How Coal Owners Sacrifice Coal Workers BY BEN MELLON NLY seven Americans killed." Only seven! Not enough to matter. At least this was the male explanation given in the news dispatches on the eighth of last October for telling so little about the explosion in the Starkville coal mine that men were killed. As for the other forty-eight, they were ignorant foreigners, and apparently did not count. And yet, out of that coal mine was carried THE FARMER'S WEEKLY NEWS over. **INTERNATIONAL SCENES OCCUR AT THE PIT MOUTH** The Polish woman in the lead burst into her cabin, and, seizing a revolver, rushed at her terrified children, but, before she could shoot, her arms were seized from behind. The struggle was short and decisive. One plunge back across the pounded dirt floor and the second woman staggered to one floor and the second woman should be safe to side, panting, with the revolver. Just at that dramatic move late in her hand, her own husband was being carried to the curb. This was a mere incident, almost lost in the stupefaction following a local calamity, But it serves as a meaningful introduction to a splendid example of the kind of occurrence which has doubled the number of men killed in our coal mines in the last ten years. The Burkville mine is an average American coal mine that last annual report before the explosion showed that the mine had cleared $500,000 in the previous year. It was the property was yielding some returns on the investment, but it did not mention the fact that the mine was so dusty a new air-shaft was severely needed. The air-shaft would have cost $1,000,000 and the management decided against it. Unfortunately, there was no one in the state of Colorado to make the company slik it. One-fifth of the year's earnings was too much to make the mine reasonably safe! Result: the two-eyed widows thrown upon the world, and innocent fatherless. They formed an important addition to the year's total from the coal mines of more than seven thousand killed and injured, fifteen hundred widowed, and four thousand children dependent on ignorant and helpless women. Officially these men were killed by an explosion of the coal dust, but they were really killed by greed. It is the same with all mine disasters. You can find volume after volume on the causes, the bottom, and in more than three-fourths of the cases you will find that spirit of "get out the coal, need it, need many men you kill, but get out the coal." As a Governor Dawson of West Virginia once exclaimed asperation: "There are coal companies which have no regard whatever for human life." This explains why there are killed in certain sections of the naturally not unsafe bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania and West Virginia twelve times as many men in comparison to the number employed as in the highly dangerous coal矿es of Belgium. For in this one section in the mining six out of every thousand in 1800, by 1908, the last reliable figures were obtained, the annual death roll had increased to more than twelve. The truth is that men are ruthlessly killed in our coal fields because the coal operators find it less expensive to repair damage than take precautions. The human cost they do not take the trouble to figure because, to them, there is none. To kill miners entails no financial loss. In the Pittsburgh district, even in the big notorious explosions of recent years, the average cost to the operating companies has been less than $50 for every man dead. "You know, the mine operators," an important government official apologized, when the blame was laid at their doors. "It isn't their fault. They are doing all they can." You need only turn to the government's own reports to see the fallacy of such a statement. The increase in mine disasters became so marked about five years ago that it even attracted the attention of the geological survey, more a scientific than a humanitarian organization, and two men, Clarence Hall and Walter Snelling, were detailed to study the situation here and abroad. They found the contrast to be almost unbelievable. It is in these few sentences: In spite of the conditions tending to reduce the percentage of mine workers United States to a low figure, the accidents during the last fifteen years have shown directly contrary results. Considered in regard to the VOL.27.NO.18. NLY killed. On enoous least expla the m the eber f about the mine men for eight rant paren An coal a charred, disfigured body, one of the eight-forty, which lay, twisted from the death pain, in the bright sunshine. "John Dysz, a Pole, some one said, and a woman, who had watched three despairing days, nights, raised her bony fists against the serene, far away sky, and went mad. Turning from the horror before her, she ran shrieking down the mountain side, and another woman, who caught her eyes, abandoned her children in pursuit. The clumsy race turned down the dry canon and in one of those little settlements a mark coal on the world over. The Polish woman They pointed out that the European mines are deep and beset with many dangers we are not troubled with, while our mines are easy and should be safe to work, because the veins are large and thick and run horizontally. And yet they showed where we kill four times as many men as France. This is the our comparatively safe mines of today, but, as they showed, we are now beginning for the first time in the history of coal mining in this country to open veins that are really dangerous. We are on the very threshold of a new and far more hazardous period in coal mining, and, unless we take active measures, we are going to have a series of mine explosions which will appeal us—even if there are no Americans killed. Out of the report they made has grown the Pittsburgh station station of the department of mines, which is now taking up the most serious problem in a occupied electricity. There would be no objection to electricity in the proper conditions, but the difficulty with it at the present time is that the electrical machinery sparks. In gaseous or dusty mine, given the right conditions, and it needs only a spark to kill every man in it. It should be used only in mines where there is no chance of the accumulation of gas; but, in point of fact, it has been adopted most generally by the mine operators of the "gas belt" of Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In all that country there is never any telling where gas will be struck next; and the cutting machines, which work ahead and are most likely to open gas pockets, are operated by electric dynamos which are constantly "at the coal." Formerly it was the rule and in some cases it had to bore ahead and test for gas pockets, with the electric dynamo cutting machines all such precautions are out of the question. The case against electricity, when used for power, is the most serious consideration in the whole of the coal mining situation, because it has made coal production cheaper, and, on that account, no matter how many deaths it causes, it would be extremely difficult to drive it out of the dangerous coal fields. The saving averages about three thousand there is an instance of the lengths to which operators have to deal in order to make a profitable profit. When the dangers from electricity began to be understood, its use was permitted only in mines where open lights were safe. So the operators, to dodge the law, toore out their covered lights and sent men into gaseous mines with firing torches in their hats. Then, until some terrife accident happened, the mine inspectors were silenced. Perhaps we are not to blame the coal operators for deciding the cost of production to the lowest possible point, but when they do so at the present tremendous cost, it is high time they feel the stern hand of permission, they have always been able to prevent the real cause of some of the worst diseases being laid to electricity. A definite cause, in any event, is an abbreviation to them. For, if the blame can be placed on the operating machinery of a mine, it opens the way to damage suits, a contingency the coal operators are adepts at escaping. This whole situation was never better shown in the service disaster at Monogah No. 8, in West Virginia, the longest death in the history of American coal mining. The accident occurred on December 6, 1907, minutes after a trip of fifteen loaded mine cars, liberated by the breaking of an iron coupling pin, had run back twelve hundred feet on an eight per cent. grade, raising a thick cloud of dust and ending by causing a short circuit in the electric current. But, when it came to fixing the cause, electricity was hardly considered, a fact that is particularly noteworthy, as the decision was severely criticized after an engineering journals. Testing THE APPEAL. number of deaths per thousand men employed, the United States occupies a less favorable position than any other of the coal-producing countries, more than three times as many men out of every thousand being killed as in some of the European countries which are much less favored by natural conditions. In regard to deaths per thousand tons of coal the United States not only occupies a position worse than most of the European countries, but it is also showing an increase in the death country is showing a was to blame came out at the hearing, but was ignored. Fire Boss Trader at No. 6, in which the cars ended the run, said that twice there had been runways, and on each occasion fires had been started in the coal dust, but had been extinguished before they spreda. And Blacksmith Jenkins, figuring the time between the passage of the cars and the moment of explosion, showed that between the short circuit and the explosion there had been at least a remarkable coincidence. There were 362 men killed in that disaster, and if the cause had been fixed on electricity, the owners might have been forced to pay $1,800 a man like the owners of the Cherry Hill mine, who faced a public opinion outraged at the thought of men being sealed alive in a burning mine. As it was, they got off by contributing $20,000 to be added to the public relief fund of $149,000. So, instead of $1,800, each man cost only $55.25. Electricity was also not blamed in the case of the Mariana disaster of November 28, 1908, when 154 men host their lives; but after the public interest had been over, the use of electricity was abandoned at the suggestion of the department of mines and compressed. was to blame came out at the hearing, but was ignored. Fire Boss Trader at No. 6, in which the cars ended the run, said that twice before there had been runaways, and on each occasion fires had been started in the coal dust, but had been extinguished before they spreda. And Blacksmith Jenkins, figuring the time between the passage of the cars and the moment of explosion, showed that between the two fires the explosion there had been at least a remarkable distance. There were 362 men killed in that disaster, and, if the cause had been fixed on electricity, the owners might have been forced to pay $1,800 a man, like the owners of the Cherry Hill mine, who faced a public opinion outraged at the thought of men being sealed alive in a burning mine.

In the case of the Mariana disaster of November 28, 1908, when 154 men lost their lives; but after the public interest had blown over, the use of electricity was sh abandoned at the suggestion of the department of mines and compressed air replaced in its stead. This might appear to indicate a guilty knowledge of the real cause. As a matter of fact the owners of the mine, the Pittsburgh-Buffalo Company, had already dawned that all was not right in the Mariana. On August 12, more than two months before the big explosion there was a smaller explosion which resulted in the death of 12 others, and Alderman A. R. Day, of Monquette, before whom the preliminary hearing took place, found that the accident had been due to electricity. William Underwood, foreman in charge of the mine, was arrested on information filed by State Mine Inspector John F. Bell, on a charge of permitting "the use of spark-throwing machinery in that of the mine where only safety lamps are allowed." The Pittsburgh-Buffalo Company repeatedly denied the fact of the accident, but the report of the state department of mines for 1908 contains an account of the accident. Now that the United States government has recognized the danger of electricity, it has taken the position that it would be blocking progress to prevent its use. So it has set about solving the problem in a way that will bring final relief, but this will not prevent the death of thousands of men, who will lose their lives on account of electricity between now and the time when safely devices are invented. It is impossible to fix an exact number, but probably no less than five hundred have come to their death through unsafe electric apparatus in the past year, the length of time the government has been at work on the problem. In March, 1910, the federal department of mines sent word to all manufacturers of electric mining apparatus that H. H. Clark, an engineer, had been placed in charge of the work at the Pittsburg testing station and was ready to stamp the seal of government approval on all electric mining machinery that did not spark; but nine months later he had not yet discovered a single piece of electric apparatus which met the requirements. Just consider that for a moment. Even with all the improvements which have been made to electric apparatus, safety is as far off as ever. But what is to be done? It is objected that you can't stop nine-tenth of the mines from operating until they are made safe. And yet, if they are permitted to shear as at present, they are absolutely certain to come from 2,000 to 5,000 men before safe apparatus is devised and installed. Are those 5,000 lives to be sacrificed? Is nothing to be done meanwhile? Apparently not. If those 5,000 men were in one mine and absolutely not meet death there unless the electric apparatus was in situation would be dramatic, public opinion would be acused, and something quite effective would be done. The real need is no less insistent. If then, it would not be absurd to demand immediate action in the one case, it is not in the other. But, it is objected again, it would interfere with business, it would be too expensive, impossible. Money, then, has more rights than humanity. Money must be saved at any cost to men. And these 5,000 must die because it would be too expensive to save them. In Colorado they are beginning to see the light. A whole series of horrible disasters has forced it on them. The coroner's jury that investigated the Starkville explosion found it had been due to electricity, and a commission appointed by the governor strongly urged on the legislature this spring absolutely to forbid the use of electricity in mines, regardless of the cost. Having no power to enforce the use of safety apparatus, the department of mines is bearing its mining imbecility on moral saasion. With the help of mining lawmen and new state laws it hopes to get results. Eventually, it has reason to believe, it will be successful. It is doing a similar work in respect to explosives. Defective Page PLAN AERIAL LINE To Run Express From Boston to Washington. Airships Which Will Make Long Runs Are to Carry at Least 20 Persons and Will Keep Regular Schedule. Boston—Charles I. Glidden, donor of the Glidden tour automobile trophy, is at work in the east on a new project. He is seeking landing sites for stations of the aerial passenger line that the Boston Aerial Navigation company purposes establishing throughout the east within the next two years and is examining Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore. He has already decided upon sites in Worcester, Springfield, New Haven and Bridgeport. Mr. Glidden is president of the Boston Aerial Navigation company. He is a firm believer in the practicability of carrying passengers in great aeroplanes, and he thinks the time has come for commercial airships. He is positive that in the next ten years railroads will become back numbers as far as travelers and the mails are concerned. "We stand ready," said Mr. Glidden, "to buy and start with anything that can carry 20 passengers, and I expect to see the first aerial fleet launched by the year 1912. The company will begin with a route to Boston to Washington. It has already laid out the way from Boston to New York. Steps are to be made at all of the larger cities. I have looked over the ground in New York The Aerial Express. and virtually picked the site for our main station there. "All we are waiting for now is the reports of engineers upon various types of aeroplanes. The recent flights in France by an aviator who carried 12 passengers shows what aeroplanes can do. "Personally I am banking on aerplanes, for I believe heavier-than-air machines will be the mode of travel in the future. I am not impressed with the qualities of dirigibles, although I have one engineer in Germany studying with Count Zeppelin in Paris. Mr. Glidden says the airship line will follow the railroad tracks in their inter-city flights wherever possible. TROUSERS TAKEN ON "TICK" St. Louis Man Gives Away Wearing Apparel and Then Wants Police to Find His Timepiece. St. Louis.—Robert Newman, of 1414 Washington avenue, telephoned to police headquarters: "I want to you find my trousers," he said. "Did you look under the mattress?" asked the telephone clerk in the chief's office. "No," said Newman. Then, talking very fast, he added something which the operator didn't catch. "Give me the description," he said. "All right," replied Newman. "The number on the case is 5574699 and the number on the works is 5133. 475." "What are you talking about, anyway?" "My watch." "I thought it was your trousers." "Yes, the watch was in the trousers pocket. A beggar called here and asked me to give him a pair of trousers. I did. After he was gone I discovered I gave him the one with my watch in them. Find that begar, will you?" "Sure," said the operator. "Well run him down." New Carpets Heat Rooms. Paris - Electric carpets for heating rooms are, according to La Liberta, shortly to come into fashion in Paris. The under side of the new carpets consists of a network of steel wires, forming a contact, and insuring that the current shall be equally distributed in all directions. It is said that the current of heating will be less than that of a system. It is estimated that a room fitted with one of the new electric carpets can be heated at a total cost of 1 cent an hour. MORMON HOME IN A CLIFF Unique Dwelling Place of Family of Mormons in the State of Nevada. Reno, Nevada—The state of Utah does not, by any means, contain all of the people who are known as Mormons. As time has flown since the far-away days when Brigham Young first established the church at Salt Lake City, the Mormons have become more or less scattered. Especially is this the case in the Pacific coast states. Outside of Utah, perhaps Idaho contains more of the Latter Day Saints than any of the extreme western states. Nevada comes next to Idaho in regard to the numbers of Mormon set. Mormon Patriarch and Wives. Iters, and Arizona is, perhaps, the third state in line. There are several colonies of these people located in the extreme southern part of Nevada. The accompanying illustration shows a Mormon family that is living here. On the extreme left of the group may be seen the patriarchal head of the family; then comes the three wives sandwiched between off-spring. The two younger looking men are older sons. These people live in a very rude and poorly looking abode—in fact, a sort of rocky dwelling in front of which stands a large hag that is supported by stout wooden posts. Yield with all these rude and semi-squared environments, this family seems contented and happy with their humble and lowly lot in life. UNDER A PULLMAN 29 HOURS Carl Ruhno, Who Started on 50-Mile Journey, Locked in Storage Box by Inspector. Kansas City.—When the Golden State Limited to Chicago pulled into the Union depot recently, "Hal" Cooper, the Rock Island pilot, heard a knocking proceeding from one of the storage boxes underneath a Pullman car. He opened the box and was astonished to see the body of a boy huddled up inside, with a broken water bottle beside him. The boy, who appeared to about 10 years old, told the pilot that he had climbed into the box at El Paso, Tex., and had intended to remain there for a ride of about fifty miles. At the next stop, however, a train inspector shot the bots, fastening the lid of the box, and the boy remained a prisoner twen- Storage Box Where Boy Rode. ty nine hours, the time the Golden State Limited takes to travel the 93 miles from El Paso to Kansas City. He had a bottle of water, but no food. The box in which he rode was about six feet square and eighteen inches deep. "My name is Carl Ruhno," said the boy, after a meal on Union avenue. "I worked in El Paso in the iron works. When I got paid off I determined to get work on a ranch. I thought I could 'bum' my way, so I crawled in that box. I was compelled to lie in the same position all the time, but I slept part of the time. HER FLAT DAYS ARE ENDED Hettie Green to Move From Hoboken to New York Hotel in May—To Reside With Son. New York—More high life for Hettie Green. The little flat in Hoboken was closed on May 1, and Mrs. Green, it is understood, will reside with her son, Col. Edward H. Green, at the Walderd. No one will undertake to say how long Mrs. Green will remain at the Walderd. For there were predictions when she moved into the Plaza a little over a year ago that she had thrown economy to the winds. She had done nothing of the kind. High life palled on her and she went back. But Colonel Green is a hearty man, who can't be held under a bushel nor in a Hoboken flat, and he insisted on moving to New York. Life already Mrs. Green has spent several days at the Walderd with her son and she seemed to like the life there. $2.40 PER YEAR IS WONDROUS PLACE IS WONDROUS PLACE Famous Mammoth Cave Reveals Some New Wonders. "Violet City," Discovered in Recent Explorations, is So Called From Violet Tint of Walls Reflected by Lights of Guides. Louisville, Ky—Recent exploration has revealed new wonders in the famous Mammoth cave of Kentucky, among which is a beautiful "Violet City," and it is confidently expected that further exploration now in progress will result in many discoveries of new wonders in this underground world of mystery. The "Violet City" is so called from the beautiful violet tint of the walls reflecting the glimmering light carried by the guides. The bridal altar is another feature which attracts much attention and before it a number of marriages have taken place. The cave, which is situated in Edmondson county, Central Kentucky, near Green river, has been one of the world's marvels ever since its discovery in 1869 by a hunter who, according to tradition, pursued a wounded bear into the yawning mouth of the cavern. Since that time it has been the mecca for tourists from all parts of the world. The early history of the cave is largely concerned with the history of the manufacture of gunpowder. This great industry was inaugurated in Kentucky, early in the nineteenth century, and the War of 1812, with its embargo on foreign commerce, greatly increased the importance of Mammoth cave, as a center whence this all-important product might be produced. Vast quantities of soil, charged with lime nitrate, were found and mined; and Philadelphia and Lexington capitalists controlled the cavern, and its exploration went on with a view to securing, for practical Marriage Ceremony at Bridal Altar. business purposes, its vast mineral wealth. Fortunately, the war with England soon ended, and Mammoth cave was saved. Echo river is a feature of the cave that especially attracts the scientist. The cave is in five tiers or stories, and at the lowest of these the river is reached. It is about 270 feet below the surface of the earth, and comes no one knows whence, and goes—no one knows where. Only a small portion of the river is accessible to visitors, and that only during the dry season. During the heavy rains of spring and autumn, this mysterious stream fills to the top of the great River Hike out the Dead Sea and the River Echo, where it is part of this underground stream. It is possible, under favorable conditions, to traverse it for a half mile in the flat-bottomed boats, which ply on its surface. The acoustic properties of the walls rising from it, and arching above it, are well-nigh perfect, and its wonderful echoes are an unfailing source of amusement to the merry travelers that cross it, in constant wonder at its teeming horde of sightless fishes, crustaceans, leeches, beetles and crickets. What need of even rudimentary eyes for those creatures, doomed to dwell in perpetual night? HOW UGLY MEN WIN BEAUTIES Canadian Lecturer Ascribes Peculiar Choice Often Made by Girls as "Blind Psychic Impulse." Chicago.—Several Chicagoans have found out why it is that so many beautiful women marry ugly men. They had noticed this fact before, but it was the announcement of Dr H. F. Cameron of McGill University, who cleared up the mystery in a lecture to the class in sociology at the University of Chicago. The real reason is what Dr. Cameron on describes as "blind psychic impulse." But, he says, in spite of the blindness of said impulse, it often strikes the right trail to a fat bank account, or a lucid, sharp sense of humor, or manners and good breeding, which compensates for the more physical like skinny boy men. "People like J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, as well as gentlemen of blue blood," were among those whom Dr. Cameron in his lecture as having overcome the handicap of slight personal pulchritude in their race for the girls of their choice.

Schurman of Cornell University has decided that there shall be no color line at that institution. That was made clear when a letter written by him to Mrs. Gertrude A. Martin, adviser of women of the university, was given out. Dr. Schurman makes it clear that there can be no discrimination at Cornell on any ground, and that Afro-American girls have as much right in any of the university buildings as other persons. This means that they may room in Sage College, the woman's dormitory, which is a university building. Thus the two Afro-American women who have been trying to get into Sage College for a year or more have won their fight, and the 269 Co-eds, who have sought by petition to keep them out, have lost.

He writes that he has received two petitions on the subject. "One of these petitions," he says, "signed by 269 women students, begged that we deny the application for admission which you have recently received from two Afro-American women students; the other petition signed by 39 women students, objected to this discrimination." Dr. Schurman continues: "Afro-American students have resided in Sage College in the past, and I do not see any good reason why that policy should be changed. At Cornell all university doors must remain open to all students, irrespective of race or color, or creed or social standing, or pecuniary condition. The last Afro-American woman student who resided in Sage College writes me that she was politely and considerately treated by the women students, and that these years of residence in Sage College were the happiest of her life. "Though I am compelled to deny the petition of the 269 women students, I have not a particle of doubt that they will make the lives of the two incoming students equally happy." The two Afro-American students who applied unsuccessfully last year, and whose renewed applications forced the issue this year, are Rose Vassar, of Lynchburg, Va., and Pauline Ray, of Geneva. THE APPEAL is glad that in spite of the many clouds which hang over the pathway of the race, that there is an occasional rift through which we may see the dawn of a brighter day. "GLORIA IN EXCELSIS." A Baltimore paper had a long editorial with the above heading in the Palm Sunday issue and among other things was the following para- graph: Jesus Christ came preaching the Kingdom of Heaven among men. He came to set up His government with the Ten Commandments as the pillars of the temple of justice. He came to set forth the magua charta of the world's hope in the beatitudes. He came to establish the Golden Rule as the principle to govern the relations of men. There is one mortal enemy whose domination over the hearts of men must yet be broken. The perfect love that casts out all fear yet has sway. As long as men are fearful they will be unbelieving, as long as they are subject to fear they will lack spiritual force and courage. As long as timidity preys upon them they will not have the spirit of Him who entered Jerusalem saluted by song that He might pass into the shadows of Gethsemane overborne by sorrow. Hence, it is that the things eternal in human life, in human hope, in human character are the things that are brought forth by Jesus Christ to dominate men in their personal lives, in their domestic relations, in their civic associations, in their religious purposes. The high glory, of Palm Sunday is the chief honor of the church. The church has no cause for being save as the temple of safety and salvation, of succor and blessing." In view of the conditions which exist in Baltimore it seems a mockery for the paper to print such matter. Jesus Christ has never been able to get into Baltimore, the Golden Rule has no place in the ethics of the inhabitants of that city reeking with injustice, inhumanity and brutal race prejudice. The things brought forth by Jesus Christ do not dominate the men of Baltimore in their personal lives or their civic associations and that is proved by the infamous segregation law just enacted by the city fathers of Maryland's metropolis. LINCOLN'S. FRIEND SAVED. Forty-seven years ago Abraham Lincoln wrote a personal letter to the postmaster general asking him to employ Miss Susan Dugger, a young woman of Carlinville, Ill., who was the sole support of her brother, a union soldier, crippled at Shiloh. Miss Dugger got a position and preserved the letter religiously. Secretary MacVeagh after reading the same letter a few day's ago ordered that Miss Dugger's name be kept on the treasury's list of employees, though she has been ill for more than a year. When an employee has been absent without pay that length of time it is customary to strike the name from the roll. Senator Cullom showed the letter to Secretary MacVeagh, who promised that Miss Dugger may have her old position, if she is ever able to work again. She is now 70 years old. She is an expert in detecting counterfeit money. One Rev. Gray, who has recently returned from Panama, speaks of the "wonderful work of Christianizing the Panamans, Chinese and Negroes." If the work being done there is Christian, the writer prefers to be a heathen. THE APPEAL has in its possession a little pamphlet which states in plain English that only "white" people are admitted to the Y. M. C. A. Many semi-public organizations in the United States draw the line on the brother in black, but the writer has never seen a booklet stating the fact in plain words. Dr. W. Ward Platt, of Philadelphia, is very anxious to convert the Asiatic people living on the Pacific coast to Christianity. Judging by newspaper reports, it would seem that the Caucasians themselves need to be converted to true Christianity. The Asiatic are behaving themselves, making money, educating their children and conducting themselves with more propriety than the white heathen, who endeavor to oppress them. Editor Armand Capdevillo of the Bee and Editor J. G. Debarow-Celli of the Wasp, two French papers published in New Orleans, met on the streets of that city and indulged in a fist fight. Both received black eyes and of course under the Louisiana law which permits Caucasians to do as they please and punishes only Afro-Americans for their infractions of the law, the contestants were allowed to go free. The southern papers are full of a lot of stuff about Mrs. Washington, wife of the famous educator, having been "smugged through from Paris, Texas, to Memphis, Tenn., in a drawing room of a Pullman car." That it is necessary for an intelligent, refined and cultured lady as Mrs. Washington to be "smugged through" is a sad commentary on the barbarous laws of an alleged Christian land. In his address to the Oberlin Association of Illinois, at Chicago recently, President Henry Churchill King, of Oberlin College, said that the college graduate of to-day must rise above mere race prejudice and be prepared for far-sighted, unselfish and reverent leadership—Amen! Tuskegee Commencement. Tuskegee, Alabama, May 1. The annual commencement exercises of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, will begin on Sunday, May 21st, with the delivery of the commencement sermon, by Bishop John C. Kilgo, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. These exercises promise to eclipse, in point of attendance and interest, that of any previous commencement at the institution. The seventeenth anniversary exercises of the Phels Pallis Bible Training School will be held Monday, May 22nd, at 7:30 o'clock p. m., in the Institute Chapel. One of the most interesting events of commencement week is that of the Trinity Church Boston Prize Contest, which takes place on Tuesday, May 23rd, in the Institute Chapel at 7:30 p. m. The special commencement day exercises on Thursday, May 25th, will begin at 10:30 a. m., after drill by the entire battalion, and a second session in the afternoon at 2:00 p. m.; concluding with the delivery of the annual commencement address by Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. Among the graduates on the program will be Julius Freeman, of Wilson, N. C., and Acle Jones, of Thomasville, Ga., the valedictorian and salutatorian, who will speak on industrial, as well as on academic, subjects. There will also be panoramic display of the trades, illustrating the work as actually carried on in the different shops and divisions of the school. The various divisions of the school will be in operation during the week and on May twenty-fifth. Visitors and friends of the institution will have ample opportunity to inspect the work of the students. Special arrangements have been made for the accommodation of all visitors, and probably a great many people will take advantage of this opportunity to visit the institution. Open, round trip, reduced visit rates can be secured to reach Tuskegee during commencement. For the convenience of visitors attending this occasion, a special train will be operated from Montgomery to Tuskegee and return, and also from Opelika and intermediate points to Tuskegee, on May 25th. When Is a Caucasian Not a Caucasian? (From the New York Independent.) This is a conundrum which is no joke. It is a very serious matter with many of the first Creole families of Louisiana. To us outside who look on it is absurd amusing, as the antics of those who make fools of themselves always are, no matter how serious to the participants. Louisiana was settled by the French. The French used to have less fear of race admitment than English settlers. Many Creoles, like Cubans, have a dark complexion, and have been suspected of negro blood, which they angrily deny. Louisiana has an elabor terminology for the successive dilutions, from the mulatto and the quadroon downward—or upward—which we printed some weeks ago. When the dilution reaches the sixteenth fraction it is almost indistinguishable, and at the sixty-fourth test can discover it. For all practicable purposes the man is a Caucasian—but not for Louisiana law. Of all States, Louisiana ought to be the last to enact a law forbidding inter-marriage of a white person with any one who has the least infusion of negro blood. There is no knowing where it might hit, for in Louisiana beyond doubt many pass for white in whose genealogy research would discover a few drops of negro blood. Such a case has likely lainted up the State. Th dead girl had a sister happily married to a man of German origin. There was no question that he was a full Caucasian. But he had imbibed the Louisiana prejudice and terror of invisible and infinitesimal nigritude. He discovered—and his wife did—from the newspaper account that she had this bad sinister. He could not continue to live with such a banned woman. Besides, the law forbade it. He was liable to imprisonment for maintaining marital relations with her. He appealed to the court to have his marriage annulled, and the court could be so. So he went and drift with the rest of her family. This case two legal maxims had illustration, one by its truth, "Summa lex, summa injuria," and the other by its extreme contradiction, "De minimis lex non curat." The law does care a great deal for the smallest things. It cares in Louisiana for what is so attenuated as to be invisible. Now such a law and such enforcement is barbarous beyond expression. It puts a suspicion in mutitudes of families. It is against all common sense as against all Christianity. Who knows where, thru personal malice, it may strike next? The story is told in the Sun—very likely so—of a similar case in one of the parishes. A suit for slander was brought for calling a family colored. The sheriff looked up the records and found the charge sustained. As the investigation amused him, he looked farther and found one of his own ancestors recorded as colored—but a fortunate fire soon after destroyed the proof. Now, what should be done? If Louisiana must maintain its infamous law against intermarriage, it should at least set a line where the preemptive regro blood is to be held as washed out. So the police would have one sixteenth, or one-thirty-second, fourth, but at least set it somewhere. If we do not misremember, South Carolina has such a law. It is adding stupidity to cruelty to allow the taint to go on forever. And once more, we advise all white negroes in Louisiana, or anywhere else in the South to change their residence and leave their pedigree behind. There is such a case now in Baltimore, where the doctors can't tell whether a girl is white or black. Let them leave as white people and be received as white people. We do not doubt there are thousands of such people, both North and South, who have, by changing their home, changed their race and color, and changed their cases, and all Creoles. Thus as the process goes on, the conundrum will cease to concern them.

The Lewis-Oliver Players, a dramatic organization of admitted reputation and popularity in the Middle West, will, on Sunday matinee, May 7th, inaugurate at the Grand Opera supplementary spring season, offering a supplementary matrications of popular drama, augmented with a program of new and up-to-date motion pictures. This combination of drama and photo films will be offered at greatly reduced prices, and should record a bargain event in local theatrics. The repertoire of plays to be offered will embrace the works of which will be "Thelma," a dramatization of Marie Corelli's widely read book, and a play of popular favor. The Lewis Oliver Players have been assembled for several years, and have played to successful engagements, some of them extending into many other theatres of the Middle West. Wherever it has peared the organization has met with popular favor and has received flattering comment for the personnel of the company, the excellence of its repertoire of plays and the satisfying quality of its productions. While the department presents motion pictures between the theater and the audience well received. To the great majority of theater goers, drama and particularly that of the popular type, is a favorite style of amusement and equally as popular, is the motion picture entertainment. The motion picture industry has a good quality of drama with the best motion pictures and all at a reasonable price, presents a combination that meets the popular demand and never lacks for enthusiastic support. A remarkable reduction in prices is announced for the supplementary spring season at the Grand Opera House, a series of admission which usually prevails at that playhouse. Nights and Sunday matines, the general prices will be ten, twenty and thirty cents, divided as follows: Gallery, ten cents; balcony, twenty cents; lower floor, thirty cents. A few parquet and box seats, fifty cents. A few balcony and balcony. Valued day and Saturday, the prices will be gallery ten cents; the balcony except few front rows, ten cents; front balcony and lower floor, twenty cents; a few parquet and the box seats, twenty-five cents.

Requesting the Celebration of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of J. Q. Adams' Editorship of the Appeal. St. Paul, Minn., April 24, 1911. Mr. J. Q. Adams, City, My Dear Mr. Adams: As I had the honor, if such it may be denominated, of being the first editor of THE APPEAL, I know that the "Western Appeal," I have watched its course with, perhaps, more interest than that generally evinced by others. Having been so closely connected with its early history, and knowing something of the hardships that surrounded it then, and doubtless do still, I can have put forth in maintaining it and conducting it on the high plane upon which it has always stood, than can those who are not familiar with the business side of it. Since the advent of THE APPEAL there have been a number of publications started in this state under various editors, that passed from the field of action after a difficult existence, but THE APPEAL is still doing business at the old stand. Now, Mr. Editor, as the paper has been in existence since June 1885, and you become associated with it in 1886, this year is the twenty-fifth. You become an editor and manager, and I believe that this fact should entitle you to some special consideration at the hands of the people whom you have served so long and well. Last year, through your efforts, this year marks 100th anniversary of the birth of the writer, in a most fitting manner, and the entertainment and manner edition in connection with that occasion have never been equaled in Minnesota—nor elsewhere, for that matter. Since it was your able management, you have paper, some honor and credit is due and, I am one who delights "to do honor unto those to whom honor is due." And I believe the people of St. Paul, and throughout the state, will join in celebrating your twenty-fifth as editor of THE APPEAL. Your able management of the Quarter-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL last year, was seen and recognized by every one who was present; and, if you, yourself, will take charge of the matter as you did then, I am confident that the public will feel satisfied that can be done will be done to make the occasion a grand success, and that with me the people will willingly say: "Just you go ahead and we'll hold your coat." Very truly yours. F. D. Parker. Minneapolis, Minn., April 25, 1911. J. Q. Adams, Esq. St. Paul, MN. Since the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of last September, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of an unprecedented success, from every point of view; and, is remembered, with pleasure, by every one who had the good fortune to be present on that, never-to-forgotten, occasion, other such an affair would be hailed with delight by all who were present, as well as by those who, for some reason or another, were deprived of such an affair, who would not miss the opportunity if it was again offered to them. I also recall the fact that the twenty-fifth anniversary of your association with THE APPEAL occurs this year; and I feel that this is an event us worthy of being celebrated more so. For, it undoubtedly is owning entirely to your managerial ability and indefatigable labors that THE APPEAL has been enabled to withstand the storms that have wrecked many like ventures upon the rocks of adversity. And it does not matter how much you hitting and proper for the people of the Twin Cities to show a just recognition of the herculean task you have accomplished in maintaining an organ in their interest for a quarter of a century, by tendering you a testimonial on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the paper, or, on such other date that in your judgment is more convenient or suitable. I would therefore suggest, if it meets your approval—as I know it will, the patrons of THE APPEAL and your friends generally—that you proceed to carry out, that you have employed in the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL last year. I have no especial suggestions to make, as the success of last year's affair, as well as many other social functions that have been under your control, to enable you to manage them "to a queen's taste," therefore, I feel sure you would carry this to a successful issue, if left to follow the bent of your own motivation. I am satisfied that I voice the sentiments of the people of Minneapolis. Respectfully yours, R. S. Brown, M. D. By a singular coincidence the letters above, reached the APPEAL of fice this rock. I need to receive such kind words and to be made to feel that we have not lived and labored in vain these many years, and that these people were so well pleased with the Quarto-Centennial of the APPEAL, that would be pleased to hear from any others who desire to express themselves in regard to the proposed celebration of our twenty-fifth anniversary before fully deciding what action to take in the matter. So let hear from the patrons of THE APPEAL. Prices on everything seems to be going up, and the newspaper publisher is among the sufferers. The price for setting type has been advanced ONF.THIRD, therefore a higher price must be charged for advertisements and articles published in the papers. Don't forget this. Dr. H. I.

Tampa, Florida, has more cigar factories than any other city in the country, so to the fact that Afro-Americans in various parts of the country smoke enough cigars of all grades to keep hundreds of cigar makers at work daily, so we organized in 1906, what is known as the WILLIAMS CIGAR COMPANY, and we have been successive in Afro-American cigar factory known. The members of our race must not only be consumers, but producers. We are at present employing from 15 to 20 members of our race in our factory, and we are desirous of appointing in all parts of the country. Our agencies are working with $15 daily. Will you help to maintain an institution which may become a great nucleus of good. We have a department in which we are teaching scores of boys and girls to be efficient cigar makers. Some of our graduates are earning from $10 to $20 per hour in larger factories. Will you help us in this great work of employing our youths? Our prices range from $2.30 per hundred to $6.00 per hundred. We can save you from one cent up on every cigar if you order direct from our factory. The extra amount you are paying our competitors for cigars makes them a sample hundreds of their boys and girls and their palatial homes. We only ask for a portion of your patronage. We are trying to solve this great problem along the lines of self-help. Give us a trial order. Send for our famous R. L. W. Cigars at $3.70 per hundred. Williams Cigar Company. J.

Has anyone any use for 400 wires? If so, the Turkish government would like to get into communication with them. This is the number of women contained in the haram of the former sultan, and the problem of their disposal is becoming a serious one. Most of them are natives of Albania and Arabia, and two distinct efforts have been made to return them to their friends and relatives, but the latter absolutely refuse to receive the women, having, apparently, no further use for them. Under these circumstances, the businesses at Constantinople are in something subsidiary, since the cost of their maintenance is a considerable item; and as many of them are quite young girls it would seem as though they will remain a burden on the state for many years to come unless someone or other can be induced to take them over. The situation is a distinctly humorous one, but it is not the form of humor that appeals to the Turkish government, and the cold-blooded suggestion has been brought forward that they should be disposed of summarily, with small chance of this awful suggestion succeeding. The women, however, owing to the firm attitude of the foreign ambassadors at Constantinople, who insist that the women shall be treated with due respect and consideration—Modern Society.

Given a water color box and an outfit of stencil dyes and the faded colors of the wardrobe and household generally may be restored by an amateur. One woman who was mourning over the fading of the pretty blue and and white bathroom rag rugs which she had made a year or so ago, to match her bathroom bethought herself of her stencil dyes. She mixed them to the exact shade and with a brush applied the dye to the faded portions with the most satisfactory results. Another woman who found the roses of her new hat showing the effects of the sun applied her water color brush with telling results. And in the same family a girl with a faded last year's hat has dressed it with the liquid which the notion counters carry, and as the outcome of her effort she has a hat as good as new, and, if the bottle reads truly, as lasting. Energy and a knack find many uses for these ready-to-use paints, dyes and stains. For Easy Pronunciation. For Easy Pronunciation. "A correspondent of the London Times, convinced that we cannot go on indefinitely talking about 'aviators' or 'aeronauts', suggests 'alarm', on the analogy of seamen." No doubt it will come to that, or to 'filers', or something as simple, in the end. But what about 'aeroplane?' No vehicle can keep more than a fragment of its name when once it becomes familiar. The monosyllable serenely has it—'bus', 'tram', 'cab', 'van', 'taxi'; 'hanson' and 'growler' have their two syllables, but very easy ones. It seems an absolute certainly that the flying machine will become simply the 'plane.' The Fee "I'm a little bit worried about the way my husband spends his evenings," said the lady from Illinois.
