THE APPEAL prints in this issue the special report of an agent of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who was sent to Texas to investigate the recent man-burning at Waco, the center of Texas Christian Civilization. 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.

More than $7,200 has been raised for the Anti-Lynching fund of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and a new appeal is being made to complete the fund at once. THE APPEAL trusts that every American who believes in American institutions will give something toward this worthy cause. U. S. WARNS TURKEY! The American embassy in Constantinople has been instructed by the state department to make representations to the porte in behalf of Armenians who are threatened by the Turkish advance into Persia. The representations call on the Turkish government, "in the name of humanity" not to permit any massacre of Armenians in Persia. The purpose is said to be to forewarn Turkey against any such situation as prevailed in Asia Minor. The Turks will not pay any attention to any "representation in the name of humanity" because they know that they are hypocritical, and that "humanity" has little place in the United States. The Turks know that colored men and women and children are massacred without mercy and lynched without trial in the Southern murder belt. They know that the colored people who are not killed are cowed and discriminated against and meet with injustice from the cradle to the grave. The Turks know that the worst enemy the colored people have in this country is the so-called Christian church, which is continually denouncing the Turks as barbarians. The treatment of their brethren of darker hue by the Caucasian Christians represents the very refinement of hellish brutality rather than human brotherhood. Instead of making hypocritical representations to the Turkish government, the United States government ought to stop segregation of citizens in the civil service and "in the name of humanity" President Wilson, Secretary Lansing et al ought to tell Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and the other hellocircles of the South that the ruthless murder of colored Christians must cease within the borders of this Christian (?) land. TO VOTE AT 113 In 1803, when Thomas Jefferson was President, when the population of the United States was 6,000,000, when the capitol at Washington had not nearly been completed, when Napoleon was not yet Emperor of the French, when France still owned all of Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma and a large part of Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming and Montana, a colored child was born into slavery in North Carolina. Tuesday this child, now a woman 113 years years old, freed and enfranchised, had her name inscribed on the book books in Chicago and at the next election will cast her first vote. Her name is Mrs. Susan King. She has all her faculties and answered the questions of the election judge briskly. Mrs. King avoided a direct answer when asked for whom her first vote will be cast? AGAINST 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.

Charles Evans Hughes, Republican Candidate for President On tour. Portland, Ore. 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 beend 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 hypen 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. 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. 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. THE CROSS THE TORTURE (Note the "Frenzied" Mob) ```markdown ``` MOB OF CHRISTIANS BURNING HUMAN BEING IN U.S.A. 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 Press, and as a result a campaign for an annual fund of $10,000 has been launched by the group hearing the details of this American atrocity, which for harbarty 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 the officer G. Peabody, both of Boston, each offered the horrific $10,000 toward such a fund be raised by 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 Texas, where the burning occurred for the lynching. Inasmuch as fifteen thousand people had sanctioned the affair by their presence and dozens of pictures were taken, there was no difficulty in ascertaining the names of the victims. The failure of both 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 experience 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 accurate, has three dead niggers to the 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 seventeen, confessed to both murder and rape. His trial was set for Monday, May 15. The crowd began gathering from the surrounding country on Sunday. When court opened, 1,500 crowded into the room, inside the rail, about the judge's desk and jury box; 4,000 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 "don't need" to need any jury! but the trial still allowed ried through. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder and assessed his punishment at death. The defendant had waived his legal rights, and would have been hanged that afternoon. There was a pause of a fifteen-minute hangar rapher slipped out with his records. 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 court had pronounced judgment, without the judge hissing a finger in protest. Down the back stairs, they rushed him to the crowd waiting outside. They put the chain in his mouth so that he wouldn't choke too soon, and when those tugging at it broke it, the driver of the Anheuser brewery truck, who led the rabble, wound it around his 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 happen. They had to sage 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, some somebody cut off an car for his keepsake. The Waco Times-Herald, published the same afternoon, wrote 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 were up in his body was a solid color and blood of the many wounds inflicted covered him from head to foot." They took Washington to a tree on the City Hall lawn just outside the window of His Honor, the Mayor, which he generously shared with Mr. Glidersleeve, the photographer to the city, and Mr. A chain was thrown over the limb of this tree, and while the fire was being lit, this bloody thing was hoisted into the air where everyone would have a full view. A manicurist who windows look like a cadetle & Mingle, whose investigator she saw them unsecu the lad. As the chain tightened around his neck, this half-dead creature reached up convulsively to grab it, so they cut his fingers off. The Waco Times-Herald makes no bones of it. "Fingers, ears, pieces of clothing, and other parts of the Negro's body were thrown into the mob that had crowded to the the "Frenzied" Mob). scene as if by magic when the word that the Negro had been taken in charge by the mob was heralded over the city. As the smoke rose to the front, the mass of people, numbering in the hundreds, crowding the City Hall lawn and overflowing the square, hanging from the 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 lawn, commanded a sight of the burning, and as the Negro body commenced to burn shouts of delight went up from the thousands of throats, 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 crowd allowed to do so, the crowds parting to let them look on, says the newspaper account. One father, when questioned about the propriety of holding his lit son on his shoulder where he could get a good view, is reported as saying: "My son son can't learn too young the proper way to treat a nigger." At 12 o'clock the crowd adjourned for lunch, as usual; but by a quartet past one some of the boys were back the cowboy who had ridden in off the town diversion by lassoning the corpse and riding all over the town with the remains dangling at the end of his lariat.

BYRD The Crisis hastens to extend to you on your accession to the headship of Tuskegee the assurances of its good Crisis this all respects will willingly cause it has to some extent been the mouthpiece of many who have had occasion repeatedly to criticize the words and deeds of your predecessor. It would be a matter of hope and rejoice that the frank conference and clear knowledge nary step to such understanding the Crisis ventures in this open letter to express to you publicly its hopes and fears. Hopes that the aims of the colored American have become sufficiently clear to admit of no misunderstanding or misstatement. 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 places, and in all public services. 4. A proportional share in 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 poverty, the emancipation of women, the suppression of crime and the overreaction to crime. The Crisis assumes—indeed, it knows—that in these matters you believe substantially, as we do, and that the real differences between us, if you look at which he in matters of present emphasis speaks and present emphasis we assume, without denur, that following the late Booker T. W. Washington you will place especial emphasis on vocational training, propagation of the white South. These are necessities and against these the Crisis speaks policies, but they have their pitfalls, this warning word: the higher and broader training will give you more ultimate leadership. This Mr. Washington came to realize, and this you must not forget. 2. Individual accumulation of wealth must gradually and inevitably give way to collective 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 case. But how far shall your case. It cannot but remember the query of you in the case of the St. Louis luncheon. It has before it the heading of a Rochester paper which gives as your opinion that "from now on you get 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 reported; that you did not voluntarily report; that you did not ride the St. Louis City Club; that you did not assert that the South was maligned usually at the North, and above all, that you did not say that you had no sympathy with the attempt of memorial rides on Pullman cars in the South. The Crisis knows only too well the way in which Southern newspapers put such sentiments into the mouth of colored leaders; but the point upon which the crisis is this: that such atrocious thesis cannot be always passed in silence We do not wish the principal of Tuskegee to spend his valuable time in answering calumines and misstatement in the case of the man when so monstrous a statement is made in the case of the Pullman car, something besides silence and acquiescence is called for. We hope to see, therefore, at Tuskegee to further carry out and development of the past work and a continued attempt to come to terms of understanding with the best of the white South; but to these policies we hope to see added a work of making it clearly understood to the people of Tuskegee does believe in the right vote; that it does not believe in Jim-Crow cars; that it recognizes the work of the Negro colleges, and that it agrees with Charles Sumner that rights of the 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 views, and indeed its faith, that you will not disappoint your fellow workers. Haas Shown His Hand Four days after the inauguration as principal of Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial Institute the South forces Major Moton to "show his hand" and there is not even a "duce" in for the race. One thing sure and 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 prosecution. Booker T. Washington's palliation gossip for manhood for manhood rights not only in 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 darkey"—to the lower regions of the good darkey" class. Any man who back on his wife when abused for contempt of her rights paid for, to ride in a Pallimar unit to teach and teach our children. Major Moton, you don't assume the attitude of an apologist. We are hoping for big things from you. We know and appreciate the difficulties in position. Stand squarely and firmly for what you are asking, apology is due from either Moton. Moton or yourself, because as a cultured and refined woman she preferred to ride in a Pullman rather than in a "im Crow" car in which "equal accomodation" is not provided, and in which the circumstances are seldom sanitary or pleasant.

CLARENCE JOHNSON COMMITTEE: THE UNION HALL ASSOCIATION Charles H. Miller, President G. L. Hoage, V. Pres. J. E. Mruphy, Sec. R. M. Johnson, Treas. W. T. Francis Atty. J. B. Johnson O. D. Howard J. H. Thomas M. L. Barksdale S. E. Hall J. H. Dillingham J. W. Kelley F. B. Simpson C. H. Roper George B. Lowe M. A. Bolling The Attraction at the Star Theatre Next Week. "A great big show that is out of the ordinary." That sentence certainly expresses the concensus of critic's opinions of the "Hello Girls" which will be the offering at the Star all next week, beginning Sunday, Aug. 27th. Record houses should be the rule for there is nothing but class to the production, from first to last. The lavish scenery, intricate lighting effects, gorgeous costumes and excellent music will be more of musical comedy than burlesque. The lyrics and music have been specially written to suit the carefully selected cast and everything is not only up-to-date and original, but catchy. The book in two acts is entitled "Misfit Cohen" and deals with the adventures of an eccentric character, who has accumulated more than his share of collateral by selling old clothes. This character is portrayed by Harry Raymond of inimitable originality and cleverness and the plays affords many laughable scenes. In principal support of Mr. Steppe is Mona Raymond, the $10,000 beauty, Nellie Nice, Laura Houston, Geo. Martin and others. LAWN SOCIAL AND HOUSE PARTY.

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 SPECIAL TIES 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 so taken up while in your city, where this letter. I hope you will be favorably impressed with my proposition, and lend your hearty cooperation in laying the matter before the readers of THE PEALE. I am already arranging a scenario or having it written especially for the Twin Cities, entitled, "The Modern Minnie-ha-ha." Now the question arises who is to be "Minnie" 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 forwards here. 623 Fifth Ave. East, Duluth, Minn. to be in my hands no later than Wednesday morning of each week, that I may count same 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 exhibited East, South and West. Of course there is to be a number of people in the cast, 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. Yours truly, T. W. STEPP. 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 will will each copy of THE APPEAL Write, "I will enjoy 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.

Fifteen Drivers Entered Already—75-Mile Continuation Race to Be a Feature. TWO DAYS of auto racing will be held at the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 4 to 9, and the most pretentious program ever held on a dirt track anywhere in America is promised auto racing fans. Wednesday, Sept. 6, and Saturday, Sept. 9, are the two days which have been set aside. A leading feature will be the Minnesota leg of the International State Fair Championship race. The Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri State Fairs, each represented by a noted driver, are competing in this series of races. A big race with all eight drivers competing is to be held at each of the eight fairs, and the State Fair scoring the most points at the eight meets will be given temporary possession of a gigantic loving cup. The Minnesota State Fair is angling for the services of a noted driver whose home is in Minnesota, and as soon as he has been engaged his name will be announced. Two preliminary heats will be run Wednesday, and the final race, a five-mile one, will be held on Saturday. A purse of $3,500 has been hung up for a 75-mile continuation race, in which fifteen drivers will compete.
