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- Its correspondents are able and energetic. QUEEN VICTORIA King Alfonso Changes Court THE WEDDING OF THE MARRIED GIRL One result of the recent domestic spat between King Alfonso and Queen Victoria will be a complete revision of the cast iron etiquette of the Spanish court, the first act of which began with the discharge of several court attaches. Queen Victoria, an English girl, objected to surveillance by the Spanish court shortly after her marriage to Alfonso. She complained bitterly to the king, but the etiquette was of long standing and Alfonso was afraid to set aside the "sacred precedents." The upshot was that the queen recently returned to her mother on the Isle of Wight, with the declaration that when the king put into effect the reforms she demanded she would return. She said the court was too SOCIETY GIRL A [Image of a person with a bald head and a neutral expression, wearing a simple shirt and pants.] Miss Vera P. Gilbert, the only daughter of C. P. H. Gilbert of Ochre Point and New York, who is a debutante, very attractive and holds the record for the most perfectly gowned young woman at Newport, swam from Spouting Rock Beach to Hazard's Beach, one and three-quarter miles, in one hour and ten seconds. This beats all records made by other so- CAUGHT A SEA BAT One of the rarest specimens of the fish kingdom known to waters contiguous to the North Carolina coast was captured in a seine at Masonboro sound Monday by William Hewlett, a fisherman. The fish is what is called "the sea bat," and it is a perfect reproduction of a leather wing bat on a large scale. The fish is about fifteen inches long and about thirty inches across the back. Strange to state, it had a thin, threadlike tail about fifteen inches in length and on each side of the rear appendage were two perfect formed gloved feet, with a smaller diversion having the exact appearance of a VOL.24.NO.42. "tussy" and when Alfonso, himself not very conventional, sided with the court, she "packed up and left." Alfonso went to England to plead with her, but found her obdurate. He soon discovered that it was a choice between adhering to precedent or losing his wife, and he showed his mettle by deciding that the grandees of the court and the long list of supernumeraries whose jobs for years had been considered sacred would have to shift for themselves. From the most formal household in the world, the royal establishment of Spain promises to become the most democratic. Court attaches and cabinet members are still remonstrating, but Alfonso has set out on his precedent smashing ventures and will not be stopped.

The wind blew stiff off shore, and when Miss Gilbert returned she was not the least exhausted. She used the side stroke, which she did not change from start to finish. She was accompanied in the lifeboat by "Joe" Boyer, swimming master. thumb, with the other part of the hand mittened. The mouth of the strange specimen was about five inches across and on each side of the mouth or the under side of the body there were five "strainers" or holes through which the fish is said to rid itself of refuse products resulting from the forage it picks up at the bottom of the sea. The top of the fish was a dark slate color and the under part of the body was white. One old negro fisherman more than seventy years old stated that this was only the second specimen of the sea bat he had ever seen in his long experience as a fisherman. The specimen, which had a truly uncanny appearance, will probably be sent to the state museum at Raleigh. THE APPEAL. Washington Apartment Houses Contain a Cosmopolitan Crowd. "How many states are represented in the roster of the occupants of the house?" the clerk at one of the biggest Washington apartment houses was asked, and the reply was: "It would be much easier to tell how many are not. We have them from nearly every state in the union." A more categorical elaboration of this assertion would be uninteresting. It is enough to say that one of the big apartment houses numbers among its occupants, when congress is in session, both senators from Idaho, a senator from Oregon, a senator from California, representatives from Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, the secretary of the French legation and scores of other persons equally as diversified with respect to residential antecedents. Another has a senator from Colorado, a senator from Missouri, and representatives from the following states: Ohio, Texas, Colorado, Missouri, Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, New York, Illinois and Minnesota, as well as the counsel of legation of Colombia and other people, official and unofficial, from north, south, east and west. Another apartment house contains two legations, those of Guatemala and Panama, the counsel of the Japanese embassy, a senator from Maryland, one from Utah, and representatives from Illinois, New York, Ohio and Nebraska. The Chilean and Venezuelan legations are in apartment houses, and nearly a score of diplomats have residences in apartment houses. Statesmen as rarely find themselves neighbors with others from their own state as do people not in public life. Whether the natives of various states are distributed among the apartment houses in the same proportion that they are distributed in the city at large it is difficult to tell. It is hard enough to keep track of the number of apartment houses, which are springing up like mushrooms in various parts of the city, and such a task is hereby side-stopped, because there are already figures enough in this article. Mathematics give some people a headache, and this is not a lesson in arithmetic. ANIMALS SENT TO PRESIDENT. Glfta Made Are Mostly Sent to the Zoological Park. No president's family has been the recipient of as many animal pets as has that of President Roosevelt. This is undoubtedly due to the widespread knowledge of the president's fondness for hunting and his interest in everything pertaining to brute creation. With few exceptions the animals presented to the president or his children have been sent to the Zoological park in Washington. Gifts of wild and domestic animals from admirers in foreign countries have not been infrequent. One of the most interesting presents of this kind was that of King Menelik of Abyssinia, who sent the president an Arabian zebra and two ostriches as a token of his esteem and admiration for Mr. Roosevelt. The American animals received at the White House range from white rats and mice to a cinnamon bear or a mountain lion. The most treasured pets of the younger members of the family are their ponies. A Mexican double yellow-head parrot was the favorite of Miss Alice before she married, and the cries of "Alice" by the bird filled the White House for many days after his mistress had left. There is no home in Washington so full of pets of high and low degrees as is the White House. Cleared Up the Situation It happened the night of a big reception at the White House last winter. The local livery stable men were preparing to annex big chunks of musty kale, and they were busy rushing carriages hither and thither. On such occasions the excitement is intense, for these kale-annexing souls try to make one carriage do the work of 20 or thereabouts. The driver of one of these get-rich-quick carriages received an order from his stable foreman to go "and carry the Cuban minister to the White House." With a crack of the whip and a careful assembling of the relns he prepared to obey the order, when a clerk in the establishment shouted, real gently, at him, and told him to hurry around to the Rochambeau. The conflicting orders worried the not over brilliant brain of the colored man and hurt his feelings mightily. So he called a fellow employee to the after his team and proceeded to the office, where his employer was literally surrounded by carriage orders and chaos. "See yere, boss," his voice meandered, "I is suah disturbed 'bout dese yere ordabs. Mr. B. J. say 'Go an g!n de Peculiah ministah, an' de clerk say 'Hurry 'roun' to de Rochambeau ministah. Now, I want fors t' know who is de ministah I is to gitt." The most valuable work the driver did that night was to give occasion for the good laugh which followed. The surcharged air cleared and every order went out on time. To Save Historic Old Steps. Efforts are being made to preserve for the United States government the old steps at the north entrance of the ancient Sirth Street railroad station in Washington, which is now being demolished. The steps have been trod by every president of the United States and before being placed at the entrance to the station they were in service at the Indian Queen tavern, a favorite haunt of Washington.

He did not discuss the above report, but regarding the alliance and the general topic of the relations of China and America he said: "It will be for me, office to proposit come up body.

CLOSING UP SQUARE GROUP OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS NEARLY COMPLETED. When Finished, National Capital Will Have Most Imposing Structures on This Continent, If Not in the World. The doors of a new luxurious office building will swing open for 92 United States senators on their return to Washington in December. The last stone has been set in the monumental structure. Apart from many costly furnishings and fixtures, the building costs the The doors of a new luxurious office building will swing open for 32 United States senators on their return to Washington in December. The last stone has been set in the monumental structure. Apart from many costly furnishings and fixtures, the building costs the government $3,250,000. The interior construction is well under way. The furniture has been contracted for at $80,000. That means, in round numbers, something like $800 for each of the suites of two rooms. Moreover, there is a big subway between this office building and the capitol, through which the senators can travel without exposure to inclement weather. It is among the possibilities that rubber-tired jaunting cars, driven by stored electricity, will be run to and fro for senatorial convenience. Architecturally the building is an ornament to that legislative corner of the federal city. But it is much more than that, for the marble pile stands as next to the last to be completed before the magnificent square of public buildings on Capitol hill will be a reality. It will easily be the most splendid group of imposing public buildings on this continent and, it may be, in the world The capitol, which had cost $13,500,000 up to 1896, and which has been renovated at an expense of $700,000 more since then, occupies the western side of the square. It does not fill in the whole of the space by any means, but looms forth in the midst of the capitol grounds as the most notable of all the many public buildings in Washington. Some time the east front of the old portion of the capitol building may be refaced with marble, so as to improve the architectural appearance and symmetry. That it is estimated, will cost $1,200,000. Otherwise the capitol, which has been a growth in construction for about a half-century, is wellnigh completed. On the south side of the square stands the new house office building of marble. It cost $3,100,000. It was opened to the representatives, with its 400 rooms, last December. Workmen are still putting finishing touches upon it, including outside "treatment." It is almost an exact counterpart, in its exterior, of the senate office building, which is directly opposite, but on the north side and outside of the capitol grounds. The house building fronts on B street south, and the senate building on B street north, as the streets are called in Washington. It is a distance of four city blocks between the two. That is the width of the capitol grounds. Skirting one-half of the eastern boundary of the grounds is the library of congress, claimed by some to be the most beautiful building of its size in the world. It cost $6,500,000. The last structure contemplated for the square is a temple of justice, which will probably cost at least $5,000,000 more. It is to occupy a great square just opposite the northwestern half of the capitol boundary, and it must be a counterpart of the library of congress. Speaker Cannon and Senator Hale, supported by friendly sentiment in both branches of congress, are supposed to be contemplating an appropriation for that new building at the coming session, now that the senate office building is completed. Come from Everywhere. The people of Washington are people from all parts of the United States. In a limited degree they are people from every corner of the world, but the foreign-born population here is not as large in proportion to the native-born population as it is in many other cities. It was in 1900 only 7.2 per cent. in comparison with 37 per cent. for New York, 35.1 per cent. for Boston, 34.6 for Chicago, 22.8 per cent. for Philadelphia, 19.4 per cent. for St. Louis and 12.5 per cent. for Baltimore. On the other hand, only 46.4 per cent. of native-born Washingtonians were born in the District of Columbia, while 74.7 per cent. of Baltimore's population are Marylanders, 50.9 of Boston's people born in Massachusetts, 55 of New York's people born in the Empire state, and 65.3 of Philadelphia's people born in Pennsylvania. These percentages show a striking comparison with the Washington percentage, when the large foreign-born population of Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia and New York and the small foreign-born population of Washington are taken into consideration. Charleston, S. C., affords a much more striking comparison. No less than 90.3 of its inhabitants are natives of South Carolina. Religious Works in Dialect. A missionary deaconess in Liberia has edited in native dialect a book containing the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the doxology and a number of the best-known hymns. The book is not only the first book published in the dialect, but the first successful attempt to make it a written language. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY 4DAMS BROS.

Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, OCT. 17, 1908 THE SUPREME COURT. A prominent Virginian recently said to a reporter for the Washington Herald: "Taft is strong with the conservative Democrats of the State, and he will get a large number of such votes. The one factor that will tell against Bryan and cost him thousands of votes, not only in West Virginia, but throughout the country., is the knowledge that the United States Supreme Court will be practically reorganized during the next four years; and the country is not yet ready to intrust a man with Bryan's record to appoint judges to our highest court." We commend the above statement to the serious attention of the Afro-American voter. There is little difficulty in predicting what sort of an institution the Supreme Court would be, under Bryan's manipulation. If he should be elected, it would be mainly through the instrumentality of the solid southern vote—the greater part of his electoral vote would come from that quarter—and his appointees would certainly hall from the same section. The main effort of such O. HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT Next President of the United States. "For a length of time race bitter there will be an outbreak, a mob will is cruelty, manifesting itself in the saults upon perfectly innocent people impossible to read accents of this sort indignation that there can reside in beastly impulse and motive."—Willia a court would be to overturn to the full extent all the legislation of the Republican party. In this connection it should be remembered that there are many weak-kneed Republicans who think that much of the legislation enacted during the reconstruction period is a mistake, and that some are ready to admit that even the 15th amendment was a mistake. Thus far, there has been no serious attempt to enforce the provisions of the amendments, but Judge Taft has publicly and emphatically declared that he favors such enforcement. It seems that the above should insure to Judge Taft the earnest support and the vote of every Afro American. THE LABORER AND HIS JOB. Judge Taft recited again. "Another point that I distinctly decided in those cases was that no temporary restraining order or injunction could issue to prevent a man's leaving the employ of a railway, and therefore that no injunctions could issue to restrain men from acting in concert and going on a strike." On the contrary it is a well-known fact that in most, if not all of the Southern states, there are laws which virtually make it a felon for any employee to leave his job. Such is the true intent and scope of the law, although that intent is disguised as much as possible. The Democrats rule and control in every one of the Southern states and, in these states, the condition of not only the laboring man, but the laboring woman and the laboring child is deplorable. In P. H. Copyright, 1908, Harris & Ewing, Wash., D. C. HON. JAMES'S. SHERMAN. Next Vice President of the United States. "As a Nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the Afro-American be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our civilization; their prosperity is our prosperity; their debasement would be our misfortune. The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, that will better their prospect, of higher attainment: "James S. Sherman ness seems to be abated, and then be formed, developing the most fiend-blindest and most unreasonable assimply because of their color. It is without having one's blood boil with the human breast such a savage and m H. Taft. Texas, laboring women are sent to the rock-pile. And, moreover, as to Mr. Bryan himself, he still entertains hopes of cutting the wage of the laborer in half, for he said in Philadelphia a few days ago, explaining why he was not insisting now as he did eight and twelve years ago upon free coinage of silver and the 16-to-1 proposition, that unexpected discoveries of gold have given the increase which was demanded by the Republican party as well as the Democratic party. In other words, Mr. Bryan believes in the policy of the liquor dealer, who whenever he drew out a pint of whisky, poured in a quart of water. THE PRESIDENT IN THE CAM PAIGN. We have not one particle of sympathy for the outcry that has been made because the President has taken an active part in the political campaign. We care little for the fact that former Presidents have acted differently and fail to see that Mr. Roosevelt is bound to follow their example. The President is a citizen of the country, and more accurately informed as to its conditions and needs than, perhaps, any other citizen, and it therefore becomes his sacred duty to use every means in his power to insure prosperity and prevent disaster. Under the old Roman law it was made the especial duty of the consul to see that the republic sustained no damage, and the President is following a precedent much earlier than the times of Washington. And the patron saint of the Democracy, Thomas Jefferson, as is well known, in the mats ter of the purchase of the Louisiana Territory, acted in violation of what the people thought was his duty and the limitations of his office. But the people vindicated Jefferson just as they will Mr. Roosevelt. Besides, mr. Bryan provoked the attack. "Can you think of anything dirtier or nastier than eating with a nigger?" "I would rather eat out of a trough with a hog than to eat with a nigger. I would rather drink pot liquor out of a pot with a hound pup than eat with a nigger." The Democratic Senator, Jeff Davis of Arkansas. If anyone supposes that the Afro-Americans of the country have any intention of deserting the Republican party, he is badly mistaken. The Afro-American vote will go as it has always gone, to the G. O. P. Somehow or other, Bryan's jumping into the President refinds us of the historic bull that jumped into the locomotive. We may admire Bryan's pluck, but we have a very poor opinion of his description. The Afro-American can never be charged with ingratitude. He realizes what the Republican party has done for him and will stand by the party in this campaign as he has done in the past. The question which seems to be agitating many of the minds of the Southern brethren is whether, or not, "The Peerless" is on a still hunt for the Afro-American vote up north. Standard Oil has no political preferences nor prejudices. Democrat, Republican, Populist and Socialist—are all good enough for Archbold. He rakes them in comin' an goln'. We do not claim that Bryan, if elected, would appoint Haskell, Tom Taggart and Vardaman as Supreme judges, but, as we have doubts upon that point, we'll go for Taft. Under the Roosevelt administratio t there are 11 Afro-Americans in the diplomatic and consular service and their salaries aggregate $35,000 per annum. Uncle Joe Cannon say some politi ticians have hollow-horn. We hope Messrs. Bryan, Haskell & Co. will not regard this as a personality. Bryan is really the advance agent of misery and want, and if he is elected, those who voted for him will see the point next year. The government printing office at Washington, D. C., employs 552 Afro- Americans, and they earn $376,180 every year. The Afro-American who fails to vote for Taft at this time deserves the contempt of his people. The Democracy has stripped the Afro-American of all his rights in the South by force and trickery. We must stand by law and order, we must stand by prosperity, we must stand by William H. Taft. Once a prosperous man called Bill Bryan Journeyed far and wide and was made quite a lion. Don't vote "early and often," But vote once, "tis your right." Tis an honor, my comrades, To help win the right. Genial Bill and Sunny Jim March right, forward, Both in trim. The Peerless One on his long-eared beast. And he shrieks as he prods that jaded mule. "Shall the people rule? Shall the people rule?" * * * * The perennial candidate smiles with glee. Both hands are winners; so what cares he? If he can't be president, he surely can Be a well-paid and honored "also ran." Next year perchance an airship His pleasure will await. Vote Like a Man. Come all ye staunch Republicans, difference let's ban; The day draws night when we must vote, Must each vote like a man. May lose if we're o'er confident, Aid our opponents' plan, So every good Republican Must vote—vote like a man. It is a glorious privilege, Think otherwise who can. Were we debarred, we'd rage, We're not, so vote, vote like a man. E'en after death the Democrats Return to help their clan We fight against tremendous odds So vote, vote like a man.

WILLIAMS COMPANY. 1208 W. Taylor Street. Chicago; Ill. Proposed Amendments —TO THE— Constitution —OF— Minnesota —BY— TheLegislature General Session, 1907. St. Paul, Minn., May 1st, 1908. Hon. Julius A. Schmaltz, Secretary of State— Sir: As required by Section 25 of the Revised Laws, as amended, I have the honor to furnish you here, as a purpose and effect, the respective amendments proposed to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota by the Legislature of 1907, and which are made available to the electors of a valid State at the General Election of 1908. FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT The first proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 477 of the Laws of 1907. By this amendment it is sought to repeal Sections one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4) and seventeen (17) of Article nine (9) section being the amendment to said Article nine (9), adopted in 1896), which sections now read as follows: "Section 2. The legislature shall prescribe the estimated ordinary expenses of the state for each year, and whenever it shall happen that such ordinary expenses of the state for any year shall exceed the estimated ordinary expenses of the legislature shall provide for levying a tax for the ensuing year sufficient, with other sources of income, to pay the deficiency of the preceding year, together with the taxes imposed on the income. But no law levying a tax or taxing other provisions for the payment of interest or principal of bonds denominated Minnesota taxes, or the effect or in force until such law shall 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 all money, credits, investments in bonds, stocks, joint stock companies, or property, according to its legal and personal property, according to its legal and personal money; but public burying grounds, public school houses, public hospitals, academies, colleges, universities, and all seminaries of learning, churches, or religious poses, and houses of worship, institutions of purely public charity, public property used exclusively for any public purpose, amount not exceeding in value two hundred dollars for each individual, shall, by general laws, be exempt from taxation. "Section 4. Laws shall be passed for taxing the notes and bills discounted or purchased, moneys loaned, and all other property, effects, or dues of every description, of all banks and of all bankers, so that all property employed in the business may be subject to a taxation equal to that imposed on the property of individuals. Defective Page or all such cases, to impose such tax upon any or all property thereof within this state, and in either case by taking as the basis of such imposition the proportionate business, earnings, mileage or other expenses of such property or hereafter existing of any such companies, persons or owners, transacted or existing in this state, in relation to the entire business, mileage or quantity of such property, companies, persons or owners as aforesaid; or in such other manner, or by such other method as the legislature may determine; but the proceeds of such taxes upon mining property shall be distributed between the state and the various politically important companies whose name is situated, in the same proportion as the proceeds of taxes upon real property are distributed: Provided further, that nothing in this act contained shall operate to minimize the assessment of such property, business blocks or property owned by any such corporation, person, firm or company except in the manner provided by the ordinary methods of taxation." "Sec. 1. The power of taxation shall never be surrendered, suspended or contracted away. Taxes shall be uniform shall be levied and collected for public purposes, but public burrying grounds, public school houses, public hospitals, academies, colleges, universities, and churches of the church of the church property used for religious purposes, and houses of worship, institutions of purely public charity, and public purpose, shall be exempt from taxation and there may be exempted from taxation personal property not exceeding in amount or size of a family, as the legislature may determine. But the legislature may authorize municipal corporations to levy and collect assessments for local improvements upon property benefited from the taxation, and nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect, modify or repeal any existing law providing for the taxation of the gross earnings of railroads." The amendment was submitted and voted upon at the last election and was declared carried. But a contest was instituted by interest in the amendment was not carried. That contest is now pending in the courts and it was on that account that the legislature decided to re-submit the amendment to the people, so that however the contest may be resolved, the power granted by the amendment. For the purpose of discussing the effect of the amendment I will assume that the amendment is submitted at the last election did not carry. The purpose and effect of this amendment would be to greatly enlarge the power of the legislature with reference to the subject of taxation. Section one (1) as it now stands provides that all taxes imposed shall be original and may be—on all forms of property, and all property upon which a tax is imposed is required to have a CASH VALUATION equalized throughout the state. Section two (2) as it now stands provides that personal property and necessary taxes annually be levied the necessary expenses of the state. That is the duty of the legislature without any constitutional direction. Section three (3) as it now stands provides that property and personal property, and MONEYS, BEDS, VESTMENTS IN BONDS AND STOCKS, shall be assessed according to their true value in money. Section four (4) as it now stands provides that property employed in banking shall subject to a tax equal to that imposed on MONEYS, BEDS, VESTMENTS in a repetition of the requirements of Sections one (1) and three (3), as no rational person would claim that banking capital should be exempt from taxation. Section seventeen (17) as it now stands is intended that section to relieve from the operation of sections one (1) and three (3), above quoted, property of the classes therein enumerated, so that a gross earnings act could be applied tothe instead of other provisions. Owing to the provisions of sections one (1) and three (3) of the present Constitution many amendments were from time time added so as to permit taxes to be imposed on the state. The state otherwise than upon a cash valuation equalized throughout the state. We have among these exceptions railroad gross earnings taxes; municipal frontage taxes; taxes authorized; and the gross earnings taxes authorized by said section seventeen (17). Several exemptions from taxation are also provided for, but as these exemptions not changed by the proposed amendment I will make no further reference to them. The amendment which, if adopted, would take the place of all of the sections simple and plain. Above referred to, is simple and plain. Constitution is necessary to authorize the imposition of the taxes necessary for the support of the state and its various political purposes. Constitution is inherent in government. This proposed amendment declares that this inherent power of taxation shall never be surrevered, suspended or contracted away; that taxes shall be imposed for public purposes, and that the same class of subjects. Should this amendment be adopted all property of every kind in the state would be subject to taxation, according to the method the state would impose. Only that the tax was invoked for a public purpose and was uniform on the same class of subjects. Under this amendment every tax law we now have on the statute books would continue to be valid, and the amendment all limitations on the power of the legislature 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 adopted in 1888, as contained in the said Settlement Act, but in their place this amendment would give the legislature greater authority. Under this amendment the power to impose inheritance taxes would be unlimited, and the tax would be valid. The gross earnings tax on railroads would not be affected by this amendment, as the Constitution provides that money be changed without submitting the law, and that the vote of the people. But with this amendment various new forms of taxation could be imposed, notably an income tax, a tomanage tax on iron ore and a registry tax on mortgages. Under the present Constitution the tomanage tax on mortgages owned by non-residents. A register which would be valid under this amendment, would reach all mortgages alike. While the Constitution requires all subject taxes, we have a cash valuation with the tax. In the state, no proper income tax could be imposed. SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The second proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 472 of the Laws of Minnesota and amendment it is sought to repeal Section sixteen (16) of Article nine (9) of the Constitution, which section now reads as follows: To the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of public highways and bridges, they may create a fund to be known as the 'State Road and Bridge Fund'. Sale fund shall be used for monies accruing from the income derived from the internal improvement land fund, or that may hereafter accrue to sale fund, and also include all funds accruing to any state road and bridge fund, however provided. The legislature is authorized to add to such fund for the purpose of constructing or improving a state road, and this state, by providing, in its discretion, an annual tax levy upon the property of any one-twentieth (1-20) percent exceed in any year all the taxable property within the state "The legislature is also authorized to provide for the appointment, by the governor of the state, of a board to be known as the 'State Highway Commission', consisting of three (3) members, who shall perform such duties as shall be compensation other than person responsible. "Such commission shall have, except superintendence of the construction of state roads and bridges and shall use such fund in the construction thereof and shall use such fund in the construction of cities in the state upon an equitable basis. Provided further, that no county shall receive in any case more than three (3) one (1) per cent of the total fund thus provided and expended during such year; and, provided further, that no more than one (1) per cent of the total fund in any year shall be expended for bridges, and in no case shall more than one-third (1-3) of the cost of construction or improving any road or bridge by the state from such fund, and to substitute therefor the following: *Section 16. For the purpose of lending aid in construction and improvement in public works there is hereby created a fund to be known as the 'State Road and Bridge Fund'. said fund shall include all morrows investments in the internal improvement land fund, or that may hereafter accrue to said fund, and shall also include all morrows accounting any state road and bridge investments. The legislature is authorized to add to such fund, for the purpose of constructing this state by providing, in its discretion, for an annual tax levy upon the property of this state. The purpose and effect of this amendment is to authorize the legislature to levy upon all the property of the state by the tax payable for the benefit of the roads and bridges therein, and in so far removes the limitation which now exists in the Constitution, whereby the legislature is prevented by law only for tax exceeding one-twelfth (1-20) of the mill on the taxable property within the state. The amendment further authorizes the legislature to provide salary and compensation, including personal expenses incurred in the performance of duty by the highway commission, or any other like other entrusted by law with similar duties. Finally, this amendment removes the limitation which now exists in the Constitution upon the powers of the highway and bridge and in the distribution of the road and bridge and the amount which the states may pay from such fund toward the cost of constructing or improving any road or bridge, and leaves the whole management of the highway under the same law, as the legislature shall deem wise. The adoption of this amendment will not interfere with the power of the legislature to create a highway commission and define its powers, nor will it interfere with the authority of tenure of office of the present commission. THIRD PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The third proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 379 of the Laws of Minnesota for the year 1907. By this amendment it is sought to add the following: (1) Section 1907(b) (8) of the Constitution as a new section: "Section 17. The legislature my provide for the payment by the State of Minnesota of damages to growing crops by hail and wind, or either, and to produce such damages upon the land, to pose a specific tax upon lands, the owners of which, at their option, have listed the same with county auditors for that purpose, and no payment shall be made to county auditors except from the fund as provided." The purpose and effect of this amendment is to authorize the legislature to permit the state to become the trustee in the case of any damage to the land for the payment of damages to growing crops by hall or wind, or both. This fund will be used to pay the taxation tax upon the lands of such persons ONLY as shall VOLUNTARILY list the same with their respective county auditors for such purpose. There can be no tax for such purpose imposed on the land by the state. Its adoption will authorize the legislature to direct that the taxing machinery be used to raise such funds. The tax necessary to raise such fund and to provide for the disbursement of the same by the officers of the state, but any other person who is the son of damage by hall or wind will have to be made from said fund and from no other. The state would assume no responsibility beyond the amount of such tax and could not further be rendered liable. FOURTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT The fourth proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 480 of the laws of Minnesota for the year 1907. By this amendment it is sought to repeal the provisions it is sought to repeal in Article seven (7) of the Constitution, which section now reads as follows: "Every person who by the provisions of this article shall be entitled to vote at any election shall be eligible to any office which now is, or hereafter shall be elective, the people of the district wherein he shall have resided thirty days previous to such election, except as otherwise provided in this Constitution, or the Constitution and laws of the United States," and to substitute therefor the following: "Every person who by the provisions of this article shall be entitled to vote at any election shall be eligible to any office which now is, or hereafter shall be elective, the people of the district wherein he shall have resided thirty days previous to such election, except county auxiliary intendants of schools, who shall be required to have educational qualifications, the legislature, and except as otherwise provided in this Constitution, or the Constitution and laws of the United States." The purpose and effect of this amendment is to authorize the legislature to require all public school educational qualifications, in addition to all the other qualifications now required by law, for any person seeking the office of county superintendent of schools. As the Constitution now stands any legal voter is eligible to the office of county superintendent of schools. The foregoing four proposed amendments constitute all the amendments proposed for adoption at the ending General Election. Yours respectfully, EDWARD T. YOUNG Attorney General.

The Ramsey County Afro-American Club, formerly located on Cedar street, is now located on the second floor of 115 E. Third street, with everything new but the name. The membership is growing daily, demonstrating the popularity of the club and the board of management. The appointments of the new club are far superior to those of the old club, and it is now a thing of beauty ad a joy forever. President Phelps and Secretary De Lyons are up-to-date in their methods and their management of the club leaves nothing wanting. Chairman Walter T. Lemon has named the County Republican Committee as follows: 1st ward. Andrew Newgren; 2d ward. H. P. Kellner; 3d ward. John W. White; 4th ward. Emil C. Schroeder; 5th ward. Joseph Novotny; 6th ward.

There were two magnificent audiences present last Sunday. Mr. C. Williams sang two selections, and to say he is the finest tenor that has been heard in St. James is putting it mildly. He has kindly offered his services, and will be seen in the chior every Sunday morning. Mr. Robert Hatton united with the church, and will have charge of one of the young men's departments. Quarterly meeting to-morrow. Rev. E. G. Jackson, the new presiding elder, will preach morning and evening. Communion at 3 o'clock. Rev. John M. Henderson, D.D., of St. Peter, Minneapolis, will preach the sacramental sermon. Rev. J. L. Wharton of St. James, Minneapolis, will also be present. The One More Effort Club met at Mrs. Lenora Cox's Tuesday night. The house was crowded. Rev. Jackson of Wilberforce addressed the club. The club will be entertained next Tuesday evening at the beautiful home of Mrs. W. L. Burton, 650 Fuller street. This will, possibly, be the greatest meeting of the year, as three new ministers will be present.isses Birdella Robinson, Helen Anderson and Frances Elliott, the Program committee, will furnish a splendid committee, Messrs. F. L. D. Parker, Robert Hatton, Edward Shepherd, B. C. A. Carch, John Dawkins and R. C. Redd compose the Bulletin Committee, and all matter for publication or notices to be read will be received by either of these young men. RD Specialty - Painless extracting, Crown and Bridge Work.

In accordance with my primary campaign promise, I will again say to the Afro-American people of St. Paul that when elected I will appoint a representative Afro-American man to a position in the county auditor's office of equal importance and dignity to that held by other clerks. I will make good that promise when elected; and the man I will appoint will hold his position two years and not for two months as was the case with the two Afro-American men who received an "appointment" under the present County Auditor, who is my opponent in this campaign, will this apply to me for sole purpose of receiving the votes of the Afro-American citizens of this city but for the reason that more than two-thirds of the Afro-American people of St. Paul are property owners and taxpayers, and as such are entitled to the same representa- d every other class of our citizens, the two Afro-American men who under the present county auditor, lead them to the jumping off place. s.
