THE JEW AND THE AFRO-AMERI.
CAN,

Like the Afro-American, the Jew is
the object of a most unreasonable and
bitter prejudice, and his case presents
the striking pecularity that color is
not the cause of the prejudice, for the
Jew is of the same color as his perse-
cutors. "@.
1t is, however, a fact recognized and
acknowledged by very prominent
members Of the race that such a pref
udice does exist and manifest itself in
ways that are very detrimental and
disagreeable to members of the race.
A few days since, Mr.. Samuel AL
schuler, at the dedication of a syna-
gogue in Chicago, said: "There is
likely to be Jewish question in this
country, as there is in other countries,
unless the Jews of the United States
let it be plainly understood that they
do not condone or have the slightest
fellow-feeling for those comparatively
few Jews who have turned to vice, to
graft, or to other wrongdoing as a
source of income"
What the Jewish question in other
countries is may be inferred from the
recent anti.Jewish riots at Kieff, Rus
sia, which began on the Jewish new
The Appeal., 1909-11-13
THE TITANIC STRUGGLE AGAINST
White SUPREMACY.

Among the most interesting litera-
ture to be found in the great dailies
are the letters of such globe trotters
as Mr.. Frederick J. Haskin, who is
gathering much important informa-
tion as to doings all over the world.
In a recent letter Mr.. Hasl1in says:
I'm 1908, last year, the immigra-
tion into the Amur, according to Off
cial Russian figures, was more than
Ce0,000, and the total for this year is
expected to be 100000. This means
that in less than four years Russia
has placed almost 100000 settlers in
these undeveloped provinces, and the
work is proceeding at such a rate that
ten years will find 100000 Russians
domiciled here. That means that Rus
sia will do in ten years more than
England has done in Australia in a
century in the matter of building up
population"
The Interpretation which Mr.. Has
kin places upon! the above is as fol-
lows:
I'm this triangular fight for the con-
troll of Manchuria, this great empire
of the future, China has the right and
Russia and Japan have the might. A
greater Japan, a Japan the captain of
Asia leading the titanic struggle
against white supremacy on earth,
means the doom of Russian dreams. -
This Titanic struggle against white
supremacy is going on all over the
world. The white man has, hereto
fore maintained his supremacy by his
superior intelligence and organization;
but the -Asiatic nations are rapidly ap-
proximating to his standard. japan
has an army and navy at least equal
to those of many of the white nations
and as capable officers and statesmen
as any of them. The future is full of
promise for Asiatic races.

conducts banks, insurance comnanies

The paintings of Tanner are 'ehon-
ored'' by the Paris Salon and several
purchased by the French government;
the musical compositions of Cole
ridge Taylor are much in vogue in
the best society: and the Filipino
band, trained and led by an Afro
American, recently entertained the
elite of the capital of the United
States. It seems to THE APPEAL.
that the persons mentioned are not
lacking in capacity for self.elevation.
But looking at conditions in various
countries what do we see? What is
the condition of the Jews in Russia
the Armenians in Turkey-the Irish
in Great Britain-the Poles in their
own land? Very much like that of
the Afro-American in Mississippi, is
lit not?
1t IS very easy to deduce the con-
cluslOn that the nation most ad-
vanced in civilization, which the most
rapld-flre guns and Dreadnaughts can
so arrange matters that his less civ
ilized neighbor shall be incapable OF
self-elevation.

precedence over the Caucasian be-
cause by his ability he had won it.
Ability is what in the last hard
analysts fixes the status of a race or
an individual. The Japanese are not
white men. But we have ceased to
regard them as interiors. In fact our
race-exclusion mania is an admission
of the ability of both the Japanese
and the Chinese. At the bottom of
the phenomenon we are afraid of
them-afraid of their ability. There
is no need to worry over the future of
China and Japan-they have the abil-
ity, and will take high place as world
peoples.
Johnson's ability is, no doubt, on
low and brutal plane. He is only a
prizefighter. But he is champion
prizefighter of the world. To become
such he has shown qualities which
will make any Negro anywhere, and
the Negro race as a whole, successful,
when properly directed.
Those qualities are many, but prin-
cipally they are unremitting applica-
ton with diligence and industry to the
achievement of given goal, self-con-
troll, and the avoidance of the distrac-
tions of dissipation to which his race
is inclined. While Johnson was be-
coming a worlds champion he pur-
sued a course which would have made
him the champion barber, blacksmith.
carpenter, waiter or farmer of his
community. Any Negro anywhere
may reach eminence in peaceful ways
by using the Johnson method in his
particular trade or calling-as thou
sands of Negroes have done.
Johnson may lose his headship to
Jeffries. Every man, white or black,
is likely to meet his superior. But
the probabilities are that if he loses,
it will be because of certain depart
ures from the straight and narrow
way of which the world knows. John
son has at times the pleasures of the
moment to lure him from the right
path. He has broken training often,
after he became great, and has yield
ed to temptations to which the Negro
is perhaps more open than the white
man-and perhaps not. In the Ian
guage of the psychologist, he has
lacked inhibitory power. Let the Ne
gro race take to itself the lesson. The
lesson is: "Cultivate the inhibitory
faculties.' Learn self-control. Never
allow the pleasure of the moment to
obscure the greater object of making
the most of natures endowment. Do
these things, and you will not need to
bewail your state, and you will be an
aid to the uplifting of your race.
And for the white or yellow man
the rules are the same-the lesson of
Jack Johhson's signature holds good
for all men-and women.

in reality merely an attempt to rean-
mex Maryland to the Solid South by
giving the Democratic machine ma
jority of 10000 voters in Baltimore
and 10000 to $4,000 in the entire
state.
The atrocious proposition was
strenuously advocated by Senator
Rayner, at the very time when prom
inent members of his race were pro-
testing against the prescription of
Jewish females in the high-class SEM
inaries of Washington and when the
whole decent Jewish population of
Chicago was Indignantly denouncing
the degenerate members of the race

SELF-ELEVATlON,

The New York Times claims that
Negroes are lacking in capacity for
self-elevation, and cites Hayti, Libe-
ria and the Southern black belts as
illustrations of the correctness of it's
opinion.
Now, we. do not know that there is

coin at the bar of Illinois.
Like Lincoln, whom he resembles
physically, Senator Cullom has al
ways taken a great interest in the
Afro-American people. His record in
Illinois and in Congress shows that
he has stood right and voted right on
every question affecting the race.
Away back in the stormy days just
after the war, Senator Cullom voted
for the XIV and XIV Amendments and
Summers Civil Rights Bill, and it was
in great measure due to his efforts
that the "jim crow" amendment was
eliminated from the railroad rate bill
of 1906.
Recently certain newspapers have
endeavored to make it appear that
Senator Cullom, who voted for the
Fifteenth Amendment, was now in fa-
vor Of the disfranchisement Of the
Afro-Americans of the South, but the
he has been misrepresented in the
matter and asserts that he still
stands on his former platform of ab-
solute political and civil equality for
all citizens regardless of race. He
states that he is not in favor of the
curtailment of the rights of the Afro
American either civilly or politically.
In these days when so many public
men have changed their views in an
effort to cater to a vicious public
opinion, it is gratifying to know that
honest Shelby Cullom still stands by
his old ideals of right and justice and
has the courage to express them.
Loved and respected by the Afro
Americans of Illinois and the country,
Senator Cullom has further endeared
himself to them by his latest pro-
nouncement, that in a republic all cit
liens should be on an equality, civilly
and politically, without regard to race
or color.

year, and continued for three days.
More than SO Jews were killed, $50
were seriously injured, and more than
1000 severely hurt. The rioters COL
lected a number of Jewish women and
girls, stripped them naked, and drove
them through the streets, the onlook-
ers jeering and splitting at them.
And what the Jewish question is
right in the capital of the United
States may be inferred from a recent
occurrence, of which THE APPEAL
shall give some account as follows:
In Washington there are a number
of finishing schools" for females of
the most exclusive and aristocratic
character. Recently Rabbi Simon
made the discovery that Jewish fe-
males of great wealth and culture
were received with great reluctance
at these schools and in very small
numbers, and also learned that the
managers Of the schools were virtual
ly forced to prescribe the Jewish girls
on account of the prejudice of the
parents of the other girls. To admit
Jewish girls in large numbers would,
they thought, result in loss of the
patronage upon which the schools
mainly depended. The Washington
Herald refers to the facts brought to
light by Rabbi Simon as amazing and
deplorable" and that is certainly so
THE APPEAL. can mention another
fact which seems no less amazing
and deplorable,'' which is that a very
distinguished member of the pro
scribed race, Senator Rayner, of
Maryland, is making himself ridicu-
lously conspicuous in his efforts to in
fict prescription upon another race,
OF so damning a character as to make
the Washington episode a mere triv-
ialty. In other words, Senator Ray
ner is actually supporting the devilish
amendment to disfranchise all the
Afro-Americans of Maryland and
thereby justifying the action of the
Washington finishing schools in

The death of Major-General O. O..
Howard, the last civil war officer of
that rank, deprives the Afro-American
of one of his wisest friends and the
United States of one of her bravest
officers. He originated the Freed
mems Bureau and his name is perpet-
uated by the Howard University. His
religious convictions were intense and
his whole life was swayed by those
convictions. He dared to do right and

Shelby M. Cullom, Illinois Senior

o swindle the state in contracts

To swindle the state in contracts
seems to be regarded by contractors
to be an innocent, if not meritorius,
performance. We all know how Penn

sas is having no end of trouble with

stigmatizing his daughter as of an in
ferior caste, and refusing her admit
tance. The Senator could not make
much headway in rebuking the prin-
clpal of a finishing school, for pro-
scribing Jewish females, so long as
he is making such strenuous efforts
to prescribe thousands of intelligent,
worthy citizens of his own state.
The Appeal., 1909-11-13

In a recent interview it was made
to appear that Senator Shelby M. Cul-
lom, Illinois Senior Senator and grand
old man, favored disfranchising the
Afro-American in the South, but the
Senator explains that his remarks
have been misrepresented. To a rep
resentative of THE APPEAL, Sena-

insists that the Afro-American on an
