The clutch of the press is upon our Motorcycle club. On Tuesday night there will be an election of officers, that will determine not so much who shall preside at the meetings, and who direct the destinies of the club for the next six months, as which Phoenix daily is the most popular with the two wheeler riders. This is interesting if true. To an outsider, or to one who stops to think, this condition is ridic
 ulous. The Republican has made, does make and will make no bid for any more favor than it deserves. It has carried the Phoeniv Motorcycle clubs race and other news in the best pos sible manner with the tools with which it has had to work.

1.-THE POWER OF AGITATION"

THE APPEAL is always pleased to
read in the columns of it's Southern
Afro-American contemporaries editor
ials which may serve to inspire the
race to always protest against wrong.
In the article which follows, Mrs. Mag
gle ~. Walker, the banker editor of
st. Luke Herald, Richmond, Virginia,
truly says, when the spirit and pow
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
rlght1ng 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 to
the people through the mandates of
the Constitution of the United States.
The colored man is not an agltator,
nor has he 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 disappointed child.
1t is the agitation of the waters of
the sea, which prevents stagnation
and death. 1t is the agitation of the
air which gives pure air to breathe
1t IS the agitation of the blood, which
gives US the power of motion and lite,
and it is the agitation of thoughts and
ideas which prevents brain stagnation
and mental death. When people lose
that interest in themselves, to that
extent that they stand supinely by
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-11-07
quietly submitting to wrong, without
protest, they have reached the danger
point in race progress development.

chusetts:
"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
the military or naval service of the
United States, or otherwise, to the
principal port Of South America, such
vessels to carry suitable samples of
the manufacturers and products of
this country, together with a reason
able number of representatives of bust
ness or trade organizations, and to
adopt such other means as may by him
be deemed advisable, to the end that
our manufacturers and producers may
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
other hellish things which are made
only in the United States. The 49,
100000 colored people out of the TO-
100000 inhabitants of Brazil would no
doubt be greatly interested in the U.
S. Treasury brand of water closets

Shelton Williams of Virginia.

"AUTONOMY."

Autonomy is a high sounding word
and means self government, but like
many other good things it may be
perverted.
Recently a number of colored min.
listers and laymen of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, met in Nashville
Tenn.' and actually petitioned the
Board of Bishops to set them anart
from the other members of the church.
did 1t in the name of the Lord,
The colored members of the M. 3.
church have no great grievance. They
nave been given representation in the
various activities of the churches
When colored men have been nomin.
ated for the bishopric hundreds of
white men have voted for them, but
because that they have been unable
up to this time to elect a colored
bishop the men who met in Nashville
seem to be willing to jim crow them
selves.
In the opinion of THE APPEAL it
would be far better, far more Christian
like for the men who are dissatisfied,
to withdraw entirely from the church,
rather than to allow the color line to
enter the church of God. They could
unite with the A. M. E. Church, the
A. M. E. z. Church, or the G. M. E.
Church and find colored bishops. That
would be better than to start the color
line in Christian church.
The men who father this proposition
are making great mistake and they
will live to see it.
They have really voted against
themselves and their children by advo-
eating segregation, for that is what
it is.
They have voted against liberty,
against their country and against their
God.
THE APPEAL hopes that the Board
of Bishops will reject their memorial
as unchristian and save these men
from themselves.

Short Walk from Freeman to Serf.
(Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va.)

It seems to us that agitation is
needed and that some we'll directed
effort on the part of the Colored PEG"
pie themselves should be made to
check this pale of oppression which
has now settled down all over the
country. With the elimination of our
political rights has come the interfer-
ence with our property rights and
from freeman to serf is but short
walk in distance. Colored men must
stand up for their rights, and they
should not depend upon others to
stand up for them.
While the women are contending
for the right of suffrage, let the Col.
ored men contend for the same thing.
Political pull" against us is accom-
plishing our ruin. We have never be-
lieved that the Colored people should
eschew politics. This was the COM
mencement of our undoing and the
sooner we get back on the political
road again, the better.
Rights are controlled and curtailed
by politics. This is the lever to be
used in our favor, just as the white
peoples have used it against us.

By REV. QUINCY EWING.

But we are very far from needing
to rely upon any general consideration
in support of the proposition advanced
above. 1t is supported by evidences
on every hand, waiting only the eye
of recognition. Scarcely a 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 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 it's 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 occupy the same cars, separated
only by absurdly inadequate little
open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and
light that 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 a make-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 Grow 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 it's fulfllment to that end
The underlying purpose Of it would
seem to be the separation Of the race:
in status. The doctrine Of inequalit,
would be attacked if white and blacl
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. "This place you may occupy
that other you may not, because an
and you are you, lest to you or to nj
it should be obscured that am ane
you are you" Such is the real spiri
of the Jim Crow laws.
