If eVerV AfrO-American in thic

If every Afro-American in this coun-
try would get a copy of the New York
Evening Journal Of Dec IL, 1909 and
read the reply the editor made to Mr..
J. c. Jemmott they would be much
helped up. Mr.. Jemmott> wrote: 81
wish you to write an editorial telling
us what you think is the primary
cause of the supremacy and superior
excellence Of the white mans civiliza-
ton over that Of the other races of
the earth" AS the editorial replying
is copyrighted we cannot give it in it's
entirety, but the opening sentence is
as follows: ITO begin with, we do
not see any superior excellence of
the white mans civilization, or any
other" And then he gives him two
columns along the same line. Get the

INCONSISTENT AMERICANS.

A number Of eminent Americans re-
Gently cabled the Russian premier be-
speaking "a fair trial, open and pub
lie, in accordance with the time-hon-
ored principles of justice in all ma
lions" for two distinguished Russian
prisoners on the eve of being brought
to bar in that country on political
charges.
Commenting on the foregoing, the
Evening Star suggests that the Rus
sian premier might reply as follows:
Gentlemen: 1 have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your cable
expressing solicitude for two Russian
prisoners soon to go on trial on DO
litical charges. You ask that the pro-
ceedings be conducted in accordance

LYNCH LAW NEVER JUSTIFlA-
BILE.

We have constantly contended that
lynchinSs are never justifiable, and
our contention is frequently sustained
by the facts that subsequently come
to light when the victim of the mob's
thirst for blood is beyond rescue. And,
we are not alone in our position in
regard to lynching. Referring to a
recent lynching, the Rochester Dem
ocrat and Chronicle has this to say:
BURNED FOR SELFDEFENSE.
1T appears now that John Howard,
the Negro who was burned at the
stake in Georgia a few days ago for
shooting a white man whose automo-
bile frightened mis- mules, was not the
murderer the mob took him to be.
Booth, the white merchant who was
shot, first drew his weapon and fired
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1910-01-08

at Howard, who then returned the fire.
Both were shot, but the Negro sue
ceeded in getting away, while Booth
had to be taken to the hospital. The
mob. however, did not stop to investi-
gate, but proceeded to inflict horri-
BILE fate upon the Negro who, evident
ly, acted in self-defense. That is the
inevitable result of lynch law. Under
it's operations justice is impossible,
substituted for civilization. There is
no reason to suppose that the guilty
murderers of that Georgia horror will
ever be brought to justice"
Lynch law must go!

For many years Americans have
been endeavoring to introduce into
Cuba the hellish race prejudice which
exists in this country. Last Sunday
night two Afro-Cuban members of
Congress were refused drinks at the
Hotel Plaza, an American house in
Havana. Monday the clerk Of the no.
tel was arraigned in court and fined
$40, and now all corners are served.
A Cuban newspaper commenting on
the episode, says: Cali blacks and
whites in Cuba are on a plane of alb
solute equality The Americans must
be taught by the strong arm of the

FORCED CONFESSIONS.

The Washington Post says: ".
Another of the laws invasions OF
the rights of the citizen and an infa
sions Of the rights of the citizen and
an Infamous perversion of justice is
the latitude which is allowed peace
officers in forcing confessions or ca
jolling damaging admissions from
prisoners who are yet to be indicted
and tried. This practice has become
gross abuse"
Especially is this true in the case
of "outrages' on females in the South
and consequent lynchings. Whenever
we hear Of lynching down South we
are also told Of a confession by the
victim. 1t is almost needless to say
that the confessions are nearly al
ways forced and really amount to
nothing. The practice is too gross an
abuse TO be longer tolerated.

THE UNITED STATES NOT SU-
PERIOR.

All true patriotic Americans are, of
course, impressed with the idea that
things of all kinds are so vastly SUI
perior tc those of the same kind which
exist in other parts of the world that
they will be surprised to learn that
an Intelligent citizen Of Boston who
just returned from tour of Europe
found that in some respects the idea
is by no means correct. The gentle
man in question visited an European
city about the size Of Boston and had
the curiosity to wish to see the slums
Of the city. He relates as follows:
There were no streets swarming, as
in large American cities, with children
who had no other place to stay. The
streets on which these homes were
located We're as clean as in the most

Several prominent Jews have ap-
peared before the immigration Com
mission for the purpose Of protesting
against the use of the word 'He-
brew" in the reports of that body.
They claim that the title is mis-
homer. However the title is by no
means so ridiculous as the use of the
word NEGRO" to describe a class OF
people who are very far from being
Negroes in the real sense of the word.
