Mr.. Gilger came to Gleichen
In May, 1906, and bought 16O
acres of land from the G. P. l. G.
Co. and had them hire 100 acres
broken up at once.
Last spring he leased it to Mr..
P. j. Umbrite who planted il
with wheat and agreed to furnish
one third the crop to Mr.. Gilger
as rental for the land. The
breaking cost him about $500 and
the fencing about 5000, which is
all the expense Mr.. Gi'ger has
been to on the land aside from
his payment on the land. From
present indications the crop will
make fully forty bushels per acre
and the indications are that it will
be worth at least 81 per bushel,
which will make Mr.. Gilger's
share worth about 1885 or
enough to pay for the breaking
and fencing and the second pay
ment on the land. Mr.. Gilger IS
not slow to see good thing and
selected another 100 acres Of land
similar to what he had previously
bought and Mr.. Conner did like
wise, and Mr.. Wilburn and Mr..
Holiday promised to return in a
short time prepared to follow suit.
Mr.. Gregg had visited this To-
cality last April during our very
Indictment weather and invested
in an S0.acre tract in the Stop.
part district and after viewing our
crops returned to the Stoppart dis
trict with Mr.. Trego to select an
other tract Of land, and is seriously
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of dis
posing Of his holdings in the
States, and investing heavily in
irrigated lands here.
Mr.. Barrows was looking our
country over for other people as
well as for himself and left here
the praise OF the Gleichen
district in no ordinary manner.
Every experienced farmer who
visits onr country leaves walk
ing advertisement for us.
What we should all work for is
to get every available foot of land
under cultivation at the earliest
possible date and test our land
thoroughly for the culture of
sugar oeets so that when the time
is ripe for the location of a sugar
beet factory in the irrigated dis
trict, that Gleichen will be in a
position to show that we are en-.
titled to the location of the plant
which will certainly be located
where the most beets can be
raised within hauling distance of
the factory, and there is no good
reason why Gleichen can not be
prepared to supply the beets if we
all work to that end.

A Kansas Visitor Talks.

w -
+ from Salina, Kansas, who was
here last week to attend the open
ing of lands to settlement on
Powell Flat, when interviewed by
The Republican writer, gave his
views on several matters that will
interest people here. When asked
what he thot of the Powell Pro-
ject, he SAID:
81 came here in company with
John Anderson and b. A. Mason,
of Salina, and we expected to
find a PROJECT we could put
our money into, and realize some
substantial returns on our invest
ments in a couple of years. After
looking it over very carefully, |
decided that this was uncertain.
1t is such a great undertaking to
build the system, it is bound to
take more time than | supposed it
would before got on the ground.
| heard great many criticisms OF
the project and the management
and these things made me hest
tate about investing. | had with
me power,of-a ttorney rights which

scienciously put other mems
money into it under present show
ings. | took piece OF land for
myself and so did Anderson and
Mason, and | am coming back in
the spring with my family to live
on it, but | could not decide all
;. these complications for somebody
else. Powell Flat is very much
isolated, and / wanted to study
your social conditions, school ia
cilities, ETC., and this brings in
the matter of personal likes or

deal about the Mormons, and |

had little home in the country,
with good soil, | would risk max
ing a god living. have no.
ticed that you have all kinds of
farmers here, but not so very
many good ones. 1t impresses me
very much as it did In Kansas
twenty years ago. People would
come in there from Illinois or
other states farther east, and buy
land at high prices. 1t was gen
orally considered that land values
had about reached the limit, and
that nobody could expect to keep
money invested in lands at pre-.
vailing prices. The older settlers
who knew the country best would
laugh at men from Illinois when
they paid good prices for land,
expecting to farm it for living,
and those same men kept adding
to their little farms until they had
many of the old settlers bot out.
! recall one instance where a man
paid S55 an acre for a farm and
it was generally considered fool
ish investment, but he got his
money back in four years profits
on the farm. Land values have
kept right on increasing, and the
"new corners" have generally been
more successful farmers than the
older settlers. think | see the
same conditions here.
Mr.. Spier left on Saturday for
his home in Kansas, and said he
expected to send some of his
friends out to see the Powell Pro.

THE sUPERsT1T1ous SOUTH.

Among the many uncomfortable
traits attributed to the Afro-Ameri-
can by his critics is the. fact that he
is superstitious. The writer noticed
not long since statement made by
a white visitor to the North that4the
uneducated whites of the South were
filled with superstitions derived from
the Afro-Americans.
1t is a fact that superstition pre-.
walls to large extent among all
classes OF the population of the
South, but it is the height of absurd
ity to suppose that these supersti-
tons originated among the slave pop
ulation-just as absurd as to suppose
that some uncu1tivated slave com
posed Way Down Upon the Swanee
Ribber.''
There are two works in Greek,
composed by authors who lived three
or Jour hundred years before the
time Of Christ which mention several
of the superstitions which the igno-
rant Southerner sets down as: having
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1907-11-23

originated among the Afro meri-
cans OF the South, and which show
what monumental fool even a
Southerner can make Of himself when
talking concerning things he knows
very little about These two works:
Hesiod's Works and Days, and Con-
corning Gems (Peri Lithoi) The
former work goes very largely into
the theory Of lucky and unlucky days
and the latter mentions, among other
things, that the amethyst will pre-
vent drunkenness.
Now, it is the opinion Of THE AP-
PEALsthat the prevalence Of these
superstit:ons among the Afro-Ameri-
cans Of the South is due to their de-
voting too much time to reading He
siod ard Peri Lithoi, and it earnestly
appeals to the legislatures of Texas
and Georgia to prohibit the circula-
ton Of such incendiary publications
in the land of Dixie and Jimcrow.

A TEXAS RACE WAR"

Hades has again broken loose in
Texas and the rangers are ordered
out to suppress the Grace war" in St.
Augustine County. The kind of war
it is is shown by the following ex-
tract from a Texas journal:
"The houses of many Negroes were
fired into last night, and there is a
big exodus of panic-stricken blacks
from the county. Many of the Ne.
groes are we'll armed and refuse to
leave"
The same journal also gives the
following account of the origin of the
trace war"
"The trouble, started over a game
Of cards. Fenry Head, white citi-
zen, was playing with some Negroes.
After he had won what money they
had he was shot and killed by one of
them. The next day two Negroes
were killed by white men"
And, by the way, nearly all the race
wars are started in a very similar
way. Henry Head was evidently a
low-doWn, thieving vagabond, who
consorted with Afro-Americans for.
the express purpose of robbing them.
If there were any sincerity in the
southern howl about social equality,
no one would care a baubee about his
being killed But, on the contrary,
it seems that the whole community.
was aroused to defend Henry Heads
God-given right to cultivate the most
intimate social relations with Afro
Americans, and to render himself a
not only to his own race,
but to them, and so the home OF
scores Of innocent persons were
raided and many 1nuch-needed Ia
borers driven from the country. The.
gallant Texans must value social
equality with Afro Americans very
highly, when they are SO ready to
fight for it.

SOCIAL EQUALITY"

THE APPEAL has for some time
been anxious to find definition Of
the term "social equality" as under
stood by the southern white brother
but has only recently been gratifed
by finding one Gov. Glenn, OF
North Carolina, has at length sup
piled the missing link. He was asked
by reporter for the G1obe-Demo-
crat:
''What do you mean by social
equality when you employ that term
in connection with the Afro-Ameri-
cans?"
"The promiscuous association of
Negroes with the whites in hotels,
restaurants, theaters and other public
places, and the resultant familiarity
which would inevitably lead to the
mixture of the races in marriage"
with no thought of being flippant,
| should like to ask what the South
ern white man will do when he gets
to heaven?"
ii don't imagine there will be any
divisions in paradise, but have often
wondered what will happen to the
fellow who had three or four wives.
I know one old codger who has had

duty. "Uncle Lewis was doing
what he was competent to do; but
all Afro-Americans are not Of the
"Uncle Lewis type.
Some like Tanner are great artists,
others like Granville T. Woods are
great inventors; some like Booker
Washington are great educators,
others like Dunbar are great poets;
some like Register Vernon are great
orators, others like Edward Morris
are great lawyers. Thousands OF
others are authors, fnanciers, in
ventors, bankers, teachers and theo-
logians.
"Unc1e Lewis" admitted, what was
probably true, that the white men
with whom he came in contact were
in intelligence and capability, his un-
doubted superiors: Artist Tanner
cannot admit that every white man
can paint finer picture than he can,
nor can Professor Du Bots manifest
reference" to gang of Atlanta
hoodlums, until some one of their
number shall produce literary works
superior to "The Souls of Black
Folk" or "A Litany of Atlanta"
So THE APPEAL, while dropping
a tear to the memory of good old
Uncle Lewis" must also extend its
best, wishes to the ambitious Afro
American, who gains pre-eminence
as nartist, statesman, orator, must
clan, theologian or inventor, even at
the expense of losing his difference
for some people with white skins.

SOME BRITISH PATRIcIANs

Il, The noted English editor and critic
has been undertaking among the
members of the peerage and has
brought to light some very interest
ing results, which show that many Of
the English patricians have very lit
tie reason to be proud of their .ances-
tors. We refer to Mr.. Labouchere,
and give just a little taste of his. arti,
Gle, as follows:
1T is no secret that the first Duke
of Marlborough owed his career, in
the first instance, to the relations OF
his sister, Arabella Churchill, and
James II.
"The first Earl of Orkney was
raised to the peerage for his public
service in marrying Elizabeth Vii.
Tiers, who was cast off by James I.
"The elevation to the peeragc OF
the eldest of William Tvs illegiti
mate sons by Mrs. Jordan as Earl OF
Munster was one of the first acts OF
that monarch on his accession to the
throne"
That makes no difference, however,
the kowtowing to the noble descend
ants of harlots will go on the same
as ever. You see, they have gold to
keep and gold to spend, gold to give
way and gold to lends, which disin.
fects the whole batch.

WHEN HE BEHAVES HIM


Apropos of nothing, the CONNER
cial-Appeal remarks: when the
Negro behaves himself, the Negro
question will be settled" This seems
to THE APPEAL TO indefinitely
postpone the year of Jubilee, for it
IS utterly impossible for the INTEL,
gent Afro-American to initiate the
cringing servility of the old "befo'
de wa" survival, which is what the
Commercial-Appeal means by "be-
having himself"
To the old ex-slaye, tn. white
"massa" was unquestionab1y su-
perior being, whom it was an honor
to serve. But things have come to
such pass that every day of his life
the intelligent Afro American comes
into contact with scores of white
men who are, in every respect, his
interiors. Another point is that Off
cial returns show that about sixty
per cent of the Afro-Americans are
no longer illiterate, and the two or
three hundred newspapers which
they support show that they are a
reading people.
On the southern plantations are to
be found thousands of common la
borers who are by far better in
formed as to the political questions
pending before the nation than the
