Killen was born in Pittsburg

In 1893 Killen won 80 games

something more than suspicion

A GREAT RACE DEFENDER.

Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., pastor Of
the Institutional A. M. E. Church, Chi
cago, Is looming up these days as the
greatest advocate of the rights of the
race in the Northwest.
He has held meetings, presented
resolutions, memorials and petitions
against racial segregation by the FED
eral government and has caused hun
dreds of persons to write letters of
protest to President Wilson.
Recently he was selected to repre-
sent the Afro-American people at the
Centennial Of the Battle of Lake Erie
and how well he did the work is shown
on the first page of this issue where
the full text of his speech may be
found.
He was selected by the Chicago
Jews as the most suitable person to
represent the colored race at the Jew
ish protest meeting held there last
Sunday. He made characteristic
speech comparing the Afro-Americans
to the Jews. His address was so vel
received that he was invited to speak
at an overflow meeting, where it was
acknowledged he made the best speech
of the day. 1t was an impassioned
appeal for justice to the Jews who arr

His remarks were greeted with deaf

posed principally OF Jews.

those who were in former years ready
to defend their people and the large

The ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907. to the end Of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory. 81
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is a British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among otaer things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con-
ditions in the United States and the
West Indies," he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. 1
do not expect them to adopt the meth
DDS of missionaries, nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human
itarian and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian.
! Were race differentiation held to it
must increase civil discord. When the
balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but I am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.
II do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combina-
ton between humans in healthy
national life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man as we'll
as the black"

81 SEE AND / AM SATISFIED"

81 SEE AND AM SATISFIED"
A recent number of the New York
Independent contains an article by
Professor Kelly Miller of Howard
University entitled, Il see and l am
satisfied" It is resume of race his
tory and the professor expresses him
self as being greatly pleased with
what has been accomplished since his
advent on earth about fifty years ago
and with conditions as they are today.
Prof. Miller is nearer that great seat
of American prejudice-the National
Capital than the writer, but out here
in Minnesota THE APPEAL is inclin-
ed to regard the Miller view as some
what distorted.
It is joke to say that the American
heart will beat true to the higher i'm
pulse. Christianity is all right until
it strikes the color line and then it is
a farce. Kelly Miller is black man
but even he does not realize the re-
morseless, unrelenting prejudice which
resides in the average Caucasian
heart.
The professors soul "abounds with.
reinsurance and hope just as orders
have been issued by government off,
Gals which say that white and colored
employees must be separated in the
toilets.
BY the way-did not the professor
about fifteen years ago suggest "self-
placement as the solution of the race
problem?
With the United States government
segregating his race, with the various
states enacting jimcrow laws, with the
Christian church ordering Afro-Amer-
lean worshipers from the House of
God, with innocent colored men still
the victims of mob murder, with hun
dreds of thousands of Caucasian
mothers instilling race prejudice into
their prattling babes, with Bishops of
Christian church telling the country
that Acknowledgement was crime and
United States Senators demanding the
repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment,
Kelly Miller is satisfied!

Against Race Segregation. = Cause

Special to THE APPEAL.
Washington, Oct. %. :
Three thousand American citizens
of both races gathered at Metropol-
itan A. M. e. Church last night and
voiced mighty protest against the
un-American and un-Christian pol
icy of the Wilson administration in
segregating the Afro-American en-
ployes of the government and the eff
fort to establish a system of caste in
this country. The crowd was so great
that it finally became necessary to
close the doors and several thousand
were unable to gain admittance. An
overflow meeting was held in the
street which was addressed by Prof.
Tunnel of Howard University. The
crowd called for Rev. Walter H.
Brooks and he also delivered a
speech denouncing the segregation
plan.
Oswald Garrison Willard, editor of
the New York evening Post, was the
principal speaker at the meeting In
the church. Mr.. Willard bitterly de-
nounced segregation. He said in part:
Under the very shadow of the cap
itol monstrous unwritten edict has
gone forth that the employees Of the
Nation with dark skins shall be set
apart at their work; that there shall
be introduced caste among Federal
employees, based not upon efficiency,
or lack Of efficiency, but purely upon
physical attributes.
Asked to Keep colored People Cool.
II have personally been appealed
to by high authority to do my best
to keep the colored people in cool
and just equipoise.'
1T is beyond me to influence them
much in this direction, but would

kind, whether it be against Jew OF

THE REPUBLICS SHAME.

For the first time in the history of
the United States, the machinery of
the government of 9O,OO0,000 people is
being used to humiliate and degrade
100000 of its loyal and law-abiding
citizens.
In some of the departments of the
Federal Government at Washington
Afro-American employees have been
segregated from their former associ-
ates and fellow workers and ordered
to use separate retiring rooms. In
some instances cages have been built
to separate Afro-American and white
government clerks. No other class is
Obliged to bear this badge of degrade
ton.
There Is no warrant in law for these
orders Of subordinate officials. The
facts have been brought to the atten-
ton Of the Department heads and
thousands of petitions, memorials and
letters have been sent to President
Wilson, but up to this writing he has
not seen fit to rescind this Infamous
un-American policy.
The clerks who have been humiliat-
ed by the segregation orders are in no
sense wards of the government. They
have won their places by examina.
tons in competition with white men
and women and the government which
they have so faithfully and efficiently
served has no right to place upon
them this badge of dishonor.
1t is not question of social equality
that chimera which so many Caucas
ians claim to fear, but Of civil equality
which is the right Of every citizen.
Heretofore the attempts to degrade
the citizenry have been the work Of
individual states in the Southern tier
the Federal Government must be hell
responsible for this new attempt t.
