FUND TO AID AMERIcANlSM.

The following letter is self-explana-
tory.
St. Paul, Mimi, March 80, 1917.
DR.. w. E. B. Dubois, National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored people, New York City
Dear DR.. Dubois: The colored peo-
pie of the United States are passing
through one of the most dangerous Pc
RODS of their existence.
Surrounded by foes without, some
of whom come as wolves in sleeps
clothing, pretending to be friends, the
most subtle enemy is the foe within,
the creatures who are willing to COM
promise with the outer enemy and
barter away the rights of American
citizenship.
There is no need to write a long
statement of the many dangers which
beset the colored American, as the
conditions are well-known to every
thinking man.. es L..
In order to do in humble way
what can to change conditions I am
sending $500 to be the nucleus of a
fund which I trust the National Assoc
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People will endeavor to raise
for the purpose of fighting any jim
crow army legislation which may bob
up in the congress which convenes
April 2.
Bills for a segregated West Point
and other pernicious measures will no
doubt be introduced. Such infamous
legislation should be fought to finish
and the N. A. A. G. p. is the organ
ization to do the work.
The money sent is to be used as di-
rected and for no other purpose what
gyer.
Yours for Americanism,

NOT a sEcREaAT,onIsT.

A recent issue OF THE APPEAL
contained an editorial which referred
to statement Of the Chicago Tribune
that Mr.. George H. Jackson, wealthy
real estate dealer of that. city, had
advocated segregation. The editor
also wrote a letter to Mr.. Jackson
about the matter and his reply is now
at hand.
THE APPEAL has no desire to mis-
represent anyone, SO it is with pleas
ure that we print Mr.. Jackson's letter
in which he denies that he advocated
segregation. He says that the Chicago
Tribune wilfully misrepresented him
and refused to make correction when
asked to do so. Mr. Jackson's letter
follows: .,.@

GOD GIVE Us MEN.

God give men! A time like this demands
Strong minds great hearts, true faith and ready hands;
Men whom the lust Of Office does not kill;
Men whom the spols Of Office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and will;
Men who have honor-men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before demagogue
And damn his treacherous batteries without winlng!
Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking

GEORGE H. JACKSON.

Now that it is known that it was
Manns who advocated segregation, the
colored people of Chicago ought to see
that he is muzzled. He is menace.

TIE MAN WHO DARES

I honor the man who in the consci-
entious discharge of his duty dares to
stand alone; the world, with ignorant,
intolerant judgment, may condemn,
the countenances Of relatives may be
averted, and the hearts Of friends grow
cold, but the sense Of duty done shall
be sweeter than the applause Of the
world. the countenances Of relatives or
the hearts Of friends. = Charles Summer.

An Interesting Test of MIts.

A game that affords fun and an in- teresting test of wits Is your native town" At q party 1t will tide over any dull moments that threaten. Pro- vide the players with paper and pencils and ask them all to write the places of their birth. Then give them a limited time in which to make a sentence con- slsting of words that begin with the letters in the name of the town and follow the same order.
 For example, if the city is Baltimore, then the sentence might be. Behold, a large town in Maryland, old, rich, en- terprising" The more aptly descriptive of the town the better is the sentence. At the end of a specified time have the players read their sentences, and, if you wish, award q prize to the best one.-Youth's Companion.

During our trip through the Philip pines we visited the dog market, where the IgorrOtes bought and sold half starved canines with visions of great feast off the pro:rCding ribs. The Igor rotes are aDou. as much like the cultur- ed Filipinos as tlcy are like cultured Americans or cultured Japanese. But the fact that the IcOrrotes eat dogs has done as much to prejudice us against the FiIipinoS as has the story that the Chinese eat rats to turn us against the well bred Chinese, who not only do not eat rats, but even have a distaSte for caviar and limburger. - Maynard Owen Williams in Christian Herald.

PERSONAL OPINION

IN the new earth for which we ] look the individual man is to
 have a vastly larger horizon call it world consciousness, or the international mind, or world citi- zenship, or what you will. We have been little Americans-we may as well confess it-BUT WE SHALL NEVER RETREAT INTO OUR PROVINCIALISM AGAIN.
 We cannot talk of patriotism un- less We are willing to come to the support of the nation with purse as well as rifle, with honest tax bills as well as flags over the front door. We must drop our secturianism and party distinctions. Faction now is treason, and pickering is betrayal of the cause.
 In the new earth right thinking is to be the basis of right action. If we would cure the world of war we must drive straight at the causes of war-falSe ideas and ideals.
