W. A. EVANS, IMPERIAL WIZARD OF THE KU KLUX KLAN. Sir: Recently you made a speech in Dallas, Texas, in which you declared, in substance, that the Negro is Biologi- cally and socially inferior and has always been so and always will be so; that he cannot become an Ameri- caz. Birth, residence, obedience to laws, observance of the customs, habits and traditions, labor and service, are some of the things required to make one an American. How have we met these requirements? All of the colored people for many generations have been born in America. We have had the longest average residence in America of any racial group except the American Indian. We have obeyed the laws of the country. We have observed the habits, customs and traditions. Up to 1850 the great bulk of the wealth of the nation had been produced by the labor of our people. We have given the highest service in peace and in war. One of our number was with Christopher Columbus when he discovered America, and we have been on American soil almost continuously since 1500. Men and women of our race produced much of the food to sustain the American Army under Washington in the Revolution, and at one time one fourth of the revolutionary army was composed of colored men. We fought with Perry on Lake Erie and with Jackson at New Orleans; during the war of the rebellion, we gave 200,000 black soldiers to free the slaves and save the nation; and during the World War we gave 400,000 men that all that was best in civilization might not perish from the earth. Fifty-eight years have passed since chattel slavery was shot to death. We were then totally illiterate and propertyless and penniless. Our illiteracy has been reduced 78 per cent; we have accumulated property valued close to $3,000,000,000; we have produced many men and women of letters, painters, composers, editors, business men of rare ability and achievement, and thousands of ministers, lawyers, doctors and other members of the advanced professions. More of our people are engaged in useful productive work, in proportion to their numbers; than any other racial element in America. We are quite safe to rest our case upon the record we have made. We believe, also, that when the American people learn the truth about us, as they must learn it, and from us, their decision will not be in favor of the enemies of America for whom imperial wizard Evans speaks. We know that our achievements, all things considered, in all fields of social effort, are without parallel in the history of the human race; that our contributions to the development of the American Democracy has been greater in proportion to our numbers than any other racial element Nn America. We have paid every price it has been possible for human beings to pay. Our reward must be liberty and equality under the law. The constitution of the United States was adopted to insure domestic tranquility. Imperial Wisard Evzns and his lawless followers are destroying it; they are inviting Civil War. And this pernicious doctrine that some races are inferior and some superior is threatening the peace and security of the world, as well as America. And such a doctrine is wholly false. All human beings have human possibilities. Equality of achievement in any field of human effort depends upon opportunity, and time, and circumstance. Two thousand years ago the Anglo-Saxon was too savage, ignorant and imbured to become Roman slaves. How does Dr. Evzns know the number of years his elect of race was in THE MONITOR darkness? How does he know what the future holds for us? He does not know and his claims show him to be a very ignorant man, and a slave to the worst form of that malady,—prejudice. We say to Dr. Evans and all his kind in America, that this is our country; we have made it with our labor and sacrifice; with our blood. We have thus preserved it. That no element in this country shall define Americanism for us; we have defined it for ourselves and them. Ideally, it is a land of liberty, the asylum for the oppressed of all the earth. And thus it must ever be; we must strive to keep it so. We must have justice. We join with all lovers of liberty to crush the enemies from within and from without. Imperial Wisard Evans, if he will but look, will see, in the great book of justice, our whole answer in blazing letters of the blood we have spilled to help America and Mankind.

A. A. C. P. HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING Elects Six Members of Executive Committee, Adopts Reply to Dr. Evans and Hears Great Address The Omaha Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met at Grove M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. There was a good attendance. The president presided. The report of the nominating committee for members of the Executive Committee was adopted. The following persons were chosen for this committee: Henry W. Black, Mrs. Frederick Divers, Mrs. W. W. Peebles, H. J. Pinkett, H. W. Walsh and Rev. W. C. Williams. Three vacancies were left on the Board to be filled later. H. J. Pinkett, chairman of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to prepare a reply to the recent attack of Grand Wizard Evans, presented the report of the committee, which was received with vociferous applause and ananimously adopted. The full text of the reply which was drafted by Mr. Pinkett, appears elsewhere in this issue. Henry Monsky, first vice-president of the Board of Governors of the Omaha Welfare Federation and Community Chest was then introduced, Mr. Monsky prefaced his splendid address and appeal for the Community Chest by congratulatory remarks upon the reply to Evans and eloquent and inspirational words on the racial question upon which he could speak with sympathy as a co-sufferer of racial prejudice. He counselled that our people should show such sterling character and worth that the malicious charges and accusations of our enemies would be refuted. He then made a strong appeal for support of the Community Chest. Mr. Monsky's splendid address made a deep impression upon his audience. The next meeting of the Association will be held December 2 at which time it is planned to have another good speaker and an interesting program, due notice of which will be published next week. DEMAND KLAN BAR AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY New York, Nov. 22.—A message was sent to the Board of Overseers of Harvard University last week by the N. A. A. C. P. calling attention to reports that the Ku Klux Klan existed in the institution and asking that the organizers be ferreted out and expelled. The message stated that the Klan was a vehicle for the dissemination of the poison of race and religious hatred, and that it would be better to close the doors of the university than to allow the "empire" to remain there. SLAVE MARRIAGE DECLARED LEGAI New Orleans, Nov. 22.—Declaring his slave marriage legal, a Baton Rouge court awarded Rev. M. H. Blackburn, aged 71, judgment of $7,500 against relatives who claimed the entire $30,000 estate of his dead wife. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

BAPTIST CONVENTION, LOS ANGELES It is said that this splendid and attractive Park is one of the largest in the world. There are over 300 acres of beautiful green lawn. Well kept drive ways bedecked with flowers of all colors and kinds from the soft and dainty to the loud and gorgeous, every one trying to look its best and to exhale its sweetest fragrance. These flowers and shrubbery are from every country in the world. Many of the delegates rode through the Park in the large sightseeing cars; but a few had the honor of going through in an old fashioned buggy drawn by a very ordinary horse. The owner, time and weather beaten, boasted of having been on the job for fifty years and knowing every nook and corner in the Park as well as the names of every flower and shrubbery. He surely gave us the names of all we saw, but whether or not the names were correct I could not say. He boasted much of the advantages his old buggy had over the automobiles, how that we could see more by driving slowly and by not having our vision obstructed by any barrier. This old buggy and he looked as though they had been faithful pals of long standing. He was indeed a tskative old fellow and took great pride in pointing out the things of interest. The horse appeared to be as familiar with the various haunts and objects as he, just where and when to stop he knew. "This is the century tree," said the driver, "that blooms every hundred years and then dies. This one bloomed this year." And we beheld a very tall, slender tree of a pale green hue, resembling somewhat a rubber plant. It's work in this capacity was finished and gradually it was returning to mother earth to begin a new work of enriching the earth that other plant life might thrive. Here were children's play ground, tennis courts, base ball grounds and huts built for animals enclosed with a high iron fence. The largest bear I ever saw was here and weighed over a thousand pounds. There was also another Alaskan bear which came near that mark. They could hardly walk. I thought of the once popular song concerning the fellow who ran up the tree from the bear and prayed "Lord, if you don't help me, please don't help that bear." My heart filled with sympathy, went out to the brother as I beheld those great monsters. Had they broke out, I am quite sure I would not have been able to have prayed at all. This Park sheltered thousands of refugees during the terrible earthquake and fire. $75,000 was the price of a very handsome music pavilion built by the Italians every stone of which was brought from Italy. It is a light brown marble with a rich glowing finish. Around it are placed rows By Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson and rows of benches surrounded by trees. Another interesting building is the museum, a gift of H. de Young, and contains a rare collection of famous paintings and sculptures, ancient armour, Egyptian mummies, antiques and relics of several centuries. Here we saw a statue of a Chinese, formed out of very fine texture of wood, enclosed in a glass case. Never, in all my life have I seen anything unreal look so real and inhuman so human. His hair streaked with gray looked so real, his yellow complexion so natural, the expression with a few wrinkles in the forehead so perfect, one could not believe that he was not breathing. Kneeling with an uplifted head he presented the expression of Master I am ready to do thy bidding. It was very touching. My how willing and how humble he looked. A fine piece of work. Here we saw, I believe, some of the finest work that could be carved out of marble. Blind Homer, with eyes without any life or light. One that could not read would readily see that this must represent a blind man. Beautiful laces as delicate and real as laces made of thread decorated these statues, buttons and frills and everything necessary to put on the finer touch. I have never realized and admired the wonderful genius of the Sculptor so much as during this pleasing experience. Faces so full of expression and carved out of hard cold stone, and yet seemed so warmed with reality. What wonders and achievements man is capable of performing. How great is the Source of Wisdom from which we draw our Creator the Alpa and Omega. All comes from him! A very picturesque and interesting scene is the Japanese Garden. It is indeed oriental; covering about an acre of ground and enclosed and sheltered by a cloister of trees. There is a main entrance with many by paths covered here and there by hanging vines and archways, every path leading to some enchanted nook. A very romantic air is felt while crossing the sparkling streams filled with gold and silver fish, climbing the oval shaped bridges and viewing their Gods made of hands, that have eyes and see not; ears and hear not. In the midst of all the blooming flower beds and green shrubbery with trees hanging with beautiful foliage is seen their Temple, a place of worship, built in the shape of a belfy. Passing through the main pavilion where the famous tea is made and where each tourist registers, through hanging moss and stones we passed on to a little building whose walls and floors were filled with beautiful hand paintings in pictures and china. Such an enchanted Garden. One could not feel that he was really in the U. S. A. Benches and tables for teas were made out of large trees that still retained their bark, and knots. How thrilling and lovely to be so near to nature. NEWSLETS At Bakersville, N.

Whole Number 437 BOOK CHAT By Mary White Ovington, Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Edited by Ernest Gruening. Published by Messrs. Boni and Liveright, 195 W. 40th St., New York City. Price $3.00. Postage 10 cents extra. "Has the State you come from been overhauled by The Nation yet?" is a question frequently asked this past year. For The Nation, New York's greatest humanitarian weekly, has been publishing a series of articles, on the States of the Union. Very few have escaped unscathed. Vermont, whose story is charmingly written by Dorothy Canfield, makes the best showing, largely, we surmise, because she is poor. Were she to strike some hidden mine of wealth, she might differ little from her neighbors. East, West, North and South one learns of grafts and nationalism, of noble pioneering to be followed by ignoble exploitation. Out of the 27 States described in this first volume, Kansas, by William Allen White, is the best piece of writing. It describes the strength and the weakness of Puritanism. One feels proud of the State's noble humanitarianism, its sobriety, its lack of degrading poverty. But with this is an absence of creative art, of appreciation, and of beauty. Can the two, one wonders, never exist together? The Negro problem is a very present reality in "These United States." Ernest Gruening, editor of the series wisely limits it to two of the 27 states, Mississippi and Alabama. But here he summons two of the greatest critics the South has today, Beulah Amidon Ratliff and Clement Wood. Mrs. Ratliff writes of Mississippi. Her name first appeared in an article some yearas ago in the Atlantic Monthly entitled "A Man Hunt in Mississippi." Her story reminded one of Fannie Kempble's diary, and the Atlantic Monthly has been apologizing to its Southern constituency by sloppy "darky" sentimetri ever since. Mrs. Ratliff has lost none of her force in her summary of the State in which she lived for some years. Black and white alike are degraded by race prejudice. She shows the plantation Negro in his ignorance, his hopefulness, his animal bestiality. But she points out clearly that the Southern planter keeps him purposely in this condition. He prefers to bear with dull, irresponsible labor rather than to see the Negro show any power. He knows that cleanliness and knowledge would increase the Negro's ambition and he wants the Negro in a condition as close to slavery as possible. Thus he degrades his worker and he degrades himself. Child labor, illiteracy, narrow provincialism, and inability to face facts, these are attributes of white Mississippi. Alabama is treated by Clement Wood whose novel "Nigger" I reviewed some months ago. Miscengation is the keynote of this article and never has the subject been treated more eloquently and fearlessly. Every colored man and woman should read it to know what this white Alabaman is saying. They may not agree with his solution, Absorption, but they will follow him breathlessly as he reaches it. "A study in Ultra-Violet." Mr. Wood calls his article, and it is a great chapter in a great book. K. K. K. INVOKES LAW Steubenville, O., Nov. 22.—Members of the Ku Klux Klan here injured in an anti-klan riot filed nineteen suits under the anti-lynching bill passed sometime ago for the protection of Negroes in the South.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 21 CHEST HAGAN-TALBERT RECITAL IS GREAT MUSICAL EVENT Premier Pianist and Famous Singer Captivate and Delight An Appreciative Audience at Brandels Theatre GIVE NIGH CLASS PROGRAM Musical Masterpieces Are Skillfully Interpreted By Finished Artists of Hare Gifts Undoubtedly the greatest musical event, from the standpoint of artistic excellence, ever sponsored by our group in this city was the piano-song recital given at the beautiful Brandeis theatre Monday night, under the auspices of the Episcopal church of St. Philip the Deacon, by Helen Hagan, pianist, and Florence Cole-Talbert, coloratura soprano. While the attendance was not as large as had been anticipated the audience was a cultured, representative and warmly responsive one which inspired these eminent artists to do their very best. The audience was captivated and delighted from the first number by Helen Hagan, who opened the program with a brilliant and spirited interpretation of the Chopin B flat minor "Scherzo," to the last number by Florence Cole-Talbert, who closed the program with "Homing," which she gave as an encore in response to the enthusiastic aplause with which her last programmed number, the difficult "Caro Nome" from Rigoletto by Verdi was received. The musical critics of the Omaha dallies, August M. Borglum of the World-Herald; Henrietta M. Rees of The Bee, and Miss Myrtle Shotwell of the Omaha Daily News, all wrote in laudatory terms of the work of these artists. Persons high in musical circles in this city were most enthusiastic in their praise. The program was a generous one consisting of four numbers by each artist. These with the encores which the audience demanded and the musicians graciously gave, extended if beyond the customary length. The opening number, as has been said, "Scherzo." B flat minor by Chopin was performed with brilliance by Helen Hagan. Her other numbers were "O Love" by Lily; "Gardens in the Rain" by Debussy; Prelude, G. Minor by Rachminoff; "I Am Troubled in Mind" and Bamboule (African Dance)—(Transcription of Negro Melodies) by S. Coleridge Taylor; Hungarian Rhapsoide No. 2 by Lizst, and as encores "Deep River" by Burleigh and "The Spinning Wheel." In all her numbers her complete mastery of her art and instrument was manifest. It would be difficult to say which was her best number, the difficult Rhapsoide perhaps giving the best opportunity for full display of her superb musicianship. Her charming personality and graciousness enhance her rare musical gifts. Florence Cole-Talbert, who has a striking stage presence and a sunniness of disposition which charms her audience, chose as her opening number the difficult classic aria, "Queen of Night" from the Magic Flute by Mozart, which acclaimed her mastery of the vocal zrt. Her other numbers were Ave Maria by Schubert; Song of India by Rimsky-Korsakoff; Swiss Echo Song by Eckert; "The Wind is Eest" and "Are You Ready" (Spiritual) by Hilbert Stewart, of Chicago, a young race composer of great promise; "Oh, My Love" by Burleigh; "At Parting" by Rogers; "The Night Wind" by Farley; "Butterflies" by Seiler; "The Spirit Flower" by Tipton and "Caro Nome" from Rigoleto by Verdi, encore numbers being "A Big Brown Bear," "The False Prophet" and "Homing." It is exceedingly difficult to say which was her best number or numbers, but in Ave Maria, The Swiss Echo Song, Are You Ready and "Caro Nome" her magnificent voice and wonderful tone shading and control were given ample demonstration. Florentine F. Pinkston, our own talented townswoman, and graduate of the New England conservatory, did excellent work as Mrs. Talbert's accompanist.

THANKSGIVING IT is meet, right and our bounder duty daily to return thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of His bounty, and it is especially fitting that as a nation a day should be set apart to remind us of this duty and privilege. Our Thanksgiving Day will be more richly blessed if we share our good things with others. Remember, too, that the first motive of the day is worship, after that feasting and recreation. That we enter the courts of praise Our thanks for the little bounties That compass us all our days Still bring us to creation blessings O. Lord of the manifold mercies, As we number them one by one, From the least of Thy loving kindness To the uttermost gift of Thy Son, Lead us on from our selfish gladness To the marvelous things Thou hast IT is gratifying to notice the growth of business enterprises among our people. This is a much needed movement in the right direction. O course, we have much to learn; but we only learn by doing and often by failing. Some of the most successful business enterprises in the country have been built up by men and women who in their first one or two ventures failed. But they didn't give up. Proffiting by their mistakes they tried again. And so it must be with us. We must not be discouraged because this or that venture by ourselves or others turned out unsuccessfully. There were doubtless reasons for these failures for which we may or may not have been responsible. Perhaps we deserved to fail because we did not render service for value received. Trade and business are largely impersonal. People buy where they can get the most for their money and to succeed in business our people must be prepared to meet competition. North Twenty-fourth street offers a splendid opportunity for merchants of our group. Merchants of other nationalities, some of them selling "seconds" and "thirds" in merchandise for first class prices are growing rich off our people's Advertise A hen is not sup Much common Yet every time s She cackles f A rooster hasn't PAGE TWO naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop law, nor deny to any personual protection of the laws. patronage. We ought to have merchants of our own securing at least part of this patronage. They can get it, too, if they go after it in the right way. They must know how to buy and how to sell. Where the competing merchant is selling "seconds" for first class prices, let our merchants sell "firsts" for the same price and teach the purchaser the difference between the two. It is time more of our people of ability were intelligently and persistently going into diversified business enterprises on North Twenty-fourth street. A good start has been made. Let the good work go on. Let us help all deserving business ventures among our people grow by giving our loyal patronage to such. SELF-HELP TO an impartial observer of the signs of the times it is very evident that our race must depend very largely, if not wholly, upon itself for its support, progress and development. The disposition to help carry us, which was once quite prevalent upon the part of the better class of the dominant race, if not entirely past, is rapidly passing. We are being thrown more and more upon our own resources. It is well that we are. It forces self-help and self-help develops self-respect. An individual or a people who is willing to be always carried is not worth carrying. The individual or race who simply will accept help until he can stand upon his own feet and walk and then thank his helper and benefactor and do it alone is the one that will command success and respect. Our race has, without question, reached the stage where it can and must stand upon its own feet. It must cease to be mendicants and prove its manhood. It must cease to regard itself as an object of charity. It must recognize, utilize and develop its own resources. In saying this we are not unmindful of the fact that there are limitations in the commercial and industrial world which we must meet and overcome, but our opportunities far surpass and overtor our limitations. We think too much about our limitations and not enough about our opportunities. For example, in scores of industries we fine employment at comparatively good wages. Here is an opportunity which offsets the limitations of our exclusion from other gainful pursuits. Let us make the most of the occupations by which we make our livelihood. Let us excel in them. Let us save what money we can, invest in it homes, and using Talk in the support of worthy business enterprises of our own and in this way make larger opportunities for our youth. We should show our ability to support ourselves in all our institutions. The time for self-help has come. Let us realize this fact, accept it cheerfully and thankfully and prove our title to self-respecting manhood. COMMENTS BY MUSICAL CRITICS OF OMAHA DAILIES ON HAGAN-TALBERT The Omaha Bee A pianist of splendid technique and sympathy, a singer with great beauty and flexibility of voice, and a program crowded full of fine music, were features of the piano-song recital given at the Brandeis theater Monday evening under the auspices of the Episcopal Church of St. Philip the Deacon. The program was an unusually long one, lasting almost an hour beyond the usual length of concert programs, but all the music presented was of a uniformly high class, and the two artists, who gave so generously of their time and talent, were in no way fatigued by the tremendous technical demands of the numbers they chose to interpret. Helen E. Hagan opened the program with a splendid performance of the Chopin B flat minor, "Scherzo," and also contributed two groups and the Lizst "Hungarian - Rhapodie" No. 2. Miss Hagan has a brilliant and facile technic, a warm, sympathetic tone and both clarity and power. She interprets with refined taste and intelligence and an interesting note of individuality, although sometimes she is almost free with her rythm. She has much emotional warmth and genuine musical feeling. Her fine tone was amply demonstrated in the Liszt "Dream of Love" and much fire and brilliance was found in the G minor prelude of Rachmaninoff. The second group was unusually interesting, as it was made up of two transcriptions of Negro melodies by Coleridge Taylor, "I Am Troubled in My Mind" being an exquisite number of melodic wealth and interesting development, worthy of a frequent place on recital programs. The Hungarian rhapsodie was given with brilliance and power. Miss Hagen responded to several encases Mme. Cole-Talbert astonished with the pure beauty of her tone quality. Her voice is fresh, warm and vibrant and there are many fine points to her singing. An excellent pianissimo was found in "Ave Maria", by Schubert, and her width of range and the full glory of her high tones was found in the "Swiss Echo Song", by Ecker. Two compositions by Hilbert Stewart of Chicago show a great talent in this young Negro composer and promises much for the future. Both songs were interesting; "Are You Ready", a spiritual, being one of the high spots of the evening, both in itself and in its excellent interpretation. Mme. Cole-Talbert also did some of her most artistic singing in "The False Prophet", a delightful little encore. Another number in which she was heard at her best was the well known and extremely difficult aria, "Caro Nome", from Rigoletto. Here she sang the dazzling showers of brilliant melody with a flexibility, surety of pitch, technical proficiency and intelligence that did her the greatest credit. Florentine F. Pinkston followed unobtrusively in the accompaniments, some of which were extremely difficult. —H. M. R. The Omaha Daily News Helen Hagan, pianist, and Florence Cole-Talbert, coloratura soprano, gave a pleasing concert Monday evening at the Brandeis theatre under auspices of St. Philip's Episcopal church, and proved that music is not bounded by race or nationality. These artists represent the best in the colored world of music and their program showed musicianship and sympathetic understanding of their art. Helen Hagan chose Chopin's "Scherzo B Flat Minor" for her opening number in which she displayed marked technique. Her sympathetic touch showed to best advantage in "Gardens in the Rain", by Debussy, "I Am Troubled in Mind", by S. Cole-ridge Taylor, and "Bamboula", an African dance, were her most applauded numbers and brilliant in rythmic interpretation. Florence Cole-Talbert was most effective in the race numbers, "The Wind Is East", and "Are You Ready", a spiritual, by Hilbert Stewart. The singer paid Mr. Stewart a very pleasing tribute before singing his numbers. Her rendering of his two songs received marked applause. The third number in this group, "Oh, My Love", by Harry T. Burleigh, the colored organist and baritone solist of New York, called forth two encores, "The False Prophet" and "The Big Brown Bear". The high tones in Miss Talbert's voice are very sweet and her delivery has much charm and graciousness of manner. Miss Florentine E. Pinkston accompanied Miss Talbert. —Badollet. The World-Herald Madame Talbert has a voice of pleasing quality, which she uses with taste and intelligence. Clear enunciation and careful phrasing added to the numerous good points of her delivery.

Two new numbers by Hilbert Stewart proved quite ingratiating, as also the beautiful "Oh, My Love", by Burleight. Specially worthy of mention for its pathos and grace was "At Parting", by Rogers, also the "Spirit Flower", by Tipton, which was very well sung. Madame Talbert ended by the famous "Caro Nome", and graciously added several encores in response to the generous applause which greeted her efforts. Miss Hagan opened the program with a sympathetic and at times brilliant performance of the Scherzo in B Flat Minor, by Chopin, showing good technique and pleasing tone. In her second group, consisting of the Liebe straum, by Liszt, with its beautiful tone work, "Gardens in the Rain" of Debussy and the G Minor Prelude of Rachmaninoff, she held the audience by the magnetism of her interpretations. "I Am Troubled in Mind", by S. Coleridge-Taylor, and "Bamboula", the African Dance, transcription of Negro melodies, proved fascinating on account of their effective rhythms, while the Second Hungarian Rhapsoidus, by Liszt, gave Miss Hagan an opportunity to display the different sides of her art., for which she was most warmly applauded. Miss Hagan responded with two or three encores. She was especially effective in her fleet finger work and resonant chords. Miss Florentine Pinkston was the accompanist of the evening. —August M.

Dear Sir: As you have already launched your candidacy for President, you seem to think that you are the only living man that can enforce even the most difficult law, the Volstead Act. It would appear as though you were taking all the credit to yourself, and in doing so, you are just like most of the drys, who think that all they have to do is to lambast and criticize all law enforcers in order to make a big noise. We believe you are posing in trying this false issue in making such preposterous claims. Why don't you offer some tangible solution and constructive methods with which this could be accomplished? As you have been spending much of your time recently in Texas with LET US PAY YOU 6 We Treat STATE SAVINGS & 315 South 17th Street your friend Mayfield, who we understand you have aligned yourself with, in an effort o obtain his support with the backing of the Klu Klux Klan.

THE MONITOR Webster 4243 GAYETY AGAIN SCORES Return of the Show That Did the Gayety's Biggest Business Last Season is Better Than Lew Talbot's presentations of "Wine Woman and Song" twice daily next week at the popular Gayet剧院 promises the return of a show always popular on the Columbia "Wheel" and, this year, made more attractive than ever by new scenery, costumes and mirthful scenes. Bert Bertrand, who is featured in Hebrew comedy, Harry S. LeVan, his first assistant, and Nate Busby, a black-face funster of droll manners, will carry the laugh impelling incidents while a bevy of attractive beauties, headed by Gertrude Ralston, Betty Burroughs and Viola Spaeth, will contribute the necessary elements of vivacity that makes burlesque favorite entertainment with the whole family. Bert Bertrand wrote the book and Max Ferhmann supplied new music for "Wine, Woman and Song." Bertrand's style of Hebrew comedy has gained for him increasing popularity with the burlesque "fans" for the reason that his methods are original and his "jew" a unique creation in stage business. Harry S. LeVan presents an eccentric style of comedy, featuring a routine of dancing steps that are said to be decidedly out of the ordinary. Nate Busby, Jimmie Walters and Otto Johnson are other men of versatile ways in entertaining. But, after all, burlesque would be less attractive if mere man was in the ascendancy throughout the show, for beauty of female face and figure lends a charm that even good, hearty, clean comedy cannot entirely supplant. So it is that Gertrude Ralston, Betty Burroughs and Miss Spaeth, while they are attractive and talented principals, will be backed by a chorus of 20 singing and dancing girls to embellish the musical numbers. Costuming of unique design, fabric of costly sheen, and style that will supply eye-filling pictures for spectators is depended upon to especially please the women patrons who now throng the daily matinees. Scenery in glittering profusion, stage pictures of pleasing brilliance and arrays of sightly scenes will make "Wine, Woman and Song," according to advance promise, measure up with the most elaborate productions of the season. Crowded into two acts and eleven scenes will be twenty-one musical numbers and an appealing array of vaudeville specialties to vary the entertainment and fill the measure of snappy amusement to the brim. Ladies bargain matinee at 2:15 on week days. The Sunday matinee and the grand holiday matinee Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) will start at 3:00.

TO THE LOVERS OF MUSIC Don't fail to hear the wonderful sermon on "Music" by Grove M. E. church, Twentysecond and Seward streets, Sunday, November 28th, 3 p. m.—Adv. By O. J. Burckhardt A star of unusual brilliancy and great Christian magnitude and influence, has been removed by "that reaper whose name is death." This star has reflected a ray of light upon each life that was blessed to be associated with her. She was a strong Christian, a loving wife and a kind and patient mother. She was even dutiful to her church and pastor. As a friend there was none truer. The passing away of this splendid woman has caused sadness and gloom to hover over the entire community. She has left a vacancy that will be hard to refill. She is not dead but sleeping. And then in heaven's jewelled crown They will shine forever more. MT. MORIAH BAPTIST Rev. E. H.

Manners vary according to time and locality, so they say. For instance, in Arabia a young woman's table etiquette is judged by the skill with which she scrapes the dish with her finger and conveys the results to her mouth. American relief workers, writing from Ismil, Turkey, give an account of a family luncheon party of a half-dozen Armenian girls who had been rescued from Arab hares that is a most enlightening glimpse on manners of the Near East. "It was during some games we held that the girls who had been in captivity among the Arabs acted out the native customs of their former masters. They ate without fork or knife or spoon from a common dish placed on the ground in their midst. One girl showed us how the Arabs eat hot food. With her finger tips she smeared the food around the edges of the plate with a circular movement, blowing her fingers from time to time. When the dish was well smeared, she scooped up the food with the same circular movement and carried it into her mouth. She can eat thick soup thus, and more quickly than you could with a spoon. The soup running down her wrist was licked off hurriedly and another scoopful taken, for there was a circle of girls around the dish, and the slow ones lose out." Severe Chinese Punishments Severe Chinese Punishment. R is enacted in the laws of China that "If a mandarin, on the strength of his power or credit, steal the wife or daughter of any freeman, he shall be imprisoned for the usual time, and then put to death by strangulation." The poor man so sinning is beaten and imprisoned only. The heaviest punishment that can befall the woman is castigation and sale. And in no instance can she be sold but to a man who binds himself by the most sacred of all Chinese oaths to treat her kindly. In some provinces she may be sold, not by her husband, but by the judge before whom her offense is proved. A Chinese who forgives a wife who has not kept her marital vows, receives 20 strokes of the bamboo. A man who connives at his wife's frailty is most severely punished.

He is a serious young doctor with his office in the upper fifties. Among his patients are young women of the type that will be known to history as the flapper. "They aren't well and they aren't ill," the young doctor complained indignantly to a New York Globe writer. "There's nothing the matter with them except malnutrition. It takes almost an hour sometimes to examine one of this type of patient, only to find that her heart, lungs, stomach are all in excellent condition. There is nothing particularly wrong except that she is far under weight. "When I tell this type of patient that, the answer is always the same. 'Heavens, doctor', they shriek. I wouldn't put on any more weight for the world. Why, I might get hipy. And I could never wear knickers for golf any more, for there is nothing I dislike so much as hippy women in knickers." "Again the protest is this: 'Why, doctor, if I got fat I might lose my nice ankles, of which I am proud as the stork in the fable. And just when short skirts are coming in again. Oh, no doctor, I couldn't think of getting fatter now. It would quite spoil my type." "And so they go, with lowered vitality and less resistance to colds and all kinds of disease, just for the sake of style." OPENING UP A NEW COUNTRY Territory of Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Being Developed by Aid of Caterpillar Tractor. A territory covering 18,000 square miles, which is only 600 miles south of New Orleans and reported to be almost unknown, has been invaded by an American caterpillar tractor. This territory, twice the size of Massachusetts, possessing vast unexplored natural resources, practically without population and nearly 300 miles from north to south, possessing a coast line of probably twice that length, is called the Territory of Quintana Roo, Peninsula of Yucatan, Mexico. The government is territorial, the capital is Santa Cruz de Bravo, a town of about 2,500 midway down the Mexican Gulf coast and most of the remainder of the 9,000 population are located in the villages of Pavo Obispo, Cozumel and Becalar. Modern transportation facilities are non-existent, but the advent within the past month of the caterpillar tractor in the forests of Quintana Roo is the initiation of the development of its soil, which is claimed to be suitable for the production of corn, cotton, beans, coffee, indigo, rubber, sugar cane, tobacco, sweet potatoes, pepper, vanilla, henequen and tropical fruits, in this rich and unexplored section. Commonplace. There was a girl in New York city who had been working for eight years without a vacation. She was thin, white, and her shoulders were stooped. She had an old mother dependent upon her, and for eight years she had been tolling to free their home from the incubus of debt. One night she took an "elevated" home. In her hand she tightly clutched an envelope. She ran all the way up the street and could hardly turn the door-knob. She hurried into the room where her mother sat and dropped the envelope into her lap with a sob. The mother opened it and discovered that it was a canceled mortgage. The debt was paid. Just a commonplace girl—that was all. But oh! the beauty of that sacrificial love for her mother! Devotion With a Limit. Few of the boys at the club had met Cuthbert's better half. Hoffy, being one of the few, was called upon for information. "Has Cuthbert a devoted wife?" "As the times go, you might say so." Whereupon, being asked for an explanation, he proceeded to explain: "She won't cook breakfast for him, but she always joins him downtown in time for dinner." Good Football Material. "I hear your boy has entered college, Hiram," said Jehiel. "Yes," assented the other. "How is he doing?" asked the friend. "The professors say his skull is too thick to get anything through," answered the father. "Uh, ha." "But, of course, that makes him a star in football." Slam. bang. crash! Thus was shattered the silence of the night. After that final crash came a pause that was portentous. A faint stir was heard. Mother whispered: "Dear me, father didn't know we moved the hatrack." "Well, he knows now," muttered grandma. Expensive. Frederick O'Brien, author of South Sea island adventures, was entertaining friends at his Glendale home with some of his experiences. He chanced to remark that on one of the islands a wife could be bought for the equivalent of $5.

Since one September morning, in 1811, when an astonished clerk in the United States treasury discovered a crisp $5 note in the morning's mail along with an anonymous letter from a conscience-striken converted sinner, a "Conscience Fund" has always been maintained—and well supported. The chief contributors to this fund, year after year, have somehow managed to escape the snare of the federal fowler, only to be caught later in the toils of the secret service agent commonly known as our conscience says a Washing-on dispach. It was Franklin who said that nothing in this world is certain but teeth and taxes. The federal fund which its credited to conscience, and which now amounts to considerably more than half a million dollars, suggests that quite a few people try to side step the latter certainty only tond that the cost of dishonesty is unhappy. Gifts From 2 Cents to $30,000. Amounts have been mailed to Washington ranging all the way from 2 cents to $30,000. One man returned his original defaulction four-fold in imitation of the publican Zaccheus. A London vicar once sent Uncle Sam the sum of $14,225.15, the money having been entrusted to him by a traveling American who had been converted in his chapel and who wanted to "square himself" and thus ease his troubles some conscience. But the most recent case is rather different from any of these. A few days ago a man with a hunted look stepped up to the ticket agent at the railroad station at Uniontown, Pa. and asked what the fare was from Greensburg to Scottdale. When told that it was exactly 53 cents he deposited two quarters and three coppers and went away happy, for, like the village blacksmith, he could now look the whole world in the face for he owed not any man. At least that was what he seemed to think, for, as he explained to the surprised agent, he had beat a conductor out of that amount just 30 years ago by falling to pay his fare at the time. Few Feel They Owe Roads. It is not intimidated in the news dispatch that there is any likelihood of the railroad company opening a "Conscience Fund" for future credits of the kind. It wouldn't pay. There are not enough people, who patronize the railroads, who ever feel that they owe anything to a corporation which charges "all the traffic will bear." They may be all wrong in this, but their consciences seldom worry them. railroad officials say. Most people, it suddenly tempted to forward a missed fare to a railroad company, would probably do so in the manner of Blis Nye, who used to write to his creators, "Enclosed please find $2, on ace count—if you can." THOUSANDS OF WAR BOOKS Eight Thousand Volumes Written by Americans Alone. Americans are writing about the war and the peace to such an extent that an American room will be established when the French war library and museum in Paris are moved into permanent quarters at the Chateau de Vincennes next year. There are already 8,000 volumes by Americans, and the Museum boasts that it has one of the finest collections of American war posters. Germans, too, have been busy writing about the war. Their works comprise 25,000 volumes. France comes next. This institution was set up by the government to develop the work started by a wealthy Frenchman who, early in the war, began assembling war documents. MUST SPEAK ITALIAN Maltese Government Orders Instruction of Children in Language. On account of a large Italian population the British naval base on Malta exhibits as many problems for the British government as does Tunis for the French government for the same reason. Although the French population in Tunis is 50,000, against the Italian population of 150,000, the Italian language is not officially recognized there and Italian schools are supported either by the Italian government or by subscriptions and fees. In Malta a new law has been approved, which makes obligatory instruction in Italian as well as in English. In 1922, 95 per cent of the parents chose English for their children in the primary schools.

The German may lack the dash and pluck of a Briton to Jump—against heavy odds—and take a chance to win or lose all. But in even the pettiest of undertakings every angle of the trade problem is pondered and weighed, to eliminate the risk of loss. In so trifling a trade item as egg cups, the Germans ascertained that hens in India laid smaller eggs than their sisters in Europe, and put out special egg cups for the Indian hotel and mess trade that fit exactly, says London Tit-Bits. To these German trade scouts also the Indian religious calendars became objects of closest scrutiny. They learned which were the feast days when natives commonly made presents to one another; and just what sort of articles were in demand at such times of the year—and imported accordingly. alarm clocks had been in use for years. Suddenly sales fell off—and German clocks took the lead. Why? Because the Germans, after painstaking study, had found that whether a clock kept time or not made small difference to the jungle folk. What they really enjoyed was hearing the clock tick! Having found this secret, the Germans brought the natives a nice shiny clock with a powerful tick—a tick so loud that it fairly flooded the leafy forest with its rasping voice—and everybody was happy except the British traders. Such is the methodical, prodigiously patient, and incessantly industrious German business man. FIND DUCK-SHAPED POTTERY Explorers Unearth Rare Relics of the Pueblo Indians in Southwestern Colorado. Two important pieces of pottery of unusual historic interest made by the Pueblo Indians were unearthed in southwestern Colorado this summer by a state museum expedition party headed by Frank H. H. Roberts, associated with Curator J. Allard Jeancon of the state museum in archeological exploration work, says the Rocky Mountain News. The pottery is in the shape of a duck and was used by the Pueblo Indians in their religious ceremonials. So far as is known, this is the first shard of its kind discovered, and is valued for that reason. "Southwestern Colorado is a vast storehouse of treasure for the archeologist," Roberts says, "and is scarcely scratched as yet." Roberts says the apartment house, supposedly a product of modern American efficiency and ingenuity, was used by the Pueblo Indians long before the supremacy of the white man had been established. A high type of civilization prevailed among the cliff-dwelling Indians, comparing favorably in some respects to that which exists today. Relics revealing Pueblo Indian civilization in its earliest stages were discovered at Montezuma mesa. Some of the earliest dwelling sites were examined carefully and information of great historic value was obtained. Doom of the Rivet Terror Blowing red-hot rivets through a hose of metal is replacing the old rivet tosser and the boy with the catching can as a means of transportation. The new apparatus is known as the "Penflex rivet gun" and consists of a galvanized metal tank with a connection welded to the side for the air supply line. The discharge valve is opened by a movement of a steel rod attached to the treadle. A metal receiver with a buffer block is at the discharge end of the conveyor tube. This prevents the plastic rivet from being deformed when suddenly arrested upon reaching the end of its run. Gentle Hint. "Is that clock right?" asked the caller; who had outstayed his welcome His hostess yawned. "Oh, no!" she said, "That's the clock we always call the visitor." The obdurate one sat down again. "The visitor!" he remarked. "What a curious name for a clock!" His hostess ventured an explanation. "You see," she said, "we call it that because we can never make it go!" And even then he failed to see the point. Followed Instructions Bertie was a silly boy. In fact, he was the siliest boy in the school. One morning the teacher made him read a passage aloud. He began: "The storm was upon us. Our frail b-b-b-" "Bark," prompted the teacher. But Bertie merely gasped. "Bark," repeated the teacher, this time rather sharply. Bertle gave another gasp, but meeting the stern eye of his teacher, he said meekly: "Bowwow, bowwow." Making Him Happy "What have you there?" asked the proprietor of the fast-food mountain hostelry. "Another letter from that chump who has been writing us for rates." "And add the postscript that the hotel is closed."

THE MONITOR TOWN LIFE IN NEW REPUBLIC Community Building in Czechoslovakia Includes Theater and Other Forms of Recreation. Village life in Czechoslovakia is much fuller than the life on our main streets. As in most of Europe, the farmers do not live on isolated farms cut off by bad roads and weather from the neighbors, but after their work in the fields come back into town and have a real community life there- social, political meetings, dance and song festivals, sokol entertainments, outings, according to Viola L. Paradise and Helen Campbell in Scribner's. In one village of only 1,200 inhabitants—a village consisting of a single street and down near the railroad station a malt factory owned co-operatively by the farmers in the village—was a community building erected a year ago with public funds—500,000 crowns. It had a theater, lecture rooms, a well-equipped gymnasium, baths, a large garden, an athletic field, an excellent coffee house and restaurant and a number of rooms in which visitors to the village could be accommodated—the whole building modern and attractive. The day we visited this village a play for children was being given in the theater, preparations for a sokol lecture in the evening were being made, in the coffee house men were reading papers from all over the country or were playing billards or chess. The opera from the nearest city was to come next evening. STRETCH OUT BODY MUSCLES Do as Animals Do if You Wish to Keep Fit, Advises Walter Camp. I went to the Bronx zoo, and I watched the lions and tigers. I saw none of them standing and kicking out their legs 50 or 60 times for exercise. I did see them stretch the great body muscles a hundred times by getting hold of the bars of the cage and then stretching that great back, says Walter Camp in the World's Work. You find the same with the domestic animals. Call your dog off the sofa; what does he do? The first thing after he has jumped down is to make one long stretch backward and forward, seeing that those muscles of his body are all right. He does this a hundred times a day. Are these simple exercises sufficient to keep one fit and strong? The answer to that question is another question: Would you dare open the door of the cage of one of these wild animals? And yet he may have been in that cage for six or eight years. If you were put in a twelve-foot cage for six or eight years you would be powerless, but they can run and jump. They keep themselves fit by this stretching of the long muscles of the body. Recession of an Old Master- In London the other day a certain insurance company was requested by a firm of auctioneers to insure an oil painting for £500 ($2,250). It had been in the possession of an old English family for many years and was said to be very valuable. The insurance company officials had the old painting cleaned in case identification should be required. The title submitted to the auctioneers was "A Storm at Sea." After the cleaning this title was amended to "Two Little Girls and a Dog." No value could be placed by either the company or the auctioneers upon the painting. Experts were called in and values were fixed all the way from £100 ($450) to £200 ($800). Finally the picture was sent to a firm of famous dealers who declared without reserve it was just worth 18 shillings ($4.32)—Insurance Press. The New Leper Cure. The treatment with the ethylesters (of the Chalummoira or Hydrocarpus oil) seems the beginning of a solution of the, up till recently, hopeless problem of leprosy. "The doctor conducts a constant hand-to-hand struggle with the bacillus, fighting now one way and then another. It is worth it all. What a treat to go about our home now! They may have no noes, but you can see them stumping round as if they were haile and hearty. Instead of 60 or 70 daily dressings, now we have only 15, and these are largely new-comers." This is from Dr. Isabel Kerr, who is working among the lepers at Dichpalli. Alwaya Safe. A man was taking dinner at the home of a friend. The dinner consisted chiefly of hash, and on being offered some he refused. The host, not wishing to see his guest go hungry, insisted that he take some. Upon that the guest replied that he never ate hash, not even at home. "Why is that?" asked the host. "Well," answered the other, "if never eat it at home because I know what's in it, and I don't eat it away from home because I don't know what's in it." "Dizigold" a substitute for Gold. The Swedish cheap jewelry alloy called "Dizigold" is claimed to combine the color and luster of gold with the hardness and durability of steel, also to have great resistance to the action of acids and alkali. It seems to be an aluminum bronze with copper in varying proportions up to 90 per cent. It is stated to be a good substitute for German silver, which contains considerable nickel as well as copper, with small amounts of aluminum and zinc. And the Hunter Couldn't Answer A hunter and a golfer were at it hammer and tongs. "To thunder with hunting," said the golfer, "I can buy all the meat I want in a butcher shop, and it's better than you can shoot." "Is that so?" said the hunter. "Can you buy jackspeed in a butcher shop? Can you buy venison? Can you buy canvasback?" "Sometimes," said the golfer, "and sometimes not. But you can go hunting and shoot a pound of pork sauce?"

EMERSON'S LAUNDRY The Laundry That Suits All 1881 No. 24th St. Web. 0839 The little boy with the rather grubby face was crying lustily in the street when a kind old lady, who happened to be passing, stopped and asked him the cause of his grief. "Boo, hoo! 'Cause I've lost a penny," was the tearful rejoinder. "Mother gave it to me and I can't find it anywhere." "Ah, never mind," said the kind old soul, as she took her purse out of her pocket. "Here's another penny for you." The child instantly stopped his howling and took the penny in his grim hand. The old lady passed on, but she had not gone far when she heard howls louder than ever coming from the boy. Retracing her steps she asked the reason of his renewed lamentations.
