SPREAD OF MoHAMMEpANlsM.

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 a 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
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 reason why the colored
races cling to the religion of Moham-
med. 1t is a 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 AP-
PEAL believes and predicts and the
brotherhood religion will spread like
wildfire.

COMPLIMENTS THE PRESS.

At the splendid meeting which was
held by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
at Baltimore, May 8, 4, 5, they paid the
Afro-American Press the compliment
of unanimously, a resolution presented
by Mr.. Charles T. Mailman, chairman
of the Press Committee viz:
1.-THE National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People recog-
nizes the value of the work which the
Negro Press has been doing for years,
and that, against great odds for the
upbuilding of colored people of this
country and the development of race
consciousness. In those parts of the
country where the white press is in a
conspiracy of silence regarding the
wrongs suffered by the colored people
the Negro press has been the only
agency to voice complaint and appeal
for redress of grievances. The Asso
citation wishes for the Negro press an
increase in prosperity and influence
for the future and invites it's co-opera
ton in the war which is now on"
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-05-16
AFRO-AMERICAN RIGHT WORD

We congratulate our up-to-date con-
temporary the Chicago Defender on
Its new make up" It is chock full
OF news and presents fine appearance.
We are especially pleased that the
Defender has adopted the word Afro
American as a racial designation. It
is a shame that it is necessary in this
alleged land of the free to differentiate
between Americans, but it is true.
Who has not been disguised by the
use of the word Negro with "a small
"n' as is almost invariably the case
in the daily newspapers. Although
the words Jew, Mexican, Filipino,
Chinaman, Japanese are always CAPT.
African blood have been described as
talized, Americans of more or less
negroes" and "negresses,'' as if they
were wild animals.
In view of the fact that not more
than one-third of the Americans of
African descent are of pure Negro
blood it follows that the word Negro
is not correct, while Afro-American
would include people of various per-
centages of admixture and if generally
adopted the daily papers would be
compelled to capitalize it. The word
Afro-American has been used by THE
APPEAL for thirty years.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-05-16
ALWAYS RIGHT 70 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" r-.
The attitude is undoubtedly chang
ing but it is for the worse. There
were more lynchings in 1918 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 everv
day.
THE APPEAL believes that the
neWspapermen have made a very sar-
1ous mistake in this the greatest crisis
since the civil war. We should al.
ways protest against wrong. 1t 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.

THE CLARK NTI-MARRlAGE BILL

THE CLARK ANTl-MARRIAGEB BILL.
The Clark Bill prohibiting inter-mar.
rage 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
a 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 a stigma upon the Afro
American people. 49,
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.
rage 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 a 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
