WHAT IS BEER, AND WHY HAS IT BECOME THE NATIONAL BEVERAGE? Famous Chemist Compares Beer With Bread-Beer Is Food and Contains Lecithin, Which Is Brain Food. Beer Does Not Make Drunkards. By Professor CHARLES F. CHANDLER of Columbia University. VOL. 31. NO. 8. WHAT IS BEER, AND BECOME THE NAT Famous Chemist Compares Beer and Contains Lecithin, Beer Does Not By Professor CHARLES F. CHA WHAT is beer? It may be said in a few words—beer is a beverage prepared from malted barley, rarely from malted wheat. Rice or corn or their products are often used in addition to barley. The art of brewing is one of the oldest arts of which we have any knowledge, and brewers consequently represent one of the oldest guilds. Brewing was known and practiced by the Egyptians perhaps 1,000 years before the beginning of the Christian era. It was the brews of the Greeks, Romans and ancient Gauls. Horses tell us how Egyptians made wine from grain. Pliny repeats the same statement and many others of those early writers refer to it. Tactus states in the first century A. D. that it was the usual beverage among the Germans, and further the art of malting and brewing was probably introduced into Great Britain by the Romans. In Africa, make beer from millet seed. As early as the year 1585 there were twenty-six breweries in London with A. B. Charles Frederick Chandler, professor of chemistry in Columbia university of New York, was born in 1836 in Lancaster, Massachusetts, and Berlin and has been connected with Columbia university since 1864. He is the founder of the School of Mines, has been repeatedly president of the Mines board at his Hutchinson City and is a recognized improver of hyniptic conditions and the father of modern pure food legislation. He is a life member of the chemical societies London, Berlin, Paris and New York. an output of 650,000 barrels per annum. It is interesting to note that New York city produces ten times that quantity, and entire United States produces 100 times that quantity was used in England before the introduction of hops and probably came from the Scoiromians. Hops First Used In Germany The use of hops was derived from Germany, and the name beer from Germany was first applied to malt liquor containing hops. It is interesting to note that when the use of hops was first introduced to England in 1649 the English petitioned the king against the hops, and would spoil the drink and endanger the lives of the people. At the same time they also petitioned the king against the use of coal for fuel in the city of London because of the smoke which it produced and which it was claimed polluted the air. The manufacture of beer involves two separate and distinct operations. The first is the production of a object of making is to so change the chemical composition of the contents of the barley grain as to render them soluble in water, so as to produce a liquid which can afterward be subjected to fermentation. The process consists of steeping the barley in water in order to soften the husks. The barley is then placed on the floor of the malt and it begins to heat and to germinate, and from the protudes of the malt there is developed a curious substance called diastase, which has the property of attacking the starch and making it soluble. When the process of germination has reached a certain point the barley grains are spread over a larger area to prevent overheating and germination proceeds. When it has reached the proper point, as determined by in- ```markdown ``` spection, the mait is subjected to kiln drying, the purpose of which is to terminate germination, because if it is allowed to go over the result would be a garden of barley plants of no further value for beer making. How the Brewing is Done. Next comes the brewing by which the malt is brewed into beer. The crushed malt is crushed hot water, when the diastase completed the reaction in changing the starch to dextrin and maltose. One part of diastase is sufficient for 200,000 parts of starch. After the malt has been sufficiently treated the solution is drawn off and this constitutes the wort. The remaining grains are subjected to a careful treatment with water to obtain as large a portion of soluble matter as possible, the worts are unified, boiled hops are added and the wort is complete. It is then rapidly cooled to the proper temperature, the yeast is added and fermentation proceeds. During the fermentation the yeast develops, attaches to the sugar and liberates carbonic acid gas. The rise of the carbonic acid gas through the liquid causes motion and the liquid is set to work. In fact, the name fermentation was originally given to any chemical reaction in which gases were liberated in the liquid, as for example when a piece of marble is dissolved in hydrochloric acid solution. When the fermentation is complete the beer is drawn off and stored in suitable vessels, in which subsequent slow fermentation takes place and the liquid becomes clarified. The sediment of yeast is found in the bottom of the vessel and the yeast of larger beer, in the case of ale, the yeast is found in the form of sums on the top. This leads to the terms "top fermentation" and "bottom fermentation" or "obergerung" and "untergerung." I might add that the difference is partly due to the temperature at which the fermentation takes place. Process Like Breadmaking. Process Like Breadmaking. It is found in practice that in order to produce either one of these different kinds of yeast or to employ yeast yielded by the same yeast. This kind of fermentation is the same kind of fermentation which has been employed from time immemorial for the raising of bread. Leaven has come down from the most remote ages. It is simply dough which has been kept for several days and in which the atmosphere have been deformed. When this is added to a furnished quantity of flour and water and later kneded together, the yeast develops overnight and infilates the dough with carbonic acid gas, at the same time, as in the case of beer, producing a corresponding quantity of alcohol. In more than seven yeast has been substituted for leavening, to cause aause and the results are the same. Some times when the temperance movement was running high in London it occurred to a baker to attach a condensed coll to his oven and obtain a little condensed alcohol from the vapor given off by his bread in baking. He made a great display of this and advertised temperance and quite a run of trade for a few years. A neighbor baker displayed a sign stating that he left all the gin in his bread and turned customers his way. How the Yeast Works. Yeast was really discoveries in 1880 by Anthony van Leeuwenhoek, with his new microscope. He describes yeast as "little globules collected in groups of three and four." It attracted at that time, of course, very little attention, and it was only at the beginnings of the last century that it was taken up and the investigation was made which showed that it was a living organism and that fermentation was the result of its vital action. The subject attracted great attention and some curious directions. Some scientists carried out the warfare of words as to the possibility of the spontaneous generation of organisms. Others took up the study of diseases. Other researches have led to the germ theory of diseases and the discovery of toxins, antitoxins and immunity. It was discovered that while the greatest variety of chemical changes could be accounted for by the action of living organisms, there was fermentation which took place in the absence of living organisms. Recent investigations are produced by enzymes, that the yeast creates the enzymes and that thezymes do the work. The following is the last information that has been obtained with regard to alcoholic fermentation. After the starch has been converted by malting into maltose the next change takes place when the yeast is added. The yeast furnishes the enzyme maltase, which converts maltose into dextro-glucose. Then another yeast enzyme,zymase, goes to the cement to attack the dextro-glucose, which acts to acid the gas, but thezymase cannot accomplish this splitting alone. It requires another enzyme, which is fur- One of the most interesting constituents that has been found in beer lately is a peculiar substance called lecithin. It has long been known that the phosphates were always present in beer, and the last discovery shows that they are absolutely essential to the process of fermentation. But the discovery of lecithin is especially interesting because lecithin is a substance which was found some time ago as a constituent of the brain. It is a very interesting compound of fatty constituents and phosphorus, and when its presence in the brain has been discovered it attracted a great desire was thought, even, that it might be the source of mental action, and some suggested the proper name for it would be "denkstoff" or thinking stuff. They tell a good story about this discovery. When they first discovered the phosphorus in the brain somebody else discovered that there was phosphorus in the fish, and they started a story that fish would be good food for the brain. And so a young student wrote to Oliver Wendell Holmes and wanted to know if that story was true, and if so what would be the proper dose. And so Dr. Holmes wrote him back as follows: "My son, it is quite true that the brain contains phosphorus, so true that fish contain phosphorus. You carefully perusing your letter I would say that the proper dose for you would be a whale on toast." How Beer Resembles Bread. When we come to consider the relation of beer to water we are struck by the analogy of beer as bread. Bread is made from cereals; so bread with bread with little water is solid, the beer with more water is liquid. The yeast is employed in both. It produces alcoholic fermentation in both. It converts both into palatable and readily digested food. Both contain alcohol and carbon dioxide. Beer contains from 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and is not intoxicating when taken in ordinary quantities. Beer also has bitter and aromatic bodies derived from hops, which give it an acceptable flavor and produce tonic effects. Further, beer is one of the foods free from bacteria. You might be afraid of water, of milk, but the method of making beer, drying it, and filtering it completely free beer is called bacteria. Beer is food and wholesome. It contains carbohydrates and albuminoids and mineral materials required by our system. It is appetizing. It aids digestion, has enzymes. I myself have been familiar with the use of beer as an article of food from my childhood. I remember the barrel of ale in my father's cellar. When I was seventen I went to Germany to study and learned to use beer as an article of food at the University of Goettingen. My first experience really came soon after I reached Goettingen when I made a walking tour through the Härz mountains with three other friends, who remembered to this day with satisfaction. I enjoyed at some roadside "gashaus" my terbrod, schweizerkase and bier. I have taken beer or ale pretty regularly all my life with my lunch. I have enjoyed the most perfect health. able to do a hard day's work every day, and as I was born in 1838, I think I am a pretty good specimen of its food value. Adulteration Talk Is Nonsense You know we read in the papers a great deal about adulterations. Of course most of it is nonsense. I have had occasion to investigate the question, and I find that adulteration in beer is gross exaggeration. There may be misbranding, but there is no adulteration. Beer does not make drunkards. The effect of prohibition would drive beer out of the household. It would deprive a large percentage of our population of a perfectly honest, wholesome, nutritious beer. Wholesome beer is drunkenness, there is intemperance, but it does not come from beer. If we have laws let these laws be intelligent laws, laws that will discriminate between what does harm and what does not do harm. I think I have given reasons enough why beer has become a national beverage in this country. Defective Page AMERICAN ARMY IN FINE HEALTH No Perk In Holding Large Bodies Men In Field. FEVER MEMAGE IS REDUCED Percentage of Disease Decreased 18 Percent in East Vienna. Vienna Brigadier General Gorgas in His First Annual Report—Rate For Alcoholism Lower than It Has Ever Been Before. Washington—In his first annual report as surgeon general of the United States army, Brigadier General William C. Gorgas says the time has come when the United States can be assured that it can maintain a state of hygienic competence that will warrant the holding of large bodies of troops in the field indefinitely. Figures submitted by General Gorgas indicate that of all the armies in the world that of the United States is the healthiest. The figures shows that the percentage of disease in the United States army is the lowest it has ever been and that since 1912 this rate has been decreased approximately 18 percent in the United States proper, while the rate is also lower than at any pre- © 1914, by American Press Association. BRIGADIER GENERAL WILLIAM G. GORGAS vious time among the troops on duty beyond the continental limits of the country. It is interesting to note that at no time in the history of the army has the rate for alcoholism been so low. "It is especially satisfactory," says General Gorgas. "In view of the extension of white races toward the tropics, to state that the rates for marital fevers are the lowest since 1909, when our troops were first permanently stationed in the tropics." The hospital corps of the army, the surgeon general says, should be made more attractive, because under present conditions there is little inducement in the pay to draw to it men of intelligence that are necessary to perform efficiently its many and specialized duties. Pharmacists, surgical, laboratories, and dental assistants, expert nurses and cooks can be put out as well as better hours, out of the army than in it, he says. "The reorganization of several new field hospitals and ambulance units during 1914." General Gorgas continues, "only in part reminds the giaring defect observed in the shortage of mobile sanitary units. Our present personnel permits only a half of the regular army in the field to be served by the army, and the field service regulations. In view of the great battle losses to be expected in modern wars it is a serious responsibility to rely upon improvised units that must serve at the front. "The great reduction in the amount of preventable disease foreshadows great economies to the government as practical application is developed. Until comparatively recently the duties of medical officers were almost entirely confined to the care of the sick and wounded. In keeping with modern tendencies specialization has developed and to their former duty is now added that of sanitary science with the practice of preventive medicine in the flair and garrison, the handling and display of medical equipment wounded in campaign and the various duties of the civilian physician and surgeon. All this requires preparation and training unknown in past years. The medical corps is the only portion of the army not included in the plan of education of the army instituted when Senator Root was secretary of war. "It seems time that a comprehensive scheme was adopted to keep medical officers trained and abreast of the times in both their medical military and strictly professional duties. "For some years it has been necessary to constantly employ from ninety to 100 members of the medical reserve corps with troops. It is desirable that the medical corps be large enough to perform all the duties required in peace, and any reserve of trained medical officers be effected in other ways. It will be demands for medical officers that the demands be unable to meet. A sufficient number to meet requirements in peace is the best preparation to meet the demands upon the medical department in mobilization and war." WIFE IS ASSISTANT GOVERNOR Mrs. Carlson of Colorado Will Look After Lourn. Position Woman. After Laws Relating 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 hair. 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, says that her husband appo- nied her as assistant because he thinks a woman's ability 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 boy's 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 affair of a state?" (I). "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, WI—the chief 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 caught in thearnings 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. 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 DePuchredon as observer, was returning from a reconnaissance near Chaunces on Jan. 10 when they caught sight of a machine flying toward Amens. They gave chase without being noticed. "Not far from Amens 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 Falkenstein, son of the German chief of staff, as previously reported). Bullet wounded the German pilot. Milton 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: 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." 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.

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 $0,000,000 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. The revenue cutters urgeregister to appropriate $350,000 for a vessel for the California and $110,000 for an anchorage patrol boat for use in New York harbor and $350,000 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 hoods in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys during the year the prevailing recommendation for three light draft cutters 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 Cures Him. AN EARTH CURSE HIM. Superior, "When John Anderson, a laber, 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 was taken to 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 82 Peach tree Street, Atlanta, Ga., knitted 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 trenches discovered the note. A short time later the sergeant fell with a bullet in his shoulder. In the hospital some days later he unearthed the note and determined to write to the girl in Atlanta. He received a speedy reply, and in a short some Sergeant Munro and Ethel Chapman were not only in love, but engaged. It was this point the proceedings Miss Jane Gall of New York paid a visit to the hospital and not 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, Sergeant 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 Motorists Make Exciting Winter Ride Across Lake Erie. Sandusky, O.-Dr. J. B. Robinson and ex-Mayor T. B.

FOCH HONORED BY KING GEORGE Comparatively Unknown General Given Grand Cross of Bath. HERO OF TWO BIG BATTLES Strict Censorship Keeps Many Brave Men in the Background—Joffre Plans the Attacks, While Foch Executes Them—How He Accepted High Office From President. Bordeaux.—When King George visited the front he gave the same order to General Foch (the grand cross of the Bath) as to the commander chief of the allies, General Joffre. This is the highest distinction the king of England can confer on a general for purely military services. Owing to the completeness of the French censorship, which prevents any general from being singled out for publicity and the small attention paid to the work of the French generals in the English press, people were mystified in England when General Foch, a person unknown to them, was singled out for this compliment by their king. But the fact is that General Foch was the hero of the battles of the Marmor and sea and is likely to go down in history as the greatest figure of the war on the French army. General Joffre, Joffre plans, Foch executes; Joffre is the headpiece, Foch the right hand of the French army. Each likes and respects the other. GENERAL FOCH. Foch's confidence in his chief tactical genius is unbounded. Joffre knows that when it comes to an offensive movement he has an instrument in Foch on which he can place entire reliance. In private life the two men are more than comrades in arms. They are close friends and never more happy than when they can sit down over a pipe and discuss military reminiscences, for both are veterans in the army. They differ by a few words. Their ages differ but by a year. Their birthplaces are but a few miles apart. Ferdinand Foch was born at Tarbes, in the southern department of Gers, on Oct. 2, 1851. His father, Napoleon Foch, was secretary of the prefecture at Tarbes, where his three sons, of whom General Foch was the oldest, attended the local college. Each boy chose his profession—one law, another the church and young Ferdinand the army. Ferdinand soon made his mark on the army, as nominated artillery captain, who rose to the post of professor of tactics, with the title of commandant, at the Ecole de Guerre, or military school, where he remained five years. His lectures and military works have been translated into many languages. Having been created brigadier general in 1908, Foch now succeeded to the directorship of the Ecole de Guerre, one of the most confidential positions in the department. He left this post to take a second division and afterward of the Eighth corps at Bourges and finally the Twentieth corps at Nancy. AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? 49 E. 4th Street, St. Paul, Minn. ST.

"Charity makes for slaves, cowards and sycophants," said "Mother Jones" of Colorado mine field fame, recently. Her words are true. Men cheat their employees out of what is their just due and become rich and when they have accumulated millions they pose as "philanthropists" and endeavor to perpetuate their names by giving money for libraries or "charities," or Christian (?) associations. Instead of being great philanthropists, these men, in many cases, are simply thieves who really ought to be in prison for having robbed their fellow men. No class has suffered more from the "philanthropies" of these rich treives than the colored people and their nefarious work has been aided by so-called colored leaders who have taken the role of public mendicants and have begged for money to organize jimcrow institutions and thus prevent their own class from securing their rights as American citizens. The product of the segregated institution is usually a crop of young colored people with slavish instincts; cringing cowards, servile sycophants. Great God deliver the people from such charity and give them justice. "BACK TO THE FARM." The cry of "Back to the farm" should now be changed to "Back to the ballot." The ballot is about the only thing that will check these outrageous assaults upon the constitutional rights of the colored people in this country. The foregoing is from the Richmond Planet and there is more common sense in those seven lines than is usually printed in seven columns of the average paper. Editor Mitchell has certainly struck the key note of the cause of the trouble. The Georgia Supreme Court has held unconstitutional an ordinance passed by the Atlanta city council to segregate the residences of white and col- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con- The human race ha test.

We have not read the text of the decision but the chances are that there is some little technicality to blame for the same. It is very likely that this will be remedied and a new ordinance passed which will be supreme court proof. "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 Sex-Law 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. In these books, Mr. Tapp contends that all sin of the Flesh is in the Sex-Senses and that is the reason that Jesus did not have a natural father. He is a lawyer and has done a great work for the inspiration of the Bible and the Divinity of the Christ. He has answered all the school of the Ingersoll's, etc. He shows that the fall of man was a matter of the Flesh and the Sex and that the Christ had to be conceived without a natural father in order to be a perfect man and Redeemer of the world. His idea is, The Law of Sex is the Key of the Bible. The idea is arresting the attention of the great thinkers of the world. The books may be secured by addressing Sidney C. Tapp, Kansas City, Mo. They should be in every home and every library of the world. INFAMOUS LEGISLATION The Democratic House of Representatives has passed an infamous act, prohibiting the intermarriage of white and colored persons in the District of Columbia. The vote was about four to one but the fact that sixty members voted against the infamous measure shows that the idea of justice is not yet dead. The bill is an insult to one-tenth of the population of the United States. It strikes at the very foundation of Christianity for among Christians of every creed, marriage is regarded as a divine institution. There is no reason for such legislation. Caucasians usually marry Caucasians and Afro-Americans usually marry Afro-Americans. The number who marry interracially is wholly negligible. The real purpose of the Bill is to place a stigma upon the Afro-American people. The Clark Bill is really an open invitation to immorality and leaves the Afro-American woman without protection and an easy prey to vicious men of the white race. If there is to be any mixing of the races it ought to be done legitimately in Christian marriage and not in an immoral manner. 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 one group of citizens as unfit, classing it with imbeciles, idiots, defectives, degenerates and criminals. And then there is another point of view. 'The mixing which has already taken place has not resulted in degenerate specimens of manhood.

THE APPEAL could name thousands of other mixed-bloods of whom America may well be proud. Every colored person ought to get busy at once and write to the Senators who represent his state and ask them to vote against the bill when it reaches the Senate. Do it now. We are delighted to state that to the everlasting credit of the Minnesota delegation in the House, they voted against the infamous bill. --- 'COWARDICE ON THE PLATFORM.' A recent issue of the Atlanta Independent had a full page of redhot editorial matter lambastig the cowardly curs who call themselves "leaders." If our esteemed contemporary will keep up this kind of work for a while, perhaps our Georgia brethren may be aroused from their lethargy and do as the editor suggests, and these are his words: "Kick out of pulpins and platforms every Negro leader who does not protest against the indignities thrust upon us." Under the caption "Cowardice on the Platform," the editor says: "No race or people in the history of civilization ever endured a leadership of more consummate cowards. The average Negro is a coward in his own esteem. Void of respect, appreciation or manly resentment, he submits to every indignity, with apology, the white man inflicts upon him. When we speak of cowards, we do not mean physical cowards, but moral and intellectual cowards. The coward who hasn't the moral courage to resent a wrong. The coward who submits to every indignity imposed upon him by cowardly newspapers; the coward who accepts every jimcrow accommodation offered. The Jews will not read a paper that is hostile to the Jews. The Irishman resents with all his hot blood insults heaped upon his race by newspapers and other nationalities. The Japanese resents with all his manliness, with all his soul, with all his might, every wrong done him because of his race, his color or his condition. There is nobody a coward but the Negro; there is nobody that kisses the hand that smites him but the Negro; there is no race so divided against itself and is such a consummate band of bootlickers, cowards and sycophants as black educated leaders. What we need is a many leadership.—one full of moral courage and intellectual 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 seek to crush and undo it. Let us have a manly race; and we can only have a manly race by manly leadership." ```markdown ``` The Philadelphia Ledger is credited with the following, published as a good joke: "There was absolutely no evidence against the man you lynched." "No evidence? Why he was as black as the ace of spades." Well, there is no joke about that, it's a plain unvarnished fact that when an alleged criminal is black, that is the strongest evidence of his guilt. The prime cause for nine out of ten lynchings is the fact that the victims are black. Do It Now! Dear Congressman—Please speak, vote and work against the bill for separate Jim Crow cars in the District of Columbia. It is Un-American, Un-Christian, an insult to every Colored citizen and a disgrace to our country. PROTEST AGAINST JIM-CROW CAR BILL FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. By National Independent Equal Rights League, Massachusetts Branch. The National Independent Equal Rights League, Massachusetts Branch, calls the attention of the American people to the present epidemic of race prejudice against Colored American citizens by the congress of the United States under sectional domination. We would awaken all patriotic citizens, especially of the North, to this brazen attempt to resurrect the Black Code of the Seceded States immediately after the abolition of slavery. First, African exclusion, then anti-intermarriage, now a bill reported favorably to the House for Jim-Crow cars in the District of Columbia. And this is but a part of the program of race-hate. We call upon the Congressman of Massachusetts, regardless of party, and upon all other patriotic Congressmen to defeat this nefarious color-line bill. Such a law separating citizens by race in public carriers is a fundamental violation of democracy. It is class legislation, a public, conspicuous humiliation to the citizens thus segregated. If applied now to Afro-Americans it may be later applied to other race groups. Such segregation excites rather than allays racial hatred. It is not practised by any national government on earth, and is especially odious in a Republic. Segregation should be based not upon race and color, but upon character and conduct. Separate street cars in the District of Columbia would be an object lesson to the people from all parts of the world, and would exhibit the degradation of Colored citizens to all nations. Jim-Crowism is bad in a state, but infinitely more injurious in the nation's capital and by the national government. It destroys equality of citizenship, and sets a precedent for proscription without limit. Never before in the century and a half of the Republic's existence has such segregation been found necessary. Surely it is now too late for advancing Christian civilization to inaugurate any such practice and inflict harm. We appeal to all Christians and true Americans to rise in the might of public sentiment and, smiting the authors thereof, to sternly stop now for all time this audacious onslaught upon an ever-loyal tenth of the citizenry of our common country.

Benjamin, Wm. Monroe Trotter, secretary executive committee. 49 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. A PROTEST FROM FREEDOM'S BIRTHPLACE. I hang my head for shame that a committee of the Anglo-Saxon Race, to which I belong, has reported to the Congress of the United States a bill to provide separate cars for Colored American citizens in the District of Columbia at the seat of the National Government. Such a bill, if presented at the close of the Civil War, fifty years ago, would have excited less. It is rather late in our country's history to separate any class of our fellow citizens from another class in facilities for travel. Representatives of the Hebrew, Irish, Teutonic, Slavic and Latin races may ride where they please. If Booker Washington, on whom Harvard conferred a degree of LL. D.; Prof. Pickens, who was an honor man at Yale; Du Bois, the editor of "The Crisis"; former Assistant Attorney-General Lewis; and William Crawford, who be put into separate cars in Washington, is putting fit to associate with their fellow citizens, it is time vigorous protest were made. This is much more objectionable in the capitol of the Nation than elsewhere. Visitors from other nations who come to see our Congressional Library and other public buildings will have an object lesson hourly before them in the separation and degradation of our fellow citizens. One provision of the law which it is sought to pass is a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for six months for anyone who violates its provisions, and this applies to those in charge of the officers, excavators or any vehicle where fist is engaged. Conductors, porters, etc. are authorized as special police for its enforcement. **Premeditated.** That this is an act is previously determined and merely defined Southern policy is obvious from a letter written the Editor of this paper by Thos. H. Caraway, who is one of those who reported the proposed law and who wrote on the stationery of the House of Representatives under date of October 1913: "Personally, I shall vote for every measure that tends to segregate the races, with reference to residence, transportation, and occupation, and I believe that measures of that kind will be passed at the coming term of Congress." This it appears that he wishes Colored people to live only in a certain part of the city, ride only on cars set apart for them, and to deprive them of many occupations where they can earn an honest living. The writer of this editorial takes this ground, that segregation is always a badge of inferiority and is so intended, and that any segregation based on color alone, is always wrong. Let no one think that we would do away with classes in society. There will always be a wide gulf between the educated and the ignorant, the virtuous and the vile, the coarse and vulgar and the gentle and refined, will all be divided on the person having one-eighth or one-thirty-second of African blood in his veins, but are based upon conditions which the individual can change if he will. The writer believes the time has come when the Colored race should repudiate the leadership of those who advise further forbearance and subservience and tame submission to everything proposed. If at the recent visit of the editor of this paper to the White House he had gone in at the back door with a basket asking for cold victuals, all would be warmed up, but when he was in the front door of the White House and looked the President straight in the eye and asked for justice, he was met with the remark that he spoke with a "background of passion" and that the "tone of his voice" was not acceptable. No doubt he spoke with some warmth. He would be less than human if he had not, when he felt that he was spokesman of 10,000,000 American citizens, asking not for favors, but for rights. The race should repudiate the leadership which seems to be more concerned with the superior advantage of leghorn pullets for farmers and the fact that there is not owned family in the South, than it is with the fact of the loss of the ballot, lynchings, African exclusion, intermarriage and finally separation in cars, based on color alone. Let us pray for a leader who shall get out of the arena of the barnyard and get into the arena of freedom and the rights of man. Lose not Freedom Gained by Abolitionists. Let us not lose the freedom for which Garrison, Phillips, Sumner, John Egger and a a host of others laid their lives in their memory, as one has said, that only the Golden Rule of Christ can ever bring in the golden age of man, and let all Northern Senators, Representatives, ministers and editors agitate and protest until the lowest citizen has his rights under the flag, lest the wrath of Heaven descend on us as a nation. WILLIAM D. BRIGHAM ALL HONOR TO THACHER AND FITZGERALD. First Victory Against Jim-Crow Car Bill Instance of Racial Self Help. Douglas Memorial and Protest Day, Feb. 21. (Special.) New York, M. Y., Feb. 9, 1915: The first skirmish on the Jim-Crow Cars in the District of Columbia won by the opponents of the Bill, yesterday, led by Rep. T. C. Thacher of Massachusetts and Rep. John J. Fitzgerald of New York, Democrats, who felt the desire to show they were not in accord with the Southern Democrats on this color line measure. When the session of the House of Representatives opened at 11 A. M., Rep. Thacher presented the remonance of the National Independent Equal Rights League to the House. Then rep. Fitzgerald moved substitution of the Sundry Civil Bill for the District of Columbia Bill, which has the Jim-Crow Car resolve, it being the regular day to take up D. of C. measures. The motion of Fitzgerald was carried 168 yes to 107 no. Rep. Clark of Florida was sore. Douglas Memorial Day Protest. The next regular day for District of Bills is February 22nd. The Equal Rights league appeals to the Afro-American community to hold a meeting on Sunday February 21st, to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the death of Frederick Douglas, and to pass resolutions against the Jim-Crow Car Bill, asking Representatives to speak and vote against it, and mail a copy to every U. S. Representative in Congress from the state. If in a Southern state, select some Northern State's Congressman. The Massachusetts Equal Rights League passed and had its resolutions published on February 3rd, and mailed a copy to Rep. Thacher and the other Congressman from Massachusetts and Rep. Thacher answered the League that he would present them and fight the Bill. Branches of the League from Boston to Kansas sent resolutions, while the D. of C. Branch went to the Capitol. But the Chief of all the Colored Citizens of Boston, through the activity of Secretary Trotter, sent Abby A. Crawford as a personal lobbyist to Washington against the Bill. He was at the Capitol at 9 A. M. Monday and went to work on the Congressman. This Colored organization is proud of this self-help. Any city desiring to form a branch league, should write to National Organizer, Rev. R. C. Ransom, 435 W. 35th St., New York, N. Y. or Secretary Trotter at Boston, Mass. Let whole race organize. OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION. (From the Boston Guardian.) (From the Boston Guardian.) That we much rather be, and associate among ourselves, is a saying by Colored Americans that has become almost true: that is a mistake; it is feeling of an affection innate; it is an innate utterance. It is an innate impossibility for the two races to subscribe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race work out its own salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted into a ghastly failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have heeded too the advice of the leaders of serious leadership that resistance is wrong, that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow. We have followed this "advice" faithfully and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women off the streets and our brutes — separate schools, fimcrow cars, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from "non-resistance" and "rather be by ourselves." That with the same degree of efforty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same efforty and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. We have been taught that federal law legislation degrading an imminal to our well being. Race prejudice, therefore, can only be worn down by attrition. We must send our children, and go ourselves, to mixed RACE PREJUDICE. I am convinced myself, evil thing in this present justice; none at all. I am the worst single thing and holds together more abomination than any other world. Through its book of coarse lust, suspicion and all the darkest soul. --H. G. V. I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. --H. G. Wells in N. Y.

William Monroe Trotter, whose remarks on segregation in Government departments stirred President Wilson at a hearing in the White House last Thursday, arrived in Boston yesterday afternoon, and, after denying any wrongdoing in his speech or manner, told of the way in which the report of the hearing was given to the newspapermen. "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 then recounted how the caucused 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. "I had gone outside the White House when Mr. Tumulty called me back and said: 'Trotter, you have vowed very clearly 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 apologized. He accepted my apology. Then I asked the newspaper not to 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 unveiled 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 I had offended the President of the United States." Did Not Lose Tempor 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 endeavoring, on the spur of the moment, to answer a piece of masterful sophis- "HUMAN NATURE" My ear is My soul is sick with evi Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is severe That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guild Not colored like his ov To enforce the wrong, Dooms and devotes him Thus man devotes his life 'Tis human nature's br "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." NEARLY 100 WANT JOBS. Defective Page try and to refute it successfully and feeling a great responsibility to do so, I spoke with positiveness, deliberateness and directness, looking the President full in the eye. "I did not quiz or catechize the President, and I did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty did criminated against and segregated in of my race and to say that I should regard it as a benevolence and so repressed it more than it was a trying ordeal to listen to such a statement at length by the Chief Executive of the Nation, I had at no time any temper, much less lost my temper." MR WILSON 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 in Washington. The whole incident shows grimly and forcefully how deeply the colored people of this country feel in the 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 and a report printed. Since that time a representative of the national association has kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one occasion this representative appeared before the civil service committee and Edward of Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana segregation legal throughout the federal civil service. Much of the segregation has disappeared. When the U street station of the postoffice in Washington was abolished all the colored men employed lost their positions, but through the intervention of this association three of them were reinstated. When the men were revived and printing moved to its new position it, 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 garden. Segregation, nevertheless, has left the Postoffice 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 of these United States that clerks in the federal office having passed the same examinations and having 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 the "colored" clerks have protested against the attempted separation. Always the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. E. SPINGARN, Chairman Board of Directors National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. ABILITY CAUSES RACE HATRED. A novel explanation of the Russian dislike for the Jew has been given by Count Alexander Scherbatsky, councillor of the Russian embassy in Washington. The count said that Russians objected to Jews because they were more capable than the Russians and not because they were of a different race and faith. "There is not much difference between the Jewish question in Russia and the Japanese question in California," he declared. "The Californians know that Jews are more clever than they are. The Russians know that they can not compete with the Jews. Their fear of the Jews is based on economic considerations." THE PRESIDENT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN. (From the Chicago Tribune.) We are not ready to concede that any nation has a ship less standing under the law that 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 nation it is asked to declare that the nation is a piece of hypocrisy and does not apply where it is inconvenient.

Vassar lost their two-year-old son on last Sunday, spinal Defective Page meningitis being the cause. Though they have 17 children the loss of this one is keenly felt.

To add to their troubles they are now under quarantine for scarlet fever. Postmaster Yanish is very much put out because he was not relieved from duty Wednesday when his appointment expired as he had planned to start on a trip Wednesday night. But his success has not been selected he must hold onto his $20 per day job for a while longer. However, if he must go there are lot of folks right here in St. Paul who will perform his duties for him on a fifty fifty basis. The So-Lit Club gave a fancy dress party at the residence of Mrs. C. E. James, 640 W. Central Ave., with Miss Lucille莱斯 as hostess. There was full turn out of the members and their friends and the costumes were quite beautiful and appropriate. The house was tastefully decorated. The lunch was delicious and on the whole it was one of the most enjoyable affairs the club ever gave. Dancing was the feature of the evening.

The Masque Parry given by the Adelphal Club at the residence of Mrs. Birdle high, 674 St. Anthony ave., last Tuesday night, was a most delightful affair. There was an immense crowd and nearly all were en masque, and they were some masques too, if anybody should ask you. The program was a concert of piano duet by Mesdames Blanche etaetta Artes, and a vocal solo by Miss Charlotte Gillard. There was a culinary display of toothsome viands, all of which were sold at good prices. Prizes were given as follows: 1st, Hand-painted Motto, Mrs. H. G.

"Federal statistics show that more than 75 per cent of insanity cases are due to the use of drugs," declared Thomas Potts of Chicago, Secretary of the National Association of Registered Druggists, in an address to delegates to the Minnesota association which held its convention in this city last week. Mr. Potts explained that at present there is no law to prevent the shipment of harmful drugs into any state, and said that the national association helped to secure the passage of a measure that will prohibit indiscriminate shipment and otherwise confuse the sale of "depo." The measure goes the sale effect "dichotom." Another interesting feature is that the was the statement made by M. D. Martin, a druggist of Northfield, Minn. He said that if temperance legislation, now pending in the Minnesota Legislature, becomes effective and results in parts of the state going "dry," drug stores in those districts will increase twofold, and most of the saloonkeepers will turn druggists. A GET-TOGETHER MEETING And Banquet to Discuss the Forming of an Athletic Organization. There was quite a notable gathering at the residence of Mrs. Birdella Driven, 610 St. Anthony avenue, last Tuesday evening, the occasion being a get-together meeting and banquet for the purpose of discussing the feasibility of forming an athletic organization for the men and boys of the city. Mr. Birdella旅ward, an enthusiastic young athlete, was the prime mover, and he invited a number of the prominent men of the city to be present.

Francis, Harry Robinson, Rev. Jones, A. J. Wilmore, J. H. Sherwood, M. A. Bolling, A. V. Hall who expressed themselves about the matter. It was added to go into temporary organization; H. R. Hall who directed; H. R. Crawford, secretary; W. E.

Government officials have prepared a plan to combat the evil which they call "the greatest menace to the American nation." It will become the duty of the collector to cure drug addicts by cutting off their supply.
