I 2 maw11 i..j hi u_iui»!!ui—c-i- ■ SMITH’ ACCEPTANCE There is a clarity, frankness and honesty about the accept ance speech of Governor Smith which must commend it to the rank and file of the American people. It is the utterance of a man who unquestionably has afirm grasp upon the funda mental principles of govern ment. Sanity, common sense and practicability are domin ant notes of this statesmanlike message. Candor and courage loom large. He tells where he stands on the issues deemed paramount without attempt at evasion or subterfuge. Those who may radically differ with him on what they consider vital questions cannot but admire him for the candor and cour age with which he states his convictions. A mere politician, as many would have us believe Governor Smith simply is, is not so frank. This stamps Smith as more than a politi cian. His views on public ques tions, too, raise him to a high er rank. Two outstanding questions | are to be stressed in this cam paign, prohibition and farm re lief. Upon the first Governar Smith has a definite, clear-cut program to propose — and, mark you, to propose, not to enact, as that belongs to con gress. It is a liberalization of both the Volstead act and the Eighteenth amendment. He favors a doctrine of states rights, which would leave the control of the liquor traffic to each state. With this we do not agree, although we are firmly convinced that there should be some change or mod ification in the present law which in our judgment seems to make against rather than for temperance. His proposal for farm relief is no more definite than that proposed by his republican op ponent. He admits that he has worked out no plan, but is open minded and will endeavor to “substitute action for inaction and friendliness for hostility.’’ While it seems that these two are to be made the major ques tions of this campaign it seems to us that his views are sound and statesmanlike on other is sues which vitally affect the nation. Among these are econ omy in government, which can be effected by a consolidation of the work of some of the de partments; river improvement and waterways; the preserva tion of forests; good roads and highways and the cutting of red tape in caring for war vet erans. His desire for equal opportunity for all classes and his pledge to appoint persons for their ability to render ac ceptable service to the public ought to strike a responsive chord with all who believe in true Americanism. We confess that we are in strong sympathy with nearly all that Governor Smith has said. We believe he has high ideals of government and that in the event of his election he would do his best to make his administration memorable as a government of the people and by the people. Boston Hill, son of Dr. J. B. Hill, arrived in the city this week and will spend the winter here, attending Creighton university. NOT Al.MS BUT OPPORTUNITY And who is my neighbor? This question was largely answered by a number of persons through their va rious churches in a very worthy ap peal made only recently through the office of the Omaha Urban league. It was evidenced that my neighbor is not necessarily the person living close by or the person who communes with me in church; he may or may not be a fraternity brother, or a fel low worker. If one touch of nature makes the whole world kin surely one in dire need is my neighbor. No bet ter manifestation of neighborliness nor a more tangible manifestation of Christian brotherhood has been seen than the response to the case of George Wilson, aged 88, who lost his horse, his only means of support for himself and wife, who is 74. On applying to the Industrial de partment of Urban league for work it was evident to the secretary of the league that it would be very difficult! to secure employment for him. On interviewing Mr. Wilson it was learn ed that during the six or eight years he had been hauling he had built up a very good trade which allowed him and his wife to live comfortably. Sev- j eral old horses had been given him by the Humane Society but their age and years of service rendered them worthless to the old man in a very short space of time. After explaining to a dealer of horses the case of Mr. Wilson, a 50 per cent reduction was obtained on a sound, strong horse, shoes were pur chased and a supply of feed and shafts for the wagon. The old gentleman was profuse in his thanks to those who made these purchases possible and cried for joy. i C. E. Jones, Pres. ATlantic 4235 J; X 10 Years on This Corner ^ | EASY FURNITURE CO. f.

EMANCIPATION DAY OBSERVATION To the Citizens of Omaha: The colored people of our city have made arrangements for the proper observance of Emancipation day. September 11th. The day will be given over to pic nicking and athletic events at Krug park, and it is the one day in the year when these people from every part of the city are g^en an oppor tunity to hold a genuine reunion, and enter into the spirit of appreciation they feel for this act of the great Lincoln. It is highly creditable to them that they have, year after year, made this signal demonstration of their grati tude, and I respectfully suggest that wherever possible, their employers al low them their freedom for this day Respectfully, JAMES C. DAHLMAN, Mayor. JUNIOR BRANCH OF THE N. A. A. C. P. Upon the invitation of Miss Etta Green, a number of young people met at her home, 1518 North Nine teenth street, Wednesday evening, to j talk over the forming of a junior branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple. A very delightful impromptu musical progTam was rendered by Messrs. William Jackson, James Owens, and Graham Butler, after which Mr. Henry W. Black, chairman of the executive committee of the local branch of the association and Father John Albert Williams gave brief talks on the aims and purpose of the association. They congratu lated the young people present and assured them of their interest and co-operation. Those present prom ised their support to make the branch a success. x-x**xk-<-xxk-x-<“X“X“X~x~xx ?
