SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1912. AMERICAN NECESSITIES Dr. R. H. Boyd, and the Canal Zone, relates an incident which shows that carrying American civilization around the world the Caucasian American has three things which he always carries with him—religion, strong drink and race prejudice. "Stepping back to the depot, we met one sight that seemed to be familiar in the Southern states, and that was four plainly-written signs put up in large gold letters as follows: 'For white men, for white women only. 'For colored men, for colored women only.' Here we stopped and wondered. Getting in conversation with an old gentleman standing by the side of the depot, we asked him how long he had lived in Colon; he said forty years. We asked him the meaning of the sign; he asked us where we were from, and we told him from the States. 'Ah!' said he, 'you ought not to be a stranger to this sign. Did you not know,' he said, 'that the American Caucasians are very religious and wherever they go they carry Protestant religion, whiskey and beer, and race prejudice? These three things must always follow the American Caucasian, and he plants them in whatever land he enters. Protestant religion, strong drink and race prejudice are the three things that the American white man must have.' Defective Page Had the Titanic on its first and last trip succeeded in landing at New York and at the same time in breaking the speed record, what a laudation there would have been! There would have been nothing but words of praise in the mouths of every one who was in any way connected with the ship and the trip. But the terrible crash into the iceberg brought out so many things that were all wrong that there seems not to have been much of anything that was just right. The absence of binoculars, the absence of the searchlight, the incapacity of the crew, the lack of a sufficient equipment of life-saving apparatus, the THE MUSICIAN HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN. Republican Canvade for Re-election as Governor of Illinois. J. H. Editor of the Crisis—A Prominent Figure at the Meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People burning coal in the bunkers and the Lord knows what all that was wrong is being made public by the statements of the survivors and the senate investigation. The result of this unparalleled disaster in maritime history will certainly be a more careful looking after the safeguarding of human lives along all lines, and this is a consummation to be devoutly wished for, and, horrible as it was, it may prove to be a blessing in disguise to thousands yet unborn. God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. Under the heading, "Interesting People," one of our daily contemporaries tells a story that is a complete refutation of several allegations of the shortcomings of the Afro-American, viz: "James Elliott, an Afro-American, believed by his relatives to have been about 101 years old, died a short time ago at his home in Binghamton, N. Y. He was a slave on a plantation near Dundee, N. C., when the Civil war broke out. He escaped by the "underground railroad," and made his way to Great Bend, 15 miles east of Binghamton, which was the nearest station on the route to Canada at that time. He did not attempt to go farther. He soon began to acquire property. At the age of 60 years he began to learn to read and write and became a lover of good books. He amassed a considerable fortune, which was invested mostly in real estate." As a matter of fact, there is very little, if any, difference between the Afro-Americans and whites, except in the matter of opportunity given to the Afro-Americans, when it comes to the "making good" by the latter. Give the Afro-American a fair, equal chance and he will show that he is made out of the very same stuff that all other men are made of. The Southern white people are a queer lot. They will send an Afro-American to the penitentiary for the most trivial thing, they will lynch him for nothing but being black, and they won't give him a fair, square show for anything on earth. But once in while they do some unheard-of thing that smacks of having a little human feeling for their brothers in black. At Atlanta, Ga., May 1, John Huddeson, a life convict, was granted a thirty-day leave of absence in consideration of his sixteen years of faithful services. Huddeson went home to visit his family, promising to be back at the end of the month. The warden said Huddeson, who was sent up for mur --- A freight car, containing 8,610 Bibles, is on its way to Los Angeles, Cal., where they are to be placed in the rooms of the hotels of the city. The Bibles are being distributed by the Gideons, who two years ago started to place a Bible in every hotel room in the United States. Within the last year they have placed 33,000 Bibles in hotels in California. It is to be hoped that the seed thus sown will bring a lot of the selfasserted "superior race" to the knowledge of the fact that: "Of one blood God made all the nations of the earth"; that: "God is no respecter of persons," and that Christ says: "Love thy neighbor as thyself," then they will cease to do evil and learn to do well. To be suspected is equivalent to being proven guilty, in the south, where the two principals are a black man and a white woman. This week Thomas Miles of Shrevesport, La., was arrested charged with having written improper letters to a white woman, he was dismissed because positive proof was lacking. Yet the same night a mob took him to the city limits, hung him on a tree and riddled his body with bullets. We very often wonder how these murderous colorphobists hope to escape the penalty of breaking one of the Ten Commandments, which reads: "Thou shalt not kill." The board of education of Yonkers, N. Y., has decided to discontinue the singing of Christian hymns in the public schools of that city, because of the protest of a Jewish parent. It is an invasion of the rights of non-Christian taxpayers to compel them to take part in such exercises and the action of the board was just. A mob of infuriated Georgians has lynched an Afro-American named Henry Etheridge, near Jackson, Ga., recruits for a proposed African colony, because he was active in securing re-This is Georgia's answer to the Heflin-Tillman-Vardaman proposal to expatriate the Afro-American people. The young man who in a burst of enthusiasm over some girl's sweet voice, tells her that he could listen to her voice all the rest of his days, takes desperate chances. This is leap year, doncherno! der, had been a model prisoner, and his long service entitled him to a rest, and it's dollars to doughnuts that Hudson will report for duty at the end of the month. 7 Republican Candidate for Alderman of the Eighth Ward, Earnestly Solicits YOUR Support.

FELLOW DEMOCRATS: First of all, gentlemen, I want to thank my friends of the Democratic Party for the honor they conferred upon me in selecting me as their standard-bearer in this campaign. I am not the candidate of any man, of any boss, or of any gang or any interest, but of 11,472 Democratic voters who chose me as their candidate for high office. Having volunteered my commission from Having volunteered, it is to the voters alone that I am responsible. I fully appreciate the high honor you have conferred upon me, and the more so, as it came to me entirely unsolicited on my part. Permit me also to say that I consider this ovation not tendered to me personally, but to your chosen stance of the President of United Democracy of St. Paul and the principles for which it stands. I bespoke for my associates on the ticket your hearty and undivided support, and appeal to you, gentlemen, to assist me in electing the whole Democratic ticket. I am a Jeffersonian Democrat, believing in equal rights to all and special privileges for none, and while I am a Democrat, I will advise and counsel of the Democratic party, I will not be dictated to by any individual or any set of men in that body. The very meaning of Democracy is the rule of all, and not the rule of the favored few. To that principle I hold steadfast. I have been assailed by the Republican speakers and newspapers because I have been successful in some small degree in my personal business endeavors. I have no apology to make on that score, and I do not believe that I am a Democrat against a candidate for public office that he has been successful in his own business affairs. As Mayor, I will serve the whole people as faithfully as I did when I was City Treasurer, and I would give to the conduct of the city's affairs the same business care and intelligence that I give my personal affairs. I leave it to the people who know me, to say whether in private and official life I have been efficient, successful and honorable. Two years ago the Republican party charged us with squandering the people's money. They promised the people the taxes would be reduced. But have they fulfilled their promises? Mr. Bush said they have. A word of fact in his speech to prove the contention of lower taxes. As a matter of fact the buget of 1910 under Democratic administration amounted to $3,563,773, the budget of 1911 shows a total of $3,766,368, while for 1912 the aggregate amounts to $4,098,633. I have no comment to make on these figures. They speak for themselves. They are trying to load on by statistics by figuring out a lower per capita tax. But the people will not be fooled in that way. The tax bills that you have to pay tell the true story. Mr. Keller charges that Democratic hold-overs on the different boards have opposed reductions in their respective departments. The Republicans insisted on a reduced appropriation for the schools, the fire and police departments. They wanted to give the fire board $25,000, and the wages alone in the fire department amount to $330,000. So the Republicans were really advocating a reduction in the wages of our firemen, whose wages are now very low, and in fact lower than in any other city of the same class as St. Paul. The Democrats on that board and I am proud to say that brother, Adah, is one of them, would be beholden to our Democrats, serving the people, had they stood for the reduction of the bare living wages now received by the men who protect our homes, and who, in my opinion, earn a whole year's salary at one bad fire, risking their lives and endangering their health. The same thing is true of the police department and of the school department. I believe that the people who pay the taxes are entitled to the best service in these most important departments of our city government. I believe in an economical policy and I also believe in efficient government. You never get economy of the right kind unless you get efficiency also. In this connection I want to say right here, that notwithstanding the belief of Temporary Chief Catlin, that we have to put up with his services or many years to come, after my inauguration I shall immediately so change the complexion of the police board as to secure to our city the services of a real Chief of Police, such as our citizens are entitled to. I do not believe in empty promises made to catch votes and to mislead the people. I would be the last man to gain anything by false pretenses. I stand before the people as an independent man, my career, both private and public, an open book before you. I announce on conclusion let me read my declaration in connection with such an announced the day I filed. I ask you give consideration to every sentence in it, for by it I will stand without any qualification or retraction. "In announcing my candidacy for the office of Mayor, I desire to state that I only become such candidate at the earnest solicitation of many citizens of different parties. I have not made and will not make any promise or pledge of any kind or character, directly or indirectly, to any individual, corporation, or interest, except that if elected, my duty shall be to the whole people, whom I shall serve in the immediate and to the best of my ability, one should my trust as a most sacred one, requiring the highest fidelity on my part. The soundest business principles should be applied in the management of public affairs, to the end that there may be proper economy, efficient service, and that which shall best promote the general welfare. "As I have always subscribed to the doctrines of the Democratic party, I announce myself as a candidate for the nomination of that party, but allegiance to party is second to the duty one owes to the whole people. In the future, as in the past, my guide in both public and private life shall be "Equal and exact justice to all men, whatever state or persuasion, religion or political." This includes the strict and impartial enforcement of all laws. "In reaching my conclusion, I have been influenced in no small degree by the confidence and generous support of the public accorded me in the past, and if elected, I hope, by sincere devotion to the service of the people, to deserve their approval." Gentleman, I mean every word of that. Otto Bremer never yet gave his word to break it. I will not disappoint you. If elected I shall be Mayor of all St. Paul for a greater St. Paul. HENRY G. HAAS.

WARE May Feast Contestants EMANUEL JOHNSON. Republican Candidate for Constable Is An Old East Sider. Emanuel Johnson, Republican candidate for constable, came to St. Paul in 1872. He built the first residence near Sims and Weide streets in 1883. Aside from five years spent in the Fifth ward, he has lived on the East Side and has been a tax payer all the time. Mr. Johnson has watched and helped the East Side develop from a few straggling houses in a rural district to present-day greatness. The first primaries when convention delegates were selected which he ever attended was held in the open air at a point where Jenks and Greenbrier streets now are, and ever since that time Emanuel Johnson has been identified with the official affairs of the city. Under Mayor Wright's administration, Mr. Johnson was direct sononer for the First, Second and Third wards and he was deputy sheriff under Chas. E. Chappel and also under Sheriff Jusif. To meet Emanuel Johnson is to become his friend and he is well known throughout the city and universally adored by citizens, regardless of party lines, will be glad to see their old neighbor land in the office which he is seeking.

Farnsworth is a candidate for re-election and his official record should insure his retention in the office for another term.

THE NEGRO INDEPENDENT PROGRESSIVE CLUB OF HENNE-PIN COUNTY. A Foreword. The Negro Independent Progressive Club of Hennepin County is steadily growing in membership, three hundred bona fide certified members having already enrolled with the secretary, Attorney Wm. H. H. Franklin. Heretofore, the Negroes have taken little or no interest in things political, leaving such matters, practically, to one or two men of the race. But now, through the efforts of this club, they are awakening to their political possibilities. They mean to be a factor in this, and in future campaigns by means of this organization, for this is intended to be a permanent body. The purposes of the club are to further the political advancement of the Negro; to interest all bona fide voters of the county in the proper candidates; to see that each qualified voter does vote, both at the primaries and at the general election, and that he votes for the right men; distribute necessary literature for the proper candidates, and enhance their interests as much as possible; and, finally, to combat the erroneous impression that obtains, to some extent (among a certain class of candidates) that one man, or select circle of men, carry the votes of the Negroes of this county in his or their vest pocket. They are independent and consider themselves qualified to judge of the merits or demises of each respective candidate, and will must trust to blind leadership. Each and every member becoming a member of this club, thereby, asserts his independence of judgment, and the right to exercise that judgment. "The men who help us, and will advance our interests, collectively, are the men for whom we will work" is the slogan of the club. No candidate will be indorsed by this club without a two-thirds vote of its members. The officers of the club are as follows: S. C. Phillips, president; Ralph Watson, treasurer; Charles Sumner Smith, editor "Twin City Star," chairman of executive committee; W. H. H. Franklin, attorney-at-law, 1020 Metropolitan building, secretary.

Why not patronize the business houses that invite you to trade with them through their advertisements in THE APPEAL? They are helping to support your paper, show them that you are a business house, show you, or your enterprises. Trade with the people who advertise in THE APPEAL. 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. Ordering a paper discontinued does not pay any amount that may be due and unpaid, 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 indebted to the paper, will bring or send to the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it.
