When our devils do devilty, 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. We are not better than our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and human men.

Protests in Strong Words Against Lynching, Disfranchisement and Segregation in Every Form. SUMMARY OF ADDRESS TO COUNTRY OF NATIONAL INDEPENDENT EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. Annual Meeting, New York City, Sept., 1914. To recapitulate: Let the American people, and especially the President, in view of the bloody war of all Europe and the probable grant of freedom to Ireland and suffrage to women, freedom to Poles and Films and relief from segregation and political disabilities for the Jews, induced by the needs of warring nations, remember that 12,000,000 native citizens in this country are worse proscribed than those of Europe. We appeal to President Wilson to free Colored Americans from Jim-crow cars, disfranchisement, lynching and segregation, especially under the Federal government at the Federal capital, now, rather than await some awful war here. Southern disfranchisement encourages other forms of lawlessness and renders the Colored citizen helpless in as cowardly fashion as the lynching which its disrespect for law breeds. Jim-crow cars were absurd enough, but residence segregation shows the South knows no limit in proscription. If alone, residence segregation of Federal employees is another delegation to see President Wilson on undoing Federal segregation is advised. As an attempt to reduce Colored Americans to permanent caste is so powerful, acceptance of non-legal segregation in philanthropic institutions in the North is opposed.

By Ray Stannard Baker, in the American Magazine. Oh, my friend, why will men not see that there can be no true civilization while any men in the world are left out of it? and that no race or no nation can go far forward while other races and nations lag behind? "Let the white person again tread the black person under his heel! (Say! which is trodden under heel after all?" It is not enough that we give the alien nations our learning, our religion, our science. What signify all these things? Are we hurt by giving them? Are we not, on the contrary, the material gainers? No, we must be prepared to go further than that, else we have not learned the fundamental concept of religion. It is not the great task of any nation that it shall remain pure, or white, or learned, or that it shall assure to its posterity the possession of land and comfort (though this has been the belief, and the doom, of every aristocracy from the beginning of time). The great task of every advanced race or nation is to more love—more light—into the world. A stand for racial aristocracy means war, hatred, barren exclusiveness, and finally degeneration and failure; a stand for racial democracy and brotherhood means love in the world, friendliness, sacrifice, new fertility, a wider sweep for faith, and final triumph. Individuals may suffer in the process, nations may perish, but civilization, the kingdom of humanity, will grow, will become more beautiful. We are willing to do everything for Chinamen, or Hindus or for our own poor, except the one essential thing, yes, educate them (a little); yes, teach them religion or realism; yes, give them shoes and costumes; but do not disturb us in our luxury. It won't work; it won't work. So long as we refuse to give ourselves we have failed utterly. VOL. 30. NO. 39. ```markdown ``` Thou knowest, good God! Justice, O Judge of men! Awake, Thou that sleepest! SUMMARY OF ADDRESS TO COUNTRY OF NATIONAL INDEPENDENT EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. Annual Meeting, New York City, Sept. 1914. To recapitulate: Let the American people, and especially the President, in view of the bloody war of all Europe and the probable grant of freedom to Ireland and suffrage to women, freedom to Poles and Finns and relief from segregation and political disabilities for the Jews, induced by the needs of warring nations, remember that 12,000,000 native citizens in this country are worse proscribed than those of Europe. We appeal to President Wilson to free Colored Americans from Jim-crow cars, distranchisement, lynching and segregation, especially under the Federal government at the Federal capital, now, rather than await some awful war here. Southern distranchisement encourages other forms of lawlessness and renders the Colored citizen helpless in as cowardly fashion as the lynching which its disrespect for law breeds. Jim-crow cars were absurd enough, but residence segregation shows the South knows no limit in proscription, if let alone. Segregation of Federal employees is the most alarming symptom. The petition presented against it to President Wilson by a delegation of this league checked it only. We ask President Wilson to entirely remove this nationalizing of caste. This proscription, visited upon no Americans but those of color, is serious and not to be minimized. Colored citizens are warned that they must ever resist it by agitation and organization. Organization of Colored persons is the only means to gain rights or retain them if gained. We protest against disfranchisement, lynching, segregation, denial of civil and political rights. We want only the rights all others enjoy, even the foreigner. We shall never cease until all citizens have full equal rights in every state. We urge the use of the ballot as the real weapon of self-defense, voting independently for our rights and liberties and not for party. Greetings and appreciations are extended to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Constitution League for aid, and thanks given Congressman T. C. Thacher and A. J. Peters of Massachusetts for securing a hearing against segregation and opposing it. Federal segregation as practiced in the departments and encouraged in various bills should be made an issue as to supporting candidates for Congress, and no doubtful men on these issues should be voted for.

That is not true, as there are more white men in the order than colored and Odd Fellows may be found in every part of the world. It means that millions of white men will fraternize with, and extend the right hand of fellowship to, the colored men of America. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is an organization of white men in the United States who withdrew from the G. U. Q. O. F. because colored men were admitted.

Atlanta, in the Day of Death, 1906. THE LYNCHI An Appeal Editorial Suggesting to Europe the Formation of an Army Their Most Inhuman Gener War devastates Europe. The "Christian" emperors have ordered the fool poor people to go out and kill one other and after attending church where their swords are blessed by the priests and they pray to God for success, the massacre starts. THE APPEAL wishes to call the attention of the murder-mad monarcus to the possibility of forming an army corps in this country, which for efficiency in its chosen line would make the most ferocious, blood-thirsty and inhuman generals look like a lot of pilkers. Why not organize a "Lynchers' Corps?" Let it be under the supreme command of Governor Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina. Senator Ben Tillman, also of South Carolina, the man who boasted in the United States Senate that Afro-Americans were killed because they tried to exercise their rights as free men, would be an ideal man for chief of staff. Ben is a great "Christian" and it is said that he knows more about the Bible than any other Senator. Senator Vardaman, that great "Christian" who has devoted his life to the undoer of colored brethren; Senator Williams also colored brethren; whose recent speech in Congress was more bitter than his colleague's against half of the residents of his state, and Senator Hoak Smith, whose newspaper contributed much to cause the Atlanta riot, are just the men for Brigadier-Generals. Frank Clark of Florida, Charles Gordon Edwards of Georgia, both authors of segregation bills, Congressman Hardwick of Georgia, whose specialty is repeal of fifteenth amendment legislation; James T. Hefflin of Alabama, author of the jimcrow street bill; Hill Harper of Georgia, noted notation segregation; all are "Christian" have a bitter hatred against their co-religionists of other colors and are eminently qualified for places as generals. THE APPEAL suggests that Frank Park, of Sylvester, Georgia, another "Christian" who introduced a bill in Congress, making it unlawful for "negroes to be designated or elected as non-commissioned officers in the United States Army," be commissioned high private general rear rank. The rest of the officers could be selected from the locally prominent segregationists and Samuel L. West, a "Christian" and author of the Baltimore segregation ordinance is certainly entitled to a captaincy. By all means, Dr. Lyman Abbott, who stands preeminent among American Christians who have handed out Bible bunk in defense of subtitle attestations, is Americans ofarker hue, should be named as chapain-in-chief. Rev. Frost, who was the direct cause of the infamous Kentucky law which undid the real Christian work of that saint John G.

Bible beater who stated publicly that he would "not receive a colored Christian into fellowship of his (not Christ's) church;" "Pastor" Russell, who has made a million dollars out of the rot he sends out weekly about Christianity and the brotherhood of man, but ordered colored Christians to the gallery at the production of the "Creation" in New York; and the Catholic priest in Baltimore who ordered a kneeling Christian woman, said to have been the sister of an Afro-American Catholic priest, out of his church, could be utilized as assistant chaplains. The Wash.-D.C. congregation, who refused to fraternize with an Afro-American minister even while on a visit to the Holy Land, where their Christ was born, ought to be the nucleus of a reserve corps of Bible buncists. All of these people have many times invoked the divine blessing on their ungodly racial prejudices. The ranks of the privates could be recruited from the Southern governors, members of Southern legislatures which have passed discriminating laws, and the men who have participated in "lynching bees" in the South. Then all of the contemptible cowardly curs of the colored race, those who believe that they are inferior to other races, those who favor segregation and discrimination, and Southern Caucasians pat them on their backs and call them "good niggers," ought to be gathered together and designated as body servants for the officers of the corps—they'd be delighted to serve. "The music for the march to battle could be furnished by the Christian people who had charge of the Christian Sunday School convention in Washington, D. C., a year or two ago. Christ said: "Suffer little children to come unto me," but the Washington Christians evidently believing themselves to be superior to their leader, refusing little colored children places in their parade, marched proudly along, singing, "Onward Christian Soldier!" Then the whole aggregation could be shipped away on an unprotected cruiser and if their transport happened to strike a floating mine and they were hurled to——kingdom come, "they never would be missed." DENOUNCE SEGREGATION Chicago A. M. E. Conference Protests Injustice Against Race. One of the most important actions of the A. M. E. Conference which convened in St. Stephen's Church, Chicago, Bishop Lee presiding, was the adoption by a unanimous vote of a protest to President Wilson against segregation in the Government departments at Washington. The resolution of protest was presented by Rev. R. C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review. Rev. A. J. Carey, Rev. J. C. Anderson and Rev. T. A. Smythe were returned to their old charges in Chicago.

ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S sas SHAME. | Eight years have passed since the bloody massacre of innocent Afro Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and we reprint from the Independent, Du Bols' famous “A Litany of Atlanta’ that the race may not forget the aw ful days when Colored men, womer and children were shot down like dogs Decouse of thelr race. Not a single porson who wae killed had been gull of any crime whatever, The massacre was caused by the incendiary editorials of the Atlanta News and Journal, owned by Hoax Smith, since governor of Georgla and now United States senator from that state. Jn his gubernatorial canvass Smith algo made incendiary speeches inctt {ing the Caucasians against Afro-Amer fcans and demanding that the race be Aistranchised. ‘This has since ‘been done by legislative enactment. Senator Hoax Smith 1s sald to be the author of the jim erow policy ot the present administration and he has the active support of Vardaman, Wil ams, Clark, Heflin 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 8 gem of perfect English. ‘Let it burn into the souls of your children so that they may know that In ite efforts to de- grade 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, TURKEY'S GREAT COUP. That was a neat coup executed by ‘Turkey. Seeing that the time was opportune she has by a stroke of the pen abolished the obnoxtous system ot extraterritoriality and declared her self supreme in her own house. ‘The principle of extraterritoriality has been very exasperating to the ‘Turks, The alleged “Christian” ‘powers, because the Turks are of Ast atic origin and Mohammedans, assume that they were unable to handle thei own affairs and compelled them by force of their superior warships tc submit to the indignity of allowing ‘consular courts of the various powers to take the place of the regular Turk ish courts. Then Great Britain, Rus sla, Germany, France, Austria and Italy established branch postoffices in the various cities of the Ottoman Em- pire for the use of’foreigners and in order to compete with these usurping establishments the Turks were obliged to sell stamps at prices below the regular postaf unton rates. The subjects of the great powers were treated with moro consideration than ‘Turkish citizens and exempt from tax- ation. ‘Tho situation was almost - unbear able, but the outrageous condition was backed by the combliried. navies of Europe so what could the poor Turks, who had but a fow bum battleships do? When they volced strong pro- tests against the injustice of the thing, the Christian powers simply pointed to their warships. ‘Then came a change. The great Christian powers began to spring at each others’ throats and while they ‘were engaged in the delightful pas: time of murdering men with machine ‘guns, Turkey, which 1s now ruled by the “Young Turks” who have modern: fzea court procedure and brought the ‘tribunals of justice up to date, selzed RACE PREJUDICE. Iam convinced myself that there is no mora evil thing in this present world than Race Pre- judice; none at all, I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. 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 persecu- tion and all the darkest poisons of the human soul, —H, G. Wells in N, Y.

The spectacle of three alleged Christian emperors forcing upoti the World a fearful bloody war has caused the so-called heathen of the Orlent to speak in derision of Christianity and they’ taunt the native converts with the charge that Christianity is waning ‘and that Christian elvilization is only ‘a veneer. ‘This lesson was learned years ago by the Colored people of this coun: try. Although the Afro-Americans have accepted Christianity and in the majority of cases devoutly follow its precepts, they are robbed of their civil rights in many states, they re- celve injustice in many courts, hostile legislatures pase discriminating laws and they are mob-murdered in the Southern tier of states, And then American Caucasian Christianity says: We want you to be Ear 1n order that our numbers may be enlarged, but you are not fit to go to the same church with us, you must go in jim crow Y.

It is supported by evidences ‘on every hand, waiting only the eye fof recognition. Scarcely a day passes Dut something is said or done with this end in view, to emphasize, lest they forget, the conviction for both white ‘man and Negro that the latter is and ‘must remain an inferior. Let me in: ‘stance a few such evidences, onside, frat, the "Sim Crow” legis lation in the manner of its enforce Ment. Such legislation 1s supposed to have for its object the separation of the races in trains, street cars, ete, to save the white people from occasional contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmell ing Negroes, and to prevent’ persona encounters between the whites an¢ blacks. Members of the differen races occupy.the same cars, separated only by absurdiy inadequate Iittle ‘open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and ght that a conductor can move them from ‘one “seat to another with the strength of his little finger. Needles to add, these screens would serve tc obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell of drunken rowdles who sat behind them! In summer cars, black and white passengers .may be separated not even by a make-believe screen; they are simply required, respectively to occupy certain seats’ in the front or the back end of the cars. In Birmingham, Alabama, the fron! seats are assigned to Negroes in all closed cars, and the back seats in al) ‘open ones. "Why the front seats in the fone case, and the back seats in the ‘other, it is not easy to understand in the ight of the letter and alleged spirit of the Jim Crow law! |The un- derlying purpose of the law is clearly not the separation of the races in space; for public sentiment does not insist upon its fulfillment to that end. ‘The underlying purpose of it would seem to be the separation of the races in status, The doctrine of Inequality would be attacked if white and black passengers rode in public conveyances on equal terms; therefore the Negro who rides ina public conveyance must do s0, not as of undoubted right, Dut as with the white man's reeule tion. “This place you may occupy, that other you may not, because Iam Land you are you, lest to you or to me ie should be obscured that ! am I and you are you.” Such is the real spirit Wy therding Grow laws: of the District of Columbia to use the middle of the streets, reserving the sidewanKs tor Jewjawians and other superior people, * | .“MADE.IN U. & A” | Senator Fletcher of Florida, chair man of the senate.committes on com meree, favorably reported the follow ing resolution, which had been sub mitted by Senator Weeks of Massa chusetts: “The secretary of commerce Is here by directed to cause to be prepared ir detail an estimate of the probable cos of sending at least six vessels, now ir the military or naval service of the United States, or otherwise, to the principal port of South America, suct vessels to carry suitable samples o the manufacturers and products o! this: country, together with a reason. lable number of representatives of bust ness or trade organizations, and to adopt such other means as may by him be deemed advisable, to the end that our manufacturers and producers may be forthwith put in direct contact with [the markets of South America.” The majority of the people in Mox. eo, Central and South America aré mixed bloods, Caucasians, Indian and ‘Negroes and all sorts of complicated mixtures and it would undoubtedly be a great idea to load the ship with samples of jimcrow. cars and various other hellish things which are made only in the United States.

Parker-Kennedy Wedding. It is almost invariably the case in the reports of weddings and lists of presents, some egregious blunders will creep in, it matters not how careful the parties concerned may be to escape them. Such was the case in the report of the Parker-Kennedy wedding last week, viz: The word "bride" was used instead of "bridesmaids" in describing their costumes and the word "brocaded" should not have appeared in the description of the bride's gown.

Unfortunately his present state of health will not permit of a public celebration, which the alumni of the University had planned. So it is suggested that anyone who woulid to honor him and help to make his 80th birthday a happy and long-to-be-remembered occasion, should write him a letter or postcard and mall it so as to reach him on the 30th of September. His address is Cyrus Northrop, 519 Tenth avenue southeast, Minneapolis, Minn. The foregoing proposition makes it possible for President Northrop, not connected with the University, to have a hand in helping him to celebrate. The alumni of the University are sending in letters of uniform size which are to be bound in a book and presented to him on his birthday. YOU MUST HEAR The Great Coloratura Soprano MME.

A paradoxical state of affairs was revealed in the testimony of Henry Zebro, an iceman, before Court Commissioner Bates, when Zebro applied admission to the inebriates' home in Willmar. Zebro has been an iceman for several years delivering ice in both "wet" and "dry" wards. He said that at every other house in the "dry" wards a pint bottle of beer would be left for him, while in the "wet" wards there was seldom any beer left on the ice chest for him. Zebro's route consisted of eighty houses in a "dry" ward. Another man worked with him, and every day, he said, and his partner were given forty pints of beer. Each drank half. Finally, he said, the tips from the "dry" wards got him into the habit of drinking too much and so he determined that the only way to stop was to take a "cure." Clarksville, Teenn.,—Lee Warner, 17, white, was shot and killed by a mob of Afro-Americans after it was alleged he assaulted a colored girl.
