NEGRO CONGRESSMAN A POSSIBILITY LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy NEGR NEW YORK ENTERS RACE CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESSMAN Prominent and Successful Business Man Has Been Induced by Leaders To Stand for Election HAS ENTHUSIASTIC BACKING Republican Party Being Put to the Test and Prospects Bright for Representative in New York, Special, May 28.—Consternation has been thrown into the ranks of the republicans of the 21st Congressional District and the entire country by the determined fight that the friends of James L. P. Rumble have started in his behalf to elect him the Congressman of the Harlem and Washington Heights District. Rumble is the inventor of the Rumble Health Foods with his huge diet laboratory at 205 Duane street and his demonstration rooms at Seventieth and Broadway. He was educated in the public school of Washington and Mississippi and later completed his academic and scientific education in France. Upon his return to this country twenty years ago the prospective candidate settled in Atlantic City and began his propaganda preaching the scientific gospel "that your health depends upon your food", which has made him a recognized authority in medical circles, greatly sought after as a lecturer before the scientific societies and women's organizations of the country. Known as Flighter Mr. Rumble at the repeated urgings of his friends announced his candidacy a few days ago in Harlem. Since this time his candidacy has been the major topic of discussion. He is known far and wide for his fighting qualities, by reason of his wide connection, being the largest colored employer in America, politicians everywhere know that Rumble's candidacy means business. The colored people of the country are everywhere clamoring for representation in Congress. They are demanding that the republican party designate colored men to run from the North as the price of their continued allegiance to the G. O. P. The colored voters in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois and Missouri in the last campaign voted in large measure against the republican party because of its failure to give them elective and appointive recognition. The colored press of the country has already taken up the Rumble candidacy, and is urging vehemently the National Republican Committee to request the republican powers in the Empire State to designate a colored man from the Harlem district because here is the largest colored population in any city in the North or the country or in the entire world. Fearing that Tammany Hall may continue to make great inroads on the colored vote during the coming campaign if Governor Al Smith is nominated for either the presidency or the governorship again New York republican leaders are giving this matter grave consideration. Tammany Hall on the other hand is continuing to bid for the black vote and as proof of this has appointed within the last week three colored democrats to outstanding state positions. Cornellus A. McDougall, former deputy district attorney under District Attorney Whitman, has been made an assistant state attorney-general at a salary of six thousand dollars a year. Two other lieutenants of the democratic leader, Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton, in the persons of Lieutenants Oswald Deserney and Benjamin F. Wright, veterans of the Buffalo and famous Fifteenth regiments, have been made distributors of the bonus assigned to New York and Albany respectfully. Republican politicians have made aware of the things and many of them candidly told State Chairman Morris, Senator Wadworth and County Chairman Samuel S. Koenig that the only way that they can regain the vote that they have lost is by naming a clean, independent, big colored man for congress. This, these alarmed white republican leaders declare, would attract the colored voters throughout the state back to the republican fold. Mr. Rumble has issued the following statement announcing his candidacy: "I am in the fight to win. The five hundred thousand colored people of New York state demand representation in Congress. Conditions North and conditions South, racial speak- THE MONITOR HOLY LAND CONTEST DRAWING TO CLOSE Indianapolis, Ind., May 30—The offer made by the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company of this city to send three ministers on a free trip to Palestine and another to Paris, France, is soon to be fulfilled. The nation-wide contest in which the trips are to be awarded is fast drawing to a close. But five short weeks of the race remain to be run and then—July 1st—the world will know the winners of these matchless travel prizes. Three hundred fifty-eight ministers were nominated to the contest and have made it the biggest thing of its kind every attempted by Negro business. Many have proved themselves good campaigners and set dizzy paces for the others. Contestant has rivalled contestant; city has fought against city, state against state, district against district—all in friendly, but no less determined, competition. Friends have rallied to support their favorite, Churches, lodges—entire cities—organized to put their candidate over and in these last and hot days of the contest an appeal goes up from them and the candidates to rally round your own. Do your bit! Help send your favorite contestant on a 10,000-mile tour to Palestine free of cost to him. A broadcast warning urges all coupons to be in to the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. by mid-night, June 30th. ANTI KLAN CALL TO RACE VOTERS IN INDIANA New York, May 30.—(Preston News Service.)—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued a statement last Thursday over the signature of James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association, advising every Negro voter in Indiana to make the issue of Ku Klux Klan dominance pramount in guiding his vote in the coming elections. The statement says: "The republican nominee for governor in the state of Indiana was nominated under the full endorsement of the Klan . . . There is every reason for Negro votes to be cast against candidates for office, of whatever party, who accept Klan support or indorse and represent Klan point of view, with its religious bigotry, its racial intolerance and its appeal to crude mob sentiment." REVOKE POORHOUSE CONTRACT—NO APPLICANTS Port Gibson, Miss., May 30—(By Associated Negro Press.)—At the regular monthly meeting of the board of supervisors for Clairborne county, the contract for the county poorhouse was revoked, the supervisors holding that there were no inmates and no occupants. The poorhouse had been used exclusively by Negroes. ORIGINAL "LITTLE EVA", MRS. K. P. EMERY, DIES Chicago, Ill., May 30. — (Preston News Service.)—"Little Eva", who has died numberless times and ascended to a stage heaven, via silken ropes, while audiences wept, actually passed away last Saturday. Mrs. Katie Putnam Emery, famous actress and widow of Harry B. Emery, leader in the Mormon colony of Utah, died at the Knights Flanders home here. Mrs. Emery was more than 70 years old and starred as the "original Little Eva", in the original Uncle Tom's Cabin play when she was five years old. Later she starred in numerous other plays. For the past twenty years she had made her home in Benton Harbor, Mich. LIEUT, COL. JOHN E. GREEN TRANFERRED TO ARIZONA Washington, D. C., May 30.—(Preston News Service).—Under army orders last Thursday, Lieut. Col. John E. Green, infantry, is relieved from duty as professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, effective June 30th, when he will proceed to Nogales, Arizona, for duty. ing, demand competent colored spokesmen for their people at the capitol of the nation. The influx of the colored people to the North is due to their unprotected rights in the South. The Negro of the North should at all times use whatever power is at his disposal to extend a protecting arm to the Southern Negro. This will have a tendency to check the onrush from the South at a time when the farmer is in great demand." OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MAY 30, 1924 NEWSLETS There are forty colored school teachers in Detroit. It's not far from a Rumble to a Rumpus in Congress. We need a few more people like the Malones of St. Louis. If Methuselah had not been a drinking man he might have lived to a ripe old age. In the United States as a whole, about 576 persons in each 1,000 are of voting age. TRAINING COLORED SOCIAL WORKERS The Atlanta School of Social Work, conducted in connection with Morehouse College, is just completing its fourth year of successful operation. Established in 1920 because of the special need in the South for an institution for the training of colored young people in professional social work, it has been steadily raising its standards and enlarging its effectiveness. Courses are given in case work, human behavior, social investigation, physiology, home nursing, community organization, play leadership, social problems and field work. In addition the school is giving extension courses to forty-six public school teachers, conducts a short course for ministers' wives at Gammon Seminary, and gives two lectures a week to the senior normal students of Atlanta University. The school is controlled by a committee of representative white and colored men and women, headed by Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College. The faculty consists of E. Franklin Frazier, who is also the director, a teacher in case and field work, and a number of executives of Atlanta social agencies. A nominal tuition fee of twenty-five dollars is charged. TIME TO LEAVE Baltimore, May 30.—"When mobs murder or outrage Negro men or women and the victim is unable to protect himself and the law fails or refuses to intervene and extend protection, the Negroes of such community should leave en masse. The happy day has arrived when Negroes can secure work in any part of the country and there is no need for any Negro in any part of the South to remain where he is mistreated, outraged, or murdered. Every mob murder, every mob outrage upon a man, woman or child—every act of oppression winked at by law is an accelerator to Negro migration." (From The Baltimore Herald.) COLORED WOMEN STUDY POLITICS Washington, May 30.—A political Plattsburg, under the auspices of the Republican Women's Club of the District of Columbia, was held here several days last week. Cabinet officers, senators and representatives made up the personnel of the faculty for this intensive training course, and in the group of three hundred and fifty women enrolled were ten colored, among whom were Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. Eva A. Wright and Mrs. Gabriella Pelham, all three of whom are widely known throughout the country. At the conclusion of the program the members of the club were received at the White House by President Coolidge. NEGROES TO VISIT HOME OF WHITE SLAVES New York, N. Y., May 30—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—It is announced that one of the places to be visited in the mid-winter Aladdin Cruise to the West Indies January next, is the Barbadoes islands, where, more than a century ago, Scotch and Irish rebels were bought for 1,500 pounds of sugar each by the ruling class of the islands and made slaves. The descendants of these rebels have remained in a backward state until the present time, the whites of the better class and the Negroes on the islands looking down on them and treating them as outcasts so that they have steadily degenerated until at the present time they remind one of a strange throwback in the human race. They have existed largely through inbreeding which has been productive of disease and numerous forms of degeneracy. There are more colored persons 65 years of age and over in Philadelphia than in New York or Chicago. In the Congo, where fur coats are not expensive, a man's wealth is reckoned by the number of his wives. LEADING WHITE NEWS- PAPER OF NEW YORK BACKS N. A. A. ANTI- KLAN FIGHT New York, May 30.—The Evening World, a leading white newspaper of this city, has endorsed the demand of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, that President: Coolidge state his position on the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana. The following editorial entitled "President and Klan in Indiana" was the leading utterance of the Evening World on May 21: "There is every justification for the determination of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to demand of President Coolidge a definite statement as to his attitude toward the Ku Klux Klan. "Up to the present hour, the only place where the Klan has taken over one of the major political parties, bag and baggage, is in Indiana, where the party of the President is running a Klansman as its candidate for Governor and the boss of the party has met with the boss of the Klan under the dome of the Capitol to arrange the details of the amalgamation. "In the primary in which the Klan candidate polled more votes than all his republican opponents combined, the President was a candidate for the presidential preference with an opponent. The Klan candidate for governor won overwhelmingly. The President prevailed overwhelmingly. And the President could not have won without the hearty support of the Klan. "It may be urged that the President is not responsible for the fact that his friends voted for the Klausman for the governorship and not responsible for the council of war, the dickering, trading and agreements between Senator Watson, the President's senatorial spokesman on recent notable occasion, and the fate of the Klan; but the fact remains that the President would not have received the Klan vote if the sheeted brotherhood of bigotry and hate believed that he was hostile to their organization. The President is not responsible for what the bigots may believe, but under the extraordinary conditions in Indiana, Catholicus, Jews and colored citizens of the country have a right to expect a clear definition of his views. "As matters now stand his campaign in Indiana this year is under the management of the Ku Klux Klan. It dominates the organization. It dictates orders and terms to the republican bosses. It has its own state ticket. It becomes the official sponsor there of the President's candidacy. It announces that through the co-operation of the President's party it proposes to take over the government: of a great state and 'Klux Indiana as it has never been Kluxed before.'" "As President of the United States Mr. Coolidge could remain mute; as a candidate for President of the United States, dependent absolutely on the 125,000 colored citizens of Indiana for the electoral vote of that state, he cannot ignore the demands of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that he define his position." WILL GRADUATE FROM UNIVERSITY OF OMAHA Miss Dorothy Elizabeth Williams who last year graduated from the Primary-Kindergarten department of the University of Omaha will be graduated from the College of Arts and will receive her Bachelor of Arts degree at the commencement to be held in Jacob's Hall next Thursday night. Miss Williams has made an excellent record in scholarship during her entire university course and is the first colored student to receive her degree at the Omaha university. She expects to engage in teaching. She is the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. John Albert Williams. A savage has at least one advantage over a civilized man, in that he can see one-tenth farther, even on a rainy day. "I am for economy," is a good slogan. There are twenty-six colored operators, officials and managers of mines. The First Standard Bank of Louisville already has resources of $400,000. Most of our divorced females are between 35 and 44 years of age. The "Keynoter" at the National Colored Democratic Convention will have no easy job. WOMAN PROBATION OFFICE Des Moines, Ia., May 30—(By Associated Negro Press.)—This city has its first colored woman probation officer. Mrs. Lillian Smith, the president of the Gilpin Dramatic Club and an active worker in many social and civic activities in the state of Iowa, has been appointed probation officer by Des Moines, Ia., commissioner of public safety. Des Moines has a number of Negroes in responsible municipal positions, about seventeen, including seven policemen and two women. Mrs. Smith is an energetic woman who will prove a valuable addition to the city staff. She is specifically charged with investigations growing out of vice and delinquencies of girls. BISHOP'S SON CARRIED OFF SECOND HONORS Chicago, Ill., May 30.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Archibald J. Carey, Jr., talking son of a bishop, romped away with second prize in the oratorical contest bringing together the victors in the mid-western zone of the series of meets being conducted by the National Oratorical Society.

One hundred dollars of this money he donated toward scholarship of $1,000 to be provided by the A. M. E. conference for the education of an African who would promise to go back to help his people.

Whole Number 464 OSSIB OMAHA WESTERN LEAGUERS HOME IN SECOND PLACE Taking of Present Series From Denver Team Will Place Buffaloes in Tie With Berger's Leaders A doubleheader for tomorrow, Decoration Day, another game for Saturday and a big two-timer with the Capitol City boys Sunday. That is the program in store for professional ball fans over the week end. Denver, the plutocrat of the Tierney loop are now showing their stuff in Omaha for the first time this season and to say the least, Joe Berger, the old Wichita pilot, has a sweet looking squad of players. They are full of peep, and up and bustling for their jobs and will bend every effort to clean house with the Omaha crew, their nearest competitors for the leading honors. Mammoth crowds should greet them on their visit here. Lincoln, the cellar champs, who cleaned house with Omaha on the Holy City diamond arrives here Saturday for four games and Barney and Mr. Griggs are out to get that clean-sweep back home again. While Lincoln has played into tough luck, you don't want to get the idea into your cranium that they are weaklings, even if they are the league infants. They have a pretty fair club.

In an effort to ascertain the attitude of southern white Baptists on the matter, it was brought before the convention here recently by the executive committee. The convention voted its determination to handle the Negro problem in the South according to the southern white man's conception of how it should be handled without conference or consultation with the Northern Baptist Convention or any other organization. Many speakers declared that it was but a piece of impertinence on the part of the northern white churchmen to endeavor to intrude themselves into the affairs of the South as respects the Negro. "We know the Negro better than anybody else, and also how to handle him best. We don't need any outside advice or help in taking care of the situation," one speaker declared. The convention finally decided to more politely word the refusal to accept the proposal and went on record stating that "it would complicate a situation already delicate enough." LOUISIANA SINGERS TO BE FEATURE AT CLEVELAND MEET New Orleans, La., May 30—(Preston News Service.)—Baptists of New Orleans are completing plans for the annual National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y.

It will spend a day there and on the night of June 16 will give a New Orleans night program in one of the Chicago churches, rendering plantation melodies by the St. Mark's Chanters, among Louisiana's best known jubilee singers. James B. Gayle, chairman of the special committee, said the chorus of New Orleans will be one of the outstanding features of the convention program in Cleveland.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 48 BILITY “OLE MISS” ADOPTS INTERRACIAL PLAN FOR IMPROVEMENT White and Colored Leaders Organize to Promote Better Conditions Among People of Section. EPISCOPAL BISHOP IS HEAD State Official Made Executive Head— Able Colored Men Speak for Race —Sentiment in State Is Favorable. Jackson, Miss., May 30.—The cause of good will and co-operation between the races in Mississippi took a decided step forward in the organization here recently of a strong State Interracial Commission, which enters enthusiastically upon the task of improving condition in this state. The organization meeting was called by Bishop Theodore D. Bratton, the best-known Churchman in the state, and was attended by more than twenty white and colored leaders. Bishop Bratton was elected chairman, Mr. Blake Godfrey of the State Y, M. C. A. was made recording secrety, and Hon. Francis Harmon, assistant attorney-general of the state, was made executive secretary, backed by a strong executive committee. The colored leaders present who accepted membership on the commission were Professors W. H. Holtzclaw, Z. T. Hubert, L. J. Rowan, B. B. Dansby and W. A. Battle, Dr. A. W. Dumas, and Dr. Zuber. Dr. Dumas was the principal spokesman for the colored group and made a fine and effective presentation of their viewpoint. He emphasized especially the need of better educational facilities. Prof. Bura Hilburn, state supervisor of colored schools, made a happy response, pledging his department to do all in its power to improve educational conditions for colored people and pointing out the rapid progress already being made in that direction. Mr. Harmon and the executive committee were authorized to organize the whole state as rapidly as possible. R. W. Miles, field representative of the General Interracial Commission, was immediately sent out on this mission and within the week has interested leading citizens of Meridian, Laurel and Hattiesburg and formed the nucleus of committees in those cities. Sentiment over the state is said to be more favorable to this work than ever before. COLORED Y. W. C. A. WORKER HONORED New York City, May 30.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—A step forward was taken in the development of the colored race when at the Eighth National Convention of the Young Women's Christian Association in New York City, Mrs. George E. Haynes of New York City was made a member of the National Board. This is the first time in the history of the Association that a colored woman has been so honored. Mrs. Haynes will have a voice with over ninety women in the decisions affecting the program and ideals of the largest organization in the world concerned with the welfare of women and girls. The Young Women's Christian Association became interested in work for colored women and girls in 1906 when the National Board was formed. This was not so many years ago, but today over one hundred thousand women and girls of the colored race are participants in its programs. There are, scattered over this country some sixty-five branches for colored work, employing one hundred and twenty-two secretaries. Four thousand and sixty-five colored women sit on committees in these branch associations. Mrs. Haynes was the first colored student association secretay on the national staff, traveling from one section of the country to another to meet and confer with colored girls in schools and colleges. She is a member of the colored branch of the association in New York City and of the council on colored work. She is a member of the Baptist church. Her husband is the secretary on the Interracial Commission of the Federal Council of Churches.

A PLAIN DUTY A PLAIN duty lies before the 125,000 voters of our race in Indiana, who generally vote the Republican ticket and that is to vote against the Republican candidate for governor who is a member of the Ku Klux Klan and has the support of the Klan. There can be no compromise upon the part of our people anywhere with the Klan. The issue in Indiana is clear. It looks very much now as though the issue is to be clearly drawn nationally between Klan and anti-Klan. In many places the Republicans have become identified with Klan. It looks very much as though the Coolidge administration is favorable to the Klan. If this be so, then the vote of our race must be thrown unitedly against it. The Monitor hopes to be able to support Calvin Coolidge for the presidency, but if he has the backing of the Ku Klux Klan, we will be against him. Coolidge's nomination is conceded. His election however, is entirely another question. Indiana, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania are pivotal states. In every one of these states our race holds the balance of power. Normally we are Republican; but we are anti-Klan. Any alliance between the Ku Klux Klan and the republican candidates means, as it deserves to mean, whole sale defection or alienation of the Nero vote. Whatever else may be in doubt our duty toward the Ku Klux Klan is plain and that is to fight it to the last ditch. If its power grows and it is not checked Klan propaganda means within the next five years Civil War in the United States. Hatred breeds war. The Klan propogates race and religious hatred and its fruitage in war. The Klan is unqualifiedly opposed to Negroes, Jews, Roman Catholics and the foreign-born --- Will Consider Sale of Monitor Will consider favorable proposal for purchase of The Monitor as I am seriously considering retiring from newspaper work, important though it is, and devoting my time entirely to my pastoral and parish work. John Alber Box 1204, A PRAYER FOR DELIVERY PRESENT By Morne (For the Association GOD, who hast made who doest love all whom A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM RACE PREJUDICE 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 woe man 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. 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 final protection of the laws. and aims at the curtailment of their civil, commercial and political rights and none of these can compromise with the Klan or those who are friend- ly with the Klan. ADMIRATION AND CORDIAL FRIENDSHIP THE honeyed words of President Coolidge in connection with the signing of the Japanese Exclusion Bill will only increase the content of the astute Niponese for American shallowness and hypocrisy. Honeyed assurance of "admiration and cordial friendship" while kicking one out of his house, or slamming the door in his face, will never be accepted as sincere by any save an imbecile. The Japanese are far from being imbeciles. Ans yet the President expects them to swallow the assurance "that the enactment of this provision does not imply any change in our sentiment of admiration and cordial friendship for the Japanese people." This is pure and unadultered buncombe and the Japanese will appreciate it at its true value. As a matter of fact the Congress of the United States has seriously blundered in this matter, particularly at a time when interest should be centered upon creating international amity and goodwill and removing as far as possible all ground for misunderstanding and bitterness. The president has become party to this blunder by signing the bill and no honeyed words will soften the smarting insult unnecessarily dealt to the Japanese. "Cordial friendship" and exclusion from one's company or companionship do not go hand in hand. The one excludes the other. The Japanese will laugh derisively over America's "abundant manifestation of admiration and cordial friendship for the Japanese people" as shown in the drastic exclusion bill which becomes effective July 1. GRADUATES A GOOD number of our youth are being graduated from schools and colleges. They have worked hard in their work of preparation. It is our duty to help them in every way to find and fill places of usefulness. RELIGIOUS CONVENTIONS THE various conferences and national religious gatherings in which our race is largely represented indicate that substantial progress has been made along spiritual and intellectual planes. This is gratifying. Art Williams Omaha, Neb.

A communication was read by the secretary, asking the Alliance to endorse an invitation asking for the 1925 session of the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congresses to be held in Omaha. This was granted unanimously. A second communication was read by the secretary, inviting the Ministers' Alliance to visit a movie entitled "New Decipie" struck fire and produced a most sanguine discussion. The Alliance voted adversely on this invitation. The Alliance voted to recess the latter part of July. The following were named as chairmen of committees: Rev. F. Divers, on Chautauqua for Young Peoples; Rev. O. J. Burkhardt on Vigilance and Rev. E. W. Cox on Exchange of Pulps. The Alliance has suddenly taken on new life and much good is expected to be accomplished in next two months. J. D. CRUM, Secretary. PLEASANT SURPRISE PARTY A surprise party was given Tuesday evening at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Redd, 6613 Railroad avenue, by a party of girls who make up a class taught by Mrs. Redd in the Sunday school at Allen Chapel. The Carter orchestra furnished the music. Her daughter Ollie adroitly managed to allay her mother's suspicion that anything unusual was going on until the participants arrived. A delightful evening was spent in making merry with songs and speeches. Mrs. Redd was presented with a beautiful parasol by the class and others. The scientists must be asleep if they have just discovered that the domination of man is on the wane and that in time women will be the ruling sex. Who rules now? THE MONITOR AK-SAR-BEN RUNNING RACES MAY 31st to JUNE 24th Omaha's big booster institution, Ak-Sar-Ben, is planning a running race program this spring—May 31st to June 24th—that will be second to none in the west. In fact, with the advent of this, Ak-Sar-Ben's fourth season of racing, the Omaha track is established as a meeting place for stables from the four corners of the United States, from Mexico and Canada. Advance reservations indicate that most of the states in the Union will be represented at the races in Omaha. The track is becoming more and more popular with the public. The steel and concrete grandstand, which seats 10,000 people, is considered one of the finest amphitheatres in the country. The jayout of the mile track and the arrangement of the grand stand are such that from any seat in the grand stand, every movement of the horses on the track can be seen. Some of the finest stables in the country will contest for the handicap purses. Following are the big events and the days on which they will be run: The Speed Inaugural, May 31st; the Ak-Sar-Ben Queen's Plate, Wednesday, June 4th; the Ak-Sar-Ben King's Cup, Saturday, June 7th; the Omaha Chatman of Commerce Handicap, Saturday, June 14th; the Nebraska Handicap, Thursday, June 19th, and the Stock Yards Derby, Saturday, June 21st. There will be 21 days of racing, six or more races each day; purses total $80,000. CARD OF THANKS We can not think of words suitable to express our sincere thanks, we take this means of extending the many friends who so kindly rendered their assistance through a period of illness and death of our beloved daughter and wife, Blanche. We would be pleased to give here an individual list of names, but it would require too much space. H. K. HILLON, MRS. H. K. HILLON, ALONZO SIMMONS. THE PURPOSE OF THE COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUF OF OMAH The purpose of the Colored Commercial Club is to co-operate in civic and commercial enterprises among the colored people of Omaha; to foster a better relation between the colored and white business houses. The Colored Commercial Club is an organization that undertakes civic and commercial work on a large scale. Despite the fact that the club has been critized severely and unwarrantedly, it has striven to keep the ideals and principles for which it was organized foremost in mind. It has not allowed the criticisms to discourage but rather to maintain its purpose. As illustration of practical accomplishments of the Club, it has placed one hundred and eighty colored persons in jobs in the past month, which to every fair minded person speaks for itself. Very often people come to the office with letters and papers from their respective homes indicating they are good citizens and worthy of good jobs. The Club has secured these people desirable homes, good jobs and assisted them in many ways that an individual regardless of his standing could not do. This is emphasized, because of the many activities of the Colored Commercial Club, this is one of the greatest. It is the duty of the Colored Commercial Club to foster civic spirit as is true of many other clubs and organizations of business and social nature throughout the city. The Club is a meeting place for organizations of social uplift, a place where the colored business men can band together for the good of the race and Omaha at large. The Colored Commercial Club is the logical place to carry on this kind of work. The officers of the Club are as follows: Nathaniel Hunter, president; R. L. Williams, commissioner; Dan Desdunes, treasurer. The activities of the Club are carried on by committees consisting of from three to seven members. They are as follows: Legislation and Municipal Affairs—Rev. John Albert, Williams, chairman. Publicity and Convention—H. J. Pinkett, chairman. Charities, Hospital and Public Health—Dr. R. W. C. Riddle, chairman. Boys Work—Chairman to be appointed. Membership—C. H. Spriggs, chairman. Entertainment, Music, Good Fellowship—Chairman to be appointed. Real Estate, Insurance, Housing—Dr. D. W. Gooden, chairman. Ways and Means—T. P. Mahammitt, chairman. Retail Trade and New Business—A. F. People, chairman. Finance—Rev. Russel Taylor. House Committee—H. W. Williams, chairman. It will be seen that the purpose and aim of the C. C. C. is to unify racial efforts for advancement and uplift. The Club invites all who believe in such unification and co-operation to membership. The District of Columbia leads in the number of colored female compositors any typesetters. Illinois ranks in second place, followed by Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New York. It would be great if we could win as many prizes in science and in mechanical skill as we do in oratory.

Pinkston, presented forty of our university and high school students in the delightful operetta, "A Nautical Knot" or "The Belle of Barmstapole." It was a brilliant success from every point of view. The young people who presented it had been diligently practicing and rehearsing for the past four months and the successful presentation, which delighted the audience showed the results of this hard work. They had been drilled in music by Mrs. Pinkston and in dramatics and acting by Andrew Reed. Every participant threw himself into his or her part with an enthusiasm, naturalness and ease which gave an air of genuine reality to the performance.

Time 2:30 p. m. MR. GRIFFITH, President. ELSIE CARTER, Rec. Sec'y. New York city has 126 colored teachers employed in the public schools. THE MEMORIAL parts were good and the chorus work excellent. In some cases the accompanist was too loud for the voices, which detracted somewhat from the solo work. Excellent taste was shown in the costuming and staging. Miss Dorothy Williams, as "Julia" the haughty belle of Barnstapole, admirably sustained this character, reading her lines well, and while she has not a strong voice her notes were true and she sang her part with decided expression. Weldon Solomon, as "Barnabus Lee," the artist, acted the part to perfection, and used his fine tenor voice well; "Nance" a dainty maid, and sweetheart of "Joe Stout," which was excellently impersonated by Jesse Hutten interpreted her part with feeling and intelligence. "Dorcas" her friend, was admirably imponated by Miss Dorcas Jones, whose wonderful voice was used with telling effect in the duet between her and Nance. As "Bill Salt," an old tar, John Pegg could not have been improved upon. He acted the part to perfection and used his fine bass voice with telling effect. Delia, Daisy, Dora, Flora and girls, girls of Barnstapole Several smokers looked up with surprise when they heard the porter conversing in a foreign tongue with a gentleman who seemed to be on terms of close friendship with the railroad man, and when he had gone forward to answer a ring from number eight, an inquisitive gent, with the emblem of a Greek letter fraternity in his coat lapel, turned to the porter's friend and said: "I see that your porter friend is a foreigner? Where is he from?" "Oh, no; he's a real American," was the dry response. "Well, may I inquire what language you and he were conversing in?" continued the curious one. "Portuguese," was the curt reply. "Pardon me," continued the Greek letter man, "and I hope you will not think that I mean to be impolite, but it merely seemed to me that the language sounded a bit strange. French, German, or even Italian would have seemed to be in more common use among real Americans." "Well," responded the porter's friends, "Jim speaks those languages also; but we chose Portuguese just then because of the confidential nature of our conversation, knowing that we were more likely to encounter travelers who understood French or German than we were to find those who could understand Portuguese. Even so," he added with a laugh, "you may not have any doubts that English is still our preference." The Greek letter man resumed his cigar, but it was very apparent that his curiosity was far from satisfied. He fingered his watch fob for a while, and then, after the porter had come back and spoken a hasty sentence or two, this time in German, turned and asked: "Where's the porter from? I never knew but one colored man who could speak German as fluently as that; and he was the college baseball player whom our team refused to take the field when we came north about six years ago. His team, and especially the captain, loyalty stood by him, and the game was called off; but not until he had said some pretty hard things to our coach who was from Germany, in his own language. And even though I was pretty sore myself at the idea of a colored man playing on a university baseball team, which THE MUSIC BAND were impersonated with grace and naturalness by the Misses Frances D. Gordon, Madeline Shipman, Thelma Shipman, Ernestine Singleton and Louise Taylor; and Jim Spray, Neb Bluff, Jack Brace, Bob Blow, Steve Wind and Dave Wave, sailors on "The Bounding Billow" were admirably represented by Wm. Taylor, Joseph Dorssey, James Lewis, Gerald Adams, Albert Taylor and Lovejoy Crawford. The five wandering artists who provoked the jealousy of the Barnstapole sailors, were well impersonated by Messrs. Dillard Crawford, Dwight Dorssey, Arthur McCaw, Sabert Hanger, and Worthington Williams, "who had the classy names of Reggie Rubus, Millet Mauve, Sebastin Stately, Pastel Easel and Chaucey Coleur. The townpeople and Barnstapole girls, were impersonated by the Misses Jean Dorsey, Grace Dorsey, Alma Webster, Robbie Turner, Ruby Evans, Dorothy and Elizabeth Allen, Rachel Rice, Virginia Jackson, Constance Singleton, Grace Adams, Aline Burnette, Inez Battles, Louise Scott, Melva McCaw, Helen Redd, Katey Cheney and Sybil Merrifield. had booked playing dates with the best colleges of the south, I could not help from admiring his versatility of speech." "Well," replied the porter's conversationalist, "this is the same colored man whom you met on the baseball field." "I see," replied the Greek letter man. "And that goes to show the foolishness of it all, for with all his many languages, which he doesn't really need, he's still only a railroad porter; and, in fact, is much more useful in that capacity than he would be in any other." "No, you're quite mistaken," responded the porter's friend, with a sarcastic smile. "Jim's an interpreter at the Port of New York, at an excellent salary, and he was given special permission to make this trip, as a porter, to assist me in writing a feature story which the Pullman Company is going to publish in its advertising pamphlets. To make everything realistically true, each of us is filling the role of an actual character, and we're taking close observations of all the passengers whom we are meeting on this trip. Watch the papers and you may see something about yourself." "But, who are you?" gasped the "But, who are you?" gasped the Greek letter man in astonishment. "I'm advertising specialist for the Pullman Company—and, by the way," he added, with a revengeful smile, "I'm the former captain of that same baseball team which you refused to play against six years ago." And I quickly raised my newspaper before my face to keep the Greek letter man from seeing me laugh. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday was a very interesting day for Bethel. The pastor, Rev. Frederick Divers, was back in the pulpit after three weeks absence, during which time he and wife attended the General! Conference in Louisville, Ky. The Sunday school work is growing and we are getting ready for our Daily Vacation Bible School which will convene the last of July. There was one accession at the morning service, and the evening services were well attended. Next Sunday is communion day again and rally day at which time we are asking our friends to come and be with us. At the evening service there will be an educational program rendered. Miss Edna S.ratton of the Y. W. C. A. will speak, and there will be other numbers and special music.

The Horn Pipe Dance by the sailors was a pleasing feature. Preceding the operetta, "The Awakening of Spring," a beautiful dance number was presented by thirty children who had been trained by Miss Teresa Jones. The children were costumed as flowers. Miss Margaret Bell represented "The Fairy;" Miss Constance Singleton, the Sun Dance Sprite; Little Carmelita Black, the Rain Dance Sprite, and Masters Alger Adams and Lawrence Burnette, bees. The flowers were Vera Walton, Ellen Richardson, Oletha Serrant, Helen Singleton, Helen Sherwood, Margaret Dickerson, Mary Ellen Dickerson, Mercedes Ferguson, Margory Edwards, Sylvia Adams, Marie Smith Edrose Willis, Mary Willis, Celestine Smith, Catherine Williams, Willa Hayes, Ruth Pegg, Helen Jenkins, Vera Chandler, Charlotte Hicks, Grace Adams, Dorothy Allen, Aline Burnette, Melva McCaw, Louise Scott and Lavaina Scott. "Life Atom" Discovery Finds "Pep" in Orange New York.-Prof. Calvin S. Page used an orange in his lecture on Rx, the life atom which he discovered in 1889. The lecture was delivered before about 100 persons, most of them instructors or students, in the hall of the Engineering Societies building, 29 West Thirty-ninth street. Rx is an element which combines with everything except itself. He himself has isolated an atom of it and weighed it, but ordinarily it can be measured only by its effects on something else. Owing to its virtually universal affinity, it is found everywhere. It is Rx that enables a person in good health to wiggle his fingers in a masterful way when he seeks to stop a Fifth avenue bus. It is Rx which enables him to see and hear. If it was not for Rx, he would be a clod or a statue. Rx is the vital atom.

But man, the greatest masterpiece That nature could devise, Will often stop and hesitate Before he'll advertise. Merchants who are wise And want our people's trade Use THE MONTOR to advertise And thus their fortune's made. --- --- RENT DREAMLAND HALL $50.00 With all Concessions Web. 3217 Enterprise Tailoring Co.

Nenana, Alaska—The "musher" in the arctic circle, where winter prevails about eight months out of the year, must never relax his vigilance if he would survive the perils peculiar to the region. To the explorer, prospector, scientist, trapper or hauler of mail and supplies who must go north of the Yukon river basin, one of the greatest winter hazards is the lack of timber for firewood. In some localities the only timber is aspen, commonly called poplar, scrub spruce and stunted brush. When a man faces 50 degrees below zero in sleeping bag and canvas tent, he requires a big log fire and abundant fuel to keep it going. When the Arctic blizzard sweeps down, man and beast are compelled to seek shelter. In the bitterest cold few lungs can withstand the "scorching" atmosphere that appears to sear them like a flame while the blood is turning to ice "Frozen" lungs are not uncommon, but there are certain precautions that minimize the danger. Equipment for Journey. The equipment includes three pairs of heavy woolen socks on each foot; underwear and shirt of wool, but of medium weight; mittens augmented by buckskin slipovers and a drill parka. its hood faced with wolverine fur, which does not gather frost and freeze where the breath strikes it. The muskrat or beaver cap has flaps to pull down over the ears and under the chin. The shoes frequently are moose hock mukluks. At no time must any portion of the flesh save the eyes be exposed to the frost, and even the eyes must be protected when facing a blizzard. Travelers usually augment this "light" equipment with a complete suit of reindeer fur. Submission to the cold of the Arctic has a different effect than might be imagined. Instead of a shivering and a gradual agonizing process of freezing, the frost overcomes one suddenly and almost painlessly. There is a numbness in the more exposed portions, like the feet, legs and hands. Later the jaw becomes stiff, nearly immobile. A minute's exposure of a partly cold hand to low temperatures causes the fingers to become stiff and without feeling. It is as if they had gone to sleep. The man in danger of death from freezing is overtaken by a rather pleasant lethargy. A danger is found in becoming overheated and then tarrying to cool off. Even when the temperature is 50 below, one's body perspires if all orifices of the clothing are closed. If there are any holes in the equipment, the cold penetrates like the flame from a blowpipe, boring in rather than spreading. How Death Steals on Them. One may have a spot the size of a dime frozen on a finger where there is a hole in glove or mitten, and the rest of the hand then becomes numb. In stopping for rest, the uninitiated often tarry too long, and on arising wonder why the limbs refuse to function with their wonted suppleness. After several such halts, further progress becomes a struggle, and unless a fire is available immediately the chances of freezing are great. Frozen hands or toes are treated in the time-honored way of rubbing them with snow until the circulation is restored. Horses used to carry outfits into the interior of Alaska are protected from lung freezing by a covering like a nose bag, through which the air is filtered of its biting frost before it is breathed. Nature further guards these horses by causing the hair on them to grow until by spring they resemble fur-bearing animals. Mule's Appetite Brings Suit in Superior Court Beaver, Pa.—The mule that made Beaver Falls famous has reached the Superior court. Dates do not matter much, but two or three years ago a mule was given away in Beaver Falls. The gift, after a day or two, proved unacceptable, and an attempt was made to return it. The mule promptly became homeless and some boys found it on the streets. The police got it, naturally, and placed it in the livery barn of C. L. Householder. While insistent efforts were made to find an owner, the mule ate up about $200 worth of feed, many times what it was worth. Householder tried to collect finally from the borough, and the borough refrained, because of technicalities, from paying. He sued. The case coursed through the Beaver county courts and finally was put on the Superior court docket. Canteen Is Recovered 62 Years After Battle Corinth. Miss.-A Confederate veteran who was removed from the battlefield of Shiloh in 1862 by his comrades has recovered his canteen after 62 years, according to S. F. Swinehart of Blytheville, Ark., who was a member of Buell's army. Two Civil war veterans, a Confederate and a Federalist, met on the battlefield recently. The Confederate veteran told his former foeman of having given his canteen to a soldier in blue, who also was wounded, on the first day of the Battle of Shiloh. "Here is your canteen," said the other, unbuttoning his coat. RACE WOMEN ELECT Newark, N. J., May 30.—More than 100 women attended the quarterly conference and victory celebration of the Republican Colored Women of Essex county at the Lincoln Club, East Orange recently. Mrs. Catherine Bell of Orange and Mrs. M. E. Burrell of Newark were elected delegates to the spring session of the State Republican Conference, to be held in Atlantic Stricken One-Crop Farmers Save Selves From Ruin. Washington, D.C.-How the stricken one-crop farmers of the Middle West and Northwest are beginning to save themselves from ruin by crop diversification is disclosed by reports of county agents to the Department of Agriculture, a resume of which was made public. As a whole the survey shows a drift out of wheat into live stock, a trend away from beef cattle to dairy cattle, a big increase in poultry, in the production of feed crops and a general movement toward diversification in localities where diversification has not been common heretofore. Generally speaking, the changes indicated are said to be those which the farmers should have made in view of the economic situation. Reports from Iowa, Illinois, Kansas Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota Montana, Idaho and Washington cover 302 counties and show a great reduction in the acreage of wheat and other small grains and in beef cattle production. Expansion is shown in dairying, poultry, swine, corn, alfalfa and other feed crops, and also in flax in the spring wheat states, soy beans, seed clover and other leguminous crops in the great farming section of the corn belt and adjoining Western states. Dairying has expanded practically everywhere. Poultry raising has been increasing generally, 130 counties showing expansion. Fifteen county agents reported expansion in sheep raising, and nine reported a reduction. Swine production showed expansion in 118 of the reporting counties and contraction in twenty. Washington.-Science is approaching mastery over insanity, old age and other ills through study of the endocrine glands and discovery of means of their control, Dr. William J. A. Bailey of New York declared in a paper at a session of the American Chemical society. Describing development of basic knowledge about endocrine radiation with the gamma ray as being of transcending importance to the human race, Doctor Bailey, who is director of the American Endocrine laboratories, declared "we have cornered aberration, disease, old age and, in fact, life and death themselves in the endocrines." "If we look more to the endocrine glands and less to the head," he said, "we have an excellent chance of eradicating insanity. "In and around these glands," he added, "must center future efforts toward human rejuvenation, a goal for which the world has sought and one which now seems to be truly realized." Study of the principles involved in endocrine ionization, said Doctor Bailey, has placed science on the threefold of a new era. "We have too long regarded insanity as purely a brain condition," he declared. "Its seat is unquestionably in the endocrine glands, which absolutely control every brain function. "No greater truth has been vouchafsed to mankind than that these lowly masses of colloidal ooze regulate all body activity, down to the tiniest cell. I am satisfied, from clinical experience, that a method of endocrine ionization is now available whereby we can definitely, practically without exception, retard the progress of senescence and give a new lease of relatively normal functioning power to those whose sun of life is slowly slinking into the purple shadows of that longest night. "Rejuvenation means more today than any other subject that can concern a man or woman. The wrinkled face, the drawn skin, the dull eye, the listless gait, the faulty memory, the aching body, the destructive effects of sterility, all spell imperfect endocrine performance." Convicts Give Jailer Gift on His Birthday Prisoners in a jail rarely have much esteem for their jailer. It is different, however, at the county jail at Akron, O., where the prisoners presented Jailer C. G. Landue with a box of cigars as a birthday gift. All the prisoners were permitted to gather around the jailer for a few minutes to congratulate him. St. Louis—The development of ethylene, a new anesthetic, was described by Dr. A. B. Lockhardt and Dr. J. B. Carter, its discoverers, before the closing session of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology recently. Although objection to its use as an anesthetic has been made because of its odor and because it may explode if exposed to flames, or a spark, Doctor Lockhardt, who read the paper, said ethylene was being used successfully and that experiments have shown that it produces no ill effects even on children and old men. Ethylene is being successfully used also, he asserted, to ripen oranges and lemons artificially. Ethylene, Doctor Lockhardt declared, is present in automobile exhausts and the fumes from an untrimmed kerosene lamp. It also has been found in illuminating gas.
