PROVISIONS ARE VERY LIBERAL Ruling Permits Reinstatement of Lapsed or Canceled Insurance Before July 1, Regardless of How Long Man Has Been Discharged. Washington.—When Congress passed the war risk insurance act, which has been characterized as "the most liberal law of a grateful nation," it provided that the war-time policies, which were planned to endure for only five years, might be converted into permanent forms of life insurance to be issued by the United States government. Announcement of the actual provisions of the new policies which now is made, was deferred until necessary supplemental legislation could be passed, in order that the policies might be made models of liberality. These policies are issued to former and active service men and women of the American forces, on terms which have been made exceptionally favorable, in recognition of their sacrifices. The government pays all the costs of administration. $10,388 applications for war risk insurance, representing more than $40,000,000,000, have been received in the bureau of insurance. The applicants. In many cases have been awaiting definite announcement of the terms of the new policies, before applying for conversion of their war risk insurance to permanent forms. Others canceled their war risk insurance or permitted it to lapse. Inasmuch as it is necessary that the war risk (term) insurance must be in effect at the time of conversion to one of the permanent forms of insurance, it is anticipated that many who dropped their insurance will hasten to relinstate it under the liberal ruling which permits relinstatement of lapsed or canceled insurance, any time before July 1, 1920, on payment of only two monthly premiums on the amount of insurance to be relinsted, the application to be accompanied merely by a satisfactory statement of health. The six permanent forms of United States government life insurance into which the war-time insurance may be converted are: 1. Ordinary life. 2. Twenty-payment life. 3. Thirty-payment life. 4. Twenty-year endowment. 5. Thirty-year endowment. 6. Endowment maturing at age sixty two. The New and Important Features. The principal features in the United States government life insurance contracts, which have been approved by Secretary of the Treasury D. F. Houston and are being issued by Director R. G. Cholemley-Jones of the bureau of war risk insurance are: First, that the insured has three optional settlements: Option 1. Insurance payable in one sum. Settlement under this option will be made only when the form has been selected by the insured during his lifetime or the payment in one sum is requested in his last will and testament. Option 2. Insurance payable in installed installations. The monthly installments are payable for an agreed number of months under their form of contract (not less than 63) to the designated beneficiary, but if such beneficiary dies before the agreed number of monthly installments has been paid, the remaining unpaid monthly installments will be payable in accordance with the beneficiary provisions of the policy. Option 3. Insurance payable in installed installations through life. The installments may be payable throughout the lifetime of the designated beneficiary if they so elect, but if such designated beneficiary dies before 240 such installments have been paid, the remaining unpaid monthly installments will be payable in accordance with the beneficiary provisions of the policy. Total and Permanent Disability. Second, the policies provide for total and permanent disability benefits to the insured covering the duret period the policy is in force, and the period of the insured's total and permanent disability. The total and permanent disability feature is also included in the paid-up and extended features of the policy contract. Total permanent disability as referred to in the policy contract is any impairment of mind or body which continuously renders it impossible for the disabled person to follow any substantially gainful occupation and the diagnosis of which is founded upon conditions which render it reasonably certain that the impairment will continue throughout the life of the person suffering from it. The total permanent disability benefits may relate back to a date not exceeding six months prior to receipt of due proof of such total permanent disability, and any premiums becoming due after the date of such disability and within such six months, if paid, shall be refunded without interest. Loss of Sight. Without prejudice to any other cause of disability, it is agreed that the irrecoverable loss of the sight of both eyes, or the loss of both hands, or the loss of both feet, or the loss of one hand and one foot, shall be considered as total Incontestability. Fourth, the policies shall be incontetable from the Jate they take effect, except for nonpayment of premiums, and are issued free of restrictions as to travel, residence, occupation or military or naval service, except that the discharge or dismissal of the insured from the military or naval forces of the United States on the ground that he is an alien enemy, conscientious objector, or a deserter, or as guilty of mutiny, treason, spying or any offense involving moral turpitude, or willful and persistent misconduct shall terminate this insurance and bar all rights thereunder. Cash Surrender and Loans Fifth, cash surrender and赔盘 insurance, extended insurance and policy loan provisions shall be effective only after premiums for 12 full months have been paid—all values, reserves and net single premiums being based on the experience table of mortality, with interest at 3½ per cent per annum Payment of Premiums Sixth, premiums are due and payable on the first day of each calendar month in advance in legal tender of the United States of America to the treasurer of the United States in the city of Washington, District of Columbia. Premiums may be paid annually, semiannually, or quarterly, in advance, in which case the premium payable will be the sum of the monthly premiums for the period discounted at $3 per cent per annum. At maturity by death or otherwise the discounted value at $3 per cent per annum of the premiums paid in advance beyond the current calendar month shall be refunded to the insured, if living, otherwise to the beneficiary. Reinstatement Seventh, the government policies, if not surrendered for cash surrender value, may be reinstated at any time after lapse upon evidence of the insurability of the insured satisfactory to the bureau of war risk insurance, and upon the payment of all premiums in arrests, with interest from their several due dates at the rate of 5 per centum per annum, and the payment or reinstalment of any indebtedness which existed at the time of such default, with policy loan interest. However, if such indebtedness with interest would exceed the reserve of the policy at the time of application for reinstalment of said policy, then the amount of such excess shall be paid by the insured as a condition of the reinstalment of indebtedness and of the policy, The policies themselves are now in the hands of the government printing office, and will be issued to all those who have availed themselves of their privilege to convert the war-time term insurance into the new forms of United States government life insurance policies. It is believed that in these converted policies the government has given to all service and ex-service men and women a policy of unusual value. To Whom insurance Payable. Immigration new rulings, Director Cholemley-Moran's emphasis the fact that war risk (term) insurance or United States government (converted) life insurance may now be made payable to any of the following new and enlarged group of beneficiaries: Parent, grandparent, step-parent, wife (or husband), child, step-child, adopted child, grandchild, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, brother through adoption, sister through adoption, stepbrother, stepsister, parent through adoption, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, brother-in-law, sister-in-law: persons who have stood in the relation of a parent to the insured for a period of one year or more prior to his enlistment or induction or the child or children of such persons; parent, grandparent, step-parent, or parent through adoption of the insured's wife or husband. War risk (term) insurance may be converted into United States government life insurance now or at at any time within five years after the formal termination of the war by proclamation of the president.

New York.—Dr. Joseph Simms, who died at the age of eighty-six, willed his brain with a science. Dr. Edward Spitka, who has studied the brains of many noted men, removed Doctor Simms' brain. He will preserve and study it. Doctor Simms was connected with the medical department of New York university. He was friend of Darwin and Huxley and much interested in anatomical research. Seventeen years ago he was informed by Doctor Spitka that it was desirable from the viewpoint of anatomists that men should leave their brains to medical institutes. Thereupon Doctor Simms drew up his will and bequeathed his brain to Doctor Spitka. One provision of the will requested members of his family to notify Doctor Spitka of his death. Bee Is Blamed for Automobile Tragedy Sallinas, Cal.-Clarence Curtis, Healdsburg, was killed in an automobile accident on a steep grade near here because of a bubblele, according to his wife who was injured in the same accident. Mrs. Curtis said she was driving her car when her attention was distracted by a bee alighting on her husband's knee. The next thing she knew the automobile was overturned at the foot of an embankment, her husband was dead underneath and she was being picked up by passing motorists. Living Girl In "Dead" Basket. Denver, Colo.—When an undertaker went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Rogers to get the body of Gerald Rogers he mistook the boy's sister, who was unconscious from illness, for the dead.

SATU DATA-SHOW RISE OF FOOD COSTS Startling Increases in Prices Revealed by Bureau of Labor Statistics. ONION A STRONG CLIMBER Potatoes and Sugar Increase Considerably in Price Since January—Corn Flakes Only Article to Hold Firm. Washington—Startling increases in prices of some foodtruffs in the year of 1919, from January, 1919, to January, 1920—an increase of 120 per cent in onions, for instance—and recorded in a chart prepared by Royal Meeker, commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor, which is published in the Monthly Labor Review, the official publication of the department. The chart, which appears upon casual observation to be an illustration of the sun's rays or an optical vision, is found upon close inspection to be hardly so harmless an apparition. Forty-one articles of everyday food were kept track of for the year, retail prices for various cities in the country are recorded. It was found that twenty-five of these four other articles had increased in price; the others in the main showed decreases, only one article, package corn flakes, holding firm for a year. Onlons a Strong Climber The humble onion—which, despite its humbleness is the base of many foods prepared by the poorer of the foreign families—sold for 4.1 cents on Jan. 15, 1919; a year later the price recorded is 9 cents, an increase of 120 per cent. Cabbage was next in line with a 98 per cent ascent, while the other foods which showed an upward trend, with their percentage of increases, were: Potatoes, 69; granulated sugar, 65; ralsins, 53; prunes, 47; coffee, 41; rice, 31; flour (wheat), 29; rolled oats, 18; canned salmon, 16; bananas, 11; ooligarmerine and strictly fresh eggs, 10; bread, 8; fresh milk and corn meal, 6; meats, butter, 5; vaporized milk, storage eggs, 4; lard, macaroni, 2; lamb, tea, 1. Hurrah! Beans Are Cheaper The articles which showed a decrease and the percentage of decreases recorded were; Navy beans; 18; plate beef; 26; jacon; 14; canned tomatoes; 11; chuck roast, baked beans, 10; pork chops, 8; ham, canned corn; 6; round steak, 5; rib roast, 4; cheese, canned peas, 8; sirloin steak, oranges, 1. Potatoes and sugar have increased considerably in price, especially in Chicago, since January, so that the present comparative figures on those two items would show appreciably larger percentages of increases now than the federal record shows for January of this year. Another tabulation in the same bulldog percentage of prices increases since 1913, the number of pork are 101 per cent increase for pork flour 102 for lamb, 107 for hen, 121 for lard, 123 for stricty fresh eggs, 143 for storage eggs, 45 for wheat flour, 120 for corn meal, and, but by no means least, a 238 increase in potatoes and a 207 raise in granulated sugar. There were no items showing a decrease for that period. GERMANY BUYS STATE ROADS Berlin Regime Pays 40,000,000,000 Marks for the Federated States Railways. Berlin—Forty billion marks ($10,000,000,000 prewar value) is involved in the government's purchase of the Federated States railways, which has been approved by the national assembly. The annual interest incurred in the nation's huge investment is estimated at 14,000,000 marks ($4,750,000 prewar value). The government is not overanguine with respect to early returns from the investment, in view of the dislapsed condition of the railways, the delayed output from repair shops and continued demands by the men for wage increases. Doctor Bell, minister of transport, described in the national assembly the transaction as one of the most gigantic ever effected by any parliament. The minister added that more than a million employees of the railways will be on the government pay roll. He admitted that the government had to pay heavily for a final settlement with the various states. Tom Cat as Security St. Joseph, Mo.—A mortgage filed with the register of deeds at Stockton, Mo., to secure a debt of $46 includes as security one black tom cat, with white feet, named Tom.

BIG WHEAT PLANTING URGED Federal Agricultural Department Asks Farmers Not to Reduce Acreage. Washington—Reports from the spring wheat regions of a plan for reduced acreage this year caused the department of agriculture to issue a statement urging farmers to revise their planting plans. The normal requirements for consumption and export are about 800,000,000 bushels. Of this amount only 483,617,000 bushels is indicated from the winter wheat report this year. The world demand, it was pointed out, will be as great as usual and no shipments can be expected from Australia, because of a poor wheat year, and disorganized transportation conditions make improbable the movement of the 55,000,000 bushels Russia has announced she will have ready for export. It was pointed out that the estimated 483,617,000 bushels of winter wheat may be even less because of winter-killed fields and indications that the Hessian fly will be unusually active through large areas. The grasshopper menace, the statement also said, is serious in a large part of the great plains belt. Detroit, Mich.-Discarded X-ray plates will glaze all windows in the Detroit Municipal Tuberculosis sanitation being erected near Northville. "These photographic plates cleaned of chemicals will serve the purpose as well as new glass and will save the city $30,000," said Health Commissioner Henry F. Vaughn. "Plumbing fixtures are coming out of the Detroit hotel and will cost only $7,200 against $50,000 to $70,00 for three." "Five hundred mnoghany door frames from the dismantled hotel will save the city $15,000," Mr. Vaughn declared. WOULD TILL HUNTING LANDS Spanish Socialists Suggest Their Purchase by the Government for the Poor. Madrid.-Socialists introduced a proposition in the Cortes demanding that the government should purchase from rich landlords territories utilized for hunting and turn them into cultivated land to help provide food for the poor. A suggestion was made that 200,000 pesetas be expended for this purpose. No reply was received from the government regarding the plan.

First Make Victims Dig Graves, Then Execute Them for the Bolshevki. Amsterdam.-The correspondent of the Handelsblad, who recently returned from a trip in soviet Russia, gives the following account of his investigations of the activities of the Chinese employed there by the bolshevki as executioners. "Such horrible stories were being told in Europe about these Chinese that I thought it worth my while to learn more about them. As a joke, I asked everyone who asked my opinion of the bolshevki to show me some real man-killing Chinese, but I always told they couldn't produce any just now because they had all gone to the Denkinek front. "I was told the Chinese, if commanded by the own officers were excellent soldiers, but they ran like hese if their officers were killed. Executions are now very rare in Moscow, but, in August, when thousands of counter-revolutionaries were slaughtered, it was carried out by the Chinese because the authorities refused the Russian soldiers would refuse to do the work. "The Chinese do this work indifferently—like they do all other work they are ordered to perform. They are blind, conscienceless tools in the hands of the men who feed them and pay them and who raised them from the position of coolies in which they came to Russia to the rank of soldier, of the guards. "If the 'holtsjak' (his name for bolshevk) orders something, the Chinese does it, and he does it in his typically practical way. He first makes the victim dig his own grave and then shoots him with his revolver. He is not cruel all the time, he practically kills him with his revolver. When 'holtsjak' says kill, then he kills with an unburied face. And when boltsjak says, 'You may stop now,' with the same cool face he lets his victim go." The correspondent after some weeks in Russia left when he was refused permission to make investigations freely as he pleased. Assert Ancient Tribes Did Much Irrigating Albuquerque, N. M.—That prehistoric peoples of New Mexico did a good deal of irrigating is indicated by the remains of canals and ditches found in the state, as well as in other parts of the Southwest, according to H. F. Robinson, head of the Indian irrigation bureau here. The remains of 217 miles of ditches built by the Pueblo Indians alone are to be found, and there are evidences of elaborate water systems at the Salt River wortzina. These ditches were all dug by hand, according to Mr. Robinson, and clay banks and beds were constructed where the way lay over a sandy plain, while the method of blasting through rocks was to heat the rocks, crack them with large stones and remove them from the way. $5,000 FOR MOSQUITO BITE Demand Is Made by Sailor in Suit Brought in Brooklyn Supreme Court. New York.—The tale of a ship beset by swarms of mosquitoes during a voyage along the south Atlantic coast was unfolded in a complaint filed in the Brooklyn supreme court in a suit for $5,000 damages brought by Hendricus De Rae, a sailor. De Rae alleges that after he had been bitten severely, officers of the teamship Gulfcoast, belonging to the Gulf Refining company, refused to give ointment to him. The company has asked for a bill of particulars, denying that the officers refused the ointment, and declaring that mosquito bites were part of the assumed risk of employment. ITALY MAKES OYSTERS SAFE Removes Impurities by Keeping Them in Sterilized Sea Water for a Week. Washington—An Italian company has perfected a process for removing impurities from oysters, according to a report to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. On being taken from beds along the Venetian coast the oysters are shipped to Rome, the shells carefully washed and thrown into great tanks filled with water. The tanks are constantly replenished and the flowing water has been found to wash all impurities from the oysters which, after a week's "treatment" are shipped to the retailers. Hash?

ADULTERATION IS CHARGED Use of Spoiled Tomatoes in Canning Is Basis of Ten Cases—Misbranding of Vinegar Results in Fine of $400. Washington—Fifty food and drug cases are reported as having been terminated in the federal courts in a recent service and regulatory announcement supplement of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture. The charges of the government were upheld in 40 of the cases, but in one seizure action the decision of the court was in favor of the claimant of the goods. Ten actions were based on the adulteration of tomato products, such as catus, purce, pulp, paste, and the like. The most frequent charge was that of decomposition resulting from the use of molten or rotten tomatoes in preparing the products. The specialists of the bureau of chemistry have given a great deal of attention to the improvement of tomato products. Not only have a large number of prosecutions and seizures been made, but experimental work and educational campaigns have been conducted to aid the packers in developing methods to eliminate all spoiled tomatoes. There have been marked improvement in the quality of such products, but some packers, either as the result of carelessness or from a deliberate disregard to the requirements of the law, still occasionally use tomatoes unfit for food. Eleven Actions on Stock Feed. Stock feed made from cottonseed meal or cake was the basis of eleven actions, the most frequent charge being that of misbranding, because of statements on the labels claiming a higher percentage of protein than was actually present in the feed. Since the percentage of protein present in a stock feed is one of the factors fixing the price, this form of misbranding the feed being sold for a higher price is called public value warrants. It is also misleading to the stock raiser in determining a proper feeding ration. Canned salmon was the basis of four seizures. Spoilage of the salmon was the charge in each seizure. In three of the cases the court ordered the salmon destroyed, while in one case the salmon was released for use in the manufacture of fertilizer. Investigations have shown that some canners of salmon do not always provide sanitary methods in putting the salmon into the specialists of the bureau of chemistry to improve the methods of packing salmon in order to prevent contamination are under way. Fined for Misbranded Vinegar. Other prosecutions and seizures covered by the notices of judgment include a shipment of sardines which were destroyed, because they consisted in part of filth, decomposed, and putrid animal matter, and three shipments of olive oil adulterated with cottonseed oil. An artificial vinegar labeled as cider vinegar resulted in the party responsible for the violation being fined $400. One shipper who failed to appear to defend himself on the charge of adding water to milk was fined $200 and costs. A shipment of milk from which part of the butter fat had been extracted resulted in the party responsible being fined $10 and costs. A plea of nolo contendere was made in answer to the charge by the government of shipping frozen eggs composed part of filth, decomposed and putrid animal matter and a fine of $80 imposed by the court. A shipment of decomposed apple butter was destroyed. Two shipments of soaked梨 lima beans which were sold as green lima beans were seized, as was a shipment of gelatin consisting partly of glue and containing copper and zinc. Seven actions under the food and drugs act were based on the charge of adulteration and misbranding of proprietary medicines. Fines ranging from $10 to $100 were imposed in these cases, the charge being in the main that there were and fraudulent claims as to the curative powers of the preparations. Three prosecutions were based on the misbranding or adulteration of mineral waters which were recommended by the proplettors for the treatment of various diseases. In one of these cases in which the defendant entered a plea of guilty, a nominal fine of only 1 cent and costs was imposed by the court. Charges of short weight were sustained against shipments of macaroni and spaghetti. Short weight was also established in one shipment of olive oil. Sleuths Use Plane for Capture.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. --- SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1920 "THE TRAGEDY OF THE HALF LOAF." THE APPEAL heartily endorses every word of the following editorial from our enterprising and uncompromising contemporary, The Chicago Whip. What a pity that there are so few "Whips" among the papers edited by colored men: The strongest races of men, and the most indomitable characters of history have always either uncompromisingly demanded every scintilla of their just rights, or, being denied the full measure of attainment of their ideals have spurned even life itself. Patrick Henry in crying out for "either liberty or death," voiced the sentiment of the Pilgrim Fathers, who preferred the unknown horrors of the great uncharted Western ocean and the savage-ridden land beyond to religious oppression in a comfortable home. But the American colored man is apparently satisfied with the HALF LOAF. For 250 years he was so told that he was entitled to NOTHING—that he even enjoyed life itself by suffrance. His mind was so deliberately dwarfed and stunted that he could not even think to the contrary. So well was this psychology ingrained into him, that even today, race leaders of the old school, finding it impossible to break from this log cabin philosophy, "handed it down to free men." He was so thoroughly robbed of his mentality, that he complacently helped manufacture the shot and shell which enabled his masters to keep him in slavery. When Liberty and Citizenship were grafted him, his childish mind could not grasp their significance. He took what was given him with a thankful heart, thanks to the teachings of the old school. He has not yet demanded unequivally all that is due him! He fears to refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf and demand the WHOLE, trembling lest he be denied any at all. With apologetic mien and smirking smile, he renders gratitude for Jim Crow Settlement Houses, Jim Crow Soldiers and Sailors' Clubs, Jim Crow Y. M. C. A. As, Jim Crow Officers' Training [Picture of a man in profile, wearing a suit and tie, with a mustache.] Camps, Jim Crow churches, fraternities and politics. He thus plays the begger's role in spite of the fact that he has proven himself to be an indissoluble and indivisible entity of the whole warp and woof of America, economic, political, military and social. He is the economic backbone of the South. He holds the balance of political power as he is beginning to learn. He has always been the fangs of the American army. His blood, suspected and unsuspected, flows in more veins than any other one strain in America. of dark complexion tries to enlist him is told that he can only enter as a servant. Thus the United States government lies and insults a group of its patriotic citizens. Isn't it enough to give on the blues? MADDEN NEARLY MOBBED. The statement that the Confederate of the days of the slaveholders' rebellion were traitors, made by Martin B. Madden, member of Congress from Chicago, in the House of Representatives at Washington, almost provoke He is still a slave if he accepts anything short of the full unstinted measure of recognition and respect. The New Colored American will never again be satisfied with EQUAL RIGHTS when they are not the SAME RIGHTS. The NEW Colored American, repudiating the teachings of the old school, who led him into the quagmire of peonage and serfdom MUST and WILL spurn the Half Loaf and lay hold onto the WHOLE LOAF, "so help him God." BUILDING A PLATFORM For many years the Republican party has been indifferent to its faithful allies, the colored people, and even since the party is in power in Congress, efforts of good Americans to get the Republican party to eliminate jimcrowism from legislation have failed. Now the platform makers are at work in Washington. The press dispatches tell of many tentative planks, but there is the usual silence about fundamental rights which are of more interest to a group of about 13,000,000 Americans than anything else. There are colored members of the advisory committee, but we have not been able to learn that they have done anything. Is it possible that they are jimcrow men who are willing to keep their mouths shut when it is time to speak? THE APPEAL believes that there should be a short and strong plank, with no reference to "the colored man" or "the Afro-American" or "the Negro," but a demand for exact justice for all American citizens and should include: 1. The enforcement of the Constitution of the United States. 2. A national anti-lynching law. 3. Abrogation of racial segregation in the civil service of the United States and in the Army and in the Navy. 4. Abolition of the jimcrow car in interstate travel. There must be no evasion. Let the Republican party speak out plainly for equality of citizenship. If the advisory body will not hear, the fight must be carried to the Republican national convention at Chicago and an attempt made to get an equal citizenship plank in the platform or know the reason why. BEAUTIFUL BLUE BUNK Beautiful blue posters all over the country say: "JOIN THE NAVY For honorable service, travel, sure pay, trade instruction, excellent promotion" and so on on ad infinitumbunt. One-eighth of the citizens of the United States are barred from general service in the Navy. When a citizen THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. of dark complexion tries to enlist he is told that he can only enter as a servant. Thus the United States government lies and insults a group of its patriotic citizens. Isn't it enough to give one the blues? MADDEN NEARLY MOBBED The statement that the Confederates of the days of the slaveholders' rebellion were traitors, made by Martin B. Madden, member of Congress from Chicago, in the House of Representatives at Washington, almost provoked a clash the other day. Mr. Madden reiterated his statement and said that he had no apology to make and asked: "Does anyone deny it?" There was uproar from the Democrats, several Southern members shouting, "Yes," and "You're a liar." Representative Romje of Missouri arose and started toward Madden, as did Representative Johnson of Mississippi, but both stopped short, as Southerners are wont to do, unless it is a mob of 1,000 masked men ready to burn a defenceless prisoner at the stake, in which case they are remarkably brave. Madden turned again to the Democratic side and said: "They were traitors. You say no, and I say yes. They did try to destroy the Union." In these recent years with Southerners like Pitchfork Tillman, et al, it is refreshing to see men like Madden who can not be bluffed by Southern bluster. Madden told the truth and the Southerners know it. "ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIER." THE APPEAL of May 1, contained the following editorial: The stage is all set and when the quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church meets in Des Moines, Iowa, this month, it is likely that that most infamous action ever attempted in the history of Christianity 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 took a stand for Christianity, humanity and freedom, while the Southern branch stood for slavery. Now after 70 years they are to remite 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 a repudiation of the basic principles 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 substituted a black flag. Two "negro" bishops having been 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 "negro" conferences only. The most nauseating thing of the whole business is the fact that some of the colored men in the church supported the plan and are rejoicing that they have been officially and permanently segregated and declared inferior. In this country there is a great organization known as the A. M. E. church. It is a monument to the manhood of Richard Allen, who refused to be jimcrowed and founded the A. M. E. church. The colored people in the M. E. church could have joined with the A. M. E.'s but it seems that the people preferred to remain where they are segregated. Now that the M. E. church has repudiated the teachings of Christ and unfurled the banner of jimcrowism, the choir will please sing, "Onward, Christian Soldier!" INSISTS UPON SEGREGATION. It seems that the War Department is determined to continue its jim-crow policy. For sometime the people of Massachusetts have been endeavoring to have colored men admitted to all branches of the army, but the administration 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 satisfied with jim-crowism. In a recent letter to Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, Secretary 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 divisions for white and colored troops." The letter ends with this paragraph: "It is believed that the colored citizens of Massachusetts should be reminded that it is the better part of patriotism to volunteer for such services 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 unless, there is a radical change in the jim-crow policy which ruled during the world war. THE REASON The Boston Guardian edited by William Monroe Tratter, is the paper which stands first and foremost in the battle against jimcorwism. The following editorial from a recent issue is timely: The reason that a preparatory Y. M. C. A. or civic centre is a step backward is that in the North it means nothing less than an invitation to white men conducting places for public patronage or recreation, to refuse, deny or segregate all colored patronage and point to such an institution as a just reason for so doing, and soon the idea as well as the practice of setting colored Americans off by themselves in all places for public accommodation will spread until, as in many cities throughout the North will be found segregating or denial in the theatres, restaurants and such places, until it reaches the public schools. Every attempt to help in any way the singing out of colored Americans as a race, in this country, for whom must be maintained separate places of public accommodation, must be defiantly fought, not even lending ear to the argument so common in cities of the middle West that such separate institutions furnishes "jobs" for our men and women. The colored people can not sell their citizenship rights in education and with the proceeds, pay the salaries of a few persons who may get employment in such jim crow institutions. WHAT A LIE! 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 a conspicuous part, is almost beyond belief. One of the most recent buncolsts is the Order of Moose, which has flaring headlines in the papers like these: "MOOSE EXEMPLIFIES SERMON ON MOUNT." "MOOSEHEART IS THE GOLDEN RULE IN ACTION." Down near the end of the advertisements one finds a notice that "ANY WHITE MAN MAY BECOME A MEMBER." Such advertising is a profanation of the "Sermon on the Mount." DUMB CANDIDATES The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces that fifteen of the seventeen presidential candidates failed to reply to a questionnaire sent them by the Association on February 18, and repeated 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 federal laws against lynching; whether they would advocate Congressional enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment by reduction of representation of states which disfranchise their citizens, or whether they would advocate as an alternative the appointment of United States Commissioners to enforce 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 colored soldiers and officers in the army in proportion to their numbers in the population; whether they would abolish 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 to the Association's questionnaire were Senators Harding and Poindexter, the former stating that it was not consistent with his views to take up the categorical questions asked by the Association, that conventions are called upon to enunciate platforms and policies and that the candidate selected must be expected to stand on the platform thus made. Senator Poindexter stated that he was "in favor of maintaining legal rights and opportunities of all our citizens, regardless of color or condition." COLORED COLONIALS. Many Colored Men in the American War for Independence. The employment of colored men became a subject of much importance at an early stage of the American War of Independence. The British naturally regarded slavery as an element of weakness in the condition of the colonies, in which the slaves were numerous and laid their plans to gain the colored man, and to them to take up arms against their masters by promising them liberty on this condition. 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 abolition. But while the general question of manhood was defeated, the exigencies of manhood again and again brought up the practical one of employment for colored men, whether bond or free. Only Freemen Wanted in Army. In May, 1775, Hancock and Warren's committee of safety introduced the following formal resolution: "Resolved. That it is the opinion of this committee as the contest now between Great Britain and the colonies respects the liberties and rights of the latter, which the colonies are determined to maintain, that the admission of any person as a soldier into the army now raising, but only such as are freemen, will be inconsistent with the principles that are to be supported and reflect dishonor on these men, that no slaves be admitted into the army upon any consideration whatever." Washington took command of the army around Boston on July 3, 1775. The instructions for the recruiting officers from his headquarters at Cambridge prohibited the enlistment of any "negro." It may also be noticed that they were forbidden to enlist any boy, which is not an American born, unless such person has a wife and family and is a settled person in this country." Many Colored Men Enrolled Notwithstanding all this, the fact remains, according to Bancroft, that "the roll of the army at Cambridge had, from its first formation, borne the names of men of color." Pre-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 service after the troops were adopted by the continent." A committee on conference, consulting of Dr. Franklin, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Lynch, met at Cambridge, 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 adduce a good order or renovating the army. On the 29th of October the negro question was presented of as follows: "Ought not negroes 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 altogether. General orders, issued November 12, 1775, Washington says: "Neither negroes, both unable to bear arms, nor old men gift to endure the fatties of the campaign are to be enlisted." Permitted Their Enlistment. Washington, however, in the last days of the year, under representations to him that the free colored men who had served in his army were very much dissatisfied at being discarded, and that he might seek employment in the British army, took the responsibility to depart from the resolution respecting them and gave license for their being enlisted. Washington promised that if there was any objection on the part of Congress he would discontinue the enlisting of colored men, but, on January 16, Congress determined "that the free negroes who had served faithfully in the army may be adjourned may be re-enlisted therein, but no longer." The entire aspect of the affairs changed when, in 1779 the South began to be invaded. South Carolina, especially, was unable to make any effectual efforts with militia, by reason of the great proportion of citizens they were to remain at home to prevent invasion. 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 Southern states the legislatures passed resolutions 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 freemen. 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 regiments and not calculated separately. THOMAS ON TERRELL. (From the Boston Guardian) In his correspondence for the Old reliable Cleveland Gazette, a paper which we greatly admire as we admire also its great editor, Hon. Harry C. Smith, especially for his stand against the race drawing off together God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. in separate philanthropic institutions, Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washington, 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 Pricing to be the first to greet President Wilson upon his return from the Conference. We, ourselves, are surprised to see the way in which Terrell had this sent out the country and the way the press displayed 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 recreational centers for colored and white troops, with those of the colored immensely inferior, in spite of the fact that the blood of white and black alike was flowing in one crimson 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 getting some of the living blood needed to this center to talk democracy." We took our stand on this in Boston much farther North than Washington. Verily the Judge needs make reply or the race will see how it is that this Southern administration retains a colored man as Justice.

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 superseded. On him who does a carless deed, Or wrongs another without heed. E. W. Gilles, Minneapolis, Minn. CITATION ON PETITION FOR LET- TERS OF ADMINISTRATION.
