Copyright 1909, by Haris & Ewing SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1911 “Cherokee Bill” of Grand Junction, Colo, an Afro-ndian, aged 114 years, and declared by the United States Census Bureau to be the oldest man in the United States, has decided to re- tire from active labor. He has been working at the hardest sort of labor since he was fourteen years old. He is worth in the neighborhood of $100,- 000. It was his ambition to retire with an average of $1,000 per year saved during his century's work, but he did not quite make it. His fortune has been made in the last fifteen years from gold mining in Leadville, Cripple Creek and along Grand river. Well, if he did not succeed in his am. bition, he did succeed in proving that the African-Indian combination in his composition made a very good man. He has certainly disproved the oft-repeat- ed and generally believed assertion, that the Indian will not work; that the African is lazy and shiftless; that neither know the value of money, and that both are dying out. Long live “Cherokee Bill!” The shoe shining business was at one time monopolized by Afro-Ameri- cans, but that was many years ago. 5 > 0 co. ; oe = G : c x " ager F a ge is es 2 ae 6=C fos HON.

A Man of Whom Illinois is Proud. Im recent years the Greeks have taken up the business and hundreds have grown rich in business, In Chicago recently two Greeks, Georgis & Bugus, of 354 South State street, filed a lease for their eight-foot store at a rental of $275 a month, in the recorder's office. William J. Georgis, who is 21 years old, came to Chicago five years ago and obtained a place as a bootblack with Jim Bugus, who then had a shoe shining stand in the Palmer House. Later the two formed a partnership. Last February, Georgis, who is known to his patrons as “Little Joe,” bought a lot at Sixty-third street and Fifty- sixth avenue for $7,500, and erected a brick building costing _ $3,500. Other Greeks have amassed fortunes of $20,- 000 to $50,000 in the shoe shining busi- ness. Conditions in Russia and America Similar. Mr, Suvorin, editor of the St. Pe: tersburg Novoe Vremya, said in a re- cent interview: “I have nothing against the Jews personally, but as a Russian Patriot, 1am opposed to them. If the Jews were given freedom in Russia, the entire native population, be- cause it is so uncultured, would find itself in the hands of the Jews, All the wealth of Russia would go over to the Jewish people.” He admitted that “the struggle is beyond question a savage one, but then our people are savages, The editor's statement is brutal and reminds one of some of the utteran- ces of Tillman, Vardaman, Heflin, Hoax Smith and other famous or in: famous American statesmen. A recent census bulletin shows that the white population is increasing at a much greater proportional rate than the Afro-American population, Ex- cluding Alaska, Porto Rico and the outlying possessions, the total popu- lation of the United States at the last census was 91,972,266, of which 81,- 782,087 were whites, 9,828,294 Afro- Americans and 411,285 Indians, Chi- hese, Japanese and other non-Caucas- ian races. The increase in the white population since 1900 was 14,923,491, or 22.3 per cent, as compared with an Increase of 994,300, or 11.3 per cent, in the Afro-American population, Arthur E. Holder, in a statement Before the employers’ lability and workmen’s compensation commission at Washington, asserted that a man cannot get a new position after he is 40 years old. He said: “The man who is over 40 and who has a few gray hairs cannot get back when he once loses his job, but he can hold or if he has a place,” he said, “It ts the same here as in England, and it is the same in Germany and throughout -the continent.” | William J. Cathoun of Chicago,’now United States minister to China, may ‘be appointed an Associate Justice ol the United States Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice John M. Harlan. Mr, Calhoun has the support of Senator Cullom and two members of the cabinet, Sec- retary MacVeagh and Secretary Fisher, ‘Tuskegee Normal and Industrial In- stitute, of which Dr. Booker ‘T, Wash. ington is principal, has just received a legacy of $10,000 from the estate of the late Maria Blanchard of Philadel- phia, Pa." At the rate the endowment fund of this great institution is grow- ing the desired amount will shortly be reached, Verily, the old man is in hard lines. Miss Jane Addams lectured recently in Chicago on “The Possibilities of American Immigrants,” in the Chicago Hebrew Institute. She pictured the vise of many Jews. With all their handicaps the foreign immigrant has a greater chance to rise than a native Afro-American. And so Maine goes dry after all, and “as Maine goes so goes the Union,” used to be a great slogan just after the civil war. The W. C. ‘T. U, women are pleased and have taken a new hitch in their kimonas and propose to have several other states go and do likewise. According to Col. George W. Goe- thals, chairman and chief engineer of the Isthmian Canal Commission, the great canal will be completed and ready for operation by June 15, 1913. ‘The report agrees in its essentials with statements made in a recent speech by President Taft. Of course, the Republican National Committee on last Tuesday decided to hold the Republican National Conven- tion in Chicago, June 18, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. Of course, where else would they hold it? ‘The Afro-American citizens of Wash- ington, D. C., did well to honor the memory of the late Justice John M. Harlan, who was a staunch friend of the race. Similar memorial meetings should be held in every city in the oon eee ‘The harmony which prevailed at the meeting of the Republican National Committee is a good omen. It means the renomination of President Taft and his election by a large majority.

Harry S. New, of Indiana, was named as chairman ‘of the impor. tant subcommittee on arrangements. His selection was urged by President ‘Taft. The men who will serve on the subcommittee with New are David Mulvane, of Kansas; Franklin Murphy, of New Jersey; E. G. Duncan, of North Carolina; R. §. Williams, of Oregon; Arthur T. Vorys, of Ohio, and Victor Rosewater, of Nebraska, To supervise the selection of dele- gates from the District of Columbia, the following committee was named: William P. Jackson, of Maryland; Al- vah H. Martin, of Virginia, and Sidney Bieber, of the District of Columbia. Hill Elected Chairman. Former Gov. John F. Hill, of Maine, was elected chairman of the national committee, to serve until the Repub- lican convention nominates a candi- date for President. ‘The wishes of the candidate will then govern the selec- tion of a permanent chairman, No attempt was made to poll the committee as to the relative strength of Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt, but an Indication of, the way in which the members stand was given by the vote of 42 to 7 against the Borah primary plan, The seven who voted for the plan were Cavender, Colorado; Du Pont, Delaware; Borah, Idaho; Rose- water, Nebraska; Williams, Oregon; ‘Thorson, South Dakota, and Rogers, Wisconsin. ‘The majority report. of the commit- tee assigned to draft the call for the ‘next Republican national convention jas then adopted. It provides that the election of delegates shall be ar. ranged by the various state commit. tees. States, with primary laws are authorized tor select delegates by pri mary if their state committees so de- cide. It is, therefore, in the hands of the Republican state committee to say whether or not the states having pri- mary laws shall elect delegates by that method or by the convention sys. tem. q Taft's Friends in Majority. The Roosevelt boom was run down to exactly three sources, namely, Wil liam L. Ward, Republican committee man from New York; State Chairman Brown, of Ohio, and State Chairman Lee, of Indiana. With the exception of Ward, not 2 tmember of the committee came out openly for Roosevelt, no matter what his personal opinion may be. The whole Roosevelt boom was confined to the three men mentioned. Ward, it appeared, is voicing a certain senti ment in New York opposed to Presi dent Tatt because of his prosecution: of corporations. Ward is not friendly to Roosevelt. ‘The New York idea is simply the same as that circulated when Roosevelt was running for Presi dent against Parker. The report was spread that the business interest ‘would support Parker, with a view tc making Roosevelt behave. In the case of State Chairman Lee of Indiana, he is friendly to former Senator Beveridge and opposed to the Fairbanks, Heminway, and Watsor group, whiclt fs working’ for Presiden Taft. ' State Chairman Brown, of Ohio also has peggdnal and political griev ances, 5 ‘The meeting was unique in two re spects, There-was a complete absence of bitterness, and the proceedings were conducted with open doors. Early in.the day it became apparent that Secretary Hilles and Arthur Vorys, national committeemen from Ohio, were in control. The disinclina- tion of Postmaster General Hitchcock to indorse the selection of Mr. New as chairman of the subcommittee on ar- Tangements was overcome, and Mr, Hitchcock took no part in the pro- ceedings of the day. The Southern committeemen, said to be opposed to Mr. New for fear that he favored a re- duction of Southern representation, voted for the Indianian. Chairman New announced, after the meeting of the full committee, that his subcommittee would meet in’ Chicago in January, to begin the work of or- ganizing the convention plans, Row a Flash in Pan. A committee named to devise rules and regulations for the national com- mittee and its officers, which are to be reported to the 1912 convention, consists of Mr. Brooker, of Connecti- cut; Mr. Ward and Frank Kellogg, committeemen, from Minnesota, ‘The expected and long-heralded row over the primary question proved a flash in the pan. The following mem- bers of the committee were appointed to draft the call: Borah, Idaho; Low- den, Mlinois; Ward, New York;’ Rose- water, Nebraska, and Capers, South Carolina, The committee was ap- pointed at the morning session, which degan at 11:30 o'clock, and retired im: mediately. Within an hour the com- mittee had agreed to report, Lowden, Ward and Capers signed the majority report, and Mr, Rosewa- ter signed it with the reservation that he favored the primary idea, Mr, Bo- rah submitted his minority report. ‘There was practically no contest in selecting the convention city. Secre- tary Hayward announced that he had received tentative invitations from Cincinnati, Buffalo, St. Louis, Denver and Chicago. No speaker appeared for Cincinnati or Buffalo, and Mayor Fred H. Kreisman withdrew the name of St. Louis. Former Gov. H, A. Buehtel, of Colorado, and C. W. Rey- nolds, of Denver, urged the claims of that city, and were followed by Repre- sentative Frank 0, Lowden and Fred W. Upham, for Chicago. ‘The invita- ‘tion from Chicago carried with it all jthe expenses of the convention. Chi cago received 42 votes to 7 tor Den- ver and 1 for St. Louis, Two Incidents Develop. Two significant political incidents developed during the day. A stipula- on was made in the call, which ren. ders null the election of delegates to ithe convention prior to the issue of the call. This will invalidate the titles Jof delegates already selected in Ala- bama. Another was the resurrection of the reduction of Southern repre- sentation movement by Representative James Francis Burke, of Pittsburgh, who championed such’a resolution on the floor of the convention four years ago. ‘The committee adjourned at 3:15 o'clock to meet at the call of the chair- man. In Memory of Justice Harlan. Resolutions expressing “the sincere sorrow and sense of loss which the race, the country over, feels in the death of John Marshali Harlan, late associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States,” were adopted at a memorial meeting’ held last evening [at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal church, by “the colored peo- ple representing the citizenship of the | trict of Columbia.” ‘The preamble recites that the late Justice Harlan was an unfailing friend of the lately emancipated slaves and [their descendants; extols his broad [and fundamental conception of the na ture of slavery which made it possi- | ble for him to give to the war amend: ments to the Constitution a reason- able and understandable interpreta- tion; declares that in his religious life Christianity meant the present, prac- tical Fatherhood of God and Brother- hood of Man,” and commends him as a philanthropist who never ceased to emphasize the duty of the favored to the illfavored, the strong to the weak. “He was no condescending friend of the negro,” it declares. “Never by word or manner did he exploit his hu- mane sentiments, or claim a vested right to the gratitude and reverence of the race. He had both, but they Were spontaneous, unaffected and sin- cere. He was the. friend of human- kind and freely acknowledged the hu- | manity of the negro.” COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS = Bhetken SD int Te 0 RR eR eae me EE SOS ny ee aie ARE Ate th ae ee EA ote eR MON et eee rn ea acest te ee et <S eno SAR re cetrag ate oon ES EME Soa Knowles Bullding, | Boys’ Hall.

A CHRISTMAS GIFT That Will Grow as Your Child Grows. The State Savings Bank has solved the problem of a Christmas present for your son or daughter. They have a lot of handsome SILVER CASKET SAFES, which you can get FREE by calling at the bank, on Fourth street, between Minnesota and Robert, and making a deposit of one dollar in the name of the one you wish to present the bank to. Then put what money you choose in the little safe and present it to your child, which he or she can subsequently take to the bank and add to the deposit you have already made there. Then there will be an incentive to save the pennies, nickels and dimes instead of spending them foolishly; and, it will be a greater pleasure to the child to know it has money in the bank drawing interest at the rate of $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent, which the State Saving Bank pays on deposits, than any ordinary toy can give. Use this occasion to start your child into the way a savings account, accompanied by one of your savings, is beautiful safe, will make a present of value far beyond anything else you can secure at double or treble the outlay. Start your child right now! GOPHER LODGE NO. 105. I. B. P. O. E. W. Elects Officers for the Next Six Months Gopher Lodge No. 105, I. B. P. O. E.

When you wish anything in their line call in and see Sam or Roy, they'll treat you right. SUITS PRESSED VALET TAILORING CO 156 E. SIXTH ST Some of the people to whom THE APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is issued—and that is every Saturday—act as though they are under neither legal nor moral obligations to pay for it; when, as a matter of fact, they are under both. There is no law compelling any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one to pay for it who receives it, upon the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives. Order-keepers do not does pay any amount that may be paid and paid, and the publisher has the right to continue to send his paper until whatever may be due for it is fully paid; then an order to discontinue must be obeyed. It is hoped that every one who reads this, that is into the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it.

Shooting and killing a live rattlesnake as realism for melodrama is said to have proven a success, as witnessed by the second prosperous season of the scenic melodrama, "Through Death Valley," which will be next week's attraction at the Grand, week Dec. 17. Report says it is amply satisfying to all who like a quick succession of thrills, and a good measure of awe, intermingled with their theatre diversion. The most dramatic sensation is described as an intensely starling sensation. The hero is bound to stakes drunk in the ground, and close beside him is tied a deadly rattlesnake, fastened with a rawhide thong. There is a rainstorm coming up, and the villain figures that the water which will stretch the rawhide will allow the bound snake to crawl forward far enough to reach his victim, who is now just out of his reach, strike him with its poisonous fang, causing a slow, painful and hideous death. As the rain begins to fall, amidst flashes of lightning, and, with roars of thunder, the ratting he be seen waving its head backwards and, just as it is about to strike the fatal blow, is killed by a rifle shot fired by Gray Wolf, the friendly Indian.
