Advertising is Discussed From
 Seasonal Angle

The importance of analyzing the field to a man who has a product to place in a territory was brought out in talks before the Ad club at the regular weekly meeting at the Hotel Pines yesterday by T. Sorrells De- woody and P. w. Quillian, who took as the subject of their discourse, "Analyzing the Field" In determin- ing how much of product to req sonably expect to place in terri tory during the year, just what sea- sons are best for pushing an article, and how to line up the prospective dealers, it was necessary, they stat ed, to thoroughly know the field, this knowledge to be gained by critical analysis following the lines stated.
 A motion which placed the Ad club on record as favorably disposed toward the coming Y. w. c. A. drive, introduced by M. S. Pogue, was pass ed.
 Otto Hauber, local theater man, who has been spending a vacation of about two months touring in the North and East, told the club mem- bers some of his experiences while away, and gave them resume of the various advertising he had en- countered. An advertisement he spoke of, which might be classed as poor advertisement, was in the mat ter of the roads he drove over. Ex- cepting in few states, he said, he found the roads poor.

VICTORY OF 6. O.P.
 MEANS LARGE ARMY
 sAND TAXES-M'ADOO
Former Secretary Treasury Declares Compulsory Mili- tary Training May Come

Cleveland, O., Oct. 14.-A Republi- can victory at the polls next month means rejection of the league of na- tions and the isolation of the United States conscription for raiding and maintaining large army and navy and big increase in taxes, VT. G McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury declared in an address here tonight.
 Speaking in the interest of Cox and Roosevelt, MT. McAdoo advocated this country's entry into the league stressing what he described as the leagues effect on world finances and economy.
 He said that the national debts of tie chief belligerants of the war; in c1uding the United States, had been estimated at $238, 8,50O, ,OOO ,OO0.
 Staying out of the league and playing lone hand means that we cannot reduce the burdens of taxa ton" he declared.
 "It will also mean universal mili- tary training, which is disguise or soothing term for what is unpopular ly known as conscription. We were Justified in adopting conscription as war measure.
 Describes Position
 "It is an interesting fact that Sen ator Harding has declared himself a believer in universal and compulsory service, ofttimes referred to as con scription.'
 "The nations of Europe owe the American people more than S1O,OO0,- 000,00O. for money loaned to aid in prosecution of war against the cen tral powers. In recent speech Sen ator Harding intimated that he would rather see this debt cancelled, or for given our foreign debtors than allow them to work it out through ex- change of goods and commodities.
 He suggests an increase in the tar riff to such high point that Europe will not only be unable to pay the debt but by practically stopping inn portation will make it impossible for her to buy our surplus products.
 'This would be policy of the ut most stupidity so far as the interests of the Americae peSple are concerned but it would be beneficial policy for big business and selfish interests dhich, of course, would profit by hay ing complete control of our domestic market, but the farmer with his grain and cotton would suffer more than he already has suffered through de. cline in our export trade."

MT. Roberts said the present situ- ation is due to the aggregate de- mand for credit by all the industries and all lines of business beyond the ability of the banking system to supply.'
 "The restriction of credit is re- sponsible for the decline of wheat and cotton," the speaker asserted "The poverty of the world, the low buying power of Europe and the high exchange rates are the principal fac tors in the break of these prices.
 ''The situation calls for patient CO operation all around.

SOUTH STILL IN SADDLE.

1t is with considerable regret and
chagrin that we note the defeat of
the amendment to the Esch railroad
bill offered by Congressman Madden
of Illinois, designed to do away with
the Jim crow accommodations now
supplied to colored> people on rail
roads in the south.
a. The Jim crow law never should have
been conceived, much less enacted, as
1t is absolutely WRONG and caters to
a, prejudice as wrong as itself. =
Once, some years ago, it will be
remembered, there we're several COL
ored members of Congress elected by
the majority vote in thir several dis
tricts. just as the members of the
present Congress were but if those
men were living now, they would not
be allowed to travel in the South
without being Inundated and out
ragged by being forced into Jim crow
cars just because they had visible
admixture of. African blood in their
composition. The present Congress
had an opportunity to correct this
great wrong but refused to do SO. be.
cause the southern members did not
want it. -. ...s.~
There is majority of members in
the present Congress who are men,
bers of the Republican party, the
party of Lincoln, Sumner; Phillips,
Roosevelt, etc, presumably advocates
of justice to all men, and the most
faithful allies oftthat party had good
reason to- expect Justice at their
hands. .<..Es>- p; g..

REvIvlNe- WAR INSURANCE

Soldiers and sailors who have al
lowed their war insurance. to lapse
should take note of the new treasury
decision whereby men out of service
eighteen months or more may rein
state their policies up to Dec. 81, 1919,
on payment Of two months premiums,
provided they are still insurable ply
sically.
Many of these po]icyholders have
dropped their. insurance because they
are young and without dependents.
But beyond question most Of them
will some day be married and have
dependents and will need insurance.
Life insurance is regarded today by
our most substantial citizens as the
necessary equipment of every man Of
family, and many banks are publicly
advocating it as a measure of thrift.
These boys of the army and navy
can never again get insurance as
cheaply as it is offered by the govern
ment, and the terms for reinstatement
are exceedingly liberal. 1t would be
the. part of wisdom for these boys to
get their policies launched now and
at least partly paid for while they are
unburdened, financially, by family.

Wesley Stovall, former slave.
Stovall was cook in the Union army
during the Civil war after which he
lived in Chicago. Later he moved to
Winona and made small fortune in
the restaurant business. In his palmy
days he bought a lot in Woodlawn
cemetery and erected a monument
over his grave site costing $1,000.
Stovall, like some others, had another
hobby, which was attending presiden-
tial inaugurations. He first attended
the inauguration of President Grant
and has been present at every inaugu-
ration since,~ until, perhaps, Wilson's
he having been blind for several years.
He was 80 years old and unmarried.

day insists that every man should have
some hobby. Well say that Stovall
had his.

WILL NOT WAIVE RlchTs.

+ Venal colored men in Chicago at.
tempted to sell out the colored people
but they were promptly rebuked by
the decent self-respecting people. T.
An organization known as the Ken
w9od and Hyde. Park Property own
ers Association held a meeting to pre-.
pare plans to segregate the colored
people or at least to drive them out
OF the Hyde Park section. The color.
ed people were characterized as "un.
desirables," ''coons," "darkies," etc.,
by speakers who were appealing to
the prejudices of the Southerners who
composed about nine-tenths of the
audience. 49,.
Then another meeting was called
and a few venal jimcrow Negroes
were on hand who tried to sell out
their race. The whole plan was an
Infamous one. The colored men who
were in: the plot were the hirelings
of the Hyde Park whites and hoped
to make lot of money out of the
scheme, but the community made it so
hot for the would-be traitors that they
did not attend the second meeting
with the whites. There were only
six colored men who agreed to segre-
gate themselves and they have long
been known as jimoroWi61.
An attempt was made to buy out
Rev: John F. Thomas, pastor of Eben-
ezer Baptist Church, whose congrega-
ton has purchased a Jewish Temple

he says that his congregation will

ments have been completed.

THE BOYS CLUB FEDERATION.

THE APPEAL is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. Frank G. Patchen, Of
the Boys Club Federation bureau of
1nformation), 10 West 10th Street,
New YORK, N. Y, asking for it's CO.
operation in the efforts of the Fedora
ton to solve the vita, problem Of the
"under-privileged" boy, one of the
greatest human problems that our
country is facing. He states that in
no sense does the work of the or
ganization conflict with that of the
Church. On the contrary, it is an
aid to the Church, reaching material
that neither the Church nor Church
clubs can successfully reach and with
out bias, placing that material in the
hands of the Churches for spiritual
guidance, distributing to each Church
it's own, r'WITHOUT REGARD TO
RACE, CREED OR COLOR"
Elsewhere in our: columns we pub
lish an article that tells of the Fedora
ton and it is hoped that some Of our
good citizens will interest themselves
to the extent of writing to Mr.. Patchen
to learn the plans upon which the de:
sired cooperation may be given.
