JAY STEVENS | chapters are still to De written. For more than three-quarters ol s century no name has been better known In American shipping than that ol Luckenbach. No name has meant greater progress In the arduous out romantic task ol carrying goods from port to port in this country ana abroad And no name has loomed larger in tying together our Eastern. . Gulf and Pacific coasts via the broad highway of the sea. This was emphasized recently by the appearance of two fast new frelgnt carrying giants, the “Andrea F. Lucken bach” and the “Lewis Luckenbach." ol 14.400 gross tons each, the two largest freighters under the American flag. They have Joined their nineteen fleet comrades In the growing exchange of commodities by way of the Panama Canal between Boston. New York ana Philadelphia and Los Angeles, ban Francisco. Portland and Seattle, witn thh Pacific lines also making port at Mofrtie. New Orleans and Houston. Tex The Luckenbach storv Is an 82-year tale of romance and adventure con ducted by three generations of a smg.e family. It Includes In abundance ever. thing a sea stqry should have—speed records, thrills, vicious storms saving of life and even a winning battle wnn a German submarine And glorious way DacK in ibou newis Luckenoacn bought a tiny tug. the ‘'Bluestone.” for marine trucking work on the Hud son River. Presently he ventured down the Atlantic Coast and devised the Idea of towing several barges behind a singe tug. Insurance companies would have no part in such a radical enter prise. But he got away with It and thus started a practice which has since saved millions of dollars in towing operations. All of the 21 big ships of this fleet, the largest privately owned steamship line In America, are named for mem bers of the family. One of them was the first commercial vessel through the Panama Canal In 1914. More than I 123.000 gross tons of them engaged In ! the armed service of the Government ! during the war. four were sunk oj i enemy gunfire and torpedoes, one suc cessfully fought a submarine for four hours and then they all brought thou sands of soldiers home. Last month, for the first time in their long history, all the Luckenbach ships were thrown open to from two to ten passseneers each, and have been filled to capacity ever since with peo ple seeking health and rested nerves by long inexpensive trips “by freight" without the jazz and excitement so hard to escape ashore. m.

City) , * * * Hariet Tubman was born a slave in Maryland about 1821 and died in Au burn, New York, March 10th, 1913. Even as a girl on the southern plan, tation she was different from the : others. Life to her was a serious af fair and she couldn’t accept the fate of being a slave without making at tempts to free herself. * * * “The Railroad to Freedom” is a most interesting, intensely starring novel built around the life of Harriet Tubman, or “Moses” as she became known. She escapes from a cruel master, making her way north where she attracts the interest and atten?| tion of the great abolition leaders and | she devotes herself to the cause of! freeing other slaves by way of the underground railroad, or the railroad to freedom. * * * Time after time she enters the ' southland, each time returning with slave refugees whom she successfully pilots to northern points and freedom. Eventually she steals heT own father and mother from the throes of the slave-master and they settle in a little home on the outskirts of Au burn, New York. * * * Later, during the civil war, Hariet plays an important role for the Union forces, and these activities, like all the others, are so written as to cause “The Railroad to Freedom” to hold MANUSCRIPTS Typewriting, Criticism, Correction, Revision.

First, accidental death benefit; second, benefit for accident dis ability; third, benefits for tem porary sickness, and fourth, a lange benefit in case of death from sickness. Every accident and every sickness except ven ereal is covered. The policy pays disability of one day or more. In case of hospital con_ finement, additional benefits are payable. Most acidents and health pol icies pay benefits for only a short period in case a person dies after a short sickness. The World, under its Silver Anni versary monthly or weekly pay ment policies, pays a definite large benefit no matter how soon death follows the beginn ing of sickness. It recently augmented its Agency Force by several men, including William Davis, resid ing at 2514 Corby Street, who together with his wife has rec_ ently moved to Omaha from Washington, D. C. Mr. Davis is representing the Company in the capacity of a Special Agent and he will be in a posi tion to render special service along the insurance protection line. Guides Platform Local Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man must prevail. These are the only principles which will stand the acid test of good citizenship in time of peace, war and death. (1) We must have our pro-rata of employment in businesses to which we give our patronage, such as groc j cry stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores and coal companies, in fact- every concern which we sup port. We must give our citizens the chance to live res pectably. We are tired of educating our children and permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter in to lives of shame. (2) Our pro-rata of employment for the patronage to our public corporations such as railroad companies, the street car company, the Nebraska Power Company, the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and other establishments which we are forced to support hy right of franchise. Also our pro-rata of employment in re turn for the taxes we pay in our city, county state and federal government. (3) To encourage the establishment of a first class hospital that we may get the best that there is in medical science from our doctors whom we know' to be nearest us, also to encourage a high respect of them and encourage more of our girls to take nurse training. (4) A one hundred per cent deportment of our cit izens in our public or private places of business, especial ly on street cars. If we are to be respected we must act respectably, especially in public places w here we are con stantly before the public’s eye. ’ (5) A one hundred per cent membership in the Om aha branch of the NAACP. should be had to encourage the efforts put forth by the founders of the organization and to assist the general office to establish a five million dollar endowment fund to maintain operating expenses and to further the principles of the NAACP. All peo ple of all races must be educated up to a higher principle and a more thorough understanding of interracial rela tionship that our country may in reality be a government of the people, for the people and by the people in whole and not in part. (6) Ihe re-establishment of the Christian Religion as Christ taught it, for the uplifting of mankind, elimin ating financial and personal gain. A practical Christian Religion, week day as well as Sunday. An attitude to ward our fellowman as a brother in order to establish a principle which will guide the destiny of each other’s children; our neighbor’s children today are our children tomorrow. (7) Courteous treatment in all places of business and the enforcement of the State Civil Right Law. (8) To encourage and assist in the establishment of the following financial institutions near 24th and Lake Streets: A building and loan association, a state bank, administering aid and assistance to our widows and children. (9) To encourage the erection of a one hundred thousand dollar Young Men’s Christian Association Building near 24th and Lake Streets. (10) To enlarge the Young Women’s Christian As sociation that it may supply sufficient dormitory accom modations. (11) To teach our citizens to live economically with in their earning capacity by printing in each issue a bud get system for various salaries. (12) To make Omaha a better city in which to live by inaugurating a more cosmopolitan spirit among our American citizens. (13 To put a stop to the Divorce Evil by passing a State law making the mistreatment of a wife or a hus band by either of them, a criminal offense to be decided by a jury, first offense, jail sentence of a short duration; from one to five years in the penitentiary. This, we be lieve will make men and women think before marrying, second offense, one of longer duration; third offense, (14) We must become owners of the city govern ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom we employ to administer its affairs, a salary that will at and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of i tract men of high calibre. National (1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill and thus stop the shamful lynching of American citizens. (2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet. (3) Federal control of the educational system that every child must have a high school education. (4) Assist in the furtherance of research by our scientists and historians to prove that civilization was first founded in Africa. (5) Establish a political influence which will bring about our pfo-rata of higher appointments made by our chief executives. (6) Stop graft in politics by passing a Federal La.w making election day a legal holiday and compelling every American citizen of voting age to vote. (7) Prevent further wars by teaching the so-called white race that it is high time for them to quit fooling themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths of the world’s population. They must be taught that color is due to climatic conditions. They must be taught that seven-tenths of the world’s population is made up of darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race; and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad few. If the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this world’s family now, by teaching the principles laid dowTi by our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our children some day soon, on the bloodiest battlefields this world has ever known. (8) Cut down congressional representation from the Southern States in proportion to the number of votes cast. The OMAHA GUIDE will put forth its best efforts to bring about the above 22 points with the assistance of those who believe it is for the best interest of good Amer ican citizenship.
