Achievement

In his extremely valuable book en-
titled NAVAL Consulting Board u the
United States" Government Printing
Offics. Washington) Lloyd n. SCOTT.
formerly a captain in the army and
liaison officer to the board. has written
a work whose text covers q wider
ground than the title implies. For
after describing in complete detail the
under Thomas A. Edison as president,
he gives a complete story Of the pre-
paredness movement among the people
and in the industries before we en-
tered the war. As for the work of the
board itself. with it's many ramifica-
tons, this volume Of Mt. Scott's will
remain the standard reference book in
it's field for all time. He aimed at one
thing only. completeness. And this he
has achieved to the full.
The story told in these pages Is
chiefly that of civilian effort toward
helping "the rigid organization of the
navy" to be free to help itself install
new devices that the very nature of its
organization and its legal financial
obligations made almost impossible. In
a preface to the book Secretary Daniels
Acknowledges this aid when he writes
ut would have been impossible for the
navy to have carried on its efficient
part In winning the world war with
out the intelligent and patriotic con-
tribution Of civilian thinkers and
workers as well as civilians who en-.
listed in every department of naval
effort. Foremost among these civilian
patriots stand the members Of the
Naval Consulting Board"
Just what they did and how they die
It Mr.. Scott tells in his chapters on the
origin ana organization of the board
how the industrial preparedness cam

situation was handled, and how tn,
various committees worked and wha

Over 1000 People Register Inde-
pendent Protest Against the
Old Crowd.

Major Jackson was reelected al
derman for the Second Ward. In
view of the fact that he was incumb-
ent and in the light of the infancy of
the new organization which fostered
his opponent Mr.. Westbrooks, every
one is startled and amazed at wonder
full showing made by the youthful
candidate. Westbrook is proud.
Westbrook states that: He is proud
of his showing and grateful to those
who would fit the aldermanic mantle
around his sturdy shoulders. He also
states that the fight has just begun
and that 1000 votes corraled in two
months, will be 6 thousand votes in
year. Louis Anderson, the other
old crowd alderman sees the hand
writing on the wall, for the new
negroes will vote for him next year il
money, propaganda and intelligence
will carry the truth to the masses of
the race.

Shreveport, La. Feb. Goth. What
is considered an unprecedented YER
dict was returned here today by a
picked jury in the case of Henry Lee,
VS. Walter P. Hines, director General
of the U. S. Railway one hour and
twenty minutes.
The suit was originally brought for
$26.0S3 but the award was $S0S3.
Lee was kicked off Freight Train
some months ago and his leg crushed
under the wheels, neecssated amputa-
tion.
The fact that verdect was re.
turned by jury of White men, and
in so short time seemed rather asto-
nishing on the face of it, but close
study will reveal some interesting
facts. The sentiment against the rail
road administration and particular a.
gainst the government has boon
strong in this part of the country
for some time, and there is reason for
believing that the action of the jury
is a covered slap at thu Government.
Council for the Government immcdia-
tely upon the return of the verdict
filed a suit for a new trial.

Gently wrote most flattering criticism
of the music to Dunbar's "Ships That
Pass in the Night composed by
Prof. Gerald G. Tyler, director OF
music at Summer High school, st

criticism was the singing of this song
along with those of other composers

been accepted by an Eastern publish
er, they being songs for children based
on the "Mother Goose Rhymes" with

Girls Safer In Africa

Missionaries have no fear OF
Native Blacks.

The Monitor, Omnha, Nrb., printed
in last weeks issue IA report IN address
made by Miss Jcnnctlc Miller to the
churches of Omaha on her Missionary
work in Africa. In the course OF her
talk Miss Miller mentioned scNcsil
facts of interest.
Miss Miller's whole attitade, we
gather was one of a unexampled
friendship for the African Natives
She stated that the black man 5 crime
had been taught them by the white
man and that except when contamine-
ted by conta.t t with them tin this in
stance the Portugese) the natives
were the model of virtue, the finest
expression of ethics of Christianity.
Miss Miller stated that &" the morals
of the Black men, except at festivals
in connection with funerals and wedd-
ings is faulless until the wicked
Portuguese began to teach them their
white man : way. She stated further
that" an unprotected girl is safer ii
the wilds of Africa than she is right
here in Omaha
Miss Miller related an experience
she had with some cannibals when
after having lost her way she said,
eve were reated with the utmost
courtesy food and huts in which 10
sleep were giv,l MS and we were di-
3 reeted back to our trails. -
Miss Miller closed her adress with
I the statement that the African Native
was the most polite person in the
world, exceeding ever the subtle
Japanees in his suayiiy.

Why Colored
Workers Are Gen.
orally Anti-Union
BY Andrew Holmes, Secy'-Treasurer
of Local Union No. 20.
Affiliated with tho Stockyards Labor
Council.
Continued from last issue)

~. Because of no belief in abil-
ity of self and fellow workers to main
tain Constructive Organization.
We are admitting that among no
other group as the colored wage-earn-
ers, does so great a sentiment exist
Of lack Of ability in self to combat
the problems incident to every day
life. They seemingly prefer to re-
gard the established order of things
as inevitably arranged. For example,
they prefer going on to job accept
ing conditions as they find them, and
leaving individually when they prove
intolerable rather than taking hama
collectively in the correction of the
existing evils, or IN the retention of
any favorable points Of which tie
workers may already be in posse
sion. When admonished about this
attitude they usually admit feel
ing of utter inability to effectually
aid themselves, and a fear of the
consequences of attempting to do the
same.
While there are exceptions to the
rule we believe that much resent
mcnt against and contempt for the
colored workers by other groups
would have less reasonable cause for
being fostered, and as it is in extreme
instances, asserted, but for this at
titude the colored workers must be-
come more assertive of their rights
in every reasonable and intelligent
manner and must train in tactics of
concerted action that their assertions
may be more effective. Dissention
promotes weakness which, in turn,
is conductive to resentment, scorn
and contempt. These things assert
themselves in practices of discrimi-
nation, of segregation and kindred
evils portraying consciousness of
inequality. While we are aware that
much prejudice exists without pro-
vocation, we contend that the col
ored workers in their daily deport-
ment in their various spheres of ac-

Misers Dig Up
Buried Currency

Tulsa, Okla.--Publication of sto-
ries about misers and hoarders of
money being robbed, mistreated, and
slain in numerous cities of the coun-
try has given the local banks "A new
job lately--that of condemning cer-
tain mildewed and moss covered bills
that have been buried"
Teller C. l.. Skinner OF the First
National bank says that he has had
much experience in banks and krows
something about the peculiarities of
people and has been skeptical of sto-
ries of buried money. That is, until
recently.
AN old colored man of Sand
Springs brought $1,000 in currency
to him to deposit. 81 had it buried"
he explained, "but l have been read
ing about so many people who kept
their money cached away being
robbed that ! lowed il would be
safer in bank. What does it cost
to keep it here?"
The currency was in bills of every
denomination, all jumbled together
but he knew to the cent just what he
had In addition he had sack full
of silver coins that were black and
mildewed from being under the
ground so long.
Other bankers report similar occur
rences of late.
