GOOD WORK, Mr.. TYLER.

The Cleveland Gazette, speaking of
the increase of race prejudice in
Columbus, Ohio, tells little
story Of the commendable action
of Ralph w. Tyler, former auditor
for the navy: "A motion picture
theater in East Long street recently
hung out a sign reading: First five
rows in the rear reserved for colored
patrons Learning of it, Mr.. Tyler
went out and saw the sign, then called
up the chief of police, over the phone
and demanded that he cause the sign
to be removed, claiming it was an in
suit to $4,000 colored citizens. and
stated, if the authorities did not re.
move the sign instanter he would tear
it down if he had to go to jail for it..
The sign was removed" That was an
heroic action. THE APPEAL also
commends Mr.. Tyler's recent article
in which he condemns the use of
negro" as race name. Mr.. Tyler
thinks that American is good enough
for all people born in this country and
so does the writer.

OUR NEED OF JUxTAPOSlTiON.
(From the Boston Guardian.

L.
That we much rather be, and asso
ciate among ourselves, is a saying by
Colored Americans that has become
almost trite. That is a mistake; it
is feeling of avowed cowardice and
innate inferiority. 1t is an utter i'm.
possibilitay for the two races to sub
scribe to common government, and,
at the same time, each race work out
It's own salvation. The theory" has
been tried and resulted into a CHASTITY
failure; instead of making for har
mony and cordial good feeling be-
tween two races, it has increased
race hatred AMI antagonism in leaps
and bounds. We have needed too
long the advice from false and treach-
erous leadership that resistance is
wrong, that it only breeds race hat
red and antagonism; that the thing
for US to do is to get property and
other rights will inevitably follow.
We have followed this advice" faith
fully and have been rewarded in
terms of residence segregation, street
segregation, confscation and loss of
property, anti-intermarriage is
all of the blacklist pieces of legis-
lation, since that it leaves our women
defenseless and at the mercy of white
brutes - separate schools, jimcrow
cars, and even legislating to exclude
further Negro immigration. These
are the evils resulting from mon
resistance" and rather be by our
Selves That with the same degree
of effontry and terrible legislation
with which our property is taken and
onfiscated, with this same effontry
and legislation will our political and
manhood rights be taken from us.
That is fact. Every congress of.
fers legislation degrading and mimi.
cal to our we'll being Race preju-
dice, therefore, can only be Worn down
by attrition. We must send our
children, and go ourselves. to mixed
institutions and other places where
we can mix with the other races and
consequently become accustomed to
one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS
WE MUST WELCOME AND PRAC-

WALLER AGAINST NEGRO"
Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says 1t Causes

Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says 1t Causes
Mental and Physical Segregation.
(From Amsterdam News)
Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: cannot too heartily congratu-
late you on recent editorial discour-
aging the use of the word "Negro."
There is no greater delight enjoyed by
the white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
lze that it is the most potential fac
tor at work at the present to bring
about both physical and mental
segregation of the people of color. It's
use is on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
DO Bots and Washington feel that it's
repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to
retain the good will of the masses. The
term Negro" is not only absurdly in
accurate as applied to millions of COL
ored people, but it is also alarminly
injurious, for the following reasons:
a. 1t has never stood historically or
IN the present, anywhere in the world,
tor anything noble or uplifting. Most
hlgh-grade Africans repudiate it.
b. In Africa and out of Africa it was
never applied to the higher types, but
to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegam-
bians only.
+ c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," 'Ne-
grofy," and it's compounds, Negro-head,
Negro-f1y, Negro-monkey, are all clear
ly, in their associations, degrading.
d. It's feminine form, "Negress," is
justly and correctly used to define
your wife and daughter and sweet
heart, if you favor the use of the mas
culine term.
e. 1t has been the word used by the
Southern whites for two centuries,
when formally speaking or writing
about an unworthy or criminal man
or woman of the race. For when he
speaks of the worthy he invariably
says "cOlOred."
t. 1t is not differentiated in the mind
and thought of the whites from their
favorite and generally used (among
themselves) terms, "Nigro" and mig
ger"
g. AS stated by an eminent Japanese
diplomat it has an unquestioned in
t1uence in cutting us off from the
thought, sympathy and cooperation
OF the millions of colored Africans, Ash
atics and Islanders of the Yonder
world
Very truly yours,

SATURDAY, APRIL II, 1915.
CENSUS SEGREGATION.

Negroes in the United States" is
the title Of pamphlet just issued by
the United States Census Bureau. The
title is misleading, for there are only
473 real Africans in the United States,
according to the Census, that is Ne
groes born in Africa.
The United States assumes that a
group of about 1O,OOO,0OO' people are
Negroes and proceeds to so classify
them. More than ninety-nine per cent
of the persons so classified were born
in America of American parents, and
their parents were Americans and so
on back for ten generations.
If a man whose ancestors for many.
generations is not an American, who
is entitled to the name? If a. white
man can become an American in two
generations, why should a person of
any other color born in this country
fail to ARRIVE" in the same space of
time?
The name Negro" applied to a
group of citizens in this country is in
accurate, because it does not include
forty or fifty million other Americans
who have more or less Negro blood.
The expression "pure race" is amyth
so all great writer's on racial questions
agree.
The mixing of bloods in this country
has gone so far that it is impossible
> determine with any degree of accu-
racy who has Negro blood and who
has not, and for the Government to
select about 100000 people and say
that they are Negroes" and by that
act to aid in making them a separate
treatment in church and state, is to
perpetrate great wrong.
There is no reason why Democra-
cy should attempt to classify its cit
liens by their blood. All persons
born in this country should be con-
sidered Americans without any pre-
fixes or suffixes.
If the Government contention that
every person with a drop of Negro
blood is a Negro, then the Census
figures are false. Instead of about
1O,OOO,OO0, there are really nearer 9O,-
100000 or in other words, the majority

For many years the South has op.
