Kellom and Howard Kennedy School* for Negroes—No Need for Such Special Provisions—All Races Have Attended Public Schools Without Friction—Omaha Ha* Had Successful Colored Teachers and Should Have Them Now ‘ to Teach All Pupils rf"tHERK seems to be a clever, well* " conceived plot to introduce into Omaha separate schools for the chil dren of our race. It Is of a piece with the subtle policy that certain organizations and Individuals have been moving heaven and earth, figur atively speaking, to put into effeet here for the last few years to force upon us segregation or colonization. The Monitor has fought this movement and Intends to fight it, liecause It is uncon stitutional. unArneriean and makes for racial strife and discord, rather than for racial amity and concord. The col onization plan i this: To compel or induce. If you please, all colored peo pie to live north of fuming street and west of Twenty-fourth street, the northe-n boundary being Binnev stre«t >n<i the western. Thirtieth street. Broadly speaking, tills was to be the territory in which we were to have sovereign sway and masterdom. The adjacent territory bounded by fuming on the south. Twentieth on the east and flark on the north was also to he conceded to our group. Within this •• rea we must be contented to abide Public playgrounds would be provided for colored children, with eolored dl rector* and employees in charge. Of! comse. there was no intention whatso- j ever to make these “eolored play ground*" or “exclusively for colored children." but Inasmuch as the segre gation program being carried out, this territory was to be populated exclu-| sively by colored folk what else lr» I the name of high heaven would such playground* be’ Nov for the s-'hool policy, which , would follow naturally at the day. Need The Monitor point It out? It I* so plain that a wayfaring man though a fool mar not err there in I sing school at Twenty sixth and Franklin would lit* first set apart for! eolored children: then Kellom on I Twenty second and Paul and final!'-1 Howard Kennedy on Thirtieth and Maple Eventually colored teacher* ] would lie given employment In these schools. Pupils of our race whOHe parents reside outside of tills terri torv might then be compelled by a system of transfers, now pending be | fore the board of education, to attend these schools and the “separate school system for Negroes" contrary to the practice and traditions of Nebraska would become a thing aeeompllshod for this Nebraska metropolis. The segregationists have fixed upon the Ig)ng school for a "vocational school," Inasmuch as It has a large enrollment of colored pupils, and in this school, it Is proposed that a few colored teachers be employed A mean-, ure is now pending by which pupils: may transfer from one school district to another, not an unwise provision if honestly and fairly carried out with strict and equal applicability to all pupils; but a very unsatisfactory pro vision if unfairly and arbitrarily en forced. The plan is to make Ixtng the first of Ornaha’s separate schools. Some short sighted members of our: race are favoring this policy which is radically wrong If they want sepa rate schools then they ought to have remained where thev were in * or return thither. For years the children of all races In Nebraska have attended the same schools and have learned to know honor and respect one another. If the Americanization program of which we hear so much these day* is to he ef fectively carrier) out. this is as It should he. American children can not tie separated into antagonistic groups for their education and by that sepa ration taught clan* distinctions and racial inferiority and then in later years he welded into a homogeneous nation with a national consciousness 1 There is no more need for separate schools for otir children in Omaha than there is for Jews nr Swedes or Irish or Itanes. As 100 per cent Americans we simply ask to b" treat ed as American citizens, without any i special distinction or favors. As for teachers in the public schools of Omaha, wc ought to have them We have had them, two jf them, who gave splendid satisfaction for years until they married. One of them was Miss l.ucindn W. (Jumble, now Mrs. John Albeit Williams; and the other wa ' M'ss Knlalia Overall, now the wife of Or. Leonard K. Britt. Pupils of these two teachers are prominent in Omaha' affairs toda> and speak with pride of their teachers These voting women taught in our schools without Motion, Thev met the required qualifications and made good. Their pupils were not , limited to anv race or class. The Monitor wants fo see our young women meet all the requirements demanded as teachers In the public schools of Omaha and then he appointed on their merit* to teach not only colored pupil* lull all pupils who belong to their grade in the si hool* to which thev may he assigned. Omaha must take no backward step in dealing with all classes of her cltl zerts, She want* no separate *rhool* We do want well-qualified women of our race to lie appointed as teacher* in our public schools. Other eities have them and so should Omaha. LINCOLN, NEB. Mr. W. P. Walker returned to h* home in Overton, Neb., Monday after visltinp his sick daughter, Mrs. M.

FLORIDA CITIZENS PROTEST AGAINST K I KM X KL \N JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 17— Protesting again**, lawlessness in Jacksonville and the tarring and feathering of F. P Sullivan (white) as “outrages peipetrated on its citi zens,” Acting Mayor Frank Howen is suer! a call at noor Wednesday for a mass meeting. The meeting was held for the pur pose of devising wa> s and means by which the recent outrages, which have become more and more frequent of late, could be checked. The maltreatment of Sullivan brought the tense J^uation to a cli max. Sullivan, who is a chicken farm operator, attended a colored wedding and had been asked to be godfather at a ch listening. According to Sullivan's statement, he and his wife were at their home about 8 o’clock Tuesday evening when two men came to Ids door and asked him to accompany- (hem. A short time later the three were met by three others, with white masks over their heads. He. was p.'s*..in*) an automo bile, under threat, taken to a lonely spot and tarred and feathered.

Resolutions wrre adopted calling upon all citizens to co-operate with the forees of law and order in bring ing to justice perpetrators of crimes committed through a spirit of per sonal punishment or vengeance.

McCray on the extradition of Marie Giddens, charged with murder ing a deputy sheriff at Sylvester, Ga., and recently arrested in East Chicago, Ind., the governor announced that he would hold Giddens until the state of Indiana had sent a committee of three persons, two white and one of our rare, to Sylvester, Worth county, in order to determine whether the pris oner rould secure a fair and impartial trial. Show Lynching Pictures Governor McCray stated that hr did not rare to place himself in the atti tude of shielding crime, but neither would he turn a man over to the au thorities to be lynched after he reached the state of Georgia. Attor ney Lewis E. Johnson, Chicago, repre sented Giddens, and was called in the case by the Chicago Defender, after relatives of the prisoner had appealed to that newspaper for help and advice. Attorney Johnson, armed with pic tures of lynchings in Georgia and southern newspapers with glaring headlines advertising the overthrow of law and order, all collected by the Chi cago Defender, made an eloquent plea in defense of the prisoner. Regarded as Precedent This action of the governor is re garded as a precedent in matters of this kind and it is thought will go far toward showing the southland that their method of administering justice is being closely watched by states north of the Mason and Dixon line. All Named Giddens A witness, also sent by Georgia, to testify, finally admitted on cross-ex amination by Attorney Johnson that he knew nothing at all about the ca«e. A peculiar circumstance was brought out which confused the governor for awhile. It was found that the deputy sheriff who was killed, the witness from Georgia and the prisoner all had the same name, Giddens. Has Worst Record Attorney Johnson made a plea that requisition papers be denied on the ground that Georgia had lynched over 350 men and that Giddens would, be yond a doubt, share the same fate; that Giddens was compelled to fire In self-defense, when a mob surrounded his house and threatened to lynch him; that he fired only after his door had been broken down and the life of him self, wife and his aged mother were at stake. The deputy sheriff died with two revolvers in his hands. St. Philip the Deacon for many years. Father Leete is a man of deep spirit uality ami his meditations and instruc tions are most helpful.

On no lesser foundation can the civilization of today rest. We want no violence. We want no secrecy.
