REAPING THE WHIRLWIND The recent assassinations of a judge, sheriff and prosecutor, with three jurymen and three innocent bystanders, by lawless mountaineers in the more or less grand old commonwealth of Virginia, has shocked the civilized world, but it is not strange that the murders occurred. For many years throughout the South the "best citizens" have ap proved of mob murders when the help less victims happened to be black men The Virginia cavaliers are reaping what they have sown. HELLISH COLOR PREJUDICE. To what contemptible depths does the hellish color prejudice of some white men lead them! It is understood that the executive committee of the American Bar Association has decided to oust Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, from membership in the bar association. It is claimed by members of the committee that they did not know that Mr. Lewis was an A*o-American when he was elected, all of which is a misstatement of facts. The action of the committee has aroused Attorney General Wickersham and he has sent a spirited letter to each of the 4,700 members of the association, charging the executive committee with an arrogance of power unwarranted by the body's constitution in order to gratify a race prejudice entertained by some of its members. The constitution of the association has no provision upon which to base such discrimination. All honor to Attorney General Wickersham! As so many hundreds of thousands of supposedly "pure-blooded white men" really have Negro blood in their composition, it is not unreasonable to presume that at least several scores of the 4,700 are so "tainted," and that THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE WHO OBJECTED ARE IN THAT NUMBER. Stranger things than that are in existence to our knowledge. --- W. H.

"I am not going to stop and discuss in detail the question of direct primary elections, their uses and abuses. I think every one will know, ever, that in order that they may accomplish the good they are intended to accomplish they should be safe-guarded by effective provision as to the party eligibility of voters who participate in them and by penal provisions securing conformity to rules of such eligibility and the honest casting and counting of the ballot. "The continued iteration and reiteration of the proposition 'Let the people rule,' if it has any significance at all and is intended otherwise than to flatter the people, is intended to be a reflection on the government that we have had down to the present time. Now in spite of all the corruption, in spite of all the machine politics, in spite of every defect in the operation of our government that can be pointed out, I do not hesitate to say that the history of the last 135 years shows that the people have ruled." AN EAST INDIAN "GOOD NIGGER." An East ndian by the name of Bustonjee, or Tombigbee, or something of the sort, is in the United States denouncing the courageous East Indians who are fighting for their rights as men against the aggressions of the British. Evidently Bustonjee is a paid emissary of the British government, or of some organization which has for its object the crushing out of the liberty of the masses of the East ndians. It is a strange fact that every race produces a class of men who are willing to belittle their own people for the smiles or cash of the oppressor. We have hundreds of the "good nigger" class here in the United States, who glory in doing all they can to injure the Afro-American people, provided they can get a jimcrow office in some alleged Christian organization or the cash of the white man. Many would sell their souls to have some cheap Caucasian refer to them as "good niggers." It has been more or less asserted by scientists and others that both Adam and Jesus Christ were not white, which, of course, is easy to believe, when one thinks of the fact that even at the present time only about one eight of the population of the world is white. But now comes a Theosophist, D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who declares he knows for a fact that Christ is coming back to earth within the next twenty years. Says Mr. Unger: "Whenever a nation or the world really needs a great leader, he turns up. The world is sadly in need --- W. H. HON. JAMES S. SHERMAN Vice President of the United States.

And, in order that humanity may have no trouble in being certain of the presence of Christ, he will have a brown body." Well, if Christ returns to this earth brown in color, there are people in the United States who will not accept him. Miss Esther Mercy, a Jewess, has brought suit for $100,000 damages for defamation of character against Miss Marion Talbot, dean of women at the University of Chicago. Miss Mercy, in testifying in the case, said: "They tried to kill my soul. They drove me from the university because I am a Jewess, and they persecuted me afterward." She also said they were the cause of her being discharged from two department stores where she had obtained work. If, if true, is a shame. We were laboring under the impression that there were no discriminations in the great university of the greatest city in the United States on account of race, color or creed. The Maryland legislature has voted down the anti-lynching bill. The act was designed to thrown not only the responsibility for lynching disorders upon the communities in which they occur and to provide a penalty for failure to prevent them. It provided a fine of $5,000. As the victims of mob law are usually Afro-Americans the Caucasian people who control the state see no reason why their amusements should be curtailed. PRESIDENT TAFT W. H. TAFT ON FIRST BALLOT THAT'S THE PREDICTION OF DIRECTOR McKINLEY WHO SAYS THAT THE REQUISITE VOTES TO SECURE THE NOMINATION ARE IN SIGHT. AFRO-AMERICANS OF COUNTRY WILL STAND SOLID FOR THE PRESIDENT—MEETING OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE—TESTIMONIAL TO MRS. TERRELL—BUDGET OF WASHINGTON NEWS. HARRIS & EWING WASHINGTON, D.C. HON. WILLIAM B. MCKINLEY The Efficient Manager of the Taft National Campaign. Special to THE APPEAL. Washington, D. C., March 20, 1912. Taft on the First Ballot. President Taft will be nominated on the first ballot in the Republican national convention to be held in Chicago in June. This is the substance of a statement made by Representative W. B. McKinley, of Illinois, director of the F.C. campaign, Director McKinley pointed out that 141 delegates have already been pledged or instructed for President Taft. This is about one-fourth of the number necessary to nominate. On the basis of the new reapportion HON. WILLIAM The Efficient Manager of the ment act, there will be 1,076 delegates in the Republican convention this year. It will take 539 delegates to nominate. With 141 now in hand and assurances that the number will appeal for the convention rolls around, Director McKinley is satisfied that Mr. Taft will win on the first honors. Senate Confirms Pitney as Judge The Senate yesterday confirmed the nomination of Chancellor Mahlon Pitney, of New Jersey, as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. The Afro-Americans of the country are pleased that President Taft declined to give the place to Judge Jim Crow Hook, but appointed Chancellor Pitney, a man who will be fair in decisions affecting the race. Taft Sure of New Yor. Each of the five New York leaders who recently visited the White House, is sure that New York is safely tucked away in Mr. Taft's political vest pocket. It is estimated that the president will get at least 80 of the 90 delegates. Porto Ricans to Push Citizenship. Encouraged by the fact that the House has passed the bill granting citizenship to the people of Porto Rico after the war, the Senate has passed Porto Ricans during the fourteen years they have been under American rule, the residents of the island have sent a representative to Washington to push the bill in the Senate. It now is pending before the Senate committee on Pacific islands and Porto Rico. Afro-Americans For Taft Reports from all parts of the country indicate that the majority of the Afro-Americans will stand solid for Mr. Taft. They appreciate the fact that he was the first president to appoint one of the race to a near cabinet place—Hon. William H. Lewis, who is Assistant Attorney General. For the Uplift of the Race. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held a monster mass meeting at Metropolitan A. M. E. church, Tuesday evening. The immense edifice was filled to its capacity, fully 3,000 people being present. Addresses were delivered by Prof. J. E. Spingarn, president of the N. Y. branch of N. A. A. C. P., Miss Society, all of New York, and Rev. J. Melton Waldron of this city. The meeting was a great success, a large sum was raised for the prosecution of the work of the society and several hundred new subscribers were added to the list of the Crisis, the official organ of the society. * * * * * Separate Schools Come High. In the Senate Saturday Mr. Gallinger submitted a report that shows that public schools are greater than in other cities. This is caused by the system of separate Martha Gruening and Mr. James F. Morton, president of the Cosmopolitan HARRIS & EWING WASHINGTON, D.C. IAM B. McKINLEY of the Taft National Campaign. schools for the races. If all American children were allowed to attend the same schools, as they do in the Northern states, the cost would be much less. Prejudice is an expensive thing. Taft By Accalamtion. "Taft will be nominated by acclamation," said former Representative James Kennedy of Ohio, the other day. "It is all socialistic quackery—this initiative and referendum stuff. Just think of it! Recall of judicial decisions! What would be the need of a constitution if the people had the power to recall judicial decisions. Might as well abolish the foundation of our government. And it is because of my absolute faith in the sober second thought of the man that I am confident President Taft will only be renominated, but reelected." **Testimonial to Mrs. Terrell.** As an indication of the high esteem in which Mrs. Mary Church Terrell is held in this community, as well as an evidence of appreciation by the public services, a banquet will be tendered to her at Lincoln Memorial church on April 10.

Mr. Gale Hillyer, at present a senior at the State University, was a star performer at an entertainment given under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U. of Pilgrim Baptist church, St. Paul, Thursday night. He rendered his oration on "The Progress of the Afro-American," which brought him much fame at a recent oratorical contest at the University in a very excellent covering himself with glory. Mr. Hillyer, the district's of being a son of son. Mr. Andrew F. Hillyer, of Washington, D. C., who was the first Afro-American graduate from the University of Minnesota, and he and his better half are expected to visit Minnesota next June to witness their son's graduation. Last Saturday night about 11:20 o'clock C. Kidd Mitchell, the baseball magnate and genial proprietor of the Keystone hotel and bar, while attempting to cross the street at Second and Hennepin was struck by a 60-hour power automobile that was being towed at the end of a long rope and was knocked down, and, but for the fact that he fell away from the track of the car, might have been run over and crushed to death. As it was, his right knee and arm were both sprained very badly. A taxi was called and he was taken to his residence, and his family physician soon had him as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. The owner of the car is a well-known business man, and he has expressed his willingness to settle whatever damages there may be. Col. Mitchell is rapidly recovering from his accident and is now able to hobble around on crutches.

The gentlemen who are arranging to organize a new lodge of Odd Fellows are requested to meet at St. James A. M. E. church on tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, instead of at Geo. B. Lowe's. All who are in sympathy with the movement are requested to be present. George B. Lowe. Shriners Hold Social Session. Good fellowship reigned supreme and mirth was when Fozzan Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, entertained March 15th. The "doings" were free to all Masons in good standing. There was something doing every minute, and dull care was a stranger. Vocal and instrumental music, sparring, refreshments of various kinds and degrees of dryness, and a police raid were provided by the committee in charge. Every one present claims to have had the time of his life; that is, except when the police rushed in. isions of the patrol wagon, a night behind the bars and a "good morning, Judge," flashed through the minds of many of the good brethren, and they wondered what the parson would say. The only thing which prevented a rush for the stairs was the fact that the officers were blocking the doorway. The sparriers were boys of the Culture Club, and their work reflected great credit on that organization. The matter of supporting this club was put before the men. Those who contributed to the enjoyment were: T. R. Morgan, cornet; E. B. James, 'cello; Frank Terry, man dolin; Nimrod, Singleton, guitar; George Johnson, Clarence McCullough, Edward Davis, Earl Stewart and Free Gamble, singers, is the only one in the country having more than one member as an official of the Imperial Council. They have two elective and one appointive position: Jose H. Sherwool, Deputy Imperial Potentate (being the second important place in the gift of the Nobility); James A. The Culture Club. During the past few years constant complaining has been heard because of the lack of a suitable place for our men and boys to congregate, particularly a place for the younger men and boys, to keep them off the street corners. This desire can be fulfilled through the agency of the CULTURE CLUB. It is now up to the people to show that they really wanted such an organization. It is here. Will you keep it? It is absolutely necessary that amusement be provided for the boy—whether he be growing or grown—if he cannot find it in a clean atmosphere he will seek it elsewhere, and he is sure to find it. The question which stares us in the face is plain: Shall we provide and support face where they may get the recreation they need, or the temptations offered, relieved of the temptations which they are more than apt to be exposed in such places as they will otherwise frequent. Every one must realize we are being observed, tried and weighed as never before. The eyes of the world are upon us. If you are to make good each one must bear a part of the burden. The time is ripe. Start now, NOW, TODAY! It is time that those parents who have the interest of their boys and girls at heart should take the proper steps to aid the club which is now being carried by Mr. Bolling almost alone. We do not believe that it is generally known just how much this work will help the boys of our city. Have any idea what work he has accomplished during the past five years? Do you know that he is responsible for the rent of the building they now occupy? A lease was signed to enable the club to get the building, and Mr. Bolling is the only signer. Do you think it is fair that one man be compelled to safeguard all the men and boys of our race in the building, and you and I sit idly by and allow it. If you think the boys are worth the effort, then it is necessary to accord your support—active. Passive support will do no good in this case. The call is NOW. Will YOU aid? Join the club and help keep it going. Some of the people to whom THE APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is issued, and that is every Saturday—act as though they are under neither legal nor moral obligations to pay for it: when, as a matter of fact, they are under both. There is no law compelling any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one to pay for it who receives it, upon the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives. Ordering a paper discontinued does not pay any amount that may be due and unpaid, and the publisher has the right to continue to send his paper until whatever may be due for it is fully paid; then an order to discontinue must be obeyed. It is hoped that every one who reads this, that is indebted to the paper, will bring or send to the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it.
