A,nmOnS Says Preside Has Been MiSiniOrmpd: That St. <, Has Pre- ,ided for Funds to tpntrol
 Situation.

 Am disturbed to hear of the proba- bihty of the adjournment of your legislature and feel bound to remind you that my constitutional obligations with regards to the maintainance of order in Colorado are not to be in definitely continued by the inaction of the state legislature. The federal forces are there only until the state of Colorado has time and opportunity to resume coplete sovereignty and control in the matter. l cannot con- ceive that the state is willing to foreSo her sovereignty or to throw 1leGSGll cIltlItly Oll NH' BUY Il illiitul VI the United States, and am quite clear that she has not constitutional i right to do so when it is within the power of her legislature to take et fective action"

 "As soon as the bonds can be is- sued, these funds will be available and this state can and will control | the situation. This is the only reas- oaable method of raising funds in the | immediate future.
 ''In addition to this act, the legisla- l ture has enacted law permitting the l governor to close saloons in time ot l disorder, and also a law prohibiting 1 the carrying and disposition of fire arms i1 time of disorder
 l 'Moreover, committee on media tion of the present strike has been provided and appointed"
 1 Senate Protects Governor. | When the governor made the tele- l gram public, Senator Tierney moved that the senate, which has previous ly voted to adjourn at 4:30 p. m. re- quest the governor to transmit tt the legislature copies of the tele- | gram.

AFRO.AMERICAN RIGHT WORD.
We congratulate our up-to-date co

We congratulate our up-to-date con-
temporary the Chicago Defender on
its new make up." It is chock full
Of news and presents a. fine appearance.
Z We are especially pleased that the
Defender has adopted the word Afro
American as a racial designation. 1t
is shame that it is necessary in this
alleged land of the free to differentiate
between Americans, but it is true.
Who has not been disgusted 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 capi-
talized, Americans of more or less
African blood have been described as
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.. 49,.

"GRoWTH OF IDEALlsM."

"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" <.'.
This is a speciman of the loud noise
prominent men are handing out to the
people. #''. =. ~,
BUT IS 1T TRUE? g..
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
a fact. 4.
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 ideaHsm, true morality would
abolish Kentucky's Infamous color line
laws, jimcrow cars and ghettos.

JEFF DAVIS IN THE CAPITOL.

A statue of Jeff Davis, the arch
traitor who tried to disrupt the Union
in order that human slavery should
be preserved and extended, is soon to
be added to the collection in Statuary
Hall in the Capitol at Washington.
The statue will be contribution to
the Nation from the state of Missis-
sippi. 4. g..
The more or less grand old Common
wealth of Mississippi has contributed
the arch demagogue Vardaman who
represents the state in the United
States Senate, because it's Afro-Amer-
ican citizens have been robbed of
their votes. |&- '.~'
Mississippi has also contributed to
the world the greatest number of
lynchings which have taken place in
any state in the Union. The unlaw-
full and unjdstifiable slaughter of Afro
Americans has made Mississippi a
veritable shambles.
Whittier are we drifting? What il
to be the end of Nation which per-
m1ts its citizens to be murdered by
mobs; accepts as Senators men who
openly boast in the Senate Chamber
Of the murder of their fellows; a Ma.
tion which attempts to degrade some
of it's citizenry by discriminatory laws
and allows the segregation aslepers OF
men and women who; have won their
places after severe tests and in spite
of the prejudice against them?
A statue of jeff Davis in the Capitol
at Washington!
God preserve our Nation!

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"
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
ernment 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.
T. 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; 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.
