TAFT The Republican platform, adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men with disabilities in color, and just as explicitly declining enforcement, and without reservation, in letter and spirit of the amendment, in tenth and fifteenth amendments to the situation, it is needless to state that I stand with my party on the amendment in the platform, and believe that justice to all men and the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments are in keeping with the fair play.-Hon. Wm. H. Tatt's speech accepting Republication nomination for Presidency. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1909. THE EFFICIENCY OF AGED CLERKS. As to the comparative value of old and young clerks, the report of Secretary MacVeagh's efficiency committee was to the effect that many of the old clerks of the Treasury Department are among the most efficient of the establishment, making up through accuracy and experience any lessened usefulness that might result from a decreased output of work. This is in precise accordance with many other facts having a bearing upon that subject. While there have been many wonderful instances of precocity upon the part of young men, yet it is a known fact that much of the choicest literature is the work of very old men. And so in all departments of human endeavor, the old veteran holds such a prominent place that his services cannot be dispensed Secretary of the Treasury, Who in His Annual Report Promises Reform of Customs Service, Urges Federal Economy and Advocates Civil Pensions. Retrenchment is the keynote in thecluding the naval building program estimates of expenditures for the ex-are $¢84,132,197," the report says executive departments of the govern-"Excluding the increase on the Parment for the fiscal year 1911, embod-ama canal estimates the total esti-ied i the annual report of Franklin mates for 1911 show a decrease.

Recently, while witnessing the performance of one of the finest musical bands in the world, we noticed specially that the majority of the performers were grayhaired and bald-headed. In fact the efficiency of any set of men cannot be judged by the ages of the individuals, since many men are more infirm at thirty than others are at fifty. So the question of efficiency cannot be decided by simple consideration of age, but by the physical and mental condition. WHITE SLAVERY. An underground railroad, by which white slaves are spirited away from St. Louis and brought under cover into Chicago, as elaborate as any by which black slaves ever were brought into the North during civil war times, has been unearthed by former State's Attorney Clifford G. Roe. We should like to see some of the ante-bellum Southern clergy who used to show from the Bible that slavery was an institution existing by special design of the Almighty, apply their arguments to this new phase of the subject. They would be specially applicable and could be used with scarcely one change of thought. We regard it as their imperative duty, and besides it would pay as the other did in days of yore. As the Afro-American was forced by circumstances to entertain correct views respecting slavery, he may be relied upon to do all in his power to help throttle the hideous old monster. THE APPEAL would be delighted to learn of some Afro-American who was enabled to render his white brother efficient service in the matter of putting an end to this atrocious traffic. SIX OF ONE; HALF-DOZEN OF OTHER. Ex-Senator Money of Mississippi recently said: "No man is disfranchised by the constitution of Mississippi, but a majority of the Negroes have disfran 1910 M. B. HON. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK, Postmaster General of the United States. with. including the naval building program, are $644,132,197," the report says. "Excluding the increase on the Panama canal estimates the total estimates for 1911 show a decrease of $87,244,484 under the appropriations of 1910. Including the total estimate the canal estimates for 1911 show a decrease of $42,818,869 under the appropriations for 1910." chised themselves through their failure to meet the requirement that all taxes must be paid two years previous to registration." It is doubtless a fact that a great many of the Afro-Americans of Mississippi have not the intelligence necessary to know the value of the right of suffrage and it is not surprising that they disfranchise themselves. The white brother, however, in more enlightened communities than Mississippi often does the same thing and will not take the trouble to go to the polls, except under the impulse of great excitement. For instance, the present doplorable condition of things in Chicago has been brought about in great part by thousands of good citizens disfranchise themselves. THE HELPLESS POOR. Referring to Senator Culberson, the New Orleans State says: "He recognized that the great masses of the people are and forever must be poor, and one of the primary ends of government is to protect the millions of the helpless poor from the avarice and oppression of the few who are strong and aggressive." All of which is certainly very true, and the words should have great force because of their truth and importance. But they will not have that effect, simply because the Senator's whole life has been such as to show that he kicks only when his ox is gored. The majority of the helpless poor in Texas are black people, but when Culberson was Governor of Texas he failed to see that the end of government was to "protect the helpless poor." Senator Culberson's life has been spent in alding to enact such legislation as would make the helpless poor still more helpless. To this day the helpless poor white man is stumbling along in ignorance and degradation in consequence of conditions to which he was subjected, during the slavery regime, but the aristocrats who controlled the Southern states. Sic vas non vobis. 1920 ```markdown ``` Anent the subject of vagrancy in the South, the New Orleans Times-Democrat remarks: "In Georgia a law was framed almed at those Negroes, and apparently it reached them at first. All other Southern states followed in the footsteps of Georgia, and splendid results were promised from this legislation. It was expected to furnish a much more abundant supply of labor during the busy farm season of the year; to put an end to the drain of a large idle class, doing nothing and providing nothing and to reduce the depreduction and other petty crimes of the idle Negroes. "But for some reason or other the law has never worked as it was expected to do, but has dropped into a state of desuetude. It is admitted by all that it is a good law and that it is constitutional; it was built on practical lines, and has been tested and found fit." If the Southern states will ever have the good sense to pass laws aimed at vagrants and loafers of all classes, they will, probably not fall into "a state of desuetude," but there will be a fair probability of their enforcement. A law aimed at "those Negroes" is a fraud upon its face and ought to fail. CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT OF JESUS. THE APPEAL very rarely concedes with the religious teachings of Prof. Moster of Chicago University, but fails to see that he is at all wrong in the following: "There simply has got to be more truth and more life in our churches or the really religious people themselves will repudiate the churches. Men's eyes are at last open and they see how much that is false, dead, untrue in churchdom, how much of current christendom is contrary to the spirit of Jesus. Living religion of living men will endure no longer." The fact is well known that for a man to participate in a lynching, or in the white slave traffic or in defrauding the government, does not interfere in the slightest degree with his church relationships. It is equally true that were an Afro-American to simply enter into many of the churches and take a seat, the act would be resented by the membership as a most unwarranted intrusion and even the poor white man would be a most unwelcome visitor at many of them. COPYRIGHT BULLETIN S. LOUIS COPYRIGHT BILL C. BRANCH S. LOUIS HON. CHARLES NAGEL Secretary of Commerce and La the need of a new departmental building adequate to the requirements of its many bureaus and its wide and varied interests; the abolition of all salaries below $800 a year, and the provision of a retirement fund for faithful but superanuated clerks, are some of the striking features of Secretary Nagel's annual report on the Department of Commerce and Labor. The New York Tribune highly commends Representative Ransdell of Louisiana for preaching the gospel of diversified farming to his constituents, but adds: "An indictment of southern agricultural methods when uttered by southern lips is not likely to be either welcome or effective, but the appeal of the same plain truths when preached by a southerner is clearly shown by the commendation which Mr. Ransdell's remarks have received in the press of his section." The remark is much less true than it would have been if made twenty years ago, but the fact is that the Southern people are rapidly breaking away from their Chinese-like conservatism and are beginning to suspect that somebody can teach them something. So they are quite cordial in welcoming experts who can teach them methods of circumventing the boll-weevil and for producing better crops. In respect to everything except politics, the South is becoming quite teachable. SHERIFF SHIPP IN JAIL. The news that Sheriff Shipp of Chattanooga is undergoing the punishment inflicted upon him by the Supreme Court, will not, we presume, cover the nation with bloom as it is gener- --- ally conceded that the punishment is well deserved. In the South it is regarded as a specially meritorious thing to oppose as much as possible the paramount authority of the Federal government and to exalt that of the state. So Sheriff Shipp's contempt was not merely technical but real—he proposed to show Uncle Sam that he was not match for a Tennessee sheriff and to have a good chuckle over the matter with his pals of the same way of thinking. It is well that he has been taught better; and the lesson will not be lost upon many others who are inclined the same way. Shipp is sadder, but he is wiser. Chicago journalists are somewhat worked up because Mrs. Gertrude Atherton, after a seven days' sojourn in the city, could discover no love for art or beautiful things. What could any one learn of Chicago in seven days? But Mrs. Atherton seems to think that in that time she could learn all that was worth knowing, and wrote a lot of offensive nonsense about a city of which she knew nothing. That is, however, her usual rule. She has written a lot of tommyrot about the Afro-Americans, a race of people she has always endeavored to injure and misrepresent in her writings. THE APPEAI places no confidence in the rumor that Senator Tillman's staying out of the limelight is due to an attack of hookworm. There isn't a hookworm in Dixie that would dare to tackle the man with the pitchfork. The big bugs have so arranged matters that the testimony in divorce cases is now sealed up and not revealed to the public. The law permits this out of respect for the "high social standing" of certain persons, when publication would endanger public morals. Are not the courts becoming a little too complaisant? Several prominent Jews have appeared before the Immigration Commission for the purpose of protesting against the use of the word "Hebrew" in the reports of that body. They claim that the title is a misnomer. However the title is by no means so ridiculous as the use of the 1910 Declaring that, notwithstanding the great activities in every branch of the department, the appropriations during the last four years for the entire department have been increased only 3.2 per cent, the report adds: "If the appropriations are to be held at the present figures, it will become necessary to make a dollar to go farther than it has." word "Negro" to describe a class of people who are very far from being Negroes in the real sense of the word. Secretary Wilson does not look for meat prices to decrease very soon, which is an opinion likely to spoil Christmas for a great many people. Christmas turkeys have become obsolete for the average family, but many cherished hopes that they could indulge in some kind of meat. King Leopold of Belgium is dead, but we and the people of the Congo will shed no tears. During the last decade, the number of persons killed from walking on railroad tracks mount up to about 50,000. This is an appalling fact, but the blame does not entirely rest, where we are inclined to put it, upon the railroad officers. It is due in great measure to the carelessness of the people who suffer and to the absence of good roads. The track is, in thousands of instances, the best or most available road between points. We were once in a city where, on a certain occasion, the track was the only possible road from our stopping place to the depot. So thousands of people continue to walk the track, despite the fact that it is a punishable trespass. But the law is never enforced, and the thing, killing included, goes on. --- THE CITY OF BOSTON An unaccented Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education, offers the following: High School coursework, with industrial Training.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Foam is usually combined with neatly curly hair snotter, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pompadour is in place. The winkle may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, requiring four bottles, regular size are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle.

Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, tits use is constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toic-preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good" if you want the best results buy Ford's Hair Promode.

The day of trifling, useless gifts is almost gone. More and more people are turning to something that combines the useful, the practical, along with the trifling, the gift. Furniture, always popular for gift purposes, will this season be in even greater demand than ever before. A stroll through the five big floors of the Smith & Borg store shows wonderful possibilities for every member of the family. Down in the basement there is a superb display of ranges and heaters, every style and size for every purpose. "The Monarch" in particular is suitable for every wife in St. Paul as a Christmas gift, as it will mean better cooking with less fuel and little work. On the same floor is the chinaware department. Where is the woman who doesn't care for fine china and who would not be highly pleased with a new set on Christmas day? The first floor might well be styled the floor for everybody. There are desks and coffee chairs for father; study lamps, smoking sets, tables, statutory, clocks and hammered brass for brother's den; china closets, bookcases, cut glass, fine china art pottery, gas and electric domes, all things to delight mother. Music cabbels make splendid gifts for girls. Here's a line in severely plain and fancy styles, fine quartered oak, rich mahogany, native walnut and one of imported Circassian walnut with a particularly beautiful figure. Tables galore for parlor, library, living room, den or office, largely in oak, but finished in many styles, golden, quartered, mission, fumed, etc. Sewing tables in quaint old colonial shapes, made in the rich dull finish mahogany, pieces that go back to the styles of a hundred years ago. Grandfather clocks of the same period. Scattered around among the finer articles are many little inexpensive things, nice for gifts, and that would be appreciated, too. On the second floor are hundreds of rugs, Brussels, Axminster, velvet and oriental, every size and shape, color and price; draperies and curtains in endless variety; al gifts that appeal to the pride of the housewife. On this floor is also every standard make of sewing machine. On the third floor there are rockers for everybody, father, mother, brother or sister, in oak or mabogany, plain or upholstered, reed rockers, light and comfortable, great luxurious Turkish leather rockers. Then there are couches, davenets, couches, couches, parlor sets and pictures by rugs and rugs. On the fourth floor are brass beds and enameled beds, dressers, chiffoners, buffets, dining tables and chairs, china closets and dressing tables, in mabogany, in maple, in oak, some bright finish, some dull, some plain, some fancy, all tastes consulted. Literally a Christmas store for all St. Paul, whether the price of the gift is to be large or small, for old or new, there is something to please everybody, the sizes of pocketbooks at Smith & Barker, great establishment 61.33 E, 6th st.

GOLDEN GRAIN BELT BEERS First Class Work Satisfaction Guaranteed -THE ARREST- "PIERRE OF THE PLAINS." Which Will be Seen at the Grand Next Week The reward of merit is the generous patronage of the public. Successes are few and far between. Managers are greedy and eager to secure material which presages success. Of the fortunate as well as one of the most discriminating purveyors of the drama is Mr. A. H. Woods, who gained control of "Pierre of the Plains," discerning its possibilities, and quickly recognizing its superiority to any of the far Western plays now before the public. "Pierre of the Plains," like the "Great Divide," is an intelligent picture of real Western life. Its characters are not men of questionable repute, who fied to the great West to escape Eastern law, but men of the Canadian plains, whose fathers were there before them. Their language and their habits are natural with them. They know no other. Pierre is a French-Canadian half-breed Indian, by occupation a gambler. His education has been gained by contact with the world and its hardships, but for all this, Pierre is intensely human. His devotion and self-sacrifice for a friend in trouble might well serve as an example for all classes and conditions of man. A good supporting company has been secured. The scenic accompaniments are in good taste, embellished with beautiful light effects. The play was presented part of last season, when press and public BUY YOUR COAL AND FLOUR, FEED — FROM C. W. ST.

The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre. Tom Miner's "Bohemian Burlesquers" rated "always a good show," comes to play at the Star Theatre next week. This season Mr. Miner has gone to a larger expense than ever to lavishy mount, scenically and mechanically, the two-act musical comedy that is presented. The costumes are unusual for a burlesque aggregation and the praise heard throughout the country should encourage Mr. Miner and induce him to continue this generous method in all his future productions. The Sisters Valmore, a charming pair of dashing young ladies, have spent the greater part of the summer touring the European continent in search of a dance that would create a sensation. Their dance, "Les Danseuse Excentriques," which is very sensational, is a great novelty, and is one of the many big features, with Tom Miner's "Bohemian Burlesquers," which will be the attraction at the Star Theatre next week.
