NO. 5 BERMUDAS HAD HISTORY.LIKE U.S. But Revolution Failed to Gain for Them Their 'Independ- Supplied Ammunition Witih Which Continental Army Forced British to Evacuate Boston—islands Discovered as Result of Shipwreck. Washington, D. C.—"The Bermudian islands suggests the adventures of Robinson Crusoe in their colonization and present in their later chronology a curious parallel to United States history, with the events consistently predated by a number of years." With this statement the National Geographic society prefaces a bulletin on the Bermudian, a principal group of the British West Indies, which some Englishmen suggest be ceded to the United States in part payment of the American war loans to Great Britain. "The Robinson Crusoe comparison obtrudes because the islands were discovered and later settled as the direct result of shipwrecks, and the settlers had to build themselves a bark to set sail again," the bulletin continues. "As for the anticipation of American history, on a miniature scale, it may be noted that the colonization took place seven years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Mass.; that witches were borne Oakens prepersecuted and miscreants were ducked before similar occurrences are recorded in New England, and that slavery was abolished in 1834. The Bermudians protested long before 1776 against the mother country's rule, until the island prisons were over full, but relief came, in their case, not through a declaration of freedom, but by the accession of Cromwell. Helped to start Revolution. "Bear the essential point of contact of the american with the Bermudian arises from the labyrinth that while the immortal Lafayette garrulantly helped the colonies conclude their war of independence, the Bermudians supplied the ammunition to begin it. "So acute was the need for powder in 1775 that George Washington wrote to the governor of Rhode Island that 'no quantity of powder, however small, is beneath notice.' Learning that there was a store in Bermuda, and that the islanders were anxious to have the embargo lifted upon shipment of food supplies from the colonies, Washington addressed a letter to the people of the island, who had shown themselves sympathetic with the American Revolution, promising them ample supply of provisions and every other mark of affection and friendship which the grateful citizens of a free country can bestow upon its brethren and benefactors if they would make this ammunition available for the Continental army. "It so happened that the powder had been procured before the letter was delivered, and with it the Continental army compelled the British to evacuate Boston. A Winthrop Joined Torles. "Not only the sale of powder but the fact that Bermuda allowed the colonies to have salt, so incensed the governor of Bermuda that he upbraided the citizens for treason, and feeling ran so high that he was removed. His successor was a native of Salem, Mass., whose loyalty to the mother country was such that he gave up large estates in the colonies rather than join the revolutionists. He was connected, both by blood and by marriage, with the Winthrop family. Under his rule the island's full allegiance to England was redefined. "Bromine was succeeded by Henry Hamilton, during whose administration the town of Hamilton was founded and named for him. This town today is the seat of the island government. It has a population of less than 3,000. "Hamilton is on Main island, or Bermuda, while St. George, the former capital, is on the island of the same name. There are more than 300 small islands in the Bermuda group, of which only a score are inhabited. The total population of the islands in 1916 was little over 20,000, of whom about one-third were white. Bermuda surfaired during the war by the cessation of the American gourist patronage, and doubled the entire island population. "The Bermudas attracted visitors because of their mild climate, which knew no frosts, and by their scenic beauty. "Juan Bermudez, sailing from Spain to Cuba in 1515 with a cargo of hogs, discovered the islands when a storm blew him to their shores. Apparently he left some of the hogs there, for later visitors found the animals on the island. From him the islands were more famous, and originated the hog money; coins stamped with a hog one side and a ship on the other, which still are preserved in various collections. "The islands were settled through the efforts of Sir George Somers, who became impressed with their fertility and beauty during a sojourn enforced by the wrecking of the ship which was carrying him to Virginia."

Count Von Berchtold Solely Responsible for Outbreak of Hostilities. Vienna.—There were made public from the archives of the former Austro-Hungarian government minutes of the meeting of the privy council on July 7, 1914, at which it was virtually decided to begin war on Serbia. According to this publication the ministry of Austria-Hungary, especially Count Leopold von Berchtold, foreign minister, was solely responsible for the outbreak of hostilities. The minutes show the meeting to have been opened by Count von Berchtold, who pleaded for an immediate resort to arms against Serbia, stating that Italy and Roumania "could be compensated afterward for not having been consulted beforehand." Count Stephen Tisza, then Hungarian premier, opposed the war, demanding that diplomatic action be taken first and then that an ultimatum of an acceptable nature be sent. Only in case both failed would he have resorted to arms. Count von Berchtold thereupon said: "Now, the right moment because Germany is ready to assist." Count Tisza against armed against the danger of a general European war as a result of steps which were contemplated, whereupon Count von Berchtold said: "The opportunity is so favorable that immediate action is necessary." Finally a resolution was adopted that such far-reaching demands be made of Serbia that she could not fulfil them. If she would be opened to a resort to arms. Maybe the Next Batch of Pets Will Be Skunks Portchester, N. Y.—It will not be possible to keep goats in tenement houses hereafter if the board of health has its way. After pigs were barred from dwellings during the influenza epidemic last fall, families adopted goats as pets. According to Sanitary Inspector Bitz, the animals are kept on second, third and even fourth floors. He suggests that they be licensed, the same as dogs. HUNT SHIP, OBEYING SPIRIT Message From Other World Says Spanish Steamer Valanbara Did Not Sink. Havana.—Chartered by members of the Dr. Antonio Valetti society, an organization of spiritualists, a tugboat is expected to leave this port shortly in search of the long overdue Spanish steamship Valanbara, which official reports declare sank recently near Key West, with the probable loss of all on board. The spiritualists claim to have received a communication at a recent re-entry from the spirit of Doctor Valetti that the Valanbara was still afloat near Cape Sal. They declare it their belief that the steamship still is helplessly drifting at sea and that, while many of those on board have perished, 30 survivors have been picked up by a small schooner which is proceeding to some distant port. Sunday Funerals Barred. Mobile, Ala.—Burial of the dead here on Sundays punishable by a fine of $100 under a city ordinance just adopted.

MARKS SPOT OF YANKS' LANDING France Lays Cornerstone of Monument at the Pointe de Grave. President Poincaré Urges Both Nations to Guard Against Extrainment—Lafayette Sailed for America From Same Port. Polite 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 on the spot of the first contingent of American troops in 1917. Speeches by President Poincaré 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 Poincaré 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 Marine in 1918. Distinguished Gathering. In addition to Premier Clementeau, 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 some 3,000 witnessed the ceremony. President Polincare in his speech called 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.' To you 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 to himself had given it a great honor to himself that he had 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.

RICHEST OF NATIONS Germany Holds Second Place and England Third, According to Professor Stamp's Statistics. London...While the brain might reel at the many figures unloaded at a meeting of the Royal Statistical society, some interesting details as to the world's wealth can be extracted from a paper written by Prof. J. C. Stamp. Comparing the prewar wealth and income of England, Germany and the United States, Professor Stamp computes the respective totals at: England ..... $71,500,000,000 Germany ..... $2,769,000,000 United States ..... $210,000,000,000 On a per capita basis also, America comes out easily the richest country in the world. The capital per head of the population, according to Professor Stamp, was, before the war: England ..... $1,500 Germany ..... $1,250 United States ..... $2,120 All these figures must be considerably inflated to obtain the current year's capital and income, but the increase would certainly be biggest in the case of the United States, which could boast at least treble its prewar wealth. The thrirty habits of the French nation are reflected in Professor Stamp, in a capital of $1,515 per head, while Italy and Australia head up with $605, respectively. He computes Japan's capital at $12,000,000,000, or on a per capita basis, $220 and $803 income per head of population. The capital and income of Spain was probably as low as any in Europe, the income per head not exceeding $55. HELP GERMANS TO FIGHT FIRE West Pointers and American Doughboys Go to Aid of Moravian Colony. Coblenz, Germany—Two hundred officers who recently were graduated from West Point military academy, joined hands with hundreds of American doughbags and civilians in fighting a fire which threatened to destroy the Moravian colony, an ancient order of religious workers at the Neuwied headquarters of the First division. The West Polaters, who are on a tour of the battlefields and the occupied area, were attending a dance given in their honor when the fire was discovered just after midnight. The flames go beyond the control of the West Pointers and the West Polaters and the doughbags were summoned by Col. Stephen O. Fugus, chief of staff of the division, to aid in quenching them. The Americans fought the fire until daylight, when it was brought under control. The blaze was confined to one block. Several buildings devoted to the industries of the Moravians were destroyed. FAMINE RAGES IN PETROGRAD ately High. Stockholm—Famine in Petrograd has attained terrifying proportions and an epidemic of dysentery is beginning to rage throughout the city, according to messages received here. M. Zinovieff, bolshiev governor of Petrograd, issued a proclamation to animal organizations and the corn production, which she said the population of the city was receiving famine rations. Food prices in the Russian capital became fantastic when the rations were reduced recently, the dispatches say, a small lump of sugar costing from $5 to $6 and a pound of white bread selling at $60. Aged Woman Picks Berries. Hazleton, Pa.—Mrs. Mary Stephansky of Eckley, although ninety years of age, still helps to add to the family earnings by picking buckleberries in the woods near the mining village every day. This has been her annual practice ever since she came to America long ago. Despite her advanced ability she is still very active and able to get her work with the ability of women in the stories.

SAYS GROOM Cleveland Couple Appar Garbed as for Informal Picnic and Bridegroom Holde: 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 Falkbanks, 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, in a plain flannel shirt, an shoes and an army shirt and a black string necktie. And his bridegroom’s age—twenty-three—was dressed in gingham, as if for an informal picnic. Furthermore, the young man volunteered a little lecture on the art 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 plano on the floor above us would be going after eleven at night." "Well, you're the first of your kind I've ever seen," said Mr. Fairbanks. "You hope you won't miss—er—what you seem to scorn." "We don't," 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 cow. His probable fate flashed 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 reounding thud. He escaped uninjured with his feelings ruffled. To make matters worse Bossy retained ownership of the ladder, which she carried away on her horns. She was caught after she had gone a quarter of a mile. THIS GRAFTING IS Q. K. Horticulturist Experiments With Potato-Tomato Vine Yankee ingenuity and American "grifting" promises to solve the all-absorbing question of the high cost of living. It has become known at Oneida, N.

Wheeler has grafted a tomato vine to a potato plant which bears fruit. Locust Bite Fatal. The bite of a 17-year locust caused the death of the two-months-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Kunkel, Kempton, Pa. The injury was discovered when the mother went to the infant's crith in the morning. The baby's face was swollen. The mother picked it up and found the locust in the clothing.

How Villa and His Men Foil Pursuit. Bandits Scatter' and Hide as Federals Appear—Brown Uniforms Ald. Juarez, Mex. — Francisco Villa's method of evading pursuit by Mexican government troops is almost identical with that used by a covey of quail to escape the hunter. Even the detail of protective coloring has been applied by Villa for his men always wear brown cotton clothing which blends with the desert landscape and dust clouds through which they travel in campaign. Hunters know that the quail's instinct directs it to scatter when danger approaches and seek cover in the near-by landscape. Villa and his rebel bands do the same thing when a superior federal column approaches. Often Villa's band will number 2000 men under his chiefs, Angeles, Lopez, Diaz and Garcia. They make a column which collins across the plains like a giant snake and leaves a great dust cloud in its wake. But let General Castro's government troops approach with artillery, machine guns and cavalry mounted on former American army horses and the column will break up into little bands under petty chiefs, will disappear in mountainous canyons and go into hiding until the federal pass. Once the danger of attack is over the column reassembles, occupies some town in its path and again disappears with its loot. Villa's men have been known to hitch their horses to plows in the fields of the irrigated districts and be industriously plowing when the federal scouts appeared. They have learned various tricks of deception during the years of evading the federal authorities, and with them so they may transform themselves into wood venders on occasion. CAPT. KIDD'S SPOOK SWINDLE Pirate's Ghost Induces "Suckere" to Purchase Farm—Found No Treasure. Trenton, N. J.-Capt. Kidd's spirit is not a reliable witness as to where the redoubtable pirate buried his treasure, in the opinion of Sophie Sauter and Marie Blumer of Paterson and Fred Lechers of Elizabeth, who appealed to the supreme court against both the spook and his alleged sponsor, Daniel Balsinger of Oakland, N. J. The three took a chance and bought a farm from Balsinger in May, 1913, on the strength of his assurance that Capt. Kidd's spirit had appeared to him in the night and revealed the exact spot on the farm where he had buried whole chests of pieces of eight. They do not wish to pay the balance due now because they have dug up the entire farm without finding a single doubloon. Pilloried in Church If They Associate With American Soldiers.

On several occasions the names of girls who associate with Americans have been read to the congregations at Sunday morning church services. In other villages the practice is to post the girls' names in public places. Black lists of the girls' names are being kept for use after the Americans are gone $2.00 PER YEAR. WOULD LOCALIZING MEAT TRADE PAY? Senator Currie, Stock Raiser of Nebraska, Makes Experiment. 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 $7.90 per hundredweight. Among these was one cow which he wished to have himself for beef. This cow weighed 840 pounds and therefore brought him $66.36. 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 Omaha and Minneapolis. The carcass had the same ranges of about $6.00, cost him $60.11 $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, $68.38, 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 Theford 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 packer's price of approximately $54.00 (which is derived by deducting the express charges to Theford, $6.00, from the price the carcass was sold to him, $80.11). 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 CONTRASTING 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. a ci i aia acl ia a awn ee SO ? one so $ SS . aS MINNESOTA — RERNR 9 oleae and a oe ; KisTORICa, x E fj) In business, fortunes are not -realized BS {| : men 2 | If you have ought that’s fit to sell, : Fe Unless: your goods are amply avvartised.

How Villa and His Men Foil Pursuit. Bandits Scatter? and Hide as Federale ‘Appear—Brown Uniforme Ald. Juarez, Mex. — Francisco Villa's method of evading pursult by Mext- can government troops is almost iden tleal with that used by a covey of quall to escape the hunter. Even the detail of protective coloring has been applied by Villa, for his men always wear brown cotton clothing which blends with the desert Iandseape and dust clouds through which they travel in campaign. Hunters know that the quall’s in- atinet directs it to scatter when dan- Ser approaches and seek cover in the nearby landscape. Villa and his reb- el bands do the same thing when a superlor federal column approaches. Often Villa’s band will number 23000 men under his chiefs, Angeles, Lopez, Diaz and Garcia. They make a cot umn which ¢plls across the plains like a giant snake and leaves a great dust cloud tn its wake. “But let General Castro's government ‘oops approach with arthiiery, ms- aime guns and cavalry mounted on former American army horses and the column Will break up into little bands of 100 under petty chiefs, will disap- pear in some mountain canyons and go into hiding until the federats pass. Once the danger of attack is over the column reassembles, occuples some town in its path and again disappears ‘with its loot.

But would it pay? Tried to Bulld Up Local Market, Experimentation and testing 19 doubtless the best teacher. And in- quiring minds heve not hesitated to dig into the matter. Senator F. Mf. Currle of Broken Bow, Neb., himselt 8 stock raiser, relates a bit of expe- Hlence of his own along this line, He tried for years, ho 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 pack- ers could pay us more for our cattle on foot, and sell the product to our Jocal butchers. for less money than they (the butchers) could pay us for our cattle and slaughter the beef them- selves.” 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 $7.90 per hundred- welght, Among these was one cow which he wished to have himself for beef. ‘This cow weighed 840 pounds ‘and therefore brought him $69.88. The animal was tagged and the Identical carcass was shipped to him by ex- press to Thedford, Neb., and charged to him at the prevailing whole sale price ‘of such meat on that day In Kansas City, Omaha and Minneapolts. ‘The carcass included carrying charges of about $8.00, cost him $0011, or 3625 tess than he sold the animal for in Onhaha. What Cow Would Cost Consumer. “Now,” continues the Senator, “‘sup- pose a consumer in Omaha had or- @ered this meat direct trom me, and T had slaughtered the beat at the ranch and sent the meat direct to the com sumer. ‘Taking as a basis the price received for this cow in Omaha, $08.38, less the frelght of 17% cents per hun: dred, it would make the cow worth on the ‘ranch $85.00.” To this $05.00 he adds $2.00 for slaughtering at home and $6.00 for ex- press 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 Omha, as against the packers’ price of approximately $54.00 (which is derived by deducting the ex- press charges to Thedford, $6.00, trom the price the carcass was sol6 to him, $00.11). Cheaper to Buy Than Kill. “After thorough investigation,” the Senator says, “I am convinced that 1t does not pay for us to slaughter Gur own meat at the ranch; that we would better shi our cattle to Omaha, and buy our beef from the packer. T have been engaged in the cattle producing ‘business all my life; there 1s-mo particular reason why T should be friendly to the packers, bat Iam thoroughly convinced I am re- @iving, and always have received more for my cattle on foot, than if T hhad been able to sell direct to the con- ‘sumer, and consequently the consumer hhas been able to buy my product for ess money through the packer than under any other system which tg known to business up to the presént time.” SENATOR KENYON'S CONTRAST- ING VIEWS, ‘Just’ what 1s the purpose of the Kenyon bill now in hearing at Wash- {ington would be hard to deduce from ‘Senator Kenyon’s own statemants. In the bill stsélf the purpose is set forth as follows: “To stimulate the pro- ductién, sale, and distribution of live stock and live stock products, and for other purposes.” This stimulation of live etock production may bé 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 ad- Gressed recently to the Wallace 7arm- ‘er he cays: ‘I do not belleve rizrelt that the situation as to restricted consumption is going to be changed ‘very much, and there will be the neves- sity of less production.” .Of course Jess production would supposedly niean higher ‘prices for live stock, bet also ‘Righer 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 oflier? Its not likely. Farmers ‘and consumers are both coming to the Feallzation that hampering the pack- ers is not going fo bring higher prices for live. stock nor lower prices for ‘Bieat, but quite the opposite, AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J.

SATURDAY, JANUARY, 31, 1920. THE "NIGGER" IN THE SEGREGA TWOODPILE. "Prof. Neval H. Thomas, a school teacher in Washington and an active member of its N. A. A. C. P., concludes a vigorous news article published in the Cleveland Gazette with words which answer the boasts of those who get money for institutions and houses for Colored people that keep the races apart. Says Prof. Thomas: "I have heard many silly Negro advocates of segregation boast of how much money they can raise for a Negro enterprise, too blind to see that most any white man will contribute liberally to any movement that will keep Colored people away from him and make them acknowledge their inferiority. In fact, the most dangerous have to contend, and the most serviceable capitalistic tool, is organized charity. The large donors to these Negro "charities" are making profitable investments when, through some well-paid Negro, they can establish a separate Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A. social settlement, or school. These institutions aid in keeping the toiling masses apart, so that, on the principle of "divide and conquer," these wealthy "donors" can exploit. So, the collection of large "contributions" by these Negro segregationists is no achievement, but another barrier to the progress of the race. I well remember how one of these international "secretaries"-boasted of getting the money to build a Negro Y. M. C. A. in the great city of Chicago. If that institution remains there long the great civil rights law of Illinois will be null and void. Already its presence there has popularized a movement for separate schools and segregation as to homes for our people. "No, our solution is not surrender, but FIGHT!" Let the churches and welfare clubs of Cleveland exert extra activity for the moral betterment of Cleveland's youth, and your press, pulit, your ballot, and every other power within you. Agitate for admission into the associations who bear the name of Jesus who was "no respector of persons," until they acquire a sense of shame." COLORED MAN INVITED TO FRANCE.

"With 3,000,000 men lost in the war, France is poor in manpower. We need 2,000,000 men to help in the reconstruction of France. The only country that can supply that manpower is the American colored people. The colored Americans are very much dissatisfied, and there is much unrest among them on account of the way they are treated by white Americans. In some parts of America black men are lynched every day. In France they are treated the same as any other Frenchman. In our hotels and all other places there is no discrimination.

Trotter, editor The Guardian, Boston, Mass. AMERICANIZATION It is quite refreshing and encouraging to every once in a while find a man who has the courage of his convictions and is not afraid to "speak right out in the meeting." At a recent meeting of the civic forum in St. Paul there was such a man in the person of Rev. F. M. Eliot, pastor of Unity Church. He was speaking on Americanization work and among other things said: "Until the American people give the colored man in this country the rights guaranteed to him by the constitution, we must speak of Americanization work with a sense of shame and guilt." "We have failed to do our duty toward the colored man. Americanization work is a big seal and enthusiasm of all. The first step in any effort at Americanization of others is the thorough Americanization of ourselves." FEDERAL ACT URGED. What appears to be a real effort, is being made for the enactment of Federal legislation to check lynching and race rioting, and a hearing was had before a Senate judiciary subcommittee recently that is hoped will bear fruit. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, is the author of the resolution bearing on these foul blots on American civilization. This country has taken great interest in the woes of people outside of it, while shuiting their eyes to worse conditions right here at home. Strong efforts were made to have the United States intervene in Mexico because a half a dozen Americans were killed there, while right here at home during about the same period three dozen 100 per cent Americans were lynched just because their skins were not white. It is beyond our comprehension how the government of this country can allow the state of affairs within its borders to continue as it is. It certainly is time that the thinking, fair-minded people awake from their lethargy and put a stop to such inhuman unAmerican actions. There is no sense in beating about the bush, nothing is ended that is not ended right and the sooner we have the beginning of the end the better it will be for us all. CODE OF HONORABLE NAMES. Recently a valued exchange contained the following: 'My name for every true man in these United States will be the honorable name of "American." My reference to all "new Americans" born in other lands shall never be dishonored by slurs, nicknames or hyphens. My purpose shall be to discourage in the native born the love for titles, to help every immigrant to forget his hyphen and be proud of the name American and to stamp out the use of such nicknames as words of derision of the foreign-born. We pledge our service never to use, and to discourage everywhere, the use of such words as Dago, Dutchy, Froggy, Ginny, Greaser, Heiny, Horat, Hunky, Kike, Mick, Paddy, Sheny, Spaghetti, Wop, as applied to any foreign-born resident of the United States of America. With all of which we heartily agree, but we would have been much better pleased if the list had included some of the nicknames that are so frequently applied to a class of native born 100 per cent Americans, viz: " Negro, nigger, darkey, coon, shine, moke, dingy, pickaninny, etc., and as abnoxious as those named are to the class to which they are applied.

It is with considerable regret and chagrin that we note the defeat of the amendment to the Each railroad bill offered by Congressman Madden of Illinois, designed to do away with the jim crow accommodations now supplied to colored people on railroads in the south. The jim crow law never should have been conceived, much less enacted, as it is absolutely WRONG and caters to a prejudice as wrong as itself. Once, some years ago, it will be remembered, there were several colored members of Congress elected by the majority vote in their several districts, just as the members of the present Congress were but if those men were living now, they would not be allowed to travel in the South without being humiliated and outraged by being forced into jim crow cars just because they had a visible admixture of African blood in their composition. The present Congress had an opportunity to correct this great wrong but refused to do so, because the southern members did not want it. There is a majority of members in the present Congress who are members of the Republican party, the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Phillips, Roosevelt, etc., presumably advocates of justice to all men, and the most faithful allies of that party had good reason to expect justice at their hands. They did not get it and cannot forget that fact. A GALLED JADE WINCES About the best thing we have seen lately appeared in a contemporary which sizes up present day conditions so completely that we republish it: A bank wrote one of its customers requesting money or additional collateral security on outstanding loans and he wrote a characteristic letter. It is of no *concern* who wrote the letter or where the bank was located. The interest lies wholly in the situation described in the reply, which is couched as follows: "For the following reasons I am unable to comply with your request: "I have been held up, hold down, sand-bagged, walked on, sat on, flattened out and squeezed. First, by the United States Government for federal war tax, the excess profit tax, the Liberty Loan Bonds, thrift, capital stock tax, merchant's license and auto tax, and by every society and organization that the inventive mind of man can invent, to extract what I may or may not possess. "From the Society of John, the Baptist, the G. A. R., the Woman's Relief, the Navy League, the Red Cross, the Black Cross, the Purple Cross, the Double Cross, the Children's Home, the Doreas Society, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the Boy Scoots, the Jewish Relief, the Belgian Relief and every hospital in town. Then, on top of it all comes the Associated Charities. "The Government has so governed my business that I don't know who owns it. I am inspected, suspected, examined and re-examined, informed, required and commanded, so I don't know who I am, where I am, or why I am here. All I know is that I am supposed to be an inexhaustible supply of money for every known need, desire or hope of the human race; and because I will not sell all I have and go out and beg, borrow or steal money to give away, I have been cussed, discussed, boycotted, talked to, talked about, lied to, lied about, held up, hung up, robbed and nearly ruined, and the only reason I am clinging to life WHO DARES who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be Is to see what the Hell is coming next." That is certainly just about as we feel about the unhappy conditions existing now-a-day. In the midst of the base, unjust, unAmerican talk about race segregation, which Southern whites have started in Chicago, the statement of a member of an oppressed race, sounds like a voice of fairness in the wilderness of race prejudice. A great bullabaloab was raised over the sale by Rabbi Hirsch of his former residence at 4612 Grand Boulevard, to a colored man. It was considered a matter of sufficient importance to warrant the sending of a reporter of the Chicago Tribune to interview the seller. Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, the famous Jewish leader, was asked by the reporter: "What are your views on race segregation?" Rabbi Hirsch replied: "From my point of view we are all alike. Colored people are just as good as whites. I would rather have a good black neighbor that a poor white one." THE BOYS' CLUB FEDERATION. THE APPEAL is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Frank G. Patchen, of the boys' Club Federation (Bureau of Information), 110 West 40th Street, New York, N. Y., asking for its cooperation in the efforts of the Federation to solve the vital problem of the "under-privileged" boy, one of the greatest human problems that our country is facing. He states that in no sense does the work of the organization conflict with that of the Church. On the contrary, it is an aid to the Church, reaching material that neither the Church nor Church clubs can successfully reach and without bias, placing that material in the hands of the Churches for "spiritual guidance, distributing to each Church its own, "WITHOUT REGARD TO CREED, RACEED OR COLOR." Elsewhere in our columns we publish an article that tells of the Federation and it is hoped that some of our good citizens will interest themselves to the extent of writing to Mr. Patchen to learn the plans upon which the desired co-operation may be given. SINISTER SAY JAMAICANS Public opinion in Jamaica is growing stronger against the suggestion that "Jamaica should be annexed for commercial and political purposes to Canada. The author of the suggestion, John Crowe, a Newfoundland millionaire, is referred to in an article in the Kingston Gleaner as follows: "Mr. Crowe's object is not the improvement of local conditions and the strengthening of our producers, a most important matter, but some pernicious political change, to be brought about for a purpose imminent to the true welfare of the island." Of the 90,000 inhabitants of Jamaica, only 15,000 or 20,000 are whites. The 885,000 colored Jamaicans would do well to keep their weather eye open—there may be some jimcrow scheme in the Canada wood pile. THE ONLY SOLUTION Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Stidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Stidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored at that happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. The balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." Jesse Binga, a colored Chicago banker offers a reward of $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the bomber of his home, December 22. Mr. Binga might get some information by interrogating some of the members of the various "improvement associations" which have been organized in his neighborhood. Mrs. Edith Kermit Roosevelt, widow of Theodore Roosevelt, is president of the association of gold star mothers and fathers organized in New York to oppose the return of bodies of American soldiers killed in France. THE APEAL believes that the colored people should oppose the return of the bodies of colored soldiers who were killed in France fighting for "democracy" to the U. S. A. This country is no place for a colored man when alive if he believes in democracy and certainly the relatives of those who were killed should be proud of the fact that they are buried in free soil and their remains rest in peace. Some colored men, particularly the jimcrowts, are throwing up their hats and shouting for different Republicans who "have been mentioned" for the Presidential nomination. The sane way would be to stop, look and listen. It will be time enough to shout, when some candidate comes out boldly and announces that he will, if elected, recommend the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment and use his influence with Congress to see that it is enforced, and also to endeavor to secure the repeal of all jimcrow laws and the abolition of all segregation regulations. That's the kind of man to shout for. THE BOYS' CLUB FEDERATION. 110 West Fortieth Street, New York City. The Boys' Club Federation of New York is planning for a wide extension of its work during the coming year, in the interest of the 6,000,000 underprivileged boys of America, whose involvement in the war, is said to be a vital one. The institution is believed to be necessary if these are to be reclaimed and moulded into men of character and useful citizens. The Federation is a national organization with a large membership, operating without profit to itself, supported by voluntary contribution, its aim being to give practical directional training opportunities, to build him up physically and to carry him over the danger period of his youth. As a result of such training, it has been shown by statistics, juvenile delinquency has been materially reduced, a real interest aroused in the wholesome things under the influence of boys of this class under the influence of girls, are soon weaned from the street and prepared for future citizenship. The Boys' Club Federation ordinarily is housed in a building with gymnasium, library, game rooms and a central nominal dues of 5 or 10 cents a month. The Federation club is non-sectarian and co-operates with all church denominations and welfare organizations. The body's kind that takes the boy under 12 years of critical age for the lad of unlimited opportunities—as well as of all other ages, and moulds him with reference to special needs. His spiritual needs are met in the church churches, and many boys without religious home influences or training are thus brought into the fold-boy that, in the majority of cases, could not attend the church training channel. One of these federated alone, located in New York City, has an active membership of 6,000 boys, most of whom otherwise would have been devoted to the call of the street with all its evil influences and consequences. It is estimate* that 66% of the boys of America belong to this class, a vast army for good or evil, and to bring the boys into the club. The lieged boys into club formation on a community basis—as broad and comprehensive as the public playground, though more intensive—is the task of the Boys Federation has set for itself. WILL H. HAYES Appoints Advisory Committee for G. O. P. of One Hundred Seventy-one Members. Chairman Will W.

"WET" STEAMER IN HARD LUCK Is Forced Back By Leak After Start for Cuba; Sealed by U. S. New York, Jan. 30.—Federal prohibition agents today were put on board the steamship Yarmouth to guard against the removal of a cargo of the warship at $4,900,000. The Yarmouth startled and the eighteenth amendment went into effect, but returned to port in tow after springing a leak off Cape May. It is anchored off the Statue of Liberty. The steamer Yarmouth belongs to the Black Star Line an organization of colored men. This boat which is of British registry is to be re-christened "Frederick Douglass." The colored citizens of Dover, Ohio, refused to send their children to a "jim-crow" school, so the school board was therefore compelled to abandon it. That's the way to fight jim-crowism.

No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. 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 word, which is so often used in effect 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 the people of color do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly ascribed to millions of colliery injurious, for the following: 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 assumed to have higher types to go to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofly," and its compounds, "Negrohead, Negrofly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly in their associations, degraded d. its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, you favor the use of the masculine form. e. 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 invariably wore the worthy he invariably was "colored." f. it is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Negro" and "Niggers." g. as stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation, the millions of colored Africans, Asians and Islanders of the Yonder world. on the Washington Bee. Bishop Sidney H. Bishop, colored Americans in the Southwestern 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' means. He knows that the manery and has in it the sting of liquid fire to every self-respecting Negro, must go." And the Bee assures that not only the word "nigger" must go 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 colorized Americans perpetuate them. For God's sake, give both terms a rest. "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one tenth of one per cent of the colored people in America can trace their descent to Africa, and there is no more right to be colored people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. Speaking at the A. M. E. conference at Indianapolis last week Bishop Copin said: "Some colored people say they belong to the exclusive class. Color are too far from the top of the ladder to talk foolishness of exclusiveness."

Defective Page THOMAS ON TERRELL. . (From the Boston Guardian.) In his correspondence for the Old reliable, Delaware Gazette, a paper which we greatly admire as we admire also its great editor, Hon. Harry Reilly, especially for his stand against the mischief of which he in separate philanthropic institutions, Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washington, D. C., flaws Judge (or justice as he calls him) Robt. H. Terrell as a co-owner. Prof. Thomas made a splendid fight against a separate lunch room in the District Supreme Court Building. He says Judge Terrell was quoted by the judges against him. He charges that Judge Terrell, North, opposed race petitioners to Peace Conference and then scores him for rushing to be the first to greet President Wilson upon his return from the war to see the world ourselves, are surprised to see the war with Terrell this sent his out over the country and the way the press displayed it. He says the Judge presided at a meeting for Sen. Boron to oppose his as follows: "He even sanctioned separate recreational centers for colored and white troops, with those of the colored immensely inferior, in spite of the colored white and black alike was flowed in from the son stream in distant France. Only agreeable colored people are allowed to speak to the colored soldiers at the center of which he is head. None of us radicals who are constantly telling the colored man that he has done his share of the dying and that it is high time he was taken to the center of the living, are ever invited to this center to talk democracy." We took our stand on this in Boston much farther North than Washington. The Judge needs make reply or the race will see how it is that this Southern administration retains a colored man as Justice. Is It Fair? To stand before the God of heaven and earth with trumpets and loud voice and proclaim: "Thank God we (U. S.) are not as other people are. We write upon our books laws granting to all our people equality." Then write other laws abrogating the pretense of our own power. And when you do not think it feasible to print, simply make it an unwritten rule that serves your purpose as well? To covet your neighbor's goods (rights) and if he should demonstrate with you, to slay him? For a so-called democracy to have two or more interpretations of the same word, each contrary to the other? To assert that a man is incapable of accomplishing a meritorious deed, without giving him an honest chance for a try. To call a man whose distant parents or parents had Negro blood a Negro and a white man whose parents Indian, Malay or Mongolian a white man still? Must Judge A Group by Its Best. (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 best; we compare many persons who live in the same place with those who 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 neighbors know, and of the two sets of people we should know the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know how to be the best of the race which others are oblivious 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 know how to observe 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 observation. If they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO." Hates the Term "Negro." Certainly Silly. WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.
