MORGAN PEACE FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE New York Church Adopts Prayer, and It is Published in Annual Calendar. Notable Woman is Much Impressed With Beauties of Old Age—Ask That Undue Love of Life Be Taken Away. New York.—Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, widow of the widower, is so impressed with the beauty of old age and the need of showing special favor to those of advanced years that she has sent to the Rev, Karl Relland, rector of St George's Episcopal church, a special prayer for those who have passed, reached or nearly reached the allotted span of life. It is a prayer of the Episcopal communion, although not in the Book of Common Prayer. Mr. Relland was so impressed with Mrs. Morgan's letter and the prayer itself that he printed it in St George's Calendar, with this note: "Through the kindness of Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan a copy of the follow- MRS. J. P. MORGAN. ing prayer has been received, and we are very glad of the opportunity to print it. It is a prayer especially for those advanced in years." The prayer occasioned considerable comment, and many parishioners expressed a resolve to repeat it daily. The prayer is as follows: O God, our Heavenly Father, whose gift is length of days, help us to make the world a better place, and vancing years. According to our strength apportion thou our work. As thou hast pardoned our transgressions, sift the inwardness, grow dim and good may shine forth clearly. We bless thee for the gifts and especially for thy presence and the love of grant us new ties of friendship, new opportunities of service, joy in the growth and happiness of children, sympathy with the poor, and good in the clear thought and quiet faith. Teach us to bear infirmities with cheerful patience. Keep us from narrow pride in outgrowth of the world, and from the good of change, impatient judgments of the methods, impetiments of others. Let thy peace rule our spirits through all trials, and impetuous powers. Take from us all four of our hearts all deeds of undue love of life, that with glad hearts at rest in the wee that we swait thy will rest in parish through Jesus Christ, our Lord. J. P. M. Morgan accompanies his mother to the services and sits in the seat his father occupied for half a century. MARKET FOR COCKLEBURS. Farmer Makes a Shipment to Indian Doctor in Spokane. Russellville, Ark.-An express shipment of a peck of cockleburs consigned to Spokane, Wash., was the unusual product given the express company here by J. J. Deltrich, a Pope county farmer. The selling of cockleburs, which the shipper says are used by an Indian physician in Spokane in compounding a salve, is uncommon, the product being generally considered a nuisance. O. Henry, author of "Cabbages and Kings," once used the burs to good advantage in his fiction, a consignment of the burs being scattered over the streets of a small town in the torrid zone to compel the natives to buy shoes. LURE OF CITY KILLS FOX. Dazzled Reynard Fails to Look Out For the Cars. South Norwalk, Conn.-A fine specimen of red fox, usually the "foxties" of foxes, blinded by the headlight of a trolley car, was struck and cut in two here. The conductor, Harry Bouton, has claimed the bounty on the peit. The spot where the slaughter took place is in a short distance from the center of the city. BIG GAS WELL ON FARM. Tenned at a Depth of 350 Feet—Possible duces Five Million Feet Daily. Evanville, ind. - A well on the farm of George Hornby four miles north of this city, is producing 5,000,000 feet of gas a day, and experts say this would supply the entire city of Evanville. Hornby is drilling the well for water recently and struck gas at the depth of 350 feet. He at once called in W. J. Rodgers, an oil man, of this city, and they decided to keep the find a secret a few days until they could lease about 20,000 acres of land in that locality. Many oil and gas men are expected here to look over the field. Rodgers and other experts say the well on the Hornby farm is not a shale well and that conditions in the new field are similar to those in the Casey (III). field. It is expected other wells will be drilled, and Rodgers predicts that both gas and oil will be found in abundance. COW'S KICK CURES MAN. Stammered Badly Before Blow, but Now Talks Fluently. Redwood Falls, Minn. — A kicking cow which swung a foot against the throat of Gustave Reinfleish, a farm band, thirty years old, cured him of stammering. The blow made the man unconscious for several minutes, but when he regained his senses and attempted to say unkind to the cow he found he could do so without stuttering. Then his words became extreme praise of considerate "bossy" for he had stammered all his life and had spent all he could save in trying treatments he hoped would cure him of the impediment. Aside from brushes on his throat, Reinfleish did not suffer injury. WRONG MAN GETS MEDAL. Person Saved Receives the Carnegie Decoration and $1,000. Butte, Mont.-An odd mistake has been disclosed by the announcement of the Carnegie medal award, in which it appears that a rescued man is the recipient of a bronze medal and $1,000 of the needs it instead of the rescuer. To Roy Hubbard was awarded the recognition by the Carnegie hero commission. He was one of the unconscious men who John Lindquest, a former Marathon runner and well known athlete, rescued. Hubbard and another workman had fallen victims in a car accident attracted by a crowd in the street, descended and bore the unconscious men to safety as the crowd cheered. FINDS SISTER AFTER FOUR YEAR SEARCH Slager Rescucs Girl After Chase Across Continent. San Francisco. — A heartbreaking search for his little sister consumed four years of Louis Slager's life, took him from his home in New York city and 'launched him on a long, wearisome and what often seemed a hopeless quest. His search terminated here, where he met her for the first time in the four year interval and under dramatic circumstances. Slager four years ago vowed to his mother, who would devote his life to finding his sister, and one of the results of his efforts is the arrest of Jakub Wolborsky, member of an opera troupe. The girl's name is Lille Slager, and she was seventeen years old when she fled from New York. Wolborsky will be turned over to the federal authorities for possible deportation. Louis Slager is twenty-five years old. In the family four years ago were Slager, his widowed mother and his little sister, Lille. The girl is unusually interactive. Filled with sorrow and horror, Slager quit his employment and started in pursuit. When she saw her brother she cried out and rushed toward him. He caught her in his arms. Brother and sister went. INDIAN ORDAINED A PRIEST. Second of Race to Enter Ranks of American Clergy. Superior, Wls.-Philip B. Gordon, an Indian, has been ordained to the Catholic priesthood by Bishop Kondelika. He is the second of his race to be ordained in the United States. Rev. Albright Neganquet was ordained several years ago for the diocese of Oklahoma. Gordon's grandfather was Anton Gordon, one of the first settlers in this country. The town of Gordon was named in his honor. He was influential with Chief Hole-In-the-Day, and his counsel prevented an uprising of the Chippewa in 1862. Takes Army "Kids" Candy. Washington—Chocolate rations, long the mainstay of the army as an emergency diet, have been ordered withdrawn by Secretary of War Garrison. While its nutritive value is pronounced good Dr. C. F. Longworthy of the agricultural department has reported that it is "defective as to digestibility and therefore deleterious to the health of its consumers." THE APPEAL. FAVORS FEDERAL CONTROLOF WIRES MANY SUPPORT THE PLAN. Terms of Contracts With Government Would Make Purchase a Simple Matter and Companies Could Easily Be Forced to Bell-Success of Parcel Post Considered a Factor. Washington—Advocacy of government ownership of all telegraph and telephone lines; the introduction of a bill providing for such purchases by Uncle Sam; the action of the Bell Telephone system and Western Union Telegraph companies in voluntarily dissolving what the attorney general of the United States termed a trust, and the tremendous success of the parcel post system during the first year of its history have directed more attention toward the purchase of the wires than anything else in the history of the country. The measure has both supporters and opponents. President Wilson's declaration that he has never said one way or the other whether he favored the bill or not was interesting. For years the question has been agitated off and on, here and there, but no concrete action has ever before been taken. The purchase of the wires by the government would be a simple matter, provided, of course, the many millions necessary to buy the stock could be obtained. There is an old provision in the original franchises granted by the government to congress wishes at any time to buy the companies the directors will be forced to sell. These are the terms of the contracts with the government under which the companies are now operating. The price to be paid shall be determined by a board consisting of three men. M. $30,000 INSURANCE ON TREE. Fence Guards Alligator Pear Which Netted Owner $3206. Los Angeles, Cal.-The most valuable fruit tree in the world, an avocado, or alligator pear, the property of H. A. Woodworth, a Whittier rancher, has been insured for $80,000 by Lloyd's of London against fire or frost. The alligator pear fitted Mr. Woodworth $3,200 in fruit and bud wood, the latter being used in an effort to propagate other alligator pear trees. To protect his prize tree from mauraders Mr. Woodworth has built a lattice fence on thirty feet high 15,000,000 YEARS OF LIFE. Astronomical Authority Assets Sun Will Then Cool Off. Philadelphia — Replying to a question put by a clergyman at the weekly meeting of Presbyterian ministers, Professor Doollot the doctor of Pennsylvania's astronomical observatory, he thought that life on this earth would come to an end in about 15,000,000 years. Professor Doollot had been making an address on "Astronomy." In reference to the end of the earth's life he said: "Unless some supernatural power or being interferes or the earth comes in contact with another planet or heavenly body the earth will exist for 15,000,000 more years." Dependent upon the sun for its heat and light, although the earth now contains some heat itself. When the sun eventually cools of the result will be darkness and cold, which will bring an end to all life, animal and vegetable." "25 EARLY ENOUGH TO WED." Grandmother, Thirty-two. Say it's a Sin to Let Children Marry. Boston—Mrs. John T. Russell of Malden, Mason, who has just passed her thirty-second birthday and is probably the youngest grandmother in this state, opticsizes the early marriage law which allows persons under twenty-five years of age to wed. "It is a sin." says Mrs. Russell, "to allow children to enter into the bonds of marriage when they are distinctly incompetent to raise children. About twenty-five years is the right age for young people to think of marriage. Then the young man has secured the foothold in his profession or business and is able to support a wife." Mrs. Russell became a grandmother fourteen months ago, when her son John Clifford Russell, seventeen years old, became a father. The son was married when fifteen years old and Mrs. Russell was married at sixteen. MANY HOGS TUBERCULAR. Twenty Per Cent of Those Slaughtered at Madison, Wis. Madison, Wis. - Twenty per cent of the average lot of hogs brought to slaughter are tuberculous, according to a statement by Dr. M. F. Ravenel, professor of bacteriology of the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Ravenel has made a careful examination of conditions in slaughter and makes known the conclusions in a detailed report. He states that hogs do not develop the disease within themselves, but contract it by feeding on the byproducts of cremeries and following tuberculous cattle. TALKING BANKNOTE A NEW INVENTION Edges of Paper So Cut as to Make Phonographic Record. Edges of Paper So Cut as to Make Phonographic Record. Sutton, Surrey, England.—An invention that might prove useful in the makeup of the new American issue of bills and banknotes has lately been brought to a high state of perfection by a Sutton engineer. Alfred E. Bawtree. Mr. Bawtree's device is a machine which will so cut the edge of a banknote as to make it a veritable photograph record, capable of talking and stating its denomination. Put as simply as possible, the method employed in making the "talking banknote," which, Mr. Bawtree says, will defy the machinations of the counterfeiter, is this: The sound form of two syllables, like "dollar," "dity," "hundred," is first photographed by an ingenious process upon a film, making a jagged line of about the length of a bone. By a photo-mechanical process this jagged line, which is really a little record of the words spoken, is cut on a zinc plate, and from this mold a steel cutting knife of the required shape and design is obtained. With this knife the edges of bills and notes may be cut, and each serrated edge is a reproduction of the sound form required. When the bills so treated are passed through the specially designed photographic reproducer, which is a part of the invention, they can be heard crying their values. Mr. Bawtree says: "With this machine people can safeguard themselves against receiving forged notes. It would be practically impossible for a forger to imitate the serrated edge of a note which talks." WIND TO LIGHT LONG NIGHT. Episcopal Mission Will Harness Alaska kan Gales. Philadelphia. The winds that blow in northern Alaska are to be harnessed to light up the long polar night in the cause of religion. Bishop P. T. Rowe at the Diocece of Alaska has authorized Dr. W. E. S. Temple, head of the electrical engineering department of the University of Pennsylvania, to design and build an electric light plant, operated by a windmill, for use of the Episcopal mission at Point Hope, Alaska. Point Hope is more than 100 miles north of the arctic circle, where the polar night continues several months each year. Defective Page NORRIS ATTACKS GREAT FORTUNES Senator Assails Astor and Carnegie in Speech. TARIFF RIDER DEFEATED. Proposed to Levy 75 Per Cent Tax on All Inheritances of $50,000,000 or More—Outlines His Reasons For Believing Amendment Was A Good One—Defeated by Decisive Vote. Washington—The names of Vincent Astor, Andrew Carnegie and other men of great wealth figured in a discussion in the senate on the subject of swollen fortunes. Several very unkind things were said about the laird of Skibo and the means which he had adopted to distribute his fortune. The discussion came up on an amendment to the tariff bill offered by Senator Norris of Nebraska. It provided for a graduated inheritance tax. The tax starts at 1 per cent on inheritances of $50,000 and is graduated rapidly upward to a proposed levy of 75 per cent on inheritances of more than $50,000,000. The Norris amendment was defeated by an overwhelming vote. Senator Norris said in speaking of his amendment: "To illustrate the working out of this amendment I wish to take the estate of John Jacob Astor. Let me say right here that I have nothing against any of the Astors or any of their predecessors or any of those who live now. As far as I know none of them has ever done a dishonorable act in the acquisition of a dishonorable act." "As far as I know the present young Mr. Astor is perfectly honorable, perfectly honest and has not done anything to secure his fortune that is illegal, disreputable, unfair or dishonest. When his father, John Jacob Astor, SENATOR NORRIB. went down in the Titanic he left an estate, speaking in round numbers, valued at about $90,000,000. "I am informed by the officials in New York city that this estate represents the increase in value of an original investment—a great many years ago, of course—of less than $2,000,000 and that all of this immense time has been brought about by the increase in value of real estate, principally on Manhattan island, in which for all these years the estate has been invested. "With an investment, let us say—and it is liberal, as I understand it—of $2,000,000 years ago made by the original Astor, the estate has grown until at this death of John Jacob Astor it amounted to $90,000,000. During all those years, for several generations, the Astors have really done nothing except to see the estate grow and become more valuable and to live in luxury off its income. "This property, originally worth $2,000,000, now worth $90,000,000, has been made valuable by the public. Every man who ever paid taxes in New York has contributed something toward its value. Every man who ever erected a building on Manhattan island, whether it was a mansion on Broadway or a humble cottage in the suburbs, has done something to make this estate greater. "Every man in the street who laid the paving blocks to the master minds that planned the giant showers which lift their heads up in the clouds, every one of them has contributed something to the Astors. Every drop of sweat that ever trickled down over the brow of labor on Manhattan island for a century has contributed its mite to the Astor fortune." "There is nothing unjust, Mr. President, there is nothing unfair in such a case, after the man who owned it has used it during his lifetime, for the government to say at his death, before he dies, that he is responsible to the people of the country have in reality made. We will levy a tax and give a portion of it back to the people."

Better Hours For Employees, Making Trains Safer. Washington.—"Violations of the law limiting the service of train employees on American railroads to sixteen consecutive hours go to the very heart of the efficiency and safety of train operation," said Charles C. McChord, commissioner, commenting upon a statement issued by the interstate commerce commission analyzing the monthly reports of interstate railroads on hours of service in the fiscal year ended June 10, 1913. Nearly 800,000 violations of the sixteen hour limit were reported by 269 railroads in the year. It must be remembered, however, that 251,111 men were employed in handling trains. It must result in the prosecutions instituted by the commission." The analysis points out, "the number of instances of excess service reported during the last six months, as compared with the corresponding figures for preceding years, has shown a marked reduction." THRUST INTO HAY FATAL. Royalist Hidden In Cart is Killed by Frontier Guard. Paris — A grim incident of the rising in Portugal was recently narrated by a French sculptor. A pessant cart filled with hay drew up at the Spanish-Portuguese frontier. The officials glanced into it. One, to satisfy himself, thrust his sword several times among the bundles. "Passon," he said carelessly. An instant later he uttered an exclamation of horror. Blood was tricking from the straw. The driver sprang from the cart and fled, followed by revolver shots from the customs officials. Overturning the cart, the officials found beneath the straw a dead man. The sword had passed through his heart as he lay hidden. He was a royalist leader trying to smuggle himself into Portugal. BITTEN BY BUG, BEGS BALM. Passenger Asks $10,000 For InCIDent in Sleeping Car. Milwaukee, Wis. — Samuel Cohn of Milwaukee, who arrived from the west recently, has sued for $10,000 because he was bitten by an insect in a railroad sleeper. The defendant in the suit is the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road, and the case will be tried in Montana, where the "offense" is alleged to have been committed. When Cohn arrived in Milwaukee he carried one arm in a sling, and he claimed in making his complaint to the company that he had been made so ill that his business was interfered with and that the mental and physical anguish resultant was worth $10,000. HEROISM AS A BOY FREES LIFE CONVICT Friend Whose Life Was Twice Saved Pays Debt. Bloomington, Ill.-After serving ten years for murder Herbert C. Galleghugh of Chenoa, this county, is a free man. Galleghugh is the only son of Dr. and Galleghugh. He left that place sixteen ago and in Minnesota worked on a railroad. One day, while on the road, his wife was insulted by a negro. Upon his return, aroused by the sneering manner of the negro, he shot him dead. Galleghugh was arrested and charged with murder. He made a strong plea of self defense, but was sentenced to the prison at Stillwater, Minn. for his The sentence was a shock to his family and friends. His parents, wife and friends have always accepted the plea of self defense and believed that he did what any other self respecting man would have done. Among those active in his behalf was W. B. Clooney, passenger agent for the Chicago and Alton in Bloomington. The two had been playmates to Galleghugh twice saved the life of Clocheugh. When the case reached the board, comprising the governor, attorney general and chief justice of Minnesota, they unanimously voted to release Galleghugh. He was granted an unconditional pardon. LAMP SHEDS PINK GLOW. Neon Gas Appliance is Suitable For Milady's Dainty Boudin. London—Much discussion is going on concerning the new neon lamp, which gives out a beautiful rose-pink color peculiarly suitable for bondors and tea rooms. Neon, which is an atmospheric gas, was discovered by the English scientist, Sir William Ramsay. It is said to possess the property of allowing an electric current to traverse it under certain conditions of pressure and temperature and of turning a large proportion of it into the rose-pink light. Tooth a Foot Long. Seattle—The skeleton of a mammoth was uncovered by workmen sludging the excavation for the municipal stadium in West Seattle. The bones were found 150 feet below the top of the himb imbedded in a clay bank. One tooth measured twelve inches long, eight inches wide at the base, six inches wide at the top and three inches thick $2.40 PER YEAR WOMEN SKILLFUL AS AIR PILOTS Many Successful Aviators of Today Are Females. TELL OF THEIR SENSATIONS First Lady to Fly in an Aeroplane Was a Ghent Woman Who Accompanied Farman—Since That Time Many Others Have Gained Fame by Feats in Air. London.—The issuing of a manifesto by the Women's Aerial league, initiating a national crusade for the provision of aerial weapons, recalls the fact that the first woman who ever ascended in an aeroplane is believed to be a Ghent lady, who accompanied Henry Farman on a flight outside her own city in 1908. The first certificated woman pilot in the world was the Baroness de la Roche, who, after breaking her shoulder by running into a clump of poplar trees during practice, obtained her breast at Hellopolis, going thence to S. Peregrine, where the ear personally congratulated her upon her skill. In July, 1911, while she was leading in a big race in France the Nautic漯 suddenly dropped to the earth like a stone. Her life was despaired, but after a long convalescence she began flying again in February, 1912. Exactly who was the first Englishwoman to fly in an aeroplane is uncertain, but the honor lies between Mrs. S. F. Cody, wife of the pioneer aeroplankton, and Miss Bacon, daughter of the well known balloonist. The former made several flights with her hus- Photos by American Press Association.

"K. is," says Miss Bacon, "a glorious buoyant sensation without a parallel and therefore indescribable, but it is prominent among British lady aviators is Mrs. Maurice Hewlett, wife of the popular novellist. Mrs. Hewlett holds the record of being the only mother in the world who has taught her own son to fly. He is Lieutenant F. E. T. Hewlett, R. N. who gained his brevet last year. Mrs. Hewlett holds the view that in a few years women will be starting off in their aeroplanes just as unconcernedly as they do now in their motors. "The first time I went on an aeroplane," Mrs. Hewlett says, "I quite imagined it was stationary. The sensation was greater than any I have ever experienced. At first I have a little bit afraid, but the performance actually had the effect of strengthening my nerves." To the more man on the street such a nightlight on first appear quixotic, but this Trebwek who, has crossed the channel in an aeroplane more often than any other way, pays aviation a similar compliment. Unique in its way is the entrance of Miss Mathlee Moisant into aviation. According to all traditions, this charming American should dread the very thought of aerial navigation, as her brother was dashed to death in her presence while flying in December, 1910. Though small in stature, Miss Moisant is big in spirit. Some time ago the police were informed that she had been flying on a Sunday and set out to apprehend her for contravening a state bylaw. But they reckoned with their host. Just as the representatives of the law have in sight Miss Moisant started her engine and cleared off into the air out of their turfiction. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

SATURDAY, JANUARY 3. 1914. THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy PROTEST AGAINST WRONG.

The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." JUSTICE, NOT OFFICES. The Detroit Informer comes out in defense of President Wilson and thinks that the Anti-Segregation Delegation which presented a monster petition bearing the signatures of 20,000 Afro-Americans acted hastily. The Informer further says that there "are other questions of more importance pending engrossing his (the President's) attention than the appointment of members of the race to office." THE APPEAL believes that it is always right to protest against wrong and injustice and the time to protest is when the wrongs and injustices are being perpetrated. The President is the head of the Nation and he does not need the assistance of a single person to stop segregation. It would not matter if every member of Congress objected to his decision, a single word from him would stop it instantly. THE APPEAL has read the petition, Mr. Trotter's speech as chairman of the delegation, and all the matter pertaining to the petition and there is not one word about the appointment of Afro-Americans to office. The object of the petition is to end a condition of affairs which is a disgrace to a country which calls itself a Christian democracy. The Informer seems to be very much worried about appointment to office but that is of little consequence in comparison to the greater question whether caste is to be introduced into this country and if Afro-Americans are to be appointed to office with the understanding that they are to segregate their employees THE APPEAL does not hesitate to say that a colored man who would accept any appointment with such conditions attached would be lower than the vilest reptile that crawls upon the earth. It is of course proper then that President Wilson should give the Afro-American representation in presidential offices and that matter should be taken up later, but the matter now in hand is segregation and that is the matter to be handled first. The 20,000 Afro-Americans who have joined together to agitate this question of inequality and wrong are fighting for a great principle. We want justice, not onces. 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 16 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. THE APPEAL reprints in this issue a portion of the article on "The President and Segregation at Washington," which appeared in the North American Review for December. In it Oswald Garrison Villard, the author, who is a grandson of the great abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, takes the Wilson Administration to task for the great injustice of trying to establish caste in the republic. Every reader of THE APPEAL ought to purchase a copy of the North American Review, read the RACE PREJUDICE. I am convinced myself, evil thing in this present justice; none at all.

I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox. entire article and preserve the copy for his children's children to read. "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, was he not justified in his actions? As an old German friend says, too much is plenty. 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. --- A writer in one of the papers says that the spirit of Chicago is wanted in the South. He of course referred to the hustle and bustle of the great city. It might be well also to take along a little of the freedom from race prejudice so creditable to the city. The American Medical Association has sent out a warning that the tango and other modern dances are dangerous to health and morals. We'll bet a cookie that they will keep on dancing them just the same and take chances. 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. Nero and His Voice The Emperor Nero took remarkable care of his voice. At night, Nero lay on his back, with a thin plate of lead on his stomach. He abstained from fruits and all dishes which could hurt his voice. In order not to damage the purity of its sound he ceased barring the soldiers and the senate. He attached to his service an officer specially deputed to take care of his voice. He talked only in the presence of this singular official, who warned him when he spoke too loudly or forced his voice, and if the emperor, carried away by some sudden bit of passion, did not listen to his remonstrances it was his duty to stop his mouth with a napkin—Modern Medicine. self that there is no more cont world than Race Pre- write deliberately—it is in life now.

SCORES SEGREGATION Oswald Garrison Villard, Grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, Writes a Strong Article for the North American Review, in Which He Takes President Wilson to Task for His Administration's Injustice to Afro-Americans. "It is as if the Great Government of the United States had Gone Out of Its Way to Stamp Them Publicly as Lepers, as Physically and Morally Contagious and Unfit for Association with White People. "Wittingly or Unwittingly the Wilson Administration has Allied Itself with the Forces of Reaction, and Put Itself on the Side of Every Oppressor, of Every Perpetrator of Racial Injustice in the South or the North. "To Suppress Any Group of Human Beings, or to Deny Them Full Equality is to Court Disaster. For Each Depression There is Certain to Come a Tremble Reconing." On October 16, 1912, Woodrow Wilson son, then the Democratic nominee for President, declared that: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair deal with everything by which I could assist them in gaining the ests of their race in the United States." This utterance gave complete satisfaction to those leaders of the colored people and the friends of the people, were arguing to break away from the main party into the Republican party and to vote for the Governor of New Jersey on the ground that the country would profit most by the election of the Democrat. Qualified observers believe that many more colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. gone to their colored associates and expressed their complete dissent from President, declared that: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair deal with everything by which I could assist them in gaining the ests of their race in the United States." This utterance gave complete satisfaction to those leaders of the colored people and the friends of the people, were arguing to break away from the main party into the Republican party and to vote for the Governor of New Jersey on the ground that the country would profit most by the election of the Democrat. Qualified observers believe that many more colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. It was with dismay, therefore, that early in the Administration of Mr. Wilson, whose Cabinet is equally divided between Southerners and Northerners, there became noticeable in certain quarters a distinct hostility among the people. For a long time no apportionment was made by the President. Then he nominated Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma for the position of Registrar of the Treasury, a place long held by colored men. Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from the violent negrophobes in the Senate; Senatewoman Georgia, Vardaman of Mississippi, Tillman of South Carolina, and others, declaring that Patterson should not be confirmed, or any other colored man, for an office which would put him over white women clerks. With abject cowardice Patterson rushed to the Senate, and demanded that his name be withheld during a meeting at this time to meet the issue raised, Mr. Wilson consented to his request, unlike Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, who, under similar circumstances, put the responsibility on the Senate by continuing to nominate Presidents for office and by giving them access when the Senate was not in session. Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cherokee Indian as Register. * * * * When a group of citizens holds so few Federal offices as do the colored people, each one takes on a significance far beyond any question of the salary or powers that may be attached to. This is particularly true of the posts of the Postmaster and San Domingo. Not one of the Southern objections to Negro appointments holds here; these ministers are accredited to colored people where the bogie of social equality cannot be raised. Under Mr. Wilson both of these posts have gone, temporarily, to the White House for reasons satisfactory to Mr. Bryan, men. The colored people at large accepted this as notice from the White House that the remaining offices hereforegiven to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this was, on top of it came the startling fact that the time in the history of the Federal race prejudice was having full swing in some of the Departments at Washington. What had not been of under Mr. Cleveland, though begun in one office under Mr. Taft, was being attempted under Mr. Wilson—the men and women, both men and women, it appeared. A retardy of the Treasury had planned to put Patterson at the head of an exclusively colored division upon the plea to use Mr. McDadoo's own words—"that it would give the Negroes an opportunity of national dimensions, to the fitness to run, unadied by whites, and to the fitness to run, unadied by whites, and to the Department." Just why this benefit undertaking was dropped as soon as it appeared that an Indian and not a colored man was to head the division has not appeared; if it had all the merit claimed for it, the colored man could not have been deprived of the opportunity of constructing their worth, which, in the individual, has long been known to all familiar with the Government's operations. Careful inquiry by a representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and by newspaper men of the standing of Washington correspondents of the New York Evening Post and Boston Crieriser, has developed the fact that exists and is increasing, especially in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, in the Post-Office Department, and in the office of the Auditor for the Post-Office, which is a part of the Treasury Department, and that it has been in the Washington city post-office since 1870 and been introduced in the Treasury Building, where there are two hundred and seventy colored employees in the corridors and offices together with white clerks. It is defended by Mc.Maido as "an effort to remove causes of complaint and friction where white women have been forced unconscious in the office of the clerks." But there is no statement that there have been many such complaints or that they were heard of under previous Administrations. Nor is it explained why colored clerks are taken out of rooms in which their sole companions are white men, or why, if they were white men, the government does not segregate all its women clerks. Nor does Mr. Mc.Maido record the fact that in many instances the white clerks, without respect to sex, have They rightly declare—as must every fair-minded man free from prejudice—that this spells caste. They believe that it is intended to drive them out of the public service by renaming them to be self-respect; they assert that one of the Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury has already held up the promotion of two colored clerks because of their color. Segregation is, beyond doubt, an entering wedge, and here is the chief significance of it all. Let us consider the case of a clerk shall say what the outcome will be, to what lengths despotic officials will take their way by means of discrimination, intimidation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall prophesy to what extent this caste idea may not be developed in the decryption of the code shall be set apart contrary to the spirit of the civil-service law and of the Constitution itself, why not others—Jews, for instance? * * * * * * * * * Indeed, it may come to pass that Mr. Wilson will go down to history as the man who set in motion terrible forces that would not adequate compulsion or provision of the dangers he was inviting. And his philosophy, if he remains silent and segregates further, will be wrong, his democracy gravely, at fault; he has given us the right to vote, but he has not his book called "The New Freedom, and in his various speeches prior and since his election to the Pres- dency. But nowhere thus far do we find any indication that his democracy against any one is to bring his whole carefully reared edifice crashing to the ground. The principles upon which our democracy rests must be carefully reared, in an exact invention, as exactly as a law of science, or they are open to doubt at once. Thus, we should not believe in the law of gravitation if it did not apply alike to every human being; we should not be forced to believe in the law of wireless invention if he could transmit only the first half of the alphabet and not the last. It avails the apologists for the President not at all to say that "The New Freedom" applies only to political and economic prob- lem but an economic and political (Continued on Fourth Page) Knowles Building.

Interment in the German Lutheran cemetery, Lyles undertaker. Mr. Robert Jackson, a bachelor farmer, living on his 160-acre farm four and a half miles from Bismarck, N. D. was in the city a few days, buying some cattle to stock up with. He bought 52 head for which he paid $1,000. He bought 300-acre farm near Lemon, S. D, upon which he has a good tenant. He wishes a housekeeper or cook to go to his farm and was looking about for one. He gave THE APEAL a very pleasant call and made a very favorable impression. It is a great pity that we have not more young men like him to work on the farm, a good condition we are placed in by prejudice and says if some of us would go out where he is we could get rid of a lot of it if we made good. Mr. Samuel Hatcher, of Union Block, had a very close call yesterday about 1:30 o'clock. He was compelled, by circumstances, to do double duty as janitor and elevator man and as his wife is absent from the city he was over the wind blow out the gas in his vore and when he went into his rooms on the fifth floor he undertook to light the stove, when an explosion occurred, completely wrecking the stove and blew out most of the window panes in both rooms. Fortunately he was standing at the end of the room, which he had climbed. Had he been in front of the stove there is no telling what would have happened to him. It is strange that the room was not set on fire, but beyond the damage done by the explosion not other damage was done. SQUELCH THE HOODLUMS. Before They Have Us All Squelched In Public Places. It will be remembered that the last entertainment of the Young Men's Progressive Club of Minneapolis was given in the National Guard Armory and everything went on smoothly until some hoodum youths of St. Paul made trouble. Now, it is stated on paper that they may have been the Army has declared that Afro-Americans cannot rent the hall again. The managers of public places should learn to know these disreputables and refuse to admit them to any public meeting or place of pleasure. These same hoodums and others of their likk have brought the whole population to disreputable actions. These same hoodums or others who have no regard for decency or decorum have or many occasions in St. Paul, at the halls and churches, acted outrageously. every one knows. They should be squashed. Every public place has been learned to behave themselves and not bring disgrace and deprivation upon the whole Afro-American population of the Twin Cities. The sixth annual hall of Feezan Temple No. 26, Noblese of the Mystic Shrine, which was given at Sherman Hall Monday night, was a most delightful affair in every way. There was a gowned ladies and gallant women in full dress shoes, and red and white fezzes were very much in evidence. The oasis with its bountiful supply of imported "camel's milk" was one of the most attractive features. The programs were a pleasing novel in character, and the leaves on which the order of dances, committees, etc. were printed. The McCullough Orchestra furnished the music. The committee of arrangements for the splendid affair consisted of Messrs. R. M. Johnson, chairman, W. F. Chandler, W. R. Johnson, G. W. Edwards, W. R. Moris, W. F. T. Chandler, W. D. Gamble, C. L.

A Cause of Deafness. Hardened wax in the ear is a very common cause of deafness in middle aged and old people. The following method of removal will be found both safe and efficient. Place the ear at night drop one drop of warm olive oil into the ear and then put in a loose plug of cotton wool. In the morning syringe the ear well with a warm solution of boracic acid, ten grains of the acid to the ounce of hot water. After the syringing put in a fresh plug of cotton wool and leave it in the ear throughout the day to prevent chill. If the ear still covered up with wax repeat the whole process at night. Above all things, never attempt to scrape out wax with any hard, sharp object, as there is always risk of rupturing the eardrum or setting up chronic inflammation. OATH FOR AFRO-AMERICAN YOUTH. I will never bring disgrace upon my race by any unworthy deed or dishonorable act. I will live a clean, decent, manly life; and will ever respect and defend the virtue and honor of womanhood. I will uphold and obey the justice of my country; and will ever encourage which I live and will encourage others to do likewise: I will not allow prejudice, injustice, insult or outrage to cower my spirit or humiliate my soul; but will ever preserve the inner freedom of heart and conscience: I will not allow my body be overcome of evil; but will never come to me with good; I will endure to develop and exert the best powers within me for my own personal improvement; and will strive unceasingly to quicken the sense of racial duty and responsibility: I will in all these cases face a race so that to everyone bound to the ties of blood; it shall become a bond of ennoblement, and not a byword of reproach.

Glenn at Arcade Hall, was well attended and was a successful as well as a very enjoyable affair. The "Big Three" are some entertainers, if anybody should ask you. There was a real good time at the Twin City Stag Club New Years Eve night. Especially pleasing was the music and singing of Mr. and Mrs. Theonomial Mae Stewart. About 11:00 clock the dining hall was cleared and a dansante was inudled in until and after the birth of the New Year. Everybody present and that was not a few—were highly pleased. COMMENTS OF CONTEMPORARY IES AND OTHERS. On the Souvenir Edition issued by the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Fiftieth Anniversary of Emancipation. Mr. J. Q. Adams, City, My Dear Mr. Adams: I just received a copy of THE APEAL, issued as a commemorative edition of the fiftieth anniversary of the penning of the emancipation proclamation and the whole paper is so beautiful. 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. 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 made by people in the newspaper world. We congratulate the editor and staff of "The Appeal."—The Union, Cincinnati, O. Twin City Stag Club The announcement that the "Magnolia Nola Orchestra" would be heard in concert featuring Miss Gladys Sellars, the famous Milwaukee soprano was sufficient to fill the beautiful dining rooms of the Stewart Cake last summer. The crowd which gathered was a music loving one and good natured with all. Tables were crowded closer, extra chairs were brought and even standing room was offered—so that of the 200 who came to respects to the Magnolia Weaver's acclaimed musicians. None were disappointed. The Magnolia's are filling an engagement at the Gruenwall", a well known Minneapolis cafe. They come from a two year's engagement in Milwaukee, their filling contracts in Milwaukee they go east to Detroit, Chicago and other cities. Each member of the orchestra is not only an artist, excelling upon his especial instrument, but as a vocalist and entertainer, has a special role in the company. Before a critical audience of its own people the company was heard at its best and rendered a concert that won hearty and repeated effervescence. Morris, whose musical judgement is readily accepted declared that the programme was one of the best rendered he had ever heard. The delights of Stewarty's Mozart, the pleasurable perfect service, together with music of such high order, united to make an occasion gastronomically and intellectually perfect. Interspersed among a number of orchestra selections the following solo works are given: Tosca's Good Bye, Vocal, Miss Gladys Sellars; Rose Marse, Collo, Clarence Duncan; Last, Miss Gladys Sellars; For Solo, Vocal, Albert Smack; The Puller, Poman, Vocal, Chas, Scott; Don't Blame It All On Broadway, Vocal, Wm. Wm.; The Curse of an Aching Muster; The Curse of an Aching Heart, Vocal, Miss Gladys Sellars. SCORES SEGREGATION Continued from second page. one? It would certainly be ridiculous for Mr. Wilson, or his publishers, to expect any appreciative reading among the millions of disfranchised Americans, whether they be colored men and women or white men and women, of his theory of the control of a new political system, or very momentarily there is placed upon the cabinet by two of his own Cabinet an official stigma which no amount of appointing to office will remove. * * * * * * What Mr. McAdoo does not appreciate is that the slight- * * * * * But the folly of raising this race issue does not stop there. It differs but very little from the one that rent the Union. The great struggle which convulsed the nation was, in its simplest terms, nothing more than an attempt to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the free. They were willing to sacrifice the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the distranchised and enfranchised, that there shall be two kinds of Government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—they are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never know peace and quiet as long as there are distrctions among its citizens. Upon their behalf the responsibility of forcing the issue oppress any group of human beings, that them full equality, is to court disaster. For each repression there is certain to come a rebellioncking. MRS. MILLIE ALEXANDER. The Hair Manufacturer and Hair Dresser in St. Paul.
