convention floor, delegates rising on
tnelr cnalrs and hurting epithets at
eacn otner, While theirs climbed on the
platform shrieking maledictiors on
ther opponents, Lieut.. Michael
Clohesy and a squad of men from the
22d street police station grasped the
nolslest men and hustled them-yell-
ing at the top of their lungs-to the
street.
IN the expectation of trouble uni
formed officers had been stationed at
the doors Wednesday, with orders
to admit no one not able to produce
proper credentials. In the wild scene
that followed the injunction service
and the withdrawal of the president
the policemen battled against the mob
for five minutes or more before semb.
lance OF order was restored.
when comparative quiet reigned-
that Is, when chairs and tables were
not being overturned and violent i'm
prcat1ons were not being hurleu pack
and forth, Rev. Walker of Augusta,
Ca, mounted the platform and at
atmpted to bring the warning factions
to reason.
Out on the street a crowd of colored
people collected, excitedly discussing
the points at issue and occasionally
threatening violence to each other.
Offlcers passed among them, ordering
them to move on. .. -
In the convention hall about 1000
persons remained, listening with only
occasional Interruptions to the pacific
list speech that was made. Even as
late as an hour or more after the
crisis the police once in a while had
to dive into the audience and drag
from it loudly protesting delegate.
THE APPEAL has no particular in.
terest in either of the warning fac.
lions, but feels keenly the disgrace
which the convention riot has imposed
upon the colored people of the country
: This is good time for the Baptist
convention to cut out the annual
meetings and resolve to meet once in
four years as the Methodists do in
their general conferences Several
thousand delegates attend the Baptist
meetings and there is no reason why
the brethren should practically throw
away from $4,000 to 100000 on an.
nual meetings which are not worth
the money.
Meet once in four years and elimin
ate the rioting.

EINSEL CHlVALRY,

The Southern Caucasians are con-
tinually yelling about their chivalrous
regard for women and their determin-
alton to protect females from assaults
etc., but in view of many happenings
in the Southland it is evident, that
that their chivalry is of the tinsel
variety.
Last year a Caucasian went into the
home Of a respectable colored woman
in Wagner, Okla, and attempted to
assault her, but was shot by the
woman before he succeeded. When
the chivalrous Oklahomans heard of
the happening, the colored woman
who killed the white man in protect.
ing her virtue was lynched by an
"orderly mob of the best citizens"
In another Southern state recently,
a colored man was walking along the
street with his sweetheart when a
white man made an insulting remark
about her. The colored man promptly
killed the white man and few hours
later. he was lynched by a mob of
Heading citizens.'
The Southern boast about defending
the honor of women is a LIE. South.
ern chivalry is tinsel r.

aliens, although they are more than
ninety-nine per cent of American
birth; and there is a growing ten
dency among the colored people to
regard themselves as aliens. This is
being encouraged by class of lead
ers who call themselves Negroes"
and. yell about Negro Kultur" al
though they have not more than half
and often less than ,one-eighth of
Negro blood. Such men ought to
stop the NEGRO" propaganda and be
Americans and demand justice be-
cause they are Americans and not by
the false assertion that they are
Negroes"
They should not have any rights as
Negroes but every right of an
American citizen should be and will
be accorded them, if they fight for
their rights as American citizens by
right of birth.

KEEP OUT OF HAITI.

The United States government has
no right to NEEDLE with the internal
affairs of any nation however small
II the people chose to kill each other
it is their own affair.
The ultimatum to Haiti is the act nj
a big bully nation to plucky little
republic which has maintained it's in.
dependence through more than 2 cen.
fury against tremendous odds,
All this talk about the brutality Of
the Ha1tians is pure rot and is largely
because of their color. Conditions in
HAITI are no worse than in many othe,
small republics in the Western Hem
isphere.
Before bullying the little country
the United States ought to find some
way OF eliminating the lawlessnes<
and burnings and mob murders which
are so numerous within our owl
borders.
More outrages have been committed
IN Europe in single day than have
occurred in Haiti in a hundred year.
but the fear of the big guns of thu
powers has prevented Uncle Sam from
butting in.
Let Haiti solve her own problems

A writer in Liberty" published
quarterly in Washington, D. c., under
the caption, "The Inalianable Rights
OF Man." presents some incontrovert-
able facts, viz: Governments were
ordained to protect the natural rights
OF men and not to deprive any man
of his rights. - IAN upright,
honest citizen should enjoy equal
rights with every other citizen, ire
spective Of numbers, creed, or color,
before the law Of the land. Equality
of rights is the first of rights, and in
the sight of the law there should be
no respecter of persons, whether he
be king or pope, nobleman or peasant,
rich or poor, Christian, Jew, or infidel,
red white or black. The right Of
choice is divine, and every man should
be protected in its free exercise so
long as the exercise of his choice does
not interfere with the equal rights Of
his neighbor." II all the people
thought as does the writer Of the ar
ticle and lived up to his ideals then
this might to be justly called the
Land Of the Free"

JEWS FEAR NEW EXILE.

Palestine will not be- given to the
Jews, but will be annexed to Egypt
should the allies win in the war.
This was the assertion made recent
ly at the Winona Bible Conference by
the Rev. S. B. Robold a Christian Jew
of Toronto who has lived in Palestine
for eighteen years
ut would be suicide for England to
give Palestine to the Jews to establish
a nation said DR. Robold. 1T must
please 100,0OO,OO0 Mohammedans, to
whom Palestine is sacred.
"The Jews will receive no benefit
from the war, no matter who wins. If
Russia loses it will need a scapegoat
and it will be the Jews. Russia will
say that the Jews betrayed it. Like
wise if Germany loses the Jews will be
blamed.
'This war means the exile Of the
Jews. It is striking coincidence that
on Aug. /, 1914, the Jewish ninth Of
A B., when war was declared by Ger
many to the British ambassador, Sir
E. Goshen, Jew, the anniversary Of
the destruction of the temple by
Nebuchadnezzar and the exile Of the
Jews, and the anniversary Of the exile
Of the Jews by Titus, were observed.
History repeats ITSELF"
DR.. Robold said the Jew is not want
ed anywhere, but is playing the most
amazing role IN all nations at war with
each other.
I'm England there are five Jews in
the cabinet, five Jewish lords, six privy
councilords, sixteen barons, fourteen
knights, eighteen members Of parlia-

COLOR LINE DRAWN,

COLOR LINE DRAWN.
Springfield, ILL.,, Sept.-The Illinois
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church drew the color line here today
by refusing to adopt a resolution petit.
tioning the general conference to an.
point a colored bishop. to represent
the colored membership of the church
in the south.
The intent of the resolution was
shielded by the phrase "a bishop OF
languages and races" but it's mean.
ing was made clear in the storm OF
discussion which followed. It was
defeated by a vote Of IL to ia. Dr.
w. ]. Davidson of Evanston, one OF
the strongest opponents of the resolu.
ton, declared a commission appointed
by the last general conference, OF
which he was a member, to investi
gate the need for a colored bishop
did not favor the idea.
The headline is misleading. The
conference did not draw the color line
but certain fool colored people, who
believe in segregation are the ones
who are attempting to draw the color
line. They have begged to be separ
ated and segregated from their white
brethren, but the white people have
saved them from themselves.
The jimcrowists whose puny minds
! failed to see that there is no materia!
difference between segregation in the
church and in civil life have been
properly rebuked

Reforms Needed at Home.

(From The Christian Register.)
Race bitterness makes argument. or
discussion, or any effort to come to a.
common understanding quite useless.
Where much racefeeling is engaged
reason is neutralized. With some peo.
pie, questions of the rights of colored
people under the Constitution, of the
people of California have become i'm
possible: They simply can not discuss
the subject. While this is the case
in this country, we have enough to
DO in cleansing our own blood of
germs of conflict without thinking It
our main business to reach across
the water in' restraint of war. War is
lnclpient among us in these matters.
and cruel barbarities frequent enough.
to keep us busy reforming ourselves.
Billy Sunday speaks out emphati-
cally, acrobatically and ungrammatic-
ally against almost every wrong in the
country-except race prejudice. If
ne wants to show that he is a real
brave man, not afraid to tacke any,
thing, and do some good where it is
most needed, let him speak out aginst
race prejudice

NATIONAL HOME.

A lot of misguided colored people in
Virginia are holding meetings in the
interest of National Old Colored
Folks Home" an tdis said that an
appropriation of 100000 will be asked
from Congress.
No colored person with any self
respect ought to take part in any such
movement. Congress should never be
asked to specifically draw the color
line by appropriating money for any
scheme which separates colored
Americans from other Americans

THE HYPHENATED AMERICAN.

THE HYPHENATED AMERICAN.
Oswald Garrison Wizards recent
speech against hyphenated American.
ism was telling one.
Mr. Willard was himself born on
German soil and of a German father,
yet he is amazed at the divided citi-
zenship of some Americans of German
ancestry.
He referred to Carl Schurz, and his
true Americanism and said "What
would amaze him more than to find
unnumbered Germans who, like him
self, come to this country to escape
the very militaristic autocracy they
now uphold, today, denouncing the
nation that adopted and sheltered
and fed and clothed them"
Other races have shown strong
tendencies to form distinct bodies,
Mr.. Willard said, but the German
propaganda is, so far, the most ex-
tensive.
He then asked if it were true, as
commended, that the German Kultur
and political system were superior to
the scheme of life and government
in America, why the hordes who have
flocked here did not 60 to Germany
instead.
Mr.. Willard said, that to allow ma
tionalistic groups to develop in this
country such as they have in Austria
Hungary would be most disastrous.
He said, such a proposal was ''un..
thinkable to true minded American"
For many years it has been the

custom to treat colored people as
a monopoly on the business through
out the civilized world, and especially
in this country, will lose thereby un.
told millions in trade.
In this connection it is stated that
a Chicago physician has discovered a
process of turning colored people
white by ether freezing.
The raising Of white cotton has
been one of the great occupations
with which the colored people of the
South have been identified.
Is it possible that cotton will turn
colored and the cotton picker turn
white?
Strange things happen nowadays.

Shouts and rioting in the midst of
which the above epithets were hurled

patching up their differences the fac
tional fight grew worse. DR.. E. G..

from speaking or taking any active
part in the meeting or from going on
