AFRO-AMERICAN SOLIDARITY A great many political philosophers are wide awake to all the mis-deeds of the Afro-American and judge his conduct by criterions which they do not apply to any other race. As an example, we may quote the following from the Chicago Tribune: "It is his opinion, and it is our opinion, that the political solidarity of the Negroes works an injury to the race."—Col. Watterson. "The political solidarity of the Negroes has been founded on the substantial services of the republican party to that race and upon the equally substantial consideration of disenfranchisement and social neglect and hostility represented by democracy. It would be the most astounding example of ingratitude and self-destroying folly in the records of politics if the republican solidarity of the Negroes were now to be broken." Now, it is evident that, in the recent elections, the solidarity of the race was not broken—the Afro-American remained upon the deck and did not plunge into the sea. He did not turn over Ohio or Indiana to Mr. Bryan nor did he try to do so. If any were ```markdown ``` TERMS, STRICTLY IN ADVANCE: PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12. M. H.

Church, Who Attended Meeting of Trustees of the Jeannes Fund at Washington. This Week. inclined that way, they were disgusted by Mr. Bryan's cool reception of the overtures made to him by some distinguished members of the race. And the thinking ones, perhaps, thought that Col. Watterson could have been employed much more sensibly in breaking up the solidarity of the solid south, or in freeing his own state of the night-riders. The solidarity of the Afro-American is a very sensible solidarity compared with that of the solid south. THE SOUTHERN CAUCASIAN. The Bourbon oligarchy of the south, reading the signs of the times is making desperate efforts to maintain its foothold, by any means, fair or foul. It has disfranchised 100,000 white voters in Alabama by its cumulative poll tax device, according to the statement of one of the leading Democratic journals of the state. As to the conditions in Maryland, a correspondent of the Evening Star writes: "In the fall of 1909 the Democrats will present to the voters the constitutional amendment, which is supposed to be a proposition to disfranchise the colored vote, but in reality a scheme to put the state more absolutely under the control of the Democratic oligarchy, which now is in the saddle." Other deviltry somewhat of the same nature, is in progress in nearly every southern state, but past experience shows that such schemes work very much like McFingal's gun. Which, when well aimed at duck, or plover, Bore wide and knocked the holder over. It is the southern white man who is now squeeling out against the lynchers, whose operations he once regarded with so much complacency. Our southern brother need to read the legend of Pandora's box. LAWLESSNESS A MENACE THE APPEAL is glad to note the fact that the influential journals of the country have recognized the principle for which THE APPEAL has so long contended that it is a most reckless policy to tolerate any form of lawlessness, perpetrated upon even the lowest classes in the community, because such lawlessness is a menace to all classes, high as well as low. The New York Tribune has the following: "A month ago the driver of a taxi-cab, with the special policemen accompanying him, was attacked by a score of strikers or their sympathizers, who dragged the men from the seat and kicked and pounded them, the skull of the chauffeur being fractured. Ten days later some men lured the driver of a taxicab from Fifth avenue to a point near 16th street and Avenue C, where he was attacted, beaten and stabbed. These lawbreakers are in principle no better than their counterparts in Western Tennessee or on the Pacific coast. The same spirit animates all of them, and each would be what the other is were the conditions reversed." It will, eventually be recognized as a fact that the lynching of an Afro-American in Texas is a menace to even the President of the United States. MR. BRYAN'S QUESTION. Mr. Bryan asks: "Can the Democratic party ever gain control of the National government?" THE AP-EAL would answer, no, not while the name of the party is a synonym for the Solid South. For many years, under the leadership of its Dardamans, Tillmans, Hefflins, Dixons and Hoke Smiths, it has pursued such a fantastical, unpatriotic course as to be regarded as a menace to the best interests of the country. Its strongest endeavors, during that time, have been devoted to nullifying and uprooting all the results which the Nation secured through an immense expenditure of money and the blood of her bravest sons. It proposes fantastical policies and wastes its time and strength in ridiculous squabble concerning them. The stars, in their courses are fighting against the Solid-south-oceanic party, and that's what's the matter. HON. JOSEPHUS DANIELS. Hon. Josephus Daniels, the eminent journalistic statesman and spellbinder, etc., etc., of North Calolina, hied away to Chicago, during the hurly-burly of the late campaign, to lend a hand in electing the late, lamented Mr. Bryan. His absence from his proper balliwick had had serious consequences, for the Republicans made a gain of three congressmen, and the candidate for governor had an awful scanty majority. A seat in Mr. Bryan's cabinet, probably "sae reamed in Joey's noddle that," like Tam O'Shanter, "He tint his reason a' theghether," but that does not excuse him with his brother editors down in the old tar-heal state. THE APEAL hopes that Mr. Daniels will take warning and stay at home from this on. Chiffre DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Famous Educator, Who Attended Meeting of the Trustees of the Jeannes Fund at Washin gton This Week. Addresses the North Carolina Society of New York. President-elect William H. Taft addressed the North Carolina Society of New York City, Monday night. Mr. Taft said in part: "I come at once to the present condition of things, stated from a constitutional and political standpoint. And that is this: That in all Southern States it is possible, by election laws prescribing power qualifications for the suffrage which square with the fifteenth amendment and which shall be equally administered as between the black and white races, to prevent entirely the possibility of a domination of Southern state, county or municipal governments by an ignorant electorate, white or black. It is further true that the sooner such laws when adopted are applied with exact equality and justice to the two races the better for the moral tone of the state and community concerned "Negroes should be given an opportunity, equally with whites, by education and thrift, to meet the requirements of eligibility which the state legislatures in their wisdom shall lay down in order to secure the safe exercise of the electoral franchise. The Negro should ask nothing other than an equal chance to qualify himself for the franchise, and when that is granted by law and not denied by executive discrimination, he has nothing to complain of. "The proposal to repeal the 15th amendment is utterly impracticable and should be relegated to the limbo of forgotten issues. What we are considering is something practical, something that means attainable progress. It seems to me to follow, therefore, that there is or ought to be a common ground upon which we can all stand in respect to the race question in the South, and its political bearing, that takes away any jurisdiction for maintaining the continued solidity of the South to prevent the so-called Negro domination. "The fear that in some way or other a social equality between the races shall be enforced by law or brought about by political measures really has no foundation, except in the imagination of those who fear such a result. The federal government has nothing to do with social equality." DR. BOOKER T. Famous Educator, Who Attended M. Fund at Washim BEREA COLLEGE And the Coeducation for the Races. Berea College is an institution chartered in Kentucky for the education of the white and black races alike. It dates from the period of the Civil war and it seems that for more than a generation children of both races studied there together, side by side. But in 1904 the legislature of Kentucky passed a statute forbidding the coeducation of the black children and white children. The supreme court of the United States has recently affirmed the validity of this statute as applied to Berea College. The court found it unnecessary to pass upon the broad question of its applicability to individuals, but upheld it as against a corporation of the field of Kentucky, under the reserved power to alter or amend corporate charters. The court, Mr. Justice Brewer writing the opinion, brushes aside the suggestion that the statute must be valid in that aspect or must be altogether. "There is no force," it is said, "in the suggestion that the statute, although clearly separable, must stand or fall as an entirety on the ground that the legislature would not have enacted one part unless it could reach all. That the legislature of Kentucky decided to separate the teaching of white and colored children may be conceded, but it by no means follows that it would not have enforced the separation so far as it could do so, even though it could not make it effective under all circumstances. In other words, it is not at all unreasonable to believe that the legislature, although advised beforehand of the constitutional question, might have prohibited all organizations and corporations under its control from teaching white and colored children together, and thus made at least uniform official action." Regarding the actual question upon the opium is base) it is said: "It is undoubtedly true that the reserve is not subject to some limitations and that under the guse of an amendment a new contract may not always be enforceable upon the corporation or the stockholders; but it is settled that a power reserved to the legislature to alter, amend, or repeal a charter authorizes it to make any alteration or amendment of a charter granted subject to it which will not defeat or substantially impair the object of the grant, or any rights vested under it, and which the legislature may deem necessary to secure either that object or any public right. . . . We need concern ourselves only with the inquiry whether the first section of the Kentucky law can be upheld as coming within the power of a state over its own corporate creatures. We are of the opinion that it does come within that power." The decision seems less extreme than the case of Security Mut. Life Ins. Co. v. Prewitt, 202 U. S. 246, which holds that a state might in pursuance of statute forfeit the charter of a foreign insurance company for removing a case from the state courts to a United States court. Foreign and domestic corporate claims are in respect to the state's power over them subject to the same limitations. Orient Ins. Co. v. Daggs, 172 U. S. 557. Mr. Justice Harlan, with whom Mr. Justice Day concurs, files a vigorous dissent, insisting that the statute must stand or fall as an entitley, and that the question which the court must decide is "whether it is a crime under any circumstances to educate white children and Negro children under the same roof." Regarding that as the question, he proceeds to state some rather startling consequences which in his judgment follow from the decision, and of course his associates are as far as he from sanctioning. "If the lower court be right, he says, "then a state may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time, or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a public or political nature in which all citizens, without regard to race, are equally interested. Many other illustrations might be given to show the mischievous, not to say cruel, character of the statute in question, and how inconsistent such legislation is with the great principle of the equality of citizens before the law."—Law Notes, Northport, N.

The famous Swedish-American comedy-drama "Yon Yonson" which will be the attraction at the Grand next week, starting Sunday matinee is so familiar to local play-goers that comment by the press seems almost superfluous. However, as the play comes this season as a "revival" there WESTERN CINEMAS TO SEE CINEMAS BEN HENDRICKS FROM YON YONSON AN IDYLOF THE MINNESOTA WOODS may be those who do not understand the meaning of the term as it is used in this instance. Since it was last seen here it has been entirely rewritten, one or two new characters added, the dialogue brought up to the present, that the comedy lines might not be considered stale. In this much it is virtually a new play, yet the plot or story is the same, and "Yon" as played by Ben Hendricks, is the same "yolly gude" Swede as of yore. The production this season is said to be a superior one, the scenery, properties, costumes and everything used in the presentation of the play being entire new. One of the special features of the play is an electrical effect used in the low joke scene that makes this thriller true and added to this the several singing specialities introduced by Mr. Hendricks will make "You Yonson" hardly recognizable. 76-78 Seventh Street So.

The bowl was flowing freely, rather too freely to be truthful, for it was Christmas eve and the boys on the paper were wishing each other all sorts of Merry Christmases, as was natural and usual, whether they meant it or not. But little Steve Hayes, he meant every word of it, for it was his nature to be sociable and jolly, and he dearly loved telling a good story. He had at least a dozen more in his quiver which he was panting to let fly when, by chance, glancing at the clock, the call of duty sounded loud within him, and it would not walt, for had he not promised Mrs. Hayes that he would purchase the Christmas dinner, and in half an hour Fulton market would be closed up. Of this he wasted ten minutes in a nightcap to a hoarse and unsatisfactory chorus ring of "Auld Lang Syne," and then he was free. The walk to Fulton market was short, even if a trifle unsteady, and in that great emporium of all that is gastronomically good, little Mr. Hayes went to work with the keen air of the man who knows. A fat turkey, (fourteen pounds) and the cranberries and the makings of a big pot of soup, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, celery and oyster plant were bought. At the fish stand a three-pound, fresh caught (in Florida) Spanish mackerel, a little strong cheese, a canned plum pudding and some little things like olives, pickles and grated Parmesan. These purchases made and the best of a ten-dollar bill being gone, Steve thought a glass of something warm round the corner on Souht street would just top off the whole thing nicely. So, having the various packages made up into one voluminous bundle and disdaining the offer of the marketman to send it home for him, as he wanted the praise for himself, Steve toddled across the street to his familiar hostelry for that one of something warm. The sight that met his gaze, as he pushed open the door and looked in, made him quail. He meditated flight, for there with two or three exceptions, lined up at the bar, was the very assemblage he had left an hour before. One of them espied him, they all shouted a noisy welcome, and he knew he was lost. A half hour spread into an hour and that into two while they were still merrily and, at the last very noisily, celebrating the event that comes but once a year, but they did final- *Might I be *Might I be bold enough to ask, Mrs. *Might I be bold enough to ask, Mrs. Philip, if turkey is the next course?* l y part with many a vow of eternal if rather incoherent friendship and memory still clutching, by instinct rather than memory, his big bundle of Christmas provisions, made his way across the ferry to Brooklyn and caught his car on the other side. At his street the kindly conductor, who knew him, woke him up and helped him to shoulder the precious parcel. Mr. Hayes having no more than two blocks to go found no special difficulty in reaching the two-family house in which he lived, and was able to remark, with great satisfaction, that everything was dark within. pathetic ear of Mrs. Philp upstairs The two ladies canvassed their husbands very thoroughly, though Mrs. Philp was free to admit that on this occasion at least, hers had behaved very well. Mr. Philp, she said, had brought home enough for twenty people, and wouldn't Mrs. Hayes, with her husband, join them at dinner in place of worrying and fretting? And so without very much more ado it was settled, and Mrs. Hayes volunteered the services of herself and the hired girl to assist in the preparations, so that at three that afternoon, the form of them sat down, to a houseful But there came, of course, the difficulty with the latchkey. Where was it? And to make the search, Steve had of necessity to put his bundle down on the step. Five minutes more exploration of his pockets; ah, here was the key! Inserting it with infinite care in L.e. tiny keyhole, Steve lifted his feet high over the package on the sill, entered, closed the door noiselessly behind him and succeeded in getting to bed without awakening anybody to his great satisfaction. Philp had been working late at the office that night and very much against the grain, for there was the consciousness behind it that here was Christmas come, but with no good cheer for him. To put it plainly, thirty-five cents was the sum total of Philp's monetary possessions. He made "good money," but not, neither he nor Mrs. Philp nor any one else could tell where it ever went to. He was beyond the stage of borrowing, too, for he owed something to everybody in the office and seldom paid anybody back. This wasn't meanness, for he never appeared to have it and was always overdrawn at the office. On this particular Christmas eve, Philip had made desperate, nay superhuman efforts to effect a small loan, but this is a time when small incomes, and even some big ones, are adiedly deployed. In a word, Philip had failed so that it was in a sore mood that he took the bridge car with two bottles of sherry, presented to him by a grateful dealer in wines and spirits, under his arm. His usually unquestionable good humor was at the lowest ebb. The tide of his affairs exposed all the muddy bottoms of his false system in life. But the im- Important English Railroad Decision. A passenger in a full railway carriage in England has a perfect legal right to push away anyone else who tries to get into it. This decision was given at Marylebone police court when a man complained that he was pushed out of a carriage at Bishop's Road station by another passenger, who said the car was full. "It is the duty of conductors," said the court, "to see that the trains are not overcrowded. They are perfectly entitled to use reasonable force to prevent anyone from --- ```markdown ``` H. mediate question was, what was he going to say to his wife—what was he going to do about dinner on this blessed Christmas day? It was past one when Philip reached home. He actually loathed the idea of entering the house and very slowly crawled up the steps of the stoop, but having arrived at the top he stood riveted, as right before his eyes rested on his doorstep a magnificent bundle, the very inequalities of which suggested nothing else than provisions. Of course, this was Christmas! Why should not some good friend, knowing his habits, have chosen this method of making the day one of good cheer? Yes, that was it. Without any further argument with himself, Philip carried the heavy package upstairs and resolved that Mrs. Phil should believe it was his own generous contribution. Why not? The slumbers of Mr. Hayes were rudely disturbed the next morning. It was Mrs. Hayes who disturbed them by wanting to know (in a very acid voice) at what time she was to expect the provisions—it was to be an early dinner. The girl wanted a little Christmas, too, though men never thought of these things, they just looked on women as beasts of burden, etc., interrupted by Mr. Hayes asking in a foggy voice: "Provisions! Why, haven't you got the provisions?" The tempest broke at once. All he had ever done was, gnarled and twisted by her imagination, brought up against him, the consensus being that he was quite unfit for the companionship of any self-respecting woman. And then she flounced out, having reduced any latent sense of resistance in Mr. Hayes to a state of nullo. Still he realized there was the question of the provisions. He had certainly bought them. Yes, he remembered that distinctly, and even the eager faces of the men who sold him the things. He remembered also going across the street and long afterward hazily getting to the ferry-house, for the big package was in everybody's way as he bought his ticket, and somebody swore at him. After that it was all a blank, as if he had cooled to exist until his wife woke him up just now. It was wrong, he knew it, disgraceful. But, where, oh where, had he left the uncoocked Christmas dinner? Mrs. Hayes, in the meantime, had gone to pour her woes into the sym Philp, if turkey is the next course?" pathetic ear of Mrs. Philip upstairs. The two ladies canvassed their husbands very thoroughly, though Mrs. Philip was free to admit that on this occasion at least, hers had behaved very well, Mr. Philip, she said, had brought home enough for twenty people, and wouldn't Mrs. Hayes, with her husband, join them at dinner in place of worrying and fretting? And so without very much more ado it was settled, and Mrs. Hayes volunteered the services of herself and the hired girl to assist in the preparations, so that at three that afternoon, the four of them sat down to a bountiful spread table, a glass of sherry all around helping toward the entente cordiale. Hayes and Philpe were old friends, working as they did in the same office, which led the one to say to the other that grated Paresan in his soup was a fad he had thought his own, though Phil assured him he always used it. This similarity of tastes passed without notice, but with the advent of the Spanish mackerel a dim recollection seemed to permeate the brain of Mr. Hayes, which worked quicker when they placed sweet potatoes, cauliflower and oyster plant on the table, "Might he be bold enough to ask, Mrs. Philp," he said, "if turkey is the next course?" "Yes," answered Mrs. Philp, cheerily, "a fourteen-pounder, I weighed it myself. Mr. Philp never does things by halves." "No, I see he gets them wholesale. And not to be too inquisitive, does a canned plum pudding and then strong American cheese follow?" "Why, yes," answered Mrs. Philp, "but how do you know?" "How did I know?" groaned Mr. Hayes. "Philp, you villain, own up. How did you do it?" Philip, quite as much astonished as his guest, explained amid general laughter. But that of the two ladies was not very hearty. "It might have been worse," mused Hayes. "Anyway, I got something of what was coming to me. But didn't that turkey have a narrow escape?" Overheard at the Theater. He murmured as he sat alone. "It cost (the arrant chaperon) As much to take the chaperon As it does to take the girl!" boarding cars when they are full.
