The Broad Ax

Hon. Warren G. Harding President of the United States, Slopped Clear Over on Both Sides in His Social Equality Bugbear Oration Delivered at Birmingham, Ala. He Admonishes the Colored Man to Keep His Race Pure, that Amalgamation on His Part with the White Race Is Absolutely Impossible, Abhorant and Unthinkable. THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THIS GREAT NATION UTTERLY FAILED HOWEVER TO IMPRESS IT UPON THE MINDS OF THE WHITE GENTLEMEN IN THE SOUTHERN STATES THAT FOR THE PAST TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING OVERTIME IN AN EFFORT TO LIGHTEN OUT OR BLEACH OUT THE COLORED RACE; THAT AT THE PRESENT TIME MORE THAN NINETY PER CENT OF ALL THE ILLIGITIMATE CHILDREN BORN TO COLORED WOMEN IN THE SOUTH ARE THE OFFSPRING OF WHITE GENTLEMEN. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE PRESIDENT DESIRES THE COLORED MAN TO BEAR HIS OWN BURDENS AND AT THE SAME TIME ANSWER FOR THE SINS AND THE IMMORALITY OF THE WHITE MAN. On November last the American people elected Warren G. Harding President of the United States. The popular majority received by Mr. Harding was one of the largest ever given a candidate for the presidency. A heterogeneous mass of American citizenship declared its choice for President by casting their ballots as provided by law. The votes thus cast represented every race group, and each and all by casting their vote, represented the sovereignty of American citizenship. The potential value of each vote is the same. Mr. Harding's invasion of the South a few days ago was seized upon by him as an excellent opportunity for expressing his views on matters and issues affecting the Colored people of this country. It is not recorded that any considerable number of Colored people had importuned the President to give public utterance to his views relative to the rights of their particular group. His utterances so far as the Colored people were concerned, were gratuitous and unnecessary in so far as they sought to express his views respecting social equality. With Mr. Harding's views as a private citizen, we have nothing to do. But when he speaks as President of the United States, his utterances have the stamp of official authority and are regarded as expressive of the policy of his administration. When these views have to do with matter that are within the power and authority of the President to deal, his utterances have a meaning that is not to be lightly regarded. We are vitally concerned with what the President has to say relative to the attitude of the present administration toward the Colored group of American citizens. But these views can have force of authority only when they are in the nature of insistence upon a just regale for the Federal Constitution and a fair and impartial enforcement of the laws of the United tates. So far, therefore, as the President sought to impress upon his hearers that the Colored people of this country are entitled to the enjoyment of equal political, economic and educational rights, the President is speaking within his power. These rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. So far, thereof the President to see that they are respected and enforced. The President, however, found it expedient to step aside from the consideration of these paramount and fundamental duties, and sought to discuss the question of social equality and to advise the Colored people not to aspire to such. When he did this, he stepped beyond the bounds of propriety and duty as well. When the president empha-sizes the fact that as American citizens, the Colored people are entitled to equal enjoyment of their civil and political rights, he has our approval as well as our appreciation. But what, pray, has the question of Social equality to do with the civil and political rights of any group of citizens? What right has the president or any other official, speaking in official capacity to give advice and to fix meets and bounds within which a certain group of American citizens must strive and aspire? The Race, in its struggle upward is not in need of barriers, but of unlimited vision, of room for expansion of a friendly atmosphere in which to act, without restrictions or limitations arbitrarily fiked or set by the fiat of unjust discrimination. Nor does the Race stand in need of so much advice gratuitously given. What we do need most of all is to be let alone. We are more in need of a baptism of the spirit of Good Will than of these continual showers of advice. It is not a very pleasing experience to be called a problem and to be discussed, pro and con by persons who claim to know more about our thoughts and aspirations and strivings than we know ourselves. A few of the points made by the president deserve special consideration not because of the wisdom in the superstitions, but more because of their in M. H.

He says: Men of both Races may well stand uncompromis- ingly against every suggestion of Social equality. This is not a question of Social equality, but a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal, in- receible difference." escapable interference. The president is not entitled to our thanks for attempting in any way to discriminate against the Colored people of this country. It is this discrimination that has subjected the Colored people to attacks from the lawless mob, to lynchings and burnings that have disgraced this country in the eyes of the civilized world. The floodlum feels that he is perfectly safe in attacking the Colored citizens because he is of a proscribed race. What need is there of the Colored man or the White man for that matter, standing uncompromisingly against every suggestion of Social equality, if as the president says, the difference between the two races is fundamental, eternal and inescapable? It certainly must occur to each thinking man and woman that such statements are inconsistent with each other. Does it not occur to the president that the question of Social equality is not one to be controlled by law or decree, but to the outgrowth of man's own untrammed aspirations? Equal opportunities for cultivating all that God has created each individual capable of becoming are the inevitable guardians of all matters affecting the Social intermingling of human beings. The harmonious intermingling of the Races of all groups on our streets, and in public places is a phase of Social equality. There is a vast difference in the proper meaning of the terms, Social equality, amalgamation and misregination. If the president, there fore, means Social equality in its broadest sense, he is absolutely wrong and his advice will be rejected by every fair-minded man or women of either Race. If the president untw HON. GEORGE B. HOLMES tingly has used the term Social equality for Race amalgamation, then again we say, if the differences between the Races be fundamental and inescapable, why worse about amalgamation. why worry about amalgamation. The truth of the matter is that the Colored people are the ones who are most concerned about that phase of our Social intermingling. We are but ten million in a population of One hundred million people. There is no record of Colored men forcing Race amalgamation; but there is abundant proof that the White man especially the Southern White man has been insistent, brutal and lawless, in forcing amalgamation on the unfortunate Colored people who were either his helpless slaves or his unwilling victims. If the president has in mind miscegination or intermarriage, he shows a striking inconsistency in that, if the difference between the Races be so fixed' and eternal and inescapable, there is no cause to worry about intermarriage. The question of marriage is one that concern primarily, the two contracting parties. It is not, therefore, the business of outside persons to advise, direct or prohibit. If, however, the president would give some guaranty that his Southern White friends would not unlawfully invade the sanctity of the Colored group, we would feel that he was actuated by a spirit of fair play to both groups. The fact is that Race amalgamation has been going on in this country for two hundred years and is still being practiced, and in most such cases, the Southern White man in the aggression. We contend that if Race amalgamation is to be carried on, that it should be legalized. We contend that if the Southern White man wishes to raise a family by a Colored woman, the law should permit him to legitimize the children of such union and throw about the mother, the sanctity and protection of the law. To advocate any other view, would be to sanction We had expected the President to suggest that the Black man strive to become the best possible American citizen. Why should he strive to be the best possible Black man? Why should the worth of American citizenship be limited by Racial lines or by the color of man's skin. Some of the best efforts of a group of noble men and women of this country are put forth in the direction of moulding into a homogeneous progressive, American citizenship, this polyglot mass of humanity that makes up the population of this country. The president wants the Colored group to stand apart, pursuing its own inherited traditions, preserving its own Race purity and Race pride. The suggestion amounts to having a nation within in a nation—a black nation within in a white nation. This is not only impossible, but undesirable; and the president in advocating an anomalous position has placed himself in a very embarrassing attitude to say the least. The Colored group of American citizens is not asking any favors. It simply wants to be let alone and to be given opportunity to work out its destiny as other Race groups are permitted to do. They want to enjoy every right, every privilege and every immunity that belongs to American citizens. THE CITY FATHERS OF CHICAGO ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AT THE REGULAR SESSION OF THE CITY COUNCIL, UNANIMOUSLY VOTED IN FAVOR OF PERMITTING THE FORT DEARBORN HOSPITAL AND TRAINING SCHOOL A TAG DAY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THAT INSTITUTION ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 7th. ALDERMAN THOMAS F. BYRNE, OF THE 29TH WARD, WHO IS ONE OF THE BEST FRIENDS OF THE COLORED RACE IN CHICAGO, LED THE MOVEMENT ON THE FLOOR OF THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE TAG DAY. It was stated in these columns last week that a special tag day would be held for the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses on Monday, October 31, but on that date some of the high city officials were not in the city, and, that being true, nothing could be accomplished in that direction until Wednesday afternoon at the regular meeting of the City Council, and, notwithstanding the fact that not so long ago the City Council passed an ordinance limiting the tag days in this city to three each year, the City Fathers, after listening to a short talk from Alderman Thomas F. Byrne of the 29th Ward, who is one of the best friends of the Colored race in this city, firmly decided to stretch a point and extend a helping hand to the Colored citizens of Chicago, especially the Colored men and women who are deeply interested in the Fort Dearborn Hospital. Alderman Byrne stated in his short talk that the colored people in this city have always been willing to help their white fellow citizens in the way of buying thrift stamps, Liberty Bonds, and so on, and that he personally knew many colored people who have contributed their mite to PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOME.

Williams; Treasurer—Mrs. Geraldine Witers; Directors—Miss Beatrice Mitchell, Mrs. Bertha L. Hensley, Mrs. F. C. Blevins, Mrs. Sylvia Mills, Mrs. Irene Moore. The officers were duly installed in a most pleasing manner by Mrs. Sadie Adams, president of the City Federation. The beautifully painted rooms, the brilliant electric lights, the tastefully gowned women, the splendid words of encouragement from the men made the evening one long to be remembered. Mrs. Lotena MRchell, the very gra assist the people in Ireland in their struggle for liberty and justice. It was nothing to it but the shouting when Alderman Byrne drew to a close, for he is always on the side of the poor, the down-trodden, and a great champion of Union Labor, and it was plainly indicated that Alderman Byrne is one of the most powerful leaders of the City Council. The following were among the many big chiefs of the city council who greatly assisted to uphold the arms of Alderman Byrne: Aldermen Michael Kenna, John J. Coughlin, Louis B. Anderson, Robert R. Jackson, Timothy A. Hogan, John A. Richet, Joseph B. McDonough, *Robert J. Mulcahy, Ross A. Woodhull, Seldon W. Gouier, Anton J. Cermak, Joseph Cepak, Samuel O. Shaffer, John G. Horne, George M.

Early in life he heard these ‘great patriots on the platform thender eloquence unknown in these times and imbibed as well the great lessons that ‘were-not only to set his people free from the bonds of slavery but to set tthe intellest of his people free. He was in the fray when the political ‘fecognition was given men of his race and he was exultant when our first U. S. Senator won his seat in the Breatest deliberative body in the world. He saw the great panoramic review of Negro congressmen in the legislative halls of congress. He knew the old guard; and witnessed the brightest. days of the reconstruction period.

THE PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN By Dr. M. A. Majors.

Mr. Williams went to trial and dur- ing the three days he tried the case of Joseph Lovings, who ‘was killed on the est See of Chicago, by a mob on July'29, 1919, as the first case tried. ‘At this hearing all of the witnesses were white; among them were a Cath- olic priest, in the person of Father Jones, connected with St Ignatius College; two.young business men, Mr. Dayiel Avotidne and Mr. Martin Avol- lone; Mr. Powell, a business man; Mr. Wellman, a barber for whom Mr. Joseph Lovings was employed; Mr. Friedman, Mr. Mucucei and Dr. ER.

They had tears in their eyes as they expressed their sympathy and their regret that such a thing had happened in their church. The service was ended and Mrs. Nelson and her family escorted the body to the cemetery where Mr. Nelson instead of the Rev. Parker, read the Episcopal service over the grave.

At once Graham ‘was intensely interested. Followi the world’ wir through which’ he served in the British arnty, Graham came to America and:walked over the same_ground which Sherman covered in his famous march to the sea. “He did not engage himself with the white folks so much as with the colored.

It is so finely written and worded in such attractive literary style, the State Register asked the privilege of publishing it. “I'm not seeking any publicity,” said “Charlie” with characteristic modesty, but the letter follows just the same: Hon, Vachel Lindsay, 3 S. Fifth Street, City: My Dear Sir: Early this moraing, about 4:30 a.m., I finished reading the “Soul of John Brown, by Stephen Graham, and I lam aware of the fact,that before this time, he has no doubt left our coun- try for his native land, and since I Ihave not his address, it is an impossi- bility for me to express in my humble way, my opinion of his writings, hence I am writing to you, filled with the idea that you aré perhaps in com- munication with him and will at least tell him that I read his “Soul of John Brown.” I did not simply read after the fash- jon of some men, but I let myself into the spirit of the undertaking, landed ‘with him in New York, visited with him the places of interest along the Neiw’England shore, rested: with him amid the hospitalities of Virginia, strolled, with bim again o'er the streets where I flew a kite as a boy in Knoxville, Tenn., went with him further south into the state.of Georgia and step by step saw the eonditon, whether it was good, bad/or indiffer- ent of my people.

Washington and Dr. Frisell are names of men who will live as long jas the American ‘youth of my face will have open to them the school room—and I should have said as long as time lasts. They have their places in history, although they have passed through what we call death, yet they live and will ever five. ‘When you speak of General Arm- ‘Strong, then there comes before you Hampton Institute, which is a beacon light in education. It has furnished to us thousands of men and women direct and indirect. For it is from that institation that comes the late Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute.. The giving to us of that great man was worth all that it todk to establish the school and the thousands of dollars that have been expended there since. It means much to put dollars in brains, and they bring back better interests as well as '@ bigger principal, That large investment was returned in the man Booker T. Washington, and the interest was the service he rendered to humanity.” The world knows that he lived and that he stil lives. April 5 is the time set apart to un- veil a monument, that being his birth- day. They tell me a monument, but all Tuskegee Institute is the monu- ment to Booker T. Washington, and the good deeds he has performed. 1 jam sure that General Armstrong has rejoiced in heaven over his wonderful work, Following in the footsteps of Gen- ‘eral Armstrong came William Hooper Councill, born a slave, and was sold through the famous Richmond (Va) slave market. He pprepared himself, and although born a slave, he was a Soe scholar and accomplished much for this people of ours. All over this country you will find side by. side, graduates from Hampton, Normal and Tuskegee Institute. Councill will never die in the hearts of the lovers of education and higher thought. He was a wonderful character. I have already told you that Dr. Booker T. Washington was a product of Hampton, and he put that great institution on the map raised a large endowment for it, and then folded his arms and returned to the God who gave him. He Jived well yester- day. He has done his work, and oth- ers are taking hold and pushing it as best they can. We all know Dr. Frissell, he suc- ceeded Dr. Armstrong. He was a great character, and was a man who was loved by all. God bless him, as I am sure he is now enjoying his eternal reward for the services he rendered. He was a man of the peo- ple, and all the people could reach him. His home was open to his friends and his life was a life of serv- ice. -He tried at all times to do what the Lord would have him do; say what the Lord would have him say, and go where the Lord would have him go. He served the peaple, and, of course, we got much of his time and attention during his days of ac- tivity. He was succeeded by a most remarkable character, Dr. J. E. Gregg, who is 2 Néw Englander, and a high- class, polished, Christian gentleman. He is a man who came to serve, and not with a chip on his shoulder ready to strike down he who would knock it Off. He wants to render the best service, and if he is at any time mis fnderstood and criticised, instead of striking back, he is ready and willing to give information, and invite you to come and sce. Because of his large heart, and great.mind, we are going to have a gréater Hampton Institute, and all because this wonderful char- acter lived and directed him to Hamp- ton. You find him at all times plead- ing-the cause of the people he serves; and ‘he 7 not ashamed t0-be-among them, ~ Do you ikdew! that-Hamigton fur- ished us the successor to'Dr.’ Booker T. Washington. It was ‘Dr. Robert R. Moton, a most wonderfal charac- ter, and 2 man who is spending his life for his people. He is pleading for us where we cannot do our own pleading. He act» white man, and T have never known any.time that he bas passed for a white man in order . enjoy certain privileges. He, like Booker T. Washington, is a product of ‘Hampton, and he worked his way through school. We are proud of him today. He is inspiring thousands of ere oat ae ' in the race, ant red” or, engl 16 Continns Ne.

Let us rally to the institutions that are reaching our people” and prepar- ing them for usefulness. Whether it be a college education, high school, business or trade, or professional, let the education be practicable. Let it be something that we can use every day and reap results. We need to be educated right to our people and not away fromethem. The masses should be able to get close enough to hand usa red apple. T have been going some since I wrote to you last, and I am still go- ing, because when you read this letter I will be in Wheeling, W. Va, and before you can get through reading it I will be way down in Texas, there trying to educate our people, I want them to know yoa and for you to know them. When you get to Texas or Georgia you are nearing the step- ping off place. I think when the earth is destroyed the two states named will be’ turned to the place of perpetual warmth, the place of fire where the wicked shall be consigned. There are good people-in Georgia and good peo- ple in Texas and good people in Mis- sissippi, but they will have to be changed to a more congenial clime. Prof. J. R. E. Lee has refigned from the high-school in Kansas City, Mo., and I understand that he is going into the Urban League work. I wish him well wherever he goes, for he deserves suecess. I am sure you want to know where I have been and what I have been doing since I wrote that other letter. T think I was down in Texas, with my “cussing” shoes on. I made a trip over to Dallas from Fort Worth, saw the jail ant the officer who refused to let a mob have a prisoner. Then I beat it back to Fort Worth, amd then made my way to Oklahoma City, where I remained a few hours, leaving there for McAlester, and spending a few hours in the city behind lock and key, I beat ‘it away to Muskogee. I am sure you will want to know what I was doing locked up for a few hours, and if 1 were doing anything at all it was feasting. Reaching the city, I went to the home of Rev. Frank Motley, and had a chat with his wife, Mrs. Ethel Mot- ley, and then I took hold of the hello box, asked for the penitentiary, and hed them to connect me with the re- formatory for boys. In this I talked with Prof. Lily, telling him that I was in town, and in a few minutes he had his automobile car carriage right down there to tote me out to the school. .It was earily in the morning. Out.I went, and soon “he had one of the most eatingest breakfasts for me, and into my eternity it went. Of course, when I went in the place, they turned the key for it is kept locked all the time. After eating I was assigned to a bed, and to sleep I went until 11:15 when I. got up and talked to the boys, and when this_was over, we beat it to Rev. W. R. Jack- son's for dinner. They have there in that institution about 100 boys and the aim is to save them. They were on the wrong road, and they had to be saved from ruin. In this place they are taught in the common English branches by good teachers, and then they are given a vocational training, but nothing to what it is going to be im the future. 1 want to congratulate Prof. Lily on the good work he is doing. In Muskogee I attended the Bap* tist State convention, and had a fint time there getting among them Bap- tists brothers and sisters. I will not be able to tell you about the conven- tion; for T was busy ‘with them, and it would take a whole Sareea you. aw Ithade it to’ Kantaé!City, St. Louis, Chicago.

N, Shaw, president, at 14 Corn- Lill, has issued the following bulletin ‘and appeal: ‘The widespread dissemination of ithe call of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. M, A. No Shaw. presi dent, for a National Equal Rights Armistice Day oBservance on Novem- ber Ilth or the following Sunday, November 13th, by the leading col- ‘ored newspapers vf the country, has aroused great interest in the move- ment and many such equal rights ‘observances are being planned. As these meetings serve the object ‘of justice in a double way, first by calling attention fo the violation of the cause for which our soldier boys gave their lives, and, second, by in- augurating a movement to send dele- gates to the Second World Democ- racy Congress of the league st Wash- ington, December 14-16, at the doors of the World Disarmament Confer- ence, it is very desirable that all ttfe meetings be united in one grand, co- operative whole. To this end, in accord with the call issued, the league asks that every- body join with the Equal Rights League in holding the meeting where there is one, or that a local league be formed for the purpose, or an Equal Rights Committee. Otherwise let the mas meeting or meetings be héld by any other organizations, or any churches or societies who will thus help the race. In all cases the chair- man or secretary is asked to send a note of what was done to the Corre- sponding Secretary of the league, W. Monroe Trotter, 34 Cornhill. Mass Meetings, which are to be a part of this Equal Rights movement for a National Race Convention at the doors of this 2nd World Peace Conference, from which our delegates cannot be kept this time by the de- nial of passports, can be arranged on brief notice because the race is in- terested in this Arms Conference. A month will then remain for arrang- ing to send delegates to this World Democracy Congress called and con- ducted by the League from local leagues, Equal Rights Committees, or any other face body. Credentials from any race body will entitle to full participation in the Congress. | —Wm. Monroe Trotter, Corr, Secretary. Valuable People. ~ The value of a single man or woman ‘of open mind, independent judgment, amd moral courage, who requires to be convinced and refuses to be cajoled, is only concerned to be right and not afraid to be singular, deferring to yeason but not to rank, true to thelt ‘own self, and therefore not false to ‘ny man—the value of such a man of woman, I say, is priceless; a nation of such would leaven and regenerate the ‘wortd—Professor James Ward.
