RAIN INSURANCE PRosPERs.

HARTFORD. Conn, December 16.-
Insurance business running into thou
sands of dollars has been done in
connection with base ball games and
other outdoor sports during the past
season, it having become not unusual
to insure these games against loss in
attendance on account OF rain. Rain
insurance has not only been taken
out for some of the large base ball
and foot ball games. but for several
of the so-called small town games:
and insurance men believe this may
become sizable business, growing
out of sport, and help put some of the
outdoor sports on d business basis.

HONOR SHOULD BE GIVEN
.-. WHERE 1T is DUE,

Among several things of recent oc-
currences, none is more gratifying
than the recognition of merit that
was accorded to Charles Gilpin, the
actor, by the. Drama League, March 5,
when he was one of seven guests of
honor present at the annual dinner of
that organization at Hotel McAlpin,
in New York City; which 600 of it's
5000 members attended,; thus en-
phasizing the idea that art knows no
color line. This is just as it should
be, not alone in art but in every line
Of human endeavor. There should be
no place among men which would be
denied to a man solely on account of
color. And there is no country ex-
cept the United States where merit
is not given its just due without re-
gard to color. When the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birthday of
Alexander Dumas arrived, France de-
clared it a national holiday in honor
of her distinguished son. Because of
some controversy among some Of the
color prejudiced members of the
Drama League as to inviting Gilpin,
some jim crow colored people advised
him not to go; but his better judg-
ment prevailed and he went, and he
was the STAR of the occasion.

There is need for greater concen-
tration of our efforts, instead of
diffusing them through separate
agencies, sometimes working at cross
purposes. The National Republican
party in it's platform pronounced it.
self in favor of proper action by
Congress to remedy the lynching evil.
The question of disfranchisement was
threshed out by the sokesmen of the
Advancement Association before the
Committee on the Census. President
Harding has declared his belief that
the colored citizens of America should
be guaranteed the enjoyment of all
their rights, including the full meas
ure of citizenship earned by them
What the object is in appealing for
"a small pittance that will hurt no
one" is hard to conjecture. The ap-
peal is undignified and unconvincing,
and should be ignored.
The foregoing is from the New
York Age, and THE APPEAL agrees
that if anything is to be done it
ought to be done by organizations
which represent large followings all
over the country and not by one
Southern man who by reason of his
residence and also by the fact that
he represents only one man could not
make the fight so we'll and could not
possibly accomplish somuch as strong
organizations. y
THE APPEAL further believes that
Haiti and Africa and everything else
foreign should be cut out and all
forces concentrated on justice for
Americans. >a.F .

"FOR SMALL CONTRIBUTION

A curious appeal has been sent out
in the form of a circular from the
Headquarters for Legislative Relief,
1916 Pennsylvania Ave. NJ W., WASH
ington, D. c." and signed with the
name of P. M. Howard. This ap-
pears to be intended for lodges,
churches, schools and individuals, who
are asked to send a small contribu-
ton. to provide sufficient funds to
carry on the fight to secure legisla-
ton from the new Congress on the
subjects vital to colored people, such
as lynching, mob violence, disfran-
chisement, the Ku Klux Khan, etc. 1t
reads in part as follows:
"For some time Col. Henry Lincoln
Johnson, Georgia member of the Re-,
publican National Committee, the
only colored Republican National
Committeeman, and one of the most
fearless and able champion of our
; race at the Nations Capital, is al
ready here On the scene and has been
lining up his forces for great drive
on the new administration, to the
end that remedial and effective legis-
lation will be passed as promptly as
possible. k. -.-.0.- 4
''This great man has given the best
of his time, his service, his energy,
as we'll as his means, in the unselfsh
service of our cause, and it certainly
i'll becomes us to- allow him to con-
tinue to draw upon what may be
considered his poverty for further
effort in this direction. 4
"a small contribution from each
Lodge, Church, School, Organization
or Individual would go long dis
lance toward providing sufficient
means to carry forward this fight
which is proving expensive and pro-
tracted. ...
eve are, therefore, going to ask
that you take up an after-collectio
in your church or special collection
in your lodge, school, or other organ
ization, (as the case may beg, after
preaching on, or discussing the race
question, and send the same to me
here at 1916 Pennsylvania Ave. N. W.,
Washington, D. C.
.r ''This fund will be properly ac-
counted for and we shall make it go,
as far as possible in this great move
ment A small pittance will hurt no
one but will add greatly to this effort"
We had not heard anything Of the
activities of this movement for era
cial Legislative Relief" previous to
the sight of this circular and had
supposed that the organized effort in
that direction was amply represented
through the National Association for
teh Advancement Of Colored People,
teh National Equal Rights League
and similar organizations. Whether
there is necessity to retain Col.
Henry Lincoln Johnson in the guise
of Racial Legislative Relief, :" to fur.
