RAILWAYS AND HOTELS
(By J. William Shields)
Perry Nichols, of Spokane, paid
Omaha a short visit last week. He
was en route home from the east.
Fred Collins, of Cheyenne, well
known ex-prizefighter, spent Thanks
giving in Omaha and renewed many
of his old acquaintances.
Your sweetheart, wife or sister,
wants a box of O'Brien’s Candy. Ask
her and see.
Sandy Bryant has been employed
as door man at the Blackstone.
Gene Thomas was seriously hurt in
an auto accident last week. Several
ribs were broken and his head lacer
ated. Latest reports are favorable as
to his present condition.
John Ruskin Cigar, 5 cents. Biggest
and Best.
Harris Boswell, of Kansas City,
spent Thanksgiving with Omaha
friends.
The boys on the rails say that busi
ness is so dead that there is nothing
to do but call the undertaker.
All the U. P. headquarter men are in
town preparing to take life easy dur
ing the holidays.
Remember Freling and Stenle.
Tney carry the finest line of trunks,
bags and suit cases in Omaha.
The ruling that saloons are not
obliged to pay $1,000 for license from
now to May 1, will keep most of the
bars open.
The Monitor has the ads of Omaha’s
premier haberdashers. Give them a
Xmas call and mention us.
Atkisson, the home of the famous
Nettleton Shoe, has favored us with a
fine ad. Look it up, boys, and give
him a play.
The Willow Springs Distillery will
manufacturer" denatured alcohol and
near beer.
There is talk among the hotel men
of organizing and lookiig forward to
their own welfare as well as the wel
fare of their employers. The idea is
a laudable one and it is to be hoped
that a real effort will be made to
ward the realization of the project.
The California rush is on and the
Santa Fe is kept busy trying to find
waiters for its specials.
Charlie Windom, of Chicago, was
in the city last week.
John Ruskin Cigar, 5 cents. Biggest
and Best.
Roscoe Miller is back at the Omaha
Club. Roscoe claims he caught a case
of rheumatism, but the little bird
says that Roscoe just naturally had to
beat it back to the bright lights and
local speedways.
It would be a most excellent idea
for our waiters to choose some one
head waiter of the city hotels and
contribute to him small amounts to
the end of helping some poor Colored
children to a happy Christmas. While
the charitable institutions of Omaha
are most liberal to all classes, many
of our own men should club among
themselves or donate to the Goodfel
lows fund with a special request that
some Colored children be looked after.
CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY
Rev. George F. Bragg Preaches 25th
Anniversary Sermon.
On Sunday morning, November 26,
the congregation of St. James Pro
testant Episcopal Church celebrated
the twenty-fifth anniversary of its
pastor, Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg.
Coming to the church, a young man,
Dr. Bragg has been a force not only
in his church, but the community at
large.
During the course of his sermon,
Dr. Bragg spoke of several members
jf the church who, with him, were also
elebrating twenty-five years of serv
ce. In bringing his text, “Without
vision, the people perish,” he spoke of
the abundant vision and faith that had
;ept the Negro race since its emanci
pation from slavery. While praising
hose who had helped the church dur
ng its struggles, he also took occa
sion to score those who had been con
ent to sit by and do nothing, saying
-hey were spiritually dead. “Some
people do not like this kind of preach
ng,” he said, “but during my twenty
'ive years of service at St. James
Church, I have never hesitated to
preach against sin in any of its forms,
nd there are no considerations that
\n make me swerve from the course
hat is laid out for me as minister of
the gospel of Jesus Christ.”—The Bal
more Afro-American.
MUST RECOGNIZE BLACKS
Boston, Mass., Dec. 8.—That the
present European war is the result
)f the selfish desire of the fighting
nations to gobble up the whole of
Africa was asserted by W. E. Burgh
hardt DuBois, in an address on “The
vVorld Problem of the Color Line” at
the Newton South Forum Sunday,
November 26.
“The rights of the blacks through
out the world must be recogiized,"
he declared, “and if they are not,
such conflicts will go on because of
the arrogance and selfishness of the
vorld powers in their desires to gain
the laid of the black man’s home in
Africa.”
The present war, the speaker said,
vas the result of a desire to control
the African veldt, a desire to exploit
the African race, and but for the eag
erness of European rulers to secure
control of the land in the Dark Con
tinent, there would have been no war.

I
No superior and few equals.
My success as a barber is not
due to knocking my fellow work
men or any other knight of the
chair. The public reserves the
right to differenciate between real
barber work and a game of talk.
My work stands alone on its mer
