EFFECT: The Constitution requires the treasurer to publish, yearly a detailed statement of the moneys drawn from the treasury during "he preceding year, giving the names of the persons to whom paid and the purposes for which it was expended. It also requires a like statement of the names of the persons, and the sources, as to money received, and in both cases a statement of the law under which payments were made, or money paid into the treasury. The effect of this amendment, if the same be adopted, will be to repeal the section of the Constitution mentioned and insofar relieve the treasurer from such publication and the State from the expense thereof. This change in the Constitution, however, would not prevent the Legislature from directing by law that such, or a different publication, of the same or other information, should be made by the treasurer. FIFTH PROPOSED AMENDMENT and substitute therefor the following Section 6.

Yours responsibly. LYNNON A. SMITH, Attorney General. Dear Sir: Referring to proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 4 would say: An state expert printer I have given the publications involved in this proposed amendment, and am of opinion both these publications truly superfluous. The extensive annual publication "in a daily newspaper published at the capital city" attracts absolutely no attention. The annual report published in book form, and to an extent makes it easy for every person specially concerned to secure a copy. To conform strictly with the law as it is at present, means the expenditure, under conditions of approximately $8,000, which can be used to excellent advantage under conditions which ordinarily suggest the greatest cure and economy upon the part of those under whose direction the printing facility is located. You're respectfully, J. T. MANNIN, State Expert Printer. $2.40 PER YEAR: FIND OUT HOW THEY STAND Afro-American Voters Should Learn From Congressmen How They Stimulate the Segregation, and Jim Crow Bills Before Voting For Them. At the Seventh Annual Meeting of the National Independent Black Rights League, held in New York City, Sept. 7, 1914, in the address to the Country, this was said: "We advise Colored voters to look into the records of every Congressman up for re-election, to make an issue of the color segregation practiced in the police officers and encouched in bills already introduced into Congress. Find out where each candidate stands on these anti-Negro bills and the anti-intermarriage bill and act accordingly."

Brayton Gunner, National Organizer R. C. Ransom, Corresponding Secretary W. J. Johnson and the Honorable almer was appointed to raise funds for expense of the delegation to Washington. This committee desires to have the hearing early in October. It may take two trips to secure the audience. The audience all over the country are urged to attend to Pres. Byron Gunner, Hilburn, N.

Short Walk from Freeman to Serf. (Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va.) It seems to us that agitation is needed and that some well directed effort on the part of the Colored people themselves should be made to check this pale of oppression which the country. With the illumination our political rights has come the interference with our property rights and from freeman to serf is but a short distance. Colored men must stand for their rights, and they should not depend upon others to stand up for them. While the women are contending for the right of suffrage, let the Colored men content for the same thing, and against us is accomplishment our rule. We have never believed that the Colored eschew politics. This was the commencement of our undoing and the sooner we get back on the political road again, the better. All the women are controlled and curtailed by political forces, and to be used in our favor, just a few white people have used it against us. The Power of the Press. (Louisville, News.) Charges of crime, accounts of rols, lynchings, etc., as published in white papers have later been proven false. The charges would have yet your Colorized reader would believe, your own father a criminal without further proof than that "the paper said so." Ought to Read the Bible. (Chicago Defender.) The Lower Branch of the State Legislature of South Carolina passed a bill prohibiting white people from teaching us anything except the Bible. Now if they will only pass a law making it compulsory for the white people can the Bible, they might gain something as absorption and we wouldn't be the sufferers after all. There are some things that even South Carolinaans could read with profit. For instance, "Thou shalt not kill." Defective Page Is it not about time to start another petition to President Wilson asking him to stop segregation in the departments?

PLAIN BUNK One of the biggest lies ever printed is going the rounds of the Afro-American press. It is to the effect that the Jews have never fought prejudice, but have succeeded by allowing themselves to be kicked and booted about without protest, being too busy annexing the Almighty Dollar to be disturbed by prejudice. In the language of the street, that is bunk, just bunk. As a matter of fact, the Jews are continually fighting prejudice in every way possible, quietly and openly. They have strong organizations and do not hesitate to use their power against their enemies. Because A. T. Stewart, once merchant prince and owner of the Grand Hotel at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., refused to accommodate Jews at his hotel, they ruined his dry goods business. That was forty years ago. Not satisfied with that, they visited their wrath upon his successors, H. B. Claflin & Co., recently and put the firm out of business. It required forty years to complete the job, but they never allowed the thought, "we can't do it," to enter their minds. THEY DID IT. Numbers of hotel proprietors have been financially ruined because they dared to discriminate against the Jews. The Jews also recognize the power of public opinion so they have formed a national organization to fight a single thing—misrepresentation of the Hebrew people on the stage and it is their policy to put out of business any theater manager who permits actors to offensively assail or burlesque the Jews. There are other organizations to fight specific abuses. One organization looks after the schools and protests against Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice as supplementary reading in the public schools, on account of the hideous portrayal of the character of Shylock, the Jew. Other organizations look after other abuses. When a poor Jew, in Russia, Mendel Bellis, was charged with ritual mur- [Picture of a man with a full beard and mustache, wearing a dark suit and a white shirt. He is facing slightly to the right, with his head turned slightly to the left.] HON. FREDERICK C. STEVENS der, the Hebrews all over the world held public meetings and protested. The Russian autocracy had fully determined to convict the innocent man, but in every civilized country of the world the voice of protest went up and so loud was that voice, that even brutal, barbarous Russia heard and the innocent Jew was acquitted. There is no doubt that wealth is a powerful factor in fighting prejudice and the Jews use it, but they also appeal to the moral sense of the world. The Afro-American people should accumulate all the wealth they can by honest industry in every line of human endeavor, but they must also fight prejudice as they go along the road to wealth and fight every attempt to steal away their civil rights, in order that they may protect and enjoy their wealth when they have acquired it.

A'S" Those who are disposed to deny the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and help along race prejudice, by advocating the establishment of separate Young Men's Christian Associations, should read and ponder over the following letter from a white minister to Editor Harry S. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, and published in his paper, the Cleveland Gazette: · Madison, N. J. Sept. 24, 1914. Editor Gazette. Dear Sir:—You voice the sentiments of my soul and spirit—why should Christian America defy the "color-line" and rank it high among the fundamentals of orthodox religion? the common fatherhood of God (acknowledged by "The Church in America") implying, all believers, the common brotherhood of "all men in Jesus Christ."—2 Cor. 5:7; Col. 3:9-11; Eph. 2:10-19. I have fought in Virginia (Norfolk), Maryland (Baltimore), and New Jersey the pernicious practice of the Young Men's Christian Association in "drawing the color-line" and using it as an asset. I do not exactly understand Mr. Julius Rosenwald's motive in donating $25,000 to encourage the building of Colored Y. M. C. A.'s in (and vice versa) do you? Every one in (and vice versa) maintains only accentuates and makes more bitter the "color prejudice!" or it is not the filthy, foul-mouthed, snail-smelling, whisky-drinking Negro core-loafer or bar-room bummer they hate or preciate so much as the honest, intelligent, self-respecting and capable Afro-American whose domination and social equality proclivities they fear, because they recognize in him not only a civic equal in embryo, but actually a moral superior on mentality!! Why should the National Y. M. C. A. recognize, legalize and perpetuate the "color-line?" There is none in sin, there is none in sickness, nor poverty, neither in hell nor heaven!! When, in so doing, they cater to popular prejudice, they dishonor Christ (see Matt. 23:1-4, 8-11), they degrade religion and condemn their own National organization as a huge hypocritical conspiracy forged to bolster up an inhuman lie—the sublimity equality of all men. I wish you every blessing with success. Fraternally yours, (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent. "THE POWER OF AGITATION." THE APPEAL is always pleased to read in the columns of its Southern Afro-American contemporaries editorials which may serve to inspire the race to always protest against wrong. 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. In the article which follows, Mrs. Maggie Walker, the banker editor of St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Virginia, truly says, "When the spirit and power of agitation die among a people, they are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption." THE POWER OF AGITATION. The greatest power on earth for the righting of wrongs, is the power of agitation. When the power of agitation die among a people, they are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption. So important is the power, that it is guaranteed to the people through the mandates of the Constitution of the United States. The colored man is not an agitator, nor has he ever been. It has dinned into his ears until it has reached his very soul, that all he has to do toward righting his wrongs, is to wait until the Lord himself shall see fit to come right to them, he the idea of peaceably abstain and make in intelligent and persistent protest against outrage and wrong seems foreign to him. Or, should he start an agitation and is rebuffed at the start, he loses heart, abandons the effort and gives up like a disappointed child. It is the agitation of the waters of the sea, which prevents stagnation and death. It is the agitation of the air which gives pure air to breathe. It is the agitation of the blood, which gives us the power of motion and life, and it is the agitation of thoughts and emotions and mental death. When a people lose that interest in themselves, to that extent that they stand supinely by quietly submitting to wrong, without protest, they have reached the danger point in race progress development. A VAST DIFFERENCE, BROTHER MOORE. Our esteemed contemporary, the New York Age, asks: "What is the difference between segregating colored people in offices at Washington and segregating them every day in the year right at our own doors in the ordinary vocations of life?" THE APPEAL believes that there is a vast difference. Refusal of white people to employ Afro-American mechanics, clerks, stenographers and others is in every case the action of individuals and however unfair it may seem, the individuals have the right to employ whom they please. The case of the government is entirely different. The Afro-Americans are citizens and as citizens they have the right to demand identical treatment other citizens receive. They do not, however, always get it. Afro-Americans who have won their places by civil service tests, have been demoted or discharged without cause except the color of their skins and in several of the departments Afro-American clerks have been segregated from their fellows as if they were lepers. That is a stigma which the Government has no right to place upon honest, intelligent, efficient, industrious and patriotic citizens. There is a vast difference between the acts of individuals and those of the Government of which the Afro-American is a part, which he is taxed to support and which he defends with his life in time of war. --- There are four fortunate candidates in Ramsay County, viz.: E.

HATTON-MOFFITT TIS NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE, SAYS THE BIBLE. So, Mr. Edward A. Hatton and Miss Mabelle Moffitt Decided to Follow the Biblical Injunction and Become Husband and Wife. The wedding of Mr. Edward A. Hatton, son of Mrs. Cherry Hatton of 296 St. Albans street, and Miss Mabelle Moffitt, daughter of Mrs. Annie Moffitt, of 126 Arch street, took place on Tuesday evening, Oct. 6, at 7:30 o'clock, at the Parish House of St. Peter Claver church. Rev. Father S. L. Theobald officiating. The bride entered with and on the arm of the groom. She wore a beautiful gown of pink charmeuse satin, a tunic and bodice of Viennese lace with a garniture of Hungarian beads and seed pearls, with a wake of pleated chiffon, and a deep girdle of pink charmeuse. Her head dress consisted of Hungarian beads and seed pearls made in the head, and she carried a large bouquet of pink rosebuds and maiden hair fern. Following the ceremony, there was a reception at the home of the bride's mother. The decorations throughout the house consisted of palms, ferns, autumn flowers and leaves. During the course of the evening, Mrs. J. M. Hatton presided at the piano and rendered a choice selection of music. Mrs. Addie May Crawford-Minor sang "The Twilight," as only she can, Mrs. Quitman Hicks sweetly sang, "To Have, To Hold, To Love." After offering congratulations and Wishing happiness to the newly made benedicts, the guests, which numbered one hundred and fifty during the course of the evening, were served with refreshments in the dining room where Mesdames Estella Green and Hazel Jones presided. Miss Rosamond Toble served punch. The list of presents is as follows: Cut glass berry bowl and plateau, Frederick Douglass Lodge No. 9005, G. U. O. of O. F. Chest of table silver, employs of W. J.

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, illselling 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 open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and light that a conductor can move them from one seat to another with the same little finger. Needless to add, these would 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 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 would be attacked if white and black passengers rode in public conveyances on equal terms; therefore the Negro must do so, not as of undoubted right, but as with the white man's regulation. "This place, man, man, man, that other you may not, because 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.

Editor Dabney, of the Cincinnati, Ohio Union, like Hon. H. C. Smith of the old reliable Gazette of Cleveland, is up in arms against sprouting caste in his city. Right you are, that rights surrendered are seldom regained. Your contention that a few teachers' salaries amount to nothing compared to the cowardlessness of the men and women mixed schools give us is true. Owen the man was spent in the schools of Chicago, writing by the side of children of darker skin, leaving that city and going south, to teach about ten years later we returned Chicago and going to the Appellate Court, found our class and mate, Mr. Frank Lane, head clerk over more than a hundred clerks. We embraced each other and before all of the clerks he wept with joy and said to his fir' assistant: "Take my place, for Joi and I are going to paint the old town red today." He got his buggy and took us over all of our prank ground. O! what a time we had that day. One of the old teachers threw her uss, and many of the then boys were there in various kinds of business and all greeted us, and Mrs. Curtin, one of the noble sweetest women Chicago ever mowed, by order of authority, wept, and greeted us as a mother would her long gone and returned son. Mix the schools, for there is no color in heaven. Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness a dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a first-class seat? In every large city, there are hundreds of Negroes who would gladly pay for the seats at the theatre and the baseball games at the stadium. It can hardly be that permission is withheld because the theatres and baseball 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, thee tre-auditoriums 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 screen in a street-car, would it be to set apart a certain number of seats in the dress-circle of every theatre and in the grandstand of every base ball park, for Negro patrons. The reason why this is not done, is perfectly obvious; it would be intolerable to the average Southern man or woman to perform the hours of a theatrical performance or a baseball game on terms of equal accommodation with Negroes, even with a screen of between Negroes would look out of place out of status, in the dress circle or 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 valet looking after the comfort of a white invalid, have the label of their infidelity, have the label of them; they understand themselves, and everybody understand them, to beavants, enjoying certain privileges for the sake of the person served. 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. [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. HON. GEORGE R.

There has been no well grounded complaint against his conduct of the office in which he has kept the records in 150,000 cases. There are 790 cases for the present October term. He is highly commended by the Ramsey County Bar Association and its members ought to know. One good term deserves another. He solicits your support. PAID ADVERTISEMENT Prepared by J. Q.

Jean Martin Brown Home It will be remembered that some years ago the Afro-Americans furnished and fitted up the largest and nicest room in this institution at a cost of several hundreds of dollars.

It can readily be seen that Minneapolis has given more towards this work than St. Paul. So it is felt that the St. Paul team will make up the amount necessary for the purchase of a suitable rug. This is "our room" and it is up to us to see that it is well kept. SAFE DEPOSIT AND STORAGE VAULTS—We invite your inspection.

"A judge is not placed in that high position merely as a passive instrument of parties. He has a duty of his own independent of them, and that duty is to investigate the truth."—Edmund Burke, Judge Steele ACTUALLY LIVES UP TO THAT! The necessary qualifications of a judge are, "To hear courteously, to answer wisely, to consider soberly, and to decide impartially." Judge Steele is possessed of all of the above mentioned qualifications; and more, he is a REAL GENTLEMAN! It is almost unnecessary to draw the attention of the voters to the candidacy of Judge John H. Steele for election to the District Bench, which position he has held since January, 1911. His integrity in unquestioned. His record speaks for itself. He is 58 years old; was admitted to practice law in Illinois in 1883, but in 1884 came to Minneapolis where he has continually practiced law with the exception of the four years that he popularity among, among, lessors was shown by the exceptionally large vote he received at the primary election leading the ticket by a large majority. He has always taken an active interest in all public questions. In deciding any question before him, "justice tempered with mercy" has always been his motto. He not only appreciates your vote; he deserves it! And, he will continue to deserve both your friend and your respect. He is your friend, my friend! OUR FRIEND. Vote for John H.
