Mr. Simpson left for Oakland Wednesday night, followed by the good wishes of his numerous friends.

Seventy-five officers maintained guard over the jail, armed with machine guns, shotguns, side arms, tear bombs and fire hose. The prisoners were confined on the eighth floor of the jail which was accessible only by a small elevator which was left at the top floor.

C., May 29—Scientists now come to our aid with the announcement that for 25 cents a meal can be prepared that contains all 16 of the substances necessary for proper nourishment. By eating bean soup, bran biscuits, cottage cheese, nuts, etc., instead of expensive pork chops, steak and ham and eggs, these psychologists claim that your system will receive the proper quantities of sodium, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen silicon, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, lime, potassium, sulphur, manganese, iron, flourine, carbon and chlorine.

BOSTON TO HONOR MEMORY OF NEGRO SOLDIER-PATRIOT "Peter Salem Day" To Be Fittingly Observed in Honor of Famous Black Man Who Fought at Bunker Hill. 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF EVENT Equal Rights League Recognizes an Opportunity for Emphasizing Services of Race to Boston, Mass., May 29.—The National Equal Rights League has begun its annual campaign for a nationwide observance of "Peter Salem Day" in honor of Peter Salem, colored soldier of the American Revolution, and his comrades of color who fought in the battle of Bunker Hill, the first pitched battle of the American Revolution which was waged for American liberty and the founding of this first American republic. The battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, at Charlestown, Mass., a part of Boston, where a lofty monument was erected on June 17, 1825. Peter Salem shot and mortally wounded the British commander as he was declaring the victory. Salem Poor was later commended by the Massachusetts Assembly for bravery. Brizail Lew was fifer for a whole company. Boston will have a mammoth official celebration jointly by city and state with the federal government participating, as it is the 150th anniversary, which fact the league claims in its call issued today makes the occasion especially oppontune for us to make known by mass meetings and newspaper articles what American histories obscure from both colored and white Americans, famely that our race contributed soldiers brave and valiant as far back as the very beginning and helped bring this nation into being. As in the case of "Attucks Day" or March 5th, Citizenship Foundation Day, the league urges colored citizens to observe "Peter Salem Day" on June 17, through Equal Rights Committees or branch leagues organized to permanently celebrate historical race days as a means of preserving our rights, privileges and respect with all other citizens, for which cause these Equal Rights Committees and Leagues will contend under race leadership and control. Other racial bodies, religious, fraternal and civic are also urged to observe the day. As an aid, the league will send an historical leaflet upon receipt of 3 or 4 cents in stamps, on Peter Salem at Bunker Hill, together with a summary of colored soldiers from 1770 to 1918 Pamphlets and information on the "Peter Salem Day" movement can be secured by writing to the corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, 9 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. Michigan appears to be recruiting her colored population chiefly from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.

Jackson, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, read the Scripture and made very appropriate remarks as to his impression of the broad Christian spirit of "Father" Moore as he was affectionately called. Rev Geo. W. Slater, Jr., pastor of the Bethel A. M. E. church, preached a fitting sermon from Numbers 23:10. "Let me die the death of the righteous, let my last end be like his." The choir sang inspiringly, and the floral offerings were indeed many and beautiful. The Masonic Lodge, Twin City No. 32 of Council Bluffs attended in a body and took charge of the services at the grave at Walnut cemetery. **Obituary** The deceased, Rev. William A. Moore departed this life Wednesday morning May 20, at 2:30. At the time of his death he was seventy years, ten months and twenty days of age.

Elder Moore was born at Trenton Tenn., and was converted when about sixteen years old in Leavenworth, Kansas. For forty years and upwards he was a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and was recognized as one of the faithful and most effective preachers of his connection until the last few years when because of declining health he became supernannated and was located at Bethel A. M. E. church, Council Bluffs, Iowa. Elder Moore's pastorate covered a large territory extending from Chicago west to the Rocky Mountains. During the years of 1910 and 1911 he was pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, Council Bluffs, Iowa. August 19, 1908, he was married to Miss Jennie Moore. Father Moore leaves to mourn his loss, a widow, a mother-in-law, Mrs. J. B. Moore (who is a first cousin of the late Bishop B. T. Tanner of the African Methodist Episcopal Church), one brother and a nephew, Rev. Albert Moore, a Baptist preacher of prominence in San Francisco, Cal.), and a host of loving friends. He was a member of Twin City Lodge, No. 32, A. F. and A. M. of Council Bluffs, Iowa. Sidestep the fellow who values a friendship only for what he can get out of it. A.C.P. A.C.P. MANY STATES WILL SEND DELEGATES TO DENVER CONFERENCE Congressman L. C. Dyer, Scipio Jones, Dr. G. W.

NORTH JUNIOR HIGH SECOND An immense throng filled the grand stand at Tech athletic field last Friday afternoon to witness the contestants from forty-eight schools strive for honors for their respective schools. Representatives from all nationalities composing Omaha's cosmopolitan population were contenders for honors. Long school which has a large enrollment of colored pupils, its competing teams being composed almost exclusively of colored youths, has for three successive years held the city championship. This year however it did not lose it, but has had to share it with Howard Kennedy school, another school with a large colored enrollment. Howard Kennedy's principal, Miss Francis Eaton retires this year, after nineteen years at the school.

OUR STRENGTH IN OMAHA THE LATEST estimated population of Omaha is 208,000. Of this number 17,000 or one-twelfth of the total population, is credited to our people. Accepting this estimate at its face value, which in our opinion is a little high, it shows the strength and potential power, economic industrial and political of our race in our city life. As little as may be thought of it, one person out of every twelve in Omaha belongs to the Negro race. Were these 17,000 people to drop out of Omaha's population overnight, there would be a tremendous shrinkage in bank clearings and in the receipts of merchants and tradesmen and an appreciable loss in taxes. The Negro population of Omaha is larger than the entire population of any city in Nebraska, except Omaha and Lincoln. Grand Island, the third largest city in the state, has a population of only 15,000, and the next two in rank. North Platte and Hastings, 12,500. So our population in this city is by no means negligible. We do not recognize our potential economic, industrial, social and political power, and failing to recognize it ourselves, naturally, it is not recognized or considered by others. This is why we do not get the recognition to which we are entitled. Not special privileges. These we are not entitled to, neither do we ask them, but a square deal in the field of equal opportunities. As a concrete example: Take the matter of employment in municipal corporations for which we pay taxes: The Metropolitan Utilities Districts, Gas and Water, hundreds of employees in their various departments. How many Negroes are employed? Count a hen's teeth and you will have your answer. Is this right? Whose fault is it? Ours! Because we do not recognize our power and use it. We can apply the same principle all along the line. We do not recognize the tremendous economic power of the dollars we earn and control. If we did, and when we do, as please God, we are slowly but surely learning to do, we will develop and control large business establishments, powerful, because well-supported, newspapers, and other agencies in social uplift and progress. Seventeen thousand people, alert, intelligent, purposeful, united, law-abiding and industrious, what can they not accomplish? We have the numbers. What we need is intelligent, purposeful, united action. We must learn the art and the science, for it is both, of sincere, whole-hearted cooperation. JOIN THE N. A. A. C.

THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE 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." PAGE TWO naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person ual protection of the laws. ored People is putting on an intensive drive for members from June 1 to June 15. Knowing, as every reasonably intelligent member of our race, should of the great work accomplished by the N. A. A. C. P. for justice to our people, and realizing, as they must, the vast amount of work still to be done we cannot understand why any member of our race should hesitate for one moment in becoming a member. If the N. A. A. C. P. had done nothing more than its far-reaching work in reducing lynchings to 17, the number last, year, so making it safer for the life of every Negro in the United States, that fact alone would justify its support. But its splendid achievements are too numerous to mention. Omaha should have a branch numbering 1,000. The National Branch can only be strong, by having strong local branches. It is, therefore, urged that all our people will cooperate in this drive. It is true: "Your Dollar May Save Another Negro's Life." Join the N. A. A. C. P.! Join now! CREATING A NEW RACE By William Pickens (For the Associated Negro Press) In half-amusing, half-serious conversation Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, with the philosophic humor for which she is famous said: "Well, I'm just going to organize as a new race, if this one I belong to doesn't begin to operate better." We agreed to stand ready to help to organize this new race, because a careful, artificial selection would beat nature. We immediately began to list the necessary qualifications for membership in a first class "race". Somebody has spoken to Miss Burroughs about a school for Negroes which the school board had located on a bare, black and unsightly hill—but she remarked that, although it was mean, perhaps, to so locate the school in the first place, yet the institution had occupied the hill long enough for the teachers to have at least started some grass growing on it. "Why, grass hasn't got any prejudice," she quietly observed. For our part, we spoke up for a race that will have the sense to see that no amount of prejudice can keep it from doing the best it can do for itself—that it need not be prejudiced against itself—and that every race must save itself, and can not be saved by "some infloosenshul white folks." We finally agreed that the best way to make a new race is not to examine and enlist a lot of unchangeable grown-ups, but to start with the mouldable, all-possibly babies and little children. Grown-ups are like concrete—they may be broken but cannot be reshaped. Anything may be made out of a normal baby.

NEWS The annual thanksgiving services of the above named order was held Sunday afternoon, May 24th, at Zion Baptist church. Never in the history of the order in Omaha was there such splendid showing. Mr. Duke Diiggs, grand master of the state of Missouri jurisdiction, was present at this service and made a wonderful address, giving true facts as to the financial condition of the order. Many good points were brought out for the benefit of the public as well as the entire membership. The social and marching club recently organized by M. C. Sands, district deputy grand master, made its first public appearance. The sick are: Mrs. Andry Lambert and Mrs. Gertie Wilson of Friendship Temple. Mrs. Emma Gaines met with a painful accident Thursday night, May 21. She is reported somewhat improved at this writing.

Mr. Allen, who is an experienced mechanic, was in the automobile junking business in Kansas City. These young men have the best wishes of their friends for success. One of our successful pioneers is Henry H. Bellfont, who owns and lives on a South Dakota ranch located forty miles from a railroad. NEBRASKA HAS SECOND LOWEST DEATH RATE Although 766 persons were killed in accidents in Nebraska during 1923, this state held second lowest death rate for the year, according to the Bureau of Publicity of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, which has made a survey of figures released by the Department of Commerce showing the number of fatalities and rate for all the states and 497 cities. Mississippi holds first place with an accident death rate of 57 per 100,000 persons, with Nebraska a close second with a rate of 57.4 per 100,000. Of the 766 persons who were victims of accidents in Nebraska in 1923, there were 123 killed in auto accidents, giving the state a rate of 9.2 per 100,000 and with but eight states showing a better rating, and twelve states a lower total of fatalities from this cause. All of the eight states which rate better than Nebraska in deaths by automobile accidents are in the south, and while Nebraska stands third among the states of the union in per capita auto ownership, these eight range from thirty-second to forty-ninth in this respect. None of the twelve states which show a lower total number of deaths by automobile accidents has either as many automobiles as Nebraska, or as great a proportion per capita. Nebraska's population is also greater than that of any of these twelve except South Carolina and Mississippi. One-fifth of Nebraska's accidental deaths, or 152, occurred in Omaha. Of these 40 were caused by automobiles; 10 by railroads, 5 by street cars, 4 by other vehicles, and 93 due to all other accidental causes. Thus Omaha, with 16 per cent of the population of the state suffered 20 per cent of the fatal accidents. In comparison with nine other cities of 200,000 or more population, Omaha stands lowest in point of total number of such death; and third lowest in point of its death rate per 100,000. Among these ten cities of Omaha's class, Columbus, O., had the greatest number of accidental deaths, 228, as compared to Omaha's 152. Totals for the other cities were, Oakland, Calif., 169; Portland, Ore., 195; Providence, R. I., 204; Birmingham, Ala., 214; Atlanta, Ga., 220; Louisville, Ky., 220; St. Paul, 224; and Toledo, O., 226. The mortality rate of Birmingham, Ala., 109.2 per 100,000, was highest among these ten cities, and Oakland, Cal., lowest with 70.4; while Portland, Ore., shows a rate of 71.3, and Omaha 74.4 per 100,000. THE MONITOR Among each 1,000 American-born colored residents of New York State, 374 were born there and 626 moved there principally from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. It has been reported that several of our Chicago politicians had attacks of high blood pressure when they heard that the colored mayor of a little Illinois town left an estate valued at $300,000.

He told of several successful business men in Indianapolis who had risen from meagre beginnings to recognized merchants in their lines. He said that business men ought not aim at being "Colored Business Men", but Colored Men in Business", making their business of such a character that it would appeal to all. He stressed the necessity of "Co-operation". He said we must talk, live, eat and drink, if you please "co-operation" until it becomes an obsession with us.

All the money it receives is used to fight the Negro's battles here at home, where he lives and where he suffers. If your wife, sister or sweetheart is insulted in a public place or conveyance, if your neighbor is barred from seeking a better home because of unfair residence segregation laws, if your friend, husband, brother or neighbor is jerked to jail and probable death on trumped up evidence—the N. A. A. C. P. takes up the cudgel in their defense. And the N. A. A. C. P. is as strong as your dollar makes it! This Association exists in order to combat the spirit of persecution which confronts the colored people of this land, safeguard their full political, civil and legal rights, and secure for them equality of opportunity with all other citizens. Do you know that nearly 4,000 Negroes were lynched in the United States within the past 35 years and that YOU might have been one of these victims? Lynchings in 1924 were reduced to 17, the lowest in thirty-five years, largely because of the work and influence of the N. A. A. C. P. The N. A. A. C. P. in fighting lynching is safe-guarding your life. Is it worth $1.00? Do you know that in every community there are organized efforts to restrict the lawful rights and privileges of colored citizens? The N. A. A. C. P. exists to safe guard these rights. For example—with money and skilled legal talent the N. A. A. C. P. is fighting a residential segregation case in the United States Supreme Court, the decision of which will affect every Negro property owner in the United States. Do you not know that in many communities the Negro is the victim of gross injustice? The N. A. A. C. P. was victorious in a six-year fight costing $15,000 against peonage in Arkansas, securing the release of 67 farmers and SAVING THE LIVES of 12 others who had been condemned to death. The last of these prisoners were released January 14, 1925. Because a number of colored farmers in Phillips County, Ark., held a meeting in 1919 to employ counsel to force the white owners to make an honest accounting, they were attacked, a number killed, and the rest were railroaded through the courts on a charge of "inciting a riot and killing white men." For six years the N. A. A. C. P. never gave up, battling for the rights of these men through every court in the state, finally winning a complete victory in the U. S. Supreme Court.

Ak-Sar-Ben is planning another big running race program that will be second to none in the west. More than $105,000 in purses will be hung up for the horsemen at this coming meeting and advance reservations indicate that horses from every state in the Union and from Merico and Canada will take part in this monster program. The sport of horse racing is becoming more and more popular with the public. The wonderful mile track at Ak-Sar-Ben Field and the arrangement of the grand stand with a seating capacity of 10,000, are such that every movement of the horses on the track can be seen. Some of the finest stables in the country will contest for the handicap purses. In fact, now quartered at Ak-Sar-Ben Field, in a big box stall, is Phusla, the $100,000 French speed marvel. The following are the big events and the days on which they will be run: The Speed Inaugural (Handicap) Wednesday, June 3rd; the Ak-Sar-Ben Queen's Plate Wednesday, June 10th; the Omaha Chamber of Commerce Stake (Handicap) Wednesday, June 17th; the Ak-Sar-Ben King's Cup (Handicap) Saturday, June 20th; the Nebraska (Handicap) Wednesday, June 24th; the Stock Yards Derby (Handicap) Saturday, June 27th. There will be twenty-two days of wonderful racing with six or more races each day. PREJUDICES NOT INHERITED Washington, D. C., May 29—Tendencies toward thinking and acting in certain ways, which are called habits, are the outgrowth of training and experience. They are not inherited, says Dr. W. A. Thom, of Boston, who has written an interesting article on the subject of "Child Management" for the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor. According to Dr. Thom, we begin to form habits at birth and go on through life, forming them quickly and easily in youth and more slowly and with difficulty as the years advance. "The morals of most of us are to a large extent," he continues, "the result of habits of thinking formed in early life. Most of our prejudices are the outcome of habits of thinking formed in childhood. Many persons as children develop a feeling about racial and religious differences which may lead in later life to intolerance and hatred toward their fellowmen. This same attitude of mind is seen in children toward their playmates who have the misfortune of being orphans, or the child whose mother is a scrubwoman or whose father is a garbage collector. Care should be taken to see that children are early taught kindness and consideration for those less fortunate, nor unconsciously they will form their attitudes from the home atmosphere." Dr. Thom insists that our manners are a collection of habits and that we do a rude or a courteous thing almost without stopping to think. H. J.
