Williams Has Unique Distinction of Being First Woman of Color to Fill Such a Position SHE WILL SERVE UNTIL APRIL Johnson's Death Has Created Very Complicated Situation in Republicans Affairs in State Atlanta, Ga.—For the first time in history of American politics a race woman has gained the distinction of membership on the Republican National Committee. The lady to be thus distinguished as the first race women to hold this position is Mrs. Georgia S. Williams, of Savannah Ga., who succeeds, temporarily to the seat made vacant by the death of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson. Mrs. Williams will hold the post until the State Republican Executive Committee names Johnson's successor, who will serve until the State Republican convention next April. It is said that Johnson's death has created a complicated situation in Republican affairs in Georgia. The party is said to be badly split into factions whose alignments are constantly changing and a heated scramble is said to be in prospect for the seat made vacant by Johnson's death. ELEVEN NEGROES CHARGED WITH MURDER IN RACE RIOT IN DETROIT New York—Special dispatch to the National Office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, from its assistant secretary, Walter White, on the scene of the recent race riot in Detroit, states that Dr. O. H. Sweet and ten other Negroes, who defended Dr. Sweet's home from the attack of a mob on Wednesday, Sept. 9, have been held for trial charged with first degree murder. Mr. White's telegram to the national office of the N. A. A. C. P. reads: "All eleven defendants held without bail for trial on charge of first degree murder. Judge Faust to hear any argument counsel may choose to present for bail in individual cases Tuesday." Defense of the imprisoned colored people, Dr. Sweet and his wife and two brothers, and seven others, has been taken over by the Detroit branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which raised $700 at a mass meeting, to which is added $400 raised by colored doctors and which will be augmented by additional sums as they are given. The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. will contribute financially to the defense. The N. A. A. C. P. assistant secretary has been in conference with Judge Ira W. Jayne, of the Wayne County Circuit Court, who is a member of the N. A. A. C. P. board of directors; with the N. A. A. C. P. branch in Detroit and with local white and colored lawyers as well as with the chairman of the Inter-racial committee, appointed by Mayor John Y. Smith of Detroit. In connection with the disorders, Mr. White reports the following facts: 1. Mayor Smith charges the disorders were due directly to instigation by the Ku Klux Klan. 2. The Detroit police, said to be honeycombed with Klansmen, are charged with illegally shooting at least 55 citizens of Detroit between January 1 and September 1, 1925. 3. Dr. O. H. Sweet, 31 years old, graduate of Wilberforce and Howard Universities, and well-known practising physician, bought a house last spring at 2905 Garland avenue, in a middle-class white neighborhood, with several colored residents in nearby streets. 4. Detroit's colored population having increased in late years from 8,000 to 65,000 colored people have been overflowing the original colored neighborhoods. On June 22, the house of a colored physician, Dr. A. L. Turner, was invaded by a mob, which loaded his furniture on vans and returned it to his old home. 5. Dr. Sweet moved into his house on Tuesday, Sept. 8, having returned a few weeks ago from Vienna where he has been studying. Dr. Sweet reports there was jeering because he had police protection that day. The following day, a crowd congregated until there were by Dr. Sweet's estimate 1200 people. Stone throwing began at 7 p. m. Windows being broken and threats being shouted. The crowd increased to 2,000. Mr. Davis went out with Dr. O. O. Sweet, dentist, and brother to Dr. O. H. Sweet. They were stoned and the yard and porch were covered with bricks and stones. At 8:30 shots were fired, killing one mem THE MONITOR WALTER COHEN IS EXONERATED BY GOVERNMENT Charges Against Comptroller of Customs, Port of New Orleans, Louisiana, Held to Be Conspiracy Washington, D. C.—The case involving the alleged conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws in which Whiter Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, was reported to have taken part, has been dropped insofar as Mr. Cohen is concerned therein. The report covering the findings of agents of the special agency service of customs, ordered to make the investigation has reported to the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury that Mr. Cohen's connection with the alleged conspiracy is supported by circumstantial evidence only. This virtually clears him of the charges. Advised by Physicians to Go to Colorado or Arizona to Check Incipient Stage of Tuberculosis. Ledrue C. Galloway, son of C. C. Gallo way, the popular athletic who made such a brilliant record at Central high school and on the eleven at Iowa State University, is off the gridiron forever, according to physicians, who have discovered that he is a victim of tuberculosis, which fortunately is only in the incipient stage and therefore can be checked. But Ledrue must go to Colorado or Arizona. He is in Omaha now but will leave soon for the west. His retirement from the Iowa State squad has weakened that team and Coach Igwerson is trying hard to develop some one to take his place. During his four years at Central Ledrue was the outstanding athletic star of the school and was idolized not only for his athletic prowess but equally for his gentlemanliness. He was chosen each year by almost unanimous decision of coaches and critics for a place on the All State eleven. When he entered Iowa State he made a record his first year on the second eleven in playing against the regular varsity team and in his sophomore year won a place on the Varsity eleven in which he won distinction by his brilliant playing. It is the ardent hope and earnest prayer of Galloway's friends and admirers everywhere that he may be speedily restored to vigorous health. FORMER OMAHAN REPORTED FATALLY ILL IN WASHINGTON Henry R. Roberts, a former well known railroad man of Omaha, is reported to be seriously ill in a hospital at Centralia, Wash. His wife, who left Omaha a few months ago, is with him. No hopes are held out for Mr. Roberts' recovery and the end may be expected any time.

NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1925 National Advancement Association Sees Segregation as Biggest Issue for Negro AND INSTRUCTIVE The Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met at St. Paul Presbyterian church last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. An interesting debate instructed and pleased those who were present. Dr. H. Wiggins, who was to have opened for the affirmative, was unavoidably detained by professional duties. Attorney W. B. Bryant substituted for H. J. Pinkett and opened for the affirmative and Henry W. Black supported the negative. As there was only one of the principals for the affirmative present, it was agreed between the two principals for the negative, the Rev. Russel Taylor and Mr. Black, that the latter alone should support the negative. The subject was, "Resolved, That the Professional Men New York City.—Segregation constitutes one of the gravest dangers confronting the Negro in America today, and the menace of it is spreading throughout the North, according to a warning statement issued by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who calls upon all, colored citizens to aid the N. A. A. C. P. in the fight it is making in behalf of the race. "Colored people of America are not awake to the danger which threatens them," says Mr. Johnson's statement. "So long as the mob is not at their door ordering them to move into another neighborhood, threatening them with death, if they do not give up their home and sell their house, they seem to think the danger a distant one. But the menace of segregation, whether by ordinance, by agreement among white property owners, or by the anarchy of direct mob action, is one that increasingly looms over every Negro home in America. "Already the N. A. A. C. P. has segregation cases on its hands originating in all parts of the country. The fight against segregation by property owners' agreement in the national capitol will probably be heard before the United States Supreme Court this fall and similar cases in many states are awaiting its outcome. In Louisiana MAKES ANNUAL REPORT Report of Labor Bureau As commissioner of the Colored Commercial Club of Omaha, and the active worker, it is with pleasure that I shall endeavor to touch the high spots of the activities of the club during 1924, to state some of the problems faced, their solution, and to outline the situation we faced in 1925, already begun. Since its establishment in 1919, the Colored Commercial Club has conducted a constructive program of activities for the improvement of welfare work among Negroes, as well as foster a better understanding between the colored and white business houses. These two activities have been crowned with much success. Such success has been obtained because of the willingness of the citizens to co-operate with the club in every way possible. The outstanding features of 1924 were the placements made through the Employment Department to the number of 1,835 since January, 1924; the organizing of a Junior Club consisting of a membership of fifty-five young business men; the co-operating with other organizations throughout the city in the development of welfare work among our people; the cooperating with the American Legion, Theodore Roosevelt Post No. 30, in putting on a street carnival; the compiling and publishing each week, bits of Negro history; the laying of the foundation for the organizing of an inter-racial commission in Omaha; the compiling of data on Negro business and publishing a 1925 business guide, a copy of which has been placed in practically every colored home. This business guide will be gotten out each year. The Employment Department The problems facing the Employment Department have been many and varied. However, the work of this department has been very successful when you consider the general economic conditions of the city with reference to the employment of colored help. Out of a total number of 1,978 calls, placements were made to the extent of 1,835, while this number is considerably lower than in 1923, namely, 2,109, it will be remembered that industrial conditions were much better and more favorable to the employment of colored people, and too, the economic conditions were much better in 1923 than in 1924. As compared with 1923 however, the monthly of Omaha Are Living Up to Their Civic and Racial Responsibilities." Mr. Bryant argued that corrupt civic conditions were being opposed by the Christian lawyers, while ministers could be charged with indifference and that therefore certain professional men were meeting their civic and racial responsibilities. Mr. Black pointed out specific cases to prove that few of the professional people take any part in civic and racial matters and in consequence our people are not receiving the representation due in public offices or making the progress in the development of business enterprises that is possible. Several others took part in the discussion. The next meeting of the branch will be the first Sunday in October at the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. Race Everywhere Urged to Rally to Support of Organization Which Is Sanely But UNCOMPROMISINGLY Fighting Against Menace Looming Large Over Every Colored American Home the N. A. A. C. P. is fighting state and municipal segregation ordinances passed in defiance of the Supreme Courts' decision in the Louisville case of 1947. In State Land, N. Y., the N. A. A. C. P. is backing up Samuel A. Browne, the colored postman who stood his ground against the mob. In Detroit the N. A. A. C. P. will throw its entire power to the defense of Dr. O. H. Sweet, his wife, two brothers and six friends, who, surrounded by a howling mound, defended Dr. Sweet's home and are now facing trial on charges of murder. "There is not a colored man, woman or child in America, no matter in what city or town, whose status will not be affected by these segregation struggles. The N. A. A. C. P. intends to fight them all, and whatever others may arise, as vigorously and unrelent-average for placements was 149 in 1924 and 180 in 1923, while the average monthly orders for help was 165 in 1924 and 187 in 1923. This indicates that the demand for help was less in 1924 than in 1923. The placements based on orders in 1924 were 91% as compared with 95% in 1923. Because of the industrial conditions faced during the year, it was necessary to employ an assistant on part time pay, which afforded the commissioner an opportunity to spend from three to four hours a day in field work, calling upon the various industries in quest of employment. This met with the approval of the employees and was a means of opening many new avenues of employment for colored people, and at the same time popularized the work of the labor bureau. It gave us an opportunity to acquaint the public more in detail with the necessity of a Community Chest and organi zed charity. The club plans to appoint an Industrial Committee to function with the Labor Bureau in solving the many problems that are coming up each day with reference to employment, and to assist the Labor Bureau in opening new avenues of employment for colored people. There is a great need for closer co-operation with the larger employers and the agencies of the Community Chest, as I have met many of them who were not acquainted with the work of the various agencies. In view of this fact, I recommend that an educational campaign be conducted by the Community Chest for the purpose of acquiring, not only the large employers, but the general public as well, with the work of each agency. A program of employment cannot be put over by the Executive Committee or the Industrial Committee, but should have the support of both white and colored influential citizens. The first six months of 1925 indicates a much higher placement total than in 1924. We are putting forth all efforts to secure jobs for the common laborers that they may not become public charges this winter, as is usually the case among unskilled workers during the winter months. From the information received, it is evident that working conditions in Omaha will be much better this winter than last. Nevertheless, we are not letting up with our efforts to place these people before the winter months set in. It is our earnest desire to sell the Community Chest idea to the general public, not only with words but in rendering service to the community R. NATHANIEL DETT, FAMOUS COMPOSER, TO GIVE RECITAL HERE Omahans are going to have the privilege soon of hearing the eminent composer and pianist, R. Nathaniel Dett, probably the first week in November. The recital is to be under the joint management of Mrs. John Albert Williams and Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston. It is to be for the benefit of the Episcopal church of St. Philip the Deacon. Prominent musicians and music lovers of the city to whom Mr. Dett's compositions and reputation are well known have promised their hearty co-operation in making his first appearance in Omaha a pronounced success. The definite date for the recital has not been fixed. ingly as its means permit. But it can only be effective if backed up by the united and solid support of colored Americans. "The case before the Supreme Court in Washington alone will probably cost upwards of $3,000. These cases must be fought by the very best lawyers and those lawyers must be paid as well as the heavy bills for legal printing and other charges. Any one case may cost from $1,000 to $3,000 and if there are appeals to higher courts, the cost rises proportionately. "It rests with the colored people of the United States whether they will provide the munitions of war. For it is a war and it will be a fight to the finish if the N. A. A. C. P. is given the necessary to properly conduct that fight. Do you want to be a segregated race? Do you want the Jim Crow system extended to the residential streets of northern cities? Or will you fight residential Jim Crow through the courts and before the tribunal of public opinion? The answer rests with colored Americans. The N. A. A. C. P. stands ready to carry out their mandate. It is already embarked upon this immense struggle with shamefully inadequate funds. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, Sec'y, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People."

COMM against Col RELIGIOUS WORK TRAINING FOR COLORED WOMEN Opens in Raleigh, North Carolina, October 1st, in Connection With St. Augustine's School Raleigh, N. C.—A school for the training of young colored women for religious and social work is to be opened here in October, in connection with St. Augustine's school. The institution will be under the auspices of the Protestant Episcopal church and is being established in response to a general demand for trained women for church and community service. The curriculum will cover two years and will include courses in Bible, with special emphasis on the life of Christ, religious education, case work, community organization, recreation, club work, hygiene, and sociology. Practical work will be given in the community and in St. Agnes hospital and training school. The entrance requirement is two years of junior college or its equivalent, but in case of vacancies high school graduates may be admitted as special students. The charges will be $175 a year, which covers board, tuition, books and uniform. The first building, a three-story brick structure just completed at a cost of $30,000, is known as the Bishop Tuttle Memorial House, and will accommodate part of the faculty and twenty students, besides providing a number of class rooms. Application for admission or for further information should be made to the director, Miss Bertha Richards, care St. Augustine's School, Raleigh, N. C. The Rev. Charles H. Trusty, D. D., pastor of Hillside Presbyterian church, formerly St. Paul Presbyterian church, 30th and Ohio streets, will be formally installed as pastor at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening September 30. The installation sermon will be preached by the Rev. Edwin Hart Jenks, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church; the charge to the pastor will be given by the Rev. Dr. J. W. Pressley, secretary of the Nebraska synod, and that to the congregation by the Rev. R. W. Taylor, assistant secretary of the synod. The Rev. H. G. Heuser, moderator, will preside. At a meeting of the presbytery held September 21, consent was given to change the name from St. Paul to Hillside. SEVERAL COLORED BOY SCOUTS MEMBERS COURT OF HONOI It is pleasing to notice in the September number of "Omaha Scout News", the official publication of the Omaha Council Boy Scouts of America, the names of several colored boys, who have been admitted to the Court of Honor for merit in some of the scout activities. Unless one happens to know the respective troops and the boys one would not know their race or color as they are simply named, and that is the proper way to do it, as Boy Scouts. Four members of Troop 79, T. P. Mahammitt, scout master, and one member of Troop 23, Dr. Craig Morris, scout master, have won honors. They are Archie Erown, public health; Clifton Hill, athletics; Nelson Ricketts, athletics; Fred Smith, swimming, all of Troop 79, and William Reed, Troop 23, personal health. Among the officials receiving merit badges is Martin Thomas, assistant scout master, Troop 79, for swimming. The Conference which met in Leavenworth, Kans., last week reappointed the Rev. Charles A. Williams to St. John's A. M. E. church and the Rev. Ollie C. Burckhardt to Allen Chapel this city. The Rev. Fred Divers, former pastor of Bethel, has been appointed to Tousin, Arizona. The Rev. John Adams has been appointed presiding elder for this district. GROWING :: :: :: :: THANK YOU 32 Vol. XI—No. 12 HITTEE hen False STANDARD LIFE AGAIN BECOMES RACE INSTITUTION St. Louis Underwriters Corporation Redeems Old Insurance Company Which Had Passed Into Other Hands THE DEAL INVOLVES MILLIONS Live Group of Responsible St. Louis Business Men Will Take Over Company October 1st St. Louis, Mo—Announcement has just been made from the offices of the St. Louis Underwriters Corporation, 2803 Pine Boulevard, that contracts were signed this week whereby the Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, Ga., become the property of this group of St. Louis business men, thereby bringing back to the race this organization which was their pride. It is understood that the business is to be turned over to the corporation on or about October 1, 1925. The deal represents approximately twenty-four, million dollars worth of insurance in force. Together with the business come assets of close to one hundred thousand dollars. The transfer is made, including good will, the entire agency organization and clerical forces of the home office and branch offices in 13 states. The St. Louis Underwriter's Corp. which is responsible for the redemption of the Standard Life, was founded by the president, who was formerly an agent of the old Standard Life Insurance Company and who cherished the hope of being instrumental in bringing this gem back to the colored people. It will be remembered that at the time the Standard Life Insurance Co. passed into the hands of the Southern Life, a promise was made by Mr. Will G. Harris, president of the Southern Insurance Company, agreeing to sell the company back to any group of reputable Negroes within the next ten years. Several of the officers of the St. Louis Underwriters Corporation, particularly the president, had been instrumental in disposing of a large amount of stock and insurance of the Standard Life, and were naturally interested in its salvation. With this in view, Mr. Harris was approached and after several conferences in Nashville and St. Louis, the deal was finally consummated. Among the personnel of the corporation are leading business and professional men. The officers and directors are as follows: Wm. O. McMahon, president; W. H. Moseby, secretary; A. C. Maclin, treasurer; R. F. Crenshaw, C. A. Pitman, Dr. T. J. Jackson, Dr. C. M. Powell, J. E. Mitchell, Dr. R. C. Haskell, M. L. Sanford, L. S. Williams, Dr. S. P. Sanford, Rev. B. L. Abbott, Dr. H. B. McMechen, Prof. J. B. Coleman, Dr. Wm. B. Tompkins, Willis G. Moseley and Attorney Jos. L. McLemore, counsel. Three of our young girls were graduated from Technical high school last week. They were the Misses Ida B. Crocker, Jessie L. Partridge and Margaret E. Murray. As there were ninety-six graduates in the class our group represented one thirty-second of the whole number. The ratio ought to be larger. Congratulations, girls. But what's the matter with th ebovs? GARDEN CLUB ENTERTAINS The Garden Club of the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C.

WAS HE NOT JUSTIFIED? AS a former Detroiter we are proud of the manner in which our race in that city is rallying to the defense of Dr. and Mrs. Sweet and the other defendants who, in protecting their homes, are charged with slaughter. A large defense fund is being raised and eminent counsel has been secured. Not only the people of Detroit and the state of Michigan, but our people all over the United States, if it becomes necessary so to do, should contribute to this fund and lend all the support within their power. For the issue upon which these worthy members of our race are to be tried is not merely a local issue, it touches the constitutional rights of our citizens everywhere and the sacred principle embodied in all sound jurisprudence that a man's home is his castle and that he is justified in defending his home from all unlawful attacks. The Monitor regrets exceedingly that it was necessary for Dr. Drweet to have to defend his home from the attack of a mob. If the vaciling and weak-kneed mayor of Detroit had acted with vigor in former mob attacks on homes of cultured Negro residents of that city that necessity would not have been placed upon Dr. Drweet. With a hooting mob, milling before his door, trespassing upon his premises and hurling bricks through the windows of his home, if he did shoot as it is charged, was he not justified in shooting into that crowd? Two of the mob were injured one fatally. Whose wound was it? Why did not the police disperse the mob which was trying to intimidate Dr. Sweet and his family who had violated no law by purchasing and moving into a home on Garland avenue? In defending his home Dr. Sweet acted as any other red-blooded American would act and as increasing numbers of our people will act if authorities in various cities will permit mobs, as is becoming so general and alarming, to attempt to drive respectable and law-abiding citizens from their homes in certain neighborhoods simply because of their color. There is an epidemic of this kind sweeping over the country and becoming virulent in many places. It is a situation that has to be courageously met. The right of peaceful domicile is guaranteed by the Constitution to all citizens. If the lawful authorities will be honest in seeing to it that the Negro citizen, in common with others, is protected in the enjoyment of this right, then there will be no trouble. If, however, they do not grant this protection violence and regrettable outbreaks will increase. MULTYPLING BRUTES THERE has been another exhibition of barbarism in Mississippi which remonstrates the United States' readiness for the moral leadership of the less enlightened and pagan nations of the world. A Negro, accused of crime, was burned at the stake. We will assume, for the sake of argument, that the accused black man was guilty of the heinous crime of which he was accused, but why should one black degenerate, ignorant and brutal, have the power to degrade from the pinnacle of their superior status and intelligence one hundred white men to mudder savages? Does it not seem that one black degen THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedman negligible. No element of An 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. Medan 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."

Parsons of 1932E Gravois Ave., St. Louis, Mo., has just recently discovered a new preparation that straightens the hair and keeps it neatly combed. A test by over One Hundred Barbers has just been made and their decision is that it is the most wonderful preparation they have ever used, which can be verified at our office. It is not greasy, gummy or sticky, and is guaranteed to not change the color of the hair or injure the scalp in any way and equally as good for ladies as for gents.
