Secretary Hans Reis of the Omaha Western League team has announced that all plans for the opening day ceremonies of the Western League have been completed and that the officials are now sitting back waiting for game time Tuesday afternoon, April 27, at 3 o'clock. The plans include usual parade of both local and visiting teams and officials around the infield and to the flagstaff for the customary flag-raising; the customary tossing of the first ball by "Hizzoner," Mayor Dahlman, to Bald-Headed Izzie of the "Witches," who are the visiting players. And in addition to these a real surprise has been arranged for the fans who are loyal enough to attend the opening game. The international chief of the Elks and his staff will attend the game and local Elks have reserved a whole section of the grandstand for the local lodge. The packing companies have arranged for a flock of seats and will give out the usual hams for the first hits Tuesday. All amateur teams of the city are also planning on attending the game in a body. Omaha has great hopes of winning the Opening Day attendance trophy and has a dandy chance of doing so, because all other openings to-date have been played to small crowds. Remember the time of the game is 3 o'clock, and you are wanted to be present Box seats are now on sale at the City National cigar store. Socialist Leader Introduces New Anti-Lynching Bill Washington, D. C.—Claiming that the anti-lynching plank in the, Republican platform of 1924 had served its purpose when it attracted sufficient Negro votes to insure Republican success at the polls and that administration leaders were shamelessly letting it go by now, Representative Victor Berger, socialist from Milwaukee, Wis., introduced a new anti-lynching bill into Congress Friday, framed with an idea of avoiding the legal technicalities raised against the Dyer bill and providing for the action of the federal government particularly in cases where it appeared the state government was not going to act. This feature of the bill meets the issue of state's rights. Individuals who take part in lynchings under the bill would be liable to imprisonment of from one to five years and a fine of $5,000. Officials who are derelict in their duty in protecting prisoners would be liable to 10 years' imprisonment and a fine of $10,000. Victor Berger has been one of the most discussed members of Congress. During the war he was ejected from the body, but was later sent back by a constituency which has always upheld him. Houston, Tex.—Miss Marguerite Pennybacker, formerly connected with the Y. W. C. A. here, and at present working with the Bethelhem Center at Nashville, Tenn., has been awarded a fellowship in Columbia leading to her master's degree. She will begin her studies next September. Miss Pennybacker is a graduate in vocal music from Fiske, and also holds a bachelor's degree from that institution. Philadelphia, Pa.—Attorney G. Edward Dickerson has announced his candidacy for congress from the First District, now represented by W. S. Vane, white. His platform contains proportional representation, enforcement of all constitutional amendments and the abolition of lynching. About 40 per cent of the voters in the district are Black Americans. AUGUSTA VOTES SEWERS Augusta, Ga.-The City Council of Augusta has just authorized extensive additions to the sewerage system, which will greatly improve the sanitary conditions of the southern section of the city in which live most of the colored population. The project was initiated and carried to success through the efforts of the local interracial committee, composed of a number of leading citizens of both races. Hon. George Barrett, prominent lawyer, heads the white section of the committee, and Miss Lucy Laney, principal of Haines Institute, is chairman of the colored section. Commenting editorially on the enterprise, the Augusta Chronicle says, "It is of importance not only to the community immediately interested, to but the whole city, since the people of all Augusta are interested in and affected by the welfare and health of the colored population." THE MONITOR COURAGEOUS GEORGIAN URGES REPEAL OF SOUTH'S "JIM CROW" CAR LAW Birmingham, Ala.—A strikingly bold stand was taken by Dr. Will W. Alexander, white Georgian, and one of the secretaries of the Federal Council of Churches, in an address before young white men and women, gathered here from all sections of this country and Canada, when he spoke out fearlessly against the "Jim Crow" law of the South and demanded its repeal in the name of justice to all parties concerned. "The majority population, the white, in the South," emphasized Dr. Alexander, has decided how the minority, the blacks, should travel, but it is unjust for this majority to force Negroes to ride in such dangerous places as the front coaches of trains; it is inconvenient and unfair for Negroes not to have Pullman car and smoking car privileges on southern trains. The Negro should have more freedom and greater opportunity in the matter of travel, education, housing conditions and more justice in the courts." The courts of the South do not find white men guilty of crime upon the testimony of Negroes, he pointed out, and added that a "country which does not protect every individual by law will ultimately become an unsafe country to live in. He played throughout his talk so-called white supremacy over Negroes. LINCOLN NOTES Robert Hammond, 48, was instantly killed in a fall down an elevator shaft while at work on the new Cornhusker Hotel last Wednesday, at 9:30 a.m. Some mistake in signals was given as the cause. The body was removed ti Lincoln Sanitarium, where it was pronounced lifeless by attending physicians and was then removed to the undertaker's parlor. The fall was seven stories, the body being badly mangled and broken. He leaves as survivors a wife and eight children as follows: Lucile Hugbard, Thela Ruth, Edward, Edwin, Raymond, William of Lincoln, John of Chicago; a mother, sister and uncle of Texas; mother-in-law, Mrs. Lucy Folling. Mr. Hammond had been a resident of Lincoln since 1914, and was known as an industrious man. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, and were largely attended by relatives and friends. Rev. H. W. Bolts officiated, assisted by Rev. M. C. Knight et Quinn Chapel. Our sympathy goes out for the bereaved wife and family. L. J. Allen was called to his home in Enid, Okla., last week on account of his mother's serious illness. Mrs. Canada of Denver, Colo., was in the city last week to visit her sister, Mrs. Mary Nichols, who was very ill. Mrs. E. Ratley of Denver, Colo., arrived in the city last week to care for her sick daughter, Mrs. Mary Nichols. Eugene Nichols was summoned from Washington, D. C., on account of his mother's serious illness, but death came to her early Sunday morning, before his arrival. Mrs. Fanny Young is reported able to be up and around home. Mrs. Mary Elizabeth, wife of Mr. David E. Nichols, passed away at their home, 2951 Starr street, Sunday at 1:10 a. m. Mrs. Nichols had recently undergone an operation for a goiter and had not been herself since, but had borne up well under circumstances. She had been a resident of Lincoln many years. She is survived by a husband, a son, Eugene; a mother, Mrs. E. Ratley; three sisters, of Denver, Colo.; a brother, of Detroit, Mich. The funeral was held at the home Tuesday, at 2 o'clock. The Rev. John Albert Williams of Omaha officiated. The husband and family have our heartfelt sympathy.

Whole Number 557. DRINKWATER CITES DUNBAR IN SOUTHERN GIRLS' COLLEGE , "The Gossip Shop" section of the March number of "The Bookman" contains the following suggestive item: "Recently John Drinkwater blazed a brilliant lecture trail through the south in the course of which he filled an engagement at one of the oldest and most conservative colleges for girls. This school is located in the Black Belt, so called because for generations, until the recent exodus of Negroes for Detroit and way stations, the census showed that eight out of every ten inhabitants were colored. The two whites and their descendants feel that they have to keep a stiff upper lip and practice segregation even to their mental associates. Drinkwater's lecture on "Some Aspects of Modern Drama," illustrated by passages from his plays, was most enthusiastically received by faculty and students. He was prevailed upon to make an impromptu talk to the English classes on poetry and to read some of his most famous verse. The girls were simply spellbound. Hoping to break the ice, Drinkwater suggested, "Name me some of your southern poets." But those students, who were familiar with Poe and Father Ryan and Hayne and Lanier—some of their blood-kin to Lanier!—sat there dumb with awe of the great Englishman. So Drinkwater said, "I'll start you off with one of your best, Paul Laurence Dunbar. The ice he was seeking to break congealed afresh. If he had gone on, as well he might, to cite them Countee Cullen, the hot water pipes might have frozen and burst." Push "Guide Right" Week. Chicago—Several thousand members of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity are taking an active part in making "Guide Right Week," sponsored by the fraternity, a success. By radio, sermons, conferences, and meetings, they are putting into play the Guide Right machinery during this week. The slogan of the movement is "The Right Man for the Right Job" and the purpose is to influence high school students to go to college and prepare themselves for the trade or profession for which they are best fitted. Some very astounding facts were uncovered by a committee of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity which investigated the industrial status of the Negro. Very few Negroes were found in the fields of manufacturing, commerce and the higher arts and professions. Today the race boasts only of a few thousand lawyers, doctors, ministers, and teachers—plenty of poolroom keepers, an ocean of peonage serfs—with a mere sprinkling of banks and small commercial enterprises. God has given the race many talents, yet we are 95 per cent strong in the common labor group of the nation's wage-earners. Monument for Negro. Vancouver, Can.—Within 12 minutes the Kiwanis club of this city raised $1,200 of a fund of $50,000 to erect a monument to Joe Fortes, colored, who during his 36 years' residence at English Bay taught scores of children to swim, saved the lives of 22, and rescued hundreds of others before they reached the drowning stage. Continuous exposure to all kinds of weather broke his health, and he died in 1922. When interviewed by the Associated Negro Press, a leading Kiwanian said: "British Columbia will not allow the memory of Joe Fortes' life of self-sacrifice to pass. He was a man." Philadelphia Makes Race Bank City Depositry Philadelphia—By ordinane passed by the City Council and signed by Mayor Kendrick, the City of Philadelphia has designated the Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust company, of which Major R. R. Wright is president, as a regular depository for the city and county's funds. Charles B. Hall, president of the City Council, introduced the resolution. As soon as the mayor signed it the city treasury drew a check for $10,000 as the initial deposit. This is the first time in the history of Pennsylvania, or the east, that a race bank has been approved as a government depository. The stockholders were elated. One said. "If the great City of Philadelphia can draw money out of a white bank and put it into a colored bank, what ought colored organizations, churches, and individuals do in order to build a solid financial foundation for our people? The Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust company has a paid-in capital of $125,000 and surplus of $30,000 fully paid. Arthur McCaw spent Sunday in Lincoln. The Women's Auxiliary held a pleasant meeting at the home of Mrs. Sarah Lewis, 2818 Miami street last Thursday. GROWING THANK YOU! Vol. XI.—No. 40 COMMISSION URGES BETTER TREATMENT AMERICANS OF COLOR Meeting on Inter-Racial Co-Operation Gratified With Favorable Reports of Improving Conditions. SPECIFIC "NEEDS" STATED Better Railroad Accommodations and Fairer Distribution of School Funds Prominent Part of Program. Tuskegee Inst., Ala.—(A. N. P.)—The seventh annual meeting of the Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, which was held here, was the most numerously attended in the history of the movement, and, in the opinion of many, the best. Seventy-five members of the commission and staff were present from all parts of the South, besides more than a hundred visitors and members of the Tuskegee faculty. The reports from the field were very encouraging, indicating decided and general improvement, both in inter-racial conditions and attitudes. It was found that even the few unfavorable situations which developed within the year—such as the barber bill in Atlanta and the Hampton Institute bill in Virginia—served to stir up and solidify the friends of inter-racial justice rather than to work against the movement. The commission was especially gratified with the widespread anti-lynching campaign, as evidenced by the uprising of public sentiment in Mississippi, the cessation of lynching in Texas, the growing determination of sheriffs to protect their prisoners, and the universal condemnation of this crime voiced by the newspapers. Handsome medals just provided by the commission to be awarded to sheriffs who protect their prisoners from mobs were on exhibition for the first time, and a committee of prominent people is being created to award these medals to sheriffs who merit them. It was agreed that the crusade against lynching should be pushed in every way possible. The press was highly commended for its attitude on this subject and for its intelligent and sympathetic co-operation with the commission's program in general. Among the brightest spots in the three-day session was the hour devoted to student work. Four young college men and women told of the open-minded study of race relations that is being made by many students in southern colleges, and of the courageous efforts which these young people are making to apply the ethics of Jesus in their inter-racial attitudes and conduct. These efforts take the form of college courses, voluntary study groups, and inter-racial student forums and conferences. Thousands of the South's brightest students are being influenced by this movement. Among the specific needs emphasized and commended for special effort during the coming year were those of better railroad transportation, fuller Negro representation on public welfare boards, fairer distribution of school funds, improvement of the environment of Negro children, better cities, the encouragement in home owner-cities, the encouragement on home ownership and the effort to promote a fuller appreciation of Negro achievement and history. Colored Girl Wins Place on National Honor Roll Philadelphia—Ruth Wright, age 15, daughter of Dr. R. R. Wright, jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, was chosen as a member of the National Honor Society of High and Secondary Schools. Out of over 2,000 students of the West Philadelphia High School for Girls, only 24 were chosen for this honor, and one was a colored girl, Miss Wright. Paul Shock, the principal, said: "This is the highest honor that can be awarded a student in our school. It is given for superiority in character, scholarship, leadership and service." Makes Two Million on 15-Cent Capital New York—Watt Terry has attained the distinction of being the largest colored real estate owner in the Harlem section of New York city, besides owning a house in Brockton, Mass., and a summer home in Oak Bluffs, New York city. He got his start on 15 cents. Today his financial rating is in eycess of $2,000,000. Twenty years ago he arrived in Brockton, Mass., with 15 cents, and after doing many different jobs he was aided by the bank in buying a home. From that he made his fortune.

Our Choice for President in 1928 is WALTER W. HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man ANOTHER VOICE FOR RIGHT A few weeks ago a prominent and influential white Marylander publicly advocated the abolition of the iniquitous "Jim Crow" car laws of the South, clearly pointing out the injustice of the system. Another voice has been raised against this un-American institution, created for the sole purpose of humiliating and degrading the colored American. This time a courageous white Georgian speaks, in the person of Dr. Will W. Alexander, one of the secretaries of the Federal Council of Churches. Speaking in Birmingham, Ala., before a gathering of young white men and women, Dr. Alexander spoke out fearlessly against the 'Jim Crow' car law and urged its repeal. He, too pointed out the unfairness and injustice of this iniquitous institution which compels Negroes to pay first-class fare and accept inferior accommodations, in dirty, ill-kept coaches, being denied Pullman and dining car service, no matter how clean, intelligent, well-dressed and well-behaved the passenger may be Of course the "Jim Crow" car law is indefensible and must eventually go.

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."

No law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person real protection of the laws. earnest and sincere Christian white men and women of the South, of whom such men as Dr. Alexander are the forerunners, have courage to speak out and stand up for right, or when self-respecting Negroes, in numbers sufficiently large to make the falling off in passenger income felt, positively refuse to ride in "Jim Crow" cars, finding other means of conveyance, even though they have to forego the pleasure of travel. The law calls for "equal accommodations," but everyone knows "there ain't no sech animul" in any "Jim Crow" arrangements, anywhere, South or North. When arrangements are made "for colored" anywhere, those arrangements are always inferior to those made for other people. The railroads, operating in the South, should be compelled to obey the law and provide "equal accommodations," which means equal coaches, equal Pullman service and equal dining car service. It is, however, an encouraging sign to have now and then a voice from the dominant race crying in the wilderness against the "Jim Crow" system. POWER OF THE BOYCOTT. Some years ago in a city that for the present shall be nameless, it was rumored that the proprietor of a certain grocery store which had a large and well-paying colored trade, had participated in a movement of serious consequences inimical to colored people. Several persons who had accounts with the store paid up their accounts and discontinued their trade, frankly telling him why. Other patrons trans RD TO SUBSCRIBERS. require that for newspapers to subscriptions must be paid in, thirty days, is allowed for of this period, where sub- ferred their trade elsewhere. The man said, "My God, I'm ruined, what can I do to save my business?" Well, he had to sell out at a loss and move. Here was one case where the race wisely used the power of the boycott. They refused to spend their money with one whom it was alleged was actively unfriendly to them. Self respecting people will not spend their money with those who are either actively or secretly unfriendly or who insult them. The boycott is a powerful weapon. We will be respected more and accomplish much when we learn to use it wisely and effectively. The Tabern have the ordi of June. Mrs. Allie again. Miss Marde around again. Messrs.

The regular monthly meeting of the board of management was held at the North Side Branch Wednesday afternoon, April 14. Encouraging reports were made by all the committees. At a meeting of the executive board Saturday morning, April 17, Mrs. Estella Craig was selected to represent the North Side Branch at the Ninth National convention of the Young Women's Christian Association, to be held at Milwaukee, Wis., from April 21 to 27. Standing of contestants for this week is as follows: Mercedes Johnson, $6.35; Louise Scott, $2.00; Mercedes Ferguson, $1.40; Gladys Reynolds, none. Mrs. Estelle Craig, chairman of the committee of management of the North Side Branch, Young Women's Christian Association, left Tuesday evening, with the delegates from the Central Branch to attend the Ninth National Convention of the Young Women's Christian Associations of the United States of America which convenes in Milwaukee, Wis. April 21 to 27. On Friday evening, April 16, the seventh of the series of 10 lectures on "The History of the Negro," was given under direction of H. J. Pinkett. The topic discussed was "The African Slave Trade." The following sub-topics were admirably presented, in order: "The Basis of Slavery," by Miss Ernestine Singleton; "Family Life in Slavery," Miss Melva McCaw; "Dutch Slave Traders," Miss Nonence Gibson; "English Slave Traders," Miss Albertine Johnson; "Spanish Slave Traders," Miss Dorcas Jones. A fact of interest related by Mr. Pinkett is this—it was pointed out by W. E. DuBois, a noted race man, that "during the period that slave trading existed ap proximately 1,000,000 human beings were being sacrificed and the debt will have to be paid by the different races of people." Facts equally as interesting are presented at each lecture. COUNCIL BLUFFS NOTES Those on the sick list this week are: Mr. Manior, Mrs. George, Mrs. Davis, Rev. J. P. Jackson, Wm. Lee, Rev.

Such is the history of the Brandeis Store. This is also the story of a true vision and of a sound business policy. When J. L. Brandeis established "The Fair" at 506 So. 13th Street in 1881, he became the founder of the store that bears his name today. He had a vision of a great city in the future and his purpose was to have a retail store commensurate with that city. To have such a store, it was obviously necessary to have a sound and permanent business policy as a foundation. That policy was to sell good merchandise at the lowest policy price, and to require that his customers always be satisfied and pleased. The founder and his successors have always adhered strictly to the original policy set down in 1881. History, and history alone, can say if the vision be true. And history alone can speak the true worth of the business policy. The growth and development of the Brandeis retail business since 1881 have proven that the vision of J. L. Brandeis was correct, and that his business policy was sound. The founder's policy rules the Brandeis Store today. This is our Fourth Brandeis Day—the assortments of seasonable standard merchandise—the values—are greater than before. The manufacturers—the wholesalers—the importers have co-operated most generously to make the low prices possible. Every resource has been utilized to make Saturday — Brandeis Day—Omaha's most outstanding value giving event of the year. All goods offered in this event have been given the most rigid examination under the personal supervision of Mr. George Brandeis. The principles of merchandising established for Brandeis Day are—To offer the largest possible assortment of seasonable, dependable merchandise at prices that will mean the year's greatest savings to the thousands who will attend this event. EVERY DEPARTMENT PARTICIPATES—Every department in this big store is offering new, standard, reliable merchandise at the lowest prices of the year. EXTRA EMPLOYEES—Hundreds of extra employees, salespeople as well as workers in all other departments have been added to expedite shopping.
