IOWA BOY WINS ESSAY CONTEST IOWA BOY WINS ESSAY CONTEST Writes the Best Article in "Benefits of Enlistment in United States Army." BEATS TEN MILLION RIVALS Gets Free Trip to Washington and a Gold Medal From Secretary Baker —The Prize-Winning Essay. Washington, D. C.-Donald L. Campbell, a fifteen-year-old Clinton (Ia.) high school pupil, has been awarded first prize in the army national school essay contest for the best essay on the "Benefits of Enlistment in the United States Army." Ten million school children participated in the contest, inaugurated to stimulate enlistment in the army. Your, Campbell will receive from the war department a free trip to Washington, where Secretary of War Baker will pin a gold medal on his chest. Here's the Essay. Campbell's winning essay follows: "As Horace Greeley once said, 'Young man, go West,' we now say, 'Young man, join the army.' Why? It is the big opportunity of the age. 'Are you physically weak? 'Health is the first wealth,' and the army is a health builder. It provides wholesome food; clean, comfortable surroundings, proper clothing and medical attention when necessary. Physical exercise is compulsory, and every encouragement is given athletics. These, with outdoor life, make men straight, strong and healthy. 'Do you seek an education? 'You can attend school at any army post and study grammar and high school subjects. "Would you learn a trade?" "The government has recently appropriated $2,000,000 for the establishment and maintenance of vocational schools, where you can learn to be a mechanic, auto repair man, electrician, telegraph operator, chemist or almost anything else you wish. These courses prepare you for a return to civil life or continued service in the army. "Do you long for travel and adventure? "Join the army. You can be an engineer at the Panama canal, a wireless operator in the Philippines, a lineman in Alaska, or an aviator flying in the clouds. Whenever possible, the government gives you a choice of station. "In the army you can travel, learn, and earn at the same time. Uncle Worries for You. "You may think army pay is low. In addition to the $30 a month, Uncle Sam pays for your food, clothing, rent, light and fuel. With the present high cost of living, why not leave all the worries to Uncle Sam? After thirty years' service, you can retire on three-fourths pay plus $15.75 a month. The army is not all work and drilling. There are movies, libraries, games, music and dances; furloughs whenever conditions permit. "Do you admire courage, honest, square dealing, resolution and tenacity of purpose? You will find these qualities in men like Washington, Grant, Sherman, Roosevelt and Pershing—men developed in our army." "This training of body, mind and soul, and these opportunities for education, travel and adventure are more than sufficient reasons for joining the army; but there is another and greater motive for donning the 'olive drab.' Do you love your country, and would you be worthy of her? You must be willing to serve her both in war and peace. "Have you, like Nathan Hale, one life to give for your country? If so, join the army." Peekskill, N. X—Rev. Ellis Slipterly, pastor in three suburban Methodist Episcopal churches, has discarded his frock coat for a pair of overalls and began work as an apprentice pearl cutter in a factory here. He announced he had resigned his pastorate because he "could not make both ends meet," and would confine his preaching to "relief work which would not interfere with factory duties." His salary as a pearl cutter would be several hundred dollars a year more than his salary as a minister, he said. Not Referring to Human Kind Not Referring to Human Kind. Martinsburg, W. Va.-Residents of this city like their pork, but they object to seeing it running around promiscuously. As a result, a hot election campaign is being waged over the question of allowing hogs to be kept within the city limits. Saving Her Own "Bacon" Kokomo, Ind.—"Trixie," pet dog of Charles Botorff, is the only dog known to pay her own taxes. She was given a $5 bill and immediately rambled to the tax assessor's office, paid her tax and returned to her master with the receipt. CHASTENED BY WAR Old Travelers Find Port Said Much Changed City. Gateway to East Has Been Cleaned Up and Is Now Safe and Nearly Respectable. Port Said.—Old travelers come ashore and smile sadly. New travelers plunge into the stronghold of curio merchants with surprise and disappointment. Port Said, like the rest of the world, has been changed by the war. Port Said, to be quite frank, has been cleaned up. Time was when a brief saunter through the ramshackle bazaar meant a terrific battle with touts. Shady gentlemen of all nationalities, most of them known to the police of two continents, plied their disreputable trades with impunity. An incredible amount of rubbish was carted away by tourists in memory of a few hours' stay. Murder was a pastime after dark, and many sinister stories were told in the smoking rooms of departing liners of Port Said's wicked inhabitants. Now this gateway to the East is safe and nearly respectable. The hand of the A. P. M. has been laid in no uncertain manner on the underworld which was the real Port Said. Deportations eased the town of its international rogues and vagabonds. A passport control second to none in effectiveness keeps a tight grip on the polyglot population. Murder, even routine robbery, which was a staple industry on steamer days, is discouraged by the representatives of British rule. Gone, too, is the atmosphere of piracy and pillage maintained by brazen guides and other varieties of profiteers. They were wont to seize on ample and inquisitive tourists with the persistence of a leech. They would extract money by entreaties, argument, threats, even violence. Now the tots and trinket sellers and ragged bootblacks approach their prey with marked diffidence. A single sharp refusal usually suffices to turn them off. They drop the trail immediately they see that no business is to be done. NOTED TURKISH LEADER Photo by Western Newspaper Union An excellent photograph of Tachi Pascha, the renowned Turkish leader whose capture and arrest by General Milne has been reported as one of the incidents of the occupation of Constantinople. So Popular It May Become Mascot at Normal School in California. Chico, Cal.—A scorpion, alive and in vigorous health, with its stinger unremoved, is not the sort of creature usually adopted as a pet, but girl students of the Chico State Normal school have adopted one, and its popularity is such that it may become the school's mascot. The scorpion, not yet christened, was brought from southern California by Mrs. Bertha Chapman Cady, supervisor of biological science at the school, and is basking in the light of feminine admiration in a globular glass bowl. While intended primarily as a subject for study, the scorpion is rapidly becoming domesticated, proving, so Mrs. Cady asserts, that it has a docile disposition unless annoyed or attacked. Ohio Relics Gone Chillicothe, O.-When flames destroyed "Fruit Hill," historical mansion, the home of Gov. Duncan McArthur and William Allen, distinguished Ohioans, historic monuments and rare books were lost. The house was built in 1802. Walks Into a Train. Sidney, O.—Clyde Beeson hopes he is cured of sleep walking. His last experience was enough to satisfy him, for he walked head-on into a moving freight train. A broken shoulder, broken wrist and a deep cut over the ear are souvenirs of the occasion. Minnesota Historical Society THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS THE APPEAL ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY; MAY 15, 1920 GARDEN OF EDEN WANTS NURSES American Church Crusaders Are Hampered by Lack of Medical Skill. CALL FROM "CRADLE OF RAGE" Arabs Show Willingness to Accept What Formerly They Fought—Mesopotamia Is Completely Changed by World War. New York.—Wanted: Doctors and nurses for the Garden of Eden. The call comes from the "cradle of the race" itself, the land watered by the Tigris and the Euphrates—Mesopotamia. And the need stands between American crusaders and the answer to their prayers for 30 years. For decades the Garden of Eden and all the vast expanse of desert, steppe and fertile coast land that is Arabia have flamed with the fanaticism of pagan and of Moslem tribes. For 30 years the mission workers among these Arabs, notably the Arabish mission of the Reformed Church of America, have prayed for a means to penetrate this barrier and reach these wild tribesmen. And they have prayed for a change in the spirit of the people. Prayers Are Answered. To both prayers have come answers. An economic, social and religious study of the country now being conducted by the Interchurch World Movement as a means to making practicable a closer co-operation of American Evangelical churches in their common tasks, shows that Mesopotamia has been completely changed by the world war and that all Arabia has been affected. The survey shows, too, that medical work is the best and in many cases the only possible method by which the initial contact may be established between the pagans and Moslems, on one side, and the crusaders of the cross, on the other. And now, when the Arabs show a willingness to accept what formerly they fought—when unparalleled opportunities for service are offered the crusaders—they are helpless for lack of doctors and nurses. The finest hospital of the Reformed church mission is standing idle, reports the Interchurch World Movement survey. And the survey reveals more than the need of medical men and women. There is a shortage of workers, both foreign and native. Large Unexplored Territory. Arabia, the survey shows, contains the largest unexplored territory in Asia—possibly in the world. It has a total area of 1,230,276 square miles and it lies in the southeastern part of the great peninsula. The crusaders of the cross have been limited to the eastern coast and the vicinity of Eden. Hejaz, the Moslem "holy land" where lie Mecca and Medina, has no missionaries. Hadramaut, with a population of 500,000, is untouched. There is not a single mission station far inland. At the hour of opportunity, created by the world war, the call comes from the crusaders, through the Interchurch World Movement survey; first for more doctors and nurses for the Garden of Eden and the Arabian interior; and then for more workers. On the basis of what the survey has revealed, the Interchurch World Movement is shaping a program for the cooperative effort of the Protestant churches in America to win the nomad tribes of Arabia, and the present dwellers in the garden, to the ideals of Christianity. Major Is Jailed for Gardening in Nightie Los Angeles, Cal.—Because he persisted in attending to his garden clad only in his abbreviated night shirt, Maj. E. A. Weed, seventy-nine, of Santa Monica, was arrested. Major Weed's arrest came following a complaint made against him by Robert H. Green. The police say that Major Weed was seen in his garden by many of the neighbors, who had remonstrated with him in vain. During the war drives, Major Weed did some excellent work. He is a widower. Rat Killing Time Comes Again. Falmouth, Ky.—The successful rat-killing party staged on the J. J. Eckler farm has suggested that "rat parties" would be a good thing for the farmers of that section. The rodents are particularly bad at present, but there are fewer on the Eckler farm than in many a day. While moving tobacco sticks three members of the party killed 83 rats and at the same time permitted six to get away. Food for the Judicial Intellect London, Ky.-Should fathers of girls have their rocking chairs strong enough to hold two people? That was the question involved in a $6 suit here. A father sued a young man for that sum for wrecking a rocking chair when the girl sat on her beau's lap. The father recovered damages in the magistrate's office, but Judge Luker reversed the decision, holding the chair was not as strong as it should have been. APH NEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATU LIVE IN OLD BOATS One Way Philadelphia People Solve House Problem. Tenant Population Are in Desperate Straits Owing to the High Rents. Philadelphia.—A campaign for building homes is Philadelphia's answer to the question of how to keep rents down to a reasonable basis. The tenant population is in desperate straits, for rents have been going higher and no end seems to be in sight. The scramble for homes in the suburbs is so acute that when one woman moved some of the furniture out of her home the other day in order to clean the house 25 persons tried to rent it from her within a few hours. To stop the profiteering in rents and homes, several organizations are attempting to unite on a program of house building to continue for at least six months, or until the shortage has been relieved. These organizations include associations of tenants, trade unions, representatives of the building trades and mortgaging companies. They have been asked to undertake this work by the department of public welfare. Meanwhile, camping ground accessible by street cars is in great demand. Tent manufacturers say more orders have been placed for tents this month than ever before in Philadelphia's history. There is an unprecedented amount of building of cheap cottages and bungalows within a radius of 30 miles of Philadelphia to accommodate the rush of tenants that is expected when mild weather comes. Those erected in one community cost about $600 each and are eagerly rented at $350 for the season. Old canal-boats lying along the Schuylkill river are being fitted out as dwellings, and families are glad to rent them as temporary homes. FARMERS SPURN GRAND PIANO Instrument Sells for $2.50 as New Yorkers Pay $150 for Blind Horse. Riverhead, L. L.-The eastern Long Island farmer seems to be a critical fellow. Just because he cannot use a piano to raise potatoes—there is no sort of affiliation, apparently, between music and potato growing—the farmer refuses to pay as much for the piano as he will for a blind horse. Frank J. Corwin, the auctioneer, recently astonished the countryside when he got the farmers tumbling all over themselves to bid in a blind horse at $150 and loose hay for the sensational price of $75 a ton. He sort of reasoned that if a blind horse was worth that much a grand plano that could make jazz music without much effort ought to bring around $500. But the farmers fooled him this time. In spite of all his coaxing, in spite of all his claims that Paderewski would be glad to have this instrument, it was knocked down for $2.50. TRIES "MOVIE" STUNT; DIES New York Lad, Aged Fifteen, Strangles Himself to Death with "Third Degree" Device. New York.—The death of fifteen-year-old Solomon Bernstein is attributed by his two younger brothers, Samuel, thirteen, and Isador, ten, to what he learned of criminal methods from moving picture plays. Solomon was found strangled to death on the cellar floor of his home. Around his neck was a small rope, tied in a noose. The other end was swung over a rafter. Tled to the end over a rafter were two iron weights. On the floor beside the body was a butter tub, kicked to pieces, evidently in his efforts to avoid a fatal end to his test of the improvised "third degree." According to the younger boys, the rope and weights were to be applied to Isadore, whom Solomon had accused of stealing a fountain pen cap. AGREE ON REMOVING DEAD French to Permit Disinterment of U. S. Men in the Fighting Zones September 15. Washington.—Removal of the American dead from within the fighting zones in France for transportation to the United States will begin after September 15 under an agreement between the American and French government. Bodies of men buried outside these zones now are being moved to this country. The war department, in announcing the agreement, said the terms of the understanding limited the return of bodies of those whose removal to America had been specifically requested by the next of kin. In transporting the bodies to French ports the American government has agreed to use not exceeding a maximum of 100 standard box cars at a time. No More Fixin' for Him. Covington, Ky—Hugh Jones says he is done fixing something for somebody without knowing what he's got to fix, because, as he says, "I got myself in a fix fixin' things to be fixed." A $25 fine fixed it with the court, when Jones was charged with having connected a copper coll to a still. Revenue agents cane upon Jones while he was at work. TRADEMARKS ARE PIRATED Americans Start Operations in South America to Protect U. S. Exporters. Manufacturers Should Register Their Trademarks With the Government One Concern Paid $30,000 to Recover Trademark. Buenos Aires—Dispatches from the United States stating that the American Manufacturers' Export association had launched a fight against "trademark" pirates in various foreign countries, including Argentina, were read with interest by the American business colony here, which is aware of frequent instances of this sort of business meanness. Americans are far from holding Argentina alone guilty of the practice, for the stealing of trademarks has been done here even by Americans from their own countrymen, it is said, as well as by Europeans from Americans. Remedy Pointed Out. The remedy against it, business men say, is for the American manufacturer to register his trademark with the government without delay, otherwise when he attempts to enter this market he may find that some unknown individual or competitor in the same line of goods has anticipated him. It is not necessary in Argentina for the person who registers a trademark to be the actual manufacturer of the goods. That is, anybody can register a trademark, first come, first served. Once registered, the mark can, of course, be used by no one else, and if it has been pirated, the rightful owner either has to sell his products under a new trademark or buy off the pirate. It is known in the office of the United States commercial attache that $30,000 was paid by one American concern to recover its trademark from a pirate. There are reported to be certain individuals who almost make a business of appropriating trademarks of foreign concerns in order to extort a price for surrendering them to the owner. They watch particularly for advertising in newspapers and magazines of foreign concerns whose products they judge are likely to find a market in Argentina; if they find a likely trademark not registered, they see that it is done in their own names and then wait. Trademarks Need Renewal. They also watch for the expiration of trademarks—the period is ten years. There are known to be instances in which concerns have thus left their trademarks to a pirate as the result of neglecting to have them renewed. Argentina has yet failed to ratify the pan-American trademark convention, under which a central agency for the ten southern republics of America would be established in Rio Janeiro for the registration of trademarks. A trademark registered there will be good in all other South American countries signatory to the convention and will save time, expense and trouble. The Argentine administration is known to be anxious to have the treaty ratified, but congress has failed to act. It is reported that President Irigoyen is preparing a special message to congress urging that there be no further delay in the matter. Gorky, Russian Radical, Finds Soviets a Failure Bitter disappointment with bolshevism is expressed in an article recently published by Maxim Gorky, the Russian radical, according to a dispatch from Stockholm, Sweden. "The revolution has not been followed by spiritual revival," the article is said to declare, "and has proved itself unable to make men more honest. Men in power now are just as brutal as those in authority under the imperial regime and send as many to prison. Bolshevist leaders, driven by ambition, are performing experiments upon living people, especially the working classes." PRETTY FACE CAUSES WRECK Aviator Crashes Into Tree While Throwing Kisses to Swarthmore Coeds. Swarthmore, Pa.—The Curtiss mall plane R-30, which dropped into a cluster of trees on the Swarthmore college campus, is rapidly disappearing at the hands of souvenir hunters in spite of the efficient guarding of the local police department. An eyewitness furnished an account of the mishap. According to his story the pilot was flying low and waving to a group of coeds. All went well, it is alleged, until he loosened his hold on the controlling rod for the purpose of throwing kisses with both hands. In an instant his plane dropped into the trees, and it was another case of a pretty face causing the downfall of a man. LONDON GIRLS DRINK Common Sight to See Them Imbibe Liquor in Public. Many Under 21, Without Any Escorts, Test Merits of Restaurant Wine Lists. London.—It is no unusual sight in London nowadays to see a young girl with her hair in a plait ordering wine in restaurants or in public houses, or venturing into a wine house for sherry or burgundy. London blames this condition on the war, when London women, deprived of male escorts, had to go on exploring trips alone and discover the merits of the wine lists. By this it should not be imagined that it is a usual thing with all the young girls of London to drink wine with their meals or to drink it at all. However, it is only necessary to make a survey of the restaurants, the wine houses and public houses in the West End to discover many girls less than eighteen years of age there taking stout or wine. Many of these places discourage custom from girls who are unattended by men or older women, and this is sending them into the restaurants, where they can obtain wine with their meals. Indeed, in London today girls of eighteen may be seen drinking liquors which not very long ago one seldom saw a woman under thirty years of age drinking. A social worker discussing this situation in the Daily Chronicle declared that it should be made impossible for a woman under twenty-one years old to buy liquor. "Probably the desire of young girls for wine arises from bad feeding," she said. "Many business girls arise so late in the morning that they have not time for a good breakfast before they start for work. At luncheon time they feel tired and out of sorts, and then they think that they need a stimulant. What they really need is better food, outdoor exercise and plenty of rest. Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but I don't like to see girls with their hair down ordering wine in restaurants." Clinedinst Wesley Frost, who has been appointed foreign trade advisor under the state department, succeeding Julius C. Law, resigned. During the war Mr. Frost was American consul at Queenstown and was one of the consular officers who rendered good service to the government, as a great part of the most valuable evidence of submarine attacks and other acts of the German government was collected by these officers. SCOTCH GO WILD ON U. S. RYE Constable Says Late Booze Importations Are of the "Shock" Variety. Greenock, Scotland.—American rye whisky now being imported into this country is said to be of the "shock" variety by the chief constable here, who has filed a report on the subject. The effects of prewar whisky, he says, even when it has been bonded for three years before being sold at retail, was nothing in character to those of some of the present-day whiskies, which only recently made their appearance here. "Whatever their composition is," the officer declares, "their effects are terrible. They not only poison, but madden, and leave persons nervous and depressed after the intoxicating effects have passed away." These whiskies are known locally as "smake-bite." Evidence Is Stewed. Vanceburg, Ky.—A pot containing a half-cooked chicken and a bucket of feathers was brought into court by Ivan Sounders, who accused W. Lanters and H. Bloomfield of taking his chickens. The only thing that could be proved was that the two men had had chicken for dinner, and the charge was dismissed. New Leg While You Wait. Cincinnati--While George Alexander, aged seventy, was watching a parade he slipped and fell, breaking his leg. The police patrol was called and he was removed, not to a hospital, but to an artificial limb factory, where a new leg was fitted. If you have ought that's fit to sell, Use printer's ink, and use it well. $2.00 PER YEAR REVOLT AGAINST SHODDY GOODS Overall Movement Is Protest Against Inferior Material Masquerading as "All Wool." Measure in Congress Would Make It Obligatory for Manufacturer to Stamp on Cloth Percentage of Virgin Wool It Contains. Chicago.—When the French peasants and bourgeoisie became utterly fed up with the ancient regime, they led several dozens of aristocrats to the guillotine and nicked off their heads. The citizens of Boston, years ago, declining to pay a tax, dumped a shipload of tea into the harbor. Americans today, from preachers to clerks, outraged at the prices they are forced to pay for inferior garments, spurn the clothiers' more select wear and don overalls. Movements like these are to be regarded as symbols of protest. The peasant was not an advocate of indiscriminate slaughter; the Bostonian did not dislike tea, and 1920 Americans are not strong for overalls per se. LeGrand F. Malaney, secretary of the National Sheep and Wool bureau, 29 South La Salle street, is of the opinion that the protest demonstrated by the denims is only partly against the high prices. It is equally against the inferior material, the shoddy masquerading as "all wool" that appears in garments nowadays. Retailer Also a Victim. "The overall movement will prove I, believe, ephemeral," said Mr. Malaney, "but it proves that the public is becoming very tired of spending its money for clothes and not getting value received. It blames the retailers for both prices and material. The retailer is as much a victim of circumstances as it is. "Sixty-five per cent of the people nowadays are wearing shoddy when they paid for real clothes. Now, these clothes one sees advertised in windows bear the sign 'All Wool,' which doesn't mean anything. "Shoddy may be all wool, but wool that has been made over more than once, and sometimes even baked to keep its shape. It has lost its resiliency and wearing qualities. The wool, as it comes off the sheep's back, is known as 'virgin' wool. Bill in Congress. "A bill was introduced in congress January 7 designed to prevent the deceit and profiteering that result from the unrevealed presence of substitutes for virgin wool and in garments made therefrom, known as the "truth in fabric" bill. This bill, if passed, will make it obligatory for the fabric manufacturer to stamp on the cloth the exact percentage of virgin wool, shoddy or cotton that it may contain. The fabric will be stamped: 'Maker's Registration No. — Contains not under — per cent virgin wool. Contains not over — per cent shoddy.' "In this way the retailer will know what he is selling and the consumer what he is buying. A man will not pay $70 for a $45 suit. Clothes will find their proper price levels and the public can abandon overalls." YANK WITH 38 WOUNDS HOME George Tremain, Wounded in Battle of the Argonne, Gets Leave to Visit Parents. Susanville, Cal.-When George Tremain, a soldier from Lassen county, was caught in the fire of a German machine gun nest in the battle of the Argonne, he received 38 separate wounds, 20 being of a serious nature. Tremain fell and lay on the ground in an exposed position for 12 hours before being rescued. When finally carried to a field hospital his injuries were pronounced fatal and for weeks he hovered near to death in hospitals in France. The amputation of both legs was anticipated for nearly a year, but healing was finally accomplished, and now he can walk with the aid of crutches. Tremain was permitted to come here from Letterman General hospital a few days ago to visit his parents. Home in Chicken Coop O. K. After Life in Flat Chicago.—Discovery of a family of nine persons living along with their fowls in a chicken coop—all that the tornado left of their home—was made in Bellewood. When Red Cross officials started to move them to more habitable quarters, the family raised walls of protest. "We don't mind living in our chicken coop," explained Gustav Kraft, head of the family. "You see, we lived in a Chicago flat once." Church Dodgers Take Notice. Mount Vernon, Ky.—If you want to dodge church, move to this town. For, unless you are vaccinated and can show your certificate or your scar, you can't get in. Furthermore, you can't go to a picture show or to school.

SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1920 “ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIER.” THE APPEAL of May 1, contained the following editorial: ‘The stage is all set and when the quadrennial conference of the Metho dist Episcopal Church meets in Des ‘Moines, Iowa, this month, it is likely that that most infamous action ever attempted In the history of Christian ity will become an accomplished fact. ‘The great event of the meeting is to be the unification of the North and South branches of the church, which separated over the slavery question many years before the slaveholders’ rebellion. ‘When the separation took place the Northern branch tooka stand for Christianity, humanity and freedom, while the Southern branch stood for slavery. ‘Now after 70 years they are to re unite by casting aside every vestige of Christianity, and segregating the colored members of the church. It is a plan conceived in hell, nurtured and sustained by the devil and @ repudiation of the baste princi- ples by the Christ which this great church claims to follow. And the disgusting part is, that some colored men are partners in the infamy. : ‘We learn from the press dispatches that the trick has been turned and the infamous scheme consummated, and the great M. E. church has torn down the banner of Christ, who taught the equality of races, and has substi- tuted a black flag. ‘Two “negro” Bishops are to be elected. That would be all right if they were to be real bishops with identical powers of the white bishops, but they are not and it never was intended that they should be equal. Their powers are limited and they are to preside over last Wednesday. The Grand Open- nauseating thing of the whole busi- ness is the fact that some of the col- ored men in the church supported the plan and are rejoicing that they have been officially and permanently seg- regated and declared inferior. In this country there is a great or- ganization known as the A. M. E. chureh. It is a monument to the man- hood of Richard Allen, who refused to be jimcrowed and founded the A. M.

For sometime the people of Massachusetts have been endeavoring to have colored men admitted to all branches of the army, but the adminis- tration at Washington insists that Americans of different complexion must not fight together in defense of Old Glory and that it is the “patriotic duty” of colored Americans to be satis- fied with jimcrowism. In a recent letter to Governor Cal- vin Coolidge of Massachusetts, Secre- tary Baker of the War Department “regretted” that nothing could be done “as a departure would have to be made from the War Department's policy of maintaining separate divi- sions for white and colored troops.” The letter ends with this paragraph: “It is elfeved that the colored citi- zens of Massachusetts should be re- minded that it is the better part of patriotism to volunteer for such serv- ices as may be required rather than to attempt to lay down conditions which the War Department must meet before services can be expected of them.” When the world war was on colored American soldiers fought and died for the native land, although subjected to the most infamous discriminations and humiliations, and they would fight again if their country was menaced, but we do not believe that they ought to enlist at all in time of peace un- less there is a radical change in the jim-crow policy which ruled during the world war.

Every attempt to help in any way the singling out of colored Americans as a race, in this country, for whom must be maintained separate places of public acommodation, must be defiantly fought, not even lending ear to the argument so common in cities of the middle West that such sep- arate institutions furnishes “jobs” for our men and women. ‘The colored people can not sell thelr citizenship rights in education and with the proceeds, pay the salaries of a few persons who may get em: ployment in such jim crow insti ‘tutions, A few Southerners objected to the presence of six colored girls at the graduation dinner at the fashionable Hotel Margaret in Brooklyn, N.

McADOO NOT THE MAN. ‘William G. McAdoo, former secre- tary of the treasury in a recent letter in reply to a notice that he had been ‘indorsed for the presidency by a trade ‘council replied with a lot of bunk that “America needs its greatest man” and that he doubted that he possessed the qualifications necessary. Well, Mr. McAdoo certainly took an accurate measure of himself. He is not in any sense a man fit to be presi- dent of a republic. He is a sectional- ist who believes wholly in the South and has been one of the main props to keep the South in the saddle in the Past seven years. He has no concep- tion of a government, “of, by and for the people.” And we must not forget that he is the man who originated segregation in the treasury department at Wash- ington, WHAT A LIEL ‘The amount of bunk just now being offered to the public in advertisements in which quotations from the Bible and the sayings of Christ, are made @ conspicuous part, is almost beyond belief.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People an- nounces that fifteen of the seventeen presidential candidates failed to reply to a questionnaire sent them by the Association on February 18, and re- peated on March 12, asking their views on seven main issues which colored people regard as fundamental. ‘The questionnaire asked whether they were in favor of the enactment of fed. eral laws against lynching; whether they would advocate Congressional en- forcement of the Fourteenth Amend- ment by reduction of representation of states which disfranchise their citi- zens, or whether they would advocate as an alternative the appointment of United States Commissioners to en- force the Fifteenth Amendment whether they would endeavor to bring about the abolition of jim crow cars in interstate traffic; whether they would urge National aid to elementary education without discrimination against colored children: whether they would favor the apportionment of col- ored soldiers and officers in the army in proportion to their numbers in the population; whether they would abol- ish radical segregation in the civil service of the United States; whether they would withdraw armed. or other interference with the independence of Haiti. The two candidates who replied tc 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 calle: ‘upon to enunciate platforms and poli cies and that the candidate selecte must be expected to stand on the plat form thus made. Senator Poindexte stated that he was “in favor of main taining legal rights and opportunitie of all our citizens, regardless of colo: lor condition.” ‘THOMPSON FOR PRESIDENT. Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago has triumphed over his many Political enemies and has carried 34 out of 85 wards in that city thus put. ting him in complete’ political control of the second city of the country. By combining with a downstate leader he will be able to control the great state of Ilinois and will name the delegates-atlarge 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 Daily News and other hypocritical newspapers, which for political rea. sons questioned his loyalty, Mayor Thompson is a great Ameri ‘can, absolutely devoid of racial preju dice, the representative of all classés of Americans, He is headed for the White House. THE APPEAL nominates William Hale Thompson of Illinois for Presi dent of the United States. The conditions may be such as to prevent his namination by. the conven: tion of 1920, but he may be elected Governor of Mlinois, and then U. S. Senator and then in 1928, THE APPEAL predicts he will be the éan- didate of the united Republican party for President and will be triumphantly elected. COWARDLY BISHOP REBUKED. We reprint from the Cleveland Ga- zette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a stalwart and outspoken champion of the colored people, the following rebuke to cowardly colored bishop: BISHOP PHILLIPS WRONG While there is much in Bishop C. H. Phillips’ pacifist interview of last Sunday, in the Cleveland News-Lea- der, to interest the average reader, there is one statement to which about all of the intelligent members of our race will take issue and that is his statement that “the Afro-American does not desire social, political or in- dustrial equality.” That is not true, bishop! In this section of the coun- try we want and, in a limited degree, enjoy all three. In the South, our people are asking the last two. “So- cial equality” is a myth. It does not exist among any class (race) of Americans. It is a matter for the individual to settle and he alone set- tles it in all cases. And many white and colored individuals (families) in this section of the country have long ago settled it to their entire satisfac. tion and are enjoying the so-called “social equality,” and will continue to do so until “the end of the chapter” regardless of the ranting of southern- ter if not both and the laws of the Political equality, the fundamental law of the land guarantees the lat- ter if not both and the laws of the states a¥e in most cases explicit when it comes to the former. Not only does this race of ours desire them but it demands them and will never rest until they are conceded in every nook and corner of this country of ours, The’ Afro-American wants and must have everything good every other class (race) enjoys in this country it he is to Keep abreast of the times and be able to cope with them in the great struggle of life. In this sec- tion of the country, at least, we can stand up and say so—tell the plain unvarnished truth and should do so. That it is not advisable for the good bishop to do so because of his resi- dence in the South and because of the large church interests there he rep- resents, we can understand. However, good bishop, please refrain from giv- ing out such interviews here in the North where they do no good but on he contrary have an effect that re- ards the progress of those of the ‘ace in this section of the country. HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS. Some get-rich-quick concerns are endeavoring to persuade patriotic Liberty bond holders, whom they know will not sell outright their Lib- erty bonds, to turn over their Liberty bonds to these companies as security for a loan and with the money thus borrowed purchase stock in their companies, A Liberty loan bond is the safest fnvestment in the world, and a pru- dent man will very carefully investi- gate any effort to Induce him to ex- change it for a less safe investment. This lending one money on Liberty bonds as security to purchase stock in the lender's company is in many cases only a thinly disguised method of exchanging stock of doubtful value for Liberty bonds of unquestioned value. COLORED COLONIALS. Many Colored Men in the American War for Independence. ‘The employment of colored men be- came a subject of much importance at an early stage of the American War of Independence. The British natur- ally regarded slavery as an element of weakness in the condition of the colonies, in which the slaves were numerous, and lald their plans to gain the colored men and induce them to take up arms against their masters by promising them liberty on this con- dition, The situation was looked upon by the public men of the colonies as alarming, and several of them urged the Congress to adopt the policy of emancipation. But while the general question of emancipation was de- feated, the exigencies of the contest again and again brought up the prac: tieal one of employment for colored men, whether bond or free. Only Freemen Wanted in Army. In May, 1796, Hancock and War-| ren’a committee’ of safety introduced the following formal resolution: “Re-| solved. That it 1s the opinion of this committee, as the contest now be- tween Great Britain and the colonles Tespects the liberties and privileges of the latter, which the colonies are determined to maintain, that the ad- mission of any person as a soldier into the army now raising, but only such 85 are freemen, will be inconsistent with the principies that are to be sup- ported and reflect dishonor on these colonies, and that no slaves be ad- mitted into this army upon any con- sideration whatever.” Washington took command of the army around Boston on July 3, 1776. The instructions for the recruiting officers from his headquarters at Cam. bridge prohibited the enlistment of any “negro.” It may also be noticed that they were forbidden to enlist “any person who {s not an American born, unless such person has a wife and ‘family and is a settled person im this country.” Many Colored Men Enrolled. Notwithstanding all this, the fact romains, according to Bancroft, that “the roll of the army at Cambridge had, from its firet formation, borne the’ names of men of color.” Free colored men stood in the ranks by the side of white men. In the beginning of the war they had entered the provincial army, and the colored men, like others, were retained in the serv. Jeo after the troops were adopted by the continent.” , ‘A committee on conference, consist- ing of Dr. Franklin, Benjamin Harri. son and Thomas Lynch, met at Cam. bridge, October 18, 1775, with the deputy governors of Connecticut and Rhode Island and the committee of the council of Massachusetts Bay, to confer with Gen. Washington, and’ ad. vise a method for renovating the army. On the 23d of October the ‘negro question waa presented and dis- ‘posed of as follows: “Ought not ne- ‘groes to be excluded from the new enlistment, especially such as are slaves?” “All were thought improper by the council of officers. It was agreed that they be rejected alto- gether. Tn general orders, lesued November 12, 177, Washington says: “Neither Regroes, boys unable to bear arms, nor old’ men unfit to endure tho fa. tigues of the campaign are to be en lated.” Permitted Their Enlistment. Washington, however, in the Inst days of the year, under representa- tions to him that the free colored men who had served in his army were very Much dissatisfied at being discarded, and fearing that they might seek em: ployment in the British army, took the responsibility to depart from the Tesolution respecting them and gave Meense tor their being enlisted. Washington promised that if there was any objection on the part of Con- gress he would discontinue the enlist- ing of colored men, but, on January ‘16, 1776, Congress ‘determined “that the free negroes who had served faith- fully in the army at Cambridge may be re-enlisted therein, but no others.” ‘The entire aspect of the affairs changed when, in 1779 the South be- Ban to be invaded. South Carolina, especially, was unable to make any effectual efforts with militia, by reason of the great proportion of citizens Recessary to remain at home to pre Yent insurrections among the colored men and their desertions to the enemy, who were assiduous in their endeavors to excite both revolt and desertion. ‘The result was that in all the South- erm states the legislatures passed reso. lutions to enlist the colored men, and the colored patriots of the Revolution are as much entitled as their white brethren for the ardor with which they fought the common enemy, whether they were bondmen or free. men. It has never been possible to give an exact statement as to the number of colored men who served in the Revolution, for the reason that they were generally mixed in regi- ments and not calculated separatery | Editor Smith Also Outspoken. (From the Cleveland Gazette, H. | 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- eal” 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.

In his correspondence for the Old reliable Cleveland Gazette, a. paper which we greatly admire as we ad- mire also its great editor, Hon. Harry C. Smith, especially for his stand against the race drawing off together in separate philanthropic institutions, Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washing: ton, D. C., flays Judge (or Justice as he calls him) Robt. H. Terrell as a compromisor. 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 he opposed colored people coming 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 Conference, We, ourselves, are surprised to see the way in which Mr. Terrell had this sent out over the country and the way the press dis- played it. He says the Judge presided at a meeting for Sen. Borah to oppose the 15th amendment. Then he speaks as follows: “He even sanctioned separate rec reational centers for colored and white troops, with those of the col ored immensely inferior, in spite of the fact that the blood of white and black alike was flowing in one crim son stream jn 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 getting some of the Iiv ing. are ever invited to this center tc talk democracy.” = We took our stand.on this in Bos ton much farther North than ‘Wash ington. ferily the Judge needs make repl} lor the race will see how it is that thi Southern administration retains ealaren Wisk ae Tene (From the Monitor, Omaha.)

No one can be said to know any glass of people #ho has not been tn intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class, We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they kmow the colored race, with others who have bad no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sym: Pathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the two sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know asp! rations among them that the others @o not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obli- vious 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 col- ored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demon- strated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously can- aid with themselves, they would re. vino thelr judgments and possibly sof ten their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored “HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT.” My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day’s report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.

Editor Amsterdam News: Bir: I cannot too heartily congratu- lnte you qn a recent editorial discour- aging the use of the word “Negro.” ‘There {s no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term.

The funeral was held at Simpson & Wills mortuary chapel, interment at Oakland. The annual joint Thanksgiving services of the G. U. O. O.

PAUL one night next week by one of the leading Twin City Fraternal Orders, the committee in charge is composed of five members four of whom live in St. Paul, only the chairman lives in Minneapolis. THE APPEAL has been completely ignored in the matter of printing and advertising. THE APPEAL for more than 34 years has been fighting for the colored people of the United States in general and the people of New York in particular. No one is COMPLELLED to patronize THE APPEAL unless he sees fit, but it appears very strange that race and civic pride should not prevent it from being ignored when the colored public is to be called upon to support some local enterprise. THE APPEALH had a very pleasant call on last Thursday from Mr. Fred C. Williams of Omaha, Neb. Mr. Williams is publicity and sales manager of the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, (Incorporated), manufacturers of drugs, medicines, pharmaceutical and toilet preparations, and is on a stock selling drive for his company, which is capitalized for $500,000.00. Rev. John Albert Williams, well known in St. Paul, is treasurer. Mr. Williams is also circulation manager of the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories. Mr. Williams is editor. Despite the fact that Mr. Williams lost his eyesight some twelve years ago, from a nervous breakdown, and is thereby greatly handicapped, he travels alone all over the country and is "making good." He is the guest of Mr. R. N. Travis. He spent several days in Minneapolis and will go to Duluth when he leaves here. MEMORIAL MENTIONINGS. Last Sunday was a high day at Memorial Baptist church.

No sooner in the gun he blew, Than off this mortal sphere he flew, And met the girl in yonder scene, Who lit the fire with kerosene. And there he saw in vengeance dire. The one who called a man a liar. He was huddling close as if for life, Beside the man who whipped his wife. Take warning each, take warning all, For retribution sure will fall On him who does a careless deed, Or wrongs another without heed. There is nothing so apt to make a man economize as the lack of money. It's a good thing our buried hopes don't need tombstones, or the supply of marble would run mighty short. Nothing pleases some people more than to hear disagreeable things about other people whom they don't like. Some women are constituted that they are unhappy unless they have something to worry about—some men also.
