PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF AMENDMENT.
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to establish and provide for the construction and maintenance of a system of roads and highways in the state of Arkansas. The proposed amendment, if adopted, will be to establish and authorize the enactment of laws, providing for the construction, improvement and maintenance of any roads or state of the Arkansasways described in a general way in the amendment, which highways are to be more specifically and definitely located in a manner to be prescribed by any such laws must provide that in fixing the roads and highways in our routes they shall not be any deviation from the starting point or termini described in the routes set forth in the amendment, nor shall there be a devaluation of any such laws named in the various villages and cities named in the amendment, and through which the routes are to pass.
If the amendment is adopted, the legislature will be thereby authorized to provide by law for the issuance and sale of roads and highways in the state of the Arkansas for the creation of a "Trunk Highway Fund" to be expended for the construction of the roads embraced in the trunk highway system. The legislature cannot, without the express consent of the legislature in amount of the par value thereof of the sum of $10,000,000, nor can the aggregate of all outstanding unpaid bonds ever exceed $75,000,000. Bonds cannot be sold for less than or five per cent per annum.
The adoption of the amendment will also confer on the legislature authority to levy a tax on motor vehicles, using the public streets and highways, on a more onerous basis than other personal vehicles. A tax on motor vehicles will be credited to the Highway Sinking Fund, which is to be used to pay bonds issued as above; any surplus in the Highway Sinking Fund not needed for the retirement of bonds to be transferred to the Trunk Highway Fund. Motor vehicles tax by any law passed by the legislature will not be subject to any other tax, except that a whealease tax may be imposed on such vehicles by any borough city or village, if they see it do to do. In case the tax on motor vehicles is not sufficient to pay the principal and interest of the taxation, in case of the adoption of the amendment, will be empowered to provide by law for the taxation of all the taxable property of the state in an amount sufficient to meet the deficiency, or it may, in its discretion, appropriate the Highway Sinking Fund any monies in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 2.
Chapter 531. Session Laws of Minnesota and an amendment to section 7 of article VI the constitution of the state of Minnesota and section 7 of article VII the constitution of the state of Minnesota.
"Section 7. There shall be established in each organized county in the state a probate court, which shall be appointed by the governor who shall be paid by individuals who shall be appointed by voters of the county for the term of such county at the time of his election, and reside therein during his commissionation shall be provided by law.

A probate court shall prescribe of deceased persons and persons under guardianship, but no other remedy except as prescribed by this constitution.
The amendment simply proposes to substitute the word "four" for the word "two" so that the sentence prescribing the duration of the term of office of probate is adopted, read as follows:
"It shall be held by one judge, who shall be elected by the voters of the county for the term of four years."
The purpose of said amendment and its effect, if adopted, will be to make the probate of probate four years instead of two.

"I BELIEVE"—SAYS HARDING. Among the things which Senator Harding in his speech of acceptance says he believes in are the following: The budget system.
A small army, but the best in the world.
Eminence in trade abroad.
Constitution contemplates no class and recognizes no group.
Standards for immigration.
Americanization.
Child labor and woman's employ
ment reforms.
Stamping out lynching.
Effective aid in solving the problem
of housing.
Making Liberty bonds worth what

amendment.
WILL YOU MR. COX?
Mr. Cox, in your speech of acceptance of the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States you failed to mention many things which are of great import to a group of 12,000,000 American citizens and which ought to concern every good citizen of the United States.
In order that you may make your position clear THE APEAL will ask you a few questions.
Mr. Cox, if elected, the first thing you can do without the "advice and consent" of the Congress, would be the issuance of an executive order abolishing segregation, which is car-

THE SIN OF SILENCE
To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test. Had no voice in injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide on The few who dare speak again to right many.—Ella Wheel
To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Mr. Cox, if elected, will you restore the colored man's status quo so far as office holding is concerned and give representation in office by presidential appointment?
Mr. Cox: The things asked for are not to secure special privileges, but to abolish special privileges, to the end that the rights of citizenship may be equal without regard to race, color, creed or sex.
CALVIN COOLIDGE'S CREED.
Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts, when notified of his nomination for Vice President on the Republican ticket, outlined his creed. The paragraph relative to colored citizens is especially fine, and evidently sincere; it is as follows:
"There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty, they remained loyal, serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing $1 out of every $5 they possessed in Liberty bonds; surely, they hold the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from all imposition, to be defended from lynching, and to be freely granted equal opportunities."
THE RAPE OF HAITI.
Evidence is accumulating that the conquest of Haiti by the armed forces of the United States under the Wilson administration was one of the greatest atrocities of modern times.
The latest from Washington is that a summary investigation of alleged "practically indiscriminate killing" of Haitian natives by United States marines was ordered more than a year ago by Maj. Gen. Barnett, then commandant of the marine corps, has been made by the publication by Gen. Barnett on operations in Haiti during American occupation. The report shows that United States marines slew more than 3,250 Haitians in five years.
The navy department made public October 5 a report prepared by Gen. Lejeune, now commandant of the corps, on the work of the marines in Haiti. It declared that "peace and tranquility" prevailed in the island and that the marines had won the gratitude of all law-abiding natives. It is very evident that "peace and tranquility" prevail among the 3,250 Haitians murdered by the marines.
"DIVERSIFIED POLITICS."
Senator Harding has been in the "solid South" urging the Southern voters to support the Republican party at the coming election. He said the same things in Ken-

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.

tucky and Tennessee that he said in Ohio and Illinois. He struck a blow at the "solid South" when he declared that sectional misunderstanding could be removed by "diversified politics." The senator added, "The Republican party has no policy for one section that it does not preach for all sections alike."
NINE REASONS WHY
1. WARREN G. HARDING is the Republican candidate for President of the United States, and history has demonstrated that the Republican party is the only party fit to govern this country.
2. WARREN G. HARDING has demonstrated his statesmanship in his career as a United States senator. He refused to be a party to the transfer of the sovereignty of our country from the people to a super-government of the league of nations.
3. WARREN G. HARDING is a sincere man. He says what he means and means what he says. He does not veer from point to point and change his opinions over night.
4. WARREN G. HARDING would make the world respect the United States. He has declared that every right with regard to American life and property should be upheld.
5. WARREN G. HARDING is a friend of labor. This is shown by his record.
6. WARREN G. HARDING believes in law and order. He favors a federal anti-lynching law.
7. WARREN G. HARDING believes in the Constitution of the United States as contemplating no class and recognizing no group.
8. WARREN G. HARDING stands for equality before the law. He says, "Colored citizens should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights; they have earned the full measure of citizenship."
9. WARREN G. HARDING is a true American.
If you are a true American and believe in genuine democracy you should vote for WARREN G. HARDING for President of the United States.
"TO PREVENT LAPSE OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT."
A "flying squadron" of 100 prominent Jews, business men, bankers, educators, et cetera, will tour the United States during November and December "to bring the message of rejuvenated Judaism to the Jews of America, and for the protection of the Jews' civil rights throughout the land."
A prominent Jew explaining the purpose of the campaign, said first, "We desire to prevent the lapse of public opinion or legislation into a state of unfriendliness to the Jew." To this man, who is a "reformed" Jew, the importance of keeping a healthy public opinion toward the Jew was even more important than the revival of religious interest.
Judaism is a religion. There are Jews of almost every nationality on earth. While the majority of the Jews are in Russia, Poland, Germany and Austria, they are scattered all over the globe, and New York has a larger Jewish population than any other city. There are Chinese Jews in China, Japanese Jews in Japan, Indian Jews in India and Negro Jews in Africa. The Jews in the United States are not all rich, but they are represented in all lines of business and trade and commerce and in the learned professions, and their aggregate wealth is enormous, but a propaganda of hate is

WILL GIVE JUSTICE AMERICA WILL NOT FAIL COLORED PEOPLE
SAYS SENATOR HARDING IN ADDRESS TO COLORED DELEGATIONS
Marion, Ohio.—The following is the full text of the address of Senator Harding, Republican nonjew for President, to visiting colored delegations:
"Americans: I greet you as workers in the cause of a noble religious purpose, and I shall address you, insofar as I am able to do so, without thought of my position as a candidate of a party for high political place, and with my interest centered upon you, upon your aspirations, and upon the contribution of your people to America. I will center my interest also upon the contribution of America to your people and upon the justice which, in America, must never be a privilege, not to create an equality that is lower than nothing if not be earned, but an opportunity for all men and women to achieve, and hold the full recognition of their merit, capacity and worth.
"To much doctrine based upon another principle has been loosened upon a war-worn world. Abroad, particularly in Russia, there has grown up the idea that by some impossible magic, a government can give out a bounty by the mere-fact of having liberty and equality written over its door, and that citizenship need make no deposit in the bank of common weak in order to write checks upon the bank. Here at home—we have had too much encouragement given the idea that the government is a something - for nothing - institution. But I say that citizenism is based upon what one can get, but that it is based upon what one gives, I say—and I wish that I could speak through you to all Americans—'Let's serve!'
"Under that slogan of good-citizenship there is no reason why you should not hold your heads high You, you are assembled today, and your race in America, have the good sense, as all thoughtful Americans must have, to know that it is only in a country where the merit, capacity, and worth of men and women recognized and rewarded, that merit, recognition and reward are developed. You, and I and good Americans, of whatever color, blood creed, know that the aspiration of all men is equal opportunity to create recognition of differences between themselves, and that no injustice known to man can be greater than that of the tyranny andocracy that labels itself Democracy, or Bolshevism, or Proletariat, and enslaves all men and all their ambitions and all their freedom with the iron band of mediocrity. The American man has the sense to know this truth man has the good sense and clear head and brain to live it and I, assuming to speak a which America ought to know, proclaim it to all the world that he has met the test and did. not and will not fail America.
America Will Not Fail.
"I proclaim more; I assert to all the world that America has not, and will not fail the American colored man."
"If there are those who doubt me let them look, to the record — the record of the colored in American citizenship, and the record of America in giving opportunity."
"Your very presence in the assembly, coming from great organizations dedicated to high religious purposes, is enough to cause any man to give recognition in his heart to the great contribution to American citizenship which is found in the capacity for deep religious faith among people of carried on against them by the so-called American Christians, in spite of the fact that the Christ was a Jew. Now if the Jews with all of their wealth and consequent power find it necessary to fight to "prevent the lapse of public opinion into a state of unfriendlessness to the Jew," how much more important for the colored people, who have already lost many civil rights, which are freely accorded to the Jews, to make a determined effort to regain them.
One sad thing about the Jewish question is the readiness with which the Jews join with the oppressors of the colored people. Not all of them, of course, but too many, when one considers the sufferings of the Jewish people through the ages. Some rich Jews, alleging philanthropy, have given millions to aid in the lowering of the social status of the colored people because it pleased Caucasian-American Christians and brought profits to their bulging pockets.
HARDING IN CONFERENCE.
We, the editor, have been in personal conference with candidate Harding. It was on the Front Porch day for the race at Marion, but in the front room of Senator Harding's office, close beside his house.
We were with President N. S. Taylor, and Vice-president M. A. N. Shaw, D. D. We laid before Mr. Harding those national wrongs of lynching, disfranchisement, Jim-Crow cars and federal segregation. In fact we presented the case as determined at the national race conference held by the League in Chicago last April.
Mr. Harding was frank to say that he would not cheat us in the race by rash or false promises, that he would search a practicable way for relief in the matters where Congress had jurisdiction. But he came out positively against the segregation of its own employees by the federal government.
In short, in the election of Senator Harding we have clear promise of a cessation of that form of race discrimination which now is practiced by the federal government itself which is the logical point at which to begin reform and relief.
your blood. America needs the deep religious faith. She needs it whether it comes from Catholic, Jew or Protestant. She needs it in her citizenship, and I recognize that the best of America is our spiritual life and not our material possessions, and that if America ever let her spiritual life die, she will no longer be the land we love.
"The expression of that spiritual life, alive in the hearts of the people of your blood, has, I believe, been the basis for the achievements of the American colored man. They are great and amazing achievements. They have been wrought not from words nor false claims, but by patience, tolerance, restraint, and by the earned rewards of that merit, capacity and worth in citizenship of which I will "let all true Americans know that the census of 1910 showed that over 87 per cent of the men and 54 per cent of the women of your blood were gainfully employed, a larger percentage in both cases, than the rest of us Americans.
"Let America know that the churches of the colored race have increased during a little more than half a century from 700 to 43,000. Let her know that home-owners have increased from 12,000 to 600,000, and farms operated from 20,000 to one million. Let America know that literacy among colored people has climbed from 10 per cent to 80 per cent. Let all true Americans know and recognize that during the war the colored race of America invested dollar out of every five they invested in war bonds. Let them know that 340,000 colored boys were in our army, with only one case of conviction for avoiding the draft.
Let Us Not Forget.
"But when we Americans of whatever color, render tribute to the record of the colored American, let us not forget to render tribute to America under whose institutions and among whose people their record was made. For I tell you—and through you I tell all Americans—that if your people have progressed in so amazing and inspiring manner, it must have been that America gave you opportunity. If you have risen by your merit, capacity, and worth, and not by agitation and violence and revolt against our institutions, it is proof that you have prospered under our institutions, and have loved them. "If the men and women of your blood have given, as we all desired to give, a great outpouring of treasury and blood upon the altar of patriotism it is because the truth was in your hearts—America has given you her great blessing of justice.
"You have it, and you shall have it. It will be good American citizenship and will continue to accord it to your people. If I have anything to do with it, it shall also be good American obedience to law. Brutal and unlawful violence whether it proceeds from those who break the law or from those who take the law into their own hands, can only be dealt with in one way by true Americans, whether they be of your blood or of mine.
"Fear not! Here upon this beloved soil you shall have that justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Fear not! Your bravery by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor, and belief in God will earn the right to that justice, and America will bestow it."
KILLING HAITIANS.
A Marine Sport, Writer Asserts.
New York—How American marines, largely made up of and officered by Southerners, opened up the machine guns from airplanes upon defenseless Haitian villages, killing men, women and children in the open market places; how natives were slain for "sport" by a hoodium element among these same Southerners, and how the ancient corvee system of enforced labor was revived and ruthlessly executed, increasing, through retaliation, the banditry in Haiti and Santo Domingo, was told by Harry A. Franck, the noted traveler and authority on the West Indies. Mr. Franck was in Haiti in January of this year on a tour of the Caribbean for the Century Magazine.
The natives were armed largely with obsolete and useless firearms, some even with seythes, to coax Mr. Franck, and it is to this fact rather than to the boasted marineship of the marines that he attributes the deaths of 3,000 blacks and of only twelve whites.
Wilson Is Blamed.
Mr. Franck blames Secretary Daniels and President Wilson for failing to control the situation in the black republic or to take steps to change the prevailing low value placed on the lives of the natives by the forces of occupation.
"I do not know these things of my own knowledge," said Mr. Franck.
"But I heard of them from many reliable sources, including sources friendly to the Americans, and I am certain in my own mind that they are true.
"While some killing was necessary, a good deal of it was uncalled for. One of the factors which I found responsible for conditions was that the marines stationed there were composed very largely of young Southerners, who looked down on the Haitian population, which is nearly 100 per cent black, and held native lives very cheaply. There was also a great pre-dominance of officers from the South. I found many earnest young Southern officers, who were undoubtedly doing duty to the best of their ability, but they took a harsh view of their duty and placed too much emphasis on the lives of black people. Further than that, there was a hoodlum element of young Southerners among the enlisted men who killed the blacks for sport. These were mainly men who did not get into the great war and were anxious to have military feats to their credit."

THE EVA WALKER RECITAL
Promises to Be a Splendid Affair in Every Way.
Editor THE APPEAL:
May we, through THE APPEAL express our grateful appreciation of the many evidences of popular support and encouragement of the Miss Eva Walker recital, to be given on Wednesday night, Oct. 27, in Minneapolis. Not to Miss Walker alone, but to every young woman or young man, studying to become more proficient and thus more useful to the community and the race, does such public recognition lend encouragement.
Miss Walker will be assisted in her recital by several, each of whom like Miss Walker, represents the highest development of our talented young people and each of whom is studying with a higher goal in view.
These include, Mrs Leon Abbey in violin performance, Miss Marienne Jeffrey at the piano, and Mrs. Harley Poore in a group of vocal numbers.
Several of the young men from the Dramatic Club, of which Miss Walker is director, will serve as ushers.
In view of the large numbers expected, the public is urged to avail themselves fully of the ushers' services. Respectfully,
DR. W. E. BURTON,
WM. M. SMITH.

Victim of a Deplorable Automobile
Accident Oct. 12.
By HAMLET B. ROWE
Six hours after his car had skidded and crashed into an electric light pole, at University and Washington avenues, on Tuesday, Oct. 12, Thomas Roxborough died at the General Hospital, Minneapolis.
The other occupants of the automobile, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Green, were also thrown out; Mr. Green's head struck the curbing and he was taken to the hospital. He only suffered a few minor injuries.
Thomas Roxborough was born April
Thomas Roxborough was born April 11, 1890, at Placquimie, La.
His father, a prominent attorney of Louisiana, later moved to New Orleans, where, for a number of years, he practiced law; subsequently he moved to Detroit, Mich, the present home of the Roxboroughs.
"Tom," as he was usually addressed by his frends, attended East High School at Detroit, where for three years he played "guard" on the basket ball team, and the last years was elected captain of the team, being the only colored man, in the history of Detroit, to hold such an honor. Roxborough was a versatile athlete, playing baseball two years, and football two years. After finishing high
THOMAS ROXBOROUGH.
school with honors, he was a member of McPark's Basket Ball Team one year and A. C. Spaulding's Sport Shop Basket Ball Team for a year and received $1.00 per minute for each game in which he participated. Following the advice of Horace Greeley, he came west in 1912, located in St. Paul, where he worked for an automobile concern, and was living there when the World War began. He answered the call of his country and went overseas as sergeant of Co. E. 809th infantry, 92nd Division. On his return home he and Joe Lyons engaged in business for a company in the interior he returned to the Twin Cities and was a resident of Minneapolis at the time of his fatal accident. He had been home only a few days from a motor trip through Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri, where he, his wife and son visited Mrs. Roxborough's birth place.
He was employed by Schmidt Schuster, Max Seimens & Co., and was greatly liked and respected by his employers, patrons and fellow workmen.
The deceased was a member of Ames Lodge 106, I. B. P. O. E. W. of Minneapolis, and also of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P.
His funeral was held at St. Peter A. M. E. church and was attended by his friends of both races. Among his white friends was Mr. Jens A. Fennesbeck, Supt. of Service at Rogers cafe, a former employer and who was a donor of a beautiful floral tribute.
The massive purple casket and all the space surrounding it in a radius of five or six feet was filled with beautiful floral tributes from those who knew and loed him.
He is survived by his mother, three brothers, Charles, Claude and John, the latter an attorney who came from Detroit to pay his last tributes of respect to his brother.
He also leaves a devoted wife, who in a vain attempt to save her husband's life eagerly gave a quart of her blood.
Roxborough possessed an amicable disposition, an engaging and pleasing personality, and his friends everywhere are legion.
Like his wife and relatives his comrades and pals will miss him and mourn his passage across the Great Divide.
May he rest in peace.
