WILL COOLIDGE ANSWER? REQUEST OFFICIAL ADVICE TOUCHING ATTITUDE ON KLAN National Advancement Association Writes President Formal Letter Requesting Frank Answer IMPORTANT ISSUE INVOLVED Emphatic Repudiation of Principles For Which Hooded Order Stands Demanded of Republican Party New York, June 6.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, have made public a letter to President Coolidge asking him in behalf of colored voters, and especially in view of the Indiana situation, for a clear and definite statement of the Republican Party's attitude toward the Ku Klux Klan. The letter, which is signed by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Advancement Association, is as follows: "Honorable Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: "Colored voters throughout the United States, but especially in the North, are waiting for an unequivocal statement from you as head of the Republican party on the Ku Klux Klan. Until the present moment it has remained for leaders of the Democratic Party to disavow domination by and affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan and to denounce its principles and procedures. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with 100,000 members, white and colored, feels it voices not merely the feeling if colored Americans but of Americans of whatever creed or race who believe in the militant tolerance for which America stands in asking the Republican Party through you, its head, to make some definite pronouncement with regard to the Republican Party's attitude toward the Klan. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is moved to make this request of you especially in view of the situation in Indiana where the Republican Nominee for Governor was given and publicly accepted the endorsement and the votes of the Klan forces and where, furthermore, Senator James Watson from the State, an acknowledged administration leader, not only offered his support to the Klan candidate but did so without by any word or phrase depreciating the nature of that candidate's backing. "We respectfully submit that the issue transcends a mere few votes in the coming election; although on the basis of the Klan issue, we are informed, colored people, breaking their historical allegiance to the Republican Party, are prepared to vote against Klan candidates by whatever party nominated. It is not, however, from the point of view of vote-getting that a repudiation of the Klan should come from the Republican Party. That repudiation should be made clear and decisive on the basis of the Klan's hypocrisy and the violence, disorder and the race and religious hatred known to be an inevitable product of the organization and activity of that body." SANCTION MORE FUN Springfield, Mass., June 6.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—By a five to one vote the conference of the Methodist Episcopal church which just closed here, lifted the ban on dancing and other amusements that has been in effect since the church was founded. Opponents of the move to lift the ban characterized it as a retreat in the fight against the social evils of the day. Those who voted to lift the ban did so in the belief that the church could render greater service in appealing to the conscience of its members than in trying to compel by rules and regulations the membership from indulgence in certain forms of amusement. NEW BAPTIST CHURCH ORGANIZED TUES NIGHT A number of local Baptists held an enthusiastic meeting Tuesday night at Bethel A. M. E. church, the use of which was generously tendered by the Rev. Fred Divers, and organized St. John's Baptist church with a full roster of officers. The Rev. E. H. McDonald, D. D., was unanimously elected pastor. Negotiations are under way for a permanent place of worship. THE MONITOR PLAYGROUND SITES ARE OFFERED 50 CITIES Marmon Foundation of New York WIN Donate Fund for Each Up to $2,900. New York.—Growing towns, small cities and suburban centers will be given an opportunity to obtain playgrounds free of cost through proposal of the Harmon Foundation of New York to give playgrounds this year to 50 communities of this kind in the United States. Although the time for filing applications will expire July 1, and a large number of applications have been received from communities throughout the country, Indiana towns have failed to take advantage of the offer, according to officers of the foundation. Under the terms of the offer, towns, small cities and suburban sections of larger cities with 3,000 or more residents and which show a growth at at least 30 per cent since 1900, are eligible in the final consideration for selection of the 50 sites for playgrounds. Applications will be investigated and the 50 playgrounds given to the same number of applying communities which are found to need them most. Other conditions are a $2,000 maximum for each playground site, but this amount may be added to by the community if it is desired to purchase a better site than that obtainable for that amount: $1,000 is the maximum price to be paid per acre; an appraisal of the actual value of the land by two disinterested citizens who know land values in the community must accompany each application; assurance that an option on the land proposed for purchase can be obtained for a sufficient period to consummate negotiations must accompany each application; title of property must be examined and legal opinion provided; all applications must be made in writing on regular blanks provided by the division of playgrounds, Harmon foundation, 140 Nassau street, New York, and all playgrounds obtained through the foundation must be known permanently as Harmon field, and all applications must be indorsed by the mayor or president of the board of education. The Harmon foundation was organized last year through the desires of William E. Harmon, head of a real estate company of New York, to provide proper places of play for children because he had lacked these advantages when a child. A number of playgrounds have already been given to small growing towns. ************************ Builds One-Man Dirigible an Amateur Can Operate ************************ UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS Matt Corbett has invented a one-man dirigible, which even an amateur can safely operate. The pony balloon will probably be used to fight the terrible "gipsy moth," which has done such great damage throughout the country. The cost of operating the machine is small and the army air service thinks so much of it that it has it fully protected. The inventor predicts that it will be to-the air what the Ford car is to the land—in other words, a great boon. Less Than 1 Child in 4 Has Perfect Health Washington—More than 75 percent of American school children have physical defects, Dr. Herman J. Norton, director of health education of the Rochester (N. Y.) schools, told a conference of home economics supervisors at the Interior department. He quoted a recent survey of the 22,000,000 children and declared 15,000,000 had bad teeth; 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 fallen arches, defective spines or joints; 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 malnutrition; 5,000,000 poor eyesight; 1,000,000 more or less deaf; 1,000,000 had had or did have tuberculosis; 28,000 had heart trouble, and 200,000 were mentally defective. A STORY OF THE MARTYRS OF 1822 A Story of Ante-Bellum Days, Dealing With Slave Insurrection at Charleston PROPERTY OWNED BY GEORGIANS DECREASES Atlanta, Ga., June 6.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Property owned by Negroes in Georgia decreased $3,042,141 from 1922 to 1923, according to the annual report of Comptroller General William A. Wright. The total valuation of property returned by Negroes was $48,233,541 last year, compared to $51,275,682 for the preceding year. Georgia Negroes had almost nine times as much money invested in horses and mules as they did in automobiles, according to the report. They returned horses and mules valued at $4,359,858, and automobiles valued at $585,569. The tax books showed that Negroes owned land valued at $15,567,057, city and town lots valued at $20,179,465, household and kitchen utensils valued at $4,260,314; and money and solvent debts amounting to $1,028,484. Migration of Negroes to the North is held to be largely responsible for this decrease, many landholders and property owners selling their holding to whites and taking their money with them, and other Negroes transferring their money to investment centers in the North while remaining here themselves. GIRL KILLED IN RACE CLASH Pittsburgh, Pa., June 6.—(By The Associated Negro Press)—Three-year old Ida Kirtsman, was fatally wounded in a clash between Negros and whites in the hill district of this city Monday night. Police quelled the disturbance. If there were immense difficulties in the way of recruiting, there were even greater ones in the way of supplying the recruits with proper arms, or with any arms at all for that master. But vast as were the difficulties, the leaders fronted them with buoyant and unquailing spirit, and rose, where other men of less faith and courage would have given up in despair, to the level of seeming impossibilities, and to the top of a truly appalling situation. Where were they, indeed, to procure arms? There was a blacksmith among them, who was set to manufacturing pikeheads and bayonets and to turning long knives into daggers and dirks, Arms in the houses of the white folks they designed to borrow after the manner of the Jews from the Egyptians. But for their main supply they counted confidently upon the successful seizure, by means of preconcerted movements, of the principal places of deposit of arms within the limits of the city, of which there were several. The capture of these magazines and storehouses were quite within the range of probability, for every one of them was at the time in a comparatively unprotected state. Two large gun and powder stores, situated about three and a half miles beyond the lines, and containing nearly eight hundred muskets and bayonets, were, by arrangements with Negro employees connected with them, at the mercy of the insurgents whenever they were ready to move upon them. The large building in the city, where was deposited the greatest portion of the arms of the state, was strangely neglected in the same regard. Its main entrance, opening on the street, consisted of ordinary wooden doors, without the interposition between them and the public of even a brick wall. In the general plan of attack, the capture of this building, which held tactically the key to the defense of Charleston, in the event of a slave uprising, was assigned to Peter Poyas, the ablest of Vesey's lieutenants. Peter, probably disguised by means of false hair and whiskers, was at a given signal at midnight of the appointed day, to move suddenly with his band upon this important post. The difficulty of the undertaking lay in the vigilance of the sentinel doing duty before this building, and its success depended upon Peter's ability to surprise and slay this man before he could sound the alarm. Peter was confident of his ability to kill the sentinel and capture the building, and I think that he had good ground for his confidence. In conversation with an anxious follower, who feared lest the watchfulness of the guard might defeat the attempt, Peter remarked that he "would advance a little distance ahead, and if he could only get a grip at his throat he was a german, for his sword was very sharp; he had sharpened it, and made it so sharp it had cut his finger." And if to cast OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1924 AWARDED HIGHEST BOY SCOUT HONOR Joseph Dorsey of Troop 23, Dr. Craig Morris Scout Master, Given Badge of First Class Eagle Scout Joseph Dorsey, senior in Central High School, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Dorsey, 3643 Parker Street, and a member of Troop No. 23, Dr. Craig Morris, scoutmaster, has just been awarded the highest honor attainable by Boy Scouts. At the recent court of honor he was awarded the badge of First Class Eagle scout. He is the first colored scout in Omaha to receive this honor, which is a highly coveted one, and one of the few in the United States. Joseph is to be congratulated upon this honor and it is hoped that others of our local Boy Scouts will strive to merit this coveted distinction. INDIANS REFUSE U. S. MONEY Washington, D. C., June 6.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—For the first time in the history of government guardianship over the American red men, a group of Indians of the Colville Indian Reservation in the state of Washington have refused per capita payments due them in the distribution of their tribal funds. Checks amounting to a total of $1,260 and ranging from $30 to $180 have been returned to the President of the United States with a refusal by the Indians to accept the money. The president later turned the checks over to the Secretary of the Interior who has supervision of the Bureau of Indian affairs. F THE MART Days, Dealing With Slave I By Francis J. Grimke PART VI (By The Associated Negro Press) the last lingering doubt out of his disciple in regard to his (Peter's) ability to fix the sentinel, he showed him the bloody cut on his finger. Other leaders, at the head of their respective bands, were at the same time, and from six different quarters, to attack the city, surprising and seizing all of its strategic points, and the buildings, where were deposited its arms and ammunition. A body of insurent horsemen was, meanwhile, to keep the streets clear, cutting down without mercy all white persons and suspected blacks, whom they might encounter, in order to prevent the whites from concentrating or spreading the alarm through the doomed town. Such was Denmark's Vesey's masterly and merciless plan of campaign in bare outline for the capture of Charleston, a plan, which, with such a sagacious head as was Vesey, was entirely feasible, and which would have, undoubtedly, succeeded but for the happening of the unexpected at a critical stage of its execution. Against such an occurrence as was this one, no man in Vesey's situation, however supreme might have been his ability as a leader, could have completely provided. The element of treachery could not by any device have been wholly eliminated from his chap-Monitor—Three ter of accidents and chances. To do what he set out to do, with the means at his disposition, Vesey had of necessity to take the tremendous risk of betrayal at the hand of some black traitor. It was, in reality, sad to relate, his greatest risk, and became the one insurmountable barrier in his final success. Sunday at midnight of July 14, 1822, was fixed upon originally as the time for beginning his attack upon the city. But about the last of May, owing to indications that the plot had been discovered, he shortened the period of its preparation, and appointed instead midnight of Sunday, June 16th, of the same year. His reason for selecting the original date illustrates his careful and astute attention to details in making his plans. He had noted that the white population of Charleston was subject, to a certain extent, to regular tidal movements; that at one season of the year this movement was at high tide, and that at another it was at low tide. It was no great difficulty, under the circumstances, for a man like Denmark Vesey to forecast with reasonable accuracy these recurrent movements, and natural enough that he should have planned his attack with reference to them. And this ANNIVERSARY OF DEATH OF MADAM C. J. WALKER Indianapolis, June 6.—The Sunday just past marks the fifth year since the passing of the late Madam C. J. Walker, but Madam Walker is not forgotten. After all, however sad it is to realize that in the natural course of things we all must go, on the other hand it is heartening to know and feel that if we serve well and unselfishly we will not be forgotten. Madam Walker will not only live in the charities that she gave and the good that she did, but will live in the heart of every colored boy and girl and in the grateful consciousness of a struggling race. Madam C. J. Walker stands out as the premier philanthropist of her race, not because she was the first to give largely to the Y. M. C. A., but because her total philanthropic gifts are not even approached by any person of color. It must be remembered that in addition to her many other gifts, the large trust funds created, that she left $66,000.00 in cash bequests to individuals, schools and colleges throughout the country. Yes, Madam C. J. Walker will be remembered, loved and honored on down the ages. FLORIDA LYNCHERS MURDER TWO MEN Fort Myers, Fla., June 6—(By The Associated Negro Press)—“Bubbers” Wilson and Wilton Williams, accused of acting uppish with some white women, were shot to death by a mob here Monday. Wilson was taken from a sheriff, and Williams pulled off a freight train. was exactly what he did when he appointed July 14th as the original date for beginning the insurrection. At that time, the city was less capable than at an earlier date to cope with a slave uprising, owing to the departure in large numbers from it, for summer resorts, of its wealthier and more martial classes. Again his selection of the first day of the week in both instances was equally the result of careful calculation on his part, as on that day large bodies of slaves from the adjacent plantations and islands were wont to visit the town without molestation, whereas on no other day could this have been done. Thus, without exciting alarm, did Vesey plan to introduce his Trojan horse or country bands into the city, where they were to be concealed until the hour for beginning the attack. But the attack, carefully planned as it was, did not take place. For the thing which Peter Poyas feared, and had vainly endeavored to provide against, came to pass. One of those very "waiting men", for whom Peter entertained such deep distrust, and against whom he had raised his voice in sharp warning, betrayed to his master the plot, the secret which had been communicated to him by an overzealous convert, whose discretion was shorter than his tongue. All this happened on the morning of the 10th day of May, and by sunset of that day the secret was in possession of the authorities of the city. Precautionary measures were quickly taken by them to guard against surprise, and to discover the full extent of the intended uprising. Luckily for the conspirators the information given by the traitor was vague and general. Nor was the city able to elicit from the informant of this man, who had been promptly arrested and subjected to examination, any disclosures of a more specific or satisfactory character. He was, in truth, in possession of but few particulars of the plot, and was therefore unable to give any greater definiteness to the government's stock of knowledge relative to the subject. Suspicion, however, lighted on Peter Poyas and Mingo Harth, the last one of Vesey's minor leaders. They were thereupon apprehended, and their personal effects searched, but nothing was found to inculate either, except an enigmatical letter not understood by the authorities at the time. This circumstance, coupled with the coolness and consummate acting of the pair of suspected leaders, perplexed and deceived the authorities to such a degree that they ordered the discharge of the prisoners. But the fright and anxiety of the city were not so readily got rid of. They held Charleston uneasy and apprehensive of danger, and so kept it suspicious and watchful. (To be continued next week.) Whole Number 465 WILL MOBILIZE PEACE STRENGTH September 12 Fixed as Day for Call to Arms. BY JAMES P. HORNADAY Washington.-The plans for an army mobilization on the 12th of next September to demonstrate the peace strength of the country's military establishment are taking form. Secretary of War Weeks has approved the mobilization plan as outlined by the general staff and so it seems certain that the program for this demonstration as originally planned will be carried out. Orders relating to the details of the preparations for the mobilization will go out shortly to the corps area commanders and these commanders will communicate the details of the plan to regular army units within their jurisdiction and to O. R. C. commanders, to state adjutants general, etc. It is not proposed that the preparations for this demonstration shall place any considerable amount of work on the various units that go to make up the peace strength of the military establishment. It is explained that all the general staff here has in mind is that every organized body of men or women that would heed an actual call to arms in case of an emergency shall on the morning of September 12 come to attention, just as they would in case there was, actual trouble. Under the revised plan as approved by the secretary of war, hospital units, Red Cross units, boy scouts organizations, as well as all men who have attached themselves to the reserve corps of the army will be expected to report for duty on the morning of September 12. Summer Maneuvers The September mobilization is not to take the place of the regular summer maneuvers. In the Fifth corps area the regulars, the O. R. C. and the National Guard will follow this summer practically the same program they followed in the summer practice drills. In some of the corps areas the corps commanders are planning to have the various military units under them practice on mobilization in advance of the September 12 event. This is a matter, it is explained here, that is entirely in the hands of the corps commanders. General John J. Pershing has entered heartly into the spirit that is behind the September 12 demonstration. It may turn out, however, that this demonstration will not mark his retirement from the army, although he is eligible to retire on that day. Secretary Weeks has notified President Coolidge that he would like to have General Pershing remain at the head of the army a while longer. The general will, however, it is understood, retire as chief of staff on the day he becomes eligible for a place on the retirement list. Within the next year there will be some sort of a test of the industrial mobilization plan that has been worked out. Here is how the plan would presumably work out should there ever be another call to war: How It Would Work. Picture to yourself noon, the first day of open preparations. Telegrams are sent to the 14 district headquarters in the United States where procurement agents are located. From these radiate telegrams to thousands of manufacturing industries who immediately place into operation the conceived plans they had for the production of war material. The bird cage manufacturer turns to the making of fuses. Everything goes on a war basis. Reserve officers previously selected take their posts in the production program fully acquainted with their duties and with what has been planned and done to prepare the way. An automatic inventory of the most needed critical raw materials is immediately commenced. No plant in the country is overloaded beyond its capacity, none of them will find it impossible to obtain raw materials or power to carry on their program and if our plans are laid deeply enough there will be few, if any, industries which will have to lay down their work because their activities are so non-essential that they must be suspended and because they have been neglected in the placing of war orders. Equipped from the available war reserves the first two armies will, under the plan prepared by the general staff, be able to enter the theater of operations; and by the time the third army has been organized and trained, its equipment will be on hand. Bird's Calls Tell Time Hartford, Counn.-Scientists who have just returned from an exploration of uninhabited islands off the coast of Chile declared they found a bird whose cry tells the time of day. This creature, the jakar, is like a giant guinea hen. With its mates it screams at 5 p. m., again at midnight, and an hour before wakeup, its distant screams sounding like faint bugle notes.

Contest Nets $200 for Association COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT Votes From Other Contestants Which Are To Be Turned in Will Not Change Standing of Winners Prizes were awarded last Sunday afternoon at the regular monthly meeting of the Omaha Branch held at the North Side "Y" in the Popular Baby Contest which has been conducted by the N. A. A. C. P., under a committee of women, of which Mrs. John Albert Williams was chairman. An interesting program consisting of music, the reading of important communications and an excellent address by Mrs. Senora Mae Wilkinson on "The Relation of the N. A. A. C. P. to the Community" preceded the awarding of the prizes. Mrs. Frederick Divers on behalf of the committee announced the result of the contest which was as follows: Eleven babies had been entered of which seven reported, no reports up to that time having been received from four. This was the result showing the number of votes received and money turned in: Mary Heedy Wiggins ...1798—$89.90 Richard Stanton ...1557—77.85 Charlotte A. Hicks ...800—40.00 Edwina Divers ...200—10.00 Nonice Williams ...89—4.45 Edna B.

As the expenses of the contest will be in the vicinity of $30.00, which includes the prizes and printing, and additional returns are expected from some of the four babies from which reports had not been received, the amount netted for the work of the Association will be a little over $200. The committee will submit a supplementary report as soon as additional returns are in. St. Louis, Mo., June 6.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Announcement has been made by H. K. Craft, executive secretary of the Pine street branch of the Young Men's Christian Association here, that Julius Rosenwald, famous Chicago philanthropist and father of the system of Rosenwald schools in the South, has approved a gift of $25,000 toward a second Y. M. C. A. building for St. Louis colored men. KLAN IN POLITICS EVERYWHERE Washington, D. C., June 6.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—"Don't let anyone tell you that it isn't politics. Every man, every cent, every resource it has is swung to politics, not in Texas alone, but everywhere." Thus ended the testimony of Edward Young Clarke, former imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and center of numerous flavorable court controversies, before the senate committee which is investigating the election of Earle Mayfield, Texas solon. The charge has been made that the Klan elected Mayfield and that its manner of doing so was illegal. Clarke claimed that the Ku Klux Klan worked in every manner possible to influence elections in any state where it might have an interest. Money, he claimed, was sent from national headquarters into states where it was desired to put over a program. WINS PHI BETA KAPPA Tuskegee Institute, Ala., June 6. (By the Associated Negro Press.)

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK If there be some weaker one, Give me strength to help him on; If a blinder soul there be, Let me guide him nearer Thee. Make my mortal dreams come true, With the work I fain would do; Clothe with life the weak intent, Let me be the thing I meant; Let me find in Thy employ Peace that dearer is than joy; Out of self to love be led, And to heaven acclimated, Until all things sweet and good Seem my nature's habitude. SEGREGATION SEGREGATION means separating, setting aside or apart from others. It is a Latin derivative from SE, aside, and GREX or GREG, flock or herd. Its primary significance therefore is very plain, to set apart or herd together as sheep, oxen or cattle. The prime idea is that of group separation. Such separation is involuntary and is accomplished by external force. For example, a shepherd separates the goats from the sheep, or the sheep from the well or the lean from the fat. We are speaking now of the primary, root idea underlying the word segregation. It is quite necessary that we should understand this for the word as used in our American life in its application to and its effect upon our people it shows a distinct and decided reversal to type. This is explained by the social history of the term. The slave trade of which our race was the victim gave the Negro a status from which in the mind of the white people of this country we have never been emancipated. The slave was not a man, but a mere animal or chattel, the personal property of an owner, which he could set aside or sell or dispose of according to his interest or whim just as he might do with his sheep, oxen, cattle, hogs or any other animal. This idea of the status of the Negro, as an animal, a chattel, has become a fixed one in the mind of the average white American, colors his thought and unconsciously warps his judgment. This is an inheritance and has become a tradition for "this social attitude toward the people of color of these United States, intrenched and forbidden by profit and privilege, persisted with legal sanction and religious justification for approximately half a thousand years."

John Alber Box 1204, A PRAYER FOR DELI PREL By Morne (For the Associ GOD, who hast made who dost love all whom because of difference 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. 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. The custom of setting the race aside has perpetuated this social attitude, and accounts for the obsession to segregate the colored American and to do everything to continue his status as that of a thing or chattel and not a man. Acceptance of segregation, without protes', is an acknowledgment that we are less than men. And this is the status of the Negro today in the mind of the average American and accounts for all the evils of segregation, which include inferior wages for the same identical work, inferior accommodations in travel where Jim Crow cars are the vogue, and colored passengers are compelled to pay first class fare for third rate service; inferior schools where separate systems obtain; inferior and often unsanitary living conditions in ghettos and districts of many cities. Opposition to segregation upon the part of the colored American is simply his fight for the status of a man and not that of a mere animal or chattel. It is a just contention for his rights as an American citizen, nothing less than this and nothing more. Unless the constitution of the United States is a damnable lie; the Stars and Stripes the symbol of oppression and injustice segregation of American citizens is absolutely indefensible and unjustifiable. NOT FUNDAMENTALLY HYPOCRITICAL WE differ radically from many of our people who contend that white people, as a class, are congenitally, fundamentally and constitutionally unfair, untruthful, dishonest and hypocritical in their attitude toward and their dealings with colored folk. We do not think this is true because we believe in the inherent integrity and moral sense of humanity. We believe that fundamentally and at heart all men desire to be just and fair in their dealings with another. We believe that man's moral nature imposes this desire and duty upon him. We do not believe that white men desire to be unjust towards black or black towards white. That injustice abounds one can deny. That the weaker is the victim of injustice at the hand of the stronger is unquestionably true; but that the dominant group, anywhere—and here it is the white folks—is consciously, wilfully, wantonly, congenitally and constitutionally untruthful, unfair and hypocritical in its dealing with the subordinate group we do not hold to be true. Unfairness there is and much of it, but it is traceable to false Sale of Monitor Art Williams Omaha, Neb. RIVERANCE FROM RACE BUDICE Art Williams education and faulty thinking. That prejudice, whether racial or religious, which is the parent of injustice, is not congenital or inherent is shown by its absence in the case of little children. They are absolutely void of it. They know nothing of prejudice until taught by their elders. Doesn't this throw a flood of light upon the Divine Master's words, "Except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven?" Because of unfairness upon the part of individuals and manifest hypocrisy, dishonesty, and deceit upon the part of many, let us not lose faith in the inherent goodness and sense of justice of humanity nor become cynical or bitter! "We have more friends than foes among the Anglo-Saxon race." DEPRAVITY IT IS almost inconceivable to believe that youths who have been given every educational advantage that wealth can procure could be so depraved and lacking in moral sense as to deliberately murder a fourteen year old boy simply "in the spirit of adventure" and "to have a thrill." These youths, be it noted, belong to "the superior race." How much more horrible this depravity would be considered had these hapless degenerates possessed black skins instead of white.

Washington.—A man from the desert has forsaken the great barren spaces for the whirl of Washington social and diplomatic life. But for A. M. Hassanein Bey, first secretary of the Egyptian legation, the moonlight nights, sandstorms and hardships of the desert are more attractive than the elaborate ballrooms and colorful receptions which are inseparable adjuncts to diplomatic life in America. Hassanein Bey is one of Egypt's favorite sons. While only in his thirty-fourth year, he has won distinction as a soldier, athlete, adventurer, scholar and horseman. He is a true Egyptian and his love is for the desert and for his people is profound. If you were to meet Hassainein you would see a young man of medium height, slender and wiry of body. A neat black mustache, a pair of piercing jet eyes and a head of neatly groomed, coal-black hair give his lean, olive-complexioned face the stamp of oriental romance. His four years at Oxford university are reflected in his speech. His English is as nearly perfect as his native language. He is now writing a book in the English language of his adventures in trekking across more than 5,000 miles of desert waste. Hassainein is the best swordsman in Egypt. Each day you may find him practicing with his instructor at the Racquet club, preparing himself for competition in the Olympic games. Aside from this, his skill with his hands, keen sight and speed make him a feared opponent with boxing gloves. He is fond of boxing and played hockey while in England. He loves horses—but best of all his Baraka, a chestnut horse, which he considers the best in his native land for desert travel. Most of all he loves adventure. "It's more or less inherent in every one of us." "I am favorably impressed with America and her people," he said. "I admire American women. They are very energetic and seem much interested in community work. I don't think they are surpassed anywhere." --- Copyright Underwood & Underwood Dr. Walter H.

THE PURPOSE OF THE COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUF OF OMAHA 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 very 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. 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. R. L. WILLIAMS, Commissioner. SIX ROOMS AND DOUBLE GARAGE Strictly modern six-room home, all on one floor.

"AMERICAN WAY" "The English Way" with the race problem pleases Robert Herrick better than the American way, according to his article in the New York Nation this week. Mr. Herrick is a contributing editor of The Nation and author of various novels, of which the latest, called "Waste", has just appeared. He found himself not long ago on the British island of Careacou in the Caribbean—an island whose population of about 2,000 consists of colored people and a mere handful of white officials. "I had no preconceived formulas about the race question," he writes, "and so I give what I saw and felt for what it may be worth." "I had two stock questions that I put to the white officials: 'How many crimes of violence have occurred in your jurisdiction in the last two years?' Sometimes they had to go back four and five years to find a case of first class assault or murder. Compare that with any rural district of a similar density of population, either North or South, in the United States! — — My other question was: 'Can a white woman of the upper class go safely anywhere at any time of day or night in your island unescorted?' The answer to this was a stare of surprise. 'Of course! Why not?" The English government, according to Mr. Herrick, wants the Negroes who live in places like Careacou, under British rule, to govern themselves loyalty. His account of his visit is sufficient testimony to the success of the plan. He will take up French colonies in an article about the island of Martinique, to appear in The Nation next week. A CORRECTION In the report of the operetta, "A Nautical Knot", published in last week's issue, the name of Miss Lucy Mae Allen, who took the character of "Nance" was omitted. The sentence should have read: "Miss Lucy Mae Allen as 'Nance' . . . interpreted her part with feeling and intelligence." Quaker Maid Married New York.—A Quaker malden and a Quaker youth gave their marriage vows, one to the other, in the modest Friends' meeting house near Grumery park, in East Twentieth street. It was the same simple ceremony, used entirely without the services of a minister, which William Penn and his faithful followers introduced into America 242 years ago. It remains the simplest and briefest nuptial pledge used in this country today. Standing face to face in the little, unadorned meeting room, Henry Eckroyd Kirk, Jr., of Egleshames, Pa., and Enid Mary Richardson of Passaic N. J., repeated to each other the 33 words which constitute the marriage vow according to the tenets of the Friends' religion. There was no minister to read the pledges—no minister pronouncement of man and wife. Only the placing of one hand within the other and a pledge spoken in the sight of God and man. $10 a Ton for Old Warships London.-Since the armistice, obsolete warships of approximately 2,250,000 tons have been sold.

Officials declare it developed into a high-grade of book paper. --- Tapestries Bring High Prices London.—High prices were paid by French and English collectors for tapestries, when the late duke of Brunswick-Luneburg's collection came up for auction.

THE MONITOR TO SEEK DATA IN FAR NORTH TO SEEK DATA IN FAR NORTH Captain Bartlett Sails for Arctic on the Bear. Washington.—Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, famous Arctic explorer and companion of Peary on his successful polar trip, has been commissioned by the National Geographic society to gather data in the Far North in preparation for future arctic explorations of the Arctic regions. Captain Bartlett is aboard the United States coast guard ship, the Bear, America's most famous "ship of peace," from which he will make his observations during the Bear's annual cruise in Alaskan and Siberian waters. A romantic feature of the voyage is the fact that the ship which went to rescue Greely, now, in making what may be her last trip, helps pave the way for future air exploration of the Arctic. Captain Bartlett will study especially the locations available in Alaska for bases of operation for aircraft which would fly a zigzag course over the million square mile area between Point Barrow and the North pole—which area is wholly unexplored. He will report upon harbor facilities for supply ships, possible landing places for various types of craft between Nome and Point Barrow, the terrain across country and along the coast between those points, and upon air and water temperature, wind and sea surface conditions. The Navy department has extended Captain Bartlett every co-operation in his work, which will be of great value as a basis of explorations such as those proposed when the Shenandah's North pole trip was planned. As the foremost living authority on practical navigation of Arctic waters Captain Bartlett was named a member of the polar expedition board, and during the consideration of the Shenandah's flight he furnished much valuable data. An air exploration of the unknown million square miles between Point Barrow and the pole probably would be made in summer months, a time of year when no explorer ever went there, because the unbroken ice of winter is essential for surface travel. Ice floes and open water are aids to air operations in the North, while the summer months promise comfortable flying temperatures and 24 hours of daylight. "The lure of a million square miles of unknown area, which may reveal land bodies that will be of use when commercial air routes are established across the pole remains a challenge to America," said Captain Bartlett, before he departed. "Our flag files at the pole and at Point Barrow—it is up to Americans to find and claim what lies between." On Golden Anniversary Trip. The historic vessel, on her golden anniversary trip will sail out of Seattle, going north to Unalaska, the Pribilof islands, to St. Lawrence and St. Michael Islands, to Nome, and thence to ports of call where mission stations and Eskimo schools are visited. She will touch Point Barrow and cruise back to Bering Strait, probably going along the Siberian coast on both sides of the strait. The Bear was launched 50 years ago this spring from the ways at Grennock, Scotland, and was a Dundee sealer before the United States government bought her. Every year since 1883 she has made the lonesome cruise far beyond the white men's frontiers to administer law among Uncle Sam's Eskimo wards and protect his remote property on seal islands. While the Bear is in Arctic regions she is judge, jury and clergyman. An incident of a recent voyage was the return of an Eskimo maiden to Nome as a witness against a young Eskimo who, having murdered a fellow Eskimo and a missionary, fared forth to set up "the Empire of the Eskimos." The commander holds court, marries, and conducts funeral services, and the crew aid the schools, attend the sick, and perform numerous errands of mercy. Hunter Kills Cougar Portland, Ore.—Edgar E. Watkins, government hunter of Grant county, killed one cougar with an automatic 22-caliber pistol and wounded another. Watkins was out hunting rabbits to use as coyote trap bait when he came face to face with two cougars. He was about thirty feet from them when they came in sight. Watkins had carried a rifle many a day expecting to meet a cougar. But in the history of the biological survey hunters in Oregon, dating back a decade, none had ever killed a cougar in the eastern part of the state. So Watkins didn't have his rifle. His automatic pistol was his only weapon. Knowing full well that a 22-caliber bullet is not expected to make a showing against a big cat, and realizing that the animals if wounded might turn on him, Watkins nevertheless opened fire. Fortunately for him neither attempted to attack him. Instead they tried to flee. As the smaller one, a yearling, turned, Watkins dropped him. At the older beast, apparently the mother, Watkins sent four shots which, blood stains in the snow told, took effect. By Mary White Owington Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "From 'Superman' to Man." By J. A. Roberts. Published by The Lenox Publishing Company, 2372 7th Avenue, New York City. Price $1.50. Postage 10c. Anyone who wants to be provided with an enormous stock of information confuting the doctrine of white racial superiority should own this book. It depicts a Negro porter of unfailing humor and courtesy debating the race question with a rabid Southern senator. Of course, the author makes the Negro convert his antagonist. Whether he would have done this in real life in very doubtful but he would certainly have silenced him. For the Southerner speaks as most of us would speak on any question that we might chance to debate on a train, from personal observation and from causal reading; whereas, the Negro speaks from a life-long study of his subject. Moreover he has traveled much and can cite instances of customs among people from Missouri to Madagascar. He meets the antagonist fairly and at every point of the bout worsts him. The Southerner goes to be furious, sure that he will never argue with the "Nigger" again, and yet impelled to take up the battle on the morrow. His conversion at the end, his offering the porter a better job, is a bit of unfortunate sentimentalism. It makes the story unreal, whereas it might have ended on a clever note. After the Negro has gotten the better of the senator on every point; on salvery, which he shows was common among white as well as black; on sexual passion, he scores very well there; on intermarriage, his facts regarding intermarriage, he takes the city of Chicago as an example, are illuminating; after his thrusts have again and again struck home, the senator asks: "What would you offer as a solution of the problem?" To which the porter replies, "A sense of humor." "Name something easier," wisely says the white man. It is this sly sense of humor, which makes the book something more than the platitudinous recital of race equality that is often dished up to us. The porter is poking fun at his antagonist a great deal of the time. He is amused at him. He knows just how to knock the props from under his opponent's arguments and then enjoys with the unmost politeness the Southerner's discomfort. The first night, the senator roars, the second night he fumes, the last night he asks his questions almost with an air of humility. It would be wonderful if such a debate as this happened in real life. There is no reason that it shouldn't—except for the porter. He is too heroic to be anywhere but in fiction. Such self-control would be worthy of the Spingin Medal. But many might try to approach him. And they could nowhere go for better ammunition with which to do this than to the pages of "From 'Superman' to Man." A. P.

B. R. Berry, ansistant director of the Thomson research laboratory of the General Electric company, an Rounced that he hud enlisted the serv- fees of Dr. W. T. Bovie, professor of biophysics at Harvard medical school, and Dr. Clarence ©. Little of the Uni- versity of Maine and their Institutions to further Important experiments in the use of fused quartz. ‘The property which makes fused quartz stand. out above all others is {ts ability to transmit ultra-violet rays, the healing chemical rays which, emit- ted by the sun, cause sunburn, These rays are excluded by ordinary window ‘ass. ‘Now that Mr. Berry has made it possible to produce fused quarts in quantities, efforts are being made to learn whether {t will be practicable to ‘use the material in the extensive man- ‘facture of electric bulbs. Independent of the Sun. “Ut we can provide artificial illumt- nants that will emit ultra-violet rays we won't have to depend on the sun, which ts so uncertain in winter,” sald Doctor Bovie. “We can get the sun's effects on cloudy days by using quartz bulbs or tubes with incandescent Hight.” Doctor Bovie is planning to erect en the grounds of Harvard univer- sity a greenhouse glassed with quarts fo which will be determined certain effects of the rays upon growing plants with a view to applying any knowl- edge thus gained to {mproving human health or preventing human diseases. Experiments with a simflar object are to be made in the University of Maine laboratories, where conditions are con- sidered especially favorable. While those who have undertakep the experiments with quartz desire to refrain from raising false hopes as to the possibility of curing or preventing eertain stubborn diseases, they feel en- couraged that infant mortality from rickets, particularly in crowded cities, may be farther reduced as a result of the work. “We all know that exclusion of light Fesults in the blanching of plants.” said Doctor Bovie. “They may become ‘more succulent for table purposes, but their tissues are not stout and well @eveloped. This is because calcium ‘and phosphorus salts are not deposit- @d in the absence of the ultra-violet rays in sunlight. “Similarly, If bables are submitted to the same absence of sunlight, or of ultra-violet rays, their bones do not ‘row, and hence rickets set in. This is a common disease, how common Is not generally realized. It is perhapa Uttle realized, elther, that it 1s prev- alent among the babies of the well-to- do who are not allowed to play in the streets. “Remember that playing in the sun, behind window ginss, does not expose the children to these beneficial rays. However, quartz windows which do admit these rays are now entirely within the bounds of possibility as @ result of Mr. Berry's work. The Havoc of Aickete. “But to get back to rickets. Autop- sles on babies in Dresden showed that of those who were born in the fall und died @ the spring, 96 per cent hud rickets. Of those who were born in the spring and died in the fall only & very small percentage had rickets. ‘The babies born in the spring were Outdoors in the sunlight during the summer.” ‘After remarking that the sun's ef- fects could be obtained on cloudy days by the use of quartz bulbs, Doctor Boyle added: “Certain foods act sympathetically to sunlight. It is not Mmconceivable that we could light our restaurants with sources of ultra-vio Tet light so that while partaking of foods rich in phosphorus and calclum ‘we could partake of light energy that would enable us to utilize these salts fa normal manner. “There are diseases other than rick- ‘ets which are due to faulty metabol- fam, the ‘machine gun sneeze’ Is one. Buch diseases might be alleviated by feeding calcium lactate and using ul tra-violet light in connection with It. “Altogether, the avallability of quarts suggests very interesting possl- Pilities, With Doctor Little we are undertaking the investigation of the effects of the ultra-violet rays on the calcium metabolism of milch cows, The object, of course, is to see if ‘the rays can have any effect on the milk we feed our babies. It in not im- probable, Other animals feel the ef- fect of the lack of these rays. Deep- ‘sea fish do not produce bones, though Living in water prodigally saturated ‘with calcium salts. Fish of the same ‘fmpecies living in the upper water, where the sun rays strike through, ave bones in profusion. -Ultea-Vielet Rays for Poultry. “Likewise poultrymen in the North ‘unable to grow chickans for early f “satisfactorily, ln the dark CARD OF THANKS ‘We desire to express our sincere thanks to our many friends for their kindness to us during the illness and death of our beloved daughter and sis- ter, Edith, and for the tender sym- ‘conveyed in the many floral ens sae Mr. snd Mrs. John Adams and Famtly. Advertise in The Monitor: periment station exposed hens to ul tra-violet rays ten minutes a day and doubled thelr egg production. Fur ther, the weight of the individual egg was increased 20 per cent. “I am personally convinced that pin trees in our forests, deprived of light, suffer from rickets Just as humans do We shall hang ultra-violet quart Ughts about the woods In the course of our experiments and see what the result is.” Doctor Bovle pointed out that the ‘employment of ultra-violet rays 1s not new, that they were used by Egyp- tans, Romans and Greeks, but that ‘thelr chemical nature was not known. Thelr (dentification and control are of recent accomplishment, Among oth- ers, Finsen in Copenhagen succeeded in curing @ skin form of tuberculosis and In showing the beneficial effecte In the treatment of smallpox. = “In America, however, progress has deen retarded and some such event fas the production of this quartz has been needed to redirect attention to the subject,” said Dr. Bovle. “Amer- fean doctors did not understand the aclentife side of ultra-violet therapy. Ita use developed into a bad farm of quackery. Apparatus called ultra-vio lent lamps which did not emit any of the rays Finsen relied upon were used. ‘The result has been that many reputable physiclans of America have refused to have anything to do with 1" Essence of Sunlight the Year Round ‘Those conducting experiments with fused quartz point out that If the new quartz merely makes it possible event: ually for the average home to have the essence of sunlight, artificial or natural, the year round, In bad weath- er and g00d, Its meaning in health to countless thousands who, “grown un- der glass” have been deprived of the Denefictal qualities of sunlight, heat excepted, Is likely to prove measure less, It 1s belleved that the action of the ultra-violet ray 1s sufficiently well known to make this possibility a pre @iction and that indoor lving, or res- {dence in regions overcast for long pe- rlods, need not be so hazardous In the future. If the views of some sclen- tists are to be accepted, Mr. Berry will be regarded as the man who made “perpetual sunshine” possible. “There are now opened possibilities of studying the effect of ultra-violet rays on the fundamental instinct of migration and hibernation and upon the inherited characters of animals and plants,” according to President Little. “It will be possible also to ‘compare the effect of ultra-violet and X-rays on identical material. “Also, the fact that strains of mice at the university's Inboratory have Tong been used for research with can- cer lays open a field of prospective value in the relation between ultra- violet rays and blology and medicine.” Cost of World War Is Fixed at $80,680,000,000 New York.—A book, “The Inter-Ally Debts,” published by the Bankers ‘Trust company, estimates the total cost of the World war at $80,680,000, (000 gold. ‘That sum would reproduce all the railway mileage of the world, with more than $20,000,000,000 to spare for other uses. During nearly two hundred and twenty-six years there were eight ma. Jor wars, each at what was considered fan enormous cost at the time. ‘The ware of William IIT cost $150,000,000, the War of Austrian Succession $200, 000,000, and the Seven Years' war $860, (000,000. ‘The American war cost $500, 000,000 and the French wars, from 1782 to 1815, about $6,000,000,000 Later, the Orimean war cost $350,000, 000, and finally, the Boer war cost ‘about $1,500,000,000. In spite of all that, the total cost of government for Great Britain in that period amounted to but $58,000,000,000. ‘As for our own government, the total cost from 1701 until 1914, Including the costs of the War of 1812, of the Mexican war, of the Civil war, of the Indian campaigns and of the Spanish war, together with pensions, purchase of Loulsians, Alaska and payment for the Philippines, as well as the cost of building the Panama canal, all com- bined, amounted to $24,500,000,000— leas than one-third the cost of the ‘World war. “Wonder Child” Puzzle to Russian Physicians Moseow.—Soviet Russia has pfo- duced a “wonder child,” a boy four years and ten months old, named Vic- tor, son of a Vladivostok physician, who already wears a full beard of whiskers and is able to throw a full- grown man in a wrestling match. The Tearned professor, Leontlef, and Ms colleague, Doctor Bostk, who exam- ined Victor, speak about hypertrophical development, the thyroid, pancreatic and other glands and a “mysterious malady” from which the child ts sut- fering. But Victor continues to grow Gespite them and their treatment.
