Jew, the Importance of keeping a
healthy public opinion toward the Jew
was even more important than the
revival of religious interest.
Judaism is religion. There are
Jews of almost every nationality on
earth. While the majority of the Jews
are in Russia, Poland, Germany and
Austria, they are scattered all over
the globe, and New York has larger
Jewish population than any other
city. There are Chinese Jews in
China, Japanese Jews in Japan, Indian
Jews in India and Negro Jews in
Africa.
The Jews in the United States are
not all rich, but they are represented
in all lines of business and trade and
commerce and in the learned profess
sions, and their aggregate wealth is
enormous, but propaganda of hate is
carried on against them by the So
called American Christians, in spite
of the fact that the Christ was Jew.
Now if the Jews with all of their
wealth and consequent power find it
necessary to fight to prevent the
lapse of public opinion into a state of
unfriendliness to the Jew" how much
more important for the colored people.
who have already lost many civil
rights, which are freely accorded to
the Jews, to make determined effort
to regain them.
One sad thing about the Jewish
question is the readiness with which
the Jews join with the oppressors of
the colored people. Not all of them,
Of course, but too many, when one
considers the sufferings of the Jewish
people through the ages. Some rich
Jews, alleging philanthropy, have
given millions to aid in the lowering
of the social status of the colored
people because it pleased Caucasian
American Christians and brought
profits to their bullying pockets.

JAPANESE TO DEMAND RACIAL
EQUALITY.

Advices from Washington say that
the Japanese government has broad
ened the issue arising over the pro-
posed exclusion of her nationals from
owning land in California, it was
learned from official sources today.
She will now insist that the United
States formally recognize the equality
OF her citizens with those of any other
nation. Such recognition would take
the form of an official declaration,
similar to the one proposed at the
Versailles conference and withdrawn
by Japan.
On that occasion two great Japa-
nese demands were before the confer
ence. Japan insisted first upon a
statement recognizing the equality of
her race; second, that Shantung with
it's vast resources in minerals, it's
great German developments and it's
100000 of people be given. to her.
The council compromised by giving
Shantung. Now she demands that the
United States alone give her the far
more desirable concession which the
council of nations, acting upon a plea
from Australia, expressly denied.
1t is recognized both by Japan and
the United States, it was pointed out
In official circles today, that nothing
whatsoever can be done to prevent
the citizens of California from enact
ing the proposed land expulsion act.
Such an act, Japan maintains. is an
unjust discrimination aimed at her
alone.
The final issue will come, it was
pointed out today, with the first act
under the California law. Formal de-
mand of satisfaction will then be
made.
The Japanese question ought to be
Of intense interest to the colored
people Of the United States who are
oppressed by the United States gov
eminent under the laws as now inter-
preted by the ruling Democrats, by
the Democratic state governments in
the murder belt of the South and by a
general vicious public opinion.
To the colored men who are fighting
for absolute racial equality of all
American citizens, the action of Japan
in demanding racial equality in a for
eign land ought to be an inspiration.

CALVIN cooLIDeE's CREED.

Governor Calvin Coolidge. of Massa-
chusetts, when notified of his nomina-
ton for Vice President on the Repub-
lican ticket, outlined his creed. The
para graph relative to colored citizens
IS especially fine, and evidently sim
cere; it is as follows:
There is especially due to the COL
ored race more general recognition
OF their constitutional rights. Tempted
win dlsloyalty, they remained loyal,

tinction, obedient to the draft to the

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1920.
WILL YOU. Mr.. COX?

Mr.. Cox, in your speech of accept
ance of the Democratic nomination
for the presidency Of the United
States you failed to mention many
things which are of great import to
a group of 100000 American citi-
zens and which ought to concern
every good citizen of the United
States.
In order that you may make your
position clear THE APPEAL will ask
you a few questions.
Mr.. Cox, If elected, the first thing
you can do without the "advice and
consent" of the Congress, would be
the issuance of an executive order
abolishing segregation, which is car
ried on in the departments at Wash
ington and in some parts Of the coun-
try without warrant of law.
Mr.. Cox, if elected, will you issue
such an order?
Mr.. Cox, if elected, will you favor
the enforcement of the Civil War
Amendments to the Constitution, as
well as other amendments, and so
recommend in your messages to Con-
gress?
Mr.. Cox, if elected, will you recon-
mend and endeavor to secure the en-
actment Of a federal anti-lynching
law?
Mr.. Cox, if elected, will you en-
deavor to secure the abolition Of the
Jimcrow car in interstate travel?
Mr.. Cox, if elected, will you recon-
mend and endeavor to secure legisla-
ton abolishing the color line in the
United States army and in the United
States navy?
Mr.. Cox, if elected, will you restore
the colored mans status quo so far
as Office holding is concerned and give
representation in Office by presiden-
tial appointment?
Mr.. Cox: The things asked for are
not to- secure special privileges, but
to abolish special privileges, to the
end that the rights of citizenship may
be equal without regard to race, color,
creed or sex. =-.-s -.

PEAL writes this for the men, be-
cause the colored women never. call
themselves that name. Even those
who use the word negro" refer to
the female as a negro woman"
This is from Paris by Universal
Service:
1.-The star visitor of the week at
Biarritz is Mamie Jones, a Negress,
who sold a tiny Oklahoma farm for
100000 when oil was discovered on
it. She has taken villa on the sea
front, and, attired in the most gor-
geous and colorful creations, is sur
rounded by a dozen or more ebony
admirers.
Mamie spent the first night here
in the baccaret rooms at the Casino
and lost a few thousand dollars.
Thereafter she declared, "Ah prefers
craps" and has remained away from
the Casino"
There is probably not a word of
truth in the foregoing, but if Mamie
prefers "craps" she is sustained by
many modern instances" For in
stance, there is a distinguished white
craps shooter in St. Paul who has
made thousands Of dollars out of his
profession" And the game is more
popular among the white people UP
in this neck Of the woods than it is
among colored people.
Further, THE APPEAL read in the
papers about a month ago, that a
certain Greek gentleman, Mr.. Tomo-
nasandropopoulas, by name who re-
sides at the Blackstone hotel in Chi
cago, which, by the way, is the last
word in swell hostelries, in that CITY,
cleaned up about 100000 in a single
sitting which was held on the
'steenth floor Of this hotel. The Chi
cago papers also said when he arrived
in Chicago few years ago he had
exactly so cents in the pocket of
his torn trousers.
He started in business as a SHOE
sinner, and during the day he dill
gently welded his brush and polish-
ing rag, raking in the coin. His
evenings were spent in study-studv-
ing the .intricacies of "craps." At
ten end of a few years, having mas
tered the game and acquired a few
thousand dollars, he moved from
South Halsted street to his elegant
qaurters in the Blackstone on Mich
igan avenue, and began the practice
of his profession" He has been so
successful that his fortune is esti-
mated at 100000.
Further, the Chicago papers said
that games were played nightly at
the various hotels, such as the Black
stone, La. Sale, etc., at which enor-
NOUS sums were staked on the "roll
of the bones"
THE APPEAL will state further
that the colored patronage of the
hotels named is not very large, their
clientele being confined principally to
white people. No, "craps" is not a
colored folks game. It was at one
time the pastime of the most de-
graded people Of all classes, but it
has risen in the social scale and is
now very popular in "high society,""

SAVE MORE THAN TWELVE MILLION Farmers That Much Better Off By Holding, Says
 NeSbit

More than SIP 900, 900 dollars has been saved by the farmers of Alabama by holding their cotton during the past ten days.
 These figures were given out by W. D, Nesbit of the Warrant Warehouse Company, who says that the. reaction in cotton quotations now. will enable the farmers to get from $20 to $27.50 more per bale than they could two weeks ago.
 > MT. Nesbit also declared that the
 hold your cotton movement among the farmers of the south has had little to do with the increase in price.
 Merchants who have during the fall reduced their buying because they have been overstocked are now buy ing in the cotton goods market. which means an increase in the price of cot ton that is paid the farmer" says MT. Nesbit
 Many farmers are taking advantage of the upward trend of the market and are offering their cotton for sale, but at the same time there are twice as many more who are still holding onto their cotton with the expectation of the market going. to 40 cents per pound and reports show that three times the amount of cotton was bought in Bir- mingham during the month of October of last year than during the presen; month."
