The Lincoln League, with its well chosen name, recently In session in Chicago, may become a useful instru ment in aiding the colored people in their fight for Justice, if it stands firm for the right and is not merely an ap pendage of the republican party. It should be kept a nonpartisan body and the members should see that it does not degenerate into a jlracrow organ ization ready to sell out to the highest cash bidder. Here aro three striking examples of the wisdom of nonpartisan action: The prohibition victory was won by nonpartisan work. The prohibition forces aided the party which was will ing to reciprocate. National woman’s suffrage has been practically achieved because the suf fragists have kept aloof from partisan politics and voted for the candidates and party which offered the most in the suffrage line. Labor has been victorious in its bat tles because it has not attempted to do the un-American thing of organizing a labor party. Lynching, segregation and the thou sand and one obstacles which lie in the path of the colored people may be swept aside, if colored voters will Ignore party lines, republican, demo cratic, socialist, labor or other and vote for the party or candidate which offerB the most in Justice and rights.— The Appeal (St. Paul, Minn.). RELATIVE OF OMAHA MAN WITH WOOD TARTY Andrew Moss, son of Attorney John W. Mohs of Washington, D. C„ who has been a messenger in the war de partment for the past fifteen years, and a special protege of General Ba ker, is a splendid type of the keen, alert, intelligent young men of the day. He is a member of the Wood party and both officers spoke of him to his cousin, M. F. Singleton, in the most complimentary terms. This was Mr. Moss’ first visit to Omaha. His glimpse of our city has given him a desire to return when he can remain longer. Naturally, ho is an enthusi astic Wood booster, ANNUAL QUIET DAY FOR WOMEN. Next Thursday the Rev.

NEGRO HATER DEFENDANT AGAIN IN DIVORCE SUIT Claude Nethaway, whose second trial for leading a mob whirh lynched a Negro at the court house is pending, is now defendant in a divorce suit, all over his continual talk about "nigger lovers.” His second wife, Who is now seek ing divorce, says Nethaway is nutty about the "Negro question” and makes her life miserable. It has been sug gested that Mrs. Nethaway is using good Judgment. It has also been sug gested by a lot of people that Netha way's first wife would have used good judgment had she taken similar ac tion. As a general proposition those in touch with all the Nethaway business were never very well satisfied about the manner in which the trial of Mrs. Nethaway's slayer ended. Nethaway himself has lost considerable respect of former friends and his latest es capade tends to enhance that condi tion.

Speaking of her, Mrs. Waters said: “God bless her, I cannot begin to tell you how much we loved her. We called her auntie, but she was all that a mother could be to us. You cannot under stand how fully she took Ed and me into her warm loving heart. If there ever was a sincere Christian soul it was she. ‘She hath done what she could,’ fittingly applies to her.” This sincere tribute to Mrs. Jennie Pearson speaks eloquently of her long and useful life.
