PARKER KENNEDY
St. Paul and Chicago Join i'm a
Matrimonial Alliance
Prof. Frederick L. D. Parker, of St. Paul, and
Miss bernice Claire Kennedy. of Chicago
Enter the Harbor of Connubial Bliss

There is an old saying, "A prophet
is not without honor save in his own
country and among his own people"
and as it Is found in the Bible it is
entitled to some consideration; but,
there are exceptions to all rules, and
one of the most notable that st. Paul
has witnessed in regard to that rule
in decade, was the home coming of
Prof. F. L. D. Parker last week.
Prof. Parker is native of st Paul
and is the only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. D. Parker, who have been honored
citizens of this commonwealth for
over thirty years. He went through
the public schools and then entered
the University of Minnesota, gradu.
ating last year with the degree of
Bachelor of Science of Agriculture:
and, even before commencement day,
he was elected member of the facul-
ty OF the State College for Colored
Students at Dover, Del. He at once
entered upon the discharge of his du-
ties and during" the past year has
made for himself an enviable record
for efficiency and worth.
During one of his visits to Chicago,
he met, wooed and won one of the
most charming young ladies of the
city, in the person of Miss Bernice
Claire Kennedy, and as a elimination
OF this meeting they were joined tn
holy wedlock
The wedding which was one of the
largest and most notable that has
taken place in Chicago, occurred at
st. Thomas EDiscODal church m
Wednesday evening, Sept 2, at $3.50
o'clock.
On arriving at the church the we'd
ding procession was headed by the
cross and candle bearers who were
followed by the surpliced choir of
twenty-five males, chanting the we'd
ding march from Mendelssohn. The
choir was followed by the officiating
clergymen, Rev. J. B. NASSAU, rector
of st. Thomas, and Rev. Bishop of New
York, who assisted in the ceremony.
Then came the charming brides maids

DR.. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
STARTLES US.
louisville NeWS)

the Loulsville-C Courier Journal quotes
Dr. Washington as saying in a recent
speech that 'the Negro should stop
hghtlng segregation and lend his fore
es toward identifying the neighbour
hood in which he lives" If DR.. Wash
lngton is correctly quoted this is mos,
o1scouraglng. 1t is inconceivable that
one who occupies so prominent a DO
sltlon in the Afro-American world
should so far forget his position and
MS dignity as to urge his race to cease
protesting against the most cowardly
and humiliating legislation in the lana
1t is safe to say that segregation
mas many champions even among our
race, but almost without execution
they are to be found among the ele-
ment where there is the least intelli-
gence and where there is an inherent
lear OF opposing anything the, white
man chooses to do. But here we are
smltten from an unexpected quarter;
recognized leader of his race, an edu-
Gator, tells us to forget our manhood;
to forget the sacred and inalienable
rights of political and personal liberty
and to passively submit to the humili-
alton of being pushed aside as though
we are race of lepers, because we
would seek cleaner and healthier neigh.
borhoods in which to live.
To submit to a degradation without
serious objection is worse than coward
~; 1T is unmanly and ignoble and any
race that would do so without exhaust
ing every means of moral and legal
protest is unworthy of the name OF
civilized. Segregation is wrong, wrong
IN principle and fact; and, if DR.. Wash
lngton believes it is wrong, as we think
ne does, it is to be deeply regretted
that he lacks the moral stamina to
say so.
1t is obvious even to the friends and
supporters of DR.. Washington, that if
ne is quoted accurately, he can not
IN the future be regarded as being in
sympathy with the o-American who
places his self-respect and manhood
above everything else, and who is not
willing to sacrifice either for the sake
of living on more congenial terms with
his white brother
DR.. Washington's statement is as
puzzling to the News as it is painful,
because even if he believes that we
should not oppose segregation it
SeemS worse IMAM a DlunderS for him
to throw open so Vulnerable a spot to
the many opponents of his policies by
saying so.
However, the advice of the sage of
Tuskegee is not going to have any
effect on our local fight one way or
the other Surprise and disgust are
expressed on all sides by those who
read his quotation and the News is
forced to confess to the drawing of
some very painful conclusions, none of
which are too complimentary to DR..
Washington.

TURKEYS GREAT COUP.

That was a neat coup executed by
Turkey. Seeing that the time was
Opportune she has by 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
sia, Germany, France, Austria and
Italy established branch postoffices 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 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

ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S
SHAME.

! Eight years have passed since the
bloody massacre of innocent Afro
Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and we
reprint from the Independent, Du-
| Bots famous "A Litany of Atlanta"
that the race may not forget the aw.
full days when Colored men, women
and children were shot down like dogs
| because of their race. Not single
person who was killed had been guilty
of any crime whatever.
The massacre was caused by the
incendiary editorials Of the Atlanta
News and Journal, owned by Hoax
Smith, since governor of Georgia and
now United States senator from that
state.
In his gubernatorial canvass Smith
also made incendiary speeches incit-
ing the Caucasians against Afro-Amer-
leans and demanding that the race be
disfranchised. This has since been
done by legislative enactment.
Senator Hoax Smith is said to be
the author of the Jim crow policy of
the present administration and he has
the active support of Vardaman, Will
liams, Clark Hef1in and nearly every
SOutherner in Congress.
Every Afro-American parent ought
to bring "A Litany of Atlanta" to the
attention of his children. Let them
commit it to memory-it is a gem of
perfect English. Let it burn into the
souls of your children so that they
may know that in it's efforts to de-
grade the Colored race and reduce it
to condition not far removed from
slavery, the South does not hesitate
to murder innocent men, women and
children.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1871
THE REPUBLICS SHAME.

For the first time in the history OF
the United States. the machinery OF
the government OF 100000 people Is
being used to humiliate and degrade
100000 of it's 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.Amerlcan 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 examlna
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 held
responsible for this new attempt tc
establish that impossible thing, caste
in Republic.
Honest fair minded Americans fee
that the fair fame of our country Is
being trailed in the dust; they hans
their heads in shame L
il the Nations shame.
We hold President Wilson respon
sfble because in the final analysis thu
acts of his subordinate officials are hi

upon tn liquor question. In addition
to providing a county option law, I
believe in further reducing the power
OF the brewery in politics and curbing
the sinister influence of the liquor
traffic by preventing brewery owner
ship of saloons or buildings occupie>-
by saloons, by enforcement of laws
prohibiting the sale of beer or LIQUOR
to any but legally licensed retailers,
thus doing away with blind pigs and
other illicit places whose existence de-
ponds upon the illegal sale of liquor,
and by such other legislation as may
be necessary to destroy the power of
the liquor traffic."

SPREAD OF MoHAMMEDANISM.

SPREAD OF MoHAMMEDANIsM.
Every true Christian should be glad
to learn of the remarkable growth of
Mohamm edanism. Among the colOred
peoples of the world it is outstripping
Americans.
This may seem a queer statement
but it is true. Christianity is so de.
cadent in America today that there
are few real Christians except Afro.
Christianity.
The souls of American Caucasians
have been so warped by the Infamous
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 a standstill; it is
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 NOLAN.
med. It is a religion in which there
is no color line. The brotherhood OF
man is not a mere figure of speech as
it is in Christianity, but 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 its clutches.
The conquest of Colored America fol
Mohammedanism has not yet begun
but it is coming some day, THE APP
PEAL believes and predicts and the
brotherhood religion will spread like
wildf1re.

HEATHENS JEER CHRISTIANS.

The spectacle of three alleged
Christian emperors forcing upon the
world 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 it's
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 NJ. c.. AS.
We might permit a Chinaman or a
Japanese or a Malay or an Indian or
perhaps a dog but not "nigger."
AS all of these outrages are CON-
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.
