CRAIG MORRIS RESIGNS Efficient Scoutmaster Declining to be Embarrassed Resigns and Maintains His Self Respect. For the past two years Troop No. 23, Boy Scouts, Dr. Craig Morris, scoutmaster, and Messrs. W. G. Haynes and Malcolm Scott, assistant scoutmasters, have been meeting regularly on Friday nights at the Howard Kennedy school. During the last year a janitor by the name of Nielsen, has been in charge of the school. Under the former janitor there was never any trouble, but since Nielsen's advent there has been considerable unpleasantness directly chargeable to the unfriendly attitude of Nielsen, who in the judgment of the three excellent young men in charge of Troop 23, has shown decided and unmistakable prejudice. Frequently he has interfered with the scout activities, with which he has nothing to do, even going so far as to lay his hands on the scouts and forbidding them to play certain games. When Scoutmaster Morris objected to this interference Nielsen, assuming authority over him, insisted that the game, dodge ball, should not be played. Some months ago Dr. Morris reported the janitor's interference to scout headquarters. Scout Executive Evans at that time told Dr. Morris, "If the janitor again interferes you tell him to get out for you are boss. He has no business to interfere." Matters reached an acute stage a few days ago when a child, said to be the janitor's sat in one of the windows and spit on some of the scouts, and the same night Nielsen again interfered with the activities, grabbing the boy who had the ball. Complaint was again made to the scout executives and Mr. Gendal and Dr. Morris had an interview with Miss Belle Ryan, assistant superintendent, who suggested that a formal investigation he held. This was set for 8:30 Sunday morning W. E. Reid, president of the board of education presided. Among others present were Messrs. Beveridge, Warfield, Finlayson and Miss Ryan. Dr. Morris, W. G. Haynes and Malcolm Scott represented the troop. The outcome of the investigation was virutally a vindication of the janitor, who was sustained in his interference upon the ground that he was actuated only by the desire to protect school property. Inasmuch as the scoutmaster and not the janitor must pay for any damage done school property used by his troop it would seem that this position is a little far-fetched especially since there has been no damage done during the entire time the troop has been meeting there the solicitude, and anxiety of this officious janitor is not justified. In the investigation the word of the janitor was given more weight and consideration than that of Messrs. Morris, Haynes and Scott, discrepancies between Champion Chicago Will Play Omah Great Games Anticipated Omaha has won the Western League pennant for the first time in eight years and this is the fourth pennant to come to Omaha in about twenty years. The season closed at Tulsa with a win and Omaha out in front by over four games. They immediately after the game left the Oil City and have been palying several successful barn-storm games throughout Oklahoma and Nebraska. Tomorrow afternoon and Sunday afternoon are benefit days for the boys of the club and huge crowds are expected when they meet the champion Chicago Union Giants, the fastest colored ball club in the country. Civic organizations, city officials and everyone interested in Omaha baseball are striving to make the attendances at these games real tanti- --- THE MONITOR statements made by the former and later being considered irrelevant. Dr. Morris took the only stand a self-respecting man could take under the circumstances. He declined to continue in a position and place where he could be humiliated and embarrassed by one who is his inferior in education and position, and that without apparent hope of redress. He maintained that if Troop 23 must meet at Howard Kennedy school under the present janitor, it would have to meet without him, as he would not go nor would he ask his boys to go any place he himself would not go. Although ielson was not censured in the meeting, after he had gone some one suggested that he be written a strong letter advising him to be careful of his conduct in the future. Dr. Morris took the manly position that the time to criticize or censure Nielsen was in the meeting and to send him a letter was dodging the issue and pure nonsense. Monday Dr. Morris tendered his resignation. He has done most commendable work in the boy scout movement and it is to be regretted that he was not sustained by those in authority and position to do so. The Monitor unqualifiedly endorses the position taken by Dr. Morris. FIFTEEN KLUXERS ARE INDICTED FOR SHOOTING WEST VIRGINIA COOK Two Protestant Preachers Are Among Number Against Whom Grand Jury Finds True Bills for the Crime. Fairmont, W. Va., Oct. 3—Fifteen man and one woman, prominent in business and social circles in this city, as well as two pastors of churches, were named in nine separate indictments returned by the grand jury in the criminal court of Marion County for offenses in connection with the shooting of Daniel Washington, a Negro, who was lured to a lonely farm a few miles from this city on the night of February 29, last. Those indicted are credited with being members of the Ku Klux Klan. They are Rev. E. O. Jones pastor of the Methodist church of Shinnston and general kleagle of the realm of provinces Nos. 1 and 2 of the realm of West Virginia K. K. K.; Rev. J. Walter Barnes, pastor of the Baptist Temple of Fairmont klan; Guy Uthaerback, kleagle of the local klan; Robert Brown, formerly of Detroit; Mrs. Oliver Brown, his wife; Ivan Poling, hotel manager; T. O. Meredith, civil engineer; Beverly Garret, Benjamin Cox, Birchie Davis, G. L. McCray, John Lough, J. A. Landis, Arthur Hugus. It is charged that Washington passed a note to Mrs. Brown, who was a waitress in a restaurant in which he was chef, asking for a meeting with the woman. The note was turned over to her husband, who in turn presented it to the klan officials. Feeling is said to be tense throughout this section not only between the races, but more specially between the klansmen and anti-klansmen. County officials declare they will exert every vestige of skill and power to see that the law takes its proper process.

STYLE SHOW GIVEN BY GARDEN CLUB GREAT SUCCEED Columbia Hall Crowded to the D. and Hundreds Unable to Gain Admission. A delighted audience of nearly people witnessed the presentation a unique and artistic Style Show sent by the members of the Gauk Club of the North Side Branch of Y. W. C. A. under the chairman of Mrs. T. P. Mahammitt last day night at the Columbia Hall. This move has come about largely because of the action of a great many Negroes who have contributed and in doing so expressed the belief that as a contributor the Negro will be able to demand more recognition from the party chiefs than if he went up to the table a mere beggar. Contributions of one dollar or more are to be sought from every Negro citizen. Arrangements have been made whereby such money can be sent direct to the office of the auxiliary finance committee at 717 Florida Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C. The checks should be made payable to John R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential bank and financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, who is also the treasurer of this finance committee. Letters may be addressed to either Mr. Hawkins or to Mr. Edward A. baker, secretary of the committee at the above-mentioned address. W. H. C. Brown is the field agent and organizer of the finance committee.

It has been many weeks since fight fans have had the privilege of seeing Battling Monroe, the ebony panther of Omaha, in action in an Omaha ring. On next Thursday evening, Oct. 9th, Monroe will tangle up with Lee Anderson, also colored, of New York, in one of the headline bills of the Spanish American War Veteran's card of that evening. Anderson, who has appeared before in Omaha, can be remembered best as the only fighter to ever knock out Kid Norfolk, and this means that Monroe will have to get up and step if he wants to put this Anderson bird to sleep. Sammy Leonard of St. Paul, who made a dandy showing against Ace Hudkins before he was repeatedly fouled, will again meet the "Cat" in one of the headline bills. Leonard promises he will tame the so-called "wild cat" into an ordinary corner loving tabby before the final bells rings. Preliminaries have not been arranged at this time but George Yeager promises they will be good.

A delighted audience of nearly 700 people witnessed the presentation of a unique and artistic Style Show presented by the members of the Garden Club of the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. under the chairmanship of Mrs. T. P. Mahammitt last Monday night at the Columbia Hall. Long before the time for the program to begin standing room was at a premium. There were nine scenes in all most artistically staged and realistically and naturally presented. Among these were included an actual morning scene of the club at work on the "Y" grounds, an old fashioned garden, introducing two lovers of the old time and several children costumed as flowers, a reception, an artist's studio and a bachelor's dream. These with other scenes gave the opportunity of showing many handsome creations and styles for men, women and children. Pleasing musical features of the program were a classical piano number by Mrs. John W. Pinkston, solis by Miss Dorcas Jones and Miss Edna M. Stratton and a duet by Miss Jones and Mr. Weldon Solomon. Some idea of the magnitude of the entertainment may be gained from the fact that there were nearly one hundred participating in the program, each one o fwhom well sustained his character. Among some of the most handsome exhibits were gowns and dresses from the stores of H. H. Crawford and Sons and the North Side Bazaar, race enterprises. Bennie Moton's Kansas City Orchestra at Dreamland hall Saturday night October 11—Aev. Whole Number 482 NATION CELEBRATES EMANCIPATION DAY Chicago, Ill., Oct. 8.—Thousands of persons of both races in every section of the country joined in the nationwide celebration of Emancipation day on Monday September 22. Wreaths were placed on statutes of Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, in many cities, the principal ones being, Chicago, New York, Brooklyn, Washington, Boston, Newark, N. J., and Springfield, Ill. In this city the exercises were held at the statute sculptured by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The principal address was by Henry R. Rathbone, Illinois congressman at large, whose father, Maj. Rathbone, risked his life and was wounded in attempting to capture Lincoln's assassin. Congressman Rathbone termed the emancipation proclamation the "second charter of American history," the first being the Declaration of Independence. As expressive of the absence of sectarian and racial prejudice, representatives of three creeds took part in the program, the Rev. Hugh J. O'Connor, representing Cardinal Mundelin, the Rev. Tobias Schanfarber of Synagogue Kehl ah Anshe Manriv, who read from Exodus an account of the "first emancipation proclamation," that freeing the ancient Jews from the Pharoahs, and the Rev. William D. Cook, colored pastor of Metropolitan Community church. Many soldiers took part in the local exercises, and men who have fought in all the wars paying homage to the giver of liberty. The Emancipation Proclamation was read by Earl B. Dickerson, commander of Giles post of the American legion and assistant corporation counsel of Chicago. Citizens in New York and Brooklyn united in celebrating the occasion by placing wreaths on the statutes of Abraham Lincoln in Union Square, New York, and in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. These ceremonies were held under the auspices of the Empire State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. In Brooklyn the color detachment of the Fifteenth infantry, New York National Guard, stood at attention as a child laid the wreath. The Rev. Messrs. A. C. Garner, regimental chaplain, and William R. Laton, Rendal Memorial Presbyterian church, spoke. In the District of Columbia exercises were held at Fort Stevens, Lincoln park and Judiciary park under auspices of the District Federation of Colored Women's Political Clubs, both white and colored citizens responding enthusiastically. At Fort Stevens, representatives of the government and of the federation took part in the ceremony, which included the placing of wreaths. It was at Fort Stevens that Lincoln was under fire during the Civil War. In Boston a school boy laid a wreath on the statute of Lincoln at exercises held under the direction of W. M. Trotter, secretary of the National Equal Rights League and editor-publisher of the Boston Guardian. Similar ceremonies were held at Newark, N. J. At Springfield, Ill., handeds of white and colored citizens attended exercises at Lincoln's tomb where a wreath was laid. Addresses were made by Congressman-at-large Richard Yates, Col. Otis. B. Duncan and the Rev. John C. Roberts, pastor of Zion Baptist church. The ceremonies were begun with a pilgrimage to the tomb, led by National Guard troops and representatives of women's clubs. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, former president of the National Association of Colored Women, which has sponsored the Emancipation day celebration, believes that the holiday will be nationally celebrated by both white and colored Americans in time, supplanting, as she says, "many of the less significant celebrations now held in many states." STUDYING FOR ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD Anglun, Mo., Oct. 3.—One of the few Negro boys to study for the Roman Catholic Priesthood is Aloysius Morrison of Anglun, Mo. Last year he attended the Pio Nono college in St. Francois, Wis. He was one of the three Negro boys who registered at that institution. Proving himself a scholar and a religious gentlemen, young Morrison has been accepted at the Seminary conducted by the Fathers of the Divine Word at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. He will continue his religious studies there. Morrison is a product of St. Peter Claver's mission church of Anglun, Me. 482 Vol. X—No. 14 hers AT ST. JOHN'S RAILROADS EMPLOY MANY THOUSANDS OF COLORED FOLK UUnited States Department of Labor Has Compiled Interesting Statistics of Race Employees Classified Railway Occupations Disclose Wide Distribution of Transportation Workers. Washington, D. C., Oct. 3.—Figures showing the number and classification of Negro employees of steam railway lines, as summarized by the office of the Department of Labor, conclusively show the entrance, advancement and permanence of employment of Negro workers in one of the most important industries of the country. In all there are 136,055 Negro rail hands who are directly engaged in handling or safeguarding the transportation of persons or property over the lines of the various steam railway carriers of the United States. Negro railway employees are usually though of as porters, and yet the 136,065 total contains train and Pullman porters in the number of 20,224, of whom 23 are colored women. The other classified railway occupations, however, show that rail transportation workers of the Negro race are in no wise confined to providing traveling comforts and performing domestic service for passengers. In fact, the summary shows that there are two Negro officials and superintendents of rail lines, located in Ohio and Florida. Ninety-seven Negro telegraphers, well distributed over the country, are actually engaged in safeguarding passengers and property. There are 111 engineers and 6,478 firemen; 202 inspectors of way and structures; 202 telegraph and telephone linemen; 33 conductors; 111 baglinemen and freight agents; 2,874 switchmen and flagmen; 1,195 foremen and overseers; 2,377 boiler washers and engine hostlers; 4,485 brakemen; 95,713 laborers; and 1,961 workers, employed at miscellaneous occupations, such as ticket agents and station hands, who are not classified in official listings. The total includes an appreciable number of female employees who work as porters, laborers, telegraph operators, etc. The New York state rail lines, in fact, boast of four female Negro telegraphers, Illinois, with the veteran J. H. Kelley, who for more than forty years has been a telegrapher for the Illinois Central Railroad Company, takes first place in the period of employment service. --- GROWING THANK YOU NEGROES IN VARIOUS JOBS Geographically, these 136,065 Negro rail hands are well distributed throughout every state in the Union. Georgia leads, with 10,865, and is followed by Louisiana, with 9,141; Virginia, 9,010; Alabama, 8,844; Texas, 8,381; Tennessee, 8,100; Mississippi, 7,744; North Carolina, 5,321; Florida, 5,091; Illinois, 4,554; Arkansas, 4,184; Kentucky, 3,916; South Carolina, 3,858; Missouri, 3,706; Pennsylvania, 3,569; Ohio, 3,219; Maryland, 2,221; West Virginia, 2,052; Oklahoma, 1,897; Indiana, 1,167; New York, 1,127. Each of the remaining states has less than 1,000 Negro rail workers, New Hampshire, with its 1 brakeman, 2 laborers, and 1 switchman, completing the list. The summary plainly shows that avenues of employment in the transportation industry are rapidly being opened to the colored worker and that his future in this phase of employment has a particularly bright aspect. RACE BARRED IN NEW ORLEANS FROM BUILDING NEAR WHITES New Orleans, La., Oct. 3.—It is said that it required just ten seconds last Tuesday for the commission council to adopt an ordinance on final passage preventing construction of Negro homes in white communities. Following passage of the measure, which was applauded vigorously by a crowd in council chamber, Mr. L. E. Stephens addressed the members and said: "You may be sure that not only myself, but every mother of white children in New Orleans sincerely appreciates this restriction that will prevent Negro children coming into our communities and mixing with our children." The measure restricts city engineer from issuing permit for construction of Negro building in white community or to a white person in a Negro community.

SUPPORTING THE PRESS A OTABLE and commendable action was recently taken by an eastern conference of the Methodists in the formal recommendation by that body to all their constituents to subscribe, support and read some race newspaper. The resolutions went on to say that the race newspaper had been and is one of the most potential factors in racial progress and advancement, and that at no time had there been greater need for a strong, fearless and well-supported race press than the present time. This is true. And yet, the race press does not receive the support it should. It is rendering a service that will some day be appreciated at its full value. Our Methodist friends are right. "Every self-respecting Negro should subscribe for and read a Negro newspaper. There should be a Negro newspaper in every Negro home." Not only this but white people who keep in touch with the thought, aspirations and achievements of our people should read our newspapers. An increasing number each year does. THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT THE Boy Scouts is an excellent organization. It is in many communities one of the few organizations and agencies which is making for democracy. And God knows America needs to be taught what democracy means. Our boys need the training and character-building of this splendid organization and that is why we have encouraged and will continue to encourage our boys to enter the organization and our young men to become active in scout work. It is because of our deep interest in scouting that we regret the emergency has arisen which has lead to Dr. Morris' resignation as scoutmaster of Troop 23. He is admittedly one of the most A PRAYER FOR DELIVERY PREJU By Morne (For the Association GOD, who hast made me who dost love all whom because of difference in separate ourselves from other teach as the unity of Thy f Thy love.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE THE Monitor bids most cordial welcome to the Nebraska Conference of the A. M. E. church, which is holding its sessions this week in St. Jonh's A. M. E. church. The conference brings to our city some of the ablest and most devoted members of our race who are working diligently and faithfully for the religious and spiritual advancement of our people. Their presence here should be, and we believe will be, most helpful and salutary in raising the spiritual tone of the community.

We can do it. Let us do it. WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY One thing that has become noticeable during the present political campaign, is that the leaders of the two major parties are on the defense so far as the Constitution of the United States is concerned. Senator La Follette's inroads on these parties have had a telling effect and it seems that the only way to offset what is being done by the Independent candidate is to defend the Constitution. We are glad that something has happened that will make the party leaders think of the Constitution, while administering the laws of the land. When we think of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution and recall just how the provisions thereof are being enforced, we cannot but wonder what have the defenders of the Constitution been doing all these years. The Democratic party, in the South, has disfranchised the Negro voters in violation of the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States. The Republican party, like Saul of Tarsus, has stood by and seen it well done. But what is worse still, is the fact that the Republican party, with the reins of the National government in its hands for forty years, with men who represent themselves as the party of Lincoln, has seen men disfranchised, Jim-crowed and denied the participation of the laws of the land solely because of color, and yet has done nothing to restore those rights We are wondering if President Coolidge, who is already President with a Republican cabinet, and the party leaders who are so zealous of the Constitution now-a-days, ever think of how they see the same Constitution grossly violated each day, and remain just as silent as a sphinx. We wonder if they know the meaning of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. We are compelled to mention these things with the hope that now, that they are talking Constitution, it may be, perchance, that the whole Constitution will come before them. It will be remembered that the Constitution knows no color. It was founded upon the theory that all men were equal before the law; that all men had certain inalienable rights which must not be abridged on account of race or creed. So let up hope that this part of the Constitution will be enforced as well as any other, by Republicans or Democrats—The St. Louis Argus RUSSIA FINDS MANUSCRIPTS RY NOTED BLACK POP New York, Oct. 3.—A cable dispatch from Riga reports the discovery of ten unpublished manuscripts of the Russian writer, Pushkin, who, 100 years ago, was banished for his political opinions. To the average American the name of Pushkin is only a sound, but to millions of Russians, Frenchmen and Germans Pushkin is what Shapespeare is to Englishmen the world over. Although there are many English translations of the works of later Russian authors, only a few of Pushkin's poems and writings have been done into English. Is Negro Descendant It was Pushkin who moulded the Russian language, which prior to his time, was uncut and unwieldy, and emancipated Russian literature from the French traditions which had bound it to Racine and Corneille, putting it solidly on a native basis. He was the first Russian writer to portray truly Russian heroes and heroines. Pushkin's epigrams are regarded by critics as among the best produced in any language and many have become colloquialisms with the educated Russian. Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin was born in Moscow, June 7, 1799. He belonged to an ancient family of boys, a class of aristocrats abolished by Peter the Great. His mother's grandfather, however, was a Negro favorite ennobled by the same monarch. Poet Killed in Duel In 1831 Pushkin, then thirty-two, married Natalia Nikolaievna Goncharova, a beautiful society girl of St. Petersburg. Introduced at the palace she became the object of the admiration of every prince and courtier Pushkin even hinting that the Czar himself was not immune from her charms. George d'Anthes, adopted son of Baron Heeckerent (Dutch ambassador to Russia) arrived in St. Petersburg in 1836. The baron's son married a sister of the poet's wife, but, nevertheless, carried on a flirtation with Mme. Pushkin. Their relations became an open scandal at court, whereupon Pushkin challenged d'Anthes to a duel. Except for its outcome the duel seems to have been foreshadowed in "The Shot," one of Pushkin's best prose stories. Both men were wounded, d'Anthes only slightly, while Pushkin died of his wound two days later. Statute Erected in Moscow D'Anthes was banished from St. Petersburg, and to this day Russians spit on the ground in token of execration whenever mention is made of the name of the man who killed "Russia's first love," as Tiatcheff called Pushkin in his poem on the premature death of the poet. Gzar Nicholas appropriated 150,000 rubles to publish his works. In 1880 a statute of Pushkin was erected at Tver Barrier in Moscow and in 1899 all Russia celebrated the centenary of his birth. ST. PAUL'S NOTES Inasmuch as the general public is unfamiliar with Presbyterian methods it is deemed appropriate to set forth the following: Ministers are in charge of Presbyterian congregations under two methods, pastors and stated supplies. The pastor's term of service is indefinite. In the Presbytery of Omaha, which is different from any prebytery in which I have ever labored, the term of the stated supply terminates every six months. For that reason application has to be made to Presbytery twice a year if the law is strictly adhered to. Because of the untiring efforts of a small portion of the congregation Presbytery enforced this rule at the present time. Accordingly the officers of the church met Monday night, and with only one dissenting vote made application to Omaha Presbytery through its Church Extension Committee for my services for the next six months' period. That committee is scheduled to meet next Tuesday. Of course, it is within the discretion of presbytery, as with bishops, to act contrary to the will of the people. Hence it is impossible to say at this writing what the outcome will be. But, as stated last week, whatever course is taken in the matter I feel that my work is unfinished in Omaha, and I will therefore remain doing as I have ever done, whatsoever is in my power for the betterment of our conditions.
