THE PURPOSE of the proposed standard can be more clearly stated. THE EFFECT of the amendment, it adopted, would be to confer power on the legislature to provide by law for the mining of iron ore and other mineral resources, the reign capacity and attune under the bed of any meandered public lake or river, subject to the restriction that the rights of righians on any water body be restored or injured without compensation. If the legislature exercises the power, in case it is conferred, it could also provide for the drainage or dilution of the waters of the lake or river with reference to legal legales; it could also prescribe by whom such minerals could be mined and the compensation to be paid to the mine of any such lake. The proceeds of the mine of any such lake constitute a fund to be loaned and invested the same as the permanent school and university funds, the income of such fund to be used in the construction and maintenance of public roads. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 4 By Chapter 332. Laws 1915, the legislature proposed an amendment to Section Two (2) of Article Six of the Constitution.

Private property shall not be taken, destroyed or damaged for public use, without just compensation therefor first paid or secu- ration, paid or secured, and such private payment as well as public drainage vate as well as public drainage upon being therefor therefor being first paid or secured. THE PURPOSE of the proposed amendment is to permit the taking of private lands for the purpose of drainage purposes where the drain or ditch will be of no public benefit, but on the ground that only benefit the land or lands of the property constructing the drainage ditch. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 7. If the amendment is adopted, the section will then read as follows: Sec. 1. TWO HOUSES-SESSION. The legislature shall consist of two members, each representing, which shall meet the government of the state, at such time shall be prescribed by law, but no minister (90) legislative days, and ninety (90) legislative days, and branch, except on the written request of the governor, during the except the attention of the legislature important matter of general interest by a special message from the commissioner of the state, the secretary state a petition proposing an amendment, by the constitution, to the commissioner of the state, the secretary state a petition proposing an amendment, by the constitution, to the commissioner of the state, the secretary state a petition proposing an amendment, by the constitution, to the legislature not later than ten (10) days after the commencement so proposed be not sub- amended, and so proposed be not sub- amended at such session, or if it be submitted in an amended form, or in petition, each signed by eight percent of the electors of the state, within six months after the ad- dication of the amendment proposed in the first petition, or one or more amended to the electors for their approval special state-wide election occurring not less than minima days from the petition. Any amendment in its original or in an amended (c) THE REFERENDUM Any law providing for a tax law on appropriating money for the current or future armament or state institutions, any armament or state institution, submitting a constitution or signature, submitting other question to the electors of the state, or necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, effect immediately upon its passage, effect immediately upon such laws, except emergency laws, shall not be subject to a referendum into effect ninety days after the adjournment of the legislature.

The style of all legislative measures and amendments to the constitution initiated by the people unanimously will be the one it enacted by the People of the State of Minnesota." The provisions of this section must be appropriate legislation, but until such time as it be enacted, this section shall be self-enacted. THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of this amendment, if adopted, will be three-fold. (a) It will permit the voters to propose amendments to the state constitution, without action by the legislature. Under such conditions as it now stands constitutional amendments can be proposed only by the legislature. (b) So, too, if adopted, the amendments will permit the proposed laws for enactment and if not approved by the legislatures, the voters may by sufficient petition, require the question of the enactment of the proposed law to be submitted to the voters. If approved by the legislature, there provided the vote in favor of the proposed law is not less than thirty-three per cent of the total number of votes cast at such election, the same force and effect as though passed the legislature. The governor will have no power to veto a law so passed, but the people cannot so pass any law that is prohibited by the constitution. (c) So, too, if adopted, the amendment will permit the voters by proper petition to require a vote on the question of whether a law or question thereof, of certain election amendments passed by the legislature shall be repealed. If the petition asking for the referendum is signed by fifteen percent of the voters, the number of whom is to be determined by the number of votes cast for Governor at the preceding election, the law所 referred to the voters will not take effect. If the question referred to the theorem. The vote required to repeat a law passed by the legislature and the classes of laws which cannot be so specified in Subdivision "C" of the proposed amendment are above printed. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. & By Chapter 388, Laws 1915, the lexi- tis elects an amendment of Section 1915 to the Constitution. The section now reads as follows: Ninth Annual Meeting of the Equal Rights League. The Congress merged into the 5th annual meeting of the NationalEqual Rights League on Friday with Rev. Byron Gunner in the chair. The morning session was opened with prayer and meditation. One hundred and eighty delegates were enrolled from 26 states. In the afternoon the various committees brought in strong reports which were adopted. Reduction of representation in Congress, a law by Congress making lynching a federal crime, a committee to wait upon Congress, drastic opposition to all sorts of race segregation in institutions as well as public carriage, a committee to organize all organization of the race by colored leaders were among the measures favored. Condemn Wilson. Favor Hughes. A strong address to the country was adopted scoring Wilson for his race segregation and favoring Hughes as the means by which to put Wilson out. The address contained the following: Owing to the alarming spread of the means, we declare an opposition to the policy of new separation in public and semi-public institutions, in places open to the public as undemocratic and un-American, a denial of equality of rights and destined to make the colored people social and civic outcasts. These officers were elected: President, Bryon Gunner, D. D. New York; vice president, Rev. Reverdy, Ransom, N. J., Wm. D. Brigham, Mass. Harvey Johnson, D. D., Md. Rev. Marion F. Stephan, D. D.

IN ADDRESS TO COUNTRY The National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress which met in Washington, D. C., closed a two days' session with the adoption of an address to the country. Lynching, Jimcrowism, segregation and race proscription were denounced by the two hundred delegates from all sections of the country. The congress urged extensive organization of the colored people to resist discriminations based on color. It approved the work of the National Equal Rights League along this line. Addresses to the Country. The states of the Union where the slavery existed, in time followed the great proclamation by the enactment of statutes annulling it within their several borders; and the national government by the enactment of the 13th Amendment to the Federal Constitution finally put the power into Federal agencies to prevent its recurrence on American soil. For many years after the close of the Civil War peonage was practiced in the south, which has never become thoroughly reconciled to the laws prescribing equality of citizenship. Works of the South: This fact is seen in the widespread efforts to defeat the great purposes of war. Amendment, by the enactment of law, making the disfranchise of the war a practical reality; by provisions for the separation of Colored passengers from other racial elements on common carrier proscriptive legislation for residential lynching of thousands of Colored men and even women charged with offenses never proven in the courts of justice, become almost a national disease. The disorders are the aftermath of slavery; we appeal to all fair minded men and women, to the enlightened moral forces of country, to unite in a nation-wide effort, to correct these abuses to the end of the disease may prevail in all sections of our Nation. Capacity of Colored Americans The great progress of the Colored race since the day of their liberation from bondage has been made in the face of independent difficulties in the face of hardship, prejudice, proscription and injustice, and has made more remarkable because of the powerful influence exerted by these evil Therace has greatly multiplied in numbers, and in usefulness. It has reduced the cost to a very low percentage. It has multiplied its wealth in lands. In religious, educational and industrial movements, it became an important factor in the national economy ever increasing efficiency. Wherever a door of opportunity has been opened, Colored Americans have demonstrated their ability to meet the exacting requirements of our civilization. The people have made valuable contributions to Science, Invention, Art, and Literature, and their achievements in our national society have maintained at a high level the best military traditions of this nation. We desire to express to the friends of the nation and justice for all men throughout the broad land, our grateful appreciation for every service of any character which they have rendered in the past. We seek nothing but justice, and that equality of rights and that equal treatment of which are denied to none of the other races in this country, because of races. Against Reactionary Movement We denounce the segregation of Colored employees in the civil service of the Federal government as un-American, unjust, a wicked, shametal and disgraceful abuse of power. We denounce the spirit of those social representatives of the people in the Federal government constantly seeking to decizeitize Colored race by the introduction of reactionary legislation which belongs to a past age, and which the great body of the American people have outgrown. Racial Organization, Opposing Segregation. We call upon the leaders of our race in every section of our country to unseasily guide the people through the difficulties by which they are beaten nationally to resist and combat denial of civil and political rights and especially the policy of separation from fellow Americans of every race in the public life, opposing segregation, the perpetrator of race prejudice. We admit that the wisdom let their counsel be heard. They do have wealth, let them assist materially where the need is great. Those who have courage, let them stand and content for justice.

THE CITIZENSHIP CONGRESS. ‘That was a band of American patriots which met in Washington and after due deliberation formulated a stirring address to the country, listing their wrongs, offering evidences of their progress, recounting their deeds of loyalty in defense of the Nation, and pledging themselves before the Eternal God to combat with all the power within them, the denial of civil and political rights. Tt was the greatest event in recent years, in that the men and women who met had a correct conception of what it means or should mean to be Ameri can eltizens. In this world, groups as well as individuals are taken at their own valuation of themselves. ‘These people did not feel that they were “negroes” in the average American conception of the word or African savages or aliens. They knew that they were all American born and as Americans entitled to all the rights ‘and immunities of American citizen: ship. ‘There is no truckling or cringing in their statement to the people of the Republic. It is a clean cut demand for justice and equality of rights, nothing more, nothing less. The greatest emphasis was laid on resist- ance against the policy of separation from fellow Americans of other groups im public or semtpublic places, whether for education or recreation or on common carriers, or residential segregation. : ‘That is the crux of the whole mat- ter. Unless there is absolute and identical equality of treatment in all things and unrestricted admission of colored people to every public or semi- public place open to other Americans, they are subject to a slavery more galling to intelligent beings than mere bodily bondage and democracy itself ak a dl le hehe ea * ‘veo 2 a J She NINE y Fog Wi fy) x rr Myf Css | ae ee oa # G 2s. \ i : =e - A 7 (s)) i ed Aa — % We) o\ “4 Wee O . ee pe T e Republican Standard Bearers FOR PRESIDENT . FOR VICE PRESIDENT Charles Evans Hughes Charles W. Fairbanks an OF NEW YORK OF INDIANA | Character Sketch of the President by Charles Evans Hughes | All theories of the efficacy of education are set at naught in the charac- ter of Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States and candidate for re-election, Mr. Wilson is undoubtedly a man of classic culture. The greater part of his life has been spent either as a student or a professor at Prince- ton University. For many years prior to his academic essay at polities he Was President of that famous institution, We believe that his biographers recount something about his being a sort of lay preacher in a great church. He is the author of a more or less pretentious history. of the country and as a writer upon sociological and scientific subjects’ and economics his letters dear the stamp of authority. ‘When he was a candidate for the Presidency of the United States he published promises to the colored citizens that were fairer perhaps than any candidate for that high office had ever offered them. He declared that he Would protect them in every right guaranteed them by the Constitution. Many of the colored. people, led by some of the brightest thinkers in the race, accepted his pronunciamento for its face value. He was a man of education and it-was presupposed that he was removed from the petty pre- Jjudices-of the dull and the ignorant. They had reason to believe that his pre-election word would yield 100 per cent in redemption after his election. Candidate Wilson's word is still out and has gone to protest in President ‘Wilson's clearing house. Contrary to his promise to deal out to the colored man a fair hand of equal justice, he has succeeded in three years in destroy- ing what it has taken the Republican Party fifty years to construct in the way of civil rights for colored citizens. ‘When he entered the White House he closed the door in the face of the ‘colored people and bent his ear to the venom of Vardaman. ___He swept the platter clean of the colored man’s connection with public service or responsibility, thus flying in the face of the record of his own party when President Cleveland consistently adhered to the custom of ren- dering unto Caesar the things that were Caesar's—positions that the Repub licang had aceredited and delivered to the colored race for thirty years. $100,000,000 AND THEN SOME. ‘The colored people have long been classed as a poor people, but when a colored man begins to figure in hun dred millions, it is time to sit up and take notice. Elbert R. Robinson has filed suit in Federal District Court at Chicago, for $100,000,000 against the Ford Motor Company. Robinson has previously brought suit against the City Railway Company and the Chicago Surface Lines for alleged infringement of patents. ‘The suit filed against Ford sets forth that he originated and patented a core, used in the construtcion of car wheels, and that the automobile con. cern has infringed his patents. The declaration asks for all profits and gains since the alleged infringement and damages of $10,000,000, MOCKING GOD. ‘With the stage all set for. Jim-crow ism and a disavowal of the principles of the brotherhood of men, the forty- sixth general convention of the Epis- copal church opened in St. Louis with a corporate communion in Christ Church Cathedral. Seven hundred men received the sacrament, many taking.the cup unworthily. The first act of the house of bishops was the election of Bishop Thomas F. Gailor of Tennessee as chairman. THE APPHAL has a “little lst” of infamous expressions by famous men and we quote an utterance of Bishop Gailor, made some time ago, which speaks for itself: “The granting of the right of suf frage to the negroes was a crime and blunder. Take away the suffrage from the negro as it is disallowed to other of our ‘colored’ citizens.” ‘Within a week or tén“ays, the cur tain will ring up on the second scene, when, if present plans carry, the chureh will insult the God who “ot one blood made all nations,” by drawing the color line and authorizing the elec- tion of Jimcrow suffragan bishops for the colored people, and when the un- holy act has been consummated, the ministers and men will assume an unc- tuous mien and say: “It was done at the request of your people!” But the Jim-erow colored men who have been working to segregate them- selves do not represent the masses, but are men who are willing to,sell their Yery souls for a paltry recompense. The venomous whites and the col- ored curs who have entered into this ‘conspiracy should remember that God is not mocked. PROTEST JIM-CROW BISHOP. All Saints Church, the- leading colored Episcopal chureh in Saint Louis has made a strong protest against the proposed plan to disgrace the Episcopal Chureh by the adoption of a segregated episcopate. ‘The members of the church held a largely attended meeting to consider the question and after stirring aa dresses by James L. Usher, David B. Gordon, prinetpals of public schools, and Albert Burgess, Esq., the noted lawyer, a strong protest submitted by the vestry was unanimously adopted and a committee appointed to memor- {alize the convention of the Episcopal Church now in session in St. Louis to this effect. : ‘THE APPEAL is glad to notice that the most intelligent, clear-headed and worthy colored people oppose the in- famous plan. The only people who favor it are prejudiced whites and Jimerow colored people devold of foresight or who exfect to proftt| financially by the scheme. | HUGHES FOR EXACT JUSTICE, | Many colored people have been in doubt about Mr. Hughes’ stand on the question of thelr rights as eft zens: | The Republican candidate for presi dent settled the matter by his dec. aration in his address before the students of Fisk University and other jeolored citizens at Nashville, Tenn, ‘when he said: | “Tsay to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the main- tenance of the rights of all citizens regardless of race or color. The one ‘word that I love above all others ts the word ‘justice’ We want in this country what is right and fair. “Tam sure you do, not wish: particular things done because of color.” You ‘want what is right and fair. I desire to see sich fair and decent and just treatment as will make’ you proud of your- manhood and womanhood.” TANK CARS ON “ELLEN N.” Great lovers of booze, even if a lot of prohibition legislation has beer enacted, for the Southern people arc usually a lot of hypocrites, one rail road, the L. & N., has found it neces sary to provide special coaches ix which none but intoxicated person: may ride, for Sunday trains. Since no liquor may be obtained at Points in Mississippi and many places in Alabama, Alabamians and Mississip plans took adyantage of the Sunday trains to “get tanked up.” ‘These passengers made it unpleas. ant for others, hence the special coach for intoxicated Caucasians. “No effort has been made to provide for the col. ored boozers as “all niggers look alike” to Southerners and they are al lowed to stay in the filthy jimcrow car greatly to the discomfort of de cent colored people wh are forced to ride in them. "CLEANING UP THE SOUTH.” The federal department of agricul ture is very busy these days and an ‘ounces with a great flourish of trum pets, that by the first of the year, con siderably more than half the terri tory in the South which was infestec by the cattle tick will be free from the pest, and also states that in five years more the entire South will be “cleaned up.” That is good work, but one of the governmental departments ought tc start out and do a little moral clean ing. For instance: if the brutal lynchers, the legislatures who enact infamous prejudiceinspired laws, the officials who enforce them, and the cowardly colored “leaders” who con done these crimes and kiss the hand which smites them, were all taker out at sunrise to face the firing squad that would be a “clean-up” which would place the ancient South in touch with modern civilization. WANT COTTON PROTECTED. In a memorial to Congress, issued at Fort Worth, Texas, and entitled “The American Farmer and His Govern thent,” H. N. Pope, president of ‘the Association of State Farmers’ Unior Presidents, asks that cotton be pro- tected by a twelve-cent minimum loan from the government. The people i the murder belt are always very solicitous about the pro- tection of the material interests, but When it comes to the protection of human life that is another story. The Texas Farmers’ Unions ought to do something toward wiping out lynch: ing and racial injustice in their home districts before making an appeal for aid of any kind from the national gov- ernment. | — WORDS. WORDS, WORDS. President Wilson, speaking before the citizenship convention, urged a “equare deal” for the immigrant and demanded that America be kept the finest example of the objecta and ideals that go to promote the standards of the world, “We ought to be careful to maintain 8 government at which the immigrant can look with the closest scrutiny and ‘to which he should be at liberty to address this question: ‘You declare this to be a land of liberty and of equality and of justice; have you made it 80 by your law?” “I believe America should exalt above everything else the sover- -_eignty of-thoughtfulness and sympathy and vision, as against the grogser im pulses of mankind. No nation can liv without vision, and no vision will exal 8 nation except the vision of real lib erty and real justice and purity o conduct.” Natural born Americans were warned by the president to examin themselves carefully to see whether they have burning in them the tru light of America which they expec to show to these foreigners. Ita “square deal” for the immigrant ‘why not a square deal for 10,000,000 AMERICAN BORN citizens who are hounded and humiliated, discriminated against and often mob-murdered be cause more or less African blood flows in thelr veins? ‘The president is the leader of the Demoeratic party which has displayed the greatest zeal in enacting disorim- inating legislation and the president himself has sanctioned the most in. famous racial discriminations which were wholly outside the law. ‘The president's rhetoric is perfect, but those who have suffered from the enactments of the Democratic party and thé president's approval of un- just and unlawful and UNAMERICAN Practices, naturally doubt his sin- cerity. His beautiful words are but bunk. % Recently Senator Vardaman of Mis. sissipp! made a speech in Washington lauding Jeff Davis, the. Confederacy, ete, “The strength of America is sus tained by the morality and intellectu. ality of its men and women,” said he But Vardaman’s state contributes very little of either. That was a strong point of Candi. date Hughes when he sald to a col ‘ored audience, “I am sure you do nét wish particular things done because of color.” Intelligent colored people will be satisfied with exact justice; they do not wish especial favors be: i of color. Within a week after Wilson became president, his attorney. general called for the resignation of William H. Lewis, assistant attorney general of the United States, who had been ap Pointed to that near-Cabinet position, the highest ever given to a colored man, by a Republican president. . It is universally conceded that al ‘buman actions are tinctured with self. ish motives; and it self preservation is the first law of nature, the sane colored voter will in this campaign vote the Republican. ticket. “The Republican party has done ‘more for humanity, for human liberty and more for human progress than any party since the stars:-frst sang to gether.”—Charles Warren Fairbanks. ——— About half a million young colored men will be eligible to cast their first [presidential votes November 7, and if they are wise they'll vote the Republi can ticket this time. Colored men in close congressional districts should work hard to elect Congressmen. We can not afford to lose a single district. ‘The Republican ‘party recognizes jability and rewards it accordingly. |All colored men took alike to Demo- crats. = ty se _# 3 a a £ b / DARIUS F.

Two years ago the voters of Ramsey County were asked to consider the qualifications of a new man for congressional honors. The response of colored voters, almost to a man was "he'll not trade old friends for new". At close of the act the curtain was rung down on the old friend. Thanks to subsequent events we not left friendless, for in the next act the curtain rings up on another destined to be as unfaltering as the other. We refer to Congressman Carl C. Van Dyke. However much we the abhorr the person who arrays his talents against us, it must be borne in mind that it requires courage, founded on deep-seated righteousness, to stand up in Congress in defense of "colored people. Without prompting, that colder character of courage has been exhuted by our real friend, Congressman Carl C. Van Dyke. Here are some brilliant spots in an unattnished record: A bill was introduced in Congress providing that white juvenile court officers of Washington, D. C., might arrest any offender of the law, but that colored officers should arrest none but colored offenders of the same laws. Congressman Van Dyke registered objectively the unfairness of the measure. It was defeated. Efforts were made to reduce the appropriations for Harvard University and the public schools of Washington. Again Congressman Van Dyke stepped into the arena, attacking the injustice of the propositions. If we have proper appreciation for the value of a real friend in a high place, we will vote for and work for Congressman Carl C. Van Dyke. We will use their efforts to get votes for a tried friend, the kind we need.
