The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1921-06-25

According to the memorial filed by
the Haitian commission now in the
United States, nearly 10000 inhab-
itants of that unhappy isle have been
ruthlessly slaughtered by the marines
since the American occupation in
1915.
Now missionaries and courts mar
tial have been ordered for the "wel-
fare'' of those not as yet converted
into corpses. The rule of the navy
has evidently been drastic, but God
save the Haitians from the activities
of the hypocrites who represent the
orthodox churches of the u. S.
The Haitians are all Catholics and
have opposed oppression to the death.
Converted to the orthodox religion of
the Protestant u. S. brand they would
lose all manhood and accept Jim
crowism without a protest. For five
years the Haitians have lost their
lives only; now a subtle attempt is
being made to take that which is
greater than life-MANHOOD

A QUESTION OF STATUS.

The Monitor, of Omaha, prints un-
der the above heading, am editorial
which is so logical and conclusive
that we publish it in full:
'sWell meaning people cannot I'M
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 ac-
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?"
