The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 28. NO. 24. $1,000,000 S IN TARGET $1,000,000 SPENT ANNUALLY IN TARGET PRACTICE N April and September the various fleets comprising the United States navy spend the $1,000,000—more or less—appropriated annually by congress for target practice. The Atlantic fleet performed its duty in this respect between April 1 and 10, while at sea about fifteen miles off the entrance to Chesapeake bay. Twenty of our greatest battleships, headed by the Connecticut, Admiral Osterman's flagship, including in the number the latest additions to the navy, the dreadnoughts Florida and Utah and other of our big ships, such as the North Dakota, the Delaware and the Michigan, participated in the powder burning contest for supremacy in planting heavy weights where they would do the most damage in time of war. The officers are not discussing the records for publication, but there are rumors that some very gratifying ones were made. It is reported, for instance, that a target about thirty by sixty feet was destroyed by one battle-ship at a distance of eleven thousand yards, or more than six land miles. A target at that distance is a mere speck on the horizon. Had it been an enemy's battleship, the vessel would have been badly dis- In individual practice each ship is limited to a certain number of shots, and it has its own target. The scoring is based on the number of hits per minute per gun. It has been found that the gunners in a land fortification may be expected to average one hit in three shots at a moving target. I have considered that a ship that can make 30 per cent, of its shots, a score, for the floating gun platform not only is unstable, but is moving, while the fortification not only has a fixed platform, but there are opportunities for increasing the length of the base of the range finder. The ranges are obtained by taking two sight at the mark from different points whose distance apart is known with preciseness. The angles of the two sight lines when the sights are focussed simultaneously on the object, taken with the same distance on the base line, will show its exact distance. The fortification is also a vessel also in that the garrison can plot out some of its ranges in advance. The range finder on a battleship is approximately sixteen feet long. This is the base line upon which the calculations are worked out. Taking this into consideration, the capacity for making a hit on a target more than six miles away is an evidence of great skill on the part of all who manipulate the fighting machine. The ship is not only limited in the number of shots to be fired, but in a measure to the interval of time in which they may be sent in search of the target, it will be seen that without preliminary practice of some kind the records which have been made would be impossible. It is not I THE APPEAL. SALVO FROM 12-INCH GUNS the pointers, their eyes also fixed upon the target by means of telescopes. They try to keep the crossing of the hair sights upon the distant speck representing the mark, while the ship sags away or slowly rises on the stalks and swelling seas. A signal is received at one of the guns and a faint yellowish gas tells that the great shell is on its way toward the horizon. The spotters in the towering ship note the distant geyser which marks the watery grave of the shot. Instantaneously he estimates how far short of the target it struck, for it was many hundreds of yards from its goal. He telephones his guess to the plotting room. The range is plotted according to another shot is fired. The white fountain in the tower close to the target informs the spotters that it is a good one, and he telephones his latest opinion of the crew required. The new range is instantly communicated to the gunners and the ship, ploughing along through the sea, shivers as the salvo of shots leaps from her side and speeds on its way toward the canvass covered framework far distant, representing the vitals of a battleship. The spotter notes the geysers and the fact that there is little left of the target, and the posts between which the canvas was spread. The destruction of the major part of the target does not stop the firing, however. The range and the rate of its change is known. The gunners fire their giant pieces accordingly and the shots tear their way between the posts of the distant mark, or drop around it, where their descent is photographed by two cameras so placed on the stern of the vessel towing the target that their lenses are in from and in rear of the target. They tell the ship of success or failure, and the practice continues until the ship's allotment of shots has been discharged. This does not constitute all of the firing of the big guns which will take place. On another day there will be division battle practice. In this the fleet forms in line of battle by divisions and attacks a string of targets moving along the horizon several miles away in a formation intended to be a corresponding fleet of the enemy. In this drill the battleship is to confine its firing to the period of time in which the particular target, or opposing battleship, which signed to it for destruction lies between certain prearranged bearings forward and att of the beam. In this the firing will be controlled in some measure by the flag officer of each division. Problems are assigned to each division, and each ship is directed by signals from the flagship of the division. It may be wireless, as to the part it is to perform. It may be continuous, that in the course of the action it will be necessary to concentrate the fire of more than one vessel of the enemy. This will be signalled and the ships will aim their guns and fire accordingly. Torpedoes are employed for defensive purposes on battleships themselves. Should their guns become disabled in the course of a conflict and the enemy's vessels approach too close for comfort, say within two miles, the battleship would wish to terminate the career of the intruder. As a battleship would be required to do this only in the daytime, the torpedo practice of the crews takes place in the daylight hours. The motions of a torpedo are governed by a gyroscope which, set going in one plane, persists in maintaining that position. Attached to the vertical rudder by means of an arm, it resists any chance deflection from the appointed course and conducts its charge undeviatingly toward the goal. If the records made at the recent target practice were to be published, judging from some of the reports, the people of the United States would be satisfied that the floating bulwarks of the country were amply able to take care of themselves and their charges in the face of any navy on the globe. known how long a 12-inch gun, such as those which poke their shining black muzzles out of the turrets of the dreadnoughts, will stand the pressure to which they are subject when fired, but it is believed that their life is somewhere between 100 and 200 shots. No one waits to find out by experience what their longevity is. Therefore, no practice except at the prescribed times will be done with the big guns. Even at target practice they may be fired only eighteen times through the fitter practice period. At the end of a couple of years they are relined, and in this way get a new lease of life. “Ping-pong” practice, as it is called, and subcaliber practice have solved this difficulty. Very small guns shooting tiny bullets are attached to the big guns. In front of these small guns swing targets whose distance and motion can be regulated to correspond to the conditions under which the turret’s guns are fired. The alming is done by the movement of the large guns, but the firing is done with the tiny, pistol-like firearms. In this way the manipulation of the guns in every respect is that in target practice, except the actual discharge of heavy shells. It may be supposed that the time for spring battle practice has arrived. It is early April, and the battleships, with their attending craftare at the ranges. The Atlantic has a long, easy roll that does not seriously disturb the coiliness of the ponderous fighting machines forcing their masterful way across the waves. Rainbows form in the spray thrown up sparkling from the bows into the sunlight and lace foam on a blue ground flows backward into a spreading wake. Individual battle practice is to be the order of the day. In the offing the targets, thousands of yards away, are being towed along—white dots on the horizon. The ships which are to engage in the practice clear for action and the gunners are at their stations. Clouds of black smoke pour at their posts and indicating that the firemen are at their stations and indicating that the duty well. Up in the rectangular haskets, on the line, face masts, the spotters and their assistants, each connected with the plotting room far below them and with the gun crews by telephone, are scanning the horizon with their glasses. They have their eyes on the targets, and are instinctively estimating the distance. On the forward turret is a tube supported horizontally on a heavily built trunk, the end end end end are directed upon the target which is the square mark, and a seaman is focussing the two imagery points him at the center of the tube. The two coincide, and he reads off the figures shown on the scales. The range of the distant object, thus obtained, is telephoned down to the plotting room. This operation the range finder performs from time to time, noting the changes in the distances thus recorded. Below, in the plotting room, the brain-case of the battle, the nerve center, men are busy recording the movements of the electric nerves of the great organism and co-ordinating the information. Protected by armor plate and out of sight of friend or foe, this bureau of information, this multiple motor center, directs the fighting forces of the great machine, undisturbed by accidental sights and sounds.Messages are received at regular intervals from the range of the rate of change in range and a piece of the data for the purpose, is set going. It will plot and indicate the distance of the target at regular intervals of time. Everything is in readiness to begin firing. In the turrets the trainers and pointers are on edge, awaiting the word to fire. In each's the trainer, with his hands on levers gudling its movement and the guns within, his eye gudled to the target. The gun is pointed at the strives to keep his guns upon the target horizontally. At the side of the breeches of the guns are VISITS NOTED CITY Writer Tells of Scenes Where Jeanne d'Arc Died. Tourists Accept Hospitality of Farmers Wife, and Are Shown Relics Owned Before Her Ex- caution, Rouen, France—Flora, Dear: It seems almost cruel to write of Rouen, when you were denied the pleasure of vitting here. You were ever a stanch admirer of Jeanne d'Arc, and we planned to cover the scenes of her triumphs and misfortunes, since our first history days. The mediative城内 has quite measured up to my expectations. Jack and I learned the glorious old Gothic cathedral from the chapel and the pellytower. What a wonderful specimen of architecture it is! We made several fairly good sketches of the nave as well as the exterior. The term of Richard Coeur de Lion is much defaced by vandals who collect souvenirs. In the Place de la Puccelle stands a statue of the Maid of Orleans, over the exact spot where she was burned. The people of Rouen hold her very name in sacred veneration and relate many traditions associated with her tragic life. The surrounding country is extremely alluring, and each day we tramp for miles. The well-kept fields of grain or vegetables each has its border of fieldflowers blooming in riotous profusion. Poppies, daisies, buttercups, and bluets grow, apparently, to garland some child's hat. The afternoon, feeling rather tired and hungry, after walking six miles, we stopped in farm cottage and procured milk and fresh milk, and the good wife, a typical belle of Normandy, most kind to us. She spread our feast in the vine-clad summer house of her lovely garden. In the distance we could plainly distinguish the tower where Jeanne d'Arc was imprisoned for so many weary months. Jack pityingly narrated a few instances concerning her imprisonment which history fails to relate. In the midst of his conversation, our hostess disappeared. She returned, however, almost immediately, holding in her hand a small box of antique copper giving this to Jack, she requested him to examine its contents. Upon opening the box he drew forth a rosary, discolored from age, the beads being deprived of ivory. After murmuring a short cry, she gave us the history of the rosary, of her ancestors was the keeper of Jeanne d'Arc during the period of imprisonment at Rouen. He was devoted to this unfortunate maid, and Old City Walls of Rouen did everything in his power to relieve her suffering. He supplied her with appetizing food and at the risk of his life delivered messages to her friends. During the long siege of her trial he faithfully served her in every manner, and when the Inquisition finally condemned her to death at the stake he heart-broken. The bishop Bewauls ordered her Bible and osary to be taken away, so that the consolation of religion, so far his power extended. Crushed and humiliated, she awaited her terrifying fate. The keeper, at her request, procured a rosary from a sympathetic priest, who was powerless to aid the maid. She was quite overcome by the keeper's devotion, and blessed him many times. Finally, the day set for the awful event arrived and the innocent victim of superstition was led forth from his prison tower to pay the price of his rosary. When the light had been applied to the fagots and the flames rose about the frail form of Jeanne d'Arc, the unrelenting bishop discovered 'the rosary suspended at her side. He ordered a priest to remove it, but as he drew near the saintly Jeanne the flames formed a forbidding barrier, which no one could brave. The rosary is the cherished treasure on the little woman, who is the only member of her family. She claims that the rosary possesses the power of consolation, however great the sorrow may be. Dear Jean, you should know her! She is the personification of peace and repose. We leave for Paris in a week. Do arrange to join us there! Ever lovingly, JEAN DOUGLAS.

CLOUDS ARE LIKE SNOW PEAK Heavens at Certain Time of Day Resemble Gigantic Glaciers in the Alps. Berne, Switzerland—Whoever has traveled, in the western states or in Europe knows the beauty and understands the fascination of snow mountains. At places like Pau, from which on a clear day the whole range of the Pyrenees is visible, or Bern, from which, when the weather is favorable, can be seen the glaciers of the giants among the Oberland Alps, at such places travelers will wait for hours and even for days for the clouds to lift in order to see this sight which is so wonderful. Yet I have often observed at home great white clouds on the horizon which had the same majestic beauty as a distant view of the Alps, the Pyrenees or the Rockies. And no one has stopped to look at them twice or to admire them. The rosy glow on the Alps at sunset, to see which people will even desert their dinners, the pink glow of sunrise that entices them from their beds in the small hours of the morning—these sights which are so enchanting in their loveliness are surpassed by the coloring of the mountainous cumul that without going a step out of your way you may frequently see at evening in the western sky. This thought which has so often passed through my mind was recalled by a sentence written by Sir Francis Coulthus in a book describing Katherine. Early in September the atmosphere was freshened and cooled by the rains which, though they fall lightly in the valley itself, often heavy in the surrounding mountains. The sun is still powerful in the daytime and the sky unusually bright and clear. But the monsoon will often make a few final efforts. One such day I noted when voluminous masses of cloud rolled up behind the Piran Mandel to a height of twenty-five or thirty thousand feet, their western edges sag from the setting sun and showing clear and distinct against the background of pinky blue sky, while the great main volume remained dark, heavy and somber, with now and then a split of lightning flashing out, and on the far side, away from the setting sun, threatening tentacles laid out across the valley in unavailing effort to reach the mountains on the northern side. Under these mighty mountain masses we saw the great mountains looked dwarfed and piny. It was a great and final effort of that stupendous natural phenomenon which bears the waters of the Indian ocean to beat upon the Himalaya." Nothing could give to people who have never seen a mighty range of mountains a better idea of their appearance than the great clouds that pelt themselves just above the distant landscape. The soft, rounded summits are more beautiful than the sharp outlines of the mountain ridges, but the mountains are so often velled in clouds that the similarity of effect is often in the neighborhood of some great range one is uncertain whether it is the actual heights or the clouds that one perceives from a distance. WET CHEMICALS FOR FUEL Inventor Thinks He Haa Found Sub- atitude for Coffee and Used to be Bottle Boiler. Darby, Fa.—After working on the principle for a long time, George Smith, a well known hot water heater expert, believes he has perfected a compound that will do away with coal as a medium for heat. Smith's invention, which he says will heat a house at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and maintain it at that in the cold winter weather, is an elaboration of the principle of heat generation in water by chemical combustion. The best units generated play on a wrought iron boiler, instead of cast iron, and thus have the advantage of heating water quicker, because this metal is not as thick and yet it is stronger than cast iron. Once the water is heated to a certain point it begins to circulate through the pipes. Says There is No Middle Class. Montclair, N. J.—At the closing session of the New Jersey State Federation of Woman's Clubs here Mrs. Florence Howe Hall, one of the delegates, a daughter of the late Jula Ward Howe, objected to the use of the term middle class by Mrs. Seth Abrams, another delegate, in referring to the need for playgrounds in cities. It is a term copied from an English word and Mrs. Hall, and we do not want it. We are a denim We have no 'middle class.' We all belong to the first class. $2.40 PER YEAR. Her Highness Would Gladly Surrender Title, Wealth and Attentions to Again Live the Simple Life in England. Christiansand Norway. — Income $200,000 a year. Everybody says "Your majesty." Power to do as she pleases. A husband who is devoted to her. A son who is growing up full of life and spirits, yet a model of what a son and a future monarch ought to be. Subjects universally adoring her. And, withal, Queen Maud of Norway isn't satisfied. She is content with her husband, Norway's King Haakon VIL, and she is rejoiced over her son, the Crown Prince Olaf. But she doesn't care for the $200,000 a year. She grants to monarchs: sherd rabite along with her she used to skimp along and be poor. She is tired of being her majesty, and would infinitely prefer being a princess, poor at that, says a writer. She would welcome her earlier life, when she was picked on by a mother-in-law—and where can woman find a more malign fate? She is willing enough that the Norwegian people shall adore her; but she would delight in exchanging her coach of state for the top of a London omnibus, with Norway forgetting all about her. So there, enthroned by a whole nation's deliberate choice, victorious over all misfortune after years of harsh subjection, is a queen who resembles no other queen alive, and a woman who is millionaire for the very things which millennials of women are breaking their necks and their husbands backs to get away from. She has had her granddaughters for half a dozen years, and the longer they have been thrust upon her the sicker she grows of them. "It sometimes get tired of being royal, especially when I am looked at and wondered over like one of the Tussand waxworks. I often think how gorious it must be to be able to jump on the top of a bus and have a day on the job. That was what she said soon after she was crowned as Norway's chosen queen. She thinks it more emphatically now; she is chronically tired of being wondered at, and chronically hungry to jump on top of a bus and have a day out. She said so only the other day in other words. She could only abandon her solemn threw on her shoes and home in England and live there in prince quart, rearing her boy, now some nine years old to be a simple gentleman: Street in Quaint Old Christiania. If she could only enjoy her outdoor life as she used to, without any one noticing her and with her husband at her side, to be called Carl instead of Haakon. She calls him that anyway; but she wants to hear everybody else speak of him by the familiar name, and she longs to hear herself called Harry by the voices of her own family, as she used to be when her father, King Edward, was alive and was skimping out a few thousand pounds a year from his royal income to keep her from being too hard up over in Denmark. She is different from her mother, Queen Alexandra, who has been moving heaven and earth to retain some authority and to authorise her wielded before Queen Anne so mercilessly relegated her to and obscurity. She is different from Queen Amelia of Portugal, who braved assassination to hold her toterning throne for the sake of Manuel, the one son the assassin left to her; different from italy's queen, who assumed a throne in the face of royal contempt and popular dissatisfaction, and fought her battle for respect and obedience through years of suspicion and unkind criticism; different from almost all other queens, who have lived and, having once reigned, have abandoned the royal prominence and prerogatives only at the bayonet point—and even the recoil, Marie Antoinette remained resolved to wait for the gulletline.

Entered as second class matter 6. 1885 at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minneapolis, under act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1912. NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? It has been generally supposed that no white man is ever punished for anything he does to a black one in the South. But get that idea out of your mind. Away down in Alabama a white jury has actually convicted two white men of murder in the first degree, for killing one black man; and has given a third one, connected with the killing, life imprisonment. And that, too, in Jefferson county, where for ten years it has been impossible to convict anyone of first degree murder. These murders enticed the black man to the woods and shot him to death, and concealed the body. As their victim was only a black man, he was not missed, and although that was about a year ago, it was only recently that the crime was discovered. It was also discovered that the murderers had seven other killings to their credit. Most of their victims were shot from ambush, some for grievances, others to close their mouths; one for the purpose of robbery and one "just for fun." Murder in Jefferson county has been a weekly incident for twenty years, and that region became known as "Bloody Beat 22." The good people of that community have just woke up, and as there are more than a dozen prisoners in the county jail charged with murder, it may be that others will get their just deserts. To which we say, amen! IS LYNCHING A CRIME? The question, is lynching an accident?" is to be thrashed out in the Louisiana courts. The point came up at Baton Rouge when the widow of Frank Miles, an Afro-American, who was lynched by a Shreveport mob, filed preliminary proceedings against an insurance company. The payment of a $400 accident policy is demanded. The petition does not specify that Mills was a victim of an accident, but recites that he was found "hanging from the limb of a tree in the rear of the base park ball with a rope tied about his neck." M. H. HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN. Republican Candidate for Re-election as Governor of Illinois. MON. TERR. IN HENRY HON. FRED W. UPHAM. Chairman of the Chicago Convention Committees for the Republican National Convention. Lynching cannot be classed as an accident. Everywhere in the South, and in a few localities in the North, it is a fixed policy to lynch Afro-Americans charged with crime. At the general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church, at Bristol, Tenn., there were majority and minority reports on marriage and divorce. Both reports urged against permitting polygamists to enter the church, either in this or foreign lands. No action was taken regarding the thousands of Southerners who have lived polygamous lives with Caucasian and colored women. Many Southern churchmen consider crossing the color line in this way perfectly proper. INTEREST IN SEGREGATION If there is need of evidence to convince any one of the growth of race prejudice in this country it may be found in the widespread interest in segregation of the races in cities. The plan of restricting Afro-Americans to certain neighborhoods has been adopted in many of the smaller cities of the South, but Baltimore is the largest city in which the plan has been enacted into law. Samuel L. West, who enjoys the unenviable distinction of being the author of the infamous West segregation ordinance, announces that he has sent copies of his race segregation law from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. He says that there is a demand for information from every part of the country and he is kept busy sending copies and replying to questions about the working of the law. The law works injustice to both races, but West seems to glory in his infamy. SAUCE FOR THE GANDER, SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE. Mrs. Mary Dubal of Birmingham, N. V., is believed to be the first suffragrist in the United States to be given a penitentiary sentence for husband-beating. She was arrested on a war-want obtained by Mr. Dubal, who complained that in a fit of rage she gave him a sound beating. City Judge Albert Hotchkiss declared that if women desired men's prerogatives, they should also have men's punishments. He always dealt severely with wife-beaters, he said, and accordingly sentenced her to three months in the penitentiary. Now, ladies, will you be good? If this is a Christian age, and the people of the United States are civilized Christians, and the treatment that was accorded Dr. Ben Reitman, the manager of Emma Goldman, last Wednesday, meets their approval, then our understanding of what Christian stands for is away off. Of course, these were white Christians(?) and their victim was white, but that does not alter the case except to make it appear worse, if possible. We are used to their demon-like treatment of their black brethren, but to treat their white brothers in this way is almost unbeelievable. Some folks insist that there is no such thing as luck; well, what would you call this: A woman in Milwaukee charged with vagrancy, was awaiting sentence, when she was notified that she had been made heir to $100,000 and an interest in three plantations in Louisiana. Through her attorney the charge of vagrancy was dismissed and she started for New Orleans at once, to claim her legacy. If that isn't luck, what is it? Twas a very grateful and graceful act the presenting to Captain Arthur H. Rostron, of the steamship Carpathia, the draft for $10,000 at New York last Monday. And it was equally graceful for the gallant captain to say in accepting the gift that wahthew success came to him in the part he had played in the Titanic tragedy, was due to the loyalty of his crew. This shows that his heart was in the right place. Every day we are more and more inclined to believe that if to BE a CHRISTIAN one must: "With all thy soul love God above, And as thy self thy neighbor love," few of our white brothers can justly lay claim to the title. And nowhere is unchristian action more pronounced, so far as the "Brother in Black" is concerned, than in so-called christian institutions controlled by whites. Away back in 1884 John B. Kirchel, of Kingston, N. Y., made a wager to never cut his hair or shave his whiskers if Blaine was not elected. Of course he lost, and has paid his wager faithfully, and his hair is now two feet long and his whiskers reach to his waist. What fool things people do in connection with politics, and we may look out for a lot of freak bets on the coming presidential election. REDUCTION OF REPRESENTATION. The proposition to base representation in future Republican conventions upon the actual Republican vote cast is aimed at the South and means practically the disfranchisement of the Afro-American. The colored delegates ought to fight the proposition to a finish. A Japanese has been caught stealing jewelry at Princeton, N. J. Now, the logical conclusion is that every Japanese is a thief. That's the logic the Caucasians use in considering cases of stealing by Afro-Americans. THE NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCA- TIONAL CONGRESS. The Negro National Congress is creating a great deal of interest in the various states in the Union, and is indorsed by many Governors, and the following expressions are in 'common with sentiment of the rest:' "I will take great pleasure in naming a delegation to the Negro National Educational Congress."—W. Hodges Mann, Governor of Virginia. "I am pleased to reply with your request, and appoint a delegation."—M. E. Hay, Governor of the State of Washington. "I shall be glad to furnish credentials to any citizen who expresses desire to attend."—A. J. Pothier, Governor of Rhode Island. "Will try and appoint worthy representatives of the race at an early date."—Hen W. Hooper, Governor of Tennessee. "I shall forward you the names and addresses as fast as I can have them prepared."—C. S. Deneen, Governor of Illinois. "I will do the best I can in making the selection of worthy men as delegates."—John Burke, Governor of North Dakota "I shall appoint delegates from this State to attend the Congress."—B. F. Carrall, Governor of Iowa. "I am in thorough sympathy with the object of the organization and want to do everything I can to assist."—R. P. Bass, Governor of New Hampshire. The following Governors have appointed their delegates: Wm. C. McDonald, Gov. New Mex. 12. Nearly every Governor has promised to appoint delegates, except South Carolina. One of the prominent delegates from Oklahoma who will take active part in this Congress is Wm. Harrison from Oklahoma City, Okla., a very prominent attorney. Jeff Davis' body guard, Isaiah Montgomery of Mound Bayou, Miss, has been appointed delegate. F. L. Blacksherr, Supt. "Prairie View Normal School," Prairie, Texas, has been appointed delegate. Wm. H. McDonald, banker, of Fort Worth, Texas, has been appointed and will be present at the Congress. Rev. A. H. Attaway, president "Edward Water's College, Jacksonville, Fla., has been appointed and will be present at the Congress. Rev. J. Logan Crau, of Portland, Oregon, will be present. Rev. J. B. Davis, of Raton, New Mexico, expects to be present. Mme. Fannie E. Mott, of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., will appear in the Auditorium July 16. Mrs. Julia Embry, editor of Colorado Springs Eagle, is all delegate and will come. The interest shown in other places is highly pleasing to Governor Adolph O. Eberhart, and it is hoped that St. Paul citizens will vie with each other in extending its hospitality to the delegates and visitors who are to be our guests for the week' of July 15, 1912.

Prices on everything seems to be going up, and the newspaper publisher is among the sufferers. The price for setting type has been advanced ONE-THIRD, therefore a higher price must be charged for advertisements and articles published in the papers. Don't forget this. Why not patronize the business houses that invite you to trade with them through their advertisements in THE APPEAL? They are helping to buy your book, show them that you believe in helping those who help you, or your enterprises. Trade with the people who advertise in THE APPEAL. Dr. Waldo Turner has received a letter from Prof. L. A. Kirksey, principal of the high school, Pensacola, Fla., stating that he will attend the Negro National Educational Congress Prof. Kirksey is one of the most brilliant of the younger element of educators and will be assigned to a place on the program. A "safe and sane" celebration of the "Glorious Fourth" is planned for St. Paul. Instead of the usual Harriet Island celebration for the children, there will be celebrations at Phalen Park, Dayton's Bluff, Merriam Park, Hamline and Harriet Island. Of course, the public is at liberty to attend any or all of the celebrations. Abdul Baha, the Persian disciple of the propaganda of "peace and the unification of the world," is expected in St. Paul the latter part of this month. Abdul Baha is the leader of a religious cult that knows no man by his race or color and his advent here will be hailed with joy by all who believe in the brotherhood of wao While much interest will naturally be taken in the business sessions of the coming Negro National Educational Congress as there will be some of the brainiest men and women of the country there, yet the grand reception and ball which will be given at the Auditorium on the evening of July 16, holds the greatest interest from a social stand point, as it promises to surpass either of the two former occasions, when we have had this, St. Paul's grandest and largest place of public entertainment. There are 44 private boxes to be sold and the large stage is to covered with an immense waxed canvas for the dancers. 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. READ THIS IF YOU OWN A LOT. Mr. Home Builder, if you own a lot in St. Paul of Minneapolis, that is free from incumbrance and want a house built on it, let Peters do it. If you will call on him he can show you sixty plans of houses ranging in price from $500 to $2,500, and he will build any one of these houses on your lot and let you pay for it in monthly instalments just like paying rent. Or if you don't like any of his plans, he will gladly draw one to suit you free of any expense to you. He will furnish all the money necessary to construct your house with no down payment. There are no commissions on your building, no commissions or for making loan or for drawing loans. He has helped hundreds to become home-owners—why not you?

CATHERINE DEAVER LEALTAD Valedictorian of Mechanic Arts High School, Class 1912. ‘The only Afro-American graduate of the High Schools of St. Paul this year is Miss Catherine Deaver Lealtad, and while it is deplored that there are no others, it is a source of satisfaction that she won an honor that never be- fore fell to our lot, she led her class in all her studies for three years and thereby earned the rignt to be the valedictorian,” As Principal Weit- brecht said: “It was simply a question of brains, not color.” ‘The graduation exercises occurred last Tuesday in the auditorium of the school. There were eighty graduates, 9 Valedictorian Mechanic Arts, 1912. Miss Lealtad took for her subject: “The Value of Poetry,” and acquitted herself. nobly. As THE APPEAL has said before, she is petite and pretty and just sweet sixteen, and has breeding and brains, surely a winning combination. She is a daughter of Father Alfred H. Lealtad, rector of St. Philip's church, St. Paul, and St, Thomas, Min- neapolis, and a man of rare edueation and culture. Her mother also is high- ly connected and for years was a teacher in the public schools of Cleve- land, Ohio. So if heredity counts for anything it should not be surprising f Mist ‘Lealtad followed the good ex ample of her parents.

From an Article Written by Dr. Book. er T. Washington. Some time ago Dr. Booker ‘T. Wash. ington wrote an article about the Car: negie heroes for a prominent maga- zine, but. supposing more Afro-Amer- icans would see the accounts if pub- lished in their papers, a copy has been sent to THE APPEAL, and trom time to time these accounts of Afro-Amer- ican heroes or whites who have risked their lives for Afro-Americans will be given. It might not be amiss to state that the Inst report of the Camegie Hero Fund Commission showed that 2,067 cases have been passed upon by the commission and 583 persons have been sought oue and given recognition because they risked their lives in the effort to save others from Injury or death. There have been several awards to Afro-Americans since the es- tablishment of the Hero Fund Commis. sion and an account of one of these will be given weekly. ‘The first is as follows: John B. Hinl, aged 35, coachman, rescued Thomas S, Prescott, aged 6, and Florence Williams, aged’ 21, from a runaway, Atlanta, Georgia, Decem- ber 1, 1903. By grabbing the bridle of a runaway feam hitched to a landau ‘containing the child and maid, Hill, after being dragged some distance, threw the horse, It fell upon him, breaking the stitches in a wound due to a recent operation.
