INGRATITUDE T^HE senate’s action in rejecting the nomination of Henry Lincoln Johnson for register of deeds of the District of Columbia will meet with the united disapproval of almost the entire colored American population. It is a sad disappointment to all who| supported the Republican party. It is: all the more so because thus far, the national administration has done prac tically nothing in the way of showing even their appreciation for the races support and loyalty. The only excuse given was that of “Senatorial Courtesy” invoked on the strength of Tom Watson of Georgia who says Johnson is personally objec-, tionable to him. This merely serves to intensify our disappointment be cause we know Tom Watson is a Georgia Cracker whose nature it is to oppose any appointment of any col ored person to anything except the cotton fields of his state. This fur nished us with no surprise. We are surprised, however, that a republican senate knowing the disposition of Tom Watson, would yield its republican prerogatives on the mere objection 01 j a democrat. Johnson did all in his power which considered to place these senators and their party in power,: while Watson did all in his power to defeat them and keep them out. Now this fellow who is naturally a republi can’s bitterest ene.ny can dictate the appointment of the party’s most ard ent supporter. Its a case of ingrati tude that will most certainly react in a telling manner in 1922. ’ SETTING PACE JjWERY once in a while we are snr-1 prised to note instances in which absolute fairness and justice are met ed out to our peonle where we would e rpect just the contrary. It proven that there are plenty of good white men in the south if they would only have the courage to assert their auth ority to do so. Some time ago we noted a case where North Carolina’s govern or, in order to protect a colored pris oner, from a threatening- mob bent up on hmching him, ordered the .-tate militia to shoot and shoot straight, if the mob persisted in carrying out their intentions. They obeyed, with the re sult that some were killed and wound ed. Governor Morrow of Kentucky, another southerner, did the same thing with about the same results. The former governor of Georgia made himself conspicuous by uncovering peonage and other injustices to our people in that state. Mayor Key of Atlanta vetoed a measure which had for its purpose “Jim Crow” churches. Sometime ago the K. K. K.'s attempt ed to hold a public meeting in Ken tucky, but was refused permission b the mayor so they went over into Ohio, where they were allowed to as semble. Recently a South Carolina judge, instructed the jury (white) to bring in a favorable verdict for a col 01 ed woman whose, husband was lynched by a mob in the town of Lau rens in that state. The verdict car ried with it $2000 damages. This is indeed encouraging. Looks like the south is setting the pace. BOY SCOUTS, TROOP 23 Troop 23, Boy Scouts carried away the District Honors,—a beautiful ban ner, at the district meeting of Ward 2, at the North Presbyterian Church, 24th & Wirt Sts., Monday evening. The contest included a formal as sembly by the senior patrol leader, and a Formal Flag ceremony; a pledge to the flag, that included, to receive and to return the colors, a model troop business meeting and an O’Grady Drill. The model troop business meet ing was judged by general efficiency and results accomplished for time used and appearance. The program was closed by group singing and the secret oath. This is proof of the ear nestness with which the scouts and their leaders have worked during the last year. All are proud and happy. These banners are given in each district to the troop winning highest honors, to be kept until the next dis trict rally. Mr. J. H. Beveridge, Superintendent of the Public Schools of Omaha, ac companied by Mr. Ray Kingsley, Secy, of the Rotary Club visited the troop recently and delivered appreciative ad dresses. Both gentlemen were great ly impressed by the results ob tainec by this troop and predicted it woulc soon be one of the strongest in Oma ha. _ LETTER OF APPRECIATION Omaha, Neb., Dec. 5.

Williams of the St. John A. M. E., Rev. Conwell of the M. E., Rev. S. M. Graves of the C. M. E. were all present with their flocks. Council Bluffs was represent ed by sisters C. H. Madden, Madison and Watkins. The Rev. Mr. Graves of the C. M. E. brought the message which set our hearts on fire to the ex tent that we all became demonstra i tive, at the close of his remarks. Rev. W. C. Williams, full of religious en thusiasm, was called upon to give in vitation for joiners. Here Rev. Wil liams became eloquent and fervent m spirit and for ten minutes he poured his soul to God and the people. We felt again moved in the spirit. This was indeed a great day, for which we are giving God all the glory. I felt like saying with old brother Jacob, “Surely this is none other but the j house of God, and this is the gate of I heaven.” I feel myself happy and 1 blessed of God to have this brotherly 1 fellowship with my brother ministers, I Allen Chapel Stewardess were out in full dress and greeted with love the large number that came from the oth er churches. There w'ere gathered around the sacramental table one hun drerd souls representing the differemt denominations which made my heart rejoice to see people have religion enough to eat together at the Lord’s Supper table and have all things in common especially love for others. Allen Chapel is grieved over the loss of brother R. L. Woodard our tenor vocalist who leaves for St. Louis w-heTe he is to take unto himself a wife. Our prayers and good wishes will go with him. _ CARD OF THANKS We desire to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our many friends for the beautiful floral offer ings and sympathy given during the illness and death of our beloved moth er and grandmother, Mrs. Jennie Mc Corkle of Kansas City, Mo., who passed this life Thursday, December I 1st, 1921.

LINCOLN TROHNCES HOWARD (Continued from Pa*je One) wall, but Payne jumped over the mass of fallen players and was downed two feet across the goal line. Score: How ard 7, Lincoln 6. Third Period Lincoln blocked a kick on Howard’s twenty-yard line, the ball being recov ered by Payne in back of Howard’s j goal for a touchdown. Lincoln claim-, ed two points and a safety and Coach Shelburn rushed to the edge of the field to make a protest. Referee Bul lock, under ground rples adopted by both teams before the game, called the bail dead and gave it to Howard on their twenty yard line. Last Quarter Captain Law made himself a place in the Hall of Fame by getting hold of a forward pass thrown from mid field and scooted across Howard’s goal line for a second touchdown. Score: Lincoln 13, Howard 7. Howard tried to come back. Payne set the Howard rooters wild by grab bing the next kink off and running fifty-eight yards before he was soused in the mud. His teammates carried the ball on succeeding plays to Lin coln’s eight yard line, but a penalty for roughness set them back fifteen yards and Lincoln kicked out of dan ger. The Lincoln band struck up “It’s All Over Now” as the final whistle blew. A Lincoln with a trace of Southern melody in his voice and a touch ol jazz in his system had figured out a little rhyme to a tune all his own but which thousands took up, and it was heard all the way back to the hotels by the crowd. That little ditty went1 like this: The game was over. Lincoln’s old grails led by Dr. Alexander and the undergrads, stood with their hats off,1 eyes lifted to the sky and with all the feeling they could pour forth from their satisfied souls, they sang: Dear Lincoln, dear Lincoln, Thy sons will e'er be true; The golden hours we spend beneath The dear old Orange and Blue Will live fore’er in memories As guiding stars thro’ life. For thee, our Alma mater, dear, We’ll strive with all our might. We love every inch of sacred soil, Every tree on the campus green, And for thee with out might we will ever toil That thou might’st be supreme. We will raise thy standard to the sky 'Midst glory and honor fo fly, And constant and true, we will live for thee anew, Our dear old Orange and Blue. And then from the other side of the ; field, those Howard men stood, as | bravelv in defeat as in victory, loyal ! to thefr team and to their alma mater. ’Twas not so large a group as the Lincoln bunch, but there they were, 1 some with tears trickling down their chepks, as they, too, sang their' alma mater: Reared against the eastern skv, Proudly there on the hilltop high, Far above the lake so blue Stands old Howard, firm and true; There she stands for truth and right, Sending forth her rays of light, Clad in robes of majesty, Oh, Howard, we sing of thee. Be thou still our guide and stay, Leading us from day to day; Make us true and real and strong, Ever bold to battle the wrong. When from thee we've gone away May we strive for thee each day. As we sail life’s rugged sea. O, Howard, we sing of thee. Arid again as a fitting climax to a great game they sang the last verse over. There in the darkness, hand clasping the next persons, brothers is a common cause, the last line echo ing into the half empty grandstand.
