PLANNING TO HELP CREDIT OF FARMER GOVERNORS REVIEW NEEDS. Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, Chairman, Makes Findings Known—In. Many Respects the American Farmers Are Worse Off Than Those of Europe. Colorado Springs—Following the investigation of rural credits and agriculture co-operation in fourteen European countries by the American commission of agricultural co-operation, a preliminary report was made to the conference of governors at its annual session held in this city. The report was submitted to the conference by Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the commission and president of the southern commercial congress, which assembled the American commission. In part it follows: "The agricultural interests of most of the European countries visited by the commission are organized along one or more of the following lines: Credit, production, distribution and social organization for the betterment of country life. "Organizations for the provision of credit facilities for European farmers follow the natural division into short time personal credit and long time land mortgage. The organizations for the provision of personal credit facilities are as highly developed as are the systems of commercial banking. The prevailing rate of interest paid by the farmers for short time loans is from 4 to 16 per cent. "The personal credit organizations have the form of co-operative societies. Very often the members of these societies assume unlimited liability for the debts of the society, while in other cases the societies take the form of Photo by American Press Association. SENATOR DUNCAN L. ELETCHER. limited liability. As a rule, in European countries the law makes little or no provision for exemptions of any kind. These short time credit societies furnish cheap, safe and elastic credit to their members by reason of their control by farmers and are organizations exclusively in the interest of farmers who operate them at nominal cost and without seeking dividend profit to such societies. "The organizations for production and distribution of farm products follow co-operative lines. Farm products are sold by the producer at a relatively higher price and are bought by the consumer at a relatively lower price because the cost of distribution is considerably lowered by co-operative marketing, which results also in improving the quality and uniformity of farm products and in promoting more businesslike methods in farming operations. "Credit is the keystone of the organization proposed. American farmers possess potential credit of vast amount. The task is to discover a plan whereby that credit can be made cheaply and easily available. "In the United States the farmer is dependent upon a banking system operated primarily in the interests of merchants and manufacturers, interests which are dissimilar to agriculture. "These European credit systems seem to be of two kinds, those providing personal, short time credit for operating purposes and those providing long time mortgage credit for works of permanent development and purchase. "I have contended all along that our present banking and currency system is framed to serve commerce and the industries other than agriculture. For fifty years it has discriminated against agriculture. I am convinced this was not a deliberate blow at agriculture, but arose for the reason that no commercial banking system can be framed so as to adequately serve agriculture. We must have a distinct system to meet the requirements of the farmer." PUT HIS WIFE IN HARNESS. Hueband Uses Spouse to Make Potato Digger Work. Asbury Park, N. J.-George W. K. Boyce, manager of the C. E. F. Hertick farm near Farmingdale, was arraigned before Police Justice P. F. Dodd of Neptune township, accused of beating his wife after he had hitched her with a team of horses in an unnilling effort to make a patent digger. Were was charged Boyce hooked himself, he had been son and his wife to the digger, but the efforts of the three, despite the horses' aid, were insufficient for the farmer's purpose. Becoming enraged, Boyce is alleged to have beaten his wife and thrown her into a gully. The complaint was made by a married daughter, Mrs. Grace Townel, of Elizabeth N. J. Boyce was held in $200 bail to await the sentence of the court and to await Boyce disappeared after the alleged assault and was found working in a restaurant here. The couple became reconciled after the husband's arrest, but the charge still stands. MAKES HUSBAND'S COFFIN. Widow Waika Two Days to Camp With Body of Husband Grizzly Gulch, Cal.-A tired little woman leading a burrow with a lopedid pack came down the mountain into this camp. Every man in the street helped to undo the hitches that fastened a plank coffin to the pack saddle and carry it into a house, where the woman broke down over the body of her husband, which the coffin contained. She said her husband, P. T. Stribling, a prospector, was killed and his partner badly hurt in a cavein on his claim. She made the injured man as comfortable as she could and placed provisions where he could reach them. Then she proceeded to build the coffin and her husband body and succeeded in getting it on the burrow back. She walked twenty-four hours with hardly a halt to reach Grizzly Gulch so that her husband might be buried with suitable rites. "KISS IF YOU WISH," SAYS HEALTH EXPERT Chicago. — Health Commissioner Young has appeared as champion for the kiss. Other health guardians to the contrary notwithstanding, his advice is to keep right on kissing as often as the girl will permit; that the disease germ does not lurk and multiply on the ruby lips, as some experts claim. When the printers' proof sheets of matter to go in the weekly health bulletin are submitted recently to Dr. Young by C. St. Clair Drake, a strict sanitarian, the health commissioner found an article devoted to kissing. "That will never get by me," said he. The article, in part, read something like this: "If there is no telling the amount—the students of the subject claim the cases are numerous—of tuberculosis and other diseases communicated by a kiss." "Nonsense." Dr. Young said. "I will have to act as a safety valve here, be a regular Horatius at the bridge." Again he perused: "Therefore kissing should be avoided—should not be indulged in." To his secretary Dr. Young turned, issuing this order: "Have the entire article against kissing stricken from the bulletin. Let people kiss all they want to." "A kiss," Dr. Young said, "is dangorous only when it is indulged in so as to lead to observation by an irate papa or mamma. The degree of aggravation differs in each case." LANE SPENDS ENTIRE SALARY Costs Secretary of Interior $10,000 to Maintain Home Alone. Portland, Ore.—It costs Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, $10,000 a year to maintain a home as a caballero officer and $2,000 a year for "ice cream and pink teas," according to a statement he made to friends during his recent visit to this city while discussing the high cost of living for government officials in Washington. This dissipates his entirely salary of $12,000 a year, and he has nothing remaining "exceeding the glory." Secretary Lane said that he is not extravagant in his home, as he resides in the same residence he occupied while a member of the interstate commerce commission. He pays $1,100 a year rent for the home, has two color servants and is not a lavish entertainer. BRINGS 2,400 SEALSKINS. Animals Were Killed Only to Furnish Food For Eskimos. San Francisco.—With 2,400 sealakins and 1,000 skins of blue fox, the steamer Homer returned from the Pribloh islands. The furs and sealakins were gathered from the United States gov- ernment stations on St. George and St. Paul islands and are worth about $1,000 islands. Last year the Homer brought down 5,000 sealakins. Seals are killed only to furnish food for the Baskimos of the islands. Defective Page THE APPEAL. READY FOR TRIAL OF NEW AIRSHIPS READY FOR TRIAL OF NEW AIRSHIPS STUDENTS WANT LICENSES. Three New Machines, a Burgess, a Wright and a Curtis, All Equipped With Foreign Engines, Will Be Tried Out-Special Badge Given as License-Several Anxious to Try. Washington-October has been set for the month, but no definite date has yet been set for the trial of the new flying machines that will be tested for the army at the Wright factory at Dayton, O. Lieutenant Thomas Milling will be officially detailed to supervise the tests. It is probable that General George P. Scriven, chief signal officer of the army, and possibly some officers of the army also will attend. There will be three of the new machines—a Burgess, a Wright and a Curtis—all equipped with foreign engines. The motors will run from 90 to 140 nominal horsepower and will be the most powerful ever installed in government machines. None of these new machines will be intrusted to any but the officers who have qualified for Photo © by American Press Association. LIEUTENANT THOMAS MILLING. the military aviator certificate. The older machines will be reserved for training. The army has decided on the design and obtained one specimen of the military aviator's badge. It is considered the handsomest thing in the way of a badge that the government has ever assigned. It has a plain gold bar with the words "Military Aviator" in black enamel. Beneath the bar there hangs an eagle with extended wings carrying a hawk with crossed signal flags in gold and platinum. Several of the students officers in the Philippines are just ready to try for their military pilot's license. They are Lieutenants Chapman of the Seventh cavalry, Rich of the Philippine scouts and Dargue of the coast artillery. They have all been trained as aviators under Lieutenant Frank Lahn, who was the first of the army scouts. He was right at College Park. Lieutenant Lahn has not been dying continuously, but he is in point of service the oldest military aviator in the world. Another of the student aviators who are about to take their military test is Lieutenant E. L. Ellington at San Diego. According to present arrangements, when the officers have qualified as military aviators they will be retained at their posts to the instructors to serve as military aviator instructors. Some of the older men probably will be sent this fall to the main aviation center at San Antonio, Tex. Considerable interest has been aroused not only among the aviators, but throughout the army, by the issue of the new army signal book by the signal corps. This contains the American Morse and the international Morse, the flag, lantern, Ardols lights and all the other systems of signaling used in the army. It is the essential manual of army signaling. The revised edition has been compiled by General Scriven, the chief signal officer of the army. One of the interesting features of the rush for the little book is the general desire of the boy scouts for copies. The scouts all over the country are coming in for signaling, judging by the many applications they have fled for the book. After the house committee on military affairs had thoroughly discussed the aviation problem last week it was practically decided to make no change in the present arrangement in the army, but to leave the aviation work under the signal corps, where it has heretofore been. Swims While Asleep. Rache, Wils—Frank Bryson, an employee of the Lincoln Ice company at Brown's lake, lay down on the lake bank and up near the opposite shore. He says he swam across the bay while asleep. NO PHILIPPINE POLICY YET. President Wilson Will Wait on Hori President Wilson Will Wait on Harrison's Investigations There. Washington—President Wilson has fixed his fast policy toward Philippine independence. The president does not consider bound in any way to approve the measure fixing 1921 as the date for Philippine independence, which was reported out by the Democratic majority of the house committee on insular affairs at the last session of congress. It is the presidents conviction that the date at which the Filipinos will become capable of exercising the powers of full self government is problematical and that considerable time will have to elapse and comprehensive investigations be made before this administration can be justified in adoption and the independence of the islands. President Wilson has chosen Francis Burton Harrison to be governor general of the islands largely with the view to securing a competent investigation of conditions there. ARMY RECRUITS ARE FEW. Reserve Law Cause Enlitments to Drop Off 400 a Month. Washington. - Enlistments. in the army are falling off about 400 men a month, and army officials believe it to be due largely to the army reserve, created by act of congress. However, only eight men formerly in the army have joined the reserves, which were organized last November, although this record does not include those men enlisted since November and who must serve three years in the reserve following their four year enlistment. The average number of enlistments in the army since Nov. 1 last has been about 2,000 a month, whereas it should contain destined men besetched to bind themselves for seven years. it was pointed out: also that "reservists" would receive a bounty of only $5 a month in case of war, whereas a man who re-enlisted would receive a bounty ranging down from $8. SMALLEST PAINTING ON GRAIN OF CORN Camden, N. J.-Samuel T. Schultz of this place, whose scenic and mural painting studio is at Wilmington, Del., has despite a lifetime spent in painting subjects in heroic size, the unique distinction of having made the smallest landscape painting in the world. It was executed on a grain of corn, and the painter has only now recovered it after having lost possession of the picture for more than forty years, in which it has traveled from art院校 through Europe, attracting wide attention as the tiniest painting on earth. Charles A. Wise, dead many years ago, but who had a wide reputation as a painter in his day, declared the grain of corn landscape to be a masterpiece of miniature painting. Having lost track of the picture, which he made in 1890, when he was only nineteen years old, Schultz decided recently to try to recover it. He advertised in several foreign newspapers, with the result that the wee landscape came to him in its original frame a few days ago, the painting in color and line being as sharp and clear as on the day of its execution. Another version of the miniature grain came from an ear that Schultz as a lad plucked on the estate of James Buchanan, fifteenth president of the United States, at Wheatfield, Pa. He had gone there to attend the ex-president's funeral and plucked the ear of corn as a souvenir. CORN CROP VERY SHORT. Government Reports Estimate Damage at 300,000,000 bushels. Washington.-As a consequence of the drought through the western states the promise of the country's corn crop was cut down 300,000,000 bushels. This is shown in the government's monthly crop report. It now appears that the country will harvest 2,672,000,000 bushels of corn this year and 3,124,000,000 bushels promised prior to the drought. Last year the American corn crop was 3,124,000,000 bushels. The wheat crop is likely, however, to make a high record. A harvest of 744,000,000 bushels of this grain is promised for 1918. Last year the wheat output was 730,000,000 bushels. HEART ON RIGHT SIDE. Accident to Brookton (Mass.) Boy Buried Orange Out of Rise Pushed Organ Out of Place. Brockton, Mass.-Keen scientific interest is displayed by Brockton surgeons in the case of Henry Dickerman, a fifteen-year-old boy, whose heart was forced by accident from his normal place to his right side. The boy was practically the sole support of his heart. Several weeks ago Dickerman, who was employed at a factory, was run over by an ice wagon. His rile were crushed. The surgeons say that it is probable that the heart will remain on the right side, but that the boy will regain his full strength in time. Besides Stopping In New York City, Noted English Scholar Delivered Address at Montreal, Canada — First Chancellor to Leave Britain in Official Capacity in Many Years. New York.—When Viscount Haldane, lord high chancellor of England, arrived in America to address the American Bar association and also to speak in New York city lawyers of this country had the opportunity of greeting one of the most noted men in the legal profession. He was accompanied by his sister, Miss Elizabeth Sanderson Haldane, and Sir Kenneth Murr Mackenzie, who is principal secretary to Lord Haldane. In England Lord Haldane never gave out an interview to the press in reference to a royal infirmation. It would be however, that he would talk to American corporals. Aside from New York and Montreal, an eminent English scholar planned to visit no other American city, having arranged to return home immediately. His sister, who is an LL. D. of St. Andrews university, has written volumes on Hegel and Descartes and on other philosophical subjects. Haldane is the first lord chancellor to leave Great Britain in an official capacity since Cardinal Wolsey went on a historic mission to France, taking with him the great seal, which eventu- ally one of the articles of his impeachment. The present lord chancellor put the great seal in the hands of a commission during his absence, three commissioners having already been appointed. Lord Haldane is one of the most interesting and remarkable personalities in a cabinet that is exceptionally rich in able men. He is stout of figure, above the middle height, with a short neck, a stooping gait, a large, pale full face, firm mouth and heavy lidded restless eyes. He observes and thinks all the time. An equity lawyer of enmence, a devotee of Schopenhauer and Wittschau, on whose works he has written, is a man of intellect and his mind is of a philosophical cast. His voice is high pitched, his manner free from pretension and very agreeable. He is an exceedingly brilliant conversationalist, his knowledge, topical, literary and historical, being encyclopedic and his memory prodigious. He is a bachelor, but associated with his life is a romance whose mystery has never been cleared up. He was engaged fifteen years ago to marry a woman of high standing, handsome Scotwoman, a sister of the leading Morayshire lard and member of parliament, an intimate friend of Haldane. After a month the engagement was broken off. Miss Ferguson afterward wrote a novel in which one rather harshly drawn character was understood to be her former fiance. Going straight from the equity lawyer, he chambers into the war office, he gained in the face of violent military prejudice and hostility complete control of the war department and introduced a territorial scheme which has successfully survived even the bitterest and most persistent partisan opposition in the press and parliament. MERCURY FAILED TO KILL Driscoll, Who Took Twenty-one Grains of Fish from Prairie of Bichloride, is Recovering. Orange, N. J.-Thimothy Driscoll, who was told a short time ago that he would certainly die as a result of bichloride of mercury poisoning, is looking forward to the near approach of the day when he will be discharged, a well man, from the Orange Memorial hospital. Driscoll took twenty-one the prisoner. Driscoll was regarded as hopeless. Phydrids at the hospital say that his recovery was remarkable, and they regard his case as unique in the annals of mercury poisoning.

Pennsylvania Railroad Putting Tele- phones on Freight Engineers phones on Paintless Engines. Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania railroad is to install a wireless telephone system on its trains with a view to preventing accidents. Preliminary tests have been made, and the freight cars are being equipped with the wireless apparatus. It enables the conductor in the caboose of a freight train to talk with the engineer and will result in lessening the number of brakemen necessary in operating the trains. While a metallic circuit is used, the system is practically wireless. The railroad track is one line of the circuit, contact being made between some portion of a metal part of the truck. A single metal connection is then wound about the coupling of each car, and from this point the circuit is carried to a pole on each car. The electric battery then flashes the current from one pole to the system is complete. An ordinary headpiece instrument is installed in the cab of the engine for the use of the engineer, while the mouthpiece can be attached to some part of the trainman's uniform, so as to leave his hands free to perform his regular duties. PROBE MISSIONARY'S DEATH. Turks Assert That C. H. Holbrook Was Killed by Mistake. Constantinople.—As the result of conflicting versions of the murder of the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Holbrook, an American missionary, at Soushuehr, Asiatic Turkey, Lewis Heck, acting vice consul and interpreter at the United States consulate general here, has been sent to Soushuehr to make an investigation. Officials of the Bible House in Constantinople assert they have information that the murder of the missionary was deliberate, whereas the Turkish authorities assert that Dr. Holbrook was killed in mistake for an Armenian who had aroused the anger of two Turks. The two murderers have been arrested, and the Turkish government promises that they will be severely punished. HAVE MARRIED EACH OTHER ELEVEN TIMES Wedding Ceremony Often Performed For Vermons. Hagerstown, Md.-To be married to each other eleven times since 1909 has been the novel experience of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vernon, who are at Braddock Heights. The marriage ceremonies have been performed in as many different countries. Asked why he and his wife had been married so often, Vernon said it was a sort of hobby with them, and they took the step as a precaution because in some foreign countries marriages performed in others are not recognized. He and his wife were first married in Columbus, O., in 1906; then in Montreal in 1910; in England, Scotland, Wales, France, Germany, Belgium and Russia in 1911; in Sydney, Australia, in 1912, and in Vera Cruz, Mexico, in 1913. They hold marriage certificates of all these weddings, and the display is unique. In some of the countries where they were married they did not understand a word the officiating clergyman was saying, but simply nodded their heads when they thought the time had come to make the responses. They speak French and German. U. S. EXECUTOR IN BALKANS Postal Bank Pays $200 to Montenegrin Soldier's Father. Washington. - Postmaster General Burleson has ordered that $200 be sent to Bojov Martinovich, whose son, Milc P. Martinovich, was killed in the assault on Fort Tarakasch at Scutari in the Balkan war. The son was formerly a laborer in Oakland, Cal., and deposited his savings from the secretary of the legation from the secretary of the legation at Athens says that the depositor was unmarried and lived with his father. His first deposit was made in October, 1911, and the second in February, 1912. This is the first United States postal savings depositor known to have lost his life in the Balkan war. "GOSPEL STICK" FOR WILSON. Negro Clergyman Sends Queen Carved Staff to President. Washington.—President Wilson has added to his collection of freak gifts a "gospel stick," an elaborately carved staff bearing his monogram and several scriptural texts. It was presented to him by Rev. C. C. Penwick. a more elegant Pot of hyacinth Springs, Va. the former bishop of ILberia. The stick is of dogwood, and the donor assured the president he had carved it entirely himself, although he is seventy-two years old. Lald Three Eggs in One Day. Loganport, Ind.—H. A.

Forty-two Companies Which Would Be Affected Serve 50,000,000 Persons Territory Is East of Mississippi North of Ohio and South of Canadian Border. New York.-The situation on forty-two eastern railroads when the members of the Order of Railroad Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen voted almost unanimously to strike looked most threatening before arrangements to avoid the strike were completed. Proportions were made to unravel the tangle and bring the employers and employees together for a settlement of the differences without the necessity of a general strike. Had the men struck every railroad in the east would have been tied up, temporarily at least. No provision had been made to move the mails or to haul milk supplies and produce into the crowded cities. Photo by American Press Association. AUSTIN B. GARRETSON OF CONDUCTORS' UNION. Photo by American Press Association AUSTIN B. GARRETON OF CONDUCTORS' UNION. The 100,000 members of the Order of Railway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen on the eastern systems who voted to strike unless the roads granted their demands have asked for a 20 per cent raise in wages and better working conditions. Through their conference committee the railroads refused the demands on the ground that the raise would amount to $17,000,000 annually and they can't afford to pay this sum. The employees offered to arbitrate under the Erdman act, but the roads refused until the act was remodeled. This has been done. Forty-two railroads are affected. They control 48,000 miles of trackage and include every system traversing the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio river and Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to the Canadian line. They serve 50,000,000 persons. When the question of a strike was put to a vote 72,473 declared in favor of leaving the service and 4,210 were recorded as being against such action. Every road ratified the strike vote. The railways affected are: Boston and Albany; Boston and Maine; Baltimore and Ohio; Bessemer and Lake Erie; Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh; Buffalo and Susquehanna; Central New England; Central Railroad of New Jersey; Chincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton; Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville; Chicago, Indiana and Southern; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis; Chincinnati Northern; Chicago, Terre Haute and Southeastern; Delaware and Hudson; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western; Detroit, Toledo and Ironton; Erie.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1983 We publish in this issue the form of a petition to President Wilson against Jim Crowing and color segregating by the federal government. CUT IT OUT, SIGN IT YOURSELF, GET YOUR ACQUAINTANCES TO SIGN IT AND THEN FORWARD TO THIS OFFICE TO BE FORWARDED TO THE PRESIDENT AT WASHINGTON. Copies of the petition have been placed in the hands of a number of men in the Twin Cities and elsewhere in the state and every Afro-American, and every actual believer in the brotherhood of man, black or white to whose notice it comes is requested to sign it. This is but one of the ways in which we can show our dissatisfaction with the outrageous discriminations which are constantly perpetrated upon us. SIGN THE PETITION. It is with no small degree of satisfaction that we note that several of the best white daily papers condemn in forceful terms the unnecessary, unChristian, un-American segregation which is being put into operation in Washington and elsewhere. And we most sincerely hope that a little of such leaven may leave the whole lump. The Chicago Evening Post says: "We believe that enforced segregation fans the trouble it pretends to check." "There are some who can contemplate comfortably the spectacle of the suffering that will inflict upon the colored race, but it would prove intolerable to millions of white people as it must prove to the colored people themselves. We are a century too late for such mediaeval solution." Them's our sentiments also. As drowning men catch at straws so are we inclined to renew our hopes that all our white brothers are not against us. Mr. John Wanamaker in a speech before the members of the Business Men's League at its recent meeting in Philadelphia, said: "You make a mistake if you think that the white people of this country do not want you to succeed. It is not a matter of race or of face that makes for success, but a matter of grace." That listens very good but the conditions throughout the country appear to be very different. Apparently, every obstacle possible is put in the roads to our success by the whites. It would be a fine thing for us if things were as Mr. Wanamaker thinks they are. We understand that President Wilson claims that the Afro-Americans are in favor of and desire the segregation of employees of the government. The President is sadly misinformed or has jumped to the wrong conclusion. Let every liberty-loving, self-serving, manly Afro-American in the United States write him a letter denying in the strongest terms that such is a fact. DO IT NOW. The race papers all over the country are greatly wrought up over the Jim Crow segregation which is being put into operation by the prejudiced crazed white men at Washington and are voicing their sentiment in vigorous and unmistakable terms. We have not space to even slightly pefe* to what they are saying, but we agree with and indorse every word. There have been incorporated at Springfield, Ill., the "Federation of Pullman Conductors of America" and "Federation of Pullman Porters of America." We don't know anything more about the matter but believe it bodes no good for the porters. SAINT PAUL FOR RENT - A nice large furnished room for rent at 330½% Rondo street.

HOT TIME FOR DELINQUENTS We clip the following from one of our exchanges to warn our delinquent subscribers what a hot time they will have if they fail to pay their newspaper bills. The same fate awaits on our纵行性 subscribers. "An editor who died at starvation was being escorted to Heaven by an angel sent for that purpose. "May I just glance in at the other place before we ascend to eternal happiness?" So they went below and skimming around, taking in the sights. It so happened that the angel lost track of him, and he went around Hades hunting him. He was caught by an enormous furnace, fanning him self and gazing with rapture upon a crowd of lost souls in the fire. Over the furnace was a sign bearing the words, "Delinquent subscribers." Come, said the angel, "we must be going now." You go on, said the editor, "not going. This is heaven CutThisOut ATTENTION!!! Colored Citizens National Petition Aganst Jim Crow and Color Segregation by Feberal Government Read, Citizens, Sign, Get Others to Sign, then Mail to THE APPEAL 49 E. 4th street St. Paul, Minn. This is to certify that we, the undersigned, are surprised and indignant that under your administration there should be any rules made by members of your Cabinet to segregate employees of the national government by race or color. We protest against this as a plain insult, public degradation, an insufferable injury to Colored Americans, the establishment of caste in this free Republic. We petition you to reverse, prevent and forbid any such movement by your bureau chiefs, in accord with your promise of fair, friendly, just and Christian treatment of your Colored fellow-citizens. NAMES. ADDRESSES. SCREENING OFF NEGROES New York Evening Post. So far as the Colored people are concerned, they are already deeply stirred by the action of several of Mr. Wilson's Cabinet officers in segregating the Negro employees within their departments—in some cases they are in uniform in corners as if even their aspect were contaminating. As usual in such cases the house is that it is all for the Negroes' welfare that it is being done. That is why I rendered more safe in the possession of their offices, and are less likely to attack them against, as the sinner belief of some who have had part in this innovation. What they do not see is that this for the first time officially establishes cause among the citizens and employees of the federal government; that it causes the Negro sections will be pointed to as the "nigger departments" and made the Negro administration and hate of such men as Vardaman and Hoke Smith and their less important militants; that the "nigger sections" will become as desplaced and neglected as the "Jim Crow" car. So far from helping the Negro to retain office, it will soon make it impossible for him to the Negroes of self-respect to enter a service which begins by classifying them as a people who must be set off less mere contact with them result in some kind of discrimination. In the far South every fresh act of discrimination, every addition to degrade and to humiliate, will allow its justification by this action of the federal government. Needless to say, those Cabinet officers who have begun this shocking segregation process took great care not to ascertain in the wishes and feelings of those to be "Jim Crowed" might be. It was the point of view of those who had the power to act which prevailed. That all of this will go without challenge is not to be expected. The progressive senators are already alive to their opportunity. The Colored people themselves are beginning to be heard from, and their political influence is not to be desplied. But we do not believe that this phase concern Mr. Wilson. We think that when the matter is put before him, we light he will withhold his sanction from it, just as we believe he will not permit any southern reactionaries, however influential, to deter him from giving in the matter of offices fair play to a heavily disadvantaged race. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes.

As usual in such cases, the excuse is welfare that it is being done.

Bequest of $10,000 Fifty-nine Years Age Will Be Looked Up. Boston.—A hearing on a petition under the will of Thomas W. Sweetser, who died fifty-nine years ago, will be given in the Essex probate court, when an unusual provision—that of providing the salem with cook stoves will get chained to the will stipulated that $10,000 be paid to his city native, that this be put on interest at 6 per cent forever and that $600 be spent annually in buying stoves and utensils for the poor if his estate amounted to $30,000 or more. Trustees to be elected must supervise the administration of the charity and must keep on hand a supply of different sizes. Then, too, the trustees on hand enough pipes for all the stoves. If the will was made public fifty-nine years ago no official notice was taken, and the gift was forgotten. JINX IS DISCOVERED IN GERMAN'S CLOCK Amite City, La.-George Zollenburg returned to his home near this city after another ineffectual attempt to have the jinx taken out of his grandfather's clock. The ancient timepiece is to blame for a long train of misfortunes that started Friday, June 13, 1913. The following details have been supplied by Mr. Zollenburg: The clock was brought to this country by Mr. Zollenburg from the fatherland. The old time mill had never missed a tick or let a second slip by unrecorded until noon on that fatal Friday. While waiting for dinner Zollenburg was surprised and alarmed to hear the old heirloom strike thirteen times for noon. "You'd better take that to some clock mender in Hammond," said the watch fixer, and he put his hand behind him and took the old timepiece were hot. Zollenburg took the clock to Hammond and, not wishing to have it fixed under false pretenses, told the jewelers there about its having struck thirteen. Nether of the Hammond clocksmiths would have touched the boooo with a fishing pole. Since then Zollenburg has taken the clock to every expert near here, only to have the job declined. That is not all. Here are a few of the things that have happened since, for which he blames the clock: His rich mother-in-law departed this life back in Germany without leaving him a red pennil. His valued hen (the one that walks with a limp) deserted her nest after sitting patiently for two and a half thirteen; it is again—thoroughbred Cochin china eggs. His hired girl eloped with his best stable hand. Twelve kittens fell in a well near his home and were drowned. His brindle cow Bossale gave birth to triplets, all of which were black as coal dust and males. PLANS FOR CELEBRATION. American Committee Will erect United States-Canadian Memorial Arch.
