STATEMENTS!

The following was printed in The
Audubon Republican Aug. 29, 1918:
1--WE have it from a reliable source
that six or eight of our pro-Germans
were out of the city Sunday to avoid
hearing Rev. j. G. Orth. in his pa
triotic address. According to the
Advocate its editor was among those
absent"
The inference could be drawn. that
l was accusing r. C. Spencer of be-
ing pro-German. This statement was
made without thinking of the gravity
of the accusation. / know of nothing
in the record of the Editor of the
Advocate that would warrant the in
ference that he was pro-German in
any way. l believe that Mr.. Spencer
is a loyal patriotic American, and
that his war activities show this to
be the case.
In another article in the same is
sue | stated that r. c. Spencer had
refused to permit Rev. Orth to speak
in Audubon. Since publishing this
statement 1 find that / was in error.
The County Council of Defense had
passed a resolution refusing to al
low the speaking of the German Ian
guage at any public meeting. Rev.
Qrth, at that time desired to hold a
public meeting and also requested
that he be allowed to speak in the
German language. 1t was for this
reason that r. G.. Spencer, as chair
man of the County Council of De-
Tense, refused to grant his request.

Don't you think she would be glad if

When she feels the Germans hot

Think of the women of Belgium;
OF the cruelties they had to bear.
Do you want the same thing to hap

You can thank God that the stars in

Because there are ten million rough
necks
That have red blood in their veins.

Here is a translation from the Ber-

all in the same vein, entitled: THE

All that are left to us are barely
and barley-groats, and a little sugar
in addition has been igranted, so
that the present sad condition of
foodstuffs may be sweetened lit
tie for us.
One need only compare cody the
simple daily menu of middle-class
citizen during the years before the
war with the present small midday"
--as it is called in Low German-in
order to recognize what we expect
today from our stomachs, and there
by from our whole bodies.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1918.
OH, LORD HOW LONG,!

The press dispatches few days ago
told that in the State Of Georgia, might
riders" are conducting campaign of
terror against colored men who are
buying automobiles with the proceeds
of their cotton crops. So serious has
the situation become that one of the
Judges has instructed the grand jury
in his district to Investigate it thor
oughly. For many years the system
of renting land to colored men has
been such that at the end of each
year when settlements were made the
poor farmers were so defrauded they
had not enough to pay the unjust
claims and they entered each new
year in debt. Now that they are max
ing money in spite Of the many handi-
caps under which they labor, they are
not allowed to use it as they choose,
these might riders" taking car own
ers and severely whipping them and
causing them to dispose of the cars
And this is the country where on of
the inalienable rights is declared by it's
constitution to be "the pursuit of hap
piness." Oh, Lord, how long!

They are continually laughing. If they
see q man in serious thought for more
than few minutes at time they
think something is wrong with him.
And, really, they have all the neces-
sary virtues right now. They love
each other, they care for each others
welfare, and they protect each other.
If one is hungry all are hungry. They
have perfect socialism.
"And they are absolutely honest

in plain view of every one in the set
Element for four years, and no one
ever touched them without permits

wouldn't remain four minutes before

"Piblockto" is the word that ex-
presses what the Eskimos think OF the
world at war, Mr.. Macmillan said. 1t
means run amuck; gone clean crazy"
The Eskimos believe that all the white

Il tried to explain" Mr.. Macmillan
said, that the war started because
, but they wouldn't believe it; they
only shook their heads and said:
No; that's impossible. There is plenty
of land for everybody When we were
getting ready to leave Eta they begged
us to remain with them. why go
back there?'-meaning civilization
they asked us, where everyone is pib
lockto? Stay here with us and be
happy"
THE APPEAL believes that the mis-
sionaries who are trying to convert
the Eskimos are "piblockto," espe
cially those from the United States
who are trying to impose the Amer
lean brand of jimcrow Christianity OF
them. If they have all of the neces
sary virtues right now, why waste tim,

FOOD CONSERVATION.

Lest we forget! We are at War,
and it is not a mere outing like the
Spanish-American War-but a serious
war in which the little things that
each person is asked to do will prove
of as special Importance as the larger
ones. You are asked to make the
small sacrifices, so that the larger
sacrifices will not be necessary.
If one-half of all the colored families
in the United States would use one
teaspoonful of sugar less in their tea
and coffee one day each week, this
little sacrifice would result in the saw
ing of 100000 pounds of sugar year.
Sugar is necessity in this war. If
one-half of our families would use one
pound of -four less each week, it
would save 100000 bushels of wheat,
, which could be sent to help feed our
soldiers and those who are fighting by
our side in this war.

WHAT FOOLS SOME MoRTALs BE-.

Every white man in Mississippi
realizes the seriousness of permitting
Negroes to roam about in the South
in the uniform of United States Army
officers" Thus runs a sentence in a
Vicksburg, Mississippi, dispatch to
the New York World. What is there
serious in this? The colored men
who have won officers commissions in
the National Army were selected be-
cause of superior intellectual qualif1-
cations, they were given the intensive
training Of the. Reserve Officers
Corps at Camp Dodge, Des Moines,
Iowa. They were commissioned only
upon merit; and there is no reason
to believe that they will fail to do
credit to the uniform which they are
entitled to wear. That a white Miss
issippian of Democratic faith should
find it a serious matter for any col
ored man to wear other than overalls
and jumper or to carry in his hand
any implement more important than
a hoe may we'll be believed. But that
there is anything Of real menace in
such thing is ridiculous.

AN AWFUL MESS.

In the course of the present inquiry
into the conduct of the war, Republi-
can members of the Senate committee
on military affairs have been scrupu-
lous to do nothing which would even
remotely indicate a disposition to
hamper or unduly to criticise the War
Department in any of its activities.
Yet, telling his story in his own way,
Gen. Crozier has presented a condi-
ton of things which the most ghoul-
ish of partisans could not have hoped
to bring out-even if the investiga-
ton had been framed for that pur-
pose. Months Of delay, millions of
added expense and almost total in
adequacy of result are the items In
the story. Small wonder that inquir-
ing Senators are Supplied by the reve-
lations of inefficiency. Small wonder
that the country is awaking to the
seriousness of the situation in which
we have been placed.

CONVERTING THE ESKIMO.

Christian missionaries seem to have
made little Roadway in converting the
Eskimo in the far north, according to
Donald B. Macmillan, head of the
Crockerland expedition, who has re-
Gently returned to New York, after
four years in the Arctic.
Mr.. Mcmillan was In daily contact
with the Eskimos. He finds them
lovable and easily managed. The
members of the expedition trusted, i'm
plicitly the little colony of six fam
lilies at Eta, base Of the expedition,
on the northeast shore of Greenland,
and never suffered a loss by theft. Yet
the same understanding of the Eski-
mo character has made Mr.. Mcmillan
skeptical as to the power of mission
airy work to better their social stand
ards
II don't believe the missionaries will
be able to change the social customs
of the Eskimos very greatly. They
are a happy, care-free, jovial people.

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 a resolute 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 British colony and the govern
