CRY: SEND
FOOD OR WE PERISH

The State Committee for Relief OF
Belgium say that they are beginning
to receive responses from the ap-
peal made through the papers. But,
they have just received message
from the American Commission for
relief in Belgium which reads as fol
lows: To-day there is a cry from
Belgium Send US food Or we perish. :
This Is just as much the voice of
God as the cry that reached St Paul
and the response is even more nee
essitious. The pictures of wretc he'd
ness in that pitiful land grow more
and more appalling from day to day

one person in every 1,200 in Belgium
was either partially blind or totally

became the center of war there were
thirteen institutions for the blind.

NO CREDIT DUE SOUTH.

1t is sickening to read some of the
slush written by colored men anent
the recent Grandfather Clause deci-
slon-they give the south credit for
the decision and slop over in their
praise of the Southern Christian
Justices
AS a matter of fact only three of the
nine justices are southern men: the
other six being Of northern birth. The
south deserves no credit whatever.
The case was so clear that even the
southern justices did not care to risk
their names going down in history
with the opprobrium which attached
to Justice fancy in the bred Scott
decision.
There is no reason why the south
should be lauded except the bootlick-

NOT NEEDED.

THE APPEAL is opposed to the
plan of the Southwestern Christian
Advocate to have a socalled vigilance
committee at Washington.
1t is not necessary, as work of a
similar character has been accomp-
llshed as business proposition by
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of the Colored People for
the past two years and inimical leg
islation prevented.
The colored people are not a. "vote-
less" people. In the North they have
voted for years and are still voting.
The United States Supreme Court has
just decided that there is to be no
color line in voting in the future, so it
is up to the colored people of the
South to guard their rights at the foun-
tain head. We feel that we are able
to do it in Minnesota.
A lobby in Washington would soon
degenerate into political machine
and as, it is likely that some jimcrow-
lists would be on the committee it is
possible that a committee kept up for
the purpose of guarding the rights of
the people would actually betray them.
It Is a dangerous proposition.

Must Judge A Group by It's Best. /:
(From the Christian Register, Boston,
Mass.)
No one can be said to know any
class Of people who has not been in
intimate and sympathetic relation with
the best as well as the worst of the
class. We compare many persons
who live in the South, and think they
know the colored race, with others
who have had no such contact, but
who have come into intimate and sym
pathetic relations with large numbers
= of that race whom their Southern
friends have never known; and of the
two sets of people we should say that
the second knew the colored people
better than the first. They know aspi-
rations among them that the others
do not know, or, knowing, do not
enter into and appreciate; they know
capabilities by direct contact with the
best of the race which others are obi
vious Of; they know qualities which
only respect and sympathy can bring
out; they know possibilities to which
others by their very acquaintance are
blinded. If those who know the col
ored race through the mass and by
observation merely could know what
individual possibilities are demon
strated in growing numbers of the
elect, and would be courageously can
did with. themselves, they would re-
wise their judgments and possibly soft
ten their prejudices. At any rate,
they ought to credit to those on whom
they charge ignorance of the colored
race the values that come from know
ing how many of that race are the
equal Of any members of the dominant
race in the highest abilities and in the
clearest aims. No estimate is worth
much which does not take people at

NO JlMcRowIsTs NEEDED.

More than two hundred colored men
are applicants for presidential an.
po1ntments under President Wilson.
A few are high class men, but we fear
the majority are lacking in one vital
point-manhood. as>.,
Many have made it known that they
would gladly accept a place with the
understanding that it would be run
along the color line. They have
agreed that they would segregate the
colored employees in their offices. It
Is disgusting to think that there are
such cattle on earth, but THE APP
/ PEAL has it on reliable authority that
such is the case.
Such men should not receive official
recognition. They would work great
injury to the people as a whole. Seq
regation lis too great a price to pay
for political appointment and If any
such brute is appointed by the Presi-
dent the colored people of the country
ought to see to it that his confirmation
is prevented.
The few colored Democrats who
have the ear of the Administration
should adopt the slogan: No recon-
mendations for jimcrowists. It would
be better that the colored people re-
NAMED without representation than to
have a cowardly cur in the place.
And better still: If Bishop Walters
and others who are presumed to have
power with the Administration would
tell the President that the colored peo-
pie prefer Justice to Offices and that it
would please them better to have the
ban OF segregation lifted than to have
dozen appointments.
Such an action would be public
