WOMEN DEMAND LINDSEY'S RECALL Opponents of Head of Juvenile Court Chiefly Suffragists. MANY GRIEVANCES CITED. Statement on Strike Situation Called False—Accused of Using Position For Personal Profit—Laboring Men Remain Stanch Supporters of Judge and Fight For His Retention. Denver.—A very careful canvass of the anti-Lindsey sentiment in Denver, especially among the women, shows that it has grown steadily during the last six months. Lenders in the Women's Protective league and in reform movements outside of that organization are loudly clamoring for the recall of the judge of Denver's juvenile court. Men voters for the most part refuse to commit themselves openly. Dr. Mary Elizabeth Bates, the head of the Woman's Protective league, which was organized to obtain legal protection of girls, declared that it is "war against Lindsey to the end." She called attention to a statement just issued by the league, which she said, fully expresses her views. The statement in part follows: "Some months ago the Woman's Protective league called attention to the unlawful practice of the Denver juvenile court in virtually protecting men confessing or convicted of crimes against girl children. These statements were supported by verified transcripts of the official records of the juvenile court itself. "But so shameful was the state of affairs disclosed that Denver and the rest of the country found it hard to believe, especially since Judge Lindsey has long trained the public to believe in his devotion to children and that any one who criticises the juvenile court does so from some selfish or sinister motive. "The disclosures of the Woman's Protective league, however, raised doubts and set people to thinking and JUDGE BENJAMIN B. LINDSEY. investigating—something they never did before. "This, together with his recent shockingly false statements in the east about strike conditions in Colorado, has at last aroused our people to his real character and that of his juvenile court. "The Woman's Protective league therefore desires to call your attention again to its charges and its efforts to expose this man, begin about a year ago, and to predict his speedy elimination from the public life of Colorado." In cities and towns outside of Denver Judge Lindsey is freely censured for his attitude during the strike and his recent public utterances in eastern cities. To offset this a large percentage of the labor vote of Denver is undoubtedly pro-Lindsey. It was reported that petitions for Judge Lindsey's recall were being circulated, and the report was given much prominence. It now develops that the petitions were prepared, but never left the attorney's hands. The grounds upon which it is proposed to recall Judge Lindsey, according to one of the petitions, are as follows: First.-He has repeatedly and continually absented himself from said court and neglected his judicial duties for private and personal matters in no wise connected to court. Second.-He has delegated to clerks and subordinates powers and duties purely judicial. Third.-He has refused to hear competent evidence, has shown blas and prejudice in cases on trial before him and has decrees contrary to the law and the facts. Fourth.-He has required clerks to surrogate portions of the salaries allowed to them by law. Fifth. -He has used his judicial position for personal exploitation and profit Sixth.-He has conducted himself in a manner unbecoming a judge and in such a manner as to bring the state of Colorado to children in public derision and contempt. Mrs. Mary F. Lathrop, a lawyer and opponent of Judge Lindsey, declared that inpeachment proceedings may be resorted to if the women find themselves blocked in their effort to recall Judge Lindsey. ```markdown ``` U. S. OWNS 8,000 ISLANDS. These Support 10,000,000 Persons and These Support 10,000,000 Persons and Have $300,000,000 Commerce. Have $300,000,000 Commerce. Washington-According to a report recently received by the National Geographical society the United States now owns exactly 8,000 islands, supporting a population of 10,000,000. The report further shows that the commere of these islands exceeds $300. 10,000, or more than that of the United States in any year prior to 1850. American capital invested in the islands aggregates approximately $400,000,000, and from them there is shipped to the United States $100,000,000 worth of products every year and they take in exchange products of about equal value. The feature of the report is the development of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Alaskan islands. It shows that when Porto Rico came under American rule fifteen years ago there was but one school building on the island, while today there are 1,200. There were 25,000 pupils enrolled in the first year of American administration, now there are 175,000. Then there was but one good road of forty miles; now there are about 1,000 miles. Production of sugar has grown from 65,000 tons a year to 365,000. Foreign commerce was about $20,000,000 a year; now it is nearly $100,000,000. Hawaii has been extremely prosperous since it came permanently under the American flag in 1900. The assessed value of the sugar crop more than doubled, deposits in banks trebled and in savings banks quadrupled. Hawaii's irrigation system is the marvel of the engineering world, and the quantity of sugar produced per acre far exceeds that of any other spot on the globe. "The Alaskan islands and mainland," says the report, "cost us $7,500,000, an expenditure that many believed to be unjustifiable, yet for many years the annual value of sealskins alone approximated the cost of the entire area. At present the value of the canned salmon sent us from Alaska in a single year is twice as much as the entire possession cost." LABOR PEACE AID IN RECORD COAL OUTPUT Total Anthracite Production 81,700,000 Tons. Washington.—In spite of the fact that householders paid more last winter for hard coal than they have done for some time, official figures show that all previous records were smashed last year in the production of anthracite coal. Likewise investigations show there were fewer strikes or other interruptions to mining operations in the anthracite regions than there have been for some time. The production, according to figures complied, reached the remarkable total of more than 81,700,000 tons. If all this could be loaded at the same time, and placed end to end, the cars needed to hold the fuel would stretch the distance from San Francisco to London. The absence of labor troubles in the anthracite region is attributed to the fact that the hard coal miners are now working under an agreement extending over a period of four years from April 1, 1912, and that there is every reason to believe that industrial peace in the anthracite fields will continue until 1916. Because of the increasing popularity of artificial gas and coke for domestic purposes it is said that there is little probability that anthracite coal production will show any marked increase in the future. The increase in the use of gas and coke, it is estimated, will probably keep pace with the increase of population in the markets supplied by anthracite. On the other hand, it is asserted, the use of anthracite coal as a manufacturing fuel having been practically eliminated its production is not affected by trade conditions to the same extent as that of bituminous coal. Besides breaking records in the tonage of hard coal produced, last year broke previous records regarding the working conditions in the mines. The average working time for men, 257 days, exceeded anything in the history of the industry, the nearest approach being in 1911, when an average of 246 working days was recorded. The number of deaths by accident in the mines showed a marked increase over the number of those recorded in 1912. Last year there were 618 fatal accidents as compared with 584 in 1912. PIN IN THROAT? JUST SING. Member of a Choir Avoids a Surgical Operation. Sturgis. Mich.-If you swallow a pin and the physicians cannot help you join a choir and sing a high note and you may be safe. At least that is the experience of Miss Mary Austin of this city, who swallowed a white beaded pin. All efforts of physicians to dislodge it were futile. She was told she must go to the University of Michigan hospital immediately. As the train did not leave for several hours and choir practice was scheduled, she went to the church. She did not intend to attempt to sing, but as she could not feel the pin she took her place. On her first high note the pin was dislodged. THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. JULY 4. 1914. U.S. MUST IMPORT MANY ARTICLES Reports Tell What Countries Supply This Nation. VALUE INCREASING FAST. Coffee Comes Exclusively From Brazil and Central America—Many Valuable Products Sent From American Insular Possessions—Tables Give Interesting Data. Washington.—Of great practical value to the American business man seeking information regarding foreign markets for the goods which he handles or the sources of imported raw materials and of goods competing with domestic products are two publications presenting details with respect to every important article exported from or imported into the United States, prepared by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce. It is interesting to note, for example, that coffee is now supplied almost exclusively by Brazil, Central America and other tropical countries of the western hemisphere; that sugar, formerly imported in large quantities from Java and the sugar beet countries of Europe, is now chiefly supplied by Cuba, the Philippines and the domestic product, including Hawaii and Porto Rico, and that champagne shows constantly diminishing importations as a result of the rapidly expanding home output. American factories consume great quantities of imported materials, last year's imports including $50,000,000 worth of fibers, $80,000,000 worth of raw silk, $100,000,000 worth each of india rubber and blades. These are mere examples of the more than 500 different classes of articles whose sources are shown in a section of "Commerce and Navigation of the United States" and which include such widely varied items as asbestos, beads, camphor, human hair, ivory, kapok, rattans, toys, mushrooms and zinc. Of even more interest to the American producer is another section, exports of merchandise from the United States to foreign countries, from which may be ascertained those parts of the world in which our raw materials, foodstuffs and manufactures are successfully sold and those yet to be entered. Thus, while the iron and steel industry exports goods to every important country, with sales over $300,000,000 in value per annum, and the automobile industry is making each year a new high record, the cotton manufacturing industry exports less than $60,000,000 worth of its products each year, mostly to the nonmanufacturing countries of Asia and America. The distribution abroad of the less conspicuous articles of commerce is likewise indicated. Athletic and sporting goods, breakfast foods, aeroplanes, motion picture films, cement, chewing gum, confectionery and teeth are typical items chosen at random from the report, which also shows that we export large quantities of dynamos to England, of telephones to Canada, of optical instruments to Germany and France, of stoves and ranges to the Kongo and other tropical countries, and of ice to Canada. The aggregate value of articles imported is shown to have increased from $1,312,000,000 in 1909 to $1,813,000,000 in 1913, while the value of articles exported has increased from $1,638,000,000 to $2,429,000,000 in the same period. EGGS BY MAIL UNSCRAMBLED. Only Small Per Cent of Breakage In Recent Experiments. Washington—That eggs can be marketed successfully by parcel post is the conclusion reached by the department of agriculture as the result of extended experiments. It was demonstrated to the satisfaction of the department that this method of shipment frequently secured a better price for the producer and a fresher article for the consumer. The experiments, it is stated, further showed that the parcel post was of particular value to the man whose flock was too small or who lives too far from express service to permit him to ship his eggs in regular commercial cases. In the course of the experiments, which extended over a period of five months, the department shipped 9,131 eggs in 466 lots by mail from various points under varying conditions and in different types of containers. Or these 327, or slightly less than 3.6 per cent, were broken, but only 209, or a little less than 2.3 per cent, were absolutely wasted. The others, though broken, could still be used. The percentage of breakage will be greatly reduced. It is said, when postal employees become more accustomed to handling such fragile matter. Alive With Date "1821" on Shell. Newton, N. J. - Joseph Ewitt, Jr., a farmer of Walnut Corners, caught a turtle on his farm and on taking it to the house examined the shell and found on it the initials "J. E." and the date "1821". Ewitt said the initials are his grandfather's. His father caught the same turtle with the same initials in the same field many years ago, and he believers the reptile has not stirred out of the field in the last century. Czar's Daughter Tatiana Being Considered by Cainets. Dresden. Saxony.-King Frederick Augustus of Saxony, through his government, is discussing with the czar, through the cabinet in St. Petersburg, the possibility of an alliance between the former's eldest son, Crown Prince George, who was twenty-one last January, and Grand Duchess Tatiana, the czar's second daughter, who was seventeen this month. If the official preliminaries are satisfactory as far as the statesmen are concerned Prince George will go to Russia with his father to be presented to the pretty, tall, dark haired grand CROWN PRINCE GEORGE OF SAXONY. duchess. She has already had more than one such an offer for her hand. It is still believed at most of the European courts that the Prince of Wales has been very seriously considered as her future husband and that the subject is still under consideration by the English and Russian governments. It is needless to say that these young men and maidens are allowed to choose their future life partners only after the most lengthy and detailed negotiations by the respective governments, which take up the pros and cons of political benefits or embarrassments, as well as financial settlements by the bride and bridegroom's families, with necessary provisions for their heirs. BOY, AGED TWELVE, IS A QUADRUPED For Ten Years He Has Traveled on "All Fours." Birmingham, Ala.—A case of a possible reversion to type is that of Thomas Armstrong, a twelve-year-old boy of Bangor, Ala. Upon the death of his father he was thrown on the community and sent to the associated charities in Birmingham, then turned over to the juvenile court, which in turn transferred him to a leading physician. The medical profession here is using the boy as an anthropological study. Young Armstrong has never learned to walk erect, but goes on "all four". He is physically strong and can run as fast as the average boy. His body and limbs are normally formed and developed. His arms are slightly longer than normal, presumably as a result of use in all four walking. It has always seemed natural for him to walk that way. When he was a little child his mother died. His father married again, but did not live long, and the boy had to shift for himself. From habit and usage he can place his hands on the ground with his body in a horizontal position. He says his back and shoulders never get tired from long walks. The boy's mental development has been slow, but the physician who has him in charge believes that in six months he will be able to walk like other boys. He is being trained in that direction and has made some progress. He is gradually developing mentally as well. Physicians are studying the case with exceptional interest in the belief that valuable anthropological and medical information may be obtained from this treatment. For ten years the boy has traveled on all fours and can walk for miles that way and keep up with other boys. BEES GET SWEET REVENGE. Incidentally They Interfere With Traffic and Demoralize Business. Cincinnati. O.-Students at St. Xavier's college had a joyous time when they stirred up a colony of bees which had hived on a window of the institution, but the bees eventually had their revenge by stopping traffic and causing a number of shoe factories to suspend operations. When the bees went on the warpath they settled on a street car and drove motorman, conductor and passengers to places of refuge. Other bees few into shoe factories and stung the operatives so severely that there was a quick exodus. In all the bees suspended operations in one of the busiest districts of the city for half an hour. Suggests That This Body Have Supervision of All the Governmental Affairs—Would Replace Many Offices and Bureaus and Control All Features of Development In Territory. Washington. — In a report sent to Senator Key Pittman and Representative William C. Houston, chairmen of the senate and house committees on territories respectively, Secretary Lane of the interior department urges the creation of a development board to have complete control of the natural resources of Alaska. Bills for the creation of boards or commissions to administer the government of Alaska have been introduced in the senate by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon and in the house by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska. These bills differ only in detail, and the general purpose of both is in accord with the recommendation of Secretary Lane. The development plan urged by the secretary provides for a board of three members, appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate, which is to have headquarters in Alaska and is to be charged with the general conduct of all governmental affairs connected with the natural resources and development of the territory. "It is proposed and urged," says Mr. Lane, "that the board shall take over such authority now exercised by various departments and bureaus as may be necessary to give it supervision over practically the entire public domain and all the natural resources of Alaska and control of such activities as are closely related and essential to the development of the physical resources of the country. "The board would do the work now done in Alaska by the general land office, the forest service, the road commission, the bureau of mines, the bureau of education and the secretary of the interior. It should take over a part of the work and authority of the bureau of fisheries. Beginning at the shore line, the development board should have complete control of all governmental activities and interests connected with the development of industries and transportation and the settling of the country. "This should include the control of water powers, building and maintenance of roads and trails and operation and rates of the railroads and telegraph lines. It should include protection and control of game, fur bearing animals, public lands, mineral deposits, coal, oil, gas, hot springs, timber lands and timber." Secretary Lane also urges that this board should take over the supervision of educational work among the Indians and natives, the reindeer industry, control of the surveyor general's office and the supervision in co-operation with the department of agriculture of agricultural experiments and demonstration work in the territory. It is pointed out in the report that at present each of at least a score of Government bureaus in Washington divided among the various departments has something to do with the government of Alaska and that there is a vast amount of red tape and circumlocution in the administration of public affairs under this system. Instances are given in the report of delays of several years in the handling of uncomplicated land and other matters which should have been promptly disposed of. "There must be new and simple machinery," says Mr. Lane. "The new policy is not to invite a few men to exploit the cream of Alaska's riches, but to develop all the resources and possibilities of the territory harmoniously for the best interests of both the people who go to Alaska and the people of the United States who own this great public domain." Mr. Lane points out that there are now only 862 miles of wagon roads, 617 miles of sled roads and 2,162 miles of trails in the whole of Alaska, for the construction and maintenance of which about $2,600,000 has been spent. He urges that roads and trails are as essential to the opening of Alaska to settlement as railroads, and that these roads for several years to come must be built by the government. The reindeer industry, now monopolized by the natives. Mr. Lane looks upon as the beginning of a great industry which may have something to do with solving the meat supply problem of the United States. The secretary discusses at considerable length the cable and telegraph system in Alaska now operated by the signal corps of the war department and proposes that this should probably be managed by the development board. Coffin Ready, Kills Himself. Montgomery City, Mo.-Nicholas Detoul, the oldest merchant in Montgomery, had a carpenter here make for him a walnut coffin, which he kept under his counter. He took pleasure in showing the coffin to customers. Detoul tried to kill himself a number of times, saying he was too old. A widow survives since he shot and killed himself recently.

Baby Grasps Lecomotive Rod When Auto is Smashed. Portland, Ore.—A baby's inherited characteristic to grasp at a nearby object, much as the ape seizes a limb of a tree, probably saved the life of three-year-old Lois Frzender when an automobile in which she was seated was struck by a Southern Pacific train on a crossing near Clackamasa station. The child's leg was fractured. The auto was demolished. Mrs. Ruby L. Frazier of Portland, mother of the injured child, was driving the machine. In it just before the crash were Mr. and Mrs. James Linn of Lents, their two children, Florence, seven years old, and Ethel, five years old, and the baby. The machine came to a stop across the tracks. The older persons leaped out, and Mr. Linn lifted out the older children and was reaching for the baby when the impact came. As the mother screamed frantically the party looked among the ruins for the missing child, but in vain. Finally some one cried out that the child had been found. She was hanging for dear life to the brace rods which run from the boiler to the pilot bed. Apparently she had been thrown against the pilot and had grasped the rods intuitively. The child was brought to Portland and taken to Good Samaritan hospital. MONKEY CATCHES MEASLES. Romped With Human Chum Who Already Had Disease. Birmingham, Ala.-Pat, one of the big monkeys at the Avondale zoo here, has the measles. Pat's keeper has prescribed a dose of castor oil, and the monkey is expected to get well in a short time. Pat caught the measles from his friend, Jack Allen, a nephew of the keeper, Dayton Allen. Pat and the boy are great friends. The boy caught the measles and was confined to bed. Pat got lonesome and insisted on seeing his friend. He didn't show his insistence in the usual way, but Mr. Allen says he could not misinterpret the monkey's despondence and lack of appetite. He took the monkey to see the boy. As soon as Pat got in the door he broke away from the keeper, jumped on the bed and began to frolic with Jack. Two days later Pat was all broken out with the measles and very sick. Mr. Allen didn't confine the two friends to the same bed, but he did take Pat home for treatment and says the monkey is doing well. In Casket. Lincoln, Neb.-Every night in the year E. T. Hunger, former chief of police of Lincoln, sleeps in his coffin. The homemade box stands on the front porch of the Hunger residence, and at night, after the neighbors have gone to bed, "Old Man" Hunger goes out and climbs into the box. If the weather is cold or if a shower comes up he pulls the top of the coffin over the opening, leaves a crack through which he can get a little fresh air and calmly goes to sleep. Mr. Hunger is now seventy-six years old, and for many years he has been sleeping in his coffin. "And I made that coffin myself, too," he says proudly. "Costs too much to die in these days. I just thought I'd play a joke on the undertakers and make my own coffin while I was well enough to do it. So I got me some inch plank about a foot wide and several pieces of 2 by 4. I put the latter at each corner to make the box stable, and then I nailed it together with eight penny nails. Whole thing cost me less than $5, but it's strong enough to hold a man about my size without any trouble. And won't these undertakers be mad when I die and they can't get any of my money?" The Hunger home sits back from the street, and there are trees all around it. In the summer these trees shade the porch and the grewsome object cannot be seen plainly. But when winter strips the limbs and branches Mr. Hunger's homemade coffin can be seen by all passersby. For more than twenty years Mr. Hunger was a constable in Lincoln and is one of the best known men in the city. But the fact that he sleeps in his coffin every night is a fact known to few others than his neighbors and close friends. WALKED ACROSS CONTINENT. And These Two San Francisco Boys Made Money at It. Boston. Two San Francisco boys, Karl Woodside and Joseph Kelley, arrived at the home of Woodside's aunt in Brookline, Mass., after walking across the continent. They said they started on their trip Jan. 1 with only 5 cents. By singing, sawing wood, giving lectures and doing farm chores they worked their way to this city. When they arrived they had about $12 between them, were clad in new khaki uniforms and were each about twelve pounds heavier than when they started. They are nineteen years old. $2.40 PER YEAR: ARMY AVIATION TO BE PROMOTED Measure Appropriating $250,000 For Efficiency Has Been Passed by Houses and Held Up In Senate Until Trust Program is Completed—Provides For More Officers. Washington.—Aviation is at last being recognized by the United States army as the result of the Hay bill, which has already passed the house of representatives and been favorably reported to the senate by the committee on military affairs. This bill, backed by a $250,000 appropriation, gives the army signal corps, commanded by Brigader General George P. Scriven, an opportunity to go ahead with the work which has been planned in the past. At the present time the army aviation corps, which is under the direction of Colonel Samuel Reber, though a compact and essentially efficient body and capable of giving a maximum amount of service with a minimum of equipment, is infinitesimal as compared with the like organizations of other first class powers. In fact it is only through the bill of Congressman James Hay of Virginia that it has been given an official status in the aviation section of the signal corps. It is safe to say that from this beginning there will be results which will show exceptional efficiency for the money expended. The United States has nothing in the line of fighting apparatus for use in the air, with the exception of aeroplanes, not a single dirigible, balloon or other airship which might be used for offensive work. Its fleet of aeroplanes, which is divided into four sections, is located at Galveston, Tex.; San Diego, Cal., and in the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands, and used solely for scouting. This, however, is Photo by American Press Association. REPRESENTATIVE JAMES HAY OF VIRGINIA only the beginning and, as Colonel伯 expresses it, is like a baby taking its first exercise. "We must start by perfecting our scouting system, as a child first learns to crawl," he says. "After that he may take up walking, and before long will be fully prepared for running. In this case running meaning that we will have a full fleet of offensive airships." The aeroplane work during the present trouble with Mexico at Vera Cruz has been handled entirely by the aerohydropane force of the navy and has been essentially successful. The army force of aeroplanes, with the exception of those needed in Hawaii and the Philippines, has been kept on the border between Texas and Mexico, though mobilized and in such shape that on twenty minutes' notice they might be sent to any point. Under the Hay bill the aviation section will consist of not over sixty commissioned line officers with rank below that of captain, as well as 260 enlisted men. These shall be detailed for periods of four years. The officers, who will first go through a preparatory course as aviation students, will be selected on the recommendation of the chief signal officer from among the unmarried leutenants of the army who are not over thirty years of age. but they shall not be assigned to such service against their will. It is further provided, on account of the extremely hazardous character of the service, that each aviation student, when he shall commence to make flights, shall receive increased pay, and there is increased pay for the enlisted men too. After the passage of the Hay bill only officers and men who have passed an examination before a board composed of three officers of experience in aviation and two medical officers may be admitted to the aviation corps. At the present time the qualification for positions as military aviators are severe, as the applicant must not only be able to handle an aeroplane under any and all conditions, but must also have shown himself as especially efficient as a military observer.

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: "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 sadly needed. In the majority of the addresses delivered at Afro-American school commencements the speakers practically advise the graduates to become molly-coddles 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 molly-coddles on earth right now and it will be well for the race if no more are turned out by the schools. 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 ```markdown ``` 49 E. 4th Street, St. Paul, Minn. SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1914 SEGREGATING REPUBLICANS. 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. 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 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 JEWS DID IT The great wholesale drygoods house of H. B. Clafin & Co. has failed, and the Jews did it. Years ago A. T. Stewart the first great drygoods merchant prince of America, angered the Jews by refusing 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 Chafflin Company is really the reorganized Stewart business. For years Jewish merchants have been withdrawing their trade and when the pinch came Jewish bankers, remembering 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. Would that the Afro-American would lear to punish their enemies. THE FLAG FAKERS There was a great flag celebration on Flag Day at the Post Office Department Building in Washington. Secretary of State Bryan made a great speech and the assembled officials and clerks gave great whoops, sang patriotic songs and probably flatened themselves that they were really patriotic. Yet in that building every day the RACE PR I am convinced myself evil thing in this present justice; none at all. I 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. RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. —H. G. Wells in N. Y. Independent. Ella Wheeler Wilcox flag is dishonored. Postmaster General Burleson, probably the most prejudiced man in the Cabinet, issues discriminating orders, Alexander Stephens, 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 started some years ago. What, if forced? 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 TO A FINISH. INTERMARRIAGE OF RACES ALL RIGHT. Intermarriage of whites with Japanese, Hindus and other orientals was defended by Professor Franz Boas of Columbia University, a noted anthropologist, in one of the series of lectures which he is delivering at the summer session of the University of California. "All this feeling out here in California against the intermarriage of Americans and Japanese, as well as between whites and other oriental peoples, is simply foolish sentimentality, without the slightest biological foundation," Professor Boas said. "Practically all the population of Europe is the product of the most widely divergent racial intermixtures. Humanity, fundamentally, is very nearly identical the world over, no matter what may be the color or race." A ray of hope may now reach the hearts of the faithful Afro-American Democrats. Representative Smith of Maryland called on President Wilson a few days ago to urge the appointment of a white man as Recorder or Deeds, of the District of Columbia, now held by Henry Lincoln Johnson, or was held by him prior to July 1. It is understood he was to resign July 1. President Wilson told Representative Smith that soon after his inauguration he promised to appoint only Afro-Americans to positions held by Afro-Americans whenever changes were made and he intended to do so. This was not done in the case of minister to Hayti, the best position held by an Afro-American and a few other less important places, but we suppose like Rip Van Winkle, "we won't count those." We'll see what we will see. This is the glorious 4th of July, the anniversary of the day that the great Declaration of Independence was signed, which declares, "all men are born free and equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, etc., etc." There are 10,000,000 good, loyal citizens of this country, to the manor born, to whom that Declaration now means nothing, therefore they are not very much enthused over the glorious 4th. 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. I Upper, the Constellation; lower, the original "Star Spangled Banner," which saw at Fort McHenry (now in the National museum, Washington). This year sees the centennial celebration of the writ. of "The Star Spangled Banner," the national song, by Francis Scott Key. The anthem was inspired by the bombardment of Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, in September, 1814. Various celebrations, official and unofficial, have been planned, and the occasion will be remembered on the Fourth of July of this year. The government decided to repair and restore the historic frigate Constellation at a cost of $50,000, so that the vessel might be taken to Baltimore for exhibition in September during "The Star Spangled Banner" centennial at Fort McHenry and afterward stationed permanently in the Potomac river, near the Washington monument and the Lincoln memorial. The frigate has been stationed at the naval training station at Newport, R. I., and is the oldest vessel in the American navy. RAISING THE SCHOOLHOUSE FLAG A Fourth of July Poem Today the birthright of her hopes the younger nation sings As on the pinions of the light the banner lifts its wings. Today's future on us smiles and stu- dios. To set the flag above the school, our fortress wall of peace— And children marching for the states mid roses wined with dew. Behind ye thrice a hundred years, before a thousand grand, What are they wined with today, O children of the land? What are thy legends, O thou flag that gladdenest land and sea? What is that meaning in the air amid the jubilee? Flag of the sun that glows for all, Flag of the breeze that blows for all, Flag of the sea that flows for all, Flag of the school that stands for all, Flag of the people, one and all— The peaceful bugles blow and blow across the silver sea. What is that meaning in the air? Oh, banner, answer me! Oh, my America, whose flag we throne amid the sky, Beneath whose foils *tia life to live and noblest death to die, I hear the peaceful bugles blow across the silver sea And bless my God my palace stands a cottage home in thee! So speak the voices of the past, ye children of the land, Such is the hand that scrolls the air this day, of juiles. Flag of the sun that shines for all, Flag of the breeze that blows for all, Flag of the sea that flows for all, Flag of the school that stands for all, Flag of the people, one and all— all, all, all! Hail, glorious years to come! —Hezekiah Butterworth in Youth's Companion. Franklin's Suit of Clothes. Franklin's Suit of Clothes. Shortly before the outbreak of the Revolution Benjamin Franklin, then postmaster general for the American colonies, was in London trying to get fair treatment for the Americans. His petition was dismissed by the government as "groundless, scandalous and vexatious," and he lost his official post. On returning to his lodgings that night, says Lossing's "Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution." Franklin took off the suit of clothes he had worn and declared that he would never wear it again until he should sign the degradation of England and the independence of America. More than ten years later he donned the suit again when he signed the treaty of peace which freed the United States. Hawthorne Born July 4. Nathaniel Hawthorne, one of the greatest of American writers, whose work is distinctively American, was born on July 4, 1804. Silence is Infamous. Possibly the worst thing permitted to go on and work injury to Negroes, has been the silence of Negro speakers in the face of the infamous lies Ben. Tillman, Vardaman, Blease and others have been telling the North and West about Negroes raping white women. By all means they should have been rebuked and their statements proven lies, but as it is, both sections believe it. Shame on the intelligent men and women of our race who allow these base calumniators to slander us.-Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W. Va. "SANE" FOURTH GAINING. Fewer Lives and Limbs Now Lost In Day's Celebration. The celebration of the Fourth of July with fireworks, which in former years caused death or injury to an average of 4,000 persons a year, is becoming a memory. The day passed off last year with only 8 dead and 365 injured in the entire country. The sane Fourth movement has spread widely since last year, which showed a big reduction in casualties as compared with previous years. In Kansas alone fifty towns have passed ordinances forbidding the death dealing kind of celebration. The saving of life and limb in the larger cities is shown by the following comparison of casualties: 1913a 1918a Dead. Injured. Dead. Injured. Boston ..... 0 4 4 51 Chicago ..... 0 7 12 114 Cincinnati ..... 0 4 12 145 Cleveland ..... 0 10 62 Harrisburg ..... 2 2 30 Kansas City ..... 0 2 30 Los Angeles ..... 0 0 33 Milwaukee ..... 0 3 67 New York ..... 1 6 38 St. Louis ..... 0 4 1 133 Washington ..... 0 4 1 41 THE PATRIOTIC BUNNIES THE PATRIOTIC BUNNIES A We are patriotic bunnies.

The true rule of life is to praise everything good and knock and criticise everything bad and detrimental to public welfare. So here's to the fellow who criticises and knocks. He is the brave man of the community. He is the one that stands between the people and abject social, financial and political, servitudes; for he is a real man with an opinion and not afraid to express it.—Portland Advocate 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. 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, illsimmiling Negroes, and to prevent personal encounters between the whites and blacks. Members of the different races occupy the same cars, separated only by absurdly inadequate little brush wire screens, so tiny and light that a conductor can move them from one 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, which are 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 will be attacked if white and black passengers rode in public conveyances on equal grounds; therefore the Negro who rides in a white conveyance must do, not as of invoked right, but as with the white man's regulation. "This place you must 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. Evidences of Christianity 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 her eyes. The three murderers were arrested, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted. THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differentiation theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by 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 least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Why is it that all every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness 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. can hardly be that permission is within because theatres and baseball games are well attended by half the population that first-class seats could not be furnished in other half. As a matter of fact, the-treeliumators and baseball grandstands 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, it would 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; would be intolerable to the avenue. Southern man or woman to sit through a certain number of 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 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 inferior conspicuously upon them; they understand themselves, and everybody understands them, to be servants, enjoying certain privileges for the sake of the person they do. Almost 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. of Christianity 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. Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly 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 rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man a as the black." 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 AP-PEAL trusts that he will secure the nomination and be elected by a large majority. ce when we should wards out of men. as climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. e must speak and ight the wrongs of . . . .

After Years of Waiting and Wrangling and Working. For many years the people of St. Paul have been talking about building a hall and numerous projects have been started, all of which came to naught. But, now, it seems that a hall is in sight. For the past four months a committee of sixteen, composed of eight members of Mars Lodge, Odd Fellows and Perfect Ashlar Lodge, Masons, has been meeting weekly and working faithfully on the project and have got their plans so far perfected that they have incorporated themselves into the purpose of erecting a $15,000 building on Aurora between Mackubin and Kent streets. The final meeting for signing the building contracts will be held Monday night and the project will be fully launched. The officers of the Association are: S. E. Hall president; E. J. Murphy, vice president; C. H. Miller, secretary; R. M. Johnson, treasurer. The board of directors consists of S. E. Hall, chairman; E. J. Murphy, C. H. Miller, R. M. Johnson, W. T. Francis, Geo. L.

Myers, editor of the Carver Journal-Review, was instantly killed and Leona, the 7-year-old daughter of R. J. Neumsing, a hotel proprietor, was seriously injured. It seems that an automobile driven by a Minneapolis man and one driven by Than Travis, of St. Paul, got into a little speed contest, or, one tried to pass the other with the terrible result mentioned. Travis was arrested at Chaska, two miles from Carver, and is held pending an investigation. The other driver was not apprehended.

Miss Mathis' one regret is that she can't wield a bat and twirl the ball with the kids in the eighth grade league, of which she is head. She's too busy keeping the teams in running order. No smoking and no swearing are rules in the disciplinary code of this amateur league, both strictly regarded. WOODEN LEG BROKEN. SUES. Washington Broker Wants $25,000 Damages For Singular Mishap. Washington.—A wooden leg, broken in a street car accident, and a number of hurts and bruises are valued at $25,000 in a suit instituted in the district supreme court by Eustace Lee Noble, a general agent and broker, against the Washington Railway and Electric company. In his declaration Noble says one of the company's cars, on which he was a passenger, became derailed at Four and a Half street southwest, and his wooden leg was broken and rendered of no further use to him. The leg, he says, cost him $200. Noble further complains that he was thrown against the seat in front of him and that he suffered severe bruises. He spent $200 for a new leg, he says, and $600 for medical attention. INOCULATED RABBITS GONE Animals Carrying Deadly Virus Stolen From French Laboratory. Marseilles.—Rabbits which had been inoculated with the virus of rabies, tuberculosis, typhoid and other deadly diseases were stolen recently from the laboratory of a bacteriologist in the suburbs of Marseilles.

The police are making every effort to recover the animals before they are sold or eaten, but so far have found no trace of them. HAS PLAN TO SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM HAS PLAN TO SOLVE FARM LABOR PROBLEM Michigan Man Taking Census to Aid In Colonization. Lansing, Mich.—Labor Commissioner James Cunningham has started what he thinks will result in the taking of a complete census of Michigan farm hands. He is sending out blanks to every supervisor with the request that they be filled out and returned. The blanks ask for the number of farm hands employed by the month, the average number of months they are employed, the average monthly wages, the number of farms operated by tenants and whether or not there is a scarcity of farm help in the district. Some of the supervisors close to Lansing have already answered. "We hope if possible to get some data by which we may be able to start a sort of colonization system which may eventually relieve the farm labor market. "So far we have found that day farm labor is what is scarce. On the other hand, we have reports from some sections which show that there are many farms—large ones—which are only partially cultivated. "Our plan is to have the owners of those large farms cut them up into small parts and put on them Hungarians and other foreigners who are natural born farmers. Give them space enough to live on and raise enough for their own needs and at the same time guarantee them a certain amount of day work in the vicinity. We think in this way we can relieve the problem of day farm labor." Mr. Cunningham has received the cooperation of fifty-three county clerks in his plans to have them act as agents for a free employment bureau at their respective county seats. LOSES FIRST BATHTUB. Relic of the Old Days of Seventy-three Sent to the Scrap Heap. Lorain, O.-Lorain's first bathtub has been dismantled.
