AUTO AIDS GUNNERS Makes Adirondacks Accessible For Week End Trips. Utica, N. Y.—in most sections of the Adirondacks game is plentiful. More and more each year the automobile is being used by gunners, particularly those who live in the cities and towns near the forests. Thousands of hunters are going into the woods for week end trips, and machines are also used for the purpose of taking the hunters from one good ground to another.

Washington.—Rear Admiral Neary, 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 airmen 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 5,000 aviators far go forward in 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, and can destroy aeroplanes along our Atlantic coast, will be the clenchant of our destroyers and mosquito fleet and increase the value of our coast protection from 200 to 300 per cent.” BEAN SHOOTER MINDS MAKE RAGE OF BORES All Too Much Alike, Says Dr. Vincent, Rockefeller Foundation Head.

You load them at one end and shoot the contents out of the other." "Idios and children are the only ones you cannot hypnotize." "A society for the suppression of the obvious remark would soon dill a city block." Dr. Vincent is one of the most rapid of after dinner orators. His humor found ready response from the members of 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."

MAKING OFFICERS More Than 20,000 Are Required For United States Army. Candidates Will Be Grouped by Cities, and Examining Officers Will be Sent to Conduct Examinations at Central Points—First and Most Important Require Is Military Training. Washington—The new army will require more than 20,000 officers of the line, including those of the regular army and the reserve. In the next few months, therefore opportunities will be open for thousands of capable young men to enter the military service. The method of obtaining a commission is not what it has herefore been in times of emergency. The applicant may send his application to the secretary of war or he may, if he has acquaintance with his congressman or senator, send it through either of these. His application once on file in the war department, he will be duly notified as to every step necessary for him to take to qualify for a commission. Naturally at this time, the increment necessary must be crowded into a period of time, many requirements will be less rigorously enforced than in ordinary cases. Candidates will be grouped by cities, and examining officers will be sent to conduct examinations at central points. Examining officers will conduct examinations in a selective manner, maintaining a ratio of one major to five captains, five first lieutenants and five or more second lieutenants. The first and most important requisite is military training, but military training alone will not admit a man to the officers reserve corps. He will be exiled to a captain and sobriety, personality, address and degree, reputation and standing in his community, power to command respect of officers and men, and adequate education. Military efficiency, however, will determine the grade to which he will be appointed. In case of men who have had little or no military training candidates will be recommended for appointment as second lieutenants subject to the thirty-second one lieutenant who are college graduates, or seniors in college, or clearly well educated men, or have demonstrated ability in business, athletics or other activity and possess in a marked degree the ability to handle men. The war department expects that it will be possible under this standard to obtain from forty to fifty good reserve officers of the line from each congressional district of the country. The reserve officers are to hold the general examination as to character and capability up to a high standard. Orders have gone out from the war department to speed up examinations and recommendations because it is recognized that it will require time to make an army of even 600,000 men effective for service under the conditions of fighting employed in the present POWER BOAT TUITION. Squadron Association Places Units at Government's Disposal.

Coollies regard military service as a very desirable occupation. Once enlisted to persuade them to retire. They risk an entire military troubles if an attempt be to disband them without liberal payment. The commanding officers are frequently as mercenary as the soldiers. When the government fails to give its soldiers what they regard as adequate pay the troops frequently become bandits and loot. Each province has its own military governor and a distinct military organization. The Peking authorities, but actually independent in most cases. Consequently the Peking government is forced to deal very diplomatically with the military organizations in the provinces, particularly in the remote provinces. HARVARD MAN FOILS SUN WITH INVENTION Presses a Button In Bed and the Window Shade Goes Down as if by Magic. Cambridge, Mass. — Every morning at 7 o'clock Henry R. Guild of Boston, a Harvard senior, rolls over in bed. Seven o'clock is too early for a senior to get up, so Mr. Guild presses a button and the shade at the distant end of his chamber rolls down as if by magic. No rising sun is going to make him leave his bed unseasonably. Some morning he may miss a four alarm fire by pressing the button, but he's willing to take the chance, he asserts. Getting up at 7 a.m. is a high crime at Harvard, the same as admitting Yale has a good football team this year. Henry Guild framed a motor, attached to the curtain string and laid wires to his bedside. When the sun throws its rays into his bedroom every morning, weather permitting, he button and the curtain fops faster than in the wendyville theater.

The following letter is self-explanatory. St. Paul, Minn., March 30, 1917. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, New York City Dear Dr. DuBois: The colored people of the United States are passing through one of the most dangerous periods of their existence. Surrounded by foes without, some of whom come as wolves in sheep's clothing, pretending to be friends, the most subtle enemy is the foe within, the creatures who are willing to compromise with the outer enemy and barter away the rights of American citizenship. There is no need to write a long statement of the many dangers which beset the colored American, as the conditions are well-known to every thinking man. In order to do in a humble way what I can to change conditions I am sending $5.00 to be the nucleus of a fund which I trust the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will endeavor to raise for the purpose of fighting any jim-crow army legislation which may bob up in the congress which convenes April 2. Bills for a segregated West Point and other perilicious measures will no doubt be introduced. Such infamous legislation should be fought to a finish and the N. A. A. C. P. is the organization to do the work. The money sent is to be used as directed and for no other purpose whatever. THE REPLY. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Ave., New York City. April 6, 1917. GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time life Strong minds, great hearts, Men whom the lust of office Men whom the spoils of office Men who possess opinions as Men who have honor—men Men who can stand before us And damn his treacherous f Tall men, sun crowned, who In public duty and in private God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous fatteries without winking!

Dear Mr. Adams: Your contribution of five dollars "to defeat any jimcrow army and navy legislation which may bob up in Congress" is gratefully acknowledged and will be applied to the salary of the legislative agent we have employed to watch for the introduction of such legislation in the present Congress. It goes without saying that the N. A. A. C. P. will oppose any and all legislation which further restricts or abridges the civil rights of colored people in any respect. I hope your initiative may persuade many others to contribute like amounts. Very truly yours, (Signed) ROY NASH, Secretary. Those who desire to aid this work should forward their contributions to the fund, direct to the National Association for the Advancement, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. ASSAILS U. S. DEMOCRACY "Not until the United States has given self-government to the women can it blaze the way for democracy," declared Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National Women's Suffrage Association, in an address before the Mississippi Valley Suffrage Conference at Columbus, Ohio. She criticized the United States for posing in the world as the champion of democracy when "it is only a democracy for half the people." Mrs. Catt was relentless in her charge that "ours is a democracy that doesn't 'democ.'" "We had better blot the mote from our own eyes before we go forth and want to blot it from the Prussian's eye," she said, declaring further that the United States has no right to talk about "making the world safe for democracy" as long as it believes in drawing the sex line. "There is nothing more illogical," she said, "than to insist that men have the divine right to rule over women and say at the same time that kings haven't divine right to rule over men." "Ours is not a true democracy. The battle of democracy won't be won in this country until we rebaptize our nation and re-establish real democracy." "The national government says woman suffrage must come by states and not by congress. Congress can declare war and conscript our sons, seize our food and clothes, but it can not grant the underlying principle of democracy. It is a curious thing." "It is a shame that under the Stars and Stripes the women should still be struggling for recognition. Everybody in England believes women there will have full suffrage by Christmas. The followers of George III, have beat the followers of George Washington in the race." Now let's do a little figuring. If it is true that the U. S. is only a democracy for half the people, as Mrs. Catt states, and we add the 12,000,000 colored people who are debarred from the benefits of democracy, that means that 62,000,000 of the 100,000,000 inhabitants are shut off from SOME OF the rights and immunities of citizenship and only 48,000,000 rule 100,000,000. If that does not mean autocracy, what is it? The problem is so simple that a child in the kindergarten could figure it out. The Chicago Tribune, noted for its inconsistency and illogical reasoning, has an article on Home Rule for Ireland and a free Poland. It also says: "We can find plenty of reasons for insisting that the war shall free the Armenians from the Turks, shall give 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 friends 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. make this demands true faith and ready hands; does not kill; e cannot buy; and a will; who will not lie; a demagogue batteries without winking! live above the fog e thinking. —J. G. Holland. Greece a republic, Russia a democracy, Belgium an assurance of integrity, France a promise of security, and that it shall enable the statute of Liberty in New York harbor to shine undimmed. "We do not ask that our allies free the Moroccan, the Hindus, or the Koreans, but it seems within reason to ask that they give Home Rule to the Irish and thus help the United States in one of its own local problems." Why does not the Tribune go the full length in democracy and ask freedom for the Moroccan, the Hindus and the Koreans? Is it because their complexions are a trifle darker than the other nationalities mentioned? "But in a war which elects democracy as the principle there ought to be a different condition in some of the lands which are allied to the principle. The United States, which in a real sense is about to fight for the security of the United States, and in equally real sense is about to fight for the principle of democracy, would fight better if the allies to which it is joked were better established in consistency." Speaking of consistency, the Tribune could do a great work along that line by advocating justice for the colored American citizens who are insulted, and oppressed by the state governments of the South and whose lives are never safe from the murder. Southern mob. But instead it has not been a very long time since this same Tribune advocated the stripping from the colored citizen the few rights he now enjoys. "Consistency, thou art a jewel." RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES That valiant defender of the rights of the colored people, John Mitchell, Jr., has an editorial in his paper, the Richmond Planet, which is a gem. We reproduce it in full: Dr. H. B. Frissell has issued a patriotic address to the colored people of the country and from every standpoint save one, it is an admirable production. We are disposed to take issue with him, however, when he says: "As Dr. Washington and Dr. Moton have proved by their lives of quiet, unpretentious service, the colored man is going to secure recognition, not by demanding his rights, but by deserving them." A right is a thing to be demanded; a privilege, a thing to be deserved. If Dr. Frissell had said that the colored man is going to secure recognition by demanding his rights and by deserving them, we would understand fully that he recognized that the citizen of color is entitled to every right and every privilege enjoyed by any other citizen. We pause to remark that the colored people in this country will never come unto their own as long as they believe that they are inherently inferior and that they are not manly enough to deserve their rights, and after deserving their rights, to demand them. The badge of servility, better known by the look of cowardice and the halting attitude of submission to any wrong, is what is handicapping us more than anything else. Colored people who could lead a charge at El Caney and San Juan Hill should walk upright, and, while being respectful and obliging, should demand their rights when necessary and "dig deep in their jeans" to secure the necessary legal rights which will make them respected by their enemies in the courts of this country. Manhood is what is wanted and not servile submission. A blooded white man hates a cringing citizen, be he black or white, and he admires manhood, self respect and courage in a Negro as who in the conscii of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be arts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of the ances of relatives or much so as he does in an Englishman, Frenchman or a German. The colored man is going to obtain his rights, Dr. Frissell, by demanding them and by deserving them. Selah! THE GUARDIAN ON DR. FRISSELL Commenting on the editorial in the Richmond Planet, which is printed in this issue, objecting to one of the points in Dr. Frissell's recent memorial, the Guardian says: "Thus saith in very truth the Planet, "We rise also to deny directly that the 'quiet service' lives of Booker Washington or of Russia Moton secured recognition of rights. The most striking thing about the race-leadership career of Dr. Washington was that coincident with it went the most period of loss of citizenship and of legal debarment from rights ever known in any race and especially during the time Dr. Washington preached most pronounced the doctrine of 'quietly deserving' rights. No further exposition of that matter by us is any longer needed. "We warn Dr. Frissell against reviving the Booker Washington no-egitation issue. Dr. Washington's own friends do not relish or desire it." DEMOCRACY IN THE BALANCE The validity of racial segregation ordinances of many cities has been argued before the full Supreme Court of the United States. The test case was that of a Louisville ordinance establishing residence zones for whites and colored people. Baltimore, Richmond, St. Louis and many other cities have similar ordinances whose fate depends upon the court's decision in the Louisville case. Attorneys representing city authorities, improvement associations and colored societies, including some attorneys of national repute appeared. The case attracted little attention in the press of the country, although it is the most momentous question ever presented to the court of last resort. The fate of democracy itself rests upon the answer to the question whether the law can divide citizens into classes. What will the answer be? THE NEW HAMPTON MOVEMENT The papers state that one Dr. Charles F. Taylor of New York, one of the leaders in the "movement" who is now making speeches in Chicago, where the segregation question has reached an acute stage, has on several occasions asserted to white audiences: "The negro wants segregation as much as or more than the white man." This statement is not only false, but it is dangerous and unfriendly doctrine to be disseminated by the representative of an institution which claims to stand for "Christian" training and "uplift" and all that sort of stuff. The writer of one of the letters received by THE APPEAL, states that she visited the Hampton exhibit at the Hotel La Salle where she was informed by the charming lady who has charge of the exhibit, that "the DARKIES are making great progress." What does it mean? "DANGER FROM THE BEAR." One of the most versatile, logical and sensible writers of the present day is Herbert Kaufman. Recently he had something to say under the above caption that furnished food for much thought. Among other things, he said: "Every multi-millionaire leaves behind him some bad investments. It is impossible for everybody to be right in everything. Unusual fortunes are a matter of chance and judgment—of exercising judgment and taking chances. "Don't boast that you never made a mistake. If it's true, you probably didn't make anything else. Caution, like a brake, must be used with discretion. "It is wise to consider risks, the worst dangers are not always ahead. Pause too long at the crossing and something is likely to hit you from behind." FAILURE TO FIGHT COSTLY. FAILURE TO FIGHT COSTLY. That strong defender of true Americanism, the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a man of whom all Americans may well be proud printed an editorial in a recent issue which is so accurate an exposition of the costly blunder the colored people have made in failing to fight for their rights that we reproduce it. We trust that every reader will read it carefully and ponder over the truths expressed. "It has not been so very many years since the adoption of the war amendments to the Constitution and the beginning of a systematic effort on the part of our enemies to nullify the effect they were expected to have and its subsequent good. Since these efforts at restriction began, they have grown and multiplied rapidly and much of it has been due to our refusal to fight the issues raised with all our resources, before they became operative. In the South disfranchising constitutions have come, separate or "jim-crow" railroad and street cars, "peanut" galleries in theaters for our men and women, separate bars in saloons, "jim-crow" city parks, swimming pools, schools, "jim-crowism" in dental offices, churches, Y. M. C. A. etc. Indeed, there is apparently a desire for a segregation of the races in Heaven, if some of them ever get there. These things have all crept upon us since emancipation and the elevation to a citizenship supposed to be equal to that of all other Americans. We have lost ground, South and North, because we have not fought, and when we have resisted, have lacked leadership, while other supposed leaders have played into the hands of our enemies. As a race, we have been burlesqued, abused and humiliated by the thoughtless (some, members of the race), as well as by those hostile to our interests, simply because there was lacking proper resentment on our part and a determination to take a stand for our rights with all the power at our command. The world loves a MAN, a fighter! on who thinks as much of himself as any other like creature on earth. To such aggressive MEN, unjust restrictions will in the end yield and break down, because they will ever refuse to recognize them. In cases of luxuries of life such MEN will not accept the limitations though they greatly desire them and have the price demanded. In the case of necessities, they will fight restrictions and limit, as far as is within their power, the demand for them. A MAN CAN BE FREE IN A FREE COUNTRY ONLY WHEN HE RETAINS THE RESPECT OF HIS FELLOW CITIZENS TO THE EXTENT HE RECEIVES THE SAME TREATMENT FROM THEM THEY EXPECT FROM HIM!" WOULDN'T THIS JAR YOU?" An Oklahomaan has been devoting his spare time to a study of prices in the long ago, and has rediscovered the fact that during the reign of Henry IV of England, a goose cost 7 cents, not a pound, but the whole bird; eggs were 10 cents a hundred! sixteen pounds of butter could be had for 25 cents; wine was 5 cents a quart, and a whole carcass of beef could be obtained for $7.50. How the imagination is stirred by those figures until one reads that skilled carpenters were paid 12 cents a day and less skilled workers in proportion. The Oklahomaan is much puzzled by it all, but at least he sees clearly when stating that the only hope is in increased production. We are having quite a seance with the H. C. L., but thank goodness wages are now a trifle higher than they were in the reign of Henry IV. LET AGITATION GO ON, SAYS REV. F. J. GRIMKE. Commends Protest by Guardian and Planet—Race Will Protest Till White America Accords the Rights Which Boast the American Citizen—Steady Decline the Rights Under B. T. Washington Policy. (From the Boston Guardian.) Washington, D. C, May 1, 1917. Dear Mr. Trotter: I have just read in the last issue of the Guardian your editorial, including the editorial of Mr. John Mitchell of the Planet, in which Mr. Mitchell just and timely rebuke Dr. Frisell for some things which he says in the last issue of the Southern Workman. Rights Declined Under Washington. It is amazing that at this late day, an attorney from TEADY DECLINE OF OUR RIGHTS MUST DR. WASHINGTON'S POLICY OF "tentious service." that Dr. Frissell should be attempting to revive that pernicious, un-American, unmany, heresy of quiet submission to wrongs. That God directed his prophet to do what he loved, spare not, lift up thy voice like a bird, accord to unto my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sinai. And that is what we have been doing, and will continue to do, until White America heeds the message, turns from its colored accords to the colored man the rights which justly belongs to him as much as to any other American citizen. Let Frissell Understand Once and for All. All Time. Dr. Frissell had just as well understand now, once for all, that the policy for which he stands, as regards our rights, will never be accepted by the colored man. And the inculcation of such a policy comes with very little benefit to men who never think of following it when their own rights are involved. Think Colored Unlike Whites. It is because, after all they think that it is different, and therefore that it is bright FOR HIM TO QUIETLY SUBMIT TO WHAT WHITE MEN NOT BE EXPECTED TO SUBMIT TO WOULD NOT SUBMIT TO WITHOUT THE MOST VIGOROUS PROTEST? Put Themselves In Our Place. If some of our white friends would put themselves in the place of the colored man, and realize that there is no essential difference between the colored man and the white they would be saved from some of the 5kish things they recommend at times. Let the Agitation Go On. Let the Planet, let the guardian, let all the colored newspapers, continue to speak out, and every other legitimacy of THE AGITATION GO ON. It is in vain for Dr. Frissell, or any one else to try to stop it. Yours for equality of rights for all citizens, regardless of race or condition. He Is A Real Man Editor W. P. Dabney, of the Cincinnati Union, is busy day and night these days fighting segregation and all other forms of discrimination in the Queen City. This is noble in him, too, and especially so when it is an official position. Mr. Dabney is in an official position. Most of that sort are generally as mum as you are, but it is not so in the case of Mr. Dabney. He is a man. J. APPEAL'S EDITORIALS HAVE "POISE, LOGIC AND COURAGE." Hon. Richard T. Greener, Late U. S.

Last Sunday was "Mothers' Day" and it was generally observed all over the country. The morning service at St. James A. M. E. Church was quite noteworthy. In the three places there were very beautiful floral decorations; then there was a large and inspiring congregation. The choir was in excellent form and the music was splendid. Rev. J. M. Henderson, the eloquent pastor, took for his theme, "The Way, the Truth and the Life," and he worked in a lot of good things about mother. He was assisted in the service by one of the city mission workers and Capt. J. W. Brundrant. Mr. Earl Blevin rendered a delightful violin solo and Robert Blackwell of the Hampton Student sang a solo, "Jesus Lover of My Soul." He was involved in the presentation of red or white carnations to each one that entered the church by the "Lean On Us" club, composed of members of the "Margaret Adams Sunday school class," who were lined up on each side of the aisle. Rev. Henderson made a stirring appeal for persons to make "Mothers Day, memorable by joining the church and the following named persons respond to his call: Mrs. Sarah McGann Smith, Mrs. W. B. Elliott, Marmara Smith, Miss Dorothy Lee, Murel Luna, Miss Harris, Lucia Taylor, Blanch King; Messrs. J. W. Williams, Kelly Turner, Ricardo Chatson; Horace Plicket. MINNESOTA IN THE LEAD. In the Matter of National Defense Food Production, Farm Organization of the state for all purposes in connection with National Defense, Food Production, Farm Labor and the like is being prosecuted vigorously. Many counties have already started or perfected an organization which conforms very closely to the lines that have been indicated by the Public Safety Commission of Minnesota and by the National Council, so there will be little work in completing the co-ordination of state activity. Members of the State Commission returning from Washington report that no state is further advanced than Minnesota and that, in many respects the North Star leads them all. C. H. March of Litchfield, to whom had been assigned the chairmanship of agricultural activities, was elected Vice Chairman of the Commission. This emphasizes the importance placed by all the memorial Commission upon the agricultural environment and it appears to give great satisfaction throughout the state. It is taken by many communities to show that co-operation of all communities is properly appreciated. Provision is being made for registration of men eligible for military service. It should be thoroughly understood that selective conscription means not only selection for military service, but also selection for industrial and agricultural service, equally important, and for a great number of the young men of Minnesota more vital to the welfare of the nation and humanity. URGES REMOVAL OF COLOR LINE. Memorial of Boston Branch of National Equal Rights League Presented to President Wilson by Representative Tinkham of Boston. Washington, May 3, 1917. Congressman George Holden Tinkham today called upon President Wilson at the White House and presented a memorial from the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, urging the immediate removal of all restrictions upon citizens of color who are seeking training as officers in the reserve corps, disclaiming any charges of disloyalty to the United States in its present conflict because of the denial of rights to a majority of them. The memorial in part requested that, in the presence of a common danger and common obligation due to "a war devastating Europe because of racial clanishness and racial hatred, that the United States and the people give up race proscription and persecution home, and that the door of the workschool, the school, the college, the civil service, the army, the military school and the naval school now and forever be open alike to every citizen of the republic without regard to race and without discrimination of color, and that the right to travel, to vote and to have court protection be free without barrier or denial." The memorial was signed by Emery T. Morris, Matthew A. N. Shaw, William T. Shaw, William Monroe Trotter, Theodore M. M. Maley, Wesley J. Furlong, Mrs. M. M. Simpson, R. McCauts Andrews, Mrs. E. Gibson, Mrs. Mary C. Hall, Mrs. J. G. Street, Mrs. L. C. Parrish, Allen W. Whaley, Rev. Montrose William Thornton, Rev. Johnson W. Hill, Curtis J. Wright and Ms. Emiline Sport. PHONE DALE 2005 ALBION W. HOLDEN PAINTER AND PAPERHANGEP 527 ST. ANTHONY AVENUE DETECTIVE J. C. BLACK Captures a Notorious Crook at the Risk of His Life. Detective J. C. Black on last Friday captured another dangerous criminal in the person of Henry Foster, alias Wm. Johnson, alliaa Harry Evans, alias Geo. H. Harding and how many other aliases the Lord only knows. Foster is one of the despicable crooks who go from one city to another and impose upon philanthropic or generous or business firms and by some smooth or business firms he succeeds in obtaining money which the bounty lies to be devoted to the benefit of some worthy institution for colored people. St. Paul has been worked to a frazzle by these unscrupulous soundrels and it is very gratifying to the good people of the city that at least one of this ilk has been caught "with the goods on him," and it is hoped that he will get the limit of the money. The arrest was made at the corner of Third and Wabasha streets and Foster pulled a gun and leveled it at the brave detective, who was work- THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN ing alone, his partner, Detective Mitchell, being at work on the other end of the job. Fortunately the gun missed fire and Black soon took it from the murderous villain, who was then taken to the lockup, charged with attempted murder, a dangerous weapon and also of obtaining poisonous pretenes. At the time of his arrest Foster attempted to destroy a memorandum book, but Black got possession of some of the leaves from which the names of $3 individuals or firms were taken showing they had given Foster from $5 to $50. Further investigation led to the belief that Foster had gotten nearly $2,000. Further arrest a number of his victims went to the jail and identified him and then he began to act as though he was crazy. Monday he was taken before the municipal court, but his case was continued. His actions caused the city physician to order him to be taken to the city hospital; and while en route he hurried to escape, and tried to escape, but was soon recaptured, taken to the hospital and put in chains, where he still remains.

EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEALK knows whether he or she has paid for it or not. EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEALK is expected to pay for it; and, it is a violation of honesty, honor and law not to do so. THIS ABOVE NETHER ONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Are you, reader, honest, honorable and lawabiding? Think about it. There is no law to compel any one to receive a newspaper who does not wish to do so, but there is a law that compels one to pay for a newspaper if it is received. There are many persons who receive THE APPEALK as regularly as it is issued, but who have failed to pay for it. Think about it. Don't stop at thinking about it, either, but kindly come or send to the one and pay what you honestly, honorably. There is not one single subscriber on our list who is ACTUALLY UNABLE to pay for the paper if the desire to do so is strong enough. There is no desire or intention to offend any one, but if this article is marked with a blue pencil it is to remind you that YOU owe for THE APPEAL. Please come or send to the office, Court Block, 24 E. 4th street, suite 301-302, third floor, and pay what you owe. Take elevator. Law of Subscription. Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscription expires, are considered as wishing to renew their subscription. Subscribers order a discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed, or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of month if they do not wish to continue making payments otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it and subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrears is made. 36th Annual and 12th Triennial Session of Supreme Council, Northern Jurisdiction; to be Held in Philadelphia, May 14.
