SEEKS TO REDUCE COST OF LIVING Points Out Products For Which Large Sums Are Needlessly Expended Every Year—Holds That Extravagance is Principal Cause of Advance In Prices. New York.—Have the American people become a nation of prodigals and spendthrifts? It has been the custom of many Americans in bewailing the high cost of living to place the blame on the trusts, the tariff, some other agency. Of late, however, there has come into public notice a body known as the American Society For Thrift, which individually and collectively declares that the high cost of living is not so much chargeable to trusts or other agencies as to the prodigal and spendthrift spirit which has seized the people of this country, generally speaking. One of the leaders of Oklahoma is Governor Cruce of Oklahoma. So serious in the opinion of the members of this society has the situation become that a measure is about to be Photo by American Press, Association. GOVERNOR CRUCE OF OKLAHOMA, LEADING PROMOTER OF THRIFT SOCIETY. introduced in congress, to be known as the Clapp bill, directing President Wilson to invite foreign nations to participate in an international congress of thrift, to be held at San Francisco next year during the Panama-Pacific exposition, for the people of other countries than the United States have also developed a spirit of prodigality. Cicero in earlier days said, "Men know not how great a revenue is frugality." In later times Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, declared that "saving goes before security, happiness and good citizenship." The members of the Society For Thrift believe that these sayings still hold good today. "The plain fact of the matter," said one of the promoters of the movement, "is that extravagance has become almost more than a national habit among us. Self indulgence, the natural child of extravagance, has walked hand in hand with our readiness to spend money, a readiness which has become an obsession with many in their craze to outdo their neighbors. These people crave luxuries which they are well aware are far beyond their means, but which they persist in obtaining because of their personal vanity or a desire to impress others. "And not only has this spirit grown tremendously in late years; but it is fast increasing. We are a money spending mad people. We accumulate money, and we throw it away. An expert says that we are now spending the tremendous sum of $25,000,000 yearly for chewing gum alone. When one considers the great number of persons who chew gum and notes the amount of advertising resorted to by gum manufacturers this estimate seems not improbable. "For soda water and other noninhibitating drinks our bill in the United States has in a single year amounted to $325,000,000. As far back even as 1905 the craze for spending money was upon us, for in that year we spent in excess of $30,000,000 for automobiles, and this at a time when the automobile industry was still in its infancy. Since then this single item has reached into the hundreds of millions. "In the twelve months of 1905, too, the people of the United States ate candy and confectionery that cost $87,000,000, money enough to build a string of inland waterways up and down the Atlantic seaboard. The value of diamonds, rings, watches, gold chains, necklaces, pendants and similar articles purchased has amounted to more than twice the cost of constructing the Panama canal. "In 1908, before the wave of prohibition had advanced to its present point, the sum of $1,675,828,197 was expended in this country for intoxicating drinks, of which amount $638,170,864 was spent for whisky and other distilled spirits, imported and domestic, while the bill for beer and other malt liquors was $918,023,287. Three years before that date we spent $331,000,000 for cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco and snuff in twelve months." U. S. OWNS 8,000 ISLANDS. These Support 10,000,000 Persons and Have $300,000,000 Commissions. 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 commerce of these islands exceeds $300,000,000, 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." Washington—in spite of the fact that households 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 compiled, 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 tonnage 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 medially. 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. Earl of Shrewbury Proposes Second Monta Carlo at Canal. London. — The Casino Nacional de Panama company, limited, with the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot as chairman, which proposes to start a second Monte Carlo at Panama, gives an alluring description of the wonderful gambling and amusement resort it intends to launch. The company is to acquire 250 acres of land and to operate under a charter "insuring absolute freedom from all interference for a period of twenty-five years," according to the promises of its prospectus, but no statement is made of what authority is to give the charter and to insure the freedom from interference. The casino is to include most of the attractions of Monte Carlo—a big hotel, an orchid garden, which will be one of the wonders of the world; a bathing pavilion, pigeon shooting, tennis grounds, golf courses and, principally, the gambling hall. Panama is advertised as a splendid winter resort, while passengers will have twenty-four hours to spend on land while the steamers traverse the canal, thus insuring a constant patronage. Profits to the stockholders must be large, because the roulette tables will be run on a system giving the bank a much larger percentage of profits than the Monte Carlo company gets from the play there. Forty per cent dividends on the £4 shares are predicted by the prospectus. MODEL CHILD LABOR LAW. Industrial Board Would Put Little Workers Under State Bureaus. Philadelphia.-The members of the United States commission on industrial relations are discussing a plan for state bureaus to look after the welfare of working children of school age. The commission intends to present it at all the hearings it holds throughout the country with a view of recommending a model law for the states. The proposed bureau would maintain a school census and enforce regularity of attendance, issue licenses to minors engaged in street trades, issue employment certificates and look after the child during the first two years in industry, establish vocational guidance work to fit industrial conditions of a community, help the child to get placed in its chosen industry, look after the delinquent, defective and dependent and take charge of the medical inspective service of the schools. Kansas City, Mo. — David Trux, eighty-two years old, a life term in the Kansas penitentiary at Lansing, died while a pardon was on the way to him. Trux served in the Ninety-first New York in the civil war. Having grabbed a competency from a little farm in Meade county, he left his family for a few months and went to the Kansas Old Soldiers' home at Dodge City. On his return from a visit to town one day Trux brought with him a pint of whiskey. He put the bottle in his coat pocket, hung the coat in a tree and went into the barracks. While he was gone two of his crisans drank all the whiskey and replaced the empty bottle. When he discovered the empty bottle he became mad with rage. He got an old army pistol and killed one and wounded the other. One of the men was killed instantly and the other crippled for life. Trux was tried for murder, convicted and sentenced to the Kansas penitentiary for a life term. When Major W. L. Brown was appointed to the board of control he took a special interest in the convicts who have been soldiers and came to know Trux intimately. Through his intercession a pardon was granted. The papers were mailed to the governor, and Trux was taken from the cellroom and given the freedom of the office. He had been making big plans for his trip home. Out of his pension he had saved $150 to assure burial outside the prison cemetery and sent the rest to his family. Major Brown called in the warden's office to see Truax and found him sitting in an easy chair, apparently dozing. He was dead. In his lap was a book, "Homeward Bound." Gas Proves Deadly to Elias Independence, Kan.—A gas leak alongside the curb in front of a Main street residence has inadvertently given the city a hint at fly swatting that may prove of immense value. Along this leak, which extends about forty feet, is a layer of bluebottle files from two to three inches deep and three inches to a foot wide. It is estimated there are a half bushel of them. Something about the gas attracts the insects, and they are asphyxiated. Snake Stories In Season. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.-When Mrs. William Weaver, the wife of an Elmale liveryman, started to go into her cave the other day she encountered a bunch of snakes under the steps that had evidently come out from their winter quarters. She ran to the house and called her husband, who succeeded in killing fourteen reptiles of various sizes and species. Measure Appreciating $250,000 For Efficiency Has Been Passed by House 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 Brigadier 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 Robert 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 lieutenants 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. Baby Graspa 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 Frazier when an automobile in which she was seated was struck by a Southern Pacific train on a crossing near Clackamas 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 rulers 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 bolter 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 on 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. SLEEPS IN COFFIN TO BALK UNDERTAKERS Nebraska Man Hopes He'll Die In Casket. Lincoln, Neb. "Every night in the year E. T. Hunger, formerly 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. So 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 grewews 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.

WHITE CLOTHES HEALTHFUL Secretary of Kansas State Board Says Black Attire Means Discomfort. Topeka, Kan.—Dr. J. C. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, would make the main streets of all Kansas towns resemble the promenade of a tropical city. He has addressed a circular to the men of Kansas asking them to discard their blue and black summer clothing for white. He wears white during the hot season and says it pays. Also, he would discard ice water as a menace to health. "Women have learned the value of white dresses in the summer time," said Dr. Crumbine, "I can't understand why the men haven't learned the lesson long ago. Anything that resists heat in the summer makes for health. Black, blue or any other dark cloth is a heat absorbent and injurious. "Our summer temperatures are as high and sometimes higher, than in the tropics. The fact that the air is dryer is all that saves us. White clothes in the tropics are not a whim of fashion. They are a tribute to necessity and health. "The man in dark, heavy clothing always is rushing to the ice water," continued Dr. Crumbine. "And ten to one he will have a grouch on, while the cool man in white clothing is serene and even tempered. The ice water, dark clothing and the grouch are detrimental to public and private health." SAYS VICE CRUSADE HARMS. Poor Girls No Worse Than Others, Adds W. H. Allen. Madison, Wis.—"We must stop the morbid discussion of vice from the publ." Dr. William H. Allen, head of the New York bureau of municipal research, told the anti-vice committee of the Wisconsin legislature. "If discussion of this subject by women and others should be omitted for ten years," he adds, "there would be wholesome improvement. "This country is about to pay heavily for this anti-vice crusade. It is rankest injustice to poor girls to say that evil exists more among them than among others. There is no evidence that vice is on the increase. It is probably on the decrease." The Rev. E. G. Updike of the First Congregational church said that moral conditions, notably among university students, are better than twenty years ago, and the conduct of the students is generally good and steadily improving. FRANCE AROUSED BY PUBLIC MEN'S LIVES Scandals Brought to Light by Recent Shooting. Paris.-The Paris press is foreshadowing an approaching exposure in the private life of one of the most powerful statesmen in France which may cause a revolution in the matrimonial standard demanded of high officials of the government, hitherto elected to office regardless of the most flagrant violations of private morality. The exposure in question, which awaits investigation by detectives in the United States, is directed point blank at the enforced resignation of President Poincaré and undoubtedly is purely political in that respect. But it is part of a widespread movement throughout the country which was started almost immediately after President Poincaré was installed in the Elyssee with the wife he married immediately after her, as her lawyer, had obtained for her a divorce from her former husband, a cab driver. That Mme. Poincaré was an Italian by birth and had been an actress on the vaudeville stage did not serve as a protection against her enemies. They have been able to strengthen their campaign against her by the fact that her husband has compelled the government to give her a place in society which the wives of other presidents of France did not have. And out of the furious agitation over the murder of Editor Calmette of the Figaro by Mme. Calliaux, wife of the minister of finance, the movement for a moral standard in politics gathered many recruits. They are uniting to produce some decided action at the time of Mme. Calliaux's trial. The press calls attention to the fact that she is a divorcee, that the man she murdered had been divorced, that Calliaux had been divorced twice and that the defending lawyer, Labori, is the husband of a divorcee, the former wife of the famous musician, De Fachmann, whose divorce was obtained by Labori's legal efforts. HELD UP BY A HAIRBRUSH Quick Witted Denver Lawyer Gives a Burglar a Scare. Denver.—A burglar attempting to break into the home of Thomas J. Dixon, an attorney, was frightened away at the "point" of a hairbrush. Dixon detected the burglar cutting a screen on a window of his home. Seizing a silver mounted hairbrush, he pointed it at the man. "Throw up your hands," commanded Dixon. The burglar saw the glint of the silver back and quickly held his hands above his head. Dixon then called to his wife to telephone for the police. Before the officers arrived the burglar discovered Dixon's ruse. He scrambled over a high board fence and disappeared. $2.40 PER YEAR. SHACKLETON TO TEST POLAR FOOD Unique Experiment Seeking Light Rations. EXPLORE NORWAY GLACIERS Food Consumed In a Day by Explorer Weighs but Thirty-five Ounces and Has Highest Nutritive Value—Ship For South Pole Expedition Is Almost Complete. London. - With the thoroughness which has always characterized his work Sir Ernest Shackleton is about to make a preliminary trial expedition under arctic conditions in the glaciers of Norway. This will be for the special purpose of testing the rations for his trip across the antarctic continent, which he hopes to make in four and a half months. No party ever started out without having food depots to make such a distance as that in a straight line, but Sir Ernest and his men have made special preparations for the attempt. They have with the aid of the royal army medical corps evolved the "perfect ration." It will average only thir- Photo by American Press Association. SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON. ty-five ounces daily as compared with the three pounds or more consumed by the average man, but it is believed it represents the highest nutritive value for polar travel. Sir Ernest will be accompanied by five members of his staff when he goes to Norway to conduct experiments with these rations and also test his tents and motor sledges. The party will don polar kit and travel among the glaciers. While the cold will not be as intense as in the polar regions, the country will furnish the same sort of sudden blizzards as are experienced in the antarctic. The party will test the effect and potency of the rations in most detailed fashion. Such an experiment never has been made before. Shackleton's new ship, the Endurance, has been almost completely fitted in Norway. The vessel is eighteen feet longer than his last ship, Nimrod, and is a beautiful specimen of wooden shipbuilding. It probably is the last of its class that will be constructed. The whole keel is made of solid oak five and a half feet thick, and the sides are two feet thick. The vessel belongs to the barkentine class and has the latest triple expansion engines and will steam at the rate of ten knots. The ship is fitted to consume both oil and coal. When in the ice oil will be substituted for coal, which will mean economy if it is delayed in the pack, as the boilers can be kept warm and full heat generated quickly. When the oil has been used the tanks will be filled with water ballast. The Endurance will take on 100 tons of coal brigettes at the South Shetland islands, so it will enter the Weddell sea with full buoys. The second ship, Aurora, intended for the Ross sea side of the expedition, has been purchased and will be delivered at Hobart, Tasmania, at the end of August. The Endurance, which is to operate on the opposite side of the antarctic, will leave England early in August for Buenos Aires, when it finally will start for the antarctic base in October Most of the members of the expedition will leave England in the Endurance, but Sir Ernest Shackleton will travel later by mail steamer and join his ship at Buenos Aires. The dogs, which constitute an important factor in the expedition, are a cross between a wolf and a Scotch stag hound and have been bred in northern Canada. The lightest of them will turn the scales at eighty pounds. Couple Married by Mail. Superior. Wis. - Johannes Jacobus Knyk after preliminaries which lasted several months is now a married man. His bride was Miss Maria Louise Grotendorst of Holland. They were married by mail. The bride is expected to arrive from Holland in the early summer. Final papers uniting the couple have arrived from Holland. A number of officials took part in the ceremony. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? National Afro-American Newspaper PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY J. Q.

A recent issue of the Atlanta Indu- endent had a full page of redhot editorial matter lambastig the coward- ly curs who call themselves "leaders." If our esteemed contemporary will keep up this kind of work for a while, perhaps our Georgia brethren may be aroused from their lethargy and do as the editor suggests, and these are his words: "Kick out of pulpits and platforms every Negro leader who does not protest against the indignities thrust upon us." Under the caption "Cowardice on the Platform," the editor says: "No race or people in the history of civilization ever endured a leadership of more consummate cowards. The average Negro is a coward in his own esteem. Vold of respect, appreciation or manly resentment, he submits to every indignity, with apology, the white man inflicts upon him. When we speak of cowards, we do not mean physical cowards, but moral and intellectual cowards. The coward who hasn't the moral courage to resent a wrong. The coward who submits to every indignity imposed upon him by cowardly newspapers; the coward who accepts every jimcrow accommodation offered. The Jews will not read a paper that is hostile to the Jews. The Irishman resents with all his hot blood insults heaped upon his race by newspapers and other nationalities. The Japanese resents with all his manliness, with all his soul, with all his might, every wrong done him because of his race, his color or his condition. There is nobody a coward and the Negro; there is nobody that kisses the hand that smites him but the Negro; there is no race so divided against itself and is such a consummate hand of bootlickers, cowards and sycophants as black educated leaders. What we need is a manly leadership.—one full of moral courage and intellectual bravery.

Let us have a manly race; and we can only have a manly race by manly leadership." Autonomy is a high sounding word and means self government, but like many other good things it may be perverted. Recently a number of colored ministers and laymen of the Methodist Episcopal Church, met in Nashville, Tenn., and actually petitioned the Board of Bishops to set them apart from the other members of the church, did it in the name of the Lord. The colored members of the M. E. church have no great grievance. They have been given representation in the various activities of the churches. When colored men have been nominated for the bishopric hundreds of white men have voted for them, but because that they have been unable up to this time to elect a colored bishop the men who met in Nashville seem to be willing to jim crow themselfs. In the opinion of THE APPEAL it would be far better, far more Christian like for the men who are dissatisfied, to withdraw entirely from the church, rather than to allow the color line to enter the church of God. They could unite with the A. M. E. Church, the A. M. E. Z. Church, or the C. M. E. Church and colored bishops. That would be better than to start the color line in a Christian church. The men who father this proposition are making a great mistake and they will live to see it. They have really voted against themselves and their children by advocating segregation, for that is what it is. They have voted against liberty against their country and against their God. THE APPEAL hopes that the Board of Bishops will reject their memorial as unchristian and save these men from themselves. --- "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. 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 is the power guaranteed to the people through 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 peacefully assembling and making 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 that prevents stagnation and death. It is the agitation of the air which gives pure joy; it is the agitation of the blood, which gives us the power of motion and life, and it is the agitation of thoughts and ideas which prevents brain stagnation and mental death.

"MADE IN U. S. A." Senator Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the senate committee on commerce, favorably reported the following resolution, which had been submitted by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts: "The secretary of commerce is hereby directed to cause to be prepared in detail an estimate of the probable cost of sending at least six vessels, now in the military or naval service of the United States, or otherwise, to the principal port of South America, such vessels to carry suitable samples of the manufacturers and products of this country, together with a reasonable number of representatives of business or trade organizations, and to adopt such other means as may by him be deemed advisable, to the end that our manufacturers and producers may be forthwith put in direct contact with the markets of South America." The majority of the people in Mexico, Central and South America are mixed bloods, Caucasians, Indian and Negroes and all sorts of complicated mixtures and it would undoubtedly be a great idea to load the ship with samples of jimcrow cars and various other hellish things which are made only in the United States. The 19,000,000 colored people out of the 20,000,000 inhabitants of Brazil would no doubt be greatly interested in the U. S. Treasury brand of water closets "For Negroes only" put on the market by that distinguished inventor, John Skelton Williams of Virginia. TURKEY'S GREAT COUP. That was a neat coup executed by Turkey. Seeing that the time was opportune she has by a stroke of the pen abolished the obnoxious system of extraterritoriality and declared herself supreme in her own house. The principle of extraterritoriality has been very exasperating to the Turks. The alleged "Christian" powers, because the Turks are of Asiatic origin and Mohammedans, assume that they were unable to handle their own affairs and compelled them by force of their superior warships to submit to the indignity of allowing consular courts of the various powers to take the place of the regular Turkish courts. Then Great Britain, Russia, Germany, France, Austria and Italy established branch postoffices in the various cities of the Ottoman Empire for the use of foreigners and in order to compete with these usurping establishments the Turks were obliged to sell stamps at prices below the regular postal union rates. The subjects of the great powers were treated with more consideration than Turkish citizens and exempt from taxation. The situation was almost unbearable, but the outrageous condition was backed by the combined navies of Europe so what could the poor Turks, who had but a few bum battleships, do? When they voiced strong protests against the injustice of the thing, the Christian powers simply pointed to their warships. Then came a change. The great Christian powers began to spring at each others' throats and while they were engaged in the delightful pastime of murdering men with machine guns, Turkey, which is now ruled by the "Young Turks" who have modernized court procedure and brought the tribunals of justice up to date, seized the opportunity to put an end to an unjust and humiliating conditions and "put one over" on the Christians.

Engineers to Examine Ground For $20,000,000 Resimination Rise $20,000,000 Reclamation Plan. Washington in the American Red Cross farreaching plan for the prevention of floods in eastern China through a $20,000,000 reclamation project has been completed with the selection of a board of engineers to examine the ground. The plan has the approval of President Wilson, who was authorized by congress to send the Red Cross a specified number of army engineers skilled in river work. The board will consist of Colonel William Luther Silbert of the corps of engineers, U. S. A., builder of the Gatun locks and dam at Panama; Arthur Powell Davis, chief engineer of the United States reclamation service, and Daniel Webster Mead, professor of engineering in the University of Wisconsin. Charles Davis Jameson, general advisory engineer, who made the preliminary examination of the afflicted district and on whose report this board is being sent to China, will accompany the engineers. When the work is undertaken Colohel Silbert will have the Red Cross recommendation at the request of the Chinese government for appointment as engineer in chief of the conservancy work. DARING RESCUE OF CHILD. Reading Laborer Carries Two-year-old to Safety With Teeth. Reading. A two-year-old child, Mary Perlora, wandered from her home, near the old Seyfert furnace, to be discovered several hours later on a decaying bridge 100 feet above the Reading railway tracks. A strong breeze and the weakened bridge made her position extremely dangerous, and the only way to reach her quickly was by a rough climb up the precipitous side of a clder bank. Stephen Circella, a young Italian laborer, was the hero who rose to the occasion. While hundreds of neighbors watched he climbed the sharp bank of slag, painfully tearing his hands and legs, crawled out on the shaking bridge structure, seized the belt of the little girl's dress between his teeth and carried her thus back to safety and her anxious parents. Denver—For being courteous to an aged woman Robert Reiner has been left $25,000 in her will, but Mrs. Christina J. Evans, who took care of the same old lady's dog until the dog died, for which, she says, she was promised $500 in the will, had to start suit in the district court against the estate in order to collect the money she said was due her. The old lady was Mrs. Cella Oster. She was worth about $100,000 when she died a short time ago and divided her money and property among a number of friends and heirs and made several bequests to charitable institutions, but Reiner came in for the rest of the estate, receiving $10,000 from it and all of the money Mrs. Oster had in two Denver banks, amounting to $15,000. Mrs. Oster became a widow a number of years ago and, being childless, found that nobody was kind to her unless he was well paid for his little services. Reiner, however, she found to be a different sort, although a young man. He entertained Mrs. Oster in numerous ways and never asked anything in return. When she died he found he suddenly had become rich. When Mrs. Oster made her will she left $1,500 to be paid to Mrs. Evans for taking care of her dog. Daisy, until the latter's death. Daisy died in July, 1913, and shortly before Mrs. Oster's death she made a codicil to her will in which she revoked the bequest to Mrs. Evans. FIRST WHISKY KILLS HIM. Young Man Dies After Convivial Evening With Friends. Philadelphia—After dropping unconscious in his home Edward Cavanaugh, Jr., twenty-one, died soon afterward. According to the police, Cavanaugh went for a stroll with several friends. He never had drunk whisky before. During the evening he had several drinks. He returned home and, according to his father, was not intoxicated. He went to the cellar to remove a nail from his shoe and called that he was dying. His father rushed to his aid, but he died a few minutes later. SAVED LIFE. WON LIBERTY. Convict Plunged Into Lake and Rescued Drowning Boy. Wichita Falls, Tex. - Plunging into the waters of the Fort Worth and Denver railroad lake, near here, a member of the county convict gang rescued a drowning boy. The boy was Joe Perdue, who was seining in the lake with other boys and got beyond his depth. The cries of his comrades reached the convict gang at work nearby and one of them plunged into the water and dragged Perdue ashore just in time to save his life. The convict was given his liberty.

Unique Idea Worked Out by an Atchison Letter Carrier. Atchison, Kan.—John Fortune, a mail carrier of this city, has completed a map of the United States from postage stamps. By using stamps of various colors be separated the original thirteen colonies, also outlining every state. The large rivers are shown with orange colored stamps. In the center of the map is a great American eagle with wings spread, the olive branch and bundle of arrows clutched in its talons. Above the eagle is worked out the phrase "E pluribus unum." The great lakes are shown and the Canadian border is designated with Canadian stamps. The map is bordered with pictures of presidents, the likenesses being secured from stamps of various designs. In the center of the state of Virginia is a copy of the Declaration of Independence, bordered with stamps of Washington design. The stamps are all pasted upon a canvas, 5 by 9 feet, and each one of them has been trimmed, requiring infinite patience and work. The exact number of stamps used in making the map is known only to Mr. Fortune, as it is his intention to lease it to large stores to be used as a basis for guessing contests. KILLS RATTLER, WINS WIFE Romance Is Helped Along When Ranchman Slays Coyotes. Denver—Three years ago Patrick J. Kerrigan was riding over his homestead, near Deer Trail, Colo., when he came upon a young woman who had encountered a rattlesnake. Kerrigan dismounted from his horse and killed the snake. The young lady thanked him and went to her cabin, adjoining his homestead. Later the same year Kerrigan killed a number of coyotes engaged in the slaughter of the young woman's stock. Again she thanked him and again he rode away. Thus their romance began. Finally Kerrigan proposed and Mary Dougherty accepted. The romance reached its climax when the pair were married at St. Patrick's church, North Denver. EARNS COLLEGE COURSE ON TWO ACRE FARM Lad of Seventeen Clears $800 by His Industry. Waterloo, la. — An income of $800 from two acres within a few months is the record made last summer by Glenn Trapp, a seventeen-year-old boy. The boy, who formerly was a news carrier, paid for his land with the onions that he raised and made a neat sum in addition on other vegetables. A desire to earn enough money to go to college was the incentive for the venture by young Trapp Early last spring he purchased two acres of ground in Beaver Gardens, ten miles north of Des Moines, on the Perry Interurban. The land cost him $500, and he made the first payments with money he had earned and saved while carrying papers. The boy erected a tent on his two acres and lived there during the summer, doing his own cooking and working from dawn till dark on his small farm. He planted the most of his land to onions, also putting in a few melons, potatoes and sweet corn. By thinning out his onion crop early in the summer he realized nearly $60 on young onions. The onions he harvested later are recognized by experts to be about the best grade and quality that have been raised in Iowa. He took out nearly 600 bushels of onions for which he received $1 per bushel. His melons, potatoes and sweet corn have brought him an additional income. Within another year Trapp expects to have sufficient funds to complete a full college course. His success with his two acres is considered an excellent example of the possibilities of intensive farming. NONE OF 410,000,000 KILLED 299 Railroads In U. S. Carry This Number In Years Without Michigan Number In Year Without Mishap. Chicago.-Two hundred and ninety-nine railways of the United States, operating a mileage equal to the combined railways of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Austria and Italy, went through last fiscal year without a single fatality to a passenger in a train accident. The railways, which operate together 120,901 miles of line, constitute more than two-thirds of the operating companies making their annual reports to the bureau of railway news and statistics. During the year the railways thus reporting complete immunity carried a total of 409,808,488 passengers. Janesville. Wls.—When clubwomen of Janesville inaugurated a campaign and offered a bounty of 10 cents per 100 dead files, they had no intention of making the contest nation wide. Nevertheless the committee sent 60 cents to Master Wayne Rogers, Stur, Miss. a nine-year-old lad who had read of the Janesville fight and got busy. He sent the carcasses in an envelope which contained a note written in a childish scrawl. 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, Yerdaman, 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.

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 a view amphiphaeus lost they forget, the conjecture for both white man and Negro that the latter is and must remain an inferior. Let me instance a few such evidences. 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 endured, the conjecture 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-skilled 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 with the strength of his little finger. Needless to add, these screens would serve to obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell of drunken rowdies who sat behind them! In summer cars, black and white passengers may be separated not even by a make-believe screen; they are simply required, respectively to occupy certain seats in the front or the back end of the cars. In Birmingham, Alabama, the front seats are assigned to Negroes in all closed cars, and the back seats in all open ones. Why the front seats in the one case, and the back seats in the other, it is not easy to understand in the light of the letter and alleged spirit of the Jim Crow law! The 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 and place passengers rode public conveyance on equal terms; therefore the Negro who rides in a public conveyance must do so, 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. 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 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 serf 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 accompanied by "pull" against the We have praised 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. Employees Who Get By. (Chicago Defender.)

Migration Means In Caucasian, Born and Reared in dicty of the South is to Keep in Inferior Status. 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 the theatres and baseball games are so well attended by half the population that first-class seats are limited to other half. As a matter of fact, theatre-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, it 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; it would be intolerable to the average Southern man or woman to sit through the hours of a theatrical performance, or a baseball game, 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 valet looking after the comfort of a white invalid, have the label of their inferiority conspicuously upon them; and everybody understand themselves, and everybody understand their bants, 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. count when prejudice steps in, so we must fight fire with fire, and those that are able to be gifted by "peace be with them in any way." Russians and Americans Alike. (Nashville Globe.) It will be a "commandable event in the march of civilization" if the war brings freedom to the Jews in Russia, but we fear the Russians are wholly like their cousins, aunts and uncles in America and will, after the war, drop into the time-worn habit of seeing around the beam in their own eye the mote in their neighbor's. FIGHTING FOR THE BALLOT. (St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Va.) The Congressional Union, the white women's national suffrage organization, is out on the war path against every democratic congressman in the nine states in the West in which women vote. The Congressional Union has headquarters in Chicago, and is the only organization to get the scalp of every democrat who is opposed to women receiving the ballot. Everybody seems to understand the power of the ballot except the colored people. We need but little here below, and we don't need that little long.
