P.)—The Survey of Negro Colleges and Universities which has just been issued by the bureau of education in Washington, speaks in high terms of the work which has been done by Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, during the 75 years of its history. Among other things the survey pointed out that: "Throughout its long history Lincoln university has rendered an excellent service to society worthy in every respect of the support that has been accorded it. The institution for many years has been a strong factor in the development of leadership in the Negro race and many of its graduates are churchmen, educators, and professional men, who have achieved prominence in their chosen fields.

Weaver LIFTING LIFT TOO THE MONITOR THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN CHAIRMAN COLORED VOTERS' DIVISION ISSUES STATEMENT Washington, D. C., Nov. 7—Declaring that the election of Herbert Hoover to the presidency ushered in a new era in the progress and advancement of the Negro, Dr. John R. Hawkins, chairman of the Colored Voters' Division of the republican national committee, expressed his appreciation today for the organized effort and public support which had made the work of the Negro division a success. Dr. Hawkins said, "Whatever we have been able to accomplish in winning votes for Hoover and Curtis in this campaign has been the result of the fine teamwork and loyal spirit of my associate workers in the campaign. I greet you with this message of thanks and rejoice with you over the splendid victory achieved in the election of Hoover and Curtis as well as that of the successful republican candidates in various states. The people have spoken and we accept their verdict. Our campaign was pitched on a high plane and we fought our battles in the open without malice and free from mudslinging. There is no cause for rancor or bitterness anywhere "We were in earnest about the virtue of our cause and championed it with all the fervor of our souls. That victory has come to our side is due very largely to the very fine way in which the cause has been presented and the splendid teamwork of the members of our organization. "The work of the press has been most commendable. Through this medium the public has been intelligently informed as to the issues involved and given an opportunity to pass upon these issues and cast their ballots for those deemed most worthy to be entrusted with the affairs of state. "The elevation of Herbert Hoover to the presidency of the United States means a continuation of those policies which have brought opportunity and plenty to us as a group and I firmly believe ushers in a new era of civic growth and opportunity for the Negro. With this belief, let us turn our faces to the future and do all we can to make this administration one of outstanding achievement." JOHN R. HAWKINS, chairman. Matt Hamler, aged 65, an older brother of A. Hamler, died at his home in Los Angeles, Cal., Saturday. Mr. Hamler had resided in Nebraska for many years, having been a resident of Grand Island for more than thirty years, and of Omaha for four years. About three years ago he left Omaha for Los Angeles.

It would seem to indicate that the hour has struck for America to take a position of moral and righteous leadership among the nations of the earth. Not only has the hour struck, but the man has been found and is soon to be commissioned to wisely lead the nation in our beloved country's onward march towards the higher levels of Christian civilization, embracing a world brotherhood, which we have espied far off, but which seemed too utopian to ever attain. America's great wealth and material prosperity have been given her not for the sordid and selfish purpose of building up a great soulless materialism or materialistic civilization, but for a higher purpose: the cultivation of ethical, cultural and spiritual ideals, issuing in humanitarian service. It would seem providential then that one should be chosen who unites with sound and far-seeing business acumen and administration ability, an idealism which rightly rates spiritual values as among the chief assets of the nation. The student of history who sees with Hegel, "God in history," must be impressed that as the great Ruler of Nations raised up Washington to meet the conditions of his day, Abraham Lincoln for his perilous time, Woodrow Wilson for his task, He has raised up Herbert Hoover for the exegencies of our time and the new era upon which our country and the world have entered. A grave and weighty responsibility has been placed upon the new leader of the nation. Let us all pray that he may have strength and wisdom and courage for his mighty task. And for the party continued in power that it may not betray the confidence of the electorate. There is danger in power and prosperity. "Lord God of hosts be with with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget." Unprecedented National Victory for Republicans Scored at Recent Election Unprecedented National Victory for Republicans Scored at Recent Election An unprecedented outpouring of the American electorate to register their choice at the polls resulted in an unprecedented national victory for the republican party, Tuesday, November 6. Forty of the forty-eight states in the union were carried by Hoover and Curtis. Even the "solid south" liquified under the hot fire of the republican forces. Only six southern states, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina remained in the democratic column. The sweeping victory by the head of the ticket carried with it a decided increase of republicans both in the House and Senate, so that President-to-be Hoover may rely upon enthusiastic support of his policies. Nebraska, famous for its independent electorate and considered one of the doubtful states, rolled up a republican majority of approximately 145,000 for Hoover, electing practically its entire state and congressional ticket. R. Beecher Howell defeated Richard L. Metcalfe for the United States senate by 109,000, although he lost Douglas county by approximately 6,000. W. G. Sears was re-elected from the Second district. Arthur J. Weaver defeated Charles W. Bryan, for governor, by 75,000. Four of the six congressmen elected are republicans. In the state legislature republicans win 74 seats in the House and 23 in the senate, giving the democrats 26 places in the House and ten in the senate. Douglas county will send a divided delegation to the legislature. The strong Smith vote in several legislative districts accounts for this, dem- OUR CONGRESSMAN Hon Willis G.

This accounts for Barnett's defeat in the Tenth district which was carried by democrats. Three state senators will be republicans, Randall, Rodman and Cooper, and two democrats, Dworak and Easton. Six representatives will be republican, McKay, McMillan, Drudesow, Foster, Wynne, and Kehm. The seven democrats are Gardner, Howard, Jelen, Sloup, Lowry, McMahon, and Cone. Important local measures like the bond issue for a new county hospital, and the street railway franchise passed with substantial majorities. Judge Frank S. Howell was defeated in a close race for the Supreme bench, by Judge L. B. Day. Six of the present district judges, Troup, Leslie, Redick, Fitzgerald, Rhoades and Hastings were re-elected; Dineen, Thomsen and Foster being the other winners. SENATOR FEARS TWO WHITE PARTIES IN SOUTH Lake Providence, La.—(By the A. N. P.)—United States Senator Joseph Ransdell, democrat, in an address here, declared that "There would be grave danger in Louisiana and other southern states in two strong white political parties each of which would contend for the Negro vote. Good Negroes in the south are prosperous and happy, but if they are persuaded by designing whites to enter the political arena, there is certain to be a return to the fraud and violence of reconstruction days, with great loss of life and sorrow to both races. --- Vol. XIV—No. 19 Wh OUR VICE PRESIDENT OUR VICE PRESIDENT W.

ADD NEW TEACHERS TO STAFF Club and class work began later than usual, due to painting of the building, repairs and work of the directors in the Chest drive. The outside painting was done by some older boys, assisted by men and women of the neighborhood. This was volunteer labor. The boys were given spending change when the painting was finished. These boys, Sinclair Breakfield, George Starnes, Edwin Smith and Cecil Merrill, donated a part of the money earned at the Center to the Community Chest. Children of the Center added to the donation. This gift from the Center's children came as a surprise and was greatly appreciated. These children had already given to the Chest in school. Mrs. Busch, Mrs. Rhone and others worked faithfully in the drive, assisting Mrs. Northcross, who headed the colored group on the South Side. The following new teachers are on our staff: Lawyer Pinkett, who is a volunteer, and teaches Negro History. Members of both races are in the class, which has a large number of high school pupils. Mrs. Addie Morrow of the South Side (a graduate of one of our normal schools), volunteers as teacher of our junior girls' sewing class. Mrs. Ruth Murdock teaches woodcraft to older boys and younger girls and boys. Miss Hallie Johnson teaches the junior girls' cooking class. Mrs. Henderson, of the Extension Department of the University of Nebraska, teaches women's dressmaking. This class doubled itself at the second meeting and was necessarily divided into two groups, sixteen women in each group. Other classes are: Boys' chef class, gift class, for older girls, and piano, which is being taught by Miss Willa Hayes. These classes are meeting weekly. The following clubs are meeting weekly: Boy Scouts, Mr. John Wakefield, Scout Master; Boys' Brotherhood, boys over 12; Boy Midgets, under 12; The Club: Girls' "Ever Ready Club," girls 12-15; "Golden Stars," girls 8-12; and Employed Boys' and Girls' Club.

P.)—"Harlem," a forum of Negro life, is a new independent monthly magazine, the initial issue of which appeared during the first week of November. This issue contains a number of articles, stories, poems and book reviews by many well-known and prominent Negro writers. Walter White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and author of two novels, "The Fire in the Flint," and "Flight," contributes an article entitled "For Whom Shall the Negro Vote?" in which he discusses the attitude of both of the old parties toward Negroes. Mr. White suggests that it is far better that the Negro marshall his vote for local purposes than to be concerned immediately with the presidential election. He also pleads that the Negro cease being a slovenly or easily corrupted voter. In the same issue, Alain Locke, professor of philosophy at Howard university, and editor of "The New Negro," writes on "Art or Propaganda?" giving voice to the hope that through art the Negro will find a new means of combating race prejudice and his own inferiority complex. Also in this issue there is a short story by Langston Hughes, author of "The Weary Blues" and "Fine Clothes to the Jew;" a pen portrait of a hard-boiled amusing Negro top-sergeant, named Woof, by George S. Schuyler; a resume of the "breaks" which have caused certain well-known Negro actors to the top of their profession by Theophilus Lewis, and other essays, short stories and poems. "Harlem" is to be without any prejudice or specific policies, dedicated to the idea of giving expression to any one who has something to say as long as they say it with some degree of literary merit. It will cater to no especial coterie nor will its contributors be confined to Negro writers alone. "Harlem" will be an endeavor on the part of its editors to provide the Negro public with a first class literary magazine which will enable them to know what is going on in the world of thought, awaken their interest in things not necessarily connected with the race, and bring them fresh viewpoints on old problems. The new magazine is edited by Wallace Thurman, who is the author of "The Blacker the Berry," a novel of Negro life to be published this winter by Macaulay, and the co-author of the play "Black Belt," to be produced in New York this season. Mr. Thurman is also well known as a contributor to the various literary magazines and has been connected in the past with the editorial staffs of The Messenger and The World Tomorrow. Aaron Douglas, whose distinctive work is known throughout the country, and who also did the illustrations for "God's Trombones," by James Weldon Johnson, is the art editor. "Harlem" is published by the H. K. Parker Publishing company, with offices at 2376 Seventh avenue, New York City. URBAN LEAGUE EXECUTIVE TO ADDRESS CONFERENCE Eugene Kinckle Jones of New York, executive secretary of the National Urban League, will be the principal speaker on Monday evening, November 12th, at the State Conference of Social Workers. Mr. Jones' subject is "The Negro's Opportunity Today." On Thursday morning he will open the discussion on Race Relations. Several of the local social workers are scheduled to appear on the program during this session. On Wednesday noon, Mr. Jones will be the guest of the Omaha Urban League board of directors at a luncheon at the University Club. On Wednesday he will address a public meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr. Jones is a recognized authority in race relations and he has had a wide and varied experience as a social worker. He was one of the ten Americans chosen as a delegate to the International Conference of Social Workers in Paris. For several years he has served as a member of the executive board of the National Conference of Social Workers. He is one of the seven founders of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity of college men and officer of the National Tennis Association. Meetings held at the Jewish Community Center, Twenty-ninth and Dodge streets. The admission is free. OMAHA URBAN LEAGUE HONORS NATIONAL EXECUTIVE A public reception will be given for Mr. Eugen2 Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, on Tuesday evening, November 13th, between the hours of 8 and 10 p. m., at the North Side Y. W. C. A., Twenty-second and Grant streets. Mr. Jones is one of the outstanding authorities in America in the field of social work and this occasion will afford an opportunity for a number of Omahans to meet him. URBAN LEAGUE INCREASES FELLOWSHIPS TO SIX The National Urban League announces that three additional fellowships have been added to the total number maintained by the League at leading schools of social work. These three are the Julius Rosenwald Fund Fellowships of $1,200 each, and have been awarded to Norman R. Bolden, C. Felton Gayles and Wiley A. Hall. Mr. Bolden, who has been assigned to the Graduate School of Social Administration of the University of Chicago, is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, B. A., 1926, and last year taught at the A. and T. College, Greensboro, N. C. Mr. Gayles, who is assigned to the New York School of Social Work, is a graduate of Morehouse College, A. B., 1924, spent a semester at the Graduate School of Northwestern University and was teacher and coach last year at Tennessee State College. Mr. Hall, assigned to the University of Pittsburgh, is a graduate of Virginia Union University, and was a teacher for several years at the Armstrong High school, Richmond, Va. Previous to this time, he was in insurance work. The other Fellows of the League are Miss Louise A. Thompson, the "Ella Sachs Plotz" Fellow, assigned to the New York School of Social Work, who is a graduate of the University of California and last year was a teacher at Hampton Institute; Joseph S. Jackson, graduate 1927 Livingstone College, Salisbury, N. C., Joint Fellow of the League and the New York School of Social Work, as THE MONITOR signed to the New York School of Social Work, and James H. Baker, Jr., graduate 1926 Lincoln University and last year graduate student in Personnel Management and Industrial Relations at the University of Pennsylvania, assigned to the University of Pittsburgh. These six Fellows are training to enter some form of social work and it is thought that several of them will be later assigned to executive positions with the Urban League movement. OXLEY AGAIN LEGION VICE-COMMANDER Gastonia, N. C.—(By the A. N. P.)—Captain R. Gregg Cherry, commander, department of North Carolina, the American Legion, has announced the reappointment of Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley as department vice-commander. This marks the third consecutive year that Lieut. Oxley has been selected by Negro and white veterans of the state to serve as one of the four department vice-commanders. Three of the department vice-commanders are white veterans. North Carolina is the only state where a veteran of color has been selected as a department officer, in the American Legion. In addition to his many duties relating to the welfare of Negro veterans in the state, Lieutenant Oxley for the past four years has been state director of Negro welfare for North Carolina. TUSKEGEE TO OBSERVE ARMISTICE, DAY Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—(By the A. N. P.)—Armistice day will be observed here Sunday, November 11, with a program of military maneuvers by cadets, mass singing and a pageant by the student body and addresses by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal and Colonel Joseph H. Ward, medical officer in charge, U. S. Vetrans' hospital, No. 91. The exercises will be held in the alumni bowl. A most marvelous sunset this evening, outside the Bab Djeddj. The vast plain in its arid desolation gave the impression of a desert, flooded with the gold light of the level sun. The clouds hung over the mauve mountains of Trozza and Serdj, impregnated with purple and rimmed with bright gold. It was a land of fury, dissolving under the enchantment of the sun, whose power drew forth such fantasies in blue, red green and yellow. Behind us lay the walls of the city, in the rosy light of evening, which fell upon towers and cupolas. Then in the still air, as the world faded under an emerald sky, came the clear voice of the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer, while through the gates the shepherds slowly led in their flocks.—From the Diary of Russell Beresford. Inventions by Women One woman had the idea to make silver forks and spoons with a curving handle, which prevented their slipping into the plate, such a good idea that it is strange no one ever thought of it before. The traveler who finds his portable desk a joy has a woman to thank for the invention. A lock faucet for metal containers is an invention in practical demand for hotel storerooms and an important safety device. The same woman invented also a handy needle threader to use on sewing machines. Love of Open Inherent The impulse to get into the open is primitive in us. We love the breath of the spaces not cluttered with houses and rank with the odors of civilized life. Under the stars and the moon we can think clean thoughts. From the busy fields we can drink inspirations unknown to the office and the counting house. In the song of the winds we may hear the cradle illabables of our infancy or the strange melodies which thus come, different and alone. to the individual soul.—Kansas City Times. A Los Angeles sportsman returning from a fishing trip to another county reports finding the following proclamation tacked to a tree: "Tresspassers on this here property will be prosecuted to the full extent of two dogs that ain't overkindly disposed to strangers, and adouble barrel shotgun which ain't loaded with pills. Business Disaster Robert, seven years old, out riding with his parents, passed the local drug store, which had just changed bands. "What has happened to Mr. Brown?" he was asked. "Oh," replied Robert casually, "he's out of business; he went bank-robbed." "Buying movement follows early nervousness." That sounds like a stock market note, but it merely refers to the fellow who finally has made up his mind to buy the ring.—New Orleans Times-Picayune. Gentle Hint Trespassers "I'm gettin'—tired of ye." Guess Again Great Minds Attuned There is a sincerity in nature, and, in the free out of doors, things really are most often what they seem, despite the vagaries of mirage and the deceptions of distance occasioned by atmospheric clarity. The artificial needs a particular setting. The sunshine and the stars and the blue vault of heaven are honest. The groves were Divinity's first temples because they were and remain the most fitting temples in which the Universal Spirit may be worshiped. In the groves, on the mountainsides, by the shores of the seas we find dignity and peace and repose—the something which appeals directly to the soul. There is there nothing of the garish, nothing of the vulgar, nothing of the trivial and small, no distracting roughness of harmony to hold us to the commonplace experiences of life. So Socrates went speaking in the open, as did the vagabond Villon when coling his immortal melodies, as did Goldsmith and Walt Whitman and many another who got close to the heart of the Spirit of Nature. So Jesus—Man of the open spaces—spoke from the mountain and the field and from under the trees; by the brookside, and where the murmur of the sea waves filled the mind and the soul with thoughts of harmony—Cincinnati Enquirer. Early Friction Match The "Portable Fire Box," as it was called, was one of the earliest forms of "instantaneous lights," and was invented in Italy in 1786. Similar to it was the "Prometheus Match," patented by Samuel Jones, an Englishman in 1828. A minute quantity of sulphuric acid sealed in a tiny glass vesicle, surrounded by a compound of chlorate of potash, was enclosed in a paper spill. When the glass vesicle was broken, either by the hammer supplied with the "match" or with the teeth, the acid inflamed the potash and ignited the paper. Despite the many claimants, the honor of inventing the first real "friction match" of the kind with which we are familiar today belongs to John Walker, a Stockton-on-Tess chemist in 1826 he was selling his friction lights for a shilling for a hundred, and twopence for the box. The match was pressed between the fingers in a piece of sandpaper Listen to It Grow If you wish to try an unusual experience find a clump of eulalia on the first really warm day of spring when the trees are leafless, the ground bare, and the thermometer hovers between 70 and 80. Then stand quietly and listen to it grow. You will soon hear a sharp click among this hardy, tall-plumed plant that grows on lawns in all parts of the country. It will sound as loud as a snap of your fingers. New shoots are trying to push between the stalks of last year, and the flinty hardness of the dead canes holds them back. Youth will not be denied. The shoots shoulder their way between the bases of the old canes expanding quickly in the spring sunshine. The strain increases until the old wood gives way with a snap.—Nature Magazine. New Yellowstone Geyser Many people are in the habit of regarding geysers as stable institutions like mountains and lakes. But such is not the case. Geysers come and go with little notice. This is proved by the fact that recently one of the largest geysers in the world opened up in Yellowstone National park. Twice a day the new geyser spouts a terrific stream of water about 75 feet high and continues for three hours. Its crater is 100 feet wide, 120 long, and 8 deep. It is near the famous Excelor geyser which ceased to spout in 1888. Must Be Right to Endure I am not discouraged. Things will right themselves. The pendulum swings one way and then another. But the steady pull of gravitation is toward the center of the earth. Any structure must be plumb if it is to endure, or the building will fall. So it is with nations. Wrong may seem to triumph. Right may seem to be defeated. But the gravitation of eternal justice is toward the Throne of God. Any political institution which is to endure must be plumb with the line of justice.—From the last speech of John P. Altgeld. Cecil's mother made it a rule that if he came to the dinner table late he was not to speak during the meal. The other day, as soon as he entered the room, he began. "I say, mother," but his mother quickly reminded him of the rule. "But, mother—" he persisted. "Not a word," said the stern parent. When dinner was over, his mother asked what he wanted to say. "Oh. I only wanted to say baby was filling father's socks with condensed milk." "Have you got those letters stamped and ready to go?" asked dad as he pulled on one coat sleeve in the morning. "Yea, here yare." The letters were given to him and he headed for the door to go when he was stopped by a command from his wee daughter. "Wait, dadly," she plued, "here's a letter I undressed." Too Late One More Letter When Gasoline Was Dumped Into Ocean In the process of distilling petroleum, the lighter oils, naphtha and gasoline are first obtained, and these were considered waste products for many years. Kerosene, the heavier oils and greases, constituted the greatest demand, and gasoline had only a limited use in exceedingly small quantities, such as the cleaning of fabrics. Not only was gasoline practically useless in the "good old days," but it was dangerous because of the attendant risk of fire which was ever present wherever quantities were stored. Millions of gallons were loaded into huge tanks on barges, transported far out to sea, and there dumped. Thus was the fire hazard averted. The advent of the internal combustion engine changed all this, and gasoline in a few years became the principal product of the petroleum trade. Kerosene lost caste with the coming of the electric light. The development of the automobile made the petroleum industry one of the richest of the nation, and the "dangerous byproduct" became one of our principal articles of trade. In the early days of the automobile, when fuel was cheap, few manufacturers paid much attention to operating costs of their cars. Automobiles were costly, and the men who purchased them were wealthy. Gasoline was comparatively cheap, and the early automobiles used plenty of it. Modern times have changed all this, and economy of operation is one of the essential requirements of the present-day automobile. Exhaustive tests are made and every available scientific aid is used in this research. Crest Britain Noted Recently a local contemporary informed its readers that a certain Shiamee nobleman, whose interests in the dairying industry are well known and meritoriously popular, has Australian cows. He said that he hadn't that his cows were Zebu, the Indian humped cow, or the purely native one. Which leads us to remark that of all the lands on earth Great Britain presumably has the greatest number of breeds of cows. The Royal Agricultural society recognizes the Shorthorn, Herford, Sussex, Welsh, Longborn, Aberdeen-Angus, Belted Galloway, Galloway Park, Dairy Shorthorn, Lincolnshire, Red Shorthorn, Devon, South Devon, Red Poll, Blue Albion, British Friesian, Ayrshire, Guernsey, Kerry and Dexter. Which would seem quite a lot for the small area that is its habitat.—Siam Observer. The Native Doctor The native trained in medical work is becoming a main factor in bringing about the new day in Africa, states the Missionary Herald, an English Baptist monthly. It says further: M Louis Franck's humorous description of the native medical assistant confronting the witch doctor could be echoed by every missionary. "Standing before the witch doctor he says to that ancient charlatan—'You are an ass,' and then proceeds to prove it.' 'Look,' says he, 'through the lens of my microscope at the minute creature shown there. This is the cause of disease, not the entrance of an evil spirit. You know nothing at all about it. I am the one who knows.' Hence the end of the witch doctor's influence." Primitive Counting While enjoying a holiday in Finland, writes an English traveler, I flew across by seaplane to spend a day in Reval, the capital of Estonia, and I was very interested to see that in all shops they still use the ancient and primitive abacus, the frame with colored buffs, used in kindergartens, for purposes of adding. I went first to a bank to change a sovereign. They accepted the coin with some suspiclon and checked the notes they gave me on one of these ball frames, and when I went to the post office to get a set of stamps as a souvenir they totaled the amount I had to pay by the same method. I am no mathe matician, but I got my total first. Danger in Transplanting Trees, like people, lose adaptability with advancing age, and a relatively minor change in their environments may be fatal. Entomologists of the Department of Agriculture say that transplanting almost always is a severe test for trees of considerable size and many transplanted trees are attacked by insects if most of the large trees in a grove are killed, leaving only a border of trees or small groups, the survivors often suffer serious damage and die. This may be the result of a disturbance of moisture conditions and a change from general shade to large areas of sun-baked soil. Borkers then may complete the deadly work. Milky Wav The most stupendous of all celestial objects is the Galaxy, more commonly known as the Milky Way. In fact it is our whole universe, of which the sun with all its attendant family of planets, including asteroids and satellites, as well as comets, forms a very humble member. Its appearance as a dim white band crossing the heavens is merely a matter of perspective; that band marks simply the plane of greatest extension of the Milky Way—the direction in which the stars. In reality fairly uniformly distributed, aphelion congested by the effect of distance. Many of these stars are immensely brighter than the sun. FOR RENT—Neatly furnished room. Modern home.
