H What of the hot Tom and Jerry which every Bonnie must need sets forth as soon as his calendar apprises him that the month of December is taking on its last legs. It is the end of all this seems at hand. The temperance wave sweeping irresistibly over the country will compel mere man to revise his holiday observances. Perhaps he won't wind so much being abstemious on other holidays as it will be on New York's Fourth, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving day all have so many other features that it will be no special hardship to abstain then, but New Year's with the flowing bow repressed, will seem to strange New Year's, indeed. It has already dawned in some sections of the United States. There are prohibition laws which prevent the sale of liquor in all or parts of Delaware, Tennessee, Florida, Alamanda, Maine, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Vermont, Massachusetts, Iowa, Rhode Island, Maryland, Michigan, South Dakota, Colorado and Washington. It has been estimated that in fully one of the United States the once filled hold of liquor was 1908, and with the advance of the prohibition spirit in every section of the country—north, east, south and west—it is difficult to tell what will be left to the convivial spirit by the time New year's day, 1910, has worked around. Rural United States is now in greater part dry.

But even in these citadels of the liquor traffic the war is being carried with greater vigor. Recently in the city of New York one of the most prominent brewers in the United States advanced the extraordinary argument that if the beermakers of the country want to escape the coming storm they advocate in a movement the prohibition suppression of the low class dive and saloon which in the estimate of the brewers is responsible for the greater part of the disrepute into which the liquor traffic has been brought. But this offer has been promptly resisted which, through its spokesman, has responded that it seeks the complete and absolute destruction of the liquor traf- DRINKING TO THE NEW YE fic in this country, that the establishing of a respectable saloon is not recognized as progress, and that not until it is recognized that the kind is made a crime against the law will it regard its work as finished. To a large extent the anti-liquor propaganda of the 1920s was Formerly it had its existence mainly in the enthusiasm of supporters of the Prohibition party, which year after year went to the polls to register only an infinitesimal proportion of the total vote cast. The arguments advanced against the liquor traffic were mainly related to religious in character. Occasionally it was the country's dominant parties to throw a bone to the Prohibition party in order to gain its support in some close fight. But the appearance of the party in GERMAN RATHSKELLER.

THE APPEA HE big new man of the cabinet is Postmaster Owens of Pegerke Meyer, and his postal savings bank scheme has been a leading theme of discussion since its indorsement by President Roosevelt in his latest message. It is a proposition which has been stamped with support but not with hoodliness but with William J. Bryan. It is said to be a strong probability that congress will do something toward putting the plan in effect during the present session. The postal savings bank idea is not exactly a new one, but this is the first time a postmaster general, backed by a president, has entered on a campaign in its behalf, and the time seems aptly chosen, as it chances, that there is a great deal of "dead money" in the bank that is hoarded and kept in bureau drawers and old stockings because its owners fear to trust it to the banks. It the contention of the postmaster general that the establishment of postal savings banks would tend to draw hidden coins and bills from their restroom to restore them to the commerce of trade. YEAR IN SLUMS OF LONDON. The postal savings bank plan is advocated especially for the influence such a system would have upon the young in teaching them habits of thrift and embezzlement. The recent immigrants from other lands placed the government behind them in which to put their savings. Many of the arrivals from abroad are accustomed to the idea of government banks in the countries from which they come from. They are in any institution not having the they are in any institution given by a government connection. When they do they are often the first to take alarm if there is a least sign of panic, and recently runs banks have been caused in several instances. This has led to the ignorance and misapprehension on the part of foreign born depositors. GEORGE VON L. MEYER glars and sneak thieves lately because so many persons have been keeping their money in places where the light fingered gentry could easily find it. It is related to one timorous depositor, a girl named Martha, who drew $400 from a savings bank, receiving it in thirty crisp $20 bills, which to conceal from inquisitive members of the family he stuffed between the attic roof and the rafters of the same. When he wanted to get his money, found that some pet squirrels had intelligently appropriated the currency, thus proving how knowing animals have become since they have been written about so much. They had inwarded the bills in an attempt. Probably the squirrels would never have taken the money had this country possessed a postal savings bank system. If it were not for the money now in hawking Ms. it estimated that would be no financial stringency. Mr. Meyer in urging the adoption of the postal savings bank plan in his last annual report cities some striking statistics bearing on the habits of immigrating Ms. it estimated that immigrants had landed in this country in the past ten years, and they have sent back to the old country immense sums of money. The figures are shown in the reports of money orders for foreign countries. "This money while it was accumulating," says politics and the essentially religious nature of its fight prevented it from making any serious advances in half a century of effort. But not almost overnight the whole nature of the war has been changed, and the movement has assumed a giant form. No longer does the Prohibitionist aim to advance his cause exclusively through the agitation of his party. Now he has dropped the sentimental arguments. He has turned to the practical side of the question. He has turned to the moments of the world's crime is committed under the influence of liquor. He tells statesmen that by abolishing the traffic in liquor they can eventually cut down, almost abandon, the present expensive system of police guardianship for the community. The advocate for temperance went into the Southern state, and told the people that the state had no greatest menace, was the drunken negro. The negro sober could be controlled, but the black man drunk was a grave peril. The South believed. It knew that he was right. It believed his lead. The country of colonels that knew no justice in the case of the rare old Bourbon of home production abandoned its time-honored indulgence for what it believed the common good. The mint julip, theme of poem and song was thrown into the discard, not that the True Southernner loved it the less, but because he loved more the less, and the felt would come from denying himself. In the West was told the story of how the normal citizen became the bad man, just as soon as whiskey had fired his brain, and made him reckon that he was the one who carried in his pocket. The west listened, and sent its legislature to work on prohibition laws. In the crowded cities of the North the opponents of liquor are quoting themselves, and open the way to wrong doing that sober brains never come to grips. The result of this systematic battle is astonishing. It is the old story of striking at the psychological moment. Alies are being found in the most unexpected places. Men who have themselves been given to the drink have been given to the Anti-Saloon league. No aid is refused so long as it is directed to the ultimate object of the absolute, abolition of the traffic. Politicians of both parties, having their ears to the ground, have felt the force of the movement, and have felt the power to perpetuate their power by endorsing it. A huge snowball rolling down hill and gaining weight and speed at every leap, the anti-saloon fight has been going on for a month. Not less than one-third of the successes were won in the year 1997. The same rate of progress maintained in 1808 will make the place where an old-fashioned New Year, with its conviviality and good cheer dispensed in the old way, a point difficult to locate in Uncle Same's domain. Unexpected. "A modern drug store can supply all wants." "Had a fellow in here yesterday, though," declared the druggist, "who stumped me." "How was that?" "He had a prescription. They still bob up, it seems." # The Rush in New York. "Is this where 'The Giddy Widow' is showing?" "Yep." "Can you book me for two seats for next Christmas?" "Impassible. But I can give you two nice seats for Christmas, 1910." # Not the Same Thing. "Cholly Lister says you told him Mabel Tipote was going to be an actress." "I never told him any such thing." "Why, I'm sure he declared you said she was going on the stage." "Oh, I did tell him that."—Baltimore American. # Our Grievance. The cost of living's going down But bitter is our cup.

MEYER, POSTMASTER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES HE big new man of the cabinet is Postmaster General George von Lengerkeyer Meyer, and his post savings bank scheme has been a leading theme It has been a busy time for the bur- Mr. Meyer, "would naturally have been placed for safety in the postal savings banks. In fact, it has been brought to my attention that money of the municipality is being ignored of our language and suspicious of our private institutions, is being sent home in order that it may be placed in the postal savings banks of their native countries. It is believed that many instances of we had postal savings banks in the United States." He recommends that the postmaster general be given authority to designate all money order post offices and such other institutions as necessary to receive deposits of money, such deposits to be made in even dollars, with $1 as a minimum. In such case postmasters would receipt for deposits in the pass books of the money order, and make daily reports to the postmaster general about that deposits by any one person be limited to $500, that interest at the rate of 2 per cent be paid on them and that the government reimburse itself the payment of interest by lending to the people. It is the idea that the young be encouraged to make deposits, but children under the age of ten, thinks Mr. Meyer, should not be allowed to make money, and their accounts should not be made up of things in several countries of Europe. The government agents abroad have been instructed to gather complete data as to the operation of the system in Europe for the information of the system in congress. The English system makes the shilling the minimum deposit and provides for penny savings through a stamp and card plan. The system in the United Kingdom is especially designed among the young, and postal savings cards are issued on which any person, R, POSTMASTER GENERAL OF THE postmaster general has grasped the needs of his own special department and come to the front at once with ideas as to its betterment, e.g., his friends believe, that he is not going to be a mere figurehead. He wants the necessity basis, he wants a parcel post system established, and he wants the postal savings banks. Another of his plans relates to giving the public better service in the matter of purchase of postage. It often happens that a postmaster makes a buy a postal card finds himself out of postage and at a distance from a post-office. The usual course in such cases is to apply at a drug store, but there is very little for the druggist in dealing in postage, and many have ceased to handle this line of goods. Even if a postmaster made does happen to be one of those who keep postage his clerks may all be busy, and it is a severe test of patience to wait until half a dozen prescriptions are filled just to get one 2-cent stamp. The postmaster general also to save stamp purchases this season not actual profanity, by placing stamps and postal cards on sale in slot machines. If congress will soon be as easy to buy postage stamps as to buy chewing gum, and the sonorous sounding words of the Meyer will be placed on the honor roll of true benefactors of the public. Mr. Meyer is a man after the president's own heart in personality and achievements. He is strenuous physically, and few athletic stunts are too difficult for him. He is a Harvard man, and he has all the polish and social skills he needs. He is involved and association with leaders in the public life of two hemispheres could give. Though in his fiftieth year, he is a young man in appearance and does things only young blood usually attempts. In riding to the hounds he thinks of jumping his horse in a race, giving him tennis, they say that he can give the president or any member of the "tennis cabinet" as hard work to hold the pace as the bishop of London did in the now historic international match on the White House courts. He is a man with a winning has had experiences that even Mr. Roosevelt might envy. One of his exploits was shooting a wild boar when Brachley COPYRIGHT NOT BY WALDON TANGETT UNITED STATES. on a hunt with the king of Italy while he was ambassador at Rome. This was especially so during his diplomatic career. In maintaining large establishments at Rome and St. Petersburg he spent quite a small fortune over and above the amount he received as salary from Uncle Sam. $2.40 PER YEAR. PICKED UP BOX CAR REMARKABLE HAPPENING DESCRIBED BY RAILROADER. "What is the queerest thing that I ever knew of happening to a box car?" repeated the old railroad man who had come up in the service from the locomotive cab. "I think that I myself gave one of them the queerest happening that can come to the box car in its checked career. "It was on the Lehigh valley road a number of years ago. I had a 100-mile drive by the throttle and we were making 45 miles in the rain and wind, with about seven heavy coaches behind. The wind was blowing a gale into our teeth, fairly powdering the rain as it fell in sheets. We were nearing the top of a long grade when suddenly a lone box car on a country siding, driven by the wind, trundled on the sidetrack and bumped over the rails and ties until it was diagonally across the main line, dead ahead of us. "I put on the air, but it was too late to accomplish much. I hit that 200-mile car almost in the middle, teetering, with a tremendous bump, and lifting into the air. When I recovered from the shock that car was astride the boiler and jammed up against the top of the cab, riding there as snugly in balance as a cowboy in the saddle. And we had to leave it there while at 12 or 15 miles an hour we crawled into the next station, six or eight miles up the line." Cargo Right, but Number Wrong. This queer happening, which resulted in the wrecking of the car and coming to the scrap heap, hardly was as queer as mistakes which a painter in the repair shop of a southern Illinois road caused to a coal car several years ago. "I was in the fuel supply department of that road," said an official of a Chicago system, "and my business was to keep a check record on the coal which was delivered to us at one of the supply stations. One day that record showed a car numbered so and so had been shipped in a train loaded with so many tons of coal, and that car wasn't in the train at all. But in checking up the train we discovered a car of another number loaded with the amount of coal billed for the car that wasn't there. Solving the Deep Mystery. "We wrote letters about it, but the company owning the cars couldn't explain. We worried about it for weeks. One day one of the profane men in the office announced that he was going to run down the mystery. He had discovered that the missing car always was of a certain number and that the unexpected car was of a certain other number. The next time the train with the missing and the unexpected car pulled in this man went out to inspect the car that hadn't been billed. The thing had looked for weeks like a joke. "There was the unexpected car of the unexpected number, honestly loaded. It was a car newly overhailed and in good condition, showing its numbering clearly. These numbers, however, always had been read from the one side of the track. It occurred to the investigator that he might look at the other side of the car and he crawled under it. "There the mystery was explained. The careless painter had put one number on one side of the car and another number on the other side. The coal company had taken the car number from the one side of the car while he had read it always from the other side." Car and Locomotive Building Official reports from car and locomotive builders of the United States and Canada show a large increase in the output for 1907 over that of 1906, which up to that time was the record year. There was, however, a heavy falling off in orders, much of the output of the past year having been ordered during 1906. The total number of railroad cars built during 1907 was 283,645, an increase of 4 per cent. over 1906, according to figures from the Railroad Gazette. Of the total number of cars built by manufacturers, 284,188 were for freight service and 5,457 for passenger service; 280,216 were for domestic use and 9,429 for export. The number of passenger cars built during the year shows an increase of more than 70 per cent over the previous year's output. A smaller increase over last year is shown in the locomotive output. The 12 builders in the United States and Canada built locomotives during the period of which 9,565 were used by 789 for export. This is an increase of six per cent. in the total output. The export output increased 11 per cent. as against five per cent. for the domestic output. One for Beasler. A Jersey Central express drew up at a station in the early morning for a few minutes' wait, when one of those restless passengers, a most genial gentleman, stepped out into the cool air on the platform and, drawing a few deep breaths with enthusiasm, observed to the brakeman: "Isn't this invigorating?" "No, sir; this is Bayone" replied the conscientious employee. The genial genial man retired. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL, A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1908. CIVILIZATION'S TRIUMPH. A few years ago Persia was considered a semi-civilized country, the government being an absolute monarchy. Last year the Shah granted a constitution and a parliament. Recent events prove that the Persian people are making great strides and the time is not far distant they will be up to the standards of American civilization as exemplified in Georgia and Mississippi. The following is a cable to the Chicago Record-Herald: "Teterah, Jan. 26.—Advices received here today from Yezid, capital of the Province of Habrame, in central Persia, announce a wholesale jail delivery and a lynching. It appears that a man named Renza was confined in the prison at the governor's residence, charged with murdering his brother. Crowds of citizens assembled, and demanded that the prisoner be handed over to them for punishment, and on the governor refusing to do so his residence was stormed by the mob, who released all the prisoners found in the jail except Renza, who was lynched, the rioters riddling his body with bullets" GAS The Birthday of the Martyred President was Celebrated Wednesday. Carnatio n.Day. "If the legislature acts upon the recommendation of the city council and passes a law fixing the penalty of death for assaults upon women it should frame it with the utmost care. "Such a laa, if loosely drawn would place altogether too much power of life and death in the hands of unscrupulous women. No man with money would be safe in this community if a woman could accuse him of assaulting her, and so swear his life away. Blackmail would hold high carnival in such a condition of affairs. In the South any unscrupulous or excited woman, can subject any Afro-American to lynch law, and instances have occurred in which this has actually been done. Three noted instances of the kind have occurred in one Southern state. The "night riders" of old Kentucky are making life very miserable for the farmers who sell their tobacco to independent purchasers. This seems to us to be as terrible as when the "pateroles" or the "Ku Klux Klans" made the lives of slaves or the "freedmen" just as miserable. In those days very few of the victims were killed but these "night riders" are killing, whipping and are destroying vast amounts of public and private property. They are mostly white people, however, and as they can do no wrong, let them settle it among themselves. But they are setting a very bad example, which we understand the dairymen of Wisconsin have followed in an attempt to prevent milk being shipped to Milwaukee. The Pennsylvania capital grafters, now being tried, deserve great admiration for the scientific methods they introduced for looting the state. Ecee signum: It appears that all this furniture, and much more, was bought by Sanderson by the piece, but was sold to the State "by the foot" at $18.40 a foot. If we now take the dimensions of the mahogany table, which originally cost $40, and compute its feet by multiplying its length by its width, and the result by its height thus: 4 times 8 is 32; 2½ times 32 is 80, and then multiply $18.40 by 80, we reach the sum of $1,472, or the price of 80 cubic feet of table paid by Pennsylvania to Sanderson.

We have just received a copy of the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary for 1908. This book contains 390 pages, neatly bound, it is a well written and interesting volume. It contains a complete series of the study of the International Sunday School Lesson 1908, with the subjects and motto textsf or the lessons of the year 1909. It is the fifth volume and is by far the most complete of its kind There are several interesting facts connected with the publication of this book, possibly, the most important being that it is the first of its kind ever attempted by the Afro-Americans in the United States, and is the only Baptist Commentary published in this country. The Afro-American Baptists have scored a wonderful victory through their secretary, Rev. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., in getting out this edition. The editors of the book are Rev. R. H. Boyd D. D. L.D., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board and founder of the National Baptist Publishing House, and Rev. W. E. Ellington, A. B., the editorial secretary of the Board. The demand for the book has grown from 3,000, the first volume, until the present year it was decided to print 8,000 of the first edition. The indications are the entire edition will be disposed of. Mr. A. K. Clark, the progressive proprietor of the Kendrick Restaurant, has secured new quarters at 156 E. Third street, where he will on next Monday open a first-class hotel and cafe. The hotel has 30 rooms, steam heated, and has all modern conveniences. There will be private dining rooms on the second floor, while the first floor will be devoted to the cafe, where meals may be had to order at all hours. There will be a regular dinner from 12 to 2:30 at 25 cents. Old and new patrons are cordially invited. THE STATE SAVINGS BANK Total Deposits, $3,000,000—Surplus Fund. $60,000.

Contribute to the Gymnasium Fund of the Boys' Culture Club. The Boys' Culture Club takes this opportunity to thank the twenty-seven (27) good citizens of St. Paul for contributing $26 of the $50 asked to pay for the gymnasium outfit which we have contracted for. This $50 was to have been paid on or before October 20, 1907, but owing to the fact that we failed to raise the stated amount on that date, we have asked for time to be extended, and the time was extended 30 days. Will you help us raise the remaining $24 within the next 30 days? Trusting that we have 24 are good friends that will give us $1 each for which we would be very thankful. Send all your contributions to Manager M. A. Bolling, 464 Arundel street. Boy's Culture Club. The Kendrick Cafe, 156 E. Third street, threw open its doors to the public this week and is a pronounced success from the beginning. The appointments are quite elegant. There are eight tables and a large lunch counter. The service is prompt and good and the cuisine par excellence. The menu is rich and his amiable better half, know how properly care for their guests. When you wish a good meal try The Kendrick. The Useful Poppy. The florist was still pale from the Easter rush, but he had earned a great deal of money, and that made him talkative. "Roses and illies yield," he said, "cologne, and violet petals, candied, are edible, but the most useful of all flowers is the poppy. "The juice of the poppy gives us opium. The seed is pleasant and nutrition—poppy seed cake is one of the best cattle foods. And the oil answers a hundred purposes. It is used to mix artist's colors, to cook with (like olive oil), to make soap and in lamps "Truly, beside the industrious poppy, the idle illy and the rose must hang their heads." We Keep on Buying Gems. Despite the fact that the importation of precious stones at the port of New York in February a year ago exceeded all previous records by more than $500,000, the gem importations for the month just passed beat February, 1906, by about $1,200,000, the amount being valued in all at $4,275,300, which is not only the largest amount for any February, but one of the greatest amounts ever brought in in a single month. Of this the cut precious stones and pearls amounted to $3,456,284, while the value of the uncut stones, principally diamonds, $319,016. January and February have started off as record-breaking months in jewel importations. Strange Story of Lost Child. A mother living on a homestead in the bush near Louth, New South Wales, lost her little girl, then two and a half years old, about four years ago. The child had wandered in search of flowers, and no trace could be found of her. News came lately that a little white child had been found in a black's camp in Southwest Queensland. Photographs of the girl were forwarded, which in spite of the change that time and a nomadic life had made, the mother recognized, and her child has now been restored to her. The Committee of twelve is arranging to circulate 50,000 copies of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's recent speech in Edinburgh on the progress of the Afro-American.
