A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM RACE PREIUDICE O GOD, who hast made man in Thine own likeness and who dost love all whom Thou hast made, suffer us not, because of difference in race, color or condition, to separate ourselves from others, and thereby from Thee; but teach as the unity of Thy family and the universality of Thy love. As Thy Son, our Savior, was born of an Hebrew mother and ministered first to His brethren of the House of Israel, but rejoiced in the faith of a Syro-Phoenician woman and of a Roman soldier, and suffered His cross to be carried by a man of Africa, teach us, also, while loving and serving our own, to enter into the communion of the whole human family; and forbid that, from pride of birth and hardness of heart, we should despise any for whom Christ died, or injure any in whom He lives. Amen. LIFTING LIFT TOO PROPERTY RIGHTS OF RACE AFFECTED BY CALIFORNIA LAW Restrictive Clauses In Deeds Alimed Chiefly at Japanese Found to Affect Negroes RESULTS IN MUCH LITIGATION Several Suits Filed To Test Validity of Restriction Against "Use and Occupancy" of Property Los Angeles, Cal., April 18.—The people of California are watching with unusual interest the outcome of one or two suits now pending involving the right of land owners to write in land deeds restricting in the courts of the state which the lease or sale to "Caucasian." And while it was originally intended, it is said, to affect the Japanese, yet the Negroes and all other races except the Caucasians are affected. This has precipitated a legal fight which promises to be far reaching in its final conclusion. Many years ago it was the fashion to say that "Land conveyed should never be leased, rented, sold or conveyed to any person not of the Caucasian race." In 1918, upon the advice of Attorney Willis O. Tyler, Homer L. Garrott bought a home with this restriction in the deed. Immediately a suit was filed by Title Guarantee and Trust Co., to forfeit the title and the case went to the Supreme Court, Attorney Tyler defending the rights of his client. A victory was won, the Supreme Court decided that restrictions against "lease or sale" to persons of the Negro race were void. Immediately thereafter the restriction was reformed and made to read: "Nor shall any person non-Caucasian use or occupy said premises." Thereafter Los Angeles Investment Co., a millionaire corporation, sued Alfred Cary, a Negro, because he was violating the restriction against "use and occupancy." When this case went to the Supreme Court, the decision in the Title Guarantee and Trust Co. v. Garrott (183 Pag. 470) was sustained as to the lease or sale, but the Court split the difference and held that the restriction against "use and occupancy" was good. In May of 1922, the Janns Investment Co., a millionaire corporation, sold a lot to J. H. Waldon, white man, and he in turn permitted Jesse Walling to use it. The contract contained a restriction against "use and occupancy" by a person non-Caucasian. Jesse Walling is a Negro. A suit was filed to forfeit the title because of the violation of the restriction, and Attorney Tyler represented both Waldon (white) and Walling (colored) upon adverse decision in the trial Court and appealed to the Supreme Court. As the case now stands the Supreme Court is called upon by the appeal to decide whether or not the restriction against "use and occupancy" is valid. Following upon the heels of Janns Investment Co., v Walden et al, H. Lettan sued W. H. Long to forfeit a title because of the restriction against "use and occupancy." Mr. Long, a staunch race man and a member of several fraternal orders, bought a five room residence at 1171 E. 41st street, and met the restriction face to face. The case is now pending in the Superior Court of this state. The case of Mr. Long is similar to the two other cases as they involve property rights of citizens, and it looks like a fight to the Supreme Court before justice is to be had. HEALTH FILMS SHOWN TO RACE IN NEW ORLEANS New Orleans, April 18—"The Message of Hope," a film shown at the Lyric theatre last week in the interest of "Negro Health Week," was witnessed by thousands of race men, women and children, according to an announcement by the Anti-Tuberculosis League. THE MONITOR $200 FOLKLORE PRIZE IS EQUALLY DIVIDED BETWEEN CONTESTANTS Prize Offered Annually by History and American Folklore Associations to Students At the Spring Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History held in Philadelphia on the 3rd and 4th of this month there was awarded the Folklore Prize offered by the Association in cooperation with the American Folklore Society. The Committee on Award found that the best two collections had equal merit. The prize money was, therefore, divided between these two, which were submitted by Miss Herlene M. Grier, a student of Hampton Institute, and the St. Helena Folklore Society of the Penn School, Frogmore, South Carolina. A prize of $200 is offered jointly by these societies for the best collection of tales, riddles, proverbs, sayings, and songs, which have been heard at home by Negro students of accredited schools. The aim is to study the Negro mind in relation to its environment at various periods in the history of the race and in different parts of the world. Students desiring to compete should give their names to the head of their institution that he may forward them to the Director of the Association, who will answer all necessary inquiries. Only stories, riddles and the like, that have been heard should be collected; stories or riddles from books or those composed by the collector should not be included. They will not be counted. In all cases the story, riddle or song should be written as heard in exactly the same language.* If they have been heard in dialect, then they should be written in dialect, if they have been heard in school English, then they should be written in school English. When possible, music should accompany songs. Also, when possible, the name and locality of the person from whom the song or tale was heard should be given. Collections should be sent to Dr. C. G. Woodson, at 1538 Ninth Street, Northwest, Washington, D. C., at any time before August 1, 1924. Collections may be sent in two or more parts, and competitors are advised to send the first part of their collection in the near future that they may have the opportunity of receiving suggestions about methods of continuing SCHLAIFER BUSY DOING HIS ROAD WORK AT RACE TRACK Now Weighs 154 and Intends to Make 147 for Dave Shade in Their Fight, April 25. Shade to Weigh 150 Theodore Roosevelt Post (colored) American Legion, announce that they have clinched contracts for a battle between Dave Shade of California and New York City and Morrie (Kid) Schlaifer of Omaha. The date was originally set for Monday the 21st, but Shade was signed for Warnie Smith at Cincinnati, so the 25th, Friday was set for the bout. A lot of squawking has emanated about the proposed match on the grounds that Shade was too good for the local lad, he beating Schlaifer twice. Another event which brought many squawls from the boys on the fight rialto was when Morrie's manager announced that his boy would appear as a middle in this fight. Morrie is a natural welter and if he were not too lazy to train, would make one of the best welters in the game today. However, the squawls and squawks have had their effect and Morrie is making 3 to 5 miles daily in road work at Ak-Sar-Ben Field, and has agreed to meet Shade as a welter, although the easterner will enter the ring at 150 pounds. Dandy preliminaries are promised and the cause is right, so a double reason presents itself for attending the card. Tickets are at popular prices and will go on sale tomorrow. What is the Matter With Christianity Today? There is Something Wrong About It? and completing their collection during the summer vacation. The Committee on Award consists of Dr. Elsie Clews Parsons, Assistant Editor of the Journal of American Folklore, Dr. Franz Boas, Professor of Anthropology in Columbia University and a member of the Executive Council of the Association, and Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Editor of the Journal of Negro History. The Committee reserves the right to dispose of the collections sent in or parts thereof for use in scientific publications, with the names of contributors. The Committee also reserves the right, in case in its judgment adequate collections of material are not sent in this year, to award part of the prize money only, the balance to be credited towards a prize fund for 1924. COLORED GIRL SECOND IN BEAUTY CONTEST (Lincoln News Service.) New York, April 18.—Dorothy Derrick, a colored girl of Flushing, Long Island, is one of the leaders in the beauty contest being conducted by the "Green Twigs", one of the city's oldest and most exclusive organizations, to determine the most beautiful girl in town. At the opening of the center the young colored girl, who is a former Flushing high school pupil, took a position with the leaders, and yesterday she was in second place in competition with daughters of some of Flushing's leading families. U. S. SENATORS STUDY D. C RENT CONDITIONS (Wreston News Service) Washington, D. C., April 18—The housing situation in Washington as revealed by a survey made for the District Senate Committee, was considered by them last Thursday afternoon. The survey was made primarily for the purpose of having first hand knowledge on conditions in an effort to extend the life to the District Rent Commission, which is due to expire May 1st, under the existing law. The movement is sponsored by Senator Robinson of Arkansas. William Murphy has been detained at home this week by illness. (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.) If that is pessimism, then the more of it we have the better, the sooner there will be change for the better. If to call present-day Christianity to an account for its lack of the spirit of Christ, in its shameful attitude on the race question, is to be a pessimist, then let us hope that there may be pessimists springing up all over theland and in all of the churches. That is the kind of pessimism that is needed, the kind of pessimism that has back of all the moral and religious reforms that have taken place in the world. In spite of what may be said, in spite of being called pessimists, there is nothing for us to do to go on upbraiding the church with its inconsistency, its unbrotherly, un-Christian spirit, until its actions conform with its professed ideals and principles. Those are my sentiments. There is THE NEED OF TRAINED NEGROES IN INDUSTRY Today as never before the Negro needs industrial leadership. The European industrial worker is not of the type which formerly came to America. This being true someone must take his place. The source of supply may be found in the American Negro. But must he be merely a substitute for the poorly equipped South European? Must he be drafted into industry only in so far as his limited powers will allow him to go, or will he through intelligent preparation become so dependable that his advancement will be limited only by the needs of industry itself? Not only must the Negro have definite training, but he also needs the driving force of organization. Thru lack of co-operation much ability is wasted. It frequently happens that those who could be most helpful refuse to combine with others, with the result that the entire Negro community suffers. This is particularly true of mechanics. INTERRACIAL HEAD PASSES TO REWARD AT SOUTHERN HOME In Death of John J. Eagan, Good Will Movement Loses Great Leader Who Labored Faithfully in Great Cause WILLS EMPLOYEES BUSINESS Hundreds of Colored Operatives Given Share in Management and Profits of Great Industrial Atlanta, Ga., April 18.—In the death of John J. Eagan, of this city, which took place on March 30, the causes of interracial good will and economic justice lost a true and powerful friend—one whose life was devoted almost wholly to these ideals. In 1919 Mr. Eagan helped to organize the Commission on Interracial Cooperation and was its chairman until his death. When the Federal Council of Churches set up a similar commission, he was called upon* to head that as well. He was also the moving spirit in the local interracial committee of Atlanta. To these organizations he devoted a great deal of time, and none of his altruistic interests was nearer to his heart. Mr. Eagan was deeply interested also in the problem of Christianizing industry, and was a pioneer in this field. As the principal owner and manager of a great manufacturing enterprise in Birmingham, he introduced profit sharing on an extensive scale and employee representation in management. In one year profits amounting to $200,000, which would ordinarily have gone to the stockholders, were distributed to the employees, over and above their regular wages. Shortly after the war, when so many enterprises were closing down or cutting wages, Mr. Eagan refused to do either, saying that the welfare of the workers was his chief concern. He put into effect also many other projects for their benefit such as recreation facilities, pensions, etc. where I expect to stand until there is a change for the better. A word now, in closing, by way of application. What can we do to help bring about such a Christianity? We may not be able to do very much, but one thing we can all do, we can enthrone Jesus Christ in our own hearts; we can make up our minds to be true to him and to his principles and ideals, never mind how unpopular it may be or how unpleasant it may be made for us. We can not hope to do much toward improving the Christianity of today if we are cowards, if we are afraid to stand up for what we believe to be right, to be in harmony with the teachings of Jesus Christ. We want men, must have them, not only of convictions but men of courage who will stand up and be counted in the struggle between what is Christian and what is not. "Truth forever on the scaffold." Yet that scarifold sways the future, And behind the dim unknown Standeth God within the shadow Keeping watch above his own." So wrote James Russell Lowell during the great anti-slavery struggle in this country. (And in the effort that must be made to rescue the Christianity of today from the spirit, the unbrotherly, un-Christian spirit that now has possession of it, if our raft is weak and if we are not willing to go to the scaffold if need be, not will. The Negro must begin to think in terms of co-ordination and co-operation. In twenty-five years, if he is wise, he will be the great mainstay of productive wealth in this country. He has the power to transform this tremendous opportunity into personal advantage through organization. This is not necessary in the North alone; it is particularly necessary in the South—Southern Workman. SPINGARN MEDAL IS URGED FOR WOODSON Washington, D. C., April 18.—Friends of Doctor Carter G. Woodson are urging his name as the next Spingarm medalist. Dr. Woodson is editor of the Journal of Negro History, and through his recent books, "The Negro In Our History," "History of the Negro Church," "A Century of Negro Migration," and "Education of Negro Prior to 1861," has won an international reputation. At one time he was professor of history at Howard University and later resigned to give all of his time to research work. Mr. Eagan's will, which has just been made public, is the supreme evidence of his sincerity, and is almost without precedent. It leaves all his stock in the Birmingham concern, amounting to about $100,000, to be held by the management in perpetual trust for the employees, and provides that all the profits shall go to them. His purpose in this arrangement, as expressed in the will, is "to insure service both to the purchasing public and to labor on the basis of the Golden Rule." It is especially significant that in all the benefits of Mr. Eagan's welfare plans while living and also in the provisions of his will, the several hundred colored employees of the concern participate fully and on equal terms. In the light of the above facts it is not surprising that the death of this great man is mourned equally by both races. His funeral was attended by a number of representative colored leaders, and both races will participate in a memorial service soon to be held. BOSTON BEACONS By Arthur G. Banks (For the Associated Negro Press) White elevator operators of Boston have formed a union under the A. F. of L. from which colored operators are excluded. John D. Gainey, colored, of the First Assistant Postmaster General's office, visited Boston during the week to look into conditions among the colored employees, particularly as regards opportunities for promotion. An organization meeting of the Ku Klux Klan was held in Lynn, Mass., Sunday, March 23rd. A colored officer was among the patrolmen on duty at the outside of the hall. In the 16th Annual High School Track Meet of the Boston High Schools, colored boys won all three places in the broad jump, calling to mind the like performance of Hubard, Gourdin and Butler in the National Championships. Paul E. Pieris, a native of Ceylon and a graduate of Cambridge University, England, now a graduate of Harvard, is considered one of Harvard's best boxers, in the 135 pound class. ing to suffer, we won't be of much service. Very little can be expected in this great moral and religious crusade that must be waged from the timorous, the half hearted, the cowardly). Within the next few years, much, very much, will depend upon whether we are to have a better type of Christianity, a Christianity that will ring true every time and everywhere to the principles of Jesus Christ, or whether we are to have the same old, narrow, prejudiced, unbrotherly Christianity that we have today. Let us hope that a change for the better will come, and come speedily; and let us, one and all, make up our minds to do all that we can to hasten it. I clipped from one of our magazines some time ago the following lines, entitled "Our Fellowship", "Not dependent on identity of those "Not dependent on identity of theological opinion, Nor on outward circumstances, nor of denominational name; But growing from a common loyalty to Jesus Christ. A common passion to serve the world, A common purpose to do justly, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with God." That, it seems to me, furnishes a most excellent program for improving the type of our present-day Christi- nity. It is for us all to catch the spirit of it and to live under its great and inspiring influence. BASEBALL, TRACK AND FOOTBALL MEN REPORT (Preston News Service) Wilberforce, O., April 18.—Wilberforce Baseball candidates reported for spring training and practice last week with a squad of forty men, while more than thirty turned out for the spring football practice. The track team has been entered in the Ohio relays at Columbus on April 19, and a strong team, composed of Captain Sedwick and Willette as the backbone, will attempt to cop the state title. RACE LAD LEADS CLASS AT WILLIAMS COLLEGE Williamstown, Mass., April 18—Allison Davis, of Washington, D. C., is the valedictorian of the class of 1924, from Williams College, Williamstown, Mass. Mr. Davis was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his junior year, and will graduate summa cum laude. He is an alumnus of Dunbar High School, 1920, and a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Whole Number 458 EARLY REGISTRATION URGED FOR JUNE N. A. A. C. P. CONFERENCE New York, April 18. — Delegates and visitors to the 15th Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to be held in Philadelphia are urged to write at once to N. A. A. C. P. Headquarters, in order that housing arrangements may be made for them and reduced fares obtained from the railway companies. Information about the Conference may be had from Walter White, Assistant Secretary, N. A. A. C. P., at 69 Fifth avenue. Mr. White said recently it was hoped to make the sessions of the Conference representative of the entire country. Mr. White urged all who intend to come to Philadelphia for the Conference to organize their local delegations and write to him at once so that reception arrangements could be completed in Philadelphia and plans matured for the Conference Day's outing on June 28th in Atlantic City, "The Playground of the Nation." The Conference will open on Wednesday, June 25th and continue through Tuesday, July 1st. DR. DU BOIS HONORED AT DINNER GIVEN BY WELL- KNOWN NEW YORKERS New York, April 18.—Some hundreds of prominent New Yorkers gave a dinner on Sunday night, April 13, in honor of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Editor of The Crisis, who has just returned from the Pan-African Congress and Africa. Among those participating in the tribute of the N. A. A. C. P. leader were: Zona Gale, the novelist; Professor Franz Boas of Columbia University; H. L. Mencken, Editor of The American Mercury; Col. Arthur Little; Heywood Broun, of the New York World; Robert C. Benchley, Editor of "Life"; the playwright, Eugene O'Neill; Senator James J. Walker of New York; and George R. Lunn, Lieutenant Governor of New York State. J. E. Spingarn, Treasurer of the N. A. A. C. P., presided at the winner, which was held in the Cafe Savarin. LEDGER THOUGHT BANKRUPT Indianapolis, Ind., April 18.—Indianapolis Ledger, under fire by local press for its alleged supporting of Ku Klux Klan candidates, is now in the hands of a white receiver. OMANA WESTERNS GET OFF TO GOOD START AT ST.JOE Seasons Opened at St. Joe Wednesday. The Omahans Drop First Game 7 to 6 and Win Second Contest 6 to 1 The regular Western League season was opened Wednesday with Omaha playing at St. Joseph, before a record crowd of 6,500 in a new park, said to be one of the best baseball plants in the circuit. The first contest was a pitcher's battle between Harry Lee, the diminutive hurler for the Buffalooes and Haid for St. Joseph, with the Missouri boys getting the long end of the count, 7 to 6. But not by way of alibis, what could be more appropriate than the Josies winning their first game at home and in their new park before such a record crowd. But on the second day comes forth Barney's boys wearing their warring garments and set for a battle to win. They did and according to "Wag" of the Bee who was present at the game, it was some game, especially until the 8th inning with Birkenstock, the Josie flinger cracked and Art Griggs chased the Omaha team around the sack for six runs. Bailey, also called Bill, the southpaw, pitched superb ball for the Omaha team and we copped the game 6 to 1. First game on the home lot will be uncorked on the 29th of April with Wichita as the visitors. A monster crowd will see the game and Mayor Jim will probably declare it an afternoon holiday here. Our people should plan accordingly for that day. Burch wants you there and has gathered a real representative team for Omaha to make it pleasant for the fans. A lot of remodeling and decorating has been done this spring to the park and stands, and Rhiny Mohr already has his hot dogs getting hotter and his peanuts roasted, and that spells the perfect day, and Omaha intends to win. ASST. STATE'S ATTORNEY Columbus, O., April 18.—Wilbur El King has been reappointed assistant prosecuting attorney of Franklin County. He has served under both Republicans and Democrats for the last 14 years. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 42 ADVOCATES BUREAU FOR LEGISLATIVE INTERESTS OF RACE National Race Congress of America Would Provide Permanent Effective Agency at Washington NATIONAL BUREAU IS NEEDED Several Measures Now Pending In Congress In Which Negroes Are So Vitally Interested Washington, April 18.—If the National Race Congress of America, which convenes in this city on April 29, is successful in carrying out that part of its program which provides for the permanent establishment in Washington of an Executive Bureau to look after the legislative interests of our group, it shall have established one of the most useful and helpful agencies that has yet been organized by our thoughtful men and women. The necessity of having such an agency has long been apparent and has been particularly emphasized within recent years and months, when legislative affairs vital to our welfare as citizens have been up for consideration in Congress. But to properly function there should be placed at the head of this Executive Bureau an intelligent man with a broad vision—one who is familiar with the needs of the race; who knows how to meet and meet men of affairs; who knows legislative procedure; who knows the political game, but who is not a camp follower, a partisan cymbal-beater, or a trimmer. He should receive a lucrative salary, have a centrally located and well equipped business office, that would not appeal as a loafing place to political highwaymen, briefed lawyers, humorous gentlemen, pious preachers, plausible scoundrels, or pretty maldens, and he should have sufficient clerical help to permit him to devote his entire time and attention to the supervisory work incident to the responsible position of looking after the legislative interests of twelve million unorganized people. The National Race Congress of America should be incorporated and an ample budget should be provided thru the flotation of a reasonable amount of stock at a popular price, so that the major part of the supervising official's time would not be spent in seeking finance with which to carry on his work. Having perfected some such an arrangement, and having a directorate composed of intelligent men of influence in the different states, there is every reason to believe that the Executive Bureau would successfully function. At the present time there are before Congress several measures that vitally affect our group, and upon which we had no bearing, because of our inability to realize the importance of an organized effort. Although we have nearly one million farmers operating farm property valued in excess of two billion dollars, not a colored farmer nor colored farmers' organization has asked to be heard on the subject of rural credits, notwithstanding the fact that in many sections of the country local conditions are such as to deny their participation in the full benefits of this Congressional Act. In the matter of teh Educational Bill, which seeks to wipe out illiteracy through governmental aid to the educational systems of the various states, our side has not been presented, although democratic statesmen are bitterly opposing the measures because of the benefits it will bestow upon the several million colored children of school age in certain sections of the country. Nor have we been heard on the Immigration Bill, which means so much to the permanency of our employment industry and to the upbuilding of our economic status. Unless the National Race Congress of America or our very effective N. A. A. C. P., which has rendered such signal service to the race and country in its advocacy of the passage of the Dyer Antilynching Bill, establishes a permanent bureau at the nation's capital, for the purpose of handling all such important matters, our progress will necessarily be retarded.

EASTER EASTER, the queen of Christian festivals, has come again. It brings joy and gladness to the hearts of men, for it proclaims a truth which answers the questionings of the human heart. For ages men sought answer to the question, "If a man die shall he live again?" There was that within them which made them cherish the hope, if not the belief, that death was not the end of all. There were high aspirations for which life's brief span seemed wholly inadequate and emotions of the heart, too sweet and sacred, to be satisfied with less than immortality. There were forshadowings in the souls of men of life beyond the tomb. Then there entered One within the realm of men, whose life proclaimed Him to be divine. He lived a perfect sinless human life. He lived for the love He bore for men, the death of a malefactor upon a cross, the symbol of shame and ignominy, upon a hill called Calvary. Before His death He confidently affirmed that upon the third day He would rise again. A guard of Roman soldiers was set to guard His tomb lest his disciples should steal His body and proclaim that He had risen. The Roman guard was all in vain. True to His promise on the third day He rose triumphant from the grave, having burst the bonds of death, and brought the answer for which the ages had been waiting. This fact the of the Resurrection is the chief credential of the deity of Christ, Who brought life and immortality to light. And so Easter brings a holy joy to all mankind. May the fullest joy of Eastertide, with all its sacred meaning, be theirs who read this message. Nebras Chapter Thirteen Enacted in 1898. Sec. 1.

OMAHA BEAUTIFUL WE ARE quite sure that all our people will enter fully into the plan to make Omaha a clean, healthful and beautiful city. As a rule our many home owners take special pride in keeping their houses and premises clean and attractive. Many of these homes are genuine show places. For home owners there is the incentive for beautifying their homes that is lacking in the average tenant. Much of the rental property occupied by our citizens is poorly kept up by the owners, who in many cases charge exorbitant rent for unsightly shacks. Occupants of such places have little encouragement to try to beautify the premises. Landlords should be compelled to repair and paint houses of this character. The city authorities should see that this is done. This is an important thing to be considered in making Omaha a more beautiful city. All tenants should see to it that the premises are kept clean and made as attractive with flowers and well-kept gardens as possible. Let us all work together to make Omaha a more beautiful city. JAPANESE EXCLUSION AMERICAN lawmakers are again showing their stupidity by the Japanese exclusion act, which is most drastic in its provisions. The Japanese are a cultured and thrifty people, and as such can become a valuable asset to this country. Their cultivation of the land in California shows what they can do as agriculturists. They have quietly attended to their own business. They are lawabundant and self-respecting and lots of Americans could profit by following their example. The drastic Japanese exclusion act is a foolhardy piece of legislation for which the United States may some day be sorry. HAS GOOD POINT WE publish elsewhere in this issue a clever bit of sarcastic writing under the caption, "The White Race Is Not Inferior." The writer has parodied a recent magazine article dealing with the Negro race after the same style. It has a good point. A DISTINCT LOSS THE South and those interested in inter-racial good will have suffered a distinct loss in the death of John J. Eagan of Atlanta, March 30. Not only has the interracial movement lost a warm friend but labor also, for industrial reform found in him a champion and advocate. His sympathies were broad and his interest in humanity keen. He recognized the need of bringing both races together in conference that there might be mutual understanding and cooperation in working out social and economic problems in which all are concerned. He has rendered a distinct service to humanity and his place will be difficult to fill. One of the encouraging signs of the times is the fact that men like John J. Eagan have Lbeen raised up to promote interracial amity and goodwill. May his mantle fall upon a worthy successor. WHITE RACE IS NOT INFERIOR; HAS MANY GOOD POINTS By George S. Schuyler In February Messenger Magazine. "Many of the leading thinkers of the nation view with alarm 'the growing prejudice against Caucasians. No intelligent Negro should fall victim to this dastardly form of race prejudice, based wholly on a certain group's lack of pigmentation. Contrary to all the pernicious propaganda circulated by black supremacy advocates, the Negro is in no way superior to the Caucasian. In any consideration of these uncolored people it should be kept in mind that they are in this country through no fault of their own . . . With only about 3,000 years' contact with any kind of civilization, they have done fairly well. "Because the great civilizations of our ancestors flourished in Africa while the white people were living little better than the animals whose pelts they sought for covering is no reason for our looking down on them. Many of our African tribes are almost as savage as the inhabitants of England whom Julius Caesar took back to Rome as curios. "While the Caucasians have originated nothing, they have shown great ability to adopt, adapt and so become adept. They took over bodily our Egyptian pantheism and made a pretty fair religion out of it. The system of notation and the fundamentals of mechanics which our ancestors worked out 10,000 years ago have enabled the Caucasians to construct the marvels of engineering we see all about us. "They have almost equalled the pyramids, obelisks and magnificent tombs erected by Jewish labor under our supervision long centuries ago. History shows that the Greeks very skillfully copied and improved upon the civilization of the darker peoples whom they displaced. We must be big enough to give credit where it is due . . . "Many critical Negroes point to the Caucasian's excessive gullibility and superstition as a further evidence of his inferiority. While no one can successfully deny the white people's widespread belief in witches, ghosts, democracy, banshees, devils and angels, not to mention the quackery of Mary Baker Eddy, Coue, Bryan, Billy Sunday, John S. Summer, Emperor Simmons, Gregory Zinoveff and the Mormons—we Negroes are not entirely guiltless. Many of our weaker-minded brethren voraciously devour the twaddle of Marcus Garvey, Black Herman, Ben Davis, Dr.' Harrison and other mountebanks, with equal avidity. "Other Caucasianophobes make much of our ability to live and thrive in any climate, while the white people can barely struggle along in the temperate zone. In summer, it is said, they are worried by sunburn and in winter by frostbite. However, sweeping generalizations are seldom true. Occasionally one can find a white man in the tropics who can stand the heat as well as a Negro. And in Alaska, Canada and the Dakotas the Negro in- THE MONITOR habitant often complains almost as much as his 'Nordic' brother about the severe winters. I would call these prejudiced people's attention to the fact that Mat Henson had a Caucasian —Peary— with him when he discovered the North Pole! BOOK CHAT Chairman, Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "THERE IS CONFUSION"—By Jessie Redmon Faust. Published by Messrs. Boni & Liveright. 61 West 48th Street, New York City. Price $2.00. Postage 10c. In this story of colored people and their cultural life, Peter Bye, the hero charming, able, but sometimes irresponsible, learns at the last that he has white blood in his veins. His great-grandfather was a mulatto. Turning to his wife he says: "See dear, this is the result of all I used to be. My ingratiation, my inability to adopt responsibility, my very irresoluteness come from that strain of white Bye blood." When one remembers the number of white men in fiction who, on learning that they have a strain of colored blood in their veins, turn brutes and rapists, one can see the pleasure that Miss Fauset had in penning those tines. But this should not be quoted as typical of the book. Its satire is very occasional, perhaps unconscious. It is a story written by a colored woman of distinction detailing the life of a group of young people, the most of them born into the most cultured circle of the colored world. It takes them from their childhood into their married life, and details the many adventures and vicissitudes that befall them on their way. This attempt, however, to tell of so many people is the most serious criticism of the book. There are three good stories in it, that of Joanna and Peter, the hero and heroine, told with some detail; that of Maggie Ellerley, the best, drawn of the characters, a climber who want to be well established socially more than anything else in life; and that of Vera, the white colored girl and her dark lover. We only get glimpses of them, and the great moments of their lives are hurried over to get on with the story. But we do glimpse them, and for the first time since Chessnut's stories, move freely through the colored world. I cannot imagine any colored person who knows the world Miss Fauset depicts who can fail: to get and read this book. Peter, Phillip, Henderson, Joanna, Maggie, Vera, here are different types but all virile young people. Race prejudice touches them all. Not in dramatic ways, in lynchings or suicides, but in finer, more subtitle fashion. With Peter Bye it acts first as a soporific, but later as a spur. He is asked patronizingly to meet one of the "white Byes" whose people once held his family as slaves; and stirred at the insult: he goes back to his difficult task as medical student. Joanna, consummate prig, it softens a little. It has an unlovely way of fostering selfconsciousness. For a white reader, the social stratifications described in the colored world will be of great interest. Here is as much snobbery as one finds among the "first families of Virginia" as depicted by Thomas Nelson Page. "I can't endure this utter separation from people who mean something," Maggie Ellersley cries, telling her reluctant lover that his name would give her entrance into the best families in Philadelphia. And do the best families hanker in their turn for association with the whites? They want so to succeed that the white race will HAVE to recognize them. The world must know their talent and genius. Is this colored world that Miss Fauset draws quite true? I know too little to criticise and yet I miss a big spiritual force that I have myself seen throbbing there. What do you think who read the book? I want my readers to tell how true they think this picture of the young men and women in the colored world. Write and give me your opinion.

Ware, one of our group, to fill a vacancy in municipal court at Omaha, caused by the death of Judge Wappich. Mr. Bryan informed the committee that he was obliged to go by the vote of the people, and as George B.

Safety razors, indelible ink and possibly ultrate of silver are discussed to mark voters and prevent repeating. In previous elections each voter was required to stick his finger in a pot of indelible ink. This year not only will each voter be required to be marked but an election official will shave him. The question of where the voter will be shaved is still under discussion some advocating shaving the back of the hand while others favor shaving a patch of hair from the head back of the right ear.

Legal adoption papers have already been filed, and "Dad" Morgan and his adopted daughter are happy in their little apartment in New York. London.—A new use for English country mansions, which rapidly are becoming a drug on the real estate market, due to the inability of present-day owners to find means to keep up these homes in style, is forecast by an experiment being tried in out Rolleston Hall, the fine baronial mansion near Burton-on-Trent. A syndicate which has purchased the former consists mostly of old families, and as Rolleston is situated in the heart of the Meynell hunting country, plans are being made to convert the hall into six separate houses. The partitioning, which is unprecedented in the case of such a palatial mansion, will be carried out vertically and not horizontally, resulting in re-construction into houses and not flatts. Widow Gets $10,500 Freehold, N. J.—A judgment of $10,500 against the Consolidated Gas company of New Jersey for the death by electrocution of her husband, Stanley Johnson, was awarded to Mrs. Agnes Johnson of West Long Branch by a jury before Circuit Judge Daly recently. Mr. Johnson was killed July 28 last by a live wire which had been blown down in a storm. The court action was uncontested. Skycraper Flivver Park San Francisco.—To assist in handling the traffic problem in San Francisco a 12-story structure, to serve as a parking building, is to be erected in the downtown business section of the city, accommodating 5,000 automobiles, according to plans announced here. AFRICAN GAME HERE New York, April 18.-Kboo, the game played with 48 seed and 12 cups by native African tribes for thousands of years, has been introduced here and may supplant Mah Jong in popular affection. The outfit is simple and Kboo is said to be the only game in which chance is totally eliminated. OLDEST FRATERNITY IS GRANTED CHARTER Ten Presidents Have Been Enrolled by It. New York.—In announcing the plan to celebrate fittingly the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of its founding, Phi Beta Kappa, the college honor society, announces that ten presidents of the United States, beginning with John Quincy Adams, were members of the organization. The society has just been granted a charter from the New York state board of regents, more than 147 years after a group of men founded it in Revolutionary days. "Phi Beta Kappa is the oldest of the Greekletter college societies or fraternities, and is in fact the progenitor of the entire college fraternity system," says a statement recently made public. "It was organized December 5, 1776, when the first meeting was held at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Va. A few college societies are older than Phi Beta Kappa, among them 'Whig' and 'Cho' at Princeton, but none of them sought to expand by the organization of similar societies in other colleges. Phi Beta Kappa began to think of reaching out when it was but little over two years old, and at the celebration of its third anniversary it granted a charter for a branch at Harvard, and four days later another for a branch at Yale. Closed by British Army. Closed by British Army. "Just two years later—in January, 1781—the coming of the British army closed the college and also the society's activities at William and Mary; not, however, until the members had sealed up their records, which conclude with the assertion of a 'sure and certain hope that the fraternity will one day rise to life everlasting and glory immortal." "Many of the early members became men of distinction, as legislators, diplomats and judges, two becoming United States senators and two judges of the Supreme court—Bushrod Washington, a nephew of President Marshall, who was chief justice for nearly thirty-five years. "The branches at Yale and Harvard soon came to occupy important positions in these colleges. A marked feature of their activities was their anniversary gatherings, usually held during the college commencements. These attracted wide attention by reason of the distinguished audiences that attended and the prominent men who delivered orations. "In June, 1824, General Lafayette attended the anniversary at Harvard and listened to an oration by Edward Everett, afterwards president of Harvard and later the orator at Gettysburg when President Lincoln delivered his famous address. Has Ninety-Nine Chapters. "From those early days Phi Beta Kappa has grown until there are now 99 branches or chapters, as they are called, in as many of the leading colleges and universities of the land. Nearly fifty years ago women began to be admitted to membership. They could be accorded this privilege because Phi Beta Kappa had come to be recognized as an honorary society, admitting only the highest grade students from the graduating classes. "Its members continue to occupy positions of prominence in every walk of life. Ten of them have been presidents of the United States, beginning with John Quincy Adams and including Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge. Forty-four per cent of all men and women honored by tablets in the Hall of Fame at New York university are members of Phi Beta Kappa. Many religious, political and social leaders are members, and also a great company of authors, educators and distinguished scientists. "The esteem in which membership is held is evidenced by the fact that in 1917 Honorable Arthur J. Balfour and 12 graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, who were members of the British commission sent to arrange for the participation of the United States in the World war, gladly accepted membership. All four of the delegates selected by President Harding to represent the United States in the international conference for the limitation of armament were members of Phi Beta Kappa. To Celebrate December 5, 1928. "Being the oldest college society in the United States and having had such a distinguished career, membership is counted a great honor and many colleges are eager to secure charters. Chapters are now found in every section of the United States. "Plans are now forming to celebrate the one hundred fiftieth anniversary, which will occur December 5, 1926, in an especially worthy manner. A fund is being collected to build a memorial building at the College of William and Mary, and to provide an endowment to enlarge the society's activities in stimulating scholarly ideals and efforts. It is expected that the new catalogue will be of great assistance in the conduct of the canvass. From it we learn that there are 50 members in Central and South America, 50 in Africa, 265 in Europe and 475 in Asia. "The president of the society is Dr. Charles F. Thwing, for 30 years president of Western Reserve university, Cleveland, O. Among the members of the senate are five college presidents, including President Hibben of Princeton and President Lowell of Harvard; Albert Shaw, the editor of the Review of Reviews; John H. Darley of the New York Times; Darwin P. Kinglesley president of the New York Life insurance company; John D. Rockefeller Jr., and the secretary of state, Charles E. Hughes." Thought for the Day. It is just as much an injustice to allow another to do you a wrong as it is to do another a wrong. Earth Is Smaller Than Neptune.

OLD SUPERSTITIONS ARE STILL PRACTICED Potency of Ring, Glove, Pin and the Old Shoe. Richmond. Vn. "The life banishment from Princess Anne county, Va. of Annie Rogers because she was said to have killed the mules of her enemies with a magic wand illustrates the same fetishistic spirit which causes many people the world over to endow commonplace objects with amuletic powers. Seventy-year-old Annie's wand was a cane which she used to support her aged body. The negro folk of Princess Anne county, however, believed it to be the staff of a sorceress. Hence the cane now keeps company with other favorite charms which, like gloves, stockings, shoes and even pins, many age-old superstitions and traditions have enshrouded with mystery. The ring, for instance, has always been an occult token. An emerald ring, the superstitious still believe, endows its wearer with pure thoughts. Should the same ring be broken, however, it becomes a harbinger of ill fortune and of a decline from virtue. Many of the housewives of the provinces still carry in their pockets or about their throats a toadstone ring, a practice established centuries ago to preserve the mother and her infants from evil influences. As a curative the ring is also cherished. It is still used by the European peasants in following the advice, "Use amulets against agues," which Sir Thomas Browne gave his patients more than 300 years ago. Silver rings are especially useful in curing cramps, fits and epileptic attacks, the simple English housewife believes, Lead and quicksilver rings, moreover, are highly prized as enemies to headaches. Quaint Old Customs Many quaint old customs and superstititions featuring the glove still survive. A pair of gloves was placed on a long pole as a means of advertising or opening a fair in bygone days and this custom still continues in many parts of England. In Saxon times, moreover, the gauntlet was used as a token of the privilege of holding a market and as a mark of the king's consent. According to Sir Walter Scott, the phrase "right as my glove" signified that pledging a glove was a sign of good faith, or taking one's oath. Many other attributes were assigned to the glove. It was, when worn in the hat, a testimony in ancient times that its wearer was a good farmer. The glove has always signified dignity, especially in the traditions of the Church of England. When a consecration of a bishop took place the archbishop was presented with a pair. They were of lavender color with golden fingers. This hand-dress was also always hung on the pews of those who died early and were unmarried. To bite the glove was a mark of deadly enmity or revenge. The familiar "old shoe" of the wedding is a tried token of good luck. How the custom ever originated is not certain, but it is believed by many to be a felled attack upon the bridegroom for carrying off the bride. This idea is suggested by the early barbaric practices of capturing the bride against resistance. Others, however, attempt to trace the hurling of the wedding shoe to the custom of the ancient whalers. God-speed and good-luck were in the olden days synonymous with throwing old shoes at the vessels as they left the wharves. Symbol of Authority Still another theory is that which allows the wedding shoe to become the symbol of authority and dominion over the bride by the husband. To receive a shoe in Biblical times indicated the conferral of ownership, just as the return of the shoe signified the relinquishing of it. In this period the father always kept the discarded shoe of his daughter as a symbol of his possession and it is believed by some that the familiar practice at modern weddings is only the persistence of the old custom in which the father threw the shoe at his new son-in-law as a sign of surrendering his proprietorship over the bride. Stockings, like shoes, have many legends and beliefs woven about them. To wear a stocking inside out is still regarded as lucky. Bad luck, however, overtakes the unfortunate who finds out her mistake before taking off the stocking. Good luck always awaits the person who has the wisdom of putting the right stocking on first. Woe unto him or her if the left is put on before the right. Even pins have been potent talsmen in the past. Anyone having a bitter enemy whom he wanted to punish had to do nothing but make a rude effigy of his foes. After inscribing the name of the enemy on the image, all that was needed was to stick it full of pins, each pinhole causing pain in that part of the victim's anatomy which in miniature was already being stabbed. Wishing wells are still popular trysting places for the lovers of Normandy. Sweethearts, according to tradition, will have all their wishes fulfilled by the simple expedient of making the wish and then dropping a crooked pin in the well. Europe Adopts $ Sign Vienna.—American currency has become so well advertised in Europe since the war that the $ sign has been added to several makes of typewriters and now appears frequently in newspapers and magazines. To Put Swiss Flag on Seas Geneva.—Measures with a view to permitting the Swiss flag to be flown on the high seas are under discussion by the federal authorities to enable Switzerland to maintain a merchant marine. Switzerland is without maritime legislation, although during the war merchant ships supplying her with food flew the Swiss flag. The question of a navy to protect a possible merchant marine has not been raised. THE MONITOR WILBERFORCE ELEVEN TO MEET WHITE COLLEGE (Preston News Service.) Wilberforce, O., April 11.—For the first time in several years of football history, a colored college eleven will meet a white college eleven in Ohio. According to a report of the schedule committee arrangements have been made for a game on October 4, 1924, when Wilberforce University's powerful aggregation opens the season against a white team, Carroll College, of Cleveland, Ohio. Several years ago when J. Sherman Hunnicutt, now principal of McKinley School, Topeka, Kansas, was manager of the foot ball team at Wilberforce, the local eleven played annually with Antioch College (white) at Yellow Springs, Ohio, and Cedarville College (white), Cedarville, Ohio, and Tippycanoe City team. He also managed the baseball team and played with Otterbein, Springfield, Ohio, Tippycanoe City, Cedarville, Antioch, Capital City College and Ohio Medical College of Columbus, Ohio. These same teams also were on the Wilberforce University schedule during the ten years prior to Hunnicutt's regime, when Richard C. Holland, now of Washington, D. C., was manager of the baseball and football teams. At least for fifteen years Wilberforce played white teams throughout Ohio. It is, therefore, nothing new, but really the old school is getting back to be recognized by her former white friends throughout the great state of Ohio. DENOUNCE KU KLUX KLAN (Preston News Service) Harrison, Ark., April 11.—Several hundred people attended an anti-klan meeting in Bellefonte, last Thursday night and heard Jeff F. Fowler, of St. Joe, a lawyer, denounce the Ku Klux Klan in the most scathing manner the klan has ever received in the State. Numbered among our group of producers are 504 flour and grain mill owners.

Bolivia New York.—An aerial trolley line, six miles long and rising 3,700 feet, is soon to be constructed for the Caracoles Tin company of Bolivia, a Guggenheim corporation, according to recent advices received in the financial district here. At its highest point the trolley will be the highest trolley of its kind in the world. The completion is expected to take six months and the materials are already on the ground. Steel will be worked on the ground and the trolley line itself will carry material up the mountain. The line is planned to be about the same size and capacity as that erected for the Northern Peru Mining company to connect the mill at Samme with the mines at Miliuchu, Trulloju, work on which was done by Wayne Graham, erecting engineer of the Riblet Aerial Tramway company of Spokane, Wash. Byron C. Riblet, the president of the company, recently arrived at La Pa, Bolivia, accompanied by Mr. Graham, where they proceeded to Caracoles connection with the aerial trolley. Foreign Profiles for New York—In connection with the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New York state in May, announcement has been made that 100,000 special 50-cent pieces will be issued shortly. New Netherlands and the middle Atlantic states were settled in 1624 by the Walloons, French and Belgians. One side of the coin will show the profiles of Admiral Collingham and William the Silent. On the other side will be a picture of the ship New Netherland sailing for America. The designs were suggested by Dr. John Baer Stoutd and were worked out by George Morgan, the artist, at the Philadelphia mint. The Fifth National bank of New York is agent for these coins, but they will be handled by all national banks. ASK YOUR MERCHANT OR THOSE FROM WHOM YOU BUY WHY HE DOES NOT ADVERTIZE IN YOUR NEWSPAPER.
