WHY NOT SWAP?

Los Angeles: A project to estab-
lish large colony of Negroes in
Southern California is being promot-

to seek state incorporation. One Of
the promoters is Lieut.. Col. Aliens

The significance of the above. is
that if the project succeeds OUR

The strongest evidence THE APP
PEAL has seen of the wonderful
progress which civilization is making
in the United States is the fact that
Jackson, the metropolis of Breathitt
county, Kentucky; is to be illuminat-
ed by electric lights.
1t is interesting to learn that this
Improvement was brought about as
follows: w..
Under the >Hargis- Callahan donli-
nation there were no street lights at
all. It was often necessary to wait
for broad daylight to get bead on
a marked man AS the Louisville
Courier Journals remarks; .Of course,
there we're moonlight nights when a
man might be hit fla shotgun could
be conveniently secured; but moon
light half revealing, half concealing,,
the target IS misleading, and there is
always the danger of. mistaken iden-
tity and filling an old and tried friend
with your buckshot.''

serve an indeterminate term of from
one to fourteen years. If he had
been allowed to serve out his term
Mrs Grant would be alive, and the
Chicago police would not be hunting
blindly for the murderer, following
tip "clews' which the public is as

If the case of this villain-)had led

SOME OTHER BRUTEs."


THE APPEAL recently gave
sketch of some of the brutes who
made the Jimcrow laws of Arkansas,
and we supplement that shameful rec,
ord by telling about their fellow ruff
fans, the Jimcrowists of Alabama.
An exchange says:
From the reports OF the closing
hours of the Alabama legislature,
printed in the Mobile Register, that
right honorable body resolved itself
into bowling mob of drunken idi-
OTIS, Will! which the reporters for the
daily papers were ashamed to associ-.
ate. And these drunken debauchers
are the people that we should honor!
ANY paper that criticises the degen-
crates who thus disgrace themselves
and degrade civilization should be
promptly suppressed"
And every one of those drunken
idiots can make your hair stand on
end by descanting upon the depravity
Of the Afro-American.
The leniency shown by the author
tiles to great criminals no doubt ac-
counts for much Of the crime which
IS committed in the United States.

"DEBAUCHERY OF THE ELEC-
TORATE."

Citizens representing both political
parties have formed, in Talbot coun-
ty, Md, an Anti-Bribery League, an
action which is warmly commended
by that influential Democratic Jour
nal, the Baltimore Sun. That journal
deplores the "debauchery of the cleo
,torate' without investigating its ori-
gin. But everybody knows that that
debauchery, if it did not originate in
the efforts to eliminate the vote Of
the Afro-American by the South, was
greatly promoted thereby, SO that the
whole South is reaping harvest Of
its own sowing. 1t has been taught
that it was a most patriotic and com
mendable thing to defraud the Afro
American Of his right to vote, at the
expense Of training up a whole gen
