It has frequently been charged that one of the big

A JlMCROW BISHOP.

Some reverend colored man was re.
Gently made a suffragan bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. A suf.
fragan is simply an assistant bishop
and he can only assist the presiding
bishop of the diocese by doing what
he is ordered to do, and in this par
ticular case, only among the particu-
lar class of people he is ordered to
serve. Thus he is a segregated rub
Der stamp who must follow the whims
and caprices of his master, the white
bishop, and he has no vote in the con-
vention.
For many years some jimcrow Epis-
copal ministers have endeavored to
have jimcrow bishop appointed. The
intelligent colored people were op-
posed to it and protested to the Gen.
eral Convention of the Church against
the infamy of a color line in the
church of God.
The plan was thwarted for while.
but when a jimcrow negro" makes
up his mind to do something which
will lower himself and his race in the
eyes of the public, he can invariably
count on the assistance Of his white
friends CD, who will go the limit to
aid him. Finally the jimcrow won
and it was decided that jimcrowism
was the proper thing. One of the
jobs was offered to Rev. James S. Rus
sell Of Virginia, but he declined to be
a segregated bishop.
Some papers are boasting about the
matter but it is nothing to be proud
of. The heads of the church who
have demonstrated that they have no
right to be called Christian and the
man who accepted the place ought to
hang their heads in shame.

QUEER WORLD THIS.

After more than hundred years of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, during which time
the Poles have been subjected to op-
preston in it's varied forms by Ger
many, Austria and Russia, the people
are to be reunited as free Polish ma
ton and their independence has been
recognized by the allies.
After all they have suffered for more
than a century is it not strange to
note that they celebrated their new
found freedom with a great pogrom
or massacre of the Jews when they
captured Lembery.
The Associated Press correspondent
sent the following in reference to the
brutal massacre:
Immediately upon entering the
city the Poles proceeded to sack and
burn the Ghetto district, whose vic
tins numbered several thousand. The
streets were filled with the charred
bodies Of murdered Jews, many of
whom, in the frenzy of despair, had
leaped from the burning buildings,
which were surrounded by Polish
troops"

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of

It is the foe within which is more
dangerous than the foe without, whose

END AUTOCRACY OF COLOR
Asks Editor of THE APPEAL in an Appeal Wired to
President Wilson the Eve of His
Departure for Peace Table.
Calls Color Line Greater Menace to Permanent World
Peace Than Hun Militarism Just Overthrow.
Asks President to Aid the Oppressed of All Nations
Races, Coors, Creeds and Sex in Realizing
Liberty, Fraternity and Equality

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
He~o A1pSAS VI CAC " OS1 SSS VI tuS COI
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, I shall endeavor tc
outline program which should meet
the approval of every believer in world
democracy:
l. 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 to
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.

ROOSEVELT-AMERlCAN.

Theodore Roosevelt, former presi'
dent of the United States, universally
considered as "the most typical Amer
lean, is dead and the civilized world
bows in homage.
So many things have been written
so many tributes have been paid to the
greatest man the country has pro.
duced since Lincoln that there is lit
tie left for the editor of weekly
newspaper to say.
There is one point which ought to
be especially emphasized and that is
Roosevelt's intense, robust American.
ism. He had little respect for the
man, whether American or foreign
who sought to segregate himself from
his fellow citizens.
The following paragraphs are from
his last public plea for Americanism,
which we publish in full in another
column and which should be read and
taken to heart by every one who
claims to be an American
1T is an outrage to discriminate
against any man because of creed or
birthplace or origin. But this is pred.
icated upon the mans becoming in
very fact an American, and nothing
but an American.
IF he tries to keep segregated with
men of his own origin and separated
from the rest Of America, then he isn't
doing his part as an American. There
can be no divided alliance at ALL"
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1919-01-11

6. The abrogation of the white
Australia" legislation and the &C.
acknowledgement of the right of all peo-
pies to acquire citizenship.
7. The repeal by the United States
of all anti-oriental immigration laws
and the acknowledgment of the right
of Japanese and Chinese and Malays
to become citizens
8. The repeal of all United States
laws CHASING certain Indians as non
citizens, all people of American Indian
blood to be Immediately recognized as
American citizens.
9. The repeal of all laws of the
United States, or of any state, in which
the words colored, African, Afro-Amer-
lean, Negro. Mulatto, Indian, japanese
or Chinese are used for the purpose to
making determinations against the
people of any race, nationality, class
or creed, and the immediate abroga-
ton of any color line restrictions en-
forced without warrant of law.
10. The nations comprising the
League of Nations to be forbidden to
enact any legislation which in any way
discriminates against the people of the
Caucasian, Monaghan, African, Indian,
and Malay races, or against any ma
tionality, religious creed or sex.
II. The free immigration of the peo-
pie of any one country to any other
country having membership in the
League to be neither denied nor
abridged on account of race, national
ity, class, color, creed, or sex
The adoption of the foregoing rules
in the Constitution Of the League of
Nations would not only mean freedom,
equality and democracy for all man
kind but would be an actual earthly
realization of the Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of Man.
Trusting Mr.. President, that you will
as the representative of our great re-
public, advocate the principles I have
enumerated, I am,
Very truly yours,
