NO. 38 The Alligators of Canada The Alligators of Canada The Alligators of Canada Among the most common sights in the streams and lakes of the Canadian lumber country are alligators. One cannot go up a river in the woods without seeing anywhere from two to half a dozen of them lying on the banks or floating in the water. Nobody hunts these alligators, and there is no instance known of their attacking anybody. Indeed, the lumbermen swim around right alongside of them, and generally there are from one to three lumbermen sitting on the back of one alligator. The fact is that the Canadian alligator is not a reptile, but a boat—and a boat is in the world of boats as the real alligator is queer in the world of reptiles. The Canadian alligator boat is an oval, flat thing, with a small boiler and engine bolted to the deck, without any deck house or other structure over it. Two spidery iron paddle wheels on the sides do the propelling. They look funny enough plunging along, with the skeleton wheels paddling like mad, and a great raft, behind them; but the funniest part of them is that they can happen to get to a shallow place, or till it becomes desirable for some rea- Tale of a Mystery Gov. Pennypacker* of Pennsylvania was reviewing the State militia at Gettysburg. A young staff officer told him in a low voice some unimportant error that had been made. "But as to the cause of the error, sir," he said, "that is a mystery." Gov. Pennypacker smiled. "If it is a mystery," he said, "it is like the pickled pork disaster that befall two Pennsylvania Dutchmen, Hans and Fritz. "These two men bought a lot of pickled pork in partnership. They put it in a barrel, and stored it away in the cellar of Hans' home. Now, Hans, though a Pennsylvania Dutchman, was dishonest. The combination is rare. "Well, the morning after the deal pickled pork, Fritz met Hans on the road. "Good morning, Hans' he said.

Drainage for Drainage for Good Roads It is instructive to observe how steadily the feeling is growing that drainage and not thickness of metaling is the main essential in road-making. However much we may respect the memories of Macadam, Telford and other great road builders who first led public authorities to sensible construction for highways, the fact remains that many of their recommendations are now known to be misleading. Their advice was important at the time when it was given, but it is not in keeping with the broader knowledge of the present time, gained by careful examination of roads built in strict conformity with well-known specifications. Years later, on roads with V-shaped drain along the center, received favor. This V-shaped drain is as effective both for removing the water and supporting the metaling as side drains Death Was a Suggested Subject. Tom Johnson of Cleveland was spending a few weeks at a small hotel near Lake Michigan. Accommodations had been engaged in advance, but the service was not such as he had expected. At each meal Mr. Johnson introduced the subject of death. So persistent was he in discussing the morbid theme that it had a depressing effect on the other guests. "Can't you speak on anything else but death?" asked the landlord in desolation. "Conversation is prompted by surroundings," explained the mayor. "But there are no gravestones nor beacres here," protested the landlord, swinging his arms toward the beautiful lake. "Neither is there crepe on the door." "No," std Mr. Johnson, painfully; Defective Page son to warp a great crib of logs into shore or fasten it to the bank. Then the alligator proceeds to demonstrate why it is so named. It chugchugs calmly to the bank, goes straight at it, up goes its nose on the shore, and the next moment the paddle wheels cease to raid and the queer boat trundles up the land. Then the amphibian character of the thing becomes visible. Under the keel of the alligator are wooden rollers. When the queer craft has been driven up the bank the dugwheel drives the wheel can drive it, chains are run to the nearest tree and brought back to the rollers. The engine gearing is shifted from the paddle wheels to the rollers and the alligator proceeds to pull itself along over the land. Thus the lumbermen have a boat, a locomotive and a stationary engine combined in their alligators, and the value of such a combination can be realized when it is understood that sometimes they bring down rafts so huge that they will cover a square mile; while the distances over which they are floated are so great that rafts have been known to be three years on the way from the far north to the settled country. there any news about our pickled pork? “Fritz,’ Hans answered gravely, ‘there is news, and bad news. A strange thing has happened. It is a mystery to me.’ Hans, tell Hans, tell me all about it,’ said Fritz. “Fritz, my friend, it was like this,’ said Hans. ‘This morning I went down cellar to get a piece of pork for my breakfast, and I put my hand down in the barrel, and I felt around in the brine, and there was no pork there. It was all gone—all gone completely. So then I turned up the barrel, and, as true as you are alive, the rats had eaten a hole clean through the bottom and dragged the pork all out.’ “Fritz was amazed and stunned. ‘Didn’t the brine run out of the hole?’ he asked. ‘“Ah, Fritz, said the other, ‘that’s the mystery.

Good Roads and a Telford base. Its cost is approximately seventy-seven cents per linear foot of road less than construction with a Telford base and two drains, and thirty-five cents less than the same base with a single side drain. This system of construction is directly opposite to that advocated in most of the accepted manuals on the subject. The old idea has been to get the water of the roadbed just as easily as possible. To accomplish this the subgrade has been crowned and rolled and the lower courses of stone are coarse and often of conducable thickness. By the new system of construction the water remains on the roadbed and is collected by the outlet drains at fifty-foot points, the drainage not being distributed along each side of the road, but concentrated at a regular series of points. —Engineering Record.

Novelist States Position George Meredith has at last fallen victim to the interviewer, and apparently a willing victim. There is something a little reminiscent of the new Swinburne preface in the great novelist's pronouncement as to his work "The English people know nothing about me," he has confessed. "There has always been something antipathetic between them and me. With book after book it it was always the same outcry of censure and 'disapointment' that I received it. Then I determined to disregard what people said altogether, and since that I have written only to please myself." T. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 17, 1904. the crush has no grip it on it without every to yourself for the hat. So "see ourselves as others see us" is at a time mortifying experience, and if all Chinamen see us like the unknown author of "As a Chinaman Saw Us" the Chinese exclusion act would win fresh friends in this city, and every leading city on the continent. None escape the sneers and gibes and mockeries of this very bitter Celestial critic, who seems to have seen little that was good and much that was evil in America, and whose pen, dipped in corrosive submate, made him immedious and brag" in glaring letters across the whole United States. His bitterest sarcasm is poured on on American women, their talk, their dress and their manners. The author is supposed to have spent some years in an American university, presumably Harvard, as there are frequent references to people and places in or around Boston. Society folk, at Manchester-by-the Sea have their fobiles and follies laughed at by the "heathen Chinese" in such excellent English and with such a characteristic of the weaknesses and folly of society, the suspicion crops up quite often that Henry Pearson Grattan, the missionary editor of the letters, knows more than he tells about the author. He begins this remarkable series of letters by numbering among the principal characteristics of the American, his "self-glorious, egotistical, supercilious, ignorant, superstitious, vain and bombastic" traits. He likens him to the Chinese evil spirit, who when asked to indicate his possessions tucked the earth under the sun and moon into his pockets and the stars into the folds of his garments, claiming everything in sight. "America has been from 1492 to the present time, the dumping ground of the world," writes this candid critic, "It is, perhaps, due to the climate, perhaps the water, or the air, but the product of these people born on the soil is described by no other word than American. It may be Irish American, very offensive; Dutch American, very strenuous; Jewish American, very commercial; Italian American, very dirty and reckling with garlic; but it is American, totally unlike its progenitor, a something into which is blown a commendable ergy, that is a commander of a bombast is the sum of that of all blonges and a conicet like that possessed by — alone. You see it is insurable, also offensive—at least to the oriental mind. Yet I grant you the American is great; I have it from him and her; it must be so. "The American pretends to be democratic; scoffs at England and other lands, but at heart he is an aristocrat. His tastes are only limited by his means, and not always then. The distinctions in society are so similar that it is amusing to see for a moment you understand them. In a general sense a retail merchant, a man who sold shoes or clothes, a tailor, would under no circumstances find a place in the first social circles; if these same tradesmen should change to wholesalers and give up selling one article at a time, they would become eligible for the best society. The president is in danger (the best); the President is not. Where else could this hold? Nowhere but in America. "With us a gentleman is born; with Americans it is possible to create one, though rarely. An American gentleman is described as a product of two generations of college men who have always had associations with gentlemen and the advantages of family standing and the advantages of men's status as a gentleman. I heard a lady of unquestioned position say that she admired President McKinley, but betrayed that he was not a gentleman. She meant that he was not an aristocrat and did not possess the savoir faire, or the family association that completely round out the American or English gentleman. I asked this to indicate the gentleness of the residents that there were very few that I recall. There were Washington, Harrison, Adams and Arthur. Doubled Young Chinaman, Educated at Harvard, Writes a Book of Scathing Criticism of the People of This Country. Limbs to expose which an inch on the aspect there were others which have escaped me. Lincoln, the strongest American type, she did not consider in the gentlemen class, and Gen. Grant, the nation's especial prize, did not fulfil her ideas of what a gentleman should be. The "Four Hunted" she lesslessly assassinated, emergency marked some of her acts; he writes; "dilance blackened their records, and shameless assists marked them." In this "set," and particularly its imitators throughout the United States, the divorce rate is appalling. Men leave their wives and obtain a divorce for no other reason than that a woman falls in love with another woman's husband. The dress of American men and women, with the changing fashions and servile obsession of all to the god of love, is treated with the same caustic pen. Evening dress is described with considerable humor, and the opera hat interested the Celestial. "There is also a hat to go with the Limbs to expose, which an inch on the chest were a crime, are blown to the world. evening costume he says, "a high hat which injuries you. In you may sit on it without injury to yourself or wear this by a browning experience." "One of the most extraordinary features of American life is the dress of women," he says. "The Americans make claim to being among the most modest, the most religious, the most proper people in the world, yet the appearance of the ladies at many public functions is beyond belief. They wear gowns in the French court fashion, with trains a yard or two in length, but the upper part cut so low that a large portion of the neck and shoulders is exposed. At my fashionable dinner I was embarrassed beyond expression; such an exhibition in China could only be made by a certain class. This remains custom of a strange country to deluge China with missionaries from every sect under the sun and at home commit the grossest solecisms, is universal, and not thought of as improper. "If I should tell you how many American women asked me why Chinese women bandage their feet, you would be amazed; yet every one of these submitted to and practised a deformity that has seriously affected the growth and development of the race. "American women exchange their fashions twice a year or more. Fashions are in the hand of the middle classes, and the highest lady in the land is completely at their mercy; to disobey the mandates of fashion is to become ridiculous. "I was told that one lady wore a $100 diamond in her garter. The utterly strange and contradictory customs of these women are best observed at the beach and bath. In China if a woman is modest she is so at all times; but this is not true with some Americans, who appear to have the desire to attract attention, especially that of men, by an appeal to the beautiful in the middle of the impression the unjudicious looker on gets by a sojourn in the great cities and fashionable reports. If you happen to be riding horseback or walking in the street with a lady and any accident occurs to her costume whereby her neck, her leg or her ankle is exposed she will be mortified beyond expression; yet the night previous you might have sat in the box with her at the opera, when her decolle gown had made her the mark for hundreds of lorgnes. Again, with the night before you bathe with me at the beach and lie on the sand basking in the sun like a siren in a costume that would arrest the attention of a St. Anthony. "Let me describe such a costume: A pair of skin-tight black silk stockings, then a pair of tights of black silk and a filmsy black skirt that comes just to the knee; a black silk waist, armless, and as low in the neck as the moral law permits, beneath which, to preserve her contour, is a waterproof corset. Limbs, to expose which an inch on the street were a crime, are blamed to the world at Newport, Cape May, Atlantic City and other resorts, and often photographed and shown in the papers. To explain this manifest contradiction would be beyond the powers of an oriental had he the prescience of the immortal Confucius and the divination of a Mahomet and Hilliell combined. "Balls are a feature of American life. The women appear in full dress, which means that the arms and neck are exposed, and the men wear evening dress. The dances are mostly 'round'. The man takes a lady to the ball, and when he dances seizes her in an embrace which would be considered highly improper under ordinary circumstances, but the eiquette of the dance makes it permissible. He places his right arm around her waist, takes her left hand in his, holds her close to him, and both begin to move around to the special music designed for this peculiar motion."

The minister was nettled at the charge of neglect, but recovered his equanimity when he remembered that Cassini is near-signed. He was punctilious to a degree, and was extremely careful to observe every detail of diplomatic etiquette, especially at a time when the relations between his country and Russia were about to be severed. He desired to be more particular in his observance of formalities than usual, and had made a deeper bow than customary when he observed the Russian ambassador greeting him. He was hurt by the insinuation of Count Cassini that he had been lacking in courtesy, especially to the dean of the department, to have distinguished and honor a little above that ordinarily shown to members of the corps. Jumped Four Bars At a recent musical festival in a Southern city a local chorus was to take part with the Chicago orchestra directed by Theodore Thomas. One number had an orchestra prelude, the chorus to come in at a certain phrase. Four bars before the cuencote was one somewhat similar, and when that was reached the chorus, the chorus was to come by some panic mania for blundering, promptly come in—four bars ahead of the proper place. A frightful discord arose and the manager standing in the wings literally to his hair. The whole performance seemed falling about his ears in hopeless ruin. But the next moment he found to his amazement no more discord, but orchestra and chorus mowing along so fast that the score was to the score suspected the imminent shipwreck. So to the end it went, smoothly and perfectly. When it was over, big-eyed and still mopping his brow, the manager sought Mr. Thomas. "Say," he gasped, "I wish you would tell me how you did that?" "Oh," said Mr. Thomas easily, "I just jumped the orchestra ahead four bars; that was all!" But no one yet knows how. "Theodore Thomas, Everybody's Magazine. Names That Are Hoodoos Names That Are Hoodoos If one should be so bold as to characterize the superstitious sailor as silly he would at once declare that there is sufficient reason for his belief and would proceed to prove that war vessels named after stinging and venomous things have been unlucky, and that the country should not be so indifferent to the men who follow "a life on the ocean wave" as to organize a mosquito fleet. That Snake is regarded as an unfortunate name for a vessel is shown by the fact that two of that name have been lost, one in 1781 and the other in 1847; but no vessel bearing that name is known to exist now. Serpent, which is only a substitute name for Snake, is an unlucky one also, for the one wrecked in 1892 was the fourth British war vessel of that name to meet the same fate. Viper has been an unlucky name in the British navy. The first one was wrecked in 1780, but the Admiralty would not swerve, and so kept the name on the list, each vessel meeting its doom, and so swerve. The French navy has also been unlucky with vessels so named. The Viper, used in the British service after she became a prize from the Given a Jammy Sentence Given a Jammy Sentence Capt. Kreech of the Hamburg-American line's steamship Graf Waldersee was called upon during the trip to pass sentence upon a贼 caught stealing aboard the vessel. His manner of conducting the case and his judgment were commended by all the passengers. Several steerage passengers on the earlier days of the trip frequently faced hardships and sweetness which they had taken aboard, and nothing was known of the culprit until one day a woman, going to her bunk, found a little, flaxen-haired girl busily engaged in emptying a pot of jam which had been concealed there. The little one had the jam plastered all over her face and hands, and in that condition the woman who discovered her led her to the chief steward. He in turn took her before the captain on the bridge. Many of the passengers, seeing the little girl being dragged before the captain, gathers about to learn the story, then capt.

Her death occasioned general regret. She had many friends, and a large number followed her remains to the cemetery. The last rites were said and all returned to their homes, saddened at the loss of one who was so much to them. An extraordinary sequestered occurred. A peasant farmer, living in the vicinity of the cemetery, rose early next morning to go to his work. Happening to look over the wall of the cemetery, he was astonished to see a man on his knees beside the newly filled in grave. The peasant watched and saw him feverishly scraping away the earth with his hands, not looking aside for one moment. The onlooker remained with his eyes fixed on the strange sight. To his amazement the mysterious visitor continued his grewsome task with abated vigor until presense of an iron implement. The with the aid of an iron implement, the man forly wrenched off the lid. The climax in the weird drama had Disease a Dear Article By careful calculation the cost of malarial fever in Texas alone is estimated by Dr. Woldert to be at least $5,000,000 a year and probably nearer $10,000. One person in twelve in some places is down with the disease. What a good business plan it would be to save three-fourths or nineteenth percent of the disease. No physician doubts the possibility; the methods of prevention are well known and are easily carried out. The public, however—at least its lawmakers—cannot be brought to realize the wisdom of such economy. Money can be found for "junketing tours," public buildings of a political character, and a hundred less necessary measures, but nothing, or next to nothing, for stopping the greatest loss to the community—that from disease. Health officers and the expense of preventive medicine there can be $100 saved. In a class in a Manchester (Eng.) school not one of the children knew what a bee was.

The Cobra, another British war vessel, was lost recently at the same time as the Viper. Among other vessels similarly named and which met fates other than in battle are the Rattlesnake, in 1781; the Alligator, in 1782; the Crocodile, in 1784; the Adder, in 1846; three Lizards, two Dragons and one Basilisk. All of these were of the British navy. The list could be made larger by citing the records of other navies. The Norsemen, who were so fond of naming their vessels against the laws of superstitution and using hideous heads of dragons and reptiles on their high prows, were less fortunate, and these did not meet with frequent disasters. They did have a belief, however, that it was unlucky and a sagejewel to select such a name and did Lord Durrawen for his first yacht to challenge for the America's cup, the Valkyrie. And this belief was strengthened when she was sunk by the Satanita.

Besides learning that the little girl had taken the jam he also learned that her father and mother were poor and could not provide any sweetmeats for her. When the case had been presented Capt. Krech thought over the evidence for a time and, as the girl was caught with the evidence all over her face and hands, he pronounced her guilty. "This is a very serious case," he said. "He must be dealt with accordingly. The penalty for the first offense is imprisonment. For the second it is spanking, and for the third it is hanging or exclusion from America. But the facts in this case are such that I shall have to be more severe. I therefore sentence you to eat the best jam this ship can produce every time you feel like it.

Bending down over one open shell the stranger who had so wantonly disregarded the sacredness of the spot, gazed long and earnestly upon the face of the dead girl. Then, imprinting one passionate kiss upon her forehead, he raised himself and readjusted the lid, afterward proceeding to fill in the earth over the coen agent. More mobile, however, the authorities had informed of the occurrence, and the police arrived and arrested the extraordinary intruder. He was taken to the police station and formally charged. In his possession was found a telegram, handed in at Waterford, and delivered to him at Bristol, telling him of the death of the young lady. It appeared that on receipt of the news he took his passage immediately for Waterford, and on arriving, repaired to his residence. When arrested he said: "they thought they could prevent me seeing her, but they were mistaken." He was taken before the magistrate, who committed him to an asylum—London Mirror.

A Collection of a Few of the Events Occurring Among the Afro-Americans of the Capital of This Great and Nearctic Nation for Our Many Readers. Washington, Sept. 15—The 1,200 Afro-American voters in the 21st Congressional District of Illinois, comprising Christian, Macupin, Montgomery and Sangamon counties have before them a duty to perform in upholding the actions of the congressman, Hon. BenJ. F. Caldwell, a Democrat, who has shown by his attitude that he is a menace to the welfare of the Afro-Americans of the entire country. In the first session of the 57th Congress a bill to appoint a "commission to inspect the conditions of the people" was presented. It called for an official investigation of the condition of our people in the United States, their educational progress and the best means of promoting harmony between the races. It would have known the burdensome methods employed under the system of persecution and cruelty practiced in the South against our people, the exposure of which has shocked the civilized world; a system that crushed the ambition, the hopes and burdens of a poor people, causing the scale of persecution and cruelty of American citizenship. In a statement to the Committee on Labor, of which Mr. Caldwell was a member, Mr. Pledge, an Afro-American from Georgia, pictured the awful conditions existing in the South and told of how men were lynched simply that their bodies were lynched. This commission would have investigated and reported to congress the wholesale lynchings, the crop lien system, jim crow laws and other conditions that have a tendency to destroy our usefulness and retard our work in the cities of this great country. Prominent members interested in the bill and they worked hard for its passage, but along came Benjamin F. Caldwell of Springfield, Illinois, under the lash of the Southern Democrats, with a minority report claiming that the passage of the bill would have created a more national states and would lead to "an unwarranted interference in their affairs by the Federal Government." Regardless of all the suffering, the moans and tears of a helpless he could "see no reason why a special commission could be created to investigate the general condition of the Negro race, etc." Mr. Caldwell has shown his cloven hoof—as a congressman he has betrayed the men who were largely responsible for his first entrance into the field at home and an enemy in the council of the nation—a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. He waved the "bloody shirt" high above his head and the bill was killed, but President Roosevelt, always dealing with the problem and proceeded with an iron hand to stamp out the curse of peonage and human slavery. The world knows the result. Be what of Benjamin Caldwell for Americans of Springfield continue to vote? Upon what ground can he ask them for further support? These men have shown upon other occasions that they are race men first, last and all the time, who do so again. "The worm will turn." S. Coleridge Taylor, the English composer, writes the Musical Leader and Concert Goer, whose works are well known in this country, will come to America in November to conduct a concert by Taylor Society of Washington, D. C. It will be interesting to note the attitude that America will take toward Mr. Taylor, who is a man of great talent in more ways than one. It will doubtless be remembered that Mr. Taylor is a mother being an English woman and his father a full-blooded African. Mr. Taylor is twenty-nine years of age and studied at the Royal College of Music in London; also with Sir Charles Wibers Stanford. The sociology professor of the guished musician comes to America, is composed of Afro-Americans entirely, who have performed several of his works successfully, and at the concerts, to occur November 16-17, his *Sainthwa* will be given; also three works from the text of Longfellow's poems on slavery.

THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. PHONES: OFFICE: MAIN 2927-J1. RESIDENCE: MAIN 121-L1. C. D. MARTIN, M. D. PHOENIX BUILDING, Seventh and Cedar, Room 506. Residence: 277 Grove Street. EDWARD G. KRAHMER Republican Candidate for Re-nomination County Auditor. It is no reflection to say that no official in Ramsey County is more deserving of the loyal united support of his party at the ensuing primaries than Edward G. Krahmer, the present County Auditor. During the past two years many vital improvements have been gradually introduced in the administration of the county auditor's office. The many vexing problems of carrying into effect these improvements to increase successfully overcome. An entirely new system of accounting had to be instituted without any interruption of the public business. Various other reforms, rendered desirable or imperative by the increasing demands of a growing community, had to be undertaken and intelligently executed. At the same time the routine work of the auditor was improved to the satisfaction of the tax-payers. All these things required in their accomplishment a high order of executive ability, sound judgment, untiring zeal, exhaustless patience, firmness and unquestioned integrity. That county auditor, Edward G. Krahmner, is abundantly equipped with all these qualification by his successful achievement of the difficult task this briefly outlined. Mr. Krahmers will doubtless receive the enthusiastic and unanimous support of his party, at the primaries, and will be able to present office, is uniform affability and courtesy at all times have gained for him an exceptionable wide circle of friends, and will doubtless insure his future success in the major. The voters of St. Paul will not be slow to seal with their unqualified approval a record such as that of Mr. Krahmers, the accomplished facts of his speech-for themselves so favorably. LOUIS H. PETER Republican Candidate for County Commissioner. Louis H. Peters, candidate for county commissioner, is well known throughout the city, having been connected with the plumbing business for a number of years. He is a St. Paul. Pa. resident, and county and county at heart, and if nominated will be a valuable accession to the county board. GONE TO HIS REWARD On last Saturday morning at 3:33 o'clock, Hezekiah Parker, an old and well-known citizen passed away at 90 Wilkinson street. Mr. Parker was born March 22, 1810, in Southampton county. Va. At 18 years he shipped as a sailor to the coast of the coastwise trade, following sailings for a number of years. For fifty years he was a steward on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and at the time of his coming to this city in 1887, he was the oldest living steward in accession to the family. He copied with his son, Fred D., who with his wife did much to make his declining years pleasant and agreeable, and with the assistance of his other son, Wm. H., nothing was spared to make him feel that he was cared for. On Monday from St. James A. M. E. Church largely attended by numerous friends, and the floral tributes were beautiful. The family of Hezekiah Parker desire to thank their many friends for their kindly interest in the aged father, life and remembrances at his funeral. CHARLÉS BUTTS for District Judge. Remember the Primary occurs on sept. 20. Vote and save your friend's vote. ST. PAUL, MINN. FRANK J. OBST, Republican Candidate for Nomination as Abstract Clerk. C. H. The abstract cierk is one of the most important officers in the county, and the interest of the property owner is safeguarded when it is filled by a competent man. At this time there is presented to the voters such a man in person, the person who has been connected with the Ramsey County Abstract Co. for a number of years, and you make no mistake by giving him your vote. NIC POTTGIESER. Republican Candidate for Re-nomination as County Commissioner. Long may the chimes on the court house ring and long may the lamps on the outside of the building burn and long may the voters remember Nic Pottigleser who made these improvements and who for a first term on the Board of County Commissioners has made a record equalled by few and surpassed by none. All promises and pledges have been fulfilled and it is our responsibility to our representatives that it is for their own interests to vote for Nic Pottigleser for a second term to an office he has so ably filled for the past two years and where he has given his time and best endeavors in your behalf. The history of politics in the past has been that the people who were born in the past and who had been opposed remembered. So we advise our readers to not let history at this time repeat itself, but remember that they, one and all, have benefited by the services of Nic Pottigleser on the County Board so give that vote of appreciation so justly due to the people who follow his footsteps and inure to St. Paul and Ramsey County a government of which they will be proud. Political happenings have occurred during the last few days that indicate he will secure the largest vote on the ticket and with your help will be returned for a second term with a vote that will in a measure help to repay him for able and efficient services, already rendered. As to good Roads! Mr. Pottgieser has always given his time and attention to this subject, and always advocated the building of permanent Roads. A Voter. PHIL, C. JUSTUS. Candidate for Sheriff, Respectfull solicits your vote at the Primary Election.

He is well known to nearly everybody in the city and is known to the honest, true and tried. He has himself served with credit to himself and satisfaction to the public. For several years he has served as deputy sheriff and is fully competent and qualified to fill the office to which he aspires. He is the friend of the poor man and knows no man by his color or creed, but extends a welcome hand to all. Vote for Charles Reichow and you'll vote right. VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINEES. E. W. BAZILLE. Republican Candidate for Re-nominat tion as Probate Judge. The best recommendation for Hon. E. W. Bazille, the present Judge of the Probate Court, who seeks a renomination is his past excellent record in that trying and important position. Judge Bazille has made one of the most fair and impartial Judges who ever sat upon the Probate bench. He has been a judge of the most important cases and has brought to the position most remarkable judicial wisdom. The Republicans of Ramsey County cannot well do otherwise than to re-nominate and re-elect Judge Bazille. Vote for him sure. VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET. GEORGE A. NASH.

He is in favor of good permanent roads and cycle paths and care of the same. Mr. Nash is one of our best known citizens.

Caldwell, Mr. Wm. Pickens, Hon. J. T. Settle, and Bishop Evans Tyrese. These addresses aroused considerable enthusiasm. The address to the country was reported and unanimously adopted at the closing session Thursday. After the adjournment of the Council Thursday the executive committee met and organized by reelecting Bishop Alexander Walters chairman, and Cyrus Field Adams as secretary, and John W. F. McKinney paid the same and one of the most pleasant and harmonious meetings of the Council was at an end. ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY We the representatives of more than 10,000,000 of Afro-Americans feel that we have a cause that ought to have a fair and impartial hearing on behalf of the citizens of this country not from choice or by adoption but by nativity and as much a part of our composite nationality, as any other element it contains. We have always been loyal in time of our greatest national struggles. We have never been numbered with the enemies of our country but have always been found on the side of law and order. We have never been numbered with the commonists, who threaten the peace and prosperity of our common country, but have always been ready and more than willing to discharge our duty as citizens in each and every country. We therefore appeal to all patriotic and fair-minded citizens of all creeds and nationalities to give our cause a fair unprejudiced and patient hearing, and render us that justice which we merit at the hands of the American citizens of this and we do not fear the results. That we are unalterably opposed to the inhuman and indiscriminate system of depriving citizens of our country of life and liberty without due protections, that we are not the same be discontinued, we ask the people of the United States, the pulpit and the press, the state and national legislatures, to encourage crystallization of such a public sentiment and the enactment of such laws as will absolutely prohibit the perpetration of these-outrages that blacken every citizen of this country's civilization and places in bad remote at home and abroad. Condemn Crime. We wish the American people to understand that we join hands with the best people of the country in emphasizing our condemnation of any crime against the womanhood of the land and have no sympathy for any wretch who commits such a crime; and we should not society generally when we ask that the molb be subordinate to the law. In the South, because of intolerance and race prejudice, a great many of its peaceful and law-abiding citizens are denied their civil and suffrage rights solely upon the ground of their color. Mean, proscriptive and humilizing legislation is continually being a part of the statutory laws. Deregulation against the Afro-American is running riot. In the face of the organic law of the nation, and in bitter opposition to the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and amendments of these states, the president pledged allegiance; written in the constitution by the blood of thousands of our countrymen and the expenditure of billions of treasure, in the face of the right of emancipation, in the power of might, almost an entire race in one portion of our country is denuded of every right by unjust laws of disfranchisement. **Race Prejudice.** We, view with alarm the rapid expansion of our country. For a number of years an active and aggressive campaign has been waged, which seeks to arouse a spirit of race hatred in all sections of this land. Whatever may be the motive actuating those engaged in this unholy work, we wish to show our country, and the innocent victims of an unjust and oppressive regime. As a race, we have striven earnestly and patiently to enter into harmonious relations with the life and activities of the nation; to prove our loyalty and devotion to the country we love, and to prove that we are sincerely desire to be identified with its integrity and to even share its failures, if failures must come. It should not, therefore, be a matter of surprise when we raise our voles against treatment that is so unwarranted. We must not be an individual that true greatness and enduring success rest upon righteousness. No one can wrong his brother without injuring himself, and a community in which the moral sentiment of the people is not strong enough to restrain organized lawlessness is in danger of being engulfed. It is safer to patriotism than to encourage anarchy. It is better to inspire a people with hope and an ambition to become all God has created them capable of becoming than to fill them with despair. Here in this great city are assembled the races of men are coming in contact with each other. They are broadening their sympathies. This spirit of good will is shown by the kindly attention bestowed upon the Filipinos and naked igorotres and other dark races at the World's Fair. The only people of human sympathy and good with the Afro-Americans; refinement and culture count foraught when the individual has African blood in his veins. Many of the Afro-Americans are stockholders in the great Louisiana Purchase Exposition, yet they are refused at many of the public places of accommodation. I declare that the cry of social equality made by those who seek our humiliation is without the least foundation, and those who make this argument know that it is a mere subterfuge. These injustices should be checked. This can be accomplished only by a quickened public sentiment. We therefore call upon the Christian ministry everywhere to lift up their voices against this growing evil; we ask the friends of humanity to give us the courage to stand up against it. We implore the press of the country to stop magnifying our vices and say something of our virtues. We call upon every Afro-American man and woman in this broad land to teach their children the virtues of thrift and economy. Let us insign respect for the law and condemn those of our race whose lawless conduct and vicious tendencies bring shame and humiliation to the Afro-American people. We now place the case of the Afro-American in equity before the American people and ask only for a fair and impartial verdict. Wm. H. Steward, Kentucky, President.

As chairman of the Committee on Printing, a member of the Commission on the Joint Court House and City Hall Commission his work seems to shine out as a beacon light for others to follow.

Johnson, Wm. Sheldon, A. G. Bradley and A. G. Baty, at the K. P. Hall, Wednesday evening in honor of Mrs. Kintchlow, was a very enjoyable affair. Miss Agnes Coalman and Miss Myrtle Collier assisted the young men. Little Jimmie Latterel furnished the music at the piano. Inquiry from Mr. Andrew Hilger of Washington elicited the information that from years of acquaintance it was his belief that the colored men of Minneapolis would make no mistake in rallying to the support of D. P. Jones for mayor. If every citizen would be assured of equal and exact justice at the hands of the executive branch of our government with no strong man with a pull to molest or make afraid stand by D. P. Jones. The Free Kindergarten of Atlanta, Ga., was a gift to the colored people from the late Judge E. S. Jones, father of D. P. Jones. JUST OPENED! New and Up to Date! Madam Lucy Kid Mitchell POOL AND BILLIARD HALL, 1313 Washington Ave. So. Fine Wines, Liquors and Cigars. DR. U. G. WILLIAMS. Republican Candidate for Mayor. Was born in Chicago, Ill., in 1864. At the age of seven his family removed to Wisconsin, where he was educated in the common and high schools of that state. He entered the drug business in Minneapolis in 1883, continuing in that business until he was graduated from the medical department of the University of Minnesota in 1889. From that time he has been actively engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery. In politics, he has always been a Republican. Was elected coroner of Hennepin county in 1900 and reelected in 1902 by one of the largest votes ever given a Republican candidate. While coroner he was called upon to take charge of the sheriff's office, and for three months administered that office in a most satisfactory manner. C. N. DICKEY is a candidate for re-nomination for clerk of the district court. For many yeahs he has employed an Afro-American in his office at a good salary; but was compelled to discontinue his services. If a member of our race is given a fair chance, is weighed in the balance and found wanting, it is no fault of the weigher. Mr. Dickey does not charge the race for the shortcomings of an individual. These facts should be considered closely when voting at the primary election for clerk of the district court. HUGH B. MARCHBANK. The office of city comproller of Minneapolis is a very important one and voters should exercise great care in the selection of their candidate. Among the republican aspirants for the place, the name of Hugh B. Marchbank is prominently mentioned. He is eminently well qualified for the place. For many years past he has filled the responsible position of clerk of the board of education and so well and faithfully has he performed his duties in that capacity that he has been re-appointed a number of times without opposition. He is a splendid accountant and just such a man as is needed for the responsible position to which he aspires.

As the campaign for the congressional nomination progresses, any observer must admit that the Republicans of Hennepin county are very nearly unanimous in their determination to send Hon. Loren Flether back to the house of representatives for the next two years. There is no question that he has made the best congressman this district has ever had and we shall make no mistake in giving him two years more to complete the many things left undone at the end of his last term. Mr. Fletcher has always stood for the rights and interests of our people and has never turned away from the needs of the humblest. Instances of this do not need to be mentioned here. Our people have found Mr. Fletcher to be their true and tried friend and will stand by him this time right royally. DANCING ACADEMY Ten Every Wednesday Entire Season. Classes will be Taught.
