CAST NO PEARLS TO SWINE.
It is claimed that an eleventh hour
effort is under way to supplant Hen
iy C. Wallace of Des Moines, for
secretary of agriculture in the Hard
ing cabinet, with a Southern man as
a means, of fortifying the foothold
gained by the Republicans in the
solid South. Senator Watson of In
diana has gone to Florida, it is re*
ported, to urge the appointment of
ex-Senator Marion Butler of North
Carolina/ It is devoutly hoped that
Senator Watson will fail in his un
dertaking Every time Republicans
have a chance they try to placate
the unplacatable South.
EFFECT OF PROHIBITION IN
ST. PAUL.
While THE APPEAL is not an
aident advocate of Prohibition, it
believes that along some lines, there
has been much reduction in crime
under prohibition laws.
The research specialist of "The
Board of Temperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals of the Methodist Epis
copal Church" has made a report of
what he found, here as follows:

In 1919 the arrests for drunken

whole number of arrests in 1920 they
were only 22 per cent of the total
number ,and a falling off of 661 per

police stations and jail, less suffering
and disgrace to wives and children
and oftimes less ,men later in the
workhouse and penitentiary
The increase burglary can be ac
counted for by men trymg to break
into cellars and drug stores, where
they thought they might find drink.
The increase in vagrancy is pos
sibly caused by some of the men not
having saloons to spend the night
and were compelled to spend their
time upon the streets.
HONOR GIVEN WHERE IT'S DUE.
THE APPEAL acknowledges the
receipt of an invitation to a com
phmentaiy banquet to be given to
Dr Charles Edwin Bentley, D. S
at Vincennes Hotel Chicago, Monday
evening, February 21, by a number of
dentists, physicians and citizens of
Chicago.
We know of no man in Chicago
more entitled to receive such a recog
nition of merit than Dr. Bentley
He has published thirty-one contri
butions to dentistry, has delivered
lectures all over this country There
are also on record in various Dental
Journals discussions of more than
fifty papers by Dr. Bentley.
He is an honorary (member of the
THE IMMIGRANT QUESTION.
The hordes of foreigners who
planning to come to this country, if
possible, are a menace to the oppor
tunities of the native born colored
working people who should be pro
tected by appropriate legislation.
Two suggestions have been offered
with respect to proposed immigration
legislation, in addition to the per
centage basis submitted by Senator
Dillingham. One is that the number
of immigrants permitted to enter
from any particular country be gov
erned, as far as possible, by the per
centage of that element of immigra
tion which over a period of, say, the
five years immediately preceding the
war sought to be naturalized, the
number to be regulated at the tei
mination of each fiveor ten-year
period. Government statistics should
be available for such solution. An
other suggestion is to compel each

naturalized, without which he could
not be employed. This would pro
vide a source of Federal revenue and
subject the immigrant to taxation
which he now escapes If it is worth
coming here to work, it is worth
paying for the privilege, and those
races which take no interest in this
country other than to receive high
wages and then return should be
penalized for their indifference to
American institutions. The colored
people all are citizens and taxpayers,
and their interests should not be
overlooked^
WOULD "CONVERT" TH E JEWS.
Some members of the Episcopal
boara of missions favor the raising of
a fund of $1,000,000 for the purpose
of converting the Jews, "because they
are losing faith in Judaism and be
coming atheistic
This move brought a 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
the Episcopal Church might be in
duced to appropriate large sums for
Christianizing the Jew were too ri
diculous to discuss.
Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Tem
ple Sholom declared that Judaism
was stronger than it had ever been
and that the American Jew was one
of its greatest factors.
In Europe they have had for hun
dreds of years, a great way of "con
verting" the Jews by surrounding the
ghettos and murdering men, women
and children. In Hungary, recently,
of Jews have professed
Christianity to save the lives of them
selves and families, but all of the cer
tificates of baptism were overprinted
in red, "Not good in case of pogroms
are(massacres)."
THE MAN WHO DARES
I honor the man who in the consci
entious discharge of his duty dares to
stand alone the world, with ignorant,
intolerant judgment, may condemn,
the countenances of relatives may be
averted, and the hearts of friends grow
cold, but the sense of duty done shall
be sweeter than the applause of the
world, the countenances of relatives or
the hearts of friends.Charles Sumner.
The Jews of the United States will
not rush to Christianity because they
know that American Christians would
then segregate them and compel them
to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch
them just as they have their colored
brethren.
"NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WH O
WON'T SEE."
Representative Clark of Florida,,
speaking before the House census
committee, denounced the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People as an organization
composed of "Meddling, fussing" per
sons who "are working on IGNORANT
Negroes of the South to keep them
selves in good positions." Mr. Clark
needs a lot of information about the
N. A. A. C. P. which he seems not to
have, and his denunciation certainly
shows his ignorance and color preju
diceanother evidence of ignorance.

FETE ^FOR^NAPOLEON
United Staters Asked to Join in
Great Celebration.
Foch at Head of French Committee
Arranging for Observance of
Death Anniversary.
New York.American participation
in the celebration by France of the
hundredth anniversary of th^e death
of Napoleon on May 5 next, was in
vited here by Prof. William Mulli
gan Sloane of Princeton, N. J., speak
ing for the French committee headed
by Marshal Foch. A feature of the
affair whose objects, it is stated, are
"to bind up the 'wounds of France,"
will be a great exhibition of Napoleon
ic relics at Malmaison, France, to
which collections will be loaned from
all parts of the world.
Professor Sloane, who for 42 years
held the chair of history at Princeton,
and latterly at Columbia university,
said that French statesmen, soldiers
and men of law and letters as well as
other professions compose the commit
tee which is arranging the centennial.
"Making all allowance for every se
vere criticism of Isapoleon's career,"
he continued, "it is still true that his
work unified France, saved it from
partition among its foes and in civil
life prepared alike the foundation and
structure of the society which the
World war saved France and helped
to save all western civilization.
"It was by his impulse and guid
ance that the financial credit of
France was restored, that the mag
istracy and administration took defi
nite shape, that the civil code was
promulgated, the Bank of France cre
ated, the University of France mod
eled on that of the state of New York
and the council of state organized.
"He made private property safe,
opened public charges, great and
small, to all classes founded schools,
colleges and secondary schools, built
magnificent highways, dug an elabo
rate system of internal waterways,
improved transportation of every sort
and, above all, reorganized in his in
stitutions the commanding position of
belles-lettres, the fine arts and nat
ural science. The superb inheritance
of order, progress and prosperity
which he bequeathed made the France
of 1914.
"The French committee especially
desires American participation by con
tributions, by the loan of Napoleona
from American collections and, above
all, the moral support of intelligent
Interest on this side of the Atlantic."
MAKES CLOCK I N 25 YEARS
Workman of Delaware, O., Evolves
Elaborate Hand-Carved Affair
From Walnut.
Delaware, O.After 25 years of
tedious labor, C. C. Cregmile has com
pleted his construction of a grandfa
ther's clock here.
The clock, on display in a local
store window, is hand carved. It was
made out of solid black walnut which
formerly constituted part of a pulpit
in the old William Street Methodist
church here.
All polishing, carving and fitting
was done at odd moments by Mr.
Cregmile.
Standing eight feet six inches high,
the clock is beautifully carved on its
sides and face panels. All cutting Is
original. No design was followed.
Mr. Cregmile, although offered good
money for the unique masterpiece,
nasi offered to sell it for a relatively
email sum to the William street
church. The clock is built so that it
will house cathedral tubular chimes.
i Heir So Popular i
Loses Job as Janitor
Maiden, Mass. William
Hanson, who says he is heir to
a quarter of a million dollai s,
lost his job as janitor in a drug
store because of the sudden
popularity that followed an
nouncement of his inheritance.
He said that he had deter
mined to get away from the
madding crowd by finding work
as steeple jack, but had been
forced to compromise by getting
a job as roofer's helper.
Since Hanson announced that
he had received word that he
was *heir to one-seventh of the
estate of James Moore of Chi
cago, an uncle, the telephoie
bell ins the drug store has
jangled much of the day, post
men have delivered bulky mail
and callers claiming relationship
have left him no time for his
broom and shovel.

Didn't Get Much for Winning.
Walton, Ky.Rivalry over the speed
of their machines caused George W.
Wayman and Charles Campbell to
stake their runabouts in a road race
to Fountain square, Cincinnati, a dis
tance of 18 miles. Wayman got the
lead and made the trip in 33 minutes.
Campbell's car turned turtle several
miles out of Cincinnati and was
wrecked. The wrecked car was turned
over to the victor.

beg of you, do not talk your
work down. You cannot build it up
by talking it down. If you cannot
talk it up, for gracious' sake keep
still and say nothing.
We don't have much trouble about
what we don't say. If you must tell
your troubles to someone, tell them
to God, but don't tell them to the
people around about you. No busi
ness man or professional .man or any
other man who has thought things
through properly ever talks about
the difficulties of his work either
publicly or in his work.
The general of an army should
know full well all the difficulties that
confront him, but the less he says
about them the better. Knowing and
talking are two different things. It
is said that Von Moltke was once
asked to what he attributed the suc
cess of the Duke of Wellington as a
great general. His answer was that
he attributed it to the fact that he
could hold his ongue in seven differ
ent languages. If we can hold our
tongues in even one language, it will
help a whole lot
A cheerful front is half of the
battle. Don't become sour. Don't
become a grump. Don't become a
sorehead.
Keep seriously sweet or sweetly
serious. Especially in closing a work,
keep mum and keep sweet no matter
how hard it may be.

THE GATEWAY ATHLETIC CLUB.
Puts on a Pleasing oard at Union Hall
Tuesday Evening.
A large number of Miss Cornelia
Benjamin's friends gave her a very
p'easant surprise party last Friday
evening at her home on St Anthony
Miss Elizabeth Martin, of East
Lake street, left last week for an
extended visit with her aunt, Mrs
JosepTiine Ford near Columbus. Ohio
A laige crowd was on hand to
witness the program of five bouts
under the auspices of the Gateway
Athletic Club. The bouts were both
pleading and interesting, and with
the exception of two went the sched
ule number of rounds.
The curtain raiser was a free-for
all battle royal and ended in a draw
between the last two contestants
standing
The second bout scheduled for four
rounds between "Sterling Duke" and
"Kid" Miller was a good one, in view
of the fact that Miller at an hour's
notice substituted for the "Duke's"
opponent who could not appear. The
bout ended in a draw.
The third bout scheduled for four
rounds between Barney Harris and
Joe Youngworth was also a good one
Youngworth sprained the thumb on
his left hand in the first round and
was thereby handicapped. The bout
ended, giving Hams a shade over
Youngworth
The fourth bout scheduled for four
rounds between Victor Daniels and
Joe Birdeaux was good and snappy
as long as it lasted but it didn't
last very long. Daniels knocked out
Birdeaux in the second round.
^The final bout of the evening
scheduled for six rounds was between
Jimmy Branson of St. Paul and "One
Round" Sylvester of Chicago Syl
vester got his title by knocking out
his opponents in the first round but
in lieu of that came very near being
knocked out in the first round.
Branson fought from the tap of the
gong and kept Sylvester on the ropes.
Sylvester started off well weakened
toward the end of the first round
and would have been knocked out,
but the gong saved him. He could
hardly make it to his corner. The
second, round he looked dazed, and
Branson knocked him through the
ropes several times. The fight was
stopped in the second round, Bran
son scoring a knockout.

Value of Small Advertisements.
The editor of The American Press
advises publishers to cultivate the
small accounts more intensively. Ten
advertisers using six inches each
weekly is better, it says, than one
advertiser using 60 inches. To have
a large number of smalr advertisers
is much safer from a business stand
point, it contends, than to rely upon
a few large users of space for neces
sary revenue.
SCANDAL.
Did you ever notice that "talk"
doesn't hurt a man? Perfection isn't
looked for in a man, and when some
onefcfie to injure a man by ranting
about a few faults he has, the absent
one who is probably attending to his
own affairs, is elevated in the hear
er's estimation, while the informant
is lowered accordingly. If a man
knocks along doing fairly well, peo
ple realize that while he has some
faults he has more virtues, and they
are charitable enough to overlook
these faults. But it is difficult with
a girl or woman. No matter how
good and pure a woman may be, let
i someone start an infamous lie about
her and too many people are willing
to pass it along, and there is always
some one to believe it. That lie can
never be lived down. It may burn
low, but gossip loving lips are ready
with new fueL Did you ever think
how damnably mean some goody
goody people are in this respect?
