Germany Mad, Says Taft
We Are Fighting a People
Diseased, He Declares

MlDDLET0WN, Conn, Nov. r.
Former President William Howard
Taft, addressing 300 Y. NJ. c. A. work
ers here to-day. said:
ave must not be misled into the be-
lief that we are not fighting the Ger
man people. for we are fighting the
German people. who are being led by
their Kaiser and the German war ma
chine.
"The German people. outside OF
some of the Socialists. ne said. have
become "obsessed with the idea that
they are better pjeople-a sort of
superman. Gradually a psychological
change has been wrought in people
who are by nature kindly, sentimental
and home-loving, till they have come
TO believe fundamentally that force is
virtue, that force makes right, and
that the only sin for the nation Is
weakness"
Mr.. Taft said these IDEAS had pro-
duced a people who were like ma |
dog among the family Of nations. and
the only way 20 get rid of that mad dog
is to kill il.

But the rest parched better az they

and they were back in France. and
there was sun in the sky and meat and
potatoes and perhaps onions stewing

The Old General
Reports a Victory

This evening when ] went to see
MY old friend the general, just be-
fore dinner, he told me that he had
had news of great battle near Metz,
in which the French army had been
cut off and practically destroyed,
with loss Of $4,000 prisoners. IL
sounds about as probable as some Of
the other yarns. In view Of the fact
that my friend had no telegraphic
communication was curious TO know
where he got his information, but my
gentle queries did not bring forth
any news on that point.
The Germans now expect to cstab-
lish themselves for some time here in
Brussels. They are going to occupy
the various governmental depart
ments, and it is quite possible that
for some time we shall have TO deal
exclusively with them. The govern
ment TO which we are accredited has
faded away, and we are left here
with a condition and not theory.
We shall have TO deal with the con-
dtion, and am not at all sure that
the condition will not require some
pretty active dealing with. Func-
t!onarics are 10 be brought from Ber-
lin TO administer the various depart
ments, so that it is evidently expect

TRIBUNE VOMlTS AGAIN.

The following from the Chicago
Tribune seems like a voice from the
tomb. It is on a par with some of
the stuff printed by the copperhead
Tribune before and during the slave
holders rebellion. The writer may
have been born since 1870 but his
think machine was evidently cast in
one of the left over molds of 1850. It
lis headed::,
go BLACK MAN. STAY SOUTH! H.
They say down south that "niggers
aresa,i right il their place." but where
is that place? South? At Memphis,
Tenn, a. Negro was recently burned
alive. North? At East St. Louis, III,
Negroes are smobbed, beaten, and run
out of town.
We taunt the south with race preju-
dice when it burns bad nigger," but
just see how we northerners detest
even good 'niggers!" The real race
prejudice is ours. Our very phi1an-
thropists betray it. They saw to- a
black man, God bless you, good-by,"
whereas the south says, g. -
you, come here!" Or put it this way:
The northerner is a great friend of
the Negro but not of a Negro; the
outherner is a great friend of Negro,
but not of the Negro.
Prof. Munsterberg once described
the race as "passi7e at every turn of
fortune" yet within the last year
Negroes by the thousand have actively
undertaken to find place for them
selves. They have come north. It
was huge mistake. They escape bar
barous punishment for their occasional
crimes while winning no appreciation
for their habitual virtues. They are
disliked. When their presence be-.
comes a burden; as at East St. Louis,
they are abused.
1t is on these terms only that they
enjoy the longed for liberties of the
north"-its social equality" for in
stance. But do they really enjoy that?
Our observation goes to show that the
Negro is happiest when the white race
asserts its superiority, provided that
sympathy and understanding accom-
pany the assertion. Not long ago a
Virginian noticed very gloomy black
porter in a northern hotel, and, learn
ing that the Negro had come from
Virginia, said, you - - black

A NEEDED WAR MEASURE.

The government of the United
States ought to stop lynching as a
needed war measure. AS a military
necessity, loyal patriotic citizens
ought to have chance for their lives
and no man, even though he be inno-
cent of crime is safe when the lyncher
is abroad. @...---
The stern hand of military law
ought to descend upon the people
who are defying the law and making
a nockery of democracy.
The. daily newspapers often con-
tain "scare heads and accounts of
horrible man burnings, where the
victim is drenched with oil and
burned at the stake. If some of these
papers should get out of the country
and fall into the hands of the Ger
mans who have despoiled Belgium or
into the hands of the Turks who have
massacred the Armenians they might
use them as a justification of their
atrocities. ...
Loyal patriotic citizens of the
United States demand the suppress
sion of lynching and the summary
punishment of the lynchers as a
needed war measure.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1917-06-09

and the Koreans? Is it because their
compilations are trifle darker than
the other nationalities mentioned?
But in a war which elects democ-
racy as the principle there ought to
be a different condition in some of
the lands which are allied to the prin-
ciple. The United States, which in, a
real sense is about to fight for the
security of the United States, and in
equally real sense is about to fight
for the principle of democracy, would
hight better if the allies to which it
is Joined were better established in
consistency
Speaking of consistency, the Tri-
bune could do great work along that
line by advocating justice for the
colored American citizens who are in
suited, and oppressed by the state
governments of the South and whose
lives are never safe from the murder
GUS Southern mob. But instead it has
not been a very long time since this
same Tribune advocated the stripping
from the colored citizen the few rights
he now enjoys.

THE NEW HAMPTON MOVEMENT

- -
The meaning of the sudden "Hamp-
ton Patriotic Movement now being
pulled off in Chicago, Detroit and
other Northern cities isn't quite clear.
THE APPEAL has received a num-
Der OF letters and newspaper clippings
from the daily papers bearing ON the
subject and CLEANS from them the idea
that there is something queer about
the movement"
The papers state that one DR..
Charles F. Taylor of New York, one of
the leaders in the movement who is
now making speeches in Chicago,
where the segregation question has
reached an acute stage, has on several
occasions asserted to white audiences:
The negro wants segregation as much
as or more than the white man." This
statement is not only false, but it is
dangerous and unfriendly doctrine to
be disseminated by the representative
of an institution which claims to stand
for christian" training and "uplift'
and all that sort of stuff.
The writer of one of the letters re-
celved by THE APPEAL, states that
she visited the Hampton exhibit at
the Hotel La Sale where she was in
formed by the charming lady who has
charge of the exhibit, that "the
DARklES are making great progress"
What does it mean?

INCONSISTENCY, THOU ART A

The Chicago Tribune, noted for it's
inconsistency and illogical reasoning,
has an article on Home Rule for Ire
Land and a free Poland It also says:
1--WE can find plenty of reasons for
insisting that the war shall, free the
Armenians from the Turks. shall give
Greece republic, Russia democracy,
Belgium an assurance of integrity
France a promise of security, and that
it shall enable the statute of Liberty
in New York harbor to shine un-
dimmed
eve do not ask that our allies free
the Moroccans, the Hindus, or the
Koreans, but it seems within reason
to ask that they give Home Rule to
the Irish and thus help the United
States in one of it's own local prob
lems."
Why does not the Tribune 20 the

freedom for the Moroccans, the Hindus

points in Dr.Frissell's recent memo
rial, the Guardian says: -.
Thus saith in very truth the Planet,
I'VE rise also to deny directly that

striking thing about the race-leader-

that coincident with it went the great
est period of loss of citizenship and
OF legal debarment from rights ever
known in any race and especially dur
ing the time DR.. Washington preached
most pronouncedly the doctrine of
quietly deserving rights. No further
exposition of that matter by US is any

AN INSULT TO PATRIOTS

The registration for the selective
draft is over. It passed without any
serious disturbances anywhere in the
United States, although many arrests
were made of people who were guilty
of aiding the anti-registration propo--
ganda. So far as the dispatches show,
not single colored citizen of the.
United States was delinquent in any
way whatever.
And the colOred people constitute
the only group of which this can be
said.
Now that the registration is over, it
must not be forgotten, the colored
citizens were subjected to an Infamous
insult and one which was not offered
to any other class of citizens. The
insult consisted of the inscription in
the lower left hand corner OF the
registration card. IF person is OF
African descent tear off this corner
It was an insulting classification,
separation and segregation to which
no other group was subjected, not
even German aliens and spies or
