Entered as second class matter June 4, 1898 at the postoffice at St. Paul Minn., under act of Congress, March 8, 1898. SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1915. Under the above heading the Star of Norfolk, Va., prints the following: Today ends the existence of one of the greatest farces that has ever been inflicted upon the people of this section of the country. Sometime ago the congress of the United States appropriated the sum of fifty-five thousand dollars to assist in celebrating the fiftieth year of the Negro's freedom in this land, and that money was entrusted to Giles B. Jackson and some other men, whom we have never heard mentioned, for the consummation of the result named; but never in all our experience and observations we have seen a more miserable failure in projecting such an affair. The Richmond people who usually make a success of any undertaking, in which any of the citizens of the progressive city is interestd did not take the trouble to lose any of their time, in giving the concern the least consideration. The celebration was held in the grounds of the State Fair Association, therefore there was no necessity for the expenditure of any money for buildings or improvements and while there were a few things of interest on exhibition, there were so few that they were not of sufficient interest to command the attention of even the local people, let alone the people from other parts of Virginia or the country in general. THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test. Had no voice in injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide on The few who dare speak again to right many.—Ella Wheeler To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. At no time during the existence of the exposition, were there more than a few—a very few—people in attendance. The more one inquired the cause of the terrible frost, the more you were met with the answer, the affair was entirely a one-man concern, and that since the success, if any success, would be credited to Col. Giles B. Jackson, the more determined was the public to show that the failure should be attributed to the same source. That the affair was most miserably advertised and more miserably managed goes without saying, and since it was in the hands of one man, the Negroes of Richmond, of the State of Virginia and the entire country, have no regrets at its failure." THE APPEAL has always opposed the appropriation of funds for jimcrow affairs of any kind. The appropriation of $55,000 by the United States was class legislation, a thing which the colored people ought to avoid even if it seems to favor them. The colored man has no right to any special consideration and if he gets a few thousands in cash he must pay by losing some right. Jimcrow appropriations are dangerous things. The appropriation was given to Giles Jackson because he is of the ante-bellum type so loved by the South. He knew how to bow andkowtow before his "white frenz" and he got the coin. It is not strange that he arranged a "white fokes day" as the great event of his todo. Let us hear no more of the appropriation of public money for jimcrow affairs. THE COLORED MAN'S STAND ARDS. The Christian Register, the leading Unitarian publication of the country, prints so excellent an article on colored man's own standards that we are constrained to print extracts from it. "White man have set standards for the colored man for many years. During slavery days the standard was mainly one of health and strength, a "good disposition" was also esirable; a "bad nigger" was harder to sell than one who would make no trouble. Taken altogether the standard of antebellum days for colored men was much the same as that for horses, "warranted sound and kind," and all the rest. During the war, with the splendid record of black men as soldiers, the standard held up for them by the white man shifted, though only slightly. After the war, and after the Fifteenth Amendment began to operate, the white man gradually altered his expectation of what the black could be and ought to be. Whites differ greatly to-day, both North and South, upon this question; as a rule, the more civilized the white man, the readier he is, in judging the colored man, to see his great possibilities and his remarkable progress, as already shown. The subtler problem, and more vital to the colored; people, is regarding the race's standards for itself in the various arts of civilization. And his most serious obstacle is—not the injustice of his white neighbors, evident and regrettable as that is, but the danger he continuously incurs of holding up low standards of attainment for himself. If he is to compete with the white man in business, manufactures, arts, scholarship, and other pursuits, he must hold himself up to as high a standard of excellence as does the white man. As a rule, colored people do not quite come up to this; they have the faults of their THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma scientious discharge to stand alone; the ant, intolerant juce demn, the countem may be averted, a friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. ce when we should wards out of men. s 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. qualities; they are too easily satisfied with attainment which is distinctly second-rate in the world's Braistreet. The colored musician, or painter, or artisan, or writer is too apt to measure himself by the many people below him in skill instead of keeping his eye fixed on the few who surpass him. For this reason it is good for a colored boy or girl to attend a school or college which white boys and girls attend. Well-meaning friends of the colored people have pitched such pupils of mixed schools and academies because of the many slights put upon them by careless or unfeeling white schoolmates; but people who see more deeply into the real problems or the colored race believe that it is better for such affronted young people to undergo the affronts and to remain in the keen atmosphere of white standards of custom, costume, and scholarship than to live in a mild atmosphere of half-attainment, among brothers and sisters of their own race, all alike half blindly groping their slow way out of the darkness. Better that a colored boy should bear whatever slights are put upon him by certain narrow, selfish, white boys at Yale or Harvard than to drift comfortably along in some Negro school which has not got itself as yet squared to the world standards, in a world where white men rule." THE APPEAL is opposed to the plan of the Southwestern Christian Advocate to have a socalled vigilance committee at Washington. It is not necessary, as work of a similar character has been accomplished as a business proposition by the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People for the past two years and inimical legislation prevented. The colored people are not a "voteless" people. In the North they have voted for years and are still voting. The United States Supreme Court has just decided that there is to be no color line in voting in the future, so it is up to the colored people of the South to guard their rights at the foundation head. We feel that we are able to do it in Minnesota. A lobby in Washington would soon degenerate into a political machine, and as it is likely that some jim-crowists would be on the committee it is possible that a committee kept up for the purpose of guarding the rights of the people would actually betray them. It is a dangerous proposition. NO CREDIT DUE SOUTH It is sickening to read some of the slush written by colored men anent the recent Grandfather Clause decision—the they give the south credit for the decision and slop in their praise of the "Southern Christian Justices." As a matter of fact only three of the nine justices are southern men; the other six being of northern birth. The south deserves no credit whatever. The case was so clear that even the southern justices did not care to risk their names going down in history with the opprobrium which attached to Justice Taney in the Dred Scott decision. There is no reason why the south should be lauded except the bootlickers would be unhappy unless they were busy. The chief feature of the Independence day celebration at Washington this year was the launching of a cru n who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- gment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- NOT NEEDED. sade to eliminate the hyphen from Americanism. A great mass meeting was held at the foot of the Washington monument. Commander John S. Moore, U. S. N. retired, presided. Mr. Moore said: "There has been much said and printed recently about hyphenated Americans. We are gathered here today to launch a crusade that is nation-wide, to make the celebration of Independence day and Americanization day go hand in hand for all time, and to wipe out forever the hyphen in American citizenship." In St. Paul and Minnesota hundreds of newly naturalized citizens and hundreds whose citizenship is of longer standing repeated the cath of allegiance and all over the country "Americanization" programs were carried out, the object being to bring all people of the United States into closer unity and a common understanding of American citizenship and American ideals. This is an opportunity time to call attention to the fact that there are more than 10,000,000 native Americans who for many years have been treated as-aliens because they are darker in complexion than the aliens who have become naturalized. The Supreme Court of the United States has recently decided that the efforts of the south to nullify their votes are null and void and that they are citizens indeed. The colored citizens are native Americans with several generations of American ancestors and there is absolutely no reason why they should be differentiated in any way from any other citizens, native or naturalized. It is well to erase the hyphen and the word "negro" as a racial name for colored Americans ought to blotted out at the same time, forever. MORATORIUM IN CHRISTIANITY A "moratorium in Christionity" promised by a writer in the Christliche Welt, a leading religious journal in Germany. The writer urges that "in a war of this character, where ruthlessness of an unparalleled type is displayed and where the very rudiments of Christianity are ignored, it would be wise, if Christianity is to be maintained, that it should not be preached or taught during the continuance of the war." "It is a mockery to ask men with bloodstained hearts to approach the table of the Lord." "War is a phenomenon which the church should not be able to bless. It is opposed to every essential of Christianity, and the sooner a moratorium for Christianity is declared the better. There should be no more church nonsense about the ennobling and purifying effects of war." In this country we know something of the mockery of religion when it reaches the color line. In the Southland it is a common thing for men "to approach the table of the Lord" after having engaged in mob murder. Every variety of outrage against the darker race is done in the name of the Lord. Men whose hearts are viler than the devil himself, talk about "uplifting the 'negro.'" The suggestion of the German writer is a good one and the Southern people in general and many in the North ought to put aside their mockery of Christ and declare a moratorium in Christianity until they are willing to practice the principles of Christianity by giving a square deal to their darker brethren—not in segregated "negro" missions and jimcrow Y. M. C. A.'s, but in the daily dealings of life. NOT SO PARTICULAR NOW. Charles M. Haft has been appointed one of the assistant corporation counsel in Chicago, by Mayor Thompson. Haft is the man who is said to have stirred up a row when a respectable colored man purchased the residence next door to him, and suggested that the colored people buy a tract of land in the suburbs and segregate themselves. Haft is something of a lawyer, his great trouble being race prejudice. He will now have to do business with three colored assistant counsel, a colored chief investigator and a number of other colored men who have been appointed to places in the same office with him, by Mayor Thompson. Haft has the opportunity to resign, segregate himself in his own private law office and thus avoid contact with the new colored appointees, but it is a good bet that the $6,000 salary loosens good to him and there is little danger that he'll turn it loose because he is surrounded by colored men, some holding places like his own. "SUCH PEOPLE STILL LIVE." "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. The Louisville News is making a great fight against segregation of residences and tells the colored citizens that they can help by refusing to be segregated in other walks of life. Segregation is wrong whether in a dive or a church and any church which practices it is no better than a THE NEW ABOBITION. The National association for the Advancement of Colored People came as a direct result of the Springfield riots of 1908. After several conferences it was organized and permanent headquarters opened in November 1910. It has been phenomenal. Today it has fifty branches throughout the country and 7,000 members and the crisis, edited by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has reached a circulation of over 35,000 The platform of the association is brief but uncompromising. The official statement contains among other thinks the following strong statement and demands: "The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the full enjoyment of their rights as social citizens in the courts and equality of opportunity everywhere, and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or prerogative, class or caste. It recognizes the national character of the race problem and no sectionalism. It belies the constitution of the United States and amendments, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of 'all men up and no man down.' It abhors Negro crime, but still more the conditions which breed crime and, most of all, the crimes committed by individuals, law or by individuals in the name of the people. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to peace and social content. It has no other desire than exact justice and no other desire than humanity. The proposed law for the advance of the colored people has been laid down by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois: "We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with a hard hat or by being willing to tull our sleeves and sense the sense of our indifference and the sense of our indifference. The American Negro demands equality—political equality—and he is never going to rest satisfied with anything less. He demands this in no spirit of greed and with no obsequious envy of the poor, and he absolute measure of self defense and the one that will assure to the darker races their ultimate survival on earth. "The colored people must have industrial freedom. Between the peasants and the south, the oppression of shrewd capitalism and the certain trade unions the colored laborer is the most exploited class in the country, giving more hard toll for less money than any other American voice in the conditions of his labor. "In social intercourse every effort is being made today from the president of the United States and the so called Church of Christ down to saloons and bootballs to segregate, strangle and kill the colored man so as to give him the power to chance to know and share civilization. "The colored man must have power—the power of men, the right to do, to knowledge, action, and to express that knowledge, action, and to express that knowledge. He must not simply be free from the political tyranny of white folk; he must have the right to vote and to rule over all the citizens to the extent he must have a foresight and ability. He must have a knowledge of industrial democracy which is building and the power to see to it that his children are not in the next generation trained to be the mud sills of society. He must have a social intercourse with his fellows." "There was a time in the atomic individualistic group when "social intercourse" meant merely calls and tea parties; today social intercourse, organizations, clubs, churches, excursions, hotels, it means, in short, life. Bar a bar group from methods of thinking, living and doing, is to bar them from the world and bid them create a world-it is to crucify them and taunt them with not being able to live." Dr. DuBois suggest five practical steps for action—first, economic cooperation; second, a revival of art and craft; third, education; fourth, education; fifth, organization "For the accomplishment of all these ends we must organize. Organization among us already has gone far, but it must go much further and higher. Our goal is to organize of ophlons, of time, of work and of money, but it is, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of gifts—freedom and efficiency. I thank you for your support. Our support this association comes from colored hands. A still larger proportion must come, and we must not only support, but control, this and similar organizations and hold them unwaverly to our objects, our aims and our ideals. "With such organizations and with all the progress that they can point to let us never be satisfied with more progress so long as we fall so far behind in our accomplishment of our desires. Remarkable are despised today by millions of people not because we suffer, but because we suffer like drunk, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces. To what other race could it happen on our team, to its greatest leaders here in New York, assembled thousands could congratulate his people because only fifty-two colored men and women have in one short year been hanged and shot and burned by mobs. If that can give 10.5 people satisfaction, in God's name what will it take to make them fight? "As for me and those that think with me, so long as one black man in the United States is illegally punished or unjustly treated or has the door of opportunity closed in his face we will not complain and protest again when we are us or not. We may not gain our ends. We may not in our days realize our ideals. But the program I lay before you is not only reasonable and just, but it is a program of peace and patience, and in laying it down I face the awful fact that in as all in the United States we peace and patience cannot win, then we must. In any case there can be no despair, there can be no surrender, there can be no defeat as long as a colored man draws a breath in America." Editor W. P. Dabney, of the Cincinnati Union, is busy day and night these days fighting segregation and all other forms of discrimination in the Queen City. This is noble in him, too, and especially so when it is on Mr. Dabney is in an official position. Men of that sort are generally as mum as a clam, but this is not so in the case of Mr. Dabney. He is a man. RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself evil thing in this present justice; none at all. I w the worst single thing in and holds together more abomination than any other world.

Independent WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO" Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the term "Why?" There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this term. What term? They realize that it is the most foolish act at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its increase only because our speakers are not so intelligent. Do Boil and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The aggrieved "aggrie" is not only absurdly insecure people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, in anything noble or uplifting. Most highbred men have been in Africa. b. In Africa and of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Gulaneas, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its advocates, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compound "Negroland," Negro-fy, Negro-monkey, are dead, in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you can favor the use of the masculine term. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing an unworthy or criminal man or woman speaks of the worthy. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence, making us off from the thought, sympathy and encouragement of the millions of colored Africans, Africans and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN M. WALLER, M. D Must Judge A Group by Its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston Mass.) No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the people who have many persons who live in the South. We think they know the colored race, with who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of race whom their Southern friends have known, and of the two sets of people who have known the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not know and appreciate; they know capability of race which contact with the best of the race which can be of the vious; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which they have their very acquaintance are blinded. If they know the colored race through the observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously able to themselves, they would revise their prejudices and possibly soften their prejudices, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are of any members of the dominant race in the South and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom). I am a human being. I do not propose to be cooped up or shut in in my love and criticism to mere geographical streaks or spots of people on a planet. This planet is small enough when, as is often the case, we consider the height and the starry height and depth—of the humane that wavers and glows through us with Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstoi and "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with ev Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is severe That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guilt Not colored like his ow To enforce the wrong My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.

He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Of One Blood Mollere! Though the cathedral quarrel together and sing praises with siege-guns to their own little foolish national souls, and rain bombs on each other's naves, I take my stand in their great bells ringing in their towers, of their poets overriding the years, of their songs and of their heroes, artists, the inventors, by the mothers and the little children. We are all in the same world. We are all alike, we will not say of any one man what we will not say of any/man what I will not say of myself. OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION. (From the Boston Guardian) That we much rather be, and associate among ourselves by saying by Colored Americans that they have almost true. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and inferior infearity. It is an utter impossibility for the two races to subdue to a common government, and, at the same time, to work out its own salvation. The "theory" been tried and resulted into a ghastly failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps and falls, and we heeded too long the advice from our leaders' serious leadership that resistance is wrong, that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and we have always will inevitably follow. We have always will faithfully and have been rewarded terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that our women our defense team at the mercy of white brutes—are less than white cars, and even legislating to extinguish further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from "non resistance" and "rather be by our resistance" and that with the same degree legislation with which our property is confiscated, with this same effronth and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress of legislation degrading and inimical to our property. Race prejudice, therefore, can only be done by attrition. We must send our children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and be accustomed to one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. Embitters All but Docile Negro In many of the Southern States, years ago, colored troops were allowed and maintained. One by one these states disbanded the colored troops. Georgia was better organized than any other state, and was the last to disband the colored troops. In event of war, especially of any color, the colored man will be badly needed, and has he been trained or has he been encouraged to take up arms to be in defense of his country? He has been trained and debarred of many privileges that are justly his and which would embitter any other race but the docile Negro.

Boys intent upon gaining stolen access into the Minnesota State Fair, September 6 to 11, will find the trick extremely difficult, as a new fence is being erected around a large part of the grounds. This is not liable to work much hardship upon them, however, as all children are to be admitted free on the opening day, when a record attendance is anticipated. The record attendance obtained on the first day was in 1912, when 792 persons, the largest daily attendance ever obtained by any fair in America, passed the turnstiles. THE CONTENANTAL LEADS Other Health and Accident Companies Follow. You know what it means when somebody tells you, that this, that or the other health and accident policy is "as good as the Continental Casualty Company's"—it may be you feel like arguing the matter but—there's never any doubt about the Continental Casualty Company's policy. It was the first company to write complete protection policies, the first to employ colored agents, and has kept pace with progress of the country; it is the largest of all health and accident companies and is the only one that operates in every state in the union. During the year 1914 the Continental collected, approximately, twice the amount of premiums, in the State of Minnesota, as its nearest competitor, and paid out in claims more money than any other company collected in premiums. This large volume of business enables the Continental Casualty Company to give its policy holders a little better protection for a little less money than any of its competitors.

Open to Everyone, Whether Patrons of the Offices, or Not. Postmaster General Burleson has issued a circular stating that every person in the United States ten years old or over may open an account in a postal savings bank after July 1st. One does not have to live where the postoffice is, but may open an account by mail. Postal receipts have broken all previous records the past year. Dumping eight months prior to April 1st there is a gain in deposits of $19,000,000. The St. Paul bank was organized Sept. 1, 1911, and up to the present time has received in deposits $2,505,086. During this same period the withdrawals have amounted to $1,760,890, leaving a credit to the depositors May 1st, of $744,196. Interest to the amount of $15,618.50 has already been paid to depositors and $97,580 worth of United States government bonds. The St. Paul Bank has 5,093 open accounts subject to withdrawal, with accrued interest at a moment's notice. Our institution is ranked among the four highest in the country in amount of money and the depositors are of every nationality. Postmaster Raths says he hopes to bring the deposits up to $1,000,000 during the coming year. Repairing Old Pianos. W. J. Dyer & Bro. are doing some of the finest work in the country in repairing and re-finishing old planes. The original beauty of tone is fully restored and the planes come out of their shop with re-finished cases looking like new. Charges are reasonable, but the cost to have your plan made like new by asking them to make an estimate, for which there is no charge. If we noticed little pleasures, As we notice little pains, If we quite forgot our losses, And remembered all our gains, If we looked for people's virtues, And their faults refused to see, What a pleasant, cheerful, Happy place this world would be.
