At its conclusion he introduced his bill to amend the 14th Amendment to the Constitution in that Negroes who are not given fair trials in southern states, be transferred to another where color is not a dis advantage. Of course this resolution has about as much chance of passing as that proverbal snowball, but Mr. De Priest calls attention to gross injustice suffered by a min ority group, and it will have its effect, though they re ject his measures, they respect a courageous foeman, who beards them in their lair. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER There seems to have been a certain amount of mis understanding of the action of the life insurance industry and Governor Bryan, in abrogating, for a time, the bor rowing and cash value privileges of policies. This was not done to deprive any policyholder of his rights. Nor was it done because the life insurance industry was wobbly. It was done in the interest of every citizen, every property owner, every wage earner, wheth er or not he owns a life ins’nce policy. It was done to save < the country from dropping to a new level of depression. Life insurance has more than adequate resources. These resources are in the form of government bonds, mortgages on real estate, securities of our fundamental and best established industries. Life insurance could turn them into cash by throwing them on the market—and it i;-n‘t hard to imagine the result. Panic, more unemploy ment, more distress—these things wrould inevitably follow. So Gov. Bryan temporarily suspend the cash value an borrowing clauses in the contracts. It was a w7isfe move. The life insurance industry as a w7hole, is sound and fully capable of meeting its obligations. And remember that wThile charity is good, jobs and investments and productive work are essential to create jprofit^^roir^j^liij^^^dis^gensabLe^haritie^are^upgorted. Mt, Moriah Baptist Church F. P.

Wednesday night is a special evangelist round up, at this time groups, classes and individuals re ports are made and closing with a sermon by the pastor. We. rejoice to see that Mt. Moriah is returning to the Old Land mark. All are beginn ing to realize that the salvation of man kind is the biggest task of the Church and as a result we are able to meet our bills in a reasonable way. You are invited to come and exper ience the old time Holy Ghost in this new enlightened day. The Pastor has a message for you and the choir a jsong for your souls. Bring one with you.

CHURCH HONORS MINISTERS One of the most spectacular and beautiful events of the season was .elebrated last Thursday evening at the Bethel Baptist Church, 29th and r Sts., when the church honored Rev J. H. Jackson and Rev. S. D. Rhone, recent M. A. graduates of Creighton University at a banquet, rhe honored guests were greeted and congratulated by their many friends in the auditorium of the church. Af ter which the entire group went into the dining room that had been very attractively decorated. Palms and .lusters of roses were in every avail able space, which made a unique back ground for the beautiful gowns of silk, organdie and chiffon worn by -he ladies; while the men were their fitting rivals in their full dress and :vening suits. A delicious menu was served at the aanquet table and a delightful pro. , 'ram was enjoyed. Misses Willa Hay. -s and Addie Foxall entertained most aleasingly on the piano during the linner hour.

As we tarried, we were l blessed. Rev. Jas. H. Dotson, Presi ’ dent presided., Rev. N. C. Cannon, Secretary. EXERCISE YOUR BRAINS ON THIS COLUMN! IT IS HERE AGAIN! R. C. Price, squealing like a pig under the fence. Policy kings, do you get that? Well, I’ll say it again, Pol icy kings, not king, but kings. Policy kings, better get to R. C. Price quick and help get them razor strops ring ing and them pool cues whistling and them pop tops busting and them 2 for 5 John Woods’ specials whizzing a cross the counter If you don’t, Mr. Policy King, Mr. R. C. Price might make peasants out of you soon. Police department waiting to in crease their delivery service. Equip ment not adequate to take care of the situation at the present time. If they would attempt to get all the pol icy kings, all policy writers and pol icy players. Yes we said players. They are equally guilty as the policy kings and the writers that are in the racket now. Somebody said they would have to have three times the present equipment.—A Suscriber. BOY! BOY! WE’RE OFF We have employed our attorney to look out after us if we are arrested and our attorney is the big “I am” in the big political ring, and the word ‘go’ is supposed to have been given to the policy kings by the -new female political boss, who is supposed to be next to the “I am’s”. One policy wheel operator is said to be posing | as a very close boyhood friend of one of the new commissioners. EVERYBODY IS A MILLIONAIRE NOW In this U. S. we have 120,000.000 men, women and children and con gress has appropriated $11,648,794 874.93 or there bout. Well, mess that up in your brains with the 120,000, 000 American citizens and see if you all aren’t millionaires now. What a President we have and is he think ing of the forgotten man? The forgotten man just can’t lose now. The Farm inflation bill says you can’t lose your farm. The Two Billion Dollar Home Loan Bill says you can’t lose your home. The Morat orium Insurance Act says you can’t lose your insurance. The Legal Money lender Act puts the value in your real estate that heretofore, has been considered only in gold. The Deposit Guarantee Act says you can’t lose your cash even if it is in a bank. And if you’ve got a job you can’t lose your old lady and of course, nobody wants the children. At last, the sanctity of the Amer ican home is pretty well secured on the value therein now instead of the gold on Wall St. What a President we now have. Where has he been? God Lord, let him live and enjoy good health and keep the good work going. Off The Gold Standard $ 500,000,000 300.000. 000 2,000,000.000 3,600,000,000 500.000. 000 and again total $6,900,000,000 Well, this looks like we are off the gold standard and on legal tender standard. Some five years ago, Sen. Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin in troduced a resolution in Congress for $500,000,000 for a working program. About three years ago. W. R. Hearst caught the fever and began to spread the propaganda. He said $500,000,000. Somewhere down in New York state there was a citizen that just took in and said nothing, he waited for an opportunity to have his say and today he has made LaFoll ette and Hearst look like pikers, by putting on the statutes of Congress laws that will permit the flow of $6, 900.000,000 all for the forgotten man, and incidentally this is just a loan to the poor working man. Por Mahatma Ghandi without any thing to eat but oranges and just a sheet to wrap around his waist and on the account of his color is consid ered an outcast, has been called on by Great Britain to furnish the silver to I pay the world war debt to the Amer. I ican government. B?gium, we suppose, will start to 1 cutting off legs, arms and fingers of the poor Congo tribes or they will go by defaulting, I suppose, like poor China on the streets of Shanghai are prevented from passing on their own streets by military policemen, while other nations rob their hidden treas ures. Washington’s forecast that 4 million idle men will be put to work by Oct. ober 1st on the new liquidating public works program. This means that two million men will be put to work furn ishing the food and clothing for these men to wear an consume. This means that a million more men will be put to work furnishing the material for these men to use. President Green said there were 12 million men idle now. Roosevelt said that these were the forgotten men and if the American public would e lect him as president and give him a working Congress that by 1934 he would give them employment. Presi dent Green of the Federation of La bor said we had 12 million; Roosevelt coming in ahead of his program, put 7 million men to work by October 1st. Looks like we ought to be able to take care, in god shape, the unemployed situation for the winter for if 6 or 7 j million men receive a living wage, i they in turn, in all possibility, will employ another million. A BRAND NEW BAND A brand ew band. Mills’ Musical Playboys, follows Duke Ellington into the Cotton Club in Harlem and takes over the Duke’s three NBC periods weekly now that Ellington is London bound. Organized by Irving Mills, who discovered and manages both Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway, these insta-umental gentlemen from Harlem specialize in both sweet syn copation and red hot-rhythmns, and their broadcasts will range from the tender “Smoke Rings” to “The Growl’ a jungle jangle. PETITION AGAINST BISHOP HEARD SENT TO BISHOPS’ COUNCIL Newark, N. J. (CNS) A petition headed “An Appeal for Relief” and urging the removal of the Rt. Rev. William H. Heard, bishop of the first Episcopal district of the AME. church has been sent to the Bishops’ Council by a committee of the St. James AME. Church of this city. The peti tion declares that Bishop Heard, 83 years of age is “incapable of admin istering the affairs of the church in a manner compatible with the dignity of same nor to the best interests of the church.” and then goes to item ize other “irregularities” which in the opinion of St. James Church render him unfit to further administer the affairs of the first district. Special emphasis is placed on the mob scenes and physical combats which have resulted from the major ity of conferences held by the bishop this year. One of the most violent of these mob scenes was enacted in Bethel Church, New York City, on May 28, when the official narrowly escaped serious injury from an in furiated congregation when he trans ferred the Rev. E. A. Clark, Bethel pastor, to the New England Confer ence. The petition states that “a contin uance of Bishop Heard’s administra tion will be disastrous for the entire district which includes the New York New Jersey. Philadelphia, New Eng land, and Delaware Conferences, and St. James Church in particular. A long list of “irregularities” charg ed against the Bishop are set forth in detail, and prompt action is request ed. __ 1 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 «ry 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 pay in our city, county state and federal government. (3) To encourage the establishment of a first class I hospital that we may get the best that there is in medical i science from our doctors whom we know to be nearest us, j 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 I 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 and not in part. (6) The re-establishment of 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 8 principle which will guide the destiny of each other’i 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, 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. (14) We must become owners of the city govern ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom 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.
