CODE OF HONORABLE, NAMES

Recently a valued exchange con.
tanned the following:
My name for every true man in
these United States will be the hon
orable name of American"
My reference to all new Ameri-
cans" born in other lands shall never
be dishonored by slurs, nicknames or
hyphens.
My purpose shall be to discourage
in the native born the love for titles,
to help every immigrant to forget his
hyphen and be proud of the name
American and to stamp out the use of
such nicknames as words of .derision
of the foreign-born.
We pledge our service never to use,
and to discourage everywhere, the use
OF such words as Dago, Dutchy,
Froggy, Ginny, Greaser, Heiny, Hor-
wat, Hunky, Hike, Mick, Paddy,
sheny, Spaghetti, Wop, as applied to
any foreign-born resident of the
United States of America.
With all of which we heartily agree,
but we would have been much better
pleased if the list had included some
of the nicknames that are so frequent
~ applied to class of native born
100 per cent Americans, viz: =" Negro,
niger, darkey, coon, shine, moke,
dingy, pickaninny, etc., and as alb
noxious as those named are to the
class to which they are applied.

SINISTER SAY jAMAIcANS.

Public opinion in Jamaica is grow
ing stronger against the suggestion
that: Jamaica should be annexed for
commercial and political purposes to
Canada. The author of the. sugges-
ton, John Grove, a Newfoundland
millionaire, is referred to in an ar
ticle in the Kingston Cleaner as fol-
lows: -. 49,. T.
"Mr. Groves object is not. the i'm
provement of local conditions and the
strengthening of our producers, a
most important matter, but some per-
nicious political change, to be brought
about for purpose inimical to the
true welfare of the island ..u
OF the 100000 inhabitants of ia
maica, only $4,000 or 10000 are whites.
The $4,000 colored Jamaicans, would

THE NEW YEAR, 1920.

With this issue, THE APPEAL
starts it's Thirty-sixth Volume with
high hopes for brighter, better, more
satisfactory year for the world in gen.
eral and the people in whose welfare
and interest it is published in par
ticular. =
Many very discouraging things have
transpired in the year just closed,
many from which far more fair, just
and humane results were "eonfiden-
TALLY expected. It was hoped that the
splendid part played in the great world
war - "for democracy" by 100000
colored men would receive greater
recognition and reward; but, on all
sides, there seems to have been a care
fully mapped out and concerted plan
to discredit and discourage these 100
per cent Americans. Even in the mat
ter Of lynching, that great blot on this
nation, it is safe to assume that the in
crease of Is in the number. lynched

seven whites lynched, was brought
about mainly as result of the en-
viable war record they had made.
The attitude of the majority of the
American Legion toward their colored
brothers in arms was very unfair and
deplorable.
The outrageous race riots of Wash
ington, Chicago, and Omaha were
causes for great depression, -
The failure of Republican Con-
gress to do the right thing with jim
crow cars was also deplorable. But
despite these and many other things
born Of color prejudice too numerous
to mention we are hoping for many
good things to come to us during 1920.

but they grind exceedingly fine.".
There is much for US to do, let us
buckle on our armor and go forward
with the determination to win. !.
" There are many riffs of sunshine
that have forced themselves through.
the dark clouds that lower upon us
that give us great hopes for bright
and prosperous season in the year

RETRlBuTIoN.

There was a man whose fame was
won,
By blowing in an empty gun. ~
No sooner in the gun he blew,
Than off this mortal sphere he flew,
And met the girl in yonder scene,
Who lit the fire with kerosene.
And there he saw in vengeance dire,
The one who called man a liar. >
He was budding close as II for life,
Beside the man who whipped his wife.
Take warning each, take warning all,
For retribution sure will fall
On him who does a careless deed,
Or wrongs another without heed.

Keys In Process Of Growth.

Similarly the Chandelier keys and
the corresponding series west Of the
delta are small and new and obviously
connected with the delta building.
"West Of Atchafalaya bay the coast
is characterized by the absence Of
keys and sounds. save Of the infantile
sort, like those of the inland shore of
Mississippi sound; so that this shore
seems incongruous with the rest until
the student discovers the long line Of
completely submerged keys-Sabine
bank, Trinity shoal, Ship shoal, etc.
In a position precisely corresponding
to the Islands south of Mississippi
sound and forming a direct submarine
connection (save as cut off by the
delta) between these islands of the
eastern gulf and the well-developed
keys Of the southern Texas shore.
'The position of these banks, like
that Of the Horn island and its fel-
lows, is such as to demonstrate that
the waters have invaded the mainland,
and that west Of the delta the en-
eroachpent, has been sufficient not
merely to push back the shore line
80 to 100 miles, but completely to SUBJ
merge the ancient keys.
1.-THE most striking feature of these
drowned and half-drowned keys is
their syRnmetric arrangement; except
for the interruption by the delta with
its new and lesser sand banks), the
great bars form sweeping curve reg
ular as the beach line Of q landlocked
bay, and hence afford a rough measure.
Of the outbuilding of the delta as well
as Of the invasion of the gulf on its
tanks. ,..... ...-...
''Hardly less striking than the sym.
metry of the series is the closeness Of
continuity between keys and banks;
and 1t Is q significant fact that Gal
weston island is the northwestern
terminus Of the west coast system Of
keys, the last stretch of these sand
banks still rising above the level of
the tide. ~, =. ....s4

Florida Keys Farther Out.

OF Atlantic and gulf, either on the
ground or on the admirable maps Of
the coast and geodetic survey and the
photographic Office of our navy, soon
perceives that the relations between
wave-built bars and wave-cut sea-
ellis vary from coast stretch to coast
stretch. On the New Jersey coast the
bars are beaten we'll back to or beyond
the line Of the seaclfnfs, so that the
ponds or sounds behind the bars are
relatively short and discontinuous
along the Florida coasts the keys
stand farther out to sea and are sepa-
rated from the mainland by great
elongated sounds often affording nav
igable waterways; while about the
northern shores of the gulf the rela-
tons Of the keys to sounds are more
variable.
CLOSER study serves to interpret
these variable relations. From Florida
westward to Mobile bay the keys are
nearly continuous and the sounds long
and narrow; thence westward to
Lake Borgne the typical keys are lost,
though their lines continue in a series
Of islands-Ship island, Horn island,
Cat island, etc.-separated from the
mainland by the broad Mississippi
sound; still farther westward new
series q. keys, cratic In form and
trend, appears in the: Chandelier
islands, and beyond the delta there is
"a corresponding (and correspondingly
erratic) series Of low keys stretching
westward nearly or quite to Atcha-
falaya bay.
