Harden, has been in Omaha visiting friends this week. He looks as young as a man in the late twen ties, but when it is recalled that he has a son fighting for Uncle Sam, one readily understands that his looks camouflage his age. He has been for a number of years on the Z. L. Bar ranch at Sussex, Wyoming, which he says is the only life. He is in love 'with ranch life. He says he wants to keep in touch with Omaha by read ing The Monitor, which he says is a great paper, for which he promptly paid his subscription. He said, “I’m not much of a writer, but I think I may be able to see an interesting story occasionally from the ranch, which your readers will enjoy.” He was told to send on stories reg ularly. MULLEN FERMNST WI.MMTN VOTIN’, BEJABERS! ALSO “NADI RS,” BEDAI)’ Giving Negro Vote Mistake, He Says —“Woman Suffrage Would Be An other”—Stands With Hitchcock. Arthur Mullen, Nebraska’s demo cratic boss, still believes “woman’s place is in the home,” and he doesn’t care who knows it. Just prior .o the recent vote on the suffrage amendment at Wash ington, Mrs. James Richardson and Mrs. H. C. Sumney were asked by the National Suffrage association to ask Mr. Mulien’s support of the amendment, hearing that he had some influence with Senator Hitch cock. “The government made a mistake in giving the vote to Negroes, and I I don’t want to make another mis take by giving it to women,” com placently replied Mr. Mullen. He expressed himself as not be lieving the federal government should have any right to decide about color or sex of voters. Senator l-Iitchcock voted against the amendment. The above item—not the first head ing—is from (he Daily News of Oc ober 20. The Monitor interviewed Mr. Mullen and gave him an oppor tunity to deny the statement accred ited to him. He couldn’t deny that these are his views. Of course he has a right in bis opinion.—Editor The Monitor. LA GRANGE, TEX. H. L. Vincent, Agent We cannot understand how it is that we never see some of our most capable citizens so far as learning is concerned identify themselves t.vith any move that will help to elevate our people. If it is not a gain to them in somp way they stay at home. True education does not behave itself in any such way. If we are to be a blessing to our people and the world, we must pray for and possess more of that spirit which characterized the "Pen of Man,” who W’ent about doing good. lb v. S. A.

WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER IS CALLEE Wife of Editor of Boston Guardian Prominent in Lierary and Philan thropic Work, Is Dead. Boston, Mass.,Oct. 24.—The funeral of Mrs. Geraldine Louise Pindell, wife of William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Guardian, was held October 12 at 2 o’clock from her home. The Rev. Walter D. McGlane, rector of St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal church of Cambridge, conducted the service with the Episcopal ritual. “Crossing the Bar" and “Fear Ye Not, 0 Israel,” from “Elijah,” were sung by Harry Delmore, tenor. The gray casket was banked with a profusion of beautiful floral tributes, one from the Boston Lierary association, another from the men of the Parker House. There was a large attendance of friends. Interment was at Fail-view cemetery, Hyde Park. Mrs. Trotter left to mourn her loss her mother, Mrs. Mary Pindell; a sister, Miss Ger trude Pindell; a foster brother and her husband. Geraldine Louise Trotter was born in Boston October 3, 1872, the daugh ter of Charles E. and Mary Pindell.

Her chief life work was asso ciate manager of the Boston Guar dian, an organ for equal rights for Colored Americans, published by Mr. Trotter. But she engaged in much public-spirited work. She secured pardons for several Colored inmate: of the state prison, notably the late William E. Hill, who had been there more than forty years. She was ex ecutive chairman of the Boston Lit erary association, arranging the lov ing cup pesentation to Moorfield Storey in Faneuil hall. She organized a women’s anti-lynching committee, and was a member of the Equal Rights league. Her chief activities recently were for the Colored soldiers. She present ed the national colors to the 519th engineers at Camp Devens in behalf of the state; organized the Godmoth ers’ association to this, the only Col ored unit, which went overseas from Massachusetts, and begun organizing with a “circle of cheer” at Newbury port. She was a member of the Sol diers’ Comfort Unit and Sunday host ess at its war service center. Her last act was to send fruit to the Colored soldiers at Camn Levens who were ill with influenza. She was a communi cant of St. Mary’s Episcopal churchin Dorchester. Few members of her race were better known. She was an able newspaper woman and ready public speaker. SPANISH FLC INDIGNANT AT OMAHA PHYSICIAN Dr. L. E. Britt was detained at home for a few days with the “flu.” That’s what he gets for saying that the “Spanish flu is the old fashioned influenza in a more aggravated form." This is what he told The Monitor man one day: and the Spanish flu became so indignant that a man like Dr. Britt should put his royal highness in such a plebian class as “Old fashioned in fluenza,” that he immediately flew at the stalwart doctor in. a great rage and did the only thing he could do for a man from Missouri, showed him.
