The Appeal

THE EMPORIUM QUALITY CANDIES - SAIN PAUL VOL. 39 NO. 4 Elbow Men in Scramble for Locations in Oatman District in Arizona. BLOOM NOT OFF FIRST RUSH Soldiers of Fortune, Young and Old, Flock From All Sections of the World—Old Mine Resumes in Search for Wealth. Phoenix, Ariz.—Soldiers of fortune—young and old, both men and women—are still flocking to Oatman, in Mohave county, to prospect for gold, and many of them are finding it. The Oatman gold fields are the most active on the North American continent and the bloom is not yet off the first rush. Weather-beaten adventurers who got the word while digging away in faraway parts of the world like Africa are arriving with all the enthusiasm of their first hunt. The old Goldroad mine at Oatman has resumed, and to those who know about gold mining that news carries significance. It means a permanent camp in all likelihood and development skim to that of the gold fields of Nevada. The United Eastern Mining company is cutting a drill station on the tenth level (1,300 feet) and at the breast of the 1,000-foot crosscut into the hanging wall. The drill will be pushed down an angle 2,000 feet, it being intended to cut the known big vein at a depth of 2,600 or 2,700 feet below the apex. That is one of the biggest operations going on at Oatman, one that may mean millions. Work on Big Scale. The Lucky Boy Mining and Milling company has started another hole on its property which is expected to strike a vein at 600 feet. The Lucky Boy is financed in New York and its campaign is on a big scale. The Bonanza Place company has run across a silver ledge paying $50 to the ton and work has been begun to take out the profit. The Frisco mine is pushing its drilling, with pay in hand and more in sight. Other companies, big and little, are scratching and gnawing at the earth in all directions. Not far from Oatman work is going forward evenly at Mineral Park in the turquoise mines, among the largest in America, owned by the Tiffanys of New York, which first led adventurers up into the region from Mexico as far back as 1530. It is history that at that date several hundred Spaniards and 14,000 Indians left Mexico City to find the precious treasures of the Seven Cities of Cibola, in the present state of Arizona, and that from 1530 to 1539 Cortez sent four expeditions up from Mexico, one of which he headed himself. Friar Marco de Niza it was who brought back to the Spaniards the wondrous tales of the Cibola villages where "they use vessels of gold and silver, for they have no other metal." But the present prospectors at Oatman are all of the sort of folk who never look back. They live romance instead of reading it; their lives are filled with the adventure of pioneering, unchanged from the days of Cortez except for modern settings. There's still danger enough to make it attractive, what with dynamite and moonshine whisky and the age-old impulses that follow in the train of sudden wealth. Named After Early Settier. Oatman was named after Royce Oatman, a settler, who came with his family from Missouri in 1851 and located at Oatman Flat. The parents were killed by Indians and two daughters, Mary Ann and Olive, seven and sixteen years old, were carried off as slaves. Mary died after having been traded to several tribes, but Olive survived and was recovered by American troops five years later. She was sent East to be educated and returned to Arizona, where she lived to a ripe old age and was a leader in social affairs. However, she always wore a vell in public, for the Indians had tattooed their tribal insignia on her chin and lower jaw. Gold was discovered in Oatman by United States soldiers in 1865. Johnny Moss made the first big strike. The gold hunters of California heard of it, and soon George Hearst, father of William Randolph Hearst; Levi Parsons, Joe Clark and other notable figures came over and started a prospecting syndicate. Many a fortune was taken out of the earth in the years that followed. But the real Oatman boom began with the finding of a fabulously rich ledge by the United Eastern in 1914, which shows no signs of ending. FOGS RAISE LONDON DEATHS Responsible Also for Greatly Increased Expenditures for Lighting—Bronchitis Leads. London.—The recent fogs which have prevailed in and around London are responsible not only for a greatly increased expenditure for lighting, but have caused more than the usual amount of skiness and suffering to the population. This is set forth by medical experts, who quoted statistics to show that for one week the death rate in London was 14.3 per 1,000, against a death rate for the whole of England and Wales of 12.8 per 1,000. Deaths from bronchitis and bronchopneumonia rose to 238 from the previous week's figures of 182. HOT ON MOON AT NOON Temperature Drops Below Zero at Night, Says Professor. Heat Measurement Involves Use of Delicate Instrument Which Will Detect Heat of Candle Miles Away. Cambridge, Mass.—The temperature on the moon probably ranges from well above the boiling point at "moon" to far below zero during the night, scientific observations indicate, Prof. Donald H. Menzel of Princeton said in a paper submitted to the American Astronomical society. The paper outlined new methods of calculating the temperatures of the planets, emphasizing that the tentative results reached by these methods were not final. "Whatever the amount of water vapor present in our atmosphere," he said, "the indications are that the surface of the moon is definitely heated. "The values for Venus and Mars are very dependent upon the water vapor and very little can be got from the observations. Both planets have an atmosphere, Mars' being very thin, and that of Venus more like ours. The results indicate the temperature at the quarter of Mars during the day may be as high as 20 or 25 degrees centigrade, with a large fall during the night. Venus' temperature is higher than our earth's. "For the two larger planets, Jupiter and Saturn, they radiate some heat of their own. If they were warmed only by the heat of the sun they would be 160 to 190 degrees below zero centigrade. "The temperatures obtained for these planets are probably fairly accurate and we have for Jupiter obtained something less than 90 below zero centigrade, while Saturn is hotter by some 20 degrees." The heat measurements as made at the Lowell observatory in Arizona, involve the use of a delicate instrument known as the thermocouple, which is capable of detecting the heat from a fallow candle at a distance of many miles. SMALLEST TUBE RADIO SET --- Presented with the smallest tube radio receiving outfit by his associates at the federal board for vocational training of war veterans in Washington, R. Edwin Joyce is shown listening to a concert that was broadcast from St. Louis. Joyce was in the hospital at Washington, where a leg was recently amputated. The miniature tube set is the invention of Barney J. Foy, who is in charge of the electrical training course at the Washington bureau for war veterans. Tests made prove the small set to have the receiving scope of the largest audience units. The complete set may be carried easily in the palm of the hand. HE-BELIEVES IN RECIPROCITY A Negro Tella Judge Buckner "Same to You" When Offered Advice. Kansas City, Mo.—It happened at the session of the Jackson county parole board. Sixty-five men on parole from sentences in the county jail or the penitentiary were being questioned by the Circuit court judges as to whether the various provisions of the paroles were being obeyed. Jesse Harris, a negro, was one of those questioned. Jesse declared he was working now and keeping out of trouble. As the negro started to leave the courtroom Judge Thomas B. Buckner, a member of the parole board, admonished: "You be a good boy, Jesse." "You do the same, judge," returned the negro. Pittsfield, Mass.—A deposit of 2,800 pennies and 634 nickels, making a total of $59,70 was deposited in the Great Barrington Savings bank in that town by a woman residing in New Marlboro. The coins weighed 18 pounds and were the accumulation of nine years' savings. This is the first time in the history of the bank that a deposit of this size in small coins has been received. THE APPEAL. CANNIBALS HERE 4,000 YEARS AGO Scientist Finds Portions of Human Skulls in Mounds Near Omaha. RESEARCHES ARE IMPORTANT Declares Peace-Loving Race Inhabited the Mid-West Section of America Prior to Time of Indians. Omaha, Neb.—In an effort to obtain evidence to support his belief that Nebraska was inhabited 4,000 years ago by cannibalistic cave men, Dr. Robert F. Glider, doctor of science, known throughout the West for his desert landscape canvases, has begun excavating a short distance south of Omaha. Permission was granted him after a dozen years of effort to induce owners of the land to permit the excavations. The site of the excavations is marked by several eroded mounds which the scientist believes were community houses of the Omaha or Pawnee Indians. It is his theory that these mounds were built upon the foundations of the houses of the earlier tribe, possibly ancestors of the Mid-West Indians. In support of this belief, he has discovered that the upper structure—declared by him to have been built with mud and stone sides covered with thatch—had an entrance on the south, whereas the lower excavations clearly show entrances from the east. Finda Bones of Men. Using the Darwinian accumulation theory—one inch of earth to each century—Doctor Glider calculates that he has reached the 4,000-years-ago surface level and there he has discovered portions of human skulls, arm and foot bones. His discoveries include ashes, declared by him to be roasted human bones. From this he evolves the theory that the early inhabitants were cannibals. Some thirty or forty implements of bone and wood he has found are almost identical with creations unearthed by European archeologists, who have ascribed their area as preceding the historic. Peace-Loving Race, He Says "We have established the fact," declares the doctor, "that there lived in this portion of the North American continent a peace-loving race prior to the time of the Indians, as we commonly apply the term. I deduce this from the fact that the houses were large enough to accommodate from ten to twelve families and that the dwellings are separated by considerable territory. If the race had been warlike, the individuals would have felt a common desire for close association and would have built houses in groups for mutual protection." RADIUM IN NEW HAMPSHIRE Edward Caron, a French-Canadian miner from Montana, has discovered radium in a mountain at Berlin, N. H. He has prospected with such success on a lot of woodland he purchased recently as to attract the attention of the United States bureau of mines. Engineers will investigate to determine the extent of the radium deposit. Caron is shown here with samples of the minerals he found on his property. In his left hand he holds a specimen of uranium, which contains radium. In his right hand is a specimen of beryl. Wolves Menace Farmers Warsaw, Ind—Terrorized by the appearance of a flock of wolves driven from a swamp near here by fire one morning recently, farmers kept their children indoors while others, with rifles and shotguns, accompanied their youngsters to school. Drivers of school hacks also were armed. While Roy Tople went to a field at the edge of the swamp to dig potatoes a large hound accompanying him was killed by six wolves. Cattle, sheep and hogs recently have been attacked by wolves. Families were organizing for a wolf hunt in whit' several hundred persons will participate. Tenants Get Landlord's Estate. Los Angeles—Tenants of George Leow, who died recently, learned they were his heirs. His estate, valued at $25,000, consists of five houses, which were devised to the families occupying them. He was survived by no known W. H. Hendrick, whose home is anywhere he may be, arrived in Washington, after a hike around the world. He was a year and a half on his trip, working his way as a miner, sailor and in various other capacities. TO RESTORE WAR INSURANCE Veterans Who Permitted Term Insurance to Lapse Can Easily Get It Reinstated. Washington—It will be news to many World war veterans to learn that the United States veterans' bureau has inaugurated a reinstatement campaign for the benefit of those who, either through misunderstanding or inability to meet premium payments, have permitted their term (war time) insurance to lapse. Director Forbes announces that no matter how long a time has passed since the last premium was paid, an ex-service man may easily renew his term (war time) insurance contract if he is in good health, or if he is disabled, provided the disability from which he is suffering is due to service and is not of a total and permanent nature. Veterans will be particularly interested in learning that they may reinstate $1,000 or any higher amount, in multiples of $500, of the amount of insurance they carried white in the service. It will also be of interest to the public to know that over 500,000 of the men who applied for insurance during the war have continued their policies in force and that these ex-service men and women are carrying insurance protection amounting to the enormous sum of over $3,000,000,000. The reinstatement requirements have been made most liberal; in fact, if an ex-soldier is in good health it is only necessary for him to furnish medical proof of that fact, and pay two monthly premiums on the amount of term insurance to be reinstated. Physicians have been appointed in all of the branch offices of the bureau where ex-service men can secure the necessary medical examination without cost. Detailed information may be obtained by writing to the United States Veterans' Bureau, Washington, D. C., but in the interest of accurate identification and promptness, the person writing should be sure to give his full name, rank and organization when in the service and, if possible, his serial number. REFUSE TO LOOT SUPPLIES Ruslan Bandita, 1,700 Strong, Never Attempt to interfere With American Relief Work. Samara.—One of the largest bandit gangs in Russia —1700 strong—which neither the red army nor famine has as yet stamped out, continues to operate in the Pugachoff district, but in no way have the robbers ever attempted to interfere with American relief workers. It has been estimated that about 1,200 of the men have horses. The band is made up chiefly of army deserters who operate in units of fifteen to twenty men. According to relief workers, the bandits always make it a point to avoid anything belonging to the American Relief Administration. In Balakova the government warehouse was robbed while the American Relief Administration storage house, next door, bulging with cocoa, sugar, canned milk and other good things to eat, was not even touched. As an illustration of further consideration by the bandits of the famine sufferers, it is related that some of the gang last summer rode up to one of the American Relief Administration village kitchens, merely tasted the food being prepared for the children; pronounced it very good, chucked a few youngsters under the chins, wishing them good appetites, and then went their way—to the home of the village treasurer, which they looted. Glasgow Stum District Passes. Glasgow—The famous river tenement district of Glasgow, which has long had the reputation of being the most equalid in the world, is to be entirely wiped out. As the buildings were in danger of collapse, the city authorities ordered the tenants to vacate, and have approved plans to have the houses torn down. Municipally owned houses are being erected in the suburbs to care for the hundreds of homeless of the poorer classes. NEW YORK PIER PIRATES DARING Waterfront Freebooters Are Proficient at Looting Cargoes of Vessels. TAKE BIG FORTUNE IN GOODS Modern Thieves, With Value of Loot Mounting to Fifty Millions a Year, Make Captain Kidd Look Like Mere Piker. New York.—None of the thousands who live quietly in the cramped apartments and narrow houses of New York city have any first hand knowledge of robbery, beyond enforced association with rent thieves, coal highwaymen, and mercantile crooks. They will, therefore, be surprised to discover that the populous waters about the city yield more than $50,000,000 every year to the modern pirates and sea rovers. All the buccaneers of antiquity, whose names and deeds are written fast into the texture of memory, never approached such capitalistic magnitude. Government Wages Campaign. The modern thieves steal more each month than Captain Kidd is said to have accumulated out of all his flagrances. In the last few years the federal government has waged a campaign against these thieves, aided by the railroads which deliver goods to tidewater, the owners of ocean-going ships and harbor craft, the companies operating plers and docks and, particularly, by the great marine insurance companies. A number of gangs of river and harbor pirates have been broken up and a trickle of the robbers has run into the prisons, but the losses are as great as ever and promise to increase. Probably three-fourths of the stealing near New York city is aimed against exports. The merchandise is consigned to Europe, to Asia, to Africa, to the furthest isles in the southern seas, and the outermost ports and lands. It may be months in transit. If part of a consignment is stolen who is to discover the crime until the bales and cases arrive at their far-off destination and are examined by receivers? Pier Officiala Go Crooked. Per Officials Grew Crooked. One of the typical ways of accomplishing such robberies is made clear by the case of a silk goods exporter of Fourth avenue, New York city. Five heavy cases of merchandise, valued at close to $40,000, were sent to a pier to be loaded for South America. The cases got into the hands of a truckman who was working with the harbor thieves. He took the cases to the pier, got a signed bill of lading from the shipping company, turned his truck about and drove off the pier again without ever unloading. The trick was accomplished, of course, by means of collusion. One of the officials of the pier was working with the thieves and he had supplied the truckman in advance with a pass, which the guard at the land end of the pier was bound to recognize. A boy in a suit and hat stands next to a chair. The smallest midget and the smallest Shriner in the world, known as Major Mite, caused more excitement when he called at the White House recently than many a notable has done. He declared he'd like to be a cameraman but found that he was little taller than one of the average size cameras, being only 28 inches in height and weighing only 22 pounds. Major Mite is eighteen years old. Lake Low; Blame Beavers. Middletown, N. Y.—Shortage of water in Electric lake, near Branchville, N. J., which has caused much inconvenience to the borough lighting plant has been traced to the operation of beavers. The animals have diverted a considerable amount of water from its natural channel by constructing dams. Asks Plane Keep Away From Church. Santa Monica, Cal.—An appeal to city authorities to prohibit airplanes from soaring over his church during services has been made by Rev. W. H. Cornett, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. He says the splatter of the engines throws the hymns sung by his choir endly out of harmony. HENS HELP PASTOH He Adds Considerably to Salary by Selling Eggs. Organizes Poultry Club Among Members of His Congregation and Teaches Members Scientific Care of Birds. Hartford, Conn.—The story of the Long Island pastor who discovered his flock of chickens had a language all their own may be interesting from a linguistic standpoint, but if there is any truth in the old adage that "money talks" the flock owned by Rev. E. L. Richards of Canton Center has "said a mouthful." Out of a flock of 100 pullets and hens Rev. Mr. Richards makes a net profit of $3 a day over and above the cost of their upkeep. And not only does he add considerably to his own small salary as pastor of a small country church, but he has succeeded in bringing a greater degree of prosperity to his spiritual flock through his knowledge of his feathered one. "When I took the pastorate of the Canton Centre Congregational church a few years ago," said Rev. Mr. Richards, "I was-confronted with two serious problems. "Like all rural pastors I faced the problem of bringing up a family on the small salaries paid by country churches and the constant migration of young men on the farms to the cities. To eke out my salary, I decided to go into the chicken business in a small way. I studied the methods used at Storrs Agricultural college and carried them out to the letter with amazing results. "I then organized among my congregation the Canton Centre Poultry club and taught the members the scientific care of birds. I organized them into a co-operative producing and selling combine, with the result that it has brought a much greater degree of prosperity to us all. "During the last year I, as manager of the club, sold more than $8,000 worth of eggs alone from the coops of the few members of the club. Every egg sold was candled and pronounced perfect. Many were thrown away—those that showed any sign of blood streaks seen in so many eggs. At present we are getting 80 cents a dozen wholesale for our largest eggs. We have found that by lighting the coops with electricity for a few hours each night the egg production is increased 20 per cent. BLIND MAN STUDIES STARS Takes Course in Astronomy in Michigan University to Qualify for Degree. Ann Arbor, Mich.—Blind from birth, with his conception of the heavens formed by descriptions from others, Joseph Caldwell of Indiana, Pa., is studying astronomy at the University of Michigan in order that he may meet the scientific requirements to permit him to be graduated from the college of literature, science and arts. Mr. Caldwell, a sophomore and forty-six years old, is doubly handicapped. In addition to his blindness, he lacks the mechanical aids for the study of astronomy that often are afforded students who take up other studies. Blind students of astronomy are so rare that there are no textbooks with raised type. Therefore, he depends upon fellow-students to read his lessons to him. So proficient has he become, his professors say, that he frequently memorizes a lesson by hearing it read only a few times. In addition to astronomy, Mr. Caldwell is studying psychology, German, French and Italian. He ranks as one of the best students in his classes. RUSS GENERAL IN STEERAGE Ivanoff, Army Chief Under Czar, Escapes Bolsheviks and Arrives at Seattle. Seattle, Wash.—With an English-Russian dictionary in his hand, Gen. Alexander Ivanoff, who in 1917 commanded the armies of the czar in Russia on the eve of the revolution, was here as a steerage passenger. He announced his intention of staying in Seattle, learning English, and getting a job. General Ivanoff, apparently of middle age, said he had little money, but was not discouraged. He said his wife, in Shanghai, would come to Seattle soon. After the fall of the imperial government, General Ivanoff became a fugitive, hounded by Bolshevik agents, but managed to reach Harbin, whence he easily made his way to Japan. Milk Searge in Berlin. Berlin—On account of the scarcity and high price of milk extraordinary measures have been taken for alding the poor in various communities. The Gardelegen creameries agreed to contribute one mark toward a fund in behalf of babies and invalids for every liter of milk handled. Beggar, Refused Hand-Out, Drives Off in His Auto New London, Conn.—A woman living on Quaker lane, West Hartford, answered the back door bell and found a man who desired a "hand-out" of food, clothing or money. None was forthcoming, so the beggar walked away, got into his automobile and drove off. $2.40 PER YEAR RAGGED GENIUS GIVES CONCERT Wizard of Fiano Entertains Police Station Inmates With Jazz and Classic Stuff. LIFE STORY ONE OF TRAGEDY Unkempt Prodigy of "Hoboe's College" Retains His Love of Muscle Through Vicissitudes That Pursue Shambling Life. Philladelphia—Music critics have ignored the concert given at the piano of the police station the other evening by Harry Tannhein of Pittsburgh and points West, more recently musical director of the Hoboe's college and pianist extraordinary. Tannhein, cleverly disguised as a hobo—and one in all reality—gave the police several hours of uninterrupted ragtime and then tore off a lot of classical numbers that left the verest patrolman feeling like an ambassador. He glided through a little Liszt, gave some Chopin dirges and then threw the whole outfit into raptures with a masterful interpretation of Rachmannoff. It was an impromptu affair entirely. The artist arrived at the little bare room opposite the cell tier shortly before seven o'clock, conveyed by Mulhooland of the "motorcycles." His escort had lured him from the concrete campus of Hoboe's college. For four hours he played his repertoire of melodies, jazz and classic. The station house did its usual nightly business of the district. Drunks were brought in—many of them. Vagrants were lodged. The police surgeon made his round. And all a glance into the music room disclosed to any of them was the sight of a little ragged figure, cap tossed aside, battered shoes, dirty sweater and unforgivable linen, sounding chords in a reverry. Two revolver shots sounded, just around the corner. Someone receiving wrong change in a nearby cigar store had said it with gunfire. The music never stopped. It even grew stronger. Tella Life Story. Lleutenant Cocoran finally poked his head into the music room and ordered a halt. Then they got him talking. By now a metamorphosis had taken place. The "bum" had given way to the musician and Tannehill discoursed of music and his eventful past as if he were drinking wine with intimates on a terrace in fair Capril. He was forty-six, he said. Had taken up music at fourteen, studied the piano for eight years, three in the conservatory at Mount Unlon, O., and then for a time had gone on the concert stage. After that he tried teaching. "Eight years ago," Tannehill said, "my wife deserted me and she took with her our three-year-old daughter. She may be alive today, she may be dead. I don't know and I haven't been able to find out. My little girl was my world; when she went, ambition followed." The pianist came to Philadelphia nearly three years ago, but other than a few movie-palace performances he has been without work. He tried carpentry for a while, and other work more arduous, but was not equal to it. "You know the rules of the Hoboes' college, don't you?" asked the bluff Mulholland of his protege. "If you get work, you're automatically expelled. You'll have to leave the institution." A "Curtain Call." "I don't care," answered the maestro. "Give me a few decent looking togs and several good meals in succession and I'll defy any of them to tell the bum from the musician. Just once more, before I die, I'd like to get loose in the vicinity of a grand plano." A taste for music, like the love of a horse or a dog, is a saving grace; the last characteristic to go in the drop to degeneration; the first thing to build upon in the climb to rehabilitation. The police made up a purse for their visitor and asked him to play one more before he left. "I give you a little 'William Tell,'" he announced. And under the manipulation of the nimble fingers of a master, the old piano awoke to a life it had never known. The master arose and bowed. Then, slowly, he passed out of the room. Offers to Restore Sight by Grafting Pig's Eyes in Man Paterson, N. J.—Blinded nine years ago by a fireworks explosion in Lyndhurst, N. J., Alfred Lemonowicz may be able to see again, if the proposal of Dr. Edward Morgan, local eye specialist, is accepted and accomplished. Doctor Morgan plans to transplant the eye of a pig to one of Lemonowicz's sightless sockets, and claims the operation has a good chance of success. Details of the proposed operation were made known in a court action in which Lemonowicz seeks $100,000 damages from Lyndhurst because of his injury. THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J.

TERMS, STRICTLY IN ADVANCE: SINGLE COPY, One Year.....$2.40 SINGLE COPY, Six Months.....1.28 SINGLE COPY, Three Months......68 SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923. ALABAMA Clement Wood, a native of Alabama, has drawn as honest and fearless a picture of that state and of racial mixture within its bounds as has come out of the South in many decades. The majority of his article which appeared in a recent number of the Nation is valuable not because it is new and startling opinion, but because it is an open statement of the things that, heretofore, few white men (and especially Southern bree white men) have dared declare. The colored man has known of these things all along, that is why in the face of his knowledge of the intimate affairs of the white men and women of the Southland, he listens to their rantings about racial purity and the utter impossibility of amalgamation with an ironic smile—often a snicker. Some white students of the problem have known of them, but they have been necessarily reticent about expressing themselves. It is interesting to note that the material in a lecture course on the American "Negro" at one of the largest Northern universities coincides almost exactly with the statements of Mr. Wood. It is significant, too, that the professor of this course is careful to express his opinion only to a selected group of advanced students, who are presumably, prepared for shock of truth. While the sketch of the sex life of the state is interesting and revealing reading, his discussion of the effects of Alabama's discriminatory policies is by far the most valuable part of the article. He says in part: "The Negro question permeates every phase of Southern thinking. It wakes with the Southern white man, walks with them, keeps him from sleeping. It drugs Alabama's educational system. It determines her economic thinking. . . . Two-fifths of the population are stigmatized as inferior and kept illiterate. . . . The cost Alabama is paying; and it is not a small thing. What is the state's—or the South's—contribution to the absorbing world of science, that handmaiden of man in his progress from beasthood? Where are the state's and the South's—contributions to music, to drama, to sculpture, to painting, to literature? . . . Alabama leads the states in the alphabet; and it is time she woke from her lotus doze and accepted man's responsibilities out of which grow man's achievements. . . . That land does not prosper the half of whose citizens are kept from wisdom, and in economic, mental and spiritual poverty. That land cannot speak her word, nor sing her song when half of her tongue strives against the other half, when half is bound and half is free." Here is sound opinion. The South, stifled and mired by color nausea and race hatred will not seek the high clean air of tolerance, knowledge and progress. She will have none of upward movements lest the black move upward, too. No man's achievement can come out of the South until it loses itself from its childish petulance over the magnified color question. HENRY AND US The recent announcement that Henry Ford would build a $10,000,000 plant in this city brought out conflicting opinions in the colored population of the two cities on the labor policy of the Detroit manufacturer with reference to employment of colored workmen. We can speak for Mr. Ford no better word than he has spoken for himself on this subject. In a signed statement in the Dearborn Independent he says, in part: "The 'Negro' is a human being, capable of integrity, loyalty, and domestic peace and prosperity, and as a human being, he is entitled to opportunities to develop and exhibit those qualities and to enjoy his natural human rights. Where the 'Negro' has been given opportunity he has proved a community asset, his labor and his contribution to the development of the country are capable of being increased. The 'Negro' should be given a chance, and should be regarded with full humanity and treated with entire justice. . . The 'Negro' question is largely one of unemployment. . . The 'Negro' needs a job, he needs a sense of industrially 'belonging' and this ought to be the desire of our industrial engineers to supply." In the face of this pronouncement it is hard to believe that colored workers will not be given equal chance with others in the new Northwest plant at the High Dam. THE QUALITIES OF SURVIVAL Dr. A. E. Jenks, head of the department of anthropology at the university, in his recent talk before the Lions club, cited the fast depleting ranks of the American Indian as proof that the time of primitive man is past. "The Indian," said he, "is going, because he failed to keep pace with the modern man, and has shown no interest in the progress of civilization." The difference in the survival qualities of the Indian and the colored man is important for Americans to note. Both, when they first came into contact with the white man, were in a semi-civilized state, and the Indian appeared to display the superior qualities. The Indians were a warlike and courageous people, little given to hard work, but with innate dignity and reserve that commanded respect. For this very reason, perhaps, they did not succeed in adapting themselves to civilization. Unlike the Indian, the colored man endured slavery in order to survive. But in stooping, he upraised himself. By bending, he mounted to better things. Under the impact of civilization he took on the habit of continuous hard work and survived and multiplied, while the Indians have diminished. The contrast is one of adaptability plus hard work, and it is not without importance to the white race. Despite all legislative protections, the white race can hardly hope to survive without hard work, as against the yellow or the brown man, who is willing to work and adapt himself to conditions. Twenty years ago Theodore Roosevelt glimpsed the secret of survival well in the following admonition: "I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of labor and struggle. The highest form of success comes not to the man who desires easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from hardships and from bitter toil and who out of these things wins a splendid and ultimate success." This advice is worth pondering, in the light of the divergent fates of the red and black races. It is especially timely when temptations of ease, prosperity and extravagance tend to entice the white race into a soft way of life, and to weaken in it the stern qualities of survival.—Minneapolis Journal. FROM MR. BROTCHNER "I never use the word which your correspondent says she overheard. I have no desire to cast reflection on the colored race. During my stay in St. Paul I have formed too many good friends among the colored people. Casting all business reasons aside, I could not, for the sake of those friendships, say anything to offend my colored neighbors." This is Mr. Brochter's answer to the editorials which appeared in THE APPEAL and other colored papers two weeks ago. It was natural to expect the colored press to protest vigorously against President Lowell's action in barring a colored student from the freshman halls at Harvard College but the opposition of the white press and white writers, while not wholly unexpected, is most gratifying in its fervor. The Independent says that if a faculty discriminates at all between students it should do so on the basis of scholarship alone and adds "President Lowell's letter struck a most discordant note." The New Republic strikes an ironic vein in its comment: "A black freshman . . . is not permitted to live in the freshman halls. No common Harvard consciousness for him. It is no part of the business of Harvard to set its students a good example of by giving Negroes the same kind of social advantages which it gives to other races. In this matter it has ceased to be an educational institution." The Nation says of the action: "Such policies are pitifully second rate. We cannot believe that Harvard graduates will be deaf to the appeal of their greatest president. An unprejudiced man of letters reading the correspondence between President Lowell and Roscoe Bruce . . . might well conclude, judging by the literary style and breadth of spirit, that the colored man would make the better president." Comment expressed less formally, but nevertheless with biting sincerity is contained in H. I. Phillips' humorous column. The Once Over: "I see Harvard is classifying students by the color chart system," remarked Senator O. Howe Dumm. "No student can get full privileges there unless he is the right shade." "Heretofore Harvard has allowed students to room on the campus whether they were dark or light, but she has now drawn the color line. This places her on a par with Jack Dempsey. Only pink and white students are to be allowed in the freshman dormitories from now on." THE NEW APPEAL TIME brings changes and new ideas, new needs to be filled. FOR nearly forty years THE APPEAL has been in the vanguard of progress in this community, ever motivated by the belief that service to the people is above every other consideration. NOW the paper is in a state of transition. It is broadening its vision, taking on new life, becoming in truth a new APPEAL. COME in and tell the new APPEAL how it can serve you better. AMERICANS OF COLOR WANT NO GARVEY PROGRAM DuBois, in Magazine Article Says "Back to Africa" Move Is Repudiated. MILLION DOLLARS LOST Holds Rejection of Movement Is Tribute to Common Sense of Colored Man. New York, Jan. 26.—The bubble of Garveyism is burst in the United States, according to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of "The Crisis," who writes in the February Century Magazine on the "Back to Africa" movement of Marcus Garvey. Colored Americans have not joined the Garvey movement in large numbers, asserts Dr. DuBois, and the Garvey movement represents a West Indian rather than a colored American attempt to deal with the race problem. The Garvey ventures have cost his life chiefly from a British Island island, Jamaica, to $1,000,000 estimates Dr. DuBois of which about $800,000 was lost in the failure of the Black Star Line of steamships Of the attitude of colored Americans toward the Garvey movement, as of the Booker T. Washington program relinquishing political action, Dr. DuBois writes: "It is no ordinary tribute to colored American poise and common sense and ability to choose and reject leadership, that neither of these programs have been able to hold them. THE TIME new n FOR new has been in this con belief that every other NOW sition taking on new APP COME how i One of the most singular proofs of this is that the latest support of Garveyism is from the notorious Ku Klux Klan. When Garvey saw his Black Star Line disappear, his West Indian membership fall off, and his American listeners grow increasingly critical, he flew South to consult the Grand Cyclops of the Invisible Empire. Whether the initiative came from him or from the Klan is not known, but probably the Klan invited him. They were indeed birds of a feather, believing in titles, fummery, and mumbo-jumbo, and handling much gullible money." Declaring that the Garvey type of agitation is the counterblast to the "white supremacy" propaganda enunciated by Lothrop Stoddard, Dr. Du Bois warns that in both lie the seeds of hate and of war: "Here is Garvey yelling to life from the black side, a race consciousness which leaps to meet Madison Grant and Lothrop Stoddard and other worshipers of the great white race. It is symptomatic and portentous. If with a greater and more gifted and efficient Garvey it sometimes blazes to real flame, it means world war and eternal hate and blood. It means the setting of the world clock back a thousand years. And yet the world's Garveys are not solely to blame, but rather every worshiper of race superiority and human inequality. On the other hand, back of all this lurks the quieter, more successful, more insistent, and hopeful fact. Races are living together. They are buying and selling, marrying and rearing children, laughing and crying. They are fighting mobs and lynchers and those that enslave and despise, and they have not yet failed in that fight. Their faith in their ultimate and complete triumph are these homes, this business block, this church, duplicated a hundred thousand times in a nation of twelve million. Here, then, are the two future paths, outlined with a certain sullen dimness in the world's blood-crimson twilight, and yet to be described easily by those with the seeing hearts. Which path will America choose?" HARVARD BOARD TO ACT ON COLOR BAR HARVARD BOARD TO ACT ON COLOR BAR Boston, Jan. 25 (Crusader Service). President Lowell of Harvard has been asked by a member of the Board of Overseers of the university to call a special meeting of the board to discuss the president's action in ruling that colored students may not be admitted to the freshman dormitory. It could not be learned that President Lowell had taken any step to call such a meeting. Should he not do so, it is understood the matter will be taken up by the board at its next stated meeting, late in February. Special meetings are rarely called, it is said, and only on matters of extreme importance. That a request has been made of the president for such a meeting, is believed to indicate there is strong feeling, in the board it should have been consulted before action was taken on the case of the son of Roscoe Conkling Bruce himself a graduate of Harvard, and the policy of the university on the question of exclusion of colored men from certain parts of university life thereby apparently announced. The first notice the "Harvard Crimson" has taken of agitation made by the announcement that colored students were unwelcome in the Harvard freshman dormitory came yesterday as the announcement of Rescue Conkleing Bruce's letter and President Lowell's reply as printed in the newspapers. Part of the editorial follows: "In dormitories where residence is voluntary, any student is admitted, but in the case of the freshman dormitories, where all white members of the class are obliged to reside, the admission of colored men is not permitted, but compelling the two race groups together. Such a compulsion, he believes, could only 'increase a prejudice that is most unfortunate.'" brings changes and it needs to be filled. early forty years THEY been in the vanguard of community, ever motivating service to the people under consideration. the paper is in a state of ennumeration.

Garvey Starts Defence Fund For Eason Slayers New York, Jan. 26 (Crusader Service)—A defense fund has been launched by Marcus Garvey in his newspaper, the Negro World, for the two members of his New Orleans branch now under arrest charged with killing Dr. J. W. H. Eason, Garvey opponent and one of the principal witnesses to have been called against Marcus Garvey in the federal case charging him with using the United States mails to deceive and defraud. So far two hundred dollars has been subscribed to the fund, according to the current issue of the Negro World, which carries an article calling to the current issue of the Negro this fund. RACE CLASH FEARED AT BLANFORD, IND. Blanford, Ind., Jan. 26.—Colored people began leaving this mining town early this afternoon, following the warning issued by white residents to be out of the town by 7 o'clock tonight if they were unable to produce the unknown colored man who assaulted the eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dales, last Thursday night. Other colored men have declined to trek, and have barricaded their houses for defense in case of attack. KANSAS BEGINS OUSTER SUIT AGAINST KLAN Topeka, Kan., Jan. 26 (Crusader Service).—The Kansas supreme court today overruled the motion to quash summons served on alleged officers and members of th Knu Klux Klan in this state, citing them to appear in the state's outer suit against the Klap. WHITES BLOCK REBUILDING OF COLORED HOMES Citizens Would Condemn District Recently Destroyed by Disastrous Fire. MOVE FOR PARK NELD BLUFF New Bern, N. C., Colored People Face Loss of Homes and Property. New York, Jan. 26.—Colored residents of the city of New Bern, N. C., whose homes were burned in the recent disastrous fire, are fighting an attempt by white citizens to prevent their rebuilding their homes through condemnation proceedings which would turn the colored section into a cemetery and party according to announcement today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Reports from New Bern state that the colored residents have not been permitted to rebuild their homes. A statement sent to the Advancement Association by a competent investigator asserts: Hits Property Owners. "The city of New Bern is determined the burnt area shall not be rebuilt by or for colored people. It is proposed to condemn the land, ostensibly for cemetery and park purposes, but this is openly winked at as a subterfuge to get rid of the colored property owner. In the meanwhile no building is permitted in the burnd district and no provision is being APPEAL new ideas, APPEAL of progress ated by the le is above te of tran- its vision, in truth a APPEAL er. made for a suitable location elsewhere. You can see the hardship this works on the lot owners; in many cases all they have is tied up in this real estate, which will be a long time in litigation in the condemnation proceedings." The report further states that the colored districts that were not in the fire area are neglected and have no improvements whatever in the way of paving, lighting, sewerage, water supply and street car service. These districts, it is asserted, into which the colored sufferers from the fire are to be forced to move, have surface toilets and the pumps for drinking water are in close proximity, the water coming within a few feet of the surface. Driving Out Laborers. The report censures the attitude of the white citizens of New Bern in the following terms: "The white people of New Bern in this crisis do not seem to feel any sense of duty in providing for the housing of their colored citizens and are blind to their economic value. New Bern has no white labor and herein is the only way out that lies in the colored man himself quietly organize and leave New Bern. This has been hinted but the white people do not take it seriously. The only other way is for New Bern to be brought to a realization of the injury it will do itself in the eyes of the country if it carries on its present policy." In the course of the fight by colored residents to retain their property and home sites, resolutions were passed and published in a local newspaper on the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, protesting against the injustice being done New Bern colored citizens, and stating: "The proposed condemnation for park and cemeteries will work a grievous hardship and injustice upon the colored people, making it impossible for many of them ever to build again in improved and sanitary locations." (Brown, 1994) Enjoyed by the average white taxayer." N. Y. GLOBE WANTS DYER BILL REVIVED New York, Jan. 26.—New York's prominent daily, The Globe, demands revival and enactment of the Dyer anti-lynching bill by the Senate, in an editorial of January 17. The editorial is as follows: The mob of Arkansas farmers who hanged a railroad striker may be morally different from the union sympathizers at Herrin, Ill., who brutally murdered mine guards and officials, but so far as the maintenance of the law is concerned the result of their action is the same. . . . The habit of lynching Negroes, which is popular in Illinois and in Arkansas, breeds a contempt for the law which does not draw the color line. . . . As to the origin of the Arkansas outrages, it is desirable to suspend judgment pending further information, but concerning the remedy there is no doubt. The enactment of a federal antilynching law which we assurance that the gentry who are relieved this civilizing pastime will have the opportunity to explain their views on mob murder and torture to an impartial murder, will have a cooling effect upon emotions which now are uncontrolled. Congress ought in the name of decency to revive the pending bill and force it through passage. U.N.I.A.IN NEW ORLEANS RAIDED Eight Officers and Two Members Arrested in Connection With Eason Murder. New Orleans, Jan. 26 (Crusader Service).—Charged with complicity in the revolting murder of Dr. J. W. H. Eason, Garvey opponent, and with participation in a plot against the government, ten members of the Garvey organization here, eight officials and two "high members" were arrested last night during a police raid on local headquarters. They were charged with inciting to riot and with complicity in the assassination of Dr. Eason. Colonel George Shanton, Chief of the Department of Justice in Southeastern Louisiana, said that all members of the U. N. I. A. in New Orleans would be examined. He declares he has enough evidence in hand to lodge charges against the leaders of the local branch. Last night's raid has a direct connection with the death of Dr. Eason, who, it was said, at the federal building, was to have been a federal witness against Marcus Garvey of Ghost Ship fame, and now under indictment in New York, charged with using the mails to defraud. William Shakespeare, who has a warrant showing he is "chief of police" of the association and F. W. Dyer, "patrolman," are under arrest on the charge of killing Dr. Eason, and police say they found documentary evidence indicating the two men were sent here for that purpose. Those arrested are: Ike Whitmore, vice president and acting president; Thomas Anderson of New York, assistant general secretary of the New York office; Lawrence J. Davis, treasurer; William Philips, executive secretary; James E. Hill, chaplain; John Carey, Jr., chairman of trustees; Henry Lee, trustee; Thomas Franklin, president of the choir; James Hamilton and Hezeak Griffith. While the two men charged with the shooting are West Indians the rest of those under arrest were born in this country. Four women members of the organization were also taken to police headquarters and questioned, but were not placed under arrest. The seized literature was said to denounce the government and advocate its overthrow. Ford In Sympathy With Klan, Says N. Y. Kleagle Ford In Sympathy With Klan, Says N. Y. Kleagle New York, Jan. 26 (Crusader Service).—Henry Ford is to let the world know his sympathy for the Klu Klux Klan at a big meeting in or near New York in the near future, according to an address by Wilson D. Bush, King Kleagle of the Invisible Empire hereabouts at a secret meeting held by the Kluxers in the bronx Friday night. At the same meeting, declaring that "we took an oath to protect our order with our lives," the King Kleagle issued a warning to the Klansmen against several individuals, including Scanlan, editor of the Catholic Tablet; Warner White of the N. A. A. C. P. and the R. Bell" The King Kleagle boasted of the success of the Klan in having the "Birth of a Nation" revived in New York recently, and declared "Later on we shall get everything we want in the same way. As soon as we fill a few more seats in the halls of legislation we shall strike in forty-eight states at once. Then let us see who can or will dare to stop us." TWO WHITES WHIPPED IN ARKANSAS TOWN Little Rock, Jan. 26 (Crusader Service). Two men were whipped at Heber Springs yesterday and ordered from town. The men are white and alleged strike sympathizers. Another white man was lynched here several days ago, and a number of strikers beaten up by irritate mobs organized and incited by the capitalist press. MILITIA AIDING KLAN, SAYS INDIANA MAYOR Portland, Ind, Jan. 26 (Crusader Service)—A federal investigation of charges by Mayor Thomas J. Fleming that the Ku Klux Klan has been aided by local militia in openly defying the city authorities is promised in a letter from Gov. Warren T. McGray to the Mayor reported the Ku klux par- added on January 17, armed and masked, despite his orders and in violation of the orders of the city council. WILLIAM PICKENS ANSWERSATLANTA PAPER'S CHARGES Communication From D. N. Tobias, Editor, Brings Scathing Retort. New York.-The "Atlanta Independent" introduces its readers to the year 1923 by almost a whole page of pure rot, "denouncing" the N. A. A. C. P. and all its officers. It misrepresents the colored men and women of the organization, and even tries to insult the voluntary white workers. It roundly cusses DuBois, Johnson, White and the others, and we do not intend to waste much time on the abuse which the "Independent" heaps upon these colored men; they have been cussed before; they are used to it. During all the thirteen years in which they have been building up the first national power of the colored American, they have been abused—and some of them before that time even. And the queer thing is, that the cussing and abuse have not done them an accursed, bit of good! Falsehoods Many It is surprising how many plain falsehoods are packed into this single page of the "Independent:" 1. That the colored men and women of the organization are controlled and bossed by some white people or other, and that "not a single colored man or woman has or has ever had any voice whatsoever" in its control. 2. That people like Mary White Ovington and Moorfield Store are in the Association because they have "color prejudice" and want to keep the Negro down!—as if any white person on earth who had brains enough even to desire to keep the Negro down, would not have too much sense to help the N. A. A. C. P. 3. That some Jews and other white people are making "profits" out of the Association. We would rather believe that the "Independent" was duped by the fellow who sent them this article, than to believe the article expresses the real views of that newspaper. The fellow who wrote the article is without influence in his own community, and the odd thing is, that no editor knows him, would be willing to accept any kind of contribution from him. Men Not Bossed. We could believe that some enemy of the colored race paid for that page in the "Atlanta Independent" in order to try to insult the few white friends whom the colored man can now count on, and so drive them away from his cause—if we did not know that almost any worth-while enemy of the colored man would have more sense than to make his lies so plain and so ridiculously extreme that nobody would believe them. For example, take that first lie: That DuBois and other colored men are being "bossed" by somebody. At least all of the intelligent colored people of the United States know that about all of the trouble DuBois ever had in this world, arose from the fact that he will not be "bossed" in any degree either by white groups or colored ones. And it is very poor skill in a liar to accuse a man of having the very "virtue" which nearly everybody else has been cussing him nearly all his life for not possessing; namely, the goodness to be "bossed and controlled." And it is much the same with the other colored men of the organization; some of them have left other and easier work because they would not be "owned and controlled." About Moorfield Storey. But lie No. 2, is the limit, and suggests to us that perhaps after all, the hired liar meant to cheat those who may have hired him by overdoing the thing, so that nobody could believe it: That Miss Ovington, for example, is actuated by "color prejudice" and a desire to hold the Negro down. What a queer Association for any white woman to get into, if she wants to do any harm to the colored race—what queer books she has written on the subject—and what queer speeches she is always making. Think of it—she attacks the enemies of the colorder race more uncompromisingly than do colored themselves, and certainly more boldly than the "Atlanta Independent" ever dared to do it. In the last ten years she has given more towards the advancement of the colored American—without reward—than any other person, who has lived in that time; invaluable services, without a cent of pay, with added contributions in cold cash. And as for Moorfield Store, another white person who must be very queer, if, as the "Independent" states, he must have the "profit" by his connection with this Association, has given services that could not have been bought; he has rescued the family of the "Independent" from residential segregation—from "grandfather" clauses—and while that paper was busy typing its scandalous little paper, Moorfield Store was busy trying to edit its editor and all its readers from "peonage" by pleading the Arkansas cases before the supreme court without a cent of pay. When Store rescued the "Atlanta Independent" staff from the awful damnation of residential segregation in Georgia, he did not receive from them or from anybody else, even a cent for his expenses from Boston to Washington and back. And, besides this inestimable indirect giving, Moorfield Store has given into the treasury of the N. A. A. C. P. in cash more than six thousand dollars. The Association, then, has cost Moorfield Store more in cash and services than it has cost any other person in the world and Mary White Owington has added more in unpurchasable and devoted services than any other mortal. Perhaps the account accused them of making "profit". (Continued on Fourth Page) ST. PAUL E: ferme Te. 5 NEEK’S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITAL.

WILLIAM PICKENS ANSWERS CHARGES Continued from second page just in order to give us a good chance to tell how much they have been giving. Colored People and Jews. And lie No. 3, is about the nastiest of all. Why on earth should a colored newspaper ever strike an attitude of hostility toward Jews? How can the colored man scorn the cooperation of the Jew? The only reason why a goodly number of leaders of the Jewish race can understand the colored man's struggle, is that experience, the only teacher, has made them know what race prejudice is. And one of the most creditable things in human nature is, that some Judaism has given the colored American a lift by their services and their money through the N. A. A. C. P. About the only thing that saves us from disastrous effects of a lying page like that in the "Independent" is, that most of these white people have worked so long and so intimately with colored men and women, that they now know, that although some colored folk, like some white folk, are venal, cheap-spirited, short-visioned and untruth; still there are other kinds of colored people. That is why the petty insult cannot shake their faith and loyalty nor break their co-operation. Colored People In Control. It must be said, too, not as a statement of policy nor as a thing valuable in itself, but merely as a fact in contradiction of the falsehood of the "Independent"—the colored element, not the white, controls the destiny of the N. A. A. C. P. The truth of the matter is, there are not nearly enough white people in it, and it is always a problem how to get more of them more interested. So far, only the most liberal-minded whites can endorse the Association's program, and we know that no "race question" can ever be settled by one race alone. All the races concerned in any interracial matter must get together in some agreement before an abiding settlement can be reached. But meanwhile, the N. A. A. C. P. and the just cause of the colored American, will go forward, with or without "The Atlanta Independent." (Signed) WILLIAM PICKENS, New York City. January, 1923. Successful Soldier Journalist One of the interesting rehabilitation stories of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau is that of Douglas E. Lurton. He volunteered for service when twenty years of age and was assigned to the Medical Department of the regular army at Fort Logan, Colorado. Following an examination at Fort Benjamin Harrisson, Indiana, for overseas duty, he was sent to the Fort Hospital for observation, and on May 21, 1918, was discharged on a Surgeon's Certificate of Disability because of a serious chest disability incurred while in the service. Recovering his health in Arizona and New Mexico, he was entered in vocational training August 2, 1920, with the employment objective of journalist because of his previous experience as a reporter and because of his natural aptitude for newspaper work. He was given placement training in journalism with the Minneapolis Daily News, where, because of his ability and faithful work, he was promoted from re-write man to dramatic editor to city editor, becoming one of the youngest city editors on a metropolitan daily. He was rehabilitated December 31, 1921, and immediately assumed the position of Night Editor of the Grand Forks, North Dakota, Herald at a substantial salary.
