JUDGE COBB IS FINALLY SWORN IN LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5 Cent. Copy. JUDGE MORTALITY RATE EXCEEDINGLY HIGH AMONG COLORED Colired Americans Have Death Rate of 17.1 Per Thoesand as Compared With 11.8 Among Whites. INDIAN MORTALITY HIGHEST Death Rate Among the Red Men 22.5 Per Thousand; Among Japanese It Is Only 11.5 New York, June 16—Commenting on the mortality of colored races in the United States, American Medicine says that of each thousand deaths in this country during 1923, 873 were white, 122 Negre, two Indian, one Chinese and one Japanese. The death rate of the entire registration area exclusive of Hawaii was 12.3 per thousand population. "The discrepancy between the white mortality rate of 11.8 and that of the colored of 17.1 merits attention. It is not without interest that in the registration states the mortality of the white males was 12.4, colored males 17.6, white females 11.2, colored females 16.5. "The state of affairs, however, is more significant when one contrasts the mortality rates in the cities and the rural parts of registration states. In the cities the mortality rate was 13.6 for male white and 25.2 for male colored; 11.5 for female white and 20.4 for female colored, while in the rural section the rate for male, white was 11.4 and colored male 14.0, and for female white 10.8, and for colored female 14.4. "It is interesting therefore to note that where sanitation and health administration might be expected to be more effective in improving the colored mortality rate, it is relatively inferior to the natural status in the rural sections. Inasmuch as in the rural sections there appears to be a greater similarity in the mortality rates of the white and the colored, it would seem as though the colored race were particularly penalized by residence in the cities in the registration states. "The distinction thus observed in mortality rates is not generally true, as there are marked variations in northern and southern states. By way of contrast, for example, one notes that in Massachusetts the urban mortality rate of white males is 12.9 and in rural sections 14.0 while for the urban colored male it is 80.1. In New York City the urban white male had a rate of 13.1 while the colored male was adacer2andCyahaokaa-22.0, and in the rural sections it was 15.0 for the white male and 20.1 for the colored male. "If one compares the mortality of the white with that of the colored races one notes the Negro mortality rate of 17 per thousand, Indian mortality rate 22.5, Japanese mortality rate 11.5. This contrast raises various questions. The low rate of the Japanese is in striking contrast with the higher rate of the Negro and the unusually high mortality rate of the American Indian. In contrast with the mortalities of other nations that of the United Staes is excellent, says the writer. The mortality rate of the Japanese in the registration states of only 11.5 is in sharp contrast with their mortality rate of 22.3 in Japan in 1922. There is a marked difference, however, he asserts, in the constitution of the Japanese population in this country and in the home land. "The mortality rate for the Indians in America in 1923 was approximately that of Jamaica," the writer continues. "Considering that the Indians are virtually wards of the United States Government, and that there is a Bureau of Indian Affairs whose function it is to regard their welfare it is shocking to learn that the Indian mortality rate is higher than that of the whites and Negroes in this country."

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1926 An Open Letter to Every Negro Club Woman in America AMERICAN SESQUI-CENTENNIAL PETITION TO PRESIDENT OF U. S. A. By Colored America to Abolish Federal Executive Segregation on Sesqui-Centennial of Declaration of Independence To the President, Calvin Coolidge, Chief Executive, White House, Washington, D. C.: In this year 1926 Sesqui-Centennial Year of signing of the Declaration of Independence of U. S. A. which asserted human equality, at and for American Independence Week, June 28-July 5, set aside by Federal Commission under yourself to the end of nation-wide observances of its 150th anniversary; We, the undersigned, for ourselves and all other Americans of African extraction or descent, do hereby earnestly and of right petition you to abolish by Executive Order the present segregation of Colored Federal Employees in Executive Departments—Treasury, Justice, Postoffice, Army and Navy and others, a subjection of one racial element to the race prejudice actual or presumed of all other elements, and therefore a denial of equality of citizenship to the race singled out from all others for such subjection. For we hold it to be self-evident that consistency and national honor require that race distinction in deference to race prejudice be removed from federal buildings as the federal government arranges nationwide observances of the Sesqui-Centennial of a Republic's first document which enunciated equality and freedom. This is the more incumbent when this one race so proscribed furnished the first martyr, and soldiers in the war, for the very independence to be celebrated, with soldiers in every other war, thereafter, and never a traitor. Thus lead the nation generally to end Color pro-scription at 150 years NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. for UNITED COLORED AMERICAN COMMITTEE, 9 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. NAME ... ADDRESS ... NAME ...

Whole Number 570 RN IN COURTS SUSTAIN RESIDENCE RIGHTS OF RACE IN TAMPA Injunction Stops Interference With Exclusive Negro Subdivision Vigorously Opposed by Whites. ATTEMPTS TO DRIVE OUT RACE Prevented From Residing in Other Sections Enterprising Citizens Develop District for Themselves. Tampa, Fla., June 16—Colored Tampans consider that they have won a long tight for residential rights in this city as a result of the action of the courts. The end of an era of strife and opposition to the settlement of Washington Park, a subdivision exclusively for colored Americans in the norwest part of Tampa is expected. The signing of an order of mandatory injunction against nine defendants by Circuit Judge L. L. Parks, barring further interference with the development of the subdivision overthrows all opposition. The order followed the failure of the defendants to post a supersedeas bond of $10,000 pending further action in the supreme court. A temporary restraining order was granted the Washington Park developers against the actions of whites in attempting to drive colored persons from Washington Park which was characterized by much outlawry. The defendants took an appeal to the supreme court. That tribunal allowed the lower court to set the amount of the bond, which was allowed to lapse. The defendants were J. L. Lightsey, W. L. Bush, W. F. Coats, R. Vetsal, J. F. Albury, W. T. Vetsal, J. W. Klingel, and F. W. Guyer. The injunction is against the erection of signs and intimidation of prospective purchasers. Washington Park is in the center of an area north of Tampa Bay Boulevard, west of Armenia avenue and south of Hillsborough avenue, but not touching any of these thoroughfares. It comprises 360 acres. N. A. A. C. P. HOLDS SUNDAY FORUM The Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held its regular monthly forum meeting at Mt. Moriah Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. There was a notable increase in attendance. An interesting discussion on the question, "Is Our Attitude Towards Criminals Too Lenient?" was the chief feature of the program and elicited many instructive facts. The Rev. Russell Taylor introduced the subject because of an alleged remark of a district court judge and county attorney to the effect that Negroes protected criminals. Others taking part in the discussion were Y. W. Logan, who felt that there was some justification for the statement; M. L. Hunter, who questioned it; Rev. John Albert Williams and Henry W. Black, who challenged the statement and denied it, citing specific facts to prove their contention. ROSENWALD OFFERS $25,000 FOR FLORIDA “Y” Jacksonville, Fla.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—An offer of $25,000 for a Negro Y. M. C. A. for this city by Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, has been made by C. J. Jackson, executive secretary of the local white Y. M. C. A. The offer is made that the citizens of Jacksonville, both white and colored, must raise $125,000 and start the building, then after sixty days or when Mr. Rosenwald is assured that the project will go through, he will give his $25,000 cash gift. The local Y. M. C. A. is not willing to undertake the raising of this sum unless they are assured that the white citizens of Jacksonville will contribute as well as the colored. Jacksonville was selected because it is a clearing house for Negroes who must pass through here to reach other parts of the state, and has a Negro population of almost 50,000.

HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man WORTH CONSIDERING A little serious thought ought to convince us that we spend a lot of energy for things that do not count for much. This is particularly true of our social life. Many women idle away hours at the card table or in equally idle and profitless conversation which could be turned to much better account. Not that we are inveighing against a reasonable amount of wholesome recreation, whether it be cards, dancing, croquet, checkers or like diversions. They are all in the same category. As we see it, there is no harm in any of these when used under proper conditions. There is no difference between a social game of cards and a social game of checkers. When either checkers or cards are used in gambling, and either can be so used, there is harm and wrong-doing. The harm or wrong is not in either the cards or the checkers, but in the use, or misuse we make of them. If we are intemperate in our use of any legitimate recreations or diversions, giving an inordinate proportion of our time to these which should be devoted to other things we are guilty of wrong-doing. When, for example, women, well-meaning women, spend, as some do, morning after morning. and afternoon after afternoon, and evening after evening, when the social season is at its height, in card playing, is not this a waste of time and energy which could be and should be devoted to better and more useful purposes? Would it not be much more profitable to devote a portion of such time to self-culture, or to charitable work and social uplift; to the developing of needed institutions or to the caring for children of mothers who must go to work and leave their little ones unattended. With so many serious and important issues before us in this and every other community, do you not think it wise for women who may have more leisure than others to earnestly consider whether they are making the best use of their leisure time in their social life and recreation or whether they are not dissipating a good deal of energy that might be turned to better purpose? Gossipers are as a rule experts at lying, and the worst kind of a gossiper is a male gossiper. AN IMPORTANT WORD The postal regulations re be sent through the mails a advance.

A WORTHY OBJECTIVE We have learned with pleasure that the L. C. A., which means the Literary, Civic and Art club, an organization of matrons, which has been meeting for some time, have set as their objective the providing of a Day Nursery, where mothers who have to go to work may leave their children under proper care and conditions. This is a worthy objective, as an institution of this kind is much needed. We wish the movement abundant success. It should be given substantial encouragement. The first entertainment in their fund raising campaign will be a June Frolic, given Monday night at the home of Mrs. William H. Robinson, and should be liberally patronized. We hope the women will not slacken their efforts until their object is attained THAT PLAYGROUND When are we going to get the much-needed supervised playground at Twenty-first and Charles streets which the city was supposed to have acquired nearly two years ago? The houses were moved off and work started, then halted by legal proceedings. The work should be completed and a supervisor appointed. Now it is used simply as a baseball field, chiefly by larger boys who are not careful of their language or conduct. This playground is needed, badly needed, but it should be properly equipped and supervised. Playgrounds reduce juvenile delinquency. Mr. Hummel, what can-?k liai eishw ...Pafamk, k be done about this playground before the snow flies? CANNOT STAND A Detroit judge has just handed down a decision that cannot stand. He has ruled that while William Starks and his wife, who belong to one of Detroit's pioneer, colored families, can own property in a certain section of the city they cannot occupy it. If such a decision as that can hold good then the Constitution of the United States is a lie. PROVOKES CRITICISM The heavy reductions, running up into hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes on corporations while raising the taxes of small home-owners does not put County Assessor Greenleaf in a very favorable light or position. It subjects him to severe criticism. Keep on smiling, keep on hoping, keep on working, keep on struggling, keep on fighting for the right and you will win.

Epidemics Since 1914 Deadlier Than Wars Washington.—Epidemics, with a toll of 40,000,000, have claimed more lives throughout the world since 1914 than all the wars and civil strife, since that year, the second Pan-American Red Cross conference was told by T. B. Kitteridge, assistant director general of the League of Red Cross Societies. Of the 62,000,000 lives lost in world disasters since 1914, Mr. Kitteridge sn' 9,000,000 were lost in war and 3,000,000 in civil strife. Injuries during the same period totaled 140,000,000, epidemics caused 100,000,000 of these and war 20,000,000. The number of dead and seriously injured in disasters since 1914 constituted one-tenth of the total world population. Eighty-five per cent of relief contributions for disaster-stricken areas come from the American continent, 75 per cent being from the United States.

The collections of some 500 Lincoln enthusiasts and various museums have garnered practically everything that ever related to the emancipator or his life."

CAROLINA'S NEW INDUSTRIES Steadily Shifting From Cotton Fields to Mill Washington.—"North Carolina is passing through a renaissance. Due to her steadily intensifying shift from cotton fields to mill centers, and from once-idle streams to throbbing dynamos, she has suddenly rediscovered herself on the threshold of industrial power." With this introduction Melville Chater tells what he saw on a motor tour of North Carolina's industry, development, historic scenes and interesting people, in a communication to the National Geographic society, from which the following is extracted: "For centuries wild horses have been roaming on the Cape Hatteras banks, and current tradition has it that they are descended from Barbary ponies which were brought over by Sir Walter Raleigh's colonists. "Our quest landed us on a naked, sun-baked spit where men were driving the so-called 'banker ponies' along the beach and into a corral made of timbers from old wrecks. Perched on the pen's top rail, with the beach-pounding surf along one edge of the narrow spit and the sound, with its rough sailboats, on the other, we took lens shots at the inclosed jam of 200 horses, as they reared and kicked each other into a state of bloodied noses and wildly rolling eyes. "Some of the herders lassoed and cut out colts for branding or sale. Others yelled out their branding marks, recognized on mares, and claimed the accompanying foals. "A few years ago these putative descendants of Raleigh's 'little Barbary ponies' were bringing $50 to $125. The auctioneer, in explanation, complained, 'Tew much gasoline abaout nowadays!' "The legendary North Carolinian who in the '60s called his three daughters Rosin, Tar, and Turpentine would today be naming them after cigarette brands, furniture trade-marks, and cotton goods patterns. Charlotte Spindle Center. "Charlotte, situated between the big hydroelectric developments along the Catawba and Yadkin rivers, is a plexus of this new industrialism. In the last 25 years the number of textile mills operating within a 100-mile radius of that city has increased fivefold, with a present spindleage of 10,000,000. "An hour's ride beyond Charlotte we entered Gastonia, one of the largest textile centers in the United States. Of its 20,000 people, about three-fourths are workers in the 42 mills whose tall stacks cut the sky. Yet, in the town's broad, tree-shaded streets, lined with neat cottages on well-kept, flower-fringed plots, one felt no oppressive sense of concentrated industry, but rather the restfulness of some model suburb, wide-spread to sun, air, and surrounding countryside. "With mill workers' cottages rentable at $8 a month, with water and electric light free, and a mild climate, necessitating little fuel, which is obtainable at cost, it is not uncommon for mountain families to work at Gastonia long enough to pay off their farm mortgage and then return to the Blue Ridge. "Gastonia county contains 98 textile mills, which represent one-sixth of the state's total spindleage and consume almost one-third of her cotton crop. "A few hours' drive from Chimney Rock further into the mountains brought us to Asheville, the gateway to what North Carolinians have well named the Land of the Sky. Never was an altitude of half a mile above sea level so unobvious, in all the tonic atmosphere. Set in a vast bowl, Asheville is encircled by mountains whose 20 highest peaks top all altitudes in the Eastern states. Could the Titans return, they might appropriately seat themselves as spectators of one of Asheville's big golf or tennis meets. "It was on the Blitmore estate, near Asheville, that, with the founding of a forestry school, the first steps in American forest conservation were taken Turning Back Time. "Surrounded by the modishness of Asheville, one scarcely realizes that only 50 miles away mountainers are living a ruggedly simple existence behind hand-hewn timbers and on small 'switchback' farms, with Revolutionary booms and spinning wheels alongside their chimney pieces of native rock. "It was a farseeing woman from among the 'boiled-shirt' life of Asheville who persuaded these remote, almost forgotten, mountain folk to set their long-idle looms going again. Today there are half a dozen handicraft centers scattered through western North Carolina. "Back in 1912, when only one North Carolinian in 380 owned a motor vehicle, the then-existing roads answered the needs of the day—answered that is, in the sense that the single log across a North Carolina mountain stream then answered as a footbridge. They got you somewhere, no matter how. "In 1921 the state legislature authorized $50,000,000 worth of rodden bonds. Today the bond issues total $85,000,000. "Carmen, with a hand on her hip and a rose between her lips is a world away from Winston-Salem's methods of cigarette manufacture. One machine shreds and feeds out the 'mashings.

"Other machines make containers, affix revenue stamps, imprint and record serialized numbers—in fact, do everything for the smoker except to hand him a match. It is the machine that plays the title role of Carm. while the girl inspectors are merely understudies. "Winston-Salem's stamp-sticking machines consume annually the most expensive meal in the world—a matter of $100,000,000 worth of Uncle Sam's familiar blue imprints. That is the sum of her federal taxes, which represent one-half of those paid by North Carolina."

Chief Tells Indian Rapid City, S. D.—An ancient Sioux legend of the creation is the most popular story in the repertoire of Chaucey Yellowrobe, son of a Rosebud Sioux chieftain and a teacher in the federal Indian school here. "When the Great Spirit had created his wonderland here of mountains and prairies and streams and trees," Yellowrobe tells his students, "he sought to fashion a human being worthy to enjoy its grandeur. He shaped the clay in his hands, and baked it in his canfire, but when he drew it forth it was pale and had not baked rapidly enough, and he threw it behind him. "He molded another form, and laid it in the hot ashes, but when he drew it forth it was pale and had not baked rapidly enough, and he threw it behind him. "He molded another form, and laid it in the hot ashes, but when he drew it out it was blackened and crisp. So he tossed it to one side. Then he modeled a new figure, even more carefully than before, packed the red coats around it, and when he lifted it from the fire it was red and sound and perfect. "And he put it into the great wilderness of the West, and it multiplied its kind and was the tenant of the Great Spirit's own garden." Farmer Made Head Winnipeg. - From hired man on a farm to premier of Saskatchewan is the record of J. G. Gardiner, who has just been elected chief executive of the province. O wattman day back in 1901 young Gardiner, a strapping lad of seventeen, swung off a harvester excursion train at Winnipeg. He had two dol- THE MONITOR bars in his pocket and a defermulation to succeed. He got work with a threshing outfit at Clearwater. Man. He pitched grain with such enthusiasm that the farmer gave him a steady job. The young man saved his money and was able to enter Manitoba college, where he graduated with honors. He become principal of a high school at Lemberg, Sask., and took up a farm nearby. Gardiner's neighbors elected him to the Saskatchewan legislature in 1913 and he has been a member ever since. "Success is open to any man who makes up his mind definitely what he wants to do," said Premier Gardiner, "and then rolls up his sleeves and tries with all his might to do it. I was born on a farm and raised among farmers." High Cost of Being Born Limits U. S. Birth Rate Berkeley, Calif.—The high cost of being born is partly responsible for the declining birth rate in the United States, a state economic research organization here has reported. In grandmother's time one could arrive in this world for less than $100; today the organization estimates the cost at $541.95. Some babies cost even $1,000 or $1,500 the organization said it has learned. USE SEAPLANES TO HUNT WHALES Vancouver Concerns Try New Method to Increase Year's Catches. Vancouver, B. C.—For the first time in the history of the industry seaplanes will be used to hunt whales off Vancouver island and Queen Charlotte island this season. Thus with one mighty movement have the antiquated whale-hunting methods, which have been in use for many years, been scrapped in favor of the most advanced methods known to the business. Capt. George Le Marquand, one of the veteran whaling experts of the Pacific coast, admits the whales will not be actually killed by the planes. The big air cruisers will be utilized to locate the whales and will direct the work of the whaling crews in much the same manner they were used during the war to direct the movements of troops and point guns for the artillery. With the big seaplane to guide them the ships belonging to a whaling fleet will work in cooperation, instead of individually, as was the previous custom. This will eliminate the rivalry between ships, but Captain Marquand believes the new system will result in a bigger catch. Signals Nearest Whaler. When the airman sights a mammal he will signal the nearest whaler, direct the boat to the creature and then YOU CAN HAVE THE ARE LOOK by listing your name an ALFRED Catering and Em YOU CAN HAVE THE KIND OF JOB YOU ARE LOOKING FOR by listing your name and telephone number with EPISCOPAL ch of St. Philip the De 21st near Paul Rev. John Albert Williams, Rector 2811 Caldwell Street. fly on in quest of other game. After the pilot has signaled the location of a whale the whaler will turn into the course designated. When the quarry has been brought into range the harpoon gun will fire its projectile into the vitals of the monster and with the outward pull will spread its forks and stick fast. Following the kill the whale is pumped full of air to keep it afloat and in its side is stuck a red flag on a long marking pole, which is visible for a long distance. The mammal is then left floating until the ship picks it up and tows it back to port at the end of the day, together with whatever else may have been killed. There the factory manufactures whalebone, fertilizer, various grades of oil and puts up some of the meat in tins. During the last few years the whaling industry of the north Pacific has slipped steadily down the scale in the average of production. Catches have been smaller and the markets have not always been dependable. Admit Catches Are Poor. Officials of Victoria and Vancouver whaling concerns, whose boats are the most numerous in all the Pacific coast territory, admit their trade has languished. Sometimes, they say, the catches of the last several years barely paid for the upkeep of the whaling stations, the ships and the crews. This year the Consolidated Whaling corporation will enter the season with six ships and two whaling stations, instead of nine ships and three stations, as circumstances forced them to sell three ships and one station. In spite of this situation the company hopes to set a new record this year with the help of the seaplane which already has departed for the whaling grounds.
