URGES CHANGES IN WEDDING SERVICE Dr. Shaw Would Suit Ceremony to Each Couple. CALLS WORD "OBEY" A SIN. "Till Death Do Us Part" Is Only a Mockery, She Asserts and Points to Divorce Courts For Proof — Long Ceremonies Boresome—A "Poll Parrot Affair," She Claims. Philadelphia.—"The marriage service usually used has outlived its usefulness and should be relegated to oblivion." This in a nutshell is the view of Dr. Anna Shaw, president of the National Woman Suffrage association, as expressed in an interview. She said: "The marriage service, for one thing, is a poll parrot affair. The method as used in reciting the pledge is ridiculous, to say the least. There is no solemnity, dignity or character to that kind of marriage. "I have been accused of making light of the nuptial ceremony because I re DR. ANNA HOWARD SHAW fuse to follow this fashion. To me marriage is too sacred an institution to permit any allotted promise. "I have always believed in making the ceremony fit the occasion. In other words, I have a different service for each marriage. Long ceremonies are boresome. Therefore I try to make mine as short as possible. "As for the word 'obey', I had only one girl who wanted to make such a crazy promise. In fact, she insisted on it. There was only one thing for me to do. I refused to marry her. She had to take the bridegroom to another minister. "No woman obeys her husband. No man with common sense asks his wife to obey him. In fact, it is a greater disgrace to expect than to give such a thing. No man would respect another woman if he obeyed her therefore I think it is positively wicked to use this word in the marriage contract. It is spiritually and morally wrong to encourage a woman to make a promise she knows in her heart she will not keep. She becomes a fool and a perjurer at the same time. "I have been criticised for cutting 'till death do us part'. It has been said that I advocated trial marriage. But how do I or any other minister know whether the couple will be dying to the divorce court in a year or two? We cannot look into the future. "Why, then, should we try to force ourselves to believe that they will live happy ever after, when the divorce will end?" I recalled a letter of separations, stare us in the face? In such cases they may be sincere at the time—most of them are, for that matter—but the love and affection die out with time. To them the saying of 'till death do us part' is only a mockery. DYNAMITE KILLS A COW. No, She Wasn't Blown Up—Bosy Ate the Explosive. Middletown, N. Y. — Eating several sticks of dynamite did not agree with a cow on the farm of George Klipparck at Kerr's Creek in Delaware county, and the animal is dead. Several other cows which tasted of the explosive were only slightly affected. The dynamite had been placed in sections of the pasture for use in blowing out holes for telephone poles. While the two former companies company which placed the dynamite in the pasture should pay for the animal, the company contends death was not due directly to the explosive. Wears Same Boots Two-years. Jamesville, Ws.—Phil Thomas, eighty-nine. La Prairie, is wearing a pair of old style knee high boots which he bought in Jamesville in 1872. forty-two years ago. He has worn them nearly every day since he purchased them. Since 1872, Gilbert Earnest made the boots, verified the story. He says they were made of imported French calf and sold for $12 or $15. HAD MADISON'S RAZOR. Prisoner Said He Was Fourth Presi- dent's Great-great-grandson. Savannah, Ga., F.-A. M. Adelson, who says he is a direct descendant of President Madison, was locked up here after a street fight and after he had surmised a razor which he said originally was the property of James Madison. The prisoner was held as a witness and then released. Madison, who strangler 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-great-grandfather and that razor and the family Bible are all of his possessions that we have left in the family room, and without a place to sleep, but I have never parted with that razor." He took the razor with him when he was released. WOULD DECIMALIZE TIME. Frenchman Proposes Twenty Hores and 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. The new proposal involves the division of the day into twenty periods, called horses, instead of twenty-four hours, each horse being similarly divided into fifty periods, called chrones, each chrone—about one and a half minutes—being the thousandth part of the day, and the meter are the thousandth part, and the kilogram and kilometer. The chrones are further subdivided into centichrones, the equivalent of a second. The devil of the plan asserts that 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 Game 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 will of Martha Washington was taken from the Fairfax courthouse 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 1862 gave it to his daughter who, thirteen years later, in 1905, sold it to J. Pierpont Morgan. "The account of the transfer. She stated at the time of the transfer. She stated that her father's regiment garrisoned Fairfax Court House in 1862 and that he had headquarters in the courthouse. Another command had previously occupied the place, and the men had broken open the safes. The floors were littered with papers which the colone'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 will. "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. With both of these suggestions Mr. Morgan couples another, that George Washington's will, now Virginia's property, be exhibited with it. MARRY AT LONG RANGE. Woman In Holland and Man In Wisconsin Are Curiously Wed. Superior, Wils. - Johannes Jacobus Kuyk, after a wedding ceremony preliminaries for which lasted several months, is a married man. His bride was Miss Maria Louise Grotendorf of Holland. They were married by mail. The bride is expected to arrive from Holland June 18. Final papers uniting the couple have arrived from Holland. A number of officials took part in the ceremony. When Mrs. Kuyk arrives she will be accompanied by Miss Nellie Rees of Holland, who is to become the bride of G. Kuyk of Grand Rapids, Minn., a brother of the Superior man. THE APPEAL. POSTAGE STAMP MAP. Unique Idea Worked Out by an Atchison Letter Carrier. Atchison, Kau.—John Fortune, a mail carrier of this city, has competed a map of the United States from postage stamps. By using stamps of various colors he separated the original thirteen colonies, also outlining every state. The large rivers are shown with orange colored stamps. In the center of the map is a great American eagle with wings spread, the olive branch and bundle of arrows clutched in its talons. The eagle is worked out the phrase "Eagle." The great lakes are shown and the Canadian border is designated with Canadian stamps. The map is bordered with pictures of presidents, the likenesses being secured from stamps of various designs. In the center of the state of Virginia is a copy of the Declaration of Independence, bordered with stamps of Washington design. The stamps are all pasted upon a canvas, 5 by 9 feet, and each one of them is trimmed, requiring in finite patience the work. The number of stamps used in making the map is known only to Mr. Fortune, as it is his intention to tense it to large stores to be used as a basis for guessing contests. KILLS RATTLER. WINS WIFE. Romance is Helped Along When Ranchman Slays Coyotes. Denver.-Three years ago Patrick J. Kerrigan was riding over his home-stead, near Deer Trail, Colo., when he came upon a young woman who had encountered a rattlesnake. Kerrigan dismounted from his horse and killed the snake. The young lady thanked him and went to her cabin, adjoining his homeestead. Later the same year Kerrigan killed a number of coyotes engaged in the slaughter of the young woman's stock. Again she thanked him and again he rode away. Thus their romance began. Finally Kerrigan proposed and Mary Dougherty accepted. The romance reached its climax when the pair were married at St. Patrick's church, North Denver EARNS COLLEGE COURSE ON TWO ACRE FARM Lad of Seventeen Clears $800 by His Industry. Lad of Seventeen Clears $800 by His Industry. Waterloo, la. — An income of $800 from two acres within a few months is the record made last summer by Glenn Trapp, a seventeen-year-old boy. The boy, who formerly was a news carrier, paid for his land with the onions that he raised and made a neat sum in addition on other vegetables. A desire to earn enough money to go to college was the incentive for the venture by young Trapp. Early last spring he purchased two acres of ground in Beaver Gardens, ten miles north of Des Moines, on the Perry Interurban. The land cost him $500, and he made the first payments with money he had earned and saved while carrying papers. The boy erected a tent on his two acres and lived there during the summer, doing his own cooking and working from dawn till dark on his small farm. He planted the most of his land to onions, also putting in a few melons, potatoes and sweet corn. By thinning out his onion crop early in the summer he realized nearly $60 on young onions. The onions he harvested later are recognized by experts to be about the best grade and quality they have been raised in Iowa. He took out nearly 200 bushels of onions, for which he receives $1 per bushel. His melons, potatoes and sweet corn have brought him an additional income. Within another year Trapp expects to have sufficient funds to complete a full college course. His success with his two acres is considered an excellent example of the possibilities of intensive farming. NONE OF 410.000.000 KILLED. 299 Railroads in U. S. Carry This Number in Year Without Mishap. Chicago.—Two hundred and ninety-nine railways of the United States, operating a mileage equal to the combined railways of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Austria and Italy, went through last fiscal year without a single fatality to a passenger in a train accident. The railways, which operate together 120,000 miles, constitute more than two-thirds of the operating companies making their annual reports to the bureau of railway news and statistics. During the year the railways thus reporting complete immunity carried a total of 409,608,488 passengers. Long Distance Fly Swatter Janesville. Wis.—When cunbwomen of Janesville inaugurated a campaign and offered a bounty of 10 cents per 100 dead flies, they had no intention of making the contest nation wide. Nevertheless the committee sent 60 cents to Master Wayne Rogers, Star. Miss, a nine-year-old idh who read of the Janesville fight and got bug. He sent the carcasses in an envelope which contained a note written in a childish earwail. --- GAME AND FISH ABOUND. Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt, Following Wishes of Her Husband to Have Forest Preserved, Will Sell Place to Uncle Sam—One of the Most Magnificent Domains in America. Asheville, N. C.—The 86,700 acres of beautiful wilderness at Biltmore, N. C., which the United States forest reservation commission recently decided to buy from Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt, is the largest area owned by the nation east of the Mississippi river and is destined to serve as a national park for the 35,000,000 people who live within a radius of a day's journey from it. Most of them know nothing of its character, and few of the many thousand visitors who have passed on the white roads of the Biltmore estate and admired the magnificence of Biltmore house have glimpsed more of it than the misty blue barrier that bounds it on the northwest. It is a lordy domain of 134 square miles of wooded mountains and rushing streams which has thus been added to the national possessions. It is the most extensive hardwood reserve east of the Rockies. It is a game and fish preserve which has few equals. It has seventeen miles of good roads built for use by automobiles, cresting heights over 5,000 feet above sea level. Great mountains rise in its bounds, culminating in the rock peak of 5.757 high Pisgah. There are grassy "bails" and domes dark with balsam and rock cliffs caverning bear and wolves. On the slopes are magnificent trees and tangled areas of rhododon dren and laurel. The beds are paved with rocks, and often the white water spreads in silvery shimmer over giant floors of granite. Waterfalls are here and there, one on Looking Glass creek having an abrupt fall of sixty feet. Scores of small streams unite to form the Davidson river, which empties into the French Broad. The reserve extends from a point six miles from Asheville southwest to Pisgah Forest station on the Toxaway branch of the Southern railway, lying between the Brevard-Ashweaver state park and the Pisgah Ridge on the northwest, its due north limit being a line drawn from Pisgah to a point four miles from Biltmore house. Much the greater part of it is in Transylvania county. The automobile road built by Mr. Vanderbilt overlooks it, and by using it one can be in the midst of the wilderness in two hours' ride from Asheville and Asheville is only twenty-one hours journey from New York. The automobile road ascends 2,500 feet to the elaborate hunting lodge of the Vanderbilt's, which with 500 acres adjoining is excepted from the sale, and then continues along the ridge ten miles, topping the ridge and then peaks while maintaining an average elevation of 4,500 feet above sea level. Each turn of this road develops new beauties. Sometimes it hangs over a precipice looking down on a sea of greenery, and again from a lofty point one sees a vast panorama of mountains rising and falling apparently like billows sevente of the balsms being neither than Mount Washington—and in the distance the prodigious wall of the Great Snokies on the Tennessee line. The secretaries of agriculture, interior and war came up this road from Asheville to the hunting lodge, twenty-seven in an hour and a half, and at that time a chance of creating any vacancies in the balsms. These government officials inspected the property in June, 1913. An extension of this road a dozen miles to Trevard would connect it with the state road to Asheville, now in very good condition, and thus provide a sixty mile tour for automobiles. From it Mr. Vanderhilt constructed two well graded roads leading down into the valleys, and there one finds many miles of easy gradient highway which he built along the water courses. The Appalachian Park association, whose headquarters are in Asheville, has been for a year actively promoting the conversion of all lands bought by the forest reservation commission into national parks, which should be connected by automobile roads built by the state. It is estimated that there are now tann deer on the tract, beeshes wolves, foxes, squirrels, recoons, quail wild turkeys, native phaeasants and the descendants of the English and Chinese phaeasants and the wild boar with which it was stocked many years ago. Blind Merciful to Blind: Cinchmatth.-Blind taking mercy on the blind was in evidence here in the municipal court when Judge Bell was called upon to judge the case of Fred Meyers, accused of professional begging. Meyers said he was blind and was trying to beg enough to get to Richmond, Ind. Judge Bell, who also is blind, arranged for the transportation of Meyers to Richmond. Defective Page TO VIEW CHINA O'FLOOD AREA. Engineers to Examine Ground For $20,000,000 Prepared sites $420,000,000 Residency Plan. Washington - The 8-step in the American Red Cross locating plan for the prevention of burns in eastern China through a 2000 reclamation project has been completed with the selection of a board of engineers to examine the ground. The plan has the approval of President Wilson, who was authorized by congress to send the Red Cross a specified number of army engineers skilled in river work. The board will consist of Colonel William Willis, chief engineer of corps of engineers, U. S. A. builder of the Gatun locks and dam at Tamanu; Arthur Powell Davis, chief engineer of the United States reclamation service; and Daniel Webster Mead, professor of engineering in the University of Wisconsin. Charles Davis Jameson, general advisory engineer, who made the preliminary examination of the affected district and on whose report this board is being sent to China, will accompany the engineers. When the work is undertaken Colonial Silbert will have the Red Cross reclamation request of the Chinese government for appointment as engineer in chief of the conservancy work. DARING RESCUE OF CHILD. Reading Laborer Carries Two-year-old to Safety With Teeth. Reading — A two-year-old child, Mary Periorna, wandered from her home, near the old Seyfert furnace, to be discovered several hours later on a decaying bridge 100 feet above the Reading railway tracks. A strong breeze and the weakened bridge made her position extremely dangerous, and the only way to reach her quickly was by a rough climb up the precipitous side of a clinker bank. Stephen Circella, a young Italian laborer, was the hero who rose to the mission. While hundreds of neighbors banded on the sharp bank of slag, painfully tequila hands and legs, crawled out on the shaking bridge structure, seized the belt of the little girl's dress between his teeth and carried her thus back to safety and her anxious parents. Denver.--For being courteous to an aged woman Robert Reiner has been left $25,000 in her will, but Mrs. Christina J. Evans, who took care of the same old lady's dog until the dog died, for which, she says, she was promised $500 in the will, had to start suit in the district court against the estate in order to collect the money she said she had. The old lady was Mrs. Cella Oster. She was worth about $100,000 when she died a short time ago and divided her money and property among a number of friends and bets and made several bequests to charitable institutions, but Reiner came in for the rest of the estate, receiving $10,000 from it and all of the money Mrs. Oster had in two Denver banks, amounting to $15,000. Mrs. Oster became a widow a number of years ago and, being children, she did not know what kind of death unless he was well paid for his little services. Reiner, however, she found to be a different sort, although a young man. He entertained Mrs. Oster in numerous ways and never asked anything in return. When she died he found he suddenly had become rich. When Mrs. Oster made her will she left $1,500 to be paid to Mrs. Evans for taking care of her dog. Daisy, until the latter's death, died in July, but the latter's death she made a codicil to her will in which she revoked the bequest to Mrs. Evans. FIRST WHISKY KILLS HIM. Young Man Dies After Convival Evening With Friends. Philadelphia.--After dropping unconscious in his home Edward Cavanaugh, Jr., twenty-one, died soon afterward. According to the police, Cavanaugh went for a stroll with several friends. He never had drunk whisky before. During the evening he had several drinks. He returned home and, according to his father, was not intoxicated. He went to the cellar to remove a nail from his shoe and called that he was dying. His father rushed to his aid, but he died a few minutes later. SAVED LIFE. WON LIBERTY. Convict Plunged Into Lake and Rescued Drowning Boy. Wichita Falls, Tex. - Plunging into the waters of the Fort Worth and Denver railroad lake, near here, a member of the county convict gang rescued a drowning boy. The boy was Joe Perdue, who was seining in the lake with other boys and got beyond his depth. The cries of his comrades reached the convict gang at work nearby and one of them plunged into the water and dragged Perdue ashore just in time to save his life. The convict was given his liberty.

Secretary of Kansas State Board Says Brady Attic Black Attire Means Discomfort. Topeka, Kan.-1, Dr. J. C. Crumbleman, secretary of the state board of health, would make the main streets of all Kansas towns resemble the promenade of a tropical city. He addressed a circular to the men of Kansas taking them to discard the blue and black summer clothing for white. He wears white during the hot season and says it pays. Also, he would discard ice water as a menace to health. "Women have learned the value of white dresses in the summer time," said Dr. Crumbleman, "I can't understand why the men haven't learned the lesson long ago. Anything that resists heat in the summer makes for health. Black, blue or any other dark cloth is a heat absorbent and injurious. "Our summer temperatures are as high and sometimes higher, than in the tropics. The fact that the air is dryer all is that saves us. White clothes in the tropics are not a whim of fashion. They are a tribute to necessity and hardship." "The man in dark, heavy clothing always is rushing to the ice water," continued Dr. Crumbleman. "And ten to one he will have a grouch on, while the cool man in white clothing is serene and even tempered. The ice water, dark clothing and the grouch are detrimental to public and private health." SAYS VICE CRUSADE HARMS Poor Girls No Worse Than Others, Adds W. H. Allen. Madison, Wis.-We must stop the morbid discussion of vice from the pubt." Dr. William H. Allen, head of the New York bureau of municipal research, told the anti-vice committee of the Wisconsin legislature. "If discussion of this subject by women and others should be omitted for ten years," he adds, "there would be wholesome improvement. "This country is about to pay heavy for this anti-vice crusade. It is rank-injustice to poor girls to say that evil exists among them than among others." There is no evidence that vice is on the increase. It is probably on the decrease." The Rev. E. G. Updike of the First Congregational church said that moral conditions, notably among university students, are better than twenty years ago, and the conduct of the students is generally good and steadily improving Scandals Brought to Light by Recent Shooting. Paris.-The Paris press is foreshadowing an approaching exposure in the private life of one of the most powerful statesmen in France which may cause a revolution in the matrimonial standard demanded of high officials of the government, hitherto elected to office regardless of the most fargent violations of private morality. The exposure in question, which awaits investigation by detectives in the United States, is directed point blank at the enforced resignation of President Polcain and undoubtedly is purely political in that respect. But it is part of a widespread movement throughout the country which was started almost immediately after President Polcain was installed in the Elysee with the wife he married immediately after her, as her lawyer, had obtained for her a divorce from her former husband, a cab driver. That Mine, Polcain was an Italian by birth, and been an actress on the vaudeville stage did not serve as a protection against her enemies. They have been able to strengthen their campaign against her by the fact that her husband has compelled the government to give her a place in society which the wives of other presidents of France did not have. And out of the furious agitation over the murder of Editor Calmette of the Figaro by Mme. Caillaux, wife of the minister of finance, the movement for a moral standard in politics gathered many recruits. They are uniting to produce some decided action at the time of Mme Caillaux's trial. The press calls attention to the fact that she is a divorcee, that the man she married was divorced, that Caillaux had been divorced twice and that the defending lawyer, Labert, is the husband of a divorcee, the former wife of the famous musician, Dachmann, whose divorce was obtained by Labor's legal efforts. HELD UP BY A HAIRBRUSH Quick Witted Denver Lawyer Gives a Burglar a Scare. Denver.-A burglar attempting to break into the home of Thomas J. Dixon, an attorney, was frightened away at the "point" of a hairbrush. Dixon detected the burglar cutting a screen on a window of his home. Selzing a silver mounted hairbrush, he pointed it at the man. "Throne your hands," commanded Dixon. The burglar saw the glint of the silver back and quickly held his hands above his head. Dixon then called to his wife to telephone for the police. Before the officers arrived the burglar discovered Dixon's ruse. He scrambled over a high board fence and disappeared. $2.40 PER YEAR. ASSERTS NEED OF U. S. UNIVERSITY GREAT FIELD NOW OPEN. Many Reasons Why College Should Be Established In Washington—Its Scope and Effect Upon National Affairs. Both Government and People Would Benefit by Its Influence. New York.—Several bills are now before congress providing for the establishment of a national university. The National Association of State Universities has for many years urged such a measure, but there has been little general discussion of the project. This seeming lack of popular interest is due, according to those most closely identified with the movement, to the fact that there has been no definite statement of what a national university means nor of its scope and its effect upon national affairs. Chancellor Elmer Lewis Brown of New York university, formerly commissioner of education at Washington, one of the foremost exponents of the project, said: "I believe the time has come when there should be a general agitation Photo by American Press Association. ELMER ELLSWORTH BROWN. for the establishment of a national university—not a nebulous, incboate, intangible federation of our state universities and not even this combined with the various scientific bureaus of our government, but an actual, physical entity. We should have lands and buildings, a board of government, a strong teaching force, classrooms and students and a fund sufficient to maintain the highest kind of research. "The economic demand for such a university is obvious and the field for its operations no less apparent. The great growth in usefulness of our state universities and the very trend of the growth of our private universities show it. Not so many years ago our private institutions were the intellectual bombs or the first developed. They taught the three professions—ministry, law and medicine—and acknowledged no other callings or lines of work as entitled to that name. "Today they have developed from scholastic institutions into educational institutions and have created a number of professions. For I hold that any field in which scientific knowledge is applied to the public welfare is a profession. Instead of treating only with books they treat with facts, applying the results of scientific research to the problems of commerce and industry. Indeed, I do not call to mind any phase of our industrial life which they do not touch. "The idea of a national university is not new. It was strongly advocated by Washington, who bequeathed certain shares of stock as a nucleus for its endowment. Our governmental organization is and has been for many years working toward that result. We have no isolated bureau, nor could have as a national proposition. The reports on the observations and investigations of the different stations established by the government all over the United States have been made publicly available each year in the bureau which has jurisdiction over it. The result is that all the information gathered by isolated stations of any one department has a place of concentration where the whole of the findings can be compared and the net result or conclusion arrived at. "But without co-ordinating this information with economic conditions in other fields no adequate diagnosis of a condition of error can be made and no prescription for its correction can be written. Since it is impossible, in these days of interstate commerce and even of international commerce, for any community to live a life of isolation, since the lines of one industry touch another, it must be apparent that there is great pressing need for a central institution. "But not only results of the activities of government departments should find centralization. Here also should come the findings of state and private universities, both in this country and abroad, on any and every subject affecting our national life." orem emmescmren-ecmmieemmcmensemmememee te bf | || aes 7 EES ll es, inv. =e Syitloues "~ Hue Perenuts, wel iy ZN" SU eee Be) Gees K pe pis PNT oo ea. ieee THE APPEAL National Afro-American Newspaper J.

Sena- tor James E. Martine delivered the address to the graduates and among other things he said: “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 molly- coddle 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 com taining Afro-American youth for it is sadly needed. In the majority of the addresses de- livered at Afro-American school com- mencements the speakers practically advise the graduates to become molly: coddles and give up all of their rights ag men. They are told to be good and the white man will hand them every: thing on a silver platter.

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 yoters off to themselves and shutting them out of the party councils in the forma- tion 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 in- structions given them by the advo- cates of this segregation idea. It is an idea entirely foreign to true Re- publican principles, having no place upon the roll of honor with the names of Lincoln, Sumner, Grant, Douglas 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. and others, but very properly belongs in the category of ideas advocated by Vardaman, Tillman, Blease and their ik, No separate meetings are necessary for the German, Irish, Jew, Italian or any English-speaking race of Re- publicans, then why in the name of all that is honest and fair are such meet- ings necessary for Afro-American Re- publicans, Afro-Americans do not de- mand more than their share of re- cognition 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 pref- erences for men who dosire their sup- Port at the polls, and this can only be done by Afro-American representa- itves being admitted to the party councils where the selections ot the party organization are discussed, This is the only method we know of where- by 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 COUN- CIL 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 jimerow school ought to be in better business, They are making a great mistake. In- stead of extending jimerowism they ought to fight it and have the jim- crow 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 agi- tating 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-Ameri- can people are segregated why not the Jews next? ‘Then perhaps some numerically weak class of citizens of foreizn 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 great wholesale drygoods house of H. B. Clafin & Co. has failes and the Jews did it. Years ago A. T. Stewart the frat great drygoods merchant prince of America, angered the Jews Ly refus- ing to receive them as guests at the Grand Hotel at Saratoga, of which he was the owner, Jewish merchants all over the country combined and in a few years forced him to the wall. ‘The Chaflin Company is really the reorganized Stewart business. For years Jewish merchants have been withdrawing their trade and when the pinch came Jewish bankers, remem- bering the insult to their people in the past, refused to furnish the money to enable the firm to tide over the trouble, ‘The Jews never forget an injury and who wrongs the race must pay the price.

Postmaster Gen- eral Burleson, probably the most preju- diced man in the Cabinet, issues dis- criminating orders, Alexander Ste- phens, Superintendent, arranges the details of his segregation schemes in the Railway Man Service, and Auditor Kram, the “Father of Segregation,” continues the infamous work he start- ed some years ago. What a farce! 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 jimerow library and it was ac: cepted without protest, Residential segregation came as a natural sequence. ‘The idea of the Caucasian fiends of the South is that persons with an ad- mixture 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, WITH- OUT PROTEST are doing themselves a great wrong and hanging a mill- stone about thelr children’s necks. EVERY KIND OF JIMCROWISM SHOULD BE FOUGHT TO A FINISH. 1S CASTE BREAKING UP? Sir George Macalpine says that caste in India is breaking up and that Chris: tianity 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 jump- ing 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 chureh they will promptly be organized into segregated churches in violation of the alleged basic principle of Christianity. All eyes are directed toward Paris, France, today, as tonight Jack John- son, champion pugilist of the world, is to meet Frank Moran, of Pittsburgh. ‘The advance sale of seats indicates that the largest and most fashionable crowd in the history of French fights will be present. You know Johnson is a French citizen now and the betting is two to one on him. We do not care a tinker’s damn about Johnson or the fighting game, but as he said in St. Paul before the Johnson-Jeffries fight, so say we now, “may the best man win!” Afro-Americans all over the country ought to continue to protest to Presi- dent 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.” Last December THE APPEAL sent a prominent Louisville man a small con- tribution to aid the fight against segre- gation, 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 im New York, police found $53,000 in bills and bank notes. We suppose the poor fel- low was afraid the high cost of living would break him if he lived according ‘ta bile. nsens.

Berry, trembling with anger and dis. appointinent, told his story to the po- lice and returned to his Georgia home.

Berry says he was sent to the peni- tentiary on Harrell's testimony, bis family was scattered, his farm lost and health wrecked. He was four years in the penitentiary, he said, and for the past five years had been reunit- ing his family and home ties, nursing all the while a determination to some day kill Harrell, who, he had learned, ad reached El Paso.

Statistics Show Need of a Stable Government, Washington.—Consul Theodore C. Hamm sends to the department of commerce from Durango a striking ar Tay of facts showing the necessity for ending the Mexican revolution and re- establishing a stable form of govern. ment in that republic. For example, the state of Durango in 1913 was favored with abundant and seasonable rains, insuring fine crops of all staple farm products un- der ordinary conditions, but not more than two-thirds of the usual acreage was planted, and not more than 10 per cent of the crops planted were gathered by the rightful owners of the land, the remainder being appropriat- ed for military purposes or harvested by others than the rightful owners on aecount of lawless conditions. Of Chile peppers, for instance, the export wns omy $4,600 as aguinst $00,000. t $75,000 in normal years. The cotton yield, says the consul, was phenomenal in the famous La. gina district of eastern Durango and southwestern Coahuila, along the Na- gas river—120,000 bales, worth $8,500,- 000. Half the crop is still in the warehouses at Torreon, and the other half was shipped to the United States at a sacrifice instead of being sent, as ordinarily, to the cotton factories in southern Mexico. ‘The exports to the United States from Durango in the last year were $2,254,000 as against $9,731,000 in 1912. The railways to the gulf have not been in operation in 1914, and all trade is paralyzed. Torreon in times of peace is a busy interior manufacturing city, like Syracuse, N. Y¥., or Paterson, NJ In the city of Mazatlan, state of Si- naloa, on the Pacific, United States Consul W. E. Alger reports, the ex- ports to the United States in 1913 fell oft mlmost $900,000, or 20 per cent. Eggs are now selling there at 7 cents apiece, milk at 30 cents a quart, fuel At four and Give times the usual’ price and all other articles in proportion. ‘Two of the three banks have closed, and all business is suspended.

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, BY REV. QUINCY EWING. Why is it that in cvarye Sauthoc: 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 in- stance a few such evidences, Consider, first, the “Jim Crow” legis- lation in the manner of its enforce- ment. Such legislation is supposed to have for its object the separation of the races in trains, street cars; ete., to save the white people from occasional contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmell- ing Negroes, and to prevent’ personal encounters between the whites and blacks. Members of the different Faces occupy the same cars, separated only by absurdly inadequate little open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and light that a conduetor 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, nor smell of drunken rowdies 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 un- derlying 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 would be attacked if white and black Passengers rode in public conveyances on equal terms: therefore the Negro who “rides Ina public conveyance must do so, not as of undoubted right, but as with the white man’s regula: tion. “This place you may occupy, that other you may not, because | am | and you are yau, lest to you or to me it should.be obscured that | am | and you are you.” Such is the real spirit or the dim Crow laws.

Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was gov- ernor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the govern. ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev- ery civil and politcal right which white men have and there is no color line, Among over things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of con: aitions in the United States and the West Indies,” he said, “has brought me to that conclusion, American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. 1 do not expect them to adopt the meth- ods of missionaries, nor do I sympa- thize with all their programmes.

Defective Page Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness @ dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a firstclass 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, weré they permitted to. It can hardly be that permission is withheld because theatres and base- ball games are so well attended by half the population that first-class seats could not be furnished for the other half, As a matter of fact, thea- treauditoriums and baseball grand. 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 sereen 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 base- ball park, for Negro patrons. The rea- son why’this is not done, {s perfectly obvious; it would be intolerable to the average Southern man or woman to sit through the hours of a theatrical Performance or a baseball game on terms of equal accommodation with Negroes, even with a screen between. Negroes would look out of place, out 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 Ne- Bro, 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 ho- tel patronized by white people, the blackest of Negro nurses and valets are given food and shelter in all first- class hotels, and occasion neither dis- gust nor surprise in the Pullman cars. Here again the heart of the race prob: lem is laid bare. The black nurse witl, a white baby in her arms, the blac valet looking after the comfort of a white invalid, have the label of their inferiority conspicuously upon them: they understand themselves, and. everybody understand them, to be ser- vants, enjoying certain privileges for the sake of the person served, Almost anything the Negro may do in the South, and anywhere he may go, pro- vided ‘the manner of his doing and his going is that of an inferior. Such is the premium put upon his taterlority such his inducement to mantain it. IN CHRISTIAN U. s, Afro-American Woman Lynched by Americans. Muskogee, Okla.—Lemuel Peace, a Caucasian, went into the colored sec- tion of the city Sunday night and mis treated Marie Scott, an Afro-American woman. To defend herself, she killed him. She was arrested and put into the Wagoner county jail for safe keep- ing. Tuesday she was taken out of the jail by a masked mob and hanged toa 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. Jamaica were democratic and human- itarian and, above all, uncompromis- ingly Christian, “Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord, When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebelliou, If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain im- mediately civil peace, but I am conf dent that they will be traveling the only road toward it, “I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combina tion between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies.
