THREE MILLION MEN — half of them in France—many more in training. yours, all of you who are left behind, as much or even more than it is the man's in the trench. But is this all their fight? For that man, though three million strong, cannot raise a hand in the cause of democracy, he cannot even raise a hand in self-defense, except for you. It takes ten men at work to keep one fighting man at the front. He is potent only as you are potent. He can fight only as you will fight. The difference is only this: his fight is expressed in nerve and ammunition, yours in work and dollars. It takes millions of dollars just to keep this army fed. It costs thousands of dollars every time one battery of big guns lays down a barrage. Is it any wonder then, that the United States is spending at the rate of fifty millions of dollars a day in war and war plans? And with that grand total as the interest on a far vaster principal, which must support this colossal cost or all this task will have been in vain, whose fight do you think this is? The Fourth Liberty Loan is the world's biggest drive back of the lines. It is the test of the financial reserves of this entire country of ours. It will gauge the power that you intend to put back of the fighting men in France for the next half year or more to come. In fact it will show the value you place on the heritage of liberty, which three million men have taken up arms to defend for you to-day. The man's in the trench? The fellow's on the supply-train? The chap's on the gunner's deck? No, it is yours! Take care when you sign that subscription blank for Liberty Bonds that the amount you set squares as nearly as it can with all your heart acknowledges this heritage to be worth to you. It is your fight, Mr. Banker—yours, Mr. Manufacturer—yours, Mr. Merchant—yours, Mr. Mechanic—yours, Mr. Worker—yours, Mr. Farmer. This fight is BUY UNITED STATES OF THE FOURTH Written by L. R.

"We intend what our forefathers, the founders of this Republic, intended. We in America believe our participation in this war to be the fruitage 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 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 they know 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. HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS. 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 ex- T OMEET AT CHICAGO NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE INVITES COLORED RACE TO ASSEMBLE IN CHICAGO SEPT. 17-19 TO GET RACE ORGANIZED TO PUSH CLAIMS FOR POSSESSION OF FULL AND EQUAL DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS—AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY. By the authority vested in me as President of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the Eleventh Annual Convention of said League to convene on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, of Sept. 17th, 18th and 19th, in the city of Chicago, Ill. Fellow Comrades of the National Equal Rights League, and others, I cannot even begin to express how urgently important it is that our people in all sections of the country, should give prompt and earnest heed to this call. By means of the great world-war alliances and races are being tried, as it wore, by fire; their real worth and stamina are being severely tested, and none more so than that of colored Americans; and we must not allow ourselves to be found wanting. A double burden rests upon our shoulders while this war lasts; we must continue to perform all the duties of citizenship, freely sacrificing our time, our money and our blood for our country; and, at the same time, we must double, rather than diminish, our exertions in our own behalf, unceasingly pressing to the front our own claims and demands for an equal share in the possession and enjoyment of all those rights for which we are fighting. Our very freedom and life, and that of our unborn generations, depend upon our keeping up this double fight. The Double Duty. They are half cowards, who, while fighting for their country, will not, at the same time, demand an equal chance and a square deal. And they who seek and demand their rights while unwilling to shoulder their full share in the nation's and the change 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 beware 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. ONLY HALF ADJOURNED. The Lewisburg (Pa.) Saturday News very pertinently remarks that the announcement that "politics is adjourned" has not been accompanied by the appointment of a Republican to a place in the cabinet, nor the appointment of Republicans to fill any of the offices of customs collector, etc. No, and the administration has not made full use of the abilities of such men as Roosevelt and Wood. Nor has it acknowledged its obligations to the late Augustus P. Gardner, one of the pioneers of preparedness. Perhaps politics is only half adjourned. FRANKLIN AN OLD FOGEY. Postmaster General Burleson is quoted as saying that it would be a good thing for the country if half of the newspapers went out of business. The views of the P. M. G. in 1918 are somewhat different from those entertained by the first head of the Postal Service, one Benjamin Franklin. "Lemon pie officers" is the latest nickname for the "swivel-chair corps." "Yellow all the way through and not enough crust to go 'over the top.'" CAN'T BE TRUSTED. "American wearing apparel is gaining steadily in Argentina as the result of the failing European supplies," declares the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. "This is especially true of hosiery, which before the war came almost entirely from Germany." How freely they now confess the real reason for our great expansion in sales to Latin America, and how utterly they denied it a few weeks before the 1916 election. Those were the days when the Democratic National Committee said our war export trade was due to Democratic policies, and that the sale of war goods accounted for but 5 per cent of the total. A party that lied like that in 1916 is pretty apt to lie again in the Congressional campaign of 1918. ALABAMA STANDS PAT. The renomination of Congressman Huddleston, of Alabama, after the President had asked for his defeat 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 Double Duty. world's struggle for freedom, will meet their deserved defeat. Every considerable race on earth is involved in this world-war, and the future of twelve million colored Americans, with that of other groups of peoples, is to be determined in its issue. Besides our standing grievances there are new and perplexing racial relations and conditions evolving out of this war that call loudly for our most earnest and immediate attention. These new war-created conditions are of such vital significance as should speedily bring together our entire race leadership. This war has result in permanent benefit to us only in proportion as we, as a race, through own appointed leadership, and with organization nation-wide, exert ourselves earnestly, promptly and wisely in our own behalf. Let every community join this Colored Liberty Organization Drive. Let us as a race get ready to enforce our claim to World Democracy as an issue of this world war. Therefore, let us get together for organization as a race to enforce our claims to world democracy. Every church, civic, educational, fraternal, political and business organizations among our people, without regard to sect, sex or party, are invited to be represented in the Chicago convention by one, two or several delegates to deliberate on the organizing of our race for self-defense. An especial appeal is made for the quick formation of equal rights and democracy leagues or committees for the purpose of sending delegates to this national convention for race organization for liberty. Yours for Equal Rights, BYRON GUNNER, Pres. Nat'l Equal Rights League. need not be taken as an endorsement of what Huddleston stands for. It it more likely a rebuke to the President for trying to control an election. This is still a republican form of government, with three separate and distinct branches, the most important of which is the legislative. The people recognize this, and they will tolerate no executive dictation in election of Senators and Representatives. To establish the precedent of defeating a man because he meets the displeasure of the President would be to make subservient tools of a considerable number of members of Congress. This, of course, the people of the country do not want done. They want men, not rubber stamps, in Congress. Huddleston voted wrong a good many times, but it is no worse to be wrong than to be a mere nonentity, a puppet, an echo, a rubber stamp, a messenger, or any other kind of a lackey for somebody else. 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. A KENTUCKY GUNMAN. The Kentucky Democrat who is Chairman of the District of Columbia Committee in the House holds the record for bringing into the House freak legislation that he has prepared on the spur of the moment to meet some fancied need. Just now he is advocating the passage of a bill making imprisonment for one year the penalty for carrying a concealed weapon in the city of Washington, five years for a second offense, and life imprisonment for a third offense. Representative Edward H. Wason of New Hampshire took issue with the Kentuckian that his penalties were entirely out of proportion to the gravity of the offense, and contended that the present statute coupled with the proper granting of licenses by the chief of police, was sufficient to control the evil. It is openly hinted that the THE CENSUS GRAB. 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 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. 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. Outline your program. Start at once by going to your post office and getting your first War Savings Stamp or Thrift Card. And stick to it. 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. Buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps (25 cents) at any bank or post office. gentleman from the Blue Grass State has been guilty more than once of the offense against which he now wants to legislate, and if his bill should become a law he would be one of the first to suffer from its proper enforcement. The Editor of THE APPEAL Writes a Letter to the Chicago Tribune, Which is Self Explanatory. Saint Paul Minn., August 29, 1918. Managing Editor, The Chicago Tribune, Chicago, Illinois. Dear Sir: The enclosed was probably printed without your knowledge or consent. It is, however, an insult to more than 200,000 colored soldiers now in the United States Army, of whom 100,000 are already in France fighting for freedom and democracy. It is also an insult to the 12,000-000 Americans in the United States who are classed as "colored" who are 100 per cent loyal, a fact the Tribune admitted in an editorial some time since. While the "colored troops are fighting nobly" at the front—many have died in the trenches for their native land—some have won the "Croix de Guerre"—do not permit the use of terms which are offensive to those they have left behind, who are buying Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps; contributing to the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army and other war funds, in spite of the fact that some of these organizations either segregate them or refuse admission. They are also conserving food and fuel and willingly making as many sacrifices as any other group of Americans, and they are genuine Americans without the hyphen, the Census of 1910 showing that ONLY 496 COLORED AMERICANS WERE BORN IN AFRICA! To be consistent the Tribune should use "Sheeny" for Jewish soldiers, "Dago" for Italian soldiers, "Mick" for Irish soldiers, "Frogater" for French soldiers and "Mick" for Chinese soldiers, and other nicknames. And nationalities which make up the United States Army. Even German War Saving It isn't so much the amount it is getting into the amount regularly. This is not only to promise you regularly but promise some parent, your husband, or not let a first of the month without saving. The Habit of Thrift War The United States Government armies and to fight for demi-richest in the world—is willing now. Uncle Sam offers you $5 in February, and one cent additions. A Thrift Card is furnished Thrift Stamps. When all the sp Card may be exchanged for $5 post office or bank. You should regularly. Outline your program your post office and getting your Thrift Card. And stick to it. Live in this nation of freedom which you have determined to buy. Buy War Savings Stamps and bank or post office. Americans, many of whom are in the army, do not have such offensive epithets applied to them unless they are discharged for disloyalty. Cut out the word "darky" and all other words which offend loyal Americans, for the period of the war. Kindly send the order down the line that "darky" and other offensive words will not be permitted in the columns of the Tribune. This would be an act of simple justice for Americans who are doing their full duty to their country. When the victorious American Army marches down "Unter den Linden" in Berlin in triumph, colored Americans will be in the ranks and after that "darky" and all such terms will be obsolete. To the above letter the following reply has been received: THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE The World's Greatest Newspaper Chicago, Sept. 1st, 1918. "Mr. J. Q. Adams, Editor—THE APPEAL, St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir: I have your letter of Aug. 29th calling attention to the use of the word "Darky" in a head over an item from Camp Grant. I wish to assure you that there was not the slightest intention on the part of anyone who had to do with this item, of reflecting on the colored people in identifying the soldier as a colored man. Everyone, I think, appreciates the loyal spirit and heroic work of the soldiers of the colored race in this war and no one could wish to detract from the just recognition that is theirs. SOME OF THE BITS YOUR LI BERTY BOND WILL DO. If you buy a $100 bond of the Fourth Liberty Loan you are lending the United States Government enough money to feed a soldier in France a little more than seven months. Or you have furnished enough money to give him a complete outfit of winter and summer clothing, including shoes and stockings, and slicker and overcoat and blankets, with enough left over to arm him with a good revolver. You have done that much to beat back the Hun. It takes $35 more to arm him with a rifle with a bayonet on it, and if you buy a second $100 bond you furnish him this rifle and 1,000 cartridges for it; and there will still be enough of your money left to purchase a good-sized bomb to throw in a dugout, or demolish a machine gun together with the Huns operating it. 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.

NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. PRESIDENT WILSON. Commutes Sentences of Ten Colored Soldiers Sentenced to be Hung. Thirteen colored soldiers accused of participation in the riot at Houston, Tex. Aug 23, 1917, were hung. Sixteen more were sentenced to be hung. President Wilhelm reviewed the finding and confirmed the sentences of six but commuted to life imprisonment ten. In a statement attached to the record, he said: "I commute the remaining sentences, because I believe the lesson of this lawless riot will have been adequately pointed out by the action already taken and that now directed and also because I desire the clementy here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and service to the country of which they are citizens and for the liberties of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of the great fields of battle." BLACK FACE LOYALTY BADGE, SAY 10,000 COLORED BAPTISTS. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 4.—Ten thousand at the opening today of the national convention of colored Baptists, indorsed the war policy of President Wilson and pledged their loyalty to the administration. "A black face is a badge of loyalty," was adopted as the convention's slogan. YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD AT GOODMAN'S For any Watch, Diamond or other article of Jewelry you may desire.

If you have not visited the Arcadia Cafe recently, you should do so at once, in order to see, for yourself, the elegant $600.00 soda fountain, which Proprietor Simmons has installed. It is "a thing of beauty" and, doubtless will be, a "joy forever." Incidentally, it might be mentioned that one may get a regular dinner there for 25 cents, that for quality, quantity and service is not equaled any where in the city. The Arcadia Cafe is located on the corner of Fourth Ave. S. and Fifth street. AS YE SOW. What will ye reap, America. From the seeds of hate ye've sown? What will ye reap from your midnight deeds?

The State of Minnesota to All Whom it IF WE FAIL THE WORLD IS LOST American Soldiers Can Crush the Hun Only If Equipped by American Dollars. DUTY OF ALL IS CLEAR War More Than Armes—To Provide Food, Clothing, Weapons and Hundreds of Other Things Is Opportunity of Those Who Do Not Offer Lives—Buy Bonds! America is the Atlas on which the world is resting. Not only must American soldiers fight and win the war for democracy, but American dollars must equip and maintain American armies and, in addition, they must maintain the armies of the Allies. Never has so colossal a task fallen to the lot of any nation; never before in the history of the world has any nation been in a position to accomplish such a task. America can do all that she is expected to do, but she can only do it if every citizen of this greatest republic does his full share. The war in Europe is more than the splendid army of young American manhood fighting under our banners in Flanders; it is a matter of food, shelter, clothing, munitions, weapons, roads, engines, cars, ships, hospitals, medicines, of hundreds of other important things that take labor and Shell out. who Shell out. whoever's for me! money to produce. To provide these things is the opportunity and duty of those who do not offer their lives. Winning this war is a matter of money. When you buy a Liberty Bond it means money for the United States treasury. During the coming year, this nation must raise $24,000,000,000. About $16,000,000,000 of this must be raised by loans and $8,000,000 by taxation. If we do not raise this money, the United States treasury will have failed. When the United States treasury falls, the war is lost. If the war is lost, democracy is lost—the world is lost. Thus we get some idea of what each individual must do. He must save, do without luxuries, he must get along with what he has rather than buy things that are not absolutely necessary. He must do those things only which are of productive value. He must simplify and cheapen his diet. In short, he must in every possible way use for his own comfort as little of the nation's labor, time, and efficiency as possible. He must save every cent of money possible and loan it to the Government. In this way only can a citizen live up to his patriotic duty and do his part towards winning and ending the war.

FRANCI, Attorney. 329 Metropolitan Bank Bldg. (8-24-18). --- VITAL STATISTICS Your country is financing Democracy's war. Your district ranks first in doing its full share. Third Liberty Loan records show you responded promptly and generously oversubscribed your quotes. The Fourth Liberty Loan has been announced. Subscriptions must be made between the dates of September 28th and October 3rd. Interest and terms will be liberal, but they don't matter. The amount will probably be double that asked for in the Third Loan. Your allotment will be higher than ever before. Your Government can't worry about you because your patriotism has been proved—you live in the United States. You are up to you to see that this confidence is not misplaced. You must not fall to do your full share. If you individuals fail, your Government will fail. If your Government fails, the Allies will fail. If the Allies fall—freedom, justice, brotherly love, the spiritual ideals that make life worth while will fail. None of these can fail. * You and a million and a half * more like you, in the Ninth Dis- *erion of theinity Bonds on * September 28th, 1918. * To loan your full share, you will * sacrifice luxuries and comforts. * You will work and save and when * all over you will have proved * your loyalty and increased * your spiritual and your material possessions. * When you think you are asked * to do a good deal, just stop and * think of them over there. bever's for me! AGAIN IN CHARGE. Many people insist that the Ninth District is the best organized of any group of states. Results seem to prove it. The active workers in the Third Liberty Loan campaign numbered over thirty thousand out of a little more than 5 million people. The men responsible to Washington, the officers of the Northwest's financial army, are not taking the credit. They only directed this great territory's patrolic energies. There have to be officers, however, and everyone should know who they are. The men and women who led to victory in the Third Loan will be in charge during the Fourth campaign, September 28th to October 3rd. The Northwest's crops are satisfactory. The money returns from them will be big. The Ninth District will do its full share towards feeding the armies of freedom and then will turn around and loan the Government its full share of dollars to make the Fourth Liberty Loan a great success. Surely this is a fine part of a wonderful country in which to live. $3,035,226,850 District 76,926,250 District 4,500,000 District Not recorded $4,617,523,300 District 132,942,350 District 9,500,000 District 600,000 $4,170,019,650 District 180,920,450 District 17,000,000 District 1,221,504 NOT BE DONE $6,000,000,000 District 200,000,000 High District 1,500,000 Ala., North Dakota, South Dakota, Minne- eveloped patriotic co-operation faster they continue and better their splendid an Campaign?

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CHARLES BUGHROE THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan will begin September 28 and close October 19. 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 popular support of the war, of the people whose backing up the Army in the field, the loan succeeds our enemies will succeed, as it falls short they will rejoice. Brown 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?
