NATIONAL DEFENSE PIONEER Known as Fearless Advocate of Traditional Republican Principles—Also Recognized as One of Ablest Campaigners In United States. Far and away the most interesting phase of the national political situation is the movement that has brought Henry D. Estabrook, of New York and Nebraska, so prominently to the front as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. First spoken of as a possibility in connection with the presidency less than six months ago, Mr. Estabrook is today one of the leading candidates, with evidences of strength that are a source of concern to the friends of the other aspirants. He has made speeches in every important city in the East, Middle West, and Far West, an arduous campaign experience that has put him in good condition to meet the rigorous demands made on the head of a party's national ticket, and his friends in Nebraska and other States have formed Estabrook organizations and are going after national delegates in the most vigorous fashion. Impartial observers agree that this development of the Estabrook boom has no parallel in the political history HENRY D. ESTABROOK of the last 25 years, and they are beginning to inquire whether the popular demand for new leadership is actually so strong as to give this new man the greatest political prize over which men struggle. An All Around Big Man. Estabrook is a big man physically, mentally and politically. Quite six feet in height, erect, rugged, he would be a man of commanding presence in any gathering. His mental attainments are attested by his signal success in the practice of law and by the widespread interest in his every public utterance on governmental, economic and social problems. He has always been a student and when he discusses a subject he speaks with the authority of one who has mastered it. His conclusions are invariably sound, and, once he has arrived at them, they are proclaimed frankly and fearlessly, for he is essentially a man with the courage of his convictions. For instance, he has been one of the most drastic critics of President Wilson and the democratic administration, arranging them for their tariff law which bankrupted the federal treasury and which places the American farmer, the American manufacturer, and the American laborer at the mercy of foreign competition, and for a foreign policy which has destroyed the respect that the American flag and American citizens once commanded in every quarter of the globe. A Preparedness Pioneer: Likewise Mr. Estabrook was the first man prominently before the public to outline a concrete program of national defense, which he presented in an address before the American Bankers' Association September 8th last at Seattle, characterized by the Seattle Times as "one of the most remarkable addresses ever delivered in the Northwest," and he was the first Republican leader to point the way to the reunion and harmonizing of all elements of the party, his "Get-Together" plea before the McKinley Club of Omaha, Nebraska, inst October, having attracted widespread attention. From the time Mr. Estabrook opened the Republican National campaign in Chicago in 1896 he has been recognized as one of the ablest campaigners in the United States, and there have been few speakers in greater demand. The issues in the great contest of 1916, which is to restore the Republican party to the administration of national affairs, will be Protection, Prosperity, and Preparedness, in Mr. Estabrook's judgment, with "Get-Together" as the slogan for Republicans of every shade of opinion. He has been preaching this gospel in all sections of the country, and has met with enthusiastic receptions everywhere he has gone. ROOSTER KILLS CHILD. Fowl Attacked Los Angeles Lad, Who Was Feeding Chickens. Los Angeles, Cal.-John M. Seaman, two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Seaman of this city, is dead at Ontario following an attack by a large rooster at the ranch home of the child's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. V. Lawrence of that city. John and his mother visited at the ranch. The chickens were a novelty to the boy, and he was anxious to feed them. With prodigious bravery that was thought only childishly cute he accomplished his desire. A few days ago he was so engaged when a large rooster jumped at the little fellow and buried its spurs deeply in his scalp. Blood poisoning developed, and the child died in a hospital after much suffering. "MISTAKE" MADE $2,500. War Brings Profits to Gamer, Who Ordered Too Much Chloride. Parsons, Kan—Anton Gamer, a dry cleaner, through a mistake ordered 100 instead of ten gallons of carbon tetra chloride to be used in his cleaning process last February, paying $1.29 a gallon. He attempted to persuade the drug company to take back the ninety gallons, but it refused, and he figured he had lost over a hundred dollars in the transaction. The war in the meantime caused the price of the chemical to soar, and recently the chemical company of whom he bought the order paid him $30.15 a gallon for the ninety gallons it refused almost a year ago. Gamer netted a profit of more than $2,500. St. Paul.—Raise up a cow in the way she should go, and before she is old she will richly reward you. C. N. Nelson, who lives just over the Anoka county line, a few miles from St. Paul, says. Thirty-two years ago, when he, was in the early twenties, Nelson landed in Minnesota fresh from Sweden. His total assets were 50 cents and the contents of a queer looking Swedish clothes chest. Half an hour after his arrival he was 50 cents poorer. "When I got off a train in Minneapolis all I had to direct me was a card bearing the address of a cousin who had come to America a short time before," Mr. Nelson said. "I showed the card to a hackman, who also was Swedish. He took my 50 cents and drove me a few blocks, pointing to one of the windows, marked 444, said, 'There it is.' I had supposed that the 'box 444' written on the card was a street address. I did not know how my cousin was to appear from that box, but I stood with eyes glued on the number from 10 o'clock in the morning until the middle of the afternoon, afraid to look elsewhere for fear my cousin would come in the meantime. "When at last I heard two men at one of the windows talking my language I told them my story. They explained that I was in the postoffice and that my cousin might not go there for several days. I should have been in a bad fix had not one of the men invited me to come and do odd jobs at his boarding house and earn my keep. "My cousin did not come to town for three weeks, and when he did he did not help me because he could not. He had all he could do to earn a living. "Then I worked in a railroad construction camp one summer and returned to the city with the intention of going to school and learning English. My first employer agreed to give me my board for helping with the milking, but I had not gone to school many days when he met with an accident. He persuaded me that I would learn English faster driving a mills route than by going to school, so I became a dairyman and worked until I had saved $1,000." JUDGE A MODEL MAN. Eighty-four and Promised Lincoln Not to Smoke, Chew, Drink or Lie. Chester, Pa.—Federal Judge Simeon Woodrow King of Chicago, who paid a visit to relatives in this city, is a remarkable man. He is in his eighty-fourth year and has never been sick a day in his life. He was appointed judge for the United States court for the northern district of Illinois when he was twenty-one years and six months of age by President Abraham Lincoln and has been sitting as a jurist all that long period. "I have kept the promise I made to Abraham Lincoln." Judge King says "and that promise was that I would never smoke or chew tobacco, never touch liquor and never tell an untruth." Fifty Years Near Father; Didn't Know. Columbus, Ind.-Mrs. Margaret Jane Cathers, eighty, of near Newbern, has just learned that she is a daughter of Drewery A. Massey, 108 years old, who recently died in Rush county, and that she lived within fifty miles of him for half a century without knowing his whereabouts. THE APPEAL CIGAR SMOKE COST $450. Received it From a Strange Man and Then Was Robbed. Muncle, Ind.-The most expensive cigar that Joseph Cegelka, a Muncle Romanian, ever smoked cost him exactly $450, according to his story as related to the police. A man giving his name as John Adams was the cause. The two met at the boarding house of Mrs. Martha Jones. According to Mrs. Jones the men were in the same room in her place for an hour or more. Finally Adams left the house alone. Eventually Cegelka reported to the police that he had been robbed of $450 after having smoked a cigar given him by Adams. The police-believe the cigar was "doped." CLOCKS TELL OF THEFT. Stop When Culprit Breaks Circuit of Electrical System. Seattle, Wash.—Many instruments recorded the exact moment of a theft at the University of Washington, but gave no definite information as to the place in which it was committed or the identity of the thief. Officials determined that the theft had been committed in an unoccupied building on the campus. At 3:40 o'clock in the afternoon all the clocks in the university's electric system stopped. The master clock was found to be running, and search the next morning revealed that the circuit had been broken in the empty cottage, where the timepiece had been torn from the wall. The thief had also taken part of the telephone. GERARD'S WIFE WINS PRAISE IN GERMANY Appreciation Shown For Her Efforts In Feeding Aliens. Berlin.—Mrs. Gerard, wife of the American ambassador here, is appealing to her friends at home for funds to carry on the American relief kitchen of Berlin, which has daily fed some 200 women and children, the families of men who are aliens in Germany and therefore placed in concentration camps, following the action which Great Britain and France took in the internment of aliens in those countries. The American Association of Commerce and Trade in Berlin gave the money to run the kitchen for six months when its doors were opened last year in the quaint little building in the Schlesische strasse, where Mrs. Gerard and her committee of American ladies found an unoccupied house in the factory district of the east side. Mrs. Gerard herself gave the coal supply for the winter, so that the place was kept open all afternoon, many of the women and children having no other place where they could keep warm. The money was spent so economically that $1 furnished seven wholesome meals. This winter the enterprise is without funds, and the doors of the American relief kitchen have not been opened to the crowds of hungry, poorly clad women with babies in their arms and clinging to their skirts who mournfully stand around and gaze through the windows. Long purses and generous ones among the American colony have been taxed to the utmost by the charity needs arising from the war, and Mrs. Gerard has won appreciation not only in Berlin, but throughout Germany for her large contributions of money and the devotion of almost all of her time to the alleviation of distress. On Nov. 11 the German government sent her Red Cross decorations of the first and second class to commemorate her services in connection with the effort to help German prisoners of war in Russia. JAIL EMPTY 120 HOURS And Minnesota "Dry Town" is on the Way to Goodness. East Grand Forks, Minn.—The remarkable record of a tenantless jail here for 120 hours recently was broken when J. W. Lafferty, a transient, was arrested on a charge of passing a fraudulent check. The city's police force has been cut in half as a result of the arrival of the dry regime. The drought here also had affected Grand Forks, N. D., where there had not been an arrest for drunkenness for more than a week, and the mayor of that city also contemplates a considerable reduction in the police force. Gained 100 Pounds In Jail Salem, Ore.-After serving fifteen years in the Oregon state pententary for the murder of Nathan Wolfe, a pawnbroker, Edward H. Martin, who says he is a former student of Fordham college and a graduate of the United States Military academy at West Point, was released recently and, accompanied by his wife, left for New York to visit his parents. When released he weighed 200 pounds. When he began serving his sentence he weighed 100. He always protested his innocence. Woman Carries Mail. Neosho Falls, Kan.-This town now has a woman rural mail carrier. Mrs. Lessie Reynolds has been appointed substitute to her husband, Logan H. Reynolds, and covers her route of twenty-four miles every day in the usual time. THOS. FRANKSON. First to File for Republican Nomination for Lieutenant Governor. Mr. Frankson, Minnesota real estate dealer, and former representative from Fillmore county in the sessions of 1911, 1912 and 1913, is the first candidate to file for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. In announcing his candidacy Mr. Frankson informs the voters that he stands squarely for the following: Good government conducted on economic and businesslike principles. Strict economy in the appropriation and disbursement of public money. Fair and equitable system of taxation. Rigid enforcement of the laws. Good roads. Progressive legislation consistent with the needs and requirements of the people. For a greater Minnesota; for the rapid development of the agricultural and commercial interests of the entire state. Mr. Frankson is a Scandinavian, and was born in 1869 on a farm in Fillmore county on which his father located in 1854. He received his education in the public schools, taught school thirteen terms and later graduated from the law department of the State University with the class of 1900. He practiced law two years and then engaged in the real estate business at Spring Valley, Minn. He now has large real estate interests in both Northern and Southern Minnesota, and is also heavily interested in real estate in the Twin Cities, having offices in Spring Valley, Glenwood and St. Paul. He is in close touch and thoroughly familiar with the needs and conditions in all parts of our state, and his friends throughout the state consider him an ideal man for the office he seeks. Mr. Frankson has always been a booster for Minnesota. His motto has ever been, "A Rented Farm Is Not a Home," and the energy with which he has brought this motto home to the farmers of Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio has been the means of bringing to Minnesota thousands of farmers from those states who are prospering with the ever increasing prosperity of our great commonwealth. HEN LAYS PEANUT EGG Puzzle Now Is Would Its Chick Have Been Wasp Waited? 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 henroost here. 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, Mr. Maeong-Suen Friends, Mrs. Moegling Says. Cincinnati, O. —Because she could not keep her husband home on rainy evenings, as he insisted on standing on the downtown street corners watching girls she crossed the streets, boarded or got off a bus. Ethel Redmond Moegling fled suit for divorce from Richard E. Moegling. She charges that her husband used aipher system in keeping trace of his "hady friends," of whom she gave the names of sky-three. MEMORY BACK, SPEECH GONE Man Tells Strange Story of Being Lost Since Boer 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 Boer war, Sergeant 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 Duwamish 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. INDIANS GOOD FARMERS. Developed as Such More Last Year Than Ever Before. Washington—The development of agriculture and stock raising among the Indians has been greater in the last year than ever before, according to the annual report of Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs. Love of home and domestic happiness are becoming at last a more marked trait of the Indian. A special effort is being made to better the condition of the Papago Indians, who are in southern Arizona. The children are to be taught the A B C's. "The Papago," says the commissioner, "are among the most deserving of any people I have ever known. Their home for more than 200 years has been in the driest desert in the United States. "Under these circumstances they have demonstrated that the genius of necessity works out wonderful things. The Papagos have made their struggle unassisted, and their accomplishments, in view of their tremendous obstacles, are marvelous." MEDAL FOR OBSTINACY. Two Farmers Are Entered in the Contest in Kansas. Kansas City.-Two of the most contrary men in Kansas are boasted by Smith Center. Last fall one man refused to pay the price asked by cornhuskers and vowed he would let his field rot before he would yield. Now the field, containing about 2,000 bushels of grain, still stands and is grown up with a dense crop of sunflowers. The other contrary man is a neighbor of the first. He husked 1,000 bushels of his crop, stored it in an uncovered crib and said it would remain there till it brought him 75 cents a bushel. It is still there, but ruined by the season's heavy rains. FARMER'S IDEA SAVES HIM TIME AND MONEY FARMER'S IDEA SAVES HIM TIME AND MONEY Uses Pipe to Send Wheat From Plateau to Market. Wenatchee, Wash—Instead of hauling his wheat eighteen miles over a bad road, as he did formerly, James Keane of Rock Island is now letting the grain slide into market through a galvanized iron pipe. The former method cost from 15 to 20 cents a bushel to market. By this latter way the grain can be handled for 2 cents a bushel. The new system has been in operation for a couple of years and bids fair to continue, at least until the natural law of gravitation is abolished. Keane owns land which lies on a large plateau over 2,000 feet above the little town of Rock Island. It has always been expensive for the farmer to drive a long distance to get off the plateau and back into town, and as the road wound around the side of the bluffs it was very rocky and dangerous. Two years ago the iron pipe idea came to Keane. He purchased and installed 2,000 feet of two inch galvanized iron piping, and the saving the first year paid for it. The pipe runs from Keane's west field down a steep hill to within 400 feet of the warehouse in the town. When he wishes to take two or three loads of wheat to market the grain is poured into a large sheet iron hopper fitted over the top of the iron pipe line. The grain runs along merrily through the pipe to the town, where it is received at the rate of about a sack a minute, which is as fast as it can be handled. To save more time and money Keane has attached an apparatus known as the "sacker" from a thrashing machine to the town end of the pipe line, which automatically receives, sacks, and weighs the grain. A man does the sewing. Keane has a monopoly on the big plateau, which embraces about 5,000 acres of tillable land. Last year he planted most of it and harvested nearly 100,000 bushels of wheat. The land lies exposed to the periodically hard winds that frequent this part of the state during the summer, and there have been years when part of the wheat crop would be piled in high drifts of dirt. When the season is favorable few farmers are more handily located than Keane, with his pipe line marketing method. SILVER DOLLARS BY MAIL. Ten, Sent One Year Apart, Have Gone Through Without Fail. Federalburg, Md.-About ten years ago Henry P. Wright of Aberdeen began sending to his sister here, Mrs. Mary Fleetwood, a silver dollar through the mail as a Christmas present. Recently the annual dollar arrived, with Mrs. Fleetwood's address on one side and a two cent stamp on the other. In the ten years that Wright has been sending these unique remembrances to his sister not one has been lost or stolen, neither has it failed to arrive on time. Helfers Chase Rabbits Pennsburg, Pa.-If a new idea of a Sunneytown farmer becomes a fad the rabbit dog may be pushed into the background. He has trained some of his heffers to scent and chase rabbits with as much success as dogs and, indeed, more cheaply. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. IN FAVOR OF CONSCRIPTION. America Should Adopt System, Says Harriet Stanton Blatch. Washington.-Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, president of the Woman's Political union, favors conscription. She says: "I am of the opinion that America should adopt the only democratic national defense possible—conscription. "I would have conscription on a plan somewhat similar to that enforced in Switzerland at the present time—an enlistment of two months at first, to continue for shorter periods each year—a system that would harmonize all sections of our country. In my opinion we want to be made a much more homogeneous people, and therefore those that enlist from the east should be sent to the west and those from the south sent to the north, and a perfect understanding would be brought about between various sections. "This conscription imposed upon men should also be obligatory for women, who as citizens, but not as soldiers, should know how to efficiently do their share in coming to the aid of their country in time of calamity. "Girls should be forced to train in various departments of the civil service, in the postoffice, in all the municipal departments, and to women I would apply the same ideas as to the men—that is to say, send them to various parts of the country, so that they may get a wider knowledge of their home land." CHASED 20 CENTS 20 YEARS Tells Court Bank Owes Him That Sum Since 1895. St. Louis. — A claim of 20 cents against the Mullanphy bank was presented in Circuit Judge Kinney's court by Gottlieb Kling, who declared that the money had been due him since the bank went into the hands of a receiver in 1895. United States Senator Stone, receiver for the bank, was present to listen to claims presented in order to make a final settlement. Three claimants appeared. They were Kling, Mrs. Christina Meyer, who claimed $3.02, and Mrs. Mary Schwartz, who claimed $62.08. DON'T ASK FOR APPLE PIE IF YOU'RE INDIAN Carlisle, Pa.—When one realizes that if a Chippewa Indian boy has to ask his mother for a piece of tah-tah-me-she-mah-ske-ne-si-gah-ne-we-ko-bew-kwa-she-gan when he wants apple ple it may be understood that the seemingly cumbersome names carried by many of the Indian students at the Carlisle school are really not so burdensome to the redskin as would first appear. Among names on Carlisle's list of students are such as Katie Ownn-my-horses, Nancy Kicks-the-iron, Frank Smells-the-log, Edward Dismount-twice, Delph Essen-to-hate, Flora Well-known and Henry Knocks-off-two. The longest name on Carlisle's list of students is Owen Woothtakewability and the shortest Jo Dog. That odd names have not entirely passed away is evidenced, for instance, by the following names taken off the students' roll, being surnames, having reference to parts of the human body: No-shin-bone, Spread-handa, Short-neck, Eye-lash, Silver-heals, Roman-nose, Red-neck, Mumble-head, Yellow-kidney, Yellow-face, Wounded-eye, White-face, White-head, Powder-face and Two-hearts. There is a scattering of popular names at Carlisle, including such names as Abe Lincoln and David Copperfield. BIG MONEY IN JUNK. Oregonian Firm's Report Shows $23,000 Was Made In Eight Months. Eugene, Ore.-The junk dealer's job isn't such a bad sort of occupation, according to the statements of one Eugene junk firm that shipped its eleventh carload of junk collected in and around Eugene in the past eight months. The shipment went to Seattle. Two men with a rickety wagon have done this collecting, and the results have included eleven tons of rubber, nine tons of brass and thirteen tons of copper and other metals. Receipts were more than $23,000. FINDS $610 IN TIN CAN While at Play Bloomington (III.) Boy Unearths Treasure. Bloomington, Ill.-George Chamberlin, a boy, while playing near an old barn in Streater, unearthed a tin can which contained $610 in gold and bills. The property was turned over to the estate of Mrs. Alice Riley, who was the owner of the property. As Mrs. Riley is dead and no one has claimed ownership, the finder has entered suit to recover the treasure. Calf Without Legs or Tail. Hickman, Ky.-C. G. Higgs, a farmer near here, says that one of his cows gave birth to a "calf and a half," or two calves. One is perfectly normal in every respect, while the other baby bovine was minus legs and tail. Its head and body were of normal size. The "half calf" died, of course. $2.40 PER YEAR FREAK NOTESSENT TO A GOVERNOR ASKS BOUNTY FOR TRIPLETS Mother Seeks $500 From the State For Children—One Writer Wants Governor to Collect a Bill, Another Submits Poetry for Criticism, and Another Sends a Threat. Madison, Ws.—Freak letters always are interesting even though they sometimes bring a message of pathos that gives us pause. Badger executives seem to be recipients of an undue proportion of such missives, but Governor Philipp, since he has filled the office, has sought to read them with consideration whenever possible. Some of them, however, are impossible. For instance: A man up in Clark county says a widow living next door with six children allows them to stone his cow and wants the governor to put an end to such outrages. Believing the state allows a bounty of $500 for birth of triplets, a Grant county mother is out for money. Writing to Governor Philip, she makes known her quest, stating she believed she was the only woman in the state to bear triplets. Dr. C. A. Harper pointed out that in 1914 Photo by American Press Association. GOVERNOR PHILIPP. four cases of birth of triplets were recorded and an equal number last year, while in 1913 there were twelve such births. The governor referred the letter to Dr. Harper. A Milwaukee dentist wants the governor to collect some of his uncollected bills. The executive referred him to the courts for relief. A chap in New York referred two poems, one on neutrality and the other on evolution, to Governor Philipp for "poetic criticism" and such changes as the governor's poetic mind might suggest. The latter, it is understood, turned them over to his literary adviser, Executive Clerk Charles Stewart, the well known Shakespearean scholar. A Mormon from Salt Lake City wasted 8 cents in the coin of the realm to send Wisconsin's political head a copy of a song set to music "for correction." The title was "For Our Uncle Sam." it is understood the governor shifted the burden of reply on Lawrence Whittet. "As one of the elect chosen by God, Jan. 1880, and as a lineal descendant of Elijah," a Kansan asks that the mixed marriage law, prohibiting marriage of brothers and sisters, fathers and daughters and sons and mothers, be repealed and that the governor give his aid to the movement. He says he has written about twenty governors, whom he specified, asking for their cooperation. He also sent his message to McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson and complains they withheld their co-operation. He says this marriage law is responsible for the war in Europe, which is a case of God visiting his punishment upon mankind for creating such statutes for man to observe. A lunatic in an asylum wrote that if they let him out he will be able to expose a score of murderers. A blackmaller's letter threatened the governor if he did not do certain things and hinted at a "box" to be left in the executive office. The governor answered that he would be prepared for the mysterious box and intimated that undoubtedly it would contain nitroglucerin. He thanked the crank for his advance warning, which gave him opportunity for preparation for the higher life. The letter was turned over to the authorities. Two Families, Twenty-three Children. Alameda, Cal.-In one block in Alameda there are two families which have a total of twenty-three children. Mrs. W. T. Bonney several days ago gave birth to twin sons, the twelfth and thirteenth children in the family. Two of the progeny have passed away, leaving eleven. Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Cavanaugh, whose home is a stone's throw from the Bonney domicile, are the parents of twelve children. Bonney is sixty-three and his wife thirty-seven.

PREJUDICE No people on earth know better than the colored people of this country do, what prejudice is; but Nathan Straus in the New York Times has some idea of it. He says: "It is easy to create, it is hard to destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its perceptions are false. It sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It natures lies and rejects truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy. It rules those who give it life. It is a conjured Frankenstein, dominating millions of men. It sits beside the gates of life and takes toll of all that pass. "It is the conservator of all that reason would destroy, the destroyer of the works of justice. It is the hand-malden of error, the nemesis of knowledge. It feeds fear and poisons hope. It lives by the law of the dead. It thrives upon the meat of yesterday. It sickens on the sustenance of today. "It is the anarchist of the heart. It smothers faith. It gives love to the torch. It beneaths benevolence and shuns communion. It stills the sound of music and palsies the hand of art. It betrays belief and sets suspicion on a throne. It rejoices in tears. Its mirth is in misery. --- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cover The human race has test. Had no voice be injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide on The few who dare speak again to right many.—Ella Wheel To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "It is the monster of the mind. It pollutes thought, serves despair, and ravishes right. It offends against fact and is a stranger to logic. Its soothing is in sophistry. It divides the unreal and walks in the way of phantoms. It drains the potions brewed by witches of the brain. It is a thing of charms and amulets. A REAL PHILANTHROPIST One of the most pleasing things we have heard of lately is contained in the will of the late Andrew Freedman of New York, the bachelor who left an estate valued at $7,000,000, the bulk of which is to be used eventually for the establishment of a home for the aged on original lines which the founder himself had formulated. It will be known as the Andrew Freedman Home. It will receive aged persons in indigent circumstances without regard to race, sex or creed, and especially will it care for old couples who, in the evening of life might otherwise be forced to live apart. Mr. Freedman selected twenty-four persons, who will be requested to act as trustees of the home. They represent various races and religions and their selection shows that the testator intended that the institution should have a representative board. Mr. Freedman, evidently, belongs in Ben Adhem's class. 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.

Dr. Krishna is a graduate of the University of Bombay, the University of Japan, and of Oxford. He is president of the Franco-Indian society of Paris and Bombay, is literary critic and philosopher. President Wilson has the opportunity to do a very graceful act by appointing ex-President Taft to the vacancy in the U. S. Supreme Court made by the recent death of Justice Lamar, who was appointed by President Taft, some years ago. A number of both Democrats and Republicans are urging him to make the appointment. "LAW" IN LOUISIANA Early in the month martial law was declared throughout Jefferson parish, adjoining New Orleans, Louisiana. Governor Hall said in his proclamation that "a reign of lawlessness exists in Jefferson parish, and it appears that authorities of the parish, charged with enforcement of the law, are in sympathy with the lawless element." The state troops confiscated and burned various gambling paraphernalia. The dispatch announcing martial law contained this statement: "Saloons serving both white persons and Negroes will be closed immediately, but other saloons will be allowed to operate as long as there is no disorder." And that is the gist of the whole affair—colored and white people are not allowed to drink together in Louisiana. Rev. Father Francis X. McCabe, president of DePaul University, is in favor of preparedness and doesn't hesitate to say so. In a recent speech he said: "Talk of universal peace is tommyrot, and there will be strife between man and man, nation and nation until the last man has turned his toes to heaven. "Two men cannot live together without having their dissensions, and even a man and a woman cannot abide with each other without fighting. "There are times when a man will fight with himself." Namby pamby mollycoddles of the Bryan, Ford type ought to stop, look and listen! DANIELS DOUBTED. Said Secretary of the Navy Daniels at Washington recently, at fraternal night ceremonies: "I pray to God that the day will come in Methodism when there will not have to be any fraternal night." The Secretary added that he hoped that the day would come when there would be no Northern or Southern Methodist churches, but there will be but one church. Of course he did not exactly mean that. What he meant to say was that he hoped the time would come when there will be but one WHITE church and that the yellow, black, red and brown Christians be forbidden to enter. Ssgregation In Heaven? (From the Reformer, Richmond, Va.) Are there Jim-crow cars and segregation in heaven; if not, what will the friends and supporters and promoters of these race discriminations do? 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- WILL HE DO IT? Mr. F. D. McCrane, formerly the very popular and efficient private secretary of Congressman F. C. Stevens, has just finished his first six months in the real estate and insurance business and now seems to be well in the know of his strong personality, his high standard of integrity, his progressiveness and unusual ability that made him such a valuable aide to our former Congressman so many years, are the dominant forces displayed in his business and his unique impugnable confidence in his ability and efficiency in his line. Mr. McCracken has demonstrated in many instances his capability in the handling of real estate sales to the advantage of his purchasers. Among his most recent sales was the very beautiful stucco bungalow which contains all the conveniences now installed in modern residences, to Mr. M. McCracken, his brother, and Roblyn avenues; he also negotated the sale of the very commodious home to Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Travis on Kent and Ilekhart Ave. Mr. and Mrs F. D. McCRACKEN. Geo. Willis also purchased through Mr. McCracken the "bumble bee" cottage all furnished, with gasoline launch on Lake Chisago. In all of the sales he was able to make them below the market price. He was the owner of renting, Mr. McCracken has rendered very valuable service to our people. His motto is "Better homes at fair rentals," and has obtained some good property at reduced rentals. He is daily impressing upon property owners and real estate agents that our people must have better homes without the exhorbitant rents usually charged. In order to system of real estate agents of renting out white tenants and renting the same property to colored at a higher rate of rent, Mr. McCracken has refused to handle such property. Among the properties he manages there are many white clients. The Hall Brothers, who are rapidly becoming the races largest property owner, Mr. McCracken in charge of their property. His are well pleased with the prompt and business like methods with which he conducts their affairs. Representing only the strongest fire insurance companies, Mr. McCracken has already built up a very prosperous line of fire alone. He is the only colored man in Minnesota who has a State Insurance license and is legally permitted to write all classes of insurance. Realizing the opportunity for a live farm land dealer among our people in the northwest, Mr. McCracken has interest in financial concerns in the purchase of a farm in lands in Wisconsin and Minnesota, which he is handling and has already made some sales out of the tract. For years St. Paul has been in for the needs of an active man of our race, who has to quote his entire time to this line of business and Mr. McCracken seems to be the right man in the right place. "MAKE IT A HOT ONE" Thats Just What the Candidates for the City Offices Intend to do—Only One Dozen More Days For Filling. There is one thing about the present system of filing for office that is considered to be commendable and that is, the friends of any man may shy his castor into the ring. The result of this is that the voters have a large field to choose from and can pick such men as pleases them. There are twelve more days in which filings may be made and then the battle royal begins. Thus far the candidates who have received 50 or more petitions are as follows: MAYOR V. R. Irvin. Louis Nash.

The Frolics of 1915 which will be seen at the Star Theatre next week, is just the kind of an attraction to go if you want to drive dull care away to the dogs and also have two and a half hours of solid enjoyment. There is a wealth of music, color and beauty and everything goes with a deal to the rise of the curtain until the fall at the finale of the performance Arthur Connellly, the Little Tad, is the principal funmaker and he is ably assisted by Frank Wesson, Ray Montgomery, Steve Mulroy, Jean Ryan, Anna Healy, Flo Allen, Eva Lewis and another man been picked from Broadway's attractions so it is well named the "Broadway Beauty Chorus."

An Old and Prominent Citizen, Passes to the Great Beyond. The Grim Reaper has been quite busy in St. Paul this week and among his prominent victims was Mr. F. D. Parker, who was gathered in on last Wednesday morning in the heartless, heart trouble being the immediate cause of his death. The deceased was born in Cleveland, Ohio, lived in Louisville, Ky., and Washington, D.C., where he finished his education at Howard University. He was married to Miss Emma Dubos in New Orleans, La., April 5, 1883. He came to St. Paul about 32 years ago, and has since resided here. He was a great race man and took an active interest in politics at all times. He was the first editor of THE APPEAL and the chiefstake in the office of M. J. Bell, Register of Deeds, which he held several years. He has been an active church worker and has served St. James A. M. E. Church in many capacities and was treasurer of the church at his death. He has been one of the foremost of the citizens in furthering the cause many undertaking looking toward the better fellowship of fellow men. Was one of the prime members of a colored fire company. Was a charter member of Mar's Lodge No. 2202, G. U. O. O. F. For the past few years he has held a clerkship in the city postoffice. Some years ago he received the unanimous endorsement of Minnesota for appointment as Minister to Haiti. He is survived by his widow, a brother, Mr. W. H. Parker and a son, Prof. F. L. D. Parker, unanticipated of the Agricultural college for Colored People at Dover, M. His funeral will take place today at St. James A. M. E. Church at 2:30 o'clock of which a notice will be published next week. Repairing Old Pianos. W. J.

Postmaster General Burleson has issued a circular stating that every person in the United States ten years old can open an account in a postal savings bank. But not. One does not have to live where the postoffice is but may open an account by mail. Postal savings receipts have broken and previous records the past year. In addition eight months prior to April it there was a net gain in de- posits of $19,000,000. The St. Paul bank was organized Sept. 1, 1911, and up to the present time has received in deposits $2,505,086. During this same period the withdrawals have amounted to $1,760,890, leaving a credit to the depositors May 1st, of $744,196. Interest to the withdrawals has already been paid to depositors, and $97,580 worth of United States government bonds purchased. The St. Paul Bank has 5,093 open accounts subject to withdrawal, with accrued interest at a moment's notice. Our institution is ranked among the top banks of the country in amount of deposits and the depositors are of every nationality. Postmaster Raths says he hopes to bring the deposits up to $1,000,000 during the coming year. Back to Old Home WM.

EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEALK knows whether he or she has paid for it or not. EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEALK is expected to pay for it; and, it is a violation of honesty, not to do so. THIS APPLIES TO EVERY ONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Are you, reader, honest, honorable and law-abiding? Think about it. There is no law to compel any one to receive a newspaper who does not wish to do so, but there is a law that compels one to pay for a newspaper if it is received. There are many persons who receive THE APPEALK as regularly as it is issued to the APPEAL who have failed to pay for it. Think about it. Don't stop at thinking about it, either, but kindly come or send to the office and pay what you honestly, honorably, legally owe. There is not one single subscriber on our list who is ACTUALLY UNABLE to pay for the paper if the desire to do so is strong enough. There is no desire or intention to offend any one, but if this article is marked with a blue pencil it is to remind you that YOU owe for THE AWOLL. Please come or send to the office, Court Block, 24 E, 4th street, suite 301-302, third floor, and pay what you owe. Take elevator. Law of Subscription. 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. If 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. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher 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 will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearsance is made.
