The Monitor

Be Sure to Vote for Klaver for County Assessor LIFTING LIFT TOO NEW FACES ON THIS SEASON'S BUFFALO TEAM Hans Reis, in an Interview With The Monitor, is Highly Enthusiastic Over This Years Prospects of the Team TEN PITCHERS ON THE SQUAD Jimmy O'Neil, Washington Flash Shortstop, Has Reported to the Shreveport Headquarters. Is .300 Hitter Reports emanating from Shreveport, La., the Omaha Western League training camp, are very encouraging, according to an interview with Hans Reis, secretary of the club, who has been in telegraphic communication with Barney Burch, president, who with Manager Art Griggs is in charge of the Buffaloes, in their preparatory work. Mr. Reis tells us that the recruits as well as regulars are looking fine, several of them looking as if they will make great timber for a pennant winning craft this summer. By the time this yarn is in type the Omahas will have probably played a couple of exhibition games with the Shreveport team. Mr. Reis was asked for a tentative line-up for team and he gives us this information. 1st base and manager—Art Griggs. 2nd base—L. F. "Chick" Thompson. 3rd base—Jimmy Wilcox. Shortstops—Jimmy O'Neil, and a recruit named Phelps. Outfielders—Lavalle, from the N. Y. Yanks, D. J. Brown, Joe Bonowitz, Chief Robinson, (an Indian), Lenahan, from Iowa, Thornton and Pederson. Catchers—Wilder, Stallman, Siemers, Hanson of Omaha, and perhaps Hale who is now holding out for more salary. Pitchers—Burke, Schmanske, Cullop, Koupal, Praul and Prennergast all righthanders and Bailey, Harry Lee Matthews and Gernandt, southpaws. Another bit of good news is that of the possible return to Omaha of Speece sold to Washington, and of "Buckshot" May, sold to Pittsburg. A condition in the sale of these men was to the effect that should they not make the grade, they were to be returned to Omaha for further seasoning. We want them to make good on their big chance in the majors, but would welcome them back home again. Omaha had a real ball club last year and hitting over 300, as they did, would have won the pennant, with real efficient management. Ed Konechy was a flivver. He did not have the ability to discipline his men as he should and was himself a weak peg at first base. If our theory of the reason of last years failure is right, we are then predicting a great year this season, for Art Griggs will see that the boys are playing the game at their best pace, and will do likewise himself. He is a strict general, but a gentleman, he wastes no words but makes his few well understood. We are expecting great things from him. Plans are already under way for opening day in Omaha and a great time is being anticipated by the dyed-in-the-wool fans. It should be warm spring weather the middle of April when the teams open in Omaha, but opening day comes but once each season and regardless of the weather Barney, Hans and Griggs are assured a mammoth crowd for the opener. Mr. Reis stated that he well knew a large percentage of the gate receipts came from the Colored race and we know that the ownership of the Omaha Club appreciates the patronage of our group. If you people are not fans, become so, it is a great game and a great season is promised. Boost for the Buffaloes. COLORED WAITRESSES ARE DISCHARGED Boston, Mass., March 14—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Harvard university, acting on a report of the Women's Visiting Committee, composed of prominent society women, has discharged the Colored waitresses, numbering nearly one hundred, who were employed in the Freshmen dining halls; and hired white girls to replace them. The Committee based its recommendation which received the approval of the Overseers, on the ground of "efficiency." The students who patronize the dining halls come from wealthy families. College officials are loath to discuss the change. THE MONITOR NEW JERSEY COLORED DEMOCRATS ARE ACTIVE (Preston News Service) Neward, N. J., Mar. 14.—A meeting of the advisory committee of the New Era Colored Democracy of Essex County, Inc., was held last Friday night at the office of the president, William B. Brandon. Plans were made preparatory to a monster meeting of the organization the latter part of this month at which time definite arrangements will be made for the coming campaign. Mr. Brandon announced that there is a very strong desire on the part of Colored Democrats for a Colored candidate on the Democratic ticket, and it is one of the matters that was given serious attention. An educational campaign is being planned to be conducted among Negro voters of the county and state. Joseph Carr, Resident of Omaha for Thirty-seven Years Answers Summons Saturday Afternoon Joseph Carr, who had been a highly respected resident of Omaha for thirty-seven years died at his late residence, 2701½ Cuming street, Saturday afternoon, following an illness of several months. He was Worshipful Master of Excelsior Lodge No. 2. A. F. & A. M., and Royal Grand Patron of the Eastern Star. The funeral, attended by a large gathering of friends was held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Masonic Hall, Twenty-fourth and Parker streets. Preceding the ritual exercises of Hiawatha Chapter O. E. S., the burial service of the Episcopal Church was read by the Rev. John Albert Williams. The Masonic Lodge had its service at the grave, conducted by Emery R. Smith, W. M., assisted by other officials. Interment was at Forest Lawn. Among the exercises at the hall were the reading of resolutions from Hiawatha Chapter O. E. S., by Mrs. L. McCullough; from the Grand Matrons' Council by Mrs. W. H. Ransom and from Eureka Commandery by Maynard L. Wilson. Joseph Carr was born February 13, 1853 at Cambridge, Mass., and was the second child and son of John and Maria A. Carr, who had been slaves but gained their freedom. He was sent to school when four years old at Cambridgeport, which he attended until he was a little past seventeen when he enlisted in the United States Army, January 7, 1870, serving with the Twenty-fourth infantry for seventeen years as private, sergeant and post quartermaster sergeant, also acting clerk and sergeant-major. He was honorably discharged August 26, 1887 coming to Omaha in September of that year. For a number of years he was janitor at the library where he made good use of his opportunities for reading and study which was his ruling passion. He studied law at the Omaha School of Law, receiving his degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1899, and passed the state bar at Lincoln June 17, 1899, and was admitted to practice. He devoted his attention chiefly to real estate and some years ago organized the Pioneer Real Estate Company, the other members of which were T. P. Mahammitt, Alphonso Wilson and Silas Terrill. Mr. Carr was a profound historical student and a well-read historian. He has no surviving relatives. The deceased has left a modest but comfortable estate which bears testimony to his thrift and industry. He was a pleasant, affable gentleman, kindly and charitable and always anxious to interest young men and women in good literature. SUDDENLY ROUSED FROM HIS SLEEP, MAN SHOOTS HIS AGED MOTHER (Preston News Service) Memphis, Tenn., Mar. 14.—Dreaming that burglars were in the house William Shelby shot his aged mother. Mrs. Louise Gowdy, aged 80, when she awakened him early last Thursday night, according to a story told the police. Shelby was at his home, and seeing that he appeared to be having a bad dream, his mother shook him. Shelby seized a revolver that was under his pillow and fired before he realized what he was doing. His mother corroborated her son's story to the police and no arrests were made. The aged woman was shot in the stomach. She was taken to the General Hospital. Physicians examining her indicate that the wound may prove serious. Officers of the Colored Klaver for County Assessor Club JOHN ADAMS Dan Doddam John Smith J. Battley WHAT IS BEING CIVILIZED? WHAT IS BEING CIVILIZED? There have been-at least six definitely known civilizations preceding this one—the one we call western civilization. There may have been many more. Civilizations may have come and gone of which not a remnant remains. We know, however, that there were six and we are fairly familiar with them—the Egyptian, the Chaldean the Indian, the Chinese, the Greek and the Roman. They have grown up over long periods, flourished, flowered, drooped and dropped. In some ways we have rea-Much of that apparent consciousness were superior to the western. In fact, we all know that, judged by certain customs and habits, the western civilization is immeasurably crude and imperfect. To wonder, to try to learn whether we are superior to the men of the far past is fascinating. We must admit that it is doubtful if we are much advanced. We appear to be more NATIONAL MUSIC UNIVERSITY: $50,000 BUILDING FUND Chicago, Ill., March 14—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—The students and friends of the National University of Music of Chicago, have set aside the first week in May to be known as National University of Music week, and ask all race loving people to assist in a drive for a $50,000 building fund for the purchase of permanent quarters for this great race institution. The University is not for profit, but for the purpose of affording a musical education to students from anywhere in the United States. Some two years ago Miss Pauline Lee, founded the University. Aided by a few friends she leased the old home of Madame Schumann-Heincke, the famous prima donna, located at 3673 Michigan boulevard, for the rental of $150 per month. At first the struggle to survive was a very difficult one, but the unfailing energy of the founder coupled with the gradual recognition by the race of the great value of the institution, it has managed to continue to keep open its doors to the many eager students who seek a musical education. The building in which the university is housed is about to be sold and it becomes necessary either for the members to purchase the building or provide other quarters. It is for this reason that the board of directors and friends have considered it advisable to make an appeal to the entire race throughout the United States to aid in the drive for the sum of $50,000 to be used in the purchase and alteration of the present building, or the buying of a new one. This is the first time that the National University of Music has ever called upon the general public for support. Music has become one of the most important considerations in national life, not only as a means of enjoyment but as a source of profit to hundreds of young men and women. Volunteers are sending their names to the University and outlines of the plans are being sent. Elizabeth City, N. C., March 14.—(By The Associated Negro Press). A mob which stormed the county jail here Sunday night in an effort to get hold of Elwell Overton and Sap White, was foiled by the hurried removal of the two men to Norfolk Va. Overton is charged with having thrown W. R. Ballance, engineer of a tugboat, overboard during a fight. John Carlyle, in The Chicago Daily kind; we have a keener consciousness of the rights and pains and privileges of the weak, or at least we seem to. Much of that apparent consciousness and conscience is a thin coating of civilization, easily scratched through and destroyed. We know that we have made enormous strides in mechanics. We can do things by machinery that our ancestors never dreamed of, or at least if they dreamed of them and did them their tracks do not convince us. One man today does the work of a score of ancients, faster, sometimes better. But—and this is a very large but—has man a better brain than he had during the fruitful years of those older empires? Is he smarter? Does he think to finer intellectual purpose? Take a day off and read the Plato STANDARD LIFE PREMIER IN SURANCE COMPANY OF RACE Atalanta, Ga., Mar. 14.—The Insurance Department of the State of Georgia has just approved the annual report of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta. This statement indicates that Standard Life is still the premier life insurance company in the world managed and controlled by Negro brains and capital. The gross assets of the company it is revealed, amount to nearly three million dollars. The increase in assets for the one year 1923, alone, being more than a half million, or $682,-571.31. The report also indicates that Standard Life has the largest surplus of any Negro life insurance company in America, and that the increase in its income is more than one-half million dollars. The total insurance in force at the close of 1923 was nearly thirty million dollars, representing an increase for the year of nearly six million dollars. These are staggering figures when it is kept in mind that the Standard Life Insurance Company is but ten years old. NO STAR; NO POLICEMAN Little Rock, March 14.—(By The Associated Negro Press). Because after the town marshal had been arrested by Federal authorities on charges of bootlegging, there were no more police stars left, the town of Edmondson, numbering four hundred was compelled to go without a law of ficer until the town marshal was released from custody, on bail, and permitted to return his star. The alleged bootlegging marshal is Gabriel Thompson. COLORED YOUTH HONOR HARVARD GRADUATE Boston, Mass., March 14.—(By the Associated Negro Press.) — James Theorew Hewlett has been awarded the Bachelor of Science Degree, by Harvard University, at midyear, having completed the regular four year's course in three and a half years. Young Hewlett is a product of the Boston public schools, having graduated from the Boston English High School at fifteen years of age. At Harvard he specialized in biology and chemistry. He was appointed by Dean Greenough to act as Undergraduate Student Advisor for 1923-1924. While pursuing his studies, he has worked as a clerk-carrier in the Post-Office. He intends to study medicine. of your school days with a more understanding heart than you had then. Read Confucius. Read the early prophets of the race. Have we learned so much since then? Have the truth seekers of today found much that is new and much that is of greater value? How many words of fundamental wisdom have been added to the words of the ancients—the lawgivers of dead and gone civilizations? And there is a final question to put to ourselves, more important than all the rest: Has the heart of man changed? Has the intention changed? The true test of civilization is man's plans for himself and his fellows. Has he a wider, finer perspective? Does he know more than he did in the far past, sense something of the divine plan for the universe? Has he learned that he is keeping step in an eternal progress? Has man begun at last to learn "what it is all about"? That is the test of civilization. PUSHING KLAVER'S CANDIDACY FOR COUNT YASSESSOR Friends of S. E. Klaver, present Deputy County Assessor, who is a candidate for the position of County Assessor, for which promotion he is well qualified, are working enthusiastically for his nomination. Among his most active supporters are the members of the Colored Klaver for County Assessor Club, of which the following are the officers: Dan Desdunes, president; Sergeant Isaac Bailey, vice president; John A. Smith secretary; and Attorney John Adams, chairman of the Executive committee. This is the first time during his many years' residence in Omaha that Dan Desdunes, the famous and popular bandmaster, has ever taken any active part in a political campaign. That he as well as the other officers are whole heartedly for Mr. Klaver for County Assessor is quite complimentary to the candidate and will unodubtedly make many votes for this aspiring young republican. WINS $50 PRIZE FOR NEWS STORY New York City, March 14—(By The Associated Negro Press). Miss Thelma Berlack, 202 W. 143d St., and a pupil of the Theodore Roosevelt High School, was the winner of the "Biggest News of the Week" prize offered by the New York World in a competition in which there were entered 1800 contestants. Victory carcied with it a cash award of $50. It came at a time when Miss Berlack was on the verge of leaving school because of the lack of funds. She has been an honor student in her class for three and a half years. WHITE MAN HAS COHEN'S NEW ORLEANS New Orleans, La., March 14—(By The Associated Negro Press). Denying reports that Walter Cohen, rejected by the United States senate for the post of comptroller here, was serving without pay, E. F. Koele white, assistant collector of customs here, informed Mr. Cohen on his arrival here this week that he was running the office and that Cohen had nothing to do with it. Koele is signing all letters and documents and said he would continue to do so. St. Patrick's Day Ball at Dreamland Hall, Monday, March 17. Adams' Orchestra—Adv. HAMPTON HEAD TELLS OF LAND GRANT COLLEGES (Preston News Service)· Hampton, Va., Mar. 14.—The objective toward which the Negro land grant colleges of the South are striving is "to turn out young men and women who are fitted in body and mind and conscience and will to face conditions which they must face," according to Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in addressing the final session of the fourth annual conference of these schools here last Wednesday. The conference extended over three days and was attended by executives of seventeen Negro land grant colleges and a group of well known Negro educators. UNUSUAL HONORS TO FAMOUS COLORED HERO Four Wreaths Hung by City, State State Civilians in Boston for Crispus Attucks—Mayor a Speaker Boston, Mass., March 14, 1924. After issuing a "Call to the Race" to observe March 5th as Citizenship Foundation Day, for Crispus Attucks as the first martyr for American independence and liberty, the National Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League certainly practiced its own preaching on Wednesday in Boston. For on that day, the great Merchants National Bank on State Street opposite the wheel in the Cobblestones marking the spot where Attucks fell hung out its big U. S. Flag. On the electric pole there the Boston Branch hung a laurel wreath, Jas. G. Wolff making a statement to the crowd held back by two mounted police. Wm. H. O'Brien, champion of the Irish cause, at the League's suggestion, placed a large galox wreath on Attucks' grave near the Common. At 10 a. m. Boston's Public Celebration Director flanked the Attucks monument with the state and national colors. Noon-time found two wreaths on the statue, one by the state and one by the city, the former one placed by Major Sampson of the Governor's staff and the latter by Mayor Curley himself. The flags were flown from all city buildings. Then at 12:30 national headquarters held outdoor exercises in front of the statue, the keynote of which as sounded by Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter was that the race which shed its blood first for the founding of the Republic and liberty certainly has original ground title to every public right and privilege. The speakers were Mayor James M. Curley, Major E. J. Sampson of the Staff of Governor Cox, Stewart E. Hoyt, the Colored Deputy Collector and prominent Elk and Mason; Rev. J. W. Hill, national league chaplain; Rep. Wm. H. O'Brien of the State House, Rev. D. S. Klugh, Chas. L. Rayson, Esq. Mrs. Mary James and Rev. J. W. Powell of the Sons of Veterans. The crowd stood in the rain through nearly two hours of eulogy of Attucks and his Irish comrades. Mass Meeting At Night. Mass Meeting At Night. The Boston Branch loyally backed up the national body by a great Attucks mass meeting in the old 12th Baptist Church at night. Demands for the Dyer Bill, for Soldier Pardons, for abolition of federal segregation in view of Attucks' heroism were voiced by white and Colored orators including E. T. Morris, presiding, Rev D. S. Klugh, John A. Hagan, E. Mark Sullivan, Corporation Counsel, Rep W. H. O'Brien, Dr. Alice W. McKano A. G. Wolff, Esq., I. T. Dontch, Esq, and J. W. Schenck, Esq., Colored Assistant U. W. S. District Attorney. Carl Logan sang at the statue and Mrs Ethel G. Russell at the church. JUNIOR MUSIC CLUB ATTRACTS ATTENTION St. Louis, Mo., March 14.—(By the associated Negro Press.)—The lately organized St. Louis Junior Music Club is making rapid progress and is destined to take a high place among the younger people of this city. Its membership is made up of boys and girls in their "teens" and the monthly meetings are planned so as to cultivate the highest conception of the musical art, as well as to bring out the talent of the budding artists. These meetings vary studying the various composers and most excellent programs are given in addition. The attendance of patrons is encouraged, and the popularity of the organization is attested in the crowded auditorium of the Y. W. C. A. where these meetings are held. The officers are Miss Maude Oswell, Pres.; Miss Beulla Miller, Sec.; and Miss Reed, Treasurer. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 37 HOWARD UNIVERSITY FITTINGLY OBSERVES IT'S ANNIVERSARY Suitable Exercises Mark Charter Day Observance Commemorating Fifty-seven Years of Service Prof. Dyson, One of First Students, Relates Reminiscences Showing Eagerness for College Education Washington, D. C., March 14.—Four hundred alumni and members of the graduating classes of all departments of the University assembled on Monday evening, March 3d, 1924, at 8:80 p. m. in the beautiful new dining hall to commemorate the founding of Howard University, fifty-seven years ago, March 2nd, 1867, and to strengthen the feeling of friendship between graduates and graduating students. It was the occasion of the first annual Alumni-Senior Charter Day Dinner which was in the nature of a "fellowship feast," the aim being to the officers and faculty of the University, the graduating classes, and the alumni into closer relations and to keep alive the traditional "Howard Spirit." The alumni were hosts on this occasion to the members of the graduating classes. During the dinner, an inspiring program was rendered; the keynote of the speeches being satisfaction that at last the members of all departments represented by their senior classes had met with the graduates in the interest of a greater Howard University. As a part of Charter Day observance, addresses were delivered by Professor Walter Dyson of the Department of History and Dean George W. Cook of the School of Commerce and Finance, at the noon-day Chapel exercises. Professor Dyson's address was concerned with the history of the University and Dean Cook's had to do with certain personal reminiscences, he having had the privilege of being one of its first students and having served for many years as Secretary of the University. An interesting feature in the early life of the University was strikingly referred to in the following remarks made by Professor Dyson: "When it became known that the University was open, applications came in from all manner of people asking admission. It was impossible for some to believe that Negroes were being permitted to enter college. Many applied, asking if it were true that Negroes could enter. Married men applied to enter and, if possible to bring their wives. Many, without money, made application. Many, without preparation, except the ability to read and write, wished to enter. They brought with them in many an instance a pick and shovel or spade. They came to dig, literally, to dig their way through school. It was they who in a large measure drained this hill, graded it and cut these streets we now enjoy." Dean Cook's reminiscences pictured the early struggles of the University in an intimate and personal way, showing that in spite of the deprivations and the strenuousness of the period there was much of charm to lure onward the ambitious persons who have since served their Race and Nation in no mean capacity. MASSACHUSETTS LOSING HER COTTON MILLS Boston, Mass., March 14—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Massachusetts is becoming alarmed over the loss of her cotton mills. The State Department of Labor and Industry has just completed an intensive study of the textile industry, and reported to the Governor that the number of mills in the state will steadily decrease, under present conditions, and that the number will continue to increase in the south. The investigation has shown that it costs the Massachusetts' cotton mills 13 cents per pound more to produce certain grades of cotton goods than it does southern mills. The reason given is the excess cost in the Old Bay State, due to restrictive labor laws, especially those concerning the employment of women. It is considered that the change will result to the benefit of colored labor, which will be employed in the southern mills, while foreign labor is largely employed in Massachusetts mills.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK "The greatest man is he who chooses the right with invincible resolution, who resists the sorest temptations from within and without, who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in storms and most fearless under menace and frowns, whose reliance on truth, on virtue, on God, is most unfaltering." William Ellery Channing. PROMISING SIGNS MANY are inclined to be very pessimistic concerning inter-racial conditions in the United States. They believe that the relations between the black and white races in America are becoming more and more acute and that the future holds little hope of peaceful adjustment or betterment. It is contended, with some foundation in fact for this opinion, that as the Colored American advances in intelligence, industry and thrift, his progress is met with resentment upon the part of the great body of white Americans. This resentment is manifested in subjecting him to embarrassments, humiliations and denial of his civil rights which are becoming increasingly unbearable. This is engendering bitterness and hostility upon the part of the progressive and self-respecting members of the race which bids ill for amicable relations between the races. It is also pointed out that the average white American does not believe that Colored folk are capable of doing any worthwhile thing and consequently they are not entitled to any consideration. This mental attitude, which certain of our number contend it is impossible to change, is responsible for the contemptuous treatment to which our people are so largely subjected. Those who hold this pessimistic view are mistaken. The very fact that our progress meets with opposition shows that we are a factor worth considering. Opposition develops strength. And then there are many signs of promise which show that this obtuse mental attitude must change, can be changed and is changing. Among these may be noted the intelligent and sympathetic articles on the race question which are appearing in representative magazines, reviews and other publications, not only from the pens of white writers but also those of our own. We are beginning to speak for ourselves and our voices are being heard. Within the past few months no less than four of our outstanding men have been invited to deliver addresses in leading Southern colleges, one of these being an influential girls' seminary, where they were given not only a courteous but enthusiastic reception. It is needless to say that these gentlemen made a most favorable impression. These are among the promising signs of a better day for America; for what affects one part of the American people, for weal or woe, affects all. "QUALITY_SERVICE" IT is a truth that needs emphasizing and especially for our people that "Quality Service" is what counts. This was the point driven home with his usual eloquence made by Bishop Shaylor in addressing a gathering of professional men of the other group a few days ago. He pointed out that it is "quality service" which brings promotion, which leads to the topmost round of success. If this advice is needed for the other people, it is certainly needed for our own. There is too much of a desire to simply "get by." To render the minimum of service, rather than the maximum. Too many of us are satisfied with mediocrity. We should be filled with the determination to be the best in our line, whatever that be. Let the Negro race in America be fired with the ambition to excel in whatever we undertake and our status will be rapidly changed. DO you recall those words from Longfellow's great poem, "Hiawatha"? "I am weary of your quarrels, Of your wranglings and dissensions. 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 person natural protection of the laws. All your strength is in your union. All your danger is in discord; Therefore be at peace henceforward. And as brothers live together." These words are worth pondering by our people. Think them over. By united action the more than twelve million of our people can command anything we desire, that is reasonable and just in this country. This is also true of the more than 12,000 of our group in Omaha. We can become a power in the industrial, commercial, intellectual and political world. CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE F. L. BARNETT has filed as a candidate for the State Legislature from the Tenth district. This district contains a large number of our people. Get behind Barnett and boost. He is of good character and reputation. His ability will compare favorably with that of other aspirants for legislative honors and none of us can have any excuse for not supporting him.

Negroes were introduced to take the place of Indians, who did not prove satisfactory as slaves. The French developed great indigo, cotton, sugar, and coffee plantations and built beautiful chateaux all about the country. It is reported that toward the end of the eighteenth century they had, with Negro slave labor, made of Haiti the richest colony in the world. At this time they had 2,500,000 acres under cultivation and 400,000 slaves employed in the fields alone. By 1780 slave labor was producing for the colonists $70,000,000 annually. The close of the century, however, found the Negro slaves and free mullatoes in revolt. They won their independence by driving the French from the country, and in 1804 set up an independent government under their great Negro leader, Dessalines. Haiti has many interests and attractions in its own right. It shares with the Republic of Santo Domingo the island called, by Columbus, Hispaniola. Haiti occupies the western end of the island and has an area of 10,000 square miles; accordingly it is about one-third the size of South Carolina. It has a dense population of 2,000,000 souls, or an average of 200 per square mile. The country is mountainous and abounds in beautiful scenery. The rivers of importance are few. Haiti has not only a tropical climate with alternating wet and dry seasons, but, with mountains everywhere, it furnishes nearly every degree of temperate climate as well.

Its work extended far be- yond education, embracing abandoned lands and supplying the Negroes with food and clothing. Gen. Howard was appointed Commissioner. ‘The Bureau founded many schools in localities which had been in the line of the Union armies, and these with the others established by its agency, were placed under some sys- tematic supervision. In some states schools were carried on entirely by aid of the funds of the Bureau, but it had the co-operation and assistance of several religious and benevolent so- cieties. 105. Who was Nora Gordon? Nora Gordon was born in Columbia Ga., in 1866, the daughter of parents who were former slaves, belonging to the well known General Gordon She attended the public schools of La Grange, Ga, and entered Spelman Seminary in 1882. Nora Gordon's work as pioneer organizer of Tem- jperance Societies, and Sunday Schools is one of the outstanding achieve- ments in the history of Race-women. Completing her course in Spelman in 1888, an urgent call came for her tc go to Africa, where she labored until 1893, being compelled to return home in that year.

N. U.) PAGE FOUR HELP SAVE GERMANY'S STARVING CHILDREN A campaign has been launched in Omaha and in the State of Nebraska to raise funds for the starving children of Germany. One of the strongest committees that ever handled a campaign in Omaha is directing the work of raising the money. Mr. Frank B. Johnson of the Omaha Printing Company is chairman, and Mr. Carl R. Gray president of the Union Pacific System, is vice chairman. The following is the committee: W. W. Head, Ford E. Hovey, C. T. Kountze, James C. Dahlman, F. W. Judson, T. C. Byrne, Frank Keogh Randall K. Brown, N. P. Updike, A. J. Eggers, O. H. Barmettler, M. C. Peters, George Brandeis, Henry Doorley, Joseph Polcar, Ballard Dunn, F. A. Brogan, Henry Monsky, Dr. Frank Smith, Carl R. Gray, E. Buckingham, W. A. Fraser, Frank B. Johnson, E. F. Waterbury and Harry A. Wolf. The campaign to be conducted here is a part of a national program to save the more than seven million German children from suffering and death because they are not able to get proper food and nourishment. According to Chairman Johnson children are dying in the streets and homes of Germany because of lack of food. "Thousands of children will die and many thousands of them will suffer a life worse than death unless quick aid is given them," said Mr. Johnson. "The hospitals and public institutions are now filled with under-nourished children. We cannot do anything else but hear their cries and pleas for aid. These children had nothing to do with bringing on these conditions. They are its victims." Carl R. Gray is one of the most enthusiastic workers in the campaign challenged workers in the campaign. "I am interested because America never waged a war against children," said Mr. Gray. "We cannot turn a deaf ear to the cry of suffering humanity. We must forget the past and help. By aiding these children we will show to the world our genuineness for world-wide good will." Mr. Gray said that during wartime the government fed war prisoners and now that children of a former enemy country are dying for food, the people of America should come to their aid and save them from death. Solicitation by the executive committee will be limited to a selective list of business men. Donations may be made by mailing checks to Fred W. Thomas, First National Bank, who is treasurer of the campaign. National leaders of thought are taking part in this country-wide campaign. The Chicago campaign was held under the direction of General Chas. G. Dawes, and the National Chairman is General Henry T. Allen who directed the American Army of Occupation in Germany. ADVICE TO THE MUNSON LINE Jewish Citizens Are In Business, You Know. This newspaper learns that the Munson Steamship Line gladly accepts Jews on board its ship bound for Nassau, but declines to give them rooms in the Nassau Hotel after they get there. Inasmuch as there is no other desirable hotel on the island that situation is not agreeable to those that suffer this stupid un-American discrimination. It would be interesting to know why the Munson Line, a public corporation, which owns the hotel, considers Jewish citizens desirable on board of its boats and acceptable in the dining room of the hotel, but refuses to RENT ROOMS to them. Possibly, the facts being here made known, other Jewish citizens may take interest in the matter. The Munson Line says to Jews "Our hotel is a little too good for you." A good many Jews, whose business is very extensive and valuable, might say to the Munson Line, "Our freight is too good for you." Something of that kind might bring the Munson Line gentlemen to their senses and make them take a little more seriously the Constitution of the United States and ordinary American decency, which oppose discrimination on religious grounds.—Chicago Evening American. The above editorial presents an interesting study as intimating a boycott or withdrawal of patronage as an effective weapon against discrimination. Think it over.—Editor. LOYALTY IS MOST IMPORTANT WORD Wins First Place in Lists of Six Supplied by Savants. Princeton.—That "loyalty" is the most important word in the English language today is the consensus of a representative group of Princeton professors, a noted Egyptologist and the university proctor here. The question was raised in a discussion in a preceptorial meeting, and to settle the discussion Prof. Christian Gauss, director of public relations, recently made inquiry among eight professors, Proctor Bovie and Dr. David Paton, the Egyptologist. President Hilben when asked for a list of six most important words in the language placed "loyalty" second only to "duty." Dean West of the Graduate college, foremost American educator, and Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, director of the department of physical education, both ranked "loyalty" first, an intellectual and a physical authority thus being at one in this choice. Three other men placed "loyalty" either first or second in their six word lists—Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, professor of English literature and rowing coach; David Paton, Egyptologist, and Proctor Henry Boyle. Courage Next to Loyalty. "Courage" followed "loyalty" with four selections. Here again Dean West and Doctor Raycroft were at one in their choice. Prof. Duane Reed Stuart of the classics department also chose this word as did Dr. Stewart Paton, brother of the Egyptologist and noted neurobiologist. Doctor Paton created quite a stir recently when he predicted that intercollegiate football must some day be abolished because of its commercialism, but he attributed great virtue to the game as a means of attaining sportsmanship and courage. Although his chief interest is in education, Dean West placed "knowledge" after "loyalty" and "magnanimity". Dr. Henry van Dyke, formerly professor of English literature at Princeton, chose common every day words such as "yes" and "no," "the" and "a". David Paton concluded his list with "a catholic sense of humor" without which he said any man is certain to take himself too seriously. The complete word lists chosen follow: Complete Lend President of charity loyalty, honor, & control, service, care Dean West, loyalty, magnanimity knowledge, energy, courage, humor. Dr. van Dyke, a. the, ls. is, yes. do, Prof. Edwin G. Conklin, head of the department of biology, sincerity, sanity, humanity, love, truth, beauty. Doctor Raycroft, loyalty, courage persistence, self-respect, sportsmanship, tolerance. Professor Stunt, sensitiveness, restraint, sportsmanship, courage, self-knowledge, altruism. Doctor Smeth, liberty, loyalty, sympathy, justice, intelligence, character. Dr. David Paton, loyalty (for friendship's sake), charity (for charity's sake), work (for work's sake), sport (for sport's sake), a catholic sense of humor. Dr. Stewart Paton, truth, courage perseverance, health, family, friends. Proctor Bovie, religion, loyalty, honesty, fairness, work, recreation.

Girl Dresses Doll in Lost Bonds Worth $40,000 Lost Bonds Worth $40,000 Chicago—Ellen Berry, eight years old, playing along the street near her home, discovered in the snow an envelope containing several papers with gold edges. "What have you there, Ellen?" asked her father, the next evening, as he noticed her marking out plans on the papers. "Just some pretty paper to make dresses for my dolls," she said as she held up one of the papers. Mr. Berry investigated and was struck speechless. The "pretty papers" were gold bonds, worth $40,000, all negotiable, with $800 interest coupons attached. Inquiry at the bank disclosed they had been lost by A. G. Becker, head of an investment company bearing his name, and he gave Eileen $100 wherewith to buy less expensive material for her doll dresses. Dog Bites Cost $70,000 Jersey City, N. J.—It cost Hudson county $70,000 to treat 900 persons who were bitten by dogs there last year, according to statements by Dr. John Von Der Leith, a veterinary surgeon, before the annual convention of the Veterinary Medical Association of New Jersey in Jersey City recently. Each person bitten had to undergo the Pasteur treatment, which costs the county $75. U. S. TO SELL RUGS ONCE OWNED BY CZAR Valued at $47,000 to Be Auctioned New York.—Persian rugs, valued at $47,000, will be sold at auction by the bureau of seizures of the customs department to cover unpaid duties and salvage charges. One story is that they were used as hangings in the palace of the late Czar Nicholas, although there is considerable mystery concerning where they came from and to whom they were consigned. One rug considered more valuable than the others is 54 by 79 inches and is said to be a perfect specimen of the weaver's art. Interwoven in the strands of luxuriant color is a remarkable likeness of the czar, seated on his throne, wearing his saber and full regalia as emperor of all the Russias. The belief that the rugs were used as hangings and not as floor coverings is strengthened by this fact, since it is pointed out that no royal Russian would have walked on a likeness of the czar. The rugs are in the usual Persian colors, muberry, red and blue, and are so fine they can be crumpled up almost as though they were silk. The rug bearing the woven image of the czar was appraised at $20,000 by the customs officials. The only identifying mark found on any of the rugs is on this one. In the corner under the czar's left boot, the initials W. A. B. and "Bagdad" together with some Oriental inscription. There is an interesting story in connection with the manner in which these works of art fell into the hands of the customs officers. Three years ago they were sent here aboard the shipping board vessel Massick, which sprung a leak on the way and was salvaged. The rugs were consigned to Peter Deppel and were sent by the bank of Deval, Russia. Shipping board officials after considerable difficulty found Deppel and informed him that he could have his consignment on payment of his share of the salvage charge plus the import tax, which altogether came to about $3,000. The rugs were valued at $44,000 by the shipper. Deppel refused to pay the charges and shortly afterward disappeared. Efforts to find him were fruitless and the rugs were removed from the custom house to the seizure room in the army base, Brooklyn. That was three years ago. Recently it was decided to sell the rugs at auction to recover at least some of the losses entailed by the shipping board and to collect the import tax. THE MONITOR GOOD LOOKING HAIR FOR EVERY MAN A.
