INCREASE CADETS WEST POINT PLAN MAY DOUBLE SIZE OF CORPS In Event Congress Authorizes That Increase It Should Appropriate $1,900,000, Colonel Townsley Believes. Would Bring Into Army 300 West Pointers Every Year. West Point, N. Y.-That a serious effort will be made in the next congress to increase the number of cadets at the Military academy here to 1,200 or 1,300, which would increase the corps to the peace strength of a regiment and would bring into the army about 300 West Pointers every year, about twice as many as is now the case, is indicated in the annual report of Colonel C. P. Townsley, the superintendent of the academy, just sent to the war department. Colonel Townsley believes that 1,300 is the maximum strength to which the West Point corps can be increased, and he points out that in the event congress authorizes that increase it should appropriate the money needed to house and care for the increased number of cadets, which would be about $1,900,000. If the corps is increased a new mess hall, a new barracks building, a new hospital, new quarters for officers and Photo by American Press Association. COLONEL TOWNSLEY. their families, who will be ordered here as instructors, are among the structures that will be imperatively needed and immediately. The plans for these buildings and the enlargement, reconstruction or rearrangement of others, it is understood, can be available at any time. In addition to improvements and whether the corps is increased or not, Colonel Townsley recommends that an appropriation of $350,000 be made for a new hotel on the government reservation, to take the place of the present "three bath" structure, which has the distinction of being the oldest hotel in the Hudson valley. "If an increase of the corps of cadets to 1,200 or 1,300 is authorized," Colonel Townsley adds, "this increase should be gradual and distributed over a period of four years, so as not to have the increase occur all in one class." Colonel Townsley directs attention to the fact that many candidates for cadetships are rejected because of physical defects, eighty of the 483 examined the past year having failed. He observes, however, that the physical requirements are none too rigid for those who will be expected to meet the strenuous life in field service. "With the law of 1910, which is now extended to 1923, in force and the present standards for entrance maintained," says the report, "I believe that the academy can secure enough cadets to keep up its capacity of 700 very closely. The desire of the academy being to secure the best and most promising material for officers in the regular army, there should be no lowering of its standards for entrance or of its requirements as to discipline or academic work." MY! HE'LL BE BUSY. Weds Widow With Eighteen Children; Grandfather of Thirteen Others. Gramfather of Thirteen Others. Camden, N. J. — George Washington Henry, fifty-five, a Hurffville blacksmith, married Mrs. Henrietta Verfllee, sixty-four, a widow, of Gloucester City, and the wedding increased the number of his near relatives by eighteen—the children of his wife. Mrs Verfllee kept a little store in Gloucester City, and it was there that the couple met. Not content with stepfathering all the young Verflennes, Henry will also take up the job of step-grandfathering thirteen other young people. The ceremony was performed in Gloucester City's city hall by Mayor Anderson. Henry is thinking of starting a card index system to keep all his new relatives in order, it is said. ENFORCE GRASS WIDOW RULE Civil Service Examiners Bar All Applicants of This Type. Washington.—The rule of the post-office department that "no grass widows need apply" was adhered to by the examiners of the civil service commission in examining applicants for government positions. This is not a new rule, but it is being enforced more strictly now than ever before. The postoffice department has had a regulation for several years that barred from its civil service roll married women. Grass widows are considered married, but divorced women are not and therefore are eligible. Recently the postoffice department and the civil service commission let up on the grass widows somewhat. Women who were separated from their husbands without fault of their own and were struggling for a living were admitted, but the drawing of the line between those who were grass widows for cause and those who were grass widows by no fault of their own became a bone of contention, and all grass widows were barred. WED AFTER FIFTY YEARS. Sweethearts Before Civil War Now Happy Together. Lexington, Ky.-Oliver Marcum and Mrs. Mary H. Murray were married by the Rev. J. S. Thompson at the minister's home here. Marcum is seventy-two years old and his bride seventy-one. The couple were sweethearts before the civil war and had not met in fifty years until the day before they were married. The bridegroom and the minister who married him served in the same company in the federal army. Marcum's first wife died four years ago. His bride had been a widow many years. GIRL IS DEPUTY CORONER. Miss Edison, Who Became Doctor In June, Gets Post In West. Seattle, Wash.-The little city of Tolt has the distinction of having the first woman deputy coroner appointed in this state. Dr. Hazel Edison, who was graduated last June from Rush Medical college at Chicago, hung out her shingle in Tolt in July. With a runabout she makes calls in all parts of her mountainous territory and is already popular. As deputy coroner she will have to investigate all violent and suspicious deaths in her district. CRACKED HEAD THAT HEALS HELP TO BRAIN Chicago.—For fifteen years Charles Manning Child, associate professor of zoology in the University of Chicago, has been experimenting on plants and animals to solve the problem of youth and age. As the result, in his "Sensence and Rejuvenescence," Professor Child turns upside down a lot of current notions about growth and death. He prescribes regular fasts, provided no organic disease exists. He suggests vacations or changes in mental occupation after long continued mental labor in a particular field. The effect of change is the rejuvenation of the nerve cells, he finds, and this means the nerve cells are built up anew as in youth. Professor Child utters a warning against overeating. Overnutrition, he says, increases the rate of senescence. All life, he points out, is a development toward senescence and death. Nature's idea is to build up a man, have him do his duty toward increasing the species and then move on to disintegration. Injuries, when death does not follow, result in the regeneration of the tissues affected, and this regeneration makes those tissues young again. A cracked pate that heals is good for the brain. From this comes the explanation of the old familiar story of the man who, recovering from an almost fatal injury or a serious illness, becomes healthier, more vigorous and youthful than before. It also confirms the old one about the idiot who, being hit a terrific blow on the head, regains his reason. RICH WIDOW ADOPTS PASTOR Young Preacher With Family Announces News From Pulpit. Ashland, Ore.-The Rev. Arthur R. Blackstone, pastor of the Baptist church here, has been adopted by a wealthy widow. Mrs. Aurelia Ferguson, who has made him her heir. His benefactress' estate is estimated at $100,000. The minister retains the name of blackstone. He is a young man with a family. To forestall criticism he announced the news from his pulpit. Makes Squirrels Work. Clarkesville, Ga.-John D. Kesler, a popular barber of this city, is believed to be the first man to put squirrels to work. He has a pair in front of his shop, and they turn the usual barber's colored sign. The little animals keep the cylinder turning almost as continuously as a motor, and the irregularity of the movement attracts greater attention. THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY WILSON AND CABINET PRAYED Bishop Tells of Incident at White House—Informed by Senator. Indianapolis.—How President Wilson went down on his knees and led his cabinet in prayer at a recent meeting was told here by Bishop William F. Anderson of Cincinnati at a session of the Indiana Methodist Episcopal conference. A United States senator told the bishop of the incident. The senator heard it from one of the cabinet members who had prayed with the president. "When the president arrived at the cabinet meeting," said Bishop Anderson, "his face was solemn. It was evident that serious affairs of the nation were on his mind. He said to the cabinet members: "I don't know whether you men believe in prayer or not. I do. Let us pray and ask the help of God." And right there the president of the United States fell upon his knees, and the members of the cabinet did the same, and the president offered a prayer to God."

MAKE MUDHOLES FOR LIVING Missourians Cultivate Traps For Auto-ists, Official Charges. Jefferson City, Mo.-That mudholes in the road are carefully nurtured in many communities in Missouri by persons who find it profitable to pull automobiles out of them when they get stuck is charged by State Highway Commissioner Buffum in a road bulletin. The issuance of this bulletin followed the action of a Callaway county farmer, who refused to pull the automobile of Mrs. James Houchin out of a creek bed until she gave him $25. THIRTEEN EXPLAINS Unlucky Number Was Also Aided by Killing Black Cat. California, Pa. - T. J. Underwood, comproller of Washington county, ascribes to "thirteens" his defeat as candidate for sheriff at the primaries. candidate for sheriff at the primaries. In the first place his name, Tom J. Underwood, contains thirteen letters. The license number of his yellow campa- nil car was 113. On Friday, Aug. 13, while riding in his car with another candidate now numbered among the also rans, he ran over and killed a black cat. The number of signers on Mr. Underwood's petition was 113. CAN RUN TRUCK FARM AND YET USE NO LAND Says He Found Way to Grow Plants on Chemical Diet. Cleveland, O.-J. A. Smith, manager of a drug store here, claims to have growing in his greenhouse healthy sweet corn planted in absorbent cotton which has been treated only with the proper chemical food the corn requires. In another greenhouse, he declares, he has tomatoes thriving in washed lake sand. Mr. Smith has worked on his discovery for seven years. He believes he has learned just what food each plant requires and in just what proportions to feed it nitrogen, potash and the other necessary chemicals. He claims to have a diet formula for almost every known plant and vegetable. Having made an analysis of the soil, he introduces the chemicals in which that soil is weak for the production of a given plant. Any kind of soil will do. Even cinders will suffice. The only use for the soil in Mr. Smith's process is to support the plant stalk just as a trellis supports the grapes or sweet peas. This is why, Mr. Smith contends, it is possible to grow plants in absorbent cotton. He merely saturates the cotton with a solution of the natural food for the plant it is intended to grow. Mr. Smith is negotiating with men who, he declares, are planning to commercialize his discovery. He would establish service stations in Cleveland and other cities. Does your lawn refuse to become green in a soil of hard clay? Send for Mr. Smith and let him put the grass on a diet. Do you own a greenhouse, and is it expensive to haul fertile soil from a distance? Send for Mr. Smith. He'll show you how to raise carnations in lake sand. "It's easy," he says, with a smile, "when you know the food carnations need." RATTLER'S FANGS MISS HIM Snake Strikes Negro's Overalls and Can't Get Loose. Jefferson City, Mo.—A negro farm hand cutting corn felt several sharp tugs at his overalls and thought he had become caught in briars. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw a rattlesnake five feet long. Reaching around with his corn knife, he managed to sever the snake just back of the head. The snake had buried its curved fangs, nearly an inch in length, in the slack of the negro's overalls and could not disengage them. At Eighty-three Drives 400 Miles. Glen Easton, W. Va.—George W. Grant, eighty-three years old, who drove 400 miles with a thirty-six-year-old horse from here to Wilmington, Del. has returned to this city by rail. It required sixty-one days to make the drive. Mr. Grant drove to Dela-ware to see his children, whom he had not seen in forty-six years. TAKES SECRET TO GRAVE Before Dying Would Be Inventor of Minneapolis Destroyed All Charts or Mechanical Contrivances He Had Made In Search For Perpetual Motion Machine. Minneapolis, Minn.—When John Laney, ninety-three years old, was laid to rest in Crystal Lake cemetery a seventy year quest for the secret of "perpetual motion" came to a fruitless end. So close did he think himself to the secret at times that he trembled with expectancy. For seventy years, despite his disappointments, his mind afame with ambition, Laney worked, thinking, experimenting. Meanwhile this man, a Scotchman by birth and a stonemason by trade, whose only relaxation was reading the works of Bacon, Shakespeare, Coleridge and Wordsworth, smashed and destroyed contrivance after contrivance when it failed. Then with intensified energy he concentrated on a new idea. "It almost worked." These three words tell the life story of a man gifted in some ways beyond his fellow men. John Laney wanted his name to go down in history, but always when he fancied he was at the very edge of accomplishment it was only to find the something missing in a contrivance that "almost worked." "When I was just a little girl father used to have the kitchen table cleared for him when supper was over," said Mrs. Lizzie Welton, at whose home the aged man spent his last days. "He had a groove in the table and a round stone ball that he made himself. He would roll this round and round, and often mother would have to get up late at night and beg him to stop and rest. "Father had a good education, mostly self acquired. He loved the poets, and he wrote several songs, one for the St. George guards of St. George, New Brunswick, where we once lived. He was a sculptor also." Outside the steps of the cozy cottage where Mrs. Welton lives are two pieces of granite. One has on it figures of Hiawatha and Minnehaha; the other has on it a bear and two cubs. Inside the house, highly treasured, is a chain five feet long, with many links and an anchor at the end, that was cut out with a jackknife from a solid piece of wood. Many small memories remain. But before he died John Laney destroyed all charts or mechanical contrivances he had made in his search for perpetual motion. One day he said to his daughter: "Perpetual motion will yet be found. There is no doubt of it. When it is found the world will be astonished not alone by the stupendous changes that it will bring in all industrial life, but by the simplicity of it. Millions will wonder why no one ever thought of it before." "I am an old man," he would often say. "I saw the coming of the railroads, the telegraph, the automobile and the more wonderful things of later years. I predicted back in 1850 that the world would one day see the horseless wagon, and it is here. Ah, if I could only just get the one little missing link!" MAD DOG CALLS POLICE. Upstes Telephone In Rampage and Central Does the Rest. Danville, Ill. - A dog afflicted with rabies indirectly called the police department and thus brought about its own destruction. Before it was killed it overtured much of the furniture at the home of Louis Smith, its owner, and badly scared the servant. In its rampage it upset a desk on which the telephone rested and as the receiver fell from the hook central asked for the number. The operator heard the howling of the dog and, believing that something was wrong, called the police department. BABE TRAVELS IN BASKET. Young Father Makes Long Journey With Motherless Child. Eagle, Ariz.—With a clothes basket as a cradle for his month-old motherless babe R. E. Hitt made the journey from Eagle to Sidney, Ia., to place the infant in the care of its grandmother. Mrs. Hitt died just a month ago following the birth of twins, one of which died at birth. A woman on the train volunteered to assist the young father, and the infant reached its destination safely. Owns Wrong Land Twelve Years. McMinnville, Ore.—Twelve years ago Josef Henrich bought eight acres of school land from the state, located, paid taxes and improved the place. N. W. Smith, who recently purchased thirteen acres from the state, discovered that Henrich had been living on his land and had paid taxes on another tract one mile south similar in description. In the twelve years Henrich had built a home on the Smith place, cleared some of the timber and cultivated the land. The Henrich tract in the meantime has not been touched.

Bridgeport Pastor Believes They Will Be Attraction. Bridgeport, Conn.—For the first time in the history of the state girl ushers served in the Washington Park Methodist Episcopal church here. The Rev. Everett A. Burns, the pastor, said the girls will act in that capacity every Sunday evening. "I hope that the young men who might otherwise absent themselves from services will attend because of the girl ushers," he said. The girls, all from well to do families, are Helen Clinton, Mildred Curtis, Anna Rackmyer, Emma Smith. Ella Crabtree, Irene Chapman and Clarice Bray. Mrs. Julia Griffin also is an usher. HAS LONELY SUPPER AT 105 Centenarian Is Said to Be the Daughter of Napoleon's Chef. Jeffersonville, Ind.-Mrs. Susan Quinlan, 105 years old, spent her birthday quietly at her home with only her son. Charles, sixty years old, a carpenter, with whom she lives, sharing the supper. Mrs. Quinlan has been married three times. She was born in France, the daughter of Franz Antone, who is said to have been chef to the Emperor Napoleon. She came to this country when twenty-six years old. Her last husband, who died several years ago, was Patrick Quinlan, a cafe proprietor. TEXAS COWPUNCHER DIES WORTH MILLION As Boy Asked For Cattle In Lieu of Pay. El Paso, Tex.—Wert Love, who has died at Warfa, started a cowboy without even a horse that he could call his own and became millionaire owner of vast herds and a ranch that was a domain in itself. A resident of West Texas since 1885, Wert Love was known to every cowman from Fort Worth to El Paso. He had his peculiar characteristics, and thrift was one of them. But while he was frugal, he never allowed a genuine case of distress to go unrelieved. When other cowboys were drawing their wages in gold back in the eighties and riding to El Paso or San Antonio to spend the money in riotous living or over the gaming table, Wert Love was putting his earnings into cows. His start was seven cows. At his death he could not have counted all the cattle in his herd if he had ridden hard for a month at the task. His first work after coming west was for Jim Powell, a cousin, near Fort Davis. He was a mere boy and received but $25 a month and his board. He refused to take any money except that necessary to buy his clothes, which were few, and asked to be paid in cows. In 1889 he had 150 head. After the start it seemed easy to those who watched Wert Love, but they knew he was working hard all the time. He always picked the best cattle when he bought, and he always picked the best range for them. The result was that he lost few cattle by disease or drought. He watched the markets and sold right and invested the money again. The result was that when he died 200 men were on his payroll and his estate was worth more than $1,000,000. A son nine years old will get most of it and will probably be the richest boy in Texas. THREE GEESE—COSTS $100. Widow Wins Long Lawsuit, and Birds Sell For $1.50. Pocahontas. Ark.—A goose case has finally been disposed of in circuit court here. Mrs. Ledbetter, a widow, brought a replinv suit against a man named Starr for three gueses that she claimed belonged to her. The trial in the justice of the peace's court resulted in the appeal to the circuit court. Eighteen witnesses were in attendance. Mrs. Ledbetter was awarded the guese. The total cost to the litigants amounted to more than $100, besides the cost to the county. The guese were marketed at 50 cents each. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. SNAKE CAUSES AUTO WRECK. Runaway Follows Owner's Effort to Kill Copperhead on Seat. East Orange, N. J.—James Morrison of Orange went automobiling with his family the other afternoon and when over the Second mountain drove into a dirt road so that his wife and two children could pick wild flowers. They left the car under a large oak tree and sauntered off. Half an hour later Mrs. Morrison and her two children returned to the car for the return trip. Colled up on the front seat was a large copperhead snake. The mother and children, dropping the flowers, ran away screaming. Mr. Morrison returned to the car and, as the branches hung low over it, pushed it back to the macadam road of Eagle Rock avenue. Getting a stout club from the woods, he swung at the snake, missed it and accidentally gave the car a push, and down the hill it went. The grade was very steep, and the automobile ran through a wooden fence into the farm of Jacob Miller, striking a calf, killing a couple of chickens and finally halting after it had torn away part of Miller's back porch. By this time there was not much left of the car, and Mr. Morrison, with his wife and two children, walked four miles home. The snake escaped. USE FOUND FOR BEAR GRASS. Fiber Obtained From It Converted Into Cordage, Matting, Etc. Tucumcari, N. M.—Gathering the spear-like leaves of the wild bear grass that grows profusely over a large area of western Texas and baling the fiber that is obtained therefrom is a new industry for this part of the country. A large plant for preparing the fiber for market has been established here. The product is shipped to Chicago, where it is manufactured into rope, cordage, matting and other products. The available supply of the raw material is said to be practically inexhaustible. Up to the time it was discovered that the leaves contain a valuable fiber bear-grass was considered worthless by the ranchmen. It is now proving a source of considerable revenue for the land owners and the men who are employed in marketing it. FLOOD OF IMMIGRANTS COMING AFTER THE WAR Uncle Sam Must Be Careful to Bar the Unfit. Washington. - Eternal vigilance is needed on the part of the immigration department in restricting the number of unit immigrants trying to enter this country. Although immigration has had a tremendous drop, paupers, insane, epileptic and feeble minded persons, professional beggars, those likely to become a public charge, contract laborers, assisted aliens, those living on immorality and others debarred from entering this country still seem to be emigrating, though probably in smaller numbers. Last year 33,041 individuals were refused entrance to this country, a proportion to the total number of aliens (immigrant and nonimmigrant) landing of 2.3 per cent, while for the half year ending January, 1915, 15,208 were debarred, being 5.1 per cent of the total immigration during that time. Of those trying to enter during the last six months 249 were idiots, imbeciles or feeble minded, 67 were insane or epileptic, 1,144 were suffering from loathsome or dangerous contagious diseases. 9,809 were likely to become a public charge, 1,746 were contract laborers, 344 were assisted allies and 177 were coming for immoral purposes. Many people see in the fact that there is little reduction in the numbers of the mentally, physically and morally unfit who are attempting to enter this country an indication of what may be expected in the near future. At the end of the war Europe will try to keep its strong, its abledied and its healthy individuals, while enormous financial burdens will probably induce a marked tendency toward emigration, actively encouraged perhaps, of those who are apt to become a burden on the state. Such problems as far as possible will be shifted to other shoulders through a process of emigration. Only stringent regulations on the part of the American government and extraordinary efficiency in its immigration service will prevent such an unloading of the unit upon the shoulders of Uncle Sam. NEW ORLEANS IS RAT PROOF Not a Case of Plague In City Since Oct. 4—Work Continues. Washington—"More than half of the approximately 70,000 buildings in New Orleans have been made rat proof; there has not been a case of plague there since Oct. 4 last, and it will not be long before New Orleans will be one of the most rat proof cities in the world," announced Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant surgeon general of the public health service. Dr. Rucker has charge of the eradication of the plague. Reports show that 318,000 rats have been caught by the health authorities in New Orleans since the anti-plague campaign began last autumn, and all of them have been subjected to bacteriological examination. "All the rats caught have been identified as to species and sex," said Dr. Rucker. "The species plays an important role." $2.40 PER YEAR. Inventor Also Hopes to Transmit Pictures by Same Medium Which Carries the Voice—Declares It Will Be Possible to Hold Secret Conversation Too. New York.—Nikola Tesla announced that he had received a patent on an invention which would not only eliminate static interference, the present bugaboo of wireless telephony, but would enable thousands of persons to talk at once between wireless stations and make it possible for those talking to see one another by wireless, regardless of the distance separating them. He said also that with his wireless station now in the process of construction on Long Island he hoped to make New York one of the central exchanges in a world system of wireless telephony. The inventor, who has won fame by his electrical inventions, dictated this statement: "The experts carrying out this brilliant experiment are naturally deserving of great credit for the skill they NIKOLA TESLA. have shown in perfecting the devices. These are of two kinds—first, those serving to control transmission, and second, those magnifying the received impulse. That the control of transmission is perfect is plain to experts from the fact that the Arlington, Mare island and Pearl Harbor plants are all ineffective and that the distance of telephonic communication is equal to that of telegraphic transmission. It is also perfectly apparent that the chief merit of the application lies in the magnification of the microphonic impulse. It must not be imagined that we deal here with new discoveries. The improvement simply concerns the control of the transmitted and the magnification of the received impulse, but the wireless system is the same. This can never be changed. "It is claimed that static disturbance will fatally interfere with the transmission, while as a matter of fact there is no static disturbance possible in properly designed transmission and receiving circuits. Quite recently I have described in a patent circuits which are absolutely immune to static and other interferences, so much so that when a telephone is attached there is absolute silence, even lightning in the immediate vicinity not producing a click of the diaphragm, while in the ordinary telephonic conversation there are all kinds of notices. "Another contention is that there can be no secrecy in wireless telephone conversation. I say it is absurd to raise this contention, when it is positively demonstrated by experiments that the earth is more suitable for transmission than any wire could ever be. A wireless telephone conversation can be made as secret as a thought." "I have myself erected a plant for the purpose of connecting by wireless telephone the chief centers of the world, and from this plant as many as a hundred will be able to talk absolutely without interference and with absolute secrecy. The plant would simply be connected with the telephone central exchange in New York city, and any subscriber will be able to talk to any other telephone subscriber in the world, and all this without any change in his apparatus. This plan has been called my 'world system.' By the same means I propose also to transmit pictures and project images, so that the subscriber will not only hear the voice, but see the person to whom he is talking. Pictures transmitted over wires is a perfectly simple art practiced today. Many inventors have labored on it, but the chief credit is due to Professor Korn of Munich." $2,000 Awaits Lost Cat Chicago.—John H. Warder used to think a great deal of his pet angora cat. Boyse. In his will he provided that $2.000 be set aside in a trust fund for the care of Boyse at a cat paradise in Massachusetts. The will has just been filed for probate, and Mrs. Warder, to whom the whole estate is left, was asked what she intended to do in regard to Boyse. "Goodness!" she exclaimed. "we gave Boyse away a year ago. I don't even know where he is now." HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? 8T. PAUL OFFICE No. 301-2 Court Block, 24 E. 4th st. J. Q. ADAMS, Manager.

Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamalae were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "We were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." THE COLORED MAN'S STAND- ARDS. The Christian Register, the leading 'taken altogether the standard of ante-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 esirable; a "bad nigger" was harder to trouble than one who would make no trouble. bellum 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 diffe'er 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 not well-fitted with attainment which is distinctly second-rate in the world's Bradstreet. The colored musician, or painter, or artisan, or writer is too oop to measure himself by the many people below him in skill instead of keeping his eye fixed on the few who surpass him. 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 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-attainment, among brothers and sisters of their own race, all alike half blindly groping their slow way out of the darkness. But that sored 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 HYPHENATED AMERICAN. Owald Garrison Villard's recent speech against hyphenated Americanism was a telling one. Mr. Villard was himself born on German soil and of a German father yet he is amazed at the divided citizenship of some Americans of German ancestry. He referred to Carl Schurz, and his true Americanism and said "What would amaze him more than to find unnumbered Germans who, like him, come to this country to escape the very militaristic autocracy they now uphold, today, denouncing the nation that adopted and sheltered and fed and clothed them." Other races have shown strong tendencies to form distinct bodies, Mr. Villard said, but the German propaganda is, so far, the most extensive. He then asked if it were true, as contended, that the German Kultur and political system were superior to the scheme of life and government in America, why the hordes who have flocked here did not go to Germany instead. Mr. Villard said, that to allow nationalistic groups to develop in this country such as they have in Austria-Hungary would be most disastrous. He said, such a proposal was "unthinkable to a true minded American." For many years it has been the custom to treat colored people as allens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing ten- regard themselves as aliens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. SEGGREGATION BY CENSUS. "Negroes in the United States," is the title of a pamphlet gotten out by the United States Census Bureau. The title is misleading, for there are only 473 real Africans in the United States, according to the Census, that is Negroes born in Africa. It is wrong, unjust and un-American for the government to segregate its clerks by color in the Departments in Washington, and it is also wrong, unjust and un-American for the government to issue a separate and inaccurate Census Bulletin as it has done in the case of the bulletin, "Negroes in the United States." The United States assumes that a group of about 10,000,000 people are Negroes and proceeds to so classify them. More than ninety-nine per cent of the persons so classified were born in America of American parents, and their parents were Americans and so on back for ten generations. If a man whose ancestors for many generations is not an American, who is entitled to the name? If a white man can become an American in two generations, why should a person of any other color born in this country fail to "arrive" in the same space of time? The name "Negro" applied to a group of citizens in this country is inaccurate, because it does not include forty or fifty million other Americans who have more or less Negro blood. The expression "pure race" is amyth so all great writers on racial questions agree. The mixing of bloods in this country has gone so far that it is impossible to determine with any degree of accuracy who has Negro blood and who has not, and for the Government to about 10,000,000 people and say that they are "Negroes," and by that act to aid in making them a separate treatment in church and state, is to perpetrate a great wrong. It is an infamous thing for the government of this great republic to draw the color line in any way. In a republic every citizen should have exactly the same status so far as the government is concerned. There is no reason why a Democracy should attempt to classify its citizens by their blood. All persons born in this country should be considered Americans without any prefixes or suffixes. CONDONING COLORED CURS THE APPEAL approves of every word of the reprinted editorial from the Chicago Tribune and wishes to add a few words of exorcitation of the contemptible colored curs who continually praise the southern people and condene many of their infamous acts. It is not only contemptible but criminal. The extension of race prejudices in the North has been greatly aided by these flands in human form who have been paid in cash or the appellation of "good negro" to laud the brutal, barbarous, unhuman, unchristian un-American South. When the Georgia senate recently passed a law forbidding white persons to teach colored pupils some of these human skunks rushed into print to defend the action, saying that it would benefit the colored man. The white Georgians who burn and hang and legislate against their colored fellow citizens are saints when compared with colored men who condone their crimes. TINSEL CHIVALRY The Southern Caucasians are continually yelling about their chivalrous regard for women and their determination to protect females from assaults etc., but in view of many happenings in the landlady it is evident, that their chivalry is of the tinsel variety. Last year a Caucasian went into the home of a respectable colored woman in Wagoner, Okla., and attempted to assault her, but was shot by the woman before he succeeded. When the chivalrous Oklahomans heard of the happening, the colored woman who killed the white man in protecting her virtue was lynched by an "orderly mob of the best citizens." In another Southern state recently, a colored man was walking along the street with his sweetheart when a white man made an insulting remark about her. The colored man promptly killed the white man and a few hours later he was lynched by a mob of "leading citizens." The chivalrous men of Georgia have allowed a law fixing the age of consent for girls 10 years, to stand upon the statute boks, and in nearly every Southern state it is lower than it ought to be. The Southern boast about defending the honor of women is a LIE. Southern chivalry is tinsel. THE NEW ABOLITION. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People came as a direct result of the Springfield riots of 1908. After several conferences, it was organized and permanent head quarters opened in November 1810. released in November 1910. The growth of the organization has been phenomenal, with 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 brand uncompromising. The official statement contains among other things the following strong statement and demands: "The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them citizenship, enjoyment of their rights as citizens, and security of opportunity everywhere. It favors 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 in the national situation in the unbolding of the constitution of the United States and its amendments, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of 'all men up and no man down.' It holds the negro crime, but still more the condition of most all, the crimes committed by mobs in the mackey of the law or by individuals in the name of the law. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to peace and social content. It has no other motive than justice and no other motive than humanity." The proposed program for the advance of the colored people has been laid down by Dr. W. E. B. DuBols: "We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with or die by or being willing to lull our friend's attention to difference and present satisfaction. The American Negro demands equality—political equality—and he is never going to rest satisfied with anything bragadocio and in no spirit of braggingacy of envy of others, but as an absolute measure of self defense and the only one that will assure to the darker races their ultimate survival on earth. The colored people must have industrial freedom. Between the peonage and the white capitalists of shrewd capitalists and the jealousy of certain trade unions the colored laborer is the most exploited class in the country, giving more hard toll for him than any other American and with less voice in the conditions of his labor. In social intercourse every effort is being made today from the president of the United States and to the called Church of Christ down to saloons and bootcults to segregate, strangle and man so as to give him the least chance to know and share civilization. "The colored man must have power—the power of men, the right to do, to know, to feel and to express that power," he wrote in a spiritual gift. He must not simply be a political tyranny of white folk; he must have the right to vote and to rule over all the citizens to the extent he proves foresight and ability. He must be a custodian and a distrustful 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 allies of society. He must be 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 means thataters, lectures, organization, and travel, hotels—it means, in short, life. To bar a group from methods of thinking, living and doing, is to bar them from the world and bid them create a world—it is to crucify them and them with not being able to live." Dr. DuBols suggest five practical steps for action—first, economic co-operation; second, a revival of art and culture; third, political action; fourth, education; fifth, "For the accomplishment of all those ends we must organize. Organization among us already has gone far, but it must go much further and higher. Or organization of opinions, 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 and ports 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 short of a reasonable accomplishment, we are despipped today by millions of people not because we suffer, but because we suffer like dumb, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces. To what other race could it happen on green earth that one is its greatest set least of men? And as we assembled, thousands could congratulate his people because only fifty-twocolored 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 in the United States or has the door of opportunity trespassed, we protest and complain and protest again whether the world wants to hear us or not. We may not gain our ends, but we must not lose 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 great causes, of great causes, of peace and patience cannot win, then war and struggle must. In any case there can be no despair, there can be no surrender, there can be no surrender, there can man draws a breath in America." 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 office. Men of that sort are generally him as a man. This is not so in the case of Mr. Dabney. He is a man The Melting Pot (From the Chicago Defender.) From Los Angeles comes the news that the authorities there are con- cerned with what to do in relation to three children, whom they are parentage on both sides, and yet showing neither in complexion nor hair, a trace of the Ethiopian. There seems to be a suspicion that the little ones are of other origin and really are physiological aspects of the matter are too much for the non-scientific. If our friends on the other side but knew a laughing stock they made of themselves in our eyes they color being a badge of inferiority, for did they but know it not a great percentage of those who term them Americans can truthfully say not a trace or dark blood courses We are who on the inside know of thousands who have gone over on the other side and are "passing." The reason for their leaving is obvious. Opportunities, the one thing we all love, and the one thing that is the most important for the man of dark- skin to find. The world, but especially the United States, is full of people who are unconscious of the fact that they are not silicon pure, white, and again there are so lightly tinged—but know it—they find little difficulty in going their way unmoistened. But let their identity be discovered and they drop immediately in the eyes of the narrow and prejudiced far below their assoc. They go to prove this bugbear prejudice—matter of color after all. It is well for a great many that they are not compelled to trace their ancestors back farther than their father and they did undoubtedly the next census would show an alarming increase in the colored population. Have Learned to "Love, Honor and Obey." (From the Afro-American Ledger.) "If I can live happily among the colored people, if I can love them as I love the people of my own race, then I know that our dream of brotherhood must come true," says Miss Florence MacFarlane, gate from London, England, to the New Thought Congress, which met in San Francisco recently. Miss MacFarlane announces her intention of going out live among colored people. The experience of the Englishwoman was not, but it offers little tie that is new. Thoughts about race and sex have not only learned to love their colored brothers, but "to love, honor and obey them." The Lynching of Haiti. (From St. Luke's Herald. But, why not Mexico? Well, Mexico has a population of 15,000,000. It has several men calling themselves themselves to fight. We are a peaceable people; we will not fight any people who can fight back. The helpless and unarmed are just as we lynch helpless Negroes this time, and has lynched the Haitian government. (From Martinsburg Pioneer-Press.) The world's record in stenography he made, colored lady, in spite of allegations the people we lack in grey of brain. Keen a-coming sisters, for we are a new issue diffused through and through the world's best blood, and I bound to tell, because it is in giant bodies. Campaign Against Lynching. There is no better time than NOW to begin a National Crusade Against Lynching in the United States. For the rapidity with which this national crime has spread, the barbarity with which it is committed and the utter disregard for emplacency with which it is regarded, is the science of the country in one united protest against its further spread and for its final annihilation. S'more Southern "Social Equality." Florence, S. C.-Capt. Paul Whipple was the father of several Colored children. He died recently at Riverdale, S. C., leaving an estate of nearly $100,000. He was one of his Colored children, Sam and George Moses, in association with a white man, shall administer his estate. He has had no trouble in securing the inheritance. Not Worthy of Freedom. (From the Richmond Planet.) When a race or an individual submits uncomplainingly to oppression, it is a practical demonstration that the race on the individual is not worthy of freedom. Better Chance in Life for Work if Educated Side by Side With White. But even after graduation the colored youth with white begins the chance to work alongside of the white boy at his trade, has a better opportunity to demonstrate his ability and build up a strong line of friendship with members of the dominant race possibly have in segregated school. Reforms Needed at Home. (From The Christian Register.) Race bitterness makes argument, or discussion, or any effort to come to a common understanding quite useless. Where much racefeeling is engaged, reason is neutralized. With some people, questions of the rights of colored people are ignored. With people of California have become impossible. They simply can not discuss the subject. While this is the case in this country, we have enough to do in cleaning our own blood of racist people. We must our main business to reach across the water in restraint of war. War is incipient among us in these matters, and cruel barbarities frequent enough, to keep us busy reforming ourselves. We must speak out emphatically, scrobatically against almost every wrong in the country—except race prejudice. If he wants to show that he is a real brave man, not afraid to tack anything, and do some good where it is possible, he must give him speak out against race prejudice. RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself evil thing in this present judice; none at all. I w the worst single thing i and holds together more abomination than any of world. Through its body of coarse lust, suspicion and all the darkest soul. —H. G. W. I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; none at all. I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. —H. G. Wells in N. Y. 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 you on a recent editorial discouragement. There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential facade at the present to bring about both the need and the segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bols and Washington feel that its use in the museum is necessary to retain the food of the people. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: it does not stood historically or in the present as a moral condition for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but only ones. Sudanese and Senegambians. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negro-head, Negro-fy, Negro-monkey, are all clearly, in their associations, degrading. Negrofy is justly and correctly used define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. b. It has been the word used by the South African women for two times when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably refers to f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, Asians 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 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 best. We compare many persons who live in the best and think they know the colored race, who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern have never known, and of the two sets of people who direct contact with the second knew the colored better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know the direct contact with the best of the race, and they know the vicious of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the coloured race, the mass and by observation merely possess individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would resemble the judgments and possibly soften their heart, and they ought to credit to those who they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race, 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 as it is, when one considers the height and depth—the starry height and depth—of the human spirit that wavers and glows through us all—Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstol 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 seven That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guil Not colored like his ow To enforce the wrong, I My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. 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. * * * * * * Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. Of One Blood. Moller! Though the cathedrals 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 among great bells rilting in their towers, and poets overriding the years, by the priests and songs of their heroes, artists, inventors, by the mothers and the little children. We are all in the same world. We are all in the same world. I will not say of any one nation that I will say of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself. OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION. (From the Boston Guardian.) Embitters All but Docile Negro (From the Savannah Tribune). In many of the Southern States, years past, the colored troops were allowed and maintained. On one occasion states disbanded the colored troops. Georgia was better organized than any of the other states, and was the last to disband the colored troops. In event of a state's failure to duration, the colored man will be badly injured and has 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 states, and are just his and which would embitter any other race but the docile Negro. Each Victory Encourages. (From the Martinsburg Pioneer-Press) All hat to our brave confrence the old reliable Gazette for editor of the old reliable Gazette for editor of the error of Ohio, and preventing that infernal play, "The Nigger," to be exhibited in the great state of Ohio. To these such impositions is the unfinching dance of such agitators among us.

Of the Richmond Planet Tells of His Visit to St. Paul. A few weeks ago Mr. John Mitchell, Jr, of Richmond, Va., editor of the Richmond Planet and president of the Mechanics Savings Bank, while en- Toute to the meeting of the American Bankers Association at Seattle, Wash. stopped in St. Paul. In the last issue of The Planet he tells of his visit as follows: ‘i “We were due at St. Paul, Minne- sota, at about 11:00°A. M.’ I had previously notified Bditor John Q. Adams, of THE APPEAL that I would jbe there. When I at last reached the Station a “red cap,” as the porters are called, took my luggage. ‘I found him to be a West Indian, I thought I saw Mr. Adams pass me. He looked at me without recognition and I thought I was mistaken. When I enquired about him, the porter replied, “Why, he just passed you. I will find’him.” “He did soon and I was soon chatting with the well-mown publisher of THE APPEAL. We went down to the bariks of the Mississippi and we looked at the great bridges spanning the ‘mighty river, Mr, Adams pointed out to me the proposed improvements. “The special train of the Oklahoma bankers was due in St. Paul that morn- ing and arrangements had been made to entertain the guests. The Appeal Office. Tn company with Mr. Adams, I vis- ited THE APPEAL office. It is well located in the heart of the city. Be- fore going there, however, I was much amused at some of the signs in the establishment of Messrs, Jamison and McHunt, at 40 E. Third Street. One of them read, ‘Your face is good, but it won't goin the cash register,’ and another, ‘If you spit on the floor at home, spit on the floor here. We want everybody to feel at home.” From the appearance of the place, these signs seemed to have had the proper effect. St. Paul ig a fine city. ‘A Fine Breakfast. I strolled through its streets for a short while on my way to Mr, and ‘Mrs. John Q. Adams’ residence. 1 had ‘Dut two hours in St. Paul and’ Minne- apolis. Breakfast had been prepared for me and the family awaited my-ar- rival. If I was late, it was Mr. Adams’ fault, for I followed him as uncom- plainingly as a child. I had to do 80 for I was a stranger in St. Paul. | When we finally halted after leaving the street car, .we entered the cosy Tesidence of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Adams. It is a structure of modern architecture and kept up to a standard of housekeeping excellence that would please the most fastidious. They had delayed breakfast and I met Rev. H. P. Jones, Dr. Valdo Turner, Miss Car- olyn A. Steward and Mrs Jeannette 8. Black, daughters of Wm. H. Stewart, editor of the American Baptist, Louis- ville, Ky., who were visiting the city; Misses Adina and Eaythella and J. Q. Adams, Jr., children of Editor Adams. ‘A Husband’s Explanation. Madame Adams was the presiding genius. How she arranged the matter Telative to that delayed breakfast, I never knew. A happy party sat down to that magnificent repast. What shall I say about the breakfast? It was magnificent. There was no sign of anything but happiness. I ate and as I glanced at my watch I found that unless I expected to take the after- noon train I must hurry at once to the station. Dr. Turners Courtesy. Dr. Valdo Turner's car was at the door and after expressing my heart- felt appreciation’ to. Mr. and Mrs. Adams, I hurriedly left for the sta- tion. Dr. Turner has a remunerative Practice and ts liked by his patrons. ‘Bidding him a hurried adieu, I passed through the narrow gateway and I Was goon down at the tracks below. ‘The train was to travel in two sec- tions and I was on the second section. T would not be able to stop at Minne- apolis. I had missed seeing the sights of both cities, but the enjoyment ex- perlenced at the Adams’ mansion was worth it, = Save money on your laundry.
