The Appeal

HIS DOCTRINES ON CHURCH Activities Have Not Been Confined to Church Work, but He Has Striven to Better Conditions In All Walks of Life—He is an Opponent of the Saloon—Was Chaplain During War. St. Paul, Minn. — Archbishop John Ireland is seventy-five years old. He celebrated his birthday recently in a simple fashion. He has had a long career in the Catholic church in America, and his positive nature has got him into many national and international controversies, some entirely religious, others touched with politics. He has been called "the brainiest man in the church outside of Rome." For more than forty years he has been engaged in some intellectual struggle or another, now proclaiming the tenets of the Republican party and lashing its enemies, again defending the popes as popes or defending before the highest tribunals at Rome his ideas of church government in America and the relations of church and state. No field of intellectual, political or spiritual endeavor has escaped his pen or tongue. From the pulpit of his cathedral in St. Paul he has attacked alike the enemies of his church and his own enemies in the church. He declared once: "There must always be among us an unequal distribution of the possessions of the earth, and the rights of property are sacred and cannot be violated. They who wrest to themselves the property of others are robbers and, together ARCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND. with other violators of the divine law, are excluded from the kingdom of heaven." John Ireland was born in Ireland. The name, uncommon in these days, is an old one in Irish history. Kilkenny is the place of his birth. He came to this country with his parents in 1840. Eventually the Ireland made the state of Minnesota their home. Very early in life he showed a desire to become a churchman. After an elementary education in the saffron where he studied the classes and the theology, to this country, he was raised to the priesthood in 1862 by the Right Rev. Thomas L. Grace, then bishop of St. Paul. At the beginning of the civil war he was sent as chaplain to the Fifth resentment of the Minnesota volunteers. Later he became, in turn, pastor of the cathedral at St. Paul, coadjutor bishop of that diocese and, on the death of Bishop Grace, the actual ruler. The church in the far west grew stronger at St. Paul, the registration, and eventually St. Paul was made the bishop of with Ireland as its archbishop. His fame as an orator and publicist was widely known at this time. A temperance advocate, the archbishop has given little or no quarter to the saloons or saloon keepers. The saloon became a leading question in the Catholic church in this country when Ireland was a young priest. In 1841 it was to the front again, following a fierce onslaught by Bishop Watterson of Columbus, O. One of his disciples, John Ireland, was the bishop Watterson withdrew his approval from every Catholic society that admitted saloon keepers to membership. The archbishop was a member of the commission appointed in 1901 to settle labor disputes. He has lived to see his idens concerning the church and state in this country approved not only by the Catholic body in this country, but after a long struggle by the authorities at Rome. One of the most recent utterances on the subject of Americanism was pronounced in a speech at the last convention of the Federation of Catholic Societies. "In America," he said, "the government is the republic, the government of the people by the people and for the people." ```markdown ``` THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4- it is the organ or ALL Afro-Americans. 5- it is not controlled by any ring or ollique. 6- it asks no support but the people's. VOL. 29. NO. 39. ARCHBISHOP JOHN IRELAND COMBINE AUDITORS. Secretary McAdoo Would Put Federal Men In One Building. Washington. -- Secretary McAdoo is urging upon congress a plan to combine in one building the auditing staff of the several executive departments. He would utilize the big structure about to be vacated by the bureau of engraving and printing. While the cost of remodeling would approximate $73,000, he declares the government would save about $35,000 a year in rent now paid for the use of quarters in business blocks. Auditors for the interior and navy departments now share one building, while those for the state and other departments occupy another. The clerical forces are divided, and a loss in efficiency is the result, according to Mr. McAdoo. Furthermore the secretary of the treasury is looking forward to a decided increase in the treasury auditing force on the passage of the new tariff law with its income tax provision. 6,000,000 IN COALITION PLAN. Two Big Fraternal Associations May Ampligrate it. It is Recorded *Amalgamate, it is Reported.* Chicago - Steps toward the amalgamation of the National Fraternal Congress and the National Board of America were recently taken by 300 delegates representing the two organizations in conventions in Chicago. The membership of the societies represented is more than 6,000,000 and the combined insurance more than $800,000. Economy in management and greater efficiency are desired. The Modern Woodman, Woodman of the World and Royal Arcanum are among the orders in the organization. GOOD BOYS WELL REWARDED. Get Farms For Not Drinking and Smoking For Ten Years Sloux City, Ia.—Ten years ago rays and Jay Garnett, brothers, of Sloux City, pledged their word to their uncle William E. Garnett, that they would not smoke, chew or drink intoxicating liquors until they reached their majority. The uncle promised a gift of importance in case they fulfilled their contract. The period named in their promise has ended, and to hold up his share of the bargain William E. Garnett deeded to the brothers a half section of valuable land in Cass county, MIll., share and share alike. Baltimore—The blind telephone girl has come to stay. An exceptional girl two years ago passed the severe tests of the work and has since then been a conspicuous example of what the blind, when gifted in other ways may do, but now the Maryland School For the Blind has turned out five other well trained girls, and the managers believe that they will be able to open this field of work to many other girls. These six pioneers, who are leading the way for other blind girls of the future, are working with the regulation switchboards, but efforts are being made to evolve a new kind of board which will greatly simplify the girls and increase their efficiency. The most difficult board now run by blind girls is that at the Central Young Men's Christian association. The Young Men's Christian association is a club, a hotel and a clearing house for many lines of religious, social and athletic activities. Just as a hotel it has about 200 rooms. The building has here and there eight pay stations, besides many house telephones. A member of the association is apt to be in any one of a score or more parts of the building when he is asked for over the telephone. But wherever he is the blind girl will find him, if switching and asking and "searching" to locate him. What makes this position difficult is the fact there are not many annunciators by which a bell in a room may be rung summoning the roomer to the nearest telephone on his floor. BOY DIES AMONG "HEALERS." Lad Was Stawed in "Holy Ghost and Us" Colony. Lewiston, Me.—Conditions at Shiloh, the colony of the "Holy Ghost and Us" society, are to be investigated again as a result of charges by Mrs. the thirteen-year-old Brunswick that her thirteen-year-old Brunswick, Haydon Jones, died of starvation at Shiloh. Mrs. Whittum alleges that while her brother was ill no physician was called and that no special treatment was given him except that he was put on a diet of corn mush, while two women "healers" prayed over him. The ind died on July 22. Hurt Once In Fifty-five Years. Bloomington, Ind.—After working steadily in the carries of Monroe county fifty-five, the ind accident when a large slab was brushed off a fat car and crushed his right leg. Simms jumped in time to prevent the stone from killing him. THE APPEAL. MURDOCK LIKES RED HAIR. Representative Says It Is Far Better Than None at All. Washington.—It is better to have red hair, with its sunset-like effect, than a bald pate suggestive of "September Morn" is the opinion of Representative Victor Murdock of Kansas, the Progressive leader of the house. The red hair of the representative, which has been the butt of many a joke in the house and elsewhere, was ably defended by him as he ran his hands through what remains of it. Red hair, he contended, is the sign that the possessor has great force of character and an indomitable will. When Mr. Murdock appeared before the delegates to the eighth interna- Photo by American Press Association tional congress of students at a smoker in the University club, Claud M. Bennett, toastmaster, twisted him about his hair. Mr. Bennett introduced Mr. Murdock as "the red haired Progressive from the unattended state of Kansas." "I admit being in a state of red headness," answered Mr. Murdock, "but must submit an argument which I believe to be unanswerable—that red hair is inestimably better than no hair at all." SAYS POOR SCALES CAUSE BIG LOSSES Would Have Government Take Over Weighing. Washington.-Declaring that freight shippers all over the country are suffering an enormous loss because of the fact that only 10 per cent of the track scales used by railroads are accurately tested and that only one-fourth of the scales are inspected in any way at all. Representative Willis of Ohio introduced a bill into the house to require a complete change in this respect. The bill, based on a long and exhaustive examination of the subject by the interstate commerce commission, requires that the American Railway association be authorized to designate the standard scale to be used, together with standards for pits, weights and devices pertaining to the track scales, railroads would then have until 1915 to meet the proper equipment. After that victory the act would result in heavy fines. Representative Willis is a member of the interstate and foreign commerce committee of the house and has been in touch with the interstate commerce commission's inquiry into the question involved in his bill. The expert of the commission with whom Representative Willis has been consulting is Attorney Marchand of the commission. A CRIMINAL .AT SIX. Wisconsin Youngster a Burglar and Highway Robber. Racine, Wis. — Richard Tucovlsky, six, was committed to the State Industrial School for Boys by Judge William Smelling in the Municipal court there to remain until he is released. Richard, despite his six years, has caused the police more trouble than any ten growups, his foolishness ranging from plain burglary to highway robbery, in which he used an unloaded revolver. Twenty times has Richard's name been entered on the police blotter for crimes that would have placed older boys behind prison bars. Threatening other children with a knife induced summary action. The commitment is of the youngest subject in the state's annuals of criminology. WATCH STOPS AS HE DIES. Timepiece Marks the Minute of Its Owner's Death. Milwaukee. Wis.—When Gustav Mayer, thirty, a machinist employed by the Columbia Construction company, dropped dead from heart failure on a Muskegon avenue car on Eleventh avenue, his watch, which he had carried for seven years and which he boasted never lost a second, suddenly stopped. Maresch, according to reports made by the street car crew and the police, fell from his seat in the car at 6:34 a.m. The large silver watch taken from the body at the morgue showed that it had stopped at that moment. ish public as at the recent grees, have and Scotland gated by Prey and deceive their Professor S. maize origin confirmed.

BEEF FROM SOUTH AMERICA Bacon Shows Remarkable Advance of 128.5 Per Cent in Past Decade—Other Articles of Food, Meat Especially, Go Bounding Up—Statistics Submitted by Bureau of Labor. Washington—Bacon had advanced 128.5 per cent, pork chops 111 per cent and round steak 102.5 per cent on June 15 of this year, compared with the average prices for the ten year period ending with 1000, according to startling tables made public by the bureau of labor statistics. The figures show that retail prices of food in general were 59.2 per cent higher on the date mentioned than for the ten year period in question, while they are 3.3 per cent above the price of June 15, 1912, and 14.4 above the average of June 15, 1911. Sugar is a shining light, with a decline in price of 8 per cent from the ten year average, but this ray of sunshine is allowed under when consumers are told that smoker ham shows an increase in price of 8 per cent, hens 76.8 per cent, sirloin 75.2 per cent, rb roast 75.0 per cent, 66.5 per cent, cornelain 57.3 per cent, potatoes 44.4 per cent, butter 41.3 per cent, eggs 40.8 per cent, milk 38.4 per cent and flour 28.6 per cent. When the price of each of the fifteen articles included in the bulletin is considered according to the average consumption in workingmen's families, retail prices are shown to have been at a higher level on June 15 of this year than at any other time during the last twenty-three and a half years, with the single exception of Nov. 15, 1912 when the level was slightly higher. Actual prices were obtained in forty cities, including New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Buffalo, Newark and New Orleans, betting the country both ways. While the average increase in the cost of living at retail grocery stores in 1913, as compared with June 15, 1912, is placed at only 3.3 per cent, the increase in many articles was much bigger. Baskin is in first place in this comparison, in this comparison, in being 16.2 per cent, higher than in 1912. Smoked ham is second, showing an increase of 14.1 per cent for the year, while pork chops occupy third place with an increase of 13.4 per cent. Hens advanced 11.8 per cent; eggs, 11.7 per cent; round steak, 10.1 per cent; sirloin steak, 9.8 per cent; lard, 7.2 per cent; rib roast, 6.8 per cent; butter, 5.8 per cent, and milk, 4.1 per cent. South America is sending greatly increased shipments of beef to the United States, and the importation of this product now has become a factor in the import trade. Between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 pounds of fresh beef, part from Argentina, have entered the three souths. A large portion of the beef is coming from Australia. Officials of the commerce predicted that the imports of fresh beef from these countries in the present fiscal year will exceed 8,000,000 pounds. TO GRIND WILD RICE Flour of It Will Be Tried as an Experiment. Grand Rapids, Mich.—F. L. Vance, "the wild rice king" of the Poplep river country, has commenced the manufacture of rice flour from the products of the shallow lakes of northern Minnesota. For years Mr. Vance has made a business of harvesting wild rice and has built up a market. He be manufactured at the Anderson grist mill at La Prairie, especial machinery for the purpose being installed. Before being ground the rice must go through a roasting or drying process, and this is done near where the grain is harvested. A machine devised and built for this purpose by Mr. Vance is capable of roasting 1,200 pounds in six minutes. As far as known, this is the first time an artifact of wild rice made to manufacture flour from wild rice. The raw material is plentiful, and prepared only cost will be the gathering and grinding, no seeding or soil preparation being necessary. PELLAGRA IN ENGLAND Fifty Cases Studied Confirm Theory It is Not Due to Maize. London — Fifty cases of pellagran whose existence only became known to any considerable section of the British public as a result of the disclosures at the recent international medical congress have been found in England and personally investigated by Professor Sambon, who has gone to the United States to study the disease there. Professor Sambon's doubts as to the maize origin of pellagran appear to be confirmed, according to the British Medical Journal, by the fact that the disease has declared itself in the British isles, where maize is sparingly consumed. Cummins Bill Would Jail Men Guilty \ of Lamar's Trick. Washington.—With a view to stopping the practice of impersonating members of congress and other public officials, which practice was brought to the attention of the senate lobby investigating committee by the confession of David Lamar, Senator Cummins of Iowa, member of the committee, has introduced in the senate a bill whose object is to deal with persons guilty of misrepresentation. The Cummins bill would make practically impossible the impersonation of members of congress, such as that in which Lamar engaged, using the names © 1913, by American Press Association. or representatives trainer and guardian for the purpose of driving Judge Robert L. Lovett and other financiers into employing Edward Lauterbach as their counsel. Despite the confessed deceptive and fraudulent nature of the plot engineered by Lamar, there is no law to reach it. Under the Cummins bill impersonation over the phone or otherwise by any person of a member of congress or other public official will be made a felony, punishable by imprisonment of from three to five years a maximum fine of $10,000, or both fine and imprisonment. Similarly, impersonation over the phone or any one conversing from one state to another will be made a felony. BONDS TO MAKE THIS A HAPPY MARRIAGE Canton, O.—An ironclad agreement, backed by bonds pledging a $700 farm and $700 in cash put up by their respective fathers, promised to insure the wedded bliss of Miss Elizabeth Boldi, seventeen years, and Casian Bartl, Jr. twenty, of Youngstown. The young people themselves have no doubt in their minds that they will get along together. They have sworn eternal love to each other and declare that the agreement and the bonds are entirely superfluous. But the parents, noting the increase of divorce and the fact that there are many pitfalls for the feet of unwary married young people, decided to do all they could in a legal way to make the marriage knot so tight that it can never be united. By the terms of the agreement Bribery father promises that his son will never gamble, drink, play or dance with any young woman other than his wife. The agreement pledges $700 farm. The bride's father has deposited a cash bond of $700 with a bank that his daughter will make a model wife, will not gossip, run around with other men and will cook to the husband's satisfaction. BEER MAKES MAN BARK. Victim of His Own Imagination, Fearing Attack of Rabies. Ann Arbor, Mich.-George McGowan, formerly of Dansville, N. Y., who suffered with rabies last March, but, according to a newspaper clipping found in a pocket, was cured at Albany, drank a glass of beer and later awoke the neighborhood in the vicinity of his room by barking and yelping. Investigating, the citizens found McGowan on all fours, alternately biting at the table leg and snapping at any one who came his way. A physician and three policemen overpowered the man and took him to a hospital. Specialists in rabies declare the man was not one of hydrophobia, but his victim of his own imagination. They ascribed the attack to the effect of the beer. McGowan is now comfortable and will recover. Never Blow in a Mule's Ear. Stoneham, Colo.-Barney Benson had heard that the way to cure a nule of balking was to blow in its ear. He tried the remedy and is now at a hospital in Sterling with both jaws broken and several teeth missing. The mule did not take kindly to the "gentle zephyr" playing in its ear and as a rebuked landed both heels on Benson's jaw. He Shoots a Bear Cub Caught in a Trap. Sacramento, Cal.-J. F. Misplay, a deputy in Superintendent George Radcliff's office in the Capitol building, returned from his vacation with a tale of how he slaughtered a magnificent big brown bear. Misplay was getting along fine with his story until one of his party told a friend how the superintendent's deputy had come across a ninety pound cub a farmer had tamed to pull logs in the woods and shot him while the bear was tied to a tree. Misplay declares that he trapped the bear and that he had a perfect right to be the cub's brains out while the animal was trapped in the trap. As proof of his prowess in the wilds Misplay had some cub meat shipped to his friends. The "kill" was made about fifteen miles north of Cisko. CLAIMS CHICAGO ESTATE. Baltimore Man Believes He Is Son of Publisher Lee. Baltimore—Believing that he is a son of the late William H. Lee, a Chicago publisher, who died last summer, leaving a $200,000 estate. Clarence O. Lee of this city has placed his claims to a share of the property in the hands of lawyers. Lee said his father left Baltimore about twenty-five years ago, and nothing was ever learned of his whereabouts. Two other sons are said to live in Baltimore. Romantic incidents in the early life of William H. Lee, which were published after his death, coincide with the Baltimore claimant's recollections of his father and led to his belief in the relationship. HE SAYS HE'S NOT DEAD. Civil War Veteran Denies He Was Killed at Fair Oaks. Lansing, Mich.—One of the interesting figures in the ranks of the G. A. R. is John Broad of Lansing. According to the records, Mr. Broad did not participate in the war, but he at all. The war records say he dead. He has been trying for fifty years to convince the officials at Washington that he is alive and he has not succeeded yet. John Broad, killed at the battle of Fair Oaks, Va.," say the records, and, so far as the department is aware, there is to it. "I'm dead yet, official records." "but the boys don't mind associating with a ghost, so I guess it's all right." OPERATION CURES CRAZED MURDERER Trenton, N. J.-Through a successful operation in the New Jersey State prison here James Sikelya, a convicted murderer, who was declared insane, has been restored to full possession of his senses. Sikelya killed a countryman during a fight with other Hungarians in a barroom at Belvidere. N. J., on Oct. 11, 1911. He received an injury to his skull and soon after became deranged. He was thought to be dying about the prison authorities and was about to receive the last rites of the Catholic Church when the physicians decided to operate. They removed a section of bone from the base of Sikelya's skull, which had been pressing upon his brain, and he is reported to be in full control of his senses. Dr. Samuel Sica, one of the physicians who assisted at the operation, said: "Sikelya is now calm and peaceable. All his old violence has left him. The relief brought about by the removal of the piece of bone that was pressing on his brain has given the man a new outlook on life. He is now anxious and eager for employment in the prison shops and for the crime he committs. A normal man's abhorrence. The injury, as I understand, came about in the fight which he committed to prison for murder, but it would seem to me that the operation has changed the man entirely, making him a better man than he was before he received the injury." CAUSE OF FOREST FIRES. Lightning to Blame—Educational Campaign Has Changed Conditions. Washington.—Lightning has caused most of the fires this year in national forests, according to reports to the forest service. In former years spark showering locomotives, campers and brush burners were the chief causes of fires. The change is attributed to the educational campaign conducted among users of the forests, as well as to the improvement of the fire patrol system. Dew and windy conditions in southern Arizona and New Mexico make fire risk there imminent. Deaf and Dumb Congress. Glent. Belgium.—The first international congress of the deaf and dumb recently opened here. All proceedings are conducted in the sign language. The principal object of the congress is the organization of an international union to promote the welfare and improve the condition of indigent deaf and dumb persons. $2.40 PER YEAR. HOW HER VISIT IS REGARDED Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, American Suffragist, Does Not Think That English Leader Should Be Entertained, as Few Courtesies Were Shown Americans While Abroad. New York. - Will Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst be allowed by the immigration authorities to land in this country? Most of the suffragette leaders say they honor Mrs. Pankhurst as a woman, but that they don't approve of her methods. Her visit is going to put them in an awkward position. If they don't pay any attention to her they will be accused of a slight to a woman who has spent her life working "the cause." If they do show her attention their action may be interpreted as militant methods. This is the choice. Is it which Mrs. Pankhurst's visit has forced upon the American women, and a good many of them are resenting it. The Woman's Political union has taken the bull by the horns and cabled to the prospective visitor an invitation to a public dinner. The invitation has been accepted. But never was hospitality preceded and accompanied by so much hostility. A solution is to follow Mrs. Pankhurst and leave her alone. Neither she nor organization ever gave a dinner to a American suffragrist in England. She has had plenty of opportunities too. MRS. EMMELINE PANKHURST. But the Pankhurst society, alone among the English organizations, has never extended a single courtesy to an American leader, not even to Mrs. Catt, the international president. "Why all this talk of what we shall or shall not do for Mrs. Pankhurst?" said Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National society. "Why not do just as Mrs. Pankhurst does when we visit England? I have been there repeatedly, Mrs. Catt has been there, other presidents of our organizations have been there. But I have yet to know of a luncheon or a dinner or a reception being given by Mrs. Pankhurst or her society for any of us. "What Mrs. Pankhurst first visited this country, we have entertained her to the best of our ability. National society gave a reception for her, and there were dinners and luncheons flowers and carriages for her wherever she went. Since then we, for our part, have been in her country, but the Women's Social and Political union has never extended any of these courses to us. Wouldn't the natural inference be that Mrs. Pankhurst had signified her own desires and that we should be doing the simple and sensible thing if we did not extend to her the courtesies she forbore to extend to us? "It is true that, as I was reminded by some one the other day, I have spoken and lectured many times in England. But I never received one pen for it. Not that, but I never had a carriage furnished me to the hall. I hired my own. If I marched in one of their parades I bought my own sash. And what was true of me in these circumstances was true of other American women. "I honor Mrs. Pankhurst as a woman, while I disapprove of her methods. I regret for two reasons that she is coming to this country now—first, because at this time we need to focus all our own attention and all the public attention on our own work. Her coming will distract the attention from our issues and our methods. "In the second place, she is coming here to raise money for her work in England. Thousands of people will pay to see and hear her, and that money will go abroad with her. I am sorry, because this is a critical time with us, and we need money." J. B. DR. W. E. EURGHARDT DU EOIS. DR. W. E. EURGHARDT DU EOIS. Author of "A Litany of Atlanta," Published Originally in the New York Independent and Reprinted in The Appeal by Permission. ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S SHAME. Seven years have passed since the bloody massacre of innocent Afro-Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and we reprint Du Bois' famous "A Litation of Atlanta" that the race may not forget the awful days when Colored men, women and children were shot down like dogs because of their race. Not a single person who was killed had been guilty of any crime whatever. The massacre was caused by the incendiary editorials of the Atlanta News and Journal, owned by Hoke Smith, since Governor of Georgia and now United States senator from that state. In his gubernatorial canvass Smith also made incendiary speeches inciting the Caucasians against Afro-Americans and demanding that the race be disfranchised. This has since been done by legislative enactment. Senator Hoke Smith is said to be the author of the jim crow policy of the present administration and he has the active support of Vardaman, Hefflin, Roddenbery and nearly every Southerner in Congress. Every Afro-American parent ought to bring "A Litany of Atlanta" to the attention of his children. Let them commit it to memory—it is a gem of perfect English. Let it burn into the souls of your children so that they may know that in its efforts to degrade the Colored race and resuce it to a condition not far removed from slavery, the South does not hesitate to murder innocent men, women and children. BLOOD LUST OF THE MOB. Just recently a Negro was lynched by a mob at Greenville, Georgia. The very next day it was announced that the Negro's innocence had been completely proved, the real culprit having been apprehended and confessed. The mob that destroyed an innocent man will go its way undisturbed, yet it committed hot-blooded murder without justification. --- Silent God, Thou whose voice afar in mist and mystery hath left our ears an-hungered in these fearful days— Hear us, good Lord! Listen to us, Thy children: our faces dark with doubt, are made a mockery in Thy sanctuary. With uplifted hands we front Thy heaven. O God, crying: We are not better than our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and human men. When our devils do deviltry, curse Thou the doer and the deed: curse them as we curse them, do to them all and more than ever they have done to innocence and weakness, to womanhood and home. And yet whose is the deeper guilt? Who made these devils? Who nursed them in crime and fed them on injustice? Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public injustice? Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guile be easier than innocence, and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty? Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead? Have not seers seen in Heaven's halls Thine hearsed and lifeless form stark amidst the black and rolling smoke of sin, where all along bow bitter forms of endless dead? Thou art not dead, but flown afar, up hills of endless light, thru blazing corridors of suns, where worlds do swing of good and gentle men, of women strong and free—far from the cozenage, black hypocrisy and chaste prostitution of this shameful speck of dust!

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1913 A Litany of Atlanta We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! Have mercy upon us, miserable sinners! Thou knowest, good God! It is a fine commentary upon the law and upon the ability of men to govern themselves. It is especially an illuminating commentary on the whole race-hatred movement. It indicates that the real desire is to lunch a Negro and not particularly to punish the man guilty of crime. It shows how debased a man can become through hatred, and makes one pause and wonder whether civilization may work its way out on this continent when such savagery can dominate whole communities of men. Mob murder is worse than individual murder, and yet it is seldom punished. In this case an innocent citizen, supposed to have the protection of the law, was ruthlessly slaughtered to make a holiday for a frenzied, shouting mass of half-crazed men, drunk with lust for blood through a fostering of race hatred. Nothing can undo that crime, nothing give back that life. Yet the law complacently beholds these maniacs proceeding about their business and makes no effort to apprehend them for their awful crime. It seems inevitable that some day the government itself will have to devise a way to prevent this disregard of law and justice and decency if communities are unwilling or helpless—St. Paul Dispatch. The foregoing editorial, which we republish in its entirety, strikes right at the root of the mob murder and is one of the very best that we have seen. We hope it will bear good fruit. The information has reached THE APPEAL to the effect that the Indian, Gabe Parker, who has been named as Register of the Treasury at Washington, D.

Tell us the Plan; give us the Sign! --- THE ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY After a national campaign in which independent Colored voters broke away from traditional party solidarity against the national Democratic party under the lead of this League for the expressed purpose of trying the experiment of bringing about a better racial feeling between the Colored American and the Democratic South, the National Independent League in the 6th Annual Meeting assembled, has no apologies to offer for the course advised, despite disappointment at the course so far pursued under cabinet officers and in one respect by the President, a Democrat whose election the Colored voters dissolved so numerously, more so than ever for a Democrat before. The officers of this League and other leaders were not only given assurances of no color discrimination, but a National Democratic Committee, which supported four headquarters to send out librarians to the Colored voters asking their vote on the assurance of justice and equal rights but Gov. Wilson, the candidate, by word and open letter, declared unequivocally for a course based upon the letter and spirit of the federal constitution, on Christianity, and "justice executed with liberality." Cutting down almost to zero the holding of federal office by Colored citizens under presidential appointment is not consistent with these promises. The present policy of color segregation in toilers and working positions in the Treasury and the Postoffice Department buildings at Washington is such an insult, humiliation, public degradation, denial of justice, of freedom and the right to rise by merit, that its continuance would be not only a menace to our Republic, but an act of perfidy by the National Democratic party whose acting committee head was none other than the present Secretary of the Treasury; and of personal dishonor by the present President of the United States. We cannot believe that this course will be persisted in by the cabinet officers or long permitted by this Christian President. We appeal to the National Democratic party to be true to the name "democracy," to be a national not a sectional party, one of equal rights, not one dominated by sectional or racial prejudice. We appeal to President Wilson to be the president of all the people, not of a part of the people. The Democratic party is now on trial, as to whether its leaders in the North are to make good on their past claims that the national party was not a mere Southern race-prejudice party, whether its best-Southern leaders can make good on their prophecies that support by Colored voters in the North would lead to more friendly racial relations. The question whether Colored men can ever safely vote the National Democratic ticket is now in the hands of a Democratic administration, which has complete control of the federal government. On the answer depends the future of the party as one destined to retain power. We call to the attention of the people of the United States and protest against. First—Complete denial of Civil Rights for American citizens because of race and color in the Southern states, and a partial and growing denial, in Northern states. Second—Segregation of Citizens for Race and Color in all public facilities and places of accommodation and resort in these Southern states, including even libraries, street cars, and residences, degrading system of Jim-Crowism. Third—Unequal and Inadequate School Provisions in the South for Colored persons with a tendency to limit educational advantages to elementary and industrial fines, even unequal application of federal school appropriations to Southern states. Fourth—Race and Color Segregation By Or Within the Federal Government, a policy which never approached the official stage until this administration now existing as to the public lavatories and working positions in the department buildings at Washington under the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General, constituting the introduction of caste into the national government, a humiliation of one-tenth of the people, a violation of the principles of Civil Service Reform. Fifth—Disfranchisement for Race or Color, Because of race or color—r horrible savage practice, the full almost universally prevalent in the Southern states in violation of the spirit and letter of the federal law, taking away a citizen's only defense in a Republic, not, as claimed, by a voting test, but the application of severe tests; one the insuperable test for Colored citizens and based on ancestry and no test for white citizens. Sixth—The Denial of the Right of Trial by Jury and Substitution of Lynching law, fruit—dread results of all before mentioned color discrimination and denial of the suffrage. Such conditions demand the protest and the practical opposition of every patriotic citizen of this Republic, of Colored citizens for the preservation of their rights, their liberties, their families, and very lives; of other citizens for the preservation of our Republic form of government. We call upon all Colored citizens to resist color oppression by agitation, voting and every lawful means within their power. Rev. Byron Gunner, N. Y.; Dr. J. L. Johnson, Ohio; W.

Arrangements for the grand celebration of the FIETIETH ANNIVERSARY OF EMANOIPATION under the auspices of THE APPEAL at Arcanum to the THEATRE and St. Peter streets, St. Paul, Tuesday, September 30, are about completed. The program which is now all completed, includes the reading of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation; addresses by Mayor Herbert P. Keller, attorneys W. R. Morris, W. T. Francis, and J. Louis Ervin; the principal address will be made by the Attorney General of Minnesota Hon. Lyndon A. Smith. Mr. Arthur V. Hall will read an original poem. There will be a piano solo with violin obligato by Abraham and Harry Eurist. An eight hand piano number by Misses Ada Lewis, Mildred Shull, Albreta Bell and Adina Adams. Minnesota's great vocalist Mme. Addie Crawford Minor will render a soprana solo. The premier comedian Charles H. Miller and Company will give an original sketch. Rev G. W. Camp will offer the invocation of the others will pronounce the benediction. He will be furnished by the McColough orchestra. Sergt John W. Harper will preside. The addresses are to be short and the exercises are to begin promptly at 8:30 o'clock, if there is a corporal's guard in the house and every one is earnestly requested to be in his or her seat so that the program may be concluded promptly at 10:30 o'clock, when the grand march will take place and the supper will be served and the devotees of terpsichore be allowed to enjoy themselves. Miss Frances Willard McCray, the leading elucidationist of Grand Forks, N. D., will give a number. It is hoped the people generally will obtain their tickets from the patrons, a full list of whom may be found below, so that there will be no delay about entering the hall. The management reserves the right to refuse to admit any and all persons whose presence will be undesirable, and it is hoped that no such persons will present themselves at the hall and they will thus be spared the humiliation of being refused admission. A hint to the wise is sufficient. The price of the tickets is one dollar each, so one ticket will be admitted without a ticket. A ticket entitles the purchaser—if not an undesirable person—to admission to the hall, checking of wraps, supper, punch and the privilege of the floor for the grand promenade, without further expense whatever. The crowd will be large and the hall is in the heart of the city and in a building in which are many tenants and the people are requested to refrain from any undue exhibitions of exhuberance of spirits and enter and leave the building with as little noise and discomfort as possible, which promises to be quite large and select is under the management of the committees named below; A.

In connection with the celebration of the Fifthth Anniversary of Emancipation it is the intention of the proprietor of THE APEAL to issue a SOUVENIR EDITION, similar to those issued in 1910 and 1911 containing a full account of the celebration, cuts of prominent persons in the state and their homes and places of business, thus making it quite valuable to the race and all persons interested or represented therein. Any one wishing a cut, sketch, or to be represented in any way should communicate with or represent THE APEAL office at once. The time she and you must hurry.

Of Emancipation Under Auspices `of The Appeal, Booming.` The Twin Cities' celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Emancipation which is to be held under the auspices of THE APPEAL is assuming grand proportions which spell success. Eva and her friends along nicely and as the time draws on, grows more intense. A glimpse at the list of patrons in another column will satisfy the most skeptical that it will be a swell-grand affair. the celebration will be held in the beautiful Arcanum Hall in the Lowry T. H. W. T. FRANCIS, ESQ. Who Will Deliver an Address at the Emancipation Celebration at Arcanum Hall. building, corner Fourth and St. Peter streets, St. Paul, on Tuesday evening, September 30th. This hall will be remembered as the one in which the "Minnesota Graduates' Reception" was held on July 6, 1908, under the management of THE APPEAL man. It is a handsome hall, elegantly furnished, has dining rooms, reception rooms, smoking room, etc., and is the best hall that could be obtained in the city. There are entrances to the hall on Fourth street near St. Peter and on St. Peter between Fourth and Fifth streets, the main entrance of the building. The program for the occasion is being formulated and will be appropriate and attractive. Following the exercises will come the dancing and supper. FRIENDS AND FELLOW CITIZENS Owing to the fact that the Dixie Jubilee Singers have been engaged for the evening of Monday, September 22, at St. James A. M. E. church and that no change can be made in their booking, the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Emancipation to be given under auspices of THE APEAL will not occur on that date but will take place later in the month, perhaps the 30th. This will give more time for the preparations that are now under way to make the event the biggest and best ever. Everybody get ready for the time of their lives. N.

The leading society function of the week was the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary or Crystal Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Jose H. Sherwood at their charming residence 971 St. Anthony avenue, last Monday evening. The reception was from 8.30 to 11.30, during which time several hundred of the elite of the Twin Cities graced the handsome parlors, partook of the toothsome viands which were served and viewed the large number of magnificent presents which attested to the high esteem in which the houses are held throughout the United States. At the apportioned hour Rev. A. H. Lealtad gave a short talk appropriate to the occasion, Mrs. Edna Ketchum sang a beautiful solo to an accompaniment by Miss Alberta Bell. The host was assisted by Mesdames Glenora Lewis, F. D. Green, J. W Kelly, O. Lobbins, Oliver Taylor, Viola Showell, Mnneapolis, and E. F. Alley, Chicago. Messrs. Orcus Lobbins, Fred Gossard, George Wills served refreshments. Messrs Lyall, Cora Cuthbert served punch. Taken altogether it was a most delightful fair which was highly enjoyed by all who were present. FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM CELE BRATION. Some one has sagely said, "Let me know my man's entertainment and I know my man." The character of entertainment promoted by, and participated in by St. Paul Afro-Americans has stamped them as a people who have grasped twentieth century civilization, and are worthy of its benefits. If the opinions of many discriminating people are sufficient evidence for judgment, the Fifty Years of Freedom Celebration presented at St. James A. M. E. church was the kind of entertainment that lets the world know that the emancipation of the slaves is a success. It matters little whether the affair was a financial success. Success in such a case can not be measured by money. Symphony Orchestra, grand opera and the Saengerfest are all operated with deficits, but they are of invaluable worth to the education of a community. Gorgeous decorations, the Jubilee Singers, all cost much money "millionaire" designed the decorations. Few people in the world could have taken twice the material and done as well, none could have done better. It was an epic in flags, bunting, pennants, mottoes and streamers. To say glorious, gives vent to the feelings but does not express them. Mr. Miller donated the work. Manager Buckner of the Dixies was so overcome by the artistic display that he on paying Mr. Miller's incidental expenses. The managers of the celebration tried to express their appreciation by having a picture taken of the decorations, which will be preserved by many on postcards. Who was responsible for the celebration? If it was Orrington C. Hall's dream, it took a busy party of faithful workers to make that dream come true. "Col." Frederick D. Parker, right man in right place, was Chairman of the Day; Wm. T. Francis was Chairman of the Reception Committee; J. H. Dillingham, Chairman and J. E. Johnson Secretary Ticket Committee. Mrs. Mattle Ross Hall had charge the children's Flag Drill. eoB. Bowe, Photograph Committee; B. C. Archer, Wesley Kelly, Mrs. J. E. Mrs. F. D. Parker and many others attained to the refreshments; Law R. O. Loe, J. D. Tallero were the principal speakers; Prof. Collier of the Baptist College of Jacksonville, Fla. delivered a delightful impromptu address; Mrs. Georgeta Brown read the Emancipation lamination; and then the Dixies. They began with an oratorio and the people were pleased; they worked a while on old time jubilees and latter day rag and cheered; they finished with an exquisite rendition of grand opera selections and the congregation burst into a deafening aplause.
