The Appeal

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. VOL. 26. NO. 30. WHERE GRE ARE LO by EDWARD WHERE GREAT SECRETS ARE LOCKED UP by EDWARD B. CLARK HE state, war and navy building which houses, as its name suggests, the three great departments of the government, is at once the most interesting and the least interesting to visitors of all Washington's great public structures. There are secrets in hundreds locked up in the breasts of the officials of the three departments, and in written, printed and photographic form, locked up in the office vaults. In a sense the building is the least interesting because the outward manifestation of matters of public moment is not in the least showy. It is the most interesting from the curiosity point of view because all visitors find themselves speculating as to what great state and war matters are concerning the officials whose lips are sealed, and whose actions often betray unconsciously the fact that they are burden bearers of mystery. It was not long ago that the name of Jefferson Davis, at one time secretary of war, and afterward president of the Confederacy was recut into the aqueduct bridge which was planned at the time that he was secretary of war. Years ago the name was chiseled out because of the pitch of feeling that existed in the north against Davis' action in advocating secession and in heading the Confederacy of the southern states. Feeling died away and lately the name was restored for the sake of historic accuracy and also to mark the coming of an era of good feeling. On the wall of the room outside the private office of Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson, are at least 30 portraits of former secretaries and among them is the picture of Jefferson Davis, the chief of the Confederacy. The painting has hung there unchallenged for many years, and it will remain there, barring the accident of fire, for all time to come. It is by far the best painting in the room as a work of art, and persons who do not recognize the features of Davis ask almost instant- GEORGE VON L. MEYER, SECRET OF the NAVY CORPORATE MAN OF MILITARY PROJECT ly who it is, for it is such a striking bit of the painter's craftsmanship that it stands out from the other portraits, not all of which are meritorious as likenesses or as evidences of genius in the artist. In the president's new office room in the White House, one that is included in the new part of the office building, there are today two pictures only, one of them that of his father and the other that of Theodore Roosevelt. One is at the left and the other at the right, and they both overlook the scene of the president's official activities. Some people have said that there are strained relations between President Taft and former President Roosevelt. There are those who believe that proof of this will come only when the portrait of Mr. Taft's predecessor is superseded by the portrait of some other man. In the building which houses the state, war and navy departments is housed the general staff of the army, of which Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood is the chief. The country has perhaps only a vague idea of the duties which the officials of the general staff perform. When the Spanish-American war began it was found that the United States because of the long period of peace and because of the belief that war was unlikely, was in a state badly prepared to enter on conflict. The army was fairly, well equipped, but the National Guard regiments were in a bad state of preparation. When the war was over immediate steps were taken to prevent any like condition of affairs in the future, and under the inspiration of the then secretary of war, Elluhu Root, and of Colonel William H. Carter, now brigadier general and assistant chief of staff, the formation of a body of officers whose duty it was to be to make in time of peace preparation for war, was begun. The general staff of the United States army was the result, and today it is a most efficient body. If war were to be declared tomorrow against any nation of the earth, it would be found that the United States as far as limitations of its armed forces would permit, would be ready to make the most of what it has in the way of arms and men. Of the secrets which are held in the state, war and navy building the most important are those which have to do with preparations for possible conflict with every nation on earth. These secrets are in the keeping of officers of the twin services, the army and navy, and while they are different in their nature, they both have to do with means for offensive and defensive operations in the unlikely case that this country one T THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. JULY 23. 1910. STATE, WAR AND NAVY BUILDING THE WAR AND NAVY BUILDING JACOB M. DICKINSON, SECRET OF WAR Copyright 1909 by MOWE STUDIO day may be forced into the position of a combatant. The course that is followed by the United States government in making plans to conduct a war in case war comes is the course followed by every great country of the world, and so no nation can take offense because it is known that the United States outlines plans to meet another country on the field, or on the high seas of conflict. War games are played yearly in the army and navy "closets" of all the great countries of the world, and while they are called games, they have a certain grimness about them that is not at all playful. War with Great Britain is the remotest kind of possibility, and yet a board of naval officers and a board of army officers have prepared plans which will be put into service, unless the lapse of time renders them useless, in case such a conflict shall occur. The same statement holds true of preparations for possible trouble with France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, Russia and all the other great countries, and with countries of less degree of strength, importance and population. Comparatively recently when it became known that it would be necessary to reoccupy Cuba, the order for reoccupation came suddenly. While no one knew it definitely, every preparation for just such a contingency had been made by the army board, and as soon as the order was issued, transports were ready and certain troops were designated for foreign service, and they were sent at once "to the front" properly equipped and with every arrangement made for their travel and their subsistence and with every plan made for their course of procedure when in the island. Some time ago when it seemed likely that because of the activities of President Castro of Venezuela, this country might have difficulty with the South American republic, a republic in little more than in name, it would have been possible to have invaded Venezuela with an armed force, and to have done it without much preliminary preparation. Every inch of the Venezuela country likely to be traversed by an invading army was known to the American authorities. The roads were known, and every point of vantage and disadvantage was known. It had been said that it would have been practically impossible for a foreign force to reach Castro in his fastness, but the situation and all its difficulties was understood, and it was the belief of the war game students in the great Washington building which stands opposite the White House, that Castro could be brought to terms quickly, even though it must be done by a comparatively small force sent from a great distance. While the members of the general staff of the army make preparations for all demands that may be made on the service in case war should come, it is what is known as the war college which works out the actual problems of warfare. Officers are detailed as students at the war college and while various kinds of work are set for them to do, the most important is that of engaging in a war game inside the four walls of the room, a game which one day may have for the scene of its action, territory thousands of miles in extent. One of the last plays which occupied the attention of the ANCIENT HERO SLOW Not Up to Money-Making and Free Advertising Tricks. Didn't Go on Vaudeville Stage, But His Fame Was More Enduring Than the Present-Day Idol's. Kansas City, Mo.—In these utilitarian days the hero business pays heavy dividends—all of which is fine for the heroes but bad for that form of religion known as hero worship. Everybody who has discovered the north pole has come back and by means of lectures and books reaped a heavy harvest of pieces of eight; Jack Binn, the wireless operator who saved the passengers of the steamer Republic, had no sooner got his feet on the firm earth than he signed up with a theatrical manager and went on the stage. For this reason the heroes we are manufacturing these days are not durable. They last a few days and their glory fades. Our literature and art would be pretty hard up for her material if the ancient forerunners in the hero business had acted this way. Imagine reading anything like this in the morning Bugle of Rome after Harotious had pulled his famous stunt of holding the Main street bridge over THE VIRS ON THE DONTU Horatius Has Developed a Marked Dramatic Talent. the Tiber while his companions cut the plies beneath it. "The Homeric Amusement company announced that it had secured the service of Horatius Cocles, the infant captain who will be remembered by the popul as having held the bridge across the Tiber a few weeks ago. Mr. Cocles will be the headliner on an all-star vaudeville bill that will begin at the Circus Maximus on theides of this month, with a special matinee for slaves and freedmen. Local Thespians declare that Horatius has developed a marked dramatic talent and that he is especially good on the comedy stuff, with which his initial sketch is replete. The skit is called 'The Vira on the Pontus' and includes some laugable situations. In one of these Horatius fights Spurius Lartus, who represents the enemy, with a newly-invented slap stick. Lartus is knocked to the stage, landing with a loud "Boomt" furnished by the bass drum. The two then lock arms and sing the popular new song "When the Spooney Moon Is Shining O'er the Tiber." Mr. Horatius has secured a leave of absence from the army for the rest of the season." Or this little mess, deserves from army officers was one which assumed the possibility that the Japanese were intending to land on the Pacific coast. Over at Newport, Rhode Island, the naval war college had worked out the problem which would confront the navy if the Japanese fleet had succeeded in reaching the Pacific coast. Of course there were two answers to the problem and one involved the defeat and the scattering of the Japanese ships. The army officers gave consideration only to the condition which would arise if the Japanese navy had overmatched ours, and the Japanese had succeeded in landing a great army on the Pacific coast. In working out these war games, officers are detailed to represent the enemy and others to represent the forces of this country. The "moves" in the game are watched and umpires decide which has the better of the matter. When the game has been finished the various moves, if they are deemed to be successful from the viewpoint of America, become a part of the plans which are recommended for adoption in case the war game becomes a dire reality. In the war and navy building there are naval secrets. Once on a time a magazine contained an article which said in effect there had been great mistakes in the building of our battleships and cruisers. The article met with some approval and some disapproval at the hands of the naval experts. One statement in it was to the effect that when our battleships were not heavily-laden the heavy armor plate was above water and that consequently a part of the hull, the most vulnerable part made a fair and unprotected target for the enemy's guns. Or this little press dispatch from Madrid in the early days: "Madrid, May 1, 1493—Christopher Columbus of 3483 Granada avenue delivered his first lecture last night at the Spanish Bull Fighting association's arena, in South Madrid. Their Royal Highnesses Ferdinand and Isabella were not able to attend, as planned, on account of one of the young princes having eaten too many green dates the day before and requiring the attendance of the royal M. D.'s all night. Otherwise the event was a distinct success. Only standing room could be secured after 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Columbus was a little hoarse, but his delivery was earnest and, with the aid of his maps, it was evident that he convinced even those anvil artists who have been averring that he did not discover any new continent at all, but has been in Genoa all this time working in his father's wool warehouse." In making the comparison, the writer of the article said that one of the great British warships, the one most recently launched and considered the most formidable, was protected by her heavy armorplate no matter whether she was heavy laden or light laden. It was stated that this dreadnaught's heavy armorplate extended below the water line at all times and the intimation was that the statement could not be disproved. As soon as this article appeared inquiry was made at the navy department concerning the truth of the story that our ships were unprotected at certain times by their heavy armorplate and that the reverse was true of one of the British dreadnaughts. From a dark recess in a vault there was brought forth a photograph which had been secured of the British ship which had been used for the comparison. The photograph took all the strength out of the written statement. "Geneva, Sept. 6, a good-long-time-ago. The performance of William Tell of bow, arrow and apple fame, made a decided hit last night, with an audience that crowded the Grand opera house to its capacity. Mr. Tell's was a 'silent' act, and came between the imperial Swiss bell ringers and the Gordon brothers, acrobats. Mr. Tell was assisted by his ten-year-old son, Jimmy Tell, on whose head the apple was placed at the order of the Rt. Hon. Gov. Gessler. The young man displayed a nerve worthy of his cool-headed sire. Not only did Mr. Tell shoot repeated apples from the boy's scalp across the 30-foot stage, but he shot 'em with his eyes shut, lying on his back and pulling his bow with his feet, and from other novel positions. After this the boy threw apples into the alr and Mr. Tell spiked them with unerring arrows, without missing one. The young man then retaliated by shooting apples from his father's head and doing about everything that the old man's act was guilty of. It is probable that in all the navy departments of the world there are photographs of the warships of other nations. These are not hard to obtain for they are on sale everywhere, but there are photographs taken under certain conditions which are not supposed to be in common circulation. Some of these photographs show ships at a disadvantage, and they are of service to the naval authorities of countries which one day may engage in warfare. It is probable that a good supply of photographs of this kind taken of foreign vessels is in the possession of the United States authorities. The state, war and navy building has its secrets, and while the show places in the structure are not many, there is a sense of interest and mystery which appeals to the visitors when they wander through the corridors. in time of war this building is the scene of the greatest activity, for the three departments which it houses are those which have to do with warfare in its very essence. The state department in perilous times has a work no less important than the work which falls to the lot of the army and navy. REPAIRING AN OLD CHURCH Celebration to Be Held in the Karlskirche, Vienna, Made Famous by Plague. Vienna.—The famous old Karlskirche, or Karl's church, erected here as a thank after the cessation of the great plague of two centuries ago, is undergoing extensive repairs. The work is being done in preparation for a great celebration. The church had its origin in much the same way as the Oberamergau Passion Play came into existence. The Famous Karlskirche. When Bavaria was visited by a pestleence peasants in the mountain village registered a vow that if they were spared they would perform a religious play every ten years. It was nearly one hundred years later that parts of Austria suffered from a plague. When it subsided the Vienna resolved on the construction of a great temple. Work on the Karlskirche began in 1716 and was completed 20 years later. The celebration now being planned will be held in 1916. It will be in the nature of a thanksgiving service, commemorating the completion of two centuries in the life of the parish. The church is a lofty building, surmounted by a huge dome. Two belfries, each resembling Trajan's column, and each 108 feet high and 13 feet in diameter, flank the portico. Effects of the plague are represented in relief in the tympanum. The building occupies a commanding position on an elevation in the south-central part of the city. The dome is now encircled by scaffolding while the decorative material of the exterior is being replenished. SAYS NORTH POLE WOBBLES New York.—It will be news to many people that the north and south poles are seldom twice in the same place. Prof. Garrett P. Serviss states that the earth wobbles, and consequently the position of the poles is constantly shifting. That this is the case is proved says the professor, by the fact that the polar regions were once inhabited by tropical forms of life. From this he argues that the two poles were once on the equator, and the equator once ran through the two poles. The fact that the earth's axis is constantly shifting means that neither of the poles remains always in the same place. Thus there is a possibility that one expedition will find the pole at one place in one year, and another will find it in another place the next year. Our map shows Professor Servis' estimation of the various positions occupied by the north pole during the last ten years. BOY MADE $55 BY PICKEREL Thirteen-Year-Old Lad of Worcester, Mass., is the Champion Fisherman. Worcester, Mass—Leo Addison Handy, thirteen, of Rutland, is the champion boy fisherman here. From December 10 to March 11 he earned $55 fishing for pickerel, besides the fish he caught for family use. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Handy and spends his spare time fishing. He has a line on the best places and knows where to go the nicest bait. He caught 280 pickerel between the above dates, besides catching all the shiners he needed for bait. The first day he fished he caught 40 pickerel which he sold for $4.90, the largest weighing two and three-quarter pounds. The second day he caught 26 pickerel weighing 28 pounds, and during December he caught 135 pickerel, besides attending school, not missing a day. He was off the ice in January and February on account of cold weather, catching but 45 pickerel during those two months. From March 5 to March 11 he caught 100 pickerel and in a single week he made $12.50 shaping. $2.40 PER YEAR PAWNSHOP SWINDLE Loan Shark's "Dead Sure Thing" Crooked Game. Ticket Calling for a Ring Is Advertised for Sale and the Purchaser Finds He Has Been Duped. New York—"The crookedest game on Broadway," so described by a jeweler of Long Acre square, appears to be absolutely beyond the reach of the police authorities. It is a pawnshop swindle, with the pawnbroker as the principal crook. The scheme first became known among the Broadway jewelers, who of late have received an amazing number of requests for valuation on articles of jewelry, mostly diamond rings, pins and bracelets set with other precious stones. Here is a sample of the conversation that takes place in the jewelry shop: Customer—I have a ring here which I would like to have you examine and tell me what it is worth. Jeweler—We charge one dollar for placing a valuation. Customer—Very well, here is the ring. The jeweler seldom asks what the customer paid for the ring: it is his "Offer to Let You Have $75—Maybe $85—on it." part of the bargain to say what the baule is actually worth. He steps back to a rear window where there is a good light, and in less than five minutes he returns with something written on a small piece of paper. The markings read about like this: "Diamond; pure white stone, 1¼ carats, $175. Customer—What's this? Jeweler—The ring is worth exactly $190, just what it would cost you if you wished to buy a duplicate. Customer—You are away off, my man. Why, that ring was pawned for $250. Jeweler—Yes, I know, and you gave $25 for the ticket. Customer—How do you know that? Jeweler—I am sorry to inform you, my dear sir, but you have been swindled. Let me ask you, did you not read an advertisement in a newspaper offering the ticket for sale? Customer—Yes, I did. But I'm not fool enough to believe that a pawnbroker would lend $250 on a ring that is worth only $190. Why, everybody knows that pawnbrokers, as a rule, lend only one-third the value on any article, no matter what it is. Jeweler—Entirely wrong, my friend. A pawnbroker might not lend you quite the actual value of your jewelry, but he will lend himself a great deal more than the article is worth, and then give the ticket to a friend to advertise for sale. Do you catch the drift of what I mean? The pawn-ticket bargain hunter begins to see a great light, but he is not satisfied until he has paid at least three jewelers one dollar each to tell him that he has been robbed. The crooked pawnbroker simply takes a ring out of stock, puts it up in a package and pins on it a ticket with a fake name, indicating that on a certain day the ring has been pledged for $150. The dulpicate ticket is turned over to the confederate, who then inserts an advertisement in an evening newspaper which reads as follows: "Owing to financial embarrassment I am compelled to dispose of a pawn ticket for beautiful diamond ring pledged for $150; worth $250; only one month's interest due. Will sell cheap. Address Needy, 176, this office." The sucker may have had some experience with pawnbrokers, and he knows well enough they are too shrewd to lend $150 on a ring unless it is worth considerably more than that amount. He makes an appointment with "Needy" and takes a look at the ticket. The holder wants $25 for the ticket, but finally comes down to $10. In fact, he will take almost anything he can get. Very well. You pay $10 for the ticket and go at once to redeem the pledge. The interest on $150 at two per cent for one month is three dollars, making the ring cost you in all $106. Any jeweler will tell you it is worth only $100. AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? ST. PAUL OFFICE No. 236 UNION BLOCK, 4TH & CEDAR J. Q. ADAMS, Manager.

Wm. H. Taff's speech accepting Republication nomination for Presidency. SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1910. OH, YE HYPOCRITS. No better proof of the failure of the Caucasian Christian Church of America to stand squarely in opposition to the color line, can be found than the recent episode in the International Sunday School Congress, which met in Washington, D. C., last week. The Congress is alleged to be a meeting of Sunday school workers from every land, but the local committee decided to bar all Afro-Americans of the District of Columbia from the street parade. Ten thousand Caucasians, East Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Siamese, Malavs, Hawaiians and members of various colored races, paraded the streets of the National capital singing "Onward, Christian Soldits!" Only three Afro-Americans were in the procession, the District of Columbia and Virginia would not permit colored American Christians in the parade. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a mustache.] A statement issued by the Treasury Department shows that the receipts from customs during the fiscal year 1910 exceeded those of any other year in the history of the country. The customs receipts for the fiscal year 1909-19-0 were $333,043,800. The greater part of the year has been under the Payne tariff law. The receipts for the last nine years were as follows: 1902, $254.444,708.10; 1903, $284,470.581; 1904, $261,274,544.81; 1905, $261,856.91; 1906, $300,251,877.77; 1907, $322,233,362.70; 1908, $286,113,130.29; 1909, $300,711.533.98; 1910, $333,043,800.00. It was the most unchristian, un-American incident which has occurred in many years President Tairkield of Howard University, the Boston delegation and every British delegate entered vigorous protest against the action, but the Congress as a body paid no attention to the protests and the resolutions adopted while setting forth that the highest aim and mission of the Sunday school is to teach the Bible to all people and all lands and deploring the evils of the liquor traffic among the backward races, etcetera, etcetera, ad nauseam, the resolutions closed with commendation of the local committee. Now if the Congress is a Christian organization, it is the opinion of THE APPEAL that it ought to have denounced and repudiated the unchristian action of the Washington local committee and the stand of the Virginia delegation. When the movement to bar the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures was started THE APPEAL ventured the suggestion that the action was not in the interest of public morality, but an evidence of the existence of a bitter race prejudice. There has been an abundance of evidence to prove this contention, and the latest proof is the action of the Georgia legislature, which has passed a bill prohibiting the exhibition of pictures showing fights between men of different races. White slugers may pound each other to pieces and black bruisers may pummel each other's heads into jelly and the pictures may be shown for delectation of the pious crackers, but a square fight will not be allowed. The Georgia style is for 400 or 500 well-armed white brutes to take ONE Afro-American out and Lynch him. The most sensible train of thought concerning the Reno fight comes from the Mayor of Toledo, Ohio: "Some persons talk as if this prize fight and decided the question of supremacy between the black and white 1910 M.

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 holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world.

Perhaps he could whip Mr. Roosevelt. And I have no doubt that Mr. Jeffries in his present battered condition could defeat Booker T. Washington." A writer speaking of the large number of American schools in Turkey says: "The effect of American education is to open their minds, to broaden their horizon, to make them more tolerant and liberal." Well, that is more than it does in the Southern states, where education of the whites seems to increase their hatred of he Afro-American. Mississippi has ordered a rigid inspection of all foodstuffs owing to the discovery of several cases of pellagra, caused by sour cornmeal imported from the West. Such inspection is greatly needed in a sate that has such an ignorant population as Mississippi. Congressman Howard of Georgia is greatly interested in the condition of the Jews in Russia, but pays little attention to the similar condition of the Afro-Americans in Georgia. If Jeffries had licked Johnson there would have been less objection to the films. 1920 ministration the Postal Deficit Has 2000 In Nine Months, an Unprece- tory of the Department. 一. G. Wells in the N. Y. Independent A. B. A Committee of Fifty Is Considering the Advisability of Building a Lincoln Memorial in Washington City. The immorality of the Afro-American is a favorite topic for discussion by moralists of other races; and indeed is the cause assigned as the necessity for grandfather clauses and jim crow laws. The most ardent advocate for the denounced race must admit that a few of the statements are true, but when comparison is made between the races, we at once enter upon debatable ground and there is room for argument. A vast number of proofs can be adducted to show that a white skin is by no means an evidence of high moral attainments: one of which we shall at once produce. It requires the vast number of 270,000 prostitutes to supply the demand in the three cities of London, Berlin and Paris. The average life of a prostitute is five years. Out of the foregoing number 90,000 attempt suicide and one-fourth of the latter number succeed. At the end of five years the number must be recruited and mainly on account of the poverty of the working classes, the supply is readily obtained. The girl who was raised in luxury and has been reduced to poverty rarely escapes being the victim of those circumstances. A host of professional traffickers is continually on the alert to supply the market and many well-intentioned girls are actually entrapped and enmeshed as to be forced to yield. Not a few parents are base enough to consent to the degradation of their offspring, for the sake of filthy lucre. Not only this, but the notorious prevalence of divorce in the highest ranks of society, is an evidence of easy virtue not much better than actual public prostitutes. We need not specify cases—the woods are full of them. If the testimony of travelers is worthy of credit, prostitution is the vice of civilization. ABRAHAM A Committee of Fifty. Is Considering Memorial in W THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN ED ITORS. It is a remarkable fact that the Caucasian editors persist in speaking of the Afro-Americans of the United States as if they were as wild, ignorant and uncultivated as the tribes of the jungles of Africa. For instances the Washington Herald says: "The Negro does not know by inheritance or early training how to care for himself, either as to temperature or sanitation. He still needs supervision and instruction, even compulsory, in such affairs of self-preservation." The foregoing is true in reference to a large fraction of the race, just as it is true of a very large number of both races. So far as the North is concerned, there is very little difference in the intelligence or mode of living of members of the two races, if we compare individuals of about equal means of living. It would be hard to find, in any part of the United States, any Afro-Americans who need supervision and instruction as to sanitary matters so badly as the miners in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. According to the testimony of credible witnesses, the miners live in a condition of utter disregard of the rules of decency or hygiene. The case of the Afro-American is not a peculiar one; as a general thing he compares, class by class, very well with his white neighbors. SEPARATE Y. M. C. A.'S. There may be some excuse for the separate Young Men's Christian Association in the South, where the line between the races is distinctly drawn, but in the North there is no justification for their existence. The Afro-Americans who are urging the establishment of separate Y. M. C. A.'s are making a grave mistake. They should consider the question from every angle before using their influence in favor of a movement which will be farreaching in its ef- feets and may come back sometime in the shape of discriminating and repressive laws and finally in the withdrawal of all civil and political rights from the race. There are in the United States a few individuals who have proved themselves to be true Christians, but the alleged Caucasian Christian Church in this country justified slavery and has never taken a decided stand for the rights of men. The Y. M. C. A. people in many Northern communities are endeavoring to segregate the Afro-American, thus proving that in one respect the Association is not a Christian organization. If Afro-Americans think that an organization similar to the Y. M. C. A. is needed in any particular community, they should form one and call it by some other name. Under no circumstances should they have any connection with the Central Y. M. C. A., which as a rule in cities where there are colored branches, admits to the central organization members from all branches except the colored branch. To become a branch of an organization which discriminates is to admit inferiority. That Afro-Americans should become parties to the segregation plan is inconceivable, yet many are doing so. THE APPEAL believes that these members of the race, who are in many instances, intelligent people, are misguided and after they have carefully considered the matter and see the perils the plan entails will about face and refuse to segregate themselves. Better call a halt now. Unless segregation is stopped it will continue to grow and it is not impossible that within ten years the jimcrow car will roll into Chicago. Men and women of the race, consider well your actions! LINCOLN the Advisability of Building a Lincoln washington City. THE LYING SOUTHERN EDITOR. One of the severest tests of the ingenuity of the Southern editor is the lying rendered necessary by every case of lynching that occurs. He knows that he is depended upon to present the thing in a plausible manner for the benefit of the world at large and to make it appear that the crime committed was of such appalling atrocity that the highly respectable people who avenged it were entirely justifiable, that the evidence was completely satisfactory and that the affair was conducted with dignity and good taste. By diligent and frequent practice, the Southern editor has became perfect in his role and can do the necessary lying in the finest kind of style. Hence the truth in regard to such matters almost never comes to the light. It would not do to astonish the world with the real truth about many such occurrences. RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS HOME. We welcome with pleasure every indication of a disposition on the part of the Southern brother to treat the Afro-American with fairness and justice and such an instance recently occurred in the state of Arkansas. A difficulty took place between a white man and and an Afro-American. Later the white man went to the Afro-American's house and shot at him. The Afro-American returned the fire and wounded the white man. The jury awarded the Afro-American two years in the penitentiary. Judge A. B. Grace set aside the verdict and ruled that the Afro-American had the same right to defend his home as the white man had; so he discharged the prisoner. At first glance the foregoing may seem a rather unimportant matter, but we pronounce it one of supreme importance and know that it required no little courage upon the part of the judge to take action. --- Dearborn Building.

The band was on out a sort of "joy ride" last Tuesday afternoon and serenaded several of the places of business operated by Afro-Americans. They then went out to the union Sunday school picnic at Como Park and rendered several selections, which pleased the children very much until the Park police ordered the band to "move on." It is presumed they did not wish the park band to have any opposition. In the evening the band had its boat excursion and took out a big crowd of the music-loving public that was loud and profuse in its praise of the sweet strains which kept the merry feet going in perfect time until the boat landed at 12 p. m. Harry Moore acted as leader, Clarence Mills band master. 4 SUITS PRESSED VALET TAILORING CO. 156 E. SIXTH ST $1 BON VOYAGE!
