were: John F. Cashen and Leo F.
Brunhilde Binga's lawyers who got
$4,000 for their services to the
bankruptcy estate.
"Mr. Binga is a bankrupt by his
own acts and the fact that he could
not pay a 100000 balance due on
coal bills to heat these very anne
properties show that these proper
ties under Mr.. Binga's management
did not yield enough evidently to pay
for the coal which they consumed.
Mr.. Binga was obviously insolvent
several years prior to December 1880
when he was adjudicated a bankrupt.
It must be remembered that all Of
he property owned by Jesse Binga
was deprecated obsolescent buildings
which are now beyond repair and
which entail large and excessive
maintenance costs as his manage
ment Of his own property obviously
shows. Again in respect to fees Os-
car DePriest the Trustee in Bank
-uptcy has taken no fees and has
been allowed no fees up to date. Mr..
Binga should know that all checks
drawn by the Trustee in Bankruptcy
have to be countersigned by the Re-
fierce in Bankruptcy and that Oscar
DePriest Trustee could hardly take
any money from the bankruptcy es-
tate unless it was allowed by the
Referee. Mr.. Binga's statements r
vague untrue and apparently deliber-
ately misleading and deserve careful
analysis by the casual reader and by
persons who are unfamiliar with the
administration of estates in bankrup-
toy in the Federal Courts"

OPEN LETTER
SIR:
October "a, 1888.

l am writing you this open letter that you may be
fully informed that we are about to put over the greatest
circulation campaign that has ever been launched in the
city of Omaha. AS one who has only recently arrived in
your city, allow me ts frankly discuss with you some of
the reasons why as circulating editor, I am asking for
and expect your support in putting over this drive for
circulation.
~First-That in every city in which two thousand
or more Negroes live, it is essential that they have a news
paper in which their church, social and other activities
may be reported, and Also wage a consistent battle for
any encroachment on their rights, civic, industrial and
political. Second, permit me to call your attention to the
fact that a newspaper is a public enterprise as we'll as a
racial necessity, and should not be viewed or held in the
same light as business of other kinds, such as drug stores,
grocery or other business of that nature. This is true of
newspapers, because of the fact that all of it's pages are
devoted to the printing of news for which no charges
are made except the space devoted to advertisement. By
this you must see and know how important it is that the
circulation should be maintained at a certain standard,
making it possible to continue publishing your social,
church and other activities.
Since coming to your city and connecting with the
Omaha Guide, | have been repeatedly warned of the folly
of trying to do the impossible-Revive the Omaha Guide.
The Omaha Guide does not need reviving. It only needs the
support of those who use its pages and columns In which
to report their church and social news. 1t is not enough
that you subscribe for or buy the Guide, but for the serv-
ice rendered should be a Omaha Guide Booster. The
Guide needs Boosters with a big letter, and you need
boosters. That has been our greatest trouble, we have had
too much knocking and most OF US have did too much
knocking one or the other. Our Race hos had too much
knocking from without and from within. Let US resolve
to bury the hammer-handle and all, let's us enlarge on
one anothers virtues and help to cure each others vices
Remember, "He that is without sin cast the first stone. "
AS we can't cast it, so let US forget it by boosting the good
we do find in the other fellow. Is not that the christian
thing to do? AS we'll as the human thing to do? Come let
us reason together. The Omaha Guide needs you and you
need the Guide. Let's get along together, even the Lion
and the Lamb lied down together why can't we? To
accelerate our circulation campaign, we have organized
The Omaha Guides Boosters Club. The person sending
in more boosters subscribers coupons addressed to the
circulating manager. Omaha Guide by December 20, will
receive $1,000 in Gold. 1t cost you nothing to join, just
follow instructions appearing in coupon. Full in name and
address of subscriber, number of weeks or months sub
scribed for, with your name and address.

Attention. Mr.. Charles G. Galloway,
Acting Editor.
Dear Mr.. Galloway:
1 am in receipt of your letter of
the 18th addressed to Godefroy
Mfg. Company. l appreciate very
much your kindness and shall comply
with your request at an early date,
but the truth is have been so busy
that it has been impossible to do ev-
en- the routine work around our
place.. Miss Edna L. Emme, Secre-
tary of the National Association, has
been associated with me in business
for some time with the result that
two of the executive officers of our
enterprise have been giving the
greater percentage of their time to
tn industry than to u w personal
business.
The National Hairdressers' and
Cosmetologists' Association is the
representative of the beauty shop in
dustry in the United States, and both
Miss Emme and I have been honored
by being appointed on its Code Com
mittee, the chairman of which is the
retiring president Of the Association,
Mr.. Emile Beauvais of Washington,

it is the lot of any persons to work.
and what is of particular interest to
you and your readers is that the Nat
ionaI Beauty Cultuists League, a

LEADERSHIP


Leadership is one who leads, or
conducts, a guide or a commander.
In the Fall of the year, you often
hear a flock of geese going over the
City travelling South or Northvard,
and if you should look up, you
would see a flock of geese in a "
SHAPE, with one as their leader, they
become confused. scattered and dis
organized, for they have no leader
ard they know it. Now that's Goose
sensc. If a goose has sense enough to
recognize leadership shouldn't we?
To mind dear readers, this is the
condition in Omaha today, the Ne
groes are scattered and confused for
the lack of true leadership. We have
no outstanding leader that we can
point to with pride we have many
Tom, Dicks and Harrys, who bob up
every now and then but no real

acid test that it taxes to make a real
leader that of sacrifice that's what it
requires, men who will not sell their
race, a man who has his race and
community at heart. Every other
race has a reorganized leader but the
Negro, he is here so lets find that
type that can be trusted.
am glad to have had the oppor-
tunit yto say these few words. There
are $4,000 Negroes here, l am sure
they will support the proper leader
ship. So lets have at least goose
get and support the proper
leader.

opinion. It has a hard task on hand,

woman is thinking harder today than
ever before. They know by this time
that their salvation have to be found
elsewhere from where they have
sought outside the old political par

KING FEISkL 0F
 IRAK DIES FROM
 HEART DISEASE
Descendant of Fatima, Only Surviving Child of Prophet Mohammed-- Was SO Years Old

Berne Switzerland Sept s--(UP) King. Feisal of Irak died today of heart disease after q brief illness.
 Feisal was descendant of Fati- ma who was the only surviving child of the prophet Mohamed: He was one of the few real winners in the World war. He arrived here recently on a vacation that was delayed by the campaign of hls army against Assyian rebels. He was 50 years old.
 The army engaged irreguiars to aid it and the irregulars slaughter ed hundreds of Christian Assyrians. He was on his way to Switzerland when British and other protests caused him to return to Baghdad, his colorfui capital.
 He set out again part way by airplane and arrived at Berne only to take to his bed i'll. It was not thought his ailment was serious. His prime minister General Buri Pasha was at his bedside. Pasha was here because he and Feisel were concerned lest they would have to defend Irak's Assayrian campaign at the approaching ses- sion of the league of nations.
 Feisai is succeeded to the thrown by the eldest son the Emir Ghazi who was born at Mecca 21 years ago. The three elder children are girls.
 Feisal is succeeded to the throne pie: Feisel identified himself with the Arab nationalist movement. He escaped from the Turks in 1915; went to the Hedjaz and played Q dominant part in the revolt of the Arabs during the World war. He commanded the Arab forces with General Alienby's army and at the end of the war took charge in Ayria. He was proclaimed king in 1920 but being unable to come to terms with the French who held the syrian mandate he left the country.
 In 1921 he was elected king of rrak In plebiscite in which he received 0e per cent of the votes.
 Feisal became i'll after lunch yes- terday. Hc refrained from dinner and went to bed In the early eyen- ing. Near midnight his condition gew worse and he died after q sudden attack at midnight.
