INSISTS UPON SEGREGATION.

1t seems that the War Department
is determined to continue it's jim-crow
policy. For sometime the people of
Massachusetts have been endeavoring
to have colored men admitted to all
branches of the army, but the admins
tration at Washington insists that
Americans of different complexion
must not fight together in defense of
Old Glory and that it is the "patriotic
duty" of colored Americans to be salts.
fed with jinl-crowism.
In a recent letter to Governor Cal
vim Coolidge of Massachusetts,, Secre-
tary Baker of the War Department
regretted" that nothing could be done
"as a departure would have to be
made from the War Departments
policy of maintaining separate divi-
sions for white and colored troops"
The letter ends with this paragraph:
1T is believed that the colored citi-
zens of Massachusetts, should be re-
minded that it is the better part of
patriotism to volunteer for such serv-
ices as may be required rather than
to attempt to lay down conditions
which the War Department must meet
before services can be expected of
them
When the world war was on colored
American soldiers fought and died for
to the most Infamous determinations
and humiliations, and they would fight
again if their country was menaced,
but we do not believe that they ought
to enlist at all in time of peace un-
less there is a radical change in the
jim-crow policy which ruled during the
world war.

William G. McAdoo, former secre-
tary of the treasury in a recent letter
in reply to notice that he had been

America needs it's greatest man. and
that he doubted that he possessed the
qualifications necessary.
WE'LL Mr.. McAdoo certainly took an
accurate measure of himself. He is
not in any sense a man fit to be presi-

and has been one of the main props
to keep the South in the saddle in the
past seven years. He has no concep-

BEsTs sHREWD POLITICIANS.

Henry Lincoln Johnson was elected
Georgia member of the Republican
National Committee in spite of the
schemes to prevent him from winning
the honor.
Every possible influence was
brought to bear on Johnson. Young
Colonel Roosevelt came to him and
told him that he must get off the
track and allow white man to be
elected. Roosevelt was promptly
"cussed out" for his interference, and
told to attend to the business of his
own state. Finally it was decided not
to seat him until he had written a
letter stating that he would make no
further efforts to be elected and John
son wrote the letter. However the
statement was absolutely true, he did
not make any further efforts. Thew
were unnecessary, as he had already
been elected by a vote of 10 to for
Roscoe Pickett, white man, but for
fear that the credentials committee
would reverse it's decision and unseat
him, the fact was suppressed until il
was too late for change to be made
Politics as played in conventions is
largely battle, Of wits. johnson
matched his wits against some of thu
shrewdest minds in the game of poll
tics and won.

"BACk TO ABYSSlNIA,"

A lot of ignorant black men, attired
in fantastic garments, bearing aloft
the flag of Abyssinia, and led by an
alleged Abyssinian, paraded in Chi
cago Sunday. The procession finally
halted at a corner where the Abys-
,sinian leader burned the American
flag. This action was resented by the
crowd composed of colored and white
people and in the melee two white
men were killed and two colored men,
Including a policeman, were danger
ously wounded.
The toughs in the crowd tried to
start race riot, but sober white men
and sober colored men stood together
and trouble was averted. Colored men
formed a posse, hunted down the men
charged with murder and turned them
over to the officers of the law.
The next day the Chicago Tribune,
which for years has done everything
in it's power to stir up race prejudice,
laid the cause of the trouble to the
writings of DR.. w. E. B. Dubois and
the N. A. A. G. P. and in bitter edi-
torial intimated that these influences
were endeavoring to force "social
equality" what ever that may mean.
1t is not likely that three men in all
the motley crowd even knew that
there is such a person in the world
as Du Bois
Then came some colored men who
played into the Tribune's hands by
giving out interviews which either de-
nounced Du Bots or damned him with
faint praise by saying that his philos-
pphy was all right for high brows but
dangerous for the men in the ordinary
walks of life. One of the most dis
gushing of these is alleged to have
been given by Mr.. Anderson, said to
be one of the assistant editors of the
Chicago Defender. We trust Mr..
Anderson did not say what was as
croed TO him, as from his talk the
readers Of the Tribune would be led
to infer that he was an advocate of
segregation Of every kind. And then
he commented on intermarriage which
really had no place in the controversy
having been INTERCEPTED by the Tri-
bune without any reason whatever:
Mr.. Anderson appears to have done
some queer talking when he said he
was very anxious to keep the African
blood pure as, so THE APPEAL is
Informed, Mr.. Anderson is more white
than black, one parent having been Of
pure Caucasian ancestry and the other
more than half white. All that talk
should have been left unsaid.

crow Christianity.
(From the Boston Guardian.)
Word comes that a public meeting
has been held in the Peoples Bap
fist Church, addressed by Matthew
! Bullock and by white men, announc
ing that Boston is to have a Colored
Branch of the Y. M. G. A. This is
| institutional jim-crowism, educational
and recreational segregation. Here
will be concrete lesson of separate
provisions for colored in a semi-public
institution supposedly for all men.
Here will be self-confession of non
association ability of colored people
with all the rest in the public life.
Im.croWism and segregation are an
awful menace, degradation and dan
ger in our country. They are put up.
on colored people only. Jim-crowism
is being extended. The rest of the
American people, even foreigners, are
looking down upon US more and more
as they see that We alone are barred
out or separated in institutional and
public places. The minute we accept
a separate branch or place, the Segre-
gators get the argument on us that
we. practice and accept it where we
can get money or position out Of it,
and so ought not to seek service where
they lose money by it. We ruin, our
{cSr
gard to Christian educational places,
which should be open to US as
brothers, and are open in Boston; but
never are: after a special place has
been established. ."' :.
All over the West civil rights are
denied. We are even barred from
soda fountains, so strong is the jino-
crow feeling. Our people have no
chance to keep white people accus-
toned to contact with colored people,
In fact, they are taught it is unnatural
by separate Y. M. G, AS, etc.
1t is ten times harder to get public
service where whites see colored seq
regated in Christian institutions. In
Boston we. have more rights and free
dom than anywhere else. We, then,
should keep out any civic separation
One leads to another and soon Massa-
chusetts will be as bad as Ohio. Save
Massachusetts,.
The South justifes jim-crow cars in
the incompatibility Of white and COL
ored. In the name of the Abolitionists
do stubbornly oppose and resist any
jim-crow Y. M. C. A. in Boston. It is
a concession and help to the South
and Wilson. Accept this and we can't
stop other things. Our cause and race
is doomed. Jim-crowism breeds jim
crowism, and this in principle is of
the jim-crow car.
Protest to the Y. M. C. A., in the
press, and in meetings. Our future is
at stake. SAVE BOSTON.

Mr.. William M. Trotter,

My dear Mr.. Trotter:

The attempt of some lickspittle
leaders to foist this disgraceful con-
dition upon the city in which William

stttution are unfit for freedom and

In the United States, segregation

then follows the loss of civil rights
and civil degradation. The Caucasian
Christian church is a parody on Chris

pie incalculable harm.
The most valuable thing in the
world is manhood. There is nothing
that will take it's place. It is a jewel

ORGANIZED LABOR iERASES
COLOR LINE,

It is with considerable satisfaction
that we learn from press dispatches,
that the American Federation of
Labor at it's annual convention in ses-
sion at Montreal, Can, June 10, wiped
out the "color line" and warned it's
affiliated international unions that
colored workers must be given full
and equal membership with white
men. This is certainly as it should be
as it should always have been, for of
one blood God made all men; and, He
is no respecter Of persons. His crea.
lures surely would make no mistake
in following His example.

1.-THE TRAGEDY OF THE HALF
LOAF"

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:
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 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.
