DISTINGUISHED OUT-OF-TOWN
VISITORS AT THE MONITOR
OFFICE THIS WEEK
Fred I). McCracken
Fred I). McCracken, field agent of
the home registration bureau of U.
S. department of labor, under direct
supervision of Dr. George E. Haynes,
dropped into Omaha and inci
dentally The Monitor office. When
asked why he came here, he said, came
in search of a situation—racial, of
course—and find you have none.
The conditions here, except your
housing, are all that could be expect
ed. You have a strike here in which
your people are playing only a small
part. Many changes in the history
of the communities, states and coun
tries have been wrought over night,
such happened when over 2,000,000
souls rose up as by one impulse down
in old Dixieland and decided to move
to the north side of the Mason and
Dixon line. In the congested indus
trial districts of the north and east
that migration has developed a prob
lem, the housing condition being one.
It is a well known fact that the con
tented workman must live in a com
fortable home to properly rear his
family, the immediate environments
must be pleasant and uplifting. Sev
enty-five per cent of the evils our
people are heir to can be traced to
the unsanitary illy situated homes.
Mr. Haynes has done wonderful work
and is still doing much to alleviate
these conditions in many of the large
congested industrial centers. The
northwest must be congratulated for
.the manner in,which the old resident^
have met and accepted into their com
munities, church, fraternity, social
circle, thereby adjusting at the outset
a condition that has proven profitable
to both.”
Mr. McCracken spent several days
in Omaha investigating everything in
the province of his work, and making
The Monitor office his headquarters.
He left Sunday for Chicago, Cleveland
and other points east.
Judge It. D. Evans
The Monitor office was treated to
a pleasant surprise by a visitor whom
we immediately recognized as a son
of the sunny southland by the leis
urely manner in which he strode into
our office, and when he spoke in his
simple southern manner in answer to
our most pleasant “good morning,"
it was the usual laconic, “howdy.”
We recognized our old friend Judge
R. D. Evans of Waco, Tex., who in
traveling west on business dropped
off in Omaha to visit us and get fur
ther acquainted. As he leisurely took
his seat and patiently awaited the
putting away of business he hummed
a bar from that once popular song,
“Get Ain’t It Great to Meet a Friend
From Your Old Home Town,” and the
echo in my soul said, “It sho’ is.”
The judge, a graduate of Howard
university of law class of 1012, is
a prominent figure in his home state,
being the attorney for the K. of P.
and Courts of Calanthia. He enjoys a
lucrative practice in McClellahan coun
ty, which has a population of 32,000
of his race.
The folks down there say that the
judge is a most persuasive man, that
is they have said so since the trial
of young Editor Smith some two years
ago, who unfortunately transgressed
the law as well as the dignity of the
“white folks” in the vicinity when he
to their distaste too graphically de
scribed the burning of one of his race.
The judge who defended Smith in a
most eloquent but simple plea on the
basis of truth changed the sentiment
and the cry from the howl of the mob,
“Convict him or we will lynch him,”
to arw“Oh, well, give him a chance.”
Those who keep up with the press
dispatches will remember that in last
February he again took up the cudgles
in behalf of his people by succeeding
in injoining that most unfair and
dominant political machine, “the white
man’s or democratic party,” and after
a short yet sensational legal battle
was rewarded by Judge Clark and
endowed with a decision making the
injunction permanent and today foi
the first time in twenty years the
men and women of our race enjoy the
right of the ballot in the state of
Texas.
It was a real pleasure to us to in
troduce him to all of our leading busi
ness and professional men and he
leaves us with pleasant memories oi
this great growing city of Omaha.
He iH a Monitor enthusiast anil says
the food for the mind distributed in
the form of constructive editorials
is always eagerly awaited for by the
hungry intelligent of the southland.
Prominent Press Correspondent Visits
