KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS Man Who Sold Newspapers on Streets of Chicago When a Boy Wins Distinction as a Legislator, Promoter of Big Business Enterprise, Secret Society Leader and Scidler. Chicago.—Foremost among the young men in Chicago who are making good is to be found Major R. R. Jackson of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. He is a charter member of the Eighth regiment, national guard, and is at the head of the largest printing establishment operated by the race in this city. Major Jackson was born in Chicago Sept. 1, 1870, and received his early education in the public and high schools. He obtained his early business training by working as a newspaper merchant. He sold papers at Harrison and State streets nearly forty years ago, and by this he was able to care for his grandmother for a number of years and at the same time attend school. He also worked as an elevator conductor. Jackson only used his elevator position, however, as a means to an end, because while in this position he met many of the leading men of the city. He took the civil service examination, made good marks and was appointed to a clerkship in the Chicago postoffice, where he made a good record, serving twenty-one years. For twelve years Major Jackson served as assistant superintendent of Armour station, the highest position held by any member of his race in the Chicago postoffice system. While in this position in the postoffice Major Jackson proved his interest in his people. He was instrumental in having appointed 124 men and boys as clerks, carriers, janitors and special delivery messengers and has assisted over 100 men in securing positions in the various railroad offices in Chicago. For a young man he has a splendid record as a soldier. During the Spanish-American war when the Eighth Illinois regiment was ordered to the field Major R. R. Jackson was ready for duty. He made many friends in Cuba and showed while there his military ability. He is now working to secure for his regiment a military home and hopes to see this realized at an early date. Major Jackson was elected a member of the Illinois legislature, but was counted out by the machine. He contested his election and was seated just a short time before the legislature adjourned sine die. He made good use of his opportunity. Immediately upon being seated in the house of representatives Speaker McKinley recognized his worth by appointing him on the following committees: Chicago charter, fraternal and mutual insurance, federal relations, military affairs, miscellaneous subjects and municipal courts of Chicago. The first thing to claim his attention was the various jimcrow legislation pending in the house, and he went about the matter immediately and used his influence to check this unfair legislation. The intermarriage bill was brought before the committee on miscellaneous subjects, and Major Jackson, being a member, right there and then helped to bury it in an unknown grave. Then followed his good work on the "full crew bill," which would have put many men of the race out of the railroad service. This, like the other bill, was killed after the major had got in his work. In this he served his race and the state at the same time. The fifthth anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves claimed his attention, and he introduced a bill appropriating $25,000 for that purpose, which went through without opposition, receiving a unanimous vote.

Mother has left me for the kingdom above, To the land that she journeyed there's nothing but love, She fought the good fight, the faith she kept And seemed willing to leave us, although we all wept. Mother has left me for Christ bade her come, You have run your course, your work is done, Enter thon, now, into Rest, Sweet Rest, Tho' your efforts were weak, you did your best, Sister, Father, Mother, have now crossed the tide, And are resting in Heaven fore'er to abide I shall go to them gladly, when God bids me come, He'll receive me in Glory through the death of his son.

One of Our City Detectives Makes a Good Capture. One day this week our city detective, J. C. Black, made a very important arrest of a man he had been on the lookout for quite a while. The man in question is a white man named George Gray, who had escaped from the penitentiary at Lake City, Ind., where he was serving a 15-year J. C. BLACK. sentence for grand larceny and had served nine years of his time. While in the penitentiary, he saved the money he made and bought a $2,800 home. He came to St. Paul and was at work on the new J. J. Hill railroad building. Detective Black had a description of Gray and finding that it tallied, arrested his man, who made no attempt to get away as he says he is tired living the life of fear he has, since his escape five years ago. He was placed in jail and the Indiana authorities notified of his arrest. Gray will be stuck without the formality of extradition papers. This capture is quite a big feather in Detective Black's cap. The place to have your shoe repairing done in the best possible way at the lowest possible price is at JARVIS', 104-106 East Fifth street.

Then followed a recitation by Francis Bellenes, a solo by Elmer Bradley and recitations by Hattie Bell and Elizabeth Vassar. Two boys sang as a duet "A Song for St. Paul," written to the tune of "My Old Kentucky Home" by Miss Eva Jones.

Many perplexing questions have propounded to government experts, but they are all mere incidents to the puzzle now before the Supreme Court of the United States. It is: "When is a mixed-blood Indian?" It is the contention of the government that the term mixed-blood can be applied only to those Indians who possess a quantity of white blood amounting to one-half or more. This question arises over the term "mixed-blood" Indians, as employed in the Clapp amendment to the Indian appropriation bill of 1806, removing restrictions as to sale, incumbrance and taxation of the allotments. The circuit court of appeals for the Eighth circuit held that every Indian who had an admittance of other than Indian blood, however small, is a mixed-blood. In the three cases decided it was stipulated that one of the Indians' had one-eighth white blood, another one-sixteenth, and the other one-thirty-second, so the court dismissed the cases. The Department of Justice then appealed the case to the Supreme Court. By the way, the question: What is a Negro? has never been decided by the Supreme Court and it would probably be as interesting as the Indian case. THE APPEAL has always contended that Negro is not a proper racial designation for Americans of African descent. To hear men who are not more than one-thirty-second Negro yelling themselves hoarse about being "Negroes," presumably for the purpose of making themselves popular with black men has always seemed very ludicrous. Afro-American will cover all the various admixtures. "GROWTH OF IDEALISM." "Idealism is making rapid growth in America despite the commercialism of the age" is the opinion of Dr. J. S. Lyons, of Louisville, Ky., moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly of the United States. "Americans are be- PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has offmed 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. 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. gining to look at things from a moral standpoint instead of a material one. America is the big brother of other nations." This is a specjman of the loud noise prominent men are handing out to the people. BUT IS IT TRUE? Take for instance, the growth of "idealism" in Louisville, the home of Dr. Lyons. There is no question about the increase of race prejudice since the editor lived there thirty years ago. Even ten years ago who would have dreamed that in 1914 there would be an agitation for the formation of a ghetto for Afro-American, but it is a fact. If there has been any growth of idealism in this country the Afro-American has been left out of the equation. The "idealism" of the great mass of the Caucasians seems to be: What can be done to retard the real progress of my brother of darker hue? How can we humiliate and degrade the race by discriminating laws? How can we prevent him from exercising the rights of a free man? How can we use the Christian religion to degrade the race? True idealism, true morality would abolish Kentucky's infamous color line laws, jimcrow cars and ghettoes. If the Caucasian Christians of Kentucky are doing anything to abolish the color line we have not heard of it. SPREAD OF MOHAMMEDANISM. Every true Christian should be glad to learn of the remarkable growth of Mohammedanism. Among the colored peoples of the world it is outstripping Christianity. This may seem a queer statement but it is true. Christianity is so decadent in America today that there are few real Christians except Afro-Americans. The souls of American Caucasians have been so warped by the infamous color prejudice rampant in this country that in the majority of cases they are not true followers of the Nazarez. Before the awful color line American Christianity stands paralyzed and dumb. There are today 5,000,000 more Moslems than Christians in the British empire. One-seventh of the whole human race is Mohammedan and the proportion is not at a standstill; it is increasing yearly. In Asia and Africa more natives are becoming Mohammedans every year than are turning to Christianity. Today nearly all of the sacred places named in the Bible are under Mohammedan rule. There is a reason why the colored races olig to the religion of Mohammed. It is a religion in which there is no color line. The brotherhood of man is not a mere figure of speech as it is in Christianity, but a living reality. The orientals are too shew to be caught in any large numbers by a jimcrow religion, for that is what it means when Caucasian Christianity gets them into its clutches. The conquest of Colored America for Mohammedanism has not yet begun, but it is coming some day, THE APPEAL believes and predicts and the brotherhood religion will spread like wildfire. FAVORABLE TO TERRELL. The Senate Judiciary Committee has favorably reported the nomination of Robert H. Terrell to be Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. This was done only after a long and heated discussion of the matter. The opposition to Judge Terrell was made entirely on the ground of race, for the members of the committee admitted that seldom had an appointee received better recommendations than had Judge Terrell. The sub-committee to which the Terrell nomination had been referred, consisted of Senators Shields of Tennessee, Fletcher of Florida and Root of New York. Senators Shields and Fletcher opposed Judge Terrell's confirmation and Senator Root favored it. The matter was finally decided in RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself of evil thing in this present w judge; none at all. I write the worst single thing in my and holds together more abomination than any other world. Through its body of coarse lust, suspicion, j tion and all the darkest p soul. 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. BUT IS IT TRUE? Ella Wheeler Wilcox the full-committee. Although the committee has reported the nomination of Judge Terrell favorably, the fight against his confirmation has just begun. Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, who has announced that he will oppose with all his strength the confirmation of any Afro-American to high office, will lead the opposition to the confirmation and he will have strong support from other Southern Senators. It is possible that the nomination may be held up for months. JEFF DAVIS IN THE CAPITOL 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 soon 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 Vardaman 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 shamble. 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! ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST A number of colored newspaper 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 jimcarrow 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. WORK FOR VARDAMAN AND SMITH. Investigation of the history and habits of the parasites of the cotton boll weevil in a more comprehensive way was 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, Representatives Heiflin of Alabama and the House to deploy their talents. Instead of spending their time in vilifying Afro-American citizens over whose backs they might be illegally climbed into power they might make speeches in Congress in preparation for appropriation to eliminate the boll weevil. This would really aid the South. On October 16, 1912, Woodrow Wilson, then the Democratic nominee for President, declared that: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interests of their race in the United States." This has complete satisfaction to those of the colored people and the friends of the race who were urging them to break away from their thraldom to the Republican party and to vote for the Governor of New Jersey on the ground the country would profit most by the election of the Democratic ticket. Qualified voters believe that many more colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. It was with dismay, therefore, that early in the Administration of Mr. Wilson, whose Cabinet is equally divided between Southerners and Northerners, became noticeable in certain quarters as a hostility to the colored people. For a time no appointments of Negroes were made by the President. Then Mr. Wilson, for Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma for the Department of Register of the Treasury, a place colored by colored men, Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from the Senate, most negrophobes in the Senate, least like Hoke Smith of Georgia, Vardaman, Mississippi, Tillman of South Carolina, and declaring that Patterson should not be confirmed, or any other colored office which would put him over white office clerks. With abject cowardice Patterson called the White House and demanded that his name be withdrawn. Unwilling at this time to meet the issue thus request, Wilson consented to his request, unlike Cleveland and Roosevelt, who under similar circumstances, put the responsibility on the Senate by continuing to nominate colored candidates for office and by requesting access appointments when the Senate approved a session. Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cherokee Indian as Register. When a group of citizens holds a few Federal offices as do the colored people, each one takes on a signifi- cation, beyond any question of the salary or position, may be attached to it. This is part of the posts of Minister to Hayt and San Domingo. Not one of the stock Southern objections to Negro appoint- ment here; these ministers are accredited to them, where people the bogue of social equality have raised. Under Mr. Wilson both of these posts have gone, temporarily, it is said, and doubtless for reasons similar to Mr. Bryan, to white men. The coloration of the copies accepted this as notice from the White House that the remaining offices heretofore given to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this news came the startling news that for the first time the history of the Federal Government race prejudice was having full swing in some of the Departments at Washington. What had not been dreamed of, though begun in one office under Mr. Wilson, the ingagement attempted under Mr. Wilson—the segregation of negro clerks, both men and women. It appeared that the Secretary of the Treasury had planned to be the head of an exclusively colored division—to use Mr. McAdock's own words —"that it would give the Negroes an opportunity of national dimensions, to prove their fitness to run, unaled by the important bureau of the Department, and to pay this beneficent undertaking was denied to it, as it appeared that an Indian and not a colored man was to head the division has not appeared; if it had all the merit claimed for it, the colored people should not have been deprived of the quantity of collectively demonstrating the individuality of which, in the individual, has long been known to all familiar with the Government's operations. good enough to die alongside of white men in saving the day at San Juan Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people who are thus branded are not routabusts, or corner loaters, or worthless laborers, educated men and women, college graduates many of them, from all over the country, have passed their civil service examinations and entered the Government's eminent with full faith in its justice, asking solely the right to serve on equal terms with their fellows. The readers of The North Carolina Review will understand the bitter simulation of the segregation orders it then imagines themselves set apart as inimply by brute authority, but they will appreciate the added sense of injury which comes from the fact that this is the case in the Federal Government. The colored people have borne as patient as the children, Israel bore their burdens, the wrongs of disfranchisement, the lynchings and burnings of innocent and guilty, the "Jim Crow" car, the constant assaults of low whites; these were the acts of individuals or of States laterly beilion. But that the Federal Government, under whose flag they have agisg they are, under whose agis they are, which struck their fetters from their lives, should now take the side of the oppressed in the year of the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation is what hurts and ranks below. Is it any wonder that one of the leaders in the race of national renown writes that she has never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as to-day? They rightly declare—as mus every fair-minded man free from prejudice—that this spells castle. They have thee that it is intended to drive the rendering it intolerant for Negroes with selfrespect; they assemble one of the Assistant Secretaries of the ury has already held up the promotion of two colored clerks because of their color. Segregation is, beyond thee an entering wing, and here is the significance of it all. Let a precedent be established, and who shall say what lengths desotic officials to what lengths desotic officials will take their way by means of discrimination, infidiation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall proshey to what extent this castle can be developed in the decades to come? Who can develop people can thus be set apart contracting of the civil-service law and of Constitution itself, why not others. Jews, for instance? * * * * * * * * * Indeed, it may come to pass that Mr. Wilson will go down to history as the soul who set in motion terrible forces for evil without adequate conception or prevision of the dangers he was inviting. What he does not see is that if only one colleen man or woman has been segregated it gives the president a promise to advance the interests of the race and violates his pledge of absolute fair dealing. The men who are injuring the President are not the ones who are segregated, the honor and or honor of the rights or the colored people, but those subordinates who by their official actions have made tribulous the President's Wilson Administration has allied itself with the forces of reaction, and put itself on the side of every persecutor, every oppressor, of every persecutor 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 great struggle which convulsed the United States was, in its simplest form, the battle of an aristocracy of cotton and land to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the free. They were willing to sacrifice the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of human beings—civil and enfranchised, to say that there shall be two kinds of Government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—the they on the high road to convulsion anew this land of liberty, which will never know peace and quiet as long as there are distractions among citizens. Upon their hands will be the oppressors of forcing the issue. To oppress any group of human beings, or to deny them full equality, is to court disaster. For each repression there is certain 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 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. 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." RACE SEGREGATION BILL A bill to segregate all white and colored employees in the government departments was introduced in the House of Representatives recently, 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. Silas R. Barton of Nebraska. Prone in the road he lay. Wounded and sore bestead: Priests, Levites past that way, And turned aside the head. They were not hardened men In human service slack: His need was great: but then His face, you see, was black.

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. 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—prevaricator. 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. Regulation by the federal government of elections of representatives and senators was proposed in bills introduced this week by Senator Sherman of Illinois. He urged the right of the United States to protect the election of its own officers. To which we say amen; 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 libriles has not been equal to the demand, who are at least 18 years of age and are willing to accept the usual entrance requirements, which are $40 and $00 a year, excellent opportunities for appointment. While the entrance salaries are low, advancement is reasonably punished to those meriting it. The examination which any competent stenographer should be able to pass, are held each year, in the year, except December, at the principal cities of the United States. Full information in regard to the examination may be secured by addressing the United States Civil Services Commission, Washington D. C., or the District of Pennsylvania, Post Office, Boston, Mass., Philadelphia, Pa., Atlanta, Ga., Cincinnati, Ohio, Chicago, Ill., St. Paul, Minn., Seattle, Seattle, San Francisco, Cal., Customhouse, New York, N. Y., New Orleans, La., or Old Customhouse, St. Louis, Mo. A SAMARITAN. PART I.
