William Monroe Trotter, according to a cablegram received by the Boston Guardian has succeeded in getting be fore the peace conference at Paris, the address adopted by the National Colored Congress for World Democ racy, which met at Washington, D. C, December 18, 1918, under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League, In the sixth and seventh columns of this page we reprint the entire address just as it was adopted at the Wash ington meeting. "NEGRESS" IS NAUSEATING. The following from the Chicago Tribune is a manly protest against the use of a word which is particularly of fensive to colored women. OBJECTS TO "NEGRESS." Chicago.(Editor of the Tribune.) In two recent issues you published very fine and highly commendatory editorials on "Race Progress and Com mon Sense," yet, notwithstanding that, yesterday you state in glaring head lines the "Death of Mme. Walker, Wealthiest Negress," That word "Negress" is nauseating in the eye sight of all colored women^and should be eliminated from the vocabulary, in which it has no rightful place. Above all, your paper should be the leader this regard, if you really have the welfare of the colored race at heart. SAMUEL Z. C. WESTERFIELD. The colored men who persist in us ing "negro" as a race designation are largely to blame for the common use of a word which should be avoided. The colored people of the United States are Americansthat's all. The use of "negro" and "negress" is the cause of many discriminations against the colored people. The word "negress" is nauseating, and so is the word "negro." "FOR NEGRO PRESS EXCLU SIVELY." THE APPEAL during the war, patriotically published many pages of free advertising of Liberty Loans, Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps, Food Administration notices, etc., and at a great expense to the publisher. It was a duty which every American owed to his native land. x^? THE SIN OF SILENCE We are now receiving a lot of copy headed (For the Negro Press exclu sively) which will NOT appear in THE APPEAL. It is ridiculous to send out such stuff and Teally an insult to the colored soldiers, who fought for de mocracy. Thrift is a very important matter for ALL Americans, but it is not limited by color or race or creed and the identical matter should be sent to every group of Americans, un less it be translated into some for eign language for the benefit of for eigners who can not read English. The colored people speak the language of their native countryEnglish. In the future as an the past THE APPEAL will continue to print a por tion of the official matter it receives, but no jimcrow matter. THE APPEAL is not a "negro" pa per. For years it has had at its busi ness heading THE APPEAL An American Newspaper and that is what it is. THE APPEAL believes in Americanism for every American of every race, color or creed. To send out copy sheets prepared "exclusively for the Negro 'press" is an insult to the intelligence, patrio tism and Americanism of 12,000,000 English speaking AMERICANS, who wish no special privileges. WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE WINS. The suffrage amendment permitting women to vote has passed the United States Senate and now goes to the state legislatures for ratification. The Southern senators fought the amendment to a finish. Senator Smith of South Carolina characterized the resolution as a "Pandora box of evil" and said a vote for it would be a "vote to turn loose on the South another era of race trouble." Senator Gay of Louisiana made the prediction that at least thirteen states would hold out forever against the amendment. Senator Brandage of Connecticut said, "the southern Democrats have been voting down the principle of self government." The Connecticut senator spoke of President Wilson as having "see sawed" on the woman's suffrage pro ject, "with Ms usual facility for tak ing one side and then the other of a question." An amendment to limit the suffrage to white women, failed, receiving only 17 votes, including Senator Borah's, who was the only northern man to vote for it. The colored people of the country should note this fact in their political account books, where they have already recorded the fact the Bea some years ago voted to bar persons of the colored races from immigrating to this country. KILL THE BILL! THE APPEAL again calls the atten tion of the colored leaders of Illi nois to a dangerous race commission bill now before the legislature of that state. It is class legislation and if not defeated may be the forerunner of jim crow enactments which will vi tally affect the progress of the col ored people. We learn that the colored repre sentatives, Turner and Douglas, a opposed to the measure and we trust that Representative Roberts will join with them in preventing its passage. Every colored man who does not wish the fair name of Illinois var nished by this class law should work for ilts defeat. "AN ALL-AMERICAN ILLINOIS." At the Peoria meeting of the Illi nois Federation of Women's Clubs it was resolved to work for "An Ail American Illinois." That's a good idea and has the hearty endorsement of THE APPEAL. The suggestion of Miss F. Wetmore of Chicago was also an excellent one: "I would suggest the establishment of institutes in the women's clubs to investigate such conditions and find ways and means for doing away with the isolation in which many of our foreign born now are living. Each clubwoman should have a foreign born woman friend. "We should work to do away with that attitude of superiority which we as Americans sometimes have toward the foreign born. The club women I am sure will be grateful for the friendship of foreign born women. The clubwomen also can help the foreign born to learn the difference between autocracy which means 'obedience and democracy which means responsibility." THE APPEAL further suggests that as there are at (least 50,000 colored ALL-AMERICAN-BORN, in the state 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. 1 of Illinois, who are, refused employ ment, subjected to miany indignities and in some cases murdered on ac count of colora dozen or more were killed in cold blood during the East St. Louis riotsand recently in Chi cago, attempts have been made to blow up the homes of colored women who were superior in moral character, education and refinement to many of their neighbors, it would be well for the women who are so interested in foreigners, to go on record as being opposed to the wrongs which have been inflicted upon their colored sis ters. The Illinois wihite women should also "do away with that attitude of superiority" which they sometimes have toward their colored sisters and "each clubwoman should have a (colored) woman friend." The foregoing suggestions if fol lowed would be great aids in making democracy safe in the U. S. A. QUITS PREACHING TO BE CHRIS- TIAN. The Rev. L. Paul Taylor, pastor of the Highland Park Congregational Church says a man can not be a suc cessful minister and at the same time practice and preach the principles of the "Sermon on the Mount," and has resigned his pastorate at Detroit, Mich. He says: "I desire to live a Christian life, and that, it is impossible for me to do and at the same time be a successful minister." There are thousands of other preach ers who would quit df they held the same high ideals as Mr. Taylor. Many of the white ministers break all of the commandtaents without a qualm of conscience and nearly all refuse to believe in the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." The colored preachers on the contrary are practically unanimous in their belief in the "brotherhood" matter, but there are entirely too many who are much too enthusiastically interested in the "sisterhood," and it would be a great help to the colored people if such brethren could be induced to I change their calling. DR. CLANCY IS WORRIED Dr. Rockwell Clancy of the Metho dist Episcopal Church is worried about the "menace" of Mohammedanism and Buddhism in American. Says he: "Thrice every day 8,000 followers of Mohammed in America turn their faces toward Mecca and pray. And where the American flag floats over the Philippine islands 340,000 persons are followers of Islam. Buddhism also had set up its cross legged god in our west. There are seventy-four Bud dhist temples in the United States." Japanese brides-to-be are met at the ports in the west by Buddhist priests and the marrriage ceremony is per formed according to Buddhistic ritual. "It is the plan of the centenary movement to have ministers of the Christian religion meet these ships," wrote Dr. Clancy. "The world recon struction program of the centenary makes provision for neutralizing and ultimately removing other non-Chris tian influences in the religious life of the country." The Methodist Episcopal Centenary Committee, proud of the fact that the church has turned its back on God and discriminated against the colored people of the United States, now seeks to "remove other non-Christian influ ences," and jimcrow the Japanese. Neither Mohammedanism nor Bud dhism has a color line, either in theory or practice. Theoretically Christianity has no color line, but practically in America the principal business of "Christianity" is to segre gate and lower the social status of colored people. Bishop Hartzell one of the greatest of M. E. bishops, once Bishop of Africa, who spent many years on the African continent said that the super iority of the Mohammedan African over the Christian African was most pronounced. The Mohammedan held up his head and compelled respect the Christian did not respect himself and of course did not command re spect. Let us have more Mohammedanism or Buddhism or any other ism which makes for manhood. HAVE THE GOODS ON POLES. The recently liberated Poles have been celebrating their new found free dom by massacres of their Jewish fel low citizens. When the reports first reached this country prominent Amer ican Poles denied the accusations, but American Jews of wealth sent a com mittee to investigate and their report has been sent to the various Jewish organizations and has also been pre sented to the state department. I Conditions in Poland were described ^^^^s3^^F?P^^^"tls' A as being worse than in any other sec tion. It was charged that the Polish government not only had made no ef fort to stop the pogroms, but in many cases incited the demonstrations. A mission of five men investigating conditions in Poland reported they had authoritative information that po groms took place recently in Kalish, Dombrovo, Chmolnik, Pinchow, Stup nich, Wielum, Bust and in .several smaller towns. It was declared that Jews who escaped death were sub jected to "terrible mistreatment." Better conditions prevail, it was stat ed, in West Ukrania. Another report said several thou sand Jews were massacred in Pros kuzow by the band of Hetman Liniv now. In Hungary, the report contin ued, there exists a strong anti-Semit ism, which "will undoubtedly lead to the greatest excesses against all Hun garian Jews." A pogrom in Pinsk on April 5, in which one hundred Jews were killed, was described by one of the represen tatives, who said the Polish military arrested many Jews who had assem bled to receive flour furnished by the Jews of America and executed them in the market place without trial. MORE RELIGIOUS BUNK. A resolution. condemning the pub lication of Sunday newspapers has been adopted by the Presbyterians at their general assembly at St. Louis. Spirited discussion preceded the adoption of the Sunday newspaper res olution, which calls on members of the church not to "subscribe for, read, or advertise in it." The Rev. Dr. John A. McCullom of Philadelphia charged the commission ers with insincerity. "Let us be sensible about the ques- tion," he declared. "What the church needs more than anything else is sin cerity. I did a little detective work around the hotels yesterday and saw two former moderators, many of the secretaries of boards, and about half the commissioners here reading Sun day papers. The Sunday paper is just as necessary as the Sunday trolley, which you attempted to condemn sev eral years ago." Yes, Brother McCullom, the Presby terians, as well as all other brands of orthodox alleged Christians of Ameri ca. All claim to believe in the Fa therhood of God and the Brotherhood of man, but a few years ago the gen eral assembly of Presbyterians thrust their colored membership without the pale of brotherhood by permitting segregation in synods. "TREAT THEM RIGHT." A resolution proposing the reorgan ization of the American household to domestic service upon a footing "tol erable to the working woman" and or ganization^ of the domestic workers themselves to demand fair wages and improved working conditions will be offered by Mrs. Raymond Robins, president of the National Women's Trade Union League, at the conven tion of the league to be held in Phil adelphia June 2-7. "Under present conditions," Mrs. Robins said recently, "the working woman resists the suggestion that she seek domestic service as a means of livelihood and resents the efforts to draw or force her into it. "When despairing householders cry 'What is to become of the American home if we can get no servants?' the working woman demands to know whose American home, your or mine? "For, after all, the working women are more numerous than their well to-do sisters whose plaints are heard in clubs and in the newspapers. And domestic service means no home at all for the domestic worker." Good'for Mrs. Robins. "AMERICANIZATION." Since the war there has been a lot of talk in the papers about "Ameri canization" and it is important that every person in the United States should be taught the essentials of good citizenship. This does not apply solely to for eigners but to many of American birth. For instance, in the southern tier of states, large numbers of peo ple have no conception of American citizenship. Many of the leading citi zens are so busy with lynching and other deviltry that they lose sight of the essentials of American citizen* ship. WHY NOT PROTECT AMERICANS? Former President Taft told the council of the Union of American He brew Congregations, in an address at Boston recently, that religious dis crimination in Poland and Roumania would not be tolerated under the peace treaty, and that there would be adopted provisions of the league of nations which would "prevent the ^fk.in?nayour heartbreaking occurrences of the past." Why not have a provision to Mississippi of our own U. S. A.? THE WORKMEN'S QUERY. Perhaps McAdoo thinks that since "he raised the wages of railway em ployes the employes will always give him credit, and will bestow their cen sure upon any man who happens to be in control if wages ever come down again. But perhaps that won't be the us workman's view. He may inquire why Colored Aviator Killed In Paris. McAdoo didn't stick to the job and Paris, June 4.The colored keep the wages up. It cost considerable money to send our army to France, and it will cost just as much to bring it homemake good your W. S. S. pledge. ***&> ",4--"- i c^-^^^^j^^^ss^ "ftr **^P$g^jgs*? ROBERT R. MOTON. (From the Crisis.) Neither R. R. Moton nor W. E B. Dubois had the slightest idea that "the other was planning to sail for France, December 1, until they met in Wash ington on a quest for passports, No vember 30. They sailed on the Steam er Orizaba and frankly discussed their agreements and disagreements. When they reached France, each went about his own business. Dr. Moton was sent by the President of the United States and the Secre tary of War ito see and talk to colored soldiers. Dr. Du Bois was sent by the N. A. A. C. P. and the Crisis to gather the historical facts concerning colored troops and to call a Pan African Congress. On the night before Dr. Moton started out a colored man of national reputation and unquestioned integrity who had been in France six months took him aside and told him frankly the situation: the rampant American prejudice against colored troops and officers and the bitter resentment of the victims. Dr. Moton's letters gave him every opportunity. A special Army Order preceded him, which read: Dr. R. R. Moton, President of Tus kegee University, will be present in the Divisional area for the next few days. The Division Commander di rects that commanding officers render all possible assistance in any visit or inspection Dr. Moton desires to make. They will also see that he is accorded every opportunity to make any obser vation he may wish to make. What did Dr Moton do? He rushed around as fast as possible He took with him and had at his elbow every moment that evil genius of the colored race, Thomas Jesse Jones, a white man. Dr. Moton took no time to investigate or inquire. He made a few speeches, of which one is reported by a hearer as follows: The address delivered by Dr. Moton to the men consisted of one or two jokes by a colored preacher, the as surance that the people at home were proud of them and the manner in which they should act upon their re turn to the United States, dwelling al most entirely upon the phrase "Not to be arrogant." After he had spoken to the men the major informed the offi cers that Dr. Moton desired to hold a secret conference with them. All of ficers congregated in the office. After being presented to the officers, Dr. Moton stated that he had been sent to France by President Wilson and Mr. Baker for the purpose of speaking to the colored troops. He also stated that he had just left Paris where he had been in conference with President Wilson and had asked the President his views as to the practical applica tion of democracy toward the colored man in the United States, but ended by saying: "I was very much pleased with his reply but, gentlemen, I can not quote the President." After Dr. Moton finished his talk no opportunity was given to the officers to inform him of the conditions that had existed in France, and he did not seek any information relative to same from any of the officers after the con ference ended. Dr. Moton then returned to Paris and met Colonel House, General Per shing and others. Colonel House told the writer that he urged Dr. Moton to remain in Paris and that if he would, Colonel House would give him an op portunity to appear in person before the Peace Conference to speak for the black world. Dr. Moton refused to stay, but promised to return. He then went to England and secured an audience with Lloyd George, Prime Minister of England. The destiny of the black race today is in the hands of England and the destiny of England is in the hands of Lloyd George. Yet Dr. Moton did not keep bis appointment but rushed to catch his boat in order to be present at the Tuskegee Confer ence. He sailed with Thomas Jesse Jones still watching him, and did not return to Paris or to the Pan-African Conference, which he said he favored and promised to support. No one questions the personal in tegrity of Robert R. Moton or his kind ly disposition, but no one friend or foe, can look these facts in the face and not feel bitter disappointment. The Urban League. (From the Boston Guardian.) The Guardian has noticed the sneak thief method that the Urban League has taken to get a foot hold in Bos ton We set a trap and all the mice walked in. As long as the Boston Urban League maintains the standard of New England and fights for liberty and justice in all things and sees to it that when our young girls are given jobs they are to be real jobs and not to become the playthings of a certain type of white men we will say noth ing. It seems that many people are of the opinion that because Trotter is in France trying to give them a man's chance instead of a dog's chance that anything can be put over. The young fellows left in charge are just as well educated and have had the necessary experience to write and fight as ef fectively as he. We wish to be broad minded hence we may appear easy, don't fool yourselveswe understand the Urban League and its sinister, curry favor, dog like attitude. We also understand these white philan thropists that pet black people as they would a French poodle. If these same white people would see to it that in the many corporations in which they hold shares that colored men (and I mean as Trotter said, those of discernible African extrac tion) be given a decent job instead of a porter's job they would indeed be real Americans. We want to warn young colored girls'of ambition that before leaping at a job in a sweat shop please see first that the shop is clean, airy and a decent placeinferior to work inrather Better to maintai womanhood and health, job than a risk it in a sweat shop, Do notu forget that the white la borere is after the capitalist. To dodge yo prevent lynchings and *other "heart- the issue these capitalists are anxious breaking occurrences" in Georgia and Good jobs for colored Americans will come^ust as soon as Americans get sense enough to do real farming, real business and real thinking. Running a restaurant is not business, running a shoe shop is If our ambitious girls and boys would go to the library and read Loughs Corporation Finance and books of like character you will come to very different conclusions about jobs. It is nerve and push that our race needs not Urban Leagues. .^iik^^S^^^^^^^^^i&S^^S^^ rit#OU 3StS.

'Tis another case of the ostrich sticking it head in the that skeleton is the black cTtien of ADDRESS PRESENTED TO PEACE CONFERENCE ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL COLORED CONGRESS FOR WORLD DE- MOCRACY UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE AT WASHINGTON, D. C. DEC. 18, 1918. Colored America, through delegates assembled from 37 of the United States of America, sore and bleeding with persecution because of race and color, hails with hope peace with victory, for the motto on the banners of the armies of the victors was "Away with tyranny and its injustice every- where" Speaking for 12,000,000 Colored Americans, the National Colored Representative Assembly for World Democracy under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League congratulate their fellow Countrymen and their government on being the instrument by which the God of righteousness turned the tide of battle for the forces of liberty. War Put On World Basis As To The Results. Two hemispheres and the islands of two oceans furnished without regard to race or color the armies of this bloody and terrible war. Shameful it would be if its close did not mark a new humane era. To the President of our Republic, Commander-in-Chief of our army and navy it was given to name the principles on which the winners fought this war. and its purpose. By his declaration, accepted by France, Britain and the rest openly before the human race, the principles and the aim of this war were put upon a world basis. Secondly these principles and aims were for the wiping out of autoc- racy, inhumanity and injustice, and for the establishment of world justice, world humanity and world democracy. Wrongs To Individual On World Basis For Redress. With the ushering in of the new year, 1919, the nations of the world are assembled to settle the terms of peace for the world, for the establishment everywhere of the principles for which this world war was waged by the forces of democracy. Therefore every denial or violation of justice, humanity and democracy has become a matter FOR CORRECTION AND ABROGATION ON A WORLD BASI8 BY A WORLD COURT. Hence Colored America, which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizens without a traitor, appeals to the allied World for justice and Democracy in the peace settlement. Utterly Undemocratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. 8. A. Citiiens by law of the United States of America, the famous Republic of the West, we first appeal to the civilised world for the discontinuance of all race or class discrimination in the world peace settlement. At this supreme moment in the cause of universal humanity, when wrongs to man should be banished, we must call world attention to the utterly undemo- cratic conditions under which every person of color is forced to live in this country. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital de- prives us of every civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the restriction of the Ghetto as employees of the federal government. Otherwise our color in many parts of the country deprives us of every civil, political, social and judicial right subjects us to obloquy, imposition, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities, worse in degree than exist anywhere else in Christendom Segregation in public carriers, dis- franchisement, lynching are essentially violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought. Self-determination For Darker Nations. That the tremendous material and appalling human losses of this world war may not be without result for good, we appeal to the peaje conclave to grant self-determination and rights without discrimination to all of the darker nations.
