CRIME AGAINST CIVILIZATION. In the opinion of THE APPEAL, the strongest article denouncing the East Saint Louis massacre was an editorial published in the Christian Register of Boston, Mass. The Register is the leading Unitarian paper published in the United States and perhaps that accounts for the article. The Unitarian church is one of the few Christian denominations in America in which there is no color line. The orthodox Christian sects in America are so filled with prejudice that the ruthless massacre of helpless men, women and children fails to bring out a protest. The article from the Christian Register, which follows, is not so long as some of the articles which have appeared in the daily papers, but it is evidently the most sincere which THE APPEAL has seen: The hideous outrage against law and humanity in East St. Louis, Ill., makes us turn again from the barbarities of war to the ferocities of peace, from crimes against civilization abroad to crimes against civilization at home. The testimony of eye witnesses shows that nothing is to be learned among white people of this city from the cruelties and brutalities of foreign conquest. No tribes of any name or time have ever outdone the white men and women who burned colored men, women and children the other day in this American city. Nothing more revolting was ever charged against Negroes than was done by these white people. The organization of the manhood of the nation for the protection of human life and liberty on the seas and for the deliverance of democracy in the world will be needed at home after its task abroad is done. While our fellow-creatures in the United States are hunted and tortured as if they were wild beasts, government can scarcely be called democratic. So long as colored people are proscribed, discriminated against, segregated and despised, ill-will and antipathy will furnish fertilizers of hatred and murder. PATRIOTIC MID-YEAR EDITION. This issue is the Patriotic Mid-Year Edition of THE APPEAL. THE APPEAL is an American news- J. REFUSES TO BE JIMCROW BISHOP. Rev. James S. Russell of Lawrenceville, Va., Recently Appointed Suffragan or Jim Crow Bishop, for Several of the Southern States, Has Declined the Honor (?) paper 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. hearts; God help us. “There is far more danger to the republic from race hatred within our borders than from all the Germans put together. “Christian citizens of Chicago, think this thing through. Try to make up your mind beforehand what you will do and say when the earthquake and the volcano shall be around you. Our country is in dire need of clear head and stout hearts—Christian hearts both within and without.” DEMOCRACY WILL GAIN. Prof. Charles E. Merriam in an article on the “War for Freedom,” as 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. WARNS AGAINST RACIAL HATRED. It is so unusual for a Christian minister to preach against racial hatred that THE APPEAL is pleased to note that one minister has the courage of his convictions. In his sermon last Sunday, Rev. H. E. Peabody, pastor of the South Congregational Church, in Chicago, said that racial hatred within the United States is more dangerous than all Germans outside this country. Dr. Peabody likened the East St. Louis massacre to the "atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia." "The country's perils are not all on the sea and beyond," said Dr. Peabody. "Think of the moral earthquake and volcano that has burst in the midst of the land, in our own state, since last we met. "Who would have believed that a massacre that reminds one of St. Bartholomew's night and of the atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia, could occur among our own fellow-citizens in East St. Louis?" "But, beware! The peril is nearer than that. The mutterings of the volcano are felt in Chicago. The single explosion is not the most significant thing. The race prejudice, contempt and hatred, working—working beneath—these are the hell below—and no one else can amuse them any easier." I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. hearts; God help us. "There is far more danger to the republic from race hatred within our borders than from all the Germans put together. "Christian citizens of Chicago, think this thing through. Try to make up your mind beforehand what you will do and say when the earthquake and the volcano shall be around you. Our country is in dire need of clear heads and stout hearts—Christian hearts, both within and without." 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: "Since the outbreak of the war democracy has achieved important successes, the significance of which may well be carefully weighed. "First in importance comes the overthrow of the Russian autocracy, and the substitution of democracy. Even the most optimistic friends, of free government had not dared to hope for so swift and sweeping a victory as has actually been won. "In England labor has been recognized in the coalition cabinet, and upon all great industrial questions has been brought into close co-operation with the government. 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 gallers 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. Charles Edward Russell, a member of the American Commission to Russia, appeals to the American people to help Russia build a republic. Perhaps in the years to come when the Russian republic has been built, some Defective Page great Russian will aid the establishment in America a republic which knows neither race, creed nor color. The National Evangelistic Alliance of America has appealed to President Wilson that flags on public buildings be at half-mast on Sunday, July 29th, in memory of persons who lost their lives in the East St. Louis riots. More than 40,000 men are yet needed to fill U. S. Army ranks in the volunteer army. Colored men are not permitted to enlist and must wait for the draft. THE ILLINOIS HORROR Ashamed to Register From East St. Louis. (Chicago Daily American.) W. R. Neal is manager of a hotel in East St. Louis, Ill. Today when he registered at the Congress Hotel he gave his address as St. Louis, Mo "I'm ashamed to say I came from East St. Louis." he told the clerk. Brought Distance on Lincoln's State (From the Chicago Daily News.) Mob frenzy displayed in some of its most dreadful forms in East St. Louis yesterday has brought disgrace and just reproach upon the state of Abraham Lincoln. The Most Disgraceful Outbreak. (From the Chicago Journal.) The East St. Louis affair is the most disastrous and disgraceful outbreak the state has known for a generation; perhaps the worst it has ever known; perhaps the worst it has ever known; perhaps the worst it has ever known of a foreign war and on the eve of Independence Day makes it still more ominous. The Law Itself on Trial. (From the Chicago Herald) East St. Louis, III, the law itself are all on trial until this grim, terrible business is settled and settled rightly. Failure of justice means a vicious precedent that will plague the commonwealth for years to come. When the issue of law or anarchy is presented as plainly as in the orgy at East St. Louis there should be but one answer. The Shame of Illinois. (John T. Chicago Tribune). The riot at East St. Louis is one of the worst blots on the good name of an American community in our whole history. Illinois law now heals in shame before this disgrace. We have no excuse. There can be no excuse for such a break down of the most primitive safeguards of civil government, for such betrayal of the first duty of ordered society. Will Sue for Damages. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with former Judge Edward Osgood Brown of the appellate court president of the local chapter, is planning to institute suits under the Illinois statutes against the city of East St. Louis and St. Clair county for personal damages on behalf of the dependents of the Negro men and women who died at the hands of the incensed mobs in the orgy of murder and arson several days ago, the statutes, the dependents have actioned against the city and the county for damages to the property, life and limb, the judgments to be ceed $5,000 in each case. This may mean suits for nearly $1,000,000 when the final loss of the scores killed, the hundreds injured and the many homes destroyed is recorded. The Illinois Massacre. (From the Chicago Evening Post.) "In ouhah town we don't let a nigga get off the train long enough to brush youach coat, not even if he's a potah on a Pullman." The account tells you this in just these accounts in some of the southern towns of Illinois. And it was from these towns that the militiamen came to "maintain order in East St. Louis." This is the whole story of the failure of the militia in the worst race riot that has disgraced Illinois since Lovejoy was martyrred. Troops from Northern Illinois should have sent into East St. Louis; troops from Illinois should not have been sent there. For the light zone of the Mason and Dixon line cuts across the central and southern portions of the state. Greatest Disgrace to State "I feel very strongly on the subject," said Judge Brown today. "In my opinion it is the greatest disgrace upon the name of the state of Illinois yet recorded. I'm very indignant. Our organization is watching the proceedings there, but we are waiting for the reports of the various investigations. I do not want to appear to criticize any one at this time. - We have faith in Governor Lowden unearthing all the facts. At a meeting to be held in the near future we will decide what step to take." The society will prosecute suits for damage against the city and county for each Negro killed or injured," said Dr. Charles E. Bentley, district at 25 East Washington street. "The utes are clear on the subject. We will go after the sheriff also if the facts prove our beliefs. "We are so astonished we can hardly express our feelings. It is most outrageous." Worse Than Belgium. New York, July 3—"Swift and severe punishment" for the East St. Louis mobs was demanded by the Socialist leader, William English Waller, in a telegram to President Wilson today. Such punishment is necessary, Waller said, because "of the dangerous effect of race riots in America on revolutionary Russia, South America and Japan." Walling characterized the uprising as the result of German agents' efforts to stab him in the back. American troops at home and partly the result of an attempt by the Southern states to keep the Negro under their thumb. Speaking as a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Walling, in his telegram, said: "The international and military situa tion, calls for immediate action. There must be swift and severe punishment for the mob. But this will not suffice. There should be an immediate presidential proclamation in the present military exigency that the full military power of the nation will be used in defense of the lives and liberty of our colored fellow citizens." LET AGITATION GO ON, SAY8 REV. F. J. GRIMKE. Commends Protest by Guardian and Planet—Race Will Protest Till White America Accords the Rights Which Belong to Every American Citizen —Steady Decline of Rights Under B. T. Washington Policy. (From the Boston Guardian.) Washington, D. C. June 1, 1917. Dear Mr. Trotter: I have just read in the last issue of the Guardian your editorial, including the editorial of Mr. John Mitchell of the Planet, in which he administers a very just and timely rebuke to Dr. Frissell for some things which he says in the last issue of the Southern Workman. Rights Declined Under Washington. It is amazing that at this late day, and after the STEADY DECLINE OF OUR RIGHTS UNDER MAR. WASHINGTON'S POLICY of "quiet, unpretentious service," that DF. Frissell should be attempting to revive that pernicious, un-American, unmany, heresy of quiet submission to wrong. What God directed his prophet to do? Cyrus aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and the house of Jesus their sins." And that is what we have been doing, and will continue to do, until White America heeds the message, turns from its evil ways and accords to the colored man the rights which justly belongs to him as much as to any other American citizen. Let Frissell Understand Once and for All Time. Dr. Frissell had just as well understand now, once for all, that the policy for which he stands, as regards our rights, will never be accepted by the colored man. And the inculcation of such a policy comes with very little white men who never think of following it when their own rights are involved. Think Colored Unlike Whites. It is because, after all, they think that the Negro is made of a little different clay, and therefore that it is fair for HIM TO QUETILY SUBMIT TO WHITE MEN WOULD NOT BE EXPRESSED TO SUBMIT TO. AND, WOULD NOT SUBMIT TO WITHOUT THE MOST VIGOROUS PROTEST? Put Themselves In Our Place Put themselves in Our Place. If some of our white friends would put themselves in the place of the colored man and realize that there is no essential difference between the colored man and themselfs, they would be saved from some of the foolish things which they recommend at times. Let the Agitation Go On. Let the Planet, let the Guardian, let all the colored newspapers, continue to speak out, and, in every other legitimate way, LET THE AGITATION GO ON. It is in vain for Dr. Frissell, or any one else to try to stop it. Yours for equality of rights for all citizens, regardless of race or condi- FRANCIS J. GRIMKE. 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 person one per cent of the colored people in American can trace their descent to Africa; and there is no more right to call a black people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. Mad Savagery (Springfield Republican) While we are so critical of the nations known as our enemies it is morally disconcerting to have staged in America such mad savagery as the latest burning to death of a colored man by a mob in Tennessee. The man, who was clearly guilty, it seems, of the man's murder of a white girl, but retaliation in flendishness gets us nowhere in the clash or even punishing a criminal class. When race feeling is involved it is impossible to conceive of anything so disastrous in its ultimate effects as the treatment which mobs occasionally give to these black men. At a time when Americans need to show respect for mass discipline and respect for authority, we are forced to contemplate these hideous spectacles of mass brutishness and social anarchy. "Negroes 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 no blamed nor censured* for leaving 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 us. As a red flag to float into the face of the enemy 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 what else out there, but we do know we are anywhere near there we are near us with a wap and broom. Space must be the boy of the Colored race in the school for which we are paying taxes. The Eternal Gospel (From the Martinsville Pioneer-Press) We have no respect for a servile, cringing colored man. He is of more service to his people under the sod than on top of it.-Richmond (Ya) Planet. That is our eternal gospel, preach it in the valleys and on the mountain tops. Not Consistent (Baltimore (Md.) Commonwealth) President Wilson cannot consistently contend for liberty, equality and justice for Belgians, Russians, Poles, French, English and Teutons without conceding justice, liberty and equality to ALL citizens of his own country.

WITH 'MARKED CARDS" In Its Army of Democracy U. S. A. 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 Cards." 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 gives his name to that piece of pasketball uniform has disposed 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 against America. Its men have been in the war, and wherever 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. I am Tim Crow grip of the South has grown firmer. And NOW A JIM CROW REGISTRATION. Race and color in our "Army of De mocracy." If we were to define democracy as applied to the army of a democratic nation, we should picture men of all races and all creeds grouped together in equality. A white millionaire's son might share a tent with a Negro and a white man. 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 demotion or custody must later deny the distinction.

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 singing that pulsated with earnest enthusiasm for the slogan, "A share in the world democracy for which our 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 such a largely attended annual meeting, successful in spirit and in work. Editor Trotter was again reelected president. Boston extended a royal welcome and the League's president 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."

The Color Line in the Catholic Church. (From the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La.) There are two hundred thousand colored Catholics in the United States according to Walter F. McEntire, a prominent Catholic, who in telling of the orders and societies of men and women working among color people in the United States, among other things says in the Tidings, of Los Angeles: "He knows no color-line in the House of God and a 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 colored constituency of America, and only religious body in America that for its constitutency a white ministry. 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. Joseph Church, New Orleans, a few seats in the year 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 major Boston are trying to find out why Tews are refused enlistment in that state's field artillery and in the first coast artillery. Also, American 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 When meat was 150 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 suppress lynching and lawlessness, he will districts, pay the colored man living wages, give him a square deal on the farm wages, open the doors of the shops and stores to his prowess, and let him in labor unions, municipal ordinances (to keep colored men from leaving the South) will be unnecessary. Worse to Ask for Jim Crow We agree with the editor of the N. Y. News: It is bad enough to have segregated, (or "jim crow") military training camps FORCED on us by the government, but infinitely worse to ASK for' them.

If there ever was any doubt in the mind of one any about the high esteem in which Mr. Samuel L. Ransom is held by his fellow townmen, he was dispelled like mist before a summer sun on last Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the splendid banquet that was given in the honor of that "soldier and a man" at Union Hall. It is generalized, known, Mr. Ransom went to a hotel to engage a few weeks ago and joined the famous Eighth regiment. He returned to St. Paul last week to arrange for his departure to the front and a number of his friends who thought it fitting to show their appreciation of "the most popular man in town," headed by Mr. M. A. Bolling, ordered him a farewell banquet, as before. One of the lodge rooms on the third floor of the hall was the scene of the splendid affair. The table, in the shape of a Roman cross, was beautifully loaded with edibles. There was no piece de resistance, but there was a tempting array including sliced ham, potato salad, potato soup, brown bread, white bread, pumpernickle, wehers, cheese, radishes, watermelon, coffee, punch, cigars. When the guest of honor arrived after all the others had taken their S. L. RANSOM places at the table, they stood as he and sang "He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Mr. Earl C. Walker had been selected as toastmaster, but was unable to be present, and his place was ably filled by Mr. M. A. Bolling, who called on O. C. Hall to tell why they were there. Then followed speakers who belonged to Ransom as a clubman, his bhooded man as a character, as a citizen, a soldier, an athlete, a man, all around good fellow and last but not least as a Christian. The speakers who elogized the honored guest were G. W. Stewart E. A. Hatton, Dr. J. R. French, W. T. Francis, Esq. Dr. O. D. Howard. A. V. Hall, J. Dr. O. D. James, Pau Cranse, S. R. Harris, W. M. Pryor, Paul Simpson, M. N. Pryor, Herman Cotton, W. M. D. Smith, H. G. Johnson, J. H. Thurston, Lee Barber. Mr. Ransom fittingly responded and after singing "Blest the Bie that Binds" and "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," the guests departed. This "feast of reason and flow of soul" Murphy, O. Turner, L. Cotton, J. Wilson, W. Benjamin, E. Jackson, J. Clayborne, Walter Goins. J. H. Dillingham, O. Wilson, J. H. Charleston, L. Thompson, Walker Williams, J. Clark, J. Johnson, T. V. D. Turner, D. Dyer, Dr. H. Hall, F. D. McCracken, T. R. Morgan, Great Oliver, J. Hatton, T. H. Lyles, J. Brown, B. C. Archer, A. Allen, J. Green, J. H. Echols, C. Harris, J. Q. Adams. During the banquet all present signed the following: Protest and Petition. To the President of the United States, The Senate Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on the Judiciary: I am an American citizen of full age and no accountability, and do here and now, over my own signature, most solemnly perpetrated upon other American citizens in East St. Louis, Ill., July 2, 1917, and petition you to comply with the request made by Congressman L. C. Dyer in H. J. Res. 118, as speedily as possible. Wednesday Mr. S. L. Ransom was presented a soldier's silver wrist watch bearing the inscription, "From John Jackson and Sherman Finch to S. L. Ransom." Yesterday at the Minnesota Club, during the dinner hour while the dining room was filled the president of the chamber was Jon Jackson on behalf of the members of the club, whom he had served so well for years, presented as a token of their esteem a purse of $550.00 to Mr. Ransom. Mr. Ransom responded feelingly and appropriately. And it is safe to say that, in view of the fact, though a bachelor, the recipient, who neither drinks, smokes nor chews and in really has no bad habits, the money will not be wasted in riotous living. The occasion was quite noteworthy as never before in the history of the city has anything like it occured. Mr. Ransom will leave today for his post of duty and his head will not be swelled on account of the encomiums heaped upon him. All wish him bon voyage and a safe return. THINKING OF PAINTING?

A telephone line may be "busy" because— 1. Someone may be using the telephone called. 2. Another person on the party-line called may be using his telephone. 3. You may have called the wrong number. 4. Some one else may be trying to get the line at the same time you are. Be slow to blame the operators. If the public did their part in telephoning as well as the operators, there would be few complaints about telephone service. BEST BUILT 1900 MRB. ROBERT A.
