FROM FAIR NEBRASKA
TO SUNNY TENNESSEE

and honest employments, it is true,
but we ought not have a monopoly of
these—for our boys and girls whom
we are educating and training for tak
ing their places according to their
ability in the diversified occupations
of the country, we must make places
for them.
One Way to Combat Prejudice.
If American prejudice, one of the
most damnable evils in our national
life, bars our youth from honorable
occupations, and it does, it is up to
us to say: “American prejudice be
-. It shall not discourage or mas
ter us. It shall not hold us back. We
have brains, ability, resources. To
the utmost of our powers we will
make places for our own!”
What cannot the combined and
united efforts and resources of more
than Ten Millions of Americans ac
complish ?
Shall Sixty Years Show Like Growth?
As we write there lies before us a
copy of the splendid anniversary num
ber of the World-Herald which was
issued Sunday, May 28th. Our eyes
fall upon the full-page advertisement
of the First National Bank of Omaha,
which appears therein. There is the
picture of the little frame shanty-like
building which was the bank’s first
home, in 1863, at 1206 Famam street.
There are three other pictures—
that of the bank’s second home which
it occupied for twenty-two years, or
from 1866 to 1888, at Thirteenth and
Famam, its present site. This second
building was just about the size of the
building now occupied by the Solvent
Savings Bank of Memphis, Tenn.
There is a picture of the splendid
building which has housed the First
National Bank for twenty-eight years.
And then there is the picture of its
magnificent fourteen-story building
in course of erection at Sixteenth and
Famam.
r rom the frame shanty to
the structural iron and concrete four
teen story sky-scraper marks the
progress of Sixty Years. We do not
know, but we hazard the guess that
when this hank began its life, it had
only two or three employes. Now it
has twenty times that number. Its
working capital which at the begin
ning was less than that of the “Sol
vent” is now $1,500,000.00. What is
there to prevent the Solvent Savings
Bank and Trust Company and like in
stitutions elsewhere doing in the sams
period what the First National Bank
of Omaha has done? Shall sixty
years show like growth? Who can
tell ? If the ratio of the first ten
years continues, it will show it.
Some Interesting Figures.
Figures are seldom interesting, but
here are some interesting figures
which to us are eloquent of promise.
They show the comparative growth of
deposits in the Solvent Savings Bank
during its ten years’ existence:
Dec. 31, 1906, $18,374.71.
Dec. 31, 1907, $43,620.86.
Dec. 31, 1908, $51,158.77.
Dec. 31, 1909, $77,754.42.
Dec. 31, 1910, $93,113.46.
Dec. 30, 1911, $116,144.47.
Dec. 30, 1912, $112,673. 51.
Sept. 12, 1914, *143,051.52.
Nov. 10, 1915, $153,919.69.
April. 15, 1916, $168,519.25.
What do you think of this showing?
Does it not seem to indicate real,
steady and substantial growth?
We had intended to tell you about
the Christmas Savings Department,
hut we find that we have already
overrun our space in writing of other
tilings. We hope we have not over
taxed your patience as well. We can
safely promise, however, that we’ll
get around to the Christmas Savings
Fund before Christmas.
AMONG RAILROAD MEN
(By J. William Shields)
The Canadian Pacific raidroad din
ing ear service has installed Colored
crews, and these men should prove
satisfactory as they stand at the head
of that profession. Work together
and keep your eye on the gun is the
road to success.
William Hobbs, who has been in
charge of a cafe car, O. W. R. R., for
several years with much credit, has
gone to Chicago to accept a like posi
tion. We wish him success.
Calie Reed, one of the most reliable
buffet men of the O. W., is in charge
of a parlor car for the same company
from Portland to Vancouver, B. C.
W. Robertson, late of the S. P., of
Los Angeles is now in the dining car
service of the U. P. from Omaha to
Portland.
oam ijutces, wno nas Deen "every
where twice,” was in Portland last
week from Omaha in the U. P. dining
car service. Sam says the “dry terri
tory” does not affect him in the least.
Scott Hunter says the run from
Omaha to Ogden just suits his hand.
The knocking habit sets a bad pre
cedent. Do the best you can and let
the other fellow do the same. Leave
your little hammer home for your
wife to drive nails *in the back fence
and you try to carry home the bacon.
Charles Corpue is now running for
the N. W. railroad out of Chicago.
Wylie Luke is running for the C. B.
and Q. out of Omaha to Creston, Iowa.
Mr. James A. Clark, who succeeded
Mr. Frank Liverpool as head waiter
at the University club of Omaha, is an
old experienced hotel man of New
York City and an ex-old man in the
dining car service of the Rock Island
and late of the Union Pacific railroad.
Mr. Clark cannot help but be success
ful as he believes “there is no such
word as fail” when trying to do right.
This famous club is the only one of
its kind employing all Colored help.
Our distinguished citizen, Mr. Alphon
so Wilson is chef and steward, which
position he has held for a number of
years with credit and appreciation by
his employees and all with whom he
comes in contract.
The Omaha club is now conducted
by a white head waiter.
