the jimcrow car.
The wires tell us that when Major
Motion was informed of the matter. he
condoned it saying that he respected
the traditions of the South and had no
resentment against the people who
committed the outrage"
THE APPEAL has no hesitancy in
saying that if Major Motion is quoted
correctly and feels that way that he
is unified for the presidency of an
institution which is designed to fit col

be the basis of all training.
What more is needed to make a. man

A being who would not defend his wife
against every foe is unworthy to be
called a man. Even among the lower

The acquittal of the officers of the
Riggs National Bank ought to be
pleasing to all decent men. And the
jury 'deliberated only nine minutes.
This is a deserved rebuke to Comp
troller of the Currency Williams, who
endeavored to have the officers con-
victed of perjury. Then four days
later the District Supreme Court held
that Comptroller Williams may not re-

Senator Newlands of Nevada is an
ardent suffrage supporter. He called

and suggested way of winning the
South to the cause. He said:
1T strikes me that it would be a
good scheme for the suffragists to

said. "This would win over the South,
which now feels that the Negro should
not have been enfranchised and is op-
posed to it's women getting into poll

strong feeling against the yellow races
ever having the vote. Hence with a
straight-cut declaration for a party of
