TOOTH PASTE MANUFACTUR ED BY LOCAL RACE FIRM Dentlo is the name of one of the best tooth pastes on the market today. It has no superior and few equals. It is manufactured by the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories of this city. The laboratories are located in the three story brick building and frame annex at Sixteenth street near Cum ings. Suppose only one-tenth of the colored population of Omaha would buy one tube of “Dentlo” a month at 25 cents per tube, how long do you think it would take to mak ethe Kaf fir Chemical Laboratories one of the strongest race enterprises in the coun try Do you use “Dentlo?” If not, why not buy a tube and try it? Ask your druggist for it or buy it at the laboratories. Write for a tube, if you do not live in the city. Mail orders promptly filled. EDITORIAL COMMENT ON DEFEAT OF DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL (Continued from Page One) land, or, it will pay dearly for neglect ing to do so. Finally, the Negro, or any otner : race or group, has little to hope for politically until it can exercise the | right of the ballot—the right guar anteed every native bom or natural j ized citizen of the United States. Of I course, one group—and only one—of i citizens in this country is unjustly de j prived o fthis right, although they ! have always proved their loyalty to Old Glory in time of peace, and have shown their patriotism on a thousand battle-fields in time of war. But in justice cannot last forever; might must eventually give way to RIGHT. —Shreeveport (La.) Sun. I (And this from the influential na tional white weekly, The Nation New York:) VICTORY FOR REACTION FRY FORCES The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is dead; long live the next anti-lynching bill! The Republican leaders, whose only interest in the bill was a desire to pacify their Negro constituents, surrendered—as, according to Wash ington rumor, had been prearranged— to the blustering filibuster of the Southern Democrats. The defeat of the bill is a victory for the reactionary forces of the white South, a victory, in effet, for lynching. Senator Overman of North Carolina stated an absolute falsehool when he declared that "the decent hard-working Negroes of the South enjoy every safe-guard of the law." They do not. Nor is it true, as he asserted, that they neither want ed nor needed Federal protective leg islation. Yet the campaign for the bill is not wholly lost. The ghastly facts of lynching have been advertised to the American people; the lies about the causes of lynching have been ex posed; more people than ever before realize America’s national Bhame. When the colored people make their next effort at self-protection we hope they will not rely again on the old i guard of republicans but will seek the aid of the progressive group. Senator Borah, who believed against his will that the Dyer bill was unconstitutional might be willing to lend his aid in dis covering an even more satisfactory method of Federal protection. KILLING THE ANTI-LYNCHING BILL At this particular moment, when the spirit of lawlessness as embodied by the Ku Klux Klan, has spread so far, and has taken such deep hold on large paits of the population of this country, it is regretable to see the at titude adopted by the democrats in the senate toward the Dyer anti lynching bill. The anti-1 yncihng bill is not remote in its import from matters that affect the Ku Klux Klan. Lynching is in the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan. and an inti-iynching law at this time would . oe considered a welcome set-back to i the hooded fraternity. V e find, instead of the support which the measuie merits, a policy of filibustering on the part of lead ng democrats. Senator Underwood tries to delay action by giving notice that no other business in the house i would Ire transacted until the anti | lynching bill had been withdrawn. Senator Harrison puts his own spoke into the wheel by asking for a detail ed reading of the journal of the day I preceding. .Senators Underwood, Swanson and others aid him In hold i ing off consideration of the bill. , It is a sorry' spectacle, especially when it is understood in its illation not to the merits of the case, but to the merits of voting values. Demo crats are forever playing for their part of the southern vote—the anti Negro sentiment, the heritage of more than half a century. And at a time when the country is thoroughly dis ! gusted with the record of lawless i Negro murders, and disturbed by the possibility of their increase because of the Ku Klux Klan propaganda, the : politicians play their ancient game i independently of the need of the coun try.—Der Tag (New York Jewish Daily). DISSATISFACTION IS DEVELOPING IN CENTRAL AMERICA Belize, Br. Honduras, Dec. 8—The large Negro population of this unde veloped British Crown Colony in Cen tral America are dissatisfied with their present political status and the operations of the system of Crown Colony government. Under present conditions the people1 who produce wealth, pay taxes and make the colony what it is have prac tically no voice in the management of 1 their own affairs and are subject to the whims and wishes of appointees from Downing street. That this con dition shall not be uffered forever is the determination of the younger gen eration who refuse to be bamboozled by propaganda about Africa when they know that they form a majority of the population of this large, fertile and immensely rich territory in the western world. WIFE COLORED, HE SAYS, IN SUIT FOR DIVORCE! New York. Dec. 10—Alleging that! his wife had forgotten to supply him with her family genealogical tree, and had therefore kept from him her know ledge that she possessed Negro blood, one John Stovall, a white insurance broker of 2261 Andrews avenue, Bronx has broken into the newspaper col umns by seeking before Supreme Court Justice Faber to have his mar riage annulled. The Stovalls have been married and living together for a year. They were , evidently fairly successful in their j negotiation of the rocky road of mat-; rimony until old ubiquitous Mother in-Law sprang the coup in the tradi- . tional fight between son’s wife and 1 son’s mother and handed Cupid the [ count by her revelation that Mrs. Stovall was of Negro blood. Mrs. Sto vall, who is only 20 years old, takes the position, through her attorney, that as nobody had ever questioned her as to her race ties she had felt no obligation to boast of her possession of the blood of the Pharaohs. Justice Faber directed that the case be tried next month. In the mean time speculation is rife as to whether the courts could stand the burden ii every wifie and every hubby with the least drop of Negro blood in their veins were sued for separation. It is said that thousands of light colored people are at present "passing” and that somewhere between one and two millions apparently white people have colored blood in their veins, them selves apparently unaware of the fact.

DUMMY EGYPTIAN CABINET OUT Cairo, Deft., 8.—■(Crusader Service.) —The Egyptian cabinet has resigned owing to a disagreement with the British intruders regarding the Sou dan. The Egyptian government desired to include in the new constitution two clauses specifying that the king of Egypt was sovereign of the Soudan, and the Soudan Integrally Egyptian. To this the British land-grabbers ob jected. It is expected that Zaghiouist (na tionalist) influence will dominate the next cabinet and that the new minis try will primarily demand a clearer understanding of the limits of British authority in the Nile valley.
