Forty years from now, the great

pun1shment-and the fires of hell are
what they deserve. In their places
will arise a new leadership of strong
men, untainted by slavery, unpurchas-
able and unafraid They will demand
absolute civil equality with all other
Americans and they will have the
backbone, the money and the political
power to enforce their demands.
Segregation in all it's forms, dis

AND THE WAR Is OVER!

Now that fighting has ceased and
war is practically at an end, the report
comes that R. w. Tyler, colored war
correspondent has arrived at the
front. And again, Col Charles Young
has been assigned to Camp Grant, near
Rockford, ILL.,, and is due there in a
few days to take command of a
"colored development battalion" It
seems that the gentlemen of the mini
num- got what they asked for.
Relative to Col. Young, the follow
ing order of the War Department is in
teresting reading:
The first move to demobilize the
army will be the discharge of devel-
opment battalions in all camps in this
country. The development units are
composed of drafted men who did not
meet physical requirements or who
needed special drill or discipline to
brir" them into full military value.
There are about $4,000 of these
troops, and their honorable discharge
will come as soon as they receive the
physical examination required before
a man is discharged.

Bishop Charles D. Williams of Michi-

substitute an American kaiser for Will

HOMEGROWN AND HOMEMADE.

Food Administrator Hoover issued
a statement under date of November
5, election day, saying that if recon-

tor are put into effect, every dish
served in American hotels, clubs and
other eating places on Thanksgiving
Day, will be made from home grown
products. But the people of the
country went him one better. On that
day they voted not only for home
grown food but for homemade goods
of all kinds. They voted to put back
into power the party that stands for
"Made-in-America." A few days be-
fore, Mr.. Hoover issued a statement
urging the reelection of a Democratic
Congress-a Congress that stands for
free trade policy, opening our
markets to the products of
cheap labor in other lands. Mr..
Hoover would have us eat from plates
made in Germany, on table cloths
made in Great Britain, with cutlery
also made in Europe. He would have
us wear clothes made in Japan, cover
our floors with mating made in China,
and buy our wool in Australia or

Race bitterness makes argument, or

common understanding quite useless.

THE GERALDINE L. TROTTER NE.
MORTAL FUND.

A movement is on foot in Boston to
raise a fund of $4,000 as a memorial
to f1ttingly commemorate the great ca
reer OF Mrs. Geraldine L. Trotter and
at the same time to aid The Guardian.
Mrs. Trotter died that The Guardian
might live. =
THE APPEAL has subscribed $500
to the fund and check for that
amount has been mailed, and we trust
that every person who appreciates
Mrs. Trotter's sacrifice and the serv-
ice of that fearless, unafraid and un-
compromising journal, The Boston
Guardian, will assist in raising the
money, which will be handled by a
committee of one hundred prominent
Boston citizens.
The colored people of the United
States owe debt to the Trotters,
which all of the gold of the earth
would not wipe out. They were the
leaders in the fight for justice. Sur
rOunded on every side by crlnglng
sycophants who were willing to sell
the rights of the people for a mess
Of pottage, they stood almost alone
and refused to surrender one jot or
title of what they knew to be their
rights as Americans.
There ought to be no trouble to
raise $4,000. At least $4,000 should
be raised. Any amount will be re-
ceived. If you can not give $500. give
$1.00. or even less, if that is not pos
sible. The important point is to give
something and give it NOW.

EXTINCTION OF THE HYPHEN,

A suggestion has been made in the
Mail Bag which the Dispatch and
Pioneer Press wish to extend to it's
limit and then unqualifiedly approve.
It applies to the absolute abolish
ment Of the hyphen, in it's racial
sense, henceforward and forever. If
the war has done anything, it has
made us all Americans, 100 per cent
test. 1t has left the hyphen extinct.
Hereafter there is, in our American
ism, no room for dilution or limita-
ton. The new order of things in
cludes all possible combinations of
hyphenism and is not limited to the
nationalities over which we have
scored a victory in the name of lib
erty. 1t takes in friend and foe alike.
A man can be no more an Anglo
American or Franco-American than
a German-American. In our patriotic
lexicon there is no hyphen. When a
man is born an American or becomes
one Of his free will through the pro-
cess of law he is at the end and the
summit. We amplify this suggestion
by our Mail Bag friends and give it
our cordial Endorsement.
The foregoing excerpt from the St..
Paul Pioneer-Press has our hearty ap-
proval and we beg to add that the
Afro ought to be taken out of the
Afro-American and the Negro out of
the Negro-American. The war for de-
mocracy has been fought and won, let
us all now be ust-AMERICANS.

NOTION YOUR LIFE!

One of the latest popular songs in
the Democratic South, has the title:
I'm 1860 You'll Find Dixie Looking
Just the Same" and this is part of the
chorus:
You'll find the colored aunties,
In their shanties,
Singing sweet and low;
Oh! the time may come
And the time may 60,
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 a 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 so 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

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
~ DOME.

When the Democrats came into
power in 1913, several colored men
were holding high Offices at Washing
ton, including an Assistant Attorney
General, Register Of the Treasury
and an Auditor for the Navy, all ap-
pointed by a Republican president.
The Assistant Attorney General was
asked to resign few days after
March 4; the Register of the Treas
ury remained in Office for about two
months before he was called on to
walk the plank and the Auditor for the
Navy was permitted to draw his salary
about three months before he was
separated from the pay roll.
These men were regularly appointed
by Republican Presidents and con-
flrmed by the Senate. Their duties
were the same as those performed by
their respective predecessors and were
in no way segregated or confined
wholly to the colored people.
Many colored clerks and employees
have lost their places since 1913 and
according to the Washington papers
and persons who live in the city and
are well informed, scores of colored
persons who have passed the required
examinations and have been certified
by the Civil Service Commission, have
been refused appointments.
A colored judge of the municipal
court of the District of Columbia has
been allowed to retain his Office,
which is a local one.
A few new places have been given
out, but nothing to compare with the
places lost and in the majority OF
cases are strictly along segregated
That is what the Democrats have
done.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 18, 1918:-
President Wilson has been appealed
to by Boston citizens to ask Congress
for an anti-lynching law and for meas
ures to end discrimination against
colored people in the army, navy and
in civil life. Resolutions adopted at
meeting last night in fremont
Temple were today sent to Washing
ton. The meeting was a service com
memorative of the life of the late
Mrs. Geraldine Louise Trotter.
The resolutions call for a commits.
sion with adequate powers and COM
posed in part of colored men to in
vestigate and report. The President
is asked to make the matter the sub.
ject of special message to Congress.
The resolutions were signed by the
Rev. Matthew A. N. Shaw, president,
and William Reed, secretary of the
committee in charge of the Geraldine
Louise Trotter memorial fund, SUBJ
scrlptions to which were received at
the meeting, and approximately
$1,000 has been paid in toward the
memorial fund of $4,000.
