HAS THE RIGHT IDEA.

l = q
F. O. Stratton an Afro-Americar
resident of Hillside, N. Y, is the only
KNOWN man of the race living in the
village. He is member of the board
of health, secretary of the village i'm
| provement society, registrar of vital
! statistics and village trustee. AS
there are no other Afro-Americans in
Hillside it is evident that Stratton
was elected to his many places of
responsibility by his white fellow
citizens. e. .
Mr.. Stratton lives in a bungalow
called Sunset, with wide verandas and
pretty rooms and the parlor is full of
books and art objects. ..
Mr.. Stratton is levelheaded on one
important subject-he is opposed to
colonization of his race.
ut is not wise for the Afro-Ameri-
can to colonize, especially in the
North" he says. "The young men
should be urged to take their families
away from the cities and into the
country. Each should 60 quietly into
some small community, if possible
where there are no other Afro-Ameri-
cans or only few at least, and then,
by living clean, thrifty life and &C.
curing property, working hard at
some occupation that he is fitted to
do, and win the respect of his white
neighbours
1.-THE Afro-American is always bet
tered by living among white people,
and neither he nor the white man is
bettered by the establishment of Negro
colonies The best interests of the
Afro-American are advanced by the
constant example of the white peoples
thrift and manner of living, and not
by the example of other Negroes in
large colonies. "
1T is not a special mark of distinc-
ton that my .neighbors, all white, have
made me an officer of their village.
But would be less than human if
did not appreciate their kindness. I
am glad, however, if the establishing
of my little. home shows in any way
what a colored man may do.
Il came to the country to live be-
cause wanted to remove my children
from the unfavorable conditions of
crowded tenement life and the vicious
idlers of my race.
81 came here with the idea of not
being dlscord in the social and po-
litical life of the new community, in
tending to be a good neighbor, doing
all that good citizen should to ad-
vance the best interests of the com.
munity, supporting always the best
man for office, regardless of politics.
That they have elected me to office is
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1911-06-17

perhaps due to the fact that others
have been too busy to do the work
That I accepted was because desired
to be of service to my neighbors and
repay them for the courtesy they have
shown me- The improvement asocia-
ton is composed of practically the
whole body of taxpayers"
The short sighted Afro-American,
who insist upon segregating them
selves could do great deal by getting
little information about the success
of Mr.. Stratton. THE APPEAL has
always contended that the best way
to settle the so-called race problem
is for one or two Afro-American
families to settle in white commune
ties. The benefits of Negro colony
are outweighed by it's many disad-
vantages. .-.. d.. ...

HARRIET BEEcHER STOWE.


All over the United States this
week, Afro-Americans have been cele-
brating the one-hundredth anniversa-
ry of the birth of the author of "Un-
Gle Toms Cabin" the greatest Amer
lean work of prose fiction. No book
ever written has approached it in the
influence it had on the history of it's
time.
1t was fiction and yet it was found
ed on fact. Every incident set forth
in the wonderful story has a basis
of actual fact. There are thousands
OF former slaves living today who
have experienced the conditions as
narrated by Mrs. Stove. Thousands
of black men and yellow men, many
of whom were sons of their masters
by slave women, there are, whose
backs bear the marks of the masters
cruel lash.
Many things contributed to the final
overthrow of slavery, but the most
powerful influence was Mrs. Stoves
portrayal of the woes of Uncle Tom,
which awoke the slumbering con-
sciences of the people, and in little
more than ten years after the APP
pearance OF the book, the blot of slav-
