WIFE OF PORTRAIT PAINTER Saye European Men Are Not Brought Up With the ideals of Marriage and Womanhood That American Men Are. New York.—"If American girls who are contemplating marriage with foreigners will only listen to me and take warning from my unfortunate experience with a distinguished foreigner, to whom I gave my love and devotion, I will feel repaid in a measure for the ordeal through which I have passed and the humiliation I must now endure. "Most men from the continental European countries are not brought up with ideals of marriage and womanhood which American girls are taught to believe American men have. They make bad husbands for an American girl, and my advice to girls is to pick out an American for a husband." That is what Mme. Pierre Tartoute, wife of the noted portrait painter, said in discussing her marriage and her suit for separation just started. Mr. Tartoute is said to be in the Adirondacks. His studio is said to have been subtlet to Rene Van Lennenga friend. Since Mme. Tartoute departed from her home over a month ago in the middle of the night, following a series of alleged sensational incidents in and near the studio, she has been living in seclusion with her mother, Mrs. R. Bengue Barnett. Tells of Persecution. Light on the nature of her disagreement, with her husband was shed by Mine. Tartoute during her interview. She said: "The persecution to which I was subjected by two elderly women will be made public during the trial. "I lent my Pierre for publicity purposes much against my own inclination. He told me it would help him. "I lent him money as well, as most American girls who marry foreigners find they are obliged to do for the sake of preserving their homes and saving their husbands from financial difficulties. My family and friends have reason to know intimate details concerning these financial transactions. "I sacrificed myself on the altar of Pierre's art and I soon discovered he did not appreciate it. This is my attitude toward my husband. I have no animosity in my heart, only pity. "After I was Pierre's wife he constantly told me I was no longer an American woman. He said I was under the French law here and married a French citizen. He told me I would have to bear half the expense of our establishment and that French women had no rights. Helped in His Work. "Pierre told me he was madly in love with me. I was madly in love with him. He told me and told my friends I was the most beautiful American girl. He told me I was an inspiration to him in his art. Believing implicit in him and in his genius, I helped him every way I could. I even posed for him for portraits of myself, and I posed for the hands and gowns of some of his best portraits. Among those were the portraits he painted last year of Mrs. Frederick Brooks of New York, Mrs. Harold Brooks and Miss Ruth Shoelhoe. "After he had painted a portrait of me with my wedding well over my head, some critics told him it was one of the best pieces of work he had ever done. When he painted the 'God of Happiness,' which now hangs in the Alfred I. du Pont home on Long Island, I helped him with my suggestions. "I found, however, that Pierre did not appreciate me. With my own hands I used to cook him little studio dinners so that at the end of the day, when he was tired out from painting, he would not have to go out for dinner. Those were halcyon days when Pierre and I were by ourselves night after night in our studio. When the thing was real, it was so ideal. "We were married October 14, 1919, and I will never forget the promises he made that day, for he did not keep a single one of them." Infant Sent to Dentist Kennethe, S. D.—The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Coyours of this place has gained a unique distinction. The baby is only three weeks old but she was born with one tooth. Nor is that all. Within a week after her birth it was found necessary to extract the tooth. So Miss Coyours may boast of not only having been born with a tooth but of having had dental attention before she was a week old. Will Take "Bug" Census in School. Cleveland—A "bug" census will be taken by the students of a Cleveland high school. Members of the biology class will scrape the walls of the building and collect all the bacteria under the microscope and study the species that they are learning. HISTORIC TRACT BEING RECLAIMED Famous "Campagna Romana" Is Being Cultivated and Is Yielding Big Crops. LAYS IDLE FOR MANY YEARS Since the Fall of the Roman Empire This Once Fruitable 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 spots 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 "campagna." The work already has begun and an experimental station has been set up at Ostia. 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 for. 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 Sees 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 Voynich, exile from Poland To Teach Hondurans to Fly. Tegucigalpa, Honduras—Two American aviators have arrived in Honduras with American-built flying machines for the war department. They are engaged in teaching to teach flying and how to care for the airplanes. It is expected that in peace times the machines will be used to carry mails over the country where railroads are scarce and roads THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, MARCH 5 1921 U. S. TRADE INCREASE Report Shows Record-Breaking Foreign Business in 1920. Exports to the Leading Allies in the War Fell Off Sharply, Says Commerce Department. Washington, D. C.—Increased trade with Germany, South America, the Orient, West Indies and North America accounted in large measure for the record breaking foreign business of the United States in 1920. A compilation of American exports and imports last year by countries, issued by the department of commerce, shows that exports to Great Britain, France and Italy fell off sharply. Those countries, however, increased their shipments to the United States; as did practically all the other important nations. American trade with the four principal South American countries—Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay—totaled approximately $1,044,000,000, as compared with $117,000,000 in 1919. American exports to these countries increased more than $100,000,000, totaling $475,000,000, whereas imports from these countries increased only about $25,000,000, the total being $587,000,000. Trade with Germany during the year nearly quadrupled, aggregating $400,000,000, but fell far short of that before the war. Exports to Germany reached $311,000,000, against $89,000,000 the year before, and imports from that country totaled $292,000,000, as compared with $10,000,000 the year before. American trade with Cuba alone in 1920 exceeded $1,200,000,000, increasing nearly $500,000,000 when compared with 1919. Exports of $515,000,000 to the island republic showed an increase of $247,000,000, while imports of $721,000,000 from the republic presented an increase of $303,000,000. Spain was the only principal European country which increased its purchases of goods in the American market. SNEEZE, STUDENTS GET GATE Offenders in Boston School Sent Direct to Physicians for Examination and Treatment. Boston.—Sneezing in a classroom at Massachusetts Institute of Technology draws the gate for the offender. Orders from Dr. George W. Morse, head of Tech's new medical department, instructed members of the faculty to send sneezers and coughers directly to the school clinic, where they can be taken care of. The epidemic of infectious colds, the order says, has brought the doctors to this drastic step. Not only those who give audible evidence of the possession of a cold through a cough or a sneeze, but even those who, perhaps through an over-red nose, apparently are in the grip of the thing are to be sent to Doctor Morse. CHEROKEES FORGET OLD ROW Indian Nation Reunited After Split Over Slavery at Time of Civil War. Talequah, Okla.—Tribal differences dating back to the Civil war, when the powerful Cherokee Indian nation broke into factions over the question of slavery, were wiped out here when several hundred delegates met and unanimously elected Levi Gritts of Muskogee, a full-blood, as principal chief, Levi Cookson, a mixed blood, living near Gore, Okla., was chosen assistant chief. For the first time in the history of the nation white men, members through intermarriage, sat at the council and voted. Many of them were unable to speak Cherokee and the proceedings frequently were halted while translations were made. SPEED CRAZE HITS INDIA Three Cartloads of Motorcycles Arrive at Jellilabad for Dispatch Service. Bombay—Life in Afghanistan is speeding up, writes a frontier correspondent of the Times of India. Three cartloads of motorcycles have recently arrived at Jellilabad for Prince Kasir Jan, the director of communications, who intends to organize a dispatch rider service throughout the country. Orders have been issued by the Amir's government for contracts to construct macadamized roads through the country to the capital, and for the importation of automobile vehicles Firms are also invited to establish woolen mills and sugar refineries at Kabul, the capital. Seeks to Calm Married Life. Seattle, Wash.—Justice of the Peace C. C. Dalton announced his purpose to establish a court of domestic relations for adjustment of family troubles under the Washington "lazy husband" act and cases of desertion and nonsupport. It will be the first domestic relations court in Washington. Mennonites to Settle in Mississippi. Winnippeg.—An agreement has been concluded between representatives of an American land syndicate and H. M. Klassen, representing Mennonites of Manitoba, Canada, whereby they will purchase 125,000 acres in Mississippi for colonization, a newspaper in Winnippeg has announced. GERMAN MIND IS UNCHANGED War Fails to Jar Conceit of Teuton, Says Observer of Long Experience. MENTAL ISOLATION ABSOLUTE Unable to Understand How They Are Detested—The German of Today Is to All intents and Purposes The Same as in 1913. London. — Although Berlin has changed since 1914, the German mind remains unchanged. Neither the holocaust of dead nor the crash of thrones has shaken Germany out of her self-conceit, according to what G. Valentine Williams, formerly correspondent of Bentner's Agency in Berlin, tells the London Daily Mail. "The German mind," he says, "does not seem to have altered. "Albeit sadly puzzled to account for the utter break-down of the entire German system, in his outlook on life the German of 1920 is to most intents and purposes the German of 1913. In a world which to British eyes is strangely changed by five years of World war the mental isolation of the German is absolute. To talk to him makes you feel that the German of today is the loneliest creature on God's earth. "Yet with heavy deliberation he is communicating with himself to ascertain the causes of his defeat. But he is not examining his competence. "Any Berlin bookshop will show you the chaos prevailing in the German mind. Nothing of the Present. "Professor Steinach's rejuvenation experiments, Einstein's theory of light, Maynard Keynes' and Norman Angell on the Versailles. Peace—both books in German translations and prominently displayed—treatises on spiritualism, atheism, free love, and the like—works of this description stand side by side with a mass of frankly pornographic literature. Here will you find reasoned explanations for the past, complicated schemes for the future, but nothing practical to deal with the problems of the present. And above all, no contribution for Germany's crime against men. "The German surgeon the world from his castle of militarism. Now that it has collapsed he is left foundering in a sea of doubts and fears. The Germans with whom I have spoken expect us to hold them guillotts of the past because, they say, they have rid Germany of her military caste. "They have, it is true, expelled the bloody-minded blunderers surrounding that eminent nonentity, William the Second-rater, because they failed to keep their promise to establish German world-domination. But the German people is governed by the herd instinct, and the expulsion of the Old Gang in the circumstances of military defeat and home panic, in which the Hohenzollern were sent away repremi- ting the lighter evidence of a change of heart or forthcoming in Germany today, if it is to be accepted as a proof of the death of German militarism. Blank Indifference. "Talk to a Frenchman of any class, and you will, sooner or later, come upon a well-banked but fiercely smouldering Republican ardor. Talk to a German about his government and you will find, at the best, lukewarm interest; at the worst, resentful ridicule towards the German Republic. "The average attitude is one of blank indifference. The German man in the street never thought for himself. He does not do so today. The question of the future is, what party will emerge from the present chaos to do his thinking for him? "The Germans are perfectly willing to forgive us for the war. They talk glibly about 'this unhappy war' with the air of a man making perfunctory excuses for some social lapse. In some may be detected in addition a little air of condescension in speaking of the late unpleasantness as though to draw attention to their magnanimity in accepting the war as an inevitable catastrophe, 'an act of God,' as the insurance policies say. And even today I find that the great majority of Germans have no idea of the abhorrence in which the very name German is held in the Anglo-Saxon countries and in France and Belgium." SEEK FRUIT FLY PARASITE Indian Bug to Be Introduced in Territory to Save the Hawaiian Products. Honolulu, T. H.-David T. Fulaway, entomologist with the territorial board of agriculture, will leave soon for India to search for certain fruit fly parasites discovered by George Compere at Bangalore, India. If the parasite can be located, it will be introduced in the territory to combat fruit files here. Bought Cap He Had Thrown Away. Perth Amboy, N. J.-A cap purchased by Howard Tapper, an overseas veteran of the World war, in a renovated army goods store here, in France after the armistice. It contained his name written on the under side of the band. 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 D 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 exchanged after two years' residence in Geneva, followed his research work and wrote 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 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 he gave off from the composition. He fled from asphyxiation. Fireen had to 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 London in the French concession and the international settlement gives Shanghai a foreign population of 28,869, according to official returns. 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, 3,838, and Russians fourth, 1,382. There are 846 Frenchmen in the two districts. The international settlement has 55 known different nationalities, with 18 of undefined nationality. The German population, which in 1915 totaled 1,155, has dwindled to 280. CONQUER YANGTSZE RAPIDS Hydrosilide to Be Used to Effect Navi- gation Beyond Gorges in Chinese Stream. Shanghai.—By means of the hydro- shide, which the British used success- fully 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 Suzhou China's most populating pro- nince, and one of its richest, lies nearly four hundred miles further up the river, beyond the wild bandit-ridden country of the gorges. The use of the hydrosilides 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 or 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 Helsingfors, 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 1800, 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.

NEW JERSEY STARTS MOVE Experienced Fishermen Say That Supply of Migratory Fish Has Been Seriously Depleted—Other Seaboard 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 localities on this coast. Experienced fishermen declare that the supply of these migratory fish has been seriously depleted 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. Effort to cope with the problem through states. He has 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, 1919, and there have been no reappointments. Investigation by a committee of veteran 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 as 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. 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 women with heart or organs are functioning perfectly despite their displacement. Sharon, Pa.—A "religious" gas well which does not produce on Sunday is owned by the Champion Oil and Gas company of McKeesport. The well produced gas every day during July, except on the four Sundays, according to a report made by Sigmund Josephthal, secretary-treasurer of this company, addressing a meeting of stockholders here. $2.40 PER YEAR. BIG WEALTH IN HANDS OF FEW Fifty Families in United States Control More Than $100,- 000,000 Each. ROCKEFELLER AT HEAD OF LIST 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 each. 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 in France the same amount is controlled by 480 times that number of people, or 96,000. Dynasties to Fore. 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. Twelve families, with the Rockefeller family away in the lead, control 50 per cent of the oil industry. 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. These startling figures on the concentration of wealth in the United States were obtained from Henry H. Klein, in the New York city and a deep student of economic affairs. He has spent ten years collecting concrete facts on the pyramiding 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 this 2 per cent at about $4,837,000. But the following list of individuals and estates and their vast holdings, checked up to a recent date, was given by Mr. Klein: 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" of Mme. Ganna Walska, opera singer. 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, O. "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 in Prague show that at the end the first nine months of 1920 more than 61,775 acres out of about 148,200 acres of war-swept soil had been put into condition for cultivation.

THE N. A. A. C. P. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has begun a drive for a quarter of a million members; and, one of the methods employed to arouse the people to a sense of their duty as human, law-abiding American citizens, is the sending out of 10,000 copies of a large 8x11 eight-page pamphlet containing fac-simile accounts of lynchings in newspapers in the south. This ought to help a lot. EFFECT OF PROHIBITION IN ST. PAUL. While THE APPEAL is not an ardent advocate of Prohibition, it believes that along some lines, there has been much reduction in crime under prohibition laws. The research specialist of "The Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church" has made a report of what he found, here as follows: July 1, July 1, 1918, 1919, to July 1, July 1, 1919, 1920, 180 1837 89 129 463 445 80 41 19 10 461 300 3,130 1,150 56 53 40 53 40 3 15 14 6 6 3 21 9 34 26 70 1 387 449 Assault and battery.....Burglary.....Larceny, grand and petit.....Begging.....Careless driving.....Disorderly conduct.....Drank (and disorderly).....Sex crimes, bastardy, etc.....Keeping and visiting resortsSituate walking.....Murder.....Non-support.....Loitering.....aSloon laws.....Vagrancy In 1919 the arrests for drunkenness totaled 49.7 per cent of the whole number of arrests; in 1920 they were only 22 per cent of the total number, and a falling off of 66.1 per cent of the year before. Two thousand two hundred and five arrests less in a year means less work for the police department, less cost in the police stations and jail, less suffering and disgrace to wives and children and oftimes less men later in the workhouse and penitentiary. THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cover 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. The increase in burglary can be accounted for by men trying to break into cellars and drug stores, where they thought they might find drink. The increase in vagrancy is possibly caused by some of the men not having saloons to spend the night in and were compelled to spend their time upon the streets. 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. 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 --- 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 senses be sweeter than th world, the counten the hearts of friend 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. once when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- s serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. them just as they have their colored brethren. _____ "NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO 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. SEGGREGATION BY CENSUS The United States assumes that a group of about 10,000,000 people are Negroes and proceeds to so classify them. More than ninety-nine per cent of the persons so classified were born in America of American parents, and their parents were Americans and so on back for ten generations. If a man whose ancestors for many generations is not an American, who is entitled to the name? If a white man can become an American in two generations, why should a person of any other color born in this country fall to "arrive" in the same space of time? The name "Negro" applied to a group of citizens in this country is inaccurate, because it does not include forty or fifty million other Americans who have more or less Negro blood. The expression "pure race" is anymth so all great writers on racial questions agree. The mixing of blood in this country has gone so far that it is impossible to determine with any degree of accuracy who has Negro blood and who has not, and for the Government to select about 10,000,000 people and say that they are "Negroes," and by that act to aid in making them a separate treatment in church and state, is to perpetrate a great wrong. It is an infamous thing for the government of this great republic to draw the color line in any way. In a republic every citizen should have exactly the same status so far as the government is concerned. There is no reason why a Democracy should attempt to classify its citizens by their blood. All persons born in this country should be considered Americans without any prefixes or suffixes. CHARITY MAKE COWARDS "Charity makes for slaves, cowards and sycophants," said "Mother Jones" of Colorado mine field fame, recently. Her words are true. Men cheat their employees out of what is their just due and become rich and when they have accumulated millions they pose as "philanthropists" and endeavor to perpetuate their names by giving money for libraries or "charities," or Christian (?) associations. Instead of being great philanthropists, these men, in many cases, are simply thieves who really ought to be in prison for having robbed their fellow men. No class has suffered more from the "philanthropies" of these rich thieves than the colored people and their ne- --- who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be hearts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or Charles Sumner farious work has been aided by so-called colored leaders who have taken the role of public mandicants and have begged for money to organize Jimrow institutions and thus prevent their own class from securing their rights as American citizens. The product of the segregated institution is usually a crop of young colored people with slavish instincts; cringing cowards, service sycophants. Great God deliver the people from such charity and give them justice. FIND LIKENESS OF AUGUSTUS Archaeologist Discovers Splendid Statue of Roman Emperor at Tivoli. Valuable Addition to Portraits of Roman Emperors and Is Only One Extant Done During Emperors Life. Rome.—Tivoll, that lovely little city perched above Rome, called Tibur by the ancient Romans, has just given to the archaeological world two new art treasures—an augustum, or hall, and a splendid head of Emperor Augustus. Prof. Alessio Valle, one of the archaeologists who have made Tivoll a special study, long believed that Tivoll should reveal an ancient hall of importance, considering the flourishing state of the city in Roman days. He began to dig near a newly discovered weights and measures office, also dating from the Roman empire, thinking that the public weights and measures must surely be near some important hall. He was not mistaken. He has opened up a hall with a Roman pavement of white and green marble which looks as if it were put down this morning, so fresh is it, and the statue of Augustus, broken but with the head intact, as the picture shows, with the lifelike lines cut out of the marble by some unknown sculptor of evident genius. Likeness of Augustus. The statue is a likeness of Augustus when he had grown old. An inscription underneath it, which dedicates the statue to the gods, "for the happy return in good health of our Augustus Caesar," proves it was done during the famous emperor's lifetime, a votive offering to the gods by a loyal Tivoli citizen who signs himself M. Veranus Diflius. The same man gave the public weights and measures to the city. History lets us date this statue between B. C. 31 and A. D. 14, when Emperor Augustus died near Naples, aged seventy-six. Experts say the face is the face of a man of fifty. In the worn lines, the ill-tempered mouth, its upward twist at the left side, we have no flattering picture of the great emperor, but a lifelike study by an artist who dared to cut his statue as he saw the human model. For this reason, and because of its surely being done in Augustus' lifetime, it is a very valuable addition to the collection of portraits of the Roman emperors, and probably the only one extant of Augustus done during his lifetime. The figure, which originally sat on the pedestal at the head of the hall, is graceful, as Suetolus, that gossipy historian from whom scribes have learned nearly all they know about the Roman emperors, told us, saying: Graceful Person. "He was a very graceful person through all the stages of life, though he was very careless in his dress and would set several barbers to work upon his hair together, and would sometimes clip and sometimes shave his beard, and at the same time would be reading or writing." Augustus, though emperor, called himself a democrat and, says Sutelus, "always abhorred the title of lord as a scandalous affront." He tells us, too, that the emperor caught cold easily and wore woolen underwear in winter, "with a thick wool toga." This broken statue, with the base on which it stood, unearthed after so long bridges the gulf of centuries and brings one of the greatest rulers the world ever saw very near. NAVY NOT QUITE SOBER YET Drunkness Leads as Cause for Trial of Men Despite Prohibition, Says Official. Washington.—Drunkness continued to be the principal cause for trial of enlisted men of the navy for desertion or overstaying leave during the last fiscal year, according to the annual report of Rear Admiral George R. Clark, judge advocate general, to Secretary Daniels. Of 1,725 such cases during the year pleas of drunkness were entered in 384 cases. The excuse, "having a good time" was given in 382 cases. Homesickness caused 90 sailors to take "French" leave, and in eight cases the plea was entered that the work on board ship was too hard. More than 41,000 cases were tried by court-martial during the year. Living With Bullet in Heart. Omaha, Neb.-James Freeman of this city has a bullet in his heart and is still alive. He told the police he was shot by his wife, from whom he had been separated, when he returned home after he is said to have threatened her. She met him at the door and fired polythank. He walked to the police station, nearly three miles away, where medical attention was given him. He was removed to a hospital and an X-ray taken which showed the bullet nestling in the heart. Disappointments and losses will come, but they may be overcome. When Mr. and Mrs. Bird return from the South in the spring and find their last year's house demolished, they sing their sweetest songs and work like Trojans, and a new house is built and a growing family provided for. I want to encourage you to be a sticker and a stayer. As someone has said: The postage stamp sticks to one thing until it gets there. It is the straight and narrow path that leads to success in any line. Concentration of effort is the thing that counts. The trouble with many old shot-guns is that they scatter too much. So while they may do a good deal of shooting, they don't do much hitting. We have all heard of course of the man who had too many irons in the fire. We have all heard of course of the man who was a jack of all trades and master of none of them. I want to encourage you to have something definitely in view, and get right after it. Someone has said: This one thing I do. It is better to do one thing and do it well than to undertake many things and not do any of them well. In railroading, the application of sand to the slippery tracks, enables the engine to stick to the rails and pull the load. On other occasions, it enables the engine to stick to the rails and hold the load back, and thus avoid running away with itself, all of which is encouraging suggestive of "sand" or "crit" in life. I want to encourage you to be tremendously in earnest. Earnestness puts the steam into things, and steam makes things go. Someone has said: I press towards the mark. In other words, I bring pressure to hear upon myself. In other words, I crowd myself into the work of life. In other words, I am tremendously in earnest. It is surprising what earnestness harnessed up with a lot of other good accomplish. Life is a good deal like a wheelbarrow. You apply the push, and it goes. I want to encourage you to refrain from whining. The world like a little baby, but it does like a big baby. Supposing the world is out of joint at both ends, whining won't help it any. A stiff upper lip will help you over many a hard place, and keep the confidence and respect of those about you, while a whine will lead people to think you are a sissy boy, and despise you accordingly. I want to encourage you to avoid the habit of impatience. Impatience in the life is like friction in the machinery. It makes it run hard and wear out quiek, and is a constant annoyance and unhappiness while doing so. Now in closing, I want to encourage you in everything that is good, the highest ideals and purposes, the loftiest inspirations and aspirations of life. TALK YOUR WORK UP. I beg of you, do not talk your work down. You cannot build it up by talking it down. If you cannot talk it up, for gracious' sake keep still and say nothing. We don't have much trouble about what we don't say. If you must tell your troubles to someone, tell them to God, but don't tell them to the people around about you. No business man or professional man or any other man who has thought things through properly ever talks about the difficulties of his work either publicly or in his work. The general of an army should know full well the difficulties that confront him, but the less he says about them the better. Knowing and talking are two different things. It is said that Von Moltke was once asked to what he attributed the success of his work of Wellington as a great general. His answer was that he attributed it to the fact that he could hold his onue in seven different languages. If we can hold our tongues in even one language, it will help a whole lot. A cheerful front is half of the battle. Don't become sour. Don't become a grump. Don't become a sorehead. Keep seriously sweet or sweetly serious. Especially in closing a work, keep mum and keep sweet no matter how hard it may be. Did you ever notice that "talk" doesn't hurt a man? Perfection isn't looked for in a man, and when some one tries to injure a man by ranting about a few faults he has, the absent one who is probably attending to his own affairs, is elevated in the hearer's estimation, while the informant is lowered accordingly. If a man knocks along doing fairly well, people realize that while he has some faults, he has more virtues, and they are charitable enough to overlook these faults. But it is difficult with a girl or woman. No matter how good and pure a woman may be, let someone start an infamous lie about her and too many people are willing to pass it along, and there is always some one to believe it. That lie can never be lived down. It may burn low, but gossip loving lips are ready with new fuel. Did you ever think how damnably mean some goody-goody people are in this respect?—Exchange Value of Small Advertisements. The editor of The American Press advises publishers to cultivate the small accounts more intensely. Ten advertisers using six inches, each weekly is better, it says, than one advertiser using 60 inches. To have a large number of small advertisers is much safer from a business standpoint, it contends, than to rely upon a few large users of space for necessary revenue.

SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1921. Mrs. J. R. Wilson spent last week in St. Paul, the guest of Mrs. N. W. Goins, 661 Central Ave. Ames Lodge, Elks, held a special session Thursday night for the purpose of fitting horns on thirty new members. The T. S. T. C. club was entertained at a delightful dinner on Thursday evening by Dr. J. H. Redd, 2835 Aldrich Ave. Charles Ellis, convicted of holding up a woman on Jan. 11, was on last Monday sentenced to prison for an indefinite period. The Maids and Matrons Club of the Twin Cities met with Mrs. Daisy Burton, 2824 Fifth Ave. South, last Wednesday afternoon. The Entertainers' Cafe (fommerly Stewart's), 246 Fourth Ave. S., under the management of Mrs. Wm. Moore, is more popular than ever. Miss Edith Moore, 2853 Aldrich Ave, left on last Saturday in company with Mrs. W. T. Francis of St. Paul, to attend the inaugural festivities at Washington, D. C. Conditions at the Porters' and Waiters' Club, 311 Hennepin Ave., consequent upon the recent fire in the building, remain as they were, but workmen are getting order out of chaos as rapidly as possible. Only the culinary department is affected. Oh, yes, they had some crowd and more fun, at the Cake Walk Ball given jointly by the White Feather Club and the Twin City Entertainers at South Side Auditorium last Monday evening. Of course, Moore's TenPiece Jazz Band furnished delightful music. The next pleasure stunt will be the grand "Spring Promenade" to be given by the Railroad Men's Association at South Side Auditorium, on next Monday evening, March 7. Don't miss it or you'll regret it! Ask Alex Irwin about it, he knows as he will have charge of it. Mr. Wm. Moore has taken the management of Stewart's Cafe, 246 4th Ave. S. Meals will be served at all hours. Business Men's Noonday Lunch and Regular Dinner Meals. Moore's Jazz Band will be featured and special entertaining on Thursday and Sunday nights. Best service always. Mrs. Mary Holbert has just completed the purchase of an elegant, all modern, 11-room house, 122 Highland Ave. No., and will be prepared by the 15th of March to accommodate a limited number of gentlemen roomers. The furnishings and appointments will be the most complete and up to date of any place of the kind in the Twin Cities. Everything will be under the personal supervision of "Mother," and that is sufficient guarantee that everything will be right. A few choice rooms are still available. The house is centrally located in the north town section and convenient to all car lines. For further information apply to Mrs. Mary Holbert, 250 Plymouth Ave. N. Phone Atlantic 0049. The second ball of the Oriental Fun Series of Arab Patrol, of Fezzan Temple No. 26, that was given at South Side Auditorium Wednesday evening, was quite largely attended and highly enjoyed, especially the music furnished by Moore's Ten-piece Jazz Band. Some fun features given by members of the Patrol were quite pleasing. Much interest was evinced in guessing the contents of a barrel. Miss May Peek of St. Paul was the lucky guesser and was awarded the beautiful rug, which the barrel contained, as a prize. Wait and watch for the next entertainment that will be given by the public pleasure purveyors at Union Hall, St. Paul, on Easter Monday, March 28th, when another guessing contest for the prize the barrel contains will be one of the features. SOMETHING WORTH WHILE. On last Saturday evening, Feb. 26, a group of the women of Minneapolis met at the residence of Mrs. R. A. Van Hook, 3612 Elliot Ave., and organized a "Business Women's Club" and elected officers as follows: President, Miss L. O. Smith, our most efficient real estate dealer; vice president, Mrs. R. A. Van Hook, one of our leading modistes; secretary, Mrs. D. P. Steel, secretary to Mrs. Robins of the W. C. A.; assistant secretary, Miss Mildred Plummer, stenographer and bookkeeper; treasurer, Madame Clemantine Robinson, masseuse. This bids fair to be one of the strongest organizations in Minneapolis.
