To the Monitor, Omaha, Neb.: A few evenings ago it was my pleasure to hear Rev. M. H. Wilkin son deliver his famous lecture, “The Why, Whom and When to Marry.” The lecture was a masterly literary effort. It indicated wide reading, careful preparation and profound learning, a scientific knowledge of a popular subject. It was the one great literary production that it has been my pleasure to hear in recent years. It. should be heard by all of our peo ples. Its sparkling humor, original wit, chaste English and bold imagery, make it a classic. Hear it if possible. GRIFFIN G. LOGAN, Minister, Grove M. E. Church, Omaha, Neb. Omaha, Neb., March 6, 1917. Editor The Monitor: I am glad you made the point in your editorial that Sheriff Clark promised and should give us a deputy sheriff and not an elevator conduc tor’s job. It now seems that Mr. Clark has appointed Sergeant Isaac Bailey as elevator conductor, which has precipitated a fight with the county commissioners, with the pros pect that the Colored people will get nothing. Had Sheriff Clark done what he promised he would do for the Negroes there would be no controversy. 1 understand that the Supreme Court held in the McShane case that the sheriff has full power to appoint his deputies. Why did not Mr. Clark ap point a Colored man a deputy and then detail him to some special posi tion? Now that a controversy has arisen about the appointment of the elevator conductor, it is no defense of Mr. Clark’s action to try to place blame for the fault on Commissioner John C. Lynch. Those who have not kept their promises in other ways should do so, but Mr. Clark should not try to escape by “passing the buck.” Very truly yours, OLE JACKSON. March 2, 1917.
