HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear headed Business Man ANOTHER QUITS # Last week we chronicled and commented upon the withdrawal of the Rev. J. L. Beebe from the Omaha Klavern of the K. K. K. and expressed the hope that some other Protestant ministers who had sworn allegiance to the Gizzard of the Invisible Empire, might see the error of their ways •and turn frem darkness unto light. The ink was scarcely dry upon the paper when the local dailies published the withdrawal of a prominent and popular Methodist minister in the person of the Rev. Edgar Merrill Brown, pastor of Dietz Memorial church. This minister, according to his published statement, refused to bow to the dictation of the Klan which demanded virtual absolute surrender of his mind and will to the order. But according to their oath this is what subjects of the Imperial Gizzard or Wiz ard—what’s in a name, anyhow ? —are supposed to do. The wonder grows upon us how men of the supposed intelli gence and Christian ideals of men like Brown, who is a most likable fellow, could for a mo ment give even intellectual hos pitality to say nothing of alle giance to such an organization as that of the night shirt brigade. May we not again indulge the hope that Brow-n’s conversion is sincere and that others, like him, will foreswear their alle giance to the Imperial Gizzard and become loyal citizens of the ' United States. ORGANIZING FOR CHEST DRIVE \ demonstration that Omaha can ac- I complish great tilings, and that the city can, in every way take care of its won. j i« the way Chairman J. E. Davidson vis ualises the Community Chest campaign this year, when $430,000 will be asked for the 1927 needs of the thirty members agencies. The campaign will commence November 15. Twenty-five hundred workers will begin then the task of giving everyone in the rity the opportunity to subscribe to the chest. Nearly 2.000 of them will work in the residence district under the direc tion of Harley C. Moorhead, former eler tion commissioner, who has planned a drive along the lines of a political campaign, with the goal to be sought, the getting out of the complete “vote” of he city. Downtown, in the stores, 600 of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, led by Frank Campbell, their former president, will be busy. W. W. Roller will direct the workers in the industrial division; and A. W. Gor don will head the committee that will seek the larger subscriptions from those who are expected to give the most. Payment of the smaller subscriptions in cash at once, instead of their extension over a period of months or a year, will he stressed during the campaign as a I f I HAVE YOU TRIED |* '$ WARE'S HOME MADE ? f CANDY? | y y X Special for Saturday and X £ Sunday, * | Cocoanut Brittle, 28c Lb. ?! | Ware’s | { Candy f i Kitchen ? ? ? 1516 North 24th St. % % »x^~x^"x^~x~x*<~x~x"x~x*<~x'4 j A MONSTER WEEK $ of y.

Organizer of Omaha Negro Democratic Club, and Active in Labor Circles. — If evidence were needed that Ne groes do not think alike on political questions, it is fumishd by men like Harry Leiand, who some years ago, with Alex Stuart, organized the Negro Democratic Club of Omaha, which is ■ still in existence and wields c.onsid- I erable influence in democratic politics. Mr. Leland states that he espoused the democratic party from the convTc- | tion that its principles best conserve the interests of the masses rather . than the classes, and furthermore, be- j cause he felt convinced that Negroes | ought to divide like other groups, on I political issues. ^ For a number of years he was a wel fare member on the grievance com mittee at the Cudahy Packing com- j pany and was active in labor and civic I circles. Mr. Inland has personally declined political preferment. He states that i his sole desire in being active in poli- i tics is to secure recognition in the way ; off employment for worthy and quali- ; fied young men and women of the race. Mr. Leland was offered the posi-j tion of law enforcement officer by Governor Bryan, and also that of i deputy sheriff by Sheriff Endres, both of which he declined. He likes poli tical leadership, he frankly states, be cause of the influence it gives secur i ing substantial recognition for the j j race. : “BAND BOX REVUE’ Were Tennyson to look at the “Band Box Revue” today, he would very likely paraphrase his “Charge of the Light Brigade” to read “Girls to the tight of them, girls to the left of them, girls in front of them, etc.” To the untutored observed the poten tial impression seems to be nothing but girls; dancing girls, acrobatic girls, singing girls, athletic girls, all trying to outdo each other in giving an expression of what they think should be the proper method of each particular dance or posture. But to the trained auditor, the girls are but the background of some big num ber wherein the principals participate later, and they for the moment only occupy the center of the spotlight. The "Band Box Revue” will occupy the stage of the Gayety theatre on Sunday matinee, with a splendid com pany of comedians, headed by Dave \ Burt and Mae Jensen and aided by Bob ; Fagan, Dolly Ashton, Feme Proctor, Gordon Rydeen, Don Proctor, Clyde Shafer, The Proctor Trio and “Shei | kee,” the dancer, besides the chorus. JOHN SMITH PRESENTS FALL AND WINTER FASHION REV I K Dreamland Hall was the scene of a beautiful and artistic style revue on * Wednesday evening, October 6. To the strains of the Night Hawk orchestra the models promenaded up and down an artistically decorated raised aisle and platform down the center of the hall. Models display ing morning and negligee, silk lingerie i —men’s lounging robes and pajamas were first on the program. This was followed by a group dis | playing sports wear, street wear, cloth and fur coats. Then came a j group representing afternoon wear, j ; dinner gowns and club dresses, foF ; lowed a group displaying evening wear, formal gowns and wraps. It j culminated in a beautiful bridal proc 1 essiin with two bridesmaids, a maid i of honor, a matron of honor, ring : bearer and tiny sweet flower girl. The : groom in conventional evening attire was awaiting the bride. The gowns worn by the women ami girls were rich and beautiful and were worn with grace and poise Many of the gowns I were from the John Smith Shoppe Vocal numbers weie rendered by j Miss Dorcas Jones, with Miss Edna I M. Stratton at the piano, and.Mr O. C. j i Winn with Mrs. Bernice Payne at the I piano. The orchestra also rendered several selections besides the music for the ! promenade of the models. Thre were between 20 and25 models. Miss Strat ton at the piano played the wedding > inarch for the bridal procession. — DR.

Melting ice produces moisture. Frigidaire is dry. An insufficient ice supply means a rising temp erature and spoiled foods. Frigidaire is always cold. Frigidaire is automatic. It keeps your re frigerator cold and your foods fresh without the slightest attention. You can leave your house for days at a time—when you return you'll find your foods in the Frigidaire cabinet as fresh as when you put them there. And with all its ad vantages and increased convenience, Frigidaire operation usually costs less than ice. Come in and see the new Model B-5-2 Frigid aire. It is a complete, self-contained model— has ample storage space for the average family and can be installed for only #245. plus freight and installation. CHAS. E.
