NV senior. He comes to see me twice

Advice To the LOveIOrn
HE IS NOT WORTH IT
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

~ EAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a
young girl, and I think a great
4 deal of a boy. who, I have very
good reason to believe, cared for me
until Just lately when a girl who L
thought was my best friend came home
from her vacation. This girl tried her
best to get him away from me, and as
she is more attractive, and better
dressed than ], she has succeeded The
boy still treats me in a courteous and
gentlemanly way That is all. I wish
YOU would tell me how 1 can W n back
his regard as L care for no one else.
Hurt
The friendship Of a boy that can be
won by the prettier face or attire of
another girl isn't worth the effort you
would have to make to keep it.
Call your pride to your rescue, and
show him you don't care for him.

The state of California seems bound
to be Of some assistance finally in
settling the status of the railroad
porter insofar as tipping has been
made part Of his income. The Pull
man Company pays the porter $27.50
per month for services and the State
of California considers this altogether
too small a wage upon which a man
can live. Just how much the Pullman
Company expects the public to pay
per month to each porter to make up
the balance of the wage ofSthe porter
and just what the company estimates
that balance to be, and whether or
not the Pullman Company cannot find
enough money to pay the porter a
living wage out of the enormous
"dividends" and melons," which are
cut and distributed almost yearly to
the stockholders, are some of the
main matters which will be brought
to light by the proposed investigation.
TO this might be added the query as
to how much of the linen Of the COM
pany is paid for out of the regular
monthly deductions for 'lost linen"
from the porter's "princely" monthly
wage?

AFRO-AMERlCAN RIGHT WORD.

We congratulate our up-to-date con-
temporary the Chicago Defender on
it's new make up" 1t is chock full
Of news and presents fine appearance.
We are especially pleased that the
Defender has adopted the word Afro
American as a racial designation. 1t
is shame that it is necessary in this
alleged land of the free to differentiate
between Americans, but it is true.
Who has not been disguised by the
use of the word Negro with a small
''n'' as is almost invariably the case
in the daily newspapers. Although
the words Jew, Mexican, Filipino,
Chinaman, Japanese are always CAPT.
African blood have been described as
talized, Americans of more or less
negroes" and "negresses,'' as if they
were wild animals.
In view of the fact that not more
than one-third of the Americans of
African descent are of pure Negro
blood it follows that the word Negro
is not correct, while Afro-American
would include people of various per-
centages of admixture and if generally
adopted the daily papers would be
compelled to capitalize it. The word
Afro-American has been used by THE
APPEAL for thirty years.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.

The Afro-Americans in Atlantic City
who are bending every energy to get
jimcrow principal for their jimcrow
school ought to be in better business.
They are making a great mistake. In
stead of extending jimcrowism they
ought to fight it and have the jim
crow school abolished as it is contrary
to the laws Of the state of New Jersey.
Segregation NEVER plays. Perhaps
the children of the men who are agi-
tating this matter will curse them in
the days to come and they will be
justified in doing SO.
Any man who at any time justifies
and fights for the segregation of his
people from other American citizens
is not only an enemy OF his race but
he is also an enemy of the Republic
Caste begets caste. If the Afro-Ameri.
can people are segregated why not the
Jews next? Then perhaps some
numerically weak class of citizens of
foreign birth. Then perhaps the rich
and the poor will be separated in the
schools. Who knows? .+..
The jimcrow agitators of Atlanta
City are playing with fire.

BEGGARS WHO HARM

Just now the North is overrun by
Afro-American beggars, who are col
lecting contributions for colleges and
universities, which are alleged to have
been organized for the "uplift" of the
race.
The Rev. H. O. T. Hamphat, A. NJ,
D. D., Phi. D., of Mussel Creek, Okla
homa; Ketchuman Cheatem, A NJ, D.
D., D.. c. L., of Heavenly View, Mis-
sissippi; the Very Reverend A. S. S.
Gobbleumup, P. D. O., of Bear Wal
low, Georgia, and host of other wor-
thies with queer names, weighted
down with a string of degrees, con-
ferred by some 2x4 university, hailing
from strange towns, are telling of the
wonderful work they are doing for
their people and incidentally asking
for cash to continue their operations.
THE APPEAL does not object to
the collection of funds for proper edu-
cational purposes but is opposed to
some of the methods of these unctuous
collectors, who are evidently more in
terested in providing food and drink
and raiment for their own fat and
sleek bodies than in uplift work.
In order to curry favor with the
whites, they make false and disgust
ing statements in their speeches,
praise their Southern oppressors, up
hold segregation and laud their own
degradation. If the South is so at
tractive as they picture it, they ought
to stay there and not come North to
injure their brethren by their jim
crow utterances -- 60. a
They have done ilcalculable harm
in the North and they teach the same
stuff in their schools that they talk
when on this side of Mason and
Dixon's line. God help the students
under their control. 3d.. M.

COMPLIMENTS THE PRESS.

At the splendid meeting which was
held by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
at Baltimore, May 8, 4, 5, they paid the
Afro-American Press the compliment
of unanimously, a resolution presented
by Mr.. Charles T. Mailman, chairman
of the Press Committee viz:
"The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People recog-
nizes the value of the work which the
Negro Press has been doing for years,
and that, against great odds for the
upbuilding of colored people of this
country and the development Of race
consciousness. In those parts of the
country where the white press is in a
conspiracy of silence regarding the
wrongs suffered by the colored people,
the Negro press has been the only
agency to voice complaint and appeal
for redress of grievances. The Assoc
citation wishes for the Negro press an
increase in prosperity and influence

ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST.


A number of colored newspapermen
met recently in Nashville, Tenn, and
among other things decided not to
protest against segregation lowing to
the changing attitude of the Southern
whites"
The attitude is undoubtedly chang
ing but it is for the worse. There
were more lynchings in 1913 than in
1912; the unjust franchise laws are
still in force; segregation in the gov
eminent service is matter of fact;
ghettos are being established in many
Southern cities; the. jimcrow car is
still running; discriminating laws are
being enacted by "our good friends"
in the Southern legislatures. Thou
sands of wrongs are being done every
day. .' .s.-. 4 ...
F. THE APPEAL believes that the
newspaperme have made very SER
ious mistake in this the greatest crisis
since the civil war. We should al
ways protest against wrong It is not
necessary to use violent or abusive
language; protest may be couched
in courteous terms.
The principal mission of the colored
press is to aid in righting the wrongs
of the race. If it fails to do this
there is really no excuse for it's eX-
istence. -"

Afro-American woman without protec-
ton and an easy prey to vicious men
of the white race. If there is to be
any mixing of the races it ought to
be done legitimately in Christian mar
rage and not in an immoral manner.
It is not the proper function of the
Government to draw lines of invidious
distinction between it's various classes
of citizens and place on the statute
books a law which in effect brands
one group of citizens as unfit, CHASING
it with imbeciles, idiots, detectives, de-
generates and criminals.
And then there is another point of
view. The mixing which has already
taken place has not resulted in de-
generate specimens of manhood The
first blood spilled in the Revolutions
airy War was that of mixed-blood
|-Crispus Attacks. Frederick Doug
lass, one Of Americas greatest orators,
a patriot and statesman was of
mixed-blood. DR.. w. E. B. Dubois,
the great literateur and sociologist, is
a mixed-blood. DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington, the great industrial educator, is
a mixed-blood. H. Y. Tanner; the great
artist whose pictures have been pur-
chased by the French Government and
now hang in the Louvre, is mixed
blood. DR.. Daniel H. Williams, one
of the worlds greatest surgeons and
who was the first man surgeon in all
the world to operate successfully on
the human heart, is mixed-blood.
THE APPEAL could name thousands
of other mixed-bloods of whom Amer
lea may we'll be proud. ~
Every Afro-American in the United

power to prevent the passage of the

and ask him to vote against and work
against every jim-crow Bill now in
