Vx \y v Read What Others Say* THE COLORED SOLDIER Some t me ago it was said that the War Department had anticipation of stationing a detachment of Colored ft ld;'~r« at Fort Omaha, owing to a f\ |H*t't ion gotten up by. sfcrne of the white residents on the northside and tb~ order was revoked. Your report er by chance met one of his old friend* that has lived in the neigh, borhood of Fort Omaha for fifty years and in those years that was a regimental fort. He said this de tachment of men were the moet hon est and gentlemenly that he can re member evfcr being stationed out there. He denies he had anything to do sdth Peterson. With a personal convict and observation I heartily a_ gree with my friend as I have been in Omaha myself for forty.six years. In part we must give some of the ” 1 credit to Sgt. M. A. Clark in charge of this detachment of the 10th U. S. Calvary with eighteen years of ser vice. He is of an unassuming dis position a disciplinarian. C. H. Spriggs, report.

"Maxie Miller Writes” Deafness vs. Love—“When A Feller Needs A Friend”—Three Aspects of Heredity—Birth Control may be Justi. fiable—Read and Reflect! (For advice, write to Maxie Miller, care of The Literary Service Bureau, 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. For personal reply send self addressed, stamped envelope.) MAXIE MILLER:—I am 26, and I’m deeply in love, for the first time in my life. The man I love wants to marry me and can give me a good home, but this man is getting deaf. His mother and his grandmother were both de&f, and I understood this means heredity. I might make out, but I don’t want any deaf children. It looks like a sin to have them. I don’t know what to do, because I do love this man and believe he will make me a good husband. Tell me what you think I ought to do. —Puzzled Polly. PUZZLED POLLY:—You do have a problem, but not as difficult as many others have. No doubt this deafness is hereditary, but it is not a dangerous thing to you or to oth- j ers. Seems to me if a woman loved 1 a man she would not let a thing like this stand in the way. She’d marry him and help him to succeed despite the handicap. As to children, it might be a case where birth control would be justifiable. Consider the questions from these view points and decide. —MAXIE MILLER Local Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man must prevail. These are the only principles which will stand the acid test of good citizenship in time of peace, war and death. (1) We must have our pro-rata of employment in businesses to which we give our patronage, such as groc ery stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores and coal companies, in fact* every concern which we sup port. We must give our citizens the chance to live res pectably. We are tired of educating our children and permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter in to lives of shame. (2) Our pro-rata of employment for the patronage to our public corporations such as railroad companies, the street car company, the Nebraska Power Company, the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company and other establishments which we are forced to support by right of franchise. Also our pro-rata of employment in re turn for the taxes we pa^ in our city, county state and federal government. (3) To encourage the establishment of a first class hospital that we may get the best that there is in medical science from our doctors whom we know to be nearest us, also to encourage a high respect of them and encourage more of our girls to take nurse training. (4) A one hundred per cent deportment of our cit izens in our public or private places of business, especial ly on street cars. If we are to be respected we must act respectably, especially in public places where we are con stantly before the public’s eye. (5) A one hundred per cent membership in the Om aha branch of the NAACP. should be had to encourage the efforts put forth by the founders of the organization and to assist the general office to establish a five million dollar endowment fund to maintain operating expenses and to further the principles of the NAACP. All peo ple of all races must be educated up to a higher principle and a more thorough understanding of interracial rela tionship that our county may in reality be a government of the people, for the people and by the people in whole and not in part. (b; The re-establishment ot the Christian Religion as Christ taught it, for the uplifting of mankind, elimin ating financial and personal gain. A practical Christian Religion, week day as well as Sunday. An attitude to ward our fellowman as a brother in order to establish a principle which will guide the destiny of each other’s children; our neighbor’s children today are our children tomorrow. (7) Courteous treatment in all places of business and the enforcement of the State Civil Right Law. (8) To encourage and assist in the establishment of the following financial institutions near 24th and Lake Streets: A building and loan association, a state bank, and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of administering aid and assistance to our widows and children. (9) To encourage the erection of a one hundred thousand dollar Young Men’s Christian Association Building near 24th and Lake Streets. (10) To enlarge the Young Women’s Christian As sociation that it may supply sufficient dormitory accom modations. (11) To teach our citizens to live economically with in their earning capacity by printing in each issue a bud get system for various salaries. (12) To make Omaha a better city in which to live by inaugurating a more cosmopolitan spirit among our American citizens. (13 To put a stop to the Divorce Evil by passing a State law making the mistreatment of a wife or a hus band by either of them, a criminal offense to be decided by a jury, first offense, jail sentence of a short duration; second offense, one of longer duration; third offense, < from one to five years in the penitentiary. This, we be- ] lieve will make men and women think before marrying. I (14) We must become owners of the city govern- j ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom ] we employ to administer its affairs, a salary that will at- ] tract men of high calibre.
