OBVIOUS OBSERVATIONS
Have you visited the new First Na
tional Bank? Say, maybe those pal
aces of the Arabian Nights were some
pumpkins, but they didn’t have any
thing on Omaha.
The poor little dove of peace ven
tured into the open the other day and
stayed just long enough to get bat
tered up. It is now in the hospital
for repairs.
It is funny how every new ministry
of Europe promises so many brilliant
achievements that never happen.
The Monitor plan of helping our
southern brothers is growing beyond
our expectations, but we are on the
job. There will be many a new Col
ored face north of the M.-I). line next
spring in spite of the lily livered race
leaders of the south who are afraid
t.> help their people to new oppor
tunities.
Mayor Mitchell gave the nation a
jolt by appointing a Colored man on
the Board of Education of New York.
Thanks, Mayor. We hope a few more
others of your calibre will jolt things
up a little.
Uncle Sam has bought the Danish
West Indies and a whole lot of Col
ored folks with it. Maybe after while
there will be enough dusky citizens to
make a noise like being important.
Thanking you for your kind atten
tion, we will now proceed to tamper
with the carburetor.
