The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1907-08-17

Anglo-Saxonizing this country, and
now it appears that the Syrian has en-
tered the ring, as shown by the re-
cent engagement of son of the des-
ert to the daughter of an American
millionaire.
Now if the times are so cut Of
joint in New York that son of the
desert can WOO and win a million
ares daughter, it sets a fearfully bad
example for the lower classes. And
there seems to be a principle in hu-
man nature which inclines to misceg-
nation. For instance, Lafcadio Hearn
consorted first with. an Afro-Amerl
can, then with a Japanese woman.
Lord Beresford had a woman of the
Atro-Amcrlcan race who claimed to
be his common law wife, and who
had to be bought off by his heirs. We
have become somewhat accustomed
to having the Jew, the Chinaman
and the Jap contributing to the elm
ination OF "Anglo-Saxon" supremacy,
but when the Syrian joins in this dia-
bol1cal work we can only exclam, E.
tn, Brute.

THE DEVIL ON THE NOUN
TAIN.

In recent sermon, Bishop Will
liam F. Mcdowell of Chicago said:
The industrial solution is not the
real solution of the race question, for
there must be a moral element in it.
Several years ago I visited theolog-
ical school in Atlanta, where there
were several hundred Afro-American
students. Recently I revisited the
same school and found that it's mem
bership had dropped to forty, while
medical school situated across the
street had risen in membership in
corresponding ratio. This l regard
as an unfortunate symptom of the
moral element in the present condi-
ton of the race question"
THE APPEAL is constrained to
call attention to the fact that the
more we strive to maintain the SUI
premacy and blood-purity of the An
glo-Saxon in this country, the more
it seems to be threatened by various
people who are not Anglo-Saxon.
THE APPEAL is by no means so
presumptious as to pretend to know
what an Anglo-Saxon is any more
than other folks do, but it presumes
that Syrian is not of that race. For
some time the Jews, Japanese, Chi
nese and other Asiatics have been de-

whether the marvellous achievements

So far as the Bishops argument
implies that the church, or anything
else, will have any important inhu-
cnce N solving the problem of the
Afro-American. that does not include
endowing him with and protecting
him in all the rights of an American
citizen, it IS merely delusive fancy.
The Afro-American is engaged in a
battle for his civil and political rights
as guaranteed by the Constitution OF
the United States, and will not be
satisfied otherwise than by their en-
jov1nent all over the country.
When he sees the men who are
robbing him of all these rights com
ing to him as church and offering
him salves and emollients and poul-
tees, he politely Crins and inwardly
reflects about the time when the
Devil took the Savior up onto a high
mountain and said, "All this will I
give you If :"

The Bows of the Family,

According to some curious investiga-
tons conducted by English scientists
eldest sons tend to be criminals and
youngest sons paupers. A great many
thousand school children and many
family histories have been examined
to yield these results First-born chill
dren were found to be, as a rule, taller
and heavier, with greater ability and
endurance than the others. This is in
accordance with the popular feeling in
many countries that the oldest child is
superior to the others and deserving
of special privileges. It is we'll es-
tablished fact that among men of
genius an undue proportion are eldest
sons =

The Board of Education of Nash
vile, Tenn, has announced that only
Negroes who are born, bred and ed
ucated in the south will hereafter be
appointed to positions in the public
schools of that city as they are
thought to be more in accord with
southern traditions and sentiments.
The foregoing is illustrative of the
extent to which sect;onalism is diving
out in the South as we are assured it
is by doughfaced journals. The fact
is that the South never loses an op-
pc'rtunity to give the North slap.
The southern legislation against rail-
roads IS based upon the fact that
those roads are regarded as Northern
institutions which are levying tribute
upon the south or draining its life
blood. And much of the other
Southern legislation is born of the
same feeling.

by Jeff Davis. The h;ll-billy faction
has sworn vengeance against all rep
resentatives Of the opposing faction
and has carried it out in the cases of
Wade Hampton, Clark Howell, Ber-
ry and Carmack, besides making a
vicious swipe at Bailey. Now, if the
Demented-ocracy should nominate a
'high-collared rooster" he would
lose the electoral vote of his own
state to a dead, moral certainty; for
the "red-necks" would rather vote for
the old scratch than for him. The
result would be to split the Southern
Democratic party into molecules, or
perhaps atoms.
