THE APPEAL KEeps IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-It its correspondents are able and energetic. Maori Race Is R Pass Most Superb of Primitive Brought to Country Maori Race Is Rapidly Passing Into Oblivion Look to End With Stocism. The Maori chiefs themselves understand this to be a fact, and they look forward to the end of a great face with grim stocism. They charge their fate to the coming of the European, and draw a comparison between the Maori and the Maori rat that was destroyed by them that same over in the white marsh. Similarly they expect to have their national life, in fact their physical life, finally crushed out of them by the conditions that arose when white men assumed control of their land. It is the ways of civilization that have been the downfall of the unfortunate aborigines. Left to their own devices, living their own lives in their own manner they would have gone steadily onward, thriving and Group of Maori Girls, Maori Group of Maori Girls, Maori Carving in the Background. prospering. But when the white man came he gave them new ideas. One of these was the use of firearms, and to these can be charged a great deal of what has followed. whining the invader off their nation map. The first of these wars which began in 1860, and lasted for to years cost the British crown $60,000. It was marked by greatest her When the savages first saw guns, and saw warriors drop without apparent cause when the flash of flame was sent from the weapons of the invader, they got a new idea. If they had guns they, too, could become great warriors. Not only could they repet the invader, but they could also become conquerors, and take to themselves for their own land of other peoples.

Defective Page VOL. 25. NO. 17. Greatest of Native Fighters. The leader in this idea was the native chief, Hongi, the greatest of the Maori fighters. He would be king if he could only get the firearms. The English sought to placate Hongi, Recognizing his great influence with the Maori, took him to England, taught him the ways of agriculture and sent him home with money, enough to buy farm implements to make his people farmers. But Hongi thought only of warfare of conquest. The fighting spirit of a savage people cried out within him, and he had learned just enough of modern ideas by his residence among white men to seek to have at his disposal all the most modern agencies for killing. He sold the farming implements and he brought firearms to his people instead. These formed the basis of an aranea, for ten years he succeeded in keeping the state in a condition of bloodiest turmoil. Those who supported him were brave, but they were misguided. They followed him blindly, and it is estimated that in the internecine wars which followed while Hongi was striving to put himself in position of being ruler of the country, not less than one-fourth of the Maori population perished. Wrecked by Vices of Whites. Owing to the numbers killed in battle, the women far outnumbered the surviving male residents of the country when peace was finally restored, the poor creatures, utterly demoralized, were so enfeebled in health and stamina that they descendants to this day are paying the price in wrecked constitutions and enfeebled minds. The death rate now goes bounding ahead of the birth rate, and nothing can be done to alter the condition, for the whole tone and power of the race has been lowered to the point where recovery is a virtually impossibility. Twice have the Maoris bravely battled with the British in the hope of Carving in the Background. wipping the invader off their national map. The first of these wars which began in 1860, and lasted for ten years cost the British crown $60,000.00. It was marked by greatest heroism on part of the natives, and many a gallant soldier in the service of the queen suffered a loss of reputation on the hands of the native fighters. All the Maoris were drawn from their homes in attempt to drive the invader out of the land and into the sea, and non-combatants were overtaxed in their efforts to carry food and supplies to the fighters. The tribes paid a terrible price in lives for this conflict, perishing by the tens of thousands. But it was not alone the sacrifice of life in warfare that brought down the Maori from his estate. **Strong Drink Has Share.** Strong drink also had its share. It is said that at first the natives did not take kindly to liquor, and had to be beaten up by uses. But once the thirst developed they became a passion far stronger than other in their lives. Every festive occasion and even funerals were made the subject of the wildest revels in which there was absolutely no check on license. For a long time the craze for liquor hold the natives in bondage, then England took steps to deal with it. Liquor was forbidden to the natives and heavy penalties imposed for selling it to them, with the result that the craze gradually subsided, and today there is a comparatively little indulgence, a drunken Maorl being seen only rarely. "Father," said the minister's little daughter, "the paper says you 'officiated at the wedding clay in the traditional garb of the clergy.' What does 'traditional' mean?" "Traditional," my dear, answered the man he looked at his cheap suit of black and a sigh, "refers to something that has been handed down." One poor turn deserves another—from the organ grinder's viewpoint. THE APPEAL. But the effect of the evil was not to be undone with its stopping and, though there is little drinking now, the children born of the parents of that day show the ill effects. Neither could the Maori adapt himself to the European ways of living. When they lived in the open they had health. Now since they have adopted the white man's style of clothes, and have modeled their little houses on the kind he uses, more of the hardi- WOMEN'S NOBLE WORK AMID HORRORS OF W European Nations Show Gratitude by the O ferring of Many Orders A woman in traditional Maori clothing stands in a natural setting.

White man's enterprise and activity has taken from them any of the men's needs need livelihood. The great fisheries used to make the people work on the farms, and the fisheries supplied a never ending source of wealth. But the white man has monopolized these means of existence, and the Maori loses the wealth he might have made and also the blessings of health that come as the reward of toil. His crops are put in too late, and he consistently neglects them, with the result that the whole people lead a hand-to-mouth existence, and there is a constant shortage of supplies. This leads to conditions of absolute poverty. The white man's diseases unknown to the country before he came have now made their advent, and are reaping a big harvest of death among the unfortunate natives. In fact, it is becoming rare to see a Maori who is past middle age. Children are dying by the wholesale, and young men and young women apparently robust are cut down suddenly and terribly by fever and quick consumption. Maori Are Fatalists. British authorities have recognized the collection, and have done all that was possible, as a remedy. If the Maori themselves are sufficiently constituted, it might be possible to do something, but they are fatalists, and they view the whole situation with resigned indifference. They live in the past. Their few surviving poets tell of what was when all the country for hundreds of miles around dreaded the prowess of the mighty Maori, but his day is passed, and to bring him back again is wasted effort. In only a few years, photographs and books alone will tell to the world the story of what a race once ruled New Zealand. Two Maoris Saluting. Related. One day an earthquake and a case of ague chaned to meet. "We are related, I believe," said the earthquake. "We are," replied the case of ague, "sitheough we have never met before." "Shake!" they both exclaimed at multaneously. If a man makes a specialty of handling advice to his neighbors it doesn't take him long to acquire a reputation as a middler. WOMEN'S NOBLE WORK AMID HORRORS OF WAR European Nations Show Gratitude by the Conferring of Many Orders. Queen Victoria Who Installed Two Orders for Women. Monarchical Europe, though denying in most countries the right of women to bear a share in the cares of government, is nevertheless liberal in the matter of giving rewards to those who render service to the country. A host of orders which women may win and wear are in existence. King Edward recently conferred the decoration of the Royal Red Cross on Queen Bona of Italy. This is only one of the orders with which the sovereign of Britain might have honored the wife of the king of Italy had he so desired. Many of these orders which are now worn proudly by the royal women of Europe go back centuries for their origin. The Order of the Axe is now close to nine hundred years old, having been established in the twelfth century by the last duke of Barcelona, Ramon Berengeur. It was the devoted courage of the daughters of Spain who went out on the field of battle and assisted in repelling the Moors, who at that time were in the midst of one of their many efforts to conquer the country, and make it a vassal that gave rise. Catherine of Russia, one of the heroic figures of history, was responsible for the creating of the Order of Liberty. Peter, leading the Russians against the Turks, fond his fortunes in most unpromising condition. The army had been decimated by the other battles fought under the great leader, despair had seized upon them, and Peter freely admitted that but for the presence of the iron-nerved Catherine, who went among the men, stirred their courage, dressed their wounds, and exhausted all of her great powers in rallying them to renewed courage, he would surely have been defeated. So honest was he in giving credit to his wife that when the war was over he instituted the order. It was the design of Peter that no one else but he be wife should ever wear its insignia. She was the sole member, and during his time no one else received the decoration. But after the death of Peter, Paul I, somewhat modified his character so that it could be conferred on the her nobility connected with the Queen Victoria Who Instal royal household. Each person getting the coveted decoration had impressed the obligation it carried of bringing the younger members of the royal family up in such a way as to do credit to the principles for which the order stood. Out of compliment to Catherine, and perhaps in order to ease his conscience for having admitted others to an order designed for her exclusively, he renamed it the Order of Catherine. But this is not the most highly prized order for women. Germany Baroness Burdett-Coutts Who Received a Decoration From the Sul- tan.

This order was founded in 1815 by Frederick William III., and commemorates the heroeship of the daughters of the Fatherland during the Napoleonic wars. In the series of battles that terminated in the defeat of the emperor at Florence Nightingale Upon Whom K Waterloo, the women of Prussia most nobly supported their husbands, fathers, sons and brothers in the field. They sold their rings and jewelry in order to be near the scene of the battles and thus be able to give their ally in caring for the wounded. But the country were proud to get the Order of Louisa, but it was by means of them, for the purpose of the king had been ed Two Orders for Women. to make it absolutely a reward of mer it, and many an humble woman received the order for services she had done her country in its hour of crisis Germany also boasts another order of a similar kind, the Service Cross for Women and Girls. This was the outcropping of the war with France, when the daughters of the land of the kaiser once more wrought mightily for the good of those who were bearing arms at the front. The institution has many orders, but the substitution of a republican for a monarchical form of government has had the effect of gradually removing them all excepting the Legion of Honor, which continues to be a decoration most eagerly sought by all Frenchmen. The Legion of Honor was established by Napoleon in 1802, and was at first known as the Order of the Eagle. Like many others, it underwent a change, and finally came to be known by its present name. The first woman to receive the Legion was Marie Jean Schelink. in 1792 she enlisted in the Second Belgian battalion, went through several campaigns, in the course of which she was wounded more than once. After the battle of Austerlitz she was made a lieutenant colonel, and was decorated with the order by Napoleon himself. King John of Saxony founded in 1870 an order with a notably high appeal. It is the reward of work in the cause of humanity, and is known as the Order of Sidonla. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. The Cross of Mary was founded to encourage service among the sick and wounded in time of war. The decoration was originally limited to members of the Catholic faith, but these barriers have now been removed. Founded by Victoria. Great Britain has four important orders that are within reach of women. In 1977, when Queen Victoria assumed the throne, she founded the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, which may be conferred upon princesses of the royal house and wives and female relatives of Indian princes and holders of high office in India; such as the vicarry, commander-in-chief, etc. King Edward founded the Order of Merit. This is actually intended for men, but the ice was broken when it was conferred on Miss Florence Nightingale, and it has usually been the ex ing Edward Bestowed Order of Merit. perience that when precedent is broken and one woman gets a decoration, others will follow. The Royal Family Order of Victoria and Albert came into existence in the earlier stages of the married life of the loved queen, and the Royal Red Cross, which King Edward has just conferred on the queen of Italy, came into existence as a reward for those who were wounded and suffering on battlefields. Elector Maximilian III, in 1838, founded the Ladies' Order of the Society of St. Anne at Munich, and it has survived to the present day. At first it had ten women who could prove sixteen generations of nobility; now there are three classes with twenty-five members in the first, forty-two in the second and a third class to which the daughters of military officers are eligible. The Ladies of Noble Blood. The Queen of the emperor was strongly into the founding of the Order of the Starry Cross. After a great fire in the palace of the Empress Eleanor of Austria, it was found that all that survived was a little crucifix to contain relics of the true cross. This had been worn by the Emperor Maximilian and had protected him in his campaigns. Out of gratitude that it survived the empress established the order for women. Pope Clement took a deep interest in the new order and entrusted its management to the prince bishop of Wien. This order is very difficult to enter, for it is open only to ladies of noble royal blood who have done notable work for the relief of the suffering and poor in the hospitals. Only women of the royal house and thirty women of noble lineage are eligible to membership in the order of Maria Louis of Spain which is hence credited with being one of the most exclusive orders in the world. The Order of Isabella of Portugal is conferred on those who minister to the wants of the poor. The Far East also boasts its decorations. Nishani Shefakat was organized to commemorate the work of distinguished English women during the war. Abdul Hamid founded the order in 1878 as a mark of gratitude, and once conferred it upon Lady Burdiet-Counts' and Lady Layard. The mysterious meaning of the order is pity, mercy, kindness. Thus while women may not be able to get their suffrage as quickly as they might desire in all parts of the world, recognition is not lacking for what they do. Catherine the Great.

Movements on Foot to Enlarge and Beautify Washington Already Are in Evidence—New Depot a Mark of Progress. Though not entirely completed, the new Union station in Washington is such a vast improvement over the previous railroad terminal equipment of the capital that the inaugural visitors who have made trips there on other occasions must have been deeply impressed. They came through a gateway of great artistic attractiveness. They found themselves landed in a station which possesses every possible convenience for the comfort of the traveler. Everything is on a generous scale. A crowd of 10,000 people be handled with less friction now that was occasioned four years ago in the form of a thousand. Ten trains can discharge their loads simultaneously without making more a neighborly touching, of above, whereas in the old days two trainloads pouring into one of the stations at the same time would block every passage and cause infinite confusion. This change is the token of the new Washington, the national capital as it is to soon be, in all its equipment. For the day is now at hand when the people of this country are demanding that their national center be made a credit to the republic. The federal legislators have felt the quickening impulse of this sentiment and stand ready now in more generous measure before to proceed with the evolution of the ideal capital upon broad lines. The program is moving forward appreciably, though perhaps at times the eager citizens may be impatient at the slowness of congressional action. Just outside of the station the newcomer sees a wide expanse of territory flanked by the capitol and the senate office building. It is now an unlovely stretch in some respects, raw and rough along the outer edges, and obeys a transition state. A screen of evergreen trees has been put in position around the street car lines, barely hiding the street car lines, barely hiding the work of filling has not been finished. There is an ugly huddle of half-buried buildings left in their awkward plight by the change of grade, perhaps eventually to be taken into the plaza area or, failing that, to be replaced by attractive business buildings. The government contemplates—how leisurely the pro-creation is not to be predicted—the acquisition as yet untaken land lying directly beneath the station and the Capitol park. It has been proposed to place somewhere on that space a noble memorial to Abraham Lincoln, where, as an earnest advocate of the plan declares, it can be seen and appreciated the train comes in." This now untrimmed, undecorated station plaza will some day be one of the most famous places in the United States. Tardily but effectively the truth has been called at the capitol that this city of Washington stands before the world as the most of a great government, a world leader; that it is the center of American thought, an ever increasing power for the uplift of humanity. The obligation resting upon congress to make this city attractive in its garb, to give it no less than the best in all details of official outfitting and to place it on the highest possible plane of municipal finance is impressing itself annually more artificially as the legislators, and more useful terminal, a model of convenience and a credit to the public spirit of the railway corporations, is one of the results. When another inauguration day arrives Washington expects to welcome its host of friends with the plaza complete in all respects, so that the incoming visitor will step forth to behold a scene that cannot be equaled in any other city in the world. Setting the Capital in Order. In December, during the centennial anniversary of the removal of the seat of government to the District of Columbia was observed. With one record, senators, representatives, governors and others of high and low degree expressed the belief that the time to set the city in order, artistically, was at hand. Among other organizations celebrating the anniversary was the Institute of American Architects, which in its discussion of past achievements did not lose sight of the fact that the city held possibilities. Working on its commission, Senator McMillan, chairman of the commission on the District of Columbia, secured the passage of a resolution authorizing him to appoint a commission to prepare a plan for the improvement of the park system. The commission, composed of Daniel H. Burnham, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., Charles McKim and Augustus St. Gaudens, prepared a plan which conformed so far as possible to the expectations of Eufant, extended it to meet present conditions, and provided measures to neutralize the misplacing of the Washington monument and other buildings. The appointment of this park commission marked the third epoch in the development of Washington as a beautiful city. It did more than that, for though the plans submitted by the commission have not been realized—and indeed it was not expected that the commission would the station of the entire country was to move the movement for the betterment of other cities given impetus. sitet! tT | | | ltl UC aD Sem aveouRer> pi Tue Nocen Ae EG i i i oN 4 . 4 ¥ eat et Ray: eo we 6 eae Py eS ie bi i NY ean, Jie! noe ae pee: THE APPEAL, AMATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

For instance, when, in the last Congress, « bill was offered giving to American steamers reasonable com- pensation for carying mails, nearly every Southerner voted against it, be- cause it was a Republican measure. The fact that such a measure would be of immense value to New Orleans, Mobile ,Pensftcola and Galveston, had no weight whatever with the Southern Democrats. The Demo- cratic caucus decided that the bill must be beaten, and it was. beaten. William E. Curtis says: “There is no trade on the Missis- sippi to speak of.

Counsel for the Defense,” he made himself comfortable in_hig little dressing room back of the Grand stage and talked entertainingly of many things: pertaining to the stage. “The best dramatic training for the young actor is the modern drama,” he said. “Even Shakespeare should be read in the modern way. The sense of his lines and not the tones are “what should be sent over the footlights. In spite of the really great actors who maintain otherwise all old-fashioned methods are bad, very bad. I am a strong supporter of the modern as against the old-fashioned methods as applied to dramatic art. “This does not mean that I think the new plays are in any way the equal of the old. There is no author of the present day who can write a play that deals with man’s conscience that will equal Othello. The new plays are very Pat, very “artistic, very’ human—some of them—but they are not great in the sense that the old plays are great. We want the new things, but the old things are great enoiigh to outlive them. You will find this out. The test of a play's greatness is its length of life.” Mr. Shea, who was born in Cam- bridge, Mass, and knows Boston as most men know a favorite book, im- presses the casual visitor to his dress- ing room as a man of rare mental qualities, high ideals in all departments of human life. But he is especially fond of the plays that deal with the psychic, intangible things of life. His standard of art is truth. Because he is of that make he is fond of playing “The Bells,” and “Othello,” and “Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Because of the same reason he has always refused te play “Shylock.” Going back to the subject of th young actor, Mr. Shea said: “Most young actors lack imagina- tion. This is because they lack know!- edge of the world and of the other arts. ‘The study of any department of life and learning will quicken the im- agination and without a highly de- veloped imagination no a&or can hope to become great. It is the soul of acting. “The greatest actor on the Americar stage today is Henry Miller. He 1s great because he never loses sight of the very highest ideals of dramatic art. He is ever working along lines of ar- tistic progress; is always spreading out along new lines. He is the pioneer of the American stage. Always ready tc put on a new play if it has artistic merit, he never allows commercialism to dim his faith. He is the only man- ager in the ‘country who would put on ‘The Servant in the House. “Another great actor Is Otis Skinner ‘He has worked hard and seriously and has a true conception of his art. His plays have not always been good plays have not always shown progress, but this is, perhaps, not his. fault. “Sothern is also another great actor; a man of the highest ideals and stand. ards and an artist in every way. He has done much for the American stage.” Mr. Shea talked delightfully of many things; of old Boston and of new Bos- ton; of the London “stage of Shake- speare's day and of the present day: of the classical drama of. present day actors.. The little clock on the dress- ing room table pointed past, midnight when the visitor took his leave of the Gelightful gentleman. who talked Shakespeare and the Greek drama and modern actors while the stage door- Keeper walked up and down outside and wondered if he would catch the next owl car, Ly Ni 2 }80 superlatively good that you don't feel superior to him any more, and have nothing) to reproach him with!” “Oh, you'd never have any trouble about that,” ‘remarked the bachelor, Inconsequently: blowing a ring. “Two people who live together can always find plenty of things with which to reproach each other.” Even archangels could pick flaws in one another it they had to drink coffee at the sane table every morning, and to live on the same income with the same cook. That is why there is no marrying in heaven. The music of the spheres couldn’t drown the matrimonial squab- bles and deaden the din of disapprov- ai” “Yes,” sighed the widow, leaning her chin In her hand thoughtfully. “Matri- mony is war, and war is—well, it isn’t heaven, You'd fancy that a mafriage certificate was a Declaration of Inde- pendence, instead of a peace treaty, from the way in which most people act after they have aigned it.” “Te it a peace treaty?” inquired the bachelor in sudden astonishment. “It ought to. be,” continued \ the widow promptly. “Then It would be not only impolite, but a breach of honor for the slgners to tread on one another's private feelings and hurl missiles at ont another's tenderest spots.” Wheittyou entér the house of matrimony you lay ‘aside your armor, and all your weakest points are ex- posed to each other's jabs and shatts, I's barbarous’ to take advantage of ‘one another's helnlessness by plunging the dagger of ériticism Into those weak spots, especially when you have prom- ised to love, ‘cherish and honor one another.” “But you haven't promised to AD- MIRE one another,” protested the bachelor. “No," ‘agreed tha widow, “yet no- body marzies.in order to get a life- eritfe, but-an ardent admirer. And you can't blame the one who has had the dagger, thrust in and twisted round for: putting on his armor again. Yet nagging wives and browbeating husbands -will continue to wonder why thelr once devoted partners always be- come such hardened! wretches." Of course,” agreed the bachelor. “Byery time a woman givés a man a «iow. did you get rich?” “I saved up tilh I had enough money to buy, an automoblie, ‘Then I didn't buy it."—Cleveland Leader.

Miss Alma Peterson, soprona soloist of the First Baptist Church and prominent in the highest musical cir- cles of St. Paul, completely charmed her audience with her beautiful voice and. graceful manner. ‘The yendition of the’bass solo “The Mighty Deep" by Mr. Allen J. French was a mas- terly effort and a revelation to those who had not before heard Mr. French's voice. Miss Norma William's violin number, showed the results of her re- cent stiidy in Berlin and the work of a finished artist.” ‘The audience was in- spired with the spirit of the glorious music she played. A brief lecture on pipe organs, disclosing the worth and grandeur of the new instrument, was given by, Rev. Geo. W. Saterlee of Central Park Methodist: Church. one of the ablest ministers of the North- west and prominent among the best friends of our race in St. Paul. Rev. Saterlee was introduced by’ Pilgrim's efilcient’ and popular minister, | Rev. W. D. Carter. Mrs. Biamarek’ C. Ar- cher, ‘St. Paul's premier accompanist, presided at the plano in her usual pleasing and artistic manner. Mr. W. ‘T.

It is marvelous what a hold. the moving picture as a form of entertainment has upon the theatre going publie and it is curious to note how many lead: ing theatres throughout the country. are being given over to this style of amusement.

Tt has been noted of moving picture exhibitions that they are great for “drop in” patrons, that is people who having an hour or so to spare, find the time well spent in, witnessing a program” of pictures.

Remains Found in Java of Great Werk of the Eighth Century. The Boroboedoer, unearthed by Sir Stamford Raffles when the English ruled in Java, was bulit by the Hin- dus in the eighth century, and is by far the finest example of theit work fn the island. Standing on a bill in the middle of the valley this imposing edifice, covering nearly ten acres, rises toa height of upward of a hundred feet above the summit of the hill, It consists of a series of stone ter- race built on top of each other in @iminishing magnitude, so as to leave circumscribing galleries, and crowned by a vast cupola entrance to the gal- Jeries is gained by four stairways, north, south, east and west, whieh run from the groung straight up to the big top terrace, in the middle of which stands the crowning eupola, surround- ed by numerous smaller lattice work cupalos, and from which one may step aside into any of the intermediate gal- leries. ‘The whole is built of stone, showing ‘an immense amount of carving, and, though there is no genuine inside to thotemple, many of th egalleries are covered in, innumerable images of Buddha occupy niches or prominent positions on the walls, ‘and the sides of the galleries were paved with bas- reliefs, indicating the glorification of this god and other incidents in his history. When one considers that there are, several miles of basreliefs alone the/work expended on the pyra- Inids of Bzypt pales into insignificance defore this stupendous undertaking.
