FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE,

Word comes from Denmark that
there is great public discomfort over
the sale of the Danish West Indies
to the United States. Many Danes say
that the idea of disposing of Danish
subjects without consulting them or
the Danish people as a whole is un-
worthy of a Democratic government.
Ninety-five per cent of the inhabi-
tants are colored people and they are
being sold to this country at the rate
of about $500 head. And their lot
will be terrible if the sale is ratified
by the Danish rigsdag, as they will
have to live under jimcrow govern
ment the same as the ten million
colored people already here.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1916-08-12
NO JIMCROW WANTED.

No doubt attempts will be made to
, organize the colored people along jim
crow lines in the coming Republican
campaign and the efforts will in many
cases be made by shortsighted and
misguided colored men themselves,
men who fail to see the Importance of
not segregating themselves.
The colored people are American
citizens? For about ten generations
they have lived in this country and
there is no hyphen in their make up
They have suffered from segregation
and as this campaign is to be, to use
Mr.. Hughes own words, one of "un.
diluted Americanism," there ought
not to be any separation, but the PEG.
pie of every race, class and creed
should work together as Americans for
the election of Republican president.
Every effort to reach the colored
people should be made through the
Republican National Committee and
not delegated by that committee to
any group of self-seekers who may at
| tempt to use the campaign to further
their own selfish ends to the detriment
of the masses of the people.
AS matter of fact the colored peo-
pie are Republicans and the majority
have remained true to the party. In
the last campaign large number did
revolt against some of the injustices
of the Republican party but the treat
ment they have received at the hands
of the Democracy has taught them a
salutary lesson.
Good colored speakers should be en-
gagged in the campaign, but in the
regular way, through the regular
speakers bureau and not through any
| segregated headquarters Colored men
and women stenographers and other
| employees ought to have a fair share
| of the campaign work at the regular
headquarters.
The colored people feel very keenly
the humiliations which have been
placed upon them by the Democratic
administration and if colored men and
women are recognized and treated
simply as Americans in the campaign
it will make the whole class enthusi-
| aStic for the ticket and win votes for
the party.
To segregate the colored people in
the campaign is to place the race be-
You'd the pale of Americanism.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1916-08-12

The tickets for the automobile ride
through the city were issued to the
colored delegates just the same as to
those of other nationalities and all
delegates were instructed to take
autos at the Congress Hotel.
Shortly before the hour for the ride,
some self-important colored men who
wished to get little glory for them
selves and boom their club asked that
the autos be sent to club tout South
for the colored delegates.
Rev. Carey, the colored representa-
tive on the committee, objected to this
and told the people so, but as num-
Der seemed to desire it and rather
than mar the proceedings by row,
he reluctantly consented to the ar
rangement. So the majority of the
delegates were in this manner sepa-
rated from the main body of the visit
ors. It was due entirely to the jim
crow ideas of some of the colored peo-
pie themselves and was granted after
Rev. Carey had protested against it..
Mayor Thompson had nothing what
ever to do with it,
/. A number of the colored delegates
who were not pleased with the plans
of the segregationists went to the
Congress Hotel and were given seats
in the autos which left from that place.
THE APPEAL believes it is but fair
to Mayor Thompson that this charge
against him be refuted. He has been
a consistent friend of the colored peo-
pie for many years and has given the
race better representation in high SAL
aried places than any Mayor Chicago
ever had.

llTERACY LAW DEFEATED.

Oklahoma has been guilty of many
crimes against certain classes of it's
citizens, but things seem to be look
ing up in that state, as the returns
show that the proposed literacy test
amendment to the state constitution
has been defeated by majority of
about $4,000.
The test would have disfranchised
any person unable to read and write
any section of the state constitution
and was admittedly intended as a SUBJ
stitute for the famous grandfather"
law declared unconstitutional by the
United States Supreme Court because
it in effect deprived colored men of
the right to vote.

Many had come long way to attend
this party and they didn't want it to
end in a minute. Everybody was
happy; they shouted and sang like a
bunch of fans at ball game, accord
ing to a Waco paper.
When the boys clothes had been
cut up and distributed as souvenirs
there were not enough pieces to 20
around, so somebody cut off an ear for
his keepsake. The Waco Times-Her-
aid, published the same afternoon,
said: ION the way to the scene of
the burning, people Oh every side took
hand in showing their feelings in
the matter by striking the Negro with
anything obtainable; some struck him
with -shovels, bricks, clubs, and others
stabbed him and cut him until when

solid color of red, the blood of the
many wounds inflicted covered him

around his neck, this half-dead crea

The statement of the Chicago cor

that Mayor Thompson of Chicago jim

Republican National convention is
without foundation in fact.
Mayor Thompson appointed Rev. A..

minister of the Institutional Church,
a member of the general committee
of arrangements for the convention
and he was present at nearly all of
the meetings to see that there was

thousand people had sanctioned the
affair by their presence and dozens OF
pictures were taken, there was nc
difficulty in ascertaining the names
and addresses of the ring-leaders and
the failure of both the judge and
sheriff to make the slightest effort tc
protect their prisoner. The Associa
ton is bending every effort to secure
distinguished Texas lawyer with
courage enough to bring the case
against these murderers into court.
Politics, the investigator found, was
at the bottom of the affair. Sam

THE WACO HORROR.

THE APPEAL prints in this issue
the special report of an agent of the
National Association for the Advance.
ment of Colored People, who was sent
to Texas to investigate the recent
handwriting at Waco, the center of
Texas Christian Civilization.
) The report says: "This is the &C.
count of one lynching. It is horrible.
but it is matched in horror by scores
of others in the last thirty years, and
in it's illegal, law-defying, Fascinating
aspect, it is matched by 2,S42 other
lynchings which have taken place be-
tween January 1, 1885, and June 1,
1916"
What are We going to do about
this record? The civilization of
America is at stake. The sincerity of
Christianity is challenged. The Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People proposes i'm
mediately to raise fund of at least
$4,000 to start a crusade against this
modern barbarism. Already $4,000 is
promised, conditional on our raising
the whole amount
THE APPEAL has made con-
tribution to the fund and hopes that
every American who believes in the
supremacy of the law and the per-
petuity of democracy to give to the
cause according to his means.

The District Judge of the Criminal
Court, r. I. Munroe, elbowed his way
to his desk, and the boy was brought
from his chambers, where he had been
secreted since the sheriff brought him
from Dallas in the middle of the night.
AS the jurors were called, the crowd
yelled, eve don't need any jury!"

Sheriff Fleming sneaked out, too.
Then a big fellow in the back of
the court room yelled, Get the Mig

had pronounced judgment, without the
Judge lifting finger in protest. Down
the back stairs they rushed him to
