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 Finns and relief from segregation and political disabilities for the Jews, induced by the needs of warring nations, remember that 12- 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. Signers of the address to the country: Byron Gunner, N. Y.; J. L. Johnson, Ohio; C. L. Miller, R. I.; R. C. Ransom, N. Y.; M. W. Thornton, Thomas Walker, Washington, D. C.; J. A. Hagen, Conn., A.

"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 (through this has been the belief, and the doom, of every aristocracy from the beginning of time). The great task of the every advanced race or nation is to bring more advanced love—more tight—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 fertility, 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 the religion of resignation; yes, give them shoes and coats; 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. 40. Thou knowest, good God! 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 seizure 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, disfranchisement, lynching and segregation, especially under the Federal government at the Federal capital, now, rather than await some awful war here. Southern disfranchisement encourages 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.

Richmond, Norfolk, Alexandria and Williamsburg returned majorities for local option. It is estimated that the state will lose an annual revenue of $600,000 as a result of the election, and state officials are now trying to work out a plan to raise that amount from other sources, though just how an additional tax can be levied and on what, is causing some worry, according to statements made regarding the matter. --- Richmond, Va.

Atlanta, in the Day of Death, 1906. THE LYNCH An Appeal Editorial Suggesting to the Europe the Formation of an Army Their Most Inhuman Genera War devastates Europe. The "Christian" emperors have ordered the fool poor people to go out and kill one another 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 monarch 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 knows more about the Bible than any other Senator. Senator Vardaman, that great "Christian" who has devoted his life to the undoing of colored brethren; Senator Williams also of Mississippi, whose recent arrest in the Capitol has angered than his colleague's against one half of the residents of his one, 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 car bill; Martin Dies of Texas, noted segregationist; are all "Christians," 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 commissioned or 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 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 subtilie attacks on the rights of Americans of darker hue, should be named as chapel-in-chief.

Lord! soft to the sobbing of women Lord! right. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS. HERS CORPS to the Murder Mad Monarchs of Army Corps Which Would Make generals Look Like Pikers. 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 church, could be utilized as assistant chancellor. The Winston clergymen, 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 reserves corps of Bible buncolists. 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. All of the contemptible cowardly curs of the colored race, those who believed they are inferior to other races, those who favor segregation because it pays financially or because Southern Caucasians think on their backs and call them "good 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."

A'S' Those who are disposed to deny the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and help along race prejudice, by advocating the establishment of separate Young Men's Christian Associations, should read and ponder over the following letter from a white minister to Editor Harry S. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, and published in his paper, the Cleveland Gazette: Madison, N. J. Sept. 24, 1914. Editor Gazette. Dear Sir:—You voice the sentiments of my soul and spirit—why should Christian America deify the "color-line" and rank it higher than the fundamentals of orthodox religion? The common fatherhood of God (acknowledged by "The Church in America") implies, to all believers, the common brotherhood of "all men" (acknowledged by Cor. 5:7, Col. 3:11, Bib. 2:10-19). I have fought in Virginia (Norfolk) Maryland (Baltimore), and New Jersey the pernicious practice of the Young Men's Christian Association in "drawing the color-line" and using it to stand for the Christian stander Mr. Julius Rosenwald's motive in donating $25,000 to encourage the building of Colored Y. M. C. A.'s in America—do you? Every one buill (and successfully maintained) only accentuate and makes more bitter the color prejudice in the room, mouthed, evils-milling whisky-drinking Negro combo-loafer or bar-broom bummer they hate and deprecate so much as the honest, intelligent, self-respecting and capable Afro-American whose domination and social equality preclude him from being active equal in embryo, but actually a moral superior on mentality!!! Why should the National Y. M. C. A. recognize, legalize and perpetuate the "color-line"? There is none in such there is none in sickness nor poverty nor poverty in hell nor heaven! but so doing, they cater to popular prejudice, they dishonor Christ (see Matt. 23:1:4, 8-11), they degrade religion and condemn their own National organization as a huge hypocritical conspiracy for to bolster up an inhuman He—the sublime equality all men. I wish you every blessing with success. Fraternally yours, (Rev.) Geo. Wilson Brent. "THE POWER OF AGITATION." THE APPEAL is always pleased to 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. read in the columns of its Southern Afro-American contemporaries editorials which may serve to inspire the race to always protest against wrong. In the article which follows, Mrs. Maggie Walker, the banker editor of St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Virginia, truly says, "When the spirit and power of agitation die among a people, they are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption." THE POWER OF AGITATION THE POWER OF AGITATION. The greatest power on earth for the righting of wrongs, is the power of agitation. The spirit and power of agitation die when we are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption. So important is the power, that it is guaranteed to the people through the mandates of the United States. The colored man is not a moran has he ever been. It has dinned into his ears until it has reached his very soul, that all he has to do toward righting his wrongs, is to wait until he sees it come down and right them. He peaceably assembling and making intelligent and persistent protest against outrage and wrong seems foreign to him. Or, should he start an agitation against him, he loses heart, abandons the effort and gives up like a disappointed child. It is the agitation of the waters of the sea, which prevents stagnation and death. It is the agitation of the air which gives pure air to breathe. It is the air which gives us the power of motion and life, and it is the agitation of thoughts and ideas which prevents brain stagnation and mental death. When a people lose that interest in themselves, to that extent, they are quietly submitting to wrong, without protest, they have reached the danger point in race progress development. 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 obsolete 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 unbeatable, 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 the opportunity to put an end to an unjust and humiliating conditions and "put one over" on the Christians. 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. RACE PREJUDICE I am convinced myself evil thing in this present justice; none at all. I w the worst single thing it and holds together more abomination than any other world. Through its body of coarse lust, suspicion, tion 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. 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 Nazarez. 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 Mohammedan and the proportion is not at a standstill; it is increasing yearly. In Asia and Africa more natives are becoming Mohammedans 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 cling 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 Mohammedanism has not yet begun, but it is coming some day, THE AP-PEAL believes and predicts and the brotherhood religion will spread like wildfire. 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." BAPTISTS PROTEST SEGREGATION Afo-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. "We should be free, themselves must strike the blow." 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 helilish 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 regretted 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. There 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 jimcrow 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 paper was the principal inciter of the Atlanta riot, and introduce some more jimcrow bills. The associated press dispatch, an nouncing 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 jimcrow 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 in support of the proposition advanced on the evidence of recognition on every hand, waiting only the eye of recognition. Scarcely a day pass but something is said or done with this end in view, to emphasize, lest they forget, the conviction for both white and black men, and must remain an inferior. Let 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 from contempt, to illuminate 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 wire screens, so tiny and light that a conductor can move them without a barrier. The 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 not even by a make-believe screen; they are simply required, respectively, to sit in the front or the back end of a car. 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 light of the letter and alleged derying 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 the indiscretion 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 man's regulation. "This place you may occupy, the place you are in, the place 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 Jawjawlans 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 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 attend? Negroes withheld because the剧院 and 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, the tre-auditoriums and baseball grand stands are seldom crowded; the rule is, not all first-class seats occupied but many acant Surely as simple as a seat in 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 rea-obvious; it would be intolerable to the average Southern man or woman 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. The rea-obvious; it would be intolerable of status, in the dress circle or the grandstand; their place, 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 white people, the blackest of Negro nurses and valets is stifler, and sheltered and neitherigust 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 valet looking after the comfort of a white invalid, have the labs on them; they understand themselves, and everybody understand them, to be servants, enjoy certain privileges for the sake of the person served. Almost anything the Negro may do in the South, and anywhere he may go, provides is that of an inferior. Such is the premium put upon his inferiority; such his inducement to maintain it. Evidences of Christianity HOWARD UNIVERSITY IN HOLY RUSSIA. Jewish Girl Outraged and Crucified By Russians. Berlin—One of the most revolting crimes in the dark history of Russia was reported here in the town from St. Petersburg, telling of three Russian youths having outraged and then crucified the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the After outraging the young girl, the dispatch declares, the three youth dragged her to a cemetery, where the nailed her to a cross above one of the graves. Nails were driven through her hands and feet and even through her eyes. The three murders were buried, but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON (Louisville 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 neighborhood in which he lives." If Dr. Washington discouraging 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. He has many champions even among our race, but almost without exception they are to be found among the element where there is the least intelligence and where there is an inherent fear of opposing anything the white slaves do to do. But here we are smitten to be protected quarter; a recognized leader of his community, tells us to forget our manhood; to forget the sacred and inalienable rights of political and personal liberty and to passively submit to the humiliation of being pushed aside as though he were a race of lepers, because we would see him as a neighbor neighborhoods in which to 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 best is unworthy of the name of elvishness 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 say so. So 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 life or more 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 up 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 what happens to the other. Surprise and disgust are 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 compellant to Dr. Washington. Surrendered Rights Never Regained. (Martinsburg Pioneer Press). Editor Dabney, of the Cincinnati, Ohio Union, like Hon. H. C. Smith of the old reliable Gazette of Cleveland, he was one of the sprouting casts in his city. Right now he surrendered are seldom regained. Your contention that a few teachers salaries amount to nothing compared to the cowardlessness of the men and schools gives us is true. Our early life schools of Chicago, never sitting by the side of children of darker color. Leaving that city and going south to teach about ten years later we returned to Chicago, the Appellate Court, found our class, the Frank Lane, head clerk over more than a hundred clerks. We embraced each other and before all of the clerks he wopt with joy and said to his firs' teacher, "You are going to paint the old town red today." He got his buggy and took us over all of our prank ground, and O! what a time we had that day. One of the old teachers threw her arms around us, and many of the then students were authority, wept, and greeted us as all greeted us, and Mrs. Curtin, one of the noblest and sweetest women Chicago ever owned, and for whom the whole city mourned the authority, wept, and greeted us as all greeted us, and long gone and returned son. Mix the schools, for there is no color in heaven. ATTITUDE Of William E. Use on the Liquor Store (From Owatonna Speech.) "I believe in county option and that the people of any governmental unfit should be removed from the vided for the expression of the will! IN CHRISTIAN U. 8. Afro-American Woman Lynched by Americans. Muskogee, Okla.-Lemuel Peace, a Caucasian, went into the colored section of the city Sunday night and mistreated Marie Scott, an Afro-American woman. To defend herself, she killed him. She was arrested and put into the Wagner county jail for safe keeping. Tuesday she was taken out of the jail by a masked mob and hanged to a telephone pole. The mob got into the jail by strategy. The mob put the screening screen on her cell and a rope about her neck and dragged her some distance through the streets before reaching the telephone pole. upon the liquor question. In addition to providing a county option law, I believe in further reducing the power of the brewery in politics and curbing the influence of the liquor traffic by allowing the owner to ship of saloons or buildings occupy, 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 them of legal sale of liquor, and by such other regulation as may be necessary to destroy the power of the liquor traffic." WOMAN OF BROAD CULTURE Influence of Mrs. V. C. Haley Felt In Many Good Movements St. Louis—Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley of this city, royal grand matron, Order Eastern Star of Missouri jurisdiction and the leading spirit among the colored women of the state in the suffrage movement, is a member of the National Negro Press association. Mrs. Haley made a strong plea at the recent session of the association held at Muskegan for co-operative and courageous efforts on the part of the leaders of the race, especially in the fraternal organizations and the ministry, to mold sentiment in favor of the many needed reforms which so vitally affect our well being as a race. Mrs. Haley, who before her marriage was a teacher in the St. Louis public schools, is an active leader in educational and social matters. She is the second recording secretary of the National Association of Colored Women's Association, Mrs. T. Wingington is president, and capitulated the灌ion in Wilberforce and in a splendid introductory symposium address on equal suffrage at the biennial meeting of the clubs held recently at Wilberforce university. She is a native of Mississippi, but was reared and educated in Missouri, where she plays a very important part in the affairs for human uplift. She is a recognized leader and is always found in the front ranks in every movement for race betterment. Her activities and pronounced ability have won for her many honorable positions. Besides having served as president of many local clubs, she is president of the St. Louis Federation of Colored Women, as well as a member of the State federation. Mrs. Haley has the distinction of being a member of the commission appointed by former Governor Hadley for the proposed Industrial Home For Incorrigible Colored Girls, the site for which was purchased by this commission at Tipton, Mo. The building at Tipton will be completed within a few months. With her many responsibilities Mrs. Haley finds time for diligence, being the superintendent of a live and modern Sunday school in the historic St Paul A. M. E. church in this city. She is district superintendent of the Sunday schools in the St. Louis district and state superintendent of the Allen Christian Endeavor league of the state. Being of a magnetic perceptive figure, accomplished, earnest, versatile, and eloquent speaker, an elocutional mean ability, Mrs. Haley comes as a valuable asset to the National Negro Press association. FIGHTING FOR THE BALLOT The Congressional Union, the white women's national suffrage organization, is on the war on the sex trade, and every democratic congressman in the nine states in the West in which women vote.

There was a goodly sized audience, but not as large as it should have oeen. Mme. Brown is one of the finest vocalists in this country and she very delightfully sustained the reputation that had preceded her. Her selections were: "Villanelle," "Dost Thou Know that.

"Coming Through the Rye," and "Last Rose of Summer," all of which were most delightfully rendered. Mme.

Comparing reports from other cities with conditions in St. Paul the financial situation in this city probably is better than anywhere else in the world, and at least the best in the United States. During the past week, St. Paul banks lent to Minnesota grain firms more than $5,000,000. Deposits are increasing rapidly and the banks are lending to customers to the last dollar allowed by law. The statement credited to Secretary of the Treasury, McAdoo, that banks are hoarding cash and not lending to their full power, does not apply to this city. Evidence to this is found in the fact that although the rules of safeguarding cash and otherwise preventing unduly alarmed persons from causing trouble are still in force, St. Paul banks are not adhering to this rule. ```markdown ``` TEL. 6234 8904 HOUSES: 2 TO 15 A.
