Entered as second class matter June 4, 1885 at the postoffice at St. Paul, Manhasset, under act of Congress, March 3, 1885. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20 1913. It seems that there is at least one white man in the world who is of the opinion that the day is not far distant when the boasted superiority of the white man will only be a remembrance. Dr. A. Luce, who for 15 years has been a resident of China and is now president of the Presbyteria College at Shan Tung, China, addressed the students at Macalester College this week and among other things said: "In 100 years or less, because of the wealth of raw material, because of the wealth of manual labor, because of the fiber of the people, China will be the dominant nation of the world intellectually, politically and economically." It is a good thing that the Doctor was in Minnesota when he made this statement; had he been south of Mason and Dixon's line, there would have been a lynching. "What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." One of the strongest arguments used in favor of female suffrage is: "Women should have the ballot for their own protection." Granted. But how about the black men in the Southern states who are deprived of the ballot by the "grandfather clause," or some other equally outrageous and unAmerican subterfuge? Do they not need protection? Minnesota's junior United States Senator, Moses E. Clapp, is all right. In a speech before the National Woman Suffrage Association in Washington Thursday he said: "God never intended any race to be subservient to another. No more did He intend one sex to be in political or economic bondage to another." We are willing to accept the entire statement just as it stands. "She threw the Thanksgiving turkey out of the window, the gravy on my new suit and the mince pie in my face," said a candidate for divorce. Now, we appeal to all our brethren, he was not justified in his actions? As an old German friend says, too much is plenty. The employers of the United Kingdom are forming a new union and propose to raise a guarantee fund of $2,500,000 in order to protect themselves against strike movements by the trade unions and other labor organizations. Certainly a good move for the biggest trust on earth is the labor union as it now is. Mrs. Emmaline Pankhurst is having a tough time since her return to dear old Lunnon and she will, very likely, have to separate herself from many of the $20,000 of American money she accumulated during her short stay in this country before her troubles cease. Four of the white men who mobbed and shot to death an Afro-American at Greeley, Iowa, a couple of weeks ago have been arrested and charged with murder—of which they unquestionably are guilty—whether their punishment will fit the crime remains to be seen. Prof. Eric Doolittle, of the University of Pennsylvania says that the time will come when all the people on the earth will die of cold. But as he fixes the date at A. D. 15001913, we should worry. A man died recently in New York aged 90 years. He was unknown generally to New Yorkers, but owned $25,000,000 in Manhattan realty. How he kept out of the limelight is a mystery. King Menelik of Abyssinia is again reported to be dead, but he seems to have as many lives as a cat and the rumor lacks confirmation. NO COLOR LINE In the Jean Martin Brown Receiving Home, St. Anthony Park. A short time ago the Men's Union League sent notices to the several societies and churches, asking for a room in the aid in refurnishing the room in which the deceiving Home which was originally furnished by the Afro-Americans of Minnesota at a cost of several hundreds of dollars. Something like $150.00 will be needed. One started rumor that the color line is the institution and this had a tendency to stop the donations. But such is not the case, it was inserted in the deed when Mr. Joseph Elsinger gave the ground to the Association, that there were to be no associations or distinctions on account of color. The following letter from the superintendent will settle that phase of the case as well as settle the cause for the rumor to start. Office of The Children's Home Society of Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn. Dec. 15, 1913. Dr. V. D. Turner, 2 E. 7th St., City-. My dear Dr. Turner: In regard to the Ericson baby, I am very much grieved that there should have been any misunderstanding with regard to the reason why it was not taken into this Home. In order that all our friends may understand the facts in the case I am writing you this letter. Baby Ericson was brought to us January 28th by the mother, she represented that she would like to be in the inasmuch as the father of the child was a colored man and the mother a white woman, her husband objected and declared he would not have it in the house. Inasmuch as the mother had gone to her home in Wisconsin, for the sake of peace in the family, we took the child in until the mother could learn to and return the assignment, but transfer the child to the society. In due time the mother returned but said to us that she wanted to keep the child and wished to board it. I told her that our rule was that we should not be using as that to board as we did not in any case, no matter what the color. It then occurred to me that the Home for colored aged people and children for the sick might be able to take it in. I called the 'phone and received what appeared to be a very cheerful consent to take it and care for it, and that I would be there in the case so far as we are concerned; I have heard nothing from it since. But I wish to say that in no case have we ever discriminated against any child because of its color or nationality. During my superintendency we had a colored child in the home for a greater part of the time. The last one was placed last summer in a very desirable home in Minneapolis. We were not sure whether nor would we expect to have the support of fairminded people if we drew the color line; in fact, my personal sympathies have always been very warm toward the colored people. I was not sure how many times in both cities and I might say that my mother took into her home a colored girl about seven years old as her own daughter and kept her until she was married. This will give you an idea of how much the subject. The history of the Society has continuously from the first been kindly toward the colored people of St. Paul, who so generously furried us in the building and are now purposeing certain improvements and repairs. Please use this letter in any way to relieve any impression that may have gone around that we had no zoom for the little Eric baby in question as the above facts will show our action was altogether honorable in action and we thought was for the best interests of the child. As a matter of fact, no children are received in the Home except for adoption, and none under three months of age. It is hoped the people will respond when called upon to aid in returnship, and which we all may be justly proud—Edith. MERRY CHRISTMAS The First Christmas The First Christmas It often has been stated that the birth of Christ must have occurred four years before the date fixed on for the current chronology and that it is probable the event befall at some other time in the year than a few days after the winter solstice. The reason for the confident assertion is the ascertaining of the fact that Herod died about four years B.C. The basis of this supposition is the report that at the time of the birth of Christ "there were shepherds abiding in the field, watching their flocks by a glacier of Bethlehem on the latitude of Bethlehem the shortest day. That is the height of the rainy season in Judea, and the date does not appear to have been observed generally before the fifth century. Many students of Biblical history have argued that the story about the star of Bethlehem points to a date for the Nativity not later than May 8, B. C. 6. On that date the planets Venus and Jupiter were so closely in conjunction as seen from the earth that the apparent distance between them was equal only to the breadth of the full moon. These planets were © BACCHA THE STAR OF BETHELHEN. they visible in the east a couple of hours before sunrise and must have produced a strikingly beautiful appearance and have been spoken of as one object. That was about fifty days less than two years before the death of Herod, a fact which harmonizes well with other conditions of the narrative, for it is probable that the mandate for the slaughter of all the children two years old and under was issued some months before his decease, and the limit of two years would leave an ample margin for any uncertainty as to the time of the appearance of the car, as related by the mage; also there was a period of two years between the years B. C. 6 and A. D. 33 and no other following that till A. D. 60. From this it would seem to follow that Christ was thirty-eight years old at the time of the crucifixion, and this would vindicate the sagacity of the Jewish doctors who affirmed that he was not yet fifty (forty?) years old. It is remarked, too, that in the spring of the same year there was a triple conjunction of planets—Saturn, Jupiter and Mars—and that the first two were from the earth no less than three times in the year preceding—that is R. B. C. 7. Another theory about the star of Bethlehem which has been advanced is that the star seen by the magist is Splica, the leading brilliant in the constellation of Virgo, the Virgin. For many years before and after the Christian era the star was changing in appearance to a "star in the east," and its movement in that direction may have been the very fact noticed by the wise men of some centuries preceding who expected that the prophecy about the Virgin would be fulfilled when its principal star reached the position noted. If this were so the visit of the magist from Bethlehem, in the far east, is easily explained by the explanation lying in the fact that such an important search as they undertook is noticed by only one out of the four evangelists. The uncertainty of the centuries in regard to the date of the Nativity in year and month may never be cleared up. its existence has been unfairly cited as reason for disbelieving the whole narration. The people of 2,000 years ago attached little importance to dates, except current ones, and it may be remembered that the destruction of the earth was the time of the Nativity and the writing of the gospels, at least in the shape in which it has come down to us. How to Wash Silk Blouse. When washing silk blouses never rub soap on them or rub the silk between the hands. Use soappads and put a little methylated spirit into the last rinsing water, as this gives a gloss to the silk. For tussle silk use bran water in place of soap. A pound of bran should be well watered two waters of water, strained and used for both the water and water. One part of water to three parts of the bran mixture will be found about the right proportion. THE STORY THAT NEVER GROWS OLD. Like the songs that are sung in the twilight. Like all tales that are tenderly old. Like the memories of loved ones that hallow our hearts. There's a story that never grows old. Lo! The angels first sing it in chorus. And the watchers with wonder behold Round the Christ Child of Bethlehem's cradle Are shears of apples of gold. And pictures of silver adorn every page. Of the story that never grows old. It gilds the hearts of all children. And shears of mannier mold Are happier, holier, better by far. For the story that never grows old. The Christmas Guest.

Bld. banned or begged come for guest My heart shall share his woes. On the floor shall rest To bless him ere he goes. (Oh, Mary, grant my son this night That blessing and repose!)

Ancestry of Santa WHAT is Santa Claus age? The jolly, roistering, pot-bellied, ever young old fellow that we know has made his appearance on earth in so many gusses that the secret of his first coming threats to remain forever velled in the midst of antiquity. No one can say with any certainty just when he first made his appearance among prehistoric men, for mery old Saxon one form or another delighted children's hearts in many a pagan household centuries before the commencement of the Christian era and prior to any recorded history. The name of Santa Claus, by which he is known in America, is the Dutch pet name for St. Nicholas. The name Kriss Krugle, by which he is known in England, is a corruption of Christ hilden or the Christ Child. But the festive or antiphilic Christmas existed long before the Christmas jolly god of good cheer appears as the personification of the period from the earlier pagan times. Now the Santa Claus of today is simply that old jolly god sobered up, washed and purified. The Dionysia of the Greeks, the Saturnalia of the Romans, the Twelve Nights of the old Norsemen and of the Teutons all celebrated the coming of the winter solstice. People then gave themselves up to all sorts of revelry and excess. In the Dionysia the representative figure was not the young Dionysus or Bacchus, but the aged, unreputable Silenus, the chief of the Satyricon drunkards. In the Saturnalia it was Saturn; in the Germanic feasts it was Thor, long bearded and white haired gods like Silenus. Now, although the central figure of the Christian festival is the child God, the Christ Kindlein, the influence of long pagan custom was too strong within the breasts of the early Christians to be easily superseded. The tradition of the Christian festival is the sentative of the dying year and its tendant jollifications still remained smoldering under the ashes of the past. It burst-into new fame when the past was too far back to be looked upon with the fear and antagonism of the church and there seemed no longer any danger of a relapse into paganism. At first, however, the more digressed Christians were more in keeping with the occasion. Saturn was unconscious rebaptized as St Nicholas, the name of the saint whose festival occurs in December and who as the patron of young people is especially fitted for the patronage of the festival which has come to be looked upon as especially that of the young. St Nicholas did not supersede the Christ Child in his Christmas travels, as, indeed, he still does in certain rural neighborhoods of Europe where the modern spirit has been least felt. St. Nicholas, according to the hagiologist, was a bishop of Myra, who flourished early in the fourth century. He is the patron of children and schoolboys. It is strange that everywhere St. Nicholas is most honored and his feast day is the day of the most famous pilgrims instructed among the common people know little of the legend of the saint. He is treated with that mixture of seriousness and frivolity which becomes a dying myth. In southern Germany and Austria a youth garbed as St. Nicholas and accompanied by two angels and a whole troop of devils in hideous masquerade, with blackened faces and clanking chains, on Dec. 5 (St. Nicholas' festal day) makes a round of certain houses where the little ones of the village have been collected. To the good chilliness of children, while the naughty ones are left to the devices of the satanic followers in his train. In many places the bugbear overshadows in importance both the Christ Child and St. Nicholas. He appears under different names and in different gulses. In Lower Austria he is the frightful Krampus, with his clanking chains and horrible devil's mask, who, notwithstanding his gilded nuts and apples, gingerbread and toys, which he carries in his basket, is the terror of the nursery. In Hanover, Holstein he carries in his basket as Chas. In Silesia his name is Joseph. Sometimes the bugbear was a female. In Lower Austria she was called the Budefrain. In Sunda it was the Berchtel who christified children, that did not spin diligently, with rods, but rewarded the industrious with dried pears, apples and nuts. The female bogy survives especially in Russia and in Italy. In the former place she is known as the Babouska. in the latter as the Befana. Befana is a corruption of Epiphania or Epiphany, for it is on Epiphany. Jan. 6, the italians make presents to their children in commemoration of the girls and the three wise men to Christ on that day. Logic and Metaphysics. Joaquin Miller was once conversing with a learned professor who was visiting California. To the poet's query, "What do you do?" the professor answered that he held the chair of metaphysics and logic at a New England university. Whereon he enunciated Miller, with an encouraging smile, reassuringly patted the professor on the shoulder. "Logic and metaphysics, eh? Well, I suppose we must have people to look after those things, even if they don't Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. Atlanta, Ga.

Now, it is stated on Army news that the Army has declared that Afro-Americans cannot rent the hall again. These same hoodlums and others of their ilk have brought the whole people into disrepute because of their disreputable actions. Those same hoodlums and others of their guard for decency or decorum have on many occasions in St. Paul, at the halls and churches, acted outragously, every one knows. They should be squelched. They should be barred from every public place until they are free to bring disgrace and deprivation upon the whole Afro-American population of the Twin Cities. The managers of public places should learn to know these disreputable men to any public meeting or place of pleasure. They must be squelched. Don't Forget!

COMMENTS OF CONTEMPORARIES AND OTHERS. On the Souvenir Edition issued by THE APPEAL Oct. 25th, In Commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Emancipation. In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation, the St. Paul Appeal has produced a special Mr. J. Q. Adams, City. My Dear Mr. Adams: I just received a copy of THE APPEAL, issued as a commemorative edition of the fiftieth anniversary of the penning of the emancipation proclamation and the whole paper is so incredible to the cause, as well as to the publisher, that I am sending you my hearty congratulations. The colored people of the Twin Cities, as well as of the entire northwest, have reason to feel proud of THE APPEAL and its editorial staff. Yours truly, JULIUS A. SCHMAHL, Secretary of State. November 7, 1913. Mr. J. Q. Adams, The Appeal, St. Paul, Minn My Dear Mr. Adams:— The special edition which you issued on October 25th, in commemoration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, is a creditable edition indeed—in fact the writer, having seen many special editions, considers this as good a one as he has ever had the pleasure of examining. The illustrations are particularly fine and you certainly deserve a great deal of commendation for this splendid edition. Very truly yours, George Sorenson, Manager of St. Paul Office American Press Association PROGRESS OF ST. PAUL AFRO-AMERICANS SHOWN. Special Edition of The Appeal a Compliment to Development of Race. A splendid illustrated special edition of THE APPEAL, the oldest and best known weekly paper in the Northwest, devoted to the interests of the colored race, appeared this week in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the issuance by Pres. Abraham Lincoln of his emancipation proclamation. The issue reflects great credit upon its publisher and editor, J. A. Adams, who is one of the earliest and best known Afro-Americans in St. Paul and one who has ever stood for the best interests of his race. The "new edition proclamation" number of THE APPEAL contains the address of Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D. Ph. D., Chicago, delivered at the recent Perry centennial, in which he told of the 109 dauntless colored heroes who fought in the famous naval battle of more progressive Negro citizens. It will be interesting to Savannahians. to learn that at the celebration, whose success was probably primarily due to the publicity which THE APPEAL gave the matter, Mr. W. T. Mitchell, a native of this city, who used to be plain "Mitch," was among the members of one of the prominent committees that had charge of the celebration. The Tribute congratulates THE APPEAL upon his interesting number.—Savannah Tribune. The Emancipation number of "The Appeal," published jointly at St. Paul and Minneapolis, displayed much energy and more brain on the part of our good friend, Editor J. E. Adams. We congratulate him and we have placed a copy in our library, to be used as a work of reference and study.—The Informer, Detroit, Mich. The Appeal, of Minneapolis and St. Paul, J. Q. Adams, Editor, arrived at our office this week. It was a special edition, devoted to the Half Century Emancipation Celebration. It was a magnificent product, a triumph of newspaper art and we regret that our many subscribers had not the opportunity of seeing what great accomplishments are being achieved by our people in the newspaper world. We congratulate the editor and staff of "The Appeal."—The Union, Cincinnati, O. We are in receipt of a copy of the recent souvenir edition of the St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, Appeal, and we can truthfully say that it is a fine commentary on the general newspaper John of its editor and publisher Mr. John Q. Adams. From a literary, lithographic and mechanical standpoint this issue of The Appeal claims a distinctive place in agro newspaperdom, and stamps it as a publication clearly abreast of the times.—The Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W. Va. This week the St. Paul, Minnesota, Appeal, a journal of many years' standing in the northwest, got out a special illustrated number last week containing the likenesses of some of the Twin City's good looking citizens, also the cuts of their business enterprises, both interior and exterior, and the cuts of their beautiful homes, which was truly a fine issue from every-viewpoint.
