Hoover Speech Lauded as Masterpiece LIF LIF State Historical Boc. $2.00 a. RACE PRESS WARMLY COMMENDS HOOVER'S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH Favoring His Stand in General They Are Especially Pleased With His Statements Concerning Equal Opportunity CATCHES RACE IMAGINATION Washington, D. C., August 30—Wholesale approval was accorded the acceptance speech of Herbert Hoover, republican nominee for the presidency of the United States, by colored editors throughout the country. While they favored his stand in general they especially commend him for his position with respect to equal opportunity for all Americans, irrespective of race, color or creed. The editor of the Philadelphia Tribune found favor with the program for the promotion of business and prosperity but concerning the declaration about equal opportunity pointed out: "Mr. Hoover, in his acceptance speech, touched the thing nearest to our heart. The biggest thing, and the most important thing which confronts the American Negro today, is his lack of opportunity to develop into a well rounded American citizen. If Herbert Hoover will use his high office, when elected, to the end that the American Negro would have even a semblance of equal opportunity, he would stand equal with Abraham Lincoln, the greatest of all Americans." Mr. Hoover made his position very clear in his acceptance speech concerning equal opportunity and pointed out in a forceful manner that he favored equal opportunity for all and declared it a right of every American citizen. Down in Virginia, the editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide expressed his view as follows: "Candidate Hoover's acceptance speech, delivered last Saturday, contained a note that should be reassuring to the under privileged and disadvantaged classes of American citizens. In spite of Mr. Hoover's assertion that this country is the most prosperous on the face of the earth, it is clear from his vigorous declaration in favor of equal opportunity for all Americans that he recognizes that there are in our social, economic and legal system certain drawbacks to full enjoyment of the fruits of labor and pursuit of happiness." While the foregoing comments are typical of many, there were editors who were concerned with the entire address. The editor of the Louisville Leader pointed this out: "The address reveals statesmanship of the highest order, a statesmanship which causes not only the importance of the economic phases of the condition of America, but can look beyond these and discern the relation of sound economic conditions to happy homes and spiritual well being. Here Mr. Hoover touches the heart of the great mass of voters." The Detroit Independent editor took still another turn and in addition to commending Herbert Hoover as the logical man for the presidency of the United States, issued the following warning to the colored voters of the republic: "Al Smith is all right in New York as governor, but will be all wrong in Washington as president, under the influence of Blease, of South Carolina, Harrison of Mississippi, Hefflin of Alabama, and associated with Robinson of Arkansas as vice president." According to the editor of the Houston Informer, Herbert Hoover "demonstrated beyond the shadow of doubt or peradventure that he is a statesman of the first rank and well qualified to direct the ship of state for the next four or eight years." From Denver came the declaration that "the Colorado Statesman is in absolute accord with Mr. Hoover's pronouncement concerning EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. No American citizen should aspire for more than an equal opportunity in the race of life and none should be denied less. Such sentiments publicly expressed and broadcast will be studied and appreciated by citizens of all sections, vocations and political affiliation." THE MONITOR APPOINTED DISTRICT MANAGER BY BEE-NEWS Hearst Newspaper Adopts Policy Found Successful in Several Other Metropolitan Cities In keeping with the policy of the Hearst publications in other cities to employ whenever and wherever practical members of the race in responsible positions, the Omaha Bee-News has appointed Mr. M. C. "Toby" James as one of its district managers of circulation. Mr. James' district embraces the territory bounded by the river on the east, 33rd street on the west, Cuming on the south, and Binney on the north. It is, as will be seen, quite a large and important district and will require a number of wide-awake, dependable and alert carriers. This offers an excellent opportunity for many of our boys. The Bee-News has hitherto employed a limited number of colored boys as carriers. This number will now be increased as qualified boys are found. It will be Mr. James' policy to endeavor to make his district one of the best in the city. A large number of our people are residents of the district, constituting probably about 40 per cent of the population, and it is confidently believed that they will show their appreciation of this recognition of our group by their liberal patronage of the Bee-News. Mr. Smith, general director of circulation for the Hearst newspapers, is authority for the statement, that in several large cities where Negroes are employed as District or Station managers, they have proven very successful. For example, Baltimore has five such employees, the youngest of whom has served for seven years, and another, who has been in the employ of the company for forty years, has served for twenty-one years as district manager. TALENTED DRAMATIC READER WILL GIVE RECITAL FRIDAY NIGHT J. Ernestine Wyatt, a talented dramatic reader, poetess and enactor of plays, will be heard in recital at St. John's A. M. E. Church next Friday night, under the local management of Mrs. Rafferty. Miss Wyatt has high testimonials from outstanding critics of both races for her ability as an entertainer. Dorothy Dix, in complimenting her, says: "Your repertoire is second to none that I have ever heard." Kelly Miller speaks of her as "a reader of rare charm and beauty." The Evening Courier of Waterloo, Ia., says: "Miss Wyatt possesses unusual ability in her field and through discriminating selection and distinctive talent, gives to her work quality that is unusual." Those who attend St. John's next Friday night have a rare treat in store for them. HEAD OF COLORED PYTHIAN FRATERNITY FOR HOOVER S. W. Greene, of New Orleans, La., supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the World, representing a membership of more than 300,000 colored Pythians, is for Herbert Hoover, he stated in a telegram received by A. L. Holsey, secretary of the colored voters' division of the republican national campaign committee organization. BOSTON PHYSICIAN TO SUPPORT SMITH Boston, Mass.—Dr. William Worthy, a well known an dinfluential colored physician of this city has resigned from the republican city committee and announced his intention of supporting Governor Smith for president. In giving his reasons for leaving the G. O. P., Dr. Worthy said: "I believe Governor Smith to be an honest and efficient public servant, and his record speaks for itself. There is no doubt in my mind that the republican party has broken faith with our group, and that our only means of redress is to use our ballot against the party." Omaha, Nebraska, Friday, August 31, 1928 Several of our young women, trained in our splendid public schools and colleges and holding certificates certifying that they are qualified to teach in Nebraska, are leaving the city to resume positions in southern schools or to take positions for the first time as teachers in southern schools, because those in authority in the city of their nativity and training have refused to give them like opportunities here. Since there can be produced no valid argument against the appointment of some of our young women, who measure up to every intellectual and moral standard demanded for the position sought, to the teaching corps of our city, numbering approximately 1,500, we can ascribe the refusal only to prejudice or cowardice. For more than seven years we have been among those who have striven to have our city return to the position which she once occupied among the broad-visioned and progressive cities of our land in giving our people, who are taxpayers and support our public schools, representation on the teaching force and among other school employees. This request has been met with evasion, particularly upon the part of one influential individual which, to put it mildly, was disappointing. There seemed to be what is commonly called a "passing the buck." Some members of the Board of Education admitted, severally and individually, to us and others that the request was just, and that, individually, they were favorable; but that is as far as matters would seem to go. It must certainly be realized upon the part of any fair-minded person, of whom there are doubtless many in this city, that a policy of this kind lends little encouragement either to pupils or their parents to make the sacrifices which they, in many cases are compelled to make, to prepare themselves for such work, if they must always be compelled to leave home to secure employment. This is too obvious to require further argument. Nor does this policy enrich the cultural life of our city or group, but to the contrary it impoverishes it. No progressive, forward-looking and fair-minded community could wish this disadvantageous condition to continue. Inasmuch as it is within the power of our local educational authorities to prevent this pathetic and unjust condition we again make an earnest appeal to them in the name of justice and equity to see to it that appointments are made at the earliest opportunity of some of our well-qualified young women who have fulfilled all the conditions required by the State to teach in the public schools of Nebraska. REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR COLORED LEAGUE New York City—Ralph E. Mizelle of this city has been named for regional director of the Smith-for-President Colored league for the eastern division. This area includes the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Mr. Mizelle is well known in Harlem, where he has been active politically. He is a lawyer with offices at 200 Broadway. KLAN AGAINST SMITH Louisville, Ky.—The National Fraternal Weekly, organ of the Ku Klux Klan, which includes the Negro in its bigoted attacks, is advertising United States Senator Heflin to speak on Labor Day in this city. The publication recalls in the article the trouble which arose August a year ago under the democratic regime when the Klan held a parade. "That affair resulted in a sweeping victory at the polls at the following election and Charles J. Cronan, political boss of the Knights of Columbus, was made to walk the line. The G. O. P. victory followed in city, county, and state," recites the National Fraternal Weekly. The general impression here is that the Klan is lined up against Smith and the Negro and supporting the republicans. PHILLY HOSPITAL DRIVE PASSES GOAL Philadelphia, Pa. — The campaign of Mercy hospital, which campaign had been extended ten days, for a fund of $200,000 for a new nurses' home, ended with a total pledged of over $355,000. More than one hundred colored people enlisted in an effort to raise the amount of money. Two hundred fifty white workers were also engaged in the work. Many persons gave large sums of money, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Deane, well known in social work, donating two thousand dollars. ENDORSES PORTERS' UNION New York, N. Y.—According to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the Travelers Protective Association of America, New York division, has indicated through William F. Dimelow, railroad chairman, that it is sympathetic with the fight of the Pullman porters for a living wage, and offers support. Philadelphia, Pa. — Mercer L. Lewis, a popular attorney of this city, has been named state organizer of the Smith - for - President Colored league. He plans conducting an active campaign throughout Pennsylvania. Mr. Lewis recently ran independently for city magistrate, and polled a good-sized vote. PREDICT NEW POLITICAL OPPORTUNITY FOR NEGRO Washington, D. C.—Heralding a new day in political opportunity and leadership for the Negro, editors of various weeklies have commented widely and favorably upon the personnel selected to direct the republican campaign among colored voters. Pointing out that business, professional, educational and religious interests as well as those purely political, comprise the colored voters' division of the Republican National Campaign committee this year, the belief is advanced by numerous papers that the campaign will be conducted upon a high plane and give an opportunity for self expression to every phase of life within the group JULIAN IN NONSTOP FLIGHT TO ROME Detroit, Mich.—Backed by a group of the most influential colored people in this country, Herbert Julian, aviator, is shortly to attempt a flight across the Atlantic ocean to Rome, a nonstop flight, in an endeavor to show that the colored aviator is the equal of the white, in ingenuity, daring and courage and resourcefulness. MEMPHIS COLLEGES MERGE Memphis, Tenn.—Decision to operate Roger Williams college of Nashville and the Howe Junior College of Memphis, under one management, beginning with the fall term, October 1, was approved at a meeting of the missionary board and educational board of the Tennessee Baptist convention in session here. The two colleges will use the buildings of Howe college as temporary headquarters until plans for erecting new buildings have matured. Mr. T. T. McWilliams and Mr. Buddy Walker are attending the Elks conclave at Chicago this week Vol. XIV—No. 9 ASBURY PARK N. A. A. C. P. WINS_IN SUIT AGAINST BEACH SEGREGATION New York, Aug. 24—Long continued segregation of colored bathers and visitors on the ocean beach at Asbury Park, New Jersey, has been decisively defeated by the branch there of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, under the leadership of the entire executive committee headed by the branch president, Dr. William J. Parks. For some years colored bathers had been confined to a small section of the beach. Then reports began to come to the N. A. A. C. P. that colored people on benches along the Asbury Park beach front had been requested by city police officers to "move down where the colored people belong." The branch promptly drew up a letter to the mayor protesting against this segregation of colored people along the beach. Two letters were taken to the mayor of Asbury Park by the N. A. A. C. P. committee, Dr. Parks reports: "There were no discussions following the reading of this letter. The mayor simply asked what actions we wanted them to take. The mayor, speaking for the board, gave us the assurance that colored people have the same rights and privileges on the beach as any other group of citiens, and that no orders have been given to the leseses or to any of the emissaries of the board to treat colored people differently from any other group and that no orders will be given to that effect." In the first letter to the mayor, the Asbury Park N. A. A. C. P. said: "Our association is organized and maintained for one purpose only—citizenship rights. As we view the matter the beach front is a public playground owned by the City of Asbury Park and is for the use of everybody, just as are the streets or the library square. Surely, you will not contend that you have the authority to say which side of a street colored or white people shall use. Then why part of the beach? "We call your attention to the fact that no other seashore city in New Jersey has such an arrangement. Why should we? We can further state that we probably pay more taxes than the colored people of any other resort—Atlantic City not excepted. We do not feel that we should be made the laughing stock of the entire state by continuing to be jim-crowed on our own beach. May we have a reply from you? Yours for a friendly adjustment." The branch committee, besides Dr. Parks, included John A. Stewart, Thomas H. Murray, Anna E. Jackson, Bessie A. Wallace, Dr. John H. Hayes, Betty A. Carter, Louise L. Upperman and Mabel Hendrickson. Dr. Parks states that the lessee of bathing concessions has been instructed not to discriminate against colored bathers and that he gave assurances to that effect. SMITH-FOR-PRESIDENT CLUBS BECOMING NUMEROUS New York City — Independent Smith-for-President clubs are springing up in various sections of the east. Some of these organizations are made up for colored voters who heretofore voted the republican ticket. The New Jersey Independent Republican club, Smith-for-President, is making an active canvass for the democratic ticket in New Jersey. J. B. Taylor of Englewood is president, and D. H. Taylor is secretary. The People's Progressive Political league has its headquarters in Philadelphia. The officers are the Rev. Thomas D. Atkins, president; Lionel A. Francis, secretary-treasurer, and John W. Parks, chairman of the campaign committee. This organization is said to have a large membership composed of colored voters throughout Pennsylvania. The Afro-American Republican league, through Harry Davenger, chairman, has offered to work in Delaware for Governor Smith and Senator Bayard. GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 682 erpiece WINNING SUCCESS IN JOURNALISTIC FIELD ON THE PACIFIC COAST Former Omaha Woman Now Business Manager of the Pacific Defender of Los Angeles On Eastern Trip One of the outstanding editors of the country is Fred C. Williams of the Pacific Defender of Los Angeles, Cal., who some years ago was circulation manager of The Monitor. Although he has lost his sight, he had the will to support himself and found a way. Some years ago he went to Los Angeles, Cal., and began the publication of the Pacific Defender, which is one of the ablest and best edited of our race journals, and is recognized as an influential publication. Fred C. Williams credits much of his success in the newspaper field to his wife, who has proven herself to be one of the keenest and most wide-awake business women of the west. She is quiet, modest and unassuming, and up to the time of her husbands' venture in California, was a simple housewife. Due to the loss of his sight she found it necessary to take her place by his side in business and has proven a worthy helper. Mrs. Williams is visiting in the east, having passed through Omaha last week, enroute to Chicago and points further east, and then returning by way of Indianapolis, St. Louis, her old home town, and Omaha, where she and her husband resided prior to their departure five years ago. DR. SINGLETON MEMBER ADVISORY COMMITTEE Dr. John A. Singleton has been appointed the Nebraska representative on the Advisory Board of the Colored Voters 'Division of the National Republican Committee, of which Dr. John R. Hawkins of Washington, D. C., is general chairman. This sub-committee to which has been entrusted the conducting of a vigorous campaign among the colored voters for the election of Hoover and Curtis, is a very important part of the campaign organization functioning under the chairmanship of Dr. Hubert Work. The choice of Dr. Singleton, who is a member of the state legislature, and an active and enthusiastic republican, is an excellent one. ELKS RESENT ACTION AGAINST PERRY HOWARD New York City—Monarch Lodge, No. 45, Negro Elks, at a meeting at No. 245 West 137th street, adopted resolutions voicing resentment of what is characterized as the "persecution" of Perry W. Howard, grand legal advisor of the Independent Order of Elks and Negro Republican National Committee from Mississippi. Assurances of sympathy and support are expressed in the resolutions, which charge that Howard is sacrificed for political expediency and through race prejudice. Monarch lodge is one of the largest in the country. It has 3,000 members. A similar resolution was passed recently by Negro Elks of Baltimore.

Singleton as the member from Nebraska of the Advisory Board of the Colored Voters Division of the National Republican Committee is a commendable one from many viewpoints. Dr. Singleton is a young man of ability and energy, active in political affairs, an ardent, loyal and enthusiastic republican, and can be relied upon to take seriously whatever task may be assigned him. His appointment is a recognition of the younger element in the political field, a recognition, which in our judgment, in certain quarters, has been too long postponed. Young men, as a rule, bring enthusiasm and vision, to any task assigned them. GOOD WORK—EXTEND IT GOOD WORK—EXTEND IT The Monitor believes that the Bee-News has acted wisely, and what is of more importance, justly, in giving the position of District Manager to a competent member of our race in the person of Mr. Toby James. His appointment means enlarged opportunities for our boys as carriers. We believe in reciprocity. We have always contended that it was manifestly unfair on the part of firms and corporations which receive a comparatively large support and revenue from our people to refuse to give us employment. For this reason we always note with gratification and pleasure any and every well-intentioned effort to remove this injustice. This is not the first time an Omaha newspaper has tried this experiment. Some years ago the Omaha Daily News, if our memory is not faulty, gave employment to one of our race in a like capacity. It is gratifying to see the custom revived and we believe that the Bee-News will find it a paying proposition as our people are becoming increasingly responsive to fair play and square dealing in industrial opportunities. We hope that the World-Herald may find it practicable also to find some remunerative employment for our people, and that the Telephone Company and public service corporations will do likewise. Let the good work go on. AN OPEN LETTER TO J. FINLEY WILSON By Kelly Miller August 21, 1928. My dear Mr. Wilson: I have just read in this morning's Washington Post your letter to Secretary Work declining to serve as a member of his advisory colored staff. Your declared attitude is expressive of a widespread spirit of revolt which is well high conterminous with the colored race. I note that a representative body of colored men will assemble in Chicago on August 24th to give formal expression of this hitherto inarticulate feeling of revolt. There can be little or no doubt of the universality of this feeling. Many, of course, will adhere to fortune of the G. O. P. by political inertia acquired from the moral momentum imparted in the good old days when the party was at its best. It is the law of inertia to continue forever in the same direction unaltered in direction and unaccelerated in speed. Then, --- again, there are those who are constrained by the fear of the direful consequences which might follow in the train of democratic victory. They tell us that in a certain tragic eventuality, an Arkansas democrat may be placed at the head of the nation. These things are held up as scarecrows to frighten the cautious and timid into eternal submission to the republican party, notwithstanding its apostasy from its former ideals. They tell us that it is better to endure the ills we have than to fly to those we know not of. Is Longer Submission Wise? The race has been following this line of admonition. The longer we tamely submit the bolder does our aforetime political friends become in heaping hardship and injustice upon us. If we continue in this submissive way for the next forty years every vestige of our political rights will be frittered away in the household of our friends. Even now the marginal difference between the attitude of the two parties is a matter of latitude rather than one of political creed. The republicans of the north and the democrats of that section profess and practice a like attitude towards the Negro's rights under the law. The difference between southern democrats and lily white republicans remains to be isolated and defined. The Negro must no longer be frightened by political bogeymen. He must soberly consider how much differently would he fare under an Arkansas democrat than under a Vermont republican. Reason for Revolt Plain The reason for this revolt is so self obvious that the republican party is forced to acknowledge and appreciate it.

The same old ruse has been worked for ten quadrenniums. But after each success the G. O. P. has not only forgotten its pre-election promise, but has grown bold and ruthless in its reactionary attitude. At the end of each quadrennium we find ourselves pushed further and further down on the scale of political privilege and preferment. Two generations of unyielding obedience ought to count as payment in full for the debt of gratitude which we owe the party of Lincoln and Sumner for what it accomplished in the days of its pristine moral grandeur. But continued gratitude in the face of flagrant injustice is a psychological impossibility. Wounded friendship is more grievous to bear than avowed enmity. Grievances Named The Negro's grievance against the republican party rests upon the following partial bill of particulars which every Negro feels and resents, however, they may differ in the mode of manifesting their resentment. The abandonment of the 14th and 15th amendments was begun under President Hayes and completed under President Coolidge. When the Kansas City convention deliberately refused to put the 14th and 15th amendments on the party agenda along with the 18th amendment it thereby drove the last nail in the coffin of our political expectations and clinched it on the other side. The stubborn protest of the 50 Negro delegates went unheeded, as if unheard. The deliberate and ruthless crucifixion of Perry Howard, the displacement of Ben Davis from the national committee, the flattening out of Walter Cohen of Louisiana by the lily white steam roller, the threatening of Robert R. Church, the noblest Roman of them all, amply put the Negro leadership on warning that its regime has come to an end, and that the triumph of the lily whites is at hand. The whole race must resent with the unrelenting animosity the deep dammation of their taking off. The low cunning of the coward was resorted to. All of these men were charged with political peccadillos and sustained with the stigma of dishonesty and dishonor. The Grand Old Party, which condoned a regime of corruption unparalleled in the history of our government, assumed the livery of righteousness and condemns those black offenders who it is alleged were profiteering by a few dollars.

But Ben Davis and Perry Howard must be stamped with the brand of everlasting infamy. Surely, the Negro has borne the white man's transgressions and the chastisement of his peace is upon us. We are bruised for his iniquity. **Haiti: Raped** The Negro is not unmindful of the fact that the republican party brutally raped our little Haitian sister and forcibly deprived her of the virtue of self liberty. Instead of playing the big brother, this nation has become the big bully to the struggling weak and helpless. The justifying plea is as old as oppression. The exploiteer always professes to dominate the weak for the benefit of the over-ridden. The institution of slavery was for the good of the slave. Civil Service Manipulation The republican party has manipulated the civil service so as to make it practically impossible for the Negro to recruit the clerical force. By requiring photographs which at once condemns the Negro applicant and by allowing heads of bureaucats the power of choice among three certified candidates, the Negro is effectively shut out from the qualified service. The time when a colored persons has been certified and accepted almost runs against the memory of man. There were at one time 45 colored clerks in the pension office, now the number has been reduced to five and the ranks are still thinning. A lake that has an outlet but no intake will soon run dry. This is an unpardonable piece of meanness on the part of the federal government. It deliberately cheats the Negro out of his justly earned due. And yet the republican party stands complacently by although this matter has been over and again called to its attention.

By the number of applicants applying for jobs in the League office, the supply of labor far exceeds the demand. It may be well to think of the job you now have and save some of your weekly earnings. Without doubt it will assist in meeting many emergencies before winter is over. The Urban League is in position to offer you expert advice on working conditions in other sections of the country. Data received from our National Office each month is available and may save you the expense and embarrassment of being without a job in changing locations. The League encourages intelligent giving for charitable purposes. We also encourage worth while investments. If you are in doubt about appeals or the investment of funds we may be of service to you. If we cannot, we can direct you to the proper source. During July the League reported 465 personal contacts in the office. These contacts involved matters of employment, information and advice. During the past month more than 25 interviews and conferences were held with heads of industries, executives and employers on the work of the Urban League. Much satisfaction has been evidenced by all with the advent of an organization with the program of the League. The colored people of our city have made arrangements for the proper observance of Emancipation day, September 11th. The day will be given over to picnicking and athletic events at Krug park, and it is the one day in the year when these people from every part of the city are given an opportunity to hold a genuine reunion, and enter into the spirit of appreciation they feel for this act of the great Lincoln. It is highly creditable to them that they have, year after year, made this signal demonstration of their gratitude, and I respectfully suggest that wherever possible, their employers allow them their freedom for this day. Respectfully, JAMES C. DAHLMAN, Mayor. NOTICE BY PUBLICATION ON PETITION FOR SETTLEMENT OF FINAL ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNT In the County Court of Douglas County, Nebraska.

Natural Gas FACTS 1.—Natural Gas will cut your gas bills at least 30 per cent and save Omaha gas users $500,000 a year. 2.—Natural Gas is the cleanest and most efficient fuel ever produced. It does not dirty kitchen utensils. 3. Natural Gas will furnish Omaha industries a cheap fuel. That's the cause of much opposition from some coal men. Cheap fuel will give Omaha a chance to expand industrially, meaning more employment. 4. Omahans are assured of proper pressure and supply, because the pipe line will be the largest ever laid and the field is ample for all future needs. 5. The Natural Gas bonds will not increase taxes one penny. All interest and princing' will be met with revenue from the sale of the gas. Yes September NATURAL GAS CO.

FINLEY WILSON ———TGantinued fram Pewe 2) ever, give Mr. Hoover as much credit | as he is willing to claim for giving| orders to have such distinction re-| moved from his department in the midst of the heated issue of a pri- mary campaign. Very soon, how-| ever, there will be left in the depart- | ments no Negro clerks to segregate. | If Mr. Hoover is elected and re- elected and allows the civil service commission to function as it has done | under Harding and Coolidge, after eight years of his rule, there will hardly be left a Negro clerk in Wash- ington. I need not go further compounding a bill of particulars. Every Negro’ knows them like a book. They are as painfully familiar to Dr. John R. | Hawkins and his co-operative commit- tee as they are to you, Mr. Wilson. They feel them as deeply and as keen- ly. There is not a single understand- ing Negro in the United States who will not acknowledge the justice of the bill of indictment as here drawn. If so, let him stand up and say so. Fundamental Question The fundamental question arises: “What shall the Negro do in the midst of the emergency which is now upon us?” Some will support Al Smith for vindictive reasons, while others with slave-like fidelity, will say to the G. 0. P., “Though you slay me, yet will I serve you.” It was true when Frederick Douglass said: “The republican party is the ship; all else the sea.” But this was a generation ago. Since then the old ark of safety hgs become unseaworthy. The Negro may as well seek passage on other crafts upon the sea of political uncer- tainty. My dear Mr. Wilson, I am not sending you this open letter to give information upon topics already fa- miliar to you, nor to indicate personal animosity against the republican par- ty. I have stated the truth with so- berness, with naught set down in mal-_ ice. Immediately upon reading your letter in this morning’s Post, I sat me down and took my pen in hand to. write you these few lines for a very definite reason. You will doubtless be influential in formulating the expression of re- volt which is now running rampant! I am writing to urge that this new dynamic be turned into constructive instead of destructive channels. The Negro race should no longer continue to vote for the republicans because they do not like democrats, nor yet for democrats because they do not like republicans. Vindictive polities will get the race nowhere. The Ne- gro should align himself with firm principles and sound politics inde- pendently of whichever party es- pouses them. Principal Issue There is but one fundamental prin- ciple involved in the present cam- paign, and that is the principle of prohibition. Tonight I expect to lis- ten to Governor Smith deliver his ac- ceptance address over the radio. It is perfectly safe to predict that on all features of the two platforms, a one, his address will be as much like ‘Mr. Hoover's as Senator Curtis’ was. Prohibition, and prohibition alone is the issue. This is neither a republi- can nor a democratic doctrine. Pres- ident Nicholas Murray Butler is as wet as Senator Edwards and Senator Robinson is as dry as Senator Curtis. It is a sound, patriotic American doc- trine, which political exigencies have forced the republican party to spon sor. Faemeesmstieces mics | The Negro race is the chief victim of intemperance and drunkenness. Free flowing liquor works its great- est havoc on the weaker man and the weaker race. The demon rum loves the black victim. The Negro reverse- ly is the chief beneficiary of prohibi- tion. It saves our sons and daughters | from the lurings of temptation which thoy may lack the inhibition to resist. It makeé for the building up of fam- ily, church and home. The rapid ma- terial progress of the race since pro- hibition, though imperfectly enforced indicates its great value and advan- tage. Return to rum would be a re- turn to ruin. Negro Beneficiary of Law ‘The Negro is the victim of law- lessness and the beneficiary of law. He must uphold the constitution. Though all men should forsake it, yet ae a ie Bee Bie eeeee. The Negro is the victim of law- lessness and the beneficiary of law. He must uphold the constitution. Though all men should forsake it, yet should not he. Because the repub- lican and democratic parties join in nullifying the 14th and 15th amend- ments, yet the Negro should stand firmly by the constiution in all of its parts and provisions. If the coun- try ever becomes accustomed to the nullification of the. prohibition amendment, then there is little hope that it will ever return to the human rights amendments. Nullification is catching. Nullification of one por- tion leads to nullification of other portions. Let the Negro at least maintain an attitude of moral consis- tency. Mr. Smith and Mr. Hoover are two good men. Whichever of them is elected, the Negro may stand assured that farm relief, flood control, the foreign debt and international rela- tions will be looked after. Let the Negro stand with Mr. Hoover because he stands for prohibition. But dc not fail to let Mr. Hoover and the re publican party know that our griev- ances are great and that we will no forget them nor hold them in abey- ance, no, not even during the present campaign. Yours truly, KELLY MILLER. . snare a a | PATENTS NEW LOCK INVENTION New York City—Henry Charle- magne, a race man living in Anse-a- Vieux, Haiti, and a member of the Haitian Patriotic Union of America, has just received from Washington the patent rights on his most reecnt invention. It is a combination lock, and is said to be a great improvement over anything of this nature ever pat- ented. Mr. Charlemagne is said to be the holder of numerous other pat- ents on devices for automobiles and electrical equipment. PASSES AT AGE OF 105 Nassau, Bahamas—The last surviy- or of slavery in the colony of Nassau, Martin Sawyer, aged 105 years, is dead. Sawyer was brought here from Africa as a boy. He enjoyed splen- did health and spirits to the day of his death, and was in possession of all his faculties. He was still able to do a good day’s work and support himself. WAGE FIGHT AGAINST HOME SEGREGATION New York, N. ¥.—The national of- fice of the N. A. A. C. P. has for- warded its check for $180.75 to At- torney George E. Hayes of Washing- ton, covering the costs of printing the briefs in the case of Cornish against O'Donoghue, in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia. This is the action brought to test whether or not white property owners may in- clude in the deeds to property clauses which prohibit the sale by any future owner of that property to persons of Negro blood. This case marks an- other step in the battle which the N. A. A. C. P. has waged for upwards of ten years to checkmate and defeat each new move to segregate colored people. DATES FOR TRIAL SET Biloxi, Miss—A sensation is ex- pected in the trials of the prominent race politicians under indictment for the sale of federal patronage in the State of Mississippi. The dates of the trials have just been set. Ed. L. Patton will be tried at the September term of court. The trial of Perry W. Howard will not take place until the November term of court in Jack- son. PULLMAN CO. EMPLOYES NUMBER 10,794 Washington, D. C.—According to an abstract which bas just been pub- lished by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the report rendered by the Pullman company for 1927 the company had in its employ last year 10,794 porters and maids and their average salary was $2.60 a day. The revenue received by the Pull- man company from the operation of leeping cars in 1927 amounted to 580,952,208. The total operating ex- penses were $66,502,582. ACTION TAKEN TO DISBAR REDMOND Jackson, Miss—Ex parte motion was entered on the docket of the chancery court by a special commit- tee recently, seeking the disbarment of Attorney S. D. Redmond, republi- can political leader. Redmond was indicted for the sale of federal pat- ronage in the recent republican pat- ronage probe at Biloxi. TAKE NOTICE We take this method of informing the members and friends of Clair M. E. church and the publie in gen- eral, that the Home Coming and An- nual Visit of Bishop Clair, our Area Bishop, of Covington, Ky., will not be with us September 9th, the second Sunday, as previously announced, because that is the final rally of the A. M. E. churches of Omaha before leaving for their annual conference, and te other Methodist churches al- so. We have so written the Bishop, hoping that he may be able to come at another date. A. H. HIGGS. THE HONITOR MSSM aD .NCIPATION CEL! A BIG EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION to be held at KRUG PARK-September 11 We are hereby calling the public’s atten- tion to this big event. We have heretofore, no doubt, witnessed this day of celebration in Omaha, but never before have we had it in this wise. There is a big effort being made by the Committee to reach every organized group of race people in and around Omaha, in order that they may share in, or have a chance to share in this affair. We are hop- ing to have every church group, every fra- ternal society and the business and profes- sional men to participate in this celebration. We have heard from many sources, much criticism about a date for this celebration. To that we have only this to say: In the - Slave States, the dates differ; in Nebraska, ' there is no fixed date for this occasion, for _ this was not a slave state. So, we use a date -on which we can secure a place that fur- -nishes such recreation and amusements as this day calls for, hence, the day and place this year is : September 11th, at Krug Park! ' Another objection has been that it has been a single-handed effort. That objection this year is removed by reason of the fact _ that all groups are being approached to take , part. - Still another objection has been because -some have thought that the churches and pastors should not have the dance pavilion operating under church management. That objection this time is removed, for the Krug Park Amusement Co. had contracted with Mr. John Smith for the dance pavilion last March, so the churches will have no hand in the management of the hall. Now let us all get together and have a big day of co-mingling one with another and at the same time celebrate in a large way our Race Freedom. The following named brethren have been approached and have agreed to co-operate with the plan. From Fraternities: A. M. HARROLD REV. D. McQUEEN C. G.M. of U. K. T.’s State G. M. of M. T. of A’s DR.

E. HAMLETT Bethel M. B., So. Side Cleaves Temple, C. M. E. We hope this announcement will be clear- ly read and understood so that everyone will know that all groups can be benefited by plans offered if they will take part. At this writing the Committee has not been able to see all of the churches and pastors, neither have we had time to see all of the Fraternal Societies, but we will see them before the next issue comes out, so as to let the public know those participating in this grand af- fair. Watch for newspaper and circular an- nouncements later. Anyone wishing to take part or to get further information call L. E.
