The Appeal

You Must Vote The Republican Ticket Straight! THE REPUBLICAN ATTITUDE Gems of Rhetoric and Oratory From the Pens and Tongues Of Prominent Republicans of the Country Re ative to the Afro-American People VOL. 24. NO. 44. THE REPUBLIC Gems of Rhetoric and Pens and Of Prominent Republican to the Afro-Ar "Dishonor Him is to Dishonor the Republic itself." "Ceasing to be a slave, the former victim has become not only a man but a citizen, admitted alike within the pale of humanity and within the pale of citizenship. As a man he is entitled to all the rights of man, and as a citizen he becomes a member of our common household with equal ity as the prevailing law. No longer an African, he is an American; no longer a slave, he is a common part of the Republic, owing to his patriotic allegiance in return for protection of equal laws. Insult him is to insult an American citizen. Dishonor him is dishonor to the Republic itself. Our rights are his rights; our equality his equality; our privileges and immunities are his great freehold.— Charles Sumner. The United States Must Aid Race. The United States Must Aid Race. "The Afro-American race owes allegiance to the same flag and lives in the same country, and the United States must use all its resources to aid in the development of the race." —William H. Taft, at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., May, 1908. Efforts to Degrade Must Be Fought Efforts to Degrade Must Be Fought. "The time is ripe for serving notice on the country that further efforts in any section of the land to degrade the Afro-American to a servile position; to create that impossible thing, a Reformation that would be tamed but not represented, shall be fought from now on. Leave the murdering in cold blood to the race that proudly calls itself superior, the better civilized."—Oswald Garrison Villard, Editor New York Evening Post. Badge of Inferiority Against Public Policy. "Not only will the nation at large insist that the political rights granted by the Constitution shall be secured to every citizen, but it will insist also NO CLASS LEGISLATION. (From Sherman's Speech of Acceptance) I emphasize as my party's breed and my faith that in legislation and administration favor should be extended to no class, no sect, no race. To foster class hatred, to foster discontent, is un-Republican and un-American. Our party stands on the declaration that all men are created with equal rights, and it will have no part in the enactment or execution of any law that does not apply alike to all good American citizens. BISHOP A. GRANT Of the A. A. M. E. Church Says the Afro-American M. G. O. P. Support the M. G. O. P. I can hardly believe that any number of our people will support the National Democratic ticket. And should we do so, it will be one of the strongest arguments that can be produced against us, and that we do not rise to the dignity of American citizenship; that we do not attach proper importance to the ballot, which is the only weapon of warfare that the poor man has to protect his political and civil rights; that we do not appreciate the untiring efforts and sacrifices of some of the best men in the world has ever produced; that we are not afraid of the many advantages secured to our people in the last forty-two years by the publican party. In fact, t is unreasonable to leave the true, and the tried and to be trusted selves upon those who are giving our statemeets from time to time that they favor our disfranchisement, and who have not expressed a a desire to have our support and co-operation. BISHOP GEO. W. CLINTON Of the A. M. E. Zion Church Says Freedom and Opportunity Have Come Through the Republic- can Party Whatever of greatness has come to the country through government; whatever of freedom and opportunity have come to the Afro-American as a man, as a citizen, have come through the system in the hands of the Republican party. If the Afro-American still retains his citizenship and the privilege to exercise the franchise anywhere in the United States, the constitutional rights of sovereignty, union, the Republican party alone is responsible for such privileges and rights. BISHOP J. W. SMITH Of the A. M. E. Zion Church Says The Republican Party is the Refuge of the Race. If the Afro-American voter will carefully and seriously compare the bold and public utterances in the Republican platform with the brutal words of Mr. Vardaman and the silence of a democratic platform, he will be compelled to least acknowledge to himself that the Republican party is still his political refuge and strength. What the Race Owes the Republican Party. We cannot really believe that any Afro-American has an intention to that he shall be protected in his civil rights. It is against public policy that a badge of inferiority should be placed by public authorities on any class of citizens. This infringement of civil rights, strikes at the very fundamental principle of the American commonwealth."—Rev. A. S. Crapsley, D. D., Rochester, N. Y. Not a Mistake to Give Citizenship. "Instead of asserting that it was a mistake to give the Afro-American the rights of citizenship, we should raise our thoughts and energies to raise him to qualify him to exercise his precious right. We should educate him and do everything in our power to make a good citizen of him. He needs encouragement, and we owe it to ourselves to do all in our power to elevate him."—Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois. The 15th Amendment Has Helped. "I cannot agree with those who think that the Afro-American has not progressed or that the 15th Amendment has not helped him. In the north, where the proportion of Afro-Americans to whites is small, the improvement of of course, been more rapid than in the South, in the high average of intelligence among the Afro-Americans in any one of the middle western states."—Senator Albert J. Hopkins of Illinois. Disfranchisement Not Justified "The Afro-American has done nothing that justifies the Southern Democrat in discriminating against him politically, except that he votes the Republican ticket on at least all national questions. If I am not much mistaken those states which have disfranchised the Afro-American will in the near future greatly regret their action."—Senator C. D. Clark of Wyoming. vote for Bryan, but the Chicago Tribune is not sure upon that matter. It says: "If the past is recalled by the Negro he will not fall to appreciate the fact that every privilege he has in this country came to him at the hands of the Republican party. Every proposition was fought by the democrats over the Negro position following the close of the Civil War. The historian of the United States tells its conclusive story on those points, Freedom, manhood, education, suffrage, opportunity were given by the party of which Taft is now the chosen leader." The above shows what the Afro-American owes to the Republican party, and it is fair to state what he owes to Mr. Bryan's role, as follows: Two hundred and fifty years of slavery, peonage, jim crowism, lynching and degradation.

Proposed Amendments —TO THE— Constitution —OF— Minnesota —BY— The Legislature 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 disposition to be sent to the electors of the respective amendments proposed to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota by the Legislature of 1907, and which are applicable to the State of Idaho State at the General Election of 1908. FIRST PROPOSED AMENDMENT The first proposed amendment is contained in 1907. By this amendment it is sought to repeal Sections one (1), two (2), three (3), and four (4) of Constitution (the ninth) of Constitution (the latter section being the amendment to said Article 1907), which now reads, in 1896, Mrs. John Raiser has had the unusual experience of being married to two men of the same name, who are in no way related, and neither of them has seen the other. This fact came out when the woman applied to the county clerk for a license to wed John Raiser, a Muncie man. She said she had married another John Raiser in Kewickay a few years earlier, and she came from him. The second husband said that he knew nothing of the first. and to substitute therefor the following: This proposed constitutional amendment was submitted and voted upon at the state legislature, but not ratified. But a contest was instituted by interested parties, claiming that the amendment was not carried. That contest is now being contested, and that account that the legislature decided to re-submit the amendment to the people, so that however the content may be altered, the power granted by the amendment. For the purpose of discussing the effect of the amendment, the same amendment submitted at the last election, did not carry. Because of this amendment would be to greatly enlarge the power of the legislature with reference to the subject of taxation. Section one of the amendment imposes taxes imposed be equal—as near as may be—on all forms of property, and all property upon which a tax is imposed. ALL LEGISLATION equalized throughout the state. Section two (2) as it now stands requires the legislature to levy the necessary taxes imposed on all persons and persons of the state. That is the duty of the legislature without any constitutional direction. Section three (3) as it now stands provides that all real and personal property, including MONEYS, CREDITS and INVENTMENTS IN BONDS AND STOCKS, be required according to their true value in money. Section four (4) as it now stands provides that property employed in banking must be deposited on the property. This is only a repetition of the requirements of Sections one (1) and three (3), as no rational exemption is imposed on capital should be exempt from taxation. Section seventeen (17) as it now stands is not easy to understand, but it was intended to be made clear that the operation of sections one (1) and three (3), above quoted, property of the classes themselves enumerated, so that gross earnings from the operation of sections one (1) and three (3) of the present Constitution many amendments were from time to time added so as to permit taxes to be imposed on the kinds of property otherwise than upon the property equalized throughout the state. We have among these exceptions railroad gross earnings from inheritance taxes; and the gross earnings taxes authorized by said section seventeen. Several exemptions from taxation are also provided for, but as these exemptions are not changed by the proposed amendment, I will make no further refinement. The amendment which, if adopted, would take the place of all of the sections simple and plain. No provision of the Constitution is necessary to authorize the imposition of the taxes necessary for the implementation of the constitutional subdivisions. The power of taxation is inherent in government. This proposed amendment would be inherent in the power of taxation shall never be dereed, suspended or contracted away; that taxes shall be imposed for public purposes; that the same class of subjects. Should this amendment be adopted all property of every kind in the state would be subject to the same law as the legislature saw fit to adopt, provided only that the tax was leaved for a public purpose and was uniform on the same basis as the state. Every amendment every tax law we now have on the statue books would continue to be valid, because under this amendment all limitations would be taken away. The adoption of this amendment would, in addition, adopt the so-called Inheritance tax amendment that adopted in 1898, as contained in Section seventeen (17), to give the legislature greater authority. Under this amendment the power to impute taxes would be given, and any form of gross earnings tax would be valid. The gross earnings tax amendment, as the Constitution provides that they cannot be changed without submittal of the amendment, as the Constitution votes of the people. But with this amendment various new forms of taxation could be imposed on mortgage tax on iron and the registry tax on mortgages. Under the present Constitution we would be able to non-residents. A registry which would be valid under this amendment, would be able to all mortgages alike, and to the objects of taxation to have a cash valuation with the tax equalized throughout the no proper Income tax could be imposed.

Before the Times. Gustave Dore, who is said to have drawn his first hint of the Infarto from the London streets, lived too soon. He waited for the motor omnibus period. SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT: The second proposed amendment, contained in the report of the state of Minnesota for the year 1907, to this amendment it is sought to repeal Section sixteen (16) of Article nine (9) of the highway and bridge section, which section now reads as follows: "For the purpose of lending aid in the construction of highways and bridges, there is hereby created a fund to be known as the 'State Road and Bridge Fund'. Said fund shall be used for the construction of any road that come derived from investments in the internal improvement land fund, or that may hereafter accrue to said fund, and the funds may be used for any state road and bridge fund, however provided the legislature is authorized to add to such fund for the purpose of constructing or improving roads and bridges of this state, by providing, in its discretion, for the construction of any state road and bridge of this state of not to exceed in any year one-twentieth (1-2) of one (1) mill on the taxable property within this state, by providing the appropriate provide for the appointment, by the governor of the state, of a board to be appointed to the position, consisting of three (3) members, who shall perform such duties as shall be prescribed by law without salary or compensation." "Such commission shall have general jurisdiction over all state roads and bridges, and shall use such fund in the construction thereof and over all state roads and bridges, and shall use such cities in the state upon an equitable basis. Provided further, that no county shall reconstitute a road or bridge per cent or less than one-half (1) of one (1) per cent of the total fund thus construced, and, provided further, that no more than one-third (1-3) of such fund accrual be bridged, and in no case shall more than one-third (1-3) of the cost of construc-tion be paid by the state from such fund. and to substitute therefor the following: "Section 16. For the purpose of lending aid in the construction and improvement of roads, the state Road and Bridge Fund shall fund the construction and acquisition from the income derived from investments in the internal improvement land fund, or that may hereafter accrue funds accruing to any state road and bridge fund, however provided, to add to such fund, for the purpose of constructing or improving roads and bridges of this state, by providing, in its discretion, the funds accruing to any state road and bridge fund, however provided, to add to such fund, for the purpose of constructing or improving roads and bridges of this state," and effect of this amendment is to authorize the legislature to levy upon all the property of the state any amount necessary, in its judgment, for the construction and improvement thereof, and in so far removes the limitation which now exists in the Constitution, whereby the legislature prevented the construction and improvement of one-twentieth (1-20) of one (1) mill on the taxable property within the state. This amendment further authorizes the legislature to provide salary and compensation, in the person of the officer, for the duty of the highway commission, or any other like officer entrusted by law with similar duties. Finally, this amendment removes the limitation which imposes upon the powers of the highway commission in the distribution of the road and bridge fund of the state thereby au- doring the state's responsibility to pay from such fund toward the cost of constructing or improving any road or bridge, and leaves the whole management of the highway to the legislature shall deem wise. The adoption of this amendment will not limit the highway commission to create a highway commission and define its powers, nor will it intervene in the office of the present commission. THIRD PROPOSED AMENDMENT The third proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 379 of the Laws of Missouri and amendment it is sought to add to the following section to Article nine (9) of the Constitution as a new section. The statute may provide for the payment by the State of Missouri of damages to growing crops by the county, to provide a fund for that purpose, may impose a specific tax upon land the owner owns, to the same with county auditors for that purpose, and no payment shall be made of any such damages except from the county. The purpose and effect of this amendment is to permit the state to become a legislature to collect the collection and disbursement of a fund for the payment or damages to growing crops. The state may be to be created and maintained by a specific tax upon the lands of such persons for such purpose. There can be no tax on such persons with same with their respective county auditors for such purpose. There can be no tax on any owner who does not consent there to. Its adoption will authorize the legislature to raise such fund, and machinery of the state be used to level and the tax necessary to raise such fund, and the same by the officers of disbursement of the same by the officers of disbursement of payments to be made by the state by reason of damage by hall or wind will have no other. The state would assume no responsibility beyond the amount of such damage and could not further be rendered liable. FOURTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT. The fourth proposed amendment is contained in Chapter 480 of the Laws of Minnesota and it is sought to repeal the provisions of Section seven (7) of Article seven (7) of the Constitution, which section now reads "Every person who by the provisions of this article shall be entitled to vote at any election shall be eligible to any office held by the people in the district wherein he shall have resided thirty days previous to such election, except as otherwise proclaimed and laws of the United States. and to substitute therefor the following: "Every person who by the provisions of "this person shall be entitled to vote at any election, and is eligible to be office which now is, or hereafter shall be, by the people in the district wherein he shall have resided thirty days previous to the election, in county superintendents of schools, who are required to have educational qualifications to be determined by the legislature, and required to be admitted in this Constitution, or the Constitution and laws of the United States." The purpose and effect of this amendment are to require educational qualifications, in addition to all the other qualifications now required for any person seeking the office of county superintendent. As the Constitution now stands any legal voter is eligible to the office of county superintendent of schools. The foregoing four proposed amendments proposed for adoption at the enduring General Election. Yours respectfully, EDWARD JOYING, Attorney General.

WHERE BROKERS ARE LONG ON TIME AT THE ENGINE ROOM. READING LADIES' ADVERTISING ADVERTISMENT. FIGURING OUT A PROBLEM. If there is any subject of conversation that brokers overlook on the morning trip of the Sandy Hook boat from the New Jersey reserves to Wall street it has not been noticed to any appreciable extent. Several hundred brokers find themselves compelled to be idle for an hour, with nothing to do but talk, and so the talk flows. From the latest stock tip to the newest shade in cravats is a leap taken easily and gracefully. The HOW THEY DO GOETHE AT THE DIVER Once Marienbad had come into being it lost no time in making its name. In 1821 Goethe had arrived for his first "cure," and the name of the hotel where King Edward is lodged to-day commemorates the early connection of the place with the court of Welmar. He was struck by the rapid development of the town. It put him in mind, he writes, of one of those towns of North America where the virgin forest cleared one year to make room for a city the size of Goethe was the first and perhaps the greatest, of the long list of celebrities Marienbad has entertained. He became very fond of the place and in the intervals of his philandering with Frau von Levetzwor pottered about on the hills for geological specimens. The high school still boasts among Original.

A DISCUSSION OVER BRIDGE rapidity of a bluefish's flight is contrasted with that of a broker's motor boat. Problems in bridge whist are mixed with talk of the relative merits of a aloe's marine engine and the nervous little "chug, chug" of a lannch's mechanism.

However, its earlier patrons seem always to have been persons of fashion and distinction, who came in style and brought their servants, their coaches and their horses. One magnate in Goethe's day brought the whole court orchestra to take the "cure" with him. After Goethe, Richard Wagner was perhaps Marlenbad's most famous, and at one time, most regular, and it probably composed a good deal of the draft of "Lohengrin," here, and he gave the original MS. of "Rienzi" to his friend, the conductor of Marlenbad's band. think I saw some red terms.

Co.) Albert Reeves could never fix the exact date when he discovered that he was a mind reader. Whether he had been born with the power or had been suddenly endowed with it by some unexplainable agency will probably always remain a mystery. But this much is certain: He was yet comparatively new to this world and its wicked ways when the fullness of the mysterious power was upon him, and was not yet 20 when he began to put it to a practical, money-making use. Young Reeves first utilized his unique gift in this manner as an amateur detective, with the same success as when a few years earlier, he had been able to divine the intentions of his school-teacher toward him in the matter of corporal punishment, by getting that worthy mind in occultation of his own. Naturally, his detective career was a wonderful success. Indeed, he might have achieved the fame of a Byrnes and Vidocq in one he chosen to remain in that profession, for he had the advantage over all other detectives in that he was enabled not only to read the thoughts of a guilty man, but to diagnose the mind of a man who had not committed a crime but was planning to. But in spite of his phenomenal success, the detective business palled upon young Reeves before he had been in it two years. Besides, his interest in newspaper work. Within three days after he made known his proposed change of calling, Reeves received five tempting offers from as many big dailies. After a week's deliberation Reeves accepted a position as special writer on the city staff of a metropolitan daily, where he was welcomed as a unique and valuable addition to modern journalism. In his position as star reporter he rose almost at a bound to the position of the leading journalist, but he never exceeded than two months he gained a reputation for phenomenal "scops." And this reputation he won in the simplest possible way. He had only to go to any man, no matter how high in official station or how taciturn and reserved, and by simply getting his subject's thoughts fixed upon the desired topic, could drag from him, without his knowledge, the fullest details of the affair. The menes and cabinet officials with the greatest public importance locked up, as they thought, in their own minds, were as easy prey for him as the bank cashiers used to be when he was a detective. Reeves had worked on like this for about a year, gaining new laurels day after day and getting his salary doubled as regularly as the month went by, when he awoke one day from his absorption in his profession to the fact that he was accumulated gold as well as glory. To his savings in the detective service he had added during the past year everything except his very modest living expenses. And he now found himself the possessor of the nest egg for a fortune. With this discovery a new idea flashed into his busy brain. Why not take advantage of his great mental power and make himself a second Morgan or Rockefeller by watching the big deals in the stock market? If "insiders" who were not mind readers could make pricely fortunate gifts of their knowledge, why couldn't he? The idea had no sooner suggested itself than he put it into practice. It worked like a charm. All he had to do was to walk into the offices of any of the big men who change the railroad map or the industrial situation to suit themselves, and talk pleasantly about the weather, or the crops, or the prospects of this or that stock. Then if, on the occasion of such visits, any of these great manipulators had a big scheme on hand, Reeves quickly became an "insider" on his own invitation and bought or sold stocks as the case demanded. In less than six weeks he was independently wealthy, forging ahead of all the younger financiers as easily as he had outrivaled his journalistic colleagues. One day about two months after this newest young Napoleon of finance entered upon his Wall street career, he became convinced that a "deal" of more than ordinary proportions was on foot. He tested a dozen big men of his financial acquaintance—for he was able now to give even big men valuable "tips" occasionally—without having to sacrifice the fact that finally decided that a certain well-known financier, who seemed to be on the minds of those whom Reeves had sounded, was the man he wanted to get at. As ft. happened, Reeves was on specially friendly terms with this financier, who was of a somewhat literary turn of mind, and liked nothing better than to discuss the degeneracy of journalism and kindred topics with the brilliant young journalist. Asking for a pleasant greeting when he presented himself, although he soon discovered that the financier was very deeply engrossed in some important matter. It was an oppressively hot day, and the headache Reeves had acquired in his excited search for the all-important clew caused his brain to be less receptive than usual. He had no difficulty in understanding what the magnate was struggling with the details of some great "deal." While they sat there and talked about a rather trivial matter that the younger man had made the excuse for his visit, the latter fixed his mind on the other's as well as he could in his fatigued state, and what he learned almost sent him into a delirium of excitement. The thought transference took place rather slowly, but when it ended he was in possession of information concerning one of the most glorious pieces. of stock manipulation that the century had wittened. Without going into details, it contemplated the consolidation of some 25 of the biggest railroad systems in the land, many of them heretofore at odds with one another, in a manner that not fail to at once send up the value of the assets of them at least 25 per cent, and in some cases fully 50 per cent. Millions of dollars were to be saved in expenses alone, and the aggregate capital represented was almost beyond ordinary comprehension. Just when the deal was to be consummated, Reeves could not determent, but as the mind of the financier seemed to be aware of its details, to the exclusion of everything else, the young man felt assured that the date could not be far removed. In a week, a day, an hour even, he told himself, as he left this friend's office, the gigantic scheme might be sprung on the public. By investing his fortune immediately, Reeves could, as he found by swift calculation, literally own, if not the earth, at least a big share of it. It was then within an hour and a half of the time when the banks would close, but in less than three-quarter of that time he had the money to prepare of ready money that he had on hand, back to Wall street, he proceeded unload every sort of negotiable security he possessed, and to place orders to buy on margin blocks of O Just When the Deal-Was to Be Consummated, Reeves Could Not Determine. stocks representing every one of the railroads that were in the deal. That night the young man's self-control gave way, and he went to bed with a raging fever. When he awoke again, he painfully asked the white-robed nurse standing near his bed how long he had been there, for it didn't take him long to realize what had happened. She replied: "Ten days." Next day they allowed him to have a newspaper, and he nervously turned to the financial page. Almost the very last day, he one-describing how several of the big railroads in the great "deal" had already dropped 10 to 25 points "since the big panic set in one week ago." Two or three months later, while he was still convalescing, young Reeves received a nicely bound volume. It bore the signature of his friend, the literary financier, and was proved on examination to be a fantastic novel of the twentieth century, entitled "The Great Railroad Revolution." For the first few pages the invalid gave only a languid interest to the tale, but when he came to a certain chapter, wherein was described as one of the greatest achievements of the twentieth century the gigantic consolidation of a score of the big railroad station, he let the book drop his hand. Like an electric shock it came to him that what he had read in the literary financier's mind on that fatal day had been, not a speculative scheme, but part of the plot for a novel! Instead of being on the verge of a disaster, the man had been simply evolving from his imagination a chapter based upon the modern tendency toward combines. It was upon the fantastic fancy of a novelist, and not the schemes of a financier, that Reeves had staked and lost a fortune! The fact is not reading other people's mids any more. Whether it was the fever or the fact that he had once read a mind falsely that destroyed the charm can never be determined; but this is certain; Since the day when a cog slipped in the wheel of his fortune, the mysterious power that so nearly made him one of magnates of the world, is his longest. Now he is working as reporter at a salary of $15 a week. Why He Was Submerged. A story is told of a minister who, after the service, greeted a stranger and asked him what denomination he belonged to. "I suppose," responded the other, "I'm really what might be called a submerged Presbyterian." "A submerged Presbyterian!" exclaimed the minister. "I should be able toould explain." "Well, I was brought up a Presbyterian; my wife is a Methodist; my eldest daughter is a Baptist; my son is an organist at a Unitarian church; my second daughter sings in a Church of England choir, and my youngest goes to a Congregational Sunday school." "But," said the minister, aghast, "you contribute, doubtless, to some church." "Yes I contribute to all of them," was the answer, "that's what submerges me."

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, OCTOBER 31, 1908. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. The Republican party made no mistake when William Howard Taft was nominated for the presidency. He is a man of the people, his public record is clean and he stands for policies which mean the continued progress of the nation. He is especially well-equipped for the presidency by the experience he has had in the public service. Mr. Taft's first public office was assistant prosecuting attorney for Hamilton County, Ohio, to which he was appointed in 1881, and from that time he has been continuously a public servant. And he has made good in every place. His greatest achievements were in the Phillippines, where he initiated a stable government among the many warring factions and savage tribes and in Cuba, Panama and Porto Rico, the sober judgment and broad statesmanship of William Howard Taft have aided in the solution of the many complex racial and religious problems presented. The Afro-Americans have a good friend in Mr. Taft. He inherited his open sympathy for the race, from his WASHINGTON 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, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment."—James S. Sherman. M. B. CHAIRMAN of the Republican National Committee. Will Will Lead the Republican Party to Victory. In November. father, Judge Alphonse Taft, than whom the Afro-American never had a better friend. Recently, Mr. Taft was appointed a trustee of the Jeannes Fund for the education of the poor Afro-Americans in the country districts of the South, and his acceptance of the trust is an evidence of his sympathy for the poor and downtradden. In his public utterances, William Howard Taft has stated that he stands squarely on the plank in the Republican platform for the enforcement of the war amendments, he has denounced lynching in the strongest terms, he has paid high tributes to the race for its great progress in education and industry during the past forty years, and he has expressed his deep sympathy for the sufferings of the Afro-American from the contemptuous insults of white men not his equal in intelligence and devotion to duty. When the representatives from the National Baptist Convention recently assured Mr. Taft that the Afro-Americans would continue to support the Republican party, he replied: "When I get into the White House—assuming that I am to be put there—no plea in favor of a Negro will have any less consideration because he is a Negro than if he were a white man. You are Americans as I am. The starry flag that is mine, is yours." VOTE YOUR TICKET STRAIGHT. We are on the eve of the most important election which has been held in this country since 1880. That election was followed by a bloody war in which the lives of thousands were sacrificed on the country's altar. In the event of the election of the Democratic ticket this year we believe that the injury to the country would equal that which followed the election of 1860, when war spread over our beautiful land and drenched the soil with the blood of the flower of the country. War would not be the result of the election, but hunger and want would visit homes where now peace and comfort dwell. We wish to continue to enjoy the good times we now have, 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 any petty spite, as every vote is needed, and where any one fails to vote for the Republican candidate that is equivalent to a half vote for the opposition. This is an important matter, especially in some of the close Congressional districts, for it 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 ballot. VOTE THE REPUBLICAN TICKET STRAIGHT. UNACCOUNTABLE TASTES By virtue of being the balance of power in several Northern states, the Afro-American is exercising a very great influence upon the course of political events; and this is the greatest leverage he has. Upon this, and this alone, he must depend to secure for himself any special consideration in Congress, in the courts, or from public sentiment. Would it not, then, be absolutely suicidal for him to recklessly throw this advantage away? Yet, that is just what some of the race are doing when they coquette with the Democratic party. How can any Afro-American prefer Bryan and Kern to Taft and Sherman. Taft has shown himself to be a friend of the race, and so has Sherman. The political associates of Taft are the old and tried friends of the Afro-Americans. Who are the intimate political associates of Bryan? Heflin, who attempted to jim crow the street cars of the Capital of the Nation; Jeff Davis and Vardaman, the school-tax segregationists; Tillman, the hell-fire scatterer, and all the rest of the queen creatures of the American menagerie. Verily, for an Afro-American to choose for his political companions such an outfit of political marauders is the most unaccountable of unaccountable tastes. Thank God there are but few who have these strange tastes. D. R. King FREDERICK DOUGLASS. "The Republican Party is the Ship, All Else the Sea," The campaign is over. The long roll has sounded; the bugles have called boots and saddles; the boys have fallen into line, touched elbows, and wait with eager impatience to charge the enemy. The outposts have all been called in, and from Maine to California they are rallying on the center with a courage that is invincible and a determination that presages victory. There is not a coward in our ranks; not a living soul who does not feel that next Tuesday night the Bryan party will be routed, horse, foot and dragon, and will be scurrying hither and yon, utterly demoralized. Bryan and his cohorts will pass out of public notice and will be remembered only as we recall some horrible dream that was filled with dire forebodings and impending disasters. God Almighty still reigns supreme, and He will continue to guide and direct this country until its mission has been accomplished. The Washington Herald remarks that "Mr. Taft's Quixotic trip below Mason and Dixon's line has mightily stirred the Southerners." Yes, it has, and there is a mighty good reason for that stir. The truth is that the Southern oligarchy want nobody to talk to the people of the South, but those who will stuff them with such buncombe as the Southern orators have fed them on from time immemorial. On this point, the South is as touchy as it was in slavery times. All the Southern orators deal out to the people the same kind of ante-bellum twaddel; present one side of all questions and do their utmost to prevent anything else from being discussed. Mr. Taft's tour was a beginning of the breaking down of this unfortunate condition of things, and it is to be hoped that other Republican speakers of eminence will follow his example and invade the South. "If I am elected, it is probable that the house of representatives, will he FREDERICK "The Republican Party is th democratic. I can recommend legislation in accordance with my platform, and the democrats of the house being pledged to the same platform, will approve of the measures." So says Mr. Bryan, in a communication to the Chicago House-Herald. THE APEALE cannot see why Mr. Bryan should be so reckless in predicting the calamities which would follow his election. A Populist President, a Solid South House of Representatives and a Hoke Smith, Jim Vardaman Supreme Court would certainly give this country a good send-off on the way to Hades. The New York legislature passed a two-cent rate fare bill. This was vetoed by Gov. Hughes because there had been no pre-investigation of the facts. No one knew whether, or not, it would cripple the roads and throw thousands of working-men out of their jobs. But it was known that a "flat" two-cent fare would be unjust to many small roads. Gov. Hughes then procured the passage of a law creating a railroad commission to investigate the facts, and lead to the passage of a fare law which would be just to all parties and stand the test of the courts. For this sensible action Mr. Bryan fiercely censures the Governor. Mr. Bryan does not explain how he proposes to bring about his deposit guarantee system so far as state banks are concerned, and THE APPEAL is of the opinion that it would puzzle him not a little to do so. The national government has no control of state banks and the guarantee system, so far as the state banks are concerned could only be put into operation by the states themselves. Any one can see that a plan that depends for success upon the action of 46 different and independent states, would be amoral impossibility. Bryan says that Gov. Hughes has never shown any interest in the correction of the evils the trusts have brought upon the country. The assertion is like many others that Bryan slings around recklessly and maliciously false. Gov. Hughes has manifested, a firmness and audacity in opposing the race track gamblers, which is known to the whole country, and he is entirely out of the range of Bryan's pop-gun. If capacity to do an indefinite amount of labor and to do it well entitles one to be classed as a working man, Judge Taft pre-eminently deserves that title. He has traversed the world in the service of his country, shrinking from no hardship, or danger in the performance of his duties. As a worker he ranks first class. He works with his brain as busily as Bryan works his jaw. Mr. Bryan is now telling the working men that the tariff question is a labor question; and for once in his eventful and spectacular career, he is exactly right. The workmen will fully coincide with his opinion, if Mr. Bryan once gets everything on the free list he would like to have there, so that Germany and France can compete with our workmen, then it will be a starvation question. Mr. Bryan would begin his tariff reform by putting upon the free list all articles competing with trust-controlled products, and he seems to consider it nobody's business what he considers trust-controlled products. Somehow, or other, his position is eminently satisfactory to the European trusts. Mr. Bryan could raise a mighty big campaign fund by sending Mack over there. It is the opinion of THE APPEAL that the election of Judge Taft is as certain as the law of gravitation. All the signs point that way. AND THE APPEAL is equally certain that Judge Taft will make one of the best Presidents the country ever has had, just because he is so admirably qualified for the office. He has had a preliminary training such as no President ever enjoyed. Selah. Some New York race-track gambler told Mr. Bryan that Gov. Hughes is always inclined to take the part of the trusts against the people and so Bryan repeated the assertion in one of his recent speeches. This would be an act to diminish Mr. Bryan's DOUGLASS. The Ship, All Else the Sea." reputation for judiciousness, if he had any of that kind of reputation. The reason why Mr. Bryan is such an adept in raking in all the exploded fallacies of the centuries, from Peter the Hermit down to Dowie, is beautifully explained in the following: Hist, there's a traitor in the camp, Who fain our plans would foll— They say Bill Bryan's study lamp It filled with Standard oil! Frank H. Jones, secretary of the American Trust and Savings Bank, of Chicago, an erstwhile prominent Democrat, renounces Bryan and denounces him as "unsound and dangerous upon economic questions. He further declares that Taft is strong, forceful and straight-forward." Mr. Jones will vote for Taft. It is a proof, at once of Bryan's sincerity that in raving about injunctions, he does not once attempt to show, that Judge Taft did anything else than enforce the law as it stood. And indeed the very idea of such a lawyer as Bryan attempting to criticise such a one as Judge Taft is too funny for anything. The Republicans have found out that Charles J. Hughes, of Denver, the largest contributor to the Bryan fund is a stockholder in a dozen or more of corporate companies. That merely shows that Bryan would take any kind of money, from trusts or anybody else to get there. T. J. Iolan, editor of the Steam Shovel and Dredge is one of the strongest defenders of Judge Taft as a protector of labor. He points with special emphasis to Judge Taft's enforcement of the eight-hour law, by prosecuting offending contractors. That shrewd and accurate forecaster, Raymond, says: "From my point of view, the election of Taft is inevitable. Raymond is confident that Taft could lose New York and still be elected. But he puts New York in the Taft column. The Bryan campaign fund does not indicate a great popular uprising for Bryan, as it was intended to do. Which reminds THE APPEAL that: --- CONGRESS COPIED JACOBSON'S IDEA The Jacobson "Wye Law,' Word for Word, Is Placed in the Famous "Sherman Act" PRAISE FOR MADISON MAN Senator Dolliver of Iowa Says Minnesota Republican Nominee for Governor Is an Advanced Hon. J. F. Jacobson, the Republican nominee for governor, is not only a man rightly famed for his rugged integrity and worth, but in all justice must be accredited as a deep and advanced thinker; a man whose ideas and plans for the public weal have always been many years ahead of his day. Mr. Jacobson is so described by no less a personage than the famous orator, Senator J. P. Dolliver of Iowa. This statement and the proof were presented by Senator Dolliver before a vast audience in Minneapolis recently. He told how the United States congress had to come to Minnesota, to the modest but brainy farm machinery merchant of Madison, to get for federal enactment what has for years in Minnesota been known as the "Jacobson Wye law." The Jacobson Wye law was the pioneer statute in the United States to establish the great precedent for the people that a railroad can be compelled to make a connection with other roads at intersecting stations, and that a joint rate on freight may be established therefore by law. Not only did congress come to Mr. Jacobson for his idea on this subject, but they found he had drawn the Minnesota law so perfectly that the Jacobson Wye law of Minnesota was copied, word for word, into the congressional act known as the Sherman law, and is now one of the strongest and most valuable sections of that great act. Every great reform always meets with great opposition. And so it was that Mr. Jacobson had to wage a great legislative battle to get his Wye bill passed by the Minnesota legislature. This was in 1895. Two years later, recognizing defects in the original draft, he had the law amended into its present form, and it has since proved a great boon for the public. The railroads refused at first to comply with this law, and Mr. Jacobson brought a test case before the board of railroad and warehouse commissioners. He prepared the case, presented the evidence and made the argument before the board, which rendered a decision sustaining him in every point of contention. The companies appealed the case on points of law to the district court, and it was tried before Judge Powers of the Twelfth district, who rendered an elaborate decision sustaining the commissioners. It was then taken to the supreme court of Minnesota, which upheld Judge Powers. From there it was carried to the supreme court of the United States, which confirmed the Minnesota court, and the "Gentleman from Lac qui Parle" had the satisfaction of having the law he introduced, and was instrumental in passing, declared constitutional by the highest court in the land. This state law has been of inestimable value and convenience to farmers and other shippers throughout the state. As included in the Sherman law, it has also become of tremendous value to shippers all over the country. And these thousands of people thus convenienced have to thank the humble yet brilliant Plain Man of the People, J. F. Jacobson of Madison, Minn. Sole Aim of Johnsonis Johnson is a candidate for re-election as governor for the sole purpose of trying to save the Democratic party in Minnesota. One would not think that a very good campaign slogan to go before the Republican voters with, for Johnson must get Republican votes to win. It's up to Republicans to stand for Republicanism! Venice Too Wet for Her. An Anthony woman who recently returned from a trip to Europe says wet w eather hasn't bothered this country at all in comparison with what she saw abroad. She says that they ran into a town named Venice where the water covered every street and you couldn't get anywhere except in boats. She added "You bet we only stayed one day in that sloth." What a lot of trouble some children seem to have keeping their parents in the way they should go. ABUSE OF JACOBSON DENOUNCED! His Friends and Business Associates in His Home Town Refute Democratic Misrepresentations. The Taft-Jacobson club of Madison,—the home town of Hon. J. F. Jacobson, the Republican nominee for governor—held a meeting recently, attended by practically every voter in the town, and unanimously condemned the campaign of personal abuse and ridicule being made by the Democrats, against Mr. Jacobson in a last desperate effort to turn the tide against the Republican standard bearer. Mr. Jacobson's friends, neighbors, and business associates adopted a set of resolutions that the people of the state might know in what high esteem Mr. Jacobsin is held in his home town. The resolutions recite that. "We congratulate the Republican party upon the choice of our fellow townsman, J. F. Jacobson, as its candidate for governor. "Several of our members are natives of this county, born since Mr. Jacobson became a resident of the county, and all of us have known him better as a neighbor, a public spirited citizen and as a business man than we do as a politician and a legislator. That he is a man of unusual native ability, sterling honesty, integrity and fairness; that his life as a citizen and a business man of this county has been a model worthy of emulation we affirm without fear of contradiction. THAT MALICIOUS SLANDERS ACCUSING MR. JACOBSON OF BIGOTRY, SECTIONALISM AND LACK OF PERSONAL INTEGRITY IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIFE SHOULD FIND A PLACE IN ANY CANVASS FOR VOTES AGAINST HIM SEEMS TO US A PITY AND A SIGN OF MORAL DEPRAVITY ON THE PART OF THE AUTHORS OF SUCH TACTICS. THROUGHOUT A LONG BUSINESS CAREER, WITH EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MONEY MAKING, HIS FAIRNESS, STRICT ADHERENCE TO A HIGH STANDARD OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND HIS GENEROSITY HAVE KEPT HIM A POOR MAN. "Throughout his long career as a leader in the legislature he has never taken any personal advantage of his position nor attempted to do so. He has never taken any local political advantage of his position as a leader of the house of representatives nor introduced any bills that favored his own town, his own country, or his own congressional district to the exclusion of other parts of the state. Where is there a man with a stronger record for fairness and impartiality in public life? "Assertion is not argument. Malicious insinuation is not a fair weapon. The intelligent people of this state will want the truth. The public and private life of Mr. Jacobson is an open book. Let it be searched and his triumphant election will be the answer the people of the state will make to the insinuating political detractors in November." JACOBSON THE LINCOLN OF MINNESOTA! Wadena Pioneer Journal.—It was Abraham Lincoln, the ungainly, the awkward, the common, ordinary appearing man, from whom the aristocratic class of Washington society shrank with apparent disgust, when this man from Illinois went down to be inaugurated president of the nation. Just now a certain class of codfish aristocracy in Minnesota are likewise shrinking from the Republican candidate for governor—because he is tall and raw-boned and hasn't been kept and reared in an aristocratic hot-house. Abrham Lincoln, despite the sneers and jibes of society upstarts, proved to be the greatest man of his time, and his memory is honored and revered by all men and all nations. Jacobson, like Lincoln, may be a little awkward in personal appearance, but he is the embodiment of courage, honesty and force, and if elected, as he will no doubt be, he will prove the best and most fearless governor the state of Minnesota ever had. Every Republican in Minnesota should be proud of the opportunity to vote for Jacobson. His public and private records are clear in every particular, and his record in public life is one to which his party can point to with special pride. The Limit.

He has labored incessantly upon the system, preparing forms, arranging de- tails, and attending to the thousand and one things necessary to facilitate and perfect the operation of the new law. This in itself has involved much time and labor, but Mr. Fitzgerald feels that his efforts have been amply rewarded by the results. Aside from all considerations of poli- ties, M, W. Fitzgerald deserves the support of the electorate. He has prov- ed his worth by his daily work, and there is no excuse that can be justly advanced in favor of a change. Faithful discharge of onerous public duty, for small compensation, can no- where be better rewarded than in the reelection of M. W. Fitzerald, As the Afro-Americans In large num- bers are acquiring property it behooves them to take an interest in the matter of the titles to the same. Then too Mr. Fitzgerald has shown something of his spirit of fairness to all classes by glv- ing employment at times to several Afro-Americans in his office. J. H. ARMSTRONG. Republican Candidate for Surveyor Ramsey County. Mr. Armstrong has already given one term of service in the office for which he has filed.

PARANOID RRR REET nr nnnnnnnnnnnnnncnni ‘ie He Sing tha) Vilited tc dah ance. che ee He sat meditatively on the counter of the trading store in the quaint old pueblo of Isleta—a striking, venerable figure. ‘About six feet in height, with a chest like an ox; enormously wide shoulders and arms like door posts; wide, straight, thin lipped mouth, Hike a trap, and square, powerful jaw, the most massive jaw I have ever seen; eyes dimmed with many more years than the allotted three score and ten; wisps of thin, iron gray hair strag- sling out of the red 'kerehlet worn by the Pueblos—this was Patricio Jiron, anywhere from ninety-five to a hun: dred and fiye years old, sixteen years war captain of the Isletas and patri- arch of the village. He sat there on the counter smok- ing elgarettes, rolled and lighted for him by the Indian trader, looking out the doorway across the great brown. mesa and far beyond that Into the years of his long past prime. | The villagers passed in and out, a steady stream, buying “carne,” ‘or flour potatoes. For each and every one as they passed the patriarch had a handshake and a greeting, holding the hand fast for a moment and smiling into the other's face, “Old Patricio iron," said the trader, rolling another cigarette, “I've nown him to smoke twenty at one sitting without batting an eye, Old est man In town, Says he 1s ninety- five, but he doesn't know, and no one else has any idea how old he really is. Me was war captain for the Is- letas sixteen years hand running, ‘That's the record in this town, T kuess. They've always got to have him aonnd when any big ceremony fs going on, ‘They say he has chris toned thirty’six Tadian kids here in his time, and there's no bigger honor an Islets wants for his baby. Likes to talk about his fights with tke Nava- jos, and [ guess he's slaughtered a bnneh of them in his time, all right.” It was later in the day that, in eom- pany with a bright young Isleta boy trom Carlisle, Antonto Abeyta, L ealled fon the aged man in his adobe house, back in the village, For a few moments the conversa- tion, Indian fashion, consisied of a nicotine laden silence, Finally Anto- nio casually betrayed some enriosity about the venerable man’s past, and, with a Tite encouragement, he Iauunehed Into reminiscences that kept him talking busily for half an hour. ‘Though he spoke In the Pueblo, not the Spanish tongue, his gestures were so many’ and so animated that the listener could almost see the Scenes that rose so clearly before the narrator, understanding nothing of his words. Occasionally he relapsed into 8 short, ruminative silence and puffed his clsarette, while Antonio trans- lated what he had said. As old Pa- triclo reverted to the days of Nava- Jo campaizns his voice gained Strength, his bleared eyes and occa- sionally, as he reealled the flerce joy of some particularly delightful en- counter, he Inughed immoderately in a cracked treble. Now and again he would repeat to himself the last phrase, seeking to bring back more clearly some ineideat, ‘The man's talk was rambling and alsconneeted as he dwelt on one and another happening that came to his mind, but it was always of the Nava- jos and the Apaches and the Com- manehes; their flere raids on the peaceful Pueblos and the desperate bravery awakened in tho latter as they fought for thelr homes and thelr crops and herds against’ the ma- rauders, “It_was different In the old days,” sald Patricio, “Instead of many white men there were everywhere Indians, and instead of cities there were vast herds of buffalo and antelope. Fifty years ago,” he sald, polnting a shaking finger to where the Rio Grande slip- ped over its golden sands, “I have seen the buffalo pass down the shore of the great river, so many in num- ber that I could ‘not count them. Sometimes it would take a day for a herd to ket past. Often the braves of the Isleta used to shoot the buffa- Joes. I never killed but one. It is not easy, killing the buffalo. Onee a big bull gored me with his horns. Patricio smot a coward, but T would rather hunt the Navajos. It ts easter to doze a Navajo than ar angry buf- fato bull, and it Is easter to kill him. “I have gone on many a Navajo hunt. Sometimes we would bring in ‘a Navajo boy or girl to sell as a slave to my people. They were always eager to get them. One boy I sold for as 250 pesos. “One tithe, many years ago, long before the senor was born, the Nava- Jos harried the people of the Jemez pueblo so that they made war, and in- vited to Join them the people of Is- eta, of Taos, San Domingo and San Filipe, of Laguaa and Ancoma and 4 | LONDON LANDMARK GOING.

I could not tell all the things that happened on that Journey. Once while riding along with a few braves I came upon a Navajo buck eating his breakfast on the plains. It was not tortillas nor frijoles nor kid; he was pulling ‘thorns out of the cactus and eating it “We dashed upon him.

A Pueblo then shot him in the head with a pistol. He never groaned or eried out. ‘They are brave, the Na- vajos, if they are thieves. “Another time I rode with many braves far to the country of the Moki, secking Navajo captives. We found a big camp of the enemy, and eighty of us were detailed to surround them, We fought for many hours, and one of our war captains was shot. “The Navajos fought like devils. Finally we had to ride back for the rest of our braves, and when wo re turned the Navajos had disappeared, ‘They were very cunning and very swift. My compadre, Alejandro, who always traveled and'fought by my side, and I each roped a horse from the few the enemy had left, and as my friend roped his a Navajo rose from ahole in the ground like a rab- Dit and fired at him. It was the last shot that Navajo ever fired. “They were very brave, but, being thieves, not as brave as the Pueblos. In one fight an arrow struck one of my men in the forehead, right be tween the eyes. He only laughed an¢ yelled: ‘Shoot me good, you dogs!

Then sudden. ly came a time when it was famous, Jobn Cumming, who had been licensed to preach in May, 1832, by the Aber: deen Presbytery, was acting as tutor in Kensington, when he was invited to preach in the old church in Crown ‘court, In August of the same year he re- ceived a “call” from the chureh, It was then small and inconvenient, and the minister's income was not ‘over £200. But his preaching soon attract: ed a huge congregation, and the church was rebuilt in 1847 at a cost of £5,000. It was opened in 1848 with sittings for a thousand persons. The income from pew rents reached £1,- 500 per annum, but Cumming refused to accept more than £900, the ro- mander paying off the debt’ incurred for rebuilding The church has re.

GREEN CLOTHING FOR MEN. Difference of Opinion as to Whether It Will Be Worn.

Greens have reached great popular. {ty im London, ang in fact throughout the European’ continent, where they are worn very extensively by men, ‘While formerly efforts were made in a way to introduce greens here, no fattering success has as yet attended the green innovation for men after they have reached retail distributers Nevertheless, greens have been ought quite extensively for all by both manufacturers and retailers, and the mute question now is, will they take? ‘A clothing man who has made eon- siderable study of men’s fashions for practical use in the clothing business contends that no color or fabric that can be made a joke of will ever be come popular with men, and he holds the butt of his friends? humor. ‘A high e'ess Fifth avenue tailor im. ported early in the spring two pleces of green cloths.

Much More Often Than is Supposed— ‘Gaislactate tor Elestite Currents In spite of the popular impression to the contrary, ships remote from the land are seldom damaged by light- ning, althoug some of the most awe inspiring displays of atmospheric electricity are frequently witnessed by those on board of them. Standing rigging and even parts of the running gear ere now made of steel wire, and this substitute for the ‘old fashioned hemp serves the pur- pose of lightning conductor when the ship is not fitted with such an aid to safety. The electric current ig con- veyed down the wire rigging and reaches the ‘sea through the vessel's metal hull, Damage occurs only it the current be interrupted on its way to earth, Im a comparatively large Proportion of instances the foreroyal truck is struck by lightning, that of ‘the main loss frequently and the miz- zen least of the three. Very serious casualties under this head occurred to warships and mer chant vessels in the days of wooden hulls and hempen rigging. In July, 1802, as thirteen sail of the Fast India company were trying to round the cape in the vicinity of Algoa Bay, homeward bound, two of them, the Britannia and the Bombay Castle, were struck by lightning, ‘The fore- mast of each was soon enveloped in flames and the masts had to be cut away in order to save the ehips and their combustible cargoes. A heavy gale was blowing, the night was dark, and the other ships of the fleet, which were hove to at the time, were wit: nesses of this thrilling incident. Many vessels are now fitted with Ughtning conductors of approved types, lest the wire rigging should fall to carry off the electric current. In May, 1896, shortly after @ severe thunderstorm, accompanied by light- ning and rain in 3 degrees south, 87 degrees east, the P. and O. steamship Victoria had a sudden increase ot deviation, amounting ‘to six degrees in both the standard and the wheel house compasses, and later it was dis covered that the lightning conductor cn the fore had fused. ‘The ship must have been struck by lightning during ‘the storm.

Fellowship, without regard to social caste, religion or race, was the underlying ideal in a lecture delivered Tuesday evening by Prof. Charles Zueblin, at Abraham Lincoln Center, Oakwood boulevard and Langley lecture in previous lectures, the Afro-American race was lauded for achievements in face of difficulties. "The common life," said Prof. Zueblin, "is the only avenue of approach to the universal and ultimate in human relationship. We are virtually all suffering from social poverty. We are enough people and the people we do know we do not know well enough. "The satisfaction of the economic means primarily that you do your work in the world. It is not the monetary reward, but the work itself, that qualifies for fellowship. The man that does his work well in the ditch and has the consciousness of having done something for humanity, would thereby have a basis of fellowship with the man who has done something for the man in the bank and in the factory. Instead of that, the man who is doing a great work as a captain of industry is compelled to commune with the empty fellows at the club, who engage in athletics for an occupation, instead of communing with the good fellows who are out building buildings. "The difficulty with our class distinctions is the price we pay for the privilege." The question of race distinctions was considered in the same way by the speaker. "The Jew and the Christian," he said. "lost much by their separation and it is high time for us to take a different attitude toward the oriental. The same is also true of the Negro. Think of a white man mounting such obstacles as no white man ever meets and rising to the position of a Booker Washington. "It is the same with religious prejudices. Religion ought to be the most unifying force in the world but the sects separate us. Jesus did not know any social distinctions." Big Time and Big Crowd at Quinn Chapel Tuesday, Night. Despite the very disagreeable weather there was a grand crowd at Quinn chapel Tuesday night to hear Hon. Charles Nagel, National Committeeman from Missouri. He was introduced by Walter M. Farmer Esq., of the Speakers' Bureau, who presided and received a rousing reception. He spoke for about two hours and furnished food for much thought and aroused the audience to the highest pitch. Hon. Edward Wright made a fine speech. The meeting was a fine effort, in every way. CHARLES S. DENEEN Republican Nominee for Governor of Illinois. Born in this state, reared in this state, a student in its schools, a teacher in its schools, he grew to young manhood in a sphere which gave him a thorough familiarity with the condition and needs of the state in its rural districts and smaller cities. And when a laudable ambition beckoned him to Chicago, as it beckoned young Whitington to London, he showed himself there a peer among its strongest and most famous men, achieving a position of honor and power which enabled him to render a notably useful service to the city, and which at the same time qualified him for a still higher service to the people of the state. Oliver Wendell Holmes sagely observed that a man's education should begin with his grandfather. Mr. Deneen observed this requirement. His grandfather was a member of the house of representatives in 1814, and after Illinois became a state he served in the First, Third and Fourth generals in assembly. His father was for 31 years a professor of the art and a client history in McKendree college, at Lebanon, Ill, and of this institution he himself is a graduate and a trustee. He was born May 4, 1863, at Edwardsville. Having obtained an education, he taught school and studied law. In 1885 he became a clerk in a Chicago law office, and to help support himself he taught for several years in the night schools of the city. As legislator and state's attorney his services were good and satisfied that he was renominated and re-elected. As governor his record was so excellent that he was renominated by the people in the direct primary and he will be re-elected by a large majority. Gov. Deneen's promptness in calling out the militia to suppress the Springfield riot has won for him the love of the colored people and every Afro-American in Illinois should vote for Charles S. Deneen for re-election. FRANCIS P. BRADY Republican Candidate for Representative from the 1st District. Mr. Francis P. Brady, one of the candidates for representative from the First Senatorial district belongs to that class of young republicans who are forging to the front all over the country. He was born in Albany, N. in 1740, this education in the First District shows that for the age of 16 years, he came to Chi- FRANCIS P. BRADY cago, and for two years worked as a clerk in a wholesale and retail clothing house. He was a minute clerk in the criminal court for four years. In the Legislature he has served two terms in the Legislature and has made an excellent record. Every Afro-American in the First District should vote for Brady. Mr. Brady has lived in the neighborhood in which he now resides for 18 years, and is known as an upright honest and energetic young republican. Vote the Republican ticket straight.

Not only that, but Negro will take the place the Creator intended he should take in the economy of the world—a dutiful, faithful and lawabiding servant." —Alexander Troy, prominent Democrat in Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser "This mob violence is as intolerable as it is inexcusable. The idea of wreaking vengeance upon a race for the crimes of one of its members is utterly repugnant to all notions of law and justice. No government can maintain its self-respect and permit it. Our state will not permit it. The entire resources of the state will be drawn upon, necessary to protect every citizen of Springfield in his person and property, and those who violate the law must suffer the consequences."—Governor Charles S.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS CENTRE 3032 Wabash Avenue. Fall Calendar ORGANIZATION. The Frederick Douglass Centre was organized in April, 1904, by Mrs. Celia Parker Wooley, as a practical expression of years of thoughtful interest and earnest desire to ameliorate the conditions affecting the Afro-American people in Chicago. Working with her are many thoughtful and presentative white citizens whose generous co-operation has enabled the Centre to establish itself in a home of its own and to organize many helpful activities. As grateful beneficiaries, the Afro-American people of the city have shown a commendable spirit of self-help. They have paid upwards of one-third of the cost of the building in which the Centre is housed. In no other settlement or similar institution do the immediate beneficiaries bear large a share of financial responsibility. We feel this to be a great credit to the Centre and it should be the means of arousing further confidence and support on the part of our white law. OBJECTS. "To promote a just and amicable relation between the white and Afro-American people. To remove the disabilities from which the latter suffer in their civil, political and industrial life. "To encourage equal opportunity irrespective of race, color or other arbitrary distinctions. "To establish a centre of friendly helpfulness and influence in which to gather useful information and for mutual co-operation to the ends of right living and a higher citizenship." OFFICERS. The Centre is governed by a board of seven directors who are elected at the annual meeting in May. Everyone paying the annual fee of $1.00 into the treasury is entitled to vote. The directors elect their own officers, who are also the officers of the association. The work of the Douglass Centre is friends. The Douglass Centre is not a charity. Its aim is co-operative. Its centre for the dissemination of more objects are defined in the second by intelligent views on the race question, to bring about a better mutual understanding between Afro-Americans and white people, and to obliterate the spirit of race enmity. Its member comprises names of highest standing both on the racial line. Its platform is an open forum for the untrammeled discussion of the race problem and every other question pertaining to the welfare of the community. OBJECTS OFFICERS WORK. Representative, David E.

HEALTH HOTEL The Afro-Americans of the United States ought to know that there is a Health Hotel owned and controlled by Afro-Americans in Mt. Clemens, Mich. Here is a place for seekers after rest, quiet and health. There are six bath tubs for the mineral baths, twenty-one bed rooms, a dining room seating forty persons. The health giving waters of Mt. Clemens are known all over the world. The wells sunk on the hotel grounds to supply the guests with mineral water cost nearly $5,000. Such an enterprise should receive encouragement from those who are in need of just a place. DETROIT VALLEY CENTER EASTER CITY JERUSALEM REJOICING OVER THE TURKISH REVOLUTION. Jerusalem, which has been under the Moslems for a long period of its modern history—it was taken by the sultan of Turkey in 1517—has been greatly excited over the change of front in Turkey. The streets, buildings and vehicles have been decorated with branches, festoons and flags, and at night the city has been illuminated. When the governor, Ekrem Bey, an- nounced the constitution the cheered wildly. Sheikhs, priests rabbis delivered speeches denoun the old regime, and Moslems, Jews, Samaritans, Turks Armenians all fraternized and formed in procession preceded by ners with emblems of liberty Jews by the torah covered with embroidery. BOY HAS HOME-MADE AEROPLANE The remarkable feature of this boy's machine is that it is constructed in every detail on identically the same plan as the glider made by the celebrated scientist, Otto Lilienthal, of Germany, who fifteen years ago attracted the attention of the world by his feats in imitating the soaring of a bird with the cunning machine he had built. The original glider now hangs in the National museum at Washington, and inspection shows that young Milton Smith, who has never been to the museum and probably never heard of Lilienthal, has followed exactly in the Young America is not going to be left behind in the race for aeronautic fame. Milton Smith of Washington has shied his castor into the ring and bids fair to make the famous Wright brothers look to their heurels. During the recent flights of Orville Wright at Fort Myer, in the vicinity of Washington, Mrs. Smith one afternoon took her young son, who is only nine years old, to see the sight. The boy had no opportunity to examine the construction of the Wright aeroplane, but he came home filled with ambi- MILTON SMITH AGED 9 OF YEAR AEROPLANE HE DESIGN PHOTO DAVID BY BDMONSTON MILTON SMITH AGED 9 OF WASHINGTON, SOARING IN AEROPLANE DESIGNED AND BUILT HIMSELF to rival the feat of the celebrated aviator. He knew little of airships or aeroplanes, and he knew well that his mother would frown upon any attempts in such a dangerous direction. So he set secretly to work to construct something whereby he could "fly over the fence," as he expresses it. He made requisition upon the lath pile of a neighboring carpenter and procured from his mother's store of linen sufficient sheeting to answer his purpose. Then he hunted around until he found an old soap box that would fill the specifications of the aerial vehicle that he had conceived. For several days thereafter he worked hard and secretly at his machine, and at length brought forth an aeroplanet which, if it does not achieve the feat of flying over the fence, can at least enable him to perform some remarkable feats in gliding from the covered that they had all been ed with a solution of saccharine red aniline coloring. This procedure long been known to give ordinal angles the appearance of blond angles. Such frauds should be a object of rigorous prosecution. Without Ostentation. The late Josiah W.

He used often to quote tacha that he had once seen it cluded graveyard.

The machins consists of two vanes or wings covering an area of twenty odd square feet, fastened upon a framework of wood. These wings are fastened to a body frame, which the boy made from the soap box, and are securely braced by guy ropes to the lower part of the frame to insure the rigidity of the wings against the upward air pressure. He fastened the body frame tightly against his armpits, takes a run of a few feet, leaps confidently from a ten-foot bank and glides airly over to the middle of the adjacent roadway. Making Blood Oranges In St. Petersburg a young girl eating a blood orange raised a cry and began to spit blood. She had swallowed the broken point of the needle of an injection syringe. It was removed and was found still to contain a certain quantity of red aniline dye. When the remainder of the packet of oranges was examined it was dis WASHINGTON, SOARING IN WNED AND BUILT HIMSELF covered that they had all been injected with a solution of saccharine and red aniline coloring. This process has long been known to give ordinary oranges the appearance of blood oranges. Such frauds should be the subject of rigorous prosecution. Without Ostentation. The late Josiah W. Leeds of Philadelphia was notable for his lifelong fight against immodesty. He loved simplicity as he loved modesty. Osteatation he abhorred, especially the ostentation of funerals and cemeteries. He used often to quote an epitaph that he had once seen in a secluded graveyard. This epitaph, which was cut on the simplest, cheapest stone it is possible to imagine, said: "The monument is very plain, no doubt, but all the money in the world would not have brought our poor, dear father back to us again." Mifkins (to Pifter)—She's a stunning woman, old man, and you're bound to be stuck on her. But don't mention laundry or anything like that! Her grandmother was a washerwoman. Pifter (later, to the lady in question, as he relates a story)—Yes, indeed! I can tell you, it took the starch—beg pardon! 'the nerve—right out of me. Yes, Alonze, it is possible to get a pair of pinchers at a shoe store.
