In this application the recruit obligates himself to hold himself during the cruise subject to the navy regulations, obey all authorized orders and perform such work on board ship as regularly assigned. "The objects of the training cruise are to help equip properly equipped men to act as reserves in time of war or national emergency by giving them a course of training on board warships under naval officers and naval condition.

RETURNED BABY'S BANK Thief Robbed the House, but Brought That Back. Sierra Vista, Cal.-A thief with a conscience recently entered the home of Clark Rubido here and after decamping with valuables amounting to $100 returned to the burglarized house and deposited a child's bank containing $2 in pennies, which had been part of the loot, on the front porch. The Rubido family visited friends in Los Angeles that day, and about noon a neighbor, Mrs. Caroline Martin, saw a well dressed young man carrying a suit case walk up to the front door of the Rubido home, fumble with the lock a moment and walk in. Ms. Martin shoved the stranger was really a girl of the Rubido, and when the young man reappeared some time after, still carrying the suit case, she told him that the Rubido family was passing the day in the city. The young man thanked her and hurried on. Half an hour later Mrs. Martin saw the young man come back and deposit something on the front porch of the house. When the Rubidos returned they found that the pleasant young man had carried away all the silver several articles of jewelry and $80. The baby's penny bank, which had been returned, was about the only movable valuable not taken. SOAP BRINGS REUNION Brothers Meet For First Time In Thirteen Years by Accident. St. Paul—Charles McKee of Ray, N. D., was sent to room 322 when he registered at the Hotel Sherman. Desiring to shave, he unpacked his grip. But his shaving stick was missing. "Have you got any shaving soap?" he asked a man who was issuing room 324. "Sure," was the answer. They entered room 324 and turned on the light to look for the shaving soap. McKee looked at the other man critically. "What's your name?" he asked. "R. E. McKee of Shakopee, Minn." was the answer. "I'm your brother Charley," the North Dakota said. He did not see each other for thirteen years. They were reared a St. Paul and separated after their parents died. Charles went to North Dakota, where he owns a half section of land. R. E. McKee went to Shakopee, where he owns a section. In the last thirteen years they had not corresponded. Unknown to each other, each had amassed a fortune. Salt Lake City. — Discovered — the strangest community in the United States. It is a community of south sea islanders. A thousand in number, they are now settled in the Skull valley in Utah, between the Great Salt lake and the Nevada line. There are Maoris, Samoans and Hawaiians living and farming in perfect harmony, intermarrying and raising children. Twenty-five or thirty years ago the older men of this strange colony came from across the Pacific, some as sailors, some as stowaways. They wandered in small groups about California, and some of them came across the Sierra into Idaho and Utah. They were starving when a group of business men decided to help them. They secured 15,000 acres of land in the Skull valley, collected all the south sea natives that they could find and established them in a colony which they call Iosepa. An American farmer was selected as superintendent. Each man was paid good wages at the start, and as soon as they were capable they were allowed to buy half acre lots and cottages at ocean costs. Now there is a new generation growing up. Some of the boys have gone from the grade school and taken full courses at the State Agricultural college. Several of the girls have become stenographers in Salt Lake City. A number have graduated from the University of Utah. DRAW LOTS TO PREACH. White Plains Pastors Try New Way of 'Exchooning Pulpits. White Palms, N. Y.—"We had the time of our lives," said the Rev. William Dana Street, pastor of the Ridgeway Avenue Congregational church and one of the six ministers here who filled pulpits that were assigned to them by drawing lots. Sealed envelopes containing the names of the churches were put in a hat, and each man received a "None of us knew which church he had drawn," said Mr. Street, "until a couple of days after we opened the envelopes." The Rev. Chaillus E. Nichols, pastor of the First Baptist church, exchanged with the Rev. Ernest L. Walt, pastor of the Chatterton Hill Congregational church; the Rev. Herbert E. Wright, pastor of the Memorial M. E. church; the largest Protestant church he changed with the Rev. David W. De Forest of St. Paul's M. E. Protestant church, one of the smallest churches. THE APPEAL. Minnesola Historical Society TO SCHOOL ON SKIS. Then Crawl Down to the Door through a Hole in the Snow. Ellensburg, Wash.—Coming to school on snowshoes and skis, sliding over the schoolhouse roof and climbing down to the door through twelve feet of snow is the experience of children at the school at Meadow Creek. Mrs. Mary Boedcher, county superintendent, has received a number of letters which tell the children's idea of the situation. "Our schoolhouse is about twelve feet high on the outside," writes one boy, "but the snow is so deep that a person can walk right over and not know that there is a building there. We have to crawl down eight steps through a hole in the snowbank to get into it." "We live in a tent." says a twelve-year-old girl in the seventh grade. "The roof is covered with large pieces of bark. All that you can see of the house is the very front, where you go out. I went halfway to school on the skis and crawled a little way so as not to go in so deep." Mrs. Beach, the teacher, in her report to Mrs. Boedcher, said that in spite of the snow school kept up every day and that only two absentees were noted during the severe weather. SHE TRAVELS FAR TO BE MRS Young Woman Popped by Mail, Bought Ring and License. Des Moines—After traveling over 600 miles Miss Augusta Knies of Lausung, Mich., became the first leap year bride of this city by leading Harley Decker of 1299 East Twenty-sixth street to the atar. She managed the whole affair. She popped the question, named the wedding day, paid her railroad fare, purchased the marriage license and bought the ring. Miss Knies, who is twenty-five, was strolling along the streets of Detroit with a girl friend last June. Her companion greeted a young man, and fifteen seconds later she was introduced to her future husband. It was Decker employed in a automobile factory. He was called back to Des Moines by the illness of a sister in February. Three weeks ago Miss Knies popped the question by mail, and Decker, who is twenty-nine years old, accepted. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Frank W. Mutchler of the Great Park Church of Christ. Garber, Okla.—The falling of five feet of cement porch of a farmhouse a half mile north of Garber brings to light the unique home of a pioneer of this section. Under this porch is a cave. The cave was dug in 1894. At a point along a little ravine a sandstone ledge cropped out, and there S. H. Peters acquired two large rooms, with a sandstone ledge about three feet thick for a roof. The rooms extended sixty feet under the ground, and at the deepest place there was perhaps eight feet of dirt on top. To the back room a skylight 3 by 5 feet was opened. The rooms were plastered and white-coated, and the rock roof was white-washed, making it light enough for one to read newspapers in any part of the cave. It was very dry at that time, and coffee kept in the cave ground easily. S. H. Peters and his family lived there many months before they moved to home above ground. The stovepipe ran up the skylight, and to persons passing along the road the smoke came out of the ground was a novel sight. Hundreds of persons visited this cave home, and all wondered why the roof didn't fall in, as it was not supported by timbers. When the wet years came a little spring in the cave which furnished all the water for the family overflowed the rooms at times, and in recent years when the drain became clogged the filled with water. The planner later built a house almost over the cave. S. H. Peters was but little longer digging the cave home than was required to build a sod house of the same size. Sod houses were the first homes of most of the ploneers. The plaster was the only expense to the cave home. Today this section has the finest country homes in the state and is in the wheat belt. Fifty-seven Years Without Vacation. Bridgeport, O.-After being on the job for fifty-seven years as toll collector at the Bridgeport end of the Wheeling-Bridgeport bridge, John Richardson will retire. He had worked fifty-seven years without a vacation or illness, but a few days ago he became ill and was forced to abandon his post. He says he enjoyed his "vacation" so much that he will make it permanent. Pneumonia Switer Than Bullet. Passalo, N. J.-Charles Uhlermann of Clifton, who attempted suicide recently, is dead from pneumonia. The boy wrote a note to his parents telling them "soon would know the reason" for his act, then shot himself. The wound was not serious, but pneumonia developed soon afterward. Used Income of High School Instructor in Moderate Manner, and With Money He Erased by Writing He 'Was Able to Educate Eighteen Students. Everett, Wash.-F. D. Mack, teacher in the Central school, has spent about $40,000 in educating eighteen students, seventeen boys and one girl, during the last sixteen years, according to a story he reluctantly told a newspaper representative. Living on his school salary in a modest way both in Minnesota, his former home, and in Washington, he has earned the money to send students through universities by writing short stories and magazine articles. He has paid out between $2,000 and $3,000 on each of his "children." Some of the youngsters were orphans, and some had one parent, but all were eager to learn and were handicapped by lack of money. The thirteen boys who are alive are all actively engaged in the professions in which Mr. Mack has educated them. two are druggists, one being in St. Paul and the other in Los Angeles. The instructors in the University of Minnesota, where they were graduated. The other is an instructor in German. This latter young man plans to be a physician and in 1014 married a girl who wished to go to Germany to get her master's degree, so he and his bride sailed for Germany to continue their studies, only to be turned back by the beginning of the war. Mr. Mack sent him through Normal school, the University of Minnesota and Harvard, where he received his master's degree. A young man who chose to be a broker received his education at the University of Illinois. He started out to be an architect, but changed his career to be a construction course. He was graduated four years ago and is now in Minneapolis brokerage business. He is the best money maker of the "family." In his four years out of college he has made $4,000. A mining engineer who was educated at the University of Minnesota is now working in a mine at Butte, Mont. The banker received a thorough commercial education, and then Mr. Mack set him up in business in a bank in Elgin, N. D. Mr. Mack says that if you are a banker, you must always give them enough money to begin. He recently bought an eighty acre farm for one of them. A dentist lives in Chicago. He had four years at the University of Valparaiso. Mr. Mack says this boy married a rich nurse. One boy who studied to be a lawyer lost his health after his graduation from the University of Minnesota law school, so could not practice, and is now employed as chief of the Minnesota state fish and game commission. He was a self educated and quiet. Mr. Mack would not be thought responsible for one of the most unusual philanthropies in the world. NO PAINTER'S COLIC FOR HIM Bill For "Tint" Makes Bachelor issue Leap Year Declaration. Elwood, N.J.-Robert W. Hunt, a retired college instructor, received a letter recently from a neighboring town where he was purchased by "Mrs. Hunt." Hunt is a good looking bachelor with a steady income, and the inquisitive element of Elwood at once interpreted the postoffice bulletin in terms of leap year possibilities. To quiet the buzzing gossip, Hunt had the following statement: "We have had several offers of marriage, and one or two ladies have assumed we were engaged without making any offer, and it is with fear and trembling we pass each day of this year, which is divisible by four. However, when Mrs. Hunt does arrive she shall come as nature painted her, with eyes like the heavens, with cheeks like the pose and with lips like the damp of crushed strawberry. She shall have no need of paint. When we want to paint it we don't properly moss through two or three coats of paint to get it." Doga Tree Insane Man Oregon City, Ore—Peter Breviol, aged forty-three, an Italian, was treed with the aid of bloodhounds arrested and brought back to Oregon City and committed to the State Hospital For the Insane. Breviol lived in a hollow tree, and his diet consisted of roots, berries and what food he could find around neighboring farmhouses. He stole an ax from a farmhouse and passed much of his time chopping down trees. A number of men of the district determined to arrest Breviol and went to his tree home. The Italian ran away. Dogs were then put on his trail. PRAYERS CURE AN INVALID. Healing of Seventy-year-old Pennsylvania Man Regarded as a Miracle, Greensburg, Pa.—Walter McCluckle, seventy, for sixteen years a helpless invalid, is able to walk again, and his recovery is declared to be a direct answer to prayer. He is a member of the Youngwood United Brethren church. Recently a series of cottage prayer meetings was held, and at Mr. McCluckle's suggestion it was arranged to pray for his healing. The Rev. John Watson, pastor of the church, with twenty-five members of his leme, Mr. Watson read from him the third chapter of Acts, where it is recorded that Peter and John caused the lame man to walk, and from the fifth chapter of James, which declares, "The prayer of faith shall save the sick." The minister and others followed with prayers for Mr. McCluckle's recovery. The prayers finished. Mr. Watson said, "Let us rise and sing 'Praise God From Whom All Blessings flow.' To the astonishment of all, Mr. McCluckle rose with the others, joined in the singing and then walked about the room. His recovery is regarded as a miracle. $50 FOR SEVEN WINKS Following a Custom of Greece Looked Like Mashing Out In Missouri. Kansas City, Mo.-George Stamatios, twenty-six years old, 510 Main street, has not forgotten the customs of his native Greece. There it seems to be the fashion to wink at any woman you want to become acquainted with. The Greek custom brought Stamatios to grief in staid Kansas City. Stamatios entered a department store that six pretty girls to no avail. He winked at a seventh, who promptly seized him by the arm, showed him a store detective's star and escorted him to a crossing patrolman. Stamatios answered a charge of "mashing" before Justice Charles Clark, acting judge, in the north side court here soon after. "That winking trick's a favorite over in the Greece, judge," Stamatios said. "The day we meet all our nice women, the day we all right here too. We've got to show my appreciation of the girls some way." "That's a poor way," Judge Clark answered. "The whink is not favored in Kansas City. You're fine $50." Victoria, B.C. - Edward P. Price does not wear medals in recognition of a world's record tramp, neither is he the author of any "Travels by Foot" tales—not yet—but he has made something of a record for stamina and is now hopelessly a victim to a relentless desire to walk every highway which may be casually named in his presence. He has walked from Chicago to San Francisco in a roundabout way, a distance that does not claim that there is anything remarkable about that fact alone, but the circumstances of the trip make a good story. The first consideration is the fact that Mr. Price at the beginning of his tramp was a tenderfoot. The Price party, for he did not travel alone, was essentially a tenderfoot group. Perhaps the most experienced member was Bunny, a donkey whose eight years had at least taught him caution. Another member was a collec dog named Prince, which is now much more than more dog to Mr. Price, and he was not at least taught in the log of the journey, but upon which he admits the successful conclusion of the undertaking largely depended, was the taunts of Price's friends in Chicago. Price left Chicago in midsummer, 1914, traveling westward along the Lincoln highway. The tramp was the result of a wager and was to be made entirely on foot with the consideration that the conditions would not be fulfilled unless the journey was finished. He insists without further compassions. He insists without further every inch of the journey was on foot. The certified statements of the mayors of the various cities along the route form the credentials. Starting without money, the commissariat was provided entirely by a gun and fishing tackle and the proceeds from singing at the show houses along the river were donated, including provisions, amounted to 100 pounds, and this was Bunny's burden. Hid Over $7,000 In Hut Cedar Falls, Ia.—More than $7,000 was found hidden in the hut of George Pound, eight miles north of here, when the administrator of his estate made an investigation. Pound died suddenly and was supposed to have left little to do. He was found last more than $5,000 in a bank failure and thereafter never trusted banks. Gets a Civil War Letter Bangor, Cal.—L. E. Cole of this town received a letter recently written to him by his brother on Dec. 2, 1884. At that time the writer was a soldier in the Union army, and he tells of the General Price's command. Where the letter has been for the past half century is a mystery. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY in business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. HID HUSBAND'S FALSE TEETH. Jefferson Swears That is the Way His Wife Gift Money. From Hirn. from him. Pittsburgh - It behoves all married tightwads who were faithful teeth to beware. Often the subject has artificial teeth have at last been found to serve a practical purpose in domestic life. Frank Jefferson in divorce court told a harrowing story of the manner in which his wife had frequently forced him to "come across" with money by the simple expedient of taking his false teeth and hiding them. The odd thing, to Jefferson's way of thinking, was that even when he waxed angry his wife would refuse to return his teeth. Only Uncle Sams coin of the realm would persuade her that her mollars were essential and necessary to his daily existence. Mrs. Jefferson's side of the case was tense and to the point—her husband had refused her the money she believed she was entitled to as lady of the house. Consequently she took these measures to get it. USES SPOONS TO SAVE LIFE Knife and Rubber Tube Also Doctor's Implements In Operation. Eikins, W. Va.-With two tin teaspoons, a pocketknife and a piece of rubber tuber as his instruments Dr. H. W. Daniel of the Eikins hospital performed an operation on a woman who had diphtheria, and saved her life, it was allowed to the mountain home of Mrs. Thurman Coberly, the doctor found the woman unconscious. Having no surgical instruments with him and realizing that death was near, he made an incision in the woman's windpipe with his knife, and, using the teaspoons bent double as retractors, he inserted the rubber tube. Rescuing the patient restored, and within a few hours the patient regained consciousness, and it is said that her recovery is expected. ODDLY HEARS OF LEGACY. Benefactor Learns of Bequest After He Nearly Drowned. Gloucester City, N. J.-Through an account published of the fact that he had been rescued from drowning when he fell overboard while unloading coal at the Gloucester ferry wharf, Frank Taylor of 402 South Fourth street received word that he had been left a legacy by a relative in South Jersey, who died several months ago. An aunt wrote from Deerfield, N. J., stating that she had been endeavoring to find him for several months and that they had read in a Philadelphia newspaper of his accident and hastened to notify him that when the relative died he had been mentioned in the will for a portion of the estate, which consisted of a farm and agricultural implements. Kansas City.—Not until his six-year-old grandson took him in charge did Peter Franklin McCubbin of Virginia, eighty-two years old, ride on a railroad train. He passed through this city recently with the grandson, Morris Williamson, on the way to Salt Lake City, where he will live with his daughter, Morris mother. Mr. McCubbin showed a keen interest in things around him and said he had enjoyed his trip a great deal. "It wasn't because I was afraid of trains that I didn't ride on them," he said. "I just never had occasion to go anywhere I couldn't drive. "I raised a family of eight children, and although they all insisted, I never went to see any of them. They usually came home once a year and saved me trouble. My wife traveled considerably. And one of my daughters has been to Europe, but I always got along fine on the farm. When I got tired there I would hitch up and drive to Pittsville, and if the conversation didn't suit me I would drive over to Eldredge, twenty miles away." HE BET ON THE ATHLETICS. Georgia Tax Collector Now Admits $11,000 Shortage in Accounts Waycross, Ga.—After losing more than $3,000 belonging to the city of Waycross in bait laid in the chances of the Philadelphia Athletics to win the world's series of 1914 Alex C. Lowther, city clerk and tx collector of Waycross, attempted to regain the money lost by using other sums belonging to the city until his accounts were more than $11,000 short, accorded by Mayor Scott T. Lowther made public by Mayor Scott T. Lowther in his letter says he expects to repay the money taken. He returned the keys to the city vault. Loses $150 In Ice Hole Waukesha, Wis.-While looking at Robert Hine cut holes in the ice on Pewaukee lake Carl Zinn of Milwaukee, who, with friends, was spending the day at the Zinn summer home, handkerchief from his pocket, pocket knife, and other valuable papers, which were in the pocket, fell into the hole. $2.40 PER YEAR EX-KING MANUEL TAKES LIFE EASY Plays Golf While Portugal Prepares For War. LAND SIDES WITH ALLIES. Former Ruler Apparently is Not Worried Over Course Republic is Purauing—Germany has Formally Declared War on Portugal, Although a State of War Has Existed. London.—While former King Manuel of Portugal is playing golf and taking life easy in England, the little republic of Portugal, once his domain, is completing preparations for war on the side of the allies. Germany has formally declared war on Portugal, although a state of war has practically existed between the two countries since the German troops invaded Portuguese Africa in 1914. Soon after this invasion Portugal sent re-enforcements to her African allies, and there have been a German and Portugual colonial troop. The total war strength of the Portuguese army is 260,000 men. It is estimated that fully 100,000 soldiers have Photo by American Press Association. EK-KING MANUEL. been mobilized for some months to be ready for the conflict. It is over a year since the Portuguese government decided to co-operate with the allies whenever the step seemed necessary. While Portugal has been preparing for war for some time, internal political conditions have delayed matters. A peace party has made its strength felt in that republic, but with Germany's objection of war party lines will be obliterated. Portugal has an alliance with Great Britain dating from 1703 that requires the Portuguese government to furnish Great Britain with 10,000 soldiers when the latter is at war. While these troops have not been put at the disposal of Great Britain in the European theater of war, the Portuguese have been cooperating with the troops of the allies in Africa. While the peace strength of the Portuguese army is only 30,000, with 8,102 more men in the colonial army, the Portuguese have 10,000 reserves and 871,476 available men for purposes. The navy of the republic, however, is one of the smallest in the world. It consists of one second class cruiser, four third class cruisers, four gunboats, five destroyers, four torpedo boats and one submarine. Most of these vessels are of an antiquated type. The Vasco da Gama, the star ship of the navy, has been in service since 1878. It cost $600,000 and is of 3,630 tons displacement. It is equipped with two eight-inch guns, one six-inch gun, two eight-inch guns and eight three-pounders. The Vasco da Gama has a complement of 259 officers and men. Portugal, with the Azores and Madraza island, has a population of 5,957,985 and an area of 35,499 square miles. The population of the republic's colonial possessions in Africa is 8,300,000,334 these colonies have an area of $23,800,000 and 334 have an area of 8,933 square miles and a population of 960,000. Portuguese Africa is made up of Angola, the Kongo, Guinea, East Africa and some islands. Many Portuguese have been bitter toward Germany for many years. They have felt that the kaiser's government has had designs on the Azores and Angola. The war period has long been enthusiastic to enter the contest on the side of the allies not only on account of the treaty with Great Britain, but on account of the long standing grievance against Germany. The wealth of Portugal is estimated at $2,500,000,000. The national debt amounts to $947,000,000. The revenue is $17,680,000 a year, with an additional yearly revenue of $17,184,000 from the colonies. WHERE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

Hubert Eaves, a colored boy 11 years old, at Des Moines, Iowa has several times refused to salute the American flag at the Clarkson public school, which he attends and has been arrested by the truant officer. He says: "America is a white man's country, I have no country." It is said that he was instructed to do this by his parents and if true they are not only making fools of themselves, but are guilty of treason when they teach their son to refuse to salute the stars and stripes. They have done the boy a great wrong by endeavoring to instill such pernicious ideas into his mind and they are teaching him a falsehood. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States specifically states: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subjects to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. That covers the case of the Eaves family. Both parents and the boy were born here and are citizens by right of birth, and this country is as much their country as it is the country of any other persons who were born here. Vardaman, Tillman and some other more or less notorious sons of the South have announced that this is a "white man's country" and no doubt THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silene protest makes cov The human race ha test.

The average American knows that this is the colored man's country as well as the white man's country and history tells us that the colored man is worthy of the citizenship. In many things the country is unjust to its colored citizens. Both public opinion and legislative enactments are in many cases un-American, but that does not change the basic fact that all persons born here are Americans and people who teach their children that this is a "white man's country" and advise them not to salute the flag, are traitors to the land of their birth. IS THIS RETRIBUTION? The first lynching by burning a human being at the stake took place in Paris, Texas, many years ago, when Henry Smith an innocent colored man, CHARGED with assault on a white woman, was saturated with kerosene oil and burned to death in the public square. It was a gala event. Thousands of people, including "many of the leading citizens" came from miles around to witness the human holocaust. The woman who made the charge lighted the fire and as the flames crackled about their victim the elite of Texas danced like demons about the pyre. The woman afterwards confessed that the colored man visited her not only with her consent but at her solicitation. Remorse over her flendish act so preyed upon her mind that a short time after she died a raving maniac. That was twenty years ago. Now the fire flend has again visited the Texas city and Paris is in ashes. This time millions of dollars worth of property of many of the "leading citizens" who took part in that man burning has gone up in smoke. In this contribution? PSYCHOLOGY OF PREJUDICE. Last week the St. Paul Pioneer Press contained a very remarkable editorial which has been so generally and favorably commented upon that we reproduce 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 meeting of the National 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 personal 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 registers him as not an American. It is a difficult thing to do at best, this ridding one's self of prejudice, particularly of race prejudice. There appears to be a lot of tolerance to the American proposition of liberty. But never was there a moment in our history when the call to this difficult achievement was so loud, or the opportunity so large. "And, at this moment when every man feels prejudices and every man knows it is laid upon him to act so far as possible free from prejudices, there is a very large opportunity to consider and banish a certain race prejudice. We have had the race with him from the beginning and will have it to the point that injustice has been wrought and will be carried out we do not confirm or grant of not only toleration but friendliness to this race. "On Tuesday night at the Plymouth THE MAN WHO DARAS I honor the man scientious discharge to stand alone; the ant, intolerant ju- demn, the counter- may be averted, a friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the we ances of relativeness I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of her Wilcox. church and for the society which nationally is pledged to urge the banishment of this prejudice, the society for the amelioration of the conditions of the colored people, President Vincent 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 dislocate us we err, and where we fall to manifest any intelligence, should go far to cure us of our medieval ill. And at this moment, there is nothing which we, as Americans, an amalgam of all races, are so much in need of an understanding of prejudice, leading to its elimination, or at least its subordination in public affairs." 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. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Pulitzer paper, in an admirable editorial, set forth its view of the situation as follows: "The forces backing the segregation movement were so powerful that they were able to control newspapers and induce them to abandon their principles. That they should mislead for a time a large number of voters is not a matter of wonderment. "Of 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 mistakes 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 a sounder basis of justice and liberty and with a broader spirit of humanity than are embodied in these measures." It is said that the intelligent colored people of Saint Louis will fight segregation to a finish and that they must do, for upon the proper settlement of this question depends their very existence. Segregation is spreading 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 for the Advancement of Colored People at New York, the same to be added to the fund for carrying the matter to the court of last resort. Who will follow suit? "BASIS OF SOCIAL STRIFF." In a recent address before the Sunday Evening Club, Bishop Charles D. Williams handed out some straight goods. We quote three sterling paragraphs: "Nine-tenths 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 who comes into the drawing-room and asks for our daughter's hand. "Think of the simple Russian, German and French peasants across the sea tonight, murdering each other. If 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- who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- gment, may con- nances relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- bors is because we don't know them. We 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 endeavored to study it from every viewpoint and if 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 a loss to understand the reasons for the bitter race prejudice and the attempts in various parts of the country to segregate people of color. "The problem was largely solved when I attended at Evanston, Illinois recently a conference of the various branches of Methodism and in which the colored branches had representation. "That a body so-called Christians should find it necessary to even discuss the question of segregating any class of people was so contrary to the spirit of Christianity that I was greatly surprised; but after a Southern delegate had in a vigorous speech opposed segregation, I was dumb-founded to see a bishop of a colored Methodist church and make a speech favoring the separation of his branch from the proposed union of Methodism. He referred to his members as "white folks' Negroes" and said 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 history or they would know that they are playing with fire. If they are segregated in the House of the Lord, segregation civilly and socially follows as a natural sequence. Old colored 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 trucking leaders who are willing to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage." HONORABLE SECRETARY "IThe 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 Central and South American trade and these two worthy segregationists will no doubt receive a rousing hearty welcome 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, from a bright yellow to a lustrous black, and he has made a great mistake if he has not included among his impedimenta samples of the famous segregated water closet which was invented by former "Honorable Assistant Secretary of the Treasury" Williams and installed in the treasury building at Washington by "The Honorable, the Secretary of the Treasury" McAdoo. Doubtless this fanned- Democratic contrivance would greatly impress many of the men of various mixtures of Indian, Negro, Portuguese and Spanish bloods, "The Honorable, the Secretary of the Treasury" will have the HONOR of meeting. And it is appropriate that "The Honorable, the Secretary of the Treasury" should steam away on the U. S. armored cruiser Tennessee. The name Tennessee, as well as that of every other state in the murder zone of the United States, is one for segregationists to conjure by, reeking as it does with civic injustice, race prejudice, jimcrow laws, religious cant, hypocrisy and lynching. 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 a Catholic priest who had worked among the colored people, by presenting him a silver tea service. So far, so good, but in his speech the colored brother who made the presentation speech said that "the white and colored 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. Either the Times-Dispatch has misquoted the speaker or he has deliberately falsified. The Planet, the Reformer and the St. Luke Herald newspapers published 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 "harmonious 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 oppressors. "Harmonious relations," "not the least sign of prejudice" and such expressions are lies and the man who utters them knows that he is a liar. A white youth at Jacksonville, Fla. raped a colored girl six years old. No talk of lynching. 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. (From the Boston Guardian.) Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, president of the Washington, D. C., Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports in the Boston Herald of Monday his attempt to get a hearing on bills for separate street cars and against intermarriage of white and Colored persons, introduced into Congress. He said to Rep. Berk Johnson, of Kentucky, champion of the District Committee, ignored his request and a hearing before the sub-committee was secured through Congressman George Holden Tinkham of Boston. When this Colored committee appeared Rep. Tinkham telephoned to the sub-committee chairman. Rep. Nelson of Georgia, that some citizens were from which bought him to the scene. The latter, viewing these citizens took Rep. Tinkham into an ante-room and practically accused him of deception in that those present were Colored Americans, supposing they were white ones, who favored the bills. He flatly refused to hear this committee and is alleged to have Rep. Tinkham: "I never were as astonished in my life when I saw me in committee rooms filled with a lot of niggers and mongrels." Tinkham Conducts Hearing. Rep. Tinkham then conducted the hearing himself, having a stenographic report made of everything said. Presumably no white member of the organization was present, and no Colored woman spoke. Colored men mentioned as speaking were Dean Kelly Miller and Prof. Geo. W. Cooke of Howard University, Mr. Grimke, Mr. Whitefield McKinlay, a wealthy business man, ex-Collector of the Port of Georgetown, James A. Cobb, Esq., and ex-Asst. W. S. District Attorney of D. C. Indifferent to South's Aggression. The article says that there will be no printed report of these arguments, because Colored persons are not considered as citizens by the Democratic majority in Congress, and that the South has deprived the Colored people of all representation in Congress (of course with the acquiescence of the North), and introduces hostile bills upon which now it tries to refuse a hearing, and now long this disregard of the rights of Colored citizens under the Constitution is to go unchecked by the "American nation." Mr. Grimke summarizes the arguments used, especially against the stigmatizing and degrading anti-intermarriage bills as follows: We showed why the bills ought not to be law; that white and Colored people have been riding in the same car in the 1865, without race friction; that there is no public demand for separate care and street railway companies are opposed them; and while we did not advocate the inter-marriage of the races, far from it, yet we were opposed to these anti-marriage bills because there is no necessity for such a law, as inter-marriage between the races is very rare and is, in fact, a negligible quantity in the District of Columbia, as such marriages constitute but a small portion of one cent of the marriages in the district. We went further and deeper, not that such a law would operate not to raise public morals but to lower them; not to prevent the inter-mixture of the races but to make amalgamation appallingly 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 child by them with impunity; that they live in wild union with white women in their womb and in unlawful union with black women in their world at one and the same time producing in consequence a vast number of mixed bloods every year. We showed 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 women, could be brought to book by the criminal law for adultery and formation with Colored women, there would be vastly larger mixture of the races in the South than is going on there at present, and the South is opposed not to illicit intercourse between the races, but only to legal sexual relations between them. Must Judge A Group by Its Best. No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the 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 sympathetic 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 blind to the first. They know aspiration among them that the others do not enter into or appreciate; they know capabilities by direct experience with the best of the race which others are obvious 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 colored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften 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 many that race are the equal of an amateur the dominant race in the highest abilities to the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their heat. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Recently the New York Age published excerpts from different race journals which—took notice of the comment, made by Editor W. E. 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 DuBois gave public utterance to his conference so doing allowed the world to know the severity of the attack. Dr. Washington. Many others may think like the editor of The Crisis, but will not dare to express it. Mr. Washington would not have been a man, if 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 shape of the destiny of the race in this country. In contrast, the acts of a man, no one should be held up as an enemy nor as unjust if the criticism is just. Those editors who abused Editor DuBois did not attempt 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 no an argument to meet him, but assaults him must be the alternative. Truly, Dr. Washington stood out as an educator of no meaning in the industrial world. He achieved his prominence in that portion of the country where great antagonism to the advance of the race existed. He had to to "stoop to conquer." 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 is educated. 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. 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 special backing of Tuskegee institute, by the most influential 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 life-time destroyed more of our men by lynching, and lawlessness than at any other period of its history. Sixth: 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 is organized, the device for segregation and oppression, Mr. Washington lived. Seventh; Mr. Washington lived. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a black-and-white photograph of a person, but the details are not clear. M. W. H. DR. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS see the Supreme Court of the nation declare unconstitutional the very devices which he asked the race to submit to. In other words, that court asserted that the intention of the amendments, that made the race citizens, was that they should exercise the franchise for the protection of their citizenship. Eight: Though Tuskegee attempted to keep both races in a kindly attitude, no man was more abused than Mr. Washington when he ate with the president of the United States. The summary is, the very things Mr. Washington desired most to accomplish he died without seeing. For twenty years he labored to have his people secure the rudiments of a common school education and enjoy the friendly attitude of their white neighbors. This he did not realize any considerable extent. The editor of The Crisis believed the very attitude of Dr. Washington riveted upon the race the very evils he sought to dissipate. The editors that belabor the editor of The Crisis should disprove this position or acknowledge their mistake in unjustly attacking a wise man. Evidently, no man will attempt to foster to the same extent the policies of Mr. Washington, but doubtful that Tuskegee can continue doubtful that Oslo orate scale, unless philanthropy endows while the country feels keenly the death of its founder. All sensible persons believe the race must have material basis upon which to stand. It must also be remembered that the material prosperity of every people is protected by the skill and brains of the learned in the law that guide industrial enterprises. No race needs learned professional men as much as our race. No race needs a leadership equipped with the very essence of equipment to the race. When men say that William E. B. DuBois have done nothing, they stultify themselves. He has his faults, but he also has the virtues of manhood, scholarship and ability that will immortalize him. There are many students who look with pride upon their stay in the class room under this man of brains and the influence of his teachings has permeated this country. Great scholars are a race's greatest assets. It is time for the race, and especially its press, to rise of our men who are men and will be able to know it. We must learn to differ from men and respect them. If the crisiphile editor of the Crisis was in opportunity at the time, the vitialic attack on him is more so. Let us hope the press will learn to be just to the living.—Rev. William A. Byrd, Rochester, N. Y., in the Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio. The Lynching of Haiti But, why not Mexico? Well, Mexico has a population of 15,000,000. It has several men calling themselves generals, backed by armies that will fight. We are a peaceable people; we will not fight any people who can fight back. The helpless and unarmed are our prey. Just as we lynch helpless Negroes this administration has lynched the Haitian government. THE NEW YORK TIMES ST. PAUL WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.

E. church will also receive $2.50 for each automatic Tri-State telephone ordered, through the secretary, Mrs. W. H. Reynolds, or any member of that organization. Those contemplating installing the new automatic service, which is soon to be cut over, should order through these organizations. Officials of the Tri-State Telephone company will announce within a short time, the exact date of the "cut-over" in St. Paul from manual to automatic. In speaking regarding this matter Mr. G. W. Robinson, president, said: "The immense task of changing over from one system to another in the cities and in St. Paul in particular, has progressed rapidly. The system will be in operation in St. Paul several months ahead of the "cut-over" in Minneapolis. This fact will not, in any way, interfere with inter-city communication over Tri-State lines. Until both cities are equipped with automatic, St. Paul subscribers will dial number 9 for Minneapolis operator. Minneapolis subscribers will call the system as at present. After the "cut-over" in both cities, subscribers in either city will dial the number of the party desired the same as for a purely local connection. A great many people believe the St. Paul system will revert from manual to automatic in sections. This idea is erroneous. Every private and party line Tri-State telephone in the same time and at the same given subscribers regarding the exact day and hour of the change. Until such notice is given Tri-State telephone users should not attempt to use their new automatic numbers or the dial, in any way or for any purpose." HON. A. O.

Those who have not had the pleasure of dancing on this floor, should not miss this chance. I am making preparations to accommodate them, and people on dance comfortably. This will not be an invitation affair this time, owing to the fact that I do not know the addresses of the people of the Twin Cities. I would like to ask right here of every one that comes to please write your name and address on a piece of paper before you leave home and give it in at the box office, so when I give you a piece of paper with instructions to you. In regard to invitations, I this will not keep the good class of people away, because nobody likes class better than I. I will have a five-piece orchestra this time and next time I will have an eight-piece orchestra. Don't look to find a drum and piano orchestra, but an orchestra of five pieces and everything I advertise you will also find. Let us all come out and have a good time. Yours truly, Ulrich Gatliff. To Be a Real Swell Grand Society Function. THE SWELLEST FUNCTION that is to be is the CHARITY ENTERTAINMENT to be given under the management of Mrs. J. E. Cloak, at Union Hall for the benefit of Crispus Attucks home, Tuesday evening, April 25. There is a list of 110 patrons and patronesses for this affair which spells success from the beginning. An entertaining program will be presented. There will be an exhibition contest drill between a corps of 16 ladies and 16 gentlemen in full dress costume, under the command of Capt. Chas. H. Miller. There will also be a ticket selling contest that will astonish the natives. The object for which this entertainment is given should arouse our generosity but then too, all you would want is money's worth. That society is really interested in this entertainment and that it will be a grand success, cannot be doubted if it is to be judged by those who are assisting to make it such as patrons and patronesses, of which the following is the list: MESSRS. AND MESDAMES. J. C. Holl S. E. Hall O. C. Hall J. Q. Adams F. B. Simpson G. W. James Wm Pettit C. L. Smith Dewiter F. D. McCracken C. H. Miller F. J. Loomis C. W. Wigington W. V. Loomis C. M.

AND MESDAMES Roy Walker, who was tried this week on the charge of stealing some clothes from a West Fourth street tailor, put on the clothes for the benefit of the jury and satisfied them that they were his clothes and he was discharged. James Cormican, Esq., was his attorney. Jim Spencer, evidently a transient, met Detective J. C. Black on the street last Monday night and as he did not know the officer he begged for a dime to get a body bag. Black said yes, he would get him bed, and he called up Central station and secured one for him, as it is unlawful to beg upon the streets. SAMUEL McCRACKEN SCOTT. Cut Down in the Flower of His Youth by the Hand of Death. Though every one knows that, sooner or later, all mankind must die; that in one form or another, the grim monster will visit each and every one of us, his last call is seldom looked forward to without some semblance of horror. We know that "the old must died" and as time speeds along we, in a measure, almost unconscious, prepare his visit, and the death of the person does not shock our sensibilities to the same extent as when one young in years is called to that bourne from whence traveler returns. Hence we are terribly shocked when some young person is cut off in the flower of youth. Just such a shock was given to the people of the Twin Cities when they learned of the untimely death of Mr. Samuel McCracken Scott last Sunday. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Scott and was born in St. Paul, Nov. 29, 1893, and therefore was but 23 years of age at the time of his death. During the early years of his life he attended the public grade schools of St. Paul graduating from Madison school. He then entered Mechanic Arts High School and graduated from this time he was a member of the then famous "Boys' Culture Club" and was captain of the football team. He then went to Minneapolis to live with his mother, Mrs. Arthur White, and entered Central High School in 1911 and made the football team and won SAMUEL McCRACKEN SCOTT. his "C" during his first year, but sustained some bodily injuries that afterward barred him from playing with the team. He graduated from Central High School with the class of 1914 and last year entered the Pharmaceutical Department of the University of Minnesota, where it was his intention to pursue the course but failing health prevented him from active study. He was a prominent member of the younger social set, and was a member of the choir of St. Thomas Episcopal church. He was of a mild and lovable disposition and was so generally liked that one might say the number of his friends was exactly the same as that of his acquaintances. He was devoted to his mother and she to him and her grief at his untimely demise was pitiable to behold. Only a few weeks ago was his condition discovered to be hopeless but he was patient and courageous and only a week ago he sent for Father A. H. Lealtad, rector of St. Thomas, who administered communion. The funeral was held on last Wednesday from the residence of his mother, 2832 Fifth Avenue So., at 1:30 and from St. Thomas church at 2:30 o'clock, Father Lealatt officiating, and who delivered a most admirable sense to the members of the bereaved family and admonitions to all to make preparations for the inevitable. The church was completely filled with sorrowing friends of the deceased and the extremely large quantity of magnificent floral tributes bore mute but beautiful evidence of the love and devotion of the donors. The church choir with some additions furnished beautiful and appropriate music. Miss Lillian McCoy sang as a solo "Asleep in Jesus." The pall bearers were: Messrs Carolown, Louis Moore, Harvey Moss, Huckle Brady, James and Courtney Hilyard. Messrs Donald and Parley Brady were flower bearers. O. A. Lawrence funeral director. Interment at Lakewood. MONTE CARLO GIRLS. The Attraction at the Star Theatre Next Week. The Monte Carlo Girls come to the Star Theatre week commencing Sunday matinee, March 26th.

Dependability vs. The Automatic Telephone Nine out of every ten "accidents" are failures of the human factor, and not of machinery. The Automatic dial on the private switchboard in the Great Northern general offices, St. Paul, has a record of over 175,000 calls registered without a single error and without a single adjustment. Practically one call in every 100 involves a mistake with the manual system. OBVIOUSLY——The Automatic telephone isn't a substitute—it's a necessity.
