SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1917. --- "Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. PATRIOTIC MID-YEAR EDITION. This issue is the Patriotic Mid-Year Edition of THE APPEAL. THE APPEAL is an American newspaper without any hyphen, prefix or suffix. The editor of THE APPEAL is an American without any hyphen, prefix or suffix. THE APPEAL believes that every person born in the United States is an American, should feel that he is an American and should be ready to sacrifice all of his possessions and even his life to defend the United States. In return for his loyalty to his native land, THE APPEAL believes that every American has the right to expect every right and privilege accorded to every other American. No land is a democracy in which there are two classes of citizens. These are the days that we should feel patriotic. One hundred and forty-one years ago the United States shook off the bonds of Great Britain and became independent. The Declaration of Independence states that "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. After one hundred and forty-one years this ideal has not been realized and our much vaunted democracy is largely a sham, but some progress has been made. We are now at war and it is claimed that we are fighting for world-wide democracy, and in spite of the fact that many forces have been at work in recent years to retard the growth of democracy, THE APPEAL believes that the end of the war, will find the United States further advanced in true democracy than may appear possible at the present time, and in spite of itself. Not only the United States but in the whole world we are about to enter an era in which the basic principle will be human brotherhood. DEMOCRACY WILL GAIN. Prof. Charles E. Merriam in an article on the "War for Freedom" assumes that as a result of the present war both civil liberty and industrial democracy will be the gainers in every country in the world and the United States will be no exception. Here are some of the things he has to say: CHRISTIANS SPECIAL SEGREGATED HEAVENS FOR ALL COLORED RACES. WE NEED YOUR NUMBERS TO MAKE CHRISTIANITY APPEAR STRONG. WE ALSO NEED YOUR TRADE.

Submitted by THE APPEAL for Use in the Newspapers of the Orient. A fund of $1,000,000 is to be put into religious publicity in the secular papers of Japan, India and China, according to announcement made in St. Louis at the church publicity conference of the convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, by the Rev. George M. Fowles of New York, treasurer of the board of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal church. "Since the outbreak of the war democracy has achieved important successes, the significance of which may well be carefully weighed.

Home rule for Ireland is well on its way, and suffrage for women is apparently about- to achieve its final success. "In Germany and Austria the rumblings of democracy are being heard, even above the roar of the cannon. The abolition of the three class system in Prussia; the rearrangement of the Reichstag districts, which have been unchanged since 1869; the grant of broader suffrage in Austria, are concessions which the ruling class must make to the people. "It is not possible to raise the flag of democracy, and organize a great crusade against autocracy, without advancing the line of democracy in every country in the world, whether on one side of the contest or the other. If there are autocrats who hope to use the name and seal of democracy as a means of obtaining political or economic privilege, they are doomed to disappointment. They are unchaining democratic forces that cannot be quieted without full recognition of their position in society and the state. In the long run, both civil liberty and industrial democracy will be the gainers in every country in the world. America will be no exception." War is a horrible thing viewed from any angle, but good will come out of it and when it is over many of the old prejudices and distinctions which have cursed the world will have been burned away. SHOULD REDUCE BURDENS IN U. S. David R. Francis, American ambassador at Petrograd, has wisely issued a statement, in which he explains to the people of Russia the aims of the mission headed by ex-Senator Root. There is no person, says Mr. Francis, on the commission who desires to influence Russian internal affairs. This is intended to dispose of charges and insinuations that have been made in ultra-radical Petrograd organs. The mission has only two functions, the ambassador declares. One is further to elucidate the motives and objects of the United States in entering the war, and the other to "try to reduce the burdens and privations of the Russian people." While so much is being done to aid the Russian people, would it not be well to "try to reduce the burdens and privations" of certain classes of Amer- 1.

AN INSULT TO PATRIOTS The registration for the selective draft is over. It passed without any serious disturbances anywhere in the United States, although many arrests were made of people who were guilty of aiding the anti-registration propaganda. So far as the dispatches show, not a single colored citizen of the United States was delinquent in any way whatever. And the colored people constitute the only group of which this can be said. Now that the registration is over, it must not be forgotten, the colored citizens were subjected to an infamous insult and one which was not offered to any other class of citizens. The insult consisted of the inscription in the lower left hand corner of the registration card. "If person is of African descent tear off this corner." It was an insulting classification, separation and segregation to which no other group was subjected, not even German aliens and spies or naturalized German-American thousands of whom are at heart traitors to their chosen country and many of whom would not hesitate to strike and will not hesitate to strike for the Kaiser, if the opportunity comes. It is said that the United States has gone into war to fight for democracy. If this is true the undemocratic conditions at home should be eliminated before the soldiers go abroad to fight for democracy. Cut out all Jim Crow business in the United States. Give us liberty, equality and democracy. YES, THERE WAS A TRAITOR. THE APPEAL has stated a number of times that there are no colored traitors in the United States, but we feel that we ought to make a retraction. A colored traitor has been found and his name is John Burlingame, a resident of the world famous murder city, Memphis, Tenn. After a mob of leading Memphians had burned a colored man at the stake dancing like wild Indians around the body as it burned, John Burlingame, a colored chauffeur, seized an American flag from an automobile he was driving and cried to several colored men who had witnessed this act of barbism: "Come on boys! We are through! Let's join the Germans! Hurrah for the Kaiser!" Then he tore up the flag. He was seized by a dozen men who started to lynch him for manifesting a lack of patriotism. Officers, who claimed to be, unable to protect Pearson from the mob, took Burlingame in custody and turned him over to the Federal authorities. He will be prosecuted. Yes, there was a traitor. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin", was born in Litchfield, Conn., June 14, 1811, one hundred and six years ago, and died in Hartford, July 11, 1896. Mrs. Stowe was the wife of Prof. Calvin Stowe and the daughter of Lyman Beecher. J. F. Rhodes in his "History of the United States From 1850" says of "Uncle Tom's Cabin": "The author felt deeply that the fugitive slave law was unjust and that there was cruelty in its execution; this inspired her to pour out her soul in a protest against slavery. She thought that if she could only make the world see slavery as she saw it her object would be accomplished; she would then have induced people to think right on the subject." When Mrs. Stowe prepared the plan of the work that was to become famous and profitable beyond her fondest dream, she was approaching her fortieth year. Her husband's small income hardly sufficed to meet the frugal needs of a large household. She was worn out with the care of many young children and the burden of the literary work she was doing to eke out the salary of Prof. Stowe. There was nothing but the prospect of a bitter struggle for a bare living when the inspiration of a lifetime came to her and she wrote her "Uncle Tom's Cabin." When the story was first published serially in the National Ers, an anti-slavery paper in Washington, it obtained little notice. When, however, it was put on the market in book form it had the most extraordinary success. Longfellow thought that while it was one of the greatest triumphs of literary history, it contained an even higher moral triumph. In England some of the most enthusiastic encomiums were passed upon the author and her book. Lord Palmerston, Lord Cockburn, Charles Kingsley, Lord Carlisle and Macaulay expressed their warmest appreciation of this strange novel and of the extraordinary influences which it was having in so many countries. More than 1,000,000 copies of the book were sold within nine months after its publication. Thirty different editions were published in London within six months of the appearance of the book in America. It would be a long list which should contain the number of languages in which the work was published subsequently and Mrs. Stowe's name became a familiar one in all parts of the civilized world. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was one of the most remarkable books ever written and it probably did more to cause the war of the rebellion than any other one influence. Abraham Lincoln, after he became president, expressed a desire to meet Mrs. Stowe and when she came to the White House he received her cordially. He looked at her intently for some time and then said, "So you are the little woman who caused the civil war!" TRIBUNE VOMITS AGAIN. The following from the Chicago Tribune seems like a voice from the tomb. It is on a par with some of the stuff printed by the copperhead Tribune before and during the slaveholders' rebellion. The writer may have been born since 1870 but his think machine was evidently cast in one of the left over molds of 1850. It is headed: BLACK MAN, STAY SOUTH! They say down south that "niggers are all right in their place," but where is that place? South? At Memphis, Tenn, a Negro was recently burned alive. North? At East St. Louis, Ill. Negroes are mobbed, beaten, and run out of town. We taunt the south with race prejudice when it burns a "bad nigrier," but just see how we northerners detest even "good niggers!" The real race prejudice is ours. Our very philanthropists betray it. They saw to a black man, "God bless you, good-by," whereas the south says, "—— you, come here!" Or put it this way. The northerner is a great friend of the Negro but not of a Negro; the outherner is a great friend of a Negro but not of the Negro. Prof. Munsterberg once described the race as "passive at every turn of fortune," yet within the last year Negroes by the thousand have actively undertaken to find a place for themselves. They have come north. It was a huge mistake. They escape barbarous punishment for their occasional crimes while winning no appreciation for their habitual virtues. They are disliked. When their presence becomes a burden, as at East St. Louis, they are abused. It is on these terms only that they enjoy the longed for "liberties of the north"—its "social equality," for instance. But do they really enjoy that? Our observation goes to show that the Negro is happiest when the white race asserts its superiority, provided that sympathy and understanding accompany the assertion. Not long ago a Virginian noticed a very gloomy black porter in a northern hotel, and, learning that the Negro had come from Virginia, said, "You ———— black fool go back to Virginia!" The reply revealed much: "O, Cunnel, dem's de fust kind wud dat's been spoken to me since Ah come no noff!" Southerners insist that "the nigger must be kept down." They enforce the color line. Yet they will work side by side with Negroes, befriend them in adversity, and overlook their minor fallings. Gradually they are working toward the results suggested in the carton on this page. They do not hate Negroes. In their heart they like them. Said Dooley: "I'm naught troubled whin the naygur is amonst his oppressors, Hinnessy. What troubles me is whin he falls into th' hands iv his liberators." In the same city where the foregoing vomit was spewed up, Miss Sophronisba Breckenridge, of the University of Chicago, a southern woman and one of the famous Kentucky family of Breckenridge, said: "The cry has gone up from a large number of people: What are we going to do with these 'dreadful men and women' who are coming to us from the South? I say we should be here to welcome them, to help them, to give them a chance to make Chicago a better home than they could find in the South." THE TOMB OF WASHINGTON British, French and Italian "Missions" have already visited the United States and others from Russia, Japan and Serbia are enroute. The British and French missions visited the tomb of Washington and placed wreaths thereon. Millions of loyal colored America citizens are deterred from visiting the tomb of the "Father of His Country" by the knowledge of the fact they would be obliged to travel in jim-crow cars to reach Washington's last resting place. A NEEDED WAR MEASURE. The government of the United States ought to stop lynching as a needed war measure. As a military necessity, loyal patriotic citizens ought to have a chance for their lives and no man, even though he be innocent of crime is safe when the lyncher is abroad. The stern hand of military law ought to descend upon the people who are defying the law and making a mockery of democracy. The daily newspapers often contain "scare heads" and accounts of horrible man burnings, where the victim is drenched with oil and burned at the stake. If some of these papers should get out of the country and fall into the hands of the Germans who have despoiled Belgium or into the hands of the Turks who have massacred the Armenians they might use them as a justification of their atrocities. Loyal patriotic citizens of the United States demand the suppression of lynching and the summary punishment of the lynchers as a needed war measure. Prior to the war the Jews of Roumania were subject to many disabilities and were "jimcrowed" just as the colored people of the United States are. Now that Roumania has been devastated and almost wiped out of existence by the invading Teutons, the remnant of the leaders realize the value of the Jews to the country and are preparing to give the Jewish people complete citizenship. The great unification meeting of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Methodist Episcopal church South started at Traverse City, Mich., June 27. The commission is made up of five bishops, ten ministers and ten laymen from each church. The indications are that the Southern church plan of "jimcrowning" the colored members will be carried out. Winston Churchill has a long article in the papers on "True Democracy U. S. Navy Basis." Mr. Churchill knows a great deal of matters in England, but is evidently not well informed about the U. S. navy. Instead of being on a democratic basis, many American citizens have been refused enlistment because of their color. Mr. Lee L. Brown of Louisville has opened his campaign for the nomination for the state legislature of Kentucky. He is a clear-headed, honest fighter for justice and would be an ideal man for the place. Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, colored member of the board of education of the District of Columbia, has been re-appointed "Negrees and Dogs Not Allowed" (From the Nashville Clarion) Down in Houston, Texas are some elevators in public buildings labeled "NEGROES AND DOGS NOT ALLOWED." Generous Classification! Such signs as these account in such measure, for the exceedingly rapid manner in which the Colored men are depopulating the South. They can be neither blamed nor censured for leaving a town like this. They have hearts and souls and human pride, just like the people of other races. Must Have a Place in School Our naval training camp has every nationality under the sun. As a red flag to flout into the face of the bull, we have Chinamen out there, the Filipino out there, the Greek out there, the Hebrew out there, the Italian out there, and God himself only knows that if we are near, but we do know there we are near the bathroom where the mop and broom. Space must be made for the boy of the Colored race in the school for which we are paying taxes. Campaign Agalrist Lynching. (From the Christian Recorder.) There is no better time than NOW to begin a National Crusade Against Lynching in the United States. For the raptivity with which this national crime has spread, the barbarity with which it has been disgraceful complacency with which it is regarded, should arouse the con- History was made by Americans "of African descent" at the Suffrage League meeting in Boston. The New England Suffrage League, for manhood suffrage in the Southern states, founded by Rev. Wm. H. Scott of Woburn, Mass., in 1904, has vindicated its continuance for 13 years. It met in the 12th Baptist church and when its sessions closed at midnight with a reception in the vestry to delegates, after two executive sessions attended by nearly 100 delegates from eleven states and a crowded mass meeting that pulsed with earnest enthusiasm for the slogan, "A share in this world democracy for which men must fight," there had been launched a National Colored Liberty Conference to make real that slogan. Not in years has this new England League had a largely attended annual meeting in spirit and in work. Editor Trotter was again re-elected president. In spirit and in work, the Royal welcome and the League's spokesman voiced with courage and ability the claims of the race to real democracy at home. Now let all get ready to attend the Colored Liberty Convention at Washington this fall. Calls on Nation to Give Colored Man His Rights "This country can never succeed under God in establishing democracy over the world while color caste and disfranchisement are so flagrantly practised at home," said William Munroe Trotter. "We Colored Americans," continued the speaker, who presided at the all-day session yesterday, "now solemnly call upon the President and Congress and the people of the United States to permit the Colored American to enjoy this world democracy for which the race must fight. We are not willing to help the rest of the world to enjoy liberty and democracy while our race is held in serfdom in the Southern states." Liberty Convention at Washington this Fall. A National Colored Liberty Conference charged with the work of calling a National Colored Liberty Convention at Washington in the fall was formed with these officers: The Officers Elected.

Begins With a New Jim- Crowism Added to the Rest to Fight for World Democracy, but to Have Distinctions of Col- or in Our Own Army—Denial of Equality. (From the Journal, the leading daily paper of Boston, Mass., June 28, 1917.) THE DEAREST PROMISE IN THE WHOLE OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES IS THE PROMISE OF EQUALITY FOR ALL, REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR OR PREVIOUS CONDITION OF SERVI- TUDE. But it is not always pleasant for a Negro to read that promise. "Marked Carde." Nor will the Negro feel a thrill of promise when he comes to write down his name for service to his country. For the registration card makes a distinction of color. The man who has his name to that piece of pasteboard has his name to that piece of disposal of this government in war. That should be enough. But no—the government asks that he shall specify his "color." Literally, this government is beginning with marked cards. We don't need to review the fine record of the African race in fighting the war in America. Its men have been in the war ever were there came an opportunity to serve. History vouchers for that. Now a Jim-Crow Registration And here, when we come to fight for democracy, we find distinctions drawn according to the color of a man's skin. Negroes have not fared well during the present national administration. They have disappeared from public offices, and Jim Crow grip of the South has grown firmer. And NOW A JIM CROW REGISTRATION. Race and color in our "Army of Democracy." If we were to define democracy as applied to the army of a democratic nation, we should picture men of all race, and all creeds grouped together in equality. A white millionaire's son might share a ten with a Negro and a Chinese. But—"color" Race, color and previous condition of servitude apparently are to be recognized in our army of democracy. Blunder No. 1. Must Be Wiped Out. But it must be wiped out. If an aristocratic snobbishness has drawn up the registration blanks, a democratic decency must later deny the distinction. Else we make a joke of our highest boast. The Color Line in the Catholic Church. (From the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La.) Vocare, New Orleans, La.) There are two hundred thousand colored Catholics in the United States because of her F. McEntire, a prominent catholic who is in selling of the orders and societies to women working among color people in the United States, among other things says in the Tidings, of Los Angeles: "The Church knows no color-line in the House of God, and any man who tries to lay one down is not a true Catholic." This is good reading but it is not true to fact. There are only two colored priests in the entire Catholic THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes coward The human race has test.

Moreover, the color issue is drawn as completely in the Catholic Church as elsewhere. There was a time when the Catholic churches welcomed colored people to the altars but not now. In n. Jeppe Church, New Orleans, a few seats in the ear are marked reserved for colored. The American prejudice has at last a full grip on the Catholic Church. A Chinese Puzzle. (From the Cleveland Gazette.) The governor of Massachusetts and mayor of Boston are trying to find out why they are refused enlistment in that state, field artillery and in the first coast artillery. Almost Americans from that state (and others) are refused at the Plattsburg, N. Y., officers' military training camp where Dr. J. E. Spingarn is a major-in-training. The Cause of Migration (Atlanta (Ga.) Independent) When meat was 15c a pound and flour $8.00 a barrel, the colored laborer received from $4.00 to $8.00 a week. Now meat is 30c a pound and flour $16.00 a barrel, he is receiving the same wages. He cannot live at this and the white man cannot expect him to remain in the South and live on the starvation wages he is paying him when the fields and the factories in the North and West are offering him living wages. If the white man will express lynching and lawlessness in the South, he will pay the colored man living wages given him a square deal on the farms, better schools, open the doors of the shops and facilities to his prowess, and let him in the labor unions, municipal ordinances (to keep colored men from leaving the South) will be unnecessary. Worse to Ask for Jim Crow. (From the Cleveland Gazette) We agree with the editor of the N.Y. It is bad enough to have segregated (on behalf) military training camps FORCED on us by the government, but infinitely worse to ASK for them. Hates the Term "Negro." "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for distranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one percent of one per cent of the colored people in America can trace their descent to Africa and there is no more right to call an African people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm.

Club managers met at Lyles & Williams' pool room last Tuesday evening and disposed of the prize car matter. As the club had not sold enough tickets to justify the giving of a car, they deducted their expenses from the amount received which left a balance of $90.00. The coupons and pennants in a box and a little boy drew the winning ticket therefrom, viz: "S. 54 No. 18" which was held by J. H. Lawson, proprietor of the tailor shop, corner of Fourth and Jackson streets and he was given a certified check for the $90. On last Saturday evening the wedding of Mr. J.

THE MEMORIAL SERVICE. By Frederick Douglass Lodge, Quite a Credible and Notable Occasion. The memorial service held by Frederick Douglass Lodge 9005, G. U. O of O. F., at St. Peter's, M. E. church last Sunday night was all that could be expected from start to finish, notwithstanding the handicap caused by some absentees and misunderstandings. The opening song as lined by B. L. White was a treat of the soul. The forewords of J. A. Hanly in his address of welcome was a revelation highly credible and timely and was well received by the large audience. The splendid words of A. J. Roberts, the first N. G. of the lodge, was to the point and inspiring to all. A roll of the dead as carried out was no longer the climax but "something new under the sun," in this great Northwest. The words of Orrington C. Hall and Rev. Jas. S. Strong were also timely and well received. Mrs. Alice Franklin on behalf of Household of Ruth 553 gave a splendid paper in her own classic style. A song, "Sweet and Low," that thrills the soul, was sung by Miss Cornelia Goehl, Household 671. The address of William R. Harris. Esq. of Minneapolis, on behalf of St. Anthony Lodge 2877 was indeed befitting the man. The sermon by Rev. James M. Henderson was the apex of his efforts thus far in our midst. Special appreciation and thanks are tendered to Mesdames Addie Crawford Mater and Emma Shaw Archer for their splendid service in song and music. And last, but by no means least, the man responsible for it all, B. L. White, to whom a vote of thanks and a blue ribboned medal is due. He believes in starting on time and keep-ing going. And that they did not end on time was the fault of his. He led a splendid splendar from the hall to the church, escorted members of Patriarchy 114 of St. Paul and Past Grand Masters Council of Minneapolis. It was a splendid affair in every away. ```markdown ``` CLARK'S DELICATESSEN AND ICE CREAM PARLOR ST.PAUL'S MOST UP-TO-DATE CAFE & ICE CREAM PARLOR YPU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT AND WHEN YOU WANT IT AT CLARK'S A LA CARTE MEALS AT ALL HOURS Try Schmidt's MALTA with your meals ALL KINDS OF SOFT DRINKS 338 KENT ST.

Rondo Auto Club To Be a Food Training Camp as Well as the "Greatest Show on Earth." The Minnesota State Fair, which is to be held Sept. 3 to 8, has tendered its services as a "food training camp" to President Wilson, to assist the government in its efforts to increase crop production and reduce the waste of food in this country, which is known to be exorcistic.

Do you realize that the United States Navy is still short many thousands of men to properly man the ships now building to be ready for active war service the latter part of this year? The navy needs real men—red-blooded Americans who are willing to do their bit for good old U. S. A. as did the men and boys of 1776 and 1881. Are you going to sit tight and "let George do it," and in the future be ashamed to answer your children and grandchildren when they say, what did you do during the great war? Or are you going to be in a position that Daddy was a navy volunteer, fought for the troops of ours and helped to make the blessings of liberty secure for ourselves and our posterity, and also helped save some of the starving mothers and children of Europe?" now is the time for you to step forward and volunteer for the navy always found ready when needed by your Uncle Sam. Men of the type of Farragut, Dewey, Lawrence, Perry and Nathan Hale are wanted. There will be of them in this city who will "make history" when they finally volunteer. The Navy has never been found wanting when the nation needed men. Volunteer now, write or telegraph Navy Recruiting Station, Minneapolis.

It is a patriotic duty, therefore, at this time, to keep the home and the home life up to the highest point of efficiency. No home can do its best without a piano.
