Others initiated the example.
 The dairy farmer is Plutareo Elias Gales. Likewise he IS edu- cator, social idealist and reform CT, military strategist, president of Mexico. After December 1 he expects to be dairy farmer and former president
 One of the things he is proud est Of is that as a result of his demonstration 30 tractors are working in a little section where none were known before. Upon a small scale it is what he wants to see al over Mexico.
 That farm and tractor are his foremost joys. He is never so happy as when at daylight in oyeralls he is out in his fields running his tractor himself. He is at this job several mornings weekly as the snow crest Of Pre- pocatepetl and the mountain peaks cncircling the Mexican plateau are crimson in the dawn. After several hours of hard physical labor at the farm he shifts from overalls to business or formal dress. depending upon his engagements, and motors to the national palace to put .n a full day at his other job of being President.
 Officially his foremost efforts are given to establishing agricul tural schools and rural credit banks, developing the educational system generally, having high ways and irrigation projects built Improved conditions for the masses sums up his domin- ating objective in office. Opinion

BEST WISHES, "MET."

We have noted with pleas
ure that our warm personal
friend of nearly forty years of
YER deepening friendship,
Richard L. Metcalfe, MET, as
he is Familiarity called, has
been drafted, yes, that's the
proper word to use, by hun
dreds of friends and admirers
who signed his petition - to
seek the nomination on the
democratic ticket for United
States senator from Nebraska
at the April primary.
We venture the prophecy
that he will not only seek but
find the nomination when the
returns from the primary are
in. And in our humble judg-
ment, in the event of his NOM
ination and election, which is
by no means an impossibility
even in republican Nebraska,
Richard Metcalfe will honor
the senatorial toga, by serving
conscientiously the highest and
best interests of all the people.
MET is built that way.
He is a man of decided intel
lectual ability and culture !;
idealistic, some call him, yet
practical; a trained journalist,
he has grasp and understand
ing of public affairs which such
career gives, and then, too,
he has rendered valuable pub
lie service to his country. How
ever, what we prize most high
ly in him is his warm-hearted-
ness, his keen sense of justice,
and his broad sympathy for all
mankind. These are the traits

LEST WE FORGET

Lest we forget that black man who
graduated from West Point and rose
to the rank of colonel in the regular
army who did not become a general
only because of the prejudice of the
Americans whose government he serv-
ed to the bitter end Lest we forget
that man who overcame prejudice be-
cause he would not let prejudice over
come him, whose soul was invincible;
that brave man, who to show his sol
diers that a horse would not trample
them if fallen, threw himself on the
ground in front of his troop and per-
mitted half a hundred charging horses
to pass over his PROSTATE form. That
man who in the Philippine insurrec-
ton led his men during a terrific
tropical storm, wading a river, clothes
tied in bundle on his head, revolver
held high, through hail of bullets
from both banks to the rescue of 9TH
er troops with food supply and am
munition. Lest we forget that man,
who during the world war, when or
dered into retirement for alleged ply
steal disability flung himself into his
saddle and rode from Xenia, Ohio, to
Washington sick man - while
thirty-seven officers junior to him on
the active list were promoted to the
rank of general officers. Young was
then placed back on active duty. Lest
we forget that the authentic military
map of Haiti is the work Of his hands.
Lest we forget the strains of sweetest
music which he could extract from so
many varied instruments. Lest we
forget his shining example of per-
severance under persecution while at
West Point and throughout his bitter
career. Lest we forget his spirit Of
uplift as shown by his aiding needy
students while stationed at WILDER
force. Lest we forget his scholar
ship which enabled him to converse
SO freely with foreign visitors in the
Texas camp to the chagrin of many
there present. Lest we forget his
manhood - which never faltered.
Lest we forget Colonel Charles

hold memorial services on the Sun
day preceding or following March IL,
the anniversary of his birth-Reprint-

mo" SAYS TELEPHONE
COMPANY

The committee from the
Ministerial Alliance which re-
Gently waited upon the North
western Bell Telephone COM
pany, respectfully requesting
them to give employment to
some of our young people as
operatives or in some like ca
pacity were given their answer
Thursday morning. The an
swer is d positive refusal to do
anything of the kind, so we
have been informed. This cat
egorical negative was not what
the committee expected. 1t
had hoped that the officials of
the company would have found
some middle ground, at least,
upon which this reasonable re-
quest for employment could
have been granted. The bru-
tally blunt refusal and appar-
ent disposition to give our peo-
pie no consideration in the
premises was not anticipated.
There is no fairness or JUS
tice in the attitude of the Tele-
phone company into whose cof-
fers our group in the city pays
many thousands of dollars
yearly. We deserve better
things at the hands of this COM
pany. AS little as they think
about it, and as incredible as
may now appear, the day may
come when even the powerful
Telephone company will need
our services which they now
seem to scorn.
An appeal to their sense of
economic fairness and right
seems futile. Would an appeal
to their pocketbook prove more
effectual? Possibly so.
Despite the tremendous in
convenience it would entail,
we wonder if there could be
found among the several thou
sand telephone subscribers in
our city 500 or 1000 of our
people who would be willing
to make the sacrifice the ext
gency of the case seems to de-
mand? We simply ask the
question. Think about it.

know, amply able to pay for a

THE REAL NEW NEGRO"

According to Prof. Melville j.
Herskovits (white), professor of an
thropology at Northwestern univer-
sity, the real "new Negro" is a ply
steal reality rather than being mere
ly possessing new mental aspects and
ambitions; for, says Prof. Herskovits,
$50 per cent of the American Ne
groes are mixtures of white, Ameri-
can Indian and original Negro stock.
My studies have shown that between
one-third and one-fourth of the Ne
groes measured have American Indi-
an ancestry in addition r the we'll

have white heritage" said the anthro-

from this mixture, white, negroid,
and mongoloid, three widely diver
gent bloods, there is being welded
and is already discernible a different
physical type which may be called the
American Negro. The American Ne
gro has found himself black man in
a white culture, and has consequently
sought to adjust himself as best he
can," concluded Prof. Herskovits.

CLARA BOW SHOWS HOW TO
TEST SWEETIE IN "HULA"

Here's new way to test the love
of your sweetie. First, offer him a
gift. Second, be sure he refuses to
accept it. Third, mount your horse.
Fourth, ride wildly to the edge of a
cliff. Fifth, jump-and then-well
the rest shouldn't be hard to imag-
inc.
That's what irrepressible Clara
Bow does in her latest Paramount
production "Hula" which reaches
the New Plaza Theatre next week.
Give Brook, a young English engi-
neer, acts coldly toward the daugh-
ter of his employer, an Hawaiian
plantation owner. She loves him and
realizes that he loves her but he re-
fuses to show it-so Clara does her
stuff-and the fun begins!
"Hula" was directed by the same
man who made "Mantrap" and "The
Way of All Flesh" Victor Fleming.
