X TEACHING SAVING 1”HK Omaha public schools have done an admirable thing in in ducing the school children to start savings accounts to which they make deposits weekly. Scores of children with their parents’ consent have i opened these accounts. Each week on ] a stated day the child takes his few j pennies or dimes or whatever the' amount may be to school and thej amount is duly entered in his or hei' passbook. This is teaching thrift., Habits formed in early childhood per sist. The children who are taught to save regularly now will know the value of a bank account when they get older. The fault with us, as a people, is that we have never learned to save. We are great spenders. This is an Amer ican trait, not necessarily a racial trait. We have not been taught to j save as children and when we reached adult years it has been exceedingly difficult to acquire the saving habit. If your child has not opened a school savings account have him do so at once. School rivalry' stimulates the saving habit. And while your child is saving, get into the habit of saving a little regularly weekly yourself. KEEPING YOUR HEAD rpHESE are times when we all need A to keep our heads and tempers. History teaches that the aftermath of all great wars is unrest, disquietude, distrust, hysteria, if you please. The world is hysterical and our country is suffering from the same affliction. Nerves are on tension. We all need to keep cool, to devote some time to thought and meditation, to spend more time upon our knees. Despite the un ruly wills and affections of sinful men, this is still God’s world. Be lieve this. Trust Him. Serve Him. Keep your head. Do your part to help Him save the world. This may be old fashioned doctrine, but it is true, nevertheless. Truth is old-fashioned. AMBIGUITY A WOMAN was brought before Judge Dunn this week for vio lating the parking ordinance. Her auto was parked for two hours in front of the Eontenelle hotel. The woman gave as her defense that she was in a beauty parlor being beautified, where upon Judge Dunn gallantly and promptly said, "That’s a perfectly legitimate excuse; you’re discharged.” We wonder if Judge Dunn delicately implied that the lady needed beauti fying. The judge's words are consid ered by some as a little ambiguous. CONCERNING POLITICS ENTRIES are being made for the spring campaign. The primaries are to be held early in April. Indi cations are that “There’ll be a hot. time in the old town,' etc. The Moni - j tor would respectfully remind aspir- 1 ants for political honors and responsi- j bilities that this great weekly is a good medium in which to advertise their candidacy.

( WHAT THE EDITORS SAY | MORALITY OF ACTORS Well, it is not generally supposed that actors and stage stars are in practice more moral than preacheis and Y. W. C. A. workers—but let us see the facts. Charles Gilpin, a Negro, is consid ered at least third or fourth among the “ten most distinguished contrib utors to dramatic art” last year. The New York “Drama League” gives an honorary dinner to “the ten best” each year. This dinner is to be given at the Hotel McAlpin on March 6th. Well, as often happens, the “directors” of the League decided not to invite the Negro, although he was not merely one of the "ten best” but one of the three or four best, and in many minds the best. The directors announced boldly that they would send Gilpin a “nice letter," telling him how muck everybody liked him and appreciated his success, etc., but that he could not eat dinner with them as one oi the honored ten. And the directors, no doubt, thought they would be sup ported in this immoral act by the other nine and the 150 or so actors who were to be invited to the dinner. But bless you! seven of the others to be honored and scores of those wh > are to do the honoring have bravelv announced in the press that they will not go to this dinner if Gilpin is not invited. in the name of Christ, let the Y. W. C. A. sisters take notice and be ashamed. The Y. VV. folk may talk morals, but the stage stars beat them doing it. When Mrs. Talbert, the most prominent colored woman in the United States, stood outside the Amer ican Y. W. C. A. door in Paris, tired and weeping because they would not let her in with her white fellow delegates to get a drink of coffee, not one of those sisters in Christ stayed out or offered to stay out. They wen: in and enjoyed their own coffee, and some even boasted of the insult and slight of the colored women. In sober earnestness we ask, how many white preachers will stay away when a similar insult is offered to ; colored preacher? An example in Christianity has been set for there preachers by Mary Garden, Gild? Varesi, Dudley, Digges, Jacob Ben Ami, and a host of other stage people! By the way, Ben-Ami is featuring “Samson and Delilah.” I have heard preachers preach on that subject, but 1 weuld certainly be more impresse by an actor who “acts” as Ben-Ain has acted in this case. That slimy thing called color preju dice and race hatred, may infect tht Y. W. C. A but it seems that it wil not be tolerated by 00 per e?nt of th« actors and theater people.—By Wil liam Pickens. CURRENT AND OTHERWISE By W. H. A. Moore (By The Associated Negro Press) Any effort which attempts to fn Woodrow Wilson’s place in America! Jiistory, at this time, will fail. Tht | place that many of us have in mint i for him may be too low or it may b< too high. The forces that put hirr | into the foreground of one of the cru cial periods in the life of the republic have lost something of their intensity in spirit and we are now being urger to Situations of normalcy that will re shape our viewpoints and soften our judgments. And yet it would be ar extremely difficult matter to trace to his administration the origin of any constructive, practical bit of state craft.

Vi) I Beautiful Assortment of Attractive B NEW EASTER HATS—No Two Alike Get YOURS Quick THE LEADER CLOTHING FOR MEN AND WOMEN 4727*29 South 24th St., South Side—Opposite Post Office the administration of the twenty ! eighth president has been woefully i hesitating and weak in its application of principles to the inexorabh exi gencies of the flux and flood of present-day social inclination. A di.s tincf temper of internationalism—the internationalism which brings wider acquaintance with the customs, qual ities of character and social stamina of the scattered varieties of social or ganizations throughout the world— has come within the range of our life experience and we are fluttering and fuming in a frantic search for solu tions. Mr. Wilson has not illumined our pathway. I dare not question his ability to do so but, certainly, I have an unquestioned right to point to his failure in this connection. Failure, however, is not always an unfailing sign of non-achievement. Perchance the times were not as ripe for action as they were for preachment. If so, Mr. Wilson was fully' justified in leav ing the nation’s “race problem” pre cisely where he found it—unsolved, tantalizing and strife-provoking, it is a real pity that we can not disso ciate the “race problem” from the na tional problem. For, as stressingly impressive as the world’s social prob lems stand in our presence, we can not escape the equally impressive fact that we must be nationally sound and com pact before we can safely take on tl „ I responsibilities of binding -intema j tional relationships. An intelligent, progressive Negro citizenry in tie t. te of Georgia is more clearly re I luted to the healthy development of 1 American ideals than improbable re lief lor Christian Armenia from the i unprintable barbarities of Moham : med?n Turkey. Mr. Wilson was ad | mittedly incapable of lifting himseli out of the narrower restrictions of the American social interpretation of the organic impulses of the purposes of democracy'. Hence, as a statesman, ! he was a failure. This estimate can not he accepted, justly, as final. Yet the temptation is very strong to re j member that the largest figure in the history of the republic—Lincoln— holds firmly to his high place because his fame rests on the bedrock of social j emancipation—the very soul of the f truest being of democracy. However, may I not add my extreme desire thal Woodrow Wilson’s last days may be his best and his longest? LINCOLN, NEB. By W. W.
