BURGHARDT DU BOIS I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgme the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than t world, the counten the hearts of friend A LITANY OF ATLANTA. 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. In September, 1906, there was a brutal massacre of colored people at Atlanta, Georgia. Scores of colored men, women and children were murdered because of their color. Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois wrote the story of the massacre in the form of a litany which appeared in the New York Independent shortly after its occurrence. It was "done in the day of death." The recent massacre at East St. Louis so resembles the Atlanta murderfest that we print in this issue Du Bois' "A Litany of Atlanta," by express permission of the New York Independent. 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 A LIT A Litany of Atlanta he voice afar in mint and mystery hath need in these fearful days— : our faces dark with doubt, are made With uplifted hands we front Thy Silent God, Thou whose voice afar in mist and mystery hath left our ears an-hungered in these fearful days— Hear us, good Lord! Listen to us, Thy children: our faces dark with doubt, are made a mockery in Thy sanctuary. With uplifted hands we front Thy heaven, O God, crying: We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! We are not better than our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and human men. When our devils do deviltry, curse Thou the door and the deed: curse them as we curse them, do to them all and more than ever they have done to innocence and weakness, to womanhood and home. We are not better than our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and human men. When our devils do deviltry, curse Thou the doer and the deed; curse them as we curse them, do to them all and more than ever they have done to innocence and weakness, to womanhood and home. Have mercy upon us, miserable sinners! And yet whose is the deeper guilt? Who made these devils? Who nursed them in crime and fed them on injustice? Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public iniquity? Thou knowest, good God! Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guile be easier than innocence, and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty? Justice, O Judge of men! Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead? Have not seers seen in Heaven's halls Thine heaved and lifeless form stark amidst the black and rolling smoke of sin, where all along bow bitter forms of endless dead? Awake, Thou that sleepest! And yet whose is the deeper guilt? Who made these devils? Who nursed them in crime and fed them on injustice? Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public iniquity? Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guile be easier than innocence, and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty? Justice, O Judge of men! Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead? Have not seers seen in Heaven's halls Thine hearsed and lifeless form stark amidst the black and rolling smoke of sin, where all along bow bitter forms of endless dead? Thou art not dead, but flown afar, up hills of endless light, thru blazing corridors of suns, where worlds do swing of good and gentle men, of women strong and free—far from the cozenage, black hypocrisy and chaste prostitution of this shameful speck of dust!

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. WARNS AGAINST RACIAL 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 they find some lodgment in all our 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 TANY BY DR. W.

Red was the midnight; clang, crack and cry of death and fury filled the air and trembled underneath the stars when church spires pointed silently to Thee. And all this was to sate the greed of greedy men who hide behind the veil of vengeance! Bend us Thine ear, O Lord! In the pale, still morning we looked upon the deed. We stopped our ears and held our leaping hands, but they—did they not wag their heads and leer and cry with bloody jaws: Cease from Crime! The word was mockery, for thus they train a hundred crimes while we do cure one. Turn again our captivity, O Lord! Behold this maimed and broken thing; dear God it was an humble black man who toiled and sweat to save a bit from the pittance paid him. They told him: Work and Rise. He worked. Did this man sin? Nay, but some one told how some one said another did—one whom he had never seen nor known. Yet for that man's crime this man lieth maimed and murdered, his wife naked to shame, his children, to poverty and evil. Hear us, O heavenly Father! Doth not this justice of hell stink in Thy nostrils, O God? How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance? Pife the pale frenzy of blood-crazed brutes who do such deeds high on Thine altar, Jehovah Jireh, and burn it in hell forever and forever! Forgive us, good Lord; we know not what we say! Bewildered we are, and passion-test, mad with the madness of a mobbed and mocked and murdered people; straining at the armposts of Thy Throne, we raise our shackled hands and charge Thee, God, by the bones of our stolen fathers, by the team of our dead mothers, by the very blood of Thy crucified Christ: What meannah this? Tell us the Plan; give us the Sign! the volcano shall be around you. Our country is in dire need of clear heads and stout hearts—Christian hearts, both within and without." 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. --- The Year Book of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America for 1917 states that 747,000 people "joined the church" during the year 1916. Judging by the evidences of Christianity as exemplified by the so-called Christians in the country, "joining the church" is largely a matter of hypocrisy. The people of the United States are further from true Christianity than ever before in the history of the nation. 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 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.

Today when he registered at the Congress Hotel he gave his address as St. Louis, Mo. "I am ashamed to say I came from East St. Louis," he told the clerk. Brought Disgrace on Lincoln's State. (From the Chicago Daily News.) Mob frenzy displayed in some of its most dreadful forms in East St. Louis yesterday 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. That it should waren during the heat of a foreign war and on the eve of Independence Day makes it still more omnious. 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 The riot at East St. Louis is one of the worst mass on the good name of an American community in our whole history. Illinois must on her head 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 men and arson several days ago. Under the statutes, the dependents have action against both the city and the county for damages to property, life and limb, the judgment to exceed $5,000 in each case. This 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 oah town we don't let a niggh get off the train long enough to youshua coat, not even if he's a pallid pillman." They'll tell you this in just these accents 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 martyred. troops from Northern Illinois should have gone to East St. Louis; troops from Southern Illinois should not have been sent then. For the twilight zong of the Mason and Dixon line cuts across the central and southern portions of the state.

There are hundreds thousand colored Catholics in the United States according to Walter F. McEntee, 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: "The Church knows no color-line in the House of God, and any man who tries to any 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 the Catholic Church is the only religious body in America that forces on its constituency a white ministry. Moreover, the color issue is drawn as elsewhere in the Catholic Church as elsewhere. Thus as a time when the Catholic churches colored people to the altars but not in St. Joseph Church, New Orleans, a few seats in the rear are marked rec ANTA IT no longer blind, Lord God, deaf to our prayer and dumb to our dumb suffering.

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

With the possible exception of the entertainment features, which have not yet been completely arranged for, every department of the Minnesota State Fair, to be held September 3 to 8, has reported an increased demand for space and, with the government placing exhibits for the first event every reason to believe that the fair will be the biggest ever held in the country. "All that we are worrying about this year," stated Thomas H. Canfield, Secretary-General Manager, recently, "is the weather. Give us good weather from now until the fair, and especially during the week of the fair, and we will break all records." One of the departments that will far surpass its work of previous years is the School Exhibits Department, of which Howard is superintendent. Recently he issued an appeal for more space, stating that the exhibits already accounted for would more than fill the space allotted to the department. Similar conditions seem to prevail in many of the other departments and the fair managers are very optimistically inclined. Mr. Ray P. Speer, Publicity Manager of the Minnesota State Fair, to be held this year September 3 to 8, is authority for the statement that the government food exhibits and demonstrations will materially add to the attractiveness of the annual fair. This food conservation movement, which he made the chief feature of the State Fair, Mr. Speer, who is a member of Food and Drink Manager Hoover's advisory board, "is bigger than people of the Northwest realize. It is, in fact, the biggest problem the government has ever had to solve and when one realizes that it covers such a broad field and takes in everything we eat and things we wear it is not to see that it is an important work." Practical demonstrations in food conservation will be held daily at the State Fair. These will be under the direction of government experts. DO YOU? Do you believe in fire protection? Do you practice it in your home or place of business? Do you make periodical inspections or visit premises, to make sure that attic, basement, rooms and closets are in good order? Do you have a metal receptacle for rubbish and waste? Do you have metal receptacles for ashes? Do you have your heating plant insulated and the fuses or chimneys cleaned once a year Do you inspect your gas and electric light fixtures and extension cords occasionally? Do you protect your home or place of business with an approved hand extinguisher? Do you keep one on your car? Do you carry insurance? Of course you do.

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. re's the breakfast that makes men smile Golden brown wheat cakes —packed full of nourishment—and TOWLE'S LOG CABIN CANE AND MAPLE SYRUP Log Cabin Syrup not only makes wheat cakes a real treat, but adds nourishment—makes a balanced meal.

CHARLEY MILLER WAS THERE. que The play of "Hamlet" without Hamche let in it would not amount to very at much. Well, that's about the way it rs. was in the account of the Ransom set. banquet last week. The name of Mr. the Charles H. Miller, who more than any one else helped to make the banquet for a success, was not mentioned. Miller, a just as he always is, was "there with P. the goods," and every one who was there knew it. And this correction is af made so that those who were not there er, may know that he was there "with is, both feet." now more than ever is the importance emphasized of crops. A shortage of crops in the United States would less chance for America and her allies to win the war humanity. Every man and boy who is unable to go to enches to fight for his country should do his bit bygging on the farm.
