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- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 26. NO. 33. The Lure of National C e Lure Nationa The Lure of the National Capital HEY cannot keep away, for the Washington lure is strong upon them. The attraction of the capital draws former senators and former representatives here just as surely as the call of duty summons the present officeholders. They drift down in November and scores of them stay until the adjournment, and scores stay all through the summer. Some men who before they were sent to congress rarely left the environments of their home villages have found after a term or two in the capital city, that the district had few attractions to offer them, provided there was money enough in their bank accounts to keep them in comfort in the city by the Potomac. There are former senators and representatives whose influence has been sufficient to secure them government positions in the capital which will not only allow them to remain here, but which will pay them for their stay. The lot of these men seems to be particularly fortunate, and they are the objects of more or sons and to inability to get office are compelled to return home. There are plenty of evidences that former representatives who have chosen, after having once been defeated in the home district, to stay away from the native heath, are not altogether free from the criticisms of the home people, and perhaps there is no reason why they should be. When man has spent his entire life among certain people is when from them by a short residence elsewhere, it seems that resultant springs, and few denials probably will come to the statement that a good many of the former officials who stay in Washington in preference to going home are not without frequent intimations that the people back in the district regard them in some degree as deserters. Of course there are exceptions to every rule and in the case of senators and representatives of long service, who are poor and perhaps too old to renew the practise of the law, or to take up again their mercantile business where they dropped to it serve their constituents, there is excuse for the acceptance of office in Washington in order that the way of old age may be smoothed. Who has been in Washington so long, representing their states, or their districts, that Washington has become their real home, and here they stay after a change of party administration has removed them from representative office. Of the men who stayed in Washington because the place was like home, there should be mentioned former Senator Stewart, "Silver" Stewart of Nevada, who died recently. He was a noted figure on the Washington streets all through his congressional career, and through the few years of his retirement prior to his death. Stewart's hair and beard were as white as the snow at the time he was a mountain, but until within a few hours of his death he was appeared as strong as any tree that grows below the mountain timber line. Frequently the former senators and representatives who live in Washington appear upon the floor of congress. They have the right there to appear because of their former services. There is one marked and shining exception, however, to this rule of occasional return to the chamber where the legislative service was rendered. When Senator Spooner of Wisconsin left congress in 1891, to be gone six years, he declared that he would never appear upon the floor of the senate while he was out of office, nor would he go to the capitol unless his professional business called him to practise before the Supreme Court. Spooner kept his office and obliterated to the fact that he admitted former senators to the floor of the senate. He did not say so, but he thought that in some few cases the lobbying opportunity might be too strong to be resisted by some of the senators who were not above using their personal influence with their former colleagues on behalf of some specific legislation. In the spring of 1807, John C. Spooner resigned from the United States senate. After the six years of his absence from congress was ended he had been returned again to the upper house, but in the spring three years ago he resigned to enter the Senate since the day that Senator Spooner left for his senate. He was not been seen in the senate of the United States, nor has he been seen in the corridors of the capitol. He is in law practice in New York, and occasionally he comes to Washington, but unlike many other former representatives he shuns the actual scene of his legislative activities. Gen. Charles Grosvenor of Ohio, who was in the Senate in 1807, was considered one of its most picturesque characters, a man lively and energetic in debate and appealing personal qualities, stays in the Buck- T THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1910. eye state most of the time now that he has retired from congress, but the Washington lure draws him here occasionally, and he is seen always in his old haunts. General Grosvenor was such a fixture that it seems impossible to realize when he comes back and appears in the old places that he was. No one misses Charles Grosvenor more than Champ Clark, the Democratic leader. Grosvenor is a standpatter of such strength that Mr. Cannon it was, said, used to sit abashed in his presence. Mr. Clark is a free trader so sturdy that the other strong ones are weaklings; but it nevertheless these two tariff extremes met and a mandate that time and separation have not been able to break. the high tariff Republion retired, that they as long as John Dallez with them, Dalzell gave from losing the he by any chance selection it is believed upon him as it has in his way as Groswys was said of him nervous energy in the of Republician interchan is the titular Reall is always the titular Reall is always the dromming its way the wily, wide awake thing to which one no one Pittsburg. he had been asleep at never known night it have lived down the soil moment. One if the last session, as House, three voices that all within a block this emergency and his it to the inquirers, for inpatter; It was said by some of the high tariff Republicans when General Grosvenor retired, that they were not entirely hopeless as long as John Dalzell of Pennsylvania remained with them, Dalzell recently had a narrow escape from losing the nomination for congress. If he by any chance was nominated at the election it is believed that the lure will be as strong upon him as it has upon the others. Dalzell is as picturesque in his way as Grosvenor is in his way. It always was said of him that he never slept. He is nervous energy in the essence, and more watchful of Republican interests generally on the floor than is the titular Republican leader. Mr. Dalzell is always looking out for the interests of his constituents. One drowsy June day when the house was heavy with people striving its way through, Dalzell yielding to environing its way and then napped. Instantly the wily, wide awake Democrats put through something to which no one saw any objection. It touched Pittsburgh. Dalzell awoke too late. He had been asleep at the switch. Had his eyes never known night since that hour, he could not have lived down the memory of that one unconscious moment. One day just before the close of the last session, as he was leaving the White House, three voices in the room shouted, "The block could hear: 'Any sleep this session, John?'" Dalzell was wakeful to this emergency and his answer carried little comfort to the inquirers, for none of the three was a standpatter; "Not if the tariff is up." he said. During the closing days of the last session of congress something of a "fillbuster" was attempted by the Democrats in the senate in order to make sure that action should be taken on the statehood bill. A fillbuster is known to the parties as an attempt to delay legislation. The senate has no set rules like those of the house, and if one man chooses to talk on any particular subject, he can delay the consideration of any measure that he chooses, and the limit of his endurance is the limit of the delay that he can force although if he has other senators of his own mind they can "spell" him in the speaking, and thus in relays continue the fillbuster almost indefinitely. of the last session "filibuster" was at the senate in order to be taken on the is known to the par- legislation. The sen- ate One of the most noted filbusters of recent years was conducted by three men still in the service, and curiously enough the arrangement for the filbuster was made by members of both parties. The active participants were Senators Stone of Missouri and Gore of Oklahoma, Democrat and Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, Republican. The three senators made up their minds that they did not wish to have a vote taken on the currency bill which had been introduced by Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, a bill which some of the senators said was a mere makeup and would accomplish no good purposes. In these days it is hard to find in congress a typical Yankee voice which the Englishmen say is our national characteristic. Gore of Oklahoma, however, has it. Why, it is hard to tell, but he has it in full measure, and no Maine coast man in Yankee voice characteristics can surpass this senator of the western plains state. The filbuster in which Gore, La Follette and Stone part was contained through a night and a day when Washington was hotter than it ever had been known (and leaves no naysayes). When Washington heat was on the session of the capitol's interior it lays hold on the premises not to let go until November. It is impossible to keep cool in either house of congress when the heat of this climate strikes in. During the fearful heat and humidity all one night long, Senator La Follette spoke in an endeavor to keep the currency bill from coming to a vote. He held the floor for 18½ hours practically without stopping. Senator La Follette is fortunate in one respect. When he was a boy, and a little later, he had a thorough training in elocution, and he did not mishap him otherwise, he gave him the secret of strengthening his voice. At the end of 18½ hours of training, La Follette spoke as clearly as he did at the beginning. Perhaps this is not the exact truth, for as a matter of fact, curiously enough the Wisconsin B. CLAHK SEN. JOHN W. STEWART sin senator's voice seemed to be actually in better condition during the closing hour of his ad dress than it was during the opening hour. The Wisconsin senator naturally has rather a rasping voice which like the voice of Gore of Oklahoma, is open to the Yankee characterization, but twang, accent, idiosyncracy, or whatever you may pass with the first few minutes of utterance. The words fall smooth and rounded and with a certain appealing force, even though the subject have nothing of appeal. When a senator has the floor in his own right, he can talk upon any subject under the sun. He does not of necessity have to confine himself to the subject in hand. So it was that La Follette did not speak entirely of the currency question, but about matters as well. Occasionally in order that he might spare his brain the trouble of thought and so keep it unwearied, he read from a book of fiction. During many of the hours La Follette spoke there were comparatively few senators in the chamber. Hour after hour he spoke, and then taking up his book of fiction, he read with a perfect regard for the rules of enunciation. His auditors were all sleepy and most of them were out of humor because there were only two who were in sympathy with them, and yet perforce every person in the chamber gave him a positive reading. For its subject matter perhaps they cared not a whit, and yet by the force of his reading eloquence he drove it home to their attention. When La Follette had ceased speaking Senator Gore of Oklahoma, who as had been planned, took up the work and kept at it for some hours. He was led by a Senator Stone of Missouri, who already was three times the senator's vocal attempt to keep the senate from a vote. The senator had for seven hours and then Gore relieved him once more. That fillibuster ended because Gore being blind, failed to note, and no one told him, that Senator Stone whom he expected was to relieve him, was not present in the chamber when the Oklahoma senator for the third time. The vice-president instantly put the vote and the fillibuster had been in vain. WALKING FOR HEALTH Who has not heard that certain-exercises are good for us because they "shake up" the liver? But it is not the best thing in the world to shake up the liver violently unless one is a trained athlete, and ordinary men and women are very far from being in that category. Exercise increases larger than in production both of bile and of sugar. Hence if it is produced more than that to which one is accustomed, more bile and the system, and the subject may have what is called in popular parlance a "billious attack." Now this is where walking comes in as a happy medium in exercise. We can often "walk off" a headache or a digestive disturbance when running would only aggravate the trouble. It is a fact, supported by the highest authority, that a moderate exercise, such as walking, is a great to digestion. To run would retard digestion. In this case, you will digest your dinner better if you walk out after having eaten it, than if you sit still. Try it. "If you are thin you will gain in weight, besides saving more in the cost of living than you will lose in the wear and tear of shoe leather. But suppose you are already corpulent, will walking after meals, in that case, make you stouter? No. Paradoxical as the statement may sound, walking will in that case make you thinner. Fat is a very unstable compound, and when it is pressured in excess more of it is destroyed by the increase in oxygen in the blood—due to the exercise—than it does to the blood on the other hand when adipose tissue the oxygen-bearing blood, which also carries fatty particles, deposits more fat than it can destroy, and thus the thin subject grows heavier. Walking, then, in the open air is an exercise par excellence for everybody. It shakes up the liver just enough to keep it in good working order, it enriches the blood by increase its amount of oxygen, thus favoring the destruction and elimination from the system of poisonous waste products, particularly by the lungs, skin and kidneys, and finally by stimulating activity of nutrition in the muscles it tends to prevent the deposition of morbid matters of a tuberculosis or cancerous nature.

OLD MEN AT PLAY Missouri Village Has a Marble Craze That Occupies Attention. Men Now Past Sixty Who Find Delight in the Playthings of Their Early Years. Blue Springs, Mo.-Horseshoes! Aw, shuicks! Horseshoes do well enough to furnish a light diversion now and then, but for a serious game of headwork and skill, Blue Springs believes no game is half as good as old-fashioned marbles. For two years the boys and men of Blue Springs—representatives from all of Shakespeare's seven ages—have been playing marbles the year round, each month with increasing skill. There is a legend that Uncle Dan Stanley, who is seventy-four, and Uncle Tom Holloway, who is seventy-five, were so evenly matched in a contest arranged last winter that they lagged from taw for two days with either man winning an advantage of a sixteenth of an inch in the struggle to gain the privilege of having the first shot, and the contest had to be declared a draw before it began. Knickerbocker teams, ten-year-olds, fifteen, twenty-five, and seventy-five-year-old teams, or any other age that a challenger may prefer, can be furnished by Blue Springs on five minutes' notice. Blue Springs challenges the world. Just how marbles got started here no one appears to remember. Possibly some gray-bearded citizen of the town sat on a nail key in front of Pryor's blacksmith shop on a spring day two years ago and got to thinking, while he watched the "kids" playing marbles in the street, that he used to be a pretty fair hand at that game himself in days before the war. Then he went out and knocked a "middler" from "tax"—or almost did—and went back and bragged about it to somebody else. And that other person Sport in Blue Springs, Mo. used to be pretty fair, too, in other days, and went out to see what he could do. Then every one got started. But whatever the beginning may have been, can be no doubt that the game has taken complete possession of Blue Springs and that Pryor's shop is its headquarters. Rain or shine, winter or summer, there is a game every day in the shop or in the street just in front of it. Last winter, when the thermometer stood near zero, a game was played in which all of the contestants were overcoats. On the floor, they were blowing on their knuckles to keep them warm there was a sound like a shoal of porposes. Seven "games" are necessary to win. Knock the middle marble out the first shot and the game is yours. Such a shot is called a "middler." Knock any marble out and you must "clear the ring"—knock all the others too, to win the game. If your marble stays in the square after the first shot, you are "fat," or "dead" for the rest of the game. If some one else hits your taw you are dead for the rest of the game. Lynn Pryor, the blacksmith, stood at taw, took careful aim, and from 12 feet away spotted the middle of the square. One game for Pryor and Binger: but nobody got excited. Midfair law is ordinary occurrences in Blue Springs. John Pryor Moore holds a record of having knocked out 11 of such middlers in 14 shots. A minute later Uncle Dan Stanley knocked a middler. Capt. George Webb, the furniture dealer and under-taker, did the same thing, too, as soon as he had the chance. So did Farmer George Binger. They didn't do so all the time, of course, but middlers came with an astonishing regularity. And when there was a game in which all four men had a chance to shoot, other plays just as remarkable for distance were taken by the gallery at the hammersmith shop door as matter of course. "You must understand," the blacksmith said, "that if a man comes with a horse to be shot, the game stops instanter. But when there's nothing going on, somebody is sure to start a game. Farmers come in on rainy days, sometimes from several miles around, and some of them are good hands at marbles Defective Page UNIQUE THATCHED WINDMILL Old World Form of Supplying Water for Household Convenience Still Seen in Pennsylvania. Arlington, Pa.—"Something unique" is more to be desired than anything that represents mere cost or formality, in the decoration of the grounds of large estates, judging from the un- The Thatched Windmill. usual types represented in many forms of garden utility. In suburban Philadelphia this thought is frequently made distinctive in the building of garden retreats, tearooms, pergolas and various sorts of garden architecture. But there seems to be a special fad at present for displaying unique features in the construction of windmills. The old world form of supplying water for household convenience still forms a picturequeue feature in many suburban sections. But it was only recently that the thatched windmills were introduced, one of the finest types having been constructed on the Hering estate in Abington. Other nominale country seats of this section, the house of Jenkintown and Wyncote, have rather startling and decidedly pleasing ideas in windmill construction; but it has remained for the Hering country seat to set forth the unique in picturesque windmill construction. Not only is the roof of the famous Hering windmill thatched in regulation type, but, fashioned after the most quant of old world types, the entire mill, which is divided into several spacious rooms in its three-story structure, is neatly and compactly the same as Wiles. When water flowing conceived the idea of introducing this unusual type of windmill on his beautiful Abington estate he little thought of the difficulties in his way. It is not surprising that it stands alone in its picturesque beauty, for few would have the patience to oversee its tiled construction. Finally, at great expense, after other plans had failed, a genuine old Scotchman was imported especially for this work. The expense of getting him to the Abington country seat, and having him humid and humming him throughout the work, is now amply repaid in the possession of the only particularly beautiful thatching of this type to be found in this country.

DAN WEBSTER VASE DAN WEBSTER VASE Among Rare Exhibits in Boston's Public Library. Valuable Relic is Made of Pure Coin Silver and Weighs at Least Thirty Pounds. Boston.—The Daniel Webster vase, now the property of the city of Boston, has been placed among the list of rare exhibits in the fine arts department of the public library. It is made of pure coin silver, weighs at least thirty pounds, and is worth intrinsically a tidy fortune. The vase was presented to Mr. Webster on October 12, 1835, at the Odeon, which was the name by which the Federal street theater was then known, and a crowded house of interested spectators was placed to a responsive hour-and-a-half speech, an acknowledgment of the gift, by the foremost political orator of his time. The current newspapers records of the event say that the money to defray the cost of the vase was raised by small subscriptions. No one subscriber was permitted to contribute a sum in excess of one dollar. The result of such a restriction was a large list of contributors and no attempt seems to have been made to preserve the names. Neither was there any reference made to the aggregate of the sum which was raised. We know it is nothing descriptive of this massive piece of plate," said Edilor Buckingham, Counsel of October 13, "until we can obtain a more exact account than we are now prepared to give." The Courter also said that 3,000 persons witnessed the ceremony of presentation, a large estimate for the capacity of Boston's first theater, and listened to the speeches. Francis C. Gray spoke for the subscribers and referred in many complimentary phrases to the services of Senator Webster in his debate with Robert Y. Hayne of South Carolina in 1832. Mr. Webster, in closing his address, said: "Now I want you to go on, right on, straightforward in maintaining in your utmost zeal and with all your power the true principles of the best, the happiest, the most glorious The Daniel Webster Vase. constitution of a free government with which it has pleased providence in any age to bless any of the nations of the earth." In 1865, or nearly thirteen years after the death of Mr. Webster, public-spirited citizens of Boston purchased the vase of the heirs of the Webster estate, and in a formal letter to Mayor F. W. Lincoln conveyed the "massive piece of plate" to the city of Boston. Among the list of subscribers to this enterprise, which was purchased by the city, were such prominent names as Henry Gardner, F. O. Prince, G. S. Hillard, H. W. Palne, E. D. Jordan, Peter Butler, H. D. Parker, J. P. Healey, Leverett Stallonfall and Peter Harvey. STOPS HIS BOUNTY ON FLIES Middlesborough (England) Alderman I. Swampen (Direct Disease) Bredrama London.—"Please have mercy on me and withdrew my offer to buy dead files and bluebottles," writes Ald. Mattison of Middlesborough to a local newspaper. A few days ago Mr. Mattison, aware of the baleful effects of housefiles and bluebottles on the public health, proposed through the sanitary department to pay a penny (two cents) for every 50 files and a penny for every 12 bluebottles delivery of pins, to the corporation offices. His offer stirred the wags in Middlesborough. One wrote to Mr. Mattison: "Will you quote me a price on daddy longlegs? I can deliver a choice lot." Another wrote: "What is your quotation today on gnats and fleas?" This was the funny side of Mr. Mattison's adventure into practical philanthropy, but it also had its serious side for him. Flesh and bluebottles arrived at the corporation offices by the thousands. Every small boy in Middlesborough was busy and even men and women joined in the crusade. One boy delivered 1,200 dead files in a single lot and the clerks had to leave their ordinary work to receive, count and pay for files. The corporation office reeked with the odor of the disease and the clerks had to leave their heaps in looking for files and their mothers are after Mr. Mattison's scalp. Hence the alderman's frantic cry to the newspapers to call off the hunt. He is out £15 ($75) in cash. "I don't mind that," he writes, "but I have 200,000 dead files on my hands and have lost my reputation. I wanted to promote the public health, but I am going to give every boy in town some infectious disease." HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? ST. PAUL OFFICE No. 236 UNION BLOCK, 4TH & CEDAR J. Q.

THE PALESTINE MASSACRE That the killing of the Afro-Americans in Texas was simply a wanton, savage butchery, without even the usual pallations for such occurrences, is evident from the testimony of good citizens of the state. It was a butchery which puts that of Kischnev in eclipse and surpasses that of Bialystok. The whole country, not Texas alone, is disgraced by such a demonstration that a large portion of the citizens of Texas are as savage as the Cossacks and as ferocious as the Modoc Indians. Is it surprising that the Austrian government is throwing every possible obstacle in the way of the migration of her citizens to the South? In Alabama a man charged with murder went free because the clerk of the courts in writing the word "malice" in the indictment left out [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a mustache].

In North Carolina an enraged citizen shot a neighbor through the breast, inflicting a wound which resulted in the latter's death and his own arrest for murder. A short time later, however, he was released from custody. In the indictment the clerk had spelled breast "b-r-e-s-t." The court held that the misspelled indictment was not legal and freed the prisoner. Much of the deterioration of our national morals is due to the actions of well-meaning but silly people who adopt with eagerness almost any plan to raise funds for the promotion of a good object without any reference to its propriety or impropriety. In our opinion, just such a plan as what is called "tag day." We should be a little slow in expressing this opinion; we not in accord with some of the sanest thinkers of the country. Thus, the New York Times says: "To send out a lot of women and children with a license, formal or informal, to accost everybody they meet on the street or can corner in homes and offices is a fairly efficient device for extorting small sums of money from more or less reluctant givers, but it cannot be defended in either economics or morality, and its result is much more likely to dry up the springs of charity than to set them flowing more freely. Nothing could possibly be more demoralizing to those who take part in this sort of blackmail, for besides the education in highway beggary and its potentialities as a source of income which it gives them their minds can hardly fail to acquire most incorrect ideas as to philanthropy and social betterment." This is the sober truth, yet we have seen the most prominent, women of a certain city running the streets, tagging the lowest characters. Tom, Dick and Harry, and encouraging the most disgusting familiarities, and, in some instances provoking real insults. We hope that "tag day" will never become a national institution. 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.

Independent It seems strange that such conditions can exist in so enlightened a country as the United States but facts are facts. And the tendency of such occurrences is to contribute to the general contempt for the law which spreads over the entire country and imperiling our very civilization. We spend billions to support schools and churches; but despite all we can do, the moral tone of the people seems to grow worse and worse. The day of recounting must come! The most sensible train of thought concerning the Reno fight comes from the Mayor of Toledo, Ohio: "Some persens talk as if this prize fight and decided the question of supremacy between the black and white races," he said "Why, I would not be surprised if Mr. Johnson could whip Tolstoi. Perhaps he could whip Mr. Roosevelt. And I have no doubt that Mr. Jeffries in his present battered condition could defeat Bocker T. Washington." "The Supreme court decision that Chicago has power to regulate bakeries and fix the weight of a leaf of bread is satisfactory." It is more than satisfactory; it is a grand thing and a court can do nothing better than in using its power to protect those who need protection—the poor and ignorant. That is the most important function of any court, but it is not often carried out. M. P. R.

Ample accommodations are being arranged. Those planning to be present are urgently requested to send notice of such intention to Mr. B. F. Thomas, 213 West 53d street, New York city, or to Mr. Fred R. Moore, Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, 247 W. 46th street, New York city. On the social side, every possible arrangement for pleasure of the delegates will be provided. On Friday evening, August 19, at 7 o'clock, a banquet and reception will be tendered the delegates at Grand Central Palace, Lexington avenue and 43d street. Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, Transportation Agent, 934 S street N. W., Washington, D. C., will co-operate in any way possible with city or state delegations in making transportation arrangements. Mr. Adams has already secured a rate of a fare and three-fifths for the round trip on the certificate plan, from the Trunk Line Association, the Central Passenger Association and the Southeastern Passenger Association, which include the most important parts of the country from which the larger part of the delegates come. Especial attention is directed, however, to the low rates which are granted each year for the month of August for tourists going to New York. Delegates are especially urged to inform themselves of the offerings in their territory. Further information, if desired, may be secured from: Booker T. Washington, President Tuskegee Institute, Ala. Tuskegee Institute, Ala. C. Napier, Chairman, Executive Committee, Napier Court, Nashville, Tennessee. Emmett J. Scott, Corresponding Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. The main argument now used against state-wide prohibition laws is that they do not prohibit. It is an argument not invented by the liquor interests and used by them exclusive ABRAHAM A Committee of Fifty Is Considering Memorial in W ly, but is the conclusion arrived at by many disinterested observers. The Indianapolis News gives the following summary of results: "Just now Greene county is much disturbed over these conditions. The clubs are comparatively numerous and positively successful. It is said that practically any discreet person can get a drink in them—presumably on a visitor's ticket or some such liberal arrangement. The Jasonville neighborhood is said to consume a carload of beer a day, and Linton takes from forty to sixty cases. Naturally, there is more or less drunkenness, which is far from satisfactory to the good citizens of a county that voted "dry" by a majority of nearly 3,000, as "Greene did." Similar accounts come from so many other quarters that it would require a vast amount of reliable testimony to controvert them. In consequence it is very easy to see that the prohibition wave is receding very rapidly; it has been demonstrated that state-wide prohibition is a failure THE APPEAL never endorsed the movement, as it was easy to see that prejudice against the Afro-American fully accounted for its popularity in the South. 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 sing- --- ing "Onward, Christian Soldiers!" Only three Afro-Americans were in the procession, the District of Columbia and Virginia would not permit colored American" Christians in the parade. 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. 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 LINCOLN the Advisability of Building a Lincoln washington City. 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. "SAME AS WHITE FOLKS." During the recent trial of Will Coleman, an Afro-American, at Greenville, Miss., a mob of women of the same race thronged the court room and begged the judge to give him up to them. They wanted to do him up "same as white folks." The judge declined to grant the request. Our Caucasian friends would do well to note the desire of these women to act "same as white folks." There is a good deal in it. A great number of the crimes of the Afro-Americans in the South is due to the desire of the Afro-American to do the "same as the white folks." The statement that Jack Johnson intends to invest $168,000 in United States bonds shows that the champion has some correct ideas on some some other matters besides militism. Charles D. Norton, Secretary to the President, is a great success in his new place. He has tact and skill and succeeds in pleasing all who have business with the Chief Executive. ```markdown ``` An unseasonal Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education.

DURMENT, Republican Candidate for Renomination for Senator 36th District. Senator Durment is a candidate for renomination as State Senator from the District which he has so ably and well represented during the last four years. He has lived in the district for twenty-five years, having come into it as a young man twenty-five years ago. In that time he has grown to be a leading citizen and one of the leading lawyers in the state of Minnesota, and he is a mathew, not only for his ability as a lawyer, but his honesty, independence and fairness. At different times during his residence in this city he has exhibited in a signal manner that he is not only independent and fearless, but really is imbued with the true American spirit, which is that the citizenship and rights of the people are the same, of whatever race, creed, color or condition they may be. If ability, fitness, honesty and previous good public service count for anything, he will easily be renominated. AL. P. ERICKSON Al. P. Erickson was born in Chicago, Ill., in 1866, and came to Minneapolis in 1874 and has resided here ever since. He entered the County Auditor's office in 1893 and has worked up through various positions in the office to the position of Chief Deputy, which position he has held for the past six years. His friends say that if there is any merit in civil service he has earned his right to promotion, and that his long experience in the office will make him a valuable man for the place. Don't fail to vote for him at the primaries. SUMMER FESTIVAL And now comes the great SUMER FESTIVAL to be given by Past Masters' Council No. 123 and Mars Lodge No. 2202 G. U. O. of F.

THE DATE FIXED For the Appeal's Quarto-Centennial Celebration for Sept. 12. The Committee of Management for THF APPPEAL'S Quarto-Centennial Celebration has fixed the date for the same for Monday evening, September 12th. No special invitations will be issued, but the good citizens may obtain tickets of admission from any of the gentlemen in the list of Patrons. The price of tickets has been fixed at One Dollar each. It is with much satisfaction and pleasure that the announcement is made that the magnificent new Junior Pioneer's Hall, cor. of West Ninth and Exchange streets, has been secured in which to hold the QUARTO-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION of the ATPEA PEAL. This is a hall (or rather a building, for the whole building will be used), which we have have had a hall there, or have we ever had a hall there, or have we evermates this excerpt when the reception to the Minnesota graduates was held in the United Commercial Travelers, or old Elks' hall, over Field & Schlick's store; and which was generally conceded by those who were there, to have been the swellest local social function ever held in St. Paul. The coming QUARTO-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION is to follow along the same general lines of the graduates' reception and as in some respects the accommodations and appointments and as the time of the graduation and as the number that will attend is expected to be much larger there is little, if any, doubt that that magnificent entertainment will be far surpassed, as it is the general concensus of opinion that the coming affair must be a full dress one. Just go by the corner of Ninth and go by the next time you are in that neighborhood and take a look at the magnificent building with its large granite pillars and broad stone steps and the outside will give you an idea of home and begin to get ready to participate (if you are to be so fortunate) in the most recherche social function ever witnessed in St. Paul. M. St. James Church. What a climax to the closing of this conference year, which ends on Sept. 25. The largest crowds and the greatest interest of the five years are now about the church. The choir is augmented each Sunday by some fine soloist. It will be no reflection on those who have appeared in St. James in past few Sundays to say that the greatest treat of the season will be on for this Sunday, when Madam Rose Lee Tyler will sing "The Soul's Awakening," as an offerory. Madam Tyler is the only Afro-American woman who is employed by the Midland Lyceum of Cleveland, Ohio. She joins years the finest choir in Chicago, in Bethlehem. She has spent some time in Europe. She is en route to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where she fills an engagement. You had better come early if you want to get inside of the church, saying nothing about getting a seat.

Mr. Editor: While in a reminiscent mood, recently, I was reminded that THE APPEAL was started in the year 1885 and therefore will pass the 25th milestone of its existence this year. What a number of interesting events have taken place during these twenty-five years, what wonderful advancements have been made by the Afro-American citizens of the Twin Cities in all lines of life! And as I was one of its early promoters and know much of its history, I believe it is no small thing for a newspaper to live for a quarter of a century under the eagle's wing. THE APPEAL, and it seems to me that some sort of celebration of the event would be eminently fit and proper, and I also believe that the citizens of the Twin Cities whom you have served so faithfully and well would gladly join in making the event one long to be remembered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APPEALB be published containing a chronological history of the events that have transpired during its existence, cuts and sketches of prominent men and women, cuts of the beautiful homes that so many have become the happy possessors of, and numerous other matters of interest that would make such an edition a most valuable one for us all. Then as a grand finale a public testimonial celebration in some large hall on the anniversary day of THE APPEALS' bith or such other day that in your judgment is more suitable, in which all may take a part in making the event one of the largest ever held here. I would suggest, if the idea meets your approval, that you select a number of persons to act as a committee to carry out such plans as I have advanced or as you may deem most adviable. Very truly yours. Replying to your letter above, I beg leave to state that I heartily concern in all you say, and from the expressions which have come to me during the past week I believe that the Quarto Centennial celebration of THE APPEAL can be made a great event if the people will only take hold of it in the right spirit. The suggestions which you made as to the souvenir edition and grand final public testimonial cannot well be improved upon, but as it will require some time to carry them out properly I cannot, now, select a date for the same, but will do so later on, and in the meanwhile will proceed to select a committee, etc., to carry out the admirable suggestions you have made. Very respectfully, J. Q. Adams, Editor. My Dear Mr. Adams: Several weeks ago I read an open letter in THE APPEAL, which suggested a celebration of its 25th anniversary. It is the right thing to do, and I am heartily in favor of it. Having been a reader of your paper ever since it was first published, and a sincere admirer of the tenacity with which you have held on to the life of your journal, supplying a demand no others have been able to fill. I believe it is an obligation the whole community owes you, and that you justly deserve recognition and merit whatever form the occasion may present. I shall be pleased to render any assistance in my power to give. Yours very truly. lone E. Gibbs. Pres. Afro-Amer. W. S. Federation. Very few of the newspapers of our race can show a record of twenty-five years' existence and as THE APPEAL has that distinction we of the Northwest are very proud of it. It is the only paper we have in the state and its Quarte-Centenial celebration is quite in order. Count on me to do all in my power to help make it a great success. For the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL the following committees have been appointed: Committee of Management. T. H. Lyles R. S. Brown R. R. Charleston B. R. Daugherty J. H. Dillingham J.

How a Little Wisdom Came to the Wises The Wise's house looked homelike to the long legged bird that hovered overheard. Favorably impressed, he softly deposited on the steps, his wee burden of blessedness. The Wise's pleasure at the Stork's thoughtfulness was tempered by Mrs. Wise's following illness and her inability to provide nourishment for the Blessing. It looked as tho the precious gift might be taken away. Wise's doctor saved the day. He said "DIGESTO." Mrs. Wise became healthy and rosy and the Blessing became healthy and rosy. One more credit mark for DIGESTO. It is a necessity before and after the Stork's visit. For Sale by All Druggists MANUFACTURED BY THEO. HAMM BREWING CO. ST. PAUL, MINN.
