MISSISSIPPI AGAINST MOB LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy State Historical Society MANY MEASURES AFFECTING RACE BEFORE CONGRESS The Anti-Lynching Bill Will Again Be Vigorously Pushed by Friends and Sharply Opposed by Enemies REPUBLICANS ARE IN CONTROL With Majorities in Both Houses Republicans Have No Excuse for Side-Stepping Important Measures Washington, D. C.—During the present session of the sixty-ninth Congress, which convened Monday, December 7, many bills of special interest to colored people of this country, will be considered. In his message to Congress, Tuesday, President Coolidge covered the economic condition of the country comprehensively and devoted one paragraph to say that the Negro needed "sympathy." The bills of vital interest to colored Americans is a bill which L. C. Dyer, Republican of Missouri, has introduced; to assure persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching. The present Congress has a Republican majority in both houses; but there will be little chance of the Dyer bill becoming a law. The klan has too many members in both the House and Senate to pass that bill. This bill was killed in the 67th Congress by the Klan and it has more members in this, the 69th, than it had in the 67th Congress. A bill to provide for an Industrial Commission is expected to be introduced. It will provide for a commission of five members, three of whom shall be colored, to be appointed by the President. The salaries would be $7,000 for the chairman and $5,000 for each of the four commissioners. This commission would study the economic conditions and labor problems affecting the Negro; and try to formulate a policy of mutual understanding between the races. Representative Hood introduced a bill to erect a monument in Washington, to all the Negro soldiers and sailors of this country. It provides for an appropriation of $500,000 on the condition that a like sum be raised by popular, subscriptions. A perplexing problem affecting the 118,000 colored residents of Washington, will be the Bill on Public Bathing Facilities. Clarence O. Sherrill, a Wilson holdover, from North Carolina, in charge of buildings and grounds, is sure to oppose equal bathing facilities for all citizens of the Capitol. With a called meeting of the Trustee Board of Howard University for this month, to investigate Dr. Durkee, the president, will bring the University in the limelight. Representative Louis C. Crampon will likely introduce a bill to federalize Howard University. In the hearings on this bill, the whole thing will come to light. In addition to the bills likely to be introduced there is possibility of appointments of colored men. The term of Judge R. H. Terrell as judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, will expire next April. He will hardly be reappointed. However, a colored lawyer may get this appointment, which requires Congressional confirmation. There is some possibility of Haiti receiving a Minister from this government. It is possible a colored man may get that, which requires confirmation also. The Agricultural Department, the Civil Service Commission and the Treasury departments should be entered by Negro appointees. As the Congressional election comes off next November, the Negro will keep a close eye on the first session of the 69th Congress and many votes will be made or lost accordingly. CATHOLICS INDORSE MEMORIAL FOR SOLDIERS AND SAILORS Washington—(By the Associated Negro Press) A proposed national memorial to colored soldiers and sailors who have given their lives for their country in all wars from the Revolutionary to the World War, was indorsed by the Federation of Colored Catholics of the United States which closed its first annual convention in this city Monday. Emphasis, during the convention, was laid upon the necessity of colored Catholics individually doing as much as they could toward the improvement of the condition of the race and the burden which the Roman Catholic Church bears because of the comparatively few Negroes who are members. The Rev. S. W. Turner of the Hampton Institute was elected president of the federation which next year will meet in this city again. THE MONITOR GOVERNOR PINCHOT APPOINTS EDWARD W. HENRY, AS JUDGE Phila.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Governor Pinchot appointed Edward W. Henry as magistrate to preside over Magistrate Court No. 2, Wednesday. This is the court presided over by the late Amos M. Scott, who had the distinction of being the first colored magistrate. Mr. Henry's appointment is looked upon with favor by large numbers, and the Record (Philadelphia's second largest paper) commenting editorially upon his candidacy, referred to Mr. Henry as being eminently fitted for the position. Mr. Henry is well-known throughout the state, and was for five years president of the famous Citizen's Republican Club, resigning just a few months ago. He is active in fraternal and educational circles and has a large following. LOUISVILLE HOME BOMBED: The Louisville Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has posted a reward of $100 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of bombing for the second time in less than two months on Thanksgiving morning, the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. Sayles. In posting the reward, Wilson Lovett, president of the Louisville Branch of the Association, is quoted by the Louisville News as saying: "Louisville must avoid anything like the Detroit situation. We want no raid race troubles here. Therefore the N. A. A. C. P. offers a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons guilty of the outrage on the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sayles. That is not such a large sum but it is an evidence of our desire to keep the peace. Police officers whose duty it is to protect all citizens are welcome to the reward." The first dynamiting of the Sayles home occurred on Oct 11, when the neighboring home of A. S. Starks was also injured. The present bombing occurred at about 4 o'clock in the morning and two neighbors saw a white man running from the scene. Mr. Sayles fired five shots at the fleeing figure. MRS. BETHUNE ASKS CHANCE FOR COLORED STUDENTS Philadelphia—(By the Associated Negro Press) In an address before the large student body in the William Penn High School for Girls, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, prominent in Women's Club, educational and social service activities throughout the country, asked her hearers the majority of whom were white to give their colored classmates not only a chance in the school-room, but she urged them to be reasonable with them and deal fairly with them in the after years. Mrs. Bethune believes that through education in social ethics that will teach men and women to deal fairly and with a spirit of tolerance with the members of other races, much good can be done. Certainly declares Mrs. Bethune there will be less friction. Fully three thousand pupils, nearly all of whom are white heard the address, which was, well received. Mrs. Bethune is one of the few race women who have been privileged to address the student body of William Penn. DR. SWEET TO ADDRESS KAPPA PSI FRATERNITY CONVENTION Chicago, Ill.—(By the Associated Negro Press) According to an announcement made by Attorney Earl B. Dickerson, Grand Polemarch of the Kappa Psi fraternity, Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Detroit, Michigan, will be one of the speakers to address the convention of the fraternity, which will be held in New York City, December 27.31.

Among the other prominent speakers will be Dr. Robert Bagnall, New York; Dr. M. O. Bousefield, president of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, Chicago; Judge William H. Harrison, Chicago; Attorney T. C. Nutter, Charleston, W. Va.; Attorney R. M. Van Dyke, Topeka, Kans.; B. K. Armstrong, Kansas City, Mo.4 Bishop R. C. Ransom, Philadelphia, and Bishop W. T. Vernon. The sessions will be held in Earl Hall, Columbia University. SUES SUGAR COMPANY FOR THIRTEEN THOUUSAND New Orleans, La.,—(By the Associated Negro Press) Frank Graham has sued the Henderson Sugar Refining Company for thirteen thousand dollars damages, claiming injuries when a truck owned by the company-knuckled him from a bicycle and permanently injured him. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1925 HOWARD KENNEDY CITY "CHAMPS" 12 a score of 1-1 after a hard fought battle. The winners in addition to winning them. Finally last Friday Howard Ken- the championship trophy will be awarded Dreaming of Santa PROMINENT SOUTHERNER WARM FRIEND OF NEGRO CALLED AWAY BY DEATH By Special Request of the Deceased Made Prior to His Death Singers from St. Paul's School Assist at Funeral Services Lawrenceville, Va., Dec. 14.—The funeral of Mr. Frank W. Davie took place yesterday. Mr. Davie was one of the best known white citizens and business men in the county, being at the time of his death president of the local telephone company, and interested also in other business ventures. Mr. Davie was a staunch friend and supporter of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School and was greatly interested in its work of uplift and its efforts to promote better race relations. A short while before his death he expressed a wish, in which his wife HOWARD KE It took three games between Highland Park and Howard Kennedy to decide the city championship in the annual Omaha Bee Grade School Soccer tournament. These two teams eliminated all other contestants. Two games between the contestants for the championship resulted in a score of 1-1 after a hard fought battle. Finally last Friday Howard Ken- joined, that Archdeacon Russell and singers from St. Paul's be invited to take some part at his funeral. He died Saturday morning. Archdeacon Russell was in Norfolk to fill Sunday engagements in Norfolk and Hampton. At the request of the family he was wired to return as he was desired as a honorary pall bearer, Archdeacon Russell came up Saturday night and both he and his son, Rev. J. Alvin Russell, attended the funeral as honorary pall bearers. The funeral services were held at the house, the Rev. M. Gayle, pastor of the M. E. Church South, was the officiating minister. By request of Mrs. Davie a mixed sextette from St. Paul's school sang two selections at the house, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Lead Kindly Light" at the grave. The incident is worth noting as showing the excellent race relations existing. The requests came entirely ENNEDY CITY nedy captured the coveted honors by one point, the score being 10. It is rather noteworthy that all the members of the Highland Park team except three were white boys while all the members of the Howard Kennedy team, except three, were colored boys. The winners in addition to winning the championship trophy will be awarded unsolicited by the school and were in the nature of a surprise. A large number of friends and business associates of Mr. Davie were present and there seemed to be perfect acquiescence in the arrangement. Mr. Davie was one of the best men in the county and was highly thought of by both white and black for his integrity, broad-mindedness and likable personality. It was the first time in the history of the county that Negroes had been known to act as pall bearers at a white funeral or Negro singers to appear. It is another incident that shows that it is possible for the races to live together in peace, harmony and good feeling. St. Louis, Mo.,—(By the Associated Negro Press) The Rev. Noah Wellington Williams, pastor of the St. Paul A.M.E. Church, the largest church at the connection in the city, was married Wednesday evening to Miss Helen Rose Armstrong.

NEGRO AVIATOR FLEW OVER BIG FOOTBALL GAME Philadelphia, Pa.—(By the Associated Negro Press) The 70,000 spectators at the Cornell-Pennsylvania game here Thursday afternoon, Thanksgiving Day, at the great University (Stadium, who were thrilled by the antics of an aeroplane high in the air, looping the loop, nose-diving, spiralg, and other stunts didn't realize it was a race man who was doing the stunts. The aviator was none other than Lieutenant Hubert Julian of the Royal Canadian Air Force, who made an unsuccessful start to fly around the world several months ago. After performing for ten minutes, he released thousands of pieces of green paper very much like Uncle Som's green backs. As the supposed greenbacks came fluttering downward, there was a "general rush to get them, but instead of money, the recipients found that it was a clever advertising stunt of the Edwin B. Jackson, Inc., of 1629 Arch Street, Iverland, and Willys-Knight cars, containing a message that it was "Like Picking Money Out of the Air to Seize This Opportunity to Purchase an Overland or Willys Knight Car." JEWISH MERCHANT BUUILDS HOMES FOR HIS CUSTOMERS Camden, N. J.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Masons started Friday to lay the brick-work of the new apartment house for colored tenants at 724 Chestnut Street. It will be the largest of its kind in the state. Impressed by the desire among Negroes for decent houses to live in and because they have made him what he is today, Louis Rothman, the owner, changed his original plan of providing for garages on the site of an apartment house. It will contain apartments for twenty-four families on its three floors. Because of the pioneer position which it occupies, the new apartment house has been delayed to some extent. Insurance companies had no standard rates to charge for the structure of its size occupied by colored people. In other cities, particularly Atlantic City, numerous apartment houses are occupied solely by race people, but the buildings are of a smaller type. The limit heretoof has been twelve families, according to the State Tenement House Supervision Board. "I saw the great demand for proper housing in that section of the city," Rothman said Friday. "The rents that colored people are forced to pay should entitle them to better living conditions. I have been commended by some of the City Commissioners for going ahead with the venture and they assure me that it will be a paying proposition. I'm glad to be able to do something for the improvement of the city, but expect that it will be a good investment at the same time." FAKE MAGICIAN ARRESTED Richmond, Va.,—(By the Associated Negro Press) When Sam Washington could not make good a boast that he could turn to a buzzard, by which he swindled a woman out of fifteen dollars, Judge Henry Maurice sent him to jail. Washington is said to have told the woman that if she gave him fifteen dollars he would turn himself into a buzzard and secure the release of a friend from jail. The judge gave him the opportunity to effect the transformation and he failed. Wilmington, Del.—(By the Associated Negro Press) From all parts of the country comes the significant news that the Seventh Annual Convention of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority will be overwhelmingly attended by delegates, members, and friends of this peerless and progressive organization of Negro collegewomen of which G. Dorothy Pelham of Washington, D. C., is president, Sadie Mossel Alexander of Philadelphia, honorary-president, and Edna Johnson Braddock, of Des Moines, Iowa, general secretary. A special parish meeting is called for Monday night, December 21st at 8 o'clock in the Guild Rooms of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon for the transaction of important business. A large and representative attendance is requested. The usual service Sunday at 7:30 a.m.; 10 and 11a.m. and 8 p.m. The Every Member Canvass will be made Sunday afternoon. The Christmas services will be as follows: Midnight Mass, Thursday Christmas Eve; Holy Communion 8 a.m.; full morning service and Holy Communion at 11 a.m. GROWING :: :: :: :: THANK YOU 44 Vol. XI—No. 24 MOB MISSISSIPPIANS TAKE FIRM STAND AGAINST MOBBISTS Governor, Supreme Court Judges and Legislators Taking Active Part in Movement Against Menace FOR STRICT LAW ENFORCEMENT Publish Pamphlet Giving Lynching Data to Be Circulated Through- Jackson, Miss.—Sheriffs, their deputies, and all other law enforcement officers are urged to use armed force and to risk their own lives in suppressing lynchings and mob violence, in a pamphlet entitled "Mississippi and the Mob", which has just been brought out by state officials, officers and leading members of the State Bar Association, and other prominent citizens. Among the signed statements making up the book are ringing declarations against mob violence by Governor H. L. Whitfield, Speaker Thomas L. Bailey, of the House of Representatives, President J. N. Flowers, of the State Bar Association, a number of judges of the Supreme Court, members of Congress, prominent lawyers, educators, churchmen, and club women. Prominent place is given also to the recent anti-lynching statement made by the Mississippi Women's Committee on International Cooperation, which has since been affirmed by hundreds of Mississippi women at the meetings throughout the state. An important section of the pamphlet is given to suggestions for the prevention of lynching. Sheriffs are urged to announce in advance that they expect to do their duty in every case, even at the risk of their own lives; to employ as deputies only those persons who agree to go to the same length in upholding the law; ascertain the names of men who are opposed to mob violence and to swear these in as special deputies at the first sign of trouble; to remove to the jails of other counties prisoners threatened with mob violence; and to call upon the Governor to order out the National Guard if needed. The lynching statistic for the last forty years are given, showing 530 victims to the discredit of Mississippi. The popular fallacy regarding "the usual cause of lynchings is also mercilessly exposed. Photographs of a recent lynching are shown and "respectfully referred to the next Grand Jury." State officials, members of the Bar Association are distributing the pamphlets widely and are offering medals in each congressional district for the best essays. This pamphlet and the recent statement by Mississippi women represent the first highly organized efforts in this state to mobilize public sentiment for the eradication of lynching. They are regarded as highly significant and are expected to have a profound effect on public sentiment. Baltimore, Md.,—(By the Associated Negro Press) Tests conducted among male and female students by John Hopkins University reveal that the cause for women being late in so many instances is resident in their inability to guess time. Invariably, they fail to realize how fast time is passing. Thus, in preparing for an engagement, they allot so much time for dressing, maybe thirty minutes. It passes before they know it, and as a consequence, they are late. It's something in their blood that they can't get away from, the scientists say. AMOS SCOTT LEAVES $45,800 Philadelphia, Pa.—(By the Associated Negro Press) According to the last will and testament of the late Magistrate Amos M. Scott, his estate, consisting of real estate which is valued at $45,800, is left to his three daughters, Clara, Thelma, and Myrtle Scott. It was disclosed here Saturday.

Gerald Hugo Adams, older son of Mrs. John Dixon, leaves December 20 for Little Rock, Ark., to spend his Christmas vacation with his mother's brother, Dr. Leroy Williams, druggist. He will meet for the first time his little cousins, who with their grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. I. Garland Penn, are also spending the holidays in Little Rock. Many a Santa Claus is walking on crutches this Christmas. A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED PRIMARY TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT OMAHA, NEBRASKA, BY THE MONITOR PUBLISHING COMPANY Address, The Monitor, Postoffice Box 1204, Omaha, Neb. Telephone WEbster 4243 1. 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 popular 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." VAGE TW WHAT is it that makes a village, a town or a city progressive and prosperous? The answer is a civic consciousness which awakens a civic spirit and a civic pride. To make our meaning quite clear let us define the terms used. Civic is one of those expressive words which comes from the Latin language, as so many of our most suggestive words do, and means pertaining to the city, its inhabitants, its government, its customs, hence that which pertains to citizenship. It emphasizes collectiveness rather than individualism; corporate action, team work, rather than isolated individual effort. It thinks and acts in terms of the whole community. This is precisely what civic means: pertaining to the city, and all the inhabitants thereof. Consciousness means the awareness of one's existence or condition. The knowledge, if you please, of one's personality and individuality. This may impress you as being rather abstract and high brow, as we say, but just think it over and you will be sure to get it. Now civic consciousness means simply the recognition of the existence of the city and the cheerful and willing acceptance upon the part of every citizen of his obligations and responsibilities for the fullest and highest development of the community of which he is an integral part and a participant in its privileges and advantages, or disadvantages, as the case may be. Civic consciousness begets a civic spirit and civic pride. Absence of these essential spells decadence. Where there is no civic consciousness and consequently no civic spirit or pride there can be no progress. We are not sure where the fault lies but we believe that Omaha's apparent inability to put over successful big civic enterprises is due to the absence of a keen civic consciousness, an alert civic spirit and an impelling civic pride. Some few outstanding business and professional men have caught the vision, but the majority have not and have become so absorbed in their own selfish business and commercial enterprises that, like blind Sampson, they are foolishly pulling down the temple upon their own heads. For a prosperous, growing progressive city means success for all, like a slothful, sleepy and decadent city means disaster for all. Where the civic spirit is dormant or dead there can be but little growth. As a dangerous symptom, and only one of several, indicitive of Omaha's lack of civic spirit and civic pride may be mentioned our failure to raise the amount needed for the Community Chest. While other cities have in most instances not only raised but over-subscribed their quotas, Omaha after a month's campaign, has secured only about eighty per cent of her quota, or $100,000 short of the required sum. Omaha has just as much ability as Des Moines, Denver, Kansas City or Minneapolis. What is the trouble? Those cities have civic spirit and civic pride, which Omaha lacks. Who is to blame for it?_Well, in the humble judgment of The Monitor, much of the blame lies at the door of that most delightful mutual admiration society, the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, which says in effect, "I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing", and knowest not that it is wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked when it comes to the manifestation of a whole-hearted and sincere civic spirit. Has not commercialism impaired its vision? As we see it one of the big tasks before all the people of Omaha for the New Year is the awakening of a civic consciousness, a civic spirit and civic pride. This movement to be successful must embrace all classes of our citizenship and not be confined to select coteries or groups. NOT TOO RELIGIOUS CLARENCE DARROW in addressing a mass meeting of our people in New York last Sunday is reported as saying in effect that Negroes are too religious. He advised, so the report said, less dependence upon Moses and the Lord and more dependence upon ourselves. If he meant, as he probably did, that too many of our people expect the Lord to do for them what the Lord wants them to do for themselves, then, of course, he is right. But if he meant that we should recognize our sufficiency of ourselves to help ourselves without reliance upon God, of course, he is absolutely wrong. Those who leave God out of the count of human affairs will be on sand. Unhappy indeed will be our lot, if the day should ever come, when the almost childlike faith of our people in a just and righteous God shall waver. This childlike faith has been the power that has sustained us in our darkest hour and brought us thus far on our way. Much of our religion has been more emotional, than balanced by the intellect and will, and yet at that it has been the sheet anchor which has held us true and steady and the light which has guided us to the right haven. We need among us the increase of true religion, which emphasizes the fact that we are fellow WORKERS with God, doing our full duty in the light of this relationship. James Weldon Johnson has beautifully stated the need and aspiration of our race in the closing stanza of the national hymn for the colored people of America: True to our God, true to our Native Land." No, not too religious, but more consistently religious, is our need today and if the Negro can in some measure at least make this contribution to America it will prove a gift of priceless worth.
