EAST ST. LOUIS WANTS NO MORE MIGRANTS FROM THE SOUTH New York, Aug 1.—The mayor and city council of East St. Louis, Illinois, have asked the help of the National Association for the Advancement of Political Disord Us Addi (By Walter Irwin in Chicago Whip.) While the world gazed on in consternation, wonder and surprise at the great rifts that have been made in the democratic party and while the entrance of Senator La Follette upon the field with a third party caused ridicule from some sources and caution from others, while the republican party disregarded the Ku Klux issue, and perhaps wisely, so the black voters of the north have been silently imperceptibly, and unconciously invested with the balance of power in the coming election. In other words if the black vote of New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois is thrown to the republicans they will win the coming election, if the black vote is thrown to the democrats while La Follette takes away five republican states in the northwest and a scattered dissatisfied element throughout the nation it means that the democrats will win, but the balance of power lies with black voters. In Indiana. A startling and perplexing situation has already developed in Indiana because of the admitted power and presence of the Klan. Senator Watson, republican leader of that state, is openly and notoriously associated with the hooded knights and investigation into local issues have satisfied the colored voters that republicanism is THE MONITOR Colored People, in making public that owing to the overcrowded condition of the labor market there, no more migrants from the south are wanted in that city. Clarence J. McLinn, president of the East St. Louis Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. writes that the colored population there has increased from less than 6,000 in 1914 to nearly 18,000 at present, with little improvement in the housing situation, which forces "scores and scores of houses to furnish homes for eight and ten families under one roof of from five to seven rooms. The leading whites and capital here are friendly and favor the rights of our people, but the sentiment of 1917 engendered by organized labor is yet rumbling under cover. The city officials and real friends fear that the heavy incoming during this dull term may cause a repetition of the memorable 1917 riots and they believe, as do the more thoughtful of our group, that with publicity of industrial and housing conditions in our city, it will, at least for a while, stop the heavy migrating of our southern brothers into fruitless fields." The East St. Louis branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is now discussing the establishment of a headquarters for the migrants, where they may either be helped to obtain employment and adjust themselves to prevalent conditions, or be assisted to obtain farm employment in St. Clair county. EXCELLENT WORK BEING CARRIED BY LANGSTON UNI Progressive Educational Ideas Demonstrated In All Departments of Popular School. Langston, Okla., Aug. 1.—"A school with a program." This is what the colored people throughout the state of Oklahoma assert when they find occasion to speak of the Colored Agricultural and Normal university of our city of Langston. And this pronouncement is given a hearty echo by the white people in the state who have progressive ideas about education. President Young has gathered about him a faculty whose members come from Harvard university, Syracuse university, Columbia university, the University of Iowa, Howard university, Lincoln university, Wiley university and Wilberforce university. The school's program, as a consequence, of a very high order and includes courses in agriculture, mechanical arts, commerce and general business as well as high school and college departments to which are attached an extension and correspondence department. Much stress is put on the work in the agricultural department. Concerning this part of the university's program the president has the following to say: "If we can first be made to understand that the farm is the basis of all wealth and that productive farms beget prosperity, we will have gone far on the way toward the solution of our economic problems. As a dominated to a large extent by the Klan. James Weldon Johnson, of the N. A. A. C. P., recently in Philadelphia advised the colored voters of nIidiana to vote the democratic ticket and they probably will to a large proportion. In Ohio the same condition obtains, only the situation is not made obvious, and in consequence is not so intense. In Pennsylvania, Atty. J. Austin Norris, Yale graduate, is leading a large vote to the democrats and predicts a split vote in that state. In New York, Ferdinand Q. Morton, colored lawyer, indictment expert and civil service commissioner, is leading the colored forces of Tammany Hall and predicts that New York will surely write a cross in the democratic circle in November. In Illinois. In Illinois the situation is not as acute and determined as in the eastern states. The entrance of a colored democrat as candidate for Congress and the recent actions of the republican, Madden, in regard to the colored clerks in the war department will create a tight situation, and Chicago and Illinois will remain in the doubtful column as in the primaries. Just what will be done with the balance of power that colored voters received as residuary legates is hard to tell, but it is expected that the leaders will realize their strategic position and secure recognition that has never been accorded them before. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1924 Tononto, Con., Aug. 1—Dr. Louis I. Dublin, statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company of New York, addressed the National Conference on Social Work, July 2, on the subject of "The Effect of Health Education on Negro Mortality." "The Negroes are only a generation behind the health achievement of the white people of the country," said Dr. Dublin, "not a serious handicap to overcome when we consider that they have had control of their destinies for only a little more than half a century and have been served by health conserving agencies for even a shorter period. The pessimism which prevailed 25 or 30 years ago with regard to the future of the Negro is no longer even remotely justified. A race, still living in many areas under primitive conditions of sanitation and often from hand to mouth, is today enjoying a life expectancy just about that of the white people of America only 30 or 40 years ago." Improvement Shown. Dr. Dublin based his statements upon the mortality experience of the 15,000,000 industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, which group includes nearly 2,000,000 of our people. The detailed mortality records of the company began in 1911. In that year, our death rate was 17.5 in 1,000 insured persons; in 1923, the rate had dropped more than one-sixth, or to 14.5 in 1,000. The average baby of our race, at birth, today can expect to live to be more than 46 years of age; the average white baby can only count on living 58 years, and this high expectancy has only been attained in the last few years. This decrease of the death rate among our people engaged in indus- race the hundreds of years of enforced labor and bondage on the farm has left its mark of protest on us and we have wandered away from the real fundamentals of life." In the mechanical department students are taught the complete elements of industrial mechanics and the efforts in this direction has met with such amazing success that it has attracted the notice of the U. S. Bureau of Education which has pronounced the C. A. and N. university the best land grant school in Oklahoma. The department of social science is under the special direction of Prof. R. E. Iles, a noted teacher and expounder of social science. The aim of this course is announced to be, "the study of living conditions as they actually apply to the Negroes living in rural communities in America; a study of the chief factors and influences in rural communities and their effect upon the standards of living; and to determine what extent these influences are brought to bear upon the Negro more than other race groups in America." An extension and correspondence department is under the direction of Prof. W. Bruce Jones. Its work is carried into the homes and among the teachers in schools who can not afford to spare the time in attendance at the university. It is declared to be doing a spendiid work throughout the state. The colored agricultural and normal university is in keeping with the wonderful growth of the great state of Oklahoma. CHILDREN CLOTHIERS WOULD STARVE IN ABYSSINIA London, England, Aug. 1.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—In Abyssinia children go about practically naked during the first twelve or fourteen years of their lives. When the boys enter young manhood they begin wearing cotton trousers, very generous about the seat and tight at the ankles. With these is usually worn a shirt. Over shirt and trousers is thrown a red bordered mantle called the chamma, which serves at night for bed covering. Women dress practically the same as the men, but possible errors in identity are avoided by the peculiarly feminine way the women have of draping their chammas. The most desired article of clothing in Abyssinia is the pelerine, which can be worn only by the nation's bravest and wisest men, those whom the Prince Regent wants to reward for some unusual services. The pelerine is made of a lion's or black leopard's skin, ornamented with silver thread. The skin is cut so that the forlegs and tall dance in the wind and this makes the costume remarkably picturesque. trial work is all the more remarkable, Dr. Dublin considers, because this population group resides almost entirely in crowded sections of cities where, heretofore, the death rate has been exceptionally high. In the registration states of the United States the rural part was 13.8 per 1,000, as contrasted with 10.6 for white, whereas the rate in the cities was 19.7 per 1,000 as against 11.8 for the whites. Tuberculosis has been and still is the outstanding cause of death among our people, this statistician reports. One of every six Colored persons ultimately dies of this disease, but great improvement has been made in recent years. In 1911, tuberculosis was responsible for 418 death for each 1,000,000 of our people insured in the Metropolitan; in 1923, the rate had dropped to 246, or nearly one-half Great Advances Made. "The mortality among the Colored policymakers from tuberculosis is beginning to look like that among the white only 20 years ago, when the tuberculosis campaign was begun," states Dr. Dublin. "Nothing indicates so well the general health condition of 'a race as the incidence of tuberculosis and nothing reflects so well an improvement in its mode of life as does a big drop in this death rate. There can be no question that this improvement in tuberculosis is the result of great advances in the economic and social advances in the Colored people. The Colored people have, as a race, good physiques and they are learning all the time how to take better care of themselves in relation to their changing environment." Much of the credit for the improved health standards should be approved health standards should be the various health agencies who have RETURNS FROM EAST Rev. P. M. Harris, South Omaha's leading tonsorialist, business man and minister, who recently went east on Rev. P. M. Harris an extended pleasure trip and vacation returned home last Tuesday much benefitted by the trip. While in the east Mr. Harris spent several days in New York City with his two sons, Willie, 13, and Eleventh, 11 years, who are attending school in that city. He also made brief business stop in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D. C., Pittsburg and Chicago, returning July 15. While in Baltimore Mr. Harris was shown through the Wilson Banking Institution of which Mr. Harry O. Wilson is president. It employs over a score of colored men and women. Washington, D. C., Aug. 1.—No organization of the nation's postal employees enjoys a greater respect of the heads of the postal service than the National Alliance of Postal Employees. This organization is comprised of the Negro employees in this branch of the national service and is duly recognized as a very effective factor in maintaining a high degree of efficiency and a more than respectable position for character and general integrity. The organization is a self helping body providing accident and death insurance for its members as well as definite protective measures in relation to their various employments in the postal service. From July 1, 1925 to June 30, 1924, the organization issued policies to 753 new members thereby bringing the total membership up to more than 14,400. Nine death claims, amounting to $2,700.00 were paid during this period, accident claims reached the sum of $2,182.12 been working among them. Distribution of health literature, attendance for 1921, the last year available, the death rate among the race living in of visiting nurses in illness, advice to mothers regarding their own care and the care of babies, recommendation for periodical health examination—all these welfare measures have helped bring about this reduction in the death rate, Dr. Dublin believes. Our children show the greatest improvement in mortality of any age group, he shows, and this undoubtedly is due to the gradual and persistent education of mothers in how to feed and care for their offspring. In the four communicable diseases of childhood, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and diptheria, a decline of 33 per cent in deaths was recorded between 1911 and 1923, and in all of these except whooping cough, the death rates for children were uniformly lower than for white. The tuberculosis deaths among our children less than 15 years have been cut in half in this 13-year period. Other Diseases. Great improvement has been made in regard to typhoid fever and pneumonia, which, according to Dr. Dublin, indicates better sanitary conditions surrounding our people. Their present high mortality rate results largely from the chronic degenerative diseases as cerebral hemorrhage, organic diseases of the heart, and chronic nephritis. Cancer and diabetes, too have increased in mortality figures since 1911. Syphilis and its sequelae are becoming more widespread and causing more deaths each year. A more extensive campaign against venereal disease is advocated to improve their welfare and lower their death rate. The total assets of the Alliance are stated to be $21,000.00. The headquarters of the organization are in Atlanta, Ga., the present officers being A. L. Glenn, president, Atlanta, Ga.; H. H. Ateman, vice-president, Memphis, Tenn.; Josiah H. Jones, secretary, Chicago, Ill.; W. H. Reeves, treasurer, Atlanta, Ga.; and W. H. Bass, auditor, Little Rock, Ark. MADAM C. J. WALKER HOLY LAND CONTEST CLOSES Several Ministers Will Enjoy Delightful Trip Through Courtesy of Great Race Enterprise Indianapolis, Ind., August 1.—The Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing company's grand trip to the Holy Land contest closed at midnight, July 1. A great last minute rush of coupons into the Walker company's offices literally swamped the tabulators and after weeks of close, accurate counting, checking, comparison and verifications, the winners have been determined. It was a great race, full of excitement from the beginning, when three hundred fifty-eight ministers took off in friendly competition, to the very close day when some contestants made personal visits to the contest department and cast votes which they hoped would send them over the line a winner. Of course, all could not win the cherished trips, but two A. M. E. ministers, a Baptist and a Church of God evangelist polled the highest number of votes and will make trips aboard at the expense of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co. The competition was keen and another day perhaps would have meant another story, but here's how they finished: FIRST PRIZE: Free trip to Palestine and $250 in cash. Won by Rev. M. J. Key, pastor Turner A. M. E. Church, 1715 North Jersey avenue, N. W. Washington, D. C. SECOND PRIZE: Free trip to Palestine and $100 in cash. Won by Elder K. H. Burrus, Church of God Evangelist, 286 North Ashby street, Atlanta, Ga. THIRD PRIZE—Free trip to Palestine. Won by Rev. S. S. Jones, pastor Antioch Baptist Church, 1720 Emporia street, Muskogee, Okla. FOURTH PRIZE—Free trip to Paris, France. Won by Rev. J. O. Haithcox, pastor Allen Temple A. M. E. Church, 3096 Mathers street, Cincinnati, Ohio. Twelve other contestants won district prizes and one hundred and two were compensated for votes cast in their favor. It is barely conceivable that a ten thousand mile tour by rail and steamer, motor car and caravan, would be afforded free of cost to anyone, but the grand capital prize winners of this FOR I aha from 5 to 1 m 5 to 1 contest will start from their homes as guests of the Mine. C. J. Walker Manufacturing company and will go to New York, thence to London, Paris, Switzerland, Italy, Egypt, the Holy Land, see many of the world famous sights enroute and all without cost to themselves. Full two weeks will be spent in the Holy Land, where the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Mount of Olives, Garden of Gethsemane, Dead Sea, River Jordan, Jericho, Bethlehem, and other biblically important places will be visited. The prize trips won by the popularity, organizing ability and industriousness of these splendid representatives of our race, have great educational value, and with the winners carrying cameras to record what they see and note books in which to write their impressions, their congregations, their cities and the public at large will be benefited by their having toured the Holy Land. Echoing through the greatly increased business, the thousands of new satisfied customers and the directly benefited contestants, the grand trip to the Holy Land contest goes down as a great commercial achievement and a unique benefaction. WILLIAM JACKSON DIES IN 2007 AT HOME OF DUAGHTER William Jackson, known by many friends as "Missouri Jack", died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. I. H. Emerson, 1517 North Twenty-sixth street, Wednesday morning from cancer which had incapacitated him for some months, although it had not confined him to his bed until quite recently. He was born in Glasgow, Mo., June 15, 1865, and came to Omaha, where he has since continuously resided, in 1888. Mr. Jackson was a man who made and retained scores of friends. He is survived by his widow, his mother, a daughter, three brothers, George and Nelson of Glasgow, Mo., and Alfred of Omaha; two sisters, Mrs. Mizner of Omaha and Mrs. Cornelia Adams of Kansas City, Mo., and other relatives. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 from Zion Baptist church under the auspices of Keystone Lodge. Uniform rank, Knights of Pythias. Rev. W. F. Botts, assisted by others, will officiate. Fairfield, Texas., Aug. 1.—(Informer News Service)—The daily newspapers of Texas carried an item, played up on their front pages, a few days ago on an alleged attack upon a white girl at Fairfield,, a little one-horse town in Central Texas where six on more colored men and boys have been lynched and burned to death within the last two years for alleged attacks and offenses upon white women and girls. A day or two later, hidden on a back page in these daily sheets, appeared a very brief news item to the effect that two white youths had been arrested and a third was implicated in the "assault" and that his arrest was hourly expected. ement Aspects Misre Advancement Association Corrects Misrepresentation New York, Aug. 1.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, James Weldon Johnson, has made public the following statement on its political utterance with regard to a third party: The misapprehension has spread that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at its recent 15th annual conference in Philadelphia "endorsed" Senator La Follette. The fact is, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People did not endorse Senator La Follette or any other candidate. That is not part of its business. What the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is aiming at is the emancipation of the Negro from voting blindly for any party and the exercise on his part of intelligent political independence. After reviewing the record of the two major parties, our resolutions unanimously adopted July 1, in Philadelphia had the following to say about a third party: "Nothing will more quickly bring the old parties to a clear realization of their obligations to us and the nation than a vigorous third party movement. Such a movement may save us from a choice between half-hearted friends and half-concealed enemies or from the necessity of voting for the same oppression under different party names. Such a movement may give the American Negro and other sub- BLACK RAPIST IS GROWING THANK YOU 473 Vol. X—No. 5 BOYS 15 as Guests APPOINTED TO GOOD PLACES IN TREASURY Association isrepresentation Vol. X—No. 5 Lieut. J. Williams Clifford Appointed Chief and Ferdinand D. Lee Assistant Vault Custodians by Register of Treasury RESPONSIBLE FOR MILLIONS (Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton) Washington, D. C., Aug. 1.—The Register of the Treasury, Hon. Harvey Speelman, has announced the appointments of Lieut. J. William Clifford and Ferdinand D. Lee to positions that are classed among the most important and responsible positions in his department. As custodians of the vault they are responsible for many millions of dollars in bonds and other treasury certificates. This vault is said to be the largest in the treasury department. Lieut. Clifford is a native and voter of the state of Ohio, is a college graduate, and he was a first lieutenant in the World war, serving in France with honor to himself and his country. Mr. Lee is a native of Virginia, a graduate of the law department of Howard university, and is nationally known as the president of the National Memorial association for the erection of a building at the national capitol in honor of the Colored soldiers and sailors who sacrificed their lives in the defense of their country and its flag. (Hon. Will R. Wood, member of Congress from Indiana, has introduced a bill in Cogress asking $50,000 for the memorial.) While the appointments of these gentlemen are greeted by the general public with great satisfaction, we must not overlook the untiring efforts of Mr. Speelman, register of the treasury, in securing positions in the Veterans' bureau for the great number of clerks recently dropped from the rolls on account of non-appropriation of funds. It can be stated, in justice and truth, that the present register of the treasury was not responsible for the separation of white and colored clerks in that department. We are fully aware, however, that he was wholly responsible for the appointment of our group. His supervisors, with salaries commensurate with their positions, may be accepted as a most gratifying recognition of their fitness and executive ability. The appointments last mentioned were those of Mrs. M. Gray and Mrs. May Tyson Baker. Mrs. Mollie Mitchell of Dallas, Tex., who has been visiting her son, George Bennett of Detroit, Mich., is the guest of her niece, Mrs. Whidby, 2219 R street, South Side. The services next Sunday at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, will be as follows: Holy confunion, 7:30 a. m.; church school, 10 a. m.; sung eucharist with sermon at 11. No evening service. merged classes a chance to vote more directly for economic emancipation from monopoly and privilege and a fairer chance to work according to ability and share more equitably in the social income." It is perhaps needless to add that the kind of third party movement we are hoping and looking for did not materialize in Cleveland. But that does not alter the fact that a vigorous progressive third party, similar to the Labor party in England, would be the Negro's political salvation in America. In conclusion, those who wish to know the position taken by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at Philadelphia, can find it in the official resolutions adopted at Philadelphia and sent out to the press. STATE'S FIRST MAYOR Brentwood, Md., Aug. 1.—Jeremiah Hawkins, well known politician, was elected first mayor of this town recently. The town which is located in Prince George county, not far from Washington, D. C., was incorporated last month, has a population of 500, 120 homes valued at $400,000, all owned by colored people. Mrs. Edward Killingsworth is visiting Miss Beatrice Majors at Cleveland, Minn. She expects to return within the next two weeks.

For the last few years it has been classed as a doubtful state. This means that neither of the major parties has a mortgage upon its electorate. Normally republican the electorate, in which the average of intelligence is high for Nebraska stands second in the sisterhood of states in literacy, has shown a remarkable degree of independence in voting and has sprung many surprises. In the present campaign Nebraska is conceded to be fighting territory and all three parties are going to exhaust every effort within their power to swing it into their respective column. Voters of our race share to a large degree this independent spirit. In their efforts to win this state the colored vote, which really holds the balance of power, must not be overlooked. Promoters of the publicity campaigns and efforts to reach and influence this vote must not ignore or underrate race publications. This fact is respectfully brought to the attention of the managers of the national, state and local campaign managers. Well established publications should be given preference over mushroom, political campaign sheets, which spring up around campaign time and cease publication as soon as the campaign is over. FOR GOVERNOR OF NEBRASKA WHILE MANY of our people are debating how they will vote for various officials, national, state and municipal, in the coming election, there should be no hesitency in their choice for the important office of governor of Nebraska. There is no reason whatever why those of us who are normally republican, and this applies to the great majority of our A PRAYER FOR DELIVERY PREJI By Morne (For the Associa GOD, who hast made n who dost love all whom because of difference separate ourselves from other teach as the unity of Thy f Thy love. As Thy Son, our S group, should not enthusiastically support, as The Monitor believes we will support, Adam McMullen, the regular nominee on the republican ticket. He is clean, able and broad-minded and we have every reason to believe that all classes of citizens will receive a square deal at his hands. Governor Bryan by his square-dealing and taking a position which his republican predecessor clumsily dodged and refused to take, became popular with our people, many of whom would have no doubt felt it their duty to have voted for him. Such persons can now with a good clear conscience give their vote to Adam McMullen. The election in Nebraska this year will undoubtedly be close. Every vote will be needed. Begin boosting now for Adam McMullen for our governor and keep up that boosting until the polls close in November. "FOR ALL BOYS" THE OMAHA Elks Lodge will give their annual picnic at Elmwood park Saturday afternoon "FOR ALL BOYS 5 TO 15 YEARS OLD." And this great live wire body of red-blooded men mean just what they say. "ALL BOYS" means just what it says. It doesn't mean simply "white boys," as some invitations do, when they say "all boys." The Elks have set a magnificent example for some folks, "who profess and call themselves Christians" but who in their practice deny the fundamental principles of Christianity, in these annual outings they have been giving for some years now for Omaha boys. No racial or creedal lines have been drawn; and the utmost good will and friendship have prevailed. To Dr. Michael J. Ford, whose heart is as big as his body, and he is a six-footer of splendid manhood, credit is due for launching this annual boys' picnic which has become an institution of Omaha. It is hoped that the boys of our group who are to be the guests of the Elks Saturday will conduct themselves as in previous years as gentlemen, so that the understanding, amity, goodwill and genuine democracy which these gatherings are designed to promote may suffer no backset but grow stronger and firmer year by year, justifying the faith of these big-hearted men who are genuinely interested in the boyhood of Omaha today which means the manhood of Omaha tomorrow.

Our government must have a thorough investigation. Of course, mobs kill Americans in Georgia, but that's different. We do not need to investigate about Georgia—we already know about that. Then, too, we have some authority over Georgia, while we haven't a bit of authority over Persia, we could do something in Georgia; it is doubtful whether we can do a thing in Persia. Therefore, on to Persia. Something must be done there. That was a "religious mob" that killed one American in Persia. Those are thoroughly IRRELIGIOUS mobs that have killed 450 Americans in Georgia.—Therefore, on to Persia! Never mind Georgia. We must give Georgia a chance to teach Persia a little lesson. That American in Persia was violating the religious sentiments of the mob. But the Georgia mobs don't have any religious sentiments. Wherefore and therefore, the Persia mob ought to be punished. What a savage country Persia is, to kill ONE American in a sudden and fanatical religious frenzy. They don't even know how to cooly and deliberately burn FOURTEEN in a single year as the United States did in 1919. On to Persia! Thinking Worth Parking in Your Mind Claver, the Jesuit, afforded an instance of self-sacrifice for the Negro during the dark days of slavery, which, although rare at that time was common among Romanists. The son of a noble Catalan family of Spain, he entered the Company of Jesus at the age of twenty. He celebrated the close of his noviicate by a pilgrimage to Montserrat where Loyola had nearly a century before hung up his sword in renunciation of the world. To the day of death Claver never spoke without emotion of this visit to a sanctuary hallowed by the prayer and vigils of his spiritual father. He came to Cartagena, Colombia, then New Granada, in 1610. The misery of the slaves so shocked him that he vowed to be until death the slave of the Negro. In 1645 the Massachusetts legislature restored two Negroes to their African home whom a member of the Boston church had imported and sold. As early as 1701 Boston besought her representatives to abolish slavery. THE MONITOR Sewall wrote an anti-slavery pamphlet and essayed to prevent Negroes and Indians being rated with cattle. The woman who goes away for the summer faces two vital questions: What to do with the cat and what to do with her husband—to keep them from "running wild". WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY The Issue Is Plain. The Issue Is Plain. It is Calvin Coolidge versus John W. Davis in the 1923 presidential race. The one, a republican, hails from the "Old Bay State" with its historical brilliancy and noble traditions; the other, a democrat, hails from West Virginia with its all too near Southern leanings and heritage. Both are men well trained in public service, and both possess high intellectuality and clean records. But the influence of environment and local coloring has played an important part in the official acts and concept of presidents in the past and it is certain to do so again. The issue therefore becomes plain at the very outset so far as the Negro vote is concerned, and if not wholly a question between the North and the South, it is sufficiently near to it to have a marked influence upon our ballot next November. We have no quarrel with Mr. Davis, the individual, for he stands high in the councils of American statesmen and diplomats. But he is from the wrong section of the country and his party strength is too pronounced south of the Mason and Dixon line to suit our fancy and we will be much mistaken if the Negro vote fails to line up with sturdy solidarity against him—The Colorado Statesman.

"BLOOD WILL TELL" "Blood Will Tell" is the title of a racial and moral drama in three acts written by Mrs. Senora Mae Wilkinson of this city. The play opens with a pleasing scene in the home of a cultured Southern family that of William Trent, in which the mother expresses her anxiety over the moodiness and restlessness of their adolescent son, Harold. This leads to a round table talk in high Harold discloses the reason for his discontent. It is the repression from local conditions which he resents. An altercation with a boorish white boy who bumps into him on his way to school, and the threatened violence for his daring to strike a white boy, causes his flight. The play depicts his progress in the North, his admittance to the bar, his subsequent experiences and services, centering around a very happy romance. The play is a good one and has a serious purpose. The characters are well drawn. It is to be presented at St. John's A. M. E. Church, August 8th. DELAWARE REPUBLICANS SEEK HOLD ON VOTERS Wilmington, Del., Aug. 1.—(By the Associated Negro Press).—Republicans in this city and about the state are leaving no stones unturned in their efforts to hold the race voters in their paries. But the outlook is very dark for the republicans and the race voters have awakened to the fact that they have been fooled long enough and still, in which they are justified because of the blunt refusal of the republicans to help send a race delegate to Cleveland after they had indorsed him. These and other facts are responsible for the turn. The name of John W. Davis calls forth much cheering whenever he is mentioned by race voters at their meetings. The outspoken pledge of Edward Henry, president of the Citizen's Republican Club of Philadelphia, whose denunciation of the Coolidge party and which have caused considerable comment among the voters of Pennsylvania added with that of Dr. R. R. Wright, president of the Citizens and Southern Banking Co., also of Philadelphia, the voters in this little state are rising and claiming the democratic nominee as the man of the hour. The republican party in Delaware is fighting with its back to the wall. Phone WEbster 7000 LINCOLN REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE COMPANY We Buy, Sell and Rent Houses. We Write All Kinds of Insurance.

Corneal left last Thursday for their home in Portland, Oregon, after a two months' vacation spent visiting in Denver, Col.; a brothers, sister and friends here, and relatives in Missouri and Kansas. Mr and Mrs. Corneal were the recipients of several social courtesies by relatives and friends while here. Misses Belvia Spicer and Green are home after about two years' absence. The local N. A. A. C. P. will give a picnic in Bruce's park, southwest of town, Monday, August 4th. Remember the date; come, as a big time is anticipated. Mrs. C. W. Allen of Enid, Okla., is visiting her sons here, L. J., F. B., and Roy F. Mrs. Allen, before arriving here, visited New York and her sons Clarence and Joe, and daughter Lottie, at Detroit, Mich. Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Allen entertained at dinner last Friday in honor of their mother; covers were laid for about twenty-five. Mr. and Mrs. Luther J. Allen entertained at family dinner Sunday, in honor of their mother, Mrs. C. W. Allen. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Stith and family and R. W. Walker have left for a vacation to visit relatives and friends in Kansas. They are travelling by auto. The outdoor carnival was brought to a close Saturday night at Mt. Zion Baptist church. This being a new feature in the way of an entertainment for Lincoln, was well attended, and proved to be quite successful. The working part of the church and friends did their utmost. Each auxiliary of the church has special booths which did well financially. The special feature for the week was the parade of all nations, headed by Dr. W. F. Botts and quite a number of his folks from Omaha, which served to enliven the interest of that evening. Among those from Omaha were: Dr.W. F. Botts, Dr. C. C. Harper, H. L. Anderson and family, Mrs. L. S. Davis, Mrs. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Gorham, Mrs. S. Botts, Mrs Susie Trent, Mrs. J. W. Wilson and many others, comprising about five auto loads of visitors. Dr. Harper addressed the people on that evening and it was most interesting Rev. H. W. Botts and his members will hold dedication services on Sunday, August 10th, when they will enter the auditorium of Mt. Zion Baptist church, which has been varnished and fitted for use as "God's Holy Sanctuary." Dr. E. R. Vaughan, dean of Western university, Kansas City, Kans., is the guest of Rev. M. C. Knight and congregation. Dr. Vaughan filled the pulpit twice last Sunday and his sermons were most inspiring. The Sunday School and A. C. E. society had fine services. The chicken dinner by the aid society last Thursday night was a success. Rev. C. R. Ross of the Newman M. E. church filled his pulpit as usual Sunday. The Sunday School is doing well under Geo. B. Evans as superintendent. Mr. N. B. Ashford will open a restaurant at 2210 O street, the Bizer & Bizer old stand. The grand session of the Daughters of Bethel will convene in Lincoln in August. Mrs. G. F. Dean gave a miscellaneous shower Thursday afternoon at her residence in honor of Miss Dorothy Loving. About twenty young ladies were present. A jazz wedding was among the stunts put on to attract attention of the future bride, Ices, wafers and candies were daintily served. The Norah Taylor society picnicked at Capitol Beach Monday afternoon, honoring Dean Vaughan of Western university, who was a chapel visitor. Mrs. Vera Richardson, Buffalo, N. Y., Mrs. Allen, Enid, Okla., Mrs. Gaines R. Thomas, Lincoln, Mrs. Lillian Black, Mrs. F. Heming and Miss Dorothy Loving were Kensington club honorees this week. The Rainbow wedding scheduled for Thursday night promises to have several splendid features of interest about it. Mr. Sidney Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Edwards motored to Fremont Sunday, attending a basket meeting. A wonderful time was had. A tent was spread, under which all the good things of the season were in abundance. The sermon by Rev. Mr. Moss of South Omaha was one of merit and full of interest. An evening service by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Stapleton, rounded out the day. Several cars of people from Omaha motored over and were greeting friends. FIX WAR COST AT 80 BILLIONS GOLD Three Times Cost of United States Government From 1791 to 1913. New York—The cost of the World war was $80,680,000,000 gold, according to calculations made by the Bankers Trust company, in which all expenditures were reduced to a gold basis. Figured in the currencies of all the belligerent nations—currencies affected in varying degrees by inflation caused by the issuance of paper money and expanded bank credits in financing the war—the cost converted into dollars at par of the various currencies was $208,600,000,000. "To arrive at a uniform basis of statement, we have divided the figures of each nation for each year of the war by the wholesale price index number of that nation," says the Bankers Trust. "Thus we have obtained a statement for each nation in terms of 1913 prices. The sum of these figures, $80,680,000,000, may be called the gold cost of the war." The Bankers Trust company has just published a book covering the financing of the war, to which it has given the title of "Inter-Ally Debt". What $80,680,000,000 gold really means is suggested by comparing the valuation of $20,000,000,000, roughly, put on all the railroads of the United States. Eighty billion dollars would reproduce all of the railway mileage of the world and there would still be over $20,000,000,000 to spare for some other use—enough to build and equip another railway system as great as that of the United States. British National Wealth. In 1914 English economists estimated the wealth of the people of Great Britain to be about $70,000,000. All of the property of every kind in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, the railways, the docks, the shipping traversing every sea, the entire navy, the great factories, the coal, tin and iron mines, in short all tangible property of every sort and kind, is represented by this $70,000,000,000, and yet the war cost $10,000,000,000 more than this, and $10,000,000,000 is equivalent to the entire tangible wealth of Australia and New Zealand. Another comparison—the prewar combined wealth of France and Italy was just under $80,000,000,000. The war caused the unprofitable consumption of goods of a value in gold equivalent to all of the property of every kind of these two great nations of nearly 80,000,000 people; an amount equivalent to the accumulations of centuries wasted in four and one-half years of strife. It is hard to realize, but it is a fact, that $80,000,000,000 is 60 per cent more than the total cost of government in Great Britain for the two and a quarter centuries which elapsed from the Revolution of 1688 to the beginning of the great war. It cost to meet the expenses of Great Britain for two and a quarter centuries, in round figures, $83,000,000,000. Other Big Wars. During this long period of 226 years there were eight major wars, fought at great expense—expense so great that the thinking people of the times were appalled thereby. There were the Wars of William III, costing around $150,000,000; the Wars of Anne, costing over $250,000,000. The Spanish Right of Search war and the War of the Austrian Succession pilled up another $200,000,000 or more. The Seven Years' war cost over $350,000,000. Then came the American war, costing over $500,000,000, and finally the Great French wars, lasting from 1792 to 1815, costing around $6,000,000,000. Later on, in the '50s, the Crimean war cost some $350,000,000 and finally the Boer war, which lasted from 1890 to 1903, cost nearly $1,500,000,000. Besides these major wars there were many costly military expeditions, the growing cost of civil government and the ever-present burden of the public debt, and yet this total expenditure of this long period was only about five-eighths of the gold cost of the great war. Coming home for a final comparison, we find that the expenses of the United States government from its foundation in 1791 through the year 1918, a period of a century and a quarter, were $24,500,000,000—less than one-third of the gold cost of the great war, and yet, during this long period, we fought England in 1812, Mexico in the '40s, the very destructive Civil war in the '60s, also at various times many Indian campaigns, to say nothing of the Spanish war in the '90s. The expenses of civil government were steadily growing. Our pension roll called for heavy expenditures. To the current expenses of government we could add the Louisiana Purchase, the acquisition of Alaska, the purchase of the Virgin Islands, what we paid Spain for the Philippines and the cost of constructing the Panama canal and even then the figure would be far under a third of the total gold cost of the great war.

But upon their first face-to-face meeting he discovered that her teeth were not clean. And he soon lost interest. So many people overlook this one matter of fastidiousness. And do so in spite of the fact that in conversation the teeth are the one most menacing about you. Notice today how you, yourself, watch another person's teeth when he or she is talking. If the teeth are not well kept they at once become a liability. Listerine Tooth Paste cleans tooth a new way.
