RIGHTS SHOULD BE SAME.

!. In a general way, Hr. Harding, the
Republican candidate for President,
says that he is for the rights of COL
ored men. He says, II believe that
colored men should be guaranteed the
enjoyment Of all their rights"
, Those are good words and we thank
him for having said them; but in the
United States there is wide diver
gence of views as to the rights of the
"Negro," or ,colored man" or AFRO
American In one state it means one
thing and something else in another
state. Even in Ohio rights of the
.colored man has an uncertain mean
ing. In the South, rights" for any
other than a white man has little
meaning. &:@z4.:1 r.. e,
Mr.. Harding would enhance his
chances for securing the votes of COL
ored men and women by stating that
the rights Of both white and, colored
American citizens should be absolute.
ly IDENTICAL - @...2.
Mr.. Harding, if elected, the first
thing you can do, without the sadvice
and consent" of the Congress, will be
to issue an executive order abolishing
racial segregation, which is carried on
in the departments at Washington and
in some parts of. the country without
warrant of law. -
Mr.. Harding, if elected, will you is
sue such an order? "
Mr.. Harding, il 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! TX
Mr.. Harding, if elected, will you
recommend and 5endeavor to secure
the enactment of Federal anti-lynch-
ing law? .s~-
Mr.. Harding, if elected, will you en-
deavor to secure the abolition of the
Jimcrow car in interstate travel?
Mr.. Harding, if elected, will you
recommend and endeayor to secure
legislation abolishing the color line
in the United States Army and in the
United Sta.es Navy?
Mr.. Harding, if elected, will you re-
store the colored mans status quo

SEGREGATION in CAMPAIGN,

For two years THE APPEAL has
been writing to the Chairman and
other officers Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee and prominent Re-
pubilcans all over the country on va
rious party policies, giving the view
point of large number of colored
voters, and the replies received in
variably said that the contentious were
right.
In the matter of putting colored men
on the platform and policies COM
mittee Of the Republican National
Committee, appointed last January,
Chairman Hays accepted the viewpoint
Of THE APPEAL and appointed five
colored men as full and equal mem
bers.
Then came suggestions for the in.
corporation of certain planks in the
party platform. THE APPEAL was
not alone, the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, the National Equal Rights League,
and number of strong national and
local organizations offered planks,
which,, although differently worded,
were the same in meaning. In the
matter Of lynching, the platform COM
m1ttee of the Republican National Con-
vention, in the language of prominent
colored women, when we asked for a
plank, gave US a splinter" The other
planks offered for the abolition Of seq
regation in the civil service, in the
Army, in the Navy, and on common
carriers, were all thrown into the dis
card.
Recently THE APPEAL has written
to the nominees, Republican National
Committee people and prominent Re-
publicans, asking that jimcrowism be
eliminated, and we were led to believe
that, in spite of the fact that the
Republican National Convention had
sidestepped clear-cut plank for equal
rights for all Americans, there would
be no segregation in the campaign.
Now comes the information that a
segregated colored bureau is to be es-
tablished, with Mr.. Henry Lincoln
Johnson, of Georgia, at it's head. Short
ly after Mr.. Johnson was elected a
member OF the Republican National
Committee, THE APPEAL wrote to
him and asked him as member of
the committee to make fight against
jimcrowism Of any kind in the cam
paign. A ready-addressed stamped en-
velope was enclosed for reply, but,
up to this writing, no reply has been
received.
The Cleveland Advocate is authority
for the statement that Mr.. Johnson
will select speakers 'who will address
colored gatherings exclusively and no
speakers will be assigned to speak
from the same platform with white
speaker and before mixed audience."'
If this is true, it is the most outrag-
eous segregation of which. we have
ever heard in politics. If white and
colored citizens OF q common country
can not, meet in a political campaign,
where on earth can they meet? This is
segregation with ! vengeance and if
this is to be the policy of the Repub-

A CURSE, NOT A RENEFAcTioN.

The recent offer of Julius Rosen.
valid, a wealthy Jew of Chicago, to
give money to aid in the organization
Of segregated Young Mems Christian
CD Associations will not in the end
be a benefit to the colored people.
If he had confined his offer to the
Southern States the harm would not
have been SO great, but to include the
whole country, he is doing a great
wrong, from which it will take hun.
dreds Of years for the country to re-
cover. He wrongs not only the col
ored people but he wrongs the whole
people by catering to an un-Christian
prejudice.
1t is surprising that man of Jew
lsh ancestry whose people have been
for thousands of years and are even
now the victims of race hatred would
do anything to increase the race hat
red between white and colored Chris
tons of the United States, for there
is no questioning the fact that such
establishments have served to increase
the prejudice of the white people
against their colored brothers, as the
establishment of any kind of segre-
gated semi-public place will do.
If Mr.. Rosenwald had told the Cen
trail Y. M. c. AS in the North that
he would give money only on condi-
ton that these quasi-public institutions
be open to colored men as freely as
they are to those of other races, even
the scum Of the earth he would have
been true benefactor. .... t..

1.-THE TRAGEDY. OF THE HALF
x ..., LOAF" 49,: r. ..--

IOAfs"
THE APPEAL heartily endorses
every word of the following editorial
from our enterprising and uncompre-
missing contemporary, The Chicago
Whip. What a pity that there are so
few "Whips" among the papers edited
by colored men: ..-
The strongest races of men, and the
most indomitable characters of history
have always either uncompromisingly
demanded every scintilla of their just
| rights, or, being denied the full meas
ure of attainment of their ideals have
| spurned even life itself.
Patrick Henry in crying out for
"either liberty or DEATH" voiced the
sentiment of the Pilgrim Fathers, who
preferred the unknown horrors Of the
great uncharted Western ocean and
the sayage-ridden land beyond to re-
ligiousy oppression in. a comfortable
| home. "@ .-', 80 -
| But the American colored man is
apparently satisfied with the HALF
LOAF. For ESQ years he was so told
that he was entitled to NOTHING -
that he even enjoyed life itself by SUI
france. His mind was so deliberately
dwarfed and stunted that he could not
even think to. the contrary.
So we'll was this psychology in.
grained into him, that even today, race
leaders Of the old school, finding it i'm
possible to break from this log cabin
philosophy, handed it down to free
men,"
He was so thoroughly robbed of his
mentality, that he complacently helped
manufacture the shot and shell which
enabled his masters to keep him in
slavery. When Liberty and Citizen
ship were granted him, his childish
mind could not grasp their signif-
canoe. He took what was given him
with thankful heart, thanks to the
teachings of the old school.
/ He has not yet demanded unequiv.
cally all that is due him! He fears
to refuse acceptance Of the Half Loaf
and demand the WHOLE, trembling
lest he be denied any at all. With
apologize mien and Sinking smile
he renders gratitude for Jim Grow
Settlement Houses, Jim Crow Soldiers
and Sailors Clubs, Jim Crow Y. M
c. AS, Jim Grow Officers Training
Camps, Jim Crow churches, frater
mites and politics.
He thus plays the begger's role in
spite of the fact that he has proven
himself to be an indissoluble and
indivisible entity Of the whole warn
and wool Of America, economic, politi
cal, military and social. He is the
economic backbone Of the South He
holds the balance of political power
as he is beginning to learn. He has
always been the fangs of the American
army. His blood, suspected and un.
suspected, flows in more veins than
any other one strain in America.
He is still slave if he accepts any.
thing short Of the full unstinted meas.
ure of recognition and respect. The
New Colored American will never
again be satisfied with EQUAL
RIGHTS when they are not the SAME
RIGHTS. The NEW Colored Ameri.
can, repudiating the teachings of the
old school, who led him into the quag-
mire of peonage and serfdom MUST
and WILL spurn the Half Loaf and
lay hold onto the WHOLE LOAF, $50

Washington, D. c., August 10.-The
Republican National Committee has
opened southern headquarters in Wash

Virginia, in charge. 1t, is the first time
that the party has maintained south
ern headquarters, which, it is under

clusively. Negroes will be referred to
the "Colored Bureau" at Chicago. Some
Republican dreamers imagine that a
big white vote can be polled in the
South, but when the election is over,
it will be found that the solid South"
is still doing business at the old stand.

High Finance

Ray McKaig, nonpartisan league
organizer, is some j. Rufus Walling-
ford. At the recent meeting of
nonpartisan leaguers held at Sand

men to give notes for $4,000 each to
cover post-dated checks of SIG each

partisan league bank in North Da-
kota. 1t was these post-dated checks
that got the nonpartisan league bank
at Bismarck in trouble and led to the
closing of its doors by the state
