The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-It its correspondents are able and energetic. Home of the Author of the Star-Spangled Banner VOL. 26. NO. 27. HERE has recently been made an important addition to those places in the United States where the annual recurrence of "Flag Day" is observed by ap- HERE has recently been made an important addition to those places in the United States where the annual recurrence of "Flag Day" is observed by appropriate exercises. This new scene of commemorative celebrations is the home of Francis Scott Key, the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner." This historic habitation of the man who immortalized the nation's flag is located in that section of the nation's capital known as "old Georgetown," and the house itself stands almost on the bank of the Potomac THE KEY MANSION To Be Made Memorial Museum. river, close beside the old Chesapeake and Ohio canal—that pet project of Gen. George Washington, which still serves as an artery of commerce. The average reader may deem it incongruous to class this century-old Key mansion as a "new" scene of Flag Day exercises, but such it is in fact, for until a short time ago this one-time home of the poet-patriot was wholly neglected, not only on Flag Day but at all other times. Indeed, the author of our greatest patriotic song has been singularly slighted in comparison to the tangible testimonials bestowed upon other American heroes. However, when the president and other high officials of the government have been publicly established and dignify "The Story-Gold Banner" as our national anthem for all time a number of prominent men, including Admiral Dewey and Admiral Schley, took the initiative to provide some fitting permanent memorial to the man to whom the whole nation owes a debt of gratitude. The prime movers in this labor of love were unanimous in the opinion that there could be devised no more fitting tribute than the utilization as a memorial museum of the house in which Key lived when he wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner." The idea is the same which has been so successfully carried out in the case of Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington; Andrew Jackson's home in Tennessee; the Lincoln home in Illinois, etc., and which it is now proposed shall be followed in the case of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and the abiding places of other national idols. The project for the restoration and preservation of the Key mansion was particularly welcome and appreciated. The outskirts of the city of Washington had been sadly neglected for many years and was rapidly falling into decay. It was found that $15,000 would be required to purchase the Key mansion, and that at least $3,000 more would be needed to restore it to anything approaching the condition in Charles H. Weisgerber, Who Has Charge of the Restoration of the Home of the Author of "The Star-Spangled Banner." which it was when occupied by the patriot and poet. This sum could readily have been raised through a few subscriptions made by wealthy men, but it was felt that since the project was primarily an incentive to patriotism it would be much better if the purchase price could be raised by means of small subscriptions, so that the greatest possible number of people could participate. This had been the plan followed in that other project of this kind—the recent restoration of the Betsy Ross house in Philadelphia, the birthplace of the flag. Accordingly no person is allowed to contribute more than ten cents to this memorial to the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner," and every person who thus invests a dime becomes a member of the Francis Scott Key Memorial association. In the meantime, the officers of the Memorial association have on their own responsibility leased the Key mansion; have restored it in so far apart with limited expenditure, and have opened it to the public of charge. The renovation and restoration of this long-neglected mansion was indeed a herculean task. In the basement an accumulation of dirt and debris more than three feet in depth had to be excavated the quaint old, brick-paved floor was exposed to view. The half-dozen fireplaces in the mansion had all been bricked up and their reopening was no easy task. As it stands today the Key mansion is, of course, unfurnished, but the artistic column, stairways, the picturesque balcony, the other old-fashioned architectural details are objects of much interest to the numerous sightseers who now visit it. It is the intention that after the mansion shall have been fully restored it shall be made a memorial museum, in which will be gathered relics of all kinds bearing upon the personality and career of Francis Scott Key, including, of course, all his personal belongings that can be obtained. Assurance have been received of the donation of the mansion, and the identical battle-carved flag which floated over Fort McHenry at Baltimore all through that memorable Stairway in Key Mansion. night in 1814 and which inspired the anthem of "The Star-Spangled Banner." The restoration of the Key mansion is in the hands of Mr. Charles H. Welgerber, who, but recently completed a similar labor of love in saving for the city of Philadelphia and the nation the "flag house" or Betay Ross home in the Quaker city, where the first American flag of the present design was manufactured under the direction of George Washington and other famous men. The GLORIOUS FOURTH Folks talk about the balsam of the pines. The odor of the honeysuckle vines. Like the smell of smoke, gunpowderous, on Independence Day. Folks talk about the landscapes of Corot, the wonder-working Michael Angelo. And all the interpieces that are reverently shown. But these do not excite Such a rapture of delight to celebrate a celebrator as a "zazza" of his own. Folks talk about the music of the band, the songs of Adelina Patti and The operatic chorus, or the anthem and satire, but these are not as sweet To the orchin in the street As a "giant shootin'cracker, that's a-bangin' in a barrel." Deaths of Adams and Jefferson. It is one of the most "dramatic coincidences" of our national history that the cemi-centennial of the Declaration of Independence marks the death of both John Adams and James Jefferson, almost at the same hour of the day. Already ill, on the 30th of June, Adams chose for the Fourth of July to be given in his name: "Independence forever!" When the morning of that day came, his wandering mind gropingly clutched at the sound of bwildering bells and booming cain in a bewildered inquiry as to their meaning. The night of the third, Jefferson, shaking fast, sleepy asked: "Is this the Fourth?" His last words, for a few hours later when bells and cannon answered "Yes," he had drifted too far away from the moorings of and nations to hear—although he lingered yet a little while longer as if, even in unconsciousness, he was loth to go until he had celebrated one more birthday of his country's independence. THE APPEAL. WOMAN ELECTED JUSTICE Mrs. Mary Phares of Clinton, Second of Her Sex to Hold Illinois Office. Bloomington, Ill.—Illinois' second woman justice of the peace, Mrs. Mary Phares of Clinton, whose campaign was started as a joke, and who did not mention a selection, has qualified for the position and hung out her shingle. She is now ready to deal with any malefactor who may be haled before her, or will serve papers, etc., for whomsoever may apply. She is diligently reading up in law and in the statutes which relate to the duties of justice of the peace and now that she has the job, proposes to go the limit and learn everything about the position, he is unearned. "It was started to judge Justice Phares, when asked about her new post." Last winter, Attorney L. Williams casually remarked, in my hearing, that he was going to see that I was elected justice of the peace, when the first vacancy on the board appeared. He said he thought I knew as much about weighing evidence and deciding controversies as the average masculine justice. I supported him and laughed and laughingly told him to go ahead and that it was all right with me. "The subject never entered my mind again until the night of the THIS HARRY THOMES election, when I was astounded by the information that I had been elected. I received 52 votes. You must consider this a good showing, as I did absolutely no electioneering. Mr. WHilams quietly spread the word around among his acquaintances and admonished them to say nothing about it. My name was written on the ballot and even the election judges did not know what was up, until they commenced to count after the polls had closed. "I was at home all day, while the election was in progress, little dreaming that I was being elected justice of the peace. If ever an office came unsought, this one did. I have since been busy thankying my friends for their remembrance. Perhaps if I had conducted a campaign, I would have received votes, but I am satisfied and will try to be a just judge for all the people. "It will appear a little odd, at first, to give up household duties and officiate at trials. I may even be called upon to marry people. I will have to brush up on the marrying code. I ought to do a rushing business, as brides will not object to me kissing them, as in the case of some of the masculine justices that I know of." Justice Pharaes is a widow, her husband Pharaes, having been a well-known and prominent citizen of Clinton. Mrs. Pharaes is unusually well educated, is highly intellectual and well read and her friends believe that she will be a fearless justice. HEADS AMERICAN PRINTERS James M.

JULY FOURTH by HENRY BARRETT CHAMBERLIN When the clock struck four, I was on the floor, The bells began to ring and the cannon to roar, The guns to fire and the crackers to snap- This is the Fourth of July. NCE upon a time—if you are exacting as to dates, the time fell between 1836 and 1860—there was a country parson who kept a record of his Fourths. In the year 1855 he broke into poetry and the courted question was the result. This record of his Fourths, taken from his journal, was published in the Atlantic Monthly. O Now if various and sundry reasons, all excellent in their way, did not keep this es- teemed magazine closed to the eyes of boyhood, it is to be feared that this parson, despite his poetry, would be voted a cross old man. For when the Fourth fell on Sunday he saw no reason why it should be celebrated on any other day or in any fashion not in keeping with a seemly observance of the Sabbath. Instead of gladly accepting the bounty of the calendar and having a trilogy, a series of three dramatic and exciting days fraught with danger and delight, this glomy personage would have limited the day's events to a sermon and a prayer. teemed magazine closed to the eyes of boyhood, it is to be feared that this parson, despite his poetry, would be voted a cross old man. For when the Fourth fell on Sunday he saw no reason why it should be celebrated on any other day or in any fashion not in keeping with a seemly observance of the Sabbath. Instead of gladly accepting the bounty of the calendar and having a trilogy, a series of three dramatic and exciting days traughed with danger and delight, this gloomy personage would have limited the day's events to a sermon and a prayer. In his records can be found testimony against him, for they read: "July 4, 1847. Sunday. "July 5. Monday morning. This is celebrated as the Fourth of July very improperly. Yesterday was the day and ministers might have preached upon the subject of religious freedom; this would have been sufficient and ought to have been satisfactory. But no; there must be noise, the drum must beat and the cannon roar, the children be dressed in their best and paraded, and 'Don't these children look nice?' "Oh, yes, very nice, but if their parents would teach them to respect their superiors and behave with propriety it would be far better. Well, there has been a general turnout, rich and poor, young and old, all mixed up together. This is a free country—but not so, it is a country of slave holders. We hold 3,000,000 of our fellow mortals as slaves—and how inconsistent." "Oh, yes, very nice, but if their parents would teach them to respect their superiors and behave with propriety it would be far better. Well, there has been a general turnout, rich and poor, young and mixed up together. This is a free country—but, in fact, a country of slave holders. We hold 3,000,000 and fellow mortals as slaves—and how inconsistent." "July 4, 1852. Sunday." "July 5. Monday. "The community were not satisfied to have yesterday as being the Fourth of July because they could not serve Satan so openly and boldly as today. My opinion is that when the Fourth of July comes on the Sabbath it ought to be remembered in a suitable and proper manner by assembling in the sanctuary and hearing the proclamation of peace announced from the pulpit, 'good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.' Suitable prayers and suitable readings would be a suitable acknowledgment that our blessings are of God, but because this won't do us a great noise and bustle and much that is derogatory to the Christian character must be put in operation." He didn't like the methods of celebration any better when the glorious day fell in the middle of the week, for July 4, 1849, he wrote: "Wednesday. At the rising of the sun the bells of the city are ringing and the cannon roaring, calling upon those within hearing to awake, arise and call upon their God, and give him thanks for this great blessing, our national independence, which we this day commemorate by making all the noise we can and by acting as well as we can and as bad as we can." "Wednesday. At the rising of the sun the bells of the city are ringing and the cannon roaring, calling upon those within hearing to awake, arise and call upon their God, and give him thanks for the great blessing, our national independence, which will encourage by corporate by making all the noise we can and by acting as well as we can and as bad as we can. All of which would justify any boy in the belief that though the parson may have been a God-fearing personage who walked the narrow path all his godly days and was never even tempted by a lingering desire for pleasant biroys byways, he must certainly have been rather an unpleasant person to live with and that the milk kindness which was his portion, though it may not have soured, was as certainly lacking in cream. How different was the letter which John Adams in the first flush of joy over the adoption by congress of the Declaration of Independence, wrote to his wife. Its date, July 3, may give some ardent young Americans excuse for firing their crackers before the dawn of the day which even lawmakers say may have its claim shattered into fiery noise. This first historic Adams, first vice-president, second president of the republic which he helped to bring into being, was a good husband. Busy as he must have been, for he was a foremost figter of the American Revolution, "demeasure," the "Coleuses of that debate" which preceded the vote on the nation-making resolution, he wrote on July 3 two letters to his wife, Abigail. In one he said: "Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that these united colonies are and of right ought to be, free and independent states." In the other: "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to be embarrassed by the fact that the United States as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore. You will think me transported with enthusiasm, but I am not. I am well aware of the toll and blood and treasure that it will cost us to maintain this declaration and support and defend these rights of freedom, and the laws of rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is more than worth all the means; and that posterity will triumph in that day's transaction, even though we should rue it, which I trust in God we shall not."

This first historic Adams, first vice-president, second president of the republic which he helped establish, is good enough as he must have been, for he was a foremost figure in the stirring events, the "Atlas of Independence," the "Colossus of that debate" which preceded the vote on the nation-making resolution, he wrote on July 3 two letters to his wife, Abigail. In one he said: "Yesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America; and a greater perhaps never was, nor will be, decided among men.

Yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is more than worth the means; and that posterity will triumph in that day's transaction, even though we should rue it, which I trust in God we shall not." Though posterity selected, instead of July 2, July 4, the day on which the formal Declaration TH T CHAMBERLIN THOMAS JEFFERSON of Independence prepared by a committee of five. of Independence prepared by a committee of five, headed by Thomas Jefferson, was discussed and accepted, the resolution for independence was, as these letters show, really adopted July 2. It took a long time for the petitioners of the colonies to conceive of independence. Leaders like Samuel Adams waxed impatient with those who believed a peaceful settlement of the trouble was possible without separation from the mother country. Yet Washington in the first congress denied that the colonies desired or that it was to their interest to set up for independence. Frank Lloyd Wright in an event which, if it must come, was lamentable. Lexington and Concord and Bunker hill favored the radicals. June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee of the Virginia delegation, following the instructions which he had received from the council of Virginia, presented a resolution, "That these united colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown; that all political connection between them and Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved." John Adams seconded the motion and a debate followed. There are no authentic reports of these debates. The war had already been won, but little report of what a would have been like had these men, who, indeed, would have been hanged had good King George been able to get them, but hanging men is like making rabbit pie—you must first catch the rabbit. It is likely that those who led the debate in support of the measure were John and Samuel Adams, Roger Sherman, Oliver Wolcott, Richard Henry Lee and George Wythe. Those opposing were probably John Dickenson, John Jay, James Wilson and Robert R. Wilson. It appeared that four New England colonies, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and three other states, New York, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, were prepared to vote at once in the affirmative, but as unanimity was desired a final vote was postponed until July 1, and a committee composed of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston, was appointed to prepare a formal statement for the world. Lee, the mover of the resolution, would perhaps have been named chairman of the committee had not his-wife fallen ill. As it was, Jefferson received the honor and save for a few alterations the constitution, and the separation of independence was written by him. The committee in the state department in Washington, save for these interlineations by Franklin and Adams, is in his handwriting. July 1 debate was resumed on the Lee resolution. July 2 all the delegates but those from New York voted in favor of it and it was of this action that John Adams wrote to his wife. The original resolution having been carried, the formal declaration prepared by the committee to show a due respect for the opinions of mankind was reported and discussed until late July 4, when it was finally accepted and signed by the president of the conference, Hon. John Hewlett. A week the provincial congress of New York expressed its approval. August 2 an engrossed copy of the declaration was laid before congress and received the signatures of delegates from 13 col- $2.40 PER YEAR A onles, 56 in all, though Matthew Thornton of New Jersey did not sign until November. Grim jests were passed. Hancock, writing his name large, said that John Bull could read it without spectacles and impressed upon his comrades that since the fatal die was cast they must "all hang together in this matter," which gave Franklin a chance for his bon mot. "Yes, indeed, we must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." A fat delegate—some say it was Harrison, others that it was Carter Bruxon of Virginia—said to one of light weight, either Carroll of Carrollton or Gerry of Massachusetts: "When it comes to hanging I shall have greatly the advantage, for my neck would be broken at once, while I fear you will dangle in the air and hang for some time." The first public celebration of the Declaration of Independence was probably that of July 8, 1776, when John Nixon read the statement in the yard of the statehouse in Philadelphia and the king's armor was taken down in the courtroom. In New York, it was a glorious day, every soldier was ordered an extra gill of rum. In 1778 the general orders read: "Tomorrow, the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, will be celebrated by firing 13 pieces of cannon and a feu de jole of the whole line." Even as early as parades were in order. A description of one shows that elaborate hair dressing is not of the twentieth century only and that the Torties were not so insignificant as to escape notice. "We had a magnificent celebration of the anniversary of independence when the fireworks were displayed. The Whigs of the city dressed up a woman with the monstrous headress of the Tory ladies and escorted her through a great concourse of people. Her head was elegantly dressed and expensively dressed. suppose about three feet high and proportionate width, with a profusion of curls. the figure was droll and occasioned much mirth. It has lessened some heads already and will probably bring the rest within the bounds of reason, for they are monstrous indeed. The Tory wife of Dr. Smith has christened the figure Contenella, or the Duchess of Independence, and prayed for a pin from her head by way of relic. The Tory women are very much modified notwithstanding this." Barbecues, fireworks, parades, picnics, white dresses—these seem early to have become a part of the day's celebration. Noise and accidents, also early developed. Julia Ward Howe, in her early development, the resembles her own distress as a child because the democratic mayor of New York, Gladen Lee, profiled home fireworks. Fortunately for her and her sisters and brothers, they lived next door to the mayor and he made an exception in their favor. In 1857 she listened to the ode written by Emerson and read in the town hall at Concord July 4, 1857. Perhaps he caught the spirit of even the day's noise better than the other person. At least he wrote more kindly of it: A fat delegate—some say it was Harrison, others that it was Carter Brutex of Virginia; said to one of light weight, either Carroll of Carrollton or Gerry of Massachusetts: "When it comes to hanging I shall have greatly the advantage, for my neck would be broken at once, while I fear you will dangle in the air and hang for some time."

Noise and accidents, also, early developed. Julia Ward Howe, in her reminiscences, tells that she remembers her own distress as a child because the Democratic mayor of New York, Glenn Lee, prohibited home fireworks. Fortunately for Lee, her sisters and brothers, they lived next door to the mayor and he made an exception in their favor. In 1857 she listened to the ode written by Emerson and read in the town hall at Concord July 4, 1857. Perhaps he caught the spirit of even the day's noise better than the other parson. At least he wrote more kindly of it: The cannons boom from town to town. Our pulses beat not less. The joy bells chime their tidsdown. Which children's voices bless. AVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? ST.

THE PISTOL-TOTERS: The Atlanta Constitution thus comments upon a dispatch: "Describing a recently adjourned session of the Superior Court of Sumter county, a dispatch to the Constitution from American reports that many Negro murderers and pistol-toters were sent to the penitentiary and chain-gang, several receiving life sentences. "We assume, and hope, the same summary justice was dealt white pistol-toters. "This is one evil in which the color line most decidedly does not figure." It has not as yet been shown that the Afro-American is more addicted to the habit of pistol-toting than his white brother, but it is evident that he is much more liable to arrest. For centuries, all over the world, it has been regarded as the prerogative of a gentleman to carry arms and a South- Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. HON.

Indeed, one of the class, when challenged for violating the law against carrying concealed weapons remarked, very truthfully, "That law was made for niggers." But such occurrences as the killing of Senator Carmack doubtless suggested to the Georgia editor the advisability of drawing no color-line in the matter of pistol-toting. RACE PRIN I am convinced there is no more this present woe. Prejudice; none deliberately—it single thing in a tiffies and holds baseness, cruelty than any corder in the work body runs the coarse lust, sus RIGHT TO DEFEND HIS HOME. We welcome with pleasure every indication of a disposition on the part of the Southern brother to treat the Afro-American with fairness and justice and such an instance recently occurred in the state of Arkansas. A difficulty took place between a white man and and an Afro-American. Later the white man went to the Afro-American's house and shot at him. The Afro-American returned the fire and wounded the white man. The jury awarded the Afro-American two years in the penitentiary. Judge A.B. Grace set aside the verdict and ruled that the Afro-American had the same right to defend his home as the white man had; so he discharged the prisoner. At first glance the foregoing may seem a rather unimportant matter, but we pronounce it one of supreme importance and know that it required no little courage upon the part of the judge to take such action. HOW TO STAND HIGH IN THE SOUTH. Every once in a while, in the South, some incident occurs which tends to show that a certain class of Afro-Americans can stand very well in the estimation of the white citizens. In Alabama recently, more than one thousand persons of the "best families" attended the funeral of an old body servant. School boys clamored for places as pall-bearers. The South is always ready to pay honor to a faithful servant WHEN HE IS DEAD. In this case we presume Bob had no higher ambition than to be a servant and no desire to vote. No doubt he was a "good nigger" of the haloween days of slavery. 1920 M. B. HON. FRANK H.

The amount retained in the current fiscal year only $5,500,000, as compared with $14,500,000 last year.

It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecution and all the darkest polls of the human soul. Before another issue of THE APPEAL the most momentous affair, just now, before the American public, viz: the Johnson-Jeffries fight will have been disposed of in some way. Which way, the Lord only knows and He won't tell. THE APPEAL has not changed its opinion that Johnson will not get a decision in his favor unless he so far outclasses Jeffries that a blind man can see it. It is generally claimed, now, by those supposed to be most interested, that the fight will be on the square; we hope so, whichever way it may go, and if Johnson wins, we will KNOW it was on the square. The address of Representative Boutell of Illinois at the recent brewers' convention, in which he declared prohibition to be a failure, has stirred up a lot of interest. Mr. Boutell spake the truth. Prohibition in the South was not for true reform, but for the purpose of preventing Afro-Americans from using liquor. The Southern colonels are so fond of whiskey that they wished to monopolize the drinking of it. Under the influence of the spirit of commercialism, the nation has broken loose from its religious moorings. This accounts for the prevalence of all forms of evil, lynching, the white slave traffic, adulteration of foods and drugs and frequent divorces. The church has lost its repressive power and seems to every day become more tolerant of many forms of evil.

G. Wells in the N. Y. Independent. A. B. A Committee of Fifty Is Considering the Advisability of Building a Lincoln Memorial in Washington City, A SOUTHERN FUNCTION. It seems that the lynching recently pulled off in Mississippi was a very nice affair. There was no rudeness and everybody was extremely polite. The best people of the county were present to give the function. Hanging of a Negro—that's all. "I wish you would please state that the lynching of Elmo Curl at Mastadon, Miss., was a most orderly affair, conducted by the bankers, lawyers, farmers and merchants of that county. The best people of the county, as good as there are any where, simply met there and hanged Curl without a sign of rowdyism. There was no drinking, no shooting no yelling and not even any loud talking." This was the statement made by a well dressed, nice looking man who entered the Memphis Commercial Appeal office, and asked to have the account published. He proved to be J. D. Miller, tax assessor of Concordia parish, La., and the brother of W. P. Miller, who was shot by Curl at Mastadon several weeks ago when Mr. Miller went at the head of a posse to arrest him. Mr. Miller went on to state that when the assembled yeomanry of Panola county had transferred Curl from the main line of the Illinois Central railroad to Mastadon they halted under a well-limbed tree within forty feet of the cabin from which Curl shot young Miller. "When the party arrived there," continued Mr. Miller, "they asked me what were my wishes in the matter. Their courtesy to me could not have been surpassed. I told them that I did not believe in brutality, nor did I approve of mutilation of bodies or the torture of slow burning, but that I would like to have the privilege accorded me of making first pull on the rope. All accorded to my wishes in the matter. ABRAHAM A Committee of Fifty Is Considering Memorial in W "But I believe that the Negro was dead from fright before he was hauled up from the ground. The knot was tied at the back of his neck and he was pulled up slowly from the ground. There was no jerk or fall, yet he never kicked, and so far as we could see no muscle ever moved after he was hoisted into the air. In fact we had to lift him to his feet, as he seemed unable to stand. All of the best people of that section took part and I have never seen a more orderly assemblage anywhere." The foregoing account of a common occurrence in the South, given in the words of the leader of the mob is so excellent a picture of Southern American civilization that further comment is unnecessary. THE PERVERSE CAUCASIAN EDITORS. It is a remarkable fact that the Caucasian editors persist in speaking of the Afro-Americans of the United States as if they were as wild, ignorant and uncultivated as the tribes of the jungles of Africa. For instances the Washington Herald says: "The Negro does not know by inheritance or early training how to care for himself, either as to temperature or sanitation. He still needs supervision and instruction, even compulsory, in such affairs of self-preservation." The foregoing is true in reference to a large fraction of the race, just as it is true of a very large number of both races. So far as the North is concerned, there is very little difference in the intelligence or mode of living of members of the two races, if we compare individuals of about equal means of living. It would be hard to find, in any part of the United States, any Afro-Americans who need supervision and instruction as to sanitary matters so badly as the miners in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. According to the testimony of credible witnesses, the miners live in a condition of utter disregard of the rules of deceancy or hygiene. The case of the Afro-American is not a peculiar one; as a general thing he compares, class by class, very well with his white neighbors. SEPARATE Y. M. C. A'S. There may be some excuse for the separate Young Men's Christian Association in the South, where the line between the races is distinctly drawn, but in the North there is no justification for their existence. The Afro-Americans, who are urging the establishment of separate Y. M. C. A.'s are making a grave mistake. They should consider the question from every angle before using their influence in favor of a movement which will be farreaching in its effects and may come back sometime in the shape of discriminating and repressive laws and finally in the withdrawal of all civil and political rights from the race. There are in the United States a few individuals who have proved themselves to be true Christians, but the alleged Caucasian Christian Church in this country justified slavery and has never taken a decided stand for the rights of men. The Y. M. C. A. people in many Northern communities are endeavoring to segregate the Afro-American, thus proving that in one respect the Association is not a Christian organization. If Afro-Americans think that an organization similar to the Y. M. C. A. is needed in any particular community, they should form one and call it by some other name. Under no circumstances should they have any connection with the Central Y. M. C. A., which as a rule in cities where there are colored branches, admits to the central organization members from all branches except the oblored branch. To become a branch of an organization which discriminates is to admit inferiority. LINCOLN the Advisability of Building a Lincoln washington City. That Afro-Americans should become parties to the segregation plan is inconceivable, yet many are doing so. THE APPEAL believes that these members of the race, who are in many instances, intelligent people, are misguided and after they have carefully considered the matter and see the perils the plan entails will about face and refuse to segregate themselves. Better call a halt now. Unless segregation is stopped it will continue to grow and it is not impossible that within ten years the jimcrow car will roll into Chicago. Men and women of the race, consider well your actions! THE LYING SOUTHERN EDITOR. One of the severest tests of the ingenuity of the Southern editor is the lying rendered necessary by every case of lynching that occurs. He knows that he is depended upon to present the thing in a plausible manner for the benefit of the world at large and to make it appear that the crime committed was of such appalling atrocity that the highly respectable people who avenged it were entirely justifiable, that the evidence was completely satisfactory and that the affair was conducted with dignity and good taste. By diligent and frequent practice, the Southern editor has became perfect in his role and can do the necessary lying in the finest kind of style. Hence the truth in regard to such matters almost never comes to the light. It would not do to astonish the world with the real truth about many such occurrences. Foreign governments send thousands of criminals to the United States every year because it is cheaper to do that than to support them at home. They are received with great joy by the Caucasian-Americans who treat them with greater consideration than they do Afro-Americans of sterling worth. bug worth THE STUDENTS' SCHOOL An unescottian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education and vocational and English High School courses, with industrial Training.

Don't delay longer, do it now. An Open Letter. Mr. Editor: While in in a reminiscent mood, recently, I was reminded that THE APPEAL was started in the year 1885 and therefore will pass the 25th milestone of its existence this year. What a number of interesting events have taken place during these twenty-five years, what wonderful advancements have been made by the Afro-American citizens of the Twin Cities in all lines of life! And as I was one of its early promoters and know much of its history, I believe it is no small thing for a newspaper to be for a quarter of a century under the circumstances which have undoubtedly THE APPEAL, and it seems to me that some sort of celebration of the event would be eminently fit and proper, and I also believe that the citizens of the Twin Cities whom you have served so faithfully and well would gladly join in making the event one long to be remembered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APPEAL be published containing a chronological history of the events that have transpired during its existence, cuts and sketches of prominent men and women, cuts of the beautiful homes that so many have become the happy possessors of, and numerous other matters of interest that would make such an edition a most valuable one for us all. Then as a grand finale a public testimonial celebration in some large hall on the anniversary day of THE APPEALS' with or such other day that judgment is more suitable, in which all may take a part in making the event one of the largest ever held here. I would suggest, if the idea meets your approval, that you select a number of persons to act as a committee to carry out such plans as I have advanced or as you may deem most advisable. Very truly yours. T. H. Lyles. Minneapolis, Minn. May 4, 1910. My Dear Mr. Adams: Several weeks ago I read an open letter in THE APPEAL, which suggested a celebration of its 25th anniversary. It is the right thing to do, and I am heartily in favor of it. Having been a reader of your paper ever since it was first published, and a sincere admirer of the tenacity with which you have held on to the life of your journal, supplying a demand no others have been able to fill. I believe it is an obligation the whole community owes you, and that you justly deserve recognition and merit what form, the occasion may present. I shall be pleased to render any assistance in my power to give. Yours very truly Jone E. Gibbs. Pres. Afro-Amer. W. S. Federation. Minneapolis, Minn. May 16. Mr. Editor: Very few of the newspapers of our race can show a record of twenty-five years' existence and as THE APPEAL has that distinction we of the Northwest are very proud of it. It is the only paper we have in the state and its Quarto-Centennial celebration is quite in order. Count me to do all in my power to help make it a great success, Respectfully Fredrick C. Nelson, 259 Seventh Ave. North. Minneapolis, June 15. Twenty-five years of continuity through storm and sunshine, through discouragements and successes, entitles THE APPEAL to every kind thought, and deed it may receive from those whom it has served so long. I wish to be counted among the most appreciative. Will M. Smith. I fully approve of your plan and do not see why it should not be a grand success. THE APPEAL is in every wav worthy, long may it live. I am with you. S. J. Bellesen. The issuance of a Quarto-Centennial edition of THE APPEAL ought to mark an epoch in the general history of the Afro-Americans of the Northwest. The success of which should redound to the credit of its editor for his perseverance. May the celebration be unsurpassed. Mr. and Mrs. A. French. We heartily favor the Quarto-Centennial Celebration and shall do all in our power to make it a success, feeling as we do that THE APPEAL is the only paper that has stood the brunt of battle, hard knocks, etc. Whatever we may be called upon to do we are at your service. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Miller. I am in full accord with the prospective 25th anniversary of THE APPEAL, being the first editor of The Western Appeal before the name was changed to THE APPEAL. I have watched its progress all these years and have been pleased with its successes and I wish for it a long and useful career. F. D. Parker. I am heartily in accord with the Quarte and Centennial of THE APPEAL, and indorse the movement of the same. I am also pleased with the attending spirit that seems to awaken from that of ingratitude to the appreciation of service, and that the people of the Twin Cities are heartily indorsing those who are struggling to do something for the race, especially that of THE APPEAL. We do wish success for it in the future, and under the management, we say well done to the editor of the same. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Strong. I am heartily in accord with the idea of celebrating the 25th anniversary of THE APPEAL and believe the good people of the Twin Cities will help to make it a grand success. B. R. Durant. St. Paul, April 15, 1910. My Dear Mr. Adams: In relation to the Quarto-Centennial idea, I think it good and you may depend upon me for any assistance I can give.
