THE PRESIDENT RIGHT.
In his speech at Harvard, Presiden
Roosevelt said: ~

In his speech at Harvard, President
Roosevelt said: .-e.
State rights should be preserved
when they mean the peoples rights
but not when they mean the peoples
wrongs; not, for instance, when they
are invoked to prevent the abolition
Of child labor or to break the force
Of the laws which prohibit the impor
tation Of contract labor to this coun
try; in short, not when they stand
for wrong or oppression CT any kind
or for national weakness or impotence
at home or abroad.
The laws Of every Southern state
stand for the oppression Of the Afro
American. There is not a single state
South in which the race is given a
square deal. There are Jim CROW cal
laws, Jim crow schools, Jim crow Ii
kraries, etc., ad nauseam. 1t is a hope
full sign for the Afro-American people
that the tendency is in the direction
of a strong centralized government.

ants would not even promise to work
white landowners" Tom is right
about Eat; there are thousands OF
white ladies and white landowners who
have no trouble in getting all the At
roAmericans they need, and there are
certain others who cannot get any
simply because they are known to be
cheats and frauds. The Afro-Ameri
cans have learned sense enough to
boycott such beats; that is all there is
in it.
Again, Mr.. Watson says: ''The man
ner in which secret midnight meetings
are being Held throughout the South,
ern states means something; and in
this he is undoubtedly right. But he
does not know what it means and we
do; so we shall essay to dispel small
percentage of his deplorab1e ignorance.
1t means that there are in every South
ern state strong organization of Free
masons, another of Oddfellows and
several other fraternities. which are
doing wonderful work, of which Tom
never heard, and of which he is pro-
fourdly ignorant, in the way Of at
tending to the wants of the sick and
the burial of the dead of the race. In
one state, one of these organizations is
bonded by the state in the sum of $780,
COO, per annum. These organizations
have paid out to the distressed mem
bers of their order, almost one mil
lion of dollars.
Now the plain fact is that the sensi-
bic white people of the South are we'll
acquainted with all the Afro-Ameri-
cans who belong to the secret Organi-
cations and know that they are the
very best men of the race; ergo, they
know that Mr.. Watson's care-lines,
italics and cuts are the cheapest kind
of yellow literature. Mr.. Watson car
not prove that any such dirty cut
throat organization as Tom Dixon
glorifies in his clansmen, ever existed
among the Afro-Americans of the
South since the abolition OF slavery.
That Internal institution. which made
devils of some of the masters, also

HAS SINGULAR LIBEL LAW.
Australia Protects Its Citizens Who
Have Small Pride of Ancestry.

Australia Protects Its Citizens Who
Have Small Pride Of Ancestry.
The libel law of Australia is the
queerest in the world He who is
sued for libel there must not only
prove that the accusations he publish
ed were true, but also that to publish
them was for the public benefit. Else
where the truth of the accusation
alone needs to be proved.
An Australian sheep raiser explain
ed this queer libel law at wool sale.
Australia was practically colonized
by convicts,' he said. There is no
use denying this. The colonizers OF
Australia were conyicts in the main.
L The descendants of these convicts
are now Australia's leading families,
the richest, the most influential, the
most intelligent, the most respected.
And vet these excellent people were
in the, past at the mercy of every edi-
tor Let them get into the smallest
squabble or dispute with some editor
and the man would bring them into
general ridicule and contempt by
+
printing their ancestry, by showing
that Sir John Smiths great-grand
father had been sent out for robbins
an Old woman of 81 or that Judge
Browns gleat-aunt, while employed as
servant girl, had tried to poison her
masters son, with whom she was in
love.
1T is undeniably true that the best
Australians have convict blood in theil
veins. The newspapers that they
quarreled with used to taunt them
with their convict blood. Hence the
present queer libel law, which pro
tects them, for, of course, it can never
be for the public good to publish that
the grandmother of Judge So-and-Sc
or the great uncle of DR.. Blank was a
convict

LAWMAKERS DOING FINE.

What our lawmakers DO when they
are assembled inaaegislative capacity
is usually well known to whom it may
concern. But what they are doing
when not in the siatiFe halls IS
often not So wen Known. SO THE
APPEAL gives a few items concerning
them, which oughtsto be of special in.
,terest Some of those mentioned are
state and some U. S. officials Sena-
tor Butt is on the rockpile, Represen-
tative Favrot is being tried for murder,
Representative Goss for boodling,
Senator Burton is in the pen, Repre-
sentative Adams has just been expell-
ed from his legislature for bribery. and
etc., almost ad infinitum.

HAS SOME GOOD TRAITS, Ell?

Pine Bluff, Ark, was recently visited
by a great fire which destroyed eight
entire blocks. The citizers at once
adopted measures for the relief of the
victims. The Little Rock Gazette men
tons the following incident:
AT meeting Of the committee
chairmen yesterday, President W. N
Trulock stated that several hundred
dollars had been contributed to the re-
lief fund by Afro-American residents
Of this city. Every donation. from
them was received unsolicited AS
far as is known not one Afro American
family lived in the burned district .
After all that has been said, the
Southern Afro-American seems to have
some good traits, don't he, Mr.. Tillman

tentiary. at Leayenworth, after having
served there fifteen months Burbank
married a Filipino woman and child

and was forced to pay her $50 per

He says:

He declared that in short time he
would tell everything he/ knows about
his case. and that when he does it will
cause one Of the greatest sensations
in army affairs in recent years.
There seems to be little doubt of the
fellow well deserving the punishment
he suffered.

10, The POOR INDIAN,

An interesting report Of the seizure
OF a passenger train on the Rock Is
land Railroad at Topeka. .Kans., by a
drunken Indian, and his running away
with (which wasn't even a little bit
amusing to the passengers concludes
with the statement that when Run.
ming Wolf was searched at the police
station the two most interesting things
found in his pockets were: A quart
bottle of cheap, fiery whiskey and a
crumpled and faded diploma from an
Indian training school"
OF course that incident proves that
all the money spent to- educate Lo,
the poor Indian is money thrown away.
But how about Lord Bacon and the
Duke of Marlborough.

THE JAPANESE PHYSICIAN.

In the Hawaiian Islands the protest
against Japanese cheap labor has talk
ca the form CT a demand by the eau
casian physicians that Japanese doc
tors shall be forbidden to practice in
the islands. 1t is not asserted that the
Japanese physicians are not equal to
their white brethren in medical skill,
but it is alleged that they 90 not speak
the English language and consequent
ly ought not to be permitted to take
the examinations Of the medical board.
Neither do many Russian. Polish,
Scandinavian and Spanish physicians
speak the English language. Why not
taboo them?
