SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1916 WHO WILL BE FOUND WORTHY, There is considerable speculation in the minds of the people all over the country, as to who will be found worthy to receive the "Spingarn Medal" to be awarded in this month The "Spingarn Medal" is a gold medal of the value of $100, and is awarded annually to the colored person in the United States who is deemed to have rendered the most distinguished service during the year in any field of honorable or elevated endeavor. The medal is given by Dr. J. E. Spingarn of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and its award may well be considered the most distinguished recognition one can receive in this prejudice cursed country. It will be remembered that the first medal was awarded last year to Dr. Edward E. Just a professor in Harvard University Medical School, for distinguished results in biological research. The committee of award consists of ex-president William H. Taft, Oswald Harrison Villard, Dr. James H. Dillard, Bishop John Hurst and Pres. John Hope, of Morehouse College, Atlanta; the latter two being colored. The presentation will be made by Governor McCall at a mass meeting held under THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence we protest makes coward. The human race has done test. Had no voice been injustice, ignorance and quisition yet would seguillotines decide ours. The few who dare me speak again to right many.—Ella Wheeler 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. the auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. at Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass., on Washington's birthday, February 22nd, the name of the fortunate individual will not be known until the presentation is made by Governor McCall, hence we say, we wonder who will be found worthy? 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. Slither of wit, it is weak of wisdom. Its perceptions are false. It sees in darkness; it is blind in the light. It nurtures 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 bemgains 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. "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 divines 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 Adhema's class. "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.

"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. 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? The bulk of the estate of Mrs. Frank Leslie, the New York publisher, amounting to $2,000,000, will go to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt for the cause of woman suffrage. It was decided that the relatives of Frank Leslie can not hold up the distribution of the estate by the executor. Certain relatives claimed that Mrs. Leslie was of Negro descent, so the race ought to get credit for doing a great deal to aid the enfranchisement of woman. George M. Jones, secretary of Oberlin college, has announced that word had been received from Mrs. Elizabeth Severance Allen of New York that her late husband, Dr. Dudley P. Allen, formerly of Cleveland, had left a bequest of $100,000 for hospital purposes in Oberlin. THE APPEAL is always glad to learn of any good that comes to Oberlin for it is a college without any of the newfangled color schemes. The Haiti'tan treaty, ratified by the Haitian Senate, providing for the supervision of the finances of Haiti by United States officials has been laid before the United States Senate, but opposition will be offered by persons who declare it simply makes the United States the "catspaw" for pulling foreign interests out of the fire. Its ratification by the United States Senate is considered doubtful. On the last day of exhibition at the Colonial Theater, Chicago, of the motion picture known as "The Birth of a Nation," the Appellate Court handed down an opinion dismissing an appeal taken by the city from an interlocutory decree in the Superior Court enjoining it from interfering with the exhibition. This month, February, though the shortest month of the year, has the distinction of furnishing the birthdays of three men who had much to do with the making of history in this country, viz.: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Doug. on who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- rgment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- (From the Amsterdam News.)

HAS MADE GOOD. Mr. F. D. McCracken, 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 on the road to success. 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 seem to have given the people unquestionable confidence in his ability and efficiency in his line. Mr. Cracken has demonstrated in many instances the 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. and Mrs. Lloyd Maxwell on Snelling and Roblyn avenues; he also negotated the sale of the very commodious home to Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Travis on Kent and Iglehart Ave. Mr. and Mrs. F. D. McCRACKEN. Geo. Willis also purchased through Mr. McCracken the "humble 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. The matter of renting, Mr. McCracken, tendered 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 not to encourage the prevailing estate agents of putting out white tents on the same property to colored at a high 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 owners, have put Mr. McCracken in charge of their property. His clients are well pleased with the prompt and well-bonded with which he conducts their affairs. Representing only the strongest fire insurance companies, Mr. McCracken has already built up a very prosperous business in this line alone. He is the only colored man in Minnesota that 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 interested some financial concerns in the purchase of a large tract of farm 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 the need of an active man of our race, who would be able to devote 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" That Just What the Candidates for the City Offices Intend to do—Only One Dozen More Days For Filing. 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.

Hamm Brewing This Store Offe Who Wants His M More Than Any Other Store in the Northwest— Resolved, that we appeal to all patriotic citizens north and south, east and west, to realize the malignant design of plays slandering the Colored people and misrepresenting Reconstruction, and to oppose production of such on the American stage. We commend the opposition to such plays, especially by the colored citizens in Boston and Philadelphia at the theatre. Resolved, that by his endorsement of the segregation of clerks for color in the Treasury and Post Office Departments, hisoes and doowrow Wilson broke his pre-election pledge to colored voters, violated the spirit of the federal constitution, and espoused the perpetuation of race prejudice. No such man is worthy to sit in the seats of Washington and Lincoln. That we appreciate the efforts of all individuals and kindred civic organizations to this League, working for the same cause. We extend greetings to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Wendell Phillips Memorial Association, the Northeastern Federation and National Association of Colored Women's Clubs and the Constitution League. That the decision of the United States Supreme Court against the Grandfather Clause is the most notable event of the half-century year of freedom. We urge the distranchion colored citizens of the South to apply for registration to vote and contest in the federal courts when denied. That we thank the colored citizens who carried the Oklahoma JimCrow Car case and the Oklahoma and Annapolis, Md., suffrage cases to the U. S. Supreme Court with success and endorse our League delegation in its refusal to accept President Wilson's endorsement of federal segregation. The American Legal News says that in Iowa a merchant sent a dunning letter to a man, who replied by return mail: "You say you are holding my note yet.

Rounding street, undertook to escape from a cop last Thursday by trying to cross the river on the ice, a la Eliza in Uncle Tom's Cabin, but did not succeed, as he fell in the water that was not secured in about an hour, when he was pulled out of the river and sent to the hospice on the Quint Art American Hospital in a serious condition. Mrs. Hattie Oliver, Paul Crane, Robert Hopkins and C. W. Wigginton, took part in the art contest arranged by the Pioneer Press, for the best drawing of the carnival girl. There were seven hundred contestants. The drawings of the persons named above were among the forty best selected from that great number, and were on exhibition in the windows of the Golden Rule and Press Building.

Monday night were the mascots of Fezzan Temple No. 26, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and not of Osman Temple with which they appeared. They were in charge of Noble Taylor, who personal property they are. He was dressed Arabian costume and the goat and dog wore their special suits and the trio made a striking feature of the parade. On last Sunday morning at 9:00 o'clock Mrs. Martha Kennedy entertained at breakfast in honor of her daughter Ruth who has just entered high school.

Miss Kennedy was the recipient of a beautiful silver chain bag presented by the "girls' Club" and a few other useful presents. The young ladies voted it a delightful occasion. In the afternoon they made up a skating party and went to the Hollow Skating Rink and had a splendid time. The B. L.

Wilson's proclamation, the December meeting for the expected visit from Santa Claus; other meetings were delayed or postponed on account of the weather, or something or other. So that now the correspondent who is also the secretary of this happy-go-chey organization, says that we should worry, whether we will have Francis is president of U. S. The queen eat or not? And if there is any more postponing to be done, for goodness sake postpone the weather or whatever it is and let us eat. WAIT! FOR THE BIG 3 DAYS 3 CARNIVAL! AT UNION HALL Cor. Aurora and Kent Sts.

ST. PAUL Defective Page One of the Leading Spirits in Matters Pertaining to the Race for More Than a Quarter of a Century, Answers the Last Roll Call, and Goes to His Reward. Few men in St. Paul are more widely, or more favorably known, than Frederick Douglass Parker who passed away from this world on the ing of January 26, after a short illness, 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, a., April 5, 1883. He came to St. Paul about 22 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 resigned in clerkship in the office of M. J. Belt 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 in the foremost of the citizens in furthering the cause of any undertaking looking toward the betterment of his fellow men. Was one of the prime movers in securing a colored fire company. Was a charter member of Mars Lodge No. 2202 G. U. O. O. O. F. For the past few F. D. PARKER. years he has held a clerkship in the city postoffice. Some years ago he received the unanimous indorsement 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, superintendent of the Agricultural college for Colored People at Dover, Del. The funeral of the deceased was held at his residence, 647 St. Anthony avenue, last Saturday at 2:00 p. m., mere short service was rendered and at St. Paul's Church, M. E. church at 2:30 o'clock under auspices of Mars Lodge, P. G. M. Council and Household of Ruth 553. Other lodges of the Order also being represented. The church was comfortably filled with friends who had braved the vigors of the cold weather to be present and pay their last tributes of respect to the memory of the illustrious dead. There were many beautiful and appropriate floral offerings laid upon the black broadcloth casket that mutely testified to the high esteem in which the deceased was held in the community. Rev. G. W. Camp of Zion Presbyterian church offered prayer; Rev. T. B. Stovall, of St. Peter A. M. E. Church, Minneapolis, read the scripture lesson. Special music was rendered by the church choir and Mrs. Harriet Loomis Oliver, a God-child of the deceased by special request sang as a solo "Calvary" in her usual sweet and touching manner. Rev. J. P. Sims read an obituary of the deceased and preached a very impressive sermon, and dwelt upon the idea that his place could not be filled in just the same way that the deceased filled it, and therefore he would be greatly missed. Rev. E. H. McDonald of Memorial Baptist church made a few eulogistic remarks paying a high tribute to the character and worth of the deceased. Rev. A. H. Lealtad of St. Philips church pronounced the benediction. The pall bearers were: B. C. Archer, Alex Payne, J. W. Kelly, A. Winstead, W. K. McKnight, Geo. Gresham. Lyles funeral director, interment at Oakland where a brief ceremony was said. His remains will be placed by the side of his father and mother who preceded him. CARD OF THANKS We desire to thank the $q$ many friends who during the last illness and at the death of our late husband, father and brother gave aid, comfort and consolation. Especially do we thank those who performed necessary services at the residence in the dark hours of distress, and to those who gave the beautiful remembrances.

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 arrearages is made.
