The principal invested in the same manner, by the same means as in or upon the same assets as in or upon the same time hereafter may be authorized for the loaning or investing in the same permanent and university property in the state." THE PURPOSE of the proposed mandated concrete clearly states that as opposed to three THE EFFECT of the amendment, it adopted, would be to confer power on the legislature to provide by law for the rights of iron ore and other minerals, which are the main ore capacity and situate under the bed of any meandered public lake or river, subject to the restriction that the rights of rightman owners on any such mine be protected or injured without compensation. If the legislature exercises the power, in case it is conferred, it could also provide for the drainage or diversion driver with reference to which it legislates; it could also prescribe by whom such minerals could be mined and the compensation to be paid to the driver; it could prescribe the proceeds of the sale of any such mine; it could institute a fund to be loaned and invested the same as the permanent school and university funds, the income of which could be used in the construction, improvement and maintenance of public roads.

If the proposed amendment is adopted the section will then read an follow-up. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 8. By Chapter 383, Laws 1915, the legislature proposed for adoption by theators, an amendment of Section Eleven of the Article Four (4) of the Constitution. Said section now reads as follows: It is proposed to mount that section Section 11. Bassin, hill, white. Defective Page PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Under the Constitution as it now is, the governor may veto any item in an apportionment, but can down the amount appropriated for any civic purpose. The amendment, if adopted, will give the governor power to reduce the amount of an apportionment to the amount upon transmittal to the legislature in statement of the part of an item of an apportionment bill to which he objects, houses, each by a two-thirds vote, approve the item as it was originally passed. PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 6. By Chapter 384, Laws 1915, the legislature proposed an amendment of Sec. 104 of Article One (1) of the Constitution. The section as it now stands reads as follows: "Section 13. PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC USE — Private property shall not be taken, destroyed or damaged in public use, without just compensation therefor first paid or secured." If the amendment is adopted the section will read as follows: "Section 13. Private property shall be taken, destroyed or damaged for just compensation therefor first compensation therefor secured, and such private property secured, and such private property for the purpose of private or damaged upon just compensation drainage upon just compensation therefor being first paid or secured."

PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 7. By Chapter 385, Law 1915, the legislature proposed for adoption by the legislature the Constitution (17 of Article Four (4), of the Constitution. Section One as it now stands, reads as follows: **Section 1.** TWO HOUSES — SSS-BSII The legislature shall elect the senate and house of representation, which shall meet biannually at the senate and house of representation, at such time as shall be prescribed by the term of ninety legislative days, and new bill shall be introduced in either of the governor, during the last twentieth day, except the attention of the legislature, called to some important matter of interest, to a special message from the governor. If the amendment is adopted, the section will then read on a follower. The percentage in any case shall be based upon the total number of petitions preceding election. All petitions preceding election shall contain the signature of not less than one-half of the designated number less than one-fourth of the count less than one-fourth of the county law or constitutional amendment, electors who have signed the first petition and added to sign the second petition. The sufficiency of all petitions shall be decided by the secretary of the court. If the secretary of state decides that any petition is insufficient time for making corrections or for filing additional signatures, in court to prevent giving effect to the sufficiency, or any other ground, the burden of proof shall be upon the petitioner. No law or amendment to the constitution of any petition prevents the electors as herein provided, shall be held unconstitutional or not sufficient of any initiative petition; nor shall any petition be referredendum petition be held invalid for such insufficiency. All initiative laws and constitutional amendments shall be so amended as to permit an affirmative or negative vote upon each measure submitted by the electors or conflicting proposed amendment proved at the same election, the one because the highest number of cases is to connect provisions. The style of all legislative measures and amendments to the constitution is to people. Under this section shall be it enacted by the People of the State. The provisions of this section may be enforced by appropriate legislation, but until such legislation is enacted by the People of the State this section shall be self executing. THE PURPOSE AND EFFECT of this amendment, if adopted, will be three-fold. (a) It will permit the voters to propose amendments to state constitution, for adoption, without the legislature. Under the constitution as it now stands constitutional amendments can be proposed only by the legislature. (b) so, too, if adopted, the amendment will permit electors to propose laws for enactment and if not enacted by the legislature, the voters may by sufficient petition, require the question the enactment of the proposed law to be enacted by the legislature, proved by a majority of the electors voting, provided the vote in favor of the proposed law is not less than thirty-three per cent of the total electorate, the same becomes a law, the force and effect as though passed by the legislature. The governor will have no power to veto a law no passed, the people cannot so pass any law which is prohibited by the constitution. (e) So 'too' if adopted, the amendment will permit the voters by proper petition to require a vote on the question of any law or purport thereof, of certain claims passed by the legislature shall be repealed. If the petition asking for the affirmation is signed by fifteen percent of the voters, the number of whom in to be determined by the number of votes cast for Governor at the preceding election, the law as set forth by the voters will not ink effect pending the election thereon. 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. 8. By Chapter 886, Laws 1915, the legal electors an amendment of Section 1915, the amendment of Section 1915. The section now reads as follows: DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE. Toward Colored Race Shown by Extracts From Democratic Papers. "We have abiding faith in the recognition by our Northern brethren of the fact that Anglo-Saxon race is entitled to run that race in Charleston News and Courter. (Dem.) "Every negro must understand here, now, right off, once and forever, that the Southern people will never, even for an instant, agree that the black race is the equal of the white."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The States said years ago, the first and most important step towards a solution of the negro problem should be the withdrawal of the right offrage to the negroes by abrogating the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution."—New Orleans States. (Dem.) "The white people of the Southern states where the negroes constitute a majority of the population are determined to nullify the right to the Constitution of the United States so far as they can. White people of the South are going to rule without regard to numbers or Federal laws. They are the superior race, the only race that is fit to control the entire country, whether it be the United States or the Philippines, the West Indies or Africa itself."—Memphis Democratic Dally Paper. TILLMAN'S TALK "We organized the Democratic party, and there was one plank in our platform—it was, "This is a white man's country, and the white men must re-then what is my feeling. It is that God Almighty made me of better clay than any nigger on earth, and the law and constitution can't change it. White supremacy is in the blood." About half a million young colored candidates voted on their first presidential votes November 7. They are wise they'll vote the Republican ticket this time. The Republican party recognizes ability and rewards it accordingly. All colored men look alike to Demo-crats. $2.40 PER YEAR. JIMCROWISM AND INJUSTICE DENOUNCED By National Colored Citizenship Congress in Session at Washington, D. C. IN ADDRESS TO COUNTRY The National Colored Citizenship Rights Congress which met in Washington, D. C. closed a two days' session, the adoption of an address to the county, Lynching, imprecision, 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 dissident forms based on color. It approved the work of the National Equal Rights League along the lines. Addresses to the Country. The states of the Union where the slavery existed, in time followed the great proclamation by the enactment of the 18th Amendment, within their several borders; and the permanent enment by the enactment of the 18th Amendment to the Federal Constitution finally put the power into Federalism, for its recurrence on American soil. For the close of the Civil War peonage was practiced in the South, which has never become thoroughly reconciled to its prescribing equality of citizenship. Works of the South This fact is seen in the widespread efforts to defeat the great purposes of the War Amendment, by the enactment of laws making the disfranchisement of the race a practical reality; by proclaiming the separation of Colored passengers and racial elements on common carriers by proscriptive legislation for residential segregation. The lynching of thousands of Colored men and even women with offenses never proven in the courts but have become almost a national disease. The disorders are the aftermath of slavery, and we appeal to all fair minded men and women, to the enlightened moral and the country, to unite in a nation-wide effort to these abuses to the end that justice prevail in all sections of our Republic. 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 stupendous difficulties in the face of prejudice, prejudice, proscription and injustice, and remarkable because of the powerful influence exerted by these evil agencies. The race has greatly multiplied in numbers, and in usefulness. It has increased its militaryacy to a very low percentage. It has gained wealth in lands. In religious, educational and industrial movements, it has become an important factor in the national life with ever increasing effervescence. However the door of opportunity has been opened. Colored Americans have demonstrated their ability to meet the most exacting requirements of our civilization. The Colored people have made valuable contributions to Science, Invention, Art, and knowledge, their achievements in our national have maintained at a high level the best military traditions of this nation. We desire to express to the friends of this nation justice for all men throughout this country our grateful appreciation for every character which they have rendered in the past. We seek nothing but justice, and the equality of rights and that equal opportunity which are denied to none of the other groups in this country, because of race. Against Reactionary Movement We denounce the segregation of Colored employees in the civil service of the Federal government as un-American, unjust, a wicked, shamful and disgraceful abuse of power. We denounce the spirit of those so-called representatives of the people in the halls of Congress, who are constantly decietize the Colored race by the reactionary legislation which has 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 unselfishly guide the people through the difficulties by which they are being faced, nationally to resist and combat them, 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. Those who have wisdom let their counsel be heard. Those who have wisdom let their counsel be heard. Those who have wisdom let their counsel be heard. Those who have courage, let them stand and content for justice. Signed by: Maurice W. Spencer, Del.; Rev. J. H. Eason, Penn.; Rev. J. E. Wood, J. Wm. Monroe Trott-Maske; J. H. Murphy, Md.; Rev. C.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." — John Stuart Mill. The Birth of a Wild Flower. I was a tiny seed Implanted in Mother Earth, Who, enamoured of the Glorious Sun, Conceived—and gave me birth. If Ye Be Coward. Cringe and cower to the lash's swish, Shrink from the blow of hard-knuckled fast, Sickly grin when your women they slur, And heel to white men like a belly- dragging cur. Fatously applaud bombastic praise, Of pseudo heroes of abolition days. Fervidly sing. "My Country 'Tis of Thee." (As it was taught to you and to me). Lick the hand that knots the rope They put about your, fellow-man's throat. Submit to infamy, insults, abuse. Champion the craven, who these things excuse. The Cave-Man. Massive of build, mightily muscled, Coarse, black hair matted and tousled, Beetle-brow'd, and an ape-like jaw, He was hempd during the reign of primitive law. Knowing no god, disdainful of man, He wrestled for a reluctant nature, with ruthless hand. A bare existence from a barren land. His abode a rock-hewn cave; his mate a wolfish woman. Lithe and cunning, heeling to no man But one—her master; she—his slave. His weapons fashioned of flint and slate. Were grim evidences wherein War and Hate played their part. Hunted the cave-bear to its lair. Warley watched winged monsters of the air. Alone, unafraid, these creatures all he dared. Neither wholly animal, nor wholly man. He was both master and slave of this rock-hewn age. Crudely he wrought, savagely he fought. With sweat and blood life itself—he bought. —Frederic Hart Williams. CLINEDINST Republican Standard Bearers FOR PRESIDENT OF NEW YORK HUGHES FOR EXACT JUSTICE. Many colored people have been in doubt about Mr. Hughes' stand on the question of their rights as citizens: The Republican candidate for president settled the matter by his declaration in his address before the students of Fisk University and other colored citizens at Nashville, Tenn., when he said: "I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all citizens regardless of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice'. We want in this country what is right and fair. I am sure you do not wish particular things done because of color. You want what is right and fair. I desire to see such fair and decent and just treatment as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood." PROTEST JIM-CROW BISHOP All Saints Church, the leading colored Episcopal church in Saint Louis has made a strong protest against the proposed plan to disgrace the Episcopal Church by the adoption of a segregated episcopate. The members of the church held a largely attended meeting to consider the question and after stirring addresses by James L. Usher, David E. Gordon, principals 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 memorialize 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 infamous plan. The only people who favor it are prejudiced whites and Jim-crow colored people devoid of foresight or who expect to profit financially by the scheme. TWO VIEWS ON EDUCATION. It is evident that Republicans and Democrats have widely divergent views on the subject of education. This is what Charles Evans Hughes, Republican candidate for president, has to say about the matter: WOODROW WILSON Character Sketch of the President by Charles Evans Hughes All theories of the efficacy of education are set at naught in the character 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 Princeton University. For many years prior to his academic essay at politics 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 bear 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 pronouncement for its face value. He was a man of education and it was presupposed that he was removed from the petty prejudices 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 destroying 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 vomit of Dardan. He swept the platter clean of the colored man's connection with public service, presumably, thus flying in the face of the record of his own party when President Obama returned to the custom of rendering unto Caesar the things that were Caesar's good, good republicans had accredited and delivered to the public for thirty years. "No possible concept for the advancement of the colored man exclude education. His hope lies not only in the education of himself, but of the race with which he is thrown in contact. Culture is supposed to be a foil for prejudice—a crucible wherein the dogmas of contra-racial aversions may be tempered with cause and effect and from which justice from man to man may emerge. Education should produce fairness, frankness, a basis upon which races and men may meet with common understanding." Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina, a leading Southern Democrat, holds a very different opinion, as will be seen from the following excerpt from one of his speeches: "Educate niggers?" repeated the senator, and then he laughed. "Say, there is only one niger in 100 that can stand an education. The first thing that an educated niger wants to do is to preach the Gospel. If not that he wants to practice law or teach school. Somebody has got to pound it into their heads that they were put on earth to pick cotton, and that's what they'll have to do in the South. You certainly have made a mess of the niger in the North. It's mighty seldom that a niger becomes educated. He gets a sort of veneering and wants to associate with white people, and when he learns that he can't he drops the veneering and becomes just a plain niger. A niger is a nigger, and you can't make anything else out of him. It will come mighty near being war if the fifteenth amendment is not repealed." "I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT OUR WOLEDGE OPENLY AND BOW THAT WE DID OUR LEVEL BACK IN OUR STATE FROM VOTING ...Senator Tillman is a a WORDS, WORDS, WORDS. "I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT OTHER STATES, BUT I ACKNOWLEDGE OPENLY AND BOLDLY IN THE SIGHT OF GOD THAT WE DID OUR LEVEL BEST TO KEEP EVERY NEGRO IN OUR STATE FROM VOTING." President Wilson, speaking before the citizenship convention, urged a "square deal" for the immigrant and demanded that America be kept the finest example of the objects and ideals that go to promote the standards of the world. "We ought to be careful to maintain a government at which the immigrant can look with the closest scrutiny and W WILSON Student by Charles Evans Hughes ation are set at naught in the charac- the United States and candidate for a man of classic culture.

"I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all citizens regardless of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice.' We want in this country what is right and fair. I am sure you do not wish particular things done because of color. You want what is right and fair. I desire to see such fair and decent and just treatment as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood." 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 so by your law? "I believe America should exalt above everything else the sovereignty of thoughtfulness and sympathy and vision, as against the grosser impulses of mankind. No nation can live without vision, and no vision will exalt a nation except the vision of real liberty and real justice and purity of conduct."

If a "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 because more or less African blood flows in their veins? The president is the leader of the Democratic party which has displayed the greatest zeal in enacting discriminating legislation and the president himself has sanctioned the most infamous 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 the president's approval of unjust and unlawful and UNAMERICAN practices, naturally doubt his sincerity. His beautiful words are but bunk. Great lovers of booze, even if a lot of prohibition legislation has been enacted, for the Southern people are usually a lot of hypocrites, one railroad, the L. & N., has found it necessary to provide special coaches in which none but intoxicated persons may ride, for Sunday trains. Since no liquor may be obtained at points in Mississippi and many places in Alabama, Alabamians and Mississippiians took advantage of the Sunday trains to "get tanked up." These passengers made it unpleasant for others, hence the special coach for intoxicated Caucasians. No effort has been made to provide for the colored boozers as "all niggers look alike" to Southerners and they are allowed to stay in the filthy jimcrow car greatly to the discomfort of decent colored people who are forced to ride in them. Democratic papers and speakers continue to ask: "What would Hughes continue, although he has made specific statements to how he would handle future problems. The more important question is "What would Wilson DO?" No one can tell how he would act by what he says. Chairman A. T. Hert of the Western headquarters is certain that Charles E. Hughes will carry all of the normally Republican states within the jurisdiction of the Chicago headquarters, as well as the Democratic states of Missouri and Kentucky. Many colored men of intelligence and character were selected by the last Republican administration to fill positions of trust in the government, and all but two or three were turned out of office by President Wilson. The Democratic party has never had any fixed principle or policies. It has ever been the blind instrument of every bad element that might for the time being be uppermost or seem to promise party success. Nearly all of the prominent colored men who strayed away into the Democratic camp in 1912 have come back to the Republican fold. They say there is no place in the Democratic camp for a colored man. Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, who has dictated the Jim-crow policy of President Wilson, said: "I do not think that a negro should be permitted to participate in the government of the nation." A prominent churchman said recently that caste in India is passing. Caste in the United States is growing stronger, especially since the Democrats have ruled the land. Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidate for Congress in every district. A Republican Congress is needed to uphold a Republican president. The South would be poor today without the colored toilers, yet it is in the South that the Democrats have stolen colored men's rights. PAID ADVERTISEMENT.

Some time ago a shack near Cando, N. D., was burned and a body was found in the ruins. Later George Frazier was arrested on suspicion of being guilty of having committed the crimes of robbery, murder and arson and was placed in jail. Frazier escaped from the jail last Monday and arrived in St. Paul, Wednesday. Detective Black had been detailed to watch for Frazier and as he is six feet four inches tall he had little chance to escape detection and Officer Black arrested him shortly after he reached the city and placed him in durance vile, and an officer will be sent to take him back to Cando.

THINK THEN ACT It is safe to say that all candidates want our votes, but before using our right of franchise we should consider the merits of all, and vote for the best interest of our city. It is a pleasure for me to call particular attention to our friend Noyes C. Robinson, candidate for Clerk of the District Court. He was a deputy under the late Matt Jensen and was unanimously chosen by the Judges of the District court to fill the vacancy. This is the best recommendation any voter could have, and my desire at this time is to impress people to do their best on behalf of N. C. Robinson. The fact that he is going to win is not in my opinion sufficient, we should show that a good of Republicans and now comes before the people and asks for their support. The only office he has held was that of Clerk of the Supreme Court for which he was pre-eminently fitted as he is a first-class lawyer. He is fail, square and true blue, knows no man by race, or for creed, and will make a splendid Congressman. He solicits and deserves your support on November 7th. and efficient public servant is appreciated by all, and that his meritorious services in the past have not been forgotten. It is well to give honor where honor is due and in honoring N. C. Robinson you honor yourself. MME. L. A. P. HENDERSON'S Wonderful Hair Grower is a Wonderful Preparation.

Eighth St PAID ADVERTISEMENT Prepared and issued by the Reese Campaign club, for which $1.00 per inch is to be paid. It seems certain that Mr. Dar F. Reese will be the choice of the voters of Ramsey county for the office of congressman. If elected, as we believe he will be, Ramsey county and the city of St. Paul will have in Congress a representative of the caliber and quality to which so great a city and so populous a county are justly entitled. Mr. Reese has been a resident of St.-Paul for thirty-three years. He has been a factor among the forces which have contributed to its growth from a city of 50,000 to a great metropolitan city of a quarter of a million people, and no man could be chosen who is better equipped to represent the city in the halls of the United States Congress. An orator of marked ability, a student and a scholar, fully abreast of the times and in touch with every important public question, with a splendid public record, and a stainless private life, we can place him in this high office with the confidence that he will be able to measure up to the highest standard of efficiency and wisdom. The campaign he is making is gaining for him the admiration of his splendid audiences and winning for him the respect of all the people, because he has consistently refrained from personalities and abuse. Among his supporters are those who remember the splendid accomplishments of Mr. Reese in bringingitions to St. Paul, the good record he made when clerk Supreme Court. All over the city, his friends are making an active canvas, and feel confident that he will be elected, and truly it may be said, that if every friend for whom Mr. Reese will serve, and if every friend in his behalf, there can no doubt of his election—South St. Paul Times.

Thankfully a subsequent events, we were not left friendless, but act the curtain rings up on another tined to be as unfaltering as the other. We refer to Congressman Carl C. Van Dyke. However much we abhor the person who arrays his talents against us, it must be borne in mind that it requires courage, founded on deep-seated righteous principles, to stand up in Congress in defense of colored people. Without proptoing, that caliber and character of our real friend, Congressman Carl C. Van Dyke. Here are some brilliant spots in an unattributed 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 objections to the unfairness of the measure. It was defeated. Efforts were made to reduce the appropriations for Howard University and the public schools of Washington. Again Congressman Van Dyke stepped into the arena, attacking the injustice of propositions. For many years before becoming Congressman, Mr. Van Dyke was an employee of the Postal Department, where he studied and learned that of that branch of our Government. Upon entering, Congress he introduced a bill to correct some of those evils. One of the features of the measure was the advancement in assignments and salary by seniority and merit. "Seniority and merit" did not sound well to the southern Democratic senators where colored men and white men worked together. The Congressman was asked to understand that the provisions of the bill would not give colored men precedence over white. Even though his pet measure hung in the balance Congressman Van Dyke would not understand anything but equal justice. The bill was defeated. Among the good deeds of the Congressman for us locally is his insistence on the appointment of Mr. Otto N. Raths as master. No man has ever administered that office with such fairness. Ask the employees. Merit is the rule there. No honest man can ask for more. 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. If we have proper appreciation for the value of a real friend, we will please use their efforts to get votes for a tried friend, the kind we need. Citation on Petition for Letters of Administration.
