THE CLARK ANTI-MARRIAGEB BILL

| W.T. S-@nI\ AIN I-MAnNlAO6 BILL.
The Clark Bill prohibiting inter-mar-
| rage of the races in the District of
Columbia, recently reported favorably
by the District Committee of the
House, and making the marriage of
Afro-Americans and Caucasians a.
"crime' is one of the most Infamous
! measures ever offered in Congress.
1t strikes at the very foundation of
Christianity for among Christians of
every creed, marriage is regarded as
divine, institution.
There is no reason for such legisla-
ton. Caucasians usually marry eau
casians and Afro-Americans usually
marry Afro-Americans. The number
who marry interracially is wholly neg
ligible. Ehe real purpose of the Bill
is to place a stigma upon the Afro
American people.
The Clark Bill is really an open in
vitation to immortality and leaves the
Afro-American woman without protec-
ton and an easy prey to vicious men
of the white race. If there is to be
any mixing of the races it ought to
be done legitimately in Christian mar
rlage and not in an immoral manner.
1t is not the proper function of the
Government to draw lines of invidious
distinction between it's various classes
OF citizens and place on the statute
books law which in effect brands
one group of citizens as unfit, CHASING
it with imbeciles, idiots, detectives, de-
generates and criminals.
And then there is another point of
view. The mixing which has already
taken place has not resulted in de-
generate specimens of manhood. The
first blood spilled in the Revolution
airy War was that of a mixed-blood
-Crispus Attacks. Frederick Doug
lass, one of Americas greatest orators,
a patriot and a statesman was of
mixed-blood. DR.. w. E. B. Dubois,
the great literateur and sociologist, is
a mixed-blood. DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington, the great Industrial educator, is
a mixed-blood. H. Y. Tanner, the great
artist whose pictures have been pur-
chased by the French Government and
now hang in the Louvre, is mixed
blood. DR.. Daniel H. Williams, one
of the worlds greatest surgeons and
who was the first man surgeon in all
the world to operate successfully on
the human heart, is a mixed-blood.
THE APPEAL could name thousands
of other mlxed-bloods of whom Amer
lea may well be proud. ..
Every Afro-American in the United
States ought to do every thing in his
power to prevent the passage of the
Clark Bill and all other jim-crow legis-
lation. Write to your Congressman
and ask him to vote against and work
against every jim-crow Bill now in
Congress. ..-.. 49,. r.

standpoint instead of material one
America is the big brother of other
nations"
This is speciman of the loud noise
prominent men are handing out to the
people.
BUT IS 1T TRUE?
Take for instance, the growth of
''idealism' in Louisville, the home of
DR.. Lyons. There is no question about
the increase of race prejudice since the
editor lived there thirty years ago.
Even ten years ago who would have
dreamed that in 1914 there would be
CO agitation for the formation of a.
ghetto for Afro-American, but it is
a fact. ~
If there has been any growth of
idealism in this country the Afro
American has been left out of the
equation. The "idealism" of the great
mass of the Caucasians seems to be:
What can be done to retard the real
progress of my brother of darker hue?
How can we humiliate and degrade
the race by discriminating laws? How
can we prevent him from exercising
the rights of a free man? How can
we use the Christian religion to de-
grade the race?
True idealism, true morality would
abolish Kentucky's Infamous color line
laws, jimcrow cars and ghettos.
If the Caucasian Christians of Ken
lucky are doing anything to abolish
the color line we have not heard of it.

ENGLAND FEARS
FOR DISCIPL LINING
OF HER TROOPS
List of Officers to Train Men
Decreased by Losses in
Action.

LONDON, Sept 25.3rhe military
correspondent of the Times writes
today as follows:
AN army cannot be improvised at
a moments notice and instances in
which improvisation has been at
tempted in the past have been la
mentabe failures.
Experienced officers are dubious
concerning the armies which England
is now raising at home because they
do not think they will be ready to
fight in the field for eighteen months.
and then only if they have been
trained by good professional officers.
the numbers of whom are limited and
are being constantly decreased by
losses in action.
1.-THE question of officers is a seri-
Gus one. An examination of our cas-
ualty lists shows we have lost already
over LOO officers in killed, wounded
or missing This is two out of every
five among those at the front.
More officers is the constant cry
from the front, and several hundred
have been sent, but obviously this
cannot be kept up forever. and each
officer sent is one less instructor for
the new troops. We must not allow
ourselves to become megalomaniacs
and place in the field regiments which
are unfit to defend the honor of our
armies"

KRONPR|NZ SANK
BRITISH SHIP OFF
SOUTH AMERICA
Crew of the Indian Prince, Vic
tim of Mystery" Liner, Taken
to Santos.
BY the Associated Press.

RIO JANEIRO, via London. Sept.
25.-The German steamer Prussia
has arrived at Santos and landed the
master and fifteen men of the Brit
ish steamer Indian Prince, which
was sunk by the German auxiliary
cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm.
This is the first definite news of
the Kronprinz Wilhelm, a North
German Lloyd liner. since she was
reported as having been seen trans
ferring coal to the German cruiser
Karlsruhe in West Indian waters.
British cruisers came up while the
transfer of the coal was in progress,
and the kronprinz Wilhelm took to
her heels, while the karlsruhe End
the British warships engaged in u
long-range running duel, which ap-
pears to have been without serious
results.
The Kronprinz Wilhelm sailed
from New York. ostensibly for
Bremen, on August 8. 1t was stated
after her departure that she had on
board provisions and a large store of
coal, which it was expected she
would transfer to the German cruis,
ers operating in American waters.
The North German Lloyd Company,
however, denied the report that the
steamer carried war supplies. Since
her departure from New York the
Whereabouts of the kronprinz Will
helm has been considerable of a
mystery, except in the one instance
when the British cruisers reported
that they had seen her unloading
coal at sea.
The British steamer Indian Prince,
a vessel of LIS tons, sailed from Rio
Janeiro on August 25 for Port-of-
Spain and New York.

When the stomach fails to digest
and distribute that which is eaten,
the bowels become clogged with a
mass of waste and refuse that fer

As he would give no ac-, count of himself, except that he came from Longsutton in Lincolnshire. he was held while a messenger was sent to that town to discover anything that he could about Turpin's character. The messenger returned with the news that a John Palmer had lived there and that he was once arrested for sheep stealing, but had made his escape, and that also several Of the best horses of the county had been stolen from the squiress and of this crime the same Palmer was suspected.
 Turpin was, upon this news. com rnitted to the York Castle. Alter he men came from Lincolnshire and identified some horses as their pro- perty, among those which Palmer had tried to sell. Four months later his true personality was discovered and although it could not be proved many people f1ocked to the castle to see Dick Turpin. the famous higllwayInan.
 On the 22d of March, 1739, he was tried at York ASSizes before Sir Wu-
 liam Chapple on two indictments TOT horse stealing. and upon evidence was soon committed The charges of being the highwayman. Dick Turpina and or shooting the servant of MT. Thomp-

 Smith deposed that he had known the prisoner since he was a child. that he had married one Of his fathers
 maids and that he, James Smith, had
 taught the prisoner for about nine
 months, in which time he learned from him the art of writing" He also eaid that he had sold to him gray mare the last time he had seen him. which was about live years ago. and was positively sure that the prisoner John
 Palmer, was none other than the famous Dick Turpin-

 him, Let us bung our eyes in drink at which they accordingly "bunged'

 Al first the prisoner denied this. but seeing that 1t would do him no good, he owned up. He was then convicted | of horse stealing and sentenced to death. From the time of the sentence right up to the last minute when he l jumped off the scaffold, Turpin kept
 up his spirits and. as an old writing says, was as jovial, as merry and as | frolicksome as if he had been perfect- ly at liberty and assured of an hun- dred years of prosperity to eome.H l The day before his execution he bought a new suit of clothes. which he wore to his death, shared hie money amongst the men who wert gave two pairs of shoes to a poor I woman of the town After his dea1h

Who has not heard Of Richard Turpin. the highwayman, the Jesse James" of the English boy? "The Prince of Highwaymens" as he is called, has figured in thousands of stories, in which his character is shown to be spotless. He is generous kind d-hearted and was in the habit of only stealing from the rich to give to the poor. But in the following, the true character of this man is shoWns and his life, instead of being as at tractiTe as attempts have been made to picture it. was most miserable tn it's ending.
 Turpin was born in Hampstead, Es- sex, the son of John Turpin, and put to school with a writing master, and later apprentfced to a butcher. where young he was frequently guilty of mis- derneanors and often behaved in a. dis orderly manner. Firing of his life as an apprentice, he joined notorious gang of smugglers and deer stealers who operated in Essex They soon had all the country terrorized, and they committed many atrocities, but finally, all the gang but Turpin were ar rested in an inn. he making his escape by diving through a window
 Finding the county of Essex too hot, Turpin went further north and met his 'ebest friend" Tom King, a famous highwayman, first making his ac- duaintance by trying to hold him up, while King stopped Turpin with the same intentions. Not long after, Tur- pin committed his first murder by shooting a man servant of a MT. Thompson, who tried to effect his cap- ture.
 Turpin continued at this gentle oc- cupation for about three years when in Q melee he by mistake shot King. After this. with large reward on his head, Inc travelled to Lincolnshire, where he stopped under the name of Palmer. the while posing as q country gentleman of means. He made fre- quent trips to Yorkshire, where he
 was finally apprehended- Here also he posed as a gentleman and upon every visit. he sold or exchanged many thoroughbred horses, every one being a first cIas animal.
 While staying in Borough-cave Turpin was. returning one day from shooting. which was at the beginning lof October. 173s. and seeing one oi 1 his landlords cocks in the road, he ! shot and killed it. and for this little zaisdeed ha was nut info the honse d
