Dr.. Leroy Bundy in St. Paul.

Through the efforts of the T. 7 M.
{. the people of the Twin Cities were
furnished an opportunity last Mon
day night at Union Hall to hear DR..
Leroy Bundy tell his story of the
East st. Louis riots in 1917, as a re-
suit of which he is now under a life
sentence to the penitentiary, but is
out under $4,000 bond endeavoring
to raise funds to carry his case to
the Supreme Court of the United
States, if need be.
There were only about $50 persons
in the halb-which should have been
filled to acpacity - but they proved
themselves to be imbubed with the
proper spirit in the case by paying
an admission fee of so cents.
ATTY. J. Louis Erwin, president of
the 4. z M. c., presided and present
ed the object of the meeting.
Atty: B. S. Smith, of MINNEAPOLIS.
made few applicable remarks.
Atty Chas~ Galloway, counsel for
DIR. Bundy, introduced the martyr in
a very able way.
DR.. Bundy told a most remarkable
story filled with FACTS that had not
been published in the accounts fur
nished at the time in the daily press
and which were so narrowing as to
be almost unbelievable.
The story, however, so impressed
the audience that when an announce
ment was made that those who felt
disposed to help the cause would be
given an opportunity to do so, the
response was so generous that the
remarkable sum of $1O6.4O was laid
upon the table.

the English who come over to be pub

short illness. Sunday morning, July
18th, aged 20 years.
Funeral services were held at his
home in Monticello under the aus
pices Of the Monticello lodges, during
which the stores Of the town were
closed and large number of the
people gathered on the lawn, and the
services were conducted by Rev. B.
F. Buck from the porch. A male

After the Masonic services the
members of the Order escorted the

Minneapolis.
On Wednesday afternoon, July q,
after many neighbors and friends had
paid their respects at the home Of
his parents, the remains were taken
to st. Thomas Mission, members Of
the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Of
which he was a member, acting as
pallbearers.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rector A. H. Lealtad, ably as
sisted by the choir. -.

In his chosen field Of labor the
deceased stood very high as his
school record will testify. He was
member of the Minnesota Pharma-
ceutical Association, the Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity and the Masons, all
of which organizations paid him the
highest honors.
The floral tributes from his friends
in Monticello as we'll as the Twin
Cities were very numerous and beau
tiful.
The remains were laid in their last
resting place in Lakewood cemetery
on the side of a beautiful rolling hill.
In the death of Roy T. Scott, this
community and his adopted home
have lost a useful and dearly be-
loved member. May his memory and
example long live, though his place
in the world can never be filled.
Mr.. Samuel McCracken, of Mt.

the mother of the deceased, were in
Minneapolis to attend the funeral.
The floral tributes were very numer-

ROY THEODORE SCOTT
ONLY SURVIVING SON OF mr.. AND
MRS. A. White SUDDENLY DIES.
In the Prime of Life, with Bright Pros
poets for Successful Prosperous
Future, He Answered the Last Call,

Just a little more than four years
and four months ago THE APPEAL
chronlcled the passing away Of Sam
uel McCracken Scott, younger son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. White, 1882 Fifth
Avenue So, Minneapolis.
He not only was the brother, but
the boon companion of Roy T. Scott,
the elder son of their devoted par
ents, whose hearts were bowed with
grief at his untimely taking off, and
hoy was almost inconsolable in his
grief at his loss.
Little did the parents think that so
short a period of time would pass
before the shadow Of the ''grim mon
ster" would again fall athwart their
pathway and fill their hearts with
sorrow and gloom.
But he ways of Providence are past
finding out; and, now, they are be-
reft of both sons.
Roy Theodore Scott was born in
St. Paul Jan. ID, 1891, and spent the
greater part of his life in the Twin
Cities. He graduated from Central
High School in the class of 1911 and
completed a course in the School of
Pharmacy in the University of Min
nesota in 1914, taking the degree of
Bachelor of Pharmacy.
While studying in the University
he was employed by the Public Drug
Co., of Minneapolis, and he continued
in their employ until 1916 when he
went to Monticello, Minn., to take the
position of Pharmacist in the Owl
Drug Store. His efficient and faith
full service in that store during the
past four years won the confidence
and esteem of his employer and the
entire community.
On April 7, 1915, he was married
to Miss Camille Ford, and their union
was blessed with two very lovely
children, Nina and Roy, Jr.
He was Past Grand of the Odd
Fellows and Masonic lodges of Mon
ticello.
To all appearances he was on the
road to prosperity and happiness.
"He saved others, now let him save
himself" said the thief on the cross
as he reviled the crucified Lord. So,
the deceased, by his pharmaceutical
skill had saved many, but he could
not save himself when the rider of
the pale horse appeared and beaconed

colored men have risen to the highest

JAMAICA WOMEN TO VOTE.

Under new law the women Of
Jamaica, British West Indies, are to
have vote in the elections for the
parochial boards and the legislature.
Every woman is entitled to vote if
she is Is years of age or more, can
read and write, and is of British ma
tionality, but she must have also GER
tain, salary or property qualifications.
The salary designated is $25 per year,
or she must pay $50 in rent or $40
taxes on house, lands or personal
property. The requirements are so
liberal that it is estimated that ninety
per cent Of the women can meet them.
According to the census the popu-
lation of Jamaica is about $4,000,
classified as "black," $4,000; "col-
ored," 100000; white" 100000. AS a
matter of fact, according to recent
visitors, there are, actually not 1000
people who can trace their ancestry
back to point where there is no ad-
mixture of African blood: There are
also large numbers of Chinese, Japan
csc and East Indians among the popu-
lation, the Chinese controlling the
greater part of the retail trade. The
intermarriage of the whites, and Me-
groes, Chinese. Japanese and East
Indians has produced a crop of beau
tiful children, really new race to
which the various races have con-
tributed their best mental and physi-
cal points.

CALVIN COOLlDGE'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
paragraph relative to colored citizens
is especially fine, and evidently sim
cere; it is as follows:
There is especially due to the COL
ored race a more general recognition
of their constitutional rights. Tempted
with disloyalty, they remained loyal,
serving in the military forces with dis
tinction, obedient to the draft to the
extent of hundreds of thousands, in
vesting 81 out of every SIS they pos
sessed in Liberty bonds; surely, they
hold the double title of citizenship, by
birth and by conquest, to be relieved
from all imposition, to be defended
from lynching, and to be freely granted
equal opportunities"

SATURDAY, JULY 81, 1918.
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 a 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 I've
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 a 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
mittee Of the Republican National Con-
vention, in the language of prominent
colored women, when we asked for a
plank, gave US 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 a 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 a member of
the committee to make fight against
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1920-07-31

jimcrowism Of any kind in the cam
paign. A ready-addressed stamped en-
velope was enclosed for a 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 a 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 a common country
can not meet in a political campaign,
where on earth can they meet? This is
segregation with a vengeance and if
this is to be the policy of the Repub-
lican National Committee in the pres
ent campaign, THE APPEAL does not
hesitate to say that it is Infamous and
should be reversed Immediately. It
should not only be reversed, but wide
publicity should be given to the fact of
it's reversal. Further, proof should be
given that it really has been changed
by having good colored speakers ap-
pear and address all Of the large meet
ings in the large cities of the country.
There is no necessity for a segre-
gated colored bureau, and in spite Of
the fact that some, who have axes to
grind, favor it, it's formation is really
an insult to the party loyalty of the
colored people. There might be some
excuse for organizing a foreign Ian
guage division for the purpose of
reaching naturalized Americans who
have a limited knowledge of the En-
glish language. All other Americans,
either naturalized or native born of
English, Scottish, Irish, French, Ger
man, Spanish or other descent, who
speak English, will do business through
the regularly constituted bureaus at
the national headquarters.
The colored people Of this country
are not NATURALIZED, they are
NATIVE BORN AMERICANS, and En-
glish is their mother tongue. Accord
ing to the census of 1910, only 1876 of
the so.called colored people in the
United States were born in Africa.
Having lived in America for ten or
twelve generations, the colored people
have a clearer idea of real American
ism than the millions Of foreigners
who have come later and have done
less for the country. And they feel
that they are entitled to the rights of
citizenship in all their fullness.
Now is the time to find out what
the party and it's nominees will do.
1t will be fatal to wait until after the
election to make demands So shrew1
a politician as Henry Lincoln johnson
knows that arrangements must be
made In advance. He arranged to
have himself elected national commit
:eeman early. in the game and then,
when prominent Republicans tried to
got him out they were unable to do 80.
If he had delayed he might not now be
committeeman.
We must get busy NOW.

Mr.. Harding, if elected, the first

to issue an executive order abolishing

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,

APPEAL FIGHTS JIMcRoWlsM.

MIR. William M. Trotter,
Editor The Guardian,
Boston, Mass.
My dear Mr.. Trotter:
am enclosing small check to aid
you in your fight against the proposed
Jimcrow Y. M. c. A. for Boston.
The attempt" of some lickspittle
leaders to foist this disgraceful con-
dition upon the city in which William
Lloyd Garrison battled for the free
dom of the slave shows that the COL
ored people who sponsor such an in
stitution are unfit for freedom and
are unworthy of the respect of decent
people.
If a Jimcrow Y. M. C. A. is right,
then lynching, disfranchisement, JIM
crow cars and all of the denominations
Of the South are right. If Jimcrow
Y. M. c.. A. is right, then CHRIS.
T1ANITY IS A LIE.
There is absolutely nothing in the
argument, zone should not go where
he is not wanted" when it is applied
to public or semi-public places. A
Y. NJ. c. A. is a semi.public place
and it is always and everywhere open
to the most degraded Irish, Germans,
Japanese, Chinese, Poles, Russians,
Coreans, Indians, South Sea islanders
and all other peoples, no matter if
they are the scum of the earth. Col
ored~ people should go to the Y. M. C.
AS whether. they are wanted or not.
To admit that one has no right in
them is to admit that one is not
human.
In. tho United States, segregation
usually begins in the church or in
some so-called church institution, and
then follows the loss of civil rights
and civil degradation. The Caucasian
Christian church is a parody on Chris
tianity and has done the colored peo-
pie incalculable harm.
The most valuable thing in the
world is manhood. There is nothing
that viii take its place. It is a jewel
beyond price.
+. I glory in the fact that you are al
ways: ready to protest against Wrong
and: do, not hesitate even when the
devil, Wrong, comes masquerading in
the habiliments of the Christ.
Remember the, words of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox:
ITO sin by silence when we should
protest makes towards out OF men.
The. human race has climbed on pro-
test: Had no voice been raised
against injustice, ignorance and lust,
the inquisition yet would serve the
law, and guillotines decide our least
disputes. The few who dare must
speak and speak again to right the
wrongs of the many"
The American Federation of Labor
has just erased the color line, but
hypocritical American Christianity
takes advantage of the colored mans
deep religious feelings and strength
ems the infamous caste system in an
effort to deprive the race of it's civil
rights, for that is what segregation
of any kind leads to.
Mr.. Trotter, keep up the fight
against the devil and his works. God
is not Knocked.
