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 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
mod ir,tn +, hot
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 signifi-
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
apologetic mien and Sinking smile,
he renders gratitude for Jim Crow

and Sailors Clubs, Jim Crow Y. M.

IN separate philanthropic institutions,
Prof. Neval H. Thomas, of Washing
ton, u. c., fays Judge Cor Justice as
he calls him) Robt. H. Terrell as
cOmpromisor.
Prof. Thomas made a splendid fight
against'a separate lunch room in the
District Supreme Court Building. He
says Judge Terrell was quoted by the
judges against him. He charges that
he opposed eolored people coming
North, opposed race petitioners to
Peace Conference and then scores him
for rushing to be the first to greet
President Wilson upon his return from
the Conference. We, ourselves, are
surprised to see the way in which Mr..
Terrell had this sent out over the
country and the way the press dis
played it. He says the Judge presided
at meeting for Sen. Borah to oppose
the 18th amendment Then he speaks
as follows:
HE even sanctioned separate rec
reational centers for colored and
white troops, with those of the col.
ored immensely inferior, in spite OF
the fact that the blood of white and
black alike was flowing in one Grim.
son stream in distant France. Only
agreeable colored people are allowed
to speak to the colored soldiers at the
center Of which he s'head None OF
us radicals who are constantly telling
the colored man that he has done his
share of the dying and that it is high
time he was getting some of the liv.
ing, are ever invited to this center to
talk democracy"
We took our stand on this in Bos
ton much farther North than Wash
ington.
! Verify the Judge needs make reply
or the race will see how it is that this
Southern administration retains
colored man as Justice.

GOD GIVE US MEN.

God give men! A time like this demands
Strong minds great hearts, true faith and ready hands,
Men whom the lust of Office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and WILL
Men who have honor-men who will not lie;
Men who stand before a demagogue
And damn his treacherous batteries without winlng!
Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.

FUEL SAVING IS
URGED BY CHIEF
STATE SCHOOLS
Proclamation Issued by 9upt r. n
Wilson; Points out How Subject
May be Studied to Best
Advantage.

Urging that the schools of the
state teach the necessity of fuel
conservation and pointing out how
an interesting study of this subject
can be made, r. III. Wilson, state
superintendent Of schools has issued
q proclamation to the school people
of Oklahoma. The increased price
and the extravagant use of fuel are
touched upon in the proclamation
which follows:
Because OF the shortage of gas
and the difficulties in producing and
transporting coal, together with the
great increased price of fuel Of all
kinds, | hereby call attention OF
the teachers throughout the country
to tho importance of emphasizing be-
fore the schools the conservation of
fuel. This is one item among our nee
essities which has been given but
very little thought. The price OF
coal is now four times as high as it
was twenty years ago. Gas is four
times as high as it was ten years
ago.
ut will be admitted by everyone
that we have been extravagant in
the usage of our fuel trust that
every teacher in the state of Okla
iona will agree with me that the
schools can do much to combat this
particular line of extravaganza, and
suggest as plan that you make
a special study of the different
classes of fuel and which fuel can
be used with least expense to the
people of your immediate comnlun.
ty. These problems can be used in
geography, arithmetic, and essays
may be written by the classes in
language. l suggest that the teach
ers impart this information to the
pupils in order that such information
may be carried into the home A
study OF this subject will go a long
ways toward helping and strength
ening the economic conditions in the
future"
