(For advice write to Maxie Miller, care Literary Service Bureau, 516 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. For personal reply, send post age.) Maxie Miller: I have a most ser ious problem. My daughter 24 has been married, is divorced and lives with us- She apd her father are such pals that they are always hugging and kissing; she sits on his laps; and worse than that they sleep together This girl can get money from my husband when he refuses me. They don’t try to hide whatt they do and she even teases me. My husband just says “You are too jealous for any pse.” He makes the living, and 11 don’t want to break up our home, but I just can’t stand this much longer. I am sad and constantly worried. I need your advice- What should I do ? Good Wife Good Wife: You are indeed a good wife to stand what you do. And if you continue to stand it you are j too “doggone good-" Daughter or no daughter, I'd end that situation. I’d read the riot act to both of these im-1 posers, and I’d make that girl skip. Your daughter, but she is forfeiting j all claims to your consideration. It looks like the “Eodipus Complex," and it is a thing you should not be, expected to endure. He won’t break up, and if so better that than to suf- j fer that to go on- M- M. “I DID NOT KNOW” By R. A., Adams (For The Literary Service Bureau) “I did not know,” is poor excuse Of which in weakness to make u?e, Mistakes to hide, when one must ovn 3e could have, and he should have , known! ;‘I did not know,” ’tis vain to plead, When tender hi arts are rjfade t bleed, To suffer pain and anguish great, Because of folly consumate. ■ “I dis not know,” Weak alibi -s this, when one fain would deny For cruel hurt, and injury, ihe full responsibility. “I not know,” cannot avail 10 exculpate, when one has failed Deeds of nobility to do, '■Jr path of duty to pursue. t (’losing his eyes against the light, Pursuing wrong, instead of right, When guilt life’s balance-sheet shali show, Sin one should whine, “I did not know!” 1 SEEING WHITE By A. B- Mann (For The Literary Service Bureau) Often, in the south especially, col ored people have occasion to laugh at white people who ask them,” Are you white, or colored-” In a number of cases conductors have compelled colored people to ride in the “white coaches, because they did not know to which race they belonged. Many colored people ride in Pullman cars, eat in hotel dining rooms and asso ciate with white people without be j traying iheir race identity. In Miss issippi a conductor compelled a color ed woman to go into the “white coach.” He was very courteous to her during her trip. Then, he was ter ribly chagrinned when she was met at her destination by a woman un mistakably colored, and the two wo men kissed and embraced. It is known that information concerning lynchings and other crimes against colored people is secured by these white-black folk who can “pass” for white without detection. And so the story runs—rather so the hellish pre judice runs. (To be continued). Dr. Lennox Dr. Homer W. Anderson Supt. of Schools, City Hall, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Dr. Anderson: From observation considerable l changes have been made in our pub lic school system, and we are again writing you regarding this situation, knowing several Colored applications were on file, but did not receive con sideration. We are entitled to some employment, and if at this time lack of funds prevents the board of educa tion from giving us our pro rata, a minimum number could have been I employed until the full amount can be given. We help to elect t!?e members ol the board of education, and are sup , porters of. all taxat.ons, paying 2 I higher rate on the average and in proportion than any other district ir the city. Paying from 75'1 to 80% when other districts pay only 25 tc 5071 and even less- These commun ities are more desirable and can be easily kept so due to the favorable consideration received, taking intc l consideration less employment anc less taxes to pay, th-re is nothing tc prevent them from being otherwise ‘ Realizing where there is intelli gence a more mutual understanding can be had, and we are sure if yoi I will fully look into this situatior consideration will be manifested. I every one possessed this ability an; a willingness to be fair to all, then would »be no confusion clue to nation 1 ality when seeking positions, espec ially those to which we a: a fully en titled. You are possessed with a high de gree, but perhaps do not understanc all races, and are not judging those who have received superior accom plishments, automatically placing them in a class of recognition, anc are sure you realize there are an; 5 number in this group fully trained tc teach We are asking that you kindl: bring the above situation to the at tention of the school board at the earliest date possible. I should like to be present at the next meeting and if I am not asking too much o: you, I shall appreciate your informing me the date and hour of same. Thanking you very much, I am Respectfully yours, Dr. G- B- Lennox I From Board of Education Superintendent of Schools Dr. G. B- Lennox 2122 M- North 24th Street Omaha, Nebraska. My dear Dr. Lennox: I have your letter of June 8th- May I say that we are employing no new teachers for the coming year- We have at the present time a number of our regularly elected teachers who are not assigned The basis on which you claim, the right to employment in the Omaha schools is erroneous. The only basis on which teachers can be hired in the Omaha schools is the welfare of the children to be served in the schools. It is not proportionate population, proportionate taxes, or participation in the election of the members of the Board. It is strictty as I have said, the welfare of the boys and girls. ers again that shall be the only con-. Whenever we will be electing teach sideration in my recommendations to ( the Board of Education- We do noti hire teachers of German, Scanda navian, or Irish descent because they represent a certain proportion of the population in Omaha or because they pay a certain proportion of the taxes If a colored teacher is ever employed in Omaha it will be on the grounds that that teacher is the best one ' available for the vacancy which may exist. That is exactly the same as would apply to any other nationality Thee Board of Education meets next Monday, June 19th, at 8:00 p. m and I am sure would be glad to give you a hearing. Yours sincerely, Homer W- Anderson Superintendent of Schools TENNESSEE MINISTERS BACK COSTIGAN ANTI LYNCH BILL — Nashville Ministerial Alliance Calls Special Session to Consider Measure—Votes Overwhelm ing Approval. Nashville, Term., Feb- 1—The Min isterial Alliance, composed of the white ministers of this city, met in special session here Monday for con sideration of the Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching bill, and by a large majrity gave their endorsement to the measure and wired their action to Washington. The Alliance had or dered the special meeting for the specific purpose of considering this bill and copies of the measure had been sent to every minister a week in advance. Following a motiton for approval of thee bill by Dr- Howard I- Kerr of the Hillsboro Presbyterian Church, the measure was discussed at length. A motion to table received only two votes, and approval of the measure was then adopted overwhelmingly, with only four votes against it- The secretary of the meeting was in structed to send a report of the re sult to Senators Costigan and Wag ner and to President Roosevelt The meeting was well attended and representative. The opinion was ex pressed that had the membership j been present one hundred per cent, | the result of the vote would have been substantially the same. i NEW WAR ON LYNCH ING MARKS N. A. A. C. P. BIRTHDAY NEW YORK, February 6—-A new ! war on lynching, signalized by a 1' campaign for the passage of the Cos • tigan-Wagner federal anti-lynching ' bill, will mark the twenty fifth birth 1 day of the National Association foi the Advancement of Colored People ’ February 12. “The N- A. A. C. P. has been in the ' forefront of the fight for the last quarter century to make, the Eman cipation proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln a real document \ Lincoln’s birthday will have this year double significance to milions of col | ored people because it offers not only a chance to pay homage to the great Emancipator, but to launch a second quarter century of organized effort i to secure all the rights as citizens ! which Lincoln intended they should I have,” declared Walter White, N- A I A. C. P. secretary, in an anniversary I statement. Lincoln’s birthday and the N- A. A C- P. anniversary will be observed by the 378 branches of the association in mass meetings and dinners all over the country in which the past history of the association will be reviewed and public opinion will be aroused in support of the anti-lynching bill. : Hearings on the measure will be be | gun by a sub-committee of the sen | ate on February 15. I he N. A. A. C- P. idea was bom in 1909 as a result of the indignation of William English Walling, South ern writer and lecturer, over the ter rible race riot in 1908 in Springfield, Illinois, the home town of Lincoln Mr. Walling is still a member of the I board of directors. He, Miss Mary White Ovington and Dr. Henry Mos kowitz induced Oswald Garrison Vil lard to write an official call to all persons interested in forming a mili tant organization to secure full rights for colored people- The call declared: “If Mr- Lincoln could revisit the country in the flesh he would be dis heartened and discouraged-” After reviewing the plight of the Negro, the call continued: “Silence under these conditions means tacit approval “The celebration of the centennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, widespread, grateful as it may be, will fail to justify itself if it takes no note of and makes no recognition of the colored men and women for whom the Great Emancipator labor ed to assure freedom . . . “Hence we call upon all the be lievers in democracy to join in a nat ional conference for the discussion of present evils, the voicing of protests, and the renewal of the struggle for civil and political liberty.” Among the signers of the original - call were Jane Addams, Rev. Francis J. Grimke, Samuel Bowles, Ida Wells Barnett, Dr- W. E- B- DuBois. Dr. John Dewey, William Dean Howells, John E- Milholland, Rev. John Hay ! nes Holmes, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Bishop Alexander Walters. Lillian D. Wald, President Mary E. Woolley of Mt- Holyoke College, Dr- John L. Elliott. Florence Kelley, Mary Mc Dowell, Charles Edward Russell and others. The New York celebration of the | anniversary will be postponed until March 18 because of the heavy de mands made upon the national office staff by branches elsewhere in the ■ nation around February 12. I The anniversary will be observed throughout the year by the campaign for a penny for every Negro in the United States as an anniversary fund.

The plan provides that needy stud ents shall be given jobs by the edu cational institutions and be paid from $10 to $20 a month from Government relief funds. The coleges to waive all tuition, registration and other fees. It is estimated that Washington institutions will be asked to care for about 1,000 students. Each college will be asked to accept students up to 10 per cent of their present enroll ment. It is estimated the arrange- j ment would cost the Government ap-1 proximately 7,000.000 and at the same time reduce considerably the funds of the individual institutions already heavily handicapped. The plan provides that three fourths of the selected students will be students who otherwise would be compelled to drop out of college and the remainder students who other wise would be unable to enter Howard University would under the scheme lose the tuitions, regis tration and other fees of at least 160 students.
