VOL. 31, NO. 5 PRISON REFORMS PROVE A SUCCESS PRISONERS TREATED AS MEN Believes In Doctrine of Rewarding Convicts For Their Good Deeds Instead of Punishing Them For Their Faults—Golden Rule Brotherhood Handles Cases of Misconduct. New York.—When a wealthy philanthropist was made warden of Sing Sing prison, the largest jail in the world, and given a free rein to institute reforms which would better the standard of convicts, the nation watched closely, for it realised that another step in prison reform was about to be made. Thomas Mott Osborne, long a student of modern jails, was particularly well fitted for the place. He himself had served a term in prison as an experiment. For about a month he lived the life of a convict, worked with them with them and slept in a cell simply in order to gain an insight into the real conditions. And after several months' experiment he says: "The prisoners are being treated like human beings. We have got rid of brutality because we realize that the prisoners are men, weak in spots perhaps, but we don't know what we would have done if we had been in their place. "The prisoners' court, conducted by the prisoners themselves, does not send men to the dark cells, but suspends them from the League or Golden Rule Brotherhood for any disobedience. --- ? have found that the prisoners do not like to be disciplined by their fellow prisoners. They have a pride that makes them strive to avoid that. The punishment which the league metes out is suspension from the league, shown by a black band on the prisoners' coat, which means that he is debarred from the entertainments provided under the auspices of the league. "We have just smashed rules at Sing Sing-and I love to smash rules. The prisoners have done the rest. They have shown that they appreciate being treated with common sense, which means that they are being treated as human beings. They are allowed to do their work without constant surveillance that means slavery. They get every day an hour of recreation and complete freedom in the yard and are permitted to talk to one another without using the grunt language, a device resorted to by prisoners to speak to one another when the guards were near. "Now, I want to show you that the men appreciate that sort of treatment." Mr. Osborne pulled two $1 bills and a silver half dollar from his pocket. "You see that?" he asked. "Well, we had 140 members of the Brooklyn Civic club at the prison, and one prisoner was assigned to every two visitors to show them about the place. I told the visitors not to give the prisoners any money, as it is against the law. Well, here is $2.50 which the visitors slipped to the guides and which was handed back to me by the prisoners themselves. At least twelve prisoners that I know of refused money that was offered to them. One prisoner said. "Well, if you want to help us out, give it to the brotherhood." "We have taken the guards from their stationary positions in the workshops and have left the prisoners to work on their honor. The result has been that in the shoeshop, for instance, twice as many shoes were turned out by the same number of men last month as in the previous month. The same increase holds in the other shops. You see, when the officers were constantly on hand watching the men the prisoners were watching them, and they were keen enough to know ten minutes ahead of time just what those guards were going to do. They have the schoolboy love of bucking the teacher, and when you removed the guard you did away with the incentive for loafing." WIFE IS ASSISTANT GOVERNOR Mrs. Carlson of Colorado Will Look After Laws Relation to Woman After Laws Reating to Women. Denver - Mrs. George A. Carlson wife of the new governor of Colorado, has assumed her duties as "assistant governor," a position made for her by her husband. She will have charge of legislation pertaining to women and children. Her decision in such matters, the governor has announced, will result in his veto or signature. Mrs. Carlson is well equipped for such work, as she was trained for teaching and besides has an intimate knowledge of law and political economics. She is at the statehouse each day and says that her husband appointed her his assistant because he thinks a woman's views are necessary on laws affecting women and children. In addition to handling this side of the government of the state, Mrs. Carlson holds conferences with women who are interested in constructive legislation. To reporters Mrs. Carlson said: "I leave a large part of my boys training to Mr. Carlson, and he leaves the training of the girls of the family to me. Following the same theory, he believes I am better fitted to look after the needs of the women and children of the state than he, a man. "Don't you think that a woman who is competent to be the mother of four children is competent to have a hand in the affairs of a state? I do. "I am glad that my husband wants my help, and I hope I shall be of real service to the women. Of course he and I shall consult together. We always have." CONVICTS WORK AT OWN JOBS Wisconsin Town Only Requires Them to Report at Jail at Night Racine. Wis.-The city's manner of handling prisoners detained at the county jail is attracting widespread attention. The Commercial club is in receipt of communications from various large cities in the middle west seeking particulars as to the novel plan now in force here. The scheme is for the sheriff to allow prisoners to continue their daily pursuits, only requiring them to report for the night at the lockup. If the prisoner has a family his earnings are turned over to his dependents, but if not he is given his earnings at the end of his term of service. The sheriff has been instrumental in procuring positions for prisoners who had no employment. The method practically leaves the jail uninhabited by prisoners through the day. AVIATOR GILBERT IS CHAMPION OF FRANCE Three Times He Has Defeated German Dirigibles. Paris.—An official report of recent aerial fighting given out by the French war office relates the exploits of M. Gilbert, the famous aviator. Gilbert gained fame in 1911 by fighting an eagle in the air when taking part in the Paris-Madrid race, in which he finished second. He also has held the records for altitude and long distance flying. The account says: "Pilot Gilbert, with Lieutenant de Puechredon as observer, was returning from a reconnaissance near Chaulnes on Jan. 10 when they caught sight of a German machine flying toward Amiens. They gave chase without being noticed. "Not far from Amiens they overtook the German machine and cut across its path. The French observer fired four shots from his rifle, two of which hit the German observer, Lieutenant Falkenstein (not Lieutenant von Falkenhay, son of the German chief of staff, as previously reported). "The third bullet wounded the German pilot, Miller, in the neck, and the fourth pierced the radiator. The wounded pilot went to the ground immediately and was taken prisoner. "This is the third time Sergeant Gilbert, who already has received the military medal, has brought down a hostile machine." German aeroplanes are said to be distributing the following manifesto on the Russian lines: "God has abandoned your standard. The bloody sacrifices you have made are useless. Hundreds of thousands of your best and most valiant troops have fallen on the battlefield. "Now a new enemy more powerful and dangerous has declared war on your czar. Islam has declared a holy war against you and your allies. You have lost the game. Four hundred million men devoted to the law of Mohammed today reply to the call for a holy war. "Friends, demand peace while there is yet time." WELSH PHEASANT BY MAIL Custom House Men Pass Bird Twelve Days on the Way. St. Paul.—A pheasant killed in Wales was examined by custom house men at the St. Paul postoffice recently. The bird was wrapped up in a wicker sack and was in fair condition, although it had been on the way twelve days. The English game bird was addressed to a woman in Minneapolis, and the custom house men, after finding no duty was due, hastened it on its way. The parcel was mailed in Carnarvon, Wales. LONDON FULL OF WAR SPIRIT. Soldiers and Recruits March Everywhere or Drill In Parks. London.-Two months ago a London newspaper described England as "mation half awake" and contrasted the unruffled aspect of London life with the transformation that war had cast over Paris and Berlin. Since then England has become fully awake. This awakening has been more of an inner than a surface change, and only those who know England from within can realize how great the change has been. The most remarkable feature of recent British events has been the entire absence of excitement with which the country has passed from a condition of profound and thoughtless peace to a military status which pervades all the activities of life and seems almost to have brought upon the scene a harder and sober nation. Sports, politics, "society"—the three absorbing interests of the population three months ago—have disappeared from the columns of newspapers, from the talk of the people, and have almost vanished from existence. All that is left of the absorbing passion for sport is the football games, and a majority of the first class professional teams are drilling in the territorials and Kitchener army. And it would be a brave man of military age who would be seen carrying his bundle of golf sticks on the street these days. Streets and trains everywhere are filled with soldiers. Khaki is conspicuous in all the restaurants, the gilded and the cheap, and military equipment and uniforms fill the shop windows. Recruits are drilling in all the parks, in public squares, on the lawn of the Temple, where barristers work and live, in all the little open spaces among the stately law courts and in the courtyard of the National academy, sacred to art and science. Small boys accounted with paper caps, wooden guns and tin drums also are everywhere. EDUCATE ONLY THE FIT, SAYS DR. BUTLER President of Columbia Urges Physical Examination. New York.-If you would be a university student first prove that your muscles are good, your heart action right and your lungs sound. This is the new idea advanced by President Nicholas Murray Butler of Photo by American Press Association Columbia university in his annual report. It is more than a suggestion. President Butler presents the physical examination as an obligation in these words: "The university is expending each year out of its endowment income immense sums to supplement the fees paid for tuition, in order to provide the best possible facilities for college and university instruction. "The university owes it to the public and to itself to see to it that these colossal expenditures are made only upon and in the interest of those who are really fit physically, as well as mentally, to take advantage of the opportunities the university has to offer and to make appropriate return to the community in the form of personal and social service." A certificate of good health is now required in Columbia college, but President Butler favors a more rigid physical examination. He likens it to "that insisted upon in the case of candidates for admission to the military and naval academies maintained by the government of the United States." As is well understood, a relatively large proportion of the applicants for admission at Annapolis and West Point are refused as not physically fit. Pumpkin Weights 100 Pounds. Atchison, Kan.—S. J. Blyte, a farmer, living just across the river, brought to this city a 100 pound pumpkin that is now on exhibition at a local bank. The pumpkin is as large as a bushel basket. Defective Page --- QUAKE VICTIMS DRIVEN INSANE Survivors Menaced by Madmen, Wandering Aimlessly Around the Ruins. Young Woman's Fiance Worked All Day to Rescue Han, but Gries Gradually Become Inaudible. Rome.—Maniacs roaming aimlessly about, menacing the sane survivors, half wild dogs and bands of wolves prowling amid piles of bodies, men tearing frantically but in vain at heaps of wreckage from which came the faint and gradually weakening cries of their loved ones, women and children dying of starvation and exposure, scores of old and young perishing beneath great heaps of ruins from which the utmost efforts of the rescuers were unable to drag them in time—these were some of the terrible stories from the government officials in charge of the relief work in the area devastated by the recent earthquake. One of the men made mad by the catastrophe killed an injured survivor who reproached him for looting a ruined wine shop. Scores of men and women, crazed by grief and hardship, wandered about the country, a danger to the living, for whose adequate protection even the thousands of soldiers on the scene were insufficient. One of the most pitiful cases reported here is that of a young man, whose fiances, buried in the ruins, called out to him to save her if he loved her. All day he had been digging desperately at the wreckage, aided by the soldiers, who were moved to tears by his grief. Despite their great efforts there was no hope of saving the girl, and her voice gradually became inaudible. The same young man had previously saved himself, his mother and his sisters from underneath the walls of his fallen home, but could not find his aged father. Strangers were not allowed to approach the towns and villages in the stricken area, where the work of rescue went on without cessation. The task of digging out those alive in the ruins and of taking care of the injured survivors and feeding those who are unhurt was so great that attempts to bury the thousands of bodies were abandoned, and they were piled up in great heaps awaiting the moment when there were no more to save. A royal commissioner assumed charge of the earthquake area and ordered the soldiers not to dig into the ruins unless they heard the moans or cries of victims. Officers were specifically detailed to find out the most likely spots for excavation. In Avezano as a result of systematic exploration fifteen survivors were rescued. They were all thoroughly exhausted and badly injured, and several had to be operated upon, crushed arms and legs being amputated. The ruins are now terribly silent. The burial of the dead was hastened for sanitary reasons. Various reports from the soldiers show that scores of persons but the most marvelous escapes from death in the catastrophe. Under wrecked houses little children have been found alive, although nearly dead from exposure and cold, but absolutely unhurt by the crash of timber and masonry. The endurance of women and babies was remarkable, for many of them were in need only of food when saved after long ordeals, imprisoned in wreckage and with the dead bodies of their families buried in debris near them. The inhabitants of Balsorno and Raccaviva fled in a panic because of the immense crevasses splitting lengthwise the crest of Mount Pizzodetta, 6,100 feet high, due to the earthquake. The estimate of the number of dead remains in the neighborhood of 36,000 Fifty towns and villages have been destroyed. The following list of dead in damaged but not destroyed villages in the Sulmano district is now available: Scanno, 200; Villalago, 25; Raiano, 4; Popoli, 5; Pentina, 4; Barren, 12. The mortality in the country, where many farmhouses and buildings collapsed, has not been ascertained. In Avezzano three babies only slightly injured were taken from the ruins. Four other children, the eldest eleven, also were found. Although exhausted, they kept shouting until they were saved. They promised the soldiers who dug them out that their father would pay them, but he was found dead in the ruins near by. A girl who was saved uninjured from a neighboring building asked the soldiers whether it was dawn. She said she felt that she had slept a long time, but could not see the light. Eight rescues were the result of an entire day's work by 20,000 soldiers, which shows the enormity of the task which confronted the government. At isoladelliris the main church collapsed, but the statue of St. Restitua, the town's patron saint, was untouched and is intact, even to the finger on a hand which is raised in blessing. **Turks Surrender For Food.** Petrograd. — The Russians engaged against the Turks frequently move their kitchens to the first line, and at the first smell of food the Turks throw down their arms and surrender. HE WAS GUNNER FOR VILLA. Hoosier, Who Quit When United States Forces Came, Says Job Was Picnic. Kokomo, Ind.-George Hart, a Howard county youth, formerly of the United States army, veteran of the Philippines and who saw service in China, is home from Naco, Ariz. He has been operating a machine gun for the Villa forces across from Naco at $25 a week and board. He decided when Uncle Sam's guns were trained on the Mexican trenches it was time to leave. Wading the river, he was captured by American sentinels. General Bliss made arrangements for him to leave. Hart served under Villa in the battle of Torreon, but does not think the general as great a man as his troops, who idolize him. Hart says the Mexicans fight at long range, shoot awhile and rest, but refuse to come close together. Hart regards his service in the nature of a picnic. ENGINEERS LIVE 11 YEARS. Vital Statistics Presented at Western Railroad Wage Hearing. Chicago.—Dr. Henry J. Harris, a statistician of the Library of Congress at Washington, testified at the western railroad wage arbitration hearing that "the occupations conspicuous for their high death rates are, first, the miners and workers in stone and clay; second, the locomotive firemen; third, structural ironworkers, and, fourth, the locomotive engineers." Where the normal expectancy of death is 100 the actual deaths among firemen is 190, the witness said, and among engineers 160. Opposing counsel disputed the average life of engineers as engineers, but it was finally shown that it is between eleven and twelve years. Paris—The Japanese "foreign legion" now being raised voluntarily in Japan to re-enforce France on the firing line will be very welcome. It is admitted that such a volunteer force of the "little yellow men" tendering their services, us Lafnyette and his men did in the American Revolu- THE EMPEROR OF JAPAN. tionary war, will solve a knotty problem. Official participation by the regular Japanese army, under their regular officers and in every way on the same basis as the British, French and Belgians, might result in a serious complication. They might have to be paid, and Japan would be in a position to claim much of the credit for victory should her sons aid in finally crushing the German empire. But with the "foreign legion" coming at least one objection would be solved. These men are reported to be picked veterans of the Russo-Japanese war. They are to be equipped as few Japanese troops ever have been. It is rumored here that at their head will come one of Japan's greatest military geniuses, a man whose name will mean much to the allies. Not only will the "foreign legion" fight on French soil, but it is expected that the Japanese government will finally enter the war in the west as an active ally of Russia and England. There is said to be a growing sentiment in England to ask Japan to take over the protection of Egypt and India, thus releasing for active service against Germany the many British regiments now held idle in these two countries. Russia is said to have suggested that she would welcome an alliance which would permit the Japanese to take a position with the Russians on the dring line in East Prussia, in Galicia, in Hungary and elsewhere along the miles of battle front extending across the continent of Europe. Amsterdam.--The kaiser has ordered that untrained German reservists no longer act as guards of honor at the burials of prisoners of war because they need all their time to complete military training. CUTTERS SAVE 476 LIVES. Good Work of Revenue Service Told in the Annual Report. Washington—Revenue cutters of the United States saved 476 lives and gave assistance to 210 vessels, valued, with their cargoes, at more than $8,000,000 during the last fiscal year, according to a report to congress by Commandant E. P. Bertholf. For every dollar expended by the service it aided in saving property worth $3.72. Commandant Bertholf urges congress to appropriate $550,000 for a new cutter for the California coast, $110,000 for an anchorage patrol boat for use in New York harbor and $550,000 for a vessel for duty on the Panama canal. He renews his recommendation for the consolidation of the revenue cutter service and the life saving service into an organization to be known as the coast guard. “There is a consensus of opinion,” he says in this connection, “among all parties interested that this will add greatly to the efficiency of these humanitarian branches of the government.” The report points out that although there were no serious floods in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys during the year the previous recommendation for three light draft cutters to be used there in flood times should not be overlooked by congress. The appointment of twenty-one cadets for the fiscal year 1916 is recommended instead of fourteen, as at present. LEAP RESTORES MAN'S MIND. Insane Prisoner Jumps From Third Floor and Shock Gurps Him. Floor and Shock Curses Him. Superior. Wls. When John Anderson, a laborer, leaped from the third floor of a local hospital recently he was a lunatic. When he got up, carefully brushed the snow from his clothes and sauntered back into the hospital uninjured he was sane. Anderson was being detained in the hospital awaiting transportation to the State Hospital For the Insane. He worked his way out of a straitjacket before he made the leap. The shock restored him to normal mental condition. New York.--Probably the prettiest Cupid that ever participated in a love affair stepped down the gangway of the steamship Orduna the other evening. Later this Cupid, who, strange to say, is a girl and is known in real life as Jane Gall, set out for the sunny south on her mission of love, a mission that brings to light a pretty war romance. Many weeks ago Miss Ethel Chapman of S2 Peachtree street, Atlanta, gunned some socks for soldiers, in the toe of one of the socks she placed a note giving her name and address and the words "I'm lonesome." A few weeks later a Tommy Atkins--to wit, Sergeant Wallace Munro of the Black Watch--while attempting to don a new pair of socks in the trench's discovered the note. A short time later the sergeant fell with a bullet in his shoulder. In the hospital some days later he mealted the note and determined to write to the girl in Atlanta. He received a speedy reply, and in a short time Sergent Munro and Ethel Chapman were not only in love, but engaged. It was at this point in the proceedings Miss Jane Gail of New York paid a visit to the hospital and met the wounded sergeant. He confessed his love for the Atlanta girl and asked Miss Gall to be his proxy in the affair. He entrusted her with an engagement ring and a message. Miss Gall gave her word and will take the ring and the message to Atlanta. At the conclusion of the war, if he be still alive, Sergent Munro is coming to Atlanta to claim the sweetheart who had won him through the medium of a sock. "It's the grandest romance I ever heard of," said Miss Gall. "I can hardly wait until I meet Miss Chapman and deliver my message and the ring. And I am not going to tell you what the message is, either." PERILOUS TRIP OVER ICE. Ohio Motorsists Make Exciting Winter Ride Across Lake Erie. Sandusky, O.-Dr. J. B. Robinson and ex-Mayor T. B. Alexander, in an automobile owned by Mr. Alexander, and Emil Ruh, Captain L. E. Blackford and William Haas, in a machine owned by Mr. Ruh, narrowly escaped drowning several times while motorizing over the frozen surface of Lake Erie from the mainland near Port Clinton in Put-in Bay, where they reside. Several times the ice gave way under the machines, and but for the fact that they were driving fast all would have gone to the bottom, the men say. Raising Funds In Russia. Petrograd.—The Russian minister of finance expects to raise $7,000,000 by taxing nonfighters, those exempted for physical disability to be taxed if their incomes are over $500 and others no matter what their incomes. $2.40 PER YEAR: SUNDAY TELLS OF MODERN WOMEN Society Leaders Criticised, but Beautiful Tribute Is Paid the Old Fashioned Mother—His Peculiar and Sensational Tactics In Pulpit Have Moved Many to Join the Church. Washington.—The Rev. Billy Sunday, baseball evangelist, who has recently conducted revival services in this city and in Philadelphia, is perhaps the best known and most sensational pulpit orator in the country today. His addresses, always filled with slang, appeal to many persons, and many have been moved to join the church after listening to his sermons. Sunday's tactics in the pulpit, too, are different. Frequently he removes THE REV. BILLY SUNDAY his coat and collar during the discussion of some existing evil and jumps all over the platform, going so far as to mount the pulpit. In a most remarkable interview the other day the former professional baseball player discussed modern woman, modern man, modern customs and modern fashions, saying in part: "Some of the grandest, noblest women on the world ever saw are alive and at work today. They make you think that the lion he lost was the choiceest little corner lot in Adam's whole body. They're way up front on the firing line against the devil, and they potshot him every time he shows his head. They've got God in their hearts, and it's mighty lucky for the rest of that they have. I believe if the motherhood of this country was no better than the manhood God would dump the whole thing in hell. "Even in New York, that's going to hell so fast you can't see it for the dust, there are good, fine Christian women that go down on their knees every night in the good homes they've made and pray God to get after their city be fore it's too late. He can do it, you know. He can get it dead to rights, rotting, corroding, corrupt, devil ridden town that it is. He can move it, and how he will move it! "The mere society woman is the most useless being on earth. She has no occasion to use brains. All she thinks her body is for is to be a fashionable frame on which to hang fashionable garments and a digestive apparatus with which to gormandize upon all the vlans that a rich husband gives. Her daughter runs to dancing and embroidery and painting her face. If you kissed her you'd die of painter's collec. "About women of the smart set who are merely that, little can be said in justification. They are silly, frivolous, extravagant. They have thrown to the winds all modesty, prudence, religion and the virtues that are so attractive in women and have allowed themselves to be flattered, cajoled and bamboozed by a lot of jilted jays with cracked characters. They turn their homes into third rate gambling dens and booze joints." The steel blue eyes opened widely, a wrathful spark glinting in each. "The way in which a lot of women are permitted to dress today throws the spotlight squarely on our degeneracy" he exclaimed. "What with slit skirts and slit waists and transparencies and the rest, women act like they were trying to imitate the daughter of that old souse. Herod, who didn't wear clothes enough to make leggings for a humming bird. The dance craze is another thing I'd like to rip from hell to breakfast and back again. All dancing comes from the devil, and it's responsible for at least three-fourths of the immorality of women." And then Billy Sunday's eyes softened as he turned them in the direction of the untiring, capable and affectionate woman who has worked with him for so many years. "The true Christian woman who is her husband's companion and helpmate and her children's loving, conscientious mother, she's about the best," he said simply. "The modern girl and woman need to get right with God," said the Rev. Billy Sunday soberly. "God is outside the lives of too many girls of today. Their attitude toward religion is that they should worry—and they should, too, in the way that they don't mean. Let them get wise to themselves—and get right with God."

In “Dr. Crane's Editorial,” a very interesting feature of the St. Paul Dis- patch, expressed some proper senti- ments in regard to the recent lynching of the four Afro-Americans, two of whom were women, by the white mob of Georgia. Everyone knows, who knows anything about it, that these human beings—although they were black—had not committed a crime that deserved death as a punishment. ‘They were mob-murdered and all who participated in it were more criminals than thelr helpless victims. Says Dr. Crane, “Lynching is just one example of the great delusion under which mankind rests: that punishment stops crime.” It is entirely useless to point out to these persons the fact that since the foundation of the world such meth- ods have not abated evil.” “Whoever ‘elleves that pain, violence, or any form of punishment abates crime is in the same fog with the BRUTES who banged and riddled with bullets the two Negro women.” The crime for which these four people were mob: murdered was being born black. Dr. Crane says, “Cut out vengeance trom your hearts.” God says, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” So these Geor- gia mob-murderers have got “‘some- thing coming that they don’t expect.” “WHY JESUS WAS A MAN AND NOT A WOMAN.” ‘This book, which is just from the press is the third book by Mr. Tapp, in which he interprets the SexLaw of the Bible, His first book on the subject, “The Truth About The Bible” came from the press about two years ago. ‘About a year after that, his second book, “Sexology Of The Bible” followed.

It is not the proper function of the Government to draw lines of invidious distinction between its various classes of citizens and place on the statute books a law which in effect brands lone group of citizens as unfl, classing |it with 1mbectles, faiots, defectives, de | generates and criminals, | And then there is another point ot view. ‘The mixing which has already taken place has not resulted in de ‘generate specimens of manhood. ‘The first blood spilled in the Revolution ary Wer was that of a mixed-blood {Crispus Attucks.

Under the caption “Cowardice on the Platform,” the editor says: “No ace or people in the history of ctvilt zation ever endured a leadership of more consummate covpirds. The aver age 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 infilets upon him. When we speak of cowards, we do not mean physical cowards, but moral and intel lectual 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 acopets every Jimerow 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 but the Negro; there is nobody that kisses the nand that smites him but the Negro; there is no race so divided against it self and is such a consummate band of hootlickers, cowards and _sy- cophants as black educated leaders, What we need is a manly leadership — one full of moral courage and intel Jectual bravery. Men who will tell the race of indignities that they ought not to endure, and how they may rid themselves of the agencies that seok to crush and undo it Let us have a manly race; and we can only have a manly race by manly leadership.” ¥ “THE POWER OF AGITATION.” THE APPEAL is always ‘pleased to read in the columns of its Southern Afro-American contemporaries editor ials which may serve to inspire the race to always protest against wrong. In the article which folows, Mrs. Mag. sie .. Walker, the banker editor of St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Virginia, truly says, “When the spirit and pow. er 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 resus citation and redemption. So important is the power, that it is guaranteed to the people through the mandates of the Constitution of the United States. The colored man is not an agitator, nor hag 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 o1 peaceably assembling and making in- telligent 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 @ disappointed child, It is the agitation of the waters of the sea, which prevents stagnation and death. It is the agitation of the air which gives pure air to breathe. It is the agitation of the blood, which gives us the power of motion and lite, and it is the agitation of thoughts and ideas which prevents. brain stagnation and mental death, When a people lose that interest in themselves, to that extent that they stand supinely_ by, quietly submitting to wrong, without protest, they have reached the danger point in race progress development.

Tomato Clubs Bring Good In- comes to the Members, Washington.—Guided by a southern ‘school teacher, Uncle Sam is turning his attention, to. keeping some of his country nieces happy on the farm fn- stead of letting them join the workers in the cities. In Sve southern states. under the direction of the department of agriculture, schoolgirls are learning how to turn tomatoes and snap beans into money. ‘Miss Mary Cromer of Aiken, 8. C. began the girls’ canning clubs with forty-six of her own pupils. She had heard of the boys’ corn clubs and saw no reason why the girls should not make a little money too. So one spring she encouraged forty-six girls to plant Uttle tomato patches. All summer she worked with them. showing them how to hoe and cult vate, Along toward harvest time the neighboring station of the farm demon. stration service beard about what she was doing and sent a canning expert to Atken to show the girls what to do with thelr product. One girl got 512 cans from her pateh, which gave her a profit at the rate of $400 an aere. Even Jerry Moore, the boy who won the corn prize, had cleared only $140 an acre. Miss Cromer was given a place In the department of agriculture and has organized tomato clubs in five states. ‘The clubs are formed very early in the spring before planting time, and the demonstrator who travels about tells the girls how to ave their land Prepared. The farms are only one- tenth of an acre now. that belng sup. posed to be all that one girl can well take care of. Usually the fathers do the plowing, but they are paid for their time and the fertilizer they use, Just as an outsider would be. For the cul- tivating the girls allow themselves 10 cents an hour, They learn to enjoy the work. The girls are taught to put up wild and garden berries in glass. In the fall, when the harvest is all in tin or glass, the demonstrator visits each home. weighs each can and marks its weight upon the outside. The little gardener adds her name and address. and the can is sent straight to some- body's table at 10 cents for the tin cans of vegetables and 12 for glass Jars of preserves. If the purchaser fs Aissatisfed she notifies the department. ‘and the girl is directed to send anoth- er can. If there are continued com- plaints of her products it is assumed that she is not following directions. and she is dropped from the clubs. ‘Teacups of Salt For Wages.

Washington.—Now that the Wilson- MeAdoo wedding is over, one great Postnuptial fact stands ‘out promi- ently: ‘The McAdoos are going to live in a cottage! ‘This has come as something of a shock to Washington society. which. when it heard the news. elevated its eyebrows and ethitted a little murmur of surprise. But it will be jarring to certain of @ sentimental cast of mind to learn that the “cottage” of the McAdoor will be @ cottage fn name only. It’s something on the order of the “cottages down at Newport" that Co- han nsed to sing about long years ago, and the cottage which the Me- Adoos ure reported to be taking is sitnated at Chevy Chase, not far from the Chery Chase club, of which Presi- dent Wilson is a member. A cottage at Chevy Chase comes very near being the kind of house known in 1880 as 2 mansion. Chevy Chase is the most exclusive suburb of all the xuburbs around the capital. and the'man who buya a house there finds bis 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 be may sell his prop- erty if ever he goes broke, ‘Therefore it seems that the mere re port that the McAdoo cottage Is to be in Chevy Chase kills all the roseate dreams ‘of the sentimental minded, who probably conjured up dreams of 1 bungalow where the red roses grow.

TROTTER'S SPECIFIC DENIAL OF INSOLENCE TO PRESIDENT. Interview in Boston Globe of Nov. 17, 1914, William Monroe Trotter, whose re- marks on segregation in Gove-nment departments stirred President Wileon at a hearing in the White House last Thursday, arrived in Boston yesterday afternoon, and, after denying any. thing offensive either in his speech or manner, told of the way in which the Teport of the hearing was given to the newspapermen, “As we left the President,” said Mr. Trotter, “I told him I was very sorry it he still considered that 1 had of fended him. The President smiled and said: ‘O, we'll call it all right.” “When we came out our delegation caucused in Sec. Tumulty’s room as to what we should say for the news papers. I told the newspaper men briefly about the conference, merely deseribing it as a warm affair, “I had gone outside the White House when Mr. Tumulty called me back and said: ‘Trotter, you have vio lated every courtesy ‘of the White House in quoting the President to the press.’ “I told Mr. Tumulty that I had done so in ignorance of the rules, and apol ogized. He accepted my apology. Then I asked the newspaper not. tc publish what I told them, and they consented. 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 statement should say that T had of fended 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. “My whole attitude was that of en. aeavoring, on the spur of the moment, to answer a piece of masterful sophis. try and to refute it successfully and feeling a great responsibility to do so, T spoke with positiveness, deliberate ness and directness, looking the Pres. ident full in the eye, “I did not quiz or catechize the President, and T did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty aid criminated against and segregated in of my race and to say that T should regard it as a benevolence and so rep- resent it to my race, “Although it was a trying ordeal to listen to such a statement at length by the Chief Executive of the Nation, Thad at no time any temper, much Jess lost my temper.”” MR WILSON AND “SEGREGATION.” | New York.—To the Editor of THE APPEAL. Sir: The interview of Wil: iam Munroe Trotter and the delega- tion of colored gentlemen with the President of the United States brings forward again the burning question of the treatment of colored civil servants in Washington. ‘The whole incident shows grimly and forcefully how deep: ly the colored people of this country feel the Injustice which Mr. Wilson's government has inflicted upon them ‘tnd atill inficts. ‘The National Association for the Ad- | vanicement of Colored People has been lighting segregation In federal depart ments ever since the first rumor of it was made public. Over a year ago an investigator was sent to Washington jand a report printed. Since that time 4 representative of the national as ‘rociation has kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one oc casion this representative appeared be- fore the civil service committee and helped Kill the bill of Edwards of Georgia aud Aswell of Louisiana mak ing segregation legal throughout the [federal civil service, Much of the regregation has disappeared. When the U street station of the postoffice in Washington was abol ished all the colored men employed lost their positions, but through the intervention of this association’ three of them were reinstated. When the Dureau of engraving and printing moved to its new quarters it was the original idea to segregate colored and white people throughout the entire hullding, but through the efforts of this association there is no segrege. ton in the lunchrooms or on the root garden. Segregation, _nevertheless sfll exists in the Postoffice Depart /ment and in the ‘Treasury, and. pos sibly here and there in a’ small de gree in other places. It still remains true that for the firs time in half century a President of the United States and distinguished members of his Cabinet have deemed it necessary for the peace and quie of these United States that clerks i the federal service, having passed the same examinations and receiving the sume rate of pay. must be separated in thelr work if the ancestors of any of them had a drop of Negro, blood In some ‘cases, the “colored” qyerk have been s0. white in appearance that the officials themselves have made mistakes in classifying them. In other cases clerks of all colors have pro tested against the attempted separa. tion, Always the separation has caused humiliation and Inconventence ‘and added cost. J. B. SPINGARN, (Chatrman Board of Directors Nation ‘al Assoctation for the Advancement ‘of Colored People.) DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS HEAD? (som the Philadelphia Press.) It looks as though the result of the last election has got on the President's nerves and made him unreasonably ir ritable. In no other way can we ac. count for the extreme ‘sensitiveness and quick resentment which he exhib- ited while W. M. Trotter, of Boston, as chairman ‘of a delegation of Col: ored men undertook to show him that Colored employes were unfainy dis- permitted to declare for segregation not come until the President had been some of the executive departments. There is nothing in Mr. Trotter's remarks as reported which disclose any ground for the President's resent- ment. Possibly the speaker's manner may have been too earnest, positive and aggressive to suit the President. He turned on him as he once before turned on the woman suffrage delega- tion whose asertions anu arguments were not to his taste and drove the President into making the absurd statement that he was not at liberty to approve woman suffrage because it had no place in the National Demo- cratic 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 Cabi- net and began to enforce in their de- partments the principle of the Jim ‘Crow law. ‘The segregation practiced is wrong in prineiple because it is disagreeable and unfair to one class of public employes 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 with their grievance. We fear that the President has lost his head. He fs certainly not so happy in these extempore statements, made un. der the irritation that so easily besets him as in his more studied deliver ances which compel the admiration even of his political opponents and often skillfully covered up the falls cies of his reasoning character of the policy he is commending.

In a recent address he said: "Bee is a beverage prepared from barley, water, hops and yeast. Beer is food. American beer contains 6 per cent solid food, only 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is real brain food. Beer and bread both made from cereals; bread with water and is solid; beer with more water and is 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 free from bacteria. It is appetizing and aids digestion. It is also there is any wine made in the United States that what 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." Defective Page DuBois, W. E. B.

Sixth street, Mr. Owen Howell, manager, is about to branch out in great shape, Mr. J. H. Charleston has secured an interest in the firm and in a short period of time 199 to 200 street the greatest establishment in their line in the city. They will run an all night tailor and renovating shop. Like "Cascaret" they will "work while you sleep." Send your clothes to them at night when you go to bed and they will deliver them to you in good order the next morning. They will taxi and parcel delivery service, night and day. The Sixth street establishment will be continued also. That our men and women are superior in every way to the average wage earner found in these stores is count when prejudice steps in, so we must fight fire with fire, and those that are able to "get by" peace be with them and it is our duty not to hinder them in any way. The liquor problem must be handled, but it must be handled practically. The trouble with county option as it is now proposed is that it is neither fair nor practical. County option makes a good deal of noise in Minnesota, and seems to have a good many followers. Yet there is no evidence yet that the state is determined upon getting it. Four years ago a Democrat, Mr. Gray, ran for governor on a county option platform, and was beaten. This year Mr. Lee, a Republican, ran for governor on a county option platform, and he also was beaten. —Duluth Herald. The Valet Tailoring Co. Employes Who Get By. (Chicago Defender.)

A Directors Spurn Attempt of Hir from Membership Because of Policy of Last 60 Years—Figh League and Branch of N. A. A (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 concrete form which was set forth in a resolution offered by 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 the board offered the award was taken up by different colored organizations and others interested and the directors were urged to take action. Following is a statement given out by the directors after last evening's meeting: "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 THE FLOU NOTARY PUBLIC . Franklin YER 203, IRON EXCHANGE BLDG. MINNEAPOLIS A. FOR PROVIDENCE, R. I. ed Secretary to Exclude Persons Color—Re-affirm Non-Segregation Made by New England Suffrage C. P. 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. It seems to us that if Mr. Hawkins could read between the lines 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 Southwest; 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 court. This was one of the times when the Colored people were united in an effort and they should be given much credit for their united stand. They are very humiliant 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. branch. We have already renewed our membership. We will revert the letter of the guardian to the letter from the pen of M. E. L. Singsen, 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 proposed, fight it with all your might and need any points we will gladly give you the benefit of our experience here.
