The Appeal

VOL. 39 NO. 8 DENV DIVISION BALKS EFFORT TO OUST CLEVELAND VICE Newcomers Unwilling to Take Blame for Conditions in Schools Some Fear Separate Schools As Result; Say Exposure Was Unwise CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 23—Following the visit of a delegation of ministers and welfare workers at the office of the Superintendent of Public schools here on Friday afternoon two weeks ago in an effort to have something done to check the wave of vice conditions reaching out its fangs into the schools and degrading the boys and girls her in their teens a storm of criticism has been raging from all quarters. Newcomers Aroused. The masses who have recently settled in this city from the southern states declaring that all the blame for vice conditions in the city are blamed on them; while those who have been here for a number of years protest that this movement is the first step of a movement that has in fact been brought about. None claim that the delegation might have been prompted by the best of motives, but they were unwise in their expression. So the whole situation looks as though not much good will be accomplished for there is such a division of sentiment in the matter. That conditions are bad in certain sections of this city cannot be denied. A remedy must be had but just how remedy these conditions none at present seem to be able to point the way. Both Races Bad. W. L. Porter, editor of the Cleveland Call takes the position that conditions are bad here, but that equally so with both races. He deplores the fact that some mistaken ideas should have gotten out that colored women are morally deprived either in Cleveland, the South, North or anywhere elsewhere. He declares that its dependence in its women for he says, "Our race will not make much progress if the leaders (?) are going to heap fire upon the heads of our women. They are the inspiration of of every good thought immersed in goodness and steady advance, and inasmuch as a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, nor can we make much headache when we encounter us the race of people rising above its women and we will show you a nation lingering on the borderline of stagnation and decay." Population Increased. During the past five years Cleveland has more than quadrupled its colored population by an influx of persons from southern states. In fairness to all concerned it must be remembered that conditions between the races are bound to be somewhat changed by the sudden increase of or fifty thousand persons in short time from a section or sections where living conditions and environments are different. Persons who have lived in Cleveland for a number of years have acquired the mannerisms and became accustomed to conditions here. They understood members of the elite to be very well understood by the other race. The newcomers did not understand the colored people already here, nor were they understood and in addition these newcomers did not understand existing conditions. Adjustments were necessary and naturally slow. Many of the new comers from the other sections of the country. It is claimed that in time all these conditions will become adjusted without the serious results often imagined. NEW YORK KLUXERS LIGHT-HUGE CROSSES FREEPORT, L. I., Feb. 23.—(Crusader Service.) Four flaming crosses, symbols of the Ku Klux Klan and its sponsorship of Protestant white supremacy, supposedly planted after dark and ignited by members of the Ku Klux Klan, burst in Freeport, Lynbrook, Long Beach and Rockville Center tonight. The fire department of Freeport and Lynbrook were called out, that of the latter narrowly escaping disaster on the Long Island railroad tracks. At Long Beach and Rockville the crosses were isolated. There was set in a hole dug across Main street from the municipal auditorium where at the time it burst into flame a meeting of Nassau County colored people, in commemoration of the birth of Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln was in progress. The flaming cross was thrown through at its close, organisers of a militant organization with headquarters in New York City were very successful in signing up recruits. William Battle, Boy Slayer, Is Executed (CRUSADER SERVICE) Templeton, N.J. William Battin, 19-year-old colored boy, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Elinor Louise Brigham in her Orange home secured her host, but she put to death by the chant of the state seal, later beheaded. Battle was accompanied to the chair by Rev. H. C. Van Peek, colored chaplain of Newark, and Rev. Cladan and H. Elder, one of the prison chaplains. He said nothing as he was being strapped into the chair, but mechanically repeated prayers after the ministers. During the day he had been baptized by the colored minister, and to him protested his innocence of the crime. RECORD COMPANY INCREASES STOCK Pace Corporation Capital Moved to $75,000; Name Is Changed New York, N. Y., Feb. 23.—At the annual meeting of the stockholders held here this week, the legal details necessary to the change of name of the Pace Phonograph Corporation, manufacturers of Black Swan Records, to the Black Swan Phonograph Company, Incorporated, were completed. At the same time the capital stock of the company was increased from $50,000.00 to $75,000.00 and a cash dividend of 6 per cent, was voted to the stockholders of record.

It does its own recording, plating, pressing and printing and employs over forty people, with over one thousand dollars per week. The report showed the gross income of the company for the year was over a quarter of a million dollars. Despite the serious depression during last year it showed a steady average in sales for all three of its instruments, records, needles and Swanolas. During the year the company paid to colored singers and musicians over $5,000.00 for records made, furnishing opportunities to our singers denied by white companies. Some of them were whom we made during the year were Florence Cole Talbert, Antointe Garnes, Kemper Harreld, Revella Hughes, Ethel Waters, Trixie Smith, Josie Miles and many others. Every type of song from grand opera, sacred, standard to popular numbers are produced by the company to compare favorably with any record made. The new board of directors consists of John E. Nail, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, T. K. Gibson, W. H. Wilson, Dr. M. V. Boutte, J. Thomas Williams, Philadelphie, Dr. Gosney V. Bibb, Dr. W. Willis, Mrs. Vary Bibb, J. P. Quander, Jr., and Harry H. Pace. The late Bert Williams was one of the principal stockholders of the company, and had consent just before he died to become consulting director of recording. WAR ON MOSQUITOES CUTS DOWN MARIA ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Feb. 23—Hundreds of communities are—busy undertaking malaria control, with the state of Alabama in the lead, asserted A. Laprince, senior sanitary engineer, United States Health Service, today before the tenth annual convention of the New Jersey Mosquito Extermination Association at the Ambassador Hotel. Traps are being effectively used for mosquitoes, according to Dr. O. H. Henderson, chief of Entology of the United States Department of Agriculture. "A wooden box of a box," he said, "with hinged lid is covered with mosquito netting, and this skeleton box is put inside an open top box that is placed under night the hinged top of the inner box is left open, and in the morning, when the mosquitoes have settled down, the hinged lid is closed and fastened." On last Friday night, the newly organized Boy Scout troop at St. James church attended a district rally and won the district banner for attendance. The troop was 100 per person, and the district per for three months, and if one were to judge by the enthusiasm of the boys, they will win it again. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.

Organization Has Fostered Cooperation of Races Annual Report Shows New York—Steady increase in the forces making for co-operation between the colored and white races was emphasized by L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman of the National Urban League, the seventh annual meeting in the Russell University Foundation building Wednesday. He reported that the year 1922 had been the most important in the history of the Urban League movement which started with a small group in New York spending $2,500 in 1910 and has grown to a national movement with borne the name Urban League Foundation spending more than $250,000 a year. As material evidence of this increased interest, the Urban League announced that four new cities had organized affiliated groups in 1922 and that the income of the national organization, had increased $15,000 to a total of $43,486. Announcement was also made that friends of the late Mrs. Harry Plotz, who died in Paris last spring, had raised $250,000 which has been given the National Urban League Foundation the establishment of the Ella Sachs Plotz Fund, the income from which is to be devoted "to the development and training of some colored man or woman especially fitted for social and civic service in the community." Mrs. Plotz, who was a daughter of the founder of the Urban League Board and a Trustee of Fisk University. the executive secretary of the league, Eugene Kinckle Jones, presented his annual report showing the branches of the league, the establishment of a new monthly magazine, "Opportunity," a journal of colored life, surveys of the colored people of Hartford and of the industrial opportunistic industries. Record of the work in local communities was also presented. GILLESLETS "Out of sight is out of mind" in business as well as otherwise. An open mind and a closed mouth will keep one out of a lot of trouble. Blessed is the man who is in love with his wife and with his job. A good wife and a good job will make a man of him if there is any make in him. One's attitude of mind is his "balance of power" in life. It may be turned either way, and he goes up or down accordingly. To read the Bible as the average man would read it and preach it as the average man would preach it to an audience of average people is good reading and good preaching. Watching the clock before beginning time is as nice as doing so before filling the pay envelope is as nice as filling the day's work. The man who trusts God and and works hard will probably do the other things necessary to success. The man's greatest problem is himself. Your ability to get along with people depends a good deal upon your ability to keep mum and keep sweet. A cheerful front and the best foot forward are pretty sure to get a man somewhere. ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Alexander, 687 W.

COLLIER'S DEMANDS FEDERAL LYNCH LAW Weekly Says Nation Must Act If Mob Murders Are to Be Checked New York, Feb. 23.—Collier's National Weekly, 416 West 13th street, New York, demands enactment of a federal law to prevent lynching, in the issue of February 17. The editorial in part follows: "When the miners tried for the murder at Herrin were acquitted the other day, their lawyer commented that the mine guards had terrorized the community and the strikers rose in righteous wrath. He gave the blanket excuse that is given for every mob that kills. Murder under any name, done for any excuse, is the same. Murder is murder,regeneration of who the murderer is and of who their victims are. This means mobs as much as individuals. "A mob in Harrison, Tex., kills a railroad striker. That is murder, though the killers think themselves public-spirited vigilantes. A mob in Louisiana tortures two men in a cootie murder, though the murderers wear silly regalia and call themselves high-spirited patriots and heaven knows what else. "If we hope to stop mob murders and punish the murderers, we shall have to act as a nation. The killers will as to cover mob murders of all types, and to provide that ransoms resulting shall be for federal prosecution in federal courts." Mr. L. W. Pleasant is back from an extensive business trip through the South that took him to New Orleans, La., Houston and Galveston Tex., Kansas City and other places. At the age of eighteen Mr. Pleasant although young, had business ideas. He acquired a strip of land in Louisiana which initially had covered the show window oil dispenser. His object in the trip was to let contracts and get business matters straightened out. All indications show that St. Paul is to have a colored oil king. While away Mr. Pleasant did not fall to let people know that he was from St. Paul. He is an accomplished musician and plays for dances and in his church choir. He was a memoirist and a co-ordinator of an hundred and fifty pieces that played in the parade that was staged in connection with the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Mr. Pleasant's trip was a success financially. Mr. Frederick D.

File Petition To Dissolve Company File Petition To Dissolve Company Stockholders Want Assets of Inactive Mercantile Firm Distributed A petition to dissolve the St. Paul Co-operative Mercantile association, in May 15, 1920, with a capital stock of $50,000, was filed in the district court Tuesday by Atty. Roscoe C. Crump. This corporation is composed of local men, its officers being: Oliver Taylor, president; C. H. Logan, vice president, and C. W. Barber, secretary and treasurer. The purpose of the corporation was to own and operate a chain of grocery stores on the co-operative plan, but the interest of the members was small. The project would fail. The majority of the members and stockholders decided that it was best to dissolve the corporation and distribute the assets. Nearly $1,000 has been paid into the corporation but it has never done any business. The St. Paul concern was formerly a member of the Co-operative Society of America, a million dollar corporation, now in the hands of a receiver. Atty. Crump, who is appearing in behalf of the petitioners, is a recent graduate of the St. Paul College of Law. HONDURAS MOVES TO BAR COLORED PEOPLE SAN SALYADOR, Feb. 22—The Honduran Government has prohibited the further immigration of West Indians to work in the banana plantations consequence of a protest over the influx by the local labor leaders, according to an announcement by the Honduran Minister her. The Honduran authorities are said to have notified their consuls abroad to cease visiting the passports of loved people. Failure.

Raid Ohio Klan Office And Lock Up Kleagle Raid Ohio Klan Office And Lock Up Kleagle Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 23.—A legal battle is promised as a result of the arrest here of W. M. Cortner of Muncie, Ind., kleagle and organizer of the Springfield branch of the Ku Kluxers, following a raid on headquarters, headed by Police Chief O'Brien; the Klan were seized and although there were a number of persons at the meeting, only Cortner was arrested, charged with conspiracy to incite a riot. The Kluxers are threatening legal steps to release Cortner and regain the Klan leadership. They include a list of 681 names of prospective members, the police say, among them Chester S. Fess, son of United States Senator-elect S. D. Fess. Thirty-four hoods and robes, with the breasts confined gang on the breast were confiscated. CHARACTER TOPIC AT SUNDAY FORUM Rev. H. Y. Williams Says Human Worth Is Measured Also in Service "What Are You Worth?" was the question Rev. H. Y. Williams, pastor of the Peoples church, asked his audience at the N. A. A. C. P. forum, which was held at Pilgrim-on-the-road. Sally Tempelman, answering his own question, said that human valuation could not be intrusted to the measurements of the business man or the chemist, but should be measured by two things, namely, character and service. Business men say that the average man is worth $4,000 and that the average man of 30 is worth about $16,000; but none of us would like to believe that these figures name our real worth. "Real worth is measured in character and service. The proportion of men in society is a body of society, whether it be an army corps, a village, or a metropolis, will determine its value as a social unit; and the service rendered by its members will determine its progress.

The attempt of Jim Smith, formerly employed in the six-story apartment house at 101 West 52 Street, in an attempt to down the dumb waiter after being interrupted in an attempt to enter the apartment of a woman artist on the third floor, led to his arrest yesterday. Smith let himself down to the basement, but here he found the door of the shaft locked. Detectives, finding the apartment upset and no trace of Smith, hurried to the bottom of the elevator shaft and opening the door confronted the man with revolvers, and bent down with revolvers apartment, but several watches and other pieces of jewelry were found upon his person. RACE QUESTION ACID TEST OF CHRISTIANITY NEW YORK, Feb. 23—(Crusader Service.) At a Lincoln Birthday service in the Calvary Baptist Church, 123 West Fifty-seventh street, last evening, the Rev.

"That is the acid test of American freedom to challenge to the Christian religion." ISSUE STUDENTS ATTEND DANCE; SEPARATE SCHOOLS HINTED High School Seniors Force Entrance to Class Prom Over Protests COLORED OPINION DIVIDED Denials and Counter Denials Fly Among Colored Bodies As to Endorsement Denver, Feb. 23.—Serious talk of "Jim Crow" practices and separate schools here has arisen as a result of the attendance of a party of ten colored boys and girls at the formal senior prom of the graduating class of the East Denver high school, last Saturday night at the exclusive Coronado club on Capitol hill. Demand Entrance Appearing at the doors of the dancing club early in the evening, the colored students demanded entrance as members of the class. Principal Roscoe C. Hill argued with the party and attempted to persuade them to go elsewhere to dance, but they insisted upon their right to attend the dance of the class of which they were members. He finally acceded to their request and they were allowed upon the dance noor. White guests at the party were exasperated and trouble seemed imminent. The party threatened to be disrupted, but when the music started again the dance went on, and barred the dance from the cloak rooms, there was no onbreak. "While I felt that it was an unwise move on the part of the colored party," said Mr. Hill, principal of the school, Monday. "I had no choice but to admit them to the dance. The public schools and therefore entitled to attend the functions of their class." Deny Endorsing Act. At the time of the move on the part of the colored students it was said that the action had the endorsement of the Denver Colored Men's Civic association and the Women's federation, but since the incident, a speaker purporting to represent the civic association has denied that the organization endorsed the civic association has come back, through its president, and denied that it authorized a speaker to voice its views on the action. The Denver Post (daily) quotes Viewer Walker, the speaker as saying: "Personally we feel that the students who attended the prom committed no offense known to law or society; they were quite ill and right in the class in the same school, but the issue, being a social one, was not of sufficient importance to call for its prosecution, when doing so jeopardizes the lives of the students they are so much more important to the masses of colored people." Favor Segregation. Since the incident, which caused considerable commotion and ill feeling in the East Side high school, several civic bodies have gone on record as favoring race segregation, according to the Post. PAUL ROBESON DENIES HE WILL ENTER RING Famous Athlete Says Press Rumors Are Wholly Without Foundation New York City, N. Y., Feb. 23.—Paul L. Robeson, the noted colored athlete, is not to become a pugilist. This statement is given out by the authority of the noted football star himself. In a letter Mr. Robeson takes occasion to say: "Recent white daily newspaper have printed stories, curing my ambition and intention of entering the boxing game. The stories are wholly untrue and unfounded. In some instances the writers have gone to say that my law practice has failed and that I could not support my wife and children. I have no children to have in law practice, as yet. I have not been admitted to the bar." Mr. Robeson threatens to sue for libel damages all newspapers who do not retract the statement that he is to become a prize fighter. Many people here think that the great foot-score is making a mistake for going where he should, for the world could opportunity for him to become the champion heavyweight prize fighter of the world. They further declare that everything is in his favor of so becoming if he would but remember that he has the physical power plus the brains. In a year or so they assume he would be able to whip Jack Dempsey. Entered at the Postoffice in St. Paul, Minne- sota, as second-class mail matter, June 5, 1885, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. TERMS STRICTLY IN ADVANCE Single Copy, One Year. ..... $2.00 Single Copy, Six Months. ..... 1.00 Single Copy, Three Months. ..... 50 BUSINESS REAL ESTATE No better index of the character of the colored population of St. Paul can be had than the purchase of real estate—residences and business properties. While no definite statistics regarding the percentage of colored home owners is available, it is well known that the city stands high on the list in this respect. Purchasers of business real estate, however, have been rare, and for this reason, the recent acquisition of two business blocks by colored men is doubly significant. The corners at Dale and Rondo and Kent and St. Anthony are in the heart of the colored residential district. Their purchase by colored business men indicates that both the residents and the purchasers are stable, progressive elements in the whole community. Buying of this nature makes for progress and prosperity—the kind of prosperity that counts. Too often the prosperity of the members of the race is of a showy, temporary nature. A man who hasn't next week's rent will pawn a hand bag in order to buy a flashy stone at a bargain. Many families take the money needed to pay the gas bill and buy gasoline for a Ford bought on time. The writer has seen a family that needed bread and clothing paying installments on a victrola! Needless to say, this prosperity is of the bubble variety. Wise spending and intelligent investment make for real prosperity, interested, conscientious citizenship, and above all, respect for the race. SPREADING POISON The speech of Bishop R. E. Jones before gathering of Minneapolis pastors last week as reported in the Minneapolis Daily News left the colored people of the Twin Cities in a daze. According to the News story, the South is "facing ruin" because of the exodus of colored labor which is leaving solely because "the doctrine of Bolshevism has permeated the Negro mind." The reporter further quoted the Bishop as saying that when the churches took in the colored man as a brother the problem would be solved "and the Negro can be kept at the beck and call of the white man." Colored and white citizens might never have known differently if the Minneapolis Journal's report of the same meeting had not effectively discredited the News. According to the Journal, the Bishop stressed the fact that the exodus was due primarily to the conditions of peonage and other forms of oppression in the South, continuing: As a result, the white man is planning certain economic changes in his relations with the colored man, not because of a change of heart, but because of economic and social necessities. Fortunate it is that there is a Journal in Minneapolis, a paper which has a record for sobriety and accuracy, for no matter how much the Methodist brethren who heard the speech might remonstrate, there would always be a suspicion in the minds of Twin City folk. The News story is not dangerous because it took one of the causes cited by the Bishop and printed it as the only cause, but because it doctored the part it did quote and omitted the phrases which tell that the Bishop was fearlessly picturing the situation and demanding better opportunities for the colored workman. Therein is the poison. If the News and papers of its ilk can further divide and confuse the black race by disreducing its influential men they will be doing as much to keep the black man in bondage as the plantation owners and "Jim Crow" prophets of the South. LET'S GET READY No less an authority than the Secretary of Labor affirms that an unprecedented winter exodus of colored people from the South to the North is in progress. Lester A. Watson, in the New York World, estimates that 50,000 have left in the last ninety days. Last week we stood in a Chicago railroad station and watched three carloads get off the Illinois Central train from Florida. They're coming, and some of them won't stop in Chicago. They'll come on North—to the Twin Cities. What are we doing to make ready for our share of this inflow? Nothing. By spring the movement will be in full flood and we, the residents of these two cities, will be riding high on the stormy tide of racial unrest, friction, and perhaps prescription. There is no guesswork about it. Wherever there has been a heavy inflow of Southern colored people unused to Northern freedom and urban conditions, friction and misunderstanding between the races have been made more acute. Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh and other centers are examples. If St. Paul wishes to avoid this sort of situation it must begin to plan and act now. There must be no quibbling about who is going to be the "bib" man or the "leading" organization in the work; all must work together. There must be no generalities. Specific studies of housing, employment and their related problems must be made; necessary educational programs must be worked out; adequate reception machinery should be devised and responsible information stations maintained. This preparation will not require a large fund if all agencies in the community co-operate as they should. We owe it to the newcomers, we owe it to the two cities, and certainly we owe it to ourselves as a self-protective measure, to plan a definite program for assimilating our share of the migrants. FAIR HARVARD During the war, you remember, President Wilson used to discriminate in his public utterances between the German people and their rulers wishing the former gpeedship in their strivings upward and toward democracy. It is high time, we believe that America took some such benevolent attitude toward/ Harvard University. President Lowell's original mistake lay in making residence in freshmen dormitories compulsory. Once get aboard that particular train of logic which starts with the assumption that human beings should be herded arbitrarily for their own good and there is no telling into what tight places it will convey you. In the Harvard of Elliot's day everyone, including freshmen, lived where he pleased and those who, for one reason or another, found their neighbors objectionable usually sought other quarters. In any case, they could hold me one in authority responsible for their predicament. This may have had its disadvantages, but it made practical Harvard's cosmopolitan student body, its individualism and its tolerance. President Lowell, shocked, as all true Puritans are always shocked, at some of the manifestations of self-determination, ended it. And one prohibition has led to another, while day by day, in every way, Harvard sinks Loweller and Loweller.-Judge. GOVERNOR REILY OUT The long predicted resignation of Mr. E. Mont Reilly as governor general of Porto Rico, now a reality closes out one of the most bothersome controversies of President Harding's administration. The whole trouble arose out of Mr. Reilly's inability to work in harmony with the Unionist party of Porto Rico, whose moderate and loyal program he chose to interpret as radical and disloyal. He made his own difficulties and succeeded only in antagonizing those who should have been his best friends. In short, he proved himself temperamentally unfit for the delicate administrative problem with which he was confronted. There was not the slightest necessity for this unpleasant controversy, and now that it is closed, with victory for the Porto Rico Unionists, it is to be hoped that every effort will be made to remedy the situation as he leaves it. His resignation will in all probability be accepted, and when a successor is appointed he must be a man who understands Porto Rico, its people and its politics, and who will be able to solve the problems which arise without antagonizing a population which only harbors fair treatment. The Mimeapolis Daily News, in an editorial entitled, "They'd Better Stay at Home" advises that if colored people are coming North in search of work and better conditions, they had better stay in the South, because Northern industries have now about as much labor as they can use, and an influx of more laborers would disorganize the industrial system. The News cities Minnesota as one example and generalizes about the rest of the North. It stated the case of Minnesota accurately, perhaps, but Minnesota is an agricultural state. The value of her industries is slightly more than one eighth that of her agriculture. Surely its true of Minnesota, but what about the essentially industrial Northern states? If the manufacturers do not want more labor why are they working so hard for unrestricted immigration? Why are they trying to convert unions to the wholesale immigration theory? Do the captains of industry want immigration because they love Defective Page the Europeans? Well, hardly. They want immigration because they want more labor. The funny, inexplicable thing about it all is that in the face of the knowledge that the foreign element in the radical labor organizations is responsible for no many of the employers' labor troubles, both he and the News are willing to accept the trouble-making foreigner rather than the American colored workman whom Bishop Jones said was not a striker and never will be! A correspondent to the Indianapolis Freeman in deploring the vice conditions in Cleveland concludes that teachers are at fault because they set the example for impressionable boys and girls. This view is characteristic of a great mass of parents and adults and can charitably be described as short-sighted. Too many parents, both black and white have argued themselves out of responsibility for their children's conduct by seizing upon the teachers. Absurdity is a mild name for this reasoning A sexconscious child does not come under the influence of a teacher until he reaches high school. This means that for twelve or thirteen years he has been under the sole guidance of his parents. Whatever moral values and sex ideals he has have come or should have come from his parents. In high school he comes under the teacher's eye six hours a day. To hold the teacher responsible for the shaping of his life is manifestly ridiculous. Its time for parents to turn the light inward and stop "passing the buck" to the teacreis. Springfield, Ohio, has won its fight against separate schools. The attempt was made in the usual way: colored children were forbidden to transfer to other schools and white children were not only permitted, but were encouraged to transfer to other schools. Attempts were made to force colored children outside of the particular school district to attend the school which the authorities determined to make colored school Children forged once got together and FOUGHT. Children were kept out of school, and both the children and their mothers picketed the streets. It was a splendid victory. It demonstrates that with teach law on one's side and an unbiased court, fearless resistance of attempted encroachments upon the civil rights will accomplish results. May Springfield's spirit ever be an example to harrassed colored folk. If we did not have the Pittsburgh Courier before us in which is displayed a big double-column ad of the Westinghouse works asking for colored workers and promising advancement, we might believe the Minneapolis Daily News when it says that there is no demand for colored labor in the North. William Jennings Bryan's recent attack on the theory of evolution causes the Reverend George Craig Stewart to cry out: "Mr. Bryan is a conspicuous example of the man who thinks he is thinking, but who is only rearranging his prejudices. Few men really think. INCOME TAX FACTS NO. 3 The revenue act of 1921 provides that an income tax return shall be filed by every person, married or single, whose gross income for the year 1922 was $5,000 or more frequently paid in income, all income includes the tax payer by the taxayer from the year from salary or wages, or from "business, trade, profession or vocation," dealing in property, or the transaction of any business, or of payment of income, upon which the tax is assessed is gross income less certain specified deductions for business expenses, losses, bad debts, taxes, contributions, etc. Among the most important items in the returns of many tax payers are the income tax deductions. In the case of a storekeeper, they include a reasonable allowance for salaries paid employees, amounts spent for advertising, premiums for insurance against fire or other business accidents, heat and fuel used in his place of business, dragyage and freight bills. A professional man, doctor or lawyer, may claim as deductions the cost of supplies used in the practice of professional services, the operation and repair of an automobile used in making professional calls, dues to professional societies, subscriptions to professional journals, office rent, and the cost of fuel, light, heat and water used in his office, and the hire of a ninety-seventh year. The farmer may deduct all amounts paid in the production, harvesting and marketing of crops, including labor, cost of seed and fertilizer purchased, cost of minor repairs to crops (obtained by giving, which is personal) and cost of small tools used up in the course of a year or two.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Editor of the Appeal: I note with interest the article in the Daily News, Monday, February 12th, quoting Bishop Robert E. Jones of the New Orleans Area of the Theodist Epigraphical Church, on the Missionary Negroes to the North. The News quote the Bishop as saying "the reading of radical literature" and "bolshevistic" ideas" are the cause of the "Negro" exodus. I further note, as a result of this article, the editorial in the News for March 19th entitled "Theod Better Stay Home," where it says "If southern "Negroes" are flocking northward seeking more freedom for the exercise of bolshikvide ideas, they would better stay at home, if they were better at needing and if ultra-radical ideals the reason for the exodus, they are not the sort of a reason that promises betterment to those who seek a new location. In defense of the hundreds of thousands of "Negroes" who have contributed to and have listened attentively to the Bishop's address, I beg to offer this explanation: 1st. The article in the Monday News only partially quoted the Bishop. 2nd. It put the emphasis on "radical readings" and "bolsehismic ideas" because of the "Negroj" exodus when this was only one of the causes cited The Bishop ascribed the causes to: 1. The lure of high wages in the North. 2. Ravages of the cotton ball weevil which destroyed the cotton crops—the world's greatest product. 3. The New York's living in constant mob fear of promiscuous lynching and mob rule. 5. The marked decrease in illiteracy among Negroes—80 out of 100 being able to read and write. 6. His reading of the same books, magazines, papers and radical literature as the white man, and, "as a result," said the Bishop, "they now have big ideas, aims and ambitions the same as the white man." Certainly, one could blame a people Southern "Negro" for seeking a chance for development that's causing freedom. Instead of being bolshievistic ideas—unless the protection of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"—are bolshievistic—it is better education, higher ideals and a chance for development that's causing freedom. Again, the Bishop vividly portrayed at the Methodist, Ministers' Meeting. (Rev.) David M. Jordan, Ave. M. E. Church.

BOY SCOUTS BOY SCOUTS ON THE FARM One of the most fascinating places for a boy scout to live is on a farm. On the farm, out among the fields, on the open road, under the clear sky, a boy could easily imagine himself back in the company of the sturdy pioneers, scouts and brave frontiersmen who roamed through just such scenes. The country boy has a big advantage in being able to step from his front door-step right out into the world of scouting—the great free out of doors. Scouting gives the country boy a chance to acquire a wonderful fund of knowledge about nature. Knowledge that otherwise might be rather vague, through the systematic work of scouting, becomes a decided asset of clear facts. The country boy gets the opportunity through the scout troop to mingle with other boys and to satisfy the natural desire every boy has for the companionship of lads of his own age. The nation is looking more and more to the country for leaders with fresh ideas and the spirit of progress. Thus the country stands in need of the country boy trained through the scout program for citizenship responsibilities and duties. When it comes to that part of the scout program where, working for merit badges begins to play a prominent part, how intensely interesting must the ordinary duties of the farm become. If the scout son is working for the merit badge in dairying, what a joy it must be to see that the cows are properly taken care of—that the milk is handled in a careful manner. Every step on takes the joy of achievement, of going forward in scout rank. To provide for the rural boy the Boy Scouts of America have instituted a department for troops not under coun- cil, that is for troops which, because of distance, cannot be affiliated with a council, and for the lad who cannot because of distance join any troop, the ranks of the "Pioneer Boys Scouts" are open. BOY SCOUT CHIEF ON TRIP A. James E. West, chief executive of the Boy Scouts of America, who made an extended trip through the western states in the interest of scouting. BOOKS FOR BOY SCOUTS Among the thousands of books on the market purporting to be about scouting, there are many gross misrepresentations. For a number of years the library department of the Boy Scouts of America has rendered the public the service of review of books for boys, in the belief that the indoor sport of reading good literature is as essential to character development as the outdoor sports so closely allied with scouting. Scout parents will be interested to know, especially now that the holiday season is approaching, with its time of intensive book buying, that the library department fspes free of charge a list of books that have received the careful consideration and indorsement by the boy scout organization. The books have been selected not solely on the basis of literary merit, but also because of wholesomeness and proved appeal to the boy reader. REMEMBER SOLDIER DEAD For fifteen years Memorial day had passed without observance in a small community of Cerro Gordo county, Iowa. This year a troop of scouts was formed in the place and it followed that Memorial day was observed with scouts in almost complete charge, the scoutmaster making the address at the cemetery, the scouts decorating the graves, and the troop bugler sounding taps. SCOUTS MAKE WARM FRIENDS Troop No. 2 of East St. Louis, Ill., recently gave a practical demonstration of the spirit of scouting, and incidentally made eight firm friends when it presented a basket filled with good things to eat to a needy family that was stranded in that city. The family consisting of a father, who was suffering from tuberculosis; the mother, one daughter, and five small sons, had been traveling in an open auto. The scouts also provided warm clothing for the little boys. UNDERWYE UNDERWYE Mme.

MEET ONE DAY; WED FOURTH Lieutenant Barrett of United States Navy and Bride Show Speed in Cafe Romance. Philadelphia—Met, on one day, engaged on the next one and married on the fourth day. So reads the breath-taking romance of Lleut. Melvin Hughes Barrett, United States navy, and his bride, formerly Miss Eleanor Sage of 141 West Phil-Ellena street, Germantown. The two were married after an early-morning journey from this city to Elkton in a taxicab. The newly-weds were parted temporarily immediately after the ceremony, when Lieutenant Barrett left with his ship, the Hannibal, for southern waters. The couple plan to meet each other in the Isle of Pines, off Cuba, in a short time. The two met when Miss Sage was taken to lunch by a girl friend. The girl friend knew an ensign in the restaurant, who introduced Lieutenant Barrett. CUTS DOWN POSTAL HOLDUPS Post Office Department Has Reduced Losses From $3,286,017 to $24,553 in Two Years. Washington.—Losses to the government through mail bandits in major mail robberies have been materially reduced by the relentless warfare waged by the Post Office department. They have aggregated only $24,553 for the last nine months, compared with $1,129,866 for the year ending March 31. Two years ago $8,556,407 was stolen from the mails, of which $3,286,017 was recovered, leaving a net loss of $3,000,890. There were no major train holdups or major mail-truck holdups in which the outlaws made their escape with loot in the last nine months. One major robbery of a post office station and two major robberies of post messengers or mail carriers involved $79,200, of which $4,647 was recovered, leaving a net loss of $24,553. LIGHTSHIP WARNS BY RADIO New Vessel for Nantucket Shoals Has Novel Fog Signal Device to Warn Mariners. Washington.—Nantucket shoals, off the Massachusetts south coast, one of the most important lightship stations in the world, and the point where many an incoming traveler gets his first glimpse of America, will be marked within a few months by the last word in light signals. One of the new lightships under construction at Bath, Me, will replace the present ship on Nantucket south shoals. It will have a radio fog signal to warm ships which pass, will be equipped with electric signal lights and will have an oscillator in place of a submarine bell for use during fogs. The new vessel will be fully equipped for radio communication. Mexico City.—Considerable anxiety is being shown by the Indian population of the village of Mexcoac, near Mexico City, following the recent declarations of Father Genaro Rivera, a Carmelite monk residing there, that the end of the world will come on December 12, 1954. The monk bases his prediction on highly complex astronomical observations he has been conducting for years, and he asserts that the millennium is a certainty on the date mentioned. Local newspapers have given much prominence to the predictions. THE HOME RADIO How to Make and Use It By A. HYATT VERRILL Copyright by Hyman & Bradley IX. AIR-GAPS AND LIGHTNING SWITCHES records of fires or injuries from aerials during thunder storms are extremely rare. During an electrical storm the instruments cannot be used owing to the "static" or electricity in the air and the confusion of currents, waves and inductance, and by installing a lightning-switch or an air-gap there will be no danger to the premises. In fact, a properly installed aerial does not affect the rate of insurance and if installed in accordance with the regulations of the local fire department you may be sure there is not the least danger. The fire department records of New York City do not show a single instance of configurations started by aerials and lightning. The simplest and best safeguard for receiving aerials in the air-gap shown in Fig. 16. This consists of two metal attachments separated by about one-eighth of an inch A-B, one of which (A) is attached to the lead-in wire (the wire to set being fastened to it also) while the other (B) is connected by a wire to the ground direct. This gap is mounted in much the same manner as a lightning-switch, Fig. 17 (on a window sill or other convenient spot), in which A shows connections to aerial, B to receiver and C to ground connection. When the station is not in use, or during thunder storms, the handle D is thrown from A to C, this cutting off all connection between the lead-in wire and the instruments and connecting the aerial directly with the ground. Aerists for sending or translations stations are very different from those used for receiving only and should be of several wires. The most efficient is probably the "cage" type shown in Fig. 18, but any of the others illustrated in Figs. 19, 20 and 21 will answer. These should, of course, be fully insulated and the various methods of doing this are well shown in the figures and require no explanation. To install sending stations a license is required, whereas to receive, no license is needed. rican URNISHING CO. St. near Wabasha The Americ HOUSE FURNISH 22·24 E.7th.

UBEL 478 WABASHA ST. FURS A great many people are very much afraid of lightning following an aerial and injuring the premises, for they seem to think that the wires "attract" lightning, just as many people with intelligence and education still believe that steel knives or hardware or wire netting window screens "attract" the lightning. As a matter of fact, none of these things "attract" the lightning, but merely form a convenient conductor to enable the lightning to ground itself. Lightning-rods are designed for the same purpose and a properly installed aerial, instead of leopardizing a building, is really an excellent safeguard and guards a splendid lightning rod. Lightning strikes a building or object when it is trying to find a way to the earth and if the object struck is a good conductor of sufficient capacity it does no damage. For this reason, houses covered with wire netting and climbing vines are far better than those which are bare, and steel buildings, such as the New York sky scrapers, steel bridges, and elevated structures, iron smokestacks and chimneys, iron steamships and railway tracks are seldom injured, by lightning although frequently "struck"; the reason being that the electricity passes through them freely without encountering resistance. On the other hand, wooden buildings, trees and human beings are poor conductors and when dry are almost non-conductors of electricity, and when the lightning tries to follow such objects to ground, the resistance is so great that serious damage is done. It is exactly like forcing water through a pipe. If you have a powerful stream of water or a great volume of water and provide a pipe large enough for it to flow freely, the pipe will not be injured, even if it is very light and frail; whereas, if you attempted to force the same stream or same volume through a much smaller or clogged pipe, the pipe would be burst or the water would overflow and flood the surroundings. Statistics prove that as far as airsails are concerned there is no danger and A. B. Do you "save for a purpose?" The Home for Savings.

Veterans' Bureau, C. D. Hibbard, District Manager, Minneapolis, has a special physiotherapy department for giving treatments to the disabled soldiers who need and are entitled to them. The majority of the patients are those with indefinite pains which apparently have existed for a long time and upon which many therapeutic measures have been tried. The great majority of the cases are what is ordinarily termed rheumatism, neuritis, and myositis. Usually they are treated with heat and massage and by careful observation the doctor is frequently able to locate the focal infections and to advise its removal before giving further treatment. There are many patients whose sole trouble seems to be extremes nervousness. These patients are benefited by heat and massage and sometimes by some electrical application. The physiotherapy department is in charge of a physician who sees all patients and prescribes all treatments, and three trained, skillful nurses who attend to the treatment. The average is about 40 patients a day. A great majority of the men have expressed themselves as deriving a great deal of benefit from the treatments. In many of the old, chronic cases only temporary benefits can be expected. Decentralization of Authority in the U. S. Veterans' Bureau Recently considerable publicity has been given to the statement that final decisions on the claims of disabled ex-service men were not made in the Distance Office of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau but had to be sent to the Central Office at Washington and that this procedure involved a good deal of anxiety and delay. This statement is misleading and is the cause of some misunderstanding. One of the outstanding policies of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, under the directorship of Col. C. R. Forbes, is the decentralization of its work and another. This results in a closer personal contact with each beneficiary of the Beaure in its dealings with them, and in reducing to a minimum the time necessary to settle their claims. The U. S. Veterans' Bureau, which was created less than a year and a half ago to take over the duties of three separate Government Bureaus, by eliminating duplication of work and division of authority has been able to render more prompt and efficient service to the disabled soldiers than was formerly the case The Bureaus which were consolidated to form the U. S. Veterans' Bureau were the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, the Rehabilitation Division of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, and the Hospitalization Section of the U. S. Public Health Service. Fourteen District Offices and about 140 Sub-District Offices were located throughout the United States with numerous traveling agents and Field workers so that no exservice man would have far to go to get in contact with an official of the Bureau. The States of Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana constitute District Ten. C. D. Hibbard, District Manager, has offices in the Keith-Plaize Blvd., Minneapolis. There are Sub-District Offices at Fargo, St. Paul, Sloux Falls, and Helena. Claims may be filed with any of these offices There is attached to the District Office a staff of Medical Officers and Claims Examiners, an Auditor and a Disbursing Officer. Through these, a man's claim, if supported by sufficient evidence, can be rated, examined, allowed, and his initial compensation check issued to him with the minimum of delay. Cases have been adjusted in a single day, though this is exceptional. It is difficult to see how more prompt and localized service can be rendered under the present procedure. There are only four relatively small classes of cases that must be sent to the Washington Office for adjustment: (1) all claims of ex-mercenary men who are employees of the Veterans' Bureau; (2) the cases of men who are rated as total permanent disability; (3) death claims; (4) cases that have been disallowed in the District office which may go to the Central Office Board of Appeals for further consideration, upon the soldiers' own request. We hope to make it plain to our readers that the District Office in Minneapolis is authorized to make any award to the soldier that the case may justify up to and including temporary disability and its decision is final unless appealed to the Central Office. In the case of an award of temporary total disability by the District Office, that decision will continue until final action is taken by the Central Office Board of Appeals on the question of making the rating permanent and total.

PARENTS AID BOY SCOUTS One of the greatest tributes to the boy scout program of character building and citizenship training is the increasing interest of mothers and fathers in the work of their scout sons. Scouting is creating a bond of comradeship between thousands of sons and fathers who in increasing numbers are spending weekends together at scout camps, relaxing in the out of doors, skating, skiing, hiking and sliding together. Father and son hikes, banquets and get-togethers are held in practically every community. Contests between "lads and dads" create splendid rivalry and make dad want to get out with son in the open more and more. One highhearted father who, as an incentive to his own boy, joined the ranks of the tenderfoot scouts recently with his son reached the very top of the ladder together—Eagle rank. And mother! You may be sure she is very proud of son's manliness, his scout bearing, his practice of the scouts' daily good turn, of being ready at all times to help others, his courtesy to the old, the weak, the sick, his deference to those older than himself, his growing strength from his outdoors life. These things with their ultimate bearing on character building, mothers are keen to appreciate. To further the work, scouts mothers' clubs, committees, and associations are being constantly formed. Mother and son hikes and even mothers' week at camp are evidence that the scout son knows "the best pal of all" is right behind him in his advance in scoutcraft. Scouting does not supplant the home training. It supplements it and fortifies it. Scouting's best supporters are the mothers and fathers who from daily observation see with gratification sons who are living every inch as scouts. "A SCOUT IS THRIFTY" Boy scouts honored Benjamin as an exponent of thrift, as well as a great patriot, on the occasion of Franklin's two hundred and seventeenth birthday, when, in common with 40 other national, educational and civic societies, the scouts laid a tribute of flowers at the great statesman's statue in New York city, Scout Adalphe Schmidt, a member of Troop 2, Brooklyn, N. V., at the ceremony impersonated Franklin at the age of seventeen, arriving at Philadelphia.

Webster, Mgr. St. Paul BULL CHASES LLOYD GEORGE British Notables Have Real! Exciting Experience on Gibraltar Ranch. Gibraltar—David Lloyd George and his family, with Lord Birkenhead and other notables, witnessed a display of fighting bulls at the Algeciras ranch of the Gallardo brothers. The entertainment was not an actual bull fight, but it had a rather sensational ending. A hard of young bulls bred for the ring was turned loose on a broad plain. The animals were baited with capes by men mounted and afoot, and while the action was at its height, one bull escaped. He charged the spectators and a general stampede followed. Every one succeeded in reaching the line of automobiles bordering the field, and the bull was made captive. Mr. Lloyd George was later photographed in the midst of a group of Spanish beauties, who wore their national costumes. GIVES GEMS TO FEED HUNGRY Donations by Bavaria's Old Aristocracy Raises 8,000,000 Marks for Poor of Munich. Munich.—Eight million marks have been realized at an auction here of jewels and gold and silver articles which Prince and Princess Konrad assembled for the benefit of Munich's needy. Many of the contributions were heirlooms and other family treasures. Members of Bavaria's old aristocracy were liberal in opening up their hearts and coffers. Prince Konrad and his wife themselves donated articles which sold for 800,000 marks. A bouquet of diamonds and pearls set in gold, contributed by Princess Lelningen, brought 2,600,000 marks, the highest bid of the auction. A piece of jewelry from one of ex-King Ludwig's daughters went for 280,000 marks. Princess Ludwig Ferdinand and Princess Pilar were represented by 180,000 marks' worth of donations.
