"a QUESTION OF. STATUS.

The Monitor of Omaha, prints I'M
der the above heading, an editorial
which is so logical and conclusive
that we publish it in full:
well meaning people cannot un-
derstand why the American Of color
objects to being set apart by him
self. They seem to think that he is
not satisfied with his own people
and is therefore trying to force him
self into places and among people
who do not want him. This is to
miss the whole point. It is simply a
question of status. He objects to be-
ing singled out and set apart and
denied privileges inherent in Amer
lean citizenship because he knows
that such procedure gives him a sta.
tus of inferiority, which no self
respecting American citizen can &C.
cept. He is either an American citi.
zen or he is not. The Constitution OF
the United States considers him an
American citizen, American practice
in the denial of civil rights denies
him this status. Which is right, the
Constitution which guarantees full
rights of citizenship, or custom which
denies them?"

The white" people who imagine
that they have succeeded in barring
all persons with Negro blood are
greatly mistaken. There are few
communities in the United States in
which there are not people of mixed
blood taking part in all Industrial,
professional, civic and social activi-
ties. ..s
The census plan of designating all
persons with even the smallest per-
centage of Negro blood as negroes
is basically wrong and is done in no
other country. Really segregation is
just as much out of place in the
census as it is in anything else in a
democracy. All persons born in the
United States, no matter what their
race or color, should be classed as
Americans. &c.,. g..

The Atlanta Constitution of Tues

advertisement signed by William J.
Simmons which ends with these
words: "The Ku Klux Khan will

be, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND
THE HOME OF THE BRAVE, where

The speeches at the dedication and
the advertisement do not harmonic,
but it is possible that Col. Simmons
does not consider that a matter of
great Importance or perhaps there is
a joker in the statement.

STEPPING OVER THE LINE.

The recent revelation of the census
that the increase of 6.5 per cent in
the negro" population of the coun.
try during the last decade was the
lowest on record has been accounted
for in many ways, but there is still
another explanation.
There are a lot of inaccuracies in
all United States Census reports
The enumeration of the "negro" pop
ulation is based on a false premise,
and it follows that the figures are
untrustworthy.
The mixing of the races has been
going on for 800 years and still con-
tinues in spite Of law and public
opinion. In many cases it is impos-
sible to decide who is "white'' and
who is 'tcolored'' in the u. S., and
why is it necessary?
There are millions of so-called
white" people in whose veins runs
Afric's warm blood, and yet they are
unaware Of it's presence. The editor
is personally acquainted with hum
dreds who are known as "white,' y
but who have a percentage of Negro
blood in their veins, and whose chill
dren have not the remotest idea that
they are ''colored." And if the edi-
tor knows so many there must be
many known to others, but unknown
to the writer. ..~
During the last decade, because of
the increase in race prejudice, thou
sands of ''colored" people who. would
really have preferred to have been
s'colored' if they could have enjoyed
the rights of American citizenship
and economic opportunity have sim
ply stepped over the color line and
become white" This is not so diff
ficult. Every 'colored'' person is
aware of this fact, and if any
''white' reader doubts it, just ask
any ''colored" person if the state
ment is true. ".#
Recently the editor met a man
once "colored' who is now white, y
and in conversation, he said: II
realized that there was no hope of a
future for my children in Alabama
not only because of the attitude of
the white people but because Negroes
were preaching that we ought not tc
try to vote or do anything else that
the white people objected to. So
withdrew the money I had in the
bank, disposed of my interests and
cut loose from the jim-crow Grove

LET'S CLEAN u. S, A, FIRST.

In a recent speech in New Hamp-
shire, President Harding declared that
the God-given destiny of America is
to reform the world
A great deal of such talk was in
dulged in by former President Will
son, who suggested reformation for
the world, but failed to do many
things which were needed at home.
THE APPEAL suggests to Mr..
Harding that there is work enough at
home. The United States is not the
sproper leader for any kind of a re-
form movement as there are too
many skeletons in her closet. -
When the u. S. A.. has eliminated
lynching, race riots, disfranchise-
ment, segregation and discrimination
for large group Of it's citizens so
that all Americans, colored and white,
rich and poor, Gentle and Jew, can
enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, then and not until then
will this country be in a position to
"clean up" other lands. .@ s..

AFTER FORTY YEARS.

AFTER FORTY YEARS.
For forty years the editor of THE
APPEAL has battled with pen and
tongue against the rising tide of race
prejudice, discrimination, injustice and
mob-murder.
He has seen state governments and
national administrations quail and
tremble before the onrushing waves
of hellish hate.
The so-called Christian church has
stood still and dumb before the bru-
talities of a Goddess land.
Many contemporaries have given up
the fight for justice and equality, but
many yet live who will never yield to
the oppressors and SO long as there
are even a dozen determined souls
who have sworn to do or die, the
fight will not. be in vain.
The way is dark and the work is
made difficult by the foe within, but
victory will come. It can, not be
that the present Infamous conditions
will continue forever. Our children
and our children's children will reap
the benefits of our labors of today
We are still unafraid., We will con.
tinue the fight r. A.

DR.. PROCTOR AND HIS BACON.

DR.. H. H. Proctor, pastor Of a con-
gregational church in Atlanta, Ca,
was at the congregational meet in
California recently, and in an address
finished with this peroration: eve
(the colored people, have brought
home the bacon, and we are going to
fry it and eat it III peace, but not in
the kitchen. We intend to eat at the
table with all the other groups of
Americans"
That sounds well and we are glad
that DR.. Proctor talks that way, and
we hope he will get to work in At
lanta and see that a seat is provided
at the main table in the main dining
room for the colored man. Atlanta
is a good place to make a start, as
just now all the eating that the COL
ored brother is doing there, is in the
kitchen. At the union station in At
lanta a colored person may not go
to train through the main entrance,
but enters under a sign "For Negroes
about half way down the alley at the
side of the building. If he needs a
lunch he certainly must iget it at the
NEGRO Lunch Counter" Then he
proceeds down the platform to the
jimcrow car; it's against the law to
sell a NEGRO" sleeping ticket
in Georgia, SO the colored traveller
passes a restless night in the jim
crow section of day coach. In the
morning he is tired, worn and hun
cry, but cannot eat until the "white
folks" have been served After the
first, second and third calls for break
fast, the announcement is made,
negroes are now being served in the
dining car" and then, and not until
then, can he eat unless he has been
thoughtful enough to bring "sam-
handwich'' in his pocket. If DR..
Proctor entered the smallest, dirtiest
white restaurant ,in Atlanta and ask
ed for a cup of coffee he would be
asked if he chad anything to carry
it in?"
If any dark colored person thinks
the language Of THE APPEAL is
overdrawn, just step down to Atlanta
and see, or if the distance is too
great and the cash too low, just drop

matter. =. ...

r. r. MEMS GOOD WORK,

1t may not be generally known, but
colored men in railroad work are do
ing. their share to win for them
selves just treatment in the indus
trial field. A short time ago a few
men fonmed what is now known as
the Sleeping and Dining Car En-
ployees' Union, Local SAB. Today this
union is the 35th in the list of those
in the state of Minnesota affiliated
with the State Federation of Labor,
The Hotel and Restaurant Employees
International Alliance, The Bartend-
ers' International League of America
and the American Federation of Labor.
At the thirty-eighth annual conven-
ton Of the State Federation of Labor
held in Rochester, Mimi, the repre-
sentatives of this organizations, MIR. w
R. Donovan and Mr.: George C. Shan
non, introduced three resolutions
namely: The enforcement of the g.
hour law, known as the Adamson law
the utilization and co-equal treatment
Of colored people in organized unior
labor and the making of lynching AND
burning of human beings a Fedora
offense. The measures received the
unanimous assent Of organized labor
and that these pledges are being re-
deemed.
At the thirty ninth annual conyen
ton of the same body, the repre-
sentatives from this union introduced
a resolution calling upon organized
labor in the state to pledge itself tt
give assistance to the colored rail
road workers in their fight for 3
standard wage independent of gratui
ties, as this form Of compensation is
not only Inadequate, but has become
obnoxious to booth giver and receiver
We are pleased to note that the
pledge was not only given, but the
resolutions committee also requested
the executive council to institute
ways and means to bring about the
desired result A representative will
be sent from this union to the Inter
national converting at Cleveland, Ohio
this month to press the matter and
if necessary it will be brought to the
attention Of the Secretary of Labor
and to the Congress Of the United
States.
The time has come when every man
must put his shoulder to the wheel.

the benefits brought about by the
self sacrifiec.of the underpaid brother;
without doing his part. All should
help. The Organization is fortunate

And Put Whites in Control in RepubIi-
can Party in Georgia..

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 10.-The colored
man has been practically put out
of business as a factor in Georgia
Republican politics.
A new state central Republican
committee which will direct Repub-
ican affairs in Georgia, with the Of
fetal recognition of the Harding ad-
ministration was elected at a meet
ing held Tuesday at the auditorium
by a selected committee composed of
Republican leaders from all sections
of the state. E<..s-
The meeting, called by the Nation
al Republican committee, for the
purpose of recognizing 1.-THE party
in Georgia on the basis of white con-
troll and for the purpose Of har-
monizing factional differences, was
marked by almost complete unani-
nifty action. Only at one period did
it appear that there might be an
effort to disrupt the program, and
this tendency was quickly cured.
1t was evident from the verv open
ing of the meeting that the plan Of
action had been carefully worked out.
The new. state central committee
consists of 46' members, including the
three officers, who are j. L. Phillips,
Of Thomasville, chairman; Walter Il.
Johnson, of Columbus, vice chairman,
and Charles Adamson, Of Cedartown,
treasurer.
Thirty-six of the forty-six mem
bers are white and ten colored, al
though 80 per cent of the Georgia
Republicans are colored. The plan to
put the machinery Of the organization
under white control as ordered by
President Harding has been carried
out to the letter. Henry Lincoln
Johnson, Georgia member of the Re-
publican National Committee, will re-
main in his seat, as he was elected
by the Republican National conven.
| ton, and this new committee did not
have the power to GUST him. How.
ever, he is just fgure-head and has
no power whatever The entire plar
was worked out by Clarence B. Miller
of Minnesota, Secretary Of the Re.
publican National Committee, who
acted as chairman Of the meeting.
