GET LIGHTER
Many heated discussions are taking place as to the
American Negro growing lighter. Dr. Irene Taueber of
Mount Holyoke College states, “Nevertheless, the race as
a whole is growing lighter, it is due to the crossings with
the lighter colored stock already in existence.” Then
she further states, “The segregation process operative in
the inheritance of pigmentation will prevent the develop
ment of a population of one uniform hue.” Just what
does Dr. Taueber mean by “segregation process”. We
gather two things from this writer’s article—little white
blood is now entering the Negro racial mixture and the
white man is still operating, but on a segregated basis.
Either the writer of this editorial is underestimat
ing Dr. Taueber’s scientific survey on the intermingling
of the white and black races or lack of understanding of
this congested idea.
This segregation process” as she terms it is in
deed puzzling, since the beginning of the intermingling
of races, it has been a distinct privilege of the white blood
to use the segregated process.
As to the population of one “uniform hue” is the
disturbing point for consideration—or all you may say,
summed up in a nut-shell. The Negro is getting lighter
too fast. It does require close examination to tell which
is which these days.
Many doors have been closed and privileges refus
ed because of the color of the skin but if this range of
duskiness is to your gain and their loss and if a man is to
be denied the opportunities of life because the color of his
dkfc, pot lighter, folks, get lighter.

terian Church of Wahoo, Nebr., will
appear in a lovely Sacred Concert,
Sunday afternoon, November 27th, at
3:45 O’clock at the Hillside Presby.
terian Church, 30th and Ohio Streets.
Music lovers in Omaha, should show
their appreciation to this lovely group
of singers, who are bringing to us
contributions from the great compos
ers from Debussy down to Rodeheav
er. We should show our appreciation
in giving them a capacity house—not
because they are of the other race,
but because they are “Out of Town”

fore are Our Guests.

hour and will include a half a dozen
chorus numbers, two numbers by the
male quartette, two from the female
quartette and three vocal solos. The

Isaac, The Deceived Father
(The Literary Service Bureau)
Text: The voice is Jacob’s voice, but
the bands are the hands of Esau—
Gen. 27:22.)
One must pity the weakness of
Isaac as strongly as he would con
demn and contemn the conduct of his
wife, Rebecca.
Rebecca was wickedly partial. She
loved Jacob more than she loved Esau
and she plotted to secure for her fav
orite the blessing which was due his
brother Esau. She Succeeded, but
this favorite suffered many things
and his mother must have suffered re
morse.
Pathetic was Esau’s, “Bless me al
so, my father,” when he knew his
own brother had defrauded him of his
priceless heritage. But Jacob paid in
fear, august suffering and uncertain,
ty. Let all fathers take warning
from the weakness of Isaac and its
its direful consequences.

Getting Too Thick with Neighbors
(The Literary Service Bureau)
Some women actually have no tern
perate zone in regard to their inti
mate associations with neighbor worn
en. They are overflowing, ardent
gushing, intemperate and as thick a:
the proverbial “two pease in a shell
They they fall out and the end is ter.
ribly frigidity if not real enmity anc
slander.
Generally when a woman falls out
with another, her first thought is tc
“tell what I know.” She uses such
expressions as, “She beter not fool
with me, or I’ll open my mouth and
she’ll be ruined." Better not get toe
thick and become too confidential, and
there will be no danger and no feai
of having secrets repealed. 'This is
a case where prevention is far bettei
than cure.

PRISONS AND PRISONERS
by Clifford C. Mitchell
o -—
* * •
Elsewhere in this Armistice edit
ion will, undoubtedly, be found ap
propriate features, poems, drawings
and comments that will definitely
connect the subject with that great
day of November 11th, 1918.
In this space, however, I wish to
use Armistice as the theme of a col_
umn and in a manner that will spec
ificly bear upon the lives of prison
ers that are to be found in all pris
ons and at this particular time.
An armistice can be declared and
put into effect by others than two or
more warring nations. Each prison
er has the opportunity of outling an
Armistice edict that will affect two
or more rivaling forces that are now
swaying his mode of living.
These forces within us are con
stantly at war. Varying circum_
stances environments and associations
create changing thoughts, desires,
sentiments and habits. And in these
continuous changes we are confront
ed with temptations that will easily
devour us if we do not stop and de
clare a truce—or Armistice—between
these warring thought processes.
The Armistice that put an end to
the World War caused an immediate
cessation of human slaughtering
which otherwise would have continued
indefinitely not only causing the loss
of millions of human lives but a
complete destruction of many govern
ments and all therein.
Even the winners in such a pro
longed death-struggle would be so
seriously handicapped due to the
wrecked and maimed condition in
which its forces would be in that
they too would suffer equally with
the losers for it would take centuries
to overcome the damage that a few
years of destruction would inflict.
Just so with our own lives. Some
of us have been years paying the
penalty, and attempting to rebuild
the things that we destroyed in mo.
ments of confusion when we permit
ted ourselves to be swayed by war
ring evil forces that seemed to daz
zle false illusions before us.
Many others are just commencing
to pay—and pay dearly—for the des.
struction that uncontrolled warring
forces (within themselves) have
caused—all of which could have been
averted if a truce—or Armistice, had
been declared soon enough.
There is much consolation in the
fact that even, after our physical en
ergies have become mutilated and ex_
hausted that we can call a truce or
Armistice, and rebuild our resources.
In the preparation of such an Arm
istice edict we must use reason and
become an architect in preparing the
plans and terms upon which we re
build, replacing the faulty and weak
parts with materials of strength and
so brought together that each part
will serve to support the structure as
a wnoie.
After the plans for the rehabilita
tion have been perfected the Armis
tice edict will beneficially differ from
a resolution because in such plans we
not only resolve to do, or refrain from
doing, certain things but because it
really is an Armistice we must act
ually stop certain performances and
actually commence others.
Some times an Armistice can be
perfected because of pressure from
various direct and indirect sources.
All prisoners, in all prisons know of
many things and many ways by
which we have observed an Armistice
on certain actions because of both di_
rect and indirect pressure. When we
fail to observe such an Armistice we
know well what the penalty is.
But to really observe Armistice
Day we should do so voluntarily de.

NOT SATISFIED
by R. A. ADAMS
(The Literary Service Bureau)
You say you are not satisfied
1 With what your life has been;
That often fighting, you have lost,
When you deserved to win;
But, better that it should be thus,
For, satisfied, you know,
You’d cease to struggle, and aspire,
And thus would cease to grow.
Heavy your load has been, you say,
Your tasks so very great,
That victim you have been oftimes,
Of unrelenting Fate;
But loads and tasks are needful
things,
By them we make advance;
For no great height* were e’er at
tained
By aid of fickle Chance.
iTt-. HABITS "•mump
by A. B. Mann
Slovenliness in Dress
(The Literary Service Bureau)
It is doubtless true that most eld
erly people become sloven in dress.
And perhaps it is true, as claimed,
that elderly men are greater offend
ers in that way. But women are far
far from being exempt from the hab
it.
There are women whose stockings
are habitually twisted and wrinkled.
Others are constantly raising their
their “undies”. Women wear dirty
shoulders to keep up the straps on
dresses and aprons and excuse on the
ground that, “I can’t keep dressed up
while I’m working.” And the phases
of this weakness are almost number
less.
We find many men who will not
take time to shine their shoes, to
shave or even to brush their hair.
Intensely disgusting is the appear
ance of a man with a soiled cellar on.
There are both men and women who
will not take time to clean fin
ger nails or to wash their and
behind their ears.
Any and all of these habi dis
creditable and inexcusable. In many
cases friends would like to call at
tention to these faults and thus help
the addicts, but nearly all of such of
fenders in this way are very “touchy"
and to make such an effort would
bring displeasure and resentment.
