A CORRECTION
Our attention has ben called to an
error in the report of the Anita Patti
Brown recital at the Pilgrim Baptist
church published in our last issue.
Miss Hazel Roulette and not Miss
Willa Hayes was Mme Brown’s ac
companist on that occasion. Mis8
Hayes was her accompanist at the re
cital given in Fremont. We gladly
make this correction.
DELIGHTFUL GARDEN
PARTY AT LENNOX HOME
—
Society was agog with the elegance
of the smart “garden party” given
Monday night from 7 to 10 o’clock,
by Omaha’s social leaders, Mesdames
William Murphy and Earl Oliver, at
the palatial home of Dr. George A.
Lennox, 2527 Patrick avenue, honor
ing Mrs. Harrington of Austin, Tex.,
who is the guest of her brother, Dr.
Lennox, at his home. The Lennox
gardens were beautiful, a typical
Parisian reproduction with the green
foliage entwined with a mass of tiny
electric lights and garden flowers,
which lent a most artistic setting for
the gorgeous and exquisitely perfect
forest background of trees forming
the many unique and artistic effects
carried out by the profusion of the
wonderful garden scene, with flowers
growing everywhere. The two huge
pillows of ice arranged in the gar
den with flowers, ferns and foliage
gracefully encircling each pillow was
the most unique ever seen in Omaha.
The marble bird bath was electrically
lighted and was so fittingly arranged
in the garden that the guests were
charmed with its grandeur. The ta
ble was delicately decorated with
flowers and a magnificent combina
tion color electric wrought iron lamp
formed the center that blended with
the garden surroundings perfectly as
if an artist had painted the elaborate
scene. The driveway, with growing
flowers, furnished a delightful re
treat for groups who were merrily
chatting throughout the evening.
The punch table was in a cozy nook
in the garden. The smartly gowned
guests added much to the ideal sum
mer evening. Miss Minor of St.
Louis, Mo., sang a group of classics,
with Mrs. Cordelia Armstrong at the
piano. The announcement was made
that there would be a treasure hunt
for the young smart set of the col
lege and school group present, and
the young folks scampered to get
their clues and after great glee and
much enjoyment, near the garage,
Mr. Burns Scott found the hidden
treasure, which was (a pot of gold)
a two and one-half dollar gold piece.
Those out-of-town guests sharing
nonors with the distinguished guest
of honor were: Miss Jones of Cincin
nati, Ohio; Mrs. Bates of Cleveland,
Ohio; Mrs. Henderson of New York
City; Miss Minor of St. Louis, Mo.,
Miss Willette Embry of Wilberforce,
and Miss Lucy Stevens, Girl Reserve
“Y” secretary of Denver. Assisting
the hostesses during the happy event
were Mesdames Augustus Hicks,
Florentine Pinkston, Ted Adams, C.
A. Burnett, Isaac Bailey, George
Watson, Earl Waldron, W. D. Tay
lor, A. L. Hawkins and Miss Gertrude
Lucas. A delicious menu was served.
Society young and matured of Oma
ha’s exclusive set commended the
hostesses, Mesdames Murphy and
Oliver, on having given society a
thrill and elevated the social world
as never before known.
OUSTING OF PERRY HOWARD
(Continued from Page One)
nouncing and condemning the pun
ishment and humiliation of Howard
with deep and bitter acerbity. The
effect upon the alignment in the cam
paign cannot now be definitely as
certained. It seems certain, however,
that the republican party will find ad
ditional difficulty in holding the race
in its accustomed allegiance by reason
of the crucifixion of the Mississippi
leader.
Clearly Sees the Trend
The Negro’s eyes are wide open.
He is keenly sensitive of these sinis
ter political maneuvers. Step follows
step with logical coherence. The ob
vious purpose seems to be the elimin
ation of the Negro from directive
voice in the high councils of the party
out of deference to the lily white
sentiment. The gospel, according to
the lily whites, is that the Negro in
the south should be allowed to vote,
but should have no controlling say as
to management or manipulation of
political organizations. In this wise
they hope, vaguely, perhaps vainly,
to build up a functioning republican
organization in the southern states.
The dominant spirit of the party is
veering to this view. Recent actions
of the party are easily interpreted in
the light of this purpose.
Sidesteps Amendments
First came the refusal of Kansas
City to lay equal stress upon the en
forcement of the 14th and 15th as
upon the 18th amendment. This puts
the country on notice that the repub
lican party has weaned its own chil
dren conceived in the civil strife and
bom amidst political revolution. The
southern states, therefore, need no
longer fear the enforcement of the

part of the constitution to which they
have objected bitterly for a gener
ation.
Elimination of Negro
The second step is seen in the elim
ination of the Negro as a co-ordinate
advisor in the high councils of the
party. And so on one pretext or an
other Ben Davis, Walter Cohen and
Perry Howard must relinquish their
hold upon the republican machinery
in Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi.
This hold must be broken not with
the blunt honesty of political neces
sity, but under the plausible guise of
purity and righteousness.
Slemp Enlisted and Exalted
The third step follows with care
fully planned consecutiveness. Bas
com Slemp, the erstwhile secretary of
President Coolidge, is chosen to bring
the southern democratic vote and the
lily white republican into the fold.
Mr. Slemp is the arch lily white who
knows the wiles and guiles of the
game. If laying office holders under
tribute be the great political crime,
then Perry Howard’s transgression,
if we are to believe documented
charges, compared with Slemp’s
would be as a mole hill to a moun
tain. And yet, Slemp is exalted and
Howard is debased. So great is the
affliction and sacrifice that the Negrq
is forced to undergo in order that the
G. O. P. may build up effective
strength in the southern states. To
the white voter, the marginal issue
between the two parties is a rapidly
narrowing one. If the civil war
amendments are to be eliminated
from tVe issue political contro
versy and if tr.e Negro is to be de
prived of political equality in the
councils of the republican party, then
to him party differences are wholly
obliterated.
The Real Issue
There remains but one dominant
issue of a moral nature which is de
termined, not by the platform of the
parties which are indistinguishable,
but by the personal attitude of the
contending standard bearers. The
real issue after all is not so much re
publican or democratic, Hoover or
Smith, but wet or dry.

j A BIG EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION jj
J to be held at ;■
J KRUG PARK—September 11 j;
J We are hereby calling the public’s atten- ;j
J tion to this big event. We have heretofore, :■
> no doubt, witnessed this day of celebration j:
£ in Omaha, but never before have we had it ■■
£ in this wise. :■
J There is a big effort being made by the ■:
£ Committee to reach every organized group im
J of race people in and around Omaha, in J:
J order that they may share in, or have a |j
J chance to share in this affair. We are hop- £
< ing to have every church group, every fra- >:
J ternal society and the business and profes
£ sional men to participate in this celebration. £
3 We have heard from many sources, much 3
£ criticism about a date for this celebration, f
J To that we have only this to say: In the £
J Slave States, the dates differ; in Nebraska, 3
-■ there is no fixed date for this occasion, for £
•: this was not a slave state. So, we use a date 3
£ on which we can secure a place that fur- 3
£ nishes such recreation and amusements as 3
5 this day calls for, hence, the day and place £
3 this year is 3
3 September 11th, at Krug Park! £
■j Another objection has been that it has £
£ been a single-handed effort. That objection £
J this year is removed by reason of the fact J
£ that all groups are being approached to take 3
J part. 3
3 Still another objection has been because £
£ some have thought that the churches and £
J pastors should not have the dance pavilion £
■: operating under church management. That J
J objection this time is removed, for the Krug J
J Park Amusement Co. had contracted with 3
■I Mr. John Smith for the dance pavilion last 3
3 March, so the churches will have no hand in £
J the management of the hall. J
3 Now let us all get together and have a big J
J day of co-mingling one with another and at £
3 the same time celebrate in a large way our £
3 Race Freedom.
£ The following named brethren have been 3
J approached and have agreed to co-operate £
3 with the plan. From Fraternities: 3

IS Dr. Grant is in hearty accord with the |:
J present plan of operation, but because of so :■
much unjust criticism growing out of last :■
year’s celebration, he does not care to have ;j
any hand in the affair this year. I think his :■
attitude in that respect is about the same as
ours would be, hence we would have the ^
public to know that there is no hard feeling j;
between Dr. Grant and the Committee on ■:
account of this celebration. ■■
We hope this announcement will be clear- %
I a1* ly read and understood so that everyone will I;
know that all groups can be benefited by \\
plans offered if they will take part. At this :■
writing the Committee has not been able to >:
see all of the churches and pastors, neither ;j
have we had time to see all of the Fraternal
Societies, but we will see them before the «:
next issue comes out, so as to let the public :■
