Indiana Fights High School Segregation From Slave Cabin to Halls of Fame Is Career of Roland Hayes, Tenor --- LIFTING LIFT TOO State Historical Society $2.00 a Year—5c LIFE IN BALANCE; OPERATE ON HEART New Orleans, La.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Robert Wilkins is still alive at a local hospital with a stab wound through the heart, although physicians give him small hopes of recovery. Wilkins is the fourth man to undergo a delicate operation on the heart, the other three dying after a lapse of two weeks. Wilkins was stabbed by James Bailey in an argument over a dollar bill. The moving picture screen, reflecting the masterpieces of romantic imagination and photographic art, has never portrayed a more remarkable story than that of Roland Hayes, the sensational Negro tenor, who is now making his third American tour. The remote cabin of a former slave; a widowed mother, but lately freed, struggling in the fields and at the tub to feed her hungry brood; a barefoot, ill-clad black boy plowing a rocky hillside, an occasional few months of school, so poor and so far between as to offer no hope of real education—this is the picture that first appears. The scenes shift as the years pass, but still heavy across the screen hang the shadows of privation, of menial tasks and heart-breaking struggle. Here and there a glint amid the gloom—the beginnings of hard-won education, the awakening of ambition, the unfolding of hope—while in the background shadowy but potent hands shape in the darkness the destiny of a life. Another shift and the scenes of today flash upon the screen. What a contrast! A blaze of lights, the concert stages of the greatest musical capitals; the palace halls of earth's proudest monarchs; wealth and fame without stint; and at the center of it all the same black boy, now become a man, acclaimed by thousands as among the greatest artists of his day! The same? Yes; and herein, to those who know, is the real wonder of Roland Hayes—not his spectacular career and astounding success, but the fact that through it all he has remained the same—modest, unassuming, earnest, hard-working; fired with ambition, to be sure, but, with the ambition to serve rather than to achieve for himself. Roland Hayes was born of ex-slave parents in a cabin near Curryville, North Georgia. Left fatherless at the age of 12, he at once went to work in the fields to help in the family support. His mother, he says, "was a remarkable woman, uneducated, but wise and sane," ambitious that her children "should become good men and women, industrious and self-supporting." Educational opportunities were limited in the community; so she moved to Chattanooga, where Hayes worked in a foundry by day and studied at night. Here came the first great crisis of his life. He met a colored teacher of music who recognized that he had an unusual voice. This friend took him to the home of a white man, where for the first time, by means of the victrola, he was introduced to the world's great singers and to its wealth of classical music. In that moment, says Hayes, he was born again. A new world of beauty was opened to him and a great ambition awoke in his soul. From that time forth the cultivation of his voice became the prime purpose of his life. A course at Fisk university followed, where he had four years of excellent SOUTHERN NEGROES FLOCK INTO PHILADELPHIA, PA Philadelphia, Pa.—(By the Associated Negro Press) The thousands of colored migrants who returned home to "spend the winter" are now coming back by the hundreds. They are accompanied by others who have never been north. A visit to the Pennsylvania Railroad Station on Market street, this city, will prove it. THE MONITOR MANY NEGRO HOMES CONSUMED BY FIRE Newport, Ark.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Nearly two hundred homes of Negroes were in the direct path of the fire which swept thirty city blocks here, destroyed a total of 325 residences and resulted in the death of Mrs. Mary Johnsos, an aged colored woman. This was the only fatality. The loss was one million and a half, partly covered by insurance. training, maintaining himself the while by work in somebody's home. Then he was dismissed from Fisk—he has never found out why. It was a hard experience at the time, but looking back upon it now he counts that also a part of the plan, for it sent him to Louisville, where another door of opportunity was opened, apparently by chance. Working as a waiter in the Pendennis club, he was often called upon to sing before the guests. There he was heard by a Mr. Putnam of Boston, who, unknown to Hayes, was struck by his singing and mentioned his interest to a member of the club. When Hayes was planning later to go to Boston to work and study, he happened to speak about it to the very man Mr. Putnam had spoken to. "No," not happened," says Hayes; "that, too, was part of the plan." Anyway, it worked. Mr. Putnam persuaded four of the leading teachers of Boston to try Hayes' voice. As a result, he became a pupil of Arthur Hubbard. For eight years he worked and studied. Then he determined to take the great plunge. He engaged Boston Symphony hall for a concert and obligated himself for an initial expense of $1,000. His only hope was that he could sell enough tickets in advance to meet the obligation. Single-handed he did it, and scored a great triumph. Incidentally, he cleared $2,000. Two years later he went to London, where after a hard fight he won public recognition and received a royal command to sing before the king and queen in Buckingham Palace. Since that time one phenomenal success has followed another. He has sung in all the musical capitals of Europe and in the principal American cities, and everywhere has been acclaimed an artist of rare natural gifts and exceptional training. Nashville, Richmond, Atlanta and Louisville, no less than Boston and New York, London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna, have paid willing tribute to his art. He sings with equal facility in English, French, German and Italian, and interprets with rare understanding the classics of the great composers. One is not surprised to learn, however, that it is Hayes' rendering of the Negro spirituals that most completely wins the hearts of his auditors. Hayes is proud of the spirituals. To him they represent the very soul of his race—its patience, its faith, its hopefulness, its freedom from bitterness and hate. He counts it the mission of his life faithfully to interpret the spirit of those wonderful melodies, the unique contribution of his people to the musical art of the world. It is this sense of mission which has made Roland Hayen superior to his success. With a career that would have turned the head of any man possessed of selfish ambition, he has remained simple, unspoiled, modest and unassuming, devoting himself to what he considers his divinely-appointed task.

Cage has decided that the segregation law passed by the state legislature is legal and as a result Negroes are restrained from residing an Palmer Avenue, although the property in question has been occupied by them for the past twenty years.

My Making Good Wit It takes moral courage of no mean order to stand for principle and right where a minority is concerned and when by so doing means the espousal of an unpopular cause, the arousal of opposition from the strong and influential and the apparent impotence in securing practical and tangible results by such a stand. There has recently been a notable exhibition of this rare moral courage by a man of outstanding character and prominence which should not be permitted to pass unnoticed. Charles Edward Russell, noted publicist and author, recently resigned as a member of the Washington Chamber of Commerce as a protest against that influential body's honoring by testimonial dinner Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, superintendent of Buildings and Grounds in the National Capital. Colonel Sherrill, it has been alleged, and evidence has not been wanting to sustain the charge, has repeatedly insulted the colored citizens of Washington by going out of his way to force segregation upon them in every way possible. Mr. Russell was invited to speak at the dinner. Feeling that to do so would be an endorsement of Colonel Sherrill's position, he not only declined the invitation but resigned his membership in the Chamber. The following quotation from Mr. Russell's letter states his position most clearly: "Colonel Sherrill, by his deliberate course of contemptuous injustice toward the colored people of this city, took himself out of the category of public servants that merit any applause from their fellow men. Legally, constitutionally, and from every viewpoint of social welfare, the colored people are entitled to every right and privilege accorded to the white. Colonel Sherrill's defiance of this fundamental truth was so flagrant and therefore so injurious to the best interest of the community that I think the Washington Chamber of Commerce might be better engaged than in showing him honor. "I am unable to think, as I would be glad to think, that the Chamber of Commerce is unaware of the intolerable insult he put upon the colored people at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, of the means by which he deprived the colored people of a bathing beach while providing one for the white—of the gratuitous affront comprised in the insolent signs that segregated the colored people in Rock Creek Park; of the notoriously unfair treatment of the colored people that he enforced at the cafes in the public government buildings under his control. Your action in paying him this honor can be construed only as an endorsement of his course. It is not possible for me to retain membership in a body so oblivious to the foundation essentials of justice and equality. "I have, therefore, the honor to present my check for membership dues to July 1, 1926, and my resignation herewith." Here speaks a man of heroic mold and noble heart—too honest and courageous to compromise with wrong or to surrender justice to expediency. Ulterior motive has he none, for Charles Edward Russell is not a politician or candidate for office, nor does he seek anything from our people. As a lover of justice and right he speaks and acts, and in doing this has the approval of his conscience and his God, the profound gratitude of our people, and the admiration of the broad-minded men and women of his own race, who grasp the fundamental principles of true Americanism. Of course, there will be those who will think his action foolish and futile. But not so. His action, though now rare and isolated, will enhearten others here and there, similarly to protest against wrong and injustice when many are willing to temporize and compromise; not because they approve or lack convictions, but because they lack courage. We are grateful to Charles Edward Russell for his words and actions in protesting against insults to our people and at the same time we urge our people to so act and conduct themselves everywhere that friends of his type may be raised up to speak and act in our defense. Local Boy Making Good With Burches Ted Thrane, Omaha amateur third-baseman, is getting a lot of good publicity down at Orange, Tex., where he is in spring training with Omaha's entry in the Western league. Thrane, who played with Kellys Moonlighters here, is a candidate for filling O'Neill's job on the hot corner, and Manager Burch has given out the word that should the youngster keep up his present gait, he in sure to be a factor in Omaha's pennant race. Although Burch would not make a definite statement, it appears that Fred (Snake) Henry, late of New Orleans, a first baseman of the top water, would be field captain for the Buffaloes during 1926. Nearly all of the squad is in camp now and are showing an unusual amount of pep and spirit in their two daily workouts. Omaha opens the season at Wichita on April 13 and arrives home about two weeks later for their first series on the home lot. WINS PHI BETA KAPPA New York, N.

Good With Burches Although the Omaha team finished far down the list in 1925, this seems to have been forgotten and forgiven, and already fans are anxiously awaiting the opening game. Secretary Reis is with the club at Orange, but Business Manager Grotte gives out the word that great plans are in the making for opening day. Omaha is out to win the opening day trophy for the northern half of the loop. Omaha will see faster ball this season with the non-veteran rule in effect. More young blood has been injected into the team than ever before. Begin thinking and reading baseball now, and get yourself ready to attend the opening game—yes, Mayor Jim will be on the job—and every other game possible during the season, and remember Mr. Burch is promising and pledging better ball than last year. Next week we will try and give you some idea as to who will make up the Omaha squad for 1926. HOMETOWN HONORS FLOWERS Atlanta, Ga.—(By the Associated Negro Press) A brass band and a large delegation of the Gate City Lodge of Elks of which he is a member, were on hand to meet Tiger Flowers, newly-crowned middleweight champion of the world, when he arrived here last week from New York, the scene of his most recent battle. Bachelor-Benedict Club is Urged to Strive Towards High Ideals I Segre Indianapolis, Ind.—The case of Archie Greathouse against the Board of School Commissioners of the City of Indianapolis, in which the right to establish a segregated high school is being contested, has gone to the Supreme Court of the State, according to reports just received and made public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The National Office and the Indianapolis Branch of the Association, Bachelor-Benedict C to Strive T "If you would become successful in your club life, it is necessary for you to strive for high ideals," said Dr. J. H. Hutten, addressing the Bachelor-Benedict club Saturday evening at their club rooms. Today "the club" doesn't mean something to joke about, to visit surreptitiously as a refuge from the family, as a place where there are, under reasonable restrictions, more spacious surroundings, as much privacy as any one may elect to reserve for himself, but the clubs of today offer such congenial companionship as may be desired. Dr. Hutten told in a humorous fashion of his coming to Omaha. He related a story of an organization that started, as did the Benedict club, but later caught a vision of an insurance company, and because of that vision—the organization, that was once a social club, stands today as one of our MRS. F. F. PINKSTON PRESENTS PUPILS IN ANNUAL RECITAL An audience that taxed the seating capacity of Hillside Presbyterian church assembled last Thursday evening for the 10th annual demonstration and pianoforte recital by the pupils of Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston. The program opened by the reading from memory by Willa Hayes, the names and signatures of all the major and minor scales. After this, the pupils rendered their numbers in a manner that revealed careful and conscientious work on the part of teacher and pupil, from the beginners, whose ages are about 5 years on through the grades to the more advanced pupils. The contest pieces were skillfully rendered by the contestants, and the judges—Miss Edna M. Stratton, Karl Tunberg and Mrs. Florentine Pinkston—found it difficult to decide upon the winners. The prizes were awarded to Dorothy Allen and Sarah Brown. The recital, in point of accuracy, musicianship and poise, has not been surpassed in any previous recital. Many pupils exhibited unusual brilliancy and musicianship. The audience was attentive and appreciative. Much credit and commendation is due Mrs. Pinkston for her untiring efforts, in her valuable contribution to the cultural opportunities for our people and in developing the musical talent of our children. AFRICAN GETTING RITZY; AFRICAN SAVAGE CALLS FOR MEAT AND BOOKS London, England—(By the Associated Negro Press) The African savage, as beloved by the writers of the world's best sellers, is now no more. The African Negro of today is a semi-cultured, hard-working, and law-abiding citizen. No longer does he abduct white men and women, steal other people's cattle, and generally make war on civilization. This was revealed in a report published by the British Government on behalf of the local government of Kenya Colony, a British West African possession. "All the people, men and women, ape the white man," says the report. "One of the results of this is the increased demand for a meat diet and for education, especially by the women. Numerous requests have been made for the establishment of schools." has been contributing money and legal advice in this case where suit is being brought to restrain the City of Indianapolis from erecting a segregated high school. Heretofore there have been no such schools and the present action, now referred to the Indiana Supreme Court, is aimed to prevent the bringing of segregation into Northern and border States. The case is being fought by attorneys w. S. Henry, Robert L. Bailey and W. E. Henderson. Club is Urged Cowards High Ideals most successful enterprises. "You can do the same thing in Omaha, or any other city," said Dr. Hutten, "if you will but strive for high ideals and grasp the wonderful opportunity that presents itself in Omaha for commercial development." He closed his talk by announcing the candidacy of Dr. J. A. Singleton for state legislature, from the Ninth district. A resolution was passed to support Dr. Singleton in his efforts. L. C. Broomfield, in charge of the program, reviewed the history of the club. A. Kemper sang a solo. Dr. J. A. Singleton introduced the speaker. The balance of the evening was spent at whist. President J. O. Woods won the first prize; H. A. Bentleyy, secretary of the club, won second prize. At midnight a "dutch luncheon" was served. The membership voiced their approval of the evening, and expressed a desire to have a "stag" once a month. PICKENS ELECTRIFIES INDIANAPOLIS BAR ASSN. Indianapolis, Ind., Maar.—(A.P.)—For the first time in the history of the Indianapolis Bar association, a Negro was selected to deliver the Lincoln Memorial address. Dean William Pickens was the selection. This association has the custom of holding at its February meeting some appropriate observance of the memory of the emancipator. Mr. Pickens confined himself to history and steered clear of dangerous conclusions. He said: "No man of the ancient or the modern world has a securer place in the hearts and memories of men than this man Lincoln, who was born in obscurity, who died in a halo, and who now rests in an aureola of historic glory." This climax was reached by smooth advances and milder compliments such as "He was the justification for democracy and the first son of the plains to grace the presidential chair." He quoted the inscription on the medal sent Mrs. Lincoln by the French: "He saved the union without veiling the Statue of Liberty." ATLANTA UNIVERSITY TEACHER VISITS CITY Prof. George A. Towns, who has been a teacher at Atlanta university for 25 years and who is making a tour of the country in the interest of that excellent institution, arrived in the city Friday morning and was the guest while here of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Smith, 2511 North Twenty-first street, Mrs. Smith having been one of his pupils at Atlanta university, Atlanta being her birthplace. Professor Towns graduated from Harvard university in the class of 1900 and has devoted his life to teaching. He visited quite a number of Harvard alumni and other citizens while here. He left Wednesday for St. Paul, Minn. BOLTON CLIMBS LADDER Jacksonville, Fla.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Lemuel D. Bolton, who for the past three years has been editor of the Florida Sentinel, of the colored department of the Jacksonville Journal, the white afternoon daily, succeeding the late Prof. W. I. Lewis.

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." PAGE TWO Our Choice for President in 1928 is WALTER W. HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man CONGRATULATIONS, HOWARD KENNEDY! THE Monitor extends congratulations to Howard Kennedy school for winning the Omaha Grade School basket ball championship. It is rather noteworthy that for several years now the city championship in various athletic contests have been won by the schools with a large colored enrollment and consequently with a large representation on the various teams. West Side, which contended with Howard Kennedy in the finals, was composed, as was Howard Kennedy's, of five colored and one white player. In these interscholastic contests the best of good feeling prevails and every team goes out to win for its respective school. This is competition and sportsmanship of the right kind. "FOUL AND FAIR" WHEN we look at certain sections of our city within a two-mile radius of the Postoffice, we are tempted to paraphrase a sentence from Macbeth: "So-foul and fair a (city) I have never seen." Some sections are beautiful and a credit to our city. Others are unsightly and a disgrace to any city that lays claim to any civic pride. Tumbled-down shacks, guiltless of paint; rubbish-heaped lots; unpaved streets and almost impassable sidewalks, exist in the heart of the city, almost. A little beyond these unsightly districts, found here and there, are beautiful reidence and business districts, but in reaching these the visitor has to pass through these "foul" sections, before reaching the "fair." This is a bad advertisement for Omaha. Let our city commissioners get busy and see to it that these "foul" sections are improved and made "fair". NO MAKESHIFT PLAY- GROUND. WE heard the other day, but have not been able to verify the rumor, that it is proposed to partially equip the Municipal Playground at Twenty- first and Paul streets, with some apparatus that "will do for the present." We have not conferred with Park Commissioner Hummel and so cannot speak with any certainty until we have. But assuming that there is some truth in the rumor, The Monitor desires to go on record as being absolutely equipped to any makeshift methods. This playground should be thoroughly equipped and beautified for the children of this section or abandoned. We believe further that the houses on Paul street owned by Whalen should be acquired and moved off Pleasant Green Baptist church and the entire plot used for the playground. This is one of the neglected sections of the city, concerning which the sentiment seems to be "any old thing will, do." Here is a chance for the city to improve, beautify and utilize. Make this playground what it should be or abandon it. DOING ONE'S BEST. WHATEVER one has to do he should always determine to do his best. No one should be satisfied in simply trying to get by. Thoroughness is the thing that counts. Many fail to do worthwhile things or to make any progress in life because they are too easily satisfied. Mediocrity is permitted to push out proficiency. We wonder if this is not one of the weaknesses from which our group, taken as a whole, suffers. What do you think about it? COLORED ARTIST SHOWS WORK New York, N. Y.—(By the Associated Negro Press) Prominent among the displays in exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists which opened Thursday in the Waldorf-Astoria hotel were two portraits by O. Richard Reid, a colored member of the society. The portraits are of Fannie Hurst, Jewish short story writer and novelist, and of Lester Walton, contributor of the New York World. Mr. Reid worked his way through the Pennsylvania School of Fine Arts as a hotel waiter and porter. He is twenty-eight years old, and was born in Jacksonville, Florida. Wilmington, N. C.—(By the Associated Negro Press) A request by the colored chamber of commerce in the interest of the colored citizens for the use of the public library has been denied by the city council. The request came like a bolt from the blue, taking the members of the council completely by surprise since there had been no intimation that colored persons had ever considered use of the library. The mayor tried to explain that he didn't know whether the city owned the library or a society which had founded it, saying that the records would have to be searched. He suggested that Negroes start soon to "roll their own."

Colorado Springs, Colo.—Historical fiction of the Wild West appears to have exaggerated the number of sanguinary attacks by Indians upon immigrant trains along the old Oregon trail. Nature, and not the aborigines, furnished most of the dangers encountered by the ploneers. These conclusions have been reached by Prof. Archer H. Hulbert, director of the commission on western history, who has just completed the task of mapping six of the most famous old trails from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast. In a space of forty miles along the Carson river on the trail broken by the forty-niners, 4,000 dead cattle and 3,000 abandoned wagons were left to record the history of the hardships they suffered in the trek for gold. Miners built houses of these wagon wrecks in the houses of the Comstock lode discovery in Nevada a decade later. Great rivers were not difficult to cross when "flats" or rafts were secured, but the thousands of little "cut-bank" creeks not more than ten feet wide were the daily terror of the teamsters and delayed the caravans more than did the few rivers of width. Trappers and gold hunters suffered from Indian attacks more than did the great immigrant trains in the era of mass migration to Oregon. Between 1842 and 1850 the number of trains that were seriously molested by the red men were few, the investigators found. Information used in the survey and map making was obtained from state and county surveyors' offices, from the original surveys in the general land office at Washington and by studying the diaries of 150 old-time travelers and pioneers. In addition to the Oregon trail the map reproduces the routes of the Mormon trail fork from Omaha to Fort Laramie; the Nebraska City-Fort Kearney branch; the California trail from Yale post office, Idaho, to the coast; the Salt Lake branch of the California trail; the Forty-niners' trail on Raft river in northwestern Utah; the Salt Lake-Placeville route, and the Overland Stage branch of the main trail from Julesburg, Colo., to Salt Lake City.

New Universe Pictured by Savant and Measured Chicago.—Another universe, similar to our own, but inconceivably distant in space, has been photographed and measured by Dr. Edwin Hubble, he relates in the Astro-Physical Journal of the University of Chicago. It is 66,000,872 billion miles from the earth to the galaxy of stars which compose the other universe. From observations made at Mount Wilson observatory, in California, the scientist has reduced to measurement the universe which was first seen in 1884. Expressing its distance from the earth as 700,000 light years, he estimates the galaxy measures 4,000 light years across. Photographs taken with light which left the universe thousands of years ago show it to be a system of stars similar in appearance to the familiar milky way.
