Cents a Copy Zimman and Mitchell Contrast Sentiment and Policies of Republicans and Democrats Towards Race. Tuesday night a rousing mass meeting with a large attendance held in Dreamland hall, Twenty-fourth and Grant street, opened the active and aggressive campaign to be waged by Republicans among our race in the northern section of the city. The meeting was sponsored by the County Republican committee but was in direct charge of the executive committee of the North End Republican headquarters, the members of which are George H. Hibbler, chairman; Rev. David McQueen, vice chairman; Mrs. Ada Hill Smith, secretary; Ed. W. Killingsworth, treasurer; Rev. Z. E. McGee and James G. Jewell. The hall was decorated with the American colors and Hoover and Curtis pictures and pennants. Music was furnished by Desdunes' band. On the platform were seated not only the speakers of the evening, but several ladies who are taking an active part in the campaign; several candidates, among them being F. L. Barnett, and Dr. A. M. McMillan, race candidates for the state legislature; Dr. John A. Singleton, present representative in the legislature from the Ninth district; Harry O. Palmer, county chairman; Fred Shotwell, secretary; William Burton, chairman of the speakers' bureau; A. V. Shotwell, chairman of the executive committee; Rev. John Adams, member of the state committee; Mrs. Ada Hill Smith, secretary, and George H. Hibbler, chairman. Chairma Hibbler called the meeting to order shortly after 8 o'clock, stated the object of the most important campaign in the history of our country because of the many issues involved. He briefly introduced the members of the central committee, seated on the platform, the candidates, none of whom spoke, except Dr. McMillan candidate from the Ninth district, who spoke briefly; and Dr. John A. Singleton, whom the chairman requested to "set at rest the rumors that he would not support his former opponent." Dr. Singleton forcefully stated that "the hatchet had been buried" and that all were going to work unitedly for the election of the whole Republican ticket." The chairman introduced as the first speaker of the evening, Harry B. Zimman, former city commissioner, but now occupying a managerial position with the Brandeis store. During his whole career, Mr. Zimman, who is a Jew, has been a sincere and consistent friend of the colored people. It was their vote which elected him as the only republican among 12 councilmen some years ago during Omaha's first political Democratic landslide which placed James C. Dahlman and ten other Democrats in office. His own people and ours stood by him and he won, while 11 other Republican colleagues on the ticket were defeated. Mr. Zimman urged support of the Republican party, stating that despite its sins of commission in late years of which many of our race are complaining, and justly so, it ought not be forgotten that it was the party of emancipation and that whatever rights and privileges had been obtained had been obtained through the Republican party. Things undone ought not blind us to things that have been done. He discussed at length the intolerance of the south, which constitutes the very backbone and chief strength of the Democratic party and maintained that tolerance, which guarantees a square deal to every man cannot be given by "any party dominated by the intolerant south." Rev. John Adams was called upon by the chairman to introduce the principal speaker of the evening, Arthur W. Mitchell of Washington, D.C. This Mr. Adams did in eloquent words which did him credit. Mr. Mitchell delivered a forceful address characterized by convincing candor and directness. He stated that what was needed in this campaign was telling the truth and leaving the voters to degrade. He believed that the Republican party had adopted a platform and presented a candidate that was best calculated to help humanity and guarantee a united nation. He confined himself to the discussion of questions which directly affect the Negro race in America, "of which," said he, "I am a part.

Hill, a senior in the law school at the University of Nebraska, has recently been notified that she was winner of the senior law school award, a scholarship which is given to the three seniors with highest scholarship ratings. The scholarship entitles the student to one year's tuition in that school. Miss Hill was also the winner of the freshman law school award. She is the first Negro co-ed to study law at the University of Nebraska and is the only co-ed in her class. Miss Hill, who is also a graduate of the arts and sciences college with an A. B. degree, is a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. E. Hill of this city. FAREWELL RECEPTION FOR REV. DR. JOHN H. GRANT A farewell reception was given by about 600 members and friends of the Rev. Dr. John H. Grant, retiring pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, October 1st, at St. John's A. M. E. church. Speeches of appreciation for the religious and community service rendered by Dr. John H. Grant, during his two year pastorate in Omaha, were made by Reverends J. C. Brewer, John Albert Williams, A. F. Martin, and Dr. John A. Singleton, Mrs. Kate Wilson, Mr. Harry Anderson, and Mrs. M. L. Rhone. Musical numbers, both vocal and instrumental, were rendered by Mrs. Venus Parker, Mrs. Martha Taylor Smith, Mr. Lester Carter, Mrs. T. L. Mayo and the audience. The addresses were all in praise and appreciation of the church and community service performed by Rev. Dr. Grant. Mrs. H. R. Greenfield, clerk of St. John's A. M. E. church, introduced Dr. Grant and presented to him a fountain pen which was the gift of the Steward Board, assisted by the Stewardess Board. In a short address, Dr. Grant expressed his appreciation of the support given him by the Christian men and women of St. John's A. M. E. church and the community. And he expressed sincere regret because of his leaving Omaha. Refreshments were served to the six hundred members and friends who assembled to pay their respects to Dr. Grant. The program and reception were arranged by the Steward Board. The invocation was given by Rev. O. J. Burckhart and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. I. S. Wilson, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, Mr. H. J. Pinkett presided. PROMINENT OMAHA WOMAN MARRIES WEALTHY FARMER Mrs. Lavinia Cooper-Warren, 4709 Erskine street, was married Sunday, September 30, to Mr. J. R. Johnson of Lamont, Pettis county, Missouri, at the Baptist church in Sedalia, Mo. Mrs. Warren is one of Omaha's best and most prominent women and stands high in her circle of friends. She is a member of Zion Baptist church, and a faithful member of Mission Circle of her church. Mr. Johnson is one of the most successful farmers of Lamont, Mo., operating the largest apple orchard in that section of the state. A reception at the home of her brother, Mr. C. W. Lolles of Sedalia, Mo., followed the wedding ceremony. GOOD CONGREGATIONS ATTEND ST. PHILIP'S A large congregation was present at the 11 o'clock service at the Episcopal church of St. Philip the Deacon, when the rector preached a helpful and instructive sermon stressing individual responsibility for the advancement of God's Kingdom. Showing that the Greek word translated "minister" in several places in the New Testament, means a rower or oar-puller, Father Williams emphasized the truth that every one who lays claim, by virtue of his baptism and confirmation, being a Christian, must pull his full weight on his own oar under the eye of the Governor of the galley or ship, if it is to be propelled over the troubled waters of this world. A brief after-meeting was held at which suggestions for more aggressive Christian work were outlined. Omaha, Nebraska, Friday, October 5, 1928 Race, Rum and Religion Howard University, Washington, D.C. Prohibition and the Men By Geo. H. W. Bullock Graduate of Lincoln University Mr. Norman Thomas, the Socialist candidate for the presidency, has said that race, religion and rum will constitute the chief issues of the campaign. The genuine advocates of prohibition regret this unholy alliance. Race intolerance and religious bigotry are obvious vices while temperance is universally extolled as a virtue. The propagandists of race hatred and religious bigotry are indisduously stealing the livery of heaven in which to serve the devil. The evil genius of these evil issues is embodied in the Ku Klux Klan. The basic clause in the creed of this un-American order is that a one hundred percent American must be all white and all Protestant. The Negro American meets the full measure of the second requirement but cannot possibly qualify under the first. His only salvation, therefore, is to change the definition since he can never answer to its terms. Strange Transpositions Strange transpositions Strange transpositions take place in political history. The Ku Klux Klan of the elder day was pledged to the undoing of the works of the republican party. In turn the G. O. P. was committed to its utter destruction. This constituted its boasted achievement in the days of reconstruction. It was thought that this dragon of un-Americanism was destroyed root and branch. But it sprung up again from the root of race hatred which was not wholly extirpated. Just as the original Ku Klux Klan arose after the Civil War for the express purpose of keeping the Negro in his putative place; so its rejuvenescence after the World War had precisely the same objective. But in addition to its main feature it took on the collateral purpose of properly subordinating non-Protestants and foreigners. This extension of the brackets so as to include the Catholic and the Jew lightened the pressure upon the Negro. Indeed, it was soon found that a rejuvenescence of the nefarious order was not necessary to handle the Negro. As the basis of "The serpent beguiled me and I did eat." The politician is gifted in finding the weakness of the voter. It is upon this ability he subsists. Finding this weakness, he concentrates all his eloquence and fervor upon it until he spellbinds the sap-voter into believing that there is some truth in what he says—which in itself is no easy job. In this campaign this practice of deception is used more than ever, due, I suppose, to the closeness of the presidential race, which in turn is caused by the unusual exercise of independence on the part of the voter. The old sob-stuff, for ages employed by the professional politician, does not work at all in this campaign. For this election, so far as it concerns the presidential candidates, will be decided on such highly technical issues; issues which require such great intelligence on the part of all who will make good use of their suffrage, that even the politician himself is puzzled as to just what argument to make to his subjects. The more careless and, incidentally, less trained of them tell the voter that "All wat he gotta do is" vote for this candidate or that candidate; this issue or that issue, and if successful at the polls, he will at once be lifted up into a seventh heaven, there to revel in the glories of all that he desires, with everything he opposes being banished, as with the simple wave of the wand, from off the face of the earth by the victorious party. And, notwithstanding, these same wool-pulling tactics have been used over and over again on the same victim, said sap-voter is being victimized right and left now by this tom-foolishness. And it is right upon this condition the success or failure of the proper candidate and issues will be determined. It is therefore encumbent on every intelligent, patriotic citizen, organization, pulpit, and press, to join in an intensive educational campaign to see to it that operation shifted from south to north, religious bigotry has received the chief stress of emphasis. Very little has been said or done concerning the brother in black. But nevertheless, the basic principle remains, the Negro race is held in deepest despite. The Klan Anti-Negro The Klan is anti-Negro, and the Negro who allows himself to ignore or overlook this basic fact is what Solomon or any other wise man would call a fool. As the movement has shifted from north to south, its political allegiance has turned from the democratic to the republican party. The triumph of tolerance over bigotry in Madison Square Garden 4 years ago drove the Klan out of the democratic party, whence it sought hospitality in the party of its former enemies and destroyers. Here it was given asylum, if not welcome. John W. Davis and Robert LaFollette, candidates of the democratic and progressive parties for the presidency, both denounced the order by name in scathing and unmistakable terms, while president and candidate Coolidge observed the silence of the sphinx. When General Dawes sought to give the Klan his playful endorsement, Mr. Coolidge forthwith put a padlock on the lips of his running mate. According to his political cunning, he cautioned neither approval nor disavowal, but votes. The Klan now controls the republican party in Indiana with one governor in the penitentiary and another out. In other midwestern states the wizards of wickedness are so influential within the fold of the G. O. P. that the leaders and rulers dare not utter one condemnatory word. Governor Smith in his Oklahoma address, boldly as is his wont, denounced the Ku Klux Klan in terms as clear and unmistakable as the Smith language usually is. But not one condemnatory word has escaped the prudent lips of President Coolidge, candidate Hoover, Manager Work, or any other ruler in the ranks (Continued to Page Four) the less enlightened voter is saved from mistakes and the country saved from the serious consequences of a wrong decision November 6. It will be too late, to see on November 7, or thereafter, that you have made a sad mistake and to turn in remorse and say, "The serpent begulded me and I did eat." I shall strive from time to time through these columns to open up some of the more technical phases of some of the most confusing issues involved in this campaign. Prohibition By far the most susceptible of misunderstanding and deceptive of all the many issues involved in this campaign is that of prohibition or the Volstead act, put on the statute books in the form of a constitutional amendment which was enacted as a war time measure during the closing years of the Wilson administration. It prohibits—or is supposed to prohibit—the manufacture and sale of distilled beverages beyond the alcoholic content of $ \frac{1}{2} $ of 1 per cent. It is the Eighteenth amendment to constitution, there being only one amendment later, the Nineteenth, granting women the right of suffrage. Notwithstanding the objection on the part of both political parties, the democratic party in general, and its presidential candidate in particular, forced it in the campaign as an issue, and it promises to be the deciding factor in the election. For it is on this question more than all others, that party lines have been broken and the final result placed in doubt. The republican candidate, Mr. Hoover, stands pledged to the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment as it is on the ground that, notwithstanding its many imperfections, it has proved to be an economic and moral benefit to the country. He offers, in substantiation, that the old saloon was an economic and social curse to the home and family life of the nation. That the use of food (Continued on Page Four) Vol. XIV—No. 14 PUBLICITY MAN PAYS OMAHA HURRIED VISIT SP Claude A. Barnett, Prominent Newspaper Man, Member Publicity Committee, Spends Day Here. Claude A. Barnett, of the Associated Negro Press, Chicago, member of the publicity committee of the colored voters' division, republican national committee, arrived in Omaha, Monday morning from Kansas City, spending the day and leaving for Chicago Monday night. Mr. Barnett, who is one of the best known and ablest of our newspaper men, has been on an extensive trip arranging for publicity and making contracts for political advertising in race newspapers. That was his business in Omaha. DR, PEEBLES IS APPOINTED STATE ORGANIZER Dr. W. W. Peebles was called to Kansas City, Mo., last week, to attend a conference called by Dr. William J. Tompkins, regional director of the Al Smith-for-President Colored league. There was a large attendance of enthusiastic Smith boosters from the region which includes the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. Encouraging reports, indicating hearty support of Governor Smith, were brought by those who attended the conference. Dr. Peebles was commissioned as state representative of the league for Nebraska. It is proposed to bring some of their strongest Negro democratic speakers into the state within a few weeks for campaign speeches. WILL HOLD SACRIFICE AND RUMMAGE SALE The Catholic Home for Aged association will hold a sacrifice and rumage sale, Friday and Saturday, October 12th and 13th, at 1309 Farnam street. Exceptional values, including men's brand new, as well as used, articles of wearing apparel, furniture, furnishings, etc., will be available at ridiculously low prices. Mrs. William Foran, Mrs. Gene Melady, Mrs. Mary B. Porter and Miss Ella J. Brown are the committee in charge. NORTH END REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS OPENED Attractively appointed headquarters known as the North End Republican headquarters, have been opened at 2120 North Twenty-fourth street, with George W. Hibbler, in charge as chairman, and Mrs. Ada Hill Smith as secretary. Literature and information bearing upon the campaign from the republican standpoint can be obtained here as well as from the central headquarters downtown at the Rome hotel. Public meetings will also be held from time to time in the North End headquarters. SMITH-FOR-PRESIDENT COLORED LEAGUE HAS OPENED HEADQUARTERS Headquarters for the Al Smith-forPresident Colored league were recently opened at 2016 North Twenty-fourth street with neatly appointed furniture. The headquarters are in charge of Harry Leland, Dr. W. W. Peebles and Mrs. Lydia Owen, secretary. Democratic literature in abundance and information bearing upon the campaign from the democratic standpoint is cherfully supplied. A radio installed at the headquarters makes it a favorite rendezvous for those who desire to listen in on political speeches. JUDGE HOWELL TO ADDRESS WOMAN'S CLUB Judge Frank S. Howell of the state supreme court, will address the American citizenship department of the Omaha Woman's club on the subject of "Courts, Juries and Citizens" at the first regular meeting of this department at the club house on Monday, October 8th, at 2 p. m. Judge Howell will also speak on "Medical Jurisprudence" before the Omaha-Douglas County Medical association at the Medical Arts auditorium on the evening of Tuesday, October 9th. Last Thursday Judge Howell addressed the Noonday club, an organization of prominent Swedish-American citizens. GROWING THANK YOU 14 Whole Number 687 SPEAKERS' BUREAU OF WESTERN DIVISION FUNCTIONING FINE Reaching the West's Million and a Quarter Negro Voters Through Printed Page and Spoken Word. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 3—One of the departments of the republican national committee of the western division that is functioning with ease and rapidity is that of the speaker's bureau, headed by Roscoe Conkle Simmons. This and the organization departments are two of the biggest departments of the headquarters. Since Mr. Simmons has taken charge, his office is crowded daily with those who are eligible to talk "Hoover and Curtis." Then too, his mail is very heavy and telegrams come in every minute. It is from those who are offering their services to take the stump. It is a great big job for Simmons but he is handling it with intelligence and diplomacy. Every "neck of the woods" wants to hear Simmons but it is impossible for it is his duty to remain at the bureau and direct speakers. In the western division, there are 1,248,100 Negro votes and these must be reached through organization, speakers and literature. The voters want to hear speakers for it is they who are able to convince one how to vote and who to vote for. Not only Bishop A. J. Carey, Bishop W. T. Vernon, Dr. L. G. Jordan, Senator Adelbert H. Roberts, Attorney C. H. Calloway, Rev. J. E. Wood and others of this caliber, but orators in their native states will be called to the "huskin's" by Col. Simmons. The month of October will see nearly every church and hall packed with voters to hear the principles of the republican party enunciated by speakers selected by the head of the speakers' bureau. The headquarters here in all departments is a "bee-hive" of activity, working for the success of the G. O. P. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and William D. Pickens are scheduled to speak in Chicago at an early date. REPRESENTATIVE OF NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE VISITOR Attorney Arthur J. Mitchell, Member Intelligence Bureau, Spends Week in State Doing Effective Work for Party. Arthur W. Mitchell of Washington, D. C., a member of the Intelligence bureau of the national republican committee, arrived in the city last Wednesday and spent several days here and at Lincoln in the interests of the presidential campaign and, incidentally, in the interest of the whole republican ticket. Mr. Mitchell's particular job is that of fact finding as to the sentiment and progress of the campaign among Negroes and, concomitantly, a trouble fixer, that is to say, a reconciler of difference or a harmonizer. Mr. Mitchell held conferences with political leaders here and at Lincoln, effecting, it is reported, a complete entente cordiale between different factions insuring, upon their part, whole-hearted and united support of the entire republican ticket. As one result of this harmonization, Rev. John Adams was made a member of the state central republican committee with a desk and stenographer in the committee rooms at the Lindell hotel, Lincoln, which is recognized as an advance step in state political affairs as they directly affect our racial group. Other tangible recognition was obtained. Mr. Mitchell delivered two addresses during his visit to Nebraska, one at Lincoln Friday night and another in Dreamland hall Tuesday night. Preceding his address Tuesday night a dinner was given in his honor at Bell's De Luxe cafe by the executive committee of the North Side republican headquarters at 6 o'clock, attended by 30 guests. He left for Chicago early Wednesday morning. Dr. W. W. Peebles, state organizer, and Harry Leland, president of the local Al Smith-for-President Colored legue, visited Lincoln Tuesday and organized a branch of the league in that city. They report that they found Smith sentiment quite strong there.

LIMITING OUR EDITORIALS We are limiting our own editorials this week to accommodate two instructive articles of editorial character from the able pens of Kelly Miller, Ph.D., the scholarly dean and head of the department of mathematics in Howard University, Washington, D. C.; and George H. W. Bullock, A. B., Lincoln University, a resident of Omaha. Both of these men write instructive articles which many of our readers enjoy. And as the purpose of the The Monitor is to instruct and induce our readers to think, it is always a pleasure to give articles of this nature space in our columns. We invite signed articles on any subjects of general moment or race interest which we will gladly give space as far as our limited columns will allow, whether we agree with the writer or not. Doctor Millers' article (and by the way he never parades his degree, although he is a Ph. D., doctor of philosophy, from Johns Hopkins University and everybody speaks of him simply as "Kelly Miller") is captioned "Race, Religion and Rum," while Mr. Bullock's is titled "Prohibition and the Candidates." By a rather strange coincidence the mail brought us Miller's article about the same time we were handed the Bullock article, and it will be noted how each writer differs in his conclusion. Dr. Miller contends that the liquor question is bound up with the election of Herbert Hoover and urges his election upon that issue, while Mr. Bullock's conclusion is that no matter which candidate is elected the Eighteenth amendment will stand. We invite a careful reading of both articles. Our own opinion agrees with that of Mr. Bullock that despite all claims to the contrary, and in spite of what Governor Smith frankly says is his own opinion and desires concerning the expediency of repeal or modification, it makes no difference whichever candidate is elected the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act will stand. Personally, we are very largely, but not wholly, in sympathy with Governor Smith's views on the prohibition question. We are "wet" if you please. We do not believe that prohibition is the best way to promote temperance and that is the thing to be desired. It is, however, the law, and we stand foursquare for the enforcement of the law and believe it should be enforced until the people, convinced that there is a better way for promoting temperance, demand its repeal or modification. NOT SENTIMENT Whatever may be the outcome of the present political campaign one of the most encouraging facts to be noted among our people is their study of the men and issues claiming attention and support. Sentiment and emotionalism are being supplanted by sober thought and reasoning upon the part of many. This means the dawning of a better day, a period of transition.

The active canvass begins October 15. A good number of our people will be represented among the canvassers and as speakers. We are large beneficiaries, proportionately, of the Community Chest. But even though we were not, it would be our bounden duty to help from humanitarian motives. We feel sure that our people, according to their ability, will generously respond and help "put a feather in Omaha's cap" by raising the entire amount. LOOK CLOSELY AT HOME There is always danger in the stress and strain of presidential campaigns to overlook the importance of men and issues more closely at home. The election of the governor of the state and state officers come more closely home to us all than does the president. The judiciary is tremendously important and we should be very particular in doing our best to elect competent, experienced and judicially minded men to the bench. Look more closely at home. Every man should bear his own burden. THE MONITOR Very few men in the state of Nebraska can claim such a large part in the organization of welfare and humanitarian groups as can Charles E. Foster, candidate for district judge of the fourth judicial district, which comprises Burt, Douglas and Washington counties. Judge Foster was one of the first to help put into operation the playground system used in Omaha and was active in this work until playgrounds were taken over by the city. He was one of the first to organize a boy scout troop in Omaha and was on the first executive scout council. Up until the time of the world war, he was a scout master. Judge Foster assisted in organizing the Masonic Home for Children, and also the girls' home operated by the Y. W. C. A. He is chairman of the Shrine Hospital committee for crippled children. Judge Foster's humanitarian work has stamped him as a leader in children's activities. The present juvenile court was organized by Judge Foster with the assistance of the late George A. Day. Judge Foster helped to establish the detention home for children, now known as the Riverview Home. Judge Foster heard more than 100,000 cases while he was on the municipal police bench of Omaha for ten years. He was re-elected five times. He has also been a deputy county attorney, and his long legal experience, with his education in the University of Nebraska law school, makes him a fitting and able candidate for the district bench.

A sinister attempt is being made to induce the public to believe that the electric industry has been carrying on a propaganda campaign against gov- ‘ernment ownership in the schools and colleges, according to J. E. Davidson, vice president and general manager of the Nebraska Power company. “The facts do not warrant this charge,” said Mr. Davidson. “We hhave publicly stated our position sev- ‘eral times and we insist that no at- ‘tempt was ever made by a public util- ity in Nebraska, or within my knowl- edge, anywhere, to spread propagan- da of any sort in the public schools . colleges.” “The electric companies of Nebras- ‘ka issued a pamphlet on ‘Electricity’ ‘which was offered to any teachers of public schools that desired them but there was not one bit of propaganda in this pamphlet. It dealt entirely with electricity and its many uses. This pamphlet was not a text book. It was merely a paper covered pam- phiet or leaflet.” Mr. Davidson said that there has been propaganda in the schools, but not issued on zhe part of the electric companies but issued against the elec- tric industry and against the Ameri- can tradition of private enterprise and individual initiative, John Spargo, who for a number of years was engaged as a lecturer pre- senting socialistic doctrines to stu- dents in colleges and *igh schools, wrote recently to the Chicago Trib- une saying that the investigation by the federal trade commission of pub- lic utilities has been very unfair. In his letter he told how he and others spread propaganda in the public schools against private ownership and THE MONITOR for public ownership. Mr. Spargo in his statement said: “Every man who is at all familiar with the facts, knows that the fed- eral trade investigation would not have been ordered by the senate were it not that the campaign of malignant abuse and cowardly innuendo has caused so many of our servants in office to fear being branded as hire- [lings of the ‘power trust.’ Every man who has thus far dared to raise his voice against this sort of political muckraking and in defense of Amer- ican industry bas been thus assailed. I have been personally so accused de- spite the fact that I have never re- ceived a single dollar, or any equiv- alent thereof, from any utility cor- poration, or its agents, directly or in- directly, either for services rendered, support given, or for any other pur- pose whatsoever. I have never re- ceived pay, directly or indirectly, from any utility company or its agents for speaking against public ownership. But for many years I did receive pay for speaking in favor of public ownership from organizations maintained for that purpose.” The Chicago Tribune, in connec- tion with Mr. Spargo’s letter, said the following: “By a fortunate coincidence, The Tribune is enabled today, Labor Day, to present to its readers a letter from Mr. John Spargo dealing with the senate’s inquiry into the so-called power trust and its propaganda. Mr. Spargo writes as a former socialist who was engaged for a number of | years as a lecturer presenting social- ist doctrines to students in colleges and high schools in many sections of the country. He knows that the pow- er companies did not present their case in academic circles until long after the ease for public ownership had been presented by advocates of collectivism. He does not believe that the best interests of this country will be served by having the coming gen- eration know only one side of the ar- gument, and that the theoretical as opposed to the tested side. In that view he will be supported by Ameri- can labor. “It is fortunate for this country that our labor movement has never been captured by socialism as 80 many of the labor movements in for- eign countries have been. The fact that the great majority of our unions have persisted in confining their ac- tivities to their natural function, col- lective bargaining, has helped to dis- courage the growth in this country of the class consciousness which is the first goal of most of the foreign labor movements. Class consciousness is supposed to make unions strong; in- stead, it makes them weak, for it im- [bues those who possess it with a sense of inferiority. Class consciousness |encourages the belief that, pending |the millenium, the line between the |laboring man and the capitalist is one [which never ean be crossed. The |class conscious workingman devotes |his thought to the millenium when he | might be striving to improve his own |condition. Class consciousness dis- ‘courages workers from making any |effort to increase production — for |that is supposed to be in the interest of capital—though it must be appar- history that the most direct and prob- ‘ably the only means by which the standard of living can be improved is ‘through increased production. “The American labor movement has been the despair of academic the- orists because labor refused to take any part in supporting the notions’of doctrinaires. The impetus for the inquiry into the so-called power trust did not come from labor. The wis- dom of the policy followed by our unions is summarized in the recent news items reporting the incorpora- tion of country clubs by union work- ingmen.” Be not mocked, for whatso- ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

A total of $3080 was refunded during the year 1927 alone in the eleven states where commissions kept record of such refunds, Complaints to the number of 2.34 were adjusted during the year by the eighteen real estate commissions which kept such a numerical record. Commissioners in a number of states have been active in suppress: ing the sale of lots by what is known as the “free lot sclieme.” Real es: tute commissions in Ohio, New York. New Jersey. Ilinvis, and California have taken the stand that operation of such a scheme of sales is suilicient ground for revocation of license, The real estate commission of New Jersey reports that tLe aid of the commission was sought during the year by 2,000 of more persons, many of whom were making thelr first pur chase of property located in the state A very Important service of the Cal ifornia real estate department ts its examination of and report upon rural lands subdivisions During the last year the department tas made 24 such inspection reports.

Napoleon Untiing in Work He Set Himself Many witnesses have tectified to Na- poleon Bonaparte’s amazing powers of continued work.

His private secretary would be sent for at a tute hour and would get to bed at four in the morning; at seven the poor man would find new tasks ready for him and would be told they must be finished . within two hours.

Rousing Mass Meeting (Continued from Page One) know how you feel, because I feel as you do. I know what you think. And it is from this standpoint that I in- tend to talk to you.” Mr. Mitchell reviewed the back- ground and environment of the two major parties. The Republican party ‘being the party which stood for hu- man rights and liberty, the Democrat- jie party as the one opposing these principles. He quoted from recent speeches of southern democratic lead- ers against the Negro and also from discriminatory laws on the statute books in some southern states. He stated that in no state or city where Republicans are in control is there any separate car laws or like humili- ating regulations, while in every state where the Democrats are in control, there are such laws. He admitted that there was segregation in the de- partments at Washington, but called attention to the fact that as soon as knowledge of this was brought to Herbert Hoover, he investigated the charge, and finding it true, abolished it in his department. He character- ized Hoover as the biggest man in America today capable and compe- tent to handle national and interna- tional problems and urged Negro vot- ers to remain within the Republican party and manfully contend for every constitutional right. RACE RELIGION AND RUM | (Continued from Page One) ‘of republicanism. The hoped fo: re- inforcement in the south comes from the Ku Klux Klan ranks. The lily whites are but another name for the Klansmen, translated into political terms. G. 0. P, Acquiescent Beneficiary The republican party becomes the acquiescent beneficiary of the evil machinations of the most insiduous order that has ever been permitted to raise its head in America. The question naturally arises, “What wil Mr. Hoover do when he succeeds to the presidency with such a heavy handicap of accepted assistance?” Can he meet the just demands of the Negro and satisfy the Ku Klux Klan at the same time? Their claims are antithetic, Candor compels frank ad- miration of Secretary Work who can work his black wheel horses and lily white steads in the same harness Prof. John R. Hawkins and Senator Sigmon, who by waving the re¢ of white supremacy drove the ‘Negro republican out of North Caro lina ‘are now both pulling for the THEE MUPFRIIOKH | same candidate, though Senator Sim- mons has not expressed repentance, nor Mr. Hawkins a change of heart. Surely politics makes strange bed- fellows. Can this fellowship survive ‘the election? We must rely upon the political genius of Mr. Hoover to har- monize the inharmonious. If the Ne- gro’s republicanism can stand the strain of this campaign, it will cer- tainly endure forever. As things now look, Mr. Hoover will be triumphant by a majority whose margin will be beyond the capacity of the Negro vote to affect. Bigotry is hard to ee You may as well go reason with the wolf why he has made the ewe bleat for the lamb as try to argue with race hatred and religious bigotry. There is nothing to do with [this wave of hysteria but let it wear itself out. Like all other fanatical movements. it has its own length. The Billy Sunday-psychology is short- lived. The lynching of Negroes, the ‘persecution of Catholics, the same fanaticism of bigots are but transient phases of the disordered spirit. The wave is now in the ascendant. It will hardly subside before election, But election returns do not affect funda- mental principles. When Mr. Hoover wins, his hardest task will be to dis- ‘entangle prohibition from the ugly race and religious issues with which it is involved. He will have a much more difficult task than Harding or Coolidge ever had. The cause of temperance is be- ing murdered by the murderous com- pany it is allowed to keep. Hoover Prohibition’s Hope ‘The demon rum must be destroyed. The salvation of the nation depends spon it. In a double sense the salva- ‘tion of the Negro depends upon it. But it also depends upon the destruc- tion of race incolerance and religious bigotry. The Negroes who persist in supporting Mr. Hoover — and many will—must needs do so with a split mind. Seif-respect compels him to resent racial hatred and religious big- otry, at the same time enlightened self-interest requires him to support prohibition. For after all, notwith- standing the many weights and hin- drances which beset the G. 0. P. in the present campaign in the black man’s eyes, nevertheless Mr. Hoover is prohibition’s best hope. KELLY MILLER. PROHIBITION AND THE CANDIDATE ee ane stuffs which went into the manufac- ture of whisky now can be used for fhe sustenance -of the fanily and home. | His democratic opponent, Mr. ‘Smith, takes the opposite view, that ‘although it is a law, it is the outeome of emotional fanaticism rather than the result of sober reason. That it ‘supplants the legal manufacture and vale of intoxicants with illegal; that it substitutes the secret “saloon” [where men, women and children go junder cover and drink, for the open saloon, where women and children font not go. That it substitutes ‘non-revenue producing, non-taxable institution for a substantial revenue- producing one. That the Eighteenth amendment is consequently inimical to the fundamental principles upon which our democratic form of gov- ernment is founded in that is is un- just, uneconomical and an infringe- ment upon personal liberty. In substantiation, he says that this amendment was enacted during a time when four million of our young men, eligible to vote, were engaged in war, and on foreign soil. That if they had been given the chance to vote then as now they would have op- posed it, and that it would not now be law. That those of us who were here were so seriously engaged in an effort to repair the damages of war that we were willing to favor any measure which seemed to conserve the physical and mental resources of the nation, That a law made under such circumstances does not reflect the sober judgment of the electorate. ‘There is good reason in both of these views. Both will alike attract or repel votes. The writer is moved to write on this issue because of some of the very pronounced sentiment attracted to the Smith camp in the belief that if he is elected, he will bring back the saloon. In fact, two persons, here- tofore bitterly antidemocratic, offered to bet me in sums ranging from $100 up that Smith will win. May I say, that it metters little who wins Novem.

If you know the constitution, you know that our government is divided into three separate heads—legisla- tive, .executive, judicial. The first does the making of the laws; the sec- ond sees to their being carried out, land the third whether they are made in accordance with the constitution. ‘The province of each is clearly de- fined. To change any part of the constitution, it must be done by an amendment. To amend the constitu- ‘tion two-thirds of the houses of con- gress must take favorable action Then three-fourths of the States ‘must do likewise. At present, near- Jy three-fourths of the senate and house are dry. And 46 of the 48 states voted for the amendment. How can we expect to alter it? ‘Therefore, be not carried away by the subtility of the “serpent.” Spoil not your chance to vote intelligently by voting for personalities instead of issues. Let us not vote for Hoover because he is Hoover; nor Smith be- cause he is Smith; but rather for Smith or Hoover for what principles they stand for. Don’t rely so entire- ly upon what the interested politi- cian tells you. Read the issues; study what they mean to your daily life. Examine the policy and practice of those who would likely be placed in official position in case either is elect- ed. Then when you have decided these, go to the polls and mark your ballot accordingly. But, whatever be your choice in November, let it not be said of you as the only exeuse for voting that way that “The serpent beguiled me and I did eat.” ED. F.
