BROWN IS AGAIN HONORED Famous Lecturer to Serve On Reception Committee at Atlantic City WILBERFORCE COLLEGE, Ohio—Miss Hallie Q. Brown, of the faculty of Wilberforce College, lecturer, scholar and teacher of international repute, has accepted the invitation from Madame Mamie Hightower to serve on the Reception Committee at Atlantic City in honor of Miss Golden Brown of America, and four other seintillating beauties from our race firmament. Reading like a fairy tale, Miss Brown's life story is extremely rich in romance and high achievement. Born on a little farm in Chatham, Canada, Miss Brown has rapidly risen in the esteem of the peoples of two continents, and she is today as firmly fixed in the affections of the residents of Aberdeen, Scotland, as she is in those of Aberdeen, Mississippi—in Yorkshire, England, as in New York, U. S. A. She is both a lecturer and interrestive reader of the front rank. Miss Brown has appeared on the lyceum platforms of hundreds of American and Continental cities, always with a single result: a cordial greeting and the unanimous acclaim of the populace. Included in the Hallie Q. Brown repertoire are: Has Big Repertoire "Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee"—My visit to Windsor Castle. "Robert Burns, the Scottish Plowman"—Song, Lecture and Recital. "Paul Lawrence Dunbar"—His humor and pathos in poetry and prose. "Folk-Lore and Folk-Song"—Illustrated by quaint wit and wisdom of cotton field and cabin. "The Humor and Conflict of the World's Oppressed." For Sunday, "Character Building" and "The Call to Arms." Besides these lectures, Miss Brown has delivered hundreds of talks before the Women's Christian Temperance Union and other organizations, including the Y. M. C. A. B. W. T., etc., on various weeks' temperance missions. The Aberdeen (Scotland) Journal, one of the leading literary lights of Lauder-Land, recently said: "Miss Brown displayed remarkable elocutionary, powers, and her gestures were graceful and appropriate. . . Her Negro Folk-Song was a quaint and plaintive lullaby." For some time Miss Hallie Q. Brown has honorably filled the chair of oratory and public speaking at Wilberforce College, Ohio. Fine Reception Committee "Long an admirer of her friend, Madame Mamie Hightower's inestimable service to our Group as a beauty cultist and benefactress, the acceptance of Miss Brown on the International Reception Committee completes a group of race publicists unique in the nation's annals. Besides Miss Brown, Robert L. Vann, edn editor of the Burgh Corier; Edouard Scott, the Rembrandt race artists, and C. C. Building, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co., have already signified their intention of assisting Madame Hightower in welcoming the loveliest girls and women of our Group in Atlantic City. Besides the Hudson Super-Six Coach, which will be given to Miss Golden Brown of America, along with a $100.00 troussae and free trip to Atlantic City, with all expenses paid—four other free trips and four other $100.00 troussae and forty-eight dazzling diamond rings will be given to those glorious girls, the very flower of our Group, who receive the most votes in Madame Mamie Hightower's National Golden Brown Beauty Contest. From 50 to 100 are packed with each of the justly famous Golden Brown Beauty Preparations, and girls from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oragon, are striving with might and main to achieve the coveted honor. Friends, too, have entered the spirit of the Contest and are backing their favorites to the limit. Do you believe in evolution? Subscribe for The Monitor! THE MONITOR SHERIFFS ARE CREDITED WITH LYNCHING DECLINE Interracial Commission Sends Commendatory Letter to South's Law Enforcement Officers PREVENT MANY MOB MURDERS Vigilance and Determination of Officers to Protect Prisoners Result of Aroused Public Sentiment Atlanta, Ga., July 24.—To the endeavors of sheriffs and other peace officers in the performance of duty—sometimes dangerous and on occasion unpopular—is to be credited the steady decrease in the number of lynchings, the Commission on Interracial Co-operation holds in a letter sent the sheriffs of the several southern states. The growing number of reported "preventions" of mob violence in proportion to the decreasing number of lynchings, the letter sets out, is clearly the result of the officers' vigilance and at the same time points "the way to the final extinction of mob violence," by which peculiarly the American crime may speedily be wiped from the map by faithful officers, backed by an aroused public sentiment." The commission's letter to the sheriffs, signed by Dr. M. Ashby Jones, chairman, and Will W. Alexander, director, is as follows: "During the last three years America's annual lynching record has decreased 70 per cent—from fifty-eight in 1922 to twenty-eight in 1923 and to sixteen last year. This is most gratifying and has occasioned nationwide comment. "That this trend is due largely to the vigilance of sheriffs is clearly indicated by a study of the records. In 1914 there were fifty-two lynchings and only fourteen reported preventions. In 1924 the figures were reversed—sixteen lynchings and forty-five preventions. These figures tell the story and point the way to the final extinction of mob violence. In this effort our officers have undoubtedly had and will have the full approval and support of enlightened public opinion in the south." "The purpose of this letter is to express on behalf of the Interracial Commission and its hundreds of affiliated state and county committees their cordial appreciation of the fidelity and courage on the part of the sheriffs which has brought about this gratifying change. In successfully opposing mobs these officers are doing something more than protecting their prisoners, whether guilty or innocent. They are protecting the law and constitutions of state and nation. They are upholding the good name of their communities, their states and their country. They are defending civilization itself against the threat of anarchy. This peculiarly American crime may speedily be wiped from the map by faithful officers, backed by an aroused public sentiment. To that end we wish you Godspeed and pledge you our hearty co-operation and support." REV. CHARLES STEWART DIES Chicago, Ill., July 24—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Telegraphic dispatches from Guthrie, Okla., bring the news of the death of Charles Stewart, veteran newspaper man, who resided in Chicago. Mr. Stewart, perhaps better known as Charles Stewart, has been one of the foremost journalist of the Negro race for many years, writing under various pen names, such as, "J. J. O. Midnight" and "Charles E. Stump." He was a correspondent to many weeklies and dailies and to the Associated Press, and was a familiar figure at various conventions held throughout the country. In addition to being a good newspaper man, Mr. Stewart was an ordained minister and a leading spirit in the National Baptist convention. His passing coming after several years of failing health, brings to a close a brilliant and useful career. He is survived by Mrs. Effie Stewart and Charles Jr. FOR RENT—Furnished or unfurnished rooms for rent to respectable married couple. 2310 Twenty-second street. WEBster 4162. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1925 UNITED STATES SENATE COMMITTEE PUBLISHES VOL.1 OF TESTIMONY ON AMERICAN IMPERIALISM RECHRISTENED AS A MARK OF RESPECT (Editorial in Dallas, Tex., Morning News.) The sleeping car Sirocco was in the wreck that cost so many lives near Rockport, N. J., last month. When it comes out of the repair shops it will bear the name of Daniels. The new name is in honor of the porter who used to have the car in charge. Oscar J. Daniels he was on the pay roll of the Pullman Company, but he answered to Oscar or Daniels or George. It was all the same to Oscar. Black though his skin was, he had the heart of courage when the last great testing came. In the face of clouds of live steam from the wrecked locomotive he closed the door of his car and saved others instead of himself. The steam took Oscar into its arms of Volume I of the testimony given before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, on the subject of American domination and exploitation of Haiti, Santo Domingo, Nicaragua and other South and Central American countries, has now been published and includes the testimony of James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Dr. Ernest H. Gruening; Lewis S. Gannett, an editor of The Nation; Dr. Samuel Guy Iman and Mrs. Helena Hill Weed. The hearings were held on the Ladd Resolution which would prohibit military action by the government in behalf of private investors in foreign countries. Startling facts were elicited in the testimony now first published. Mr. Gannett stated that of the 21 republics in the Western Hemisphere "are under almost complete domination by North American bankers. In 6 of the 10 the financial agents are, or have been, supported by American troops on the ground. At least four other countries are closely tied to the United States by fiscal bonds, and in these and other concessions and loan contracts seem likely to lead to a repetition of the old process by which the marines follow the investor." In the case of the Republic of Salvador, asserted Mr. Gannett, "the bankers, in selling their bonds, promised substantially that warships of the United States would be used if necessary to collect their loans." HAMPTON ENROLLS OVER SIX HUNDRED TEACHERS Hampton, Va., July 24—(By the Associated Negro Pres.)—Dr. George P. Phenix, vice-principal of Hampton Institute, reports that the first session of the Summer School for Teachers includes 76 men and 521 women. Of the total enrollment of 667, Virginia has furnished 226 students; North Carolina, 244; Maryland, 54; South Carolina, 27; Georgia, 18; Alabama, 14; Florida, 13; Kentucky, 10; Arkansas and Mississippi, 9 each; New York, 4; Kansas and New Jersey, 2 each; Connecticut, Illinois, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania, 1 each. PAYS TRIBUTE TO OUR SONGS Hampton, Va., July 24.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Rose Morgan of Leonia, N. J., who is well known as the author of "Songs That Live", published by Cornell university, recently gave in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, a song recital as a curtain raiser to the observance of Independence Day. Mrs. Morgan declared that the Negro folk songs had made a distinctive contribution to the song life of America. COLORED TEAM CHAL- Sterling, Ill., July 24.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Despite the emmity of the Klan and the superstition which Negroes are supposed to harbor in respect to the organization the Sterling Browns, one of the best baseball teams in this section of the country, has challenged the local Ku Klux Klan outfit for a game to be played here for a side purse during the Klan demonstrations at the end of the month. On the day after the challenge was issued the Browns defeated the Sterling Stars, a white team which had not been defeated this season. agony and handed him over to death. But he lived long enough afterward to wave an attending physician to a little child whose need he adjudged greater than his own. It is said that this is the first time in the history of the sleeping car company that an employee's name has gone on a car. But there will be no criticism of its lapse from policy. Bravery knows no conditions save the need of it, and manhood rises above the accidents and inheritances of life. No man could have done more than Oscar Daniels did. A man can not be born too humble or by misfortune sink too low to reach up and achieve heroism, provided the stuff of heroes is in his heart. It may be that Oscar Daniels did what he did without thinking. It may be that it was all over before he consciously thought at all. It may ENATE COMMITTEE STIMONY ON AMERI James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peep, who was the next to testify, said of the occupation of Nicaragua and Haiti: "I think that the placing of American troops in those two countries was almost wholly if not entirely dictated by the protection of the financial interests. The reasons put forth for our intervention in Nicaragua and Haiti, that is, the reasons put forth to the public, I don't think are the true reasons. Indeed, they are sheen hypocrisy. When we went into Haiti our government said, and it was generally given out to the American people, that we went in to protect American lives and to establish the truth of the matter is that we had been negotiating diplomatically with Haiti for several years, and very actively for more than a year, to establish some sort of suzerainty over Haiti. There came up some events which gave us the opportunity or, I might say, the excuse to go in, and we went in and took over the Haitian government. Actually there never had been the loss of any American life in Haiti before the American occupation." Of the charge that American troops had to suppress "banditry" in Haiti, Mr. Johnson said: "There was no such thing as banditry in Haiti before the American intervention. They had a country in which the percentage of crime was considerably less than in (Columbian Press Bureau) There are approximately 3,100 colored women employed as elevator operators. Farm wages have increased over 200 per cent during the past sixty years. The report is current that our hair-dressers are forming a national organization. Charleston county, South Carolina, has 398 less colored farmers than five years ago. When more of our leaders adopt the old slogan "Not for self but for all" our progress will be more pronounced. HOUSTON SEEKS HIGH SCHOOLS Houston, Tex., July 24.—By the Associated Negro Press. The Interracial Committee of this city at a recent meeting decided to ask the city administration for the addition of five colored men to the police force of Houston, and also for the establishment of a senior high school and two junior high schools for colored children. The meeting was held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms and was attended by a group of representative white and colored leaders, mostly business and professional men. NEGROES PROTECT Detroit, Mich., July 24.—Determined not to be run out of their new home by a mob of white hoodlums, seven Negroes barricaded in a house opened fire on the attackers who were bent on usuring them from the house on account of their color. In the melee one white boy was killed. The police arrived on the scene just in time to prevent other casualties. Following the event, signs were poster in the neighborhood calling a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan on July 25. be that the grooves of duty to those for whom he was responsible held his actions when actions counted most for them—and most for him because of them. But, however, these things may be, no man, be he black or brown or white, need hesitate to take off his hat as he enters the sleeping car that Oscar Daniels rechristened with sacrifice. The next regular meeting of the Old Folks Home will be held at Elmwood park, August 5th, instead of at the Home. Meeting at 10:30 a. m. Breakfast will be served to all ministers and their wives, also members, at 8:30 a. m. Members who are not donating who attend the breakfast will be expected to pay for their breakfast. The board meeting is the first Thursday evening in August at 8:00 p. m. All members expected to work. Dr. Hutten's office. PUBLISHES ICAN IMPERIALISM our own country, and women—white women—could travel from one end of the country to the other without the least molestation. Robbery was almost unknown. These Haitians who got the name of 'bandits' were men engaged in a futile attempt to expel the invader believing they could do something to regain the sovereignty of their native soil. The America of 1766 would have called them patriots, not bandits." The testimony of Dr. Ernest Gruening, former managing editor of The Nation, gives the full history of the United States invasion of Haiti, the seizure of custom houses and national funds and characterizes as "murder" the dropping of bombs on Haitian villages and shooting of Haitian natives. Mrs. Helena Hill Weed, whose husband was a mining engineer, testified that she had travelled throughout the mountains of Haiti on horseback and had never been molested. She gave it as her opinion that the American occupation had worked great harm to the country. Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, in the course of his testimony, gave an exhaustive analysis of the loans made to or forced upon South and Central American republics by bankers of the United States. The volume of testimony is recommended by the N. A. A. C. P. to all those wishing accurate and extensive information on the imperialism practised by their country. TENTH CAVALRY BAND AT BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING Tulsa, Okla, July 24.—The entertainment committee of the Tulsa Negro Business League, has through the instrumentality of the Senators Harold and Pine, just completed arrangements with the War Department for the 10th Cavalry band to furnish music for the entertainment of the National Negro Business League, which meets here August 19-20-21. Tulsa expects to entertain the National Negro Business League in grand style. NORTH CAROLINA SUMMER SCHOOLS THRIVE Raleigh, N. C. July 24.—That the colored teachers are vastly interested in better peraping themselves for their present profession, is clearly indicated in the report released by N. C. Newbold, director of the Bureau of Education in the state of North Carolina, which states that more than four thousand teachers are enrolled in the summer schools of the state. Commenting upon the schools Mr. Newbold says: "If the white people would see how these schools are run, some of them would change their views concerning the program that education is making among colored people." New York., July 24.—The peonage system so prevalent in the southern states is being used by the Portuguese in Africa, according to a statement issued by Dr. Edward Ross, professor of sociology of the University of Wisconsin, who has recently traveled extensively in Africa. The statement charges that the Portuguese colonial government requisitioned native labor in Portuguese Africa on a wholesale scale and used it without pay to promote and develop and was further leased to private planters. The report has been turned over to the League of Nations for action. HOSP NEGRO PHYSICIANS GAIN ADMITTANCE HARLEM HOSPITAL First Time in History of America That Negroes Have Been Chosen For Metropolitan Hospital Staff VICTORY RESULT OF AGITATION Ex-Alderman Harris, Editor of New York News, Heads Movement in Which Various Organizations Join New York, July 24.—As a result of ten years of effort and agitation, the Board of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals of New York appointed in June five colored physicians of New York to the regular staff of Harlem Hospital located at 136th street and Lenox avenue. Harlem Hospital is one of the chain of the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals which include Bellevue, Harlem and Fordham Hospitals in New York City and King's County Hospital in Brooklyn. The physicians appointed to the staff are Drs. Louis T. Wright, Douglas B. Johnson, Ralph H. Young, Jas. T. W. Granady and Lucien Brown. Ten colored internes will be appointed after passing the required examinations to begin their services July 1, 1926. The agitation for admission of qualified colored physicians to the staff has been led by former Alderman Geo, W. Harris, editor of The New York News; Ferdinand Q. Morton, democratic leader of Harlem; the North Harlem Medical Association; the N. A. A. C. P., and numerous other organizations and individuals. Harlem Hospital is located in the heart of Harlem and with the rapid increase of the Negro population in that section of the city, a large majority of the patients are colored. There has been a steadfast refusal to admit qualified colored physicians but after a hearing before Mayor Hylan, it was decided to appoint the above named five men on the indoor staff, and a number of other colored physicians on the out patient department staff. There has been great enthusiasm in Harlem as a result of this step. The success of these five men will in a large measure determine the question of admitting other physicians to Harlem and other New York hospitals and will profoundly affect the hospital situation in other cities of the country. This is the first time in the history of America that Negroes have been admitted to the regular staff of a Metropolitan hospital, as a part of the institution's policy. WOMEN CONDEMN BULLARD Newburgh, N. Y., July 24.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—The Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs in their annual meeting here recently assed resolutions condemning Robert Lee Bullard's Memoirs of the Great War in which the erstwhile general disparaged the courage and valor of Negro soldiers. The resolutions were as follows: "Whereas the memoirs of General Robert Lee Bullard on the recent World War have been spread over the entire United States; and "Whereas these memoirs are untrue and slanderous, be it "Resolved, That the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs goes on record as deeply resenting the statements of General Bullard, and be it further "Resolved, That we urge the Negro youth of our state to attend the Plattsburg camp and get all the benefits to be derived therefrom and qualify for all legal activities of our state and country." In its resolutions concerning the Klan the federation declared that "the principles of the Ku Klux Klan are an outrage to all Negroes, Jews and Catholics", and that "the parade of the said Klan in the nation's capital is an outrage to all American principles." Group A of St. Paul Presbyterian church will give a lawn social on the church lawn, Thirtieth and Ohio streets, Thursday evening, July 29.

GROWING :: :: :: :: THANK YOU 24 Vol. XI—No. 3 PITALS gro Band Date Kept Dan from Accepting But Desdunes Has Agreed to Play for Omaha Klan Some Other Time Omahans who haunt the Ku Klux field on Pacific street, hoping for a thrill, may get it soon, says the Omaha Daily News. For they are likely to be confronted with the strange spectacle of Dan Desdunes' band, famous Negro musicians, playing for a Kluxer parade. "The Ku Klux Klan wanted me to play for them on the Fourth of July," Dan proudly reported. "I'd have been tickled to death to do it, if I hadn't already contracted to play over in Macedonia. And I'd have put it over DIRECTOR DESDUNES DAN DESDUNES with a bang, believe me! Couldn't have any better advertisement than to play for the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan offered me double pay, and I tried to get off from Macedonia. But I couldn't, so I agreed to play for them some other time." Mr. Desdunes has accepted an engagement to play on two different occasions. The Monitor is reliably informed, one at Council Bluffs, next Tuesday night, and another at a subsequent date no yy given. CHICAGO COLORED POSTAL WORKERS ARE PROMOTED Chicago, Ill., July 24.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Word received from Congressman Madden's office in Washington recently brought gladness to the hearts of local postal workers when the announcement was made that three Negro clerks had been promoted to foremen. David B. Hawley, president of the Appomattox club; Howard Cornwell, also a member, and Henry F. Wilson, president of the local branch of the National Postal Alliance, were the newly selected. Their appointment was somewhat in the nature of a compromise. For several years the postal employees have been urging promotion for some few of our workers as a proof that there was no limit on ability when demonstrated and that the government placed all its servants upon a par. More persuasive methods were adopted when Leader Edward H. W. Wright with the support of Congressman Madden entered the fray. A superintendent of a station was hoped for and the names of the three men now appointed were mentioned in connection with that position. The result was the appointment to foremanships of all three who had the endorsement of all the local postal organizations, the Phanxn club, the Chicago branch of the National Postal Alliance, the Railway Mail branch of the Postal Alliance and the Chicago Post Office Circle Club. UPHOLDS BEQUEST TO MAID Trenton, N. J., July 24—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—The will of the late Mrs. Emma L. Woodward, of this city, who died leaving most of her $50,000 estate to her colored maid, Miss Amelia M. Stewart, was upheld last week by Vice-Chancellor Leaming in the Mercer County Orphans' Court. The bequest to Miss Stewart includes the $25,000 home and personal property to the value of $25,000. Relatives of Mrs. Woodward contested the will, but the vice-chancellor held that there was nothing to support the charge that the testator had been unduly influenced.

DETROIT DISGRACED DETROIT, Michigan, has been for years considered one of the fairest and most broad-minded of cities in its treatment of its colored citizens. This was especially true in the matter of residence. Respectable citizens of color owned and occupied homes in almost every section of Dertoit and do yet. The moving of a colored family into a neighborhood met with no opposition. But this is changed now, showing the virus and prevalence of the residential segregation germ which has been generated at the National capitol, and how an evil example spreads. Recently Detroit has been disgraced by near riots because colored citizens, of culture, wealth and refinement, moved into property owned by them in certain neighborhoods. One was the case of Dr. Turner. He and his plucky little wife refuse to sell or move. And they are absolutely right. The other is the case of Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Bristol. Prominent race citizens of Detroit came to their assistance when their home was attacked. They, too, stand upon their constitutional rights. When cities like Detroit, Mich., face this mob spirit in the matter of residential rights what can be expected of less favorable communities? It shows the serious situation facing respectable colored citizens everywhere when the question of home ownership arises. Detroit's disgrace is these recent hoodlum outbreaks sounds the note of warning to the race everywhere to be prepared to fight to the last ditch for the right to ownership and occupancy of property. Fortunately colored Detroiters are not cowards. They believe and will act upon the principle that every man's home is his castle. IS IT NOT A MISTAKE? DAN Desdunes, our famous handmaster, is a gentleman for whom we have the highest esteem, and it is for this reason that we regret most keenly his acceptance of an engagement to play for the Ku Klux Klan. He is quoted by the Daily News as saying that he would gladly have played for that outlaw organization on July 4, had not an engagement at Macedonia prevented his doing so, and that he promised to play for them later. The World-Herald quotes him, in explanation of his acceptance of an engagement for July 28, as saying that "It's business with me. My hand will play for anyone or any organization which heit." That, of course, is one way to look at it; but when one considers the whole genius and spirit of the Klan we cannot see how Mr. Desdunes or any other self-respecting colored American can justify any official association whatsoever from any point of view with that damnable organization, whose fundamental philosophy, try to lie out of it as they will, is the repression and suppression of the Negro whom they consider, inherently inferior to the most degraded Nordic and non-assimilable into American civilization. Could they carry out their plans, successfully, no Negro, however clean, competent and capable he might be could ever rise to any position of honor or trust within the nation of which he is a citizen. The Klan has a program, and that program vitally affects the American Negro's rights of citizenship and advancement. There is some sinister motive back of the engagement of Desdunes' band and that THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedman negligible. No element of Ar yet clearly woven itself into and acting as the American N explorers and helped in explore the first the foundation of the cause of the rapid growth economic importance. Modern 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."

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 final protection of the laws. is to give the impression that the Klan is not opposed to the Negro. Of course, it's business, but we cannot help but feel that Dan Desdunes is making a serious mistake and degrading himself and splendid band by playing for the Klan. POLICY PLAYING POLICY playing is a form of gambling which is unblushingly and openly carried on in Omaha. We suppose that in principle it does not differ by one jot or tittle from gambling carried on by higher ups on the stock exchange and other presumably "respectable" forms of this very prevalent vice. The unfortunate feature about it is that it is in indulged in by thousands of deluded poor people who cannot afford this expensive luxury. There are people who will deprive their children of bread while they place their dines and quarters upon elusive numbers with the hope of making a "catch" and winning a relatively large sum. The amount hazarded daily may be considered small and insignificant, but it is the steady drain day after day, which mounts to a large sum in the aggregate. If those who spend as little as ten cents a day playing policy were to put that amount in a savings bank they would have more at the end of the year than they would be able to "catch" at several wins; and would have what is infinitely more valuable than money, a feeling of self-respect. Those who play policy and indulge in other forms of gambling, unless they have become shameless and sordid, have a feeling of sneakishness and meanness. It is regrettable that so many of our race in this city are patrons of the policy game and we wish that they could be induced to see its folly. This vice is not confined to the sporting class and so-called vicious elements, but it is indulged in by those who rather pride themselves upon their respectability. Policy peddlers make regular trips twice a day to regular customers in all parts of the city. We are not foolish enough to believe that we can stop it, but we do we hope we can influence at least some of our readers to give up being victimized and put their money to a better use. "Could not the city authorities stop this vice?" we are asked. Of course they could if they wanted to. But that's another question. WHAT HAS BEEN GAINED? THE faecial trial at Dayton has ended as foreseen. It was all over but the shouting and side-showing almost before it began. Scopes has been found guilty. Tennessee has been advertised. Bryan and Darrow have occupied much front page space. What has been gained? Men and monkeys have much in common. Men carry on monkey shines and monkeys imitate men. It is said that imitation is sincerest flattery.

Washington.—"Activities of Chinese agitators in Shanghai, which is, with the possible exception of Cairo, the most cosmopolitan city in the world, direct attention to the picturesque setting of this exotic hybrid of East and West," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. "Approaching the city from Woosung, its port on the Yangtze river, the villages, graveyards and anchored ships of all kinds become more numerous as one nears the wharves. The hum and roar of factories and cotton mills belle the real atmosphere of this metropolis of central China. It is not until the heavy, half-slackening smell of bean-oil, incense, opium smoke and of human beings penetrates the nostrils that the true Asiatic flavor of the city is revealed. "Although the quaint Klangsun junks are rapidly disappearing, the cargo junks, sampans, and speedy slipper boats still vie with the motor launches of huge steel and wooden vessels from every port on the globe. "Shanghai, like Venice, is a city built largely upon piles sunk far into the soft black sand and saturated clay upon which the city rests along the banks of the Hwang-pu river. Huge reinforced concrete rafts are buried in this clay, and the foundations of the buildings are laid on them. "The foreign settlements are delightfully modern, with plenty of space, light and air, and are as clean and orderly as accidental cities. The French maintain their own concession under a government separate from that of the other 20 powers, with their own language and the 'rues,' 'qualls' and other signs typical of the home-land. The Old and New Shanghai. The Old and New Shanghais. "In striking contrast is the old Shanghai, where most of the Chinese live. Going through the gates of the native city one passes into another century. Old temples, cramped courtyards, where flowering peonies and chrysanthemums can be glimpsed in passing, and an endless succession of narrow streets, hung with rococo banners of Chinese characters, and filthy and reeking with a thousand odors, differentiate it at once from its smaller modern cousins but a short distance away. "A tea-house set in the middle of a stagnant pond is one of the treathing places of the old city, where sellers of lade and cheap jewelry, letter writers, fortune tellers, cobblers, menders, peddlers, jugglers and others of Shanghai's polyglot population gather over teacups or chatter endlessly in high pitched voices. The Chinese theater is another native oddity. The want of scenery, the din of the orchestra and the piercing intonations and gaudy costumes of the actors furnish a spectacle, which, while not always pleasing to Western tastes, is always colorful and unusual. "Shanghai's sobriquet, The Paris of the East," refers more to the gayety of its social life than to any external resemblance to the French capital. It is not nearly so picturesque as Hongkong, or that queen of Oriental beauty. Foochow. Shanghai cannot set out a thousand lanterns on a dozen hills 1,800 feet up into the night, as Hongkong can, but her more intimate house and garden decorations are famous. There are lanterns everywhere, certain types are used as shop signs, and with their non-sputtering cold tallow candies they shed a perfect light. "Bubbling Well road is the Riverside drive, the Champs Elysees, or the Ring-strasse, of the foreign settlements. Along this winding modern thoroughfare a panorama of the city's life passes in review. Once the resort of closed broughtams and fine cars of foreign dignitaries, it now rattles with anything that can go on wheels, and the rickshaws and wheel-barrows of the natives, darting in and out among the carriages, taxis and limousines, furnish a gay and motley spectacle all day long. Foreign Quarters Attract Chinese. "Although the 'settlements' were first laid out for foreigners alone, the Chinese have come over to them in great numbers to enjoy the protection and advantages of foreign rule. Rich Chinese often retire to the new sections to enjoy their wealth in safety, or to spend it in reckless dissipation. In the foreign settlements are white man's sports of all kinds, racing, golf, tennis, shooting, house boating, swimming etc. Good libraries, magnificent clubs, theaters, hotels of all nations, and a spirit of co-operation between the foreign nations represented have made Shanghai one of the pleasantest places to live in the Orient. "Many of the railroads leading into the central part of the country have their terminals here. Shanghai is the Chicago of China in this respect. The first railroad in China was a 12-mile stretch connecting the city with its port, Woosung. Although the tracks were torn up by reactionaries soon after they were laid, the seed was well planted, as the many lines of steel throughout the country today bear witness. "Shanghai is not only a great commercial emporium, handling nearly half the foreign trade of China, but it has also become, in recent years, with the lucky number. Any woman or girl wishing to join the Y. W. C. A. can do so by calling the membership chairman, Mrs. Eva Pinkett, WEBster 3180. Renewals are also taken care of through the membershi chairman. Monthly vesper services will be held Sunday, July 26, at the association, Twenty-second and Grant streets. Everybody welcome! one of the greatest Chinese industrial centers, with a large laboring population. Cotton and silk cocoon winding mills employ thousands of workers. In addition there are a large number of smaller factories, manufacturing matches, paper, cigarettes, fireworks, wood carvings, jewelry, etc. "Much of the occidentalization that has come to China in the past half century has filtered through Shanghai, especially through the great printing establishment there which has turned out excellent translations, into Chinese, of the literature and ideas of the West. Shanghai also possesses several daily newspapers, printed in both foreign and native languages." Wanderlust Dies With Omaha Gypsies' Queen Omaha, Neb.-The fierce wanderlust which flamed in the breasts of the older generations of the Romany gypsies of Omaha died with their queen. Matilda Wells, queen of the American Romany gypsies, ruled with her husband, Hezekiah, the wandering Romanes of this continent for fifty-six years. She and her husband led a small band of countrymen to America in 1869. The trails ever beckoned their covered wagons. They lived and roamed, moved only by the urge to view the far side of each horizon. Age laid cold hands on the beautiful girl-queen and her stalwart husband, but through the years they appeared ever young through the love-lensed eyes of their subjects. The band grew, 300 persons now belong to the Royal English Romanies, Tribe of America. Then, on March 21, 1925, Matilda Wells died, at the age of seventy-five. With her in Forest Lawn cemetery the old men of the tribe buried wanderlust. A tall monument of Warsaw granite marks the end of the colorful trail of adventure and romance trod by their queen. This year the annual trip has been abandoned. King Wells and local members of the tribe can find no solace on the road. They will make their last camp near the resting place of their queen, and Omaha will be the future burial ground for members of the tribe. They wait the day they may lie at the feet of their queen in Forest Lawn cemetery. British Boat 124 Years Old Still in Service Southampton, England.—The little ketch Bee, built 124 years ago and still in service between Southampton and Newport, on the Isle of Wight, completed its thirty-eighth thousandth crossing of the Solent channel. The Bee began its sea duty in 1801 and is one of the very few ships remaining from whose decks men witnessed a British naval victory at sea with Nelson on board. During one period of its career it was commanded for 48 years by the same captain. The Bee has been on the Isle of Wight run virtually all of its existence up to the present time and, according to members of its loyal crew, it is good for many years yet to come. The little craft has carried more than 500,000 tons of cargo between the mainland and the Isle of Wight, covering something like 500,000 miles, although the distance between Newport and Southampton is only 18 miles. Three younger sister ships of the Bee have been plying the same route for approximately 50 years.

GENERAL BULLARD'S BOOK (From the Springfield Republican) General Robert Lee Bullard, of "Otie Alabam," seems to have a hard time in winning the war, according to the accounts in his book recently published Gen. Clarence Edwards looked crossly at him. Gen. Pershing declined to spank Gen. Edwards for such conduct, and the Negro troops "ran away." Which is probably the reason that the French government decorated several companies and regiments of Negroes for bravery. Gen. Bullard should not allow his southern sympathies to overcome his spirit of justice and fair play. MAN SHOT AND KILLED BY BROTHER-IN-LAW George Morgan, 40, white, of Boone, Ia., shot and killed his brother-in-law, Henry Snell, colored, Sunday night at the home of the Snells, 1511 North Twenty-first street. According to the story told police by Morgan he had come to Omaha Sunday to persuade his sister, who it is alleged was the common-law wife of Snell for twenty years to leave him. A quarrel resulted in which it is claimed by Morgan that Snell threatened to stab his wife with an ice-pick, whereupon Morgan shot him three times, one bullet piercing the heart. Morgan was placed under arrest by Officers Bailey and Sullivan. A coroner's inquest was held at the Jones Undertaking Parlors Monday afternoon, but the jury could not agree upon a verdict. A charge of murder was filed by the County Attorney, but at the preliminary hearing held in police court Tuesday Judge Dineen dismissed the case. The only witnesses were Morgan and Mrs. Snell.

Acute Indigestion Wednesday Morning The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Russell were shocked by the news of Mrs. Russell's sudden death, which occurred at the family residence, 4023 Seward street, early Wednesday morning from acute indigestion. Mrs. Russell in apparently the best of health and spirits had been out riding with her husband Tuesday night and on returning home ate lunch.

JOHNSON 1515 No. 26th St. Web. 1984 --- Madame Hightower Madame Mamie Hightower formed it when to fall would have meant 32 more lives lost in the horrible disaster. The late Ben Gwyn, has also received front-page notice because of his noble character and unselfish devotion to church and city during his long life. He was a member of the Episcopal Church. Spending 47 years on two jobs, at the time of his death Mr. Gwyn was head of the shipping and delivery departments of Ridgely's, the finest tailoring house in the South, as well as one of the oldest in the United States. In the past 20 years with Ridgely's, Mr. Gwyn handled more than $1,000,000 of bank deposits and pay roll money, according to President Faquin of the Ridgely Company. He knew nearly all of the prominent men of Memphis and of Mississippi by name. He is survived by five daughters and one son. Another Memphian who is being honored throughout the South is Madame Mamie Hightower, internationally famed beauty culturist, who is at present recuperating from strenuous months, taking a short trip South. She will be back at her home within two or three days.
