is 1T TRUE?

We have been told that the
number of gambling houses al
legged to be run by Negroes in
Omaha is not nine, but at least
fourteen including South Oma-
ha, and that instead of there
being only six on North Twen-
ty-fourth street there are eight.
Again we ask, is this true?
A publication of the names of
these places and their propri-
etors might prove a startling
revelation. Pitiless publicity
may be necessary to close them.
Such places do our race no
good but a vast deal of harm.
So do the bootlegging joints of
which it is alleged that there
are at least fifty in the north
ern part of Omaha. We have
our own decided suspicious
about some of these places,
but not absolute knowledge or
proof. The onitor only
speaks positively when we have
facts that can be fully substan-
tiated. People who have posi-
tive knowledge of such places
not guesses or hearsay, but
knowledge, should give it to
the authorities; for seriously,
we as a race are already under
a heavy handicap in every COM
munity, without the added bur-
den and menace of gambling
dens, buffet flats and bootleg
ging joints. No sensible person,
even though he be the propri-
etor of such a place, will con-
tend that they are a help to
our race or of any real benefit
to the community.
Is it true that these condi-
lions obtain in our city?

WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY
Negro TO Succeed Madden

One effect of the death of Repre-.
sentative Martin B. Madden seems in
evitable. He will be succeeded in
congress by a Negro. Nothing wrong
in this, for the district is overwhelm-
ingly populated by Negroes, and it is
but natural that they will want to be
represented by one Of their own race,
now that the man they esteemed so
highly has passed. Election of a Ne
gro to congress from a great north
ern city will provide distinct con-
trast to the policy that prevails in the
south. Down there the Negroes are
in the majority in many districts, but
they are not allowed to express any
political choice at the polls. In Chi
cago it is different. Just as it is in
Omaha, where two districts largely
inhabited by colored voters are rep
resented in the legislature by Ne
groes. Political equality means one
thing in one part of the country and
something else in another. - The
Omaha Bee-News.

TWO FACTS TO CONSIDER

1t is gratifying to note that
increasing numbers of our stu
dents at Central High school
are winning and being awarded
honOrs. This shows two things !:
ID The fact that our youth,
as we have always commended,
have the ability, the same as
representatives of other racial
groups who attend our public
schools, to do outstanding work
and demonstrate scholarship,
initiative, character and lead
ership; and ~ The fact that
whenever they prove their
worthiness for any coveted
honor for which they compete
the school authorities, so far as
Central High is concerned, will
not withhold such honor when
fairly won.
knowledge of these facts
should stimulate our students
to always do their level best
and to enter willingly, cheer
fully and enthusiastically into
all school activities. This is the
ideal we have always tried to
keep before our youth. Some,
The monitor., 1928-05-11

and these not a few to whom
we have spoken, advanced the
idea that there was no use to
try because that even though
they did their best some sub
terfuge would be used to cheat
them out of it. We have never
encouraged this attitude be-
cause it generates an inferior
complex which palsies effort.
We have urged that it was a
duty to always do ones best,
let the results be what they
would and that the satisfaction
of honest, earnest, conscien-
tious hard work would be to
their advantage whether given
recognition or not.
Concrete illustrations like
those brought to our attention
lately of honors won by race
students should and doubtless
will act as an inspiration to
others. Central High has given
opportunity to race students TO
win commissions in the cadet
regiment, honors in athletics,
none barred, and in other
school activities, as well as in
scholarship, so there can be no
excuse for our students AFT Cen
