LAYS IDLE FOR MANY YEARS Since the Fall of the Roman Empire This Once Fruitful Tract Has Been Uncultivated—To Reclaim Many Thousand Acres. Ostia, Italy.—Eforts are being made to reclaim and plant parts of the vast tract of land which stretches for several miles around Rome and goes by the name of the "Campagna Romana." It has been allowed to remain idle and uncultivated ever since the fall of the Roman empire. Before that time it was a sort of terrestrial paradise; villas and gardens were dotted all over it as far as the eye could see, it was luxuriant with fruits and flowers, it supplied food and work for thousands upon thousands of men, it was one of the most beautiful and intensely cultivated lands in the world. When Rome, however, was obliged to resign her position as "the mistress of the world," the "campagna" was abandoned and gradually became a marshy, malaria-infected desert, inhabited only by a few hardy shepherds. New Law Having Effect. Now, however, the law which was recently passed, decreeing that anyone who does not cultivate his land to the utmost of its capacity, is liable to have the land confiscated, is beginning to have its effects. Prince Aldobrandini has engaged a company to reclaim a huge estate of several thousands of acres, which he owns in the area. The work already has begun and an experimental station has been set up at Ostina. The land was first of all drained and then arrangements were made to obtain water from the Tiber for irrigation. Electric tractors to 'draw the plows were then bought and various kinds of fruit, vegetables and cereals were cultivated in order to find out how fertile the land is and what kind of crop it is most adapted Yields Plentiful Crops. The results were beyond the wildest hopes of any of the promoters of the company. The land, after lying idle for centuries, seems to have stored up its fertility throughout all that time and now yields crop upon crop with unstinting hand. An attempt has even been made to grow cotton here and the experiment has been successful, but how successful it has been impossible to determine, as the cottonseed used was of the worst quality obtainable. This year, however, it is proposed to plant American or Egyptian cotton. So happy have the results at the experimental station been, that it is hoped that soon work may be begun for the total reclaiming of the whole of the "campagna." BLACK CAT RESTORES SIGHT War Veteran Seees Dimly After Fright —Ducking in River Does the Rest. London—Charles Appleby, who went to France in the Royal air force in 1914, was severely wounded in the Ypres salient. He lay unconscious in Havre hospital for ten months with a fractured skull, and when he recovered, was blind. He was sent to St. Dunstan's hospital. While there, a black cat jumped on Appleby's head. The shock had the effect of enabling him to see just a glimmer of daylight with his left eye. He left the hospital and returned to Kingston, being able to go about with a dog to lead him. He wandered into the river a few weeks ago, but was rescued. It was then found that the shock of the immersion had partly restored the sight of the right eye. He was given several powerful electric shocks, and now, after having been blind for four years, he has fully recovered his sight. $100,000 Book, 700 Yrs. Old, Is Brought to U.S. Philadelphia—A book, 700 years old, valued at $100,000, was placed in the University of Pennsylvania for translation by Dr. William R. Newbold. It is said to have been written by Roger Bacon, some time between 1216 and 1262, and is an exposition of the laws governing life. The volume is the property of Dr. Wilfred M. de Voyniol, exile from Poland. Tegucigalpa, Honduras.—Two American aviators have arrived in Honduras with American-built flying machines bought for the war department. They are engaged for a certain period to teach flying and how to care for the airplanes. It is expected that in peace times the machines will be used to carry malls over the country where railroads are scarce and roads IS HAVEN FOR WEARY Doctors, Taxes, Policemen Unknown in Tristan da Gunha. Chaplain Tells of a Wonderful Island Where Lawyers and Pastors Never Inade. Buenos Aires.—The island of Tristan da Cunha is described as "an unspoiled haven of rest for the weary soul, a mecca for those who long for relief from worries of life," by the chapulín of the British cruiser Dartmouth, which has just returned from a visit to that isolated spot. "No need to worry over money there, for there is none," said the chaplain. "There are no taxes, no doctors, no lawyers, no clergymen, no policemen, not even a head man. Newspapers and mail arrive, with luck, about once every two years. "There is not even any medicine, for the last supply of remedies was thrown into the sea by the inhabitants, who are remarkably healthy. Epidemics are unknown. "Tristan is a British possession in the South Atlantic between South Africa and South America. Its snow-capped peak toweres nearly 8,000 feet above sea level. It is only 21 miles in circumference. The nearest inhabited place is St. Helena, 1,200 miles away. The island itself is of volcanic origin, the habitable portion of it being a tongue of fertile land at the foot of the precipices cliffs. "Sufficient potatoes are grown in plots to meet the needs of the inhabitants. Cattle and sheep were introduced years ago and many cattle now run wild. Clothes are only to be obtained by bartering from ships that call. For protection to the feet the people make moccasins of bullock hide. Wonderful socks are made by the women from wool carded by themselves. "From June to October of last year the people had been without bread, tea, coffee and sugar, but they all looked pretty well nourished." The reason there is no bread is that fifty or sixty years ago a shipwreck near the island allowed rats to get ashore, so that since that time no wheat has been raised. But the men say that they are going to try again when the next mail in a year or two brings them some seed wheat. In the meantime they are in no hurry; if there isn't any bread they can be contented on potatoes. 'And, to supplement their potatoes, fish are abundant, and cattle, and birds with their eggs, and seals. They want for many things, says the chaplain, nevertheless there appears to be little discontent, and few ever wish to leave the island. GOING TO SEA IN BOWL What is that old story about going to sea in a peanut shell? Almost the same thing here, only a brass kettle takes the place of the peanut shell. In some parts of India this conveyance is used by travelers for fording shallow streams. The mystery about the picture is to and the man's legs. The picture is to throw the pot of the pot of has he in some unguarded manner been able to double them up under him? It's a curious puzzle. SAXOPHONE LURE HITS ARMY "All Band Recruits at Columbus Barracks School Express Preference for "Jazz." Washington.—The lure of the saxophone has hit army musicians hard. Reports from Leader Weber, chief of the band recruit school at Columbus Barracks, Ohio, to the war department, say he is overwhelmed with requests for instruction in producing walling "jazz" melodies on this instrument. Leader Weber was enthusiastic about the progress of his 100 recruit hornblowers, but the department said other inhabitants of the reservation took a different view. The bandmen have been lodged in a bombproof building, "where all manner of strident harmonies can be practiced in safety." SUICIDE RATE IS 15 A DAY Cold and Hunger Cause Many to Seek Death in Budapest, Says State- ment of Police. Budapest—Cold and hunger are causing an average of 15 suicides daily in this city, according to an official statement by the Budapest police. A recent suicide was a former army officer who brought home a scant supply of wood and provisions, kissed his wife and three children and then took poison. Another former officer drew his monthly pension of 500 crowns, used it in buying one ample meal at a restaurant, and then went home and baned himself. Minnesota Historical Society THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1921 Oil King's Estate is Now Estimated at Between Three and Five Billion—Veritable Dynasty in Every Important Industry. New York—Fifty families in the United States control over $100,000,000 each, 100 families control over $50,000,000 each, and 500 families control over $10,000,000 each. John D. Rockefeller's estate is now up to $3,000,000,000. Industrially the United States is becoming dynastic—there is a veritable dynasty in each important industrial structure, some of which are: Sixty per cent of the tobacco trust wealth is in the hands of ten families. The family of the tobacco keeper family away in the lead, control 50 per cent of the oil industry. These startling figures on the concentration of wealth in the United States were obtained from Henry H. Klein, deputy commissioner of accounts of New York city and a deep student of economic affairs. He has spent ten years collecting concrete facts on the pyramid of American wealth. Mr. Klein's attention was called to the recent statement of George P. Hampton, managing director of the Farmers' National council, that 33 individuals own 2 per cent of the entire American wealth. He estimated that about $43,307,000. Mr. Hampton gave no names, but the following list of individuals and estates and their vast holdings, checked up to a recent date, was given by Mr. Klein: CHINESE KILL RUSS Captives Are Shot to Death With Revolvers. First Make Victims Dig Graves, Then Execute Them for the Bolshevik. 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 bolshevik 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 bolshevik to show me some 'real man-killing Chinese,' but I always was told they couldn't produce any just now because they had all gone to the war. "I was told the Chinese, if commanded by their own officers were excellent soldiers, but they run like hares 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 feared 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 coilers in which they came to Russia to the rank of soldier, of the soldier. "If the 'holtskist' (his name for bolshevik) 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 about it, just practical. "When boltskjå says kill, then he kills with an unperturbed face. And when boltskjå says, 'You may stop now,' with the same cool face he lets him go." The dependent 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 in New Mexico. 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 Raay, a sailor. De Raay alleges that after he had been severely, officers of the stewardship coast, 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 the harbor and carefully washed and thrown into great tanks filled with sterilized sea 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? It Just Grows Warren, O.—When Scout Executive Ilds asked a Warren boy scout for a definition of hash in an examination or a cooking merit badge the scout replied: "Hash is not made; it just accumulates." The model BIG WEALTH IN HANDS OF FEW Fifty Families in United States Control More Than $100,000,000 Each. ROCKEFELLER AT HEAD OF LIST Five billion dollars of wealth in the United States has been handed down to heirs, many of whom were incompetents, in the last fifteen years. Two hundred persons in the United States control $15,000,000,000. In France the same amount controlled by 480 times that number of people, or 83,000. The railroads of the country are controlled by 1.3 per cent of the stockholders. One and five-tenths per cent of the stockholders in the steel trust possess 51 per cent of the stock. Two families control 51 per cent of the stock in the harvester interests. There are many families Mr. Klein mentioned in the $40,000,000 class, and this includes Mrs. William Leeds, now Princess Christopher of Greece, and Alexander Smith Cochrane, until recently America's "richest bachelor" and now the husband of Mme. Ganna Wren, who is the owner of Mr. Klein's list, which is several pages long, does not go below the $10,000,000 class. Called Fire Department to Quench Flames Inside Him Seeing a man rush up to a fire alarm box and turn in an alarm, Patrolman Winner of the New York city police department, inquired where the fire was. "Inside me," gasped Joseph Marone of Wooster, "I drank booze and want the firemen to run a hose down my throat and extinguish the flames." The patrolman told the firemen where the fire was, but took Marone to the police station. Belgium Reclaiming its Soil. Washington—Belgium is making good progress rebuilding farms and rehabilitating agricultural production. Reports from the American consul at Brussels show that at the end of the first nine months of 1820 more than 61,755 acres of about 148,260 acres of war-swept soil had been put into condition for cultivation. OWN GAS KILLS HIM Chemist Commits Suicide Under Dramatic Circumstances. Pays All Debts and From- Remaining Stock of Chemicals Mixes Compound to Generate Gas. London.—Composing his own lethal gas, Constantine De Mereschevsky, a chemist and botanist of international repute, former professor in the University of Petrograd, committed suicide in a Geneva hotel under dramatic circumstances. Mereschevsky escaped from Russia with a small fortune, which was exhausted after two years' residence in Geneva, where he continued his research work and wrote a number of scientific books. When his funds were gone he was too proud to appeal for help, though in view of his high standing he could have obtained a handsome subsidy to pursue his studies from scientific associations in America, France and England 'had he stooped to solicit aid. He preferred to die. He scrupulously paid all his debts and then from his remaining stock of chemicals mixed a special composition which he poured into a receptacle, to which he attached a tube. At the other end of the tube was a mask which he placed over his face, and then binding himself to the bed released the gas which was given off from the composition. He died from asphyxiation. Firemen had to wear smoke helmets to remove the body from the room. 26,869 ALIENS IN SHANGHAI Entire Population Estimated at More Than 2,000,000—No Census of City Taken. Shanghai.—A quinquennial census taken in October in the French concession and the international settlement gives Shanghai a foreign population of 20,869, according to official records. A census of the entire city, native and foreign, has never been taken, but careful estimates place the population at more than 2,000,000. The international settlement has a foreign population of 23,807 and the French concession 3,562. In the two concessions the Japanese lead in point of numbers with 10,521. British are second with 6,385. Americans third, 2,813, and Russians fourth, 1,382. There are 849 Frenchmen in the two districts. The international settlement has 35 known different nationalities, with 18 of undefined nationality. The German population, which in 1915 totaled 1,155, has dwindled to 280. CONQUER YANGTSZE RAPIDS Hydraulic to Be Used to Effect Navi- gation Beyon Lake in Chil- dago River Gorge Shanghai.—By means of the hydrosis, which the British used successfully in Mesopotamia during the war, another effort, and one wholly novel to China, is to be made to conquer the rapids of the Yangtse gorges. At places there the current attains a velocity of more than thirty miles an hour. The ordinary head of navigation for steamers on the Yangtse is at Ichang, a thousand miles from the coast, but Szechuan, China's most populous province, and one of its richest, lies near the banks of miles further up the River, beyond which bandit-ridden country of the gorges. The use of the hydrosis on the upper Yangtse is the enterprise of a French company with headquarters in Shanghai. A number of these craft were sent up the Yangtse from Shanghai in December for trial runs. MILUKOFF GIVES UP LIBRARY Former U. of C. Professor Presents His Russian Collection to Stanford University. Stanford University, Cal.-Prof. Paul Milukoff, Russian secretary of foreign affairs after the revolution of 1917, and formerly a professor at the University of Chicago, has presented to Stanford university his private library on Russian history, said to be one of the most complete collections in existence, it was announced. The bulk of the library was collected while the donor was professor of Russian history at the University of Moscow. It had been in storage for six years in Heelsingors, Finland, whence it was shipped December 2 to this country. WOMEN TALLER AND HEAVIER Increase in Stature and Weight Attributed to Outdoor Life by Athletic Director. Philadelphia.—Women are growing taller and heavier, according to Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, director of physical education at the University of Pennsylvania. "Statistics of women's colleges covering a period of 60 years show the average college girl of today is an inch taller than the college girl of 1860, he said. "These statistics also prove the modern girl is six or seven pounds heavier." Doctor McKenzie attributed this increase in stature and weight to the increased interest in sports and outdoor life.

Efficiency of Air for Transmitting Radio Communications Affected by Changes of Moon. Paris—The changes of the moon have been found by the radio officers of the small American fleet in the Adriatic sea to have a striking effect upon the efficiency of the atmosphere for transmitting radio communications. The officers have succeeded in drawing curves and other diagrams, based upon months of observation, which, they assert, reliably serve to indicate what atmospheric and celestial conditions affecting radio service will be met at any particular date in the future. The discovery apparently has special application to the vicinity of the Adriatic, for there the changes in the atmospheric conditions caused by the change in the world's relation to the moon are much more marked than anywhere else in the world so far as yet discovered. The Adriatic fleet under Admiral Andrews depends almost entirely for its communications upon radio service, and having only receiving and sending apparatus of moderate efficiency it has specially benefited from the discoveries. The powerful land wireless stations, such as the new LaFayette station near Bordeaux, manage to overcome unfavorable conditions by great power and so are not concerned about which way the moon turns.

"As I shall apply the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, to legal service," he states, "I shall accept no employment to fight lawsuits, as counsel or assist others to do so, nor attempt to collect debts; though if I can assist people in keeping out of lawsuits or setting litigation in which they are already involved I shall consider I have rendered the highest legal service. I shall trust in God, not those whom I serve, for my compensation, making no fixed charge. My clients will pay me what they think is right and their means justify." HAWAII PRODUCING ALCOHOL Manufacture of Motor Fuel From Sugar Molasses Insures Emergency Supply. Honolulu, T. H.—Within two years the territory of Hawaii will produce enough motor fuel for its own needs, including the requirements of the army and navy forces here, should their bases of supply be cut off, according to Col. Howard Hathaway, collector of internal revenue. Commercial manufacture of fuel alcohol from sugar molasses has been made practical on a large scale by ammonia generators to internal revenue regulations governing the manufacture of denatured alcohol. Colonel Hathaway said. A small plant operated on a sugar plantation on the island of Maul is producing sufficient motor fuel for the plantation's own needs. Woman Branded. Bloomington, Ind.—When she failed to give food to a tramp who called at her home near Kirksville, Mrs. John Carmichael, forty-five years old, a farmer's wife, was attacked and branded in many places with a fattron she had been using. Her screams attracted persons passing by and a posse was organized to search for her assailant. Bloodhounds followed the trail of the Dixie Highway, nine miles south of here, where they lost it.

NEW JERSEY STARTS MOVE Experienced Fishermen Say That Supply of Migratory Fish Has Been Seriously Depleted—Other Sea- board States Are Sufferers. Newark, N. J.-A movement has been started in New Jersey to save from extermination the migratory fish which spawn in one place and move along the Atlantic coast with the changing of the seasons—such as mackerel, menhaden, herring and numerous other varieties peculiar to certain localities on this coast. Experimental fishermen declare that the supply of these migratory fish has been seriously depended by the pollution of the areas in which they spawn and by the reckless manner in which they have been caught in nets. The method proposed by the New Jersey Fish and Game Conservation league to prevent from extermination is to induce the United States government to take control of and regulate the catching of these fish and stop pollution of the spawning areas. It is contended that only in this way can the increasing cost of fish food to the consumer be checked or reduced. Four Fundamental Points. The four fundamental points in the New Jersey league's proposal for national legislation are: Protect spawning areas against pollution. Prevent fishing in spawning areas. Regulate the size of the meshes of nets so the immature fish cannot be caught. Protect the natural food supply of entable fishes. The fourth point has to do with one of the most perplexing phases of the salt water problem—the matter of the menhaden industry. The menhaden, otherwise known as mossbunken, which once swarmed along the coast in incalculable numbers, attracting hordes of edible fish that preyed on them, have been slaughtered right and left to produce oil and fertilizer. In the view of experts their end is not far off, and with their passing will disappear from Atlantic coastal waters many of such edible species as now remain. Fisheries Board Breaks Down. Efforts to cope with the problem through state regulation here have failed utterly, the last straw being the complete breakdown of the state board of fisheries, which had been created by legislative enactment with a view to increasing the supply of food fishes and reducing the cost to the consumers. The five members of the board resigned in a body in July, 1910, and there have been no reappointments. Investigation by a committee of veterian coast men disclosed an equally deplorable condition, it is said, in other words, that fisheries officials of Connecticut and Maryland agreed with those of New Jersey that a federal law was the only remedy. INTERNAL ORGANS MISPLACED Hospital Patient in Vermont Has Heart, Liver and Stomach on Wrong Side. Rutland, Vt.—William Bowen of West Charleston, Vt., twenty-six, a patient at the Vermont sanitarium in Pittsford, is a curiosity to the medical world. All his internal organs are on the wrong side. He has tuberculosis, but this has nothing to do with the misplaced organs. The transposition was discovered when an x-ray picture was taken by Dr. Clarence T. Ball here to determine the condition of the lungs. It had been known that Bowen's heart was not in the customary place, but the x-ray showed the stomach on the opposite side, the liver on the left instead of the right and the vermiform appendix on the left. Bowen is expected to recover from tuberculosis. French Baby Has Heart in Pouch Outside Body Paris.—Paris medical authorities were called to Soissons, to examine an infant born to a working family with heart and intestines contained in a pouch on the outside of the child's body. The case was said to be the first of its kind on record. There is every indication that the child will live, as all the organs are functioning perfectly despite their displacement.

"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, JANUARY 29, 1921 A PREDICTION VERIFIED. Some years ago, when the "Southern pastime" of lynching colored people was very largely indulged in, THE APPEAL predicted that eventually white men would be common victims of lynchers; and, the lynching statistics for 1920 show that our prediction was notably verified; as eight white men were lynchened during last year, among the sixty-one victims of mob murder—more than one-eighth of the total number. And, as white men became such common victims of Judge Lynch, white men began to see and disgrace more clearly, and very many articles have appeared from time to time condemning lynching. It makes all the difference in the world whose ox is heard-of thing for lynchers to be apprehended or indicted, as white men gored. It used to be an almost unwere the lynchers and colored people the victims; and, the usual coroner's verdict was that the victim "came to his death at the hands of persons, to the jury, unknown." It now, recently, seems that when a white person is lynched there is no trouble aobut identifying the lynchers who are very promptly arrested, tried and convicted by a jury of their peers. Only last week at Jasper, Ala., ten members of Co. M, state militia, were arrested charged with lynching a white miner, and a special grand jury returned indictments against nine of them. In this case all records for speed in criminal procedure in Alabama were smashed. At Geneva, Ala., a white man was lynched for making alleged insulting remarks about a woman. One of the lynchers, white, was convicted of manslaughter and was sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years. We now predict that white men who lynch colored ones will eventually be apprehended, arrested, tried and convicted for this horrible crime, in the South, as they recently have been in Duluth, Minn. So mote it be. "TO THE VICTORS BELONG THE SPOILS." It is with considerable satisfaction that we learn the Republican party THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friends 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. intends to claim ALL the "spoils of victory" accruing from their landslide last November. If party victory does not entitle the members of the victorious party to, at least, first consideration in the distribution of the plums, what is the use of doing one's bit in support of his party? Of course the present administration is trying by all ways possible to get Wilson's appointments and reappointments confirmed, but we are "dee-lighted" to note the Senate is doing nothing along that line. And, in so doing, the Senators are only following the precedent set by the Democrats eight years ago; who, prior to the inauguration of President Wilson, refused to confirm any Republican nominations sent in. Usually the Republicans begin to cater to or attempt to placate the Democrats after defeating them at the poles. They keep some Democrats in positions for their "ability" or "good of the service." This is all bosh, there's a good Republican who can fill any office now held by a Democrat just as efficiently, so we say, "turn the rascals out," and fill their places with 100 per cent Republicans. And don't draw any line on account of color or creed; some of the best Republicans are colored men that can deliver the goods wherever they may be placed, and we hope to see some of them placed. THE IMMIGRANT QUESTION. The hordes of foreigners who are planning to come to this country, if possible, are a menace to the opportunities of the native born colored working people who should be protected by appropriate legislation. Two suggestions have been offered with respect to proposed immigration legislation, in addition to the percentage basis submitted by Senator Dillingham. One is that the number of immigrants permitted to enter from any particular country be governed, as far as possible, by the percentage of that element of immigration which over a period of, say, the five years immediately preceding the war sought to be naturalized, the number to be regulated at the termination of each five—or ten-year period. Government statistics should be available for such solution. Another suggestion is to compel each immigrant to hold a license costing, say, $12 annually so long as he is not naturalized, without which he could not be employed. This would provide a source of Federal revenue and subject the immigrant to taxation which he now escapes. If it is worth coming here to work, it is worth paying for the privilege, and those races which take no interest in this country other than to receive high wages and then return should be penalized for their indifference to American institutions. The colored people all are citizens and taxpayers, and their interests should not be overlooked. MORE SCHOOLS FOR WASHINGTON Congressman Charles R. Davis of Minnesota is chairman of the subcommittee of the house appropriations committee charged with the preparation of the bill which provides funds for the upkeep of the city of Washington. For the past few weeks Mr. Davis' committee has been holding hearings in the course of which the municipal officials at the national capital have made known their needs for the coming year. There is a very pressing need for more school accom- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes co The human race ha test.

One of the features of the District of Columbia appropriation bill this year will be an unusually generous allotment for the schools, a program which has the hearty endorsement of Representative Davis. WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS. Some members of the Episcopal board of missions favor the raising of a fund of $1,000,000 for the purpose of converting the Jews, "because they are losing faith in Judaism and becoming atheistic. This move brought a quick retort from many of the rabbis, three of whom we quote: "Attempts to 'convert' the Jew have never been successful," said Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple, "and the thronged synagogues refute the charge that the American Jew is straying from his faith." Rabbi Stolz said that reports that the Episcopal Church might be induced to appropriate large sums for Christianizing the Jew were too ridiculous to discuss. Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Temple Sholom declared that Judaism was stronger than it had ever been and that the American Jew was one of its greatest factors. In Europe they have had for hundreds of years, a great way of "converting" the Jews by surrounding the ghettos and murdering men, women and children. In Hungary, recently, hundreds of Jews have professed Christianity to save the lives of themselves and families, but all of the certificates of baptism were overprinted in red, "Not good in case of pogroms (massacres)." The Jews of the United States will not rush to Christianity because they know that American Christians would then segregate them and compel them to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch them just as they have their colored brethren. ENFORCE THE 14TH AND 15TH AMENDMENTS. It is with very great satisfaction that we notice there seems to be some hope that, at last, the members of Congress have determined to form a plan for representation in that august body upon the basis of the voters permitted to participate in elections in the several states, rather than upon mere population, in Presidential and Congressional elections. Congressman George H. Tinkham, of Massachusetts, has introduced a resolution based upon the provisions of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution and showing that the representation from several states is not in keeping with those provisions. Notably in the Southern states, glaring ignoring of these constitutional amendments has been practiced for many years, giving eleven of these states 126 votes in the electoral college and 104 representatives in Congress on a total vote of all presidential candidates of 1,870,209. The state of New York, alone, cast a total vote of 1,706,354 but has only 43 representatives in Congress and 29 votes in the electoral college. On account of this flagrant ignoring of the 14th and 15th Amendments we have had the infliction of Wilson and Wilsonism' for the past seven years and ten months, and we most sincerely hope that the present Congress will make such a condition impossible for the future. ce when we should awards out of men. as climbed on probeen raised against e and lust, the in- I serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of "NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO "CHILD'S RELIEF ASSOCIATION" WON'T SEE." Representative Clark of Florida, speaking before the House census committee, denounced the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as an organization composed of "Meddling, fussing" persons who "are working on IGNORANT Negroes of the South to keep themselves in good positions." Mr. Clark needs a lot of information about the N. A. A. C. P. which he seems not to have, and his denunciation certainly shows his ignorance and color prejudice—another evidence of ignorance. Mr. Clark is, however, wise enough to see that if the object sought by the N. A. A. C. P. in its contention before the committee is obtained, his chances for polishing the seat of his pants on a seat in Congress will be mighty unsartin. Hence his objection. A NEW SENSATION. Missouri was treated to a new sensation this week, when Hon. W. M. Moore, the first colored man ever elected to its legislature, was sworn in and took his seat with the other members of the House. He was elected from a district in the fashionable "West End" of St. Louis. It is hoped that he will make good and that other colored men will follow him until a colored legislator will create no sensation whatever. THE STATISTICAL CHUMP. Our idea of an ignoramus in the field of economics is a man who tries to show variations in the cost of living by quoting wholesale prices. Consumers, who pay the cost of living, do not buy at wholesale. COLORED COLONIAL8. 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 men and induce 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 emancipation. But while the general question of emancipation was defeated, the exigencies of the contest again and again brought up the practice of employment for colored men, whether or free. Only Freemen Wanted in Army. In May, 1775, Hancock and Warren's committee of safety introduced the following formal procedure, solved. That it is the opinion of this committee, as the contest now between Great Britain and the colonies respects the liberties and privileges 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 principles that are to be supported and that are supported these colonies, and that no slaves be admitted into this 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 American man who also be noticed that they were forbidden to "any person who is not an American born, unless such person has a wife and family and is a settled man 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." Free colored men stood in the ranks by the side of white men. In the beginning of 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, consisting 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 Massachusetts Bay, to confer with Gen. Washington to vise a method for renovating the army. On the 22d of October the 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 altogether. In general orders, issued November 18, 1775, Washington says: "Neither negroes boy unable to bear arms, nor old men unable to confer the fatigues 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 fearing that they might seek employment in the British army, took the responsibility to depart from the resolution respecting them and gave loco-motion to their being enlisted. Washington believed there was any objection on the part of Congress he would discontinue the enlisting of colored men, but, on January 15, 1776, Congress determined "that fully in the army at Cambridge may be re-enlisted therein, but no others." The entire aspect of the affair 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 who were insurgents, to prevent insurrections among the colonies 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 patrons of the Revolution are as much entitled as the 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. Formed at Bethesda Baptist Church, Minneapolis. On Monday evening of last week, at Bethshea Baptist church, a "Child's Relief Association" was organized, the general purpose and purpose which will be to create a secure and establish a home for the abode of children. The officers of the Association are: Mrs. Jos. D. Bryan, president; Mrs. John Chatham, vice president; Mr. Robert Willis, Mr. Edw. Parker, recording secretary. Officers of the board of managers: Mr. John Sellers, chairman; Mr. Robt. Willis, treasurer; Mrs. Chas. M. Foree, secretary. Chairmen of Committees: Mrs. M. E. Short, house and grounds; Mr. Theos. Brown, publicity. The Advisory Board and Chairmen of Committee on Entrance, Finance, Purchasing and Entertainment will be named at a later date. The regular meetings will be held on the 2nd Monday of each quarter. The Association has 200 charter members. The next meeting will be held in 2812 Elliott Ave. at 8:30 o'clock LESSONS FROM THE BIRDS. The crowds are supposed to be wise old guys. "Said one old crow unto his mate: "What shall we do for hash to eat?" We naturally feel that this old fellow had an eye to business and realized the responsibilities of family support that rested upon him and was going to make good. "A crow sat on a railroad track, Picking his teeth with a carpet tack." We naturally think that he was a lazy, shiffler, improvident guy, and that he never amounted to anything. Probably he never had a savings bank account in his life, and when he died, very likely his friends had to take up a collection to bury him. Some crows are not very wise after all. Some of the birds are the busiest people in town. Mr. and Mrs. Bird go South for the winter and come back in the spring and find their last year's house demolished, no home to go to. They do not sit down in idleness and improvidence and mourn their loss. On the contrary they keep smiling and sing their sweetest songs and work like Trojans, and the house is built and a growing family is provided for; and when the little family comes, Mrs. Bird stays at her home and takes care of them, and Mr. Bird gets out and hunts for food. GILLESLETS. Every man makes his own luck. Worldliness leads only to the grave. Seasonable is always good weather. Man can rule, but God can overrule. God can overcome the mistakes of men. You can't get anywhere until you start. Only the present time is yours. Improve it. Nothing in this world is good enough. The Bible has a message for every occasion. The good will of even a dog will do no one any harm. Regular family meals and regular family worship would solve many family problems. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you; and do it first, last and all the time. Chewing, otherwise than in masticating one's regular food, gives a person an uncultivated appearance. We love bad people for what they ought to be; and, at the same time disapprove of them because of what they are. Good morning, Mr. Blank, how are you? Oh, fine thank you, fine. That is right, Mr. Blank, there is no money in anything else. In waiting upon a customer, always assume that his time is worth something to him, and that his disposition of it is worth something to you. The best salesmanship is the art of leading the people to buy what you want them to buy; and, what they will always be glad, afterwards, that they did buy.

An Old and Highly Respected Citizen Is Called to His Reward. Tho’ “tis given unto all men t die,” the rider of the pale horse is usually, a very unwelcome caller. He, however, is no respecter of persons and great or small he calls on all. One of his latest calls, in this city was made at the’home of Mr. Blakely Russell Durant, 839 Payne avenue, of jast Sunday, Jan. 23d, and he wa: found dead in the toilet, a vietim of heant trouble. The deceased was a long time resi- dent of the city, and was a very use- ful ‘and highly respected citizen whose place will be hard to fill. Mr. Durant was born.in Mercer County, Ohio, near Carthagenia, July 17, 1854, and therefore was over 66 years of age. He was a son of Blakely Durant, a great singer, who came to St. Pau in 1866 and was familiarly known among the old-timers as, “Old Shady. At one time his home was on the present site of the: Golden Rule de- partment store. He ° subsequentls moved to Grand Forks, N. D., but again returned to St. Paul. ‘The deceased began his schooling at a school called “Little Adams,” located on the present site of the new postoffice. He subsequently at tended Berea College at Berea, Ky. and later went to the University o! North Dakota, and acquired a gooc education. He- was married in Mendota, Ill. and his wife died about five year: ago. They had no children.
