HAVE OWN LITTLE STRIKE Fishermen of Greater New York depend on the Canaries Wormers for Their Bait—Declare They Earn Their Fifteen Cents a Day Pretty Hard—Worm Boys Figure Prominently in the Social Affairs of the Place. "Two eighty-five—that's my count; gimme three worms!" The wormers of Canarsle, after a hard day's work which started at 8 a. m. and was done at 12, were chugging past the breakwater and up Highly's wharf in gay Canarsle Shop New York. They chugged in three more hours from the bar and false channel in Janesville, where and whereabout their daily life every day in the year is carried on. They are fifty in number, and, with the exception of a few gray heads, most of them are young and of all them, irrespective of age, are happy go lucky in disposition. It would take a deep mind reader to see that they had recently passed through a crucial moment in their trade, a strike, but as it is ended and they are at work again, much to the delight of the fishermen of Greater New York, whose sole dependence for the wrigly bloodworm they are, the end came around to their satisfaction. Nevertheless as the wormers jumped out on the float in front of Rigby's with their little wooden buckets full of bloodworms and spreading out the rich green sea grass as a protective nest for the ugly worms on a news paper and figured out how many dozen worms each had taken, their ejaculated bits of conversation showed that the iron of public criticism because of their attitude had penetrated to their souls. Fifteen Cents a Dozen. "Ten dollars a day! Phew! I got twenty-four dozen and bored three worms to make that. Fifteen cents a dozen is what we get and my ketch comes exactly to $3.60. Wouldn't I like to see some of their profitseers workin' for money like that? Look at them hands!" A bunch of "wormers" showed their hands calloused in deep ruts—the effect of raking with the short-handled knife. Each the only one they can use effectively. They are pleasant remarks about the hungry green flies that infest the sand bars, not to feed on blood worms but on blood wormers. But their complaints were not serious, and except to say that they would like to have the man in New York who so strongly objected to their getting more money for their daily catch come down and deliver himself up to the "green heads" as a proper punishment for taking 40 cents a dozen at retail, they were a jolly lot of fellows. The highest number of worms in this particular day was 420, which the wormer $5.25. These were figures that refuted the charge that the honest wormers are loafing on their job and taking $10 a day for the privilege. Hop Spain is the boss of the outfit, and his is no fancy name but one that come naturally and by inheritance—"Hop" being a family cognomen. He is a splendid, stalwart specimen of manhood, apparently under forty, but he said he had been a "wormer" for twenty years. "Let 'em talk," said Hop, laughing and showing a set of perfect teeth. He was referring to the critics who have said unpleasant things about the blood worm market and ridiculed the men connected with it. "Let 'em talk; they got to have worms or quit fishin', and nobody who knows what he's talkin' about can deny that we earn our 15 cents a dozen pretty hard. Ask anybody here in Canarsie. They've seen them in weathers, and some of them has tried worm diggin' for themselves. So they know it's no plum. The boys are just what you see 'em now—take a glass of beer now and do a little fishin', don't loaf around the way folks think, and I guess as long as we isn't bothering 'round much folks that mind their own business won't bother us." - Strike Arouses Interest. Whatever stand may have been taken by foreigners it is certain that Canarsie was with the "wormers" in their strike to a citizen. And having made that statement, the further intricacies of thought into which a blood worm naturally warts will not be pursued here. The strike has been productive of a deeper interest and desire to know the ways of life of the honorable guild of worm diggers. Canarsie nestles on Jamaica bay. Huddled along a bank of an artificial canal are various seaside buildings, far from pretentious, although they call themselves hotels. Here and in the gayer restaurants that constitute carousels and switchbacks the "God's y" across the way may be purchased in the shelter, the lencher, whitefish, bluefish the retiring oyster and the equally retiring but also pugnacious lobster. Until but a few weeks ago it was possible to drain a cup that cheers in the intervals of picking out the succulent meat of the latter's claws. Now the wash used fully deserves its contemptuous name. On a day of rain it has to be admitted that Canaris is depressing, but let the clouds rift and presently a line of fishermen will reach the full length of the breakwaters, skiffs, rooftops, launches and sailboats will dot the bay, musical noise of a sort will start in the amusement pavilions and Canaris will perk up. It is possible then to stand in front of the hotel and pass in review the floating population and the natives, all interesting, but all eclipsed by the worm diggers. They give Canaris its cachet. Pleased to See Visitors. Victims. Whatever interests the worm diggers absorbs Canarsie. To be sure it holds out rival attractions island, and it is distinctly pleased when visitors come down by trolley or train or motor to eat the fish of the sea, to go "tripping" on the bay, even to bathe if they have the hardhood and the aptitude. Some people will bathe anywhere, and while Canarsie folk don't they are willing that the "foreigners" shall imagine a beach where none exists. But these people are outside of Canarsie's life and the wormers were born and raised there. That makes a difference. And if you have eyes you can pick out the wormer for yourself, although he may not have a worm in his beak at the time. In the society life of Canarsie the blood worm birds are notable. See them, say, on a Friday night, which is country store night in Canarsie (a function, so far as is recorded, peculiar to this place), and you would never dream that they had any connection with worms. They are "swell" dressers on such occasions and they are able to dance tirelessly. Dancing is one of the features of country store night, and it is always particularly fascinating at Baker's, notwithstanding an obnoxious sign indicative of a rule, "No Breaking Allowed," which is rigidly enforced. This means that a wormer or other beau is not permitted to grab off one of a pair of girls who may be tantalizingly doing a one step on the floor by themselves. Society. This rule affects the young blood (wormer, not worm) if necessary. The elder men of the profession only frequent a dance hall, do it merely look on and to be present should any guest light up sufficiently to invite all hands. As a rule the seasoned digger goes home as soon as the day's catch has been tallied up and started to the city. He may pause to have a game of old maid over a pack of grimy cards with a crony, but it is not for long. He likes his home. Often he built it himself or added to it by what he has won from the spoil of the sea, and the worm digger's house is worth seeing. It reflects the taste and fancy of the proprietor. It is what he wanted in the way of a house, and is not a conspicuous example of architecture. Not that a "wormer" is a herm; he isn't; he generally has a wife and marmots, but the older men don't court society. To close in on the motion of the strike, which really is a settled affair, a warning should be taken by the multitudes trooping down to Carnisse these days to see the worm diggers that all persons who treat the matter with levity are not in right with Carnisse and certainly they are not in the diggers' favor. FORTUNE FADES QUICKLY Man Squanders His Brother's Roll In 48 Hours Losing $1,800 of his brother's money in a single session of a crap game, giving a little supper that cost $125, buying a $175 frock for a waitress, and making her a "little present" of $750, are some of the ways in which Max Hess of Manhattan is alleged to have squandered a small fortune along the boardwalk of Atlantic City and in the cabarets in a little more than 48 hours. Hess was arrested in Chicago in a nobly bathing suit, under telegraph orders from the New York police, acting for his brother, Samuel Hess, a furrier. The latter says he left his brother, the festive Max, in charge of his establishment in Gotham while he went on a business trip, and found when he returned Max had sold out the greater part of the stock at bargain rates and left for Atlantic City in a limousine with a large roll. Max, the repentant, was held in $2,500 bail to await extradition. After buying new suits of clothes, he was as $50 night on taxi rides, he was down to a few crumpled bills of small denomination when the bubble burst. KILLS GIANT MOSQUITO Policeman Fells Monster With Blow of His Fist. The largest Jersey mosquito ever clubbed to death by a policeman was exhibited on the blotter at the North Bergen police headquarters recently. It was more than an inch in length, not counting the "bill." The giant bird of prey of the Jersey swamps met an untimely end when it attempted to perforate the neck of Lieutenant Frehner, who was "on the desk." The lieutenant heard a mighty buzzing sound and felt the heavy thud of a body on the back of his neck. He doubled his fist into a club and sweated himself hard. When the lieutenant recovered from his blow he found the carcass of the "swamp bird" lying on the desk, feet up. The blow had broken the neck of the predatory creature, and also broken off its proboscis. THE APPEAL. SEES GAME WITH TEACHER'S EYES Blind Girl Is an Enthusiastic Rooter for New York Giants. GETS ALL THE GOOD POINTS Daughter of Famous Author and Composer Inherits Love of Sport From Father—Is Like Ray of Sunshine. New York—Everybody was humming or whistling "After the Ball" 25 years ago. Charles K. Harris, author and composer of that popular song, was at that time a resident of Milwaukee and a frequent visitor to Chicago. He was an enthusiastic baseball fan. The Harris home is now at 151 West Eighty-sixth street, this city, and Miss Mildred Harris, the nineteen-year-old daughter of the author-composer, has inherited a love of baseball from her father and, despite her total blindness, is able to "see" the game and enjoy it almost as keenly as if she had her sight. For the last seven years she has been a fan. She sits in the grandstand wearing smoked glasses and is always on hand when the Glants are playing. She jumps up and down and cheers the players just like other excited spectators. Behind her unseeing eyes is a mind of extraordinary perception, swift and grasping what is on about her. Some of the experts say she "sees" the game more alllenght than those who have all the senses. Sees Through Father's Eye Miss Mildred's escort is her father, and it is through his eyes that she is able to see baseball and understand all the nice points of the game, as she has been doing for the last seven years. He explains the game to her as it progresses by means of a conversational code. "When I was twelve years old," she said, "the Giants were winning the pennant, and my father was tremendously excited about it. Of course I asked him to explain, and he took a piece of cardboard and drew a diamond on it, marking the bases. He told me about the game I traced the diagram out with my fingers until I got the thing visualized in my mind. Then I went to the games with him so soon learned to understand them by my hands, and I pressed in monosyllables, a word at a time. So I came to know the players and, like others present, to get all wrought up over team work and brilliant individual performances." In this way the blind girl came to know the stars of the baseball world. She can tell you all about the wonderful feats of Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb and those of more recent date, including Benny Kauff, Ross Young and others. She laughingly says she has the time of her life when she goes to a ball game. She is sure that she sees all that is going on just about as anyone else sees it. Although Miss Harris was born blind, she carries a ray of sunshine wherever she goes, for she is cheerful of the outdoors and excels in walking, swimming and dancing. She is an accomplished pianist, speaks French fluently and during the war was a volunteer worker for the Y. W. C. A. Rooter for the Giants. It may be added that Miss Mildred this year is betting on the Giants, but the fact is she has always been a "rooster" for the Giants. More than once, however, she had lost money on them, but is hoping that she will be lucky enough to get some of it back this year. She feels it "in her bones" that nothing can head the Giants off this year. The ball game is the one place she can go where she can throw aside formality and do just as she pleases, and for this reason it is her greatest recreation. "You see," she explains, "you don't have to be subdued and self-repressed but can holler your head off if you want to, and nobody pays any attention right to suit everybody dandelion reigns and the who cried it is in a state of frenzy. It certainly is great sport." Miss Harris modestly says she has been given credit for having converted many others into fans. She talks baseball enthusiastically to her friends and acquaintances and naturally they become interested and follow the crowd to witness the great American game. ONE BATH IN 482 FAMILIES Only One Tub in Block of 43 Tenements Where 1,700 Live, Survey Shows. New York—A housing survey of a block in East 33d street made for the state reconstruction commission shows one bathtub in forty-three tenement houses in which live 1,700 persons. The bathtub is the property of the saloon-keeper. It is for use by the owner and his family and comparatively few of his families on the block have ever seen it. The next approach to bathing facilities discovered by the investigators on that block was a stationary washtub with a partition which can be lifted out on Saturday night.

A guest at a New York hotel afflicted with an aggravated case of ingrowning chagrin, decided to "end it all." The river was too far, and he did not happen to have a pistol with him. The actors were striking and he couldn't attend a bedroom farce and be bored to death. There was nothing left for him to do but jump out of the window. He climbed over the sill, lowered himself and hung there holding on with his fingerprints. He may have been praying. He may have been wondering if he had forgotten anything. As he was hanging a man in a room across the court caught sight of the figure and running to the telephone notified the management that one of their guests was about to drop from the sixth floor. He was a general rush for the room of the guest who had decided to play the role of leading man at a post mortem. An entrance was effected, but the man on the other side of the window warned the would-be rescuers that they advanced a step further he would immediately lay claim to his harp, halo and wings by releasing his hold. They pleaded with him. They cailed. But the guest, tired of life, only smiled and said that when he counted ten he would be on his way. He began to count. When he reached six he stopped. His lower jaw dropped. His eyes were fixed in a steady stare at something in the rear of the room. Everyone turned, and there in the doorway stood one of the guests holding aloft a "wee dech an doris." He made no resistance as they pulled him back into the room. He dropped limp on the bed and they poured his misky past his white lips. A little later as he was dressing, preparatory to leaving the hostel, he told the house detective he must have had a nightmare. "I ate some grapes for dinner," he said, "and I must have swallowed a pkt." "You probably did," said the house detective. Ranchman Marooned by Cloudburst Is Towed to Land. Diving like Annette Kellermann from the second story of a barn and catching hold of the tail of a horse and then being conveyed safely to dry land is not a new indoor sport—it's just the manner in which Max Lesser made his getaway from a cloudburst near Lyons recently. A ranchman out rounding up his stock after the storm rescued a girl who had taken refuge on the top of Lesser's automobile, which he had been compelled to leave and take shelter in the barn. When the ranchman and girl riding the horse passed the barn where Lesser was stalled, he saw them and made the dip. **Parrot and Dog Fall Heir to $3,000.** A parrot and a hairless dog are among the beneficiaries of the estate of Mrs. S.

COW AND MOTOR STAR IN MYSTERY COW AND MOTOR STAR IN MYSTERY Furnish Knotty Problem for the Chicago Police. STARTS WITH STOLEN CAR Case Might Be. Entitled "The Mystery of Migely's Missing Machine, or Marie's Mishap"—What Worries Migely is Who Is Going to Pay for Damage Done to His Machine When It Hit Marie. Chief of Police Garrity, Capt. Joseph Smith, and several others in authority in Chicago's municipal law and order enforcement league are delving into the intricacies of a crime problem which might be entitled "The Mystery of Migely's Missing Machine, or Marie's Mishap." It all started when someone made off with the automobile of William J. Migely. Two days ago Migely's hopes ran high when the Grand Crossing police notified him they had his car, safe and sound, outside the station. He hurried to the station. There was no car there. "Well, I'll be hung for a humbug if it wasn't sittin' out there just now," the sergeant, scratching a pared pate. "It does beat all how that car gets away, don't it?" Migely went home. Copperts Strike Marie. Came Joseph Kartillia to the South Chicago station walling of his woe. "They struck my Marie," he moaned. "They were coppers, too. I saw 'em. There were four of them in the car, two coppers, a fireman, and a lady. And they didn't have no regard for speed. They toothed their horn and expected Marie to run out of the way. She can't run no more. They hit 'er in the side and knocked 'er down and wrecked the car. And then they left Marie layin' in the street and hopped a street car. I had an awful time gettin' Marie home." "Gosh, I thought she'd been dead by that time!" exclaimed the sergeant. "Did you carry 'er home?" "Carry 'er! She welcomes a thousand pounds, Marie's a cow." Find Migely's Car. Later the police found Migely's car at East Ninety-eighth street and Torrance avenue. The radiator was smashed where Marie, after the manner of her kine, had attempted to defend herself in the only way she knew head on and horns down. She was spry enough and the car caught her helpless. "Marie's horn was broken and she's inside and she'll have to be shot," Mrs. Anna Kartrilla wept. "How about my car?" asked Migely. "Who's going to pay for that?" "Marie couldn't help it. It wasn't her 'inault'," retorted Mrs. Kartrilla. "The police and fire departments are responsible." "We're investigating," said Sergt. Michael Hastings. "Investigating also," echoed Sergt. A. Wiseman. "Guess I'd better take my car while I've got it," said Migely. JOHN REACHES PHILADELPHIA Chinese Student "Stopped Over" in New York Two Years. A Chinese student, graduated from the University of Illinois, walked into the chamber of commerce at Philadelphia recently and presented a letter of introduction from the secretary of a chamber of commerce in one of the New England states. He wanted to be placed in touch with certain manufacturers in the textile industry. He gave an address in Boston, to which he referred as his home. The letter of introduction stated that he was a resident of Bridgeport, Conn. His attention was drawn to this and he smiled and pointed to the date on the letter. It was September 17, 1917. "I stopped over in New York on my way here," he explained. IT SOUNDS REASONABLE This Fish Story Deals With Doings of a Pet Carp. The prize fish story of the season comes from Crawford county, Pennsylvania, where a man owns a pet carp. Whenever he feels like going fishing he digs a few worms and throws them into the tank occupied by the carp. If the fish grabs them the man gets his pole and goes fishing; if the carp passes them up the man stays at home, feeling that it is no day for fishing. Thus the man figures that he loses no time, and he always returns with a nice string of fish, according to the story. Finds Eggs Eighty Years Old. Eggs believed to be more than eighty years old were discovered by workmen who were making alterations in an old homestead at Fayette City, Pa. The eggs were found in a nest between rafters on the second floor. It is thought they were laced while the house was being constructed. They were blackened from the dust of years.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL MUST WAIT CENTURY BEFORE BURIAL SERVICE Man's Will Makes Strange Request for Self and Grand-daughter. Twenty-eight years are yet to elapse before the bodies of Morris Bell and that of his granddaughter, Jane Peeling, which now repose in iron caskets in a vault in the Greenmount cemetery at Springfield, O., will be put in graves, if the wish of Bell is carried out. Due to the breaking of pieces of glass in the caskets, City Manager O. E. Carr recently ordered the vault door boarded up so that visitors might not enter the vault while the bodies are exposed to the outside air. For years the vault has been a mecca for curious persons who visit Springfield. An article referring to the two bodies, taken from a newspaper of July 12, 1894, is as follows: "Supt. Lewis E. Staley of Greenmount cemetery has been kept busy the last six weeks showing the hundreds of curious and awe-scruff visitors the coffined remains of two people who have been in their graves of iron for nearly half a hundred years. "In a vault, which is easily accessible, a rickety wooden door being without trouble easily unlocked and opened, the remains of Morris Bell and his granddaughter, Jane Peeling, both lying in iron coffins placed upon stone supports, four feet from the floor. The coffins are airtight, the lids being soldered on instead of being fastened with screws. A thick glass in each coffin allows a view of the face mask and breast. "Long before this city was incorporated Morris Bell was mayor of the settlement. He was born in Green County, and Bellbrook, the summer resort near Xenia, is named in his honor. "He was rich and eccentric, and his dying request was that his remains should be placed in a vault; that upon Jane Peeling's death her remains were to be placed beside his in the vault, and that they were to be left there for 100 years and then both were to be buried side by side. Bell died in 1847, and his granddaughter, aged twelve, a few years later.

'WHY BE SILLY?' SAYS GROOM Cleveland Couple Appear Garbed as for informal Picnic and Bridegroom Holds Forth Voluminously on His Ideas of Modern Marriage Ceremony—But Read What the Clerk Saw in Little Alcove Off the Court. “There’s too much silly sentimentality about getting married nowadays, anyway,” a young bridegroom told Edward Fairbanks, cashier of probate court in Cleveland after fishing in his pocket and laying out on the counter three quarters and a nickel for his license. He looked like a sentiment-defying bridegroom, clad in a plain flannel suit, heavy tan shoes and an army shirt and black string neckline. And his bride, of about his age—twelve-three—was dressed in gingham, as if for an informal picnic. Furthermore, the young man volunteered a little lecture on of getting married in this modern day. Why Be So Silly? “Notice we haven’t donned our Sunday best just because we are signing a business contract?” he inquired. “Yes, I had noticed that very thing” replied Cashier Fairbanks. "Why should we be silly and uncomfortable and sentimental over a business proposition?" continued the youth, "We didn't come down in a taxi. We rode down on the street car. We didn't talk about our great day and gaze soulfully into each other's eyes. We talked about the apartment we're going to live in, and wondered if the player piano on the floor above us would be going after eleven at night." Well, you're the first of your kind "I even said," said Mr. Fairbanks, "I hope you won't miss--wr-what you seem to seem." "We wont," said the youth. He beckoned to the girl and they sauntered out of the office. No Sentiment: Oh. No! There's an alcove off the court office. No one can see it except persons passing through the door—and the cashier. "They didn't figure on me," Mr. Fairbanks said later. "What did they do? Oh, nothing. They're so sensible and businesslike. She just stepped into the alcove and he followed, and then he put his arms around her and gave her the most masterly, sentimental, loving hug and kiss I ever saw. And I've seen a few in my time." COW GETS LADDER Painter and All His Work Took a Tumble to Earth. A painter, whose name is withheld, high at work painting the water tank at the Wanless mine at Buhl, Minn., the other day, felt a tugging at the bottom of the ladder. He looked down and there, scratching her back, was a black coat. His probable fate faded into his mind. Bossy took one look upward toward the heavens and saw the painter descending. This time the cow became frightened and ran her horns through the lower rungs of the ladder. Off she went in a gallop, carrying the ladder, painter, paint and all. The louder he yelled the faster the cow went. It was but a short travel to earth for the painter, who struck the ground with a resounding thud. He escaped uninjured with his feelings ruffed. He made matters worse Bossy retained ownership of the ladder, which she carried on her away horns. She was caught after she had gone a quarter of a mile. THIS GRAFTING IS O. K Horticulturist Experiments With Potato-Tomato Vine. Yankee ingenuity and American "graffing" promises to solve the all-absorbing question of the high cost of living. It has become known at Onelda, N. Y., that Alasn Wheeler, horticulturist and assistant teacher at the state agricultural school at Morrisville, has been carrying on some experiments which encourage hopes for a crop of vegetables above as well as below the soil on the same vine. Wheeler has grafted a tomato vine to a potato plant which bears fruits.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1919 WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS. Some members of the Episcopal board of missions favor the raising of a fund of $1,000,000 for the purpose of converting the Jews, "because they are losing faith in Judaism and becoming atheistic. This move brought a quick retort from many of the rabbis, three of whom we quote: "Attempts to 'convert' the Jew have never been successful," said Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple, "and the thronged synagogues refute the charge that the American Jew is straying from his faith." Rabbi Stolz said that reports that the Episcopal Church might be induced to appropriate large sums for Christianizing the Jew were too ridiculous to discuss. Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Temple Sholom declared that Judaism was stronger than it had ever been and that the American Jew was one of its greatest factors. In Europe they have had for hundreds of years, a great way of "converting" the Jews by surrounding the ghettos and murdering men, women and children. In Hungary, recently, hundreds of Jews have professed Christianity to save the lives of themselves and families, but all of the certificates of baptism were overprinted in red, "Not good in case of pogroms (massacres)." The Jews of the United States will not rush to Christianity because they know that American Christians would then segregate them and compel them to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch them just as they have their colored brethren. EASY TO CONVINCE HIM. The following is from the Chicago Herald and Examiner: One colored man was killed and two were injured this week in a fight with whites in the heart of the colored section. In Chicago? No, in New York. Because our time of rioting is over, some people think the sky is clear again. No idea could be more foolish. So long as we have discrimination, unfair treatment, a feeling of brooding THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man- entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten- the hearts of friends I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. injury between the white men and colored men, we shall have a burning fuse on its way to high explosive. New York mocked Chicago for its race riots. We do not mock New York. The problem is too serious and too imminent for anything but the most painful consideration. How shall we convince the colored man, who fought for his country and saw a million of his race serving her colors, the truth, for it is the truth, that his country wants him, needs him, and is united in its urgent desire for his welfare? All that is necessary to convince the colored man "that his country wants him, needs him, and is united in its urgent desire for his welfare," is to cut out lynching, mob murder and all discriminations of law and custom and treat him the same as all other Americans are treated, no better, no worse, then he'll be convinced. IN ILLINOIS. The plan for a convention to make a new constitution for the State of Illinois is the result of a scheme of certain Illinois interests led by the copper-head Chicago Tribune. There absolutely is no reason for a change in the basic law, but certain people of The Tribune ilk were anxious to put some jim-crow provisions in the law and the convention is the result. Jim-crowism was not the only Tribune scheme, but it was an important cog in the plan. The primaries have just been held and three colored men have been nominated and it is reasonably certain that all of them will be elected: Col. Franklin A. Denison in the first district and Hoh. Edward H. Morris and Rev. J. A. Carey in the third district. If they are elected the interests of the colored people will be well looked after. CLOSE JIM-CROW SCHOOL The colored people of Pittsburgh, Pa., who have shown a united front in refusing to be jim-crowed, have done a great service to the whole people. Although contrary to the law, a seperate "negro" school was opened on West Front Street in that city, but the colored people refused to aid it and insisted upon sending their children to the regular public schools with other American children, and the jim-crow school has been obliged to close for want of patronage. Good! COLORED VETERANS ELIGIBLE. Nothing illustrates the status of the colored man in the United States more than the announcement of Henry D. Lindsley, chairman of the national executive committee of the American Legion that colored veterans are eligible to membership. The announcement states further that the composition of local and state organizations will be left to the members themselves. That means that many colored men who have risked their lives in defense of their country will be denied membership in the South and in many parts of the North. And they still say the war was fought for "democracy." THE "COLORED" COMMITTEE. The plan of the Roosevelt Memorial Association to have a segregated "colored" committee in each state to raise funds among the colored people is an unnecessary drawing of the color line and entirely wrong. Such a plan would have been repudiated by Col. Roosevelt who was a con- THE SIN OF To sin by silence protest makes cov The human race has test.

He practiced what he preached and did many things to break down the color line. For the men who head this affair to set the colored people aside is really an attempt to put a blot on the record and memory of a great American. The work could have been done just as effectively by having colored men as equal members of state and local committees without the color line. The editor of THE APPEAL received an appointment as a member of a "colored" committee but declined to serve. THE RACE COMMISSION. THE APPEAL still contends that there is no reason for the existence of the "race commission" appointed by Governor Lowden of Illinois. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided by a unanimous vote that segregation is unlawful, so there is nothing to arbitrate. The editor has talked with several prominent Illinois men this week and the consensus of opinion among them is that the whole thing is a political scheme of Governor Lowden, who is a prospective candidate for president on the Republican ticket in 1920. These men say that since he has been governor of Illinois, Lowden has developed a great prejudice against the colored people. He has taken "jimcrow" colored men into his confidence and his present plan is to get the colored people to consent to their own civil degradation. These Illinois men say that the commission is "packed." The majority of the white men on the same are enemies of the colored people, and the majority of the colored men jimcrowists, that is, men willing to make concessions in their civil rights. THE APPEAL man has been well acquainted with Edward H. Morris, Chicago's famous lawyer, who is one of the commission attic can vouch for him as a man who will not concede anything fundamental. He will fight any attempt at segregation to the last ditch. THE APPEAL is only slightly acquainted with four of the other colored men. One man he has never met. He has often heard three of the colored men described as jimcrow men of the deepest dye. It is said that segregation propositions will be offered by the white members. If such propositions are offered the colored men should stand as a unit against them no matter how trivial they may seem. They must not yield a single point on any question involving segregation of any kind. ASK EQUALITY IN TREATY. William Monroe Trotter of Boston, secretary of the National Equal Rights League, appeared before senate foreign relations committee Thursday representing the organization and asked for two amendments to the Peace Treaty. One provides that in the league of nations covenant the members "vouchsafe to their own citizens the possession of full liberty, rights of democracy and protection of life, without restriction or distinction based on race, color, creed or previous conditions." The other adds a similar guarantee as a separate section of the treaty. Such amendments are all right. An amendment to give the United States a mandatory over the Kamerun, a German colony in Africa, was requested by Joseph T. Thomas, a colored man of Cleveland, Ohio, rep- F SILENCE ce when we should awards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against he and lust, the in- serve the law, and resenting the national race congress. American colored men, he said, could be recruited to police the territory under white officers. Such an amendment is all wrong, because the United States has given justice to the colored peoples already within its borders. A petition that all the African colonies taken from Germany be "divided between Egypt, Abyssinia and Liberia" was filed by the League of Darker Peoples of the World. This amendment would be all right if the word Egypt were stricken out. To give any of the colonies to Egypt would be to turn them over to the tender mercies of Great Britain which rules Egypt with an iron hand. KEEP COOL! With the great racial excitement now existing all over the country, it is well for colored people to keep cool. No good can come from incendiary talk. It is rank folly to talk about actual, physical fighting to win the contest for justice in the U. S. A. It would be futile as the colored people have neither wealth nor guns and are outnumbered five to one. Never be the aggressor but defend yourself if wantonly attacked. The colored people must fight but it must be with the spirit, money and the ballot. Use every legitimate means to create a healthy public opinion and vote for the individual or party guaranteeing protection of life and liberty. ONE WAY OUT. It seems that the best means for promoting the welfare of the colored people would be the scattering of colored families all over the country. In communities where there are only a few families there seems to be little or no friction. Trouble seems to be caused by the coming of the masses. An example of this is right here in Minnesota in the town of Bemidji, where there are not more than a dozen colored people. Charles W. Scrutchin a colored man of African ancestry is the leading lawyer, having a good paying practice, his clientele being all white. He has the respect of the entire population and is received everywhere with the same cordial welcome that is given the whitest man in town. There is no race problem in Bemidji. NOT A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY NOT A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY. One Beauregard Moseley of Chicago, a colored man of local prominence presumably in order to be patted on the back and called a "good negro," in an address at a colored meeting during the riots informed his auditors that, "this is a white man's country." He was promptly rebuked and we trust he'll know better next time. No, this is not a "white man's country." It is true that the white man stole it from the Indians, and also stole some colored men who were free in Africa, brought them over here and made them slaves to work the stolen property. Three hundred years of unrequited toil gives the colored man a better title to the land than the white man's. The colored man knows no other land; he speaks the vernacular of it country; he has fought in every war to preserve its integrity; has has always been loyal though deprived of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The colored people of the United States are not aliens; they were all born here. They are Americans and as Americans have their share in our common country. COWARDLY BISHOP REBUKED We reprint from the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a stalwart and outspoken champion of the colored people, the following rebuke to cowardly colored bishop: BISHOP PHILLIPS WRONG While there is much in Bishop C. H. Phillips' pacifist interview of last Sunday, in the Cleveland News-Leader, to interest the average reader, there is one statement to which all of the intelligent members of our race will take issue and that is his statement that "the Afro-American does not desire social, political or industrial equality." That is not true bishop! In this section of the country we want and, in a limited degree, enjoy all three. In the South, our people are asking the last two. "Social equality" is a myth. It does not exist among any class (race) of Americans. It is a matter for the individual to settle and he alone settles it in all cases. And many white and colored individuals (families) in this section of the country have long settled it to their entire satisfaction and are enjoying the so-called "social equality," and will continue to do so until "the end of the chapter" regardless of the ranting of southerner if not both and the laws of the political equality, the fundamental law of the land guarantees the latter if not both and the laws of the states are in most cases explicit when it comes to the former. Not only does this race of ours desire them but it demands them and will never rest until they are conceded in every nook and corner of this country of ours. The Afro-American wants and must have everything good every other class (race) enjoys in this country if he is to keep abreast of the times and be able to cope with them in the great struggle of life. In this section of the country, at least, we can stand up and say so—tell the plain unvarnished truth and should do so. That it is not advisable for the good bishop to do so because of his resi- dence in the South and because of the large church interests there he represents, we can understand. However, good bishop, please refrain from giving out such interviews here in the North where they do no good but on the contrary have an effect that retards the progress of those of the race in this section of the country. "NEGRESS" IS NAUSEATING. The following from the Chicago Tribune is a manly protest against the use of a word which is particularly offensive to colored women. OBJECTS TO "NEGRESS." Chicago.—(Editor of the Tribune.) in two recent issues you published very fine and highly commendatory ditorials on "Race Progress and Common Sense," yet, notwithstanding that, yesterday you state in glaring headlines the "Death of Mme. Walker, Wealthiest Negress." That word "Negress" is nauseating in the eyesight of all colored women and should be eliminated from the vocabulary, in which it has no rightful place. Above all, your paper should be the leader in this regard, if you really have the welfare of the colored race at heart SAMUEL Z. C. WESTERFIELD. The colored men who persist in using "negro" as a race designation are largely to blame for the common use of a word which should be avoided. The colored people of the United States are Americans—that's all. The use of "negro" and "negress" is the cause of many discriminations against the colored people. The word "negress" is nauseating, and so is the word "negro" when used as a racial designation for the colored people of the United States. THE LATE RACE RIOTS White Woman writes Her Personal Experiences in Recent Race Troubles in Washington (From The Nation, New York.) the Equal or The Nation: Sir, I mendied night, when so many in the Lincoln Park feared a mob and a general man, and when most white men believed that a woman who ventured into that section would be literally devoured, I took it into my head to go there, and go I did. I went for several reasons. One was to prove that a white woman could do it; another, because I knew what had been done by the authorities and thought that a little reassurance from a lone and harmless woman might go a good way, for I guessed the probable psychological state in that section. Besides, I wanted to know at first hand what the colored people were doing and thinking. I found out, if I talked to one colored man, I talked a hundred and fifty. Occasionally I went to speak to one I knew; oftener I went to a group of unknown men and asked them their views. Always and everywhere I have with courtesy and attention. As we talked, men would appear from the shadows—seemingly from the night itself—until there were perhaps twenty of us. Only once did I see a policeman, who glanced at us curiously, but said nothing and passed slowly on. And when we had finished our talk, the group would melt into nothingness and I would proceed on my quest. I saw no women at all. And the men—why, those men were not out to start something. They were armed, most of them, and were quite frank about it, but they did not want a tie, the they were out to see if a mob were they out, if there were, they were going to marriage themselves; then, if the they tried to get in, there was trouble ahead. As one put it: "A man would be less than a man if he didn't fight for his family and his home." Their state of mind was not primarily fight. It was fear, a perfect hysteria of dread lest, a new East St. Louis] was at hand. And, as with all hysteria, a small occurrence would have set them off in a freaky Dynamite! They were TNT. Again and again I was asked: "Is a mob gathering on Pennsylvania mob? Will they come up and burn us out? Is the Park cordoned?" And they really doing anything? I told them that the best of the whites did care, but that we were helpless. I told them also that measures had really been taken that afternoon and what they were—that there really was military, as well as police, protection. One queer old man remarked: "Well, I reckon somebody do care, or a white lady wouldn't come out to tell us about it." A one-handed soldier said: "I enlisted; I gave the country my hand, and I was ready to give more. When I was in France, I was a man and a soldier, but when I get back here, I'm the children. I'm not a man, even just a little boy. It was not said bitterly; it went deeper into bitterness. He spoke like a man with a broken heart. Another said: "They say this is to protect the white women. My father was in charge of a whole plantation and a family of white women during the Civil War. They weren't afraid to leave the white women with us then, and colored men are no different now." Many of them expressed a liking for and confidence in, the captain of the precinct, and, when a man of one race speaks well of a man of another, during a race riot, that means something. But they spoke of the lack of colored police, and of the fact that colored men were being dropped from the force and that none had been appointed since 1810. "You know," they said, "we could talk better to colored police, and we reason with the people and not just know them." They know who the people are and what is going on, and they could stop a lot of trouble without arrests. But they don't want to give us a chance." I saw but one noisy Negro, a half witted and dishevelled-looking fellow, talking loudly and belligerently. Him two colored men seized and thoroughly shook, telling him that if he did not "shut up and get home," he would certainly find things happening to him. Once an excited colored boy came flying on a bicycle with the news that a white mob had formed inside the cordon and on its way. "Let's go meet them," said one young hothead. This was at once negatived. "We'll watch and see if they are coming, and "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. * * * * * * Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. if they are, we will go home and lock the doors. That's what Captain Doyle said, and he knows what's what." So, for a few tense moments, we stood seeing into the drizzly gloom, not knowing what might after all be about to come. But all was quiet, and we instantly drifted on our ways. And thus it went for two hours. I made sure I had two hands red-handed murderers, but citizens, hunted and terrified, looking more or less nopelessly to their Government for aid; human beings craving the hand of brotherhood, and cut to the very heart. I thought of Belgium. I remembered that my country stands abroad for liberty, justice, and the rights of men, though she has them not at home. How blind we are, Anglo-Saxons, who talk of Freedom and justice, who call of souls. But still I hope and dimly see a dam—red, it is true, but still a fae-dawn off. A white man once said to me; "You talk like a Negro. You see at times to identify yourself with them. Have you lost your race consciousness?" I replied: "I hope I think enough like them to show you how they feel. I hope I always lose race consciousness when it stands in the way of my consciousness of common humanity." Then he said a queer thing: "I do not know whether you are mad or inspired." I had been thinking of going to Serbia, but I believe my duty is here. I believe that our country needs us who are standing along the color line to ready to do anything possible, to whatever limit. If you to whom I look as a leader in this situation, should ever need my services, you have but to speak. My soul is afame, not with the glare of the destroying torch, but with the steady incandescent glow which cannot be extinguished. Washington, July 20. E. G. M. "Negroes and Dogs Not Allowed" (From the Nashville Clarion) Down in Houston, Texas are some elevators in public buildings labeled "NEGROES AND DOGS NOT ALLOWED." Generous Classification! Such signs as these account in such measure, for the exceedingly rapid manner in which the Colored men are depopulating the South. They can be neither blamed nor censured for leaving a town like this. They have hearts and souls and human pride, just like the people of other races. WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO." Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realise that it is the most potential factor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, a nausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Benegambians only. c. Its derivatives. "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds. Negro head, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine form. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind WANTED, A SAMARITAN. Prone in the road he lay. Wounded and sore bestead: Priests, Levites past that way, And turned aside the head. and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Negro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours, OWEN M. WALLER, M. D. Must Judge A Group by Its Beat. (From the Christian Register, Boston. Mass.) No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the two sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know associations among them that the others know them or, knowing, do not enter into and agree with capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obliquous of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race and whose mistakes that come from learning how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. Not "Nigger"—Not "Negro." (From the Washington Bee.) Bishop Wilbur Thirkield, in discuss- colored American in the South- western Christian Advocate, and in his reply to Irvin S. Cobb, says: the writer means well, but he does not seem to know what the term "nigger that has persisted as a reloi of slavery and has in the sting of liquid fire to every self-respecting Negro. must go." Yes. and The Bee asserts that not only the word "nigger" must go, but the word "Negro." We are American citizens, the same as you, although our skin may be dark. The white man manufactured both terms and the Government legalizes them and colored Americans perpetuate them. For God's sake, give both terms a rest. GO TO SEE HIM. The soldiers and sailors who took out government insurance during the world war should, under all circumstances, continue to pay their premiums on their policies, which are better by far than any others they can get. All men who were in the army or navy should at once join the local Post of the American Legion. Go to see Lieut. Hauenstein, 919 Pioneer Building, Fourth and Robert streets, who has been appointed special agent of the Legion for the purpose of helping the men to revive their insurance they are in arrears or to continue their asks. Lieut. Hauenstein will accord the men the most courteous attention if they will call to see him. Our boys should act promptly, for if they delay too long, they will be required to take another medical examination for insurance. DO IT NOW! Needed by Colored Leaders. (From the Richmond Planet.)
