SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1918 Don't let your Liberty Bonds get away from you. Hold onto them, even if you may be tempted to dispose of them. In the first place, the government intended them for YOU. The Liberty loans were designed as people's loans. In order to finance the war the government must have the support of ALL the people. It was intended that you keep the bonds and not trade them or sell them. Promiscuous selling tends to depreciate their value, and that is what the German agents here would like to do. Not only is it your patriotic duty to retain these bonds, but in doing so you are laying up something for a rainy day. The Liberty loans and the Was Savings Stamp issues have done more to encourage thrift in America than anything ever before attempted. They have made bondholders out of thousands of people who never in their lives until now had made an investment. Crafty and unscrupulous individuals are using every means to entice these bonds out of the hands of their owners. One method is to offer in exchange for Liberty bonds stock certificates in fly-by-night companies, worth only the gold paper they are printed on, and represented as returning a much higher rate of interest than the government securities. Those who are not familiar with stock values should beaware of such offers. There are other methods, some savoring of the gold-brick variety; others just within the limits of the law. Liberty bonds are the safest investment in the world. If you MUST dispose of them, you would do well to consult your banker. OUR WAR INTENTIONS. "We intend what our forefathers, the founders of this Republic, intended. We in America believe our participation in this war to be the fruilage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties THE SECOND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE Minimum Consideration Only Washington, D. C., July, 1918. A second Declaration of Independence was enunciated and entered in the records of the U. S. Congress at the end of last week. This is the consensus of opinion among thoughtful Washingtonians who heard the petition to the Government read at the meetings of the National Colored Liberty Congress or who have read the document as printed in the Congressional Record of June 29th. Like the first Declaration, this one was the creation of a delegated assembly, a citizens' congress with a national membership. The Liberty Congress was composed of 115 delegates from 29 states and the District of Columbia, men and women, protesting injustice and tyranny, responding to a call. Like the first one, the Declaration represented the veto of unconformist sacrifices and natural feelings and yearnings of Americans for liberty and an equal of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. . . . "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable. "The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces which knew little of—forces which can never be crushed to earth again; for they have in their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph."—From the President's Mount Vernon Address. BONDS OF THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan are now being turned out by the thousands daily by the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The bonds are similar in form and design to those of the third loan, and space has been left on each bond for insertion of the exact terms of the bonds. It is believed that a sufficient number of the bonds will be ready to make possible immediate delivery of all bonds of the fourth loan as they are purchased. FRENCH WAR CROSS FOR EVERY MEMBER OF COLORED REGIMENT. (Editorial by Arthur Brisbane, Editor of the Hearst Newspapers.) of the Realist. Newspapers.) It will soon be time for another St. Gaudens to make a monument to another lot of colored troops of the United States. St. Gaudens made a magnificent statue of heroic young Shaw, the white man, leading his colored troops against slavery. Another American officer, also named Shaw, offers something to the sculptor, something rather hard to show in marble or bronze. The French war department declares that every member of a colored regiment is entitled to the war cross for courage shown in their first fighting under fire. The white officer, Lieut. Shaw, was looking after his guns, giving instructions, taking them to pieces and reassembling them again, under fire so heavy that if he had stood upright he would not have lived five minutes. He went from one gun to the other, rolling over and over on the ground, and comes out of it alive. When you see your colored fellow citizens, in or out of uniform, please remember that, no matter what you may think, the white Prussian across the line has a pretty high opinion of him. While the Census bill was under discussion in the House, Representative John G. Cooper of Ohio, sought the adoption of an amendment that would have taken from the Democrats some, at least, of the enormous amount of patronage they will exercise when that measure is put into effect. As it now reads all census supervisors are to be appointed by the Secretary of Commerce upon recommendation of the Director of the Census. Of course that means that practically all will be Democrats. Mr. Cooper would have given the Congressmen a voice in making recommendations for appointments in their own districts. Had his views prevailed Republican districts would have stood a chance of having their inhabitants recorded by Republican supervisors. But Mr. Cooper's amendment met with disfavor from the party in control and was defeated. From Auburn, N. Y., comes the report of the death of Edward Cornplanter at the Cattaraugus Indian GOD GIVE US MEN. 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 flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. THE CENSUS GRAB TOO MUCH FOR ED share in the Rights of Man. While the Revolutionary patriots met to initiate war, those race patriots met at the seat of Government when the country was in a mighty world war and without equivocation set forth the denials to their racial element of the rights of democracy to spread which was avowedly taking part in a world war. This National Colored Liberty Congress' key-note sounded by Maurice W. Spencer, local chairman, the first night, which echoed and reechoed in every speech and in the petition, that was that the U. S. A. was proclaiming world-democracy as its purpose in a world war, all race and color discrimination in federal departments, in public places in the city, in government schools, in public teachers under government control, in the federal officials should be abolished by congress, which should also make lynching a federal crime. Reservation. He was a direct descendent of the Iroquois Indian Chief Cornplanter for whom Congress established the Cornplanter Reservation. The report says that the deceased "although educated, believed in a restoration of pagan customs." Edward, who was certainly not a hyphenated American, must have been pondering over our trend toward Socialism during the past five years. The suggestion that Secretary Lansing run for Governor of New York on the Democratic ticket is one that constantly creeps out, but we do not look to see it adopted. Mr. Lansing is an estimable gentleman, but he is not exactly the stuff of which political heroes are made. ENCOURAGING. ISN'T IT? In the state-wide primary held in West Virginia, three colored men were nominated on the Republican ticket in as many counties for members of the House of Delegates, the lower branch of the legislature. The nominees were: J. V. Coleman, Kimberly, Fayette county; Harry J. Capehart, Keystone, McDowell county, and T. G. Nutter, Charleston, Kanawha county. Mr. Nutter is a lawyer and secretary-treasurer of a bank. The colored population in none of these counties is one-sixth of the whole, that of Kanawha being only about one-tenth. AMERICANS—THAT'S ALL For many years it has been the custom to treat colored people as aliens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing tenancy among the colored people to regard themselves as aliens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans; and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. COUNTRY CAN'T SWALLOW THIS. According to Senator McKellar, of Tennessee, 99 per cent of the credit for the production of ships and other munitions of war belongs to labor, which, he declares, has been more patriotic than any other class of citizens since the country entered the war. This sample of the Senator's acumen will cause the American public to look askance at any statement he may make in the future. Senator McCumber, of North Dakota, presented his argument for the prosecution some weeks ago, and if anyone desires to riddle McKellar's statement they should write to McCumber for a copy of his speech. It makes the average American gasp with indignation. McCumber quotes specific instances. One of the chief purposes of extending the draft to include the ages 18 to 45 was to meet situations such as McCumber described. This is a free country and if anyone does not like the prominence Col. Roosevelt has attained by his aggressive advocacy of preparedness and vigorous prosecution of the war, the country will be glad to welcome any number of competitors in the same line of activity. There is always room at the top. A GENTLE LIFE --- War Savings Stamps It isn't so much the amount of money you save as it is getting into the habit of saving a definite amount regularly. The best way to learn to save is not only to promise yourself that you will do it regularly but promise some one else, your wife, your parent, your husband, or your teacher, that you will not let a first of the month or first of the week go by without saving. The Habit of Thrift Will Help Win The War The United States Government needs money of 25 cents 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. When all the spaces have been filled, the Thrift Card may be exchanged for $5.00 War Savings Stamps at any post office or bank. You should start saving a certain amount regularly.

As you treasure your right to live in this nation of freedom, do not miss a single day on which you have determined to save.

(Official Bulletin, June 29, 1918.) The following is an extract from the resolutions adopted by the conference of colored newspaper editors held in Washington last week under the auspices of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information: We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press, which has a circulation of more than a million copies, principally among the colored people of America, and representa- tivities, wish to affirm, first of all, our unalterable belief that the defeat of the German Government and what it today does is of paramount importance to the welfare of the world in general and to our people in particular. We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the unattained record of Negro-Americans, to reaffirm our loyalty to our country and our readiness to make every sacrifice to win this war; however, as students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to keep these 12,000,000 people at the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic, and self-sacrificing participation in the war.

Dubois Mirepresents Race as he Compromises Says Singleton. (Special to the Pittsburgh Courier, by Walter J. Singleton.) In an editorial article dealing with the war, The Crisis for July contains the following advice to colored men. "Let us, while the war lasts, forget our special grievances and close our ranks shoulder to shoulder with our own white fellow citizens and the allied nations that are fighting for democracy." The learned Doctor Dubois has seldom packed more error into a single sentence: He says three things in this sentence: (1) forget our special grievances; (2) close our ranks, and (3) fight for democracy with our white fellow citizens and the allied nations. Raises a False Issue in Order to Compromise. Let us consider the last two things first. Our ranks are already closed; they have never been open; they are not open now; they will not be open in the future. So that the dear doctor's advice being predicated, as it is, on the assumption that our ranks are open, is baseless. The same is true as to our fighting for democracy. That is the one thing the colored man has always desired, prayed and fought for; he desires, prays and fights for it now, and will in future desire, pray and fight for it. Again the dear doctor is offering advice where it is not needed. How Are We to Forget Our Griev ances. Now as to forgetting our special grievances? How can we? The lyncher won't let us. The jim-crower won't let us. The man who practices racial proscription won't let us. With lynchings of colored people averaging higher than two a week, how are we to forget lynching? With the daily denials to hundreds of colored people of the comforts and conveniences of transportation, how can we forget that when a young colored woman, or man, he has been admitted to the civil service of the enment, and been certified and called, and is refused appointment when it is discovered that he or she is of the colored race, how can we forget racial proscription? The lyncher, the jim-crower and the racial proscriber keep these things alive, not we. No Other Citizens Having Special Grievances Are Asked by Leaders to Forget Them. Then besides no other group of citizens having special grievances are being advised by their leaders to forget them, but to the contrary every effort is being made to correct them now. This is true as to labor, as to woman's suffrage and as to rights of Irishmen Why an exception in the case of the colored man. In all charity and seriousness, we hope never again to see the pages of the Crisis defied with such stuff as this. To keep the ranks closed and to fight for democracy means to protest against mob violence, jim-crow cars and racial proscription. Where these things exist democracy is not triumphant. amount of money you save as habit of saving a definite best way to learn to save yourself that you will do it one one else, your wife, your teacher, that you will or first of the week go by.

Dubois Wrote "Minimum of Consideration" Resolutions—One of Dubois' Was So Compromising it Was Cut Out by Vote. (The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio.) At the great Afro-American Conference, held in Washington, D. C., a few weeks ago, the only change made in its splendid resolutions was a sentence along the line of the complained of part of the July Crisis editorial. When approached by the writer and asked if he had written it, Dr. DuBois, secretary of the committee on resolutions, laughingly admitted that he had done so. This we were loath to believe, and did not do so until he arose in the meeting and took to defend the objectionable sentence, in vain, for it was stricken out, and a proper one unanimously substituted. The incident started us to thinking (and investigating), but not until we learned that he had been appointed (since the conference) to a captaincy in the army intelligence department, and stationed in the army Department at Washington, D. C., did we understand his "reversal of form." More Compromising than Washington. We do not believe that Dr. Booker T. Washington in the hey-day of his "doctrine of surrender" preaching would have dared do such a thing. O DuBoise! Et tu Brute! There are a few honest and sincere colored men who use the term "negro" in describing themselves, but the majority who use the term are jimcrowists pure and simple. The time has come to eliminate such words as German, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian, etc. People in the United States ought to be satisfied to be known as Americans. That one word is big enough to include all persons born in this country. President Rev.

Mr. John Payne, formerly a resident of St. Paul, but who went west in 1908, was in the city a few days visiting his mother, Mrs. H. C. Walker, and brother Mr. Bert Payne, 258 St. Anthony avenue. Mr. Payne has the distinction of holding the position of chief clerk in the Quartermaster's Dept., at Vancouver (B. C.) Barracks. He has a force of 48 clerks under his direction. His position is equivalent to the rank of First Lieutenant. He is the only colored man of the 448 men stationed at the Barracks and is held in very high esteem by all his comrades. He took in the big boat excursion last Tuesday evening and left Wednesday for his post of duty, after paying for a year's subscription for THE APPEAL, which he will say be "just like a weekly letter from home." THE APPEAL advertised for several weeks as "The Next Big Thing," the joint Moonlight Boat Excursion of St. Paul Patriarchy, 114 and the Sixteenth Battalion Band, M. H. G. for last Tuesday night, and the result proved that there was no camouflage about the ad, it not only was a big thing, but the biggest excursion of the season. The splendid band led the splendid parade from the Old Capitol and gave a splendid concert before the boat left the wharf, and then played splendid dance music during the splendid trip, everybody was in a splendid humor and all had a splendid time. The people who are mainly entitled to the credit of the splendid affair are first, of course, the generous public then Patriarchy Committee, Franklin, Chairman C. A. Jackson, James R. Riley, James A.

It is usually the case that after publication has been made of some important matter that some things that should have been said have been left out. Such was the case with the account of the 25th wedding anniversary of Atty, and Mrs. W. T. Francis in the last issue, and as, "It is never too late to mend," this additional matter is given. Among the gifts should be mentioned a spray of cosmos and asters by Spencer the florist. A beautiful candelabra, Mesdames. C. E. James, Don Bonaparte and Harriet Williams. The presence of the great number of people and the gifts they insisted upon giving evidenced the esteem in which this couple is held in the community. None of our citizens have done more for the advancement or to secure proper recognition of colored people than Mr. and Mrs. Francis who have worked for their uplift ever since they were of age. The following are some of their activities: Attorney Francis is Chairman of the Financial and Trustee Board of Pilgrim Baptist church; Assistant Superintendent of the Sunday School; teacher of the Women's Excelsior Bible class; director Union Hall Association; received the Republican nomination for State Legislature; served on the Board of To Haiti; member of Baptist City Union; member of Ramsey County Public Safety Commission; member of Mayor's Advisory Board; member of Republican State Central Committee; Government Appeal Agent; Selective Service Regulations, and War Orator, etc. Mrs. Francis, is President of the Church Aid Society of Pilgrim Baptist church; Superintendent of Primary Department and teacher for 27 years; officer in Household of Ruth R553; officer of P.

This is the reason why tion of meat that every effort is being made to encourage. the raising of record crops this year and next year. This is the reason why such generous premiums are offered for good exhibits of corn at the Minnesota State Fair, September 2 to 7. America produces more than three-fourths of the world's crop of corn. Four-fifths of all the farmers in America grow corn. One-third of all the land in cultivation is in corn. In 1917 the corn crop amounted to over three billion bushels, and was valued at more than four billion dollars. Corn is not only good for live stock but for human beings too.

Pull on the traces not on the backing straps. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? No ple, cake or fancy pastry of any kind will be exhibited at the coming Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 2 to 7, this year. Since the Fair is a a "War Exposition," it is believed that frills in cooking must be discouraged everywhere, "Altogether too much sugar, lard and other ingredients needed elsewhere in winning the war are required for pie and cake," says Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws, Superintendent of the Woman's Work Department. "You won't catch the Fair encouraging things of that nature this year." A big bread exhibit is to be shown. Not a single loaf of bread made entirely from wheat flour, however, will to Pick Out Best g Ready for Show eating cornmeal mush, hominy, grits, breakfast flakes, canned corn, popcorn, and corn bread. Still, until the entrance of the United States in the Great War, corn did not constitute as much of the human diet as might be imagined. Corn Popular. Since it has become necessary to substitute corn for wheat, that shipments of wheat may be sent to Europe to feed the wheat-hungry people there, corn has become more popular than ever as a part of our diet. Until now only one bushel of every thirty bushels has been used for human food. The local corn show will emphasize the necessity of using none but the very best varieties and types of corn, that our output per acre may be increased tremendously.—Copyrighted. Defective Page be accepted. Only bread made either wholly or in part of wheat flour substitutes can be exhibited. The canning exhibit will be a big feature. Canned fruit and vegetables of all kinds will be shown. Demonstrators will explain how canning can be done scientifically in the home, so you can avoid so much waste in fruit and vegetables in seasons of plenty in the near years to come. It will be a wonderful exhibit. CLIFFORD A. SMITH. Our Tailor, Has Moved From University Ave, to No. 12 F. Ninth St. Stry Ave. to No. 12 E. Ninth St. Mr. Clifford A.

The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, not only by our associates in the war against the Teutonic powers but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them as a measure of the American people's support of the war. The Germans know full well the tremendous weight and significance of the popular support of the war, of the home backing up the Army in the field. As the loan succeeds our enemies will sorrow; as it falls short they will rejoice. Every dollar subscribed will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and depress the enemies of America. The loan will be a test of the loyalty and willingness of the people of the United States to make sacrifices compared with the willingness of our soldiers to do their part. There must be and will be no failure by the people to measure up to the courage and devotion of our men in Europe. Many of them have given up their lives; shall we at home withhold our money. Shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their very lives? MR. A. A. COLEMAN. The Noted Chef Has Acquired a New Cafe: Mr. A. A.

The horse, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry industry in Euro-Asia has been nearly wiped out by the inroads of war. And the lack of work horses and work cattle is preventing these countries from producing enough feed to raise more live stock, with which to raise more crops. The duty of America is plain--we must plug that gap by getting into the business more deeply ourselves, not after while but now. Our community can learn how to do this by visiting the live stock show at the Minnesota State Fair, September 2 to 7. ```markdown ``` CAROLYN E.

According to His Story He Had an Idea It Was a "Soft Drink" and His Disillusionment Was Complete. Leunt. Hector MacQuarrie, whose book, "Over Here," was recently published, had an experience with an American beverage that surprised him. While waiting for a midnight train in a Philadelphia hotel on a hot night he became thirsty and sought the cafe, where he told the waiter to bring him a large ice drink and suggested orangeade. The waiter mentioned mint julep. "The drink was unfamiliar," says the iletenant, "but it sounded good and American people make the most wonderful soft drinks in the world. The very word 'mint' suggested coolness, and the fragrant smell of the upper river at Cambridge on a summer's day came back to my mind as I sat behind a large column in the cafe. Hence, I said: 'Right O! Bring me a mint julep.' He did, curse him! With a large chicken sandwich, it arrived. The glass was all frosted, filled with musky ice, while a dainty little bunch of green ice, with its stems piercing the ice, floated on the top. I was more thirsty than hungry, and I was very hungry. "I drank the julep at once. It was delicous. For a soft drink the effect was decidedly interesting. My first sensation was a nice singing, advancing sound in my head. I felt myself to be drifting along a smooth stream with overhanging willows and masses of mint growing on the banks. I felt that delightful sensation that one feels when a tooth has been removed with the aid of gas and one is just returning to consciousness. "This pleasing feeling continued for a little while and then I could see the paneled walls of the room, and I heard what seemed a still, small voice talking in extremely bad French to the waiter who answered in what must have been good French. The voice using the bad French was very familiar and then I realized that it was my own. I promptly switched to English, but the voice was still far distant. Finally, full consciousness returned, also a realization of the situation. Then the voice in the distance said: 'Waiter, your d—— mint julep has gone to my head and I must catch a train in exactly half an hour.' The waiter's voice expressed sorrow and suggested much water and more sandwiches. I drank water and I ate sandwiches, and the vision of Mr. Pickwick in the wheelbarrow came upon me with full force. I was thankful that in spite of I could see my watch, but if the waiter had not been firm I should have missed my train. The water and the sandwiches were successful. A faint knowledge of Christian Science picked up from my chief in New York helped me, and in a perfectly stately manner I walked out of the hotel and along the road and caught my train. "I would advise all foreigners arriving in America," Lieutenant MacQuarrel concludes, "to avoid mint juleps. It was extremely pleasant, almost delightful, but a mint julep taken several hours after a meal when one drinks but little at any time, is extremely potent. I have been told since that just after a meal a mint julep is comparatively harmless, and that it is not a soft drink. Frankly, I will never touch one again as long as I live. There are too many possibilities in its icy depths." F. D.
