the islanders are wholly opposed to
any suggestion that the islands he

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
'fwhite" 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,''
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 to
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 crowd
who were willing to endure condi.
lions in Alabama without protest;
and I am now living in Iowa as a
man, in all that word implies. Eight
other members of my family and
twenty other families from my
neighborhood have done las T have
done and have settled the problem
so far as they themselves are con.
cerned, and we have not forgotten
our brethren we left behind as we
all give about a. tenth of our incomes
to aid them in various ways"
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.
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.

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
obliged 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
proper 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 a 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.

AUGUSTIANS BURN DEAD BODY

AUGUSTIANS BURN DEAD BODY.
A long editorial in the Augusta
Georgia, Chronicle, recently extolled
Augusta, Ca, as an ideal city, where
by a system of segregation the racial
relations are as near perfect as in
any place. The ''negro'' knew his
place and never dreamed of social
equality" and consequently was re,
spected by the whites. No lynching
had occurred in many years. Gynch-
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

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. 1t 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 OF hesis4not. 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?"

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 oppressor, 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.

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 in peace, but not in
the kitchen. We intend to eat at the
table with all the other groups of
Americans"
That sounds we'll and we are clad
that DR.. Proctor talks that way. and
we hope he will get to work in At.
lanta and see that seat is provided
at the main table in the main dining
room for the colored man. Atlanta
is a good place to make start, as
just now all the eating that the col
ored brother is doing there, is in the

proceeds down the platform to the
ji1ncrow car; it's against the law to
sell a negro a sleeping-car ticket
in Georgia, SO the colored traveller
passes a restless night in the jim
crow section Of a day coach. In the
morning he is tired, worn and hun

fast, the announcement is made,

then, can he eat unless he has been
thoughtful enough to bring a "sam-
handwich" in his <poeket. If DR..
Proctor entered the smallest, dirtiest
white restaurant in Atlanta and ask
ed for cup of coffee he would be
asked if he chad anything to carry
it in?"

STEPPING OVER THE LINE.

The recent revelation of the census
that the increase of 6.5 per cent ir
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 "colored'' in the U. S., anc
why is it necessary?
There are millions of so-callec
white" people in whose veins runs
Afric's warm blood, and yet they are
unaware of it's presence. The edito]
is personally acquainted with hun
dreds who are known as "white,
but who have percentage of Negro
blood in their veins, and whose chill
dren have not the remotest idea thai
they are "colored." And if the edi
tor knows so many there must b,
many known to others, but unknow,
to the writer.
! During the last decade, because O:
the increase in race prejudice, thou
