Wednesday night, the Williamstown
town team won basketball game
from the Barre independents by q
score Of Is to III. Without any doubt
this team is the best that Williams
town has put on the floor this season,
although they have never played to-
gether before. The game from the be-
ginning was fast and clean, very few
fouls being called ON either side.
Godfrey started the scoring IN the
first period by caging two spectacular
shots from beyond the middle Of the
floor. Barre then put in two and the
period ended 4 to 4. In the second PEI

Williams town, Farnham put in two
from the field and Godfrey one from
a foul: for Barre, f. Caleagni dropped
one IN from the floor and Cerasoli get

IT MUST NOT BE

The proposition to establish a play
ground for COLORED children in St.
Paul is un-American and THE AP-
PEAL is opposed to it. ..>
One of the strange phases of jim
crowism in these days in the fact that
nine-tenths of the plans to degrade
the coloreo people into a pariah class
are conceived in the brains of people
who call themselves Christians. In
the majority of cases when the COL
ored man is kicked down it is done
"for his benefit" and Gin the name of
The Lord"
No doubt some of the promoters
believe that they are doing a great
thing for the colored people of Saint
Paul but they are mistaken.
No greater evil could come to Saint
Paul, to the white people as we'll as
the colored people, than the attempt
to segregate one group Of citizens.
It is thing which will serve to in
flame the fires of race prejudice.
It is inconceivable that any COL
Ored people could so belittle them
selves as to be parties to 50 infam-
Gus scheme and it is Infamous
whether it is so intended or not. We
are glad to know that the superi1-
tendent of Fairgrounds opposes the
plan.
The decent self-respecting people
Of Saint Paul must fight the nefari-
Gus scheme to a finish. IF you are
good American you should oppose it.
1T MUST NOT BE!

"GENTLEMEN OF THE MINIMUM"

In 1917 during the world war, a num-
Der ofa~colored men were called to
meet at Washington, at the sugges-
ton of Secretary of War Baker, and
they were asked what they wanted.
The colored men drew up resolutions
stating that they really wanted moth
ing, that's what they said amounted to.
THE APPEAL, the Boston Guardian
and few other papers, under the
head Of ''Gentlemen of the Minimum"
criticised their action and stated that
that was the proper time to demand
the abolition of Jmcrowism in the
army and if it was not done at that
time, the future would show that a
great mistake had been made.
Time has proved the truth of the
contentious of THE APPEAL and the
other papers. Jimcrow lines were
rigidly drawn even on the battlefields,
the American colored soldiers were
shamefully treated, but they fought on
and many thousands gave their pre-.
cious lives to make the world safe
for democracy"
Now by strained Interpretation
of the new army bill Secretary Baker
practically excludes colored men from
entering the federalized national
guard. Instead of free men they are
to 90 in as pariahs in pioneer" seq
regated regiments.
"The gentlemen of the minimum"
ought to hang their heads in shame.

For many years we have heard a LOT
about throwing the Hammer" into the
discard and giving time to aconstruc-
tive work. " Many have said: Build
up; never tear down.

just as necessary in the economy Of

DEATH OF ABDUL BAHIA.

A cable from Haifa Syria, an
nounced the death in that city of
Abdul BAHIA Abbas, one Of the great
est men of the day and the leader of
the Bahaist movement.
Abdul BAHIA, servant of God,"
travelled through the United States in
1912 and visited St. Paul among other
places. He was the guest Of the large
congregation of Bahaists in Chicago
the latter part Of April and early in
May in 1912 and on May l, he dedi-
Gated the site at the Sheridan road
bridge in Wilmette, suburb of Chi
cago, where the Bahaists are now
building a temple costing several mil
lions Of dollars, to be the world CEN

Abdul BAHIA was born in Teheran,
Persia. He was the successor of the
Bah, gateway of knowledge" who
began about 1874 proclaiming
throughout Islam the coming of a
messenger Of God and made much
Roadway until executed at the age Of
81. The noble father Of Abdul BAHIA
was Mira Hossein Ali of Nour, a
disciple Of the Bah.

1868 to Aka. a prison city in Syria.
Forty years later the Young Turks
overthrow the despotic regime in Con-
stantinople, and Abdul BAHIA was
freed.
The death of Abdul BAHIA will be
mourned by millions Of his core
ligionists all over the world and it is
now claimed that there is at least
sc, OO0, 900 Of them, who practice as
well as preach that "of one blood God
made all nations"
There are many thousands of col
ored people in the United States who
have left orthodox Christianity and
have become Bahaists because Of hy-
procrisy Of the so-called Christians on
the color question.
Bahaism is social reform. It
aims at the freeing Of mankind from
religious, social and political yokes.

WOULD "coNvERT" THE JEWS,

Some members of the Episcopal
board Of missions favor the raising of
fund Of $1,000,0O0 for the purpose
of converting the Jews, because they
are losing faith in Judaism and be-
coming atheistic.
This move brought quick retort
from many Of the rabbis, three Of
whom we quote:
Attempts to convert the Jew
have never been successful" said
Rabbi Joseph Stolz Of Isaiah Temple,
and the thronged synagogues refute
the charge that the American Jew
is straying from his faith
Rabbi Stolz said that reports that

Thus began the Reformation which

Grassland lost son who fell fight

also said that lhe was an effective
speaker in the last campaign, in
which it was given out that the Re

Grassland deserves better treatment
at the hands Of the victors, and he
also should have refused the appoint

the same treatment as lis given to
other groups Of American citizens.
One Lasker, q Jew, was made head
of the u. S. Shipping Board. Repre-
