FINGER TIPS AID EDISON TO HEAR FOOLS DISTINGUISHED BODY Assistant Keep Him Informed of Everything Said and Done by Means of Telegraphing Finger Tips That Touched Edison's Knee Under Table—Inventor Himself Tells of Haax West Orange, N. J.—Thomas A. Edison's friends who know of the inventor's deftness have been marveling at the success with which he presided at Washington of the new naval construction he was learned that Mr. Edison fooled 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 a telegraphing 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. He was then in insuperable companions they have 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. But recently when the inventor went to Washington to preside over the desistency the new board of which Secretary Daniel Kahneler the head, he was embarrassed for the fact that 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 boiling it down into fewer 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 Morse messages. Edison at the rate of thirty words a minute, the speeches were said to have been delivered in a more or less deliberate fashion he was able to keep up with 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 Luisa Cabello, an unusual woman suffrage demonstration, the first ever held in northern Mexico, was a number of Mexican women at Reynosa, ten-very miles from here. Miss Cabello peared garbed as a soldier and defied the authorities when ordered to resume women's apparel. She was told that, while the law per- mitted a woman to wear a coat, she could not appear in soldiers' trousers. A deputy was effected with the aid of a little dragon in the form of suffrage flags. CENSURE HARVARD BOYS' TALK It's Slander, Vapid War Chat and Persona- sonalities, Says College Paper. Cambridge. — Harvard students are accused of being frivolous, if not worse, in their table talk by the Harvard Crimson, every one of the thousand who eat in Memorial hall being included in the criticism. The editorial says: "One thousand men are each wasting three hours a day in intellectual dejection which might profitably be spent in cultivating intelligent thought." "Women, the war, athletics and personalities comprise the range of subjects. Among the first named virtue is apparently unknown. The weaker sex is subject to slandering remarks whose oak aim is to fill a gap in the conversation." When the talk wanders to the war some one says, "I hope those d—d—get likied," and the subject is closed. Even on athletics, where the interest is keenest, deserves remarks and blasphemes on Yale ever the main element. Interspersing everything are biased personalities on another's physical or mental qualities. A tone of affected cynicism crowns the whole." GIRL USHERS IN CHURCH. 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. Eventus Episcopal, 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 Rackmeyer, Emma Smith, Elin 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 two sisters, 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 Antonze, who is said to have been chef to the Emperor of France, came to this country when twenty-one years old, married 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 as 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 is peculiar characteristics, and thrift is a great virtue; he was frugal, he never allowed a genuine case of distress to go unreleived. 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 gambling 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. He never coming west was for Jim Powell, a cousin, near Fort Davis. He was a mere boy and received but $23 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 1880 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 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. An son nine years old will get most of it and will probably be the richest boy in Texas. THREE GEESE—COSTS $100. Ividow Wins Long Lawsuit, and Birds Sell For $150.

PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1915 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 had heard it from one of the cabinet member 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." I right there the president of the United States 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 muddubs 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 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 DEFEAT Unlucky Number Was Also Aided by Killing Bling Cat. California, Pa. — T. J. Underwood, comproller of Washington county, ascribes to "thirteens" his defeat as candidate for sheriff at the primaries. In the first place his name, Tom J. Underwood, contains thirteen letters. The license number of his yellow campaign car was 113. On Friday, August 13, white 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 necessary chemicals. He claims to have a diet that is most 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 chiders will suffice. The only use for the soil in Mr. Smith's process is to mix it just as a arellis supports the grapes or straws. This is why, Mr. Smith contends, it is possible to grow plants in absorbent cotton. He merely saturates the cation with a solution of the natural food for the plant it is intended to grow. Mr. Smith is negotiating with men who declares, are planning to commercially restore 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 provide you with carnations in lake sand. "It's easy." feeds with a smile, "when you know the food curations need." RATTLER'S FANGS MISS HIM. Snake Strikes Negro's Overalls and Can't Get Loose. Jefferson City, Mo.—A negro farm band 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 corr 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.

Mr. Grant drove to Delaware to see his children, whom he had not seen in forty-six years. 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 his arche enemy, must be looked upon as the most common 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 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 Schwarzkopen, the German military attacke in Paris. The third was the personal unpopularity of Captain Dreyfus among his associates of the genius of the French. These things, combined 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 slowly. It took twelve years formally to establish an innocence in which the world at large long believed. Alongside of Dreyfus, 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 truth he dared to take up the cause of a condemned man and defy government and army in his famous letter beginning "I accuse." For that he was sentenced to a heavy fine for imprisonment and the loss of his Legion of Honor button. He died into exile. The other man was Colonel Picquart, who sacrificed rank in the army, favor, 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 Dreyfus and he who had the courage to stand for the truth. He was cashiered in disgrace, but the rehabilitation of the chief sufferer brought about his restoration. Without the help of his brother, the quart while chief of the intelligence bureau of the army it is doubtful whether the innocence of Dreyfus ever could have been established. In 1899 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 over by Colonel Jonauat. The prisoner, like one raised from the dead, made a dazed and unfavorable 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 freed, the same as the innocence on which he was convicted before the trial 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 Defective Page SEVEN TEACHERS IN FAMILY.

GIRL FIGHTS WITH BURGLAR. University Student Leaps From Bed On to Intruder's Neck. Berkeley, Cal.-Miss Edna L. Reeves of Ukiah, a student at the University of California, battled for fifteen minutes with a burglar in her bedroom. Miss Reeves, awakened, saw the burglar crawling on all fours. She jumped from the floor, snapped neck. She called to Miss Laura Hamilton, her roommate, to guard the windows and then gave her undivided attention to the burglar.

Perk follows in the footsteps of Harold Tashbehn, who came from Indianapolis and has continued his remarkable record at the university. Perk is the youngest student ever matriculated at Chicago. POUNDS THE SPINE TO REDUCE LARGE HEART Contraction Usually Follows Quickly, Says Professor. Philadelphia. — Enlargement of the heart—the "athletic heart"—may be reduced by simply tapping the spine with a hammer, according to Professor Meyer Solis-Cohen of this city. He described the treatment in the New York Medical Journal. Of course it should not be attempted save by a physician. The tapping should be done, he says, on the "spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra" in English is the protruding vertebra in the spine at the bottom of the neck, a little above the shoulder line. To protect the spine from the direct shock of the blow Professor Solis-Cohen has usually used a rubber eraser or a piece of soft rubber or inoleum about six inches long, one and a half inches wide and about a quarter of an inch wide. Putting this deadener against the spine at the point indicated, he gives a series of sharp and vigorous blows with an ordinary hammer that has a rubber tip or with a jeweler's hammer. In an emergency he lays his fingers on the spine and then beats the fingers with his fist. This exercise on the spine is usually followed, he says, by a contraction of the shoulder muscles, which latter is the big artery that comes out of the top of the heart and supplies the entire body with blood. "I have been exciting this reflex," he says, "in many cases of dilated heart and norta in both private and hospital practice. There were several failures, chiefly in children suffering from endocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart) and resulting myocarditis (inflammation of the tissues of the heart) in which the heart and norta usually failed to contract on conclusion. "In most cases the response was marked, a lateral contraction of over an inch being usual and of over two inches being not uncommon." Of the cases treated and used as examples of the success of the method eleven were male and five female. One was under ten years of age and four were under twenty. Six were over fifty, one being seventy. Sixty-two, She Wants Divorce.

Veteran, Seventy-five, Kigged Up Dirt WHI: Price - $1,000.00 While Being Laid at Rest. Centralia, Mo. - James M. Hulen, who has just celebrated his seventy- fifth birthday, claims the distinction of being the only man who, after he was pronounced dead and had been buried, lived to tell the story. He was shot through the right eye with a 44-gun rifle during the civil war. He was pronounced dead, was buried, and the cloaks were rattling down into his grave when his foot kicked up through the dirt. The burial was stopped and Hulen removed from the grave. The other dead were buried, and presently the gravediggers came back, expecting to find Hulen really dead by this time. But his heart was still beating, and he was sent to a hospital. The experience occurred when Hulen was taken to the Coast Guard Cmdg. Company G, under command of lone Cockrell. The brigade was at New Hope, Ga., attempting to cut off Sherman's march to tilt sea. WEARS HIS CARD ON BROW Mexican Has His Name and Address Tattooed on Forehead. San Francisco. "What's your name?" demanded Assistant District Attorney Becsey of a Mexican charged with vagrancy. The defendant brushed back his hair, but did not speak. Becsey repeated his question. Same response. Then the Spanish interpreter tried. The man moved to a spot on his forehead. Becsey looked closely, and tattooed on the man's brow was, "Fred Harris, Sonora, Mexico." "What's the idea?" asked Becsey. BURY. "I have heart disease. I lie pro- deed.

Washington.-Twenty-six years ago a blind woman asked Postmaster General John Wanamaker to give her a job sewing mail bags. “Mr. Wanamaker” she said, “you give seeing people a two months’ trial. Will you give me that much time to prove I can do it?” He consented to give her a trial. Today you will find Miss Hattie Madison the man bag repair shop of the postoffice, with a pack of sacks reaching nearly to her shoulder. She is one of Uncle Sam’s best workers on mail bags. Slip In Making Up Estimates Cuts $196,000 From Pay. Washington.—In making up the navy department estimates for the ensuing fiscal year enough enlisted men were overlooked to make an aggregate of $196,000. It caused not a little consternation in the office of the paymaster general of the Navy. A board of four officers was appointed to go over the figures and locate the error, and it book them four days to do it. One year somebody overlooked all of the warrant officers assigned to duty in the engine rooms of our naval vessels. The amount involved on that occasion was $242,000. The error managed to pass undiscovered for a time. It finally got to the engine room crews, however, and they salaries were included in the estimates instanter not an engine in the navy would turn over. It did not take the powers that be long to discover the error and correct it. The marvel of officials is that so few errors occur in making up the estimates, when the innumerable governmental activities are taken into consideration. Usually when the book of estimates is finally completed in the treasury department from the department submitted by the several departments it is correct down to the smallest detail. SNAKES IN SCHOOL LOCKER Scare Girls, Who Now Pick Staps Because Some Escape. La Crose, Wils.-Normal school madmens are walking circumcibly since the discovery of a nest of so called water moccasins deposited in a locker by a reptilian mother evidently anxious to obtain education for her family. There was real excitement when the snakes reptiles was discovered. With the opening of the locker the snakes darted out and about the floor and there was a scramble. Some of the snakes met violent deaths, but several wriggled into holes of safety; hence the circumspection. Starts, Can't Stop Car. Hartford City, Ind. Ind.-John Holcroft, a farmer near here, bought an automobile and took it out to practice running it. He laid the book of instructions open on the seat beside him and just pushed the highway a gust of wind waffled the book of instructions, and he did not know how to stop the car. Holcroft was carried on, shouting to be told how to stop. Halfway to town, however, he ran out of gasoline. $2.40 PER YEAR. CONVERT CHINESE TO AID SUFFRAGE Woman Uses Native Flag In New York Campaign. Goes From House to House Telling Alien Inhabitants of Equality For Men and Women—One Chinese Voter Declares He Would Like Wife to Be an American Citizen. New York. — Miss Lavinia Dock of the Henry street nurses' settlement has undertaken to convert Chinatown to suffrage with Chinese flags. The psychology of the flag is an interesting study. It is hard at times to pierce the apathy, the stolidity of the alien inhabitants of a great city like New York and to arouse among them an interest in a cause not primarily and originally their own. But there is one universal, never failing method—and that is to display the flags of those foreign lands where they came. So Miss Dock unfurls a beautiful white silk Chinese banner bearing the votes for women message on both sides. A kindly missionary man and a cultured Chinese doctor help make the banner, which is attached to its standard by gay ribbons of old rose, light blue Photo by American Press Association. MISS LAVINIA DOCK. and bright yellow, these with black and white being the colors of the new Chinese flag. Flag in hand, the suffragists go out into the highways and byways with their message of equal political rights and responsibilities for men and women. "First class," said a smiling faced, prosperous looking Chinamen in well cut American clothes as he greeted the suffrage banner. "First class, I believe in that," he repeated, and other Chinamen smiling nodded assent. As the banner moves on pleased nods and bows greet its progress. Into a dark doorway and up the stairs marches Miss Dock, holding her suffrage banner before her. "Our nurses come here often to look after the children," she exclaims. Through a crowded kitchen and into a room in the front of the house she marched. "May we come in?" asked Miss Dock. A guttural sound signified assent. A young woman with a much embroidered and solemn baby looking like an infant mandarin sat at one end of a table between the windows. At the other window sat an older woman sewing. Both women embroidered and solemn clothes. Neither could speak English, nor could someone went out of the room and soon reenrolled, bringing her sister, a girl of fifteen, who goes to high school. She listened to Miss Dock a moment and then a smile broke out all over her face. Yes, indeed, she knew about the suffrage campaign, and she believed in votes for women. Then she turned and spoke to women her mother and sister-in-law, clearly their faces changed, the glumness, they beamed upon the callers. They too believed in votes for women; yes, indeed, and so did their husbands. Out on the street again and up into another house marched the Chinese banner with its message of equality for men and women. Here was a Chinese woman of high degree. Heless to all the traditions of old China, nevertheless, she promised the promise of the years to come, and she believes in equal suffrage. To be sure, as Miss Dock explains, there are not so very many registered voters in Chinatown, but even though they be but few they are going to receive the message. They are interested in it too. One full blooded Chinese voter born in this country expressed the new ideal for women as he sees it: "I would like my wife to be a citizen." Bee Sling Got In Her Toniil. Kingman, Ind.—Mrs. Edward Reath was the victim of an unusual accident when she was stung by a bee which she swallowed when eating grapes. The insect in its eagerness to suck out the pulp of the grapes had crawled inside the skin and was not discovered by Mrs. Reath until it objected to being made a Jonah and inserted its head into her throat. The toenail swelled hard, and the services of a physician were required to remove the stinger. AVE YOU READ THE APEAL? THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

Some misguided colored men in and about Washington are getting signers to a petition to President Wilson to have a jim-crow military ainex to Howard university because colored men are barred by prejudice from West Point and Annapolis. The men who are engineering this scheme are really asking that they be set apart from other Americans. They do not seem to realize that they are advocating the most dangerous form of segregation, because they are endeavoring to have the government stand sponsor for a plan which strikes at the very roots of citizenship. The military school at West Point is not closed officially and legally to colored youth, and even if it were the colored people ought to force it open. The president can appoint cadets and members of congress can also name them: The proper thing to do is to make an effort to have colored cadets appointed and not ask to be segregated. That would be an injury from which the race would never recover. There are colored men living who have graduated from West Point; why not try to get some cadets admitted?

And the colored people are Americans, not allens. As citizens they should have ALL of the rights of citizenship, and one of the rights is to have their sons attend West Point. That right has never yet been denied to them by law. Those who wish to enter should make their entrance through the proper channels. Every true American ought to frown upon all such efforts as the jim-crowists are making to segregate American citizens. AN EAST INDIAN'S IDEA. Dr. Krishna of the dethroned dynasty of India, scholar, literate, and intimate friend of Pierre Loti, Anatole France and other European brillants is in the United States, and his portrait of an American is nothing like the reflection the delighted gentleman draws from his own mirror. In a recent interview Dr. Krishna said: "The American lacks spirituality. He is material. He gives his wife of 40 $10,000. 'Now, you take a go to hell for what I care,' he tells her. I must have a little bird around that I can flatter and be flattered by.' And he gets his divorce." To this cavalier treatment of the lady of 40, the American adds a fawning for anything British, and an amusing ingenuity in twisting scriptures to condone whatever he wants to do, said the distinguished East Indian. Dr. Krishna, dark, polished, and of excellent diction, spoke with contempt of America's degeneration to a mere colony of England, gladly restoring the yoke that Washington and other heroes had cast off at great cost of blood. "England says, 'I must control the seas,' and America says, 'yes, it is right that you should,' and America supports her. And yet, in 1812, your country fought England for just the reverse principle. There was a man, by name George Washington, and you call him the father of this country because he demanded and, somehow, won a free home for his people. "Send us no more missionaries of Christ. I find that not a nation that proclaims Christ has not robbed another nation of its home. And you thank God and Christ for each conquest that brings the light to heathen peoples. "Who has made this war? It is the Christian nations. Is that the light that you would have us brought by Christianity? In "India the English have brought a heel of iron. There are thousands of our people starving, and yet we must support English bishops with handsome rings, carriages, automobiles, and heavy crosses of gold. If Christ was crucified on the cross these gold ones typify, then his followers are nothing aback in crucifying their weaker brethren on their little replicas."

THE COLORED MAN'S STANDARD ARDS. The Christian Register, the leading Unitarian publication of the country, prints so excellent an article on colored man's own standards that we are constrained to print extracts from it. : "White men have set standards for the colored man for many years. Dur- THE MAN WISE DARKS 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 ange of relativ 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. has climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- l serve the law, and our least disputes. e must speak and ight the wrongs of er Wilcox. ing slavery days the standard was mainly one of health and strength, a "good disposition" was also esirable; a "bad nigger" was harder to sell than one who would make no trouble. Taken altogether the standard of antebellum days for colored men was much the same as that for horses,—"warranted sound and kind," and at the rest. During the war, with the splendid record of black men as soldiers, the standard held up for them by the white man shifted, though only slightly. After the war, and after the Fifteenth Amendment began to operate, the white man gradually altered his expectation of what the black could be and ought to be. Whites differ greatly to-day, both North and South, upon this question; as a rule, the more civilized the white man, the readier he is, in judging the colored man, to see his great possibilities and his remarkable progress, as already shown. The subtler problem, and more vital to the colored people, is regarding the race's standards for itself in the various arts of civilization. And his most serious obstacle is—not the injustice of his white neighbors, evident and regrettable as that is, but the danger he continuously incurs of holding up low standards of attainment for himself. If he is to compete with the white man in business manufactures, arts, scholarship, and other pursuits, he must hold himself up to as high a standard of excellence as does the white man. As a rule, colored people do not quite "come up to this; they have the faults of their qualities; they are too easily satisfied with attainment which is distinctly second-rate in the world's Bradstreet. The colored musician, or painter, or artisan, or writer is too apt to measure himself by the many people below him in skill instead of keeping his eye fixed on the few who surpass him. For this reason it is good for a colored boy or girl to attend a school or college which white boys and girls attend. Well-meaning friends of the colored people have pitied 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." NOT NEIGHBORS—JUST AMERICANS. This is an opportune time to call attention to the fact that there are more than 10,000,000 native Americans who for many years have been treated as aliens because they are darker in complexion than the aliens who have become naturalized. The Supreme Court of the United States has recently decided that the efforts of the south to nullify their votes are null and void and that they are citizens indeed. The colored citizens are native Americans with several generations of American ancestors and there is absolutely no reason why they should be differentiated in any way from any 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- FATE OF COLORED PEOPLE IN OWN HANDS. "THE FATE OF THE COLORED RACE IS IN ITS OWN HANDS. YOU WILL GET YOUR RIGHTS WHEN YOU ARE FIT TO HAVE THEM; FOR WHEN YOU ARE FIT TO HAVE THEM YOU WILL TAKE THEM AND UNTIL YOU TAKE THEM YOU ARE NOT FIT TO HAVE THEM."—Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury in a speech at Faneuil Hall, Boston, Massachusetts, August, 1913, at Semi-Centennial of Fort Wagner. other citizens, native or naturalized. It is well to erase the hyphen and the word "negro" as a racial name for colored Americans ought to blotted at the same time, forever. PERSISTENCY WINS. One of the finest examples of persistence we have heard of lately, is that exhibited by Mrs. Martha Washington, a former slave, now residing in Cincinnati, Ohio. Though 72 years of age she has enrolled in the West night high school. She has been attending the evening classes from the first year they were organized, 15 years ago, and she says she will not quit until she has been awarded a diploma on merit. The superintendent says one will be given to her for persistence if for nothing else. There are lots of young people we know who could emulate her example with great benefit. ASSAILS U. S. INDIAN POLICY. Brigader General R. H. Pratt, founder of the Carlisle Indian School declares that the policy of the government in forcing the Indians to remain on reservations would deter their civilization for hundreds of years. "If there had never been an Indian reservation," he said, "and if we had never had an Indian bureau, the Indians of the United States would today be a thousand times better off than they are, and this country would not now be called upon to appropriate $10,000,000 yearly for the management or mismanagement of the bureau. "I say without hesitation or reservation that the true policy of the government should be to permit the Indians to attend our schools and to eliminate the purely Indian schools altogether. I would have Indians enter government employ, and I would assist them as far as possible in entering business life. That will accomplish far more than reservations will." What General Pratt says is good sound sense and applies to all other nationalities and classes. The plan of segregating any class of Americans is both morally and economically wrong. The white Americans who insist upon jimcrow cars, jimcrow schools, jimcrow libraries, jimcrow public parks, etc., etc., for colored Americans FATE OF COLORED PE "THE FATE OF THE ITS OWN HANDS. YOU RIGHTS WHEN YOU ARE FOR WHEN YOU ARE F WILL TAKE THEM A THEM YOU ARE NOT R Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury in Boston, Massachusetts, Au- nial of Fort Wagner. are traitors to true Americanism and the colored Americans who accept, without protest, the indignities and degradations forced upon them, have descended so low in the scale of humanity that there is no word in the English language to describe the depths to which they have gone. AMERICANS—THAT'S ALL. For many yearn it has been the custom to treat colored people as 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. For many years the South has opposed higher education and is not generally in favor of any kind of education for the masses, and to suggest that a colored person ought to receive a classical education is sufficient to throw a Southerner into hysterics. There's a reason. Rev. George H. Atkinson, president of the Albemarle Norman and Industrial Institute, Albemarle, N. C., is now in the North "raising funds" as so many other Southern beggars of various colors have done, prior to Rev. Atkinson's arrival. In a recent speech, the reverend gentleman said: "We believe if you educate a man in the South he will become dissatisfied and move to the North, where opportunities seem to be more numerous. His education, therefore, does not help the South. There can be only one solution of the race problem, and that is the right one—the absolute abolition of the color line. Any other settlement is temporary. No question is settled until it is settled right. There will be no peace in this country until the colored man has every right guaranteed under the Constitution. American Christianity is a travesty on the real article. The main object in the life of the average Caucasian-American Christian seems to be to hold his colored brother down. The word "negro" applied to the majority of the colored people is just as much of a lie after it has been capitalized as it was before. Be Americans. (From the Chicago Defender.) From Los Angeles comes the news that the authorities there are considering what to do in relation to three children, claimed to be of colored parentage on both sides, and yet showing neither in complexion nor hair, a trace of the Ethiopian.

If our friends on the other side but knew what a laughing stock they made of themselves in our eyes they would drop forever this question of color being a badge of inferiority, for did they but know it not a great power of laughter? Yes, Americans can truthfully say not a trace of dark blood courses through their veins. We who are 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 want, is one thing that is the most difficult 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 simon-pure white, and again there are thousands upon thousands who are so lightly tinged—but know it—they find little difficulty in going their way unmolested. But let their identity be discovered and they drop immediately in the eyes of the marrow and prejudiced far below their associates' standard. Which only goes to prove this bugbear prejudice isn't a 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 mother, for if 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 PEOPLE IN OWN HANDS. THE COLORED RACE IS IN YOU WILL GET YOUR FIT TO HAVE THEM, FIT TO HAVE THEM YOU WILL UNTIL YOU TAKE FIT TO HAVE THEM."—in a speech at Faneuil Hall, August, 1913, at Semi-Centen- colored people, if I can love them as I love the people of my own race, then I will know that our dream of brotherhood for all races may come true," says Miss Florence MacFarlane, delegate from London, England, to the New Thought Congress, which met in San Francisco recently.

Thousands of her race and sex have not only learned to love their colored brothers, but "to love, honor and obey them." (From the Richmond Planet.) When a race or an individual submits uncompromisingly to oppression, it is a practical demonstration that the race or the individual is not worthy of freedom. Of Haiti. Herald.) Do?

Miss Theola Ridley of 800 St. Anthony avenue on last Saturday gave a dinner party in honor of Miss Camille Cotton of Chicago. The menu for the dinner was very choice and dainty and the society buds that were present enjoyed it greatly. The guests were: Misses Gladys Waters, Helen Brady, Corinne Parsons and Edna Shul, of Minneapolis; Ruth Hunter, Martha Gonis, Lyle Utley and Ruth Charleston of St. Paul. After the dinner Miss Ridley took her guests to the Shubert theater, and this favor was fully as enjoyable as the dinner. One of the most artistic musical entertainments ever given in the city was conducted by Mrs. May Black-Mason at St. James A. M. E. church last Thursday evening. The church was comfortably filled with a critical and appreciative audience that was delighted with the entire program. One of the objects was to present Mrs. Belle Salters-Tyler and her sister, Miss Irene Salters, who have recently returned from a concert tour of the West covered with glory. The program included: Piano, Miss Albreta C. Bell; tenor, Mr. Lonnie Jackson; songs, Mrs. Belle Salters-Tyler; piano, Miss Aurelia Wheeldin; songs, Miss Aurelia salters; organs, Mrs. F. Rose-G. Strange; songs, Mrs. F. Celestin; reading, Mrs. Ethel Maxwell; bass, Mr. Earl Walker—Miss Albreta Bell, accompanist Mrs. Mason and each of the performers is entitled to great praise for the excellent unsurpassed affair. "THE MILITARY MAIDS." The Attraction at the Star Theatre Next Week. St. Paul will have its own burlesque show next week. John P. Kirk, manager Star theater, will present Sunday afternoon and every afternoon and evening during the week of Dec. 5, "The Military Malds," a big burlesque show that is out of the ordinary. The show belongs to Mr. Kirk. He can make it an ideal one for St. Paul burlesque patrons. An unusual feature of the show is the presence of three feminine stars heading an exceptionally good cast. They are Miss Lydia Jospy, "The Little Nightingale," and operatic singer of enviable reputation, Miss Blanche Baird and Miss Gladys Sears. A chorus of 20 beautiful, young and vivacious girls are announced to sing and dance unusual musical ensembles.

VAN HOOK FASHIONABLE DRESSMAKING AND LADIES' TAILORING PARTY GOWNS A SPECIALTY 3612 ELLIOTT AVENUE MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. BUY RED CROSS SEALS. When we realize that one person out of every four in America who dies between the ages of fifteen and fifty dies from tuberculosis, and that it is mainly through voluntary subscriptions' that the fight against the disease is initiated, we realize what the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals means to Minnesota. The economic loss to this state annually from tuberculosis is ten million dollars, which means that every one of us loses five dollars personally. Practically all of the 2,500 annual deaths from tuberculosis are preventable if taken in time and properly treated. When you buy a Red Cross Chien's suit you can "take time" and to eliminate the needless suffering and needless loss occasioned by the white plague in this state. Tuberculosis leaves more destitute widows and orphans than any other disease—Red Cross seals save families from misery. If Minnesota raises the fund which it should, it will mean that poverty will not prevent the proper treatment of tuberculosis victims. Adequate funds will make possible the real services physicians for diagnosis and treatment for a visiting nurse, and the provision of proper diet and open air living for the patient and protective care for the families of the poor. Of course we want our community to rank among the first in per capita seal sales this year. The way to do this is not to talk about it, but to buy seals. Let us put them on our calling cards, on our private and business correspondence, bills, packages and everything we hold. We hold the full end of the year. If each of us purchased one hundred seals, think of what our community and the state could do in ridding itself of disease next year! [Name] 73,000 Acres of.

Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscription expires, are considered as wishing to renew their subscription. Subscribers order a discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed, or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. Subscribers move to other places without the carrier and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber is responsible until express notice with payment of all arrears is made. --- A "Leads Them All" You take away the Crown, but it still remains the Peer of Bottled Beers.
