NO. 20 HAMILTON LEADS AT DARDANELLES In Command of Allied Forces Attacking the Straits. ASSISTED BY GEN. D'AMADE Both British and French Generals Have Made Fine Records In the Small Colonial Wars Waged By Their Countries - Hamilton Was Born Near Scene of Present Operations. London.-General Sir Iain Standish Monette Hamilton, in supreme command of the British-French army now lain at the British peninsula to co-operate with the Scottish fleet for the conquest of the Dardnelles and Constantinople, is a poet-soldier, with the tough, wry frame of the Scotch and the Scotsman's long, narrow head, strong nose and bold chin and with the big ears of the generous Irishman and the Irishman's inwardly smiling. The eyes are shewed and caudal and accompanied by a full Scot, but no less emotional and full of fun—the endowment of a son of Scot. His military career is Lord Roberts' best gift to the nation, for Hamilton is the product of the training and spirit of Field Marshal "Little Bobs". Kitchener has had the good sense to show his appreciation of Lord Roberts' handwork and to give Hamilton the chance to prove his right to a place near the top rung of the ladder. He stands there the embodiment of the best tradition and practice of the British offence from pretension, arrogance and "side" to soldier and charmng gentleman. General D'Amade, the French commander, at the beginning reported to be chief of the land forces at the Dau M. dunleys, can serve under General Iain Hamilton in a frank division of authority which is likely to proceed without friction. General D'Amade is said to have resented upon more than one occasion the tone of superlity and concession assumed toward him by Field Marshal Sir John French during the campaign in France and Flanders. General Hamilton has tact and magnanimity. His intimate association with Lord Kitchener as chief of staff in South Africa began and ended without a row—testimony to Hamilton's ability to get along with the most exacting and despotic of generals, far different from the amable, kindly General Hamilton came under the notice of Roberts in the Boer war of 1880, where he went with the Gordon Highlanders and where, at the British defeat, at Majuta Hill, he discovered that wasn't a British soldier in a hundred who knew how to handle his musket, and not one in a thousand who appreciated the necessity of learning how. Wounded at Majuba Hill and taken to the hospital. Hamilton was given up for dead. He revived when Sir Kevlyn Wood dashed up, covered with mud from a long ride, to tell him that the dispatches home were going to mention his bravery. It was the first of a series of honor records which now have become so numerous that they would fill a book, while his medals and clasps, if he wore them all at the same time, would weigh him down like a coat of mail. From South Africa Hamilton went with Lord Roberts as A. D. C. to India—the "musketter mannein" the young officer was called. But he won over his chief to his own way of thinking, and the revolutionary method in training which Roberts instituted regarding musket and bayonet practice came as the result. The brilliant bayonet charges of the British army would have been impossible in at Majuba Hill. Wounded at Majuba Hill. Evelyn Wood in the Burma expedition in 1884. Hamilton displayed such initiative that was offered a high command in India with a salary of $15,000 a year. The School of Musketry at Hythe invited him at the same time to become its head at a salary of $4,000. He accepted the latter, and the soldiers he trained at Hythe were conspicuous for their efficiency in the last Boer war. Fate of Farmer and Two Daughters Victims of Big Jinx. Benville. Ark—A man named Ewing has been found living in a cave five miles east of here with his two daughters, ten and eight years old. When discovered their clothes were worn to strings, and according to the children, they had subsisted on the bed for ten days. The older ones said, "We haven't seen a piece of bread for more than a month." Five years ago Ewing was a well to do farmer. First his stock began to die. By the end of a year he owned only one cow and no other property. Two years ago his wife, who was the rulping spirit on the farm, died, and six months later she was followed by their only son and the only grown daughter. This left the old man alone with the two small children. But the real climax came about seven months ago, when his house and all it contained were destroyed by fire. He sold the cow and disappeared. The neighbor him was made, for when the neighbors offered to help him in his trouble he became angry and accused: "No, I cannot accept any gifts. No Ewing has yet ever stopped so low as to beg, and may God grant that I am not the first to do so." HIRES PRISONER TO WIFE. Wards of Wisconsin Sheriff Earn $10.376.81 For Their Families. Jamestville, WI.-Letting out his prisoners to work for wages that go to their families instead of making them hammer stones, C. S. Whipple, Rock county sheriff, is demonstrating the possibilities of the Wisconsin commitment law. During the two years the statute has been in force $10,775.85 has been earned by the prisoners in this county. Of this amount dependents of paroled persons received $10,376.81 and the county $1,210.41. One man was paroled for a year to his wife to conduct a clothes pressing establishment. WIPING OUT MALARIA IN PANAMA CANAL ZONE WIPING OUT MALARIA IN PANAMA CANAL ZONE Washington.—The report of the department of health of the Panama canal for the last calendar year shows that the American sanitary officers on the canal zone are meeting with remarkable success in combating malaria. Other other diseases so likely to visit white men in tropical climates, dysentery and typhoid fever are also being coped with successfully. The shows that no deaths occurred among Americans in the canal zone in the year 1914 from malaria, dysentery or typhoid fever. Yellow fever, as is well known, has long since been banished from the canal zone by the scientific efficacy and thoroughness of the methods of the American sanitary officials. The fact is that malaria, not only among the Americans in the canal region, but among the entire population there, has been reduced to a lower point than ever before. In this connection, it appears, apart from the report for the year 1914, that the malarial outbreaks among employees in the canal zone outside of Cristobal and Toro Point are now at the lowest point. The pneumonia death rate increased considerably owing to prevalence of measles among the black employees and the overcrowded conditions in the people live in Panama. The five diseases in Panama the highest number of deaths in their order are malaria, tuberculosis, nephritis, organic diseases of the heart and malaria. In the latter half of 1914 a periodic physical examination was made of all food handlers in the kitchens, mess rooms and commissaries of the Panama canal with the result that one typhoid carrier and a number of cases of contagious diseases were detected and this doubled prevented much disease among them. In Colon and Panama the figures show a high infant mortality, due to ignorance and indifference on the part of mothers. COW KILLED AT BALL GAME Was Standing on Home Plate During Whirlwind Play. Sheboygan, Wis. — During a baseball game in a field on the Walters farm, on the Upper Falls road, a cow killed by Mr. Walters was killed while atlancing the sloppy pitcher. the batter let the club slip when he struck at the ball, the club landing on the head of the cow and instantly killing it. The animal was valued at $75, and the young men of the baseball team made arrangements to pay Mr. Walters for the cow. $500 For One Day's Work. Pierre, S. D.-Fred Hanson, a "wolfer" employed by ranchers along the White river to help clear that section gray wolves, has just collected $500 for one day's work. Hanson called female wolf to her den in the hills and by digging captured the mother and nine whalers. His contract price was $50 for each gray wolf captured. PLEADS FOR DRUG FIEND. Mother Asks Dispensation In Case of Sixty-year-old Victim. Washington.-Pleading for her sixty-year-old "boy," who she says, will die if he is not permitted to obtain the drugs denied him by the Harrison ant-drug bill, an eighty-one-year-old Colorado woman has written a pitiful letter to Dr. B. R. Reese of the internal revenue division of the treasury department. She addressed her letter to President Wilson, but Secretary Tumulty sent it to Dr. Reese, whose office is the clearing house of such correspondence. Much as the appeal of the old Colorado woman moved the officials, no exception will be made in that case. There is no intention on the part of the internal revenue division to issue blanklet permits to obtain drugs for individual cases. PAYS AN OLD DEBT. Tennessee Farmer Sends Check For $3.50 Plow Bought in 1896 $3.50 Prow Bought In 1896. Little Rock, Ark.-In 1896 J. Milton Williams, a Tennessee farmer, bought a plow from H. S. Spee, a hardware store, in Tenn. on credit. Recently Mr. Spee, who long ago left Tennessee and is now living in Little Rock, received a check for $3.50 the price of the plow. The letter accompanying the check read as follows: "Dear Nir.-You remember some years ago I bought of you a turning plow. I have always intended to pay the debt, but it seemed that I had so many things on me that I had to put what little money I could get into other places. I hope you will pardon me for keeping you out of your money for so long. I trust you are well and prosperous." Paris.—When Roland G. Garros, the daring French aviator, was captured by the Germans one of the most picturesque careers of the war came to a halt. The lieutenant had proved himself to be the most brilliant and daring air man in any army. Lieutenant Garros is well known in the United States, having flown in Photo by American Press Association. ROLAND GARROS many competitions in that country. One of his latest exploits was at Dunkirk, when he shot dead in the air the aviator and the observer of a German aeroplane. He went out against this machine alone, and as his machine was the faster he was able to gain an advantageous position, from which he fired with fatal precision. Garros was born of French parents at Cape Town, South Africa, in 1885. He is a graduate of the University of Paris and of its law school and for a time practiced his profession in the French capital. The exploits of Garros have made him a prominent figure in aviation circles throughout the world. He has appeared in meets in Richmond, Chattanooga, Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Waco, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Mexico City, Vera Cruz, Havana and New prizes in two hold a number of speed prizes and in man-made awards held in many European cities. On Dec. 11, 1912, Garros ascended to a height of 19,032 feet and established a world's altitude mark. On his flight from Tunis to Sicily in December, 1912, he traveled for a distance of 160 miles entirely over water. When he flew across the Mediterranean from St. Raphael to Bizerta he traveled 558 miles in 7 hours and 53 minutes. 527 DAYS FOR BOOZING. The Court Also Rubs In A Fine of $200 Must "Stay Sober." Sandusky, O.-James Smith, thirty-five, was brought to the county jail here from Castalia to serve 527 days for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Justice Charles Canfield, before whom he entered a plea of guilty, gave him six months after assessing a fine of $200 and costs. Canfield in passing sentence told Smith he was determined to have him stay sober for a while. Price of Dope Has Advanced Over 1,000 Per Cent in Many Instances, and Friends Find It Almost Impossible to Buy It at Any Price—Prisons Filled With Victims. New York.—Since the strict enforcement of the drastic anti-drug laws in this city has made it almost impossible for dope feends to buy naparctics the results are both sad and interesting. “An appalling situation in which drug maniacs are allowed at large” is Ernest K. Coulter's characterization of the present state of affairs in New York. Mr. Coulter represented Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt in the long fight to suppress drug traffic in this city. He was asked to tell what ought to be done to handle the many cases of drug victims, who deprived of cocaine, heroin and other habit forming drugs, are committing acts of violence and filling the city's prisons and hospitals. “I don't believe the people of the city realize the seriousness of the situation,” said Mr. Coulter. “It must be understood that these men who rob, assault and kill to get morphine or some similar drug are insane. They are the most dangerous kind of lusts when the craving comes over them. The drug means more to them than life, and they will never hesitate to sacrifice lives—others and their own to get the stuff. "The situation which has arisen is perilous in the extreme, but it is not unexpected, and ample warning of what would come about if the city did not prepare for it was given a year ago before the Boylan law became effective on July 1 last. The city was told then that it must prepare to handle hundreds —yes, thousands—of unfortunates. "Commitment of drug habitates to hospitals had been found to be a flat failure, because the hospitals were too overcrowded to keep these cases a sufficient length of time. In addition experience had shown that the hospitals were the proper places for drug cases, because the clinical medical treatment needs to be followed, a prolonged social, physical and mental rehabilitation. The prisons were then overloaded with drug users, and we found that in nearly every case the prison terms were too short for treatment to effect anything like a cure. "Consider this: From 40 per cent to 65 per cent of prisoners are drug users. Leaving out those sentenced for this very thing, from 30 per cent to 50 per cent of persons convicted of other offenses are found to be drug users. They have to be treated for this, but the workhouse sentences, for instance, are so short that no adequate can be done to rid them of the habit." The Boylan law, the Vanderbilt and other anti-drug crusades and to some extent the war have increased drug prices, to 1,000 per cent. A year ago a group of opium cost the "pipes" or smoker from $ to $10. Now it costs from $5 to $15. Sold by the "toy", the smallest and most popular measure, it brought $1 for first class opium or 50 cents for lower grade. Now Lai Yuen, the best opium, costs $6 a "toy". Recently 30 six ounces of this opium sold for $15,000, and the buyer expected to make $3,000 profit. Cocaine, now selling for $22 an ounce, could be obtained a year ago for $3 or less. A "deck" of cocaine, the small package generally used in the illegal drug trade, sells now for $4.50 to $5, and the user gets less than he used to for 25 cents. It is now sold in smaller packages, containing only a few doses, for 50 cents or $1. The drug name is still unaltered. Heroin, or morphine (ethyl), was imported largely from Germany and little manufactured here. It comes in tablets, which are crushed and "sniffed" through the nose. A hundred tablets now sell for $5 to $6. Before the war cost they $1. Heroin powder adulterated with sugar of lead is sold at a corresponding advance. The morphine user pays almost as much as the optum smoker. Morphine is sold for twenty-five grains. Formerly the amount was sold for 25 to 35 cents. MOVED BY PARCEL POST. Old Way Cost Her $20—New Only $4.62 Seattle, Wash.—Mrs. Annie Olson is believed to be the first housewife in the United States to "move" by parcel post. Postoffice clerks were astonished a few days ago when she demanded stamps for conveyance of her household goods from this city to Quinault. "I figured it would be cheaper this way," said Mrs. Olson, handing in a barrel containing her kitchen stove. Other articles of furniture followed, weighing in all 387 pounds and including a kitchen utensils, a rocking chair and dining chairs among other things. The moving cost her $4.62 in stamps. It cost her $20 the old way, she said. JULIA SOON HAD ENOUGH. Got Anthony by Mail, but Postage Came Heavy. Detroit, Mich.—Anthony Merz, fifty-eight, wanted a wife and money, and wanted them in a hurry, so he tried the mail order method in a matrimonial publication. Here is the result: Monday, received an answer from Julia Bekke. Tuesday, she came to Detroit. Wednesday, they were married. Thursday, they quarried. Friday, a warrant charging him with that was obtained by the bride. Saturday, Anthony was tried before Justice Stein. By noon Attorney Alpert said he would have on file a bill for divorce in the circuit court. "He didn't want me," said the mail order bride. "Just wanted my money, I gave him $100 to open a restaurant, but he changed his mind about that and asked for more cash. Then I left him. I'm going to get a divorce." THIS BOY OWNS BALL PARK. Gardner's Father Bought It For Him to Play In. St. Louis.—Prospects are bright for a hudinger of a time this summer for Rodgers Gardner, thirteen-year-old son of Russell E. Gardner, president of a big buggy company. His father has leased a whole ball park for him. Heretofore the corner lot hierarchy reached its apex in the boy who owned a dollar 'n a quarter baseball, a catcher's glove and an infender's mitt. Even then he was always likely to be toppled from his throne by some interloper with a wagon tongue bat and an drop curve. But when a fellow own a whole park his reasonably safe. Russell E. Gardner the other night closed a lease on the vacant corner at Lacede and Euclid avenues and had arranged to have it fenced and laid out in baseball grounds by the time the son returns from a military school for his summer vacation. Washington.—The bureau of education is much interested in the tour of the country in the interest of home education by the National Congress of Mothers' and Parent Teachers' associations. "While child welfare conferences are being held by the state branches of the Congress of Mothers in Alabama, Georgia, Connecticut, Mississippi, Missouri, Maryland, New Hampshire, Utah and Wisconsin." the bureau announced.

This tour is intended to make the benefits of the annual conference felt as widely as possible. "This year's work of the congress is in close connection with the home education division of the bureau of education. Mrs. Frederic Schoff, president of the National Mothers' Congress, is director of the home education division, which, since its organization in September, 1913, has enrolled over 20,000 women from all parts of the country interested and able to co-operate in the study of child nature and child making. "The plan of the home education work, as revealed in the Congress of Mothers and in the home education division, is 'the organization of the parenthood of the world for study of childhood's needs and for the promotion of child welfare.' In the conferences which the congress proposes to hold some of the topics to be discussed are 'Peace,' 'Encouragement in Habits of Thrift and Industry,' 'Spiritual Development of Children' and 'Helping Wayward Children.'

Confederate Veteran Left on Field Mortally Wounded. Fulton, Mo.—Left on the battlefield dying with the surgeon's notation, "mortally wounded." lived after his name, only to live fifty-four years and die a natural death, was the experience of the late John W. Davis, a Conferencer veteran of Fulton. A letter just later came from Joseph A. Mudd, another Conferencer veteran of Hyattsville, Md., tells the story as follows: "I have just seen mention of the death in Fulton of John W. Davis. He was a member of the grand company of brave boys commanded by Captain D. H. McIntyre, afterward attorney general of Missouri—Company A, Burbridge's regiment. Ours was Company A we stood side by side in battle. Comrade Davis just my age. "At Wilson's Creed fifty-four years ago, I saw him shot, so badly hurt that the surgeon wrote 'mortally wounded' after his name." FAMOUS FLAG FOR STATE. Colonel, Proctor's "Rattlesnake" Now in Library. Greensburg, Pa.—The famous Rattlesnake flag has been transferred from the vault of the Merchants and Farmers' bank in Greensburg to the state library, Harrisburg, to take its place among other interesting relics of American wars. The Rattlesnake flag belonged to Colonel John Proctor's Independent battalion of Westmoreland county. It was made in 1775 and was carried in Revolution. Samuel Craig, Sr., who with his three sons, John, Alexander and SamuelJunior, fought in Proctor's battalion, was the color bearer. On Colonel Proctor's death the flag passed to the next senior officer, and so on to the last survivor, General Alexander Craig. It was bequeathed by his great grandmother, Jane Maria Craig of New Alexandria, to the state library at Harrisburg. Rural Route Changes Wil Greatly Extend the Service. Washington.-Mail facilities will be extended to 1,000,000 rural patrons before July 1, 1915, without increasing the present cost of service, according to a statement by Postmaster General Burleson. This, it is explained, will be done by readjusting present rural routes so as to eliminate duplications unnecessary service and by means of the motor vehicle service authorized by congress. Changes were authorized which, without curtailment of service, have reduced operating expenses $177,644. This sum has been utilized to establish 263 new routes serving 31,041 additional families, or approximately 155,205 additional persons. Extensions of existing service were put into effect involving 104 additional miles of travel by rural carriers. These extensions serve 1,202 additional families and approximately 6,010 additional persons. Generation of his plans Mr. Burleson says. "The purpose is to enable the postoffice department to meet just demands for mail service which thus far the department has been unable to provide. This can be done only by careful and painstaking readjustment of existing service. Thorough survey and study of existing conditions therefore have been made. "In some localities it has been found there are unnecessary and unjustifiable duplications and retractions of travel by rural carriers. In other cases it appears that unusual privileges involving unauthorized vehicles have been allowed. It is quite feasible to rectify these inequalities, and this is being done. "Later we expect by utilizing modern motor vehicles on improved highways to extend many existing routes at no additional cost of service. As one of the results from this later step the delivery zone from important postal centers will be doubled. Thus families in the area immediately tributary to these centers will be enabled to take full advantage of the parcel post as a means of transportation of farm products. "Rural service will be extended to every farmer reasonably entitled to it as rapidly as the new adjustments can be made." LENDS AUNT $5; NOW HEIR. Youth Will Get Part of Large Estate Under Her Will. Logansport, Ind.-As a result of lending $ to an anunt in Greeley, Col., A. B. Judson of this city has become heir to a part of a large estate left by the woman, who recently died. Attorneys notified him that he had been named Greeley, he will be now en route to Greeley to claim his part of the estate. Judson did not heard from his aunt for several years until a year ago, when he received a letter from her requesting him to lend her $. He complied with her request and received a letter of thanks. He never heard from her again. Killed 17,071 Rats. Dallas, Tex.-A rat exterminating contest in Texas was won by a man who killed 17,071 rats. $2.40 PER YEAR. MORE GUNS ON EVERY SHIP England's Queen Elizabeth Has Eight Fifteen-inch Guns, While the Pennsylvania Carries Twelve Fourteen-inch Pieces—American Boat Is 70 Per Cent More Effective. Washington—In a recent letter giving a detailed review of what had been done to improve and strengthen the navy in the past two years Secretary Daniels made this statement: The bureau of ordinance has developed a fourteen inch gun that will shoot any gun straighter and hit harder than any gun already known to be designed by a foreign country. There has been much interest in the matter of the effectiveness of the guns of the navy, and Secretary Daniels has given out the following information amplifying his earlier statement: "The question of the proper caller for the main battery guns of our hat- Photo by American Press Association. BATTERY OF BIG GUNS DESIGNED IN AMERICA. tleships is one that has received the most careful consideration on the part of the bureau of ordinance and the general board. "There is an axiom with regard to callers which amounts to this: That a ship should mount the smallest big gun that will pierce the enemy's armor over vitals at the maximum probable fighting range. The fourteen inch guns of the Pennsylvania will get through the smallest gun that will pierce the enemy's armor over vitals at the maximum probable fighting range. The Queen Elizabeth's fourteen inch guns will do little more than that. If our information is correct as to the velocity of the British fifteen inch gun the fourteen inch guns on the Pennsylvania will range a little farther than the Queen Elizabeth's fifteen inch gun. The fatter trajectory of the fourteen inch gun gives it increased probability of hitting in comparison with the fifteen inch gun. The Pennsylvania mounts twelve guns to the Queen Elizabeth's fifteen inch gun. Therefore the volume of fire of our ship exceeds the volume of fire of the British ship by 50 per cent. "The navy department has built and proved a sixteen inch gun superior to both the fifteen inch and fourteen inch so far as penetration of armor at fighting range is concerned. If the Pennsylvania were to be armed with the sixteen inch gun she could carry only eight as against the twelve fourteen inch gun now assigned her. If we adduce the sixteen inch gun we would have to make a sacrifice in number of guns as great or nearly as great as was done in the design of the Queen Elizabeth. "Counting volume of fire and probability of hitting, we see that at battle range the number of blows delivered by the Pennsylvania in a given time will exceed those given by the Queen Elizabeth by 70 per cent. The fifteen inch gun, it is stated, fires a shell weighing 1,920 pounds. Our fourteen inch shell weighs 1,400 pounds. The bursting effect of the larger shell will be less than that of the destroyer, but we have little doubt that the destroyer will burst the burst of the fourteen inch shell will be quite sufficient for its task. No one can doubt the advisability of delivering seventeen hits to ten of the enemy. Added to all of the above, we must recollect that the chance of having gunfire restive rests with the ship carrying the greater number. "Now, if we compare these guns at range greater than battle range or armor piercing range and merely count the ability to reach the enemy's decks or unarmored parts we find that the Pennsylvania's guns range quite as far at a maximum as those of the Queen. Both guns range farther than they would in a ship, and carrying a ship—that is to say, over 21,000 yards, or something like twelve land miles." ee : at See Se Ee Ca ae ef ar RR a ee af eee eg ae ae lL | se ee ore SST EH aero EEN ee Pee 7 c's il % ao ea Svelouiters D Tue Aprenli Ay en 2 i ss eee Tae is Bary ves \ Fr Ne AS Zia.

Mott, general secre- tary for foreign work of the Y. M. C. A, is fearful that “Christian unity” whatever that 1s, will be periled by the present war. In a recent address at Los Angeles, he said: “Christian unity will be maimed hopelessly by this great war.

America is concerned, A book by A. Wyatt Verrill on “South and Central Américan Trade Conditions of Today,” recently issued by Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, has this to say under the heading, “Why Americans Fail:” “Race or religious prejudice, con. descension, discourtesy or bluff have no place in Spanish America.

On the other hand treat the Latin- American with courtesy, praise the buildings and industry of his town, ‘admire his beautiful women, visit his places of interest, and speak his lan- guage and you may command respect, admiration and true friendship and every entertainment and comfort will be yours.” THE APPEAL has printed a number of editorials along this line showing that Americans have lost millions of dollars through thelr jimerow methods and it is a great satisfaction to have this view upheld by a great authority thoroughly familiar with conditions, Race prejudice is an expensive proposition for those who indulge in it. PASTOR ABBOTT'S SLUSH. Old man Lyman (well named) Ab dott, one of the worst enemies the colored people have ever had and whose record as a giver out of mis leading information about racial con ditions is At, is out west again hand ing out some more slush. Recently he stood in a pulpit in Ulinois and sald: “The South has ir revocably decreed against the mixture of the white and black races.” The statement is Abbottesque and like many of the half truths he is wont to utter. If. Dr. Abbott had stated that the South has decreed that there should be no lawful mixing of the races he would have been nearer the truth. The South, that ts the white Bouth t not opposed to racial admixture, but being at heart thoroughly immoral it insists that the mixing be done in an illegal manner. ‘The mixing which has already been accomplished was starced by the white South. It began in the days of slay. ery, when the white master forced the black slave women to bear children, who followed the condition of thelr mothers and became slaves. A few masters manumitted their halt breed children, but they were the excep tions to the general rule, Many mas own offspring for sale and in time the ters made a practice of breeding thei | raising of children for the slave mar kets became a recognized Southern industry. \ Since the abolition of slavery, the white South, claiming Chris} as its guiding star, has enacted laws making Christian marriage a felony, thus di rectly aiding immorality, The white South has in every way endeavored to humiliate and degrade its colored people the majority of whom have more or less Caucasian blood. Search history through; read the atrocities of the barbarian invasians of the early days, read the barbar ities of the Middle Ages; read of the Inquisition; read the story of the French Revolution; read of Russia’ persecution of the Jews; read of civ equal in blackness what outherr white people have meted out to thel own sons and daughters to their ows ilized (2) Burope's rape of Africa: read the horrors of the Christians war now devastating Hurope. Add al of these together and they will not brothers and sisters, who are of a slightly darker hue, It is the Dlackest page in the annals of the world, —— AN INFAMOUS THING. At 1s an infamous thing for the gov- ernment of this great republic to draw the color line in any way. In a re public every citizen should have ex- actly the same status so far as the government 1s concerned. It is wrong, unjust and un-American for the government to segregate its clerks by color in the Departments in Washington, and it is also Wrong, un Just and un-American for the govern ment to issue a separate and inaccu rate Census Bulletin as it has done ir the case of the bulletin, “Negroes ir the United States.” : One instance of the inaccuracy is the statement that it is the work of “Negro clerks.” The editor of THE APPEAL has known two of the clerk: mentioned for many years and is wel aware of the excellent records thes had made before the census segrega tion scheme was’ evolved. These tw gentlemen are mixed bloods, one be ing @ blonde, at least three-fourth: white.’ He should not be called « “Negro” because he is not a “Negro, but @ colored.man. Call him a colored man if it is ab solutely necessary to call attention tc the fact, but it would be better for the country and for all the people it he ‘and all other people were callec Americans. That's the correct name for all persons born in the United States. CENSUS SEGREGATION. | “Negroes in the United States,” is the title of a pamphlet just issued by the United States Census Bureau. The title is misleading, for there are only 473 real Africans in the United States, according to the Census, that is Ne groes born in Africa. The United States assumes that a group of about 10,000,000 people are Negroes and; proceeds to so classify them. More than ninety-nine per cent of the persons so classified were born in America of American. parents, and ‘their parents were Americans and so on back for ten generations. It a man whose ancestors for many generations is not an American, who is entitled to.the name? It a white man can become an American in two generations, why should a person of any other color born in this country fail to “arrive” in the same space of time? ‘The name “Negro” applied to a group of citizens in this country is in- accurate, because it does not include forty or fifty’million other Americans who have more or less Negro blood. The expression “pure race” is amyth so all great writers on ractal questions agree. bs The mixing of bloods in this country has gone so far that it is Impossible 80 does the writer. + determine’ with any degree of accu: racy who has Negro blood and who has not, and for the Government to select about 10,000,000 people and say that they are “Negroes,” and by that act to aid in making them a separate treatment in church and state, is to perpetrate a great wrong. ‘There is no reason why a Democra- ey should attempt to classify its cit- izens by their blood. All persons born in this country should be con- sidered Americans without any pre- fixes or suffixes. If the Government contention that every person with a drop of Negro blood is a Negro, then the Census figures are false. Instead of about 10,000,000, there are really nearer 90, 000,000 or in other words, the majority of Americans are Negroes, and AMER- ICA IS NOW A NEGRO NATION, A writer in “Liberty,” published quarterly in Washington, D. C,, under the caption, “The Inalianable Rights of Man,” presents some incontrovert- able facts, viz: “Governments were ordained to protect the natural rights of men and not to deprive any man of his rights. * * * *An upright, honest citizen should enjoy. equal rights with every other citizen, irre- ‘spective of numbers, creed, or color, ‘before the law of the land, Equality of rights is the first of rights, and in the sight of the law there should be no respecter of persons, whether he be king or pope, nobleman or peasant, rich or poor, Christian, Jew, or infidel, red white or black. The right of choice is divine, and every man should be protected in its free exercise so long as the exercise of his choice does not interfere with the equal rights of his neighbor.” If all the people thought as does the writer of the ar. ticle and lived up to his ideals then this might to be justly called the “Land of the Free.” A remarkable event took place in the Illinois Senate recently. ‘The Dill probibiting the intermarriage of white and colored people, introduced by Sen: ator Coleman a Southern Mlinois statesman had been referred to the ‘committes of the whole and was about to. be discussed, Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of the Institutional Church, Chi cago, was in Springfeld on business and Senator Dailey of Peoria, ar ranged to have him address the Sen ate on the bill, which he did with 80 much logic and eloquence that when the roll was called: it was found that not a single vote had been registered in ite favor. After Rev. Carey's ad. dress no one had the temerity to de fond the bill and before the vote was taken the author of the infamous leg- {slative proporition slipped out of the Senate Chamber looxing like a whip- ped dog. - BSarig + THE NEW ABOLITION. a direct result of the Springfield riots of 1908, After several conferences it was organized and permanent head- quarters opened in November 1910. ‘The growth of the organization has been phenomenal. Today it has fifty branches throughout the country and 7,000 members and the crisis, edited by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has reached a circulation of over 35,000 The platform of the association is broad but uncompromising. The off- cial statement containé among other thinks the following strong statement and demands: “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 cltizens, justice in all courts and equal ity of opportunity everywhere. It fa- vors and aims to ald every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or preroge- tive, class or caste, It recognizes the national character of the. race problem and no sectionalism. It be. Heves in the upholding of the constitu. tion 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 erlme, but still more the conditions which breed crime and, most of all, the crimes committed by mobs in the mockery of the law or by individuals in the name of the law. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to ald the white man to eace and social content. It has no other desire than exact Justice and no other motive than humanity.” The proposed program for the ad- vance of the colored people has been laid down by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois: “We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with & halt loaf or by being willing to lull our friends into a false sense of our in- difference and present satisfaction, The American Negro demands equalt-| ty—political equality—and he is never soing to rést satisfied with anything less. He demands this in no spirit of braggadocio and with no obsequious envy of others, but as an absolute measure of self defense and the only one that will assure to the darker races thelr ultimate survival on earth, “The colored people must have in. dustrial freedom. Between the peon- age of the rural south, the oppression of shrewd capitalists and the jealousy of certain trade unions the colored la- borer is the most expléited class in the country, giving more hard toil for less money ‘than any other American and with less voice in the conditions of his labor. “In social intercourse every effort is being made today from the president of the United States and the so called Church of Christ down to saloons and bootblacks to segregate, strangle and spiritually starve the colored man 80 as to give him the least possible chance to know and share civilization. “The colored man must have power’ —the power of men, the right to do, to know, to feel and to express that knowiedge, action and spiritual gift. He must not simply be free from the political tyranny of white folk; he must have the right to vote and to rule over all the citizens to the extent of his proved foresight and ability. He must have a voice in the new in: dustrial democracy which is building and the power to see to it that his children are not in the next generation trained to be the mud sills of society. He must have the right to social in- tercourse with his fellows. “There was a time in the atomic in- dividualistic group when “social inter. course” meant merely calls and tea parties; today social intercourse means theaters, lectures, organiza-| tlons, clubs, churches, excursions, tra vel, hotels—it means, in short,’ lite, To bar a group trom methods of think: ing, living and doing, is to bar them from the world and bid them create a new world—it is to crucify them and taunt them with not being able to live.” Dr. DuBois suggest five practical steps for action—first, economic co-op- eration; second, a revival of art and Uterature; third, political action: fourth, education; fittiy organization. “For the accomplishment of all those ends we must organize. Organization among us already has gone far, but it: just go much further and higher. Or- ganization is sacrifice. It is sacrifice of opinions, of time, of work and of money, but it fs, after all, the cheapest Way of buying ‘the most priceless of sifts—freedom and efficiency. I thank God that most of the money that sup. Ports this association comes from colored hands. A still larger propor- tion must come, and we must not ouly support, but control, this and similar organizations and hold them unwaver- ingly to our objects, our aims and our ideals. “With such organizations and with all the progress that they can point to let us never be satisfied with mere Progress so long as we fall so far short of a reasonable accomplishment of our desires. Remember that we are despised today by millions of peo- ple not because we suffer, but because We suffer like dumb, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces.

PAUL REFUSES TO BE INSULTED! gine Bhai, Mee ee es Young Man. Shows Manhood and Independehce When a Y. M,C. ‘A. Gonference Draws a Color-Line, (Cleveland Gazette.) Louisville, Ky.—Despite the fact that he had been invited and urged to attend a Y. M. C. A. conference of employed men of that organization, Mr. Theodore Pettyjohn, physical di- rector of the Colored ‘branch, was asked into the kitchen when the call for dinner was sounded. Following his guide from the main dining room, prepared for the other conferees, back to the kitchen, Mr. Pettyjohn politely informed the iady that he would not eat, He turned his back on the vic- tuala prepared for him and walked out. He then looked up the gentleman who had insisted on his being at the con- ference and told him a few things. The gentleman tried to defend him- self by telling Mr. Pettyjohn that he ought to want to eat with his own people and that Booker T. Washing- ton ate in Kitchens. Mr. ‘Pettyjohn, seeing that the “Christian” could not understand the principle of the mat- ter, left the conference and walked five miles on an empty stomach— when he reached the city limits he boarded a car. At this conference all Present sat in the same room, read the same Bible, declared Christ and his teachings were the salvation of all men, and yet when the dinner bell rang, Christ and his teachings were forgotten. Mr. Pettyjohn was the only colored delegate and fearing some un- pleasantness—although it was a “Christian” conference—only attended after two insistent invitations.

In a re public every cltizen should have ex- actly the same status so far as the government is concerned. It fs wrong, unjust and un-American for the government to segregate its clerks by color in the Departments in Washington, and it is also wrong, un just and un-American for the govern. ment to issue a separate and inaccu: rate Census Bulletin as it has done in the case of the bulletin, “Negroes in the United States.” : One Instance of the inaccuracy i the statement that it is the work o “Negro clerks.” The editor of THE APPEAL has known two of the clerk: mentioned for many years and is well aware of the excellent records they had made before the census segrega tion schemé was'evolved.

A writer in “Liberty,” published quarterly in Washington, D. C., under the caption, “The Inalianable Rights of Man,” presents some incontrovert able facts, viz: “Governments were ordained to protect the natural rights of men and not to deprive any man of his rights. + * * *An upright honest citizen should enjoy. equal rights with every other citizen, irre spective of numbers, creed, or color, before the law of the land. Equality of rights is the first of rights, and in the sight of the law there should be ho respecter of persons, whether he be king or pope, nobleman or peasant, rich or poor, Christian, Jew, or infidel, red white or black. The right of choice is divine, and every man should be protected in its free exercise sc long as the exercise of his choice does not interfere with the equal rights of his neighbor.” If all the people thought as does the writer of the ar ticle and lived up to his ideals then this might to be justly called the “Land of the Free.” A remarkable event took place in the Illinois Senate recently. The Dill prohibiting the intermarriage of white and colored people, introduced by Sen: ator Coleman a Southern Illinols statesman had been referred to the committee of the whole and was about to. be discussed. Rev. A. J. Carey, pastor of the Institutional Church, Chi cago, was in Springfleld on business and Senator Dailey of Peoria, ar ranged to have him address the Sen. ate on the bill, which he did with so much logic and eloquence that when the roll was called it was found that not a single vote had been registered in its favor. After Rev. Carey's ad- dress no one had the temerity to de- fend the bill and before the vote was taken the author of the infamous leg- islative proposition slipped out of the Senate Chamber looxing like a whip- ped dog. - a <. ‘THE NEW ABOLITION. a direct result of the Springfield riots of 1908, After several conferences it Was organized and permanent head- quarters opened in November 1910. ‘The growth of the organization has been phenomenal. Today it has fifty branches throughout the country and 7,000 members and the crisis, edited by Dr. W. E, B. DuBois has reached a circulation of over 35,000 The platform of the association is broad but uncompromising. The off clal statement containé among other thinks the following strong statement and demands: “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 equal- ity of opportunity everywhere. It ta- vors and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or preroge- tive, class or caste. It recognizes ‘the national character of the race problem and no sectionalism. It be eves in the upholding of the conatitu- tion 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 mockery of the law or by individuals in the name of the law. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to ald the white man to Peace and social content. It has no other desire than exact justice and no other motive than humanity.” The proposed program for the ad- Vance of the colored people has been laid down by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois: “We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with a half loaf or by being willing to lull our friends into a false sense of our in- difference and present satisfaction, The American Negro demands equall- ty—political equality—and he is never soing to rést satisfied with anything less. He demands this in no spirit of braggadocio and with no obsequious envy of others, but as an absolute measure of self defense and the only one that will assure to the darker races their ultimate survival on earth, “The colored people must have in- dustrial freedom. Between the peon- age of the rural south, the oppression of shrewd capitalists and the jealousy of certain trade unions the colored la- borer is the most exploited class in the country, giving more hard toil for less money’ than any other American and with less voice in the conditions of his labor. “In gocial intercourse every effort is being made today from the president of the United States and the so called Church of Christ down to saloons and bootblacks to segregate, strangle and spiritually starve the colored man 80 us to give him the least possible chance to know and share civilization. “The colored man must have power the power of men, the right to do, to know, to feel and to express that knowledge, action and spiritual gitt. He must not simply be free from the Political tyranny of white folk; he must have the right to vote and to rule over all the citizens to the extent of his proved foresight and ability. He must have a voice in the new in: dustrial democracy which is building and the power to see to it that his children are not in the next generation trained to be the mud sills of society. He must have the right to social in. tercourse with his fellows. “There was a time in the atomic in- dividualistie group when “social inter. course” meant merely calls and tea Parties; today social intercourse Means ‘theaters, lectures, organiza. tions, clubs, churches, excursions, tra Yel, hotels—it means, in short,’ lite, To bar a group from methods of think: ing, living and doing, is to bar them from the world and bid them create a new world—it is to crucify them and taunt them with not being able to live.” Dr. DuBois suggest five practical steps for action—first, economic co-op- eration; second, a revival of art and Uterature; third, political action; fourth, education; fifth; organization. “For the accomplishment of all those ends we must organize. Organization among us already has gone far, but it must go much further and higher. Or ganization is sacrifice. It is sacrifice of opinions, of time, of work and of money, but it fs, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of gifts—freedom and efficiency, 1 thank God that most of the money that sup. Ports this association comes from colored hands. A still larger propor- tion must come, and we must not only support, but control, this and similar organizations and hold them unwaver. ingly to our objects, our aims and our ideals. “With such organizations and with all the progress that they can point to let us never be satisfied with mere Progress so long as we tall so far short of a reasonable accomplishraem of our desires. Remember that we are despised today by millions of peo: ple not because we suffer, but because We suffer like duyab, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces.

Louisville, Ky.—Despite the fact that,he had been invited and urged to attend a ¥. M. C..A. conference of employed men of that organization, Mr. Theodore Pettyjohn, physical a Tector of the Colored ‘branch, was asked into the Kitchen when the call for dinner was sounded. . Following his guide from the main dining room, prepared for the other conferees, back to the kitchen, Mr. Pettyjohn politely informed the lady ‘that he would not eat, He turned his back on the vic tuais prepared for him and walked out. He then looked up the gentleman who had insisted on his being at the con- ference and told him a few things. The gentleman tried to defend him: self by telling Mr, Pettyjohn that he ought to want to eat with his own people and that Booker T. Washing. ton ate in Kitchens. Mr, ‘Pettyjohn, seeing that the “Christian” could not understand the principle of the mat: ter, left the conference and walked five miles on an empty stomach— when he reached the city limits he boarded a car. At this conference all Present sat in the same room, read the same Bible, declared Christ and his teachings were the salvation of all men, and yet when the dinner bel Tang, Christ and his teachings were forgotten, Mr. Pettyjohn was the only colored delegate and fearing some un pleasantness—although it was “Christian” conference—only attended after two insistent invitaticas, PULLER AND TROTTER ACQUIT- TED ON “BIRTH OF A NATION.” (Special.)

Judge Brackett denounced in severe terms the color discrimination in sell- ing to white people when they stopped selling tickets at the approach of a number of colored people in the lobby. He sald this was contrary to the equal rights law of Massachusetts and was entirely wrong. He praised the col- ored people as good citizens, said they were entitled to justice and equality. He criticized Mr. Trotter for not leading the people away even though their rights were being denied, He praised the conduct of the large color- ed audiences present at the trials. Editor Trotter was found guilty of assault upon an officer, fined and ap- Pealed the case, as he is innocent. Rev. Puller and Mr, Trotter were showered with congratulations. E. P. Benjamin and C. G.

Johnson and this is a guarantee that all things will be au fait. (From The Christian Register.) Race bitterness makes argument, or discussion, or any effort to come to a common understanding quite useless. Where much racefencing is engaged, reason is neutralized. With some people, questions of the rights of colored people under the Constitution, of the state of California have become impossible. They cannot not discuss the subject. While this is the case in this country, we have never do in cleansing our own blood of germs of conflict without thinking it our main business to reach across the water in restraint of war. War is incipient among us in these matters, and cruel barbarities frequent enough, to keep us busy reforming ourselves. Billy Sunday speaks out emphatically, acrobatically and ungrammatically against almost every wrong in the country—except race prejudice. If he wants to show that he is a real brave man, not afraid to tacke anything, and do some good where it is most needed, let him speak out against race prejudice.

"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 deprived from brain water, hops and beer. Beer is food. American beer contains 6 per cent solid food, to 4 per cent alcohol and also ecithin, 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 east converts both into palatable and alcoholic foods. Both contain alcohol. Beer is not in essential ordinary quantities and beer is one of the foods that is free from bacteria. 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. It is a food in household they will deprive a large part of the population of a wholesome article of food." STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC.
