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.

ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCI
O. J. Burkhardt, Pastor
5233 So. 25th St.
Interesting services Sunday, Sun
day School 9:30 A. M.; Sermon 11 A
M. by the pastor; Subject, “Good Citi
zenship.’’ Class meeting 12:30; Allen
league 7 P. M.; Preaching at 7:30 by
the Rev. W. S. Metcalfe. At the close
of the services all members who have
served out their probation will be read
into full membership. Quarterly meet
ing last Sunday was one of the best
in the historv of the church. Rev. J
S. Payne gave two good sermons filled
with the inspiration of the holy spir
it, 3 o’clock sacramental service. Peo
ple came from all quarters and differ
ent churches; Rev. W. C. 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.

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.
