FOOLS DISTINGUISHED BODY Assistant Keepa Him Informed of Everything Said and Done by Means of Telegraphing Finger Tips That Touched Edison's Knee Under Table—Inventor Himself Tells of Haex. West Orange, N. J.-Thomas A. Edison's friends who know of the inventor's deafness have been marveling at the success with which he presided at the inauguration of the new naval consulting team was learned that Mr. Edison fooked every member of that distinguished body of men, including President Wilson and Secretary of the Navy Daniels; that he heard little that was said during the board's deliberations and that he was enabled to preside so well because his assistant, who was present, kept him informed of everything said and done by means of a telegraphic finger tip that touched Mr. Edison's knee under the table. Mr. Edison himself told the story of the hoax to some of his friends, and his Photo by American Press Association. LATEST PHOTOGRAPH OF THOMAS A. EDISON partner in it, Miller Reese Hutchison, his chief engineer and personal representative, corroborated it. Three or four years ago Mr. Hutchison fell a victim to whooping cough. He lost his voice temporarily. Mr. Edison, who began his career as a telegraph operator, suggested to Mr. Hutchison that he learn the Morse code. Mr. Hutchison did this, and in that way they began a system of communication based upon it and operated by the dots and dashes with the fingers. In the same way arduable companions they have used this means of talking with each other a great deal and have been able to exchange words even in shaking hands. Mr. Edison has never allowed his deafness to bother him. In fact, he has considered it an asset in his work, as he has been able to move about in his busy factory without being distracted by its great noises. Then the inventor went to Washington to preside over the destinies of the new board of which Secretary Daniels made him the head, he was embarrassed for the first time at his loss of hearing. But he took Mr. Hutchison with him and posted him at his right and close by his side when the board met. Mr. Hutchison tapped to Mr. Edison everything that was said, sometimes verbatim and sometimes metaphorical words. By means of this Mr. Edison directed the board's discussions and even found time to flash back to Mr. Hutchison comments upon what his assistant had already interpreted to him. Mr. Hutchison was able to send More messages to Mr. Edison at the rate of thirty words a minute, and as the speeches were said to have been delivered he was able to deliberate fashion he was able to convey almost every sentence of every address. Mr. Edison and his assistant also worked the Morse code with their eyelids. With them a quick wink means a dot and a long wink means a dash, and they talk to each other in this way when they wish to convey a message of a private nature when they are surrounded by other persons and are too far apart for the finger tapping method. TROUSERS FOR SUFFRAGETTE. Mexican Girl In Soldier's Uniform Leads First Parade Brownsville, Tex.-Led by a young girl named Lulisa Cabello, an unusual woman suffrage demonstration, the first ever held in northern Mexico, was a woman of the number of Mexican women at Reynolds University five miles from here. Miss Cabello appeared garbed as a soldier and defied the authorities when ordered to resume women's apparel. She was told that, while the law permitted a woman to wear a coat, she appeared in soldier's trousers. A compartmentally well effected with the aid of a little dreery in the form of suffrage flags. NEVADA DIVORCE IGNORED. Bridgeport Suit May Bring Adjudication on Validity of Western Decree. Greenwich, Conn.—In the superior court at Bridgeport before Judge Case the many side issues in the divorce petition of Rudolph Ernest Tiedemann against Gertrude Eleanor Tiedemann of this place were disclosed on a motion to strike out an alleged amended reply. The real issue of the case will show the attitude of the Connecticut court on divorces issued in Nevada. Three years in Nevada Tiedemann obtained a divorce in Nevada and was allowed custody of the child and allied. Last March the husband sued for divorce alleging desertion, paying no attention to the Nevada decree. He never paid any of the almamy, it is alleged, and now seeks custody of the child. The amended reply is that the Nevada divorce is not good, because neither of the parties was a resident. Decision was reserved. SLIP BRINGS DREAM TRUE Printer Laughed, but Losses Hand Exactly as Foretold. Kansas City—John W. Reed of the Read Printing company dreamed the other night of cutting of his hand in a paper cutter in his shop. He laughed when he told about the dream and said he was not superstitious and had no fear. Next day as he passed the cutter Reed slipped and struck the lever. His left hand went under the blade and was the wrist. The workman numbered the dream, became confused and ten minutes passed before a physician was called. LOST GIRL CRAWLS MILES. Thrown by Runaway, She is Left crippled in Desert. Needles, Cal. — Lost in the desert, forced to crawl for miles on her hands and knees during the night and finally rescued by a railroad engineer as she lay unconscious on the tracks, were the adventures that befell Miss Louise M. Pearson, twenty-two, of Oakland, in the Mohave desert. Miss Pearson left Ludlow on horseback to locate a mine in Old Dad mountains. Ten miles out her horse she walked while was so severely sprained she could not walk, and the horse, carrying food supplies, raced away. OVER 240 NEW GAME LAWS ENACTED BY U. S. Agricultural Department Presses Campaign of Protection. Washington.—The department of agriculture has inaugurated a vigorous campaign for the protection of game under the federal law and is aiding the various states in carrying out their statutes. More than 240 new game laws were enacted during 1915—a larger number in any previous year except 1911. Forty-five new legislative sessions, and in all of states except Arizona, Georgia and Nebraska some changes were made in the statutes protecting game. The largest number of new game laws passed in any one state was sixty-one, in North Carolina, but in California, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin the number reached ten or more. Several measures were vetoed, including a general game bill that would allow appropriating the hunting license fund for the state, a bill protecting bears in California and three sections of the game bill in Washington state. A number of bills were introduced for the purpose of harmonizing the state laws on migratory birds with the federal regulations. In at least nine states changes were made which brought the seasons into substantial agreement—namely, California, Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, Tennessee and West Virginia. In Illinois the seasons for all migratory birds except coot and waterfowl and in Washington for the smaller shore birds were made to conform with the regulations under the federal law. Uniformity was also secured by provisions in the laws of Connecticut, Maine, Washington and Wisconsin, prohibiting hunting between sunset and sunrise. On the other hand, Delaware adopted a resolution opposing the migratory bird law, and Ohio and Rhode Island, which had harmonized their seasons in 1914, changed the seasons on waterfowl this year. As a result of the decision of the supreme court of the United States on Jan. 19, 1914, sustaining the alien hunting law of Pennsylvania, legislation prohibiting aliens from hunting or owning shotguns or rifles was enacted in at least four states—Massachusetts, New York, Virginia—but certain exceptions based on property qualifications were made in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Owl Causea Auto Smash Peru, Ind.-Marlon Dillman took a party of friends automobiling, and when near Chill an owl struck him in the face. Dillman let go of the steer and the car ran down an embankment of the buildings of the occupants was hurt, but Dillman's face was scratched by the owl's claws. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER. 23 1915. SUSPENDS PAPER TO WED. Young Western Editor Apologizes For Taking Week Off. Wenatchee, Wash.—Ashley E. Holden, graduate of the Wenatchee high school, who is editing a newspaper at Orient, asked the indulgence of his subscribers for suspending the paper away to be married. Holden said: "We don't know whether it is customary for an editor to take a vacation or not. We do know that we want to get off for a week, and as this paper is yours and you are the boss we are going to ask your indulgence and omit next week's issue. Our grandmother the Spokane isn't a ball game, nor even the Spokane isn't a ball game, nor the open bird season which is calling the fact of the matter is that we are going to obey the Biblical injunction that advises a man not to live alone." MEMORY BACK, SPEECH GONE. Man Tells Strange Story of Being Lost Since Beer War. Seattle—His mind a blank for the thirteen years that have elapsed since he was rendered unconscious beneath a horse's hoofs in a skirmish in the Beer war, Sergent William Tait, who says he commanded a party of British scouts at Mafeking, has come to himself in the county hospital here. Tait was found in the woods of the Dumbo river, near Seattle. He imagined that he was seeking lost troopers. The bursting of a blood vessel in his brain has now restored his memory, but has deprived him of the power of speech. He has no recollection of how he came to America. NO ALIMONY PENDING SUIT. Indiana Judge Makes New Ruling In Divorce Actions. South Bend, Ind.-Women who start proceedings for separate maintenance in the St. Joseph county superior court will not receive temporary support and assistance by order of the court pending trial, according to a judge made by George Ford, judge of the court. The decision is against all precedent in the state, but, according to Judge Ford, is in accordance with a recent statute. Local attorneys say the ruling will allow women on marriage to women who cannot prosecute their suits without an order of court compelling the husbands to support them meanwhile. TRAMPS 1,750 MILES WITH BURROS AS PALS Prospector Seeking to Start New Life Startles San Francisco. San Francisco—Harry H. Cloud, sixty years "young," with his camping outfit of two burros and a cart, has walked 1,750 miles across burning desert and rugged mountain to get a "start in life." And Mirandy Cloud has established the long distance walker's record for bites of ten months. Mirandy is one of Cloud's cloud, who abandoned his mining "prospect" thirty miles from Prescott, Aziz, spread his blankets in the shadow of the Tower of Jewels outside the exposition grounds. The glitter and glare of the exposition have never had a more colorful contrast than this picture of sturdy, sun bronze age in top boots and khaki. The "tenderfeet" of the city stood amazed. Traffic plied up on Market street as the cops up on from the desert plodded down the great business artery. Crowds followed. Men cheered. Babbies coed in glee. "Sell me the baby burro?" said a Miss Louise Burton. "Won't part 'er from 'er mother," replied Cloud. "I'll buy them both," said Miss Burton's sister Mabel. "How much?" "Ten thousand dollars," answered Harry. "Oh!" said the girls. Then they gasped again. "Well, these 'ere burros are my only pals," said Cloud. "Would you value a friend at less? I startin' after a fortune. I need it when I get old. An' I've got to have friends to help get it. If I have the ten thousand I won't need burros for friends. That's proved philosophy. Getap there, Jinnle!" OVERSIGHT SAVES HIS MONEY. Grocer Forgets to Take Cash Home, and Thieves Are Foiled. Marion, Ind.-When Jack Lines of Lines & Grosse, grocers, went home after closing the store he forgot to take with him the cash receipts for the day, about $400. Just after he retired some one knocked and shouted that his barn was burning. While Lines was away thieves searched his house from top to bottom. They made a away with all the change in Lines' clothing, and it is the belief of the police that he was first set on fire by persons who knew Lines was in the habit of taking the money from the store to his home each Saturday night. Separated Fifty-six Years. Toledo, O.—After a separation of fifty-six years Mrs. Helen McCollugh, a widow of, this city, has located her brother, J. D. Bingham, at Kaiamzoo, Mich, and has gone there to see him. Dyckman Farm House in Upper New York City Will Be Restored to Colonial Day's Condition—Only Dwelling in Manhattan Built in Accordance With Dutch Tradition. New York—One hundred years ago great herds of cattle browsed daily on what has become the city's newest recreation spot-Dyckman House park. Owing to an arrangement made by Park Commissioner Ward the old Dyckman farmhouse, which stands on this property at Two Hundred and Fourth street and Broadway, will be restored to the same condition in which it was in colonial days. Mrs. Bashford Dean and Mrs. Alexander McMillan Welsh, who have presented this house to the city, have not only given the surrounding park, but have agreed to improve it in accordance with the plans of the park department. Some incidents which figured have been furnished to Commissioner Ward by professor Bashford Dean, whose wife, Mary Alice Dyckman, is of the park donors. Professor Dean is curator of the collection of armor in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has been at pains to produce the picturesque and accurate account of the house and its inhabitants, which follows: The ancient Dyckman homestead, which stands on a knoll at the corner of Broadway and Two Hundred and Fourth street, is questionably the only house in question built by hattan Island built by a Dutch family in accordance with the past Dutch traditions. Times have gone by, and many changes have occurred. The last of the family bearing the name in the vicinity died recently in the person of Mrs. Fannie Blackwell Brown, widow of the mother of Dyckman, and herself of Dyckman descent in lineages. Her two daughters, Mrs. Bashford Dean, who was Mary Alice Dyckman, and Mrs. Alexander McMillan Welch, who was Fannie Fredericka Dyckman, have as the last of the Kingsbridge Dyckmans decided to perpetuate the old Dyckman house in memory of their parents. The Dyckman house in question was built in the war of independence, about 1785, and he go. It was then that the family returned to their lands after the perils of the war. Their ancient home, which had been built opposite the present one, nearer the river, had been burned down by the British. So a new house was built on ground which was somewhat higher and nearer the post road. James Dyckman and Dr. Jacobus Dyckman early in the lumbered college (1800-1811). Both died young, one a lawyer and the other a distinguished physician—he was health commissioner of New York, author and scientist. It was he who is said to have obtained for Columbia college when he was secretary of the old Philosophical society of this city the relics of Benjamin Franklin which it now has. Jacobus Dyckman, son of the builder of the college, was best known men in New York, long time alderman and a member of the constitutional convention in 1821. It was Jacobus Dyckman who took an especial liking to his young grandson, Isaac Michael Dyckman, which led ultimately to his coming to stay in the Kingsbridge household. He was then a boy of seven, the second son of Isaac Michael Dyckman, who had married Squire Caleb Smith of Yonkers. His so name was not originally Dyckman. The Dyckman estate was so large it required great care in upkeep. So it came about that Mr. Isaac Dyckman, the surviving bachelor uncle, looked ultimately to his nephew for help. At that time, it appeared, Mr. Isaac Dyckman, the surviving bachelor in his hands than any other single property owner of Manhattan has had before or since. At his death in 1888 it was found that his estate was to be divided among his various nephews and nieces. His favorite nephew, however, received the major share of the estate, and his name should be changed by the legal from James Frederick Dyckman Smith to Isaac Michael Dyckman. The latter did not retain the house as part of his heritage. It was no longer as he remembered it, and he had himself built a house in the northern part of the property not far from his uncle. In fact, the old house had changed inside and out. Even the old cook, black Hannah, who lived to be a hundred years had gone away—to the old Indian cemetery formerly on the corner of Broadway and Dyckman street. Then, too, Mr. Dyckman found that the approach of a great city meant heavy assessments and taxes, when, in order to have parts of his tract developed, he should practically make people presents of his leaseholds. Indeed, it was this Jan Dyckman who devised for this whole region the farmland plan of sitting tenants, what the future returns might be assured. One of his famous leaves gave a tenant a valuable farm for one hen a year for seven years! ENFORCE GRASS WIDOW RULE Civil Service Examiners Bar All Applicants of This Type. Washington.—The rule of the postoffice 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 the civil service roll married women. Gender and marital status 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 was correct, and were grass widows for cause and were grass widows by no fault of the own became a bone of contention, and all grass widows were barred. WED AFTER FIFTY YEARS. Sweetshearts 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 sweetshearts before the civil war and had not met in fifty years until the day before they were married. The bridegroom and the minor married him served in the same company in the army. Marcum's first wife died four years ago. His bride had a widow many years. GIRL IS DEPUTY CORONER. Miss Edison, Who Became Doctor in Juné, 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 saw a woman on her mountainous territory and is already pompier. As deputy coroner she will have to investigate all violent and suspicuous 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 "Senescence 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 disposition after long continued mental stimulation and death. 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 overcaring. 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 brain. From this comes the explanation of the fact that a story of the man who, recovering from 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 a hitter blow on the head, regains his reason. RICH WIDOW ADOPTS PASTOR Young Presacher With Family An- nouncees News From Bulletin Asbland, Ore.-The Rev. Arthur B.石灰stone, pastor of the Baptist church has, been adopted by a wealthy widow, Murea Alergus 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. Clarksville, 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 irregular movement attracts greater attention. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. YOUTH HIKES ROUND GLOBE. Grunwaldt Nears End of His Long Three Year Jaunt. Sacramento, Cal. — Alexander Grunwaldt, seventeen years old, was on the last leg of a jaundair around the world when he reached here. The boy said he left San Francisco in a vessel bound for Japan, 1934, and has been going ever since. All his trips were made over. He has paid his way by doing old jobs and selling photos of himself. His route was from Australia to Calcutta by water and then by foot to Bombay, a distance of 1,200 miles. He traveled to Africa and "hoofed" the 2,000 miles to Cape Town. He arrived in New York 25 last and started immediately to walk the 3,358 miles back to San Francisco. ALLEGED DRUNK WALKS LINE Returns on His Hands and Justice Promptly Dismisses Him. Nashville, Ind.-Justice of the Peace Duard Calvin has a novel plan of determining whether a man is drunk or sober. Marshal Reed arrested Lenville Copenhaver for drunkenness and took the man before the jus- ter. Copenhaver stored Calvin was entertaining a drink "warm" and for their entertainment drew a chai- line forty feet long and told Copen- haver to walk the line. The crowd gathered on each side of Copenhaver, and he walked the line without a misstep. At the far end of the line he stood on his hands and walked. Calvin, above the roar of laughter, told Copenhaver he was dismissed. GOES BROKE ON HONEYMOON. Mishaps to Auto Put Bridal Pair in Straits on Tour. Muscatine, Ia.—To be owner of a large seven passenger touring car, with which you embarked upon your honeymoon, and yet be forced to apply to a welfare society for lodging for the night, we be embarrassing to most bridegrooms, but it didn't take any of the joy out of life for George Garrett of Elkhard, Ind., and his bride, who reached here en route to Seymour, Ia. A series of mishaps drained Garrett's purse, and upon his arrival here he was forced to "hock" his extra suit to buy gasoline and, with his wife, was boarded at a local hostelry at the expense of a local charity body. GOLDEN WEDDING PAIR RETURN TO OLD HOME Names Carved When Sweet-hearts Still Remain. Peabody, Kan.—For their golden wedding Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Lowther of this city went back to their old home in the West Virginia hills, which they had not visited since they were married, fifty years ago. They joined the trek to the Kansas prairies before the Santa Fe railroad ran further west than Emporia, and the trip to Marion county was made in a prairie schooner. Here the Lowther took up a homestead and lived, rearing cattle, and farming, eight boys and three girls, and they never went back to their old home in Richie county, not even to visit. But for the fifteenth anniversary of their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Lowther decided to return to their old home. They were sweethearts when the civil war broke out. For four years the Virginian wore the blue uniform of the federals. When peace was declared the war took to his sweetheart, who had waited for him. The trip to the altar followed. And later they came west. Writing from West Virginia to her son Mort of Peabody the other day, Mrs. Lowther said everything had changed back there. Even the hills had got higher than fifty years ago. But she came back in which she was reared and lived, where were the old well, the old oak bucket initials of herself and Mr. Lowther which had been carved fifty years ago. HEN LAYS PEANUT EGG Puzzle Now is, Would its Chick Have Been Wasp Waspied? Indianapolis, Ind.—There is some question as to which of his hens had such a grotesque idea of what an egg should look like, but anyway an egg that bore the general contour of a peanut and is a bit less than two inches from tip to tip was found in Robert Arnold's hemostoot. The kind of chicken that ultimately would have emanated from such an egg will remain a matter of mystery, for the egg was eaten. But Arnold now feels sure it would have been a fowl with a wasplike waist. WATCHED ANKLES. IS SUED. Husband Also Had Sixty-three Girl Friends, Mrs. Moegling Says. Cincinnati, O.-Because she could not keep her husband home on rainy evening, she insisted on standing on the downstairs balcony as she crossed the streets, boarded or got off the cars Mrs. Ethel Redmond Moegling filed suit for divorce from Richard B. Moegling. She charges that her husband used a child's keeping trace of his "hady friends" who gave the names of sixty-three. $2.40 PER YEAR. DREYFUS AT LAST GETS VINDICATION Given Command After Twenty Years of Degradation. ACCUSED AS A TRAITOR. Was Incarcerated on Devil's island on Charge of Selling Secrets to Germany—World's Famous Case Rent French Nation In Two In Bitter Wave of Anti-Semitism. Paris—the restoration of Major Dreyfus to active command in the French army at this time, when his country is at war with her arch enemy, must be looked upon as the most complete vindication of the French artillery officer from the charge that at one time he sold secrets to Germany. The Dreyfus case has several times excited France to the verge of revolution. It has overthrown ministries, incited anti-Semitic fanaticism and provoked extravagant glorification of the army. Three conditions prevailing in France in 1894 led to the accusing and condemning of Captain Alfred Dreyfus for treason on the allegation that he sold military secrets to the German government. The first and underlying cause was a violent agitation against Jews. The second was the discovery that somebody was furnishing information about army plans to Colonel Schwarzkoppen, the German military attacke in Paris. The third was the personal unpopularity of Captain Dreyfus among his association of the general staff with a ready unscrupulousness on the part of certain officers to manufacture evidence to bear out their prejudiced theories. MAJOR ALFRED DREYFUS AS HE LOOKED AT TIME OF HIS TRIAL led to a concentration on the brilliant Jewish officer, his accusation, his quick trial and his deportation to horrible imprisonment on Devil's island, off the coast of South America. In the Dreyfus case the mills of justice were grinding slowly indeed, but they were grinding surely. It took twelve years formally to establish an innocence in which the world at large long believed. Alongside of Dreytus, the martyr, have stood two heroes whose names deserve to be indelibly linked with the love of truth and justice. One of them was Emile Zola, most noted of modern French novelists. For simple love of the heart he dared to take up the cause of a condemned man and defy government and army in his famous letter beginning "I accuse." For fortune, fought duels and suffered months of imprisonment because he dared proclaim the guilt of his brother officers in condemning an innocent man. It was he who discovered the forgeries and the crimes that convicted Dreytus and he who had the courage to stand for the truth. He was cashiered in disgrace, but the officers who suffered about his restoration. Without the discoveries made by Colonel Picquart while chief of the intelligence bureau of the army it is doubtful whether the innocence of Dreytus ever could have been established. In 1890 the courts ordered the prisoner brought back to France for retrial. The session began at Rennes in August before a court of seven officers, presided by Colonel Jonquet, prisoner, like one raised from the dead, made a great appearance. Labor, his lawyer, made a brilliant case and won great fame. Dreyfus was freed, but not rehabilitated. The verdict of the court martial left him under suspicion. He refused to accept the judgment as final. He must have complete vindication and be restored to the same plane of innocence on which he stood before the accusation of 1894. This was given him seven years later when the supreme court of the republic annulled the verdict of the Rennes court martial, and then he was given the rank of a major in the army.

"THE BIRTH OF A NATION." The representative of THE APPEAL was present at the complimentary presentation of "The Birth of a Nation" at the Auditorium last Tuesday evening, and we unhesitatingly and unqualifiedly declare that we failed to discover one redeeming feature in it, or, a plausible reason for its existence, other than that it is a fine example of the perfection that has been reached in presenting moving pictures. But it does not engender one good thought that is not banished by the horrible mass of ill feeling, race and sectional prejudices which it, with goulish glee, delves into the channel houses of the buried past and brings to view the grimning skeletons that would much better be left to molder and decay. Nor, is it historically correct, except in a measure, and almost everything touched upon is outrageously exaggerated. It, however, certainly has the effect desired by the despicable author of the book from which it was inspired. How any human being who possesses the slightest belief in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, can derive one lota, of pleasure from viewing such scenes as are depicted, we are unable to realize, for it certainly was bred in sin and born in iniquity and should not be permitted to be exhibited.

THE ONLY SOLUTION. 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 resolve 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 Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "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 travelling 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 'raken 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 sell 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 differ greatly to-day, both North and South, upon this question; as a rule, the more civilized the white man, the THE MAN WO DARES I honor the ma scientious discharge to stand alone; th ant, intolerant ju demn, the counter may be averted, a friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w ances of relat 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. us climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of her Wilcox. 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 have the wrongness 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 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. 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 HYPHENATED AMERICAN. Oswald 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 self, 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 yearn it has been the custom to treat colored people as 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- aliens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing tendency among the colored people to 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 select 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 excoriation of the contemptible colored curs who continually praise the southern people and condone many of their infamous acts. It is not only contemptible but criminal. The extension of race prejudice in the North has been greatly aided by these fiends 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 Southland it is evident, that 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. The chivalrous Oklahomaans 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 National Association for 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. The growth of the organization has been phenomenal. Today it has fifty branches throughout the country and 7,000 members and the crisis, edited by E. B. DuBois has reached a circulation over 5,000. The platform of the association is broad 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 their rights as citizens, justice in all circumstances, city of opportunity everywhere. It favors and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or pervasive class or caste. It recognizes the race problem and no sectionalism. It leaves in the upholding of the constitution of the United States and its amendments, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of the aboriginal Negro crime, but still leaves the conditions which breed crime and, most of 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 have a social content. It has no other desire to exploit the race 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, DuBals: "We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with our leaf or by being willing to lull our friend to sleep in order to difference and present satisfaction. The American Negro demands equality—political equality—and he is never going to rest satisfied with anything more than this in no spirit of braggadoe, 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 peonies of shrewd capitalists and the possession of 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 to the so-called Church of Christ down to saloons and bootchacks to segregate, strangle and to give him the least possible chance to know and share civilization Dr. DuBois suggest five practical steps for action—first, economic co-operation; second, a revival of art and craft; third, education; fourth, education; fifth, organization. "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 we must go to the point of opinions, of time, of work and of money, but it is, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of freedom and efficiency. I thank God that we can afford to ports this association comes from colored hands. A still larger proportion must come, and we must not only support, but control, this and similar actions, and hold them unwaveringly 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 despised 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 our side? Ramona, a student leaders here in New York before assembled thousands could congratulate his people because only fifty-two-colored men and women have in one short year been hired and shot and killed. We can give 0-10,000,000 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 the treater or has the door of opportunity treated to him, protest and complain and protest again whether the world wants to hear us or not. We may not gain our ends. We must not give up 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 inaving it down I face a great cause, and inaving it down a great cause, if 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." When a race or an individual submits uncomplainingly to oppression, it is a practical demonstration that an individual is not worthy of freedom.

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 discouraging the use of the word "Negro." 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 realise that the most potential factor at work with them is bringing about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is inaccurate as applied to millions of cold 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, for anything noble or uplifting. Most hikers and explorers repudiate it. b. In African countries, it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. its derivatives, "Negrolism," "Negrae, Negrae compounds, Negro-head, Negro-fly, Negro-fly compounds, in their associations, degrading. d. its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweet wife, to favor the use of the mass culinary term. e. it has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man speaks of the worthy. For when he speaks of the race he invariably says "colored." f. it is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among other terms) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in culture and culture from the thought, sympathy us off from the millions of colored Africans, Asiatics 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 Journal) 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; they know many persons who live in the South, who know the colored race, with whom they have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers that race whom their Southern friend knew better known; and of the two sets of people who know that the second knew the colored race better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not know and appreciate; they know capabilities and contact with the best of the race which they know the vicious of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are those who know the colored race those who 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 judgments and possibly soften their evil qualities any rate, 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, with their abilities and in the clearest alms. 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 more geographical stalks or spots of people on a planet.

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 the bells ringing in their towers, by the 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 alike. I will not say of any one nation what 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 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 of war, especially of any duration, the colored man will be badly needed, but has he been trained or has he been encouraged to take up arms to fight in defense of his country? He has been disbanded and debarbed of many privileges that he justly his and which would embitter any other race but the docile Negro.

You are invited to call. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." Quite a number of colored people were invited to witness the private showing of "The Birth of a Nation" at the Auditorium last Tuesday night and all took advantage of the opportunity. And everyone who was present condemns it as a prejudice producer. When the first part had been shown, one of the promoters made a speech before the curtain and stated that was present at all of the openings of other cities and there had been no mac trophies. Jose H. Sherwood at once arose in the audience and declared the statements false, which is a fact, as everyone knows there was trouble in several places where the vicious film has been shown. Mr. Sherwood asked the audience to withhold judgment until the second half was shown. The second half was something horrible and should be eliminated. The Daily News on Wednesday contained interviews from Rev. S. L. Theobald, Dr. D. Turner, Rev. B. N. Murrell, Mr. S. Hall, T. Francis, Esq., and Rev. P. Sims, unanimously condemning the account of the effect its showing would have prejudicing the minds of people against the entire colored race. It is a shame that such exhibitions should be tolerated in this city. A strenuous effort has been made to prevent the showing of the film in its now how successful remains to be seen. The pictures in the illuminable pictures will be glimpsed. THE DOUGLASS RECITAL. At Pilgrim 'Baptist Church, Monday, Nov. 1st, Remember.

"Gasoline and naphtha can be made less dangerous for household use if the following six rules are observed," says Robert W. Hargadine, State Fire Marshal. 1. Never keep gasoline or naphtha in a glass bottle or other breakable container. 2. Never keep it near a fire or in a warm place. 3. Never rub any article in gasoline or naphtha, because these products are easily erupted. 4. The rule may be made in cleaning kid gloves stretched upon the hands, providing the rubbing is not done in the fluid, and is done in the open air. 5. Never press or iron goods that have been cleaned with gasoline or naphtha until they are thoroughly dead in the open air. 6. Never sprinkle gasoline or naphtha about the edges of carpets or kills moths. 6. Never keep a supply of gasoline or naptha in the cellar where the vapor from a possible leak might accumulate, but if it is absolutely necessary to keep the product in the house place the container on a shelf at least four feet from the ground. The observance of these simple rules will eliminate the hazards of handling these extremely inflammable products in the household, and none is expensive, onerous or impractical. A The End of a Perfect Day Eventide is one of the sweetest words in our language. To the laborer it means relief from the day's toil; to the man of affairs it means respite from the keen strife of business. It means the return to that haven of rest—the home. To the housewife it means her hour of triumph when she may gather around her those for whom she has made home a place of contentment. The evening meal is to her an occasion of cheer.
