Individual accumulation of wealth must gradually and inevitably give way to methods of social 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 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 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 voluntarily give up lunching at the St. Louis City Club; that you did not assert that the South was maligned truly by 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 cars in the South. The Crisis knows only too well the way in which Southern newspapers put such sentiments into the mouths of colored leaders; but the pointup which we insist is this: that such atrocious statements cannot be always passed in silence. We do not wish the principal of Tuskegee to spend his valuable time in answering calumnies and misstatements, but we do believe that when so monstrous a statement is made, in the case of the Pullman car, something besides silence and acquiescence is called for. tion of poverty, 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 the real differences between us, if there be such, lie in matters of present emphasis and present procedure. We assume, without demur, that following the late Booker T. Washington you will place especial emphasis on vocational training, property getting and conciliation of the white South. These are necessary and against these the Crisis speaks policies, but they have their pitfalls, this warning word: 1. Only the higher and broader training will give any race its ultimate leadership. This Mr. Washington can to realize, and this you must not forget. 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 come to terms of understanding with the best of the white South; but to these policies we hope to see added 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 Jim Crow cars; that it recognizes the work of the Negro 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. --- VOL. 32.

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 words and deeds of your predecessor. It would be a matter of hope and rejoicing if your assumption of new duties 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 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 overcoming of ignorance. The Crisis assumes—indeed, it knows—that in these matters you believe substantially, as we do, and that the real differences between us, if there be such, lie in matters of present emphasis and present procedure.

Speak Ou THE MOTON INCIDENT. (From the Cleveland Gazette.) mission to wrong and injustice in order to exist in the world, we choose Major Robert Moton has recently been installed as principal of Tuskegee, Ala., N. and I. Institute. He made a favorable impression here in Rochester. Everyone regrets to know that his wife was subjected to such brutal treatment as to be driven out of a Pullman car in Alabama. It appears, according to reports, that the riding in a Pullman car by the Motons had been a subject of discussion before the journey was begun. Mrs. Moton felt that she was clearly within her rights to ride in a Pullman car anywhere it went. The white passengers complained of her being too small for everything she was opportune, they opposed him from usual law-breaking reports of Alabama to drive a defenseless woman out of the car, in which she could travel with comfort and ease, into a "jim-crow" car, where vermin dwell. It is very unfortunate for the white passengers that their selfish ease and comfort had made them snobs to the extent that they objected to the presence of the wife of the principal of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute—the school that the country says is "the colored man's finest educational asset." Is it possible that any white woman could be so robbed of the milk of kindness and womanly instincts that she would urge the driving of that woman and the burden of her berth which she had purchased for the company that had accepted the money for order that white supremacy might get another boost? Above all do we regret the reported statement issued by Major Moton. He did not stand by his wife in her fight for her rights. He advised the submission to human oppression. He is quoted as saying that he "has the highest regard for the traditions of the South, he having been born there." We commend him for his consideration of the South, but we are amazed, however, at his foresaking his wife in this hour of her humiliation. We also have respect for the traditions of the South that are humane and just, but the innocence and oppose the recent "tradition" of the South, which make them lynch and degrade the colored race under the disguise of "Southern chivalry and greatness." The officer that ejected Mrs. Moton was a law-breaker and coward. The Pullman company that received her money and gave her a berth had the right to protect her. We are to choose between life, respect and rights on the one hand and Tuskegee that will teach crushing sub --- ```markdown ``` mission to wrong and injustice in order to exist in the world, we choose the former. Between Major Moton and his courageous wife in this instance is no real choice. Fair-minded men and women of all races sympathize with and stand by Mrs. Moton. If Tuskegee is to be continued as a mill to turn out colored boys and girls who are spineless and cowards when their civil rights are at stake, the sooner it goes to the wall the better it will be for all concerned. Great buildings, imposing machinery, beautiful grounds and varied industries amount to naught when the real thing, MANHOOD, is crushed out. Major Moton should understand now that Tuskegee is a nation's school, the milieu sought for from all races should remain hiding if the inhuman and brutal practices of the worst element of the South are to determine its policy. If the best whites of the South acquiesce in it, then we say move Tuskegee where it can develop character and MANHOOD. The "jim-crow" can must be fought and the time is opportunity to fight when one of the foremost women of the land has been so shamelessly humiliated and apparently foresaken by her strong defender. Major Moton's task is a difficult one, but let him start right. If the advice given his brother and wife is characteristic of what he will give students, we quake and tremble for colored boys and girls. (REV.) WM. A. BOYD, Rochester, N. Y. RESENTMENT NEEDED. After having been granted Pulman tickets from Montgomery, Alabama to Savannah, Georgia, the wife of Major Robert R. Moton, recently installed as principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Blanton Moton, his brother, were ejected from the car by "two policemen and some of the best citizens" of Troy, Ala. Although they had paid Pullman fares and were interstate passengers, both were forced to ride in the jimcrow car. The wires tell us that when Major Moton was informed of the matter, he condoned it saying that he "respected the traditions of the South and had no respect for the people who committed the outrage." The APEAL appeal in saying that if Major Moton is quoted correctly and feels that way that he is unfit for the presidency of an institution which is designed to fit col --- ored youth for life. Manhood should be the basis of all training. What more is needed to make a man resentful than an attack on his wife? A being who would not defend his wife against every eoe is unworthy to be called a man. Even among the lower animals the males willingly give up their lives in defense of their mates. The present unhappy state of the coerce people in the United States is largely due to the servile the so-called leaders who have been not only too cowardly to defend themselves when attacked but have actually advised submission to great wrongs. Has Shown His Hand. (From the Cleveland Gazette.) 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 "deuce" in it for the race. One thing sure and that is from a 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 pledge gave us double work for manhood rights not only in the South but 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 darkkey"—to the lower regions with the "good darkkey" class. Any man who goes back on his wife when abused for contending for her rights paid for, to ride in a Pullman car, is unfit to lead and teach our children Stand Squarely for Justice. Major Moton, please don't assume the attitude of an apologist. We are hoping for big things from you. We know and appreciate the difficulty of your position. Stand squarely and firmly for justice to your race. No apology is due from either Mrs. Moton or yourself, because as a cultured person you should ride in a Pullman rather than in a "Jim Crow" car in which "equals In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. IT no longer blind, Lord God, deaf to our prayer and dumb to our dumb suffering. Surely Thou too art not white, O Lord, a pale, bloodless, heartless thing? Ah! Christ of all the Pilies!

But whisper—speak—call, great God, for Thy silence is white terror to our hearts! The way, O God, show us the way and point us the path. Whither?

Major Moton's First Duty. The future of the great work at Tuskegee, may call for an offending silence, but it will never be helped long or to any great degree by an abject surrender of the race's rights. Major Moton's first duty to himself and his race is to set himself now and at all times four square with the progress of his people. Must Contend for Rights. (Almond Planet.) We do not just understand the position of Principal Robert R. Moton in the matter . . . That is no other course of course than to continue to contend for rights denied, even though we are reubenced and appointed in so doing. No question is ever settled until it is settled right. We must continue to appeal to the conscience of the American people. We must continue to attempt to enforce our rights through the courts of the land, even though some of them may be prejudiced against us. The Color Line (From the Chicago Evening Post.) Major Moton is quoted as saying that he bears no resentment against anyone for the treatment accorded his wife. If he wore an American, he would resent it hotly and the railroad would pay damages. As an Afro- American he may not act on the im- pulse of self-respect and chivalry; he must cringe and submit. Unless He Can Talk Like a Man. (From the Richmond Planet.) (From the Richmond Planet.)

"Crooking the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning" brings wealth from the great masses of white people alright, but it also brings a vast amount of contempt. There is so much bowing, cringing and nauseating servility shown by some of our people, is it any wonder annointed, and therefore vastly super that even the 25th class of white people feel that they are the Lord's rior to all colored people? THE HAND PICKED LEADER (From the Kansas Elevator.) The Elevator would like to know if the time has not arrived when colored men should select their own leaders instead of the one indicated the task to the hands of designing masters of a posite race, and if any colored man can serve two masters at one and the same time, and if as a general proposition, the "hand picked leader" is not always against his race? Shun Them as Vipers. (From the Martinsburg Pioneer-Press) Just as long as the negro believes "he has a place," and is constantly jerkling off his hat when out of it, he will be the cause of many others enduring hardships forever and aye. As long as a certain class of whites take to this class of sycophants, the more rigidly those who wear their sovereignty under their own hats, should denounce, discard and shun them as they would a viper. All American Citizens (From Qur Dumb Animals, Boston, Mass.) Four colored men shot to death and two burned alive in Early county, Georgia, December 30. Sam Bland and Will Stewart lynched in Dodge county, Georgia. Another colored man hanged to a telephone pole in Forest City, Arkansas. A colored woman, Mrs. Cordella Stevenson, whose son was accused of burning a white man's barn, taken from her home and hanged by a mob near Columbus, Mississippi. A few weeks' record. All American citizens. Had one of them been killed on a steamship sunk by a submarine what 'a flood of patriotic oratory would have been poured forth, in the name of the "nation's honor." Apparently it makes a difference where American citizens are killed and who kills them. MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE No. 2812 Tenth Avenue South J. N. SELLERS, Manager.

For many years we have heard a lot about throwing the "hammer" into the discard and giving time to "constructive work." Many have said: Build up; never tear down. But knocking and tearing down are just as necessary in the economy of things, as building up. Battering down Wrong is a useful process and must usually precede the building up of Right. "Foul as it is, hell itself is defiled by the fouler presence of John." That was the terrible verdict of the contemporaries of King John of England. In his person were combined insolence, selfishness, unbridled lust, cruelty, shamelessness and tyranny. The barons rose against him and demanded a change A. D. 1215, they invited the King to a little meeting at Runnymede and they informed the absolute monarch that there must be some material modifications in the autocratic power of the King. John did not relish the demand but he realized that he stood alone and that the barons had their little "hammers" up their sleeves and were ready to use them, so he granted the Magna Charta. The Great Charter was discussed, agreed to, and signed in a single day. Thus modern democracy and liberty had their origin in "hammer" work. In the sixteenth century the Catholic Church had grown corrupt. The priests were guilty of immorality, extortion and all the other crimes in the decalogue. The Inquisition was working overtime. When conditions were at their worst, Martin Luther appeared on the scene armed with a "hammer," and he hattered down the Devil so strongly entrenched in the church. Thus began the Reformation which separated the Protestant church from the Romish See, and conferred inestimable benefits on mankind. For many years the American colonies had been oppressed by England, the mother country. The colonies protested against taxation without representation. Mother England refused to heed the cries of her children, so in 1775, the colonists revolted, the first blood shed being that of Crispus A. B. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

In accepting at Hodgenville, Ky., on behalf of the nation the Lincoln memorial, President Wilson, among other things said: "Nature pays no tribute to aristocracy, subscribes to no creed of caste, renders fealty to no monarch or master of any name or kind. Genius is no snob. It does not run after titles or seek by preference the high circles of society. It affects humble company as well as great. It pays no special tribute to universities or learned societies or conventional standards of greatness, but serenely chooses its own comrades, its own haunts, its own cradle even, and its own life of adventure and of training. "Here is proof of it. This little hut was the cradle of one of the great sons of men, a man of singular, delightful, vital genius who presently emerged upon the great stage of the nation's history, gaunt, sh, ungainly, but dominant and majestic, a natural ruler of men, himself inevitably the central figure of the great plot. No man can explain this, but every man can see how it demonstrates the vigor of democracy, where every door is open, in every hamlet and countryside, in city and wilderness alike, for the ruler to emerge when he will and claim his leadership in the free life. Such are the authentic proofs of the validity and vitality of democracy. Those are beautiful words, but in view of the president actions, they are simply words, with no sincerity behind him. It was a strange spectacle—Lincoln, the man who gave freedom to a people, lauded by the man, President Wilson, who, after these people have traveled for fifty years on the road to complete liberty, had placed many obstacles in their path." Attucks, a mulatto, whose valor the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has commemorated in enduring granite and bronze on Boston Common. The continued "hammering" of the colonists finally brought the liberty which was proclaimed, July 4, 1776. In the seventeenth century, African slavery was inaugurated in America. William Wilberforce and others "hammered" at the vile wrong in England. The agitation was continued until the year 1834 saw the abolition of slavery in all British colonies. Bond-service had a strong hold in the United States, but the abolitionists had already unsheated their "hammers," William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Charles Sumner and hundreds of others "hammered" the great evil until the slave holders' rebellion came, when "hammers" were exchanged for guns, and with the assistance of nearly 200,000 former slaves, who fought nobly, the great blot was wiped from the escutcheon. The work of the hammer is not yet complete. Thousands of social wrongs still exist which must be hammered until they disappear. Thousands of men, such as women-slavers, jimcrowists and their ilk, men who would barter their birthrights, must be hammered until they beg for mercy and reform or are knocked into hell. Great is the hammer! Long may it exist to knock down the Wrong; to build up Right. J. B. Editor of The Crisis, Author of "A Litany of Atlanta." Published Originally in The New York Independent and Reprinted by Permission in The Appeal. TEXAS MINISTERS EXCITED The ministers of San Antonio, down in Texas, are excited. They have discovered a great wrong and they are kicking like the proverbial Texas steer. For years Texas has been the scene of barbarous practices. Families have been driven from their homes; outrageous laws, discriminating against one class of citizens have been enacted, men and women have been mob-murdered, but the ministers saw it not. The horror at Waco, where a living human being was roasted at the stake while the Christians of that city danced joyously around the pyre did not awake them from their stupor. But a recent dance given by the ladies of the Y. W. C. A. at the Y. M. C. A., has aroused them to fury and they have come together and passed resolutions denouncing the "unholy thing." Such is life in Texas, which is competing with Georgia and Mississippi for first place as a mob-rules state. Vice President Marshall in a recent speech put President Wilson in the Abraham Lincoln class. He hardly belongs there, for fifty years after Lincoln gave freedom to the slave and their descendants had advanced in education, morality and good citizenship to equality with other citizens, Wilson has endeavored to turn back the hands of time and treat them as if they were lepers. HUGHES FOR EXACT JUSTICE. Many colored people have been in doubt about Mr. Hughes' stand on the question of their rights as citizens: The Republican candidate for president settled the matter by his declaration in his address before the students of Fisk University and other colored citizens at Nashville, Tenn., when he said: "I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all citizens regardless of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice.' We want in this country what is right and fair. I am sure you do not wish particular things done because of color. You want what is right and fair. I desire to see such fair and decent and just treatment as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood." THE APEAL believes that if he is not guilty as charged, Major Moton ought to reply to the open letter of the Crisis and issue a signed statement repudiating the reports sent out by the Associated Press. The spirit of manhood in the principal of Tuskegee, is of more importance to the colored people than a billion dollars worth of beautiful buildings. HAS THE GOOD BISHOP BEEN SILENCED? Bishop Alexander Walters is a well-known citizen. For years he has pounded the Bible, waved his hands in the air and demanded "manhood rights." In the campaign of 1912, he supported Wilson, after the then Governor of New Jersey had promised if he were elected, to give the colored citizens of the country a "square deal." Wilson became President and it must be acknowledged that the good bishop protested against the segregated toilets and labored to induce the President to revoke the unjust orders and also give colored men national appointments as he had promised, but the chief executive was obdurate. Not an order has been rescinded; not an appointment has been made. Bishop Walters became indignant and gave the press a long letter roasting President Wilson for his short comings. The letter was strong and the good bishop even suggested that it might be well to run a straight colored national ticket if future presidents did not "tote square." Reading between the lines, one was forced to the conclusion that the good bishop was even willing to immolate himself on the altar of patriotism, and head such a ticket. But now it seems that the bishop will no longer howl for manhood rights; no longer will he denounce the President for his failure to keep his promises; no longer will his stentorian voice be raised in arraignment of the Democratic party for its many injustices to his people—at least it looks that way and THE APEAL is willing to wager a few of its hard-earned dollars on the outcome. The good bishop, who receives a salary large enough to support his family in comfort, and a few donations and extras besides, should have hurled the $100 appointment which President Wilson has just given Mrs. Walters, back in his face. That would have been the proper attitude of a well-paid Bishop of the Church of Christ, and a colored man, whose people had been insulted and discriminated against by the President of their native land. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER The unceasing warfare against injustice and wrong which has been waged by William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, ought to win for him a warm spot in the heart of every right-thinking human being. With his pen and tongue, he has done much to quicken the moral fiber of the colored people and they are learning the lesson that sacrifices must be made, if they would win the great battle for civil and political rights. There are no frills and furbelows about William Monroe Trotter. He is a plain, earnest, honest, upright man, who has decided to give up wealth, official preferment and worldly honors to dedicate his life to a noble cause. THE APPEAL has always admired him because he is an UNCOMPRO-MISING advocate of right and justice. While the majority of the so-called leaders have equivocated and compromised the people for gold or power, William Monroe Trotter has always stood as a stone wall against every form of injustice whether by the nation, the state, the municipality or the church. ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S SHAME. Ten years have passed since Atlanta, Georgia, was the scene of one of the most uncalled for and bloodiest riots ever recorded in history. Colored men and women were ruthlessly slaughtered because of race hatred; not a single one killed had been guilty of any crime whatever. The massacre was caused by the incendiary editorials of the Atlanta News and Journal, owned by Hoke Smith, since governor of Georgia and now United States senator from that state. In his gubernatorial canvass Smith also made incendiary speeches inciting the Caucasians against colored people and demanding that the race be disfranchised. Senator Hoke Smith is said to be the author of the jim-crow policy of the present administration and he has the active support of Vardaman, John Sharpe Williams and nearly every Southerner in Congress. THE APPEAL reprints in this issue "A Litany of Atlanta," by Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, editor of The Crisis. It was written just after the riot, the author being at that time a resident of Atlanta. September, 1916, being the tenth anniversary of the massacre and the recent renaissance of burnings and lynchings in Georgia render the publication timely. KEEP "DEVIL" IN M. E. RITUAL. Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church are willing to have the marriage ceremony shortened, to discountenance the old doctrine of "infant depravity." But they refuse to take "devil" out of their ritual. These facts were learned with the arrival in St. Paul of the revised book of discipline and ritual with more changes in it than have been made in years. The alterations were made at the general conference in Saratoga Springs last May. It was decided not to eliminate the word "devil." And it is well that the word has been retained in the book because it is in the hearts of the majority of the people who attended the conference at which one of the most devilish, hellish and unchristian actions ever legislated in a church conference was enacted—the union of the Northern and Southern Methodists. The coming together again after the split over slavery was in itself not wrong, but the fact that it was made the basis of the segregation of the colored members. The Southern white members refused to come back unless the colored membership was segregated for all time, the cowardly colored curs who call themselves leaders, silently acquiescing in the insult to the Christ. As the devil himself is in the people of the church, by all means the word "devil" should stay in the ritual. 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 hellocracies of the South that the ruthless murder of colored Christians must cease within the borders of this Christian (?) land. IN THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY. In his speech at Nashville, Tenn., in the enemy's country, Charles E. Hughes made a bitter attack upon President Wilson and the Democratic Congress for meeting the demands of the railroad employees for an eighth hour day by the passage of the Adamson bill. The address was delivered in the auditorium before a packed audience of 3,000 people, a large majority of whom were openly hostile to the speaker, and many of them attempted to start demonstration for Wilson by hisses and cat-calls, but his fighting words won the crowd and they greeted him with tremendous applause. Mr. Hughes walked calmly to the front of the platform and said: "I shall not soon forget the warmth of the welcome of this vociferous meeting," he said. "It is a great delight to have the pleasure of visiting Nashville, and it has been peculiarly grateful to me to receive many courtesies at the hands of the good people here, quite regardless of their party affiliations." Some men who had taken part in the hissing sat back abruptly as if they had received a slap in the face. The crowd appreciated the situation, and a nervous laugh, followed by a ripple of applause, swept through the ball. HUGHES STANDS FOR EXACT JUSTICE. "I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all citizens regardless of race or color. The one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice.' We want in this country what is right and fair. I am sure you do not wish particular things done because of color. You want what is right and fair. I desire to see such fair and decent and just treatment as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood." President Wilson, speaking before the citizenship convention, urged a "square deal" for the immigrant and demanded that America be kept the finest example of the objects and ideals that go to promote the standards of the world. "We ought to be careful to maintain a government at which the immigrant can look with the closest scrutiny and to which he should be at liberty to address this question: 'You declare this to be a land of liberty and of equality and of justice; have you made it so by your law?' "I believe America should exalt above everything else the sovereignty of thoughtfulness and sympathy and vision, as against the grosser impulses of mankind. No nation can live without vision, and no vision will exalt a nation except the vision of real liberty and real justice and purity of conduct." Natural born Americans were warned by the president to examine themselves carefully to see whether they have burning in them the true light of America which they expect to show to these foreigners. If a "square deal" for the immigrant why not a square deal for 10,000,000 AMERICAN BORN citizens who are hounded and humiliated, discriminated against and often mob-murdered because more or less African blood flows in their veins? The president is the leader of the Democratic party which has displayed the greatest zeal in enacting discriminating legislation and the president himself has sanctioned the most infamous racial discriminations which were wholly outside the law. The president's rhetoric is perfect, but those who have suffered from the enactments of the Democratic party and the president's approval of unjust and unlawful and UNAMERICAN practices, naturally doubt his sincerity. His beautiful words are but bunk. LOWDEN WINS ILLINOIS By an unprecedented majority Col. Frank O. Lowden has won the Republican nomination for governor of Illinois, over two competitors at the primary election. Col. Lowden is one of the finest men the editor numbers among his friends. He has known him for many years and can testify to his sterling worth and honesty of purpose. Major William H. Thompson threw his influence to Col. Lowden and in spite of the Chicago Tribune, that copperhead sheet, and other papers, he triumphed. The Chicago papers have fought Mayor Thompson, largely because he dared to give his colored constituents a square deal in appointment to office under his administration. Rev. A. J. Carey, Chicago militant minister did some good work on the stump for Col. Lowden. When he told of Mr. Lowden's friendship for colored people, which he has demonstrated in many ways, his hearers became enthusied and he made many votes for the colonel. We feel certain that Col. Lowden will be the next Governor of Illinois. A GREAT GRAFT A national colored democratic league has been organized for the purpose of making a raid on the democratic barrel. The four members met this week and elected themselves officers. Resolutions indorsing the administration of President Wilson and his jimcrow policy were adopted by a unanimous vote of four. Mr. Peacock explained an elaborate THE SIN OF SILENCE 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. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS TO MEET OCT. 4 ON RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP. Colored Press Supporting Movement Strongly—150 Newspaper Notices Already Given—Open to All As Individuals or Delegates—Called by National Equal Rights League. Washington, D. C., Sept. 14, 1916—The large John Wesley church, centrally located at 14th and Corcoran streets, northwest, has been secured for October 4-6, for the sessions of the Citizenship Rights Congress. The B. M. C. will overshadow all other events held in or close to their week of Sept. 11-16. We extend welcome to the race to come on for rights. This National Colored Congress is to be an open one, both to delegated persons and to individual representatives of the cause who attend on their own responsibility. It is to be free and open for race conference, action and education. The congress will organize itself independently. The Equal Rights League will call it to order and those assembled will then create the congress. Racial fraternizing, mutual acquaintance, unity of spirit and of progress, exchange of notes on local conditions, race unity of feeling and a future national working together of rights, a united declaration to the country of colored Americans on color proscription, are among the purposes this gathering. No move will impress white American public of our presence, capacity and spirit for equal rights, like an actual national convention attended by large numbers of colored citizens from various states. Delegated representatives are quite advisable, and churches, civic and literary societies, fraternal organizations, political and other clubs are asked to elect and send delegates. The call asks that a Citizens' Equal Rights Committee be formed by public spirted citizens in each company to work up interest, hold a public meeting and send representatives. Any person is at liberty to start such a committee. Act at once. Secretary Wm. Morrow Trotter at 27 Cornhill, Boston, will be glad to receive suggestions, and in plan "to get next to" the democratic national campaign fund which was received with great enthusiasm and shouts of "Let me get to it!" CIVILIZATION vs. THE MOR Sixteen members of the mob which stormed the jail at Lima, Ohio, last week in an attempt to lynch a colored man charged with crime have been indicted. Thirteen of the sixteen have been arrested and are in jail. It is believed that 100 indictments will be returned. That is the difference between Ohio, where the law is respected, and Georgia, where the mob rules supreme. Ohio acts within a week; Georgia never acts. The Richmond Planet has an article headed "Major Moton's Denial" and quotes from the New York Age, that paper's statement of the case. As a matter of fact there has been no denial by Major Moton of the charges as stated in the public press. THE APPEAL agrees with the Cleveland Gazette, that the Age evidently means well, but that Major Moton is fully able to speak for himself. When Jim Vardaman of Mississippi was elected U. S. Senator he promised his constituents that he would have the Fifteenth amendment repealed, but somehow he has not been able to deliver the goods. Thomas Walker, E. M. Hewlett, F. M. Spencer, F. M. Spencer, and others NO DENIAL. WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS. IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.

The St. Paul Baptist ministers meet in the study of the First Baptist church Monday at 10 o'clock for the purpose of extending a welcome to Dr. Bailey, the new pastor of the First Baptist church. Among those present of the Baptist pastors were Reverends Weeks, Colver, Otto, Murrell, Moore, and others. Dr. Bailey had in advance been informed of the intended visit of his fellow pastors and was in his study to receive the delegation. Before the close of the hour of fellowship and talk, it was quite evident that St. Paul Baptist Pastors the opinion that St. Paul Baptist Pastors the organization and meet regularly for mutual purposes. After an expression of this general opinion, a motion was carried that such an organization be now perfected. The vote was unanimous. On nomination of Dr. Bailey and the vote of those present, Rev. B. D. Weeks—pastor of Woodland Baptist church—was made president. On the nomination of Dr. Otto and the unanimous vote, Rev. B. N. Murrell—pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church was made secretary. The organization shall be the First and Second Baptist Ministers' Alliance." The meeting will be held on the Fourth Monday of each month in the Y. M. C. A. building. Revs. Moore, Stoeckman and Swanson were appointed to write By-Laws for the new organization. At the close of the meeting in the study of the First Baptist church, the ministers in a body went to the Tea room of the Emporium where they took lunch together. FRED TALBERT PAINTING AND PAPER HANGING. INTERIOR DECORATING TEL. 620-645 138 E. THIRD ST. 4671 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 involved 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. Dear Sir: 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-way 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, hence this letter. I hope you 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 pleased to arrange a scenario or having it written especially for the Twin Cities, entitled "The Modern Minnie-ha-ha." The question now arises that 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 forwarded to me 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, and return candidate's name, and the number of votes each receives so that I am reported 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 APEAL 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 APEAL. Write, plainly, the name of your choice and her address and for whom sheep or votes may be sent to this office. Each coupon counts for five votes.
