The Appeal

VOL. 20. NO. 42 MAIN ISSUE AT STAKE IT IS NOT THE PERSONALITY OF THE CANDIDATES. Great Question Is Whether a Republican or Democratic Administration Should Conduct the Affairs of Government – Opposition Is Neither Safe Nor Sane. Although the Republican party welcomes a comparison of the character and personality of its candidates with those of the candidates of the St. Louis convention, it prefers to urge the election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks as fitting representatives and instruments of the party, it would maintain that if it were true, which it is not, that there is anything in the judge of Judge Alton B. Parker to justify the contention that he would make a "sinner and safer" President than Theodore Roosevelt the party's best man, up with the Democratic party, a Moses with the modern equipment of a Gladstone, could not insure as safe and a goadement a the Republican party has administered under President Roosevelt. It is not pretended that Judge Parker possesses any superiority of statecraft, character or experience to Grover Cleveland. In fact, he has been accepted by the conservatives as the disappointing alternative for the ponderous oracle of Buzzar's Bay, and he has only been accepted by the radical or Bryan element of the party, because he had demonstrated the lack of Clevelander's short and匀ity of voting for free silver in 1856 and 1900. In these two votes the proof is complete that there is nothing in Judge Parker's convictions, character or conscience to promise anything better, vacillating and reactionary Democratic administration. Worse than this, whatever may be thought of Judge Parker's personal characteristics, the world as the presidential creation of David B. Hill, and his chief associates and advisers since his nomination have been Hill, "Hill" Sheehan, "Pat" McCaren, "Charlie" Murphy and others. Tammany statesmen for revenue only. ( "Mr.-Facing-Both-Ways." Nothing in his campaign utterances has suggested that Judge Parker possesses any of the stern attributes of leadership that bind parties to the will of a strong, conservative, conscientious chief. On the contrary he has been betrayed by him by Speaker Cannon, of "Mr-Facing-Both-Ways." Therefore a vote for the "safe and sane" Parker and his ocoronian mate is only to be justified by trust in the same sane aim of the party whose nominies he has held. For forty years—barring the two Cleveland intervals—the Democracy has been excluded from power, because the American people have mistreated its safety, its sincerity and its sinity. During the last decade, in its ranks nearly all the elements of discontent, discord and reaction that are the signs and proofs of hopeless political stagnancy and decay. As a party it threw every impairment within its reach in the way of the energetic prosecution war for the power of the Union. That the reader may understand that the Democratic leopard has not changed its spots in forty years it may be recalled on July 2, 1864, the Democrat's address to the people of an address to the people of the United States in which according to George William Curtis in Harper's Monthly, President Lincoln was charged "with the engrossment of power; with military interference in elections; with the illegal raising troops; with unnecessary and hateful conscription; with the payment of exorbitant bounties; with employing colored troops on an equality with white soldiers; with setting up a false and ruthless, financial system; with placing in its peer of foreign interference; with encoffining the race by amalgamation, with narcissus." In August of that same year August Belmont, whose son is now pulling wires behind the "Sphinx of Esopus," as temporary chairman of the Democratic National Convention, said that "four-years of misrule by a sectional, fanatical and corrupt party had brought our country to the verge of ruin. The past and present have been the result of the astonishing consequences which would befall us if Mr. Lincoln's re-election should be made possible by our want of patriotism and unity." Sermour's Sentiments. Horatio Seymour, in his speech as permanent chairman of the same convention, inveighed bitterly against Lincoln's administration and the Republican party, saying: "They were animated by intolerance and hatred, and the spirit of our institutions, the character of our people and the condition of our land." "Step by step," he continued, "they have marched on to results from which we have been working; and even now when war has desolated our land, has laid its heavy burdens upon labor, and when bankruptcy and ruin overlapping with they will not have the union restored except upon conditions unknown to us." He demanded the restoration of the Union through the unconditional surrender of the principle of national self-preservation and "the full recognition of the people of the South." These speeches of Belmont and Seymour—the prototypes of the Belmonts and Tallmans, Berkke Cockrum and Carl Schmitt of our day—were but the prelude to the resolutions of the convention in which Lincoln's administration was denounced from every traditional point of view with respect to the war, and the war was depoisoned as failure in the following perennial Democratic phraseology: Resolved, That the convention dots ex- WE HAVE SHOWN IN FACT THAT NATURAL POLICY IS TO JUSTICE TO ALL MEN, PAYING THE RIGHTS OF A MAN IS RIGHT OR POOR, OR TO HIS RACE, CREED OR JUST IN LACE. — Presidents Roosevelt Demanded State's Rights. With the omission of a few phrases having reference to the then prevailing condition of war, there is nothing to distinguish these utterances of the Democratic party forty years ago from those of the Republican party today. The similarity of phraseology used to denounce, to declare and to demand; the invocation of the Constitution to preserve rights and liberties from imaginary prescripts of administrative usurpation, militarism, and the fictitious concern over non-existing financial and industrial burdens—all go to show that the Democratic party of 1904 stands in the same old shoes of 1864, snarlling at the heels of the Reconstruction era, doing things for the advancement, peace and prosperity of the people of the United States. It will be observed that, in August, 1864, the Democratic party assumed to express the "sense of the American people" in its arraignment of Lincoln and Washington, which the American people in November promptly repudiated by the following vote: Popular Electoral 10466 Lincoln and Johnson . . . 2,10466 McCullane and Pendleton . 1,988,725 10471 Delaure, Kentucky and New Jersey were the only States in the slim Democracies. Same Old Cry. Every four years since 1864, the Democratic party has gone through the same formula of arraigning the Republican party as the party of unconstitutional usurpation, fanaticism, sectionalism, extravagance, financial hardship, and the use of force—and with two exceptions the American people have returned the same verdict they did in 1864. In 1884 and 1892 certain exceptional conditions, for which the Republican party was in nowhere more secure, were added to lend a trusting ear to the reiterated impeachment of the Republican administration. Cleveland's two terms were the result, both giving conclusive proof of the incompetence of the Republican government to administer the government except by adopting the Republican policy and practice they had denounced. In Cleveland's second administration the Democratic party attempted to replace the Republican tariff with a mongrel mixture of free trade, class projections and a new approach that came to pass the very conditions of revenue deficits, social disorder and widespread despair and misery of which the American people had only dreamed under the spell of Democratic demagogy. The restoration of Safety and Sanity in the city of Cleveland and its affairs came with the election of William McCain in 1896. Since then the nation has experienced a period of prosperity unexploited in the history of the world. It has yaged a successful war resulting in establishing liberty and a popular government in Cuba, in expanding America's reach to the Caribbean, in Porto Rico and the Philippines and in advancing the United States to a powerful, almost a commanding place, in the polity of nations. Nothing like the national development of these eight years has been known in the past of the republic, and with it have come world-wide responsibilities and as problems of internal government. The Republican party within the Constitution, without straining any of the powers reposed in the Executive or Congress, has met the demands of the hour with courage, wisdom and success, to which the chorus of Democratic declamation, denunciation and demands pays the tribute of the law. So to-day in its history, its policies and its candidates, the Republican party appeals to the American people as the party of achievement, of resources and of the courage to grapple with every new phase of national life. It is the party of sound principles, safe finance and integrity of the laws. Of its capacity to govern is written in the healthy progress of the United States during the past forty years. The guarantee of its fitness to continue in the execution of that great trust is in the character and experience of its leaders. Which Will You Trust?

The Get-Rich-Quick Democrat Bosses Are Wronging Too Soon Certain Democrats, with the exuberance of the newly rich, are boasting of the States they are going to carry by means of their big campaign fund. There is no telling what may happen, even if they win. But the only way to or two ago, one politician from West Virginia is bewailing certain well-proved facts in connection with campaign money. They are thinking a good deal of campaign money in West Virginia. The Republican campaign camp said, in effect, that West Virginia is likely to go Republican this fall. "The migrants will all vote the Republican ticket," he declared, "those who are allowed to vote. They'll take the ballot and vote the Republican ticket straight." This is a complication of great import to our erring brethren of the opposing camp. It was not always thus, but now, with the Australian balloon, in some form, the Republican campaign said that the riffraff who sell their votes take the money and then vote as they please. The Oil trust can put its money into the Parker campaign fund, but it cannot even one of its own vast army of voters in the form of its vietnam in the world of business. The Democrats are puffed up over their fat pocketbook, but it won't help them in the coming election. The people prefer to have money in their own pocket, but they are unable to earn themselves, in a time of prosperity and industrial activity such as a Republican administration gives them. After an exhaustive review of the situation in the Hoosier State, Walter Wellman, the staff correspondent of the Record-Herdal, says: "With the Republican democracy bound to lose a few thousands of the Bryanies, with nothing present in the public mind to lead to an upheaval, and with Indiana a Republican State to start with, one does not need to be a seventh son to foresee the outcome of the election." The can plurality at "somewhere between 15,000 and 30,000." "Being unable to agree among themselves is to whether the gold standard is a curve or a blessing, and as to whether we ought or ought not to have free and unlimited cohesion, of silver, gold, and other metals, thought it expedient to avoid any committal on these subjects, and individually each to follow his particular bank." Roosevelt's letter of acceptance. Chicagoans of the Democratic persuasion are trying hard to get Judge Parker to agree that the gold standard, but Judge Parker is not hungry. Like Poo-Bah, just before the execution, he "doesn't want any lunch." It is freely predicted by those who ought to know that Ulster county, New York, Judge Parker's home county, will give Roosevelt a good majority. MONEY FOR LABOR. Nearly Half a Billion Dollars More for Wages. The census of 1900 showed that the wages of all classes, and all occupations, in the United States was $2,522,333.13, as against $1,818,223.321 in 1800—a gain of $431,105.50. The census reports of wages for labor and salaries in all industries employed in manufacturing industries for the last three decades are as follows: 1900: $403,711.323 1910: $391,088.583 1880: $343,753.579 * No census taken. Had these census reports included the period from 1894 to 1904 the comparison would be far more striking, for thousands of workingmen lost their jobs shortly after the last Democratic nomination in 1882. Affected by the power, and there were very few workingmen of those able to keep their jobs who did not have to submit to at least some reduction in wages. Hence the days when Democracy plied trouble on to trouble, and seemed to leave nothing undone that could be done to bring impoverishment to the American workingman. The entire country was made a sort of laboratory for origination of explosive products and by-products, including especially free trade, free silver, free riot and free soup. It mattered not that desolation was brought into thousands of American homes, but into a workingman's life. It filled rooms and served for the necessities of life, so long as Democracy was given the chance to experiment with the idea of taking the home market away from American industry and giving it to the foreigner, and antagonizing business agitators with the gold standard. After William McKinley was elected President and the policies of protection and of sound money once again established, the phenomenal growth of the United States in wealth and prosperity and of the economic growth of nations; and this growth has continued with accelerating velocity up to the present time. The census of 1900 recorded this great upward movement when it was only about half way to where it is now. Of the millions of dollars invested in dollars and workingmen's wages does not concern the workingman alone by any means. It concerns every business man in the United States, every farmer, and every woman and child dependent on the labor of others for their support. For instance, if the wages of labor in the United States were increased in the millions the per capita consumption of wheat could not have increased from 3.44 bushels in 1804 to 6.33 bushels in 1904, and the price of wheat almost doubled. Prosperity is always made up of an almost constant increase in the price, which is only by having every link sound and strong that prosperity for all can be preserved. CANDIDATES COMPARED. Why Roosevelt Is More Popular than Parker. The New York Sunday Democrat, a newspaper that recently voted Parker's nomination, explains the reasons why the Parker campaign is languishing and the Roosevelt campaign is booming, says: "Judge Parker has few of the attributes of clarity; Taeodore Roosevelt has them all." "Parker is timid; Roosevelt is brave." "Parker is controlled by friends and patrons; Roosevelt is independent." "Parker has no political record; Roosevelt is one of the acknowledged progressive statesmen of the century and his record is the record of the sunshine years of militant and advancing Americanism." "Parker has no vigorously oppose there is no one to actively defend Judge Parker as a political standard-bearer. Theodore Roosevelt invites the fire of partisan enemies and artillery to attack the patriotic and admirable admirer." *Judge Parker is a weak candidate, an unwarranted candidate, an unfortunate candidate.* date for the presidency. A life of judicial monotony and exclusion from political affairs does not appeal to the allegiance of partisans. Theodore Roosevelt was a candidate for the presidency. "He is a man of action nominated for an electorate of abounding energy, force and progress. He is, especially, the idol of it." "It is, therefore, not at all surprising that, as the voters contrast these, two candidates they should be irresistibly drawn to one—to Roosevelt—and should be persuaded to vote for him to his antagonist, Parker. Such is the present trend of the campaign and it is decidedly favorable to President Roosevelt. No reasonable doubt of his election exists or is entertained by anyone with politics, Democrat or Republican." DON'T FORGET CONGRESS. It Is Very Important that It Should Be Republican. In the great political contest which occurs in this country every four years, and which is now on, the election of the President is a major interest. This ought not to be so. The President is the head of the executive branch of the government, but the legislative branch is equally as important. Republicans should remember that it is the duty of the President to elect the President. The election of Judge Parker would mean much more than the induction of his personality into that high office. His election would mean the election of a Democratic House of Representatives, this would be most unfortunate, because: First, the Democratic party, composed as it is of all the distracted elements of the country, is not capable of successfully administering the affairs of this government. It has not the capacity to deal with the great problems that now threaten the United States, a House of Representatives would mean that the entire legislative machinery of that body would be placed in the control of the South; the Speaker, the committee on rules, and all the important committees, as well as the chairmanships of the same, would be composed largely of Democrats. The North would be subordinated to Southern policies. In answer to this it may be said that a Democratic House could do no harm, as the Senate would still be Republican and could prevent any unwise or radical legislation. But a Democratic House could prevent Republican legislation; and great harm might be avoided. The publican Congress is scarcely second in importance to the election of a Republican President. The Viking Fringe. The northern fringe of the United States is being rapidly and densely populated with people from Norway, Sweden and Denmark. This is right. for we are of them. We are of the trend of humanism, which has been raised in Raised England and made the Anglo-Saxon and subsequently made the United States, and whose descendants generally vote the Republican ticket, if any one doubts that the Northern States in which are settled so many of our own Scandinavian ancestors year go back to Republican—well, he should be taken care of by his friends. Poor Old Renater. The Democratic rooster. The most unfruitful glance: "if would crow like I uset. But I don't get the chance." "The record of the last seven years proves that the party now in power is not the most powerful action necessary to improve and strengthen our military system, and that our opponents cannot be so trusted."—Novever's letter of acceptance. Four weeks before election it looks to the conservative prophets as if Roosevelt would have 312 electoral votes to only 150 for Parker, with the probabilities running in favor of an increase in the Republican majority. "The American home is indeed the cradle of liberty—it is the unit of the Republic's strength." - Barack Obama in the Senate, January 1, 2016 PARKER AND THE TRUSTS. No Likelihood that the Democratic Candidate Would Antagonize Them. What would he do about the trusts—those "gigantic" institutions which the Democratic platform says "should be prohibited and punished by law," but the prohibition and punishment of which he lost to some of the Democratic candidate's trusty Wall street friends—including gentlemen like August Belmont, George F. Peabody, Daniel S. Lamont, John R. McCormack, and James D. Crimmins, M. Guffey, J. D. Crimmins, James Smith, Jr., and Thomas E. Ryan? The Democratic position on the trust question is grotesquely illustrative of the saying that politics make strange bed- August Belmont and the other great Democratic promoters of trusts do not seem to feel a bit nervous standing on the Democratic platform with W. J. Bush and his supporters. They have too much confidence in the candidate whose campaign they are managing to ever believe for a moment that he would do anything to injure the trusts with which they are compromised. They know Parker too well to think it possible that he would turn out to be an ingrate, and attempt to ruin his personal friends and benefactors. They know that the Bryan trust-housing faction of the Democracy should have the Democratic platform just the way they want it, so long as the Democratic candidates who stand on this platform are theirs "to have and to Despite the Democratic platform demand for a law to limit corporations to the States where they originate, Alton B. Browne, the former governor of the law necessary on the subject of trusts. The common law has been well tested in Democratic times as well as Republican—and it never proved itself unworkable. The fact is hence it is easy to understand why Parker prefers it to statutory regulations like the Sherman anti-trust law, which might force him into the embarrassing situation of having to whether to violate his sword oath as President to uphold the laws of the United States, or to make things unpleasant for Wall street friends, who have been accustomed to a traitor and haggle to their interests. WANT A REAL LEADER Democrats Finally Realize that Parker la n. Noonity. Democratic newspapers continue to demand that Parker withdraw from his shell and play the role of leader. "Sage of Silence" sounds well, they say, but the phrase won't win over voters. By using an Islam or we are beaten," Democratic editors are crying. "We don't want Hill, Shechan and Belmont kept in the foreground, while Parker is muzzled at Esopus." The editors should have thought of this before Parker was nominated. This is why they give the matter thought, that Parker was a monometry, with such wily politicians as Hill and Shechan in charge of party affairs. Thus, the Democracy is not more of a "happy family" than a "happy family" with Bryan as an aggressive leader. Commenting on the demand that Parker assume the leadership, the Des Moines Register and Leader says: "No man ever entered a national campaign hampered by advisers so dimetrically ill. It might as well expect to unake a pair of Siamese twins out of Cleveland and Bryan as to assume that he can announce an aggressive, affirmative and positive program that will not at once influence an influential element of his following. "Judge Parker was nominated to play the role he is playing. It is unfair of the men who foresee defeat to begin the war on him. He is just the sort of leader he was held out to be, just the sort of man he always has been. He is conducting exactly the campaign that his opponent has made of. If the campaign is a failure, let the men who planned it bear the blame. Judge Parker has deceived nobody, and is acting his part in the politicization exactly as it appears in the play book." LABOR CONTROVERSIES. Republican Legislation Providing for Arbitration. The only national legislation providing for the arbitration of labor controversies and recognizing organized labor was enacted by the Republicans. On June 1, 1898, President McKinley signed a bill passed by a Republican Congress entitled "An Act concerning carried out by the employees." It should be understood, of course, that Congress could not legislate for employees in general, but it has authority to regulate interstate commerce. The act referred to provides that whenever a controversy arises between an employer and an employee, the Interstate Commerce Commission shall first offer mediation, and, that failing, shall endeavor to bring about arbitration of the dispute. The act provides that if arbitration is agreed to, "one member of the board of arbitration shall be selected by the Commission to which the employee belongs, and a third by these two." Another section of the law makes it a misdemeanor for any interstate railroad to dismiss an employee or threaten him with loss of employment for belonging to a union. The only piece of national legislation that recognizes organized labor. Democrats have talked, but Republicans have acted. In This a campaign Lie? O, this may be important— You'd better keep it dark.

REPUBLICAN POLICIES THEIR RESULTS CONTRASTED WITH THOSE OF DEMOCRACY. The Prosperity of the Agricultural Class Means that Men Engaged in All Other Lines of Industry Are Also Prosperous. In his famous Chicago convention speech in 1896 W. J. Bryan said that the American business man included the "man who is employed for wages, the merchant at the cross-roads store, the farmer who goes forth in the morning to the fields, begins in the spring and toils all summer, the miner who goes, a thousand feet into the earth, the attorney in the country town," etc. He also expressed the "Democratic idea that if you make the masses prosperous with the means and its way up and through every class." The Republican party during the last eight years, in fact as well in theory, has been carrying out this "Democratic idea" of making the nation prosperous by making the "masses prosperous." It has been doing this for the cities, the farmer, the country merchant, the miner, the country lawyer, etc., all included in Bryan's definition of the "American business man," and it has made them all prosperous. It may be said of the prosperity that the country has undergone in the class tables, but for the masses, and from them up and through every class, that THEE WAS PROSPERITY ENOUGH FOR ALL. Through the opening of the mills of the United States, rendered again possible by the return of the country in 1972, the unemployed classes were given work. THEY WERE THEN NOT MERELY BUSINESS MEN, as Bryan said they were, but BUSY MEN. A Contrast of Results. In Democratic times there was constant and frequent allusion to the ARMY OF THE UNEMPLOYED. The Coxey Army that went to Washington, in 1894 to demand that the government give it work was but a small guilder detached from the army and home, suffered, starved and found the living of life to be almost uneducable. When this army of the unemployed got work, and not only that, but got steadily increasing wages, it made a quick and a good market for the products of the army. The army toils all day, and begins in the spring and toils all summer." There are nearly nine million men in the United States who make a living for themselves and families by tilling the soil" and who must depend for their livelihood on the products from those employed in manufacturing industries. The census of 1900 showed that the wages of those employed in manufacturing industries had increased $431,105,500 from 1890 to 1900. The figures have been immensely more advanced since the war, covered in 1894, in the midst of Democratic times, to 1904, the present time. NO WONDER WITH SUCH ENORMOUS GAIN IN WAGES TO THE LABORING, CLASS OF BUSINESS THE LABORING, CLASS OF BUSINESS CHANCE TO BE BUSY THROUGH THE REPUBLICAN POLICY OF PROTECTION, THE PER CAPita CONSUMption OF WHEAT INCREASED FROM 3.44 BUSINESSES IN 1854 TO 633 BUSINESSES IN 1904, THE CHANGE IN WHEAT CONSUMption ABOUT THE SAME THING IS TRUE OF PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING THE AMERICAN FARMER PRODUCES. This farming class of business men is now given adequate reward for their toil by day and through spring and summer. It now can, in fact already, has paid off the farm by checking accounts with the country banks. A Change in Conditions The merchant at the crossroads stores now finds the farmer and his wife and children have money to spend, and want more and better clothes to wear, books to read, and bribe-a-brace to adorn the country home. The farmer could now more and better dress his clothes the corncob pipe to a real Havana cigar, and dress every bit as stylishly as the business man in the city, pay as high fees to his doctor and his lawyer, and just as much rent for the pew in church, for the church, for the lands, just like the city business man's wife, and hire a servant girl to do housework that in Democratic times she herself had to do. He could afford to have his daughter wear clothes that would make him a better business man, the banker's daughter in the city, and study music, art, French, etc. that would make him just as much /at home in the most accomplished society. He could afford to send his son to college where he could get an education that might make him a better business man, or even President of the United States. The American farmers' increased prosperity reciprocally benefits the workingman in the cities, and the workingman's prosperity again reciprocally benefits the nation as an endless chain of mutual benefits. As for those who "go a thousand feet in the earth," etc., they, too, have fully shared in the Republican prosperity which has increased enormously the demand for iron, since early coke and the precious metals. In mining, as well as in all other branches of how industrial effort, the "American business man" can now secure the hire that a Democratic officer is worthy of but which Democratic policies ruthlessly deprived him of.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1904. JIM CROW CHURCHMEN. It is disheartening to the many good men and women in this country who are working with all their might for the obliteration of the color line, to the destruction of the American ever ready for personal reasons to "Jim Crow" the race. The latest evidence of the existence of this spirit is the proposal of certain Afro-American Episcopal clergy, who are now in session in Boston to form separate dioceses for Afro-Americans. The canons, in part, submitted read as follows: 1. Provides for the formation of new dioceses to include necessary, any or more general dioceses now existing. This territory would be the special jurisdiction for work among Afro-Americans who live within those limits as regular or possible communitaries. 2. Provides for the appointment of Afro-American bishops as general missionaries for these special jurisdiction. D. R. H. FREDERICK DOUGLASS. "The Republican Party is the ship, all else is the sea." tions, with power and office subject to LYNCH LAW MUST the General Convention. Indus Thomas G. Jones G 3. Provides for the rights and conduct of the Afro-American bishop and the general relation of their work to the dioceses embracing a part or whole of the jurisdiction for Afro-Americans. Bishop Stange, the Bishop Coordinator of South Carolina, who made a speech recently favoring the absolute separation of the races, of course favors the unholly scheme and Bishop Brown of Arkansas, whose rabid utterances against the Afro-American race shocked many of the decent white people in Jeffidavism, is in favor of immediate separation. The Christian plan are all candidates for the bishop's office on which pays $6,000 per year, and that explains their interest in the matter. That they may be provided for for life and roll in luxury, while "not a wave of trouble rolls across their peaceful breasts," they must bind the chains about their brethren. We trust that there will be enough votes of Godly white men in the convention to defeat the ungodly scheme. COLOR QUESTION IN FAR EAST. "Thus far, the color question has not it much figure in the war between Russia and Japan, but it begins to assume some prominence. For instance, the N. O. Plicaye recently stated, "It begins to be recognized that the Japanese already dream of driving the white people out of Asia, and are confident of their ability to lead such a war, but the question that the overwhelming defeat of the Russians, both on sea and land, has exerted a powerful effect in disabusing other Asiatics of the idea that the white nations are invincible, and give success to Japanese has made them moreufferly defeated and insolent. They implicitly believe that their army and navy are invincible and give their views public in a manner which is galling. They believe that their apparent inferiority and insolent inability to conceive that there is anything sacred about a promise or agreement, and the barbarism which is so clearly apparent through their veneer of politeness and civilization have irritated and alienated them, and have come in contact with them." It must be confessed that the Japs are irritating and alienating the Russians in a way that has very little veneer of politeness in their attitude to their misfortune to their contempt for a colored race. They regarded Japan as "a little upstart" and made no adequate preparations for such a struggle as they did in the past. Japan has received a valuable lesson as to the capabilities of a colored race. BEFORE DAY CLUBS John Temple Graves in his recent open letter has this to say of the "Before Day Clubs" which are alleged to exist in the South. The existence of these clubs is evidence as sound and conclusive as that which proves the continuance of our prosperity or the matter of our loyalty to a restored and related country. This which is as conclusive as John's loyalty is very doubtful. If we are to judge by the rot he gets on on the editorial page of the Atlanta News and in his open letters John is not likely to the laws of his country. Really it requires but a small amount of common sense to enable one to decide that the reports of the formation of these clubs for the purpose of murder, son and murder, are senseless and malicious fakes invented by the Southern descendants of Ananias. Moreover, if the false reports were intended to accomplish anything, they are dismal failures, for they lack the necessary benefit of clergy, by the sensible class of Southern journals. WATCH 'EM. WATCH THE correct units of Democracy are planning to elect Parker and a majority of the House by the methods which that party employed many times in former elections. Such frauds as were committed in New York City in 1868, and in Brooklyn a few years later, were the first governor of the state was elected by fraudulent returns from Pembina, a very insignificant settlement at that time. Similar frauds have since been exposed at St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland and New York, and Democratic party is crowded with frauds; and, now, the conspirators, after their long experience are prepared, with unlimit ed funds at their disposal, to out-dall funds at their achievements. A memorial service for these achievements told a friend of his that to a small mining camp, reported on his return as follows: "There was just forty men in camp sir, and your majority is one hundred and twenty." The memorial told a friend of many opportunities to manufacture such majorities. Watch 'em, watch 'em. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER LYNCH LAW MUST GO. Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States Court at Huntsville, Ala., seems to be made of the right sort of stuff. Last Tuesday in opening the court he delivered a vigorous charge to the grand jury with regard to the retaliation of the police in the Afro-American, and the firing by the mob of the fall in which were confined federal prisoners. Judge Jones said in part: "The are fairly satisfied that the mob would not have murdered Maples, if he had been a white man, then every dictate of humanity and justice demands that you return true bills against the members of the mob. "A conviction or acquittal in the case would not matter what these parties did is no bar to prosecution under the laws of the United States." Judge Jones arraigned the mob in the severest terms and insisted that the police should face against lynching for any crime, and we heartily agree with him. HILL ON LAWLESSNESS Ex.Senator Hill, of New York, has delivered a long screed upon what he calls the lawlessness of Roosevelt. This is the first time that lawlessness has disturbed the reponse of the distinguished senator, though, for years, it has run riot all over the country. He has known such to be the enemy of the word in condemnation, which cast a shade of suspicion over the zeal of this young convert. The senator might supplement his able effort by a showing-up of the lawlessness of President Jefferson in acquiring the Louisiana coast to fully as much as his lamentation over the acquisition of the Panama canal. --- The Southern newspapers are printing long accounts, with flaming headlines of every little race conflict, especially such as happen in the North as though they were men in charge of that race, to think that by this course they are contributing mightly to the success of the National Democratic ticket, so much in fact that they are excused from any other contribution. So however accomplishing a deal condition in a theory confronts the Democrats of the North, which is that the electoral votes of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other important/ states depend largely upon the Afro-American votes in those states. So the Northern Democratic candidate of the South; and when the South pipes to them they do not dance. It seems to be an indicated fact that the race issue which the Tillman-Vardaman crowd are trying to inject into the campaign will cure no problem, and the bowls of the Southern devisees are dismissed with a shrug of contempt. Col. John S. Mosby of confederate guerrilla fame says that the talk of forcing social equality of the races is all nonsense. "Nobody wants to do such a thing and nobody can do it. Social intercourse rests on mutual consent. That law of nature is the foundation of society, and regulates not only the conduct of men but of all animals. There is just as marked a division between different classes of white people as between different peoples. There are other Southerners who see this thing as Col. Mosby sees it, but they are afraid to talk out. Some of the members of the Oak Park Women's Christian Temperance Union criticised President Roosevelt's letter in which he said: "Train your children to use their fighting instinct on the side of righteousness but which your boy for what is merely an overflow of animal spirit, because he is healthy and full of life." The President is right. Afro-American mothers ought to train their children to fight not only for righteousness but for justice. "For I must fight if I would win, increase my courage, Lord." The trouble about John Temple Graves苦惰计划 for the renaisance of the Ku Klux Klan, is that the remedy is worse than the disease. One form of lawlessness can never be a remedy for another form. John Temple Graves told the story in the Arabian Knights of the fisherman who brought up from the depths of the sea a casket in which was confined an evil zenius, held there by the power of the seal of Solomon. The fisherman broke the seal and John Temple is trying to do the same thing. Judging by his public utterances, Congressman Helfin of Alabama is an anarchist and belongs in the Heri Court, where he was last week, he said. "There they sat, Rooseveit and Booker, and if some Colozgos or one of his kind had thrown a bomb under the table no great harm would have been done the country." The Southern papers tell Helfin: "He was a South. That's what they say about Tillman and Vardaman. Who speaks for the South?" In their published utterances, neither Parker nor Davis makes the remotest allusion to the important issue of "social equality" which has been raised by Tillman, Vardaman, Jeff Davis and others for the sake of the fact that candidate Davis has for a son-in-law Mr. Elkins, a Republican of the stalwart stake. We are surprised to observe the fact that $T_4$, V, J, $D_4$ and Co. have not cross-questioned their candidates in respect to this matter. Judge Parker has achieved fame as a dishonest historian. He pretends to quote McKinley, but omitting certain sentences and bringing others into jixaposition, he entirely perverts' McKinley's argument and shapes it to suit himself. This is rather a small change, but the result is a silly one into the bargain, for the thing was exposed in a very short time. John Temple Graves, the Democratic editor of the Democratic Atlanta News, in a leading editorial defends lynching and advocates the revival of the Iraq War. For terminating the Afro-Americans of the South, John is an important cog in the Democratic machine, and he openly advocates what many of his compatriots have practiced secretly for years. The danger of mob law was well illustrated in the case, Afro-Americans at Fredericksburg, Va. He was charged with rape and the mob was ready to lynch him, when the lady upon whom it was claimed he had outraged, testified that she had not been assaulted. But for the man who would have been put to death. The Afro-Americans who call themselves Democrats ought to do like the Alabama heroes at the Huntsville lynching; that is hide more the beds they lay in school clothes. They may assured that the white Democrats are not such fools as to not see through their toddying and funkying. They are Democrats for revenue only and everybody knows it. a H. M. Porter, an Afro-American, has an interest forgress in Hardwick's Georgia district. Hardwick is the man who is working to have the Fifteenth Amendment repealed. It's a pity that there is no chance for Porter's election as the Democrats would count him out even if he had a majority of the votes. Silver-tongued Col. George A. Knight of California says there really isn't any use telling the American people what they have already made up their mind to do. "I look upon Roosevelt as a man who is as good as elector to the presidency and all will be affected of all the politicians will not affect the verdict." Senator-elect Raynor said, recently, that in this country, the races can not coalesce or amalgamate. He said it seriously, seemingly unconscious of the fact that his own city, Baltimore, is fall of living witnesses of the fact that they do amalgamate. Even if laws to restrain them from doeing. ROOSEVELT AGAINST DISCRIM- INATIONS. "So long as the present commissioners continue their official existence, they 'will not make, and so far as in their power lies, will refuse to allow others to make, any discretion in their duties, in any man because of his color, any more than because of his politics or religion."—Reply of Theodore Roosevelt, when civil service commissioner ten years ago, to Congressman Williams, who assailed the Civil Service Commission because white men and black men treated exactly alike by that body. "We would not withhold from the Negro any of his 'rights' but we do not regard the rights of suffrage as one of his rights, or as being essential in any way to the protection of his life or property, or to his pursuit of his happiness."—Charleston News and Courier, the leading Democratic paper of South Carolina. We are very slow to believe that the intelligent voters of Indiana will support an "independent" candidate "furnished them" by the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. We believe that they can see that the "independent" move is a "weak intervention of the enemy," and will act accordingly. If the Filipinos think they would enjoy liberty under a Democratic administration they are very much mistaken. Let some of the brown people come to the United States and travel through the South and they would be consigned to Jim Crow cars and subjected to all sorts of unjust discriminations. The North, Ohio Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, with Bishop Derrick presiding, indorsed President Roevine, and passed resolution characterizing him as the greatest president since the time of Lincoln. The conference urged his re-election. Ex-Gov. Brown of Maryland is making speeches nearly every night, abusing the Afro-American race. The thing that worries Brown more than the race is when Roosevelt is elected some Maryland Afro-Americans will be given office in that state. John Temple Graves is out in an open letter, in which he says: "I am not and I never have been an advocate of lynching." John ought to issue a "key" to his editorial page so he will be able to figure out where he really stands. In opening the campaign in Chicago, Senator Tillman said: "I feel full of despair and I want to throw a few chunks of helpless in your direction." The remark was substantiated by the remainder of his harangue on the race question. Parker and Davis clubs are being formed -Ain Mississippi. Now that the Afro-Americans have been disfranchised and few white Republican votes are counted the reason for such political activity is not clear to the average mind. I cannot consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.— PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. SUPPORTS ROOSEVELT "In all the tortuous evolutions of the centuries there is no group of men to challenge the Magna Charta showing more rapid and permanent progress than that of the American from the eighteenth century on a day's growth. 'Time was when the Aryan dwell in carcass and the seminational segment separated him from the pinnacle of our own day is measured by the same segment that comes to us by long and tortuous paths. Thus society is a pensioner upon the past. Modern society segments thereof to the hindrance of another. That institution which have leapt forward at a prodigious pace. The human family has been placed in a part of which, most perforce, in time and space reach its mean depth and have become welded to the human titles have spotted themselves into history and have become welded to the human titles have spotted themselves into a strenuous marvel at the wonderful pace with which Japan has leapt from feudalism to modernism, in some cases, to the marvelous transformation of the Afro-American under less auspicious conditions of occupying, in some cases, to Right to Intelligence. "Some years ago leading Afro-Americans, viewing the southern states as the southern states to so qualify the suffrage in former slave states, determined to divide that vote among two great parties. Throughout two centuries, Bryan down to defeat. More than 250,000 Afro-Americans in various states voted Afro-Americans in various states voted Afro-Americans. The majority were "silver Republicans." All voted that ticker tape was the measure, feeling against their suffrage in the southern states. Ordinary voters assume prejudices in the interests of rightful political ascendancy, the prosecute those ticker tape voters, those ticker tape voters, more degrading to white men than punishing bones alone remain to horrify our recollection, a factor that will demonstrate the depths of those unreasoning prejudices. For example, Some voters in Charleston, S. C. a city of about 65,000 human souls, 30,000 of whom are African-American, with almost a similar number of voters who identify that unless the majority submits to a condition amounting to 50 percent, that minority would take shotguns and murder that majority. "Mr. John Sharp Williams of the eighth district of the state of Mississippi has been appointed by American Congress over 1,500 votes, cast at a popular election in a disaffected district, the majority being wrongly disfranchised by the operation of unlawful state government, that state, Mr. Vardman was elected to the office of governor, whom the uniform whose leading blank promises to restrict the school privileges of Afro-American children paid by their parents. Thus, condemning those children to densest ignorance and to优待 ultimate peonage—not to say lives of the poor. The Senate has demanded in a recent public declaration, a repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the amendments to the Constitution, the crystallized results of the civil war? The Senate has demanded that 10,000,000 citizens may be reduced to nondescript condition, more hopeless than human slavery itself." At the Episcopal general convention at Boston, J. J. Stotzenberg of New Albany, Ind., a good friend of the race, introduced a resolution condemning. lynching. The Southern J. J. Burton of North Carolina moved that it be laid on the table. This was defeated and the resolution referred to a special committee. Speaker Cannon says that the great trouble in this campaign is the overconfidence of Republicans. In order to win, all true Republicans must work and work hard for the ticket. The progress of the Afro-American people in 30 years of freedom has been greater than that of any other race recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican party. As hope for Parker has gone, Hill, Sisakha, and I will wish Bryan, that is will endeavor to prevent him from regaining the ascendency in the Democratic party which he has had for eight years. The Afro-American can never be charged with ingratitude. He realizes what the Republican party has done for him and will stand by the party in this campaign as he has done in the past. There are 188 Afro-Americans employed in the post office at New York City and they receive $153,982 annually for their services. They are working under the Roosevelt civil service. The South has already disfranchised the Afro-American. Now many prominent Democrats in the North, as well as in the South, favor the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. It Parker should, by some inscrutable care, providence, happen to be elected President, there would be dark days ahead for the dark people of this country. It is fortunate in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people that a man with the courage and humanity of Roosevelt is President. President Roosevelt has handled the reins of government in a masterly manner. The people are satisfied, and he will be elected in November. --- The Macon Telegraph says: "The white South is determined to govern its own without the consent or participation of the black South." The Democratic speakers are garbling President Roosevelt's words in a desperate attempt to make it appear that he advocated lynch law. Afro-Americans in close Congressional districts should work hard to elect Congressmen. We cannot afford to lose a single district. The 596 Afro-Americans employed by the United States treasury department draw salaries aggregating $391,834 per annum. The Republican party in Virginia has suffered severely by reason of the practical elimination of the Afro-American vote. The government printing office at Washington, D. C., employs 320 Afro-Americans, and they earn $210,874 every year. There are ten Afro-American officers in the United States Army under the Roosevelt administration. Bryan's tour of Indiana will make many votes—for Roosevelt. AT LINCOLN'S TOMB. Roosevelt Paid Beautiful Tribute to Afro-American Soldiers. During his trip to the West in 1903, President Roosevelt visited Springfield, Ill. On June 4, after a short parade, the President and visitors were sworn in as the nation's first stood uncovered where the remains of Lincoln lie. Acting as special guards on this occasion was a company of Afro-American troops. After inspecting the monument the President was told he knew few words and in response he said: "It is a very great pleasure for me to see you today, you the veterans in a double sense, you who represent the navy, the union and the army, and regard to any minor differences, should be one in all allegiance. "Let me say one word more. It seems eminently fitting that the guard around the tomb of the man who gave freedom to their race should be composed of Afro-Americans. It was my own good fortune to serve beside Afro-American soldiers at Santiago. I know of a MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED MY BLOOD FOR HIS COUNTRY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE DEAL AFTERWARDS."

E. who then Rev. E. D. Butler joined in holy matrimony Mr. Benjamin T. Bibb and Miss E. L. Woods. "It was the intention to have the ceremony performed in the minister's study and have only intimate friends and relatives of the high contracting parties MARKHAM. District Judge Ramsey County. present, but owning to the popularity of the bride and groom the crowd of friends who came was so large the auditorium of the church had to be thrown open and the ceremony was performed there. The attendants were: Miss Viola Wiley and Mr. Mike Brown. Miss Gertrude Walker played the wedding march from Beethoven. The bride was the recipient of a number of beautiful and useful presents. The young couple left on a wedding tour to Seattle shortly after the ceremony. There are 17,000 Afro-American votes in Indiana. THE NEW YORKER POLITICAL POINTERS. Roosevelt and Dunn are the leaders all delight to follow. If you claim to be a Republican be one and work and vote for Dunn and Roosevelt. All good Republicans are going to vote for R. C. Dunn for governor of Minnesota. What can be gained for Republicans by voting for Democrats? Democrats only take care of their own. Put Republicans in office and they can help you. The women of St. Paul will have an opportunity to vote at the next city election on the proposition to furnish free text books for the school children. The proposition is passed now. Mr. Markham who is a candidate for Judge of the District Court, needs no introduction to the voters of St. Paul, as he has been active in public affairs for many years. He was City Attorney from 1897 to 1903, and has since been active as a candidate for the Republican nomination of which he is now president. Mr. Markham as a public officer has served alike, all classes of people, and the Republican party has shown its appreciation of his services by choosing him as a candidate for the District bench of Ramsey County. He doubtless will be elected. Vote for him. Oscar Hallam, Republican candidate for District Judge of Ramsey County is one of the most popular young attorneys of St. Paul as was shown by his run in the primaries. He has been a prominent member of the Ramsey county bar for many years. He has been an active Republican worker in every campaign. He was prominently mentioned for attorney general during the recent state campaign. He would be able to make the Ramsey Hallam, by reason of his wide acquaintance, personal popularity and high standing as a lawyer, will make a formidable candidate for the bench. Vote for him.

Hanson, Secretary of State—Sr. Pursuant to Chapter 157 of the General Laws of 1887 I herewith file in your office synopses of Amendments to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota, as proposed by the General Laws of the State of Minnesota enacted at the General Session of the Legislature in 1903, and an act involving the taxation of railroad property, being Chapter 253, General Laws 1903, to be submitted to the voters of the state for adoption or rejection at the next general election. Synopsis of Amendments to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota Proposed by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota at the General Session in 1903, as well as a Synopsis of Chapter 253 of the General Laws of 1903 Proposing an Increase of Gross Earnings Tax Upon Railroad Property: I. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 252(6) of Article 10 of the Constitution, the General Laws of 1903, known as Chapter 253 of the General Laws of 1903, present to the electors of the state for rejection or approval Sec. 3. All acts and parts of acts not inconsistent herewith require payment, post-employment or reports involving the amount of taxes upon the gross earnings, or providing penalties for the nonpayment of such taxes, are hereby made applicable to all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Upon failure to pay the amount of such taxes legally due upon the date heretofore provided by law, such acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby enforced. Upon failure to pay the amount of such taxes legally due upon the date heretofore provided by law, such acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are hereby enforced. In a civil action brought in the name of the State of Minnesota in the district court of any county, Sec. 5. Before any railroad company shall be held liable for the validity of this act on any part thereof, such railroad company shall as a condition precedent therefor be held liable for the amount of taxes due or payable from such railroad company under the terms of the state applicable to such company. Sec. 6. This act shall be submitted to the petition of the state for their approval at the next general meeting for the year 1904. (The omitted provisions refer to the method of printing and submitting this act for ratification.) This act provides for an increase in the amount of taxes collected by the state upon the property of the railroads situated within the state from three per cent of the gross earnings derived from the operation of railways within the state to a sum equal to four per cent of the gross earnings derived from the operation of such lines of railway within the state. The annual payment of such sum shall be in full and in lie uof all other taxes and assessments upon the property so taxed. The land taxes shall be by public examination and remain as heretofore exempt from taxation until sold or contracted to be sold or conveyed, as provided in said acts where such grants were recognized. Provision is made in this act whereby the disputed and unpaid taxes on the gross earnings of any railway company within the state may be collected by a civil action brought in the name of the State of Minnesota in any county, or by a court of annulity such civil action is in addition to existing remedies for the collection of the per centum tax upon the gross earnings of railroads within the state. The existing remedy which the State of Minnesota may use in enforcing the payment by any railroad company within the state of any disputed tax is the gross earnings, is by destraint of its movable property by the State Treasurer, and sale of sufficient thereof to satisfy the state's claim. This new method of enforcing the collection of such taxes, proposed by this amendment, will, if adopted, enable the state to secure a speedy and direct judicial detention of any railway company for disputed and unpaid items of gross earnings taxes* Under the terms of the Constitution of the State of Minnesota this act of the legislature must be submitted to the legal voters of the state, and will become operative if adopted by a majority of the electors voting at the next general election. II. By an act of the legislature of the State of Minnesota Act of 1903, known as Chapter 25 of the General Laws of Minnesota of 1908, the same being House File No. 4. it is proposed to amend Section 6 of Article 4 of the Constitution of the State of Minne The existing provision of the Constitution, which is here sought to be amended, is "Sec. 6. The permanent school and university fund, purchase of bonds of any county, school district, city, town or village of the state, is not subject to the condition that the fund be until approved by the board of commissioners designated by the permanent school fund and the permanent university fund of this state; nor when the issue of which the same in part would make the entire bended indebtedness of the county be valuation of the taxable real property of the county, school district, city, town, such funds or indebtedness be made at a TUFFNITURE - STOVES - CARPETS 140-144 E. 7th St. ardozo's HOUSE OF BARGAINS GARLAND STOVES RANGES St. Paul.

It is proposed by said Chapter 25 of the General Laws of 1903 to amend said Section 6 of Article 8 of the Constitution of Minnesota so as to read as follows: Sec. 6. The permanent school and university fund of this state may be used for the education of may county, school district, city, town or village of this state, but not such investment will be allowed under the university board of commissioners designated by law to regulate the investment of the permanent school fund and this state; nor shall such loan or investment be made when the bonds to be issued or purchased was exceed fifteen (15) per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable real property of the school district; nor shall such loans or indebtedness be made at a lower rate of interest than three per cent than five (5) years, nor for a longer period than twenty (20) years, and no change of the town, school district, city, town or village shall relieve the real property in such town, school district, county, village or city in this state at time of the issuing of such bonds from utility for taxation to pay such bonds." By an act of the legislature of the State of Minnesota, approved April 18, 1903, known as chapter 269 of the General Laws of 1903, the same being Senate File 173, it is proposed to amend section 7 of article 1 of the constitution of the State. stitute or institution the section as now existing reads as follows: Sec. 7. "No person shall be held to answer for a criminal offense unless on the present except in cases of impeachment, or in cases cognizable by justices of the peace, or arising in the course of an act of war, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; and no person for the same offense shall be compelled in any criminal case to be witness against himself, nor be deprived of life or property in consequence of law. All persons shall before conviction be bailable by sufficient surtires except for capital offences, or for a punishment great; and the privilege of writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless, when in case of rebellion or invasion, the public safety, may be It is proposed, by said act, to amend said Section 118. The person shall be held to answer for a criminal offense without question, the person shall be compelled to answer the same offense shall be put twice in jeopardy of punishment, nor shall be compelled to answer the same offense himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of justice. The person shall be obligated by sufficient sureties, except for capital offences when the person is the great; and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless the public safety may require. The effect of this amendment, if adopted, will be to give the legislature the power to determine the manner and form of charging persons with the commission of criminal acts. As the constitution now reads, the procedure by which a person is held to answer for a criminal offense is by presentment or indictment of a grand jury or by criminal warrant issued by a justice of the peace. In place of such presentment or indictment of a grand jury, or a written order by a justice of the peace, it is proposed to substitute the procedure which the legislature may deem due process of law. In other words, the legislature will have the power to provide a criminal procedure in conformity with the rights guaranteed by the fundamental law, by which a person shall be held to account for a criminal offense. Such procedure must conform with the requirements of what is due process of law under the Constitution of the United States and the State of Minnesota. The proposed amendment may be made the basis for an act of the legislature authorizing the arrest and prosecution of persons on an information issued by a court of the constitution of a criminal act, establishing Constitution establishes specifically the manner and form of holding a person to answer for a criminal offense. If the proposed constitutional amendment is adopted the legislature may then, within proper constitutional limits, adopt a new method of procedure. W. J. DONAHOWER, Attorney General.
