An APPEAL.

Every effort has been made by State
and National Organizations to inaup-
uTate plans and methods to cure the
evils that have taken a hold of the
minds OF the American people and
even permitted every Southern legis-
latIve body in violation of the Ameri-
can Constitution and the law govern
ing law and order, pass unconstitution-
al laws. What methods, therefore
must the negro adopt TO protect him
self. Shall he appeal TO the shotgun?
No. Shall he use force? No. The
BEE would suggest that a representa-
tive conference be held in the District
on or about the middle or latter part
of November and through that con-
ference let the American people make
an appeal to the President and the
President 10 the Congress of tie
United States. There sh uld be
something done at once 10 ameliOrate
the condition OF the negro in this
country 1t is hoped that the entire
press of the country will take a hold
of this matter and do all in its power
to pnt this movement on foot. Let
this conference be void of politics en-
tirely. There shOnId not be the least
reference to politics but, simply meth
DDS to be adopted, where by the Pres
ident and the Congress of the United
States could adopt such methods to
protect all classes Of American Citi-
ZcnS. 1t Is hoped that the churches
through out the country will take an
Interest in this subject and do all in
their power 10 make this gathering a
success. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the better element of the
American people is opposed to the
methods adopted by the mob in Justi
flying such acts that are perpetrated by
said mob IN satisfying the ends of
Justice. THE BEE maintains that mob
law is in violation of the Constitution
of the United States and II never
was intended by the trainers of the Con
stitutiOn of the United States, that the
viOlatOrs of the law should go unpun-
lShed. The American Negro dOsen't
believe in any class or individual COM
mittlng a crime and allowed to go free
The negro, is an American citizen,
and while there are some, who don't
believe in law or order, there are
others who are just as patriotic, hon
est and sincere in their intentions as
the white man The colored people
of the United States are not RESPONSE
ble for what a few of their number
may be charged with. Those who
have the laws to make and the power
to execute them should be able to dis.
Crimiuate between those who are good
and those who are bad. Therefore,
the American people are appealed 10
take such action in this call that they
deem best and wise. 1t is proposed
to have this conference of representa-
tive citizens from throughout the
country to assemble, in National Con-
ference on or about the latter part of
November 1901 and adopt such an ad-
dress TO the American people through
the President of the United States and
Congress. Those who favor such a
movement will so indicate il, by ad-
dressing the Editor of The BEE,
Washington, d. c. The press,
throughout the country, irrespective
of politics will please give this call
favorable consideration.

citizen to '.do. DO. do" something for
the good of the town. Paint your

the street and alley is free Of litter.
Fix your sidewalk. Ii you DO these
things YOU come nearer being a good
citizen. Get lawn or bit Of flower
