WINS CITATIONS FROM FRENCH If Accepted by Letts Twenty-Three-Year-Old Brooklyn Boy Will Have Served Under Four Flags in Four Years. Warsaw.-MaJ. Joseph C. Stehlin, a twenty-three-year-old aviator of Brooklyn, N. Y., who already has fought in three armies, has gone to Riga to enlist under the Lettish flag in the war against the Russian bolshevik. If his services are accepted, he will have served under four aviators in four years. The colors of France, America, Poland and Letvia, in turn, have won his allegiance. Since last fall Major Stehlin has been fighting in the aviation branch of the Polish army, and in that service took part in the Polish drive which threw the bolsheviks out of Dvinsk. Wins French Citations. Stehlin, who was formerly a life guard at Sheepshead bay, Brooklyn, went to France in January, 1917, and joined the French flying corps, where he won two citations and was promoted to be sergeant for aiding fellow aviators attacked by German planes. When the American army came over to France, Stehlin transferred his allegiance to the American flag, received a commission as first lieutenant of aviators, and took part in actions in the Champagne, Verdun and Solssons sectors. After the armistice he returned to the United States, and is said to have joined the aviation section of the New York police as a captain. Made Captain in Poland. Last September he joined the Polish forces recruited in New York, was commissioned as captain, came to Poland and was assigned to duty on the northeastern front. He spent four months with a Polish flying squadron, being the only American with the Poles on that particular front, and participated in all the aviation work preceding and during the Polish attack on the bolshevik in the region of Dvinsk. Stehlin has down over parts of France, Belgium, Spain, Russia, Poland, Lithuania and the United States, and has hopes soon of seeing Letvia and Riga from the air in his service with the Letts. Major Stehlin says he has no idea what vocation he will take up if the war should end over here, but he feels certain that he can never go back to the prosaic duties of a lifeguard at the beach. That game is not exciting enough for a man not yet twenty-four, who has fought under four flags. One Child to Family, Professor's Forecast New York.-The number of children will average less than one to a family two generations hence if the present birth rate decrease continues, according to Dr. Amy Hewes, professor of economics and sociology at Mount Hollyope college. The cause of the decline was attributed to economic conditions and late marriages. Dr. Hewes suggests as a solution early marriages. She said the obstacle to many marriages might be removed if the woman continued to work after she became a wife. NOISE COST RAILROAD $2,750 Maryland Woman Gets Vordict for Bell Ringing and Car Shifting at Night. Baltimore.—Mrs. Donald L. Symington of the Green Spring valley received a verdict of $2,750 from a jury in the suit against Walker D. Hines, federal railroad administrator, and the Pennsylvania Railroad company. Mrs. Symington asked for $25,000. Mrs. Symington charged that the ringing of a big bell, blowing of engine whistles and shifting of cars kept her family awake. Mrs. Symington also contended that a hedge on her property was destroyed and that a portion of her land was used by the company. Pig Lived a Month on Snow. Pierre, S. D.—A pig, on the Ourington ranch, in Haakon county seems to have as many lives as most cats and possibly may be superior in some respects to a whole lot of camels. The pig fell into a well and remained there for 28 days. During this time the owner searched and advertised for the missing porker. It was found by a dog, whose actions attracted a couple of children. Evidently the pig had lived on snow. It was weak, but willing to eat when hoisted from the well, for it had lost about 80 pounds. End of a Perfect Day. Cinchnatti, O.-Court paused while Van C. Johnson, aged seventy-two, a juror, sang, "The End of a Perfect Day," in celebration of the fact that he was concluding three months' jury service. All the jurors joined heartily in the chorus. SAY WIFE MUST WORK Forced to Support Husband If Out of Job. Soviet Marriage Code Provides Principals Must Support Each Other. London.—A Russian wife is required to support her husband if she be able to do so and he is unable to work and in need of her support, under the marriage laws of soviet Russia. A copy of this code, translated into English, has just reached London from the Russian People's Commissariat of Justice. It provides that married persons shall be expected to support each other. Should one refuse, and the other be what is classed as a "needful," unfit to work, the latter has the right to apply to the department of social security to compel the husband or wife, as the case may be, to pay support. Mutual consent of husband and wife or merely the desire of one of them to be freed from the other may be considered as grounds for divorce. Local judges are authorized to hear divorce cases, but their decisions are subject to appeal. The matrimonial age is fixed at 18 for men and 16 for girls. Both must be of sound mind and mutually desirous of marriage. Differences of religion or vows of celibacy are no impediment. Married persons may choose to bear the surname of the bride or the bridegroom, or of their joint names. Marriages contracted in accordance with religious forms are not binding unless the union is registered under the prescribed form of civil svetist marriages. Old forms of marriage law, or, as it is termed, "the legalized forging together of men and women," are abolished. Under the laws of succession in the soviet code, none but the "needful" and the state may inherit property. The estates of emigrants and of rebels are subject to confiscation by the state. STARTS LIFE ANEW American Red Cross Photo by: Western Newspaper Union One of the many "young men" of Roumania starting out to make his fortune. He is one of the thousands that American Red Cross relief workers met on the roads of Roumania. On his back, he carries his entire worldly possessions after a lifetime of steady work. He is only one of the thousands of war sufferers who are wandering along the roads seeking a place to settle down. He is a typical war refugee of the Balkans. BELGIUM TO GET U. S. CATTLE Chicago Among Cities From Which Regular Shipments Are to Be Made. New York.—A large and regular movement of cattle from this country, consigned to the Belgian government, will be started within the next few days, to continue throughout the greater part of the year. It is understood that these animals will be used to replace war losses. They are to go by way of Boston to Antwerp. The consigner is P. Burns & Co. of Calgary, Can. Shipments will be made from northwestern Canada, Kansas City and Chicago direct to the large stockyards near Boston. Between 3,000 and 4,000 head will be shipped each month. All of the cattle will be discharged at Antwerp. Wood Chopping Newest Fad. Los Angeles, Cal.-D. M. Linnard, manager of a string of California tourist hotels, has installed at Santa Barbara and Pasadena a common, old-fashioned wood pile, well equipped with axes of various weights and not too sharp. Guests are welcome to chop to their heart's content. Linnard is willing to furnish all the wood they want. It was Linnard who brought wood splitting to the masses—that is the masses of tourists. "Theodore, Roosevelt inspired the idea," Linnard said. "I believe wood-chopping the best of exercise and a heap of fun as well." Defective Page THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1920 Many Americans Said to Have Fallen Victims. Madrid Police on Trail of Gang That Operates "Dying Prisoner" Scheme. Madrid.—The "Spanish swindle" has shown its head again. America has been inundated with letters from "a dying prisoner, persecuted by political enemies, only able to communicate with the outside world through the kindness of a prison chaplain." The writer of the letter claims relationship with the person addressed and explains that a valise containing valuables has been concealed outside of Spain, the contents to be left to an only daughter and the American relative. Should the American reply, he later receives a letter from "the chaplain," stating that the prisoner is dead and that a certain sum is required to release the prisoner's baggage, including the mysterious valise. Fortunately when the correspondent reaches this point the "American relative" usually becomes curious and as a result the embassy in Madrid and the consulates throughout Spain have a flood of correspondence on the subject. In other cases the victim takes the bait without question and parts with his money, or even worse still, goes to the expense of traveling to Spain to pay the required sum to release the valise and claim his share of the contents. In the latter case the swindier is generally brought to book, for the Spanish police are on the lookout and the presence of a stranger looking for lost relatives arouses their suspicions. Recently an American arrived in Madrid with a certified check to claim his share of a prisoner's estate. The Spanish police put him in prison until he could be convinced that he had been the victim of a clever swindler. It took all the eloquence of an American consul to do this and induce the man to return home. MEXICAN WOMEN WAKING UP Organized Movement May Bring Better Understanding With United States. Mexico City, Mex—Mexican women are preparing to take a hand in public affairs. They intend first to attack social and industrial evils and later to make a fight for political equality. This is the program of the Mexican feminist council, a national organization with headquarters in Mexico City. The council does not believe that the mass of Mexican women are at present prepared for complete suffrage but hopes eventually to make them a vital political force. The present Mexican government looks with favor upon their efforts, according to Senorita Elena Torres, general secretary of the council. The feminist council has organized groups to teach Mexican women how their conditions may be improved industrially and socially. The next step, said Senorita Torres, will be organization of woman workers in industry. The council intends to bring the movement in contact with similar organizations in other countries and to work with the women of the world for peace and disarmament. Senorita Torres predicts that Mexican women will create a new era of amicable relations and a more complete understanding between Mexico and the United States. 250,000 Orphans Roam Homeless in Armenia Geneva.—Besides the massacring of 1,500,000 Armenians during the war, this people is being still further reduced by demobilized Turkish troops, who are killing them and robbing them of what is left of their possessions, says Dr. Kunzler, a Swiss pastor, who was in Armenia throughout the war. He made this statement in an address at Zurich. He said 250,000 homeless orphans are wandering about the country. Rips Off Skirt. Savea Boy. New York—Among the crowd that gathered when five-year-old Leonard Hopewell of 501 West One Hundred and Forty-seventh street, was run over by a trolley car at One Hundred and Forty-seventh street and Amsterdam avenue, was a woman who tore off her underskirt and fashioned a tourniquet, which she bound around the boy's right ankle. Surgeons at St. Lawrence hospital, who amputated his mangled foot, said the woman's action saved his life. She slipped away without revealing her identity. Infant In Red Cross Seattle, Wash.—May Rogavich entered the world at 2:21 o'clock one afternoon, gazed on things in Providence hospital a little time and at 6:11 o'clock in the evening joined the Red Cross. May Rogavich is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Rogavich, 110 West Crockett street, and weighed, when born, seven pounds and one ounce. The Red Cross has offered $10 to be paid during the present roll call drive to the youngest member enrolled. "Beat that," chuckled Mr. Rogavich when his daughter had been given the white-and-red button of membership. SEA SCAVENGER FRIEND OF MAN SEA SCAVENGER FRIEND OF MAN Expert Says Sharks Can Supply Good Food and Fine Leather. FLESH HAS DELICATE FLAVOR Scientist Gives Some Interesting Information About Fish Which Seems to Have Been Grosly Libeled—Particular About Food. New York.—From time immemorial the shark has been considered as an enemy to man and a scavenger of the sea. He has been pictured as the cannibal of the deep, and in fiction has been painted as the monster who lurks about the ill-fated ship in order to devour the unfortunate who may have met their death in a gale or on the reef. We, therefore, for generations have cherished an antipathy for this creature of the sea and have been very willing to accept as fact all of these stories, never stopping to consider that perhaps after all the shark might have a few points in his favor. To begin with, the shark does not live exclusively on the flesh of man, says Dr. Allen Rogers of Fratt institute, Brooklyn, in the current number of the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry of the American Chemical society. In fact, there are only a few species who would eat human flesh, even if it were possible for them to secure it. The principal species considered a man eater, the tiger shark, probably has seldom had the pleasure of this delicacy. Sharks, like all other fish, live on the smaller fish, thus upholding the proverb that the big fish eat the little ones. Sharks travel in schools or singly and are found most abundant where food fish are plentiful. They are especially fond of the mullet, menhaden, mackerel and sea trout. Thus it will be seen that they are migratory and at various seasons are found in different waters. They are naturally warmwater fish, which accounts for the large number to be found in the Gulf of Mexico, along the coast of Florida and the West Indies. Being rapid and powerful swimmers, they often follow ships for hundreds of miles, picking up food as it is thrown over the side of the vessel. Thus their diet at such times is not unlike that of our domestic hog and poultry. It is claimed by fisher folk that the shark will not eat unsound food, which 'shows him even more particular than our friend the worker. Why, then, if he is so clean in his habits of life, should we discriminate against him? The bureau of fisheries for several years has endeavored to interest the people in this country in using shark meat as an edible product, with a certain amount of success. In fact, that species of shark known as the dog fish is being canned in large quantities and sold under the name of gray fish. Certain fisheries on the New England coast are removing the head, tail and fins and selling the product in Boston and New York as deep-sea sword fish. Italians Eat 'Em In Boston, also shark meat is being sold as such to the Italian trade, who appreciate its food value and enjoy its delicate flavor. Why, then, should we not take a lesson from the Italians and acquire the shark-eating habit? For the last five or six years the writer has been interested in developing a method for converting shark skins into a merchantable leather. As a result of this work several processes have been devised which have been assigned to a company operating fisheries in the south. A conservative estimate indicates that for a catch of 2,000 sharks daily, at an average weight of 200 pounds, there would be 400,000 pounds of fish. As at least 50 per cent could be used for human consumption, we would have 200,000 pounds daily, or 73,000,000 pounds annually. Assuming that the market price could be set at 10 cents, we have a saving of $7,300,000. FAVOR TO KINGS IRKS SWISS Walver of Customs Rules at Frontier Sharply Criticized by Newspapers. Geneva, Switzerland.—An order issued to the troops and customs officials guarding the Swiss-German frontier that if the former kings of Bavaria and Wuerttemberg and the former grand duke of Baden desire to enter Switzerland with their suites all frontier formalities must be waived in their favor is causing considerable discussion in the Swiss newspapers. The order says the former monarchs and the one-time grand duke may come into Switzerland without being subjected to the usual procedure at the frontier. One of the newspapers in criticizing the order asks whether the Swiss government is democratic or monarchistic, Beneficent Work of the "Flu." Jackson, O.-Thirteen years ago Charles Holcomb lost his speech during an illness. He was drafted for service in the war but because he was dumb, was rejected. Some weeks ago he became a victim of influenza. He has now recovered, and finds that the "flu" brought back his speech. When he told his mother he was able to talk, she suffered nervous prostration from the shock. Is Taking Place of Oak for Furniture. Des Moines School Board Makes Interesting Post-War Discovery. Des Moines.—Desks and furniture in many of the Des Moines schools soon will be of American walnut, and the school board attributed the change from quarter-sawed oak to walnut to the war. The secretary of the board says he believes he was able to get walnut because it was supposed to have become so scarce that everyone had ceased to look for it. Incidentally, the walnut to be used has a varied traveling history. It was originally cut and seasoned for the United States government for airplane propellers. It had been sold by the United States to France, and when the war ended France turned the wood back to this country. It was sold and resold several times and was loaded for shipment to Chicago when the school board started out to buy quarter sawed oak to build desks and furniture. The oak, heretofore the standard for school furniture, was found to be too costly by the board of school commissioners. A few dealers submitted prices around $450 a thousand board feet and did not appear overly anxious for the order even at that figure. It was then that the secretary of the board heard of the shipment of walnut and investigated. He was immediately given a price of $320 a thousand feet and bought $10,000 worth of it. Since that time the board of commissioners has purchased a considerable quantity of unseasoned walnut to be made into school furniture at prices less than the seasoned wood cost. The school furniture is made by manual training instructors who are employed the entire year around in the schools, and in this way the cost of manufacture is reduced to about one-half. Since it has become known that the school board is buying walnut, the secretary of the board says, the price is going up, owing to the increased demand. Boy Scout Saves Mother and Pet Canary at Fire New York.-Fifteen-year-old Melvin Peterkin carried his mother, hysterical from fright, out of their burning home at 68 Dennington avenue, Woodhaven, Queens, and then, dodging past firemen, who would have intercepted him, rushed back into the blazing house and saved her pet canary. The fire, which started at 67 Dennington avenue, ignited the roof of the adjoining building and was crackling fiercely. In the attic when Melvin awoke. He found his mother, Mrs. Herbert Peterkin, in the next room and shouted to her to flee. She refused. The boy argued with her until the ceiling started to sag. Then he picked her up and, though she is twice his weight, bore her bodily to the street. Then he rescued the canary. The boy is a member of Troop 2, Woodhaven boys scouts. PROTESTANT INCREASE DROPS Gain In 1919 Only 56,000—Average for Last Ten Years Was 771,940. New York.—The smallest increase in Protestant membership in 30 years is recorded for 1919 in statistics compiled by Dr. H. K. Carroll, who prepared the first official census of religions made public by the Christian Herald. The increase for 1919 was only 56,000, as compared with the average increase for the ten years previous of 771,947. The slump started, he sald, in 1918, which showed an increase of only 155,000 members. Among the reasons assigned for the decrease were the interruption or suspension of regular work of many parishes by the war and the calling of pastors from their pulpits by the concentration of efforts in centenary and other gigantic drives for funds. WILD FOWL FROZEN IN ICE Trapped by Sudden Change In Temperature Hundreds Die In California. Chilco, Cal.—Frozen into the ice on Goose lake, hundreds of waterfowl died in a recent storm and dozens of birds were found on the windward side of the lake so securely caked in ice that they were helpless and could be picked up without resistance being offered. Large numbers of waterfowl were attracted to the lake preceding the storm by a warm spell, but with the sudden drop in temperature mud hens, geese and ducks were trapped without a chance to escape, and they were soon covered with an ice spray into which they were frozen.

RUSS TELLS OF SOVIET HORRORS Ergo the more than e to ac- Prisoner Free Too Late to See Dying Brother walk no -a dip --- WAR ACTIVITY HUMS Warsaw Is Crowded With Poverty-Stricken Refugees. Women and Children Sleep on Straw-Covered Basement Floors. Warsaw.—Warsaw is humming with war activity and is crowded to its very doors with hordes of poverty-stricken refugees from the areas for which the Poles and bolshevkii are fighting. Travelers say it is the most crowded city in eastern Europe. The population is estimated to have increased from 800,000 to 1,300,000 since the world war began. Everywhere there are officers and soldiers. Military automobiles, tractors and various other vehicles of war traverse the streets all day and most of the night. The cafe life is as bright and gay as ever, but the restaurants and theaters close at 10 p. m. to save food, light and labor. The refugees from the war-stricken areas began streaming into the city a year ago and have been coming ever since, hoping to find food and places to sleep. The problem of providing for them has haffled the city officials. In the poorer districts basements which for generations were used for storage purposes have been used for refugees' sleeping quarters. In instances fifteen to twenty persons, and even more, sleep on a basement floor, on straw. Others have found shelter in stables or in buildings intended for schools. Many of these refugees are women with children who have come out of the east virtually without funds. During the day these people are partly supplied with food by the municipality or some of the welfare organizations. Many exist only by begging. Warsaw's tenements, always crowded as New York's east side has been for years, are jammed with humanity as never before, and during the severe winter weather, when there was an epidemic of influenza here, old men and women and children died by the hundreds every day in this land of the poor. City officials see no relief in sight until warmer weather comes, when they hope the people will gradually begin leaving for the country to work on farms. WOODEN SHOES NEXT Woe be unto shoe profiteers if all Americans take to the Dutch wooden shoes as readily as has this young lady. Although a bit clumsy it is believed that many would rather undergo the little discomfort of wooden shoes than dispose of a veritable fortune to acquire the others. Moreover after a morning walk no expensive shines are necessary—a dip in the water does the trick. MAN FALLS, LANDS ON GIRL Typist as a Human Cushion Saves Window Cleaner's Life on Trenton Street. Trenton, N. J.—Acting as a human cushion, Miss Helen Kugler, a pretty, young state-house stenographer, probably saved the life of Augustus Miller, a window cleaner, when the latter, while at work on a second story window of an office building fell and landed on the young woman as she was passing. Miss Kugler, with breath almost knocked out of her, fell into the street and Miller landed on his feet. The girl, except for being badly shaken, was unharmed and was able to go to the state house and finish her work. Miller's left foot was sprained and he went to a hospital for treatment. Flying Cost Soars Higher. San Francisco—The high cost of flying went up a notch here. Companies engaged in commercial aviation published a tariff increasing the price of ten-minute "sight-seeing" flights 25 per cent to $12.50 and fixing the price of the same period of "stunt" flying at $20. Increased cost of airplane parts, operation and upkeep was given as the reason. $2.00 PER YEAR Noted Writer, Just Before Death, Asked U. S. Not to Be Deceived. LIES ARE SENT BROADCAST "No Words to Describe Darkness Around Us," Is Assertion of Plea Made by Leonid Andriev, the New York.—"S. O. S," a remarkable literary document by Leonid Andriev, written by the great Russian novelist and short story writer just before his death recently, has been received in this country by the American Central Committee for Russian Relief, with headquarters in the Hotel Buckingham, New York. Andriev's message, like a voice from the dead, describes the blight of bolshevism over his country. Andriev had been a pacifist, as shown by his play "The Red Laugh," published during the Russo-Japanese war, but he came out strongly for the allies and their cause. His pen was also turned against bolshevism with telling effect. Appeals to America. In one paragraph the writer makes a direct appeal to America in these words: "And you, every individual American—I call to you. You are young and rich, you are broad in spirit and energetic, you desire that the torch of your freedom shall throw its light on distant Europe also—come then and see in what agony we are, in what inhuman servitude our body and our spirit are struggling. If you would but see, I assure you, you would be terrified and you would curse those deceivers and liars who have represented this most evil tyranny to you as a break on the part of the whole Russian people for liberty." Andrelev explains the title of his appeal thus: "Like a wireless operator on a sinking steamer that through the night and the darkness sends the last calls, Quickly to our ald. We are sinking. Save our souls, so also I moved by my faith in human clemency, throw into the dark space my prayer of perishing human beings. If you but knew how dark the night is around us! There are no words to describe this darkness." "It is not assistance for the Russian people that I implore of you. But here are these thousands, 'more or less', who have but one life, which is but an instant, and who are perishing every hour in unbearable suffering, or who live, but in a way worse than death. It is of no importance that they are called Russians, but it is of importance that these human beings, whose sufferings began so long ago and continue endlessly, continue without a gleam of light, as in a real hell, from which malignant, terrible forces rule unchallenged. "There is still time to shorten their sufferings; there is still time to remove the menace of death from their heads, and it is for the saving of their souls that I send forth my human prayer." To give assistance to these suffering Russians in non-bolshevik territory the American Central Committee for Russian Relief was formed, with prominent Americans at the head of it. Charles W. Ellot, president emeritus of Harvard, is the honorary president; Elihu Root, Samuel Gompers, John R. Mott and Cyrus H.

New York—Judge Malone granted permission to Thomas Corcoran, a prisoner in the Tombs, to go to the bedside of his sick brother John, at 250 Park place, Brooklyn. He arrived in charge of prison guards soon after the death of his brother from pneumonia. The brothers were arrested March 4 in connection with a safe burglary at the office of James R. Deering, 135 Broadway, in which $5,000 was stolen. Each was committed to the Tombs in default of $10,000 ball. Later John became ill. His ball was reduced to $1,000, which was furnished. Warsaw.—Reports that gold has been struck near the village of Miechgow in the Cracow region, have reached this city and quite a great deal of excitement has been caused by the announcement. Dispatches from an American Red Cross unit in that section confirm earlier rumors of the gold strike. Pumpkin Eaters Spoll a Record. Cynthia, Ky.—J. L.

The two candidates who replied to the Association's questionnaire were Senators Harding and Poindexter, the former stating that it was not consist- ent with his views to take up the cate- gorical questions asked by the Associ- ation, that conventions are called upon to enunciate platforms and poli- cies and that the candidate selected must be expected to stand on the plat- form thus made.

By combining with a downstate leader he will be able to control the great state of Illinois and will name the delegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention. The imbecile Republicans who endeavored to read Thompson out of the party, charging him with being pro-German during the war, have been licked to a frazzle. It is very gratifying to THE AP. PEAL to note that Thompson has been able to win in spite of the opposition of the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Dally News and other hypocritical newspapers, which for political rea sons questioned his loyalty.

The district around Wendell Phillips is rapidly becoming settled by colored people, and there are comparatively few white pupils. ‘They are getting fewer and fewer. “The time is near at hand when we shall need another high school farther south to take care of the increased white population there, A modern igh school located somewhere near Fiftieth street will be necessary soon and should be included in the Chi- cago Plan. Wendell Phillips will be then exclusively for colored pupils. They should be given the finest high school possible.” The Rev. William Covert, pastor of the First church, anounces a series of discussions on Sunday evenings to consider the duty of the church in the development of the Chicago Plan. Like nine out of every ten schemes for the degradation of the colored peo- ple it was suggested by a supposed friend and perhaps there is a “nigger in the woodpile” ‘That is perhaps Perrine had talked with some jimcrow “negro” who approved the outrageous plan, There are some jimcrow “negroes” in Chicago and in other cities including St. Paul and Minne. apolis. Like the majority of schemes for the degradation of the colored people it Was incubated in a so-called Church of Christ. Principal Perrine sad that the dis- trict was becoming settled by colored people and therefore Wendell Phillips THE MAN WHO DARES Lhonor the man who in the consci- entious discharge of his duty dares to stand aione; 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. High School should be made “colored.” That would be an outrageous perver- sion of the name, for Wendell Phillips was @ real Christian white man who devoted his life to work in righting the wrongs of his colored brethren. ‘There are neighborhoods in Chicago inhabited almost exclusively by Ital- fans, Chinese, Poles, Russians and other foreigners, but the thought never comes to Mr. Perrine or others of his ilk to restrict the children in those neighborhoods to “exclusive” Italian, Chinese, Polish or Russian schools. ‘The schools remain PUBLIC schools, open to all, ‘There has been much talk about the “Chicago Plan” and now we are get- ting some intimation that segregation ig to be a part of that plan. However we believe that the thinking colored people of Chicago have their eyes open and will be ready to fight jimcrowiza- tion of the schools. One thing that Mr. Perrine said is true: “The colored boys and girls are entitled to the best in the way of ‘equipment and teachers,” The colored children have the same rights as other children, no more and no less. To at tempt to segregate them fs to take from them their birthright. The only way they can get the “best” is to at tend the identical schools that other American children attend. A jimerow school built of gold and studded with diamonds would still carry with it the degradation for which it was designed. “ONE HALF OF THE WORLD DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES.” Most of the people in the United States who are not in the profiteer, or bloated bondholder class, cannot help wondering how their friends and neighbors live in these strenuous H. C. L, times? We believe we're having an awful time but how would it be with us if we had to pay as they do in Russia, The Russian ruble is nominally worth a trifle more than haif a dollar ot our money. Reckoned on that basis, bread in Russia is now selling at $225 a pound, flour at $250 to $350 a pound, beef at $275 to $300 a pound, pork at $360 a pound, salt at $150 a Pound, butter at $1,300 to $1,600 a pound, the cheapest tobacco at $2,500 to $8,000 a pound, cigarettes $5 to $6 each, and matches, half of which will not light, at $50 a box. Army ra- tions cost $400 to $500 a day for each man. Apparently, the cheapest thing in the country is paper with the ruble mark printed on it. All of which is to be commended to those who are preaching the superiority of the Soviet to the Republic, Editor Smith Also Outspoken. SESOER TRO SAOVOIBEG. NESSES, 11. Smith, Editor.) A few more loyal, able, aggressive, outspoken, fearless and unselfish mem: bers of the race like Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, Prof, Neval H. Thomas and Ed- itor Wm. Monroe Trotter would ac- complish more for the race in one year than a moving-van full of the “conservative” kind of “leaders,” in twenty years. The race has been greatly retarded in its progress, for years, and has often lost “ground” un- necessarily because it has been so un- fortunate as to have at times been mis- represented by the latter. Sane “radi- cal” leaders, of the kind mentioned, are needed more in this day and time than ever before and what is most en- couraging is the fact that they are slowly but surely increasing in num- ber and our people are at last begin- ning to appreciate them and what we have set forth in the foregoing.

Harrison of Chicago speak on the subject: “The Hour Has Come,” though, numerically it was very un- satisfactory to the speaker to the cause for which he spoke, Crispus At- tucks Home, and as an indication of the intelligence of the Saintly City's citizens, There has been a large number of the best colored speakers this coun- ty has produced in St. Paul on various Occasions but none brought a message of more import, nor delivered it in a clearer more pleasing and impressive manner than Judge Harrison did last week. It would be futile to attempt to tell what he said, the importance of what he said, and’the masterly manner in which he said it Judge Harrison fresh from a month's tour in Texas and the south, where he made a very excellent impression on the minds of the people both colored . he Pp _— oe. Me | i ae ed 4 é and white who had the blessed privi- lege of hearing him; and, certainly, it is to be deplored that a much larger number did not ayail themselves. of the glorious opportunity given to them in the Twin Cities, The speaker has a fund of excellent stories which point a moral, that he gave with great effect,. One of these, quite apropos, was the story of the great feast given by King Belshazzar of Babylon, when at the height of his glory, and when, as the ‘speaker put it, “the fingers of a man’s hand, without’ the man” wrote on the wall ‘of the banquet chamber: “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin” and which none of the King’s wise men could in- terpret. But Daniel, who was. called into the King’s presence, at the sug- gestion of the queen, was found to be ready and interpreted the words to say to the king, “Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.” The speaker emphasizes the neces. sity of the colored people to get ready so that when called upon in any field of endeavor they could answer: “Here am I, take me.” He further empha. sized the great need and advantage of proper home training as the best foundation to build upon for future success. He told of how he had come up from a barefooted boy to a judge- ship and admission to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States, ‘The Judge has a very pleasing stage Presence, and is a past master in thetoric, ‘diction and the use of the Queen's English making an address by him, ‘a thing of beauty and a joy for- ever.” He was fortunate in having Rev. T. J. Carr to introduce him as they were “college chums" and he could speak dy the card, having known him for many years. At the close of his ad- Gress Mrs. Dovie Welsh sang a solo as ouly she can, and responded to a hearty encore, ‘The genial Judge was then teridered a reception that showed the very fav. orable impression he had made upon his auditors as every one crowded forward to grasp his hand and tender words of congratulation and adulation, This was the third trip of Judge Harrison to the Twin Cities and the trite saying, “The third time is the charm” was most pleasingly verified. He may rest assured of a warm wel- come whenever he may come this way. P il () N « SUMMIT 80 ° T. S. 84.002 MINNESOTA MILK COMPANY LADIES!

Cedar 4622 Tri-State 21939 TS MOM THIS MAY CONCERN, St. Paul, April 22, 1920, Mr. Editor: My attention has been called to the ‘fact that it is being circulated around that I am personally oppos- ed to the re-election of Mr. Hodgson for Mayor. ‘This is an absolute dis- tortion of the truth, and I want the public, and particularly my friends to know that an attack of that na- ture is either based on ignorance, or is @ cowardly attempt to discredit the friendly relations that. exist be- tween the present city officials and myself. ‘My position as one of the senior architectural men in the employ of fhe elty has never depended on pol- ities. “My appointment five years ago ‘was the result of a competitive civil service examination in which I ranked frst on the list. My reten- tion and promotion from time to time has ‘been because I have so far suc- ceeded in properly and efficiently taking care of my work. I have served under three different commis- sioners, and have been promoted by each of them, including the present Commissioner, of Parks, Play- grounds and Public Buildings. As a citizen of St. Paul, I have the right to my own personal convictions in reference to how and for whom I shall cast my vote and I challenge any attempt to abridge my personal rights in such a matter. I am per- fectly able to follow the record of all candidates up for election and to per- sonally vote for those whom I feel "have done so and will continue work for a safe and sane administration of municipal affairs; who will unalt- erably stand for fair play to all class- es; who will advocate an economical expenditure of the people's money in the upbuilding and beautifying of our city, I believe in the theory of prac- tical organization for any people, and that of course includes us.
