Mr. Chairman; Members of the Perry Centennial Commission; Ladies and Gentlemen: This is indeed a happy day! What American heart is there that is not stirred with feeling of National pride and a sense of deeper, broader, larger patriotism, as we stand here today looking backward just one hundred years. Making ours indeed a university and our land in fact, as in land of justice, and of free equality and opportunity to land on all the earth. Perry's Little Brother Historians have written, painting, and artists have painted colors the stories of I. Elliot, of Yarmell. What might conflict, what conquest of arms, what supremacy of American seamanship and soldiery, what daring and courage, what heroism and self-sacrifice were displayed within these very waters a hundred years ago, all Christendom knows full well. What challenged progress and development, material, intellectual and ethical has been achieved during this century of peace, between England and America, historians and chroniclers are daily kept busy in their efforts to record. When on that September afternoon the unconquered Perry, fresh from the deck of the battered Lawrence, drove the Niagara's masthead, cut his way to the British Squadron, dismantled the "Detroit," shattered the "Queen Charlotte," and forced to unconditional surrender the entire British fleet, he lifted above the clouds to shine in immortal glory, not only his own forever honored name, but the names also of the "Lawrence," the "Niagara," the "Ariel," the "Scorpion," the "Tigress," the "Triple," the "Somera," the "Ohlo," and the 430 dauntless seamen who could die, but never could "give up the ship." And we gather here on this historic spot, a hundred years after the battle's spot, and the victory now, to celebrate, to commemorate, to rejoice, not so much in the victory of the war, but in the peace; and to learn, if we may, some lessons that will tend toward A Litany of Atlanta Silent God, Thou whose left our ears an-hungere Hear us, good Lord!

When our devils do deviltry, curse Thou the doer and the deed: curse them as we curse them, do to them all and more than ever they have done to innocence and weakness, to womanhood and home. Have mercy upon us, miserable sinners! And yet whose is the deeper guilt? Who made these devils? Who nursed them in crime and fed them on injustice? Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public iniquity? Thou knowest, good God! Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guile be easier than innocence, and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty? Justice, O Judge of men! Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead? Have not seers seen in Heaven's halls Thine hearsed and lifeless form stark amidst the black and rolling smoke of sin, where all along bow bitter forms of endless dead? Awake, Thou that sleepest! Thou art not dead, but flown afar, up hills of endless light, thru blazing corridors of suns, where worlds do swing of good and gentle men, of women strong and free—far from the cozenage, black hypocrisy and chaste prostitution of this shameful speck of dust! making ours indeed a universal peace, and our land in fact, as in rame, the land of justice, and of freedom; of equality, the fairest land on all the earth. Perry's Little Brother. Historians have written, poets have sung, and artists have painted colors the stories of Perry's Elliot, of Yarnall and Brooks, of Dobbins and Dr. Parons; and yet somehow strange as it may seem there is no character in all that thrilling drama that has for me a greater fascination than that of Alexander, Perry's Little Brother. Delight to read of his love and devotion to his loyalty and anguish; how he was with Perry; with Hartford; amid the rigors from Hartford to Albany; from Albany to the Lakes; at his side when shot and shell tore away-rigging, masts and bulwarks, resulting in a carnage unparalleled in naval warfare; with him with his lightness over the port-gangway with his lightness over the little boat while rushed shot and grape churned the water on every side; with him when lightly he stepped on Niagara's deck; with him when the inrepel, ill-fated, Barclay pulled down the British fighting flag and displayed the flag of tussle; with him when he penned the matches and met the enemy and are ours." And do you ask me why the story of Alexander, the story of the "Little Brother" loyalty, heroism and devotion possesses so great a charm for me? Perhaps this is why: The battle over the victory won, Oliver Hazard Perry enters into full enjoyment of a soldier's and a sea captain's reward.

PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 1, 1913. A city lay in travail, God our Lord, and from her loins sprang twin Murder and Black Hate. Red was the midnight; clang, crack and cry of death and fury filled the air and trembled underneath the stars when church spires pointed silently to Thee. And all this was to sate the greed of greedy men who hide behind the veil of vengeance! Bend us Thine ear, O Lord! In the pale, still morning we looked upon the deed. We stopped our ears and held our leaping hands, but they—did they not wag their heads and leeer and cry with bloody jaws: Cease from Crime! The word was mockery, for thus they train a hundred crimes while we do cure one. Turn again our captivity, O Lord! Behold this maimed and broken thing; dear God it was an humble black man who toiled and sweat to save a bit from the pittance paid him. They told him: Work and Rise. He worked. Did this man sin? Nay, but some one told how some one said another did—one whom he had never seen nor known. Yet for that man's crime this man lieth maimed and murdered, his wife naked to shame, his children, to poverty and evil. Hear us, O heavenly Father! Doth not this justice of hell stink in Thy nostrils, O God? How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance? Pile the pale frenzy of blood-crazed brutes who do such deeds high on Thine altar, Jehovah Jireh, and burn it in hell forever and forever! Forgive us, good Lord; we know not what we say! Bewildered we are, and passion-tost, mad with the madness of a mobbed and mocked and murdered people; straining at the armposs of Thy Throne, we raise our shackled hands and charge Thee, God, by the bones of our stolen fathers, by the tears of our dead mothers, by the very blood of Thy crucified Christ: What meaneth this? Tell us the Plan; give us the Sign! Afro-Americans Have Proved Loyalty, but what of Alexandra? and what of the 109, the "Little brother in black" whose loyalty, devotion and love for this country have never rightfully been questioned? Like his brother he has been with you—his bigger brother—who has been until now. -With you at Boston at Bunker Hill, where Crispus Attucks, Peter Salem and a dozen Sable-hued, shed first blood for American Independence. And who can forget the sirties? the horrible years of the Civil War, when brother fought against brother, father against son, and our glorious nation of freedom, and our narcissistic strife? How dark were those days? perilled was the Union. Yet when Lincoln's call came forth from Washington, a call for volunteers, a call for men who would bare their breasts to shot and shell for the reuputing of a severed nation, the "Little Brother" answered "We're coming Father Abraham, 200,000 strong." the fuller stars were falling from the folds of old Grey, falling into the dust of secession and rebellion; but beneath those falling stars nearly 200,000 colored marches marched side by side with their "Bigger Brother," caught those falling stars on the points of bristling bays, pinned them back within the folds of the star-stangled-banner, sealed them with the blood and marched on, singing the "Union forever, hurrah, boys hurrah!" Colored Heroes At El-Caney. In the late unpleasantness with Spain, it was the 25th Inf. (the little brother in black) that was first called to move in preparation for war. Soon followed the 9th and 10th Cavalry and those black regulars acquitted those men, who is told in official records, and in the press publications of that day. This is what a leading journal said of the 25th at El-Caney: "American valor never shone with greater luster than when the twenty-fifth infant swept up the sizing of the rough riders. The rescue of the rough riders. Two of the men came into view, but the bullets were flying like driving hall; the enemy were in trees and ambushes with smokeless powder, and the rough riders were biting the dust and were threatened with annihilation. A rough rider described the feelings of the regiment when they saw the other regiment. Finally this rough rider, a Southerner, heard a well-known yell. And out of the distance moved a regiment as if on dress parade, faces set like steel, keeping step like a machine, their comrades falling here, there, everywhere, moving into the storm of invasions. The light Brigade step, passing conquering up the hill, never stopping until El-Caney was won. This was the Twenty-fifth Regiment (Colored), United States Infantry. The charge of the Twenty-fifth is deserving of comparison with the Crimean War Light Brigade" in the Crimean War Custer in the Massacre of the Big Horse. This is the story of El-Caney as told by a religious journal a few days after the conflict. Another tells of the memorable charge when the rough riders and the 71st N. Y. were pressing up the heights of the canyon. An Hill and the one was singing "The Mountain" and the other the "Star-Spangled Banner," the black regulars burst forth with the music of their hearts; "There'll be a Hot Time in this Old Town Tonight." But why multiply instances! Why recount the battles. American history actually includes the heroism of heroism and of valor, of dauntlessness and unwavering loyalty on the part of the "Little Brother" in the Nation. The 109 who fought with Perry upon these waters a hundred years ago were of the vanguard of that army of the vanguard men who love the stars and stripes and suffered, bled and died for the preservation of this Nation. The Height of Moral Herolam. But it is not upon field of battle alone that the "Little Brother" has earned his meed of praise. The late ex-Governor Northern of Georgia paid this tribute to the "Little Brother in the entire male population of almost the whole population was absent from home in war, the children were left without protection except as it was furnished by the strong arm of the Negroes, who were sworn upon the plantations of southern states. It never occurred for a southern state to be able to uprising or any insurrection our loved ones. We knew their attachment and their loyalty." Proceeding he said: "The South has made one great mistake attributable, I am sure to poverty and the bitterness of a monochrome construction, in failing to rear a monochrome slaves of 1860 and 1865, for their unceasing devotion to our homes and the gallant protection they gave the women and children of the South during dark days of our bloody civil strife. If we had occurred in the history of Nations I would read it. All honor and gratitude to the Negro as we knew him before and during the war." Did Gov. Northern speak of building a monochrome dark days of black men from 1860 to 1865? If they had counted colored men, famous and children who have been murdered, lynched and burned since 1865 could be gather together for me, I could with them build a monument whose face pierce the milky way. In another paragraph he paid to the "Little Brother in America this further tribute: "Before issuing his proclamation in September, 1862, threatening the emancipation of the slaves the following January, it is a matter of force. Lincoln has hesitated most seriously upon taking a step. Mr. Seward had lived in the South and he knew the conditions that offered fearful opportunity for massacre and blood, with the women of the slave community to the madding fury of three men slaves if Mr. Lincoln's proclamation should stir them to insurrection. This really seemed to be the only way in which the slave element should be "no wonder." Lincoln expressed it "No wonder." Mr. Seward was appalled.

The proclamation, however, was issued; the civilized world listened in strained and painful slaughter and butchery the like of which history had never yet recorded. Horror hung upon the face of humanity. And yet not an assault was made, not a child was slain, nor a residence burned. Every Negro slave of the South stood true to the trust com- ments of the mourners, our mothers, our wives, and our sisters in the midst of dangers that never before were made possible in civilized warfare." Such is the tribute which ex-Governor Northen paid to the race to which Perry's immortal 109 belonged. And who would for a moment believe that such a race has so deteriorated as to be guilty of the horrible assault against it? Does the "Big Brother" in this American Nation, big in wealth and resources, big in culture and intellectual attainment, big in all that goes to make a people great; does the "Big Brother," of this Nation feel between himself and the "Little Brother," who has always proven his loyalty, his courage and devotion, that the spoils are equally divided? What has the "Big Brother" taken? What has the "Little Brother" been allowed? We ask for an equal deal; nothing more; nothing less. Today we speak of peace, of universal peace! HOW CAN THERE BE UNIVERSAL PEACE WITHOUT UNIVERSAL IMPERIAL PEACE? The immortal Perry, one hundred years apart from this very spot the thrilling message, "We've met the enemy and they are ours." Today the American people are engaged in mortal conflict for far more potent, far more dreadful and more armed cruisers; enemies which either must themselves be conquered or they must conquer us. Is the "Big Brother," really big enough for the task, more difficult than the opportunity that is his? And, American, one who loves this country and believes in this country's greatness and future goodness, the "Little Brother" stands here today to plead the same case—we ask for nothing more, and we will be satisfied with nothing less. And what does this fair chance mean? YOUR son, Mr. Chairman, sets out upon his career with a hundred voices to hall and urge him on. His race is with him, bearing nim up in its sympathies and in its achievements as he enters the chapel upon his. The colored boy begins his ascent with his race a drag upon him; aye, the weight of the whole mass must he lift. If he finds one voice to encourage him, there are a thousand to sneer and bid him keep his place. All the way up there are those who contest him, and he is sure that if at least he shall succeed in standing upon the higher ranges of attainment he will be in an atmosphere that is chill indeed. But if there is any discipline ,in MINNESOTA HISTORICAL COUPIEY N. W. Main 202 T. S. Center 101 JOHN C.

Christ of all the Pitites! suffering, any dignity in bearing the cross, any reward for those who overcome, then surely some day our "Bigger Brother," yea, the world, will doff their hats to the sturdy ones of us who against unparalleled odds have pushed their way; who have climbed their fingers, and bruised feet, lines of Klimp. But there is neither East, nor West, nor neither, breed nor birth when two strong men stand face to face they come from the ends of the earth." What a Fair Chance Means. A Fair Chance signifies the Afro-American's liberty to be his friend. If he can maneuver the farm, dig the mine, and run the engine; if he can plead the case and treat the sick; if he can in verse, in marble, or on canvas, mold his thoughts in forms of power and exquisite beauty; if he can掌握 the must and leader of men—those There must Be No Hinderance Placed To The Exercise Of His Talents. But the liberty which civilization is quite willing, theoretically at least, to accord, almost everywhere today involves something else which civilization is more reluctant to grant; that something is EQUALITY. Industrial Equality, the opportunity to earn on fair terms, and enjoy to the fullest the harvest of one's labor. Educational Equality, the opportunity to know the truth which air belongs to all, and in that knowledge to be free. It is to be lamented that some of our best friends, at one time began to waver as to the expediency of giving the "Little Brother" the higher education. Political Equality, the opportunity to register, to vote, to make laws, aye, and to admit to the "Little Brother" cannot just be carried from any privileges of citizenship, even the emoluments of office. Social Equality, and there is a phenomenon of dread haunting this suggestion, which is wholly insubstantial. Social Equality means the truest sense of the term, means the sorts and conditions of people in life that must live side by side in a spirit of mutual helptfulness and Good Will. We cannot legislate social relationships; they are not determined by the stress they are governed by other stresses or the solutions of man. They are fixed by the laws of Nature and of Nature's God. The Work of Fifty Years the Work of Fifty Years. Fifty years have passed since the immortal mission issued his great Proclamation of Emancipation in short that space of time the Afro-American people have made good; from the depths we have climbed to the heights. From 3,000,000 we have increased to 10,000,000. Beginning in poverty we have amassed fully a billion years of property and have 62 banks owned by us ourselves. From ignorance we have up so that according to the last census seventy percent of the race have wiped out the stain of illiteracy. Colored men have attained eminence in all of the learned professions. The time is for me to recount the achievement we have written their names high on the Why! in Chicago alone there are three Afro-Americans of world wide $2.40 PER YEAR.

All of this has been accomplished in spite of prejudice, oppression and hardships which would have deterred a less determined people. But, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Perry Centennial Commission, although we are nominally free, we have not yet reached the full stature of manhood in all the states of the world, done and are still doing our part. We have never been loyal to the flag—no black and white, has ever torn the stairy banner down. But we feel that we have not had a square deal. In many of the states we are distranchised because of our and civil jim crow laws disgrace the stature of the southern state. Why? if a patriotic black man to visit the tomb of Washington, he would be compelled to ride in a jim crow car. A hundred years ago, Perry protected when many colored men were sent to Washington with him upon the "Lawrence." Commandment, God bless his memory, replied: have yet to learn that the color of a man's skin affects his qualifications or his usefulness. I have fifty colored men on board my ship and many of them are among my bravest and best friends. This comport with the treatment of efficient and trustworthy Afro-Americans in Washington today? Protests Against Segregation. In the departments of Washington, clerks have recently been set apart from their fellows with whom they have worked for years, as if they were lepers. I do not know that you are aware of these things, but the "Little Prisoner" such segregation is unfair, unjust American and un-Christian. He enters his vigorous protest and appeals to you, to Mr. Taft, and you Governors these several states, to exert all your authority on the these discriminations, and that employees in the civil service of this Government are treated as human beings without regard to race, color or creed. And now Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen of the commission, thanking you in behalf of our fellowless seamen, who fought with Perry in years ago, in behalf of the 10,000,000 Afro-Americans who love and honor the flag, for this opportunity of speaking for them today, I plead with you that we should not be we shall also determine that the forces of our American life shall be turned upon justice, and unright-ness as exhibited in every form of discrimination, disfranchisement, no prob-obidence and tim crism, the enemies of national life, to the end that the day be far distant when white men and colore, native and foreign born, South as well as North, shall look upon the sated fleet of all the enemies of the peace within this great R-public and the truth exclaim "We've met the enemy and they are ours." leaf to our prayer and dumb to you too art not white, O Lord, a these wild, blasphemous words. hers, and in Thy soul's soul sit some shadowings of the velvet AVE YOU READ THE ARPEL?

For the first time in the history of the United States, the machinery of the government of 90,000,000 people is being used to humilate and degrade 10,000,000 of its loyal and law-abiding citizens. In some of the departments of the Federal Government at Washington Afro-American employees have been segregated from their former associates and fellow workers and ordered to use separate retiring rooms. In some instances cages have been built to separate Afro-American and white government clerks. No other class is oblified to bear this badge of degradation. There is no warrant in law for these orders of subordinate officials. The facts have been brought to the attention of the Department heads and thousands of petitions, memorials and letters have been sent to President Wilson, but up to this writing he has not seen fit to rescué this infamous un-American policy. The clerks who have been humilified by the segregation orders are in no sense wards of the government. They have won their places by examinations in competition with white men and women and the government which they have so faithfully and efficiently served has no right to place upon them this badge of dishonor. It is not a question of social equality that chimera which so many Caucasians claim to fear, but of civil equality which is the right of every citizen. Heretofore the attempts to degrade the citizenry have been the work of individual states in the Southern tier; the Federal Government must be held responsible for this new attempt to establish that impossible thing, caste in a Republic. Honest fair minded Americans feel that the fair fame of our country is being trailed in the dust; they hang their heads at this grigious wrong. it is the Nation's shame. We hold President Wilson responsible because in the final analysis the JOHN H. HARRIS DR. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOISE Editor The Crisis, the Great Manhood Magazine.

To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest.

The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. acts of his subordinate officials are his and he has the power to end this injustice by a word. We have not lost faith in the President and we believe that he will carefully consider the many protests which have been made and give the word which a Christian Statesman should give, that during his administration there shall be no segregation or discrimination on account of race, creed or color among the servants of the government. The ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1097 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney acids other things on Sunday said, "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." A GREAT RACE DEFENDER. Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor of the institutional A. M. E. Church, Chicago, is looming up these days as the greatest advocate of the rights of the race in the Northwest. He has held meetings, presented resolutions, memorials and petitions against racial segregation by the fea eral government and has caused hundreds of persons to write letters of protest to President Wilson. Recently he was selected to represent the Afro-American people at the Centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie and how well he did the work is shown on the first page of this issue where the full text of his speech may be found. He was selected by the Chicago Jews as the most suitable person to represent the colored race at the Jewish protest meeting held there last Sunday. He made a characteristic speech comparing the Afro-Americans to the Jews. His address was so well received that he was invited to speak at an overflow meeting, where it was acknowledged he made the best speech of the day. It was an impassioned appeal for justice to the Jews who are persecuted by the Russians in Europe and the Afro-Americans who are persecuted by the Christians in America. His remarks were greeted with deafening applause by the audience composed principally of Jews. Just now, owing to the silence of those who were in former years ready to defend their people and the large influx of immigrants from the South, there is great need of a great leader in Chicago, one who will not compromise on the rights of the race and Dr. Carey seems to fill the pill. He must stick to his text and never yield an inch to those who would drag his people down. If he continues to fight the battles of the race as he is now doing without fear or favor, he will in a short time become the acknowledged leader of the Afro-American people in the West and there will be none able to successfully dispute his title. ACCURSED BE THEY IF THEY YIELD. For more than a quarter of the century the editor of THE APEAL has struggled to give the Afro-American people of the West a newspaper which would defend their rights. A complete file has been preserved and the editor is proud to say that not a single false note has been sounded. THE APEAL has always advised its readers never to relinquish a civil right and to aid their Southern brethren to regain the many rights which have slipped away because of the activities of jim crow propagandists. THE APEAL has never been a profitable business proposition in itself, the editor has made his living out of his job printing office and from other sources of income, but he feels that he has done something to aid the Afro-American people and the consciousness of having fought for the right compensates him for the years of hard work and the expenditure of thousands of dollars. The editor of THE APPEAL is a father and the one thing he has endeavored to impress upon the minds of his children is self respect, especially as it relates to demanding all the rights of American citizenship. He is a poor man and has little of this world's goods to be bequeath them, but if they have learned their lesson well and will suffer hardships and privations and even prefer to die rather than degrade their souls by willingly accepting any treatment which is in any way inferior to that accorded to other Americans, the editor will pass into the Great Beyond happy in the thought that he has left his offspring a priceless heritage. The editor of THE APPEAL would rather see all of his children in their graves than to feel that they will ever even in their minds consider the proposition of becoming Jim crowlaws and if they are ever willing to give up liberty and become servile sycophants, may God's most awful curse descend upon them and their children and may their children's children be accursed through all time and eternity. "I SEE AND I AM SATISFIED." A recent number of the New York Independent contains an article by Professor Kelly Miller of Howard University entitled, "I see and I am satisfied." It is a resume of race history and the professor expresses himself as being greatly pleased with what has been accomplished since his advent on earth about fifty years ago and with conditions as they are today. Prof. Miller is nearer that great seat of American prejudice—the National Capital than the writer, but out here in Minnesota THE APEAL is included to regard the Miller view as somewhat distorted. It is a joke to say that the American heart will beat true to the higher impulse. Christianity is all right until it strikes the color line and then it is a farce. Kelly Miller is a black man but even he does not realize the remorseless, unrelenting prejudice which resides in the average Caucasian heart. The professor's soul "abounds with reassurance and hope" just as orders have been issued by government officials which say that white and colored employees must be separated in the toilets. By the way—did not the professor about fifteen years ago suggest "self-efacement as the solution of the race problem? With the United States government segregating his race, with the various states enacting Jimcrow laws, with the Christian church ordering Afro-American worshipers from the House of God, with Innocent colored men still the victims of mob murder, with hundreds of thousands of Caucasian mothers instilling race prejudice into their prattling babes, with Bishops of a Christian church telling the country that enfranchisement was a crime and United States Senators demanding the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, Kelly Miller is satisfied! Seven years have passed since the bloody massacre of innocent Afro-Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and we reprint Du Bois' famous "A Litany of Atlanta" that the race may not forget the awful days when Colored men, women and children were shot down like dogs because of their race. Not a single person who was killed had been guilty of any crime whatever. The massacre was caused by the incendiary editorials of the Atlanta News and Journal, owned by Hoke Smith, since Governor of Georgia and now United States senator from that state. In his gubernatorial canvass Smith also made incendiary speeches inciting the Caucasians against Afro-Americans and demanding that the race be disranchised. This has since been done by legislative enactment. Senator Hoke Smith is said to be the author of the jim crow policy of the present administration and he has the active support of Vardaman, Hefflin, Roddenberry and nearly every Southerner in Congress. Every Afro-American parent ought to bring "A Litany of Atlanta" to the attention of his children. Let them commit it to memory—it is a gem of perfect English. Let it burn into the souls of your children so that they may know that in its efforts to degrade the Colored race and reduce it to a condition not far removed from slavery, the South does not hesitate to murder innocent men, women and children. OUGHT TO CHANGE THE NAME. An Afro-American in Philadelphia desired to take a summer course at the Y. M. C. A. in that city but was refused because of his race. His father threatened to give the matter to the press and demand that the name Christian be taken from the organization. The young man was then admitted. At Newport, R. I., the Y. M. C. A. refused to renew the membership of the son of a distinguished Afro-American physician and also denied admission to another colored man. In various other Northern cities Afro-Americans have been refused membership in so called Christian Associations and a dark-baked Christian who had the temerity to enter a white Y. M. C. A. in the South would be taking desperate chance—he might be lynched for his audacity. The American Y. M. C. A. has been one of the greatest mediums for the spread of the infamous American race prejudice all over the world. The little booklet published by the Isthmian Canal Commission Y. M. C. A. states in plain English that only white men are admitted to membership in Canal Zone Y. M. C. A's. Young Men's Christian Association is a misnomer. It is not Christian in any sense of the word. The meek and lowly Christ has never entered the doors of the American Y. M. C. A. The initials Y. M. C. A. evidently mean Young Men's Color-line Association. Either let Christ in or change the name. MOHAMMEDANISM SPREADING. A Berlin correspondent writes that Mohammedanism is gaining more proselytes than is Christianity, among the natives of the African colonies and tribes that once professed the latter are now relapsing into the former. The result is the most natural thing in the world. The missionary is stuffed full of color prejudice, he accepts his calling because it is the best job in sight, and he cares nothing for the native, but holds him in utter contempt as a "nigger." The native in a short time learns to care nothing for the missionary, because he discovers that he is a hypocrite and a fraud. He repays his contempt in kind. A man who is saturated with American race prejudice is a very poor specimen of Christianity and is not needed by the natives. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER. William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian; deserves great credit for the work he has accomplished in the fight against segregation. It was he who conceived the idea of getting up a monster petition to combat the evil. He aroused a strong sentiment over the country through his own paper and other colored papers and secured the names of thousands of people who dared to protest against injustice. Through the Massachusetts Democratic Congressional delegation he has secured an appointment with President Wilson and on November 6, he will head a committee which will present the petition and give a resume of the many reasons why segregation is unAmerican and unjust to a group of loyal American citizens. We publish in this issue the form of a petition to President Wilson against Jim Crowing and color segregating by the federal government. CUT IT OUT, SIGN IT YOURSELF. GET YOUR ACQUAINTANCES TO SIGN IT AND THEN FORWARD TO SECRETARY TO BE FORWARDED TO THE PRESIDENT AT WASHINGTON. Copies of the petition have been placed in the hands of a number of men in the Twin Cities and elsewhere in the state and every Afro-American, and every actual believer in the brotherhood of man, black or white to whose notice it comes is requested to sign it. This is not one of the ways in which we can show our dissatisfaction with the outrageous discriminations which are constantly perpetrated upon us. SIGN THE PETITION. A writer in one of the papers says that the spirit of Chicago is wanted in the South. He of course referred to the hustle and bustle of the great city. It might be well also to take along a little of the freedom from race prejudice so creditable to the city. At the Jewish mass meeting in Chicago to protest against the persecution of the race by Russia, Rabbi Hirsch said that it would be well to utter the American protest softly while so many Afro-Americans were lynched in the United States. American Christianity is a travesty on the real article. The main object in the life of the average Caucasian-American Christian seems to be to hold his black brother down. Answering a call for more copies of Dr. Carey's splendid speech, we are reproducing it. Beware the idees of November. You must now buy and burn coal. At Washington, D. C., Protests Against Race Segregation — Cause of Race Finds Able Champion. Special to THE APPEAL Washington, Oct. 28. Three thousand American citizens of both races gathered at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church last night and publicly protest against the un-American policies of the Wilson administration in segregating the Afro-American employees of the government and the effort to establish a system of caste in this country. The crowd was so great that some necessary to close the doors and were unable to gain admittance. An overflow meeting was held in the street which was addressed by Prof. Tunnel of Howard University. The crowd called for Rev. Walter H. C. He also delivered a speech denouncing the segregation plan. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York evening Post, was the principal speaker at the meeting in 1912, when it bitterly denounced segregation. He said: "Under the very shadow of the capitol a monstrous unwritten edict has gone forth that the employees of the Nation with dark skins shall be set in their work; that there shall be introduced to employees, based not upon efficiency, or lack of efficiency, but purely upon physical attributes. Aked to Keep Colored People Cool. "I have personally been appealed to by authority to do my best to keep the children in 'cool and just equippeol.'"

Wild Cheers for Villard. Wild applause greeted Mr. Villard's remark that he wished with all his heart the segregation here might prove the "rabbit-like incident the colored people needed to arouse them to a knowledge of their danger and strength: Preceding Mr. Villard's address brief remarks in defense of the attitude of the colored people were heard from Justice Wendell Phillips Staff. the Rev.

C., Sunday night to protest against the action of the Russian government in prosecuting Mendel Bellau, a Jew of Klev charged with murder." Although it has been proven false, many times this ritual murder has persisted against the Jews for hundreds of years. Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. Church of Chicago, sent the following telegram to the Washington mass meeting, approving the protest and attention to the similarity of the treatment of the Jews in Russia and the Colored Church in the United States: "Greeting.

FIGHTS RACE SEGREGATION. O. G. Villard, New York Editor, Denounces Baltimore Plan. Criticizes Wilson for Separation in Government Departments. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 20.—(Special). The opening of a fight against a proposed ordinance which would restrict Afro-American residents to certain sections of Baltimore was made tonight by Oswald Garrison Villard of New York at a mass meeting in Bethel A. M. E. church. Mr. Villard is editor of the New York Evening Post and chairman of board of directors of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People. The mass meeting was arranged by the local branch of the association. Mr. Villard attacks and only 'he proposed ordinance but not the attitude of President Wilson in permitting segregation in the various governmental departments. Compare Baltimore to Russia. "I am here to protest against the unAmerican policy of segregation of the races now attempted for the third time by ordinance in this city," Mr. Villard said. "We oppose this policy for many reasons, its contrary to the best interests of the community as it is opposed to the threat of the culture of the colored population which it tends to degrade; it is an attempt to establish on American soil the abominable Russian Ghetto, from which hundreds of thousands are now fleeing. "It is unworkable, economically impossible and indefensible, and bound, if attempted, to increase and not decrease race hatred and friction. Finally, it is another step in the persistent two unequal classes of citizens within the republic—the advantaged and the disadvantaged." The ghetto, the segregating of certain groups in a city's life, has gone out of existence everywhere in Europe save only in Russia. "That any American city can even lean in this direction is an anomaly and disgrace to our civilization. Let us erase the name of Baltimore and call it our Kleff, our Odessa, our Kishenev, our Moscow. "But, it will be objected, has not the federal government recently set an example of discrimination in the department at Washington? Undeniable. The addition of policy was merely an expression of the state prejudice of the southern portion of the administration, the president, and certain members of his cabinet. "But President Wilson's philosophy is wrong, his democracy gravely at fault. "Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the disfranchised and enfranchised, to say that there shall be two kinds of government embodying them are on the high road to convoking an unpleasant law, which will never know peace and quiet, as long as there are discriminations among its citizens."

On the Souvenir Edition, issued by THE APPEAL Oct. 25th, in Commemoration of the Fifthth Anniversary of Emancipation. In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation, the St. Paul Appeal has produced a special which is highly creditable to its editor, John Q. Adams. Moreover it is an index of the development of the race in whose interest Mr. Adams has labored long and patiently in St. Paul. Fifty years ago such an achievement would have been impossible. Upon the conditions which made such an edition possible and to the aid of its itself we congratulate its enterprising editor—St. Paul Pioneer Press. Mr. J. Q. Adams, City, I just received a copy of THE APPEAL, issued as a commemorative edition of the fiftieth anniversary of the penning of the emancipation proclamation and the whole paper is so credible to the publisher, that I am sending you my hearty congratulations. The colored people of the Twin Cities, as well as of the entire northwest, have reason to feel proud of THE APPEAL and its editorial staff. Tours truly, JULIUS A. SCHMAHL, Secretary of State. LOOK!

Baltimore Man Believes He Is Son of Publisher Lee. Baltimore—Believing that he is a son of the late William H. Lee, a Chicago publisher, who died last summer, leaving a $200,000 estate, Clarence O. Lee of this city has placed his claims to a share of the property in the hands of lawyers. Lee said his father left Baltimore about twenty-five years ago, and nothing was ever learned of his whereabouts. Two other sons are said to live in Baltimore. Romantic incidents in the early life of William H. Lee, which were published after his death, coincide with the Baltimore claimant's recollections of his father and led to his belief in the relationship. HE SAYS HE'S NOT DEAD. Civil War Veteran Denise He Was Killed at Fair Oaks. Lansing, Mich.—One of the interesting figures in the ranks of the G. A. R. is John Broad of Lansing. According to the war records, Mr. Broad did not participate in the recent reunion here at all. The war records say he is dead. He has been trying for fifty years to convince the officials at Washington that he is alive and he has not succeeded yet. "John Broad, killed at the battle of Fair Oaks, Va.," say the records, and, so far the department is concerned, that all is there to it. "I'm dead yet, officially," he says, "but the boys don't mind associating with a ghost, so I guess it's all right." OPERATION CURES CRAZED MURDERER Trenton, N. J.-Through a successful operation in the New Jersey State prison here James Zakelya, a convicted murderer, who was declared insane, has been restored to full possession of his senses. Zakelya killed a countryman during a fight with other Hungarians in a barroom at Belvidere. N. J., on Oct. 11, 1911. He received an injury to his skull and soon afterward became deranged. He was thought to be dying by the prison authorities and was about to receive the last rites of the Catholic church when the physicians operate. They removed a section of bone from the base of Zakelya's skull, which had been pressing upon his brain, and he is reported to be in full control of his senses. Dr. Samuel Sica, one of the physicians who assisted at the operation, said: "Sikelya is now calm and peaceable. "All his old violence has left him. The relief brought about by the removal of the piece of bone that was pressing on his brain has given the man a new outlook on life. He is now anxious and eager for employment in the prison shows and for the crime he committed has a normal man's abhorrence. The injury, as I understand, came about in the fight which brought him to prison for murder, but it would seem to me that the operation has changed the man entirely, making him a better man than he was before he received the injury." CAUSE OF FOREST FIRES. Lightning to Blame—Educational Campaign Has Changed Conditions. Washington. Lightning has caused most of the fires this year in national forests, according to reports to the forest service. In former years spark showering locomotives, campers and brush burners were the chief causes of fires. The change is attributed to the educational campaign conducted among users of the forests, as well as to the improvement of the fire patrol system. Dust and wind conditions in southern Arizona and New Mexico make fire risk there imminent. Deaf and Dumb Congress. Glent. Belldrum. The first international congress of the deaf and dumb recently opened here. The proceedings are conducted in the sign language.

Of the Colored Citizens Civic and Commercial League of Minneapolis. There was a very generous acceptance invitation issued by the Colored Citizens Civic and Commercial League of Minneapolis, for its formal opening, on Wednesday evening, October 28, 1913. In the absence of Dr. R. S. Brown, W. H. P. Martin, the well known lawyer, presided. After prayer by Rev. E. H. McDonald, of St. Paul, Mr. Franklin briefly explained the purposes of the League, declaring them to be "to perfect a civil society that is civic and moral betterment of the Afro-American Citizens of Minnesota, in co-operation with certain well known white citizens in full sympathy with such objects." He followed gentlemen were introduced. Julius A. Schmaltz, Secretary of State; Wallace G. Nye, Mayor of Minneapolis; E. J. Westlake, of the Legislature; Wm. R. Morris, lawyer, Minneapolis; Joseph W. Molyneau and John H. Steele, Judges of the District Court; John A. Dahl, Judge of Prosecution; Judge E. F. Waite, of the Juvenile Court. Rev. M. W. Witthers pronounced the benediction. The speakers were in happy accord with the occasion, and gave expression to many sentiments of sympathy and friendship. Principal interest was aroused by Mayor Wallace G. Nye, who spoke in a speech but pointed emphasis of his position on Afro-American Club organizations. Mr. Nye said in part as follows: In the city we have the extremes of society: the most wealthy, and the least wealthy; the most moral and the least moral; the most industrious and desirable, the most degenerate and least desirable. It is the duty of the mayor to so construe the law that the citizens of our city, black and white alike, develop in all things which make for better citizenship. I welcome all such organizations as yours, for I know it can lend valuable aid in the working out of the problems of the Colored people. You need organization—you have suffered beaten and abused by the men of your clubs find in them the recreations and pleasures they desire as long as they are healthful and do injury to society. Recently an individual voice, seeking to speak for the people, has called upon the mayor to suppress certain things among the Colored people declared to be harmful and undesirable. The mayor may not in justice accept the judgment of individual or the stead of an organization. If they do, you and practices among the Colored people of this city are unwise and which you desire to stop, let your organization come to me and say so then I shall act and act promptly, for I shall know that your conclusions are the consensus of wise and earnest deliberation. Let it be fully under control. Let the people of this city have nothing to pose affecting their moral or civic posture, they may come to the city hall and find a welcome as cordial as any class of citizenry could receive.
