I would be STRONG for there is much to suffer, I would be BRAVE for there is much to dare, I would be FRIEND to all the many friendless, I would be GIVING and forget the gift, I would be HUMBLE for I know my weakness, I would LOOK UP, and laugh and love and lift. —Howard Walter. ENDURANCE COUNTS j^ TEACHER at the Kellom school gave us the subject for this edi torial. She did not know that she was doing it. But we thank her just the same and believe that it will en able us to drive home an important truth and to give an inspiring mes sage. We were attending the annua! school meet, or field day exercises, in which the athletes of the upper grades were contending for the cham pionship in various events for their prospective rooms and for the honor of representing their school in the an nual city school meet at Ak-Sar-Ben field next Monday. Several of the pupils who scored, both among the girls and boys, were colored children This was especially true in the long distance runs. This teacher said, “11 has been my observation that the col ored children are superior to white children in ENDURANCE. In shon distance races you will notice that the white children show up best, but whei it comes to the long distance races where it takes endurance the coloree children almost invariably win. I havi noticed this particularly.” The event of the day seemed to justify her con elusion for most of the long distance events were won by colored boys am girls. But her words awakened in u a train of thought, not new, but oh and it was this, ENDURANCI COUNTS. Endurance counts in man ways. We thought of the man; things our people have to meet am overcome, of the many discourage ments which confront us, of the crue disappointments which our youth hav to endure, not only those common t all humanity, but which in this lam additionally are peculiar to our grour and then in these fleet-footed young sters competing with fleet-foote youngsters of the various nationalise who compose the large and happy Kellom school family we read the prophecy of a better day of larger and more equal opportunities for which this school life is the prepara tion in the knowledge that endurance counts. It does. It always counts and tells. This principle is emphas ized in Sacred Writ—"He that en dureth to the end, the same shall be saved.” He who has the greater en durance will surely win in the great I race of life. — WHY NOT ORGANIZE OUR MUSIC? j QMAHA is developing a large num ber of fine musicians, both as vocalists and instrumentalists. We be lieve that there is excellent material here not only for a splendid choral society, but also for a first-class symphony orchestra. To develop either will require a vast deal of hard work and diligent and faithful prac : tice; but we believe that it can be done and we would like to see it un dertaken. And let us face certain facts frankly. Not every one of our people, because he or she may have some knowledge of music, is com petent to train a choral society. There are in our midst perhaps some three or four persons, perhaps not this many, whose superior advantages and S training in music make them thor | oughly competent to train and direct j such a choral society. The same is | true with reference to an orchestra. I If such an organization is formed, a competent person should be chosen as ! instructor, and he or she should be diligently and loyally supported. A suggestion of this kind has been made before. Let us get busy and form such an organization. W'hy not get 1 ten or twelve of the best voices from ’ eight or ten of the church choirs and * try them out ? Select the best of 5 these and get busy. This is our sug 5 gestion. What do the musical people think about it ? 8 __ I s YES, THEY ARE QUALIFIED i - ■1 j Y^S, there are at least three young y women, residents of Omaha, whc y have all the requirements as to char I acter, training and ability for teach - ing in our public schools. Two oi 1 these have filed applications with the e Board of Education in the regulai o form. Omaha has 1,500 school teach d ers among whom are representative: p, from practically every group of citi •- zens except our own. Our people pay d taxes on approximately $5,000,00( s worth of real and personal property '( -j \ % 1 y 2: 3 22 2’ 22 Will Consider Sale of Monitor \; Will consider favorable proposal for J J 2 purchase of The Monitor as I am seri- j 22 ously considering retiring from news- 2« 2 2 paper work, important though it is, and 2; 2 2 devoting my time entirely to my pas- 2 2 2 toral and parish work. 2 2 2 2 John Albert Williams ; ;; Box 1204, Omaha, Neb. 2 2 - t, * .. *. :: 2 <» - «> 2 1 > i A PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE FROM RACE 2 2 PREJUDICE 2 By Morney Williams 2 (For the Associated Negro Press) ; OGOD, who hast made man in Thine own likeness and • who dost love all whom Thou hast made, suffer us not, 2 because of difference in race ,color or condition, to ; 2 separate ourselves from others, and thereby from Thee; but • 2 teach as the unity of Thy family and the universality of 2 2 Thy love. As Thy Son, our Savior, was born of an Hebrew ; 1 ’ mother and ministered first to His brethren of the House 2 2 of Israel, but rejoiced in the faith of a Syro-Phoenician wo- < 2 qmmi and of a Roman soldier, and suffered His cross to be 2 carried by a of Africa, teach us, also, while loving and 2 i 2 serving our own, to enter into the communion of the whole . 2 human family; and forbid that, from pride of birth and 2 hardnrns of heart, we should despise any for whom Christ 2 2 died, or in jure an/ in whom He lives. Amen. j ...tf U. S. HAS BI6 TASK ENFORCING FOOD LAWS Greatest Violations Occur in Case of Oil Products; Butter Is Close Second. Washington.—Misbranding, a «1 alter ation and otherwise deceiving the pub lic in the matter of food continues to be one of the problems with wlilob t be United States Department of Agricul- ' ture has to deal. According to the an- ! nual report of the burenu of chemistry, which is charged with the enforcement of the food and drugs act, a total of 1,450 prosecutions and seizures* were made in the fiscal year of 1923. The greatest number of violations o<‘curred in the case of oil products, while but- 1 ter was a close second. For several years attention has been given to interstate traffic in butter, and action has been taken against many shipments which were high in mois ture. low In butterfat, or short of the declared weight. The difficulty of en forcing the law as applied to butter, however, has been greatly lightened by the passage at the last session of oon gress of an act establishing a standard for butter, which fixes 80 per cent as i the minimum butterfat content. Dur- t lng the year 64 seizures against adul terated and misbranded butter and 117 criminal prosecutions were insti | tuted. An interesting and unusual feature . of the work In enforcing the art was the discovery that a concern in .Tersey City, N. J„ was adulterating butter with coconut oil or other foreign fat and shipping it to Philadelphia. Seiz ures were promptly made, as a result of which the offending firm dlseon tinued operations. _ NEW HEADWA1TER AT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Simon Harrold has accepted the j position of headwaiter at the Omaha. Chamber of Commerce, with I.ouis j r’rather as his assistant. The corpse I of waiters has been increased to | twenty-four. Mr. Harrold is one of i the oldest employees of the club, pop- i ular with the members and is well qualified for the position. His promo tion is well-deserved and is in line with the new Commissioner, Clarlte G. Powell's policy to promote men on | the job rather than to import them | from the outside. This is a wise policy as it encourages employees to | do their best. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. I III It) II 25th and R St., Phone Market 3475 O. J.
