Found Almost Frozen in

Almost frozen and with her jaw
fractured Mrs. Hugh Stone, of 120
Grant avenue. Harrison, was found
in the yard in the rear of her home

She was missed by her husband

house, and finally went into the yard,
where he stumbled across her pros

house and summoned medical aid. At
O'Clock this morning the Harrison

PUTTING 1T ON GOD.

Old Francis Joseph, Emperor OF
Austria Hungary, in declaring war on
little Servia, stated that he earnestly
desired to avoid hostilities but "Provi-
dence decreed otherwise"
That has familiar sound. In the
dark days before the war, the alleged
Christians of the United States said
that God had decreed slavery as a
great benefit to the poor benighted
Africans"
At the present time alleged Christ
ians are mountaineering Afro-Ameri,
cans, putting them out of their church
es, segregating them in certain cities,
building jimcrow Y. M. G. AS, forcing
the race into jimcrow schools, jimcrow
cars, jimcrow public libraries, jim
crow public parks. Southern Chris
tan 60 legislators disfranchise the
race and pass all sorts of discriminate
inng laws. When called to account
for their unchristian actions they bold
ly claim that it was decreed by God
that the races should be separate in
all things. The idea that certain
classes wronged other classes by di
vine right may have been believed in
the Middle Ages but the people do not
swallow such dope nowadays.

ment of Public Welfare, and placed in
the hands of a committee of seven
women with many years of experience
In such work.

visits are being paid to other places
at the Fair. At the Rest Cottage there
will be chance any time to rest, wash
hands and face, and re-arrange the
clothing. If anyone becomes ill the
Emergency Hospital is equipped to
give expert attention instantly at no
cost.
Near the Women's Building a large
headquarters tent will be erected,
where programs interesting to women
will be held during the entire week.
Women from the country will have a
splendid opportunity to rest and visit
at the Farmers Club Headquarters
near Agricultural Hall. A visit to the
State Fair should present no terrors

architect who made the original model
for the United States government, will

Although our father was born in
Georgia he moved from the state up
on reaching early manhood, on account
of the intolerable prejudice which was
growing quite rapidly. That was at
least seventy-fve years ago and it's
been growing worse and worse every
year since. In fact, we had become to
believe that nothing good could come
out of Georgia, but it now seems there
is some hope. The Georgia senate has
passed a bill making it unlawful for
authorities to subject prisoners to

SEGREGATING REPUBLICANS

The Central Afro-American of Saint
Louis in timely editorial protests
against the action of certain branches
OF the Republican party in Saint Louis
in putting the Afro-American voters
off to themselves and shutting them
| out OF the party councils in the forma-
ton of campaign plans. The Afro
American says:
ESPECIALLY is it true of some wards
in this city, where the Afro-American
voters are directed to hold separate
meetings, where the only work they
can accomplish is to carry out the in
structions given them by the advo-
Gates of this segregation idea. It is
an idea entirely foreign to true Re-
publican principles, having no place
upon the roll of honor with the names
of Lincoln, Sumner, Grant, Douglas
and others, but very properly belongs
in the category of ideas advocated by
Vardaman, Tillman, Blease and their
ilk.
No separate meetings are necessary
for the German, Irish, Jew; Italian or
any English-speaking race of Re-
publicans, then why in the name of all
that is honest and fair are such meet
ings necessary for Afro-American Re
mn hi n0Do fxo@
mand more than their share of re-
cognition in appointments, based upon
their numerical strength, and they will
never be satisfied with less. All
voters in the Republican Party should
have the right to express their pref
erences for men who desire their sup
port at the polls, and this can only be
done by Afro-American representa-
itves being admitted to the party
councils where the selections OF the
party organization are discussed This
is the only method we know of where
by the party organizations can in all
truth act for government OF the
people, by the people, and for the
people,"
Let us have ONE PARTY COUN-
GIL participated in by representatives
of ALL NATIONALITIES, then we
shall have TRUE HARMONY, and a
singleness of purpose that will sweep
aside all opposition
To all of which THE APPEAL says
Amen.

The ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end Of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by reso]ute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is a British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev.
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
"My study and comparison of con.
ditions in the United States and the
West Indies," he said, has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. l
do not expect them to adopt the me:h.
DDS of missionaries, nor do l sympa.
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths Of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment of the mixed community in
