ALWAYS RIGHT 70 PROTEST.

A number of colored newspapermen
met recently in Nashville, Tenn, and
among other things decided not to
protest against segregation towing 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 very SER
lous 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.

UNJUST JUDGE DENOUNCED.

Judge Willis of the criminal DEPART
ment of the Superior Court of Los An.
geles, California, sentenced a. Young
colored man to thirty years in the pen
ltentiary for highway robbery, al
though his only loot was a white
girls kiss.
When the fact became generally
known that so unjust a sentence had
been imposed white women sent in
protests, threats of recall and de-
nunciations. Deputations of white wo-
men visited the Judge to demand that
action be taken to save the young man
from such severe punishment. Tele-
phone messages informed him that
petitions were being prepared for his
recall. Other women called In person
to say that steps would be taken to
procure a pardon from the governor.
The action of the women shows the
difference between California and the
South. If the highway robbery" had
occurred in Vardaman's state there
would have been lynching.

1t has been the boast of the white
South and the cringing Afro-American
towards who approve everything that
the white South says, that there is no
color line in labor and that white and
black mechanics work together on the
same buildings, etcetera. Even that
has been changed to a great degree
and now it seems that demagogue
Blease, the brutal governor of South
Carolina has had bill introduced
which provides that "the two races
shall not be permitted to engage in
the same work at the same time at
any place or in any manner what
soever."
The law is to apply to schools.
Sunday schools, hotels, eating houses,
hospitals, nurses in private homes
and HOUSES OF ILL FAME.
That the law recognizes the exist
ence OF. houses of ill fame is sufficient
to show the state of civilization in
South Carolina.

RACE SEGREGATION BILL.

A bill to segregate all white and col
ored employees in the government de-
partments was introduced In the
House of Representatives Monday by
Congressman Edwards of Georgia. TIL.
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 employe 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 list of the mem
bers of the committee. It would be
we'll to write to the members from
your state protesting against the bill
and asking that it be killed in the
committees:
Hannibal L. Goodwin of North Caro-
lima.
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 C. Scott of Iowa.
Martin B. Madden of Illinois.
James Manahan of Minnesota.
Silas r. Barton of Nebraska.
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.

Thanks giving.

Governor Baldwin's Thanksgiving proclamation is as follows:
 Pursuant to the ancient custom of the commonwealth, Iappoint Thurdsay, the twenty-sixth day of November, as day of Thanksgiving and Praise, and call upon the people, throughout the state, to lay aside upon that day their ordinary occupations, and join, in their places of public worship and in family reunions in their homes, in praise to God for the manifold blessings He has bestowed upon us, and especially for that of peace ill our times.
 Let us, in the words of the Psalmist, offer unto God thanksgiving and pay our VOWS unto the Most High.
 Let us, also, remember that, to his prayer that the people would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His won derful works to the children of men, there was added "and let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving.
 So in these days of thankfulness here
