BRUCE GRIT FILES STRONG DEMURRER
AGAINST MOTIONS METHODS

pant Of the Jim Crow" coaches dur
ing times of peace.
The pity Of the whole despicable
business is that our country is not
great enough to live up to it's own
constitution, not noble enough to fol-
low the precepts of it's own Christian
lty! 1t basely bows to the caprice
OF prejudice and condemns it's own
citizens to scorn, contempt and humili-
alton. The burden of this petty pass
port problem need not be placed on
the shoulders Of France, for that glor-
1ous country has ever been great
enough to honor and protect it's citi-
zens, regardless of race, regardless
OF color. The tint of the skin, the
curl of the hair, has never been the
badge of humiliation in La Belle,
France; and 80 in her time of need,
gloriously did her sable sons rally to
her support. The day will come when
America on Bonded knee will cry for
help. Will there still remain forgiy-
ing black sons to come to her aid.
or will they all have been brutally
done to death by the mob, the tree.

"AMERlCANIZATlON."

Since the war there has been a lot
of talk in the papers about "Ameri-
canlzation" and it is important that
every person in the United States
should be taught the essentials of
good citizenship.
This does not apply solely to for
elgners but to many of American
birth. For instance, in the southern
tier OF states, large numbers Of peo-
pie have no conception of American
citizenship. Many of the leading citi-
zens are so busy with lynching and
other deviltry that they lose sight of
the essentials of American citizen.

WISE SPENDING.

Are you a wise spender? Wise
spending is regarded as a highly i'm
portant preliminary to thrift by the
U. 8. Treasury. AS part of it's cam
paign for promoting popular savings
through Thrift and War Savings
Stamps during 1919; it has issued
through its Savings Division the fol-
lowing definition of wise spending,
which merits the thoughtful attention
OF every family and every individual
who would get ahead in life:
Wise spending implies the balanc-
ing of all needs and of all means of
meeting these needs and, after bal
ancing needs against means, spending
in such way as to meet the most
urgent needs, even if lesser ones have
TO be left unsatisfled; in essence it
means sort of budget-making. When
family, city or state makes a budget,
what 1t does essentially is to take a
comprehensive view of both needs and
income. 1t is important that not all
the income be spent on the first needs
that may occur lest other more urgent
needs appear and no funds be left to
meet them; that is, thought must be
taken so that available income can be
applied intelligently and wisely to
cover most important needs and to
satisfy them somewhat in proportion
to their relative Importance.
Perhaps the most important and
difficult problem in connection with
wise spending Cor saving) is to real
ize the relative Importance Of future
as compared with present needs. The
temptation of all OF us is to satisfy
present needs at the neglect of future
needs. 1t is very foolish to neglect
the urgent necessities of today for the
petty wants of the morrow, but few
need very much persuasion to induce
them to take care of the present.
Where most of us are foolish or un-
wise is in satisfying petty wants of
the present rather than saving in or
der that urgent needs of the future
can be met"

SHAM DEMOCRAClES.

Some of the new so-called republics
of Europe which are being brought
into existence by the Peace Congress
are fakes and do not deserve to sue.
coed. Their pretentions of democracy
are shams.
There is now in Europe a commits
sion of Jews from the United States
and they have just made public in
New York, eye witness reports of the
sufferings of Jews throughout Europe
and the east.
Hunger, disease, persecution, and
privation is working a. frightful toll
on the Jews in Poland, Czecho-Slo-
vakia, Greece, Serbia, Turkey, Syria,
Palestine and Siberia.
Anti-Semitic feeling is especially
strong in Czecho- Clovakia. Jewish
shops are looted and Jews officially
disseminated against.

I'VE must have unskilled labor
said Mr.. Bowers. Immigrants of the
past generations who have done our
heavy labor are graduating into the
skilled class. Their children refuse
to touch the pick and shovel. The
work must be done. Only Japan and
China can furnish the labor. There.
fore Japanese and Chinese will come
coolies and all, and they will come
unrestrictedly, overriding every OBJ
stacle
II believe they will intermarry
with our people as do other immi
grants. Frequently now Japanese
and Chinese students marry our uni
versity girls"

JEWS OPPOSE A SEGREGATED
NATION.

Short-sighted colored men who are
talking about a negro republic in
Africa, and forgetting to agitate for
reform in the treatment of 100000
colored citizens of the United States,
ought to know that prominent non
Zionist Jews from all parts of the
United States have sent with Presi-
dent Wilson to the peace conference
their objections to the Zionist demand
for a Jewish state in Palestine.
The petition was handed to the
President by Congressman Kahn on
February S. There were 988 names
on the petition representing the rich
est and most prominent Hebrews in
the country. Il
The objections to the establishment
of Jewish Homeland in PALESTINE
are set forth under four specific head
ings, the chief one OF which is that
'the Jews are dedicated heart and
soul to the countries in which they
dwell under free conditions"
"All Jews" the petition states, IRE
pudiate every suspicion of a double
allegiance, but to our minds it is nee
essarily implied in and cannot by any
logic be eliminated from the estab
lishment Of sovereign state for the
Jews
The petition also states that "by the
large part taken by them in the great
war, the Jews have once and for al
| shattered the base aspersions of the
! anti-Semites, who charged them with
being aliens in every land, incapable
| of true patriotism, and prompted onl.
by sinister and self-seeking motives
1t says that those who would seel
| the establishment of Jewish sover
! eign state and yet insist on thei1
! patriotic attachment to the countrie.
of which they are citizens, are self
deceived in their professions OF Zion
ism, and under a spell of emotiona
romanticism or OF a religious senti
ment fostered through centuries o
| gloom"
| If the Jews representing to a grea
extent the leadership in commerce
| and industry and the money power o
the World are opposed to "jimcrow'
| state, why should not colored men pro
! test against segregation in every
| form?

not lessen the taxes due to extravagant

There are more ways of killing a

OF 1ntolerable conditions here, that

shield of the Missionary Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal Church"
which is working up a scheme to get
Southern colored people to plant cot
ton In Gods Acreage" and contribute
the money to the missionary fund OF
$120,000,000 which it is planned to
raise.
THE APPEAL does not believe that
the colored people should give one
penny to aid the Methodist Episcopal
Church until it reverses it's present
jimcrow policy.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
split into two branches over the ques-
ton of slavery, but now the Northern
and Southern branches are to come
together again at the centenary. The
weakened Northern men have given
In to the aggressive Southerners and
have agreed to sacrifice their colored
members who have been asked to
form Jim crow church. So far the
colored members have refused to get
out, but they may perhaps be kicked
out.
The Methodist Episcopal Church has
given up all ideas of the Brotherhood
of God and the Brotherhood of Man."

that the brethren will recount the
wonderful thing the church has done
for the negro" and all will join in
singing "Onward, Christian Soldier"

BEES WORK TO KEEP WARM
Another Example of the Remarkable
intelligence Displayed by the Lii
tie Gatherers Of Honey.

The bee uph0lds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as during the summer, Being suscept-
lble to cold, the bee must have some
means of supplying warmth.
II was found by experiment that
only the shell of the cluster made by
the bees In cold weather Is compact.
This is formed by one Of several lay
ers of bees all solidly arranged with
their heads inward, their hairs inter
lacing.
This arrangement is perfect for con
servation of the heat within. Except
for an occasional shift of positions the
bees forming the shell are quiet. But
within the shell strange things are go
ing on.
1t is here that the heat is gen
Grated. And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so that there is plenty OF
space for many bees to be exercising
at time. Rapid tanning of the wings
shaking the body from side to side
rapid breathing, and other movements
are all parts Of the scheme for rails
ing the temperature.
In one particular instance, when q
bee had been rapidly tanning with his
wings for seven and half minutes the
thermometer nearest him registered
90 degrees Fahrenheit.

GEM THEATRE WILL
AGAIN OPEN MAY |

The Gem theatre will open Thurs.
day, May and be open every evening
thereafter, also every Saturday and
Sunday matinee Prices at the Gem
will always be 10 and 20 cents, includ-
ing war tax. On and after May l
prices at the Liberty will be Il cents
for children and 25 cents fer adults
the same AS all the first class houses
in Portland are now charging. This
additional charge is made necessary by
the new five per cent tax on film
rentals as well as the additional 600
per cent? increase in theatre seating
taxes. The Liberty will show all its
attractions, irrespective of their length
or cost, at these prices and prices Will
always remain the same except for
rare cases such as some Of the blg
state rights attractions where The
theatre is leased outright to the own
ers Of the picture.
Contracts have already been signed
for all the new Paramount and Art
craft features, Fox Victory pictures,
Select. Metro, and Vitagiap featuI es
and Sunshine, Mack Sennett, Fatty
Arbuckle. Montgomery Flagg, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sidney Drew and Big V two reel
comedies. The Hearst News, the
Brady Photographs and the Burton
Homes Travelogs also will be shown at
one or the other of the two houses.
Both the motion picture machines at
the Gem have been completely over
hauled and when this theatre opens it
will show the best of the program re-
leases obtanahle today. The Liberty
will specialize in big attractions such
as are seen at the Liberty, the Peoples
and the Majestic in Portland. and the
Gem will show the plays shown at the
Star and the Columbia.
Darwin and William Wood will fur
nish the music at the two theatres and
the public can rest assured that the
best that money can buy in the way OF
attractions will be offered at the two
theatres. Definite announcement OF
the opening program at the Gem will
be given later.

Introducing the MonocIe.

One interesting thing about the
mOnocle Is that the fashion of wearing
1t was introduced at the Congress of
Vienna, that congress which remade
the map of Europe and, in the opinion
of many laid the mines whose explO-
sion was the great war. Sir Horace
Rumhold, in writing on the subject Of
the origin of odd fashions and Gus
toms, said that a Dutch exquisite,
Jonkheer Breele, was the first man to
wear monocle, and that he showed
the then brand new fad to the diplo-
mats and others assembled at the con
gress. After that introduction the fad
spread to all parts of Europe, but it
took it's deepest hold on the English
well-to-do classes.

TEMPORARY MASK OF WISDOM
Even Most Foolish Man Has Look Of
Intelligence When He 10 Light
ing . Pipe.

Why Is IL that man always looks so
intelligent when he is lighting his
pipe2
Probably ii is because the intake OF
breath which is necessary to start
proper combustion causes a drawing
up of his brows, wrlnkling of the
forehead a concavity of the cheeks
and pickering of the mouth, all of
which produces an owlish and oracu-
lar demeanor. This mask of wisdom
and soberness, when brightly lit by the
match flame which leaps up and down
over the bowl of the pipe, has dis
mayed many timid observer. We
know that our friend, like ourself, was
but well-nourished simpleton whose
mind, even If spread at its thinnest,
could not shelter more than one-tenth
of his doings with common sense How
came 1t, then, that this simple act
of laying fire to dried vegetation could
50 uplift and ensage him?
Whenever man lights his pipe his
mind seems born anew In other
words, it leaps back into the vast ocean
of simple absurdity whence most of
our minds come trickling. The mo.
mentary right aives him time to think,
and he starts afreSh upon argument
rebuttal and contradiction. And inev-
itably he says something particularly
otic.--EXChange
