NO. 26 AID BELGIANS ON A BUSINESS BASIS Commission Will Have Provided Foodstuffs to the Value of $65,000,000 by Middle of August—Profit Made in Cheap Bread—Belgians Have Done a Lot of Work Themselves. London.—The American commission for relief in Belgium will have provided foodstuffs to the value of about $65,000,000 for the Belgian people by the middle of August. Charitable contributions from America will have amounted to about $5,000,000 and from other quarters of the world approximately the same total. The great bulk of the food supplies, representing the remaining $55,000,000, is being provided indirectly by the Belgian people themselves. This is made possible by the elaborate financial machinery set up by the commission, enabling the Belgians to utilize their own energies and resources. Fully 75 per cent of the Belgian people are being supplied with food by the commission without recourse to charity. One result of the commission's operations is that bread is now cheaper in Belgium than in London. When the commission was formed last October, under the charismach of Herbert Clark Hower, it was estimated that the total amount required to keep the population of Belgium we would amount in value to about $50,000,000 before the next harvest. The rise in the price of foodstuffs increased the necessary amount to $65,000,000. The greatest problem in this connection was involved in the fact that foodstuffs sold in Belgium to those who still had resources were paid for in paper. The entire metallic currency disappeared early in the war, and national bank notes were so scarce that communities were printing paper issues. This paper money had no value outside of Belgium, and in any event to have exported it would have denuded the country of currency. But unless this money were turned into gold it would be necessary for the commission to find in the outside world an amount of money which was out of the question. At the outset, therefore, the commission began to devise a method of exchange of the exchange of these local currency issues. Negotiations were opened with the belligerent governments for permission to set up a form of exchange whereby persons or institutions abroad owing money in Belgium should turn over to the commission the amount due in sterling or dollars. The commission undertook to pay their debts for them in Belgium out of paper money which it received from the sale of foodstuffs. belligerent nations agreed to this offer. The commission thus set up a form of exchange. The commission is today the only institution which is doing a systematic banking business across enemy lines. By degrees the commission has extended this exchange department of its organization, which has come to be the lifeblood of the structure. It has induced many well to do Belgians to pledge their credit for money handed over to the commission in gold, which in turn is paid to them in Belgium in paper. The commission also has advanced money to the communal governments, taking their obligations therefor, and by pledging these obligations abroad has obtained further resources. The communes have been enforced this manner to procure money to pay棠棠 to maintain the schools and keep up the public works, thus enabling the Belgians to carry on the details of civil government and saving the country from the dancer of unarchic conditions. One phase of these operations arose in connection with a number of Belgian concerns, which, while they had resources abroad, had exhausted their local resources in payment of workmen or in disbursements to depositors. A form of hardship had grown up through the inability of such concerns to make good their obligations to the public, and persons who had believed themselves well to do were being forced to the bread lines through inability to draw money due them. Through the operations of the commission these concerns were enabled to hand over in London and New York funds they possessed abroad, and the commission in turn delivered paper money to the sale of food. Thus the cycle of credit was established, and many thousands of persons were saved from the bread line. Before this machinery was set up practically the whole population was dependent on the world's charity, paper money being of no avail. The initial appeals of the commission, therefore, were made on behalf of the 7,000,000 of people. With the success of these financial efforts, however, all of the people still able to pay for their food were made self dependent, and the appeals of the commission for charitable contributions were reduced to those made on behalf of the absolutely destitute Found on Slab Just Turned Over After Fifty Years. Columbia, Coun—Needing a fat stone for repairs that he was making, Ed. Edward Phillips pried up one which for over fifty years had been used as a stepping stone near the farmhouse back door. To his surprise he saw on the reverse side, in fairly plain letters, the inscription: In memory of Emily, daughter of Mr. Joseph and Mrs. Eunice Smith, who died April 15, 1814, aged six months and fifteen days. Rest, thou, sweet slumberer, in the peaceful grave; Short was thy life; forgotten soon shall be. Except the few who, drowned in sorrow's wave. With painful pleasure still remember thee. Nobody knows where the stone had been used or where it came from. Mr. Phillips' father bought the house over fifty years ago and the stone was at us before then for a stepping stone. It is five feet long and nearly two feet wide. LAST SHOT OF CIVIL WAR Woman Asked Police to See if Old Gun Was Loaded—It Was. New York—The "last shot of the civil war" was fired recently in a courtroom. It came from a gun which had been hanged for years on a wall in the home of the late Willard H. Hodgson. The musket had been carried in the war of the rebellion by Mr. Hodgson's father. Mr. Hodgson's sister was preparing to move to another house, but was afraid to take down the old musket. She called in Leutenant Henry Brown of the Flatbush police station and turned the gun over to him. He took it around to the station house and showed it to Attendant. Patrick O'Loughlin of the Flatbush court, which is in the same building. Standing in the corridor O'Loughlin pointed the gun to the floor and pulled the trigger. The war musket was heavily loaded, and the people in the courtroom. WANTS A NATIONAL BANK IN CANAL ZONE Helm of Kentucky Would Go After South American Trade. Washington. — Representative Helm of Kentucky has a plan to establish a national bank at Ancon, in the Panama canal zone, with branches elsewhere in that country. He would call it the Pan-American bank and give it a capital stock of $25,000,000, divided into shares of par value of $100 each. Just before congress adjourned Mr. Helm introduced a bill to incorporate the Pan-American bank, and when the Sixty-fourth congress convenes he will press it for action. "The commercial tieup resulting from the European war has convinced every man that the United States that foreign trade is a vital country in our domestic prosperity and that the continents of North and South America have greater identity of interests than was ever realized before," said Mr. Helm. "There never was a time when opportunity was knocking so loud at our doors. The commerce and business of a continent are within our grasp. The manufacturing enterprises in Central and South America are very limited, and it is to this matter that I wish the attention of the country could be directed. "Few, if any, of the republics to the south of us have the means of transporting or delivering their products to other country. Under existing conditions the United States and South America flows across the Atlantic. It ought to be dowling from North America to Central and South America. "About the only means of creating commercial and business relations are banking facilities, transportation, press bureau and mercantile agents. Under the federal reserve act a bank with $1,000,000 capital in the United States can establish a branch bank in any of the local and central or South America. This provision does not meet the conditions. What we need is a bank of sufficient proportions and magnitude and importance and prestige to handle the business of the continent. "The government of the canal zone is going to be just as stable and steady as the government of the United States. If we establish a bank on the canal zone it becomes identified with the local government in behind it. That the government is confident and makes it a sure go. The governments to the south of us would be inspired with confidence in the institution." Girl Made a Lieutenant. Petrograph—Army orders contain the promotion of a young woman, Alexandra Lagerev, to lieutenant, with sixteen other girls belonging to families of Czechs. She has been fighting alongside male relatives since the beginning of the war. Eight of these have been killed, Miss Lagerev was a prisoner, but she killed her guard and escaped and led a reconnotering party which captured eighteen uhlans. Defective Page THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., SATURDAY. JUNE 26, 1915. EUROPEAN TRAVEL HALTED BY WAR As a Result $275,000,000 Stays In America. OCEAN PATHWAY DESERTED: Great Passenger Liners That Formerly Carried Thousands Back and Forth Now Doing Duty In the War or Tied Up at Their Piers in Neutral Ports. Statistics Show Loss to Europe. New York.—A quarter billion dollars of good American money will be kept in this country this year on account of the war. There will be at least that much saved by the inability of the public to travel to Europe. Last year the steamship companies received in fares alone approximately $33,000,000, carrying eastward and westward more than 1,200,000 passengers. A conservative estimate fixes the amount spent by this traveling army at close to $102,000,000, making the total amount spent for European travel $275,000,000. There will be no exodus to Europe this summer, however. The Great Green Way of the Atlantic is as lonely as New York's Great White Way on a summer Sunday night. This is the time of year when the rush across the ocean begins. The tide of travel sweeps east across the Atlantic from May till August and back again from August till the middle of October. But this year the tide hasn't set in and it won't set in. Uncle Sam is holding back the tide by refusing to issue passports, and on the other side of the ocean the kaiser's submarines prove an obstacle. Nobody is able away who can't prove to the satisfaction of Uncle Sam that he or she has business in Europe, Doctors, Red Cross reserves, continue to go, but even their number is dwindling. From all ports of the north Atlantic there left for Europe last year in four months just 27,727 passengers. During the same four months of this year the number of departures was 4,198, a falloff of 17,529. The westward sallings were 13,692 for the same period last year and this year 4,674, a deficit of 8,995. The arrivals and departures at New York last year from and to Europe totaled an army of 1,200,000, class 121,105; class 148,890 traveled first, class 241,810; class 313,743 in the steerage. The grand total to and from all north Atlantic ports was: Eastward—first class, 83,261; second class, 121,105; steerage, 479,232; Westward—first class, 90,840; second class, 238,347; steerage, 631,862. The average first class fare across the Atlantic on little ships and big ships is $120, second class $50 and third or steerage $35. That means that last year $20,822,120 was paid the steamship companies for first class passages, $17,720,000 for second class and $44,822,120 for steerage, a total of $800,000. Placing the amount of money spent during the season in Europe by the first class traveler at $1,000, the second class at $500 and the steerage at $100, a pretty good average of American contributions abroad will be the result. Computed by these figures the amount spent in Europe last year by the American traveling public would have been $191,720,700. That these figures are by no means overestimated will be realized when one stops to recharge the season would be no money at all for the American families to dissipate. This would alone mean $50,000,000. At a modest calculation there was spent last year by people from America on European travel $278,644,500; $300,000,000 would be, perhaps, nearer the mark. It is safe to say that the war has cost Europe $250,000,000 of American tourist money this year. That much cash in hand would do strange things. It would do wonders for the economy of the country. It's the ransom of a king even to a Rockefeller. There will be just that much more money remaining in the United States this year. The click of glasses and the clink of wealth are hushed. The steward's tips are missing. The bands of music are silent. The $10,000,000 Vaterland of the Hamburg-American line is eating her head off at the dock in Hoboken. The $10,000,000 Imperator of the same line is a hospital ship at Bremen. The $10,000,000 Ship Aquitania of the Cunard line is a converted cruiser, and the $10,000,000 Olympic of the White Star line has also been impressed by the British government. The France, the beautiful $8,000,000 queen of the French fleet, is doing government duty for France. The North German Lloyd's Kronprinzessin Cecilie, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Kronprinz Wilhelm II were figured in the war. More ships than the average are arriving. The ships of the Royal Steamers whose names are unfamiliar to customs men and shipping men have reached the port in the past six weeks, sometimes as many as ten a day. They come here under charter or looking for a charter to carry away American goods. All kinds of freight is being stowed away in their holds, all kinds of vessels are in demand. They can't come here fast enough to satisfy the merchants and manufacturers who have goods for foreign consumption. TERRIER'S LONG VIGIL. Guarded Basket For Twenty-four Hours Before Yielding. FIGURE BEFORE FIELDING. St. Louis — Ignoring all blandishness, St. Louis guarded an emu basket for twenty hours at Taylor and Adams streets, Kirkwood, until finally a boy made friends with the dog and coaxed it to his home, to which he also took the basket. Persons living in the neighborhood first observed the dog at its vigil the previous afternoon. It refused to let anybody touch the basket and could not be lured away by tempting offers of food. Mrs. J. J. Wilkins carried food and water to the dog and gave it a sack to lie upon. King Amber, fourteen- dge of Arthur Amber, made overture to the terrier for a long time before he won its confidence sufficiently for it to permit him to take the basket. Who owns the dog and the basket could not be ascertained, and young Amber said he owned the owner would not turn up. TEACHERS ALL GET MARRIED Superintendent of Battle Creek (Mich.) Schoola la Growing Creek Schools is Growing Desperate. Battle Creek, Mich.-Mich. W. G. Coburn, superintendent of schools, complains of the invades that Cupid makes on his corps of teachers. An amazing proportion of them leave each year to marry. This year nineteen teachers are leaving diamond solitaires. Professor Coburn has made many visits to normal schools to fill vacancies, and he says that now year he will have to do it all over again. Last year he warned the county clerk against issuing marriage licenses to schoolteachers under contract. He declared that "a woman who will break her contract with the school board would not hesitate very long about breaking a marriage contract." The county clerk couldn't see his way clear to turn down an applicant for another term. Mr. Coburn has been superintendent of schools here for twenty years, and recently he was re-elected for another term. Chicago.—The city of Chicago is giving away officially certified babies—baby beeed, gray eyed and blue eyed little babies—but they are intrusted to the care of highly recommended and thoroughly worthy foster babies only. This is a new idea, in which Chicago leads the way. Medical officials of other large cities are watching its development with a view to its adoption. Chicago, like every other municipality, finds on its hands dependent little ones who have no parents to care for them, no friends to vouch for their good behavior. Chicago takes them all under its broad wing—Chicago leads among the baby loving cities—examines them physically and mentally and then offers officially certified infants for adoption. What home needs a baby? Many a household is ready and anxious to welcome a healthy and happy youngster, but not every one is worthy of the new arrival. At least so Chicago thinks, and thereupon proceeds to examine the would be foster parents. Dr. William J. Hickson of the psychopathic laboratory of the municipal court of Chicago the originator of the plan. Hickson is a baby specialist, also an ardent student of the problem of mental deficiency. Here are his fixed standards for a certified baby: "At birth the certified baby must weigh at least six pounds and measure twenty inches. "At one year of age he must weigh twenty-one pounds and measure twenty-seven inches, increasing three inches during the second year, and from his third to tenth year two inches annually. His fontanelle, or 'soft spot', should close at about the nineteenth month. 'Mentally he should be as follows:' "Three to four and one-half months, grasp an object that is placed before him. Hold his head erect, unsupported." "Seven months, sit alone, unsupported, and reach for toys." "Eight to ten months, start to creep. Some babies never creep, but start to walk instead." "Ten months, start to stand, holding some object. At eleven months, stand entirely alone and at from twelve to fourteen months start to walk." "One year, say 'mamma' and 'papa.'" "Two years, talk quite plainly, know names of animals, persons and objects and put two words together." TOWN DRUNKARD DOOMED. New York Governor Signs Bill Allow- ing Constable to Forbid Him Drink Albany, N. Y.-The town drunkard must reform in spite of himself. Governor Whitman and Senator Jones have conspired to bring this about. A bill signed by the governor provides that a peace officer or constable of a town shall have the power to forbid the sale or giving away of liquor to certain persons by notice in writing. NATIONS AT WAR WANT IT. Greece, Peaceful, Made Largest Bid Against Many Other Countries—Acquisition of Vessel Would Have Given Her a Big Naval Advantage Over Turkey. New York. — Argentina's patriotic pride in her new Dread-creampath Moreno, which sailed recently from Newport News, is strong. Not even a profit of about $8,000,000 in cash could induce the South America republic to sell this warship, one of the largest ships built at Camden, N. J. The offer was made by Greece through an agent in this city, acting on instructions of the Greek minister in Paris, whose government was willing to pay $3,500,000 for the American built vessel. The cost to Argentina for the construction of the Moreno was about $12,000,000. Greece, however, was not the only country that made bids for the immediate transfer of the warship for monetary considerations that would not Argenvalize large profit. It only is understood, is anxious to add the great sea fighting machine to its navy, although her offer was not as large as that made by the Athens government. The first intimation that negotiations had been in progress mentioned Russia as the bladder, but the fact of Russia's inability to use the navy she now has eliminated that country as one of the nations that coveted the Moreno. Yes, there have been offers for the sailed Moreno," said Manuel A. Molnol, acting主管 in New York. "I am not sure which countries made the bids, but I know that all of them were rejected by my government." The fact that Greece, not yet embroiled in the European conflict, was the highest bidder for the new sea fighter confirms a recent statement that the Hellenic power has been making pretentious military preparations, included the purchase of the United States naval Idaho and Mississippi for $12,000,000 and followed by the further offer of about $17,500,000 for the Moreno to add to her ready made navy. Greece has also bought about 100,000 tons of coal in this country and a large quantity of hospital supplies, besides ammunition. The further fact that Greece was able to pay $12,000,000 in cash for the two American vessels and was ready to pay the amount bid for the Moreno also indicates a favorable condition of the Greek exporter or the readiness of a friendly power to advance the necessary money. The New York agent to whom the Greek minister at Paris intrusted the important mission is in close social and commercial relations with Argentina, but the government at Buenos Aires refused to consider even the flattering offer that would mean a profit of 50 per cent of the battleship's cost. The prospective purchaser or purchasers were encouraged in their negotiation by the controversy that developed between the government and the New York Shipbuilding company, which built the Moreno, over the payment for extra work which delayed the delivery. The acquisition of this vessel of 27.500 tons displacement and a speed of $22\frac{1}{2}$ knots by the Greek navy in case of a conflict with her ancient and natural enemy, Turkey, would be of great importance and would give that country a greatly superior naval strength over that possessed by Turkey. Argentina has proudly rejected the great inducement, and the Moreno will continue to fly the blue and white flag. The transport Chaco of the Argentine navy brought the crew for the Moreno and is now at Philadelphia. The Chaco will follow the super-Dreadnought south. DOG A "PANHANDLER." Bubbles Collected Pennies. Enough to Pay For License. Warren, Mass.-For the license of Bubbles, a dog owned by Edward W. Burns, former proprietor of the Hotel Ramsdell, 200 cents were paid to Town Clerk William F. Duncan. Bubbles collected the cents himself from traveling salesmen and other guests in the hotel. He is a Boston bull terrier, six years old and is known to every child here. Bubbles will not be satisfied unless he is given a cent. At all times he will refuse silver. When a cent is thrown in his hand he grabs it in his teeth and runs to a corner of a room and then returns for more. At the beginning of the year Mr. Burns son began to have the cents received by Bubbles. The cents are on exhibition in the window of a Main store. New Shoes Every Six Weeks.

Come Home With Quantity of Neigh- Come Home with Quantity of Neighbor's Corn and a Few Messages. Stevens Point, Wis.-Frank M. Sackett, after a great deal of difficulty, has convinced H. K. West of this town that his chickens are a lot of bandits at heart. He told him about it long ago, and now Mr. West, blushing, admits it. Mr. Sackett complained that his seeds were being dug up faster than he could plant them. Mr. West spoke about Missouri, and Mr. Sackett agreed to "show him." He scattered corn in his garden, but first ran a thread through each kernel, and on the far end he tied little cards. Hanging from each chicken's beak when they went home were the evidences of guilt. No jury's verdict was ever more damming. Here are a few of the inscriptions on the cards: "I have just been scratching in Mr. Sackett's hand." "I am a naughty chicken." "I have been trespassing." "I am a feathered bandit." FARMERS' BIG PROFITS. War Demands, It Is Said, Added $200, 000,000 to Grower's Gains Chicago—Europe's war has enriched middle west farmers approximately $200,000,000, the money going chiefly to growers of grains. What speculators have made by the war perhaps never will be known. A prominent grain merchant said the $200,000,000 "extra" received by farmers for their bumper wheat, corn and oats crops can be readily accounted for by citing the one instance in regard to prices for cash wheat. He pointed out that wheat now is selling and has been for months at 35 cents to 50 cents more a bushel than it would have brought but for the war. MONTHS IN PRISON "HAPPIEST OF LIFE" Also Most Useful, Says Ex-Convict, a California Millionaire. Atlanta, Ga. — When Frederick A. Hyde, sixty-seven years old, millionaire land dealer and former president of the board of education of San Francisco, left the federal penitentiary here, after serving sixteen months, his first statement was that those months had been the most useful of his whole life. He added that he would return to his home in California, where his wife, daughter and three sons are waiting for him, not afraid to look any man in the face. "What have these sixteen months been the most useful in my career," said Hyde when interviewed in his apartments at the Pleddon hotel, "but this period has been the happiest of my life, and I have derived more good from my work at the prison than at any other time." Hyde was imprisoned in December, 1913, after one of the most sensational court battles in the history of the country. He was sentenced to serve two years for alleged conspiracy in land fraud, but the sentence was commuted by President Wilson. At the penitentiary Hyde was known among his fellow prisoners as the "angel convict" because of his work to better the conditions of the other prisoners, especially those who were prisoners, assigned to the prison newspaper, Gawker Works, and in the performance of his duties was allowed to go to all parts of the prison and mingle with all the convicts. From the first he took an interest in their welfare. He found that baseball and a few woutorn movie films were the only amusements in the prison. He laid out plans for a complete athletic field which, with money furnished by himself, was constructed by Hyde and his fellow prisoners. Hyde's greatest work in the prison was with the unfortunate men who finished their terms but looked upon freedom with no pleasure because they were without friends or money to live. To hundreds of these Hyde brothers, arrangement and money, in many cases, finished them with sufficient funds to re-establish themselves in business. One of Hyde's philanthropies in the prison was the establishment of a library. He bought hundreds of valuable books with his own money and donated them to the prison. PATIENT FASTED TWO MONTHS And Buttermilk "Did Taste Good at the End." Warsaw, Ind.-After establishing a record for continuous fasting Jim Robinson asked for a glass of buttermilk and as he slowly swallowed it admitted that it tasted good. This was the first nourishment taken by Robinson, who is an inmate of the county infirmary, for eight weeks. His long fast was due to lack of appetite and the fact that the taste and smell of food nauseated him. Physicians here declare his case has no palm in medical history. Fifty-five days was held to the limit of man's endurance, yet Robinson passed that mark by more than a day and is still alive. During that period he lost nearly a hundred pounds. Except for being weakened, his general physical condition was not affected.

POLAND A DESERT; FUTURE IS DARK Every Second Man In the Coun- try Is Now a Refugee. PEOPLE IN WANT OF FOOD. Robert Crozier Long Makes Extended Tour of Country and Finds Great Deviation and Much Suffering. Tells Exactly What He Has Seen and What People Face. London.-Robert Crozier Long, author and special correspondent, has written an account of his extended tour of the war devastated districts of Poland. In it he says: "Fills Poloniae, Koscinusko's epitaph on his country, has been realized. "A tour of central and south Poland and the Polish parts of Galicia convinces me of that. I visited all the chief towns and many villages, or ruins of villages, in 10,000 square miles of country lying between the Austro-German lines and the Vistula in a semicircle from the Bzurn to the Nida. I visited also the basin of the Dunajec and Willim's theater of the sanctuary May day outskirts. It is a desert, the home of nomads. I got my first glimpse of it on the Bzurn, west of Warsaw, where during a four months' artillery duel every habitat has disappeared. "I reached this battle front first after dawn and from an observation tower saw the remnants were gaud, erect pillars. This is typical of burnt out Poland. A street of frame cottages, often straw thatched, catches fire from the first shell and only ugly rows of brick chimneys are left. Most factory all have been destroyed, mostly by enemy's bombs on the suspicion that they were staff headquarters. Thirty villages either were burned or blown up. "The governor of Radom assured me that in his province 500 villages had been burned. Refugees assure me that in a circle extending thirty miles around Lodz only five villages were spared." Poland's population is suffering as no Europeans have suffered since the Thirty Years' war. Every second man is a refuge. Warsaw has 90,000 refugees, a third of them Jews. In Radom I found 15,000 refugees, in Kleuce 20,000. "A Warsaw rabbi assured me that 100,000 Jews from the towns of Lodz, Plotkow and Lowicz are without homes. Many refugees still trample the roads, begging desperately from people themselves beggars. Many thousands are huddled in the tottering fragments of cottages, while 10,000 are shivering in the abandoned trenches terraced Russian dugouts at Skaryszów. "I met many refugees without food or money and mostly ill clad. Near Ostrowiec was a dreary procession of men in thick sheepskin coats without other clothing, women in men's trousers and children in dresses improvised from shawls. "Such is Poland's present. The future will be even worse. The country, ravaged and irreclaimable, begins to resemble the primeval Sarmatian waste. Roads, forests and even fields have vanished. "The roads which have been repaired cannot bring food to civilians, for all are crowded by parallel transport vehicles. The fields were destroyed by besieging and trilateral trains, which, finding the roads too narrow, spread right and left, obliterating farms. "Winter grain was not sown, and there is no seed grain for spring." "The worst, because it is irremediable, is the forest destruction. Some woods have been hewn wholesale to make causeways through morasses, some to pave roads, some to make a clear field for artillery, some shelled to because they afforded shelter for troops, some for petroleum and burned. This forest devastation means for Poland generations of begary." STOWAWAY ALMOST DEAD. Seattle Man didn't Food or Water For Eight Days. Seward, Alaska—Leland F. Farmer, a young draftman who stowed away on the steamer Admiral Evans of the Pacific Alaska Navigation company at Seattle, was found in the lower hold. he had been eight days without food or water, when he discovered he was wedgeed downward between two bales of hay.

The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the Oklahoma and Maryland legislation aimed at restricting the colored vote is unvalid. The decision was unanimous. The decision, in short, was that it is a violation of the fifteenth amendment for a state to select arbitrarily a date, such as 1866, and provide that persons not qualified to vote on that date or whose ancestors were not so qualified are barred from voting or must submit to voting tests not required of others. The court further held that election officials who sought to enforce such clauses could be held amenable to law for denying persons a right to vote, and that such officials could not disregard the fact that the fifteenth amendment had stricken out of state law the word "white" as a qualification of voting. For more than fifteen years the "grandfather clause" has been inserted in constitutions of Southern states. The most popular form has been to exempt from educational and property tests for voting those who could vote about 1868 or 1878 or 1868, thus leaving the tests to apply to those who did not vote at those dates. In Maryland the clause was inserted in laws governing elections in various cities. In 1908 it was inserted in the law governing municipal elections in the city of Annapolis. It authorized the registration as voters of all taxpayers of the city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male children of naturalized citizens 21 years of age, and "all citizens, who prior to January 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the state of Maryland or any other state of the United States at at a state election, and the lawful male descendants of any person who prior to January 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the State of Maryland or in any other state of the United States at a state election."

Among counsel for them was former Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore. Election officials of Annapolis refused to register these colored men so that they could vote in a municipal election. The refusal was based on the fact that they could not qualify under the "ancestor" rule. A civil suit for damages was instituted against Charles E. Meyers and A. Claude Kalmey, the election officials who barred them from registry. The United States circuit court for Maryland returned a verdict for nominal damages against the election officials and in favor of the colored men. The court held that under the fifteenth amendment they had the right to vote at all elections. The election officials demurred, claiming this amendment did not apply to state elections. The court overruled the demurrier and the officials appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The Oklahoma grandfather clause provides "That no person shall be registered as an elector in this state, or be allowed to vote in any election herein, unless he be able to read and write any section of the constitution of the State of Oklahoma; but no person who was, on January 1, 1866, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at that time resided in some foreign nation, and no lineal descendent of such person, shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his inability to so read and write sections of such constitutions." The Government's Contention The government's contention was that the clause necessarily divided the voters of the state into two classes, literate and illiterate, and while there was no discrimination against any literate citizens, there was no discrimination against the illiterate ones, namely, those illiterate whose ancestors did not have the right to vote prior to January 1, 1866. The government conceded that Oklahoma was entitled to apply a literary test to its citizens as a basis for suffrage, but that the manner in which it was applied made the whole clause unconstitutional. The government also contended that as suffrage was a political, not a natural right, the words "entitled to vote" must necessarily refer to the laws under which "the ancestors" lived, not the actual fact whether the ancestors voted. "The necessary effect and operation of the grandfather clause," the government attorneys argued, "is to exclude practically all illiterate colored men, and practically no illiterate white men, and from this its unconstitutional purpose may easily be inferred." The government argued that if the clause was unconstitutional in so far as it deprived colored voters of their rights, it must be unconstitutional in its entirety. The colored people of the country should not get excited over the "Grand father Clause" decision of the Supreme Court.The millionium has not arrived. This is certain that the South will endeavor to find some means to keep colored men from voting. The literary and property tests are in effect in nearly every Southern state and although they will be overcome eventually, for many years to come, colored men will be prevented from voting by the registrars who control the situation. They will decide that the vote is not qualified no matter how intel ligent he is.

After being closed for hundreds of years, Spain has thrown open her doors to the Jews. Several centuries ago Spain was a great power. The gold torn from the helpless Indians in the Americas was poured into the country. Drunk with power, when not engaged in bull fighting, the Spanish people were busy with the Inquisition—that is every one who refused to accept the true (?) faith was subjected to the most horrible tortures. The Jews would not renounce their religion and further infuriated the Spaniards by gaining wealth while the haughty caballeros, too lazy to work or attend to business were reduced to poverty. This was too much, so the Jews were expelled. From that moment proud Spain started on the down grade. One by one her colonies gained their independence and she was practically stripped of her possessions when the United States took the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico. Now rich arrogant Spain has been humiliated, her industries are paralyzed and her people threatened with starvation. The invitation for the Jews to return to Spain was not actuated by any altruistic motives. Gold is the magic word which causes the gates closed for centuries to swing open; they have been opened with the idea of reaping through the skill of the Jews in trading, a share of the rich Latin-American trade harvest now awaiting first comers. In a short time it is expected that thousands of Jews now living in the Balkans and the war-striken area will respond to the official welcome and return to Spain. Spain has learned as all countries must learn that racial and religious prejudice is a costly fad. JAPANESE OUTWIT CHRISTIANS. The wily Japanese have "put another one over" on the fakers who are endeavoring to propagate jimcrow Christianity in the dominions of the Mikado. The Japanese government has adopted a proposal made by the governor-general of Korea to eliminate the teaching of Christianity from every Korean school, denominational or undenominational. Bishop Bashford, who represents the Methodist Episcopal church interests in Korea has returned to the United States and will present to President Wilson an appeal that he protest to Japan against the action which bars bible instruction from denominational schools. The act already passed gives ten years for the closing of the schools, but those who have read it and are familiar with the situation say it may be only five years until the denominational schools will be closed for the Jaaanese government has planned to establish shintōsism, which elevates the Mikado to the position of supreme ruler, and makes the state religion the supreme religion. One of the recent demands made on China is that Buddhism must be taught in the schools of the "Flowery Kingdom." The Chinese, poor weak people that they are were beginning to accept Christianity, but the Japanese, great according to western Christian standards, in a strong army and navy, efficient instruments in killing their fellow men, realize that the introduc n who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- gment, may con- ances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- tion of Christianity would mean the crushing of the yellow man, have determined to prevent Asiatics from taking the viper into their bosoms. Not only must Asia be kept for Asiatics but an Asiatic religion of some kind must be kept for the people. The Japanese have seen the dismemberment of Africa by so-called Christian nations. They know that millions of black people were stolen from their homes by Christian traders and sold into Christian slavery in Christian America. They know that Christian colored men, born in the United States are denied their rights of citizenship by Christians of another color. Anti-Japanese legislation in California and other western states tells them what they may expect from American Christians. The Japanese are a wise people and in limiting Christian activity they have probably saved their country from destruction. NO JIMCROWISTS NEEDED. are applicants for presidential appointments under President Wilson. A few are high class men, but we fear the majority are lacking in one vital point—manhood. Many have made it known that they would gladly accept a place with the understanding that it would be run along the color line. They have agreed that they would segregate the colored employees in their offices. It is disgusting to think that there are such cattle on earth, but THE APPEAL has it on reliable authority that such is the case. Such men should not receive official recognition. They would work great injury to the people as a whole. Segregation is too great a price to pay for political appointment and if any such brute is appointed by the President the colored people of the country ought to see to it that his confirmation is prevented. The few colored Democrats who have the ear of the Administration should adopt the slogan: No recommendations for jimcrowists. It would be better that the colored people remained without representation than to have a cowardly cur in the place. And better still: If Bishop Walters and others who are presumed to have power with the Administration would tell the President that the colored people prefer justice to offices and that it would please them better to have the ban of segregation lifted than to have a dozen appointments. Such an action would be a public service worthy of the highest praise and would mean undying fame for the men who did it. Will they have the moral courage to propose it? MUST COME CLEAN. Some of the prejudice fighters in Chicago have been at work on the infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation," and while the great contest to have the film barred from exhibition in the city was raging, some of the prominent colored people were giving a minstrel performance. Yellow and brown people blackened their faces with burnt cork and gave "coon songs" and dances and the other stuff which goes with a minstrel performance. The people who took part in this affair are very well known in colored circles, so THE APPEAL will be charitable enough to presume that they did not intend to deliberately do anything which would in any way injure themselves or the people of their group. But they must not be so thoughtless in the future. These intelligent people ought to be ashamed that they had anything to do with a minstrel performance in which the darker side of their class is shown. THE APPEAL has always opposed minstrel shows and has recently called attention to the misrepresentations of the colored people, often given in public schools and churches by white people. If the colored people of Chicago wish to make an effective protest against prejudice breeding programs of every kind, they must stop burlesquing themselves and "come clean." A PHILANTHROPISTS (?) METH- ODS. The personal property assessment for 1915, of Julius Rosenwald, the so-called philanthropist of Chicago, will be fixed at $3,000,000 by the board of assessors, according to the announcement made recently by David M. Pfaelzer, a member of that board. "His assessment has been estimated at $2,000,000 and a penalty of $1,000, 000 has been made," announced the assessor. "We will fight such an assessment to a finish," came the comment from the state attorney's office, which caused the indictment, later quashed, in Mr. Rosenwald's case for failure to schedule. "He paid taxes on more than $3,000,000 last year, and our contention is that he owns personal property of which the value is closer to $25,000,000," stated Irwin K. Walker, assistant state's attorney, assigned to the tax investigation. It appears that Rosenwald is not paying what he ought to pay. His profits, from a stock dividend alone last year, were more than $11,000,000. Although Rosenwald is a Jew and he knows that his people have suffered through centuries of segregation, he gives great sums of money to build jimcrow Y. M. C. A.'s and other institutions which have for their object the segregation of American citizens. Could money be put to a baser use? Chicago. (Editor of The Tribune.)—Speaking of the photoplay called "The Birth of a Nation," you say: "It is in all essential episodes grounded on historical fact, representing the struggles of that terrible time in the south when the whites, back from war, saw their government taken over by the newly enfranchised blacks controlled by the northern carpetbaggers. What happened to the blacks, as I脏脏 ascendant and how the white reigned his supremacy is shown with obvious natural sympathy for the south, and no doubt with such heightening of effect as dramatic art has a right to employ. It presents what the south says and the north of our day, at least, is inclined to believe to be truth. Exactly the reverse of this is true, for there never was a time when any one of the state of the south was taken over by the newly enfranchised blacks controlled by the northern carpetbaggers. That some mistakes were made during the progress of reconstruction will not be denied. How could it be otherwise? The war had just come to an end. Sectional animosity was bitter and intense. The Republican party was looked upon as the enemy of the south. No white man could identify himself with the Republican party at that time in any one of the southern states without running the risk of being socially ostracised and publicly characterized as an enemy to his section, his state, and his race. Notwithstanding these things, not less than one-third of the white men of that section—men who were to the manner born, many of whom ex-Confederate soldiers, identified themselves with and became leaders of the Republican party. These, in the end, were the men that the newly enfranchised blacks selected as their leadership they loyally and faithfully followed. I do not hesitate to assert that the reconstructed state governments at the south were the best govements those states ever had before or have ever had since. There never was a war when there was actual physical "Negro aggression" or even carpet-bagging domination, in any one of the reconstructed states. The play to which you refer, instead of being "grounded on historical misrepresentation, without having a single actual fact as the basis of its existence. It is fiction pure and simple painted from a diseased and predilective imagination, with a false and deceptive background as a basis upon which to stand. Such a play could not be otherwise than mischievous in its inception and dangerous in its results, even if the scenes depicted were a truthful reproduction of actual occurrences. But when it is or ought to be a well known fact that the alabamas are pure fabrications with a false and deceptive ground of truth to support their, their fabrication can hardly be less than criminal. In main they are false, slanderous, and malicious. They are calculated and intended to engender and intensify race prejudice and race hatred. In the interest of peace, order, truth, justice, and morality they should be suppressed. No good can come but the truth, and morality from them. It is, therefore, the duty of the societies to suppress them, just as they would suppress any other nuisance that is calculated to incite crime and general disorder in the community. In this connection allow me, as a southern man, to say, and to say whereof I know, that there are just two classes of white people at the south who keep this so-called race problem constantly before the public. The first class is composed of those who specialize race prejudice simply for the dollars and cents they can make out of it. The second class is composed of those who utilize race prejudice for the purpose of securing political distinction and official recognition which they could never secure through any merit of their own. It makes no difference with these people how much harm to the public or injustice is done to any people or race as long as they can accomplish the purpose desired. They know there is not a single person in anything they say or produce relieves to this matter. But what differences that make to them? The office seeker finds that this is his best paying political asset. What is the use, then, of considering or discussing the tariff, the financial, or any other subject or question as long as this mythical race question will answer the purpose? they find that this is the one question upon which they can hold the white so-called in object political subjection and upon which the average white man at the court can be easily fooled and deceived. As long, then, as the country believes, as you seem to believe, that these things are true and that public sentiment must tolerate them and approve methods that are criminal and practices that would be otherwise indefensible for the purpose of preventing Negro domination, "just so long will the affairs continue. Let us hope that this will eventually be opened and that justice and fair play for all will be the accepted rule of action in all parts of our country. THE APPEAL congratulates the editors of the California colored journals on the strong fight they are making against a jim crow day at the Panama-Pacific exposition. Let the colored men who exhibit go in as Americans. Keep up the fight, Brothers Outlook and New Are. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." The colored people all over the country have been fighting the mischievous and dangerous prejudice breeding film, "The Birth of a Nation." Articles, editorials, etcetera, have appeared in the papers all over the country, but the best THE AP-EAL has seen is the communication to the Chicago Tribune, written by Major John R. Lynch, who lived in the south during the reconstruction period and knows whereof he speaks. Major Lynch's article is so excellent that we reproduce it in full: JOHN R. LYCH, Author of "The Facts of Reconstr tion." The colored people of Richmond, Va., have started to fight segregation. They have held a meeting of protest and are now raising money to pay lawyers. That's the way to do it. This hellish segregation business must be fought to a finish. It is ridiculous for Americans to talk about bringing influence to stop the war now raging in Europe, but then, Americans are great egotists.

THE WANZER RECITAL, A Decided Artistic Success. ‘Miss Maude Wanzer the recent graduate from the Conservatory of Music of Macalester College, gave a recital at Dyer’s Recital Hall, on last Monday evening, that was quite grati- fying to the young lady and her friends, as she covered herself with glory. The hall was comfortably filled with her friends and their rapturous ap- plause showed that they appreciated the good music that they were favored with, ‘The program consisted of Piano “Sonata Pathtique”, Beethoven, Miss Maud Wanzer; voice, “Corisande”, Sanderson, Mrs. S. ©.

Patterson, a former attorney practicing at Washington, D G., which was argued before Judge Page Morris, of the U. S. District Court last Monday by Lawyer W. T. Francis was denfed on Wednesday Judge Morris stated that while it was plain that the attitude of Judge Wright, who tried Patterson, and whe later resigned under charges of mis conduct, showed prejudice, and thal th trial might have been im some things improper, still he was satisfle¢ It was not sufficient to justify him in granting to Patterson his liberty, No tice was given of appeal and the/mat ter may now be brought to the atten tion of the U. 8. Cireuit Court of Ap peals. Tt seems to be the universal opinion that Patterson was “rajlroaded” tc prison, but that the time to have mad ‘that point clear was by proper pro ceedings at Washington, immediatel after the trial. Mr. Franole says tha Patterson and his attorney claim tha it was impossible to do more than wa: done at Washington. RACE PRIDE.

Reforms Needed at Home. (From The Christian Register.) Race bitterness makes argument, or discussion, or any effort to come to a common understanding quite useless. Where much racefeeling is engaged, reason is neutralized. With some people, questions of the rights of colored people under the Constitution, of the people of California have become impossibly difficult to predict subject. While this is the case in this country, we have enough to 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 world, and makes our point that he wants to show that he is a real brave man, not afraid to tackle anything, and do some good where it is most needed, let him speak out against race prejudice. F. D. McCracken Appointed. Mr. F. D. McCracken, our Real Estate and Insurance Agent, has been duly appointed the authorized agent for St. Paul of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company is the authorized railroad insurance for employees of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Miller's appointment will be much appreciated by his many railroad friends. MINNESOTA PUBLIC HEALTH AS SOCIATION. The Minnesota Public Health Association announces that its membership is open to all citizens interested. Anyone who is concerned about his own health, that if his neighbor, or that of this state as a whole, should take advantage of this opportunity. Weekly public health letters and various pamphlets will be sent to every member. Minnesota the Healthiest State in the Union" is the slogan. Knowledge concerning disease and its prevention must be disseminated widely. The health and efficiency of this state depends directly upon the health and happiness of the individual citizen. Do you know, Mr. Citizen, that for your present haphazard way of preventing disease you are paying directly or indirectly, a tax greater than the war tax of a foreign citizen? Consequently, you should realize that it is not only an opportunity, but a duty to be informed and to spread this information less fortunate neighbor. Knowledge you need to do your share in Minnesota's great battle against preventable disease and death. Information will be sent to anyone who sends his or her name and address to the Minnesota Public Health Association, Old Capitol, Saint Paul, Minnesota. The Association's new year begins JUNE the first. As new mailings lists will be made up soon after, please send your name in at once. Simply address: Minnesota Public Health Association, Old Capitol, St. Paul, Minn. Fire Insurance Rate Cut. A reduction of 20 per cent is to be made in the annual rate on dwellings and contents in all municipalities having fire protection. The term rule, however, is changed so that hereafter the rate for three years will be two and a half instead of two times the annual rate, and the rate for five years will be four instead of three times the annual rate. With the 20 per cent reduction in the annual rate, the three year rate will remain the same and the five year rate will be increased about 6% per cent. SO-LIT INVITATIONS To Whom This May Concern. The So-Lit Club has issued invitations for a private River Outing, but there is a typographical mistake in the text.
