During Course of Evening Generals Colonals, Majors, Captains and Lieu- tenants Exchange Greetings—New York Hotel Made Over to Represent Military Reservation on the Hudson. New York.—From the Atlantic to the Pacific West Pointers recently celebrated the one hundred and fourteenth anniversary of the founding of the Military academy at West Point. In New York more than 300 dined at the Hotel Astor, as many more dined in San Francisco, while about 200 sat about the tables in Chicago. In lesser numbers the sons of the Point gathered in St. Louis, in New Orleans, in Galveston, in San Antonio, while in far away Honolulu and Manila other hundreds assembled and sang the anthem "Hall, Alma Mater, Dear," and yelled the "Rahi rahi rahi" of the "army." Through the courtesy of the American Telephone company the diners in New York, Chicago and San Francisco were linked together, and in the course of the evening generals and colonels and majors and captains and leutenants exchanged greetings and cracked jokes at one another's expense across the continent. For instance, Colonel John N. Bellinger of Governors Island Photo by American Press Association. COLONEL EDWIN E. GLENN, CHIEF OF STAFF, EASTERN DEPARTMENT. sympathetic with his old cadet chum Holabird in Chicago because of the latter's thinning locks, while Holabird retorted by asking the South Carolina colonel why it was that his forty old summers did not make him "less noisy than was the case when you were the noisest youngster at West Point." Major General J. Franklin Bell, commanding the western department of the army, with headquarters in San Francisco, who was the ranking officer with Colonel J. C. F. Funktion, talked with Colonel J. C. F. Funktion, and was surprised to learn that the colonel was not one of the "hucky chaps" chasing Villa. Had the United States kept Vera Cruz and had Frederick Funston remained in command there, General Bell, who was relieved a year ago of the border command by the little Kansan, would probably be directing operations from San Antonio. Brigadier General E. C. Young, who was also in San Francisco, asked Colonel J. C. F. Funktion, who dined in New York, so some General Charles King, the famous army novelist, who dined with the crowd in Chicago, was overheard by the New Yorkers to tell Colonel W. H. Hunter, who was in Chicago, that he might write a story based on the pursuit of Pancho Villa. Leutenant Phil-Mathews of Fort Totten also got a word in and told Leutenant A. J. Davis, who was in San Francisco, that West Point was sure to beat Annapolis again next fall. The hallroom of the Hotel A, in which the New York dinner was served, was made over to represent West Point. Among those at the dinner were Colonel C. P. Townsley, the superintendent of the Military academy; Major General W. Goethals, governor of the Panama canal zone; Colonel John L. Chamberlain, inspector general of the eastern department; Colonel Edwin F. Glenn, chief of staff on Governors island; Captain Halstead Dorey, al- on the staff of Major General Leonard Wood; Colonels C. P. Echols, Samuel E. Tillman of the academic staff of West Point; Colonel B. O. Mitcham and Major W. I. (Texas) Westervelt, the ordinance experts from Sandy Hook: ex-Police Commissioners theodore A. Bingham and Douglas I. McKay, Captain Matthew B. Hanna, Brigadier F. F. Floods, commanding the North Atlantic artillery district; Colonel John M. Carnahan, George R. Goethals, Captain H. J. Koehler, Colonel C. M. Tulli, Colonel W. G. Han, Colonel Beverly W. Dunn, Loyal Fearn, Major W. J. Hawkins, Colonel Delamere Skerrett, Captain H. W. Beavers and William C. Muscheinheim, the last named the only diner from civilian life. COWS WEAR DRESSES Made of Hemp Cloth to Protect Them From the Cold. San Francisco — An authority on dress and its cut for dairy cows is a guest at the St. Francis, in the person of Sir Francis Webster of Glasgow, a wealthy manufacturer of hemp goods in Scotland and the owner of a stock range in Texas embracing 1,500,000 acres of land of head stock. Sir Francis's thousands of pressured regularly every winter in suits of hemp cloth made at his own manufacturing establishment, to protect them from the cold and snow, minimize the dangers from tuberculosis and increase their daily yield of milk. Each cow has two suits a week. They are not elaborate dress affairs by any means, with lingerie and all that. It is a man made dress of one piece, or simply a coverall blanket that fits lounges. This, of course, means added expense, but the yield of milk during the cold weather is about 27 per cent larger than from cows not similarly protected. OLD INDIAN LEAVES HOSPITAL Chief, Over 100, Was More Comfortable on Floor Than in Cot. Cass Lake, Mina—Captain John Smith, the aged Chippawan Indian chief, a well known character in this portion of Minnesota, who was struck and badly injured by a Great Northern locomotive in the yards here recently, has left the hospital and gone to the home of a son. The venerable Indian, reputed to be 117 years old, making him by far the oldest man in Minnesota, if not in the United States, grew better from the very day he was carried in an unconscious condition to the hospital. As soon as he collected his senses he declined to remain on a hospital cot and made the nurse fix up a bed for him, but he was found contentment. He also called for his pipe and tobacco and, because of his age, was humored. He smoked constantly and rapidly grew better, as it developed that while he had been bruised and shocked, he had not been seriously injured. Woman, Ninety, Begins Meals With Dessert. Melrose, Mass. — Mrs. James Rodie celebrated her nineteenth birthday anniversary several days ago. She is in excellent health and attributes this fact to an astonishing diet that consists largely of chocolates, puddings, fruits and other sweetmeats. Mrs. Rodie was personally conducting the frying of a batch of five dozen doughnuts when the reporter called at her home. While in conversation with him she ate several hot doughnuts, and upon being asked if she was troubled with indigestion she replied that she had relied dainty foods more in her old age than when she was young. Mrs. Rodie's spry old lady of Melrose, and every morning during good weather she takes a walk of two miles or more just for a "little exercise," as she terms it. Mrs. Rodie is a zealous worker and exhibited for the reporter's benefit over twenty-five fancy woven knit table pieces that she had completed since last fall. She also assists her daughter-in-law, with whom she lives, in the general housework, and twice a week she dusts all the furniture in the house. Mrs. Rodie has an excellent appetite. Every morning she has cake and coffee for breakfast, sometimes eating a coffee oatmeat. Her daughter-in-law told her that she eats a few ways eats her dessert first and the last she is hungry she will eat a little meat. She eats on the average a box of chocolates a week. Mrs. Rodie is a fresh air enthusiast and has not slept in a room with any of the windows closed for over sixty years. She is also a firm follower of the "early to bed and early to rise" rule, for she retires every evening at 7 o'clock and is up bright and early at 6 o'clock the next morning. PROPOSE MARRIAGE TRUST. Indiana Justices of the Peace May Get Together Upon Carenations. Jeffersonville, Ind.-Some of the six justices of the peace of Jefferson, who fight among themselves for "marriage couples," are proposing a combination whereby all six would establish central marrying parors and would pool and divide equally all their earnings. The chief benefit would be the elimination of the "runners," with whom the justices now split their fees, which only in exceptional cases amount to more than $3. One result of the competition has been the cutting of fees. Many eloping couples now get married for $1. Secret weddings generally cost the elopers a little more, and a twenty-five dollar fee shows up in once a while. Sends Wilson 60 Cents For a Divorce. Washington — President Wilson received a plea from a citizen of Georgia asking for a divorce. A money order for 60 cents as a fee or for expenses was inclosed in the letter. The Georgian explained that he had been deserted by his wife. "We did not fall out," he wrote; "she stepped out." TAMES WILD DUCKS. Madison (Wis.) Resident Has a Flock of Nearly 200 of Them. Madison, Wis.-Wild ducks may be domesticated and raised on the farm as well as tame ones. The plan has been tried by J. C. Halpin of this city for the past three years with success. Last fall he had a flock of nearly 200, and when the cold weather came on they took their regular "spin" in the skies and then returned to the yards. The wild duck sells for more than the tame variety because of the flavor of the meat. The first birds were kept in captivity by clipping the wings, but the young duck are as easily handled as domestic ones. These domesticated mallards retain many of the instincts peculiar to wild nature. Let one mallard start limping and in less than ten minutes, unless something is done to attract attention elsewhere, a majority will be limping. TWINS AND BURGLARS. Latter Left When They Found the Stork Have Come to the House STOCK HAS Come to the House. Kansas City, Mo.-Because the stork and burglaries selected the same time to visit M. H. Brotherson of No. 644 Ohio avenue, Kansas side, the burglaries to withdraw and postpone their visit. The stork left twin boys. Mr. Brotherson now is the father of six children. Brotherson hastened to his store next door. Brotherson at doctor at 5 a. m. He hurried in, plucked up the telephone, and as he jiggled the receiver nervously he heard a noise in the rear of the store. "Come quick!" he said over the wire. The noise increased, and something fell. He stepped out the front door, quickly locked it and hurried home. The twins having arrived safe and sound and the excitement abated, he went back to the store. The back door was open, some sacks gone and a pile of boxes overturned. Platform of Alabama Man Who Seeks Election. Birmingham, Ala.—Dr. John S. Gillespie, who was court clerk in this county for twenty years, is out as candidate for county treasurer, announcing as the chief plank in his platform conviction of the uselessness of the office and declaring his purpose to do everything in his power for its abolishment. It is the first time in the history of the country, so far as known here, that a candidate for public office has run on a platform to abolish it. Mrs. Flotibel Brown Ohme, one of the best known educators in the state, is a candidate for membership on the Jefferson county board of education. She is the first woman in the south, so far as known here, to become a candidate for an elective public office. Women cannot vote in this state. She is relying on the men to elect her, and her prospects for success are generally regarded as highly favorable. James A. Mitchell, a prominent lawyer of Birmingham, recently published an article severely criticising the state he had conducted before calling on a case he had conducted before that tribunal, and strongly intimated that he was unduly influenced. For this he was cited to appear before the court and show why his license to practice before it should not be canceled. He answered this summons by announcing himself a candidate for chief justice of the supreme court, which is filled in this state by popular election. WOLVES CHASE MESSENGER Duluth Youth Breaks Record When Pursued by Wolves. Duluth, Minn. -Silicon Morgan, nineteen years old, a telegraph messenger boy, recently broke all messenger boy speed records. Morgan lives at Duluth Heights and gets through work at 1 a.m. When within a block of his home he heard a patter of feet on the frozen walk behind him. Two gaunt timber wolves with blinding eyes follow him. Morgan speeded for the wodded and shummed the door shut as the night prowlers dashed against it. A friendly dog, hearing the disturbance, interfered and was considerably chewed up so much so that it was killed later. Clarence Johnson, a neighbor, raised his window and emptied both barrels of a shotgun at the wolves, putting them to flight. Page and Great-grandfather. Lafayette, Ind. -Not many great-grandfathers can be of having a bouncing baby daughter. Feat. Landes, a farmer northeast of Lafayette, holds this record. Landes, who is a civil war veteran, seventy-four years old, was for many years a widower. A year ago, however, he married a young woman he had known for years. A baby daughter was born to them. Landes has a great number of grandchildren and one great-grand-child. Red, White and Blue Pigs. Connellsville, Pa. -W. E. Mier of Pennsville has a patriotic boy. With the thermometer registering 4 degrees below zero her hosghelp gave birth to ten pigs. Four are white, three red and three blue. MILITARY TRAINING FOR SCHOOLBOYS Youngest Army Ever Called Mobilized In New York. OFFICERS TALK TO YOUTHS Preparations Being Made by Association to Accommodate 15,000 Boys at a Camp During the Summer—Many Prominent Men Have Their Sons Enrolled—General Weed Co-operates. New York.—The youngest army ever called together was mobilized recently. One thousand New York schoolboys, aged twelve and up, met at national guard armories in Manhattan and Brooklyn to enroll for the big summer camp which is being organized by the National School Camp association of 1 roadway. The assignment which answered the call to the colors is but the first group of what is expected to be the largest schoolboy organization in the city. Preparations are being made by the association to accommodate as many as 15,000 boys at the camp during the summer. The meetings were held with the approval and co-operation of Major General Leonard Loomis who detailed officers under his command to be present at the armories and talk to the boys enlisting. The largest and most enthusiastic meeting was held at the Twenty-third Infantry Regiment armory on Bedford avenue, Brooklyn. Fully 600 boys enrolled and cailed Captain T. E. Murphy of Fort Wadsworth, who spoke to the officer told them of the advantages of preparedness. He narrated the history of the country, giving examples of the heavy price was paid for lack of preparedness. Many prominent men attended the meeting to enroll their sons. Colonel Chamberlain of General Wood's staff brought his boy to stand in line with the sons of Colonel Mitcham, also of General Wood's staff, and of Lieutenant Commander Jessup of the Brooklyn navy yard. The faculty of the Brooklyn Polytechnic institute also present. There is a plan under way to organize a battalion in the institute to attend the camp. The idea of a great camp within trolley distance of New York has proved a most popular one. Hundreds of boys have had their applications filed a considerable time, while hundreds of parents have also written the association asking permission to enroll their boys. The camp will probably be located on Staten Island, though the site has not yet been definitely picked. It will be located in a nearby school, and this detail, the work will follow closely that done in growups' organizations. Any boy over twelve in public school, high school or college is eligible to join. It is expected that a corps will be formed of medical students, who will have a splendid opportunity to study the important subject of camp sanitation. The camp will open July 1 and will be held for two months. Boys may remain there from two weeks to the entire two months if they choose. The entire cost to each boy will be about $10 a day. The young soldier will be supplied his own uniform, which will be similar to that of the boy scouts. The incipient soldiers will be put through a stiff course of training in general field work, open order work and the other regulation army drills. In the meantime, before the camp is opened, the enrolled members of the camp will drill several days every week in the city armories. JAIL BETTER THAN HOME. Kruse Paid to Stay There Rather Than With His Relatives. Chicago. — August Kruse, who for five years has been a voluntary inmate of the Du Page county jail at Wheaton, Ill., rather than live with relatives, who doubted his sanity, told the sheeriff he was going west to live on a farm. Kruse paid the county $1 a day for the privilege of living in the jail. In 1906 a petition to have him declared insane was heard in the county court. He was found to be sane, but would not return to his home, and after five years' absence returned to Wheaton and arranged for quarters in the same fall to which he had been taken years earlier. "I want to get back to the farm," said Kruse. "I sit here and think of what I used to do, and I'm going to begin over again. I'm going away off, not back to the old farm." FALL CORRECTS HIS VISION. Broker Hita His Head on Bidewalk and Doesn't Need Glasses. Pittsfield, Mass.—Henry Travers, Jr., insurance and real estate broker, fell on an ice sidewalk recently, attaking on his head and neck. For several years Mr. Travers had worn glasses, but upon returning to his office after the he discovered his nose in beer and real wine without them. Mr. Travers does not urge this method of treatment for falling eyesight. Defective Page SAY HIDDEN GOLD IS MYTH. California Travelers Find No Treasure in Patagonia. San Francisco.-Hidden gold in Patagonia, to which Captain Thomas Owens was to lead the band of adventurers on the schooner Academy, was a myth, according to four members of the ill fated expedition, who returned to San Francisco on the Pacific mailer Newport from Balboa. They said that Owens' real name is John Owen Whoflatter, a captain of the gibbon and that for three and half months she sailed aimlessly the Pacific until they finally reached the Colombian coast. The Academy left San Francisco June 21 of last year bound for Patagonia, where Captain Owens said there was gold that rivaled the wealth of the Incas. With him were several Californians who had invested in the enterprise with hopes of great gain. Eugene L. Halle, H. E. Schuck, William Simms and H. F. Radke, who home on the Newport, were authority on the Newport, where Owens was incompetent, that he tried to the Academy back to San Francisco and that he proposed to sell the schooner in Cailao and buy a tug to take them to the fabulous mines. OFFICE FOR EACH CITIZEN. California Town, With Nine Men, Has Nine Jobs To Fill. Coram, Cal.-This town, the smallest in the state, has a registered population of twenty-one, and only nine of these are men. C. W. Baker, a town trustee, does not want to run again, as he is justice of the peace of Keswick township and has honor enough. The other men have all consented to accept the offices, of which there are nine. No nomination petitions have been filed. The election on April 10 will be conducted on the "write in" plan. Women will sit on the election board, as it is against the law for candidates to enact an election. Mayor J. Grady is mining at Siskiyou county with his partner, City Clerk Klinyon. The city marshal and city treasurer are both gone. The only source of revenue is the $25 a quarter license collected from each of the two saloons. The money is ample, for there are funds in the treasury and there are no debts. Denver.—Some of the difficulties that face the United States army in its pursuit of Villa were told here by James H. Cook, who in 1885 was chief scout for the Eighth United States cavalry that crossed into Mexico and captured Geronimo, the Apache chief. He led the American soldiers over much of the country the United States soldiers must cover to get Villa. He said, "A veritable zone of death will have to be traversed by the American troopers. They will have to go over some of the worst country in the world. If Villa chooses he can fight as Geronimo and his followers did—go back into the mountains, kill his horses, scatter on foot and pick our soldiers off one by one from behind rocks. It may take us months, even years, to get Villa. "But no men on earth are better for the faster than the officers in charge of the military. I presume they only know Leutnant Colonel D. C. Cabel, now chief of staff to General Pershing. He was with me on the Geronimo expedition and knows the country as well as any white man. "The airplane will assist our troops in the campaign, but it cannot match with all the difficulties of the region. Between the peaks are deep canyons, sometimes 1,000 feet deep and less than forty feet wide. These ravines cannot be crossed by any except the country. They can get over on foot. "The only thing that makes the expedition look hopeful to me is my faith in the men who command it." HEIFERS FOR FIFTY BOYS. Illinois Bank is to Lend Stock to Farmers' Sons. St. Louis—Fifty boys in and near Brighton, Ill., will have an opportunity given by the First National bank of Brighton to earn some money easily and at the same time learn something of stock breeding. Thomas Chamberlain, cashier, will go to Wisconsin and buy fifty Holstein heifers. They will be taken to Brighton, and distributed among the boys, their educational security for or animals. The heifers will be bred, and the next fall they will be sold at auction. All the money in excess of $40 that the animals bring will be given to the boys who have cared for them. The bank figures that this will also have a good effect on the grade of milk cows in that neighborhood. Commuted 500,000 Miles. Tarrytown, N. Y.-Edgar Failchilds, seventy three years old, died at his home in Brighton. Mr. Failchilds was the oldest commuter from this station. It is estimated that he traveled 500,000 miles in thirty years. He leaves a wife and two brothers. FIRE DRILL SAVES VILLAGE. Sag Harbor Watch Case Factory Men Aid Inadequate Force. Sag Harbor, N. Y.-Fire drill in the watch case factory of Failry钻 & Co. is believed to have saved the village from destruction by fire. Nine business buildings were destroyed at a loss estimated at $75,000. The village water supply proved inadvised to the alarm at the watch case factory wasounded, the operatives hurried from their homeillzed as taught in the fire drill, manned a big pump in the factory, helped the firemen with fire and saved the rest of the village after a hard four hour fight. Water froze on the firemen's clothes, and several were overcome by exposure. Women and girls made huge kettles of coffee and served cups to the firemen. MAROONED OVER MONTH. Had Sack of Flour and Package of Oatmeal, but Went Crazy. Clayoquot, B. C.-Marooned for thirty-four days on a small island in the Pacific ocean is the experience of Everett Fitzpatrick, a rancher of Flores Island, according to received here. He left Ahouasat, where he had purchased provisions, alone in a canoe, and a small uninhabited island he was caused to squall and his canoe was swamped. Fitzpatrick managed to save a sack of flour, a package of oatmeal and a few matches. A case of coal oil also was washed ashore. On these provisions he existed for more than a month. Big waves washed over the small island, and he himself to one of the trees he managed to tie on. He was found by two Pesquoit Indians in a demented condition. 5,000 GUNSTOCKS A DAY. Forests Stripped of Walnut For Kansas City's War Factories. Kansas City—The woodman is not sparing the walnut tree these days. East, west, north or south of Kansas City there are cars loaded with walnut logs on the sliding and more logs piled on the ground. The timber is coming here to be waved to the wind. Three hundred pairs of logs are coming into Kansas City a mouth, and close to 5,000 gunstocks are being turned out every day. Two plants have the business, a walnut and veneer company in Sheffield and another company in Armourdale. The woods are locked by high barbed wire fences, locked gates and warning signs. But the nervousness of war contract holders is easing up. BECOMES BRIDE AFTER PHONE INTRODUCTION Theater Party Culminates In Bachelor Girl's Marriage. Boston.—Whatever may be the status of the telephone introduction in books of etiquette—formal, informal or distinctly bohemian—it is likely to least one recent betrothed and marriage in high social circles. Recently Alfred Borden, son of Mr. and Spencer Borden of Fall River, was content with his bachelorhood. That was before he had heard over the wire the sweet voice of Miss Susan B. Ellis of Surrey, England. He came to hear it in this way: One night he had "called up" from his father's cotton mills his friend, Mrs. Humphreys, and asked her to go with to a theater. Mrs. Humphreys had a headache, or a previous engagement, or something of equal importance, and couldn't go. It was a pity, though, to leave Mr. Borden a prey to the enmu of a lonely bachelor evening, and then the seets too! Mrs. Humphreys would do her best to fix it. Not many moments later Mr. Borden was being introduced through the receiver to Mrs. Humphreys' sister, Miss Ellis, whom Mr. Borden had, strangely enough, never met, in spite of her success as "the bachelor girl" of Southampton, N. Y., last summer. To make a long story short, Miss Ellis and Mr. Borden went to the theater, taking Cupid along as a supercargo in the taxi. The little fellow did the only a few weeks later their engagement, and the couple were married in the church of St. George's church, Stuyvesant square, New York. The bride's father was present, having come over from England for the ceremony. After their wedding trip Mrs. Borden will live at Short Hills, N. J. OBJECTS TO A BATH. Ran Away from Poor Farm Because It was First Scrub in Twenty Years. Jeffersonville, Ind.-Man's constitutional right not to take a bath has been raised in the case of D. W. Dodson. A away from the poor farm near Charlesville he was put in a tub and scrubbed. Dodson entered the institution of his own accord, but stayed there only a short time, returning to Undervow. He alleges that he was forced to take a bath and that he was scrubbed with a stiff brush and asserts that "it was a mistake and one to be soused in water this time." He says when one has not had a bath in more than twenty years. $2.40 PER YEAR. STEPS ARE TAKEN TO AID RED CROSS Name E. A. Moree, Director of Atlantic Division.

Marinette, WI. — The postoffice at Washington Harbor, Door county, has been discontinued for the reason that ill health prevented the postmaster, L.P.

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 470234 REV. A. J. CAREY, A. M., D. D., Ph. D. Eloquent Pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. Church, Chicago.

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? Constitution of the United State 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 the reside. That covers the case of the Eaves family. Both parents and the boy were born here and are citizen by right of birth, and this country as much their country as it is the country of any other persons who were born here. Vardaman, Tillman and some other or more notorious sons of the South have announced that this is HANDS OFF PUBLIC SCHOOL In a strong report to the Religious Education association, Dr. George A. Coe, professor of religious education in the Union Theological seminary, New York, gives reasons why church and public schools should be separate: "The opposing religious bodies are still watchful of one another. No workable plan for increasing the religious functions in the public schools is likely to be agreed upon. "The argument for teaching the Bible in the public schools on the ground of its literary merits seems to have had little weight because it has been advanced by religionists from evidently religious motives. "The forces that are devoting themselves assidiously to the reform of religious education are rarely, if ever eager to commit religious functions to the state. The demand that the public schools provide religious education proceeds in large measure from persons who feel that something needs to be done, but have not yet become absorbed in the details of the reconstruction that is already under way within the churches." The reasons are logical and those who wish to carry religious teaching into the public schools are enemies of the state. T. R. discovered a new bird on his visit to Trinidad and T. R. is some thing of a bird himself. The Columbia Heights Athletic Club, composed mostly of present and past pupils of the Monroe grade school, have just given a minstrel show at the Wilson Normal school, Washington, D. C. The participants were white, blacked up with burnt cork and the evening was given up to burlesquing colored people. It is an outrage that a public school should be used for such a purpose. Colored Washington ought to get busy and see that such an outrage does not occur again. TEACHING TREASON. 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 THE MAN WHO DARES 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 Sumner. 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 they would be greatly pleased if the colored people would accept that view of the matter and get off the earth or at least out of the country; in fact some of these "statemen" have suggested the deportation of all colored citizens. 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 friendish 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. Is this retribution? 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 difficult thing to do at best, this ridding one's self of prejudice, particularly of color prejudice. There appears to be no concern colored to the American proposition of liberty, 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 lald upon him to act so far as possible free from prejudices, there is a very large opportunity to consider and banish a certain race. We have had the race with us almost from the beginning and will have it to the end, which injustice has been wrought and will be taught if we do not confirm or grant of not only toleration but friendliness to this race. "On Tuesday night at the Plymouth 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 prejudice of prejudice. It is an illumination of what are 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 American, can malign 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." 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 arise 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 truckling leaders who are willing to sell their birthright for a mess of potage." HONORABLE SECRETARY VISITS. "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 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 impediments samples of the 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 new-fangled 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. "BASIS OF SOCIAL STRIFE." 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 neighbors 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 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. MIXING THE RACES The South, that is the white South is not opposed to racial admixture, but being at heart thoroughly immoral it insists that the mixing be done in an illegal manner. The mixing which has already been accomplished was started by the white South. It began in the days of slavery, when the white master forced the black slave women to bear children, who followed the condition of their mothers and became slaves. A few masters manumitted their half breed children, but they were the exceptions to the general rule. Many masown offspring for sale and in time theters made a practice of breeding their raising of children for the slave markets became a recognized Southern industry. Since the abolition of slavery, the white South, claiming Christ as its guiding star, has enacted laws making Christian marriage a felony, thus directly aiding immorality. The white South has in every way endeavored to humiliate and degrade its colored people the majority of whom have more or less Caucasian blood. Search history through; read the atrocities of the barbarian invasions of the early days, read the barbariates of the Middle Ages; read of the Inquisition; read the story of the French Revolution; read of Russia's persecution of the Jews; read of civilized (?) Europe's rape of Africa; read the 'horrors of the Christians' war now devastating Europe. Add all of these together and they will not equal in blackness what Southern white people have meted out to their own sons and daughters to their own brothers and sisters, who are of a slightly darker hue. It is the blackest page in the annals of the world. Vice President Marshall in a recent speech put President Wilson in the Abraham Lincoln class. He hardly belongs there, for fifty years after Lincoln gave freedom to the slave and their descendants had advanced in education, morality and good citizenship to equality with other citizens, Wilson has endeavored to turn back the hands of time and treat them as if they were lepers. Many colored people are advocating "self effacement" for the race as the solution of the race problem. The more the race gives the more its enemies will demand. Never willingly relinquish any right. American Christianity is a travesty on the real article. The main object in the life of the average Caucasian-American Christian seems to be to hold his colored brother down. No question is settled until it is settled right. There will be no peace in this country until the colored man has every right guaranteed under the Constitution. The word "negro" applied to the majority of the colored people is just as much of a lie after it has been capitalized as it was before. Be Americans. GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men!

(From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor at work at the present time, caring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bols and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inscribed as applied to millions of colored uninjured, that it is also alarmingly injurious, for the fact reasons: a. It has never stood historically in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negro-head, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly, in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought sympathy and co-operation of the million covered Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN W. WALLER, M. D. Must Judge A Group by Its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston Mass.) 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 better than first. They know asplations among them that the others do not know, or knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; do not capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obliquous 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 individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously canyed with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their, At any rate, they ought to credit to them whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom). I am a human being.

Holland. Molière! Though the cathedrals quarrel together and sing praises with siege-guns to their own little foolish national souls, and rain bombs on each other's naves, I take my stand by the great bells ringing in their towers, by the souls of their poets overriding the years, by the prayers and songs of their heroes, artists, inventors, by the mothers and the little children. We are all in the same world. We are all alike. I will not say of any one nation what I will not say of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself. OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION (FROM the Boston Guardian) That we much rather be, and associate among ourselves, is a saying by Colored Americans that has been almost true. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and innate inferiority. It is an utter impossibility for the two races to subscribe to a common government, and at the same time, each race work our salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted into a ghastly failure; instead of making for harmony and good feeling between two races, it has increased race hatred and antisemption in leaps and bounds. We have needed too long the advice from false treacherous leadership that resistance is wrong, that it only breeds race red and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow. We have followed this "advice" faithfully and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is one blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women defenseless to the mercy of white brutes — separate schools, jimcrow cars, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from non-resistance" and "rather be by ourselves." That with the same degree of efforty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same efforty and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us that is a fact. Every congress official legislation degrading and inimical to well being. Race prejudice, therefore, can only be worn down by attrition. We must send our children, and go our students to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races consequently become accustomed to one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. Embitters All but Docile Negro. (for the Savannah Tribune.) In many of the Southern States, years ago, colored troops were allowed and manned. One by one these states disbanded the colored troops. Georgia was also organized than any of the other states, and was the last to disband the colored troops. In event of war, especially of any duration, the colored man will be badly needed, but has been trained, or has he been encouraged to take up armed fight in defense of his country? He has been proscribed and debarred of many privileges that are justly his and which would embitter any other race but the docile Negro. (From the Martinsburg Pioneer-Press) All hall to our brave confrence the Hon. H. C. Smith, editor of the old reliable Gazette for going to the Governor of Ohio, and preventing that infernal play, "The Nigger," to be exhibited in the great state of Ohio.

Every factory won by the few courageous agitators encourages others to step into the arena of defence; and may the time soon when-cowards will be unknown, all stand united for manhood rights.
