TURKEYS GREAT COUP.

That was neat coup executed by
Turkey. Seeing that the time was
opportune she has by a stroke of the
pen abolished the obnoxious system OF
extraterritoriality @and declared her:
self supreme in her own house.
The principle of extraterritoriality
has been very exasperating to the
Turks. The alleged "Christian'
powers, because the Turks are Of Ash.
attic origin and Mohammedans, assume
that they were unable to handle their
own affairs and compelled them by
force of their superior warships to
submit to the indignity of allowing
consular courts of the various powers
to take the place of the regular Turk
ish courts. Then Great Britain, Rus
STA, Germany, France, Austria and
Italy established branch postofices in
the various cities of the Ottoman EN-.
pire for the use of foreigners and in
order to compete with these usurping
establishments the Turks were
obliged to sell stamps at prices below
the regular postal union rates. The
subjects of the great powers were
treated with more consideration than
Turkish citizens and exempt from tax.
alton = d."
The situation was almost unbear-
able, but the outrageous condition was
backed by the combined navies of
Europe so what could the poor Turks,
who had but few bum battleships,
do? When they voiced strong pro-
tests against the injustice OF the
thing, the Christian powers simply
pointed to their warships. ~. ~
Then came a change. The great
Christian powers began to spring at
each others threats and while they
were engaged in the delightful pas
time of numbering men with machine
guns, Turkey, which is now ruled by
the Young Turks" who have modern
lied court procedure and brought the
tribunals Of justice up to date, seized
the opportunity to put an end to all
unjust and humilating conditions and
put one over" on the Christians.

The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-10-10

One of the biggest lies ever printed
can press. 1t is to the effect that the
Jews have never fought prejudice, but
have succeeded by allowing them
selves TO be kicked and booted about
without protest, being too busy annex
ing the Almighty Dollar to be dis
turbed by prejudice.
In the language of the street, that is
bunk, just bunk.
AS a. matter of fact, the Jews are
continually fighting prejudice in every
way possible, quietly and openly. They
have strong organizations and do not
hesitate to use their power against
their enemies. Because A. T. Stewart,
once merchant prince and owner OF
the Grand Hotel at Saratoga Springs,
N. Y, refused to accommodate Jews at
his hotel they ruined his dry goods
business. That was forty years ago.
Not satisfied with that, they visited
their wrath upon his successors, H. 3.
Clafin & Co., recently and put the
firm out of business. 1t required forty
years to complete the job, but they
never allowed the thought, 1--WE can't
do it," to enter their minds. THEY
DID 1T.
Numbers of hotel proprietors have
been financially ruined because they
dared to discriminate against the
Jews.
The Jews also recognize the power
of public opinion so they have formed
a national organization to fight
single thing misrepresentation Of the
Hebrew people on the stage and it is
their policy to put out of business any
theater manager who permits actors
to extensively assail or burlesque the
Jews.
There are other organizations to
fight specific abuses. One organlza-
ton looks after the schools and pro-
tests against Shakespeare's Merchant
of Venice as supplementary reading in
the public schools, on account OF the
hideous portrayal of the character OF
Shylock, the Jew Other organiza-
tons look after other abuses.

BY REV. QUINCY EWING.

But we are very far from needing
to rely upon any general consideration
in support of the proposition advanced
a5ove. It is supported by evidences
on every hand, waiting only the eye
of recognition. Scarcely day passes
but something is said or done with this
end in view, to emphasize, lest they
forget, the conviction for both. white
man and Negro that the latter is and
must remain an inferior Let me in
stance a few such evidences.
Consider, first, the "Jim Crow legis-
lation in the manner of it's enforce
ment. Such legislation is supposed to
have for its object the separation of
the races in trains, street cars, ETC., to
save the white people from occasional
contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmell-
ing Negroes, and to prevent personal
encounters between the whites and
blacks. Members of the different
races occupythe. same cars, separated
only by absurdly inadequate little
open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and
light that a conductor can move them
from one seat to another with the
strength of his little finger. Needless
to add, these screens would serve to
obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell
of drunken rowdies who sat behind
them! In summer cars, black and
white passengers may be separated
not even by ke-believe screen;
they are simply required, respectively,
to occupy certain seats in the front
or the back end OF the cars:
In Birmingham, Alabama, the front
seats are assigned to Negroes in all
closed cars, and the back seats in all
open ones. Why the front seats in the
one case, and, the back seats in the
other, it is not easy to understand in
the light of the letter and alleged
spirit of the Jim Crow law! The un-
DERIVING purpose of the law is clearly
not the separation of the races in
space; for public sentiment does not
insist upon its fulfillment to that end.
The underlying purpose of it would
seem to be the separation of the races
in status. The doctrine of inequality
would be attacked if white and black
passengers rode in public conveyances
on equal terms; therefore the Negro
who rides in public conveyance
must do so, not as of undoubted right,
but as with the white mans regula-
ton. his place you may occupy,
that other you may not, because am
| and you are you, lest to you or to me
it should be obscured that am ! and
you are YOU" Such is the real spirit
of the Jim Crow laws.

After outraging the young girl, the

dragged her, to cemetery, where they
nailed her to cross above one of
the graves. Nails were driven through
her hands and feet and even through

arrested, but their friends in the town
released them and they escaped, it is

seem, the individuals have the right
to employ whom they please.
The case of the government is en-.

What Segregation Means
Rev Quincy Ewing Southern Caucasian Born
mississippi Shows the Policy of the South is to Keep
NJ the Afro-A American in Inferior Status

Why is it that in every Southern
city no Negro is allowed to witness a
dramatic performance, or a baseball
game, from first-class seat? In
every, large city, there are hundreds of
Negroes who would gladly pay for
first-class seats at the theatre and the
baseball game, We're they permitted to.
1t can hardly be that permission is
withheld because theatres and base.
ball games are so we'll attended by
half the population that first-class
seats could not be furnished for the
other half. AS matter of fact, thea
stands are seldom crowded; the rule
is, not all first-class seats occupied,
but many vacant Surely as simple as
moving from seat to seat makeshift
screen in street-car, would it be to
set apart a certain number OF seats
in the Dress circle of every theatre.
and in the grandstand of every base
ball park, for Negro patrons The rea-
son why this is not done, is perfectly
obvious; it would be intolerable to the
average Southern man or woman to
sit through the hours of theatrical
performance or a baseball game on
terms of equal accommodation with
Negroes, even with screen between.
Negroes would look out of place, out
of status, in the dress circle or the
grandstand; their place, signifying
their status, is the peanut-gallery, or
the bleachers. ! -
Consider further that, while no Ne
gro, no matter what his occupation, or
personal refinement, or intellectual
culture, or moral character, is allowed
to trave in a pullman car between
state lines, or to enter as a guest ho-
blacklist of Negro nurses and Wallets
are given food and shelter in all first;
class hotels, and occasion neither dis
gust nor surprise in the Pullman cars.
Here again the heart of the race prob
lem is laid bare. The black nurse with
a white baby in her arms, the black
valet looking after the comfort of
white invalid, have the label of their

they understand themselves, and,
everybody understand. them, to be SER

the sake of the person served. Almost
anything the Negro may do in the
South, and anywhere he may go, pro-
vided the manner of his doing. and his
going is that Of an Inferior Such is
