Norris Bill Passage Should Be Defeated LIFTING LIFT TOO FEDERAL RIGHTS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE ENDANGERED Senator Norris Has Introduced Bill Which Practically Destroys Usefulness of District Courts SCOTT POINTS OUT DANGER National Legislation Should Be Carefully Checked, Advises Howard University Official Washington, D. C.—Dr. Emmet J. Scott, member of the advisory committee of the republican national committee, calls attention to the need of a bureau or organization of some character here in Washington to point out, when necessity arises, the character of proposed legislation affecting the interest of the twelve million colored people of the United States. Many an innocent appearing bill, he says, is introduced from time to time, in the house of representatives and in the senate of the United States, having as a legal possibility the setting aside of some basic privileges or immunity designed for the benefit of a particular group or class of people. It is said that there are nearly 300 national organizations maintained at Washington for the purpose of detecting the introduction of such legislation affecting such groups. Recently a bill was introduced in congress which would have removed practically every colored employee from the office of the recorder of deeds if Dr. Scott had not aroused the colored newspapers of the country and influential individuals and organizations, pointing out to them the result of such legislation, if passed. It was only because of the fact that prompt word was sent to the colored newspapers of the country and to the officers of the leading organizations of one kind and another that the effort was thwarted. It now happens that there was introduced in the senate of the United States on February 13, a bill, S. 3151 (Report No. 626), "to limit the jurisdiction of district courts of the United States." While the bill primarily appears to be designed to relieve the heavy dockets of federal courts, it is true, nevertheless, as has been pointed out, that this bill would seriously affect the rights of the colored people of the United States. If such rights should be in any way infringed and colored Americans should bring suit to enjoin action against city or state legislation or against individuals enforcing such legislation when such legislation violates the federal constitution as it affects colored people, jurisdiction will be limited under the terms of this bill and such cases will be referred to state courts for adjudication. If a right under the federal constitution should be lost or violated in any of the states after this legislation has been passed, colored Americans will have to go into the state courts for the adjudication of such rights. Peonage, for instance, could not be interfered with at all by the federal courts if this legislation should pass, the litigant being forced to seek redress before a tribunal and in a community where the offense was actually condoned. The passage of this bill would mean the breaking down of the present legal bulwark of the colored American. Every step possible should be taken at once to prevent such legislation. Recent supreme court decisions, such as the Louisville segregation case, the Oklahoma Grandfather Clausie case, the Texas primary litigation and the Alabama peonage decisions, would all have been decided by state courts if this bill had been in effect. As similar legislation arises in the future it would be limited by the Norris bill to decision by state courts. The bill has already been reported by the judiciary committee of the United States senate. The republican members of this committee are as follows: George W.

ROBERT BAGNALL WILL SPEAK HERE NEXT WEEK Branch Director of National Association of Advancement of Colored People to Visit City Tuesday and Wednesday Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and nationally known as a lecturer, clergyman and man of letters, will arrive in Omaha next Tuesday, to spend two days here in the interest of the N. A. A. C. P. He will hold conferences and address student bodies Tuesday and Wednesday, and Wednesday night at 8 o'clock he will deliver an address at Pilgrim Baptist church, Twenty-fifth and Hamilton streets. Fr. Bagnall has successfully put over several projects by his efforts in the interest and for the advancement of colored people. The Michigan civil rights bill was introduced through his instrumentality. Many cities have benefited by his activity in fighting segregation and upon several occasions he has raised a large amount of the defense fund. This meeting will be held under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The public is invited. NEW ANTI-LYNCHING BILL BEFORE CONGRESS Washington, D. C.—A new antilynching bill was introduced in congress recently by Representative Berger, socialist, Wisconsin. The bill would make it a felony to take part in a mob attack, or a state officer to permit a prisoner to be taken from him. The measure would penalize the county in which the mob attack occurred. Participation in a mob attack would be punishable by imprisonment for from one to five years or a fine of $5,000 or both. An officer who failed to protect a prisoner could be punished by imprisonment of from two to ten years or a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. A county in which a homicide or injury was committed as the result of such an attack would be penalized $10,000, with the sum to be used by the family should he be killed in the attack. N. Y. NEGRO DEMS URGE BLACKS SUPPORT TICKET Buffalo, N. Y.—(ANP)—The National Colored Democratic association, with headquarters here, has broadcast an appeal for Negroes throughout the country to support the democratic ticket in the forthcoming national elections. The call states that Buffalo has been a shrine of Negro democrats since 1872, and that functioning as a group, Negro democrats have put over "big things politically" in various elections and administrations. It is evident from the text of the call that the association, which is seeking a national membership, will work for the nomination and election of Governor Al Smith as president of the United States. braska; William E.

The Monitor is radically an the Norris Bill. Senator Norris of Nebraska has introduced a bill in the United States senate which should be vigorously opposed and ought not be permitted to pass. We sincerely hope that our readers in this state will write to Senators Norris and Howell protesting against this bill and that those of other states will take like action with their senators. The measure is known as Senate Bille 3151, entitled "A Bill to limit the jurisdiction of District Courts of the United States." It is a subtle, vicious and dangerous measure. Subtle in that while it is ostensibly designed to relieve the heavy dockets of Federal courts, it emasculates and practically destroys the constitutional jurisdiction of the United States District Courts which now powerfully safeguard the rights of citizens. As pointed out by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, "the passage of this bill would mean the breaking down of the present legal bulwark of the colored American." Peonage, for example, could not be interfered with at all by Federal courts if this legislation should pass. The insistent agitation for a Federal antilynching law, states now being unwilling or unable to throttle this octopus, shows the necessity for extending federal jurisdiction rather than curtailing it. The centralization of federal authority is a growing desideratum for the United States. This measure is an insidious attack upon federal jurisdiction. Today it may only affect, apparently, the rights of the Negro, because he is one of the minor or weaker groups, but tomorrow the rights of others may be infringed. It is vicious and dangerous. The measure should be opposed, therefore, not only upon this ground but also upon the larger viewpoint and outlook of its nullification of the clearly expressed intention of the constitution, as interpreted from the foundation of our government, that the federal judicial power shall extend to controversies between citizens of the several states. Not less federal jurisdiction, but larger is what America needs for the safeguarding of the legal rights of her humbler, no less than of her most powerful citizens. The Monitor is radically and uncompromisingly opposed to the Norris Bill. CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRL ELECTED MEMBER OF NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Margaret Dallas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Dallas, of 119 North Thirty-seventh street, was one of 42 Central High seniors to be elected to Beta chapter of the National Honor society of high school students, as announced at the mass meeting held in the Riviera theatre last Friday morning. This honor is awarded for outstanding scholarship, character, initiative, leadership and service during the four year course. The National Honor society has 600 chapters and a membership of 20,000 throughout the United States. Central's membership in the society is now 347. Miss Dallas is the first student of our race to be awarded this honor by Central High. Margaret graduated from the 8th grade of Saunders with 9 A's to her credit and at that time won the gold medal for making a perfect score in the music memory contest staged by the Omaha schools. She made the junior honor society last year. She is a member of The Register staff and on the O Book committee, and as announced a few weeks ago in The Monitor, was elected to membership in Quill and Scroll, the honor journalistic fraternity, for outstanding work in journalism during the senior year. Margaret plans to enter Iowa State university in September. N. A. A. C. P. ATTACKS SEGREGATION IN U.S. VETERANS' BUREAU New York, N.

S. Veterans' Bureau. The N. A. A. C. P. letter protesting and attacking the segregation of Negro ex-soldiers, is as follows: "The Wichita, Kansas, branch of this association has forwarded to this office a copy of a letter written by you to Rep. W. A. Ayers on April 17, referring to the charge that two colored war veterans had been denied urgent and necessary hospital treatment in Wichita by reason of segregation of colored from white patients and the consequent limitation of facilities for the Negro veterans. "Your letter admits that such segregation is practiced by the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, and the implication is clear that even though there may have been ample room in the white section, these colored veterans would still have been denied treatment. "The question of segregation of colored United States citizens in the employ of the United States government is now very much to the fore. Secretary Hoover has just abolished it in his department. Secretary Work has also abolished it. The Postmaster General is investigating complaints of segregation in the Post Office department, as is the secretary of war. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is prepared to make an issue of the outrageous discrimination which your letter plainly admits as having occurred in the section of the United States Veterans' Bureau in Wichita, Kansas, and unless this policy is discontinued we shall place the facts in the hands of such members of congress as may be interested in the situation, as well as in the possession of newspaper editors throughout the country. "It goes without saying, it seems to us, that men who risk their lives and suffer injury and disability for their country ought not to be subjected to the small-minded treatment which your letter openly condones." WOMEN'S NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS Washington, D. C.—For the first time since its organization in this city 31 years ago, the National Association of Colored Women will meet this year in Washington, during the month of August. This association redeemed and renovated the Frederick Douglass home at Cedar Hill, and made it a national shrine for our group. They are coming now to dedicate the beautiful building purchased for national headquarters of the association; and also to open the caretaker's house at Cedar Hill, Anacostia, D. C. Vol. XIII—No. 44 PROTECT OUR GIRLS Washington, D. C.—A girl who must leave school before she has reached her maturity, says Miss Mary Anderson, director of the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, is running the risk of losing the chance to develop her fullest possibilities. If she is forced to take employment where hours are long and work is heavy or monotonous, where pay is low and working conditions are bad, both her health and outlook on life will suffer. NEGRO TOTAL IN NEW YORK CITY NOW 259,000 Survey Reveals $19.75 As Average Weekly Income of Average Family With Rent of New York, N. Y.—The race population of New York City is now 259,800, according to estimates contained in the annual report of the New York Urban league, 202-204 West 136th street, which has just been made public. Arthur C. Holden, chairman of the executive board, writes in the foreword of the report: "The Urban league rests upon the foundation that it is to the best interests of both races to co-operate for the betterment of the Negro. Through long restraints imposed upon him he stands today handicapped and often disheartened. The Urban league movement asks white and colored to co-operate intelligently to see that he gets 'not alms,' but opportunity." The annual report points out that in 1910 the Negro population of New York City was 1.9 per cent of the total and today it is more than 4 per cent, distributed as follows: MANHATTAN Harlem 170,000 Columbus Hill 10,000 West Nineties 4,000 East Nineties 4,000 Longacre 5,000 Kipps Bay 1,500 Greenwich 800 BRONX 8,000 QUEENS 15,000 RICHMOND 1,500 BROOKLYN 40,000 Intensive block studies made by the league for the state housing commission show, the report says, that for 2,700 Harlem tenants the average weekly income of heads of families is $19.75 and that the average rental is $41.14 a month. "The plight of the Negro laborer," the report says, "is still one of the tragedies of our social and economic system. He is forced to work at unskilled jobs, irrespective of his training, often at a lower wage, and usually paying more for a place to live and rear his children." The report declares that the study of income and rents referred to above has been used as a basis of wage adjustments for Negro workers by two large institutions. Plans are not yet complete for the readjustment and hence the names are kept secret. NEGRO VOTE MORE INDEPENDENT—SELIGMANN New York, N. Y.—In an article on The Negro's Influence as a Voter, published in the May number of Current History, (Times Square) Herbert J. Seligmann, director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, analyses the drift of Negro voters toward independence of rigid party allegiance. The colored machine politicians in Washington "no longer control the situation among colored voters as it was once supposed they did," says Mr. Seligmann. "An agitation has been going on, widespread and insistent, among Negroes throughout the country in favor of a more independent ballot. . . . Even republican congressmen have been advising Negroes publicly to watch their representatives on specific issues affecting the Negro race and to hold those representatives, whether republican or democrat, strictly to account." Whole Number 6654 efeated COLORED RACES IN FREEDOM STUGGLE, STATES EX-KAISER Emancipation Fight of Subjugated People Seen as Restiveness Spreads Throughout World WHITE NATIONS FACE TEST Necessity Imperative for All Races to Have Common Respect for Culture and Contributions of Others Doorn, Holland. — "The struggle for emancipation of the colored races is in full progress. If the ruling nations of the white races refuse to recognize this movement perilous for them, they have only themselves to blame, for in the future they will be forced to face terrific conflicts with the colored nations. "This," the former emperor Wilhelm Hohenzollern remarked, his eyes blazing, "is not a theoretical discussion. Turn to any part of the world." The emperor fingered a globe standing on his desk. "There is trouble going on or trouble brewing in every continent. Look at China, look at India, look at Africa, or even at the home of the Malay races, Java and the Philippine islands. "The din of strife marks the beginning of a gigantic battle. I predicted this struggle many years ago when I was on the throne. I believed even then that it was unavoidable. But had I been listened to it would have been possible at least to postpone it and relieve it of its venom. "In order to prevent a disaster to civilization, two things were and are necessary. First, solidarity of the white races; second, respect on the part of the white races for the culture of other races. White Solidarity No Longer Exists "The world war has shown that the solidarity of the white races, to which I appealed when I made my sketch urging the nations of Europe to guard their most sacred possessions, no longer exists. This fact intensifies the difficulties confronting the empires possessing colonies. Sees Injustice of Oppression "The white race has no right to suppress the legitimate yearning and aspirations of the colored races—especially concerning social equalities in society—merely because of their superiority in technique and material. "Every nation must learn to respect the innate rights of every other nation which possesses a culture rooted in its own soil and which has played a part in the evolution of mankind. It is incumbent upon all of us to respect the autochthonous traditions and institutions of others, so spoke a man who was at one time the world's most powerful ruler. Sees Rigid Test for Whites "Each race has the right to bring its own gift to others. It may be a benefit to the world to spread white civilization. It may be the duty of the white races to communicate that civilization to other parts of the world, but we have no right to force our own idiosyncrasies upon others. Our civilizing activity must never be a camouflage for imperialism and industrial greed, conquest and slavery. "The present policy of most great nations is entirely dictated by selfish and short-sighted motives. As a result, the world will be subject to heavy repercussions which will place the white races under a severe test. "Racial self-consciousness may well go hand in hand with respect for the rights of other races. In fact, racial self-consciousness, based on the spirit of our culture, teaches us to respect the same consciousness in others."

HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man A RACE CONGRESSMAN FROM ILLINOIS The death of Congressman Madden insures the election of a Negro congressman from the district which he so long and eminently represented in Illinois. The only reason that the district has not, long before this, chosen a representative of our race was the loyalty of our group to Congressman Madden, who was so eminently fair and broad-minded in his attitude towards and dealing with our people. Undoubtedly there will be some dissatisfaction with the choice of Oscar DePriest by the committee as the nominee, the feeling being that Dawson, who polled such a heavy vote in the primary, was the logical candidate. This is our own opinion.

This is a statement that was made the other day. It is said that one of these is on South Thirteenth street, one on South Fourteenth street, one on Cuming street and six on North Twenty-fourth street. If this be true we cannot but believe that they exist with the knowledge of the police authorities and of the sheriff's office. If these places are being operated they are being run in violation of the laws of this state. Such places are not beneficial to our people, but detrimental. Unless their consciences are seared, those who run them, if they will honestly state their convictions, will admit that they do a vast deal of harm. They make money for a few higher-ups and go-betweens, while the patrons of such places are impoverished. People who think and the honest, upstanding, hardworking, self-respecting members of our race in this city want such places closed and kept closed.

While all America and the whole world joined in acclaiming the brave aviators on their success, the outstanding fact was evidenced that racial pride played quite a part in the glory and honors of the triumphant trio—Capt. J. C. Fitzmaurice, Irish, and Capt. Koehl and Baron Huenefeld, Germnas. The facts of their racial identities have been advertised and emphasized all over the world and Germans and Irishmen everywhere—the world over have taken exceptional pride in the achievement of their racial representatives. Those who are ashamed to be identified with and be proud of their racial identity, or those counterfeit souls, who, for one reason or another, desire to "pass" for what they are not; or those who are ambitious to be known under various aliases or disguises should see that racial identity means much to a race; and most especially if that race has been held in public contempt or widespread prejudice has been rife against it. Be proud of your race and your race will make you proud of it.—Chicago Bee. CLARENCE DARROW AND THE NEGRO Speaking before the Washington, D. C., branch of the N. A. A. C. P. a few Sundays ago, Clarence Darrow, the noted criminal lawyer of Chicago, took a fling at the church and the Christian religion for not doing more for its most consistent and devoted element, the Negro race. He accuses the influence and practice of the white part of Christendom of setting up an artificial barrier between those Race Pride whose skin is of a darker hue and those who are lighter, calling the latter "superior." He arraigns the Deity for His apparent disinterest in whatever happens to his colored children and directly lays the blame for their hindrance in the way of their civic and economic advance in the world to the bad faith and indifference of the Deity. He says that if there is a God, He must be white because He seems to use the white race for His favorite agents on earth to propagate His doctrines. He then simmers his argument down to this simple advice: that it would be far better for us as a people to do less praying and worshipping the "unknown Deity" and get out and do more hustling for our own social and economic advancement. With the purpose and end Mr. Darrow has in mind, we all heartily agree. But with the method of reaching that end as advanced by him, we differ. Mr. Darrow, as you know, is an agnostic and speaks from that viewpoint. An agnostic is on who professes ignorance of the existence of any Deity or any life after this one on earth. The word "agnostic" comes from a combined Greek word meaning "know not." Let us not confuse the agnostic with the atheist. The latter denies absolutely the existence of God while the former professes to not know whether there is a God. Granting that we are hindered by those who champion the Christian faith in getting our just share of the world's material benefits, we cannot afford, nay, more, even consider throwing to the winds our faith in God and the efficacy of the Christian religion upon which our consolation rests. We attribute our material shortcomings, not to the nonexistence of God, nor to the ineffectiveness of the religion He founded, but rather to the lack of the true Christian spirit in many of those who are chosen to carry the gospel. For example, we elect congressmen for the purpose of enacting laws for our civic betterment. They go about this in their own way. This way may prove to be as it is the case in a majority of instances, quite contrary to good and sound judgment. But we cannot throw away our belief in this method of enacting laws. A democratic form of government means a government of, for, and by the people. We have here in the United States that kind of government.

The same reasoning must be brought to bear upon the Christian faith. We cannot throw away our very foundation of life—faith in God—for material accumulations—the imperishable for that which perishes. Mr. Darrow is a much better Christian than he is willing to admit, because Christianity is best manifested by the deeds we do, and not by the profession we make. Mr. Darrow is a materialist and sees things through material eyes only. The Negro is fundamentally a spiritualist and believes in eternal reward in the future life. No one doubts Mr. Darrow's personal interest in the colored race. We are indeed grateful that we have a Darrow with us who is candid enough to speak his mind on thesq matters. Much of what he says we shall appropriate to daily life, but we must point any doubter of the existence of God to what he sees around him in the material manifestation of His wonderful presence in the grass that grows, the astral phenomen of the heavens, the animal life which is beyond man's understanding.

J. Powell)—Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Chenault celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary Sunday evening, April 29, at their beautiful home in Sheridan Gardens. Both Mr. and Mrs. Chenault are former Omahans, and were married in 1903. Mrs. Chenault, who was Miss Eva Watson, was raised and educated in that city. Mr. Chenault is a native of Kentucky, a fact which is borne out, as his friends say, by his good judgment of Kentucky products. Immediately after their marriage the happy couple established their home in Sheridan, being among the first of our group to settle in this section of the state. An interview with Mrs. Chenault by the writer revealed the fact that she was a maid of honor at the wedding of the Rev. John Albert Williams, editor of The Monitor, and Mrs. Williams, which she recalls as a very brilliant occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Chenault have one son, John Watson, who this year finishes his sophomore medic year at the medical school of the University of Minnesota. The couple were the recipients of many beautiful silver gifts. Among the friends who spent a pleasant evening at their home were Mr. and Mrs. Al Shute, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Newsome, Mr. and Mrs. Al Bell, Miss Virginia Bell, and Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Powell. AVERAGE WEEKLY DEATHS Washington, D. C.—In many ways the colored population of the city of KWANG T Chop Suey . .

M. JACKSON 1817 Phonographs and Records PAGE THREE PAGE FOUR Kings are like other human beings. They need to be washed occasionally. Even when they exist only in bronze King Henry VII has his tomb in Westminster abbey. Nobody ever paid any attention to the grave. The monument was considered to be of no importance, historically or esthetically. From this opinion to the belief that King Henry VII did not amount to much as a monarch, was only a step. Somebody had the notion to clean the tomb a short time ago. The stone was scrubbed and the bronze polished up. Great surprise. The sculpture was discovered to be the magnificent work of an Italian artist, Pietro Torregiano, of whom Kipling speaks in his novel. "Just So." Since that time thousands of visitors to the abbey have asked to see the masterpiece and book publishers report that there has been a sudden demand for works on Henry VII. Henry might be recognized, one of these days as a great king, thereby establishing that fame depended on a little bit of soap—Pierre Van Paassen, in the Atlantic Constitution. Left Freak Songbird Guessing as to Class People who know Mr. Gatti-Casazz director of the Metropolitan opera know he has a positive talent for dealing with bores. Here is the new est story they are telling in musical circles about him: One of his songbirds, a man not a bit lacking in self-assurance, has a voice of peculiar range. He started as a tenor, changed his mind and register and warbled for a while as a baritone and then actually sang as a basso. One day he cornered the busy Mr. Gatti and edged him into an audition chamber at the ope a house. First he sang his tenor notes, then his baritone, then rendered a few bars basso profundo. After which he drew him self up and with the utmost pride demanded: "Tell me, am I a tenor, a baritone or a basso?" "No!" roared Gatti, selzing his hat and leaving the room—New York Sun Chilly Forecast The earth is growing in bulk on account of the meteoric dust that falls on it. It has recently been estimated that 100 tons fall daily over the surface of the globe and that millions of years hence this will have increased the thickness of the earth considerably. This would have a tendency to bring us closer to the sun. But centrifugal force is augmented at the same time in greater proportion and counters this tendency; consequently the earth would be swept away from the sun, with the result that its distance from that body would be considerably augmented. This is spoken of as having possibly happened to some of the larger, outer planets—notably Jupiter—in the remote past. Why Bishop Ouit Betting That he spoke from experience when denouncing betting, was the declaration of Stirling Woolcombe, bishop of Whitby, at a meeting in York, England, recently. "While at Oxford I was lucky and became extremely interested," he said. "My last bet was ten shillings on a five-to-one winner of the Chester cup, yet my friend and I resolved after the race never to bet again, not because we had lost—we had won a considerable sum—but be cause we were finding out that when betting enters into you it saps your highest interests. I believe It would have driven me to hell if I had gone on with it." Odd Reason for Delay Mr. Jones rang the bell at the new doctor's house. Usually he went to his old family doctor, but the new man happened to live nearer and it was an urgent call. The doctor's wife answered the ring "You wish to see the doctor?" she said "Couldn't you come tomorrow morning? "Why," said Jones. "Isn't the doctor in?" "Oh, yes, he's in," said the woman wistfully, "but you're his first patient, and I'd like you to come as a surprise for him tomorrow. You see, it's his birthday." Ancient English Dance In the English morris dance, which evolved from the sword dance, swords are discarded for sticks or handkerchiefs. The morris men, six in number, are dressed in short trousers and jerkins adorned with bright-colored ribbons, gay rosettes, flowers and greenery. They wear a pad of bells on each knee. The dance is usually done in the spring, especially during Whitsun week. Years ago the men in it blackened their faces to disguise/themselves, which made them look like Moors, and this led to the dance being called Morisco, and later morris Only in Spots Man is well on in the scientific plane of thinking, but he is not scientific all over and through and through, so to speak. There are large areas in him that are primitive, ancient and medieval; he walks about with vestigial and atavistic mental as well as physical organs and processes. He carries in him not only the Twentieth century, but probably all the centuries that have gone before, since the beginning of life. Consequently, he is Twentieth century only in a spot of two.—Plain Talk Magazine. No Way of Recovering Punctuality in daily life is of prime importance to the individual who would succeed, points out an editorial in Liberty Magazine. "Punctuality," warns the editorial, "is a business asset. If you have an appointment with a man and are ten minutes late, you lose. You have made a big mistake. If the appointment is with your wife or sweetheart, to meet her in the lobby of the Whoisis theater at 2:30, and you get there at 2:35—well, it makes the matinee considerably less pleasant. If the lady in the case is your best girl you probably won't be late anyhow. But she may keep you waiting; that is just discipline. "But, on the whole," concludes the editorial, "If you and everybody would go through life five minutes ahead of time, the course of things would be much more pleasant. Desires would be fulfilled more swiftly and success would be more willing to perch on the proper banners. We have a definite capital of time—just so much in a day or a week or a year. It is just as bad to waste money or health. The rewards of conserving it are just as sure, and the penalties of not doing so just as inevitable." Statue's Golden Head Hannibal Tosch, a wealthy Italian who died recently, is said to have acquired his wealth in a most romantic way. Years and years ago there was erected on a highway near Naples a stone which bore this inscription in French: "On the first of May in every year at six o'clock in the morning I have a golden head." For many years persons flocked to the scene at the appointed hour for the purpose of witnessing some miracle, until finally as nothing ever happened, they concluded it was a fraud and no attention was paid to it One morning in 1841, Tosch, then a bad, happened along and an idea occurred to him. So on the succeeding May day he was on the spot at six o'clock in the morning and dug a hole at the point where the shadow of the head of the monument fell. Soon he discovered an old leather knapsack which was filled with gold amounting in value to $0,000 francs. Old Belief a Myth There is a popular belief that a dog is not permitted to cross large bridges, such as the Brooklyn bridge, because of the vibration and consequent danger to the bridge that its regular and even tread would cause. Of course it is a myth. It is based on the same theory that one soldier walking over such a bridge in regular step would produce more vibration than a regiment of soldiers marching "rout step." For the reason when troops march over a bridge the officer gives the order "rout step." If all the men kept step on a long bridge the vibration would be considerable and might cause danger. But a cat or dog would have no appreciable effect on a large modern bridge. He Had Tried It Mother is fond of pointing a moral when she tells stories, but young Clifford is not always properly impressed. One morning when she was uncertain whether or not he would relish the nourishing cereal she had prepared for him, she began telling him a story as she dressed him, a story about a big, healthy boy who was big enough to go to school. "And," she said in an impressive tone of voice, "what do you suppose this fine, big boy had for breakfast? In the uncanny wisdom of three years, Clifford replied: "Oh, I know. Something he didn't like, but it was very, very good for him." Junior's Discovery Walter, Junior, persisted in sucking his thumb. His mother had made small progress in breaking the habit, when his grandmother decided to take a hand. One night, as she prepared him for bed, she surreptitiously annointed his thumb with a harmless, ill-tasting drug. She tucked him into bed and returned to the living room. Soon she heard a startled and insistent wall. "Grandmother, come here. My thumb thimeth green and tathth thomthawing awful." Which Paper Is That? Toots was the sort of twenty-year-old maiden who believed anything and that the moon was made of green cheese. She was famous for that. One evening at a social gathering Toots was harkening to the speech of a new bride who said she was going to join the Eastern Star, as it was an excellent organization. Toots blinked her eyes comprehendingly and asked. "Is that a newspaper?" Early English Coinage A penny of gold, struck during the reign of Henry II, was England's first gold coin. Edward I followed with silver half-pennies and farthings, for the first time made round instead of square. Then, in succeeding reigns followed the gold florin and noble, the silver great and half-great. Edward IV added the gold angel and half-angel and in Henry VII's reign came the sovereign, double and half-sovereign and the testoon, or shilling, of silver. THE MONITOR Mrs. Caroline Pullen, 82, died at 6:10 a. m. Monday at their home, 2000 T street, after about a year's lingering illness. She is survived by her husband, Archie, and four children. The funeral was held in Quinn chapel Wednesday at 2 p. m., the Rev. M. C. Knight officiating. Misses Thelma Hammond, Evelyn Johnson and Henry Botts, jr.,were in attendance at the Y. W. C. A. meeting at Omaha, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Miller, Misses Evelyn Johnson, Zanza Hill, and Mr. P. M. E. Hill delighted a crowded church of white people at Nebraska City last Friday night in a musical and literary program. The affair was sponsored by the church, of which the Rev. I. B. Smith is pastor. Mr. Paul L. Moore died at his home, 2142 South Eighth street, at 3 a. m., Tuesday, after several months' illness. He leaves as survivors a loving wife, a sister, other relatives and friends. We remember Mr. Moore as having met a serious accident while he worked at the shops in Havelock, in which he had his leg smashed by a large crane, and had several operations performed on it at several hospitals. Lastly, he was forced to use his crutches in going about his duties. These misfortunes undoubtedly brought on other diseases, when he became bedfast and which caused his death. The funeral was held at Henry Brown undertaking parlors on Thursday afternoon. Rev. I. B. Smith officiated. The Masons had charge of the services. Rev. S. H. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson of M. E. church, left Monday for their annual conference at Kansas City, Kansas. They drove to their destination by automobile. Rev. H. W. Botts and Mrs. Botts returned home Sunday morning from St. Joseph, Mo. Services were well attended at Mount Zion Baptist church Sunday. The pastor delivered a special sermon, "Go to High School and to College," for the benefit of students. It was an instructive talk. Next Sunday, May 6, will be the closing of the financial rally, and services will be held the entire day. New York, N. Y.—An article on The American Occupation of Haiti by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is being distributed for release by the Cosmos Newspaper Syndicate of New York. In the article, the N. A. A. C. P. secretary attacks the proposed new Haitian land law on the ground that it would despoil the natives of their land and would make them a landless proletariat at the mercy of American exploiters. U. S. OCCUPATION OF HAITI TO END IN 1936, SAYS BORNO Port au Prince, Haiti — United States occupation of Haiti will end in 1936, and the Haitian government itself will be regularized in 1930 by a national election. President Borno promised categorically recently in his annual message to congress. The statement caused a profound sensation here and was expected to quiet charges that Mr. Borno planned to establish a permanent dictatorship under American protection. President Borno told congress he positively would leave office in 1930 and restore full popular government.
