GOWN YOUR HOME"
Is Good Advice No Matter From
d. Whence 1t Comes.
Be is ever so humble,

Be is ever so humble,
There is no place like home.
Home, Home, Sweet, Sweet Home.
The people of the Twin Cities

but remember the splendid picture
editions of THE APPEAL, issued in
the years 1910, 1911, 1913, containing
scores of cuts of the homes of the
people OF. St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Those papers were revelations to
everyone that saw them; and, they
doubtless planted the ideas into the
heads Of many whose homes were not
shown in them to get homes who are
the happy possessors of them.
THE APPEAL is planning to issue
special ''Own Your Home" edition
in the month OF. May, and if pur-
chasers of homes since those dates
desire to publish cuts of their homes
in the forthcoming edition, they will
please get into communication with

materials, money loaners and others
who are absolutely essential if you
desire to own your home.
The time is near at hand, and if
oyu really desire to Own Your Home,
get busy NOW.

GRACE PURITY"

The Louisiana constitutional con-
vention now in session at Baton Rouge
had little tussle over trace puri-
ty" ordinance few days ago. 49,.
It read: ''The legislature shall en-
act necessary legislation to guard and
preserve race purity"
The women defeated the PROPOSE
ton by a large vote. The principal
reason given by the female opposi-
ton was that it would be bad ad-
vertisement for the state and make
it appear to non-residents that it
was troublesome question and that
it was difficult to prevent white
women from marrying black men.
There may have been other reasons
which the ladies did not care to
divulge-perhaps some of them were
colored and knew it.
Louisiana is state in which there
faint no SIGH animal" as race purity.
Those who are familiar with the
facts says that probably threefourths
Of the native born so-called white
people have more or less Negro blood
in their veins. The mixing has been
going on for more than 800 years,
and it still continues in spite of laws
to prevent it.
On the day that the ordinance was
considered by the constitutional con-
vention a blood controversy case was
being tried in one Of the courts in
New Orleans, and when the plaintiff
demanded a "blood test" the sage
judge suggested that it would "be
better to submit the matter to the
ouija board

CARRAWAYS LITTLE JOKE,

One Carraway, a Democratic Unit
ed States Senator from Arkansas, one
of the states in the Southern murder
tier, unconsciously perpetrated a lit
tie joke when he introduced bill to
prohibit, enlistment Of colored men
in the army or navy.
Of course Carraway did not mean
TO be funny he put the bill in to
please the red necks of "Rackensack.' -
He knows it can not pass. But the
joke is there just the same, because
colored Americans are already barred
from both army mad navy except on
a jimcrow basis.
Although resident of one of the
states, a colored man can not enter
the militia of that state on the same
basis as other citizens. He must get
into segregated unit and then into
the U. S. army through the jimcrow
division of the Federalized National
Guard. If he wishes to enter the
regular army he must go into a seq
regated regiment.
If young colored man happens to
read one of the lying advertisements
published by the navy, calling atten-
ton to the enlistment ito travel and
see the world" or honorable ad-
vancement," or "chance for a great
career" and with loyalty and pa
triotism in his breast he endeavors
to enlist, he is informed by the not
invariably polite enlistment officer
that his only chance is as mess at
tendant, which translated means a
servant.
This is the way loyal colored citi-
zens are treated by a lying nation
which boasts of it's democracy, hu.
; mainly and Christianity.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1921-05-21
THE JIMCROW ARMY.

Even under present conditions, the
United States Army, so far as it re-
lates to the colored people, is a jim
crow affair. Colored men are COM
PEELED to enlist in the four ,"colored"
regiments - two infantry and two
cavalry-in the regular army.
What this segregation meant was
shown during the world war when
colored men were rushed through the
country in jimcrow cars, trained in
jimcrow camps, all the while being
subjected to indignities and insults.
This treatment reached it's acme when
they were in France, even on the
firing line. Their treatment forms
one of the blacklist pages in the his
tory of that famous conflict to make
the world safe for democracy"
1t is now said that the War De-
partment intends to further jimcrow-
izc it's valiant colored soldiers and
humiliate and degrade it's citizenry
by taking the colored regiments of
New York, Illinois, Massachusetts and
put them into separate division of
the Federalized National Guard.
1t this is true, it will be the worst
blow ever aimed at the rights of col
ored citizens, because it takes colored
men out of their proper places as
citizens of their respective states and
which does not apply to other groups
Of Americans, such as Germans, Irish,
Russians, Poles, Greeks, Lithuanians,
Serbians, Scotch, Italians, Austrians,
French, Spanish, etc. and not even to
Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Indians,
F'ilipinos, South Sea Islanders and
other colored races 1t would be an
insult to the loyalty and patriotism
Of the colored people,
The colored people of the United
States ought to protest through the
n. A. A. G. P, the National Equal
Rights League, the National Race
Congress and every other organiza-
ton which stands for justice, and
every Individual ought to make pro.
test to the President, the Secretary
Of War and to his Senator and Con.
gresham, to prevent, if possible, the
contamination Of this wrong.

The dispatches say the Igorrotes
told the Wood-Forbes mission, now
in the Philippines, that they did not
care for freedom, but preferred U.
S. rule. The Igorrotes are dog-eaters
and a doggone dirty ignorant lot.
The intelligent Filipinos desire the
freedom and independence which the
United States promised them. Here
in the u. S. there is a class of color
ed men who eat chicken instead of
dog, but are lower than the dog
eaters because they cringe and fawn
and say they do not wish their rights.

A religious paper published in
London "deplores the visit of Crown
Prince Hirohito of Japan, because of
its harmful effects on u. S. opinion
and because of the Japanese hatred
of our religion" Can you beat that?
Certainly there is no reason why the
Japanese should love Christianity
The colored people of the U. S. have
accepted Christianity, but Caucasian
Christianity has done far more to de.
grade them than to uplift the race

BOY OF 6 ALIVE.
IN A SAND PIT

Evidently the alert city editor did
not wish to overlook a chance to fol-
low the fixed policy of the Tribune
of making colored people odious in
the eyes of their fellow citizens, for
when the final edition, which is de-
livered Sunday morning at the homes
of the majority of the inhabitants of
the city, appeared, the first line had
been changed to read: ~
NEGROES KILL
If the alleged murders had been
committed by Jews, Germans or Irish
they would not have stressed the
fact or race, nationality or religion
in the headlines thus arousing race
hatred. ...-
