Meat is high; the packers admit it, though they say that other foods are higher in proportion. The farmer says he is not getting too much for his cattle, in fact not enough, he says. How about numerous local slaughtering plants scattered throughout the communities of our country, or a more direct-from-farmer-to-consumer relationship? There is almost a sentimental attractiveness about the thought, like dreams of one's boyhood home. It looks so simple. Indeed, it is simple after a fashion, and is the way most meat was handled before the industry grew to national and international proportions. But would it pay? Tried to Build Up Local Market Experimentation and testing is doubtless the best teacher. And inquiring minds have not hesitated to dig into the matter. Senator F. M. Currie of Broken Bow, Neb., himself a stock raiser, relates a bit of experience of his own along this line. He tried for years, he tells us, to establish a market for fat cattle with local butchers, invariably finding that he could not meet the price made to them by the packers. "In other words," he says, "the packers could pay us more for our cattle on foot, and sell the product to our local butchers for less money than they (the butchers) could pay us for our cattle and slaughter the beef themselves." During the fore part of the present year he carried his inquiry further. He shipped two carloads* of cows to Omaha, and they were sold to Armour and Company for $77.0 per hundredweight. Among these was one cow which he wished to have himself for beef. This cow weighed 840 pounds and therefore brought him $68.36. The animal was tagged and the identical carcass was shipped to him by express to Theford, Neb., and charged to him at the prevailing wholesale price of such meat on that day in Kansas City, Omaha and Minneapolis. The carcass included carrying charges of about $6.00, cost him $60.11, or $6.25 less than he sold the animal for in Omaha. What Cow Would Cost Consumer. "Now," continues the Senator, "suppose a consumer in Omaha had ordered this meat direct from me, and I had slaughtered the beef at the ranch and sent the meat direct to the consumer. Taking as a basis the price received for this cow in Omaha, $60.38, less the freight of 17½ cents per hundred, it would make the cow worth on the ranch $65.00." To this $65.00 he adds $3.00 for slaughtering at home and $6.00 for express from Thedford to Omaha, and he deducts $7.00 credit for the hide. According to these figures the dressed carcass of his cow would be worth $67.00 in Omaha, as against the packers' price of approximately $54.00 (which is derived by deducting the express charges to Thedford, $6.00, from the price the carcass was sold to him, $60.11). Cheaper to Buy Than Kill. "After thorough investigation," the Senator says, "I am convinced that it does not pay for us to slaughter our own meat at the ranch; that we would better ship our cattle to Omaha, and buy our beef from the packer. I have been engaged in the cattle producing business all my life; there is no particular reason why I should be friendly to the packers, but I am thoroughly convinced I am receiving, and always have received more for my cattle on foot, than if I had been able to sell direct to the consumer, and consequently the consumer has been able to buy my product for less money through the packer than under any other system which is known to business up to the present time." SENATOR KENYON'S CONTRAST ING VIEWS. Just what is the purpose of the Kenyon bill now in hearing at Washington would be hard to deduce from Senator Kenyon's own statements. In the bill itself the purpose is set forth as follows: "To stimulate the production, sale, and distribution of live stock and live stock products, and for other purposes." This stimulation of live stock production may be well taken as a bid to the consumer to hope for lower meat prices. But he has a different thought to present to producers. In a letter addressed recently to the Wallace Farmer he says: "I do not believe myself that the situation as to restricted consumption is going to be changed very much, and there will be the necessity of less production." Of course less production would supposedly mean higher prices for live stock, but also higher prices for meat. Are either the general public or the farmer going to be fooled by this method of playing up the one against the other? It is not likely. Farmers and consumers are both coming to the realization that hampering the packers is not going to bring higher prices for live stock nor lower prices for meat, but quite the opposite. THE APPEAL.

President Poincare Urges Both Nations to Guard Against Estrange-mental afayette. Sailed, foe Pointe de Grave, France.—France paid lasting tribute to American active entry into the great war by laying the cornerstone of a monument here commemorating the landing op the spot of the first contingent of American troops in 1917. Speeches by President Polcain and Hugh C. Wallace, the American ambassador, were the features of the exercises, appropriately held on the birthday of Lafayette, who sailed for America from this same port in 1777. The scene was a brilliant one, numerous detachments of French and American soldiers, sailors and marines assembled among the sandy dunes of the Pointe giving color to the picture. The guard of honor, for instance, was composed of United States marines, many of whom were veterans of the fighting on the Marne in 1918. Distinguished Gathering. In addition to Premier Clemenceau, Marshal Foch and other distinguished Frenchmen, numbers of prominent Americans assisted in the ceremony, among them Frank L. Polk, under secretary of state; Gen. Tasker H. Bliss and Brig. Gen. W. D. Connor, now commander of the American forces in France. The French representation included also Marquis de Chambrun, a descendant of Lafayette and a member of the Joffre mission to the United States in 1917; Andre Tardieu, and Deputy Maurice Damour, chairman of the committee in charge of the exercises. A band from the U. S. S. Carola played. A crowd of one, 3,000 witnessed the ceremony. President Poincaré in his speech called to America to continue that close relationship which caused the United States to come to the aid of France. "In the plains of Picardy, Lorraine and Champagne by the side of 1,400,000 whom the war has mown down," said he, "sleep your Americans whose mothers do not know their tombs. They all sacrificed to the same ideal the French died for. "Let us bend down over these tombs and listen. It is the same voice which everywhere arises from the depths of the earth. 'We have suffered,' they say, 'in order that the world should become free.' You to now falls the duty to watch that never again may leap up this danger which we have removed. Do not allow France and America to estrange themselves one from the other. Do not draw apart those hands which are now joined. Be on your guard that there shall never be kept between you misunderstandings which sooner or later might be transformed into disagreements. "Tomorrow no more than yesterday can you dispense with each other. Separated you will quickly be exposed to the offensive return of violence. Side by side the peoples who have won the war will be strong enough to make such war impossible." Praises Spirit of France. American Ambassador Wallace said the monument would be to "victory and liberty." The speaker praised the spirit of France and said that while "many and great are the glories of France there is none that compares with the glory of the Marne." Ambassador Wallace, after having dwelt upon the part Lafayette had played in the Revolutionary war, said the United States was proud to have had the opportunity to cross the ocean in this case, and that General Pershing had the honor of serving under Marshal Foch. The ambassador said he also considered it a great honor to himself that the opportunity was given him to affirm what was the due of France, which, he declared, must come out of the war with added strength and prestige, as otherwise victory would have been won in vain.

Representing a diversity or interests and including farmers, feeders, retail butchers and produce dealers, fully a thousand individuals have made their way to Washington to enter their protests against the packer licensing plan now in hearing before the senate agriculture committee. Far from solving in any measure the high cost of living, the proposed legislation if passed would be a dangerous experiment for everyone, is the consensus of opinion held by these witnesses. "We've had government control of railroads and telephones and telegraphs until we're plumb worn out, and we don't want any more." W. P. Carpenter, stock feeder of Tarkio, Mo., told the committee. "Tm in favor of the man who can produce the cheapest going ahead as far as he can. That's the way to cut down the cost of living." That the packers dominated the stock markets was an idea scouted by testifying stock feeders, who said they found the stock yards places of keen competition. Taking away the packers' refrigerator cars was as reasonable as taking away their butcher knives, was the conviction expressed by J. P. Lynch, another feeder from Tarkio. The concern of stockmen and butchers who fear that hampering the packers will only result in disrupting the meat industry without benefit to anyone, was not the sole interest displayed at the hearing. Business men throughout the country are strongly against the licensing feature which would establish a precedent for bringing government control and politics into the conduct of all manner of business. Many business organizations have expressed themselves formally, through resolutions, as against the principle of bringing business under government interference of the kind proposed in the Kenyon and Kendrick bills. In speaking for the chamber of commerce of Moultrie, Ga., C. T. Caldwell said: "We've got Swift & Co. down there, and they've helped more than anything else to get our farmers to diversify. The live stock business needs their national distribution." THE PACKERS AND REFRIGERATOR CARS Whether refrigerator cars should be owned by the railroads or by the packers—a point to be determined by legislation now pending in Washington—may seem to be a question rather remote from the interests of the average person. But, inasmuch as these "ice boxes on wheels," as one of the packers terms them, are the conveyances which bring our beefsteak to town, we may assume that we have a certain concern about them. If they have anything to do with the price of the beefsteak our concern is a deep one. It is maintained by some that these cars give the packers who now own them an unfair advantage over competitors. This is stoutly denied by the packers, who offer as proof the fact that they pay the same freight rates as any shipper; and they assert that the only advantage they enjoy is in being able to get enough cars for their needs by furnishing them themselves instead of depending upon the railroads to do so. In this they are backed up by a report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, made after an investigation of all privately owned cars, to the effect that there were no unfair practices and that a radical change would adversely affect both shippers and the public. While not opposing, in principle, railroad ownership of refrigerator cars, the packers maintain that there are not enough of these cars to go around and that the legislation in question, makes no provision for insuring that the railroads shall furnish them in sufficient number. On the other hand, to pool their cars and take chances of getting what happened to be available, would seriously handicap the distribution of their perishable meat products. The stream of shipments from the packing plants would be blocked, which in turn would block the buying of live stock, and the industry, which is founded on a basis of rapid distribution, would be badly muddled. In these contentions pro and con, there are three parties whose interests are at stake—the packers, their competitors and the public. 'Only one of these parties could gain a possible advantage if the packers', cars were taken away from them, viz, the packers' competitors. The cars are now admittedly handled on an economic and efficient basis, and no change is justified unless unfairness is definitely and absolutely proved—which would be in absolute contradiction to the report that the Interstate Commerce Commission has already rendered on the subject. The public would pay the bill for inefficiency in the packing industry, and it has no desire to pay this bill in order to help a few of the packers' competitors. $2.00 PER YEAR Some Facts About Cold Storage and the Charges of Manipulation and Exorbitant Prices. Once again the subject of cold storage has come into the limelight of public attention; and this time in connection with the nation-wide search after the cause for the high cost of living. There can be no argument in behalf of hoarding and holding back food supplies for speculative profits. But this is a matter quite apart from the true and legitimate purpose of cold storage; and, unfortunately, because of the much agitation and damaging publicity that have centered about the subject from time to time, the real service performing function of cold storage has been largely obscured. Laying In Winter Stocks. City-wise people, and even country-wise people, have long since forgotten, amidst the conveniences of modern life, that there was a time in the history of our country when "laying in a winter's stock" devolved upon each household individually. Today, one does not even need to remember that eggs are not an all-year-around product; that butter is produced in scant amount in the winter, and cheese likewise. Not a few would be completely surprised to know that even meat production has its seasons of scarcity. The buyer for the household in these days simply goes to the store, any day in the year, expecting to find these and similar commodities on the market. Are Storages Overstocked? However, we are told that storage stocks of certain commodities are at the present above the normal as compared with this time last year. It has been computed that the combined excess of a number of important foods in cold and dry storage amount to 19 per cent. While on the face of it this looks like undue boarding of reserves, yet it must be remembered that comparisons with last year are altogether misleading. Demands for a great number of commodities have increased tremendously. Our exports for June were double what they were a year ago, and 40 per cent of these exports were foodstuffs. Moreover, our reserves last year were inadequate. Those who recall some of the extraordinary prices of certain foods last winter and spring know precisely what it means to have too small holdings in storage. That we are better prepared for next winter than we were for last should not be used as the basis of a wholesale condemnation of our methods of providing for our future wants. How Prices Are Determined. Cold storage has been criticised severely as an instrumentality that lends itself easily to the taking of unfair profits. Without a question its ability to extort has been grossly exaggerated. Storage warehouses are scattered throughout all portions of the United States and their contents are owned by thousands of competing firms and individuals. About half the storage space in the country consists of public warehouses that rent space to whoever wants it, either for small lots or big ones. Tabulated figures of the amounts in storage are gathered and disseminated by the government monthly; and the amounts in holding from month to month figured against what should normally be in storage during those months (or the estimated demand) form the basis for prices. Some Figures on Profits. But the best information as to profits in the cold storage business consists of actual figures, and such are published regularly by the federal Department of Agriculture. These show, for instance, that in the season of 1915-1916 butter stored in June and July at an average of 26.64 cents a pound, sold from November to March at an average of 27.45 cents a pound, giving a gross profit of 0.81 cents a pound, or scarcely enough to pay for storage and nothing for net profit or interest on investment. In 1916-1917 the gross profit was 7.79 cents a pound, and in 1917-1918 it was 5.86 cents. These gross amounts must cover storage charges and interest on the money tied up for several months before the net profits are arrived at. It is apparent from these figures that storing of foods is an uphill and downhill business with its fat and lean years, and affords an average profit which is not excessive in view of the risks that are run. Figures on storage eggs for 1915-1916 are a net loss of 2.2 cents a dozen; for 1916-1917, an unusually prosperous year, the net profits were 5.54 cents a dozen; and for 1917-1918 there was a net loss of 1.42 cents a dozen. Extravagant charges of manipulation and control of prices are preposterously absurd in view of these seasons of losses. The ups and down of profits simply indicate the hazards of the game; for the best laid plans of men can not foresee when a warm spell may come which will start the hens to lay, nor, on the other hand, a cold snap that will shut off current production entirely. Year in and year out, as the figures would indicate, the consumer pays but a modest sum for the blessing of cold storage, which takes upon itself, with all risks involved, the task of laying in his winter stores for him. ff CORBET IP eo <4 aS er een he aae sb cee n nty ete aa ee ae ea ae me SL, _ RT eee De ENN NR eer NE eae eo aes pee ete DONG NN em on ree Ce ae eee eee Skee \ coe ae ee a eR agent pos = : a rely Oy Be ee rR ruse oun ent 3 Sa VERS AS eae en a a gta Pei SED Pea eR EEN, Of ERS MNES Hee CREE |S CU Ny ES Sr ef NR i rN RU EN Saar > Bye si aes ESAS St igh i SENT IR RORY Ne pos SRE oe OE ee eR REN Of Ose AUN RS ehck ACHE VS.

Such a plan would have been repudi ated by Col. Roosevelt who was a con spleuous advocate of equality. He practiced what he preached and did many things to break down the color line.

Battering ‘down Wrong is a useful process and must usually precede the building up of Right. | “Poul as it is, hell itself 1s defiled by the fouler presence of John.” That was the terrible verdict of the con- ‘temporaries of King John of England. In his person were combined insol- ence, selfishness, unbridled lust, cruel- ty, shamelessness and tyranny. The barons rose against him and demanded ® change A. D. 1215, they invited the King to a little meeting at Runny- mede and they informed the absolute monarch that there must be some ma- terial modifications in the autocratic power of the King. John did not relish the demand but he realized that he stood alone and that the barons had their little “hammers” up their sleeves and were ready to use them, so he granted the Magna Charta. The Great Charter was discussed, agreed to, and signed in a single day. Thus modern ‘democracy and liberty had thelr origin in “hammer” work, In the sixteenth century the Cath- ole Church had grown corrupt. The priests were guilty of immorality, ex- tortion and all the other crimes in the decalogue. The Inquisition was work. ing overtime. When conditions were at their worst, Martin Luther appeared on the scene armed with a “hammer,” and he battered down the Devil so braced Christianity and: this in the strongly entrenched in the’ church. Thus began the Reformation which ‘separated the Protestant church from the Romish See, and conferred ‘in- estimable benefits on mankind. For many years the American col- onies had been opprossed by England, the mother country.

The continued “hammering” of the colon- ists finally brought the lberty which was proclaimed, July 4, 1776. In the seventeenth. century, African slavery was inaugurated in America, ‘William Wilberforce and others “ham- mered” at the vile wrong in England. ‘The agitation was continued until the year 1834 saw the abolition of slavery in all British colonies.

The colored man is a native born American; he is 100 per cent patriotic; he is intelligent and progressive and his ambition is to Teach the status of absolute equality as an American citizen. “We feel that if we bear all the bur- dens and responsibilities of citizenship we should be accorded all the privi leges that go with it. We want no special privileges—and we want no special handicaps, “In all matters in which the law governs we demand the same rights that other American citezens enjoy. But there is.often friction and bad feeling between the colored man on the one side and ail other races on the other because there is not a better un- derstanding between the antagonistic elements. “That a better undertsanding may bo brought about the colored ian should be represented in all bodies that have to do with the shaping of policies un- der which the;people must live. “He should be ‘represented in con- gress, in the legislature, in the coun- ll, in the governing committees of the political parties with which he affli- ates. “It is unfortunatethat the white man's unreasoning prejudice (no mat- ter to What party he belongs) makes it almost a necessity that the colored man should have a preponderance of the vote in a certain territory oF have at least the balance of power between the parties before he is given any political recognition. This has a tend- ency to compel colored men to draw racial lines as a matter of self protec- tion, This is all wrong on both sides. “The white man holds the solution of this question in his hads. Not having reached this desirable point, the colored man naturally seeks to combine his energies to achieve those things that ought to be freely accord- ed to him if he produces a man. com- petent and deserving of preferment. “The colored. republicans of the 2nd ward believe that their people should be represented in the Cook county republican committee. They believe that in the 2nd ward where the color- ed man constitutes 90 per cent of the republican strength, they should select @ colored man; not because he is color- ed, but because he is. deserving and capable, as the head of the republican organization, with a voice in the man- agement of the affairs of the party. While many of the -colored voters believe that in the 1st congressional district an effort should be made to send a colored man to céngress, there are many others who feel that Con- gressman Martin -B, Madden has been the one conspicuous member of Con- gress who has stood up for the rights of the colored people and they feel that common justice requires that they make no attacks upon Congressman Madden unléss he should fail to co- operate with them in matters for their good in the district. “We believe we should apply the same rule to thie delegates to the re- publican national convention trom the 1st congressional district. We should have one of the délegates and he should cast his vote for a man for president who represents American- ism in its highest sense. “In the program herein outlined, the encinfes of the colored race will raise the cry of ‘negro domination’ wherever the colored man is numer- ically in the majority. This is all rot. “It is the desire and purpose of the intelligent progressive ‘colored man to maintain the most friendly relations with the white man and to co-operate with him in all matters touching the public welfare. “All they ask for is justice and fairness in all public matters, and it a little Christian charity can be mixed with it so much the better. Ve will fight for absolute equality under the law—no separate schools Sta ael pales ee ok ac aN rts or ‘separate cars—no segregation, either voluntary or imposed?’ We de- mand the’ right to work out our destiny as free American citizens without being shackled by the chains of race prejudice, and any man who [would deny these things to us is-not worthy of being an American citi- ae THE APPEAL has only one fault to find with Mr. Wright's interview— his too frequent use of the word “negro.” Its use aids in keeping the colored man shackled. There should be no Poles, no Irish, no Germans, no Negroes, nor hyphenates of any kind in the U.S.A. The word Amer- ican ought to be broad enough to cover all’ citizens. 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, un- fair treatment, a feeling of brooding Injustice 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 mil- lion 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 wel- fare? 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 Ameri- cans are treated, no better, no worse, then he'll be convinced. PRES. WILSON CAUSE OF NEW RACE ATTITUDE. Gi se weeny eee Equal Rights Fund Drive to be Made—i4th and 15th Amendments Must be Enforced—Get on Road for World Democracy Urges League. (Washington, D. C. Special.) The last act of the 12th Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League which closed its thrée days session after midnight in the Metro- politan A. M. E. Church was to ap- point a committee of five to urge up- on Congress the enactment of the Madden Bill against Jim-Crow cars, and the enforcement at this session of both the 14th and 15th Amend- ments to the Constitution, This followed the story by William Monroe Trotter, elected peace peti- tioner from the League, of how he reached Paris despite ‘the positive stand of the Government that none of the League's delegates should be given passports to Paris. “The new splrit_ among Colored Americans of resisting attacks upon their lives is something for which President Wil- son, himself, is chiefly responsible,” declared Mr. Trotter. “His reitera- tion of’ noble sentiments and mak- ing our boys fight under their inspir- ation has given birth to a new spirit of manliness," he said, and the large audience applauded wildly. The Plan for Defense. The convention which was attended by 100 delegates from 30 states, adopted a plan to “Make America Safe for Americans” by the formation of a chain of local equal rights leagues, to be grouped into state leagues, all to be joined together in the National League through ‘a na- tional headquarters in Boston and in Washington, leagues to be of, for and by the race, Rights Defense Fund Drive. Arrangements were also perfected for an “Equal Rights Drive" for a race-defense fund of $200,000 to begin next month and end on Fred- erick Douglass’ Birthday Anniversary, Feb. 14, 1920. Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of the church, was elected Fi- nance Director of this drive, Address to Country. An address to the country was adopted which demands the restora- tion of the ballot to the Colored peo- ple of the South, and the establish- ment of World Democracy for the Colored Race in the U. S. The address says: “World Democ- racy as now put into practise for the Colored American is an ignis fatuus which leads him into the swamps of noxious gases in forms of proscrip- tion and prejudice calculated to de- grade and finally to exterminate him as a race in the world.” N.S. Taylor, Esq, of Miss. was elected president; Rev. M. A. N. Shaw of Boston, ist vice president; Mrs. Marle Crawford of D. C., 2nd; Hon. J. B. Allen of N. Y., 3d; W. M. Trotter, Boston, executive secy.; Mrs. M. Simpson of’ Mass., asst.; Jas. L. Neill of D. C., rec. secy.; Mrs. M. D. Butler of D.'C., asst.; Maurice W. Spencer of D. C., Treasurer; Rev. C. M. Tanner of D. C., financial .secy. ‘There. was special interest in the choice of national organizer and finally it fell to Rev. B. N. Murrell of St. Paul, Minn., a prominent war worker in France. “Negroes and Dogs Not Allowed” (From the Nashville Clarion) | Down in Houston, Texas are some elevators in public buildings labeled ‘NEGROES AND DOGS NOT ALLOW- ED.” Generous Classification! Such ‘signs as these account in such meas- ure, for the exceedingly rapid manner in which the Colored men are depopu- lating 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: “HUMAN NATURE’S FOULEST BLOT.” My ear is pained 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. * * * * x * Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: *Tis human nature’s broadest foulest blot. —Cowper.
