When colored soldiers were hanged
at Camp Dodge, Iowa, for raping a IT,
year old girl, the entire division of the
Iowa cantonment was drawn up and
compelled to witness the execution.
When a white man was hanged at
Camp Macarthur, Tex, for raping an
11-year old school girl the execution
was conducted quietly and the soldiers
in the environment were not compelled
to witness it.

Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says 1t Causes
Mental and Physical Segregation.
(From Amsterdam News)
Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: cannot too heartily congratu-
late you on recent editorial discour-
aging the use Of the word Negro
There is no greater delight enjoyed by
the white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
ize that it is the most potential fac
tor at work at the present to bring
| about both a physical and mental
segregation of the people of color. It's
use is on the increase only because
our speakers and writer's, especially
| Do Bots and Washington feel that it's
repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to
retain the good will of the masses. The
term NEGRO" is not only absurdly in
accurate as applied to millions Of col
ored people, but it is also alarmingly
injurious, for the following reasons:
a. It has never stood historically or
in the present, anywhere in the world,
for anything noble or uplifting. Most
high-grade Africans repudiate it.
b. In Africa and out of Africa it was
never applied to the higher types, but
to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegam-
bians only.
| c. It's derivatives, "Negroism," NE
grofy," and its compounds, Negro
head, Negro-fy, Negro-monkey, are all
clearly in their associations, degrad-
ing.
! d. Its feminine form, "Negress,' is
justly and correctly used to define
your wife and daughter and sweet
heart if you favor the use of the mas
culine term.
! e. It has been the word used by the
Southern whites for two centuries,
when formally speaking or writing
about an unworthy or criminal man
or woman of the race. For when he
speaks of the worthy he invariably
says "colored"
| f. 1t is not differentiated in the mind
and thought Of the whites from their
| favorite and generally used (among
themselves) terms, NEGRO" and Mig
ger.'
g. AS stated by an eminent Japanese
diplomat it has an unquestioned in
| fluence in cutting us off from the
thought, sympathy and cooperation
of the millions of colored Africans,
Asiatics and islanders of the Yonder
| world.
Very truly yours,
OWEN M. WALLER, M. D.

Pleas Made to Congress.
Congress is requested to make

government, and as such subject to
the Jurisdiction of the Federal courts,

This and five other requests for the
abolition of specific race discrimina.
= lions are advocated by the petitioners
as win-the-war measure. The petit.
ton has been placed in the hands OF
Senator Penrose, and is to be pre-.
scented to the Senate this week.
The colored congress protests that
colored citizens are Disseminated
against in public and Federal build
ings in Federal territory, in public
carriers operated by the government
in certain States, in the army and
navy schools, in the right of suffrage
In certain States and in the civil serv

The petitioners ask, in view of the
military service rendered by their race
during the present war, that our OWL
republic may not be a part of the
world not safe for democracy" They
also protest the segregation of races
in the military camps
The congress was called for the pur
pose of laying the cause of the colorei
citizens before the United States Con
gress, and was attended by lis dele
gates from 80 states. Fl. H. Harrison
of New York, was chairman of tn,

coming year. The committee will
wage an active campaign to secure
the desired legislation.

A GREAT JOKE ~

Recently some colored editors under
the direction of E. J.. Scott and J. E.
Spingarn met in Washington and
asked the government for that mini
mum of consideration" for racial
wrongs, and they evidently touched
a tender chord in the breast of those
dear friends of the colored people
the white South. For instance, the
editor of the Lexington (Ky) Herald
quotes this conclusion, praises it and
naively adds, "Assuredly he is entitled
to nothing less''

AMERICANS-THAT's ALL.

For many yearn it has been the
custom to treat colored people as
aliens, although they are more than
nlnety-n1ne Der cent of American
birth: and there is a growing ten
dency among the colored people to
regard themselves as aliens. This IL
being encouraged by 4 class Of lead
ers who call themselves Negroes"
and yell about Negro Kultur" a.
though they have not more than half
and often less than one-eighth Of
Negro blood. Such men ought to
stop the Negro" propaganda and be
Americans and demand Justice be-
cause they are Americans and not by
the false assertion that they are
Negroes
They should not have any rights as

SHEER WASTE.

In June, 1918, the Census Bureau
was still issuing statistics of manu-
features for the year 1914. Can any
one imagine any practical use for
statistics concerning manufactures
after conditions have changed so
much as they have in the past four
years. Fewer statistics, promptly is
sued, would be of more value.

SHOULD BE NO COLOR CASTE

The New York World, one of the
greatest daily newspapers in the coun-
try, says in a recent issue:
III there is any ground for the CON-
pant OF Colored trained nurses that
tney are unjustly disseminated
against by the Red Cross, it should
De removed at once. This is a black
mans fight as well as white mans
and the Red Cross should be the first
or all bodies to recognize the fact"
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1918-07-27

There are a few honest and sincere
colored men who use the term negro"
IN describing themselves, but the ma
Jorlty who use the term are jimcrow-
lists pure and simple. The time has
come TO eliminate such words as Ger
man, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian. etc.
People in the United States ought to
be satisfied to be known as Americans.
That one word is big enough to in
clude all persons born in this country.

NO CAMoUFLAGED REPUBLICAN

The Republicans of Michigan, speak
ing through their State chairman, say
that President Wilson's entry of
Henry Ford in the Wolvering Sena-
torial race will make no difference
with Republican plans. Those plans
look for the nomination of a straight
patriotic Republican, one who never
was a pacifist-before or since the
war began-one who never COIL
tributed money to pay for Democratic
advertising, one who has voted more
than once in the past twenty years,
and each time voted the Republican
ticket. >s-.5..-.
