After Death
Immortality
Death brings every human being
face to face with thj greatest my
stiry known to man. It.is that which
doges all the scenes that be be-1
tween the morn’ of laughter and the
night of tears, and where ends the
faults, the truths, joy, grief, care
less shallow and tragic deeps of
earthly life. But why should dread
that which come to all that Is. You
do not know, you cannot realize
which is the greatest blessing. Life
or death. You can not say death Is
nc't better ,and those that believe
In Immortally know that the grave
Is not the end of your existence,
but that It Is a door way to anoher,
mure beautiful life and that the
nights of sadness here is the dawn
of your soul into1 a spiritual life.
No person has a right to say that
the future life of one passed out
is filled with pain or sorrow. “It Is
only Ignorance of what death real
ly is that causes anyoue to regard
It with dread and sorrow. Have you
ever stood by the bedside of a dying
friend just as the spirit was about
to leave the, body? A bright smile
seemed to appear upon the face of
the dying one He seems to realize
and know that they are going to
a better land. The old fear of eter
nal punishment fades away and
there seems to be greater insight
Into the spiritual and eternal life.
There Is still something warm and
familiar in those loved ones of ours
for whom we yearn that have pass
ed the change called death. They
are not coid and ghastly as they
seem at death. But human, sym
pathetic with familiar faces. They
are not lost to us on earth, but they
are just a little farther away. Man
needs not be afraid to die; for the
soul there is no death, only contin
uous life. We are living in an age
that the demonstrations of the. re
turn of spirit is a positive fact.
Those who have passed into the
spiritual world can and do return
to us at timjeis and we have know
ledge of their presence. All super
stition dread and fear of spirit
of the dead should be banished and
in their place should come that
sweet sacred feeling of love. For
this cause was the gospel preach
ed to those that are dead (I Peter,
fourth chaper 6th verse) To know
the truth and the truth shall make
you free.
Alone Were He And She
She is dead, they said to him,
come away; kiss her and leave her,
thy love is clay and they held their
breaths as they left he room. With
a shudder to glance at the stillness
and gloom but he who loved her
too well to dread, the sweet, the
stately, the beautiful dead. He lit
his lamp and took his key and turn
ed it.
Alone were He and She.

PLATFORM OF THE OMAHA GUIDE
Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God and the Brother
hood 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 emp!oyment in businesses to
which we give our patronage, such as grocery stores, laundries, furniture
stores, department stores and coal companies, in fact every concern which
we support. We must give our citizens the change to live respectably
We are tired of educating our children and permitting them to remain
economic slaves and enter into 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 Notrhwestern Bell Telephone company and
other establishments which we are forced to support by right of franchise.
Also our pro-rata of employment in return for the takes 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 here is in medical science from our doctors whom
we know to be nearest to us, also to encourage a high respect of them and
encourage more of our girls to take nurses training.
.4) An one hundred per cent deportment of our citizens in our
public or private places of business, especially on street cars . If we are to
be respected we must act respectably, especially in public places where we
are constantly before the public’s eye.
.5i A one hundred per cent membership in the Omaha branch of
the N. A. A. C. P. 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 N. A. A. C. P. All people of all races must be
educated up to a higher principle and a more thorough understanding of
inter-racial relationship 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, eliminating financial and per
sonal gain. A practical Christian religion, week days as well as Sunday.
An attitude toward our fellowman as a brother in order to establish a prin
ciple 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 enforce
ment 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, and, also, a first-class trust company for the
purpose of administering aid and assistance to our widows and children.
(9) To encourage he 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 Association that it
may supply sufficient dormitory accommodations.
(11) To teach our citizens to live economically within their earn
ing capacity by printing in each issue a budget 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 mak
ing the mistreatment of a wife or a husband by either of them a crimianl
offense to be decided by a jury, first offense, jail sentence of a short dura
tion, second offense one of longer duration, third of fence from one to five
years in the penitentiary. This, we believe, will make mer: and women
think before marrying.
(14) We must become owners of our city government by paying a
seemingly higher salary to those whom we employ to administer its af
fairs, a salary that will attract men of high caliber.
NATIONAL
(1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti Lynch bill and thus stop
the shameful lynching of American citizens.
(2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet.
(3) Federal control of the educational sysem that every child
must have a high school education.
(4) Assist in the furtherence of recearch by our scientists and His
torians 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 socalled white race that
it is high time for them to quit fooling themselves about white supremacy
with only three-tenths of this 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 the sun that blazes upon the equator and turn
the skin brown do not effect the power of the brain any more than the
coldness of icy glaciers effect the brain of the white race; and that the
darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad fed If the
Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man are not welded into the
hearts of this world’s famly now, by teaching the principles laid down by
our Saviour, it will be welded into the heart* of our children some dav
soon, on the bloodiest battlefield this world has ever known
