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. Our advertising col
umns are open to all.

( 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. Exceedingly eloquent in its
presentation of socialistic imputation^

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?
