PLEADS FOR FAIR PLAY
AS MONUMENT TO NEGRO
SOLDIERS is UNVEILED

Chicago, nl.-(By the A. N. P.)-
A thirty-five thousand dollar memoir
ial monument to the 1877 members of
the 370th Infantry, who lost their
lives in the world war, was unveiled
and dedicated here recently while
the sun shone kindly and thousands
of persons gathered around gold star
mothers at Thirty-fifth and South
Parkway to attend the exercises in
connection with the dedication.
Hon. George T. Kersey, represen-
tative in the state legislature from
the Third district, who was the chief
sponsor of the bill for the monument,
paid appropriate credit to all those
who aided him in a short speech, in
Producing the chairman OF the mon
ument committee, the Hon. Edward
H. Wright, former member of the
Illinois Commerce Commission.
The dedicatory speech was made
by the Hon. Len Small, governor of
the state, who paid high tribute to
the valor in war and the service in
peace of the Negro.
State Senator Adelbert H. Roberts,
one of those who aided Mr.. Kersey
so much in his fight for the monu-
ment, made the chief address, paint
ing a vivid picture of the sacrifices
Negro soldiers and mothers had made
in the war that they might share the
benefits of peace. He declared that
it was travesty on the American
sense of justice that those who were
willing to die for their country in
war were not able to live as other
citizens in their country in peace.
Two of the regiments colonies,
Colonel John r. Marshall, the first,
and Colonel Otis B. Duncan, the pres
ent, spoke for the long line of illus
trious heroes which the regiment has
furnished from 1898 until the pres
ent day. Colonel Duncan accepted

THE REV. JOHN ALBERT
WILLIAMS RETIRES FROM
EDITORSHIP OF MONITOR
Veteran Editor and Pioneer Journal
list Retires From Field to De-
vote Time to Church
Work

After continuous service as found
er, editor and publisher of The Mont
tor for over fourteen years, the Rev.
John Albert Williams disposes of his
interests in that Colored weekly to
George H. w. Bullock, one time as
sociate, and sometime business man.
ages. For some time the editor has
found the dual service of publisher
and pastor drawing too heavily on his
mental and physical strength and has
for a long time determined to retire.
1t is for that particular reason that
he feels it to be imperative that he
relinquish the newspaper work and
devote his time exclusively to his
parish work of st. Philips church.
The new owner will take charge of
the paper with considerable expert
ence and training, having been asso-
ciated on The Monitor for several
years as business and advertising
manager. Mr.. Bullock is a college
graduate, and had two years of theo-
logical training for the Episcopal
ministry. He served in the army as
Y. M. C. A. executive, and later as
executive in charge of the Colored
work in the War Camp Community
service, in which capacity he came to
Omaha nine years ago. Many of his
articles have appeared in this paper
from time to time. He will assume
control and editorship with the first
issue in December which comes to
the readers Friday, December 7th.
