THE MONITOR tire case, the National Office acting only in an advisory capacity. The Indianapolis segregation ordinance was passed by the city and signed by the Mayor, despite the fact that it was clearly pointed out that it was entirely similar to the Louisville, Ky., segregation ordinance, declared unconstitutional in 1917 by the U. S. Supreme Court in a case won by the N. A. A. C. P. through its president, Moorfield Storey, who argued it. The Mayor of Indianapolis signed the ordinance March 24, and the Indianapolis Branch immediately contested it, resulting in a complete victory. The decision of the Indiana Circuit Court is based upon the decision won by the N. A. A. C. P. in the U. S. Supreme Court in the famous Louisville case in 1917. OLD FOLKS HOME The N. C. W.

LOWMAN LYNCHING PROBE MAKES MISERABLE SPEED Aiken, S. C.—Irritated at the relentless publicity given the state by New York World's exposure of the lynching orgy staged here when the three Lowmans were shot down by a mob after being taken from the jail, Governor McLeod, smarting under the lash, is slowly taking steps for an investigation. In spite of an all too evident disinclination to proceed, the many affidavits, identifying members of the mob that continue to pour into his office, make such a step awkward for the state's chief executive. BETHUNE-COOKMEN DEFEATS EDWARD WATERS Jacksonville, Fla.—Can a Wildcat whip a Tiger? This question was answered Thursday afternoon on Barr's field, when the scrapy Wildcats from Bethune-Cookmen College, Yaytona Beach, shoved, pushed, flopped, rammed, smashed and clawed into submission the heavier but less agile Tigers from Edward Waters College, to the score of 15 to nothing. MOREHOUSE HANDS FISK A 7 TO 6 DEFEAT Nashville, Tenn.—Only one point represented the margin of the Morehouse victory over Fisk in their annual Turkey Day Battle, but it was quite enough for Morehouse and far too much for Fisk, when after sixty minutes of fighting the scoreboard read: Morehouse 7, Fisk 6.

E. Davidson of the Community Chest Campaign Committee aptly calls the task of raising the $430,000 to finance for 1927 the charitable and welfare work of various agencies operating in our city. It is a big job, and is proving a bigger job than it was at first believed it would be, not because it is beyond the citizens' ability, but because of the apathy and indifference, caused perhaps by misunderstanding and lack of knowledge, by such a large proportion of our population. Despite earnest efforts upon the part of hundreds of volunteer workers who have gladly given of their time to canvass the city for subscriptions, the fund is still $60,-000 short of the amount needed. This amount must be raised if the needful work economically planned is to be carried on and can be raised if every one will do his share. Surely the apathy which obtains could not be due to lack of confidence in the splendid outstanding men and women who have accepted the responsibility of seeing that the money given is wisely expended by the various agencies.

Caldwell, Henry Monsky, Mrs. J. W. Towle, Mrs. Arthur Mullen, to mention only a part of the Board of Governors, who devote many hours to this civic duty without one cent of compensation? The apathy is due to lack of information or misinformation. Knowing the generous-heartedness of our own people, we believe that many have contributed to the Chest. We believe that many who can give something have not as yet done so. Nickels and dimes and quarters mount rapidly into dollars. In the effort next week to raise the balance for the Chest we hope that all our people will give something if it be only a dime or a quarter and thereby know that they have had a share in this important work of the community of which we are a part. "Omaha's Big Job" is our job because we are Omahans. PHILADELPHIA TRIBUNE CELEBRATES FORTY- SECOND ANNIVERSAY Philadelphia, Pa.—The Philadelphia Tribune celebrated its forty-second anniversary last week, the celebration taking the form of an "anniversary edition" supplementing the regular 16-page weekly edition with an eight-page pictorial section. It is notable in reviewing this issue that the pictorial section devoted largely to the depiction of evidences of the progress of the race that has made the "Tribune" possible and enabled the publication to grow.

Lillian Evanti, product of Washington's musical circles and a native Washingtonian, scored a distinct triumph at a recital in the Belasco Theatre here recently. Her accompanist was Lydia Mason, who proved unusually sympathetic and artistic. The critic says of her playing "Lento" by Cyril Scott; Poldini's "Japanese Etude," Coleridge-Taylor's "Bamboula" and Werner's "To a Toy Soldier," that she showed pianistic ability. Entire Nation Being Roused Against Lynching Shame Entire Nation Against Ly New York, Dec. 2.—The entire country is being roused to protest against the evils and the shame of lynching, according to reports reaching the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue. Not only has the New York World for 22 consecutive days been conspicuously featuring details of the Aiken, South Carolina, Lynching on its first page, but other powerful and widely read newspapers as well have been taking a hand in the fight. The New York Times, in an article written recently by Savel Zimand, carried a full report on the lynching situation, including a summary of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, the arguments for and against passage, and statistics furnished by the N. A. A. C. P. More recently, in its issue of November 17, the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin carried on its editorial page a long article about lynching, quoting from the N. A. A. C. P. literature, from the New York Times and beginning as follows: "Agitation for Federal anti-lynching legislation has been traced by two recent outrages of peculiarly flagrant nature which added six victims, two being women, to a death list showing a disheartening increase over the figures of the three preceding years****These killings, according to the tabulation made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, bring the total of lynchings this year to thirty-one as against eighteen for the entire twelve months of 1925. The Association has accordingly called on President Coolidge, to urge Congress to take action on the matter which lies within the Federal power." The pressure relentlessly applied by the N. A. A. C. P. for a federal anti-lynching law has penetrated even the lynching State of South REV. J. D. DAVIS DIES IN OKLAHOMA Rev. J. D. Davis, died in Guthrie, Okla., November 28th, 1926, after a long illness. Rev. J. D. Davis was one of the bers of the Mosaic Templars of America in Nebraska for many years, where he lived prior to a few months ago. Grand Master David McQueen of the Mosaic Templars of America, and wife, went to Guthrie, Okla., and attended to the last rites of the deceased. Rev. Mr. Davis was an active member of Mount Moriah Baptist Church of Omaha, Nebraska, until his removal recently to Guthrie, Oklahoma. STUART'S ART SHOPPE Have you visited Stuart's Art Shoppe at 1803 North Twenty-fourth street? A visit there will please you and surprise you. The store has been remodelled and attractively decorated. The Stuarts specialize in Negro art subjects. There you will find pictures of Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Phyllis Wheatley, Toussaint L'Overture and others. Also attractive colored dolls and novelties. They also handle race literature and publications. It will interest you to drop in and get acquainted. ANNUAL SALE AND BAZAAR The Woman's Auxiliary of Saint Philip's Episcopal Church will hold their annual pre-Christmas sale and bazaar at the Jewell building, Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, Thursday, December 16. The people who have been patronizing these sales for years know what beautiful art needle work and fancy and useful articles can be purchased at reasonable prices. Many anticipate making some of their purchases for Christmas gifts at these sales. Remember the date, December 16, and the place—the Jewell building, Twenty-fourth and Grant streets.—Adv. GROWING THANK YOU! Whole Number 593 COURT Being Roused ynching Shame Carolina, where the Columbia State, on November 23, said editorially: "It would be foolish to deny that recent lynchings and especially that of the Lowmans where the mob treated judge and jury with such brutal contempt, furnish advocates of a federal anti-lynching law with a lot of ammunition. Only two classes can defend lynchings—criminals at heart and fools. And when lynchers habitually escape punishment, even prosecution, it is difficult for those who happen to be neither criminals nor fools to extol or defend the legal system under which such practical immunity is possible." A further significant development in the nation-wide campaign against lynching is a debate on the subject of lynching, published in the December number of the Forum magazine, which was also broadcast over the radio on November 23. Commenting on the present situation, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. said: "Whatever the outcome of the campaign of publicity conducted by the New York World and directed into the Aiken lynching situation, one fact stands out. Lynching as an issue has been divorced from the old twaddle about 'the usual crime' of fact stands out, lynching as an isnow squarely before the American people of state inability or unwillingness to proceed against mob murders unless pressure is brought to bear from the outside. In face of the terrific publicity being given this issue it would not seem that Congress, or rather the United States Senate, would dare entirely to ignore it. At all events, the N. A. A. C. P. as heretofore, will hammer away at this issue throughout the country and will again knock at the doors of the U. S. Senate when that body reconvenes." OMAHA BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. ELECTS OFFICERS FOR YEAR At a meeting held at the North Side Branch Y. W. C. A. Sunday afternoon, November 21st, the following officers of the Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C.

DO WE NEED THE MONITOR? Here is a question we would like our readers to answer: Does Omaha Need a Newspaper Like The Monitor? For several years now we have been publishing this medium at a great personal sacrifice because we have believed that we were rendering valuable service not only to our own people, but to the community at large. Whatever helps any portion of the people contributes by so much to the good of the whole. We have strong convictions that every city in which there is any considerable number of our people there is need for a race publication. From the support, as a rule, given to such publications there frequently arises doubts in the mind of the editor as to whether the people agree with him. We believe that with more adequate support The Monitor could be enlarged and improved in many ways and serve its constituency better. What do you think of it, Does Omaha Need The Monitor? Let us have your answer. WHITE'S GOOD WORK Walter White, the fearless assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, has done not only South Carolina but the United States a great service in his investigation of the recent lynching of two men and a woman at Aiken, South Carolina. White, by name, and white in color, although a Negro, this cultured and brave little chap, has again and again taken his life in his own hands, to investigate lynchings. His skill and resourcefulness have been placed in evidence many times, as for example when he was sworn in as a deputy sheriff in Tulsa, immediately after the riot, and gave the inner story of that outrageous affair to the world. He had a narrow escape there, because it was discovered that a "damn white nigger" had been nosing in as an investigator. He got away in the nick of time or his wife might have been a widow and his little daughter, Jane, fatherless. But all this aside. White got facts of the Aiken lynching, including the names of the lynchers, that of the Sheriff and other officers of the law being among them and gave them to the governor. He gave the facts also to the New York World which sent one of its reporters to the scene who substantiated White's finding. Publication of these facts in the World has aroused South Carolina to the evil of lynching in general and that of Aiken in particular which undoubtedly will eventually lead to the suppression of this crime against civilization. It will also have a direct bearing upon the passage of a federal anti-lynching bill which will enable the federal authorities to act where states decline or show themselves either unwilling or incompetent to proceed against mobs. Again Walter White and through him the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has done America a great service in that which must ultimately be, the banishment of mob violence from the United States and the acknowledgment of the supremacy and adequacy of law and the courts to deal with all criminals.

He was not a brilliant student, in fact, his education was very meager, but he was a great Bible student. He grew to have a great hatred for slavery and roamed all over the North helping slaves to escape and preaching against the institution. As he went on, he got more desperate and bold in his fight on slavery, and when the state of Kansas was on the fence and there was a fight on to make it a slave state and voters there were being imported from Missouri to vote for that purpose he organized a force of forty men and met a force of four hundred ruffians at Ossamatomie went of the Missouri line. It is said that these forty men killed or wounded about eighty of their enemy before they were compelled to retreat, with a loss of five killed and eight prisoners.

Hewden Smith THE STORY former slaward of Ormnaroda warner, to former steward of Ormerod's father, to whom Juggina feols himselt indebted Ormerod tells Jugging he has aban- doned the Stuart cause. CHAPTER IL—Juggina tells Or- merod of Jacobite piot in the Amerl- can colonies to ‘weaken England by forwarding. French interests, Their Alms the return of King James to the Engish throne, AU_its head Is one Andrew Murray, a. Scotsman, anda Frenchman, De. Veulle, deadly enemy of Ormerod. The two are In” London furthering their” schemes. Ormerod seox them. “Anticipating the plotters carly return to America, Juggins ar fanges for Ormerod to go. there. with Ietters to Governor Burnet, friend. of Jugeins, and work to foll Murray CHAPTER I1—Disguised as Jue ging servant, Ormerod takes “pasate fovAmerica. “He meets a Scottian girl Gaughter of Murray, and ardent Jac Obite ‘De Veulle recognizes him, and thelr enmity flames.

He beckoned me forward. “Sit here beside us, Master Ormerod —for so T see you are rightly named. although you traveled under Master Juggins’ name. Master Juggins vouches for you. That Is sufficient for me. What say you, Colden?” “Quite sufficient.” agreed the sur. veyor general. “Do you wish me to remain, sir?” ‘Certainly. Glad to have you. Now. Master Ormerod, do you tell us as fully as you may what you know of Murray. Master Jnggins hath slated you for a prominent part. I respect his Judgment, but more than our {m- mediate fortune hinges upon the {ssue ‘of what we do, and T must know all.” I recounted the circumstances of my meeting with Juggins, the hearing be- fore the lords of trade and the in- cidents of the voyage, not forgetting Tom's assault upon me and the strange bargain I had made with Mur- ray. “Then are you sate from denuncta tion,” broke in the governor. “We think Uttle of Hanoverian or Jacobite in New York. Here, Master Ormerod. you will find only Englishmen laboring to wrest a living from the wilderness and to extend their country’s power and richness. What you were matters little. "Tis what you are we judge you by. “The bargain was typical of Murray. He is no ordinary villain. Already he hath persuaded the discontented ele- ments in the province that I would take the bread from their mouths by stopping his trade. But he knows well that I would leap upon the excuse to lay him by the heels, and he will see to it that no suspicion of your past escapes.” “He threatened me with the Red Death this morning.” I sald. “Can you tell me what he meant by !t?” “pis a saying of the frontier,” ex- plained the governor. “They call red- headed Bolling and Murray's negro, ‘Tom, the Red and the Biack Deaths, for Murray is charged with having used them to remove from his path those persons he considers dangerous or whom he honors with his dislike.” “In the crowd I also heard talk of the Doom Trail,” I continued. Governor Burnet smiled grimly. “That is the popular name for the route by which Murray smuggles his trade goods to Canada. ‘Tis said to be the sealing of a man’s doom If he seeks the trail or any information con cerning it.” “Has the traMe been suspended dur- ing Murray's absence?” I asked. “No,” replied the governor. “Boll- ing and Black Robe have kept it in motion.” “And who is Black Robe?” ‘The governor laughed outright. “You are red-hot for dangerous in- formation, Master Ormerod. Black Robe is the Indian's name for one Pere ‘Byacinthe, a Jesutt missionary, who, "according to some of the tales our iene bring, shares with Murray the for coneeption of the conspie ‘acy we are debating. “But where Murray plots for the ‘overthrow of English rule in Ameries fm order to bring back the Jacobites ‘enrich himself; Black Robe's am- fs to establish France as the i es power in the world and to the influence of the by making his religion universal (on this continent as it ts tp South is Black Robe and Murray ir headquarters?” 1 inquired. a of his time in ee ee ee ee not disprove {t. But we think he stays ‘at a station which ts safd to form a depot for the stores smuggled over the Doom Trail. Black Robe Is report- ed to have a chapel there.” “Tis called La Vierge du Bols,” added Colden. “and where ts It?” “If T knew, T should order a levy of the militia and burn ft down at risk of my head,” retorted the governor. “But you must have some Idea where it is?" T pressed incredulously Governor Burnet put down his pipe and unrolled a Inrge scroll map which lay amongst the pipers on the table. “This is New York, Master Ormerod, Our settlements are confined to the const districts, the Island of Nassan (Long {sland)"—he motioned toward the window—“and the valley of Hud- son's river. We have barely begun the task of colonization. There {s room here for every soul in England—and to spare.” With his pipe-stem he pointed to the upper left corner. “All this country is virgin forest. On the north and northwest ‘tis hounded by the inland sea which we call Lake Cadaraqu! (Lake Ontario); to the southeast stretch the Adirondack monntains, Somewhere between those heunlaries runs the Doom Trail. ‘There are thousands of square miles of wilderness to search for {t.” “And the Keepers of the Trail to guard {ts mystery,” put In Colden. “Who are they?" T questioned, as anvious as a small boy for further de talls, “The Ho-nun-ne-gwen-ne-yuh,” he re peated. The Indians are a superst! tious people, and they have come to believe that there Is some supernatural agency behind the Keepers of the Trail. In plain English, they fear the ‘Trail 1s haunted, they tell us, by the False Faces, a race of demons from the underworld, to whom Murray has sold his soni, and that the demons have rallfed to his ald.” “At every turn we run against the shrewdness and wit of this fellow Mur. ray,” exploded the governor. “'Tis at once a tribute to his ability, and per. haps an index to our inferiority, that we have never been able to secure cer tain Information of his operetions,” “Tis evident, your excellency,” I ventured, “that the lords of trade wil! accept only positive evidence that he hath evaded the law.” “That means legal proof of smug- gling,” reflected the governor. “And now that the lords of trade have suspended our Jaw, his operations are no longer fllegal, strictly speak: Ing," said Colden. “But I make no doubt he will continue to handle the bulk of his goods over the Doom Trail. for he will not care to have his dupes in the province realize the enormous tribute they pay France through him.” Governor Burnet brought his fist down upon the table with a thud. “Gadslife!” he swore. “There ts nanght for it but war! We must be after the dog! We must run him down! But we must move unofficially. What say you, Colden?” “We can do nothing with official sup- port,” rejoined the surveyor general, “and ‘tis probable we shall receive the instructions of the lords of trade to suspend the law by the next Bristol packet.” “There can be no question of that,” agreed the governor. “Well, the law shall be suspended. I will have the suspension publicly proclalmed. ‘Then under cover we must concert the meas- ures to be taken. That will be for Master Ormerod. Do you still crave the opportunity, knowing now the full measure of its perils, sir?” “I am more anxious, if possible, str,” T answered. “I speak French suffictent- ly well to pass on the frontier for a Frenchman. As for danger—why, your excellency, the man who has ruined his life can have no fear for it. He has all to gain and nothing to lose.” “True,” assented the kovernor. “But you know nothing of wooderaft or the itfe amongst the savages.” “Master Juggins gave me a letter to one Peter Corlaer, a—" Colden sat suddenly erect. “Peter came this morning with the Seneca chief, 1f your excellency will remember,” “So he did. We will have him in.” Colden went out, and returned at once with two companions. One I rec- ognized, to my amazement, as the In: dian I had befriended an hour or two earlier. He greeted me with a faint smile. To the governor he rendered the splendid arm-high salute, and his deep voice boomed out— “Qua, Ga-en-gwu-ra-go!” — (“Hall Great Swift Arrow”—the Indiuns’ name for the governor of New York. whe ever he might be.) ‘The other man was more like a tay em keeper than a woodsman, At first glance he seemed all paunch, but when sede eee ee ier a eer ak THE MONITOR LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Mrs. Bertha Johnson is confined f home seriously ill with pneumonia, Mr. Jack Johnson has been remoy- ed to the hospital for treatment, W.
