ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST.

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" d.
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 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
ious 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; 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 its ex-
istence.

WHEN is MIXED BLOOD INDIAN:

Many perplexing questions have
propounded to government experts, but
they are all mere incidents to the
puzzle now before the Supreme Court
of the United States. 1t is: when is
mixed-blood indiana" 3.
It is the contention of the govern
ment that the term mixed-blood can
be applied only to those Indians who
possess a quantity of white blood
amounting to one-half or more.
This question arises over the term
"mixed-blood" Indians, as employed in
the Clapp amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill of 1906, removing
restrictions as to sale, incumbrance
and taxation of the allotments.
The circuit court of appeals for the
Eighth circuit held that every Indian
who had an admixture of other than
Indian blood, however small, is a
mixed-blood. In the three cases de.
cided it was stipulated that one of the
Indians had one-eighth white blood,
another one-sixteenth, and the other
one-thirty-second, 80 the court dis,
missed the cases. The Department of
Justice then appealed the case to the
Supreme Court.
BY the way, the question: What is
Negro? has never been decided by
the Supreme Court and it would prob.
ably be as interesting as the Indian
case. THE APPEAL has always con.
tended that Negro is not proper
racial designation for Americans OF
African descent. To hear men who
are not more than one-thirty-second
Negro yelling themselves hoarse about
being Negroes" presumably for the
purpose of making themselves popular
with black men has always seemed
very ludicrous. Afro-American will
cover all the various admixtures..

THE REPUBLICS SHAME.

For the first time in the history of
the United States, the machinery of
the government of 90,O00,000 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-American and white
government clerks. No other class is
obliged to bear this badge OF degrada-
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.
ed by the segregation orders are in no
sense wards of the government. They
have won their places by examina-
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 to
establish that impossible thing, caste
in Republic.
fully consider the many protests
WHICH nave Deen maze ana give the
word which a Christian Statesman
should give, that during his admins
tration there shall be no segregation
or discrimination on account of race,
creed or color among the servants of
the government. a.
Honest fair minded Americans feel
that the fair fame of our country is
being trailed in the dust; they hang
their heads in shame. It
is the Nations shame.
We hold President Wilson respon-
sible because in the final analysis the
acts of his subordinate officials are his
and he has the power to end this in
justice by word.

their votes. ...~.... g.
Mississippi has also contributed tt

If the Caucasian Christians of Ken
lucky are doing anything to abolish
the color line we have not heard of it.
SPREAD OF MoHAMMEDANlsM

SPREAD OF MOHAMMEDANISM ISM.
Every true Christian should be glad
to learn of the remarkable growth of
Mohammedanism. Among the colored
peoples of the world it is outstrippihg
| Christianity. 2.
This may seem queer statement
but. it is true. Christianity is so de-
| cadent in America today that there
are few real Christians except Afro
| Americans
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 Moham-
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 Moham-
med It is religion in which there
| is no color line. The brotherhood of
man is not 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 it's clutches.
The conquest of Colored America for
J Mohammedanism has not yet begun,
but it is coming some day, THE AP-
PEAL believes and predicts and the
brotherhood religion will spread like
| wildfire. .

"GROWTH OF IDEALISM."

"Idealism is making rapid growth in
America despite the commercialism
of the age" is the opinion of DR.. J. S
Lyons, of Louisville, KY, moderator OF
the Presbyterian Assembly of the
United States. Americans are be-
ginning to look at things from a moral
standpoint instead of a material one
America is the big brother of other
nations" .s
This is speciman of the loud noise
prominent men are handing out to the
people. H.. ~ ..=
BUT IS 1T TRUE?
Take for instance, the growth OF
"idealism'' in Louisville, the home OF
DR.. Lyons. There is no question about
the increase of race prejudice since the
editor lived there thirty years ago
Even ten years ago who would have
dreamed that in 1914 there would be
&C agitation for the formation of a
ghetto for Afro-American, but it is
fact.
If there has been any growth OF
idealism in this country the Afro
American has been left out of the
equation. The "idealism" of the great
mass of the Caucasians seems to be:
What can be done to retard the reaI
progress of my brother of darker hue:
How can we humiliate and degrade
the race by discriminating laws? How
can we prevent him from exercising
the rights of a free man? How car
we use the Christian religion to de
grade the race?
True idealism, true morality would
abolish Kentucky's infamous color line
laws, jimcr0w cars and ghettos.

THE CLARK ANTl-MARRIAGEB BILL.
The Clark Bill prohibiting inter-mar-
riage of the races in the District of
Columbia, recently reported favorably
by the District Committee of the
House, and making the marriage of
Afro-Americans and Caucasians a
crime" is one of the. most infamous
measures ever offered in Congress.
1t strikes at the very foundation of
Christianity for among Christians of
every creed, marriage is regarded as
divine institution. .-..=.
There is no reason for such legisla-
ton. Caucasians usually marry eau
casians and Afro-Americans usually
marry Afro-Americans. The number
who marry interracially is wholly neg
ligible. The real purpose of the Bill
is to place stigma upon the Afro
American people.
The Clark Bill is really an open in
vitation to immortality and leaves the
Afro-American woman without protec-
ton and an easy prey to vicious men
of the white race. If there is to be
any mixing of the races it ought to
be done legitimately in Christian mar
riage and not in an immoral manner
1t is not the proper function of the
Government to draw lines of invidious
distinction between it's various classes
of citizens and place on the statute
books law which in effect brands
one group of citizens as unfit, CHASING
it with imbeciles, idiots, detectives, de-
generates and criminals.
And then there is another point of
view. The mixing which has already
taken place has not resulted in de-
generate specimens of manhood. The
first blood spilled in the Revolutions
airy War was that of mixed-blood
-Crispus Attacks. Frederick Doug.
lass, one of Americas greatest orators,
a patriot and a statesman was of
mixed-blood. DR.. w. E. B. Dubois,
the great literateur and sociologist, is
a mixed-blood. DR.. Booker T. Wash.
ington, the great industrial educator, is
mixed-blood. H. Y. Tanner, the great
artist whose pictures have been pur.
chased by the French Government and
now hang in the Louvre, is a mixed:
