TOO DULL TO
APPRECIATE 1T

For a brilliant example of
trying to straddle an issue or
to eat crow we give the whole
bakery to our local race con-
temporary in its editorial of
last week on the terribly mud
died political waters" in the
Ninth and Tenth Districts, for
which in one district, it was
largely responsible. According
to the statement of C. C. Gal
loway, made to P. M. Harris,
he was responsible for DR.. Nc
Millan's filing in the Ninth,
and, according to the statement
of others, he was with DIR. Nc
MILAN when he filed.
Please note the tender, soul
stirring pathos in this admis-
sion: "The last minute filing
of three additional candidates
in the Ninth and Tenth Legis-
lative Districts has terribly
muddied the local political
waters, and the situation that
a few weeks ago appeared to
indicate smooth sailing to two
seats at Lincoln, is now beset
with uncertainty. The
Guide feels that every candi-
date in our own group should
be careful not to endanger the
chances of the race having a
representative at our capitol. !"
The sincerity of this last
statement must be judged in
the light Of the facts stated
above where candidate in
our own group" was induced to
file, by a representative of this

A CLEAR CUT ISSUE

The withdrawal late Satur-
day of Parker, the only
white candidate in the Ninth
Legislative District leaves the
contest squarely between DR..
John A. Singleton, the present
incumbent and DIR. Aaron M.
Mcmillan, who was induced to
file at the eleventh hour, as
The Monitor charged, and re-
peats the charge, not in good
faith but with questionable and
Interior motive, and refused to
withdraw despite the fact that
he knew with two contending
colored candidates in the field,
with a white opponent neither
one could win. The withdraw
al of Mr.. Parker leaves a fair
and open field between the two
Negro candidates, Singleton
and Mcmillan, and presents to
the voters clean cut and I'M
escapable issue which must be
definitely met and decided.
That issue is this: "Shall the
Negroes of this community Sc
lect their own leadership or
have it selected for them ?
Shall we jump at the crack of
some drivers whip like cring-
ing slaves or assert our man
hood? Are we to be mere pup
pets Of somebody's will or
whim, or are we free, intelli-
gent men and women, whose
rights and liberties are to be re-
spected?
This is the clear cut issue to
be decided in the Ninth District
April 10. The Monitor believes
that our people welcome the
opportunity to decide this vital
question and has no doubt of
the outcome.

We understand that contract

inserted that no colored play

contrary to the traditions of
Nebraska. Our respect for our

"In the Ninth District there

young doctors in the race; DIR.
Singleton, dentist, the present

both of them cannot be elected

al desires or personal hatred"
Great master minds have

GIVING AWAY OUR SHIPS

Senator Fletcher, of Florida, says that Coolidge is responsible for the shipping boards policy of yield ing to private interests" New York financiers, headed by L. R. Wilder, announced that it would submit an offer to buy all the gov ernment ships, except those on the Pacific. This would put Uncle Sam practically out of the shipping busi- ness. It is the Morgan interests that is, probably, backing the buy ing program. It has leaked out that Coolidge desires the House of Nor gan to get the vessels. He likely referred to this banking octopus when, in his message, he advocated the selling of the fleet without de- lay. It is conceded that the U. $. Senate would condemn the proposi- tion and Coolidge may force the shipping board to act and ratify the deal before Congress can act.
 Fletcher says that the Govern ment-owned fleet cost the American people $4,OOO,OOO,OOO and has been sacrificed by the Harding and Cool idge administrations. He says that fine ships have almost been given away. Private interests have been served, the public interests ignored. Seven of the finest steamers afoat were sold for $4,5O0,O0O The gov ernment paid $3O,OOO,OOO for the same vessels And the purchasers have five years to pay in Coolidge doesn't need to talk. Actions speak louder than words.

 This was the system in which the operators made all the money and the government stood all the lossea. Very nice, indeed, for the plunder bund. Where the government boats were properly handled, they made money. Instance the Panama Line coming out ahead last year $7O0, 900.
