Yale Professor, After an Exhaustive Study on Question of Vitality of Our Public Men, Declares Life is the Long One. New Haven, Conn.—That the simple life is the long one and that the convivial social life of the nation's representatives in congress is not conducive to longevity, but has, on the contrary, been the means of offending at a too early age many of the best men of the country, are deductions made by Professor Irving Fisher, one of the best known political economists in the country, after an exhaustive study. "Presidents, as well as presidents and congressmen are a select group, endowed at the outset with unusual vitality. The vitality of most of them is severely taxed and materially reduced by the heavy responsibilities and bad personal hygiene incident to a public career. A minority escape the worst of these conditions and retain the major part of their natural endowment of vitality. Bad hygiene is more important than the weight of responsibility. "This conclusion is suggested by the fact that the vice presidents suffer a greater curtailment of life than the Photo by American Press Association. PROFESSOR IRVING FISHER. presidents, although vice presidents have far less responsibility, but spend much more time in Washington social life than the presidents. It is also suggested by the fact that the civil war period, with its greater weight of responsibility but more simple living, showed a lower mortality than the periods preceding and following, with less weight of responsibility but less simple living. Professor Fisher said that historically there has been a progressive decrease in those causes of death consisting of infections which kill their victims chiefly at the earlier ages, but a progressive change for the worse in those causes of death consisting of the wear and tear diseases or degenerative diseases which kill their victims chiefly at the later years. "These opposite changes", Professor Fisher says, "in the infectious and degenerative diseases would explain the improvement in mortality at the earlier ages and, on the other hand, the nonimprovement and, in the case of Yale graduates, even positive retrogression in the mortality of the older ages. Again, they would explain the marked increase in the older ages in the civil war period. For now was plain living which explained the low mortality of that period we should expect the more marked influence of that factor to appear just as it does, at the older ages at which the wear and tear mortality is chiefly registered. "The damage to vitality which we find in public life is not, therefore, put forward as an argument against entering public service, nor will a knowledge of the facts probably tend in that direction, certainly not among those who place public interests above personal interests, as every public man should. But knowledge is power, and a knowledge of the facts should enable us to protect our public men and or enable them to protect themselves and to do in the present better general conditions in the country and its capital, by better health customs and habits, by better ideals and by a more systematic application of the perfect ideals already existed." In connection with the lives of the presidents of the United States, Professor Fisher says: "The longevity of each president is reckoned from the date of inauguration—that is, from the time of his first being president. Thus Washington became president at the age of fifty, according to the American experience table, was sixteen years. He actually lived, however, only eleven years, the stead of the sixteen. John Adams, on the other hand, lived after inauguration twenty-nine years, which was two and three times his expectation of thirteen years." THE APPEAL. PRAYERS CURE AN INVALID. CONVICTS TO PLANT COTTON. Defective Page Healing of Seventy-year-old Pennsylvania Man. RecarDED as a Miracle 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, went to his home. Mr. Watson read from 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. Mr. Watson said, "Let us rise and sing 'Prise 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 Meking Out in Missouri. Like Manning Out in Missouri. Kansas City, Mo.—George Stamatowski, has not forgotten the custom 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 Stamatowski to grief in staid Kansas City. Stamatowski entered a department store the other afternoon. He winked at six pretty girls to no avail. He winked at a seventh, who promptly seized him by the arm, showed him a store detached from his escorted him to a crossing patrolman. Stamatowski 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 Greece, judge," Stamatowski said. "That's the way we meet all our nice women. I thought it was all right we got to show my appreciation of the work." "That's a poor way," Judge Clark answered. "The wink is not favored in Kansas City. You're fine $50." WITH DONKEY AND DOG WALKS 3,400 MILES WITH DONKEY AND DOG WALKS 3,400 MILES Price Wins a Wager by a Long Tramp. 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 there is nothing more apparent 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 older than Mr. Price, and another thing which does 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 both of his four footed companions and every inch of the journey. 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 provisional, 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 Huege 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 the world. More than $3,000 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, 1864. At that time the writer was a soldier in the Union army, and he tells of the chase into Mississippi after General command. Where the letter has been for the past half century is a mystery. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY: MAY 6, 1916; They Will Cultivate 1,300 Acres of a Prison Farm. McAlester, Okla.-Thirteen hundred acres of the state prison farm will be planted to cotton this year. All work except the overseeing of the labor will be done by prisoners. The land on which this cotton will be produced was a few years ago merely rocky and a waste. Hills rock covered and eroded by rains and gullies deeply sprinkled doods surrounded the concrete in the penitentiary. Hard labor and the carelmnagement have changed the surface to a rolling, well drained seed bed. Rocks were removed from the surface. Gullies were filled up after drains had been laid, Dams and riprap were emplaced to hold back the fine soil carried down by showers. In the coming year almost the entire acreage will be devoted to cotton. Of the land still rocky and unimproved hog and cattle pastures have been grown. Mudma grass is spreading, and before two years at the present rate of development enough beef and dairy supplies will be produced to feed the convicts. KEEPS MAN'S AUTO Farmer Who Hires Hand Will Pay For Car, Also For Gasoline. Danville, Ill.—A contract has been signed between Patrick Green, a farmer of Grant township, and Milt Brady in which Green agrees to pay Brady $30 a month for his services as a farm workman and to pay, in addition, for upkeep of the latter's automobile Green to provide gasoline and oil for the machine throughout the season. It has been the custom for the farmers of this vicinity to provide a horse and buggy for an employee when needed or to permit the employee to keep a horse and buggy on the farm, the farmer supplying the feed for the horse is the first instance, however, that he is to light of a farmer's paying for upkeep of an employee's automobile OLD MAN GREAT HUNTER. Whitan, at Eighty, has Killed 330 Deer and 500 Coons. Berkeley Springs, W. Va.-Peter V. B. Whisner, who is eighty years old, is the champion hunter of West Virginia. During a period covering fifty years he has killed 330 deer, about 500 coons and bades many foxes, squirrels and other game. The 300 deer fifty were bucks having horns with from three to five prongs. Of the deer were white, rare specimens, and one black. The greatest number he killed in one season was thirty-five. Practically all his hunting was done with a muzzle loading rifle. He said if he had had a rifle like those in use now he would have killed several hundred more deer. He has seen fourteen deer in one drove, one of which had white legs, the white extending up to its body. FREED CONVICTS ARE FLUSH Fifteen Men Out of Prison Had $704 Among Them. Olympia, Wash.—Instead of the usual prison gift of $5 each, fifteen inmates of the state penitentiary at Walla Walla took away with them a total of $704, earned in wages, when released recently. The leading capitalist of the crowd carried $29.70, the next $55.10; six had cash varying from $60 to $80 and the lowest $15.50, all earned at the rate of 50 cents a day and board on public roads. Another detachment County. Another detachment of the pliant man has been ordered from the prison to the honor camp, which will close on completion of work in that section of the state July 1. Twenty prisoners have been selected to be sent April 1 to the Meskill quarry, in Lewis county. DEATH IN EMPTY TIN CANS. Punch Holes In Bottoms and Save Nice Space Lives, Says U. S. Health Service. Washington.-The United States public health service announces that the tin can is a menace. An official bulletin reads: "Malaria experts of the United States health service have found that discarded tin cans containing rainwater are breeding places for the mosquito, which is the sole agent in spreading malaria. "A hole in the bottom of the empty can might have resulted in the saving of a human life. Certainly it would have assisted in preventing a debilitating infection. Tin cans have no business about the promised murray, but if we must so decorate our back yards let us see to it that the can has a hole in the bottom." AMPUTATES HIS OWN FOOT. Californian Prevents Death by Operating With a Pocketknife. Redwood City.—By amputating his left foot with a pocketknife L. H. Beck of Berkeley saved himself from being drawn to death in the machinery of a dredger on which he was operating. Not once did Beck cry out, say those who were working on the dredger. He directed the binding of the severed arteries and then ordered a launch to take him to Dumbarton bridge, where he was transferred to a handcar in charge of a section gang. Although territory weakened from loss of blood, Beck did not lose consciousness once during the long, hot trip into Redwood. He was taken to the Huling hospital, where physicians expressed amazement at his wonderful grit. HOTEL FOR GIRLS. Home Bequeathed to Workers by New York Merchant. Suggests That Hotel For Unmarried Working Women Be Erected In Business District, but Does Not Confinine Executors to Any One Region. New York—Charles Bertram Webster, a merchant who died March 10 in 2003, meted about one half of a large estate for the foundation of corporation which is directed to erect in the retail dry goods district an apartment house wherein unmarried working women shall have apartments at cost. The decedent, who lived at the Hotel Netherland, was a native of Providence, R. I., a son of Josiah L. Webster, a dry goods merchant there. He came to New York in 1900 and retired from active business, but never set his interest in it or in the people who worked for the firm. Before providing for the project which had long been in his mind, Mr. Webster bequeathed to five cousins $5,000 each, set aside $25,000 to Thomas W. Beckley, described as a "servant," and gave $10,000 to his coachman, Frank Falkner. Joseph L. Webster, his brother, all his horses, carriages, harness, clothing, jewelry and automobiles and two-thirds of his residuary estate. He then said; "Having been engaged for many years in the business known as a department store in the city of New York and having employed a large number of unmarried women in that business, I have realized that the domestic environments of many of them are not comfortable, well ventilated, comfortable and attractive apartments, and for that purpose I direct my executors to form, or cause to be formed, as soon as practicable after my death a corporation for benevolent purposes under the membership corporation law of the state of New York or under such other law of New York as may be applicable at the time. "The particular objects for which such corporation is to be formed are to generally improve the conditions of unmarried working women and particularly to establish, maintain and conduct apartments in the borough of Manhattan for occupation by unmarried working women regardless of their belief or nationality and wherein they find comfortable and attractive homes. "The name of said corporation shall be the Webster apartments, and the territory in which the corporation shall be principally conducted shall be the borough of Manhattan." The decedent suggests that the building be erected in the vicinity of the retail stores, but does not confine the executors to any particular district. He thinks the sort of building he desires can be supplied for about $400,000, but he does not commiss his agents to this sum. They can spend more if they think necessary. "The building shall contain a library and restaurant," directs the decident, "and such other appurtenances as will tend to render the apartments comfortable and attractive. Apartments are to be let furnished and unfurnished. "I direct that said apartments shall not be conducted for profit, but solly for the purpose of providing unmarried working women with homes and wholesome food at a small cost to them and in deserving cases without cost to them. I direct that the directors of said corporation shall fix the rentals and the price of food with the view of carrying out that purpose. The cost of maintaining the apartment and restaurant in excess of the receipts thereof shall be met from such income as the corporation may have exclusive of the receipts from said restaurant and rentals." The decident asks the executors to serve as officers of the corporation until the first annual meeting. FED APRICOTS TO HOGS. Fruit Market Was Glutted and In That Way Francis Used His. Pomona, Cal.-Apricot ham is the latest novelty in this community. C. C. Francis, who has a ranch near here, is the producer. Last summer his apricot crop was going to waste because the farmer, so he fed the apricots to his hogs. He butchered two shoats the other day. They each tipped the beam at 245 pounds. He got fifteen gallons of lard, seven pounds of sausage, four splendid hams, some spareribs, a quantity of side meat, eight pigs' feet and 100 pounds of soap out of the kill. The hogs were carried through the snow, and this winter they were finished on oranges and commeal slop. Mr. Francis declares that the high cost of living won't worry him for awhile at least. $100 A WEEK; CAN'T PAY WIFE Automobile Upkeep Takes Big Part of Jersey Man's Woes. Jersey City. — Gordon J. Hague of Paterson tailed Vice Chancellor Lewis that he had not been able to pay his alimony as directed because he was unable to pay the salary of $100 after paying his board and the upkeep of his automobile. VETERAN WAITED DEATH, BUT NOW L.XES LIFE After Digging Own Grave He Fails In Love and is Heaping He Will Live Longer—Notes Cause Happiness. Milwaukee, Wis.-Ont in Forest Home cemetery there is an open grave writing for Francis Marion Collins, an inmate of the Soldiers' home in this city. Five years ago, after Collins had been denied permission by the cemetery authorities to dig his own grave, he went to the city of the dead one dark, rainy night and by the light of a lantern prepared it. Collins is aged eighty-nine. He had a tombstone, inscribed, as he had directed, with everything but the date of his death, erected. He was in nearly four score and years old to die, he doesn't want to give up the ghost just yet. After making preparations for the last act of the long drama of his life he turned eagerly to life and love. In fact, he has a sweetheart now. Her first name is Annette. He won't tell the rest. She is keeping the veteran interested in life by writing him interesting love letters and visiting him at the home several times a year. Collins served four years during the war in Company I, One Hundred and Thirty-four Pennsylvania infantry, in the Army of the Potomac. WESTERN BLIND COUPLE EASILY RUN BIG FARM They Are Musicians and at One Time Traveled All Over the Country. Jet, Okla. — Despite the fact that both are totally blind, Mr. and Mrs. Harry A. Hubbard successfully operate the farming part of a half section of land they own just west of Jet, in Alfalfa county. Both are retired musicians and expect to spend the rest of their days on the farm enjoy life. They have traveled extensively all over the United States giving concerts, but three of them go settled down to the rural life near the city. Mrs. Hubbard was blind at birth, and her husband was made so previous to their marriage. Curiously enough, they use different systems of reading, and each reads a great deal, especially the books that are sent to them on the "round robin" plan from the blind schools. Mrs. Hubbard is at reading by the raised letter system, and uses a more modern way of reading and is considered by those who know it to be faster than the raised letter system. It is a series of holes cut in the paper at intervals. They are located, from one to six, both above and below a standard line, designating a character. Reading occupies a great part of their time when they are not at work doing one of the many chores about the farm. So the casual observer the farm is no different from the usual well arranged farm in the community is a noticeable fact that all of the machinery and implements used are kept in sheds and out of the way. Time was when these two people were on the road all the time. Blind musicians with the ability they are able to show are in demand in the musical circles of the country, and they found no trouble in getting all of the engagements they could fill. Playing practically every instrument made, the two of them composed an orchestra, one of their program numbers being a duet in which seven instruments were played at the same time. $500 FOR OLD KINDNESS. Sedalia (Mo.) Woman Was Good to an Orphan and He, Renew Her. Sedalia, Mo.-Mrs. J. T. Albertson, wife of a Sedalia painter, has received a check for $500 from Daniel C. Jacklin of San Francisco as a recognition of kindness extended to him years ago when as an orphan he worked on the Albertson farm near here. Jacklin was left penniless when his parents died, but he worked his way through the Warrensburg Normal school and the Rolla School of Mines. He then went west and as a mining engineer has accumulated wealth. His earnings run into the thousands yearly from mining corporation dividends from eight mining corporations which he is a stockholder. He wants Mr. and Mrs. Albertson to join him on an eastern trip. DIDN'T BELIEVE SIGN. Got $50 From Box That Bore Notice It Contained No Money. Fresco, Cal.—"This safe is not locked and does not contain any money. Please do not blow it up." This sign greeted a burglar in a store at Parlier. He opened the safe door, however, and found $50. Then he went across the street and broke into the store conducted by E. J. Mionrick. He found a strong and substantial strong box. It was locked. The burglar carried the strong box to an empty box car, pried it open and found some unsigned checks and a copper cent. Sixteenth Baby Born. Iowa City, Ia.-Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Holland, residing near Iowa City, claim the benefit of honor for Iowa. Their sixteenth child, a son, was born recently. All of the other fifteen, save one, a boy, who died in infancy, survive. WALKS 4,000 MILES TO REGAIN HIS HEALTH When Doctors Seem to Be Giving Up Hope He Handles Own Case and Resorts to Walking. Davenport, Ia.-Robert Sindt, thirty-five years old, was facing a physical breakdown last fall. The doctors did not hold out much hope for him. He is a pretty good sized man when in robust health, but his weight had dropped 135 pounds. "I'll borrow my own case and fresh air will be my first prescription," decided Sindt. So he started walking. Not to any destination in particular, but just jogging along as far as he felt like going every day. He started to走 in August. Recently he arrived at San Diego, Cal, having walked 3,834 miles in that time. His prescription of fresh air, along with the accompanying exercise, has worked wonders, and his weight has gone up fifteen pounds. It's all solid bone and muscle, too, now. Sindt has become a devotee of walking and has started out on a new trip to Washington. He pays his own way and adopts none of the minor grafts usually employed by professional pediatrists. While on his long jail Sindt made a study of the effects of various foods, and he has arrived at the conclusion that the old fashioned staple—beauty just about toops the list in the way of affording nutrient. He drinks a great deal of water every day. He sleeps in the open air most of the time. Sindt has averaged 15.73 miles every day since he started on his health pilgrimage. Frederick, Md.—"I want to go back to my home in the mountains to live. There I can be more alone than any place I know. I want to take my children up there and be alone with them in the woods." This is the expressed desire of Mrs. Elizabeth English, who recently in this same mountain shot and killed her husband to protect herself and their children from his anger. "There are a lot of chickens up there, and the property is big," she said as if to convince herself that her plan was practicable. "I believe that I could get along very nicely though I do not expect to be happy again. I have never had a ray of sunshine since I married, and I surely do not hope for any now. Mrs. English has been completely exonerated from blame is shown in the attitude of Thomas Dunn English, the only son of the deceased by a former wife. Mr. English has offered to take his stepmother back to his own Brooklyn. "Dunn has been awfully nice to me," said Mrs. English. "He begged me to go to New York to live with him. But I don't want to go. I appreciate his offer, but I don't want to be under obligations to anybody. "If it had been only myself I would have shot Arthur. When he wanted to be as nice as anybody could be at the time there were so many times that his temples in an instant, and I was afraid of me I knew at these moments he was perfectly capable of killing my children." HEROISM WINS BRIDE. Weds Miss After Giving Skin For Grafting Upon Little Girl. Denver.—A romance, like those you read about in novels, culminated recently when Miss Lellah Alma Peck, a nurse at the County hospital, formerly of Madison, Ind., was married to Vince Brunner, Jr., of Mishawaka, India. Brunner read in an Indiana paper that she old Mary Lena Lewis, who was badly burned in a Colorado forest fire, needed healthy skin grafted on to her seared body. The appeal touched his heart, and he, being a healthy young man, came to Denver and gave a portion of his skin that the child might recover. During the skin grafting operation he met Miss Peck, and the romance be TOWN GREETS COUPLE Cornet Band Serenades Bridegroom Eighty, and Bride, Thirty-nine. Pongheepsie, N. Y. All Staatsburg turned out and, headed by the village cornet band, serenaded Timothy Herrick, eighty, who returned from a visit to Syracuse, bringing with him his bride, formerly Miss Martha Wallace, thirty-nine, a schoolteacher of that city. Herrick, who for fifty years has been superintendent on the William B. Dinsmore estate, recently returned his cottage. Nothing was thought of this, however, until his arrival with the bride. Herrick has six children, all married. His first wife died four years ago. Woman Pays For Stolen Rides. Newcastle, Pa.—Conidence troubled an elderly woman who recently paid the local cashier of the railway company 15 cents for three rides she said she beat conductors out of eight years ago.

Many a Sensation is Production When Bird Men Meet In Air—Participants Could Give Story With Imperializable Vividness—Often Near Death. London—Europe's war has produced conditions that make aeroplaning the grimmest adventure known to man. War is man's oldest game. Aviation is his latest. Each day intrepid air men, under twenty-five years of age for the most part, like hawks make course above roof, tent, rampart and battlefield to thrust suddenly below premeditated thunderbolts of death. They fight duels in the air with other indomitable young men in enemy airplanes. When something goes wrong a mile or more above earth on a mild June evening in time of peace a queer sensation is produced. The percussive crack heard by thousands of air men above the European battle lines these days and nights in all kinds of weather produces a scream of queer. A lieutenant just out of his wing, broken, clinging to his duty, his ears deafened, little knowing whether it is the whistling storm he hears or the whir of shot—thousands of sn Photos by American Press Association. BOLKE AND PEGGUD men can testify that an experience of the sort is a thing of imperishable vividness. Cowdin and Thaw, among numerous Americans who have joined the fighting air men, can tell many such tales. Boehl, Immelmann, Guynemer, Bone, among the newcomers, and Vedrines, Bone and the few of the veterans, are making inefaceable records. These men use the aeroplane, or avlon, as they call it, not merely as a scouting vehicle, but as a deadly instrument of offense. Leutentant Boehl of the German army recently brought down his thirteenth machine over the Forges forest. Leutentant Baron von Althaus brought down his fourth aeroplane over enemy lines west of Lihona. The element of sport enters even into aeroplane warfare. After all, thinks the aviator, the man much in being caught as being caught by a more amateur with a paltry record of two or three captures to his name. Leutentant Immelmann recently bagged his tenth enemy aeroplane. The gallantry and bravery of Leutentant Warneford illustrates the spirit of these European aviators. Single handed he attacked a Zeppelin and destroyed it. A few days later, accompanied by the American writer Needham, he made a pleasure trip, and both men were killed in landing. The ultimate terms with death were those five years after who fought the greatest aerial battle of the war, recently when the allied aeroplanes raided Muhhausen, Upper Alsace. Five German aeroplanes and three French fell, the occupants of all being killed. On the outbreak of the war Adolphe Pegoud, the famous French aviator who gained renown in 1913 when he originated the feat of flying upside down in an aeroplane and looping the loop, joined the French squadron and was often mentioned for valor. He was killed in the country when he came to this country, and was looped the loop. His daring feats will go down in aeronautic history. Wild Beasts Kill Deer Eugene, Ore.—The snowfall has resulted in a great slaughter of deer by predatory animals, in the opinion of C. J. Hills of Oakridge. He tells of finding several carcasses, one indicating that the deer had been killed by a wildcat. At this point the snow was twenty feet deep, and the deer had been killed. A space ten feet square. It had eaten a bunch of maple bushes for food. As it could not get out of its snow prison it became prey. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

Information from all parts of the country is to the effect that Rev. A. J. Carey, A. M., D. D., Ph. D., minister and warden of the Institutional Church, Chicago, will be one of the strongest candidates to come before the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, which meets in Philadelphia in May. That his election is practically assured is the consensus of opinion among the well informed delegates leading preachers and prominent laymen. Dr. Carey has the indorsement of practically every person of prominence in Illinois. The A. M. E. ministers are for him to a man and have issued a circular letter in his behalf; the leading members of the bar, headed by Edward H. Morris, the foremost lawyer of the country have issued a printed endorsement; the leading physicians and surgeons, headed by Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the most famous physician and surgeon, have united in an endorsement, and men of every profession and calling, not only in Illinois but in every state in the union, have endorsed the militant pastor and, what is better, we have it on good authority that Dr. Carey's friends have secured pledges from enough delegates to make his election sure. Viewed from any angle Rev. Dr. --- AUGUSTINE REV. A. J. CAREY, A. M., D. D., Ph. D. Eloquent Pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. Church, Chicago. Widely Indorsed for the Bishopric and Will Be Elected by the General Conference at Philadelphia in May. Carey is a great man, a man of education and culture, an eloquent pulpit orator and a valiant race defender. The great A. M. E. Church needs men of the type of Dr. Carey and the church of Richard Allen will honor itself as well as the race if he is elected to the Board of Bishops. 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 school "KEEP OFF THE GRASS." A general order has been issued by the state board of administration to the superintendents of all state institutions to remove immediately all signs such as "Keep off the grass" or "Keep out," "No admittance" and those designating certain days as visiting days. "These signs serve no good purpose and are very irritating," said Fred Kern of Belleville, president of the board. "The institutions are for the people, and if they want to walk on the grass there is no good reason why they should not. Hereafter every day is to be visiting day in the state charitable institutions, so that is another sign to be abandoned. "If institution rules are violated by visitors attendants can tell them in a nice way. What we are trying to do is to suppress the atmosphere of gloom which generally clouds the happiness of the inmates of charitable institutions." The action of the state board is a very sensible thing and shows that democracy is making some progress after all. "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." In a strong report to the Religious Education association, Dr. George A. 17 APPEAL'S EDITORIALS HAVE "POISE, LOGIC AND COURAGE." Hon. Richard T. Greener, Late U. S. Consul at Vladivostk, Eminent Scholar, Literateur, Writer and Diplomat and Person of the Great Charles Sumner, Lauds THE APPEAL. As one who knew Sumner and tried to practice his theories I wish to express my hearty approval of your utterances in THE APPEAL and I can urge them as competent opinions. I congratulate you on the poise, logic and courage of your editors. A. M. E. Church, Chicago. Widely In- Will Be Elected by the General Philadelphia in May. 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. 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 the ters 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 barbaries 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. "POISE, LOGIC AND COURAGE."

Sierra Vista, Cal.-A thief with a conscience recently entered the home of Clark Rubidio 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 Rubidio 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 Rubidio home, fumble with the lock a moment and walk in. Mrs. Martin thought the stranger was probably a friend of the Rubidos, and when the young man reappeared some time after, still carrying the suit case, she told him that the Rubidio 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 faced young man had carried away all their silver, several articles of jewelry and $30. 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 from 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. The two had not seen each other for thirteen years. They were reared to 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. SOUTH SEA ISLAND COLONY IN AMERICA 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 Sierras 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 Ioseppa. 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 actual cost. 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 Exchanging Pupils. White Plains, N. Y.—"We had the time of our lives," said the Rev. William Dana Street, pastor of the Ridgeview Avenue Congregational church and one of the six ministers here who filled pulpits that were assigned to them by drawing lots. Sealed names of the churches were put in a hat, and each minister drew one. "None of us knew which church he had drawn," said Mr. Street, "until a couple of days after when we opened the envelopes." The Rev. Chaillus E. Nichols, pastor of the First Baptist church, exchanged with the Rev. Ernest L. Walz, pastor of the Chatterton Hill Congregational church; the Rev. Herbert E. Wright, pastor of the Memorial M. E. church, the largest Protestant church here, exchanged with the Rev. David W. DeForest of St. Paul's M. E. Protestant church, one of the smallest churches. Mr. A. Hugo Williams, a brother of Dr. H. I. Williams, has gone into the plumbing business. If you need a plumber call him. See his ad. elsewhere.

WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO" Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Complication Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate 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 unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its increase only because our speakers and teachers, especially Do Bois and Washington, feel repetition, adnausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In the past and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Nergofy," 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 you wife and daughter and sweet heart, if you favor the use of the mass culine 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 millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN M. 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 people we should say that the second people the colored people better than the first, they know asapplications among them that their others do not know, or, knowing, enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obliquef 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 might to credit to those on whom they charge because of the colored race the values that come 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. I do not propose to be cooped up or shut in in my love and criticism to mere geographical streaks or spots of people on a planet. This planet is small enough when one considers the height and width of starry height and depth of the human waver and glows through us all.

Mollère! 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 become almost trite. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and impossibility of morality. It is an utter impossibility of races to subscribe to a common government, at the same time, each race works in its own salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted into a ghastly failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have heeded too long the advice from false and treacherous leadership that resistance is wrong; that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism that the thing for us to do is to resist and other rights will inevitably fail. We have followed this "advice" faithfully and been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, inter-marriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women defenseless and at the mercy of white brutes — separate schools, jim Crow curtains and even legislating to exclude curtains and immigration. These are the evils that bring them "non-resistance" and "terrible" by selfless." 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 offers legislation degrading and criminal to our well being. Behind it, therefore, can only be worn down by attribution, can we must send our children, and go our places to mixed institutions and other places to we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXAPOSITION. Campaign Against Lynching There is no better time than NOW to begin a National Crusade Against Lynching in the United States. For the rapidity with which this national crime has spread, the barbarity with which it is committed and the utter disgraceful complacency with which it is regarded, should arouse the conscience of the country in one united protest against its further spread and Have Learned to "Love, Honor and Obey." (From the Afro-American Ledger.) "If I can live happily among the colored people, if I can love them as I love the people of my own race, then I will know that our dream of brotherhood for all races may come true," says Miss Florence MacFarlane, delegate from London, England, to the New Thought Congress, which is in San Francisco recently. Miss MacFarlane announces her intention going out to live among colored people. The experience of the Englishwoman may prove interesting but it offers little that is new. Thousands of her race and sex have not only learned to love their colored brothers, but "to love, honor and obey them." (From the Ploneer-Press, Martinsburgh, W. Va.) Editor W. P. Dabney, of the Cincinnati Union, is busy day and night these days fighting segregation and all other forms of discrimination in the Queen City. This is noble in him, and especially so when it is known that Dabney is in an official position. Men of that sort are generally as mum as a clam, but this is not so in the case of Mr. Dabney.
