"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. --- SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1919. COLORED VETERANS ELIGIBLE. Nothing illustrates the status of the colored man in the United States more than the announcement of Henry D. Lindsley, chairman of the national executive committee of the American Legion that colored veterans are eligible to membership. The announcement states further that the composition of local and state organizations will be left to the members themselves. That means that many colored men who have risked their lives in defense of their country will be denied membership in the South and in many parts of the North. And they still say the war was fought for "democracy." THE RACE COMMISSION. THE APPEAL still contends that there is no reason for the existence of the "race commission" appointed by Governor Lowden of Illinois. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided by a unanimous vote that segregation is unlawful, so there is nothing to arbitrate. The editor has talked with several prominent Illinois men this week and the consensus of opinion among them is that the whole thing is a political scheme of Governor Lowden, who is a prospective candidate for president on the Republican ticket in 1920. These men say that since he has been governor of Illinois, Lowden has developed a great prejudice against the colored people. He has taken "jimcrow" colored men into his confidence and his present plan is to get the colored people to consent to their own civil degradation. These Illinois men say that the commission is "packed." The majority of the white men on the same are enemies of the colored people, and the majority of the colored men jimcrowists, that is, men willing to make concessions in their civil rights. THE APPEAL man has been well acquainted with Edward H. Morris, Chicago's famous lawyer, who is one of the commission art can vouch for him as a man who will not concede anything fundamental. He will fight any attempt at segregation to the last ditch. THE APPEAL is only slightly ac- WANTED, A SAMARITAN. Prone in the road he lay.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. quainted with four of the other colored men. One man he has never met. He has often heard three of the colored men described as jimcrow men of the deepest dye. It is said that segregation propositions will be offered by the white members. If such propositions are offered the colored men should stand as a unit against the no matter how trivial they may seem. They must not yield a single point on any question involving segregation of any kind. ASK EQUALITY IN TREATY. William Monroe Trotter of Boston, secretary of the National Equal Rights League, appeared before senate foreign relations committee Thursday representing the organization and asked for two amendments to the Peace Treaty. One provides that in the league of nations covenant the members "vouchsafe to their own citizens the possession of full liberty, rights of democracy and protection of life, without restriction or distinction based on race, color, creed or previous conditions." The other adds a similar guarantee as a separate section of the treaty. Such amendments are all right. An amendment to give the United States a mandatory over the Kamerun, a German colony in Africa, was requested by Joseph T. Thomas, a colored man of Cleveland, Ohio, representing the national race congress. American colored men, he said, could be recruited to police the territory under white officers. Such an amendment is all wrong because the United States has given justice to the colored peoples already within its borders. A petition that all the African colonies taken from Germany be "divided between Egypt, Abyssinia and Liberia" was filed by the League of Darker Peoples of the World. This amendment would be all right if the word Egypt were stricken out. To give any of the colonies to Egypt would be to turn them over to the tender meries of Great Britain which rules Egypt with an iron hand. KEEP COOL! With the great racial excitement now existing all over the country, it is well for colored people to keep cool. No good can come from incendiary talk. It is rank folly to talk about actual, physical fighting to win the contest for justice in the U. S. A. It would be fultile as the colored people have neither wealth nor guns and are outnumbered five to one. Never be the aggressor but defend yourself if wantonly attacked. The colored people must fight but it must be with the spirit, money and the ballot. Use every legitimate means to create a healthy public opinion and vote for the individual or party guaranteeing protection of life and liberty. WILL DEMAND SATISFACTION John R. Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who was brutally assaulted in Austin, Texas, has issued a statement saying action would be taken to obtain satisfaction for the attack made upon him in Austin, when he went there to advance the interests of his organization. He said he will demand congressional and presidential investigation and appeal to Governor Smith to protect the interests of citizens of New York who visit Texas and to take legal action against the persons who attacked Mr. Shillady. BUSINESS MEN'S MISTAKE. The colored business men's league at St. Louis made a great mistake in electing Robert R. Moton as president of their organization. Moton is not a business man, knows nothing whatever of business and very little of anything else. The clique which maneuvered his election was simply working to impose the sinister power of Tuskegee on colored business men. Moton is not even qualified to be the principal of Tuskegee, because he lacks an important quality which every leader should possess—manhood. When his wife was ejected from a Pullman car a few years ago he practically intimated that it served her right, as he had warned her to "respect the traditions of the South." Imagine a man who will not protect his own wife, as the head of an institution organized "for the training of colored youth!" ONE WAY OUT. It seems that the best means for promoting the welfare of the colored people would be the scattering of colored families all over the country. In communities where there are only a few families there seems to be little or no friction. Trouble seems to be caused by the coming of the masses. An example of this is right here in Minnesota in the town of Bemidji, where there are not more than a dozen colored people. Charles W. Scrutchin a colored man of African ancestry is the leading lawyer, having a good paying practice, his clientele being all white. He has the respect of the entire population and is received everywhere with the same cordial welcome that is given the whitest man in town. There is no race problem in Bemidji. NOT A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY. One Beaureagard Moseley of Chicago, a colored man of local prominence presumably in order to be patted on the back and called a "good negro," in an address at a colored meeting during the riots informed his auditors that, "this is a white man's country." He was promptly rebuked and we trust he'll know better next time. No, this is not a "white man's country." It is true that the white man stole it from the Indians, and also stole some colored men who were free in Africa, brought them over here and made them slaves to work the stolen property. Three hundred years of unrequited toll gives the colored man a better title to the land than the white man's. The colored man knows no other land; he speaks the vernacular of the country; he has fought in every war to preserve its integrity; has has always been loyal though deprived of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The colored people of the United States are not aliens; they were all born here. They are Americans and as Americans have their share in our common country. COWARDLY BISHOP RE We reprint from the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a stalwart and outspoken champion of the colored people, the following rebuke to colorfully colored bishop: BISHOP PHILLIPS WRONG While there is much in Bishop C. H. Phillips' pacifist interview of last Sunday, in the Cleveland News-Leader, to interest the average reader, there is one statement to which about all of the intelligent members of our race will take issue and that is his statement that "the Afro-American does not desire social, political or industrial equality." That is not true, bishop! In this section of the country we want and, in a limited degree, enjoy all three. In the South, our people are asking the last two "Social equality" is a myth. It does not exist among any class (race) of Americans. It is a matter for the individual to settle and he alone settles it in all cases. And many white and colored individuals (families) in this section of the country have long ago settled it to their entire satisfaction and are enjoying the so-called "social equality," and will continue to do so until "the end of the chapter" regardless of the ranting of southernter if not both and the laws of the law, the fundamental law of the land guarantees the latter if not both and the laws of the states are in most cases explicit when it comes to the former. Not only does this race of ours desire them but it demands them and will never rest until they are conceded in every nook and corner of this country of ours. The Afro-American wants and must have everything good every other class (race) enjoys in this country if he is to keep abreast of the times and be able to cope with them in the great struggle of life. In this section of the country, at least, we can stand up and say so—tell the plain unvarnished, truth and should do so. We can be able to cope with good bishop to do so because of his dence in the South and because of the large church interests there he represents, we can understand. However good bishop, please refrain from giving out such interviews here in the country, but we can do so because the contrary have an effect that retards the progress of those of the race in this section of the country. "NEGRESS" IS NAUSEATING. The word "negress" is nauseating and so is the word "negron" when used as a racial designation for the colored people of the United States. FRENCH DEMAND RACE EQUALITY Paris, August—The government was interpelled in the chamber of deputies a few days ago on the rough treatment French colored soldiers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The French government, M. Bois neuf and M. Lagrosilvestre, accused deputies, respectively from Guadeloupe and Martinique. The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: the chamber, faithful to the immortal principles of the rights of man, condemning all prejudices of religion, caste, or race, solemnly affirms the absolute equality of all men, without distinction of race or color, and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The chamber counts upon the government to apologize, and see that the necessary penalties for their infringement are inflicted." Expects an Apolbgy Jules Pams, minister of the interior, replying to the colored deputies, said that the government had applied penalties and asked them not to insist upon a discussion of "the very regretable incidents, as France does not "serve the services rendered" by her colored son. The minister of the interior added that the American government had not hesitated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. "High Diplomacy" Problem. M. Pams asked Deputy Boisneuf for reasons of "high diplomacy" to drop the subject. The deputy said he would not speak of questions that involved diplomacy, but he protested against the complicity of the French authorities in those incidents. He then read a confidential circuit to French officers attached to the American army, setting forth how American opinion did not tolerate "familiarity between whites and blacks." "And it is America that wants a society of nations," interjected Charles Bernard, a deputy from the Seine. "In the French, so sondered Deputy Mayerans (Socialist from the Seine) in reply to M. Bernard. TWENTY-SEVEN SLAIN. Official Figures of Recent Chicago Race Riots. Official figures as to casualties in the recent riots in Chicago have been submitted to City Clerk James Igoe by Chief Garrity for submission to the commission. The report shows that twenty-six citizens and one policeman were killed. There were 291 citizens injured and thirty-nine policemen were wounded. During and immediately after the riots, the police were inculcation. One was to the effect that several hundred had been killed and that the public authorities were concealing the true facts. This resulted in resolutions being introduced in the city council calling upon Chief Garrity to compile an official list of killed and injured. THE LATE RACE RIOTS White Woman Writes Her Personal Experiences in Recent Race Troubles in Washington To the Editor of The Nation: Sir: On Tuesday night, when so many in Ledroit Park feared a mob and a general massacre, and when most white men believed that a white woman who ventured into that section would be literally devoured, I took it my head to go there, and go I did. One was to prove that a white woman could do it; another, because I knew what had been done by the authorities and thought that a little reassurance from a lone and harmless woman might go a good way, for I guessed the most psychological state in that section. First hand what the colored people were doing and thinking. I found out. If I talked to one colored man, I talked to a hundred and fifty. Occasionally I would stop to speak to one I knew; I would accost a group of unknown people in my views. Always and everywhere in me with courtesy and attention. As we talked, men would appear from the shadows—seemingly from the night itself—until there were perhaps twenty of us. Only once did I see a police officer at us curiously, but said nothing. And when we had finished our talk the group would melt into nothingness and I would proceed on my quest. I saw no women at all. And the men—why, those men were not out to "start something." They were armed, most of them, and were quite frackle, not a lot of them, and not a lot of fight. They said they were out to a mob were coming, and, if there were, they were going to barricade themselves; then, if the mob tried to get in, there was trouble ahead. As one put it: "A man would be less as if I did not fight for his family and his home and mind was not primarily fight. It was fear, a perfect hysteria of dreadest, as more than one expressed it, "a new East St. Louis" was at hand. And, with all hysteria, a small occurrence of the frenzy, Dynamite! They were TNT, and again I was asked: "Is a moth gathering on Pennsylvania Avenue? Will they come up, and burn us out? Is the Park cordoned?" For they did not dare go downstreet far enough to see the Over and over, I heard the pathetic question: "Do the white folks care? Does anyone care? Are they really doing anything?" I told them that the best of the whites did care, but that we were helpless. I told them also that afternoon and what they said that there really was military, as well as police, protection. One queer old man remarked: "Well, I reckon some buddy do care, or a white lady could come out to tell us about it." One chained himself, listed; I gave the country my hand; I was ready to give more. When I was in France, I was a man and a soldier, but when I get back here, I'm not a citizen; I'm not a man, even just a big, black brute. It was not a man, even a woman, nor a woman. He spoke like a man with a broken heart. Another said: "he say this is to protect the white women. My father was in charge of a whole plantation and a family of white women. They weren't afraid to leave the white women with us then, and colored men are no different now." Many of them expressed a liking for, and confidence in, the captain of the precinct, and, when a man of one race speaks well of a man of another, during a race riot, that means something. The captain of the colored police, and of the fact that colored men were being dropped from the force and that none had been appointed since 1910. "You know," they said, "that we could talk better to colored police. They would reason with the man who just knock them round. They know what is going on, and they could stop a lot of trouble without arrests. But they don't want to give us a chance." I saw but one noisy Negro, a half-witted and dishevelled-looking fellow, talking loudly and belligerently. Him they know, shook, telling him that if he did not "shut up and get home," he would certainly find things happening to him. Once an excited colored boy came flying on a bicycle with the news that a white mob had formed inside the cordon, and was on its way. "Let's go and see if they are coming, and if they are, we will go home and lock the doors. That's what Captain Doyle said, and he knows what's what." So for a few tense moments, we stood in the doorway, not knowing what might after all be able to come. But all was quiet, and we silently drifted on our ways. And thus it went for two hours. I met them—not savages, not red-handed murderers, but citizens, hunted and terrified, looking more or less hopelessly to their Government for that murder, that for the death of brotherhood, and cut to the very heart. I thought of Belgium. I remembered that my country stands abroad for liberty, justice, and the rights of men, though she has them not at home. How blind we are, we Anno-Saxons, who talk of Freedom and justice, and we are still I hope and dunly see a dawn—red, it is true, but still a far off dawn. A white man once said to me: "You talk like a Negro. You seem at times to identify yourself with them. Have you lost your race consciousness?" I said, "I like them to show you how they feel. I hope I always lose race consciousness when it stands in the way of my consciousness of common humanity." Then he said a queer thing: "I do not know whether you are mad or in danger to Serbia, but I believe my duty is here. I believe that our country needs all of us who are standing along the color line. I am ready to do anything possible, to whatever limit. If you, to whom I look as a leader in this situation, should ever need my services, I am afraid, not with the glare of the destroying torch, but with the steady, incandescent glow which cannot be extinguished.

In making public the names of his appointee, the governor issued the following statement: "I have been requested by many citizens and by many civil organizations in Chicago to appoint a commission to report upon the recent race riots in report, and upon the broad question of the relations between the two races. "Those riots were the work of the worst element of both races. They did not represent the great overwhelming majority of either race. The two races are here and will remain the same. Each realizes the necessity of their upon terms of cordial good-will and respect, each for the other. That condition must be brought about. Must Solve Problem. "To say that we can not solve this problem is to confess the failure of self-government. I offer no solution of the problem. I do know, however, that the question can not be answered by mob violence. I do know that even a well-organized, take the law into their own hands, instead of helping they only postpone the settlement of the question. When we admit the existence of a problem and courageously face it, we have gone halfway toward its solution. "I have with the utmost care, in response to the requests above set forth, appointed a commission to undertake this great work. I have sought only the most representative men of the two races. I have not asked them whether they had views as to how the question" could be met. Urges Spirit of Fairness "I have asked them only to approach the difficult subject with an open mind and in a spirit of fairness and justice, and that has been constituted to get the facts and interpret them and to find a way out. I believe that great good work out of the work of this commission. "I ask that our people, white and colored, give their fullest co-operation to the commission. I ask, too, as I have a right to ask, that both races exercise that patience and self-reliance, and be disposable to self-government while we are working out this problem." ANNUAL MEETING E. R. L. SEP. 23. The Organization That Got a Delegate to Paris in Spite of Government Ban, to Meet at Washington, D. C., for Three Days. Washington, D. C.

Church which heard the details of the remarkable exploit of Delegate Willard, the State Department, the State Department by carrying the cause of the race to the Peace Conference, Executive Officers of this organization, headed by Rev. Byron H. Crawford, the Chairman, held a two days' session. The result was the decision to hold the 12th Annual Meeting of the National Equal Rights League at Washington, September 23rd to 25th, 1919. The League, formed in 1919, ordered Race and the Peace Conferences, in connection with a full report by delegate Trótter. "Full Democracy Now" is the slogan. Every existing branch league, every branch formed delegates, all are eligible to send delegates, also all board members delegates to the World Democracy Congress conducted by the League. NEWS FROM OVER THERE. Paris, France, Aug. 7, 1919.—After sixteen months from my home and family and one year in Europe, it is expected that by August 25 my discharge will be given to me in New York City.

And we fight with all our might, So we'll set our banners high, And fight to win or die, And give a rousing welcome, When the boys come home. We trust in God above, And leave the ones we love, So we'll set our banners high, And fight to win or die, And give a rousing welcome, When the boys come home. Our Allies are as one, And we say to each well done, So we'll set our banners high, And fight to win or die, And give a rousing welcome, When the boys come home. The Huns fight in the air, But they find that we are there, So we'll set our banners high, And fight to win or die, And give a rousing welcome, When the boys come home. They fight upon the land, But our guns are fully manned, So we'll set our banners high, And fight to win or die, And give a rousing welcome, When the boys come home. Their boasted submarines, Cannot baffle our marines, So we'll set our banners high, And fight to win or die, And give a rousing welcome, When the boys come home. The Providential God, Will guide the chastening rod, So we'll set our banners high, And fight to win or die, And give a rousing welcome, When the boys come home. Yours for Loyalty, Elbert W. Gilles.
