Else we make a joke Of our high
est boast.
The Color Line in the Catholic Church.
(From the Southwestern Christian Ad-
vocate, New Orleans, Lag
There are two hundred thousand
colored Catholics in the United States
according to Walter F. McEntire,
prominent Catholic, who in telling of
the orders and societies of men and
women working among color people in
the United States, among other things
says in the Tidings, of Los Angeles:
"The Church knows no cOlor-line in
the House of God, and any man who
tries to lay one down is not true
Catholic.''>
This is good reading but it is not
true to fact. There are only two COL
ored priests in the entire Catholic
colored constituency of America, and
the Catholic Church is the only reli-
gious body in America that forces on
it's constituency white ministry.
Moreover, the color issue is drawn as
completely in the Catholic Church as
elsewhere. There was a time when
the Catholic churches welcomed COL
ored people to the affairs but not now.
In st. Joseph Church, New Orleans,
few seats in the rear are marked re-
served for colored.
The American prejudice has at last
full grip on the Catholic Church.

SHOULD REDUCE BURDENS IN
G

David R. Francis, American ambas-
sador at Petrograd, has wisely issued
a statement, in which he explains to
the people of Russia the aims of the
mission headed by ex-senator Root.
There is no person, says Mr.. Francis,
on the commission who desires to in
t1uence Russian internal affairs. This
is intended to dispose of charges and
insinuations that have been made in
ultra-radical Petrograd organs. The
mission has only two functions, the
ambassador declares. One is further
to elucidate the motives and objects
of the United States in entering the
war, and the other to TRY to reduce
the burdens and privations of the Rus
sian people,"
While so much is being ddge to aid
the Russian people, would it not be
we'll to "try to reduce the burdens and
privations'' of certain classes of Amer
lean people, who are in many respects
greater sufferers than the Russians
are.

DEMOCRACY WILL GAIN.

Prof. Charles E. Merriam in an ar
ticle on the WAR for Freedom" as
sumes that as result of the present
war both civil liberty and industrial
democracy will be the gamers in every
country in the world and the United
States will be no exception. Here are
some of the things he has to say:
Since the outbreak of the war
democracy has achieved important sue
cesses, the Significance of which may
we'll be carefully weighed.
First in Importance comes the over
throw of the Russian autocracy, and
the substitution of democracy. Even
the most optimistic friends of free
government had not dared to hope for
so swift and sweeping a victory as has
actually been Won !
I'm England labor has been recog-
nized in the coalition cabinet, and
upon all great industrial questions has
been brought into close cooperation
with the government. Home rule for
Ireland is we'll on it's way, and suffrage
for women is apparently about to
achieve it's final success.
I'm Germany and Austria the rumb-
lings of democracy are being heard,
even above the roar of the cannon.
The abolition of the three class system
in Prussia; the Encouragement of the
Reichstag districts, which have been
unchanged since 1869; the grant of
broader suffrage in Austria, are con-
cessions which the ruling class must
make to the people.
1T is not possible to raise the flag
OF democracy, and organize a great
against autocracy, without ad-
vancing the line of democracy in every
country in the world, whether on one
side of the contest or the other, If

Worse Than BeIqiunn,

New York, July 3.-"Swift and Sc
we're punishment" for the East St.
Louis mobs was demanded by the So
cialist leader, William English Wall
ing, in telegram to President Wilson
today.
Such punishment is necessary, Wall
ing said, because "of the dangerous
effect Of race riots in America on rev.
dictionary Russia, South America and
Japan
Walling characterized the uprising
as partly the result of German agents
Efforts to stir up race war. to keep
American troops at home and partly
the result of an attempt by the South
ern states to keep the Negro under
their thumb.
Speaking as a member of the execu-
tive committee of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, Walling, in his telegram,
said:
The international and military sit
uation calls for Immediate action.
There must be swift and severe pun
1shment for the mob. But this will not
suhce. There should be an immedi-
ate presidential proclamation in the
present military exigency that the full
military power of the nation will be
used IN defense of the lives and lib
erty OF our colored fellow citizens"

They'll tell you this in just these
accents in some of the southern towns

And it was from these towns that
the militiamen came to maintain or
der in East st. LOUIS
This is the whole story of the fail
ure of the militia in the worst race
riot that has disgraced Illinois since
Lovejoy was martyred.
Troops from Northern Illinois should
have been sent into East St. Louis;
troops from Southern Illinois should
not have been sent there. For the twi-
light zone of the Mason and Dixon

Will Sue for DAMAGES.

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, with
former Judge Edward Osgood Brown
of the appellate court president of the
local chapter, is planning to institute
suits under the Illinois statutes against
the city of East St. Louis and St. Clair
county for personal damages on be-
half of the dependents of the Negro
men and women who died at the hands
of the incensed mobs in the orgy of
murder and arson several days ago.
Under the statutes, the dependents
have actions against both the city and
the county for damages to property,
life and limb, the judgments not to ex-
coed $4,000 in each case. This may
mean suits for nearly $1,O00,OO0 when
the final loss Of the, scores killed, the
hundreds injured and the many homes
destroyed is recorded.

The congress of workmen's and
soldiers delegates at Petrograd has
adopted a resolution condemning anti
Jewish agitations, in which it sees
danger of a revolutionary movement.
The resolution demands energetic op-
position to all attempts at anti
semitic agitation, and suppression of
all propaganda of that nature. It
seems that New Russia is outstripping
the United States in democracy. THE
APPEAL suggests that the Congress
OF the United States adopt joint reso-
luton or pass law prohibiting the
lnsidious propaganda against the col
ored people which has been carried on
in the daily press for many years.

there are autocrats who hope to use
the name and seal of democracy as a
means of obtaining political or eco
nomic privilege, they are doomed to
disappointment. They are Enchanting
democratic forces that cannot be
quoted without full recognition of
their position in society and the state.
In the long run, both civil liberty and
industrial democracy will be the gain
ers in every country in the world
America will be no exception
War is horrible thing viewed from
any angle, but good will come out of
it and when it is over many of the old
prejudices and distinctions which have
cursed the world will have been
burned away.

that racial hatred within the United
States is more dangerous than all Ger
mans outside this country.
DR.. Peabody likened the East St.
Louis massacre to the "atrocities of
the unspeakable Turk in Armenia
"The country's perils are not all on
the sea and beyond" said DR.. Pea
body. "Think of the moral earthquake
and volcano that has burst in the
midst of the land, in our own state,
since last we met.
who would have believed that a
massacre that reminds one of St.
Bartholomew night and of the atroci-
ties of the unspeakable Turk in Ar
menia, could occur among our own
felloW-citizens in East St. Louis?
but, BEWARE! The peril is nearer
than that. The mutterings of the vol
cano are felt in Chicago. The single
explosion is not the most significant
thing. The race prejudice, contempt
and hatred, working-working be-
neath-these are the hell below-and
they find some lodgment in all our
hearts; God help us.
There is far more danger to the
republic from race hatred within our
borders than from all the Germans
put together.
"Christian citizens of Chicago, think
this thing through. Try to make up
your mind beforehand what you will
do and say when the earthquake and
the volcano shall be around you. Our
country is in dire need of clear heads
and stout hearts-Christian hearts,
both within and without"
