Many Free Negroes Have Owned Slaves NEGRO WHO REACHED POLE WITH PEARY LAUDED BY SPEAKER Commander McMillan Tells Why Peary Selected Matt Henson to Accompany Him on Trip to North Pole HAD EXPLORER'S CONFIDENCE Chicago, Ill.—Captain McMillan, famous Arctic explorer, broadcasting from WJAZ, the Zenith Radio Station, Straus Bldg., Chicago, Thursday evening, Jan. 21, his lecture showing why Rear Admiral Robt. E. Peary reached the North Pole in April, 1909, says: "Admiral Peary has been criticized for not taking a white man with him to the Pole, but taking instead two Eskimos and the colored man, Matt Henson. "During Peary's 18 years effort to reach the Pole, Matt Henson accompanied him on every expedition. He is one of the best dog team drivers in the world today. "Some of our men, dog teams and sledges of food, were dropped every twenty-five miles to constitute supply stations for Peary's return trip from the Pole. I went with the expedition to a point within 150 miles of the Pole, and when it was found that supplies could be taken for only two men besides the Eskimos in their last lap to the Pole, Peary made the decision and picked the fittest man. There is no other answer to it. Matt Henson was his choice, because he was the best man in the party. "Admiral Peary showed no racial discrimination, but chose the fittest man for the extremely hard and hazardous job of making those long marches in a temperature of 60 degrees below zero." Matt Henson is the only living civilized man who has been to the North Pole. He has added another pinnacle of achievement or wreath of glory to the progress of the race. Hensor is now living in New York City. OLD COUNCIL BLUFFS RESIDENT DIES William Gray, one of Council Bluff's pioneer residents, died at his residence, 1832 Ave. A Sunday morning Jan. 17, with pneumonia after a two weeks' illness.

He was employed at the Orchard and willhelm Carpet Company of Omaha. NEW YORK CITY IS CELEBRATING NEGRO MUSIC New York.—During the past week New York City has quite done its bit in perpetuating the rhythm and soul of Negro music. Following an open musical forum at the Hotel Plaza, at which J. Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon sang Negro spirituals, a concert of Negro music in aid of the Negro Art School was given in the Ambassador theatre last Sunday night under the direction of Will Marion Cook. Besides numbers by Harry Burleigh, James Bland. Paul Laurence Dunbar, and other noted Negro composers. Cook's famous "Mammy" sung by Miss Abbie Mitchell, and "Swing Along" was faultlessly rendered to a packed house. LARGE MID-WINTER REGIS- TRATION AT HOWARD Washington, D. C.-At the end of the winter quarter, Howard University finds its dormitories and classrooms crowded with 1,733 students. In the college department nearly 1,000 have enrolled. The other departments show enormous registrations, as follows: Medicine, 227; dental, 97; pharmacy, 68; law, 88; music, 54; religion, 235. Total for the collegiate year 1925-26 exceeds that for the previous year by several hundred. THE MONITOR The United States has 45 chewing gum factories. On September 27, 1825, the first public railway in the world was opened to traffic. There is an obelisk in Egypt that has never been raised. It weighs 1168 tons. It is estimated that 800,000,000 persons in the world wear shoes of some kind. Thirteen American presidents have been United States senators. A water power sawmill built at South Sunbury, Mass., in 1740, is still in continuous operation. ANNUAL MEETING NORTH SIDE BRANCH W. W. C. A The assembly room of the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. was crowded to capacity last Friday night for the fifth annual meeting: Reports of the various chairmen of the board of management showed encouraging work accomplished in their respective committees. After a piano solo by Miss Margaret Dallas, the nominating committee was presented which showed the following persons elected to the committee of management: Mesdames Elsie Foster, Eva Pinkett, Minnie Dixon and Katherine Trusty, for a three year term; Mrs. Irene Jones, for a two year term; Mesdames Ardina Watson and J. C. Parker, for one year term; Miss Gertrude Lucas, Mrs. Anna Bowler and Mrs. Alice Smith, nominating committee. Brief addresses were given by Mrs. J. H. Vance, chairman of the committee on Colored work; Mrs. Palmer Findlay, a member of the committee on Colored Work and Mrs. aCrie Ada Campbell, general secretary. A few but very sincere words were given by the branch secretary, Miss Edna M. Strattoff, who closed the program by conducting an impressive recognition service for all new adult members coming into the Association since June 1925. The social hour and refreshments were enjoyed by all. The fine spirit of cooperation and fellowship that has existed throughout the year is commendable. The financial goal was reached and went over the top as usual. The total amount raised during the year 1925 was $1,511.01. The meeting was closed with an invocation by the Rev. H. Trusty. SOUTHERN WRITER PRAISES PICKENS' BOOK Dallas, Tex.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Dean William Pickens' outlook on the "race problem" is found to be kindly by G. H., writing in the Dallas Morning News, after having read Mr. Pickens' autobiography, "Bursting Bonds." "There is no great amount of heart in Dr. Pickens' book," G. H. writes. "He tells with a charm born of simplicity but not of naivete how he struggled to get through grammar school and high school in Arkansas, then Talladega College in Alabama, and finally Yale, where he graduated with a Phi Beta Kappa key in 1904. Later he was professor of Greek in his alma mater in Alabama, and for one bitter year was connected with Wiley University at Marshall, Texas. Then he went to Maryland as dean of Morgan College, and in 1923 moved to New York to become field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Southern white people may be interested in his account of his experiences on a Pullman car from St. Louis to Little Rock, and people in Marshall, Texas might be interested in his comment on the relations obtaining between white people and Negroes in the black belt of northeast Texas. But entirely outside of these two sections the book is worth reading because it reveals the kindly outlook of a distinguished member of a race that it beginning to have a healthy race-consciousness." Chicago, Ill.—(By the Associated Negro Press) The health education program of the Young Women's Christian Association in this city is to be supplemented with classes in the "Charleston." The officials of the association believe that the rhythm of the dance will prove beneficial to the tired business girl. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1926 Two Valuable Books by Carter Godwin Woodson Throw Interesting Light on Race History in America Change of Press Policy Pleasing to Race These works are the product of the well known editor of the Journal of Negro History and author of various interesting and valuable works on the Negro. As he has devoted the last fifteen years of his life to the special study of this neglected group, he is now publishing at a rapid rate numerous books treating the various aspects of Negro life and history. These two publications are brought out by the Research Department of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, which the author founded ten years ago and has directed up to the present time. The aim of this work is to facilitate the further study of this neglected group. Most of the people of this country have forgot that about half a million, almost one-seventh of the Negroes in this country were free prior to the emancipation in 1865. These were leaders of this despised class, toiling up sometimes against the teeth of opposition into positions of case and culture. Many were prosperous farmers and efficient mechanics. A few of them were printers, editors, teachers, ministers, physicians and lawyers prior to the Civil War. The statistical report on Free Negro Heads of Families is introduced by a valuable discussion of the free Negro from various points of view. The author therein ably discusses the origin of the free Negro, the prevention of the increase of this class, the free Negro before the law, economic achievement, and social distinctions. Probably the most interesting part of the treatise is the development of early race admixture as the origin of the free Negro. The study is well documented by references to incontrovertible sources which inspire confidence in the author's production and enhance the value of the work. The facts of the statistical part of the work were extracted from the manuscript schedules returned by those who took the census of the United States in 1830. After the editor had first copied the record of one state to acquaint himself in detail with the information given in these census reports, the statistics were then copied under his direction by three persons. The matter thus collected was then verified by the editor and one of his assistants. Accompanying tables give the names of about 50,000 heads of families, showing in each case the district, the county and state in which each lived. In some cases even the streets of the cities on which some resided are given. There appear also the approximate age of the head of the family and the total number of persons in the family including the slaves. Some one has referred to this as a veritable blue book on the Negro aristocracy a century ago. The study of free Negro slave Toledo, Ohio)—By the Associated Negro Press) The Observer, published in this city by Cornelius Edwoods, has just succeeded in a campaign which had as its object respect for the Negro race, as reflected in headlines and stories in the daily papers. Hereafter, according to rules compiled by the white papers of the city the word "Negro" is to begin with a capital letter, and only where absolutely necessary for identification is the word to be used at all. The following rules adopted by the Toledo Blade show the nature of the stand which the dailies have taken: 1. The Blade does not want to play up the fact that any person figuring in the news is colored, nor does it want to suppress the racial adjective in every case. owners is of unusual interest because of the opportunity it offers for understanding the Negro himself. The records show, however, that the Negro owners of slaves were such largely from the point of view of philanthropy. In many instances the husband purchased the wife or vice versa. The slaves belonging to such families were few compared with the large numbers found among whites on the well-developed plantations. Slaves of Negroes were in some cases the children of a free father who had purchased his wife. If he did not thereafter emancipate the mother, as so many such husbands could not do without becoming separated from them, own children were born on slaves and were thus reported by the enumerators. Some of these husbands were not anxious to liberate their wives immediately. They considered it advisable to put them on probation for a few years, and if they did not find them satisfactory they would sell their wives as other slaveholders disposed of Negroes. For example, a Negro shoemaker in Charleston, South Carolina, purchased his wife for $700; but, on finding her hard to please, he sold her a few months thereafter for $750, gaining $50 by the transaction. Benevolent Negroes often purchased salves to make their lot easier by granting them their freedom for a nominal sum, or by permitting them to work it out on liberal terms. John Barry Meachum, a Negro Baptist minister of St. Louis, thus came into possession of as many as twenty slaves by 1836. The exploitation type of Negro slaveholder, moreover, sometimes feeling the sting of conscience, liberated nas slaves. Thus did Samuel Gibson, a Negro of Mississippi, in 1844, when he brought his six slaves to Cincinnati, Ohio, and settled them on free territory. Having economic interests in common with the white slaveholders, the Negro owners of slaves often enjoyed the same social standing. It was not exceptional for them to attend the same church, to educate their children in the same private school, and to frequent the same places of amusement. Under such circumstances miscegenation easily foMowed. While those taking the census of 1830 did not generally record such facts, the few who did, as in the case of Nansemond County, Virginia, reported a situation which today would be considerd alarming. In this particular county there appeared among the slaveholders free Negroes designated as Jacob of Read and white wife and Syphe of Matthews with white wife. Others reported with white wives were not slaveholders.

"Negress" must never be used. "Black" is prohibited. 4.—Whenever "Negro" is used it must be capitalized. The word is seldom necessary, however, except where it is a part of the name of an organization, such as "Negro Business Men's Club" or something of that sort. The Omaha Daily News and the World-Herald adopted this policy some months ago. They, however, still offend by using the word "Negress" which ought to be stopped.

PHILIP'S MISSION ORGANIZE AS PARISH At a largely attended parish meeting held in the Guild Rooms Monday night the congregation of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon formally organized and incorporated as a parish and elected the following Wardens and Vestrymen: Senior Warden, Isaac Bailey; Junior Warden, Birney B. Cowan; vestrymen, Henry W. Black, Charles W. Dickerson, Dr. William D. Fountain, William G. Haynes, Charles T. Smith, J. Frank Smith and Dr. Herbert Wiggins. William G. Haynes was re-elected treasurer and Dr. Fountain clerk of the vestry. The Rev. John Albert Willams, who has been vicar of St. Philip's for many years was unanimously elected rector of the parish. For many years the Church of St. Philip the Deacon has been recognized as one of the strongest missions of the Diocese of Nebraska and for some time has considered becoming a parish. The parish owns church property valued at $35,000 and is entirely free from debt. It has a communicant membership of 170. Certain improvements are contemplated and a progressive program is being outlined. NEGRO'S INDUSTRIAL FUTURE TO BE DISCUSSED New York.-At the time of the fifteenth annual meeting of the National Urban League here February 3-5, an important conference will be held which will mean much in the future programs of industrial and community welfare for the Negro Representatives from at least fifty urban communities will attend this conference and confer on such subjects as "Health and Housing," "Recreation and Training of Workers in Industry". White and colored students of the problem of race contacts will confer on methods by which friction may be avoided and better and more lasting fellowship between the various racial elements in America may be promoted. AGED COAL PICKER PREVENTS TRAIN WRECK Hammond, La.—(By the Associated Negro Press) But for the action of Lawson Williams, 65, the Panama Limited, Chicago to New Orleans, the crack train on the Illinois Central, would have been wrecked and many lives lost. Williams was picking coal along the track when he discovered several spikes had been removed from the rails. Officials were notified and the train halted a few miles from the city. The spikes were replaced while the train with its cargo of human freight resumed its flight against time, and the aged man is richer by the collection of a few dollars donated by the passengers. Washington, D. C.—In addition to radio stations WCAP and WRC, this city boasts of stations 3LF and 3JF, regularly licensed radio stations operated by a colored expert, Rufus P. Turner. This is the first colored station in the world. The largest American educational institution in the near east is at Beirut, Syria. COLORED BROADCASTING Number 549 Vol. XI—No. 29 Slaves LEAGUE OFFERS GOLD PRIZES FOR BEST RACE SLOGAN Race Attorneys of Both Coasts Donors of Gold Prizes for Sesqui-Centennial Slogans; Everyone Can Enter Contest Boston, Mass., Jan. 10, 1926—By relinquishment of the privilege of donating the 2nd prize on the part of Hon.

Tyree living here, have been married sixty-four years, and are receiving congratulations of friends. The man says that they never quarrelled. She say nothing, but Mr. Tyree adds: "I wouldn't live with a woman who nagged at me." DR. BOWENS AND VIRGINIA Norfolk—Dr. Jarvis Bowens, long since an expert in the Negro social welfare of Virginia and at present the director of Colored Activities in a gigantic factory and millwork project in Nansemond County, Va., has issued the call for two thousand industrious colored families, the heads of which are skilled as millwrights, electricians, machinists, plumbers, steam-fitters, and skilled mechanics, to locate permanently in Nansemond where employment at good wages and pleasant home surroundings await them. This giant project represents the money and the confidence of promoters who believe that American Negro labor is as good as any that can be found. It is the call of opportunity for Negro artisans who are prepared to make good in an industrial project of great promise. NEGRO EXPERT DEMONSTRATOR Washington—Cortez W. Peters, graduate of the business department of Dunbar high School, and champion amateur typist of the world, was presented a Christmas check for one hundred dollars by the Underwood Typewriter Company in appreciation of his typing efficiency, and has accepted an offer as expert demonstrator of the Underwood typewriter at the initial salary of $2,100 a year and all expenses.

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."

Have we learned to look ahead and plan largely and wisely for the future? Have we learned to set a definite objective and work unitingly for its attainment? These are the questions which we do well to consider. We are under the impression that if we give them careful thought we shall find that each one has to be answered in the negative. And yet if we study the success of peoples who have achieved most we shall find that they have looked ahead and planned ahead and worked diligently, doggedly and patiently for the objective set. PREPAREDNESS PREPAREDNESS is a word which was much in vogue a few years ago. It was brought to the fore by the World War into which America was thrust or forced by conditions which sober judgment finds extreme difficulty in justifying. The United States not looking for war was unprepared for it when the real or supposed exigency forced us into it. This unpreparedness cost us dearly. The country is still staggering under the burden which the war and our unpreparedness laid upon us. It stressed a truth that needs emphasizing at all times, the necessity of careful preparation and training for opportunities that may come or for exigencies which may arise in one's life. No group of people needs this lesson more than our own. We may decry, and with some justification, yes, much justification, the limitations under which we are placed by racial prejudice in the matter of employment, avocations and careers. This has a tendency to make some relax their efforts for intellectual training and betterment, to be easily satisfied with a meager or primary education. This is a great mistake. We should be ambitious to be weftrained and well-prepared to seize opportunities when they come. The time to get ready is before opportunity comes. And preparedness, readiness comes not by any magical or quick plan, but by diligent, patient, thorough work. The best equipped man or woman, the best prepared man or woman, will find his or her place of usefulness and service when the exigency arises or the opportunity comes. Whatever you may want to do, or become, see to it that you THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedmen 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 use every effort and facility to be fully prepared for it. Preparedness, thorough-going preparedness, is one of our greatest needs and will prove a most valuable asset. PENNY RELIGION "Sammie," said a doting daddy, one Sunday morning to his little son from behind his newspaper, "here's a penny for Sunday school and a dime for the ice cream soda I promised you. Run on to Sunday school and be a good boy." Sammie ran on to Sunday school, where he put his penny in the collection, and Sunday school over, he crossed the street to the corner drug store and spent his dime for his ice cream soda. Sammie's dad was a good man, the type of many fathers, who did not for a moment think that he was teaching his son a very bad lesson. He was teaching him that God's claim upon his life was a very insignificant thing. He was teaching him to give pennies for religion and dimes and dollars for the gratification of his personal wants, not necessarily needs. It is this wrong proportion between the recognition of God's claim upon us and that which he has given us and our own personal pleasures and wants which accounts for so much penny religion in the world today. ADVERTISING OUR people need to be educated as to the value of advertising. No business has ever developed except by advertising. Advertising pays on else great business institutions would not spend millions of dollars yearly in newspaper and other advertising. While our business people learn how to advertise, merchants of the other group who want our people's patronage must indicate that they want it by advertising in our race newspapers. This is becoming to be a recognized fact by wide-awake merchants. THE WORLD COURT AMERICA has at last voted to enter the World Court. This long delayed action is a step in the right direction in assuming our place in relationship with other nations of the world. Selfish isolation, individual or national, is a suicidal policy.

Burnham-on-Sea. — It is a far cry from this little old-world village to Point Buoy, or the Bristol channel but it means something to James Cox the town crier. For many years his voice has been heard resounding along the Marine Parade to Point Buoy, seven miles away. For this reason, when Mr. Cox competed in the national contest for town criers, the great metropolitan dailies described him as the man with "the seven-mile voice." Burnham-on-Sea, where the portly and dignified Mr. Cox, with his flowing coat and quiet appurtenances of office, has become an institution, thrilled with pride. At last the worth of its hero had been recognized. But from America came the report that Mr. Cox's accomplishment was doubted. This surprised and disturbed many of the citizens, but Mr. Cox maintained dignified silence. F. S. Patey, proprietor of the Gazzette, was named spokesman in behalf of Mr. Cox and the village. "There is no disputing the fact, locally, that James Cox can be heard for a distance of seven miles," he says. "This has been proven on more than one occasion. When Mr. Cox is crying on the Marine Parade his voice can be distinctly heard at the Point Buoy, which is seven miles down the Bristol channel from Burnham-on-Sea. Captains of vessels more than once have heard Mr. Cox making his announcement of lost, stolen or strays and have testified to this fact."
