Why Lithuanians Are Convinced the
Sea Has Been Known to Give
Up Its Dead.

Originally the earth was white-hot
mass Of gaseous vapor. That was 100
long ago for even the Oldest inhab-
Itants 10 remember, because the heat
was so intense that there was no such
thing as an inhabtant on the earth.
The only way we know II Is by seeing
other planets so young that they are
still nothing but unbelieyabiy not gas
After while the earth cooled of a
bit. Instead of gas, II was solid
mass, but white-hot still--then red
hot-then cool enough to allow some
primitive form of vegetable life. Be-
fore long, In about million years or
40. the earth became cool enough to
have fourishing vegetable garden on
It's surface.
Some parts Of the earth continued
TO develop until Adam and Eve came
on the scene. Lithuania, the new Bal
tic republic, had just about reached
the Adam-and-Ev stage when 1t got
drowned out Of sight. The whole coun-
try literally disappeared 1t was COW
cred by the sea
There is common belief that the
sea never gives up its dead. 1t isn't
true. Any Lithuanian will tell you
so. For the sea not only withdrew,
but In Withdrawing II left Lithuania a
gift without price. Amber 1t was,
that glowing golden jewel OF delight.
The Baltic coast Of Lithuania, in fact,
is the only place In the world where
milady can get the amber which goes
into the beautiful necklace she COW
cts so much.

RIGHT Mr.. WRIGHT.

A recent interview of Mr.. Edward
H. Wright, a $4,000 assistant corpora
ton counsel in Chicago, on What the
Colored People WANT" which was pub.
lished in the Chicago Daily News, is
so admirable in its general character
that THE APPEAL reprints some ex.
cerpts from the same:
What do the colored people want
politically in the LIST congressional dis
trict, where the bulk of those in Chi
cago live, and why?" Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Wright was asked
today.
'The colored man in the list con.
gressional district" replied Attorney
Wright, "constitutes the backbone of
the republican party and he desires
politically what any other element of
the American people desires under
like conditions. The colored man is a
native born American; he is 100 per
cent patriotic; he is intelligent and
progressive and his ambition is to
reach the status of absolute equality
as an American citizen.
1--WE feel that if we bear all the bur.
dens and responsibilities of citizenship
we should be accorded all the privi-
leges that go with it. We want no
special privileges-and we want no
special handicaps.
In all matters in which the law
governs we demand the same rights
that other American citezens enjoy.
But there is often friction and bad
feeling between the colored man on
the one side and all other races on the
other because there is not better un-
derstanding between the antagonistic
elements.
THAT better understanding may be-
brought about the colored man should
be represented in all bodies that have
to do with the shaping of policies un-
der which the people must live

gress, in the legislature, in the coun-
Gil, in the governing committees of the
political parties with which he affli.

ALL HAIL, 1.-THE HAMMER!"

For many years we have heard lot
about throwing the hammer" into the
discard and giving time to "construc
tive work." Many have said: Build
up; never tear down.
But knocking and tearing down are
just as necessary in the economy OF
things, as building up. Battering
down Wrong is a useful process and
must usually precede the building up
of Right.

by the fouler presence of John" That

terial notifications in the autocratic
power of the King John did not relish
the demand but he realized that he
stood alone and that the barons had
their little hammers" up their sleeves
and were ready to use them, so he
granted the Magma Charta. The Great
Charter was discussed, agreed to, and
signed in single day. Thus modern
democracy and liberty had their origin
in hammer" work.
In the sixteenth century the Cath
Ollie Church had grown corrupt. The
priests were guilty of immortality, ex-
tortion and all the other crimes in the
decalogue. The Inquisition was work

at their worst, Martin Luther appeared
on the scene armed with hammer"
and he battered down the Devil so

Thus began the Reformation which
separated the Protestant church from
the Romish See, and conferred in
estimable benefits on mankind.
For many years the American COL

protested against taxation without

mans unreasoning prejudice (no mat
ter to what party he belongs) makes
it almost necessity that the colored
man should have preponderance of
the vote in a certain territory or have
at least the balance of power between
the parties before he is given any
political recognition. This has a tend
ency to compel colored men to draw
racial lines as a matter of self protec-
ton. This is all wrong on both sides.
THE white man holds the solution
of this question in his hands. Not
having reached this desirable point,
the colored man naturally seeks to
combine his energies to achieve those
things that ought to be freely accord
ed to him if he produces a man COM
petent and deserving of preferment.
"The colored republicans of the End
ward believe that their people should
be. represented in the Cook county
republican committee. They believe
that in the End ward where the color
ed man constitutes 80 per cent of the
republican strength, they should select
a colored man, not because he is color.
ed, but because he is deserving and
capable, as the head of the republican
organization, with voice in the man.
agement of the affairs of the party.
While many of the colored voters
believe that in the list congressional
district an effort should be made to
send colored man to congress, there
are many others who feel that Con.
gresham Martin B. Madden has been
the one conspicuous member of Con-
gress who has stood up for the rights
of the colored people and they feel
that common justice requires that they
make no attacks upon Congressman
Madden unless he should fail to CO.
operate with them in matters for their
good in the district.
1--WE believe we should apply the
same rule to the delegates to the re-
publican national convention from
the 1st congressional district. We
should have one of the delegates and
he should cast his vote for man for
president who represents American
ism in it's highest sense.
I'm the program herein outlined,
the enemies of the colored race will
raise the cry of negro domination
wherever the colored man is numer-
ically in the majority. This is all
rot.
1T is the desire and purpose of
the intelligent progressive colored
man to maintain the most friendly
relations with the white man and to
cooperate with him in all matters
touching the public welfare.
"All they ask for is justice and
fairness in all public matters, and if
little Christian charity can be
mixed with it so much the better.
We will fight for absolute equality
under the law-no separate schools
nor separate cars-no segregation,
either voluntary or imposed. We de-
mand the right to work out our
destiny as free American citizens
without being shackled by the chains
of race prejudice, and any man who
would deny these things to us is not
worthy of being an American citi-
zen"
THE APPEAL has only one fault
to find with Mr.. Wright's interview
his too frequent use of the word
NEGRO" Its use aids in keeping the
colored man shackled. There should
be no Poles, no Irish, no Germans,
no Negroes, nor hyphenates of any
kind in the u. S. A. The word Amer.
lean ought to be broad enough to
cover all citizens.
