CHANGE IN MONITOR
ADVERTISING RATES
Because of our keen appreciation of
all our Monitor patrons, we have been
loath to increase our prices until
forced to do so.
The increased cost of everything
that enters into the making of a news
paper necessitates an increase in our
advertising rates.
Beginning with the first issue in
February advertising rates will be as
follows:
Display advertising—75 cents per
column inch for single insertions.
Classified advertising—4 cents u
word, or 20 centB per agate line.
Time or space discounts furnished
on request Contracts can be made
at the office, 304 Crounse block, or
call Douglas 3224 and our represent
ative will call on you.
The Monitor is prepared to give its
clientele in 1920 a larger circulation
and better service than in 1919.
Growing, thank you.

WHAT THE MONITOR
THINKS AHOOT IT
(Continued From Page One.)
Gordon. Suffering as we do. as a
race, at the hands of mobs we cannot
afford, however extreme the provoca
tion, to become mohbists ourselves.
We must stand ready, like all good
citizens, to give testimony against any
law-breaker, black or white, that he
may be lawfully punished. We should
all he vitally concerned in seeing that
offenders of our race, because of our
vicarious suffering, are brought to
justice; but we must insist upon law
ful procedure. We must stand un
compromisingly for law and order.
We cannot protest against mob vio
lence and he guilty of it ourselves.
The action of the Sheridan roobo
crats who flogged Gordon is Inde
fensible and most regrettable. If offi
cers of the N. A. A. C. P. took part
in it. they should he. and doubtless
will be removed from office, as they
have violated the very fundamental
principles for which the association
stands and that is the suppression of
mob violence and the impartial en
forcement of law. Herein the safety
of the rights of all citizens lie and
upon this impregnable rock the per
petuity of the republic and civiliza
tion rests.
Whatever any other group of our
American citizens may feel justified
in doing colored Americans must al
ways be found, as we have frequently
said before, on the side of law and
order, no matter how great the provo
cation or how strong the temptation
may be, to do otherwise.
