ENT COOLIDGE GREETS NEGRO HERO LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy PRESI STATE DEPARTMENT GIVEN MEMORANDUM BY HATIAN DIPLOMAT Pierre Hudicourt Submits Document Asking Withdrawal of United Armed Forces from Island WANT THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT Patriotic Union Making Withdrawal Demand—A Non-Partisan Organization With Membership of 20,000 New York, June 5.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that Pierre Hudicourt, former member of the Hague Peace Tribunal and now a member of the American Institute of International Law, who is representing the Haitian Patriotic Union in the United States, has sent a memorandum to President Coolidge and the Secretary of State asking the withdrawal of armed forces of this country from Haiti. The memorandum charges that in violation of the Haitian constitution the country has been governed without regularly elected representatives of the people, by a council of state nominated and dismissed by the President. Mr. Hudicourt charges that President Louis Borno of Haiti on March 18 of this year dismissed seven members of the council and appointed seven new members more favorably disposed toward himself, in order to make his continuance in office more certain. Despite the fiction of a Haitian government, Mr. Hudicourt charges that General Russell, the American High Commissioner in Haiti, "concentrates into his sole hands all the powers of the country. The de facto President Borno depends upon him for all and everything." Urgring restoration of representative government in Haiti, Mr. Hudicourt says: "The U. S. Government has always given the assurance that it does not intend to confiscate or to attempt to confiscate the sovereignty of a weak neighbor. Recently Secretary Hughes said: 'We recognize the equality of the American republics, their equal rights under the law of nations.' "There is no reason not to believe such official declarations. However, the Haitian people believe that after almost ten years, time has come for this Government to prove the efficiency of those various promises and declarations." The Patriotic Union of Haiti, in whose behalf Mr. Hudicourt drew up and presented the memorandum, is a non-partisan organization with more than 20,000 members throughout the island of Haiti. Thomas Lee Received at White House —Entertained by Tennessee Association of the District of Columbia Special to The Monitor by Walter J. Singleton. Washington, D. C., June 5.—Thomas Lee, Memphis hero, credited with saving the lives of thirty-two persons when the steamer Norman went down in the Mississippi river recently with the loss of more than a score of lives, was received by President Coolidge at the White House. Accompanied by the owner and editor, respectively, of the Memphis News-Scimitar, who arranged for Lee's trip to Washington, he was ushered into the President's office, was commended by him for his bravery, and was later photographed shaking hands with Mr. Coolidge. The Tennessee association of the District of Columbia met Lee at the Washington Post building and entertained him until 3 o'clock. He was taken to the Arlington National cemetery, where he placed a wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He was then conducted on a sightseeing tour of the city, and finally turned over to the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, an Episcopal clergyman, with whom he remained until his departure. Before returning to Memphis Lee expressed his pleasure at his reception in Washington, and was especially desirous of returning here to educate himself and his two sons, Thomas and Woodrow. He also expressed his gratitude for his treatment by the citizens of Memphis. He has been recommended for a Carnegie medal award for heroism. The American public spent $250,000,000 on radio equipment last year. THE MONITOR NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor Omaha is to again have the rare and to-be-coveted privilege of hearing the eloquent and scholarly William Pickens, former dean of Morgan College, who resigned his influential and lucrative position in the educational world to devote himself to the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Pickens will speak in Omaha at a mass meeting at St. John's A. M. E. church Sunday afternoon, June 14. Wherever Mr. Pickens speaks he attracts large audiences. Those who have heard him once want to hear him again. (Columbian Press Bureau.) Washington, D. C., June 5—Labor is being better paid in the United States, than anywhere else in the world, according to the National Industrial Board, which recently made public a survey of economic conditions in America and Europe. The Board sad: "The American wage-carner, or the basis of what his pay will buy for him, is paid more than twice as well as his British colleague in London; nearly three times as well as the man in Amsterdam; more than three times as well as the worker in Germany; and nearly five times as much as the worker in Italy. GIRL BRUTALLY ATTACKED AND BEATEN BY UNKNOWN DEGENERATE ASSAILANT Miss Bernice Givens, a young girl employed at the DeLuxe Cafe, was attacked by an unidentified man, believed to be colored, at Thirtieth and Ohio streets, about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning, as she was on her way home from work, and brutally beaten in her struggle to defend herself from the evident design of her assailant. According to the young woman's story, she was detained at the cafe, where she is employed until nearly 10 o'clock, when she started for her home at 3008 Miami street, going west on Burdette street. As she reached Thirtieth and Ohio street a man suddenly came up behind her and dragged her into the alley between Ohio and Miami. As she screamed and struggled her assailant beat her. Her screams were heard by people in the neighborhood who called police, but the assailant made his escape. It is alleged that persons who heard the girl's screams hesitated to investigate believing that it was some man quarreling with his wife. As Miss Givens says she can give a good description of her assailant it ought not be difficult for the police to arrest him. The average value per acre of farm land in Beaufort county, North Carolina, has decreased nearly $30 since 1920. The latest controversy in the Baptist Church (white) is whether the rite of baptism by immersion should be regarded as optional or compulsory. Mr. I. Knowitt Hes wrong again WAIT A MINUTE!

Headen, Chicago dentist, who recently won a Civil Right suit against the Tivoli Theatre Co., has written to thank the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for its aid in winning the case and has sent a check reimbursing the N. A. A. C. P., which advanced money to permit a witness from New York to testify at the Chicago trial. Dr. Headen writes: "In the future, I sincerely hope that I can be of some material assistance in the advancement of the principles of the organization. Until then, please believe that I appreciate and am in sympathy with your work." ETHIOPIANS NOT NEGROES (Columbian Press Bureau.) Washington, D. C., June 5—It is now claimed by Harvard University scientists, headed by Dr. Geo. A. Reisner, who has spent twenty-six years exploring ancient Egypt, that Ethiopians are not African Negroes. He says: "The inhabitants of both Abyssinia and Ethiopia were mixed races. In antiquity, as today, the whole region was inhabited by dark colored races in which brown prevails; but they were not and are not African Negroes, although many individuals show a mixture of black blood through intermarriage." For the benefit of these learned scientists we might add that there is not now nor has there ever been a tribe on the continent of Africa ethnologically classified as Negroes. The term "Negro" originated with the Portuguese and originally meant black. PULLMAN COMPANY APPOINTS NEGRO EXPERT (Columbian Press Bureau.) Washington, D. C., June 5—C. Cornelius Webb, of 1773 Tea street, N. W., veteran employee of the Pullman Company, has been appointed as special investigator and conciliator in the Company's Bureau of Industrial Relations, Chicago, Ill. This appointment was made in order to give the 11,000 Negro service men running on Pullman cars actual representation and a voice in their work relations with the company. Webb will travel through the eight Pullman zones, with the idea not only of improving the service, but seeing that fair play in the matter of wages and conditions of labor is made a positive policy of the company in providing profitable employment for the thousands of Negroes in the Pullman service. There is one colored retail dealer in groceries to 1,651 colored people, as compared to one white dealer to 407 whites. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1925 THE COMING OF PICKENS U. S.

Talks will be given by organizers during the noon hours near great factories where the organization of Negro employees is much desired, and scenes stimulating unity among all workers will be shown in moving pictures to be used by lecturers who will visit all the important points n the United States and Canada. New York, June 5.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is informed in a letter from the U. S. Post Office Department that its complaint against "The Argus", a newspaper of Rockaway Beach, N. Y., which published an incendiary anti-Negro editorial, has been referred to the Department of Justice for investigation. The editorial complained of, advised white men to take into their own hands the cases of Negroes accused of annoying women and not to let the cases come before the courts.

NEGRO TWELVE COLORED STUDENTS GRADUATE FROM CENTRAL AND TECH HIGH SCHOOLS Central and Tech Tigh schools graduate this year 576 students. Graduates from South High, North High and Benson High bring the total to 734. Twelve colored students graduate from Central and Tech or about two and half per cent of the total number, which is a decided gain over the ratio of former years. From Central the boys are in the majority, which is quite unusual, there being four boys and three girls while at Tech there is one lone boy among four girls. The Centralites are Gerald Adams, Jesse C Hutten, Martin Thomas, Weldon Solomon, Florence Jones, Melva McCaw and Ruth Pegg. Those from Tech are Mae Allen, Katie Cheney, Cleone Macklin, Helen Redd, Theodore Davis, "Teddy" being the lone "male of the species". Solomon and Thomas have been outstanding athletes at Central, Solomon having been recently awarded six medals and two silver cups for track work and Thomas winning honors in football, track and discuss throwing. They were two of the thirteen outstanding stars of Central who were honored by Coach Schmidt at the class banquet last Friday night at the Hotel Fontenelle.

GROWING THANK YOU 7 Vol. X—No. 47 HERO TEACHERS SEEKING EQUALIZATION IN SALARY PAYNENTS Colored Teachers Are Conducting Vigorous Campaign to Remove Discriminations in Stipends PARITY IMPROVES EFFICIENCY Illiteracy Rapidly Declining in States Which Made Adequate Provisions for Education of All Classes (Columbian Press Bureau.) Baltimore, Md., June 5.—In Baltimore the colored teachers are conducting a vigorous campaign to have their salaries in the public school system placed upon a parity with those paid to their white contemporaries. In the Monumental City teaching qualifications for both races are identical and the standards of education for school youth are the same, leaving the discriminatory salary differences between whites and blacks, together with inferior building and class room equipment the only distinctions which prevail in Maryland in its duty to its youthful citizens of today, who will take up the burden of tomorrow. Salary discriminations, usually common to states which have separate schools for white and colored youth, are the most baneful result of that system. However, in those few state which have equalized salary standards for white and colored teachers a fairly happy sentiment exists in the minds of colored taxpayers, who know that their contributions to the public treasury of the state are being equitably divided for all public purposes, including teaching compensations for both white and colored instructors. Close scrutiny will disclose that illiteracy among Negroes is declining in states which make adequate appropriations and grant equalized salaries for the education of Negro youth. School attendance, too, is on the increase in those states, whether they adhere to the separate schools or mixed schools policy. Maryland's democratic governor would do well to press for the equity sought by the colored teachers of his state, and thus point out the way for other southern states to follow, in case any of them desire to show a change of heart and genuinely apply themselves to supplying increased educational advantages for all citizens; for, as Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts once said: "No talent is too high for education, and no price too great for understanding." And it naturally follows that talent and understanding know no color line—neither do the dollars and cents with which talent and understanding may be stimulated and promoted. Since 1920 there has been a decrease of 302 farm operators in Warren county, Mississippi, 295 of whom were colored. The chief divisions of mankind are the Causacian, Ethiopian (not Negro), Mongolian, Malay and American; or, as familiarly called, the white, black, yellow, brown and red races. Some of our automobile drivers will not be able to qualify as charist drivers on the golden streets. G. W. Turner, a young colored man in New York City, is the proprietor of an electrical shop in which he employs twelve men and a female book-keeper. A candidate for office had been campaigning rather strenuously for several weeks and it was his habit to get home about 1 a. m. with a beautiful jag. Finally his wife got tired of his conduct and concluded to give him a scare. She watched for his home coming and whe she staggered from the gate toward the house she jumped out from a cluster of bushes with a sheet over her head and posed directly in front of the old man. He halted and staring as the ghost-like form said, "Who-hic- are you?" "I am the devil," growled the ghost. "Oh, that's all right," stammered the husband. "I ain't afraid of you. I married your sister sixteen years ago." One of the important political speakers addressing a packing house audience was interrupted by a laborer and it made him angry. Pointing his finger in the fellow's face the speaker said: "I don't mind being swallowed by a whale, but I do object to being gored to death by a shrimp. Now you keep still."

JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. 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 de- pended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only dees the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American litera- ture but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negre folk lore and music are the ‘choicest heritages of this land. Finally the Negre has a spiritual role in America as a sert of i’ test of our ideals and an example ef the fait tolerance of our religion —Du Beis, “The Gift of Black Felk.’ AGE TWO AN EXCELLENT ANSWER THE MONITOR has noticed with pleasure the alertness of some of our thoughtful and well-infornied young men in replying through the columns of our dailies and especially the “Public Pulse” column of the World- Herald, which is most broad-minded and impartial as a public forum, to articles which deal with various Phases of the race question. Well written and dignified articles of this character, without rancour, spite or pettiness always compel a respectful reading and help create a healthy and helpful public sentiment. Of such a character is the following letter from the pen of Attorney W. B. Bryant which appeared in the World-Herald of last Wednesday: Editor Omaha World-Herald: In one of the daily papers a few days ago there appeared an article concerning a proposed experiment by German scientists with African babies to determine whether or not they would revert to a lower order of animal life, if isolated throughout their formative years from the so- called higher forms of animal life. ‘This experiment seems unnecessary in the light of our American experi- ment with chattel slavery. Under this system the black slaves were quite isolated from the higher forms of animal life. A majority of them had no contact whatever with higher forms of animal life than domestic mules, imbruted overseers and petty tyrant masters. Our experiment last- ed two hundred fifty years and em- braced millions in numbers. “Did the chattel slaves revert to cave men or apes? Certainly not. But the sys- tem destroyed the humanity of the slaveholder and the slave. And the twentieth century should not have an ‘experiment anywhere, the object of which is to degrade human beings to a lower order of life. All of us should be engaged now, as the noble men and women were en- gaged in the struggle to overthrow and supplant chattel slavery in the early sixties, in elevating the less for- tunate beings among us to higher standards of humanity. It makes no difference that this last venture is made in the name of science. It is wrong. Learning should be used to lift men to higher planes of life. Fortunately, for every so-called scientist in Africa seeking reversion of human beings to a lower form of life, there are hundreds of men and she working to raise them from their lowly station to a higher plane vof life. _ Besides, one does not need, to go to Africa or to experiment to find cave ‘men or reverted human types. They "may be found in the jungles of every large city in the world, and all of them ‘are not black with wooly hair, and ‘they are a long way from Africa. CONGRATULATIONS, STUDENTS WE sincerely congratulate _ the young students of our race who, in increasing numbers yearly are taking advantage of the educational oppor- tunities offered them. This year twelve young men and women gradu- ate from Central and Technical high school. They have had the grit and courage to stick and their parents have been willing to make sacrifices for them to remain through these years of pupilage. Many of them are planning to go to college and every encouragement should be given am- bitious youth who are anxious to fit themselves for useful service by the best training they can obtain. The aim of education is training for work; not the avoidance of work. And this is the ideal the thoughtful, progress- ive student keeps before him. The in- crease in the number of our graduates drives home the necessity for our planning to make places for them in the business, industrial and profes- sional world. Are we striving to do this? We must urge our young peo- ple to equip themselves for efficient service and we must do our part in helping provide fields of service for them. Congratulations, students; con: gratulations, parents—but the end is not yet. Look to the end!

All the money it receives is used to fight the Negro’s battles here at home, where he lives and where he suffers. DEFENDS YOU If your wife, sister or sweetheart is insulted in a public place or con- veyance, 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! THE OBJECT: JUSTICE ‘This Association exists in order to combat the spirit of persecution which confronts the colored people of this land, safeguard their full polit- ieal, civil and legal rights, and secure for them equality of opportunity with all other citizens. IS THIS NOTHING TO YOU? 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.

Is it worth 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 skilied legal talent the N. A. A. C. P..is fighting a residential segregation case in the United States Supreme Court, the de- gision of which will affect every Negro property owner in the United tates. f 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 condemmed 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 fore the white owners to make an honest ac- counting, they were attacked, a number killed, and the rest were rail- roaded through the courts on a charge of “inciting a riot and killing white men.” For six years the N. A. A. C.
