Dyer of Missouri who was sponsor for the Dyer antilynching bill in the last congress, will reintroduce the measure at the next session, according to a letter from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mr. Dyer so informed James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., during the latter's visit to Washington, on March 19, where he spoke together with Mr. Dyer at a mass meeting of the National Association Branch, N. A. A. C. P. In the course of his address, Mr. Dyer said: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has done great work in acquainting the people of this country with their needs, and would have caused not only by the members of the Association and their officers, but by the pastors of the colored churches of the nation. The people of the colored race should pass the word on to their representatives in the national capital to urge them to stronger foundation may be had when this subject comes up again." To Revise Rules Present plans are to have the Dyer anti-lynching bill introduced simultaneously in the Senate and the House of Representatives. According to Representative Dyer the prospect is excellent for the passage of a second time in the House of Repreprints and it is hoped that steps will be taken in the Senate to revise the rules of the Senate in a way to make such a filibuster as was carried on by the Southern Democrats impossible. In announcing the new campaign in behalf of the Dyer bill, Wesley Weldon Johnson secures the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Ask Co-operation. "The N. A. A. C. P. has told colored Americans that the Dyer anti-lynch bill was not a dead issue. In fact, it is more alive than ever. Since the Dyer became a law, the bill it has spread broadcast. Public sentiment has been crystallizing about it, and the conviction has gained ground, among white as well as among colored people that this measure ought to be enacted. The bill it has spread is comparable only to the intense interest in the slavery issue which was not allowed to rest until it was settled and was settled right. The lynching issue must be settled and settled the bill has met, it will continue to be agitated. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will again keep in close touch with the situation in Washington, will inform colored Americans of the status of the bill, and will devote its most strenuous effort to carrying the fight to a successful conclusion. In the fight we want the man and woman in the United States, and of every organization, religious, secular and fraternal. This is a fight for American civilization as well as for the colored people." EXPOSE LOUISIANA JUDGES AS KLUXERS Baton Rouge, IA, March 30.—Gorner Parker declared today he would not consider the appointment of either District Judge Robert Roberts of Minden or District Judge J. E. Reynolds of Arcadia to the vacancy on the Louisiana Court of Appeals, because they believed they would not appoint the Klu Klan. He reminded delegations of their supporters who called on him that he had made a public declaration that he would not appoint a member of the Klan to office, and he said this applied especially to Judges. A lawyer knows the majesty of the "lord," said the Governor "and a Judge on the bench must enforce it. I certainly will not name a man who has taken the Klan oath as Judge to enforce the laws of the state." The Governor was said to have produced the membership list of the Minden klan and to have read the name of Judge Roberts as a klan. Governor Parker then asked Mr. Reynolds if he had joined the Shreveport klan and it is said he admitted he had. Courtesy Jury Mates Out Swift Justice. A colored murderer in Hazard Kentucky, asked for an all-colored jury to present his case. He not his wish, and the first all-colored jury in the State convicted him in eleven minutes and he was sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty-one years. Hand Bags, Golf Balls On House StationeryBill Washington, March 30.—The workers of this country are given another cause for speculation as to the why and wherefore of the high cost of governmental operation. The annual report to the clerk of the House of Congress shows, in various articles, such as flasks, unbreakable pint bottle, ladies' bags, manicure sets and golf balls bought for the House stationery room where congressmen obtain their office supplies. Curious persons are led to wonder as to the office demands of congressmen. In the exercise of congressional duties, some of the representatives developed strange needs. The clerks' report shows that 319 pocket knives were bought and some twelve dozen golf balls. Congressmen are allowed a stipulated sum annually for "stationary" purposes. Many of the congressmen who couldn't use up all this money on stationery and its accessories had the clerk buy them safety razors, cigar and cigarette cases, golf balls, etc. Because of this alleged abuse of the clerk, they voked that henceforth the practice was to stop. But the most recent annual report shows that, if anything, the rule was more freely violated than ever. No less than five sewing sets were bought by the clerk, and despite the rule, women members of congress during the last session, 65 ladies' bags were bought out of the stationery fund. TURK ENVOY HERE CRITICISES U. S. TURK ENVOY HERE CRITICISES U. S. Rechad Rey Says Government Uses Protection of Christians As Excuse to Interfere (Crusader Service) Washington, Mar. 30.—Rechad Rey, who during the past twelve months has been "diplomatic agent" of the Angora government in London and has been appointed to represent turkey in the United States guilty of outspoken critic of the pharaohal hypocrisy of this country. In a statement given to the British press last November he declared that the American administration, in taking exception to the Christian minority in Asia Minor, was guilty of "lamentable ignorance," that its views were "based on the wildest and most unreliable of evidence," "were born of hate, were characterized by insult and insultation," and that the government at Washington had become "an instrument of foreign intrigue, and had endeavored to use the protection of the Christian minorities in Asia Minor as a pretext for intervening in the domestic affairs of which is jealous of its sovereign rights." The incident recalls the case of Rustem Pacha, another Turkish diplomat, who, toward the close of 1914, was compelled to take his departure from Turkey to view views he published, in which he declared that the Christian minorities in Turkey were better treated than the colored population in the United States and in the Philippines under German rule, and to the White House for an explanation he adhered to his statements, and gave President Wilson to understand that he would well to do away with the "water cures" in the Philippines and the "horrible yachings and massacres" in the United States" before offering advice to Turkey or presuming to interfere there. KLAN BOASTS 1,200 IN BOROUGH OF QUEENS NeW York, March 30.—The claim was made yesterday that the Ku Klux Klan has 1,200 members in Long Island City. The Hunter's Point Community. Council adopted resolutions denouncing the Klan a week ago, and a local newspaper quoted John Sulivan its president, as having characterized the klan's activities as un-American and against the Constitution, a letter signed the reservation day a letter signed "One of the K.K.K." which read in part as follows: "Well, we are in Long Island City and won't get out for J. Silulian. We will be there," he said, and are doing things in Long Island City for the benefit of the people. "We have gained over 1,200 members in the vicinity of Long Island City, and we are doing things in mind; you are in America, not in Ireland." Poetic Genius Recognized. The ability of the colored American to produce poetry of a high order, first conspicuously revealed in the work of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, was recognized by the Poetry Society of America in the invitation extended to James Weldon Johnson, to address the Society at its recent meeting in New York. He wrote, "Creation," which is considered one of the most artistic and original of contemporary poetic productions. THE APPEAL. EASON SLAYERS GUILTY New Orleans, March 30.—A verdict of manslaughter was found by a jury yesterday in the case of William Shakespeare and Constantine Dyer, two followers of Marcus Garvey who were tried for killing the Rev. J. W. H. Eason, an opponent of Garvey and one of the principal witnesses who were to have testified against Garvey in the Federal case charging him with fraudulent use of the mails. Dr. Eason was fatally wounded following a church meeting January 1, at which he spoke against Marcus Garvey. Eason was formerly a supporter of Garvey but following federal indictment of Garvey on the charge of fraudulent use of the United States mails, left the Garvey organization and publicly condemned Garvey as an embezzler of funds of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of which the latter is head. PULLMAN PORTER UNREST SPREADS Plans for Permanent Organization Made As Complaints of Treatment Flood in Chicago, March 30. Inquiries regarding a permanent organization and reports of recent changes of Pullman porters throughout the country are coming in here daily as a result of the recent press reports that porters are planning an organized move for better working conditions. Indications are that the unrest is widespread. Secret meetings have been held in Chicago, Louis and Buffalo, the chief railway junction points of the Middle West. Many Grievances The Pullman Porters, who are recognized by the traveling public as an indispensable adjunct to railway service, cite a long list of grievances against their employers, chief among which are long hours and low pay. Only a few years ago the average Pulmanporter's salary was $27.00 per month. It now averages only about $60.00, or $15.00 per week. The lowest wage of unskilled laborers who work railroads is seldom less than $5.00 per week. They are peremptorily discharged without notice upon the slightest caprice of other members of the crew or complaints of passengers, although upon application for employment they are required to furnish a history of trees for five years prior to application. Although not in charge of the cars on which they work, the Pulman porters are held absolutely responsible for all Pulman equipment on the car, and for passengers' losses. In short, according to several veteran porters, who are prime movers the threatened revolt, all that a Pulmanporter has years of faithful service, is a set of stripes on his coat sleeve and imminent danger of arbitrary discharge. Quietus on Complaints. It is pointed out that the Pullman company has been on the alert to prevent any concerted effort against prevailing conditions. Several organizations which have been created to improve working conditions among workers have been quickly taken over and subsidized by the Pullman company, it is declared. Porters have been taken from their runs and placed in high salaried position for the purpose of placating the ignorant masses, they say. WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS ROUSES COLORED DEPUTY (Crusader Service) Paris, March 24—Gratier Candace, a color member of the Chamber of Deputies in Paris, has written Premier Poincare announcing is intention to question the Premier in the Chamber concerning the withdrawal from the Ruhr of 200 colored soldiers coming from Martinique and Guadeloupe. Poincare, published regarding the withdrawal, permit the inference that it was in consequence of "the abominable German campaign against troops of color, notwithstanding straightforward and unexceptional actions," from American such as Major Gen. Hert T, Allen and Col. Coleman, after a searching investigation." The letter concludes by saying that at a moment when France is about to ask her colonies to furnish one-third of their military effect, ought to strengthen the bond written overseas possessions by "restoring the dissolvent action of all foreign propaganda." Rev. E. A. Jordan Created Stir in January When He Received Klan Emissary MAY LECTURE FOR KLUXERS Has Addressed K. K. K. Meetings Several Times; Stand Praised by Klan Resentment of his officers and congregation at his friendliness toward and activity in behalf of the Ku Klux Klan is believed to be the reason for the resignation of Rev. E. A. Jordan as pastor of the First Christian church, Nelson and Farrington avenues. It was announced Wednesday that the congregation had accepted the resignation and that the church board had ratified it. Rev. Mr. Johnson has announced he will remain in St. Paul and continue his lectures and his writings. Announcement that he will continue lecture work is believed to be an indication that he will devote much of his time to lecturing in favor of the Ku Klux Klan. Addressed Klan He already has addressed the klan on various occasions. He spoke at a meeting of the organization in the PFW office, and he was revoked. Rev. Mr. Jordan became well known in St. Paul when, early in January, a letter from the klan was presented to him during a Sunday morning service by a man who came down the aisle and met him in the middle of the sermon. The letter, which complimented the pastor for his treatment of the klan, was read for the congregation at the service. He said the "inclosed token" showed the esteem of the organization for him. Was Unmasked. The klan emissary was not masked. Members of the church said they had not seen him before. Many in the congregation at the time said they believed about 25 strangers at the services were members of the klan assembled to witness the presentation of the Rev. Mr. Jordan came to St. Paul from Metropolis, Ill., and has been pastor of the church, which is at Nelson and Farrington aves., since October, 1921. Rehabilitated Veteran Gets Government Position Ray H. Johnson, 4529 Lyndale avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota, is another example of the way veterans rehabilitation by the U. S. Veterans' Bureau are held. He recounted the civil service examination and has received an appointment with the Bureau of Internal Revenue at Washington at an initial salary of $2,200 per annum, which is double his average pre-war earnings. After two years, becoming a sergeant in the Headquarters Company of the 168th Infantry. He was gassed and also received a shrapnel wound in his left leg. His present disability is myocarditis and chronic nephritis resulting from a heart attack. Before the war he had worked in a garage and in a lumber yard, but his disabilities rendered a return to those employments impossible. He was accordingly awarded a course vocational from the Veterans' Bureau to overcome his handicap. Being a high school graduate he was given a course in one of the best business colleges in Minneapolis, leading to the employment objectives of auditor and accountant. This was supplemented by practical training in a bank at Hector, Minnesota, and with a firm of accountants in Minneapolis. When the Veterans' Bureau declared him rehabilitation, he was well prepared to carry on in an occupation which injuries would not be a handicap. One who knows him well says, "Mr Johnson deserves credit for the rapid erudes he has made in the accounting field. He has trained the training record, and is highly recommended by the concerns with whom he has been. He accepted a Government contract in 1994, and openings that were available to him with Minneapolis accounting concerns. (Grusader Service) Kingston, Jamaica, Mar. 30—Lord Burham, editor of the London Telegraph, who visiting here as an observer, has been asked to satisfaction with prevailing political and economic condition from representative public here. J. A. G. Smith, Simpson, Young and G. colored men, assured Lord Burham that they are matterly opposed to the island handled over to the United States and they are anxious to see fewer South African officials with colored prejudice sent here. Graduated From "U" Farm School Miss Beulah Stephens. Miss Beulah Stephens, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Stephens, 1031 Park avenue, was a member of the class of 93 which was graduated from the University Farm School last Wednesday afternoon. Miss Stephens finished courses in various phases of homekeeping. URGE ANTI-KLAN BILL IN NEW YORK Herbert Seligman Tells Legisla ture Klan Should Publish Membership List Albany, March 30.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was represented here today at hearings before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, its representative, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Walker bill which is designed to compel membership corporations and particularly the Ku Klux Klan to file lists of their members with the Secretary of State. The Advancement Association was represented by its representatives, Herbert J. Seligmann, who said: "Secretcy is usually invoked by burglaries, murderers, pickpockets and others of their class when they go about their business. You do not have on a mask to preach tolerance, love of your fellow man and good citizenship. "We have the testimony of a former officer of the Ku Klux Klan, delivered before the congressional committee investigating the klan, that the klan is waging an effort to intention to gain control of New York. It is because the secrecy in which this organization works produces crime, hatred, distrust and conditions bordering on civil warfare, that the klan is waging an enactment of the Walker bill which tears the mask from the face of its members." U. N. I. L. A. SPIRIT DEAD / IN BRITISH GUIANA Georgetown, Br. G., March—The Rev. Dr. Tobbitt, an official of the U. N. I. A. of New York, arrived in this colony recently and after a short stay proceeded to Surinam, Dutch Guiana. There are two branches of the U. N. I. A. here, but due to frequent financial disturbances and the loss of confidence generally in the New York office, the general spirit is one of rapid alienation, being rapidly alienated. High salaries paid to officials are said to be one of the principal causes of dissatisfaction. NAVY PROMISES INQUIRY IN VIRGIN ISLANDS New York, March 30—Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the Navy, has written to the National Association for the Protection of孕童 by promising investigation of complaints that free speech is being denied the natives of the Virgin Islands. Complaint had been forwarded to M. Weldon in a letter written by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the association. 50 TEXAS SOLONS AT MEETING OF KLAN Russell Service Austin, Texas, 78703 More than fifty members of the House of Representatives are reported to have attended a special meeting of the local Ku-klux Klan here last night.

DATE AND PLACE TO BE SET IN NEAR FUTURE (Crusader Service.) New York, March 24.—In complete unanimity in the opinion, based upon actual experience in the field, that enmity toward Americans of African descent is on the increase rather than otherwise, the Conference of Civil Rights organizations held in this city on March 23 and 24 has issued a call for an all-race conference to be held some time before April 1, 1924. A detailed call specifying time and place, agenda and representation will be issued later by the committee and arrangements which is for the present composed of Dean Miller, William Monroe Trotter, James L. Neil, James Weldon Johnson, Robert W. Bagnall, Dr. D. N. E. Campbell, Rev. Jernigan, Richard B. Moore, Otto E. Husiwoud, with Dr. Shaw and Mr. Briggs as ex-officio members in their capacity of president and secretary, respectively, of the conference which, before its adjournment, voted to go into permanent being and elected another permanent officer, Mr. James Weldon Johnson, as treasurer. SIGN CONCORDAT AT CONFERENCE Document of Harmony Drawn Up Signed by Leaders at N. Y. Meeting 'New York, March 24'-History was enacted here today. The preliminary united front conference called by Kelly Miller and the National Equal Rights Amendment proved successful beyond the oldest of the groups. A new epoch—an epoch of unity and strength—was ushered in for the sorely oppressed colored American as the six leading champions of his civil and manhood rights, through their own representatives, signed a concordat this afternoon calling for the "closest co-operation and the most harmonious relationship" among organizations which, no matter with what differences, neither of opinion methods, are nevertheless "all striving for one great common goal." "We are the only group without an effective voice in the government. Why shouldn't we have a Negro as president? We are the only group of any of the other governing bodies? "Now if the Catholics and the Jews have sufficient brains and interests to justify themselves in forming organizations to protect their interests, it is not only that they should so do. We have unlimited potential political power. We have all the political rights that any other American citizen has, only we haven't developed the same power." We was followed by Mr. Richard B. Moore who made the following points: "There is this happy thought: that this is a time of reconstruction. It seems to me that all the oppressed groups of the earth have made their start towards liberation. The Indians started of the age gregio gandhi Movement. Korea is fighting for independence. Russia through her great leaders has thrown down a challenge to the oppressive system which rules the world today. In Egypt the Zaghoulists are fighting brutal British oppression. In India there is this unrest, and if the Negro does not better himself, recognize the signs of the time now while changes are being made, his will be a terrible situation." While a number of electrifying addresses were made, the speakers were brief and to the point. Mr. Briggs made a request, address by an anonymous request, following an outline by the chairman of the invitations sent out and the purpose of the conference. Mr. Briggs declared that it was "a far cry from August, 1921, the time of the second Garvey convention, when B. B. were expelled from that convention for daring to broach the question of a united front, to this conference." The plan which the A. B.

Nine Fields Represented It is proposed to have representation at the all-race conference from the following phases of Negro life; it will be apportioned by the committee of arrangements on the basis of an equal number of delegates from each section: Religious organizations, fraternal organizations, civil rights organizations, social organizations, educational organizations, organized press, labor organizations, business and professional organizations. The task of working out an agenda, basis of representation and preparing a detailed call will naturally take some time, and before the job is completed many experts on the various subjects to be dealt with will have to be co-opted to the present committee of arrangements. In the meantime, however, the six organizations composing the conference and issuing the call, express the hope that the colored press will give this call the widest circulation and that all colored organizations and bodies will begin at once to move in the direction of the race conference. It is the hope of the conference that liamentary rules and the regular red tape will be suspected in this case and that immediate action will be taken on a question so vital and important to the well-being of the masses as the calling of this all-race conference with the view of realizing and not defeat the ever-increasing onslaughts of the enemy. The call follows: "The world today has come to a critical period of its existence. Our race likewise has reached a crucial situation. The promises of amelioration the citizenship to easily made during the citizenship of great World War have failed of fulfillment. In this time of readjustment there is growing a very menacing spirit of animosity against the race and a determination to thrust the Negro down into the most servile circumstances and to maintain him there forever. "Now while world readjustment is in progress and when every other oppressed group is exerting itself to the utmost to gain its rights and liberties, the Negro race must best itriment and emerge with best thought and energy with the willstaff of slaughtered made against it and secure its due and rightful status: equal manhood rights and opportunities in every department of life. The race must be stimulated to utilize all available opportunities for constructive development and harmonious working relationships with the white race. Conference Need Urgent. "The need is urgent, nay, imperative, then, for the assembling of a national all-race conference to consider the present position of the race, ferreer out and unmask the hostile force harassed or lit, to take a plan of defence and protection, to discover the forces, agencies and organizations which may be utilized in that defence, to effect a united front of the race, and to devise ways to secure or for full and complete emancipation. The attention of the conference must be focused upon the following: Race prejudice, legal discriminations, economic exploitation, racial self-respect, religions, awakening, education within the race and between the races, political action, industrial betterment; such evils as lynching, Ku Kluxkum, segregation, disfranchisement, unequal enforcement of law, peace. A detailed call specifying time and place will be issued later by the committee of arrangements. Every colored organization should begin now to move in this direction, and the attention and energy of the race centered on the race will be maintained (Continued on second page). The Call.

THE WRONG GOSPEL It is generally accepted at this late day that the churches have a definite social mission to perform. Modern church plants have many other rooms besides the church auditorium in order to adequately do community service. It is particularly the province of colored ministers to be community leaders. They should be mindful of the general welfare of their people; they should be interested in more than attendance at the weekly prayer meeting and especially should they be interested and active in bringing about better relations between the races and in smootning the path for race progress. Obviously then, ministers who come north to cities where little if any dis- crimination is practised—where thou- sands of white peupie ask for the privilege of aiding their colored fel- low citizens—should not use their positions of leadership to preach hate and distrust of white citizens and urge their colored congregations not to co-operate in joint efforts at civic and religious betterment. ‘These kind of sermons are being preached in St, Paul, The minister is so used to staying off in the corner where the southern white folk put him, is so deluded with the idea that black people are self-sufficient that he advocates, off here in Minnesota, the policy of aloofness, distrust and hate. He is so foolish as to. believe that the white man cannot teach him anything and that any black man-ean do anything that any white man can do, simply because he is a black man. This is the wrong gospel. It is one more reason why the mass of colored people refuse to follow leaders. It is a reason why potential white friends grow first puzzled, then indifferent and finally antagonistic. The spee- tacle of a minister’ who makes a grammatical error in every 100 spok- en words affirming grandiloquently that white men cannot teach “us” anything and that “we” should stay to ourselves and enjoy “our own” is too ridiculous for polite words. Race pride is pardonable and wholly de- sirable, but in order for it to. be real race pride and not vain puffing and boasting it must be based on achieve- ment. If our minister-leader must utter anything outside the strict province of the Holy Scriptures let him advise his people to co-operate with and learn of the white man to the end that mutual progress may be made. This involves no sacrifice of “rights” or “pride,” it simply calls for the exer- cise of commen sense. Any other social gospel in St. Paul is the wrong gospel and should be run out of town te-tias ‘enloved Gilamas A SPIRITED GOVERNOR (The Nation) It is not often that in the South men are convicted of lynching and then kept in jail afterward. There was a governor of Alabama who ance permitted the sentencing of a half dozen men to the chain-gang because they had made lynching a sport un- til mere hanging became too tame, when they indulged in the burning of a half-witted Negro boy whose al- leged victim denied that he had done her any harm. That, said the sheriff ‘at Wetumpka, was going too far. So these gentle playboys“ were arrested and, amid the plaudits of the North- ern press, were sent to the chain-gang for a long time. Unfortunately, the governor son came up for re-election; his frinds advised him he could not win again if it were said of him that he kept white men in the road-gang merely for having indulged in the pastime of burning @ “nigger.” The men were promptly pardoned. The present governor of Virginia is made ‘of better and sterner stuff. He has just refused to pardon a certain A.

THE APPEAL’S PLATFORM ‘Reprinted from THE APPEAL September 15, 1903.) : binant Ee cata 1. THE APPEAL resents the claim so persistently made by many Caucasians that this is a “white ‘man’s country.” The colored people are citizens by xight and birth and the Federal Constitution specifically places all citizens on equality before the law. - 2, THE APPEAL believes that the idea advanced by certaip persons that the Caucasian race has been es- pecially commissioned by God to rule all of the colored races is blasphemy. 8. THE APPEAL firmly believes that in a republic there can be but ‘one kind of citizen, hence challenges the right of the government—tfed- eral, state or local—to discriminate in any way between citizens by the enactment of any law which speci- fies that the colored people must be separated from or treated differently from the great body of citizens. THE APPEAL is opposed to class legislation of every kind. 4. THE APPEAL believes in man- hood. suffrage without; any educa- tional or’ property qualifications whatever, and contend that the law- abiding man of good character, who ‘does his duty as a citizen and risks his life in defense of the flag, should not be deprived of the ballot because THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wileox. —. he is poor and carinot read and write Disfranchisement works irresistibly for the denial or abridgement of al the related rights of citizenship, be cause a voteless man has no right which any one is bound to respect. 5. THE APPEAL believes tha the schools supported by public tax ation should be open to all regardles: of race, color or creed and that ever} parent should determine the kind o! education he wishes his children t receive. _ 6. THE APPEAL believes that the statement that the Southern Cau. casians pay the taxes necessary t educate the Southern colored people is an economic absurdity. That eact man in his place pays as much tax as any other man in the community is an economic truism which ha: never been disputed by any reputable sociologist or political economist from Adam Smith down to the pres. ent time. ' 7, THE APPEAL knows that the colored people have beon misrepre- sented in the matter of crime, Ene mies have endeavored to prove that colored people are a criminal people ‘out their statements have been dis proved by statistics. Caucasian. ‘Americans commit more and base crimes tha colored people. 8 THE APPEAL is opposed tc mob law and believes that mob Ii cense is more dangerous to the well being and perpetuity of society thar the isolated infractions of the law bj individuals. 9. THE APPEAL does not believe that the Southern Caucasians are the best friends of the race. The South ern Caucasian idea of friendship is the relation of superior and inferior In many cases the colored persor who gains the “friendship” of Southern Caucasian does so at the expense of his manhood. THE AP. PEAL is not willing for the settle ment of the race question to be left to the unjust, un-American, unchris tian South for settlement. 10. THE APPEAL refuses to con- sider any proposition that the colorec man relinguish any of the political ox civil rights now possessed by~ the race.” Every effort should be mad to retain those which exist and te regain those which have been lost. THE APPEAL reaffirms its unal- terable determination to continue tc battle for the right to the end and come what may, THE APPEAL wil never give up the contention for jus- tice and the absolute equality of al citisens under the law.

MAKE SURVEY OF AGRICULTURE Virgin Soll of Nation Has at Length Worn Out and Fertility Must Be Added—Hired Men Get Better Pay, Washington.—The enigma of why Ameriean farming cannot survive un- der present conditions, although the prices of foodstuffs are higher than they were in any prewar year, is not the only topic dealt with in the re- Port of the joint commission which investigated the agricultural crisis. The report itself constitutes a broad survey of farming as it is at present conducted and as such it makes clear what a change has come over the business of food produetion during the last 20 years, One prime characteristic of farming today is its increased and increasing use of fertilizer. ‘The virgin soll of the nation that once produced a heavy serles of crops year after year and seemed inexhaustible in its richness has at length worn out, Not even manures and the rotation of crops can sustain its productivity. Fertility has to be added-and it must be added In the form of commercial fertilizers. At the beginning of the present cen- tury the farmers of America, and principally those. of the older states east of the Mississippl, were buying commercial fertilizers at the rate of about $54,000,000 in value each year. In 1919 they spent nearly $330,000,000, ‘Bwenty years ago not $4,000,000 a year was spent for fertilizers by: tarm- ers west of the Mississippt river; in 1919 the farmers of that region spent approximately $27,000,000. The Pa- eifie states are using nine times as much fertilizer now as they did then. These figures are evidence of the ex- haustion of the soll. Hired Men Get Better Pay, ‘The hired man on the farm gets bet- ter pay than he used to. His wages now, figuring in his board as part of his pay, are about three and one-half times what they were in 1898. It 1s costing farmers today nearly four tlmes as much to feed their live stock as {t did-only ten years ago. In ten years the farms of the na- tion have nearly doubled in value, due to the increasing cost of land. |The average farm in 1910 was valued at $5,471. The present value of the av- erage farm is $10,5%, while the total present farm value 1s close to $68,000, 000,000. This fepresents”an increase of about $82,000,000,000. On this in- creased value interest must ‘be°pald, and the greater difficulty of making the farm pay as an investment fs one of the things which {s embarrassing our farming. Although in 20 years there has been ‘a great Increase in the use of farm ma- chinery, the crop statistics do not in- dicate that machinery 1s increasing production. It is permitting fewer men to operate the farms, but it Is not sending the farm output ahead of the increase in population. Yet, as farm labor grows harder and harder to get, the tendency 1s toward a greater use of machinery. This ts another tndl- cation which points to higher food Farm Implements Cost More. Farm machinery and tools have greatly increased in price. So has lumber. Today one farm -in every twenty-eight owns at least one trac- tor; two out of every hundred main- tain motortrucks; while the automo- bile has now become so prevalent that practically one farm of every three has one. The great wheat and corn states of the upper and middle Missis- sippi valley are the chief users of trac- tors, Here there is a tractor for every nine farms. While machinery has not increased the output of crops per acre, it has increased crop ontput per unit of Ia- dor. ‘The physical conditions of living on farms are growing better. ‘The great number of automobiles in use—nearly 2,000,000 cars on the farms in 1920— ts an indication of this. ‘There are ‘about 140,000 motortrucks and 250,000 tractors in use. ‘Telephones are now installed tn more-than 2,500,000. Amer- fean farmhouses, or in almost 40 per cent of them. Nearly 50,000 Ameri- can farm homes have thelr own we- ter and sewerage systems. About 450,- 000: of them are lighted by gas or elec- trletty. Sclence, while it has done much, ‘has not yet rescued the farmer from the business hazards of weather, de structive insect -pests, or plant and animal diseases. ‘The commission be Weves much more can b& done to ren- der farming less exposed to these risks. ~ Hand in hand with: the ‘Increase in the valne of the farm lands has gone an increase in the total mortgage on those “lands. ‘The lends themselves have nearly doubled in value, but the mortgage has considerably more than doubled. It is estimated that the pres- ‘ent total mortgage debt on American farms 15 $8,063,000,000, as against approximately $3,600,000,000-n. 1910.

University Ave, Cor. = Mackubia, 2 p 4 Bill If Laws Increase Railroad Costs - _ Prices of nearly all necessaries of life are too high. The average freight rate for the whole country, which is the lowest in the world, is now 46 per cent higher than the average rate during the ten-year ” period beginning with 1900. In November, 1922, the average in- crease of the wholesale prices of all commodities, as compared with the same period was 79 per cent. Railroad rates can be reduced in only one way—by reducing the cost of hauling freight and passen- gers. When a lawmaker says he wants lower freight rates and then proposes laws that will make it cost more to haul freight, that man ‘ is not sincere or he has not thought out the question fully. The railroads have only one source of revenue, viz., from freight and passenger earnings. If their expenses are increased they must have more income to meet the larger expenses, and.they can get this in- come only by charging higher rates. Some people are for Government operation of the railroads. ‘Twenty-six months of it in this country proved it is expensive and does not give good service. Other countries have had the same expi® rience; Italy owns its railroads, but it costs so much to operate them that great efforts are being made to turn them over to private oper- ation. The shipper will suffer again if Government operation returns in the United States. Only two classes are openly and frankly for it—politicians who use it for campaign talk,-and labor leaders who . believe’ it will make more jobs. Both of these favor it to further their own ends. The lawmaker cannot add to the expenses of the yailroad by forcing it to make unnécessary expenditures without hurting the shipper who has to pay the bill in the end. Low rates and good service both are needed; poor bankrupt railroads cannot give either one. How the shipper is served by this type of politician is illustrated by the fable of * The Farmer and the New Hired Man A farmer-had an old horse that for many years had hauled his farm products to market, arid being well fed had strength to haul a big load every day. Finally there came hard times for the farmer. He had good crops, but the prices he received for his crops had not gone up so much as the prices he had to pay for his clothes, his shoes, his fuel, his groceries, and his hired help. He did not know what to do. A friend told him his troubles were because his horse ate-so much of his grain and hay. The old horse in fact did not eat any more than was necessary to keep him well and strong, but the farmer turned him over to a new hired man who had radical the- ‘ories about the treatment of horses. He beat the old horse almost, to death, hung heavy weights on his harness, set the dogs on him, offered him food and took it away before le could eat it. Then, to make the old horse easier to handle, the new hired man hobbled him so he could’ hardly move and beat him more than ever bécause - he did not go faster. When the new hired man told the farmer what ‘he was doing, he was full of glee at the great joke on the old horse. At last. when the old horse had been made weak and lame the hired man said to the farmer:. “Your old horse is so sick and _. broken. down he -will never be able to haul your stuff unless you get Uncle Sam to take him and hire some more men to help doctor him-up and drive him,” The farmer remembered that once when Uncle Sam had managed the old horse it cost a great deal more than. ever before to do his hauling, so he decided to change hired _-Men and see that the old-horse had-decent treatment, but he was UP AGAINST IT to get his hauling done while his old horse was getting strong again gh .

In its brief ‘history 2,000,000 American boys have been influenced by Its program of character ‘building and citizenship training, and have promised to follow the scout oath which is as follows: “On my honor I will do my best: “1, ‘To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout law; “2, To help other people at all times; “8, To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” ‘The present membership of boys and leaders is over one-half a million. ‘The boy scout program in providing wholesome work and play for the boy in bis lelsure time, has proved a re markable aid in the prevention of ju- venile delinquency. ‘A large number of universities, col leges, normal schools and theological seminariés have placed tha study of scout leadership in thelr curricull Grade schools are becoming interested in placing the study of the program in thelr work in connection with cit! zenship training. ‘The boy scout movement stresses out-of-door life because {t believes that to be the most helpful type of citizen, a boy must become a strong and healthy man, Summer camping has been put on an organized basis, through the efforts of the movement. Last summer 200,000 boy scouts went into camp for two weeks or more. As an ald to the boy in keeping men- tally alert, the program offers merit badges for accomplishment in 61 va rlous subjects. Scouts through the merit badge system have wonderful opportunity to choose wisely and thoughtfully thelr future vocation. ‘The wholesome activity, splendid courage and skill shown by boy scouts have furnished literature for boys with high and noble themes. The move- ment also produces a magazine for boys that has set an excellent stand: ard in boy reading. ‘Many cities and towns have been reciplents of services from the boy scouts in such work as campaigns for safety first, clean-up, better health forest fire prevention, wild-life con: servation, bird protection, and similar important public interests. ‘This serv- co 19 « direct outcome of the training which emphasizes “citizenship through service.” Competent first ald has been given ‘by the scouts in countless individual cases, and tn connection with many public disasters, such as the 1918 in fiuenza epidemic, the Pueblo flood, the Knickerbocker theater tragedy. Six huadred and three gold medals have been awarded to boy scouts who have risked thelr lives to save others. ‘The scout slogan—“Do a Good Turn Dally’—has become famous through: out the country. With a half million scouts and leaders seeking daily for the opportunity to perform an act of Kindness, one readily realizes the tre mendous force for community welfare that Hes in the boy scout training. HELPS BOY “COME BACK” ‘The “come back” of a young” Hun- garian boy of a Middle-west town, brok- down in body from undernourish- ment and in soul by harsh treatment in his home, to 2 condition of usefulness and happiness, contains « fine tribute to the boy scouts, for the influence of the scout program and the boys’ own help, have been the main factors tn accomplishing this result. Early in the summer, Louls, who had left his ‘anhappy home was found by relief au- thorities living alone, in 2 dug-out in the side of a hill on the outskirts of the clty. ‘The boy scouts then adopt- ed him and taught him scoutcraft. Louls occupied the scout's cabin, keep- ing it neat and tidy and in perfect re palr. He has made ‘exceptional prog- ress, entering into the spirit of the or- ganization so thoroughly that he is considered one of the best members of the troop. SCOUTS RESCUE MINERS One of the best “good turns” during the past summer of scouts from In- diana, Pa., was. the part they played ina certain five hours’ hard work which resulted in the rescue of two miners shut off by a cavein in & ‘mall mine near the scout camp site. / scoUTS FIND LOST MAN Middleburg (Pa.) Troop 1 hunted lost man of feeble mind for two days and nights during hwavy electric storm. Located him on third day. _ ° BOY SCOUTS PROTECT TOWN. ‘When the town of Coshocton, Ohio, was recently in the grip of an epl- demic of a grave disease, local boy ‘scouts were prepared to ald thelr com- munity. The Rotary and Kiwanis clubs put out printed precautionary measures and the scouts co-operated ‘by delivezing one <spy of these warm ing*.und a personal message to each bume in the town. The population tr 12,000; the number of active troop+ is four; and the distribution was a complished in 54 minuten. z ———_—_—_ STEIN’S We.
