COHEN COMP TROLLER CUSTOMS REMAINS Urges That Chambers of Commerce Get Acquainted With Negro LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy COHEN Urges Th COHEN INDICTMENT "RUM CONSPIRACY" CALLED A FRAME-UP Comptroller of Customs Claims That Charge Another Chapter in Lily White Plan to Have Him Removed SPEEDY TRIAL IS REQUESTED Treasury Department Sends Special Investigator But Declines to Suspend Cohen During Probe Washington, D. C.—The indictment of Walter L. Cohen, comproller of customs at New Orleans, La., is regarded here by Government officials as a frame-up. A special investigator of the Treasury Department is on his way to New Orleans to make a rigid examination of the facts and circumstances surrounding the indictment. This investigation was ordered by General Lincoln C. Andrews, assistant secretary of the Treasury, in charge of the customs service. Pending this investigation, Mr. Cohen will not be suspended from office, as the interests of the United States are in no way in jeopardy, General Andrews said. Mr. Cohen does not plan to come to Washington at this time, as it was at first reported. He wired the following statement: "My indictment was more of a surprise to me than to many of my friends. I knew nothing of it until called up on the telephone at my summer home at Bay St. Louis. "The whole matter is only another effort on the part of the lily-white crowd to discredit me and have me removed from office. "I have requested a speedy trial, and am asking the public to withhold judgment until after my trial, which I am sure will result in my acquittal as I am entirely innocent. I have also requested the Treasury Department to send one of its most trusted and impartial agents here to make a thorough investigation." Thirty-four persons were involved in the indictments charging conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act. Mr. Cohen is the only one among those indicted against whom no allegation is made of having received any money. He is involved by allegations that he was consulted by heads of the rum running conspiracy on the movements of customs craft; that he advised when and how it would be safe to transport liquor from Havana, Cuba, to New Orleans. The indictment charges that Cohen and the thirty-three others conspired to transport 4,250 cases of liquor from the Cuban capital to New Orleans, between June 1 and August 10. The progress of the alleged conspiracy is traced from early June, when the alleged head of a gigantic rum ring is said to have gone to Cuba to purchase a shipment of liquor. It is alleged that $10,000 was paid for protection to a prohibition agent with the understanding that it was to be turned to the Federal prohibition director for Louisiana. This money, officials claim, was collected by the agent who was operating under instructions to accept payments. It is being held as evidence. Walter I. Cohen was confirmed as comproller of customs at New Orleans on March 17, 1924, after the Senate had previously voted to reject his nomination. Mr. Cohen was first nominated by President Harding. The Senate adjourned without acting upon this nomination, and he was given a second recess appointment. President Coolidge returned his nomination to the Senate, and he was rejected upon the personal objections of Senators Broussard and Ramsdell, democrats of Louisiana. At the instance of the late Senator LaFollette, Senator Henrik Shipstead, farmer-labor of Minnesota, who had voted against confirmation, moved a reconsideration. Cohen was then confirmed by a vote of 39 to 38. Contrary to the general belief in Harlem, it was neither Robert S. Abbott, Edward H. Wright, nor Oscar De Priest, but an ominent Harvard scientist who recently expressed the opinion that in thirty years no one but the very rich and the very poor will be able to live in New York City.

Y., Sept. 11.—Miss Ruby Ann Pickens, the 14-year-old daughter of William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was first in the annual swimming meet held at Lake Tiorah, having in all her races finished well ahead of all other contestants and being the individual star of the meet. WHITE CITIZENS UNDER WRITE GIRLS' SEMINARY (Associated Negro Press.) Lynchburg, Virginia, Sept. 11.—At a conference in this city of the officials and leaders of Lynchburg and its Chamber of Commerce, Secretary L. Garland Penn, Cincinnati, Ohio, outlined the plans of the Women's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal church for the establishment of a seminary for colored women at some point in the South, preferably Lynchburg. As an inducement to locate the seminary here, the city council and Chamber of Commerce agreed to guarantee values at $25,000. Five years ago the society at its national council in Detroit, Mich., agreed upon Lynchburg. As the city and business interests are now ready to make good its guarantees, it is expected that the national council at its meeting in First Methodist Episcopal church, Passadena, Calif., in October, will re-affirm the action at Detroit. The seminary is to be a select college for Negro girls offering degrees and open to students from any section of the United States. Its main support will come from the Woman's Home Missionary Society which is the organization of leading white and colored women of the Methodist Episcopal church. This organization had an income last year of over two million dollars. The seminary is to be known as the Carrie Barge seminary after Miss Carrie Barge, a noted and consecrated white woman living in Delaware, Ohio. BAPTIST DELEGATES LEAVE FOR CONVENTION Sunday night clerical and lay delegates left to attend the National Baptist Convention which opened in Baltimore, Md., Wednesday morning.

McGee, pastor of Pleasant Green; the Rev. E. H. McDonald, assistant secretary of the National Convention; the Rev. J. S. Williams, pastor of Salem Baptist Church; H. J. Ford, state president of the B. Y. P. U., and Mrs. Senora M. Wilkinson, state president of the Women's Missionary Society. The Rev. Messrs. Botts and Williams were accompanied by their wives. America's fire loss in 1924 was approximately $48,000,000, or $1,044 a minute. NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1925 Methodist Weekly Sounds Warning of Klan as a Menace to Protestantism New York, Sept. 4.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received the American City Magazine for August, in which Leo M. Favrot, of Louisiana, field agent of the General Educational Board, asserts there is hardly any contact between white and colored citizens in southern cities and urges that white chambers of commerce arrange to meet and discuss community problems with colored citizens. "The South has only recently begun to realize," writes Mr. Favrot, "that it can never attain its highest development while the interests and welfare of 40 per cent of its population are neglected. We southern members of the white race too frequently think of our community life in terms of In its leading editorial of August 27 the Southwestern Christian Advocate, published by the Methodist Book Concern, condemns the recent parade of the Ku Klux Klan in the national capitol, and utters a warning that the Klan is a dangerous menace to protestant Christianity. The Southwestern Christian Advocate had previously published two articles defending the Klan and it is upon these articles that the editorial comments. Of the parade in Washington, the editorial says: "It was an ignogant and defiant flaunting of the red shirt of religious and racial narrowness into the faces of the other scores of millions of law abiding citizens and protestant Christians who refuse to be carried off into bigoted pagan vagaries and excesses of religious Pharisaism and racial discrimination at the Klan's behest. However much it may voluntarily assume, it has no legal or allowed status or recognized role as mentor or guardian of the EDUCATORS ATTEND CHICAGO UNIVERSITY (Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Sept. 11.—Among the educators and social workers pursuing the course of Sociology during the summer session of the University of Chicago were Jesse O. Thomas, field secretary of the National Urban League, Charles S. Johnson, editor of Opportunity, and Monroe N. Work, editor of The Negro Year Book and director of the Department of Records and Research, Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Work were among the speakers at a dinner of the Research association held in the south parlor of the Auditorium hotel. WASHINGTON SOPRANO TO SING OPERA Washington, D. C.—Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs has been engaged to sing in opera at Nice and at Monte Carlo under the name Madame Evanti next winter. She will be one of the first colored Americans to engage in prand opera, having trained for the past two years in Paris under Champi. She is the wife of Wilfred Roy Tibbs, leader of the Howard University Glee Club and other musical organizations and the daughter of the late W. Bruce Evans for many years principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School. She has been heard frequently in this city over the radio. NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ORGANIZER URGES CONSERVATION Chicago, Ill., Sept. 11.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Dr. I. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the secretaries of the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, organized the National Medical Association in the First Congregational Church, Atlanta, Ga., when he was National Commissioner of Negro Exhibits at the Cotton States and International Exposition, now thirty years ago. He returned to visit the Association in its Chicago meeting, and was introduced by President Dumas as the "Father of the Association". In his address he congratulated the association upon its wonderful growth and said that in his judgment it was the most representative educational body of the Negro race. He stressed the importance of conservation in the forward progress of the Negro saying that "the promoter is a valuable man but recent experiences, must reach the Negro, that conservers of progress were equally valuable, if we are to hold our ground and make further advance." the white population alone. It is strange that we should forget the old adage that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and that link in the average southern community is likely to be the Negro population or the community influences derived from it. "There is little opportunity in the South for the leaders of the colored race to come in contact with the leaders of the white race. Southern white people do not come in frequent contact with Negro physicians, dentists, merchants, bankers, educators or ministers, although the number of trained and educated Negroes in southern communities is increasing every day. We come to think of the Negro then entirely in terms of the great masses on the lowest rung rights or religion of American citizens We have a government of the people, competent for these things. The Klan proposes either to usurp the functions of our government or to supplement them; if the former is their object, they should be stopped by the government; the latter purpose is an indirect indictment of the government as inefficient, and is equally blameable and unAmerican. "If Klanism is synonymous with protestantism, and this protestantism is the vehicle of Christianity, in such a combination is the death warrant of protestant Christianity. A Christianity that, under dominance of the spirit of rampant racialism such as the Klan espouses, arrays groups within itself against each other; and that not only opposes race against race, but sanctions race subordination and subservency, thereby repudiates itself at the bar of public opinion. It thereby disqualifies itself to become a universal re PASTOR OF ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH CLOSES FIRST YEAR The Rev. Charles A. Williams will close Sunday his first conference year as pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church, Twenty-second and Willis avenue. At the morning service he will preach his sermon and at night will present the financial report for the year. He will leave Tuesday for Leavenworth, Kans., to attend the annual conference. The Rev. Charles A. Williams succeeded his brother, the Rev. W. C. Williams, at St. John's last year, com- P. H. ing here from St. Louis, Mo., where he had served as pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. Church for six years. Prior to that time he had filled other important pastorates in the Kansas, Colorado and Missouri conferences. His first year's pastorate at St. John's has been most acceptable and his return here is confidently expected. While devoting himself to the upbuilding of St. John's the Rev. Mr. Williams has been always ready to cheerfully cooperate in any movement of the community for civic and racial uplift. Mrs. Lottie Roach, formerly a resident of Omaha now residing in Los Angeles, Calif., arrived Sunday and left Wednesday for a visit in St. Louis, Mo. On her return she will tarry here for a visit with friends. of the ladder and seldom of that intelligent and capable minority which furnishes the guidance and leadership of the masses. "In my experience of thirteen years as a worker among Negroes, I find a distinct desire on the part of many of the their leaders to discuss with white men plans for racial betterment. They feel that their sphere of opportunity as leaders is limited by the fact that they do not have ample opportunity to get before the proper authorities many of the problems that beset the Negroes who live in cities and towns." Mr. Favrot reports that he questioned 167 secretaries of chambers of commerce and that 78 per cent of them had no provision for consulting or meeting with colored citizens. **warning to Protestantism** ligion, and loses its sanction and status as a divine revelation. In its basic philosophy, Christianity is non-racial. It must remain so or be outstanced and supplanted by some other one of the world's living religions. "We do now and will forever repudiate on ethical, historical, religious and racial grounds that Klan-ridden protestantism being fostered by such fanaticism as was exhibited in the Washington demonstration already alluded to. It was in no sense an official protestant demonstration. It had not the official sanction of any protestant Christian denomination. It is gratifying food for mental reflection that the President of the nation was not bambooiled into honoring it by his presence. As faulty as is the American church, it stands to her eternal credit that no branch of the church gave even tacit approval to that large-scale expression of racial and religious animosities." NEGRO IS JUST HALF THE EQUAL OF WHITE MAN (Associated Negro Press.) New Orleans, La., Sept. 11. It has been learned that the Mississippi Power Company, domiciled at Guffport, Miss., with 1,000 employees, had taken a blanket insurance coverage of $500 for white and $250 for colored laborers. These amounts will be increased for each year of continuous service up to ten years to the maximum of $2500 for white and $1000 for colored. Of course, these Southern gentlemen do not draw the color line or discriminate against the Negro. SECRETARY KELLOGG IIS LUNCHEON HOST Washington, D.

C., Sept. 11.—The Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaria held its Sixth International Biennial Session and its 78th Annual Session at Odd Fellows' Hall, 16th and M streets, N. W., Washington, D. C., August 25-28, inclusive. Delegates were in attendance from twenty states, besides which there were representatives from Panama, Colon, Jamaica, Cuba, Porto Rico, Costa Rica, and the Turkish Islands. (Associated Negro Press.) Richmond, Va., Sept. 11.—One of the outstanding features of the recent meeting of the Elks held in this city, was the establishment of a national scholarship fund amounting to about $20,000 to aid deserving young men and women of the race in securing an education. The scholarship fund was suggested by Judge W. C. Hueston, Gary, Ind., and was received with much enthusiasm as was indicted by its almost unanimous passage. Whole Number 530 MASONIC GRAND MASTER KILLED (Associated Negro Press.) Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 11—William G. Butler, one of the best known men in this section, was killed in an automobile accident on the Lincoln Highway two miles east of Coatesville late Friday night. He died of a fractured skull and internal injuries. Mr. Butler was elected Grand Master of the Pennsylvania Masons last December and for many years had been an active and prominent figure in this order. He was a member of the Knights Templar, a patron of the Eastern Star and was connected with other branches of the Masonic fraternity. Funeral services which were largely attended were impressive. He was the accounting warden of St. Cyril Protestant Episcopal church, serving in this capacity for eight years, from which church his funeral services were held. His body lay in state at the Masonic Temple where it was reviewed by hundreds of persons. The impressive and solemn Episcopal funeral rites were held. Archdeacon Henry L. Phillips officiated. Music was rendered by the Rev. Mr. Young and C. Holloway. Miss Margaret Jackson, a soprano of prominence rendered "Deep River." The interment was at Bennett Square, where full Masonic services were held by Acting Grand Master James R. Williams. Mr. Butler is survived by one daughter, Mrs. John T. Cuff, of Haytie, a brother, Theodore, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Hackett, both of Kent county, Md., and several nieces and nephews. His wife died several years ago, since which time he had made his home with his daughter and son-in-law. ARREST SIX WHITES FOR MURDER ARREST SIX WHITES FOR MURDER New Orleans, La., Sept. 11.—Six white men are in jail at Point-a-la-Hache, a short distance from here charged with the murder of Filix Narcisse, a Negro, in the swamps of Plaquimine several days ago. Narcisse was struck on the head, his throat cut and also stabbed in the stomach. No reason can be assigned for the crime unless it was the victim's color. COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUB OF OMAHA The Colored Commercial Club of Omaha is publishing below the copy of a letter which has been sent to the colored ministers of Omaha urging their co-operation in securing the patronage of colored people for the Negro business throughout the city. Many of the ministers, receiving this letter, commented upon it to their congregation and have pledged their cooperation in securing patronage of colored people for colored enterprises. It is our earnest hope that the campaign will be kept up with intelligence and vigor and that lasting results along this line will be obtained. Dear Pastor: The Colored Commercial Club of Omaha is beginning a Campaign of Publicity for the purpose of helping the colored professional and business men and women of Omaha, Nebraska, among our group. We are, therefore, calling your attention to the fact that we have in this city a colored population of about seventeen thousand persons. Among them there are being conducted thirty-five separate lines of business. We have physicians, attorneys, dentists, undertakers, clothing stores, grocery stores, restaurants, shoe repairers, barber shops, taxi companies, express companies, storage companies, drug stores, hair dressing parlors, tailoring establishments, cleaning and dyeing establishments, employment agencies, caterers, cigar stores, shining parlors, real estate dealers, insurance agencies, contractors, paint and paper shops, newspapers and a few minor businesses. We spend for the necessities of life, an average of $1.00 per person per day or $17,000.00 per day. That represents the expenditure of $150,000.00 per month, and $6,120,000.00 per year. This sum is what we spend for food, clothing and shelter of the group. Nearly all of the businesses among the colored people are struggling for existence. It lies within your providence and power, merely by speaking of the businesses to your members to make all of them a success. May we not rely upon you to tell your members to buy some of the things they need from colored people who have such things to sell, whether those things be wearing apparel, medicine, or services of doctors, lawyers or other kinds of service and goods? Will you not begin to do this on the first Sunday in September and continue to do it regularly? If you do this, you will help your church, the colored people, and the community at large. We shall be pleased to note that you are helping in this practical way, Respectfully yours, PUBLICITY COMMITTEE, Colored Commercial Club of Omaha GROWING :: :: :: :: THANK YOU 0 Vol. XI—No. 10 MAINS th Negro SIXTEEN HUNDRED NEGRO GRADUATES IN PHARMACY, CLAIM Interesting Article Recently Published in The American Druggist Gives Many Important and Valuable Facts AUTHOR IS PRIZE WINNER Part Taken By Race in Development and Progress of Pharmaceutical Profession Worthy of Record (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Sept. 11.—The American Druggist, a monthly magazine for pharmacists and drug merchants, published in New York City, issue of August, 1925, contains an article covering five pages being "A History of the Negro in Pharmacy", by Miss Mozella E. Lewis, who graduated from the College of Pharmacy, Howard university, with the class of 1925. Along with the article itself is a picture of Miss Lewis and the following statement: "This history of the Negro pharmacist in America is a thesis written by Miss Mozella Esther Lewis, winner of the Lehn & Fink medal in pharmacy this year at the College of Pharmacy of Howard university, Washington, D. C. As is well known, Lehn & Fink, New York, award a gold medal each year in some forty colleges of pharmacy all over the United States. Each medal goes to the student showing the greatest proficiency in pharmacy or who submits the best thesis, though this is not a requirement for the award, which is made entirely on the recommendation of the faculty. In this case, the medal was awarded by a committee of the faculty on the basis of "Originality in thesis, amount of work invested and conscientious effort." This article is largely statistical, but it is not abridged, as it is believed it will prove of value as a record to any compiler of American pharmaceutical history. The description of the part that the Negro has taken in the development and progress of the profession is well worthy of note and recording for permanent preservation and reference." As stated by the publisher, the article is largely statistical, but it is probably the most complete story so far written of the Negro in pharmacy, with an extensive bibliographical reference. An important statement contained in Miss Lewis' article is: "We have had approximately one hundred Negro pharmacists graduated from white colleges and approximately one thousand five hundred from Negro colleges. Of this number about twenty per cent have taken medicine and are at present successful physicians and surgeons. About ten per cent have taken dentistry, and twenty per cent have pursued other lines of study, such as teaching, law, theology. The other fifty per cent have found wonderful fields in pharmacy. These statistics give us an idea of what the Negro has done in pharmacy, and should encourage the young men and women of that race interested in this work to improve the many branches of this science in which the Negro has become famous and further develop those phases in which he seemingly has not entered to any great extent, so that the Negro will be an outstanding light in the development of pharmaceutical science." RELEASE PRISONER AS . AFTERMATH OF LYNCHING Stillwater, Minn., Sept. 11.—Max Mason. one of the nine Negroes charged with raping a white girl, on the circus grounds at Duluth, Minn., June 15, 1920, and the only one to be convicted upon trial after three of them had been lynched, was released from Stillwater prison upon conditional discharge Monday. One of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Minnesota in a dissenting opinion said: "In my view the evidence does not sustain the conviction." It is the general opinion that Mason was not guilty. Mason spent some time with Attorney W. T. Francis, in St. Paul, who has been working to secure his release for the past two years. SOUTH AMERICAN PAPER PRAISES N. CLARK SMITH (Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Ill., Sept. 11.—Press dispatches from the Independent, published in Honduras, South America, have been received praising the work of Professor 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. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the choicest heritages of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion.—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Folk." PAGE TW LET US HAVE LETTERS WE FREQUENTLY receive telephone calls thanking us for our editorial position on various subjects. This is highly appreciated, but we wish our readers who approve or disapprove of our editorial utterances or position would use our department of "Letters From Our Readers" to say so. This department of our paper could be made as interesting and instructive as the "Public Pulse" section of the World-Herald. Communications of this character would show that our opinion or attitude is endorsed or unendorsed, all of which has its value in creating public sentiment. For example, several persons complimented us upon and thanked us for our recent editorial captioned "Pointing the Way". Now, if these persons had taken time to write us for publication a brief letter voicing their approval, it would have shown that we were voicing not simply our own sentiments on a very important civic matter but that of our readers. Do you not see the point? We hope our readers will get into the habit of using our "Letters From Our Readers" section. SEEKING HIGHER EDUCATION WE ARE GLAD to note that increasing numbers of our youth are going to college every year. It was not so long ago that it was an exceedingly rare thing for children of our group in this city to look forward to college and university training. There was a reason for this. Parents who had to make sacrifices for their children's primary and secondary education, seeing the limited opportunities offered them, felt little inclined to encourage them to go further. Moreover the youths themselves saw little to inspire them to continue their studies. They had not learned that it is wise to fully prepare oneself for opportunities that may come or may be made, rather than to let those opportunities come and find us unprepared. There has, however, come in the last few years a new orientation or viewpoint concerning higher education for our people. There is a thirst for higher knowledge with the desire for service. And so, like Lincoln, our ambitious boys and girls have decided that they will prepare themselves for certain callings that when their chance comes they will be ready. The increasing number therefore of our youth who are striving for higher education with high ideals of usefulness and service is a most gratifying sign of progress. NOT HIS BUSINESS AS ONE of the ministers of the city we were asked to sign a petition to the Governor of the State requesting him to look into the violation of anti-gambling laws in Omaha, especially with reference to "Policy". We declined to do so, for the reason that we believe that the enforcement of law in Omaha rests not with the Governor of the State but with the city authorities. The city authorities should see to it that all laws are obeyed and if they do not do so and violate their oath of office then the citizens who are in earnest, and not bluffing or playing to the gallery, about the enforcement of law should have the courage to start impeachment proceedings. The Monitor stands squarely for the enforcement of law and does not believe in passing the buck. The city authorities can suppress gambling—if they want to, and if the people, including some distinguished gentlemen high up in business and commercial circles, want it suppressed. Put the gaff where it belongs. Law enforcement in Omaha is not Governor McMullen's business. WILL FIND BETTER BUSINESS SOME PERSONS who have earned a livelihood by working for the "Policy Ring" have been thrown out of employment by the shutting down of employment. Some of the men, exe- ture the game. They will be able eventually to find better and more honorable cellent fellows, too, are too good to be in that kind of business and ought to be profoundly thankful for being forced out of it and glad to be kept out of it. IS THIS FAIR? THT OMAHA Board of Education has upwards of 2,500 employees. In this vast army the Negro citizens who represent one-twelfth of the population and pay their proportionate share of the taxes have not a single employee. Is there anything just or fair about this? What are we going to do about it? PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS STOP! Don't try it! It will be too much of a mental tax to undertake to count the number of people of our race who are employed by the public service corporations like the Nebraska Power Company, the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, or even our city owned public utilities like the Gas Plant and Water Plant. Whose fault is it? Think it over! WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY SCHOOL DAYS The great American free school system of education is still the largest contributor to the advance of civilization. Many years ago in the East, we had the little red school house. South of the Mason-Dixon Line, our foreparents learned the three Rs in a rough-hewn building built of logs. Today, we have a continuous stream of buildings that house our young Americans who are seeking the fundamentals necessary to equip them with their battles in life. Next week, in the city of Los Angeles, over 300,000 students of varying ages will register their declarations to grow enlightened with the age. The children of black Americans will file into these institutions of learning and take their seats side by side with the various nationalities that go to make up this great nation. Many will have come recently from the Southland, where jim-crowism, discrimination and segregation are rife. But here in this great metropolis of the Golden West, they will get their first glimpse of the sunshine of the Constitution which guarantees to every man, regardless of race, creed or color, an equal opportunity. Here, also, they will find the spirit of true democracy which is theirs to accept, practice and fight to maintain, thereby proving the necessity of its continuance, for, if all people are to live in this great country together, they must study together, learn together, grow up together and work together for the salvation of the ideals of Americanism for which the American tree school is provided as an incubator for the hatching.-The Pacific Defender. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY (This column is conducted by George Wells Parker, author of "The Children of the Sun" and founder of the Hamitic League. He will be glad to answer in this column all questions of a reasonable length. Where space will not permit, he will answer correspondents who inclose postage for a reply. Questions for him should be addressed to George Wells Parker, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Ill.) Were the Pyramids built for tombs or astronomical observatories?—C. L. K. Dennison, Texas. The Pyramids were built as tombs for the dead. That they have certain astronomical aspects is true, but these appear to have been secondary to the main purpose which was that they were built as tombs for the dead. What building secrets did the Egyptians have which we do not possess.—F. D. G. Springfield, Ohio. Many. Their cement, colors, rock drilling, lifting enormous weights, are but a few secrets which we no longer possess. Was Zeus an African God?—G. C. V. Boston, Mass. Zeus was originally Cretan. The Cretans were descendants of African colonists and it is supposed that Zeus was an African deity inasmuch as he was believed to have once dwelt in the holy land of Ethiopia. How was the Moorish civilization destroyed?—M. M. L., Canton, Ohio. The Moorish civilization was destroyed as a result of the religious wars waged by the Christians and the Mohammedans. Who was Jethro?—D. K. T., Fulton, Ky. Jethro was a priest of Midian and father-in-law of Moses. He was of African descent. What was the greatest city of ancient Ethiopia?—G. H. Kansas City, Mo. The city of Meroe, often called the Kingdom of Meroe, inasmuch as it was situated on an island just north of Egypt. Late archeologists have claimed the original Ethiopia stretched clear across the northern littoral of Africa, including even the Gold Coast. If this is true, then Ethiopia was indeed very extensive. Is it true that some Negroes have been admitted to the K. K. K.?—D. N. F., Los Angeles, Cal. Hardly. The very purpose of the Klan excludes them. If there are any Negroes in it, it is that they are passing as Nordic. BE BEAUTIFUL (This column is conducted by Madame Katherine Wilson, author of The Successful Hairdresser and founder of the famous California Sun Parlor and School of Beauty Culture in Omaha, Neb. She will be glad to answer in this column all questions of a reasonable length. Where space will not permit, she will answer correspondents who inclose postage for a return reply. Questions for her should be addressed to Mme. Katherine Wilson, Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Ill.) Mrs. G. C. H.-My dear lady, don't you know that pure white hair is all the style. Nothing is more beautiful than a head of prematurely gray hair, especially when the possessor has a youthful face and figure. Although I have always had great success with hair dyeing, I always advise the customer against the practice, but there are always people who will try anything once. Since your hair has been ruined, why not cut it as close to your head as is safe and wear a white transformation until it grows out again. In a few months it will be grown out and be a solid color, and then your hair will not contain all the colors of the rainbow. Helen—Plucking the eyebrows is a painful process. Why not shave them if they must be shaped. However, a little witch-hazel applied with a conno tad just before plucking may soothe the tender skin around the eyebrows. Miss Jaqueline—There seems to be quite a divided opinion among the authorities as to whether or not we should wash our faces with soap or use cold cream to cleanse our faces. Personally, I think the constant use of cold cream alone clogs the pores. Each night, before retiring, I would wash my face in fairly hot water, using a pure castle soap. A fine camel's hair brush or a coarse wash cloth should be used vigorously, especially in Chicago, where dust and grime gather quickly. Never use a sponge. Sponges are unclean and they invite infection. Cleanliness is the greatest asset to good health. Of course, the face should be rinsed in several waters until no soap remains. After that, if the skin is inclined to be dry, a little cold cream can be applied with good results. "It is generally the man who doesn't know any better who does the thing that can't be done. You see the blamed fool doesn't know that it can't be done so he goes ahead and does it." THE MONITOR LINCOLN NEWS Mrs. Flo.

WASHINGTON—With the arrival of Edwin Barley on the steamer Paris, in New York, speculation is rife in official circles in Washington as to the purpose of Dr. Barley's visit in his official capacity as Liberian Secretary of State. After being accorded diplomatic courtesies by the representatives of American State Department, the Honorable Mr. Barley was also welcomed by Dr. Lyons of Baltimore, who is the Liberian consul general in the United States. There has been some trouble between the French authorities and the natives in the Zinta section on the frontier and Secretary Barclay has just come from Paris, France. It will be remembered that the American Congress some time ago turned down a five million dollar loan for Liberia after it had been approved by the executive department of the U. S. government. It is understood that some of the mammoth rubber companies of America are planning a deal with the Liberian government in exchange for much-needed rights and privileges in order that America may break the British corner of the raw rubber supply. The arrival of official representatives of the Liberian Republic always revives interest in the relations of the African Homeland to the tremendous Race population here in the U. S. It will be remembered that a representative of the Homeland lately spoke strongly against Garvey's idea. Opposes Garvey Idea During Secretary Barley's visit Inter-Racial News Service correspondents have been instructed by Ramsay Ray, general manager, to interview Race notables in various sections in regard to the actual status of our Group in each portion of the United States. In a conversation, Madame Mamie Hightower, the famous Beauty Culturist and originator of the Golden Brown Preparations, had this to say: "I am very happy of course to welcome Secretary Barley both because of his distinguished position in a friendly government and because of his noble ancestry. I have not forgotten that another Barley served as President of our African Homeland in the early years of the present century and that the Barley family has furnished a Secretary of State at another period besides at the present." "Like the Philippines, for mutually good reasons Liberia should remain the good and true friend of America at all times. Trade Commerce, Finance, all these things alone will dictate such a course, even if it were not* an imperative obligation based on the past history of Liberia and its settlement by the American Colonization. Society, just a little over 100 years ago." "I think that the relations of the people of our Race to both the government and natives of Liberia must be one of helpfulness, friendliness and cordial co-operation. By careful study and by constant development it should be possible in time to develop the vast, the almost unknown interior of the Hgmeland to a land of health and prosperity. Like the Alaska of 'fifty years ago, Liberia means to most of us a sort of a dreamland, a wilderness rather than a gripping, actual, living reality with magnificent potentialities. But when one looks back through development of our Race, particularly here in the South the last quarter of a century, it is impossible and almost foolhardy to suggest leaving this land of wealth and health for the uncertainty of the primitive." New Schools in South "I know it is unpopular to take this view, but when I look back at the five reasons in the preamble to Liberia's Declaration of Independence I find five major reasons at that time (1847) for further immigration from the U. S. to Africa: Exclusive from civil offices; exception from participation in Government taxation without consideration; discriminations without avenues of improvements; contribution without protection." "Now, seventy-five years, after PAGE THREE P. EDWIN BARCLAY. our Race in the South and in the United States with its schools, its colleges, its certain civil officials, its freedom and its power at the polls, looks about with pride at a country which has done so much to minimize oppression and ignorance. Granted there are certain prejudices still existing against our color yet, we are not alone, and peoples of other creeds and colors, make the same complaint." "Through Presidents like Lincoln and Roosevelt, through the work of our own great leaders like Washington, Montana and Race in North America has gradually come to stand on the higher grounds of citizenship and intellectuality." "In the South we find new schools and colleges springing up to meet the demand for more education and better education for our Race. Here in Memphis, for instance, we are just completing a monster, modern, completely equipped high school, a model of secondary education under the personal direction of Prof. Hamilton, a scholar and musician, of far more than local reputation. In Memphis, for instance, long before the art of instrumental music was developed along band lines in our white schools, Prof. Hamilton had organized a splendid boys' brass band at Kortect High." Racial Advancement "I think that we should encourage and always continue to encourage Liberia as a home for the depressed and destitute, but I feel very strongly that with the constant advancement of the Race in the U. S. that there is but one way to greater happiness and improvement to almost ideal living conditions. That is by sending more of our boys and girls to our splendid public and private schools, urging a more general study of the racial problems by leading citizens of both colors, by showing our appreciation of the splendid assistance that is being rendered us by sure leaders of Thomas F. Cailor, executive head of the Episcopal Church in North America, Julian Rosenwald of Chicago and other white leaders by determining to be better citizens and improve our standards of living. The surest way to still greater toleration is to prove ourselves worthy of the Republic." Madame Hightower is known in almost all civilized countries of the world for her work as a Beauty Specialist and friend of our girls and women. She has launched the great National Golden Brown Beauty Contest which is sweeping the entire U.S. At the close of the greatest Sept. 14, she loved the Race girl in North America, chosen by votes will receive a gorgeous Hudson Super-Six automobile, a free trip to Atlantic City, a $100.00 Trouseau and the queenly crown of beauty. There are from 50 to 100 free votes with every one of my Golden Brown Preparations which are on sale by all druggists and agents of Madame Hightower in every nook and cranny of the nation, upon upon upon of votes are purging the office of Golden Brown Chemical Company at Memphis, Tenn., cast by the contestants and friends.
