HOW GIRL'S FAITH SAVED JENNINGS Candidate For Governor of Oklahoma Former Convict. TURNING POINT IN HIS LIFE Ten Years Ago High School Girl Smiled Confident Trust Into Eyes of Desperate Man Just Released From Prison—Now He Explains That Her Belief Turned Tide of His Life. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Once an outlaw, train robber and convict, Al Jennings is now one of the leading candidates for governor of this state. But that is another story. This is how he was made to lift his head and see something bright in the future. A girl of sixteen was traveling across the state with her grandparents. She was a high school student of Edwardsville, Ind., and carried about a pretty safe map of human nature in her own little head. Her grandfather met Al Jennings in the smoking car. Alice Jennings in the girl thought that Jennings looked very alike spite of the fact that his face was scanned and married with a thousand wrinkles. His smile, however, was like the smile of all humanity. And there was ineradicable dignity in his five feet five inches. He said his name was Mr. Jennings and he had been talking to Alice's grandfather of train robbers. Mr. Jennings knew everything in the world there was to know about train robbers. He described them in graphic detail to the light of his intimate knowledge. Alice Warder had never in her life spent a more thrilling two hours. It was dark and Mr. Jennings was still talking. Alice's grandfather drew AL JENNINGS. his wife to another seat, leaving Alice to drink in more adventures. "Miss Warder, I have deceived you a little bit. I guess. I talked as if I had only heard of these holdups from other people or maybe read about them. The fact is I planned every one. I am a train robber myself. Got sent up for it. I am just out of the Leavenworth prison. "I thought I'd tell you about it so you wouldn't think I had imposed on you. I'm through lying. Never did lie except when I had to. There is mighty little difference acting a lie to a girl like you and telling one. I am going to tell your grandfather about it in the future." Suddenly Alice, with her knowledge of human nature—this girl believer in the innate goodness of bad men—had an impulse that the man who witnessed it has never forgotten. He says now it had a great deal to do with changing the drift of his life, then black with defeat. Alice Warder, her eyes shining, stretched out her hands and cried: "I don't care about your past—I don't care a bit—so long as your future's all the same." Five minutes more and the two parted. The ex-convict went on riding in the smoking car toward a future of which until that night he thought usually with cynical contempt. The man and the girl with hopeful eyes did not meet again for ten years. Now she is Mrs. L. O. McLean of Pittsburgh. Recently the mull ushered a caller into Mrs. McLean's library. And without other warning a well dressed little man, his face very lined and his hair very red, stood before her. "AJ Jennings: "Alice Warder" It was the first time they had met in ten years. Both had many stories to tell during the four hours conversation. "Goodby, Alice." The farewell came after dinner "Have got to get back to Oklahoma. And, set. I'm going to run for governor out there in the spring. Among other things the Oklahoma prison is reformed, and they want a man who is familiar with the problems from the inside." And Mrs. McLean gripped the little man's hand. There were tears of gloom in her eyes. "You'll win, take it from me," she said. "Don't I know what you can do?" FED PEROXIDE TO HENS. Only One of the Flock of Thirty New Survives. Rochester, N. Y. - John B. Cramer had a fine flock of chickens which he was desirous of selling. He was told by a prospective purchaser who looked at some of the eggs that the eggs were not white enough for the market to which he was shipping. A friend of Mr. Cramer advised him that small doses of peroxide of hydrogen fed in water or mash would aid his hens to produce eggs of the proper degree of whiteness. Cramer made the experiment and thought the eggs were growing whiter, but not fast enough to suit him. He then increased the dose. His hens soon stopped laying eggs of any color, and one of them died. Now all that is left of his flock of thirty is one old rooster, which Mr. Cramer would like to give away to some worthy person. BIGGEST HYDROAEROPLANE. Makes First Trip=Designer May Try Atlantic Flight In 1915. Paris—The biggest hydronerplane in the world has just made its first trip on the Selle. The boat is 8 meters 70 centimeters long by 2 meters 60 centimeters wide. It has two planes, each 27 meters long and 145 square meters surface. There are two motors of 200 horsepower. The machine carries two plots, two mechanics and enough gasoline and oil for 1,600 kilometers. It weighs, thus loaded, nearly five tons. It was built by an engineer. Maurice Couch with the aid of M. Janson. M. Collin with the aid of M. attempting a transatlantic flight this year. 1915 he hopes to try, with a flying boat of larger size—one twenty meters long—first a Mediterranean and then an Atlantic flight. PICKS POCKET WHILE KISSING Italian Thief Employs Novel Ruse to Plunder American. Rome--Dr. John Francis Hurle's pocket was picked in the Plaza Despagna the other day as he emerged from a bank where he had cashed a check for $150. In relating his experience to the police Dr. Hurle said that what surprised him was the way the thief accomplished his purpose. "He embraced me and tried to kiss me on both cheeks in the true Italian fashion," said the doctor. "I freed myself immediately and the man apologized courteously and apparently was sorry for the mistake. When he disappeared I discovered the loss of my wallet." Bureau of Fisheries In Bulletin Tells of Advantages. Washington.—The bureau of fisheries has issued a bulletin to show folks how to smite the high cost of living by eating less meat and more salmon. Statistics are presented to show that one can buy more bone, muscle, blood and brain building material for less money by purchasing salmon than by purchasing most forms of meat. One pound of canned red salmon, according to the bureau of fisheries, will cost of the best quality of nutrients 16 cents. The same quantity in the form of strictly fresh eggs would cost 36 cents; steak, 33 cents; mutton, 32 cents; chicken, $21½ cents; smoked ham, 13½ cents; pink salmon, 12½ cents. The best grades of fisheries find, are richer than meats in body building materials and contain about the same amount of fats. Pink salmon, which is a cheaper grade, is better than meats for making flesh and bone, but has less fat. "Either is as digestible as the best shred, because there is no waste, and has nothing to do away except the can," says the bureau. "The cost to reduce more salmon, especially of the cheaper grades, and less meat. Meets spool quickly in the home. Canned salmon will keep indefinitely if unopened." ASKS DIVORCE AND RECALL. Sheriff's Wife Seeks Liberty and Loss of Husband's Job. San Francisco. In addition to having brought divorce proceedings against Frederick S. Eggers, sheriff of San Francisco county, his wife announced in a signed statement that she would circulate a petition for his recall from office. They have lived together thirty years. "This is not spite work," said Mrs. Eggers. "I simply do not believe that Sheriff Eggers is a fit man to be in a public office." In her statement Mrs. Eggers outlined testimony which she had given before the grand jury. Missing Father Found. Decatur, Ill. - Mont Schultz, who was said to have drowned in the Sangamon seven years ago and who was recently discovered in Sharon, Pa., working under an assumed name, returned to Decatur to visit his wife, which occurred of his wife, one son eighteen years old and girl seven years old. The family will be united again, but expects to move from Decatur. RABBIT SKINS BY MAIL. Sent by Parcel Post From Washington State to Paris. Tacoma. Wash.—From Chewelah, in Stevens county, this state, 80,000 rabbit skins have just been sent by parcel post to Paris for manufacture into furs. The shipments were made by men who rounded up many rabbits and paid ranchers for thousands more. Ranchers hope that a market will be found for millions of jack rabbits, now regarded as pests throughout eastern Washington and Oregon. Each package of pelts for Paris required a blank customs invoice on a linen tag specially provided by the postoffice. Surrounding counties and adjacent states are deluging Chewelah with letters of inquiry regarding the rabbit market. The department of agriculture is seeking information to assist in extending the market. TWENTY DOGS TO EACH BABY. Legislator Shocked by Conditions in Boston's Back Bay. Boston.—That the Back Bay has twenty dogs to every infant, a full score of kennels to each perambulator, was the assertion made by Representative John L. Donovan, the "Mayer of Chinatown," in opposing the bill authorizing cities and towns to provide for the care and disposal of homeless dogs and cats. "Out in the Back Bay," he said. "There are more cats and dogs than there are children and I am not surprised if the Back Bay has been alarmed over its unfortunates. I say let the Back Bay take care of its cats and dogs. I hope the bill will be killed." BLOOD FROZEN 40,000 YEARS Taxidermists Discover Liquid In Animal Found In Ice Block Paris.-The taxidermists at the Natural History museum are now preparing the body of a rammoth which lived 40,000 years ago, and it found frozen in a S. anglabarock. The animal was so large that it had to be quartered before being brought to the Paris museum. The experts discovered in a vein a few drops of brownish substance which proved on analysis to be blood which had remained liquid through 400 centuries. The carcass in excellent condition, the hide being intact and the flesh showing no signs of decomposition. WOMAN TAKES JOB AS TOWN MARSHAL Offer, Made in Spirit of Levity, Accepted by Writer. Chesaning, Mich.-Blanche D. Ingalls, editor and part owner of the Chesaning Monitor, a weekly newspaper, has been appointed marshal to all the acency caused by the dismissal of the man officer some weeks ago. She has formally accepted the appointment and says she will work the work of improving the morals of the town at once. The old marshal was dismissed because the village officials had no money to pay for his services, and he was no sooner off the job than things that upset the peace and dignity of this stald little town began to happen. Miss Ingalls also began to write and in her paper said uncomplimentary things about the way things were being run. The whole place was "going to the bad because there was no one to maintain order," she often hinted. But the officials remained firm until now and kept the marshal job open until a special meeting of the council was called and the president named a member of the place. The other members declined to join the appointment and Miss Ingalls' name was suggested. The vote for her was numerous, partly, she says, "because they thought I wanted to run the town." At the outset Marshal Ingalls faces a knotty problem, as there is no jall "fit to house a human." "And, she says, "I am never going to lock anybody up in that place they call a jail. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to do something. Things will begin to pop here pretty quick and I am going to be right in the center of the popper." LONDON HAS ESCALATORS Thirty Thousand Ride on "New Toy" the First Day. London.-London has been given another new toy to play with. Escalators at Charing Cross Embankment station connecting the district and the Waterloo railways were opened, and it is estimated in the first three hours 10,000 persons had made trips on them. When the escalators ceased revolving in the early hours the total cargo for the day probably reached 30,000 passengers. Proposes $15,000,000 Air Fleet. Washington.-A $15,000,000 aeroplane fleet was proposed in a bill by Representative L'Engle of Florida. He painted a picture of cities being destroyed by bombs and compared the foreign air fleets with that of the United States, which, he said, was composed of "twelve obsolete man killing aeroplanes." TO TOUR STATES IN LABOR STUDY TO TOUR STATES IN LABOR STUDY United States Industrial Commission Announces Hearings. HOPES TO SOLVE PROBLEMS Looking For New Ideas Along Constructive Lines—Labor Men of Chief Cities to Furnish Data—Some of the Subjects That Are to Be Inquired Into and Cities to Be Visited. Washington—Public hearings in important industrial centers from New York to San Francisco will be held during the spring and early summer by the United States commission on industrial relations. This announcement was made by Frank P. Walsh, chair man of the commission. The hearings, according to Mr. Walsh, will embrace in their scope all the main divisions of the inquiry directed by congress. Among the cities that probably will be visited are New York, Philadelphia. Photo by American Press Association. FRANK P. WALCH. Boston, Paterson, Scranton, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Wheeling, Charlotte, Green- ville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Louisville, New Orleans, Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Chicago, Houghton, Milwaukee, Madison, St. Louis, Kansas City, St. Paul, Davenport, Trinidad, Dallas, Houston or Galveston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Butte and Lead. Through examination of witnesses competent to speak for employers, trade unions, other labor organizations, unorganized employees and the general public, the commission hopes to obtain information concerning the industrial situation that will lead to constructive recommendations. Some of the subjects to be inquired into in each city are irregularity of employment, possibilities of ending irregularity and increasing production through scientific management, the activities of trades unions and employees' protection, and the extent and operation of government machinery for regulating the conditions of industry, including the relations between employers and employees. Successful methods of maintaining harmonious relations beneficial to both employers and employees will be inquired into particularly, with a view to their adoption in other centers where no such methods have been tried. Eminent authorities in subjects to be included within the scope of the inquiry have joined the staff of the commission and are now aiding in planning the hearings. Witnesses desired by the commission will be summoned under the authority granted it by congress and volunteer testimony will be welcomed. Announcing the plan for hearings, Chairman "The commission will carefully avoid acting as a board of mediation and co-operation and will not allow itself to draw into local controversies or recognize such controversies unless in doing so it can obtain information that has more than local and temporary significance. "Every interest will be given a hearing. The commission will strive to put aside all bias and prejudice. It will urge others to do the same in the hope that the industrial problem may be studied in the light of reason. The open mind will be our watchword, and we shall endeavor to provide a forum where men represent all factions can meet in the common purpose of finding a way out from bitterness and strife. To accomplish this we shall need the co-operation and help of all concerned. We shall ask those who meet with us at the hearings to come not as employees or employees, but as men belonging to the same human family. "The hearings will undertaken as one means of carrying out the instructions of congress to inquire into the industrial situation and to report our conclusions and recommendations. "The commission wishes in particular to invite the help of every person who has a constructive suggestion. Such suggestions will be especially welcome when they are supplemented by testimony as to the successful carrying out of the ideas they embodied. Defective Page HOG CHOLERA IS FATAL Department of Agriculture Warns Farmers on Swine Diseases. Washington. At least 90 per cent of all deaths of hogs from disease in the United States are caused by hog cholera, assert specialists of the department of agriculture in a statement issued in response to numerous inquiries from farmers concerning methods for distinguishing hog cholera from other swine diseases. Farmers are urged to remember that cholera kills millions of hogs where other diseases kill thousands, and attention is called to the fact that prompt administration of anti-hog cholera serum is essential to success. "From a practical standpoint," says the department, "the important thing is that hog cholera as soon as possible after infection is detected that the serum may be applied before the disease progresses too far. Good serum may be depended upon to protect well hogs, and even to cure a large percentage of those in the earliest stages of the disease, but it will not be of much avail when used upon hogs that are already visibly sick." PURE FOOD BOARD IS DEAD Secretary Houston Abolishes Body That Seemed Nilified To Them That Caused Wiley's Troubles. Washington. The board of food and drug inspection in the department of agriculture, which often was the center of attack by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, of chemist, has been abolished by Secretary Horton. At the department of agriculture it was said the board had been abolished in the interest of efficiency and economy. Dr. Carl Alsberg, who succeeded Dr. Wiley as pure food chief, will decide the appeals that formerly went to the board. He will be assisted by Dr. R. L. Emerson of Boston. Dr. Wiley hotly attacked the pure food board in unmeasured terms at various stages of his administration, deceived operations administered and the pure food law. Under the new plan, the forcement of the pure food law will virtually be intrusted to one man. That was what Dr. Wiley contended for. DESIGNS FOR NEW CURRENCY ARE READY Three Kinds to Be Printed Under the New Law. Washington.-Designs for new paper money, to be issued under the currency act, have been prepared by experts of the bureau of engraving and printing for submission to John Skelton Williams. This money may not be needed for months, but Director Ralph will have the designs ready within a few days, and as soon as Mr. Williams has secured the approval of Secretary McKenna, will publish and a few millions will be printed. There will be three kinds of new currency—one for emergency purposes, succeeding the present but never used emergency currency; one for federal reserve banks issued against United States bonds, with the circulation privilege, and the third one-year gold notes, to be issued to banks against United States bonds, but not to have circulation privilege. These designs contemplate the present size of paper money, although the plan of the Taft administration for smaller bills may be reflected in future issues. The law authorizes notes of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100. Present designs have the five dollar note bearer of Lincoln, the twenty dollar note that of Cleveland, the twenty dollar note that of Jefferson and the fifty dollar note that of Grant. Varied phases of human activity are depicted on the backs of the notes. As provided by law, currency issued to particular reserve banks will bear serial numbers as distinguishing marks. $53 FROZEN IN ICE CAKE. Pocketbook Found by Cutter in New Jersey Pond. Whippany, N. J.-While cutting ice on a pond near his farm here Edwin Sanderson came across a black object frozen into one of the squares of ice which he was hauling to his storehouse. After cutting away the ice he found a purse containing $38 in bills and 48 cents in change. On a postal inside, addressed to "Lillian Hoffman," were the lines: "Yours till the ponds of hades freeze over and the little devils go skating." It was signed "Charlie." No one in this section knows "Lillian Hoffman," and it is thought the pocketbook had been carried down the Passaic river and backed up in one of the streams here which feed Sanderson's pond. DINNER BY PARCEL POST. Woman Offers Complete Chicken Feast For Four. Boston—A woman of Durham, Me. is advertising a cooked dinner of chicken, plum pudding, gravy, hard sauce, cranberry sauce, mince pie, pumpkin pie and vegetables delivered any time by parcel post. She put a little advertisement in a local newspaper, and orders began to pour in upon her at once. She sends enough these good things for people in the village. All that is necessary to prepare the dinner for the table is to warm it. AUTO WHEEL DOES DAMAGE. After Wrecking Kitchen It Sits House on Fire. South Norwalk, Conn.-The wheel of a large automobile, said to have been going a mile a minute, went through the pantry window of Mrs. Isabelle Seymour's home here, sending dishes in all directions. Then it entered the kitchen, knocked the stove to pieces and set the house on fire. Next it hit the other side of the house, which stopped it. The wheel, which weighed more than 100 pounds, was broken from the automobile of William Ricker of New York as it was coming down steep Armory hill. The wheel gained momentum for a hundred feet or so, then knocked over a fence at the side of the road and went down a precipitous incline to Mrs. Seymour's home. "UNDESIRABLE" SHIPPED. Locked Up In Tool Box of an Outgoing Locomotive. Springfield, Mo. — How ten fathers horsehipped a man who had been accused of improper conduct at his boarding house and then shipped him out of town by locking him in the tool box of a locomotive, was told to the police chief here by a committee of citizens who had been summoned to police headquarters. The affair occurred the night previous, and its victim, according to the report to the police, was Jerry Malone, an employee at the St. Louis and San Francisco (Frisco) railroad shops. No trace of Malone could be found the next day, and Frisco officials were asked to open the tool box on every locomotive between here and Newburg, Mo., as it is believed he was sent to that town. SNOW ENTOMBS FOUR IN TENT Hunting Party in West Forced to Dig Fifty Foot Tunnel. Reno, Nev.-Marooned by a twelve foot fall of snow, R. D. Hawley, an eastern banker, and three companions on a hunting trip were forced to spend a week in a tent on one of the peaks of the Pewain mountain range. The snowstorm was so severe that the men were obliged to remain in their tent until their provisions ran out. They then dug a tunnel fifty feet long and succeeded in killing some game. One of the party fell and sprained his knee. Mountain lions prowled about the tent and once even penetrated into the tunnel, but were driven away. APPEAL BY TILLMAN ABOLISHES SMOKING Senate Votes to Forbid Tobacco at Secret Sessions. Washington.—There will be no more smoking behind closed doors when the senate is in secret session nor in the secret party caucus room. The fragrant Havana will be put away voluntarily by the senators, at least so long as Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina is one of their members. This was decided by a unanimous vote. "Pitchfork Ben," who is sixty-seven years old and was given up by his upstairs dead four years ago after a stroke of his mind, finds that tobacco smoke nauseates him and cannot take part in the secret proceedings because of the tobacco fumes. He introduced a resolution to abolish smoking in secret session. It was abolished in open session marty years ago. But for the personal appeal of the aged and infirm senator in a whimsical speech it is not likely that the resolution would have been adopted. All of his colleagues are very fond of him. He read a letter from Senator Root of New York indorsing his request. The South Carolina senator appeared the new role of health lecturer. Not only did he smoke the tobacco bobble, but he said most people digging their graves with their teeth. Overeating and other forms of high living, he said, were killing his colleagues. NEW FUEL FOR FURNACES. Pulverized Coal May Revolutionize Steel Making. Sharon, Pa.—Officers of a steel company are elated over the successful result of experiments conducted with pulverized coal in an open hearth furnace. The first heat with the new fuel was drawn off recently. Not only was the quality of the metal higher, but more heat was made in much less time than is obtained by the old method. The new furnace is the only one equipped for pulverized coal, but officials declare several will be erected immediately. Steel men state that the use of the new fuel will revolutionize open hearth steel making. Girl Bests Hole Digger. Morgantown, W. Va.—Miss Emma Brouhser, a young girl, compelled a gang of workmen employed by the West Virginia Traction and Electric company to lose a half Jay's work when she jumped into a hole they had dug in order to erect a pole in front of her father's home. After waiting for several hours for the girl to leave the hole the foreman decided to place the hole at another place. $2.40 PER YEAR: SEEKING SHARE OF CHINA'S BUSINESS Attempts to Impress State Department at Washington With the necessity For Instant Action In Order that Americans May Share Profits—Other Nations Have Acted. Peking, China.—The Americans of North China have formed a society under the style of the American Association of North China to foster the interests of American commerce. They want a commercial attachment to be assigned to duties of investigation throughout China following the practice of other nations, which keep a lively propaganda campaign afoot on behalf of their nationals and they are appealing to the American state department to appoint such an official. Foremost among those who recognize the need for activity is the new minister, Paul Reinsch. Dr. Reinsch brings to his office a keen perception of the tremendous possibilities which await intelligent effort in this field and a desire to see the American flag holding its own if not topping the bunting of other nations. Careful investigations have shown him that Americans have great opportunities for a market which is not only valuable but which it is also necessary to cultivate now in order to have it equipped when the opening of the Panama Canal will cause the westward drift of trade to become more and more pronounced. The association, if it develops along the lines the founders have in view, will be a proof for the government. It will vigilantly protect American inter DR. PAUL REINSON. ests, advise the administration upon conditions and suggest action best calculated to keep American commerce moving with an upward tendency rather than stagnating or slipping backward. The first desire, therefore, is for the appointment of a commercial attaché, whose duty it will be to report constantly upon commercial conditions, journey to various centers and make compilations which will be of material benefit to those engaged or who wish to engage in operations in this part of the world. The consuls at many ports already contribute valuable aid in this direction through their commercial reports, but a consul is restricted in his sphere. The commercial attache would have more of a roving commission, and his information could be first hand. Other nations have such officials constantly on the lookout for new avenues. As a matter of fact, this proposal is not new, and being investigated by the previous administration and the probability is that a commercial attache would have been at work in China had there been no change. That it is a desirable one is obvious. China is the largest market in the world that is in process of development. Railway communication is being pushed ahead vigorously. Within the past year the government signed agreements with foreign financiers for the construction of more mileage than has been allotted in the past thirty-eight years. Every other nation is serving energetically to lay foundations for commercial development, while America the logical supplier, is idle. Americans appreciate this the full, and the formative and the lasting association is their answer to the question as to what they are doing to try to make the home land understand that there is a magnificent market awaiting exploitation, but which will not be permitted to await much longer. Other nations are wide awake and are securing the plums as fast as they can gather them. She Wins Haircut and Shave. Ortley, S.

A statue of Jeff Davis, the arch trator who tried to disrupt the Union in order that human slavery should be preserved and extended, is soo to be added to the collection in Statuary Hall in the Capitol at Washington. The statue will be a contribution to the Nation from the state of Mississippi. The more or less grand old Commonwealth of Mississippi has contributed the arch demagogue Vardman who represents the state in the United States Senate, because its Afro-American citizens have been robbed of their votes. Mississippi has also contributed to the world the greatest number of lynchings which have taken place in any state in the Union. The unlawful and unjustifiable slaughter of Afro Americans has made Mississippi a veritable shambles. Whither are we drifting? What is to be the end of a Nation which permits its citizens to be murdered by mobs; accepts as Senators men who openly boast in the Senate Chamber of the murder of their fellows; a Nation which attempts to degrade some of its citizenry by discriminatory laws and allows the segregation as lepers of men and women who have won their places after severe tests and in spite of the prejudice against them? A statue of Jeff Davis in the Capitol at Washington! God preserve our Nation! 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 super- PROTEST-AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest.

The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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. vision 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. Denvay 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. ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST. A number of colored newspapermen met recently in Nashville, Tenn., and among other things decided not to protest against segregation "owing to the changing attitude of the Southern whites." The attitude is undoubtedly changing but it* is for the worse. There were more lynchings in 1913 than in 1912; the unjust franchise laws are still in force; segregation in the government service is a matter of fact; ghettoes are being established in many Southern cities; the jimcrow car is still running; discriminating laws are being enacted by "our good friends" in the Southern legislatures. Thousands of wrongs are being done every day. 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. AFRO-AMERICAN RIGHT WORD. We congratulate our up-to-date contemporary 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 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 "negroes" 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. UNJUST JUDGE DENOUNCED. 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 RACE PR I am convinced myself, evil thing in this present judice; none at all. I the worst single thing and holds together most abomination than any world. Through its book of coarse lust, suspicion and all the darkest soul. 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 soul. —H. G. Wells in N. Y. Independent. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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. A MILLION YEARS Recently a leading daily paper said that the Afro-American had been in contact with civilization only fifty years and therefore was not yet ready for higher education. Some Afro-Americans are also telling us that we are a child race only fifty years old and although we have made remarkable progress we must not go too fast. Now comes Dr. Hans Reick of the Berlin University and reports the finding of a fossil human skeleton in German East Africa which is possibly a million years old and is held to prove that a highly developed race of men inhabited the African continent. The oldest skeleton found in America is claimed to be only 100,000 years old and skulls have been found in Europe which are supposed to be from 200,000 to 500,000 years old, so brother Afro-American whether you are a mixed blood with American, European and African blood or a pure African, and any body comes around handing out any dope about the child race just tell him he is a—a-prevaricator. 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. John Arthur Johnson in a recent letter to the Cleveland Plain Dealer says among other things: "The whole world wants to see a white man champion. * * * * I bar no one when I get my price. Moran's backers meet my terms and all the others have the same chance as Moran. * * * * The public wants a white man to be my successor. I am ready to fight 'em all and bar no one, at $30,000 aplece. So, all the "white hopes" understand what they are up against. Johnson is the recognized heavy weight champion of the world and the fact that he is black makes him none the less champion and anyone who aspires to the title must win it by licking Lil Arthur. It is said that President Wilson wishes to show the Afro-Americans that he is not illimited 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. SCORES SEGREGATION 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 the president of the United States, they (the colored people) count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interstate race in the United States." This statement completes satisfaction to those leaders of the colored people and the friends of the race who were urging them to withdraw from their thraldom to the Republican party, vote for the Governor of New Jersey, and ground that the country would profit most by the election of the Democratic ticket. Qualified observers believe that many more colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. It was with dismay, therefore, that early in the Administration of Mr. Wilson, whose Cabinet is equally between Southerners and Northerners, became noticeable in certain quarters by restricting it to the colored people. For a long time no appointments of Negroes were made by the President. Then Wilson, for the dam E. Patterson of Oklahoma for the dam E. Patterson of the Treasury, a place long by colored men. Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from the most violent negrophobes in the South, so lent a loke Smith of Georgia, Wardana, Georgia, and Tillman of South Carolina, and other declaring that Patterson should not be confirmed, or any other colored man, for an office which would put him in the position of the clerk. With abject cowardice Patterson asked the White House and demanded that his name be withdrawn. Unwilling at this time to meet the issue thus set forth, Wilson consented to his request, until he received a land and Roosevelt, who, under similar circumstances, put the responsibility on the Senate by continuing to nominate the colored candidates for office and Northerners to recess appointments when the Senate is in session. Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cherokee Indian as Register. 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 roustabouts, or corrm loafers, or worthless laborers, they have men and women, college graduates of them, from all over the country who passed their civil service examination and entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking for the right to serve on equal terms with the law. The readers of The North American Journal will understand the bitter humiliation the segregation orders if they can imagine themselves set apart as unworthy by brute authority, but they may appreciate the added sense of injury that comes from the fact that this is an important Government. The colored people have born as patient as the children of Israel bore their burdens, the wrongs of disfranchisement, the lynchings of burnings of innocent and guilty, the crimes of the Crow" car, the constant personal whiteies; these were the acts of individuals or of States lately in rebellion. But that the Federal Government, under whose flag they have agilely they have been struck their fetters from the limelight now take the side of the oppressors in the year of the fifthth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation—this is what is hurt and ranks in the face. Is it any wonder that one of the leaders of a place of national renown writes that he never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as to-day? 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 respect. The man in charge of the President are not the 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 tutor, of every oppressor, of every perpetrator of racial injustice in the South or the North. But the folly of raising this race issue does not stop there. It differs but very little from the one that rent the Union. The United States was, in its simplest terms, nothing else than an attempt of an aristocracy of cotton and land to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the white men, of the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the disfranchised and enfranchised, the disfranchised and enfranchised, of Government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—the are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never know peace or justice. The criminals among its citizens. Upon their heads will be the responsibility of forcing the issue. To oppress any group of human beings, or to deny them full equality, to be court disasters, to be a terrible reckoning, to come a terrible reckoning.

THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1097 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color lines. Among other things, Sir Sidney "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 as the black." WORK FOR VARDAMAN AND SMITH. Investigation of the history and habits of the parasites of the cotton boll weevil in a more comprehensive way than ever is proposed by Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture. He wants more funds appropriated with which to employ experts. Here is an excellent opportunity for Senators Vardaman and Hoax Smith and Representatives Heflin of Alabama and Clark of Florida to employ their talents. Instead of spending their time in vilifying Afro-American citizens over whose backs they have illegally climbed into power they might make speeches in Congress in favor of an appropriation to eliminate the boll weevil. This would really aid the South. 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. 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.

HINDUS SHOULD BEWARE! Hindu students from practically every leading American university attended the meeting of the Hindustan Association of the United States at Chicago last week. They are trying to encourage the young men and women of India to attend American schools. It may be all right now but if the number becomes very great they would be treated in America just as Aro-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 Aro-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. turned from Panama, speaks of the "wonderful work of Christianizing the Panamans, Chinese and Negroes." If the work being done there is Christian, the writer prefers to be a heathen. THE APEAL has in its possession a little pamphlet which states in plain English that only "white" people are admitted to the Y. M. C. A. Many semi-public organizations in the United States draw the line on the brother in black, but the writer has never seen a booklet stating the fact in plain words. 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. The Department of Justice now announces that there will be no prosecutions of technical violations of the Mann Act where there is no coconnection with commercialized vice. Care was taken to avoid this view of the law until Jack Johnson was convicted. A writer in one of the papers says that the spirit of Chicago is wanted in the South. He of course referred to the hustle and bustle of the great city. It might be well also to take along a little of the freedom from race prejudice so creditable to the city. MALE STENOGRAPHERS AND TYPEWRITERS IN DEMAND. The United States Civil Service Commission announces that while it has no difficulty in securing sufficient female stenographers and typewriters to meet the needs of the departments at Washington, the supply of male eligibles has not been equal to the demands. "Ongen men who are at least 18 years old, are required to accept the usual entrance salaries, which are $40 and $000 a year, have excellent opportunities for appointment. While the entrance salaries are low, advancement is reasonably rapid to those meriting it.

BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION. Is Addressed by Rev. A. H. Lealtad at Its Last Meeting. An honest earnest effort is being made by the business men among us to better conditions commercially and looking to that end the Colored Men's Business Association has been duly organized and for the past few weeks has met regularly at the Valet Tailoring Company, 154 E. Sixth street, and there are about 35 members enrolled. The officers are: T. H. Lyles, president; Dr. O. D. Howard and Jos. S. Strong, vice president; A. J. Wilmore, secretary; Wm. Gardner, treasurer. At the meeting held last Monday evening the members of the Association were addressed by Rev. A. H. Lealtad, rector of St. Philips Episcopal church, who said among other things, "That he felt honored in having the privilege of addressing the body of men representing the commercial and industrial life of the race in St. Paul. While times have changed I warn you, gentlemen, that the fundamental principles of conducting business are the same as they were centuries ago. To you young men just starting in business, I would be happy to hear with yourselves and with your customers. Have confidence in your selves and in your patrons. Do not think people of your race must deal with you simply because you are colored men. Treat them square and honestly, even wants and needs in your line of business. Again, have confidence in your ultimate success, persevere, display the bull dog tenacity and you are bound to succeed. "Dark and trying times are experienced by almost all business men; such neroids serve to bring out the real qualities of the man. Demonstrate to your customers your interest in them, strive to serve them to the best of your ability and they in return will be more considerate toward you, more bound to looking mistakes which are bound from time to time. "In conclusion I love your business, take interest in it, let in fact become a part of yourself and the star of victory is sure to shine forth upon your efforts." Rev. Lealattd's remarks were listened to with apparent pleasure by the members and frequently warmly applauded. Mr. T. D. Parker was present and gave a brief but helpful talk for a few moments. He was followed by Mr. J. H. Charleston, after which the meeting adjourned to meet again at same place and hour next Monday evening. MINNESOTA DELEGATES.
