PUBLIC OFFICIAL FRANKLY ANSWERS FLORENCE FANATIC Misguided Creature Who Was Indicted As Mob Leader And Suspected Of Another Crime Seeks To Foment Strife WRITES OFFENSIVE LETTERS Harry Counsman, One Of Many To Receive These Imperitinent Communications, Promptly Sends Reply Unfortunately every community has a few ignorant and foolish people who are a menace to the community in which they live. Whoever strives to stir up strife against any class of citizens is an enemy against the commonwealth and should be treated accordingly. Omaha has at least one of these abnormal creatures who has been trying to spread his poison for several years and for whom the doors of the penitentiary have dangerously yawned more than once. He was indicted by the Grand Jury as a mobleader and escaped by a hung jury. The Monitor has hitherto ignored this contemptible creature as being beneath our notice and perhaps that were the better policy to pursue, even now were it not for the fact that he is becoming bolder year by year and the high-minded citizenry of Omaha should be advised of his presence—of which very few are aware—and of his methods which no sensible person will approve. It is for this reason that we give publicity to the following letter which is only one of many which he has sent to Court House officials, and another which is the reply of one of these officials who has replied. The letters speak for themselves. Individuals of the character of the writer of the first letter are a menace to any well-regulated or civilized community. The Creature's Letter (Florence) Omaha, Nebr., March 1st, 1924 County Court I understand you are trying to turn our COURT HOUSE into an Uncle Tom's cabin, by employing niggers in every Dept. I ask in what capacity does the nigger work in your Dept., and does it conflict with WHITE SUPREMACY? In my publication NETHAWAY'S CAUCASIAN the BLACK PERIL which will appear in the near future this data will be published, so have the nerve to say a word for yourself, while you still have the niggers vote if you are for them, I am for their disfranchisement to head off such acts for nigger votes, and this publication will come out flat footed for WHITE SUPREMACY. Yours for the Caucasian Race, (Signed) C. L. NETHAWAY Stamped Envelope Enclosed. Counsman's Reply Counsman's Reply Omaha, Nebr., March 31, 1924 Mr. C. L. Nethaway, 8013 N. 30th St., City. Dear Sir: In your letter dated March 1st, 1924, you challenge me to show my nerve and answer for myself what I think of data contained in your said letter of above date. To start with, Mr. Nethaway, the Bible says "God created man in his image" and I cannot conceive how a person can hold such a bitter hatred toward another, regardless of his color, as you have expressed yourself toward the Negro Race. As for myself, I am willing to tell you even if you desire to publish it, that you do employ a member of the Negro race in my office, an educated, refined and competent young man who has the same general recognition and salary as the other employees, also at times of the year I have occasion to employ another of that race for a limited time. Sir, for just what your purpose is in writing this letter to me, I do not know, but anyway you are going to get an honest answer, and it is this: I do not think or believe that the Negro is looking for, or even dreams of what you call Black Supremacy. He knows such a thing is not possible, but what he wants and needs most is to be let alone and given the chance to work out his own salvation and I believe it to be the Christian duty of you and me, and all of us to lend him a helping hand at any time we can assist him to that end. In conclusion will add, that the Negro employed in my department does not in any way conflict with what you term "White Supremacy." Respectfully yours, (Signed) H. G. Counsman. THE MONITOR DO HONOR TO HARRY BURLEIGH'S SERVICE (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y., April 4.—A signal honor to Harry T. Burleigh, for 30 years baritone soloist at the fashionable St. George church, white, will be paid this coming Sunday when an entire program, made up of Burleigh's own music will be sing. Some fifty songs have been written by Mr. Burleigh, besides two festival anthems and four compositions for the violin. He received much prominence a few years ago when he was called upon to sing at the funeral of the late J. Pierpont Morgan. He has also sung for the cultured of this and other lands. In 1917 Mr. Burleigh was awarded the Spingarn medal. He was born in 1866, grew up through hardships, and made the position of soloist at St. George after having been deck hand, stenographer, janitor, and so forth. Sixty applicants applied for the vacancy in the choir at St. George at the time he did. He was the only Negro, but he won. Tuesday is primary day. Lest we forget, we must remember to vote for S. E. Klaver, republican candidate for county assessor. Readers of The Monitor have no doubt learned by this time just who S. E. Klaver is. They have had time to investigate him. The Monitor does not have to check his record. Mr. Klaver is known to almost every colored voter in greater Omaha. They know his reputation and character is unblemished and when Klaver gives his word on anything it is as good as gold certificates, as one would say. That Klaver will receive the nomination is no question now. Even his strongest opponent will have to admit that he has a long hill to climb before nine next Tuesday night to defeat Klaver. "I want to say right here that I wish I could reach everyone of my friends to cast their vote for Klaver," said Dan Desdumes, Omaha's best bandmaster and president of Klaver Colored Club. "I know that Klaver stands for the same things our people stand for. He should get our vote. I will do everything within my power to get the vote out." This seems to be the sentiment not only among the colored people, but in every section of the city. "Klaver for county assessor is our slogan on primary day," said John Adams, attorney. We must let our people know who are our friends. S. E. Klaver has always been our friend and I do hope that the colored people will do their share, carry out that privilege given us and vote not only for Klaver but other good men." Klaver is a North Sider, owns property, pays taxes and was raised and educated in Omaha. Klaver knows what it means to pay high taxes. He has been doing it for years. Klaver is not running helter-skelter shouting "lower taxes, reduce taxes." Klaver is not on the house tops making extravagant or "wildcat" promises. But Klaver does pledge his solemn word that he will do his utmost to get a further reduction in taxes. That's his platform, that's why you should be for him, and vote for him. Klaver has been a deputy county assessor, for the last four years and during that time has made thousands of friends. Both John Smith and I. Bailey, officers of the Klaver Colored Club have been working in the interest of Mr. Klaver. When you go to the polls, be sure and watch that ballot, look for the name, "S. E. Klaver, county assessor" and vote for him: Remit for your paper now. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor What is the Matter With Christianity Today? There is Something Wrong About It? M. B. ADAM McMULLEN Republican Candidate for nomination for Governor (An address delivered by the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, D. D., pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, Washington, D. C., at the Seventh Annual Convocation of the School of Religion of Howard University, Washington, D. C. It was this address which so offended certain Southern Senators that they withheld the appropriation for Howard University. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Part II And the reason why such distinctions exist and why they continue to exist is because the church has persistently refused to render to Jesus the obedience which is His due. He speaks—speaks in His beautiful spirit, in His noble character and life, in the great principles and ideals set forth by Him; but the church will not hear, or rather, hears but will not obey. The evil within it overpowers the good. It listens, as Eve did, to the templet instead of to the voice of God. Only within this present month, just about two weeks ago, a thing occurred in this city which will help to throw some light upon the character of our present-day Christianity. A professor in this university, the dean of one of the colleges, a gentleman a scholar, a man worthy of the highest respect, a man fit to live in the choicest section of any city in the country, was waited upon by 500 of his white neighbors, men, and women, and told to get out of his own house, purchased with his own hard earnings. And why? Not because he was a criminal, a thief, a penitentiary convict, a bootleger; not because his moral character was such as to render his presence in the neighborhood undesirable—he is, in every respect, the peer, if not the superior of every man and woman in that crowd who waited on him—but he was ordered out simply because he happened to be identified with the colored race. The color of his skin was his only offense. ADAM M. Republican Candidate for PROTEST BIRMINGHAM STREET CAR SERVICE (By the Associated Negro Press.) Birmingham, Ala., April 4—The Colored Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance of Greater Birmingham has registered a protest with the city commission against what it described as treatment "almost inhuman and beyond endurance" on local street cars. The protest was referred to the commissioner of public utilities. NEW YORK IS THE CLEANEST BIG CITY (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York City, N. Y., April 4.—According to the report of a Committee of fourteen, New York is the cleanest city in the world so far as open vice is concerned. Evidence of the increase of secret commercialized vice is found, the committee reports. in the records of the women's courts. A plan is now on foot to attack this through a drive directed at its promoters. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1924 And strange to say, but it is not strange, the meeting where the resolutions were passed decreeing his expulsion was held in the United Brethren Church, a Christian organization. And we are further told, after formline, the 500 men and women as they marched to the residence of this colored gentleman sang: Onward, Christian soldiers, Imagine, if you can, the cross of Jesus going on before in pursuit of any such infamous undertaking as that. When this outrage on this highly respectable and law-abiding citizen was reported in the papers the next morning, did the entire Christian community, in the name of Jesus Christ and of common decency, rise up and solemnly denounce the outrage? No! No! Not a word of disapproval, or of condemnation was heard; nor has any been heard since. The fact that such a demonstration could take place in a so-called Christian community, and could take place without being condemned and the fact that those who fomented the agitation were permitted to meet and lay their plans in a Christian church show clearly the kind of Christianity that we are up against; how far, far removed it is from the spirit and teachings of Jesus Christ. So that if I am asked, what is the matter with the Christianity of today? My answer is, its lack of the spirit of Jesus Christ; its lack of obedience to the revealed will of God; its failure to recognize, except in part only, the kingship of Jesus Christ. A Christianity that is deficient, as present day Christianity is, in the spirit of obedience to Christ is a Christianity under which all kinds of evil may be expected to exist. Race prejudice and every other evil that is cursing the world to-day would speedily disappear if the men and women pro- MULLEN nomination for Governor OPPOSED TO RACIAL GROUPS (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y., April 4.—The Daughters of the American Revolution have passed a resolution vigorously condemning the move to place the Herkimer homestead under the control of the Steuben Society and the Daughters of the American Revolution, claiming that the Steuben Society is more interested in preserving German ideals in America than those of the Revolution, and decrying any effort to perpetuate in America the ideals of any racial group that does not find its best hope in Americanism. The Blue Triangle Girls met Wednesday, March 26, at the Y. W. C. A. All members were present, as there was a heart to heart talk between them and their advisor. Many interesting points of life were brought out by Miss Lucas. Mildred Turner, President. Dorcas Jones, Secretary. Theresa Liverpool, Reporter Klaver fessing to be Christians, some forty millions in this country alone, would honestly, without equivocation, without reservation, make up their minds to obey Jesus Christ, to be true to Christian ideals and principles. As long as we have a Christianity that is content with saying, "Lord, Lord," but do not the things which Jesus enjoins, conditions will continue as they are, the world will go on its way to the devil, and the church with it. The only hope for the world, as I see it, is in a better type of Christianity. And there will be no better type of Christianity until the spirit which says: "Not my will, but Thine be done." "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth," takes possession of it. We can not serve God and mammon; we can not serve God and the devil; we can not be true to God and to our prejudices. And that is the lesson which the church is so slow to learn John Wesley said: "If I had 300 men who feared nothing but God, hated nothing but sin, and were determined to know nothing among men but Jesus and Him crucified, I would set the world on fire." What could not the 40,000,000 of professing Christians in this country do in correcting evils that are everywhere about us, if they were what they profess to be; if they were loyal to the King in whose service they are supposed to be enlisted? The world will never be what it ought to be until there is brought to bear upon it a Christianity that sincerely, honestly aims, and as sincerely and honestly strives to bring every thought and every imagination into captivity to Jesus Christ as Lord. It must be a Christianity that knows nothing among men but Jesus Christ as prophet, as priest, as King. If His kingship doesn't enter into it; if He is not really the power that is ruling in it, it will be powerless to save a lost world; it will be no better than the present brand of Christianity. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 26th and Seward Strs. Russel Taylor, Pastor In gratitude to God our Church year which closed March 31, was from a spiritual standpoint the best in the brief history of the Church. There have been more additions than ever before, and those who came have been exceptionally regular in their attendance and participation in the worship of the Church. Financially we have not done so well largely because the work was deliberately crippled, but God will over-come those obstacles for those who are faithful. At a congregational meeting, Thursday night by unanimous vote Mr. H. J. Pinkett was removed from the Trustee Board and Mr. R. T. Carr was elected in his stead. Services, Sunday A. M.—"All Things Work. Together for Good to Them that Love God." Evening—"A Wide Open Invitation." Christian Endeavor Topic—"How Jesus Loved and Served." John 11:3-5; Mark 10:43-45. Monthly Consecration Meeting—Led by pastor. ERNEST HOGAN STARTED JAZZ (By the Associated Negro Press.) New York, N. Y., April 4.—m a dressing room interview given out by Fred Stone, singer and dancer now starring in "Stepping Stones," Ernest Hogan, Negro minstrel and song writer of several decades ago, is given credit for being the creator of modern jazz. Stone traces ragtime back to a song "The Pasmala," written by Hogan, the name of the song being a corruption of the French words meaning a mixed step. The white actor claims that ragtime music gave birth to a new school of dancers, the eccentrics. He first heard it played by a Negro in New Orleans and asserts that it had its premiere in New York in a big way through Ben Harney, a white man who took to the new music easily. THREATENED AS WITNESS IN WHITE MURDER CASE (By the Associated Negro Press.) Nashville, Tenn., April 4.—A note reading "Leave town at once, before April 10 of this year" has been received by Mrs. Myrtle Webster who is expected to be the star witness in the case of Frank Christman, white, charged with the murder of Fred Arnett. The letter was signed "X." Whole Number 456 HOPE OF PROGRESS IN YOUNG AMERICA (By the Associated Negro Press.) Akron, O., April 4—Faculty members of the West high school declared to William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, after an address at the school that he "got more applause than any man that ever spoke from the school platform." There are several thousand white students in the school. Negro students number thirty. Mr. Pickens told the whites that they did not know their colored mates as well as the latter knew them and that that was one of the chief reasons the colored students were more decent in their attitude toward the whites than the whites toward them; that the histories given white students left out facts about colored students' ancestors, and that the white students should not copy the prejudices of their mothers and fathers, but should form their own ideas and be broader. Basing his belief on the attitude of these and other students he has addressed throughout the country, Mr Pickens expressed the opinion that "there is hope in Young America." HOPKINS FOR COMMISSIONER One of the present city commissioners who has commended himself to the voters of Omaha by his efficiency and fairness in office is John Hopkins, at present head of the fire and building departments. Mr. Hopkins has maintained the wonderful standard of efficiency in his department which has made it possible for Omaha to boast of one of the finest fire departments in the entire country. A particular quality which has appealed to everyone who has come in contact with Mr. Hopkins has been his never failing courtesy. Individuals and delegations which have called upon him have remarked that at all times he is courteous and fair, and endeavors to give to the public the kind of service which they expect from their representatives in the city hall. The voters of Omaha who desire efficient, courteous service at the city hall, and the fair consideration of all of their problems, without distinction as to class, creed or color, will do well to retain John Hopkins as city commissioner. GOLDSTEIN-CHAPMAN CO. ADDS NEW DEPARTMENT "The Boys' Shop" opened several weeks ago and is the talk of Omaha for their wonderful display and convenience to shop at prices people like to pay. Mr. M. B. Rubin, formerly with the Bailey Company, Cleveland, Ohio, for fourteen years has charge and really knows the needs of the boy and can outfit him so as to "suit" him and the mother too. Personal and individual attention given at all times, regardless how small the purchase may be, is the service you get in the Boys Shop. "During the past several years I have visited Omaha and felt that Omaha was in need of an exclusive Boys Shop where the little fellows and big fellows can have real attention", said Mr. Rubin, "and in choosing Goldstein-Chapman's as my location I can serve that I can serve the people of Omaha very satisfactorily." Mr. Rubin spent several weeks in New York buying desirable merchandise and has a most complete stock to choose from. The Boys Clothes department is located on the second floor formerly the Benson-Thorne space which afford 100 per cent daylight. Home-life is the barometer of national conditions—the straw that shows the way the wind is blowing GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 40 NEWS GATHERING AGENCY·MAKING RAPID PROGRESS The Associated Negro Press Enters Its Sixth Year of Progressive Service For Racial Newspapers FIRST ORGANIZATION OF KIND Has Assembled Capable Staff Of Distinguished Writers Who Are Loyal To Cause Of Journalism (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., March 28.—With the releases of the Associated Negro Press following March 21, the service entered the sixth year of progressive effort for the racial newspapers of the country. Starting with a group of ten newspapers on an exchange basis, the work has developed to where more than 120 newspapers are served on a nominal cash membership basis. This arrangement is far from perfection, but indicates a most substantial growth of racial journalism. A number of daily newspapers, national organizations of both races and prominent individuals, receive A. N. P. releases in order to get world wide news of Colored peoples from the other viewpoint. The emblem of A. N. P. contains the watchwords of Progress, Loyalty, Truth. The standard of service maintained has adhered strictly to these watchwords, and by this measure a fine share of public confidence has been developed. The Associated Negro Press bears the distinction of being the first organization of its kind endeavoring to furnish current and general news to the newspapers. The organization has carefully refrained from turning itself into a group of "self-boosters." It has a staff of distinguished writers who are loyal to the cause of advanced journalism, and who for the most part are compensated for their untiring efforts by the satisfaction of work well done. the executive offices of the organization are 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago. These offices have a staff of seven people including Claude A. Barnett, Director; Nahum Daniel Brascher, editor-in-chief, Percival L. Prattis and Arthur W. Harris. Headquarters are maintained in New York and Washington, and other principal centers of the country. William Pickens of New York, is a contributing editor, J. A. Jackson, of the Billboard, New York, is Eastern Representative; other prominent members of the staff are: E. Ten Eyck, who writes on social and recreational subjects; Daniel W. Chase, Philadelphia; Robert P. Edwards, who has made a brilliant reputation in the weekly historical "Whatnot" column; J. M. Batchman, St. Louis; Arthur G. Banks, Boston; J. W. Leigh, New Orleans; Maj. A. H. Butler, Monrovia, Liberia and Joseph B. Bass, Los Angeles, Cal. The Associated Negro Press contemplates a number of new features for the ensuing year. The loyalty of the membership newspapers and their willingness to co-operate in every effort to serve the best interests of the people, have been among the chief inspirational privileges of the organization, according to its founders. SOCIALISTS CONDEMN KLAN (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill. March 28.—One of the active influences at work to offset the power of the Ku Klux Klan in the coming national political campaign will be the Socialist party if a resolution passed by the executive committee of the party expresses the true temper of the rank and file of the organization. The executive committee came to the conclusion that the klan fosters racial and religious hatred and that it is an upgrowth of the notorious Know Nothing and Ku Klux Klan] of reconstruction days, and further, "That, the workers have everything to lose and nothing to gain by supporting an organization that has already proven a source of untold bitterness, racial, religions and fractional strife among them." "Trade unions in many instances have become a hot bed of racial and religious heresy hunting," the resolution reads. "Workers who, because of the common ties of labor, should be united in the closest bond of brotherhood have become the most bitter enemies and are suspicious of each other because of racial and religious differences. The economic master class and a few promoters and organizers are the beneficiaries of such an organization as the klan."

THE PRIMARIES THE PRIMARIES will be held next Tuesday. As the Monitor has hitherto pointed out to our readers it is the duty of all citizens to take an active and intelligent part in political campaigns. It is their duty to inform themselves, as fully as they can, upon the issues before the community, and the character of the candidates seeking nomination and election. The primaries are very important indeed. For it is where the sifting out of the candidates is made. It is there where the voter expresses his preference for the candidates whom he believes will best serve the interests of all. We hope our people will realize the importance of their going to the polls Tuesday and voting according to their convictions. Be sure to vote Tuesday. FOR GOVERNOR THE MONITOR has not deemed it necessary to indicate a slate to the many readers who look to us for guidance. We have given information concerning some of the candidates which we believe will guide many voters. We have actively and are actively supporting only a few candidates. Among these stands first, our choice for governor, Adam McMullen, of Beatrice. We unqualifiedly endorse him, as being in our judgment, the very best man for the place. He is free from suspicion or being allied with or actively supported by organizations which are inimical to the safety and welfare of our country, and believing in him thoroughly as we do we urge our people to vote for him. Go to the polls Tuesday and nominate Adam McMullen. JUDGE STAUFFER LASTweek we called attention to the importance of electing men of ability and fair-mindedness to the District Bench. We stated that the present incumbents were men or this character and that among other aspirants are men of high character whom we believe will make good judges. We desire now to call attention to one incumbent of the bench against whom we believe an unjust charge has been made and that is Judge Carroll O. Stauffer. It is being circulated that Judge Stauffer is a Kluxie. This is based upon a brief newspaper report of an address delivered by him a few weeks ago before the Parent-Teachers Association in which he said that one of the chief tasks before the world is the maintenance of "White Culture". The address pointed out the antagonisms and forces, chiefly in the old world, and culminating in the world-war which are threatening "white civilization", as it is called and "white culture". He spoke the absolute truth, an any student of history and current events knows. To charge Judge Stauffer with being a Kluxie because of this address is pure nonsense. Place against this address the general character, reputation and attitude of the man. Litigants and lawyers in his court are unanimous in their opinion as to his absolute fairness. He is an army officer, with the rank of major, and as he said to The Monitor, "My oath as a judge and as an army officer in which I swear to uphold the law of the land is absolutely incompatible with membership in an organization of that kind and in face of my oath I could not be a member without self stultification." Those who know the Monitor know we have about as much time for a Kluxie, as the Devil has for holy N. W. WARE Candidate for Municipal Judge Subject to the primaries of April 8th SOLICITS YOUR VOTE water. If we believed that Judge Stauffer were a Kluxie we would oppose him. We do not believe he is and as he is accounted by those in position to known an able, fair and upright judge we believe he ought to be retained on the bench. CLEAN UP WEEK NEXT WEEK is to be clean-up week. Everybody in Omaha should get busy cleaning up their premises and beautifying their grounds. Let us all pull together and make Omaha one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Clean up. Paint up. Spruce up. FOR NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN WE believe that the best qualified man for the important position of National Committeeman is Charles A. McCloud of York. He is a man of broad experience and wide political influence and as such will be given recognition on the National Committee which it will be impossible for a less prominent man to secure. Elect McCloud. CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT ROBERT SMITH who has administered the affairs of his office as Clerk of the District Court with efficiency and marked ability is a candidate for renomination and election. His record is one to which he can point with pride. His office has been run without cost to the taxpayers, being made to pay its way. It is admittedly one of the best handled offices in Douglas county. Our people have representation in his clerical force. He is entitled to reelection. Vote for him. ADAM McMULLEN is the best man to nominate for Governor. CHARLES A. McCLOUD is the man for National Committeeman. ROBERT R. STREHLOW, candidate for Public Defender, introduced the Anti-klan bill in the last legislature. He is a member of the N. A. A. C. P. ISAAC KONECKY, candidate for City Commissioner, has always had the courage of his convictions, believes in a square deal to all and is well known among our people. He is a member of the N. A. A. C. P. THOMAS F. STROUD is remembered favorably by many of our citizens for his generosity following the tornado. He is a successful business man and a candidate for City Commissioner. ROBERT SMITH, as Clerk of the District Court, is entitled to renomination and election. KLAVER for County Assessor will make good on the job. WALTER R. JOHNSON in the Ninth and Fay H. Pollock in the Eighteenth, are types of progressive young Ex-Service men who are anxious to go to the State Legislature. F. L. BARNETT should have our united support. He is a candidate for the legislature from the Tenth District. N. W. WARE, candidate for Municipal Judge, should also receive our solid vote. GRANT S. MEARS, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is a good man for the job. CARROLL O. STAUFFER, candidate for renomination for District Judge, is a high class gentleman, who has fully demonstrated his fitness for the position. M. THE MONITOR A. B.

The Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor Monitor, My Dear Sir: I wish to personally thank you for the editorial expression contained in the last week's issue of your paper entitled, "The Judiciary." Coming at the time it did, a season of political agitation, I am frank to say that your message could not have possibly been more serviceable and opportun. It is, as it ought to be, that the office of judge is non-partisan. Because of the service they render society in deciding the legal issues between man and man, neighbor and neighbor, it must necessarily be non-political. Because it is non-political it forces upon those occupying the bench in times of campaign, the duty of being politically non-aggressive. In political times, therefore, the general public is not permitted to have such expressions from the lips of judicial aspirants as they have from those seeking other offices. Because of this condition, men occupying positions such as you and I do, must for the benefit of the general public become spokesmen, advocating the virtue and fitness of men who have to do with the legal side of our state and national life. It is in this respect that your editorial is most commendable. I wish to thank you also for the fine word you had to say for Judge Hastings. I know of no man more worthy. I believe that I can safely say that I have about as large and diversified practice as the average lawyer in the city and I am called upon to take sides against the biggest lawyers as well as the smallest; to represent Negro causes as well as causes from other races and I am therefore, in a position by virtue of experience to make you the following statement: For honesty, patience and willingness to give fair consideration to the causes of all races coming before the bar in this jurisdiction, I have never seen the present bench of Douglas County surpassed. I understand that Judge C. O. Stauffer, Judge Charles Goss, Judge L. B. Day and Judge James M. Fitzgerald will go before the people for re-election during this campaign. I wish to say that if either one of these men should be defeated, that our group would lose the service of men, whom I believe to be divinely called to the bench and before whom no meritorious Negro cause has or shall ever be abused. As an attorney, handling as I am a large volume of Negro business, for the sake of my work and those calling upon me to render them legal service, I am extremely interested in having these men succeed themselves, and am calling upon all voters to stand squarely behind me. Very truly yours, JOHN ADAMS. The supper given at Newman parsonage last Thursday night by the women's aid was very palatable and was well patronized. Rev. Geo.

STROUD For City Commissioner A City Commissioner should possess highly developed business ability, be a man with big business ideas, and be able to distinguish between details and worth while matters. The operations of a City Government are numerous and usually very vital. A good business man will not let petty details overshadow the real points at issue. A City Commissioner should know that he cannot perform his duties well unless he employs men under him who are experts in their lines. In brief, a good business manager will make a good City Commissioner. A City Commissioner must be a man of integrity. It is a well known fact that a spring cannot rise higher than its source and it is equally true that a Commissioner's department will not be any more efficient than the man at the head. If he believes and practices honest and faithful performance of duty, strict adherence to business principles, the men under him will follow his example or look for another job. Mr. T. F. Stroud possesses these character qualities. He has lived in Omaha most of his life, made a success of his Little Red Wagon Business, and retired a few years ago to become County Commissioner. Being an energetic man he desires to spend the riper years of his life serving the community which has given him a livelihood. We recommend Mr. Stroud for City Commissioner because we know he will devote his entire time and energy to the city and will do his utmost to substitute business principles for mere talk.—Dr. Frank Smith, Fred Crane, Lou Adams, C.
