RITTMAN SECRETS A GIFT TO PUBLIC Supply of Former Commodity to Be Increased 200 Per Cent—This Nation Will No Longer Be Dependent on Foreign Countries For Products Used in Manufacture of Necessities. Washington. — The statement was made at the department of the interior that the two processes discovered by Dr. Walter F. Rittman whereby the output of gasoline from petroleum can be increased 200 per cent and whereby toluol and benzol can be manufactured from crude petroleum for use in the dye industry, have been patented by Dr. Rittman for the benefit of the American people. It is claimed that the Rittman process is more economical than the German method of obtaining these products from coal tar. "Just as soon as persons want to avail themselves of the Rittman discoveries," said an official of the bureau of mines, "the bureau under proprietors' armaments and regulations will place them at their disposal." The first of these processes promises to enable the independent refiners in this country to increase their output of gasoline from petroleum 200 per cent or more, according to Secretary Lane, who says: "With an estimated production on the part of the independent refiners of 12,000,000 barrels of gasoline in a year this will mean an output from independents alone of 36,000,000 barrels, greater than the total production today from the second process includes the manufacture from crude petroleum of what are known chemically as toluol and benzol, both of which have been hereto- Photo by American Press Association. DR. WALTER P. RITTMAN. fore obtained from coal tar. As Germany has specialized far beyond other countries in byproducts from coal, the United States and the rest of the world have been dominated by that country as regards those products of coal and benzol, which are the important classes for the production of dyestuffs and high explosives, especially smokeless powder. The discoverer of these two valuable processes after many years of research is Dr. Walter F. Rittman, chemical engineer of the bureau of mines, the work have been done at Columbia university, New York, the facilities of the laboratory there having been turned over to the federal government of the United States Murray Butler, president of the university. Application has been made by Dr. Rittman on behalf of the federal government to patent these processes to prevent any monopoly in their use, the patents to be dedicated to the American people. The federal government through the efforts of Dr. Rittman proposes to make free for the use of all of the people in the country, and wish it that is economically easier to increase their yields of gasoline from crude petroleum fully 200 per cent and perhaps more, such results having been repeatedly obtained in the laboratory. It is claimed by Dr. Rittman that his process is safer, simpler and is more economical in time than the processes now in use, and these are economic factors of great importance. The second process discovered by Dr. Rittman may prove of much more value to the country than the first in that it suggests the establishment of an industry that would have been pre-eminent—the dyssulfust industry—and also promises indirectly a measure of national safety of incalculable import. The federal government now proposes to obtain the toluol and benzo[f] from crude petroleum. The real comfort is that we have the knowledge that this new source of supply is at the command of our people and that in time of great national stress, if the nation itself, we will be able to manufacture the most efficient and most powerful explosives known in warfare. DEATH RATE STATISTICS. 14.1 Per 1,000 in 1913 Compared With 13.9 in 1912. Washington.—A death rate in 1913 of 14.1 per 1,000 of the estimated population in the registration area of the United States compared with 13.9 per 1,000 in 1912 is shown in a report by the census bureau. The number of deaths in the registration area, containing about two-thirds of the population, was approximately 890,948. Washington state showed the lowest rate, being 8.5 per 1,000, while New Hampshire's was the highest, with 7.7. The lowest rate shown in 1913 by the of the fifty registration cities, with populations of 100,000 or over in 1910, was that for Seattle, which was 8.4, while Memphis showed the highest, with 20.8. The average age at death for both sexes from all causes combined was 39.8; for males alone, 39.2; for females, 40.6. Nearly 18 per cent of all deaths were of infants under one year of age, and more than 25 per cent were of children under five years. The death rate from tuberculosis declined from 149.5 per 100,000 population in 1912 to 147.6 in 1913. The rate from cancer rose from 63 per 100,000 in 1900 to 78.9 in 1913. The number of suicides was 9,098, the rate being 15.8 per 100,000 with 16 in 1912. ANY SHAPE TRUNK CAN GO. Baggage Smashers In Despair, but Commerce Commission Is Firm. Washington. — The ladies trump again and carry to victory with them the trunk makers, costumers, actors—everybody who uses those newfangled five sided trunks with conical protuberances, slant sides and unconventional tops. The interstate commerce commission told the railroads they cannot exclude pentagonal trunks from the regular baggage service. The railroads wanted to charge excess rates on any trunk not cut on the square. The commission's decision has filled the baggagemasters with despair. Laminated one in the Pennsylvania's service: "Just imagine trying to fill a baggage car with conical trunks, trunks with slant sides and trunks cut in every shape from a doughnut to a starfish. What are you going to put on top of a trunk shaped like the pyramids, eh?" COLORADO CONVICTS HAVE BASEBALL TEAM Warden Rewards Good Prisoners by Allowing Them to Play. Canon City, Colo.-Warden Tom J. Tynn of the Colorado penitentiary, described as "the man who put 'man in humanity' in the man's hands," announced that he is organizing a baseball team among the convicts—his "wards," as he always calls them. Tynn was the first penitentiary warden to install moving pictures and the first to try the system of rewards for good conduct by sending the best behaved convicts to build and improve the roads of the state. He proposes to have a baseball team to compete with teams of the state league and other teams from the surrounding towns and cities. Tynn is a baseball "fan" himself. "I've got some crackerjack material down here," says Tynn, "and I'm going to utilize it. A got housebreaker that can outrun Ty Cobb. Join the Feds? No chance. No bush leagues for us. We'll be in the AA class or none. The convict team will go into training as soon as a wall is built around four acres of ground which the warden has laid out for the purpose. Teams throughout the state will be invited to play the convicts on "the home grounds." Later in the season the warden may take his team on two or three short trips. If possible he will arrange a game with the Denver Grizellies of the Western league. "I will use the prison baseball team to encourage good behavior among the men," he says. "To be permitted to play on the team or to watch its games will be a privilege bestowed only on the best behaved. The moment a player breaks a prison rule he no longer should be awarded a member of the team, and the reward will convictant will be barred from the games. "Since we have had moving picture shows for the prisoners there have been 470 less reports of bad behavior. For a slight infraction of the prison rules the privilege of attending the prison movie entertainments is taken away for a certain period. We have a housel of movie fans, and most of them would rather suffer any kind of physical punishment than miss the pictures thrown on the screen in the chapel every two weeks." **Gets Letter From Wreck.** Fergus Falls, Minn., Professor J. O. A. Larson of the Park Region college here received a letter recently that went down with the Empress of Ireland, who was gone from the envelope, but the letter was in a good state of preservation and easily read. It was rescued from the wreck by divers. Mr. Larson was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, England, at the time the vessel sank, and the letter was addressed to him there and was forwarded to England and then to this city. WIRE NETTING ON PALACE. Royal London Home Protected From Aerial Attack. London.—The north wing of Buckingham palace is now being covered with a wire netting about twenty feet above the roof. This is the wing containing the living apartments of the royal family. Additional anti-air craft guns have been placed in the neighborhood of the palace, one having been set up in the center of Green park in the last week. If a Zeppelin should be seen hovering over the palace there are at least a half dozen guns which would open fire upon it. Additional preparations are being made most every day to fight airships over London. While many of the art treasures in the museums have been removed to places of greater safety, there have been vigorous complaints in some newspapers that valuable pictures, sculptures or objects of art should still remain exposed to the possibility of aerial attack on the galleries. WHO SWALLOWS DICTIONARY? Question Disturbing Missouri Legislators—Have Already Last Three. Jefferson City, Mo.-The house discovered recently that it was struggling along without a dictionary when a resolution was introduced to buy a new one for use of members. "I'd like to know what became of the big dictionary we bought two years ago?" Representative J. M. Bowers asked. "I remember volunteered information." "I'd like to know what became of the dictionary we had four years ago." Bowers persisted. Silence. "I'd like to know who took the dictionary we bought six years ago," he demanded. More silence. "Well, it's getting pretty tough when they steal a dictionary from a Missouri girl, and remarked the gentleman from Wayne. Whereupon the house bought another dictionary. WOMAN NEVER SLEEPS; AWAKE SEVEN YEARS Sits Up All Night In Chair and Tries to Rest. Seattle, Wash.—Mrs. Edward Hauck of this city says she has slept only half an hour in the last seven years. Her husband substantiates her statement. Seattle physicians say it is impossible; that if Mrs. Hauck hasn't slept for seven years by all the laws of nature she would have been dead long ago. Two or three years ago one night she dazed off, she declares, and slept for two hours. Often now she feels sleepy and immediately lies down in the hope that the longed for unconsciousness will come. But it never does. She weighs twenty-five pounds less than she did seven years ago, when her long period of sleeplessness began. She suffered severely for the first two or three nights, she says. That's all. "It has come to be a sort of matter of fact condition with me now," she went on. "There is no pain, only a kind of dull feeling that weighs down on me. And the nights, you know, are so long when one is alone and everybody else in the room is sleeping." She passes little of her time in bed. Early in the evening she lies down with her little daughter, Irene Bell, a girl year and a half, until the child is in sleepy state and she gets up, clears her work and prepares for her long siege against the coming of daybreak. Edward Hauck, the husband, is employed as a cook. He works nights. "I worked in the daytime until recently, though," he said, "and slept here at home at night, and I know my wife is not mistaken when she says she spends her nights just as wide awake as she is during the day. Occasionally, when she tried going to bed, I d wake up and find her tossing beside me, always awake. Generally, though, she would be sitting in our one rocking chair, with the shaded lamp beside her, reading." Mrs. Hauck says she finds she can get more physical relaxation in a chair at night in bed. She makes the chair comfortable with bedclothes, partially disrobes and lies back to count off the hours. "She susms a plucky little person," her husband explains, "that she hardly ever complains about it and seems anxious only that baby and I get our rest." Mrs. Hauck sought relief from physicians in the east before coming to Seattle, three years ago from Berlin, ont, but could get none, she says. She has bought drugs and sleeping powders at various times, both with and without the advice of physicians. But nothing has helped, she says. Boy Plans Own Funeral. Minneapolis—Kenneth Booth Merrill, student at West High school, was buried recently in a casket of his own selection. Flowers used at the funeral and the music were chosen according to his expressed destre. Merrill had known more than a year age that he could not recover, and during the last few weeks had made all arrangements for his own funeral. PRINCE-CHAPLAIN LOVED BY TROOPS PRINCE-CHAPLAIN LOVED BY TROOPS Conducts Religious Exercises at the Front and is Never Stopped by Bursting Shell—Friend of French Prisoners, Who Send Messages to Relatives Through Chaplain. Berlin—There is perhaps no more popular man in the Saxon army than his royal highness Prince Max Willem August Albert of Saxony. Prince Max is not a soldier, but a chaplain. The "Father Max" of whom so many stories are related by the Saxons is none other than the younger brother of the present King Frederick III. of Saxony. A German writer said of him recently: "To all the heretic and picturequeens who have appeared in the tragic drama of the present war, none is more striking the Chaplain Prince Max of Saxony, the only person of royal blood serving in a spiritual capacity with any of the armies now battling in Europe. "This humble man of God is to be found wherever the battle is thickest, attending the wounded, dying extreme Photo by American Press Association. PRINCE MAX OF SAXONY. unction to the dying, saying mass beneath the shower of bursting shells. Father Max has carried into the ghastly arena of conflict, the most terrible the world has ever known, the simple spirit of Christian self sacrifice and love for his fellow man. There is no German so loved by the French prisoners of the Germans, to whose wreture he devotes a great deal of his time." In the Glorionale d'italia of Rome an Italian correspondent recently told the story of this remarkable prince and priest. He wrote: "In Lorraine I found the most unusual of army chaplains, Prince Max of Saxony, the brother of the king of Saxony. The prince is at the front as a regimental chaplain of one of the Saxon commands. Wherever the battle is most stubbornly contested there you may be quite sure you will find Father Max. "On one occasion I saw him when he was conducting mass in the little Roman Catholic church at Epinal, only a few kilometers distant from the firing position, and the management was in progress and shells were plodding over the church, the fragments often falling into the auditorium, where Father Max was saying mass. Two of the windows had been shattered by the shells, but the prince priest proceeded calmly, as if nothing unusual was happening, to read the service before a congregation that seemed to be as calm and as unconcerned as he himself was. "Among the French prisoners and the French wounded that have fallen into Saxon hands Father Max enjoys unlimited popularity. The French seem to love the gentle priest just as much as do his own Saxons not only because of the tender and fatherly interest he takes in them, particularly because he is always ready to exert his send word through the international bureau in Geneva to their relatives and friends in France and in numerous other ways to labor to make their unhappy lot to bear. "On another occasion I attended a service, in the course of which Prince Max preached to men of his regiment. It was a regiment of Saxon riflemen. "Brave sons, courageous, faithful fighters," said he, "may God take you under his protection. God protect you, youths, and God preserve you, white haired men, for your children and your fatherland. And if it is not God's will that be so be, then remember, we warriors of Germany, that no soldier ever fell for a more righteous or holy cause that which you are defending in this terrible war. Whether you live or die, your names will your will not be forgotten, and your wives will children will bless and honor your memories as long as breath remains in their bosoms. You will always be under the protection of those hands which we have known and loved since childhood, and which lift us high above the misery of this earthly life." Animal, Infamed by Red Sweater. Pursues Her to Trouble. Pursues Her to Trollie. Boulder, Colo.—The presence of mind and prompt action of Larry Fox, a motorman of a Denver and interurban car out of Boulder, saved Edith Fair from death or serious injury. Wearing a red sweater Miss Fair, who is housemaid at the home of Frank Anderson, on the eastern limits of the city, started for the junction to intercept the car to Denver. While hurrying across a vacant lot she heard the bellowing of a big bulb. One glance was sufficient to warn Miss Fair that she was the object of attraction of the maddened animal. The terrified woman fled toward the railway track with the enraged beast not more than fifty yards behind her. The interurban car at this moment shot around the curve, but a short distance away. Motorman Fox was quick to see the young woman's danger, and after turning off the current, the brakes jumped from the vestibule, seized her by the wrist and lifted to the car almost at the same instant, the animal brushed against the coach. Miss Fair, who had fainted when the excitement was over, was soon revived, but postponed her trip to Denver. August Harding, the owner of the bull, says he has never known the animal to act unruly before, and attributes its antics to the red sweater Miss Fair was wearing. WOODPECKER ROBS A TOWN. Causes Short Circuit Resulting In Excessive Water Bill. Iiwaco. Wash.-A woodpecker is blamed for large additions to Iiwaco's bill for pumping city water. The contract for filling the municipal reservoir is let to a power company and the water officer notifies the engineer when the required depth of water has been provided. For some months the bill has been regarded as excessive and the number of hours required daily to fill the basin has varied to a marked degree. Investigation has placed the blame on an innocent woodpecker which chose one wire for a perch and with a short circuiting the other wire made a short circuiting the engineer's signal to stop pumping was controlled by the woodpecker's rest rather than the depth of water provided. benton Harbor, Mich.—In an isolated shanty, set down in a secluded spot on the lake shore, Jacob Goldstein died a day or two. He. He. He. an outcast, a menace to mankind and a terror to body his weeping mother and his devoted father were by his side. He could not see him, for the disease that claimed him had destroyed his eyes. But caring nothing for any risk they ran, mother and father were faithful to the end. That his son from some mysterious cause had developed leprosy caused the elder Goldstein's financial ruin and his family's ostracism. He kept a small general store in suburban Benton Harbor, and he and his family were in comfortable circumstances when— The whisper. "Young Goldstein is a leper," swelled to a cry that echoed all over Benton Harbor and far beyond its limits. Overnight Goldstein's little business was ruined; the former customers were stoked; the other side of the street; former friends and family; they had ever known the Goldstein tried to provide for his family by peddling. As he trudged the roads the frightened warning went ahead of him. "Here comes the leper's father!" All doors were closed to him. The local health authorities asked the state of Michigan to care for the leper. The state refused. There is nothing in the health ordinances providing for such a case. The University of Michigan was ready to furnish isolated quarters for young Goldstein so its medical students might observe the progress of the disease, but Ann Arbor emphatically refused to admit a leper. So the shanty was built in the excluded spot among the hills near by. There the parents of the doomed boy joined him in exile. The most loathsome, the most dreaded of all humanills, the disease accursed, could not drive his parents from the boy. Under constant surveillance, these three existed like prisoners in a stockade until the merciful end came. QUIT JOBS AT WIVES' ORDER. Spouses Accuse Two Workmen at Jail of Being "Honor Brassens." of Being "Honor Prisoners." Racine, Wis.—Two men employed at the courthouse quit their jobs because they did not wish to be classed as "honor roll" jail prisoners. The men had sought employment at the courthouse because they had been laid off at factories. Their wives, reading an account of the employment of "honor" prisoners at the courthouse, accused their husbands of being under detention by the sheriff. Unable to convince the women to the contrary, they were forced to resign. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It takes no support but the people's. ANIMALS AND BIRDS TO TALK. So Say Garner, Who Has Spent Years Studying Monkey Language. Los Angeles, Cal. "There will come a day," says R. L. Garner, who tutored Matejkzin in the ways of animals, "when all animal and bird life will become articulate. A dream? Cannot the bee teach us a higher communism—the quick, effective elimination of the unfit and shiverer? Cannot the birds tell us their secret of flying? Would we not like to know why the orole, the oven bird or castle building ant are so much better engineers than we?" Garner says he thinks the gorilla and chimpanzee more civilized than man because they are more monogamous. Because they twenty-five years studying these animals will return there. It is from the gorilla and chimpanzee says, that "will come the first twin cables from which scientists will hang a bridge on which man and his lesser brothers of the world will meet in oracular converse." OLD HOTEL FOR HOMELESS St. Caroline's Court Once Was Social Favorite in Chicago. Chicago.-St. Caroline's Court hotel, which forty years ago was the center of many of Chicago's social functions, will become a shelter for unemployed and homeless men. The famous hostelry is richly decorated in marble tilting and art work imported from France. Marble staircases, a rotunda with art glass windows, inlaid wood and art work in the ballroom still remain to recall the old time splendors of the structure. The use of the hotel has been granted to the Christian Industrial league, which plans to provide free lodging to as many guests safely can be accommodated. Mattresses and blankets will be provided for 800. Shower baths also will be installed. Coffee beds will be given the men every morning without charge. The hotel will be maintained by funds given by charities. Austin, Tex.-James E. Ferguson of Temple, banker and farmer, inaugurated governor on Jan. 1, the first man to go direct from active business life into the office of chief executive of Texas. All of his predecessors had previously held political office of some kind. Governor Ferguson issued a statement in which he said he hoped to see more miles of railroad built in Texas of 1915 than in any previous year; the number of ships increased at least tenfold; the modern highways built; a new record in matter of immigration to the state; more boys and cattle raised than ever before, and greatly increased yield of corn and other grain. There was not a hint of politics anywhere in the message. Those intimately acquainted with the governor say his administration will be free from that species of politics which stirs up class antagonism; there will be no pitting of the farmers against the corporations. Having been a farmer all his life and a banker for many years, he wants these two interests to be friendly and co-operate. In his younger days he was a railroad laborer, and he helped to build many miles of track. During his campaign for governor he promised that he would not permit any liquor legislation, either pro or con, that subject if he could prevent it. Since he nullified the liquor law in some essential particulars, and it is known that bills will be introduced despite with the provisions thus voided, and the Prohibitionists claim a working majority in both houses. Lieutenant Governor W. P. Hobby of Beaumont, like Mr. Ferguson, never held public office and belongs to the conservative business element. He is owner and editor of the Beaumont Enterprise. SCIENTIST WHIPS POLECAT. Then University Gives Professor Two Weeks' Leave. Berkeley, Cal.-T. C. Hine, professor of the chemistry department of the University of California, fought a hard battle with a polecat in the library of the university recently. Victory perched on the crown of the savant after he had bombarded his antitheater with the choice volumes of the university library's modern literature and followed up his strategic move by tossing a hat box over the invader. A quantity of chloroform poured through a tiny hole in the box stopped the polecat's activities. The professor has been given a two weeks' leave of absence. **Objected to English Language.** Brussels.-German officers dining in a restaurant showed displeasure when two men near them conversed in English, and finally one officer announced that strangers would oblige if they would talk in English they imposed him. One of the English speaking men handed the German his card. It bore the name of Brand Whitlock, minister of the United States in Belgium. The German saluted and apologized. $2.40 PER YEAR: FORM LEGION FOR NATION'S DEFENSE Many Noted Men Are Back of the Volunteer Movement. Former Soldiers and Sailors Are In the First Line—Major General Leonard Wood and Colonel Roosevelt Are Enthusiastic Supporters—No Spirit of Militarian Aroused. New York—The first definite step toward the establishment of a military and naval reserve for national defense has been taken in the formation of the makes its bow and the people of this country with the enthusiastic endorsement of former President Theodore Roosevelt and Major General Leonard Wood. Its plans and purposes have been worked out at Governors Island under the guidance of Captain Gordon Johnston of General Wood's staff and from there Commander Robert K. Crank of the United States are temporarily located, and from there will come presently an announcement of the names of those who are to serve as members of the executive committee and board of honorary advisers. Colonel Roosevelt has already accepted the chairmanship of the latter body. It is the answer of patriotic and practical men to the agitation which has been on ever since the outbreak of the European war, and the attention to the fact that the United States is not prepared to defend itself. It is the purpose of this organization not only to enroll the fighting men of the country, the men who have seen service as soldiers or sailors, but also to enroll the men who have special training in any one of the half hundred callings which under the conditions of modern warfare are as essential to success as are military and naval equipment. The membership of this organization is to be made up not © by Clinedinst. MAJOR GENERAL LEONARD WOOD. of those who are willing to defend their country, but of those who can defend it. Those who are behind the organization are not imbued with the spirit of militarism. They agree with those who say that at a word from the president of the United States millions of men would swarm to the colors and that it is not necessary in time of peace that this country maintain a great standing army such as one associates with the word militarism. No military training in time of peace is involved, no increase in standing army, navy or militia, but there is contemplated a taking stock of resources so that in time of war the government would be able to lay its hand immediately. The government would be best qualified to cope with the threat. There will be two active branches of the legion. The line of the legion will be composed exclusively of men who have had army or navy service or who can handle a high power ride and are seasoned in taking care of themselves in the open. It is a fact not generally known perhaps that the United States army and navy keep no account of the thousands of men who are annually dropped from the service, either by resignation or by expiration of term of enlistment. They simply melt away into the great body of the population. It is of course generally known that in this country no data are kept of the activities of citizens that would enable the government in time of war to pick out at once the man or body of men who are supposed to be captured for a particular purpose. The selection is made after the man enlists and his professed qualifications are discovered only by actual trial of his abilities in the service of his country. The American legion proposes to do beforehand just what the government would have to do after it had enlisted a great volunteer army and navy. Men who have been trained as soldiers or sailors will be classified in detailed records as to physique, education, character of training and length of service. Men of special training in other fields will be classified in the same way and every applicant for membership will be carefully questioned and the nature of his qualifications thoroughly investigated.

SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1915. MINNESOTA'S PROTEST. Prior to the adjournment of Congress, the Saint Paul Branch of the National Independent Equal Rights League, through its president, sent letters to Minnesota's Senators, Knute Nelson and Moses E. Clapp, protesting against the enactment of jimcrow laws and asking their aid in preventing the passage of adverse legislation of any kind, especially the bills affecting the District of Columbia, one of which had already passed the House of Representatives. Since the adjournment of Congress, the following letters have been received and they speak for themselves as to the stand of our Senators in regard to such legislation: Washington, D. C., March, 1915. Dear Mr. Adams: Your letter to hand in due time. Congress has adjourned and the legislation to which you refer has failed to pass either house of Congress and I do not believe that such legislation is likely to pass in the future. Your truly. Knute Nelson. Washington, D. C., March, 1915. Dear Mr. Adams: Yours at hand. There is no danger of any adverse legislation. There was very little danger of any legislation relative to the District, because Senator Jones is a member of the District Committee and he is one of the most loyal of friends. I think there will be no trouble next session. At all events, you may depend upon it that before they get any adverse legislation they will realize they have encountered some apposition. With regards, I am cordially yours. Moses E. Clapp. WILSON AND BEREA. 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 sincerity. For instance, in speaking of the THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con- The human race ha- test.

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 was in charge Berea stood for opportunity upon a basis "not upon birth, but of merit." he white people and the colored people were being educated together. 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 bright up 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 vinicated 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 airs 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 even outside of social lines. It is not nearly so wrong for "society" to assume "als" 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 parishes, 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 Regi- ter 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 color- 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 MAKE 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 farious 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 THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma- scientious dischar- to stand alone; tha- tant, intolerant ju- demn, the counter- may be averted, friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w ances of relati I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. ce when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. 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. "BACIAL 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 vast 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 tax 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 vittuation 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 "negress" 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. T. Thomas Fortune, the veteran editor, who for some time has been editor of the Washington Sun, has severed his connection with that paper and goes to Indianapolis to join the editorial staff of the Indianapolis Ledger. The climate of Washington does not agree with Mr. Fortune, who has been more or less in bad health ever since he returned from the Philippines. It is hoped that the change will be beneficial in every way. A ray of hope comes from Butte, Mont., where Des Stewart, on trial for first degree murder, got a verdict of life imprisonment instead of being hung, because the jury did not desire the impression to go abroad that prejudice on account of color influenced the verdict. 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- dgment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- or the hearts of Mr. Morris Believes That He Should Be Rocked and Sung To. Greenwood. Del. - James Morris, eighty-four years old, has had trouble enough for the last twenty years with bolts, the rheumatism and dipsyism without the last blight, which he declares, has put him in a situation with Job, Mr. Morris is cutting teeth, a process which usually occurs before the suffering human is capable of effectively expressing himself in the matter. For years Mr. Morris has had but two teeth, which, thanks to Providence, hit. He has been getting on fairly well, but for the aforementioned aliments and had no hope of ever doing any heavy chewing again. Then four teeth appeared on his lower jaw, and this week two more started through, accompanied by the most annoying aches and jumps. With blacking nor, as a matter of fact, biting," said Mr. Morris, "but it had enough to make the teeth cut through without being so old and careless to rock you or sing you a trifling ditty that might 'produce sleep or total coma.' GIRL KILLS DEER NEAR HOME Young New Hampshire Huntress a Good Shot. Concord, N. H. -To Miss Ruth Gillman, fifteen years old, of Penecock, N. H., probably belongs the honor of being the youngest woman in New England to kill a deer this season. Thus far no one has disputed the honor. The 150 pound doe the little girl shot this week within a mile of her own home was the first deer she had ever fired at and one of a very few she had ever seen, although she had voiced the fields and woods of central New Hampshire since she was able to toddle and is an expert with the rifle or shotgun. She has killed scores of small game, squirrels, rabbits and partridge, but it had never been her good fortune to get a shot at a real live deer until this season, and then her first shot brought down the game. HOW TO SPELL NAME OF THE BADGER STATE "Wiskonsan" Correct, as Shown by an Old Document. Fond du Lac, WI. - V-I-s-k-o-n-s-n-needs to have been the perfectly proper way of spelling the name of this state in the old territorial days back in '44. Many pioneer residents of the state can remember when Wisconsin was a county clerk, but, by the Scaley, county clerk, has recovered a document which provides better evidence than memory. It is a certificate of election issued to Paul D. Hayward as justice of the peace in the township of Stockbridge, discovered June 2, 1844, and signed by Duane Doty, then territorial governor. Each of the three peoples who have successively occupied the state, Indiana, and Ohio, have left us in their names a record of their first impressions and sometimes even a trace of legendary history. The name of the state and of its greatest river, Wisconsin, is a corrupted form of an Indian term whose exact meaning is now unknown, though it has usually been translated "gathering of waters". Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Ouisconching, Ouiskensing, Wiskomans are a few of the spellings which appear in old documents and on time stained maps before the present form was evolved. The name of the largest lake within the state, Winnebago, suggests an interesting history of the Indian tribes whence it came. The original Algonquin form was "nunpeglou" meaning "men of the ill smelling water," a same which the tribe gained from having originally dwell on the shores of Lake Winnebago, well known for its odorous sulphur springs. TYPHOID COSTS $3,000,000. Loss In Year to Kansas Estimated by Health Official. Topeka, Kan.-Typheld fever in Kansas is costing the state $3,000 a day, according to Dr. S. J. Crumble, secretary of the state board of health. There are three typheld districts in Kansas now, more than at any time in the past. Twelve hundred students at the Agricultural college have been inoculated with the typheld serum. "There were 336 deaths from typheld in Kansas this year and about 4,500 cases," said Dr. Crumble. "The economic value of a life in Kansas is estimated at $5,000, and the average cost of attendance and funerals is $300. Flighting on the basis, typheld cost Kansas more than $3,000,000, not counting the loss of time of the patients." Called Emperor a Rascal. Paris—Before he was sentenced to life imprisonment by court martial for assisting 350 Belgians to join the army in France, General Fife, a retired Belgian general, told the court Emperor William was a rascal and asked for a death sentence. Prince Has Portrait Painted. Berlin—the German crown prince, instead of being dead or badly wounded, has had his portrait painted in oils at the front. 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. FRANK JAMES IS DYING. One of Brothers, Formerly Notorious as One of brothers, Formerly Notorious as highwaysman, Has Heart Disease. Excelsior Springs, Mo.-Frank James, one of the James brothers, notorious as highwaysman shortly after the war between the states, was stricken with heart disease and was reported dying as a James home, near here. He is seventy 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 sacking of 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 outaws. Many crimes were decided following the war have been made in the name of James Younger gang, of which the only members left are Frank James and Cole Younger, now living at Lee's Summit, Mo. Among their deeds were: The raid on the Commercial bank at Liberty, Mo., in 1866. One bank defender was killed and $70,000 stolen. Looting of the Russellville (Ky.) bank in 1868 for $17,000. Looting at Galatin, Mo., in 1868, in which Captain John W. Sheets, was slain. Robbery of a bank at Columbia, Ky., in 1872, in which R. A. C. Martin, cashier, was killed. Raid on a bank at Corydon, in which $40,000 was stolen in 1873. The wrecking and robbing of Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific train and train Buffle, in 1873. The engineer was killed, the dreadnaked and several passengers injured. Box office in the fair grounds at Kansas City, Mo., was robbed of $8,000 in broad daylight in 1873. Detectives surrounded the James home near Kearney, Mo. Jan. 25, 1875, and threw a bomb into the house, thinking to kill the James brothers. It exploded, tearing off the arm of their mother and killing their brother, Archie. "WHEN IS A CHILD?" A PUZZLING QUESTION 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 the car and tendered the conductor the reduced rate tickets. The conductor refused to accept them, and the young men 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." "You 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 exhibits the characteristics of a young person, as of knowledge." Mr. Rine thought it might be possible to consider university boys in this category. But he looked further and found this definition: "who, in a character or practice, shows signs of relationship to or of the influence of another, as a disciple of a teacher, as a child of God, a child of the devil, a child of toil. We come under every one of those definitions argued the twenty-eight year-old six foot "child" at the head of the committee. And City Attorney" Rine had to acknowledge that he was right. "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 plug and bit off a big chew. English Walnut Record Galt, Cali.—On the farm of Alfred C. 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 wide and eight feet deep. In seven months. A large acreage in this vicinity is being planted to this variety of walnut. THE PRESIDENT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN. (From the Chicago Tribune.) 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, 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 bored American citizen 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 interest. 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, French and Latin races may ride where they please. If Booker Washington, on whom Harvard conferred a degree of LL.

Visitors from other nations Library and other organizations 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 hoped will be made for 400 imprisonment for six months for anyone who violates its provisions, and this applies to those in charge of street cars, taxicabs or any vehicle fare is charged. Conductors, porters, and guards are enforced as special police for its enforcement. Premidated. That is a part of this a current determined and clearly defined Southern policy is obvious from a letter written by the governor of 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 the race, with reference to residence, transportation, and occupation, and I believe that measures of that kind have passed at the coming term of Congress." From this it appears that he wishes the public to be aware of the main part of the city, ride only on cars set apart for them, and to deprive many impatiens where they can earn a longer life.

WILLIAM D. BRIGHAM OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION. 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 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 been tried and resulted into a ghostly difference from false and treachery leaders, from false and treachery 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 heeded too easily from false and treachery leaders, and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is the most pleasing piece of legislation, since the lack of defenseless and the mercy of white brutes — separate schools, jimcrow cars, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These reasons are resulting from "nonresistance" and from "by ourselves." That with the same degree of efforty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and to our well being. Race prejudice with this same efforty and legislation will be worn down by attiration. We must children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to the same prejudice.

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 APPLIES TO EVERY ONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Are you honest, honorable and law-abiding? 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 one 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 person what you honestly, honorably, legally pay for. 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. There is no desire or intention to offend any one in this article, but if it is marked with a blue pencil it is to remind you that YOU owe for THE DEEP. Please come or send to the office, 49 E. 4th street, cor. Cedar, suite 236, fifth floor, and pay what you owe. Take elevator. "Beer a Food." 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 ordinary quantities and beer is one of the foods that is free from bacteria. It is appetizing and alds digest. It is also helpful in relieving the pain that is an ingredient 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."
