ARTICLE XIV, CONSTITUTION OF THE I ! - UNITED STATES ;; < * 4t ! I Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged <. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, | ■1 and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the ;; ! I United States and of the State wherein they reside. No •» ; I state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the ! ; privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor ;; ! ’ shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or prop- ;; ! erty without due process of law, nor deny to any person !! ' within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. I; « ► BUSINESS SUPPORT BUSINESS enterprises conducted by our people should receive the hearty and enthusiastic and united support of our own people. This is a proposition to which there will be given hearty assent, but with a very important proviso which is this PRO VIDED THEY ARE DESERVING OF SUPPORT. By this it is meant that they should give the same service for the money as their business com petitor. For example, in order that we may make our meaning clear, a colored man who is conducting a gro cery store cannot reasonably expect his people to patronize him if his veg etbles are stale and pay him the same price for stale vegetables that he has to pay his competitor for fresh veg etables. If his vegetables are as fresh as those of his competitor and sold at the same market price, he de serves and should receive the patron age of his people; if they are not he does not deserve their patronage. The colored grocer having limited capital may not be able to carry as large a stock as his competitor but his stock can be fresh and attractively dis played and his store neat and clean and he will get the trade because he deserves it. Of course some of his people will think that his competitor’s sugar for example is a little sweeter than his, that is to be expected, but he will get the support of a sufficient number to help him build up his busi ness. And what applies to a grocery store applies to other lines of busi ness. What the public «s looking for is service and the man who can render the service will get the business as a general proposition. With Omaha’s large colored population very largely centralized there is no reason why successful grocery stores, dry goods stores, millinery shops and similar lines of business could not be con ducted and adequately supported. No one should undertake to conduct a business of this kind unless he has had some experience and knows what he is doing. One with a knowledge of the business undertaken can make a success of it and will receive the pat ronage not only of his own people but of the public who need his goods.

There are cases too num erous to mention in which persons found guilty of using the mails to defraud, second ^egree murder, and like offences have been admitted to bail pending an appeal. The denial of this constitutional right to Garvey, while extending it to others, does not seem fair. It would indicate that pros ecution is being followed by persecu tion. If so this will only make friends for Garvey and his cause. BEATUIFUL LAWNS WE DESIRE to congratulate sev eral of our progressive citizens upon their beautiful and attractive lawns as well as the well-kept appear ance of their homes. Just to take a few at random, such lawns and homes as those of Mrs. M. E. Overall, 2210 Lake street; Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Me Clanahan, 2855 Miami; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph LaCour, 2421 Maple and Sergt. and Mrs. Isaac Baliey, 2816 Pratt, not to mention many others, are a credit to any city. Our people in this city have no reason to apologize for their beautiful and attractive homes and the pride they take in keeping them up JNe are becoming home owners in increasing numbers and taking pride in our homes. BETTER LIGHTING NEEDED 'J’HE MONITOR again calls atten tion to the fact that better light ing is needed on North Twenty-fourth street, particularly between Grace and Lake streets. We believe if the citi zens in that section would get busy with the city authorities they would have little difficulty in securing this much needed improvement.

JULY ISSUE OF “OPPORTUNITY” The July issue of “Opportunity," a magazine published by the Depart ment of Research and Investigations of the National Urban League, con tains such articles as “Race Relations and Public Opinion” by Graham Ro mevn Taylor; “Public Opinion and the Negro” by Charles S. Johnson; “A Librarian in Harlem” by Ernestine Rose; “Industrial Housing for Negro Wage Earners: An Experiment”; Community Service Training School”; “A Group of Negro Artists" by Fran cis C. Holbrook; “Ups and Downs of a Negro School Boy in the South” by T. O. Fuller; and "Negroes at Work in the United States.” In “Rare Relations and Public Opinion Mr. Taylor says, in part: “The history of social work in the last fifty years has laid emphasis up on individualized treatment, discard ing generalized views about school children as a group, criminals as a group, and dependents as a group. It should be a most appropriate service in the cause of better race relations for social workers to lead their com munities to discard generalized con ceptions of Negroes as a group, and to understand that Negroes are no more all alike than are whites, and that the wide range of individual dif ferences which is taken for granted amongst whites is also true amongst Negroes.” Mr. Johnson, in his article on “Pub lic Opinion and the Negro” writes, in part: “In the study of the influence of public opinion on race relations we are dealing with three important and highly sensitive elements: the facts upon which this opinion rests, the theories about these facts, and most important of all, the actions based on the theories.” Miss Ernestine Rose contributes an interesting article on “A Librarian in Harlem” in which she says in one of the paragraphs: “The 136th Street Library itself is the most active ex periment station for racial readjust ment. Two southern girls have been on the staff during the winter, one as a permiaent assistant, one for prac tice work during her student course at Pratt Institute. The first, character ized by a certain thoughtful radical ism, has gained a background and foundation for her opinions. The lat ter is learning that educated and re fined colored girls are of the same stuff as white, and that they may live and work together.” After giving a brief resume of Ne gro artists and students, Mr. Francis C. Holbrook in his ‘article on “A Group of Negro Artists” concludes: “There has been an increasing num ber of exhibits of Negro painting dur ing the past few years, all of which served to indicate the rapid progress that the Negro is making in art. “The work of immortalizing on can vas, or in stone the story of the Ne gro race, awaits the' man or woman so inspirted.” In the Editorial section the follow ing subjects are discussed: “Fatal ism and the Health Agencies”; “The ‘Truth’ About Negro Music”; “The Twelve Hour Day”; “Romulus and Uncle Remus”; “Why Negro Babies Die”; and “King Cotton, the Negro and the Nation.” The cover is a crtiyon drawing of Henry 0. Tanner, the renowned Negro artist of Paris, by Francis C. Hol brook. "Opportunity” is published at 127 East 23rd street, New York City. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH O. J.

KNIGHTHOOD IN SWEDEN IS SLOWLY DYIN6 OUT ————— i During Last Generation 125 Lines Have Terminated. Stockholm.—Knighthood Is still In Sower In Sweden, although the petals are falling one by one. This sentiment la suggested by the fact that the as aembly of nobles, which comes once •very three years, has Just been held In the historic Hall of Knights, attend ed by scions of counties and baronet l cles many hundreds of years old. The chamber of nobles, as such, has | not been active in Swedish government since 1880, and scarcely any titles have been created since that time. Statis tics goon to be printed show that there j are at present In Sweden 52 lines of ] counts, 136 baronial lines and 485 other | titled families. During the last genera ' tlon about 125 different lines have ter ! mlnated. It Is a law In the chamber ; of nobles that a line ends If the family ] holding the title changes Its natlnnal : lty. Thus many emigrants to America and other Countries have sought new fortunes at the price of old titles. It la also a law that a Swedish aristo cratic house must be declared extinct when there Iihs been no male birth In It during a period of 90 years. Swedish nobility had Its origin, prob ably, In the Twelfth century, In priv ileges awarded for military service, and a great number of titles were cre ated during the first half of the Seven teenth century by the famous King Oustsvus Adolphus. A few years after his death was built the beautiful Hall of Knights, where the assemblies are now held. With Its curiously carved copper roof, Its walls hung with gorgeous armorial bearings. It Is one of the show places of the capital. The Swedish nobles of today era great patrons of arts and sciences. Many are found In military and politi cal posts, while others engage In model fanning on their estates. Polar Natives Say Slain Kin Hold Nightly Revel Anchorage, Alaska.—Some natives of Alaska profess to believe that the an gry spirits of the Aleuts massacred at the behest of the early Russian discov erers and traders under ghellkoff, Bar anoff and Chirlkoff are lurking in the voicenoea of the Valley of Ten Thou •and Smokes. Beneeth the thin crust of the eanh covering the lower Alaskan peninsula and the Aleutian archlpejago, these spirits, the natives assert, a ft holding nightly revels and emerging periodi cally to hurl fire, smoke and thunder at the beads of the Invaders. The fanciful recital of the natives la that on Chirlkoff Island, long famed as haunted, a half hundred natives were lured Into a log compound, set upon by savage enemies under direc tion of the Russians, murdered and despoiled of priceless sea otter aklna. Their spirits are appearing again In protest. The eruption of three vol canoes In January la, they say, a re visitation of these spirits and will con tinue until they are avenged. For many years Chirlkoff Island has been a place seldom Inhabited by na tives or whites. Many harrowing tales from Chirlkoff were brought here by Captain Nick Ualkema, who has visited almost every nook snd harbor along the Aleutians. Last summer the skip per braved the Valley of Smokes, •merging with the rhoes burned from his feet and with many stories to tell. Kill 500 Horse* a Week for Food in Berlin Washington.—Five hundred horses • week are being slaughtered for food In Berlin, according to reports to the Commerce department. With the in creased scale of prices and added dif ficulties In food supply which have followed the Ruhr occupation, horse meat sales are said to be Increasing rapidly. Horse meat sells now at 2,000 marks per pound, which Is rough ly equal to about 10 cents in American money. Big Telescope for Russia. St. Albans, England.—One of the most wonderful telescopes In the world Is nearing completion here for shipment to the Nlkolaleff observatory, Russia. It welgha about nine tons, the Inside diameter Is 45 feet, the refract ing telescope for photography Is 32 inches, and the whole will be fitted to a revolving turret of steel. p, ■ . - - ■ • - - • • — C Finds Gas Shut Off; Can’t Keep Bargain Chicago. — Oscar Hchults. whose cheese store recently was closed by his creditors, walked Into a police station and asked to be arrested for breach of con tract.
