BEAG HUNDREDS STUDY RACE RELATIONS AT RECENT MEET Inter-Racial Speakers of Both Races Being Given Frequent Opportunities to Speak on College Platforms. Subject Is Given Prominent Place on Many Southern Conference Programs, and Challenging Attention. STUDENTS GREATLY INTERESTED Blue Ridge, N. C.—This summer, as for several years past, the study of race relations has been a major feature at the many important gatherings held at this popular conference point, and the inter-racial message has reached thousands of people in positions of influence and leadership. Among the meetings so far held in which the subject has had a prominent place have been the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Student Conferences, the Missionary Education Conference, and the Y. W. C. A. Community conference. In all these there have been group discussions or platform addresses featuring race relations and great interest has been manifested. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, recently elected president of Howard university presented the subject before the men students in a powerful address that made a profound impression. Two colored students, Wesley Elam of Hampton institute and R. I. Boone of Shaw university, were present by invitation as fraternal delegates and were entertained by the conference for several days, making a very favorable impression upon the hundreds of white students in attendance from all over the southeast. At the Missionary Education and Y. W. C. A. Conferences R. B. Elazer, educational director of the Commission on Inter-Racial Co-Operation, presented the cause on the platform and before a number of discussion groups, as he did also at the Y. W. C. A. Industrial Conference at Lake Junaluska. It is generally admitted that one of the most powerful recent trends in the South is the great interest which student groups are manifesting in this subject, as indicated by the fact that sixty curriculum courses in race relations are conducted in principal southern colleges, in addition to a great many volunteer study and discussion groups. Interracial speakers - white and colored - are also being given frequent opportunity to speak on college platforms. The significance of this development is in the fact that the thoughtful students of today who are interesting themselves in this question will be the leaders of tomorrow. LIBERIAN CORPORATION SEEKS TO INTEREST U. S. NEGROES Monrovia, Liberia—According to an announcement made by A. C. Faulkner, president of the Liberian Produce exchange and Chamber of Commerce, at Monrovia, Mrs. Sarah Branch, vice president of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the corporation, will tour the United States in the effort to interest American Negroes in establishing homesteads in Marshall, Liberia. As an inducement to American Negroes the corporation is offering free transportation to a limited number to sail December 25, 1927.

ASSISTS NEW JERSEY MAN ATTACKED BY MOB IN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE HIM AWAY An effort on the part of a white mob at Palisades Park, N. J., to drive William P. Adams of New York from a newly purchased home located at 128 Brinkerhoff avenue, Palisades Park, N. J., brought prompt action by the National Association for the Advancement of Coiored People, when Mr. Adams appealed to the Association for aid. Mr. Adams owns a home in New York city, but wishing to provide for his wife and 3-year-old son a residence in a less congested community purchased a home in Palisades Park. Before closing the deal Mr. Adams asked specifically of the real estate broker and the white owners of the house, if there would be any objection to his occupying it on the part of the neighbors. Being assured there would be no objection, the deal was consummated. Mr. Adams and his wife were welcomed by the neighbors. Upon making preparations to move into his new home, Mr. Adams was threatened by persons living more than a mile from the house, among the threateners being several of foreign birth and a number of whom are unable to speak English. Several mass meetings were held and veiled threats were made. Fearing for the safety of his wife and child, while he was at work in the postoffice at New York city, Mr. Adams appealed to the association for help. The association immediately took up the matter with Governor Moore of New Jersey, Mayor Heder of Palisades Park, and Sheriff Sherry of Bergen county. Mr. Adams was also furnished with a letter to Oliver Randolph, a prominent colored attorney of Newark, who reports to the N. A. A. C. P. that as soon as Adams presented his letter he "called up the police headquarters in Palisades Park, the sheriff's office and the office of the prosecutor of pleas of Bergen county, and, after much trouble, finally got a promise from the sheriff's office that an officer would be placed on guard at Mr. Adam's house beginning at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, July 9, the date on which Mr.' Adams moved in." Governor Moore, in a letter dated July 13 to the N. A. A. C. P., advises that he has referred the matter to "local authorities, who have entire jurisdiction in matters of this kind. Mr. Adams should present his complaint to the mayor of the town in which he lives, and where he is entitled to the same consideration as any other citizen, and I have no doubt that he will receive it." ACTS TO CURB PROFANE SIGNS Trenton, N. J.-By the A. N. P.)-Commissioner Dill of the New Jersey motor vehicle department is to make an effort to revoke the licenses of motorists who display offensive signs beneath registration plates. One of the signs to which he particularly objects reads: "If you can read this you are too damn close." HARLEM TO HAVE LITTLE THEATER. New York.—America's first little community theater, owned and managed by Negroes, will be opened this fall in the heart of Harlem's large colored population. The building has just been bought by the Frogs, Inc., and will be converted into a 299-seat playhouse, equipped with stage, scenery, dressing-rooms and modern lighting effects. The Frogs were organized some years ago. Among the incorporators were Bert A. Williams, Bob Cole, Geo. E. Walker and James Reese Europe. One of the alms is to encourage dramatic art among Negroes by providing an outlet for plays written by talented members of the race. The officers of the Frogs, Inc., are Lester A. Walton, Rosamond Johnson, Alex Rogers, R. C. McPherson and Jesse A. Shipp. SCHOOL BLOWN UP; EIGHT HURT Miami, Fla.—(By the A. N. P.)—Following disapproval by residents of the proposed erection of a school for Negroes in the neighborhood, the school was blown up by an explosion in which eight workmen, two white, and six colored, were slightly injured.

They have failed to register. If any one whose age and legal residence in the state entitles him to vote has never registered, or has moved since he registered, in case he did register, must register before he can vote. Voting is not only a privilege, but a duty. It is therefore most important that every intelligent citizen should conscientiously cast his ballot for men and measures which he or she honestly believe to be for the public good. It is a duty to seek information concerning candidates and concerning public measures and support by one's vote such men and measures. We can readily understand why so many of the newcomers from the south fail to exercise the franchise. They were not allowed to vote in the south, as a rule. Of course, there were a few exceptions, but generally they were not allowed to vote. In cases where they did, one of the qualifications for voting was the payment of acertain sum called a "poll tax." Intimidated and distraised, quite naturally they feel that they have no voice in the choice of public officials. They were denied the ballot there because it is well-known that the ballot, rightly used, is the freeman's most powerful weapon. The ballot is more powerful to win justice and right than is the bullet. And because of its power for righteousness and good government no one should fail to use his ballot. To put the matter very plainly your vote or mine may determine, for example, whether the man who is chosen as sherriff, will protect a prisoner from a mob, or weakly turn him over to a mob. Such exegencies have arisen in more places than one, and may again arise. Your vote and mine determine who the president of the United States shall be, who our congressmen, who governor of the state, judge of the court, who mayor of the city, who members of the Board of Education. Every office within the gift of the people is determined by your vote and mine. If, therefore, we do not care what manner of men shall be elected, fair or unfair, just or unjust, honest or dishonest, then of course we ought not register or vote. But who is so unpatriotic and indifferent as to say it makes no difference to him who is elected? There are sinister influences at work which would circumscribe our opportunities and curtail our rights of citizenship. To these unfriendly forces and agencies we as a people cannot be indifferent. Our protection is to be found in a wise and intelligent use of the ballot. Let us see to it, then, that every potential voter of our race in this country, registers and votes. Nominate your choice at the primaries and vote for your candidate in November. SEE OMAHA'S BUFFALOES----A GREAT TEAM--PLAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY Omaha Western Leaguers Return Home Tomorrow from Successful Road Trip. Are Crowding Des Moines and Oklahoma City for League Leadership The Omaha Western leaguers, our Buffaloes, return home tomorrow from one of the most successful road trips of the year. Sixteen straight games are on the schedule for the present home stay. About two weeks ago the Buffs left Omaha in sixth position in the standings and on Friday of this week were in third place and crowding Des Moines and Oklahoma City closely for the lead. The return of "Happy" Holloban to second base and the purchase of Catcher Mondino, along with the coming of hot weather has brought the team out of a bad slump and they are beginning to acquire their rightful standing in the league. On Wednesday Manager Burch secured Pitcher "Red" Roberts from Oklahoma City via the waiver route, and at the same time farmed Malicky, a pitcher, to Marshalltown. Roberts should just about round out the Omaha pitching staff. It has been the pitching that has been the cause of Omaha's rather low standing, for the Buffs have stood at the top of the swatting column all year, and have a substantial lead at that. One game is on the ticket for Saturday afternoon with a big double-header for Sunday afternoon. With favorable weather conditions the largest crowds of the season should wedge into the park during this home stay. All loyal fans should see Omaha's great team in action Saturday and Sunday and may be assured that the league leading Oklahoma City's Indians will make it plenty tough for the aspiring Buffs. Great games can be expected. Saturday's game commences at 3:30 and the first game Sunday is scheduled for 2 o'clock. Box seats can be secured at the City National Cigar Store. ENTERTAIN FOR NEWLY WEDS Dr. and Mrs. Craig Morris entertained at a delightful dancing party last Friday night at the Hanscom Park pavilion complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Morris of St. Paul, Minn., who were married there June 27. A large number of guests were there to extend congratulations to the newly weds. Mr. Morris, who is a member of one of Omaha's most highly respected families, graduated from the Creighton School of Pharmacy in 1915 and had built up an excellent drug store business on North Twenty-fourth street which he was forced to sacrifice when the United States entered the World War and he entered the army.

ISTER! FRANCE PRAISES BLACK TROOPS Washington—In the satisfaction over the success of their armies in recent costly struggles of more than a year, the French have paid tribute to the notable services rendered by the 10,000 Negro troops who fought valiantly all through the conflict. The "History of the First Regiment of Senegalese Riflemen," just issued by the French army, relates in colorful and dramatic fashion some of the performances of the African soldiers. One army citation gives a striking recital of the losing fight made by two young French officers and their Negro troops in defense of a besieged blockkhouse in Beni-Derkoul. Another army citation tells of the exploit of a Senegalese rifleman named Monogongo, on guard in a blockhouse attacked by the Riffians. "I should like to see," says Stephan Lauzanne, "printed thousands of copies of The Golden Book of the Blacks, to be placed in the hands of the children in all the schools of France. And on July 14th, if there is a procession to the tomb under the Arc de Triomphe, at the head of the troops there should march a battalion of Senegalese. Having undergone the hardship, it would be but just that the blacks should share the honor. The Unknown Soldier, from the bottom of his glorious sepulchre, would himself ask that there pass before him, first of all, the Forgotten Soldiers." NEWSPAPER OFFERS EDU- CATION FOR CIRCUATION Detroit, Mich.—As an added stimulus to high school graduates and college undergraduates and with the fond hope of instilling in them a greater desire to pursue a college course, the Detroit Independent, a progressive newspaper of this city is staging a "Scholarship Circulation Contest." It is the plan of this newspaper to award ten scholarships to the ten persons turning in the largest number of subscriptions in a limited time. The contest is open to students everywhere who can produce the proper credentials. IS RACE PREJUDICE DYING? New York—Of six white persons questioned as to whether race prejudice is or is not dying out, three believed that it is and three that it isn't. Perhaps the most significant answer came from a white woman who explained: "One single fact should prove to any one that race prejudice, especially in this country, is not as strong as it was, and that is that nearly every one wants to see Wills and Jack Dempsey fight for the championship." 114 YEARS OLD; SMOKES Van Buren, Ark.—Having discarded his corn cob pipe for cigarettes forty years ago, "Uncle Jimmy" McCann, celebrated two weeks ago, feeling fine and prepared to enjoy a few more winters. He believes himself to be the oldest cigarette smoker in the United States. MISSIONARY BRANDS BOY'S CHEEKS Paris, France—Reports have reached here of indignation in Korea over the action of an American missionary of the Seventh Day Adventist church who is accused of branding the word "thief" on the cheeks of a Korean boy with acid. The incident is said to have occurred after the missionary caught the youngster stealing apples. The boy was recently compelled to stop school because of the ridicule to which he was subjected. The missionary now says he did not believe the acid would leave a permanent mark. Authorities content that that's a fine way of trying to Christianize the Koreans. AFRICAN SNOW STORM KILLS New York—Cable advices from Johannesburg, South Africa, the great diamond city, tell of a snowstorm during the week which was so severe that five persons were killed and telephone and telegrapn communications disrupted.

JOHNSON ACCEPTS ELECTION New Howard Head Is Man of Broad Scholarship and Recognized Authority on Sociological Chicago, Ill.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—"I think my fellow colored Americans know me well enough to know that I am their friend. I believe I am friend enough to them to speak to them of their faults as well as their virtues. One of the faults of the Negro is jealousy of one another. We have had a very serious problem at Howard University. I believe in Negro leadership for Negroes. I want all of you to join hands in support of the new president of Howard University. He will have trouble enough with the administration of that great school without having to bother with fighting off his critics. Stand behind Howard's new president." Thus Col. Theodore Roosevelt, speaking before a jammed meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in this city, called for support for the new president of Howard University, the Rev. Mordecai Johnson, Colonel Roosevelt was chairman of the committee which chose Dr. Johnson, elected at a meeting last Wednesday. Howard's new president was born in Tennessee. He is not yet forty years old. He studied at Roger Williams University, Morehouse, Union Theological Seminary, New York, Brown University, Chicago University, and abroad. He has been consistently sought as a lecturer on sociological subjects and race relations. He has lectured both at Howard and Hampton. At the present time, Dr. Johnson is abroad studying school administration. He is scheduled to return to America soon and to preach at Concord Baptist church in Brooklyn the fourth Sunday in August. He is programmed as the principal speaker at the National Baptist convention in Fort Worth, Texas, in September, occupying the place on the program which was always held by Booker T. Washington until the latter's death. Dr. Johnson has cabled acceptanie of his elitism. WASHINGTONIANS OPPOSE SITE TO BURY COLORED DEAD Washington, D. C.—White residents of Congress Heights and Washington Highlands appeared before the District Commissioners here last week to register a protest against the location of a colored cemetery on Giesboror Road southeast of the city. The whites contended that they did not want a colored cemetery in their neighborhood, averring that there was "no crying need" of another colored cemetery and that the proposed location would cause too much congestion of the highway there. Thomas L. Jones, colored assistant district attorney, made an impassioned plea for approval claiming "they don't want us to have a place to live nor to lie after we are dead," of the burial association's request. The commissioner's committee took the matter under advisement. KILLS COLORED WOMAN Ferriday, La.—William Herbert, white, has been placed in jail following the murder of Mrs. Grace Washington by Herbert.

Our Choice for President in 1928 is WALTER W. HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man VIOLATE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL Our attention has been called to several violations of the Nebraska Civil Rights bill upon the part of small lunch counters and stands where soft drinks are sold. Our advice to people who are running up against these discriminations is this: Hold your temper, prove yourself by your self-restraint a gentleman, obtain the name of the proprietor and file suits against the place under the Civil Rights bill for its violation and a suit for damages. The longer such insults and denial of one's civil rights are tolerated the worse they become. Our advice is fight, not with fists, but in the courts. WHAT SCHOOL CENSUS SHOWS The recent school census, and among the many enumerators appointed for this work, let us state in passing, it was impossible to get the Board of Education to appoint a single worker from our people, despite a definite promise that this would be done, "because it is only just and fair"!—discloses the fact, a gratifying one, that the largest ratio of increase in the school population is shown by our group. This in the face of an unprecedented decrease in the total school census. There is a shrinkage of 553 from that of last year, the total number for 1926 being 49,798; while that of last year was 50,356. Negro children enrolled last year numbered 2,185, and this 2,726 an increase of 541, a gain of nearly 25 per cent. These figures show that our population is steadily increasing. WHEN IT RAINS.

LETERS FROM OUR READERS Defends Civic Alliance To the Editor of the Monitor: Dear Sir:—My attention has been called to a statement circulated through the columns of papers of your race, to the effect that the organization known as the "Civic Alliance", is simply the Ku Klux Klan in disguise seeking to win the support of the colored population for political purposes. Having been one of a very small group of men connected with the beginning of the organization known as the Civic Alliance, I wish most emphatically to declare that the Civic Alliance is not connected with, obligated to or influenced by any other organization, whether it be the Ku Klux Klan, the Knights of Columbus or any other, in any manner whatsoever. It is just what it claims to be—an effort to arouse all good citizens to a deeper interest in government and to the support of good men and true, for public office The writer is on record with the declaration that at any time the Civic Alliance becomes anything else than what it claims to be, or becomes the tool of any self-seeking or designing group, he will withdraw from it in a public manner and will advise his friends to do likewise. For some years better understanding between racial and religious groups has been one of my hobbies. In following that interest, I have endeavored to keep free from all organizations of any kind and character that would limit my effectiveness in preaching this gospel. That has been my policy in the past and will continue to be my policy in the future. With such a policy it follows that I could not give my support to the Civic Alliance were it dominated by any particular group or interest. JAMES A.

TROOPS ATTACK PORTERS New Orleans, La.—Members of Troop G, 198 National Guard Cavalry, enroute to the training camp at Alexandria, La., attempted to mob Pullman porters at the T. and P. station, despite the efforts of their commanding officers to restrain them. Police and railroad detectives finally subdued the members of the state militia who, on entering, the service had taken oath to protect the peace and dignity of the nation. One leading newspaper of New Orleans in commenting on the affair said "Many of the troopers seemed to be under the influence of liquor and their officers, who were few in number, seemed to be unable to handle them."

THE MONITOR COMPETENT WOMAN SEEKS POSITION AS COUNTY CLERK Miss Grace Berger, Chief Deputy for Seven Years, Appointed to Fill Vacancy, Seeks Election to Office When Frank Dewey, who had been county clerk for many years, died last year, in looking for a worthy successor the County Commissioners wisely appointed Grace Berger., who had been Mr. Dewey's chief deputy, and to whose efficiency the successful administration of his office was largely due, to fill the vacancy. Even Mary Ann those who doubted the expediency of placing a woman as head of such an important office have admitted that the choice of the commissioners was a wise one. As a member of the board of equalization in the recent tax tangle, Miss Berger showed wonderful tac, ability, and level-headedness in protecting the taxpayers' interests, while at the same time guarding those of the JOSEPH KOUTSKY for Sheriff PETER B. For the voters' information, Mr. Koutsky started life in a sod house in Saunders county, Nebraska, in 1875, his parents being among the first home- steaders in the state, and he lived in eastern Nebrask all of his life. JOSEPH KOUTSKY, candidate for Sheriff on the Repu- can Ticket, is now completing ment of Public Improvements in the City of Omaha. During Mr. Koutsky's administration there has been laid over one-half the paved streets within the city and this was accomplished at from 25 to 40 per cent less than in any other city similarly situated in this country. If Mr. Koutsky is elected sheriff, he wants the voters of Omaha and Douglas county to know that he will be the real sheriff, and will take full charge of the office entrusted to him. No individual or organization will dictate the policies of the sheriff's office. Mr. Koutsky will conduct his campaign on the following principles: First—Everyone connected with the sheriff's office must be honorable in his performance of duty. Second—No inhuman treatment of prisoners will be tolerated. Third—No home will ever be entered for the purpose of making a search without a warrant properly issued and based on reliable information. Fourth—Mr. Koutsky guarantees to protect the rights of citizenship as provided in the constitution of the United States to all American citizens regardless of race, color or creed. Fifth—A square deal for everybody" will be given under the personal supervision of Joseph Koutsky. If you believe in these principles, vote for city. This was an unusual emergency and threw a vast deal of extra work on the office of the county clerk and yet it was admirably dispatched. In a word Miss Berger has made good not only as chief deputy for seven years but as county clerk since Mr. Dewey's death. Miss Berger is now a candidate for nomination at the primaries August 10 on the Republican ticket. Any one who has any dealing with the county clerk's office, knows the courteous and prompt attention given to all. This is one of the offices which for years has employed one of our race in a clerical position. Miss Berger's twenty years' experience in this office, thirteen as clerk and seven as chief deputy, give her qualifications for the position which no other candidate can claim. Mr. A. L. Corneal left last Wednesday for his home in Portland, Oregon, after some visit with his sister and brother here. Mrs. P. L.

PRESIDENT’S MESSENGER HAS HEART ATTACK Paul Smith’s—Major Arthur Brooks, one of the most widely known employ- ees in the departmental service at Washington, who is serving President Coolidge as valet, has suffered an attack of heart trouble at the summer camp of the President. Major Coupal, the President's physician, was sum- moned and soon had his patient out of danger. Major Brooks is past three score years old and has been valet to every President since Mr. Taft occupied the White House. He really came to Paul Smith's as a guest of the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge, with instrue- tions not to work, but to obtain a rest and the beneficial effects of life in the mountainous country. He suf- fered a similar attack two years ago and Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge drove to his home and left flowers. ~ Major Arthur Brooks is an author- ity on military tactics and science, and has organized several militia.or- ganizations in the capital city, He at one time had charge of the national guard of the District of Columbia.
