The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or elique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. 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 Sell—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 Ursule 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 be 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 that if the congress at any time will 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. REPRESENTATIVE DAVID J. LEWIS. The companies are to name one, the government one, and these two shall select the third. Representative Lewis has introduced in the house a bill providing for the taking over of the wires by Uncle Sam. In introducing the bill Mr. Lewis said in part: Investigation discloses that our telegraphic rates are the highest among twenty countries, running from 20 cents to 14 cents, or about 12 cents, or a cent a word. The result is that we rank ninth as telegraphic users, with one and one-tenth telegraphic rates in New Zealand, with the twelve cent rate and our price and wage levels, the use of eight telegraphs as high as eight telegraphs a person. The telegraph service is a relatively declining institution, and it would be unreasonable to call it tall and long distance, telephone rates compare with those of other countries even less favorably than do our telegraph rates. The average interurban recharge averages 20 cents. The long distance rates here are made on a scale of 6 mills a mile, or three minute conversation as a mile by a mile of about 7 mills a mile by a mile for transporting a ton of freight. We are one of three countries where the subscribers' rates in American cities, compared with continental cities, are lower. For example, New York, where 5,400 calls, about fifteen a day, under a measured service tariff cost more than the four unlimited cities, more than the Paris, Berlin and Stockholm together. $30,000 INSURANCE ON TREE. Fence Guards Alligator Pear Which Netted Agent $3,206. 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. This insured mastardrilled Mt. Woodworth $3,206 in fruit and bud wood, the latter being used in an effort to propagate other alligator pear trees. To protect his prize tree from maudrands Mr. Woodworth has built a lath fence around it thirty feet high BIG GAS WELL ON FARM. Tapped at a Depth of 350 Feet—Produce Five Million Feet Daily. Evansville, 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 Evansville. Hornby was drilling the well for water recently and struck gas at the depth of 300 feet. He at once called in W. 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 things to the cow he found he could do so without stuttering. Then his words became extreme praise of considerate "boysy" 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 bruises oh 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 because he 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 whom John Lindquest, a former Marathon runner and well known athlete, rescued. Hubbard and another workman had fallen victims to gas in a gas pit, when Lindquest, 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 San Francisco. — A heartbreaking search for his little sister consumed four years of Louis Slager's life, took alm from his home in New York city and launched him on a long, wearish 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. He spent years ago vowed to his mother that he 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 protective. 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 wept. INDIAN ORDAINED A PRIEST. Second of Rice to Enter Ranks of American Clergy. Superior, Wisa.-Phillip B. Gordon, an Indian, has been ordained to the Catholic priesthood by Bishop Kondelka. 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 one who Gordon was named in his honor.

CITIZENS ICE & FUEL COMPANY CITIZENS ICE & FUEL COMPANY Ice House of Citizens Ice and Fuel Company on Lake Vadnais, Now in Course of Construction. $50,000 Citizens Ice and Fuel Company This company offers $50,000 of its Capital Stock, par value $50 per share, for immediate delivery. Applications received for share reservations at the offices of the company, No. 8 West Fourth street, St. Paul, Minn., beginning January 2, 1914. Subscriptions will be accepted for one or more shares, payable in five installments. The authorized Capital Stock of the Citizens Ice and Fuel company is $50,000. It is the aim and purpose of this company to give the St. Paul investing public the first opportunity of taking advantage of its share offerings and it now invites public subscription to this block of stock. This issue is made to provide for the completion of our ice houses and the purchase of additional equipment, such as horses, wagons, trucks, etc. The Citizens Ice and Fuel company is an independent St. Paul company which has now been in existence about three months. Its business is dealing in Ice and Fuel—two very important public necessities. It has a twenty-year franchise from the City of St. Paul, which gives it the exclusive right to harvest its ice on Lake Vadnais, owned by the City of St. Paul. The harvesting of ice from this lake is under the supervision of the City Water and Health departments, thus insuring absolutely pure ice to the consumer at a nonprohibitive price. There is room and necessity for a competitive ice company in St. Paul. The Citizens Ice and Fuel company is founded and run on sound business principles. It is now constructing one of the main ice houses at Lake Vadnais and will have all necessary storage facilities complete in good season for this year's ice harvest. The Citizens Ice and Fuel company took over the business of the Womack-Fooshe Coal company, October 1st, 1913. The Fuel department is gaining in volume of business every day. The company owns a block of property in the rear of the plant of the White Enamel Refrigerator company, having a frontage of 487 feet on spur track of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, which is to be converted into a coal yard April 1st, 1914; ice house, stable and lots at corner Dale and Maryland streets; a block of twenty lots, corner Arundel and Stinson streets; coal yards at Como avenue and Elfelt streets; is building an ice storage house at Lake Vadnais 350 feet by 150 feet; owns a twenty-year franchise on Lake Vadnais. The ice season is practically but six months and the coal business six months. As this company combines the sale and delivery of fuel with its ice business, it gives it an active business throughout the year, thereby eliminating waste expense due to idle seasons. The Fuel department is doing a profitable business and we have already started regular deliveries of ice. By reason of the necessity arising for an additional city ice service and the interest taken by leading citizens and Federated Women leagues of St. Paul—who are buyers of both ice and fuel—the Citizens Ice and Fuel company's policy has been to place its shares in small blocks with local investors. This means that every such shareholder is directly interested in the welfare of this corporation and automatically helps to place the stock on a good dividend paying basis. Statistics collected show that public service corporations are the safest and best paying investments now offered the public. The Citizens Ice and Fuel company, in offering its stock, which is all "Common" and equal, knows that this is an exceptional opportunity for investors to participate in a sound and permanent investment, sure to yield substantial dividends. If you are a bank depositor your money earns from 3% to 4%. Do you realize that an investment where the earning is sure to be more than 6% that it is 50% more than 4% and 100% more than 3%?

Most trees are given a too restricted hole. Dig the holes at least six feet in diameter and get some experienced person who is used to handling it, if such be available, to discharge two or three sticks of dynamite in the bottoms near the sides in order to loosen up the surrounding earth to make running ground for the tree roots later on. The holes should be at least a foot deeper than the depth at which the tree has to be planted, and this space is to be filled in with broken stones covered with soil, on which the trees will rest. This will insure that good drainage which is necessary for all trees not of the swamp kind. In the more southern portions of the country, where the ground dries out during periods of drought to a depth of several feet, drain tiles should be laid in the bottoms of the holes, and one tile with the "bell" level, with the top of the ground perpendicular, to be used in watering the trees when needed. This is an especially good idea for street trees, but the tile top should be protected by an iron curb box. ```markdown ``` ear value $50 per share, for immediate company, No. 8 West Fourth street; for one or more shares, payable in cash and Fuel company is $50,000.

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 aerial plane 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 brevet at Hellopolis, going thence to St. Petersburg, where the czar personally congratulated her upon her skill. In July, 1911, while she was leading in a big race in France, her machine suddenly dropped to the earth like a stone. Her life was despaired of, but after a long convalescence she began flying and February, 1912. Exactly then was the first Englishwoman to fly a aeroplane is uncertain, but the honor lies between Mrs. S. F. Cody, wife of the aeroplanner, and Miss Bacon, daughter of the well known balloonist. The former made several flights with her bus. Photos by American Press Association.

"It is," says Miss Bacon, "a glorious buoyant sensation without a parallel and therefore indescribable, but it is delicious beyond words." The British liavator aviator in Mrs. Maurice Hewlett, wife of the popular novelist. Mrs. Hewlett holds the record of being the only mother in the world who has taught her own son to die. He is Leutenant 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 unconcerned 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 was a little bit afraid, but the performance actually had the effect of strengthening my nerves." To the mere man on the street such a view might at first appear quixotic, but Miss Trewake Davis, who has crossed the channel in an aeroplane more often than any other lady, pays aviation a similar compliment. Unique in its way is the entrance of Miss McGhee Mason in a station. According to all traditions, this charming American should dread the thought of aerial navigation, as her brother was dashed to death in her presence while flying in December, 1910. Though small in stature, Miss Molsant is big in spirit. None 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 without their host. Just as the representatives of the law spirit in sight Miss Molsant started her engine and cleared off into the air out of their jurisdiction.

William Ward Hayes, the veteran editor of The Independent (New York), has a forceful and interesting article in the 65th Anniversary number entitled, "A Wish and a Hope," in which he outlines his ideas of the future conduct of the magazine. He indicates some of the evils and injustices to which too many are blind in the order of their importance and he gives race prejudice the first place, as shown in the following quotation from his article: "First, the selfish cruelty which condemns and penalizes socially and politically millions of our people because of their color. This hideous injustice debases or attempts to debase, one-eighth of our native citizens because they have more or less Negro blood. It also insults the three mightiest empires of Asia, China, Japan and India, blocks our success in our island possessions, and invites our only danger of war. I would have The Independent fight this un-Christian spirit, not occasionally and halfheartedly, but earnestly and persistently." The Afro-Americans of this country owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Hayes, because he has never failed as a strong advocate of justice without regard to color, during the sixty years he has edited The Independent. HINDUS SHOULD BEWARE! Hindu students from practically every leading American university attended the meeting of the Hindustan Association of the United States at Chicago last week. They are trying to encourage the young men and women of India to attend American schools. It may be all right now but if the number becomes very great they would be treated in America just as Afro-Americans are treated—with contempt. Even now Hindus are practically barred from the Pacific Coast and in the South they find it necessary to wear turbans to prevent being PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of us.

Rev Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago had a folder sent to him by the Oakwoods Cemetery Association depicting the beauties of the cemetery and other attractive features in which it was stated that "Chapel, vaults and cemetery are for the exclusive use of people of the Caucasian race." Dr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones is president of Abraham Lincoln Center and that he is the right man in the right place may readily be inferred when it is known that he immediately wrote a letter to the president of the Association in which he said among ether things: "Pray, how deep under ground does the color line reach? "Seriously, I am pained at the manifestation of what seems to me an insult to the Christianity we profess and the trust in God and belief in brotherhood that is inscribed or implied in a thousand monuments within your enclosure. Am I to understand that Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, the Hindu poet who has just received the Nobel prize for pre-eminent achievement in letters, were they to be presented at your gates would be denied the final courtesies which belong to the humblest and most despised and wickedest of the race" The letter has not been answered. WORK FOR VARDAMAN AND SMITH. Investigation of the history and habits of the parasites of the cotton boll weevil in a more comprehensive way than ever is proposed by Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture. He wants more funds appropriated with which to employ experts. Here is an excellent opportunity for Senators Vardaman and Hoax Smith and Representatives Heflin of Alabama and Clark of Florida to employ their talents. Instead of spending their time in vilifying Afro-American citizens over whose backs they have illegally climbed into power they might make speeches in Congress in favor of an appropriation to eliminate the boll weevil. This would really aid the South. Paderowski, the great pianist, incurred the enmity of Russian Jews through his recent contribution to a socialist paper, in which he said some uncomplimentary things about the city through fear of the nihilists, members of the race are said to have sworn vengeance on him. One night last week he cancelled his engagement in Denver and immediately left the city through fear of the nihilists. In this country column after column of the vilest lies about the Afro-Americans have appeared in the papers and yet there have been no suggestion of nihilistic methods to silence the traducers of the race. The Afro-Americans believe in law and order although they suffer from unjust laws. SEX HYGIENE IN THE SCHOOLS. The Chicago school board has very wisely decided by a vote of two to one to abolish the teaching of sex hygiene in the public schools. The study ought never to have been introduced; such instruction should be left to the parents to impart. Ignorance is not innocence and it is necessary that the child should receive instruction in purity of living but the instruction ought to be given by the parents. Teaching sex hygiene in public schools increases knowledge and lessens modesty, so the child loses more than he gains. THE APPEAL reprints in this issue a portion of the article on "The President and Segregation at Washington," which appeared in the North American RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself evil thing in this present justice; none at all.

The hat pin as a weapon of defense has been something of a joke but it was no joke to Daniel Sweeney in Milwaukee, Ws. On New Year's Eve he is alleged to have insulted a woman who used her hat pin to defend herself. Sweeney died last Thursday supposedly from heart trouble, when it was found that the woman's hat pin had punctured the aorta through which his life's blood had oozed for two weeks, drop after drop, until he succumbed. Minnesota is some corn state as well as excelling in some other things. John J. Furlong of Austin, Minn., president of the Minnesota Agricultural Society, was in St. Paul this week with an ear of corn 15 inches long which was raised on his farm. This was only one of a number exceeding 14 inches. One fine one measuring 14½ inches was presented to Mr. J. J. Hill who had promised Mr. Furlong $1,000 if he would raise 14-inch corn. Of course the $1,000 will be forthcoming. 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. We received in the mail this week a four-column folio newspaper bearing the title "The Megaphone." It claims to be "The only Negro Newspaper in the Arkansas Valley." The issue received is Vol 1, No. 9. A request for exchange was penciled on the paper but as it does not any where state where it is published we do not know how we could comply with the request if inclined to do so. 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. The Department of Justice now announces that there will be no prosecutions of technical violations of the Mann Act where there is no connection with commercialized vice. Care was taken to avoid this view of the law until Jack Johnson was convicted. 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.

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 Terrible Reconning." On October 16, 1912, Woodrow Wilk gone to their colored associates and son, then the Democratic office expressed their complete dissent from President, declared that: "Should I govern the castle undertaking become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair deal, gated, but eye-witnesses have told me colored women shut off in an unpleasant count upon everything, which ant alove in one office; of others cests of their race in the United States." This utterance gave complete satisfaction to those leaders of the colored people and the friends of the colored people who were urging them to break away race, to be behind lockers in one corner of a room in the dead-detter divider the Republican party and to vote for the Governor of New Jersey on the Poorer accommodation for the segregated are the invariable law of the ground that the country would profit most by the election of the Democrat. Poorer accommodation for the segregated are the invariable law of the ground that the country would profit most by the election of the Democrat. The assignment of separate toilet-rooms to the races under threats of prompt punishment for failure to the Democratic ticket in 1912 than the rules has been another ober before. It was with dismay, therefore, that early in the Administration of Mr. Wilson, whose Cabinet is equally between Southerners and Northerners, in certain quarters a distinct hostility to the colored people. For a long time no appointments of Negroes were made by the President. Then he nominated Adam E. Patterson of the Treasury, a member of the Treasury, a place by colored men. Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from the most violent negrophobes in the Senators like Hoke Smith of Georgia, Tillman of South Carolina, and others, decaring that Patterson should not be confirmed, or any other colored man, for an office which would put objective cowardice on the Senators the White House and demanded that his name be withdrawn. Unwilling at this time to meet the issue thus raised, Mr. Wilson consented to his appointment to residents Cleveland and Roosevelt, and contended, cumstances, put the responsibility on the Senate by continuing to nominate the colored candidates for office and to ensure census appointments when the Senate appointed Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cauckee 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 the posts of Minister to Hayli and San Domingo. Not one of the stock Southern objections to Negro appointments holds here; these ministers are accredited to colored people where authority cannot be raised. Under Mr. Wilson these posts have gone, temporarily, it is said, and doubtless for reasons satisfactory to Mr. Bryan, to white men. The colored people at large accused House that the remaining offices hereforegift to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this was, on top of it came the startling news that for the first time in the Government race prejudice was having in some of the Departments at Washington. What had not been dreamed of under Mr. Cleveland, though begun in one office under Mr. Taft, was the negregation of Negro clerks, both men and women. It appeared that the Secretary of the Treasury had planned to put Patterson at the head of an exclusively colored division upon the "that it would give the Newborn opportunity of national dimensions, to prove their fitness to run, unnaided by whites, an important bureau of the Department." Just why this benefit should not have been deprived as soon as it appeared that a colored man was to head the division has not appeared; if it had all the merit claimed for it, the colored people should not have been deprived of collectively demoting their office of 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 Newton correspondents of the New York Advertiser, has developed the fact that segregation of colored employees exists and is increasing, especially in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, as yet, segregation has not taken place in the office of the auditor for the Post-Office, which is a part of the Treasury Department, and that it has begun in the Washington city postoffice. As yet, segregation has not taken place in the building, where there are two hundred and seventy colored employees in the corridors and offices together with white clerks. It is defended by Mr. McAdoe as "an effort to remove racial barriers in the white women have been forced unnecessarily to sit at desks with colored men." But there is no statement that there have been many such complaints of that they were heard of under pretense. Mr. McAdoe explained why colored clerks are taken out of rooms in which their sole companions are white men, or why, if there should be segregation because the women, the Government does not want to segregate, Nor does Mr. McAdoe record the fact that in many instances the white clerks, without respect to sex, have gone to their colored associates and expressed their complete dissent from the Government's caste undertaking. He indignantly denies that poorer segregated men are given to the segregated, but eye-witnesses tell a tool of colored women shut off in an alcove at alone in one office; of others quietly forced out of the lunch-room they had been used for nine years past and compelled to go into lavatories at the lunch-hour, of men clerks segregated behind lockers in one corner of the Post-Office Department. Poorer accommodations for the segregated are the invariable law of segregation. The assignment of separate toilet-rooms to the races under threats of prompt punishment for failure to meet the rules has been another of the deeply segregated features of the Washington segregation. Overseed workers all this segregating has been more brutal than a slap in the face. It is as if the great Government of the United States had gone out of its way to stamp them publicly, kept as physically and morally contemptuous with white people. Among perhaps veterans of Fort Wagner, of the Crater of Petersburg, and survivors of the trumpal march into Richmond of General Godfrey Weitzel's black brigade; certainly the black troopers who were good enough to be a tool of white men in saving the day at Junn Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people who are thus branded are not rudestabouts, or corner loafers, or worthless laborers. They are educated men and women, college graduates many of them, from their civil service experience who have passed their civil service education and entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking merely the right to serve on equal terms with their fellows. The readers understand with American Review will understand the importance of the segregation orders if they can imagine themselves set apart as unworthy by brute authority, but they can hardly appreciate the added sense of injury which comes from the fact that they are not part of the Government. The colored people have borne as patiently as the children of Israel bore their burdens, the wrongs of disfranchisement, the lynchings and burnings of innocent and guilty, the humiliation of the "Jim Crow" slaves, the punishment of low whites; these were the acts of individuals or of States lately in rebellion. But that the Federal Government, under whose flag they have fought in every war, under whose jurisdiction they have shucked their fetters from their limbs, now take the side of the oppressors in the year of the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation—this is what hurts and ranks beyond all else. Is it any wonder that a national renown writes that he has not seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as to day? They rightly declare—as must every fair-minded man free from prejudice—that this spells case. They believe that it is intended to drive away the public of the government it intolerable for Negroes with 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 an entering wedge, and here a precedent be established. We shall say what the outcome will be, to what lengths desotic officials will take their way by means of discrimination, intimidation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall prophesy to what extent this case will be advised to come? If colored people can thus 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 first man to advocate for evil without adequate conception or provision of the dangers he was inviting.

STEWART THROUGH THE UNITIRING EFFORTS OF REV. M. W. WITHERS, ITS PASTOR. Shortly before Christmas Rev. M. W. Withers, pastor of Zion Baptist church, was granted a three months' vacation by his church and he and his estimable wife started on a trip out west to enjoy the same. They left Minneapolis December 18, and their first stop was made in Great Falls, Mont., where they spent a week as the guests of the Robinson family, well-to-do people of the city. Rev. Slims of the A. M. E. church treated them very cordially and invited Rev. Withers to preach the sermon Christmas morning and presented the entire offer to the church mas present. The church is getting along nicely. There are over three hundred Afro-Americans in the city, all of whom are doing well. At the business meeting held last Tuesday night a resolution was adopted, giving Pastor Withers special and great credit, for all were satisfied that this gift came because of his efforts and that of the Baptist Union. This money will be used in purchasing a lot and building a permanent church home for the congregation. Zion Baptist church was organized They next stopped in Butte, Mont., Dec. 26, where they found the people enjoying the Christmas holidays and were the recipients of numerous courtesies from the pastors of the churches and the people. Revs. Reed of the Baptist and Adams of the Methodist churches have the spirit of co-operating nicely in their church work, which is productive of great good and is proving a blessing to the people. On the morning of Jan. 2, Rev. Witherns received a telegram from Minneapolis telling of the bequest of $5,000 for his church. He exclaimed "Thank God and Mr. Stewart, this is "MEN'S CLUB" Organized at a Banquet Given at St. Peter Claver Church Thursday Night. On last Thursday evening there was gathered in the parish house of St. Peter Claver Catholic church a number of ladies and gentlemen bidden to a little banquet to the number of about forty. The parish house in the basement of the church, corner of Aurora and Farrington avenues, has been newly painted and decorated and is very pretty, neat and clean. It was especially decorated with autumn leaves, evergreens and Chinese lanterns for this occasion. Lawyer J. Louis Ervin presided at the court board and then the toothsome repast had been enjoyed, Father Theobald then explained the object to be the formation of a Men's Club, which he lucidly and thoroughly outlined. The Chairman then read the following constitution which was unanimously adopted: Constitution of the Men's Club. ARTICLE I. The name of this organization shall be the "MEN'S CLUB". The purpose of this club is to promote the general welfare of its members, morally, mentally, physically or otherwise, in accordance with the intent of its founders as may appear by the provisions of this constitution. To promote physical culture, science, literature and art in all its branches, and the social and educational aspirations of its members. II. The home of this club shall be in the parish house of St. Peter Claver church and its meetings shall be held therein. All male persons are eligible to membership of this club who are of good reputation and are over sixteen years of age, the membership beginning only after the application has been accepted by the board of directors, and the applicant has paid an enrollment fee of Twenty-five (25) cents. Each member shall be required to pay Twenty-five (25) cents per month as due to defray the expenses of this club. The government of this club and the management of its affairs shall be vested in a board of five directors, four of whom shall be elected by the members of the club, for a term of one year and shall hold their respective offices until their successors are elected and qualify. IV. The directors shall be elected by the members of the club, at a meeting held on the ..... day of January of each year. After the election of the members of the board of directors, they shall retire and elect from their number a vice-president, secretary and treasurer. The pastor of St. Peter Claver church shall be exofficio president of this club. V. The officers of this club shall be a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. The offices of Secretary and Treasurer may be held by one and the same person. The board of directors shall have power to make all by-laws for the government of this club. It is the intention to fit the parish house with athletic apparatus, pool and billiard tables and other games for its members, where they can enjoy the same removed from baneful environments of other clubs. Once each month there is to be "Ladies Night" when the "fair daughters of Eve" will be entertained. There were 27 members enrolled and the club starts out with bright prospects. During the evening remarks were made by Father Theobald, Lawyer Ervin, J. Q. Adams and J. H. Zedricks. At the next meeting, which will be held next Thursday evening at 9 o'clock sharp the board of directors and officers will be selected. The club is to be non-sectarian and any man who desires to do so may apply for membership. The office of the "Small Loan Co." has been moved to rooms 25 and 26 fith floor Union Block. the answer to my prayers and strong efforts." Rev. Withers at once returned to Minneapolis to rejoice with his congregation and on last Sunday preached two rousing and soul stirring sermons to large and appreciative congregations, followed by great hand shaking and congratulations. At the business meeting held last Tuesday night a resolution was adopted, giving Pastor Withers special and great credit, for all were satisfied that this gift came because of his efforts and not that of the Baptist Union. This money will be used in purchasing a lot and building a permanent church home for the congregation. Zion Baptist church was organized a little over seven years ago by Rev. Withers and he has served it since that time as pastor. Rev. Withers has pastored in Minneapolis since 1900. His first pastorate was Bethesda Baptist church. His record with that church has not been excelled. Through his efforts, the mortgage debt of $3,000.00 was lifted and the membership doubled. Rev. Withers and wife will continue their vacation trip until in the spring, and then again take up their work at Zion church. Rev. A. Gould is serving the church in the absence of the pastor. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. 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. On going to bed 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 feels plugged up with wax repeat the whole process again 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 live a clean, decent, many life; and will ever respect and defend the virtue and honor of womanhood: I will uphold and obey the just laws of my country and of the community in which I live and will encourage others to do likewise: I will not allow prejudice, injustice, insult or outrage to cower my spirit or humilate my soul; but will ever preserve the inner freedom of heart and conscience: I will not allow my self to be overcome of evil; will not retaliate overcome evil with good: I will adhere to develop and exert the best persons 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 ways aim to uplift my race so that, to everyone bound to it by ties of blood; it shall become a bond of ennoblement, and not a byword of reproach.
