NO NEWS is NOT ALWAYS GOOD
NEWS, ACCORDING TO A
STORY TOLD BY A6RA-
HAM LINCOLN.

One of the stories persistently attrib-
uted to Lincoln was that referring to
the brand of General Grants whisky.
That was disowned by Lincoln, who
referred to its prototype when George
II. remarked, upon being told that
General Wolfe. then in command of
the English forces in Canada, was
mad, that he wished Wolfe would bite
some of his other generals.
In the fall of 1861 Lincoln entered
the telegraph Office where Mr.. Bates,
who writes these "reminiscences In
Leslie's Weekly, was employed and
asked for news from the front. Mana
ger Wilson replied, "Good news, be-
cause none," whereupon Lincoln said.
"Ah, my young friend, that rule does
not always hold good, for a fisherman
does not consider 1t good luck when he
can't get a bite."-David Homer Bates

Telephone
Achievement

Thirty-six years of development have
built the splendid nationwide system of to-
day connecting over 100000 Bell Iele-
phones in more than 5000 places.
This success is the result of the establish
ment and maintenance of the highest stand
ards for men, methods and apparatus; it is
the result of having always in mind a broad
purpose-that of establishing a great tee-
phone system to cover this broad land and
bring the benefits of universal c~ommunica-
ton to every community.
But this achievement is not solely to be
credited to the Bell Telephone itself. The
American people who make over 25,O 900
calls a day, are the great factor in the con-
slant upbuilding of the Bell System, and to-
day there is one Bel Telephone to every
thirteen people.

ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST.

-
A number Of colored newspaperme1
met recently I'm Nashville, Tenn, anl
among other things decided not te
protest against segregation sowing tt
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 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.

SPREAD OF MoHAMMEDANlsM.

Every true Christian should be glad
to learn of the remarkable growth of
Mohammedanism Among the colored
peoples of the world it is outstripping
Christianity.
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 standstill; it is
AASAOe~oAA6 yOoAAy. LII Ao1d Ctl1u AlIlCd
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 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 a 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
jimcrow religion, for that is what it
means when Caucasian Christianity
gets them into it's clutches.
The conquest of Colored America for
Mohammedanism has not yet begun,
but it is coming some day. THE APP
PEAL believes and predicts and the
brotherhood religion will spread like
wildfre. "

The ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end Of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution If tho
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
!, theory. -
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
, $4,000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
: friction between the races. Jamaica
is a British colony and the govern.
ment is just. Colored men eniov ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con.
a1t1ons In the United States and the
west 1ndies," he said, 'has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries.

the foundations for the peaceful de-
Velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human

lngly Christian.

balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civt,
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
cltlzens face in the contrary direction

medlately civil peace, but I am conf
oent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.

WHEN is MIXED BLOOD INDIAN?

WIEN 10 "1NGO 0L0OO INOIAIN
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. It is: when is
a mixed-blood indiana"
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, so 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
a 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 a 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.

ginning to look at things from a mora
standpoint instead of material one
America is the big brother of other
nations"
This is speciman of the loud noise
prominent men are handing out to the
people.
BUT IS 1T TRUE?
Take for instance, the growth of
"idealism" in Louisville, the home of
DIR. 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
a 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 real
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 can
we use the Christian religion to de-
grade the race?
True idealism, true morality would
abolish Kentucky's infamous color line |
avs, jimcrow cars and ghettos.
If the Caucasian Christians of Ken
lucky are doing anything to abolish
he color line we have not heard of it.
