This was the assertion made recently at the Winona Bible Conference by the Rev. S. B. Robold a Christian Jew of Toronto who has lived in Palestine for eighteen years "It would be suicide for England to give Palestine to the Jews to establish a nation," said Dr Robold. "It must please 100,000,000 Mohammedans, to whom Palestine is sacred. "The Jews will receive no benefit from the war, no matter who wins. If Russia loses it will need a scapegoat and it will be the Jews. Russia will say that the Jews betrayed it. Likewise if Germany loses the Jews will be blamed. "This war means the exile of the Jews. It is a striking coincidence that on Aug. 1, 1914, the Jewish ninth of A B., when war was declared by Germany to the British ambassador, Sir E. Gosen, a Jew, the anniversary of the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar and the exile of the Jews, and the anniversary of the exile of the Jews by Titus, were observed. History repeats itself." Dr. Robold said the Jew is not wanted anywhere, but is playing the most amazing role in all nations at war with each other.

"In England there are five Jews in the cabinet, five Jewish lords, six privy councilors, sixteen barons, fourteen knights, eighteen members of parliament and Lord Reading, the lord chief justice of England, was one time plain Rufus Isaacs. "Herr Ballin in Germany, a Jew, has charge of the transportation of all troops, and leaders in the reichstag are Jews." He said the Russian Jews cannot be transplanted, that the colonization schemes have failed. "Philanthropists have spent one thousand million dollars in their efforts to transplant Jews from Russia into Palestine, the United States and other countries," he said. "A short time ago they checked up after having transplanted 3,000,000 Jews in thirty years, and discovered there were at present 800,000 more Jews in Russia than when they started. "The Russian Jews must find their salvation in Russia." NO COLOR LINE IN ARMY. Col. John R. Marshall, retired, late colonel Eighth infantry Illinois national guard, made formal application for admittance to the civilian camp which the federal government has ordered for Fort Sheridan, beginning September 20. As usual the Chicago Tribune sought at once to stir up the color question with big headlines about "NEGRO COLONEL" and endeavored to show that it was against the policy of the government to have "negro officers" etcetra ad nauseam. When the matter was called to the attention of Col. D. A. Frederick head of the central army division, the man to whom falls the duty of making the arrangements for the camp, he said: "I regret sincerely that the color question has been raised, but since it has been raised, I may as well settle it once for all. "The army draws no color line. This is a camp for business and professional men and they will be admitted whether colored or not. We have colored men in the state militia, in the army, in business and in the professions, and the applications of colored men will receive the same attention as those of any one else." The Tribune should have called Colonel Marshall a colored man and not a 'negro' for he is as fair as a lily, has blue eyes and hair of a fiery red. If a person who was not acquainted with the colonel were sent to pick him out from the soldiers at the camp, the chances are a thousand to one that he would select a Jew or an Italian or some other dark skinned man instead of the fair colonel. MANY JEWISH ENEMIES The fact that three Jews have bought the rights for the state of Massachusetts for the production of "The Birth of the Nation," the infamous and false film and that Jewish capitalists are exploiting the photo-play all over the country should cause the colored people to see that many of their most bitter enemies are Jews. A Jewish attorney general was responsible for the Maryland dischernment law recently declared unconstitutional. A Jewish Senator and a Jewish Congressman have become notorious because of their tirades against the race. In many localities Jews aided the passage of the segregation laws. A Jew worth many millions is giving thousands of dollars to aid in the establishment of jimcrow Y. M. C.

Christians in their efforts to segregate their believers of darker hue. All this is queer work for a people who have been oppressed for thousands of years and who are still massacred in many parts of Europe. All Jews are not enemies of the colored people but those who have power and money seem to take a special delight in swiping the colored man and also—gathering in the coin. THAT RICHMOND FAIR. 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 have we 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. 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 and kowtow before his "white frens" and he got the coin. It is not strange that he arranged a "white folks day" as the great event of his todo. Let us hear no more of the appropriation of public money for jimcrow affairs. n. who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- dgment, may con- nances relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- THE COLORED MAN'S STANDARDS. 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 men 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 erable; 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 qualities; they are too easily satisfied with attainment which is distinctly second-rate in the world's Bradstreet. 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 pitted 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 of 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-attalgment, 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." NOT NEEDED 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 fountain 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 jimcrowists 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—they give the south credit for the decision and slop over 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 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 dive. NOTED SPEED KINGS OF WORLD AT FAIR Famous Woman Driver to Pit Skill Against Field. The speed kings of the world, intent upon winning the big prizes offered for world's records and victories in special events, will gather from all corners of the world, September 11, to compete in the big auto racing program at the Minnesota State Fair. One of the biggest programs ever held in the Northwest is assured. The feature of them all will be Joan Newton Cunio of New York, champion woman auto race driver of the world. The sensational victories of this fearless woman over such well known drivers as Ralph De Palma, Bob Burman, and many others, caused the American Automobile Association to bar woman drivers from any races sanctioned by it. In this way was acknowledgment paid to her prowess at the steering wheel of a racing machine. She will try for world's records, and compete in many of the races. Many Drivers Entered. Many drivers of international reputation have entered the state fair race card. Louis Disbrow, holder of more world's dirt track records than any other driver, will race in his Simplex Zip and Blitzen Benz 300-horsepower machines. Tom Alley, holder of the world's 100-mile dirt track record, made at the Minnesota State MRS. CUNIO AT WHEEL. Fair, will appear as a defender of his record, Ralph Mulford, holder of the 200-mile world's dirt track record, is another entry that has been promised. "Wild Bill" Endicott and Eddie Hearne, drivers in more races than any other, with the possible exception of Barney Oldfield, will appear with special racing creations. Johnny Rainey, the dare-devil driver who has plunged through the fence four times in his career, will pit his skill against the field. Tommy Milton and Fred Horey, Minnesota boys who have won a high standing in the racing game, are entered. Lee Gunning and Joe Bianchi, appearing in the Northwest for the first time, are coming. Bianchi is the idol of Italian racing devotees. Feature Race. The feature race will be a one-hour free-for-all race for a large purse, competed in by all drivers entered. Trials for world's records and several other special speed events are also scheduled. The motorcycle card will bring together many of the world's record drivers. BIG PROGRAM FOR WOMEN Minnesota State Fair Presents Dozens of Features. The most varied program for women ever given at the Minnesota State Fair will be offered, Sept. 6 to 11. Whether she be a city or a country woman satisfaction is certain to be expressed by the state fair visitor this year. A program in which some of the greatest speakers on women's problems in this country will take part will be held on every day of the week, with the exception of Thursday. It will be held in the Hall of Fame. A score of different questions will be discussed. Big Premium List A liberal premium list has been set aside for cooking, sewing, needle work, and other work of women. One quarter of the Woman's building will be occupied by a pretentious child welfare exhibit, in which the Froebel and Montessori kindergarten systems will be explained, play equipment for children shown, and other things of interest exhibited. The Baby Show in the center of the Woman's building will prove a never ending source of interest to mothers. Here in a great glass cage the contestants will receive their physical examinations free. The show is intended to show parents how imperfections in development may be looked for and overcome. Contests for Kids The children's spelling contest for the state championship; the girls bread making contest; the pig contest for boys and girls; the big display of school exhibits; Rest Cottage, with its cool porches and restful rockers; Machinery Hill, with its hundreds of exhibits of modern equipment for upodate homes—these and many other things will interest the women. No woman can afford to miss the great Minnesota State Fair this year. He Is A Real Man. 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 known that Mr. Dabney is in an official position. Men of that sort are generally as mum as a claim, but this is not so in the case of Mr. Dabney. He is a man. Some invalids seek every tonic save work. MRS. MARY B.

A Entry List for Four Breeds Exceeds All Former Records. The largest entry list ever received by any State Fair cattle show in America has been obtained by the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to 11, insuring one of the greatest exhibits ever held anywhere. A stupendous effort is being exorted to care for the large number of animals expected. Previous entry records have been broken for Short Horn, Hereford, Red Polled, and Ayrshire cattle. The Jersey show is far larger than the one of a year ago. Other breeds barely fall below previous marks. In all it will be the largest combined showing of beef and dairy cattle ever held anywhere. Over 1,100 animals have been entered. No doubt the remarkable success of the cattle show this year is due to the interest which breeders are taking in the great public livestock market, which it is the desire of the fair to promote. Breeders have been urged to attend the Minnesota State Fair, because of the opportunity afforded of selling surplus stock to farmers in the Northwest. Farmers have been urged to attend the fair to buy this pure-bred stock to be used in grading up home herds. The Horse Show is to be remarkably successful this year, for the same reasons. Nearly twice as many local breeders have entered horses at --- --- Big Livestock Market. the Minnesota fair as formerly. In addition there have been large entries from all parts of the country, and the leading draft breeds will make an excellent showing. Swine and Sheep. The Swine and Sheep Shows will both break nearly all previous records. The pig-club contest, in which fully fifty pigs will be shown, and the Poland-China Futurity, in which twenty-three herds will be exhibited, are principal reasons for the greater number of hogs. All space in the sheep barns has been disposed of. PARCEL POST EXPLAINED Large Exhibit to Be Shown at Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to 11. Of what importance is the parcel post to the farmer and the city person? Though it may be important how can anyone take advantage of it? Such are some of the perplexing questions which will be solved by a large parcel post exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 6 to 11, which has just been arranged by the Twin City postoffice departments. It is to be placed in the Agricultural building in a very prominent place. Principal emphasis will be placed upon the producer's problems. All kinds of retainers for fruit, eggs, dressed poultry, butter and other farm products will be shown. A specialist in charge will answer any questions asked, and explain to anyone how the parcel post may be taken advantage of. PROGRAM. Swine and Sheep. ```markdown ``` ST.

Wearing the Big Show, "September Morning Glories" to be presented by the Weingarten Amusement Co., the week of Aug. 29 at the Star Theatre, could pass muster on previous laurels, but is adding to its prestige this season rather than living on past glory. Mr. Weingarten has not only added more people to his already large organization but he has placed people in the cast, any of which would be a worthy recommendation to any burlesque company on the road. There is also a new musical comedy with a farcical plot entitled "A Topsy Topsy Honeymoon," to exploit this aggregation of talent. The piece fairly bubbles up with humor, and staged, as it is, under the personal direction of Mr. Weingarten, the dance and song numbers are guaranteed to be above par, and for good measure Mr. Weingarten is arranged what he terms "A Big Revue of the Stage Celebrities" in which every principal of the company is required to portray one of the leading lights on the American Stage. To those who recall Bert Bertrand, the mere mention of his name invites laughter. He is again with the Weingarten show and is funnier and more clever than ever; and equally laughable in his boisterous way. Pat Daly in the this great pair of laughter makers is that imittable fellow, Billy Warner. Mr. Warden has been usually fortunate this season. Heading the feminine contigent this year is Bulah Benton, the highest paid prima donna in Burlesque, together with Chubby Weston, Ethel Reynolds, Pauline Harice and several others. THE BROADWAY BENJAMIN DAY. On Tuesday of last week, Mr. Benjamin Day, one of the old timers, a well known and generally respected citizen, passed into the great beyond.

PAUL RUG AND RAG CARPET FACTORY LUDWIG STOPPEL, Prop. We make Kugs from Ingrain and Brussels Carpets, Silk Curtain and Rag Carpet Weaving. Professor Charles Frederick Chandler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, declares that beer is the best brain food. In a recent address he said: "Beer is a beverage prepared from barley, water, hops and beer is food. American beer contains 10 percent alcohol, beer only 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and lecithin, which is real brain food, Beer and bread both made from cereals; bread with water and is solid; beer with more water and is liquid. Yeast converts both into palatable and digested food. Both contain alcohol, intoxicating in ordinary quantities and not of the foods that is free from bacteria. It is appetizing and alds digestion. I don't believe there is any beer made in the United States that is what you call adulterated. It may be misbranded, but not adulterated. If beer is the beer from the household they will do not part of the population of a wholesome article of food." 285 W. 7th ST. - ST. PAUL, MINN N. W. DALE 3454 T.

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 largest attendance ever obtained is 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.

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.
