VERILY, LYNCH LAW MUST GO. During this week two colored mer have been lynehed for no other rea son than that they were not white One, Charles Lewis, was a discharged soldier who had risked his life in the interest of “world-wide democracy.’ He was charged with beating a dep uty sheriff who attempted to arrest him in Hickman, Ky. The other, Wil lis Robinson, had shot and killed an officer who attempted to arrest him Robinson was in the jail, but the mot took him from the jail and hung him Both of these men were obeying “the first law of nature—self protection,” and but for the fact that they were not white would have been tried by a jury of their peers. Now, what will be done with those mob murderers? ‘This is a condition that should re- ceive serious consideration at the “Peace Table.” EDITORIAL THE PRICE OF LIBERTY: In addition to costing eternal vigi- lance, liberty must be paid for in cold cash, It takes material aid in the “eoin of the realm” entailed by fight for freedom. A group of colored men met in Washington this week for the purpose of electing representatives to go tc Paris, be near the peace conference at Versailles and lobby for liberty. Their especial business is to work for the abolition of the color line in all the world. One cent from each colored adult in the United States would form a fund of $60,000 or $70,000, but it Is imposst ble to collect such a fund so the ex penses of the envoys must be paid by the few. THE APPEAL wired the Washing ton meeting that it would pledge the payment of $5.00 each month during the peace conference (five months) provided those selected have clear records for manliness and their in stritctions are correct. THE APPEAL reserves the right to object to any man who is not up to the standard for manliness and backbone. I would be doubly damnable to have men go abroad and misrepresent the aims of the group in this country COLORED PEACE ENVOYS Eleven Peace Commissioners Elected to Go to Versailles to Pro- test Against Color Line. Special to The Appeal. ‘Washington, D. C., Dee. 20—The National Colored Cehgress for World Democracy, which closed sessions here today’ under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League, elected eleven peace commissioners to go to Versailles and present a petition for “abolition of all undemocratic restrictions” against the race.

Asks Editor of THE APPEAL in an Appeal Wired to President Wilson on the Eve of His Departure for Peace Table. Calls Color Line Greater Menace to Permanent World Peace Than Hun Militarism Just Overthrown. Asks President to Aid the Oppressed of All Nations, Races, Colors, Creeds and Sex in Realizing Liberty, Fraternity and Equality. Saint Paul, Minn., Dec. 2, 1918 To the President, White House, Washington, D. C. Sir: Now that the world war is over and military autocracy has been doomed I appeal to you as the representative of the United States at the Peac Table, to demand the abolition of that greater menace to the peace of the world, THE AUTOCRACY OF COLOR. Through the centuries the colored races of the globe have been subjected to the most unjust and inhuman treat ment by the so-called white peoples Every atrocity which the Huns have inflicted on the helpless white peoples of the world during the four years of war now ending, has been suffered by the colored peoples of the world for more than four hundred years, In the recent war the colored races have furnished as many men as the white races have supplied, if the labor and fighting units are both counted, and now that victory has been won, it is but just that the color line which has hampered the progress of the col ‘ored peoples, should be abolished at once. Not only that, but the op pressed of the white race should be delivered’ from oppression. Mr. President, I shall endeavor tc outline a program which should mee the approval of every believer in worlk democracy: 1, Home rule for Ireland.’ 2! Home rule for India. 3. Home rule for all colonies whict desire it. 4. Self-determination for the peopl of all countries, in which the peopl are practically all of one race or na tionality and yet dominated and op pressed by a few of a different-race o1 nationality. 5. The former German colonies t¢ become republics under the protectior of the League of Nations. ‘These peo ple are as capable of self-government as the people of Russia, Germany, Tur key, or the Balkan States. which stands for the absolute abroga- tion of the color line. It is not likely that the colored men will be admitted to the conference but their protests, if any are needed, may be made through others and may prove effective. We have not heard from the Wash- ington meeting and do not know what was done, but a delegation of able, honest American colored men, with- out any jimcrowism in their make-up may be able to accomplish much good. A JIMCROW BISHOP. ‘Some reverend colored man was re cently made a suffragan bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church. A suf fragan is simply an assistant bishop and he can only assist the presiding bishop of the diocese by doing what he is ordered to do, and in this par ‘ticular case, only among the particu lar class of people he is ordered to serve. Thus he is a segregated rub- ber stamp who must follow the whims and caprices of his master, the white bishop, and he has no vote in the con- ‘vention. For many years some jimerow Epis- copal ministers have endeavored to have a jimerow bishop appointed. The intelligent colored people were op- posed to it and protested to the Gen- ‘eral Convention of the Church against the infamy of a color line in the church of God. ‘The plan was thwarted for a while, but when @ jimerow “negro” makes up ‘his mind to do something which will lower himself and his race in the eyes of the public, he can invariably count on the assistance of his white friends (2), who will go the limit to aid him. Finally the jimerow won and it was decided that jimerowism was the proper thing. One of the jobs was offered to Rev. James 8, Rus- sell of Virginia, but he declined to be a segregated bishop. Some papers are boasting about the THE MAN WHO DARES IT honor the man who in the cc entious discharge of his duty dar stand alone; the world, with ignc intolerant judgment, may cond the countenances of relatives mz averted, and the hearts of friends cold, but the sense of duty done be_sweeter than the applause o world, the countenances of relatix IT honor the man who in the consci- entious 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. 8. the abrogation of the “White Australia” legislation and the ac knowledgment of the right of all peo ples to acquire citizenship. 7. The repeal by the United States of all antioriental immigration laws and the acknowledgment of the right of Japanese and Chinese and Malays to become citizens. 8. The repeal of all United State: Jaws classing certain Indians as non citizens, all people of American Indian blood to be immediately recognized as American citizens. 9. The repeal of all laws of the United States, or of any state, in which the words colored, African, Afro-Amer. ican, Negro, Mulatto, Indian, Japanese or Chinese are used for the purpose tc making discriminations against the people of any race, nationality, class or creed, and the immediate abroga. tion of any color line restrictions en. forced without warrant of law. 10, The nations comprising _ the League of Nations to be forbidden to enact any legislation which in any way discriminates against the people of the Caucasian, Mongolian, African, Indian, and Malay races, or against ‘any na tionality, religious creed or sex. 11.

ADAMS, Editor The Appeal matter but it is nothing to be proud fee etna eae man who accepted the place ought tc moons eon hay ETERNAL VIGILANCE. ‘The meeting of the Colored Liberty Congress at Washington, D. C., this ‘week brings to mind the old adage, “Bternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty.” Many people seem to have forgotten this old and trite saying. ‘The colored people who are not only surrounded by enemies who are try- ing to undo them and filch from them their rights as Americans, should re- member that there is a far more sini ster and unprincipled foe within. It is the foe within whicti is more dangerous than the foe without, whose moves are usually open and above board. On the contrary the foe within is a rank coward, a lickspittle and a sneak, and often spreads his poison when no one of the race is near. A large number of the “negroes” as they almost invariably call them- selves, who solicit money for segre- gated schools and other institutions are traitors of’ the deepest dye. Ad- mitted, grinning, to the private office of some white philanthropist, in order to reach his pocket-book, they belittle the colored people and tell him that the race favors segregation. For every dollar they collect a thousand dollars’ worth of harm is done. It is well for colored men and women to meet publicly often and pro- test against the many wrongs they are forced to endure, and give the lie to the vermin who do so much to in- jure the race. And while watching the enemy with- out and protesting against discrimi- nations, Keep an eye on the enemy within “and denounce his nefarious work. : Remember, “Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty.” QUEER WORLD THIS. After more than a hundred years of dismemberment, during which time the Poles have been Subjected to op- pression in its varied forms by Ger- many, Austria and Russia, the people are to be reunited as a free Polish ne. tion and thelr independence has been recognized by the allies. After all they have suffered for more than a: century is it not strange tc note that they celebrated their new found freedom with a great pogrom or massacre of the Jews when the} captured Lembery. ‘The Associated Press correspondent sent the following in reference to the brutal massacre: | “Immediately upon entering th city the Poles proceeded to sack an¢ burn the Ghetto district, whose vic tims numbered several thousand. Thi streets were filled with the charrec bodies of murdered Jews, many 0 whom, in the frenzy of despair, ha leaped from the burning buildings which were surrounded by Polis! troops.” AND THE WAR 18 OVER! Now that fighting has ceased and war is practically at an end, the report comes that R. W. Tyler, colored war correspondent has arrived at the front. And again, Col. Charles Young has been assigned to Camp Grant, nea Rockford, Ill, to take command of a “colored development battalion.” It seems that the “gentlemen of the mini mum” got what they asked for. Relative to Col. Young, the follow. ing order of the War Department is in- teresting reading: The first move to demobilize the army will be the discharge of devel opment battalions in all camps in this country. The development units are composed of drafted men who did not meet physical requirements or who needed special drill or discipline to bring them into full military value. ‘There are about 50,000 of these troops, and their honorable discharge will come as soon as they receive the physical examination required before a man is discharged. EXTINCTION OF THE HYPHEN. A suggestion has been made in the Mail Bag which the Dispatch and Pioneer Presa wish to extend to its Umit and then unqualifiedly approve Tt applies to the absolute abolish ‘ment of the hyphen, in its racial sense, henceforward and forever. I the war has done anything, it ha: made us all Americans, 100 per cent test. It has left the hyphen extinct Hereafter there is, in our American ism, no room for dilution or limita tion, The new order of things in cludes all possible combinations o hyphenism and is not limited to the nationalities over which we’ have scored a victory in the name of lib erty. It takes in friend and foe alike A man can. be no more an Anglo American of a Franco-American thar @ German-American. In our patriotic lexicon there is no hyphen. When a man is born an American or becomes one of his free will through the pro cess of law he {s at the end and the summit. We amplify this suggestion by our Mail Bag friends and give i our cordial indorsement. The foregoig excerpt from the St Paul Pioneer-Press has our hearty ap Proval and wo beg to add that the Afro ought to be taken out of the Afro-American and the Negro out of the Negro-American. The war for de- mocracy has been fought and won, let us all now be just—AMERICANS. PORTO RICANS WANT SELF-RULE A memorial to President Wilson ask ing complete self government fo Porto Rico le up ta the Foro Rica House of Representatives and is being discussed. It says in part: “Porto” Rican soldiers cheerfully and bravely left their homes to fight for democracy. Our culture, our civil faation and the pride of our gloriou race oblige us to decline to accept as legitimate a government that does not spring from our own will.” ‘The great trouble seems to be the color-line which has been forced on the Porto Ricans by the U. 8. Govern. ment, When Porto Rico was a Span ish colony there was no line based on color, With American domination came the Southern officials who did not fail to bring along their hobby of color discrimination and they have been working over time on it ever sinc. = ¢ ee ISN’T IT AMUSING? ‘The Alabama Methodist Conference at Mobile, Alabama, has called on Président Wilson to summon an inter- national conference to investigate the condition of the Jews in the nations of Europe and to take steps to stop age long persecution. Right there at home in Alabama Pogroms are in evidence at almost any time. Hundreds of innocent colored men have been ~ tortured, burned at the stake or mob murdered in some other way, but the ‘hypo- critical Methodists have not been able to see those atrocities, or having seen them, history does not record that they have ever made protests. Raising their eyes high above the outrages committed by alleged Chris- tians on real Christians in Alabama, the psalm singers have the nerve to look 4,000 miles across the sea and protest against persecutions in other lands. ‘The Southern Caucasian Christian is a queer bird. THE WAR IS ENDED—BUT— The war is over; peace reigns on earth. But in Europe today there are more than 2,000,000 American soldiers, who took en important part in bringing the war to a victorious end, and these men must be fed and clothed for a long while to come, It is estimated by the War Department ‘that the cost of equipping and main- taining an American soldier in Europe is $423.27 @ year. ‘The American army was transported to France at the rate of 250,000 men @ month by giving them first call on the shipping facilities of the United States. It they could be brought back to their homes thus speedily—and #t is doubtful that they could—it would require at least eight months. It is obvious, therefore, that we must con- tinue to raise money with which to maintain our army abroad, “We are going to have to finance peace for a while,” said Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, “just as we ‘have had to finance war.” —— Keep your nine-enths, lend Uncle Sam one-tenth of your December in. come.

Let It Stop at That. A white Christmas is well enough, out it need not embroider its benefac tions by adding frostbitten toes, UNDER THE MISTLETOE, Ah mm re NS, m : we F- ‘Dd FI SS) The Christmas Spirit and under the spur of con- servation pleas wrongly un- derstood, there is danger this year that something of the Christmas spirit will be ost, Never before has it been more amportant that it should not be. The Shristmas spirit as well as civilization and liberty must be saved. The world is in the midst of a war that is wrench- ing men’s hearts; a nation that has made peace its emblem is throwing it- self and every resource into the con- flict; on all sides sons have parted from mothers and fathers; news of casualties is being received, Under such circumstances it might be natural for the weak to yield to depression. This must not be. There is a brave and cheery side to the picture, which must be kept constantly in our hearts and minds. Preserving and accelerating the Christmas spirit of other years will help do this; omission of the usual acts of kindness and generosity will add needlessly to the depression that all are trying to drive from them. Hearts were never in greater need of cheering than this year, Nor was there ever greater need for an outlet of the spirit of kindness and generos- ity in man, We are engaged in the un- pleasant business of bringing to her senses by force a brutal government. ‘That is the task of the hour. . But it should not be permitted to blind our eyes to the things wholly of the spirit, to dull sensibilities into disregard of obligations less pressingly important, but equally essential to the preserva- tion of the finest type of American manhood and womanhood. That 1s why charities in war times should be more generously supported than in days of peace; why this Christmas should be made, if possible, cheerier and happier than any Christmas that has gone before. ‘There are some people who cannot afford to observe this Christmas as they have observed it in years pre- ceding. There are others who can bet- ter afford to be generous than ever. All should give in proportion, There is no reason why they should not, and every reason why they should. Not to do so will be unpatriotic and selfish. —_—_—__—_—_—_—_—__ ————————————— IGHTING has ceased, but our war work is not done F until peace is permanently established, the war bills have been paid, our army is brought back home and demobilized and industry readjusted to normal con- ditions.

Dr. Val Do Turner had as a dinner guest at the Floros Cafe the other day, Mr. Iver Stumne, who lives on the shore of Lake Pokegama, four miles from Pine City, Minn., in which neighborhood Dr. Turner's farm and summer residence is located. At the dinner Mr. Stumne told a remarkable story as follows: Some years ago he bought his little farm, and year after year he sought to find pearls in the clam shells that lined the sands of the lake shore, but without success. His farm was mortgaged for $1,400, and as he was unable to pay it off, the mortgage was about to be foreclosed. This fact weighed quite heavily from mind of Mr. Stumne, and he was nearly ready to usurp two days before the day for the fourth Mr. Stumne had a dream in which he found a pearl that he sold for $1,600. So impressed was Mr. Stumne with the dream that he rose early the next morning and took his boys to the lake shore and they gathered several baskets of clams, and when they proceeded to open them the second clam opened was found to contain the pearl he had seen in his dream, and a pearl buyer actually paid him $1,600 for it. He took the check to the bank and immediately satisfied the mortgagee and has prospered ever since, and, is now negotiating for the purchase of 120 acres of land adjoining his. This is a strange but true story, and is vouchered for by several persons who know the facts. Verily truth is stranger than fiction. ST. PAUL B. C. COLEMAN TBL.
