COMPELLED TO HONOR GRADY. Recently Atlanta, Georgia, had a gteat demonstration in honor of Hen- ry Grady, probably the most bitter enemy the colored people ever had and more dangerous because his en- mity was masked under protestations of friendship, which is usual in the South. Grady was the father of segrega- tion and the enactment of jimerow car laws and other schemes of segre- gation may be laregly ascribed to his preachments and influence. One of the features of the recent parade was a number of colored chil- dren who were placed at the tail-end of the procession and thus compelled to publicly honor the man whose life was spent in devising methods to de- grade the race. It was an atrocious thing to do, but ‘very southern.” If a parallel event had occurred in Ire- land, the Irish mothers would have given their child something to pro- duce sickness so that the children would not have been compelled to honor their enemies. One may not always be able to prevent being kick- ed, but it is not necessary to thank the one who administers the kick. FRIENDS. The writer reeently overheard a black man, just from the South, say: “I think the Southern whites are the best friends of my people.” He was dirty, ignorant and degraded and ut- terly unable to appreciate the differ- ence between the North and the South, but there are men, living in the South who make some pretences to education who have said the same. Of course they were looking for the “good nigger pat.” There are a few white people, very few, living in the South, who are Christians and who. are willing to ae- cord to colored people all the rights of citizenship, but the great majority are not friends in any sense of the word, unless jimcrow laws and cus- toms are evidences of friendship. And again some of the most pronounced enemies of the colored people are black and yellow men who are con- tinually saying things which make the whites hold the whole colored. rE Ne ee ee aN od ; a ea Be aa ge) Rr “Sp " oe a ee | Vs aris = i = as TA 3 i) a] Tan ca ‘ anol EN HOME OF W.

Some colored people denounce all white people. That lis unjust and wrong. Garrison, Lovejoy, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Phillips and thousands of others were who practically gave their lives to prove their friendship. And today John Haynes Holmes and thousands of others are better friends to the colored group, than some who, black in heart as well as in face, “cringe and bend the supple hinges of the Knee that thrift may follow fawning.” “SPECIAL ASSISTANTS Under the above heading the Wash- ington (D. C.) Tribune prints the following editorial, ‘The announcement of the appoint- ment of the Hon, Perry W. Howard by Attorney General Daugherty last week, to a “special” assistant-ship to the Attorney General, to look after fraudulent claims brought by Colored people against the government, pro- vokes this question: Where do we come in as a race in this appoint- ment? The Tribune is of the opin- ion that there is more involved in ‘these appointments of our supposed race leaders than a mere $5,000 salary. In fact, The Tribune is not elated over either of the three appointments that have been dished out to our group. They are nothing more than mere clerkships. The first one, that of Lieut. Flipper, is regarded as the best of the three. The last two, of Phil Brown and Perry Howard, apparently show that the pie hunters are tired of waiting and are willing to accept any old thing offered. Of what service is either of these ap- ointments to the race? Neither of these appointments come under the category of “Presidential appointments,” requiring their names to be sent up to the Senate for con- firmation. They have no definite status and may be cut out at any time. Therefore President Harding has not made a single appointment of a colored man during the 11 weeks of his administration. In a recent public address, Mr. Brown said that he “had no plans” for his department and in accepting the position he was not pleased with the paragraph setting forth the sta- tus of his position. Then why show the yellow streak and accept a posi- tion, the status of which does not meet with one’s moral sense of equity and justice? Yet the information is sent out that these appointments are of a great benefit to the race. ‘Why complain of segregation in the civil service, then turn around and accept a “special clerkship” where one is placed off in a segregated cor- ner and given insifinificant, segregat- ed duties? Is there consistency in this? If the Republican Party has a sense of appreciation for the con- stant and unfailing support of color- ed people, now is the time to demon- strate it. We are of the opinion that the G. 0. P. is long on promises, but short on fulfilling them. And our supposed race leaders, politicians, et al. should have the moral courage of their convictions and not fall for every worn-eaten plum that may be offered. Especially is this true in the case of Mr, Brown and Mr. Howard, who are in a financial position en- abling them to be more cautious in accepting these “special,” segregated, “assistant-ship.” The race is demand- ing appointments commensurate with its political power, its intelligence and taxpaying worth, and our polit- ical leaders should support us in this demand. eR Gl RO ee nad Bn” RSG A ee ene ees feet = a oe fa Daccal | ee TH ihe LeyD Rise ie ee tt ey IT Jed . ee 7 . ee =e | | bes rn Ae Pee == | A a a.

SRE, Se EEN a a Sane ames RM crow assistant” business was started during the world war, when the then secretary of war appointed a colored man as a “confidential clerk” as shown’ by the official records, It was given out that he was a “special as- sistant to the secretary of war,” and many of the people were deceived and really believed that a colored ‘man had been appointed assistant secretary of war. It was evidently a camouflage for that specific purpose. Those who were versed in such things knew that a real assistant secretary to any member of the President's cabinet, must be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Sen- ate. The so-called “special assistant” to the Democratic secretary of war was simply a “handy man” to act as ‘a buffer between Baker and the col- ored people when they came to make ‘complaints about the outrageous treatment of the colored soldiers in the jimerow cars and jimerow train- ing camps in the United States and in the labor battalions and on the firing line in France. The “special assistant” had no actual status as an official of the government. |_In the campaign of 1920, THE AP- 'PEAL called the attention of the Republican managers to the fact that in a previous campaign, Marcus A, Hanna had appointed three colored jmen as actual members of the Ad- visory Committee of the Republican | National Committee and advised that the same be done in the Harding. Cooldige campaign and that jim- |erowism be entirely eliminated. In |this THE APPEAL, was supported by ‘a number of prominent colored men from all parts of the country. Then ‘Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia [won for himself his place as Repub- lican national committeeman from JGeorgia, THE APPEAL was proud of his success which he had achieved ‘in spite of the efforts of Roosevelt ‘and other leaders to prevent his elec- jtion, and sent him a letter of- con- gratulation and suggested that he ought to be a memebr of the execu- tive committee of the party organ- ization and offered what little aid that could be thrown his way. He was asked to use his influence to pre- vent any segregation in the campaign, No reply came to this letter. On July 8, 1920, a second speciall delivery letter was sent to Mr. Johnson con- taining the following: “You should have been made a member of the executive committee of the Repub- lican National Committee. Many women, novices in polities were put on it—why not you? I had hoped that you would step into the inner circle of party management, Hope it is not yet too late, can anything be done?” No reply was ever received to this letter, but shortly after a special “colored” bureau was ongan- }ized with Mr. Johnson as the head and Mr, Perry Howard as secretary. THE APPEAL continued its work of trying to get pledges from the Republican party leaders that they would cut out segregation in the de- partments in Washington and else- where, if they were successful in electing their candidates, Howard [got hold of one of the letters ad- dressed to one of the Republican par- ty officials and replied in part as follows: “I, perchance came across a copy of your letter, and I find that you are true to your previous record in standing out for those things which affect our interests. I think, Ihowever, in this instance, you” press ‘the issue a bit too far.” * * * “You will recall that until the Demo- cratic party assumed control of af- fairs at Washington, there was no segregation at Washington. Then, why should we demand that the Repub- lican party be committed to opposi- tion to “jimerowism?” “You will re- call that prior to the reign of the Wilson oligarchy there was no color line in the United States Army. Then why should we demand that the Re- publican party conimit itself on this question?” After criticising THE APPEAL for endeavoring toeliminate the danger of segregation, it is not surprising that he now accepts an appointment ‘which carries less dig- nity than the place held by William H. Lewis under President Taft. Colored men have held representa tive places ‘under every Republican administration since the time Presi- dent Grant came into power, and even, under Democratic President Cleveland they were given honorable presidential appointments. Cleveland appointed Mr. Trotter, father of that valiant defender of the right, William Monroe Trotter, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, Frederick Douglass was at one time marshal of the District of Columbia, Blanche K. Bruce was Register of the Treasury and John M. Langston served as minister to Haiti and under’ the last Republican regime colored men were appointed, confirmed by the Senate and served in the following offices: Assistant Attorney General, Register of the Treasury, Auditor for the Navy, Recorder of Deeds for the Distict of Columbia, assistant Regis- ter of the Treasury, Collector of In- ternal Revenue at Jacksonville, Fla; Register of the Land Office, Mont- gomery, Ala; Collector of Internal Revenue, New York City; Receiver of Public Moneys, Little Rock, Ark; Collector of Customs, Washington, D. C.; Collector of Internal Revenue, Honolulu, Hawaii; Received of Pub- lie Moneys, Jackson, Miss.; Collector of Customs, Beaufort, S. C.; Collector of Customs, Georgetown, S C., and several otehrs, ‘These were all presidential appoint- ments and each’ one was confinmed by the Senate.’ In addition there were a number of special assistant district attorneys, deputy collectors of customs, deputy collectors of in- ternal revenue and other officialss who were appointed by the heads of the various departments, And under a former Republican administration a colored man served as minister to Santo Domingo. Without exception the colored men in presidential of- fices served the government faithful- ly and with credit to themselves and the group they represented, NOW READ THIS CAREFULLY: William H. Lewis of Massachusetts was appointed ASSISTANT ATTOR- NEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, a presidential appointment, confirmed by the Senate of the Unit. ed States. Perry Howard of Missis- sippi has been appointed SPECIAL ASSISTANT to the Attorney General of the United States. Lewis was an assistant ‘attorney general; Howard is an assistant to the Attorney General. There is a great difference in the status. Lewis was an official; How- ard is an assistant to an official and has been assigned to special work on the claims of colored people against the United States. If the matter stopped with Howard it would not make much difference, but it affects the citizenship status of every colored person in the country and segregates colored people from every other group of American citizenship, and establishes a dangerous precedent. Now after 400,000 colored men served in the war “to make the world safe for democracy, and with the Re- publican party, to which the colored voter has always been a faithful ally, in complete“ control of the govern- ment, it is infamous that the party leaders should insult the people by giving inferior appointments, and it is humiliating. to think that colored men will accept such places. It will be noted that the men appointed are Southerners. 7 Northern voters, who voted for the Republican nominees and whose votes were counted are not satisfied with what has been done. They feel that it would been better to have had nothing at all rather than inferior appointments, which tend to lower their status as citizens. Some high class colored men ought to get a few high class prresidential appointments just as under former Republican ad- ministrations. THE TULSA POGROM, ‘The riot at Tulsa, Oklahoma, rapid ly became a pogrom. Pogrom is the Russian word applied to massacres of Jews in Russia and Poland, The af- fair was as truly a pogrom as were the famous events at Bialystok an/ Kishinef. Saddest of all is the fact that the whole horrible affair was caused by the misuse of the word “assault,” which was probably done with mali? cious intent. A colored bootblack stepped into an elevator and on the foot of the white elevator conductor. She slapped the boy and he caught her by the wrist. She screamed and the boy was seized by a white man and turned over to the police with the statement that he had “assauls- ed” a white girl, The mob under- stood that to mean that he had raped her. This is not the first time that colored men who were possibly guilty of assault and battery were lynched for rape. In a speech before the National Business League, a colored organiza- tion, which met in Oklahoma in 1913, Booker Washington told the colored people of Oklahoma, not to worry about being segregated but to build up the sections which had been as- signed to them and they would make friends and. be respected by the whites. ‘The one great lesson to be learned from the horrible affair at ‘Tulsa is that segregation and herding togeth- er are dangerous. The Jews have found it so in Europe, because it makes the work of the mobs easier. ‘The fate of Tulsa colored people wipes out the theories of Washington, Moton & Company. REPRESENTATION REDUCED. Representation in the has been re- duced, not in the Congress as it should have been, but in the Repub- lican national convention. The scheme was adopted by a vote of 36 to 12, but not without portest. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia member, described the report as an attempt by the Republicans “to pe- nalize we people of the South whose only crime has been voting for such men as McKinley, Roosevelt and Ha:- ding.” ‘The committee had refused to demand that its party in congress enact laws carrying out the four- teenth and fifteenth amendments to ‘the .Constitution which would give the party additional votes in the South, Johnson said: “You are about to pronounce sen- tence on us,” Johnson shouted, “Why do you put through this thing, jam it down our throats, instead of making your majority perform in congress?” Committeeman Remmel of Arkansas also voiced a strong protest, against being disfranchised, WORK ENOUGH HERE. Without questioning the sincerity of the pan-Afriean propagandists we do not believe such work is feasible at this time. To use a strong expres- sion the colored people of the United States are, “in a hell of a fix,” just now. ‘And again, the colored people of the United States are Americans and not Africans. Their duty is at home, and God knows there is work enough here to employ all the brains and money the race can command for an hundred years to come. What have we to offer the South and Central Americans and West In- dies which is superior to what they now have? There is little chance t do anything in Africa. Why fritter away time chasing a jack o’ lantern Would it not be better to clean’ ow ‘own house before we attempt te clean up the world? When the Unit- ed States has been redeemed it wil be time enough to start to clean up other lands, =——— FILIPINOS DESIRE FREEDOM. The dispatches say the Igorrotes told the Wood-Forbes mission, now in the Philippines, that they did not care for freedom, but preferred U. 8. rule, The Igorrotes are dog-eaters and a doggone dirty ignorant lot. The intelligent Filipinos desire the freedom and independence which the United States promised them. Here in the U. S. there is a class of color- ed men who eat chicken instead of dog, but are lower than the dog- eaters because they cringe and fawn and say they do not wish their rights. And now comes the Philippine mission at Washington and says that the dog-eaters were inspired by American Christian missionaries. And further the Filipinos state in their bulletin that the “Manila business men” who voiced opposition to in- dependence are not Filipinos at all, but white Americans. Can you beat it? ANTI-LYNCHING BILL. Representative L. C. Dyer, Repub- lican of Missouri, has introduced a bill in Congress providing that per- sons accused of lynching shall be tried in Federal instead of State courts, and that those found guilty of participating in lynchings shall suffer the death penalty. Every one ought to get behind this bill and push its passage. It is infinitely bet- ter than the McCormick bill which authorizes a. commission to “study” lynching. No study is necessary; the facts are patent. Minnesota has done her part by enacting an anti-lynch- ing law. Now give us a national law. OWN YOUR HOME, There are 6,000,000 homes in the United States owned by their oc: cupants, who number not less than 30,000,000. The greater proportion of these homes are in the country and the smaller towns, for occupancy of rented homes is largest in the cities. With nearly a third of the people of the country living in homes they own, there is no danger of bolshevism gain- ing any headway here. A colored woman in Cincinnati was called a “nigger woman” by a street car conductor. She sued the com- Pany and got a verdict for $600.00. Another colored woman who was in- jured during the riots in Bast St. Louis has recovered $2,000. ‘The Peruvian navy is being reor- ganized under the direction of the U.S, naval. mission, Will they bar colored Peruvians as the U. S. does its colored citizens. Well hardly. 1f they do’ there'll be no navy: Judge Francis E. Baker of the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals in Chicago is slated to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Chief Jastice White of the United States Supreem Court, aecording to reliable reports.

On last Monday afternoon the funeral of Mr. Jerry Lee was held at his late residence, 994 Iglehart Ave. o'clock, where a short family service was conducted by Rev. B. H. Hodge and at 2:30 o'clock at Pilgrim Baptist Church. The church was comfortably filled by friends who were to pay their last tributes of respect for one none knew but to love. The usual opening services were performed, followed by the ritualistic funeral service of Mars Lodge No. 2202, H. O. O. O. F. A solo, "Perfect Day" was sung by Mrs. Eleanor Smith, also a requested song, "Never Alone," was sung by the choir. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. B. H. Hodge, who very touchingly paid high tribute to the sterling qualities of the deceased. He also read the following obituary: Mr. Jerry Lee was born in Atlanta, Ga., August 17, 1869, and departed this life Friday, June 3, 1921, aged 53 years. He was a man well known in practically nearly every large city in this country. He was united in marriage to Miss Lula Johns, of Boonville, Mo., March 27, 1908, at Sioux City, Iowa, and in this union one son was born. The deceased and his little family resided in Sioux City until six years ago when they came to St. Paul to make their home here. Mr. Lee was a well known and familiar figure in Sioux City for many years as he held the esteem and love of all the good citizens. Owing to the fact that he was ill most of his life here, he did not get to mingle with the people as he would have liked and add to his host of friends. For the past 10 months he was confined to his home, and most of that time to his bed of suffering almost unbearable at times. Given up by several physicians he clung to his little family, with such strength, uplifted by the hopes and faith of his wife, until he could stand it no longer. The wife urgently requested him to let go and the Master would relieve him speedily, and within the hour he said, "Yes, dear, I give up." He prayed continually that the Master would take him home and grant him the request that he might have one last look at his wife and boy. He became unconscious at 11:00 a.m. Thursday and did not regain consciousness until a few moments before 12:25 Friday morning, when his prayer was answered. He opened his eyes, looked first at his wife and then at his boy, closed his eyes and a peaceful expression illuminated his face. All through his suffering he was never known to be cross or complain, always smiling and cheerful when not in actual misery—and many times while suffering. His wife devoted her entire time to administering to his wants, until it seemed she could stand it no longer, then the change came. The deceased was a charter member of Sioux City Lodge No. 4655 G. U. O. O. F., and held the office of Noble Grand six years in succession. He also was a charter member of Household of Ruth No. 4961. He sojourned with Mars' Lodge of St. Paul. He was a charter member of an Elks Lodge that failed to function and owing to the state of his health MONDAY EVE., JUNE 13 Red Wing and Barge Manitou he could not become an active member of Gopher Lodge No. 105 I. B. P. O. E. W., but he was elected as an honorary member. He was also a member of the Sterling Club. He was a man who loved prayer and enjoyed many prayers that were offered by the faithful deacons of the church. He gave himself to Christ about nine years ago in Sioux City, and joined the A. M. E. church as there was no minister in charge of the Baptist church at that time. At the first opportunity he united with Pilgrim Baptist church of this city, and lived the Christian life in deeds as well as in words. He leaves, to mourn their loss a devoted wife, a son Bernard, aged 10 years; a daughter by a former marriage, Mrs. Anna Mae Asteu, of Sioux City; a son-in-law, Mr. Mansfield Asteu, and a host of friends everywhere. This obituary could not be properly closed without mentioning the sterling qualities of the man. His home life was ideal, the word "No" was not known in his vocabulary, at home or with friends. He was familiarly known to every one as, "Uncle Jerry," but "Dad" or "Father" would have been the truer name. He was never known to speak evil of any one, and it was but to know him to know that he was a man among men. At the close of the sermon the ritualistic funeral service was conducted by the officers and members of Gopher Lodge No. 105. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. The pall bearers were: J. B. Johnson, T. W. Stepp, W. A. Yeiser, S. E. Hall, M. Duncan and V. W. Howard. Simpson & Wills funeral director. Interment at Oakland cemetery. CARD OF THANKS. We desire to acknowledge with sincere gratitude the kindness of many friends in our deepest sorrow in the loss of a devoted husband and father; to all who sent floral tributes, telegrams and letters of condolence. Especially are we grateful to Mr. G. W. Wills and Mr. W. T. Matthews, who stayed with us during the latter part of the illness of our dear departed, and proved that, "a friend in need is a friend indeed." Lula M. Lee G. Bernard Lee Anna Mae Asteu At the close of the Elks' service, Mr. G. W. Wills read the following resolutions from the Sterling Club: Whereas, it has seemed wise by the Almighty to have issued the last summons to our brother-member, Jerry Lee, and since it is thus that each of us must eventually and individually answer that same call which carry our souls in safety to the shores of the Eternal Great Beyond: Be it Resolved by us as fellow Sterling Club members of the departed Jerry Lee, that we, having sojourned along with him during his temporal existence, and having found in him a rare exemplification of the sterling qualities of manhood, honesty, uprighteousness, love of home and fear of God, we hereby engross his memory in everlasting characters upon the open pages of Sterling Club history and the history of this community: And, be it Further Resolved, that we bow in sorrow with his beloved widow and family, though we rejoice with them that this man lived and labored not in vain.
