The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no words 3- It corrects misunderstandings are able and energetic AMERICA'S TWO GREATEST SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE Generals Funston and Perishing Once More in the Limelight. VOL. 22. NO. 43. The day of the soldier of fortune is not past. Some, when reading novels regarding the swash-bucklers of old, think of them as connected with conditions which are long since gone. The ability to win a place at the head of an army by one single brilliant feat is generally assigned to by-gone centuries, yet the names of two men, who in an amazingly short time have gone to the top in the military service of the United States, prove that just in the past the soldier of fortune can sit in his place over night. Gen. Frederick Funston and Gen. John J. Pershing. Eight years ago, before the Spanish American war, these names were unknown. Funston began as an insignificant school teacher, yet now so strong a place has he won for himself that at the first threat of trouble Funston is the man of the hour, the first to be called to the front by Uncle Sam. He aided the American forces to triumph in Cuba. Aguinaldo, the Filipino chieffatin, had to be captured. Funston was the man assigned to the job and he succeeded. The upset conditions of San Francisco after the recent upheaval made necessary a man who could restore order. Funston was called to the task, and made child's play of it. Now hardly is this work done. The uncle Sam has detached him to Cuba in being back hawking conditions there. No matter how much his enemies may bellieht him, the diminutive general, the "little game cock," as he is called, is the man for the task that is so hard that everybody else shirks it. Pershing has just attracted attention through an extraordinary promotion. He was jumped over the heads of 862 officers, who were ahead of him in the line of promotion, in order that he might be made a brigadier general at once, without waiting for the telltious process that would make him one in the regular order. The act is said to have been inspired by President Roosevelt, who has appreciated Gen. Pershing's great military ability. Except in the case of Gen. Funston, who made a brigadier from the volunteers after the ado, there is no other instance upon record where bravery and efficient service have been so promptly or so extensively rewarded. After this no one ought ever to say that it is hard to make rapid advancement in a military career. No man in any business could expect to go to the top in less than a decade of actual service, yet this is what has been accomplished by these two soldiers of fortune, and although we have had a little fighting to do in that time, there has been nothing very紧凑ous for a great nation like ours, and therefore no great opportunities for our military men. In connection with both men it ought to be remembered that while each had his share of Fortune that it was not the Goddess of Fortune alone that lifted them to exalted rank. Funston went through many hardships before he came to his present rank, and not the least of his valuable qualities has been the willingness to take without complaint whatever service might be assigned him. Although credited to Kansas from GEN. FREDERICK FUNSTON, As he appeared just previous to joining the army. the fact of his long residence there, Funston was born in Kansas, Ohio. No man could have seemed less fitted for military service. In person he is so much undersized for an army officer as to seem a joke, for he is only five feet four inches in height, but Napoleon was small, too, and the same qualities of boundless courage that marked the greatest of soldiers is the The Old Home of a Writer, On the 1st of last April the childhood home in Lower Alleghey of Margaret Deland, the celebrated authoress, passed into the hands of a steel concern, and great inroads have been made on the picturesque beauty of the building and "The Old Garden," which the authoress tenderly recalls in an early book of verse. The house is now used for storage, toolrooms, and workman's outfits. The roomy vignette front porch has been torn away and a crane and pulley up. strongest attribute of this American soldier. For a time Funston knocked about in search of his right calling. He was a newspaper reporter, and spent time in government service, going on botanical excursions to Montana and Alaska. In both these trips he underwent hardships with the same stolal endurance that has marked his conduct since he became a soldier. Then the Cuban war reached a point where it enlisted the sympathy of veterans Americanes who did not see fit to wait until the United States government got into action, but went ahead to give what help they could. Funston corresponded with the Cuban junta and was awarded a commission as captain of artillery in the Cuban army. At first his command consisted of one gun. But it was not the habit of the little Kansan to be content with little things. In eight months he was lieutenant colonel and in command of all the artillery in Gomez's army. During those eighteen months of unpaid service with the insurgents his left arm was broken by a fragment of a shell, he got Mauser bullets through both his lungs, and spent three months in a jungle hospital, where, just to help his convalescence a bit he contracted typhoid fever. Next a fall from a horse resulted in an obstinate abscess, and finally he was captured by the Spaniards, and it was only his ablilty to tell a good story and stick to it that saved him from a volley against a stone wall. As it was, the Spaniards thought he had given them such valuable information, which he had, except for the ad MRS. PERSHING, (nee Helen Warren.) objective, and released him, whereupon he made his way back to New York and at once entered a hospital "to be cut into thin slices and sewed together again," as he wrote a friend. At the end of the Spanish-American war, in which Funston was an early volunteer, and in which he distinguished himself in many engagements, he did not immediately apply for a commission in the United States army, but every prominent American soldier who had figured in the brief engagement had made the discovery that Funston was the kind of material that was needed in the country's military service. His next job was to be sent to the Philippines, to effect the capture of Aguinaldo, who, it will be remembered, was pursuing particularly vexing guerrilla warfare against the United States. It looked like a hard job for a volunteer, for numerous other regular army leaders had failed in the same assignment, but it wasn't part of the Funston plan to ask questions or caval. He set to work on the problem and arranged his own scheme of doing the trick. Through intercepted correspondence he learned the strength of Aguinaldo's force, and also that he was waiting reinforcements. He conceived the idea of arming a number of native troops to pass off as part of these reinforcements, and thus by craft trap the lilipino chieftain in his hair. Letters were forged in the name of Lucana, one of Filippine generals, telling Aguinaldo that troops were on the way. Aguinaldo was completely deceived. paratus projects from the third story window. The fences about "The Old Garden" are down, shrubbery has been uprooted and destroyed, and trees damaged. A freight siding runs close to the house and a weigh station has been built on the grounds just opposite the side porch. All about the timber, tackle, and tools which herald the irresistible advance of manufacture and trade. "Reading" Hall Caine. On one Hall Caine's visits to this THE APPEAL. When Funston, at the head of his force, came within eight miles of Aguinaldo's camp, his men were so completely done out by their long march that they were unable to go further, and sent word to the Filipino president that he should lend aid. Aguinaldo, supposing them to be his newly arrived troops, went in person with a small body guard to meet his friends. Then the deception was abandoned. Funston's men fired into the body guard of the Filipino leader and made him a prisoner. Aguinaldo at first raved, but eventually accepted the situation. Sentimentalists criticized Funston for the deception he used, but the fact remains that the little general did what many others had failed to do, and what he had been sent out to accomplish, and rid the United States of GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING, Who has been promoted over 862 higher officers. the strongest factor for continuing trouble in the Philippines, and this knowledge was baim enough for any unkind things that might be said. It also made Funston a fixture in the regular army, as a commission was virtually thrust upon him shortly after. Funston faced a different problem at San Francisco after the fire and earthquake. There his deeds called for administrative, rather than military skill, but the again rose to the situation. His knowledge of the Cubans makes him the ideal man to cope with any situation that may arise in the island of perpetual unrest. Pershing's rise has been almost equally rapid. Nine years ago he was an obscure instructor in tactics at West Point. The outbreak of the Spanish-American war sent his to Santiago. After the war he was appointed chief ordnance officer and was then out of service for awhile through illness. Then for a period he was busied with prosaic department detail, until in 1800 he was made an adjutant general, and placed in the Philippines, and placed in charge of the districts of Jolo and Mindanao. This was Pershing's opportunity, and he seized it with the speed of the true soldier of fortune. On the island of Sulu he reigned as a veritable czar, and kept the sultan and his followers in subjection, not less by his diplomacy than by his military valor. He studied the Koran deeply in order that he might deal out justice that would content the disciples of Mohammet. When yet uprings demanded campaigns, he was again on the job, and in a number of bloody engagements he gained a fame for valor that has sent him whirling to the top of Uncle Sam's service. It was Pershing who, with a small force of men invaded the mountainous and so overwhelmingly defeated them that no trouble from that source has been experienced since. Many Languages of Buenos Ayres. There are few cities in the world having newspapers, of varied tongues, than Buenos Ayres. Altogether the number of dailies, weekdays, montiles and irregulars published in the republic fluctuates about 180. Besides, of course, the "national" language, with its wide divergencies from Spanish, there are papers published in Castallian, in Catalan, in Italian, French, German and English, in Basque, in Norwegian and in Danish, in Arabic, Syrian, Hebraic, Sevician and in several dialects, while in the Chubut territory the Welsh organ has considerable sale and influence. An Odd Marine Disaster A Geerman marine disaster of an extraordinary character is reported. The good ship Agathe, from Hamburg, laden with barley, reached Elbing, where the shipyards are, and was beating up the Elbing river. An ox watched the vessel from the bank. A sudden squall carried the ship a little off her course, with the result that she collided with the ox, impaling it on the jibhob, "from which it was removed with difficulty." country a banquet was given in his honor in a certain city and Thomas Nelson Page was invited to introduce the guest of the evening. Just before the toasts began Mr. Page's right-hand neighbor passed his menu around the table with the request that Caine should lead the usual "autographeing" with his signature. "Good idea," said Page. "I'll send my menu card along, I'll get to introduce Hall Caine in a few minutes and I want to be able to say I have read he has written." TEACHING ARTS OF WAR TO REGULARS AND MILITIA SCOUTING "BLUES" COMING ALONG ONE OF THE ROADS Near Mt. Gretna, where military problems are worked out on the scale of actual warfare. Uncle Sam has been making his first experiment in teaching the arts of war to regulars and state militia together on the vast plains of actual campaigning at Camp Roosevelt at Mt. Gretna, Pa. Maneuver camps are nothing new, either here or abroad. But Camp Roosevelt is more than a maneuver camp. It is a camp of instruction as well. It is a gathering of federal troops and national guardsmen from various states on an equal footing to be taught problems of war, not merely to participate in spectacular battles with blank cartridges. In this respect it is a departure from the methods hitherto undertaken at military encampments in the United States and in foreign countries as well. It is a step far in advance of any that has ever been taken heretofore by the armies of the world. The selection of a camp site for the department of the East was, the all important question that confronted the war department when congress authorized this instruction camp. Without much hesitation it was decided to try Mt. Gretna as an experiment, with a few of selecting a permanent camp. Pennsylvania has for several years held the award of the highest rank. Mt. Gretna is half a night's ride from New York city, headquarters of the department of the East. It is located on the Cornwall and Lebanon railroad, which travels through the beautiful Lebanon valley of Pennsylvania. One steps from the train and gets the first glimpse of the camp through the dense foliage of great white oaks and chestnut trees. As far as the eye can see the beautiful green hills, one rising above the other like great terraces, are dotted with tents of khaki brown, or canvas white. Regimental flags here and there mark the headquarters of regulars and national guards alike. Far over these camp grounds of the infantry, are the cavalry and artillery quarters. Just above, these on the summit of another great terrace-like hill, the signal corps and engineers are encamped. SCOUTING "BLUES" COMING A Near Mt. Gretna, where military probi- ctual w and from the top of a giant oak tree comes the chatter of the wireless telegraph, used here for the first time in the signal service. Away above all is the highest point of the camp where Gen. Frederick Dent Grant and his staff are quartered. From his threshold he can sweep the entire camp with field glasses. Gen. Grant as camp headquarters gave a comprehensive statement as to the plans, scope and purposes of the camp. "This is a camp of instruction," he said, "and is the first we have ever had that brought troops of the regular army and the state troops together to learn real warfare. "There have been, and are now menneuer camps in the country, but they are not camps of instruction in the sense I mean. We take up the advanced drills here, going just beyond what troops in garrison are supposed to learn, and then we make a progressive drill lasting one week, each phase leading to another phase, forming what may be termed a campaign, and ending on Friday in a problem, which must be met and fought out by the opposing forces, which we call the 'blues' and the brownies." "These forces are distinguished by having some of the soldiers wear their blue shirts and the others their brown blouses. The settlement of the Didn't Know Wife's Purse. In response to an advertisement printed in a local paper two women called on J. H. Noble, a grocery of Oak Park, Chicago, and claimed a pocket-book which he had found in his store. Before the grocer had time to solve the puzzling problem his wife entered the store and seized the purse, exclaiming: "Why, that's mine. Where did you get it? The other two women left the store without further argument. GEN. FREDERICK DENT GRANT, At headquarters, Mt. Greta, where he commands the first instruction camp of regulars and militia.

Gretna. The ground is fashioned by nature for a camping place in regard to the pitching of tents and fitting up the settlement generally. It is much better to be in a rolling country like this than to be on a wide-stretching plain, or to be in a wild, mountainous country." When Gen. Grant was directed to bring out troops from the various garrisons and forts in his department K DENT GRANT, the commands the first instruction ars and militia. and gather them at Mr. Gretta, he marched the infantry the first 200 miles of its journey, and then the rest of the way by train. The cavalry and artillery marched 300 miles of the journey before boarding trains for the Pennsylvania camp. Here was something new in the way of going from garrison to garrison, and it served to reveal the fact that the United soldiers are "soft," many of them falling out of line on the long marches. Many horses also gave way, and things could have been more beneficial in these cross-country marches, for they that garrison son life in American forts and barracks does not keep the individual soldier sufficiently hardened to make a long march. Hereafter there will be many such tramps for the regulars. Camp Roosevelt has been in operation about a month, and has been attended by 3,000 to 4,000 regulars permanently, and by from 6,000 to 8,000 state troops who make weekly stays there, and there has not been one case of serious illness in the hospital. **An Ameer of Talent.** Habibulla Khan, the ameer of Afghanistan, has considerable architectural skill, and is said to design his palaces.

WASHINGTON THE CITY OF MAGNIFICENT DISTANCES. A Collection of Events Occurring Among the People of the Capital of This Great and Glorious Nation and Condensed for our Readers. Special Correspondence THE APPEAL Washington, Oct. 23—At a meeting of the board of management at Richmond, Va., in which plans were submitted by five Afro-American architects for their building at the Jamestown Exposition, the plans of W. Shiney Pittman, of Washington, were selected as ranking first. The Howard Law School Alumni Association held a meeting Friday evening, and elected the following officers: Fountain Peyton, '90, president; Louis G. Gregory, '02, first vice president; George H. De Reef, '05, second vice president; Edmund A. Pugh, third vice president; Thomas Walker, '15, treasurer; Charles S. Hill, '06, recording secretary; George F. Collins, '01, financial secretary; Thomas J. Price, corresponding secretary. The persistent report that Superintendent Chancellor has under considered the probable recommendation of William E. Boisso, the Atlanta educator, for the assistance in charge of the Afro-American schools of this city, is declared to be without the slightest foundation. J. Max Barbour, the editor, who was out of Atlanta for telling the truth about the Atlanta mobs murdered, told the story of the massacre to an immense audience at Metropolitan church. At Vermont Avenue Baptist Church Sunday afternoon the anniversary of William Washington Brown, founder of the United Order of True Reformers of the United States was observed, Pricing the book Q and R streets. An annual sermon to the Washington order was the feature of the occasion. A large party assembled at True Reformers' Hall at 1:30 o'clock and marched in a body to the church. On the platform were Q and R streets. On the platform were W. R Griffin, W. P. Burrell of Richmond, Va., Maurice Rouselle, Rev. W. D. Jarvis, Rev. D. D. Johnson and Rev. George W. Lee. The program included scripture reading, by Rev. W. D. Jarvis, scripture reading, by Rev. W. Lewis, music selection, by chair; introduction of W. R. Griffin as master of ceremonies, by M. M. Peace; sermon by Rev. George W. Lee; musical selection by the chair; monument to W. W. Brown, and an image of Mr. W. P. Burrell of Richmond, Va. Rev. Harry Howard, the missionary who harry the gas in the missionary house given to the Philadelphia House League Thursday night rendered unconscious, died at the Emergency Hospital Tuesday afternoon about 5 o'clock. When he was taken to the hospital the physicians realized that his condition was serious that he might possibly receive treatment, worse occurred later in the day, however, and death followed. The elderly minister, who resided at Muskegan, I. T., came here to attend to some personal business. He had anticipated that he would be in the city and had arranged to meet some of the local Baptist ministers. One Colonel Thompson of Chattanooga, has submitted to President Roosevelt a proposition that the idle, shiftless Afro-Americans of the south be set to work digging the Panama canal. The great industrial progress of the country has compelled the president "has left us without labor, and need fresh blood badly, both in our factories and on our farms. We must have immigration of a better class, but the trouble now is that the best class of immigrants are deterred from the work because of the crimes committed by idle and shiftless Negroes who make the race issue in the south. The working Negro is respected and encouraged, and we want him to remain, but we are going to get rid of the other class, no matter how it is done. I think they are not the Panama and made to work there. How they are told the President and Secretary Taft that I believe the coming immigration conference of southern men could work out a plan by which the vagrant class of Negroes arrested in southern cities could be induced to work there. How are they arrested now they are passed along from one place to another by police judges fining them or giving them the alternative of leaving town. Thus they are shifted from one place to another. Couldn't some sort of a law be passed to sentenced for vagrancy could be sent along to Panama, largely by his own consent? Couldn't the judges trying these cases co-operate with the federal government and the contractors building the canal in some way so as toId the south of the curse it is now perfectly willing to go. He would be delighted, as he would be paid wages in Panama. The "President and Secretary Taft could not understand how a plan of this kind could be written, no way committed themselves to it." D. H. W. Defective Page "Have you any fireworks suitable for small children?" asked the young n other. "Yes, ma'am," replied the dealtr.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1906. Seator Tillman has made a lecturing tour through the country and, of course, so important an event has had results some of which THE AP-PEAL proposes to tabulate, as our minister used to say. 1. The Senator is supposed to say it is said, the neat sum of $25,000, which has made him a bigger fool than Thompson's colt. 2. Senator Tillman has shown him- A Litany of Atlanta Silent God, Thou whose voice afar in mist and mystery hath left our ears an-hungered in these fearful days— Hear us, good Lord! Listen to us, Thy children: our faces dark with doubt, are made a mockery in Thy sanctuary. With uplifted hands we front Thy heaven, O God, crying: We are not better than our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and human men. When our devils do deviltry, curse Thou the doer and the deed: curse them as we curse them, do to them all and more than ever they have done to innocence and weakness, to womanhood and home. And yet whose is the deeper guilt? Who made these devils? Who nursed them in crime and fed them on injustice? Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public iniquity? Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guide be easier than innocence, and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty? Justice, O Judge of men! Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead? Have not seers seen in Heaven's halls Thine hearsed and lifeless form stark amidst the black and rolling smoke of sin, where all along bow bitter forms of endless dead? Thou art not dead, but flown afar, up hills of endless light, thru blazing corridors of suns, where worlds do swing of good and gentle men, of women strong and free—far from the cozenage, black hypocrisy and chaste prostitution of this shameful speck of dust!

AND THE APPEAL predicts that if his prediction is verified, the Senator will vamse, skedaddle shin up a stump and call on "all the Yankees between God and Hour to quickly trek down in South Carolina." Fialstaff, thus did Bombastes Furioso, thus did Sancho Panza. So Tillman's Fee. Fea. Fea does not scare anybody. 5. Senator Tillman asserts that the Afro-Americans hope for amalgamation and that the "Yankees" are planning to bring it about in the South. The Senator need not go from home to find the promoters of amalgamation. There they are thick as autumn leaves, and cheeky as the Carolinaans may do, because they quillize the Senator, but when he jumps on amalgamation, he is interfering with indianable rights. The Senator doesn't pan out very much on the Constitution, but he must beware how he trenches upon the pursuit of happiness and vested rights. COL. THOMPSON'S PLAN. One Colonel Thompson of Chattanooga, Tenn., the town of lynching fame, thinks that the United States government ought to collect the "idle, sliftless Negroes," ship them to Panama and compel them to build the canal. That's his solution of the race question. In an interview Col. Thompson says: "It is the idle Negro who makes the race issue in the South. The working Negro is respected and encouraged, and we want him to remain, but we are going to get rid of the other class, no matter how it is done." No greater falschood was ever uttered than "The working Negro is respected and encouraged." No man with Negro blood in his veins is respected in the South. If a man were a veritable Christ in all of his dealings with his fellow man and was able to work twenty hours out of every twenty-four, he would still be looked upon with contempt if of the Afro-American race. The latter part of Col. Thompson's statement is very true. The Caucasus ions of the South are determined to compel the Afro-Americans to work for them for starvation wages or "get rid of them no matter how it is done." The Atlanta-Memphis-Wilmington-Arngenta-Carrollton-Copiah-Hamburg plan of "getting rid of them" is being worked very effectively in the South nowadays. President Roosevelt's administration is just now working hard to stamp out pobrese in the South and will not, of course go into the slavery business itself. Col. Thompson certainly has nove to present such a proposition to the President. Senator Tillman is covishing around, and the newspapers are giving a great deal of space to his claptrap and slush as though they were of some importance. Among other things, he poses as a prophet and predicts that in less than ten years there will be race riots "beside which the slave not will pale into insignificance." He down six propositions which he says he will be disputed, among which we discern faint streaks of sanity. Among these are his admission that lynching has failed to prevent criminal assault. He says that the superior race should protect "many millions of innocent Negroes" from false teachers and bad leaders; and he asserts that the line must be drawn as sternly between white men and black women as between black men and white women. And right here THE APPEAL should, that as to the last proposition, it will render Senator Tillman all the aid in its power. But Tillman says not one word about the gin-mill, the very fons et origo of nearly all the race troubles. Of course he could say nothing about the dive, since every body knows about his strenuous and the state of South Carolina unto an immense "blind tiger." But he concludes urging the men of the South to go ahead and do what they think right in the matter, regardless of "all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell." But all the ravings of the Tillmans that ever lived amount to nothing when arrayed against the instincts and purposes of the civilized citizens of the United States, who constitute an immense majority of the people. His little gang of marauders could not gain a fair victory over one windmill. Tillman may— Rave and snort like Bashan's bull. Or braying ass, of mischief full. Be the Yankees have once whipped some of them. They has sans culottes and can do it again. ROM lust of power and lust of gold, Great God deliver us! A city lay in travail, God our Lord, and from her loins sprang twin Murder and Black Hate. Red was the midnight; clang, crack and cry of death and fury filled the air and trembled underneath the stars when church spires pointed silently to Thee. And all this was to sate the greed of greedy men who hide behind the veil of vengeance! Bend us Thine ear, O Lord! In the pale, still morning we looked upon the deed. We stopped our ears and held our leaping hands, but they—did they not wag their heads and leer and cry with bloody jaws: Cease from Crime! The word was mockery, for thus they train a hundred crimes while we docure one. Behold this maimed and broken thing? dear God it was an humble black man who toiled and sweat to save a bit from the pittance paid him. They told him: Work and Rise. He worked. Did this man sin? Nay, but some one told how some one said another did—one whom he had never seen nor known. Yet for that man's crime this man leth maimed and murdered, his wife naked to shame, his children, to poverty and evil. Doth not this justice of hell stink in Thy nostrils, O God? How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance? Pile the pale frenzy of blood-crazed brutes who do such deeds high on Thine altar, Jehovah Jireh, and burn it in hell forever and forever! Forgive us, good Lord; we know not what we say! Bewildered we are, and passion-tost, mad with the madness of a mobbed and mocked and murdered people; straining at the armposts of Thy Throne, we raise our shackled hands and charge Thee, God, by the bones of our stolen fathers, by the tears of our dead mothers, by the very blood of Thy crucified Christ: What meaneth this? Tell us the Plan; give us the Sign! DEPRAVITY AND SUFFERING. Among the results of the freeminded discussion of the Afro-American and the lying reports of his assaults upon white women, is one which unanticipated, may have a considerable effect upon public sentiment; that is that the white woman, about and around whom the war of words has raged, has come to the front, and is having her say through the public press. And if those women tell all they know about certain conditions which have prevailed in the South from time immemorial, they be sad revelation of wide spread the pravity upon the one hand and of the most intense suffering upon the other. No one can tell what both the white and black women of the South have suffered on account of the liasons which have existed between the races. 'Many of the Afro-American women have been despoiled of their virtue and made unwilling rivals of their white sisters:' Of course it is one of the conditions of existence and inseparable from the institution of slavery that the women of the enslaved race have no legal protection and are at the mercy of the masters. This applies to feudalism as well as actual slavery, during the prevalence of which concubination of the bond woman was distinctly affirmed in the law of the land. In this particular the evil effects of slavery have survived the institution itself and are still prevalent throughout the entire South. SOME ADVICE TO GOV. JELKS. Gov. Jelks, of Alabama, has sent a communication to an Afro American journal, giving some wise and timely advice to the race which that paper represents. But the governor does not seem to realize that fact that much of his advice is as factively needed by his own race as by the Afro-American can. The saloon and the harlot are at the bottom of nearly all the race riots; and the dives are nearly all kept by white men. The late Arkansas riot originated in the rivalry of a white and a black man for the favors of an Afro-American harlot. Now, if Gov. Jelks will take the advice of Senator Tillman, and punish white men as severely for consorting with black strumpets has Afro-American men are punished for consorting with white women, he will take a step in the right direction. It would be well for him to take into consideration the fact that THE SINGLE CITY OF CHICAGO, IN A YEAR, FURNISHES 1930 J.

Tell us god! MORE INSTANCES OF ASSAULTS UPON WHALE WOMEN, BY WHITE MEN, THAN IS CHARGED TO THE AFRO-AMERICANS OF THE ENTIRE SOUTH, IN THE SAME LENGTH OF TIME. It is a little hard to decide which Tillman despies most heartily, the Afro-American or the "Yankee," by which term is meant all the white people of the North. He loses no opportunity to pitchfork the latter class in his usual low-flung style. But he is finding out that the Yankee fails to recognize in him a superior being and is handling him back as good as he sends. The Chicago Chronicle voices its opinion of Southern superiority in the following neat manner: "At Argenta and other points in Arkansas there seems to be a movement to drive the blacks out of the state. It would be interesting to observe the result of this campaign if successful. It is notorious that the Negroes do all the work in Arkansas. They white men, as a general thing, are lazy looking, whisky-drinking, tobacco-munching, who divide their attention between gambling and manslaughter. No power on earth could induce these men to work, so that it becomes a matter of vital interest to know what would be the fate of Arkansas with the Negroes driven out. This consideration may influence the Caucasians who are now trying to evict the blacks." A queer incident is reported from Leesburg, Ga. Six months ago, a white Georgia belle, Miss Green, was married to one Mr. Wilson, who was said to be of French descent. The wedding was a tony affair and the newly married couple took up their residence in a handsome house, in which they entertained the aristocracy of Leesburg very lavishly. All went as merry as a wedding bell until the couple had a spat, in the course of which Wilson informed the bride that he had New York blood in his veins. The results of this blotch move were that Wilson had to be captured from being lynched by his wife's captain, who offered a reward of $500 for his capture, dead or alive, while his wife has to be constantly watched to save her from suicide. It is almost needless to note the fact that this strange case was the result of the illicit relations which heretofore existed between Wilson's male progenitors and Afro-American women. Things change around, sometimes, very queerly. [Name] her loins sprang at; clang, crack underneath the and all this was to of vengeance! d. We stopped by not wag their time!

CORTELYOU, Now Postmaster General, Who is Said to be Slated for Secretary of the Treasury. IT no longer blind, Lord God, deaf to our prayer and dumb to our dumb suffering. Surely Thou too art not white, O Lord, a pale, bloodless, heartless thing? Ah! Christ of all the Pities! Forgive the thought! Forgive these wild, blasphemous words. Thou art still the God of our black fathers, and in Thy soul's soul sit some soft darkenings of the evening, some shadowings of the velvet night. But whisper—speak—call, great God, for Thy silence is white terror to our hearts! The way, O God, show us the way and point us the path. Whither? To life? But not this life, dear God, not this. Let the cup pass from us, tempt us not beyond our strength, for there is that clamoring and clawing within, to whose voice we would not listen, yet budder lest we must, and it is red, Ah! God! It is a red and awful shape. Nearly all of our race troubles may be traced back to the doings and sayings of three classes of unclean animals, the divekeeper, the harlot and the rabble rouser. The dive keeper and the harlot started the thing in Argenta, the rabble rouser was the exciting cause in Atlanta. Afro-American preaches and teachers can not deprive the divekeepers of their licenses, nor break up the resorts where white and black, male and female, indulge in their "social economy" orgies. They can not present such merchants and bankers from renting bookings for the accommodation of degree students from setting up dives with Afro-Americans as managers in order for cater to the Afro-American trade, and the authorities are afraid to do their duty; for as the mob said to the Atlanta officer: "We voted for you." The importation of Italian laborers to the South may be a grand success as a whole, but it certainly is attended by some embarrassing incidents. For instance, recently in West Virginia, a railroad contractor, Fitzgerald discharged some of his laborers. The following result occurred: The discharged Italians became enraged and about 11 o'clock, as Fitzgerald was riding along the line of his work, he fell from his seat on a shack. He fell from his seat on three bullets in his body. Italians to the number of twelve or fifteen rushed up and plummed knives and dirks into the already dying man. It seems probable that lynching will shortly become the popular mode of punishing a man for discharging his employees. Our Southern brethren are in great danger of losing their prestige in the matter of knowing how to deal with the Afro-American which they have persistently claimed to have a monopoly of knowledge. They have from time immemorial hurled the bittest reproaches at the North, or to use Senator Tillman's language "all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell," for presuming to know anything about the matter. But present conditions by means substantiate the claims of the brethren aforesaid. Public engagement, as exhibited by the press, does not seem to accept the Atlanta method as a howling success; and thus far, the only congratulations offered have been those of the Cossacks of Russia. Those people have been so much surprised at the fact of Southern women exulting at the lynching of an Afro-American brute, might learn something by reading of the doings of the angelic sex during the reign of terror in France. A very good idea of the capabilities of women during such times may be gained by studying the characters of "The Vengeance" and "Madame Defarge" in Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities." The fact seems to be that women are more easily brutalized than men; being more impulsive and less reflective. And when they become brutalized, they remain so. The Baltimore Sun favors ethical teaching for Afro-American youth and thinks that the schools are not doing what is expected of them. But the real trouble is that the schools have no chance to teach the vast majority of the Afro-American youth, ethnically or otherwise, from the simple fact that the Afro-American youth do not attend. So far as is known, the schools seem to have done fairly well with those who have attended, for the record shows that the criminals are generally of the most illiterate class. The real need is more schools and better ones. John Sharp Williams views the question of government ownership of railroads "especially from the standpoint of racial peace and quiet in the south." It seems to be impossible for Mr. Williams and many other solid south democrats to rise above the level of Jim Crow statesmanship. Some time they will rise to a higher level, when the south will cease to be solid. The essence of the jimrow policy is simply to restore the conditions that existed during slavery times, so far as possible. The Chicago Chronicle rebukes the "Chautauqua caterers to deprived tastes" who employ Senator Tillman, the fire-brand hurter, to tore up the rabble in the North. The rebuke is timely, but so long as deprived tastes will pay the freight, the Chautauquanites will cater. They are not in business for their health—they are neither moralists nor anthropists. And by the way, are they any worse, in reality, than the newspapers who parade their biggest headlines to giving the Clansmen a boom? The New Orleans Times-Democrat speaks of Senator's Baileys ploa that he has a right to add to the vocation of corporation counsel to his functions of United States Senator-as an "unsatisfactory defense," and indefensible upon any ground. Upon the proposition: Should a senator be the tool of a corporation, but little argument is needed. SAINT PAUL A WEEK'S RECORD IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITAL.

"Tis given unto all men to die, and all know that sooner or later the grim reaper with his impartial scythe cuts down all, but no matter when death comes it brings terror and sorrow. Such was the case with Mr. Bell. For many years he has been one of the most if not in fact the best worker in St. James A. M. E. church. He was superintendent of the Sunday school, class leader, trustee, member of choir in short "one of the pillars of the church." For many years he conducted a barber shop on Selby avenue where he made a host of friends among the residents "on the hill." Recently he sold his shop and went to railroading from a navalago home one suffering from an attack of pneumonia. He was taken to the hospital and though he had the best medical skill and attention he died last Sunday morning. His funeral occurred at St. James church on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. There was a short service at his late residence on Central avenue A. B. conducted by Rev. H. S. Graves. At the church which was crowded to its utmost capacity with citizens of all nationalities the services began at St. Peter's Church, Minnesota followed by My God to Thee" by the choir followed. Then Rev. Graves made some excellent remarks followed by an introduction of Rev. J. C. Anderson who at the request of the family had come from Chicago to preach the funeral. Rev. Anderson took for his text: "Precious in His sight is the death of his saints" Psalms 100-15. The sermon was admirable in every respect and told of the worth of a man who was beloved by all who knew him. Tribute was paid to the deceased by Rev. J. Strong. During the service a duet, "Oh, Morning Home" was sung by Mrs. Scott Mason and Miss Helen Anderson, a solo, "Some Sweet Day" by Mrs. A. S. Weber, a solo, "Homeland" by Mrs. R. C. Minor and the favorite hymn of the deceased "Happy Day" by the Sunday school children in which the whole congregation grandly joined. Resolutions of respect presented by the officers and official boards of the church were read by Mr. O. C. Hall and of course unanimously adopted by the profound silence which gives consent. The deceased was happily married and was the proud father of a son and two daughters now in their teens. He leaves wife and children, mother, three sisters and a brother to mourn his loss. The funeral was conducted by Lyles & Elliott. Interment at Oakland. The floral tributes were very numerous and very beautiful. William A. Gerber is Making a Winning Campaign. Willie / A. Gerber, familiarly known as "Billie" by a large number of people in the tae county, is making a winning William A. Gerber. campaign for sheriff. Mr. Gerber secured the Republican nomination by a handsome majority, and the indications are that he will be elected by at least a comfortable margin. He is well known as a representative of the younger element, and he has been active for a number of years in Republican politics. When Col. Kiefer's death occurred just before the spring election two years ago the party managers for a time were at a loss to determine on somebody to take his place as the party candidate for city controller. Mr. Gerber was selected, and with only a few days to make his campaign the present candidate for sheriff went out and secured a handsome vote, losing the election, but proving that he had the confidence of the voters. Mr. Gerber is a resident of the Eighth ward, where he has been in business for many years. He will probably get better than an even break in that Democratic ward, and a slight party vote in the rest of the city should elect him by a good majority. HON. F. C. STEVENS.

Krahmer Has Shown Himself Model County Auditor. The friends of Edward G. Krahmer, the Republican candidate for county auditor are not worrying much about his election. Mr. Krahmer is the present county auditor, and because of his efficiency there will be no question when his election. Mr. Krahmer took hold of the auditor's office when affairs were in a bad tone; orders were brought out of a chaotic condition, and the office today is administered strictly in the interest of the taxpayers. Mr. Krahmer has been criticised by some for undue caution in the matter of public expenditures, but such criticisms probably have made him stronger with the taxpayers. Mr. Krahmer has taken the position and has maintained it, that the county auditor's office is not merely a department of bookkeeping. He has appreciated the fact that the auditor should not issue a county warrant for any purpose unless the legality of the claim against the county is clearly established. This policy has inconvenienced a few bona-fide claimants, but on the whole the taxpayers of the county prefer a strict construction of all laws relating to public construction rather than loose methods in the auditor's office by which it might be possible for the public funds to be diverted into improper channels. For this and other reasons, Mr. Krahmer should get the vote of every thinking elector. R. H. SENG. Republican Candidate for County Commissioner. M. W. FITZGERALD.

On last Wednesday George Harding, white, a plumber in the employ of the St. Paul Gas Light Co., and his helper Frank Alred were at work in a tunnel of the company at Fourth and Olive streets making some changes in the pipes. As the mains cannot be shut off the pipes were cut and the connections were made as quickly as possible. Of course considerable gas escapes under such conditions but the work is generally done so quickly that no harm comes from the escaping gas. On this occasion harm did come for by some unknown means there was a large flow of gas and by some unknown means the gas was ignited and both gases were burned. He knows just how the accident occurred as the only witnesses now lie cold in death. Mr. Frank Alred came to this city from, Troy, Ala., about eight years ago, he was 35 years of age, had been married over four years and leaves his wife, two children and two sisters to mourn his loss. He resided at 74 M. South Robert street and had only been in the employ of the Gas Co., a few months.

PROPOSED Amendments TO THE Constitution OF MINNESOTA Hon. Peter E. Hanson, Secretary of State. Sir: As required by Section 25 of the Revised Laws, I have the honor to advise you as to the purpose and effect of those amendments which are to be enacted by the people at the coming election. FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT. "Section 2. The legislature shall provide for the estimated ordinary expenses of the state for each year, and whenever it happens the state ordinary expenses of the state may shall exceed the income of the state any year shall provide a tax for the ensuing year sufficient, with other sources of income, to cover the estimated ceding year, together with the estimated tax levying a tax or making other provisions for the payment of interest or other state Railroad Bonds shall take effect or be in force until such law shall be enacted. The people of the state, and adopted by a majority of the electors of the state vot- "Section 3. Laws shall be passed tax- bonds, stocks, joint stock companies, or otherwise, also all real and personal money; but public burying grounds, public school houses, public hospitals, acad- mies of learning, all churches, church inaries of learning, all churches, church houses of worship, institutions of purely public charity, public property used ex- cept for personal property to an amount not ex- cept for personal property to an amount not except for each individual, shall by general laws, be exempt from taxation. ( ) be passed for taxing the notes and bills discounted or property effects, or of every description, of all banks and of all bank- ing shall always be subject to taxation except that imposed on the individual. And to substitute therefor the following: **Section 1.** The power of taxation shall be traced away. Taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects, and purposes, but public burying grounds, academies, co-educational universities, and all seminaries of learning, all churches, church of purity of purity public charity, and public property used exclusively for any purpose, and there may be exempted from value $200 for each household, individual or head of a family, as the legislature may authorize municipal corporations to levy and collect assays of property the legislature may authorize municipalerty benefited thereby will out regard to ```markdown ``` Owing to the provisions of sections one and three of the present Constitution, many amendments may be imposed to permit taxes to be imposed on specific kinds of property otherwise than upon a certain kind of property in the state. We have among these exceptions railroad gross earnings taxes; municipal taxes; contiguous taxes; the gross earnings taxes authorized by said section seventeen. Special exemptions from taxation are also provided for, but as these exemptions are not changed by the proposed amendment, I will make the amendment. The amendment which, if adopted, would take the place of all of the sections and amendments above are required to be imposed on the provision of the Constitution is necessary to authorize the imposition of the taxes necessary for government. This proposed amendment be contained away; that shall be the power of taxation shall never be surrendered, suspended, or contained away; that shall be the power of taxation purposes and shall be uniform on the same class of subjects. Should this amendment be contained away in the state would be subject to taxation, according to the method the legislature saw fit impose, tax levied for a public purpose and was uniform on the same class of subjects. Under this amendment the statute books would continue to be valid, because under this amendment all limitations on the power of the legislature would be taken The adoption of this amendment would, as indicated, repent the so-called "gross earnings tax amendment" adopted in 1896 as contained in the law, and the gross-earnings tax amendment adopted in 1896 as contained in the law, would be unlimited, and any form of gross earnings tax would be imposed, would be unlimited, and any form of gross earnings tax would be imposed, would be unlimited, and any form of gross earnings tax would not be affected by this amendment, as the Constitution provides that tax cannot be changed without with this amendment various new forms of taxation could be imposed, and with this amendment taxory on mortgages. Under the present Constitution we can impose no tax on mortgages owned by non-foreigners. We can impose no tax on mortgages would be valid under this amendment, but reach an mortgages with Willow. Willow's requirements are required to have a cash valuation with the tax equalized to the tax required to have come tax could be imposed. Such a tax, if imposed, should be proclaimed, and should be valid under this amendment. SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

LOWEST PRICES EASIEST TERMS --- crease the tax which can be levied for state road purposes from one county to a mill. The legislature may levy a less tax, but can not exceed one of the mill. The proviso shows it will be divided among the counties. THIRD PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The third proposed amendment to the Constitution is contained in Chapter 283 of the Laws of 1905, and is as follows: *Section 18. Any person may sell or garden occupied or cultivated land, him without obtaining a license therefor. This proposed amendment is intended to be added to Article one of the Constitution, which is known as the bill of rights, will, if adopted, be Section 18 of Article, leaving all of the Articles of the Constitution out. The only change that would be effected thereby would be to enable any farmer or gardener to sell the products of his land, which he occupies and cultivates, within any city or village in the state by peddling the same from home without taking out a peddler's license. Respectfully, *Edward T. Young, Attorney General. Dated St. Paul, MN.* Democratic Candidate for Congress Fifth District. The Afro-American, more than any other class of the citizens of the community, should indicate his approval or disapproval of men who seek the suffrages of the people for public office. He should, of course, raise racial prejudices, born out of them. You cannot judge in election times whether a candidate has such prejudices. You must judge them by their conduct when they are not running for office. One of the most important offices to be filled this fall is the office of Congressman, an American man, are more than ordinarily interested when such a Negro-hater as Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi threatens to go into the United States Senate for the avowed purpose of disfranchising the Afro-American. The two prominent candidates for Congress, Frank Larabee, the Democratic party and Frank Nye for the Republican party. Now we have Frank Larabee for many years when he had no thought of running for office, and during all that time whether he was sick or well, busy or otherwise he always had time to say something. He is not smiley or extend a cordial hand grip to his Afro-American friends. We say God speed such men. We don't know anything special against the personality of Frank Nye, but we do know that he has never shown to his Afro-American fellow citizen the same unimaginable good fellowship as has Frank Larabee. Let us put him, it possible, where he can speak for us to more purpose than ever before the juries of Hennepin county. Voter. RD 91 E.
