ONE DOLLAR PER POUND.

A white slave" investigation is be-
Ing pulled off in New York City. It
is all white. The buyers, the sellers
and all are pure white"
One of the first things unearthed
was the fact that it is a common &C.
currence to sell young girls for i'm
moral purposes at auction by the
weight, and one dollar per pound is
the prevailing rate for young
chickens. The quotation on old hens
was not given.
The Shiny trial, with it's wrecks of
young girls, it's stories of men who
lived off the earnings of women held
in virtual bondage, stories of women
orgies participated in by the new
rich" runs right into highest society
circles in the metropolis.
It's a dirty mess, the greater part
of the testimony in the courts being
unprintable and, mind you, it's all
white. The superior" Caucasians
are welcome to the whole white bust
ness.
However, after the revelations in
New York, Chicago, Baltimore and
other American cities it ill becomes
the pure whites" to spread abroad
any more lies about the immortality
of the colored people.

IN THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY,

In his speech at Nashville, Tenn,
in the enemys country, Charles e.
Hughes made a bitter attack upon
President Wilson and the Democratic
Congress for meeting the demands of
the railroad employees for an eight
hour day by the passage of the Adam
son bill.
The address was delivered in the
auditorium before a packed audience
of 5000 people, large majority of
whom were openly hostile to the
speaker, and many Of them attempted
to start demonstration for Wilson by
Kisses and cat-calls, but his fighting
words won the crowd and they
greeted him with tremendous ap-
plause.
Mr.. Hughes walked calmly to the
front of the platform and said:
II shall not soon forget the warmth
of the welcome of this vociferous
meeting" he said. 1T is a great de-
light to have the pleasure of visiting
and it has been peculiarly
grateful to me to receive many cour-
tesies at the hands of the good people
here, quite regardless of their party
affiliations"

WILLIAM MONROE TRoTTER.


The unceasing warfare against in
justice and wrong which has been
waged by William Monroe Trotter,
editor of the Boston Guardian, ought
to win for him a warm spot in the
heart of every right-thinking human
being.
With his pen and tongue, he has
done much to quicken the moral fiber
of the colored people and they are
learning the lesson that sacrifices
must be made, if they would win tho
great battle for civil and political
rights.
There are no frills and furbelows
about William Monroe Trotter. He is
a plain, earnest, honest, upright man,
who has decided to give up wealth,
official preferment and worldly honors
to dedicate his life to noble cause.
THE APPEAL has always admired
him because he is an UNCOMPRO-
Missing advocate of right and justice.
While the majority of the so-called
leaders have equivocated and COM
promised the people for gold or

for President requesting him to have
the campaign conducted on a platform
Of "undiluted Americanism" using the
words which he had adopted as his
slogan.
Since that time a number of let
tiers have been written to the Re-
publican leaders from Chairman Will
cox down, asking that all segregated
features be eliminated.
August 16, the editor again ad-
dressed Mr.. Hughes, sending the fol-
lowing telegram:
Saint Paul, MIMI, August 16, 1916.
Hon. Charles Evans Hughes,
Republican Candidate for President,
On tour, Portland, Ore.
You have voiced "undiluted Ameri-
canism" as the slogan Of the Repub-
lican campaign. The colored people
are undiluted and unhyphenated
Americans, born in America, and
they desire to be treated as all other
Americans are treated. This is a pro-
test against the formation of a jim
crow annex to handle the colored
voters in the campaign. They have
suffered too much from segregation
by the Democrats to relish it in the
Republican party. To segregate the
colored people is to place them be-
You'd the pale of Americanism. Trust
you will prevent the execution of any
such plans.

coLoRED RACE CONGRESS.
Will Be Held at Washington, D. c.,
September 25-27 to Discuss Race
Prescription and Other Evils

Boston, Mass, Sept. 1.-THE Ma
tional Colored Citizenship Rights Con-
gress will be held in Washington, D.
c., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
Sept. 1927. After canvass of the
situation and receiving suggestions
from many raie champions over the
country Rev. Byron Gunner of Hill
burn, N. Y, president of the National
Equal Rights League, which proposed
and calls the congress in lieu largely
of it's ninth annual meeting, an
nounces the capital Of the nation as
the consensus of opinion to hold this
race congress on equality of rights
No place could be more fitting.
This National Colored Congress is
to be an open one, both to delegated
persons and to individual representa-
tives of the cause who attend on their
own responsibility. 1t is to be free
and open for race conference, action
and declaration The congress will
organize itself independently. The
Equal Rights League will call it to
order and those assembled will then
create the congress.
Racial fraternizing, mutual &C.
quaintance, unity of spirit and of
progress, exchange of notes on local
conditions, race unity of feeling and
a future national working together of
rights, united declaration to the
country of colored Americans on color
prescription, are among the purposes
of this gathering. No move will i'm
press the white American public of
our presence, number, capacity and
spirit for equal rights, like an actual
national convention attended by large
numbers of colored citizens from
| various states.
Delegated representatives are quite
advisable, and churches, civic and lit
erary societies, fraternal organiza-
tons, political and other clubs are
| asked to elect and send delegates.
The call asks that a Citizens Equal
Rights Committee be formed by
public spirited citizens in each COM
munity to work up interest, hold
public meeting and send representa-
tives. Any person is at liberty to
start such a committee. Act at once.
Secretary VIM. Monroe Trotter at
20 Cornhill, Boston, will be glad to
receive suggestions and inquiries.

Y. S. WARNS TURKEY!

The American embassy in Constan-
hnople has been instructed by the
state department to make representa-
lions to the porte in behalf of Ar
menlans who are threatened by the
Turkish advance into Persia.
The representations call on the
Turkish government, Gin the name of
humanity" not to permit any mas
sacre of Armenians in Persia. The
purpose is said to be to forewarn
turkey against any such situation as
prevailed in Asia Minor.
The Turks will not pay any atten-
ton to any representation in the
name OF humanity" because they know
that they are hypocritical, and that
humanity has little place in the
United States. .-- .
The Turks know that colored men
and women and children are mas
sacred without mercy and lynched
without trial in the Southern murder
belt. They know that the colored
people who are not killed are cowed
and disseminated against and meet
with injustice from the cradle to the
grave.
The Turks know that the worst
enemy the colored people have in this
country is the so-called Christian
church, which is continually denounc-
ing the Turks as barbarians. The
treatment of their brethren of darker
hue by the Caucasian Christians rep
resents the very refinement of hellish
brutality rather than human brother
hood.
Instead of making hypocritical rep
reservations to the Turkish govern
ment, the. United States government
ought to stop segregation of citizens
in the civil service and I'm the name
of humanity" President Wilson, Sec-
rotary Lansing ct al ought to tell
Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and
the other hellocracies of the South
that the ruthless murder of colored
Christians must cease within the bor-
ders of this Christian CD land.

KEEP "DEVlL" IN M. e. RITUAL.

Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
church are willing to have the mar
rage ceremony shortened, to dis
countenance the old doctrine of "in-
FAINT depravity." But they refuse to
take devil" out Of their ritual.
These facts were learned with the
arrival in st. Paul of the revised book
of discipline and ritual with more
changes in it than have been made
in years. The alterations were made
at the general conference in Sara
toga Springs last May. It was decided
not to eliminate the word devil"
And it is well that the word has
been retained in the book because it
is in the hearts of the majority of
the people who attended the confer
ence at which one of the most devil
ish, hellish and unchristian actions
ever legislated in church conference
vas enacted-the union of the North
ern and Southern Methodists.

ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S
SHAME.

Ten years have passed since
Atlanta, Georgia, was the scene of
one of the most uncalled for and
bloodiest riots ever recorded in his
tory. CQlored 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-crow: policy of
the present administration and he has
the active support of Vardaman, John

split over slavery was in itself not
wrong, but the fact that it was made
the basis of the segregation of the
colored members. The Southern white
members refused to come back unless
the colored membership was segre-
gated for all time, the cowardly
colored ours who call themselves
leaders, silently acquiescing in the
insult to the Christ.
AS the devil himself is in the
people of the church, by all means
the word "devil' should stay in the
ritual.

CIVILIZATION VS.. THE MOB.

C1VIL1ZAITO VS.. HE MOB.
Sixteen members of the mob which
stormed the Jail at Lima, Ohio, last
week in an attempt to lynch colored
man charged with crime have been
indicted. Thirteen of the sixteen have
been arrested and are in jail. 1t is
believed that 100 indictments will be
returned.
That is the difference between
Ohio, where the law is respected, and
Georgia, where the mob rules su-
preme.
Ohio acts within a week; Georgia
never acts.

go round on payday and see them
dole out 81 or So to some little work

wouldn't do them good.
But, if you are not Christ and are
only looking for some soft dough,
don't play Halsted street. We've had
so much of Christianity in the guise
of the Salvation Army and other up

you to chase yourself up a dark alley.
