THREE MEN AT CHICAGO.

According to press reports, three
men, two avOWed candidates and one
a possibility addressed colored or
ganization, in session at Chicago on
Lincoln's birthday.
Governor Lowden, of Illinois, the
first speaker handed out few gilt
tering generalities, for which he re-
ceived reward of scant applause.
Then came William Hale Thompson,
Mayor of Chicago, who said:
If there is one great duty before
the people Of America today it is to
uphold the Constitution" the Mayor
said.
I'VE see the sorry spectacle of vio-
lation Of the constitution every day
and the colored people and William
Hale Thompson are going to stand by
the constitution and fight for it to the
last ditch.
Wild cheering broke forth and hats
were tossed in the air.
Then came Major General Leonard
Wood who ended an excellent address
with these clear cut words:
To-day the important thing is
law and order. There is no group that
stands for. law and order more than
you colored people. You should be
protected from mob violence. You
should have equal rights. There should
be no class legislation. We should
have a free and untrammeled United
States"
He was vociferously applauded.

A few more loyal, able, aggressive,
outspoken, fearless and unselish mem.
bers Of the race like Dr. VIM. A.
Byrd, Prof. Neval H. Thomas and Ed
itor VIM. Monroe Trotter would &C.
cOmplish more for the race in one
year than a moving-van full of the
conservative kind of leaders," in
twenty years. The race has been
greatly retarded in it's progress, for
years, and has often lost "ground' un-
necessarily because it has been so I'M
fortunate as to have at times been mis-
represented by the latter. Sane ''radi-
cap leaders, of the kind mentioned,
are needed more in this day and time
than ever before and what is most en-
couraging is the fact that they are
slowly but surely increasing in num-
Der and our people are at last begin
ming to appreciate them and what we
have set forth in the foregoing More
power to them!
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1920-02-21

Some colored men, particularly the
jimcrowists, are throwing up their hats
and shouting for different Republicans
who "have been mentioned'' for the
Presidential nomination. The sane
way would be to stop, look and listen.
1t will be time enough to shout when
some candidate comes out boldly and
announces that he will, if elected,
recommend the enforcement Of the
Fifteenth Amendment and use his in
fuence with Congress to see that it is
enforced, and also to endeavor to Sc
cure the repeal of all jimcrow laws
and the abolition of all segregation
regulations. That's the kind Of man
to shout for.

Mrs. Edith Kermit Roosevelt wid(

Mrs. Edith Kermit Roosevelt, widow
Of Theodore Roosevelt, is president Of
the association of gold star mothers
and fathers organized in New York
to oppose the return of bodies of
American soldiers killed in France.
THE APPEAL believes that the
colored people should oppose the re-
turn of the bodies of colored soldiers
who were killed in France fighting for
democracy" to the U. S. A. This
country is no place for colored man
when alive if he believes in democracy
and certainly the relatives of those
who were killed should be proud of
the fact that they are buried in free
soil and their remains rest in peace.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1920-02-21
FEDERAL AID TO SOLDIERS.

In almost every community in the
United States there is a discharged
soldier, sailor, marine, or war nurse,
suffering from some injury. or all
ment, which dates back to service
with the fighting forces.
Often this injury or ailment has
made it hard or impossible for them
to fit in where they did formerly.
They are Handicapped and need help;
not charity, but mental and physical
reconstruction. In many cases such
people unfortunately keep their trou-
bles to themselves. They are reluc-
tant to seek aid or advice, for fear
their friends might consider them
weak. Possibly you know such a per-
son.
If you do, encourage him to take his
troubles to the Government. The War
Risk Insurance Bureau and the United
States Public Health Service are espe-
cially anxious to get in touch with
such individuals. The Public Health
Service has set up a chain of recon
struction bases throughout the coun-
try for beneficiaries Of the War Risk
Bureau. These are not Army hospi-
tails, nor is there Army discipline in
connection with them, but rather
system of hospitals similar to the gen.
eral hospital in large cities except that
the treatment is free and goes much
further than in the ordinary hospital
Recreation, vocational training and
wholesome entertainment are COM
bined with treatment While men are
being bodily rebuilt they have the op-
portunity Of learning some useful &C.
cupation, or pursuing academic stud

GEORGE WASHINGTON,

feriority. In fact, the most dangerous
enemy Of democracy with which we
have to contend, and the most serv-
iceable capitalistic tool, is organized
charity. The large donors to these
Negro "charities'' are making profit
able investments when, through some
well-paid Negro, they can establish a
separate Y. M. G. A., Y. w. C. A. So
cial settlement, or school. These in
situations aid in keeping the toiling
masses apart, so that, on the principle
of divide and conquer" these wealthy
donors" can exploit. So, the collec-
ton of large Contributions by these
Negro segregationists is no achieve
ment, but another barrier to the prog
ress of the race. we'll remember how
one Of these international "secre-
taries" boosted Of getting the money
to build Negro Y. M. C. A. in the
great city Of Chicago. If that institu-
ton remains there long the great civil
rights law Of Illinois will be null and
void. Already it's presence there has
popularized movement for separate
schools and segregation as to homes
for our people.
mo, our solution is not surrender,
but FIGHT! Let the churches and
welfare clubs of Cleveland exert extra
activity for the moral betterment of
Cleveland's youth, and your press, pull
pit, your ballot, and every other power
within you. Agitate for admission
into the associations which bear the
name of Jesus who was mo respector
Of persons" until they acquire a sense
of shame"
THE APPEAL agrees with every
word that Mr.. Thomas has written.
The Y. M. C. A., social settlements,
Community SERVICE" and all similar
schemes are efforts at segregation,
pure and simple. Their purpose is to
bar the colored people from quasi-pub-
lie institutions, to which all other peo-
pie are admitted without question.
When the "colored" Y. M. G.. A: was
opened in Chicago, THE APPEAL pre-
dicted editorially that it would prove
a curse, by reason of creating greater
prejudice and the prediction has been
more than verified. 1t will take thou
sand years to undo the wrong it has
done. Possibly ten thousand years
may not right the wrongs done by the
establishment Of jimcrow Christianity
in the United States.
The man who has given so much
money to divide American Christians
along the color line is a Jew. How
could it be possible for a Jew to be in
terested in the spread of Christianity?
The idea is ridiculous. The shrewd
Jew knew that by catering to the blind
of the so-called white Christ
tians would bring in dollars. He also
knew that jimcrow negroes" would
laud him for his philanthropy" and
start lot of colored mems white sill.
yer dollars rolling his way. It was a
plain Jewish business proposition.
Cupidity not humanity caused him to
spend his money for his pet charity"
And it has paid. For every dollar he
has put in he has taken out two.
The colored man must fight to a. fin
ish any attempt to bar him from any
public or semi-public institution.

THE "NiGGER" IN THE SEGREGA
TON WOODPlLE.

Prof. Neval H. Thomas, a school
teacher in Washington and an active
member of it's N. A. A. G. P, con-
cludes a vigorous news article pub
lished in the Cleveland Gazette with
words which answer the boasts of
those who get money for institutions
and houses for Colored people that
keep the races apart. Says Prof.
Thomas:
II have heard many silly Negro ad-
vocates Of segregation boast Of how
much money they can raise for a
Negro enterprise, too blind to see that
most any white man will contribute
literally to any movement that will
keep Colored people away from him

like as it is possible to make it.
A great many men who went into
the Army have developed tubercu-
losis and other diseases requiring spe-
cial treatment. The Public Health
Service has separate hospitals and
sanateriums for these patients, where
they may get the best treatment
known to medical science.
A large number of soldiers are not
yet aware that the Government offers
them free treatment. Please tell
them.

The colored man has been in this
country as long as the Anglo-Saxon
white man. He has helped in propor-
ton to his numbers to make it the
great and powerful nation that it is.
He pays taxes, he obeys laws, he sheds
blood to defend it. Yet he is denied
his civil rights almost everywhere in
the land He does not enjoy the lib
erty he has earned. The crisis has
come in the United States. He must
demand his rights. He must fight for
them. He must appeal for aid to the
millions of white men in American
who love justice enough to give him
his due.

''HUMAN NATURES FOULEST BLOT"

My ear is panied
My soul is sick with every days report
OF wrong and outrage, with which earth is filed
There flesh in mans obdurale heart

Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of skin
Not cOlOred like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey
Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:
