Peggy picked up a switch and ran
10 the south. The shrieks Of the birds
guided her to a sunny glade where dozens

Then Tiger sprang, but as he leaped
into the air, Peggy's switch came LASH
ing down on his back, giving MN q
stinging surprise. He hadn't seen her
coming up behind him.
The smarting pain made Tiger jump
so hard he flew right over the nest.
Down he came sprawling among the
br-iars of a wild rose bush.
"Tn get even for that" he sgualled at
Peggy as he tore himself loose ana
dashed away. "I'll eat all the bird
babies I can find, and all the big birds,
too"
( Peggy ran after Tiger. but he soon
lost himself in the underbrush As she
searched for him, she heard loud

An idea popped into Peggy's head,
" Cat Bird could fool her and Billy he
might fool the cats and lead them on a
false chase after the birds.

THE MOST INFAMOUS IN
HISTORY.

=,
The stage is all set and when the
Quadrennial conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church meets in Des
Moines, Iowa, this month, it is likely
that that most Infamous action ever
attempted in the history of Christian
ity will become an accomplished fact.
The great event of the meeting is
to be the unidcation of the North and
South branches of the church, which
over. the slavery question
many years before the Shareholders
rebellion.
When the separation took place the
Northern branch took stand for
Christianity, humanity~Gand freedom,
while the Southern branch stood for
slavery.
Now after 70 years they are to re.
unite by casting aside every vestige
Of Christianity, and segregating the
colored members of the church,
1t is a plan conceived in hell
nurtured and sustained by the devil
and reputation of the basic princi.
pies by the Christ which this great
church claims to follow.
And the disgusting part is, that
some colored men are partners in the
infamy.

DUMB CANDIDATES.

The Nationals Association for the
Advancement of Colored People an
nounces that fifteen of the seventeen
presidential candidates failed to reply
to a QUESTIONABLE sent them by the
Association on February 10, and re-
peated on March IL, asking their
views on seven main issues which
colored people regard as fundamental.
The QUESTIONABLE asked whether they
were In favor of the enactment of fed
eral laws against lynching; whether
they would advocate Congressional en-
fOrcement Of the Fourteenth Amend
ment by reduction of representation
of states which disfranchise their citi-
zens, or whether they would advocate
as an alternative the appointment of
United States Commissioners to en-
force the Fifteenth Amendment
whether they would endeavor to bring
about the abolition of Jim crow cars
in interstate traffic; whether they
would urge National aid to elementary
education without discrimination
against colored children: whether they
would favor the apportionment of COL
ored soldiers and officers in the army
in proportion to their numbers in the
population; whether they would abol-
ish radical segregation in the civil
service of the United States; whether
they would withdraw armed or other
interference with the independence of
Haiti.
The two candidates who replied to
the Associations QUESTIONABLE were
Senators Harding and Poindexter, the
former stating that it was not consist
ent with his views to take up the cate.
gorical questions asked by the Associ-
alton, that conventions are called

coWARDLY BISHOP REeukED.

We reprint from the Cleveland Ca
zette, edited by Hon. Harry c. 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 G..
H. Phillips pacifist 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 limited degree,
enjoy, all three. In the South, our
people are asking the last two. So
cial equality is a myth. It does not
exist among any class (race) of
Americans. It 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
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1920-05-01

trict was becoming settled by colored
people and therefore Wendell Phillips
High School should be made "colored."
That would be an outrageous perver-
sion of the name, for Wendell Phillips
was real Christian white man who
devoted his life to work in righting
the wrongs of his colored brethren.
There are neighborhoods in Chicago
inhabited almost exclusively by Ital-
ians, Chinese, Poles, Russians and other
foreigners, but the thought never
comes to Mr.. Perrine or others of his
ilk to restrict the children in those
neighborhoods to "exclusive'' Italian,
Chinese, Polish or Russian schools.
The schools remain PUBLIC schools,
open to ALL.
There has been much talk about the
"Chicago Plan" and now we are get
ting some intimation that segregation
is to be a part of that plan. However
We believe that the thinking colored
people of Chicago have their eyes open
and will be ready to fight jimcrowiza-
ton of the schools.
One thing that Mr.. Perrine said is
true: 1.-THE colored boys and girls are
entitled to the best in the way of
equipment and teachers" The colored
children have the same rights as other
children, no more and no less. TO at
tempt to se.gregate them is to take
from them their birthright. The only
way they can get the "best" is to at
tend the identical schools that other
American children attend. A jimcrow
school built of gold and studded with
diamonds would still carry with it the
degradation for which it was designed.

Some get-rich-quick concerns are
endeavoring to persuade patriotic
Liberty bond holders, whom they
know will not sell outright their Lib
erty bonds, to turn over their Liberty

for a loan and with the money thus
borrowed purchase stock in their

A Liberty loan bond is the safest

THE BEGINNINGS OF SEGREGA.

The following item from the Chicago
Daily Tribune is interesting as show
ing the various influences which are
suggesting and encouraging segrega.
ton.
THE possibility of Wendell Phillips
High school at Thirty-ninth street and
Prairie avenue being set apart for COL
ored pupils exclusively, "by a natural
segregation" was suggested last night
by Principal Charles H. Perrine. At
the First Presbyterian church, Grand
boulevard and Forty-frst street. DR..
Perrine spoke at the first of a series
of Sunday night community meetings
in connection with the Chicago Plan.
Negro boys and girls deserve the
best available in the way of teachers
and equipment. The district around
Wendell Phillips is rapidly becoming
settled by colored people, and there
are paratively few white pupils.
They are getting fewer and fewer.
"The time is near at hand when we
shall need another high school farther
south to take care of the increased
white population there A modern
nigh school located somewhere near
Fiftieth street will be necessary soon
and should be included in the Chi
cago Plan. Wendell Phillips will be
then exclusively for colored pupils,
They should be given the finest high
school possible"

the First church, Announces a series
of discussions on Sunday evenings to
consider the duty of the church in the

TURNING BACKWARD.
(From the Boston Daily Post

(FTom the Boston Daily Post.)
1t may be difficult for many people
to believe that the Supreme Court of
the United States would render a de.
cision in favor of the lin crow" rail-
road car law of any State but it has
done so.
On Monday the great tribunal
handed down an opinion unfolding
the Kentucky separate coach act, re-
curing the separation of white and
colored passengers, and holding that it
applies to the South Covington and
Cincinnati Street Railway and the
Cincinnati, Covington and Erlanger
Railway Company while operating be-
tween points Kentucky.
We do not presume, to try to teach
the Supreme Court its business, but it
certainly seems that such a decision
is going backward in the determina-
ton of human rights and privileges.
We are told that Judges Van Devan-
ter, Pitney and Day dissented from
this ukase, and we'll they may have.
