Entered as second class matter June f, 1885 at the postoffloe at S Paul, Minn under act of Congress, March 8, mi. SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1915 THE NEW ABOLITION. The National Association for the Ad vacement of Colored People came as a direct result of the Springfield riots of 1908. After several conferences it was organized and permanent head quarters opened in November 1910. The growth of the organization has been phenomenal. Today it has fifty branches throughout the country and 7,000 members and the crisis, edited by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has reached a circulation of over 35,000. The platform of the association is broad but uncompromising. The offi cial statement contains among other thinks the following strong statement and demands. "The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the full enjoyment of their rights as citizens, justice in all courts and equal ity of opportunity everywhere. It fa vors and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or preroga tive, class or caste. It recognizes the national character of the race problem and no sectionalism. It be lieves in the upholding of the constitu tion of the United States and its amendments, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of 'all men up and no man down.' It abhors Negro crime, but still more the conditions which breed crime and, most of all, the crimes committed by mobs in the mockery of the law or by individuals in the name of the law. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to peacte and social content. It has no other desire than exact justice and no other motive than humanity." The proposed program for the ad vance of the colored people has been laid down by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois: "We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with a half loaf or by being willing to lull ur A^^mK^C^iM^iM^^^M/^j &,J THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on pro test. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the in- quisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.Ella Wheeler Wilcox. TM our friends into a false sense of our in difference and present satisfaction. The American Negro demands equali typolitical equalityand he is never going to rest satisfied with anything less He demands this in no spirit of braggadocio and with no obsequious envy of others, but as an absolute measure of self defense and the only one that will assure to the darker races their ultimate survival on earth. "The colored people must have in dustrial freedom. Between the peon age of the rural south, the oppression of shrewd capitalists and the jealousy of certain trade unions the colored la borer is the most exploited class in the country, giving more hard toil for less money than any other American and with less voice in the conditions of his labor. "In social intercourse every effort is being made today from the president of the United States and the so called Church of Christ down to saloons and bootblacks to segregate, strangle and spiritually starve the colored man so as to give him the least possible chance to know and share civilization. "The colored man must have power the power of men, the right to do, to know, to feel and to express that knowledge, action and spiritual gift He must not simply be free from the political tyranny of white folk he must have the right to vote and to rule over all the citizens to the extent of his proved foresight and ability. He must have a voice in the new in dustrial democracy which is building and the power to see to it that his children are not in the next generation trained to be the mud sills of society. He must have the right to social in tercourse with his fellows. "There was a time in the atomic in dividualistic group when "social inter course" m^ant merely calls and tea parties, today social intercourse means theaters, lectures, organiza tions, clubs, churches, excursions, tra vel, hotelsit means, in short, life. To bar a group from methods of think ing, living and doing, is to bar them from the world and bid them create a new worldit is to crucify them and taunt them with not being able to live." Dr. DuBois suggest five practical steps for actionfirst, economic co-op eration second, a revival of art and literature third, political action fourth, education fifth, organization. "For the accomplishment of all these ends we must organize. Organization among us already has gone far, but it must go much further and higher. Or ganization is sacrifice. It is sacrifice of opinions, of time, of work and of money, but it is, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of giftsfreedom and efficiency. I thank God that most of the money that sup ports this association comes from colored hands. A still larger propor tion must come, and we must not only support, but control, this and similar organizations and hold them unwaver ingly to our objects, our aims and our ideals. "With such organizations and with all the progress that they can point to let us never be satisfied with mere progress so long as we fall so far short of a reasonable accomplishment of our desires. Remember that we are despised today by millions of peo ple not because we suffer, but because we suffer like dumb, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces. To what other race could it happen on God's green earth that one of its great est leaders here in New York before assembled thousands could congratu late his people because only fifty-two colored men and women have in one short year been hanged and shot and burned by mobs If that can give 10,- THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man who in tho con scientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone the world, with ignor ant, intolerant judgment, may con demn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the counten ances of relatives or the hearts of friends.Charles Summer. *C^$f 000,000 people satisfaction, in God's name what will it take to make them fight? "As for me and those that think with me, so long as one black man in the United States is illegally punished or unjustly treated or has the door of opportunity closed in his face we will protest and complain and protest again whether the world wants to hear us or not. We may not gain our ends. We may not our days realize our ideals. But the program I lay before you is not only reasonable and just, but it is a program of peace and pa tience, and in laying it down I face the awful fact that in this as in all great causes, if peace and patience cannot win, then war and struggle must. In any case there can be no de spair, there can be no surrender, there can be no defeat as long as a colored man draws a breath in America." George Mason, a Kentucky white man, who lives in the cliffs north of High Bridge, on the Kentucky river, was so frightened at the sight of the first train he had ever seen, that he threw a rock at the Royal Palm on the Queen & Crescent route. Tne stone broke a window and hit Ray Fagan. A gash was cut on Fagan's scalp, but after receiving medical treatment he was able to continue his journey. Mason declares that he had never before seen a train and that he thought the thing was some sort of "huge varmint." Dr. Lin Sun, president of the Chi nese National Society is in the United States in the interest of his society. G. L. Sherwood Eddy and John R. Mott are endeavoring to introduce jimcrow Christianity of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. brand in to China. If they succeed, it will mean the eclipse of Dr. Sun. The Louisville News is making a great fight against segregation of res idences and tells the colored citizens that they can help by refusing to be segregated in other walks of life. Segregation is wrong whether~*in~a dive or a church and any church which practices it is no better than a dive. House Bill No. 131, introduced by R. R. Jackson, the colored member of the (Illinois legislature, "prohibits plays or movies tending to incite ill feelin* or prejudice, or to ridicule or dispar age others on account of race." It has been approved by the Judiciary Committee and will pass. The new register of the treasury is five-eights Cherokee Indian. As that is more than half it may be right to call him an Indian. The former re gister, J. C. Napier, is not more than one-eighth of African blood, yet he is called a Negro. How about it? The colored people of Richmond, Va have started to fight segregation. They have held a meeting of protest and are now raising money to pay lawyers. That's the way to do it. This hellish segregation business must be fought to a finish. St. Louis people have organized "The Colored American's Protective League." It will "fight jimcrowism, segregation and all discriminatory laws." That sounds good to THE APPEAL. Business men admitted that the whipping post kept Delaware in a rut and tried to have the legislature abol ish it, but the women wanted it and the bill was voted down. Ew fm* (I. S. NAVY BUSY.

Since Jan. 1, 1913, from one to seventy-three warships, ranging from super-Dreadnoughts to converted yachts, have beeri performing near war duty somewhere in the world.

Between Jan. 1 and March 4, 1913, President Taft dispatched a number of smaller warships to Mexican and Central American waters. Immediately Mr. Wilson became" president turmoil al most throughout Central America and Mexico began 'to develop into open warfare. No sooner had a few ships been dis patched to thyjliuif and wsest coasts of Mexico than fyfifate began in Venezu ela. A. revolution over in the western part of Venezuela, said to have been instigated by general Clpriano Castro, former president and dictator of that' country, got well under way before the Washington Authorities took cogni zance of it. fkt once two warships were dispatched to the Venezuelan coast Almost at the same time the cork popped from the bottle the Taft administration had closed up in Nica ragua, and it was necessary to send warships to the east and west coasts of Nicaragua, also to maintain the de tachment of marines at Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. Hardly had the anchors on the ves sels ordered tQ Nicaragua been hoisted when a loud explosion was heard in Santo Domingo. A revolution had bro ken out there for the second time in less than a year. Down to Dominican waters rushed two gunboats. Upon their arrival it was learned that in the adjoining republic, Haiti, a revolution also was under way, and wireless or ders sent two cruisers scurrying down there. The details of this service will be laid before congress this winter when the navy department Is called upon to report the operations of the fleet in an effort to obtain additional ships and men. It is the purpose of Secretary Daniels to inform congress that the long service of the ships in tropical and semitropical waters necessitated the placing of several other vessels In re serve because of the insufficient num ber of men with which to man all the ships. He will tell congress the navy is short now something like 18,000 en listed men and 100 officers and that in a year from now if no increase is al lowed the navy will be short about 22,000 men and about 175 officers.

Mothers Are Thankful to See Maimed Sons Alive, Women Give Up Hope For Boys as They Go to War, and Their Return, Although Disfigured, Is Occasion For Great JoyOne Said, "I'm Not Dis figured I'm Decorated." Calais."You can't imagine the joy of mothers and fathers when their boys come back to them from the war minus an arm or a leg or some other portion of their bodies. Human nature is a queer thing, and war brings this queerness into strong relief." says one of the American correspondents now at the front "I witnessed the arrival of a Red Cross train here. The cars were loaded with young men fresh from the Bel gian border. A soldier I talked to said. 'We gave them hell, I tell youbut we caught a few pellets ourselves.' "From the looks of them they had indeed. Some hobbled out of the cars, their arms in slings or their heads tied up or a foot off the ground others came on stretchers to be transferred to the channel steamers waiting at the dock. One soldier limped out on the platform. His head was bandaged all around so voluminously that he couldn't wear his cap. "One arm was in a sling the hand was bandaged In a way betokening the absence of one or more fingers. "Near by stood a woman. She was looking for some one. Suddenly the much bandaged soldier saw the woman and started. With an inarticulate sound, partly smothered by the ban dages, he touched the woman "She uttered a*cry and seached eager ly the bandaged face. Apparently her mother love, rather than her eyes, told her it was her boy. 'My son, my son!' she exclaimed, enraptured. A Red Cross surgeon stepped up. 'Madam,' he said, 'your son un doubtedly will recover, but I must tell you that most of his jaw is shot away.' "'Oh, I'm so glad, so glad!' the mother cried, tears streaming from her eyes. *I see that sort of thing many times dally,' the surgeon said 'When a moth er sees her boy march away to war she gives him up for dead, she scarce ly hopes even in her mother heart of hope ever to see her boy alive again Always she lives in dread of the day when the brief announcement of the dead will contain the name of her boy So at last, when her boy comes back to her it doesn't matter how terribly he is shot up or disfigured. It is the same with mothers everywhere, any time.' "There is another cause for a moth er's joy when her son returns maimed, broken physically, but alive. She knows the boy cannot return to tbe battle line, a mark for bullets and shrapnel that kill. "There is another strange thing to be noted while talking to the wounded They are quite happy to have bad wounds about the face and head, much preferring disfiguring face wounds to lesser wounds in body or legs. "A train of wounded was on its way to southern France. When it halted at Boulogne those of the wounded who were able got out to walk up and down the platform. Among these was one whose face could hardly be called by that name. One eye was gone, the other was badly swollen until he could hardly see Bandages CQvered all but discolored parts of his face. "'You poor dear,' sympathized an Englishwoman who approached him timidly 'You poor, poor boy.' 'Madam,' replied the soldier with as much pride and clearness as the band ages would permit 'don't pity me Pity my friends in the train there who got it where it won't show.' "The Englishwoman couldn't under stand. 'Whywhywhy,' she stammered, 'I thought you wouldn't like to be dis figured' 'Disfigured!' the soldier replied, 'I'm not disfigured: I'm decorated!'" OLD THIEF SAVES BOY PAL Found In House He Stays to Let Youth Upstairs Escape. Terre Haute, Ind. Dan McCarthy, aged sixty-one years, calmly waited for arrest when the police were sum moned to a house by a burglar alarm over1 a'telephone. He stood in the hall, making no effort to escape. Later he explained that he acted as he did in order to give his pal, who was up stairs, a chance to escape. The pal, he said, was only a boy, the son of a Chicago saloon keeper, and the old man did not wish the young ster caught "dead to rights," which would mean a prison term. He said that he had served so many terms he did not mind another one. In the city court he said he did not wish a lawyer and waived examina tion, speaking as one acquainted with court procedure. He was bound over to the circuit court, where, he says, he will plead guilty. He talked freely about his career, telling of his various prison experiences. His Point of Interest. "Will you be kind enough to re move your hat, madam?" the usher asked at the summer theater in an unstagy whisper. "Why should I?" the woman asked. "There is nobody behind me. Who wants me to take my hat off?" "That man back there." "But it doesn't obstruct his view of the stage. I am three seats to the right of him." "That is true, ma'am, but you cut off his view of the women in the right lower box That seems to be what he is interested in." i $ VH" Defective Page WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO" Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir. I cannot too heartily congratu late you on a recent editorial discour aging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They real ize that it is the most potential fac tor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly in accurate as applied to millions of col ored people, but it is also alarminly injurious,, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher tvpes, but to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegam bians only. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Ne- grofy," and its compounds, Negro-head, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are all clear ly, in their associations, degrading Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweet heart, if you favor the use of the mas culine term. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored" It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nig ger" As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned in fluence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, Asi atics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours, OWEN M. WALLER, Must Judge A Group by Its Best. (From the Ghrlstian Register, Boston, Mass.) No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others i who have had no such contact, but! who have come into intimate and sym pathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known and of the two sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know aspi rations among them that the others d not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obli vious of, they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the col ored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demon strated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously can did with themselves, they would re vise their judgments and possibly sof ten their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from know ing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. Of One Blood. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom.) I am a human being. I do not pro pose to be cooped up or shut in in my love and criticism to mere geographi cal streaks or spots of people on a planet. This planet is small enough as it is, when one considers the height and depththe starry height and depthof the human spirit that wavers and glows through us all Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstoi and Moliere! Though the cathedrals quar Tel together and sing praises with siege-guns to their own little foolish national souls, and rain bombs on each other's naves, I take my stand by the great bells ringing in their ,4f RACE PREJUDICE. I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Pre judice none at all. I write deliberately-it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world. Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealousy and persecu tion and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. H. G. Wells in N. Y.

(From the Boston Guardian.) That we much rather be, and asso ciate among ourselves, is a saying by Colored Americans that has become almost trite. That is a mistake it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and innate inferiority. It is an utter lm possibilitay for the two races to sub scribe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race work out Its own salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted into a ghastly failure instead of making for har mony and cordial good feeling be tween two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have heeded too long the advice from false and treach erous leadership that resistance is wrong, that it only breeds race hat red and antagonism that the thing for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow We have followed this "advice" faith fully and have been rewarded in terms of residince segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriagewhich is all of the blackest pieces of legis lation, since that it leaves our women defenseless and at the mercy of white brutes separate schools, jimcrow cars, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from "non resistance" and "rather be by our selves." That with the same degree of effontry and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same effontry and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us That is a fact. Every congress of fers legislation degrading and inimi cal to our well being. Race preju dice, therefore, can only be worn down by attrition. We must send our children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MUST WELCOME AND PRAC- TICE JUXTAPOSITION. THE DEMISE OF THE SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS. (Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.): "A dispassionate review of the work of the Sixty-third congress brings lit tle to congratulate the people of the United States upon and much to con demn that body for. Its sins of omis sion and commission were many its works, in advancement of the inter ests of the people and of the nation, few and far between. Brought into ex istence upon the summit of a wave of progressive reform given power up on promises plainly and definitely ex pressed, it demonstrated incapacity from the beginning and deliberately repudiated In numerous instances poli cies and principles it was elected to promote and maintain. It produced a tariff law that fails to secure the reve nues needed for sound administration of the country's affairs, and it enacted a levy for taxes in a time of profound peace. Need we go farther than this as an evidence of its weakness, inca pacity and failure to grasp the require ments of the republic?"
