and others, but very properly belongs
in the category of ideas advocated by
Vardaman, Tillman, Blease and their
ilk.
No separate meetings are necessary
for the German, Irish, Jew, Italian or
any English-speaking race of Re-
publicans, then why in the name of all
that is honest and fair are such meet
ings necessary for Afro-American Re-
publicans. Afro-Americans do not de-
mand more than their share of re-
cognition in appointments, based upon
their numerical strength, and they will
never be satisfied with less. All
voters in the Republican Party should
have the right to express their pref
erences for men who desire their sup
port at the polls, and this can only be
done by Afro-American representa-
lives being admitted to the party
councils where the selections OF the
party organization are discussed. This
is the only method we know of where
by the party organizations can in all
truth act for government OF the
people, by the people, and for the
people,
Let US have ONE PARTY COUN-
GIL participated in by representatives
of ALL NATIONAL1TIEs, then we
shall have TRUE HARMONY, and
singleness of purpose that will sweep
aside all opposition"
To all of which THE APPEAL says
Amen.

A ray of hope may now reach the
hearts of the faithful Afro-American
Democrats. Representative Smith of
Maryland called on President Wilson
few days ago to urge the appoint
ment of white man as Recorder o.
Deeds, of the District of Columbia,
now held by Henry Lincoln Johnson,
or was held by him prior to July l..
1t is understood he was to resign
July 1. President Wilson told Rep
resentative Smith that soon after his
Inauguration he promised to appoint
only Afro-Americans to positions held
by Afro-Americans whenever changes
were made and he intended to do So.
This was not done in the case OF
minister to Hayti, the best position
held by an Afro-American and few
other less important places, but we
suppose like Rip Van Wrinkle, "we
won't count those"
Well see what we will see.

Fewer Lives and Limbs Now Lost In
Days Celebration.
The celebration Of the Fourth of
July with fireworks. which in former
years caused death or injury to an
average of 1000 persons year, is be-
coming memory. The day passed off
last year with only 8 dead and 365 in
jured in the entire country.
The sane Fourth movement has
spread widely since last year. which
showed big reduction in casualties
as compared with previous years. In
Kansas alone fifty towns have passed
ordinances forbidding the death deal
ing kind of celebration.
The saving of life and limb in the
larger cities is shown by the following
comparison of casualties:

This is the glorious 4th of July, the
anniversary of the day that the great
Declaration of Independence was
signed, which declares, call men are
born free and equal and endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, etc, ETC.
There are 100000 good, loyal citi-
zens of this country, to the manor
born, to whom that Declaration now
means nothing, therefore they are not
very much enthused over the glorious
4th.

lures which he is delivering at the
summer session of the University of
California.
"All this feeling out here in Cali

Americans and Japanese, as we'll as
between whites and other oriental
peoples, is simply foolish sentiment

Jewish Girl Outraged and crucified
BY Russians.
Berlln-One of the most revolving
crimes in the dark history of Russia
was reported here in a special dispatch
from st. Petersburg, telling of three
Russian youths having outraged and
then crucifed the daughter of a poor
Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the
Volga.
After outraging the young girl, the
dispatch declares, the three youths
dragged her to cemetery, where they
nailed her to a cross above one of
the graves. Nails were driven through
her hands and feet and even through
her eyes. The three murderers were
arrested, but their friends in the town
released them and they escaped, it is
asserted.

the AfroAmercan in Inferior Status

Why is it that sin every Souther,

dramatic performance, or a baseball
game, from "a first-class seat? In
every large city. there are hundreds of
Negroes who would gladly paw for
first-class seats at the theatre and the
baseball game, were they permitted to.
1t can hardly be that permission is
withheld because theatres. and base
ball games are so we'll attended by
half the population that tirst-class
seats could not be furnished for the
other half. AS a matter of fact, thea
tre-auditoriums and baseball grand
stands are seldom crowded; the rule
is, not all frst-class seats occupied.
but many vacant Surely as simple as
moving from seat to seat a makeshift
screen in a street-car, would it be to
set apart certain number of seats
IN the dress-circfe of every theatre
and In the grandstand of every base
ball park, for Negro patrons The rea-
son why this is not done, is perfectly
obvious; it would be intolerable to the
average Southern man or woman to
sit through the hours of theatrical
performance or a baseball game on
terms of equal accommodation with
Negroes, even with a screen between.
Negroes would look out of place, out
OF status, in the dress circle or the
grandstand; their place, signifying
their status, is the peanut-gallery or
the bleachers.

When Fred Hartley was graduated
from the scientific department of his
college at the head Of his class. though
he did not know 1t, he was at the apex
Of that eminence which is measured by
the plaudits of ones fellows Every
one predicted that he would have II
brilliant career, though no one seemed
to have any well defined idea as to
how It was to be brought about He
had astonished his classmates and in.
sructors by his mechanical ingenuity
and had invented several contrivances
which, though of no especial yalue. in
dicated his ability in that direction.
The next most important feature to
a mans career is the wife he gets. AT
the mating age there are no instructors
to tell him which girl will be the help
meet for him that he needs or the girl
untitled to supply his requirements,
and II here were such they would

she would take a prominent plach

Meanwhile his wife was yearning
