All persons born or naturalized in the LTnited States, £ !! and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the X ;; United States and of the State wherein they reside. No j* ; > state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the «{• privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor X 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. X THE BALANCE OF POWER ^EWSPAPERS are calling attention to the fact that the vote of col ored Americans is the determining factor in all of the northern states, certainly in the pivotal ones. This has been true in several states for many years. It is true of Nebraska where our numbers are comparatively small. It has been true here for many years, but we have failed to take advantage of it. Concentrated and intelligently directed it should be used as a fulcrum for securing great er recognition in governmental af fairs and granting us full enjoyment of our civil rights, which even in the hither-to-fair-minded states are being gradually restricted. We hold the balance of power in Omaha and in Nebraska. How shall we use it? Nebraska is one of the doubtful states. Our vote thrown to either side will swing the state into that column. We hope the republicans will not feel so secure in the support of our people in this campaign that tney will think it unnecessary to under take any work among us. THE BOLT OF LEWIS 0NE of the greatest blows dealt to the national prestige of the re publican party, so far as our race is concerned, is the bolt of William H. Lewis, the brilliant Boston lawyer, former classmate and warm personal friend of Calvin Coolidge. Lewis has declared for Davis. He points to the fair record of the West Virginian on race matters and his open stand against the Klan as cogent reasons why he intends to support him. Among the younger men of college training Lewis has a large and enthu siastic following. His action cannot do otherwise than have an important influence upon them. That Lewis is A PRAYER FOR DELF !: PREJ1 1; By Morne; ; (For the Associa • GOD, who hast made n !

It will be a great mistake for political leaders to conclude that Lewis’ defection is a small matter. His bolt and that of others shows a growing spirit of independent think ing and voting upon the part of many of the younger and middle-aged men of the race At the national repub lican convention in Chicago four years ago, Lewis was rooting for Coolidge’s nomination as enthusiastically as Coolidge had rooted for Lewis when clad in moleskins he was bucking the line for their alma mater. His bolt is a startling surprise. SUPPORT COOLIDGE WE BELIEVE that the best inter-j ests of our people lie in support ing Calvin Coolidge. We do not think that we can better ourselves by sup porting either LaFollette or Davis. We could count on a square deal from LaFollette, but he has no chance ot election. His plan is to throw the election into the House and that would give us a fine kettle of fish. Have faith in Coolidge. CAN HE SWING HIS PARTY? PERSONALLY we admit that we are an admirer of Davis. We ap preciate his stand in West Virginia against the Jim Crow car law and other anti racial legislation. But des pite his excellent record in this re gard and his personal desire and inten tion of doing the square thing by all Americans we question his ability, strong as he is, to impress his broad mindedness upon the democratic par ty, the stronghold of which is in the j south and its chief stock in trade op-j position, open, frank and uncompro-j mising to the constitutional rights of the Negro. Davis, the man, is all right, but his party has always been ITERANCE FROM RACE ?

Per sonal admiration for Davis, the man, must not blind us to the traditionally unfair attitude towards our people of the large mass of his party which stands behind him. Can he swing ms party? Can the leopard change his spots or the Ethiopian his skin? INJURED IN RUNAWAY CAR Mrs. Charles H. Stanton of Twenty sixth and Erskine was injured by be ing thrown from her seat in the run away street car which crashed into an automobile at Sixteenth and Cum ing street, killing a little girl and seriously injuring two other persons Saturday afternoon. Mrs. S'anton was in the front seat of the car and was badly bruised and hurt by the impact of the car. Fortunately no bones were broken. ROOSEVELT POST TO GIVE BALL The Roosevelt Post of 'he American Legion is giving a ball Monday night at Dreamland Hall to raise funds for the Legion which they use in charit able work.

HOLDS MEETING The Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. held an interesting meeting last Sunday afternoon at the North End “Y”. Rev. John Albert William* pres ided. The treasurer’s report was read showing the branch to be in a good financial condition. Other reports and communications were read and the necessary action taken upon them. It was announced by the president that a membership drive would be put on in the autumn. After business was dispatched, Dr. Craig Morris gave an interesting address on the Boy Scouts, which elicted a helpful discussion.
