WASN'T DOWN SOUTH.
So He Got His For Butting In.

Early Friday morning of last week
N. H. Casey, kid" Rollins and Rolla
Beard boarded the 200 a. m. Interur-
ban, car to go to their homes as is
their usual custom. Beard was near
est to the gates as they were opened
and of course Immediately got on the
car to give others a chance behind
him. 1t seems that some southern
white man and his girl were just be-
hind him. Beard went in the car and
took vacant seat The rabid south
erner went to where Beard was sit
ting and cursed him outrageously and
said what they would do to him if
they were down south for daring to
enter a car before a white woman.
Beard said nothing of any consequence
but another white man from Texas
butted in and proceeded ito abuse
Beard and told him to take off his eye
glasses so he could smash him in the
face. AS Boards assailants we're con-
siderably intoxicated they became
noisy and boisterous. At this juncture
Casey and Rollins drew near Beard.
The Texan aimed blow at Rollins
who side stepped and smashed him
in the eye. They clinched and riot
was imminent. Windows of the car
were broken by the excited passengers,
Casey then took hand and held the
crowd at bay and was joined by the
conductor and motorman. A police
man got on the car and arrested the
rabid Texan and Rollins. Casey went
to the station with Rollins who put up
bail and was Immediately released.
The rabid Texan was incarcerated in
cell as he had no bail. money and
no friends with any. The next morn
ing the beligerents were hailed into
the police court and Judge Finehout
after hearing the testimony of the
conductor and motorman, who said
Rollins acted on the defensive, dis
charged him and then read lecture
to the rabid Texan and then fined him
SO for disorderly conduct.
The rabfd southerner who was the
cause of the trouble sneaked of to
the end of the car where the trouble
began, like cur that he was.
It is very strange that so many
white men seem to, think that they
can insult and assault with impunity
[eaceably inclined men who by the will
Of God are born with darker skins
than themselves Every once in a.
while they are painfully brought to
see the fallacy of their ideas. It's
dollars to doughnuts the rabid Texan
in this case has learned a much needed
lesson. 100.
Judge Finehout is to be commended
for the spirit Of Justice and fairness
that ,actuated him.
The manly action of Casey and Roll
Inns is also deserving great praise as
they doubtless prevented what might
have been q terrible fracas.
It pays to stand up manfully for
your rights under any and all circum-
stances.

Tri-State Service.

The Tri-State telephone service is
being installed in the office of THE
APPEAL and at the Editors residence,
so that hereafter our office and home
will be accessible through their ex-
change and we will be right in line
for the new automatic service which
Is near at hand. THE APPEAL man
visited the Tri-State offices recently
and through the courtesy of Manager
Williams witnessed practical demon
stration of the innumerable benefits
the two million dollar investment of
the company is making for the further
improvement of it's service, which has
always been of the highest Standard
Mr.. l.. D. Brewer, the colored repre-
sentative of the company has worked
out plan for the harmonious transfer
OF large numbers to the improved
service without expense or inconven-
fence. He has issued circular letter
which merits the careful perusal of
every one who receives the same. Mr..
Brewer is the son of Mr.. Jesse Brewer,
retired Kansas farmer who, last year
was appointed by Governor Capper as
a delegate to represent the state at the
California Fair. His sister, Miss L. c..
Brewer is proprietor of the Brewer
Cafe at Mackinac Island, Mich,
which for the past five years has hand
led the bulk Of the high class cafe
business of that famous resort. His
brother, Mr.. G. E. Brewer is proprietor
of the Lethbridge Exchange, Leth-
bridge, Alberta and has the only pawn
brokers' license in Southern Alberta.
He conducts the largest furniture es-
tablishment of it's kind in that prov
ince. Mr.. Brewer is working to earn
funds with which to purchase live
stock for a 1926 acre farm which he
acquired through six years of home
stealing hardship's in Southern AL
berta. He has tided over the adver-
sites of pioneer life for the past nine
years and should have loyal support
in his present work. Not out of SYM
pathy, but because he represents a
business proposition whereby we get
better returns for our dollars, take
a step forward in the line of progress,
experience no inconvenience, and our
social institutions that need money
badly will be given substantial aid for
their cooperation in his plans.

Christians in the world, was split in.
twain in it's thirty-fifth annual ses-
sion in Chicago last September over
the question of a charter and other
administrative affairs. Since the
Chicago convention two factions have
been trying to settle their differences
in court. Expensive litigations over
the ownership of valuable publish
ing, plant at Nashville, Tenn, are now
going on.
The conservative, as we'll as the
men of constructive power, have been
trying to devise plan to reunite the
great organization. A most important
meeting looking to that end has just
been held in Washington, D. G. A
strong peace memorial was prepared
and will be presented next week to
the executive board of the two con-
ventions.
Washington is to be the headquar-
tiers of the peace movement. The
Rev. w. H. Jernagin was elected
chairman, and Miss Mamie H. Bur-
roughs the secretary of the publicity
committee.

PLUTocRATs> DOING HARM.

Says the Saturday Evening Post:
"The modern plutocratic ideal is to
soar far away from the common lot
and then voloplane gracefully back to
it. Why take the trouble to soar at
all? Why not distribute the millions
for the common veal before they are
collected in the capacious individual
reservoir"
Many Of the men who have made
great fortunes by questionable methods
in some cases, and in nearly every
case, by paying employees low wages.
Carnegie made a great fortune and
is now aiding race prejudice by en-
downing jimcrow libraries in the South
and Rosenwald the Jewish multimil-
lionaire is using some of his money to
aid the Christians in proving that their
religion is a fake by building Jim crow

LYNCHlNG THE CAUSE.

The appalling frequency of what
may be called unnatural crimes is
often the subject of remark these
days. The case of the Updike broth
ers at Chicago, who confessed plotting
the murder of father, mother and
sister that they might inherit the
family property at once; the charge
brought against John Edward Teiper
in connection with the mysterious
shooting near Buffalo, of which his
mother, brother and sister were VIC
TINS; the young university student
who is alleged to have given a quick
poison to his sweetheart at Lake For
est, and to have calmly watched her
passing; the attempt at wholesale
poisoning of Catholic prelates and
priests at Chicago last week are re-
cent incidents in what appears to be
an unusual and peculiarly devilish cpl
demic of crime, directed against those
who, through ties Of blood and tender
ness and respect IL not reverence,
should be safe from such assaults.

DIFFERENTIATION,

The basic need in America at this
moment, and for many years to come,
is the fusion of our heterogeneous
population into an American entity,
If we fought a. civil war to prevent
geographical division, we should find
it worth while now to make some
deliberate and mighty effort to pre-
vent more insidious and fatal d.
vision. This effort should not be
spasmodic and sporadic. It should be
persistent and sweeping.
The foregoing from the Chicago
Tribune hits the nail on the head.
And it is especially necessary for
the colored people to stop trying to
segregate. The colored person who
advocates jimcrowism in church or
state is an enemy of the Nation.

The Congress on Christian Work in
Latin America met in Panama re-
Gently. The congress" is composed
principally of Protestants from the
United States, whose idea is that they
can make converts among the Catho-
lies in Central and South America. It
is an inherently wrong plan, because
the Latin Americans are already
Christians and members of the Catho-
lie church. Why expend money to
change them from one sect to another.
Certainly the Catholic religion which
draws no racial line in Latin America
is superior to the color-line cursed
Professionalism of the United States.

AGAINST PROHIBITION.

Although an advocate of temperance,
Cardinal Gibbons denounced in strong
terms the proposed statewide pro-
hibition bill now pending in the Mary
land legislature.
Here is what Cardinal Gibbons had
to say on the question:
II am strongly opposed to any
statewide prohibition bill being
passed by the, legislature because
believe that such a law is impossible
of enforcement in a. city the size of
Baltimore and it's environs.
"Such being the case a. law of this
kind interferes with personal liberty
and rights and creates hypocrisy in
the people.
"The story of the world down to the
present time demonstrates the fact
that people always have and always
will indulge in the use of intoxicating
liquors." -.

Says Army and Navy Haven't Enough
Men to Enforce Prohibition Laws.

New York. City, N. Y.-Mr. Hugh
F. Fox, the wellknown publicist,
spoke few Sunday evenings ago at
the SUNDAY EVENING FORUM of
the FREE SYNAGOGUE, of which DR..
Stephen S. Wise, the Jewish orator, is
Rabbi and Leader, on the subject,
1.-THE Futility of Prohibition"
Mr.. Fox pointed out that in the nine
teen states which now have prohibi-
ton, the people are inclined to drink
inferior spirits rather than the lighter
beverages which they could get in
license state. The fact that beer and
wine were too difficult to conceal on
account of their bulk explained it, he
said. So =
Speaking of National prohibition,
Mr.. Fox declared that a. prominent
Government official had once told him
that to enforce national prohibition
would require police force as large
as our army and navy put together.

A SPELL OF SPELLING

CONSIDERING the poor spelling
~ to be found in letters and other
communications these days. and the
constant query from persons suppos.
edly we'll informed as to how to spell
this or that. the present revival of the
spelling bee through klamath county
is highly welcome. II the study of
photography should decline for anoth-
er decade as 1t has during the last ten
years, there would be several thous-
and methods Of simplified spelling
each person spelling as he saw fit.
This woeful lack of knowledge Of
spelling has become noticeable in
many professions and callings. Sew
eral teachers have failed when given
written tests, and many writer's. min
listers, lawyers. printers and others
who are constantly called upon to
write. must have a dictionary near
them at all times to guide them.
