BLACKENS FACE; COMMITS OFFENSE $2.00 a Yea 5 Cents a Copy CONFESSES TO SEV- ERAL CRIMES; WERE CHARGED TO NEGROES John Sexton (White), of Mississippi Claims to Be One of Gang Who Blacken Their Faces When Committing Crimes CHILD VICTIM OF HIS LUST St. Louis, Mo.—One of the most important arrests made by the St. Louis police recently was that of John Sexton (white) of Leland, Mississippi, who has admitted committing many robberies and criminal assaults on women and girls during the past seven months he has been in St. Louis. He was arrested in a Market street pawn shop when he returned to obtain more money on two rings he had previously pawned said to be a part of the loot he obtained through robbery. Assaults 15-Year-Old Girl Among the crimes admitted by Sexton is that of luring a 15-year-old girl to a house at 1610 Pine street on the promise of work and criminally assaulting her. He has also been identified by three more girls as the man who on Wednesday night stopped them at Oakland avenue and attempted to drag one of them to a lonely spot when he was frightened by approaching motorists. This was near the spot, and on the same night, that a Negro was charged with having taken a girl from her escort and assaulted her. The girl assaulted, after seeing Sexton at police headquarters with his face blackened, has partially identified him as her assailant. Blackens His Face. In an interview with a representative of the St. Louis Argus, Sexton at police headquarters talked freely about his masquerading under the guise of a Negro when committing crimes. He said it was easy to fasten crimes on Negroes. He denied he was the man who took a Miss Rose Mary Sullivan from her escort in Forest Park and criminally assaulted her. When asked directly by an Argus representative did he commit the assault on Miss Sullivan, Sexton said: "I didn't do it. You see I am a southern white man who wouldn't put a crime like that on a Negro because it would endanger his life. I would rather take my own medicine. You know if I confessed to assaulting a 15-year-old girl, I would confess about this case. It may be that some of the other fellows did it." When asked what he meant by "other fellows," he said that there was a gang of white men with whom he was associated, who blacken their faces when committing certain crimes. And while the police have not been able to fasten this particular crime on Sexton, yet, it is generally believed that he with a black face committed the crime which has been so widely published as having been committed by a Negro. Three girls have identified Sexton as the man whom they supposed to be a Negro, that attacked them and attempted to drag one of them into hiding but was frightened away, just about an hour before the assault on the other girl which took place in the same vicinity. Other jobs done by Sexton under the cover of a blackened face were some eight or ten oil station holdups. Y. W. C. A. SECRETARY HAS RETURNED FROM EAST Miss Edna M. Stratton, secretary of the North Side Branch Y. W. C. A., has returned from her two months' vacation and absence in the east. Six weeks of this time was spent in attendance at the National Y. W. C. A. Training School in New York City. There was a total enrolment of 98 "Y" workers taking the special course provided at the school, twelve of whom were colored. Miss Stratton spent two weeks with her parents in Pittsburgh. Relics of a people who lived in the valley of the Nile about 14,000 years ago are now on view at University college, London. THE MONITOR HOLDS A POSITION OF TRUST Among the number of colored men and women employed in the various business houses of Omaha who are holding positions of trust today, is the young man, Bill Holt, whose picture appears above. Bill has been in the employ of the Hartman Furniture and Carpet company for 10 years and one must render satisfactory service to remain in the employ or one firm for that length of time. Bill holds the position of "superintendent of building" for the Hartman company, is entrusted with the keys and superintends the work during periods of alterations on the interior of the building or the elevator equipment. When such work is being done at night, it becomes necessary for Bill to look after his regular duties during the day and to oversee the work being done at night. Besides being super intendent of building, Bill has complete charge of the cleaning and dusting of the entire store, having a force of six people under him to do the work. This work consists of general cleaning, the dusting of furniture and keeping the store tidy and attractive. Bill owns his own home at 2507 Indiana avenue. His wife was Emice Annison before she became Mrs. Holt and they have a splendid family of three children. The Holts belong to the St. John A. M. E. church. The Hartman Furniture and Carpet company employs a number of colored help and have always treated this help with the utmost consideration and by speaking words of praise for the firm, this help has brought much business from colored people to the Hartman store.—Adv.

Boyd, the secretary of the biggest Negro printing plant owned, operated and controlled by Negroes in the world. The Rev. Mr. Boyd gave facts and figures touching upon the work of the institution founded by his father nearly thirty years ago. He also presented a resume of the work accomplished in the Twenty-first Annual Session of the Sunday School Congress. OPENS CANDY STORE Arthur A. Ware an expert candy maker, who has made candy for some of the best firms in the country, has returned to Omaha and opened a candy store at 1516 North Twenty-fourth street. He plans to do a wholesale as well as retail business. His store is one of the most attractive on North Twenty-fourth street. His goods are of the finest grade and he should and doubtless will receive a liberal patronage. When in need of fine candies be sure to see Ware. INDUSTRIAL WORKERS ORGANIZED GARY, IND.—Under the direction of H. M. Fletcher, organizer and president, the Industrial Workmen's Association, an organization created to "unite all the colored workmen of Gary," is said to be tourishing. The Industrial Workmen's Association is comprised principally of Gary steel workers, skilled and unskilled, who are engaged in the Gary steel plants. The interlocking plan upon which the Gary organization is based has enjoyed marked success particular where colored workers are engaged in plants, fields and mines. Ultimately living conditions are to be treated with and every phase of work commitment is to be made subject of "round table" conferences. NOTION JET M KLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED THE REV. JOHN ALB OMAHA, NEBRASKA, ACE; C OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 17, 1926 ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST, WARM FRIEND OF NEGROES, ABDUCTED BY HOODED GANG Father Warren, Who Conducts School for Poor Colored Children, Captured and Warned by Mob to Desist. Norfolk, Va.—The Rev. Vincent D. Warren, a Catholic priest of this city, was taken captive late last Thursday night by a band of hooded men in Princess Anne county, subjected to a grilling in an isolated woods and released with a warning after being held prisoner for two hours. The clergyman was unharmed by his captors, but there were cries of "brand the nigger lover" as he was being questioned. Father Warren (told investigating officers he was questioned about his activities as a patron for a Negro boys' band and other Negro philanthropies. Sought With Flashlights Sought With Flashlights More than 30 white men, all clothed in Ku Klux Klan regalia, Father Warren says, stealthily approached the scene of the concert after the boys had been playing for two hours and were nearing the end of the program. Provided with flashlights the hooded figures started a search of the grounds, locating Father Warren with two friends in an automobile, a position the priest had taken because of missives said to have come from the klan warning that the colored hand must not be brought into the county. The priest was seized, the witnesses say, dragged out of the machine, and forced to enter another automobile in which he was taken to the woods, followed by the rest of the raiding party in automobiles. He was taken 20 miles into a woods, and warned to desist from educating the Negroes. LEARNS FROM COLORED BOYS Wichita, Kans. — Geniality, deep religious feeling, a devotion to the cause of international understanding, and a spirit of brotherhood—these are the outstanding characteristics which W. A. Visser t Hooft, of the World's committee of the Y.M.C.A. at Geneva, Switzerland, found in the colored boys he met in his visit to the Booker T. Washington Hi-Y of this city. "I was greatly pleased by the warm-hearted welcome to a foreigner," he says in World's Youth. "They (the Negroes) impress me as having more natural kindness and geniality than any other race, I have never been in close touch with the Negro race or to put it stronger, I had never talked to a Negro until I was over twenty years of age. I was terribly conscious of being white when I found myself with one other white gentleman in a hall full of Negro students." Mr. Visser't Hooft found the colored Hi-Y group intensely interested in boys of other nations. He discovered in them an amazing knowledge of India and its religions, the Balkans and Balkan problems, the Japanese, various European peoples, and the work of Max Yergan among the boys and young men of South Africa. They spoke to him of education as one means of attaining a high type of citizenship and of giving service to the country. In return, he learned, they ask for a democracy "in the fundamental sense of the term" as explained by Abraham Lincoln, "a government of the people by the people, for the people." They plead for the leadership of youth, even though youth may be individualistic and self-assertive, for "mental independence, which is the essence of individualism, is necessary to spiritual life." ASK NOMINATIONS FOR WALKER AWARDS Ney York.—The N. A. A. C. P., 69 Fifth avenue, announces that nominations may still be sent in for the 1926 gold medal, awarded to some member of the N. A. A. C.

The scholarships may be presented by the winning branch to any student designated. ONIT TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED ERT WILLIAMS, Editor. SEPTEMBER 17, 1926 COMMI SEEKING COLORED GIRL WHO WILL ATTEMPT TO SWIM ENGLISH CHANNEL Race Mermaid Will Try to Master Difficult Course; Washington Business and Professional Men Back Venture. Washington, D. C.—An American Negro girl to swim the English channel. This is the hopes of the Rev. Edward Johnson, Baptist pastor, who passed a resolution at the annual session of the White Cross bureau that the organization seek to find the mermaid who will conquer the channel and finance her in the efforts. The drive to find the race girl that appears as a likely master of the channel swim was started in earnest Sunday at Atlantic City. Rev. S. P. W. Drew, president of the State White Cross Bureau, said that efforts were being made to induce Watt Terry, wealthy race real estate man of New York, to aid in financing the project. Aspirants for the proposed channel swim met September 6 at 1029 V street, northwest. Several brown-skin mermaids, from Baltimore, one of whom is said to have completed a 20-mile swim in Chesapeake Bay last week, were present. A trial swim will be held at Atlantic City. One year of training will be given the girl selected by the bureau to attempt the channel feat. All her expenses will be paid during the period of training. HARROD CONCERT COMPANY DELIGHTS AUDIENCES The Harrod Concert Company, few in numbers, but great in melody, have been in the city for several days delighting audiences with their artistic interpretation of spirituals, jubilee songs and other soulful music. The company at present consists of Mr. Archie Harrod of Washington, D. C., manager and tenor; Mrs. Harrod and Miss Matilda A. Walton, of New York, contralto. Concerts were given at the North Side "Y" Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock; at Calvary Baptist church at 7:30 and at Hillside Presbyterian at 9. Monday noon they sang at the Y. M. C. A. Monday night at Grove M. E.; Tuesday night at Dundee Presbyterian and Wednesday night at the North Side Presbyterian church. At all these places the audiences were delighted. Mr. Harrod. organizer and owner of the company, has had a rather varied career. As a boy for two years he was caddy for President Taft. For eight years he was messenger for Champ Clark, who interested himself in his education, and helped him attend the University of Minnesota and the New England conservatory. Organizing his concert company they have sung on the Lyceum and Chataquda circuits. The company has made four trips to Europe, two to South America and Bermuda and three to the Pacific coast. ELKS PLEDGE SUPPORT Cleveland—Outsanding among the constructive policies of the I. B. P. O. E. W., adopted at the most successful Grand Lodge session in the history of Elkdom, which adjourned in this city at the close of last week, was the pledge made by the Elks to the cause of Negro education. The Grand Treasurer reported a fund of $16,489.59, already on hand, which is the nucleus of a special education fund to be distributed as scholarships to worthy boys and girls of the Negro race. This fund is to be gradually enlarged, so as to provide a permanent surplus for the sons and daughters of Elks who qualify for the scholarships. The director of education will supervise the distribution of the scholarship funds, as well as the eligibility of candidates. PICKS COP'S POCKET New Orleans, La.—Victoria Willis was arrested a few days ago for disturbing the peace, and while in the patrol wagon lifted a $80 watch from the pocket of the arresting officer.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL ARTHUR BROOKS DIES; A HEART VICTIM TS OFI LIEUTENANT COLO BROOKS DIES Special to The Monitor By Walter J. Singleton Washington, D. C.—Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Brooks, custodian of the White House, passed away early Tuesday morning. A slight hope had been felt, among those near him, that he might recover from the heart attack that prostrated him on August 26th, but without avail, and now the host of friends and admirers who mourn him number into the thousands and are found in every station of life. Colonel Brooks was appointed instructor of the high school cadets on October 15, 1888, and served continuously as such until November 30, 1918. when special leave was granted him to accompany the late President Wilson to Europe. His work in the National Guard and with the cadets, shaping the manhood of the younger citizens of this generation, stands as a living monument to his rare ability and sterling citizenship. His interest in their development as citizens, their progress as students, and their general wellbeing was highly exemplary. Arthur Brooks was commissioned captain of Company A, 6th Battalion, known as the Washington Cadet corps, on July 2, 1887. This company was transferred to and became Company A, First Separate Battalion. He was promoted to Major First Separate Battalion, on December 10, 1897, and was retired as a Lietutenant-Colonel on July 16, 1912. In 1914 he was awarded the twenty-five, year gold medal for service in the National Guard. Colonel Brooks began his services under the federal government as chief messenger of the War Department, serving under the many secretaries of war from 1881 until President Taft raised him to the position of custodian of the White House, March 4, 1909, a bonded position, and there need be no further citation to prove the respect and esteem he commanded than the fact that he held his position, without further interruption from the date of the original appointment until his rugged health failed him a few months ago. In turn, he served under President William Howard Taft, President Woodrow Wilson, President Warren G. Harding, and under President Calvin Coolidge. Few persons have possessed the ability, tact and force of character to hold with honor a position carrying such intimate contact of great men endowed with such diversified temperaments as these successive presidents of the United States. Colonel Brooks was as fine in his spiritual life as in his civic activities. He was a faithful communicant and officer of St. Mary's Episcopal church, where he worshipped for thirty years, and where his fellow parishioners shall long feel a sense of personal loss in the passing of this splendid Churchman. In Colonel Brooks were combined, with unusual and compelling force, the ability, devotion to duty, charity, spirit culture, which beautified by a sweet, yet dignified personality, made him a gentleman of such charm that people of whatever station, or of whatever race, were proud to know him. His memory shall live long among the multitude of his friends. "ROLL, JORDAN, ROLL!" Washington—The Jordan river will soon be rolling for the benefit of industry. Financial plans for the harnessing have been completed, and the Palestine Electric Corporation, which owns the concession, has been notified that $750,000 is available for the project. This project is part of the plan now being worked out to restore Palestine as the cultural and spiritual home of the Jews, and to bring Jews back to Palestine for industrial and agricultural life. SUMMER SCHOOLS FOR PASTORS OF COLORED M. E. CHURCH Augusta, Ga.—Opening on September 2, and continuing through the 10th, a training school for C. M.

Whole Number 582 DEFENSE NEL ARTHUR ; A HEART VICTIM ASIATIC NATIONS BITTER OVER RACE QUESTION Session of Nations Show Undercurrent of Resentment Towards Interna- tional Racial Prejudice. Tokio, Japan.—(Pacific Coast News Bureau.)—Bitter resentment over the enactment of English and American immigration laws against the Japanese, Chinese, Hindus and other Asiatic nations of the "oppressed" nationalities represented as was predicted by one Japanese newspaper, "The Mikado," in a complete failure of the recent Asiatic congress held in Tokio. Japan. Another paper, "The Osaka Asahi," declares editorially that the guiding principles of the Pan-Asiatic congress were but a rehash of those underlying the league of nations and asks whether these principles truthfully represent the spirit prompting the promoters or whether they really are not a blind behind which an attempt is being made to foment discord and foster revolt. Immigration Laws "Unchristian." Calling the American and Canadian immigration laws as "unchictistian." the Japan-Methodist-Episcapal Mission, one of the most influential mission organizations in Japan, at their annual conference held at the mountain resort of Karuizawa, moved and adopted a resolution which raps the alien ban and seeks to pacify the orientals 'because their offended pride and disillusionment as to America's sense of inter-racial fairness, we have been somewhat able to assuage indignation with the assurance trat whatever unfairness has entered into American legislation will surely be rectified in time when the situation and the implications of the law are more thoroughly understood." The Mission's assurance that the English-American feeling will be rectified is hardly the consensus of opinion in these countries as stated by another paper which sees behind the Pan-Asiatic congress a reiteration of the cry raised at Versailles for racial equality and thinks that the "oppressed nationalities' are becoming afraid that the world is fast becoming a white man's property. "This cannot be tolerated." says this paper, "the demand for racial equality should be kept up. Japan happens to be the strongest nation in Asia, a fact which puts upon her the responsibility of claiming racial equality with especial vigor. Racial equality as a theory will be granted readily enough, but this will not conduce to the well-being and happiness of the colored races. The only way is for everyone to improve his or her own condition and Asiatic peoples, while demanding racial equality should also at the same time make indefatigable efforts to increase their own strength." COLORED FILM STAR MANAGER OF NEW RACE JOURNAL Oakland, Cal.—(Pacific Coast News Bureau.)—The latest of the race journalistic ventures on the coast, "The Western American," of Oakland, has as its business manager a nationally known dramatic and motion picture actor, E. Richards Abrams, a former idol of the eastern theatre goers. Mr. Abrams, best remembered by his leading part opposite Evelyn Preer in the Micheaux film, "The Gunsaulus Mystery," is a native of San Antonio, Tex., which, by the way, is also the home place of another nationally known movie star, Clarence A. Brooks of the Lincoln Motion Picture company. In 1915 Abrams started his theatre career as a juvenile actor in Robert Levy's famous stock troup of Lafayette Players of New York city. Later when Mr. Levy organized the Reel Productions, he selected Mr. Abrams for the leading part opposite Elizabeth Boyer in the Reel Production.

HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man That there is great need for a strong branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Omaha is becoming plainer every day. This is the one organization that has proven itself equal to the task of protecting the Negro in the enjoyment of his civil rights and in securing recognition of his equality before the law. The reason for this is that in numbers there is strength, moral strength and financial strength. Power and influence always command attention and respect. When it was possible, as in the Sweet case, to have a fund of $70,000.00 to pay for legal expense and, if necessary to carry the case up to a higher court it can be readily seen that such an organization was not to be underrated. When the N. A. A. C. P. has a membership of a million, instead of as now, one of 125,000, and a fund of $1,000,000 for legal defense, publicity and the protection of our people in their rights of citizenship, it will be immediately recognized that it will be unsafe to deny the Negro his civil rights or to insult him because of his race and color. The National branch can only be strong in members and financial strength in proportion to the membership of the local branches. Now, if in Omaha, our branch had a membership of 1,500 members and a fund of $1,500 or $2,000 available to employ the best legal talent we could easily combat the spirit of discrimination that is daily increasing in this city. Almost daily we have brought to our attention cases of denial of civil rights by places of refreshment, theatres and like institutions. Objectionable signs are being placed in public places reflecting upon our people. The local branch can do but little to correct these growing evils because of lack of funds and weakness in membership. Where the Omaha branch has 100 members, it ought to have ten times that number. With more than 15,000 Negroes in Omaha, knowing how discrimination is growing it ought to be an easy matter to get a membership of 1,500. Every self-respecting man and woman of the race should be a member of the N.A.A.C.P. in order to maintain and safeguard the citizenship rights we now enjoy and to secure those which are denied. SOMETHING ROTTEN That there is something rotten about the whole affair of that California woman evangelist or religious leader who has gathered to herself such a large following and incidentally collected a huge sum of what is vugarly called jack. The moral and spiritual superiority of which some people prate because of the color of their skin and texture of their hair is receiving a solar plexus blow from many quarters. Let not our people imitate or covet this brand of superiority. Emulate virtue and flee vice. TRUTH COMING OUT The arrest and confession of a white man in St. Louis said to have blackened his face and committed the crime of rape and other crimes and his charge that he is one of a gang who does this thing should open the eyes of those who jump to the conclusion that the Negro is innately a criminal. There have been cases without number disclosed where white criminals have had their faces blackened and threw suspicion on Negroes, who in many cases have suffered at the hands of mobs and of the authorities for crimes which they never committed. Not that there are no Negro criminals; for, alas, much to our regret there are; but that all crimes alleged to be committed by Negroes, because the criminal's face appears to be black, are in reality committed by Negroes is by no means true. This Mississippi white man is frank enough to say that his gang blacken their faces because by this means it is very easy to escape punishment and fix the crime on some Negro. He is to be admired for his frankness. Truth will eventually come out. ASSOCIATED CHARITIES RENDER ASSISTANCE TO 800 NEGRO FAMILIES Large Amount of Work Done Among Our Group by This Important Agency Than Generally SPECIAL WORKER KEPT BUSY Few, if any of our people, or of Omaha citizens in general, for that matter, have any idea of the amount of work done by the Associated Charities, or of the various kinds of service this agency is called upon to render. The average man or woman has no comprehension of the many angles there are to the average case that presents itself to a sincere and intelligent social worker. If the individual who believes that successful social welfare work is easy or quick of accomplishment, he should honestly make a little study of the matter. He will quickly change his mind. It is one thing to render immediate and concrete aid to a needy family and then to relieve oneself of all responsibility thereafter. It is quite another matter to render such immediate aid and then to grapple with the problem and arrive at some wokable plan whereby that family can be made self supporting, either in part or wholly. The Associated Charities has constantly to meet just such problems and a satisfactory solution often means months of close, careful and patient study and work on the part of Mrs. George Doane, executive secretary, and her assistants. The general public thinks that the sole province of the Associated Charities is to give out a bucket of coal and a basket of groceries occasionally. If this were the case social welfare work would indeed be a simple thing and the public would more readily see just where and how its money is spent. But when a social worker devotes months to the rehabilitation of one family, it is very difficult to point out just where there is an adequate return for the money donated by the public and spent by the social workers. But the conscientious social worker is the one who courageously fights through the long and discouraging period necessary to put the individual or the family once more in an independent position. And that in the final analysis is the real objective of social service work. It cannot always be accomplished; sometimes it can be accomplished only in measure. N. A. A. C A joint bu forum of N. A. A. C Guild Room Philip the I Paul street In order not to pauperize those whom it aims to assist, the Associated Charities must consider and solve the problems relating to health, housing, rent, jobs, food, fuel, clothing; the problems relating to marriage, childbirth, divorce, death, emmity, strife, age, natural fitness or unfitness and all the other human conditions and relationships that are so intricately tied together in the strange bundle of life. These workers so often receive criticism and fault finding rather than intelligent co-operation among those who might render them aid in their perplexities. Statistics and figures are considered dry by the average reader, but they are quite necessary to present facts which the public should know. For example, it will astonish many to learn that within a period of six months from January 1 to June 30, 1926, more than 2,000 families were given attention by the Associated Charities and of this number 800 were colored. During this period 3,166 visits were made to homes and nearly 2,000 interviews were held in the office. Mrs. Grace M. Hutten is the special worker to whom is assigned by Mrs. Doane the investigation of cases among our people and like all the others on the staff, her hands are full. Statistics will not prove interesting but the following statement from Mrs. Doane taken from her semi-annual report tells an interesting story: "In reviewing the work of the past six months, so full of interest to those engaged in it, with many an anxious day but never a dull one, the figures will give some idea of the service given. First—Who came to the Associated Charities for help? The destitute, the unemployed, the sick, the undernourished, the crippled, the ambitious, the unfortunate, the incompetent, the wanderer, the irresponsible, the wayward, the delinquent, the crafty, the simple, the misfits, the clean, the dirty, the good and the bad. As a moving picture they present effort and indulence—truth and dishonesty—devotion and neglect—hope and discourage—high ideals and low standards—sorrow and tragedy. Second—What was done for them? If destitute, relief was given; if sick, medical care was provided through the proper channels. So far it is not difficult to render such constructive service that unfortunate conditions will not continue and that dependents may, through their own efforts become independent—this is not a matter of a day's work, but of weeks, months, and sometimes years of service. It seems futile to attempt a report on such services, for totals of telephone calls and inquiries, of visits and relief given, mean so little compared with the urge and struggle—the hopes and disappointments—the slow gains and frequent failures—that follow the efforts to make better homes and stronger personalities. It takes so long to develop character, to overcome unfortunate circumstances and to get a good start toward success that if in a year's work only a good beginning is made, we must be satisfied. Without regard to differences of race, nationality or creed, those who need help have been aided or have had a suitable plan worked out for them, whereby their needs were taken care of. Mrs. George A. Love, 2430 Grant street, has been detained at home this week by illness. ```markdown ``` View of Parler of A joint business meeting and public forum of the Omaha Branch of the N. A. A.

DE MILLE'S 'THE TEN COM- MANDMENTS' A PARAMOUNT PICTURE At the new Lake theater next Thursday and Friday THE MONITOR The DOOM by ARTHUR AUTHOR OF A man in a canoe paddles through a forested river. A light burst upon my added wits, "Why, of course?" I cried. "He was steward under my father, and in his father's time before him! But you?" "Peter was my husband," she said simplly. "Robert here is our grand son. When Peter died your father fered his place to Robert. Robert would have none of it. He had the wandering bee in his bonnet. He wou young, and he must see the world. I wouldn't reake his fortune, too. No life as an estate steward for him." "And wise I was, too, granny," inter- jected Master Jurgins. "Even you will grant that now." "Be not too elevated by your good fortune," she retorted. "Had you follow your grandfather at Foxcroft your counsel might have restrained Master Harry and his brother from their madness—" "I wish it might have." I said bitterly, thinking of Charles' lonely grave on a mist-draped hillside in the Scotch highlands. "Many a gentleman would have taken in bad part such an answer to an offer made in kindness. Master Ormerod. But not your father. No after trying all he could by fair means to dissuade Robert from his course, he asked where his fancies drifted, and then supplied him with money for the voyage to the Western Plantations and to enable him to secure a start. 'Twas that permitted Robert to go overseas and to set himself up as a fur-trader there and afterward to return and establish his business downstairs, which hath grown so that it is more than he can handle. All of it, I say, we owe to you." "All of it, granny," reaffirmed Master Juggins himself. "Y'have not made it one whit too strong for me. But I would find out before we sleep how I may be of ald to Master Ormerod." "Ald?" quoth she. "All that we have in the world is his, if he wants it; aye, the clothes off our backs. Good night to you, Master Ormerod. And remember, this house, poor though it be for your father's son, is to be your home until you have a better." I rose and bowed my acknowledgments, but I could not speak. My heart was too full. Here in this bleak, unfriendly London, which had greeted me with suspicion and persecution, I had found friendship and assistance. It was almost too good to believe. "I have no claim upon you, Master Juggins." I exclaimed as the door closed behind his grandmother. "Remember that. And let me not imperil for one moment two friends of my father, who revere his memory as I had not supposed any did. save myself." He pushed me down into my chair by the fire. "There is no question of claim, sir. 'Tis a privilege. Do you tell me now DO YOU TELL ME NOW OF YOUR PRESENT PLIGHT. of your present plight. Fear not to be frank with me, Master Ormerod. I do not mix in politics. I am none of your red-hot loyalists who would hang a man because he remarks that our worthy king is a Hanoverian by birth. But on the other hand I will have naught to do with these plotters who fume over the exiled Stuarts. "The Stuarts went, sir, because they overtaxed the forbearance of a long-suffering people. They might have returned ere this, as you know, had they possessed the good sense to appreciate what their whilom people required. But they lacked that good sense, Master Ormerod, and with all deference I say to you they will never return unless they learn that lesson very soon." I leaned forward in my chair and interrupted him, the words bubbling from my lips." Continued Next Week W.N.U. SERVICE 1 TRAIL D. HOWDEN SMITH PORTO BELLO GOLD ETC.

Washington—Taking into consideration the fact that time, training and reasonably cheap commercial loans are highly essential to the conduct of successful business enterprises, and that we, as a group, nave had but a short experience in the development of such financial reservoirs as banks and insurance companies upon which our trained and progressive men can draw for the purpose of financing their business ventures and commercial expansion, it is rather encouraging to note the number of colored persons who are engaged as retail dealers in everything from agricultural implements to zithers. The United States Census of 1920 reported 23,526 Negro retail dealers, among whom were 6,339 grocers; 3,009 butchers and meat dealers; 910 druggists; 884 proprietors of general stores; 576 who conducted candy and confectionery stores; 362 dealers in dry goods, fancy goods and notions; 141 dealers in boots and shoes; and 128 merchants who specialized in clothing and men's furnishings. There were also 34 department stores. These pioneers are paving the way for our greater participation in commercial affairs. FOR RENT—One three-room apartment, neatly furnished.
