The fact that three Jews have

people to see that many of their most

The ultimatum to Haiti is the act of

All this talk about the brutality of

because of their color Conditions in
Haiti are no worse than in many other
small republics in the Western Hem.

Before bullying the little country
the United States ought to find some
way of eliminating the lawlessness

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 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
contended, that the German Kultur
and political system were superior to
the scheme of life and government
in America, why the hordes who have
f1ocked here did not go 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
aliens, although they are more than
ninety-nine per cent of American
birth; and there is growing ten
dency among the colored people to
regard themselves as aliens. This is
being encouraged by a 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.

Last year Caucasian went into the
home of 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,
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 a few hours
later he was lynched by mob of
leading citizens.''
The Southern boast about defending
the honor of women is a LIE. South

NO ILLEGITlMATE BABIES.

1t is the consensus of opinion of the
leading thinkers of the world that
there should be no illegitimate chill
dren, that is, that babies should be
declared illegitimate by the state
even if born out of wedlock.
A new law was recently passed by
Norway, giving the so-called illegiti-
mate child right to his fathers name.
The expenses of his rearing are di.
vided between father and mother in
proportion to their ability to pay, the
basis to be the financial status of the
weather. parent. And the illegitimate
Norwegian child is an heir to the
fathers property and on equal terms
with the children born in marriage.
Nature knows nothing of illegit-
macy; she cares naught for marriage
certificates and there is no reason
why the innocent babe should be de-
graded and ostracized because of the
sins of it's parents.

1.-THE @IRTH OF A NATION."

The -colored people all over the
country have been fighting the mis-
chlevous and dangerous prejudice
breeding film, "The Birth of a Ma
tion." Articles, editorials, etcetera,
have appeared in the papers all over
the country, but the best THE AP-
PEAL has seen is the communication
to the Chicago Tribune, Written by
Major John R. Lynch, who lived in
the south during the reconstruction
period and knows whereof he speaks.
Major Lynch's article is so excellent
that We reproduce it in full:
Chicago. editor of The >Tribune.)
Speaking of the photoplay called
The Birth of a Nation," you say:
1T is in all essential episodes ground
ed on historical fact, representing the
struggles of that terrible time in the
south when the whites, back from
war, saw their government taken over
by the newly enfranchised blacks con-
trolled by the northern carpetbaggers.
What happened with the Negro
ascendant and how the white re-estab-
llshed his supremacy is shown with
obvious natural sympathy for the
south, and no doubt with such height
enlng of effect as dramatic art has a
right to employ. 1t presents what the
south says and the north of our day,
at least, is inclined to believe to be
truth
Exactly the reverse of this is true.
for there never was time when any
one OF the state governments of the
south was taken over by the newly
enfranchised blacks controlled by the
northern carpetbaggers.
That some mistakes were made dur
ing the progress of reconstruction will
not be denied. How could it be other
wise? The war had just come to an
end. Sectional animosity was bitter
and intense. The Republican party
was looked upon as the enemy of the
south. No white man could identify
himself with the Republican party at
that time in any one of the southern
states without running the risk of be-
Ing socially ostracised and publicly
characterized as an enemy to his Sec
ton, his state, and his race. Notwith-
standing these things, not less than
rs per cent of the white men of that
section-men who were to the man
ner born, many Of them ex-Confeder-
ate soldiers, identified themselves
with and became leaders of the Re-
publican party. These, in the main,
were the men that the newly enfran-
chised blacks selected as their lead
ership they Loyalty and faithfully fol-
lowed.
l do not hesitate to assert that the
reconstructed state governments at
the south were the best governments
those states ever had before or have
ever had since. There never was
time when there was actual physical
Negro domination" or even carpet
bagging domination, in any one of the
reconstructed states.
The play to which you refer, in
stead of being grounded on histori-
cal facts" is grounded on historical
Misrepresentation, without having
single actual fact as the basis of it's
existence. 1t is fiction pure and
simple, painted from a diseased and
prejudiced imagination, with a false
and deceptive background as a basis
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1915-09-25

upon which to stand. Such a play
could not be otherwise than mischiev-
GUS in it's inception and dangerous in
its results, even if the scenes depicted
were truthful reproduction of actual
occurrences. But when it is or ought
to be we'll known fact that the al
legged scenes are pure fabrications
with not a single background of truth
to support them, their production can
hardly be less than criminal. In the
main they are false, slanderous, and
malicious. They are calculated and
intended to engender and intensity
race prejudice and race hatred. In
the Interest of peace, order, truth,
justice, and morality they should be
suppressed. No good can come but
much harm may result from them. It
is, therefore, the duty of the authori-
ties to suppress them, just as they
would suppress any other nuisance
that is calculated to incite crime and
general disorder in the community.
In this connection allow me, as a
southern man, to say, and to say
whereof l know, that there are Just
two classes of white people at the
south who keep this so-called race
problem constantly before the public.
The first class is composed of those
who commercialize race prejudice
; simply for the dollars and cents they
can make out of it. The second class
is composed of those who utilize race
| prejudice for the purpose of securing
political distinction and official recog-
milton which they could never secure
through any merit of their own. 1t
makes no difference with these people
how much harm to the public or in
justice is done to any people or race
as long as they can accomplish the
; purpose desired. They know there is
not a particle of truth in anything
they say or produce relative to this
matter. But what difference does
that make to them? The office seek
er finds that this is his best paying
political asset. What is the use, then,
OF considering or discussing the tariff,
the financial, or any other subject or
| question as long as this mythical race
| question will answer the purpose?
They find that this is the one uues-
ton upon which they can hold the
! white men of the south in abject DO
1AeAS"A ouOJ0SI4Ou duu upon WHICH LQe
! average white man at the north can
! be easily fooled and deceived. AS
long, then, as the country believes,
, as you seem to believe, that these
things are true and that public senti-
ment must tolerate them and approve
methods that are criminal and prac-
tees that would be otherwise indie
fenslble for the purpose of preventing
Negro domination" just so long will
this state of affairs continue. Let us
hope that the eyes of the people will
eventually be opened and that justice
and fair play for all will be the &C.
cepted rule of action in all parts of
our country.

"COLORED COTTON"

Remarkable results seem about to
be achieved by w. A. Brabbam of
Olar, S. c., who has succeeded in
producing cotton which ranges in
color from snow white to a deep olive
green. Mr.. Brabbam is positive in
his assertion that black cotton sought
for ages by spinners and manufacture
ers is about to become a reality.
That these statements were no idle
dream, is borne out by the receipt in
Savannah, Ca, of samples of colored
cottons. The exhibit has been framed
and hung on the walls Of the cotton
exchange where it has occasioned
general interest and comment.
Brabbam has practiced seed selec.
ton extensively and in four years has
secured in regular order from the
Egyptian seed cream, tan, yellow.
green, light brown, olive green and
bronze. He is sanguine that attain.
ments thus far achieved warrant the
assertion that black cotton is coming
in the near future.
It is conceded by the trade that
Brabbam is giving to the world most
valuable discovery, and that, as re-
suit, the dye manufacturers of Ger.
many, who have for generations had
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
Chicago physician 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.

COLOR LINE DRAWN.

r
Springfield, ILL.,, Sept.-The Illinois
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church drew the color line here today
by refusing to adopt resolution peti:
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 vote of IL to ia. DR..
W. J. Davidson of Evanston, one of
the strongest opponents of the resolu-
ton, declared 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 beer
properly rebuked.

ANNIVERSARY OF ATlANTA'S
SHAME

The recent lynching of Leo Frank,
a Jew, in Georgia, has aroused the
country more than the murders of
thousands of colored people in the
South during the past twenty years.
But only nine years have passed
since Atlanta, Georgia, was the scene
of one of the most uncalled for and
bloodiest riots ever recorded in his
tory. Colored men and women were
ruthlessly slaughtered because of race
hatred; not single one killed had
been guilty of any crime whatever.
The massacre was caused by the in.
cendiary editorials of the Atlanta
News and Journal, owned by Hoke
Smith, since Governor of Georgia and
now United States senator from that
state.
In his gubernatorial canvass Smith
also made incendiary speeches incit
ing the Caucasians against colored peo
pie and demanding that the race be
disfranchised.
Senator Hoke Smith is said to be
the author of the Jim crow policy OF
the present administration and he has
the active support of Vardaman, Hef
lin and nearly every Southerner in
Congress.
THE APPEAL reprints in this is
sue "A Litany of Atlanta" by DR.. w
E. Burghardt Du Bots, editor of The
Crisis. 1t was written just after the
riot, the author being at that time a
resident of Atlanta.
