A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, Aug. 28.—The National Association for the Advancement of People has learned that the Staten Island grand jury has brought an indictment against Musco M. Robinson and others not named, for conspiracy in attacking and stoning the house of Samuel A. Browner, a colored postman, who was threatened with death to himself and his wife if he failed to move from the neighborhood. The indictment was returned last week. Representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, including Charles Studin, member of the legal committee, and Herbert J. Seligmann, the association's director of publicity, were in conference with Mr. Browne recently, and with Mr. Browne upon Judge J. B. Handy who will probably act as counsel for Mr. Browne in bringing a suit for damages against Robinson. Robinson, against whom the indictment is returned, is a next door neighbor of Mr. Browne and has led in the movement to force the Browne family out of their home. Robinson hails from the South, and was active in real estate operations in that section of Staten Island. The indictment was brought as a result of repeated mob attacks on Mr. Browne's residence in the course of which the lawn was ruined, plants destroyed, windows and doors smashed. In the course of the campaign to terrorize Mr. Browne and his family, telegrams signed by fictitious names were sent to fire insurance companies, warning them that Mr. Browne's house would be bombed or burned and that they had better cancel the insurance they were carrying. For a time Mr. Browne found it impossible to obtain any insurance as a consequence of this conspiracy. At the present time a police guard is constantly maintained at Mr. Browne's residence, a patrolman being stationed there from four o'clock in the afternoon until eight o'clock in the morning, as all the attacks heretofore have been made in the night or very early in the morning. A meeting is to be held by colored citizens of Staten Island to raise funds in order to conduct the civil suit for damages which Mr. Browne plans to bring against Robinson, and the reev. A Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church of New York City has offered the use of his church building for a similar meeting. Mr. Browne has been bravely standing his ground despite all the efforts of his enemies and despite the danger to which his wife and three small children have been subjected. Mr. Browne declined to sell his house although offered $1500 more that he paid for it, saying his stand was a matter of principle involving the status of colored citizens. NEGRO DIRECTS WHITE CHORUS IN SOUTH Richmond, Va., Aug. 28.—For the first time in the history of this city as far as is known, a Negro is to direct a white chorus. Joseph Matthews, director of the Sabbath Glee Club here, is now training a chorus of white men made up of singers from various church choirs who are "Shriners." They are preparing for a trip to Atlantic City at which place they intend, it is said to sing under their black director. Fayetteville, N. C., Aug. 28—Rev. G. Scott Turner, white, of Cedar Falla Fabbai church is a minister who does not welcome robed and masked visitors to his church services. When a body of Klanmen entered the church, he insisted that they leave. APE AND MAN BLOOD DECLARED THE SAME Oakland, Cal., Aug. 28.—Dr. David Starr Jordan of Stanford University fame declares that the scientists are correct in saying that the blood of man and the ape are the same. The assumption is based on the fact that the blood of the two mix without any ill effect. THE MONITOR SOUTH CAROLINA NOW PAYING PENALTY. OF PENURIOUS POLICY Expenditure of 97 Cents Per Annum For Education of Negro Youth Contributing Cause of Migration ILLITERACY IS PREVALENT Washington, D. C., Aug. 28.—The ravages of the boll weevil and the migration of colored farmers have hit South Carolina a blow from which she may not soon recover, probably not until there is a greater diversification of crops and a reorganization of the entire educational system of the state. Certainly the high percentage of illiteracy among both whites and blacks in the Palmetto state is not a contributing factor to constructive economic readjustment or to healthy and permanent progress. Conditions in Saluda county, located in the western part of the state, are typical. This is the county in which the per capita expenditure for education of children on the basis of teachers' salaries, was only $7.78 per annum for the white and 97 cents for the colored, as reported several years ago by the U. S. Bureau of Education. Paltry expenditures where nearly 5 per cent of the white and about 28 per cent of the colored inhabitants are classified as illiterate makes this glaring illustration of a most unfavorable situation. During the past five years this county has lost 657 Negro farmers. Land in farms has decreased by nearly 30,000 acres, and the value of farm land and buildings by 35 per cent. A further comparison with the year 1920 shows 500 less horses, nearly 900 mules, 1600 cattle and 850 less swine. The cotton crop in 1924 was 14,553 bales under the 1919 production, a decrease which represents a staggering financial loss to the local farmers and business men. To this can be added the money loss sustained through a decrease in the production of corn, sweet potatoes, peaches and hay. From other counties come similar reports, and it has been conservatively estimated that fully 15,000 colored farmers in addition to thousands of farm laborers have left the farms of South Carolina to engage in industry and to locate in other states where living conditions, employment opportunities and educational facilities are more attractive. COLORED GIRL TREATED KINDLY IN FRENCH MUSIC CONSERVATORY (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, Aug. 28.-Maude J. Wanzer, a colored music student, whom it was sought to bar from going to France to study at the American Conservatory in Fontaineblau, has written to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, to say she was cordially received there and that the French officials and professors of the school show no trace of race prejudice. In thanking the N. A. A. C. P. for advising her to persevere in her effort to attend the school, Miss Wanzer writes: "It is indeed a great pleasure to write to you and try in my poor way to thank you for the assistance given me in my most needful hour. Enrouragement, truly meant everything." "The director of the conservatory is really a broad and intelligent man as well as a musician. I have never in my life been accorded the kindness and welcome he extended to me. Each day he shakes my hand and says something encouraging. When they were making the pictures of one class, I thought it another, he caught my arm and took me flying through the corridor and up the stairs, calling 'Encore' and rushed me into the picture. It is such a pity that other members of my race did not come on for the trouble is truly not over here. Please thank all interested persons for me and assure the Negroes, thru the papers the trouble is not in France." Miss Wanzer reports cordial treatment from the American students at the conservatory, even from the girls from Texas. Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 28. - Ellsworth Rosina and John Rosina, brothers, and William Williams, all 13 years old, and residents of Cornwall, Monday received from the Pennsylvania Railroad company checks and letters of commendation for an act of bravery. When a cloudburst occurred on the South Pass mountain on the afternoon of July 25, the rush of waters swept a considerable portion of the slag bank onto the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at Furnace station near Cornwall. Standing waist deep in water, the boys flagged a passenger train. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1925 Some One Either Ashamed of or Afraid to Give Name Approves Principles of Kluxies The legal representative of Colvary Baptist church, who holds a mortgage on Pilgrim Baptist church at Twenty-fifth and Hamilton streets, and which has defaulted in its payments, demanded as the only condition upon which Calvary would extend clemency to Pilgrim that the pastor, use Rev. Will Franklin, resign immediately. It is stated that the trustees of Pilgrim Baptist church had on one or two occasions requested the pastor's resignation and that some months ago he had tendered it to become effective October first, but me mortgagee insisted upon immediate res- Our readers will recall the sane and sensible letter from the pen of Attorney H. J. Pinkett on the Ku Klux Klan, which we published with editorial comment in our issue of August 14. The letter was originally published in the World-Herald. Under date of August 14, and post-marked, Omaha, Nebr., Harney Sta., August 15, Mr. Pinkett received an unsigned letter, which will prove interesting to some of our readers who are inclined to regard the Kluxes as being friendly toward our people. The fact that the writer of this anonymous letters says "I am not a K. K. K," cuts no ice, for in the opinion of the Monitor, the unethical principles and moral obliquity of the hooded order make its members, who as American citizens may be honorable men but as subjects of the Invisible Empire observe a different code, "powful recies' with de truf". Anonymous letters and masked faces are trade marks of the "100% white, protestant, gentile un-American." But here's the letter. It is hardly worth publishing, it is true, but we pass it on as revealing the "logic" (?) of "your best friend": August 14, 1925. H. J. Pinkett, Atty. (Colored) Patterson Blk., Omaha, Neb. Dear Sir: I note your wonderful write up in the Pope's Appeal (World-Herald) of today SATURDAY EVENING POST PUBLISHES HARLEM ARTICLE (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, Aug. 28.-Following the success of the Harlem number of The Survey Graphic Magazine, the Saturday Evening Post, with a circulation running into the millions, has published a lengthy if illustrated article on Harlem, "The World's Largest Negro City," by Chester T. Crowell, in its issue of August 8th. Mr. Crowell, whose article includes much of the material published in The Survey Graphic, concurs with James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P, in finding Harlem not only a world capital for Negroes but an orderly and clean part of New York City as well. He finds Harlem still in process of rapid growth: "As a matter of fact," says Mr. Crowell "Harlem itself is not yet a complete picture of anything; it is too new. Its melting pot bubbles furiously and many things are going on incomplete. Probably the most hopeful feature of the Harlem experiment is that the Negroes themselves are so hopeful about it. Close to this in importance is the fact that New York pays no attention to them. It is entirely possible that ten years from now the establishment of Harlem will mark an era in the history of the black race. Some of its residents feel that it has already achieved that position; scarcely any doubt that eventually the entire civilized world will recognize it as the capital of the colored race. At present it is the largest Negro city in the world; it has grown very rapidly with a minimum of friction, and no disorder. That, in itself, is no mean achievement." As the Saturday Evening Post has published many stories by Octavius Roy Cohen, appearance of this presentation of another side of Negro life is regarded as significant. EAST AFRICA YIELDS NEW DIAMOND GEMS Johannesburg, Aug. 28.—A true diamond pipe, the soft agglomerate of volcanic origin in which diamonds are found, has been discovered at Mwanza, Tanganyika Territory, by a party of South Africans, according to reports from East Africa. The diamonds are said to be exceptionally pure, a parcel recently dispatched from Mwanza averaging a value of eight pounds sterling per carat. ignation, which became effective two weeks ago. The trustees of Pilgrim believe that with united effort their beautiful church property may be saved and have entered upon their work with renewed energy. The Rev. Mr. Franklin followed his congregation here from Brewton, Ala., some years ago, and it was under his leadership that Calvary Baptist church, white, a hand-some and costly pressed brick edifice, was taken over by Pilgrim for a consideration of $35,000, upon which were considered very liberal terms upon the part of the white Baptists who were anxious to move to another part of the city. It is reported that the present indebtedness is about $20,000. about the K. K. K. I agree with you it would make Roosevelt and Lincoln turn over in their graves to live at this age and note their awful mistakes. First when Roosevelt ate dinner with Booker T. Washington and when Lincoln placed a nigger on the same footing as a White Man. That's the reason with many others why the AMERICAN people had to organize the K. K. K. to protect AMERICA from such encroachments that our forefathers were not aware of at that time. After the Civil War the Northern carpetbaggers were trying to make the southern people think that the nigger was eligible to marry their daughters and the K. K. K. was organized for the purpose of upholding the White Man's faith, and thank God for that. White supremacy must be supreme and the niggers of this country must be kept as black as charcoal. If you niggers were allowed to get into power you would soon want to open up the way to marry our daughters. Another reason, don't you know that Rome is trying to Romanize America with their parochial schools? You say this AMERICA cannot be "half free and half slave", neither can AMERICA be half parochial and half public, all children must be made by legislative enactment on an amendment to our Constitution between the ages of 8 to 16 years old to attend our public schools, this to include the children of the colored race too, except colored children must have their own schools JEALOUS HUSBAND SHOOTS WIFE IN FIT OF ANGER (Tasco County Negro Times) Tulsa, Okla., Aug. 28—Dr. P. H. Travis, a colored dentist with offices at 123 N. Greenwood avenue, shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Lucille Travis, Friday evening about 630 in the hall of an apartment at 324 N. Greenwood avenue. He fired four bullets at his wife, killing her instantly and one through his own head, which is not expected to prove serious. Police visited the building immediately after the shooting, placing Travis in jail. The dead woman just prior to the shooting had been visiting Mrs. Carrie Persons, who with her brother, J. R. Booker, of Little Rock, were entertaining a party of friends, many of whom were visitors to the city. Travis phoned his wife evidently telling her he was coming for her. A few minutes later, he visited the apartment which was near his office. His wife bade the assembled friends goodbye and went down the hall with him. A few seconds later revolver shots rang out, and the horrified guests rushing into the hall found the wife lying dead, and the husband unconscious from the wound. Travis had been practicing in Tulsa about fifteen years. He and his wife both had borne excellent reputations, but he was reputed to be insanely jealous of her. Among those present at the time of the shooting were Mrs. Carrie Persons, J. R. Booker, and the dead woman's sister, Miss Annie Goodwin. She was the daughter of J. Goodwin, a local undertaker. J. R. Booker and Mrs. Persons are of Little Rock, Arkansas, being children of the late J. R. Booker of Arkansas State College. DISCOVER NEW RACE OF DARK PEOPLE New York, Aug. 28.—Prof. B. N. Gorodkoff, a Russian explorer who has traversed Western Siberia, reports the discovery of a hitherto unknown Dark Race on the River Poora. The tribe calls itself "Neshen," which means "Forest Men." Their language is entirely dicerent from that of any of the other nationalities populating Western Siberia. These people have dark hair and dark complexion. They have no intercourse with their neighbors and few of them engage in fishing and hunting beyond the borders of their own little country. IDA COX, PARAMOUNT RECORD ARTIST, AT THE LAKE As an indication of the superlative vaudeville which will be presented at the Lake theatre this season, the management announces that the well known record singer, Ida Cox, will be featured as the headliner of a four act bill. The special attention of all colored people is called to the fact that an entirely new show will come to Omaha every Monday, direct from the Grand theatre at Chicago, Ill. Bills will be changed every Monday and Thursday. Shows will start promptly, at seven and nine each evening, with matinee every Sunday. as they do not belong to the Caucasian Race. It is the Caucasian Race that brought you out of bondage and it is your duty to look up to the ones that took the shackles from your boot tops. It is your duty to be the under dog on account of God made you black for the purpose of becoming servants of the White Race. The K. K. K. don't care a T. D. how high you arise up among your own people but to place you on a higher pedestal than your White brother called for friction between the races, and brings about the blood you talk about going to be spilled in the future, in fact, brother, the K. K. K. is your best friend, it's the foreignborn Catholic that is trying through the Pope of Rome, who is your worst enemy, to Romanize America. The ballot box is going to tell the story without blood being spilled and in time your ballot will be a thing of the past, because of the fact White Supremacy and your voting don't go hand in hand. However you are to be looked after just like our MOTHERS and DAUGHTERS were for many a year before they had the franchise. If you come again I am with you for another article. The World-Herald will not print this, if you get them to I will sign it; that's another reason why the K. K. K. is in time in AMERICA. I am not a K. K. K. but their principles are correct. NEGRO APPPOINTED FOREMAN IN BALTIMORE POST OFFICE Baltimore, Md., Aug. 28.—Naron M. Cummings, formerly senior clerk at the Falls station of the Baltimore post office has been promoted by Postmaster Benjamin F. Wooler, Jr., to the position of foreman at the Falls station, which is the largest U. S. sub-station in the Baltimore district. Mr. Cummings, who has been in the postal service for more than thirty years, won his way to the promotion by efficient service from one post to another in the Baltimore office. He enters upon the duties of his new post with an expert knowledge of the postal machinery and a long acquaintance with the 100 clerks and carriers now assigned under his direction at the Falls station. The new appointee is a brother of the deceased Harry S. Cummings, the first Negro councilman ever elected by Baltimore voters. RACE PROBLEMS TOPIC AT CHRISTIAN MEETING Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 28—Race problems, including that of the American Negro and the cult of Nordic blood superiority, were discussed by various speakers at the session of the Universal Christian conference recently. An American Negro minister of Methodist affiliation, the Rev. William Y. Bell, said he was sure that the hundreds of millions of dark skinned inhabitants of this earth do not acquiesce in the status quo. "We*are determined and set under God by every fair means available and yet to come," he declared, "to puncture the bubble of Nordic superiority. And we have every confidence that the Nordics themselves shall profit by the explosion. We are sure that the Christian forces of America and Europe are with us in this purpose." AMERICANS TO GROW RUBBER IN LIBERIA Akron, Ohio, Aug. 28.-The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company has virtually concluded a lease on 1,000,000 acres in Liberia to be devoted to the raising of rubber. This is the first attempt of American manufacturers to grow rubber on such a large scale. RESIGN gainst Seg JUNIUS G. GROVES, NATIONALLY KNOWN “POTATO KING” DIES Man Born in Slavery, Migrates to Kansas Where He Works For Forty Cents a Day as Farm Laborer LEAVES $200,000 FORTUNE Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 28—One of the most colorful and remarkable characters in the story of the Negro's progress since Emancipation passed away near Edwardsville, Kansas, last Monday in the person of Junius C. Groves, nationally known as the "Potato King" of America. He was one of the wealthiest Negroes in America. According to the Negro Book, Mr. Groves was born a slave in Green county, Kentucky, in 1859. In 1879 during the Kansas exodus, he emigrated to that state and hired out at Edwardsville as a farm laborer at forty cents a day. The next year he rented nine acres of land and planted three acres in white potatoes, sweet potatoes and watermelons. He cleared $125. The next year, he rented twenty acres, and the next year sixty-six acres. In 1884, after all debts had been paid, Mr. Groves had to his credit in the local bank, as the result of three years' labor, $2,200. He then bought eighty acres. His prosperity continued until he owned five hundred acres of the finest land in the state, worth from $125 to $250 an acre. Mr. Groves got the title of "Potato King" because he raised and shipped potatoes on so large a scale. In one year upon his own farm he produced more than 100,000 bushels of white potatoes. In addition to this he bought from other growers and shipped twenty-two cars of potatoes. His fortune at the time of his death was estimated at near $200,000. NEGRO HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION WILL OBSERVE ANNIVISARY Washington, D. C., Aug. 28.—On the 9th and 10th of September, 1925, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History will celebrate its tenth anniversary in this city. Coming to the end of the tenth year of this first systematic effort to embody the civilization of the Negro, the management has invited special attention to this occasion. It marks an epoch in the development of the Negro. The race has been gradually taught that no group can make much progress without preserving a record from which its program for the future can be worked out of the wisdom which can come only with an appreciation of the failures and successes of the past. Consequently, the aim of the Association has always been to adhere to the new plan of presenting the Negro himself to the world as reflected in what he himself has thought and felt and attempted and accomplished. In this way the association has secured the support of both races who appreciate the value of saving the records of the Negro that the race may not become a negligible factor in the thought of the world. A program of noted orators, taken from the ranks of education, business, professional and church life, will discuss the past and present phases of Negro world achievements, pointing out just what the race may hope to accomplish in the coming years. MISSOURI GOVERNOR TELLS N. A. A. C. P. LYNCHING IS BEING INVESTIGATED New York. Aug. 28.—In response to a letter from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, protesting against utterances attributed by the newspapers to local law enforcement officers, Governor Sam A. Baker of Missouri has written a letter giving assurance that the lynching at Excelsior Springs is being investigated. Governor Baker disclaims knowledge of the remark attributed to Ray Cummins, prosecuting attorney, that substantial justice had been done the lynched man. Governor Baker's letter to the N. A. A. C. P. is as follows. "Replying to your communication of August 11th will say that of course I am familiar with all that has been said in the press regarding the affair in Excelsior Springs. I do not know anything about (what) Ray Cummins, the prosecuting attorney, may have said. I do know that Ray Cummins is helping in the investigation and so far is showing a desire to do his duty. The attorney general, pursuant to my request, has appointed one of his assistants to go into the matter." It is freely predicted that there will be little if any result of the investigation, and although the perpetrators of the mob murder are well known in the community there is small likelihood of their being convicted even if they should be brought to trial. GROWING :: :: :: :: THANK YOU 28 Vol. XI—No. 7 NATION gregation SEGREGATION AT WASHINGTON TO BE ACTIVELY OPPOSED Senator Butler of Massachusetts Agrees to Lead Opposition To Distasteful Federal Segregation WILL INTRODUCE DYER BILL National Equal Rights League to Enlist Support of National Committeeman. Urges Race to Act Boston, Mass., Aug. 28.—A direct attack on Federal segregation, resulting in the start of a positive move to eliminate it, was made this week here at a face-to-face interview with the chairman of the National Republican Committee in an audience granted by Sen. W. M. Butler, whose campaign for return to the U. S. Senate is about to begin, at his Boston office, 77 Franklin street, to a delegation of the National Equal Rights League of national and local officers and Rev. H. H. Proctor of the Brooklyn branch. Rev. D. L. Ferguson opened the appeal, Sec. Wm. Monroe Trotter elaborated on the prevalence and injury of the practice and urged Mr. Butler to remove it through his power as national party chairman and chief advisor to the President, stating the League urged the race to support the party in the belief that with a President and a chairman, both from Massachusetts, segregation will be removed. Senator Butler said he was opposed to segregation and would work against it. While it was a matter of principle, yet he had been told there was little of it at Washington, yet his mind was open as to its extent. He did not favor legislation against it, as segregation was an executive and administrative matter. He said he would introduce the Dyer Bill at the coming session. He might not be able to have his way on segregation but would try and would confer later with representatives of the League. Requested to Get President to Act Rev. E. K. Nichols of Cambridge, on getting admission that the evil was executive and that, therefore, the President could stop it by order and that the delegation asked him to get the President to act. Sen. Butler replied that it was not customary for Presidents to interfere with department office regulations. He admitted, however, that evidenced displeasure at a condition by the President usually caused a change. Secretary Trotter declared that segregation was extensive, asked if the senator welcomed information and receiving an affirmative reply, told what he had personally seen, especially in the Department of Justice, Registry of Treasury, etc., and urged the eradication as to toilets, lockers, rest rooms and eating places. Rev. H. H. Proctor stated that in New York the colored people believed that segregation was prevalent and resented it politically and colored leaders could hold them in line if he would remove the practice. Rev. B. W. Swain, national vice-president at large, agreed with the senator that segregation started before Wilson, was republican, and so should be removed by republicans. He declared that a nod of the head by President Coolidge to cabinet officers would remove it and the league asked that he get the President to give that nod. Race Action Asked Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson's offer to again send data as to where segregation existed and how much was accepted. Segregation is too notorious to be called slight. It can be seen by senators. The league appeals to every member of the race, who doubtless will criticize the republican chairman if he does not discover its extensiveness, to let Senator Butler know the facts and the feeling of the race at once. YOUNG* TEACHER AND COMPANION DROWN (Columbia Press Service) Washington, D. C., Aug. 28.—Miss Edith Martin, who was graduated from Howard University in the class of 1923, was drowned at Colton's, St. Mary's county, Md., early Sunday morning. Clinton L. Peterson, about 29 years old, was also drowned. While here, Miss Martin resided at 2407 M street, and Peterson lived at 2319 H street, N. W. Miss Martin taught school at Durham, N.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

ALL loyal Omahans are delighted to know that work has begun upon the Medical Arts building, the high steel skelton of which has stood for three years and a half, as a monument to the financial disaster of its public-spirited and well-intentioned promoters. There it has stood in the very heart of Omaha's business center as an ominous talisman of financial inability to complete a valuable business asset. That towering gaunt skelton did not improve a visitor's impression of a wide-awake and progressive city. That outside capital has decided to complete it shows confidence in Omaha's future. That is will repay its investors goes without saying. The resumption of work upon this modern sky-scraper, after so many years, points its moral for our own people who are so prone to lose heart and courage and give up trying when apparent failure faces their most business ventures. There is generally a way out, if we have the courage to keep on trying. Prophets of disaster declared that the Medical Arts building would never be completed. Never is a long time. Deeply interested in Omaha The Monitor joins with others in rejoicing over the fact that a way has been found to snatch victory from apparent defeat. SCHOOL DAYS NEXT week nearly 50,000 pupils will enter the schools and colleges of Omaha. Thinks of it. What a vast army this is. Nearly 4,000 or about one-twelfth of the vast army of knowledge seekers, belong to our group. Children from numerous nationalities meet in the same school room under the same teachers and study from the same books. They join in in the same games and plays. They are learning to know and understand each other. This is the kind of Americanization that will make America a real democracy in truth as well as in theory and will safeguard and insure the perpetuity of the nation. How short-sighted then are they who advocate the separation of school children along the line of race, religion or color. Such a policy makes for suspicion and misunderstanding, and undermines the foundation principles of the republic. We as taxpayers contribute our share and that willingly and gladly to the support of our schools. We are glad to have our children enjoy these privileges. We encourage them to take full advantages of these opportunities and they are doing so. There is one particular, however, in which we are not satisfied with the conduct of of schools and that is the exclusion of teachers of our race from the teaching corps of our city. This is not fair, nor just, nor will we be satisfied until this injustice ceases. Scores and scores of northern cities from Boston to Los Angeles, Cal., have competent colored teachers on their staff and there is no reason why Omaha should not again take her place among fair and broad-minded cities of this class. Be that as it may we congratulate the pupils who will resume their school duties next month. We urge all to do their level best to excel in scholarship and deportment and to take their full part and share in all school activities. School days are days of golden opportunity. PENNY WISE PEOPLE THE North Twenty-fourth street merchants are standing in their own light. They complain of lack of trade and say that the down-down stores draw a heavy trade which they should share. The downtown merchants pull together. They advertise and go after business. The North Side merchants do not advertise. They should form a pool, put on a big advertising campaign and go after business and improved lighting and they will get just what they go after. At present they are penny wise and pound foolish. ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION ASKS FOR MEMBERSHIP ON NATIONAL CRIME COMMISSION (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, Aug. 28—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has written to F. Trubee Davison, newly appointed head of the National Crime Commission offering its information and experience with lynching to the com- mission and suggesting that a representative of the N. A. A. C. P. be made a member of the National Crime Commission. The N. A. A. C. P. letter is as follows: On August 16, this association wired Judge Elbert H. Gary, calling to his at- PAGE TW tention, as the sponsor of the National Crime Commission, the lynching on August 7th of a colored man at Excelsior Springs, Missouri. In that telegram we pointed out that for fifteen years the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been fighting to check this form of anarchic lawlessness. In view of the fact that the states have shown themselves powerless to stamp out lynching, this association has persistently advocated the passage of a federal anti-lynching law. We expressed the hope that the commission would include lynching in the subjects for consideration. We had no direct reply to that communication, but in The New York Times of August 9th, Mr. Mark O. Prentiss is quoted as saying that the National Crime Commission had not then been fully organized and not until officers, are elected and committees appointed can it function in any specific case. Mr. Prentiss further stated that "I feel authorized to say this much in anticipation of any action, that unquestionably lynching will be considered by the commission together with other crimes in this country." As was stated in our telegram to Judge Gary, this association for fifteen years has made a determined campaign against lynching. I am sending you under separate cover a copy of our statistical study of lynching, which is the only study of its kind which has been made. This has been recognized as the authoritative record of lynchings in the United States. We have also carried on our campaign through public meetings, through the printing and distribution of millions of pamphlets, leaflets and other documents, through the investigation of more than forty lynchings by members of the association's staff and through the employment of private detective agencies, and in every legitimate and legal means of bringing to the attention of the American public the horrors of this crime, and the danger to a government which permits such crimes to go unpunished. There have been since 1892 a total of 3553 lynchings in the United States. Of this number 83 were women. Since 1919 37 human beings have been burned at the stake. Our study also has disproved the formerly strong belief that lynchings resulted only from attacks upon women. We have proved, taking the cause assigned by the mobs themselves, that less than seventeen per cent of the persons lynched in the United States since 1889 were even accused of crimes against women. In view of the very thorough study which we have given to this subject, we feel that we have information which will be of value to the National Crime Commission. We firmly believe that much of the laylessness in the United States today is due to the fact that members of the lynching mobs have found that they could flout the law without fear of punishment. For that reason we feel that the inquiry into the subject of lynching is of paramount importance. We, therefore, take the liberty of suggesting that in the selection of members of the National Crime Commission, considerable aid could be given through the appointment of a representative of this association as a member of that commission. You will note from our letterhead the names of persons connected with this association, not only as executive officers, but prominent citizens who serve as members of the board of directors and as vice-presidents. We will gladly co-operate with you in any ecort to end lawlessness, whether by individuals or by a mob. BALTIORMEANS MOB OWNER WHO RENTS HOME TO COLORED TENANT (Associated Negro Press) Baltimore, Md., Aug. 28.—Five hundred white residents, supposedly property owners, late Monday night mobbed Samuel Kraeger, owner of a piece of property on Lamont street, which piece of property he had leased to colored tenants. The tenants were attacked when they attempted to move into the house. Windows were smashed and furniture broken up, the entire neighborhood being thrown into an uprair. Police rescued Kraeger from the mob. The state court of appeals has declared that segregation zoning laws are unconstitutional, but white residents are determined yet to keep colored persons out of their neighborhoods, resorting to violence to do so. Whites are incensed because colored people have invaded their so-called "fine old residential sections," such as Madison avenue, Harlem Park and Lafayette Square.

SAY MEXICO REFUSES New York, Aug. 28.—According to dispatches in white newspapers the Mexican government will prohibit the entrance of colored workers into the country. Permission is said to have been denied sugar planters in Lower California to import colored labor, due, so the report runs, to the difficulties the Mexican government is already having with Chinese and Japanese immigrants. If placed end to end, the freight cars required each year to transport fruit and vegetables consumed in the New York district would make a train over 2,000 miles long.

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 Boia, "The Gift of Black Folk."
