THE DYER BILL
rpHK New York Age in its issue of
last week puts the duty of concert
ed tctlon in striving to secure passage
of the Dyer Bill so forcibly and plain
ly that we quote it here as our editor
ial advice to our numerous r< aders,
and urge our people to act at once,
t’nlied. concerted a"'on now. 'Ve en
dorse every word of the editorial
which says:
“The time is now at hand to strike
the final blow for an anti-lynching
bill. The House of Representatives
will be in session next week and will
probably remain in session up to the
time of the opening of the session of
Congress in December. Between now
and then every possible ounce of
pressure should be brought to get
this measure through.
The Dyer Bill, the one which has
tbs best chance of being passed, is
still in the hands of the House Com
mittee on the Judiciary. The bill has
received the approval of the Depart
ment of Justice. The Attorney Gen
eral himself has suggested certain j
changes in the phraseology which in j
his opinion might move such objections
as might be brought on the point of
unconstitutionality. The majority of j
the members of the Committee on j
the Judiciary appear inclined to re
port the bill.
The bill must not only be reported
out of committee. It must also be
placed on the calendar so that it will
receive consideration before Congress
adjourns and not die with a lot of
other uoconsidcred legislation. Pres
sure to liaW the bill reported out and
to have it go to vote can be brought
by a single action. Colored people all
over the United States must at once,
bestir themselves anl make Congress
jeel that this is a matter upon whicji
it must act and act at once. This can
be done by every colored man and
woman who takes any thought at all
regarding the race making himself or
aerself a committee of one to see that
members of Congress are flooded
with letters and telegrams demanding
the passage of the bill.
First, let each thoughtful colored
person send a v 'egram. A telegram
will receive a hundied times more
consideration than a letter and it is
worth fifty cents or a dollar of any
Negro’s money to help make this bill
a law.
Second, let each one make it his
business to get as many other people,
white as well as colored, to send
sin iliar messages.
Let the ministers tell the people
that this should be done.
Furthermore, let the ministers,
educators and other leaders make a
list of the names of their Congress
men to whom the people should send
their communications, because there
are many who do not know who their
representatives in Congress are.
The official title of the Dyer Ar.ti
Lynching Bill is H. R. 13, This of
ficial title should be mentioned in the
communication sent.
Act at once. The time is short.
The opportunity is great and we can
ftrasp it if we act together, twelve
million strong.
CONGRATULATION'S, CHARLEY.
pHARLKS E. Black, who is to be
Omaha’s next postmaster, from
the standpoint of civic service is just
ly entitled to the position. The Mon
itor extends him heartiest congratu
lations.

CREPE HANGERS
^Ki: you one? A crepe hanger, of
course? Thought that was the e.x.
elusive nerogative of an undertaker,
did you? It ought to be, but It isn't. A
crepe hanger is one of those "It-can’t
be-(ione.individuals” who tries K djs
Coiu age every laudable undc taVng or
venture that seems to lie a little diffi
cult. One of those beings who says,
“It is a good thing, is badly needed,
and ought to be done, but is is simply
impossible to do it.” Those people whc
pronounce everything a failure even
before :t is .tied. Crepe hanger \rp
you one"’ They are well-meaning, but
timid people who are afraid to make
a venture themselves and would dls.
courage everybody else who has th
coinage to try.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC
The annual election of the Omaha
branch N. A. A. C. P. will be held
November 6.
The great majority of those who
have been members are now delin
quent. To these I wish to appeal with
all of my heart, to pay their annual
membership fee of one dollar. See
the secretary ut 1417 N. 24th St., or
I at the meeting place next Sunday, St.
j Paul Presbyterian church, 26th and
Seward streets, between now and elec
! tion time. And see to it that persons
who have the confidence of the peo
ple, persons who are honest, faithful,
and capable are elected to administer
the affairs of the branch.
The N\ A. A. C. P. is a great organ
ization, designed to be of great bene
fit to all people, and particularly to
I the colored people. Therefore it would
be a sin by omission to neglect so
"■teat nn organization. I should like
very much to see some of our promi
nent white members on the official
staff of the branch.

Street Scene in Patau. Nepal.
• Pr#p»r*d by th* National Oaographlc So
clfty, Washington, V. C.)
Nepal, in which is situated much of
tit. Everest, the world's highest pin
nacle, which Is now being attacked
liy an elaborately equipped British
scientific expedition, is the true “her
mit kingdom" of today. The govern
ment purposely keeps the rouds which
lead from India to Nopal ill bad con
dition. and travelers are admitted to
hut one small valley, and then only
for special reasons upon a difficulty
obtained permit.
This kingdom which holds Itself so
aloof from the world is a narrow strip
of country about 100 miles wide und
500 miles long, extending for nearly
a third of the distance between India
and Tibet along the sky piercing
Himalayas. On the south it Includes
a very narrow strip of plains country,
but predominantly It Is a mountain
ous region. In fact, its possession of
Mt. Everest and some of the other
of the highest mountHitis in the world
give It claim, in one sense at least, to
he the moat niotintainous of countries.
The Nepalese are a lighting people,
have an excellent army and organiza
tion. and are total of show, both In
military display and In their religious
festivals. The latter are very numer
ous, and in fact seem to he intermin
able. The women take a prominent
part In most of them.
Some of the semi-military pageants
■ ml in the massacre of hundreds of
I huffuloes. In one sue! ceremony,
known as the blessing of the colors,
the commander In chief dips his hands
j lii a howl of blood and clasps eucli
banner iri -mm. thus Imprinting ou
i each the mark of bloody bawls. The
scene Is somewhat revolting, hut prob
I ably inis its use in keeping up a mar
I dal spirit in the army.
Voluminous Dresses of Women.
The Nepalese women wear yards
1 up*Hi yards sometimes as many as a
, hundred—of line muslin plaited to
i form a huge fan-shaped hunch in front,
i the buck being quite tight. When a
I lady of rank drives^iu her barouche
! she completely fills the carriage with
■ tier voluminous skirt of brilliant hue.
1 Above the skirt a vivid little tight-fit
ting jacket, usually of velvet, Is worn;
ihe hair Is dressed In a fiecullar knot
in ft'iMit. above the forehead, and fas
tened to one side by au enormous gold
plaque with a jeweled center. A
heavy gold necklace and gold bangles
complete her jewelry. Every Imag
inable shade is used purpley pale
blue, green, carmine, orange, white,
yellow, turquoise, and deep red—and
the effect Is wonderful.
At the time of state ceremonies the
streets are tilled with processions of
elephants in gorgeous trappings,
horses and ponies, brilliant military
uniforms, and th- usual crowd of
good-nat tired, pleasure-loving people,
the whole against the background of
the old temples and natural surround
ings making a wonderful spectacle.
The Journey into Nepal Is not an
easy- one. At first there U a track
through the forest, hut us soon as the
outer hills are reached the road losea
Itself In the bed of a stream, up which
the bearers pick their way with diffi
culty over and among great boulders.
The official road finally goes over the
very rough track across the Chandra
girt pass and down the almost Im
passable road on the other side Into
the Nepal valley. The last portion
of the descent Is down u long stair
case of roughly-placed blocks of stone,
and It Is marvelous how the laden men
and ponies keep their footing on It.
In the Nepal Valley.
From the foot of the pass an excel
lent carriage road into the town of
Khatrnandu runs through the valley
i teeming with people, towns, palaces,
temples, and innumerable shrines.
There ure miles of such good carriage
roads within the valley, mostly con
structed In Jung Bahadur's time, and
carriages and pairs, and occasionally
a four-in-hand are constantly used by
the palace people.
In this valley, where the shrines
alone are said to number more than I
2.700, the buildings present an arnaz

l*nt»n was lie old Newar • uplfal, ;
where Buddldsni was the uceep;ed re
ligion of the country before the In
vasion of the Gurkhas. Although the
largest town in Nepal. It Is a quiet,
sleepy place, much of it failing into
ruins, but still'most picturesque. It
stand* In the center of the lieautlful
valley, against a background of green
moat.tarns and snowy leaks-—a net
work of narrow, twisting little streets
packed full ef shrines, temples and
pagoda-.. many of them deserted and
falling Into ruin*, hut still with ex
quisite tilts of curving and wonderful
doorway* of ail shape* ami sizes and
wonderful designs.
Many of Patau s buildings are dec
orated with sla-et* of embossed copper
gilt, nnd everywhere the shrines are
guarded by pairs of fearsome animals
of enormous size. Curved stone pil
lars are surmounted by animals, birds,
or fi*h modeled in metal; hells of all
size* are every where, and huge lotus
thrones in bronze hold bronze Thun
der-Bolt* or IlorgI*.
The art of the Nepalese, or. properly
speaking, the Nevar*. Is worthy of
*|ie* til consideration, it was the Ne
wur* who brought art to Its highest
state of perfection, and their influence
tins extended through thc-e hills Into
•Sikkim. Bhutan, and Tibet. Indian
Influence ha* penetrated from the
south with the advance of Buddhism
and has spread through the hills, along
the Brahmaputra valley, to Lhasa, the
capital of Tibet, tin the other hand
Chinese Influence is also strong and
there lias lieen Intercourse with that
country for many centuries.
Beautiful Wood Carving.
Nepalese wood carving Is extraordi
narily beautiful and ornate. Kvery
scrap ‘if wissl Is carved in some man
ner; tlie struts upholding the eaves of
shrines represent satyrs and dragons
while windows ami disirs are exam
ples of the most elaborate and minute
workmanship of every conceivable de
sign. The verandas and overhanging
balconies are highly ornamented and
the work on some of tlie pillars 1* very
hold and striking.
In weaving tin- natives are de
ficient, (he only doth made be
ing a course cotton of no artistic value.
The feudal system, which has pre
vailed among these hills for many
years, is In a measure responsible for
much of the artistic work of the na
tives, for It enables a man to put his
whole energy Into Ids work. He has
no care about final or housing; It Is
to his master’s and Ills own advantage
to produce Die most artistic work pos
slide.
Nepal maintains a well drilled and
efficient army of about .'t2.<*Ki inruntry
and 2,.r*00 artillery, with about 100
serviceable nnd ISO unserviceable
guns. The Maharutah is not permit
ted to have any intercourse with Bit
ropenns, and should the British resi
dent or any official have .» -asion to
interview him it Is alway s in the pres
