SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 "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 OUT-DOOR SPORTS CARNIVAL The weather man and the St. Paul Out-Door Sports Carnival Association seems to have had a mutual understanding this year, and a combination has been in vogue that has proved quite satisfactory all around. The work of the Association could not well have been bettered, as the 40,000 citizens in carnival costumes beautifully and strikingly testify. Nowhere has there ever been such a riot of color in costumes and decorations in any celebration as has been shown in St. Paul this carnival season; young and old, grave and gay, of all nationalities, in the cosmopolitan population of this city seemed to have imbled the carnival spirit and the result has been decidedly delightful. The blizzard of last week that was furnished by the weather man produced a supply of "the beautiful" that has not been equaled in a quarter of a century and as it had become somewhat soiled since its arrival on Jan. 21, the accommodating weather man sent a second blizzard last Tuesday to brighten up the old town for the great "famile beau parade in which appeared 15,000 marchers and scores of handsomely illuminated vehicles and boats." Upward of $15,000 was expended in filming the great carnival and its special features that were witnessed by a quarter of a million spectators, and will be seen on the screens by untold world, giving the capital city of the great North Star state the greatest advertisement any city ever got. THE HYPOCRITICAL TRIBUNE. In another editorial THE APPEAL has called attention to the hypocritical fight the Chicago Tribune has started to cut down Southern representation. In another issue the Tribune claims THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con The human race has test. Had no voice injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide The few who dare speak again to rip many.—Ella Wheel To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. to be actuated by a desire to correct a condition "incompatible with progress and democratic society." And in the same editorial it throws off its mask and says: An intelligent majority of the north can be relied upon to defend the south from colored domination. There ought to be a more energetic co-operation to try to work out for the colored American a special status in which, at least during what may be called his political and social minority, he could be protected in his civil rights and assured conditions of development, though not granted the political privilege which would make him in his present condition a weight upon southern progress and a cause of anxiety or race feeling. The political genius of America ought to be able to work out such a compromise." The Tribune's words are so "incompatible" with the genius of democracy that they answer themselves. Think of the Tribune proposing a "special status" for the colored American, after the Supreme Court of the United States, headed by a Southern Chief Justice, has thrown the "grandfather clause and other Southern political schemes into the scrap heap! "A NEGRO WEST POINT." "Giles B. Jackson and other negroes," so says the wires, have appeared before a Senate committee in Washington and asked for the establishment of a "negro West Point." Giles is an alleged lawyer from Richmond, Virginia, who has figured in a number of Jim-crow propositions, but this oke caps the climax. How any man, born in America, can go to Congress and ask that the badge of inferiority be placed upon him and his children by Congressional action, is beyond the comprehension of THE APEAL. If colored men are willing to risk their lives in defense of their country, they ought to be trained in the existing West Point and if they are Jim-crowed they ought to refuse to enlist. It would be interesting to look into Giles' head and see the wheels go round. JIM-CROW SCHOOLS FOR RUSSIA Is learning from the United States. The alleged republic is giving the despotism a few lessons in hellishness and race segregation. Mob murders are increasing in the United States while Russian programs are not so much in evidence as they were two or three years ago. Heretofore there were no segregated schools for Jews in Russia, maintained by the government. Three per cent of the Jewish population were admitted to the public schools and universities. Now the cable tells us that a series of segregated high schools and industrial schools exclusively for Jewish students, similar to the Jim-crow schools of the Southern United States are to be established. So the work of hell devised in the South is continued in Holy Russia. According to the annual report of Armour & Co., meat dealers of Chicago, made public last week, the net earnings were $20,100 or 20 per cent on capital stock and 14.7 per cent on investment. The report, also says the year was the most prosperous in the history of the company. As this company is only one of many such companies, who, it is reasonable to presume made the same proportions gains, does it not follow that the out THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than th world, the counten the hearts of friend I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. ce when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- l serve the law, and our least disputes. e must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. rageously high prices that have been and now are being charged for meats are thus shown to be little short of wholesale robbery. When people are compelled to pay, in many instances, three times as much as they formerly paid for the same meats, does this not show conclusively that such concerns as Armour & Co. are largely responsible for the high cost of living that is driving people to suicide. There should be some plan by which such concerns should be prevented from lining their coffers by imposing their unfair and uncalled for prices on the public, for the necessaries of life. SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION. The Chicago Tribune, which was a copperhead sheet during the Slave holders' Rebellion and has since been a persistent enemy of the colored people has started a little movement to cut Southern Representation in Congress. We quote some of its editorial slush, which if carefully read, will be found to contain in itself a sufficient answer to the Tribune's punk ideas of political morality. "Nevertheless it is the duty of every American, regardless of party, to attack a condition which not only runs counter to the principles of representative government, but also is demoralizing to our political morality and the right development of our national policies. Doctrinaires and sentimentalists in the north demand the enforcement of the right of franchise of the Negro in the south. There is no such demand in the north generally, for it is recognized that political domination by the Negro is not desirable. It is realized that the premature enfranchisement of the slave was a misfortune to all concerned, however justifiable as a war measure. Intelligent opinion in the north is in harmony with intelligent opinion in the south in desiring for colored people defense from exploitation and conditions of orderly progress. Thinking men and women in both sections realize that these desiderata are retarded, not advanced, by pressure for full political privileges and the fear it keeps alive among southern white men. "But if we do not adhere to dogmas, which, by the way, is one of the weaknesses of the Jeffersonian Democracy the south helps to perpetuate, if we sympathize and support the south's determination to deal with its problems as conditions, we do not waive our right to protest and if possible prevent the south from making its necessity a cover for unfair political profit." 'THE SLAVEHOLDERS' REBELLION. The national order of United Daughters of the Confederacy, recently in annual session at Dallas, Texas, passed a resolution urging upon the people of the United States that hereafter they refer to the war of secession as the "war between the states," and not as the "civil war" as has been customary. The ladies have a lot of nerve like Southerners of the male persuasion. For many years they have been telling us that the South was right and the North was wrong in the great struggle and to a great extent the North has accepted that view of the case so that nowadays there is very little respect even in the North for the Northern soldier who fought to preserve the Union. It is disgusting to any believer in real democracy to note the ascendancy of the people who rebelled and sought who in the consi- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of the ances of relatives or —Charles Sumner to destroy our great Nation. The Southern people were rebels in the true sense of the term and they desired to persecute slavery. The proper designation for the great struggle from 1851 to 1865 is the SLAVEHOLDERS' REBELLION. That is what THE APPEAL has called it in the past and we shall continue to call it by that name. TUSKEEGE ON LYNCHING. A number of Northern newspapers are publishing Tuskegee reports of the lynching of 64 American citizens in 1916, commenting thereon, and congratulating the country that there were fewer cases than in 1915. Tuskegee has for several years reported a smaller number of lynchings than other observers have been able to record. Reliable and accurate reports show that 80 colored people alone and a few whites were mob-murdered in 1916. Five of the colored people were women and one was a child. Another hellish fact was the roasting to death of five colored persons. Inaccurate reports do more harm than good and the Tuskegee people ought to present accurate data or cut out their lynching bulletins. MUZZLING THE PRESS. There is a bill before Congress that has for its object the exclusion from the United States mails of newspapers or any sort of printed matter advertising liquors of any kind. This certainly is a step toward the muzzling of the press to which we very much object. It affects the rights and liberties of the newspapers fully as much as it does those who deal in liquors. It does not apply solely to dry states or dry territory but is general. It seems to us that the passage of the bill in question would work to the detriment of "the freedom of the press" which is generally conceded to be very desirable. The bill should not pass. LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE Wind Jammer Bryan, elated with the undeserved success of the Democrats in the recent national election, is asking a little too much of his party. In a speech at a dinner recently given in his honor at Washington he urged the adoption of nation-wide prohibition and woman suffrage which is a little more than the average Democrat can stand for. He also advocated the passage of an amendment for the election of the President by direct popular vote and to amend the constitution so as to make that instrument more easily amendable. This latter suggestion would undoubtedly meet their hearty approval as the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution have been wormwood and gall that they would like very much to get rid of and in their place put something that would further outrage and crush the colored people. We have got to stand the Democratic administration for the next four years but we most sincerely hope that after this beautiful land of ours will not be cursed by their domination any longer. AS OTHERS SEE US. "Q, wad some power the gifte gifte us to so seurce us, as therets us, see us." We Americans think we are the "whole show," but are we? Sir Rabindranath Tagore, the famous East Indian poet, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, doesn't think we are, and recently criticized us most unmercifully. He said we are building ugly cities, are too self-assured, are nationally conceived and are forgetting the fine simplicity of life in our mad rush for money, and we must admit that he is about right. He says, there is more to life than just making money. Life calls for leisure not machine-made days of money-mad activities. "You hurry so you forget that life at its best is just simplicity, taking time to get the things that money can never buy. "Like a popcorn wagon are your modern ideas of life. Everything is popping and bursting in different directions, no peace, no poise anywhere." According to statistics prepared by Frederick L. Hoffman for "Spectator," Memphis, Tenn., has the unenviable distinction of being the murder metropolis of the United States. More homicides were committed in Memphis than in any other city in proportion to the population. Frederick Douglas was the greatest colored American. He was every inch a man. The colored people in every a city, town and village in the country should hold meetings in honor of the centenary of his birth which occurs February 14.

Everybody Invited. of weakness in the condition of the colonies, in which the slaves were numerous, and laid their plans to gain the colored men and induce them to take up the land against their masters by promising the liberty on this condition. The situation was looked upon by the public men of the colonies as alienating them and again forcing the Congress to adopt the policy of emancipation. But while the general question of emancipation was defended, the exigencies of the contest were so great that the practical one of employment for the colored men, whether bond or free. Only Freemen Wanted in Army. In May, 1775, Hancock and Warren's committee of safety introduced the following formal resolution: "Resolved that it is the opinion of this between Great Britain that the colonies respects the liberties and privileges of the latter, which the colonies are determined to maintain, that the admission of any person as a soldier into the army now raising, but only such as are freemen, will be inconsistent with the colonies to be supported and reflect dishonor in colonies, and that no slaves be omitted into this army upon any consideration whatever." Washington took command of the army around Boston on July 3, 1775. The instructions for the recruiting quarters at Cambridge prohibited the enlistment any "negro." It may also be noticed that they were forbidden to enlist "any person who is not an American born, unless such person has a wife or children," as is a settled person "in this country." Many Colored Men Enrolled. Notwithstanding all this, the fact remains, according to Bancroft, that "the roll of the army at Cambridge had, from its first formation, borne the names of men of color." Free colored men stood in the ranks by the officers of the army, and the men of the war they had entered the provincial army, and the colored men, like others, were retained in the service after the troops were adopted by the Army. A committee on conference, consisting of Dr. Franklin, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Lynch, met at Cambridge October 18, 1775, with the Mr. Charles H. Miller was appointed to take entire charge of the musical part of the program and he promises to present something grand and inspiring. The matter is now up to the public and the people are asked to be the following committee to make this the largest meeting ever held for a like purpose. Further particulars next issue. deputy governors of Connecticut and Rhode Island and the committee of the council of Massachusetts Bay, to visit New England, Washington, and advise a method of deparging the army. On the 23d of October the negro question was presented and disposed of as follows: "Ought not negroes to be excluded from the new army, such as are slaves?" All were those who are by the council of officers. It was agreed that they be rejected altogether. General orders, issued November 17, 1775, Washington says: "New negroes, boys to bear arms, nor old men unfit to endure the fatigues of the campaign are to be enlisted." Permitted Their Enlistment. Washington, however, in the last days of the war, represented to him that the free men who had served in his army were very much dissatisfied at being discarded, and fearing that they might seek emancipation, the British army, took the responsibility from the resolution respecting them and gave license for their being enlisted. Washington promised that if there was any objection on the part of Congress he would discontinue the enlistment in the army, but on January 15, 1776, Congress regranted the free negroes who had served faithfully in the army at Cambridge may be enlisted therein, but no others." The entire aspect of the affairs chiefly involved the 1776 South began to be enforced. The revolution especially, was unable to make any effectual efforts with militia, by reason of the great proportion of citizens necessary to remain at home to prey on the enemies among the colored men and their allies of the enemy, who were assiduous in their efforts to excite both revolt and desertion. The result was that in all the Southern states the legislatures passed resolutions to enlist the colored men, and the enemies of the Revolution are as much involved in their brethren for the ardor with which they fought the common enemy, whether they were bondmen or freemen. It has never been possible to exact statement as to the number of the free men involved in the Revolution, for the reason that they were generally mixed in regiments and not calculated separately.

New in everything but his name, Sim Williams' big girl show, "THE GIRLS THE STARLAND" comes to the Star Theatre for Sunday's engagement, commencing Sunday matinee, February 4th. It has been customary in the past in heralding the annual visit of this production to lay special stress on its marvelous scenic settings, its exquisitely beautiful sartorial department and electrical effects. But the prodigality of this well-known impressario in staging shows, striving to offer the best that an unstinted monetary investiture can secure, has become so well known that little of it is made now in his preliminary announcements. Instead, special endeavor is made to make the remarkable strong and well-balanced cast of principals the feature. "Funny" Billy Gilbert, German comedian of original methods, heads the cast of funmakers. He is ably assisted by Lew Williams in a Hebrew role, Joe Lyons as Charlie Chaplin. Lyons will also be seen as the Sultan. Ann Montgomery, prima donna soprano, who has gained the title "The Song Bird of the Pacific Coast" heads the feminine cast. Magnetic Beulah Kennedy will handle the roleette. Ida Nicolai, said to be the funniest woman on the American stage, is also another pretty member. The chorus of pretty singing and dancing girls is another bright feature. Two comedies, called "Stagger Im" and "A Night in a Harem" are the vehicles used by this clever company. The sensational offering will be Roseadi. Another feature will be the reproduction of the famous painting, "The Fall of Babylon" in which beautiful models will be seen. Many new song hits and dance evolutions will be seen. Tel. Dale 6005 Call for and Deliver DALE STREET TAILOR H. CHARNOVE, PROP. Ladies' and Gent's Suits and Overcoats Made to Order.
