THE APPEAL is sorry to note that the color line has been drawn in the new Veterans' Bureau by the organization of a "Colored Division" and the appointment of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland as its head. Crossland lost a son who fell "fighting for democracy" in France, and it is a poor reward for the father to be given a segregated bureau. It is also said that he was an effective speaker in the last campaign, in which it was given out that the Republican party would abolish segregation in the departments at Washington. If these things are true Crossland deserves better treatment at the hands of the victors, and he also should have refused the appointment as undemocratic and demanded the same treatment as is given to other groups of American citizens. One Lasker, a Jew, was made head of the U. S. Shipping Board. Representatives of other racial groups have been given places, but not in segregated bureaus. No President of the United States would dare offer a Jew a place as the head of a segregated Jewish bureau. There is no such place and never will be. Only colored people are segregated by this alleged democracy. Some people may think that the "special" appointments which have been handed out by the present Republican administration are forward movements, but they are really nails in the coffin of democracy and are dangerous to the social and political status of the colored people. The Administration ought to cut out these "special" jobs, eliminate segregation which was promised in the campaign, and if colored men are to have appointinets let them be on a level with those given to other groups of American citizens. Better no places at all than those which lower the status of the race and automatically make their holders defenders of segregation. DEMANDS RACE EQUALITY. The Pan-African Congress now in session in London, England, in a manifesto to the world, demands absolute race equality, physical, political and social, as a foundation for advancement. The manifesto was read by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois of New York, secretary of the conference. It urges that it is the duty of the world to assist in every way backward and THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con- The human race ha test. Had no voice injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide o The few who dare speak again to rig many.—Ella Wheel To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. suppressed groups of mankind. The manifesto protests against colored people being treated as uncivilized and argues that Negro self-government in Haiti and Liberia maltato democracies in Central and South America and in some of the West Indies have not been failures. It demands enfranchisement based on educational qualifications. The program laid down in the manifesto is just and proper and the only one to which self-respecting people of African and part African descent could subscribe. We are glad that the Pan-African Congress has gone on record for the principles laid down in the Christian Bible, by God, who "of one blood created all nations of the earth." SOUTHERN "FORWARD" Recently there was a laymen's conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, held at Lake Junalaska, N. C., and one Rev. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Ga., took the stage and said: "The next big forward step in the inter-racial readjustment is to come from the South, and the reason for it is perfectly apparent. The South can afford to do it. Then too the South has the social prestige to do this. The social question figures largely in the race question. So the South can, when it will take the leadership in inter-racial co-operation. I believe that the South will assume the leadership with the same sort of pride and determination as it led the nation. It has been the universal opinion of those who have come in close touch with the question that Negro leaders do not desire or seek social equality. They have asked for police protection, better housing and living conditions and a chance to develop into useful American citizens with every determination to maintain their own social life and the purity of the two racial stocks." It is true that some of the jim-crow "leaders" of the South have said that they do not want anything but police protection and do not care to vote, etc., and ad nauseam, but the colored people of the North will fight to the last ditch against any scheme of the South to impose its plan of settlement upon the country. They know that the South has, in all its "forward" movements proceeded like the crab—backward. They know that the colored citizens of the South have been disfranchised, discriminated against, segregated, degraded in every way, denied education, lynched, burned at the stake. There have been riots and lynchings in the North, but never a burning, and for every lynching in the North there have been 50 in the South. Nowhere in the South have the colored people any part in the local government, and first of all they wish the right to vote and participate in the governments under which they live. The colored people know that the so-called Christian church has remained dumb for 50 years in spite of growing anarchy, and now when it speaks it comes with a jimcrow plan. And as usual the South talks of "social equality." The real intelligent colored people all over the country do not wish to be segregated from other American citizens in the enjoyment of CIVIL RIGHTS. They do not wish to be designated as pariahs. This has nothing to do with intermarriage, and it is the veriest rot to --- THE MAN WHO DARES 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 th world, the counten the hearts of friend 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. ce when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. say that it means intermarriage for white and colored people to ride in the same car or to go to the same library. In the North, where there are no jimcrow laws, colored and white people go together in public places without intermarriage. Marriages between white and colored people are so rare that when they occur, occur, and that is seduction, there is a long story in the papers about the event. In the South, where there are laws against intermarriage, practically all of the UNLAWFUL mixing goes on as it is promoted by the difference in the social status of the white and colored people. The surest way to "maintain racial purity" would be to repeal all of the Southern jim-crow laws. So long as the colored people are a voteless people and on a lower social and civil plane, the illegal racial mixing will continue. That is history. In his enumration of what the colored people desire, Rev. Alexander omitted two of the most important things—the right to vote and the abolition of public segregation. There is absolutely no hope of a settlement of the race question on just American lines if the South is to have the leadership, especially if that leadership is to eb vested in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which has ever been the foe of the colored people from the time of the split over slavery in the forties up to the present time when the church refuses to merge with the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, because the latter church elected colored bishops. NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT. NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT. Bearing a Tuskegee date line, an excerpt from the London (England) Times is going the rounds of the press, lauding the head of Tuskegee Institute; and it says among other things: "Dr. Moton is the leader of Negro thought in the U. S." This statement needs some qualification. Moton was put in as head of the school because the interests which support it wished him there as a mouthpiece through which they could express THEIR thoughts. Emmett J. Scott was the logical candidate for the place, but it is said that at the meeting at which the election took place, some one suggested that Scott would not be so easy to control as Moton. That decided the matter. THE APPEAL does not underestimate the strength of Dr. Moton. He has powerful interests behind him and he has a large following, but he is in no sense a great thinker or a leader in thought. There are thousands of colored men who are in every way superior intellectually and yet are not hampered by some of the traits he has shown. Specifically, in the matter of his alleged refusal to protest against the ejection of his wife from a Pullman sleeper several years ago, his alleged speeches to the colored soldiers in France, and his continual laudation of the South in his public utterances. Dr. Moton has recently written a book called, "Finding a Way Out," but as a reviewer said, he seemed to be "getting in deeper." Although written in grammatical English, there are no "high lights" and certainly no evidences of great thought or literary ability. To the most casual observer, "Major" Moton is not a leader in thought, but a follower, who not only thinks, but says that which pleases the who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or South, and as a reward the South gives him not justice for the people he is picked to represent, but a pat on the back as a "good negro." SEE YOUR CONGRESSMAN. During the recess of Congress the members will go to their respective homes. As soon as you see in the paper that your congressman is in town go to him, no matter whether he is a Republican, Democrat or Socialist and ask him to vote for the Wyer Anti-Lynching Bill, which makes the crime of lynching a Federal offense, punishable by the United States courts. You could not use an hour or two to better advantage for your country. The bill has been pronounced constitutional by experts who have examined it, and the various organizations which are supporting it report that conditions are favorable for its passage when Congress reconvenes September 20. Bring all the influence at your command to bear on YOUR CONGRESSMAN, and do it as soon as possible. BANKER BINGA PEACE HERO. There are heroes of peace as well as war, and Jesse Binga, the banker of Chicago, deserves a high honor rating. About two years ago Mr.Binga bought a beautiful home costing $30,000 on South Park Boulevard, which he furnished artistically and kept in the finest possible condition. Some of the whites living in the neighborhood resented this "invasion" as they called it, and no fewer than seven attempts have been made to destroy it by bombing. The seventh attempt about a week ago resulted in the destruction of the front porch and the shattering of windows in the neighborhood. The only person injured was a white woman across the street who was thrown down by the explosion. It shows great courage on the part of Mr. Binga and his family to stay in the house, as it is almost like living right on the firing line the greater part of the time. Mr. Binga is wholly within his rights in living in his own home and will not give up no matter what may come. He deserves a "Croix de Guerre." THE "MENACE" OF BUDDHISM. THE "MENACE" OF BUDDHISM. A woman who has been a Christian missionary in Japan for 18 years called the attention to the Disciples of Christ, at a recent general conference, to the growing "menace" of Buddhism. She said that Buddhist priests and teachers are coming in increasing numbers and are urging the Japanese in the U. S. to have nothing to do with the Christian religion on the ground that its followers call them inferior and oppress them. She also stated that Buddhism is also gaining among Americans and that many colored people were being converted. It is not strange that the religion of the gentle Gautama Buddha should appeal to the colored people, because it not only teaches the equality of amnkind, but practices its teachings. Orthodox Christianity in the U. S. teaches inequality of race and oppresses, disfranchises, lynches and burns colored Christians at the stake. It is aided in "keeping the 'nigger' in his place" by the Ku Klux Klanmsen, who, barring the Jews and Catholics, kneel before the "Flaming Cross" and swear to uphold "white supremacy." WOULD AID COLORED; OUSTED. Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, championed the cause of the alleged Elaine rioters and wrote a letter to the Governor of Arkansas, in which he asked him to review the cases of the farmers under allegations which had not been proven. A few days ago Prof. Kerlin was handed a resolution passed by the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Military Institute asking for his immediate resignation. When he refused to resign, the Board of Visitors passed another resolution ousting him from his professorship. As Professor Kerlin, a Southern man, one in a thousand, was asking for simple justice, the action of the school authorities is but another illustration of bitter Southern prejudice. And - Robert Russa Moton lauds the South. LET'S CLEAN U. S. A. FIRST. In a recent speech in New Hampshire, President Harding declared that the God-given destiny of America is to reform the world. A great deal of such talk was indulged in by former President Wilson, who suggested reformation for the world, but failed to do many things which were needed at home. THE APPEAL suggests to Mr. Harding that there is work enough at home. The United States is not the proper leader for any kind of a reform movement as there are too many skeletons in her closet. When the U. S. A. has eliminated lynching, race riots, disfranchisement, segregation and discrimination for a large group of its citizens so that all Americans, colored and white, rich and poor, Gentile and Jew, can enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then and not until then will this country be in a position to "clean up" other lands. the National Equal Rights League to meet at Chicago, Ill., September 10-14, at the Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, 33rd and Indiana avenue. A strong fight will be made against disfranchisement, segregation and jim-crowism in general. A drive will be made for the passage of the Tinkham and Madden bills. Every local league should at once elect delegates and notify Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, 3624 Grand Boulevard, Chicago, Ill. TEACHING KUKLUXISM Lanier University, Atlanta, Georgia, has been taken over by the Ku Klux Klan, the president of the institution has designed and William J. Simmons, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, has been elected president. The university is a Baptist institution, but the charter has been amended so as to permit any "Christian" to become a trustee "unless he is a Catholic, Negro or a foreigner." It is rumored that the new course of study will include, "Science and Method of K. K. K." "Best Systems of Negro Intimidation." Every class will be opened by reading a selection from the Bible, a prayer and singing, "Onward, Christian Soldier." PROTEST AGAINST INJUSTICE. We trust that our editorial friends will print strong editorials and write letters to the Secretary of War protesting against the color line in the army, and advise the writing of letters of protest to every cabinet member portesting the color line in the various departments. And ask the President to abolish segregation where it can be done by executive order. Let us stand togather for the absolute abolition of the color line in American citizenship. A QUESTION OF STATUS. The Monitor of Omaha, prints under the above heading, an editorial which is so logical and conclusive that we publish it in full: "Well meaning people cannot understand why the American of color objects to being set apart by himself. They seem to think that he is not satisfied with his own people and is therefore trying to force himself into places and among people who do not want him. This is to miss the whole point. It is simply a question of status. He objects to being singled out and set apart and denied privileges inherent in American citizenship because he knows that such procedure gives him a status of inferiority, which no self-respecting American citizen can accept. He is either an American citizen or he is not. The Constitution of the United States considers him an American citizen, American practice in the denial of civil rights denies him this status. Which is right, the Constitution which guarantees full rights of citizenship, or custom which denies them?" The attorney general of Georgia declares that "the same rules and regulations will apply to both sexes in the white primaries. There can be no exceptions." The Atlanta Journal adds, "The attorney general also points out the obvious fact that negro men and negro women cannot vote at white primaries." A Southern newspaper headline says, "President Harding Takes Hand in Southern Rate Discrimination." Say, boys, it would be great if it were really so that one letter could be changed to make the headline read, "President Harding Takes Hand in Southern Race Discrimination." The creation of the permanent court of international justice has been assured by the ratification by Haiti and Spain of the agreement to establish the court. These two ratifications completed the requisite number—twenty-four—necessary. All Europe is simply jazz crazy. It has been supposed that jazz originated in America, but recently indisputable evidence has been produced to prove that it was invented by the Incas of ancient Peru. Dr. W. S. Scarborough, former president of Wilberforce, is in London and is talking to reporters. Some things he says are good and some very bad, the average being a lot of jimcrow pifle. As the women fight and secure more rights, colored men seem to be losing some of their rights acquired half a century ago. Is there any connection between these two facts? PLEASE GIVE ONE DOLLAR Fourteen hundred claims have been filed against the city and county for property burned during the riot—value of property burned nearly $5,000,000. Fifty colored men have been indicted. The city will not permit the people to rebuild their property unless they build bricks; therefore thousands are living in tents with winter fast approaching. About $4,000 has been raised by the Colored Citizens Relief Committee and N. A. A. C. P. If 8,000 colored men will give a dollar the cause will be saved. WONT YOU GIVE A DOLLAR TO HELP THESE PEOPLE?

The Golden Rule THE STORE THAT LIVES UP TO ITS NAME BROWN-SLAUGHTER A SAINTLY CITY GOUPELE NUP-TIALLY KNOTTED. Mr. Alfred Brown and Mrs. Jessie Slaughter follow the fashion and are Joined in the Holy Bonds of Wedlock. Ever since the Almighty Ruler in His Divine wisdom saw it was not well for man to live alone and He made for him a helpmeet, mankind—which also includes womankind—has been following the example of Adam and Eve. There have been numerous weddings in St. Paul, more or less noteworthy and pretty, but none, recently, were more so than that of Mr. Alfred Brown and Mrs. Jessie Slaughter, which was solemnized last Monday evening at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rolla B. Beard, 747 W. Central Ave. Mr. Beard, the bride's father, for years has held the position of messenger for the Peoples Bank, and he is also a dealer in real estate and considered one of our foremost citizens. The groom is an industrious and exemplary young man who is employed by the American House-furnishing Co. Mr. and Mrs. Beard are the fortunate possessors of a very cozy and beautiful home, which was made more beautiful by the elaborate and tasteful decorations for the auspicious occasion. The front parlor was decorated in pink, and the back parlor in yellow and there was an improvised altar of evergreens, wild and cut flowers that combined to make these parlora a bower of beauty seldom surpassed. At the appointed hour while Prof. W. A. Weir played the wedding march the bride and groom met at the altar. They were attended by Miss Lillian Brown, sister of the groom, as bridesmaid, and Mr. Champ Clark as best man. When the wedding party had taken proper positions Rev. H. L. P. Jones, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, performed the ceremony that linked them for life. Before and after the ceremony Mr. John Jackson very sweetly sang selections appropriate for such an occasion. The bride who is quite pretty had her beauty enhanced by a gown of white silk taffeta of the prevailing mode and a wreath of orange blossoms and carried a shower bouquet of white roses tied with a bow of white silk chiffon. Miss Lillian Brown, the bridesmaid, wore a gown of blue silk crepe du Chine trimmed with silver lace. She carried a bouquet of sweet peas. The groom and his best man were attired in regular full dress. The spacious house was completely filled with guests who had responded to the verbal invitations to be present. After the ceremony and the congratulations, seasonable refreshments were served ad libitum, and joy reigned supreme until a late hour. The newly-weds started on a honey moon trip to Duluth, but will, however, be at home to their friends on and after tomorrow at 747 W. Central Ave., where they will make their home for the present.
