NO. 27 THE JULY CHURCH Historic Building In Which Many Signers Worshipped. OLD Christ church, the historic and sacred edifice in Philadelphia where three-fourths of the signers of the Declaration or independence worshiped, commemorates the third birthday every year with impressive parishion and religious services. Representatives of the Lutheran, Presbyterian and Episcopal churches, the religious bodies that were active in the life of Philadelphia when independence was declared, generally participate in the services. Last year the services took the form of a prayer and thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessing of civil and religious liberty. Addresses were made by Bishop Garland, representing the Episcopal church; the Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts of the Presbyterian general assembly and the Rev. Dr. Edwin Heyl Dellah, the Lutheran church. The services were conducted by the Rev. Louis C. Wainburn, rector of Old Christ church. The order of service was the one adopted in 1785 by the church to be used every year on the Fourth of July. The service was attended by representatives of President Wilson, Mayor Blankenburg, the Colonial Dames, the Sons of the Revolution and of the Pine Street Presbyterian church, whose pastor, Dr. Duffield, like Dr. White, rector of the Church church, was a chapin of the Fifth of the national congress. The clergy of the Church meetings, with the other guests, met in the Neighborhood House and proceeded into the church while the historic CHRIST CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA bells of Old Christ church were ringing as they did in 1776. The entire church was filled with persons who worshiped in the same pews where knelt the churchmen and patriots of the Continental congress. Bishop Garland, at the conclusion of his address, read the following poem, written by him for the occasion: *INTERIOR* PAGE DAY. Lord, in thy house this sacred day. We kneel where patriots knelt to pray; They pledged their faith in thee. They took up arms for liberty. In not their strength, but in thy might. They trusted to defend the right. And thou distin guide them by thy hand. And 'stablished firm our fatherland. God of the patriots, be our guide; Protect this hand for which they died; Add to thee the three times. To live for truth and liberty. Here's a Patriotic Cake. One cupful of butter, two cupfuls of granulated sugar, one cupful of milk, three and one-half cupfuls of flour, three level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, whites of six eggs. Sift the flour and baking powder together three times. Add the milk and, last, the eggs; flavor to taste. Divide the batter into two equal portions. To one porcelain, add two drops of pink fruit coloring. Bake. Put to together with a white lcing; ice in white and decorate with small red and blue candies made to form the dates 1776-1915. The Magic of Pyrotechnics Strange, fantastic, beautiful and wonderful things are imprisoned by the fireworks experts in the dull pasteboard cases that cover their magical compounds, as the fisherman's flask of Arabian tradition held the mighty Afrif. The fiery dragons, clouds of light, meteoral blazonry of stars, dazzling streamers and coronations of effulgence that fill the air are so many ministers of delight to millions on every Independence day, bringing weird and startling sentences with every fresh glimpse of swiftly fading beauty and glory. 710 NEW MAIL ROUTES. Rural Free Delivery Extensions to Benefit 7,875,000 Families. Washington.—Establishment of 710 new rural mail delivery routes to serve 82,300 families and the extension of existing service so as to reach 15,400 additional families were announced the other day by Postmaster General Burleson. Nearly all of the new routes went into operation June 15. Enlargement and extension of the rural service were made possible, a post office department statement explains, by a readjustment in April and May resulting in a reduction of operating amounts to $311,262. Orders to assist in writing the postmaster general's signature building for new rural automobile services in localities, as authorized by the last appropriation bill. People on these routes, when living within a radius of twenty-five miles, will enjoy local rates. The first of the routes will go into operation on Aug. 1. LIVING COST LAID TO WOMEN Durand, Ex-Census Director, Says Homes Lack Efficiency. St. Paul—Dr. E. Dana Durand, formerly director of the United States census bureau and now in the department of economics of the University of Minnesota, placed the chief blame for the high cost of living on the consumers. And those, he said, were primarily the women. "If the home continues to be reactive and spurs efficiency no amount of law or will later conditions," he said. "Even if the government began changing their ways now solution of the problem will take about fifty years, for a complete revolution in the moral character of the public is necessary to effectually reduce the cost of living." NEW X RAY SHOWS HAND BEHIND DOOR NEW X RAY SHOWS HAND BEHIND DOOR Danger of Burning Eliminated by New Invention. New York—After fifteen years of experimentation marked by many reverses and disappointments, Charles H. Stanley, an electrical engineer, announced that he had perfected an X ray device which will mark as great an advance in the science of surgery and therapeutics as the original X ray of Roentgen. A demonstration of the machine in Stanley's laboratory made it appear that the forecast by Gugielmo Marconi that one would some time be able to look from one room into another room, dividing walls is about to be realized. Through an ordinary door an inch and an eightth thick and twelve feet from the ray generated by the electrical machine a reporter was able to distinguish clearly the bones of the hand of Stanley moving on the other side, as well as to see the outlines of his hand. This test was made simply to illustrate the immensely greater power of the new machine over the old X ray devices. It is only one of the improvements claimed by Stanley. The principal value of the discovery lies in the fact that the rays may be applied to patients for extended peri- tension time without the slightest danger of burns, often incurable, the danger of burns, often incurable, has been one of the most serious drawbacks to the use of the old X ray and often has offset the advantages accruing. The Roentgen rays are ordinarily applied only long enough to obtain a picture of the wound, fractured bone, dislocation or diseased portion of the body on which it is proposed to operate. With the new rays a photograph is not necessary, as the rays may be continued an indefinite length of time on the patient, and the surgeon may work directly in the ray. JESS ORDERS BIG SHOES. Measurement Shows the Champion Has "Some Feet" Olathe, Kan. — Jess Willard, the world's champion heavyweight, formerly a cowboy in the west, ordered a pair of "cowboy boots," sending his measurements by mail to a cowboy boot factory here. The boots are number 10½ of regular boot width, and the calf measurement is twenty inches, the largest by two inches of any of the 150,000 pairs of boots. The factory who have been in business here thirty-years. Every stitch is hand sewed, and before the pair is completed they will have passed through the hands of sixteen shoemakers, each of whom does one particular part. $2,000,000 HOUR WAR'S COST Total For First Year Will Be $17,400,000,000, Says French Economist. Paris. — Captain Edmund Thery, widely known as an economist, estimates that the total military expenditures for the first year of the war will be $17,400,000,000,000 for the seven allies and $7,000,000 francs ($7,400,000,000 for Germany, Austria and Turkey. This makes an average of 7,250,000,000 francs ($1,400,000,000) a month, 242,000,000 francs ($48,400,000) a day, 10,000,000 francs ($2,000,000) an hour. He believes the economic powers of Germany and Russia can support the strain much more easily than their opponents. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY: JULY 3. 1915. "GIVEN UP,"LIVED 54 YEARS. Confederate Veteran Left on Field Mortally Wounded. Fulton, Mo.—Left on the battlefield dying with the surgeon's notation, "mortally wounded," written after his name, only to live fifty-four years and die a natural death, was the experience of the late John W. Davis, a Conferencer of veteran of Fulton. A letter just received from Joseph A. Mudd, another Conferencer veteran of Hyattsville, Md., tells the story as follows: "I have just seen mention of the death in Fulton of John W. Davis. He was a member of the grand company of brave boys commanded by Captain D. H. McIntyre, afterward attorney general of Missouri—Company A, Burbridge's regiment. Ours was Company B, and we stood side by side in battle. Colorado Davis was just my age. "At Wilhelm, nearly fifty-four years ago, I saw him so badly hurt that the surgeon wrote 'mortally wounded' after his name." FAMOUS FLAG FOR STATE. Colonel Proctor's "Rattlesnake" Now in Library. Greensburg, Pa.—The famous Rattlesnake flag has been transferred from the vault of the Merchants and Farmers' bank in Greensburg to the state library. Harrisburg, to take its place among other interesting relics of American wars. The Rattlesnake flag belonged to Colonel John Proctor's Independent battalion of Westmoreland county. It was made in 1775 and was carried in the Revolution. Samuel Craig, Sr., who, with his three sons, John, Alexander and JuniorJunior, fought in Proctor's battalion, was the color bearer. On Colonel Proctor's death the flag passed to the next senior officer, and so on to the last survivor, George Alexander Craig. It was bequested by his great granddaughter, Jane Maria Craig of New Alexandria, to the state library at Harrisburg. MILLION MORE TO GET MAIL DELIVERY Rural Route Changes Will Greatly Extend the Service. Washington.-Mail facilities will be extended to 1,000,000 rural patrons before July 1, 1915, without increasing the present cost of service, according to a statement by Postmaster General Burleson. This, it is explained, will be done by readjusting present rural routes so as to eliminate duplications and unnecessary service and by means of the motor vehicle service authorized by changes. Changes were authorized which without curtailment of service, have reduced operating expenses $177,644. This sum has been utilized to establish 263 new routes serving 31,041 additional families, or approximately 155,205 additional persons. Extensions of existing service were put into effect involving 104 additional miles of travel by rural carriers. These extensions serve 1,202 additional families and approximately 6,010 additional persons. In explanation of his plans Mr. Burleson. "The purpose is to enable the postoffice department to meet just demands for mail service which thus far the department has been unable to provide. This can be done only by careful and painstaking readjustment of existing service. Thorough survey and study of existing conditions therefore have been made. "In some localities it has been found there are unnecessary and unjustifiable duplications and retractions of travel by rural carriers. In other cases it bears that unsuspecting privileges involving mail service have been allowed. It is quite feasible to rectify these inequalities, and this is being done. "Later we expect by utilizing modern motor vehicles on improved highways to extend many existing routes at no additional cost of service. As one of the results from this latter step, the number of bus and postal centers will be doubled. Thus families in the area immediately tributary to these centers will be enabled to take full advantage of the parcel post as a means of transportation of farm products. "Rural service will be extended to every reasonably entitled to as rapidly as the new adjustments can be made." LENDS AUNT $5; NOW HEIR Youth Will Get Part of Large Estate Under Her Will. Logansport, Ind.—As a result of lending $5 to an aunt in Greeley, Col., A. B. Judson of this city has become heir to a part of a large estate left by the woman, who recently died. Attorneys notified him that he had been named the wife of his new owner in Greeley to claim his part of the estate. Judson had not heard from his aunt for several years until an age ago, when he received a letter from her requesting him to lend her $5. He compiled with her request and received a letter of thanks. He never heard from her again. Killed 17,071 Rats. Dallas, Tex. — A rat exterminating contest in Texas was won by a man who killed 17,071 rats. Defective Page RING in the FOURTH Maine, from her farthest border, gives the first exulting shout, And from New Hampshire's granite mountains lays out; The mountain farms of stanch Vermont prolog the thundering call, And Massachusetts answers "Bunker Hill" —a watchword for us all. Rhododendron shakes her water wet, seals, acclimates to the sun. And staid Connecticut breaks forth in joyous harmony; The giant joy of proud New York, loud as an earthquake roar. Is heard from Hudson's crowded banks to Erie's crowded shore. Still on the booming volley rolls, o'er plains and flowery glades, the storm's flippop the tur- bid gulv invades. There, borne from many a mighty stream upon her mightier tide. Come from the long huzzas from all that valley wide. And wood crowned Allegheny's call, from all her summits high. Reverberates among the rocks that piece the whimsy splash. The shores and through the swales, round the vast inland seas. The water's creem'n songs are flashing to the breeze. The woodman from the mother takes his boy upon his knee And tells him how their fathers fought and bled for liberty. and bled for liberty. The horse site him down the forest. The spring, bred, best. To think upon his country's worth and feel his country's pride. While many a foreign accent which our God can understand is brittle for home and bread in this free life for her; Yes; when upon the eastern coast we Yes; when upon the eastern coast we sink to happy rest The day of independence rolls still on-ward to the west Till dies on the Pacific shore the shout of jubilee That woke the morning with its voice along the Atlantic sea. O Grace look down upon the land which the treasury shall sell to the And grant that in unbroken truth her children still may dwell. Nor while the grass grows on the hill and streams flow through the vale May they forget their fathers' faith or in their covenant fall; Keep the fairest, noblest land that lends her "Our country, our whole country, and our country ever one." THE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE DAY. THE spirit of the nation is at the highest. Its triumph over the inborn, inbred perils of the constitution has chased away all fears, justified all hopes, and with universal joy we greet this day. We have not proved unworthy of a great ancestry. We had the virtue to uphold what they so wisely, so firmly established. With these proud possessions of the past, with powers matured, with principles settled, with habits formed, the nation passes, as it were, from preparatory growth to responsible development of character and the steady performance of duty. What ablaws await it, what trials shall attend it, what trumpets for human nature, what glory for itself are prepared for this people in the century we may not assume to foretell. "One generation pass away and another generation cometh, but the earth abldeth forever," and we reverently hope that these our constituted liberties shall be maintained to the unending line of our posterity and so long as the earth itself endure. In the great procession of nations, in the great march of humanity, we hold our place. Peace is our duty; peace is our policy. In its arts, its labors and its victories, then, we and scope for all our energies, rewards for all our ambitions, renown enough for all our love of fame.—William M. Ewarts. China the Birthplace of Fireworks, The trick of pyrotechny, along with the formula for gunpowder, was brought to Europe from China and the far east about the thirteenth century, ever since then specialists equipped with all the resources of chemistry have devoted themselves to this brilliant and fascinating scenic art until now the pyrotechnics' skill amazes and enraptures the spectacle loving populace in every civilized country. TESTS NEW GAS BOMB. American Inventor Tries Out His Chemical Solution Chemicals on Condemned Cattle. Chicago—a Series of exhaustive experiments are being conducted at Fort Sheridan, under the supervision of United States army officers, with the chemical bomb recently invented by Dr. Fowler. Condemned cattle are the subjects of Dr. Fowler declares their death will be inhumane. A representative of the department conferred with Dr. Fowler, and it developed that government chemists have been working for a year to perfect a bomb almost identical with Dr. Fowler's. "I would not be afraid to tell any one everything used in the bomb," said Dr. Fowler, "and defy production of the bomb. The manufacturing process is the secret. I am glad the United States government is investigating my bomb. This country can have it for a title of what it would cost any foreign nation. "My bomb will accomplish more toward eliminating war than your pleas for peace. When science succeeds in making war so deadly that men will recolon from it in horror then peace will make gigantic strides." While Dr. Fowler's claim pertains only to the chemical properties of the bomb, the method of loading and shooting it from a cannon is something which he expects will require considerable experiment. This problem, however, seems to have already been solved by the government. The containers and a thin steel casing have been perfected. Suffers Greatly In Commercial Way Since Beginning of War. Washington.-The war to date has cost France more than $1,143,000,000 of her foreign trade, according to figures sent to the department of commerce by United States Consul General A. M. Thackara at Paris. Of this vast amount over $500,000,000 was sacrificed in the first four months of the conflict, up to Jan. 1, 1915. in that period the republic also was deprived of 900,000 tons of wheat grown on her own soil and seized by the German armies occupying her northern provinces. There was, too, a decrease in that time of 6,162 in the number of ships arriving at and 5,196 in the number of ships departing from French ports. In the first three months of 1915 the loss in France's foreign trade was nearly $344,000,000, being $411,200,000 as against $755,000,000 in the same period in 1914. The imports since the first of this year have been $286,000,000 as against $442,300,000 and the exports have been $125,100,000 as compared with $312,600,000. The imports of foods fell off $3,500,000, those of industrial materials $150,000,000, while those of manufactures, mostly war munitions, increased over $7,000,000. The exports of food products decreased nearly $7,000,000, those of industrial materials over $4,000,000 and food products $100,000,000. The imports into France in 1914 to-tailed $125,297,000 as against $351,377,000 in 1913 and the exports from France in 1914 were $631,131,000 as compared with $1,327,828,000 in 1913, a decrease of $396,751,000. The crushing extent of the blow dealt by the war is shown by the fact that in the first six months of 1914, before hostilities, France's foreign trade increased $33,391,000. The tendency of the war toward economic exhaustion is indicated by the fact that the decrease in imports and exports was almost entirely in material for the industries and in manufacture. The United Kingdom suffered less than any other nation by reason of the decrease in French trade, and the United States came next. The British trade was almost entirely destroyed through the occupancy of that kingdom by the German armies. The shipments from Belgium to France in 1914, before the war, were valued at $00-405,000. while the shipments after the war began, up to Jan. 1, 1915, were only $677,000.

HABIT SAVES MAN'S LIFE. When He Heard "Right" Would Be Suicide Changed Aim. Los Angeles, Cal - Habit saved George Lee. forty-five, recently when he plotted against his life. He placed the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth, put his mind in order for the end and was pulling the trigger when he heard some one call "Right" It was a word used more frequently than any other in his work in a downtown grocery. There Lee was accustomed to carry packages across a long room. Several persons were similarly occupied, and when they would meet, going in opposite directions, the one with a load on his shoulder would always cry "Right". The right hand of the other would go up in signal that he would observe the rules of the meeting, for the contents of the boxes were fragile and any interference might cause a loss that would be deducted from their wages. The his finger was drawing at the trigger, outside came the clear call "Right" voiced by chance in the conversation of passivity. From habit Lee's right hand started to lift in signal, the trigger, and the shell exploded, but the minor twitch that had come when he heard the word of warning switched the aim so that the bullet left a harmless wound in his cheek. Persons who heard the shot rushed to the room and took Lee off to the receiving hospital, where his wound was dressed and his spirits revived by the promise that a job would be given him. VILLAGES IN EUROPE ARE RUN BY WOMEN VILLAGES IN EUROPE ARE RUN BY WOMEN London.-Owing to the war women are taking up many odd callings to make up for the shortage of men, but in the country women have always done whatever lies nearest to their hand. In the village the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, may all be women; in at heart one small town in Devon for the chief business element. The principal hotel is run by a woman and her daughter; a woman defy cuts the joints and orders her son about. A bakeress bakes the finest bread, and her daughter trudges far into the country with two baskets slung on her back, a picturequeque figure of the female worker. The wine merchant is a woman who worked up a nice little business, a chemist's shop is a woman, to say nothing of the trades which are to be found everywhere, sweetsmuff shops, fancy shops and the like. France, being a country where universal service is the rule, is nowadays depending largely on the work of women, but even in the times of peace there were places where they were the chief citizens. At Frostley, in the department of Osse, most of the public appointments are held by women and will be until their present holders die. There is a postmistress instead of a postmaster; the telegraph department is by a woman; a station mistress directs the local station; a lady barber cuts their the community, and the town crier also cuts "ress" on to the name of her calling. In most cases these posts were held by husbands or brothers, and the villagers considered their female relatives were their legitimate successors. This is also partly the case in the English town mentioned, although in some cases daughters have succeeded mothers to the general satisfaction. Another French community is also directed by women, not by chance, but by custom and necessity. This is the rocky island of Ushant, dreaded by sailors, which breeds a hardy race of seamen engaged either in the French navy or mercantile marine or in fishing, the work on land being done by women. In Russia a community of seven villages with long names is entirely ruled by women. Each village may be a mayoress, and the office of magistrate and policeman and postmaster, in fact, every administrative post—were led by the gender sex. Some fifty years ago a bad epidemic occurred, and the men made such a muddle of affairs and behaved so badly that the women took over the government to save themselves from starvation. So successful were they that they have continued to direct affairs ever since. BLIND WINDOW CLEANER "Earn His Living." Says Owner of Hotel. Belolt, Wls.-Totally blind as a result of a railroad accident near Milwaukee seven years ago, John Gibson forty-eight years old, is earning his living by scrubbing floors and washing windows at the Transient hotel in Belolt. The proprietor of the place says Gibson is earning his living as well as any full sighted porter he ever had. The man does this cleaning work entitlement because of touch and a system of mental measurements and calculations. There is nothing in his work to denote disability. "Seven years ago," Mr. Gibson said. "I was working on a railroad near Milwaukee when an explosion occurred in some blasting powder. When I left the hospital I was totally blind." $2.40 PER YEAR. WOMEN'S PART IN INDEPENDENCE DAY WOMEN'S PART IN INDEPENDENCE DAY They Had Glorious Share In Winning American Liberty. It has been said that in every woman's breast there lies the possibility of great heroism. What she can do when put to the test is amply illustrated by the events of history, not alone in our own country, but in all others. Anecdotes of women of the Revolution, showing what they did and what they suffered in so doing, happy in the thought that they were serving the country they loved, are positively thrilling. One wonders how many young women of today would offer themselves to carry a message from one army to another across a country fairly brittle with hostile troops when not a man could be found untrepid enough to take a letter from General Greene to General Sumter. Emily Greely, a frail young girl, undertook the task and set out in her headphones on a sideside. She was intercepted on the second day of her journey by Lord Ridgdon, who had her locked up until a Tory matron could be found to search her person. By this unusual consideration Lord Ridawdon lost his coveted information, for as soon as his back was turned she ate the letter, by bit by bit. When eventually released she succeeded in reaching her destination, where she was to give her message orally, if not true military and documentary style. The success of Greene's army later joined Greene's army. Family later married a wealthy planter. The fascinations of women have seldom been used to better advantage than upon a certain afternoon shortly after the retreat from New York, when ONE OF COLUMBIA'S DAUGHTERS. a troop of British soldiers were detained at the house of a Mrs. Murray, who gave them cake and wine and such sprightly talk that they remained two hours—just long enough to allow General Putnam, the last to leave the city, to make retreat across the dangerous highroad on which the Brits were loitering. Think of the ex-merchant who was killed when she realized that by her subterfuge she had saved a part of the American army! There is no doubt that we owe our present wealth and ease to the courage and resourcefulness of the early American woman quite as much as to the efforts of the men. She was the mother of those great men whose intellects were the backbone of the American nation. It was her sacrifice that enabled it to make possible them to be what they are her eternal panegry; their works the undying proclamation of her power. FROM A JULY 4 SPEECH BY PRESIDENT WILSON Every patriotic American is a man who is not niglig难 and selfish in the things he needs that make for human liberty and the rights of man, but wants to share it with the whole world. And he is never so proud of the great flag as when it means for other people as well as himself the symbol of liberty and freedom. I would be ashamed of this fact, disgusting outside of America that we would miss it to do inside of America. We stand for the mass of the men, women and children who make up the vitality of every nation. The world is becoming more complicated every day. Therefore no man ought to be foolish enough to think he understands it, and that is the reason why I am so glad to know there are many things in the world. One of those things is the principle: Honesty is a perfectly simple thing—Woodrow Wilson. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ST.

United States Senator John Sharp Williams has been proclaimed "Mississippi's most distinguished statesman" by a committee appointed by Gov. Brewer of that state at the request of the president of the Panama Pacific Exposition. Williams' stock in trade is abuse of his colored fellow citizens who constitute about one-half of the population of Mississippi. The committee did well to select John Sharp Williams, because he is a true exponent of the Mississippi idea. It may be a surprise to many people to learn that when racial questions were discussed in Congress, Williams was more vehement and vitriolic in his denunciation of one-half the people of his state than that other Mississippi saint, James K. Vardaman. Northern people had conceived the idea that "Jlmkay" was the champion negrophobist of Mississippi, but he couldn't fool the committee of distinguished white citizens of that more of less grand commonwealth. "In Georgia—a supposedly civilized state—a Negro, SUSPECTED of stealing a ham from a smoke house, and lodged in jail awaiting trial, was taken from the jail by white men—they must have been men, beasts would never have been so deprived—and shot to death. This, in the United States, in the year of grace 1915. The long suffering of the Negro race is among the wonders of history. Will this patience, under injustice, outrage, violation of rights last forever?" The above is an editorial that appears in the July number of "Our Dumb Animals," published at Boston, Mass. "GRANDFATHER LAW. DECISION."

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. stricting 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 1866 or 1876 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." John B. Anderson, William H. Howard and Robert Brown, colored, of Annapolis, were responsible for the test case. 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 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. THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma scientious discharge to stand alone; the ant, intolerant juce demn, the counten may be averted, a friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w ances of relatives I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. e when we should wards out of men. is climbed on pro- been raised against o and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. o must speak and right the wrongs of or Wilcox. 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. TOO EARLY TO THROW UP HATS. The colored people of the country should not get excited over the "Grand father Clause" decision of the Supreme Court.The millenium 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 voter is not qualified no matter how intelligent he is. Already in Oklahoma immediate legislative action is advocated by the leading Democratic papers and politicians to correct the "evil." The colored man has not yet gotten back to the ballot, but he's on his way. JAPANESE OUTWIT CHRISTIANS. The wily Japanese have "pur 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 shinofilm, 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 introduction of Christianity would mean the crushing of the yellow man, have de- n who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- dgment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- termined 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. More than two hundred colored men 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 AP-EALH has it on reliable authority that such it 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 PHILANTHROPIST'S (7) 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. Pfalzeer, 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? "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." The colored people all over the country have been fighting the mis- chievous 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: Chicago (Editor of The Tribune.)—Speaking of the photoplay called "The Birth of a Nation," you say: 'It is in all essential epheles grounded on historical fact, recognizing 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 carnethagers 'What happened with the Negro ascendant and how the white re-established 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 governments of the south was taken over by the newly enfranchised blacks controlled by the northern carpetaggers. 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 25 per cent of the white men of that section—men who did not to the manner born, many of them ex-Confederate soldiers, identified themselves with and became leaders of the Republican party. These, in the meantime, 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 had since. There never was a time when these states actual physical "Negro domination," or even carpet-bagging domination, in any one of the reconstructed states. The play to which you refer, instead of being "grounded on historical facts", is 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 depicted imagination, with a false and depicted background as a basis upon which to understand. Sun 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 alleged scenes are pure fabrications of a single background of truth to support the production can hardly be less than cruel, the main they are false, slanderous, 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 much harm may result from them. It is therefore, the duty of the authorities, not just as they would suppress any other crime 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 commercialize race prejudice simply because the dollars and cents they can make out of it. The second class is composed of those who 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 circle of people in anything they say or produce elsewhere to this matter. But what difference 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 man in an object political subjection and upon which the average white man at the north 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 the agro domination. "just so long will this be true," he says. Let us hope that the eyes of the people eventually be opened and that justice and fair play for all will be the accepted rule of action in all parts of our country. JOHN R. LYNCH, Author of "The Facts of Reconstruction." Embitters All but Docile Negro. (From-the Savannah Tribute.) In many of the Southern States, years ago, colored troops were allowed and maintained. One by one these states disbanded the colored troops. As was better organized than any of the other states, was the last to disband the colored troops in event of war, especially of any duration, colored man will be badly needed, but has he been trained or has he been encouraged to take up arms to fight in defense of his country? He has been proscribed and debarred of many privileges that are justly his and which would embitter any other race but the docile Negro. (From the Reformer, Richmond, Va.)

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 impossible. They simply can not discuss racefeeling 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 inclement among us in these matters, and cruel barbartiles frequent enough, to keep us busy reforming ourselves. Billy Sunday speaks out emphatically, acrobatically and ungrammatically against almost every wrong in the other sex except our prejudice. If he wants, show that we are brave man, not afraid to tackle anything, and do some good where it is most needed, let him speak out against race prejudice. SAINT PAUL Some invalids seek every tonic save work. Nobody loves a fat man with a lean pocketbook. A man seldom does what his wife expects him to do. Mrs. W. R.

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, 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.
