BROKEN HEARTS REPAIRED.

Broken hearts are being mended in
Russia now-not the hearts shattered
by unfortunate romances, but the val
yular organs pierced by knives. Time
mends the first kind land the skilled
surgeon Zelder, can be depended on to
operate successfully on the knife-torn
heart -
DR.. zelder has a little hospital at
Obuchow. .Thirty-one persons brought
to the hospital with hearts pierced and
slashed by knife wounds have sue
cessfully had their organs repaired
and have recovered entirely, to all ap-
pearances, from their remarkable ex-
periences. One patient has, lived
seven years and shows no signs of
having been affected by the heart
wound and subsequent sewing up.
The foregoing statement is going
the rounds of the press as something
new and remarkable, yet human hearts
were repaired more than 20 years ago
and it was a colored man, DR.. Daniel
H. Williams, the famous surgeon of
Chicago, who first successfully op-
Grated on the human heart. 2 "

"NEGRESS" is NAUSEATlNG,

The following from the Chicago
Tribune is a manly protest against the
use Of word which is particularly Of
'ensive to colored women.
g Il y OBJECTS TO "NEGREss."
CHARACTERIZATION of the Tribune
In two recent issues you published
terry fine and highly commendatory
editorials on Race Progress and Com
mon Sense" yet, Notwithstanding that,
yesterday you state in glaring head
lines the death of Nine. Walker,
,Wealthiest Negress." That word
"Negress" is nauseating in the eye
sight of all colored women and should
be eliminated from the vocabulary, in
which it has no rightful place. Above
Nj, your paper should be the leader
this regard, if you really have the
'elfare of the colored race at heart.
SAMUEL z. C. WESTERFIELD.
The cOlored men who persist in u.s.
ing negro" as a race designation are
Hrgely to blame for the common use
Of a. word which should be avoided.
The colored people Of the United
States are Americans-that's all. The
use of negro" and "negress''' is the
cause of many determinations against
the colored people. t2@ ~"
The word "negress" is nauseating,
and SO is the word negro" when
used as a. racial designation for the
colored people Of the United States.

Thursday representing the organiza-
ton and asked for two amendments to
the Peace Treaty. One provides that
in the league of nations covenant the
members "vouchsafe to their own citi-
zens the possession of full liberty,
rights of democracy and protection Of
life, without restriction or distinction
based on race, color, creed or previ-
Gus conditions" 80 @*5
The other adds similar guarantee
as a separate section Of the treaty
Such amendments are all right.
An amendment to give the United
States a mandatory over the Kan
erun, German colony in Africa, was
requested by Joseph T. Thomas, a
colored man of Cleveland, Ohio, rep
resenting the national race congress.
American colored men, he said, could
be recruited to police the territory
under white officers.
Such an amendment is all wrong,
because the United States has given
justice to the colored peoples already
within it's borders.
A petition that all the African col
onies taken from Germany be "di.
vided between Egypt, Abyssinia and
Liberia" was filed by the League of
Darker Peoples of the World
This amendment would be all right
if the word Egypt were stricken out.
To give any of the colonies to Egypt
would be to turn them over to the
tender mercies of Great Britain which
rules Egypt with an iron hand

NOT A WHITE MANS COUNTRY.

& One Beauregard Moseley of Chicago,
a colored man of local prominence
presumably in order to be patted on
the back and called a. "good negro"
in an address at a colored meeting dur
ing the riots informed his auditors
that, this is white mans country"
He was promptly rebuked and we
trust he'll know better next time.
= No, this is not a white mans ,coun-
try 1t is true that the white man
stole it from the Indians, and also stole
some colored men who were free in
Africa, brought them over here and
made them slaves to work the stolen
property. Three hundred years of un-
requited toll gives the colored man q
better title to the land than the white
mans:
The colored man knows no other
land; he speaks the vernacular of tn,
country; he has fought in every war
to preserve it's integrity; has has al
ways been loyal though deprived of
"life, liberty and the pursuit of hap-
piness." 4. ! ,.
The colored people of the United
States are not aliens; they were all
born here. They are Americans and
as Americans have their share in our
common country. -.r....,ss <,sz

coWARDLY BISHOP REeuKED.


! We reprint from the Cleveland Ca
zette, edited by Hon. Harry G. Smith,
a stalwart and outspoken champion
OF the colored people, the following
rebuke to cowardly colored bishop:
: BISHOP PHILLIPS WRONG
. While there is much in Bishop C.
H. Phillips pacifist3 interview of last
Sunday, in the Cleveland News-Lea-
der, to interest the average reader,
there is one statement to which about
all of the intelligent members of our
race will take issue and that is his
statement that "the Afro-American
does not desire social, political or. in
dustrial equality" That is not true,
bishop! In this section of the coun-
try we want and, in a limited degree,
enjoy all three. In the South, our
people are asking the last two. $50
cial equality" is myth. 1t does not
exist among any class ~(race) of
Americans. 1t is matter for the
individual to settle and he alone set
ties it in all cases. And many white
and colored individuals (families) in
this section of the country have long
ago settled it to their entire satisfac-
ton and are enjoying the so-called
social equality" and will continue to
do so until "the end of the chapter

ONE WAY OUT.

IT seems that the best means for
promoting the. welfare of the ,colored
people would be the scattering of col
ored families all over the country.
In communities where there are only
a few families there seems to be lit
tie or no friction. Trouble seems to
be caused by the coming of the
masses.
;. An example of this is right here in
Minnesota in the town of & Bemidji,
where there are not more than dozen
colored people. Charles w. sScrutchin
a colored man of African ancestry is
the leading lawyer, having good pay
ing practice, his clientele being all
white. He has the respect of the en-
tire population and is received, every
where with the same cordial welcome
that is given the whitest man in town:
There is no race problem in Bemidji.

COOL
i No good can come from incendiary
talk. 1t is rank folly to talk about
actual, physical fighting to win the
contest for justice in the U. S. A. 1T
would be futile as the colored people
have neither wealth nor guns and are
outnumbered five to one. Never be
the aggressor but defend yourself if
wantonly attacked.
The colored people must fight but
it must be with the spirit, money and
the ballot. Use every legitimate
means to create healthy public opin-
ion and vote for the individual or
party guaranteeing protection of life
and liberty.

APPOINT BOARD
FOR RIOT PROBE
GOVERNOR EOWDEN NAMES
TWELVE PROMINENT MEN
TO STUDY RACE RE-
lA7IONS.
URGES FULL COOPERATION

Gov Frank o. Lowden of Illinois
has announced the appointment of a
commission of twelve professional
and business men to make a study OF
race relationships and report on the
recent race riots in Chicago.
Members Of Commission. 81,
The, members of the commission
are: Edgar A. Bancroft, julius Ros
enWald, Victor F. Lawson, Edward
Osgood Brown, Harry Eugene Kelly
William Scott Bond, DR.. Geo. G. Hall
Edward H. Morris, Robert S. Abbott
Adelbert H. Roberts, George H. Jack
son, Rev. L. K. Williams.
The six last named are colored men
Mr.. Bancroft is chairman of the
commission, which will begin it's in
Testigations as soon as some of the
members return from their vacations
prob IDLY within a week or two.
Acts on Requests.
In making public the names of his
appointees, the governor issued the
following statement:
II have been requested by many
citizens and by many civic organiza-
lions in Chicago to appoint commits
sion to study and report upon the re-
cent race riots in Chicago, and upon
the broad question of the relations
between the two races
Those riots were the work of the
worst element of both races. They
did not represent the great over
whelming majority of either race. The
two races are here and will remain
here. The great majority of each re.
allies the necessity of their living
upon terms of cordial goodwill and
respect, each for the other. That con-
dition must be brought about.
Must Solve Problem.
ITO say that we can not solve this
problem is to confess the failure of
self-government. I offer no solution
of the problem. I do know, however,
that the question can not be answered
by mob violence. I do know that
every time that men, white or col.
ored, take the law into their own
hands, instead of helping they only
postpone the settlement of the uues-
ton. When we admit the existence
OF problem and courageously face
it, we have gone halfway toward it's
solution.
Il have with the utmost care, in
response to the requests above set
forth, appointed commission to un-
dertake this great work. have
sought only the most representative
men of the two races. 1 have not
even asked them whether they had
views as to how the question could
be met. ~1 -
Urges Spirit Of Fairness.
II have asked them only to ap.
proach the difficult subject with an
open mind and in a spirit of fairness
and justice to all. This is a tribunal
that has been constituted to get the
facts and interpret them and to find
way out l believe that great good
can come out of the work of this COM

THE RACE COMMISSION.

THE APPEAL still contends that
there is no reason for the existence
of the race commission" appointed
by Governor Lowden of Illinois. The
Supreme Court of the United States
has decided by unanimous vote that
segregation is unlawful, so there is
nothing to arbitrate s. =.
The editor has talked with several
prominent Illinois men this week and
the consensus of opinion among them
is that the whole thing is a political
scheme of Governor .Lowden, who is
a prospective candidate for president
on the Republican ticket in 1920. =,
These men say that since he has
been governor of Illinois, Lowden has
developed a great prejudice against
the colored people. He has taken
"jimcrow" colored men into his con-
fidence and his present plan is to
get the colored people to consent to
their own civil degradation.
These Illinois men say that the
commission is packed" The ma
jority of the white men on the same
are enemies of the colored people,
and the majority of the colored men
jimcrowists, that is, men willing to
make concessions in their civil rights.
THE APPEAL man has been we'll
acquainted with Edward H. Morris,
Chicagos famous lawyer, who is one
of the commission arI can vouch
for him as man who will not con-
cede anything fundamental. He will
fight any attempt at segregation to
the last ditch. .. .
THE APPEAL is only slightly &C.
quainted- with four of the other col
ored men. One man he has never met.
He has often heard three of the col
ored men described as jimcrow men
of the deepest dye. 1
1t is said that segregation PROPOSE
tons will be offered by the white
members. If such propositions are
offered the colored men should stand
as a unit against them no matter how
trivial they may seem. They must not
yield a single point on any question
involving segregation of any kind.
