The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1919-02-08

Abraham Lincoln, whose clear under
standing of right and wrong, whose
great qualities of heart and mind and
character finally succeeded in liberat-
ing an entire race, was born just ITO
years ago, February IL, 1909, in a
rough log cabin in the undeveloped
farmland of Kentucky.
The commemoration Of his birthday
will this year, as in every other, be
marked especially by the recollection
of the Emancipation Proclamation,
which gave us our freedom.
In Lincoln's own words, this eman-
cipation from slavery meant for the
Negro ''the right to eat the bread, with
out the leave of anybody else, which
his own hand earns"
This was Sc years ago. Today, by
summons from the Federal Govern
ment, amounting almost to a prOclama-
ton, the right is urged upon us not
only to eat the bread we earn, but
steadily to set aside part of it so that
eventually we may achieve our eman-
cipation from economic dependence
Money invested in government secu-
ritieS--War Savings Stamps and Lib
erty Bonds-is the key which will
unlock for us financial liberty. Out
Of the fund they create we can get

lnent and recreation. AS Lincoln said
THE hired Iaborer of yesterday labors
on his own account today and will
hire others to labor for him tomor-
row." O
Not mere labor alone is necessary.
70 be ready to use an opportunity the
products of ones labor must be accu-
mu!ated. Again, as Lincoln said
Get ready and the chance will come"
There is another reason, a still bet
ter one than that Of personal profits,
why we should make every effort to
save and invest in Savings Stamps and
Liberty Bonds. Money loaned in this
way to the government-to give US a
share in that for which Lincoln gave
his life--will help to pay off the enor.
NOUS costs of the war for which many
Negroes, have given their lives. They
gave themselves gladly. They have
made a wonderful, never-to-be-fo forgot.

in the war

after all, is extremely small compared

Paris, Jan.-Dr. Robert r. Motion,
who came here to France on "spe-
ciar" mission, made trip, via automo-
bile, to two or three points where
have been modified colored soldiers.
He made an address to them, at each
point visited, and especially urged
upon them when returning to the
United States, to be modest and un-
assuming" The Stars and Stripes
published in Paris, and in the interest
OF the A. E. F., and which heretofore
has given very little space to mention
of the colored soldiers, except pub
fishing something assumed to be hui
morous, and always using the alleged
Southern dialect, gave Mr.. Motions
address considerable space, emphasiz-
ing the point he made that the colored
soldiers should return modest and
unassuming." The Paris edition of
The New York Herald, which like
wise has given but little space to the
colored soldier, also gave DR.. Motions
address to the colored soldiers a prom
inent space, and particularly noted

GOING UP!

A survey by the Department of
Labor Of government salaries in the
city of Washington discloses the fact
that elevator conductors in the Food
Administration were paid as high as
$1,000 per annum, while payment for
the same service in other departments
ranged as low as $3.50. Other lines Of
work show similar discrepancies in
compensations. Among the other gov.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1919.
IF NOT, WHY NOT?

The foreign affairs committee of the
U. S. House of Representative has
ordered favorably reported resolu-
ton expressing the hope that the peace
conference would "favorably consider
the claims Of Ireland to the right of
self-determination."
Four of the seventeen members of
the committee attending the meeting
were understood to have voted against
the resolution.
The text follows:
"Resolved, by the house Of represent
atives (the senate concurring) that it
is the earnest hope of the congress OF
the United States Of America that the
peace conference now sitting in Paris
in passing upon the rights of various
peoples will favorably consider the
claims of Ireland to the right Of self
determination" III
This action leaves the shortsighted
colored men who have opposed the
sending Of colored representatives to
the Peace Congress to appeal for JUS
tice to the colored people of America,
without leg upon which to stand.
If the U. s.. Congress can ask. the
Peace Congress to. interfere in the in
ternal affairs Of Great Britain, why
cannot the colored. people of the
United States appeal a to the world
assembled at Paris to intervene in the
internal affairs Of this country and
stop, lynching and the oppression Of
one of it's groups of citizens?

to the cause of his fellow humans, fail
his brothers in such a task?
Had not all of us done our part In
liberating the oppressed countries of
Europe, by now France, Belgium and
other entire nations would be chained
in slavery to the Germans. Then, alone.
the United States would have to wres-
tie with the tyrant Fifty years after
Lincoln devoted his life to the liberia
ton of race, that race had the op-
portunity to assist in liberating the
world.
Can anyone imagine Lincoln stop
ping half way in such task?
To complete it, 1919 must be a year
OF real thrift for everyone. BY SPEND
ing wisely-getting the most of what
we actually need for the amount we
can afford to spend-something will
be left over to save. BY saving intel
ligently, giving attention to the i'm
portant things and eliminating unnec-
Notwithstanding will be accumu-
lated for investment. BY investing
safely-in Thrift Stamps, War Savings
Stamps or Liberty Bonds-we shall
help complete the task, win personal
prosperity, and assist in gaining ma
tional prosperity.

day should be reminder to prove our
selves worthy of his great faith
