THE APPEAL has noticed in several papers the organization of the Federal Employees' League composed of colored federal employees, which we believe is a great mistake and will only serve to increase the segregation now practiced in Washington. There is already a Federal Employees' Union in which no color line is drawn and to which federal employees of all races, creeds and colors are admitted, so the formation of a segregated organization is not only not necessary but positively dangerous. It is not surprising that Perry W. Howard is the president of the organization. The article refers to him as a Special Assistant Attorney General, which he is not. Mr. Howard is Special Assistant TO the Attorney General which is quite a different thing. It is a segregated place. How the men who have gone into this organization can hope to eradicate segregation by segregating themselves is not clear. The colored federal employees should become members of the union which is open to all and work in harmony with their brother employees of various races, creeds and colors. Men and women, do not segregate yourselves. TROUBLE WITH THE SOUTH. In an article in the Smart Set Mr. H. L. Mencken, a Southern man, says, that the South is still suffering from the debacle of fifty-six years ago. He says: "That debacle almost obliterated civilization in the whole region, and so the surviving Confederates took to sentimentalizing the civilization that had collapsed and departed. That sentimentalization, in the end, became a sort of sacred duty, a benevolent mania, a furious and unintelligible cult, and the Southerner himself a walking sarcophagus of dead ideas. The result was that human thought in the whole region was reduced to a mere poll-parroting of formulae. The Southerner became the most indiotic patriot ever heard of in terrestrial history. Everything Southern took on sacrosanity in his eyes, from the swinish politics of the job-seekers who herded the cracker and Confederate veteran vote to the barbarian theology of the Methodist and Baptist dervishes, from the pious nonsense of the roving Prohibitionists, free-silver fanatics and generalized chaunduquans to the revolting indecencies of the Southern cotton-mill THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes coward The human race has test.

To question these platitudes became downright dangerous to life and limb." "PEARL GOOD" A MISNOMER. That, "there is nothing in a name," has been decidedly verified in Portland, Ore. Pretty, blue-eyed Pearl Good, aged seventeen years, has confessed to having committed forty-six burglaries. Her plunder consists of money, jewelry, clothing, toilet articles, etc. She is one of a family of eight children, is average in dress, manner and speech, and is not at all "hard boiled" though evidently a bad egg. In nearly every one of her robberies entry was made by means of a latchkey, and the fair "lady Raffles" says the average housewife leaves her doorkey "hidden" in places most easily discovered by the housebreaker. This rare Pearl evidently saw some of the film pictures of that great artist, Pearl White, and emulated her example. A SHAFT OF JEFF DAVIS. It will be recaled that Louisville, Kentucky never yielded allegiance to the illegal Confederate government and yet the Daughters of the Confederacy have selected that city as the site for a monument 351 feet high to the memory of Jefferson Davis. Davis was in no sense a great statesman, simply a clever politician, but as an ardent advocate of the Confederacy whose capstone was slavery, he typifies a doctrine which cost our country a million lives and a billion in sold. The monument will serve no useful purpose as the cause it glorifies is dead. The Daughters of the Confederacy ought to devote the money they will spend on the Davis shaft to aiding the veterans who fought to preserve our liberties, rather than waste it on a memorial to the man whose life was given to the destruction of his native land. WERE THE CARDS STACKED? Twenty-three years ago the United States occupied the Philippine Islands, promising independence for the Filipinos in about twenty years or as soon as the natives were "qualified for freedom." Shortly after coming into power the present Republican administration sent a mission consisting of Gen. Leonard Wood and W. Cameron Forbes to investigate present conditions and the report just made, which will not reach Washington for five or six weeks, recommends that the United States must keep the islands. Two months ago, long before the investigation had been completed, Gen. Wood was nominated for governor. Did Uncle Sam stack the cards on the liberty-loving Filipinos? NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT. NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT. Bearing a Tuskegee date line, an excerpt from the London (England) Times is going the rounds of the press, lauding the head of Tuskegee Institute; and it says among other things: "Dr. Moton is the leader of Negro thought in the U. S." This statement needs some qualification. Moton was put in as head of the school because the interests which support it wished him there as a mouthpiece through which they could express THEIR thoughts. Emmett J. Scott was the logical candidate for the place, but it is said that at the For Good Guaranteed Prompt S For Good Coal Guaranteed Weights Prompt Service Place Your Order With THE C. REISS COAL CO.

That decided the matter. THE APPEAL does not underestimate the strength of Dr. Motona. He has powerful interests behind him and he has a large following, but he is in no sense a great thinker or a leader in thought. There are thousands of colored men who are in every way superior intellectually and yet are not hampered by some of the traits he has shown. Specifically, in the matter of his alleged refusal to protest against the ejection of his wife from a Pullman sleeper several years ago, his alleged speeches to the colored soldiers in France, and his continual laudation of the South in his public utterances. Dr. Moton has recently written a book called, "Finding a Way Out," but as a reviewer said, he seemed to be "getting in deeper." Although written in grammatical English, there are no "high lights" and certainly no evidences of great thought or literary ability. To the most casual observer, "Major" Moton is not a leader in thought, but a follower, who not only thinks, but says that which pleases the South, and as a reward the South gives him not justice for the people he is picked to represent, but a pat on the back as a "good negro." "SPECIAL.EXPERT." The following from the Richmond Planet upholds THE APPEAL'S contention and says truly that the policy will serve to "fan the flames of race prejudice:" Hon. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle, Washington, who was recently appointed Director of the United States Veterans' Bureau, has seen fit to appoint Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., "Special Expert" in this department to look after the interests of colored ex-service men. This is a fitting recognition of one of our ablest leaders. Nevertheless, it emphasizes the drawing of the color line against which the far-sseeing leaders of the colored people in this country have protested without seeming effect. Under this ruling, it may soon be expected that Irish-American citizens will be appointed only with the understanding that they shall look after the Irishman's interests. Hebrews will look after those affairs, which affect the Jews. Indians will be appointed to look after the interests of the Indians, the Germans to look after the Germans. Italians to look after the interests of the Italians, and so on. Dr. Crossland gave an only son to the cause in Europe and as a result, he is confined in his operations to the race with which his son was identified. We understand now, that collored men will hold offices all right, but these offices will be confined to work amongst the colored people exclusively. This will fan the flames of race prejudice rather than stamp out the crowning infamy of this age. Financially, we may be benefited, but as a matter of fundamental principle, we are needlessly humiliated and our progress in the direction of full American citizenship and its attendant privileges checked for many years to come. (From the Chicago Whip.) Dr. J. R. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo., has been appointed to handle the claims of the black veterans of the late World War. The claims of the od Coal eed Weights Service black soldiers are the same as those of the white and Dr. Crossland has really accepted a Jim Crow job. Perry Howard, another prominent "Uncle Tom" politician, also accepted a Jim Crow job. As long as we take these political handouts, as long as our "leaders" are too hungry to refuse them, of course they will be tendered our race. (APPEAL Editorial Sept. 3, 1921.) THE APPEAL is sorry to note that the color line has been drawn in the new Veterans' Bureau by the organization of a "Colored Division" and the appointment of Dr. J. R. A. Crossland as its head. Crossland lost a son who fell "fighting for democracy" in France, and it is a poor reward for the father to be given a segregated bureau. It is also said that he was an effective speaker in the last campaign, in which it was given out that the Republican party would abolish segregation in the departments at Washington. If these things are true Crossland deserves better treatment at the hands of the victors, and he also should have refused the appointment as undemocratic and demanded the same treatment as is given to other groups of American citizens. One Lasker, a Jew, was made head of the U. S. Shipping Board. Representatives of other racial groups have been given places, but not in segregated bureaus. No President of the United States would dare offer a Jew a place as the head of a segregated Jewish bureau. There is no such place and never will be. Only colored people are segregated by this alleged democracy. Some people may think that the "special" appointments which have been handed out by the present Republican administration are forward movements, but they are really nails in the coffin of democracy and are dangerous to the social and political status of the colored people. The Administration ought to cut out these "special" jobs, eliminate segregation which was promised in the campaign, and if colored men are to have appointotions let them be on a level with those given to other groups of American citizens. Better no places at all than those which lower the status of the race and automatically make their holders defenders of segregation. SOUTHERN "FORWARD" BUNK. Recently there was a laymen's conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, held at Lake Junalaska, N. C., and one Rev. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Ga., took the stage and said: "The next big forward step in the inter-racial readjustment is to come from the South, and the reason for it is perfectly apparent. The South can afford to do it. Then too the South has the social prestige to do this. The social question figures largely in the race question. So the South can, when it will take the leadership in inter-racial co-operation. I believe that the South will assume the leadership with the same sort of pride and determination as it led the nation. It has been the universal opinion of those who have come in close touch with the question that Negro leaders do not desire or seek social equality. They have asked for police protection, better housing and living conditions and a chance to develop into useful American citizens with every determination to maintain their own social life and the purity of the two racial stocks." It is true that some of the jim-crow "leaders" of the South have said that they do not want anything but police protection and do not care to vote, etc., ad nauseam, but the colored people of the North will fight to the last ditch against any scheme of the South to impose its plan of settlement upon the country. They know that the South has, in all its "forward" movements proceeded like the crab—backward. They know that the colored citizens of the South have been disfranchised, discriminated against, segregated, degraded in every way, denied education, lynched, burned at the stake. There have been riots and lynchings in the North, but never a burning, and for every lynching in the North there have been 50 in the South. Nowhere in the South have the colored people any part in the local government, and first of all they wish the right to vote and participate in the governments under which they live. The colored people know that the so-called Christian church has remained dumb for 50 years in spite of growing anarchy, and now when it speaks it comes with a jimcrow plan. And as usual the South talks of "social equality." The real intelligent colored people all over the country do not wish to be segregated from other American citizens in the enjoyment of CIVIL RIGHTS. They do not wish to be designated as pariads. This has nothing to do with intermarriage, and it is the veriest rot to say that it means intermarriage for white and colored people to ride in the same car or to go to the same library. In the North, where there are no jimcrow laws, colored and white people go together in public places without intermarriage. Marriages between white and colored people are so rare that when they occur, and that is seldom there is a long story in the papers about the event. In the South where there are ly all of the UNLAWFUL mixing goes on as it is promoted by the difference in the social status of the white and colored people. The surest way to "maintain racial purity" would be to repeal all of the Southern jim-crow laws. So long as the colored people are a voteless people and on a lower social and civil plane, the illegal racial mixing will continue. That is history. In his enumination of what the colored people desire, Rev. Alexander omitted two of the most important things—the right to vote and the aobition of public segregation. There is absolutely no hope of a settlement of the race question on just American lines if the South is to have the leadership, especially if that leadership is to eb vested in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which has ever been the foe of the colored people from the time of the split over slavery in the forties up to the present time when the church refuses to merge with the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, because the latter church elected colored bishops. PLEASE GIVE ONE DOLLAR ! Fourteen hundred claims have been filed against the city and county for property burned during the riot—value of property burned nearly $5,000,000. Fifty colored men have been indicted. The city will not permit the people to rebuild their property unless they build brick; therefore thousands are living in tents with winter fast approaching. About $4,000 has been raised by the Colored Citizens Relief Committee and N. A. A. C. P. If 8,000 colored men will give a dollar the cause will be saved. WON'T YOU GIVE A DOLLAR TO HELP THESE PEOPLE?

GETTING HARNESSED UP WITH THE CHURCH. By E. W. Gilles. The greatest happiness is in the greatest usefulness. The horse running loose out on the Western plains, has a care-free and labor-free life; and, a certain kind of enjoyment. But let him become harnessed up and yield himself to the harness and respond to the calls for service which come to him, he will be far more useful and, if he is capable of it, far more happy. The care-free life of one who is not harnessed up to some definite usefulness, falls off of the greatest and most abiding joy. How seasons of hilarity and seasons of depression often follow each other in such a case! The church has a wonderful work on hand, and needs you in it. When pluck gets busy, luck takes a back seat.

The table was very prettily decorated. There was a large cake covered with candles on one end for Mrs. Anderson and a smaller one with one candle on it at the other end for little Carrie Earline. Dainty re- freshments were served. A distin- guishing feature of the occasion was the presence of four generations. The congregation of Memorial Bap- tist church, Rice and Fuller Sts., is airing its differences in the district court. Rev. T. J. Carr came to the church from Iowa about four years ago. In May, 1921, he tendered his resignation as its pastor.and it was accepted by a regular meeting. Later this act was rescinded. September 30th it is alleged that the pastor read out the names of several members who were to be expelled. Attorney W. T. Francis has "bean engaged to represent several members of the gongregation who oppose Rev. Carr. Since his pastorate Rev. Carr has paid off the church indebtedness and paid off other indebtedness amounting to $450, he alleges. It will be re- membered that some years ago the congregation of Pilgrim Baptist church split and a faction thereof es- tablished Memorial Rantist church.

LOUIS ERVIN. Mrs. Evans is given the credit, for regaining her freedom, as her story of the circumstances leading up to, and, description ~of the” tragedy Wednesday afternoon was declared to be the most dramatic recital heard in Ramsey county courts in years. Steps which have been taken to annual a contract for the home which she and her husband were purchas- ing at the time of the killing, now will be opposed. Under the law the wife could not, inherit the property of her husband had she been found guilty. The woman killed her husband, she testified, after he had told her of his affairs with another woman and had threatened her—Pioneer Press. This case was a great victory for Attorney J. Louis Ervin, who defend- ed Mrs. Evans, and re-establishes his reputation as being one of the best ceamnevs in the city of St. Paul.— TEL, FOREST 7787 WE CALL AND DELIVER \ MERCHANT TAILOR REMODELING, CLEANING AND PRESSING LADIES WORK A SPECIALTY 420 UMIvERsiTY AVE.
