We may admit that the Afro-Americans do not draw social lines among themselves to the extent they ought, because we know that neither do the white people. But that they draw no social lines at all, we utterly deny, and assert that there are reasons, and good ones why those lines are not more strongly marked. Let us consider how social lines are drawn among our white brethren. they know about certain conditions which have prevailed in the So from time immemorial, it will be sad revelation of wide spread pravity upon the one hand and OUR In Europe, there is a broad social line between the nobleman who came in with William the Norman and the man whose father amassed wealth by trade. But the Afro-American cannot establish a social line based upon his ancestry—he has none. In the United States, there is a social line between the millionaire and the man of less wealth; the latter cannot keep up with the former's procession, it costs more money; the latter cannot keep up with the former's procession. He cannot afford to waste $200,000 a year while crossing the ocean, as young Mr. Thrush now' these millionaires are numerous enough to keep each other's company and to enjoy themselves in doing Ostend and Monte Carlo and the German baths. The Afro-Americans have but a few moderately wealthy families and they cannot flock by themselves—not enough of them. And, besides, these comparatively wealthy ones are bound, more or less, to poorer relatives. We believe it to be true that they stick to their blood better than the white brother does to his. One of the best tests of social lines is the intervariation of families. If the Richmond joins you in arguing that point, it can easily find out that the Afro-American families which it would regard as having no social line of markation, there is a gulf like that between Dives and Lazarus. They never visit each other's houses, and that is the rule, not the exception. Among the results of the frenzied 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.

The solicitude for the welfare of the Afro-American displayed by some of the southern newspapers ought to win for them the gratitude of the race, if it were the genuine, unadulterated article, which is by no means certain.

Tell us the Plan; give us the Sign! --- 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. A LAWLESS NATION "We are becoming a nation of law-breakers. The corporations break the law to secure unfair profits and outstrip their rivals; custodians of trust funds break the law; robbing those who have trust them; the labor unions break the law to force their point of view upon employers and the public; mobs break the law to carry out their ideas of justice; dealers of all sorts everywhere break the law in their greed for gain, and hardly a day passes that someone with a grudge against another, the jealous husband, or rejected suitor, does not take it upon himself to kill someone. Candor forces us to admit that we are far and away the most lawless nation in the civilized world; indeed it is doubtful if in any country that we call semi-civilized or barbarous there prevails to-day as wide and general a condition of lawlessness as among us." Keep not thou silence, O God! —that they now see that a condition, not a theory confronts us; that the question is whether the government, or the mob shall rule. VOTE YOUR TICKET STRAIGHT. We are on the eve of an important election. We wish to enjoy the good times we have had since the election of McKinley in 1896 and the only way to be assured that prosperity will continue is to stand by the Republican party. We should not try any experiments or indulge in any petty spite as every vote is needed and where any one fails to vote for the Republican candidate, that is equivalent to half vote for the opposition. This is an important matter, especially in some of the close Congressional discontent, that is necessary to have a Republican Congress to uphold a Republican President. It is possible that some objectionable men may be on the ticket in certain localities, but there is so much at stake this time that they should be overlooked. Do not take any chances by voting a split ticket. VOTE THE REPUBLICAN (TICKET STRAIGHT. THE REIGN OF TERROR. The facts concerning the Atlanta massacre are coming to the surface and showing that it was nothing less than a savage butchery, without anything whatever, to justify it. The tales about assaults upon white women by "Negro brutes," were nothing else than gross, palpable lies sent out by the satanic Democratic press of Atlanta; for, up to the present time, not one single instance of such outrages has been distinguished. The mob, composed of Democrats, made no attempt to force "brutes" who had committed crimes and insisted its brutal spite upon good African citizens. Even the Greek, negyro- [Name] FREDERICK C. STEVENS. Republican Candidate for Congress. ineer for Congress in your district and so prevent the election of a Democratic Congress. The Chicago Chronicle says: "Nobody will begrudge Henry O. Tanner, the colored American artist, now in Paris, the honors which he carried off for his striking and admirable painting at the Art institute. He is the first colored painter, though there have been many colored poets. The truth is that the African mind has in it a rich vein of imagination, which will some day astonish the world. It is far more apt to excel in the direction of art than of science." While THE APPEALE highly appreciates the complimentary mention in the article it is compelled to object to its historical accuracy. The "mulatof Murillo" was one of the great painters of Spain. And here in the United States, Mr. R. S. Duncanson, an Afro-American painter of Cincinnati, ornamented the Longworth mansion with his great picture "The Land of the Lotus-Eaters," the subject taken from Tennyson's poem of the same title. President Roosevelt has endeared himself to the people of the United States by his action in aiding in the prosecution of a dance-house proprietor who refused admission to a man who was dressed in the uniform of the United States, for the simple reason that he wore that uniform. The man that a man may be ostracised, socially, because he is in the service of his country is simply audacious... Maxim Gorky has gone home, or somewhere else. Of this we are very but Tillman, Hearst, Gompers, Bryan, Tillman, Nation, John Temple Graves and Vardan, will fulfill his business at the old stand, and furnish for the ears of the groundlings an array of talent which the world cannot parallel. According to Holy Writ, Moses married an Ethiopian, or Cushite woman, thereupon his brother and sister Aaron and Miriam Tillmanized him, Whereupon, Miriam was smitten with leprosy and shut out from the camp for seven days, as white as she was: The Mobile Press says: "When we own business blocks, factories, and are engaged in all the industries, we will have no cause of complaint." The Press has never heard from Russia, that is certain. 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? North is greed and South is blood; within, the coward, and without, the liar. Whither? To death? Amen! Welcome dark sleep! 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 shudder lest we must, and it is red, Ah! God! It is a red and awful shape. In yonder East trembles a star. Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord! Lord, we have done these pleading, wavering words. We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord I We bow our heads and hearken soft to the sobbing of women and little children. We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! In the old shoe-string district of Mississippi, the Afro-Americans have nominated Mr. Geo. W. Chatters, a man of their race, for congress. It would be a good joke on Vardaman were he elected. As the boys in '61 buckled on the knapsack and clutched the gun, resolved that the government should be preserved, so to-day the same spirit animates them and their progeny. "The Republican party has done more for humanity, for human liberty, and more for human progress than any other party since the stars first sang together."—Senator Fairbanks. Get a hustle upon yourself, see your neighbors and your neighbors' neighbors and induce them to vote for the Republican nominee for Congress in your district. Take off your coat and work for your Republican Congressional nominee until the evening of November 6; then we can shout and yell until we are hoarse. Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidates for congress in every district. A Republican congress is needed to uphold the president. "If we can't get the Negro out of politics peacefully and legally, by the eternal gods we'll do it anyway."—Senator Tillman. The Republican party recognizes ability and rewards it accordingly. All Afro-Americans look alike to Democrats. The elections of the South are settled in the "white primary." The Afro-American has no equal part in them. Remember that Southern Democrats burn. Afro-Americans at the stake for alleged crimes. Forward boys, we're going in to lick them.

GOVERNOR JOHNSON. An Open Letter Correcting Some False Impressions. Concerning. Him Mr. Editor:--Permit me, through the columns of your paper, to correct an erroneous impression which is being circulated with relation to the appointment of the Afro-Americans who are now holding positions at the State Capital Building. Those who are not fully advised in the matter (or else they willfully attempt to mislead) appear to think that all the Capital appointments were and are made by Governor Johnson, and that Governor Johnson has made appointments and created places before his election. That is a mistake. All appointments of Afro-Americans now holding positions at the Capital were made by the State Capital Commission, (which Commission was appointed by a Republican Governor) except the position of Messenger to the Governor, which appointment was made by Governor Johnson and is the only appointment of an Afro-American in the Capital made by Governor Johnson. In making that one appointment the Governor did not create a vacancy in a position which was the Republican Party years ago and has ever since been held by Afro-Americans. In calling attention to this apparent misunderstanding upon the part of a few I desire also to make it plain that there is no criticism offered against the one Afro-American appointment made by Governor Johnson. The Governor's Messenger is a competent young man of excellent reputation and a perfect gentleman, and such men have been known to hold a position even when the party of their affiliation was not in power.

A. Bolt-Hen manager. The club deserves much credit for the very pleasant entertainment. VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET. Remember that next Tuesday is election day and remember that the Republican ticket both state and county is all right and then remember to vote 'the ticket straight. Don't be misled by any fine drawn theories, Vardaman says the best place for the Afro-American is in the south and his best friends are the southerners you know he is prevaricating. Vardaman is a Democrat and while all Democrats are not as bad as he yet they are mostly had enough Don't trust them, vote for Republicans and then you'll know you've done the right thing. M. H. Republican Candidate for County Surveyor. J. H. Armstrong the Republican candidate for County Surveyor and present incumbent of the office is well equipped for the work. He received his scholastic training in the engineering school of Montreal. From 1876 to 1884, he was engaged in railroad construction work in various parts of the United States. From 1884 to 1895 he was assistant city engineer of St. Paul, in charge of city surveys. After that he established an office in the Globe building and was thus engaged when elected county surveyor two years ago. County Surveyor Armstrong is a very modest man and is not given to exploiting his abilities but is rather content to let the tree be known by it fruit. VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET. JOHN F. SELB. Republican Candidate for Representative Fifth Ward. VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN NOMINEES. THE NEXT SHERIFF Willia A. A. Gerber, familiarly known as "Billie" by a large number of people in the county, is making a winning 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 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 necessary candidate for sheriff went out and was elected, 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 straight party vote in the rest of the city should elect him by a good majority. The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre. "Campbell's Nightingales" appear at the Star theatre commencing Sunday matinee Nov. 4th. It is the pioneer of a wide realm of new ideas, new to the public. The above company, with their own original ideas, have won a place that their imitators cannot reach. Public opinion and approval are theirs. The company this season is far above others, surrounded as they are, by the largest and prettiest chorus on the grandest stage, together with the greatest talent obtainable. Its scenic effects arevels of the painter's art. They present the two act comedy "A Trip to Jupiter". The following artists are to be found, Gracy and Bumett; Sisters Bliss; Richy W. Craig York Comedy Four; Mozelle and Kenneth and an argumented chorus. Extra midnight show Election day returns read from the stage. Edward G. Krahmer Has Shown Him self, 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 about his election. Mr. Krahmer took hold of the auditor's office when affairs were in a bad tangle; order and method were brought out of a chaotic condition, and the office today is administered strictly in the interest of the taxpayers. Mr. Krahmer has been criticized by some for undue caution in the matter of public expenditures, but much 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 expenditures 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. Kirkup will get the vote of every thinking elector. R. H. SENG. Republican Candidate for County Commissioner. M. W. FITZGERALD. Republican Candidate for Register of Deeds. M. B. REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING. Rousing. Meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church Thursday Night. On last Tuesday evening their was a large attended mass meeting of Republicans including a number of ladies, held at Pilgrim Baptist Church under the auspices of the Republican State and County Committees. The meeting was a very representative one and quite enthusiastic. Mr. W. T. Fracis was chairman and Mr. O. C. Hall secretary. The principal speaker was Mr. Charles W. Scrutchin, of Bemidji, who made an excellent address filled with food and advice. He was the principal of Republicanism and of the good qualities of the Republican Candidates on the State and County tickets. His speech was well received, Excellent speeches were also made by sentator Moses E. Clapp, H. S. Fairchild, candidate for County Commissioner, James Denegre, candidate for the Legislature; Howard Wheeler, candidate for County Commissioner; William A. Gerber, our next sheriff; E. G. Krahner, candidate for County Commissioner; Howard Strong, candidate for County Surveyor. All the speeches were fine and were enjoyed by all. The republican cause will be strengthened by the fact that a governor and a United States senator are to be elected this fall. Every vote recorded for the republican county ticket will mean a vote for Cole for governor and Knute Nelson for senator. VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET. Julius Schmahl, candidate for secretary of state who was in St. Paul yesterday, feels confident of success for the entire ticket. There are few as well informed on political conditions as Schmahl, and when he makes a prediction it is not mere guesswork, as most campaign predictions are. HON. A. M. HARRISON. Republican Candidate for District Judge, Minneapolis. THE APPEAL takes pleasure in announcing in this issue the name of Judge A. M. Harrison, Republican nominee for District Judge of Hennepin County. Judge Harrison has served many years on the District Bench, has always been known as a fair and impartial Judge and we ask the voters when they cast their ballots on November 6 to remember to put an X opposite the name of A. M. Harrison, because he deserves another term, and because rights will be protected in his hands. DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

Hanson, Secretary of State. Sir: As required by Section 25 of the Revised Laws, I have the honor to ad advise you as to the purpose and effect of these amendments which may be better served by the people at the coming election. FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT: The first proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 168 of the Laws of 1805. By this amendment it is permitted to have two (2), three (3), four (4) and seventeen (17) of Article nine (9) of the Constitution (the latter section being the amendment to said Article nine) to have sixteen sections now read as follows; "Section 2. The legislature shall provide for an annual tax sufficient to determine the state for each year, and whenever it shall happen that such ordinary expenses shall exceed the income of any year shall exceed the income of any state for such year, the legislature shall provide for levying a tax for the ensuing income, to pay the deficiency of the preceding year, together with the estimated expenses of such ensuing year. But no tax shall be imposed on Bonds' visions for the payment of interest or principal of bonds denominated "Mineral Bonds" shall take effect or be in force unless they have been submitted to a vote of the people of the state, and adopted by a majority of the officers of the state voting upon the same. "Section 3. Laws shall be passed taxing bonds, stocks, joint stock companies, or otherwise, also all real and personal property, according to its true value in the public school houses, public hospitals, academies, colleges, universities, and all seminaries, property used for religious purposes, and houses of worship: institutions of purely public charity, public property used excluding personal property to an amount not exceeding in value two hundred dollars for any personal property to an amount not exceeding in value two hundred dollars for any personal property to a general law, be exempt from taxation. "Section 4. Laws shall be passed for the management of the property purchased, money loans, and all other property, effects, or dues of every deceiver, so that all property owners, so that all property employed in banking shall always be subject to a property tax imposed on the property of individuals. And to substitute therefor the following; that nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect, modify or repeal any existing law providing for the base taxation of the gross earnings of railroads." The purpose and effect of this amendment would be directly exemplified by the legislature with reference to the subject of taxation. Section one (1) as it now stands provides that all taxes imposed shall be equal—as near as may be—on all forms of property, and all property upon which a tax is imposed. The legislature equaled throughout the state. Section two as it now stands requires the legislature to levy the necessary taxes annually to fund the necessary programs. That is the duty of the legislature without any constitutional direction. Section three as it now stands provides that all real and personal property, including FY2015 CREDITS AND INVESTMENTS IN BONDS AND STOCKS, shall be assessed according to their true value in money. Section four as it now stands provides that property employed in banking shall be subject to a tax equal to that imposed on other property. This is only a repetition of the requirements of Sessions one and three, as are no repetitions of the requirements of banking capital should be exempt from taxation. Section seventeen as it now stands is not easy to understand, but it was intended by that section to relieve the burden of the taxes and three, above quoted, property of the classes therein enumerated, so that a gross earnings tax could be applied thereto instead of direct taxes. Owing to the provisions of sections one and three of the present Constitution many amendments were made to permit taxes to be imposed on specific kinds of property otherwise than upon a cash valuation equalized throughout the state. The railroad gross earnings taxes; municipal frontage taxes; inheritance taxes; and the gross earnings taxes authorized by said section seven- Several exemptions from taxation are also provided for, but as these exemptions are not changed by the proposed law, make another reference to them. The amendment which, if adopted, would take the place of all of the sections and amendments above referred to, is simple and the Constitution is necessary to authorize the imposition of the taxes necessary for the support of the state and its various political purposes. The constitution is inherent in government. This proposed amendment declares that this inherent power of taxation shall never be surrevered, suspended or abolished, and shall be imposed for public purposes and shall be uniform on the same class of subjects. Should this amendment be adopted all property of the state shall subject to taxation, according to the method the legislature saw fit to adopt, provided only that the tax was levied for a public purpose and was uniform on the same class of subjects. Every tax law we now have on the statute books would continue to be valid, because under this amendment all limitations on the power of legislation would be taken away. The adoption of this amendment would, as indicated, repeal the so-called inheritance tax amendment, and the gross earnings tax amendment, and the gross earnings tax amendment in said section seventeen, but in their place this amendment would give the legislature greater authority. Under this amendment the power to impose inheritance taxes would be limited to gross earnings tax would be valid. The gross earnings tax on railroads would not be affected by this amendment, as the Constitution provides that it can not be changed with this amendment various new forms of taxation could be imposed, notably an,income tax and a registry tax on mortgages. Under the Constitution no tax on mortgages owned by non-residents. A registry tax, which would be valid under this amendment, would reach all mortgages owned by non-residents. The taxation are required to have a cash valuation with the tax equalized throughout the state, no proper income tax could be imposed. Such a tax, imposed, should be progressive, and should be valid under this amendment. SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The second proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 212 of the Laws of 1905. It is sought by this amendment to repeal Section 16 of Article 9 of the Constitution, which is as follows: "Section 16. For the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of public highways and bridges, there is a statute that requires the 'State Road and Bridge Fund,' Said fund shall include all money accruing from the income derived from investment in the state road and bridge fund, or that may hereafter accrue to said fund and shall also include all money accruing from any state road and bridge fund, however not from the legislature is authorized to add to such fund for the purpose of constructing or repairing a state road, by providing, in its discretion, for an annual tax levy upon the property of this state of not to exceed in any year the amount of money available property within the state. The legislature is also authorized to provide for the appointment by the governor of the state highway commission, in particular Highway Commission", consisting of three members, who shall perform such duties as shall be prescribed by law or by the governor of the state highway commission, than personal expenses. Such commission shall have general intendences for the construction and use of bridges and shall use such fund in construction thereof and distribute the same in the several counties in the state further, that no county shall receive in any year more than three per cent or more than one-third of the total fund thus provided and appended during such year; and provided, further, that no more than one-third of the total fund thus provided and appended during such year; and provided, further, that no more than one-third of the total fund thus provided and appended during such year; and in no case shall more than one-third of the cost of constructing or improving any road or be paid by the state from such fund." and substitute therefor the following( "Section 16. For the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of public highways and bridges, there is a requirement to be known by the State Road and Bridge Fund, said fund shall include all money accruing from the income derived from investments in the bridge fund, or that may hereafter accrue to said fund, and shall also include all money accruing from the road and bridge fund, however provided. The legislature is authorized to add to the fund for the purpose of constructing and building bridges of this state, by providing, in its discretion, for an annual tax levy on the internal revenue to exceed in any year one-fourth (½) of one mill on all taxable property within this provided, that no county shall receive in any year more than three (¾) per cent or less than one-half (½) of one (1) per cent of the cost of constructing, or improving or improving the bridge be paid by the state from such fund." The purpose and object of the amendment is (1st) to eliminate that constitution the requirement that commission shall be appointed to have charge of the expenditure of and bridge fund. This would lessen the option legislature to have a state highway commission or not; (2nd) to in- Let Us Send You This Splendid Buck's Base Burner for Thirty Days' Free Trial IT is made to heat more space with less fuel than any other stove in America.

CALL FOR IT 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-tenth of a mill. The proviso shows how 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 peddle products of the farm or garden, or occupy a farm or garden him without obtaining a license therefor." This proposed amendment is intended to be added to Article one (1) of the Constitution, which is known as the bill of rights, and will be made available said article, leaving all of the Article otherwise as it is at present. The only change that would be entirely welcome would be to enable any farmer to grow and produce products of the farm or garden, which he occupies and cultivates, within any city or village in the state of New York, the same from house to house without taking out a peddler's license. Peter Weingart FOR SHERIFF OF HENNEPIN COUNTY LARS. M. RAND. Democratic Candidate for Alderman Sixth Ward Minneapolis. FRANK LARABEE 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 lack the suffrages of the people for public office. Some men are born with racial prejudices, others acquire 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. Afro-Americans are more than ordinarily interested now, 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 are Frank Larabee for the Democratic party and Frank Nye for the Republican party. Now we have known 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 a cheerful word and bestow a hearty smile or extend a cordial hand grip to his Afro-American friends. We say God speed such men. We don't know how he came to believe against the personality of Frank Nye but that he has never shown to his Afro-American fellow citizen the same universal kindness and good fellowship as has Frank Larabee. Let us put him, if possible, where he can speak for us to more purpose than ever before the juries of Hennepin county. Voter. Jarvis, the heeler and saver of soles, 354 Minnesota street, says in one of his street car signs: "I can mend shoes better than I can write," and, if the sign is a fair specimen of his work as a writer, he's right, as he can mend shoes all right if he cannot write all right.
