Address as Temporary Chairman of New York Republican Convention Points Out Sins of Democratic Commission and Omission"We Have Lost Influence Because We Have Been Brave In Words and Iresolute In Action." In his address as temporary chairman of the New York state Republican convention, delivered in Carnegie Hall, New York, the Hon. Ellu Root said: We are entering upon a contest for the election of a president and the control of government under conditions essentially new in the experience of our party and of our country. The forms and methods which we are about to follow are old and familiar, but the grounds for action, the demand of great events for decision upon national conduct, the moral forces urging to a solution of vaguely outlined questions, the tremendous consequences of wisdom or folly in national policy, all these are new to the great masses of Republican voters now living. Never since 1818 has an election been fraught with consequences so national life. All the ordinary considerations which play so great a part in our presidential campaigns are and ought to be dwarfed in insignificance. Democratic Party to the Bar. For the first time in twenty years we enter the field as the party of opposition, and indeed it is a much longer time, for in 1896, all respects save the tariff, the real opposition to the sturdy and patriotic course of President Cleveland was to be found in the party that followed Mr. Bryan. It is our duty as the opposition to bring the Democratic party to the bar of public judgment, to put it upon its defense so far as we see just and substantial grounds to criticise its conduct and to ask the voters of the country to decide whether that party, organized as it is, represented as it has been since it power, has shown itself competent to govern the country as it should be governed and to spirit, its policies, and its performance are the best that the American people can do in the way of popular self government. In the field of domestic affairs some facts relevant to these questions had already been ascertained when in August, 1914, the great European war began. During the year and a half of Democratic control of government in a period of profound peace there had been a steady decrease in American production, in exports and in revenues and a steady increase in imports and expenditures. Enterprise had halted. The Democratic tariff had been framed upon an avowed repudiation of all projections for moderate and reasonable, and because full protection was repudiated practically all information from competent witnesses to the effect new provisions would be imposed business was rejected. It was with just cause that the enterprise of the country halted, timid and irresolute, because it felt and feared the hostility of government. Foreign Competition After War Foreign Competition After War. The great war has not changed the lesson which we had already learned when it began. It has but obscured further demonstration. It has caused an enormous demand for some things. The United States is able to produce in large quantities, and in these lines of production, and in other industries still languish, there have been extensive employment of laborers at exports and a great indus of贸 But this is a temporary. It must soon cease, and when the factories have stopped and their laborers are no longer employed we must deal with a situation for which wise forethought should make provision. More important still, the war has paralyzed the peaceful industries of all Europe and has stopped American markets to supersede American products under the tariff law of 1913. The war has thus given to American competition far more effective than any possible protective when the war is temporary, and when the war is completed production begins again, the American market compared with the American Europe will be more than ever before the object of desire and effort, and we shall become the dumping ground of the world to the destruction of our own industries unless that is prevented by a wise and competent government. How Can We Defend Ourselves? How Can We Defend Ourselves? But it is not from domestic questions that the most difficult problems of this day arise. The events of the last few years have taught us many lessons. We have learned that civilization is but a veneer thinly covering the savage nature of man. How can this nation, which loves peace and intends justice, avoid the curse of militarism and at the same time preserve its independence, defend its territory, protect the livelihoods of society and property of its citizens? How can we prevent the same principles of action, the same policies of conduct, the same forces of military power which are exhibited in Europe from laying hold upon the vast territory and practically undefended wealth of the new world? Have we still national ideals? Will anybody live for them? Would anybody die for them? Or are we all for ease and comfort and wealth at any price? Confronted by such questions as these and the practical situations in which we live, the country satisfied to trust itself again in the hands of the Democratic party? Impotent Inteferance In Mexico Impotent Inference in Mexico. The United States had rights and duties in Mexico. More than 40,000 of our citizens had sought their fortunes and made their homes there. A thousand millions of American capital had been invested in that productive country. But revolution had come, and factional warfare was rife. Americans had been murdered. American property and had been wantonly destroyed, the lives property of all Americans in Mexico when he was president. That was the situation when Mr. Wilson presided in March, 1913. His duty then was plain. It was, first, to use his powers as president to secure protection for the lives and property of Americans in Mexico and to require that rules of law and stipulations of treaties should be observed by Mexico toward the United States and its citizens. His duty was, second, as the head of a foreign power to respect the independence of Mexico, to refrain from interference with her internal affairs, from all attempt at domination except as he was justified by the law of nations for the protection of American rights. The president of the United States failed to observe either of those duties. He deliberately abandoned them both and followed an entirely different and inconsistent purpose. He intervened in Mexico to aid civilians in civil life against another. He intervened in Mexico to Huerta and set Carranza up in his place. Arms and munitions of war were freely furnished to the northern forces and withdrawn from Huerta. Finally the president sent her army and navy to invade Mexico and capture its great seaport, Vera Cruz, and hold it and throttle Mexican commerce until Huerta fell. Americans Outraged in Mexico. The government of the United States intervened in Mexico to control the internal affairs of that independent country and to enforce the will of the American president in those affairs by threat, by economic pressure and by force of arms. Upon what claim of right did this intervention proceed? Not to secure respect for American rights, not to protect the lives or property of our citizens, not to assert the rights of our citizens, not to assert the law of humanity. On the contrary, Huerta's was the only power in Mexico to which appeal could be made for protection of life or property. That was the only power which, in fact, did protect either American or European or Mexican. It was only within the territory where Huerta ruled that comparative peace and order prevailed. The territory over which the armed power of Carranza and Villa and their associates was the theater of the most appalling crimes. Bands of robbers roved the country with unbridled license. Americans and Mexicans alike were at their mercy, and American men were murdered and American women were thousands were reduced to poverty by the destruction of the industries through which they lived. Yet the government of the United States ignored, condoned, the murder of American men and the rape of American women and insult to American officers and defilement of the American flag and joined itself to the men who were guilty of all these things to pull down the power of Huerta. Why? The president himself has told us. It was because he adjudged Huerta to be a usurper, because he deemed that the common people of Mexico ought to have greater participation in government and in the land, and he believed that Carranza and Villa would give these things. We must sympathize with these sentiments, but there is nothing more dangerous than misplaced sentiment. When our army landed at Vera Cruz Carranza himself, who was to be the chief beneficiary of the act, publicly protested against it. So strong was the resentment that he could not have kept his followers otherwise. When Huerta had fallen the new government which for the day had succeeded to place peremptory demanded the withdrawal of the American troops. The universal sentiment of Mexicans required the peremptory demand, and the troops were withdrawn. Still worse than that, the taking of Vera Cruz destroyed confidence in the sincerity of the American government in Mexico, because every intelligent man in Mexico believed that the avowed reason for the act was not the real reason. The avowed purpose was to capture the American flag. Three hundred Mexican American flags killed; seventeen United States marines were killed and many were wounded. At that very time Mr. Bryan, with the president's approval, was签订 treaties with the half the agreement that if any controversy should arise it should be submitted to a joint commission and no action should be taken until a full year had elapsed. This controversy, slight as it was, arose on the 6th of April, and on the 21st of the same month Vera Cruz was taken. With the occupation of Vera Cruz the moral power of the warened in Mexico ended. We were then and we are now hated for what we did to we are and we were then and we are now desplaced for our 'eble and irresolute failure to protect THE APPEAL. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. MARCH 18. 1916 the lives and rights of our citizens. No steamer Falaba was torpedoed by a German submarine and an American citizen was killed, but nothing was done. On the 18th of April the American vessel Cushing weak against the aggression of the flag is so disboroned and no citizenship so little worth the claiming in Mexico so little worth the claiming in Mexico to this people the invasion of Berlin as ours. And that is why we have brought a shock of amazement failed in Mexico. Policy of "Watchful Waiting." Incredible as it seems, Huerta had been turned out by the assistance of the American government without any guaranties from the men who were to be set up in his place, and so the murdering and burning and ravishing have gone on to this day. After Huerta had fallen and the Vera Cruz expedition been withdrawn President Wilson announced that no one was entitled to interfere with Mexico; that she was entitled to set them herself. He declares all responsibility for what happens in Mexico and contents himself with a policy of watchful waiting. And for the death and outrage, the suffering and ruin of our own brethren, the hatred and contempt for our country and the dishonor of our name in that land the Washington shares responsibility with the inhuman brutes with whom it made sense. When we turn to the administration's conduct of foreign affairs incident to the great war in Europe we cannot fail to perceive that there is much dissatisfaction among Americans. Dissatisfaction is not in itself ground for condemnation. The situation created by the war has been difficult and trying. Much of the correspondence of the state department, including Lansing took charge, has been characterized by accurate learning and skillful argument of specific American rights. Three Errors In European Policy. A study of the administration's policy toward Europe since July, 1914, reveals three fundamental errors: First, the lack of foresight to make timely provision for backing up American diplomacy by actual or assured military and naval force; second, the forfeiture of the world's respect for our assertion of rights by pursuing the policy of threaten and failing to make them threats and a loss of the moral forces of the civilized through failure to truly interpret to the spirit of the American democracy in its attitude toward the terrible events which accompanied the early stages of the war. First, as to power: When the war in Europe began, free, peaceable little Switzerland instantly mobilized upon her frontier a great army of trained citizen soldiers. Sturdy little Holland did the same, and both have kept their territory and their independence involate. Great, peaceable America was farther removed from the frontier, but her citizens traveled on every sea. Ordinary knowledge of European affairs made it plain that the war was begun not by accident, but with purpose which would not soon be relinquished. Ordinary knowledge of military events made it plain from the moment when the tide of German invasion turned from the battle of the Marne that the conflict was certain to be long and desperate. Ordinary knowledge of history—of our own history during the Napoleonic wars—made it plain that in that conflict neutral rights would be worthless unless powerfully maintained. The Democratic government at Washington did not see it. Others saw it, and its opinions found voice. Mr. Gardner answered loudly. Lodge urged it. Mr. Stimson urged it. Mr. Roosevelt urged it, but their argumentgency were ascribed to political motives, and the president described them with a sneer as nervous and excited. Wilson Has Shifted Ground. But the warning voices not be still stilled. The opinion we ought not longer to remain defenseless, became public opinion. Its expression, more general and insistent, and finally the president, not leading, but following, has shifted his ground, has reversed his position and asks the country to prepare against war. God grant that he be not too late. But the Democratic party has not shifted its ground. A large part of its members in congress are endeavoring now to sidetrack the movement for national preparedness, to middle it by amendment and turn it into a law which will produce the least possible result in the increase of national power of defense. What sense of effectiveness in this effort can we gather from the presence of Joseph Daniels at the most critical post of all—the head of the navy department—when we see that where preparation has been possible it has not been made, when we see that construction of warships already authorized has not been pressed and in some cases after long delay has not even been begun? If an increase of our country's power to defend itself against aggression is motivated by the present congress it must be used to republican votes, because all the traditional and convictions of that party are for national power and duty and honor. As to the policy of threatening words without deeds: When Germany gave notice of her purpose to sink merchant vessels on the high seas without safeguarding the lives of innocent passengers our government on the 10th of February one year ago informed Germany in unmistakable terms that in attacking and sinking vessels of the United States and in destroying the lives of American citizens lawfully traveling upon merchant vessels of other countries she would act at her peril. They pledged the power and courage of America, with her hundred million people and her vast wealth, to the protection of her citizens as during all her history through the days of her youth and weakness she had protected them. On the 28th of March the passenger steamer Fataba was torpedoed by a German submarine and an American citizen was killed, but nothing was done. On the 28th of April the American vessel Cushing was attacked and crippled by a German airplane. On the 1st of May the American vessel Gulfight was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine and two or more Americans were killed, yet nothing was done. On the 7th of May the Lusiana was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine and more than 100 Americans and 1,100 other noncombatants were drowned. The very thing which our government had warned Germany she must not do, Germany did of set purpose and in the most contemptuous and shocking way. Then when all America was stirred to the depths, our government addressed an order to Germany. It repeated its assertion and its rights and renewed its bold declaration of purpose. It declared again that the American government "must hold the strict accountability for any infringement of those rights, intentional or incidental," and it declared that it would not "omit the demand or that it would not the performance of its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and its citizens and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment." Still nothing was done and a long and technical correspondence ensued, haggling over petty questions of detail, every American note growing less and less strong and peremptory until the Arabic was torpedoed and sunk and more American lives were destroyed, and still nothing was done, and the correspondence continued until the allied defense against German submarine warfare made it unprofitable and led to its abandonment, and the correspondence is apparently approaching its and without securing even that partial protection for the future which might be found in an admission that the destruction of the Lustania was forbidden by law. The later correspondence has been conducted by our state department with dignity, but it has been futtle. An admission of liability for damages has been secured, but the time for real protection to American rights has long since passed. The brave words with which we began the controversy had produced no effect, because they were read in the light of two extraordinary events. One was the request of the Austrian ambassador, Mr. Dumba, to his government that when the American note of Feb. 10 was received he selected the secretary of state, Mr. Bryan, which it meant business and received an answer which satisfied him that it did not, but was intended for effect at home in America. "Too Proud to Fight." The other event was the strange and unfortunate declaration of the president in a public speech in Philadelphia the fourth day after the sinking of the Lusiana that "a man may be too proud to fight". Whatever the Austrian ambassador was in fact told by the secretary of state, the impression which he reported was supported by the events which followed. Whatever the president did mean, his declaration, made in public at that solemn time, amid the horror and mourning of all our people over the murder of their children, was accepted the world over as presenting the attitude of the Americas to the world in the face of the injustice of the life and liberty of American citizens in the exercise of their just rights, and throughout the world the phrase "too proud to fight" became a byword of derision and contempt for the government of the United States. Later, in another theater of war—the Mediterranean-Austria, and perhaps Turkey also, resumed the practice. The Ancona and then the Persia were destroyed, and more Americans were killed. Why should they not resume the practice? They had learned to believe that, no matter how shocked the Americans were, their resolution would expand itself in words. They had learned to believe that it was safe to kill Americans, and the world believed with them. Shaking Fist and Finger. No man should draw a pistol who dares not shoot. The government that shakes its fast first and its finger afterward falls into contempt. Our diplomacy has lost its authority and influence because we have been brave in words and irresolute in action. Men may say that the words of our diplomatic notes were justified; men may say that our inaction was justified, but no man can say that both were wise and creditable. I have said that this government lost the moral forces of the world by not truly interpreting the spirit of the American democracy. American diplomacy stands for something other than beef and cotton and grain and manufactures: stands for something that cannot be measured by rates of exchange and does not rise or fall with the balance of trade. The American people, informed by their own experience that is confirmed by their observation of international life, have come to see that the independence of nations, the liberty of their peoples, justice and humanity cannot be maintained upon the complacension, the good nature, the kindly feeling of the strong toward the weak; that real independence, real liberty, cannot rest upon sufferance; that peace and liberty can be preserved only by the authority and observance of rules of national conduct; that justice and humanity: only by the establishment of law among nations, responsive to the enlightened public opinion of mankind. To them liberty means not only for themselves alone, but for all who are oppressed. Justice means not justice for themselves alone, but a shield for all who are weak against the aggression of the strong. To this people the invasion of Belgium brought a shock of amazement and horror. If the public opinion of the world was to remain silent upon that, neutral upon that, then all talk about peace and justice and international law and the rights of man, the progress of humanity and the spread of liberty is idle pain, mere weak sentimentality; the power of powerless and brute force rules and will rule the world. If no difference is recognized between right and wrong then there are no moral standards. There come times in the lives of nations as of men when to treat wrong as if it were right is treason to the right. The Wrong Done to Belgium. In Wrong Done to Belgium. The American people were entitled not mercy to feel, but to speak concerning the home to Belgium. It was not like interference in the internal affairs of Mexico in the other nation, for this was an international wrong. The law protecting Belgium which was violated was our law and the law of every other civilized country. That law was the protection of our peace and security. It was our safeguard against the necessity of maintaining great armaments and wasting our substance in continual readiness for war. Moreover, that law was written into a solemn and formal convention, signed and ratified by Germany and Belgium and France and the United States in which those other countries agreed with us that the law should be observed. There was no question here of interfering in the quarrels of Europe. We had a right to be neutral, and we were neutral as to the quarrel between Germany and France, but when an incident to the presence of that quarrel Germany broke the law which we were entitled to have preserved and which she had agreed with us to preserve we were entitled to be heard in the assertion of our own national right. Neutral Between Right and Wrong! Yet the American government acquiesced in the treatment of Belgium and the destruction of the law of nations. Without one word of objection or dissent to the repudiation of law or the breach of our treaty or the violation of justice and humanity in the treatment of Belgium our government has been unable to States an undiscriminating and all-embracing neutrality, and the president admonished the people that they must be neutral in all respects in act and word and thought and sentiment. We were to be not merely neutral as to the quarrels of Europe, but neutral as to the treatment of Belgium, neutral between justice and injustice, neutral between humanity and cruelty, neutral between liberty and oppression. Our government did more than acquiesce, for in the first Lusiana note, with the unspeakable horrors of the conquest of Belgium still fresh in our minds, on the very day after the report of the Bryce commissioned these words to the government. Recalling the humans and enlightened attitude hitherto assumed by the imperial government in matters of international right and participation with respect to the conquest, the government learned to recognize the German views and the German influence in the field of international obligation as always engaged in the conquest. And so the government of the United States appeared as approving the treatment of Belgium. It itmrepresented the people of the United States in that acquiescence and apparent approval. It was not necessary that the United States be involved in the defense of the violated law. A single expression by the government of the United States, a single sentence denying assent and recording disapproval of what Germany did in Belgium, would have given to the people of America that leadership to which they were entitled in their earnest groping for the light. It would have ranged and led the leadership the conscience and morality of the neutral world. It was not to be. The American government failed to rise to the demands of the great occasion. Gone were the old love of justice, the old passion for liberty, the old sympathy with the oppressed, the old ideals of freedom, helping the world toward a better future, and helped in the eyes of mankind only solicitude for trade and profit and prosperity. The American government could not really have approved the treatment of Belgium, but under a mistaken policy it shrank from speaking the truth. Such policies as I have described are doubly dangerous in their effect upon foreign nations and in their effect at home. The American government experience that a weak and apprehensive treatment of foreign affairs invites encroachments upon rights and leads to situations in which it is difficult to prevent war, while a arm and frank policy at the outset prevents difficult situations from arising and tends most strongly to preserve peace. On the other hand, if a government is to be strong in its diplomacy its own people must be ranged in its support by a government in a national cause worthy to awaken their patriotism and devotion. We have not been following the path of peace. We have been blindly stumbling along the road that continued will lead to inevitable war. When our government failed to tell the truth about Belgium it lost the opportunity for leadership of the moral sense of the American people and it lost the opportunity of knowledge of that leadership and a sympathetic response from the moral sense of the world would have given to our diplomacy. When our government failed to In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. make any provision whatever for defending its rights in case they should be trampled upon it lost the power which a belief in its readiness and will to maintain its rights would have given to its diplomatic representations. When our government gave notice to Germany that it would destroy America and American ships at its peril our allies would have been potent if sustained in preparation to make them good and by the prestige and authority of the moral leadership of a great people in a great cause, were treated with a contempt which should have been foreseen, and when our government failed to make those words good its diplomacy was bankrupt. Upon the record of performance which I have tried to describe will the Democratic party be entitled to be continued in power? The defects of the present administration arise from two distinct causes. The first is the temperament and training of the president. The second is the incapacity of the Democratic party as it is represented in Washington both in the legislative and in the executive departments either to originate wise policies or to follow them when proposed by others or to administer them if they are established. The Democratic congress are never controlled except a club, and government with a club is always spasmatic and defective. We must not deceive ourselves by assuming that the critical period arising from the great war has passed. The real dangers and the real tests of the strength of our institutions lie before us. The most exacting demands upon the wisdom, the spirit and the courage of our country are still to be made. In this great conflict all forms of government are on trial, democracy with the rest. The principles of national morality are on trial. We must play our part in the universal trial whether we will or not, for upon the result depends directly the question whether our republic can endure. What Are People to Expect? But what are the people to expect if the Republican party is restored to power? This much we can say now: They may expect, with confidence, that their government will meet the economic situation with which we must deal immediately upon the close of the war, with a policy of moderate but adequate protection to American industry. They may expect that the government will be administered with the honesty and efficiency which have marked Republican administrations in the past. They may expect that the best possible peace for the preservation of peace will be followed by a foreign policy which, with courtesy and friendliness to all nations, is frank and fearless and honest in its assertion of American rights. They may expect that their government will stand for full and adequate preparation by the American people for their own defense. The Republican party loves peace and hates war; it aborts and will never submit to military domination; but it is composed of men who love our country and who deem that the independence, the liberty, the honor and the opportunity of the American democracy are not merely to be talked about with weak and faby sentiment, but are to be maintained and safeguarded by the practical power of a vitile and patriotic people. It is clearledight enough to prepare for defense must have due priority in the face of attack; that under the conditions of modern warfare much preparation must be made before a possible attack or all preparation will be impossible after the attack. The Republican party stands for a citizenship made competent by training to perform the freeman's duty of defense for his country. It stands for a regular army no larger than is necessary, but as large as is necessary to serve as a first line, a nucleus, a source of instruction and of administration for the army of American citizens who may be called upon to defend their country. And the Republican party stands for the gospel of patriotic service to our country by every citizen, according to his ability in peace and in war. It stands for a reawakening of American patriotism, and for the accolades that will the people of other lands are rendering the last full measure of devotion in sacrifice and suffering and dying for their countries America shall remain alone dull to the call of country and satisfied in the comforts and pleasures of prosperity. Our Power For Peace. They may expect that assured readiness for defense will give power to our diplomacy in the maintenance of peace. They may expect that the power and will of a united people to defend their country in the application of our peaceful and prosperous land of the hateful doctrine that among nations might make right regardless of the rules of justice and humanity. They may expect that the manifest, potential strength and competency of the nation will maintain the effectiveness and reality of that great policy of the United States in the protection of President Monroe for the destruction of our security by the establishment of hostile military powers in our neighborhood. They may expect that their government will not forget, but will ever maintain, the principles of American freedom, the duties of America to the peace and progress of the world and to the security of all mankind which above all else make the true greatness of the American democracy. $2.40 PER YEAR. DANISH PRINCE TO WORK ON A FARM Erik, King's Cousin, to Study Advanced Methods. EXPECTS TO DROP ALL RANK Wishes to Learn Scientific Agriculture so As to help Both Himself and the People of Denmark—Son of Ranking Admiral and is Young and Democratic—Likes a Simple Life. New York.—When the Scandinavian American liner Hellig Olav made her way into quarantine a pleasant faced young man stood beside her rail, piercing through a mist and trying to get a glimpse of the quarantine station that loomed indistinct and shadowy off the port bow. Almost as the vessel let go her anchor to await the arrival of the health officer of the port the coast guard cutter with the customs officials nosed a way out of the fog. On the cutter were Georg Bech, Danish consul in New York, and Dudley Field Malone, collector of the port. They were on board to welcome to the United States Prince Erik of Denmark, son of Prince Waldemar and cousin of the King of Denmark. The prince was the smiling young man on the steamer's deck. The cutter ran alongside, and as the officers started up the ladder an officer of the Hellig Olav appeared and told the skippers's compliments, and moved picture mates, photographers and moving picture mates, that were not to be allowed on board. He was moved by their protestations and the cutter, with a disappointed crowd on board, backed away into the fog. The ship's officer smiled as he gravely touched the visor of his car. There was no wait for customs officials to examine the prince's trunks, for the courtesy of free entry had been extended to the royal visitor. Prince Erik was described by his fellow passengers as having pleasant and democratic manners. He was popular with the cabin passengers. His traveling companion is Johannes Plum, a friend. The prince, instead of traveling incognito, as European royalty sometimes does, registered at a hotel here as "Prince Erik of Denmark." The prince intends to study scientific farming as it is carried on in America and to drop all bank and to settle down to the life of a farmer two years English, for he has lived two years on a farm in East Gloucestershire, England, where he made his home with a gentleman farmer and lived in a simple way. Erik is the son of the ranking admiral of the Danish navy. His mother was Princess Marle of Orleans. He has a brother who is also devoting his life to agricultural pursuits. PAINTED 1,000 CAT PICTURES Woman Stricken Blind After She Finishes Her Painting. Pitman, N. J.-Just as she has finished her thousandth paintings of cats Mrs. E. M.

PSYCHOLOGY OF PREJUDICE. Last week the St, Paul Pioneer Press contained a very remarkable editorial which has been so generally and favor ably commented upon that we repro. duce it for the benefit of exchanges and some people who did not see it It certainly has the right ring, The occasion which inspired it was a meet- ing of the Nattonal Association for the Advancement of Colored People: PSYCHOLOGY OF PREJUDICE. “It is the duty laid upon every American to rid himself of race prejudice so far as may be. And, this being America, race prejudice should be entirely banished from our national life, if not obliterated from our per- sonal attitudes “In any event, no American has a right, the smallest personal right, to speak or think his race prejudices in public. That is un-American and Tegisters him as not an American. It ig a difficult thing’ to do at best, this ridding one’s self of prejudice, particu- larly of race prejudice. . There appears to be no corollary of tolerance to the American proposition of liberty. But, never was there a moment in our his: tory when the call to this dificult achievement was so loud, or the op- portunity so large. “And, at this moment when every man feels prejudices and every man Knows it is lald upon him to act 0 far as possible free from prejudices, there is a very lage opportunity to consider and banish a certain race prejudice. We have had the race with us almost from the beginning and will have it to the end, Much injustice has ‘been wrought and will be wrought it /* “THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we protest makes cowards out | The human race has climbed test.

Plymouth church and for the society which na- tionally is pledged to urge the ban- ishmentt of this prejudice, the society for the amelioration of the conditions Of the colored people, President Vin- cent of the University will’speak on ‘The Psychology of Prejudice.’ It is an illumination of which we are all in need. Too often our prejudice is.a matter of instinct, without any psychology, any mental side to it. To discover where we err, and where we fail to manifest any intelligence, should go far to cure us of our medieval ill And at this moment, there is nothing which we, as Ameri: ‘cans, an amalgam of all races, are 80 much in need of as an understanding of prejudice, leading to its elimina tion, or at least its subordination in public affairs.” SAINT CYRS TO ENTERTAIN CAPITAL. “aaeeinryv» ‘Mr. and Mrs. Jean Harald St. Cyr are entering upon a social campaign in Washington which is to be so lavish that “sassiety” will sit up and take notice. One of the most elegant residences on Connecticut avenue, built by the late A, M. Lathrop, a mer. chant prince, and occupied last sea son by Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh, has been leased by the St. Cyrs and they will keep open house at a series of brilliant social functions, Never heard of the St. Cyrs? Well, Jean Harald St. Cyr was not many years ago John Thompson, a waiter in a Chicago restaurant. He was am: bitious and feeling that the name John Thompson was a handicap, he changed it to Jean Harald St. Cyr. ‘Then he made love to a rich widow and married her, and when her death occurred a few months later he be came heir to about $200,000, Shortly after the death of his: wife, he ar. rayed himself in some loud clothes and made love to Mrs. “Silent” Smith, a widow with $50,000,000, and ‘in a short while captured and married her. ‘With fifty millions in his posses. sion “sassiety” will forget all about the humble origin of “Mr. St. Cyr” and will receive him and his bride with open arms. It is said that “Mr. Saint Cyr” does not care a rap what the general public thinks of him— and who would with $50,000,000? SEGREGATION IN ST. LOUIS. Only one daily paper in St. Louis had the courage and manhood not only to fight against segregation but to severely rebuke the other papers which stood for the unholy thing. Phe St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Pulitzer paper, in an admirable edi. torial, set forth its view of, the situa tion as follows: “The forces backing the segregation movement were s0 powerful that they were able to control newspapers ‘and induce them to abandon their princi ples. That they should mislead for a time a large number of voters is not a matter of wonderment, “Ot course the ordinances adopted under the initiative will have to stand the tests of the courts. We do not believe that they will survive. If they do not we do not look for a solution of the problems they were planned to meet. We believe that they are mis. takes and that they will be recognized as mistakes and set aside in favor of the principles they violate, We hope, however, the experiment of segregation will not lead to serious consequences. “The racial problems with which they are planned to deal must be solved on @ sounder basis of justice and lib- erty and with a broader spirit of hu- manity than are embodied in these measures.” It is said that the intelligent col- ored people of Saint Louis will fight THE MAN W) © DARFS Uhonor the map eho in th sclentious discharge of his dut; to stand alone; tine world, with ant, intolerant ju“gment, ma demn, the counterances :{ re may be averted, and the hea friends grow cold, but the se duty done shall be sweeter th: applause of the world, the os ances of relatives or the hea Uhonor the map «ho in the con- sclentious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignor- ant, intolerant ju“gment, may con- demn, the countenrances +f 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 ceuaten- ances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. segregation to a finish and that they must do, for upon the proper settle- ment of this question depends thelr very existence, Segregation is spread ing all over the country and money must be raised to. carry the question to the Supreme Court of the United States. THE APPEAL hereby subscribes five dollars to the fighting fund and and has forwarded that amount to the ‘National Association forthe Advance ‘ment of Colored People at New York the same to be added to the fund for carrying the matter to the court o last ‘resort, Who will follow suit? “BASIS OF SOCIAL STRIFE.” In @ recent address before the Sun day Evening Club, Bishop Charles D Williams handed out some straight goods. We quote three sterling para graphs: “Ninetenths of our social strife come from trying to know people by labels or numbers. We require a great deal more temperance and virtue from the tramp who comes to the back door and asks for cold victuals than we do from the society youth whe comes into the drawing-room and asks for our daughter’s hand. “Think of the simple Russian, Ger man and French peasants across the sea tonight, murdering each other. I you went through the ranks most of them wouldn't know what it is all about. They are doing it just because some one in authority has labeled the other fellow—‘enemy.’ “The secret of nearly all our hatred and indifference toward our neigh bors is because we don’t know them. Wo are’ all slaves to names and titles; we hate to face realities, We are getting morally color blind to the finer shades of right and wrong. Often we are afraid to be alone with our real selves for fear we should get acquainted with them.” THE REASON WHY. A distinguished foreigner who is touring the United States had this to say relative to his impressions of the race question in this country: “I have always been interested in what is called the race question in the United States and since my arrival I have erideavored to study it trom every viewpoint and it possible find some reasons for its existence, “After I had met so large a number of intelligent, well educated, refined and cultured colored people I was at loss to understand the reasons for the bitter race prejudice and the at tempts in various parts of the country to segregate people of color. “The problem was largely solved when I attended at Evanston, Mlinois recently @ conference of the various ‘branches of Methodism and in which ‘the colored branches had representa. ‘tion, “That a body so-called Christians ‘should find it necessary to even die- cuss the question of segregating any class of people was 0 contrary to the spirit of Christianity that I was greatly surprised; but after a South ern delegate had in a vigorous speech opposed segregation, I was dumb- founded to see @ bishop of a colored Methodist church arise and make a speech favoring the separation of his branch from the proposed union of ‘Methodism. He referred to his mem- bers as “white folks’ Negroes” and sald they wished to be set apart. It was a disgusting revelation. “The whole thing is now clear. Some ignorant, short sighted self-seeking leaders are seeking segregation in the church for some personal reasons. Evidently they are not versed in his- tory or they would know that they are playing with fire. If they are segregated in the House of the Lord, segregation civilly and socially fol- lows as a natural sequence. Old col ored men who were reared in slavery are apt to have slavish ideas and the only hope of the colored people is that the young men, the clear. headed thinking young men, will take charge of the situation and push to the rear the truckling leaders who are willing to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage.” gS PG ay ea iar hy eth hE Stata “The Honorable, the Secretary of the Treasury,” W. G. McAdoo, has started for South America. He is accompanied by Senator Fletcher of Florida, ‘The United States is reaching out for Cen- tral and South American trade and these two worthy segregationists will no doubt receive a rousing hearty wel: come from the warm hearted Latin Americans, In Brazil the “Honorable Secretary” will meet many prominent citizens high officials and merchants who are colored men of various shades, trom ‘& bright yellow to a lustrous black jand he has made @ great mistake i he has not included among his im Pedimenta samptes of the famous seg Tegated water closet which was in vented by former “Honorable Assist ant Secretary of the Treasury” Will jams and installed in the treasury building at Washington by “The Hon orable, the Secretary of the Treasury’ McAdoo.

PLUCK AND PREPAREDNE&ss. Deputies from the Illinois state fire marshal’s office have begun an inves tigation into a fire which oceurred Wednesday in the home of Fred R Jefferson, a colored man who reside in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago Jefferson charges that his house was set on fre purposely because of rac prejudice. ‘This blaze was the second attemp! made to burn Jefferson's home. The first occurred in April, 1914. The latest blaze occurred about 1:30 o'clock. The Jeffersons would prob ably have burned in their beds hac not the flare of the burning gasoline awakened them. Mrs. Jefferson carried out thet little daughter Faith. Jefferson him self could not get a connection over either of the two telephones ‘whic! he has in his house and ran to ¢ neighbor's house to call the fire de partment. After this he saw a white man run away from the house and stumble over a hedge, and was yell ing when he disappeared, and it is believed he was wounded by & sho which Jefferson fired from his rifle. Like a sensible man Jefferson has learned the lessons of preparedness, ‘and Keeps a rifle, a shotgun. and a revolver in the house, not to. mention 2 huge dog, which is on watch in the basement; He is ready to give house burners a warm reception. Jefferson's house cost $3,500 and is free from debt. He has been a stu dent at the Art Institute, where he took a prize, and is a member of the Chicago Guards’ band, a Hull house organization, THE APPEAL congratulates Mr, Jefferson on his pluck and prepared. ness and hopes that the next coward ly scoundrel who attempts to burn his home may receive a bullet through his back into his vile heart. ‘THE LIAR AND HIS LIES. Recently in Richmond in the more or less “grand old commonwealth of Virginia,” colored citizens according to the Daily Times-Dispatch, honored @ Catholic priest who had worked among the colored people, by present. ing him a sliver tea service. So far, 80 good, but in his speech the colored brother who made the presentation speech said that “the white and col- ored people of Richmond lived side by side in most harmonious relations and that there was not the least sign of race prejudice.” Now somebody has lied, Wither the Times-Dispatch has misquoted the ‘speaker or he. has deliberately falst fled. The Planet, the Reformer and the St. Luke Herald newspapers pub- Ushed by colored people has stated scores of times that rank prejudice exists and certainly the enactment of the city segregation ordinance which does not permit colored and white people to live “side by side.” In truth the talk about “harmon ous relations” is mostly bunk and it has been handed out for years by-the bootlickers. who for personal reasons desire to curry favor with their op- pressors. “Harmonious relations,” “not the least sign of prejudice” and such ex- pressions are lies and the man who utters them knows that he is a lisr. Voliva the prophet of Zion City in- sista that the earth is flat. Many years ago, Rev. John Jasper of Rich- mond, Va. declared’ that the “Sun do move.” He attracted considerable attention, and that’s just about all that Volva desires at this time. COLORED COMMITTEE REFUSED A HEARING IN WASH- INGTON BY VINSON OF GEORGIA. On Bills Favoring Jim Crow Cars and Making Marriage of Colored and White People a Crime—Rep. Tink- ham Conducted Hearing’ Alone. Ne ig Cet alate ae ate Sse ee EM Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, president of the Washington, D. C,, ‘Branch of | the National Association for the Ad- vaneement of Colored People, reports in the Boston Herald of Monday his | attempt to get a hearing on bills for separate street cars and against inter- marriage of white and Colored per- sons, introduced into Congress. "He says that Rep. Ben Johnson, of Ken- tucky, chairman of the District Com- mittee, ignored his request and a hear- ing before the subcommittee was se- cured through Congressman George Holden Tinkham of Boston. When’ this Colored committee ap- peared Rep. Tinkham telephoned to the sub-committee chairman. Rep. Vinson of Georgia, that some citizens Were on hand, which brought him to| the scene. The latter, however, on viewing these citizens took Rep. ‘tink: ham into an ante-room and practically accused him of deception in that those regent were Colored Americans, sup- Dosing they were white ones,” who favored the bills, He flatly refused to hear this committee and is alleged to. haye said to Rep. Tinkham: “T never was more astonished in my: life when I saw the ‘committes rooms filled with a lot of niggers - mongrels.” Tinkham Conducts Hearing. Rep. Tinkham then conducted the hearing himself, having a stenographie report made of everything sald. Pre: sumably no white member of the or- ganization was present, and no Colored Jwoman spoke, Colored men mentioned as speaking were Dean Kelly Miller and Prof. Geo. W. Cooke of Howard University, Mr. Grimke, Mr, White- fleld McKinlay, a wealthy business man, exCollector of the Port of Georgetown, James A. Cobb, Eeq., and exasst, W.'S, District Attorney of Dc. Indifferent to South's Aggression. The article says that there ‘will be no printed report of these arguments, because Colored persons are ‘not con: sidefed as citizens by the Democratic majority in Congress, and that. the South has deprived the Colored people of all representation in Congress (ot course with the acquiescence of the Republican North) and. introduces hostile bills upon which now it tries to refuse a hearing, and asks how long this disregard of the rights of Colored citizens under the Constitution is to go unchecked by the “American na- ton?” Mr. Grimke summarizes the argu. ments used, especially against’ the stigmatizing’ and degrading antiinter- marriage bills as follows: We showed why the bills ought not to become law; that white and Col- ored people have been riding in the same cars since 1868, without race frletion; that there is no public de. mand for separate cars and. street allway companies are’ opposed to them; and while we did not advocate the Intermarriage of the races, far from it, yet we Were opposed to these antimarriage bills because there is no necessity for such a. law, as in: ter-marriage between the races is very rare and is, infact, a. negligible quantity in the District of Columbia, jas such marriages constitute but small fraction of one per cent of the marriages in the district, We. went further and deeper, and showed that such a law would operate not to raise public morals but to lower them; not to prevent the inter-mixture of the aces but to make amalgamation ap- pallingly easy. Laws Against Inter-Marriage Do Not ‘Stop but Increase Inter-mixture of Colored Blood. : He showed how such laws operate to preserve race purity in the South by establishing double moral and legal standards, and how white men can and do live in concubinage with Colored women there, having chil dren by them with impuity; that they live in lawful union with white women in their world and in unlawful ‘union with black women in their world at one and the same time, producing in consequence a yast number of mixed bloods every year. We showed that if Colored women had the same legal redress against white men. which White women possess, by action for seduction and bastardy process, and that if these white men could be forced legally to support their Colored children, could be brought to book by the criminal law for adultery and forni- eation with Colored women, there Would be vastly less inter-mixture of the races in the South than is going on xthere S€ tease be ee © 4ege A Group by its: Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston, Mass.) No one can be sald to know any class of people who. has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We ‘compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sym- Pathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the two sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people deter than the first. They know aspi- rations among them that the others o not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are: oblt- vious’ of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the col- ored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what Individual possibilities are demon- strated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously can- did with themselves, they would re- vise their judgments and possibly sof- ten their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from know- ing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant racein the highest abilities and-in the clearest aims.

Recently the New York Age pub: lished excerpts from different race Journals which took notice of the comment, made by Editor W. B. B. Du Bois ‘in The Crisis, on the death of the late Dr. Booker ‘T. Washington. ‘The virulence of the attack, by these Papers upon Dr. DuBois, was more untimely than anything he had said about Mr. Washington. Editor Du Bois gave public utterance to his con. ‘victions, and in so doing allowed the world to know the estimate he had of ‘Dr. Washington. Many others may think like the editor of The Crisis, but ‘will not dare to express it. Mr. Wash: ington would not have been a man, it he had been without fault. As a man he made mistakes of judgment, though honestly we believe. The editor of The Crisis recognized not his personal mistakes, which had to do with his personal’ character, but those acts which had to do with the shaping of the destiny of the race in this country. In criticising the public acts of a man, no one should be held up as an enemy nor as unjust if the ‘criticism is just. Those editors whe abused Editor DuBois did not at tempt to show that he was wrong in his judgment of Mr. Washington, It is grossly unfair to appeal to abuse when one is in a combat. The very fact of appealing to abuse indicates that the opponent is correct and there is not an argument to meet him but assaults upon him must be the alternative, Truly, Dr. Washington stood out as an educator of no mean ability in the industrial world, He achieved his prominence in that por tion of the country where great an tagonism to the advance of the race existed. He had to “stoop to con quer.”. He made great concessions in order that he and his institution might accomplish a good for the race which they otherwise could not. In the opinion of the editor of The Crisis Mr. Washington conceded too much. ‘There are certain facts that stare us in the face and we must consider them, First: Tuskegee has grown, but the common school education of the race in the South has shrunk almost to nothing. Second: During the height of Mr. Washington's popularity almost every Southern state tried to segregate the school fund. Third: Though Tuskegee _ has turned out many worthy students, the rank and file of our children in’ the South are worse off today than they were thirty years ago. Fourth: ‘The financial backing of ‘Tuskegee institute, by the most. in. fluential men of the country, resulted in an alarming decrease in gifts to higher educational schools to prepare leaders for the race. Fifth: In spite of the conciliation of Mr. Washington, the South during his lifetime destroyed more’ of our men by lynching and lawlessness than at any other period. of its his- tory. Sixtli: The advising of our people to eschew politics and get material Wealth, did not make their lives one whit better, for as fast as the race got wealth ‘every device for segrega- tion and oppression was inaugurated. Seventh: Mr. Washington lived to sad a es oe | eine eee ee Sere eA. i a, a DR. W. E.

Reforms Needed at Home, (From The Christian Register} Race bitterness makes argument, or discussion, or any effort to come to a common understanding quite useless. ‘Where much racefeeling is engaged, Teason is neutralized. With some peo- ple, questions of the rights of colored people under the Constitution, of the people of California have become im- possible. They simply can not discuss the subject. While this is the caso in this country, we have enough to do in cleansing our own blood of germs of conflict without thinking it our main business to reach across the water in restraint of war.

We miss thee in our home below, When we see your vacant chair, But find great consolation, MRS. J. Q. ADAMS. la Tendered a Birthday Surprise Party by Friends. Last Friday was the anniversary of the birthday of Mrs. J. Q. Adams, and it was not forgotten by a number of her friends who, quite hurriedly, under the leadership of Mrs. Grace Booker arranged and tendered her a birthday surprise party. Mrs. Adams was inveigled into going to a show and not being satisfied she went to another friend she was about to m. when she read her home and was in the possession of her friends. She was so surprised her mouth flew open and she could not shut it and was speechless for a few moments, and then tears began to trickle down her cheeks and she almost collapsed. She however gained her composure and joined with those present, to the number of about 40, in enjoying the occasion. Just before serving refreshments, she was greeted with sweetly, "Mother Dear" and Miss Albreta Bell rendered, "Narcissus" by Nedin on the piano, then Mrs. Grace Booker in a well chosen words 1872 W. C. HANDY Candidate for Mayor presented a large aluminum coffee percolator and tray. Mrs. Adams was quite overcome with emotion, but managed to touch her face to feebly express her joy and gratitude. A card attached to the handsome and useful present contained the names of the donors as follows: Messers and Mesdames J. E. Johnson, R. H. Anderson, P. H. Anderson, C. Oliver, F. D. McCracken, R. W. Godet, Wm. Alston, J. W. Milton, L. M. Terrill, J. H. Dillingham, G. W. James, E. O. James, C. E. James, W. V. T. Fancis, R. B. Chapman, B. C. Williams, J. H. Louis; Drs. and Mesdames V. D. Turner, O. D. Howard; Mesdames Grace Booker, Lula Howard, Della Pettis, A. C. Minor. The entire affair was most pleasant and will be long remembered by all who had any part in it. MRS. GEORGE N. HUBBARD. Suddenly Stricken by Death Last Tuesday Morning. The old saying, "Misfortunes seldom come singly" was sadly verified this week. Every one doubtless can recall that in the latter part of last year, the home of Mr. and Mrs. George N. Hubbard, West St. Paul, during their absence was destroyed by fire and that one of their five children was so badly burned that it died, another was badly burned and has not yet entirely recovered. The disaster would have been more serious but for the heroic actions of one of their sisters, who was a long-time employee for 10 years, who at the risk of her life rescued the other children, and for her bravery was presented a gold medal by Commissioner Henry McCall. Little Miss Gertrude was again a ministering angel on last Tuesday. Since the fire the Hubbards have rebuilt their house doing much of the work with their own hands. Mrs. Hubbard was the janitress of a school building near there. Last Tuesday morning after completing her work at the school she started home. Gertrude, as was her custom, was on the lookout for her and ran some distance to meet her. They had walked a few steps to the school building, exclaiming like I will fall". Gertrude took her hand and led her a little ways, almost immediately. Some children were near and she called them and realizing that her mother was dead had them carry her body into a house nearby. Heart disease was the immediate cause of her death, though the strenuous labor she had performed this winter had sapped her vitality, and though but 32 years of age she was an easy victim for the grim monster, and left her husband, two sons and two daughters to mourn their loss. The mother was held at the German Lutheran Emanuel church to which she and her husband belonged, yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the pastor of the church officiating. Lyles, funeral director; interment in the Lutheran cemetery on the West Side. The two boys are living at their home with the father while the girls are with Mrs. H. Rogers, 675 St. Anthony street, who with her sisters, Mrs. J. Quarles and Mrs. Florence Johnson, arranged for the funeral and tender thanks for those who in any way rendered aloof flowers.
