FARMERS SHOULD
RAISE HORSES
GOOD MARES USED ORDINARILY Y
IN FARN! WORK SHOULD BE
BRED TO GOOD STATIONS

Washington, d. c., Oct. S-During
the next decade there will probably be
an increased demand for American
horses in the countries now engaged
in the European war. The demand
may even continue much longer, ac-
cording to investigators Of the U. S.
department Of agriculture, as not on
ly will horses be needed for armies,
but when peace is restored, more will
be needed for agriculture. Already
European agents are said to be endeav
oring to purchase horses in this
country and Canada, and there is an
increased interest in many sections in
horse breeding.
To meet this increased European
demand American farmers may we'll
endeavor to raise well-brcd horses, al
though the department Of agriculture
does not advise them to purchase a
surplus Of horses merely for breeding
purposes. 1t merely advises that or,
dinary farm work should be done
whenever possible by good mares
which should be bred to good stations
1t also desires to emphasize the fac1
that only horses of high quality may
be protitably raised today. inferior
horses are drug on the market, ant
| their production is to be discouraged
as much as the production of goot
horses should be encouraged.
The United States was previousl,
drawn on to supply European coun
tries at war. In the Boer war owe
100000 horses were bought here b.
the British government. It may b
doubted whether foreign governmen
could now obtain similar supply il
this country, except at excessive cost
However, if farmers take pains to ut
iliZe their goo dmares during this win
| ter to breed them to good stations, il
the course of several years (tim
enough for the foals to develop Am
erica will be better able to meet tn
European demand

tries should look to the United Stat

DRAMATIC TREAT is PROVIDED
AT THE GRAND FRIDAY
EVENING.

Many plays Of American origin are
ust as we'll supplied with the dramatic
starting point but fail to hold the
great human, the picturesque dignity
and the charm Of atmosphere that has
caused the enduring popularity Of
"The Virginian.
To suggest the sympathetic insight,
the literary freshness and the un af-
fected eloquence that has been given
it's characters is task that, few au-
thors attain. The story is a pretty one
and far above the ordinary plot of
such offerings in the nature of logic
and coherency Of the theme.
1t has none Of the blood and thunder
features Of many of the so-called
dramas of the plains, yet teens with
intense dramatic moments. The love
interest is particularly strong and has
to do with interesting and vital char
acters in I; clean, wholesome way. 1t
tells of the battle Of the great hearted
simple minded man of the plains into
whose life has come change in the
person Of an eastern girl Of culture
and refinement against whose manner
of great civilization he feels but does
not easily understand.
With a play possessing the qualities
Of "The Virginian" adequately pro-
duced and areistically acted one is re-
freshed with reminder that an eve
ming at the theatre is still eminently
worth while. Jones and Cranes beau
! tiful production Of the above play will

PULLS OFF STUNT

Last Saturday, evening O. X. Gilbert
son, proprietor of the Pastime Billiard
Parlor gave his patrons and others an
entertainment somewhat out of the or
dinary. L. G. Gilbertson, brother of
O. K, seems to be somewhat of a vau-
deville artist himself, and by way of
amusement for the crowd that had
gathered, was locked into an iron tank
by Chief of Police Timboe, with the
understanding that he was to release
himself. In less than two minutes af-
ter the chief had announced to the
crowd that he had him safely locked
up, the prisoner was out of the bucket.
On next Saturday evening Gilbert
son, the local hand-cuff king, will per-
NIT himself to be handcuffed by any
officer Of the city or county and also
to be placed in the galvanized iron
tank, that to be locked on the outside,
and says he believes he can release
himself. No doubt some of the skep-
tical will be there to see.

Mr., WILSON AND "sEeREGA7loN."

New York.-To the Editor of THE
APPEAL. Sir: The interview of Will
liam Munroe Trotter and the delega-
ton OF colored gentlemen with the
President of the United States brings
forward again the burning question of
the treatment of colored civil servants
In Washington. The whole incident
shows grimly and forcefully how Deep
ly the colored people Of this country
feel the injustice which Mr.. Wilson's
government has inflicted upon them
and still inficts.
The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People has been
fighting segregation in federal depart
ments ever since the first rumor of it
was made public. Over year ago an
investigator was sent to Washington
and report printed. Since that time
representative of the national as
ISOLATION has kept in close touch with
the local situation, and on one oc-
casion this representative appeared be-
fore the civil service committee and
helped kill the bill of Edwards of
Georgia and Aswen of Louisiana max.
Ing segregation legal throughout the
federal civil service. Much of the
segregation has disappeared.
When the u street station of the
postoftice in Washington was abol-
ished all the colored men employed
lost their positions, but through the
Intervention OF this association three

OF them were reinstated. When the
bureau Of engraving and printing
moved to its new quarters it was the
original idea to segregate colored and
white people throughout the entire
building, but through the efforts Of
this association there is no segrega
ton In the lunchrooms or on the roof
garden. Segregation, nevertheless
still exists in the Postofice Depart
ment and in the Treasury, and pos
sibly here and there in a small de-
gree in other places. ,.,~
1t still remains true that for the first
time in half century a President Of
the United States and distinguished
members of his Cabinet have deemed
It necessary for the peace and quiet
Of these United States that clerks in
the federal service, having passed the
same examinations and receiving the
same rate of pay, must be separated
In their work if the ancestors of any
of them had a drop of Negro blood
In some cases the "colored" clerks
have been so white in appearance thai
the officials themselves have made
mistakes in classifying them. In othe1
cases clerks of all colors have pro
tested against the attempted separa
ton. Always the separation has
caused humiliation and Inconvenience
and added COST
