PICKENS PRESENTS
PERTINENT POINTS
TO BIG AUDIENCE
EiteM Secretary of National Advance
ment Association Brings In
spiring Message of
Work Done
ITS VALUABLE CONTRIBUTION
Teaching Rare Importance of Co
operative Defense and Raising
I Level of American
Civilization.
A large and appreciative audience
assembled in St. John's A. M. E.
church Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock
and heard an inspiring message from
William Pickens of New York, field
secretary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo
I pie The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Omaha branch of the
N. A. A. C. P. Its object was to
arouse interest In the great work the
national association is accomplishing
for justice to the Negro race in the
United States. Mr. Picken’s eloquent
and forcible presentation of some of
the major accomplishments of the as
sociation was such as to convince the
most skeptical of the necessity for
enthusiastic and whole-hearted sup
port of the organization.
V- Pickens said in part: “I am
1m tyed to think that the present
name of our organization should be
changed. It should be called the As
sociat on for the Advancement of
American Civilization, for that is its
real purpose. In our battle for jus
tice for the Negro, who happens to be
at the present time the man who is
lowest down, we are fighting for jus
tice for all men who reside within the
territorial Jimits of this land and in so
doing we are raising the level of
American civilization. This is the
philosophy underlying all our work,
and this is the principle I desire you
to keep in mind, while I recite only a
few of the accomplishments of the
N. A. A. C. P. which prove this con
tention.”
The speaker then showed with ir
'■j rentable logic that in fighting lynch
ing Negroes are not alone concerned,
but ;t is a fight to banish mob-murder
from America, maintain the suprem
acy of regularly constituted courts of
justice and so protect every man.
Passing- to a review of the long and
successful legal fight to save the so
called “Elaine rioters”, or the farm
ers of Phillip’s county, Ark., who in
the most lawful manner possible sim
ply -ought to save themselves from
robbery and were fired upon while
holding a meeting in a church, and
for defening themselves were charged
with murder. Mr. Pickens showed
how this had established the principle
that a mob-dominated court deprives
one of the constitutional right of an
impartial trial by “due process of
law.”
if,” said Mr. Pickens, “the N. A.
A. < . P. in all the years of its ex
istence had done nothing more than
win the fight it waged for nearly six
year- and saved the lives of those
men, that accomplishment alone is
sufficient to justify its existence and
enlist the hearty support of every
right-thinking American, white or
black, and especially of every Negro.
None should hesitate to give bis
money to carry on its work. It took
over $15,000 to win the battle and
save the lives of these black men. It
takes money to carry on the work of
the association and while generous
white people, believers in justice, con
tribute to the cause, the bulk of the
support must come, and rightly so,
from the colored people themselves.”
Mr. Pickens, citing this concrete il
lustration of co-operative defense,
maintained that the greatest contrm
ution of the N. A. A. C. P. to our
race in America has been its demon
stration of the power of and the ne
ce'-ity for co-operative defense in
winning justice not only for the Ne
gro, hut for all men and so eontrib
< uting to the advancement of American
civilization and real democracy. This
is the great lesson that the race needs
to l»e taught.
Many other achievements of the N.
A. A. C. P. were hastily reviewed by
the speaker, chief among which are
the fight against residential segrega
tion still going on; Jim Crowism in
various forms and for full educational
/ privileges. The fight for admission
into the pubic schools is a pioneer
fight not only for the Negro hut for
all American citizens. If the man
lowest down wins his right to an ed
ucation that settles it for ull.
Preceding the address, “America"
was sung by the audience, led by a
chorus and the Chapel orchestra, un
t
j der the direction of J. A. Harris; in
j vocation by the Rev. E. H. McDonald;
| words of welcome to St. John’s by the
Rev. C. A. Williams; a solo by Miss
i Eleise Cottrell, teacher of music at

I Mo.; anil the introduction of the
j speaker by the Rev. Russel Taylor.
The Rev. John Albert Williams, pres
! iilent of the Omaha branch, presided.
I Sixty new members were secured,
llefore closing the meeting, the Negro
National hymn, “Lift Every Voice and
Sing,” written by James Weldon John
! son, national secretary, was sung by
j a chorus led by the orchestra.
Mr. Pickens spoke at Fremont Tues

standing Leader of
Our Race
Fremont, Neb., June 18.—(Special
j to The Monitor)—A large audience
greeted William Pickens, field secre
tary of the N. A. A. C. P., who spoke
here Tuesday night before a large
and appreciative audience in the First
Methodist Episcopal church of which
j the Rev. Dr. Raker is pastor.
The meeting had been arranged for
by the Rev. John Adams of Omaha
who supplies the pulpit of the colored
Methodist church here every other
Sunday. The Fremont Ministers’ Al
liance had voted to do everything in
their power to make the meeting a
success and carried in their church
bulletins publicity matter advertising
Mr. Pickens as an outstanding leader
of the Negro race with an extra
ordinary message. Mr. Pickens meas
ured up to the standard set.
The Fremont Chamber of Com
merce, by resolution, voted the use of ■
j their parlors and dining room for a
reception to Mr. Pickens after the ad
dress. A chorus of twenty-five voices
had been organized by the Negro citi
zens and sang folk songs most pleas
ingly.
Mr. Thomas Watts, the oldest Ne
gro citizen of Fremont and founder
of the Negro church of this city, in
troduced the meeting with divine in
vocation. Mrs. Hattie Gardenhier
j Brown captured the audience by the
rendition of three songs. Mrs. Brown
I *s an exceptional contralto singer.
Mr. Pickens spoke for an hour and
ten minutes on race relationship em
phasizing the fact that the Negro
| was maligned and misunderstood be
cause of available methods of the
; white race to understand his problems,
by reading Negro books. He paid his
respects to the white press in com
mercializing scandalous articles in re
ference to the Negro and refusing to
publish outstanding facts of Negro1
achievement and accomplishment
along the lines of industry, economic
and moral accomplishments. At the
; close of the meeting the white con
gregation appreciated the effort of
the evening by giving a large free
wdll offering.

APPROVE MONITOR EDITORIAL, POINTS OUT
DANGER OF PDDUCITT COMMITTEE STAND
Hartingtnn, Neb.. June 15, 1925.
Editor, The Monitor:
I am a white man and I wish it under
stood that the suggestion I have to make
is strictly in the interest of your colored
people. I read carefully your editorial of
May 28th. It was good, so good that I
gave the paper to one of our leading at
torneys to read.
I have just read the article written on
that editorial by the Publicity Committee
of the Colored Commercial Club. If the
proposition made by that committee were
carried out in full it would argue toward
the segregation of the colored people.
If I mistake not I have read criticisms
in your paper of firms conducted by white
people because they discriminated against
the colored people in the employment of
help. The point was well taken. But
if the suggestion made by your committee
is the right thing then the same thing
would be right for the white people.
What is food for the goose is food for the
gander.
If there is any one thing that you col
oral people, or any broad-minded man, is
opposed to more than any other thing it
is the segregation, in any sense, of your
class or any other class, and if the sug
gestion offered by your correspondent were
carried to its logical conclusion it would
mean segregation in a very definite sense.
We should work as individuals and not
as classes. It is your peoples* duty and
every man's duty to buy where he can do
the best for himself. In doing that we in
clude every business man, white or black,
to do the best he cun by his patrons. It
is a crime against nature for the white
man to segregate your people and it is a
crime against yourselves for you to do
anything that works to that end.
What we want is to eliminate class.
We can't do it all at once, but we are
doing fine. Let our employment of labor
or the purchase of any commodity he de
termined by the value of the goods. That
will encourage honesty in labor or trade.
Let us work for unity and harmony be
tween the races and not encourage segre
gation in any form.
Your friend,
DR. W. M. WARD.

CROPPER SYSTEM DOOMED
Washington, D. C., June 18.—The
system of tenant fanning in the
South is rapidly undergoing a change,
and it appears that the “cropper”
system, which has long held the col
ored farmers in a state of serfdom, is
doomed. It is a system peculiar to
the cotton-growing section of the
country and has left in its trail thou
sands of poverty-stricken and hope
less human beings. But the ravages
of the boll weevil and the opening of
industrial opportunities in the North
are bringing about a change that
should result in a readjustment of
agricultural conditions in the South—
a change that will be beneficial to all
concerned, especially to the colored
farmers, who too frequently are the
victims of the “naught’s a naught 'na
figger’s a figger” method of book
keeping so generally used by their
exploiters.
During the five years beween Janu
ary 1, 1920, and January 1, 1926,
thousands of these tenant farmers,
mostly “croppers”, have left the
farms and are now engaged in indus
trial pursuits. Sumter county, Ga.,
has lost 961; Fayette county, Tennes
see, 808; McCormick county, South
Carolina, 790; Lincoln county, Arkan
sas 692; Warren county, Mississippi,
296; Giles county, Tennssee, 286; Clai
borne county, Mississippi, 193, mak
ing a total of 3,926 colored farmers
in seven separated counties. If this
movement continues, there is every
reason to believe that conditions more
favorable to tenant farmers in the
South will be urged as *an economic
necessity.
NEGRO PRIEST READS
ORDINAL PREFACE
New York, June 18.—(Columbian
Press Bureau.)—For the first time in
the history of the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine, a Negro priest, Rev.
Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St.
Philip’s Episcopal church, 213 West
134th street, read the preface to the
ordinal. The occasion was the ordina
tion, by Bishop William T. Manning,
of class of five young men to the
diaconate and the advancement of
five deacons to the priesthood. Among
those advanced to the priesthood was
Rev. Aaron J. Cuffee, the assistant
at St. Philips. After the ordination
Bishop and Mrs. Manning entertained
the ten young men at their residence
at luncheon.
! JOHNSON AWARDED
SPINGARN MEDAL!
—
Secretary of National Advancement
Association Receives a
Much Coveted
Honor
New York, June 18.—The Spingam
medal, given each year to an Amer
ican of African descent for “most dis
tinguished achievement”, lias been
awarded for 1925 to James Weldon
Johnson, New York secretary of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, “author,
diplomat and public servant,” it was
announced Saturday.
He was appointed United States
consul to Corinto, Nicaragua in 1909, •
after serving as consul in Puerto Ca
bello, Venezuela, since 1906. In 1920
he made an investigation of the Amer
ican rule in Haiti, publishing charges ;
of misrule in The Natidn, which are
said to have led to a congressional in
vestigation.
Mr. Johnson is the author of sev
eral volumes of prose and poetry and
a few years ago won the prize offered
by Columbia university for the best
editorial in which over 2,000 Amer
ican editors competed.
SEEKS WEST INDIES TRADE
Ottawa, June 18.—Columbian Press
Bureau)—A conference which is ex
pected to result in a new trade agree
ment between Canada and the West
Indies will open here June 19. Traf
fic experts of the Finance Depart
ment and the Department of Trade
and Commerce are now preparing
data bearing on the tariff as it af
fects the countries concerned and this
will be presented to the conference.
Other departments of the government
have been instructed to gather infor
mation covering the field of commun
ication via wireless and cable. At
present there is a trade agreement
in force between Canada and the West
Indies, entered into in 1920. It pro
vides for the institution of a sub
sidized mail, passenger and freight
steamship service between the islands I
and Canada. Since this agreement
came into existence, and more parti
cularly during the past year, it has
been contended in the House of Com
mons that the steamship service is in
adequate, with the result that trade
between the United States and the
West Indies has shown remarkable
growth while that of Canada has not.
OMAHA BASE BALL TEAM VASTLY
IMPROVED. TULSA HERE WEEK-END
Omaha Western Leaguers Steadily Climbing in League Standing
After Poor Start at Beginning of Season—Team
Is Being Strengthened
Omaha followers of Western
I/eague baseball have a feast in store
for them. The Omaha Buffaloes ar
rived home Wednesday for the long
est home stand of the season. Games
each day until July 2nd.
Saturday and Sunday of this week
Tulsa will he the visiting attraction
and as the Buffaloes took (the entire
series from the Tulsans at their home
diggings last week, Lyman's team will
be out for revenge, so great games
can be expected.
Following them in succession come
St. Joseph, Oklahoma City and Des
Moines. This home series for the lo
cals will have a strong bearing on the
ultimate outcome in the standings.
The locals are playing great ball at
present and are out for another flag.
Lee King, who has played center
field for Omaha all season, has been
released and the position has been
strengthened by the purchase of Lour
ance from the East Texas League.
This youngster is a .400 hitter and
' is now batting at that stride. Mag
nate Burch paid out a real wad of
cash for this boy.
And Tony DeFate, a real ball
player will be eligible in a few day's
and then our weakest corner on the
club, 3rd base, will be sound and se
cure.
Mr. Burch is making every effort to
secure a real team and should be en
couraged in his efforts. Attendance
has not been what it should.
Support, both moral and financial,
is what wins pennants, and Omaha
fans should be doing their share. We
have every chance of copping the flag,
as the race in the Western is now a
topic of writing in all the country’s
sporting sheets. No other league in
the country is staging such a close
fight.
Let's greet the home team during
their stay here this month with ban
ner crowds and then watch the wins
stack up.
Single games start at 2:45 and
double headers at 2:00 o’clock.
VENEREAL DISEASES
ARE DESTROYERS OF
HEALTH AND WEALTH
(By the United States Public Health
Service.)
IV.
The Remedies—Educational Measures
The first three articles of this series
recounted the history and distribut
tion of the venereal diseases and
pointed out their cost in health and
wealth. Having noted the facts, the
question arises what can be done to
reduce this economic burden and les
sen the strain which these diseases
place upon individual, family and so
cial welfare. The measures which are
being employed in this effort may for
convenience be divided into three
parts—educational, legal and medical.
This article presents the educational
measures, the others being reserved
for subsequent articles.
The aim of educational measures is
to arouse the individual and the com
munity to the seriousness of the prob
lem by emphasizing the following
facts:
That syphilis and gonorrhea are
communicable germ diseases and dan
gerous to the public health;
That persons having acquired them
should place themselves under thor
ough, reputable, and continued treat
ment;
That under such treatment cure is
possible;
That every person who has been
exposed to venereal diseases or thinks
he has been exposed seek medical
treatment immediately;
That the diseases are spread prin
pically through prostitution and illicit
sex conduct;
That many persons, however, ac
quire these diseases innocently
through the carelessness, indifference,
or viciousness of persons already in
fected, and, for this reason, such in
different persons should be controlled
even to the extent of quarantine, if
necessary;
That the only certain prevention is
for everyone to limit sex relations to
those sanctioned by law and morals.
The presentation of these facts
varies, of course, with the age and
particular interest or function of the
various groups and institutions par
ticipating with the official agencies
in this educational effort. Among
such groups and institutions may be
mentioned civic clubs, women’s or
ganizations, welfare societies, the
schools and churches, industrial or
ganizations. The Federal, State and
lo.al health departments in conveying
this information to the general public
utilize such facilities as: Pamphlets,
books, placards, lectures, motion pic
tures, exhbits and stereopticon slides.
Some of the more important educa
tional materials which the United
States Public Health Service makes
available for use in its co-operative
work with the State Health depart
ments are:
“The Science of Life”—a 12-reel
motion picture.
“Keeping Fit”—an exhibit for boys.
"Youth and Life”—an exhibit for
girls.
"The Venereal Disease Menace”—
an exhibit for adults.
"Venereal Disease Information”—a
monthly publication for physicians
arid health officers.
“Social Pathology”—a publication
for social workers and kindred groups.
A series of pamphlets:
Set A—for young men.
Set B—for officials and the general
public.
Set C—for boys.
Set D—for parents.
Set E—for girls and young women.
Set F—for educators.
These pamphlets, as well as the othei
materials mentioned, may be obtained
from the State Boards of Health 01

Service, Washington, D. C.

Impression at First
Appearance.
Brown’s Omaha Royal Giants, Om

! ball team opened their season Sunday
( at League Park with a win over the

by all fans alike to be one of the best
j games played in Omaha for some
time. ’
On Monday evening the same clubs
i met again and once more Brown’s
home boys pulled up in front to the
count of 5 to 4 in 12 innings of fast
baseball.
One of the real features of the
games between these clubs was the
work of both catchers. These were
undoubtedly two as clever workmen
as could be found. Both were adepts
| at one hand catching and clever trick
ery. Gray, the Omaha receiver, has
a wonderful arm but uses poor judg
ment in throwing or returning a ball
to one of the basemen. There is little
to be gained by such throwing.
The club is now at Sioux City, but
will return here on the first open date
at league Park.
Plans should be made to attend
these games, which will be held all
season on open dates at League Park.
The team is a real credit to Omaha.
ENFORCED EXPANSION
FOLLOWS MIGRATION
W'ashington, D. C., June 18.—(Co
lumbian Press Bureau)—Economists
far and near are hailing with delight
the findings with a recently-made
j survey of the South have brought to
1 light. The survey shows that in the
sol it! area heretofore solely dependent
upon the cotton industry and agricul
ture, manufacturing is now of equal
financial importance. Birmingham
pig iron and steel are now finding
markets in the North, West and over
seas; whereas a few years ago its
limitations were restrictive. In yard
age of woven goods, the cotton-grow
ing states now show an output which
compares with New England’s output
as 4 to .’!, and the South is now utiliz
ing its climate, soil and water power,
mineral and forest resources, together
with modem machinery and equip
ment, in a way as never before.
These changes have become moat
marked during the past decade which
witnessed the departure from the
South of more than a million Negroes,
the majority of whom had labored
long and faithfully to produce wealth
for the South. And the effects of so
great a loss of efficient labor were
made more noticeable when the re
stricted immigration regulations, fos
tered by the republican party in its
endeavor to protect American labor
from too great an influx of foreign
labor, became fully effective. In the
South, necessity became the mother of
invention, and a remarkable progress,
j which cheers the world, has ensued.
