SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1904. GRAVES' EFFRONTERY. John Temple Graves of Atlanta, Ga comes to the front with an open let ter which, from a psychological standpoint, is a curiosity. The mar vellous thing about this mess of idi fj is the effrontery with which it affirm-, propositions which thousands ot Ii-ving and creditable witnesses know to be absolutely and* entirely false, having not the remotest resem b'ance to the facts in the case. For instance, he says: In the cities women dare not walk fie stieets at twilight, nor ride in the iburbs at midday In the above, there is not a single word of truthwomen walk the streets of Atlanta. Charleston, Mobile PIKI New Orleans, unescorted, as safe- 1, as they do those of Boston, Phila delphia or Chicago, and ride the out fi.le highways with equal safety and f-^T'lessress. More-ier, Graves utterly ignores the fact that it has been proven to a, demonstration that the crime against DOES RACE PREJUDICE PAY? The Atlanta Constitution has an article on "Immigration Problems," which incidentally shows the econom ic result of the race-prejudice so rampant all over this country. Th result is that the whole country, Cali fornia as well as Georgia, is suffering and losing vast sums of money on ac count of the scarcity of farm labor. The Constitution states the case in Georgia, as follows large per cent of the arable lands of the southern states ar withdrawn ti am production or half cultivated, be cause the Negro is ceasing to be a farm laborer or, at least, a dependable farm laborer, while the harvest season finds labor at an exorbitant premium. In tbp kitchen of the southern home the situation is even worse The old-time southern cook is a rara avis, and any kind of a cook is rare enough Then comes a quotation from Joa quin Miller in the Current Arena: The truth is, California demands a class of labor that is willing to get out and labor And that is what the south ern states want, what all the states want We want that and just that, be the laborer white, black or brown. THE RACE AND AMENDMENTS. "The Negro knows nothing about the amendments and cares nothing for the amendments, says Mr. Graves." "Prodigious," we reply. The amendments are subjects of con stant discussion in the three hundred Afro-American newspapers. are the basis of suits without number instituted by Afro-Americans, and- are frequently referred to by the Afro American -preachers whom Mr Graves condemns so strenuously and abhors so bitterlj. Perhaps one rea son why Mr Graves' preachments have so little effect is because he as serts so'recklessly what every intelli gent person knows to be lalse in uno and in omnibus woman is not the offense charged in human and personal relation of the one-tenth the cases of lynching that I men it employes, measures its suc- occYir. Hi disregard of truth and ig- cess merely by the' quotations of the norance of facts known to the world Antwerp rubber market are both phenomenal. It is not' entirely evident that if conditions in the South bore any re semblance of Mr. Graves' description that men could not be induced to lo cate their families, as thousands of them are doing, in the country, a mile from the nearest neighbor, anji leave them at almost any time entirely un protected. Yet such is the case all over the 'South. Th ravings of John Temple Graves are so far-fetched and preposterous as to Jead us to serious ly doubt his sanity. I assert that farmers, great and small, women, inside of cities and out side of cities, all peoples of all places, with one single exception, desire a modification, or better still, an unquali fied repeal of the restriction act and that one exception is the trade unions. Probably both Mr. Howell and Mr. Miller steadfastly believe that this is a white man's country, but they both admit that the white man cannot or will not cultivate it. And uncultivat ed lands can pay but little tax, in fact aie a burden rather than a blessing to the owner. The question then arises "Do exclusions, disfranchisements, segregations and lynchings pay? They account for the scarcity of la bor, BUT DO THEY PAY? MR. SCHURZ AND HIS RHETORIC. Every time that a national election is pending, Hon. Carl Schurz comes to the front with an elaborate dress ed dish of Rhetoric, which he offers to the people. Mr. Schurz knows that the people have .no idea as to where he will turn up upon such an occa sion, and imagines that there is gen eral and intense curiosity to find out. He presents a dainty dish fit to set before a king, so far as the Rhetoric is concerned, but the usual result is nothing. People" read it with more or less curiosity and forget it with less or more facilitygenerally, the latter. For certain reasons, no man with the talent of Mr. Schurz, has less potentiality with the masses. They have very little, if any confidence in the correctness of his judgment, or in the sincerity of what he projects into public view as his convictions. He is unco good too much so, for his own success. STANDS FOR EQUALITY OF MEN.lailroad We recommend to the special atten tion of every Afro-American voter in the United States, the following ex tract trom the speech of Hon. Wm.11,291 Moody, delivered to the Massachu setts Republican state Convention. Mr Moody being tHe Attorney-Gener* al ot the United States, the pledges implied in the extract are as authori tative as if they were the utterances of the President himself: We expect \ictory because oui lead ei through his declarations and acts, stands more clearly for the principle of the eciuality of all men before the law than any man of our time The belief in this principle is interwoven with every fibre of his being, it was boin with him and it will die only when he dies has acted steadfast ly on his belief, when the political skies were heavy as when they were cleai. in storm as well as in sunshine. He has made no political trades capitalists or with workingmen, the corporation or with the union He has not oi against any man because of his race or color, but has judged him solely by his conduct In obedience to this principle he de fied a deep race prejudice, when he de clared that a woman who had been a faithful public servant sjhould not be driven from her office by violence or tin cats because she was black. Deep ei than all other issues and more po tent than them all in influencing the future of this republife is the question whethei \o will cdndemn the man who stasis by profession and acts for tln high ideal. with with trades discriminated for Our dear friend, Hon. A. C. Latimer, has been speechifying in New England and has returned to South'Carolina, which state he represents in the Unit ed States Senate in a state of doleful dumps Th chief reason for this un fortunate condition of the junior sena tor, in his words that "the race issue is tabooed or not fully understood by the Democratic leaders in the North." So the Charleston News and Courier waxes wroth and tells Hon. Mr. Lati mer "to cheer up or shut up." Really, these Democratic editors are very hard to olase They scoffed at Senator Hill's great Panama speechsaid he was wasting his ammunitionthey damn Bryan for speaking too much and rurse Cleveland for not speaking at all, so what is a fellow a-gomg to do? There seems to be sufficient evi dence of a horrible condition of things in the Congo Free state. In reply to the mention of the great improve ments already introduced, the Boston Transcript thus sums up the situd1 tion- The railway, the telegraph and telephone lines and all the rest, are merely parts of a mighty engine con structed for the sdie purpose of ex ploiting the% country arid the people, and of fastening uporf them a system of slavery, all the more inhuman be cause it is that of a vast, impersonal Boston responds to the clamor about "social equality" by a big func tion at which the leading dramatis personae were as follows: Booker T. WashingtonGuest of Honor. Miss Lund, a Norwegian ladyMr. Washington's vis-a-vis. Robt. Treat Paine, a big Democrat,, introduces Mr. Washington. The function was evidently design ed to give the Southern newspapers an issue to discuss. The white planter of the South would meet Bishop Galloway with a Winchester, if \ite distinguished race separationist attempted to separate him from his black laborers. The Parker and Davis Club at Jack son, Mississippi, has issued a bombas tic "Address to the People" which con tains the following: "The American people will pass judgment on that un American policy which seeks to bring the two inhabiting races of the South to a common level, regardles of natur al differences and unmindful of the des perate resentment inspired in the su perior race by such an assault on its integrity." In a republic there can be but one kind of citizenship and all citi zens should be on a common level so far as their political rights are con cerned. That's the stand the Republi can party has taken on the question Parker is holding his peace regard ing the course of the Southern states which have adopted constitutional amendments discriminating against Afro-American citizens in the exercise of the right tp vote, be will leave to the Supreme Court the duty of deter mining whether by this action the states have violated the constitution of the United States. With the possi bility that some of the present justices may be retired and their places filled in the case of Parker's electionby such men as Tillman, Vardaman and John Sharp Williams it is easy to in fer what decision would be reached. Parker is holding his peace regard ing the course of the Southern states which have adopted constitutional amendments discriminating against Afro-American citizens in the exercise of the right to vote. will leave to the Supreme Court the duty of de termining whether by this action the states have violated the constitution of the United States. With the possi bility that some of the present jus tices may be retired and their places filled by such men as Tillman, Varda man, and John Sharp Williams, it is easy to infer what decision would be reached If anybody can show, conclusively, that the election of Parker, will bene fit in any way, or, better the condi tion of the Afro-Americans, as a class, or any other class of good, law abid ing, honest, upright citizens, who bethis lieve in and live up to the principle that a man is a man for a' that and a' that, regardless of race, color, creed or previous condition, we will advocate his election. But as his election Will only tend to make matters worse, and much worse, than they now areand God knows they are bad enoughwe cry aloud, VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT! Bishop Candler of the M. E. church has made for himself a glorious rec ord by his effective and real opposi tion to the crime of lynching As a consequence of his influence, the church ot Statesboro, Ga., requires any of its members, if such theie were, who participated in the recent lynching, to either "make public con fession of wrong with expression ot penitence and contrition," or get outside of the fold The Atlanta Constitution commends this action as "eminently right and proper." If there is any doubt in the mind of any one that this country ought to have laws which would compel the corporations to secure safety devices tor the protection of human lives and limbs, it will certainly be removed if such a one will acquaint himself with the fact that there were accidents, 3,787 persons killed, 55,130 injured. There was also a loss of $5,383,077 worth of railroad prop erty during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904. Isn't it awful? "I am opposed to the nigger's vot ing, it matters not what his advertised moral and mental qualifications may be. I am iust as much opposed to Booker Washington's, with all his Anglo-Saxon reinforcements, voting as I am to voting by the cocoanut headed, chocolate colored, typical little coon, Andy Dotson, who blacks my shoes ev ery morning. Neither one is fit to per form the supreme functions of citizen ship."Governor Vardaman, Demo cratic Governor of Mississippi Judge Thomas C. Jones of the Unit ed States Court at Huntsville, Ala bama, in opening the recent session de livered a vigorous charge to the grand jury with regard, to the recent lynch ing of an Afro-American in that city and instructed that the matter be prob ed to the bottom. It will be recalled that the state courts failed to convict any of the lynchers, and it is left for a judge appointed by President Roose velt, to see that justiee is done. If Joe ^Walcott had stuck to the "manly art of se'lf defense" of which he was an able exponent and let "shootin' irons" alone he would not now be "knocked out" by one of the latter. Last Monday he went to a dance in Boston and carried a "gun" which he was showing to Nelson C. Hall when it Was accidentally fired, the ball going thf ough Walcott's right hand and killing Hall. John Temple Graves anxiously in quires: "Is this black man from sav age Africa to perpetually disturb the harmony of the sections? Certainly not for if Mr. Graves will hunt up a single "black man from savage Africa" In the United States. ,THE APPEAL will agree to transport him to the St. Louis Exposition. In Cuba the Afro-American soldiers astonished the world by their bravery, and coolness under fire. They were fighting to free the beautiful isle from the Spanish yoke. It was a Republi can President, McKinley, wfio com? missioned 266 men of the race to lead their, men to battle. The Republican party cannot be just- wrongs suffered by the Afro-American #f /^C#tr people since the rebellion.?The Demo- 7'SS ]^\l AOUIJ\IJ1UJN cratic party has almost invariably wronged the race while the Republican party has done much to right- these wrongs. i Under the Roosevelt administration, there are in the civil service of the United States, In the city of Ne/w Or leans, 108 Afro-AmeriCans, drawing nearly $100,000 every year in salaries. No Afro-Americans are employed by the Democratic state and city govern ments, In Chicago recently a man predicted the exact hour of his death and died according to schedule. Th people of this country may be relied upon to kill Tillmanism, Vardamanism, Jeff Davisism and other Democratic isms on schedule time, November 8, 1904. The old saying about consistency be ing a jewel is a proverb which does not appeal to Parker and Tillman. They continue to yell about their love for liberty in the Philippines, but re fuse to grant civil and political rights to the Afro-Americans of the South. The Hon. Mr. Davis ought to make his speeches chime in tune. It will not do to assert in one speech that the Afro-Americans, in certain states elect the President, and in the next to claim that this is a white man's country. "Bishop Candler aptly compares the frantic alarmists of the Tillman Vardaman type t,o a bleating calf jumping up suddenly from under a chinquapin bush," and there is both truth and poetry in his comparison. It cost a million lives and a billion dollars to rid this country of the curse of slavery. The Democratic party hopes to take away the manhood rights of the Afro-Americans and reduce them to a state of vassalage Some of the papers are putting for ward the plea that Parker, as Presi dent, would not do the country much harm. Such a proposition will not at tract many voters. W want a Pres dent who can do some good. The contest against Afro-American suffrage is not settled. It is still being fought with bitterness. The Republi can party gave the ballot to the race the Democratic party is endeavoring to wrest it "from him. The Democrats of the South are es pecially anxious for the election of Parker because they believe it will then be easier than it is even now, to deprive the Afi o-American of his rights as a citizen. The progress of the Afro-American people in 30 years of freedom has been greater than that of any other race recorded in history. A great deal of progress should be credited to the Republican party. THE FUNDAMENTAL IDEA. THIS GOVERNMENT IS BASED UPON THE FUNDA MENTAL IDEA THAT EACH MAN, NO MATTER WHAT I S OCCUPATION, I S RACE, OR ",-HiS RELIGIOUS BELIEF, IS/ ENTITLED TO BE TREATED ON HIS WORTH AS "A MAN, NEITH- ER FAVORED NOR DISCRIM- INATED AGAINST BECAUSE OF ANY ACCIDENT IN HIS POSITION.President Roose velt his letter of acceptance, September 12, 1904. Wade Hartley, an Atro-American, was beaten to death last week while serving on the chain gang in South Carolina Chain gangs exist only in states where the .Democratic party is in power All of the prominent Atro-Ameri cans who strayed into the Bryan camp in 1900 have come back to the Republi can fold. They say there is no place the Democratic party for an Afro American. The frequent 'occurrence of fright ful railroad accidents may" be traced to two causes: Fragile cars and overworked employes Public opinion should force a reform in these partic ulars In no school in New Orleans for Afro-American pupils, is instruction given in any grade higher than the fifth. The Southern Democrats seem determined to keep the race down. At a recent Democratic meeting one speaker declared- "Th 'nigger' has no more right to the ballot than a two-year-old child has with a pistol."' That's straight Democratic doctrine "Rally Around the Flag, Boys," we'll defend it with our lives against the attacks of Tillman, Vardaman, Graves & Co., and all the anarchists they can marshal. The first lynching of a white man South Carolina occurred recently. Hundreds of Afro-Americans have been murdered by mobs in that Democratic stronghold. The Democratic speakers are garb ling President Roosevelt's words in a desperate attempt to make it appear that he advocated lynch law The Democrats of the South say that the Afro-American is all right in his place and they,assume the right to designate the place. The campaign buttons used by the Parker and Davis Clubs in Maryland are inscribed, "This is, a White Man's Country." Line up marshal every mother's son who loves his country and get ready to vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The buttons of the Maryland Parker and Davis clubs bear the legend A'Tbe White Man Must Rule." The Democrats iold the South.solid by the forcible suppression of the Afro Americans' franchise T~ V^~-f Those^who want freedom from wor may obtain it by voting for Parker..

Washington, D. Oct. 20.A re cent article by Mr. Samuel E. Moffett to the Saturday Evening Post of Phil adelphia gives some very interesting data about the Afro-American people. Mr. Moffett says: "The time is past when the only careers in life open to an Afro-American were to pick cot ton, make up berths in a Pullman car or wait on a table." notes the fact that we are developing a complete social antl industrial system of our own and says, "Th 'Afro-Americans could finance a railroad through their eighty-two bankers and brokers, lay it out with their 120 civil engineers and surveyors, condemn the right-of way with 728 lawyers, make the rails with their 12,327 iron and steel work ers, build the road with their 545,980 laborers, construct its telegraph sys,-. tem with their 185 electricians and their 529 linemen, and operate it with their 55,327 railway employes.

A Joiner to a professorship in the Teacher's College of that university Mr Joiner has been an instructor in Latin at the St High School tor the past six or seven years and was deservedly popular with pupils and of ficials, so much so that on the presen tation ot his resignation the board openly expressed much regret at los ing him and delayed the acceptance of the resignation tor several weeks Mr Joiner is a native ot Illinois where he is widelv known both on his father's account and because of his own merits." He is the only surviving son of the late Rev E C. Joiner, one of the best known Methodist preach ers the middle west, familiarly known in church circles, while he lived, as the "Little Giant" because of his small stature and great power as a bleacher The son was also active in church and Sunday school work throughout the state and has an ac quaintance reaching from Chicago to Cairo was graduated from the public schools of Illinois, finishing the High School at Springfield, where, al though he was sustaining himselt by working, he was among the leaders in a class of which he antl his sister were the only Afro-Americans and won a scholarship in college bj his splendid record Before the completion ot his college course and ere he had attained his majority his father died leaving upon him the care ot a mother and sister. It was by noble sacrifices on their part that hewas enabled to complete his college course which was done in less than the usual period though he was carrying the studies of both the college and normal departments from both of which he received diplomas The fall following his graduation hg was appointed to the principal ship of a school at Jerseyville, 111., where he*4 remained two and a half years, resign ing in the middle of the third year to accept a position in the war depart ment, where his sister had been ap pointed a tew months prior. The writer well remembers what a stir was caused by these two appointments following so close one upon the other, as Mr. Joiner and his sister had taken the civil service examination at the same time with about six hundred other, aspirants in Illinois and they were the first two appointed from their district having headed their re spective lists. With the exodus of Republican clerks under Cleveland Mr. Joiner's connection with the departments ceas ed and he was shortly afterward ap pointed to the Washington, High School Meantime he had graduated from the* law department of Howard THE DOO OF HOPE I cannot constnt to take the position that the door of hopethe door of opportunityis to be shut, upon any man, no niatter, how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race er color. :U^^f^V .WA* taking the full two year cours# In one, year and winning -valedictory of his class.

"The Afro-American Soldier has the Faculty of Coming to the Front When He is Needed Most He is a First Class Fighting Man.*' In 1900, when Theodore Roosevelt was Governor of New York, he was interviewed about the Afro-American soldier and this is what he said: "I know of the character and bravery of the Afro-American soldier saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many arti cles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushihg up the hill carrying everything before them. "The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the Civil war he came 200,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union. has done ex cellent work in all of the Indian cam paigns, and while I was in he West, I had a number ot opportunities of wit nessing his wonderful work. saved a massacre of the Seventh in 1890."
