JUST WINS SPINGARN MEDAL Young Howard Professor Is Awarded First Prize. One Hundred Dollar Gold Medal, the Gift of Dr. Joel E. Spinning, presented to Successful Candidate by Governor Charles S. Whitman—Great Throng Witnesses Ceremony. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York—On Friday evening, Feb. 12, in the presence of an audience of upward of 2,000 people, at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Ethical Culture hall, Governor Whitman awarded to Dr. Ernest Everett the first Splinger medal. This $100 gold medal is offered annually by Dr. J. E. Spinning, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, to the man or woman of African descent and American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor. Dr. Just since 1912 has been professor and head of the department of physiology in Howard University Medical school. He was born in Charleston, S. C., thirty-one years ago. He was prepared for college at Kimball Union academy at McGraw, N. H., and was graduated from Dartmouth in 1907, madeude, being the only one of his class to receive his special honor. He was also elected to the Beta Kappa. From 1909 to 1914 he has summoned his research work at the Marine Biological laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass. He has been doing special research work in physiology and zoology since 1911. In spite of his youth and the amount of time that his professional position requires him to devote to academic routine, he has been since 1912 a regular contributor to scientific periodicals. The Biological Bulletin, the official organ of the marine biological laboratory, has published a series of his scholarly accounts of his scientific investigations. He has now in press an DR RENNET EVERETT JUST, WINNER OF DR RENNET EVERETT JUST, MAINMED PRESENTED FEB. 14, 1974. DR. RENEISH EVERETT JUST, WINNER OF THE FIRST SINGHAIN MEDAL, PRESENTED FEB. 12, 1915. article which is to appear in the Journal of Morphology, which is the organ of the Wister Institute of Medicine and Biology, Philadelphia. Dr. Just was chosen from a long list of candidates in many fields. He was recommended by men of the highest professional standing of both races. Dr. Jacques Loeb of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, in writing of Dr. Just, sai "His knowledge of biology and his critical ability are of an unusually high and lofty order. In the work he devotes to Howard the man he is guided by very high motives, since he remuneration he receives is only a fraction of his nominal salary. He could easily increase his come by giving up his position. Dr. Just has sacrificed a good deal for the advancement of medical schools for colored people, and he will do a good deal hope that he is given a chance, as I hope he may be." Professor Lille of Chicago university, who has collaborated with Dr. Just in some of his research work, in recommending him wrote: "Dr. Just is a relatively young man of high scientific attentions and has great enthusiasm and ability in research. In the last two and a half years he has published most recent work is of the greatest significance and would insure him a wide reputation if he were a white man. No doubt you know of his position in Howard university, in Washington, and the good work he is doing there in bringing up the standards of medical education in his own race. The conditions under which he is obliged to carry it on are in some respects highly discouraging. He decided the award were: Bishop John Hurst, chairman: Ex-President Taft, John Hope, president of Morehouse college; Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Shater funds, and Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post company. The Spingarn medal is offered each year by Dr. Spingarn and is not restricted to any particular field of human endeavor. The next award will probably be made at the annual conference of the association during the first week in May. After the speech by Governor Whitman Professor William Pickens of Wiley university made an eloquent appeal for his race. There were ten minute addresses by Mirza All Kull Kahn, representative of Persia to the United States; Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Glilman. FOR MERIT SPINGARN MEDAL AWARDED TO BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE Gold medal, costing $100, donated by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn of New York, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. The medal was awarded by Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York to Dr. Ernest Everett Just, head of the department of physiology, Howard University medical school, Washington, for having made the highest achievement in a special field of any person of the colored race during the year preceding the annual meeting of the association. The presentation was witnessed by thousands at Ethleal Culture hall, 2 West Sixty-fourth Street, New York, Feb. 12, 1915. Dr. Just is a native of South Carolina, having been born in Charleston thirty-one years ago. Moorfield Storey, president of the National Association; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and Lindon Bates, Jr. Oswald Garrison Villard presided. The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the full enjoyment of their rights as citizens, justice in all courts and equality of opportunity everywhere. It favors and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or pervasive, class or caste. It recognizes the national character of the Negro problem and no sectionalism. It believes in the upholding of the constitution of the United States and its amendments in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of "all men up and no man down." It abhors Negro crime, but, still more, the conditions which breed crime, and, most of all, the crimes committed by mobs in the mackey of the law or by individuals who commit crimes, the believes that the scientific truths of the Negro problem must be available before a country can see its way wholly clear to right existing wrongs. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to peace and social content. It has no other desire than exact justice and no other motive than humanity. the committee on the Spingarn prize spent much time and thought before it finally decided that, taking all things into consideration, from the many names of candidates presented that the farreaching results of the professional and scientific work of Dr. Just in its relation to human enlightenment as touching racial advancement during the fiscal year of the association merited the gold medal thus presented the intellectual ability of Dr. J. shows it is capable of attaining to as high development in literature and science as men of other races are. New Rector of St. Thomas' Church. The Rev. William E. Hendricks, formerly of Porto Rico, was recently installed rector of the St. Thomas Episcopal church on Twelfth street, Philadelphia. The Rev. Mr. Hendricks is a graduate of the General Theological seminary, New York. For the past three years Rector Hendricks has been very successful in conducting missionary work in Porto Rico. He is also a graduate of Lincoln university and received the degree of bachelor of arts from Yale college. Bishop Rhinelander officiated at the installation ceremonies of the Rev. Mr. Hendricks. Minnesota Odd Fellows Are Active. The Odd Fellows' fidelity of Minnesota is showing timely interest in the erection of a new modern building for the order in St. Paul. The hall is being built at a cost of $75,000. The building when finished will become a center for the various secret, business and social organizations of St. Paul, Minnesota and vicinity. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1915. CANAL NEUTRALITY RULE. Only Six Fighting Ships of Warring Nations May Pass at One Time. Washington.—President Wilson recently issued a proclamation announcing the neutrality regulations for the Panama canal zone. It provides that all vessels of belligerent nations shall be allowed to pass through the canal in the order of their arrival at either end, but that twenty-four hours shall elapse between the departure of vessels flying the flags of two nations that are at war. War vessels shall pass through as rapidly as possible and shall not remain in waters adjacent to the canal longer than absolutely necessary. No vessels shall remain in the canal more than twenty-four hours. The docking and requiring facilities of the United States shall be used by belligerent ships only to make repairs that are necessary to make seaworthiness. Aeroplanes are forbidden to cross the zone or to make a landing at any point on the zone. Commanders of belligerent vessels are forbidden to embark or disembark troops in the canal zone except for the purpose of unkilling necessary repairs. There are than three vessels flying the flag of the belligerent nation anchored in the waters adjacent to the canal at one time, and not more than three, making six in all, shall pass through the canal at one time. MOUSE TIES UP WHOLE TOWN Causes Short Circuit at Light Plant and Everything Stops. Hutchinson, Kan. - An undersized mouse short circuiting some wires in the city electric light plant here stopped the street cars, put out all the lights in the city, shut down certain parts of the salt plants, chemical works, flour mills, strawboard plant, newspaper typesetting machines, one telegraph company and other industries depending on electric motors for power for an hour. Edward Benson, assistant engineer at the plant, tried to get the mouse out with a pair of tongs without shutting down the plant, and the little animal jumped into a connection that electrocuted, causing several thousand people to take a precaution when the burned out switches and wires could be repaired. Mr. Benson was badly burned about the hands, arms and face, but will recover. PHYSICAL BLIGHT AS FRUIT OF THE WAR Offspring of Survivors to Be Weak and Crippled. Washington.—Over Europe of the future, no matter upon which side victory rests, declare medical men and scientists, will sweep the devastating hand of physical blight. Children with crippled forms, weak bodies and unhealthy nations will be the cradles of every nation now at war, pouring of the men made unit for parentage by the rigors of the great conflict. Dr. Ales Hrdlščur, curator of the National museum and noted anthropologist, is one of the savants who has studied the effect of Europe's conflict upon the children yet to be born. To him the present war presents a vastly different aspect with regard to future generations than any conflict has ever presented before. Since men of science first began to bandage effect of wars upon the human races it has been admitted whenever the best physical examples of a nation went to war to be destroyed the physical manhood of that nation suffered. Then it was discovered that for every man killed or fatally wounded four died of disease. As warfare approached its present modern character the number of killed and wounded in each engagement decreased, while the number who died from "natural causes" increased. Army physicians say the percentage of mortality from the present conflict is likely to be far less than it has been in the wars of the past. But the scientists—both medical men and anthropologists—ad to that statement their belief that the loss of the men killed in the war will not detract from the future of Europe's future, one-hundred years much as will the men who return unwounded from the field, because war is no longer primarily an anthilogist of life, so far as the calculations of science are concerned, but a shatterer of nerves and constructions, a creator of neuronal nerve connections, a developer of mentalities and sapped vitalities. REASONS WHY MEN DRINK. "Toothache," "Heavy Cold" and "Stomach Trouble." So They Say. Columbus, Ind.-A survey of the causes that take men into the city court here shows that toothache is to blame more than anything else. Next to "toothache" is "heavy cold," and "stomach trouble" runs a poor third. Nearly every man who is arrested on a crime such as such excuse. There are a few, however, admit they get drunk just to be drunk and have no excuse to offer. Defective Page MANY OPINIONS ADVANCED. Views of Former Advisor For United States Navy Department on Title by Which Our Race Should Be Recognized—Colored American Seems More Appropriate. BY RALPH W. TYLER. There is wide variance among us as to which of the descriptive terms Negro, colored or Afro-American should be applied to us as a people to distinguish us from the white race. In truth, we are Americans—that is, the very great majority of our people—who, with their forebears for many generations back, were born in this country. Dr. Booker T. Washington has insisted, and does insist today, on the use of the descriptive term "Negro" and has used his best endeavors and very great influence to not only have the Associated Press and many metropolitan publications by white people use that term exclusively, but to capitalize it. But are we "Negroes?" The dictionary, and that is the final arbiter for all etymological disputes, says a "Negro" is a "black swain, a member of that African race" which is characterized by a "black or very dark skin and skin so woolly or crisp nature." African Mark, you it, is an African. African Mark, clearly indicating that because a black or dark skinned person may be in Africa he is not necessarily a "Negro." A "Negro" is a member of "THAT African race which etc." We are not Africans because we are native born and native sired Americans. Some of us may be black; some of us are brown; some of us, like Dr. Washington, are mulattoes, and some of us because of an unlicensed miscegination have skin of alabaster white. Then why should this variegated people be arbitrarily sifted out with descriptive term "Negro," which means "a member of THAT African race." Out of the 10,000,000 of us who were born, like our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, in this country but 37 per cent of us have woolly hair. Some of us have hair similar in texture to the Malays; some of us have hair similar to the Jews; some of us have hair similar to the American Indian, and some of us are endowed with "golden tresses that float upon the pill." In color our hair ranges from a jet black to auburn. Now, if our hair is not woolly, why should we be born with a woolly hair? Its distinctive is the member of "that" African race, natives of a country the most of us know little or nothing about? Some of us are but remotely connected with either an African or a Negro tribe; some of us are not even remotely so connected, and some of us, at least 66 per cent, are human hybrids, "a medley of bloods," through whose veins, in riotous confusion, the blood of many races. Take my dyslexia, for example, and illustrate of thousands. On my maternal side I would have to go back only three generations to plump up against an American Indian chief and on my paternal side might by the genealogical process trace kinship back to the tenth president of the United States, whose patronry I am, perforce, lugging through life. From this it is manifest I am not a Negro, though I am colored, because my skin is darker than my eyes. We are Americans by birth, not by adoption, as "Afro-American" would suggest to the uninitiated. That final etymological arbiter, the dictionary, gives as a definition of "colored," "having a skin darker than the skin of a person of the white race." The great majority of our race, this variegated race, do possess skin "darker than the skin of a person of the white race"—at least 85 per cent of us that they should appear therefore that the description more clearly and more properly fits us as a people. It does not follow because we object to the descriptive term "Negro" or "Afro-American" that we are ashamed of our people; no more than it follows that because the Jew prefer to be called a Hebrew he is ashamed of his people. "A rose might smell as sweet by some other name," it is true, and this race or people of ours can succeed just as well by some other race than by some other American," either of which is actually wrong when applied to us as a people. There are not to exceed 25,000 native born Africans in this country. These might properly be called "Negroes" or "Africans" or, more properly, "Afro-Americans," since they are native Africans who have settled in this country. But why should quite 10,000,000 of native born Africans be called "Negroes" out of reference to the 25,000 native born Africans who have come to this country? Why should we be or is or not "woolly or crisp" and what is in a merry riot from a "wilken black" to an alabaster white be called "Negroes" simply because there happen to be 25,000 foreigners in this country who can qualify as "black and whose hair is woolly or crisp?" --- By RALPH W. TYLER. RAISES CHICKEN THIEVES. Otherwise known as *skunks*, Which Are Profitable. Greenville, Cal.-Greenville has now established one of the most unique industries in the state—namely, a skunk ranch. Early in the spring Will Stevens, a butcher, formerly of Goldfield, rented the F. W. Peck ranch and entered the business on a small scale. Young skunks were captured in various parts of Indian valley and placed in pens. They grew and multiplied rapidly. The business proved so lucrative that larger pens of corrugated iron were made, and the number of skunks increased. The skins sold for from $3 to $6 each. The oil is also valuable and is sold to druggists. Stevens now has large skunks that will be ready for market in a couple of months. The skunks will eat all sorts of scraps and waste food, but are especially fond of milk and vegetables. They seem to like human companionship and when called come to be petted. To see forty chicken thieves with their long, white striped bodies and bushy tails feeding at a trough like so many pigs is an interesting sight. CHURCH WOMEN HUSK CORN On Farmer's Offer They Add to Aid Society Fund. Marshaltown, Ia. - When Charles Miller, a Jasper county farmer, offered the ladies' Aid society of the Christian church at Kellogg an acre of his best corn if the women would pick it, he found he could not run a "bluff." The women snapped up the offer in a hurry. Attired in overalls or in old clothes they in two hours picked and cried the entire acre, which yielded forty-eight bushels. A citizen who was interested in the society's work offered the women $8 cents a bushel for the church and additional $6 cents if they husked it. This they did. Four other citizens agreed to donate 5 cents for each bushel husked, so that the forty-eight bushels brought the church women $1.05 a bushel or $50.40, which goes into the society's treasury. Washington.-Seven million eggs of the humpbacked salmon spawned in Alaska waters have been rushed across the continent by the federal bureau of fisheries to replace the all but extinct Atlantic salmon of Maine waters. Their destinations are the bureau hatchery stations at Green Lake and Craig Brook, Me. Dr. H. M. Smith, director of the bureau, is personally interested in the attempt to give Maine a new salmon industry. With the single exception of the Ponocetos river, where Atlantic salmon come to spawn, there are but few salmon left in the waters of Maine. In the fall of 1913 the bureau sent 16,000,000 humpbacked salmon to that state, but because of the tendency of that species to spawn prolifically only every second year the bureau is planning to libere a new stock of the young fish next spring, which will spawn, it is expected, in the "off year." The humpbacked salmon will spawn near the mouth of a small river or stream, while the other Pacific varieties as well as the Atlantic can insist on the headwaters of large streams as spawning places. The Chinook salmon of the Columbia river will very often "run" 2,100 miles upstream to spawn, while the humpbacked variety has no objection to spawning as near as 2,100 feet to the mouth of the stream. FLOWER STALK SAVES BOY His Guardian Uses It to Pull Him Out of Cistern. St. Joseph, Mo.-A sunflower stalk in the hands of Mrs. Adeline Grimm saved the life of six-year-old Francis La Bouff, who had fallen into a cistern in Mrs. Grimm's back yard. The boy was playing near the cistern, and when he stepped on the covering the rotten boards gave way, and he plunged through into the water. Mrs. Grimm, who is the boy's guardian, heard his screams, pulled a tall sumo rope by the threads and thugged end through the hole. The youngster clung to the end of the stalk while she pulled him from the water. The water in the cistern is more than six feet deep. PRACTICES LAW AT 85 Minnesota Man Attends to All Details of His Legal Business. Rochester, Minn.-Charles C. Wilson, dean of the Olmsted county bar, celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday recently. Wilson daily gives personal attention to a lucrative law practice, attending to all of the details himself. His legal talent was recognized by the state in 1892, when he was appointed official reporter of the decisions of the supreme court. He resigned in 1896, when the legislature reduced the salary to $4000 a year. Mr. Wilson has never been in officeseeker, but has devoted his time to the practice of his profession.

FRANK JAMES IS DYING. One of Brothers, Formerly Notorious Highwaymen, Has Heart Disease. Excissor Springs, Mo.—Frank James, one of the James brothers, notorious as highwaymen shortly after the war between the states, was stricken with heart disease and was reported dying at the James home, near here. He is seventy-three years old. James is one of the last survivors of the bank robbers, made notorious by an almost unparalleled career of crime during the unsettled period that followed the war. He has been living the life of an ordinary farmer for more than thirty years. James was a son of a clergyman. He Joined Quantrell's guerrillas in the war between the states, together with his brother, Jesse, and took part in the sieving Lawrence, Kan. When the war ended they were hunted far and wide by relatives of those who had met death at their hands. They soon became outlaws. Many crimes of the decade following the war have been laid at the door of the James Younger bank, of which the only members left are Frank James and Cole Young, now living at Lee's Summit, Mo. Among their deeds were: The raid on the Commercial bank at Liberty, Mo. in 1806. One bank defender was killed and $70,000 stolen. Looting of the Russellville (KY.) Looting of the Russellville (Ky.) bank in 1808 for $17,000. Bank robbery at Gailatin, Mo., in 1808, in which the catcher, Captain John W. Sheets, was slain. Robbery of a bank at Columbia, Ky., in 1872, in which R. A. C. Martin, casket killed. Raid on a bank at Corydon, Ia., in which $40,000 was stolen in 1873. The wrecking and robbing of Chicago, Rock island and Pacific train near Council Bluffs, Ia., in 1873. The engineer was killed, the freeman wounded and several passengers injured. Box office in the fair grounds at Kansas City, Mo., was robbed of $30,000 in broad daylight in 1873. Detectives surrounded the James bobber Kearney, Mo. Jan. 25, 1875, and threw the James brother into the house, thinking to kill the James brothers. It exploded, tearing off the arm of their mother and killing their brother, Archie. Omaha, Neb.-When is a child? The question has been put up to the Omaha city commission, the street railway company and the teachers in Creighton university, and it has not been solved. A city ordinance provides that the street railway company shall sell at certain reduced rates tickets good for the transportation of "children attending school." Several days ago a party of Creighton university students boarded a car and tendered the conductor the reduced rate tickets. The conductor refused to accept them, and the young man refused to either pay the full rate or get off. Later a committee of the students called on the street railway officials and another committee went to see the city commissioners and then to City Attorney Rine. "Nonsense, boys," said Rine. "You are not children." "When is a child, anyway?" one of them demanded. "I'll show you," answered Rine, picking up a dictionary. Then he read aloud: "Child-A son or a daughter; a male or female descendant in the first degree; the immediate progeny of human parents." "Certainly we Creightonians are all sons, descendants in the first degree and the immediate progeny of human parents," the spokesman argued. Rine read on a little further: "A young person of either sex; one who cares for the characteristics of a young person." Mr. Rine thought it might be possible to consider university boys in this category. But he looked further and found this definition: One who, by character or practice, shows signs of relationship to or of the need for a teacher, as a child of God, a child of the devil, a child of toil. "We come under every one of these definitions." argued the twenty-eight year-old six foot "child" at the head of the committee. "But the ordinance says these reduced fare tickets are good for children only," the lawyer reminded them. "And if we are not children, then the dictionary is wrong." quoted the six foot child as he pulled out a ping and bit off a big chew. English Walnut Record Galt, Cali.-On the farm of Alfred O. North at Valley Oaks a young English walnut orchard holds a record which many of the old settlers claim to be the most remarkable in the state. Last March North put out forty acres of young walnut trees. By actual measurement recently it was found that a number of the trees stand twelve feet high and are planted in seven months. A large acreage in this vicinity is being planted to this variety of walnut. $2.40 PER YEAR: UNCLE SAM FINDS JOBS FOR JOBLESS Bureau For Unemployed Opened by Government. POSTMASTERS ARE AGENTS Carrying Out President Wilson's idea, the Labor, Immigration and Agriculture Departments Lend Aid—Plan Tested and Found to Be Practical and Satisfactory. Washington.—A national employment bureau reaching into every section of the United States has been put in operation by the department of labor, carrying out the suggestion of President Wilson in the Indianapolis speech for "a systematic method of helping the workingmen of America." President Wilson of the bureau was completed by Commissioner Caminetti of the immigration bureau and instructions sent to the thousands of postmasters and rural mail carriers throughout the country and to nearly 200,000 field agents of the department of agriculture, who are co-operating with the labor department to bring the jobless man and the manless job together. All agents of the immigration bureau also participate in the huge task, Mr. Caminetti said. The general plan of the employment bureau outlined by Mr. Caminetti as follows: Notices are posted in all post offices announcing that applications for work or workers will be received by the post. COMMISSIONER ANTHONY CAMINETTL master, who will be supplied with forms to be filled out and forwarded to the labor department agent in charge of the zone in which the office is located. The distribution branch of the immigration service handles this part of the work, and to them also go the reports of the department of agriculture agents as to sections where help is needed in harvesting or other work. Applicants are then to be informed of the place where they can obtain work of the kind they seek and at the nearest point to them. The postal service acting as the distributing and collection agency for applications and replies throughout the transactions. In the readiness of the system, Commissary Canninetti said the plan was not a must, but the product of months of labor details. Already, he said, it had been tried out in a small way, and the results had been most satisfactory. After the fire at Salem, Mass., last June, when nearly 4,000 factory operatives were thrown out of employment, the labor department succeeded in finding work for many of them. 'DEAF AND DUMB.' CRIES 'OH!' Girl Asking Alms and Getting Them Steps on Electric Buzzer. Brazil, Ind.—A deaf and dumb girl who represented herself to be from Danville, Ill., visited this city recently, soliciting charity. She carried a well worn document and several alleged sworn statements of officials of Danville that she was deaf and dumb and worthy of all charity which might be bestowed. She did well until she stepped on a doormat at the office of Dr. Robert Hawkins. The mat was equipped with an electric buzzer. The young lady was so startled by this buzzer that she jumped and shouted "Oh!" Before the police could arrest her she had taken an interurban car for towns that have no buzkers under the doormats. Pegud Worth a Whole Corps. Paris. The French aviator Peydon's value to the allies is estimated as equivalent to one army corps. He flicks eight days a day and destroys many German lives and much property. Although he has had several aeroplanes destroyed, he has not been hurt. Whale Sunk by Shells. London. - A whale mistaken for a submarine was riddled with three inch shells by warships off the Dutch coast. The whale died. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

The so-called white people of Atlanta, Georgia have discovered that "Uncle om's Cabin" grates on their "Uncle om's Cabin" grates on their model the plot, change the morals of the characters and give Simon Legree a halo. Yielding to the demands of a score of women's organizations, led by the Daughters of the Confederacy, the Memorial Association and the Pioneer Society, the management agreed to produce the play under the name of "Old Plantation Days." The manager informed the women that he had out out the whipping post, eliminated the auction block and made Simon Legree almost a saint. But not until he agreed to change the name was there the least yielding by the women. In other words, the so-called white women of Atlanta emasculated "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Harriet Beecher Stowe's great story which aroused the nation and did more than any other one thing to wipe the great infamy of slavery from this country. "Uncle Tom's Cabin," censored into "Old Plantation Days," will bear little resemblance to the original and true story. The Atlanta women have taken the "story" out of history. WILSON AND BEREAL President Wilson is at it again. He was the principal speaker at a meeting held in Washington in the interest of Berea College, Kentucky, and as usual said some things which were long on rhetoric and lofty sentiment, but short on fact and sheerity. For instance, in speaking of the work of the college, the Pesident declared that its object was to "do what America was intended to do, to give people who had not had it an opportunity and to give it to them upon absolutely equal terms, upon a basis not of birth but of merit." There was a time when that was the object of Berea, but it is no longer true. When John G. Fee—God bless his name—the founder of the college THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes con- The human race haunt test.

Both classes were learning the great lesson of human equality by studying together in the same class room and Berea was doing a great work in breaking down ancient prejudices. Then came one Frost and like his name he was a great bight upon the school. While pretending to work in the interest of the institution he was really trying to disrupt it and it is said that he more than any other worked up the sentiment which culminated in the infamous act of the Kentucky legislature making the teaching of white and colored students in the same class room a penal offense. "What America has venerated above all things else," said the President, "is that native ability has nothing to do with social origin. It is very amusing sometimes to see the alms that high society gives itself. The world could dispense with high society and never miss it. High society is for those who have stopped working and no longer have anything important to do." This is very true, but President Wilson has himself drawn the line between the classes outside of social lines. It is not nearly so wrong for "society" to assume "alrs" in social matters as it is for the President to advocate that one-tenth of the people of the country shall be set apart as parliaments, not even fit to work in the same room with other citizens. ANOTHER INDIAN REGISTER President Wilson has nominated Houston B. Teehee, a Cherokee Indian, of Talaquah, Okla., to be Register of the Treasury to succeed Gabe E. Parker, an alleged Indian who resigned to become commissioner of the Five Civilized Tribes. The hundred or more hungry colored Democratic candidates who have been hanging around and licking their chops in anticipation of a delicious morsel have received another shock from their friend and leader. CHARITY MAKES COWARDS. "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 thieves 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 syciophants. Great God deliver the people from such charity and give them justice.

"RACIAL WAR." Viscount Bryce, former British ambassador at Washington, in a recent lecture at London University on "Racial Sentiment as a Factor in History," traced the origin of the present war to feelings of racial consciousness and national vanity developed during the last 150 years by the American and French revolutions. "Racial war," Viscount Bryce said, "has now led to a war conflagration on a scale vaster than the world ever has seen. "What most is needed is the elimination of those feelings, the teachings of which in most nations breed jealousy and hatred and prompt men to defiance and aggression." "Every race and nation must learn that it ought not, even in its own interest, to desire predominance or seek to enforce its own type on tac world." These words ought to be carefully considered in the United States where there is a constant tendency to stir up racial feeling. It is worse here than in any other country because in this country all other classes have united against the colored people. Prior to 1912 this was largely a question of locality, but since the incoming of the Wilson Democratic Administration every effort has been made to nationalize racial antipathies. The most bitter harangues have been made against the colored people in Congress, where the speakers have endeavored to make up with vituperation what they have lacked in logic; infamous laws have been offered and have actually passed one branch of that legislative body, and the President of the United States, sworn to uphold the Constitution, has come out as a defender of racial segregation. The endeavor has been made to legislate the colored people nationally into a separate and inferior status and make them "negroes" instead of American citizens. The American people must learn that the republic can not endure unless all citizens are on the same civil and political level. If the incitement of racial friction continues there may come to this country an internecine war as destructive as the conflict now raging in Europe. In another column we publish an article from the pen of Ralph W. Tyler, former auditor for the navy, in which he makes many good points against the use of "negro" as a race name. Mr. Tyler is right. The colored people of America are Americans and not "negroes." Any man who uses the word "negro" to describe the Americans who happen to be darker than other Aemiricans does himself and his children a great wrong. 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 block- 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 for nine out of ten lynchings is the fact that the victims are black. President Wilson has nominated the present Register of the Treasury, Gabe E. Parker, to be superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes in Oklahoma, and the Senate has confirmed the appointment. Who is to take Parker's place we wot not. The Germans seem not to be troubled as to the ultimate outcome of the war being in their favor. The Reichstag has just voted a new war tax credit of $1,250,000,000. n who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- odgment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- KNOT TIED IN EYE MUSCLE New Operation Marks Distinct Advance in Otto Surgery. Vineland in Optic Surgery. Philadelphia.—A remarkable operation, representing the latest step in the development of assisting a method of trying knots in the muscles of the eye to shorten the muscles of the eye to shorten the store muscular balance, thereby curing squint eyes, was described here recently. The operation has been named the "O'Connor method," after the originator, a western physician. The usual surgical operation for squint eyes is to shorten one of the eye muscles by taking out a section, but it has the disadvantage that frequently the sutures used to refasten the muscle will become too short of the strain. In the new method the muscle is taken up by the muscle itself and there is no tearing of the sutures. One of the hospital physicians said. "in the few cases in which the new operation has been applied the suture seems to be soon absorbed, the knots of muscle gradually flatten out, with the muscle, making the muscle longer, and the bone does its work on moving the eyeball and exerting the pulling action, which brings the eye in alignment with the other one. The operation can be used in both types of squint, convergent as well as divergent" by shortening the proper muscle. The new operation is properly interesting and is a distinct advance in the surgery of the eye." SECOND STRAWBERRY CROP. Fruit Picked in November on Baltimore County Farm. Baltimore. - Picking strawberries from a patch in the open air on a Baltimore county farm was the privilege this month of Miss Henrietta Sewell and Isabel I. Gibson of this city. They were members of a week end house party at the home of T. Vickery Wedge, wife of the Montgomery Gildean farm, near Woodenburg. In the morning they were invited to visit the strawberry patch, and Miss Sewell says they found enough of the ripe, musculous fruit to give each a bountiful plate. The berries were the second growth in the patch, which had borne quite prolifically during the berry season. The patch was well protected from the cold north winds, as Mount Gildean is a rolling tract of land affording good protection for the growth of fruits of all kinds late in it—year. Newspaper Man Loses Memory and Forgets His Past. Lyons, Kan.—Walking out of his office in the middle of a busy day, leaving his family, friends and fortune and wandering through three states in search of one who would identify him and tell him who he was, is the strange story of Frank L. Funch, a newspaper man of Littleton, Colo., who under the name of F. S. O'Dell was employed last winter as expert in the office of the Lyons Republican. About two weeks after his disappearance in response to a query for a lino-tape operator addressed to a Great Bend paper, F. S. O'Dell arrived in Lyons and went to work. He seemed satisfied with his job, and the Republican force had no thought Saturday night that he would "hit the road" before Monday morning. Since January O'Dell seems to have wandered around Kansah and to bungnuts "hisself". When there were crowds O'Dell went. He visited newspaper offices hoping some itinerant printer would recognize him. A short time ago he was working in a newspaper office in Clear Lake, Ia. While there his attention was attracted by an item signed "C. O. F." Julesburg, Colo. asking "F. L. F." to communicate with him. O'Dell wrote. Clarence O. Finch recognized the handwriting as that of his brother and telegraphed him at once. O'Dell answered that there had been a mistake—that he was not the man wanted. While changing cars at Omaha he made a call to doing and appealed to the police for assistance. The letter from his brother was found in his pocket, and he was notified. C. O. Finch came to Omaha on the first train and immediately recognized the man as his brother, Frank L. Kinch. KILLS COYOTE IN HOUSE. Animal Invades Home and Explores Several Rooms. Cottage Grove, Ore.-Coyotes have been committing many depredations in Crook county, according to a letter from Mrs. Fannie Morses of Foost. One night the family of J. R. Knox was awakened by an unusual noise upstairs. Mrs. Knox went into the yard and could see a coyote tearing and biting at the window of the upstairs room in an effort to get out. Mr. Knox shot the animal. An investigation showed that it had got in the house through a bedroom window through the tracks being plain on the bed that it had climbed over. The animal went through several rooms before going upstairs. Mrs. Morses says that there have been many reports of rabid coyotes in that section, and that few go out after night without being well armed. "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. WOUNDED, STICKS TO POST. Directa British Ship From Chair In Turkish Attack on Riyadh Turkish Attack on Suz. London. The Carlo correspondent of the Daily Chronicle telegraphs as follows: "A stirring little story of quiet heroism displayed during a battle against Turkish invaders the other day has been told me here. The hero of the incident is a pilot named Carew, who was on board the Hardinge, one of the ships on the canal helping to repel the Ottoman attack. "He came under the heaviest fire, and he was severely wounded in an arm and a leg. He would not, however, leave his post, although suffering terribly. "Bring me a chair and prop me up, he said to one of the crew. 'I will see you through.' "The gallant pilot is now in a hospice, where it was found necessary to amputate his legs. Happily he is making good progress, and his recovery is assured." HOW TO CURE HAY FEVER. Pick Your Favorite Pollen, Brew Vaccine and Inoculate. Boston--Summer trips to high altitudes will be no longer necessary to hay fever sufferers if the experiments announced by Dr. Harris P. Mosher at the Harvard medical school fulfill his expectations. The hospital has been experimenting to find a vaccine for hay fever, and at a public lecture before the medical school he explained that if a hay fever patient could decide on the particular flower or weed pollen which caused his affection he had only to inoculate himself with a vaccine made from extracts of this pollen to become immune to its infection. The only effect thus far noticed from inoculation with pollen serum, the physician sald, was a local rash, which vanished in a short time. IF YOU WOULD GET THIN, EAT CELERY Chicago Woman Has Reduced Twenty-five Pounds. Chicago. — “There is no reason for any healthy woman to weigh more than 130 pounds if she has any moral courage,” said Mrs. May Belle McArthur. “Look at me. “This is my twenty-third day of fasting,” I’m cheerful, I’m happy. I weigh twenty-two pounds less than when I started. I haven’t any intention of giving up until I’m down to 123 pounds. “I aspire to 125 pounds because stout women can’t think so well as medium weight ones. They can’t look so beautiful or feel so well.” In the twenty-three days of her fast Mrs. McArthur ate two stalks of celery a day. One glass of water a day is necessary. “Celery is all I’ve eaten for almost a month,” she said. “I don’t mind the fasting much.” “What do you eat for breakfast, Mrs. McArthur?” was asked. "Nothing," she replied. "For lunchche?" "Nothing. Sometimes a glass of water." "For dinner?" "Ahl!" breathed Mrs. McArthur. "Two stalks of celery. "I don't exercise except to walk. I walk several miles every day." "Do you think all women, if in good health, could reduce as you have done?" "Absolutely. The trouble with women is cowardice. They like the sensation of eating too much. They would rather taste a chocolate drop than be able to think rapidly or move about gracefully." "Do you consider dieting infallible?" "Indeed. I do. Look at me. My figure has improved every day since I started, and there is little room left for further improvement. Most women are lazy-downright. They start to exercise, keep it up for two weeks, keep it up for two weeks, start to diet, keep it up for two meals, or two days and then slip." "Stout women are handcapped a great deal in life. If they are indifferent about their weight and happy in spite of it, well and good. But those who long and dream of getting thin are more to be scolded than pitted. All women are not good at water and maybe watermelon, drink water and walk. They're bound to reduce." SHIP SHOWS IDENTITY Holland-America Liner Equipped With Huge Electric Sign. New York.—In accordance with the order from the government of The Netherlands the Holland-American liner Nieuw Amsterdam, from Rotterdam, had her name painted on each side in huge capital letters before she started for the other side. Of the same size as the painted lettering will be arranged huge electric light signs spelling the name of the ship. These will be located amidships and can be read at a distance of several miles. **Armies' Health Excellent.** London.—After five months observation surgical experts report that all records for health have been upset by this war.

We are not ready to concede that any body of citizenship has less standing under the law than any other. If the south wishes to make any such issue as this it will find that the north, where there is prejudice, is nevertheless restless when as a part of the nation it is asked to declare that the main principle of the nation is a piece of hypocrisy and does not apply where it is inconvenient.

Independent 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 citizens 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 comment. It is rather late in our country’s history to separate any class of 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 a mission to the United States, a degree of LL D.; Prof. Dickens, a honor man at Yale; DU Bols, the editor of “The Crisis”; former Assistant Attorney-General Lewis; and William Monroe Trotter must be put into separate cars in Washington as being unaware 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 the building of Congressional Library and other public libraries will have an object lesson hourly before them in the separation and degradation of our fellow citizens. This is much more objectionable, 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 street cars, taxcabs or any vehicle transported by Congressional Conductors, porters, etc., are authorized as special police for its enforcement. Premidated. That this is a part of a previously determined and clearly defined Southern policy is obvious from a letter written 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 "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 are passed at the coming term of Congress." From this it appears that he wishes himself to be the main part of the city, ride only on cars set apart for them, and to deprive him of many things where they can can see, be blessed, living.

WILLIAM D. BRIGHAM OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION. That we much rather have associates among ourselves, is a saying by Colored Americans that has become almost true. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and an utter impossibility for the two races to describe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race work out its own salvation. The "theory" has tried and resulted in a ghastly failure, and the false and treacherous leadership that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and bounds. We have heeded too well, and we have not inevitably follow. We have followed that we have fully and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is the most pleasing pieces of legislation, since that it defenseless and at the mercy of white brutes — separate schools, cars, and even legislating to exclude further. Negro immigration. These are not resistance, but same efortony and legislation will be manhood rights taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress offers legislation degrading and inimical to our well being. Race prejudice will be worn down by attrition. We must children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and become accustomed to one another. WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION.

The spacious carlors were filled with repose and the of the Twin Cities and it proved to be a very delightful affair. The host made a few remarks stating the object of the occasion and was followed by remarks from Mr. T. H. Lyles, B. S. Smith, Esq., Mr. J. E. Johnson and Mr. J. Litus. Mr. Hilzer most happily responded. During the course of Mrs. F. E. Lyles sang several duets and master Johnson gave some plano selections. Dainty refreshments were served and all were highly delighted with the good time everybody had. The County Option bill, as passed by the State Legislature, is not thoroughly understood by many persons. The measure provides that when 25 per cent of the voters in a county or for an election, the county auditor shall give thirty days, nor sooner than 40 days, call the election to vote on the license question. If the "wets" win, towns can exercise local option, but if the "drys" win, the entire county goes "dry", and the issue cannot come up again for three years, whichever way the election goes. The measure also provides a period of six months shall elapse before some can be abolished after a county vote "drys". a matter of fact, if the "drys" win any other counties, the saloons will not be abolished for many months, perhaps not before January 1st.

"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 a need 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 control the sale of "dope." The measure goes into effect March 1st. Another interesting feature of the convention was the statement made by M. D. Martin, a druggist of Northfield, Minn. He said that the 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.

Chicago.—That an innocent man was executed here in 1894, when George H. Palmer was hanged for the murder of Alice Martin, is the statement made in a letter received by Chief of Police Gleason from a person signing himself "R. W. Barter" of Buffalo, Sangamon county, Ill. The writer asked that Painter's relatives be found and promised to remove the stigma from the family. Painter's last words on the scaffold were a declaration that he was not guilty. Alice Martin, Painter's sweetheart, was beaten to death in 1891, and Painter was arrested nine months later. After two years of fighting the prisoner was convicted and executed. On the scaffold he said: "If I killed Alice Martin, the girl I dearly loved, the woman I loved so much that I would almost commit any crime for her, I pray this minute, my last minute on earth, that the eternal God will put me into eternal hell." The condemned man raised his voice and continued: "Look here, gentlemen, if there is one man among you who is an American I say to him on his soul—on his soul, I say—see that the murderer of Alice Martin is found." The scaffold prayer was delivered by the Rev. A. P. Moerdyke, who said: "May he whom so many believe innocent of this crime join thee in everlasting life for the sake, O Lord, of thy son Jesus Christ, our Lord." Gleason said he would take no steps in the matter except to look for Painter's relatives to make known to them Painter's request. TOWN TURNS OUT TO PAN GOLD IN STREETS Sumner, Wash.—Excitement prevailied in Sumner following the news of a "gold" strike made on Main street by Frank Kelly, an ex-alaskan miner of nine years' experience. For several hours forty men and boys panned the mud in the gutter and proudly exhibited the "dust." Kelly staked out a twenty acre mining claim, including the heart of the city, and two hours later the claim was jumped by Jesse Childs. The local druggist, Bill Naysmith, who made a hasty nitric acid test of the glittering metal, pronounced it pure gold. Kelly was sweeping the sidewalk in front of the Kelly and Darr grocery on Main street when he saw bright specks the size of pin heads in the mud in the gutter. He hastily got a ple tin and panned some of the mud containing half a spoonful of the dust. Taking it to Naysmith, he was assured after an acid examination it was real gold. Kelly then obtained a government mining claim blank and filled it out. The claim was named the D. & K. claim. The location was the regular twenty acres allowed by the government. The filed claim sheet was nailed to a two foot board that was placed upright between two bricks at the edge of the street. By this time, however, the report of the strike had gone out, and as Kelly went to mark the four corners of his claim others began to appear with pans of all descriptions. Brooms, shovels and all kinds of implements for collecting a pile of the valuable dirt were pressed into service. Tom Frye and several others ran to the fire house and brought out the fire hose. When this was turned on to sluice the street a number of the slower miners got a bath. Frye obtained a bottleful of the "gold" mixed with the black sand and boasted that it contained at least $500 worth. By 2 o'clock the street had been swept as clean as a billiard table, the first time it has been washed clean since it was laid, it was said. The metal was pronounced to be pyrites of iron, or "fool's gold." by Streeter Beall of Puyallup after microscopic and beaten nitric acid tests. It was admitted by all, however, that it looked to be real gold, and being found in black sand was an added indication in its favor. The sand that fell on the streets was from gravel and sand wagons hauling it from a gravel bank near the Stuck river. Mayor Wants Municipal Church. San Bernardino, Cal.-Mayor J. W. Catick issued a statement advocating the abolishment of all churches in the city and the building in their stead, by a bond issue, of a tabernacle seating more than 2,500 and the appointment of a municipal minister, who would administer the spiritual needs of San Bernardino. He also proposed the appointment of a municipal minister, who must perform all marriages and officiate at all funerals free; the prohibition by law of the soliciting of funds from congregations; the entire city to be members of the church, which would be maintained by municipal taxation. "Let us have only one good route to heaven and a municipal minister to point the way." concluded the mayor. Joffre Doesn't Read Papers. Paris.-General Joffre, the French commander, has not read a newspaper since the war began, it is said, and the only thing in the way of letters he has written were brief notes to his wife and sister. The regular monthly meeting of the St. Paul branch of the National Independent Equal Rights League was held at St. James Mission 319 E. Seventh street last Monday evening there was a fair attendance and several new members were received. Mr. T. H. Lyles was the principal speaker, and his remarks were quite apropos. Addresses were also made by Mrs. T. H. Lyles, Mrs. Ethel Maxwell, Rev. J. S. Strong, W. H. Gaston, and Mr. J. Gay. The meeting was quite interesting throughout. The next meeting will be held at same place Monday evening, April 5. Public cordially invited.

Professor Charles Frederick Chandler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, declares that beer is the best brain food. In a recent address he said: "Beer 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 new milk. Beer is one of the foods that is free fromeria. It is appetizing and aids digestion. I don't believe there is any beer made in the United States that is 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." READ THIS PLEASE EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL knows whether he or she has paid for it or not. EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it; and, it is a violation of honesty, honor and law not to do so. THIS IS THE ONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Are, you, reader, honest, honorable and law-abiding? Think about it! and law-sawing? Think about it. There is no law to compel any one to receive a newspaper who does not wish to do so, but there is a law that compels you to pay for a newspaper if it is received. There are many persons who receive THE APPEAL as regularly as it is issued, but who have failed to pay for it. Think about it! Don't stop at thinking about it, either, but kindly come or send to the office and pay what you honestly, honorably, legally owe. There is not one, single subscriber on our list who is ACTUALLY UNABLE to pay for it if they desire to do so is strong enough.
