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. Colored men are in the Order, which is world-wide, while American white men are barred outside of the United States. --- Done at Atlanta, in the Day of Death, 1906. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS.

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.

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.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914 THE REPUBLIC'S SHAME 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 humiliate 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 obliged to wear 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 humilized by the segregation orders are in no sense wards of the government. They have won their places by examination 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 chimaera 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 in shame. It is the Nation's shame. We hold President Wilson responsible because in the final analysis the role of his subordinate officials are his PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. and he has the power to end this injustice by a law. 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. ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S SHAME. Eight years have passed since the bloody massacre of innocent Afro-Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and we reprint from the Independent, 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 Hoax 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 disfranchised. This has since been done by legislative enactment. Senator Hoax Smith is said to be the author of the jim crow policy of the present administration and he has the active support of Vardaman, Williams, Clark, Hefflin 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. 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 obnoxious system of extraterritoriality and declared herself 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 Asiatic origin and Mohammedans, assume that they were unable to handle their own affairs and compelled them by force of their superior warships to submit to the indignity of allowing consular courts of the various powers to take the place of the regular Turkish courts. Then Great Britain, Russia, Germany, France, Austria and Italy established branch postofficees in the various cities of the Ottoman Empire 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 postal union rates. The subjects of the great powers were treated with more consideration than Turkish citizens and exempt from taxation. The situation was almost unbelievable, but the outrageous condition was backed by the combined navies of Europe so what could the poor Turks, who had but a few bum battleships, do? When they voiced strong protests 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 pastime of murdering men with machine guns, Turkey, which is now ruled by the "Young Turks" who have modernized court procedure and brought the tribunals of justice up to date, seized RACE PREJUDICE. I am convinced myself, evil thing in this present judice; none at all. I am the worst single thing and holds together more abomination than any other world. Through its book of coarse lust, suspicion and all the darkest soul. —H. G. W. I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Prejudice; 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 persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. —H. G. Wells in N. Y. Independent. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. the opportunity to put an end to an unjust and humiliating conditions and "put one over" on the Christians. HEATHENS JEER CHRISTIANS. The spectacle of three alleged Christian emperors forcing upon the world a fearful bloody war has caused the so-called heathen of the Orient to speak in derision of Christianity and they taunt the native converts with the charge that Christianity is waning and that Christian civilization is only a veneer. This lesson was learned years ago by the Colored people of this country. 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 receive injustice in many courts, hostile legislatures pass discriminating laws and they are mob-murdered in the southern tier of states. And then American Caucasian Christianity says: We want you to be Christians in 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. M. C. A.'s. We might permit a Chinaman or a Japanese or a Malay or an Indian or perhaps a dog but not a "nigger." As all of these outrages are committed by people who claim to be Christians it is not strange that the Afro-American has little faith in the Christianity of the Caucasian American. "By their fruits ye shall know them." SPREAD OF MOHAMMEDANISM. Every true Christian should be glad to learn of the remarkable growth of Mohammedanism. Among the colored peoples of the world it is outstripping Americans. This may seem a queer statement but it is true. Christianity is so decadent in America today that there are few real Christians except Afro-Christianity. have been so warped by the infamous The souls of American Caucasians color prejudice rampant in this country that in the majority of cases they are not true followers of the Nazarene. Before the awful color line American Christianity stands paralyzed and dumb. There are today 5,000,000 more Moslems than Christians in the British empire. One-seventh of the whole human race is Mohammed and the proportion is not at a standstill; it is increasing yearly. In Asia and Africa more natives are becoming Mohammeds every year than are turning to Christianity. Today nearly all of the sacred places named in the Bible are under Mohammedan rule. There is a reason why the colored races oling to the religion of Mohammed. It is a religion in which there is no color line. The brotherhood of man is not a mere figure of speech as it is in Christianity, but a living reality. The orientals are too shrewd to be caught in any large numbers by a jimcrow religion, for that is what it means when Caucasian Christianity gets them into its clutches. The conquest of Colored America for Mohmedanism has not yet begun, but it is coming some day, THE AP-PEAL believes and predicts and the brotherhood religion will spread like wildfire. Afro-Americans all over the country ought to continue to protest to President Wilson against the infamous segregation of Afro-Americans in the public service. THE APPEAL suggests that Editor Trotter of the Boston Guardian get up another protest against segregation on the civil service. We are willing to make a small contribution to aid in the matter. "Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow." A wise man knows all he tells, but he never tells all he knows. What Segregation Means Rev. Quincy Ewing, a Southern Caucasian, Born and Reared in Mississippi, Shows the Policy of the South is to Keep the Afro-American in Inferior Status. IN THE "BREAD AND BUTTER STATE." Nearly thirty years have passed since the editor of THE APPEAL left his native state, Kentucky, and came to Minnesota. Some years prior to that he saw the changing conditions and became convinced that there was no chance for Afro-American in the South—that is to be more than a halfman. He felt that there were many things more precious than gold. He intended to marry and rear a family and he did not care to subject his children, if any came, to the helish conditions which were general in that section. He felt that they had a right to be born in a state where there was no law to degrade them—where they would have a fair field and then if they failed it would be their own fault. In 1885 he packed up his belongings and came to the great state of Minnesota and he has never neglected the step. His way has not been easy, but he has reared a family, giving his children every advantage he could afford to give them and if they do not make good he can not be held responsible. It has been a great benefit to reside in a state which does not generally discriminate between its citizens. It is room in the great state of Minnesota for others who wish to escape the degradation of the South. Well intentioned, intelligent, clean, respectable Afro-Americans will be welcomed here and those who have a little capital have a good chance to succeed. Southern Afro-Americans who are thinking of coming this way should divest themselves of all jim Crow ideas before starting. Those who come as men and demand respect as men will be treated as men. GEORGIA'S LATEST The more or less great commonwealth of Georgia, land of the cracker and the watermelon, in whose capital the most infamous and uncalled for massacre of dark-hued Americans occurred, has again distinguished itself by picking Tom Hardwick, now unlawfully occupying a seat in the House of Representatives, as its candidate for United States Senator and he will duly be sent to Washington to be the colleague of Hoax Smith, whose newspaper was the principal inciter of the Atlanta riot, and introduce some more jimcrow bills. The associated press dispatch, announcing the selection of Hardwick, naively added, "a nomination is equivalent to an election." Of course, it is. Half the population of Georgia consists of Afro-Americans and they are disfranchised by the state's infamous laws. During his six terms in Congress Hardwick has done very little. Practically his whole time has been spent in introducing jincrow legislation, his most notable achievements in this line being two joint resolutions, one, H. J. Res. 60, 62d Congress, proposing an amendment to repeal the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and one, H. J. Res. 61, 62d Congress, proposing the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Hardwick is a great "introducer" and when he reaches Washington he may make a hit with his cracker constituents in "Jawjaw" by introducing a Bill to compel all colored residents BY REV. QUINCY EWING. But we are very far from needing to rely upon any general consideration of the evidence above. It is supported by evidences on every hand, waiting only the eye of recognition. Scarcely a day passes but something is said or done with this end in view, to emphasize, lest they forget, the conviction for both white man and Negro the latter is and am the inferior, for me instance a few such evidences. Consider, first, the "Jim Crow" legislation in the manner of its enforcement. Such legislation is supposed to have for its object the separation of the races in trains, street cars, etc., to save the white people in the city, to allow blacks, illumining Negroes, and to prevent personal encounters between the whites and blacks. Members of the different races occupy the same cars, separated only by absurdly inadequate little open-mesh wires screens, so tiny and light that a conductor can move them with little strength of his little finger. Needless to add, these screens would serve to obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell of drunken rowdies who sat behind them! In summer cars, black and white passengers may be separated from each other, they are simply required, respectively, to occupy certain seats in the front or the back end of the cars. In Birmingham, Alabama, the front seats are assigned to Negroes in all closed cars, and the back seats in all open ones. Why the front seats in the one case, and the back seats in the other, it is not easy to understand in the latter, and altogether spirit of the Jim Crow law! The underlying 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 space; for public sentiment would be attacked if white and black passengers ride in public conveyances on equal terms; therefore the Negro who rides in a public conveyance must do so, not as of undoubted right, but as with the white men's regulations in the place, where that other people must not, because I am I and you are you, lest to you or to me it should be obscured that I am I and you are you." Such is the real spirit of the Jim Crow laws. of the District of Columbia to use the middle of the streets, reserving the sidewalks for Jawjawians and other superior people. :"MADE IN U. S. A." Senator Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the senate committee on commerce, favorably reported the following resolution, which had been submitted by Senator Weeks of Massachusetts: "The secretary of commerce is hereby directed to cause to be prepared in detail an estimate of the probable cost of sending at least six vessels, now in the military or naval service of the United States, or otherwise, to the principal port of South America, such vessels to carry suitable samples of the manufacturers and products of this country, together with a reasonable number of representatives of business 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 Mexico, Central and South America are 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. The 19,000,000 colored people out of the 20,000,000 inhabitants of Brazil would no doubt be greatly interested in the U. S. Treasury-brand of water closets "For Negroes only" put on the market by that distinguished inventor, John Skelton Williams of Virginia. It is said that President Wilson wishes to show the Afro-Americans that he is not inimical to them. He can do it easily and without fear from the opposition of Vardaman. Mr. President, just pass the word down the line that there is to be no more segregation in the service of the United States government; revoke the separate toilet order and declare that Afro-Americans are to be treated just the same as other classes of Americans. "What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." One of the strongest arguments used in favor of female suffrage is: "Women should have the ballot for their own protection." Granted. But how about the black men in the Southern states who are deprived of the ballot by the "grandfather clause," or some other equally outrageous and unAmerican subterfuge? Do they not need protection? Silence Is Infamous Possibly the worst thing permitted to go on and work injury to Negroes, has been the silence of Negro speakers in the face of the infamous lies Ben. Tillman, Vardaman, Blease and others have been telling the North and West about Negroes raping white women. By all means they should have been rebuked and their statements proven lies, but as it is, both sections believe it. Shame on the intelligent men and women of our race who allow these base calumniators to slander us—Pioneer Press, Martinsburg. W. Va. Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness a dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a first-class seat? In every large city, there are hundreds of Negroes who would gladly pay for first-class seats at the theatre and the baseball game, were they permitted to. It can hardly be that permission is given to Negroes in baseball games are so well attended by half the population that first-class seats could not be furnished for the other half. As a matter of fact, theact-auditoriums and baseball grandstands are seldom crowded; the ruleis, not all first-class seats occupied, but many vacant Surely as simple as the first-class seats occupied, the screen in a street-car, would it be to set apart a certain number of seats in the dress-circle of every theatre, and in the grandstand of every baseball park, for Negro patrons. The reason why this is not done, is perfectly obvious; it would be intolerable to the theatre to sit through the hours of a theatrical performance or a baseball game on terms of equal accommodation with Negroes, even with a screen between. Negroes would look out of place, out of status, in the dress circle or the theater, signifying their status, is the peanut-gallery, or the bleachers. --- Consider further that, while no Negro, no matter what his occupation, or personal refinement, or intellectual culture, or moral character, is allowed to trave in a pullman car between state lines, or to enter as a guest a hotel patronized by Negro nurses and valets by Negro nurses and valets are given food and shelter in all first-class hotels, and occasion neither disgust nor surprise in the Pullman cars. Here again the heart of the race problem is laid bare. The black nurse with a white baby in her arms, the black nurse with a white baby in her arms, the black white invalid, have the label of their inferiority conspicuously upon them; they understand themselves, and everybody understand them, to be servants, enjoying certain privileges for the sake of the person served. Almost anything the Negro may do in the South, and anywhere else, is the same doing his going is that of an inferior. Such is the premium put upon his inferiority; such his inducement to maintain it.

Berlin—One of the most revolting crimes in the dark history of Russia was reported here in a special dispatch from St. Petersburg, telling of three youths having outraged and then crucified the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the Volga. After outraging the young girl, the dispatch, declares, the three youths dragged her to a cemetery, where they nailed her to a cross above one of the graves. Nails were driven through her hands and feet and even through her head, but they were arrested, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON (Loyola News) The Louisville-Courier Journal quotes Dr. Washington as saying in a recent speech that "the Negro should stop fighting segregation and lend his forces toward beautifying the neighborhoods in which he lives." If Dr. Washoe discourages it, it is inconceivable that one who occupies so prominent a position in the Afro-American world should so far forget his position and his dignity as to urge his race to cease protesting against the most cowardly and humiliating legislation in the land. It is safe to say that segregation has been unexpected quarter; a recognized leader, a captor, tells us to forget our manhood; to forget the sacred and inable rights of political and personal liberty and to passively submit to the humiliation of being pushed aside as though being in the face of lepers, because we would seek to reach their neighborhood in which we live. To submit to a degradation without serious objection is worse than cowardly; it is unmanly and ignoble and any race that would do so without exhausting every means of moral and legal unworthy of the name of civilized. So much is wrong in principle and fact; and, if Dr. Washington believes it is wrong, as we think he does, it is to be deeply regretted that he lacks the moral stamina to ask it. It is obvious even to the friends and supporters of Dr. Washington, that if he is quoted accurately, he can not in the future be regarded as being in sympathy with the Afro-American who places his self-respect and manhood above everything else, and who is not willing to sacrifice either for the sake of living or congenial terms with his white brother. Dr. Washington's statement is as puzzling to the News as it is painful, because even if he believes that we should not oppose segregation it seems worse than a blunder for him to open so vulnerable a spot to the many opponents of his policies by saying so. However, the advice of the sage of Tuskegee is not going to have any effect on our local fight one way or the other, but the news expressed on all sides by those who read his quotation and the News is forced to confess to the drawing of some very painful conclusions, none of which too complimentary to Dr. Washington. (Martinsburg Pioneer Press.) Editor Dabney, like Hon. H. C. Smith of the old reliable Gazette of Cleveland, has been in his city.

In addition to providing a county option law, I believe in further reducing the power of the brewery in politics and curbing the shiister influence of the liquor trade. In doing so, I am preserving ownership of saloons or buildings by saloons, by enforcement of laws prohibiting the sale of beer or liquor to any but legally licensed retailers, thus doing away with blind pigs and other illicit places whose existence deprives the public from sale of liquor, and by such other legal acts as may be necessary to destroy the power of the liquor traffic." GROWTH OF DRUG HABBIT Prohibitionists Pay Little Attention to Country's Springs, Menace. Duluth, Minn., Aug.—Commenting on the accumulation of evidence that the drug habit is growing at an appalling rate in this country, the Duluth Herald of August 12th says editorially: "We have determined that this country uses more opioids than China, and that we become the chief market of the world for this deadly drug. "Drugs kill more people than whiskey, and kill them in a more dreadful way than China, and that they kill the body. They kill the science and turn human beings into friends. They corrode moral faculties, and kill lingering, terribly. "Half the enthusiasm and zeal put into the prohibition movement would shatter the drug habit. "Yet there is more enthusiasm and zeal for the prohibition movement and very little interest in the drug menace." CAPITOL STEAM LAUNDRY. "The House of Quality and Service."

What a terrible thing, for a peaceful laboring and country-loving people, whose patriotism has been to this nation gloriously tested in every war, to be denied a man's rights. In some foreigners, who know nothing of our language, they speak not a word of our language, ride on first-class trains and boats, stop at hotels; in short do what any white man can. It is quite time that decent and refined cooed people, every one of more or less mixed blood, should be accorded the same right. Shame on America. If true, and God will forgive you, you shall they also reap; what a heart-rendering harvest is ripening to be cut. The Reason Why One of the reasons why the South is in its present backward condition is because the white people of the South pay more attention to trying to keep the Afro-American in "his place," whatever that may be, instead of trying to make progress and have the freedom to do so. We are creditably informed that Wilmington, N. C., has been falling back in the race ever since that riot took place which drove from it a large element of its very best and most progressive colored people. It has lost its standing as the first city of the Tampa Bay area and pelled to take second or even third place. Sample Southern Justice. (St. Luke's Herald.)

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.
