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 usually at the North, and above all, that you did not say that you had no snippe 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 upon 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. 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. NO 39 ```markdown ``` Thou knowest, good God! Awake, Thou that sleepest! 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 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 wave 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 home 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. 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 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 came to realize, and this you must not forget. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY.

Speak Out Ma --- (From the Cleveland diacetyl). Major Robert Moton has recently been installed as principal of Tuskegee, Ala., N. and I. Institute. He made a favorable impression while here in Rochester. Everyone regrets to hear that his wife was subjected to hard work and hard work as to be driven out of a Pullman car and bama. 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 presence and when everything was opportune, they depended upon the usual law-breaking officials of Alabama to drive a defenseless woman out of the car, in which she could travel with her own ease, into a "jim-crow" car, where she would very unfairly undertake that their selfish desire 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 child was so robbed of the milk of kindness and womanly instincts that she would urge the driving of a refined mother out of her berth which the company had accepted the money for, in order that white supremacy might get involved in the reporting of the report statement issued by Major Moton. He did not stand by his wife in her fight for her rights. He advised the submission to inhuman 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启蒙 and oppose the recent "tradition of the South," which make them lynch, burn, imprison and degrade the colored race under 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. I we are to choose between life, respect and rights on the one hand and Tuskegee that will teach cringing sub --- --- THE MOTON INCIDENT. Turn again our captivity, O Lord! Forgive us, good Lord; we know not what we say! Keep not thou silence, O God! 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 MANHOOD is, crushed out. Major Moton should understand now that Tuskegee is a nation's school. The millions now being taught from all races should remain in 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 opportune 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 Pullman tickets from Montgomery, Alabama to Savannah, Georgia, the wife of 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 institutions of the South and had no resentment of people who committed the outrage." The APEAL has no hesitancy in saying that if Major Moton is quoted correctly and feels that way that he is unfitted for the presidency of an institution which is designed to fit col- --- Done at Atlanta, in the Day of Death, 1906.

A being who would not defend his wife against every efe 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 colored people in the United States is larger than the servile tactics of the be-called leaders. We do not only too cowardly to defend themselves when attacked but have actually advised submission to great wrongs. Has 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 "deuce" in it for the race. One thing sure and from a racial standpoint he is certainly a great 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 the home of the hood 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 darker"—to the lower regions with the "good darker" class. Any who goes back on his wife when abused by a man paid for, to ride in a-Pulman car, is unfit to and teach our children. Stand Squarely for Justice. (From the Omaha Monitor.) 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 of your position. Stand squarely and hold your ground.

In silence, O Silent God. Selah! commodations" are not provided, and in which the conditions are seldom sanitary or pleasant. 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. The 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. (From Richmond Planet). We must just understand the position of Principal Robert R. Motton in the matter . . . There is no other course to pursue the continue to contend for rights despite even though we are reubaked and disappointed 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 were an American, he would resent it hotly and the railroad would pay damages. As an Afro American he may not act on the impulse of self-respect and chivalry; he must cringe and submit. Unless He Can Talk Like a Man. (From the Richmond Planet.) Principal R. R. Moton has gone to work. It would be well for him to keep at it and to have nothing further to say about that Pullman sleeping car incident. Servility Brings Contempt. $2.40 PER YEAR. "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 The Elevator would like to know if the time has not arrived when colored men should select their own leaders instead of leaving the delicate task to the hands of designing men of the opposite 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 jerking 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. IS HE TOO, A TRUCKLER? It is said that Major R. R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, condones the recent outrageous treatment of his wife who was ousted from a Pullman sleeper in Alabama and compelled to ride in the "fimcrow" car because of her color. If Major Moton is willing to condone such an outrage it is evidence that he is not the man to be at the head of a great institution for the "training of young colored men." The first thing to be taught our youth is manhood, for without that they can never amount to anything, and a man who does not resent an attack on his own wife is certainly not the person to teach manhood to others. The beasts of the jungle will fight to the death to protect their mates. Major Moton has recently been installed as principal of Tuskegee but it looks as if he ought to be supplanted by a real man, who does not "respect Southern traditions" as Moton claims to. J. Q.

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." ALL HAIL, "THE HAMMER!" 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.

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 battered 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 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.

William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Beechest 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. MORRIS THE MAN. The re-election of Edward H. Morris as national grand master of the Odd Fellows is a great triumph for the manhood of the colored people. For several years the jimcrow element in the order has endeavored to unhorse him, but the manly men have been on their guard and have prevented that which would have been a great catastrophy. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, works under a charter from the Grand Lodge of Eng- 1910 any of Atlanta," Published Originally by Indent and Reprinted by The Appeal. land and for that reason, the colored members in the United States enjoy the fellowship of millions of men of every race, scattered all over the civilized globe. Edward H. Morris of Chicago, is the foremost colored lawyer of the world. His career reads like a romance. Coming from the depths of poverty, his tattered overcoat, barely covered the ragged suit he wore when he took the examination for the bar. Now he is one of the leaders of the Illinois Bar and there are few who are anxious to battle with him in the forum. Those who are competent to judge estimate that he has accumulated a fortune of more than a million dollars. Master of sarcasm, ridicule is one of his most powerful weapons when addressing a jury. Keen in analysis and versed in precedents, he seldom loses a case, for after examination if he decides that it has no merit, he will not accept it no matter how alluring the retainer offered. Morris is a clean cut, thinking man, who knows that he is an American and who not only demands but receives treatment as an American. When he was a member of the Illinois legislature he secured the passage of a strong civil rights bill, to safeguard the rights of all American citizens. As there are many jimcrow men among the 700,000 members of the Odd Fellows in this country, the advantage of having a man at its head who believes in manhood, should be apparent to the most casual observer 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 HARRIS & EWING WASHINGTON DC. HAPRIS & EWING WASHINGTON D.C. REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN MANAGERS—NO. 2. HON. JAMES B. REYNOLDS, Secretary Republican National Committee. Astute Leader. Brilliant and Effective Campaign Plans. HON. JAMES B. REYNOLDS, Secretary Republican National Committee. Astute Leader. Originator of Brilliant and Effective Campaign Plans. 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. BEAUTIFUL, BUT BUNK. 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." 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 APPEAL 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. 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 forewarm 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 hellocracles of the South that the ruthless murder of colored Christians must cease within the borders of this Christian (?) land. M. H. B. REYNOLDS, mittee. Astute Leader. Originator of live Campaign Plans. BEAUTIFUL, BUT BUNK. 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 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." Points Emphasized by Hughes In His Speech at Springfield, Ill. The demand by the administration for such legislation [the Adamson bill] as the price of peace was a humiliating spectacle. The phrase "eight-hour day" is apparently used to tickle the public ear in order to establish something quite different. If the asserted judgment of society inspired it, why does the act apply to only a limited number of railroad men, relatively few? Had the executive gone at once to Congress for immediate authority to secure prompt and thorough investigation of the stated grievances in advance of action, and had he thus made instant provision for an inquiry so entirely competent as to command the respect of the country, I am satisfied there could have been no strike. Within a few hours, on demand of the administration Congress provided a mandatory increase of wages involving millions of dollars, without any idea whether the increase was or was not justified. And this action was taken in connection with the essential instrumentality of commerce, the arteries of our commercial life. practices, naturally doubt his sincerity. His beautiful words are but bunk. 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. 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 UNCOMPROMISING 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. NO DENIAL. 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. THE APPEAL believes that if he is not guilty as charged, Major Moton 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 in or close to their week of Sept. 11-16. We extend welcome to the race to come on for rights. Thomas Walker, E. M. Hewlett, M. W. Spencer, F. M. Murray, and others. 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 declaration. 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 of this gathering. No move will imminent the white American public of our present number, 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 spirited citizens in each community to work up interest, hold a public meeting and send representatives. Amy committee is at liberty to start such a committee. Act at once. Secretary Wm. Morro Trotter at 27 Cornhill, Boston, will be glad to receive suggestions and inquiries. 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. 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 jimcow policy were adopted by a unanimous vote of four. Mr. Peacock explained an elaborate plan "to get next to" the democratic national campaign fund which was received with great enthusiasm and shouts of "Let me get to it!" 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.

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. 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 can 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, 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 APEBAL. I am thankful for the advice 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 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 the 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. 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 fill in each copy of THE APPEAL. Write neatly 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 votes counted not on THE APPEAL. 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.

Intentional Duplicate Exposure 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 so taken up while in your city, hence this letter. I hope you will favorably impressed with my proposition and that your hearty cooperation in laying the matter before the readers of THE PEALE. I are already arranging a scenario or having it written especially for the Twin Cities, entitled, "The Modern Minne-ha-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 forwarded to me here, 623 Fifth Ave. East, Minn., to be in my hands for that day, and these planning of each week, that I may count out 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 cast in 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. In N. B.

Faithful impersonations of Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Theda Bara, Clara Kimbal Young, "Ambrose," "Steve," Blanche Sweet and many others will be offered along with numerous original features, surprises and novelties. Foremost among the funmakers will be Harry B.
