$2.00 a Year—5c a Copy MEDICAL OFFICER AT VET'S HOSPITAL GET$ DISMISSAL National Advancement Association Makes Investigation of Grievances of Patients REPORT SUUSTAINS CHARGES As a Result of the Investigation the Offending Official Is Removed From His New York, October 17.—Investigation by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of charges made by colored war veterans in the government hospital at Oteen, North Carolina, has resulted in summary dismissal of Dr. Archie McAllister, (white) associate medical officer of the hospital. The N. A. A. C. P. investigation followed complaints received from the colored war veterans last spring, and Mr. Johnson found the following abuses at Oteen: 1. That Ku Klux Klan agitation has produced a threat against one of the colored war veterans and a petition asking for the removal of 29 of them to the government hospital at Tuskegee. 2. That 26 colored patients were segregated in one ward where there was bad overcrowding. 3. That Dr. McAllister's attitude toward colored patients had been intolerable and that he had let it be known he wanted to get rid of all colored patients. 4. That Dr. McAllister had forced patients to pay for signing insurance blanks, which is contrary to government regulations, and that Dr. McAllister had accepted pay from colored patients in the governments hospital, threatening them to make them silent. 5. That Dr. McAllister charged a patient for the signing of sick blanks and threatened the patient for reporting the matter. Upon completion of the N. A. A. C. P. investigation at Oteen hospital, Mr. Johnson forwarded his report, supported by affidavits and other documents, to General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, in Washington. Mr. Johnson's report was acknowledged by E. A. Shepherd, chief of the Inspection Division of the Veterans' Bureau, in a letter dated May 28, 1924, in which Mr. Shepherd said: "It is believed that the information contained in your letter and in of the affidavits submitted will be of much assistance in correcting any irregularities which may exist." The outcome of the N. A. A. C. P. report and of the investigation conducted by the Veterans' Bureau, is reported as follows in the Asheville Citizen in a special dispatch from Washington: "A letter from Dr. James Miller, medical officer in charge at Oteen, advised Dr. McAllister that the central office at Washington had directed a discontinuance of his services after giving careful consideration to a report of an investigation made of his case". The Asheville Citizen's dispatch further reports that Senators Simmons and Overman of North Carolina have been asked by southern whites to intercede for the dismissed officer.

A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1924 MEN WOMEN ORGANIZE WILLIAMS-BARNETT BOOSTER CLUB THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE Pledge Themselves To Work for the Election of Member of School Board and State Legislature. Wednesday night a number of women met in the headquarters of the Coolidge-Dawes club in the Jewell building at Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, and organized a booster club to further the candidacy of the Rev. John Albert Williams for a member of the school board and of F. L. Barnett for the state legislature. The meeting was called to order by M. F. Singleton, who stated its object. A stirring address was delivered by Dr. L. E. Britt, president of the Colored Coolidge and Dawes club, in which he stated that the time had come for contending for representation on the school board and in the legislature and pledged himself to use all his influence towards this result. He was heartily applauded. The meeting was then turned over to the women, who organized "The Women's Williams-Barnett Booster Club." Mrs. J. Alice Stewart was elected president by acclamation; Mrs. Jennie Sellers vice-president and Mrs. Grace M. Hutten, secretary. Father Williams and Mr. Barnett were called upon and each spoke briefly pledging themselves, in the event of their election, to give their best services to the duties of their respective offices.

Meeting adjourned to meet next Wednesday night. All women are urged to attend. Democratic Candidate for Governor Unequivocally Opposes Hooded Order. (Declaration) J. N. Norton, democratic candidate for governor of Nebraska, at the Labor Temple in Omaha Monday night set his audience wildly enthusiastic when he declared his attitude on religious liberty was the same as that of John W. Davis, democratic candidate for president. At the beginning of his speech he picked up a statement he had prepared and read it. It was: "I do not intend to permit the opposition to divert my discussion away from the real issue in this campaign. But, so that there may be no misunderstanding regarding my attitude and position on religious liberty, I here state that my position and attitude on this question is the same as that of John W. Davis, the democratic candidate for president. "I am in favor of the constitutional guarantees of religious liberty. I am opposed to religious bigotry and intolerance in every form and by whomsoever practiced. "I am not a member of the Ku Klux Klan and have only such information regarding it as is a matter of general knowledge. "If any organization, no matter what it chooses to be called, whether Klux Klan, or by any other name, raises the standard of racial or religious prejudice, or attempts to make racial origins or religious beliefs the test of fitness for public office, it does violence to the spirit of the American constitution, and must be condemned by all those who believe, as I do, in American ideals." PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH MARKS MILESTONE Pleasant Green Baptist church, Twenty-second and Paul streets, observed with appropriate services and exercises the seventh anniversary of its organization and the third of its pastor, the Rev. Z. E. McGee, last Sunday. Large congregations were present at all services. At 11 a. m. the anniversary sermon, which was preached by the Rev. E. H. McDonald, D. D. pastor of St. John's Baptist church. In the afternoon a mass meeting was held with several excellent addresses and reports. An inspiring service was held at night. The Young People's organizations, and other societies had their part in the anniversary exercises. In the three years pastorate of the Rev. Z. E. McGee there have been 900 added to the membership of the church and the sum of $42,000 has been raised, the receipts for this year thus far being $7,000. The church has purchased three houses and lots at Twenty-fifth and Decatur streets, the income from which is used towards the support of the church services and activities. A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the choicest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Folk."

Phillips of St. Louis, field agent of the National Republican committee, held two conferences in Nebraska Saturday—at Lincoln in forenoon and at Omaha at night. Mr. Phillip's work is not to make addresses, but to confer with a few local leaders to ascertain local conditions and to receive suggestions as to how the National committee can help by supplying speakers and furnishing literature. About twenty-five men and women were personally invited to this conference, but only about half this number attended. Among these were Dr. L. E.

Alice Stewart and Mrs. James G.Jewell, active in women's work; Sergt, Isaac Bailey; Rev. Fred Divers; S. L. Bush, and Rev. John Albert Williams.

Britt, he and Dr. Britt having been class-mates and friends of many years' standing. He left Sunday night for Denver. WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE FOR US (1) They have disfranchised the colored people—taken away our right to vote—in every state where they had strength enough to do so. (2) They have passed segregation laws, and enforced them rigidly against us. (3) They have practiced peonage systems wherever the best citizens would tolerate it. (4) They have tolerated the lynching and burning of our people, when they could have passed laws preventing it. (5) They have sustained an inequitable division of taxes for educational purposes. (6) They have passed Jim-Crow car laws and forced us to submit to them. (7) They are now bringing suit to prove the Fourteenth Amendment unconstitutional which would disfranchise every Negro in the United States. STUDYING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OMAHA It is gratifying to note that several of our young men are availing themselves of the privilege of studying in the night classes at the University of Omaha. Among these are Dr. Craig Morris, who is taking a course in sociology and psychology; John G. Pegg, who is taking English, public speaking and business administration; and Dwight Dorsely, who is taking a course in science, literature and public speaking. It is to be hoped that others will emulate the example set by these young men. GAS SALES BOOM IN 1923 GAS RIELD OF USE WIDENS New methods of utilizing manufactured gas in industry and in the home are responsible for the large increase in the number of students held in the past ten years in leading to a statement made by the American Gas Association. It is estimated that there were twenty billion more cubic yards sold in 1923 than during the preceding year. Gas is now used in more than 5,000 separate ways, according to the association and has increased in consumption 1,000 times since 1923. In order to keep up with the present demands for service the gas utilities finance the program during 1923. The program will materially increase during 1924. OSWALD GARRISON BILLARD DELIVERS ADDRESSES HERE Advises Colored Voters to Become Identified With the Progressive Party and Support La Follette. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of The Nation and one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spent a busy day here last Saturday in the interest of Senator La Follette, candidate on the Progressive ticket for the presidency. He was the guest of the La Follette local campaign committee. He was busy with conferences and speeches throughout the day. He was guest at a luncheon in the Burgess-Nash Tea Rooms at 12:30 at which he made an address. Several colored people were invited and accepted the invitation, among them being C. C. Galloway, who is supporting La Follette and the Rev. Frederick Divers. At 8 o'clock he addressed a meeting in the Swedish auditorium at which there was an audience of more than 500 people. He arraigned both major parties as belonging to the "Wall street bloc"; excoriated the republican administration for the Tea Pot Dome scandals and defended the policies of La Follette. There was a good sprinkling of colored people in the audience. Following this meeting he spoke to an audience composed largely of colored people at Columbia hall. The Rev. Russel Taylor was chairman of the meeting; C. C. Galloway introduced the speaker. Mr. Villard urged the colored people to show themselves the free men that Lincoln and Garrison would have them to be by supporting the Progressive party and then by repudiating the charge that the Republican party owned the colored voter. He charged that since emancipation the Republican party had done nothing for the colored man except to feed him on promises; it had made no honest attempt to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendment, nor to reduce Southern representation. The time for a revolt had come. To support the Democratic party which stands for lynching, Jim Crow cars, peonage and like evils was impossible. The way out was to support the Progressive party, because it is the party of the working classes and with this class the colored people are and will be for years to come largely identified. His speech was loudly applauded. LINCOLN NEWS AND COMMENT Mr. Geo, L. Maston has been confined at home the past two weeks with an infection in his eyes.

GROWING :: :: :: :: THANK YOU Vol. X—No. 16 SEGREGATION AT MISSOURI CAPITOL MEETS OPPOSITION Colored Citizens Present at the Dedication of State Capitol Building Combat Separation Plan SPECIAL SIGNS ARE REMOVED Thousands of Citizens Assemble at Jefferson City to Witness the Dedicatory Core. Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 17. "There is always something to take the joy out of life," is the remark made by a colored lady, a visitor who was here Monday, September 29, to attend the dedication of the Capitol building. Several thousands, principally Missouri citizens, were present, fired with enthusiasm and patrolism. Aside from the picture of the "Capitol beautiful" in their minds, the thought of the pageant offered the most pleasing anticipations. On an occasion of this kind, all citizens, regardless of race, or creed or religion, are wont to feel welcome to the end that the full enjoyment of the day might be theirs. A Ripple on the Waves Everything seemed to be getting along fine. All hearts were aglow as the hoards poured into Jefferson City from all parts of the state. A nice sprinkling of colored people mingled with the crowds. But certainly their hopes were blasted when it was noticed that signs were conspicuously displayed designating certain sections in the seating arena for colored patrons. These were the signs that troubled the calm waters, and the little somethingts that always seek to "take the joy out of life". Negroes Get Busy The matter was called to the attention of J. E. Mitchell by Charlie Robinson and B. D. Abington. State officials were sought, and the matter was brought to their attention. The appeal was made to Governor Hyde, Attorney General Jesse W. Barrett and Col. A. A. Speer, a member of the Capitol commission. Blames Democrats When Mr. Mitchell presented the matter to Attorney General Jesse W. Barrett, the latter stated that the state officials were powerless to act, as the matter of arrangements, and the entire affair was in the hands of a committee of citizens, headed by a democrat, John P. Gordon. Mr. Gordon is regarded as the leading kluxter in Cole county. But the Attorney General was told that the Capitol and grounds are in the hands of the Committee of Permanent Seat of Government, and that this power could not be delegated to any one who would abuse that privilege. Whereupon Mr. Barrett gave his consent to Col. Speer to have the obnoxious signs removed. The matter was called to the Governor's attention, personally, by Mr. Mitchell, who told him it was an insult to the colored people of the state, and that the plea that the Democrats are responsible would not excuse him as chief executive of the state. So, in a short while, the signs were taken down, good feeling restored, and the day passed into history as an epoch making event in which all citizens of the state were proud. Rev. J. S. Farley of Refuge Baptist church conducted his services as usual Sunday. Much enthusiasm was displayed. Rev. H. W. Botts and Rev. Mr. Day have been holding services at the Mt. Zion Baptist church this week. The result of the financial rally during the month was $358. At the close of the services Sunday night the official board of the church presented Rev. H. W. Botts a nice hat in token of his arduous labor the past four years. The C. A. C.'s met in their first monthly meeting with Mrs. Lucy Allen and have accomplished much in their fine art work. They are planning to have a hazair in the near future. The club is growing rapidly numerically, as well as socially. Two new members were added to the roll. The club hopes to accomplish much in the way of helping the various churches and Old Folks Home. After adjournment a delightful three-course luncheon was served by the hostess. The second monthly meeting was held with Mrs. Emma Clifton. Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Payne of Quindars, Kan., were guests of the club. A splendid program was rendered, and the club was favored with an instructive address by Mrs. Payne, who has had a wide experience as an organizer. The club planned to have a Holloween party at the home of the president, Mrs. M. Copeland. After adjournment a dainty luncheon was served.

These books are published by the Stratford Company of Boston. They are known as "The Knights of Columbus Racial Contribution Series." Each volume of the series is written by an able and trained writer who is himself either a member of the group, or in full sympathy with the achievements in this country of the racial group, of whom he treats. For example, the volume which treats of the contribution of ```markdown ``` to the high standard we have always maintained. Prices are radically reduced, in most cases at reductions from 25 per cent to 50 per cent. our race is by Dr. Du Bois and is entitled "The Gift of Black Folk; the Negroes in the making of America." It is needless to say that the work is well done. Dr. Du Bois shows in his own masterly way the generous, but unappreciated, gift of black folk to the making of the American nation. What Dr. Du Bois does for our group other writers, with equal thoroughness and charm of diction, show what others like the Irish, the Jew, the German, the Dutch, the Bohemian, the French, the Spanish, the Italian, the Pole and the Norse group have contributed towards making the United States what it is today, and what, under God, if we are true to her ideals, America yet may become, the highest exponent of an advanced Christian civilization. The purpose of the series is obvious. It is to promote true Americanism. It is to develop nationalism. It is to generate national unity. It is a timely, much needed and serious attempt to cultivate understanding and mutual respect among the numerous peoples who compose what is inaccurately called the American nation. We are, as yet, only a nation in the making. Whatever can contribute towards an intelligent conception of what each group has given and has to give towards the making of this a great nation should be cordially welcomed. In publishing this series the Knights of Columbus have rendered a timely and patriotic service. We hope our readers will secure and read the entire series. Those who are unable to purchase them should secure them from the public library and read them. Such books should be in our homes. FOR THE BOARD OF EDUCATION THERE has been an insistent and growing demand that an effort be made upon the part of our people to have representation on the Board of Education. Rev. John Albert Williams, who, due to his long residence here, ha sa wide acquaintance, and is well-qualified for the position, has been prevailed upon to stand for election. With the united support of our people he can be elected. IMPROVING OUR MINDS THE winter season is close at hand. The long winter nights offer excellent opportunity for reading and study. We should all be anxious to improve ourselves mentally. It would be a good plan to select some course of substantial reading, which we will systematically pursue, during the winter. This may consist in the reading of one good thought-compelling book, which is read, marked, learned and inwardly digested. It may be history, biography, science, poetry or whatever meets one's fancy. No one should permit himself to stagnate mentally. We would suggest that THE MONITOR some of the women who waste a lot of valuable time at the card table, playing whist, 500, bridge and like social games, devote at least a part of such time to the reading and discussion of some worthwhile book. This would furnish mental improvement as well as recreation. This applies also to our men who ought to be anxious to be well-informed and mentally alert. REGISTERING AND VOTING NEBRASKA has so arranged it that there is no excuse for any citizen of legal age to be deprived of the privilege and duty of voting. Ample opportunity is given for registration. Daily opportunity is given for voters to register up until within ten days of election. In many states there are only special days, which one may overlook. No so here. You can register any day in the week, except Sunday, and to meet the convenience of all, there are certain nights when the election commissioner's office is kept open for registering those who have not registered, or those who have moved since their last registration. If you have never registered, or have moved, even next door, since your last registration, then you MUST REGISTER if you want to vote, and it is the duty of every citizen to vote. REGISTER and VOTE. VOTE AS YOU PLEASE; BUT BE SURE TO VOTE. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT WHILE interest centers in the national ticket and earnest efforts are being made by partisans and adherents to interest voters in the election of a president and vice-president, it is well to bear in mind that we are --- COAL Genuine OLD BEN, Lump or Grate Absolutely THE Best.....$10.00 OLD BEN, Small Size.....10.00 ILLINOIS, Lump.....8.50 ILLINOIS, Furnace Size.....8.00 ILLINOIS, Nut.....7.50 HANNAH, Lump.....11.75 COLORADO, Lump.....9.50 Guaranteed 2,000 Lbs. to the Ton Mid-City Coal Company Telephone JAckson 0115 SEW AND SAVE WITH 50 BEST SIX CORD BEST SIX CORD SPOOL COTTON Dressmaking Hints For a valuable book on dressmaking, send 4c. to THE SPOOL COTTON CO., Dept.
