The report says: "This is the account of one lynching. It is horrible, but it is matched in horror by scores of others in the last thirty years, and in its illegal, law-defying, race-hating aspect, it is matched by 2,842 other lynchings which have taken place between January 1, 1885, and June 1, 1916." "What are we going to do about this record? The civilization of America is at stake. The sincerity of Christianity is challenged. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People proposes immediately to raise a fund of at least $10,000 to start a crusade against this modern barbarism. Already $2,000 is promised, conditional on our raising the whole amount." THE APPEAL has made a contribution to the fund and hopes that every American who believes in the supremacy of the law and the perpetuity of democracy to give to the cause according to his means.

THE APPEAL started the fight against a jimcrow Republican campaign two months ago, when on June 5th, the editor addressed a letter to Jr. Hughes, the Republican candidate or President requesting him to have the campaign conducted on a platform and he was present at nearly all of the meetings to see that there was a square deal all around. The tickets for the automobile ride through the city were issued to the colored delegates just the same as to those of other nationalities and all delegates were instructed to take autos at the Congress Hotel. Shortly before the hour for the ride, some self-important colored men who wished to get a little glory for themselves and boom their club asked that the autos be sent to a club "out South" for the colored delegates. Rev. Carey, the colored representative on the committee, objected to this and told the people so, but as a number seemed to desire it and rather than mar the proceedings by a row, he reluctantly consented to the arrangement. So the majority of the delegates were in this manner separated from the main body of the visitors. It was due entirely to the jim-crow ideas of some of the colored people themselves and was granted after Rev. Carey had protested against it. Mayor Thompson had nothing whatever to do with it. A number of the colored delegates who were not pleased with the plans of the segregationists went to the Congress Hotel and were given seats in the autos which left from that place. THE APPEAL believes it is but fair to Mayor Thompson that this charge against him be refuted. He has been a consistent friend of the colored people for many years and has given the race better representation in high salaried places than any Mayor Chicago ever had. LITERACY LAW DEFEATED Oklahoma has been guilty of many crimes against certain classes of its citizens, but things seem to be looking up in that state, as the returns show that the proposed literacy test amendment to the state constitution has been defeated by a majority of about 15,000. The test would have disfranchised any person unable to read and write any section of the state constitution and was admittedly intended as a substitute for the famous "grandfather" law declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court because it in effect deprived colored men of the right to vote. FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE Word comes from Denmark that there is great public discontent over the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States. Many Danes say that the idea of disposing of Danish subjects without consulting them or the Danish people as a whole is unworthy of a Democratic government. Ninety-five per cent of the inhabitants are colored people and they are being sold to this country at the rate of about $800 a head. And their lot will be terrible if the sale is ratified by the Danish rigsdag, as they will have to live under a jimcrow government the same as the ten million colored people already here. There is a division among the Southern senators on the Child Labor Bill, Bankhead, Bryan, Fletcher, Hardwick, Smith (Ga.), Overman, Simmons, Smith (S. C.), Tillman and Williams voted against it while Swanson, Underwood, Vardaman, James, Beckham, Randell, Robinson, Culberson, Shepard and Shields voted for it. On all jimcrowbills the Southern senators stand together and vote as one man. It was Japan, a nation NOT WHITE, that has called the hand of the first president of the United States who has used his high office to discriminate against the colored part of this nation. BROWN Tokio dictates to WHITE Washington. SO mote it be. Senator Works of California is very indignant because the Japanese have been able to dictate to the Wilson administration what should go into the immigration bill. But the Japs have the battleships and the soldiers. The Chief Clerk. Navy Department. AGAINT JIMCROW CAMPAIGN. The APPEAL started the fight against a jimcrow Republican campaign two months ago, when on June 15th, the editor addressed a letter to Mr. Hughes, the Republican candidate for President requesting him to have the campaign conducted on a platform of "undiluted Americanism" using the words which he had adopted as his slogan. Since that time a number of letters have been written to the Republican leaders from Chairman Wilcox down, asking that all segregated features be eliminated. August 16, the editor again addressed Mr. Hughes, sending the following telegram: Saint Paul, Minn., August 16, 1916. Hon. Charles Evans Hughes. Republican Candidate for President, On tour, Portland, Ore. You have voiced "undiluted Americanism" as the slogan of the Republican campaign. The colored people are undiluted and unhyphenated Americans, born in America, and they desire to be treated as all other Americans are treated. This is a protest against the formation of a jim-crow annex to handle the colored voters in the campaign. They have suffered too much from segregation by the Democrats to relish it in the Republican party. To segregate the colored people is to place them beyond the pale of Americanism. Trust you will prevent the execution of any such plans. John Q. Adams, Editor THE APPEAL We are pleased to notice that the New York Age and other papers and many prominent citizens are aiding in the campaign for undiluted Americanism. NO JIMCROW WANTED. No doubt attempts will be made to organize the colored people along jim-crow lines in the coming Republican campaign and the efforts will in many cases be made by shortsighted and misguided colored men themselves, men who fail to see the importance of not segregating themselves. The colored people are American citizens? For about ten generations they have lived in this country and there is no hyphen in their make up. They have suffered from segregation and as this campaign is to be, to use Mr. Hughes' own words, one of "undiluted Americanism," there ought not to be any separation, but the people of every race, class and creed should work together as Americans for the election of a Republican president. Every effort to reach the colored people should be made through the Republican National Committee and not delegated by that committee to any group of self-seekers who may attempt to use the campaign to further their own selfish ends to the detriment of the masses of the people. Good colored speakers should be engaged in the campaign, but in the regular way, through the regular speakers' bureau and not through any segregated headquarters. Colored men and women stenographers and other employees ought to have a fair share of the campaign work at the regular headquarters. The colored people feel very keenly the humiliations which have been placed upon them by the Democratic administration and if colored men and women are recognized and treated simply as Americans in the campaign it will make the whole class enthusiastic for the ticket and win votes for the party. To segregate the colored people in the campaign is to place the race beyond the pale of Americanism. THOMPSON NOT JIMCROWIST The statement of the Chicago correspondent of the Boston Guardian that Mayor Thompson of Chicago jim-crowed the colored delegation to the Republican National convention is without foundation in fact. Mayor Thompson appointed Rev. A. J.

Fifty thousand copies of the story of "The Waco Horror" have just been distributed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its official organ, the Crisis, and as a result a campaign for the financing fund of $10,000 has been launched by the group hearing the details of this American atrocity, which for barbarty surpasses anything charged against the Germans in Belgium, Judge Moorfield Storey, National President of the Association, and formerly President of the American Bar Association, and Mr. Peabody, both of Boston, each offered the bank, both $1,000 toward such a fund or condemn that the remaining $8,000 be raised by August 1. The N. A. A. C. P. sent a special investigator from National headquarters at 70 Fifth avenue, New York, who commenced gathering evidence in what was, where the burning occurred, the lynching. Inasmuch as fifteen thousand people had sanctioned the affair by their presence and dozens of pictures were taken, there was no security in ascertaining the names and the failure of the judge and sheriff to make the slightest effort to protect their prisoner. The Association is bending every effort to secure a distinguished Texas lawyer with the failure of the judge and sheriff against these murderers into court. Politics, the investigator found, was at the bottom of the affair. Sam Fleming, the sheriff, is up for reelection at the Democratic primary in July. His opponent, Buchanan, though he has three dead niggers to his credit, and is popular. Unless he is to go back to selling buggies and cultivators for the THE TORTURE (Note hardware store. Sam needed a lynching to increase his popularity. The murder of Mrs. Fryer on Monday May 8, came just at the right time. Jesse Washington, a colored boy of murder and rape, his trial was set for May 15. The crowd began gathering from the surrounding country on Sunday. When court opened, 1,500 crowded into the room, inside the rail. The judge's desk and jury box, and 2,000 more waited in the court yard. The District Judge of the Criminal Court, R. I. Munroe, elbowed his way to his desk, and the boy was brought from his chambers, where he had been secreted since the sheriff brought him from Dallas in the middle of the night. As the jurors were called, the crowd gathered around him, but the trial was allowed to be buried through the jury brought in a verdict of guilt of murder and assessed his punishment at death. The sensed his punishment at death. The defendant had waived his legal rights, and would have been hanged that same afternoon. There was a paussed rabble rallied by the enogge rabber slicked out with his Sheriff Fleming sneaked out, too. Then a big fellow in the back of the court room yelled, "Get the nigger!" They took him before the nigger had pronounced judgment, without the judge lifting a finger in protest. Down the back stairs they rushed him to the crowd outside. They put him in his mouth so that he would maintain his grip, those tugging at it broke it, the driver of the Anheuser brewery truck, who led the rabble, wound it around his ```markdown ``` own wrist rather than take chances that the boy should die too soon. Many had come a long way to attend this party and they didn't want it to end in minute. Everybody was there they needed and sang like a bunch of fans at a ball game, according to a Waco paper. When the boy's clothes had been cut up and distributed as souvenirs there were not enough pieces to go around, somebody cut off an ear for his keepsake. The Waco Times-Herald published the same afternoon, said the same evening, some of the burning, people on every side a hand in showing their feelings in the matter by striking the Negro with anything obtainable; some struck him with shovels, bricks, clubs, and others stabbed him and cut him until when they stung up his body was a solid-colored blood of the many wounds inflicted covered him from head to foot."

As the smoke rose to the heavens, the mass of people, numbering in the neighborhood of 10,000, gathered over the flowing square, hanging from windows of buildings, viewing the scene from the tops of buildings and trees, set up a shout that was heard blocks away. Onlookers were hanging from the windows of the City Hall and every other building that com- pleted the sight of the burning, and as the Negro's shouts of delight went up from the thousands of threats, and apparently everybody demonstrated in some way their satisfaction. * * * The body of young Washington was burned to a crisp and was left for some time smouldering in the remains of Women and children who desired to view the bodies allowed to do so, the crowds parting to let them look on," says the newspaper account.

BYRD AN OPEN LETTER TO ROBERT RUSSIA MOTON. (From the Crisis.) The Crisis hastens to extend to you on your accession to the headship of Tuskegee the assurances of its good will and personal respect. The Crisis does this all the more willingly because it has to some extent been the mouthpiece of many who have had occasion repeatedly to criticize the work of your predecessor. It would be a matter of hope and rejoicing if your assumption of duty could be the beginning of a new era of union and understanding among the various groups of American Negroes. But understanding and co-operation must be based on frank conference and clear knowledge. As a preliminary step to such understanding the Crisis ventures in this open letter to express to you publicly its hopes and fears. It hopes that the aims of the colored American have become sufficiently clear to admit of no misunderstanding. We desire to become American citizens with every right that pertains to citizenship: 1. The right to vote and hold office. 2. Equality before the law. 3. Equal civil rights in all public placements and public services. 4. A proportional share of the benefits of all public expenditures. 5. Education according to ability and aptitude. With these rights we correlate our duties as men and citizens—the abolition of slavery and the emancipation of women, the suppression of crime and the overcoming of ignorance. The Crisis assumes—indeed, it knows—that in these matters you believe substantially, as we do, and that real differences between us, if they are real matters of present emphasis and present We assume, without denur, that following the late Booker T. Washington you will place especial emphasis on vocational training, propulsion and an conciliation of the white South. These are the crisis speaks policies, but they have their pitfalls, this warning word: 1. Only the higher and broader training will give you its ultimate leadership. This Mr. Washington came to realize, and this you must not forget. 2. Individual accumulation of wealth must gradually and inevitably give you the special accumulation and equitable distribution. 3. Finally: Conciliation is wise and proper. But how far shall it go? It is here that the Crisis confesses to its deepest solicitude in your case. It cannot but remember its unanswered plea. Louis luncheon. It has before it the heading of a Rochester paper which gives as your opinion that "from North, one gets distorted view of South." And finally, there is the recent case of the Pullman car and your family. The Crisis will assume in all of these cases that you have not been correctly reported; that you did not, but you give up lunch at the St. Louis Church; that you assert that the South was malignously at the North, and above all, that you did not say that you had no sympathy with the attempt of members of your family to ride on Pullman trains; but the Crisis knows only too well the way in which Southern newspapers put such sentiments into the mouths of colored leaders; but the point upon which we insist is this: that such arocious statements cannot be allowed to be heard. We do not wish the principal of Tuskegee to spend his valuable time in answering calumnies and missatements, but we do believe that when so monstrous a statement is made, as case of the Pullman car, something of silence and acquiescence is called for. We hope to see, therefore, at Tuskegee in the future a carrying out and development of the best of its past work and a continued attempt to meet the terms of understanding with the best of South; with these policies we hope to adopt a policy of making it clearly understood to the people of this country that Tuskegee does believe in the right to vote; that it does not believe in Jimmy carr; that it recognizes the work of egro colleges, and that it agrees with Charles Sumner that "Equality of rights is the first of rights." This, then, is the forward step at Tuskegee which the Crisis and its friends look for under your administration, and it desires to express its earnest hope and indeed its faith that you will not disappoint your fellow workers. Has Shown His Hand. Four days after the insurrection as principal of Tuskegee, Ala., and Industrial Institute the South forces Major Moton to "show his hand" and there is not even a "deuce" in it for the race. One thing sure is that the racial standpoint he is certainly no improvement upon Booker T. Washington. Unfit to Teach Our Children. (From the Martinsburg Pioneer Press) This paper has no retraction to make in the Major Moton affair. It thought then and knows now that no improvement was made by his promotion. Booker T. Washington's palace was not his only work for manhood rights now on the North as well for untold years to come, and his successor's ambition is to be patted on the back and be called "a good darken"—to the lower regions with the "good darken" class. Any goes back on his wife when abused by her, and her rights paid for, to ride in a Bulldog car, is unfit to lead and teach ours. Major Moton, please, don't assume the attitude of an apologist. We are hoping for big things from you. We know and appreciate the difficulties Moton stands squarely and firmly for justice in our society. Apology is due from either Moton. Moton or yourself, because as a cultured and refined woman she preferred to ride in a Pulman rather than in a "Jim Crow" car in which "equal accommodation" is not provided, and in which the conditions are sedum sanitary or pleasant.

Perhaps, if YOU don't see that it gets in the paper no one else will. THE APPEAL will publish it, if it's news. Some folks seem to think that if they leave envelopes unsealed they may enclose written matter and one cent postage will be sufficient. But not so, any written matter sent through the mails, must be paid for at the rate of two cents per ounce or less, whether the envelope is sealed or not.

"Beauty, Youth and Folly" which will open an engagement at the Star next-evening the Wing Sunday, Aug. 20th. Dave Vine and Wing means one of the most versatile and entertaining teams of "Nut" comedians will exploit the hilarity in the highly successful musical comedetta "The Lure of the Lamp" which has proved such a success since the opening of the season. The settings for "Beauty, Youth and Folly" are more dazzling than the scenes in the Magic Wand, the fact that the company is composed of forty players and include such well known stars as Don Trent, Sarah Hunt, Kate King, Cecilia Maurrau, Margaret King, Dan Dracey, Mlle Davenport & Co, gives claim that the entertainment is of more pretentious character than is often found in burlesque. Three months ago Dennis McGraw (who is a colored man despite his name) a waiter at Wildwood, borrowed ten cents from Max Sugaan, 444 Broadway and left a shirt and coat as security. Friday of last week McGraw went to get his shirt and coat but Sugaan could not find them. McGraw threatened to knife Sugaan who had him arrested and he was given a 10 days suspended sentence in the police court Saturday morning. Thurs. Aug. 31 MOVING PICTURES WHO WILL BE THE LEADING STAR IN THE PHOTO PLAY. "The Modern Minnehaha" to be Composed of Members of the Race Living in the Twin Cities—Vote for Your Favorite. A short time ago Mr. Thaddeus Stepp, manager and director of THE STEPP MOVING PICTURE SPECIALTIES at Duluth was in St. Paul and put on a moving picture show at Pilgrim Baptist Church that was very successful in every way. He was so imbued with the idea that a photo play with members of the race as the leading characters would make a big hit in the Twin Cities, that the following letter is the result: Duluth, Minn., Aug. 10, 1916. Mr. J. Q. Adams St. Paul, Minn. While in St. Paul and Minneapolis, recently I was impressed strongly with the idea, that the Twin Cities should afford a rousing photo drama, acted by members of the race of the two cities. Now it is absolutely necessary for us to act quickly in this 20th century time, and decide what we are going to do. I have made up my mind that St. Paul and Minneapolis, are the gate-ways to this great and historical Northwest, and there is enough of culture and refinement among the people to make such a photo play, a great success. I wanted to see you and have a general talk over the matter, but my time was taken up while in your city, hence this letter. I hope will be favorably impressed with my proposition, and lend me your hearty cooperation in laying the matter before the readers of THE APEAL. I am already arranging a scenario or having it written especially for the Twin Cities, entitled, "The Modern Minneie-ha." Now the question arises who is to be "Mimie" this must be decided by popular vote, the young lady receiving the highest number of votes will be the leading lady, in this play, these votes will be secured of you, and for here, there. £28 Fifth. Ave. East, Duluth, Mimie, to the joy of my hands no later than Wednesday of each week, that I may count some, and return candidate's name, and the number of votes each receives so that I can report result to you for publication same week. This film will be exhibited in the Twin Cities so that every one will have a chance to see themselves as others see them, and will also be placed on the exchange circuit to be sent East, South and West. Of courses then, I should there be a tie vote, I reserve the right to cast the deciding vote, the others will be used in the cast also, according to the number of votes each receives. Acting upon the suggestion of Mr. Stepp THE APPEAL has decided to give the people a chance to get into the movies, as follows: Carefully cut out the coupon that you will find in each copy of THE APPEAL. Write, plainly, the name of your choice and her address and forward to Mr. Stepp or votes may be sent to this office. Each coupon counts for five votes. Extra copies of THE APPEAL may be obtained at the office, 302 Court Block for three cents each, or coupons already cut, out may be obtained at the same price. No votes counted not on THE APPEAL coupons. The lady receiving the largest number of votes will be the leading lady in the photo play. The others voted for will be given parts in the play, if possible, according to votes each receive. N. B. To get into this contest all you need to do is to send in your name and address on a coupon. VOTES FOR MOVIE PERFORMERS. I vote for M No. ..... St. City ..... As Leading Lady in the Photo Play "THE MODERN MINNEHAHA" This Coupon good for Five votes. MRS. J. E. CLOAK SHOT. The camp at "Hope Nook," Long Lake, was treated to a big lot of excitement and account of a practical joke that ended we seriously. Last Tuesday evening Mrs. J. E. Cloak with others, went to the tent occupied by Mr. A. V. Hall and scratched on the tent something like a muskrat that he had been watching for and in his excitement he fired his pistol in the direction of the noise. The ball struck Mrs. Cloak in the forehead, making a very serious and painful wound. Mrs. Cloak was brought to Sk. Joseph hospital in a taxicab and was placed under arrest at Margaret He. He was never released when it was found after shooting was purely accidental. Dr Val D. Turner extracted the ball and Mrs. Cloak is getting on as well as could be expected under the circumstances. This accident shows how foolish it is to play practical jokes. If you wish a quick lunch of toothsome home-cooked food at reasonable prices go to J. H.

Brown was playing in a flat building that was being erected near his home he slipped and fell four stories breaking his left arm just above the wrist. He was taken to the residence of his parents and Drs. Fitzgerald and Swineburn who happened to be in that vicinity learned of the accident and at once went and set the arm before Dr. Brown got home. Fortunately no internal injuries were sustained and only a few scratches were added to his injuries and the little fellow was soon as comfortable as could be expected and will shortly be himself again.
