Yours responsibly.

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.

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."
THE APEPEAL concurs in the above and calls upon the candidates for Congress in Minnesota to publicify state Please state
1st. Will you, if elected, seek to prevail upon the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General to abolish such segregation of Colored employees as has been instituted under us as to restroom, eating, working and so on.
20d. Will you use your influence, voice and vote against bills to segregate Colored clerks and to establish Jim-Crow cars in the District of Columbia. 3rd. Will you use your influence, voice and vote against bills making it a crime for Colored and non-Colored persons to marry in the District of Columbia? 4th. Will you favor the enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments now notoriously nullified in certain states?
KEEP UP FIGHT ON FEDERAL
SEGREGATION.
"We advise that another delegation be sent to Pres. Wilson to ascertain whether he will eliminate Federal Segregation — From the address to the Equal Rights League at the seventh annual meeting in New York City.
A committee consisting of Pres. 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. Y., W. M. Trotter, 49 Cornhill, Boston, Mass., or Treasa, Thea Walker, 506 5th Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.

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? The Afro-American must learn never to give up the fight against injustice.

JUST BUNK. PLAIN BUNK.
One of the biggest lies ever printed
is going the rounds of the Afro-Ameri-
can press. It is to the effect that the
Jews have never fought prejudice, but
have succeeded by allowing them-
selves to be kicked and booted about
without protest, being too busy annex-
ing the Almighty Dollar to be dis
turbed 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 thelr power against
their enemies. Because A. T. Stewart,
once merchant prince and-owner of
the Grand Hotel at Saratoga Springs,
N. Y., refused to accomodate Jews at
his hotel, they ruined his dry goods
dusiness, 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 |
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.

RACE PREJUDICE. e
I am convinced myself that there is no more
evil thing in this present world than Race Pre-
judice; 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 persecu-
tion and all the darkest poisons of the human
soul.

very soul, that all he has to do toward
righting his wrongs, is to wait until
the Lord himself shall see fit to come
down and right them. The idea o
peaceably assembling and making in
telligent and persistent protest against
outrage and wrong seems foreign tc
him. “Or, should he start an agitatior
and is rebuffed at the start, he loses
heart, abandons the effort and gives ut
like a disappointed child.
It is the agitation of the waters o
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, whict
gives us the power of motion and lire
and it is the agitation of thoughts an¢
ideas which prevents brain stagnatior
and mental death, When a people lose
that interest in themselves, to tha
extent that they stand supinely by
quietly submitting to wrong, withou
protest, they have reached the dange1
point in race progress development.
A VAST DIFFERENCE, BROTHER
MOORE.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
New York Age, asks: “What is the
Gifference between segregating col-
ored 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 employe Afro-American me-
chanics, 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 en-
tirely different. The Afro-Americans
are citizens and as citizens they have
the right to demand identical treat-
ment other citizens receive. They do
not, however, always get it, Afro-
Americans who have won their places
by civil service tests, have been de-
moted or discharged without cause ex-
cept the color of their skins and in
several of the departments Afro-Amer-
ican clerks have been segregated from
their fellows as if they were lepers.
That is a stigma which the Govern-
ment has no right to place upon hon-
est, 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 Ramsey County, viz.: E. W. Bazille
Probate Judge; R. D. O'Brien County
Attorney; M. 'W. Fitzgerald, Regis
ter of Deeds and W. J. Bazille, Ab-
stract Clerk. They have no opponents
and can elect themselves by each one
voting for himself.

-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. Hat.
ton, son of Mrs, Cherry Hatton of 296
St. Albans street, and Miss Mabelle
Moffitt, daughter of Mrs. Annie. Mof-
fitt, of 126 Arch street, took place on
Tuesday evening, Oct. 6, at 7:30
o'clock, at the Parish House of St. Pe-
ter Claver church, Rev. Father S. L,
Theobald officiating.
The bride entered with and on the
arm of the groom. She wore a beau-
tiful gown of pink charmeuse satin,
@ tunic and bodice of Viennese lace
with a garniture of Hungarian beads
and seed pearls, with a yoke of pleated
chiffon, and a deep girdle of pink char-
meuse. Her head dress consisted of
Hungarian beads and seed pearls made
into a wide band, 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 pi
ano and fendered 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
Tobie served punch.

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 1s 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 dbject the separation of
the races in trains, street cars, ete., to
save the white people from occasional
contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmell-
ing Negroes, hd to prevent personal
encounters between the whites and
Dlacks. 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
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 Yront 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 {t 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 in a public conveyance
must do so, not as of undoubted right,
put as with the white man’s regula-
fon. “This place you may occupy,
hat other you may not, because | am_
and you are you, lest to you or to me
t should be obscured that 1am | and
jou are you.” Such {s the real spirit |
f the Jim Crow laws. ;

Surrendered Rights Never Regained,
(Martinsburg Pioneer Press.)
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
Our early life was spent in the schoois
of Chicago, never sitting by the side
of children of darker color. Leaving
that city and going south’ to teach,
about ten years later we returned to
Chicago and going to the Appellate
Court, found our class and seat 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 Jot
jand I are going to paint the old town
red today.” He got his bugey and
took us over all of our prank grouna-
and O! what a time we had that day
One of the old teachers threw her
arms around us, and many of the then
boys were then men in various. kinds
of business and all greeted us, and
‘Mrs, Curtin, one of the noblest and
sweetest women Chicago ever owned,
and for whom the whole vity mourned
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
first-class seats at the theatre and the
baseball game, were 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-
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 rea-
son why ‘this is not done, is perfectly
obvious; it would be intolerable to the
average Southern man or woman to
sit through the hours of 2 theatrical
perfofmance 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; thelr place, signifying
their status, 1s the peanut-gallery, or
the bleachers,
Cénsider further that, while no Ne-
gro, no matter what his occupation, or
personal refinement, or intellectual
culture, or moral character, is allowed
(o trave in a pullman car between
state Iines, 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-
em is laid bare. The black nurse with
white baby in her arms, the black
ralet looking after the comfort of a
white invalid, have the label of their
nferiority conspicuously upon them;
hey understand themselves, and
wverybody understand them, to be ser-
ants, enjoying certain privileges for
he sake of the person served. Almost
nything the Negro may do in the
south, and anywhere he may go, pro-
ided the manner of his doing and his
joing is that of an inferior, Such is.|

Information of great interest tc
farmers is shown in statistics now be-
ing gathered on the industries of
Minnesota by one of the newspapers
in this city. “One prewery in this city
alone uses annually 500,000 bushels o
the best grade barley. Considering
the fact that there are 65 brewerfes in
the state, and that the best. barley
is used for malting purposes, to the
extent of 2,400,000 bushels annually
‘more than $1,500,000 is paid to Minne
sota farmers every year by the brew
eries alone.
‘The National Medical Association
at its last convention, set aside Octo
der 25th to be observed by Afro-Amer
Jean Physicians as a Health Day. It
was suggested that the ministers be
asked to say something in their serv:
fees at some time during that day
concerning the health of the people
and the men in the profession, Prest
dent F. 8. Hargrave has just issuea a
proclamation to that effect. In accord:
ance with this Dr. Valdo ‘Turner has
arranged a program at Pilgrim Baptist
Church for Sunday evening, October
%5, 1914, at which all the physicians
and dentists of the Twin Cities wil
have something to say.
‘The concert which was ‘given by
W, C. Buckner's Dixie Jubilee Concert
Co. at Memorial Baptist Church last
Monday evening was one of the most
delightful musical treats the people of
St. Paul have enjoyed lately. The
company is composed of four males
and two females, but each and every.
one is an artist and everyone present
got his money's worth although the
admission was 50 cents. The church
‘was well filled despite the inclement
weather and was both an artistic and
financial success. ‘The committee en
titled to the credit of this rare enter
tainment comprises Messrs. D. A. Har
ris, B. R. Durant, J. H. Hickman, Jr

‘many social functions given in honor

of: Grape fruit with marischinc

He has always taken a lively interest
in politics and has made good in every

elected four years ago he promised to
distribute the patronage of his office
80 as to recognize all nationalities and
so far as the Afro-Americans are con-
cerned he has recognized them. Mrs.

Non-Partisan Candidate for Judge of District Court, Minneapolis.
"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. Steele; Jurist, and—by the grace of God, GENTLEMAN!

"I believe in county option and that the people of any governmental unit should have the legal machinery provided for the expression of thir will upon thir liquor question. In addition, building a county option law, I believe in further reducing the power of the brewery in politics and curbing the sinister influence of the liquor traffic by preventing brewery ownership of saloons or buildings occupied. by saloons, by enforcement of laws prohibiting the sale of beer or liquor to any but legally licensed distillers, thus doing away with blind pigs and other illicit places whose existence depends upon the illegal sale of liquor, and by such other legislation as may be necessary to destroy the power of the liquor traffic."
