BIG ARMY GUARDS NATIONAL HEALTH WILL LESSEN DEATH RATE E. E. HITTENHOUSE. nest error to do these things: "First.—To inform myself upon the subject of personal, community and household hygiene and to obey the laws of health. "Second.—To encourage the practice of individuals having periodic health examinations to uphold physical efficiency and to deploit disease in time to check or cure it. "Third.—To give support and encouragement and to urge my friends to do the same to the public health service and officials who are laboring to protect the most precious asset of the nation. "Fourth.—To encourage schools, churches, social and civic bodies and employers to give as a patriotic duty all consistent help in stimulating public awareness and in spreading knowledge of the risks advancing science of health and life conservation. "Fifth.—To co-operate with and advise the Life Extension Institute in its purpose to reduce life waste and to guard and strengthen the vitality and vigor of our race." "During recent years there has been an extraordinary growth of popular sentiment in favor of the conservation of health and life," says President Rittenhouse, who initiated the new organization. "The National Health Guard will give the average citizen an opportunity to give his moral support and encouragement to this health uplift movement at the cost of very slight effort and without charges or fees for membership. "The urgent need of upbuilding American vitality is especially emphasized just now by the conflict in Europe, where modern methods of warfare have made the most extraordinary demands upon the strength and endurance of both soldiers and noncombatants. This lesson is of special importance. In certain evidences of apparent decline, the power of our young, as well as older people, to resist chronic disease. "Yesterday about 2,500 unnecessary deaths occurred - 2,500 new and premature graves were filled-in the United States. A similar calamity happened today and will happen tomorrow and every day throughout the year. If these 2,500 premature deaths were scheduled to occur in a certain city or locality every day the needless sacrifices and accidently become a great tragedy, and persons would be overflowing with heart stirring accounts of the pending disaster. Then you would open your hearts and also your purses to any extent necessary to prevent the calamity. "The wars of our country are fought not with trained and muscular hardened regulars, but with soft and untrained volunteers, unused to duties calling for a high order of physical endurance. They are taken from the ordinary walks of life, and it is upon the strength, vigor and physical endurance of our country may depend." CANAL NEUTRALITY RULE. Only Six Fighting Ships of Warring Nations May Pass at One Time. Nations May Pass at One Time. Washington.-President Wilson recently issued a proclamation announcing the neutrality regulations for the Panama canal zone. It provides that all vessels of belligerent nations shall be allowed to pass through the canal in the order of their arrival at either end, but that twenty-four hours shall elapse between the departure of vessels flying the flags of two nations that are at war. War vessels shall pass through as rapidly as possible and shall not remain in waters adjacent to the canal longer than absolutely necessary. No vessel shall remain in the canal more than twenty-four hours. The docking and repairing facilities of the United States shall be used by belligerent ships only to make repairs that are necessary to their seaworthiness. War vessels shall not be allowed to provision in the canal zone except when absolutely necessary and then shall take on only enough to meet their needs until they arrive at the next port. Commanders of belligerent vessels are forbidden to embark or disembark troops in the canal zone except for the purpose of making necessary repairs. Not more than three vessels flying the flag of any belligerent nation shall anchor in the waters adjacent to the canal at one time, and not more than three, making six in all, shall pass through the canal at one time. MOUSE TIES UP WHOLE TOWN Causes Short Circuit at Light Plant and Everything Stong. Hutchinson, Kan. — An undersized mouse short circuiting some wires in the city electric light plant here stopped the street cars, put out all the lights in the city, shut down certain parts of the salt plants, chemical works, newspaper mills, strawboard plant, newspaper typesetting machines, one telegraph company and other industries depending on electric motors for power for an hour. Edward Benson, assistant engineer at the plant, tried to get the mouse out with a pair of tongs without shutting down the plant, and the little animal jumped into a connection that electricated it. causing several thousand people to take a vacation when the burned out switches and wires could be repaired. Mr. Benson was badly burned about the hands, arms and face, but will recover. PHYSICAL BLIGHT AS FRUIT OF THE WAR Washington.—Over Europe of the future, no matter upon which side victory rests, declare medical men and scientists, will sweep the devastating hand of physical blight. Children with crippled forms, weak bodies and unbalanced minds will fill the cradles of every nation now at war, offspring of the men made unit for parentage by the great conflict. Dr. Alex Hirschman of the National museum and noted anthropologist, is one of the savants who has studied the effect of Europe's conflict upon the children yet to be born. To him the present war presents a vastly different aspect with regard to future generations than any conflict has ever presented before. Since men of science first began to study the effect of wars upon the human race it has been admitted that whenever it was best physical examples of a nation wounded the physical manhood of that nation suffered. Then it was discovered that for every man killed or fatally wounded four died of disease. As warfare approached its present modern character the number of killed and wounded in each engagement decreased, while the number who died from "natural causes" increased. Army physicians increased by percentage of mortality from wounds to the greatest conflict is likely to be far less than it has been in the wars of the past. But the scientists—both medical men and anthropologists—add to that statement their belief that the loss of the men killed in the war will not detract from the physical welfare of Europe's future sons one-hundredth part as much as will the men who return unwounded from the field, because war is no longer primarily an annihilator of life, so far as the calculations of science are concerned, but a shatterer of nervous constitutions, a creator of neurosynthetic wrecks, weakened mentalities and sapped vitalities. REASONS WHY MEN DRINK. "Toothache," "Heavy Cold" and "stomach Trouble." So They Say. Columbus, Ind.-A, survey of the causes that take men into the city court here shows that toothache is to blame more than anything else. Next to "toothache" is a "beavy cold," and "stomach trouble" runs a poor third. Nearly every man who is arrested on an intoxication charge has some such experience, and when he admit they get drunk just to be drunk and have no excuse to offer. THE APPEAL. EDISON BANS CIGARETTES. BEING WOUNDED PROTECTION FOR "GE Workers Can't Use Them, Though He Smokes Cigars. Chic Smokes cigars and chews. West Orange, N. J. - When the 6,700 employees of the Edison plants here entered the shops the other morning they were confronted on every side with printed signs bearing this warning: "Cigarettes Not Tolerated. They Dull the Brains." As a result of correspondence with Henry Ford, the Detroit automobile manufacturer, Thomas Edison decided to be a crusader against the cigarette. At the request of Mr. Ford, Edison made analyses of at least twenty brands of cigarettes. While he found the tobacco contained in them was of all qualities, he found poisonous matter in all the papers in which they were rolled. Said Mr. Edison: "That poison attacks the brain and works havoc with man's mental activity. His mind becomes clouded. Evaristo Madero, brother of the late president of Mexico, told here a few days ago that men, women and children are invertebrate smokers of cigarettes in the southern republic. That is why Mexicans as a race are not clear headed." Mr. Edison has always abbreviated cigarettes, but he is a heavy smoker of cigars, and he likes to chew tobacco. WALKS 190 MILES TO ENLIST. Boy Disappointed When Told War Had Not Been Declared. Jackson, Miss.-Coung afloat all the way from Tate county, 100 miles, George Stark, a young farmer, went to the office of the adjutant general of the state and astonished everybody there by saying that he wanted to enlist as a private for the war in Mexico. The attaches of the office looked at the man in wonder. This certainly was unusual. Everybody else that had said militia about enlisting in the state militia would be a captain, a colonel or a major. The simon pure patriot was told to keep up with the daily newspapers and return to the adjutant general's office when war should be declared and Mississippi would be called on for militia. Starkis was disappointed. He wanted to get into the fight at once. He wanted no stripes, no honors—simply the privilege of being a private in the ranks to fight for the honor of the flag. M'ADOOS WILL LIVE IN A LITTLE "COTTAGE" Future Home Situated In Fashionable Washington Suburb. Washington.—Now that the Wilson McAdoo wedding is over, one great postnuptial fact stands out prominently: The McAdoos are going to live in a cottage! This has come as something of a shack in Washington society, which, when it heard the news, elevated its eyebrows and emitted a little murmur of surprise. But it will be jarring to certain of a sentimental cast of mind to learn that the "cottage" of the McAdoos will be a cottage in name only. It's something on the order of the "cottages down at Newport" that Cohan used to sing about long years ago, and the cottage which the McAdoos are reported to be taking is stuated at Chevy Chase, not far from the city of which President Wilson is a member. A cottage at Chevy Chase comes very near being the kind of house known in 1880 as a mansion. Chevy Chase is the most exclusive suburb of all the suburbs around the capital, and the man who buys a house there finds his deed quite full of clauses, stipulating everything from the price of the house he must build on the lot to the color and nationality of the man to whom he may sell his property, ever he goes broke. A report that the McAdoo cottage is to be in Chevy Chase kills all the rosette dreams of the sentimental mind, who probably conjured up dreams of a bungalow where the red roses grow. L00PS 15 L00PS; QUITS. Aviator Retires, Saying There Is No Money or Glory For Professionals. Paris—One of the foremost of French air men, Rene Didart, is retiring from aviation disappointed. That there is no longer either money or glory in professional aviation is the conclusion arrived at by Vidart after four years of activity. To celebrate his retirement Vidart looped the loop fifteen consecutive times and then came to earth to remain there. He will devote his time in the future to automobile racing and to big game shooting, for after the dangers of the high alrs, according to Vidart, a man has lost all taste for the bumdum pursuits of life. Ancient Crade Still Used. Columbus, Ind—John W. Scheldt, treasurer of Bartholomew county, has presented his grandchild, Walter J. Koch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore K. Koch of this city, with a black waukru cradle that is fifty-two years old. Mr. Scheldt's father bought it. Eleven children in the family were rocked in the cradle and also eight children of John W. Scheldt Now Mr. Scheldt has a grandson, who will be rocked in it. Defective Page BADLY INJURED BUT HAPPY. Women Give Up Hope For Boys as They Go to War, and Their Return. Although Disfigured, is Ocession For Great Joy—One Said, "We Not Disfigured; I am Decorated." Caliats.—"You can't imagine the joy of mothers and fathers when their boys come back to them from the war minus an arm or a leg or some other portion of their bodies. Human nature is a queer thing, and war brings this queerness into strong relief," says one of the American correspondents now at the front. "I witnessed the arrival of a Red Cross train here. The cars were loaded with young men fresh from the Belgian border. A soldier I talked to. We gave them hell, I tell you—but we caught a few pellets ourselves. "From the looks of them they had indeed. Some hobbled out of the cars, their arms in slings or their heads tied up or a foot on the ground; others came on stretches to be transferred to the channel steamers waiting at the dock. One soldier limped out on the platform. His head was bandaged all around so voluminally that he couldn't wear his cap. "One arm was in a sling; the hand was bandaged in a way betokening the absence of one or more fingers. "Near by stood a woman. She was looking for some one. Suddenly the much older woman the woman and started. With an indistinct sound, partly smothered by the bandages, he touched the woman "He uttered a cry and seached eagerly the bandaged face. Apparently her mother love, rather than her eyes, told her it was her boy. "My son, my son" she exclaimed, enraptured. A Red Cross surgeon stepped up. "Madam, he said, 'your son undoubtedly will recover, but I must tell you that most of his jaw is shot a way. "Oh, I'm so glad, so glad!" the mother gripped, tears streaming from her eyes. "I see that sort of thing many times daily," the surgeon said. "When a mother sees her boy march away to war she gives him up for dead, she scarcely hopes even in her mother heart of hope ever to see her boy alive again Always she lives in dread of the day when the brief announcement of the dead will contain the name of her boy when her boy comes back to her it doesn't matter how terribly he is shot up on disfigured. It is the same with mothers everywhere, any time. "There is another cause for a mother's joy when her son returns maimed, broken physically, but alive. She knows the boy cannot return to the battle line, a mark for bullets, and shrapnel that kill. "There is another strange thing to be noted while talking to the wounded. They are quite happy to have bad wounds about the face and head, much preferring disfiguring face wounds to lesser wounds in body or legs. "A train of wounded was on its way to southern France. When it halted at Bontoge those of the wounded who were able got out to walk up and down the platform. Among these was one whose face could hardly be called by that name. One eye was gone, the other was badly swollen until he could hardly see. Bandages covered all but discolored parts of his face. "You poor dear, sympathized an Englishwoman who approached him timidly. You poor, poor boy." "Madust: replied the soldier with as much pain and clearness as the bandages would permit, 'don't pity me. Pity my friends in the train there who cot it where it won't show." "The Englishwoman couldn't understand." "Why—why—why," she stunnered, I thought you wouldn't like to be disfigured. "Disfigured! The soldier replied. I'm not disfigured! I'm decorated!" OLD THIEF SAVES BOY PAL Found In House He Stays to La Youth Upstairs Escape. Terre Haute, Ind. - Dan McCarthy, died sixty-one years, calmly waived for arrest when the police were sum- moned to a house by a burglar alarm over a telephone. He stood in the hall, making no effort to escape. Later explained that he acted as he did order to give his pal, who was us- stairs, a chance to escape. The pal, he said, was only a boy, the son of a Chicago saloon keeper, and the old man did not wish the young- ster caught "dead to rights," which would mean a prison term. He said that he had served so many terms he did not mind another one. In the city court he said he did not wish a lawyer and waived examination, speaking as one acquainted with court procedure. He was bound over to the circuit court, where, he says, he will plead guilty. He talked freely about his career, telling of his various prison experiences. PROTECTION FOR "GENIUS." Inventors of "P perpetual Motion" Will Be Saved, Patent Fees. Washington.—Owing to the growth in numbers of inventive "geniuses" who declare that they have solved the perpetual motion problem the officials of the patent office have had to take steps to protect them. Any one can make an application for a patent, paying a fee of $15. An examiner investigates the claim and, if there is merit to it, calls for a model. If there is no merit the patent is then rejected and the $15 goes into Uncle Sam's treasury chest. Nearly every one of these perpetual motion inventors is in financial straits. The loss of $15, according to the officials, is a severe blow, to them financially. Hereafter the patent office will not permit any one to file a patent for a perpetual motion machine unless the application is accompanied by a model of the machine, the model being one that will perform. A circular to that effect is being sent out. "It would keep two stenographers busy practically all of the time writing a paper of chief of perpetual motion machines," said Clerk Woolard recently. "The circular time and saves money for the government, meanwhile saving money for the poor fellows who believe they have solved this problem." There is at least one visitor a day to the patent office who has a perpetual motion machine. VACCINATE OR GET NO CASH. Minnesota Indians Must Be Examined Before Government Pays Them. Bemidji, Minn. — The ninth installment of a fifteen installment treaty, made by the United States government with the Red Lake Indians, is now being paid at the reservation, and 1,479 Indians will participate. The per capita payment is $61.75, which is a slight increase over last year. The total amount to be paid at this payment is approximately $101.075, twelfths of which has already been paid. Prior to securing his payment each and every Indian must submit to an examination by the agency physician, who keeps a card index of all patients. If he finds any one who ought to be vaccinated he completes this work before payment is made to him. MEAL OF 1,000 HEAT UNITS FOR 10 CENTS Reducing Cost of Living by Scientific Measures. New York.—A scientific restaurant where one may obtain enough nutrition for 10 cents is to be opened here. It has been scientifically demonstrated that enough properly balanced food to keep an average man in good condition is not expensive. The food which it is proposed to serve at a restaurant for 10 cents contains enough calories for an average person doing light work. Professor Graham Lusk of the department of physics at Cornell medical college has arranged the menu, based on the assumption that persons engaged in different kinds of labor require different amounts of calories. A man who lies abed twenty-four hours requires only 1,480 calories a day; a rider in a six day bicycle race requires 10,000 calories. A man abed for eight hours and in a chair fourteen hours and having moderate exercise for two hours requires 2,500 calories. The average farmer needs 3,500 calories. The meal which will be served at this scientific restaurant will give exactly 1,000 heat units, enough for a luncheon for a man doing light work. Professor Lusk has arranged this menu, giving 1,000 heat units for 10 cents: 76 ounces of beans 1 ounce of pork. 21-3 ounces of butter. 5 ounces of milk and 5 ounces of coffee, mixed. Three such meals mean 3,000 heat units, and if one eats a heavier meal in the evening with this scientific luncheon of beans and pork he will obtain enough calories for anything less than hard physical labor. LIVES MONTH IN BEER CAR. Cat Had No Food, and His Rib Showed, but Hell Recover. Vancouver. B. C.-Out of a box of beer that arrived here yesterday there walked the shadow of a once robust tomb. Pussy's ribs were showing, and he was so weak he could hardly move toward a bowl of milk that kind hearted customs officers at the Canadian Pacific wharf quickly provided for him. The car was sealed in Milwaukee thirty days ago, and the big cat no干结 no shrine. He will recover. Mountain Lion Killing Elk. Fort Collins, Colo.—A mountain lion is reported to be slaughtering the elk shipped into Estes park by the government a short time ago. Four or five elk were killed there recently a carried away bodily. The fact that there are no traces of dragging leads trappers to believe that an enormous lion is doing much of the killing. Forest rangers in the park are searching for the bear. THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT RECORDS 1- In some places all the news possible. 2- In some places is impersonally, whistling in words. 3- In some places are shameless and insulting. WILSON HELD UP BY HALLBOY. Youngster insists on Announcing President Before Admitting Him. New York—President Wilson on a recent visit here decided to pay a brief visit to Mrs. Anna Wilson Howe, his sister, who has apartments in the Hotel Anderson. One of the proprietor-of the house has had difficulty recently in impressing upon the elevator boys that no callers shall be taken up until they have first been announced to the guests. Recently the rule was violated by W. Higgins, a West India boy, whereupon Miss Anderson reproved him, and to impress upon his mind firmly that the rule was a fixed one. she cried: "Understand now, Higgins, no one is to be taken up until he has been announced first—no one, understand? Not even the president of the United States," she added severely. Higgins was on duty when two distinguished looking gentlemen, followed by several looking young men, entered and walked directly to the elevator. Higgins promptly intercepted them. The rule is to announce all gentlemen "drive" he said. "Very well replied the tailer of the two callers" "Just say to Mrs. Howe that Mr. Wilson is calling." Higgins turned toward the telephone when one of the young men halted him: "It's all right, boy," he said. "This is the president of the United States." Higgins looked the party over, how but continued off to the telephone. "Don't make no diffence, boss," he said. "Mis. Anderson say even the president of de United States got to be announced that." The president burst into a hearty laugh. "That is perfectly right, my boy," he said. "Besides, he continued, if a certain sort of satisfaction in the fact that there is some one in New York who doesn't know me and to whom I have to be identified." EAGLE BOARDS SHIP; FIGHTS. Though Exhausted by Long Flight, it Injures Two of Crew. Philadelphia — When the Longscape, the British tramp steamship, came into port from Huelva, Spain, her crew told how a brown feathered eagle measuring five feet from wing to wing had come on board in an exhausted condition when 150 miles from the Delaware capes and had given two of the crew a good fight before it was captured. Boatswain Smith had a cut over his left eye, and Seaman Hughes right hand was scratched and cut. The eagle was seen asterin Monday morning, and after a three hour flight it seemed to spurt itself for a final dash and landed on the foremast. Smith went to pick the bird up, when it turned on him. The flight followed. Streets Crowded and Schools Reopen After Months. Paris—Paris is filling up again and appears to be getting back some small signs of being her old self. Her streets are fuller, shops are reopening here and there, the caferaces are less deserted, and the arrivals of whole families from the provinces grow in num ber daily. It is estimated that from a quarter to half a million people have returned within the last fortnight. Reasons for the return are not far to seek. In the first place, the fear of being shut up in a beaigned city is so greatly diminished as hardly to count in the calculations of those who feed when those "terrible Germans" were coming on, and in life in a metropolis in winter, especially when one is in one's own familiar home, is preferable to the discomforts and rigors of an unknown countryside or provincial town. Schools have reopened, and parents naturally wish to be with their boys and girls at this important period. Bombs from the enemy's Taubes are still ugly possibilities, to be sure, but reflection has led people to see that the chance of their being the individual victimized is so small in a city of nearly 2,000,000 inhabitants as to be small. Consequently, though half or more of the shops are shut and nearly all the hotels are shut, though there are no motorbuses, the city is beginning to look normal, the sidewalks are crowded save at the sacred hour of dejeuner, and while the cafes are open, which is until 8 p. m., they are nearly as thronged as in the antebellum days. FINDS VOLCANIC REEF. Old Whaler Discovers Ledge Where Chart Calls For Plenty of Water. San Francisco.—A remarkable phenomenon in Alaskaan waters is reported by Captain C. T. Pedersen, an old whaler and explorer, who returned to San Francisco a few days ago from the far north. He says that on the chart the depth of the stretch of water between Hor island and Amakok island is given as nine and a half fathoms, while now there are only two fathoms to be had at high water. Volcanic eruptions probably caused the reef to spring up Captain Pedersen says. $2.40 PER YEAR WIFE IS EYES FOR BLIND LAWMAKER Mrs. Thomas D. Schall Run Her Husband's Campaign. BIG AID IN HIS ELECTION. Ram His Automobile to 200 Towns and His Act as Personal and Political Guide—Will Now Go to Washington as Congressman's Secretary—His Oretory is Fascinating. Minneapolis. Minn.—One of the new Minnesota congressmen will see public affairs through a woman's eyes. This is Thomas D. Schall, a blind lawyer, who enjoys the distinction of being the first representative elected to congress from the newly created Tenth Minnesota district. Mr. Schall was the political and personal guide of her husband in the campaign, driving his automobile to the 200 towns where he spoke during the campaign. She will go to Washington with him as his private secretary. "I am sure Mr. Schall will make a great success in congress." said Mrs. Schall. "His speaking ability and convincing arguments will win him prestige. Sympathy for his blindness may THOMAS D. SCHALL. have won him respectful attention in the campaign, but it was his convincing oratory that got votes. "I know his oratory is fascinating because"—the little woman hesitated and blushed and then added. "because it won me." Mr. Schall while studying at the University of Minnesota won the northern oratorical contest, securing honors for Minnesota for the first time against seven other states. But his oratory won him more than honor. It won him the admiration of Margaret Huntley, a Minneapolis girl then in her junior college year. Next day they were introduced and two years later were married, and they have been married twelve years. He is thirty-seven, and she is thirty-five. Seven years ago while lighting a cigar with an electric lighter Mr. Schall received a shock that destroyed his sight. The wife had to become his eyes. She went into his law office, read his books to him, wrote his letters and guided his physical as well as his mental footsteps. Then came the determination to strive for congress. Mr. Schall is a Progressive, and the territory of the new district is said to be normally Republican and Democrat in this field was the task undertaken by Schall and his wife. He went into the campaign the first week alone. It ended with him almost exhausted and discouraged. His wife put her neck in the political yoke. She sat at the wheel of his automobile and guided his steps. She prepared his meals. She attended smokers and dinners with him. Wherever he went his wife was by his side. The result was told in a flattering plurality. And Mrs. Schall modestly tried to disclaim credit for her share in the success, but her husband insists: "Through her I must see the world. She is the light of my life." THIS SQUASH IS A WHALE. That is its Name, and It Weighs Forty-two Pounds. Battle Creek, Mich.—One of the vegetables that weren't sold at the city market was a huge squash of the "whale" variety weighing forty-two pounds and measuring nearly a yard long and twenty-nine inches in circumference. The manmoth squash was exhibited by Frank Imus, who owns a farm in Battle Creek township, three quarters of a mile west of Battle Creek. The squash is "Whale" by name and whale by nature. Mr. Imus has other squashes that weigh as much as 100 pounds, but none measures as long as the yard long one. The "Whale" squash is better for pies than for use as a vegetable, though it is not as watery as the regular pie pumpkin its flesh is golden, and the shell is nearly as hard as the Hubbard squash. The vines bear heavily, many of them having several large squashes on the same vine. YOU RIDE THE APPEAL PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER 49 E. 4th Street, St. Paul, Minn. ST.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1914 STANDING TOGETHER FOR RIGHT. The unanimity with which the Colored press endorsed the action of William Monroe Trotter in his protest against segregation was remarkable. Only two or three editors of small caliber, who evidently have some personal grievance, against Mr. Trotter, abused the man who has against tremendous odds done battle for the rights of the race. These sore head publishers of papers of little influence will not be able to do much harm. What they have said is more than off-set by strong Southern Democratic newspapers which have rebuked the President for his action. Two Kentucky newspapers were especially strong against governmental segregation. The Louisville Courier Journal: "The Courier Journal agrees with the New York World that the segregation business over in Washington spells rather small. During fifty years, including two Democratic Presidential terms there was no thought of separating the black and white official sheep. Why should the suggestion meet the assent of anybody now. "The segregation order should be revoked. It has no real cause or interest to back it. The issue should not have been raised. Let Mr. Wilson take matters further into his own hands, and restore the status quo." Says the Lexington Herald: "We regret that the President has again permitted himself to display irritation to those who went to him as Chief Executive of the Nation, and refused answer questions put to him about the treatment of public employees. "For the second time he has permitted himself to lose his temper when confronted by a delegation of citizens, asking him to take action about a matter which is embarrassing to them. "The humblest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the law the law equal to the most power- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes c The human race h test.

The women who were striving to secure equal suffrage approached him he took, and he expressed the negative that every public citizen but no public official has the right to exercise the display of temper, and a declaration that he must refuse to be catechized. For the second time he has permitted himself to lose his temper when confronted by a delegation of citizens asking him to take action about a matriarch passing to him. A number of Negroes, representing various Negro organizations, asked the segregation of Negroes in the departments at Washington. The spokesman said that he did not come to him to ask charity, but as American citizens to demand equal treatment to that accorded other American citizens. The spokesman states is presumed to be the servant of the all the people; he is not the master, but the servant. Under the proper that the subjects should appear to believe "the king can do wrong" and, therefore, refrain from criticism or from questioning. In a Republic there is no justification for any such belief. The President is, as is every public official, the servant of those who elect him, paid by them to administer. Every human being, whether a servant or a master, is entitled to courteous consideration and should be safe from personally offensive criticism. So the President and every other public servant should be subject only to that criticism which is just and proper, uttered in a courteous manner. But as every other servant, is the subject of proper criticism and has not the right to refuse to answer proper questions upon the ground of offended dignity. It is peculiarly fortunate that he should give the exhibitions of offended dignity upon occasions when women, who have not a vote, and Negroes, who are the weaker race, are those who appeal to him. If he believes that the policy of segregation should be adopted by the United States Government so as stating frankly and giving his reasons therefore. If he believes that the policy of segregation should be adopted by the people of the United States are composed, should each be segregated, he has a right so to believe and so state. Has he a right as President, to act in accord with that belief? Does the President of the United States believe that as a mater of governmental policy, citizens of African extraction should be treated differently from Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic or Latin extraction? Is the President of the United States the officer of the greatest republic in the world, that has opened its doors as an express of all nations, willing to stand before the peoples of the earth as giving the sanction of his great personality and high office to the perpetuation of race prejudice? Is it to be the policy of the government of the people, by the people, for the people, that any race is to be set aside as distinguished from another? Is the President willing to have himself quoted as authority and cited as an example by those of lower order and more brutal institutes, who in states where there are a large number of persons of different races have pitted one class above the law and another of different color beyond the protection of the law? At what point will the government as government stop the segregation of different races? As we conceive the purpose of this government it is to treat every person before the eyes of the law—black or white, red or yellow, Jew or Gentile, Pride or whatever the breed, whatever the creed matters not, at least should matter not to the public official charged with the duty of serving all the people. The humblest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the law the full equal of the most powerful citizen of the purge Anglo-Saxon law the full equal of the most powerful citizen of the purge Anglo-Saxon law the public male elected by the people, paid by the people, owes to the humblest citizen the same power and the same treatment accorded to the most powerful. Neither breed nor creed militar nor vocation should determine the treatment accorded to a citizen by a servant. We are distressed that the President has allied himself with those who believe in the perpetuation of race prejudice and justify race passion. As a private citizen he has the right to determine his own course; as a public official, the highest office the greater the obligation to act with justice and treat with patience those who must look to the public officer for the protection of the law. It is but a step in descent from the position taken by those public officials. Washington who segregate one race to the public official in a Southern state who elect officer a judge for his course. The mob of the South that lynches in the night is but a step further than the official order that segregates because of color in the day. ful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon effort on the part of the Colored people, themselves, should be made descent. "It is but a step in descent from the position taken by those public officials in Washington who segregate one race to the public official in a Southern state who advocates lynch law. The example of the higher official will be cited by the lower official as justification for his course. The mob of the South that lynches in the night is but a step further than the official order that segregates because of color in the day." When Southern Democratic daily newspapers have the moral courage to write such strong editorials demanding justice for the race it ought to make the cowardly colored curses that condone jimcrowish hide their heads in shame.

We make this appeal at this time because it has been ascertained by us from the highest authority in the Nation that it is the policy of the Federal Government to draw the color line, to make what the newspapers of the country denounce and denounce as "Jim Crow Government," in which one sort of citizen it considered to be, as Chief Taney declared it in 1856, "so thin that they may not associate together in the same governmental service, nor hold employments that place them in authority over another sort of citizens, but that they are segregated in the work places, in the Government departments and in the Rowan M.

The contention set up by those highest in authority that the segregation we just complain of and protest against is not political in character and works no forfeiture of citizen rights, and is not supposed nor intended to be degrading and humiliating in its operations, is an interpretation which do not accept, and which we do not believe fair-minded American citizens will be degraded and fair or to fair us, as such segregation is nowhere justified by the Federal law, nor our common Christian Faith, nor by the history of the persecuted Jews in the past two thousand years; and, withal, it is a reflection upon our common tell us bluntly that we are incapable of feeling such segregation to be degrading and humiliating, our nervous sensitivities having been sharpened rather than blunted by the policy of segregation and negation of us practiced in the administration of the Government during the past two years. The questions raised are not only political in character, but vitally and essentially political, and we believe the Nation will so construe them, even as we do. Segregation Policy Will Extend to Other Race Groups. We believe this Nation is passing through both a physical and spiritual crisis and that the issues of life and death will be decided ultimately, when the people of the Nation shall be called upon in the usual way, to pronounce judgement for or against the responsible Government at Washington in its unrightful actions, in ignoring against the citizenship of the country on account of race and color; in policy of discrimination that can, and will be it adopted, extended indefinitely to the one hundred and one race groups that compose the national population. Appeal Against it to God and Our Fellow-Men. In conclusion we appeal from the announced policy and practices of our Government to the God who made us, and to our fellow citizens, who love justice and detest injustice, "the canker and the worm" that out of the life of Nations, in the firm belief that we shall not appeal in valu. TROTTER'S SPECIFIC DENIAL OF INSOLEENCE TO PRESIDENT. Interview in Boston Globe of Nov. 17, 1914. William Monroe Trotter, whose remarks on segregation in Government departments stirred President Wilson at a hearing in the White House last afternoon, and, after denying anything offensive either in his speech or manner, told of the way in which the report of the hearing was given to the president. "As we left the President," said Mr. Trotter, "I told him I was very sorry if he still considered that I had offended him. The President smiled and said: 'O, we'll call it all right.'" He said he had caused in Sec. Tumulty's room as to what we should say for the newspapers. I told the newspaper men briefly about the conference, merely describing it as a warm affair. White House when Mr. Tumulty called me back and said: "Trotter, you violated every courtesy of the White House in quoting the President to the press." I told Mr. Tumulty that I had done in ignorance of the rules, and apologized. He accepted my apology. Then I asked the newspaper not to publish what I told them, and they replied that Mr. Tumulty said he was satisfied and I left. White House Statement Issued. "The report of the conference was then given out from the White House. It seems very peculiar to me, after the President had told me everything was all right, that a White House official had told me that I had offended the President of the United States." Did Not Lose Temper or Catechize? "I want to say," he continued, "that neither in manner, language, tone nor in any other way was I discourteous, impertinent or insolent to President Wilson. Whole attitude was that of endeavoring, on the spur of the moment, to answer a piece of masterful sophistry and to refute it successfully and feeling a great responsibility to do so, I spoke with positiveness, deliberateness and directness, looking the President. I did not quiz or catechize the President, and I did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty did not come until the President had been permitted to declare for segregation of my race and to say that I should be held accountable for influence and so represent it to my race. "Although it was a trying ordeal to listen, taq such a statement at length by the Chief Executive of the Nation, who was also the temper, much less lost my temper." DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS HEAD? (From the Philadelphia Press.) It looks as though the result of the last week's meetings nerves and made him unreasonably irritable. In no other way can we account for the extreme sensitivity and quirkyresentation which he exhibited. He was also chairman of a delegation of Colored men undertook to show him that Colored employees were unfairly disrespectful to some of the executive departments. There is nothing in Mr. Trotter's remarks as reported which discloses any ground for the President's resentment. Possibly the speaker's manner and aggressive and aggressive to suit the President. He turned on him as he once before turned on the woman suffrage delegation whose assertions and arguments were not to his taste and drove the President into making the absurd statement that he was not at liberty to vote. He had no place in the National Democratic platform. He told Trotter that the Colored people were segregated in the departments to avoid friction. But there was no friction until Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson got into the Cabinet and began to enforce in their deference to the principle of the Jim Crow law. The segregation practiced is wrong in principle because it is disagreeable and unfair to one class of public employees who have a right to be treated by their Government without discrimination. The race affected had a right to be heard in their own behalf and showed a proper spirit in going directly to the President for their grievance. We fear that the President lost his head. He is certainly not so hard to these extempore statements, made under the irritation that so easily besets him as in his more studied deliverances which compel the admiration of his political opponents and often skillfully covered up the fallacies of his reasoning character of the policy he is commending. THE COLOR LINE VEXES THE PRESIDENT. (From New York Evening Mail.) It is hard to discover, in the rather fully published reports, any sufficient reason for the President's resentment toward him to abolish the policy of several Cabinet officers in drawing the color line in the Federal departments. The subject under discussion was the cause of the customs of fifty years and the customs of institution in establishing "Jim Crow" government. If the spokesman of the Equal Rights League waxed warm in urging the cause of his race, it is not wondered at. That he overstepped the bounds of propriety is not shown. That the President was vexed is all that appears in the published record. If any adequate reason for his exaction was supplied by Mr. Troter, it would surely have been disclosed. That there was reason for the President's ill temper is quite true, but it was supplied by the Cabinet members or the narrow-minded policy of segregated colored employees from white jobholders. The incident recalls the similar vexation shown by the President when he abruptly dismissed an equal suffrage delegation on June 30 on the ground that he could not "submit to cross-examine" him. When a man is right, he usually will listen patiently to the other side; when he knows he is wrong he is very likely to fly off the handle. TELEGRAM TO PRESIDENT WILSON BY DR. W. SINCLAIR, UNABLE TO BE PRESENT WITH DELEGATION. Unavoidable circumstances make it impracticable for me to join the delegation as field secretary of the conference of states who are to present a memorial you on Thursday, the 12th inst., invoking your intervention against the segregation of government employees on the ground of race or color. You fully submit that such segregation violates the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, forces colored employees, degrades of Colored institutions, is subservient of American institutions, contravenes every principle of righteousness and justice and is a shameful reproach to our Christian nation, which represents not the ideals of freedom ideals of slavery. We pray that you as the Christian President of this free and Christian nation will use your knowledge that there are more than amply sufficient to remedy this foul blot from our civilization.

You wrote to Writer. Never has Mr. Wm. Willerson congratulated you on such a display of moral courage, answering loyalty and genuine Americanism. JOHN E. MILHOLLAND. Leading Daily Newspapers of the Country Rebuke the President for Condoning the Jim Crow Policy, of the Southern Members of His Cabinet. NO JIM-GROW GOVERNMENT. (From the New York World.) No President ever suffered more from the foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet than has Mr. Wilson. He had a further illustration of it yesterday in his unfortunate interview with a delegation of colored men to protest against the segregation of races in Government departments. The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying a campaign for democratic government. Mr. Wilson, the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the colored clerks, but explained that he had been informed that the race had been started to avoid friction between the races, and not with the object of injuring the colored men." The President failed to explain, nevertheless why no such rule had been considered, and Mr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet. For nearly half a century white clerks and colored clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington, under republican and under democratic presidents. The World keeps itself fairly well informed about Washington affairs, but the first time a clerk in a alleged friction to which William offers was when mr. McAdoo began his creeings in the Treasury. Department The president thinks that this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating, and in- American in government, is not a political question. Servants of the United States Government, regardless of race or color. For several years a colored man has been Collector of Internal Revenue for York. He never found it necessary to segregate the white employees of his department to prevent "friction"; yet he would have had quite as much right to do so as Mr. McAdoo had to segregate the colored members of the Treasury in Washington. While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few members of the Cabinet have been able to solve petty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact justice. Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation was promulgated as a deliberate discrimination against colored employees. Worse still, it is a small, mean, petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow government the moment it was established. He is to set his heel upon it now. It is a republic's administration and to the great political principles which he represents. THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGATION. {From the New York Evening Post.} It is a sad blot upon the Wilson Administration that it has tolerated, nay, drawn the color one, without real cause, save, as Mr. Trotter truthfully said, the racial antipathies of Messrs. Burke, Burke's liams and McAdon. For an Administration which talks about a New Freedom and boasts of having bestowed a new liberty upon business men, not only to be blind to the wrongs of full American citizens, but to add all the mischiefs discouraging Mr. Wilson can feel keenly governmental wrongs of the "submerged 85 per cent" of the people of Mexico, of whom so many are Indians and of a mixed parentage, but he has yet to say a really sympathetic word to the wrongs of the millions in the South who do not voice in their own government. The difficulty lies, of course, in putting yourself in the other fellow's place, in having some appreciation of what it means to be the victim of what it means to be wrong without the power to remedy wrong. That Mr. Wilson is unable to visualize this is, we repeat, the more disappointing because there are so many injured persons with whom he must deal, and in standing, His unusual vision and imminent leave him, however, when it comes to the disfranchisement of women and to permitting his subordinates to inflict indignities upon American citizens, he must be one of White House. If he could only be one of the submerged 10 per cent of our people in Washington for forty-eight hours he could never have palliated the wrong done, as he is reported to have done, by saying that segregation was enforced on him, and the interests of both races, in order to overcome friction. He would know then that it makes neither for the comfort nor for the best interests of the people, and it likely leads to added friction and creases lasting unhappiness among the segregated. This problem has vexed him and caused him heart-ache more than once in his Administration, and it will not be to plunge him to he lay down the power to us in equality of treatment of all employees in the Government service. Again, Mr. Wilson is reported to have resented Mr. Trotter's statement that if this discrimination were not ended, the Afro-Americans who voted in the 2010 election conducted a ticket, and have declared that this was "political blackmail." But this is the time-honored American way of showing disapproval of an elective candidate for President. Mr. Wilson was a candidate for President in he declared: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for every advantage I could assist in advancing the interest of the United States. On the strength of this many colored people and their white friends advocated Mr. Wilson's cause, who would rather have cut off his son if they had known that he was intending to draw the color line in the departments upon the excuse that there is a certain point in the relations of the races where friction must be avoided, the absolute fair dealing not adversely because, but putting it back, because it sets the stamp of governmental approval upon color prejudice. To expect after this that the problem can be solved by politics, as Mr. Wilson is quoted as urging, is to expect the impossible. With Mr. Wilson's feelings as to the ultimate solution of the race problem, we are not today concerned. He may or may not have a constructive solution. We simply whether a hateful East Indian estate shall be established in Washing- ton or not. We had supposed, after the investigations of last winter, that the vicious policy had been checked; we understood that it was to be abandoned in numerous instances the Jim-Crowning incident has been stopped. The more discouraging it is to find the President apparently upholding what the World just calls the "foolish indiscretions of members" of the United States. There was no genuine complaint in Washington. Colored and white employees had worked side by side for fifty years. Some of them had been appointed by Grover Cleveland—one of his appointees to high place beware of the Fifty-fifth Massachusetts. But the Wilson Administration went out of its way to create the issue it now deplores, and cannot see its way clear to admitting its mistake and re-asserting only defensible position of absolute equality in the Government service. ```markdown ``` The way to deal with race prejudice in such matters is not to enhance it by yielding, but resolutely to conceive it with a refusal to give in. It is surprising how much prejudice away in a given situation when it finds itself wholly blocked. It is even more surprising how frequently it is merely a state of wind. Often there is no objection whatever to the presence of colored people on the most familiar side of the street, but it is clearly stamped as mental; let them deeply aspire to equal privileges, and those same people become at once too offensive to be permitted to breathe the same atmosphere. The situation in Washington would be restored in a separate, absolutely satisfactory status; if the same authority were simply to lay down the law that there was going to be a square deal for everybody in the departments without the slightest disjunction, that there can be only one dissatisfactory policy—all to be treated with courtesy, consideration, and absolute justice. THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGA TION. (From The Indianapolis News.) The government, which makes laws for the state, from all, and summons all alike to from all, and time of war, cannot rightly make such distinctions. When men and women enter the public service they must be competent to the principle. No one is compelled enter it, but having made his choice he should comply with the conditions of his employment. It is not wholly economic, as Mr. Wilson seemed to think it was—it is political as well, not in the narrow partisan, but in the broad sense. The people of the United States, by their government, oppose the adoption by their government what thing resembles the Jim Crow policy. THE PRESIDENT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN. We are not ready to conclude that any body of citizenship has less standing under the law than any other. If the south wishes to make any such issue as this it will find that the north, where there is prejudice, is nevertheless restless when as a part of the state we declare that the main principle of the nation is a piece of hypocrisy and does not apply where it is inconvenient. DR. SPINGARN'S SECOND TOUR Well-Known White Advocate of Justice to Tour Country Again. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and one of the most conspicuous leaders in justice and equal rights for Afro-American students to make a second tour of the country in the interests of the cause of our race. It will be remembered that last summer addressed meetings in Detroit, Chicago, Topeka, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Cleveland, attracting very large audiences wherever he went, and nearly everywhere winning wide publicity in the United States for the cause of justice to the Negro. Dr. Springarn will speak at Wilmington, Delaware, on November 22nd, at Howard University, Washington, D.C. on November 23rd, and at Harrisonburg, Pa. on November 24th. His main tour, which will be the next January, and he then expect visits in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Dayton, Columbus, Springfield, St. Joseph, Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, and other cities. He hopes by succeeding tours to cover every country and to carry his burning mission, the whole nation. All those who are interested in his coming tour, which like all his other work for our race is carled on entirely at his own expense, can obtain further information from the National Nerney, secretary of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Dr. Spingarn was for twelve years Professor of Comparative Literature in Columbia University, New York, and he is a writer and scholar of Indian literature.

Northwestern Trust Co,, 138 En- dicot Arcade—Auvertisement, ; “Beer ' Pact.” | Professor Charles Frederick Chana- ler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, declares that beer is the best brain food.? In a recent ad- dress he said: “Beer is a beverage prepared from barley, water, hops and yeast. Beer is food. American beer contains 6 per cent solid food, oniy 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is real brain food. Beer and bread both made from cer- eals; bread with water and is solid; beer with more water and ts liquid. Yeast converts both into palatable and readily digested food. Both contain alcohol. Beer is not intoxicating in ordinary quantities and beer is one of the foods that is tree from bac- teria, It {s appetizing and aids di- gestion. I don’t believe there is any beer made in the United States that is whet you call adulterated. It may be misbranded, but not adulterated. If the prohibitionists drive beer from the household they will deprive a large part of the population of a wholesome article of food.” ‘The Valet Tailoring Co. The Valet Tailoring Co., 154 E.

Painting, Plumbing, Paper-Hanging, Plastering, Brick and Concrete Work (Special to the Guardian.) Providence, R. I. At last the decision of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. has been handed down and it resolved itself into a very resolution which was set forth in a resolution offered to the committee on membership, which was as follows: The Victory. The Providence Journal published the following report: That no distinction because of race or sect will be considered in receiving applications for membership in the Providence Young Men's Christian Association was the decision reached by the board of directors of that institution at a meeting held last evening. This action was taken by the directors because of objections from some persons to the admission of Colored men to membership in the organization and particularly in the many advantages offered by the new building. As soon as it became known that objection had been offered the matter was taken by different colored organizations and other interested parties and the directors were urged to take action. Following is a statement given out by the directors after last evening's meeting: The Note. "The Providence Young Men's Christian Association for more than 60 years has served the young men and boys of our city in a broad and liberal spirit, making no distinction in receiving applications for membership because of race or sect. We believe that the only test of eligibility must continue to be as it always has been, character and moral worth, and that by such standards of selection the MR. WIILSON AND "SEGREGATION." New York—To the Editor of THE APPEAL. Sir: The interview of William Munroe Trotter and the delegation of colored gentlemen with the President of the United States brings forward again the burning question of the treatment of colored civil servants of the Washington. The whole incident shows grimly and forcefully the colored people of this country feel the injustice which Mr. Wilson's government has inflicted upon them and still inflicts. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been fighting segregation in federal departments ever since the first rumor of it was made public. Over a year ago an investigator was sent to Washington to investigate. Since that time a representative of the civil service association has kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one occasion this representative appeared before the civil service committee and helped kill the bill of Edwards of Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana making segregation legal throughout the federal civil service. Much of the segregation has disappeared. The segregation of the postoffice in Washington has abolished all the colored men employed best their positions, but through the intervention of this association three association will exemplify its high ideals. We therefore believe it is sufficient for this board to declare that no reason exists for any change in the principles which have heretofore governed the association in its requirements for membership." And we demand Mr. Hawkins resignation, we seem to believe that if Mr. Hawkins could be bound by that he would send in his resignation and not wait until it was asked for. We hope that he will remember that he is in Providence and not in the South nor West; now let the board of directors exact of Mr. Hawkins an explanation of his actions which has caused them to be held up to the ridicule of the world. This was one of the times when the board of the united in an effort and they should be given much credit for their united stand. They are very illiquid over the victory. The fight was led by Rev. J. H. Wiley and Rev. S. W. Smith for the New England Suffrage League and Mr. J. C. Minkins, Rev. J. Harrison and Dr. Robinson for the N. A. A. C. P. Board. We have gathered our membership. We hope that every reader of the Guardian will read the letter from the pen of M. E. L. Slingen, a white man, to the Providence Sunday Journal and see if you think that all our friends are dead. We wish to say to those who live in towns and cities where segregation is present, to say to your might and if you need any points, we will gladly give you the benefit of our experience here. Respectfully, S. W. SMITH. of them were reinstated. When the bureau of engraving and printing moved to its new quarters it was the original idea to segregate colored and white people throughout the entire building, but through the efforts of this association there is no segregation in the lunchrooms or on the roof. Segregation, nevertheless, still exists in the Treasury Department and in the Treasury, and possibly here and there in a small degree in other places. It still remains true that for the first time in half century a President of the United States and distinguished members of his Cabinet have deemed it necessary for the peace and quiet the federal services that clerks in the federal services have made same examinations and record the same rate of pay, must be separated in their work if the ancestors of any of them had a drop of Negro blood. In some cases the "colored" clerks have been so white in appearance that the officials themselves have made mistakes in classifying them. In other cases clerks of all colors have protested against the attempted separation of the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. E.
