Bugs Baer Sees Game From Air.

San Antonio, Tex, March
IA lad by the name of Nc
Graw couldn't launch st. Paddy's
Day in a better spot than a
place labeled Kelly Field. So
teacher took his pupils out to
play the Aviators. Something
new was jerked when an esca-
drille of sporting writer's left
San Antonio and tapped over
the field while the boys were
going through the gestures

country foot is the little cousin

Giants any unearned increment,
but at the height of 5000 foot
rulers all the players looked
like pinheads. We amt saying
they are pinheads, but they
looked like 'em at that dizzy
perch. Col. Miller, the COM
mandant at Kelly Field, as
signed Bugs Baer to Lieut.. Del

Escadrille.
A baseball game looks
very much like a flea circus
from the clouds, especially to a
yam who can get all the avia-
tion he wants right in an in
stalment Morris chair. Between
tail-spins, zooming and barrel
rolls a guy has almost as much
trouble keeping his mind on the
game as he has keeping his din
ner on his stomach.
Step and Half Nose,
the demon trainer, has attached
himself to the Giants little
group of wilful trainers. He de-
tached himself pronto when he
found out that he had pulled a
winning number in a flying
lottery. Step said he wasn't
skeered of one flight, but he
was skeered of getting the
brass ring. Much safer riding

ing, that's what they said amounted to.
THE APPEAL, the Boston Guardian
and a few other papers, under the
head of Gentlemen Of the Minimum"
criticised their action and stated that
that was the proper time to demand
the abolition of Jimcrowism in the
army and if it was not done at that
time, the future would show that a
great mistake had been made.
Time has proved the truth Of the
contentious of THE APPEAL and the
other papers. Jimcrow lines were
rigidly drawn even on the battlefelds,
the American colored soldiers were
shamefully treated, but they fought on
and many thousands gave their pre-
cious lives to make the world safe
for democracy"
Now by a strained Interpretation
OF the new army bill Secretary Baker
practically excludes colored men from
entering the federa1ized national
guard. Instead Of free men they are
to go in as pariahs in pioneer" seq
regated regiments.
THE gentlemen of the minimum"
ought to hang their heads in shame.

WILL you, Mr.; HARDING?

In 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
co1ored 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.

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 white man has little
meaning. -. !.
Mr.. Harding would enhance his
chances for securing the votes of col.

the rights of; both white and colored.
American citizens should be absolute
ly identical. 3

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-

lest he be denied any at all. With
apologize mien and Sinking smile,
he renders gratitude for Jim Crow

and Sailors Clubs, Jim Crow Y. M.
C. AS, Jim Crow 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 warp
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 IN
suspected, flows in more veins than
any other one strain in America.
He is still a 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

1.-THE TRAGEDY OF
THE HALF LOAF
(From The Chicago Whip)

THE APPEAL heartily endorses
every word of the following editorial
from our enterprising and uncompro-
missing contemporary, The Chicago
Whip. What pity that there are so
few whips" among the papers edited
by colored men,. .~~ .s.c.-sr ...
The strongest races of men, and the
most indomitable characters of history
have always either uncompro
demanded every scintilla Of their just
rights, or, being denied the full meas
ure of attainment OF their ideals have
spurned even life itself. 49,.
Patrick Henry In crying out TOR
"either liberty or DEATH" voiced the
sentiment Of the Pilgrim Fathers, who
preferred the unknown horrors of the
great uncharted Western ocean and
the savage-ridden land beyond to re-
ligious oppression in a comfortable
home.
But the American colored man is
apparently satisfied with the HALF
LOAF. For. $50 years he was so told
that he was entitled to NOTHING
that he even enjoyed life itself by suf-
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

frage association, recently said rela.
tive to the granting of suffrage to
women, 1T is not Republican vic
tory; it is not a Democratic victory;
it is not woman's victory; it is not
a mans victory-but an American VIC
tory" And so it is.
Jeanette Carter, a prominent color
ed suffragist, in recent article in the
New York Age, says:
THE colored women of the nation
have duty to perform which they
cannot well shirk. They are obligated
by all of the wrongs heaped upon
them in class legislation and contemp.
tuous public opinion, more degrading
and humiliating to them, it appears,
than to our men, to organize for their
own protection and: the conservation
of their citizen rights, and to use
their power of the ballot and their
power of organized agitation and pro-
test to the very utmost to right the
wrongs unlawfully heaped upon them
in common with the men of their race.
It is a duty, and believe the colored
women of the land will meet it wisely
and fearlessly.'' D..

Carter says and believes that votes
of women will do much to right many
wrongs which jimcrow colored men
have allowed to be heaped upon the

A CURSE, NOT A BENEFAcTloN


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 benefit to the colored people. Z. :.
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-C Christian
prejudice.
1t is surprising that man of Jew.
ish 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 Gen.
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.
