The Appeal

The Movement for a Safe and Sane Fourth 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. 27. NO. 26. I T is safe to say that no moral crusade ever in augurated in this country has made more rapid progress than the movement for "a safe and sane Fourth." It is only a few years since the idea was first suggested in its present tangible and yet dozens of cities and towns have already adopted it in its most conciliative form, while countless others have accepted a portion of the creed, and yet others are planning to fall into line this year. It affords the most conclusive evidence of the power of public opinion that in practically every community where the safe and sane crusade has taken root no official action has been taken nor recommended by the municipal authorities until public sentiment spurred them to it. What individual deserves credit for first conceiving the idea of a safe and sane Fourth, and what town or city may lay claim to first putting the idea in practice, presents almost as mooted a question as the one who first suggested the name of William McInley for the presidency. Several different persons and several different cities have laid claim to the title of originator of the innovation. Perhaps it would be most just to con- code that the plan took shape spontaneously and simultaneously in several different localities, such communities as Cleveland and Washington, D. C., being among the first of the larger cities to put the plan in practice on a comprehensive scale, embracing the whole jurisdiction of the city. The incentive for this safe and sane movement was found, of course, in the appalling loss of life attendant upon celebrations of the Fourth in the old-fashioned way. Perhaps there were just as many accidents proportionately in connection with Independence Day celebrations in the days of our grandfathers as there were just prior to this crusade, but then again there may be more. The toy pistol makers and firecracker manufacturers were in later years devising "improvements" in the meandering line that seemed to prove fruitful of mischief when in the hands of irresponsible youngsters. Or even if, as opponents of the safe and sane Fourth have claimed, the proportion of accidents did not show an increase the growth in the population of the country served to roll up a total so much that more appalling in sheer force of figures that a good many people were aroused on the subject. Then, too, the perfection of present-day methods of newsgathering has made it possible that the newspapers to give a complete chronicle of the course of old-fashioned Fourth on the morning following the celebrate, and this has served to bring home the matter to many people who never suffered from a Fourth of July accident in their own immediate family and circle of friends. When the statistics began to show, a few years back, that the American people were expressing their patriotism on the Fourth in a manner that each year cost the lives of several dozen persons and injured, more or less seriously, several thousand others, there was a country-wide protest that swelled in volume. Not, of course, without some opposition, the idea has spread and its effect may be surmised from the statement that the cost of one of the largest fireworks manufacturers in the country was said to be due solely to this man-made wounds, whereas other importers and manufacturers of fireworkers and fireworks have loudly lamented that their business will be ruined if the thing goes on. The "safe and sane Fourth" is so new that there are few hard and fast rules regarding it. Indeed, a conception of the idea, differing in more or less degree, is encountered in every different city which has adopted the plan. The basic principle is not, however, as some people suppose, the abolition of all noise and fireworks of the safe and ample program favor waving flags and booming guns and the standing sky rockets on the other flairs to memorize of our childhood, but they take the stand that things should be managed—and particularly the fireworks "set off"—by experienced hands, instead of by children and grownups who have THE APPEAL.

Some cities have gone so far as to prohibit absolutely the sale of firecrackers and fireworks, while others merely limit firecrackers to length of three inches with a view to eliminating the deadly "cannon cracker." All the more progressive municipalities have put a ban on the toy pistols and the miniature torpedoes, which years gone by have prohibited, and the other time the destructive agent, particularly among the younger children. In our up-to-date cities it has been necessary for some years past for a retail merchant to obtain a license or police permit to store and sell fireworks, and thus it has been a simple matter for the authorities to put a snuffer on the business by refusing to issue such permits. The accepted plan of providing a safe and sane celebration as a substitute for the old-time noisy free-for-all jollification is to place the matter in the hands of a volunteer, which raises by subscription a fund of seven, hundred or several thousand dollars, to defray the expenses of the common celebration, just as money is raised for a street fair. The popular idea is to centralize the new-fangled Fourth of July celebration. In some places this is done literally by holding all the events of the day at some centrally-located rendezvous such as a public square, a fair ground or a park. In other instances there are three or four, or maybe half the events of the day, held in as many different sections of the city and designed to give the residents of each district a lively Fourth without necessitating a journey far from home. Two main aims are constantly kept in mind by wide-awake committees who plan a Fourth of July frolic in accordance with the safe and sane ideals of the twentieth century. One of these ambitions is to have "something doing" every minute of the day so that no critic can say that things are less lively in the old town than in the days when every citizen could make his own celebration in his own front yard. The other purpose of these features that will enlist the co-operation of the number of children so that the little folks will not harm them are being cheated out of their Fourth of July and made to merely serve as spectators for the performances of the grown-ups. cup-ups. why it is that includes one or three or drills in and even kingly dressed in flags or other These open to the young-ugh.

This latter consideration explains why it is that the average safe and sane Fourth includes one or more open-air plays or spectacles or drills in which hundreds of school children and even kindergartners take part, appropriately dressed in red, white and blue, and carrying flags or other suitable emblems of the occasion. These open-air fetes are not wholly restricted to the younger members of the community, though. Pageantry members are highly in popular favor in this country of recent years, especially in England and elsewhere abroad—and of course the Fourth of July makes an ideal occasion for such a portrayal, particularly *M* it deals with a historical subject. Defective Page Many of the features of the safe and sane Fourth are old friends familiar to us from the Independence Days of the past. For instance, there is the early morning salute of cannon and the "exercises," embracing the reading of the Declaration of Independence by some local orator and an "address of the day" by some celebrity brought to town for the occasion. Even the firemen's contests and hose races still have honored places on many of the programs, and so, too, have the time-honored balloon ascendances, although more likely than not the once-popular parachute jump has now been succeeded by an airplane flight. Even the "$5,000 display of fireworks" that rounded out the day under the old plan is retained, only now it is considered advantageous to have the rockets and pinwheels and all the other spark throwers set off by professionals sent by the firm that furnishes the display, instead of leaving it to local talent that doesn't get much practice at this sort of thing except on the Fourth and at election time, and in consequence is apt to pay the price of blistered hands and singed hair, if nothing worse. And making of fireworks brings to mind the fact that fireworks play a prominent part in most of these hose races and sane celebrations of the big summer hose races, daylight fireworks are no new invention and has been used to some extent on the Fourth of July for many years past. Only they have been hailed as one of the vehicles of celebration specially adapted to the safe and sane scheme, and the market has been stimulated accordingly while the manufacturers have been encouraged by this new demand to improve their offerings and give greater variety in effects. The approved style of daylight fireworks consists of bombs in the form of large balls, which are shot aloft from mortars just as are the bombs which now have conspicuous place in all pretentious displays of night fireworks. The discharge of the gun from which the bomb is hurled skyward in itself affords sufficient noise to satisfy any lover of the old-fashioned Fourth, and when the bomb has attained a considerable height it bursts with a second report and releases a number of tiny flags or streamers of red, white and blue bunting, or mayhap a fanciful design in tissue paper that is inflated by the breeze and in the form of a snake or dragon or what-not floats gracefully to earth to be grasped by some fortunate member of the struggling throng of children whose descent it descent. The time-honored hot air balloon and tissue paper are another stand-by of the safe and ample committeeemen and in connection with an ample date city celebration hundreds of these courtiers are dispatched to the clouds. To lend zest to the flights for the youthful spectators it is sometimes the custom to append packages of "prizes" that drop as the balloon ascends—prizes such as fans or flags or badges or possibly tickets, each "good for one plate of ice cream." AUTHOR OF "MONEY." The author of "Money" held a high opulon of the influence exercised by his works, especially by "Pelham," his first novel, "This book," he writes, "killed Byronism. It put an end to the Satanic mania and turned the thoughts and ambitions of young gentlemen without-neckcloths, and young clerks who were sallow, from playing the Corsair and boasting that they were villains." It certainly drew at least one substantial tribute from a reader. According to Lytton's biographer, "amongst the curiosities at Knebworth is an enormous gold dressing case, elaborately fitted with every conceivable requirement for the toilet of an exquisite, which was an anonymous gift of some enthusiast to 'the young author of Pelham.'"

SOUGHT BY TOURISTS Valley Forge Is Rioh in Historic Association. Whizzing Automobiles Now Bring Groups of Patriotic Sightseers to This Scene of the Revolution's Darkest Days. Philadelphia, Pa.—Through the lovely wooded hills and up and down the valleys which give the name of that historic spot, Valley Forge, the scene of the darkest days of the Revolution, go rushing and whizzing nowadays the hourly automobiles bringing groups of patriotic tourists from all the country. What a change in the spot and in the people since that time when Washington and his suffering heroes camped among these picturequeen hills. What a gap between these foots, discouraged men and the pleasure-seekers whirled in luxury through this great national park. For some eight miles the motor route circles about over the fine park roads, and on every side the natural charms of the beautiful scenery are enhanced by the hostoric associations. Many memorial tablets have been erected, marking where different divisions of the army or various commanders were stationed. Here and there are log cabins, reproductions of the old huts, and standing on the old sites. There are lines of the oldenchants to trace, and much else of the oldmen's affairs, but the automobile is too swift for study of this sort. The Memorial chapel, unfortunately, does not lie on the route taken; it requires, and well deserves, a separate trip. One does, however, pass the old school house, built by Lettia Penn in 1708, which was occupied by the Continental army as a hospital during the winter of 1777-1778. The flag floats over it, and a group of budding citizens, who ought to develop remarkable loyalty educated in such a shrine of liberty, flock out for recess as the motor car passes. But the central point of the trip is, of course, Washington's headquarters. This plain old stone structure is a fine example of the sturdy buildings of Colonial times. In its simplicity and Washington's Headquarters. strength it shames the filmy work of modern contractors. The interior is very interesting. The two main rooms on the ground floor open from the wide panelled hall with ample small-paned windows.

"Grandfather's clock ticks in the corner, and an old gun fills the open fireplace. Across an open passage through which sun and wind have full play, is a wing containing the quaint old kitchen. While this separation of the kitchen from the main body of the house has some advantages, the modern housewife would certainly the unnecessary steps it occasions, and the need for doubtless be at a loss to get a meal the fireplace with its hanging hooks and pots. From the pump room adjoining the kitchen a steep flight of steps descends to an underground passage, only lighted from an opening in the lawn above. The other end of the passage once communicated with the river and thus afforded a means of refuge and escape in case of surprise by the enemy. That end has been closed up, but the curious investigator and thus afforded a means of damp, dark passage, with the tee dangerous days when such a secret way was deemed necessary. The bedrooms on the floor above are very attractive in their qualitiness. They have been furnished by different chapters of the Daughters of the Revolution with sutple antique furniture so they must look very much as they did in the hours when Washington reposited in the big "four-poster," or in the straight-backed chair by the fireplace brooded over the perils of the country. On the third floor, to which one must climb with bended head if a bump is to be avoided, the bedroom is as costly old-fashioned as anything in the house. Much time might be profitably spent in looking over the maps, plans, etc., which hang about the walls of the hall and the main rooms, but the interest of the average tourist in such walk about the lawn and be prefers the house from every view, and view the headquarters in the street down to the Schuylkill river in town with headquarters and people the most with the figures of Washington and its veterans.

THEY BELIEVE IN COMMUNISM Shakera Get Their Name From the Shakers Get Their Name From the 'Violent Contortions Introduced in Their Worship. New York—The Shakers are a body of seceders from the Society of Friends formed by Ann Lee (Mother Ann) of Manchester, England, about 1787, and so called from the wild and violent contortions introduced by them into their form of worship. Their official title is "The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing." The sect emigrated to America in 1772 and settled near Albany in 1774. Their chief seats have been at Mount Lebanon and Water. A Typical Shaker. villet, N. Y. They number 15 societies in the United States and have a membership of about 1,728. The Shakers believe in spiritualism, practice celibacy, and community of goods, oppose war, refrain from oaths and denounce baptism and the Lord's Supper. They are noted for their frugality, integrity and thrift. In Mount Lebanon, their largest community, there are several families made up of 150 persons, including 35 boys and girls. The other societies are made up in about the same ratio as the one at Mount Lebanon. The announcement that they are cinding up their financial affairs in Ohio and New York calls attention to the final failure of one of the longest existing of the many communistic societies that have been eroded in this country. In the years following the American Revolution, more than a score of communistic societies and colonies were established in the United States. Some of them appealed to the sensualities and some of them were plain swindles. The Shakers held out no sensual or financial allurements and it is surprising that they have endured so long, except on the theory that their simplicity in living attracted recruits and made them the sole survivors of all these social experiments. With their passing will close one of the most interesting chapters of social experiments in the history of any country. ANOTHER SACRED CALF BORN This Makes The Fourteenth Which Has Been Named Chicago Zoo Zebu Family. Chicago—Another sacred calf, the fourteenth born to Romeo and Juliet, in the 14 years of their residence at the Lincoln Park zoo, has made its appearance. Hundreds of persons thronged to the zebu's pen to look at the new arrival. "The Lincoln park zoo is getting a reputation as a breeding ground for animals, and we are supplying al- Zebu "Juliet" and Calf. most every zoo in the country with our rare specimens," said Superintendent Cy De Vry. "Only the other day we shipped a two-year-old zebu to the Washington Park Zoological society at Milwaukee. "Although the zebus have the record, the lioness and lion are slowly gaining upon them in raising a family. The lioness, as a rule, gives birth to three at a time, while the sacred cow has only one offspring." The sebu is a native of India, where it is revered by the inhabitants. It is pampered and cared, and to feed it is deemed a meritorious act. The animal is used as a beast of burden and can travel from 30 to 40 miles a day. Horsehoes in Pine Trees Milton, Ind.—In the heart of a pine tree 13 inches in diameter a horsehoe was found by M. E. Hubbell when he cut the tree down. The position of the horsehoe indicates that it was placed around the tree many years ago when it was a sapling and in time had been covered by the growth of the wood. $2.40 PER YEAR. TO BE A STATE PARK TO BE A STATE PARK Illinois to Preserve Grounds of Old Fort Chartres. This Stronghold of the French War 200 Years Ago the Strongest and Most Costly Fort in America. Chester, Ill.—Among the appropriations made by the late Illinois legislature is $5,000 for a state park on the site of old Fort Chartres, near Prairie du Rochel, Ill., 50 miles south of St. Louis and between the Mississippi and the Kaskaskia rivers. In seven years this fort will be 200 years old and at one time it was the strongest and costliest fort in America. Now there is little left except the outline of the stone walls, the powder magazine, and the two large wells inside the garrison designed to furnish a water supply in case of a siege. This fort was first built in 1718, when it was hastily constructed of wood by the French under Commandant Bolsbrant. At that time it was designed for protection of the French in case the Spaniards came up from Santa Fe. A new menace appeared in 1750 when the English became aggressive during the few years preceding the French and Indian war. The English troops were expected to march west the old fort war torn down to make way for one built of stone. This new structure cost about $1,500,000, far more than any other fort in America cost until long after that date. The powder magazine was built of dressed stone and is still in good condition. So are the wells, which were lined with stone. The material was obtained from a quarry four miles away and carried from the quarry to the fort site by boat on a lake that has since disappeared. The dressed stones were all numbered at the qunr- Powder Magazine at Fort Chartres. ry, according to the same system used at this time. In 1723, five years after the original fort was built, Philip Renault came from Bermuda with his slaves and settled near St. Philip, using the fort for a storehouse and a refuge when the Indians seemed hostile. Fort Chartres was the capital of New France until ceded to England in 1763. In 1778 the fort was captured from the English by Gen. George Rogers Clark, commanding troops under a commission from the governor of Virginia. Fort Chartres then became the capital of the great northwest territory, and the seat of government remained there until states were formed from the territory. High water, which occasionally flooded the fort, caused Fort Gage to be built by this. It was followed by the final abandonment of Chartres. When the French ceded New France to the English and the flag of France was hauled down, many residents of the district refused to live under the English and went to St. Louis. Among the families who moved away rather than live under the English flag are several whose descent became very prominent in the commercial and social life of St. Louis. Of the several old forts built in the Illinois Bottoms more than a century ago, the only one that has anything left of the original buildings is Fort Chartres. Under the care of a custodian appointed by the state, the place will be made into a park and preserved from further ruin. HERE IS A "BORN TRADER" Indiana Man Starts Out With $00.00: Has $50 and "Junk" at Night. Hammond, Ind.—President Frank Nelson of the Lowell bank gave Frank Coore an old silver watch in the morning. The watch ran when Coore ran. Coore gave 15 cents to a jeweler to make the watch tick and sold it for $2. With the $2 he bought a sick horse from a farmer. This he traded for an old buggy and two extra wheels. He then traded the two extra wheels for the body of a road car and put his buggy wheels a buggy for a set of tires. For this equity a farmer traded his blind branche. Coore did not know the broncho was blind until it ran away with him. Another farmer, thinking the broncho a spirted animal and not knowing it was blind, gave him $50 for it after Coore had wept and told him he had raised the animal from a colt. Nelson is now ready to match Coore against any other trader. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS. EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS 49 E. 4th Street, St. Paul, Minn. ST. PAUL OFFICE J. Q.

"Those which we style the natural virtues, such as justice, truth, candor, honesty, generosity, the social obligations, etc., form the groundwork both of good citizenship and genuine religion. Without them neither Church nor State can thrive. They are the best bulwarks of democracy. In a community destitute of them, public and official corruption are bound to prosper. Where they flourish strong and vigorous, oppression and graft are foredoomed to speedy death." The foregoing is from the Baltimore Sun, published in that hotbed of injustice, dishonesty and race prejudice. If there is anything needed in that God-forsaken city, it is character. Many of its Caucasian inhabitants, although nominally Christians, spend a lot of their time in devising schemes to humiliate and injure their Afro-American brethren; the segregation law recently enacted being a sample of their efforts in that direction. We trust that the efforts of the Sun to build up character may be successful, in order that the natural virtues may prosper and "oppression be foredoomed to speedy death." CASTE CHRISTIANITY IN AFRICA The alleged Christians in South Africa, who have proved to be experts in drawing the color line politically, have introduced it into the church as the following will show: "One of the clauses of the Dutch Reformed Churches Bill provides that in the United Church colored members of the Cape Church today will not be entitled to membership of the United Church in a neighboring Province. On this vital clause, which at the outset Mr. Louw, who is in charge of the Bill, declared to be an absolute essential to the Union of the Churches in the various Provinces, issue was joined, and a most memorable and dramatic debate resulted. Broadly, the supporters of the clause, prominent among whom was the Prime Minister, defended it on the ground that it followed the principle laid down in the Act of Union. The clause was WILLIAM H.

SHERMAN Vice President of the United States Mate for Taft in 1912—Sherman Afro-Americans of the Country of the "As a Nation our duty compels sonable means the material and edu- ce be advanced.

"As a Nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the Afro-American be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our civilization; their prosperity is our prosperity; their debasement would be our misfortune. "The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment."—James S. Sherman's speech accepting the Republican nomination for Vice President, 1908. denounced with passionate earnestness in notably eloquent speeches by Mr. Merriman, Mr. Quinn, Mr. Theo Schriener, and Sir George Farrar. The clause was defended in a rather notable speech by General Hertzog. The clause was carried on a division by 51 votes to 27. in which he gives the Aryan theory a hard blow. Civilization didn't come from the East, he says, backing up what Prof Sergi of the University of Rome and his followers have declared from time to time.

Cotteral of the United States District Court at Oklahoma City, Okla., has overruled the demur of defendants in the case of the United States against four election officers, holding the "grandfather clause" amendment to the state constitution invalid, because it is in violation of the Fifthteen amendment to the Federal Constitution. The power to grant the right to vote, the Court held, was not given to the Federal Government, but the Fifteenth Amendment decreed that the right to vote should not be denied any person because of "race, color or previous condition of servitude." To make the subjection of certain individuals to the "educational test" dependent on their condition before 1866 would make it dependent on their race and color, the Court held. The "grandfather clause" exempts from the "educational test" those whose ancestors were entitled to vote on January 1, 1866, or were residents of a foreign country. Under this clause Afro-Americans were denied the right to vote. CIVILIZATION CAME FROM AFRICA. Angelo Mosso, a famous Italian author, has written a book on "The Dawn of Mediterranean Civilization," CORVESHIP BY J. C. CRAIG 51102 Secretary of Commerce and Labor Thinks It Will Drive Competent Men From Public Life. In his speech at the commencement exercises at Brown University, Providence, R. L., Hon. Charles Nagel said: "The initiative sounds plausible," said Secretry Nagel. "The basis of the suggestion is that legislative bodies do not respond to the actual demands of the people. I think that if there is a weakness in representative bodies today it is their too ready response to superficial popular demand.

Civilization didn't come from the East, he says, backing up what Prof. Sergi of the University of Rome and his followers have declared from time to time. "We found out things for ourselves and Africa supplied the rest of our knowledge." Not even in Egypt does the new school admit any great Asiatic influence. Before the Pharaohs came—that is, before 3000 B. C.—the customs and beliefs of the dynastic periods were well started. Mosso says naturalists are agreed in admitting the preponderating influence of Africa upon the population of Europe. From Africa man probably pressed to Europe, and in the Stone Age had increased so as to form a considerable population. Certain scientists have for years declared that the fair races have always dominated their darker brethren and civilization came through them alone, so THE APPEAL may be pardoned for expressing great satisfaction at the fail of the ARYAN theory. Herman Bernstein, the author, who has just returned from his annual visit to Russia, states that the plight of the Jews in Russia was never so bad as now, is steadily growing worse and that the world would be amazed if the true condition of the Jew in Russia became known. The centennial anniversary of the independence of Venezuela is being celebrated in Caracas. All of the conditions in the South American republic may not be ideal, but in one respect Venezuela is far ahead of this country -IT HAS NO COLOR LINE. THE CAPITOL A WEEK IN WASHINGTON Washington, June 28—A large delegation of distinguished men who were delegates to the World's Baptist Alliance which has just closed at Philadelphia, came over to Washington Monday and called on President Taft at the White House. They extended to the President, the greetings and good wishes of the convention. There were a number of prominent Afro-Americans among the number. Two Russians, their bodies bearing the insignia of those chains and criss-crossed with scars caused by the heat welded in the hands of agents of the Czar during religious persecutions in Russia and Siberia, who gave up their Greek faith to become followers of the Baptist religion, were also in the delegation. The expression "Applause" after the words "Jesus was born in a manger; John the Baptist fed on locusts and wild honey," in the printed speech of Representative Fowler, of Illinois, a newly elected Democrat, precipitated a personal oblity in the House. Representative Richard L. the public leader of the House accused Mr. Fowler of having inserted all the "Applaues" in the advance copy of the speech. Mr. Mann said he would not have noticed this but for the fact that the word "Applaue" was inserted after the quoted citation. A popular desire throughout the country to participate in President Taft's silver wedding brought to the White House many letters containing pieces of silver money, ranging from a dime to a dollar. The President in courteous letters of regret, has informed the senders in returning their gifts that he would be unable to accept the money, but he appreciates the spirit shown by the writers. A. Piatt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, expressed himself before the convention of Maryland bankers, at Deer Park, MD, as being in national reserve association as a part of the suggested monetary plan. Mr. Andrew stated that the plan of the reserve association was similar to the political government. "It is based," he said, "upon the same Federal, representative, and decentralized outlines which characterize our administration." HON. WILLIAM D. CRUM. Minister Resident and Consul General At Monrovia, Liberia. At a reception given to Rabbis Margolis of New York and Levinthal of Philadelphia in the Washington synagogue all Jews were urged to support Taft for re-election. The resolutions contained the following. "We hold President Taft in the highest esteem as an executive of the highest type, as a patriot and a chief magistrate whose motives are the purest and noblest, and whose principles are tolerant, broadminded, and liberal." Rabbis Margolis, Levinthal and Gordon later made brief addresses, in which they compared the treatment of the Jews by President Taft alongside of that accorded the race by the Czar of all the Russias. "When everything is done abroad to oppress and persecute the Jew," declared Rabbi Levinthal, "in America he is honored and the equal of every other man." Rabbi Silverstone presided and the resolutions were introduced by L. S. Gottleb of this city. In his address to the graduates of the M street High School. Representative Edward L. Taylor of Ohio, told them of the responsibilities in life, and urged them to stand for the progress and the welfare of their race. He was followed by R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of schools, who awarded the prizes and scholarships. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, presided. In a message transmitted to Congress, President Taft scathingly enraged the manufacturers of what he denounced as "dangerous drug frauds," and urged Congress to amend at this session the pure food and drug law to strengthen that act in vital points of weakness recently pointed out by decisions of the United States Supreme Court. The poor and illiterate people of the country, are the greatest sufferers from these nostrums and curealls. A protest against the second investigation of the Lorimer case was presented to the Senate by Vice President Sherman. It embodied resolutions adopted at a mass meeting of friends of Senator Lorimer in Chicago a few days ago. In the resolutions was this statement: "We protest against the malice and hate exhibited by certain Senators in this case and we insist that it would be more becoming to the dignity of the Senate if all Senators should at least appear to be possessed of open and unblased minds and feelings." Prof. J. L. Wilef president of Fessenden Academy, Ocala, Fl., is in the Senate for the Heilian Mission, but found that Minister Furness would be retained. Miss Allie Simms and Miss Hutt both teachers in the public schools of St. Louis passed through the city Sunday enroute for New York where they sailed for Europe Tuesday. Reply to Rev. J. M. Walrdon's Open Letter to President Taft. By Another Correspondent. Washington, June 27, 1911—The open letter of Rev. J. Milton Walrdon, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church of this city, and National Organizer of The National Independent Political League, to President Taft, alleging discrimination against Negro soldiers in the army, has caused your correspondent to make some investigation to ascertain the truth or falsity of Rev. Walrdon's charges. It might be said in the onset, that the name National Independent Political League is a misnomer, National League of Colored Democrats would be more fitting, since all its officers, including the Rev. Milton Walrdon, and a few others who do not vote, lent what influence they had, if any, to the advocacy of Democracy's cause during the last campaign. However, this can not alter the facts in the case. Rev. Walrdon, evidently wrote his letter to the President without first informing himself. Your correspondent holds no brief for the army, and there may have been, and may be now, specific cases of discrimination, but Rev. Walrdon presents no specific case, and yet he, in response to commands the President to "give colored soldiers, as well as soldiers of Jewish or Hebrew extraction, the same privilege and opportunity for promotion offered white soldiers." Rev. Walrdon assumes that President Taft can order any soldier whom he may desire, up to take examination for promotion, for in his letter he says: "The examination of enlisted men for promotion to the position of 23 Lieutenant in the Regular Army which you have ordered and which appeared in the public press of June 9th does not contain the name of a single colored soldier, nor have we seen the name of any such soldier in any list for examination which has been ordered by you since your incumbency of the office of Chief Executive of the Nation. Continuing, Rev Waldron says: "If men that your failure to order such men before the Examination Board of the Army for promotion is an oversight." Rev. Waldron, because of his inexcusable ignorance of army laws and regulations respecting promotions, holds the President responsible for something over which he has no control. If no colored soldiers have been ordered before the Examination Board, it is their fault and not that of the President, as will be seen by reading the Act of July 30, 1892 which provides that: "All unmarried soldiers under thirty years of age, who are citizens of the United States, are physically sound, who have served honorably not less than two years in the Army * * * may compete for promotion under any system authorized by this act." Thus it will be seen that the act countenances no discrimination. The existing regulations, prescribed by the examination for the examination of enlisted men for appointment as second lieutenants under the Act of July 30, 1892 contains the following provisions, applicable to whites and blacks alike: "The enlisted man who desire to appear for examination will submit through military channels an application so that it will reach his department commander on or before February 1st of the year in which he desires to take the examination * * * The Company Commander in forwarding such application will verify the statement of service given, and will state specifically whether, in his opinion, the soldier fulfills each of the conditions hereinbefore required * * *" "The Post Commander will upon receipt of such application cause the applicant to be examined by a medical officer as to his physical qualification and will forward the report of such examination with the application." "Each Department Commander will each year convene a board of five officers, two of whom shall be medical officers whose duties will be confined to inquiring into and reporting upon the physical qualifications of the applicants * * * * to conduct the preliminary examination. He will order before this board such applicants in companies as required to fulfill the requirements herein indicated." Now it may be of interest to Rev. Waldron and others to know how vacancies are filled, and I will quote the law bearing upon it: "That vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant occurring in any fiscal year shall be filled by the appointment in the following order. namely: First, of cadets graduated from the United States Military Academy, during the fiscal year; second, of enlisted men whose fitness for promotion shall have been determined by competitive examination; third, of candidates from civil life selected by connective examination; fourth, of those designated by the War Department." Now can Rev. Waldron cite a single case where a colored enlisted man has applied, taken and passed the examination and then failed of promotion because he was colored? If he can he ought to be the first to call the President's attention to that specific case. Or can Rev. Waldron recall a single case where a colored enlisted man has applied to take the examination, meeting all preliminary qualifications, and was refused opportunity to take the examination because of color? If he can it is his duty to remind the President of the specific case, and we doubt not but what right will prevail as swiftly as in the case in which a Jewish enlisted man figured. Our correspondents recalled but two instances where colored enlisted men have regularly applied, taken and passed the examination for commissioned officer, and these men were John E. Green, 24th Infantry and Benjamin O. Davis, 9th Cavalry. Both men were appointed and are now commissioned officers. The failure of colored enlisted men to be "ordered" to take the examination for promotion is their own, because they have failed to apply, and not the result of discrimination or oversight on the part of the President. And all this information was obtained by Rev. Waldron before he wrote his letter to the President, had he wished or taken the time to be advised. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall.

Last year, through your efforts, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of the paper was celebrated in a most fitting manner, and the entertainment and souvenir edition in connection with that occasion have never been equaled In Minnesota— nor elsewhere, for that matter. Since it was your ‘able manage- ment that maintained the paper, Some honor and credit is due you; and, I am one who delights “to do honor unto those to whom honor is due.” And T believe the people of St. Paul, and throughout the state, will be glad to join in celebrating your twenty-fifth anniversary as edit- or of THE APPEAL, Your able management of the Quarter-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL Inst yoar, waa soon and Fecoghized by ‘every one Who Was present; and, if you, yourself, will take charge of the matier as you did then, I am confident that the public Will’ feel satisfied that everything that can ve 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. Oe aa eee St. Paul Minn, Mr. Editor: Since the Quarto-Centennial Cele- bration of last September, commem- orating the twonty-fifth anniversary of the birth of THE APPEAL, was such 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-be-forgotten, occas- sion, it has occurred to me’ that an- other such an affair would be hailed with delight by all who were pres- ent, as well as by tosé who, for sonie reason or another, were de- prived of that blessed privilege: and who would not miss the opportunity if it was again offered to them. |, 1 also recall the fact that_ the twenty-fifth anniversary of your ae- sociation with THE APPEAL occurs this year; and I feel that this ts an event as worthy of being celebrated as the birth of the paper; if not more so. For, it undoubtediy is ow- Ing entirely to your managerial abil- ity 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 seem to me that it will be very fitting and proper for the people of the Twin Citles to show a just recoz- jnition of the hereulean task you have accomplished in maintaining an [organ in thelr intorest for a quarter of a century, by tendering you a |festimonial on the twenty-fifth an- niversary of your connection with tho paper, or. on auch other dato tn in your judgment 18 more convent: ent or suitable. I would therefore sugsest, if it meets your approval— ag L know it wil, the patrons of THE APPEAL and your frletids generally that you proceed to carry out tha idea along the Unes employed ix the Quarto-Centennial Celebration o! THE APPEAL last year. I have no especial suggestions tc make, as the. success. of last, year’ affair, as well as many other social functions that have, been under yon) control testify to your exceptionable ability to manage them “‘to a queen's taste,” therefore, I feel sure you would carry this'to a successful is- sue, if, left to follow the bent of your own inclination, I am satisfled that I voice .the Sentiments of the people of Minne- apolis, Z Respecttully yours, R.

Resources of Miners When They Can Neither Smoke Nor Chew. "I can match the story you were telling of the cracker women in North Carolina who use snuff, by spreading it over the gums with a chewed stick," said the man from Alaska to the southernner next him, "by telling how miners and soldiers in Alaska tie tobacco in the arm pits or against their solar plexus in place of taking it as a smoke or chew. "When the wind is blowing 30 miles an hour and the temperature is 40 below it is some cold, as they say out west. If a man used tobacco in the ordinary way out of doors during such weather and get his lips wet through smoking a pipe or chewing he would be apt to get into trouble. First thing he knew he'd have his lips cracked and they would be raw all winter long "The regulars stationed at the military posts up in Alaska found that if they tied a tobacco leaf in their armpit previous to undesired duty they would become very slick and could pass the post surgeon for hospital, getting rid of detail work they wanted to avoid. "The miners up there learned something of this and found that the tobacco craving could be satisfied by binding a quantity of the leaf ether in the armpit or against the solar plexus. This avoided broken and bleeding lips during the winter, and they weren't prevented from smoking indoors as well if they wanted to. It was the outdoor smoking or chewing that made all the trouble. "No, I haven't tried it," said the Alaska man, "but I do know that the habit is very common up north in the long Arctic winter among men who spend their lives in the open. It is the queerest way to use tobacco I know of." SURPRISES IN OIL INDUSTRY Since Time of Drake's Discovery Every New Field Has Added Something New. Since the oil industry began it has been a succession of surprises. Drake's discovery well was a surprise to most persons. Since that time every new field has added something new. For several years every individual well was a revelation. Peculiarities were observed not found in their predecessors. Then the new things were found in localities. It is the same way yet. Oil refuses to abide by the rules and "freak" wells persist. The driller of long experience is constantly expecting something different from anything he has ever encountered. It is this novelty that makes the oil business so fascinating, but the same thing increases the hazard. The latest reported oddity is the discovery of heavy oil in the Caddo deep sand. The opening of a high grade oil field in that locality was a surprise to all and to many a disagreeable one. But when that grade of crude had come to be the expected thing from the deep sand there, a well is drilled in alongside the field that produces oil of 30 degrees gravity from the same sand that yields the oil of high gravity. A few days earlier a well found the light oil in a shallow sand and then caved in and was spoiled. So it will probably go to the end of the chapter. Science can guess at the probabilities below the surface, but until a means is devised to see into the earth for several thousand feet, the X-ray enables us to see through a sheet of steel, the oil business will be uncertain and full of surprises. It is hazardous in all its branches and will continue to be.-Oll City Derrick. Sterilization by Light. Milk is now being sterilized in Paris by submitting it to the action of ultra-violet rays, thus avoiding the use of heat or treatment by chemical antiseptic substances. It has long been known that light without heat can destroy micro-organisms, and in 1893 it was proved that from the ultra-violet part of the spectrum there proceeded rays that had a bacterial effect. It was further shown that glass stopped these rays, which, however, passed easily through quartz. It has taken over seven years to turn this knowledge to general use, but now in Paris an apparatus has been made by which ultra-violet rays, through quartz, sterilize 132 gallons of water an hour. After much trouble the sterilizing of milk has been successfully accomplished, although its consequence was at first a difficulty.
