SALOON REGULATION.

sss,The action. taken by the city and
county officials of Sanpcte CO., at their
convention at Ephraim, regarding the
regulation OF the liquor traffic and SUM
day ai1useiments is highly eon7rnend-
able. 1t is a proof OF the sincerity of
The anti-saloon agitation, and also g
warning that the conflict Is, by no
means, ended.
The delegates to the convention
pledged themselves to use their infiu-
ence to secure the enactment Of ordin-
snces fixing the license Of retail dea1-
ers at 1900 d year; and closing the
saloons on Sundays and between. a'p. M
and 6 a. m. every other day. They
also declared in favor of half a holiday
on Fridays in order that there might be
no excuse for deyoting any part OF the
4 Sabbath to games and sport
we trust officials n other parts OF
the state Will take similar action
Wherever it cftrl be done the saloons
RI ought ID be closed, but where that is
not practical strict regulation and carly
closing are the next best measures of
defense against the aggressive evil. The,
saloons, however, might as well be

they be permitted to keep open after the

AN IMPORTANT CONCLUSION.

The American Association of Din
ing Car Superintendents was recent
ly in session in Chicago, and among
its conclusions was one of great in
terest to the Afro-American. Among
the prominent members was Superin-
tendent Of the Illinois Central, Mr..
Dow, who declared:
"The question of substituting women
walters for Afro-Americans had been
taken up at former meetings of the
association, but it was decided that
women would be unable to do the
work satisfactorily. The Lake Shore
road and others employed white men
instead Of Afro-Americans, for a while
butt all returned to the original sys
tenn ~-.. j.. ..a .
This may seem a very unimportant
incident, but it is one of great signif
canoe, since it refers to the matter OF
gaining living. It is the testimony
of the railroads of the country to the
established fact that in certain lines
of industry, the Afro-American has ne
rival. -

medicine and divinity, and has pro-
duced authors whose contributions
appear in the highest grade of Ameri-
can magazines.
The paintings Of Tanner are "hon-
ored' by the Paris Salon and several
purchased by the French government;
the musical compositions of Cole
ridge Taylor are much in vogue in
the best society; and the Filipino
band, trained and led by an Afro
American, recently entertained the
elite of the capital of the United
States. It seems to THE APPEAL
that the persons mentioned are not
lacking in capacity for self-elevation.
But looking at conditions in various
countries what do we see? What is
the condition of the Jews in Russia
the Armenians in Turkey-the Irish
in Great Britain-the Poles in their
own land? Very much like that of
the Afro-American in Mississippi, is
it not?
1t is very easy to deduce the con-
clusion that the nation most ad-
vanced in civilization, which the most
rapid-fire guns and Dreadnaughts can
so arrange matters that his less civ
ilized neighbor shall be incapable Of
self-elevation.

DR.. ELlOT's NEW RELIGION.

Dr.. Eliots new religion" is nothing
new. being simply the old blatant in
fidelity of CELSIUS and Porphyry, VOL
taire, Rousseau and Tom Payne.
It may be summed up thus: No
heaven, no hell, no miracles, no
saints, no prayer, no Immortality, no
divinity Of Christ, no Gods image in
man, no value in the sacraments, no
nothing. -....
The Doctor says that his new reli-
gion will have nothing supernatural
about it, but a child can see that it is
supernaturally nonsensical
The Doctor is most pronounced in
fdel and shows upon every occasion;
for instance, when he recommends
Byron's Manfred and Shelley's Beat
rice CeCnci, both of which are chock
full of the most revolving immortality.
They are both as unclean as Manon
Lescault or Rcusseau's Confessions
Under a proper construction of the
law, neither Manfred or Beatrice Cen
ci is transmissible through the mails.

Afro-Americans, Japanese, Chinese,
white women and Jews have long
been among the tabooed classes, and
if these were not cough to be segre-
gated, now comes the city of Wash
ington and strives to enroll that chiv-
alrous bird the rooster among the un-
desirables. The complaint against
the rooster is that he blows his trum-
pet too sonorously and at untimely
periods, thereby disturbing the repose
of drowsy citizens. THE APPEAL is
uncompromisingly upon the side of tn
rooster in this controversy just as it
was on the side of the Jewish maidens
who were tabooed by the Finishing
schools of that city. The rooster is
an Asiatic by descent, and, of course,
has some Asiatic characteristics, but
on the whole is a pretty decent sort
of a fellow. THE APPEAL would
not give one rooster for regiment of
C'astellanes and Don Miguels.
The Appeal., 1909-11-27

Anent the subject of vagrancy in
the South. the New Orleans Times
Democrat remarks:
In Georgia law was framed aim.
ed at those Negroes, and apparently
it reached them at first. All other
Southern states followed in the foot
steps OF Georgia, and splendid results
were promised from this legislation.
1t was expected to furnish much
more abundant supply of labor dur
Ing the busy farm season of the year;
to put an end to the drain of large
idle class, doing nothing and provid-
ing nothing and to reduce the depre-
dation and other petty crimes of the
idle Negroes.
But for some reason or other the
law has never worked as it was ex-
pected to do. but has dropped into a
state OF desuetude. 1t is admitted by
all that it is good law and that it is
constitutional; it was built on prac-
tlcal lines, and has been tested and
found fit.''
If the Southern states will ever
have the good sense to pass laws
aimed at vagrants and loafers of all
classes, they will, probably not fall
into "a state of desuetude," but there
will be fair probability of their en-
fcrcement. A law aimed at those
Negroes is a fraud upon its face and
ought to fail.

THE TITANIC STRUGGLE AGAINST
WHITE SUPREMACY.

Among the most interesting litera-
ture to be found in the great dailies
are the letters of such globe-trotters
as Mr.. Frederick J. Haskin, who is
gathering much important informa-
tion as to doings all over the world.
In a recent letter Mr.. Haskin says:
''In 1908, last year, the immigra-
ton into the Amur, according to Off
cial Russian figures, was more than
100000, and the total for this year is
expected to be 100000. This means
that in less than four years Russia
has placed almost 100000 settlers in
these undeveloped provinces, and the
work is proceeding at such rate that
ten years will find 100000 Russians
domiciled here. That means that Rus
sia will do in ten years more than
England has done in Australia in a
century in the matter of building up
population"

ers inspired in the Afro American a
spirit of manhood which led him to
aspire to higher and better things.
This unfortunate tendency Rev. Gil
bert is laboring to reform and to make
the Afro-American perfectly resigned
to become simply a newer of wood
and a drawer of water fer the Cau-
slams.
Rev. Gilbert would make the Afro
American more humble than Uriah
Heap, Just as he was in the times Of
slavery, perfectly willing to accept
the white man as massa.
THE APPEAL is fearful thai this
attemp tof Rev. Gilbert to reform the
race is a little too late to effect that
purpose.
