SATURDAY SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1918. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The following appeal is appearing in the daily press: To the Editor: May I be permitted to appeal in this personal way to your readers for a war need very pressing and very deserving of patriotic attention, and yet easily overlooked. The newly-organized Circle for Negro War Relief is trying to provide for enlisted and drafted men the same comfort and cheer that numerous societies are giving the white troops; also to care for the many cases of distress in Negro families where the wage earner is serving the country. One-tenth of our troops are colored men. Surely a movement to organize them and work toward a great common end will make the Negroes better citizens (just as all other war work is making better citizens) and will have results reaching far beyond the present crisis. The Circle for Negro War Relief is approved by, and is working with the National Red Cross. It aims to do a needed work that might have to be left partially undone in the present enormous demands on our national Red Cross. Our office (donated by a friend) is at 489 Fifth avenue, New York. We need funds at once. Every penny will go to actual relief work. Our colored troops have been brave, loyal fighters from the days of the Civil war to San Juan hill. Whatever one's view of race problems, there can be no two opinions of helping thousands of colored men and women to be more efficient soldiers and citizens and so help win the war. EMILIE BIGELOW HAPGOOD. It is possible that the American Red Cross has become so UNAMERICAN that it has drawn the color line and made the formation of a separate organization for colored soldiers necessary? What does the RED CROSS stand for? Thousands of colored Americans are members of the National Red Cross having donated their dollars during the drive for membership last year. They asked no questions about the way the money was to be used but supposed it was for the benefit of ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERS. --- --- ```markdown ``` J. Q. ADAMS, Manager A. B. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. "The Great Emancipator," the Anniversary of Whose Birthday Will Be Celebrated Next Tuesday. D. R. H. "The Old Man Eloquent," the Anniversary of Whose Birthday Will Be Celebrated, Next Thursday. A strange condition seems to have arisen. What does it mean? Let us have light. ACT JUSTLY THO' THE HEAVENS FALL. The Republican National Committee will meet in the city of St. Louis on Tuesday of next week to organize and to confer on matters pertaining to the national election in 1920. The 12,000,000 colored people in this country, including those "over there," being generally included toward the party of Lincoln and Sumner and Phillips will be very much interested in its deliberations, primarily because they are Republicans and wish that wisdom and harmony may prevail; and, secondarily, because they wish to see justice done to Hon. Perry Howard, of Mississippi, the only colored member, whose election to membership of the committee is being contested by the illly white Republicans (?) and a few renegade colored politicians of the state. The fact that the meeting will be held on the anniversary of the birthday of the martyr who made the Republican party possible, ought to have some influence over their actions in that matter and cause them to act justly and fairly though the heavens fall. WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES: The new war savings certificates will bear 4 per cent interest, will run for a term of five years and will be issued in denominations as low as $5. They are to be just what their names indicate, "savings" certificates, a means of investment for small savings, so that the money will be safe and profitable and at the same time affording the government the use of it. It is planned to sell the certificates to the public on the installment plan by using stamps that may be purchased and pasted in a book for that purpose. When there are sufficient stamps to cover the cost of a certificate the book can be exchanged for one. The stamps will be placed on sale in every town and city in the country. The individual who has money laid by for a rainy day need have no hesitation in converting it into war savings certificates, since the government will redeem them at any time upon the request of the holder, allowing interest at 4 per cent. Under this arrangement the investor in these certificates will have the satisfaction of knowing that if any emergency should arise in his family, such as sickness or death, he could immediately realize upon his certificates. It is a safe prediction that the war savings certificates will go like "hot cakes." Their small denomination, the good interest rate, the terms upon which they may be purchased, the fact that they are not subject to taxation when held by persons of small means—all will make them an attractive investment. Working people whose margin of income above expenses is narrow at best will find in them an excellent incentive for beginning the prudent habit of saving. They will be popular for Christmas presents. School children will be able to invest part of their little weekly allowances in certificates. As a result many millions will be transferred to the Federal Treasury and through it will flow into the channels of trade, while the people of small means will be made to feel that they, too, are doing their share toward helping their country win the war. 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 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 conditions 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 combine tion 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." CONVERTING THE ESKIMO Christian missionaries seem to have made little headway in converting the Eskimo in the far north, according to Donald B. MacMillan, head of the Crockerland expedition, who has recently returned to New York, after four years in the Arctic. Mr. McMillan was in daily contact with the Eskimos. He finds them lovable and easily managed. The members of the expedition trusted, implicitly the little colony of six families at Eta, base of the expedition, on the northeast shore of Greenland, and never suffered a loss by theft. Yet the same understanding of the Eskimo character has made Mr. McMillan skeptical as to the power of missionary work to better their social standards. "I don't believe the missionaries will be able to change-the social customs of the Eskimos very greatly. They are a happy, care-free, jovial people. They are continually laughing. If they see a man in serious thought for more than a few minutes at a time they think something is wrong with him. And, really, they have all the necesary sary virtues right now. They love each other, they care for each other's welfare, and they protect each other. If one is hungry all are hungry. They have a perfect socialism. "And they are absolutely honest. Our supplies at Eta lay on the ground in plain view of every one in the settlement for four years, and no one ever touched them without permission. In New York after dark they wouldn't remain four minutes before being stolen. "Piblocko" is the word that expresses what the Eskimos think of the world at war, Mr. MacMillan said. It means "run amuck; gone clean crazy." The Eskimos believe that all the white man nations have gone "piblocko." "I tried to explain," Mr. MacMillan said, "that the war started because but they wouldn't believe it; they only shook their heads and said; 'No; that's impossible. There is plenty of land for everybody.' When we were getting ready to leave Eta they begged to remain with them. 'Why go back there?'—meaning civilization—they asked us, 'where everyone is piblocko? Stay here with us and be happy.'" THE APPEAL believes that the missionaries who are trying to "convert" the Eskimos are "piblockto," especially those from the United States, who are trying to impose the American brand of jimcrow Christianity on them. If they have all of the necessary virtues right now, why waste time and money teaching them the murderous Christianity of America? INCREASED PENSIONS PROPOSED INCREASED PENSIONS PROPOSED. Substantial increases in existing rates of pension for disablement of the limbs from injuries received in line of duty, are contained in a bill introduced by Representative George P. Darrow of Pennsylvania, which will come up for action by the House at the next session of congress. Mr. Darrow's proposed rates run from $65 for the loss of total disability of one hand or one foot, to $150 for the loss or total disability of both arms and both legs. They amount roughly to an increase of about 50 per cent in the existing rates for similar cases. The bill is made to apply to persons already on the pension rolls, and to all who may be granted a pension hereafter, but Mr. Darrow specifically provides that the measure shall not operate to reduce any pension heretofore granted. The passage of this measure will be heartily approved of by the people. CAN'T BEAT NELSON The President's counsel to Minnesota Democrats to join with the Republicans in re-electing Senator Knute Nelson is a virtue born of necessity. The Senator had expressed a desire to retire to private life. No Democrat stands a ghost of a show to succeed him. If he runs again and is elected by both parties, the Democrats have lost nothing. A real display of non-partisanship by Democrats would be to abstain from contests in States which are normally Republican, but where there now happen to be Democratic Senators by reason of the divided Republican strength in 1912, which enabled Democrats to slip into office. When Mr. Wilson counsels the Democrats of his own State of New Jersey to make no contest for Senator next time, he will have given convincing evidence of his real desire for non-partisanship in the elections during the war. HIGHER PENSIONS. Representative Charles E. Fuller of Illinois has prepared a bill that will bring happiness to all surviving veterans of the Civil War. It provides that every person who served ninety days or more in the military or naval service shall receive a pension of $50 per month if receiving less than that sum at the present time. Another measure introduced by Mr. Fuller proposes to increase the pension of Army nurses to $25 per month. Both bills have been referred to the Committee on Invalid Pensions, of which Mr. Fuller is a leading member, and he intends to use his best efforts to get them favorably reported at as early a date as possible. February, although the shortest month in the year, has included in it some notable events, namely, the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and George Washington, the anniversaries of which will be more or less celebrated in different parts of the country. Then this is the month in which the darned ground hog determines whether or not we are to have six weeks more of the miserable weather that the weather man has been furnishing lately. Tomorrow is Sun-day but we hope that despicable little varmint will not leave his hole until a friendly cloud obstructs old Sol's rays and prevents him from seeing his shadow. That, necessity is the mother of invention, is being demonstrated daily during the war. The people are doing things they did not even dream of doing four years ago and doing without many things they deemed actually necessary to their existence. They are learning conservation, thrift and Hooverizing and when the war shall have ended, a consummation to be devoutly wished for, they will know more than ever before how to make both ends meet. This war has been, is, and will be, a great educator. The A. M. E. Ministers of Washington, D. C., have sent the President a petition asking clemency for the five other colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry, recently sentenced to death for participation in the Houston, Texas, mutiny. In their petition the ministers say that there are extinguish circumstances which they believe should merit executive clemency. We hope the President will see it that way. What a day that will be when the tidings are flashed over the sea and land that peace has been declared! From ten thousand times ten thousand steeples bells will ring out, as if they were human things, their wild delight at the long-hoped-for event. Never, in the history of the world will there have been such a day of universal joy.—Our Dumb Animals. In Middletown, Conn., a Congregational. a Baptist, and a Methodist church have voted to unite and worship for three months to save coal. The example set by these churches could be followed by the churches in many large cities. Heaven grant that 1918 may forever be memorable as the last year of this unspeakable war—Our Dumb Animals.

McQuaid, head of the McQuaid Market House at Eighth and Cedar streets. It is something distinctly new in the west, and is the largest and best equipped market house in the country, except one, Mr. McQuaid declares. This is one of the successful houses of New England, and the one from which the local merchants copied his St. Paul market house. Groceries and food products will be retailed on the no delivery, no telephone orders and cash plan. The basement is devoted to cold and open storage. The new building provides 11,000 square feet of merchandising space. The meat market is located in the center. The McQuaid market house at Eighth and Cedar will be continued as in the past.

It requires the best of every man and woman in America. Efficient citizens are made by efficient homes. It is a patriotic duty, therefore, at this time, to keep the home and the home life up to the highest point of efficiency. No home can do its best without a piano. You need it for the education of the children. You need it for the family life, to keep up good cheer, to make home really home. You need it that you may sing the nation's songs, thereby to keep burning the fires of patriotism. Can you imagine a patriotic people without the inspiration of patriotic music? Be sure to have music in your home, for your family's sake and for the sake of your country. We sell standard pianos on terms of from $5 to $10 a month. We rent pianos for $3.50 a month.
