By Frederick's Tomb

On his march to Berlin, Napoleon en- tered the green gate and went to bed In the very rococo precincts of Fred erick the Greats much Frenchified pal ace of Sans Souci, which sits amid it's terraces and fountains at Potsdam. Having overthrown the Kingdom of Fred erick in campaign of seven days, he felt entitled to make himself at home in the favorite abode Of the hero of the Seven Years war. Like the tourists who daily stream through the green gate. he visited Voltaire's room. saw the chair in which the Great Frederick passed the declining days of his lean old age. the bed on which he died, the clock which he used to wind and whose hands stopped at the very minute of its masters death.
 The uninvited guest of Sans Souci also made pilgrimage to the Garrison church in the town of Potsdam, the place or worship of the HOhenzollerns, which IS almost as plain as a New England meet ing house. There in q bare dingy alcove behind the severely simple Lutheran pull pit, two plain marble sarcophagt rest on the floor One holds the dust of Fred erick the Greats quarrelsome father Frederick William I. who was. so disap- pointed in his son and heir that he al- most drove him into exile and actually did lock him up in a fortress, while the other, covered with wreaths. holds the dust of Frederick.
 The sword and sash and hat of the mighty warrior lay upon his earcophs- aus when Napoleon vigltpd the tomb and he promptly ordered that they be sent to the mu6eum of the Hotel de9. lnva1tqes h 2Axie T would rathsr hase tnese than

Short Walk from Freeman to Serf.
(Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va.)
1t seems to us that agitation is
needed and that some we'll directed
effort on the part of the Colored pe0-
pie themselves should be made to
check this pale Of oppression which
has now settled down all over the
country. With the elimination of our
political rights has come the interfer-
ence with our property rights and
from freeman to serf is but a short
walk in distance. Colored men must
stand up for their rights, and they
should not depend upon others to
stand up for them.
While the women are contending
for the right of suffrage, let the Col
ored men contend for the same thing.
Political 'pull' against us is accom-
plishing our ruin. We have never be-
ieved that the Colored people should
eschew politics. This was the com.
mencement of our undoing and the
sooner we get back on the political
road again, the better.
Rights are controlled and curtailed
by politics. This is the lever to be
used in our favor, just as the white
peoples have used it against us.

1.-THE POWER OF AelTATlON."


THE APPEAL is always pleased to
read in the columns Of its Southern
Afro-American contemporaries editor
ials which may serve to inspire the
race to always protest against wrong.
In the article which follows, Mrs. Mag
gle ~. Walker, the banker editor of
St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Virginia,
truly says, when the spirit and pow
err of agitation die among people,
they are doomed beyond all hope of
resuscitation and redemption"
THE POWER OF AGITATION.
The greatest power on earth for the
Fighting of wrongs, is the power of
agitation. When the spirit and power
of agitation die among people, they
are doomed beyond all hope of resus.
citation and redemption. So important
is the power, that it is guaranteed to
the people through the mandates of
the Constitution of the United States.
The colored man is not an aglrator,
nor has he ever been. It has dinned
into his ears until it has reached his
very soul, that all he has to do toward
righting his wrongs, is to wait until
the Lord himself shall see fit to come
down and right them. The idea OF
peaceably assembling and making in
telligent and persistent protest against
outrage and wrong seems foreign to
him. Or, should he start an agitation
and is rebuffed at the start, he loses
heart, abandons the effort and gives up
like a disappointed child.
It is the agitation Of the waters Of
the sea, which prevents stagnation
and death. 1t is the agitation of the
air which gives pure air to breathe.
It is the agitation of the blood, which
gives us the power of motion and lite,
and it is the agitation of thoughts and
ideas which prevents brain stagnation
and mental death. When people lose
that interest in themselves, to that
extent that they stand supinely by,
quietly submitting to wrong, without
protest, they have reached the danger
point in race progress development.

CANDIDATE FOR
COUNTY AUDITOR

Fellow Citizens:
Being candidate for reelection,
the following are some of the reasons
that I feel should entitle me to your
support
I have served the County faithfully
during my incumbency, and am now
thoroughly familiar with the complex
duties of this office. I have managed
the office on strictly business princi-
pies, and by doing so, have saved the
County many thousands of dollars.
The help in the office was chosen
on an efficiency basis, and it's person
mel is such that am proud of it, Each
employee is expert in the particular
work assigned to him; polite, atten-
tive, and treating everyone with the
utmost courtesy and respect.
Personally, I am at my desk at all
business hours, and always ready and
willing to give ear to complaints, or
to be OF such other assistance as may
be requested.
The new City Charter imposes many
additional duties on the County Audi
tor, making it desirable to have a man
familiar with the work to fill the DO
sition. My record should ,~enable
every citizen to judge of my fitness to
fill the office to the best advantage
of all. 49,,
May l ask you to consider these
facts in connection with my candidacy,
and, If you consider them sufficient. to
favor me with your active co-opera-
tion
Very respectfully yours,
GEO. J. RIES,

of our race employed as a clerk in his
