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

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-

the United States considers him an

in the denial of civil rights denies
him this status. Which is right, the

denies them?" %.@

AUGUsTIANs BURN DEAD BODY,

A long editorial in the Augusta
Georgia, Chronicle, recently extolled
Augusta, Ga, as an ideal city, where
by system of segregation the racial
relations are as near perfect as in
any place. The negro knew his
place and never dreamed of "socia]
equality" and consequently was re-
spected by the whites. No lynching
had occurred in many years. (Lynch-
ings seldom occur in large cities
owing to better police protection
than in rural districts.) -
But when the showdown came it
was found that Augustans were not
superior to other Georgians and had
the same primitive blood lust found
in other localities. A crazy colored
man ran amuck, killing two and
wounding eight before he himself was
slain. He died in a hospital at mid
night and just before dawn the place
was surrounded by a mob which took
the dead body, carried it to the
country and burned it to a crisp.
The charred body was then taken
back to the hospital. =.

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: owe

fry it and eat it in peace, but not in

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

SOUTHERN "FoRWARD" BUNK.

Recently there was a laymen's con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, held at Lake Juna-
laska, N. c., and one Rev. w. w.
Alexander of Atlanta, Ca, took the
stage and said:
"The next big forward step in the
inter-racial readjustnnent is to come
from the South, and the reason for it
is perfectly apparent. The South can
afford to do it. Then too the South
has the social prestige to do this.
The social question figures largely in
the race question. So the South can,
when it will take the leadership in
inter-racial cooperation. I believe
that the South will assume the leader
ship with the same sort of pride and
determination as it led the nation.
It has been the universal opinion of
those who have come in close touch
with the question that Negro leaders
do not desire or seek social equality
They have asked for police protec-
ton, better housing and living con-
ditions and a chance to develop into
useful American citizens with every
determination to maintain their own
social life and the purity Of the two
racial stocks"

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. - ##
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

race or color, should be classed as

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 rbru-
talities of Goddess land.
Many contemporaries have given UP
the fight for justice and equality, but
many yet live who will never yield to
the oppressor,. and so long as there
are even a e.. 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. ~. @-

STEPPING OVER THEIINE.

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 false premise,
and it follows that the figures are
untrustworthy. ~"
The mixing of the races has been
going on for 300 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 "colored'' in the U. S., and
why is it necessary?
There are millions of so-caled
''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,'
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
"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 'scolored" person if the state
| ment is true. ~.
Recently the |editor met man
once "colored" who is now white
! and in conversation, he said: q
realized that there was no hope of 3
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 t
try to vote or do anything else that
the white people objected to- So I
