ADVANCE OF CIVILIZATION.

The Canadian expedition which has
been for three years exploring and
making scientific Investigations along
the north coast of the American con-
tinent has returned, bringing much
important data from that frozen
region. One of the most interesting
bits of information is that which re-
lates to the progress of civilization
in Arctic lands. ',.5
DR.. r. N. Anderson, who conducted
the scientific researches, notes great
changes in the actions of the natives
since he first visited them in 1911.
Here is Paragraph from his report:
Begging petty pilfering seemed
to be. more common than I found
them when I first went into the arctic
regions. The natives are in general
very hospitable and kindly disposed,
but they are now anxious for white
men to come in with trading mate
rails. I do not think they have had,
as yet, enough contact with white
men to change their demeanor or
nature very much, but it must be ad.

AMERIcANs-THAT's ALL,

For many years it has been the
custom to treat colored people as
aliens, although they are more than
ninety-n1ne 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 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.

no denial by Major Motion of the
charges as stated in the public press.
THE APPEAL agrees with the Cleve-
land Gazette, that the Age evidently
means we'll, but that Major Motion is
fully able to speak for himself.
THE APPEAL believes that if he
is not guilty as charged, Major Motion
ought to reply to the open letter of
the Crisis and issue a signed state
ment repudiating the reports sent out
by the Associated Press.

cipal of Tuskegee, is of more import

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

Many colored people have been in
doubt about Mr.. Hughes stand on
the question of their rights as citi-
zens:
The Republican candidate for presi-
dent settled the matter by his dec
laration in his address before the
students of Fisk University and other
colored citizens at Nashville, Tenn,
when he said:
II say to you that stand, if I stand
for anything, for equal and exact
justice to. all. I stand for the main
tenance of the rights of all citizens
regardless of race or color. The one
word that I love above all others is

things done because of color. You

ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S
SHAME. ~. =

SHAME. -. - -
Ten years have passed since
Atlanta, Georgia, was the scene of
one of the most uncaHed for and
bloodiest riots ever recorded in his.
tory. Colored men and women were
ruthlessly slaughtered because of race
hatred; not a 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
people and demanding that the race
be disfranchised.
Senator Hoke Smith is said to be
the author of the jim-erow policy of
the present administration and he has
the active support of Vardaman, John
Sharpe Williams and nearly every
Southerner in Congress.
THE APPEAL reprints in this is
sue "a Litany of Atlanta" by DR.. w.
d.. Burghardt Du Bots, editor of The
Crisis. It was written just after the
riot, the author being at that time a
resident Of Atlanta.
September, 1916, being the tenth
anniversary of the massacre and the
recent renaissance of burnings and
lynchings in Georgia render the pub
