The Republican platform, adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to race or color, and without enforcement, and without reservation, in letter and spirit of fourteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth, and fifteenth, and fifteenth situation, it is needless to state that I stand with my party squerely on that plank in the case of justice to all men and the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments are in keeping with fair play.-Hon. Wm. H. Traff's speech accepting Republican nomination for Presidency. SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1910. THE PURE WHITES AND THE MIXED. There is great excitement in New Orleans since the publication of the race articles in Pearson's Magazine. It is said that there are only 1,000 pure Caucasian families in the city of New Orleans; all the rest have an admixture of African blood. Many are leaving Louisiana and the Catholic church record books are being closely watched to keep them from being destroyed by colored families who have been passing for white for more than nine generations. Many young women who have been raised in convents have been adopted in white families have found that their mothers were colored. Of course, everybody is aware of the condition of affairs which once prevailed in Dixie, when intercourse between the races prevailed to an al- M. most universal extent. No doubt that the revelations will cause a vast amount of suffering among the unfortunate victims; but they deserve little sympathy for they are victims of a most unhuman prejudice which they themselves have promoted to the full extent of their ability. And even the thousand "pure white" families will suffer no little annoyance for who knows which is which? The mills of the gods grind slow. But they grind exceedingly fine. sway" had no relations of human life. But, when a pale covered vaccination no relations to. When pale-faced the plague from I her streets with gale relation to the con. When pale-faced the Bible did that those conditions? When a pale-face AS YE SOW, SO SHALL YE REAP All persons acquainted with race conditions in the South are aware that in that section miscegenation has prevailed to a vast extent. Public sentiment made no protest against this condition of things, and, indeed, it was by many Southern thinkers stoutly maintained that it was in reality a benefit, that the sacrifice of the virtue of the black woman was almost an absolute protection of the purity of the white woman. This was regarded as an admirable dispensation of Providence, showing His high regard for the "superior" race. But it is evident from an article in one of the magazines that such views in the matter are changing. The contention of the article is simply this, that the young white man, by his illicit intercourse with the black woman, contracts a "social disease" which by subsequent marriage, he communicated to the white woman; and that to an appalling extent. From this cause there resulted such diseases as tuberculosis, locomotor ataxia and infantile blindness. If there is any truth in the matter it shows that the South is still paying the penalty of its violation of the laws of God in slavery days. ABSURD ARGUMENTS. The relation of the larger universities of the United States to the practical problems of existence is being emphasized in an astonishing degree nowadays. If the notion of cloistered halls where pale-faced students pored over musty tomes once held sway, that idea has entirely disappeared. The dominant thought appears to be, how can the training of the schools be made most useful in bettering the conditions of human life.-Chicago Tribune. THE APPEAL quotes the foregoing as an excellent sample of absurd arguments respecting education. It is based upon the assumption that educational courses that "once held MILITARY SERVICES UNION OFFICE WORLD M. B. HON. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK, Postmaster General of the United States. sway" had no relation to the "conditions of human life." But, when a pale-faced student discovered vaccination, had the discovery no relations to those conditions? When pale-faced students banished the plague from London and lighted her streets with gas, did that have no relation to the conditions of life? When pale-faced students translated the Bible did that have no relation to those conditions? When a pale-faced student studied the vibrations of the pendulum, did that have no relation to such conditions? When a pale-faced student invented printing with movable type, did that have no such relation? The St. Louis Republic says: "The lawless and brutal blackman, in his crime against an individual, does harm to the entire white race, but that harm is much less than that which he does to his own. Negro opinion against criminals ought to make itself felt in an organized and systematic way." All of which is true except the evident implication that the Afro-American has done nothing or very little in that way. But the Afro-American pulpet and press have, without exception protected against and condemned crime of all kinds. They have done nearly all in their power. We might retort and perhaps prove that the Caucasian-American has done very little better in suppressing lawlessness. The so-called superior race has allowed the United States to be the Aceldama of nations, excelling all others in the number of brutal murders. What has Kentucky done with her night riders, Tennessee with her thugs? Simply told them to go in peace and sin no more—until the next time. MR. GRACIE'S SUBSTITUTION. Mr. John H. Gracie is one of the wealthiest and most progressive farmers in the South, owning and cultivating land by the thousand acres. A few years since he substituted Italians for Afro-Americans upon his various plantations in Arkansas. He now pronounces the Italians "ingrates of the deepest dye," "appear to have no idea of fair business methods" and "appear to be practically worthless." Mr. Gracie's experience is but a repetition of that of every other planter who has tried the same experiment. Mr. Gracie has tried everything he ```markdown ``` --- J. Representative Lowden Will Set Up Black Hawk War Mounments to Mark Lincoln's Path. Representative Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, is planning a project to set up permanent markers to outline the march of Abraham Lincoln during the Black Hawk war. Mr. Lowden has donated considerable money to the plan and others have become interested. His object is permanently to fix the march and the places where the followers of the martyr President camped. The march started from Beardstown, continued to Qawka, and thence to the mouth of Rook River. The markers are to be of stone with suitable inscriptions. It is Mr. Lowden's plan to have maps of the ter ritorry, copies of which will be kept in public records of the State of Illinois. could think of to make his laborers contented: built them a chapel, secured an Italian priest, etc., but the thing was a dismal failure. Mr. Gracie is probably a wiser man than he was. I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and ablids together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs a black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. —. G. Wells in the N. Y. Independent. AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY Dr. Wilbur Chapman predicts that the whole world is ripe for a revival and that if a hundred influential business men will take the proper active interest in the evangelization movement "the whole world, including China, Japan and Australia, will be rocking with the power of god within five years." Then that unchristian race prejudiced journal, the Washington Times, says: His message, promising the ultimate conversion of the Mohammedan heathen, the Bhuddist heathen, and the Confucian heathen to the Christian faith ought to move the Christian church to great rejoicing. THE APPEAL aims to see any reason for such a conclusion and many reasons for discerning its utter absurdity. The trend among nearly all nations is in the direction of war. All of the religion which is alleged to exist in the United States does not prevent the newspapers from being filled with their scandalous tales of graff, white slave trade, divorce, stealing, lynching and plain murder. The colored races of the East would do well to consider carefully before accepting the American brand of Christianity. As Mohammedans, Buddhists or Confucianists they can hold up their heads and retain their self-respect. Converted to Christianity, they would become "diggers" in the sight of white American Christians and would be "jimcrowed" just HON.

The Louisville Courier-Journal is not delighted with the fact of Sheriff Shipp "having made an ass of himself, but evidently admires the action of Gov. Deneen, who removed the Cairo sheriff from office. The Courier-Journal intimates that the Shipp ovation "does not reflect the spirit of the thinking citizens of Chattanooga." But unfortunately the aforesaid "thinking citizens" are such cowards that they do not give utterance to their thoughts; and such moral cowardice exists all over the South. "AS HE WAS, NOT AS HE IS." Maj. Holmes Conrad of Winchester, Va., addressing a meeting of Confederates, said: "We love the Negro as he was, not as he is." The sentiment was applauded with vigor by the men who sought to destroy the Union. That's the Southern idea. When the Afro-American was a slave a good-bleded man was worth $1,500 or $2,000 and that's why he was "loved." Now that the Afro-American has some freedom—he is not yet absolutely free—and is acquiring property and educating his children he isn't "loved" by the Southerner. He's becoming "a menace to Caucasian civilization." IS HEFLIN A CHRISTIAN? Representative Heflin of Alabama preached at Central Union Mission. --- Washington, D. C., Sunday night on "The Christian Spirit." Evidently he was talking on a subject with which he was little acquainted. For years he has labored like a fiend to misrepresent and injure a class of people who compose a large percentage of the population of his congressional district. Because the Afro-Americans are cheated out of their votes, Heflin is able to represent Alabama in Congress. He has no moral right to the place, and if he were a true Christian he would scorn to accept a place to which he is not entitled. It was Heflin who suggested that President Roosevelt should have been blown up with dynamite because he entertained an Afro-American at dinner. Is that an evidence of Christianity? Heflin, in his efforts to have some of his fellow citizens labeled as pariahs has introduced a number of jimcrow measures in Congress. Is that the Christian Spirit? Heflin spends a lot of his time writing articles and making public speeches against his brothers in black. Is that the Christian Spirit? Some time ago Heflin shot and dangerously wounded two men, one an Afro-American, the other a Caucasian, He came near being a murderer, Christ never tried to kill anyone. Judging Heflin by his life and deeds, he is not a Christian, but a lieutenant of Satan. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, refused to make speeches in favor of prohibition in Chicago, saying: "Prohibition is a failure. I am not in sympathy with that movement." And Mr. Gompers is right. Prohibition is the monumental fake. Nowhere in the country do prohibition laws prohibit the sale of liquor. In the South they were enacted for the purpose of preventing Afro-Americans from drinking and allowing the white people to get all the liquor. The demand of the ultimate consumer for cheap amusement is no less emphatic than his demand for cheaper beef. The proof of this assertion is that the high-grade performances are being starved out while the nickel theatres are on a boom, which is evident from the fact that they are becoming as numerous as the locusts of Egypt, to say nothing of the leaves of Vallambrosa.

An Open Letter From the National Grand Secretary. According to request I render to you a true statement of the present condition of our national organization. The so-called "Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. or the World," organized in the city of St. Paul in August, 1909, by Walter M. Farmer, W. F. Bledsoe, et al., has been declared fake, and dissolved by the state of Iowa, while other articles of incorporation were taken out; and Walter M. Farmer dare not issue a proclamation, pass word or in any way hold himself out as National Grand Master. So hard have these bolters been pressed in their rebellion that their followers today are not in possession of a national password, and the state grand masters, in direct violation of the national constitution are issuing pass words to hold their members together. Already Farmer has been put out of business in Illinois, Bledsoe has been injoined in Texas from meeting any lodge or temple in his state, Texas, and no lodge or temple in his state calling itself U. B. F. or S. M. T. without being in possession of a pass word. The Gaines side has won a pleate victory over Morgan T. White in U. B. F. or S. M. T. can meet, hold property or exercise any rights in that state without the Gaines pass word. Only Missouri and Tennessee have not felt the strong arm of the law, which will, however, visit them in the near future. We have just had a judgment granted in the District Court of St. Paul against W. F. Bledsoe, Past National Grand Treasurer for principal and damages of one thousand two hundred and fifty-nine dollars and nine cents ($1,259.09). I was surprised and almost humiliated when I learned that you had allowed certain irresponsible parties, without the shadow of law, and in direct violation of their sworn obligations to support the laws the national state and subordinate lodge, to organize so-called U. B. F. and S. M. T. lodges and temples in your jurisdiction and to parade themselves as such. They should not be allowed to continue in their rebellion another day. The rebels are on the run now everywhere, keep them going. Yours in J. M. and T., M. R. Perry, National Grand Secretary. "MRS, WIGGS OF THE CABBAGE PATCH." The Next Attraction at the Grand Theatre. What that has read "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," can ever forget the death of Tim—a passing comparable in pathos to the end of Little Nell. As the brave boy and good son fares forth on the lonely way he murmures of "the meadow and trees laughin' all the birds singing' singin', singin'." Except for this tragic interlude nature laughs, for Mrs. Wiggs and the birds sing always and despite a neighborhood calculated to crush into despair all but the most resolute of optimists. But it doesn't crush Mrs. Wiggs, and the reasons why set forth in her own apt, infinitely way, coupled with vivid pictures of her now famous life in the Cabbage Patch made the play bearing her name the laughter, wholesome fund and occasional tears, on the stage of today. Here is the very warp and woof of American life in mean streets, and the art of Mrs. Rice the novelist, and of Mrs. Flexner, the dramatist, have combined to make flowery with wit and joly and charity and rollicking fun the dreary place that furnishes the locale there is another woman to be long before there is another woman the stature of Mrs. Wiggs. She has seized upon the imagination of the nation, and her wise sayings, couched in homely phrases, are a possession we would be loath to lose. In its dramatic form, "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" ran for 150 performances in New York, 300 performances in London and a season in Australia. Mrs. Wiggs will be here at the Grain Palace next, starting Sunday matinee March 20. THE COSMOPOLITAN MUTUAL CAUSALY CO William Cannon Thomas H. Lyles WINNERS LAST TUESDAY HERBERT P.

In some new houses which have recently been built at Knutsford in Cheshire a very pretty idea has been carried out to encourage the bird loving propensities of the occupants. The idea is to have nesting places for our feathered friends. A local writer says: "Instead of filling up the holes left by the scaffolding the architect had closed them with a thin covering of stucco pierced with a round bole. The birds enter and build inside. Sometimes you may see a tiny step just below for the gap to keep out the rain." Other holes have also been purposefully left in the brickwork for nests, and it is said that the birds understand it all perfectly.—Country Life. Paying safe.
