use of the word Negro with small
IN" as is almost invariably the case
in the daily newspapers Although
the words Jew, Mexican, Filipino,
Chinaman, Japanese are always CAPT
talized, Americans of more or less
African blood have been described as
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.

RACE SEGREGATION BILL.

A bill to segregate all white and col
ored employees in the government de-
partments was introduced In the
House of Representative Monday by
Congressman Edwards of Georgia. This
Edwards bill provides that white
clerks or employees shall not be re-
quired to occupy the same Offices or
work rooms with clerks or employees
of African blood or descent, nor shall
any white clerk or employee be placed
under the orders, direction or super
vision of any person of African blood
or descent"
The bill was referred to the COM
mittee on reform in the Civil Service.
The following is a list of the mem
bers of the committee. 1t would be
we'll to write to the members from
your state protesting against the bill
and asking that it be killed in the
committee: E
Hannibal L. Goodwin Of North Caro-
lima. sa
Charles D. Carter of Oklahoma.
Martin Dies of Texas.
G. o. Lobeck of Nebraska.
Lewis L. Morgan of Louisiana.
Stephen A. Hoxworth of Illinois.
Denver S. Church of California.
Lathrop Brown Of New York.
George G. Scott of Iowa.
Martin B. Madden of Illinois.
James Manahan of Minnesota.
Silas R. Barton of Nebraska. s
James w. Bryan of Washington.
1t would also be well to make gen
eral protest against the enactment OF
jim crow legislation of any kind by
Congress.

ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST.

aE D ! 4
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 a 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.
THE APPEAL believes that the
newspapermen have made a very SER
1ous 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; a 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.

WRONG TO WA TCH BASEBALL.

Cambridge. Mass. Beware, @ re.

Of q radically wrong attitude toward
athletics. Witnessing professional base
ball contests tends to harmful ex.
4cesses and immortality. Thus spoke
Haryard's world famous strength ex-
pert. Dr.. Dudley A. Sargent. recenay
He said in part:
The excitement attending hail
games as they are played at present ia
harmful Our baseball fans nowadays
are devotees of game in exactly the
same sense as are those fascinated by
watching roulette game or other
games of chance
Attendance at these games means
that thousands Of men. and boys and
even women become unduly excited
over the athletic proves of profess
sionaT players. They leave the ball
grounds with nerves Hngling and
spirits exalted If the game goes well.
and the question is, What outlet do
those men and women end for their
emotions thus aroused? / am tempted
to leave the subject with an tnterro
cation point
There is nothing wrong with a ball
game as such any more than there is
with theatrical performance as
such. but such games arouse emo
ton without furnishing motor outlet
This would not be the case if the
game were actually played instead of
watched. We are OVERRIDING one phase
of the so called love of sport
There is nothing in this dollhouse
form of athleticism. and the less we
have of it the better"
