END AUTOCRACY OF COLOR
Asks Editor of THE APPEAL in an Appeal Wired t,
President Wilson the Eve of His
Departure for Peace Table.
Calls Color Line Greater Menace to Permanent World
Peace Than Hun Mlitarism Just Overthrown
Asks President to Aid the Oppressed of All Nations
Races, Colors, Creeds and Sex in Realizing
Liberty, Fraternity and Equality
Saint Paul, MIMI, Dec. 2, 1918

Saint Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2, 1918:
To the President,
White House,
Washington, D. G.
Sir:
Now that the world war is over and
military autocracy has been doomed,
appeal to you as the representative
of the United States at the Peace
Table, to demand the abolition of that
greater menace to the peace of the
world, THE AUTOCRACY OF COLOR.
Through the centuries the colored
races of the globe have been subjected
to the most unjust and inhuman treat
ment by the so-called white peoples.
Every atrocity which the Huns have
inflicted on the helpless white peoples
of the world during the four years of
war now ending, has been suffered by
the colored peoples of the world for
more than four hundred years.
In the recent war the colOred races
have furnished as many men as the
white races have supplied, if the labor
and fighting units are both counted,
and now that victory has been won,
it is but just that the color line which
has hampered the progress of the col
ored peoples, should be abolished at
once. Not only that, but the op-
pressed of the white race should be
delivered from oppression.
Mr.. President, shall endeavor to
outline program which should meet
the approval of every believer in world
democracy:
1. Home rule for Ireland.
2. Home rule for India.
3. Home rule for all colonies which
desire it.
4. Self-determination for the people
of all countries, in which the people
are practically all of one race or ma
tionality and yet dominated and op
pressed by few of different race or
nationality.
5. The former German colonies tc
become republics under the protection
of the League of Nations. These peo
pie are as capable of self-government
as the people of Russia, Germany, Tur:
key, or the Balkan States

ing peremptory orders in matters of

Soldiers and sailors holding govern

policies after the war as a means of
protecting their families and to give
them the right to convert it into other
forms to be provided by the govern
ment.
The insurance may be continued for
five years or converted within that
time. If policies are allowed to lapse

NOT ON YOUR LlFEl

One Of the latest popular songs in
the Democratic South, has the title:
In 1860 You'll Find Dixie Looking
Just the Same" and this is part Of the
chorus:
You'll ind the colored aunties,
In their shanties,
Singing sweet and low;
Oh! the time may come
And the time may 90,
But nothing changes,
In the land of Old Black Joe."
But things do change even in the
land Of Old Black Joe." In 1860,
millions were In what then seemed
to be q hopeless bondage, but 1868
found them free.
Then came the infamous "Black
Code" which legally sought to re-en.
act slavery, but these unjust laws
passed away and the colored man was
marching on to Americanism. His
progress was 30 rapid that the South
became alarmed and instituted the
scheme of elimination by lynching.
Then came the subtitle plan Of segre-
cation championed by Henry w.
Grady. When Grady died. a yellow
man who called himself black, took
up the Grady plan and passed it on
to Caucausian America as something
original. He was willing to have mil
lions Of Americans treated as pariahs
II he could gain the title Of great
negro"
The vicious Grady plan has been
very generally adopted and today H.

MED civil rights which the other 90
100000 Of Americans enjoy, largely

CIVILIZATION NEEDED IN-U. s. A.
editorial: by Arthur Brisbane in


editorial by Arthur Brisbane in
Hearst Papers.)
The arrival Of troops in an enlight-
ened American city two days ago
stopped the mob murder of a colored
man who had not been convicted, and
indiscr1minate killing.
One girl was killed leaning out of
the window, a fireman was murdered
while playing "a stream of water on
the mob. A construction foreman was
fatally wounded, the fourth dead was
an Unidentified negro" mentioned
out of politeness.
This incident, showing that we still
require little civilizing on this side
Of the ocean, may help to take the
edge OF our national conceit. It is
becoming q sharp edge.

NO SOCIALISM WANTED.

The Democratic party has been re.
ouked at the polls but it will not re-
verse Its socialistic tendencies as long
as It has an opportunity to strengthen
its power over industry. The people
must tell their public servants what
they think of government ownership

the right to take other forms of gov
eminent insurance never can be re-
gained.
Policies with private companies will
cost more and may be impossible to
obtain on account of physical infirmi-
ties developed in the war, the secre-
tary said.

TOO MUCH "VERBOTEN."

It the Democratic administration
had not been so jealous in prescrib-
ing rules which required the people Of
the country to get a permit every time
they turned around, perhaps they
might have been permitted another
two years of full control. The people
want public servants, not masters.

Presented to Him by the American
Red Cross.
Having the right to and needing a
jtwelve-star service pin, the Rev. R. II.
Windsor of Rayville, La, a jealous
Red Cross worker, has been presented
with unique decoration by the Amer
iican Red Cross. The father of nine
teen sons, twelve Of whom are with
the colors, this genial colored minister
of the Baptist church probably holds
the record for sons in the military
service Of the United States. If there
are any others with similar or better
status, they are yet to be heard from. +
In the accompanying illustration Of
the twelve-star pin, topped with the
Red Cross insignia, it will be noted
that the first bar bears five stars
These represent five individual sons

Archie. The next bar bears two stars,
representing twins, George and Lafa-
yette; the next bar is similarly.
decorated, representing William and
James, also twins; and the bottom
I bar, with it's three stars, represents
the triplets, Matthew Mark and Luke.
Eight of the boys are volunteers, and
the other four were called in the draft.
Upon hearing of the remarkable
record OF the Windsor family, Presi-
dent Wilson, who is also president of
the American Red Cross, wrote to the
Rev. Mr.. Windsor as follows:
Il am writing to say with what in
iterest and admiration I have learned
OF the fact that twelve Of your sons
are in the service Of our country, and
the thirteenth impatiently waiting to
follow them in. This is q splendid
record, and l congratulate you from
the bottom Of my heart. The colored
troops have proved themselves nne

According 10 report transmitted by
Commercial Agent Norman l.. An

the Gothcnburg fair. which was the
first exhibition of manufactured
articles since 1914, showed many
signs OF the alternating stimulation
and paralysis Of production. due to
dHnand for large output followed by
lack OF raw materials. Efforts some
times successful and sometimes un-
satisfactory. have been made to OBJ
tain substitutes for cotton, sillr and
wool.
THE goods from all parts OF
Sweden gathered at the Swedish fair
show clearly the influence on its in

MIR. Anderson. Most striking. per-
haps Is what is lacking at the fair
The very meagcr representation OF

The use OF substitute raw materials
for this purpose is new in sweden.
There is, however. quite an assurt-
ment OF textiles Of paper. especially
for curtains. table linen, Innings. etc,
and Of paper mixed with wool for
cloth In emergency cases this

long as commonly woven cloth is
