AssAILs U. s. DEMOCRACY.

mot until the United States has
given self-government to the women
can it blaze the way for democracy"
declared Carrie Chapman Gait, presi.
dent of the National Women's Suf-
frage Association. in an address be-
fore the Mississippi Valley Suffrage
Conference at Columbus, Ohio. She
criticized the United States for posing
in the world as the champion of de.
mocracy when lit is only democracy
for half the people,
Mrs. Gait was relentless in her
charge that "ours is democracy that
doesn't 'democ.'" 1--WE had better blot
the mote from our own eyes before we
go forth and want to blot it from the
russians eye," she said, declaring
further that the United States has no
right to talk about making the world
safe for democracy" as long as it be-
l1eves in drawing the sex line.
There is nothing more illogical"
she said, than to insist that men have
inc divine right to rule over women
and say at the same time that kings
haven't divine right to rule over men.
ours is not true democracy. The
battle of democracy won't be won in
this country until we rebaptize our
nation and re-establish real democracy.
The national government SAYS
woman suffrage must come by states
and not by congress. Congress can
declare war and conscript our sons.
seize our food and Clothes, but it can
not grant the underlying principle of
democracy. 1t is a curious thing.
1T is a shame that under the Stars
and Stripes the women should still
be struggling for recognition. Every
body in England believes women there
will have full suffrage by Christmas.
The followers of George III. have beat,
en- the followers of George Washing
ION IN the race"
Now let's do little figuring. If it
IS true that the U. S. is only democ-
racy for half the people, as Mrs. Gait
states, and we add the 100000 COL
ored people who are debarred from
the benefits of democracy, that means
that 100000 of the 100, 900 900 inhab-
itants are shut off from SOME OF the
rights and immunities of citizenship
and only 4S,0O0,0OO rule 100000, 900. If
that does not mean autocracy, what
is it? s --.. -

THE NEW HAMPTON MOVEMENT

THE NEW HAMPTON MOVEMENT.
The meaning of the sudden "Ham
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:
1.-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-
ceived 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
DARK1ES are making great progress"
What does it mean?

RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.

That valiant defender of the rights
OF the colored people, John Mitchell,
Jr., has an editorial in his paper, the
Richmond Planet, which is a gem. We
reproduce it in full:
DR.. H. B. Frissell has issued a pa
triotic address to the colored people
OF the country and from every stand
point save one, it is an admirable
production. We are disposed to take
issue with him, however, when he
says:
"As DR.. Washington and DR.. Motion
have proved by their lives of quiet,
unpretentious service, the colored man
is going to secure recognition, not by
demanding his rights, but by deserv-
ing them"
A right is thing to be demanded;
privilege, thing to be deserved.
If DR.. -Frissell had said that the col
ored man is going to secure recogni-
ton by demanding his rights and by
deserving them, we would understand
fully that he recognized that the citi-
zen of color is entitled to every right
and every privilege enjoyed by any
other citizen. We pause to remark
that the colored people in this coun-
try will never come unto their own
as long as they believe that they are
inherently inferior and that they are
not manly enough to deserve their
rights, and after deserving their
rights, to demand them. w..
The badge of servility, better known
by the look of cowardice and the
hating attitude of submission to any
wrong, is what is handicapping us
more than anything else- Colored peo-
pie who could lead a charge at Ell
Caney and San Juan Hill should walk
upright, and, while being respectful
and obliging, should demand their
rights when necessary and "dig deep
in their jeans" to secure the neces-
sary legal rights which will make them
respected by their enemies in the
courts of this country. Manhood is
what is wanted and not servile sub
mission. A blooded white man hates
a cringing citizen, be he black or
white, and he admires manhood, self
respect and courage in a Negro as

upon US since emancipation and the
elevation to citizenship supposed to
be equal to that of all other Ameri-
cans. We have lost ground, South
and North, because we have not
fought, and when we have resisted,
have lacked leadership, while other
supposed leaders have played into the
hands OF our enemies. AS race, we
have been burlesqued, abused and hui
inflated by the thoughtless (some,
members of the race), as well as by
those hostile to our interests, simply
because there was lacking proper re-
sentiment on our part and a determi-
nation to take a stand for our rights

cept the limitations though they
greatly desire them and have the price
demanded. In the case of necessities,
they will fight restrictions and limit,
as far as is within their power, the
demand for them.

DEMOCRACY IN THE BALANCE.

The validity of racial segregation
ordinances of many cities has been
argued before the full Supreme Court
of the United States. The test case
was that of a Louisville ordinance es-
tablishing residence zones for whites
and colored people. Baltimore, Rich
mond, st. Louis and many other cities
have similar ordinances whose fate de-
ponds upon the courts decision in the
Louisville case. Attorneys represent

ociations and colored societies, includ-
ing some attorneys of national repute

The case attracted little attention in
the press of the country, although it
is the most momentous question ever
presented to the court of last resort
The fate of democracy itself rests
upon the answer to the question
whether the law can divide citizens
into classes.
What will the answer be?

Why does not the Tribune go the

compilations are a trifle darker than
the other nationalities mentioned?
But in war which elects democ-
racy as the principle there ought to

the lands which are allied to the prin-

real sense is about to fight for the

"DANGER FROM THE REAR"

One of the most versatile, logical
and sensible writer's of the present
day is Herbert Kaufman. Recently
he had something to say under the
above caption that furnished food for
much thought. Among other things,
he said:
Every multi-millionaire leaves be-
mind him some bad investments. It is
impossible for everybody to be right
In everything. Unusual fortunes are
a matter of chance and Judgment
of exercising judgment and taking
chances.
Don't boast that you never made a
mistake. If it's true, you probably
didn't make anything else. Caution.

to embrace those principles of cour-
ageous manhood which resent wrong
when wilfully and maliciously given.
The weight of these institutions will
be sought to stem the tide of emigra-
ton from the south. We hope they
will speak out and utter the truth.
The colored people of the south have
nothing to fear by leaving there.
They may die by reason of the cold
in this section (and this it not at all
probable) but that is more merciful
than dying by the rope and at the
mouth of the shotgun. Here in the
north their children can receive the
education any child receives, and their
ambition will not be curtailed by
making them believe and recognize
the fallacy that they are inferior to
some one else. If the south desires
the black people to remain there let
them lift the embargo on education,
voting, protection of life and prop
erty, and discontinue "jim-crowism,"
segregation and general cussedness.
Black people are insulted when they
are asked to accept such as their
portion. The trustees of HAMPTON
and Tuskegee should recognize the
fact that their work must fail if thew
continue to try to build up a race
tnat is too weak and cowardly to
demand it's rights. These white trus-
tees should demand for their wards
a greater degree of freedom of
thought and action than they now
nave. The wandering to the wishes
OF tne south is not making it better
Tor the colored race but it is firmly
establishing a policy which the whole
race will be asked to accept. Now.
the colored people not in the south
ern states will NEVER ACCEPT the
policy of the South. Colored men
working there have the sympathy of
those Of us who are not there. but
we will not stand for any loud
mouthed proclaiming that the colored
race should accept the policy as
Taught by Hampton and Tuskegee.
