The Appeal., 1911-04-29
LINcoLN's FRIEND SAVED.

Forty-seven years ago Abraham Lin
coin wrote a personal letter to the
postmaster general asking him to en-
ploy Miss Susan Dugger, a young
woman Of Carlinsville, ILL.,, who was
the sole support of her brother, a
union soldier, crippled at Shiloh. Miss
Dugger got a position and preserved
the letter religiously. Secretary Mac
Veagh after reading the same letter a
few days ago ordered that Miss Dug
gers name be kept on the treasury's
list of employees, though she has been
i'll for more than a year. When an
employe has been absent without pay
that length of time it is customary to
strike the name from the roll.
Senator Cullom showed the letter to
Secretary MacVeagh, who promised
that Miss Dugger may have her old
position, if she is ever able to work
again. She is now 70 years old. She
is an expert in detecting counterfeit
money. Il: ~.

Chinese descent into the United
States be made to apply to Jap
anese, Koreans, Tartars, Malays, Al
East Indians, Lascars, Hindus,
and all persons of Mongolian or, AS
iatic race or extraction.
1t is further provided by the bill
that all persons affected by the pro-
posed law now in the United States,
other than those engaged as teachers,
students, merchants, bankers, pro-
fessional men, or persons touring
the country for pleasure, must, with
in year after the passage of the act,
apply to the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor for a certificate of resi-
dence. All such persons who have
not a certificate of residence will be
arrested and be subjected to depor.
tation. Of course the bill will not
pass this Congress but it is interest
ing as an evidence of the growth of
color prejudice.

Jesus Christ came preaching the
Kingdom of Heaven among men. He
came cal to set up His government with
the Ten Commandments as the pill
lars Of the temple of justice. He
came to set forth the magma charta
OF the worlds hope in the beatitudes.
He came to establish the Golden Rule
as the principle to govern the rela-
tlons Of men. There is one mortal
enemy whose domination over the
hearts OF men must yet be broken.
The perfect love that casts out all.
fear yet has sway. AS long as men
are fearful they will be unbelieving,
as long as they are subject to fear
they will lack spiritual force and
courage. AS long as timidity preys
upon them they will not have the
spirit OF Him who entered Jerusalem
saluted by song that He might pass
into the shadows of Gethsemane over
borne by sorrow. Hence, it is that
'AAS ehAA6S SIS1udi Ill uuudu 1ll0, III
human hope, in human character
are the things that are brought forth
by Jesus Christ to dominate men in
their personal lives, in their domestic
relations, in their. civic associations,
in their religious purposes. The
nigh glory OF Palm Sunday is the
chief honor Of the church. The
church has no cause for being save
as the temple of safety and salvation,
OF succor and blessing
In view of the conditions which
exist in Baltimore it seems mockery
for the paper to print such matter.
Jesus Christ has never been able
to get into Baltimore, the Golden
Rule has no place in the ethics of the
Inhabitants of that city reeking with
injustice, inhuman;ty and brutal race
prejudice. The things brought forth
by Jesus Christ do not dominate the
,nen of Baltimore in their personal
lives or their civic associations and
that is proved by the Infamous seq
rngation law just enacted by the city
fathers of Ma1yland's metropolis.

A BILLIONAiRE.

- .
A suit involving a billion dollars
has been filed in the Court of Claims
at Washington by Elbert R. Robin
son, an AZ 'o-American of Chicago,
ILL.,, in which the government is
made defendant.
The action involves the patent
rights of an electric signal system
which Robinson claims were granted
him by the government, and which
he claims have been infringed by
other patents.
Robinson, who is an attorney, will
argue his own case when it comes
up before the court on Monday
If Robinson wins he will have the
distinction of being the first Afro
American Millionaire.
Miss Estelle Arnold of this city,
who is visiting Mrs. Charles J. Pick
EFT in Washington, D. c., was given
a swell reception by her hostess last
Friday evening It was attended by
the elite of Washington.

pos d to the young women, as DR..
Schurman's letter points out. He
writes that he has received two pc
titions on the subject.
Zone of these petitions," he says,
'signed by 269 women students,
begged that we deny the application
for admission which you have recent
ly received from two Afro-American
women students; the other petition
signed by 80 women students, objec-
ted to this discrimination"
DR.. Schurman continues:
"Afro-American students have re-
sided in Sage College in the past, and
I do not see any good reason why
that policy should be changed. AT
Cornell all university doors must re-
main open to all students, irrespec-
tive of race or color, or creed or So
cial standing, or pecuniary condition
The last Afro-American woman stud.
ent who resided in Sage College
writes me that she was politely and
CONSIDERABLY treated by the women
students, and that these years O.
residence in Sage College were the
happiest of her life.
Though I am compelled to deny
the petition of the 269 women stud
ents, have not particle of doub
that they will make the lives of tn,
two incoming students equally hap
py."
The two Afro-American student
who applied unsuccessfully las
year, and whose renewed application
forced the issue this year, are Ros,
Vassar, of Lynchburg, Va, and Pau
line Ray, of Geneva.

OF the Wasp, two French papers
published in New Orleans, met on

eyes and of course under the Louisi-

The State Department will nc

The State Department will not
countenance the exclusion of Afro
American immigrants from Canada.
In response to inquiries it is learned
that there was no Canadian law or
regulation excluding members of the
race not in prohibited classes and
each the possessor of $25 cash and
transportation. So Afro-Americans
who are oppressed in the South may
find homes in the great Canadian
Northwest, if they have the money.

Rev. Lyon of Baltimore, who made
an address favoring the. race segre-

In a recent speech at the Delaware
Conference of the M. E. Church at
Philadelphia, said the brotherhood

lea, and suggested Africa as the
proper place for. the Afro-Americans.
Bro. Lyon was there for many years,
why did he not remain?

One of the trustees of Roanoke Col

in a certain history used in the col
lege, although it is a textbook in
sixty colleges, fifteen fthem in the
South. Strange to say the history was
sustained by the trustees as body;
the lone trustee continues to howl.
Shareholders rebellion" is undoubted-
ly the correct term for the war be-
tween the North and the South.

The southern. papers are full of a

a sad commentary on the barbarous
