PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust all men have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. --- SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1906 SENATOR JEFF DAVIS. The wires tell us that Jeff Davis, now governor of the Gol-forsaken state of Arkansas, has been elected by the people to represent that state in the United States Senate. The "people" of Arkansas as described by the Bills in a recent letter are "lazy, indifferent" friend declares, have too much politics and too much religion (perhaps he should say too much of a certain kind of religion!), for, between their campaigns and their churches, they won't much time left to work their farm. They are not Afro-Americans, but white Americans. Such are the people Davis has named "Hill-Billies." These "Hill-Billies" think that "Vote for Jeff" is one of the Ten Commandments and they have elected Davis by a majority of 10,000 because the question is asked because the white primary—the coming "Election" will be a farce. Tillman must now look to his laurels for Jeff has a flow of filthy language which makes the South Carolina slater green with envy. Afro-Americans first speech in the Senate it will be necessary to fumigate the chamber. The effective manner in which the President disposed of the clash-machinery and action of Labor seems to have elected the country throughout the country. These memorial was a weak document when presented to him and there was nothing left when he got through with it. The Federation of Labor is by no means an Aaron's serpent and must not expect to swallow the rest. AN OLD BLACK MAMMY The Atlanta Constitution thus mentions a funeral procession which recently passed through the streets of Midgewood. The procession was headed by Rev. D. W. Brammen, pastor of the Presbyterian church of that city; then the hearse containing all that was mortal of Aunt Mary Marlow, an old Negro woman, was carried to the hearse and had been known in that community. And the palefarers of this old woman, walking by the hearse, were six young white men, sons of the leading families Aunt Mary Marlow belonged to the class of women who, according to toudixon "don't know what virtue is." But it seems that Tom has never seen her. She was the subject of his discovery, or that they considered it too nonexistent to receive any attention. THE APPEAL can not help thinking that if such a brilliant woman as Mrs. Terrell or some Aro-America woman had died in Millidgeville, the Presbyterian pastor and the six young sons of the leading families would not have taken such conspicuous parts in the procession. What recommended her was the fact that she was entirely illiterate and trained by long years of servitude to have no other aspiration than to serve, as a Southern wryter said of another black woman of the same deity. Intelligence in an Aro-America is an offense to the South. FOOL KILLER MISSED HIM. A correspondent of the Richmond Times-Dispatch communicates to that journal some original views respecting the labor situation down South. He says: "The main reason," he says, "for the scarcity of labor is that land is not available to the very class upon whom we depend for laborers. Were not this the case the negroes would have to labor for others for their living. And as to the matter of animus, I hasten to say that, in my judgment, the natural laborer of the South, the negro is not improved in his own condition, but only becomes a peasant farmer of a very low type, of little use to himself or the country." With great consistency, this writer objects to the small farm system, in toto. He longs for "de ole plantation" and desires no small farmers from the North, Italy or anywhere else. And he longs for the real sentiment of death, expressing the real sentiment of the majority of the planters of the South. But he fails to see that the condition of things for which he longs is absolutely unattainable, that the time for such a condition has long gone by. Anyone with a grain of sense can see that his idea that the condition of a farm laborer renting jpd is grotesquely absurd, and probably no one knows that fact better than the writer. THE SEVEN FOLLIES OF SCIENCE THE SEVEN FOLLIES OF SCIENCE A volume has been published from the pen of Mr. John Plin on "The Seven Follies of Science" and seven follies including squirrel the circle, perpetual motion, duplication of the cube, trisection of an angle, alchemy, fixation of mercury, and the elixir of life; they are the follies of people who persist in attempting to do the impossible—London Telegraph. Mr. Plin's book must be a curiosity. It contains as many false implications as possible. To say that squirring the circle is impossible is just as absurd as to say that reducing one-third to a decimal is impossible. The duplication of the cube and the trisection of an angle are substantially, the same problem and the problem was solved hundreds of years ago by Diodes and Niemede, the inventors of the Olmey's Calculus. The difficulty in this case was that the problems could not be solved by Elementary Geometry; not that they were impossible. THE OLD OLD PROJECT. Some of the Southern papers are very indignant because Representative Keifer has arisen to revive "the old, old project, to punish the South." It it happens to be the case that the "old project" is aided States with the Constitution of the United States, which Mr. Keifer is sworn to support, and as he is somewhat of an old fashioned man, he may not think that it is his privilege to support one part and ignore another. Mathematicians speak of the singularities of a curve; and, adopting our language, they may conjecture that it is the work of Mr. Keifer to imagine that he is sworn to support the whole Constitution, old projects and all. Of course the whole thing will come to nothing; in order to keep company with about all of our law, morality and religion. Mene, mene, tekel, upharism, anything but graft has come to nothing. LEGALIZING LYNCHING The Pittsburgh Dispatch notices that a Mississippi state senator has introduced a bill intended to make the lynching legal, which it is reported his colleagues view with favor, and, and, proceed to comment as follows: "The bill for the Federal Constitution so frequently exhibited in Mississippi may be responsible for the failure of this legislator and his approving colleagues to understand that the legalizing of lynching would contravene that important section of the fundamental law passed in a trial by jury and due process of law." It is at once evident that the Dispatch is not aware of the fact that the average Mississippi legislator would not know the Constitution of the United States from a bill of lading, if both the bill and the bill were old thing "do not" down in Mississippi anyway. No pent up Utics contract the powers that be down there. JOB FOR TOM DIXON Some one has suggested the removal of the Jews from Russia, which causes a very prominent member of that sect to remark: To take the Jews out of Russia would be a gigantic problem. Whether would they emigrate? You mention Brazil, Palestine, Uganda. It is a terrible problem. We are thinking of it, but what an upheaval? Look at there. There are more than 6,000,000 Jews. No, as many as the entire population of Pennsylvania. Think of that when the problem of the emigration of the Jews from Russia is discussed. J. B. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, President Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. ARCHBISHOP IRELAND. ARCHBISHOP (RELAND), Prominent American Prelate, now Visiting Rome. We think that it is likely, that Tom Dixon, so soon as he has completed his job of removing ten millions of Afro-Americans from the United States, will be ready to remove the Jews from Russia. Won't you Tom? In its decision in the Caleb Powers case the Supreme Court remarks as follows: "It is true that, looking alone at the case, as made by the petition for protection, we have seen an exhibition of misconduct on the part of administrative officers connected with those trials which may well shock all who love justice and recognize the right of every human being accused of crime be tried according to law." The Supreme Court has the most severe rebuke ever administered by the Supreme Court to a lot of state officials and there is no question to its being well deserved. But Kentucky will probably contend that her officials are no more lawless than those in states and strut around as big as ever. "If the negroes were allowed to vote Tennessee would be a republican state, but that will never be. The white republicans of east Tennessee have about 35,000 majority. Middle Tennessee and west Tennessee have the majority and west Tennessee, with its immortal colored population, gives about 10,000 democratic majority, whereas it is easily 10,000 republican if the negro were allowed to vote and have his vote recognized. THE APEAL is not prepared to admit that "the will never be." It is easily conceivable that the choice of President, or the complexion of congress may turn upon the vote of Tennessee. Should such ever be the case, it would see what might be the consequences. The Afro-American Ledger advances the following argument: "As soon as the Afro-Americans of any town own a majority of the wealth of that town discriminations of all kinds against that race will cease because they will compel it to cease, by the fact that the race will not discriminate against itself and no lawmaking that the world can compel any man to discriminate against his own interests." The Afro-Americans of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, own ninety per cent of the wealth of that town, but that does not exempt them from the operation of the Jim Crow laws and grandfather clauses of the state. The Jews are the financiers of Europe but that does not exempt them from the Jim Crow laws of Russia and other European countries. The Chinese embassador to the United States, Baron Hayashi, embassador to Great Britain from Japan and Gen. Corbill, all concur in attributing the threat of a terrorist against foreigners to the conduct of the senioraries, more than to anything else. The excellent personages seem to have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. Moreover, they are abundant in the use of color-prejudice; and, in consequence, it in all their intercourse with the celestials. What the Chinnan regards as sacred, they treat with contempt. And worst of all they resemble the old Chinese, who are often the breaching bride. They are usually backed by a battalion of men with rapid firing guns. The Chinese are sure to heat them, but cannot appear to resist their eastern civilization. NO WINGS-BUT GETS THERE. NO WINGS-BUT GETS THERE. Just about the time when Jeff Davis, Vardaman and Tillman finish up an elaborate demonstration that the Afro-American is no good, nohow, some one of the race pops up in some part of the country, does something to show "the rogues they lie" For instance a Missouri AfroAmerican, Charles S. L. Baker, after 23 years of strenuous effort, has just invented a friction heater which, it is said will work wonders in reducing the cost of heat. A company capitalized at a million and a half of dollars has been formed to manufacture the heater, but it doesn't have no wings at all, but gets there just the same" as if the men we have named did not exist. With all due respect for the wisdom of President James, we cannot keep thinking that his plan to make the Chinese love us by importing Chinese students to be placed in our schools, as wise as the attempt to extract sunshine from the sky, but the very best way to make a Chinese hate the United States is to bring him into close contact with the race prejudice which dominates everything in this country, not excepting courts, churches and colleges. The Chinaman might not learn anything else, but he would certainly learn to hate this com- EMMETT J. SCOTT, Private Secretary to Dr. Booker T Washington. Some of the Southern newspapers have taken special pains to commend the deocrum which was observed in the management of the Chattanooga lynching so it seems a pity that it butted the August tribunal may not regard the Tennessee methods with the same admiration which they excited at home and may even uphold its dignity. With flaming headlines the daily parades parade the wrong doings of the Afro-American endeavoring to inflame the whites against the race. That the whites are guilty of all the crimes in the dealogue is evidenced by the choice lot of extracts clipped from Caucasian papers and printed in this issue of THE APPEAL. The old saying of "Dog eat dog" was finally illustrated the other day when Chinese built a Standard on launch. Those heathen Chinese will never become civilized. Devillish, Dirty-Doings of Representatives of the "Superior" Race. Caucasian Church Conduct. **Church Record Herald.** Bluefield, W. Va. April 2.—Blood-shed sheds the causing of a social at the Methodist Episcopal church at Coaldae, near here, to-right.

April 1.—Chief of Police Joseph S. Stiles shot and killed himself in a deserted building on the outskirts of the city last night. His body was 50 years old, and had a family, was recently investigated by the grand jury in connection with a statutory charge, combined with the giving of liquor to young girls. **Brute Killed Little Girl.** *(Chicago Journal Local.)* The girl who terrorizes the school-girls in South Chicago first appeared at the Polish Catholic school at Eighty-third street and Superior avenue. She room and was crossing the courtyard to another building when the ruffian suddenly confronted her. The little girl attempted to scream. When he placed his hand over her mouth, the girl's little girl's head struck the fence at the rear of the courtyard. Although stunned she continued to struggle. Like an infuriated beast the man kicked and pummeled her and finally bit her nose that the blood streamed down her face. Caucasian Connell's Conduct Coarse (Other than Chrysanthemum Special) (Chicago Chronicle Special. Lamar, Bill) Woolley Connell, former pastor of the Presbyterian church at Lamar, is held for trial on a charge of immoral conduct. John Boyle was arrested Saturday by Policeman Daniel Murphy of the Stockyards station on complaint of two young men accused Boyle of taking them while they were in front of their homes. The girls who made the complaint are Etta Star, 11 years old, 5630 Emmer and Katie Star, 12 years old, 5622 Emeral avenue. Hackensack, N. J., Apr. 2—Ernest A.

Tony Lisi, who it is alleged attempted to kidnap a little girl on a West elevated train, was dragged from the train to the dimumbers, and would have been roughly handled had not the police interfered and arrested him. NOVEL BASKETS FOR FLOWERS. Made of Fine Straw, with Glass Vases Made to Fit Inside. French water baskets are a novelty with florists. They are woven of fine straw in dainty shapes and colors and are fitted inside with a glass vase conforming to the straw covering and holding it upright. The baskets are a welcome change from the vase or jar/driller, and some of the color combinations possible with the new arrangement are exquisite. A pale green straw basket, for instance, is filled with lilies of the valley and delicate green leaves; a pikh straw with delicate green shape contains pink flowers and white lilies; a white basket is filled with mignonette and forget-me-nots; a pale yellow straw holds tulips of red and gold, and a basket of delicate mume forms a receptacle for purple orchids. From the maidenhair fern a palatable tea is brewed. NOMINATING PETITIONS FILED. Senator Cullom has 121,000 names on List: Yates secured 24,000 signers.

President Mechanics Savings Bank, Richmond, Va. TUSKEGEE Celebration of the Twentyfifth Anniversary Views of Prominent People on the Results of the Work. Tuskegee, April 3—The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute celebrates this year the twenty-fifth anniversary of its work among the Afro-Americans of the Black Belt. The formal opening of its three day celebration begins tomorrow, but the exercise really begins last Sunday with the anniversary session by Rt. Rev. William Croswell Doane, Bishop of Albany. Edwards, at Snow Hill, Ala. Mr. Edwards graduated in 1893. He started the school in 1894 in the village where he was born. The total enrollment at Snow Hill this year has been 320. The school employs 22 teachers, and teaches 13 industries. In addition to the 324 acres of land the school has 14 buildings and property valued at $43,000. Its exhibit included examples. Extended preparations have been made to show to visitors what the school has accomplished during the twenty-five years of its existence. The school was started twenty-five years ago in an abandoned church and a hen house. These buildings have long since disappeared but there still photographs of these buildings and from the archives the memory of those teachers on the ground who still remember the early days of the school replicas of these buildings have been constructed. The church has been turned, for the purpose of the celebration, into an exhibition building. In this building has provided a vast amount of information to people and about the larger schools which have been established or conducted by Tuskegee students. Six industrial schools established in different parts of the South made exhibitions of their work. The first of these was The Topeka Industrial Institute of Topeka, Kansas. This school was started in 1854 by R. Carter, who graduated from Tuskegee in 1883. The school was not started until some years after. Among the other exhibits of the school is the work of class in tailoring. This is the only school where tailoring is done. The school was founded in 1897 by Denmark, S. C., was founded in 1897 by Miss Lizzie E. Wright, who graduated in 1894. This school has now something like 300 students. Its exhibit included examples of work in millinery, mattress making, carpentry, and leatherworking. Two other schools, Hawkinsville Institute of Hawkinsville, Ala., founded by W. D. Floyd, a graduate of 1887, and the Port Royal Agricultural School of Beaufort, S. C., of which Joseph Franklin is principal, and who taught poultry and plain sewing respectively. The most interesting exhibit was perhaps, that of the Robert Hungerford Normal and Industrial School, at Eatonville, Fla. This school was established by Russel Calhoun, who graduated in 1896. The school was started in February, 1899. Among the interesting articles exhibited was of grape fruit, mandarins and danges of grape fruit, and of fine needle-work and among other things a petticoat, made very neat and prettily, of the legs of old stockings. This school exhibited also some interesting examples of basket work, baskets made of Raffia and of pine needles. The interesting thing about the work was the many devices which the school had employed to make use of the materials of the hand, the reeds in the swamps, the long grasses and the pine needles. The largest school established by Tuskegee graduates is that by W. J. HON. D. AUGUSTUS STRAKER, Prominent Lawyer of Detroit, Mich., Author of Legal Text Books. Edwards, at Snow Hill, Ala. Mr. Edwards graduated in 1893. He started the school in 1894 in the village where he was born. The total enrollment the school has been 320. The school employs 220 teachers 13 industries. In addition to the 324 acres of land the school has 14 buildings and property valued at 10,000. Exhibit included examples of plain seams, dressmaking, millinery, carpentry, printing, laundering and blacksmithing. Another interesting exhibit is that which has been set up in the Historical Room of the Carnegie Library, set for the preservation of relics illustrating the history and growth of the school. Among the objects in this exhibition is a collection of photographs taken at the time of President McKinley's visit to Tuskegee December 1888, another collection taken at the time of President Roosevelt's visit, October 24, 1912, one says written by the first student of the school; the first wagon made by a student at Tuskegee; a pine knot made as the students used to burn to study by in the early days; the first wood on the grounds and used by Mr. Robinson for many years in his office; the number of other articles of similar character. One of the most interesting exhibits which the anniversary celebration has called out is that of John Robinson, who went out to Torgo, German West Africa, six years ago to teach the natives cotton growing. He came back this year to visit his old home and enjoy a celebration. He brought back with him some very interesting examples of the manufactures of the native people. The Exhibit on Africa, which was recently presented to the Tuskegee Historical Room by Mr. J. W. Robinson, a graduate of Tuskegee, in the class of 37 and who has been employed for six years by the German Government in the cultivation of cotton in Togo, Africa, includes and by the people of Togo, of Dahomey, by the Yoruba, Hausa and a coast tribe whose local name is Ewe. Many of the fabrics are very beautiful. The carvings, the work in leather, particularly that of the Hausa people, show that the importation of European made garments and native arts and crafts. It indicates these people have a much higher order of skill that is usually attributed to them. The most elaborate exhibit prepared to commemorate the school's anniversary is a series of charts which describe the life of the "little chapel." There are two series of these charts; one exhibits the salient facts in regard to the development of Tuskegee, and the other is a series of charts showing their progress since emancipation. One of these charts shows the occupations of the heads of households from which Tuskegee students come. The heads of families are the larger farmers who own some part of the land they till.

Principale Winston is constantly on the phone with patrons and especial attention is paid to beginners. A large crowd attended the Universal Spiritual mission at Central Annex hall Sunday evening. The president of the mission, Reis, was wonderfully pleased and invited it into a regularly organized Spiritual church to bear the name of the Universal Spiritual mission and appointed Rev. J. R. White pastor and district deputy over the Winniets. The success of the mission under the charge of Rev. White has been phenomenal. It has only been organized about three months and from a small number the congregation has grown to numbers that overflow the HERBERT P. KELLER. Republican Candidate for Assembly man.

Francis, thanks to the faithfulness of his friends, was nominated as a Republican candidate for the assembly. His vote was quite flattering as it was greater than five other votes, some of whom were old politicians, and not many public. But the fight has only begun; he must receive more votes on May 1st then he did at the primaries to be elected, so let all his friends continue to work and if the right sort of work is done his election is assured. There were many petitions he did vote at the primaries, and many who voted the Democratic ticket at the primaries who will vote for Mr. Francis on election day.

With pleasure it is announced to the readers of THE APPEAL the advent of a new business enterprise in the form of an undertaking establishment location on the West Coast. The progress of the Afro-Americans in the different lines of business has been noted for many years with great pleasure. Some who have placed their names and wares before the people of Africa have been criticized but their places have been filled in. A successful future may be predicted. It has been a subject for speculation among the thinking people why a city of the size of St. Paul, with an Afro-American population of over 3500 has no one of their number in the underdeveloped areas, and is acceptably in that direction, but in the development of race pride it will doubtless be agreed to that in the preparation for, and the interment of our loved ones who have been called before, and the interment of our people, will better meet our approval. Messrs. T. H. Lyles and W. B. Elliott both well known and highly respected citizens, have decided to try to fill that long felt want and to that end have begun business this week as Funeral Directors and Embalmers. They have complained and have complied with all the requirements of the state and City Boards of Health. They were highly complimented upon the standing they made in the examinations at the State University. They respectively solicit any orders in the undertaking line with the assurance that such orders will be attended to promptly and the best possible manner.

Altho feeling deeply impressed by your sympathy I must not hesitate to return it. And in doing so, I do not want to coerce you. I am haughty or ungrateful, but I felt that charity should be dispensed where it is the most needful. And in my case this requirement is, at this time, premature. Through the kindness of my Heavenly friend, I am able to look after myself and I would feel it unjust to take charity at; this time, when it could be used somewhere, where it would lift a burden from some one oppressed, worthy soul. Please accept my thanks in the true Christian spirit. I am grateful to you. I am just as thankful for the interest shown as though I needed it and had requested assistance from you.

New York, April 12, 1906, ‘Tuskegee Institute is a notable achievement. If the organizing and ad- ministrative skfil displayed there is contrasted with the lack of all such power found among the Negroes of Africa, one appreciates that the Afro- American has already gained by con- tact with the white man. That this skill has been shown in the construc- tive work of Education is signitacant for it shows that the Afro- American is animated by the ambition to do better yet. That it has taken the form of in- dustrial education is equally striking, for this shows, that, to the Afro-Amev- ican, work., which formerly meant servitude now spells progress, Seth Low, HON. T. W. JONES. Ex-County Commissioner, Chicago, III. Chicago, April, 1, 1906. In connection with the 25th anniver. sary of the Tuskegee Institute, permit ine to observe that for long years after Booker T, Washington had established the institution, Industrial Education was in much distavor by pulpit and press: was widely discussed in_max azine articles and adversely criticised by many prominent educators. But the day of stress and strain for the new system has passed—it no longer provokes widespfead hostility from any source, The statement has been repeatedly made and never de- nied, that the Tuskegee Institute for Negtoos is the largest of its kind; Where more things are taught and Better taught than in any other In- stitution In the world, Theodore W. Jones. HON. J. C. NAPIER ville, Tenn, Nashville, Tenn..April, 1, 1906. When the proper estimate shall have been placed upon industrial education, when the work of this school shall have had time to take root and bear its frult, it will be conceded by us all that the Negro’s real emancipation had its beginning when Booker 'T. Wash- ington founded ‘Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. For no people can ever be free unless there is instilled in them a spirit of manhood, a feeling of independence and a consciousness of solf-reliance that will animate and in- spire them not only to face all the re- sponsibilities and duties of life but to shoulder them, to take hold of them and make the most out of existing conditions whatever they may be. When the real relations of industrial and higher education are properly un- derstood and looked at from a practical and not from a theoretical view point every opposition to Tuskegee’s_ meth: oris will cease; and where there is now so much friction and war peace and tranquility will reign and all will be united in the effort to promote the same end, J.C, Napier. T. FHOMAS FORTUNE, Editor of New York Age. New York, April 3, 1906. When Dr. Washington began’ work in the Black Belt of Alabama, twenty- five years ago, and put into practice the theory of ‘industrial education at the Tuskegee Institute, the theozy was not acceptable to the Afro-Americans or the Angio-Americans of the South- ern States, and was not in general practice in the other States of the Republic. Now the theory is accept- eq in all of the States as a vital part of educatiom and has beeome a part of the educational system of the coun- try. Dr. Washington has done more than any other man in the country to accomplish this revolution. ‘The value of a theory can only be shown by. the demonstrated practicability of ft. ‘Tus Kegee Institute has furnished this demonstration through the genius -of Booker 'T. Washington. Yours truly, T, Thomas Fortune. KELLY MILLER, Professor of Mathematics, Howard University. Washington, D. C., Apr. 2, 1906. Replying to your request for a word touching Tuskegee Institute, 1 would say that U glory in the success which ‘has come to this important and strik- ing educational agency during the past twenty-five years, and trust that the present celebration may add to its eff. eieney and power for good, 1 will re- peat here what I have said elsewhere: Poe aR ES SRY oe moo NTE MSGR TG SL ag Rae a a Open for Business as Usual Notwithstanding any rumors you may have heard tothe contrary. It’s “off with the old” and “on with the new’—the NEWEST of the new at that, bought within the last few weeks, when _ the real styles for spring and summer were properly defined, and not months ago when it was problematical what would be the proper things. Another strong point—the season for manufacturers and importers is practically over, and if we know our business and we think we do, buying for spot cash we are today in a position to create a commo- tion in Twin City merchandising which we will certainly de. Our stocks are by no means complete as yet, but every day—almost every hour—and nearly every train arriving adds something todelight theeye and please the purse of discriminating buyers. A daily visit will be ~ advisable for the next few weeks if you want the very newest and hest for the least money. J. G. LUND. J. F.
