The Monitor — A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Edftor $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1922 Whole Number 380 Vol. VIII—No. 16 BISHOP DEMBY IS WELCOMED HERE BY BIG CONGREGATIONS Suffragan of Arkansas and Southwest Province Preaches at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon and Trinity Cathedral MAKES LASTING IMPRESSION The Sympathizing and Sustaining Christ Theme of Helpful Sermon. Tells of Missionary Work in Arkansas. Large congregations greeted tno Rt. Rev. Edward Thomas Demby, bishop suffragan of Arkansas and the Southwest Province of the Episcopal Church, both at St. Philip's Church, where he preached Sunday morning, and at Trinity Cathedral, where he de livered an interesting address on the work of the Episcopal Church among the race in the Southland, Sunday night. He made a most favorable and lasting impression upon all wno neara him. Bishop Demby celebrated the Holy Communion at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon at 7:30 A. M., and both he and his cultured and charming wife briefly addressed the children of the Church or Sunday School at 10 o’clock. At the 11 o’clock service, winch was the usual choral Eucharist, Father Williams was the celebrant, and Bish op Demby preached and gave the blessing. His theme was ‘'The Sym pathizing and Sustaining Christ,” and was based upon St. Matthew XI:28, "Come unto Me all ye that travail and are heavy laden and I will rei <esh you.” The speaker stressed among other points the truth of our blessed Lord’s knowledge of the needs and aspirations of the humblest of men and His desire and willingness to help ull and give them strength for their daily tasks. He emphasized the need of consistent following of the Divine Teacher, and the manifestation of His spirit in the lives of all those who profess to be His followers. The church was filled to capacity at this service, several persons having to stand. Trinity Cathedral was comfortably filled Sunday night where Bishop Demby spoke on the work of the Epis * copal church among the colored people in the Southland and especially in Ar kansas. The service was taken by Dean McQlnley and the Rev. John Al bert Williams, Bishop Shayler welcom ing and introducing Bishop Demby and giving the benediction. Bishop Demby told how that In the ante-bellum days many of the slaves were given spiritual training by the Episcopal church and how, despite the fact that after the war, many went Into other religious bodies, traditions » and love for the Church’s ritual and k worship prevailed. His own territory covered 640,000 square miles and In this territory more than 2,000,000 of tlie race dwell. One great need for education and evangelization is money. There is also a scarcity of trained workers. One of the most helpfui signs of’the times in the solution of the Inter-racial problem iB the number of broadminded and upstanding white Southerners who are striving to see that tilings are made better for the race. The Church is striving to do her share in upbuilding Christian character and promoting good feeling that will make the races walk side by side in amity and good will in preserv ing the best traditions of tills country against hostile foreign elements that would overthrow our institutions. The white American will ultimately realize that his black compatriot, the Negro, is his best friend, and this realization may come sooner than many may expect.

DEMBY Despite the fact that Bishop and Mrs. Demby’s stay in Omaha was brief they were the recipients of many ap preciated social courtesies. Satur day night an informal reception was held at St. Philip’s rectory which gave many an opportunity of meeting socially these delightful guests. Sun day afternoon Mrs. W. E. Davis, nee Celia Rector, formerly of Little Rock, Ark., but now a resident of Omaha, took them with their host and hostess for a delightful automobile ride; on Monday afternoon Bishop and Mrs. Demby, with their host and hostess, the Rev. and Mrs. John Albert Wil liams, were the guests of Bishop and Mrs. E. V. Shayler at luncheon, at the handsome Episcopal residence in Fair acres, after which they were taken for an automobile ride by Mrs. Craig Morris. Dr. Morris placed his car at the disposal of these distinguished guests, conveying them to and from the Cathedral, to other engagements and the train. Other parishioners thoughtfully and kindly offered their cars which courtesies were appreciat ed. Bishop and Mrs. Demby left for Chicago at half past five o’clock Mon day, delighted with their visit to Omaha. DR.

REPUBLICANS OF NEW JERSEY ENDORSE DYER BILL IN STATE PLATFORM New York, Oct. 20.—Acting upon the request of the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People, Dr. George E. Cannon, mem ber of the national board and presi dent of the Jersey City branch, has been successful in having inserted in the New Jersey state republican plat form a plank urging passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. The plank is as follows: “We believe in the majesty of the law and condemn mob violence as a menace to the safety of our republic. We denounce it as a na tional crime and contrary to the Am erican standard of justice. We there fore urge congress to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now before the United States senate, to the end that no human being within the bounds of the United States will be deprived of life without due process of law.

To a birthday party on October the six, The kiddies assembled at little Miss Hicks’; In automobiles swiftly Borne of them came, While some were already there play ing a game. And then I must say there weije grownups there too, Who were eager and glad the occa sion to flew, But no one who looked on could ever dispute That the children indeed all looked very cute. 'Mid shouts of amusement on the aut umn air borne, At short intervals came the sound of a horn; The fun still ensued till the hostess did mention That there was something Inside to attract all attention. V Inside, a huge table awaiting its freight Was glowing with Hollowe’en decora tions great; The kiddles came forward and stood all around Enjoyed the grand repast with hardly a sound. The presents were many, were useful and rare, Thus having been chosen, with the greatest of care. And when all was over they started for home, in their hearts wishing Charlotte more birthdays to come. ST. PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Street* Russell Taylor, Pastor Our services Sunday were excep tionally good. Most of the members are supporting the services royally in the matter of their attendance. The pastor is emphasizing the need of more stringent efforts for community better ment. The Church must come to her own and strive for the saving of the community as well as the individual. The Church is the one important Insti tution in the world to put into execu tion the first and second and to my mind the most important petitious of the Savior’s prayer, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth.” Services next Sunday will be as fol lows: 11a. m., “Give Me the Old Time Religion.” 8:00 p. m., “The Message to the Church in Smyrna.” Much good is obtainable from the study of the Spirit’s messagou to the early Churches, for In them Is a fore cast of the various circumstances through which the Church in all ages must pass. At 7:15 the Christian Endeavor topic is “Patriotism: What It Is and What It Does.” Isa. 1:16-20. (Citizenship Day.) THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE. This organization met in its initial meeting at the Y. W. C. A. Tueeday morning aud was called to order by the ltev. J. P. Jackson of Council Bluffs. The ministers gave very en couraging reports of their work. There was a united determination to put forth a more determined effort against pre vailing vice in our midst. This deter mination was given new impetus by an address full of weighty thoughts and earnest persuasion given by Miss i Hawes, National Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. Officers for the year were elected as follows: President, Russell Taylor; Vice-president, Win. H. Franklin; Secretary, J. A. Harris; Recording Secretary, 0. J. Burckhardt; Treasur er, T. S. Saunders.

VIRGIN ISLANDERS RE SNFFERIHG IS THE REPORT “More Capital, Better Farming, ana Thrift Education are Urgently Needed,” Says Frederick MacFarlane. DAILY WAGE IS FORTY CENTS Islanders Are Handicapped by Tra ditions and Need More General Education Along Various Lines. Hampton, Va., Oct. 20—Natives or the Virgin IslandB, which were ac quired by the United States from Den mark in 1918 through purchase, after many years of futile negotiations, are suffering from dire poverty on account of the rapid removal of Danish capital, the heavy inroads of the cotton boll weevil, and the wasteful “mining" of the soil by the extensive and persis tent cultivation of sugar cane, accord ing to Frederick MacFarlane, a native of St. Croix and former Instructor In history at the Junior-senior high school of St. Thomas, who spoke recently In Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, on “The History and Economic Conditions of the Virgin Islands.” Professor MacFarlane has spent the past twelve years in the Virgin Islands. Previously he devoted three years to study in Denmark, where he preparea himself to become a translator In the Danish language. Recently he brought to Hampton Institute three promising, hlgh-school boys from the Virgin Is lands. These boys will be educated at Hampton Institute out of funds which will be raised in the Virgin Islands and among Virgin Islanders living in New York and other large cities. Some of Professor MacFarlane's ob servations on the Virgin Islands may be summarized as follows: “The Orphan Islands” Little is known about the Virgin Islands which were under the control of Denmark for 250 . ears. The Vir gin Islands might ihi called the "or phan Islands” since no one bureau of the U. S. Government cares to assume responsibility for them. The Virgin Islands include about 124 square miles—St. Croix (bought by Denmark of France in 1733), 80 square miles; St. Thomas (taken by Denmark in 1671) and St. John (taken by Denmark in 1683), 44 «quaie miles. Slavery Abolished In 1848 Negro slavery was abolished dramatically in the Virgin Islands. The governor-general, named von Scholten, on July 3, 1848, acting on his own re sponsibility, declared the slaves free and issued the emam ipation proclama tion on July 4. In September, 1848, this act of the governor-general was confirmed by the King of Denmark. In 1841 the Danish government started schools for the children of Negro slaves In the Virgin Islands. Low Mages Bring Suffering In the last days of the Danish au intnist ration, full grown men received 25 cents per day for their labor. In 1915 a labor union was organized and in 1916 a six-week strike brought the daily wage of the laborer to 40 cents. Then the World War carried the dally wage to 96 cents. Now the daily wage of the laboring man has dropped to 40 cents and the laboring man can secure only two davg of labor each week. llandlcuppod by Traditions The Virgin Islands lie eighty miles east of Porto Rico and eighteen De grees north of the equator. The peo ple on these islands are handicapped by their devotion to conventions and traditions, especially in the matter of farming. The people of the Virgin islands want the type of education for which Hampton Institute stands—a type which will teach men, women and children the principles of thrift and sound reasoning. REPUBLICAN LEAGUE HAS NEW MEETING PLACE The Douglas Republican League held an enthusiastic and well attended meeting last Friday night. M. F. Singleton, the president, was in the chair. Sheriff Clark explained his part in trying to protect his prisoner from the mob when the Court House was so badly damaged three years ago. He was bombarded with ques tions which he answered without eva sion. Mr. Beal, candidate tor County Attorney, was another speaker. Ad dresses w«re made by several others. Hereafter the League will meet every Friday night at the Colored Repub lican headquarters, 2206 North Twen ty-fourth street. The public is in vited to all meetings. Mr. and Mrs .R. Dewey Allen have purchased a beautiful mouern home at Twenty-seventh and Hamilton streets into which they expect to move on or about November 1. i LOUISVILLE 1IAS RADIO SCHOOL FOR COLORED i-iouiaville, Ky.—The Radio school Idea started by Station W of this city has been etended now to include a school for colored people. The school is at the colored Y. M. C. A. The col ored population of the Louisville ter ritory is estimated at 80,000 and the colored Y. M. C. A is in the heart of the most important colored district— From Radio Digest. F ACTS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW ....$225,000,000 was contributed by Negroes during the war in Liberty Lions, Red Cross and other drives. There were 106 captains, 329 first lieutenants and 204 second lieutenants commissioned from the officers train ing school, Ft. Des Moines, 1917. John Brown requested that “my only religious attendants be poor little, dirty, ragged and barehead and bare footed Slave Boys and Girls, led by some old gray-headed slave Mother.” Haiti has had 25 presidents since 1903. Our inventive genius has been ap plied successfully from the ground up —from mining apparatus to flying machines; from cotton pickers to piano players; and some of the largest in dustries in the country are built upon the basic patents of Negro inventors —notably a twenty-odd million dollar shoe machine industry founded upon Jan E. Matzelinger’s invention for lasting shoes. 2 NEW YORK MAGAZINES PUBLISH ARTICLES OF INTEREST TO RACE Twc articles of especial interest to colored readers are published in two magazines of New York. One of the articles appears in the October McClure’s Magazine. It is called “Race Co-operation” and is by George Madden Martin, who has writ ten many short stories about colored people. The other article is by a col ored author, Benjamin Brawley who writes on “The Negro in American literature” in the October “Book man”. Mrs. Martin speaking of what has been done and planned by interracial committees in the South, asserts that the chief obstacle to proper consider ation of race problems is that the white man does not know the Negro, “The white man in the United States,” says Mrs. Martin, “will never see the Negro as he is, until he sees him as an individual, and sees his case as an individual case.” The unrepresentative character of the Southern Commission on Inter racial Co-operation is admitted in the figures which Mrs. Martin gives, showing that only five out of the fif ty-eight members are Negroes, but Mrs. Martin shows that it has interest ed and brought together many or tne best white people of the South in an endeavor to create better conditions. Mr. Brawley calls the Negro “the supreme challenge to American liter ature.” Speaking of the flood of in ferior works now being published, Mr. Brawled says: “In all this welfare of commercialism and sensationalism the Negro’s one request of literature so far as he is concerned, is that it bo fearlessly and absolutely honest.” PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS Bigamy is no Joke; it’s derned hard work. No government official ever died from overwork yet. Quit thinking you can reap before you sow. Take courage, and occasionally a liver pill, also. Very few go bankrupt through benevolence. The only devil there Is Is in the mind. ’Twould be a queer shaped head that fits a woman’s hat. A fellow can get plenty of hell with out reading Dante. The pen Is mightier but the sword pays better. Cleverness and cuseedness frequent ly goes arm in arm. The worst evils to threaten us are ourselves. It Is the married man who thinks seriously of marriage. All’s well that ends well if it pays well. Never put off till tomorrow those you can do today. Too many of us have millionaire dispositions. It takes valuable time to roll cigar ettes. Put down two and carry one—that’s triplets. Don’t spend too much time contem plating. RECEPTION AND ACTIVITIES AT THE NORTH END “Y” Last Monday night a largely attend ed reception was held at the North End “Y”. It was the annual fall get together meeting. The audience was a representative one. Mrs. D. W. Gooden had charge of the program. The audience was given a radio treat, hearing a concert from Atlanta, Ga. An earnest address and plea for the support of this good work was made by Miss Mae C. Hawes, of New York, who is one of the general financial secretaries. Other brief but excel lent addresses were made by Miss Blank, another national worker from New York; Mrs. Campbell, secretary of the Central “Y”, and Mrs. Offutt, chairman of the colored work and a staunch friend and liberal contribu tor to this work. Cooperation was pledged by the Rev. W. S. Metcalfe and Mr. H. R. Randall. Refresh ments were served and a delightful social evening was spent. A call for 100 women to volunteer as canvassers of the North End to raise the branch quota of about $3,500 was made oy Miss Hawes. Several responded, the drive is on next week and every body who is approached should cheer fully avail themselves of the privi lege of giving for this much needed work. Several classes have been organized and are open for membership. Ai.'ong these are a reducing class, for those who are too stout and want to shuffle off some of their surplus flesh; a gymnasium class, for those who want to become graceful and strong; a Bible class for those who desire in struction in the Book of Books; a millinery class and a book-lovers club.

Burckhardt, Pastor We are in the midst of a great re vival meeting. Have you heard our Evangelist, John T. Brown? If not you had better hurry and hedr him. The people of both races say he is one of the best that ever came this way. Sunday was a great day with us. People came and stayed all day. Rev. Mr. Brown preached to a crowded house in the evening on “The Curse of Sin.” A number were converted. Our meeting will continue at least this and next week. If you come and hear him once you won’t miss a service. The community will be made better by this meeting. All are cordially invited. Services all day Sunday, and every night at 7:00 p. m. SPECIAL SESSION NOV. 20th ON DYER AND SHIPPING BILLS Harding Asked to Support League’s Petition—League Urges Signatures So As to Get President to Name Dyer Kill in Call. Washington, Oct. 20.—Congress is to be convened in extraordinary ses sion on November 20th. President Harding will issue the call immediate ly after election. He means to drive the ship subsidy bill through and while the house is wrestling with that the senate will be expected to put the anti lynching bill over. The calling up of the latter meas ure comes as a complete and not par ticularly pleasant surprise to the aver age legislator, who is as skittish about this as about the ship subsidy, but for the sake of the Negro vote in Ohio and other northern states certain pledges were made and it is the intention to redeem these as soon as possible. This welcome White House state ment comes while the National Equal Rights League is in the third week of effort in petitioning President Har ding to call a special session and to name the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill in the call. The League operating from its headquarters in Boston, first tele graphed a request to the president di rect. The president’s secretary wrote back to Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, the pres ident of the league, October 1st that a special session was not likely but in case of one the matter would be put before the president. Meantime Rep resentative Tinkham of Boston had written the president at the league’s request. On October 3rd the league had an audience with Senator Lodge in Boston, as a result of which he wrote President Harding that night. Then came the press report printed as above in several papers including the Roston Globe. The league wired Senator Lodge to press the president to name the Dyer bill in the call. It urges the race to keep on signing its petition, also to ask senators and congressmen to write to the president and to ask their senators to press the bill through be fore the regular session. The Boston branch is arranging a meeting with Senator Lodge for sup porting its petition, at which he will be asked to speak. WHITE SOUTHERN LEADER ENDORSES AWTI-LYNCHING BILL Prominent Thinker and Trustee of the University of Tennessee Makes Plea for the Passage of the Dyer Bill NOT ANTI-SOUTHERN ATTACK Opponents of the Measnre Are Labor ing Under Misapprehension Is the Contention of Bolton Hrnitli. New York, Oct. 20—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has made public a statement from Bolton Smith, of Memphis, Ten nessee, president in 1919 of the local Rotary Club, and a trustee of the Uni versity of Tennessee, endorsing the Dyer Amti-Lynching Bill which is to come to a vote in the Senate during the next session of Congress. The statement of Mr. Smith was said to be especially significant, by James Weldon Smith, Secretary of the Ad vancement Association, in that Mr. Smith declared the Bill contained no special attack upon the South. Mr. Smith’s statement in full is as follows: “I am in favor of the Dyer Bill / giving Federal courts jurisdiction in connection with the crime of lynching under certain cases, because: “1. I believe that local sentiment in many places is too strong to permit local authorities to enforce the law against mobs. “2. A trial before a jury in a Unit ed States Court is not a trial before an alien tribunal. But the Jury is selected from the people of the entire district or state, and one is assured of a more impartial Jury—one not terrorized by that local sentiment wnlch usually i3 so blatant after any mob action. Few officers have the courage to oppose strong local sentiment. "3. There is no special attack on the South in such a measure. It is required by the progress of the coun try, north as well as south. As com mon Negro labor has moved into the North, Negroes have been lynched by white mobs there too. “4. That some Southern men who sincerely oppose lynching should not favor the Dyer Bill is due to a misap prehension of its effect and purpose. There is no part of the United States in which those favoring the due pro cess of law for the punishment of crime should not be in favor of the punishment of lynchers by Federal Courts, whenever local officials fail to do their duty. “5. The lynching of Negroes t>> white mobs is bad enough, but there is some danger that we will, before long, be faced with an even more dan gerous character of lynching, namely the lynching of those of one religious faith by those of another faith. This would divide America into hostile camps and produce civil war, and We need a law that will enable the Feuerai Courts to repress these cases with the utmost severity. “6. The crime of lynching is, next to the assassination of a prominent officer of the Nation, one of the great est which can be committed. This is especially so where it is performed by one class or race and suffered by an other, which other race or ctase re gards the lynching as an attack against every one of its members. A lynching in Georgia tends to disturb labor con ditions not only in the adjoining states but in the entire South, and is not without its effect in embittering race relations in the North. It cannot be regarded as merely against the peace and dignity of the State within whose limits it is committed. Its evil effects spread far beyond those limits. It Is a crime against the Nation in a very real sense and therefore should be triable by Federal Courts. "7. I do not assume that this law will immediately stop lynching: but it will be one step in that direction. Above all, it would impress the offic ials of every state with the determin ation of the people at large to stop this crime. The effect of a few trials in the Federal Courts will be highly beneficial.
