JURY EXONERATES MR. DALE Police Arrest Minzie's Accomplices—Man Wounded in Shoulder With Buckshot Gives Clue to Officers. Homer Dale, chauffeur for Walter W. Head, president of the Omaha National bank, shot and instantly killed John Minzie, of Chicago, and wounded his partner in crime, Joe Fox of Hammond, Ind., last Monday night as they were attempting to burglarize the Head residence, which has been visited by burglars several times within the last few months. Mr. Dale and his wife, who were the sole occupants of the home, Mr. Head being in the east and Mrs. Head in Europe, occupy rooms on the third floor. Hearing the door bell ring Mr. Dale came downstairs, but did not turn on the light. He saw two men on the porch acting suspiciously. He procured a shot gun and went into the parlor. The men forced open the window and as Minzie was in the act of entering Dale fired and opening the door rushed out, both burglaries jumped off the porch, and ran, Dale firing again. Minzie fell dead within fifteen feet of the porch and his companion jumping over the fence entered an awaiting car in which were two women who screamed when they heard the shots and escaped. Tuesday the police took into custody Joe Fox, wounded in the shoulder, and his wife and Mrs. Minzie, who were the women in the car. Burglar's tools were found on the person of the slain man. A coroner's jury exonerated Dale and commended him for his prompt action. ROOSEVELT POST AMERICAN LEGION INVITES ALL EX-SERVICE MEN Theodore Roosevelt Post No. 20, American Legion, will hold a dance at Dreamland Hall, Monday evening, June 23, 1924, at which time all ex-service men and eligible dependants will be given an opportunity to register for the bonus. Roosevelt Post is entering upon a series of activities all for the purpose of promoting the interest of our people in the city in this organization. Without appeals for funds from the public this post has materially assisted disabled and needy ex-service men and their families on numerous occasions. In 1917 the public was intensely interested in the welfare of their boys who so valiantly marched off to the different camps. Many of these same boys then so strong and healthy are now disabled and they and their families are in need. We, their buddies, ask you to show that same spirit of patriotism in 1924 by helping us to make this affair a success. Will you help us to carry a Buddy's Pack?

A "CATHOLIC TUSKEGEE" (Lincoln News Service) Baltimore, June 13.—The Cardinal Gibbons Institute has been founded at Ridge, St. Mary's County, Md., under the direction of prominent Catholic clergy and members of the laity, as a movement to fulfill the duties of members of the Catholic faith to the Colored race. There are about 250,000 Catholic Negroes in the United States, and it is intended to provide this national trade school to supplement the 125 small parochial schools and eight special schools now in existence for Negroes. Archbishop Michael J. Curley, of Baltimore, is president of the board of trustees, assisted by Admiral William S. Benson, U. S. Shipping Board, as chairman of the executive committee, and Senator David I. Walsh, of Massachusetts, chairman of the finance committee. This institution is located in the midst of the largest group of Catholic Negroes in the country and will devote itself toward training Catholic Negro leaders to work for and among their own race. The Misses Gladys Brown and Andrea Truech returned to Lincoln Monday to attend the summer session of the University of Nebraska. --- THE MONITOR PROPYLENE IS LATEST ANESTHETIC DISCOVERED Can Be Administered Without Injury From Poisonous Property of Gas, Says Savant. New Orleans, La.—Discovery of a new anesthetic was announced by Dr. John T. Halsey, professor of pharmacology and therapeutics at Tulane university, in a paper read before the Orleans Medical society. The anesthetic is propylene gas, contained in some natural gas, and which Doctor Halsey and his laboratory assistants, Chapman Reynolds and Harold B. Cook, the three of whom discovered its properties, believe can be manufactured from mineral oils. Doctor Halsey's announcement came after several months of laboratory work by his assistants and himself. "Propylene is similar to ethylene, the discovery of whose anesthetic properties, announced last year in Chicago, was hailed with enthusiasm by the medical profession, and resulted in its extensive use in surgical cases," said Doctor Halsey. Doctor Hulsey said the apparent superiority of propylene was due to the fact that it was active even thought considerably diluted with oxygen. An anesthetic depends for its usefulness on its possible administration in sufficient strength to obtain complete anesthesia, without injury from poisonous property of the gas, he pointed out. Oxygen must be administered mixed with the gas, and it therefore is essential that the anesthetic itself be of sufficient strength to bring about complete unconsciousness, even when inhaled considerably diluted with oxygen.

Character Is Security New York.—Holding that the character of self-supporting college students is good security for loans, the Harmon foundation of New York has instituted a plan by which its funds are lent to selected students with the expectation that the money will be repaid after graduation. "The foundation does not lend money directly to students," says the United States bureau of education, in describing the plan, "but makes an arrangement with the presidents of certain colleges by which a stated sum is assigned for the use of students. When the plan is introduced into a college, a faculty committee of three is appointed by the president, and students in the junior and senior classes may apply to this committee for loans up to the maximum of $250. "An advisory committee is then elected from their number by the students chosen to receive the loans, and this committee assists the faculty committee in choosing the beneficiaries for the next year. "All loans are to be paid in full with 6 per cent interest. In addition, 10 per cent more than the amount actually received by each student is included in the note which he signs on obtaining the loan. This excess amount is used to make up losses caused by nonrepayment of loans, and four-fifths of it is used to cover losses incurred by defaults within the borrower's own group."

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1924 A STORY OF THE MARTYRS OF 1822 A Story of Ante-Bellum Days, Dealing With Slave Insurrection at Charleston TRAVELLORS TO VIEW COLUMBUS' TOMB (By Associated Negro Press) Havana, Cuba., June 13.—Among the famous spots to be viewed by travellers on the Aladdin Cruise to the West Indies next January will be the burial place of Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of the New World. After two removals, his bones lie in a crypt in the great Cathedral at Havana. He was first buried in Spain but later it was thought more appropriate to re-inter his bones in San Domingo, where he had founded his chief colony. Two hundred years after his death, San Domingo having been ceased to France, the Spaniards again removed his remains to Havana. The route of the Aladdin Cruise which is to include a number of prominent Colored Americans, lies among the very islands which Columbus and his followers viewed with awe stuck eyes in 1492. SPRINGFIELD, MANS., BABY CONTEST BRINGS $313 FOR N. A. A. C. P A popular baby contest recently held in Springfield, Fass., has netted $313 for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced recently. The prize winning babies were as follows: Donald A. Peters, 22 months, brought in $100, winning first prize of $10 in gold; Margaret P. Jones, 9 months old, brought in $72.50, winning second prize of $55 in gold; and Edward S. Poole, 3 years old, brought in $36.05, winniew third prize of $2.50 in gold. Prepare yourselves, boys and girls, your chance will come. Be ready. Things remained in this state of watchful anxiety, on both sides, for about a week. Vesey on his part remitted nothing of his preparations for the coming 16th of June, but pushed them if possible with increased vigor and secrecy. He held the while nocturnal meetings at his house on Bull street, where modified arrangements for the execution of his plans were broached and matured. How he dared at this juncture to incur such extreme hazard of detection, it is difficult to understand. But he and his confederates were men of the most indomitable purpose, and took in the desperate circumstances, in which they were then placed, the most desperate chances. They had to. They could not do otherwise. The city on its side, was listening during a part of the same week to a second confession of that poor fellow whose tongue had outmeasured his discretion. It was listening with reviving dread to the wild and incoherent disclosures of this man, whom it had flung into the black hole of the workhouse. There, crazed by misery and fear of death, he raved about a plot among the blacks to massacre the whites and to put the town to fire and pillage. This second installment of William Paul's excited disillusions, while it increased the sense of impending peril, did not put the government in better position to avt it. For groping in the dark still, it knew not yet where or whom to strike. But in this period of horrible suspense and uncertainty it, suspicion fell on another one of Vesey's principal leaders. This time it was on Ned Bennett that the city's distrustful eye fastened. Like that game which children play where the object of search is hidden, and where the seekers as they approach near and yet nearer to the place of concealment, grow warm and then warmer, so was the city, in its terrible search for the source of its danger, growing hot and hotter. That was, indeed, a frightful moment for the conspirators when Ned Bennett became suspected. The city, as the children say in their game, was beginning to burn, for it seemed as if it must at the next move, thrust its iron hand into that underground world where the plot was hatching, and clutching the heart of the great enterprise, snatch it, conspiracy and conspirators, into the light of day. But it was at such a tremendous moment of danger, that the leaders, unawed by the imminency of discovery, took a step to throw the city off the scent, so daring, dextrous and unexpected as to knock the breath out of us. Ned Bennett, whom the city was watching as a cat, before springing watches a mouse, went voluntarily before the Intendant or Mayor of the city, and asked to be examined, if so DON MARQUIS, N. Y. HERALD COLUMNIST DENOUNCES THE KU KLUX KLAN Urges Protestant Ministers to Combat Hooded Body as a Duty to Them- selves and the Country. New York, June 13.—Don Marquits, author, poet and conductor of "The Lantern," a column on the editorial page of the New York Herald-Tribune, has denounced the Ku Klux Klan as a menace to America and urged the Protestant ministers of the country to lead in the fight against the hooded organization. Mr. Marquis asks whether the Klan, if victorious, intends to deprive Catholics, Jews and Negroes of their share in citizenship, and if not, why the Klan should continue to exist. America, he continues is not a Christian country as the founders very carefully provided that anyone should have freedom to believe, or not believe, anything he pleased: "They were determined that a man might be a Buddhist, an Atheist, a Baptist, a Catholic, a Pharisee, a Moslem, a Jew, without suffering for his convictions, without giving up his political privileges. "If this policy is overthrown, either formally and frankly by a change in the Constitution, or indirectly nullified by political trickery, it is goodnight to America and all that America might have meant in the larger history of humanity. "The Protestant ministers of America owe it to themselves, to their churches and to their country to organize and lead a strenuous fight against the Ku Klux Klan." F THE MARTY Days, Dealing With Slave I By Francis J. Grimke (By The Associated Negro Press) be he was an object of suspicion to the authorities. Ned was so surprisingly cool and indifferent, and wore so naturally an air of conscious innocence, that a great many were again deceived and the city was thus thrown a second time out of the course of its game. Ned's arrest and examination were postponed, as the authorities in their perplexity were afraid to take at the time any decisive action, lest it might prove premature and abortive. And so lying on its arms, the city waited and watched for fresh developments and disclosures, while the insurgent leaders, in their underground world watched warily too, and pushed forward with undiminished confidence final preparations, when they would, out of the dark, strike suddenly their liberating and annihilating blow. This awful state of suspense, of the most watchful suspicion and anxiety on one side, and of wary and anxious preparations on the other, continued for about five or six days, when it was ended by a second act of treachery emanating from the distrusted class of "waiting men," whose highest aspirations did not seem to reach above their masters' cast off garments. Unlike the first, the information furnished to the authorities by the second traitor, was not lacking in definiteness. For this fellow knew what he was talking about. He knew almost all of the leaders, and many particulars connected with the plot. The city was thus placed in possession of the secret. It knew now the names of the ringleaders. But confident, apparently, of its ability to throttle the intended insurrection, it allowed two days to pass and the 16th of June, without making any arrests. Cat-like it crouched ready to spring, while it followed the unconscious movements of the principal conspirators. For Vesey and his principal officers were at the time, ignorant of the second betrayal, and therefore of the fact that they were from the 14th of June at the mercy of the police. On Saturday night, June 15th, an incident occurred, however, which warned them that they were betrayed, and that disaster was close at hand. This incident revealed as by a flash of lightning the hopelessness of their position. On that day Vesey had instructed one of his aides, Jesse Blackwood, to go into the country in the evening for the purpose of preparing the plantation slaves to enter the city on the day following, which was Sunday, June 16th. --- HONORS IN NEW ENGLAND'S EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS (By Associated Negro Press) Boston, Mass., June 13.—George D. Crosson, short stop, was one of the fifteen baseball players to receive recently the Boston University insignia. From the committee on publicity for the Colored race as organized by the race relation section of the Federation of Churches have come two outstandin instances of persistence and courage, plus talent, of two young Colored girls, who have fought their way to the top in two of Boston's educational institutions. Miss Ethelyne Probst of Dayton, O., has just received the degree of Bachelor of Literary Interpretation from the Emerson College of Oratory, and was chosen to read at the graduating exercises. Miss Dorothy Boulding, Newport News, Va., has completed her medical course at Tufts' College and will soon put out her shingle as a full fledged M. D. Miss Battie H. Fortune of Boston has graduated from the two year course of the Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst, Mass. OUR WOMEN VOTERS (By Associated Negro Press) Washington, June 13.—Of the nearly three million Colored females of voting age in the United States, slightly more than 800,000 live in the northern and border states where their votes will be counted in the coming national election. The State of Tennessee leads in this respect, Maryland, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio. Due to the call of industry the Colored males of voting age in these same states outnumber the females, and our total number of voters will closely approximate 1,750,000. the time fixed for beginning the insurrection. Jesse was unable to discharge this mission either on Saturday night or Sunday morning, owing to the increased strength and vigilance of the city police and of its patrol guard. He had succeeded on Sunday morning in getting by two of their lines, but at the third line he was halted and turned back into the city. When this ominous fact was reported to the Old Chief, Vesey became very sorrowful. He and the other leaders must have instantly perceived that they were caught as in a trap, and that the end was near. It was probably on this Sunday that they destroyed their papers, lists of name and other incriminating evidence. The shadow of the approaching catastrophe deepened and spread rapidly around and above them as they watched and waited helplessly under the huge asp of slavery, which enraged and now completely coiled, was about to strike. The stroke fell first on Peter, Rolla, Ned and Batteau Bennett. The last, although but a boy of eighteen, was one of the most active of the younger leaders of the plot. So secret and profound had been his methods of operations in the underground world, that the early reports of his connection with the conspiracy, were generally discredited among the whites. Jesse Blackwood was taken the next day, and four days later, on June 27th, Monday Gell was arrested. Gullah Jack eluded the search of the police until July 5th when he too was struck by the hugh slave asp. In all, there were one hundred and thirty-one blacks arrested, sixty-seven convicted, thirty-five executed, and thirty-seven banished beyond the limits of the United States. Five of these last were of the class of suspects, whom it was the right best to get rid of. Of the whole number of convictions, not one belonged to the bands of either Vesey, or Peter, or Rolla, or Ned, and but few to that of Gullish Jack's. Absolutely true did these five leaders prove to their vow of secrecy, and so died without betraying a single associate. This alas! cannot be said of Monday Gell, who brave and loyal as he was throughout the period of his arrest and trial, yet after sentence of death had been passed upon him, and under the influence of a terror stricken companion, succumbed to temptation, and for the sake of life, consented to bertay his followers. Denmark, Peter, Rolla, Ned, Batteau and Jesse, were hanged together, July 2, 1822. Ten months later Gullah Jack suffered death on the gallows also. Upon an enormous gallows, erected on the lines near Charleston, twenty-two of the black martyrs to freedom were executed on te 22nd day of the same ill-starred month.

Baboons Fond of Jazz: Los Angeles.—Playing a waltz puts a tiger to sleep; ilions come nearest to laughing when they listen to a saxophone, and baboons are almost human in their weakness for jazz, psychologists and students from several California universities and colleges have deduced. The scientists invaded a motion-picture zoo here with a noisy orchestra and carried on numerous experiments to obtain accurate data on the reaction certain types of music might be expected to produce in various kinds of animals. While professors and students took notes the musicians ran the gamut of melody from lullabies to jazz tempests. Inside the cages the following results were observed: Jazz numbers: Angered the tigers. The baboons danced to a tune built up on a once-prevalent scarcity of bananas; a brown bear went into a tantrum when confronted with a moaning saxophone. An elephant ignored the orchestra ensemble, shiled at the bass viol, trumpeted at the roll of a drum, but appeared immensely pleased with the trombone. The mountain lions were not much interested. And Mary, the ape, smoked cigarettes through the whole two-hour performance. University Latin Class Burlington, Vt.—Something unusual in the way of a dinner was recently given when 50 students in the three upper Latin classes at the University of Vermont gathered at a Roman feast as guests of Prof. M. B. Ogle, Miss Doris Perry and Prof. L. M. Prindle of the Latin department of the university. The guests, according to Roman custom, brought their own napkin. In place of benches, upon which the Latins used to recline at meal time, the students loured upon cushions on the floor. A course dinner was served to them upon plates and they used their fingers and spoons. Prior to the dinner bowls of scented water and towels were passed. At the conclusion of the second course a libation to Jupiter was drunk from a loving cup. Three Latin songs were sung by the students at the end of the dinner. Menu cards were written in Latin. Gray Moss in Northwest Warning of Fire Dana WARNING OF FIRE DANGER Washington.—The heavy gray moss which grows in the Douglas fir regions of the Northwest is being used by United States forest service experts to indicate the danger of an outbreak of forest fires. The amount of moisture in this moss promptly changes with the slightest change in the amount of moisture in the air. By placing a quantity of the moss on a balance with a pen arm attached, changes in relative humidity are recorded satisfactorily. By close observations in this way, the approach of such exceptional dryness and possible fire losses can be detected. Keep smiling! What does Americanization mean?

Cabinet Officers Extend Greetings—Degrees Conferred Upon 208 Members of Class of 1924. Washington, D. C., June 13.—With President Coolidge as the principal speaker, and with a group of other national personages present, including Honorable Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, and Honorable Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Howard University, the one national university specializing in the training of Colored youth, held on the university campus, Friday afternoon, June sixth, its most brilliant commencement exercises. "The rise of the American Negro," said the president, "is one of the marvels of modern history." Pointing out that the special field of usefulness for educated colored men is among their own race, the president declared that "the Negro community of America has already so far progressed that it's members can be assured that their future is in their own hands." "Racial hostility, ancient tradition and social prejudice are not to be eliminated immediately or easily," he added. "But they will be lessened as the colored people, by their own efforts, and under their own leaders, shall prove worthy of the fullest measure of opportunity." Praises War Service The president drew enthusiastic applause from the thousands of auditors when he paid tribute to the service which the colored race rendered in the war. The university's service flag, showing 1,263 service stars, was suspended before the platform from which the president spoke. Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work, under whose department comes the administration of the university, told the graduates that "more important than the kind of ancestors you have is the kind of ancestors you are going to be." He pointed out that there are students in the university from every state in the union and from twelve foreign countries. Asserting that Congress should realize that "Howard University is an obligation of the government and not a gratuity," Secretary Work told of efforts to obtain increased appropriations for the institution. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Assistant Secretary of the Navy, awarded commissions in the officers reserve corps of the army to several members of the graduating class. He spoke briefly on service, but was greeted with cheers and applause when he was presented as a trustee of the university. Capt. Perry Lee Baldwin, administered the oath to newly commissioned officers. Jresident J. Stanley Durkee, conferred degrees upon the candidates. The Rev. Henry W. O. Millington pronounced the invocation and the Rev. Sterling N. Brown gave the benediction. This year marks the holding of the fifty-fifth annual commencement of the institution. Degrees in the liberal arts, sciences, religion, law, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, music, engineering and art were conferred upon 280 graduates of the Class of 1924. Commissions in the Reserve Officers' Corps of the army of the United States were awarded to 155 members of the Howard unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. In addition to the degrees in regular courses hononary degrees were conferred upon Judge Fenton W. Booth of the United States Court of Claims and Dean of the Howard School of Law; R. Nathaniel Dett, music composer of Hampton, Virginia; C. C. Alleyne, Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church; the Rev. Edward E. Tyler, pastor of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Melville Charlton, organist of New York City; and A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abysinian Baptist Church of New York City. SUES RAILROAD FOR $25,000 DAMAGES Raleigh, N.

Whittier. NOT DISCOURAGED THERE is decided disappointment that Superintendent Beveridge, who has been given chief authority in the recommendation of teachers, failed to recommend the appointment of the two well-qualified applicants of our race for positions in the public schools. The two applicants are Mrs. Grace M. Hutten, an experienced teacher of several years' standing and Miss Dorothy E. Williams, who graduated last year from the Primary-Kindergarten Department of the University of Omaha, receiving her first-class teachers certificate from the state and this year received her A. B. from the university. The applicants are admittedly qualified. That as taxpayers and citizens we are entitled to recognition on the teaching corps of over 1,400 any fair-minded person will admit. Other cities from Maine to California where they have mixed schools give employment to qualified teachers of color in these schools and they are making good. Omaha has had them and they made good. Is the citizenry of Omaha less progressive, less fair-minded and just than Boston, New York, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Detroit? Is the Board of Education composed of narrower-minded men and of lower ideals of justice and fairness than in former days? Where is the trouble? Let there be no passing of the buck, when a real issue is at the bar. The cause is not yet lost. There is still time for favorable action. We are not asking for colored teachers to teach colored pupils, as erroneously stated in the daily press as quoting the chairman of the teachers committee, but for the appointment of teachers to teach any pupils that may fall to their lot. We are simply asking for the appointment of our young women who meet the qualifications upon the same basis as others. Our request is fair and reasonable and we are going to win ultimately. We are not discouraged or dismayed. The issue must be met. We will win because our cause is just. STANDS FOR A SYSTEM THE MONITOR welcomes communications from our readers on subjects of interest. We wish that the department of this publication, "Letters from Our Readers" were more generally used than it is. We are, therefore, glad that our editorial of last week, captioned "Segregation" has elicited a letter which we gladly give place in this issue.

Amen. PAGE TWO pondent does not agree with our viewpoint. His letter implies that he favors segregation, inasmuch as he rhetorically asks, "are there not grounds for believing that its (segregation)'s) advantages from a practical standpoint are greater than the theoretical disadvantages?" Evidently he believes that there are "practical advantages" which overbalance and compensate for the "theoretical disadvantages" of the system, and it must be borne in mind that the word "SEGREGATION" definitely understood and specifically and technically applied in the United States stands for a SYSTEM, which enforces by sentiment, practice, custom, understanding, agreement, coercion, law, the separation of one group of people from another upon the basis of their undesirability of association with or proximity to the presumed superior group or class. It is in this sense, specific and well-defined, that the word is used. The intransitive sense of the verb from which it comes is pushed into the background by popular usage. Usage of words and terminology determine their meaning. We did not, therefore, err in our usage. Voluntary association, which is regulated by social instinct and the law of racial attraction is one thing; segregation, or involuntary herding is quite another. Of course the Negro is not the only group who is segregated. There are other "undesirables" like the Jews and various foreigners who cannot buy property or reside in certain sections of American cities. But that does not make it right. Our contention is that segregation, which stands for a definite thing in the United States, on the sole or primary ground of race, creed or color is contrary to the genius, letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States and a virtual denial of one-s manhood rights and citizenship. Can any temporary advantage, pecuniary or other, compensate any individual or group for this denial of these constitutional rights? Some of our people think so. Evidently our correspondent is of this opinion. We are not. May we also remind our correspondent that Francis J. Grimke is a product of Harvard and Dr. Alexander of Oxford university, England, where being treated and trained as men they were prepared for the leadership which they exercised and the influence which they exerted. "UNITED WE STAND" OF COURSE you have heard of the practical demonstration of the strength of unity given by an old Indian chieftain to his sons whom he desired to teach an important and needed lesson. He handed each of his sons a small dry twig and told them to break them. The twigs snapped like pipe stems under very slight pressure. He then gathered several of the same kind of twigs into a bundle and handed this bundle of twigs to each one in succession and bade him use his strength to break them. Each tried in vain but could not break the bundle of twigs. He then told two to try their strength in breaking the bundle of twigs but even then they could not break them. "Single twigs you see are weak, my children, and can easily be broken; bound into a bundle they are strong and cannot be broken." The lesson was well learned. And this is the lesson, we as a people, need to learn. United, intelligent action upon our part in almost any community can secure anything within reason and justice we desire. United support of worth-while business ventures, among our people will rapidly develop economic independence. America's motto should be our motto and slogan: "United we stand." Division means weakness. Union means strength. "Single twigs are weak and can easily be broken, but bound into a bundle they are strong and cannot be broken." "IN CASE OF WAR WITH JAPAN" SAID a thoughtful young man to us recently. "In case of a war with Japan wouldn't it cause confusion and consternation if our people took it into their heads to side with Japan?" Of course it would; but there is not much likelihood of our people doing such a thing in an eventuality of this kind. The chance remark shows how some people are thinking. BEING PLEASANT AND COURTEOUS THERE are a good many grouchy people in the world. Some are constitutionally so. They are to be pitted. What the world needs is more of human sunniness and kindness. One of the best health tonics is pleasantness and courtesy. Strive to be good-natured, sunny-tempered, pleasant and courteous and you will enjoy living.

Editor Monitor: In your editorial in last week's issue on "Segregation" you did not maintain your usual spirit of breadth and fairness of view. Perhaps lack of time and space are accountable causes. Inasmuch as some very pertinent things may be said contrary to your position I beg space to continue the discussion from another angle that all possible light may be shed on this mooted and vital question. In the first place the verb "segregate" is both transitive and intransitive. You, in common with the usual custom, have considered it transitively only. A person or group or "herd" that separates from others voluntarily is as truly "segregated" as is a person, group or "herd" that is so separated by force or compulsion. The earliest case of enforced segregation known to history was at the tower of Bebel and under the command of Jehovah. From that day to the present the peoples of the world have lived in groups bound by certain common ties. When the Church was in its infancy we find the Greek Christians complaining because the Hebrew deacons discriminated against them in the distribution of the charities with the result that Greek deacons were chosen to administer the charities to the Greek Christian. It seems to be according to the Divine plan that these groups should exist. For the Apostle Paul in the memorable address on Mar's Hill after declaring that God had created all men of one blood, follows up by the declaration that He has determined their times and places. But I soar too high. Let's get back to earth and commonplace affairs. Let us look the facts squarely in the face. Singularly, of all the racial groups in America, ours is the one howling most incessantly about segregation. As a matter of fact, the Indian is the only nationally segregated race in America. To him alone has the government of the United States said on this spot of ground you and thy kindred shall ever dwell. True, a few states have declared by way of legislation that in the use of certain public utilities the Negro be segregated. Whatever else remains in the nature of segregation comes for the most part on social grounds and this is common to all people. Even among us are our "Blue Veins" and "Four Hundreds." The fact that some schools, perhaps the most of them, are inferior in equipment and efficiency should not be charged entirely to segregation. Most Negro schools are in rural districts and all rural schools suffer in comparison to city schools. When we think of Fisk, Howard, Lincoln, Wilberforce, when we consider the splendid work of the public schools in St. Louis, Kansas City, Atlantic City, etc., we discredit our race when we declare them to be inferior in any sense of the word. When MEALS 40 CENTS BEVERAGES OF ALL KINDS Sacred Music All Day Sunday Bizer & Bizer, Propa. CORN HUSKER CAFE LINCOLN, NEBRASKA THE MONITOR we think of the influence of a Francis Grimke, Alexander Crummell, Dr. Bowen, and a host of others who have come to their eminence through the fact of segregation, are there not grounds for believing that its advantages from a practical standpoint are greater than the theoretical disadvantages? RUSSELL TAYLOR. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH Rev. Fred Divers, Pastor. Future vision is what we hopefully build our civilization on. Our yesterday's task may not have been as wonderfully achieved as to merit the hosannas of the grand stand, but where the program is for good, some good is achieved.

"Racial hostility, ancient tradition and social prejudice are not to be eliminated immediately or easily, but they will be lessened as the Colored people by their own efforts and under their own leaders shall prove worthy of the fullest measure of opportunity," declared President Coolidge in making the commencement address at Howard University Friday. The President, in bringing his message to one of the largest graduating classes in the history of the university, referred to the unique and marvelous position of the Negro among the peoples of the world, pointing out that in the sixty-year period since slavery the Negro, as a race, had shot forward with lightning speed in the march of progress, a feat rendered remarkable in comparison with the general slow and painful progress of humanity. Slavery, according to Mr. Coolidge, while wrong as a system, was probably a boon to the Negroes of the world, in that it brought a portion of them into contact with the more advanced peoples of the world and created an interest in Negroes to awake and get into line with moving, spirited people. Africa would now be scarcely seeing the light if it has not been for that great period of trial through which the Negroes of America went, he declared. Negroes have now progressed to the point were they should realize the necessity of self-help and the more advanced members should work strenuously to bring up the straggling rear to the end that Negro communities in America may become stronger and stronger, Mr. Coolidge asserted in closing his speech. TEXAS COLLEGE GIVEN STATE RECOGNITION Tyler, Texas, June 13, 1924.—Just as the most brilliant commencement exercises in the history of Texas College were in progress there came a telegram from the Department of Education stating that the institution has been put on the accredited list of schools. When this information was announced by President W. R. Banks the vast audience of friends and students went wild with enthusiasm and cheers. It has been, indeed, a task before the institution to meet the qualifications outlined by the Department of Education. Now that those who finish here are enlisted to a state certificate, already there is every indication of an unprecedented enrollment. At the spring meeting of the General Education Board of New York City $20,000.00 were appropriated for the $100,000.00 administration hall now under construction, on condition that the school raises a similar sum. The trustees and friends throughout the state of Texas are determined to use every means in securing money enough to make the appropriation available at once. Texas College has just closed the most successful school term in its history. The summer school and normal opened Monday with a splendid enrollment. PEPPER POT CLUB The Pepper Pot Club met Tuesday, June 10th, at the residence of Mrs. Lavinia Rose, 1303 North Fiftieth avenue. Brief important business matters were discussed.

The Sunday morning breakfast which was to have been held June 8th was postponed. Club members and friends were entertained in the afternoon at the residence of Miss Ida May Jackson, 2735 Caldwell street. Covers were laid for eighteen.

Annuls Citizenship Granted by Confederacy New Orleans.—After residing in New Orleans virtually all his life, believing himself to be an American and exercising a citizen's suffrage, William D. Seymour has learned in Federal court that he is a British subject. Seymour was born in Mexico of British parentage and his father was naturalized by the Confederacy during the Civil war. The discovery that he was a British subject was made when Seymour attempted to obtain a passport to visit Europe. It was denied by the State department on the ground that he could not prove his American citizenship. At the same time it was held that rights granted by the Confederacy were not legal. Songs of Nightingales London—Thousands of persons who had never listened to the notes of a nightingale heard the songs of these shy little birds broadcast from the depths of a Surrey wood late one night. These birds were tempted to sing at the right moment by notes sounded on a cello by a musician seated in the wood, it having been found that they respond to musical tones resembling those with which they habitually begin their songs. A sensitive microphone and amplifier were used to transmit the notes to the London broadcasting station. Sacramento, Cal.—Entrance to the Y. M. C. A. building was blocked for more than an hour recently when a swarm of bees congregated on the awning over the doorway. The bees held the fort until an unidentified man, armed with a torch and necessary equipment, induced the queen bee to take up quarters in a hive. The rest of the subjects followed the queen.

Cody, Wyo.—Within a few months those who travel the old Wyoming trail to Yellowstone Park through the little town of Cody will come upon a bronze statue of the famous cowboy for whom the town was named—an equestrian statue, mounted on a granite terrace and silhouetted against the sky, the rider gazing westward to the Rockies. A remarkable figure was Col. William F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill; a man whose life was filled with adventure. He was, at various times, a rider of the Pony Express when that was the only connection between the ranches and the rest of the world; a stage driver, a cowboy, a hunter, a guide, and an army scout. He engaged in fights with the Indians, in buffalo stampedes, and in thrilling old-fashioned round-ups. He always wore "shootin' irons" and seldom missed a target, even when it was in swift motion. He was thoroughly familiar with every nook and cranny of the Western plains, and mountains, and had hunted ever almost every mile. Great Bison Hunter. They called him Buffalo Bill because of his record in shooting those great beasts, the American bison. He killed more than 4,000 in a year and a half. In fact, the slaughter was so great that it caused a protest. The meat was not wasted, however, for at that time the Kansas Pacific railroad was in the course of construction and the buffalo meat was distributed to the wormmen for food. Wild riding and big-game shooting pall a bit as one grows older, so Colonel Cody capitalized his experiences by organizing a Wild West show. In his later days he did his cowboying more or less by proxy. But, ah, the thrill when the great Buffalo Bill himself rode out into the arena! How small boys adored his splendid riding and his handsome figure! The gay trappings of the show, the bucking bronchos, the gallant cowboys, the yelling Indians—well, even grown-ups enjoyed his dramatization of the West of pioneer days. It was the traveling show that made Buffalo Bill popular in eastern America and in Europe. That show was an education in the thrills and hardships of frontier life; it gave vivid pictures of the difficulties of the early pathfinders of the nation, and illustrated the courage of ploneers and scouts. The Fourth of July this year is the day chosen for the unwelling of the new statue. The ceremony will be a part of the program of the Cody Stampede, an exhibition of horsemanship and the prowess of the cowboys given yearly by the people of the neighboring ranches. For three days Main street is a mass of life and color, cowboys in chaps and colored shirts, cowgirls in broad-brimmed hats and picturesque riding clothes, Indians in gay blankets. For three days visitors can almost believe that the spirit of the old West has taken possession of Wyoming again, because all the features of the '70s are present. Mrs. Whitney's Statue. Colonel Cody's granddaughter, Miss Jane Cody Garlow, will unveil the bronze horseman, which is the work of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney. Standing 15 feet high and mounted at a commanding altitude above the surrounding country, Buffalo Bill guards the trail. The statue is considered one of Mrs. Whitney's best pieces of work. No pains were spared to achieve perfection in every detail; a horse was sent from the old Cody ranch in order that the proper type of model should be available—just such a horse as the cowboy used to ride. Smoky, the model for the statue, was shipped East, and Mrs. Whitney chose the type of rider she wanted and then had the two go through their paces in Central park, while she studied each gesture and pose, selecting and rejecting time and again before she found what she believed would convey best the spirit of Colonel Cody's personality. At last visualizing him as reining in his horse to listen for any sound that might be brought on the wind, she caught the desired pose. Because of the size of the statue Mrs. Whitney had to have scaffolds and a revolving platform constructed so that she could move around her subject with ease as she worked. When the question of placing the statue, with a suitable background arose, it was deemed necessary to build a special granite platform, which was no small piece of engineering. Mrs. Whitney made a trip to Cody so that she could see the exact setting of the work when it should be completed. The magnificent granite terraces with their horse and rider form the center of a scene which has on one side Rattlesnake mountain, on the other Cedar mountain, both peaks snow-capped through most of the year. A stream of water has been directed into a channel at the base of the terrace as a reminder of Colonel Cody's interest in erosion. The Buffalo Bill American association, which has Gen. John J. Pershing for its chairman, is financing the plan. This association "sponsors outdoor sport and individualism, and aims to infuse the present generation with the pioneer spirit." Mrs. Whitney's model for the statue has lately been on exhibition in Paris. ANNIVERSARY OF ORDINA. Wednesday, St. Barnabas' day, was the thirty-third anniversary of the ordination of the Rev. John Albert Williams to the diaconate. Despite the heavy downpour of rain several members of the Women's Auxiliary and of the Altar Guild attended a celebration of the Holy communion in St. Phillips' church at 7 o'clock in 1,800 BOSTON STREETS TO BE GIVEN NEW NAMES Duplication in the Names of Thoroughfares Reaches 3,000, Commissioner Learns. Boston.—With a movement under way to change the names of nearly 1,800 Boston thoroughfares, this city's tangled street situation, ever the bane of the visitors and travelers, may be unraveled by next year, in so far as duplication in names is concerned. Chairman John H. L. Noyes of the street commissioners has laid plans for one of the greatest municipal christening parties ever carried out. Impressed more and more by the complications arising from the repetition of identical street names in various districts of the city, and sometimes even in the same district, Chairman Noyes has amassed figures and facts showing that Boston has six Washington streets and five Washington places within the city limits, not including Washington Street North. He has found that there are six streets named after the well-known Adams family and that in addition four "blind alleys" in various streets go by the name of "Adams place." Six other streets bear the name "West." Altogether, the number of duplications reaches the enormous total of 3100—this out of an aggregate of 5,484 avenues, courts, parks, places, squares, streets and terraces. On the list of 3,100 street names where duplication occurs approximately 1,300 distinctly different names appear. Basing their calculation on these figures, the officials have estimated that the difference represents the number of streets which must be renamed, approximately 1,800 in all. Further perusal of the city's street lists reveals five Auburn streets, five Austin streets, five Elm streets, five Everett streets, five High streets, five Park streets, five School streets and five Water streets. There are five separate Lincoln places. There are four Brook streets and three Brooks places. Four streets bear the name of Allen and four more are named Allston. Similar instances occur almost indefinitely. Chairman Noyes has admitted the magnitude of his task in finding 1,800 new names for thoroughfares. Besides soliciting suggestions from Bostonians, his board will study the street lists of other cities and towns in the United States, hoping here and there to find a name as yet unused in Boston. Scarlet Fever Serum Is Baltimore.—A new serum which is said to give promise of revolutionizing the method of treating scarlet fever has been tried out with "very favorable" results in 18 cases at the Sydenham hospital here. The new curative is being developed by Dr. Alphons Raymond Dochez, an associate professor of medicine at Columbia university, and its successful use has also been reported by hospitals in New York, New Haven, Conn., and Peking. Infection of the new potion into muscles of the patient is said generally to have the effect of reducing the temperature to normal in about twelve hours, and in practically every case the rash accompanying the fever also is dispelled. Dr. Bryckhead Macgowan, superintendent of the Sydenham hospital, explained that the serum is almost alone in the field of scarlet fever treatments. It is produced through immunization of horses and is the result of experiments conducted by Doctor Doches since about 1917. Each Person Should Eat 520 Lbs. of Vegetables Berkley, Cal.—Nutritional specialists at the University of California have estimated the amount of vegetables required by a single person during a year, and to assist gardeners further, have fixed the space needed to grow enough vegetables for a family. According to the table, the vegetables needed by each person are 35 pounds of greens, 20 pounds of carrots, 20 pounds of cabbage, 30 pounds of turnips, 50 pounds of beets or parsnips, 15 pounds of string beans, 15 pounds of squash, 180 pounds of potatoes, 50 ears of corn, 40 pounds of onions and 55 pounds of tomatoes. The space for growing these vegetables, allowing for a normal failure or partial loss, is given as follows: Spinach, 250 feet of rows; chard, 75 feet; carrots, 50 feet; cabbage, 20 feet; turnips, 40 feet; beets or parsnips, 50 feet; string beans, 40 feet; peas or lima beans, 50 feet; potatoes, 400 feet; corn, 50 feet; onions, 55 feet; tomatoes, 60 feet; squash, one hill. Rubber Expedition on Washington.—The government's rubber investigation expedition in South America, some members of which have returned, covered a large territory in the basins of the Amazon river and tributaries almost to the Bolivian borders in its search for sources for the development of crude rubber to meet the growing demands of American consumers. Although an enormous area in that region is adapted to rubber production as far as temperature and rainfall are concerned, soil conditions are said to be a limiting factor. the morning. While the service was going on in the church a committee took charge of the rectory, wholly unbeknown to the pastor, and prepared a most appetizing breakfast of choice vials which they had provided, and to which a goodly number sat down. The dining room and table were attractively decorated with flowers. It was a very delightful observance of the occasion which was highly appreciated by Father Williams. ```markdown ``` Our beautiful, modern funeral home provides every convenience and our experience qualifies us to render the service demanded when loved ones are called by death. betrayed Their first conversation betrayed the fact that she was not fastidious At a distance she had appeared unusually neat, immaculate.
