The penalty prescribed by the bill for anyone violating any of the provisions of the act is a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment for not less than one year or more than five years. N. A. A. C. P. branches are called upon by the national office to send telegrams to the senators from their state, and to induce prominent white and colored people to send letters and telegrams demanding that the bill be opposed. Local editors of both white and colored publications are to be urged to denounce the bill editorially, and churches, lodges, fraternal bodies and political clubs are to be asked to pass resolutions denouncing Senator Caraway's measure. The bill is numbered S-2160 and all communications to senators should mention it by number. The N. A. A. C. P. gives the following reasons for opposing all such measures: 1. That marriage should be entirely a matter of individual choice between persons who are eligible to enter the marriage contract under the general laws of the land. 2. That the Negro cannot in self-respect consent to have himself written down in the statute books as something outside and beneath the human race. 3. That every such law sweeps away from colored girls and women the protection, legal recourse and remedy, where white men are concerned, to which they are entitled as well as other girls and women. 4. That the enactment of such laws does not stop intermixture but sets the stamp of legal approval upon concubinage, bastardy and the degradation of colored women, deprived of the protection of matrimony. DR LOCKE ADDRESSES FORUM OF YOUNG DEMOCRACY Philadelphia—(By the Associated Negro Press) At a meeting of the Forum of Young Democracy, whose membership consists of foreigners who are socialists held at Musical Fund Hall on Sunday afternoon, Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke, former professor of philosophy at Howard University, stated that there is a movement among the American Negro group daily asserting itself along cultural and spiritual lines, that is sure to benefit the nation. Dr. Locke expressed himself as believing that this transformation in the social status "is the result of turning from protest and apologies to racial slf-expression and self-development." Dr. Locke was of the opinion that professional leaders and writers are proclaiming the change as a benefit to racial groups. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Simon Libros.

They will assist in social service and religious work. Business Atlantic City, N. J.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Predicting that Mizpah, the town site being established near here would help to solve the congested living problems of Philadelphia and other cities, while providing a new haven for oncoming immigrants, a group of men prominent in business, religious and welfare activities of the country headed by Mr. Anthony Overton, president of the Douglass National Bank of Chicago, Ill., spent a day recently inspecting the land and investigating the opportunities of the venture. The men who are enthusiastic in their endorsement of the idea which prompted OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1926 Some Salient Facts of Negro History Important for Negro History Week THE NEGRO AS A PIONEER The ancien African taught the modern world the use of iron, the most important of all metals, the one by which science and initiative have remade the Universe. Negroes have a place among the pioneers of American history. Africans were the first to visit the shores of America, according to Professor Leo Wiener of Harvard University; for he has found evidences of African influences on this continent prior to the coming of the white men from Europe. Negroes were with the other adventurers in the discovery and exploration of America. It is said that Pietro Alonzo, il nigro, was a pilot of the fleet with which Columbus discovered America. In the discovery of the Pacific Ocean Balboa carried with him Nuflo de Olano, a Negro. In the conquest of Mexico Cortez was accompanied by a Negro, who on finding in his rations of rice some grains of wheat, planted them as an experiment and thus made himself the pioneer in wheat raising in the Western Hemisphere. Negroes assisted in the exploration of Guatemala and the conquest of Chili, Peru and Venezuela. Estevanico, most noted of all the early Negro explorers, actually led expeditions of the Spaniards in Mexico and Central America and discovered what we now call the states of New Mexico and Arizona. Matthew A. Henson, the last to appear in the role of explorer, was chosen by Commodore Peary to accompany him to the North Pole. Commodore Peary and Commodore MacMillan testify that Henson was chosen because of his peculiar ability to grapple with the problems of the Arctic. He was the best builder of stoves; he was the best dog driver; he was the best interpreter. Henson is, therefore, today the only living man who has seen the North Pole. THE NEGRO LABORER Twenty Negroes were brought to Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619, and were sold into service. They were not enslaved but were indentured as servants; for one of the number not only gained his freedom but became later a slaveholder himself, when most Negroes had been gradually debased to the condition of slaves. The Negro has made a distinct contribution as a laborer. He supplied the demand for cheap labor necessitated by the expansion of trade in the Men Visit Mispah, New Townsite Near Atlantic Mr. N. Rathblott, president of the development, and a well-known business man and philanthropist of Philadelphia, are as follows; Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention; J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of Elks; Mr. Anthony Overton, president of the Douglass National Bank and president of the Victory Life Insurance Co., of Chicago; Dr. Earnest Lyon of the Liberian Council; Rev. J. H. Branham of Chicago; Dr. Jordan, field secretary of the Foreign Mission Board; Rev. Pennick, president of the Baptist State Association of Illinois; Rev. Junius Grey of Baltimore, Dr. Martin, pastor Ashbury M. E. church; commercial revolution. To Negro labor belongs the credit for opening the South, clearing the forests, draining its swamps, and preparing its soil for the culture of sugar, rice, tobacco and cotton. The Negro has enabled the upper strata to produce what culture the South can boast of today. The Negro has not been merely a dull laborer, but of his brain has come the skill of the mechanic and artisan. This aptitude has gone still further, even to the extent of producing in the ranks a number of inventors. THE NEGRO INVENTOR Norbert Rillieux, a Negro of Louisiana, invented the vacuum pan which revolutionized the refining of sugar. Benjamin Banneker, the noted astronomer and mathematician, who worked out one of the first series of almanacs in this country, made the first clock produced in America. Jan E. Matzelliger, a Dutch Guinea Negro, invented a lasting machine by which the tremendously large industry of making shoes by machinery started on its way toward unprecedented success. Elijah McCoy, the pioneer inventor of automatic lubricators, opened a new era in the use of machinery throughout the world. Granville T. Woods, an inventor of electrical appliances, made an undying reputation for himself in the technical and scientific world. THE NEGRO AS A SOLDIER As a soldier the Negro has acquitted himself with honor in all American wars. Crispus Attucks, who fell in the Boston Massacre, was among the first to give himself as a sacrifice for the independence of this country. In 1775 Salem Poor showed such military prowess in the battle of Charlestown that fourteen white officers reported him to Congress as having behaved like an experienced officer as well as an excellent soldier. Negro soldiers came to Andrew Jackson's rescue in the battle of New Orleans in 1814. In return for that contribution to his splendid victory he said: "I knew that you loved the land of your nativity and that, like ourselves, you had to defend all that is most dear to man. But you surpass my hopes. I have found in you, united to these qualities, that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deeds." In the Civil War the Negro soldier gave a still better account of himself. Of those fighting at Port Hud- Atic City. Mr. Earnest T. Attwell of Philadelphia, and Mr. Ira A. Hall, Deputy of Elks, Cam- den, N. J. The Mizpah development comprises about two thousand acres situated on the Pennsylvania Electric Railroad on the direct route between Atlantic City and Philadelphia. Passenger busses are running from Mizpah to Atlantic City. The distance it twenty miles from Atlantic City to Mizpah, and only forty miles to Philadelphia from Mizpah. Most of the inhabitants who are not farming on a small scale commute to Atlantic City and other nearby cities where they work. Carawa son one said: "The deeds of heroism performed by these colored men were such as the proudest white men might emulate." At Fort Wagner the 54th Massachusetts, a Negro Regiment, stood like heroes in the midst of caranage and evoked from their superiors the heartiest thanks for their courage and dash wich convinced observers that Negroes cannot be exceeded as soldiers. In the punitive expedition, under Geueral Pershing, in Mexico in 1916 members of the 10th Cavalry and the 14th Infantry distinguished themselves as the heroes of the hour. In the World War, Negro troops and officers were praised as courageous men, admirable in their attack. Their bravery and dash won the admiration of observers and the gratitude of France, to the salvation of which they made a distinct and valuable contribution. THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS The economic progress of the Negro is unprecedented in the history of the world. Starting almost without anything in 1865, the Negro has today to his credit it property valued at more than a billion dollars. Most of this wealth is in the form of farm acreage and comfortable homes. The race has made exceptional progress, however, in manufacturing, banking, and insurance. As pioneers in developing such businesses among Negroes there stand out preeminently such persons as Isaiah T. Montgomery, John Merrick Mrs. A. E. Malone, Madam C. J. Walker, Samuel Rutherford, W. G. Pearson, C. C. Spaulding, Anthony Overton, and Jesse Binga. THE NEGRO PRESS In no case has the Negro made greater progress than that evidenced by the increasing power of the Negro Press. The few dailies which have appeared here and there have not actually succeeded; but in every large city with a considerable Negro population there is now a successful weekly newspaper publishing to the world the case of the Negro and directing the race in the way of economic, social and religious progress. These organs of thought now number more than three hundred. N. A. A. C. P. WILL MEET SUNDAY The monthly meeting of the Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C.

Vol. XI—No. 30 HOUSE MEASURE FOR HOWARD UNI MEETS WITH FAVOR Bill Enables the Institution to Receive Needed Federal Appropriations in the Regular Way TO INSURE APPROPRIATION Crampton Bill Is Designed to Frustrate Annual Efforts to Throw Out the Appropri- Washington, D. C.—A hearing on the bill to amend the charter of Howard University was held Wednesday, January 27th, by the Committee on Education of the House of Representatives, of which Honorable Daniel A. Reed of New York is chairman. For several years in the House of Representatives the point of order has been raised against appropriations for Howard University as carried in the Interior Department Supply Bill on the grounds that they were not authorized in substantive law. In order to do away with this practice each year, Representative Louis C. Cramton, who handles the Interior Department bill, introduced the Howard University bill, which has the hearty support of the administration and, it is believed, a big majority in both houses of congress. At the hearing held Wednesday, January 27th, Mr. Cramton as sponsor of the bill, explained to the committee that this legislation is needed as substantive law that will make the annual appropriations for Howard University "authorized" as for other government establishments. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of that institution, also appeared and presented in full details the claims of the university upon the government for support such as has been given since 1879. The hearing was a sympathetic one. CONFIRMATION CLASSES AT ST.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are gitizens 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 prop- erty without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. 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 de- pended 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 litera- ture 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 TWO LEXINGTON SETS EXAMPLE KENTUCKY has again demonstrated her determination to see to it that men accused of crime shall be protected from mob violence and be given a hearing in court, It is, indeed, a serious reflection upon our vaunted American civilization that troops have to be called out and martial law proclaimed in order that an alleged criminal may be granted! that which is a fundamental principle of jurisprudence from time immemorial and reiterated in the Constitution of the United States: “the right to a speedy and pub- lic trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wheren the crime shall have been committed.” If, however, it takes the whole military force of the country to enforce this organic law of justice then there should be no hesi- tancy upon the part of those in author- ity to invoke this force. Lexington, Ken- tucky, under martial law, as an insistence that the law shall take its course shows a determination to uphold the constitution which must. command the respect and admiration of the thoughtful. It ought not be necessary in any enlightened and civilized community to call out the troops to restrain mobs and permit courts of law to function, but wherever and when: ever it becomes necessary to teach the lesson that the law must be supreme military power must be used. Lexington sets a good example in this. NEGRO HISTORY WEEK To arouse interest in and promote the study of what the Negro has contributed towards the history of humanity and the world the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, an organization which has done a vast deal of valuable research work, under the skilful and scholarly guidance of Carter G. Woodson, has suggested that the second week in February, beginning the 7th, be observed as Negro History Week. It aims to make it a national celebration, the purposes of which are to popularize the study of Negro history and to secure more sup- port for its promotion. This is a most praiseworthy movement which should meet with a ready response from our people of intelligence everywhere. And not only from our own group but from the cultured of other races. The ignor- ance concerning the achievements of the Negro, or, Negroid people, if you please is astonishing. An impartial study of their contribution to civilization is most enlightening and astounding. We as a group, whether we are willing to admit itor not, ‘Think white.” We have a “white psychology”. This begets an in ferior complex. The impression that we are inherently and congenitally interior. There are reasons for this which are quite obvious. One of the chief reasons is ignorance of our own history. We have been taught that we have no worthlike history and have achieved little or noth- ing. Facts have been brought to light disproving this and showing that we. too, have a history of which we may well be proud, A knowledge of these facts will beget in us racial self-respect and urge us on to worthier heights. Volumes upon volumes of valuable historical facts are available bearing upon our race's achieve- ments and contributions. We owe it to ourselves and to our children to read such books, and to acquaint ourselves with these facts. We hope our readers will observe and receive help and inspiration from the observance of Negro Hitsory Week. THE DUTY OF BEING PLEASANT We owe it to ourselves and to others to cultivate the habit of being pleasant and courteous. It is a duty to be pleas- ant. A sunny smile, a cheerful greeting and a kind word brings happiness to oth: ers and pays large dividends in satisfac- tion to ourselves FILING FOR OFFICE ‘The Monitor notes with pleasure that Dr. John Andrew Singleton has filed for the legislature in the ninth legislative district.

Our people are in the majority in that dis trict and Dr. Singleton can be elected. Make it plain, 100, to republican leaders that if they expect our support for other candidates on the ticket they must deal fairly and squarely with us.

Three years of grace are~al- lowed the gypsies, Then there must be no more wandering through all the Russias.” The covered wagon, the swarthy soothsayer in brilliant rage, wild gypsy music at the roadside camp- fire, must take up the trail to limbo. “Of the many new decrees and programs of the Soviet republic, set- tling the gypsy on the land probably has as little hope as any of accomplish- ment,” says a bulletin of the National Geographic society from its headquar- ters in Washington, “Many nations in many ages have tried to control that strange figure, the gypsy—and have failed. The Flame of Nomadism. “Since the early part of the Nine teenth century students and scholars have tried to understand the gypsy They have compared the gypsy of Rus- sia to the gypsy of Hungary, Spain, England und America. They have charted his westward advance. They have examined his language and Unked it with Sanskrit and tongues of India, They have set down his cus. toms. They have accounted for near. ly every characteristic of the gypsy race except the one that sets the gypsy apart from all other races. Why has the flame of nomadism lived tn the gypsy? Why can't he deny the call of the open road? That Is the real mystery. It stands unexplained, “Gypsies have had inducements to settle on the land in nearly every na- tion they have invaded. In Scotland they paid for vagrancy with thelr necks in the time of James V.
