NO 10 Th St. Paul Public Market has been so well received and so liberally patronized that in spite of all efforts to handle the trade without delay and without congestion, there are times when the crowds make delay and congestion unavoidable, detracting from your fullest pleasure of marketing. To relieve this condition it has become necessary, even at this early date, to either enlarge or expand, and consequently, a branch of the Public Market will be opened as soon as possible on Sixth street, near Robert, just east of Browning, King's, and just west of Alfred Krank's. This branch will be known as "The Sixth Street Market," and will extend to you the same low prices, the same excellent service, the same endless assortment, and the same pleasant satisfaction that is extended at the St. Paul Public Market. The Sixth Street Market will not be as large as the "Public," but it will be neat and nifty, clean and bright. Its construction is just begun and will require some time, but this early announcement is made to show that steps are being taken to make your marketing always comfortable at the St. Paul Public Market. In the meantime get the patriotic habit of saving and conservation at this big food emporium. COME TO MARKET—IT PAYS Wheatless Day Menu Stewed Apricots or Prunes. Buckwheat or Barley Griddle Cakes.

John Stuart Mill. --- SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1918. "NEGRO" ADVISER NOT WANTED. Pressure has been brought by "negroes" so the wires tell us, to have a "negro" adviser appointed to tell the Department of Labor what ought to be done along "negro" labor lines. Secretary Wilson has announced that a "negro" will not be selected as a permanent representative but prominent colored men will be consulted. Secretary Wilson has the right idea. No patriotic colored American wishes a jimcrow representative. It would be all right to appoint a colored man as an assistant secretary of labor but to appoint a "negro" adviser and confine him to jimcrow duties would be segregation in its worst form. "Negroes" who are asking for segregated places in the department of the government are doing the colored people a great wrong. Any man who would accept such an appointment, would necessarily be a jimcrow man and he would do his country great harm in bolstering up the color line. Give colored men representation in the government as Americans, not as "negroes." STILL THEY LYNCH THEM. During a divorce trial in Goldsboro, N. C., recently the fact was brought that John Borden, one of the witnesses had been married three times, had fifteen children by his first wife who presented him four boys at a birth three times; his second wife gave birth to three boys and one girl at one time and bore twelve in all. His third wife, who is still living, bore eight making thirty-five children in all of which he was the proud father, the youngest being only twenty-two months old. Twentyseven of his children are living and strangest thing of all, fourteen of his sons are now in the army of Uncle Sam. How many fathers, only 62 years of age, have such a record, or can boast of having furnished as many sons to help win the war? This evidence of patriotism and loyalty in this one family, ought to have some effect in stopping the barbarities perpetrated on men of their color that are not outdone by the Kaiser and his cohorts. WANTED, A SAMARITAN. Prone in the road he lay. Wounded and sore bestead: Priests, Levites past that way, And turned aside the head. They were not hardened men In human service slack: His need was great: but then His face, you see, was black. From the New York Independent. Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post company, and treasurer of the N. A. A. C. P., has been elected chairman of the American Union Against Militarism, which has been reorganized to oppose the adoption of universal military training in this country. Amos Pinchot has been made vice chairman and Crystal Eastman, who was secretary of the old organization, remains on the executive committee. Announcement of the reorganization has been made, together with the statement that the union will direct a fight against the universal military training bill now pending in congress. It was stated that the union is "not a typically pacifist organization, as it will not oppose the present war, but only legislation looking to military training after the war." BOSTON BARS BIRTH O NATION. Last week, through the sole activity of the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League and the fairmindedness of the mayor of Boston, Hon. Andrew J. Peters, the showing of the infamous pictures "The Birth of a Nation," which was advertised at a movie house was prohibited by the mayor. All honor to Hon. Andrew J. Peters. PEOPLES' PROTESTS PREVAIL. That it is not only proper and right to protest against wrong, but that it is the only way we can hope to secure redress, has been exemplified by the action of the committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in calling upon President Wilson and protesting against the lynching of McIlherron and presenting a petition signed by twelve thousand citizens of New York expressing the sentiments of twelve million more of the most loyal citizens of the United States, asking executive clemency for the five soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry under sentence of death for alleged participation in the Houston riot. The President professed ignorance of some of the matters presented and gave evidence of his disapproval. Subsequently he indefinitely suspended the sentence of the men, for which he has the thanks of the aforesaid twelve million of his loyal constituents. The protests of the Association to the Governor of Tennessee in the McIlherron case also brought a very satisfactory reply. It pays to protest. HELP TO WIN THE WAR. Governor Burnquist has issued a proclamation designating the week commencing Sunday, March 10, as War Club week and urges the people of the state, men women and children, to purchase War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps, to form War Savings Societies, to practice economy in their personal affairs and to do all in their power to affiliate with the National War Savings Committee. 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 THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test.

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. A strange condition seems to have arisen. What does it mean? Let us have light. INDIANS AS SOLDIERS. History gives the Indians a place as warriors. Therefore one is not surprised to learn that present day Indians are becoming good soldiers in the army of Uncle Sam. Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs, recently made a survey of the national cantonments in Texas, giving particular attention to the condition of the 1,500 Indians who are learning the art of war in these camps. "I addressed the Indians collectively at each cantonment and conferred with them individually, making definite inquiry concerning their treatment." Commissioner Sells said. "Everywhere I found them well contented, and nowhere either a disposition to complain or cause for complaining. "They are a splendid body of men physically, with a wonderful spirit of patriotism. "The officers in command universally complimented the Indians for their good behavior and highly commended them as soldiers. I was especially pleased that the Indians are not segregated, but that they are located without regard to the fact that they are Indians. I am strongly opposed to independent Indian units, large or small, and am firm in the opinion that they should enter the army upon the same basis as other citizens; that they should be mixed indiscriminately among the whites, elbow to elbow, so they may absorb the English language, habits and civilization of their white brothers. In once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on probeen raised against he and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of CONVERTING THE ESKIMO. Women's votes in New York city Christian missionaries seem to have elected four Democrats to Congress made little headway in converting the giving the control of the House back Eskimo in the far north, according to to the Democratic party. this way only can they advance. I want no discrimination either for or against them, but believe that they should be promoted on their merits and always advanced when they are deserving. "I visited the hospitals, made inquiry as to their management, called upon each sick Indian, inquired into matters of sanitation, water supply and health conditions generally. With the exception of the epidemic prevailing in Camp Bowie, the hospital enrollment was so small as to be very gratifying. This was notably true of the Indians. The difference is accounted for because the Indians come from a colder climate than most of the white soldiers. Only one Indian is numbered among the dead." Commissioner Sells is "especially pleased that the Indians are not segregated and he gives good reasons for his opposition to independent Indian units in the army. His arguments are logical and ought to apply to all other classes of Americans in the United States Army. There should be no segregated units of colored men who are willing to die for their country. 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 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 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 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." 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 necessary 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 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 us to remain with them. 'Why go back there?'—meaning civilization—happy.' THE APPEAL believes that the missionaries who are trying to "convert" the Eskimos are "piblocko", 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. At the last moment the house Democrats added an amendment to the administration rail bill providing that jimcrow cars and separate waiting rooms be continued in the South. The fact that the country is battling for democracy means nothing to Southern Democrats. Whenever they can deliver a body blow to democracy they do it. 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. The central department of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago has just celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary although it has little cause to crow over its unchristian doings. Its specialty has been jimcrow work done in the name of the Lord. Senator Ben Pitchfork Tillman says he will run again "to aid the United States in the war." Ben has done so many thing against his country it is well that he should at last be willing to aid it.

Refreshments were served and all left wishing many happy returns of the day. ROLAND HAYES. Our Leading Tenor, of Boston Favors St. Paul with a Few Hours' Visit. Mr. Roland Hayes, our most illustrious tenor, of Boston, who had been out West delighting thousands with singing staged in St. Paul from 11:00 P. M. Wednesday until 7:00 P. M. Thursday. The Sterling Club being informed of his coming arranged for the members of the club and a few friends to meet the distinguished artist at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Adams, 527 St. Anthony avenue on Wednesday evening. As Mr. Hayes did not reach the city until 11:00 P. M. several members of the club and others were deprived of the pleasure of meeting him. However those who were present to the number 'of about thirty had that pleasure. The W. C. Buckner Dixie Jubilee Concert company also arrived in the city Wednesday evening and an invitation was extended to its members to meet Mr. Hayes. Unfortunately, Mr. Hayes was very much worn out from his long journey and feeling he could not do justice to himself, under the circumbanks, important factors in developing the Great Northwest, and thus The Buckner company, comprising greatly stimulate the manufacturing Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Buckner, Miss and jobbing interests of St. Paul. Helen Smallwood, Miss Cleo May Dickenson, accompanist, Robt. L. Moore, John L. Harrison and Henry A.

Miss Albreta C. Bell, accompanied. Mrs. May Black-Mason and Mrs. Gladys Alexander-James sang several selections. Both of these ladies were highly complimented by Mr. Hayes for their extraordinary voices. As to Mr. Hayes, it was the unanimous verdict of those present that they had "never heard anyone to equal him."

Expenditures In Accordance With The Times DETECTIVE J. C. BLACK. Again Shows His Ability as a Sherlock Holmes. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago the safe of Howard & Maxwell's barber shop on Selby avenue was robbed by Hosey Davis, the porter. He took a valuable diamond and pearl ring and $85.00 in cash and escaped with his booty and his whereabouts was not known until the case was brought to the notice of Detective J. C. Black, of the Rondo Station, who happened to know something of the history of Davis and from whence he came. Black was detailed on the case and it was not long until he had located his man in Memphis, Tenn, and had him locked up by the local authorities. As soon as Davis was arrested he weakened, confessed, waived extradition and said he would return to St. Paul if Detective Black was sent for him. Last Saturday Officer Black left for Memphis via St. Louis. On his arrival in Memphis he was very cordially received by the chief of detectives and A. B. his men who took him as their especial guest and showed him every possible courtesy. He went out with them and assisted in making a very important arrest. Davis very readily agreed to accompany Officer Black and they returned by the way of Chicago arriving in St. Paul, Wednesday evening. Thursday Davis was arraigned in the Municipal court, waived examination, pleaded guilty and was remanded to the District court. Detective Black Learned that Davis had given the ring to his sweetheart, he called on her and had little trouble in inducing it to give it up and he brought it to the city and returned it. Do Howard, in court Thursday morning, Davis, realizing the predicament he is in, desires to escape the penalty by volunteering in the United States army, and declares if he can do so he will gladly refund the money. Whether he will be permitted to enlist remains to be seen. But just the same another big feather has been added to the cap of Detective Black. PAID ADVERTISEMENT Prepared by J. Q. Adams, 24 E.

The United States Government needs money to equip our armies and to fight for democracy. Your Government—the richest in the world—is willing to pay interest for your money now. Uncle Sam offers you $5.00 War Savings Stamps for $4.13 in February, and one cent additional each month thereafter. A Thrift Card is furnished to all purchasers of 25 cents Thrift Stamps.

At a War Savings Rally in New York recently, Ehlui Root delivered an address. What he said there is just as applicable here, and this is what he said in part: "You can begin saving by the dollar, or you can begin saving by the quarter. You can see how this works. You kill four birds with one stone, which is an example of markmanship that I would like to see applied all along the German trenches. The first and perhaps the most important is this, that you save by not using, and what you don't use is left for the Government to use for our men. Every yard of cloth less than you use you apparel is a yard of cloth more to put into uniforms and blankets. Every pair of soehs less than you wear, is a pair of shoes for one of our men to stand in the trenches with. And it is most amazing the way in which a vast number of small contributors mount up. "The second bird is that you turn your 25c, your $41.20, over to the Government, and the Government has the money to use in winning the war, has it until after the war is all over. It has the money to buy steel, to make powder, to make rifles, to make shoes, to make steamships, to do all the vast multitude of things necessary to be done to win this war. The third bird is that when the war is over, peace has come again, the production of wealth has recommenced, we are in prosperous again, victorious and prosperous America, sailing the sea with our commerce unhindered by arrogant attempts, favority to prevail, then the Government will pay to you the money that you have thrown away in the meantime, and you will have it. "The fourth bird is that you will be better people. You have laid the foundation for the restoration of a virtue that should obtain in all democracies in all republics. You will have wiped off from the great surface of our National Record the reproach of being wasteful, extravagant, money-loving luxury-loving people and you will make yourselves, by that exercise of the virtue of thrift, and you will make your children, more like those great and noble men who founded our republic and through their privations and sacri fices gave us the liberty and the justice that we have." Therefore let every loyal citizen in the state of Minnesota determine to slay as many "birds" as possible. The more stamps you buy, the quicker comes the end. KEEP UP HOME EFFICIENCY The Nation is being put to a supreme test. 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.
