Beautiful Grand Army Habit.

It is no improper exposure of the
lodge work of the Grand Army OF
the Republic to call attention to a
most beautiful and effective method Of
the order in dispensing kindness and
paying, tribute to members.
In each meeting of post inquiry
is made concerning the number and
names Of those incapacitated by sick
ness from attending the gathering
When the list is completed formal or.
der is made that flowers be sent to the
bedside of each sufferer.
Further, if any Of the sick are
known to be in desperate financial cir.
cumstances, a five-dollar bill, or one
of larger denomination, goes with the
flowers.
Thus do the defenders and saviors
of the government and of the nation
remember and pay tribute to their
comrades in hours of suffering and
want.

INTEREST IN SEGREGATION,

If there is need of evidence to con-
vince any one of the growth of race
prejudice in this country it may be
found in the widespread interest in
segregation of the races in cities.
The plan of restricting Afro-Ameri-
cans to certain neighborhoods has
been adopted in many of the smaller
cities Of the South, but Baltimore is
the largest city in which the plan has
been enacted into law.
Samuel L. West, who enjoys the un-
enviable distinction of being the au-
thor of the infamous West segrega-
tion ordinance, announces that he has
sent copies of his race segregation
law from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans. He says that there is a de-
mand for information from every part
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1912-05-25

Every day we are more and more
inclined to believe that if to BE a
CHRISTIAN one must:
with all thy soul love God above,
And as thy self thy neighbor love-"
few of our white brothers can justly
lay claim to the title. And nowhere
is unchristian action more pro-
nounced, so far as the "Brother in
Black is concerned, than in so-called
christian institutions controlled by
whites.

Away back in 1884 John B. Kirchell,
of Kingston, N. Y, made a wager to
never cut his hair or shave his whis-
kers if Blaine was not elected. Of
course he lost, and has paid his wager
faithfully, and his hair is now two
feet long and his whiskers reach to
his waist. What fool things people
do in connection with politics, and we
may look out for a lot of freak bets on
the coming presidential election.

\ Woman's Wishes.

To the end of this desired state
her cry is for a full right to her
own property, whether she has
earned it by her own effort or
has earned it by helping sand urg-
ing her husband to save it, or
whether it has been hers by the
accident of inheritance. She re-
bells against the right which exists
in some states in this otherwise
glorious Union of a husband who
may have subsisted upon her prov
idence all their married life to pre-
vent her withdrawal from the bank
Of her own savings account, or her
sale of the house she has builded
by her own efforts, or to bequeath
his unearned half of the increment
to his own relatives or friends, or
even the woman for whom he has
given her cause for jealousy if the
possibility of it still exists in the
heart long before emptied of all
love of him. Such instances, not
uncommon. add volume and poign-
ancy to the cry of woman.
The cry Of woman is for an equal
standard of morality for the sexes.
She is tired of fractional decency
Of living. She does not want to
bear alone the white banner of
chastity. She wants to see the man
Of her affection marching beside her
in the path of purity. She wants
to wreck the foolish old traditions
of license in conduct for the other
sex. TO overturn all the barricades
of privilege and prerogative by
which he has defended his dal-S
lance along the broad way.
Her cry is for simplifed living.
that she may have time for mental
growth. She welcomes the de-
vices that make housekeeping a
briefer and easier task. She wants
housekeeping TO become not an alb
sorbing, eXhausting occupation, but

Wants to Be Comrade.

II she marries she wants to be
treated as a comrade and business
partner, instead of a plaything or
household servant, She wants her
opinions to be treated with respect,
not tolerance nor ridicule. She
wants to be a leader for her chill
dren, not an awed follower in their
educated steps.
She wants to extend her house
keeping talents into the worlds
housekeeping. for the worlds good.
She cries for the right to be
guided by the trained mind, instead
of lacking to the impulses OF the
vagrant heart.
The woman's cry is to be allowed
to transmute the clean, fine, high
ideals Of womanhood into the reali-
ties Of the world.
