SOUTH OUT OF SADDLE.

An analysis of the state of commit
tee chairmanships of the next house,
as framed by the Republican commit
tee on committees, shows the transfer
of power from the south to the north,
with the middle west exercising the
dominant influence.
Whereas nearly all of the important
chairmanships, during the Democratic
regime, were held by the south, Only
two states south of the Ohio river,
Kentucky and Tennessee: will figure
in the list this time. These two states
will have one minor craftsmanship
each.
The chairmanships of seven of the
ten principal committees will be held
by representatives from the four mid
die western states of Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Michigan. Two of the
remaining three go to Pennsylvania
and one to California. Pennsylvania
leads the list of states in the number
OF chairmanships with eight. Illinois
is second with seven, but none of
these is a major craftsmanship.

DENOTED FOR TRuTH.TEiLlNG,

The prophecy that Brig. Gen. Ansell,
who figured in the testimony regard
ing the administration Of military
justice, would be reduced in rank has
come true. With the order for his re-
duction to his pre-war rank of lieu
tenant-cOlonel comes a statement from
Newt Baker, the pacif1st, that the re-
duction "has no relation to the con-
troversy which has existed with re-
gard to the administration of military
justice and clemency." However, it
is strange that Gen. Ansell should so
suddenly be relieved of his duties as
acting judge-advocate general in the
absence of Gen. Crowder and that an
other officer should be called from
France to assume these duties. The
wheels Of Bakerism and spite grind
slow but exceedingly fine. AS has
been stated before, Congress will not
forget that Gen. Ansell served we'll as
called witness; that he told the
truth as soldier and gentleman,
The truth seems to hurt somewhere
in the War Department. Gen. Ansell
may be reduced temporarily in rank
but never in public opinion for his
service to the people.

American colored men have never
had square deal. Knowing this, the
Germans imagined they could stir up
trouble among our Southern colored
men. They guessed wrong.
Not only on the firing line, but also
on the mean, tedious, hard work of
the 8. o. s. the colored soldier came
through with flying colors, and did his
job well and gladly.
While we are talking about Ameri-
canism it would be less than right il
we did not manage to iron out 'Jim
Crow" regulations which the colored
men naturally detest.

jim CROW DAY IN BOSTON
(From the Boston Guardian J

Monday, February "a, was a typica1
Jim Grow day in Boston, and it seems
TO nave been so planned. The day
time was given over to welcoming the
returning president. In the evening
there was meeting held to honor col.
ored soldiers. The two occasions at
least have the alternatives of the Jim
Grow doctrine of separate and dis.
tlnct but equal or the Jim Grow ar.
rangement Of up to the big house
and down to the big gate" The i'm
presslons of the events are significant
There are strong and. variant views
mere on the question of the League Of
Natlons. There are equally strong
views ON the race question and the
rights OF man. But on this occasion
Boston behaved herself proud. There
was no heckling of the president. The
reception was dignified and orderly.
But he left Boston still in possession
of her views.
mere was no rough-necking down
at the big gate. Mr.. Scott and Mr..
Motion were received with respectful
dignity. But they left Boston with no
greater disposition to compromise hui.
man rights or to barter with lynch
ers and Jim Grow propagandists.
Three-fourths of the audience were
white. Doubtless they are friends of
the race. Their presence points to
another vital circumstance. The meet
ing was held under the auspices of a
settlement house-a charitable insti-
tuition. Many white people are willing
to assign restricted mendicant status
to the best the colored man can pro-
duce.
But the brainy colored man does
not accept the principle of ward and
warden any more than the principle
OF man and master. They are allies
and are opposed to self-determination
Boston passed the incident coolly
but respectfully. The results so far
as all detectives go were a boomer.
ang., -
TO sum up Jim Grow day in Boston
was black-frost.

MUDDLING MOTIONS MIXTURE.

(From the Boston Guardian.)
There is peeping out here and there
in the underfry of the headrag colored
press statement saying in substance
that that lie, lying about the lie that
lied about Moton's lie either was or
was not a lie or something to that
effect. -..z
The genial headrag gentleman's
apology by proxy is just that sense
less and confusing. But the facts are
clear. - :: .-.-.
The size of the situation is this:
the Alabama sons of the south feared
that Motion coming from as far North
as old Virginny might have few
sparks of manhood in him. That was
highly out of place for Tuskegee
and hence emphatically undesirable.
They opposed him and wanted EN-
met J. Scott who was known to be
a thoroughly good niger" for princi-'
pal. Motion finally landed in the berth
and to make sure they staged a test
case. It was current report that Mrs.
Motion was put out Of a Pullman car
and that her manly and courageous
husband apologized for her having put
the gentleman to the trouble of put
ting her out of a place where she had
q right to be. = : =

"REBUtLDiNG THE WORLD"


Rebuilding the world" is the in
scription surrounding the cross on the
shield of the Missionary Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, -
which is working up a scheme to get
Southern colored people to plant cot
ton in Gods Acreage" and contribute
the money to the missionary fund Of
$120,000,000 which it is planned to
raise.
. THE APPEAL does not believe that
the colored people should give one
penny to aid the Methodist Episcopal
Church until it reverses it's present
jimcrow policy.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
split into two branches over the ques-
ton of slavery, but now the Northern
and Southern branches are to come
together again at the centenary. The
weakened Northern men have given

have agreed to sacrifice their colored

Saint Paul, Mimi, Dec. 2, 1918.
To the President,
White House,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
Now that the world war is over and
military autocracy has been doomed,
Il 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.
2 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
has hampered the progress of the COL
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, shall endeavor to
outline program which should meet
the approval of every believer in world
democracy: .
1. Home rule for Ireland.
2. Home rule for India
3. Home rule for all colonies which
desire it. 3D."
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 a 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.
