THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, weasting no words. 3-The correspondents are able and energetic. IDENTIFIES J. C. R. AS HER LOST SON SAYS HE IS EARL RANDOLPH. Left For Gold Fields, but never Returned--Superintendent of Infirmary Believes Mystery is Cleared After Seven Years--Tattoo Mark Similar to One on Arm of Her Missing Son. Chicago--J. C. R., the "man of mystery," who has been confined for seven years in public institutions in Illinois and Minnesota, has been identified again, this time as Earl Randolph, who went to the Nevada gold mines in the town, his sister, Mrs. E. I. Randolph, who says she is his mother, the made identification, the superintendent, the identification is complete, though at the woman's request he refuses as yet to tell where she lives. "I is my son, I am certain of it," Mrs. Randolph said when Mr. Fullenbach confronted her with his patient. "I cannot be mistaken. He left home seven years ago for Newtown, and we have taken him to the hospital." "J. C. R." looked at her and smiled, with no sign of recognition. A circle tattooed on his arm was shown to Mrs. Randolph, and she said her son was marked with just such a design. She will see "J. C. R." again and try to make the identification positive. "The man of mystery" was an inmate of the Minnesota Asylum For the Insane at Rochester for more than six years, during which time no one claimed or identified him and he was unable to say a single word in elucidation of his illness. The station platform at Wasca, Minn., in July, 1907, partly paralyzed and a victim of asphasia. He became a public charge and was removed to the Rochester institution. where an operation was performed. The surgeons found the brain cells in such a state of deterioration that they doubted whether he would ever recover his memory or speech. It was predicted though that he might improve. This prediction has not been achieved yet. J. H. R." in time became able to understand a part of what was said to him. He has never spoken a word since his treatment began. The man is described as about forty-five years old, of medium height, with hair tinged with gray and appealing brown eyes. Several times he has been "identified," once as Leutenant Rostrom, an officer of the navy, who was said to be disinterested himself at Matanuska, in Spruce Grove, and teriously disappeared. This and other "identifications" failed to stand the test. DOG LEADS TO CHILD. Tugs at Mother's Apron Until She Understands What is Wanted. Harrison, Ark.—If Mack, the English settler belonging to the family of Jim Jones, one mile west of town, did not save the Jones baby from injury he at least eased the little fellow's fear from being lost when he summoned help. The baby strayed from the Jones home to the main road a quarter of a mile away and succeeded in losing himself in the underbrush and weeds. His cries did not attract any one, but they worried the dog, and he smothered him. When Mack scrambled on the door, Mrs Jones opened it, the dog seized her apron and tried to make her follow him toward the road. He repeated his effort before Mrs Jones guessed what was wanted. When she started, Mack ran before to where the child was hidden in the weeds. CLASHES WITH PANTHER. Hunter Wins, but Gets Pretty Well Clawed in the Fight. Ulkiah, Cal.-Albert Jeans, a rancher of the Anderson valley section, is nursing brushes received in a hand to claw fight with a panther. The animal sprang upon him while he was bending over the body of its mate that he had just shot, and it was only after a desperate struggle that he managed to break the hold of the beast and to shoot it. Jeans caught the first panther in a trap and shot the animal. It measured nine feet five inches from tip to tip. The second, with which Jeans had the fight, was only a trifle more than six feet long. SHIP ORE BY PARCEL POST. Mail Carriers in Mining Districts Face Hard Problems. Butte. Mont.-The mail carrier on the route between Sites and Elk City, Idaho, got notice that three mines in the Elk river district will ship three carloads of concentrates in fifty pound packages by parcel post to the smelter at Butte. A requisition will be obtained from the postoffice department authorizing the carrier to employ freighters. Mines in the Elk river district expect soon to ship all their concentrates by parcel post instead of by freight as in the past. CHILD LEADS ORCHESTRA. Willy Ferrero, Seven and One-half Years Old, Delights Czar. St. Petersburg. - An Italian child conductor, Willy Ferrero, aged seven and a half years, who recently conducted the imperial orchestra at a "command" performance before the czar, also gave a performance before the dowager czarina and other members of the royal family and has received from the czar a gold watch with the imperial arms set in diamonds and pearls. The czarina was so delighted with the way in which the child conducted that she gave him a large box of chocolates and promised to send him toys. He was born in America of stage parents, and listening to music became part of his daily life. At the age of 18 he would show signs of talent. Listening to a piano he used to beat time and to show annoyance if the time was not what he considered right. If he liked a piece he could remember it all after hearing it three or four times. Paris was the scene of his first pub appearance three and a half years ago. WANTS TO IGNORE PHOTOGRAPH BRIDES Commissioner Caminetti Would Exclude Japanese Women. Washington.—Commissioner General of Immigration Caminetti in his first annual report on the operations of his bureau says that unless congress appropriates more money for the support of the immigration service violations of the laws are bound to decr. Increased appropriations and a larger force of officers in the several stations as well as at the main office and more public health surgeons and interpreters, he says, are necessary to make COMMISSIONER CAMINETTL possible a thorough inspection and a more strict enforcement of the law. As to Japanese immigration, he expresses doubt as to whether the "photograph" brides after having gone through a marriage ceremony by proxy, recognized as legal in Japan, are really entitled to admission. He argues that the marriage is binding upon the United States in the administration of immigration laws and also that there is no treaty with Japan or other arrangement whatsoever that provides for the recognition by the United States of the so called marriage of a woman in Japan with a man who may be in the United States at the alleged date of the same." During the last fiscal year immigration to the United States, amounting to 1,197,882 aliens, was larger than in any fiscal year since 1907. The year's immigration, according to the report, is 818,308 as compared with a net increase for the preceding year of 401,863. The number of exclusions was 19,938. DOG'S TEETH AS CURRENCY. Litigation In London Reveals Nature of Pacific Island Trade London. - Litigation in a London court has revealed the fact that a considerable trade in dogs' teeth has sprung up in the Pacific islands, where they are used for currency and ornaments. The best tearing and corner teeth for the Pacific trade sell here for a guinea ($5.25) a hundred. The contract about which the litigation arose concerned 40,000 teeth at $3 a pound, the chief source of supply of the teeth are the tanneries, which buy the carcasses of dogs for their skins. Best Four and one-half Feet Long. San Francisco. - Skiy-five pounds in weight, four and one-half feet in length and three and one-half feet in circumference are the measurements of the largest beet in this portion of California. J. Smith of San Los Angeles and the beet-leaf fish is exhibited in the State bank window in San Leandro with other chamber of commerce exhibits. Smith's beet bears a surprising resemblance to the carcass of a sheep. THE APPEAL. DEATH FOR OPIUM SMOOT Chinese Provincial Governors Decree the Extreme Penalty. London.—According to letters from Peking, the anti-opium governmental crusade is being waged with more severity than ever. The governors of various provinces have issued proclamations announcing the death penalty for smokers of opium. Although definite cases of execution for defiance of the law are rare, it is reported from Wuchang that a smoker among the soldiers of the garrison there was caught indulging in the habit, and after trial before a court made up of his comrades he was sentenced to immediate execution and was shot. President Yuan Shih Kai seems to have struck a popular note in his now celebrated anti-gambling mandate. The Shenpao, an independent paper oflambda.org, had taken by the government in this and other matters of social and political importance, says: "Without first eradicating the evil habit of gambling in Peking, it would be futile to discuss politics or reforms. What the government has done was but what we expected it to do, otherwise it would have lost all standing ground." Richmond, Va.-A petition signed by many prominent persons of Carroll county will be presented soon to Governor Stuart asking him to pardon seventeen-year-old Friel Allen, the youngest member of the Hillsville clan, which in March of 1912 wiped out the Carroll county circuit court. The boy is serving an eighteen year sentence on the state penitentiary for the murder of W. M. Foster, commonwealth attorney, who was shot down in the courthouse. At the trial of Friel attenuating circumstances were shown and he was doubt that he actually caused the death of Mr. Foster. In fact, it now is believed that he would have been acquitted except that feeling at the time was at such a high pitch. During the term of Governor Mann unsuccessful efforts were made to have him commute the death sentences of Floyd and Claude Swanson Allen. The present governor then refrained from any comment on the movement and refused to take any part in the campaign. It is now declared that Friel did not actually kill the commonwealth attorney. At his trial Friel testified that he fired at only two persons—Court Clerk Goad and Attorney Foster. The evidence offered tended to show that the commonwealth attorney already had received a mortal wound when he came within range of Friel's revolver. Because of this last fact the jury found him guilty of murder in the second degree. Friel was the most amenable to law of all the Allens. HUNTED 20 YEARS. IS CAUGHT. Moonshiner, Awaking From Sleep, Stares Into Pistols. Waldron, Ark.-John Dale, who for twenty years has defied revenue officers in the western counties of Arkansas, was found asleep in the woods here and arrested by a United States marshal's posse on charges of operating an illicit still. Dale lay asleep on his rifle at the foot of a tree. Awakened to find six guns pointed at him, he showed fight, but was soon overpowered. Dale's crude still and 260 gallons of liquor were confiscated and the operator, a police making device was of the portable kind, generally known as a wildest still. As early as 1894 attempts were made to corner officers, and scores of government officers, after trailing him for months in isolated regions of Scott and Polk counties, abandoned the chase. DEAD AIR MAN'S ROMANCE. Lieutenant Arthur Leaves His Fortune to Girl of Fourteen. London.-A romantic attachment to a girl of fourteen is disclosed by the will of the late Lieutenant Arthur, an army air man aged twenty-nine, who was killed at Montrose last May. The will, which was proved in the Dublin courts, leaves the whole of his fortune, £12,500, to Winslow Con- holder of the West Hartlepool shipbuilder and grand-daughter of Sir Robert Kopper. On the dead body of the air man was found a miniature portrait of the girl, which he was in the habit of wearing on his breast. GETS $24 FROM AVIATOR. Vineland Farmer Recover For Damages Done to Field. Bridgeton, N.J. - In the suit of James McCoy of Vineland and aviator George A. Gray, which was tried in the county court here, Judge Tuller invaded Vineland, damages. The sum of $200 was asked. Mr. McCoy alleged that the aviator, in making two ascensions from his field on the Malaga pike for his exhibitions at the Millville park, had damaged the crops to that amount. INGLE SAM TO AID CHICKEN FARMERS PRIZES FOR THE BEST WORK Value of Chickens For Farmers and Others Pointed Out by Expert—Frequently Entire Family Is Clothed From Income Derived From Henhouse—Program Laid Out For Clubs Washington.—In order to teach the value and importance of the poultry industry, the marketing of products and the caring for poultry and eggs, the animal husbandry division of the bureau of animal industry of the agricultural department advocates the forming of boys' and girls' poultry clubs. The plan is advanced by Harry M. Lamon, senior animal husbandman in poultry investigations, and the department has promised to co-operate with the clubs and send speakers to the meetings. Ever since the price of eggs went soaring with the cost of living the demand for given scientific attention to the subject has increased. In instance, it has been discovered that the loss due to the improper handling of eggs is enormous, extending into many millions of dollars annually. It is also an established fact that if the farmer, who is the largest producer of eggs, would take more care in selecting, grading and in marketing his produce he would receive a higher price than the average market price for eggs. On many farms throughout the country the money derived from the sale of poultry and eggs buys the groceries and clothing for the entire family. The money from this source may be substantially increased by establishing a stock of eggs in good quality with hotels and restaurants. Mr. Lamon has outlined the organization of clubs. It is proposed that any boy or girl between ten and eighteen years old can become a club member by signing the roll and agreeing to set at least one setting of thirteen eggs during the hatching season. Members are not to pay dues or assessments. "Throughout the year," says Mr. Lemon, "meetings should be held to discuss the different problems of poultry management. Whenever possible the department will have one of its specialists present to assist in such problems as may arise and to give information or demonstration in the selection of poultry for sale. Each member should assist in obtaining first class markets for the sale of poultry and eggs. Each country club should hold an exhibition at least once a year, preferably in connection with the country fair, at which a pair of the best chickens grown by each member should be placed on exhibition. These should compete for the regular prizes offered by the fair association. There should also be a special prize offered by the members of the poultry clubs. An exhibit of the best dozen eggs should also be made. It is also, in my opinion, imperative that the girl shall agree to study the instructions of the department of agriculture." The program laid out is a sort of progressive one for the first four years of a club's existence, it being evidently figured that at the end of the four years the older members will have reached the age limit of membership and will be graduates par excellence in poultry raising and egg grading and handling. It is planned for the first year of membership that each member shall set at least three settings of eggs from pure bred stock and shall raise seven pullets and one cockerel. All members will be trained in poultry management. A composition on poultry management must be submitted to the agent in charge of club work. All meetings must be attended and accurate records kept and sent to the agent. During the second year each member shall be required to raise at least fifteen pure bred pullets and two cockeels. All bred must be completed by May 10. A pair of birds and one dozen eggs from this stock shall be exhibited at the county or state fair. A composition upon some phase of the work must also be submitted to the agent in charge of club work. Twenty-five pure bred pullets and two cockeels must be raised in the third year, a composition must also be written and submitted and the same sized exhibit sent to the fair as during the second year. In this year May 1 must be placed and of the hatching. In the fourth year each member is required to raise at least thirty pure bred pullets and three cockeels. The hatching and rearing of chickens, the condition of stock and cleanliness of coops and poultry buildings, the cost of producing eggs, accuracy and neatness of records, attendance at meetings, exhibits at fairs, and the written articles shall all be considered in the rating of members and awarding of prizes. Happens on Pot of Gold. Oroville, Cal.-After having prospected for years along the Yuba river, with little return for his patient work. Frank Davidson has finally made a strike-in an old iron pot. He was walking on a sandbar when his foot struck the pot which was half buried. This filled a few grains of gold rolled out. Davidson scraped the pot and found dust worth $800. OLDEST UNIVERSITY FOUND. Ancient Tablets Prove One Existed in Nippur Temple 3200, B. C. Nippur Temple 3200 B. C. "Philadelphia—the discovery of the existence of the first temple of learning in the world, where the first exponents of the liturgical system congregated, has just been made by Professor Stephen Herbert Langdon, professor of Assyriology in Oxford, who is now investigating the Nippur collection of the University of Pennsylvania. The tablets were collected in three expeditions to Nippur, in the southern part of Babylon. I have ascertained from my examination of the tablets that priests had a school in the temple at Nippur as early as 3200 B. C. and that this school existed about a thousand years," said Dr. Langdon. "To these priests is due the liturgical system which spread throughout Babylonia and Assyria and influenced Greece and Rome. They were exponents of a great university, the most important center of learning. I believe it was the first school of learning, and for that reason the University of Pennsylvania's collection, which discloses the greatest value of this university, is of the greatest value school." "The discovery will establish more clearly in the minds of scholars the fact that the origin of religious orders existed in ancient antiquity and that a very important religious order existed at the temple near Nippur." "BLIND." SEES X RAY SKIRT. Test Eyes of Beggar Who "Rubbered" When Wearer of Gown Passed. Lima, O.-Scientific inquiry into the normal condition of the eyes of Thomas Kern, a begging "blind" man, has been ordered by Mayor Shook, following the alleged development in municipal court that Kern found little optical impediment in discerning the form of a woman in a diaphanous gown at an interurban depot. Please Help the Blind" sign planned on the front of his coat, darkened glasses over his eyes and a tin cup resting in his hands, Kern at the depot, an object of pity until, as the woman passed, he dropped his snatched away his glasses, took a long "rubber" and then started to resume his pose, when a policeman arrested him. HAVEN FOR TRAMPS HAS FED 300,000 MEN "Turn No Hungry Man Away," Said Dying Millionaire. San Francisco, Cal. "Turn no hungry man away from the Parrott home on his deathbed John Parrott, a multimillionaire clubman of Hillsborough, solemnly laid the injunction on his wife that all who should come hungry to the house in the stately and ornate park which is one of the beauty spots of Hillsborough should receive food and shelter. That was in 1884, and since that time more than 300,000 tramps and wanders and adventurers have received succeor from Mrs. Parrott, who has held her husband's dying wish as a sacred trust. At one time twenty-five tramps were fed at the Parrott home. There is a porch at the back of the huge kitchen attached to the mansion which is used as the hoboes' dining room. There they may have hot meals in abundant quantity for the beef quality. For years Mrs. Parrott employed a special chef to cook for her wayfaring guests. She puts 'aside a large monthly allowance in her budget of household expenses to provide for them. They also are permitted to camp on the grounds, and sometimes fifty to a hundred men are gathered there. 78 GIRLS PROPOSE TO HIM. Heir to $2,500 a Year, Now a Cobler, Defers Choice, However. Brunswick, Ga.-Attracted by the story of Van Allan, a newspaper man who, after spending his first yearly allowance of $25,000, is now living the humble life of a cobbler, by which means he hopes to save enough money to get to Birmingham, where he will receive another allowance of $25,000 in February, seventy-eight girls have written letters to Allan proposing marriage. Allan came to Brunswick on his "uppers." He had been previously living a life of ease. He received a bequest of $25,000 a year for the remainder of his life, but his remittance falls due in February. He has not yet chosen his life partner. 120 YEARS TOO OLD TO WED. Register of Deeds in North Carolina Refuses Man Seventh License. Raleigh, N. C.-Declaring his age of 120 years too great for marriage, the register of deeds of Bladen county declined to give Joseph McIntyre his seventh marriage license. Mr. McIntyre has buried six wives, all of whom lived with him until death. The register declined to issue a license on the ground that the applicant was too old to take care of his prospective bride, who gave her age as eighty. She has been married four times. The couple walked two miles to the town to ask for a license. INDIANS ASK CITIZENSHIP. Would Develop Self Denial, Says Registrar Parker, a Chapaw. Philadelphia.—Full rights of citizenship for the American Indian were advocated at the council of the Society of American Indians. The speakers declared that admission to full citizenship and the right of ownership rather than occupancy should be granted to the red man. Gabe E. Parker, newly appointed register of the treasury, a Choctaw, declared that the Indian was in a peculiar position, being independent in a tribal sense yet dependent in national relations. Mr. Parker said that there were 300,000 Indians in the United States and that 138,328 had citizenship rights. "Tribal life must be abandoned," he said, "before the Indian can become self supporting or a vital force in our national life. He must be recognized as a man of capabilities. He has made great progress in adapting himself to the life of the country. He has suffered from the one fault of lack of self denial, but if the Indian be given his land with privileges and responsibilities of proprietorship he would soon develop that quality." BACHELOR READY TO WED FOR NEW LAW Kinkaid of Nebraska Sets Chamber In Uproar. Washington. — Representative Moses Kinkaid of Nebraska, a bachelor, was greatly embarrassed recently in the house. Mr. Kinkaid's bachelorhood has frequently been the subject of jest among his colleagues, but he was nearly oblited this time to get married as a means of forcing through a bill in which he has a keen interest. Mr. Kinkaid asked consideration for a bill providing that the marriage of a homestead entryman to a homeestead REPRESENTATIVE KINKAID. entrywoman shall not impair the right of either to a patent after compliance with the law for one year." Mr. Kinkaid declared that the present laws are an impediment to marriage in the public land states and that this should be tolerated no longer. "The gentleman from Nebraska has a good deal of nerve to call this bill up," suggested Representative Mann of Illinois. "He says it is against public policy to prevent marriage, while the gentleman all his life has been pre-empted to marriage that ought to take place." "I do not stand in the way of marriage of worthy widows, widowers, bachelors or maidens," responded Mr. Kinkaid. "I suggest an amendment including our Nebraska friend," observed Representative Madden of Illinois. "I would be included." said Mr. Kinkaid. "We should like to help the gentleman get married," said Mr. Mann. The bill was passed. SPEAKS MANY LANGUAGES. Indian, Walking to Washington, Seeks Voting Privilege. Columbus, Ind.-Chief White Cloud, who says he has recently been elected chief of 2.800 Dakota Indians, stopped here for a short rest on his way to Washington to see President Wilson. The chief is walking the entire distance and will meet the president he intends to request the chief executive to do all he can to give the Indians a vote. Chief White Cloud calls attention to the fact that he is a Carlisle graduate, that he speaks twenty-three languages, nine of which are foreign tongues and the others Indian dialects; that he has taught school and is now an Indian chief, but that he has no right to vote. Japan Completes Great Dryook. Tokyo--After eight years' work the biggest dryook in Japan, has been completed at the Maiduum naval station on the western coast. The dock will accommodate warships up to 35,000 tons displacement and be an important addition to Japanese naval facilities. $2.40 PER YEAR. VIRGINIA WILL COAX MORGAN Diplomacy to Be Used In Effort to Get Famous Will. FINANCIER HOLDS DOCUMENT Lost Testament of Martha Washington May Yet Cause Legal Battle, However—Governor Stuart Writes to Morgan Requesting Return of Paper. Ample Funds to Carry on Fight. Richmond, Va.—Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution who have been demanding from J. P. Morgan the return of the Martha Washington will, stolen from the Fairfax County courthouse during the civil war and found in the private collection of the University, have decided resort to diplomacy to regain the treasure instead of appealing to the law through State Senator Thornton's bill, now a law, but held up temporarily. Governor Stuart will now shoulder the burden of reclaiming the will, endeavoring to do so by gentle persuasion upon Mr. Morgan and the plea that his holding stolen property cannot reflect credit on him or his family, even though the property was taken during times of war and was therefore privileged "oot." Governor Stuart has agreed to write Mr. Morgan a letter couched in the most diplomatic language possible asking for the return of the will. It is believed here that Mr. Morgan will accede to the governor's request and return the will thereby avoiding unpleasant consequences, the bother of long and hard fought law suit. Should such a suit be brought efforts will be made by the Fairfax Court to learn just how Mr. Morgan's father got the valuable document in his possession and the identity of the actual taker may be learned. The fight for the recovery of the will not only has the support of the national organization of the Daughters of the American Revolution, but of Virginia patriotic societies. There will be no lack of money to pay the case against Mr. Morgan should his matter finally be sent to the courts. The Martha Washington will controversy has been attracting wide attention since December, when it was published that the will had been found in the Morgan collection. Demands were made on Mr. Morgan for return of the will, but without avail. To one reason, the Morgan collection with the offer of a photographic reproduction, but ignored the demand for the original. MODERN WORLD'S WONDERS Wireless and the Panama Canal the Greatest, Germans Think. Berlin—The Berliner Lokalanzgeser, the big popular daily which has just passed out of the hands of its founder, August Scherl, into the control of a syndicate supposed to represent the kaiser's government, has been holding a symposium of its readers on the seven modern wonders of the world. Prizes have been awarded to eight persons, who are agreed that the following are the seven chief wonders of the world: the raphy, the Panama canal, the dirigible airship, the flying machine, radium, the cinematograph and the Imperator. Wireless and the Panama canal were the favorites among the voters. "ENGLISH DEFORMS MOUTH." Asserta Users Look Like "Measly Rabbit" —Praesent German London,—Lord Ashbure, whose father was a Tory lord chancellor of Ireland, but who himself is an advanced Nationalist and who always dresses in ancient Irish kilt, speaking at a recent Gaelic league meeting, declared that the continuous speaking of English deformed the mouth. As a result, he said, Englishman has prominent lips, long front teeth and a large palate, a measly rabbit. The German language is strong and vigorous, but English is in a state of rottenness, weakness, decay. AT NINETY-TWO SHE WEAVES Mrs. Dikeman Begins Carpet For President Wilson. Lee, Mass.-Mrs. Clara Dikeman of East Lee observed her ninety-second birthday by beginning a rag carpet the first rows as a gift to President and Mrs. Wilson. She had the warp all in and has begun hammering into place the first rows of an elaborate "hit or miss" design. For fifty years she has been wearing on a hand loom, and her carpets have become celebrated. Summer residents buy all her product. She says the carpet for the president will have thirteen colors, thirteen being his lucky number. Han Puts Up Great Sheff. Michigan town, Ind.-Robert Goodnight, cashier of the Michigan town bank, has a three-year-old buff bantam hen which has never laid an egg, although she goes on the nest, comes off and cackles like the other bens. She sits regularly and has hatched and raised several broods of chickens from eggs of other bens. HISTORIC SOCIETY HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? National Afro-American Newspaper PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY J. Q.

A bill to segregate all white and colored employees in the government departments was introduced in the House of Representatives Monday by Congressman Edwards of Georgia. The Edwards bill provides that "white clerks or employees shall not be required to occupy the same offices or work rooms with clerks or employees of African blood or descent, nor shall any white clerk or employee be placed under the orders, direction or supervision of any person of African blood or descent." The bill was referred to the committee on reform in the Civil Service. The following is a list of the members of the committee. It would be well to write to the members from your state protesting against the bill and asking that it be killed in the committee: Hannibal L. Godwin of North Carolina. Charles D. Carter of Oklahoma. Martin Dies of Texas. Lewis L. Morgan of Louisiana. Stephen A. Hoxworth of Illinois. Denver S. Church of California. Lathrop Brown of New York. George C. Scott of Iowa. Martin B. Madden of Illinois. James Manahan of Minnesota. Silas R. Barton of Nebraska. James W. Bryan of Washington. It would also be well to make a general protest against the enactment of jim crow legislation of any kind by Congress. THE RACE IS RISING. The greatest fakers the world has produced have been Caucasians. They have fleeced their brethren out 0. billions of dollars by means of all sorts of schemes from religion to tango. It would require too much space to even name the many plans of separating their victims from their coin. Some time since one Charles A. Lomax, an Afro-American, became a little envious of the Caucasians who Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. were extracting the "long green" from their confiding brethren and concluded that he could do something along that line himself. Lomax conceived the idea of teaching colored men to be Pullman porters by mail. Students sent in their money from all over the country. The postoffice inspectors say he promised to get them positions and failed to make good. He was held to the grand jury. Lomax was evidently a rather versatile fellow. His course included: Theory and practice of moral suasion as applied to tipping. Aesthetics of whiskbrooming. Art of bedmaking. The human smile and how to use it in extracting the coin. It has been the boast of the white South and the cringing Afro-American cowards who approve everything that the white South says, that there is no color line in labor and that white and black mechanics work together on the same buildings, etcetera. Even that has been changed to a great degree and now it seems that demagogue Blease, the brutal governor of South Carolina has had a bill introduced which provides that "the two races shall not be permitted to engage in the same work at the same time at any place or in any manner whatsoever." The law is to apply to schools, Sunday schools, hotels, eating houses, hospitals, nurses in private homes and HOUSES OF ILL FAME. That the law recognizes the existence of houses of ill fame is sufficient to show the state of civilization in South Carolina. Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis has figured out the situation just about as it is. In an address before the City Club of New York the other day on "The Deterioration of the American Physique," he said: "in three generations, at the present rate, this country will go into the hands of men and women with foreign names. The good people are growing better, but the bad people are growing worse. God takes care of children, fools and the American people, but if he should go to sleep for five minutes I tremble to think what would become of us." He said the typical building in all the states is the lunatic asylum and that when we multiply our population a few times we will have more crazy than sane people. Of course, he is talking about white people. According to statistics of the census bureau, Minnesota's death rate is the lowest of any state in the Union. The Minnesota rate is 10.7, the lowest, against Maryland's 16.3, the highest. Who wouldn't live in Minnesota? Then, further, at the recent National Corn Show held at Dallas, Texas. Minnesota won the world's sweepstakes for the best ten ears of early grown sweet corn, and she also has the world record of ears of corn fifteen inches long. Not only is Minnesota healthful, but it produces the cereals that keep it so. Again, we say, who wouldn't or, who couldn't live in Minnesota? It is said that President Wilson wishes to show the Afro-Americans that he is not inimical to them. He can do it easily and without fear from the opposition of Vardaman. Mr. President, just pass the word down the line that there is to be no more segregation in the service of the United States government; revoke the separate toilet order and declare that Afro-Americans are to be treated just the same as other classes of Americans.

They have a good religion and they are too shrewd to accept the jimcrow Christianity of the American Caucasians. Senator Vardaman says that it is "unamerican" to keep a colored as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. He says that no office ought to be given exclusively to one race. Perhaps it would be well to follow the suggestion and turn some of the District offices over to Afro-Americans. The race constitutes one-third of the population and on that basis it ought to have one-third of the offices. Congress decided "not to offend Japan" and so the amendments offered to the pending immigration bill Tuesday were decisively defeated, thanks to Representative Mann of Illinois. They are very particular about Japan now-a-days. The amendments sought to exclude, "Mongolians, Malays and Negroes"—and they spelled Negroes with a small "n". The Atlanta newspapers have lost their right for a lower rate on print paper. The contention was that they were being discriminated against in favor of other cities. For years these papers have discriminated against the dark-complexioned citizens of Atlanta and now they know how it feels to be discriminated against. According to press dispatches, Miss Bana Douglass proposes to spend a month in the Maine woods garbed as was Mother Eve before the fall. There will doubtless be more "hunters" in the Maine woods after it is announced that she has begun her feat than were ever there before at one time and they will be armed with telescopes as well as guns. Instead of being eliminated the lynchers are following up-to-date methods in the South's favorite diversion. At Purcell, Oklahoma, recently, a mob in an automobile proceeded to the jail, took therefrom a colored man CHARGED with murder, carried him to Noble and hanged him. It will be in order again to call attention to the fact that three great men who had great bearing in this country were born in this month of February, viz.: Abraham Lincoln, February 12; Frederick Douglass, February 18; George Washington, February 22, today. How would you like to own some stock in the Premier diamond mines of South Africa? They paid a dividend of 400 per cent for the first half and 350 per cent for the second half of 1913. Is it not about time to start another petition to President Wilson asking him to stop segregation in the departments? The Afro-American must learn never to give up the fight against injustice. The press dispatches say that society at Washington has given up the tango and begun the study of ethics. That's good. Perhaps the Washington Caucasians will learn how to treat persons with dark skins. The Jews are having films which ridicule their race suppressed. Many films are shown which belittle the Afro-American. Is it not time to organize and have them suppressed? Some of the religious cranks are becoming greatly agitated over the "menace of Socialism." How about the menace of jimcrow Christianity? Oswald Garrison Villard, Grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, Writes a Strong Article for the North American Review, On October 16, 1912, Woodrow Wilson, then the Democratic nominee for President, declared that: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may come from me for absolute fair dealing and for fear, by which I could assist in advance of the eats of their race in the United States." This utterance gave complete satisfaction to those leaders of colored people and the friends of the race, and urging them to break away from their prejudice, the Republican party and to vote for the Governor of New Jersey on the ground that the country would profit from the election of the Democrat-toilet ticket. Unified observers believe that many colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. good enough to die alongside of white men in saving the day at San Juan Hill. Learning to know the gratitude of Reverend Joseph White, these colored people who are thus branded to be rousettabus, or corner loafers, or worthless laborers. They are educated men and women, all over the country many of them, from all over the country, passed their civil service examination and entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking merely the right to serve on equal terms with the other readers of The North American Review, to understand the bitter humiliation 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 dignity 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 Northeners, there became noticeable in certain cases distinct hostility to the colored men, a long time no appointments of New York were made by the President. Then he nominated Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma for the position of Register of the Treasury, a place long held by colored men. Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from the most colorful phobes in the Senate; Senators like Vardaman of 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 an end to white women clerks. With object to white Patterson rushed to the White House, commanded that his name be withdrawn, at this time to meet the issue thus raised, Mr. Wilson consented to his request, unlike Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, who, under similar circumstances, put the responsibility on the Senate, allowing to nominate the colored candidate to serve and by giving them recess appointments 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 allegiance of the people, and is attached to it. This is particularly the posts of Minister to Hayt and San Domingo. Not one of the stock Southern objections to Negro appointments holds here; these ministers are rather objections to the people where the bogle of social equality is raised. Under Mr. Wilson both of these posts have gone, temporarily, it is said, and doubtless for reasons satisfactory to Mr. Bryan, to white colored people at large accepted this as a reason. House that the remaining offices heretofore given to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this was, on top of it came the startling under Mr. Cleveland, though begun under Mr. Taff, was being attempted under Mr. Writh, the negroization 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 Negroes opportunity of national dimensions, to prove their fitness to run, unaided by whites, an important bureau of the Department. Just why this benefit should not have been deprived of opportunity of collectively demonstrated individual, has long been known to all familiar with the Government's operations. good enough to die alongside of white men in saving the day at San Juan Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people who are thus branded are not routabouts, or corner loafers, or worthless laborers, located men and women, college graduate men and women, all over the country who have passed their civil service examinations and entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking merely the right to serve on equal terms with the other. The readers of The North American Journal understand the bitter humiliation the segregation orders if they can imagine themselves set apart as unworthy by brute authority, but they can hardly appreciate the added sense of injustice which comes from the fact that this is the way the federal Government. The colored people have born as patiently as the children of Israel bore their burdens, the wrongs of disfranchisement, the lynchings and burnings of innocent and guilty, the injustice in the crow-car, the constant personal humiliation 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 rule they have been struck which struck their fetters from their lives, now take the side of the oppressors in the year of the fifth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. this is the reason that ranks beyond all else. Is it any wonder that the national renown writes that he has never 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 caste. They believe that it is intended to drive them of the public service by renaming it for self-respect. They assert that 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 wing, 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 despicotic officials will take their way by means of discrimination, intimidation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall prophesy to what extent this caste may not be developed in the decades to come? The clerk 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 man in motion terrible forces for evil without cause conception or provision of the dangers he was inviting. And his philosophy, he remains silent and segregates further, will be wrong, his democracy gravely, at fault; he has given us the right to be free, and in his book called "The New Freedom, and in his various speeches prior and since his election to the Presi- fency. But nowhere thus far do we and any indication that his democracy is not limited both by the sex line and by race, but by the fact that we see that to discriminate in his democracy against any one is to bring his whole carefully reared edifice cras- ing to the ground. The principles upon which our democracy rests musi- culation, as exactly 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 accept the fact that we wireless invention if he could trans- mit only the first half of the alph- abet and not the last. It avails the apologists for the President not at all to say that "The New Freedom" applies only to politic and economic prob- lem but an economic and political one. It would certainly be ridiculous for Mr. Wilson, his publishers, to expect any appreciative reading among the millions of disfranchised Americans, be colored women or white women, of his theory of the coming of a new political freedom at the very moment when there is placed upon the colored by two of his own cabinet an official stigma which no amount of acknowledgment would suffice. What Mr. Mcdoe does not appreciate is that the slightest yielding to prejudice on the part of a high Federal official will find a dozen initiators in the lower official masters who think by outdoing their masters to curry favor with those in power. What he does not see is that if only one colored man or woman has been segregated it gives the deliberate lie to Mr. Wilson's promise to advance the interests of the race and violates his pledge of absolute fair dealing. The more he does this, the more unite defenders of this Government's reputation or honor and of the rights or the colored people, but those subordinates who by their official actions have made jubilous the President's word. Wittingly or unwittingly the Wilson Administration has allied itself with the forces of reaction, and has been the perpetrator, of every oppressor, of every perpetrator of racial injustice in the South or the North. THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma- scientious dischar- to stand alone; ther ant, intolerant ju- demn, the counter may be averted, friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w ances of relatives friends.—Charles S I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. For the first time in the history of the United States, the machinery of the government of 90,000,000 people is being used to humiliate and degrade 10,000,000 of its loyal and law-abiding citizens. In some of the departments of the Federal Government at Washington Afro-American employees have been segregated from their former associates and fellow workers and ordered to use separate retiring rooms. In some instances cages have been built to separate Afro-American and white government clerks. No other class is obliged to bear this badge of degradation. There is no warrant in law for these orders of subordinate officials. The facts have been brought to the attention of the Department heads and thousands of petitions, memorials and letters have been sent to President Wilson, but up to this writing he has not seen fit to rescind this infamous un-American policy. The clerks who have been humiliated by the segregation orders are in no sense wards of the government. They have won their places by examination and women and the government which they have so faithfully and efficiently served has no right to place upon them this badge of dishonor. It is not a question of social equality that chimera which so many Caucasians claim to fear, but of civil equality which is the right of every citizen. Heretofore the attempts to degrade the citizenry have been the work of individual states in the Southern tier; the Federal Government must be held responsible for this new attempt to establish that impossible thing, caste in a Republic. Honest fair minded Americans feel that the fair fame of our country is being trailed in the dust; they hang is the Nation's shame. We hold President Wilson responsible because in the final analysis the acts of his subordinate officials are his and he has the power to end this injustice by a word. We have not lost faith in the President and we believe that he will carefully consider the many protests which have been made and give the word which a Christian Statesman should give, that during his administration there shall be no segregation or discrimination on account of race, creed or color among the servants of the government. 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 Heifin 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. The so-called governments in the southern states can not last. They are founded on injustice, prejudice and hate. If the Afro-American is worthy of his civil rights he will contend for them and no power on earth can stay his progress. WANTED, A SAMARITAN. Prone in the road he lay.

THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1807 to the end of 1812, 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. 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 national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man a as the black." HINDUS SHOULD BEWARE! Hindu students from practically every leading American university attended the meeting of the Hindustian 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 mistaken for Afro-Americans and being subjected to the insult and degradation of the jim crow car and other devilish devices of that benighted section of the country. Dr. W. Ward Platt, of Philadelphia, is very anxious to convert the Asiatic people living on the Pacific coast to Christianity. Judging by newspaper reports, it would seem that the Caucasians themselves need to be converted to true Christianity. The Asiatics are behaving themselves, making money, educating their children and conducting themselves with more propriety than the white heathen, who endeavor to oppress them. SAMARITAN. dependent.
