EFFECT: The Constitution requires the treasurer to publish yearly a detailed statement of the money drawn from the treasury during the 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 whom, and in both cases a statement of the law and the payments were made, or money paid to the treasury. The effect of this amendment, if the same be adopted, will be to repent the section of the Constitution mentioned and insofar relieve the treasurer from such publication and the State from the expense thereof.

EFFECT: The present Constitution authorizes the investment of the new manent school and university funds of this State in the bonds of any county, school district, city, town or village of this State. This amendment, if adopted in this State, would allow the foregoing investments, said the severity funds to be invested also in first mortgage loans secured upon improved and cultivated farm lands of this State. The present Constitution has had no investment shall be made for fourteen period than twenty years, while the previous period extends the period to thirty years.

It is proposed to create a fund out of which owners of domestic animals may be reimbursed for loss sustained by reason of injuries caused by dogs. Yours respectfully, LYNDON A. SMITH. Attorney General. St. Paul, May 6, 1914. Mr. Jelena A. Shuhbali. Secretary of SAFE. 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 special thought, and am of opinion both these publications are entirely superfluous. The extensive annual publication "in a daily newspaper published at the capital city" attracts absolutely no attention. The annual report of the state treasurer is published in book form, and to an extent that makes it easy for every person specially interested in the subject to conform strictly with the law in it present, means the expenditure, under reasonably favorable printing contracts, of approximately $8,000, a sum which can be used to excellent advantage under conditions which ordinarily suggest the greatest exe and economy upon the part of those under whose direction the printing fund is expended. Yours respectfully, J. T. MANNIX, State Expert Printer. FIND OUT HOW THEY STAND Afro-American Voters Should Learn From Congressmen How They Stand on Segregation, and Jim Crow Bills Before Voting For Them. At the Seventh Annual Meeting of the National Independent Equal 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 by certain cabinet 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 APPEAL concludes in the above and calls upon the candidates for Congress in Minnesota to publicly state their attitude. Please state. 1st. Will you, if elected, seek to prevail upon the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General abolish such segregation of Colored government employees as has been instituted under them as to rest-room, eating, working and toilet facilities? 2nd. Will you be 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 country of the National Independent Equal Rights League at, the seventh annual meeting in New York City. A committee consisting of Pres. Byron Gunner, National Organizer R. C. Ransom, Corresponding Secretary W. M. Trotter, Recordings Secretary J. M. Johnson and Treas. Thomas Walker was appointed to raise funds for the 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. Hence, citizens all over the country are urged to send donations to Pres. Byron Gunner, Hilburn, N. Y., to Sec. M. Trotter, 49 Cornhill, Boston, M. Treas., Thomas Walker, 506 5th Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Toilet segregation of the most insulting kind still exists in the treasury and post office departments at Washington. FUND STARTED. J. Q.

The delegates represent but little unless by and at the expense of the Colored people of the country. Mall the money at once and generously. This is an endeavor for all and must be made before election day. Short Walk from Freeman to Serf (Richmond Planet, 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 has now settled down all over the country. With the elimination of our political rights has come the interference with our property rights and from freeman to serif is but a short walk in distance. Colored men must stand up 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 contend for the same thing. Political "pull" against us is accomplishing our ruin. We have never believed that the Colored people should eschew politics. This was the commencement of our undoing and the sooner we get back on the political road again, the better. Rights are controlled and curtailed by politics. This is the lever to be used in our favor, just as the white peoples have used it against us. The Power of the Press (Louisville News.) Charges of crime, accounts of riots, lynchings, etc., as published in white papers have later been proven false and undled and yet your Colored leader has been the own father of 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 to read the Bible, they might gain power by absorption and we wouldn't be the sufferers after all. There are some theaters the Bible that even South Carolina could read with profit. For instance, "Thou shalt not kill." HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL? PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY J. Q.

Some of the Colored people of Boston are protesting to the editor of a daily paper there against the use of the word "negress" when referring to Colored women. The justice of the protest must be apparent to every man and woman of color. There is no more obnoxious word, no word more insulting than is the reason for its use. And yet what real opposition for its use can Colored people man when a great man refers to them as "Negroes?" "Negroes" is no more a suitable name for the Colored people of this country than "dago" is for Italian or "Sheeny" is for the Jew. And to capitalize it gives it no more dignity nor respect than to not do so. This paper referred recently to the power of the White press over its Colored readers. That power is not more plainly shown in that the persistent use of the word "negro" by it has canceled the most eloquent use of thought to adopt the word. This having been accomplished the White press is now beginning to use the most offensive term "negress" as descriptive of Colored woman. Colored people should avoid the use of the word "negro" wherever possible. It has been used in such a manner by the White press as to throw it into disrepute. But if we, ourselves, use the word for Colored men, logically we can not object to "negress" for the word for Negro writers on this paper never use either word and when "negro" appears in these columns it is used by others. The very etymology of the word shows it is not a proper noun and hence can not be used as the name of a people. And, whenever it is used by prominent Colored people they are either consciously or unconsciouslykowtowing to the Whites, whether they call themselves the Negro Business League or the recently formed Negro Fraternal Congress. THE APPEAL heartily approves the above excerpt from the Louisville, (Ky.) News. The colored people who use the word "Negro" in describing themselves are making a terrible mistake. They may mean well but they are certainly misguided. The word "Negro" ought to have died with slavery. When the former slaves were liberated they were no longer "Negroes" but Americans and they ought to be proud of their American citizenship and endeavor to make PAID ADVERTISEMENT ens by P. K.

FREDERICK Republican Congressman for sota and Candidacy THE FRIEND C 195 HON. FREDERICK C. STEVENS Republican Congressman for Fourth District of Minnesota and Candidate for Re-election. THE FRIEND OF OUR PEOPLE. it a reality and not try to put them selfes into a pariah class. There is nothing more ridiculous than a yellow man or a near-white man yelling himself hoarse about being a "Negro." He is stating a false hood. An American black man ought not be called a "Negro" but an American. "Negro" and "Negress" as used by Caucasians in the United States are terms of derision and carry with them the sense of scorn, mockery, contempt and ridicule. The use of "Negro" and "Negress" aid in the differentiation of the colored man from other Americans. It helps discrimination, makes for injustice and leads to segregation. "AS TO 'JIMCROW' Y. M. C. A'S." Those who are disposed to deny the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and help along race predjudice, 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 deify the "color-line" and rank it higher than the fundamentals of orthodox religion? The common fatherhood of God (acknowledged by "The Church in America") implies, to 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 America—do you? Every one built (and successfully maintained) only accentuates and makes more bitter the "color prejudice"? For it is not the filthy, foul-mouthed, evil-smelling, whisky-drinking Negro corner-loafer or bar-room bummer they hate and deprecate in self-rejecting and hostile self-rejecting 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 nonular prejudice, they dishonor Christ (see Matt. 23:1-4, 8-11), they degrade religion and condemn their own Nazism organization on their own huge hypocritical conspiracy forged to bolster an inhuman lie—the sublime equality of all men. I wish you every blessing with success. Fraternally yours. (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent 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.

STEVENS for Fourth District of Minne- ate for Re-election. OF OUR PEOPLE. 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 spirit and power of agitation die among a people, they are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption. So important the power that it is guaranteed to the whole people, that 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 down and right them. The idea of peaceably assembling and making intelligent and persistent protest againstrage and wrong seems foreign to him, and is rebounded 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 blood to the life, and it is the agitation of thoughts and ideas which prevents brain stagnation 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.

COUNTY OPTION To Cut Something of a Figure in the Coming Election. Are You for it? St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 22, 1914. To The Editor of THE_APEAL: Will you kindly grant me space in your columns to briefly discuss a public question which ought to be of interest to the colored voters of the Twin Cities. I want to call your attention just now to County Option, which is an issue in this campaign. Mr. Lee, candidate for Governor, has declared in favor of County Option and this brings it, as a political issue, squarely before the people of the State. What does County Option mean? Purley A. Baker, Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, says that "County Option is a stepping stone to Prohibition." This means, then, that if County Option is attained, the next logical step is prohibition for Minnesota. The next question is, how would this affect our people? Prohibition would drive out of business the better class of cafes and retail liquor establishments which now offer an opportunity for the colored man to find employment. If we had prohibition, there would be no employment for the colored man at Carling's Up-Town, Carling's Down-Town, The St. Paul, Magee's, The Frederic, The Ryan or any of the first class hosteliers where so many of our people now find employment. If none, and of this fact there is plenty of evidence, that under County Option or prohibition laws, there would be plenty of "hitched-pigs" or "speak easies," where the colored man could obtain liquor. The result then would be that County Option or prohibition would deprive him of one means of earning a livelihood without tending in any way to better his moral welfare. The colored voters of St. Paul and Minneapolis should, in self protection, carefully inform themselves as to how the candidates for office stand upon this question before they cast their ballots. It seems to me that no colored man, who has the interests of his race at heart, can afford to vote for any candidate for the establishment or State Senate or for Governor who is a champion of this form of sumptuary legislation. If the readers of your paper are opposed to County Opion and prohibition, they should cast their ballots for those who agree with them upon this question. Yours for the race. W. F. T. Chandler. To the Citizens and Taxpayers of the City of St. Paul; St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 22, 1914.

I have made a study of government, both city, state and national ever since, and I believe in economy of expenditures of the people's money. I also believe in continuation of good and permanent building of our highways, which will mean business coming to our city in place of some otherwise.

C. BY REV. QUINCY EWING. But we are very far from needing to rely upon any general consideration in support of the proposition advanced above. It is supported by evidences on every hand, waiting only the eye of recognition. Scarcely a day passes but something is said or done with this end in view, to emphasize, lest they forget, the conviction for both white man and Negro that the latter is and must remain an inferior. Let me instance a few such evidences. Consider, first, the "Jim Crow" legislation in the manner of its enforcement. Such legislation is supposed to have for its object the separation of the races in trains, street cars, etc., to save the white people from occasional contact with drunken, rowdy, ill-selling 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 without bumping into the strength of his little finger. Needles to add, these screens would serve to obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell of drunken rowdies who sat behind them! In summer cars, black and white passengers may be separated not even by a make-believe screen; they are simply required, respectively to occupy certain seats in the front or the back end of the cars. In Birmingham, Alabama, the front seats are assigned to Negroes in all closed cars, and the back seats in all open ones. Why the front seats in the one case, and the back seats in the other, it is not easy to understand in the light of the letter and alleged spirit of the Jim Crow law! The 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 not as of undoubted right but as with the white man's regulation. "This place you may occupy that other you may not, because I am I and you are you, lest to you or to me it should be obscured that I am I and you are you." Such is the real spirit of the Jim Crow laws. 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 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, would it be to set apart a certain number of seats on the circus circle of every theatre, and in the grandstand of a baseball park, for Negro patrons. The season why this is not done, is perfectly obvious; it would be intolerable to the average Southern man or woman to sit through the hours of a theatrical performance or a baseball game on terms of equal accommodation with Negroes, even with a screen between. Negroes would look out of place, out of their 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 valet looking after the comfort of a white invalid, have the label of their inferiority conspicuously upon them; they understand themselves, and everybody understand them, to be servants, enjoying certain privileges for the sake of the person served. Almost the South, and anywhere he may be given 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.

Miss Albreta Bell, as accompanist and soloist, was all any qne could wish for. ‘The organ numbers by Mr. Robert S. Strong were marred by some defects in the organ. The reading by Mme. Frazier was most excellent. All the participants merited the warm applause that was accorded.

STEELE, 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 85 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 served on the Probate Bench. His work among all classes 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 vote and your respect. He is your friend, my friend; OUR FRIEND. Vote for John H. Steele; Jurist, and—by the grace of God, GENTLEMAN! PAID ADVERTISEMENT Prepared and issued by Attorney Wm. H. H. Franklin, 1020 Metropolitan Life Building, for which $1.00 per inch is to be paid. M.
