The County Fair.

Who is there that does not remember
the county fair" No one, unless
some unfortunate who was born ''grown
up" or whose childhood was unhappily
cribbed and confined within city walls.
What a gala day it was when the farm
ers took a holiday, the big wagons were
loaded with the children, the ''women
folks and big baskets of lunch, the
stores in the county town were closed
for the afternoon, and the town folks
turned out, too. The fashion of much
that was simple, genuine and harmless
holiday in our American life has
changed, but the county fair remains
almost the same. The fat oxen, the
enormous porkers, the big pumpkins,
the be-ribboned horses, the sloppy din
ing halls, the vociferous vendors of pop
corn and lemonade, the blowing match.
the man with toy balloons, the races in
which 3:OS was great time for mile
all these are unchanged. The only
difference is that we now get there
largely by rail, and if it is the big
State Fairs we visit, we go by the
Burlington" the best equipped rail-
road, getting tickets of the local agent
or writing to w. j. C. Kenyon, Gen,

1t GEMS that the lead of The APPEAL
in giving ONE HUMID ED Dc LIARS towards
testing the validity of the Separate Car
Acts of the South has been followed to
a certain extent. It must be remem
bered that the 800 Of The APPEAL was
not given on condition that any other
paper did likewise, but given outright,
and is now in the hands of the treasurer
of the Minnesota Civil Rights Commit
tee. The Langston City Herald is au-
thority for the statement that the Amer
lean Citizen, Kansas City, Kan, has SUBJ
scribed 500; The Free Speech, Mem
phis, Tenn, $50; The Topeka (Kan
Call, $50; The Ferret, New Orleans, La,
$50; The Langston City Herald, $50;
these subscriptions should be followed
by many others if the Afro-American
journals are really in earnest in this
matter. 1t is hoped that the list will
be much larger next week. Money

wonder at that; the greatest wonder is
that anybody ever really believed that
the Afro-Americans of the United States
had any idea of leaving their native
home to die in Africa. The Afro-Amer-
leans of the United States were-nine
hundred and ninety nine in every thou
sand-born in this country, as their par
ents were before them. They know
nothing of any other country than this,
their native land; and, whatever else
they may be, they are not fools enough
to leave here, in any large numbers, to
20 to Africa. America, where they
were born, is good enough for them. II
anybody is tired of being in this country
with them they have the privilege q
going to Africa where all those brigh
prospects as described by Bishop Turner
await them. We wonder if Bishop Tur
ner will practice what hepreaches?

very offensive to the Colored people,

The Anglo-Saxon Americans set up
the claim that they represent the high
est type Of mankind. That the highest
and hottest attributes Of man are in
herent in them. they claim to be chris.
term, They claim that the main ohjec-
tion they have to their Afro-American
brothers is the lack in said brother of
the high and holy attributes which in
themselves, places them on a higher plane
of civilization. They claim that if their
Afro-American brothers were like them
selves in other thir gs the simple differ
ence in complexion would make no
material matter. But they lie. The
nearer their Afro American brothers are
like themselves the more obnoxious
the become. They do not object to the
Afro-An-ericsn being anything less than
a man but when he shows the least
sign of having feelings and desires akin
their own that settles him. He will laud
him to the skises as good janitor, or
porter, or servant when in his employ
but will not advance him one step. He
makes no more objection to coming in
personal contact with the Afro. American
as an inferior being, than he does of a
horse or dog. Beautiful Anglo-Saxon
women on the theatrical stage in the
presence of vast audiences fondle and
kiss-actually kiss-dogs, pigs, horses
etc, and are app!auded for such acts,
yet these same women and all the peo-
pie in the audiences would be- thor.
oughly disguised if a genuine Afro
American was in the cast and came in
for and received such favors at their
hands. Dogs, pigs and horses are SUI
perior to human beings if the latter
happen to be tainted with one drop of
African blood. If the christianity of the
Arglo-Ssxon teaches him that because
he happens to be fair in complexion he
is better than any human being who
happens to be darker skinned, we want
none of SUCH christianity. If fhe moral
law of the Anglo Saxon onlv applies to
the Anglo-Saxon it is no law at all. The
Ang'o-Saxon is exactly the opposite of
what he sets himself up to be. Who
can deny it?
