SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1920. ENFORCE THE 14TH AND 15TH AMENDMENTS. It is with very great satisfaction that we notice there seems to be some hope that, at last, the members of Congress have determined to form a plan for representation in that august body upon the basis of the voters permitted to participate in elections in the several states, rather than upon mere population, in Presidential and Congressional elections. Congressman George H. Tinkham, of Massachusetts, has introduced a resolution based upon the provisions of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution and showing that the representation from several states is not in keeping with those provisions. Notably in the Southern states, glaring ignoring of these constitutional amendments has been practiced for many years, giving eleven of these states 126 votes in the electoral college and 104 representatives in Congress on a total vote of all presidential candidates of 1,870,209. The state of New York, alone, cast a total vote of 1,706,354 but has only 43 representatives in Congress and 29 votes in the electoral college. On account of this flagrant ignoring of the 14th and 15th Amendments we have had the infliction of Wilson and Wilsonism for the past seven years and ten months, and we most sincerely hope that the present Congress will make such a condition impossible for the future. CONGRATULATIONS, FELLOW KENTUCKIANS. The First Standard Bank, Louisville, Ky., the first state bank organized by colored people in Kentucky, held a meeting last week and elected officers as follows: Wilson Lovett, President; W. W. Spradling, 1st Vice-President and Chairman of the Board; Dr. L. R. Johnson, 2nd Vice-President; Bishop George C. Clement, 3rd Vice-President; Jos. R. Ray, Cashier; A. L. Simpson and Richard L. Jones, Assistant Cashiers. A Board of Directors of thirty-one members was also elected. This bank is capitalized at $100,000.00 with a surplus of $10,000.00. The entire stock issue was sold to colored people in less than six months. The Bank expects to open its doors for business about Dec. 15 in temporary quarters, but a permanent building will be erected on a site already purchased on West Walnut street. The editor of THE APEAL was born and reared in Louisville, at a time when such a business venture was absolutely unthinkable; and, now that it is an accomplished fact, is tangible evidence that "we's risin" in "Old Kentuck." "PORTLAND EXAMINER THROWS A FIT." THE APPEAL desires to tender thanks and congratulations to The Portland (Ore.) Times for the forceful, able and logical manner in which it combated the position taken by the Portland Examiner (white) in regard to the establishment of separate public schools in Oregon by act of the Legislature, in its issue of Nov. 27. The article from start to finish occupies more than two columns and consequently is too long for reproduction, much to our regret. The article in the Examiner shows that Portland is not without its short-sighted, assinine, jim-crow colored people who are to be found too frequently in this country both north and south and who are the greatest stumbling blocks to our permanent progress. We are inclined to say, "Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do," but the devil will not get his due until he gets a lot of them within his fiery domain, where they surely deserve to go. Keep up the fight. Brothers Merriam and Morrow, we'll hold your coats. MR. MOORE WAS WIDE AWAKE. One of the things that pleased THE APPEAL in the recent Republican landslide was the election of Mr. W. L. Moore, of St. Louis, as a member of the Missouri Legislature. The Democrats were "laying low" and were planning to contest Mr. Moore's election on the ground as they confidently believed that he was not a taxpayer. But Mr. Moore was aware of the law that an office holder must be a taxpayer so he purchased a small lot and paid four years back taxes on it last September and the Democrat who received the next highest to that of Mr. Moore was very much chagrined when he learned this fact. Mr. Moore was born in Alabama, is 38 years old, and was educated in Howard University, Washington, D.C. He was formerly a clerk in the St. Louis postoffice. He will doubtless make a very good legislator, as he declares he will support every proposition that will help the public welfare, will work in the interest of higher salaries for school teachers, with a view of raising the educational standards and provide more educational advantages for colored people in his state. League of Women Voters The Everywoman Progressive Council was represented at every session of the League of Women Voters, both at tS. Paul and Minneapolis. Mrs. W. T. Francis was a member of the hostess committee for the luncheon of the League of Women Voters at the Curtis Hotel, Minneapolis, Wednesday. Mrs. Mildred Sharpe, Mrs. Bessie Miller, Mrs. Florence McGavock, Mrs. Naunette Jones, Mrs. Horace Henderson, and Mrs. Francis were the only colored women actually participating in the luncheon. The presiding officer Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Andres Ueland, vigorously denounced the lynching of colored citizens, and made a strong appeal for interest for the N. A. A. P. C. Mrs. W. T. Francis was given the privilege of the floor and explained at length the object and scope of the association. The sum of $30 was subscribed by Everywoman Council as a supporter of President-elect Harding's sponsor, Mrs. Sumner T. McKnight in the great financial campaign at the luncheon Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Miss Emly Kneubel. GREEK LETTER FRATERNITY. Ninth Annual Convention. The Omega Phi Fraternity, one of the leading college fraternities will hold its annual convention Dec 27th to 30th inclusive, in Nashville, Tennessee, where chapters are located at Fisk University and Meharry Medical College. This is slated to be the largest convention in the history of the fraternity due to the establishment of many new chapters. The large delegation to the convention will represent about 700 undergraduate and graduate members. Delegates and visitors will gather from all the leading universities of the United States. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Dean of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, former Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Howard University, will deliver the main address. Delta Chapter assures the delegation, the doors of the hospitable southland will be open. This will be one of the greatest gathering of college graduates of St. Paul. Dr. Raymond Hill of St. Paul, Minn. who was elected Grand Keeper of Seals in Boston, Mass., last December, will attend the convention. Much of the success of the fraternity during the year is due to the efficient leadership of Mr. R. G. Robison of Harvard University. THE ALLEGED RAPISTS FREED. Nate Greys, Loney Williams, Frank Spicer, Clarence Green and Louis Hayes, the colored men who have been held in the Duluth jail since the middle of last June charged with assaulting a white woman, were discharged last Wednesday on motion of the county attorney. And thus ends this noted case.

The Board of Directors of the Saint Paul Mercantile Association met Friday, December 3, 1920. It was agreed that we; the undersigned, withdraw from and sever our connection with the Co-operative Wholesale Society of America and begin operations on an independent plan.

Man can rule, but God can overrule. Stagnation in the moral, intellectual or physical life, means decay. When you are tempted to criticise others, turn your guns on yourself. Regular family meals and regular family worship would solve many family problems. The best salesmanship is the art of leading the people to buy what you want them to buy; and, what they will always be glad, afterwards, that they did buy. E. W. Gilles.

Sec. MINNESOTA FEDERATION OF WOMEN. At the convention held at the Curtis Hotel, Minneapolis, by the Minnesota State Federation of Women, there were four colored delegates—Mrs. W. R. Hardy, Mrs. Geo. Gooden, Mrs. A. S. Foster and Mrs. W. T. Francis On Thursday afternoon Mrs. Hardy, knowing that the last session was near—and as she had received a communication from her sister, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, asking her to make an appeal for sympathy, and public opinion to support the Anti-lynching bill that was presented by Senator Curtis and Representative Dyer of Missouri, which will come up before Congress in this session—was determined to make an attempt to bring the matter before the women. The first woman she approached told her she was sorry, but as very important business had been turned down, she was sure nothing could be done. Mrs. Hardy replied: "Surely nothing can be more important than human life, and will not consider your answer." So she waited until the executive committee came out of the room and waylaid Mrs. Andres Ueland, who was presiding at the afternoon session. She made such a strong appeal that Mrs. Hardy told her she would bring the matter before the women, but as it was a Federal matter the convention could not take any action; so when the matter was said commented upon, Mrs. Hardy arose and stated that as she had presented this matter to Mrs. Uland she would like to tell the women the reason why; and she said: "Women, when the unborn have been lynched in Georgia, is it not time that we should begin to be interested? Let me tell you a story." She then related the story of Mary Turner. When she had finished there was not a dry eye in the room—several women came over and shook her hand and --- --- MOROCCAN ADMISSION said they would do all they could to help the cause, and asked her to send them colored literature, as they intended to be interested in the colored people hereafter. Mrs. Hardy feels that while she had no newspaper notoriety, she has helped some. The colored delegates are loud in their praise of the courtesy shown them by the managers of the hotel, in the dining room especially.
