NO. 22 HOUSTON AIDING FARMERS' WIVES WOMEN TAUGHT EFFICIENCY Value of Home Conveniences Demonstrated by Agents of Department of Agriculture—Data Show Amount Spent and Outline the Visible Results—Work is Just Started. Washington—Secretary of Agriculture Houston is going to try to solve the problem of unrest among country women by improving their condition. "The chief objections of women to country life," according to a statement issued by the department, "are usually the generally small returns from farming, the drudgery of farm work and the social isolation. "Data taken from the records of the department and relating exclusively to work of this kind in the thirty-three northern and western states show the following distribution of funds: For meetings and movable schools, at which demonstrations are given in cooking, sewing, household conveniences and for the organization of women's clubs to study home economics, $81,555; for canning clubs to teach girls and women how to prevent many of the wastes of the farm by canning and preserving fruits, vegetables and meats by cheap and rapid commercial processes, $56,197; for county agents who help farmers and their wives to Photo by American Press Association. SECRETARY HOUSTON. increase the net income of the farm and thus make possible the introduction of labor saving conveniences and other improvements $1,027,312. "Extension work designed to be fundamentally helpful to farm women seems to include within its scope certain matters, as follows: "First—Plans to increase the net income of the farm. Farm women need more money for home purposes. The purchase of home conveniences, the installation of water, sewerage, lighting and heating systems, kitchen and other conveniences and the bringing of literature and music into the home are, in the majority of country homes, dependent upon greater net profits in farming. Knowledge of these conveniences and other desirable things is good, but money to buy these desirable things is a vital necessity if country life is to be made as acceptable to women as town life. "Second—Plans to teach and demonstrate efficiency in farm home management. These include such matters as wholesome food properly prepared and served in adequate supply and variety throughout the year, the care of the home and the family linen and wardrobe, the care and management of children and sometimes the handling of certain farm enterprises like poultry and eggs, milk and butter, the garden, small fruits, etc. Efficiency in farm home management contemplates the maximum of accomplishment with the minimum of effort to the end that the farm family may find satisfaction and contentment in the home and that the time of the farm woman may be conserved. "Third—Plant for leisure and development. The farm woman needs time for reading, self development, child teaching, social life and recreation. "In the development of home economics demonstration work there needs to be kept in mind the point of view that the problems of country women must chiefly be solved by country women. The county agent movement in some sections of the north and west started out primarily as a city man's movement, but it has succeeded in exact proportion as the farmers of the county have taken hold of the work and made it their own." Monument Set Up For Ape. Summit, N. J.—The grave of a pet monkey which was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Humphreys of New York and was buried here a short time ago on the estate of Mr. Humphreys' mother, Mrs. T. St. John Gaffney, is now marked with a handsome headstone. FINDS WIFE BY TAPE. Worcester (Mass.) Scientist Declares Unhappy Marriages Need Not Exist. Boston—Incompatibility in marriage is soon to be a thing of the past, according to Dr. Max Baff, the Worcester scientist and former fellow in psychology at Clark university, who announces that he has discovered how to measure temperament. With nothing more than a tape measure, he says, it is possible to find one's affinity and be positively sure that one is marrying the right man or woman. Dr. Baff has had under observation Massachusetts' best known bachelor, Governor David I. Walsh. He recently announced the kind of a wife the governor should find in order to be assured of perfect happiness. Here are the specifications, the result of scientific observance: She must be from five feet three inches to five feet six inches tall. She must weigh from 141 to 146 pounds. She must be tactful. She must be cheerful at all times, especially before breakfast. It is essential that she have a mezzosoprano voice. FAVORS STUDENT CAMPS. Secretary Garrison Will Ask Congress For Appropriations. Washington—Secretary of War Garrison has not abandoned plans for the establishment of camps for the military instruction of college and university students. Comptroller of the Treasury Downey has ruled that there was no warrant for the expenditure of government funds for regular officers and troops at such camps. A reconsideration has been asked by Secretary Garrison, and if this is unfavorable the secretary will urge legislation by congress authorizing appropriations. GERMANS CONTINUE TO BUY AMERICAN HORSES GERMANS CONTINUE TO BUY AMERICAN HORSES How They Send Them Home Is a Deep Mystery to Dealers. Lincoln, Neb.—Representatives of all of the principal nations at war in Europe are combing the west for horses for the armies. Several of the horse buyers bear titles; the majority of them are men who have been at the head of great establishments in Belgium and France, which formerly supplied America with draft horse stallions. One who was recently in Lincoln was paid $2 a day and expenses for his work. Before the war he drew $10,000 a year as manager of a great breeding stable in Normandy. How the few German buyers get their purchases through is a mystery, and they refuse to elucidate. They make it plain that that is their own business, and they keep on buying. Some of the largest dealers in this section have been asked to bld on a 25,000 head shipment for the German government payable for drafts on New York. In the beginning speculators and business men jumped into the game, taking large contracts or subcontracts. The ruling prices for the grades desired were $150 and $175, subject to inspection, which was very rigid, and a large portion of each shipment was rejected. Rather than carry these back to the west the dealers sold them at the points of shipment for what they could get. That there are horse traders in Europe and dealers with sharp eyeeth was proved by the fact that a number of these rejected animals were shipped to Europe, the purchasers being government agents, who took this means of showing American dealers some tricks in horse buying, purchasing in the guise of contractors who desired the animals for the northwest. The fact that the greater part of the supply in the west has already been purchased or is in the hands of speculators, holding for the raise they feel certain will come with a continuance of the war, has led to a letting down of the inspection bars. Hundreds of animals that formerly would have not received a second look are now going through. The stable boys say that the fat ones are given the preference. White and gray horses are taboo because they are shining marks on the battlefield. The one thing the buyers are particular about is the wind. They require swift galloping for a block or two before the inspector decides. HIS NAME NOT NEWLYWED. However, He wouldn't Fire at Burglar Lest Baby Be Waked. Scottdale, Pa.-Rather than waken the baby by firing his revolver, Frank Welss, a tailor, sat on a stairway in his home and watched a burglar ransack the dining room. The intruder's movements were plainly visible through a transom. When the burglar found a pocket- book in a drawer and transferred its contents to his pockets Welss' grip on the revolver tightened, but his wife tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him not to shoot. Mrs. Welss, after four hours' ordeal with a fretful baby, had succeeded in getting it to sleep when the burglar came. BUILT TOWN FOR WHEAT. Kansan Wanted a Market and Breton Became It. Colby, Kan.—Because he raised 150, 000 bushels of wheat in 1914 and needed a place to market it without a long haul Ben Foster, a large landowner, built a town of his own. He erected an elevator, lumber yard, coal yard and store; also residences for his employees. He named the town Breton, and now it is getting away from his first idea. Other people are moving there, and Foster is in a good way to become the proprietor of a thriving country town. He refuses to sell the lots, but rents them on long leases. WATCHING THE SITUATION.

Both Senator Stone and Congressman Flood have been in Washington a great part of the time since President Wilson addressed his drastic note to Germany and are in close touch with all developments. HONEYMOONERS WALK ACROSS THE COUNTRY Took Pair Two Years to Make the Long Trips. Harrisburg, Pa.—Journeys across the continent twice on foot within a period of two years marked the unique honeymoon trip taken by Mr. and Mrs. John Broxman, who live near here. In the twenty-four months that they have been away the young married couple have traversed the parched sands of the semitropical countries of the south, the fertile valleys of the middle west and the rugged mountain paths of the far western states. They are happy and have returned to their home without reporting a mishap. In making their long journey on foot Mr. and Mrs. Broxman have won both fame and fortune, for not only were they cordially welcomed in all the towns and cities through which they passed, but as the result of their long hike they have been presented with a large sum of money by a brother-in-law of Mrs. Broxman in California, and henceforth they will make their home on a farm which has been purchased by the bridegroom near Harrisburg. Mr. and Mrs. Broxman were married two years ago and had planned to spend their honeymoon quietly in the east. But Mrs. Broxman's brother-in-law in Santa Anna, Cal., told them that he would present them with a substantial sum of money if they would take as their honeymoon trip a "stroll" from Harrisburg to California and back again. They decided to try to win the prize held out to them, so immediately after the wedding ceremony was performed they started on their long hike. Pet Collie a Hero Wallace, Ida.—Were dogs entitled to receive medals a six-month-old Scotch collie owned by Horace Langdon would be entitled to recommendation for such honor. The cabin occupied by Langdon and Charles Bare was destroyed by fire. Langdon was roused by the dog frantically clawing and scratching his neck and shoulders. He hastily broke a window and, grasping the dog, jumped outside and awakened Bare, who slept in an adjoining room. SITUATION IS COMPLICATED Forty-eight German Ships In American Waters Would Have to Flee or Be Seized—This Country Would Probably Give Them a Chance to Get Away and Land Where They Could. Washington.—The precise legal status of many hundreds of millions, perhaps of billions, of property in this country and others would be brought into question if the United States were to become involved in the war in Europe. Vast properties in the United States of European ownership would be liable to confiscation. Great properties, though much less in aggregate value, owned by Americans in Europe would be in the same position. American corporations would not be permitted, it is assumed, to pay dividends on securities held by citizens of the countries with which the United States was at war. The German ships now interned in this country would be under the necessity of leaving American waters at the risk of being captured on the high seas or else being confiscated in the ports where they are now held. In all the history of warfare there has probably never been so complicated a financial situation in international relationship as that which would ensue between the United States and Germany if the two countries by any chance should engage in hostilities. Germans have long been large investors in the United States, particularly in securities of railroad and industrial corporations. It is now pretty well known that these investments were to a considerable degree liquidated in the last year before the war began. During that period Germany was systematically turning its investments into forms most available for quick use, and the conversion was made so skillfully and quietly that the world of business did not fully realize what was afoot until the war had actually broken out. Consequently it is impossible at all accurately to appraise German holdings in this country today. It is believed, however, that they are largest in railroad securities, then in industrials and finally in real estate and miscellaneous forms of property. On the other hand, American property interests in Germany are larger than is generally understood, because in recent years a number of American industrials have been forced to establish plants in Germany. It was estimated that $2,000,000,000 worth of various alien owned investments in both countries would be involved if the two countries should go to war. What would be their standing? This question is decidedly important to people on both sides who have such holdings. But it is easier answered than the next one. With the two countries at war unnaturalized Germans in this country would become, before the law, "alien enemies." No matter how loyal to this country or how determined that their conduct toward and in their adopted country should be exemplary, that would be their legal position. This class of people own great aggregates of property in this country, and to involve them in any general conflagration measures would be so farreaching in their effects that it is recognized as quite impossible that any such would be undertaken. The declaration of war between two countries has the effect, under long established international practice, of suspending, but not wiping out, debts of a state or its citizens to the citizens of another state. The reasons are manifest. In the first place, to pay debts to a foreign state during war would be to furnish the sinews of war to the enemy. In the second place, if the debtor declined to pay, there would be no chance to enforce collection, because the debtor, an enemy alien, would have no access to the country's courts to enforce payment. The forty-eight German vessels interned in this country, appraised as worth nearly $200,000,000, are in a peculiar status. Interned here because the United States is a mutual friend, they would suddenly be found to be in the complete power of a new enemy. It is explained that the peculiar obligation which the United States has assumed toward them raises questions not before broached—whether it would be violating a very special and unusual faith to appropriate the ships now if this country and Germany were at war. The procedure which the authorities believe correct would be to notify the vessels that they must leave American territorial waters and to give them a fair chance to do so. After that they would be liable to seize by American war vessels or by the vessels of America's allies. Or, if the Germans preferred, they could decline to leave, the United States government could take possession of and formally confiscate the vessels and let the whole business be settled after the war's end. Defective Page Landlady Kept it and Had to Pay $102. Anthony, Kan.—The famous Harper county umbrella, which has been in litigation for several months, became the undisputed property of Mrs. Mary Schoeneman of Harper a few days ago when a jury in the district court assessed her $2 for the property rights attached thereto, together with the costs in the case, which have mounted to $100. Mrs. Schoeneman is the landlady at a rooming house in Harper. Mrs. Lille Smith, with her daughter and two grandchildren, contracted for a room with the Schoenemans. Mrs. Smith says the contract price for the bed for four was 50 cents. Mrs. Schoeneman says it was 75 cents. Mrs. Smith would pay only 50 cents when she left, and it was accepted. She forgot her umbrella. Mrs. Schoeneman held it for the twenty-five cent balance. Mrs. Smith sued. The justice court gave her a verdict for $3.50 and $7 attorney fees. Mrs. Schoeneman appealed to a jury, and it found again for Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Schoeneman paid the costs and quit. 2,065,000 MEN IN THE ITALIAN ARMY Statistics Show That Naval Fighting Force Is Also Strong.

Seneca, Kan.—A community tabernacle was built here in one day. At 8 o'clock the business and professional men of the town gathered with hammers, saws, planes and nails and went to work. By 6 o'clock the immense building was completed. The tabernacle has a seating capacity of 1,000 people and will be used during the summer for the Sunday night meetings and for a community center for social affairs. The band boys co-operated in its erection and will use it for their weekly concerts. The ladies of the city prepared and served dinner at noon to several hundred people. The Rev. Charles A. Richard is the community pastor and one of the prime spirits in the erection of this tabernacle.

Girl, Given Away Because of Poverty, Now Knows Parents. Lacrosse, Wls.-Hazel "West," fifteen-year-old girl, who was taken away from Fred West, her foster father, by Judge Brindley because he had neglected her, has found her mother in a woman she has known all her life as a dear friend. Mrs. Fred Green, the mother, appeared before Judge Brindley and told the remarkable story of how she had given Hazel to the Wests when she was a baby because of her inability to care for the baby. A mysterious telephone call to the Home of the Friendless, where Judge Brindley placed Hazel, effected the reunion of mother and daughter. The message said that if Hazel would come to one of the downtown stores she would be given a heavy coat. Hazel went downtown alone and did not come back. Investigation revealed her at the home of Mrs. Green, who had met her in the store and told her the story of her parentage. In explaining the case to the judge Mrs. Green said: "I was the mother of another child when Hazel was born, and we were too poor to care for both of them, and at Mrs. West's urgent plan I let them take her. "Not a week has passed since that I have not seen her. The Wests were better able to care for her than I, and I have been happy in the thought that she was being brought up in the right way. But since Mrs. West's death I have been worried, and now that she has been taken away from West I intend to keep her." Mrs. Green is the wife of a railroad engineer. Hazel's father is dead. SAYS WOMEN DRINK MORE. Flight Against Liquor Stronger Except With Them, Says Bennet. Philadelphia.—In an address at the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the National Temperature union ex- Congressman William S. Bennet of New York, after describing the progress made by the fees of drink, said: Mr. Bennet said that in 1870 virtually every state was under the influence of the liquor interests, but that now only two, one eastern and one western, are so influenced. "Drinking has decreased in New York. Now the men who refrain from drinking at a banquet are in the majority. Few men drink during their business hours." BRITISH WOMAN WINS HIGH MILITARY HONOR Freed From Jail, She Builds Hospital For Wounded. London. Though Britain flung her into durance vile before the war, it is ooing its cap to Miss Louis Garrett Anderson, who now holds authority equal to that of a major in the British army. Her work has to do with great things for the wounded. She had been jailed for a suffrage demonstration, and in the early weeks of the war she and the British government felt mutually shy of one another. Her first hospital was opened under French authority. The shyness having been dispelled, the war office asked Miss Garrett Anderson to come home and make a hospital in London. Out of her own resourcefulness, experience and initiative she is making her hospital. It has 500 beds. It is to be in working order in record time. The family record is an extraordinary one. Her mother, Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, was one of the first of women doctors. She began her medical studies in 1860, and though the College of Surgeons and the College of Physicians refused to admit her to their examinations, she obtained a license to practice from the Society of Anesthesiaries in 1865. Parls had fewer prejudices than London, and, passing the medical examinations of its university, she received her M. D. degree. Later on, when England realized that she was not to be denied, honors were not lacking, and her daughter's degree is a London one. After a long career in London Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson retired to her native town of Aldsburgh and was elected mayor. NEWSPAPER IN AN EGG. Clergyman's Wife Finds News Item Wrapped Around Yoke. Sedalia, Mo.—That a hen may swallow a news item and live to immortalize the digested information in an egg memoranda was shown when Mrs. J. A. Jared, wife of a clergyman, who corroborated their sensational breakfast, wrecked a boiled one and read the truth, or at least read the truth as near as a newspaper ever gets it. The fragment of newspaper, about a yoke and a half wide, was wrapped around the egg under the shell instead of the usual thin white shawl that protects the white of the egg in most instances. Mrs. Jared carefully removed the newspaper and found that every letter on it was readable and in fairly good English. $2.40 PER YEAR. WAR MAKING MAN OF ENGLISH HEIR Prince of Wales Serving at Front With His Regiment. MUST NOT BE CAPTURED. Life In the Open With Responsibilities Is Rapidly Developing the Slight, Rosy, Boyish, Twenty-year-old Prince. Litthe and Young, He Has Done His Twenty-five Miles a Day. London.—The Prince of Wales, the twenty-year-old future king of England, faced Earl Kitchener in the war office one day last November and demanded that he be allowed to go to the front at once. Three months previously, at the very outbreak of the war, within a week of receiving his commission as a lieutenant in the First Grenadier guards, he had made the same request, but the secretary of war Photo by American Press Association. THE PRINCE OF WALES. had refused it on the ground that the prince's military training had only just begun. For a second time the lithe and slender subaltern stood before the great field marshal. He had thrown himself into his work with such enthusiasm and patriotic fervor that now, after only twelve weeks, he was fit and ready for active service. He had been so reported by his commanding officer. Earl Kitchener listened to what the young man had to say. The British warlord is stern and unbending, but human. He knew the prince's spirit and talked with him as one soldier with another, not from a personal but from a national point of view. It went without saying that the prince was eager to fight and would do his duty just the same as any other officer, taking his chances of being killed or wounded with the rest. That was not what was worrying Kitchener. He would mourn if anything happened to the Prince of Wales, but he knew that if the heir apparent did get killed there were plenty of other people to come to the throne of England. What concerned Lord Kitchener was this: If the Prince of Wales were taken prisoner and held as a hostage by the Germans very serious embarrassment might be caused to the allies, and their plans for the final settlement of the war would be gravely hampered. This Earl Kitchener pointed out in his usual direct and forcible manner, but the young prince was not to be denied, and when he left the war office it was with the promise that he would be attached to Field Marshal French's staff at the headquarters of the British expeditionary force in France. On Nov. 16 the Prince of Wales crossed over from Folkestone to Boulogne and proceeded at once to St. Omer, where the headquarters' staff was then located. From that day till April 10, when the Prince of Wales arrived in London bearing dispatches from the British commander in chief, he has regularly performed the arduous and dangerous duties of a dispatch rider. The Prince of Wales is a slightly built and very high strung youth who looks two or three years younger than he really is. There is nothing in his uniform to distinguisht him from any other staff officer. Nearly four months elapsed from the day the prince reported for duty till Field Marshal French gave him twenty-four hours' leave. This was early in March, and instead of spending his time in the big white house in which he lives the prince ordered his car and, leaving the noncommissioned officer behind, took his brother officer and was on his way to Paris as fast as his car could carry him. On his arrival he went to an old fashioned hotel in the Rue de Rivol, facing the Tulierles gardens, and sent word of his presence to the British embassy in the Faunburg St. Honore. When the Right Hon. Sir Francis Bertie, the ambassador, had he at it once wired over to Buckingham palace, but the king and queen evidently decided not to interfere. So the ambassador called upon the Prince of Wales and took him round to lunch with President Policare. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ST.

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1915. THE BISHOP'S OPPORTUNITY. Some of the unthinking editors are urging Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. Z. Church to become a candidate for Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. We trust the bishop will not fall for their flattery and place himself before the country as asseeker of political office. To do so would be a disgrace to himself, his family, his church and the people with whom he is identified. It would also be dishonorable, because he has recommended other men for the place and it would be difficult to convince the people that there had not been duplicity in handling the matter. To even become a candidate for the place would lessen his influence with the Wilson administration and he would also forfeit the respect of the people of the country and if he succeeded in getting the place he would be a "dead one" so far as influence with the president is concerned. The office of Recorder of Deeds and two or three other places would really be of little value at present. What the colored people need now is JUSTICE. A thousand appointments would not pay for what has been lost by the Democratic policy of segregation. If Bishop Walters is a real man with a back bone, now is the time to prove it. Let him spurn the offer of the political place and tell President Wilson plainly that the colored people can not be caught by any such chaff. THEY WISH JUSTICE, NOT OFFICES. A PAPER WITH A SOUL A thing can not be judged by its size. This is especially true of the spiritual. Some of the most famous men and women known to history were those whose great souls were encased in fragile bodies. Among our exchanges are several papers which are filled with TYPE.

Something is lacking. They print columns of news (?) but condone wrong. Another paper, a modest little five column folio, often poorly printed comes to the editor. Every week it strikes strong blows for justice and right. It prints powerful editorials, many veritable gems, not only against those who oppress, but also against the contemptible curs within, who kiss the hands which smite. The little paper is the Pioneer-Press of Martinsburg, W. Va.,—a newspaper with a soul. DISHONORING CHRISTS The Chicago papers say that the HOLY NAME DRAIMATIC SOCIETY of the IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH, under the direction of REVEREND C. F. DONOVAN, gave an old time minstrel show at the PARISH HALL, 1416 Wieland street. Think of so called Christians blackening their faces and pulling off some old time lies about colored people who gorge themselves with - watermelon and appropriate chickens belonging to others, thus spreading the seeds of racial prejudice through false impressions of American citizens of darker hue. Could anything be more disgusting or further removed from true Christianity? If that is the best that the HOLY NAME SOCIETY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH can do to further the cause of Christ, they ought to change the name of the society and the church as they have no right to use Christ's Holy Name for such infamous purposes. A MINSTREL MAYOR. Mayor Harry P. Pearson of Evanston will be interlocutor at a minstrel show, according to the Chicago papers. The affair will be pulled off at the Neighborhood Club of North Evanston, May 20 and 21, and will be for the benefit of the Neighborhood Club libraries, which are installed in the city. The descent of Evanston has been swift. It was started when a jim-crow Y. M. C. A. was opened about a year ago. Then came the attempted segregation of two colored postoffice clerks and a postoffice employees banquet and now the mayor of the city so far forgot the dignity of his office that he has decided to blacken his face and make fun of one group of school libraries. And the affair is to be staged in LINCOLN SCHOOL! The colored citizens of Evanston ought to protest at once against the public school building being used for a minstrel performance and they ought to remember Mr. Pearson when he comes up for re-election. An organization known as the Colored Protection League of Colorado has been formed in that state, with the following objects: 1. The lessening of racial prejudice. 2.

THE APPEAL has printed a number of editorials along this line showing that Americans have lost millions of dollars through their fincrow 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) Abbott, one of the worst enemies the colored people have ever had and whose record as a give out of misleading information about racial conditions is A1, is out west again handing out some more slush. Recently he stood in a pulpit in Illinois and said: "The South has invocably 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 is the white South is 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 starred by the white South. It began in the days of slavery, when the white master forced the black slave women to bear children, who followed the condition of their mothers and became slaves. A few masters manumitted their half breed children, but they were the exceptions to the general rule. Many masters offspring for sale and in time the makers made a practice of breeding their raising of children for the slave markets became a recognized Southern industry. Since the abolition of slavery, the white South, claiming Christ as its guiding star, has enacted laws making Christian marriage a felony, thus directly 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 invasions of the early days, read the barbariates of the Middle Ages; read of the Inquisition; read the story of the French Revolution; read of Russia's persecution of the Jews; read of civilequal in blackness what Southern white people have meted out to their own sons and daughters to their own illized (?) Europe's rage of Africa; read the horrors of the Christians' war now devastating Europe. Add all of these together and they will not brothers and sisters, who are of a slightly darker hue. It is the blackest page in the annals of the world. n who in the con- gge 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- "CHRISTIAN UNITY PERILLED." Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary for foreign work of the Y. M. C. A. is fearful that "Christian unity" whatever that is, will be perilled by the present war. In a recent address at Los Angeles, he said: "Christian unity will be maimed hopelessly by this great war. In every country taking part in the great conflict I heard it called a "holy war" Christianity will be affected for at least two generations and the Y. M. C. A. and similar bodies in America must lead in the redemption." The Christianity of every country in Europe is superior to the Christianity (?) of the Y. M. C. A. in America, the principal mission of which seem to be to mock Christ by drawing the color line and Dr. Mott will only make a bad condition worse if he continues to try to introduce the American brand of Christianity into Europe. Every style of outrage which has been perpetrated in Europe was first enacted by American Christians in the United States. If Europe is to be redeemed by American Y. M. C. A. Christianity, Göd help it! A writer in "Liberty," published quarterly in Washington, D. C., under the capiton, "The Inallanable Rights of Man," presents some incontrovertable facts, viz. "Governments are 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, irrespective 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 article and lived up to his ideals this might be justly called the "Land of the Free." 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 Negroes born in Africa. 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, unjust and un-American for the government to issue a separate and inaccurate Census Bulletin as it has done in the case of the bulletin, "Negroes in 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 clerks mentioned for many years and is well aware of the excellent records they had made before the census segregation scheme was evolved. These two gentlemen are mixed bloods, one being a blonde, at least three-fourths white. He should not be called a "Negro" because he is not a "Negro," but a colored man. Call him a colored man if it is absolutely necessary to call attention to the fact, but it would be better for the country and for all the people if he and all other people were called Americans. That's the correct name for all persons born in the United States. 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. If a man whose ancestors for many generations is not an American, who is entitled to the name? If 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 inaccurate, 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 racial questions agree. The mixing of blood in this country has come so for that it is impossible has gone so far that it is impossible e eruline with any degree of accuracy 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. It is an infamous thing for the government of this great republic to draw the color line in any way. In a republic every citizen should have exactly the same status so far as the government is concerned. There is no reason why a Democracy should attempt to classify its citizens by their blood. All persons born in this country should be considered Americans without any prefexes or suffixes. 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 NEW ABOLITION. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People came as a direct result of the Springfield riots of 1908. After several conferences it was organized and permanent headquarters opened in November 1910. 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 brief but uncompromising. The official statement contains among other things the following strong statement and demands: "The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women in this country by securing to them the rights of all citizens, justice in all courts and equality of opportunity everywhere. It favors and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which requires the education of college or pervasive, class or caste. The national character of the race problem and no sectionalism. It believes in the upholding of the constitution of the United States and itsmandate in the case of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the 'all men up and no man down'. It abhors Negro crime, but still more the conditions which breed crime and, most importantly, the crimes committed by men in the case of the black 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 aid the white man to be free from the oppression. It has no other desire than equal justice and no other motive than humanity." The proposed program for the advance 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 dozen battles to kill to our friends into a false sense of difference and present satisfaction. The American Negro demands equality—political equality—and he is never going to rest satisfied with anything less. He demands this in no spirit of braggadocio and with no obsequious measures, but as an absolute measure others, and the only one that will assure us to race their ultimate survival on earth "The colored people must have industrial freedom. Between the peonage of the rural south, the oppression of shrewd capitalists and the leasoux of certain trade unions the colored laborer is the most exploited class in this country, giving more hard toll for less and more 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 bootkicks to segregate, strangle and spiritually drive the colored man so that he can give as possible chance to know and share his views." "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 gift. He must have power from the political tyranny of white men; 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 industrial society and the power 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 interaction. There was a time when the atomic individualistic group when "social intercourse" meant merely calls and tea parties; today social intercourse means theater, lectures, organization, education, curriculums, travel, hotels—it means. To bar a group from methods of thinking, living and doing, is to bar them from the world and bid them create a world—it is to crucify them and them with not being able to live." Dr. DuBois suggest five practical steps for action—first, economic co-operation; second, a revival of art and craft; third, a revival of 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. Organization requires the use of opinions, of time, of work and of money, but it is, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of freedom and efficiency. I thank God that we can afford to report this association comes from colored hands. A still larger proportion must come, and we must not only support, but control, this and similar organizations and hold them unwavengedly 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 forward, a reasonable accomplishment of our desire, is the reason we are despised today by millions of people not because we suffer; but because we suffer like dumb, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces. To what other race could it happen on God's green earth that its of great importance, assembled thousands could congratulate his people because only fifty-two-colored men and women have in one short year been hanged and shot and burned by mobs. If that can give 10,000 people satisfaction, in God's name, what will it take to make them fight? "As for me and those that think with me, so long as one black man in the United States is illegally punished in the United States, has the door of opportunity closed in his life, protest and complain and protest again whether the world wants to hear us or not. We may not gain our ends. We cannot gain our ideals. But the program I lay before you is not only reasonable and just, but it is a program of peace and patience, and in laying it down I face great causes, great causes, if peace and patience cannot win, then win and struggle must. In any case there can be no despair, there can be no surrender, there can be no surrender, there can be no man draws a breath in America." George Mason, a Kentucky white man, who lives in the cliffs north of High Bridge, on the Kentucky river, so frightened at the sight of the first bison he threw a rock at the Royal Palm on the Queen & Crescent route. The stone broke a window and hit Ragan's scalp, but after receiving more treatment he was able to continue his journey. Mason declares that he had never before seen a train and that of his seeing what was some sort of "huge varmint."

Fifth and Jackson Sts. WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO" Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "greater." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that the most potential factor at work in the United States is about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Boils and Washington feel that its repetition is the most important to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly the following reasons: a. It has no meaning in the present, anywhere in the world for any noble or uplifting. b. High-grade Africans repudiate it. c. In Africa and out of Africa it was applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofly," and its compounds, "Negro-head, Negro-ny, Negro-monkey, are all clearly ditsy forms, associations, degrading. d. Its forms, Negress, are justly and correctly used to tell your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. e.

It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favor and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Must Judge A Group by its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons we have the most knowledge and think they know the colored race of people who have had the colored contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the other we should say that the second know the colored race better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the other which others are oblivious of; they know only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who knew the colored race through the mass and by individuals could know what individual possibilities are stated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the "HUMAN NATURE" My ear is My soul is sick with evi Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is severe That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guil Not colored like his ow To enforce the wrong, Dooms and devotes him Thus man devotes his b 'Tis human nature's br "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT."

That we much rather be, and, associate among ourselves, is an ingrity by the Colored Americans that has become almost trite. That is a mistake; it is as feeling of avowed cowardice and unsolicited cor�ity. It is an utter impositional for the time to describe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race work out its own salvation. The "theory" has been a tried and resulted into a ghastly failure to be making for harms and a loss of good health between two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have heeded too much by the loss from false and treacherous leadership that the race was 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 a collection of "advice" faithfully and have been depended on terms of residence and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is a result of the blackest pieces of legislation, since the pre-war era our women defenselessness and at the mercy of the brutes separate schools, jimcrow cars, and even legislating to exclude further. Negro immigration. These are the same results from "non-resistance" and "risk" by the selves." That with the same degree of affontry and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and the same status with this same affontry and legislation with which political and manhood rights be taken from others. That is a fact. Every congress of fers legislation degrading and inimical to our well being. Race prejudice is the same. We must be born down at a thrillion, and go ourselves to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and be subsequently become accustomed to one another.
