WILL PROBE JEW BAN,

The American Federation of Labor
convention adopted resolution
favoring an investigation "of the
alleged discriminatory action which
is said to be contemplated by Har-
ward college" to bar admission of
Jews as students.
The resolution declared the fedora
tons disaproval Of "any departure
from true liberal tradition" and con-
den1ned as "un-American any policy
which may deny to any racial or re-
igious groups equal opportunities for
education.''
The resolution specified the fedora
tion should cause the investigation to
be made and that the officers, if they
found that ban were to be placed
on the Hebrews, should take "such
action as they deem feasible to re-
move the discrimination contemplated
and to assure equal opportunities to
all, regardless of race and religious
affiliation."
It will be noticed that the resolu-
tion declares as un-American any dis
elimination against any racial group.
1t is well.

u. S. HEMAlNS IN HAITI.

The senate has passed the naval ap-
preparation bill. An amendment by
Senator King Of Utah, Democrat, pro-
viding for withdrawal of American
marines from the two republics and
Nicaragua, Dec. 81 next, was rejected,
AZ to 9, after nearly all day debate
in which the American policy of in
tervention was both attacked and de-
Tended.
Controversy on the Haitian and Do
minican intervention policy divided
both parties. Five Republicans, SEN
ators Borah Qdaho), Johnson (Calif. },
Ladd IN. d., La Toilette wis.,, and
Norris (Neb.), opposed Senator
Kings withdrawal amendment, and
four Democrats, Senators King, Over

A GOOD. SUGGESTION.

Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas
suggests that Secretary of War
Weeks should resign. .>-
"If a member. of the President s
cabinet holds the views Secretary
Weeks says he holda,. whether as a
private citizen or public official, he
should resign Immediately as an Off
cial of the government, for he has
shown himself to be so wholly out of
sympathy with what he has sworn as
an official to maintain and uphold that
he'i in no frame Of mind to uphold
it." -...- .v
And the colored people know that
Weeks has jimcrowized the national
guard and the training camps, de-
grading colored men to segregated
status below other Americans.

ILLINOIS NEW CONSTITUTION,

After being in session for nearly
two years the Illinois constitutional
convention has completed the draft of
the proposed new constitution for
the state of Illinois. Two colored
men were members of the convention
and took prominent parts in the work
of the same-Edward H. Morris, the
great Chicago lawyer, who was a
member of the committee which
drafted the bill of rights, and sue
ceeded in having placed therein the
following: Section 10. Laws shall
be applicable alike to all citizens
without regard to race or color.
Bishop A. J. Carey, the other COL
ored member, was instrumental in
having engrafted the provision that
the reading of the Bible without COM
ment shall not be held to be in con-
fict with the constitution.
The draft of the new basic law was
adopted by unanimous vote and
will be submitted to the voters of
Illinois at a special election on De-
cember II, 1922.

C0L0RED CITIZENS
AGAINST
BUREAU.

A committee composed of repre-
sentative colored citizens of St. Paul,
appeared before the state of Minne
sofa Industrial Commission on
Wednesday morning, June % last, for
the purpose Of Investigating and en-
terlng protest against a certain
proposed separate and distinct COL
ored employment Office operating un-
der the Minnesota State Industrial
Commission. The committee soon
found from the conference that the
commission did have under consider
alton such a project and that such
an office was to be located in the
Rondoo street district and that it was
acting upon the advice received from
a group OF colored men who had from
time to, time appeared before the
commission strongly urging such
course. The committee at once en-
tered a strong portest to the COM
mission against such course on the
ground that the state of Minnesota
through its delegated powers would
be setting up a jin1-crow institution
backed and financed by the state
which would tend to open the doors
to all the evils which accompanies
Jllm-crowism and segregation under
the authority of state government.
The committee found the members of
the commission with open mind, ac
tuated only by sincere and honest
desire to work out some plan with
our people in behalf of our own un-
employed and did not look upon such
a plan as an instrument of jim
crowism until the committee had
called to it's attention the evils of
such course. The committee
strong ly recommended that if a Ne
gro with the proper training and ex-
perlence were attached to the gen
eral office of the commission would
be able to amply care for the situa-
tlon without the odium of jim
The committee was composed of
F. D. McCracken, Atty. Hammond
Turner, Walter Chestnut, DIR. L. Ray
mond Hill, S. E. Hall, j. @. Adams,
Atty. j. Lewis Erwin. The commit
tee was presented by Hon. John I.
levin, representative of the 42d dis
trict who made a strong plea against
any such action. Each member of
the. committee expressed sentiments
against the proposed jim-crow move
ment. "

STILL THE OLD SOUTH.

The thirty-second annual reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans
which met in Richmond, Va, adopted
a report submitted by the historical
committee declaring the Civil War
was deliberately and personally con-
ceived" by Abraham Lincoln, and
that he was "personally responsible
for forcing the war upon the South" "
The assertion was made in connec-
tion with recommendation that
Southern schools use history of the
war period written by Col Huger w.
Jackson of Curryville, Ca, which,
the committee said, "proved the truth
Of it's declaration regarding Lincoln's
responsibility in the war"
Asserting that the states of Mis-
sissippi, Texas, the Carolinas and
Louisiana were now using histories
"fair to the South" the report de-
clared that "the young children of
the South will now be taught that the
South was right, eternally and ever
lastingly right, in fighting for prin-
ciples upon which our glorious coun-
try was founded.

} JEWS TO PROTEST.

A nationwide protest against the
anti-Semitic policies Of Harvard
University, and the treatment ac-
corded Leonard Kaplan in the Lucky
Bag, the United States Naval Acad-
emy publication, will be made by the
Jewish population generally, Louis
Friedman of Brooklyn has announced
Organizations already are being
formed, he said, to seek legislative
protection against what he described
as the rising tide Of racial antag-
onism. II the Jews, with all their
wealth find it necessary to protest
against racial determinations, it is
doubly necessary for the colored, with
little wealth, to fight against racial
wrongs.

CHALLENGED CIVILIZATION.

In commencement address at
Northwestern University, Chicago,
Chase S. Osborn, former governor of
Michigan, said: "The white race has
seized three-fourths Of the area of
the earth and placed thirds of it's
population in tributary slavery, he
declared, and predicted that unless
Americans learn the way of life and
human justice this country will follow
the descent of Babylon and Greece
and Rome.
In challenging present day civiliza-
tion, Mr.. Osborn said: "The Genoa
parley, the arms parley at Washing
ton, the council of Versailles ARE as
those Of yesterday, met in distrust
and not ip contrition; for safety first,
rather than for right, justice, and
humanity first"

kLAN UNDER MASONIC BAN.
North Dakota Grand Lodge Issues
Ultimatum to Members,

Fargo, N. D., June 28.-Masons in
North Dakota may not. join the Ku
Klux Klan, according to pronounce
ment by the Grand Lodge, which met
here this week, w. L.. Stockwell,
grand secretary, announced. :
Organizers for the Klan have been
trying to effect organization in the
state for more than year, and in
many instances have directed their
efforts at members of the Masonic
order, he said, and added: =.
:. Masonry does not believe in re-
ligious or lace hatred. During the
past few months organizers have
been at work in the state. Some of
them, unfortunately, member of the
Masonic fraternity. For this reason
the Grand Lodge felt compelled to
take very definite stand with dras-
tic penalties attached Thereto"
Members Of the order who have
Joined the Klan must withdraw with
in six months under penalty of >ex-
pulsion from the Masonic fraternity

The Appeal., 1922-07-01
1T MUST NOT BE

The proposition to establish play
ground for COLORED children in ST.
Paul is un-American and THE APP
PEAL is opposed to it.
One Of the strange phases of i'm
crowism in these days in the fact that
nlne-tenth5 of the plans to degrade
the coloreo people into a pariah class
are conceived in the brains of people
who call themselves Christians. In
the majority of cases when the COL
ored man is kicked down it is done
"for his benefit" and 'in the name of
The Lord"
No doubt some Of the promoters
believe that they are doing great
thing, for the colored people of Saint
Paul but they are mistaken.
No greater evil could come to Saint
Paul, to the white people as we'll as
the colored people, than the attempt
to segregate one group of citizens.
1t is thing which will serve to in
Hame the fires of race prejudice.
1t is uncomfortable that any COL
ored people could so belittle them
selves as to be parties to so infam-
GUS scheme and it is infamous
whether it is so intended or not. We
are glad to know that the superin-
1endent OF Fairgrounds opposes the
plan.
Ihe decent self-respecting people
OF SAINT Paul must fight the nefari-
Gus scheme to finish. If YOU are p
good American you should oppose it.
1T MUST NOT BE!

A wire from Mexico states that the
Women's American Baptist. Home
Mission Society has decided to buy an
old palace in the city Of Puebla at a
cost of $4,000 and convert it into a
kindergarten and graded school. A
gentleman who has recently returned
from Puebla told THE APPEAL that
the Baptists had sustained mission
IN Puebla for twenty years and had
spent thousands of dollars, without
making a single real convert. AS in
China there are a number Of "rice
converts" that is people who pretend
that they have been converted for a
consideration. The people Of Mexico
are Catholics. Why should Baptists
spend money trying to. induce them

Roya|Visit0rSp Speaking at Zion
Presbyterian Church.

Ramsey county's divorces granted
during the past year will total about
625, according to District Judge G.
NJ. Orr; Ethiopia, with its $4,000, 900
inhabitants, has had only two di-
vorces in the past 105 years, accord
ing to DR.. w. S. j. Challoughlezil-
czise, pastor of the Coptic church Of
East Africa and prince of the royal
house of Ethiopia, who spoke on the
social and religious customs of his
country. at the Zion Presbyterian
church, Harrington and St. Anthony
avenues, Wednesday, night.
You say we are wild in our coun-
try, said he. "Then we will call
you tame. But we wild people do
our courting differently from you.
When the young man of Ethiopia
courts he pays three visits to the girl
OF his choice. The first time he sits
next to the father, who sits next to
the mother, who. sits next to the
daughter. His stay is limited to an
hour and half. The second visit
the arrangement is the same. The
third time he comes he takes his
wife away with him.
Clip Flappers' Wings.
The prince, who was dressed in a
long black velvet robe with flowing
sleeves and cap of. the same mate
rlal,. said that the natives of his coun-
try were strong believers in pre-
natal and hereditary influences. He
said he was interviewed in an Ameri-
can city as to whether or not flap
pers, vamps and cake eaters were
known in. Ethiopia.
when girls reach the stage of flap
perdom and desire to flap their wings
we clip them," he said. "I have
learned that the fapper is nothing
more or less than the twentieth CEN
tury woman over here. In our coun-
try we substitute the cottage course
for the college course if our young
women desire it,"
The speaker said that Ethiopian
boys were boys until they were 26
years old and girls did not reach le-
gal age until their twenty-third birth
day. 49,.
Believe in Zodiac Signs.
His people, he said, believed in the
signs of the Zodiac and that the lives
OF their children were affected by the
signs they were born under.
".Archaeologically," said he, 1--WE are
inclined to be superstitious."
The Coptic church, maintained the
prince, is ane of the oldest religions
in the world, dating more. than 1000
years before the coming of Christ.
The country of Ethiopia, he said, was
named before the book of Genesis
was written. The doctor said his
country was not troubled with pro-
hlblltlon problems, as whisky, rum
and opium had always been unknown
there
. The prince has been in the city all
the week stopping at The Henrietta
and has spoken at St. James A. M.
b., Pilgrim, Baptist, St. Philips and
at Zion Presbyterian churches. He is
a remarkable man. and all who have
heard him are delighted with him.

It is no trouble at all for Rev.
Oliver kene, pastor of the Methodist
church Of Kearney, Neb., to stand up
and testify to the value Of church ad-
vertlsmenJs in newspapers. Re-
Gently he said: 19BY advertising in
the local papers I have quadrupled
the membership Of my church in four
years. Christ said: Go out and
compel them to come in.' What is
more compelling. than advertising in
the modern way / often inserted a
quarter page or half page ad in the
home town papers. The expense was
met by the collection box, and the
more people the advertising draws to
church the larger the collection. So
the ads paid for themselves in actual
money. 35.5 &
