Writes
Serious problem—looks like eodi
pus complex—S'issie loves Daddy s>jid
Mom is jealous—girl sits on father’s
lap—worse she sleeps with Daddy—
Mom should raise the Devil and end
it or make teasing daughter “take up
her bed and walk.” DO IT, MOM!
(For advice write to Maxie Miller,

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!”

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. Homer W. Anderson
Supt. of Schools,

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,

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.

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.

STUDENTS AT HOWARD TO BE
HELPED BY FEDERAL RELIEF
ADMINISTRATION
WASHINGTON, February 6—(CN
j S)—One hundred thousand college
j and university students are to be
helped financially by the Govern
ment during the present semester,
according to a plan just announced
by the Federal Relief Administra
tion.
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.
