BLUE READY FOR MEXICAN WAR To Him Is Intrusted Duty of Supplying Vessels. FOUGHT IN CUBA IN 1898. By Giving Cubans Whisky He Was Enabled to Draw Map Showing Exact Location of Spanish Vessels—Story of Brave Exploits and His Promotion In the Service. Washington. -- Do you remember what the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina? Well, the application of that immortal principle made Victor Blue famous. Just now he is Rear Admiral Blue in command of the bureau of navigation of the navy department. That bureau is to the navy a good deal what a peculiarly broad gauged train dispatcher, with collateral authority over the general manager, might be to a railroad. It practically runs the department. During the war with Mexico it will be Blue's duty to see the enemy's ships, and cooled and manned. Between wars will give the commanders their sailing orders. The chief of this bureau is the eyes and legs and right hand of the average civilian secretary of the navy. REAR ADMIRAL VICTOR BLUE when he was Lieutenant Blue, Sampson's fleet was lying outside Santiago harbor waiting for Cervera's fleet to come out. It didn't come. No one was even positive that it was in. "I'll find out," said Blue. He went ashore alone, depending on the guidance and escort of the Cuban patrols who were camped in the tall grass thereabouts. The patrols had been badly skinned up that day in a sharp skirmish with the Spaniards. The Cuban chief was one of the grouchest Cuban chiefs Blue had ever encountered. Wounded patrols were lying all over the camp groaning. Lieutenant Blue asked for guides and an escort. "Not a man!" said the savage general "Not a one!" He maneuit it. That was obvious. So Blue didn't argue the case with him. But in his slender baggage were two bottles of the best whisky that ever softened the heart of man. "My general," said Blue softly, "will you join me in a toast to Cuba libre?" Would he? He did. Blue handled the bottle and filled a tincup so full of whisky that it dribbled down the sides. The general began to gaze on him with misty and affectionate eyes. "My general," said Blue, "before I go, will you not join me in a toast to the allies—the United States and fair Cuba." Blue general did. In another incapable of whisky that was charged with conversation and love. Pretty soon he put his arms around Blue and kissed that young gentleman. "A man you asked me for," wept the general, "and I refused you. Alas, eheu! Take 100 men, my hero!" Blue took eight men and wrigled through the tall grass until he came to the precipitous edge of Santiago harbor. Sparkling in the darkness below him he saw the lights of Cervera's ships. He reported to Sampson, but that was not enough. Sampson wanted the position of every ship mapped, so that the Americans could elevate their guns and shell them over the hills which locked Santiago harbor. Blue went back another night—before he could climb through the grass—and climbed a which overhung the harbor's edge. There he managed by a miracle to make a perfect map of the position of the Spanish ships. Between times he had to come down out of the tree and boot his impetuous patriots into giving up their guns. The tree hung directly over a populous Spanish fort, and Spanish soldiers were within easy potting range. His Cubans wanted to get a few scalps before they went back to the jungle. Blue's map making struck them as academic and absurd and a waste of time. For that exploit Blue was jumped five numbers in rank. for "extraordinary" reasons, and fairly divided the Santiago harbor, with Leventen Hobson, although the latter's feat was more spectacular. HAD MADISON'S RAZOR. Prisoner Said He Was Fourth President's Great-great-grandson dent's Great-great-grandson. Savannah, Ga.-F. A. Madison, who says he is a direct descendant of President Madison, was locked up here after a street fight and after he had surreptitiously razor which he said originally was the property of James Madison. The prisoner was held as a witness and then released. Madison, who was a stranger in Savannah, was set upon and beaten by two men whom he said he did not know. His cries for assistance brought a policeman who arrested one of the men, but was unable to catch the other. Madison also was taken to the station, and as he was being searched the policeman found the razor in the prisoner's pocket. "Officer, please let me keep that," pleaded Madison. "It's against the rules." replied the policeman. "Can't you let me have it? I wouldn't take anything for it," begged the prisoner. "James Madison was my great-grand-father and that razor and the family Bible are all in his possessions that we have left in the family now. I have been hungry and broke and without a place to sleep, but I have never parted with that razor." He took the razor with him when he He took the razor with him when he was released. WOULD DECIMALIZE TIME. Frenchman Proposes Twenty Hores and a Thousand Chrones Fee a Day. a Thousand Chrones For a Day. Paris. A suggestion is made in the current Revue Bleue for the purpose of bringing the chronological system into line with the decimalization of money, weights and distance. A suggestion is made in the division of the day into twenty periods, called horses, instead of twenty-four hours, each horse being similarly divided into fifty-periods, called chimes, each chime—about one and a half minutes—being the thousandth part of a day—as the gram and the meter are the thousandth part, respectively, of the kilogram and kilometer. The chimes are further subdivided into centichrons, the equivalent of a second. The new system would facilitate marine observation, besides simplifying calculations of time generally. The French government, however, shows no inclination to adopt the idea. HISTORY OF MARTHA WASHINGTON WILL HISTORY OF MARTHA WASHINGTON WILL Morgan Tells How Document Came Into His Possession. Washington.—The first authoritative explanation of the manner in which J. Pierpont Morgan came into possession of the Martha Washington will, to regain the custody of which the governor and citizens of Virginia have threatened legal measures, was given out by Mr. Morgan. The custody of Martha Washington was taken from the Fairfax courthouses in 1862." Mr Morgan said, "by a colonel of the Union army, who rescued it from destruction by his men. This officer retained it in his possession for thirty years and shortly before his death in 1892 gave it to his daughter who, thirteen years later, in 1905, sold it to the late J. Pierpont Morgan. "This account she related at the time of the transfer. She stated that her father's regiment garrisoned Fairfax in 1862 and that he had headquartered in another command had previously occupied the place, and the men had broken open the safes. The floors were littered with papers which the colonel's men used in making fires. Entering headquarters one day he found his men shoveling papers into a stove. He stopped them, and in examining the papers found the Martha Washington to "He carefully preserved the document throughout his life, and on the eve of his death gave it to his daughter." The correspondence shows that Mr. Morgan suggested to the governor of Virginia two plans for the preservation and exhibition of the Martha Washington will. 'One is that Mr. Morgan would present the will for public exhibition at Mount Vernon, the other is that the will be preserved in the Washington museum. With both of these suggestions Mr. Morgan couples another, that George Washington's will, now Virginia's property, be exhibited with it.

POPULATION IS 15,000,000. Nation Covers 767,000 Square Miles. City of Mexico 264 miles by Rail West of Vera Cruz and is 7,400 Fewer Above Sea Level—Reached by Two Different Railway Lines. Washington.—The following information concerning Mexico was given out by the National Geographic society in Washington the other day: It is interesting to note that the area of Mexico is practically as great as that of the United States between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic coast, the great lakes and the gulf of Mexico, varying in altitude from sea level to 18,000 feet. Its climate is affected by these elevations and by a range of eighteen degrees of intitude, twelve hundred miles is the distance traveled northward from Juarez, on the northwestern boundary, to the capital, and 900 miles more to the southeastern boundary. The gulf of Mexico and Caribbean sea coast line extends for 1,700 miles, while the Pacific ocean and gulf of California touch 4,000 miles of Mexican coast. Prior to 1836, as a Spanish colony, and the United States covered approximately equal areas, but the Texas secession and the result of the Mexican war added nearly 1,000,000 square miles to our territory, and the extent of Mexico now is less than one-fourth of continental United States. Mexico has still territorial expense due to the aggregate of Auschwitz, Germany, France, Great Britain, and the total area of the republic, 767,000 square miles, is less than that of Texas, California. Montana, New Mexico and Arizona combined. The average density of population of Mexico approximates twenty per square mile, the most thickly populated portions outside of the federal districts being the states of Tixcala and Mexico, the former being less than Delaplata and of about the same density of population, being nearly as large as New Hampshire, but with more than twice the number of inhabitants. The federal district, modeled after the District of Columbia, but of eight times greater area, is surrounded by the state of Mexico, the large population of the capital, 470,000, materially aiding in bringing the average more than 1,200 people per square mile. During nearly 300 years subsequent to the conquest by Cortes Spain dominated Mexico. A century ago a bold effort for freedom was started, which eventually resulted in the republic of Mexico of today. More than half of the first century of Mexican independence was abortive, one coterie after another coming into temporary power, a number of those accustomed raiders, after meeting ignominious death at the hands of the people they sought to govern. The form of government adopted by Mexico follows in general that of the United States, having executive, judicial and legislative divisions. Each of the twenty-seven states is represented in two houses of congress, composed of senators and deputies. Congress holds two sessions each year for limited periods. Each state has its governor and legislature and is subdivided into districts or counties, over which the a "jefe politico" is placed, the district having subsidiary municipalities, with magistrates, presiding officials and councils called autocratic feature of the government may be largely due to the fact that governors hold office with approval of the president, that jefe politicos have similar relations with the governor and that the officers of the municipalities are generally controlled by the jefe politicos. The church and state are independent, and congress cannot pass laws prohibiting or establishing any religion. Of the 16,000,000 inhabitants two-fifths claim descent from ancient tribes or families which are accepted as the basis of Mexican history, two-fifths are of native and foreign blood, the remainder being classed under the commonwealth of foreign. The City of Mexico has 344,921 mile-west of Vera Cruz and 7,400 feet altitude, is reached by two rail routes, climbing through the hot lands through difficult mountain passes, one of which closely follows the trail taken by Cortes in 1519, by General Winfield Scott with American troops in 1847 and over which, fifteen years later, the invading French troops passed. It is the most populous city. St. Paul, Minn. - A sparrow that discovered a way to warm its toes during a recent cold snap is blamed for the destruction of a barn belonging to L. O.

TABLE 10.4 Gueydan, L.—An expedition, headed by Captain B. Boulin from Gueydan, is in the wilds of White Lake, south of this place, in search of the treasure of Pirate Jean Lattite. The party is composed of Dr. J. Milton White, Adam Brasseur and K. P. Foote. Captain J. D. Boulin, a descendant of one of the oldest families of Vermilion parish, has a chart and map left him by his grandfather shortly before his death, describing the totality of the famous treasure. On their trip the Gueydan party launch was hit by the steamer Bobby White. One end of the boat was damaged. His lake also are Frederick Mackenzie, magazine editor, and Charles Tenney Jackson, novelist. They claim to have the reel Lattite chart and started their hunt from New Orleans three weeks ago. Still another party is in the treasure hunt, having started from Abbeville, La. Its identity has been kept secret, however. CLIMATE'S EFFECT ON WHEAT Interesting Experiments Made Prove Soil Is Secondary. Washington. - Experiments conducted by the department of agriculture demonstrate that climate is the chief factor in determining the varying characteristics of wheat grown in different regions. It was announced. To ascertain this experimenters grew wheat for six years in California, Kansas and Maryland on soil taken from each of these states. The results showed that all wheat grown in California, for example, was much alike, whether raised on soil of that state or on soil imported from Kansas and Maryland. The other wheat it differed considerably in the Kansas and Maryland, no matter on what soil were grown. In other words, it is stated the wheat grown on the three soils in one locality was similar in composition and appearance, but quite different from the same wheat grown on the same soils in the two other localities. SENORA HUERTA'S LIFE AN ACTIVE ONE Mexico City.—The daily life of Senora Huerta, wife of the dictator who rules Mexico with an iron hand, is most interesting. Like her husband, she is fond of the social whirl and entertains on a lavish scale. Even while the country is torn with the war, her husband facing deposition at the hands of the United States on one side and Photo by American Press Association. SENORA HUERTA. the rebel troops on the other, Senor Huerta does not give up her social activities. She is fond of the things that her husband likes. On Sundays she attends the bullfights, so popular in Mexico, and like her husband, mingles with her husband. She can be frequently seen in the Mexican cites in the evenings whining, dinging and dancing, and one would little realize the great cares that hang over the shoulders of her soldier husband. She loves her children dear. Her son was recently married. The ceremony was performed about the time American Charge O'Affaires O'Shaughnessy was handed his passports by the ministers of foreign relations. Although he was a hostile government, O'Shaughnessy a close friend of the dictator's family, was urged to remain in Mexico City not as an official representative of the United States government, but rather as a private citizen, and attend the marriage of Senor Huerta's son. Her life is of full activity. She looks not to tomorrow and lives only for today. It is she, desirous of retaining the highest social position in all Mexico and of residing in the National capital, old Indian to hold on to the last day of her occupation of the civilized world and fight for the retention of the position stained by blood of his predecessor. PRIZES FOR THE BEST WORK Value of Chickens For Farmers and Others Pointed Out by Expert—Frequently Entire Family is Clothed From Income Derived From Hen-house—Program Laid Out For Clubs. Washington—In order to teach the value and importance of the poultry industry, the marketing of products and the caring for poultry and eggs, the animal husbandry division of the bureau of animal industry of the agricultural department advocates the forming of boys' and girls' poultry clubs. The plan is advanced by Harry M. Lamon, senior animal husbandman in poultry investigations, and the department promised to co-operate with the clubs and send speakers to the meetings. Ever since the price of eggs went soaring with the cost of living the department has given scientific attention to the subject of eggs and poultry. For instance, it has been discovered that the loss due to the improper handling of eggs is enormous, extending into many millions of dollars annually. It is also an established fact that if the farmer, who is the largest producer of eggs, would take more care in selecting, grading and in marketing his produce he would receive a higher price than the average market price for eggs. On many farms throughout the country, the sale of poultry and eggs buys the process and clothing for the entire family. The money from this source may be substantially increased by establishing a private trade in eggs of good quality with hotels and restaurants. Mr. Lamon has outlined the organization of clubs. It is proposed that any boy or girl between ten and eighteen years old can become a club member by signing the roll and agreeing to set at least one setting of thirteen eggs during the hatching season. Members are not to pay dues or assessments. "Throughout the year," says Mr. Lamon, "meetings should be held to discuss the different problems of poultry management. Whenever possible the department will have one of its specialists present to assist in such problems as may arise and to give information or demonstration in the selection of stock and candling. He will also assist in obtaining first class markets each country club should hold an egg exhibit at least once a year, preferably in connection with the country fair, at which a pair of the best chickens grown by each member should be placed on exhibition. These should compete for the regular prizes offered by the fair association. There should also be a special prize offered by the members of the poultry clubs. An exhibit of the best dozen eggs should also be made. It is also, in my opinion, imperative that each boy and girl shall agree to study instructions of the department of agriculture. The program laid out is a sort of progressive one for the first four years of a club's existence, it being evidently figured that at the end of the four years the older members will have reached the age limit of membership and will be graduates and egg grading and handling. It is planned for the first year of membership that each member shall set at least three settings of eggs from pure bred stock and shall raise seven pullets and one cockerel. All meetings must be completed by May 15th. The management must be submitted to the agent in charge of club work. All meetings must be attended and accurate records kept and sent to the agent. During the second year each member shall be required to raise at least fifteen pure bred pullets and two cockerels. All hatching must be completed by May 10. A pair of birds and one dozen eggs from this stock shall be exhibited at the county or state fair. A composition upon some phase of the work must also be submitted to the agent in charge of club work. Twenty-five pure bred pullets and two cockerels must be raised in the hatching position must also be written and submitted to the agent, a size exhibited sent to the fair as during the second year. In this year May 1 must see the end of the hatching. In the fourth year each member is required to raise at least thirty pure bred pullets and three cockerels. The hatching and rearing of chickens, the condition of stock and cleanliness of coops and poultry buildings, the cost of producing eggs, accuracy and neatness of records, attendance at meetings, exhibits at fairs, and the written articles shall all be considered in the rating of members and awarding of prizes. Hagemean on Pot of Gold. Oroville, Cal.-After having prospected for years along the Yuba river, with little return for his patient work. Frank Davidson has finally made a strike-in an old iron pot. He was walking on a sandbar when his foot struck the pot, which was half buried in gravel. With the impact a few grains of gold rolled out. Davidson scraped the pot and found dust worth $300. ATTACKED BY WILDCAT. Animal Killed In Air as it Leaped on Shoulders of Warden. Bangor, Me.—The life of Game Warden E. S. Hodgkins was saved recently in the woods near here by the quickness and unerring aim of William Ryer, proprietor of a set of sporting camps at Hound Brook lake. The two men had been hunting wildcats with dogs and had killed two of the animals. They were standing under a tree and Mr. Ryer chanced to look upward. Perched on a branch directly above the game warden was another cat, as large again as either of those that had been killed. The animal was creeping slowly forward, his lips drawn back over his glittering teeth and the look of a demon on his savage face. Just as the animal was creeping over the animal gave a start and filled full of Hodgkins, still unconscious of his danger. Ryer, shouting a hasty cry of warning, whipped his 38 caliber revolver from his bolster and fired while the cat was in the air. The bullet struck the animal between the eyes, and he dropped dead. The closest call I ever had, and I never want another like it." Warden Hodgkins said in telling of the affair. SURGEONS MAKE AN EYELID. Patient Had Been Burned About the Head When a Child. Baltimore.—A rare operation in optical surgery was performed at a hospital here when three large pieces of skin were taken from the arm of Miss Trego to make a new lid for her left eye, it is thought the sight of the eye, which was rapidly falling on count of exposure, will be saved by the operation. Already the grafted skin has started to take root, and the patient can partly open and close the eyelid. After the skin was taken from Miss Trego the scarred tissue surrounds the eye and the membrane of the lid were removed. In the denuded area the skin of the patient's arm was grafted. Portland, Ore.-Dead broke less than a year ago and working at odd jobs cleaning basements and yards in this city and now worth $33,000, all of which was secured through his own efforts, is the experience of W. B. Connell, an Alaska miner. A. Davie, deputy city attorney of this city, was the credit for the good fortune which had befallen the lucky miner. Connell came to Davie last July with the story that he knew Judge Davie, the local attorney's father, who was formerly a judge in British Columbia. He had a hard luck story and pleaded for work. Davie gave him some odd jobs cleaning the yard and basement in his house which he paid the man $2. After the year he completed the stranger asked for $4 for a ride to Seattle, from which place he intended to go to Alaska. The man appeared to be honest, and he gave Connell $6. That was the last few days ago, when he received a letter written from the White Horse river, Yukon territory. Connell said he had gone to the Chisma gold hole and had located on three claims. "I have sold the three claims," writes Connell, "to a New York syndicate for $33,000—$20,000 cash. $40,000 in three months and the remainder in six months. So, taking everything into consideration, I have not done so awfully bad since last July, when I was broke. I shall certainly make it you and I will. Portland and see you and your family, and I will quit the mining game, as $33,000 will keep me if I use it as it should be used. "By the way, I have a couple of nuggets to send you and your wife and also one for your sister. I often thought of you and Mrs. Davie. She was a great friend and I was cleaning out your basement. This is a real happening in a miner's life—broke one day and plenty of money the next." Concluding his letter, Connell said the Chisiana country was no place for a person because all the claims were staked and prices of everything are "sky high." HAS KEY TO ALL LANGUAGES French Teacher Invents System of International Correspondence Paris — A teacher named J. Orsut has invented an ingenious system of international correspondence. Every word in the French language is referred to by a number, and a corresponding number is given to the same word in all other languages. Thus a merchant desiring to write to a foreign customer need only turn the words of his own language into numbers, and the customer can retranslate the numbers into the words of his language. Dictionaries based on this system all language are being prepared. M. David, the minister of commerce, has given his approbation to the idea. M. Orsut does not believe in the practicability of a spoken universal language. $2.40 PER YEAR. KOREA A GREAT NATION LONG AGO Built Steel Clad Battleships In Sixteenth Century. EXPLORER MAKES REPORT. Explains Why Advancement of Nation Has Been Retarded and Why Japan Has Forged to the Front—Expresses Great Hope For Future Under Guid- ance of Japan. Washington. — George Kennan, explorer and lecturer, recently communicated to the National Geographic society at Washington the information that Korea built steel cid battleships 250 years before the Monitor and Merrimac were created. The Hermit Kingdom was using movable type and astronomical instruments from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries and employing explosive bombs long before they were known in Europe. He points out that the famous Japanese Satsuma pottery was made originally by Korean workmen, who were imported into the mikado's kingdom. These facts are cited by Mr. Kennan to show the terrific downfall experienced by Korea. He traces her course from her pinnacle of civilization to the depths of degeneracy and expresses great hopes for her future under the guidance of Japan. "While Korea was sinking Japan was rising until the island kingdom, all by her own efforts, became such a world power as to defeat a great European nation," he says. "The Koreans were a mainland people. They had taught the medieval kings all the civilization they had. But by reason of their geographical location they were invaded by vastly inferior peoples, the Mongols and the Manchus. "Korea was influenced to establish demonology as her religion, her blood was weakened by being crossed with that of people vastly beneath her, and her spirit was broken by the indignities heaped upon her by the more powerful invaders. She was under the influence of China, which adopted the semisacred books of Confucius as its national system of education 2,000 years ago. The knowledge of his works and the ability to recite long chapters of his writings were made the chief requirement of the aspirant for honors. As a result, the study of the sciences, mathematics and the phenomena of nature was dropped; the memory was overcultivated and the reasoning power stultified. The habits of the Koreans became unclearly; they grew indifferent to dirt and smells. Japan, on the other hand, was never invaded in her history. Her blood was never infringed, and her stock was allowed to grow. Her national character was developed side influence. The Shinto religion of the empire has as its cardinal principles purity of body, spirit and environment. Japan was not exposed to the scourges and plagues that Korea's dirt and fifth brought upon her. The feudal system sprang up in Japan, causing authority to be respected and discipline to be developed. "In 1910 Japan annexed Korea. Prior to that time as many dead as 900 a day occurred in the city of Seoul alone. Shortly afterward not as many people died from the plague in the whole kingdom in one year. Japan forcibly vaccinated 5,400,000 people in one year. One hundred and sixty-eight courts were established, giving authority to 13,000 gendarmes. Hundreds of miles of roads are being built. Afforestation on an extensive scale is being carried on. "To encourage the silkworm industry 13,000,000 mulberry tree seedlings were set out in one year. State and private banks were established. The postal savings system was installed, and one in every six families has a savings account. The people, at first suspicious, have learned that they will get their money back whenever they ask for it. In the first year after the Japanese company the rice crop was doubled, and the wheat and barley crops grew from 14,000,000 to 38,000,000 bushels. The Japanese have built a model village in every province and are encouraging the people to build similar villages throughout the kingdom." HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

The state of California seems bound to be of some assistance finally in settling the status of the railroad porter in-so-far as tipping has been made a part of his income. The Pullman Company pays the porter $27.50 per month for services and the State of California considers this altogether too small a wage upon which a man can live. Just how much the Pullman Company expects the public to pay per month to each porter to make up the balance of the wage of the porter and just what the company estimates that balance to be, and whether or not the Pullman Company cannot find enough money to pay the porter a living wage out of the enormous "dividends" and "melons," which are cut and distributed almost yearly to the stockholders, are some of the main matters which will be brought to light by the proposed investigation. To this might be added the query as to how much of the linen of the company is paid for out of the regular monthly deductions for "lost linen" from the porter's "princely" monthly wage? Just now the North is overrun by Afro-American beggars, who are collecting contributions for colleges and universities, which are alleged to have been organized for the "uplift" of the race. The Rev.

It strikes at the very foundation of Christianity for among Christians, of every creed, marriage is regarded as a divine institution. There is no reason for such legislation. Caucasians usually marry Caucasians and Afro-Americans usually marry Afro-Americans. The number who marry interracially is wholly negligible. The real purpose of the Bill is to place a stigma upon the Afro-American people. The Clark Bill is really an open invitation to immorality and leaves the Afro-American woman without protection and an easy prey to vicious men of the white race. If there is to be any mixing of the races it ought to be done legitimately in Christian marriage and not in an immoral manner. It is not the proper function of the Government to draw lines of invidious distinction between its various classes of citizens and place on the statute books a law which in effect brands one group of citizens as unfit, classing it with imbeciles, idolts, defectives, degenerates and criminals. And then there is another point of view. The mixing which has already taken place has not resulted in degenerate specimens of manhood. The first blood spilled in the Revolutionary War was that of a mixed-blood—Crispus Attucks. Frederick Douglass, one of America's great orators, a patriot and a statesman was of mixed-blood. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the great literate and sociologist, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the great industrial educator, is a mixed-blood. H. Y. Tanner, the great artist whose pictures have been purchased by the French Government and now hang in the Louvre, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, one of the world's greatest surgeons and who was the first man surgeon in all the world to operate successfully on the human heart, is a mixed-blood. THE APPEAL could name thousands of other mixed-bloods of whom America may well be proud. Every Afro-American in the United States ought to do every thing in his power to prevent the passage of the Clark Bill and all other jim-crow legislation. Write to your Congressman and ask him to vote against and work against every jim-crow Bill now in Congress. "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 beginning to look at things from a moral RACE PREJUDICE. I am convinced myself evil thing in this present judice; none at all. I the worst single thing and holds together more abomination than any o world. Through its book of coarse lust, suspicion and all the darkest soul. —H. G. V 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. standpoint instead of a material one. America is the big brother of other nations." This is a specimen 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 Nazareme. Before the awful color line American Christianity stands paralyzed and dumb. There are today 5,000,000 more Moors 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 cling 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 shrewd 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 AP-PEAL believes and predicts and the brotherhood religion will spread like wildfire. 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 while we say amen: The Afro-Americans of the United States are very much gratified over the confirmation of Judge Robert H. Terrill as Judge of the Municipal Court of Washington, D. C. It was a case of merit winning, despite his color. Good! Col. Theodore Roosevelt will shortly return to this country and then the fur will begin to fly. Oswald Garrison Villard, Grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, Writes a Strong Article for the North American Review, On October 16, 1912, Woodrow Wil- good enough to die alongside of white men, then the Democratic nominee for mine in saving the day at San Juan President, declared that: "Should I Hill are going to know the become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair deal- back of everything by which I could assist them in the inter- ests of their race in the United States." This utterance gave complete satisfaction to those leaders of the colored people and the friends of the race who were urging them to break from their thraldom to the Republican party to their fellows. The reader of the Governor of New Jersey will proft ground that the country would profit most by the election of the Democ- ratic ticket. Qualified observers believe 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, there became noticeable in certain quarters a distinct hostility to the colored people. For a long time no one knew of the Negroes were made by the President. Then he nominated Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma for the position of Register of the Treasury, a place long held by colored men. Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from violent negrophobes in the Senate; violent negrophobes in Georgia; Vardaman of Mississippi; Tillman of South Carolina, and others, declaring that Patterson should not be confirmed, or any other colored man, for an office which would put him over white women clerks. With the Justice Patterson rushed to the White House, where his name be withdrawn. Unwilling at this time to meet the issue thus raised, Mr. Wilson consented to his request, unlike Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, who, under similar circumstances, put the responsibility on the Senate by continuing to nominate candidates for office and by giving them the power when the Senate was not in session. Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cherokee Indian as Register. When a group of citizens holds so few Federal offices as do the colored people, each one takes on a significance far beyond any question of the people. This position that may be attached to it. This position that may be attached to the posts of the Minister to Hayt and San Domingo. Not one of the stock Southern objections to Negro appointments holds here; these ministers are accreted to the colored people where the bog quality cannot be Wilson both of these p. have negro temporarily, it is said, doubtless as satisfac to Mr. Bryan, to white men. colored people at large accepted as notice from the White House that the remaining offices hereforegent to colored men were to was, on top of it, can demand news that for the first time in the history of the Federal Government race prejudice was having full swing up of the departments at Washougat. What did not been dreamed of Mr. Washougat though begun in file under Mr. Wilson—the se, sath, sath, sagro clerks, both men and women appeared that the Secretary of the Treasury had planned to put Patterson at the head of an exclusively colored division upon the plea—to use Mr. McAdoo's own words it would give the Negroes an opportunity of dimensional dimensions, to prove their status to run unaided, whites, an important bureau of the Department." Just why this benefit undertaking was dropped as soon 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 should not have been deprived of the rights to run, constraiting their worth, which, in the individual, has long been known to all familiar with the Government's operations. Defective Page good enough to die alongside of white men in saving the day at San Juan Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people who are thus branded are not routabouts, or corner loafers, or worthless laborers. They are educated men and women, who are educated many of them, from all over the country, and passed their civil service examination entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking merely the right to serve on equal terms with their fellows. The readers understand the American Review will understand the federal regiment the segregation orders if they can imagine themselves set apart as unworthy by brute authority, but they can hardly appreciate the added sense of injury which comes from the fact that the Federal Government. The colored people born as patient as the children of Israel bore their burdens, the wrongs of disfranchisement, the lynchings and burnings of innocent and gullity, the humiliation of the "Jim Crow" can be the personal insults of low whites; these, of course, individuals or of States later in rebellion. But that the Federal Government, under whose flag they have fought in every war, under whose war they have worked, which struck their fetters in working, which should now take the side of the states in the year of the fifth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation—this is what hurts and ranks beyond all else. Is it any wonder that the face of a national renown writes that he never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as to-day. They rightly declare—as must every fair-minded man free from prejudice—that this spells caster. They believe that it is intended to drive them out of the public service by renaming it intolerable for Nerges with self-esteem to the office of the Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury has already held up the promotion of two colored clerks because of their color. Segregation is, beyond doubt, an entering wing, and here is the chief significance of it all. Let me explain. If you want to shall say what the outcome will be to what lengths despicotic officials will take their way by means of discrimination, intimidation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall prophesy to what extent this caste idea may not be developed in the deceleration of the process, people can thus be set apart contrary to the laws of the civil-service law and of the Constitution itself, why not others—Jews, for instance? * * * * * * * * * indeed, it may come to pass that Mr. Wilson will go down to history as the man in motion terrible forces for evil without adequate conception or provision of the dangers he was invited. * And his philosophy, he will remain silent and segregates further, will be wrong, his democracy generally at fault; he has given us his book called "The New Freedom," and in his various speeches prior to and since his election to the Presidency. But nowhere thus far do we and any indication that his democracy against any one is to bring his whole carefully reared edifice crashing to the ground. The principles upon which our democracy rests must in an instantation, as exactly as a law of science, or they are open to doubt at once. Thus, we should not believe in the law of gravitation if it did not apply alike to every human being; we should not impose any law on the human being wireless invention if he could transmit only the first half of the alphabet and not the last. It avails the apologists for the President not at all to say that "The New Freedom" applies to only political and economic problems but an e-nomic and political one? It would certainly be ridiculous for Mr. Wilson, his publishers, to expect any appreciative reading among the millions of distranchised American women and women or white men, of his theory of the coming of a new political freedom at the very moment when there is placed upon the colored by two of his own cabinet an official stigma which no amount of apprehension could overcome. What Mr. Meado does not appreciate is that the slightest set yielding to prejudice on the part of a high Federal official will find a dozen imitators in the lower official ranks who think by outdoing their peers to carry favor with those in power. What he does not see is that if only one colored man or woman has been segregated it gives the deliberate lie to Mr. Wilson's promise to advance the interests of the race and violates his pledge of abolition. The Wilson minister injuring 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 great struggle which convulsed the United States was, its most severe, the attempt 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 dismantle the distranchised and enfranchised, to say that there shall be two kinds of Government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—the they are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never know peace and quiet as long as there is a government that manages their heads will be the responsibility 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.

Jewish Girl Outraged and Crucified By Russians. Berlin—One of the most revolting crimes in the dark history of Russia was reported here in a public dispatch from St. Petersburg, telling of three Russian youths having outraged and then crucified the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavapol, on the Volga. After outraging the young girl, the dispatch declares, the three youths dragged her to a cemetery, where they nalled her to a cross above one of the graves. Nails were driven through her eyes and even through her eyes. The three murders are arrested, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted. WHEN IS MIXED BLOOD INDIAN? 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 1906, 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 admixture 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 APPEAL2 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 yellings 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. 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 humilate 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 oblified 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 examiners and women and the government which they have so faithfully and efficiently served has no right to place upon them this badge of dishonor. It is not a question of social equality that chimera which so many Caucasians claim战 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 tiers; the Federal Government must be held responsible for this new attempt to establish that impossible thing, caste in a Republic. dent and we believe that he will care fully 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. IN CHRISTIAN U. S. Afro-American Woman Lynched by Americans. Muskogee, Okla—Lemuel Peace, a Caucasian, went into the colored section of the city Sunday night and mistreated Marie Scott, an Afro-American woman. To defend herself, she killed him. She was arrested and put into the Wagner county jail for safe keeping. Tuesday she was taken out of the jail by a masked mob and handed to a telephone pole. The mob got into the jail by strategy. The mob pulled the screaming woman from her cell, tied a rope about her neck and dragged her some distance through the streets before reaching the telephone pole. Honest fair minded Americans feel that the fair fame of our country is being trailed in the dust; taeyang 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. 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 capiAfrican blood have been described as talized. Americans of more or less "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. 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 foot 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 the judge make a pardon from such severe punishment. Telephone messages informed him that pettitions 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 women shows the difference between the California and the South. If the "highway robbery" had occurred in Vardaman's state there would have been a lynching.

And, now that it is all over, we will all go to work and endeavor to make the new form of government a success for the city. It is a source of some satisfaction to state that everyone of the winners, of the general offices used THE APPEAL, will be able to public THE APPEAL if not egotistic enough to claim that it elected any one of them but it does believe that it did its share. Dr. H. I. Williams, the dentist, 27 E. Seventh street, who has been unable for some time to comfortably accommodate his patients, is now prepared to do so. He has secured the adjoining room, removed the partitions and now has two large operating rooms and a much larger reception room. He has also changed the main entrance of his suite to No. 203, just in front of the elevator. He is now, better than ever, able to take care of his daily increasing clientele.

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 to recognize hog cholera as soon as possible after its appearance in a herd 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 sck." PURE FOOD BOARD IS DEAD Secretary Houston Abolishes Body 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, former chief chemist, has been abolished by Secretary Houston. 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, declaring its operations hampered administration of the spirit of the pure food law. Under the new plan the enforcement 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 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 McAdoo plates will be made 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 reserve 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 would have the five dollar note bear the portrait of Lincoln, the ten 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 $53 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.

DANGER FROM ALCOHOL. In pneumonia or in snake bite, when recovery takes place, an invasion of the parts affected by a large number of leucocytes or white blood corpuscles is invariably observed. Delcairde insists that this invasion is essential to recovery. Massert and Bordel demonstrated that alcohol, even in very dilute solution, drives away the white corpuscles or leucocytes, and if alcohol is circulated in the blood, even in very minute quantities, the leucocytes cannot push their way into the blood at all readily, and therefore cannot be transported to the seat of the disease. Alcohol thus prevents the white cells or leucocytes from coming up to attack and repel the invading organisms. . . . The leucocytes act as a kind of sanitary police. They appear wherever dead matter is to be removed, they attempt to prevent the invasion of the body by disease producing organisms, and once they come to grips with their opponents they die rather than give way. Disease producing organisms getting into the tissues during the time that alcohol is holding back the leucocytes, and meeting with no resistance from them, entrench themselves strongly, so that the leucocytes cannot drive them out, and a severe, often fatal, attack of disease is the result.—Dr. Sims Woodhead, Cambridge University, England. WATER-WAGON VS. PATROL A short time ago the 88 saloons in the city of Des Moines, Iowa, were temporarily closed on a technicality by order of the state supreme court. The figures of the police department for the first seven days thereafter were, stated a press dispatch from the saloonless city, "convincing in their proof that you can't run a successful and prosperous patrol wagon and lock up business in a dry town." Comparison of these seven days with the last seven days with saloons showed: Total arrests with saloons.....155 Total arrests without saloons.....94 UNDER BAN OF STATE LAW. (B) REV. JESSE HILL, Portland, Me. Every drop of liquor that is distilled or brewed is held by the great careful central government to be contraband and confiscated property, for a time. Not one barrel of it can be taken from its place of manufacture till the national stamp "U. S." (that always means us) is placed upon it. We may not be able to stop the complicity of the federal government with the traffic, but there is one thing we can do. We can answer the question for ourselves: Is the moral character of the state or city a thing worth contending for? Shall we treat it as a commodity which we can sell in our streets and alleys for three or five hundred dollars a year? If you hunt for it, you can sometimes find liquor in the prohibition territory, but that is quite a different proposition from giving the business an opportunity to hunt for you. Put the thing under the ban of the law and you have stigmatized it. . . Let the saloon wear its own badge of shame. License is a compromise. It is wrong in principle and wicked in practice. For the state to go into partnership with the manufacturers of criminals is for the state to commit suicide. PROBLEM NOW A COLLEGE STUDY It is stated that less than two per percent, of the men of America go through college, 'yet from this two per cent, the nation draws 7,700 of its 10,000 leaders in all walks of life. "The destroyer," Captain Hobson points out, "has had a strong hold upon our colleges, particularly upon the large universities, and its grip must be broken at any cost." That this grip is being broken is evidenced by the fact that 2,500 students in 100 colleges and universities have already studied the liquor problem in classes during the first half of the present school year, and the total number of such students will probably reach 5,000 during the year. Of these colleges, between 30 and 40 have given the course curricu- lum standing, with credit toward a degree, and many of the others are considering the same step for next year. TEST QUESTIONS Will wives testify that since saloons came to town and husbands began to patronize them that poor and miserable homes are now changed into places of light and happiness? Will the mother tell you that since there is a saloon in the neighborhood and her boy spends his evenings there, he has changed from an idle and disobedient son into a kind, noble and Christian man? Will the saloon stand this test?—Nebraska Issue. MRS. MILLIE ALEXANDER The Hair Manufacturer and Hair Dresser in St. Paul.
