TURKEYS GREAT COUP,

That was a neat coup executed by
Turkey. Seeing that the time was
opportune she has by a stroke of the
pen abolished the obnoxious system of
extraordinarily 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.
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 a 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 change. The great
Christian powers began to spring at
each others throats 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 an
unjust and humilating conditions and
put one over" on the Christians.

read in the columns of it's Southern
Afro-American contemporaries editor
lals which may serve to inspire the
race to always protest against wrong.
In the article which follows, Mrs. Mag
gle II. Walker, the banker editor of
st. Luke Herald, Richmond, Virginia,
truly says, when the spirit and DOW.
er of agitation die among a people,
they are doomed beyond all hope of
resuscitation and redemption"
THE POWER OF AGITATION.
The greatest power on earth for the
rlghtlng of wrongs, is the power of
agitation. When the spirit and power
OF agitation die among a people, they
are doomed beyond all hope of resus
citation and redemption. So important
IS the power, that it is guaranteed tc
the people through the mandates OF
the Constitution of the United States
Inc colored man is not an agltator
nor mas ne ever been. It has dinned
into his ears until it has reached his
very soul, that all he has to do toward
|righting his wrongs, is to wait until
the Lord himself shall see fit to come
down and right them. The idea OF
peaceably assembling and making in
telligent and persistent protest against
outrage and wrong seems foreign to
him. Or, should he start an agitation
and is rebuffed at the start, he loses
heart, abandons the effort and gives up
like a disappointed child.
It is the agitation of the waters of
the sea, which prevents stagnation
and death. It is the agitation of the
air which gives pure air to breathe.
It is the agitation of the blood, which
gives us the power of motion and Lire,
and it is the agitation of thoughts and
ideas which prevents brain stagnation
and mental death. When a people lose
that interest in themselves, to that
extent that they stand supinely by,
quietly submitting to wrong, without
protest, they have reached the danger
point in race progress development.

have been so warped by the Infamous
The souls of American Caucasians
color prejudice rampant in this coun-
try that in the majority of cases they
are not true followers of the Nazarene
Before the awful color line American
Christianity stands paralyzed and
dumb.
There are today 100000 more Mos
lens than Christians in the British
empire. One-seventh of the whole
human race is Mohammedan and the
proportion is not at standstill; it lie
increasing yearly. In Asia and Africa
more natives are becoming NOLAN.
medans every year than are turning to
Christianity. Today nearly all of the
sacred places named in the Bible are
under Mohammedan rule.
There is a reason why the colored
races cling to the religion of Moham-
med. It is a religion in which there
is no color line. The brotherhood of
man is not mere figure of speech as
it is in Christianity, but a living real
ity. The orientals are too shrewd to
be caught in any large numbers by a
jimcrow religion, for that is what it
means when Caucasian Christianity
gets them into it's clutches.
The conquest of Colored America for
MOhammedanism has not vet begun,
but it is coming some day, THE AP-
PEAL believes and predicts and the
brotherhood religion will spread like
wildfire.

HEATHENS JEER CHRISTIANS.

The spectacle of three alleged
Christian emperors forcing upon the
world a fearful bloody war has caused
the so-called heather of the Orient to
speak in derision of Christianity and
they taunt the native converts with
the charge that Christianity is waning
and that Christian civilization is only
a veneer.
This lesson was learned years ago
by the Colored people of this coun.
try. Although the Afro-Americans
have accepted Christianity and in the
majority of cases devoutly follow its
precepts, they are robbed of their
civil rights in many states, they re-
ceive injustice in many courts, hostile
legislatures pass discriminating laws
and they are mob-murdered in the
Southern tier of states.
And then American Caucasian
Christianity says: We want you to be
Christians in order that our numbers
may be enlarged, but you are not fit
to go to the same church with us, you
must go in Jim crow Y. M. G.. AS.
We might permit a Chinaman or a
Japanese or a Malay or an Indian or
perhaps dog but not "nigger.''
AS all Of these outrages are COM
mitted by people who claim to be
Christians it is not strange that the
Afro-American has little faith in the
Christianity of the Caucasian Ameri-
can.

"The secretary of commerce is here
by directed to cause to be prepared in
detail an estimate of the probable cost
of sending at least six vessels, now in

United States, or otherwise, to the
principal port of South America, such
vessels to carry suitable samples of

able number of representatives of bust

adopt such other means as may by him
be deemed advisable, to the end that

be forthwith put in direct contact with
the markets of South America"
The majority Of the people in Mex
leo, Central and South America are
mixed bloods, Caucas1ans, Indian and
Negroes and all sorts of complicated
mixtures and it would undoubtedly
be great idea to load the ship with
samples of jimcrow cars and various

Surrendered Rights Never Retained.

(Martinsburg Pioneer Press.)
Editor Dabney, of the Cincinnati,
OHIO Union, like Hon. H. G.. Smith of
the old reliable Gazette of Cleveland
is up in arms against sprouting caste
IN his city. Right you are, that rights
surrendered are seldom regained.
Your contention that a few teachers
salaries amount to nothing compared
to the cowardlessness of the men and
women mixed schools give us is true
Our early life was spent in the schools
OF Chicago, never sitting by the side
OF children of darker color. Leaving
that city and going south to teach,
ABOUT ten years later we returned to
chicago and going to the Appellate
Court, found our class and seat mate,
MIR. Frank Lane, head clerk over more
than hundred clerks. We embraced
each other and before all of the clerks
ne wept with joy and said to his fir
ASSISTANT "Take my place, for Joi
and l are going to paint the old town
red today" He got his buggy and
took us over all of our prank grouno-,
and O! what a time we had that day.
One of the old teachers threw her
arms around us, and many of the then
boys were then men in various kinds
of business and all greeted us, and
Mrs. Curtin, one of the noblest and
sweetest women Chicago ever owned.
and for whom the whole city mourned
by order of authority, wept. and
greeted us as a mother would her
long gone and returned son. Mix the
schools. for there is no color in heaven.
