SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 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. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. Elsewhere on this page will be found an article from Boston in regard to the coming Race Congress which unquestionably is a needed movement and it is hoped that the people of the Twin Cities will get together and arrange to representatives to the same. There is very little time to work, so let's get at it NOW. Let us hear from our citizens in regard to the matter at once. WILL THE MOB RULE? The Loyalty League of America has been organized at Phoenix, Arizona. The avowed purpose as set forth in the constitution is to exterminate the I. W. W. The I. W. W. is seeking to exterminate the workers who do not bow to their mandates. The draft resisters in North Carolina and Oklahoma are resisting conscription by violence. In various parts of the country colored men are being murdered because they are willing to work. Is orderly government to give way to anarchy? Already enemy countries assert that the U. S. is ruled by mob violence. CRIME AGAINST CIVILIZATION. In the opinion of THE APPEAL, the strongest article denouncing the East Saint Louis massacre was an editorial published in the Christian Register of Boston, Mass. The Register is the leading Unitarian paper published in the United States and perhaps that accounts for the article. The Unitarian church is one of the few Christian denominations in America in which there is no color line. The orthodox Christian seets in America are so filled with prejudice that the ruthless massacre of helpless men, women and children fails to bring out a protest. The article from the Christian Reg- THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgme 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. ister, which follows, is not so long as some of the articles which have appeared in the daily papers, but it is evidently the most sincere which THE APPEAL has seen: The hideous outrage against law and humanity in East St. Louis, Ill., makes us turn again from the barbarities of war to the feroetics of peace, from crimes against civilization abroad to crimes against civilization at home. The testimony of eye witnesses shows that nothing is to be learned among white people of this city from the cruelties and brutalities of foreign conquest. No tribes of any name or time have ever outdone the white men and women who burned colored men, women and children the other day in this American city. Nothing more revolting was ever charged against Negroes was done by these Negro people. The organization of the manhood of the nation for the protection of human life and liberty on the seas and for the deliverance of democracy in the world will be needed at home after its task abroad is done. While our fellow-creatures in the United States are hunted and tortured as if they were wild beasts, government can scarcely be called democratic. So long as colored people are proscribed, discriminated against, segregated and despised, ill-will and antipathy will furnish fertilizers of hatred and murder. IT is so unusual for a Christian minister to preach against racial hatred that THE APPEAL is pleased to note that one minister has the courage of his convictions. In his sermon last Sunday, Rev. H. E. Peabody, pastor of the South Congressional Church, in Chicago, said that racial hatred within the United States is more dangerous than all Germans outside this country. Dr. Peabody likened the East St. Louis massacre to the "atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia." "The country's perils are not all on the sea and beyond," said Dr. Peabody. "Think of the moral earthquake and volcano that has burst in the midst of land, in our own state, since last we met. "Who would have believed that a massacre that reminds one of St. Bartholomew's night and of the atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia," could occur among our own fellow-citizens in East St. Louis? "But, beware! The peril is nearer than that. The mutterings of the volcano are felt in Chicago. The single explosion is not the most significant thing. The race prejudice, contempt and hatred, working—working beneath—these are the hell below—and they find some lodgment in all our hearts; God help us. "There is far more danger to the republic from race hatred within our borders than from all the Germans put together. "Christian citizens of Chicago, think this thing through. Try to make up your mind beforehand what you will do and say when the earthquake and the volcano shall be around you. Our country is in dire need of clear heads and stout hearts—Christian hearts, both within and without." 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 "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with evil Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is severe That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guild Not colored like his ow To enforce the wrong, My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be hearts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or s.—Charles Sumner. 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. s., 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 the wars, 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!" THE ONLY SOLUTION Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of con- "S FOULEST BLOT." s pained every day's report with which earth is filled. s obdurate heart. n: the natural bond red as the flax the touch of fire. ty of a skin wn: and having power for such a worthy cause as his lawful prev ditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." While we might not agree with Cardinal Gibbons in everything he says, we heartily agree with the following sentiments expressed by him in a sermon at Long Branch last Sunday: "Creed, nationality and distinction should be cast aside when opportunity arises to help a fellow man." Experts at Washington see the end of war within a year, so 'tis said, and it certainly is a consummation most devoutly to be wished for. WIDE-SPREAD INTEREST IN NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. Colored Americans "Brought to Their Feet" by Memphis, E. St. Louis, and Chester Outrages—Local Equal Rights Committees Being Formed. Boston, Mass., August 29, 1917—That the colored people of the country have "brought to their feet" by the Memphis lynching, East St. Louis massacre and Chester riots, is shown by the instant interest taken in the events of the lynching together" at New York by Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Equal Rights League. Already President Gunner has received word of the recent state states who will attend the 10th annual meeting of the league and 2nd Annual Race Congress under the League's auspices, which will be held three days, September 18, 19 and 20, 1917. In the second street, W. 136th street, New York City. Colored newspapers all over the country are announcing this National Colored Equal Rights Convention in their columns, and the editors are working with success for the formation of committees that are to send delegates. The "Call" has been given such wide publicity, the invitation being open to every organization as well as the Equal Rights League, the oressed in every country in the civilized world have met as a group and their mission is to stand hand, except we colored Americans, thoughtful citizens everywhere see that the race will be judged by the attendance at this National Race Congress. Every community that has not already formed a Citizens' Equal Rights Committee to send delegates is urged to attend the race, which to do so. The last Race Congress brought men and women of all factions and all organizations together and increased co-operation. It is ten times as critical now for the race as then. Beson Byron Gunner, of Hillurn, N. Y., and Curr Scopes, Wm. Monroe Trotter of 34 Cornhill, Boone are receiving many letters on the convention and will answer all inquiries. KEEP WHITES AND COLORED APART, IS ARMY ORDER.

"Adjutants general should call on local boards for a statement of the number of white and colored men contained on the lists already certified.

THRILLING AUTO RACES AT STATE FAIR T Two Days Will Be Turned Over to Dare-devil Demons of Dirt Track at State Fair—Prizes Amounting to $10,000 to Be Awarded. Two afternoons, Wednesday, Sept. 5, and Saturday, Sept. 8, will be devoted to thrilling automobile races at the Minnesota State Fair this year and lovers of the sensational sport look for the greatest racing ever seen on the big dirt track. Prizes amounting to $10,500 have been offered to the speed demons this year and many of the best known drivers in the country are expected to participate in the races. An effort was made at the state fair last year to hold a mid-week program of races, but the weather interfered with the plans and only the Saturday events were held. These, however, proved intensely interesting and the thousands who attended were given plenty of excitement and some rare sport. This year, it is hoped that the weather will not cause an alteration of plans. Although the complete program and list of drivers who are to take part have not been announced, race fans are assured of the best in the game, as the state fair management will make every effort to secure drivers who will lower the existing records if that is possible. MORE ROOM FOR AUTOS Additional Space in Provided for Automobile Show Fair—Great Mobile Show Extensive alterations have been made during the summer in the big show room for automobiles at the Minnesota State Fair and there is every indication that the 1917 automobile show, to be held during fair week, Sept. 3 to 8, will not only be one of the biggest and most attractive fea- tures of the fair, but that it will be the best the day ever put on there. For several years the automobile exhibitors have been somewhat crowded for room. The dis- succeding year has been more comprehensive and it has finally become necessary for the board of managers of the fair to provide additional space. The ground floor of the big grandstand building, in which the show has been held since that structure was erected, has also been used as headquarters for the Public Safety Department. It was found that by providing another location for the police station, has also been given to the automobile exhibitors. This has been done and the partition which separated the two departments has been torn down, the front of the big building has been remodeled and this has resulted in a vast improvement. According to Rud Stensvad, assistant superintendent of the automobile show, the demand for space this year has exceeded the fondest expectations of those in charge. All of last year's exhibitors are expected to again show and in addition there will be a number of new ones. Extensive plans have been made for decorations for the automobile show room and for blue being the colors adopted. With a big room appropriately dressed up for the occasion and the large number of attractive cars on exhibition the scene will be a brilliant one. Not only will auto enthusiasts be interested in the display of cars at the fair, however, 'for, as has been the case in recent years, many of them of the same breed will kill two birds with one stone, so to encourage tomobile speed program promises to be more attractive than ever this year. So successful have the state fair auto races proved during the past few years that the management has this year provided two days of racing instead of one. Both Wednesday and Saturday will be devoted to the speed demons who will strive to slash existing records. BIG MILK CONTEST Great Interest in Novel Feature at State Fair. Officials of the Minnesota Dairy and Food Department look for a most interesting milk contest to be held in the Dairy building at the Minnesota State Fair this year. M. J. Smisek, who will have charge of the food exhibit, of which the milk contest will be a part, is of the opinion that this year's contest will be better than in 16 MC FOR QU AND KITCHE QUAL KITCHEN E MC QUAID'S FOR QUALITY AND KITCHEN ECONOMY Defective Page WOMEN TO HAVE IMPORTANT PART WILL GIVE DEMONSTRATIONS in Canning Foods—Style Show to Be Big Feature at State Fair. Women of Minnesota will cut a bigger figure at the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 4 to 8, then they have for many years. In fact a large share of the work in connection with the important food conservation movement will be carried on by the women, both through demonstrations and lectures. Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws is at the head of the Department of Woman's Work and she and her assistants have gone throughout the summer making plans for the work to be undertaken at the fair. Under the department this year is included also the public welfare work, such as child welfare exhibits, home nursing and first aid demonstrations; the exhibits and demonstrations in food conservation and home economics; the patroltic and public safety work, as demonstrated by the Red Cross and the Lions Club, and the sewing demonstration and the stitching. One of the most important features of the entire department and one to which considerable attention has been devoted, is the home sewing demonstration, which is intended as a help to women who must make their own and their children's clothing. The demonstration will include planning, cutting and making of garments and emphasis will be laid on the most economical methods of construction and the beauty of simplicity in design. To Give Demonstrations. Because of the appeal made by President Wilson for the conservation of food as a means of winning the world war, much stress will be laid on this all-important work and there will be demonstrations of canning, drying and salting of vegetables, fruits and meats, which should prove of interest to women as women. Not only will food values be known, but the desirable substitutes for foods as are especially costly and scarce will also be explained. Practical and appetizing meals will be planned, emphasizing the balanced ration and economical use of foods. Because of the activity of women throughout the land in Red Cross work an unusually interesting exhibit is being planned. According to the original plan, this work was deemed so important that it was decided to give up the entire center of the woman's building to the Red Cross that the demonstrations and exhibits might be given the prominence they deserve. MACHINERY SHOW GROWS Exhibitors Flock to Show Their Wares at Minnesota State Fair. Both Curtis M. Johnson, superintendent of the machinery department, and Raymond A. Lee, assistant superintendent, have been working over time during the past month planning and completing arrangements for the machinery show, which for years has been one of the leading features of the Minnesota State Fair. Manufacturers have flooded the department with requests for space on "Machinery" "Hill" and also in the buildings and security to machinery exhibits and the acres devoted to these exhibits and the demonstration promise to be the busiest section of the grounds during the week of Sept. 3 to 8. One thing that leads those in charge of the machinery department to believe that records for the machinery show may be broken this year is that considerable interest is being taken by manufacturers in the food conservation movement and they realize that they can play an important part by supplying machinery which will assist in the production of more food. Old Headquarters at State Fair Have Been Moved. The Police Department at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds has been moved from the grandstand building, where it has been located for many years, to the basement of the School building. This location is much more central than more convenient. The state fair police will be in charge of Major Hart, of St. Paul, and it is expected that about 150 men will be employed.

She contemplates opening a first class boarding and rooming house, and has secured the property of Pioneer Lodge F. & A. M., 588 Rondo street, for that purpose. Her house will be named "Wilson Villa" and will be up-to-the-minute in every respect. The motion in the Habeas Corpus proceedings against Albert A. Harris, charged with the larceny of an automobile in Chicago, was heard before Judge Hanft Friday morning and denied and complaint filed against him for the armed attack. Attorney Francis says an appeal will be taken and the matter heard before the governor. Mr. Harris has the best evidence of his title to the car and his arrest is merely spite work. If it is necessary for him to return he will undoubtedly be acquitted upon trial at Chicago. The people composing the large audience that filled St. James A. M. E. church last Thursday evening, got more for their money than is usually the case in church entertainments. The occasion was the entertainment at the Church Improvement Club under the direction of Lyle Lings, in which was presented, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and other musical numbers by the best musical talent of the city. Also a splendid address by Mr. Ralph Watson of Minneapolis on "Wheat Flour and Bread" that was instructive as well as entertaining. The ensemble was splenic and the lovers of music had a veritable 'festival.' About thirty persons took part in the process that for good, solid enjoyment has seldom, if ever, been surpassed. And, to think you got it for ten cents. Mrs. Lyles is a wonder when she gets started. Citation on Petition to Admit To Probate STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Ramsey--ss. In Probate Court.

It was Kelly Miller who, when the President refused to receive the committee of gentlemen who sought to interview him on the East St. Louis riot, and were denied, wrote the President in behalf of the Negro and among other things said: "Mr. President, Negroes all over this nation are aroused as they have never been before. It is not the wild hystics of the hour, but a determined purpose that this country shall be made a safe place for American citizens to enjoy the pursuits of happiness." Everybody is invited to attend the lecture and no charge for admission will be made. Professor Miller is being brought to St. Paul by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Chyannis, Mgr DAY OF PRAYER FOR SCHOOLS TO HAVE OBSERVANCE HERE Local Clergy Co-operate In Movement Suggested by National Reform Association---All Denominations Urged to Active Interest In Nation Wide Observance in Churches and Homes Sept. 9. THE second Sabbath in September has for years been observed as a Day of Praiser for public and private schools. Among people In the fallabah in September has for years been observed as a Day of Prayer for public and private schools. Among people of all evangelical denominations the observance has become quite extensive, if not general. There are more than usual reasons this year why the day should be even more widely observed, and local ministers who have indorsed the idea and who will deliver appropriate sermons on that day urge the co-operation of all people in this unselfish Christian and patriotic effort to intensify and extend the observance. Prayers will be offered in thousands of churches and homes for the children and youth of America who are being fitted for usefulness and citizenship in the schools, for the teachers and for the work of the schools generally. Many ministers of all shades of belief, located in all corners of the country, will speak on some phase of the important relation between morality and education. America is justly proud of her school system. It has been called "the most American thing in America." This year the school is in danger as never before. It is especially urgent that the Americans of tomorrow shall have the prayers and thoughts of patriots. The educational system is being shaken by war. Teachers of higher and lower grades have responded to the call of the flag. Boys are at work on farms and in factories who should normally be in school. Demands are being made for a laxity in the enforcement of laws of compulsory education and a change in child labor laws during the war. Several states have already amended their laws to allow children to work during the progress of the war. England made this mistake. Thousands of English children were allowed to leave school who were only eleven and twelve years of age. England has awakened. We must not imitate it. Democracy cannot succeed without an educated electorate. Illiteracy is the enemy of republican government. The founders of America knew this and sought to offer every child an equal chance. But mere education is not enough. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, at the recent meeting of the National Educational association said: "The greatest deficiency in American education today is in the moral and religious elements. The great war has destroyed our faith in German secular education. Let us repent of Culture and teach sound spiritual life." The recognition of the present danger to our children from war conditions and of the need of moral training is leading to a wider observance and a broader understanding of the Day of Prayer for schools than at any time since it was first suggested, fifteen years ago; by Dr James S. Martin, superintendent of the National Reform Association, Pittsburgh, Pa. It is realized that the year's work cannot be better begun than by praying for the children and youth and considering their moral as well as their intellectual needs. Methods of adequately meeting these needs will be further considered by the leading educators of the world at the Third World's Christian Citizenship Conference which is to meet in Pittsburgh in July, 1918.

The Northwestern Telephone Co. For the information of those who may desire to know of the conditions facing the telephone industry at this time, the following statement is issued by the Northwestern Telephone Exchange Company. Since the very beginning of the war, the government's requests for telephone equipment have had precedence over private requirements and government telephone calls have had right-of-way over all private messages. At an expense—in the aggregate hundreds of thousands of dollars—comprehensive telephone systems have been provided for training camps, and lines of communication have been installed between military AMERICAN TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO. LOCAL LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE BELL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES headquarters, mobilization posts and commissary depots. Telephones and special lines have also been supplied for the troops at bridges, grain depots and other places being guarded. In addition to the government's use of our service, increased business activity incident to the war has placed further demands upon our telephone facilities. We have had over 30 per cent more long distance calls than we did before the war and the number of local calls, particularly in the larger cities, has greatly increased. The long distance telephone facilities out of the city of Washington have been more than doubled since the war began and in all the principal centers both the local and long distance equipment has been greatly increased in an endeavor to handle the heavy telephone burden caused by war activities. Nearly 3,000 skilled telephone engineers and maintenance men from the Bell system alone have been organized into signal corps battalions for service with the armies in the field. Many more of our men are with the national guard and in other branches of the country's military service. The situation confronting us has caused great difficulty in getting and installing equipment for the most urgent private needs. Our long distance facilities are loaded to their utmost capacity for local service in some localities is suffering on account of the conditions over which we have no control. As the war continues the government's requirements for trained telephone men and for service and equipment are increasing. The present business activity is also likely to be extended as the war goes on. In the interests of all, we hope that our patrons will ask for no additional equipment unless absolutely essential to the conduct of their business and that they will put every possible restraint on the unnecessary and extravagant use of our local and long distance service.

There are many delicate connections in the telephone. One of these may be jarred loose if the instrument is handled roughly. When you telephone hold the instrument in an upright position and handle it as carefully as you would your watch. When the other party does not hear you distinctly talk more slowly and clearly and directly into the transmitter, but DO NOT shake the instrument. HOME COOKING Tel. N. W. OPEN AIR ARCADIA W. S.
