WATCHED FOR EXPLOSIVES When Break With Germany Came Particular Attention Was Centered on Brooklyn and Manhattan Spans, as Destruction Would Prevent Egress of War Vessels From Navy Yard. New York.—With machine guns and three pounders stationed at the bases and naval militamen patrolling the spans with bayoneted rifles, the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, Queensboro and Hell Gate bridges took on the appearance of stern preparedness against war immediately following the severance of diplomatic relations. The automobilist who motored across the bridges was held up as he chugged to the bridge and as he left the structure by blue unformed naval militamen who insisted on searching each vehicle for explosives. "Keep moving" was the spirit imparted to all who used the bridges Photo by American Press Association. GUARD ON MANHATTAN BRIDGE. and were inclined to linger and watch the guard mount. Sharp bayonets emphasized the commands. Trolley cars sped from end to end of the bridges without a pause. The street car companies had been ordered to permit no hesitation by motormen. Among the naval militiamen who answered the call to report was Vincent Aslor. There are about 2,000 men in the New York organization of the naval militia, but only the first and second battalions were originally called upon to contribute detachments. The First battalion had headquarters aboard the Granite State, at the foot of West Ninety ninth street, where Commodore Forshew had his headquarters. The Second battalion, commanded by Captain Fitzgerald, was situated at the foot of Fifty-fifth street, South Brooklyn. Captain Fitzgerald established headquarters in the Hotel Sinclair, Brooklyn. From seventy-five to ninety men were detailed to each of the bridges. Groups were stationed at the anchors and pier bases of the bridges, and from these points searchlights were flashed. Are lights were suspended from the bridge floorings. A fifty foot dead line, prohibiting vessels from approaching nearer than fifty feet of pliers of the bridges, was established. It was enforced by five tugs of the naval militia. These tugs cruise up and down the river. Each had three men armed with rifles besides an officer. The squadron was in command of Ensign Russell. Particular attention was centered on guarding the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, inasmuch as destruction of either of these structures would prevent egress of war vessels from the navy yard. Besides the militiamen, a company of sailors from the battleship New Jersey were in duty on the Hell Gate railway bridge. LONG EAGLE FLIGHT Tagged In Montana, It Was Killed Near Bogota, Columbia. El Centro, Mont.—P. B. Christian of Route No. 1, box 62. El Centro, while in Choteau, Mont. Aug. 19, caught a golden eagle in his wheat field. He released the bird the next day with a small bottle containing his name and address tied to its leg. Mr. Christian recently received a message from Luis Fellipe Rula. in the Republic of Colombia, stating that Rula killed the eagle Oct. 29, 1916. The eagle flew 3,700 miles from Montana to the plains north of Bogota. When the bird was captured Mr. Christian planned to keep it as a pet, but it evinced such a desire to get away that he decided to mark it in some manner so as to determine its habits. Mr. Christian said that the bird was on its way south when it landed in his 640 exhausted. MILITARY TRAINING FOR HALF A MILLION BOYS Defense Society Plans Drills In High Schools Throughout Country. New York.—With the object of greatly reducing the time required to make competent soldiers out of raw recruits, the American Defense society set in motion a comprehensive plan for organizing the junior and senior classes of every boy's high school in the country into military training units. New York state already has military training of high school students. Every other state in the Union has received the "call to arms." The action was taken by the military defense committee of the society after consulting Major General Leonard Wood. Volunteers will be required to read the constitution of the United States and pledge themselves before the mayors of their cities to uphold it. Then they will receive certificates of enrollment, charters and detailed instructions for military training week by week. A ten mile hike each week and setting up exercises will be required of recruits, who will be compelled to put themselves in first class physical trim. The society and its advisers are particularly anxious that the boys of the country should not be taught anything that they would have to unlearn if at the age of eighteen they were called to the colors after leaving school. For that reason close order military drill, the manual of arms and such only will be taught where competent instructors are available. SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OLD, HIKES SIXTY-FIVE MILES Philadelphia. - Samuel S. Cavin is an attorney who was sixty-five years old recently, and he personally conducted the following celebration: He walked sixty-five miles. Elapsed time, midnight to 8:15 p. m. And did it on an empty stomach. Then he came home. Took a rubdown. Ate a big steak. *Smoked a big cigar. And said that he "was off" the walking stunt again until he was seventy years old, when he would walk seventy miles. Mr. Cavin is a ruddy cheeked, agile, athletic man who belies his age. He has been celebrating his birthday in this manner for a number of years, so at midnight he left Atlantic City and began his hike. He came to Kaighn's ferry, which is sixty-one miles from the shore, and thence to his home, a distance of sixty-five miles. Mr. Cavin attributes his ability to make these trips to a regular system of living. "I get up in the morning, take a cold bath and eat a hot breakfast," he said. "Then I keep myself on a regular schedule and walk whenever I get the chance. I shall cut out walking birthdays after this and confine myself to five year periods. About the time I am one hundred the Cobbs Creek boulevard may be done and I may take a century run over that. "Oh, I forgot something. I get busy with the dumbbells every morning." LONG WALK FOR JUBOR Trains Did Not Serve, So McCrill Footed It For Many Miles Leavenworth, Kan.—How would you like to take a little jaunt, say twenty five or thirty miles, at the present time? Sure, a nice little walk. Well, Kirby McCrill so sizes up a trip of that length. Kirby was among those summoned to sit on a jury. There happened to be no trains coming to Leavenworth when Kirby desired to start. That didn't bother him, neither did the high price of shoe leather. So Kirby walked to Kansas City, a distance of about twenty-seven miles. "It was just a nice little stroll," said Kirby. "I take long walks often and there is nothing like it to preserve one's good health. At Kansas City I caught an interurban car and came to Leavenworth. I intend to walk back when I get through with the jury work." Surgeon Replaced Mule's Ear. Flushing, O.—The ear of a valuable mule of the Belmont Coal company has been saved. While being worked in the mine a live wire came in contact with the mule's ear and burned it off close to the head. Dr. V. H. Stevens was summoned and he sewed the ear back on the mule's head. The operation was successful and the mule will not be disfigured. STEAL CHICKENS, BUT LEAVE AN AUTOMOBILE Kansas City. Mo.—Chicken thieves who robbed the hen- roost of a farmer near this city the other night were unable to get their automobile starter to work, so they left the flivver be- hind. Although the farmer app- ropriated the machine for the two dozen chickens stolen, he said he thought the thieves got something the better of the bargain. WILDCAT JUMPED AT AUTO. Wisconsin Judge Bringa Home Proof of Encounter on Tour. Milwaukee, Wis.-Municipal Judge A. C. Backus, his wife and four children narrowly escaped with their lives when a wildcat jumped at the automobile in which they were touring through the state near Athens, Wis. The animal struck the front left tire so hard that its skull was fractured, and it fell backward dead on the road. "I was driving toward Athens when I noticed a dark object on the left side of the road," said Judge Backus. "At first I thought it was a large dog. When I saw that it was a cat and too large for a tame cat I put on speed. The cat jumped straight for the car, and I turned the wheel so that the cat struck it. Its skull must have been fractured. At the time I had no means of defense. It was a lucky thing that the cat was in front of the car instead of at the side or it could have jumped into the machine." Judge Backus took the dead animal from Athens to Marshfield, where he is having it mounted. It weighed between forty and fifty pounds and is of a grayish brown color. BIBLES TO SOLDIERS. Sunday School Children Give $25,000 Sunday School Children Give $25,000 Toward Distribution at Front. Princeton, N. J.-The Rev. Dr. John Fox of New York, secretary of the American Bible society, told a group of friends of the society who assembled at the university that Sunday school children had contributed more than $25,000 to provide European soldiers with Bibles and that more than 500,000 copies of Testaments had been sent to the front. The Rev. A. C. Tucker, a missionary who has spent years in Brazil, told of the distribution of Bibles in that country. President Hibben of the university, at whose invitation the meeting was held, presided. The guests assembled first at President Hibben's home, but so many accepted the invitations that it was found necessary to adjourn to McCosh hall. PUNY ITALIAN SINGS WAY Ability to Make Living Doubted Until He Renders Aria. Boston.—Dominick Pacificio, thirty years old, sang his way into this country. When he arrived recently from italy he was held because of his piny physique, the immigration officials doubting his ability to make his way in the United States. "But I can, if you give me a chance," said Pacificio. "I am an opera singer." "Sing, then," challenged an inspector. Before the board of special inquiry the Italian struck up an aria from "La Tosca." When the song ended the board of inquiry unanimously voted that with such a voice it was not likely Pacificio would become a public charge. The Italian said he would go to Phila delphia to join a brother, a priest. SHIP'S CREW PANS GOLD. Skipper Gave Them a Day For Search After Steamer Was Loaded San Francisco. -Every member of the crew of the steamer San Pedro, which arrived here recently from Navidad bay, thirty-five miles from Manzanoville, Mexico, had a bag of gold washed from the sands of a creek that tumbled into the bay near where the steamer was loading cedar logs. One of the crew discovered the gold. All hands quit loading logs and with dippers, pans and skillets started gold mining. The skipper finally promised that if the men would finish loading the steamer he would give them a whole day to hunt gold. He kept his word. They averaged for the day's work $60 apiece. One man had more than $200 in precious dust. MUST OBEY WIFE FOR YEAR. Must Also Take Pledge, Is Ruling of a Cincinnati Judge. Cincinnati.—For one year Alfred Alnsworth of 912 Livingston street must obey his wife's commands or serve a suspended sentence of three months in the workhouse. In addition he must at his wife's command sign the pledge. This is the decision of Judge Fox, rendered in the municipal court, after the wife had preferred charges of assault and battery. "If he refuses to obey you just report to me," Judge Fox sententiously remarked to Mrs. Alnsworth. Alns worth meekly followed when his wife said "let's go home." HUNT SHARKS FOR LEATHER Shoe Firm's Offer Makes Louisiana Fisherman Get Busy. New Orleans—Fishermen here have gone to hunting man eating sharks. It is to become a highly profitable as well as thrilling sport, it is said. According to the bureau of fisheries at Washing ton, the skin makes superior shoe leather, the best hide being that of the blue shark. Several weeks ago H. Serkowich of Cincinnati offered to buy a large quantity of skins. This caused hundreds of boats to be fitted out for pursuit of the terror of the gulf and Caribbean sea, which are plentiful at this time of the year. Massillon, O.-Frank Hossler of East Tremont street is breaking into society at the age of seventy-five years. He was given a reception recently by a number of friends and relatives. It was the first party he had ever at tended. Two Hundred and Sixty-five Chapters Throughout the Country Directed to Organize First Aid Classes and to Prepare For Assembling Hospital Equipment and Surgical Supplies. Washington—Measures to put the American Red Cross on a footing for active war relief "in view of present events and possible developments" were ordered by the society's headquarters here. The 206 chapters throughout the country were directed to organize first aid classes, prepare for assembling hospital equipment and surgical supplies, list volunteer doctors and nurses and take any other steps necessary to insure complete preparedness for relief work. The circular order sent to the chapers reads as follows: "In view of present events and possible developments the central com- MISS MABEL C. BOARDMAN, DIRECTING HEAD OF RED CROSS SOCIETY. mittee desires each chapter immediately to make adequate preparation to carry out the work for which the Red Cross is chartered by congress.

"If not already active appoint following committees: Finance, hospital, garments and surgical supplies, comfort bags, packing and shipping, publicity and information, motor service; appoint committee on co-operation with outside organizations, which should begin work at once. "File names and addresses of all volunteers, assigning as far as possible to above committees. For information concerning courses of instruction for lay women inquire of bureau of nursing service. Washington. Refer graduate nurses to same bureau. Doctors volunteering should be referred to Washington. Men wishing to volunteer for service should take first aid courses, and the possibility of organizing sanitary training detachments should be taken up at once. "Present to public vital importance of a large supporting chapter membership and appoint special committee to conduct aggressive membership enrollment. Detailed instructions will be sent as needs develop. "Central committee asks prompt acknowledgment by letter or telegraph of these instructions, giving outline of your preparation. Call freely on head quarters for full co-operation since central committee, realizing opportunity of service to country, bespeak every effort for complete and thorough organization for possible needs." WIVES WILL RIDE TOO. Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Marshall to Join In inaugural Parade. Washington. - Senator Overman, chairman of the Joint Inaugural Committee of congress, announced that the president and the vice president will be accompanied by their wives when they ride up Pennsylvania avenue to the White House after the inaugural ceremonies at the capitol on Monday. March 5. The first wife of a president to ride with her husband following the inaugural ceremonies was Mrs. Taft. Mrs. Marshell will be the first wife of a vice president to ride in the inaugural parade. A third carriage for the inaugural committee will be an innovation. All three will be drawn by four horses each. DAYLIGHT SAVING? NOT FOR SKAGWAY Skagway.—The Skagway (Alaska) Commercial club has gone on record as against the daylight saving plan, since in summer they have all day all night, with the exception of the few min- utes at midnight called "dawn." In the northerly part of the Yukon there is so much daylight there that it is necessary to blindfold the chickens so they may go to roost. Speed and Range of Vision Three Times That of Destroy. Washington.—Rear Admiral Peary, chairman of the National Aerial Coast Patrol Commission, when the break with Germany came emphasized the bearing of the critical international situation on the necessity for an adequate aeroplane coast patrol. "If congress," he went on, "should order the immediate mobilization of all air men in the country and the training of 5,000 aviators, should enlist the various aerial organizations and interests of the country in registering applicants and should make mandatory the training of 2,500 aviators in six months and of the entire 5,000 in a year it would go far toward remedying a present defect in our defense which presents possibilities of the gravest danger. "The aeroplane will be the quickest and cheapest antidote for the submarine. Its speed and range of vision are three times that of the fastest destroyers. It can detect and follow a submarine that is entirely invisible to any surface craft. It can destroy the submarine when it comes near the surface. One thousand hydroaeroplanes along our Atlantic coast will double the efficiency of our destroyers and the muquito fleet and increase the value of our coast protection from 200 to 300 per cent." BEAN SHOOTER MINDS MAKE RACE OF BORES BEAN SHOOTER MINDS MAKE RACE OF BORES All Too Much Alike, Says Dr. Vincent, Rockefeller Foundation Head. Chicago.—Dr. George Edgar Vincent, president of the University of Minnesota and president elect of the Rockefeller foundation, spoke on "Crowd Psychology" to 500 members of the Chicago Dental society at their fifty-third annual banquet. Some of his epigrams were: "The truth is, we are so much alike that we bore each other almost to distraction." "Some people have tubular minds, like bean shooters. You load them at one end and shoot the contents out of the other." "Idiots and children are the only ones you cannot hypnotize." "A society for the suppression of the obvious remark would soon fill a city block." Dr. Vincent is one of the most rapid of after dinner orators. His humor found ready response from the members of the society and their wives and daughters. He said that his standards of ideals were abstractions from human personality. "The hard headed person," he ended, "is one into whose brain you cannot drill an idea when he is not looking." PONDER FIRST RECRUIT. Postmistress Gets Reward of $5 For "Soldier of the Sea" Atlanta, Ga.—Ye feminine is rapidly outstripping her masculine rivals in military affairs, as a postmistress, like Joan of Arc, leads in the lure of the fighting man. In the activities of the postmaster campaign for recruits for the United States marine corps the first person to receive the $5 reward for the securing of a recruit for the "soldiers of the sea" was a woman. Miss Mary Rudhill, handler of the mails in Forsyth, Ga., who enlisted Richard Lewis Ponder of that place, according to First Sergeant Ernest H. Galway of the local marine corps recruiting station. "There may be nothing in a name," mused Galway, "but he was the first, and that makes one ponder." SAWS WOOD AT NINETY-TWO Having Finished Job, Saye He Wants Pickerel While Ice Lasts. New York.-Garrett Iseman, ninety-two years old, dung the last neatly cloven stick on a seven foot woodpile behind his house at Sparkill, Rockland county, and went up to the attic to overhaul his fishing tackle. Having finished sawing and splitting his winter's wood supply, he is going after some pickerel while the ice lasts. "You won't find any knots slung under the house either," he told neighbors who complimented him on his vigor. Iseman worked on the first train that ran over the Erie railroad and was an engineer on that line for forty years. He retired more than thirty years ago. WEDS HIS STEPMOTHER. Queer Family Tangle Arises After the Marriage. Gallipolis, O.-Willard Houser was married recently to Mrs Stella Houser, his stepmother, who is the mother of three children by Houser's father Houser's father died three months ago. The newlyweds reside at Chapman, in Jackson county, near here. By Willard's marriage to his stepmother he becomes stepfather as well as half brother to his wife's children Chinese Coins on Women's Hats. Sioux City, Ia., War prosperity has caused milliners here to add a fifth season to the four now recognized by the trade. The new one has a style all its own, say dealers, the advance in price of Chinese coins from 8 cents to $1.50 a hundred having leut charm to them as decorations for women's hats. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. TEACHING INDIANS IS THIS WOMAN'S HOBBY Mrs. Molineux Declares Red Man Can Be Led, but Will Not Be Driven. Salt Lake City.-To have mothered one or possibly two tiny lives through the strenuous days of early infancy is a task that most women consider plenty, but Mrs. Elizabeth Molineux, until recently a teacher in the United States Indian service, has the distinction of having mothered a whole tribe of Plute Indians, and claims the satisfaction of having raised them, old and young, from a condition bordering on the squalid state where they consider cleanliness next to godliness and, one and all, are heartily in favor of both. Mrs. Molineux recently resigned her post as teacher on the Shlwits reservation in southern Utah and is in Salt Lake resting preparatory to going to Ketchikan, Alaska, to take charge of the Episcopal church's mission school there. She is a guest at the home of the Right Rev. Paul Jones, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Utah, while here. Indians have become a hobby with this diminutive little Scotchwoman, she speaks their languages and in her eight years of service with the Indian department has been intimately associated with the trials and tribulations that beset poor Lo on his native heath. Mrs. Mollneux is an ardent churchwoman and attributes her success in dealing with Indians to the fact that by blending religious teachings with the "three R's" she has dismissed distrust of her from the minds of her charges and has always been regarded by them more in the light of a friend than a teacher. She declared the Indian mind to be susceptible to teaching if properly approached, but adds that he can be led but will not be driven. CHASING A COYOTE IN AUTO EXCITING SPORT Hound, Sighting Game, Leaps Over Mud Shield and Lands Twenty Feet Ahead of Car. Larned, Kan—An exciting coyote chase in automobiles took place near Hanston. The party consisted of Bill Hann, John Mann, Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Seaman and William Warring. They went in two cars and took three greyhounds in each car. Mr. Warring says that auto polo is mild compared with the way those two cars chased across the prairie, ravines and bluffs after coyotes. He said that his speedometer registered forty miles one time when he dared to glance at it, and he was afraid to look again. They were going along between twenty and thirty miles an hour at the time they started up the first coyote, and when the biggest hound in Mr. Warring's car sighted the wolf it leaped over the wind shield and hood and landed running twenty feet ahead of the car. The coyote was a big fellow, but the hounds finally brought him down, the big hound throwing him, while the others pinned him down. While chasing the first coyote the other auto nearly ran over another one, which leaped up almost from under the wheels of the car. The men shot at it several times, wounding it, but because of the speed of the bounding car could get but poor aim. It finally ran into a hole and was fished out with a wire. Messrs. Hann and Seaman have killed many coyotes. WIRELESS PLANT IN BED. Annapolis Middle Receives Messagea Through Springs. Annapolis, Md.—That a series of bed-springs connected by wires makes a satisfactory condenser for a wireless station has been proved by Midshipman J. B. Dow of the fourth class at the Naval academy. Dow has connected the springs of his own and his two roommates' beds and attached them to a receiver. He has been able to pick up messages sent from and to the Arlington station. He has found out that it is not necessary to open the windows of his room in Bancroft hall or even to remove the bedding. It is stated that Dow's use of the bed-springs to receive radio messages may be of considerable practical value. Waits Fifty Years For Father's Gift. Pittsburgh, Pa.—It cost fifty years of waiting and a lawsuit against his stepmother, but John W. Baker of New Bloomfield recently received $525, turned over to his mother by his father in 1867. It was to be his on his father's death, but Mrs. Rebecca T. Baker, stepmother and administratrix, and withheld payment. GIRL SUES DRUGGIST FOR LOSS OF HER HAIR * New York.—The efficacy of pro- xide as a hair bleach was brought into question when Katie Gottkind, sixteen years old, asked $5,000 damages from Ju- lius Kalish, incorporated, drug- gist. In trying to transform her self into a blood she lost part of her hair, and what she had left became brick red. She exhibited a shoe box full of hair, Miss Gottk Dank's grandfather, Carl Weisshar, a barber, was not allowed to qualify as an expert. $2.40 PER YEAR. LET OLD GLORY FLY LET OLD GLORY FLY Duffy Ignored U Boat's Command to Lower Colors. CHEMUNG SUNK BY TORPEDO. When Captain and Crew of Thirty-four Got Into Small Boats, Flag Was Snapping In Breeze—They Rulled Away From the Side of the Doomed Liner With It Still Flying. New York.—Captain John L. Duffy, stockily built, square jawed, weather tanned, was among the first of the 274 passengers who came ashore from the French Liner Rochambeau. Until Nov. 28 the captain was in command of the American steamship Chemung. On that day a torpedo from an Austrian submarine sank his ship in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain. The captain was not at all dismayed by his experience, and he said that he would take out another vessel just as soon as he could get one. He has made several trips to Archangel during the war, and submarines do not scare him a bit. Until he goes to sea again CAPTAIN JOHN L. DUFFY. the skipper will be at his home, 237 East One Hundred and Sixty-third street. "The Chemung went down with her flag flying," said the captain as he recalled how he refused to obey an order of the Austrian commander to strike his flag. "We were out from New York with a general cargo and off the Spanish coast in the Mediterranean when the submarine came along." Captain Duffy said. "A shot across our bows was the signal for us to stop, and we did. We had been on the lookout for submarines, and for this reason we did not lose any time in hauling up the signal that we were stopping." In response to a signal from the submarine Third Officer Jacobsen rowed to her, carrying with him the ship's papers. The commander was for arresting the skipper, but apparently he was satisfied with the destruction of the steamer. Moreover, he was placed by Jacobsen's statement that the captain was a good sort of man. The submarine commander signaled for the flag to be lowered, but the skipper paid no attention. He and his crew of thirty-four got into small boats, and the flag was snapping from the staff as they pulled away from the side of the doomed liner. "We were hardly out of range when the submarine opened fire on the Chemung," the skipper continued. "She attempted to sink the ship by shell fire, but as this had apparently no effect and the vessel continued to ride high out of water the commander sent a torpedo into her. She sank within two minutes." When the Chemung went down the submarine circled about and picked up the two small boats. Lines were passed by the submarine, and for two hours she towed the boats toward the shore. Then the Spanish steamship Salvadore Giner came in sight, and the men on the submarine cut the towline, and a few seconds later she had dived beneath the sea. WIDOW TO GIVE AWAY LAND. Will Donate Building Site to Any Couple Who'll Live Near Her. Paterson, N. J.-Mrs. W. E. Westervelt, a lonely wealthy widow, eighty-years old, has offered to give free a tract of land to any young couple who will build and live in a bungalow alongside the new house she is having constructed outside the city. In her opinion city life is not good for young married persons because there are too many movies and other attractions to draw their attention from the home. Mrs. Westervelt is interested in religious work among young people and is moving from her house at 18 Church street because she believes that a country life is the best one to lead for health and happiness. Her offer was made known after church services the other night, and it is expected she will have many applicants for the building lot. J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER J. Q. ADAMS, Manager.

"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. FREDERICK DOUGLASS During the present week the centennial of the birth of Frederick Douglass has been celebrated all over the United States, by people who desired to do honor to one of the most wonderful men this country, or any other, has produced. Born a slave and hampered by this fact of his lowly birth, coupled with the inhuman color prejudice of this country, he rose to heights that few men so hampered dream of. He has left his imprint on the pages of history and has a place in the hearts of his fellow men none can hope to equal. As the years roll by, the name of the "Old Man Eloquent" will be more and more revered by the people in whose interest he spent his life. HE IS ALWAYS IN IT There are very few events of National importance to the United States in which the colored man has not figured in some way. He was with Columbus when he discovered America; he was among the first to die in the Revolutionary war; he was with Jackson in the war of 1812; he was with Perry in the battle on Lake Erie; he was in the civil war to the number of nearly 200,000; he was much in evidence at San Juan Hill; he was with Peary at the discovery of the North Pole; he was quite a feature in the recent Mexican trouble and now it seems he is to be the cause of getting us into the world war, if color prejudice does not prevent George Washington, the American citizen who was killed on the British ship Turino from receiving the same consideration as an American citizen that any other citizen is entitled to. SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION. The Chicago Tribune, which was a copperhead sheet during the Slave- DR. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS. They brought him down from the operating table at 1:30. It was a serious operation, the second he had undergone in two weeks. At four I saw him sleeping in the ward, either still hiding from him the sick horror that awakening might mean. "He is unconscious, and we cannot tell yet," said the nurse, "but he seems to have stood the operation pretty well." So I walked out of the hospital, thinking of all it would mean to twelve million people if this champion of theirs were not permitted to live. Others would take up the guage where 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. Doctrinales 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 HYPOCRITICAL TRIBUNE. 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 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 THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. he threw it down; others might wield brilliant pens; others would speak with something of his quiet eloquence But never again could these millions find another leader exactly like him I said to myself then, and I say it to you now: What the Colored people need most of all is not money, or land, or political power, or patronizing friends, but unpurchasable leaders—leaders who would not sell their souls for the good will of their neighbors or for big buildings, any more than they would for a dollar or a job." 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! 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 o. 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 ascendency of the people who rebelled and sought to destroy our great Nation. The Southern people were rebels in the true sense of the term and they desired to perpetuate slavery. The proper designation for the great struggle from 1861 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. HIGH COST OF LIVING. According to the annual report of Armour & Co., meat dealers of Chicago, made public last week, the net earnings were $20,100,000 or 20 percent on capital stock and 14.7 per J. E. SPINGRARN 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 proportional gains; does it not follow that the outrageously 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. "WHY AMERICANS FAIL." It is a notorious fact that in spite of Pan-American congresses, long-winded editorials in American newspapers, etcetera, the United States is far behind Germany, Great Britain, France and Spain so far as trade in Latin-America is concerned. A book by A. Wyatt Verrill on appl. usurpation pus quinqs. Conditions of Today," recently issued by Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, has this to say under the heading, "Why Americans Fall:" "Race or religious prejudice, condescension, discourtesy or bluff have no place in Spanish America. The Latin-American is a gentleman first, last and all the time. He has never acquired our habit of being a gentleman in private life and a boor in business and he expects others to be as courteous as himself and if they are not he judges them accordingly. He may be white, brown, yellow or black, but he remembers that one of his ancestors was probably a plumed grandee of Old Spain. You may scoff at his ideas, you may laugh at his faith, you may curse at the "lazy Greasers," and through it all he may smile, treat you with respect and politeness and greet you with expressions of the greatest pleasure, but in his heart he despises you for an ill-bred "Yankee plg" and thanks God that he is of Spanish blood. On the other hand treat the Latin American with courtesy, praise the buildings and industry of his town, admire his beautiful women, visit his places of interest, and speak his language and you may command respect, admiration and true friendship and every entertainment and comfort will be yours." THE APPEAL has printed a number of editorials along this line showing that Americans have lost millions of dollars through their jimcrow methods and it is a great satisfaction to have this view upheld by a great authority thoroughly familiar with conditions. Race prejudice is an expensive proposition for those who indulge in CHARITY MAKE COWARDS "Charity makes for slaves, cowards and sycophants," said "Mother Jones" of Colorado mine field fame, recently. Her words are true. Men cheat their employees out of what is their just due and become rich and when they have accumulated millions they pose as "philanthropists" and endeavor to perpetuate their names by giving money for libraries or "charities," or Christian (?) associations. Instead of being great philanthropists, these men, in many cases, are simply thieves who really ought to be in prison for having robbed their fellow men. No class has suffered more from the "philanthropies" of these rich trieves than the colored people and their nefarious work has been aided by so-called colored leaders who have taken the role of public mendicants and have begged for money to organize jimcrow institutions and thus prevent their own class from securing their rights as American citizens. The product of the segregated institution is usually a crop of young colored people with slavish instincts; cringing cowards, servile sycophants. Great God deliver the people from such charity and give them justice 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 that this beautiful land of ours will not be cursed by their domination any longer.

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 conceited and are forgetting the fine simplicity of life, and made me for money, and we must admit that he is. 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 modeled life, popcorn is popping and bursting in different directions, no peace, no noise anywhere." THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes co The human race h test. Had no voice injustice, ignorance quisition yet would 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.

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 about 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. The Tuskegee reports are in line with the Tuskegee policy of minimizing the injustices, outrages and crimes of the Caucasians of the South against the colored people. Inaccurate reports do more harm than good and the Tuskegee people ought to present accurate data or cut out their lynchings bulletins. ce when we should wards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- d serve the law, and OFFERING WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS.

DEDICATION OF WELCOME HALL. The dedication of Welcome Hall, corner of Farrington and St. Anthony avenues, on Lincoln's birthday, last Monday afternoon, at 4:00 o'clock, attracted an audience that packed the auditorium. Welcome Hall is a sort of social and educational center adjunct to Alon Presbyterian church that was recently built with the efforts of Rev. G. W. Camp, pastor of the church, and his estimable helpmate, aided by the Presbyterians of the city and others who feel that "the colored people ought to have a place of their own" of this character. Among the speakers were John A. Marquis, moderator of the Presbyterian general assembly; B. H. Schriber, Esq., James Sydam, Rev. Geo. W. Camp and Bishop C. B. Mitchell of the M. E. church, who was the principal speaker, who said some good things, and some that might with much propriety been left unsaid. After the services the people were invited to inspect the building of three stories, that is admirably arranged for the purpose of filling the long-felt want it is supposed to supply. "RECORD BREAKERS." The Next Attraction at the Star Theatre. At the Star, Jack Reid's famous burlesquers, the "Record Breakers," will be seen for the week of Feb. 18.

A novelty will be the first appearance here of Alvora, the ballet dancer. The chorus is composed of twenty members, who are handsome and graceful in their many ensembles. A fitting scenic outfit with unique electrical effects, will harmonize with the program. SPECIAL AGENCY FOR THE MAN WHO CARES The Florsheim SHOE Stanley Shoe Co. 421 Robert Street, St. Paul N. W.

A committee of twenty will have the work. Dr. Cyrus Northrop was the principal speaker at meeting. He paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln. He deplored the after-batteriness of the Civil War as something Lincoln could have healed had he lived. "The "Eat Shop," 403 Fifth Avenue, formerly operated by Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
