"MOVE" ,----IS COMMAND ON A BRICK LIFTING LIFT T $2.00 a Year STARCH AND STIFFEN BACKBONE, ADVISES PROMINENT WOMAN Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington Delivers Instructive Address Here to Appreciative Audience HER FIRST VISIT TO NEBRASKA Noted Lecturer and Prominent Social Worker Tells of Colored Woman's Contributions to Country and Race Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, D. C., widow of the late Judge Terrell, and former president of the National Federation of Colored Women, noted educator and speaker and one of the outstanding women of the race, delivered an instructive, thought-compelling and practical address Monday night, to an appreciative audience in St. John's A. M. E. church, Twenty-second and Willis avenue, under the joint auspices of the Autumn Leaf and Willing Workers clubs of the church. Mrs. Terrell's subject was "What the Colored Woman Has Done for Her Country and Race." The cultured speaker rapidly sketched the difficulties which confronted the colored woman not only during the period of slavery, but subsequently and showed how they had been heroically met and overcome. Not only did she have to meet the sex-handicap, which her white sister had to meet, but also the added handicap of race. But in spite of all privations which the colored women had endured by her achievements in various fields she has settled the question of her capacity and worth. She gave concrete illustrations of women's work in the home, schools, institutions, art, literature and industries and pointed out specific spheres and places where women have and can improve the status and conditions of the race and earnestly pleaded that the more favored women should recognize their responsibility to the less fortunate. The speaker urged her audience to value as priceless gifts the spirit of hope and the ability to smile and sing even in the time of adversity which Almighty God has bestowed upon the Negro race, face facts and remedy them, thoroughly prepare for the work desired and to keep hammering away at the door of opportunity until it is opened. "Stiffen your backbone, put more starch in your backbone and keep moving forward," was her parting admonition. Preceeding Mrs. Terrell's address, Miss Belle Ryan, assistant superintendent of the Omaha public schools, read an interesting sketch of Mrs. Terrell's career; Azalia Garrett, a high school girl, welcomed the speaker on behalf of girls; Mrs. Irene Cochran Morton rendered a vocal selection. Rev. Mary E. Palmer, in a brief and befitting original poem, gracefully introduced the speaker, Miss Edna M. Stratton, secretary of the North Side branch of the Y. W. C. A., was mistress of ceremonies. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Terrell delivered an address to about 70 women at the North Side "Y", which was highly appreciated. This was Mrs. Terrell's first visit to Nebraska and she left Thursday afternoon for Lincoln, expressing herself as being most favorably impressed with Omaha. She came from Des Moines, where she was the guest or honor at the twentieth anniversary of the Mary Church Terrell club of that city and spoke before the Chamber of Commerce and the high schools. MAKE TEACHERS HIDE KNEES Newport, Ky.—After much protest from a mothers' club, the school board of the city has ordered that teachers in the local schools must keep their skirts within 11 inches of the floor, this being felt to be sufficient to keep their knees covered and must wear sleeves that cover their elbows. THE MONITOR RELIGIOUS LLEADERS REFUSE SEGREGATION Pass Resolution Not to Enter Annual Sunday School Meet in South, Only to Be "Jim-Crowed." Nashville, Tenn.—Determined to make a firm stand against segregation, national Negro religious leaders announced that colored citizens would not participate in the International Sunday School convention to be held in Birmingham, Ala., April 12 to 18. Race leaders took exception to the passage of a resolution by the commission of Birmingham, which provides that colored persons would be segregated from the whites in the Municipal Auditorium when the convention meets. A resolution adopted at a meeting of the Negro spokesmen said: "We recommend all our people remain away from the Birmingham session of the International Council, and have nothing to do with the particular session of the council. The deciding factor in coming to this conclusion was the fact that we learned there was no city ordinance demanding segregation at the auditorium until after our meeting of Febr. 8, and we felt a gross injustice had been done our entire people." AMERICAN NEGRO ENTERS LITERATURE New York—Writing under the title, "The American Negro Enters Literature," Jim Tully in the March number of the Literary Digest International Book Review, notices a number of new books either written by or about Negroes. Of "The New Negro," edited by Alain L. Locke, Mr. Tully says: "It is a direct challenge to the young white writers of the nation. In it are more than two dozen names of Negro authors, many of them showing splendid promise." Of Countee Cullen, whose book of poems, "Color," is reviewed, Mr. Tully writes: "If there is a more promising poet in America, I do not know his name." Mr. Tully names, among other books by Negroes: Jean Toomer's "Cane," which he calls "a string of uneven pearls"; Jessie R. Fauset's "There Is Confusion" and Walter White's "The Fire in the Flint," of which Mr. Tully writes: "White is a master of emotion and pathos, that rarest of combinations when the heart is hot." A book by a white man with a Negro theme, "Norgy," by Du Bose Heyward, also comes in for praise. SEGREGATION CASE GOES TO SUPREME COURT New Orleans—Contest over the validity of the city's segregation ordinance was carried to the United States supreme court when the Land Development company obtained a temporary injunction restraining enforcement of the measure in regard to a Palmer avenue house, in which it is alleged that Negroes have occupied the double residence in question for a period of 20 years, and that they could not be prevented by the city from continuing to reside in its petition that it is being deprived of its property without due process of law, inviolation of the Fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. Judge Burns has directed the city to show cause why the enforcement of the ordinance should not be permanently enjoined. VETERAN RETIRED WITH HONORS Fort Denning, Ga.—Master Sergeant William Washington of the 24th United States Infantry, stationed here, was retired March 11, after completing the equivalent of thirty years' service. He is the possessor of eight discharge certificates, seven of which are excellent character references and one, very good. He was congratulated by officers of the regiment in general orders issued, announcing his retirement for "satety application to duty and fidelity and good service." Sergeant Washington was born at Union Point, Georgia. He will enter civil life at Gary, Indiana. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1926 EDITORIAL Is Omaha to have a Doctor Sweet case? We sincerely hope not. Indeed, we believe that we will not have, and we think we have valid reasons for this belief. It is not because Omaha lacks the potentialities or the possibilities of such a case, for there are the same elements here and the same general conditions here—although not so acute—as have issued in serious trouble and loss of life in Detroit, Mich., and several other American cities. Let there be no delusion upon this poin. What has happened elsewhere can and may happen here. There exists here, as elsewhere, an opinion that citizens of the colored race should be restricted to certain localities. The realtors have a definite understanding among themselves that there are certain districts in which they will not sell to Negroes. The presence of our people, no matter how respectable, cultured and well-to-do they may be, is resented in many neighborhoods. This resentment has been frequently shown, but efforts to drive them out by violence have not yet been resorted to, and as soon as the first flurry of excitement has subsided the neighborhood has accepted these unwelcome "intruders" (?) in a sensible, neighborly spirit, finding them minding their own business and maintaining their property up to the standard of the community. But that there may be resort to violence is not impossible nor improbable, although, as we have before stated, we believe it improbable, and for this reason: We sincerely hope not.

The Jennings' case has its lesson for our own people and for all the citizens of Omaha. It must not be considered lightly. It sounds a note of warning that should be heeded by all. Let us not live thoughtlessly or contentedly in a Fools' Paradise. The business interests of Omaha cannot afford the unsavory advertising a racial residential conflict, such as this may presage, would give us. We are still paying the debt in financial depression, lowered self-respect and debased spiritual ideals of the mob of September, 1919. The time to stop an evil is before it starts, not after it gets under way. Let us heed the warning of this incident and stop the malady, this symptom indicates, before it spreads. It is up to the authorities to see that it does not spread and it's up to us to do our part by standing our ground, remembering that the frightened rabbit invites and encourages the pursuit of the hound. BOY PRESIDENT OF HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION New York, N. Y.—David Myers, a colored student at Stuyvesant High school of this city, has been elected president of the general organization of the school, winning by an overwhelming majority of the students' votes. Mr. Myers has been ever active in the affairs of the school, having been for two years a member of the football team, a member of the track team, one of the best javelin throwers that the school has had for long time and a shot-putter, as well as a member of the relay team. FUND TO MEMORIALIZE WHITE MAYOR, PLANNED New Orleans, La.—Plans have been made by prominent Negroes to raise ten thousand dollars as a contribution from colored citizens of New Orleans as their contribution to the Dehrman Memorial Fund as an appreciation to the late mayor whom they regarded as the best friend the Negro had in the south. C. W. Taylor, editor of The Louisiana Weekly, is one of the prime movers in the affair.

Whole Number 554 SOUTHERN WOMEN DEMAND ANTI-LYNCHING LAW Conscience of Mississippi Stirred in Behalf of Justice; Inter-Racial Leaders Encouraged. Jackson, Miss.—Thousands of Mississippi's white women have gone on record publicly against lynching, and 3,000 of the number have signed a petition asking the legislature to enact more stringent laws against it, as a result of a tour of the state by Mrs. Maud Henderson, of the Commission of Inter-Racial Co-Operation. Mrs. Henderson visited 20 cities and spoke from one to three times a day to selected groups representing the best leadership of the several communities. In a number of cities the desire was expressed for the immediate organization of women's inter-racial committees and the inauguration of a program of co-operation. Every girls' college in the state was visited with one exception, and the students were found to be keenly interested and responsive. At Columbus, Mrs. Henderson addressed the 1,200 students of the State College for Women, with the result that the student body voted approval of the anti-lynching resolutions and several hundred personally signed the petition. Members of the inter-racial committee are greatly pleased with the result of the tour and are planning to follow it up actively. They are much encouraged by the wide interest recently manifested in Mississippi in the suppression of mob violence and the betterment of race relations generally. JIM CROW BILL IS SIDE TRACKED IN VIRGINIA Was Aimed at Hampton Institute to Separate the Races at Public Concerts. MARRIAGES ALSO AFFECTED Richmond, Va.—Whatever the outcome it seems as though the general assembly of Virgina which last Tuesday passed the anti-Hampton measures calling for separate seating of white and colored, is not going to get itself mixed up on the integrity of the races residing in the confines of this noble state. The bill was ordered postponed indefinitely, after a motion to reconsider had been rejected. If passed and signed by the governor, it would have forced the registration of persons according to their race and made it a felony for persons to marry any having some trace of mixed blood far back in their history. The Massenburge bill is aimed against Hampton Institute and intends to inaugurate compulsory separation of the races at public concerts given by the school. The movement to have the bill introduced is said to have originated with John Powell, a white pianist, who had sought to establish a musical reputation for himself in southern Virginia. His efforts, however, were eclipsed by those of organizations fostered by R. Nathaniel Dett, Hampton's music master and a pianist and composer of national reputation. It is said that the issue was first brought to a point when Colonel Copeland, editor of the Newport News Star, attended a public concert at Hampton and found that he and his wife were forced to sit in a section of Ogden Hall where there were colored persons. Copeland's wife is reported to be related to Powell. This latter gentleman, smarting under the humiliation of Dett's ascendancy, is believed to have contrived and conspired with Copeland to use the latter's newspaper to propagandize and create sentiment against Hampton. The passage of the Massenburg measure which he, as the delegate from Hampton admitted he pressed to a vote "to get the folks at home off my back," indicates the success Powell and Copeland had. A motion to postpone the measure indefinitely was adopted by a vote of 20 to 9. Mrs. M. L. Todd was reported indisposed several days this week. GROWING THANK YOU! Vol. XI.—No. 36 BRICK BRICKS ARE HURLED THROUGH WINDOWS OF JENNINGS HOME Presence of Colored Family in Middle Class Neighborhood Believed to Have Aroused Resentment FIRST EVENT OF KIND IN CITY Police Seeking Culprits and Promise Protection to Victims of Outrage Who Express Determination Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jennings, who for some time previous had resided at 1518 North Twenty-fifth street, moved into a larger house at 2601 Emmett street. The neighborhood into which they moved differs little from that in which they formerly lived for it is a very ordinary community, occupied by the average industrious midde class, the modest but attractive homes representing probably an average value of $3,500. There is one other colored resident on this street in this immediate vicinity, and also there are three or four other colored families who are homeowners, within a stone's throw of the Jennings home. Sunday afternoon Mr. Jennings noticed three or four small boys fooling around the porch and finally went out to see what they were doing. The boys ran, but a little girl said, "Look, mister, there's where the boys wrote on your house." He saw chalked on the side of the house, "K. K. K." This did not disturb him, as he regarded it merely as a boyish trick, but casually remarked to his wife, "I wonder if those else?" Mr. and Mrs. Jennings, whose bed room is on the first floor, just off the front room, retired about 11 p.m. At 12:30 they were startled by a noise which sounded like the house was being wrecked. They jumped out of bed to find the front room strewed with glass, gaping holes in the front room windows and the missiles which had wrought the damage lying on the floor. They consisted of a brick bat to which was tied an envelope, on which was written the one word, "Move," and two pieces of concrete about the size of the brick. Mrs. Jennings said, "You cannot imagine how frightful it sounded. I can't describe it to you. I said to Clarence, 'Oh, my, they are wrecking the house, what shall we do?' But hearing no further noise we flashed on the light and went into the parlor and the sight that met our eyes was glass and rocks. We called the police who responded promptly and were as nice as they could be. You see there are three sections to the front window, the large one in the center and the two smaller ones on the side. As there was only the one crash, and rocks went through all three top panes there must have been at least three persons who said "One, two, three, go." Both Mr. Jennings and his wife spoke in the highest praise of the police officers who responded to their call and of the detectives who came later in the day checking up and seeking clues as to the perpetrators of the deed, and assuring them of protection. The Jennings have resided in Omaha for nearly eleven years and Mr. Jennings has been employed steadily for nine years at the American Smelting and Refining Works. They are members of St. John's A. M. E. church and highly respected. They have no intention of moving. The Omaha branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has promptly tendered its services to help in any way it can and is carefully watching the outcome. No further trouble, however, is anticipated. The D. D. girls held a social hour, Tuesday evening, March 16, at the home of Miss Grace Dorsey, 3717 Parker street, as a farewell to their beloved president, who has left for the east on an indefinite stay.

Our Choice for President in 1928 is WALTER W. HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man THE Monitor is opposed to the employment of a school manager. We believe that any functions he may be assigned are or can be successfully managed by the present superintendent of buildings, Duncan M. Finlayson, who has been serving in that capacity for twenty-five years. It has been announced that the Board of Education has not enough money to finance the summer schools which have been growing in favor for many years and have proven very beneficial to a large number of students. Pupils who desire to attend summer school must pay from $10 to $18 for the eight weeks' summer school, according to the number of studies carried, because funds are short and yet in the face of this fact, the Board has the unconscionable effrontery to want to employ a school manager at $10,000 per annum and an assistant at $7,000. Cut out the school manager and use the money that would be squandered by employing him and his assistant in financing the summer school. It is outrageous to demand that an extra fee of from $10 to $18 be paid for pupils attending summer school. What is the matter with Omaha's Board of Education anyway? ONE of the most prolific sources of evil is gossip. It separates and estranges friends, breaks up families, wrecks business, bankrupts character and raises the devil generally. Only empty-headed people gossip. They who have their minds filled with worth while knowledge find better employment than indulging in gossip. HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND? HOW much do you spend with legitimate business enterprises which are being conducted by our people? When you need a taxi, for example, whom do you call? When you need a pair of socks or suspenders, a handkerchief, a necktie, a shirt, a spool of thread or some like necessity, where do you make such purchases? THE NEGRO'S CONTRIB A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedom 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."

OMAHA has been graced for a few days with the presence of one of the most outstanding women of the race in the person of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and yet comparatively few knew of her presence. No mention was made of her in the daily press. Whose fault was it? In Des Moines, Iowa, one of the leading dailies had an editorial about her and she was invited to address the high schools of that city and also the Chamber of Commerce. In Lincoln, Neb., she has been invited to address the students of the State university. Why this difference? Did somebody blunder? GET BUSY IF we are to have teachers appointed by a reluctant superintendent and school board this year, it is none too early to make our demands known. Team work and a united stand will get the recognition we ought to have on the teaching corps and in other departments. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Oakland, Cal.-At the invitation of a professor and students of the department of political science, A. Philip Randolph, editor of The Messenger, and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters, spoke on the subject of the "Black and White Workers of America," at the University of California, March 2. Mr. Randolph pointed out that the modern world made it imperative that the Booker T. Washington doctrine of industrial education for the Negro be supplemented, and re-enforced by the doctrine of industrial organization as expressed through the movement to organize the Pullman porters. He maintained that the notorious St. Louis riot was not racial, but economic. He expressed great hope for the economical future of the Negro and for better relations between the black and white workers as the Negro workers become a more active factor in the American trade union movement. Many questions were asked by the students and professors. Great interest was shown in Mr. Randolph' advocacy of the abolition of the tipping system and for a living wage for the Pullman porters with a view to preserve their manhood and self-respect. Mr. A. Stewart, 1809 North 24th street, who has been ill, is able to be out again.

YOUNG SPONSORED BY OMEGAS The Omega Phi Psi fraternity, by edict from their national organization, sponsors the placing of a monument over the grace of the late Col. Charles Young, in Arlington cemetery. Hundreds of visitors to Washington make a pilgrimage to the grave of Colonel Young. The Associated Negro Press has been asked by scores to urge the erection of a suitable monument. The subject has been discussed much, but it has remained for Omega, which organization keeps fresh the memory of the colonel, to definitely to seek to raise funds for a monument. Major West Hamilton of the Washington Sentinel, leading Omega, will conduct the raising of $2,500 necessary. The public is invited to join the fraternity. March 10 was the birthday of Colonel Yousg. TWENTY-ONE ST. LOUIS GROUPS BAR NEGROES A concerted effort by 21 organizations in the city of St. Louis, to establish exclusion of Negroes from residential districts with definitely fixed boundaries, is being met by the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has organized a special committee to obtain members, and raise funds to meet emergencies as they may arise. James H. Tanter, secretary of the St. Louis branch, writes to the national office of the association in New York: "There has been instituted propaganda to prevent the Negroes from occupying premises in certain localities in St. Louis. Boundaries have been formed and a perfect organized effort has been established to accomplish these aims of the white real estate agents. Twenty-one organizations have banded themselves with well-laid plans to keep Negroes from purchasing or renting houses only in the localities they have selected for them. This organization is composed of real estate men, merchants and business men of every profession. "The agreement as laid out, or in other words, the constitution of the organization, is in our hands. . . . The executive committee (of the branch) has authorized a committee and that committee has worked out a plan to comb the city for membership and defense funds to be used as emergency arises. . . . We have something like 30 organizations. All are willingly desirous of working with the association's branch." "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LIBRARY" IS DEDICATED Atlantic City, N.
