Guide’s Platform 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, i 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 pay 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 country may in reality be a government of the people, for the people and by the people in whole I and not in part. (bj The re-establishment ot the Christian Keiigion j 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. 1 (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, j administering aid and assistance to our widows and f children. b (9) To encourage the erection of a one hundred 1 thousand dollar Young Men’s Christian Association r Building near 24th and Lake Streets. 5 (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. i (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; i from one to five years in the penitentiary. This, we be lieve will make men and women think before marrying, second offense, one of longer duration; third offense, (14) We must become owners of the city govern ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom i we employ to administer its affairs, a salary that will at and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of tract men of high calibre. National _ (1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill and thus stop the shamful lynching of American citizens. (2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet. (3) Federal control of the educational system that every child must have a high school education. (4) Assist in the furtherance of research by our scientists and historians to prove that civilization was first founded in Africa. (5) Establish a political influence which will bring about our pro-rata of higher appointments made by our chief executives. (6) Stop graft in politics by passing a Federal Law making election day a legal holiday and compelling every American citizen of voting age to vote. (7) Prevent further wars by teaching the so-called white race that it is high time for them to quit fooling themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths of the world’s population. They must be taught that color is due to climatic conditions. They must be taught that seven-tenths of the world’s population is made up of darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race; and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad few. If the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this world’s family now, by teaching the principles laid down by our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our children some day soon, on the bloodiest battlefields this world has ever known. (8) Cut down congressional representation from the Southern States in proportion to the number of votes cast. The OMAHA GUIDE will put forth its best efforts to bring about the above 22 points with the assistance of those who believe it is for the best interest of good Amer ican citizenship. - — ■ -- --—-.- ■■■ i ) “LOVE STORIES” by Honore De Balzac (Published and distributed by D. H. Smith, 135 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y.) * * * In this little pocket-sized volume the publisher has brought together eleven short stories written by Bal zac about a hundred years ago As the reader knows, Balzac wrote most ly of French life, or the lives of those who happened to be in France, and as observed, discussed and imag ined by Balzac, depicting nature in the raw and clearly exposing human desires, emotions and passions. * * * For this compilation the publisher includes the following stories: The King’s sweetheart The Maid of Thilouse The Brother-in-Arms The Vicar of Azay-Le-Rideau The Reproach The Continence of King Francis, the First The Danger of Being Too Inno cent Despair in Love, How the Pretty Maid of Portillo® Convinced Her Judge Concern ing a Poor Man who was called LeVieux Par-Chemins, i and Odd sayings of Three Pilgrims. * * * In a letter from D. H. Smith, the j publisher, he acknowledges the fact that wide-spread publicity is not es sential to popularize Balzac stories but he does claim that his method of publishing and distributing is unique inasmuch "as he is able to dispose of an otherwise high-class and costly publication for the low sum of only thirty cents a volume and on this basis he desires his efforts to be made known among Negro readers and invites the cooperation of race book distributors. —Clifford C.
