President Wilson addressed the delegates to the convention of the National Chamber of Commerce at Washington, Wednesday and handed them some choice morsels of bunk. "If the government ever falls into the hands of men from a single section, or with single interests, it must go to seed and die." "I would prefer that you receive me as if for the time being I were one of your own number," the president said, "because the longer I occupy the office that I now occupy the more I regret any lines of separation; the more I deplore any feeling that one set of men has one set of interests, and another set of men has another set of interests; the more I reveal the solidarity of the nation, the impossibility of separating one interest from another without misconceiving it; the necessity that we should all understand one another in order that we may understand ourselves. "What has got to pervade us like a great motive power is that we cannot and must not separate our interests from one another, but must pool our interests. A man who is trying to fight for his single hand is fighting against the community and not fighting with it." Mr. Wilson is famous for getting on highsounding phrases and beautiful words, but when it comes to the test he is found wanting. He argues against the danger of separation and says that if the government ever falls into the hands of a single section it will go to seed and die. Yet that is just what he has been trying to accomplish. Recently when representatives of a group of 10,000,000 American citizens called on him to protest against un-American treatment, he endeavored to justify the actions of his subordinates and became indignant because the spokesman of the delegation earnestly presented his case. The President should square his talk with his actions. THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test. Had no voice be injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide o The few who dare speak again to right many.—Ella Wheeler To sin by 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 least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "WHY JESUS WAS A MAN AND NOT A WOMAN." This book, which is just from the press is the third book by M. Tapp, in which he interprets the SexLaw of the Bible. His first book on the subject, "The Truth About The Bible" came from the press about two years ago. About a year after that, his second book, "Sexology Of The Bible" followed. In these books, Mr. Tapp contends that all sin of the Flesh is in the SexSenses and that is the reason that Jesus did not have a natural father. He is a lawyer and has done a great work for the inspiration of the Bible and the Divinity of the Christ. He has answered all the school of the Ingersoll's, etc. He shows that the fall of man was a matter of the Flesh and the Sex and that the Christ had to be conceived without a natural father in order to be a perfect man and Redeemer of the world. His idea is, The Law of Sex is the Key of the Bible. The idea is arresting the attention of the great thinkers of the world. The books may be secured by addressing Sidney C. Tapp, Kansas City, Mo. They should be in every home and every library of the world. INFAMOUS LEGISLATION. The Democratic House of Representatives has passed an infamous act, prohibiting the intermarriage of white and colored persons in the District of Columbia. The vote was about four to one but the fact that sixty members voted against the infamous measure shows that the idea of justice is not yet dead. The bill is an insult to one-tenth of the population of the United States. It strikes at the very foundation of Christianity for among Christians of every creed, marriage is regarded as a divine institution. There is no reason for such legislation. Caucasians usually marry Caucasians and Afro-Americans usually marry Afro-Americans. The number who marry interracially is wholly negligible. The real purpose of the Bill is to place a stigma upon the Afro-American people. The Clark Bill is really an open invitation to immorality and leaves the Afro-American woman without protection and an easy prey to vicious men of the white race. If there is to be any mixing of the races it ought to be done legitimately in Christian marriage and not in an immoral manner. It is not the proper function of the Government to draw lines of invidious distinction between its various classes of citizens and place on the statute books a law which in effect brands one group of citizens as unfit, closing it with imbeciles, idolts, defectives, degenerates and criminals. And then there is another point of view. The mixing which has already taken place has not resulted in degenerate specimens of manhood. The first blood spilled in the Revolutionary War was that of a mixed-blood — Crispus Attucks. Frederick Douglass, one of America's greatest orators, a patriot and a statesman was of mixed-blood. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the great literate and sociologist, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the great industrial educator, is a mixed-blood. H. Y. Tanner, the great writer, the people have been purchased by the French and now hang in the Louvre, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, one of the world's greatest surgeons and who was the first man surgeon in all the world to operate successfully on a human body is a mixed-blood. THE APPEAL could name the bounds of other mixed-bloods of whom America may well be proud. Every colored person ought to get busy at once and write to the Senators THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma scientious dischar to stand alone; th ant, intolerant ju demn, the counter may be averted, friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w anges of relati I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. who represent his state and ask them to vote against the bill when it reaches the Senate.

A recent issue of the Atlanta Independent had a full page of redot editorial matter lambastig the cowardly curs who call themselves "leaders." If our esteemed contemporary will keep up this kind of work for a while, perhaps our Georgia brethren may be aroused from their lethargy and as the editor suggests, and these are his words: "Kick out of pulpits and platforms every Negro leader who does not protest against the indignities thrust upon us." Under the caption "Cowardice on the Platform," the editor says: "No race or people in the history of civilization ever endured a leadership of more consummate cowards. The average Negro is a coward in his own esteem. Void of respect, appreciation or manly resentment, he submits to every indignity, with apology, the white man inflicts upon him. When we speak of cowards, we do not mean physical cowards, but moral and intellectual cowards. The coward who hasn't the moral courage to resent a wrong. The coward who submits to every indignity imposed upon him by cowardly newspapers; the coward who accepts every jimcrow accommodation offered. The Jews will not read a paper that is hostile to the Jews. The Irishman resents with all his hot blood insults heaped upon his race by newspapers and other nationalities. The Japanese resents with all his manliness, with all his soul, with all his might, every wrong done him because of his race, his color or his condition. There is nobody a coward but the Negro; there is nobody that kisses the hand that smits him but the Negro; there is no race so divided against itself and is such a consummate band of bootlickers, cowards and sycophants as black educated leaders. What we need is a manly leadership—one full of moral courage and intellectual bravery. Men who will tell the race of indignities that they ought not to endure, and how they may rid themselves of the agencies that seek to crush and undo it. Let us have a manly race; and we can only have a manly race by many leadership." A novel explanation of the Russian dislike for the Jew has been given by Count Alexander Scherbatskoy, councilor of the Russian embassy in Washington. The count said that Russians objected to Jews because they were more capable than the Russians and not because they were of a different race and faith. “There is not much difference between the Jewish question in Russia and the Japanese question in California,” he declared. “The Californians know the Japs are more clever than they are. The Russians know that they can not compete with the Jews. Their fear of the Jews is based on economic considerations.” The Philadelphia Ledger is credited with the following, published as a good joke: "There was absolutely no evidence against the man you lynched." The police report back at the ace of spades. "Well, the no joke about that, it's a plain uninvaded fact that when an alleged criminal is black, that is the strongest evidence to put him out." The prime cause for nine out of ten murders is the fact that the victims are black. man who in the con- grence of his duty dares the world, with ignor- dgment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- PUPILS WORK SCHOOL FARMS. Get Pay For Toll and Michigan Cities Buy the Produce. Ishpeming. Mich.-The cities of upper Michigan have devised a new way for school children to earn money in the summer vacation months by establishing school farms which pay pupil workers for their time and sell the produce to people of the cities interested practically at cost. Ishpeming began the experiment. It was so successful that the idea is spreading over the upper peninsula. The Michigan State Agricultural college this year will have experts to serve the work. Farms have been conducted under the management of the Ishpeming board of education for three years, and this year they will be operating a larger scale than heretofore. M. A. Russell, from the Michigan Agricultural college, has been placed in charge. The board of education owns eighteen acres of tillable land in three tracts, and most of this will be cultivated. Students do the work. One hundred and twenty-five boys have agreed to perform the necessary labor. Their pay is 10 cents an hour. The school board markets the produce and retains the proceeds. The chief crops this year will be potatoes, cabbages and cauliflower. One acre will be devoted to strawberries. BABY CUT OFF 200 PHONES Papa the Real Silencer, However, With Aid of a Shotgun. Atlantic City, N. J.—The birth of a baby in the home of Matteo Gionetti of Merlonville cut off all telephone service in that section for the greater part of a day, to the rage of 200 subscribers. The boy arrived at the Gionetti home shortly and there was nobody around to help Matteo celebrate, so he grabbed his shotgun and proceeded to blow holes in the atmosphere. The phone company's wire chief, clown, displayed the lines useless when he came to work next morning. At Gionetti's place he found the broken wire hanging loose from the pole, with about a pound of shot in the cross arm. Gionetti told all about it. Newton started to sweat, changed his mind, grinned, said, "Hope the kid's all right," and started repairs. UNCLE SAM KEEPING GIRLS ON THE FARM Tomato Clubs Bring Good Incomes to the Members. Washington.-Guided by a southern school teacher, Uncle Sam is turning his attention to keeping some of his country nieces happy on the farm instead of letting them join the workers in the cities. In five southern states, he teaches the department of agriculture, schoolgirls are how to turn tomatoes and snap beans into money. Miss Mary Cromer of Alken, S. C. began the girls' canning clubs with forty-six of her own pupils. She had heard of the boys' corn clubs and saw no reason why the girls should not work with them. So one spring she encouraged forty-six girls to plant little tomato patches. All summer she worked with them, showing them how to hoe and cultivate. Along toward harvest time the neighboring station of the farm demonstration service heard about what she was doing and sent a canning expert to Alken to show the girls what to do with their product. One girl got 152 cans from her patch, which gave her a profit at the rate of $400 an acre. Even the oysters, the boy who won the corn prize, had cleared only $140 an acre. Miss Cromer was given a place in the department of agriculture and has organized tomato clubs in five states. The clubs are formed very early in the spring before planting time, and the demonstrator who travels about tells the girls how to have their land prepared. The farms are only one tenth of an acre now, that being supposed to be all that one girl can well take care of. Usually the fathers do the plowing, but they are paid for their work. The girls are an outsider would be. For the cultivating the girls allow themselves 10 cents an hour. They learn to enjoy the work. The girls are taught to put up wild and garden berries in glass. In the fall, when the harvest is all in tin or glass, the demonstrator visits each home, weighs each can and marks its weight upon the outside. The little gardener adds her name and address, and the can is sent straight to somebody to weigh it. The gardener weighs of vegetables and 12 for jar of preserves. If the purchaser is dissatisfied she notifies the department, and the girl is directed to send another can. If there are continued complaints of her products it is assumed that she is not following directions, and she is dropped from the clubs. Teacups of Salt For Wages. London.—Major Hans Schomburgk the explorer, who has just returned from West Central Africa with films of native life, states that the "super" hard were paid two cupulets of salt a week, and that he was taught with which even wives were bought. THE PRESIDENT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN. (From the Chicago Tribune). We are not ready to concede that any one will stand under the law than any other. If the south wishes to make any such issue as this it will find that the north, where there is prejudice, is nevertheless restless when as a part of the nation it is asked to declare that the nation is a piece of hypocrisy and does not apply where it is inconvenient. No wonder American girls are so sweet, according to statistics they spend $144,000,000 for candy. Defective Page EDISON BANS CIGARETTES. Workers Can't Use Them, Though He Smokes Cigars and Chaves West Orange, N. J. - When the 6,700 employees of the Edison plants here entered the shop, the old meringue they were confronted with printed signs bearing this warning: "Cigarettes Not Tolerated. They Dull the Brain." As a result of correspondence with Henry Ford, the Detroit automobile manufacturer, Thomas A. Edison decided to be a crusader against the cigarette. At the request of Mr. Ford Mr. Edison made analyses of at least twenty brands of cigarettes. While he found the tobacco contained in them was of all qualities, he found poisonous matter in all the papers in which they were rolled. Said Mr. Edison: That poison attacks the brain and works havoc with man's mental activity. His mind becomes clouded. Evaristo Madalena brother of the late president of Mexico, died days ago that men, women and children are inveterate smokers of cigarettes in the southern republic. That is why Mexicans as a race are not clear headed." Mr. Edison has always aborbed cigar cigarettes, and he likes to chew tobacco. WALKS 190 MILES TO ENLIST. Boy Disappointed When Told War Had Not Been Declared. Jackson, Miss.—Coming afoot all the way from Tate county, 100 miles, George Starks, a young farmer, went to the office of the adjutant general of the state and astonished everybody there by saying that he wanted to enlist as a private for the war in Mexico. The attaches of the office looked at the man in wonder. This certainly was unusual. Everybody else that had said anything about enlisting in the state meant to be a captain, a colonel or a naval officer. The simon pure patriot was told to keep up with the daily newspapers and return to the adjutant general's office when war should be declared and Mississippi would be called on for militia. Starks was disappointed. He wanted to get into the fight at once. He wanted no stripes, no honors—simply the privilege of being a private in the ranks to fight for the honor of the flag. M'ADOOS WILL LIVE IN A LITTLE "COTTAGE" Future Home Situated In Fashionable Washington Suburb. Washington.—Now that the Wilson McAdoos wedding is over, one great postnuptial fact stands out prominently: The McAdoos are going to live in a cottage! This has come as something of a shock to Washington society, which, when it heard the news, elevated its eyebrows and emitted a little murmur of surprise. But it will be jarring to certain of a sentimental cast of mind to learn that the "cottage" of the McAdoos wedding in name only. It's something of the order of the "cottages down at Newport" that Cohan used to sing about long years ago, and the cottage which the McAdoos are reported to be taking is situated at Chevy Chase, not far from the Chevy Chase club, of which President Wilson is a member. A cottage at Chevy Chase comes very near being the kind of house known in 1880 as a mansion. Chevy Chase is the most exclusive suburb of all the suburbs around the capital, and the city where he finds his deed quite full of clauses, stipulating everything from the price of the house he must build on the lot to the color and nationality of the man to whom he may sell his property if ever he goes broke. Therefore it seems that the mere report that the McAdoo cottage is to be in the city of New York dreams of the sentimental minded, who probably conjured up dreams of a bungalow where the red roses grow.

Monroe Trotter, Troller, Leader, The Guardian, Boston, Mass. You have rendered great service. That interview with the president is a memorable event in the history of the race struggle in America. You have been in New York and Wilson appeared to less advantage. I congratulate you on such a display of moral courage, answering loyalty and genuine Americanism. JOHN E. MILHOLLAND. TROTTER'S SPECIFIC DENIAL OF INSOLENCE TO PRESIDENT. Interview in Boston Globe of Nov. 17, 1914. William Monroe Trotter, whose remarks on segregation in Government departments stirred President Wilson at a hearing in the White House last afternoon, arrived in Boston yesterday anything offensive either in his speech or manner, told of the way in which the report of the hearing was given to the newspapermen. "As we left the President," said Mr. Trotter. "I was very sorry if he still considered the fued. I fended him. The President smiled and said: 'O, we'll call it all right.' 'When we came out our delegation caucused in Sec. Tumulty's room as to what we should say for the news, and I told the men briefly about the conference, merely describing it as a warm affair. "I had gone outside the White House when Mr. Tumulty called me back and said: 'Trotter, you have violated every courtesy of the White House in quoting the President to the press.' "I told Mr. Tumulty that I had done so in ignorance of the rules, and apologized. Then I asked the newspaper not to publish what I told them, and they consented. Mr. Tumulty said he was satisfied and I left." White House Statement Issued. "The report of the conference was then given out from the White House. It seems very peculiar to me, after the President had told me everything about the statement should say that I had offended the President of the United States." Did Not Lose Temper or Catchize. "I want to say," he continued, "that neither in manner, language, tone nor in other way was I discoureteous, imperfect or insolent to President Wilson. "My whole attitude was that of endeavoring, on the spur of the moment, to not let any war disrupt my try and to refute it successfully, feeling a great responsibility to do so, I spoke with positiveness, deliberateness and directness, looking the President till in the eye. "Not to not let any war disrupt my try and to catechize the President, and I did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty did criminated against and segregated in of my race and to say that I should not represent my race and to represent it to my race. "Although it was a trying ordeal to listen to such a statement at length by the Chief Executive of the Nation, I did not temper, much less lost my temper." MR, WILSON AND "SEGREGATION." New York—To the Editor of THE APPEAL SIR: The interview of William Munroe Trotter and the delegation of colored gentlemen with the theological school forward again the burning question of the treatment of colored civil servants in Washington. The whole incident was followed by the colored people of this country feel the injustice which Mr. Wilson's government has inflicted upon them and still inflicts. The Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been fighting segregation in federal departments ever since the first rumor of it was made public. Over a year ago an annual conference and a paper printed. Since that a representative has kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one occasion the president of the civil service committee and helped kill the bill of Edwards of Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana making segregation legal throughout the country and of the segregation has disappeared. When the U street station of the postoffice in Washington was abolished all the colored men employed there were reinstated. An intervention of this association three of them were reinstated. When the bureau of engraving and printing was abolished the original idea to segregate colored and white people throughout the entire building, but through the efforts of the Post Office Department in the lunchrooms or on the roof garden. Segregation, nevertheless, still exists in the Postoffice Department men and the Treasury, and possibly there are in a small degree in other places. It still remains true that for the first time in half century a President of the United States and distinguished members of his Cabinet have deemed it necessary to have all of these United States that clerks in the federal service, having passed the same examinations and receiving the same rate of pay, must be separated for their work if the ancestors of any of the officers themselves have made mistakes in classifying them. In other cases in some cases the "colored" clerks have been so white in appearance that the officials themselves have made tests against the attempted separation. Always the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. E. SPINGARN, (Chairman Board of Director National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS HEAD? (From the Philadelphia Press.) It looks as though the result of the last election has got on the President's nerves and made him unreasonably irate. But anyway can we account for the extreme ruthless and quick resentment which he exhibited while W. M. Trotter, of Boston, as chairman of a delegation of Colored men undertook to show him that Colored employees were unkindly disfriended and not come until the President had been some of the executive departments. There is nothing in Mr. Trotter's remarks as reported which disclose any ground for the President's resentment. Possibly the speaker's manner of speaking and aggressive to suit the President. He turned on him as he once before turned on the woman suffrage delegation whose assertions and arguments were not to his taste and drove the president to a statement that he was not at liberty to approve woman suffrage because it had no place in the National Democratic platform. He told Trottier that he was not willing to the departments to avoid friction. But there was no friction until Mr. McAdco and Mr. Burleson got into the Cabi- net and began to enforce in their departments the principle of the Jim Crow law. immigration practice is wrong in principle because it is disagreeable and unfair to one class of public employees who have a right to be treated by their Government without discrimination. The race elected has a right to be treated by the Government as a proper spirit in going directly to the President with their grievance. We fear that the President has lost his head. He is certainly not so happy in his position. He has been derrified the fritigation that so easily besets him as in his more studied deliverances which compel the admiration even of his political opponents and the fallacies of his reasoning character of the policy he is commending. THE COLOR LINE VEXES THE PRESIDENT. (From New York Evening Mail). It is hard to discover, in the rather fully published reports, any sufficient reason for the efforts of Mr. Trotter to suseh him to abandon the offensive policy of several Cabinet officers in drawing the color line in the Federal departments. The subject under discussion was the customs of fifty years and the spirit of the Constitution in establishing "Jim Crow" government. If the spokesman of the Equal Rights League waxed warm in urging the cause of his race, it is not wondered at. That he overstepped the bounds of propriety is not shown. That the President was vexed is all that appears in the published record. If any adequate reason for his vexation was supplied by Mr. Trotter, it would surely have been disclosed. That there was reason for the President's ill temper is quite true, but it was supplied by the Cabinet members who were responsible for the narrowing of the boundaries of employed employees from white jobholders. The incident recalls the similar vexation shown by the President when he healed a colleague who equit suffrage delegation on June 30 to the ground that he could not "submit the cross-examination." When a man is right, he usually will lie on his back; other side: when he knows he is wrong, he is very likely to fly off the handle. DR. SPINGARN'S SECOND TOUR: Well-Known White Advocate of Justice to Tour Country Again. Dr. J. E. Spingar, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and one of the most consistent white leaders in the country, equal rights for Afro-Americans, is soon to make a second tour of the country in the interests of the cause of our race. It will be remembered that last week, in meetings in troft, Chicago, Quincy, Clifton, Topeka, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Cleveland, attracting very large audiences wherever he went, and nearly everywhere winning wide publicity in the cause for the cause of justice to the Negro. Dr. Springarn will speak at Wilmington, Delaware, on November 22nd, at Howard University, Washington, D.C., and at the University of Pennsylvania, Pa. on November 24th. His main tour, however, will not begin until next January, and he then expect to speak at the University of Pennsylvania, Columbus, Springfield, St. Josez, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, and other cities. He hopes by succeeding tours to cover every state he visits, he will be burning message of freedom to the whole nation. All those who are interested in his coming tour, which like any other tour, can be obtained on entirely at his own expense can obtain further information from Miss May Childs Nerney, secretary of the National Association for the Adolescent Health, People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Dr. Spingarn was for twelve years Professor of Comparative Literature in Columbia University, New York. He is a member of the international reputation. He brings to this cause not only learning and ripe scholarship, but eloquence, practical experience, and a passionate sincerity. He has taught for years ago, and for the last ten years he has given uniting devotion to the cause of black folk. He is a man of independent means, who has never been a slave. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which he is chairman, has a membership of about 5,000, with branches in over thirty cities all over the country; he is a member of the publication under its direction, has a circulation of over 35,000 a month. Among its other directors are Miss Jane Addams and Dr. C. E. Bentley Washington, Moorfield Storey of Boston, and Oswald Garrison Villard, John E. Mellandol, Rev. John Haynes Holmes, Dr. W. E. B. Du Boussai, Charles Washington, Moorfield Storey of Miss Mary White Ovnington, Mrs. Florence Kline, Paul Kennaday, and William English Walling of New York It is the only organization in the world that teaches white and colored people work together for the equal rights of black folk. TELEGRAM TO PRESIDENT WILSON BY DR. W. SINCLAIR, UNABLE TO BE PRESENT WITH DELEGATION. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Executive Mansion. Unavoidable circumstances make it impracticable for me to join the delegation as field secretary of the conference who are to present a memorial you on Thursday, the 12th inst., invoking your intervention against the segregation of government employees on or elsewhere on the ground of race, religion, or subjugation submit that such segregation violates the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, forces hardships and degradations of Colonial institutions, is subversive of American institutions, contravenes every principle of righteousness and justice and is a shameful reproach to our Christ-s religion. segregation represents not only the injustice it represents of slavery. We pray that you as the Christian President of this free and Christian nation will use your great powers, which are more than enough to disprove this foul blot from our civilization. (Signed), WM. A.
