THE "UNSPEAKABLE" TURK.

The Washington Herald has re.
Gently had an interview with Alum
Norioddin Adde's, Turk, who is a
professor in the University Of Con
stantinople, who is at the Raleigh
Mr.. Adde's made some statements
which will seem surprising to many
people. He said:
I'VE Turks are pictured in the
newspapers as pirates, buccaneers
bloodthlrsty murderers, Immoral, in
dolent and filthy. We are represent
ed as being rank polygamists, with
no thought of the stability of the
marriage ties, and as allowing a pro-
miscuous intercourse among the sex
es.
All this is untrue Until the Euro
peans began to come into Turkey, the
country was the most moral in the
world. The women are kept yelled,
and never even show their faces to
their husbands until after the mar
rage, except in some cases, and then
the face is 4. uncovered for but a few
minutes"
Mr. Adde's seems unaware of the
fact that his cbuntrymen have dark
skins is conclusive evidence Of their
"unspeakable'' depravity. He >evi-

psychological works, "The Clans

earth, believe God himself drew a
distinction between whites and blacks
early in Genesis, where, speaking
through Noah, he said, referring TO

certainly indebted to Gov. Glenn for
this lucid explanation, and certainly

ed. The governor does not, however,
mention saloons and hotels, where
the most Of the. promiscuous associa-
ton takes place. The frequenters of
those places are not condemned by
the governor; it is the respectable
Afro-Amerlcan who sometimes visits
a theater and can afford to eat a meal
at a restaurant or pay his fare at a
hotel, who is obnoxious to him. The
kind of promiscuous association, OF
which the governor speaks, has never,
to any great extent, prevailed in any
| part of the country; the kind for
which he has no word of condemna-
ton is and has been for years one OF
the worst curses of the South And

just getting over big drunk when
he said: Cursed be Canaan THE
APPEAL has some doubt as to God
speaking through him.

A WHITE MANS COUNTRY?

According to the Washington Post,
John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi,
made the following utterance at the
Jamestown Exposition few days
since:
1T is the race which counts, not
the land. The white race, where it
keeps itself white, is great and has
enjoyed primacy, whether in Europe,
America, South Africa, or New Zea-
land. A hybrid race is great in no
land, on no soil, and under no sun.
It we are to retain as people the
heir of all ages in the foremost files
of time we. are to keep this a white
mans country, doing justice where
our laxity- amounting to crime
has already confronted us with race
problems, but anticipating other race
problems by preventing by law, and by
force if needful, the further invasion

mans to exclude Japanese shall re.

ever waged by u.s."
We desire to call attention to the
fact that Mr.. Williams carefully re
trained from mentioning the Indian
who is probably of the same race as
the Japanese, and, certainly, not Of
the white race. The reasons why the
eminent orator forgot to include the
other colored race are easily, seen

THE SPIRIT OF DIFFERENCE

The Nashville American publishes
a warm eulogy of ''Uncle" Lewis
Martin, who was for many years JAM
tor Of it's building, from which we
quote the following:
Gle lived through many changes
in The American of1ce-saw many
editors and reporters come and 60,
and served them all quietly, gently,
and with answering fidelity He
was the friend of all and all were his
friends. He set an example those Of
his race might we'll follow He
showed that Negro can command
confidence and respect and have
warm, enduring friends among the
whites. In The American family of
toilers there is sincere regret over
his death, for they. knew him as one
who did his duty long, honorab1y
and faithfully-and hero and gentle
man could do no more
He was honest, Industrious, faith
full, reliable and possessed that old
timed demeanor and spirit of defer
ence and respect that won respect
and friendship for him. He was an
ideal janitor."
The New York Times quotes the
foregoing and comments as follows:
"The ambitious Afro-American
product of a new age and new edu-
cation, will fix instantly on the word
difference" as full explanation of the
warmth with which the death of
"Uncle Lewis" is mourned, and
whether in wisdom or folly, who
shall say?-nay feel that the man
won the respect and friendship at a
higher price than he cares to pay"
THE APPEAL, whose editor may
perhaps be called ambitious, takes
pleasure in stating that the Times ex-
presses his feelings far better than
he himself could do
Said editor is, very glad to learn
that "Uncle Lewis" filled his low1y
SO admirably-so entirely to the sat
isfaction of the management of the
American. It was his duty and he
did it well. We include in the COM
mendation due difference to his ern-
ployers, for that was part, Of his

WHAT THE AFRO-AMERICAH,
IS DOING.

According to the testimony Of
some of his bitterest enemies, the
Afro-American is effecting some won
derful reforms in the. United States,
for which he should have due credit.
Senator Tillman says that he is
breaking the solid south, by leaving
Jim-crowdom and moving to Mary
land, West Virginia. and Missouri,
thereby swelling the Republican vote
in those border states and making
them reliably Republican.
Again according to the same kind
of testimony, he is the cause of the
adoption of the Prohibition theory
almost throughout the South.
Vive, pAfro-American.

FINE LOT OF PRESIDENTS.

The Richmond News-Leader boasts
IA little thus:
sWe never have had in the White
House a traitor or a thief or any oc-
cupant accused of immortality worse
than an occasional over-indulg in
liquor Three presidents, we believe
have been charged with drinking toe
much at times and in private, but
otherwise all have been men Of clean
personal character and honest and
chaste lives, certainly during their
terms Of Office
The foregoing is substantially true
and IS very creditable record for
our presidents, especially when. com
pared with the sovereigns Of Europe;
but there is one little error. One Of
our presidents was seen disgracefui1y
drunk l in public, upon. more than one
occasion Still heswassa man Of ex-
Icellent character. 81
