WOOD ILLOGICAL" CANDIDATE FOR
COLORED AMERICANS.

Indianapolis, Indiana, March %
Among the rank and file of the people
the question is being asked: How
can we support anyone but Leonard
Wood? He is right on the Race
question-as was said in the motion
made before the colored voters of In
diana assembled in indianapolis by
Atty, Harrington, Grand Chancellor of
the Knights of Pythias, and seconded
by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Robt. l.. Brokenburr, eve, the color
ed voters of Indiana, are for General
Wood, first, last and all the time pri-
marily because he has the courage to
champion the rights of truly 100 per
cent American citizens, the American
Negroes
Mr.. Harrington headed the delega-
ton from Indiana to the Lincoln
League and was one of those present
who had had chance to compare Gov
LoWden and General Wood. 1t is sig
nificant that Mr.. Harrington pointed
out that what we need today is a mil
itary man to stamp out mob violence
and lynching and man. whose words
are respected like Theodore Roosevelt
and the good Generals own words at
Gary and Omaha when he said, "The
rights of all must be protected"
! And now following the rejection Of
Governor Lowden by the colored Re-
publicans of Missouri assembled in St.
Louis because of his attitude toward
the East st. Louis riot and his mis-
leading statements at the Chicago riot,
the colored Republicans in Ohio have
taken up arms against Senator Hard
ing under the fearless leadership Of
Honorable Ralph Tyler because he re-
fused to recognize 100000 eolored vot-
ers by refusing them delegate to the
Chicago convention and Senator Hard
ing returned last week from Texas
where he went on the invitation of the
lilly Whites" General Wood true to
his record left a place open for a COL
ored delegate. Here is General Woods
statement. 81 know no American by
his color" "A vote for Wood means

"The time is near at hand when we
shall need another high school farther
; south to take care of the increased

The Rev. William Covert, pastor of
the First church, announces a series
of discussions on Sunday evenings to
consider the duty of the church in the
development of the Chicago Plan.
Like nine out Of every ten schemes

Perrine had talked with some jimcrow

negroes in Chicago and in other
cities including st. Paul and Mime
apolis.
Like the majority of schemes for
the degradation of the colored people
it was incubated in a so-called Church
of Christ.
Principal Perrine said that the dis
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 a 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 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 segregate 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.

WHAT is THIS WORLD COMING TO-?

The atrocities that brought on the
great world war and which was con-
tinued during it's four years of activi
ties, seems to have had the effect of
hardening the hearts of men every
where. Life and property weigh moth
ing in the scale. All sense Of reason,
right, justice, mercy and every laud-
able human attribute seems to be en-
tirely lost sight of. All of which
causes to wonder, what is this world
coming to? Pouring oil on human
beings by other human CD beings
and setting fire to them was thought
to be pastime peculiar to prejudiced
southerners, but it appears that the
Turks in Armenia surpass them by
large majority when they broke
through the roofs of seven churches
where Armenians were crowded,
poured burning oil on them set the
buildings on fire and 5000 persisted in
the flames. Six thousand more Ar
menians were killed in the lombard
ment and 1000 more died from cold,
exposure, lack of food and other
causes. Economic conditions at home
and abroad are in a deplorable state
1t seems to be every man for himself
and the devil take the hind most
which again causes us to exclaim:
What is this world coming to?

suggesting and encourag ing segrega-

THE possibility of Wendell Phillips
High school at Thirty-ninth street and
Prairie avenue being set apart for col

by Principal Charles H. Perrine. At
the First Presbyterian church, Grand
boulevard and Forty-first 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

Wendell Phillips is rapidly becoming
settled by colored people, and there
are comparatively few white pupils.
They are getting fewer and fewer. H..

DOES THIS INTEREST YOU?

On certain farm of four acres in
the Lake Phalen district in 1918 crop
of 400 bushels of navy beans was
raised, harvested and sold at $500 per
bushel; in 1919 owing to certain condi.
tons, only 200 bushels were raised
which sold for $3.50 per bushel. The
owner of this little farm is unable to
work it this year, and wishes to Sc.
cure a man who understands raising
beans to work the land The owner
will furnish the land the machinery
and the seed and divide the proceeds
on $3.50 basis. All the man will
have to do is to perform the work
necessary to raise the beans. If this

prof. Neval H. Thomas, a school

cludes a vigorous news article pub

words which answer the boasts of
those who get money for institutions
and houses for Colered 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
l1berally to any movement that will
keep Colored people away from him

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. NJ. 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 a 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 Christian(?
associations 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
prejudice 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 fin
ish any attempt to bar him from any
public or semi-public institution.

Dean Kelly Miller's return from a sue
cessful voyage of archaeological re-

able records which he claims will es-
tablish the antiquity of the colored
race.
1t is the real thing and sets a
standard for Simon pure colored mu-

the dramatic writer's in all parts of the
country where THE SMARTER SET"
has appeared. The show is brilliant
