Signed by President Taft.
When Mr.. Taft became president.
March 4, 1909. there were six colored
messengers and laborers employed in

cation of the Office in 1911 two were
transferred to positions in the depart

tuberculosis, and the president had him
transferred to good position in the

ployees have been added-Major Ar

rate battalion. n. G. D. c., for whom
the place Of custodian was created

END OF OLDEST NEWSPAPER IN
THE WORLD.

One of the things which all newspa-
pers boast of with pardonable pride is
their age. And it may be a little sur
prising to some to know that in that
regard the Heather Chinee' had all
the papers in the world beaten to a
fragile until recently, according to the
following excerpt from the Scientific
American:
The president of the Chinese Re-
public, Yuan Schi Kai, recently sup
pressed the newspaper King-Bao,
which undoubtedly was the Oldest pa
per in the world. For 1900 years it
has reported the more important news
not only of China, but also of foreign
countries. At time when the art OF
printing and journalism was as yet
unknown in Europe, the Chinese Gong
Chung invented a means for making
types from lead and silver; and in the
year 400 A. D. the paper King-Bao was
printed, and has since been issued reg
ularly until recently. The first edition
was printed on ten sheets OF yellow
silk, neatly tied together, and was thus
sent to all the high officials of the Chi
nese Empire.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1912-10-26

Mr.. Duncan was transferred to the
treasury department at an increased
salary. Mr.. Brent was transferred as
a clerk to the city postoffice at an ill.,
creased salary, Mr.. Reeder was trans
ferred to the state department. Mr..
Pinckny was given good place in the
executive Office, and Mr.. Amos was
given a good place in New York.
All of these places were filed by the
president with colored men, I'm add-
ton the president appointed the follow
Ing Afro-American employees at the
executive mansion: W. w. Brown,
J. w. Mays. S. G. Jackson, T.. c. Peters
and Miss Annie Brooks. When the
president came into Office there were
five colored coachmen and hostlers at
the White House stables. On account
OF changing from carriages to automo-
biles, chauffeurs and footmen were en-
pioyed. but places were found in the
departments for four Of these coach
men and hostlers and the other volun-
tarlly accepted position in New York.
There are on the regular payroll OF
the executive Office six colored en-
ployees whose salaries aggregate.
$3.50 per annum. On the regular DIV
roll of the executive mansion there are
twenty colored employees whose an
nual salaries aggregate $11,562. One.
colored employee in the White House
garage receives salary or $3.50 per
annum. A number of colored men and
women are employed for duty at func-
tons during the social season and their
pay in the aggregate amounts to more
than $1,000. The total amount paid to
Afro-Americans at the White House is
nearly $4,000 per annum.
After twenty-five years of faithful
service as the commanding officer Of
a battalion of the national guard of the
District Of Columbia, Major Arthur
Brooks has recently been retired with
the rank Of lieutenant colonel. His
commission was signed by President
Taft Lieutenant Colonel Brooks is

FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
President Taft Says It Is Essen.
tial to Full DEVELOPMENT.

Every once in awhile you will
meet 4 man whose vision is Il
bit clouded, who talks about the
waste of money in teaching men
of your race the curriculum Of
an academic institution. Instead
of sending them to the univer-
sity. the claim is made that they
should be sent to manual train
ing institutions. Such q man has
never thought deeply on the sub
ject and does not understand
that as race which is striving
onward and upward you need
many who shall be leaders-men
who shall figure in the learned
professions. many Of them as
physicians. as lawyers and espe-
cially as ministers.
Race Has High Ideals.
l believe in the higher educa-
ton Of the race so that the
leaders of the Afro American
people may have high ideals, and
believe they have. | believe
that they subscribe, as perhaps
some others in our community
life do not. to the majesty Of the
law and have respect for con-
stituted authority HEARTY ap-
plausel and for our institutions
as they are. lGreat applause. j.

SEVERAL HAVE
CLOSE ESCAPES
Coasting Down Sidehills Is DAN
gerouS Pastime

That coasting on the sidehills is a
very dangerous pastime was again
demonstrated this week in Houghton
when number of narrow escapes
were reported from various parts oil
town. one party using a big bob ana
coming down Agate street at a fearful
rate barely missed collidiug with big
touring car that was passing out Col
lege avenue and the boy that was
seated on the rear of the bob was
bumped OFT by the auto in passing so
close did the two come TO a disastrous
collision. The fact that the street cars
cross the hills in East Houghton makes
coasting in that part of the town all
the more dangerous and there have
been several severe accidents reported
in the past few years.
The recent fan of snow and cold
spell made the hills almost ideal for
coasting although in many cases the
rocks were not very far from the sur
face. Ne very serious accidents have
been reported but the number Of close
escapes may be indicative of accidents
to follow If the practice is allowed 70
continue. The Houghton police have
not yet announced that they intended
10 stop the practice but this must
eventually happen if some preventa.
tive measure is not taken TO prevent
accidents.
