FOLLOWERS LOYAL TO PANCHO VILLA REBEL ARMY WELL DRILLED Leader is Uneducated, but Not Ignorant—Was Once an Outlaw With Price on His Head, but No One Ever Claimed the Reward—Learned to Read and Write While In Jail. Holloway, N. M.-General Francisco Villa, easily the most prominent figure of the Mexican revolution, on its fighting side at least, has naturally been a subject for more writers than any other man. Much that has been written is true, but on the other hand much misinformation has been distributed in the United States. Christened Francisco by his parents but more often called "Pancho" by his friends, Villa early in life allowed his Latin-Indian instincts to overcome his discretion, and he killed a Mexican officer who had induced his sister to elope. He was outwounded and shortly was conceived the most desperate outlaw with which authorities had to deal. The federal and state governments finally put a price of 20,000 pesos his head because he was making open war upon the men running the state government. The rurales were put in the field to capture him and during a number of years fought him more than forty times, wounding Villa nine times and suffering a loss of thirty-nine killed. This result discouraged head hunting in official circles to such an extent that Villa operated for some time indulged. As conquered, it was employed in his operations as a "revolutionist." He drove off the herds and took liberally of the stores of the rich supposed to be friendly with the state ad- © 1914, by American Press Association. GENERAL VILLA'S LATEST PICTURE. MADE FOLLOWING BATTLE AT SALTILLO. ministration. He is known to have distributed his plunder to the poor of his district. Villa is uneducated, but not ignorant, unless the record he has made is all a dream. When Madero camped his rebel army before Jurez he was immediately joined by Villa, who had hastily gathered more than 500 men and marched them overland. His military ability was in evidence even then, as on his march he had made it a point to acquire a number of 30-40 rifles, and he had the only squad in the entire army capable of fighting his enemies on equal terms with the Mauser rifles. Villa grew Madero some trouble because his desire to go right into Jurez and fight it out, and he finally did that very thing against the wishes of his more tiniid chief. When Madero saved the life of General Navarro from Villa and Orozeo by a shrewd trick the latter became deeply offended, but Villa looked upon the move as legitimate and liked Madero all the more for it. Madero pardoned Villa for all past offenses and put him in his army when he assumed the presidency. Huerta was Villa's commander, and that officer ordered Villa shot for some alleged offense. Madero ordered Villa to the penitentiary near Mexico City and gave the opportunity of escaping. While confined Villa learned to read and write a little. Here are some of his achievements as his friends look at them: He has drilled his army and provided it for through his own efforts until it is admitted that he has the best drilled and equipped force in Mexico. He has captured more than one-half of the captured men and has formed an efficient artillery division. He buys hays and grain and ships it to his cavalry and keeps that arm of service as more efficient condition than do the federalists. He has the best hospital corps in Mexico and gives better care to his wounded than does the regular army. He works carrying army department which has helped to keep his troops well supplied and furnished them with the necessary ammunition even when it had to be smuggled across from Mexico. He has established order in every town captured, always closing the saloons and keeping them closed as long as his army occupies the place. He does not use the saloons and keeps the trouble commands have with their men. --- Get Pay For Toil and Michigan Cities Buy the Produce. Ishpeming. Mich.-The cities of upper Michigan have devised a new way for school children to earn money in the summer vacation months by establishing school farms which pay pupil workers for their time and sell the produce to people of the cities interested practically at cost. Ishpeming began the experiment. It was so successful that the idea is spreading over the upper peninsula. The Michigan State Agricultural college this year will have experts to systematize the work. Farms have been conducted under the management of the Ishpeming board of education for three years, and this year they will be operated on a larger scale than heretofore. M. A. Russell, from the Michigan Agricultural college, has been placed in charge. The board of education owns eighteen acres of tillable land in three tructs, and most of this will be cultivated. Students do the work. One hundred and twenty-five boys have agreed to perform the necessary labor. Their pay is 10 cents an hour. The school board markets the produce and retains the proceeds. The chief crops this year will be potatoes, cabbages and cauliflower. One acre will be devoted to strawberries. BABY CUT OFF 200 PHONES Papa the Real Silencer, However, With Aid of a Shotgun. Atlantic City, N. J. — The birth of a baby in the home of Matteo Gionetti of Merlonville cut off all telephone service in that section for the greater part of a day, to the rage of 200 subscribers. The boy arrived at the Gionetti home shortly and there was nobody around to help Matteo celebrate, so he grabbed his shotgun and proceeded to blow holes in the atmosphere. Newton, the phone company's wire clipped, discovered the lines were useless what a chance to work next morning. At Gionetti's place he broke the broken wires hanging loose from the pole, with about a shot of shot in the cross arm. Gionetti told all about it. Newton started to swear, changed his mind, grinned, said, "Hope the kid's all right," and started repairs. Tomato Clubs Bring Good Incomes to the Members. Washington.-Guided by a southern school teacher, Uncle Sam is turning his attention to keeping some of his country nieces happy on the farm instead of letting them join the workers in the cities. In five southern states, under the direction of the department of agriculture, schoolgirls are learning how to turn tomatoes and snap beans into money. Ms. Mary Cromer of Alken, S. C., begins her girls' living clubs with forty-six of her own pupils. She heard of the boys' corn clubs and saw no reason why the girls should not make a little money too. So one spring she encouraged forty-six girls to plant little tomato patches. All summer she worked with them, showing them how to hoe and cultivate. Along toward harvest time the neighboring station of the farm demonstration service heard about what she was doing and sent a canning expert to Alken to show the girls what to do with their product. One girl got 512 cans from her product, which gave her a profit at the rate of $400 an acre. Even Mama Cromer, the boy who won the corn prize, was given 512 cans an acre. Miss Cromer was given a plan in the department of agriculture and has organized tomato clubs in five states. The clubs are formed very early in the spring before planting time, and the demonstrator who travels about tells the girls how to have their land prepared. The farms are only one-tenth of an acre now, that being supposed to be all that one girl can well take care of. Usually the fathers do the plowing, but they are paid for their time and the fertilizer they use, just outside would be. For the cultivating the girls allow themselves 10 cents an hour. They learn to enjoy the work. The girls are taught to put up wild and garden berries in glass. In the fall, when the harvest is all in tin or glass, the demonstrator visits each home, weighs each can and marks its weight upon the outside. The little gardener adds her name and address, and the can is sent straight to somebody's table at 10 cents for the tin cans of vegetables and 12 for glass jars of preserves. If the purchaser is dissatisfied she notifies the department, and the girl is directed to send another can. If there are continued complaints of her products it is assumed that she is not following directions, and she is dropped from the clubs. **Tescups of Salt For Wages.** London,—Major Hans Schomburgk, the worker, who has just returned to work.

Inventors of "Perpetual Motion" Will Be Saved, Patent Ideas. Washington—Owing to the growth in numbers of inventive "geniuses" who declare that they have solved the perpetual motion problem the officials of the patent office have had to take steps to protect them. Any one can make an application for a patent, paying a fee of $15. An examiner investigates the claim and, if there is merit to it, calls for a model. If there is no merit the patent is then rejected and the $15 goes into Uncle Sam's treasure chest. Nearly every one of these perpetual motion inventors is in financial straits. The loss of $15, according to the officials, is a severe blow to them financially. Hereafter the patent office will not permit any one to file a patent for a perpetual motion machine unless the application is accompanied by a model of the machine, the model being one that will perform. A circular to that effect is being sent out. We would keep two stenographers busy presumably all of the time writing to would be the motion of perpetual motion machines," said Chuck Woolard recently. "The circular saves time and saves money for the government, meanwhile saving money for the poor fellows who believe they have solved this problem." There is at least one visitor a day to the patent office who has a perpetual motion machine. VACCINATE OR GET NO CASH. Minnesota Indians Must Be Examined Before Government Pays Them. Bemidji, Minn. — The ninth installment of a fifteen installment treaty, made by the United States government with the Red Lake Indians, is now being paid at the reservation, and 1,479 Indians will participate. The per capita payment is $61.75, which is a slight increase over last year. The total amount to be paid at this payment is approximately $10,107, two-thirds of which has already been paid. Prior to securing his payment each and every Indian must submit to an examination by the agency physician, who keeps a card indian, if he finds any one who ought to be vaccinated he completes this work before payment is made to him. MEAL OF 1,000 HEAT UNITS FOR 10 CENTS Reducing Cost of Living by Scientific Measures. New York.—A scientific restaurant where one may obtain enough nutrition for 10 cents is to be opened here. It has been scientifically demonstrated that enough properly balanced food to keep an average man in good condition is not expensive. The food which it is proposed to serve at this restaurant for 10 cents contains all the (but units) for an average person in light work. Professor Graham Lusk of the department of physiology at Cornell medical college has arranged the menu, based on the assumption that persons engaged in different kinds of lab. require different amounts of calories. A man who lies abed twenty-four hours requires only 1,680 calories a day; a rider in a six day bicycle race requires 10,000 calories. A man abed eight hours and in a chair fourteen hours moderate exercise for two hours requires 2,500 calories. The average farmer needs 3,500 calories. The meat which will be served at this scientific restaurant will give exactly 1,000 heat units, enough for a luncheon for a man doing light work. Professor Lusk has arranged this menu, giving 1,000 heat units for 10 cents: 75 ounces of beans. 1 ounce of pork. 21-3 ounces of butter. 5 ounces of milk and 5 ounces of coffee. Three such meals mean 3,000 heat units, and if one eats a heavier meal in the evening with this scientific luncheon of beans and pork he will obtain enough calories for anything less than hard physical labor. LIVES MONTH IN BEER CAR Cat Had No Food, and His Ribs Showed, but He Recover. Vancouver. B. C.-Out of a box of beer that arrived here yesterday there walked the shadow of a once robust tomcat. Pussy's ribs were showing, and he was so weak he could hardly move toward a bowl of milk that kind hearted customs officers at the Canadian Pacific wharf quickly provided for him. The car was sealed in Milwaukee thirty days ago, and the big cat had no grub since. He will recover. Mountain Lion Killing Elk Fort Collins, Cole.—A mountain lion is reported to be slaughtering the elk shipped into Estes park by the government a short time ago. Four or five elk were killed there recently and carried away bodily. The fact that there are no tracers of dragging leads in an enormous lion is doing much of the killing. Forest rangers in the park are searching for the beast. --- "BAD TEETH MAKE BOYS BAD"-HILLES Quotes Figures on the Decayed Roots of Evil. TOOTHBRUSH AS A REMEDY TOOTHBRUSH AS A REMEDY. President of New York Juvenile Association Asserte That the Dentist is the Greatest Influence For Good in the Land—Sick Boys Are Bad, and Bad Teeth Make Boys Sick. New York—Charles D. Hiles, chairman of the Republican national committee and president of the New York Juvenile association, says he believes that much of the so called badness in boys is due primarily to decayed teeth and the consequent inability to masticate properly their food. He bases his conclusions on observations of boys sent as delinquents to the Children's Village at Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., where an average of 550 youngsters are getting a chance to become good citizens. Mr. Hiles declares that 91 per cent of the boys received suffer from bad teeth, after two years of care with a dentist, and with practice in the gentle art of using a toothbrush, the boys are turned out 90 per cent good instead of 90 per cent bad. Therefore Mr. Hiles, who has long devoted himself to the reformation of children who haven't had half a show in life, says he is convinced that the dentist is after all, the real kind of doctor that Photo by American Press Association. CHARLES D. HILLES. the great majority of "delinquent" boys need in the straightening out of tummy tangles and other physical disorders that have a tendency to start them on the wrong moral slant. "Acting upon the premise that the bad boy is generally a sick boy," Mr. Hilles said, "we determined some time ago to maintain a thorough physical study of the youngsters sent to us. We found our boys to be sick. Sixty-five per cent of them were smemic—the result of poor food and irregular habits of living. To this half started condition could be attributed the waywardness and viciousness of the boys. "We found that more than 90 percent of the boys—and remember they are all under fifteen years of age— came to us with bad牙齿. For years these boys have been unable to chew their food properly. They have acquired the habit of bolting everything they put into their mouths. The natural consequence has been multiplication of stomach and intestinal disorders. The boys were dragged down in a physical manner and really through no own became physical degrades and no own became opaque." Mr. Hills said the first investigation dealt with 634 boys of whom fifty two, a little more than 9 per cent, were free from some kind of physical abnormality. The examinations proved that most of the troubles from which the boys suffered came from the teeth. "Immediately upon admission to the Children's Village," he continued, "the boy is sent to the dentist, who makes a searching examination of his teeth. All possible repairs are made, hopelessly decayed teeth are extracted, those less seriously diseased are filled and crowded. Finally there is a thorough cleaning of the teeth. The boy is sent to his room with a toothbrush and with paste. He experiences so much relief because it so quickly that always the boy is given to give to his teeth the necessary attention." "Regularly every six months each boy in the village visits the dentist. Never again as long as he is with us is he permitted to suffer because his teeth lack attention. "By the time the boy has completed his two years in the Children's Village—that is the average length of his stay—he has approached the average for his years in size and in weight. Every boy the village sends a squad of boys to the surroundings and forgetting the stigma of the past they begin a useful life in the open country. Remembering that about 91 per cent of the boys are subnormal when they come to us, that they are moral delinquents, physical degenerates and mental defectives, it is a thorough demonstration, I believe. We say that the dentist is the greatest good known to us, that more than 90 per cent of our boys make good and are successful after they leave us." POET PLANS ST. LOUIS FETE. Percy Mackaye to Have Airship as Part of Big Civic Spectacle. Part of big Civic Spectacle. New York. — Percy Mackaye, poet and playwright, has been in consultation here with aviation experts as to the selection of an aeroplane and pilot to take part in the great civic spectacle, part of which he is preparing for St. Louis in connection with the celebration this summer of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the settlement of white men on the site of that city. Mr. Mackaye's part in the celebration is the staging of his work. "The Masque of St. Louis." The spirit of the mound builders, who is made happy by the appearance of a child of a new race restoring civilization; spirits representing the Mississippi river and the European, pioneers led by the youthful St. Louis and earth spirits led by Gold, who is conquered by Love and Imagination, are characters to be seen in the spectacle. The aeroplane is to represent a giant eagle, the emblem of Union, which files across the scene at the close of the spectacle. It is likely that a biblane will be chosen for this purpose. FLIES CAUSED EPIDEMIC. London Government Board Objects to Offending Dust Heap. London.—An outbreak of enteritis occurred last summer among the children in the Southwark infirmary, and nine died. The epidemic was definitely traced to the presence near the infirmary of the Camberwell borough council dump for dust and rubbish, which are taken to a railway sliding at East Dulwich railway station, close to the infirmary. The local government board has again called upon the Camberwell borough council to make other arrangements for the removal of its dust and rubbish. Dr. Drue, the medical superintendent, declared that the cause of the outbreak was to be found in the dust sliding. During hot weather, he said, the institution swarmed with flies, and the children's wards were unbearable. Dr. Drue, a local government board inspector, supplied Dr. Bruce, but the borough council for the time declined to take action and merely acknowledged the board's letter. UNWORKED INDIAN MOUNDS ARE FOUND Six Groups With No Previous Record Located In Wisconsin. Madison, Wis.—Rich Indian finds have been made record in three counties of northern Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Archaeological society is publishing an account of the explorations conducted by two of its members, J. P. Schumacher of Green Bay and W. A. Titus of Fond du Lac, in Portage, Marathon and Lincoln counties recently. A study was made by these men, both of whom are experienced investigators, of the aboriginal remains still existing about Wausau, Merrill, Tomahawk, Hawett and other places along the Wisconsin river. Near Bradley and Hewford surveys were made of six distinct groups of Indian earthworks of which there had been no previous state record. The largest of these consisted of thirty three conical and oval mounds. An emblematic mound in one of the groups is the only one of its class as yet located in northern Wisconsin. It is more than sixty miles north of the northernmost limit of the effigy mound territory. At this place there also exists a fine plot of old Indian garden. In Portage county the work of the investigators was chiefly confined to the regions about Lakes Emily and Onneland, near each of which important discoveries were made. GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE Husband Set Ablaze When Lamp Hurled at Him, Exlodes. Atlantic City, N. J. — "This makes good evidence upon which I can get a divorce," was the reply of John Hamilton to the police, when they demanded that he sign a complaint against his wife and met with a flat refusal. The wife, it is alleged, in a rage hurt a lighted lamp at his head, which struck the wall, exploded, fired his clothing and set the furniture and carpets in his home afame. Firemen found him unconscious on the floor after they had used chemical fluid to conquer the blaze. He was sent to the hospital, where his burns were dressed. His injuries are not serious. GROCERS ALSO POLICEMEN. Three Hundred Kansas City Trade- men Now Prepared for Sox Swings men Now Prepared For Swindlers. Kansas City - Hereafter if the Kansas City, Kan., housewife needs a policeman in a hurry and cannot find one she may call on the corner grocery to protect the family plate. This was made possible when special police commissions were given to 300 grocers. The grocers want the commissions mainly to arrest check forgers, money order raisers, short change men and others who victimize them, but they will also serve as neighborhood protectors. SPRINGS 220 DEGREES HOT. Will Cook Eggs In Three Minutes and Beans. While You Wait. Portland, Ore.—Springs hot enough to cook beans and boll eggs in three minutes have been found within short distance of Portland. They are on the Clackamas river, thirty miles south of Estacada and seventy miles from this city. These springs are fifty in number, and one throws out a stream seven inches in diameter. The springs have been known to the Indians for many years. A French half breed named Michel Arquette, a trapper, hearing an Indian of the Molalla tribe speak of hot springs this side of the range, made an investigation and found them. The springs are supposed to be the bottest in the world. 200 degrees. Beans have been cooked in an larger spring with the same dispasit as on a stove. Eggs encased in a mesh of any kind have been cooked in three minutes. Even fish have been caught in the Clackamas river and without being taken off the line have been dropped into the spring and in a very brief time cooked to a turn. The waters come from solid rock and are strongly impregnated with salts, but not of sufficient strength to make the taste objectionable. Many stories are told by the Indians with the wonderful properties of these springs, and they have been known to creep from the reservation on the other side to bathe in the water of the "big hole," as they call it. A SUCCESSFUL HUNTER. In Six Months Has Killed Panthers, Wildcats and Five Bears. Port Oxford, Ore., Within six months E. L. White of this place has proved himself a successful hunter of predatory animals, and his dogs have treed and he has killed five bears, five panthers and a goodly number of wildcats. He recently spent several days up on Sixes river and killed a female panther that had destroyed many sheep and deer in that locality. She had often run with dogs and had learned to elude them by springing from tree to tree and from stump to log, then dodging and running in a different direction. Before the big cat was killed several photographs were taken as it was snarling and showing its teeth at the hunters. TEXAS WOMAN BANKER INSPIRES CONFIDENCE Consulted on Business and Heads Woman's Association. Austin, Tex.-Miss Leffler Corbitt, who was elected president of the Texas Woman Bankers' association at the recent convention of that organization at Fort Worth, is one of the ablest as well as the most popular business woman in the state. Miss Corbitt is connected with the Austin National bank, holding the position of note teller. After leaving the University of Texas Miss Corbitt taught school for awhile. She then turned to banking as a more congenial and profitable occupation, entering the employ of the Austin National general security clerk. Through her business abilities and close study of banking methods, she rapidly worked her way up until she now holds one of the most responsible bank positions of any woman in the state. In addition to her official duties, Miss Corbitt acts as the adviser and business representative of a number of wealthy women of this city, who place more confidence in her opinions on business matters than in the average business man. Owing to the press of business Miss Corbitt was unable to attend the convention at Fort Worth. She was so well known among the women bankers of Texas, however, that she was elected president of the association by the bank. She is planning to widely extend the influence of the Texas Woman Bankers' association while at its head. Theributions of the Texas association is the organization of a national body, which include all the women bankers in the United States. POLICE TO LEARN MANNERS Pittsburgh Purposes Having Force of Chesterfields. Pittsburgh.-Schools in politeness for city policemen will be established by Charles S. Hubbard, director of public safety. Members of the force will be instructed in the rudiments of etiquette and drilled in modern methods. Mr. Hubbard says he intends to have the most courteous police department in the United States. Complaints from citizens of the impolite actions of men in his department caused the director to make the move. Black Cat Averts Wreck. Fond du Lac, Wis.—A black cat probably saved many lives on a St. Paul road passenger train near Mayville. As the train was leaving the city Engineer Henry Heider saw a black cat crossing the tracks in front of the locomotive. Being superstitious, Heider slowed down. A minute later, while the train was moving slowly, the locomotive was deterred. Had the train been traveling fast a serious wreck would have occurred. $2.40 PER YEAR: FRANCIS JOSEPH MAKES HARD FIGHT Aged Ruler of Austria-Hungary In Precarious Condition. NATION DRAYS FOR RECOVERY NATION PRAYS FOR RECOVERY He Refuses to Leave Vienna and Scorns Advice of Physicians to Go Temporarily to Another Climate. Thinks Departure Would Be Equal to Abdication. Vienna.--Emperor Francis Joseph is making slow progress toward recovery. For the last several months he has not breathed fresh air, except a few mouthfuls at a time, and these but rarely—he who has always been passionately fond of roughing it, of stalking the chamois up steep rocks or surprising the Austrian grouse and woodcock at early dawn in the deep forest glen. And he has shown rare patience through it all. Inured to exposure and hardship, and endowed by nature with a splendid physique, which his simple habits have never abused, the aged monarch, after catching cold in March, at first rather neglected the warnings of his faithful old physician, Dr. Kerzel. If he lives he will be eighty-four in August, but he still has the strength and vitality of many a younger man. Last summer at Ischl, in a cloose, with bare hares, he several times was soaked to the skin while hunting, without suffering from it. It was very hard to make him understand that at his age a case of combined catarrh and bronchitis may easily terminate fatally unless every precaution is taken. The Austro-Hungarians are very fond of their after herr (old gentleman), as the affectionately speak of him, and the times especially dolize him. That could be the whole period of his illness. On days EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH. when it was reported that he was in particular danger large crowds thronged the immense open square in front of the castle. Reverently, patiently, longingly, they stood for hours and hours in the patterning rain and keen blasts that sweep down from the nearby mountains, whispering to each other and exchanging words of hope or apprehension. When the weather improved for the moment their beloved ruler would now and then appear at a certain window. Then there would be cheering and throwing of hats in the air, and "God bless and keep you" would be murmured all around. After that thousands in the multitude would disperse and contentedly walk away, many of them to homes far away. Others, the middle-aged midnight-watching, inquiring, fearing. Since the emperor's illness began gay Vienna has been in half mourning and the whole monarchy is waiting with bated breath for news of him. In the brilliantly lighted coffee houses down town the conversation is of him. All public and representative bodies, from the two "delegations" now in session in Budapest down to the provincial administrative chambers, the municipal councils and commercial syndicates and boards of stockholders, have adopted resolutions of sympathy and wishes for the emperor's speedy recovery. Francis Joseph has never made friends with some of the modern inventors as the long distance telephone, and that is to leave Schoenbrunn and Vienna in indefinite period, especially when both internal and foreign politics demand his full attention, would be tantamount to giving up the throne. So far as the emperor's general health is concerned, one of his chamberlains said that it is all that could be desired. He eats his simple meals with a relish and sleeps from 8 to 4, except for a brief spell of coughing now and he has given up. It is true, smoking his long, thin Virginia cigars, but indulges every day in a car or a walk when the weather permits him. In some places, where a window faces the sun is then kept open for an hour or so. At other times he is in his study, where he strides up and down its bare floor. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

Nearly thirty years have passed since the editor of THE APPEAL left his native state, Kentucky, and came to Minnesota. Some years prior to that he saw the changing conditions and became convinced that there was no chance for Afro-American in the South—that is to be more than a halfman. He felt that there were many things more precious than gold. He intended to marry and rear a family and he did not care to subject his children, if any came, to the hellish conditions which were general in that section. He felt that they had a right to be born in a state where there was no law to degrade them—where they would have a fair field and then if they failed it would be their own fault. In 1885 he packed up his belongings and came to the great state of Minnesota and he has never regretted the step. His way has not been easy, but he has reared a family, giving his children every advantage he could afford to give them and if they do not make good he can not be held responsible. It has been a great benefit to reside in a state which does not generally discriminate between its citizens. There is room in the great state of Minnesota for others who wish to escape the degradation of the South. Well intentioned, intelligent, clean, respectable Afro-Americans will be welcomed here and those who have a little capital have a good chance to succeed. Southern Afro-Americans who are thinking of coming this way should divest themselves of all jimcrow ideas before starting. Those who come as men and demand respect as men will be treated as men. "BE MEN, NOT MOLLYCODDLES." Marking the successful culmination of a course of hard study, the annual commencement of the National Law School was held in Washington. Senator James E. Martine delivered the address to the graduates and among other things he said: PROTEST AGAINST WRONG To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. 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. "Be men, not mollycoddles," he told them, "for if there is any class of men the world despises it is the class known as mollycoddles." And a mollycoddle is that breed of humanity which has the distinction of being indefinable. It is too bad that Senator Martine's advice was not given to a class containing Afro-American youth for it is badly needed. In the majority of the addresses delivered at Afro-American school commencements the speakers practically advise the graduates to become mollycoddles and give up all of their rights as men. They are told to be good and the white man will hand them everything on a silver platter. A lot of such disgusting dope is passed out to Afro-American graduates every year. There are entirely too many Afro- American mollycoddles on earth right now and it will be well for the race if no more are turned out by the schools. SEGREGATING REPUBLICANS The Central Afro-American of Saint Louis in a timely editorial protests against the action of certain branches of the Republican party in Saint Louis in putting the Afro-American voters off to themselves and shutting them out of the party councils in the formation of campaign plans. The Afro-American says: "Especially is it true of some wards in this city, where the Afro-American voters are directed to hold separate meetings, where the only work they can accomplish is to carry out the instructions given them by the advocates of this segregation idea. It is an idea entirely foreign to true Republican principles, having no place upon the roll of honor with the names of Lincoln, Sumner, Grant, Douglas and others, but very properly belongs in the category of ideas advocated by Vardaman, Tillman, Blease and their ilk. No separate meetings are necessary for the German, Irish, Jew, Italian or any English-speaking race of Republicans, then why in the name of all that is honest and fair are such meetings necessary for Afro-American Republicans. Afro-American do not demand more than their share of recognition in appointments, based upon their numerical strength, and they will never be satisfied with less. All voters in the Republican Party should have the right to express their preferences for men who desire their support at the polls, and this can only be done by Afro-American representatives being admitted to the party councils where the selections of the party organization are discussed. This is the only method we know of whereby the party organizations can in all truth act for a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people." Let us have ONE PARTY COUNCIL participated in by representatives of ALL NATIONALITIES, then we shall have TRUE HARMONY, and a singleness of purpose that will sweep aside all opposition." To all of which THE APPEAL says Amen. PLAYING WITH FIRE The Afro-Americans in Atlantic City who are bending every energy to get a jimcrow principal for their jimcrow school ought to be in better business. They are making a great mistake. Instead of extending jimcrowism they ought to fight it and have the jimcrow school abolished as it is contrary to the laws of the state of New Jersey. Segregation NEVER plays. Perhaps the children of the men who are agitating this matter will curse them in the days to come and they will be justified in doing so. Any man who at any time justifies and fights for the segregation of his people from other American citizens is not only an enemy of his race but he is also an enemy of the Republic. Caste begets caste. If the Afro-American people are segregated why not the RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself evil thing in this present justice; none at all. I am the worst single thing and holds together more abomination than any other world. Through its book of coarse lust, suspicion and all the darkest soul. —H. G. W. 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 Jews next? Then perhaps some numerically weak class of citizens of foreign birth. Then perhaps the rich and the poor will be separated in the schools. Who knows? The jimcrow agitators of Atlantic City are playing with fire. THE REASON WHY Segregation has come to Louisville because the Afro-Americans in that city have not been aggressive in their fight against injustice. Some years ago a proposal was made for a jimcrow library and it was accepted without protest. Residential segregation came as a natural sequence. The idea of the Caucasian fiends of the South is that persons with an admixture of African blood must be kept in a separate social status subject to their whims and caprices. The Afro-Americans who accept public segregation in any form, WITHOUT PROTEST are doing themselves a great wrong and hanging a millstone about their children's necks. EVERY KIND OF JIMCROWISM SHOULD BE FOUGHT A FINISH IS CASTE BREAKING UP? Sir George Macalpine says that caste in India is breaking up and that Christianity is doing the work. He gives caste ten years to die and says that when it is dead there will be a great influx from India into the Christian church. The Hindu who gives up his religion and even his caste to get into the Christian church is a fool—he's jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. The Christian church is really the greatest promoter of caste in the world and if great numbers of Hindus break into the Christian church they will promptly be organized into segregated churches in violation of the alleged basic principle of Christianity. Afro-Americans all over the country ought to continue to protest to President Wilson against the infamous segregation of Afro-Americans in the public service. THE APPEAL suggests that Editor Trotter of the Boston Guardian get up another protest against segregation on the civil service. We are willing to make a small contribution to aid in the matter. "Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow." Editor H. C. Smith of the Cleveland, Ohio Gazette, announces himself as a candidate for the Legislature. He was formerly a member of the Ohio Legislature and did good service for humanity in securing the passage of a civil rights bill and an anti-lynching law. Mr. Smith has been a fearless advocate for the rights of his people, through his newspaper and THE APPEAL trusts that he will secure the nomination and be elected by a large majority. Last December THE APPEAL sent a prominent Louisville man a small contribution to aid the fight against segregation. Although two letters have been sent asking about the matter the man in question has not deigned to reply. That is not the right way to secure further aid for the cause. On the person of a man who looked like a prize hobo and who was living at a 10-cent lodging house in New York, police found $53,000 in bills and bank notes. We suppose the poor fellow was afraid the high cost of living would break him if he lived according to his means. Yes. Damphools. Over at Atlanta City the Negroes having secured a James Crow school are raring and snorting because the Board of Education exhibits some inclination to give them a James Crow principal.

REALLY A BROADSIDE. Tests on New Ship Shook Teeth In Mouths of Her Crew. Boston.—With rubber pads between teeth and cotton stuffed into their ears to ease the jar, the crew of the new Argentine Dreadnought Rivadavia stood on tiptee while twelve twelve-inch guns and six six-inch ones were fired in one broadside from the port side of the giant fighter. Just to show that she could do it and still float—that was the condition of her acceptance by the Argentine government. The Rivadavia survived the test and the builders said that every requirement was fulfilled. The Dreadnought was somewhat shaken and some glass was broken, in spite of special copper shutters, but the structure stood firm and another test salvo was fired for good measure. The Rivadavia is called the heaviest ordnance warship afloat. She will carry 1,300 men and cost $11,000,000. SAY HE ATE THE CHECK Accused Man Is Nevertheless Bound Over to Grand Jury. Portland, Ore.—Although he ate the documentary evidence against him while on the witness stand in full view of court attaches and spectators, according to officials, Samuel Matheson, a Seattle contractor, was bound over to the grand jury by Municipal Judge Stevenson on a charge of passing a bad check for $25. Matheson, while testifying in his own behalf, asked to be allowed to examine the check, retaining it while being questioned. He was noticed holding his handkerchief to his mouth, and court attaches said his jaws were busily working. Later, when the prosecution called for the check, the prisoner declared he did not have it. A search failed to reveal the slip. PAST IS FORGOTTEN BY EXILED QUEEN Natalie of Servia Presents Country With Mementos. Berlin.-Ex-Queen Natalie of Servia has decided to forgive and forget her tragic history in the country where her unhappy married life was passed and where her son. King Alexander, and his spouse were assassinated. She has turned over 27,000 acres to the Belgrade university, a valuable collection of arms made by King Milan and King P NATALIE, EX-QUEEN OF SERVIA. Alexander to the National museum and the libraries of her husband and her son to the Academy of Science at the Servian capital. Natalie became the wife of King Milan of Servia in 1875 at the age of sixteen. Her son, the ill fated Alexander, was born a year later, but by that time she and her husband were scarcely on speaking terms owing to his dissolute life. They separated in 1886 and Natalie went to Wiesbaden with her son. Two years later Milan succeeded in getting possession of Alexander and induced the metropolitan to grant him a divorce. This divorce was later declared illegal. Milan abdicated in 1889 in favor of Prince Alexander. Queen Natalie, who thereupon returned to Servia, was forced to go into exile in 1891, but in 1894 both she and her husband returned in triumph to Belgrade and they were apparently reconciled. Their triumph, however, was short lived. The hand of Russia was seen in Servian politics under the sway of Alexander, who drove his father into exile, and Queen Natalie again left the country, never to return. The tragic death of Alexander and Queen Draga followed in 1902 and Peter Karageorgevitch was called to the throne, the Orenbivet dynasty being extinct. Milan had died in Vienna in 1901. Child's Prayer Answered Saginaw, Mich.—"Dear Lord, tell mamma we are in the trunk, and tell her to come quick." Mary Hart, eight years old, made this prayer when she and her brother, Leon, aged six years, found themselves trapped in a trunk into which they had climbed. Their mother, Mrs. Michael Hart, felt impelled to look in the trunk in an unused upstairs bedroom. Both children were unconscious, but were revived. FILIPINOS USE LESS OPIUM. Habit Checked, Consumption Reduced, Says Government Report. Washington.—Consumption of opium among the Filipinos has been completely checked, if not entirely eradicated, says a report to Brigadier General McIntyre, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, from the collector of internal revenue in the Philippines. He says that as a result of laws on the subject "the use of opium is now confined to a comparatively small number of confirmed users of the drug, practically all of whom are Chinese, who cannot give up the vice and who will go to any length to obtain it." While there are in many parts of the islands scattering instances where Filipinos still indulge in the use of opium, it is reported that less than 5 per cent of the former Filipino users, who had numbered 40,000 in 1906, were still victims of the vice in 1911 and that since then conditions in Manila have greatly improved. Conditions in the provinces are said to be fairly satisfactory. "It is perhaps too much," the reports say, "to suspect that the opium evil will ever be absolutely suppressed in the Philippine Islands. It may be said, however, that almost without exception Chinese users of opium in any of its forms are today using a much smaller amount than that used by the same persons a few years ago. This is shown by the comparative ease with which Chinese users sent to the hospital today are cured. The only hope of approximating total suppression lies in making indulgence in the habit so difficult that the younger generation will not acquire it, and in this direction the progress made has certainly been most satisfactory." 18 MOUNTAIN LIONS BAGGED Success of Hunt Conducted In the Yellowstone Park. Gardiner, Mont.—One of the most unique hunts in history and one that is being conducted on a large scale is the mountain lion drive in the Yellowstone National park. Within fifteen days eighteen lions were bagged, including the largest specimen ever seen in this region. The hunt is going on by permission of the government. The largest lion was jumped at a point near Gardiner and led the hunters and dogs a chase of forty-five miles before it was killed near the starting point. The method pursued in hunting the lions is to trail a beast to a tree or some spot where he seeks safety after desperately trying to outwit the pack of dogs chasing him. The lion then is shot. Much Confusion as All Clocks Are Moved Forward an Hour. Cleveland.—Eastern time has officially superseded central standard time here. Clevelanders are fitting their appetites and sleeping hours to the new time. The new time had a preliminary try-out in many business places and homes. In offices clocks were turned ahead an hour at noon lunch period. Employees returned to work on central time, thus getting an extra hour. The majority of Clevelanders, however, lost an hour when clocks were turned ahead. The Cleveland Athletic club observed the change with an "eastern time" party, and factory whistles announced the shifting of clocks. Clocks in public schools were moved ahead. In many buildings special exercises were held. Churches, both Protestant and Catholic, will go by eastern time. At the new courthouse central time prevails, a state statute prescribing central time must be used. So far as the chamber of commerce could learn, not a Cleveland factory or business house will continue to be governed by central standard time. All churches conduct their services under the new order. Theaters, saloons and professional and amateur baseball organizations observe the change. The dalrymen and truck gardeners have arranged to make their rounds an hour earlier, so breakfast need not be late. The movement for eastern time became state wide late winter, but the legislature failed to provide for the change. Cleveland then took the initiative. DELIVERS POSTAL TO DOG. Carrier Calls "Tige" to Every One Until Right Tail Wags. Hammond, Ind.—A postal card came from Hot Springs, Ark. directed to "Tige, Hammond, Ind." Postal authorities pondered over it long. it read: "Darling Tige. are you a good dog?" and was signed "Mother." Julius Kosanke, a mail carrier, agreed to deliver it. He called "Tige" at dogs all day and was chased by them. He at last came to a house where a boy legged, swaybacked bull pup came out to meet him. The dog growled savagely, and Kosanke said "Hello, Tige!" and the dog wagged his stubby tail. The carrier asked the dog's name was Tige. "It is. Have you a letter from his mother?" she asked Kosanke, and then continued: "Well, here is a letter to his mother; please mail it." What Segregation Means Rev. Quincy Ewing, a Southern Caucasian, Born and Reared in Mississippi, Shows the Policy of the South is to Keep the Afro-American in Inferior Status. Evidences of Christianity BY REV. QUINCY EWING. But we are very far from needing to rely upon any general consideration in support of the proposition advanced above. It is supported by evidences on every hand, waiting only the eye of recognition. Scarcely a day passes but something is said or done with this end in view, to emphasize, lest they forget, the conviction for both white man and Negro that the latter is and must remain an inferior. Let me instance a few such evidences. Consider, first, the "Jim Crow" legislation in the manner of its enforcement. Such legislation is supposed to have for its object the separation of the races in trains, street cars, etc., to save the white people from occasional contact with drunken, rowdy, ill-skilled Negroes, and to prevent personal encounters between the whites and blacks. Members of the different races occupy the same cars, separated by a distance, absurdly inadequate little open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and light that a conductor can move them from one seat to another with the strength of his little finger. Needless to add, these screens, would serve to obscure neither sound, sight, or only of drunken rowdyies who sat behind them! In summer cars, black and white passengers may be separated not even by a make-believe screen; they are simply required, respectively, to occupy certain seats in the front or the back end of the cars. In Birmingham, Alabama, the front seats are assigned to Negroes in all closed cars, and the back seats in all open ones. Why the front seats in the one case, and the back seats in the other, it is not easy to understand in the light of the letter and alleged spirit of the Jim Crow law! The underlying purpose of the law is clearly not the separation of the races in space; for public sentiment does not insist upon its fulfillment to that end. The underlying purpose of it would seem to be the separation of the races in status. The doctrine of inequality is attacked if white and black passengers ride in public conveyances on equal terms; the mere the Negro who rides in a public car must do so, not as of undoubted right, but as with the white man's regulation. "This place you may occupy, that other you may not, because I am I and you are you, lest to you or to me it should be obscured that I am I and you are you." Such is the real spirit of the Jim Crow laws. IN HOLY RUSSIA. 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 special dispatch from St. Petersburg, telling of three Russian youths having outraged and then crucified the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the Volga. After outraging the young girl, the dispatch declares, the three youths dragged her to a cemetery, where they nailed her to a cross above one of the graves. Nails were driven through her hands and feet and even through the arms. The three murderers were arrested, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted. Minnesota to the Front. The many friends of Prof. F. L. Parker will doubtless be pleased to learn that he has been unanimously reelected Professor of Agriculture of the State College at Dover, Del., and at an increased salary. His work has been highly complimented, which speaks well for Minnesota College training. His services have been and are sought for by the farmers throughout that entire section. The com-munity of the college which was held last Friday was the most successful in its history. He expects to spend part of his vacation after the summer school closes in St. Paul, with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Parker and renew old acquaintances. Of course he will receive a warm welcome by all. One of the great features on commencement day was the battalion drill by the college cadets under the command of Major F. L. Parker. Inspection was had by 1st Leut. Elvid L. Lank of the organized militia of Dolphins and they complimented Maj. Parker highly on the excellent showing that was made. STOP TIPPING CUSTOM. Ultimatum Issued to Pullman Company by California Commission. San Francisco, June 11.—We are willing to cut employees' wages one-half, or to double the rate the public now pays in order to be just, but we protest that you and other public service corporations cannot pass the buck continually to this commission. It is up to you to stop these practices and to pay your men decent wages. The truth is that the government ordered today by President John M. Eshman of the California State Railroad commission, to Richmond Dean, general manager of the Pullman company, in the course of a spirited argument on the tipping evil, during an official hearing on the question. General Manager Dean insisted that there is nothing inherently wrong in it. Such an idea the commissioner found "revolting." HONORING AN ARCH TRAITOR. Fifty years ago when we were going to school one of the things that greatly impressed us was the universal contempt that was held for the traitor Benedict Arnold. But things have changed now according to press dispatches in the daily papers, one of which is as follows: "Atlanta, Ga., June 3—Memorial exercises in many cities of the South marked the observance of the birthday of Jefferson Davis today. In several cases the designation was designated as a legal holiday." Just think of honoring the day that arch traitor was born! One of the causes of the conditions in this country today is because treason was no made so odious that no one whished to be tolerated in any con Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness a dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a first-class seat? In every large city, there are hundreds of Negroes who would gladly pay for first-class seats at the theatre and the baseball game, were they permitted to It can hardly be that permission is withheld because the theatres and baseball games are so well attended by the population that first-class seats are not furnished for the other half. As a matter of fact the tre-audioriums and baseball stands are seldom crowded; the rule is, not all first-class seats occupied, but many vacant Surely as simple as moving from seat to seat a makeshift screen in a street-car, would it be to set apart a certain number of seats in the dress-circle of every theatre, and in the grandstand of every baseball park, for Negro patrons. The reason why this is not done, is perfectly obvious; it would be intolerable to the average Southern man or woman to sit through the hours of a theatrical performance a baseball game on terms of equal accommodation with Negroes, even with a accommodation with Negroes would look out of place, of status, in the dress circle or the grandstand; their place, signifying their status, is the peanut-gallery, or the bleachers. *** Consider further that, while no Negro, no matter what his occupation, or personal refinement, or intellectual culture, or moral character, is allowed to trave in a pullman car between state lines, or to enter as a guest a hotel patronized by white people, the blackest of Negro nurses and valets are given food and shelter in all first-class hotels, and occasion neither disgust nor surprise in the Pullman cars. Here again the heart of the race problem is laid bare. The black nurse with a white baby in her arms, the black looking after the comfort of a white invalid, have the label of their inferiority conspicuously upon them; they understand themselves, and everybody understands that to be servants, enjoying certain privileges for the sake of the person served, on anything the Negro may do in the South, and anywhere he may go, provided the manner of his doing and his going is that of an inferior. Such is the premium put upon his inferiority; such his inducement to maintain it. 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 Wagoner county jail for safe keeping. Tuesday she was taken out of the jail by a masked mob and hanged 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. munity would admit he was one of the traitors of 1860-3.

"Returning" is not the proper word; it should be "gong." The people who are going to Africa are possibly descendants of Africans who were brought here against their wills a hundred years ago or more. The Afro-Americans who have started for Africa are poor deluded creatures who have been imposed upon by scoundrels of the Chief Sam ilk. They will sup sorrow by the ladle full. Africa is not the place to go in order to better one's condition unless the immigrant is a white man. An Afro-American with a little capital who wishes to really improve his condition should go to Brazil. In that country he will find no color line and his advancement will be limited only by his own capabilities.
