NO. 10 COXEY TO LEAD ARMY TO CAPITAL Asserts That There Are Five Hundred Thousand Unemployed in New York City Alone—Gives Out Secret of Cause of Crusade —Suffragette Division May Go Along. New York—General Jacob S. Coxey, who in 1894 made a name for himself when he headed a mighty army of the unemployed who started from all sections of the country to march to Washington, is getting ready to repeat the performance, and if his plans don't miscarry the second Coxey's army will begin its advance on Washington on the morning of April 16. The day set in general's sixtieth birthday, and his "O'Brien" wishing it to be his birthday gift to the city. As in 1884, the army will "hike" by divisions and will represent all parts of the country, from points as far east as Boston, as far west as Seattle, as M. Photo by American Press Association. GENERAL COXEY. far south as New Orleans and as far north as Detroit. The division that the commander in chief will personally lead will be assembled in Massillon, O., the home town of General Coxey. The general is now in New York making arrangements for a monaster division of haples men who he hopes will represent this city when the "army" assembles in front of the capitol at Washington and lays its grievances before the authorities. General Coxey is directing the organization of the New York division. It was here that he told about his plans and his hopes. If even a third of all the unemployed now in the United States, according to the figures submitted by the generalissimo of the whole outfit, manage to reach Washington it will mean that the capital city will be swamped with about 1,000, 000 idle and pennessless men. If all the general went along, according to General Coxey would mean an army of between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 and of this number about 500,000 would be from New York city. "We shall start from all sections of the country," said General Coxey, "and when we get to Washington it shall be the purpose of the leaders to impress upon the government that there is an army of the unemployed in this fair land of ours and that it is a mighty huge one at that. "Today are between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 more unemployed in this country than a year ago, and something must be done, and that's why the army is being organized to march on Washington. The country will finance the undertaking, just as it did in 1894, the people in the towns and villages through which the various divisions will pass be counted upon to the army by bismuth by food and shelter by bread, to marchers. And the people will help, too, when they realize what it all means." At this point General Coxey let out a secret. It was the "why" of the whole great undertaking. A conspiracy, he said, had been entered into by the rich men of the country. "First of all," said General Coxey, "these conspirators wanted to have a certain sort of currency bill passed—a bill that would suit it to a t." And they got it, although they managed to get it through the bill, which were against it. The bill it passed was a Wall street measure pure and simple, and its passage disclosed to me the fact that President Wilson had turned against the people and was now with the Wall street crowd. "Secondly, the conspirators have a scheme to force the interstate commerce commission to grant a 5 per cent increase in freight rates. Thirdly, they begin to give smaller orders for railroad equipment, closing many plants and compelling the others to reduce prices in order to get business. This threw thousands of men out of employment." STUDENTS EARN $109,604. Teach Foreigners English, Translate and Pose For Advertisements. Chicago. By posting for artists who draw advertisements for men's clothing, by instructing classes of foreigners in English, by translating foreign correspondence for business houses and by various other means students at the University of Chicago, who are working their way through school, last year earned a total of $100,004, or an average of more than $38 each. The annual report of the employment bureau of the university gives figures showing that many of the students earned from $2 to $2 a day, according to their talent. However, most of the gilled were as waiters, stenographers, Nearly all of those assisted by the bureau were men. Of the 1,111 students employed only 117 were girls, who acted as tutors and companions to invalid. Half a dozen football players since the close of the season have been posting as artists' models at the rate of $2 an hour. Other students found positions as chauffeurs, clerks and cashiers in hotels, settlement teachers, solicitors and guards and motormen on the elevated railroads. FOOD SHE TOUCHES FATAL. Professor Chantemesse Reports on the Strange Case of a Pasty Cook. Paris—According to Professor Andrea Chantemesse, inspector general of the service of hygiene and a member of the Academy of Medicine, a woman pastry cook at Chole, near Nantes, has been directly responsible in the last ten years for ten deaths and fully 100 serious illnesses. As a result of the investigation of deaths due to poisoned cream at a wedding feast in Chole on Nov. 4, 1913, the professor concludes that the cook was a perfect instance of the rare phenomenon of a human microbe carrier, saturated with deadly bacilli. Further inquiries show that the same woman prepared the creams causing similar tragedies at Sulciperles in 1902, at Saint-Macaire the same year and at other places in 1906 and 1911. My food she touches, especially of a creamy nature, is almost certain to be impregnated with microbes of gan-tro-entertis. Professor Chantemesse was assisted by Drs. Ploc, Rousseau and Rodriguez, who tested the theory on guinea pigs and obtained positive proof. CITY A DEALER IN GROCERIES AT COST Municipal Store In Chicago Has Proved Big Success. Chicago—Father Dearborn (that's the nickname for Chicago) has opened his "sales at cost" grocery for business. It is in a neighborhood where the winter cold and the lack of work have caused considerable distress. County Agent Meyers has been designated as store boss, and his head clerk is Douglas Cleary. An appropriation of $25,000 was made jointly by the city and county to relieve the immediate needs of the poor, and it was decided to open a city store where staple foods might be bought at cost. One hundred and twenty-five customers spent $130 on the first day. Only persons deemed in need of the benefits of the store are permitted to buy at the cost prices. Circulars were sent out to families whose names are on the list of the bureau of charities. These will be provided with cards, and those who wish to buy at the store will be asked to present the cards. The storekeeper, however, is permitted to use discretion if he considers applicants are worthy. Those who are without cards and are out of employment or in difficult circumstances because of illness are given a chance to register at the store and their cases investigated. Alderman James H. Lawley, who added M. Meyers in planning the store, presented to the municipal markets commission at an afternoon meeting a graphic illustration of the part played by the cost of food in the average family's existence. It showed that almost all of the food consumed at the family table. The commission made by Frederick Rex, municipal referee librarian, were based on the investigations of the Massachusetts commission on the cost of living. LET THE UNFIT DIE? Sir William Ramsay Thinks That Class is Coddied Too Much. London.-At the annual dinner of the Institute of Sanitary Engineers Sir William Ramsay raised the question of whether the unit should be left to die. Sir William surprised the audience by asking whether it was right that people should be so coddled as they were. Where they were doing something to prolong the lives of the unit, would it not be better to let some of them die out? he asked. They insisted on children getting an education, he said, and they came to school starved. Then they had to give them breakfast, and they had to find boots for them. Ultimately, he said, they would have to take over the child entirely. He added that he wondered where that sort of thing was going to end. FORMERLY REVENUE RAIDER Change of Administration Has Deprived Him of His Position—Tells in a Most Interesting Manner of His Ride to Captain McDougal—Was Feared by Carolina Moineens. Anheville, N. C.—Changes in the internal revenue service made by the Wilson administration have retired from Uncle Sam's payroll one of the most picturesque figures in North Carolina, Daniel A. Knipe, a former revenue raider, who is said to be the only American survivor of the ill fated force under the immediate command of General George A. Custer. Mr. Knipe has the distinction of having carried the last order issued by Custer just previous to the massacre on the Little Bighorn river in Montana in 1876. Mr. Knipe has retired to his home at Marion, near Asheville, since the change of administration has deprived him of his place as a revenue raider, but his name is still a word to conjure with in the districts where corn liquor is made without paying tax to the United States government. As a raid, Mr. Knipe was probably the most feared Asheville district, one of the largest in the United States, and the same course that an enormously on a mission through a country infested with hostile Indians has caused him to venture into dark corners of the mountains in search of illicit distillers. Kanipe was born at Marion and was raised on a farm, but ran away from home at the age of nineteen to enlist in the army, walking across country to Lincolnton, where he enlisted in Company C, Seventh regiment, United States cavalry. The company was commanded at the time by Captain V. K. Hart. Before long the young man was promoted to a sergeanty and attached as a scout to the command of General George A. Custer in the campaign against the Sloux Indians under Chiefs Sitting Bull and Rain In the Face. He was with Custer on the morning of June 25, 1876, at the Little Big Horn, when the Indians were beginning to close in around the little band of American soldiers. "I had the fastest horse in the service," Sergeant Kanipe says, "and he could single foot faster than most cavalry horses could run. Captain (later Thomas) Thomas H. McDougal, in command of Troop B, was about five miles in charge of the pack train carrying our spare ammunition and raiders." "General Custer ordered me to find Captain McDougal and tell him to bring up the pack train with all speed, as he (General Custer) believed that a great battle was about to be fought. With this last order of General Custer's I slipped away from camp on my horse, Yankee Mike, and after sneaking a bunch that discovered me and gave chase, I made my way to Captain McDougal's camp and delivered the order. "We started at once to the relief of General Custer, but by that time he was surrounded by Indians, and it required two days of hard fighting to make our way across that five miles of territory. While I was gone and while we were fighting our way back to Custer's position Sitting Bull and Rain In the Face, with their 4,000 Sloux devils, surrounded his force and after a hard fight butchered them. "When our relief force reached the spot where the heroic Custer had made his last stand we found the bodies of my former comrades lying in twisted heaps, just as they had fallen under the blows of the Indians. Some of them had mercifully been shot, but many more were lying with crushed and shapeless bodies and heads battered in by the war clubs of the Indians. "I had seen service before that, and I saw service afterward in the campaign against the Cheyennes in Nebraska, but I never saw a battle in which I thought the Indians were repaid for the massacre of General Custer in his hero troops. "Two other men escaped from the massacre, I saw a Crow Indian scout named Curley, who since learned is living in St. Louis in Indian costume probably helped him to slip away while the battle was raging, and an Italian trumpeter named Martine, who I have heard has been in Buffalo. How he managed to escape I have never been able to learn." Mr. Kanile after leaving the army secured a position as deputy internal revenue collector. His most cherished possessions are the old faded blue uniform which he wore on that memorable ride for Custer and the saber and pistol he carried as a member of the Seventh cavalry.

Defective Page TO CUT COTTON LOSSES. Farmers Gain 475,000.00 acre. Farmers' Gain $75,000,000 a Year by Standard Grades. Save Smith. Washington - A saving of $75,000,000 a year, the growers of the south, it is estimated by Senator Smith of South Carolina, will result if the amendment he proposes to allow agricultural appropriation will be adopted. He would appropriate about $1,000,000 to furnish each shipping point in the south with a set of government standard grades of cotton, together with a set of samples showing the spinning value of each grade, so that hereafter producers of cotton might not be deceived by buyers and by values arbitrarily fixed by cotton exchanges. Senator Smith received from the department of agriculture the results of Photo by American Press Association. SENATOR R. D. SMITH. its tests as to the different grades of cotton standardized by the government, the amount of waste in converting a given number of bales into yarn, the actual strength of the yarn from each grade, the bleaching of cotton and yarn from each grade, and the cost and result of bleaching. Only the "full grades" were tested. "Taking the whole findings," said Senator Smith, "on an average, the difference between the high grades and the low grades, as now quoted in the market, is from $10 to $15 a bale. Assuming the average crop at 15,000,000 bales, it is conservative to estimate one-half of the crop to be below mid-month. Therefore you would have 7,500,000 bales, the middle grade, and, calculating that the farmers have lost, because of the lack of this knowledge, an average of $10 a bale, it would mean an annual loss to the cotton farmers of $75,000,000." Chicago.—A medical survey of China, the object of which will be to find a way to prevent the frequent plagues in China and further to safeguard public health there, is to be made by President Harry Pratt Judson of the University of Chicago under the direction of the Rockefeller foundation. At a meeting of the board of directors of the university President Judson was granted a leave of absence from March until October. This time, in company with Mrs. Judson and a medical expert not yet selected, President Judson will spend in China gathering data on the medical and surgical profession there and obtaining information relative to the methods used for protecting public health. President Judson is a trustee of the foundation. "There is no doubt the loss of life in China from lack of modern medical methods and sanitation is frightful!" said Dr. Judson. "The members of the Rockefeller foundation have received numerous reports on conditions in China. "They now want first hand information from a member of the board and so delegated me for the work. "I shall leave about the first of the month, although the date of departure has not been set definitely as yet. I expect to be gone about six months. We shall go by way of Europe, visiting a few of the principal cities, and go by way of the Siberian railroad to Peking. We expect to visit practically all of the principal cities in China, although we shall not go much farther into the interior than Hankow. "From China we shall go to Japan, where we shall visit one or two points, and then return home by way of the Pacific." WORKED SIX YEARS, GOT $5. Was Also Allowed a Shave and a Hair Cut at Sheep Shaving Time. Mason, Mich.—A story of six years' toll with a stable for his bedroom and $ his salary for the entire period was related by Arthur Pomeroy, who has returned to his father, a farmer in Gladwin county. Pomeroy said that for six years the only time he had a haircut and shave was at sheep shearing time once a year. Pomeroy disappeared six years ago, when he father's family took a trip to their old home in Ohio. He said he had gone to work for an inlamb county farmer, who had paid him only $ and held him there for six years. MANY HUNTERS EXPECTED. Animals About as Approachable as Cows in a Pasture—Pasture's carnival Expected—Hunters Must Secure Licenses and Report to Game Warden Every Time a Deer is Killed. Springfield. Mass. The state wide open season for deer in the week beginning Nov. 17 will be a notable hunter's carnival. Deer have been rigidly protected in Massachusetts, and the first open season, three years ago, was restricted to the five western counties. In spite of three open seasons deer are now more numerous in the hill towns at than at the time of the Revolutionary war, in which period they were unprotected. Farmers' complaints of the depreciations of deer were defy turned to advantage by hunters as an argument for a state wide open season, which will be given a trial this fall. The greater part of the 10,000 or more deer in the state are in the five western counties, but in the open season, when the woods and hills resound with the report of firearms, the frightened animals face eastward in droves. This year the flight of the deer, unless it be over the borders of another state, will not avail, and it is expected that the slaughter will be much greater than last year, when about 1,000 deer were killed. The law requires that all hunters shall be licensed and that a report shall be made to the fish and game commission of every deer killed. The penalty is so severe that the provisions are generally observed. Notwithstanding that deer in parts of Massachusetts are almost as approachable as cows in a pasture, and in many towns by the exercise of a little patience they can be prevailed upon to eat from one's hand, the open season has a fascination for thousands of hunters. In Springfield alone last year more than one thousand hunters' licenses were issued. This year a small army of hunters from Boston and other cities in the eastern part of the state will participate, not to mention New York and Philadelphia hunters, a majority of whom are stock brokers. Game wardens are of the opinion that there will be a hunter for nearly every deer, and that when the 1914 legislature convenes the surplus deer population will be the least of its troubles. Principal restrictions of the open season are that no hunter shall kill more than one deer, that the meat shall not be resold, that there shall be no resort either to traps or salt licks and that no weapon other than a shaggun shall be used. To minimize the danger which attends the presence of so many hunters in the woods a special statute has been passed which prohibits hunting for birds or quadrupeds with rides, pistols or revolvers during the open season for deer. In former years a large number of deer hunters have used rifles, and if detected would insist that they were bird or rabbit hunting and that the deer was killed accidentally. The new law eliminates this excuse. Candor compels the statement that deer hunters are guilty in too many instances of unseemly depredations, and the utter disregard of the rights of others by a comparatively few hunters has led to the posting of thousands of acres of land by indignant farmers. Some idea of the increase in the number of deer in Massachusetts may be gained from the damages which the state has been called upon to pay to farmers. As it is unlawful to kill deer except under great provocation. The state has also deemed necessary to compensate farmers for damages to orchards, gardens and growing crops. In 1903 the state paid $237 to settle deer damage claims. In 1908 the amount had risen to $4,370. Last year Massachusetts farmers collected $16,000 for the depredations of deer. FRIENDS PLANT CROPS. Two Hundred Horses Plow 230 Acres For Sick Couple. Larned, Kan.—Because Mr. and Mrs. Roy Connard had been sick for several weeks and could not plant fall crops forty of their neighbors went to their farm home near here and plowed 130 acres of whent land and cut 100 acres of sod. About 200 horses were used in the work, which was completed in a day. Every detail of cultivating the ground and planting the crop was carried out like clockwork, the workers being divided into companies with captains. Run Over by Blind Steer. Nashville, Tenn.—"Uncle Billy" Hunter, mate on the steamboat Henry Harley and one of the oldest men in active wife of the Cumberland river, met with a serious accident. Some cattle were being loaded at Cedar Bluff, and there was a blind steer in the lot. Not knowing that the steer was blind, Mr. Hunter stood in front of the gate to the cattle pen when it was opened, and the blind animal ran over and trampled on him, bruising and injuring him badly.

Relationship Revealed In Strange Manner Stops Marriage Greeley, Colo.-Just as they were leaving to procure a marriage license and have the nuptial knot tied by a justice of the peace Miss Mary Hardy, a homeester near Buckingham, Weld county, discovered that Frank Cameron, a neighboring homeester, to whom she was engaged, was her brother. Miss Hardy fainted, and it was some time before she could be revived. The discovery of the relationship between Miss Hardy and Cameron, the real name of both being Howard, was brought about through Cameron wear, the first time in her presence a small gold earring setting as a fob for his watch chain. "Where did you get that ring?" faltered Miss Hardy as she noticed and then inspected it. "My sister gave me that to remember her by the last time I saw her twenty-three years ago," answered Cameron, astonished at her agitation. "Then you are my brother!" exclaimed Miss Hardy and fainted. When Miss Hardy was reviled she proved their relationship beyond all doubt by going to her jewel box and taking from it a silver coin bearing the date of her brother's birth and his initials, which he had engraved when a boy. It appears that the brother and sister were deserted in childhood by their parents and later were adopted in different families. MODERN ENOCH ARDEN. "Widow" Sues For Insurance Eight Years After His Disappearance Years After His Disappearance. Aberdeen, Wash.-Dismissal of an action in the superior court for recovery of a $3,000 insurance policy brings to light the discovery that William I. Cogdill, formerly of Hoquam cruiser, is alive, though his wife and friends believed him dead for eight years. In April, 1904, after bliding his wife and children farewell, Cogdill left Hoquam on a cruising expedition to Oregon. From Oregon he wrote two letters to his wife, and in the latest he said he would be home in a few days. He would time until a few weeks ago, when he found in a platinum mine in northern California, nothing was heard of him. His wife, after an exhaustive search, gave him up for dead. Since Cogdill's mysterious disappearance Mrs. Cogdill has supported herself and children by operating a boarding house in Hoquam. She waited eight years and then sued for the insurance her husband had carried. NEW SCHEME TO KEEP HUSBANDS AT HOME Wife, Left Alone, Fakes Story of Battle With Intruder. Chestertown, Md.—The mystery surrounding what was supposed to have been an attack upon Mrs. Jesse Hurd while she was alone in her home, a short distance from town, on a recent Saturday night was solved when Mrs. Hurd, who had stated that she had been assailed by a negro, but had driven him away by cutting his head and hands with a carving knife, broke down and confessed to State Attorney Vickers and Deputy Sheriff James Bolton that the whole thing was false and that she told the story to keep her husband in the habit of asking her husband in the habit of leaving home every night after supper and not returning until late. So she killed a chicken and smeared the blood on the floor of the dining room and on the outside of the house to give him the impression that she had been attacked. When the husband returned home about midnight on the night of the alleged assault his wife pretended to be in a terribly nervous condition and stated that she had been attacked by a negro. She showed her husband the carving knife and the blood stains on the floor and around the premises, and he notified the state attorney and the police who immediately began a search for the body in the country and woods surrounding the house were scoured without result, and Detective Hogan was ordered here from Baltimore to unravel the mystery. Mrs. Hurd has the sympathy of all defenseless women who are left alone by inconsiderate husbands, but the officers will be shy of future like experiences. WEDDING FOLLOWS FUNERAL Not Until Thirty Years Elapse Does Woman Eat Fruit, Meat Woman Feel Free to Marry. Detroit, Mich.-An engagement between Miss Belle Parry, an assistant principal in the Craft school, and Silas Hopkins that had extended for a period of thirty years was fulfilled in the marriage of the couple beside the casket of the bride's aged mother, Mrs Araabella Parry, the wedding ceremony following immediately the funeral services, for the dead. Not till her parents no longer needed her was Miss Parry ready to-reward her betrothed. Her father was laid to rest ten years ago, and Miss Parry devoted the years since then to the care of her mother, who had passed her ninety-fourth birthday when she died. $2.40 PER YEAR NAVY AVIATORS PLAN SEA FLIGHT PATENT DECISION A FAGTOR Men Who Will Endure to Win Hand- sensitive Prizes That Have Been Offered Inspect Machine and Seek to Create Improvements—Will Fly at Altitude of One Thousand Feet. New York.—Lieutenant John H. Towers, U. S. N., who has been mentioned as the American aviator who probably will fly the Rodman Wanamaker transatlantic flying boat with Lieutenant John Cyril Port of England, held a conference with Mr. Wanamaker and Glenn H. Curtiss, who is building the flier. After a conference with Mr. Wanamaker Mr. Curtiss took the two aviators to his factory at Hammonds, N. Y., where they went over the structural details of the machine. After a conference, which practically gives the Wright company a mononym of the aviation industry Photo by American Press Association. LIBUTENANT J. C. PORTE in the United States, continues to be a source of great concern to those interested in aviation. An official of the Aero Club of America said that it was unlikely that the club would sanction any flying event until after a definite decision as to royalties was reached by the Wright company. An associate of Glenn H. Curtiss, who was one of the defendants in the recent litigation, said that Mr. Curtiss would be willing to pay almost any royalty asked by the Wright company in order to be allowed to continue the manufacture of the flying boat he has perfected. Henry Woodhouse, publisher of Flying, believes the Wrights will grant privileges to make, sell and fly machines under reasonable royalties. "The logical policy of the Wrights from a financial point of view," he said, "is to do what they can to develop the industry by making their conditions as easy as possible." It is expected that a definite decision about terms will be reached at a meeting of the Wright company to be held in New York. The trip to New York of Lieutenant Towers, who heads the navy aviation camp at Peninsula, Fla., was taken by members of the Aero club to indicate that the navy department was interested in the event and would not deny permission for Lieutenant Towers to make the flight. The lieutenant laughed at the talk that overocean fliers would lose their way. By flying low, at an altitude of not over 1,000 feet, he said, the drift of an air craft can be calculated almost as the drift of an ocean liner. It is the same drift for a plane "dead reckoning" at 4,000 feet and above the skyline is lost in the mist, according to Lieutenant Towers, that it is even impossible to see the outlines of ships against it. Thus it would seem if Lieutenant Towers is chosen to navigate the Wanamaker flier in the flight for the Lord Northcliffe prize he will favor flying about 1,000 feet above sea level instead of 10,000 feet, as was at first thought most feasible by Glenn H. Curtiss. WEDDED IN QUARANTINE. Bride, Bridegroom, Rabbi and Witnesses Wrapped in Antiseptics. Cincinnati—With the bride, bridegroom, the rabbi and the witnesses swathed in antiseptic wrappings, Miss Theresa Peyser and Milton Newman were married at the home of a friend of the couple. The young woman is a hospital nurse. The wedding date had been set, but Miss Peyser became ill with scarlet fever and was quarantined. Newman insisted that the wedding be carried out as planned, and the board of health guarded the nursery present. A health officer and nurse were the only witnesses. Rabbi Julian Morgenstern, the bride and bridegroom were wrapped from head to foot in antiseptic bandages, and immediately after the ceremony the bride was taken to a hospital. She is well on the road to recovery. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEALS 49 E. 4th Street, St. Paul, Minn. ST. PAUL OFFICE No. 236 Union Block, 49 E. 4th St. J. G. ADAMS, Manager.

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. C. O. Lobeck of Nebraska. 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. Sillas 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. AFRO-AMERICAN RIGHT WORD. We congratulate our up-to-date temporary the Chicago Defender on its new "make up". It is chock full of news and presents a fine appearance We are especially pleased that the Defender has adopted the word Afro-American as a racial designation. It is a shame that it is necessary in this alleged land of the free to differentiate between Americans, but it is true. Who has not been disgusted by the To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. 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. use of the word Negro with a small "n" as is almost invariably the case in the daily newspapers. Although the words Jew, Mexican, Filipino, Chinaman, Japanese are always capitalized, Americans of more or less African blood have been described as "negres" and "negresses," as if they were wild animals. In view of the fact that not more than one-third of the Americans of African descent are of pure Negro blood it follows that the word Negro is not correct, while Afro-American would include people of various percentages of admixture and if generally adopted the daily papers would be compelled to capitalize it. The word Afro-American has been used by THE APPEAL for thirty years. ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST. A number of colored newspapermet recently in Nashville, Tenn., and among other things decided not toprotest against segregation "owing tothe changing attitude of the Southern whites." The attitude is undoubtedly changingbut it is for the worse. Therewere more lynchings in 1913 thanin 1912; the unjust franchise lawsare still in force; segregation in the government service is a matter of fact;ghettoes are being established in manySouthern cities; the jimcar car is still running; discriminating lawsare being enacted by "our good friends"in the Southern legislatures. Thousands of wrongs are being done everyday. THE APPEAL believes that the newspapermen have made a very serious mistake in this the greatest crisis since the civil war. We should always protest against wrong. It is not necessary to use violent or abusive language; a protest may be couched in courteous terms. The principal mission of the colored press is to aid in righting the wrongs of the race. If it fails to do this there is really no excuse for its existence. Judge Willis of the criminal department of the Superior Court of Los Angeles, California, sentenced a young colored man to thirty years in the penitentiary for highway robbery, although his only loot was a white girl's kiss. When the fact became generally known that so unjust a sentence had been imposed white women sent in protests, threats of recall and denunciations. Deputations of white women visited the judge to demand that action be taken to save the young man from such severe punishment. Telephone messages informed him that petitions were being prepared for his recall. Other women called in person to say that steps would be taken to procure a pardon from the governor. The action of the women shows the difference between California and the South. If the "highway robbery" had occurred in Vardaman's state there would have been a lynching. 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 what-soever." 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. RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE REPUBLIC'S SHAME. 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 examinand 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 their heads in shame. It 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 beale. 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. 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. 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 bellithe 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 fincrow Christianity? If you have anything good to say of THE APPEAL tell it to your friends. If you have anything bad, tell it to "Hustling" Morgan, the agent.

O ve baseball fans, for you are the product of a radically wrong attitude toward athletics. Witnessing professional ball contests tends to harmful excesses and immorality. Thus spoke Harvard's world famous strength ex- tensions. Dudley A. Sargent, recently. He said that the game is "the excitement attending ball games as they are played at present is harmful. Our baseball fans nowadays are devotees of a game in exactly the same sense as are those fascinated by watching a roulette game or other games of chance. "Attendance at these games means that thousands of men and boys and even women become unduly excited over the athletic prowess of professional players. They leave the ball grounds with nerves tingling and spirits exalted if the game goes well, and the question is, What outlet do they want? The answer is emotions thus aroused. I was tempted to leave the subject with an interrogation point. "There is nothing wrong with a ball game as such any more than there is with a theatrical performance as such, but such games arouse emotion without furnishing a motor outlet. This would not be the case if the game, were actually played instead of watched. We are overdoing one phase of the so called love of sport. "There is nothing in this bothouse form of athleticism, and the less we have of it the better." BISHOP PREPARES TO DIE. Chooses Grave, Orders Cross and Calms Monument Maker. Trenton, N.J.-Bishop McFaul of the Catholic diocese of Trenton, in good health, is preparing for death. He has just chosen his last resting place and ordered his monument, going about the day, though it were an every day incident. For his grave Bishop McFaul has chosen a plot of ground in front of Morris hall, a home for aged women at Lawrenceville, erected by the bishop several years ago. Douley Dooley, a marble cutter, was somewhat when Bishop McFaul ordered him to make a Celtic cross to be placed over his grave until the bishop assured him that he had no intention of dying soon. IS DONE WITH PULPIT BECAUSE OF CRITICS Fort Smith, Ark.-Members of the congregation of the Hemphill Presbyterian church have been balloting on whether they will accept the resignation of their pastor, the Rev. J. P. Hicks, just now a floorwalker in a hosiery department of a big department store. The preacher is hoping to accept his resignation, for a taste of floorwalking has spoiled him for the pulpit. Hicks's advanced ideas of the theology invited criticism among his foock, and without apologizing he resigned. Many of his church members, however, sympathized with him, and the ballot was taken as the best means of determining his relative popularity. The preacher and W. G. Burton, department store head, are close friends. Burton not long ago commented on the lack of help during the Christmas week. "Hire me," Hicks said. "If they accept my resignation I'll need the money to meet old obligations." "You're on." the merchant said. And Hicks went to work. The floorwalker went home tired the first night of his new work, which was a Saturday night, and the next morning he preached a sermon on "Why I Resigned, or Cogs In the Wheels of Progress." Hicks is a deep student and until he took his new job never knew anything familiarly but theology. Some of the more staid members of his congregation regard his latest venture as the most daring and unconventional thing he ever attempted, but it is not his first departure from convention. $5,000 WHEN HE EARNS $1,000 Uncle Leaves Legacy Under This Condition to Nephew.

SO ee gegen ie eee faces are alate eae with the Consus Bureau. Congressmen Stevens, of St. Paul, Smith, of Minneapolis and Browning of N.'J., joined last week in urging the Director of the Census Bureau to include in its next Bulletin on the Negro data showing the number of homes owned by the Negroes in. the Middle, Northern, Eastern and West ern states. ‘The Negroes of the North were apprehensive that this showing was only to be made by the Depart ment covering the Southern states, and as the Bulletin will show the criminal element of the Negroes of the North, it was thought advisable to secure a showing of one of the good qualities of the Northern Negro, The Director of the Bureau has consented to make the showing suggested. ‘The following is a copy of Mr. Stevens’ Igtter on the aubject: Washington, D. C., Feb. 26, 1914. Hon. Wm. J. Harris, Director of Census, ‘Washington, D. ¢. My Dear Mr. Director: , ‘Your cireular letter ‘received with enclosure relative to the work of your Bureau. You have made great. pro gress since assuming control of the office and we all hope and expect it will be even more so in the future. A number of my Negro constituents have been writing me relative to the Negro Bulletin. ‘They are extremely anxious for the next report to contain data. showing the ownership of homes in the Eastern, Central, Northern and Western states. They are of the opin- fon that the next Bulletin issued by the Census Office will not show this information. This information would be extremely valuable:as it would show the Negro’s position as a taxpayer in these states and his thritt and in- dustry, as in acquiring ownership of property he must provide for the nec- essaries of life for his family. I sin- cerely belfeve that this information would be. of much public interest and of value as well as an inspiration to these people. I very much hope that you may see your way clear to have this Information contained in the next Te- port by your Bureau on the Negro. ‘With best wishes and again assur- ing you of my appreciation of your many courtesies, I remain, ‘Very respectfully, (Signed) F.
