The Appeal

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. President Harding and Social Equality (From The Nation, New York.) (From The Nation, New York.) Find fault with the President after he has gone straight into Southern territory and come out plump for the colored man's political and economic rights, and the necessity of giving him an education equal to the white man's? Why then cavil at any single phrase of the President? Why not overlook his one unfortunate utterance in order to bestow upon him unqualified praise? Because that one reference to social equality—"men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality"—fell like a lash upon every thoughtful colored man and offset much of the good Mr. Harding did. Even in far-off Buenos Aires it called forth protests; the national Argentine Socialist convention at once interpreted Mr. Harding as meaning that the condition of "the ten millions of colored population in the great republic will be eternally one of inferiority and subordination," and emphatically protested against it. True, the phrase quoted sweetened the rest of the dose for the South and saved the emperor from coars abuse and fanatical dehumanization as a "nigger lover" and from the charge of "insulting the South." Yet it would have been far better had he never uttered it, for by it he played into the hands of all who justify any discrimination against the colored man. At least he should have defined just what he meant by social equality. If he had in mind intermarriage only, he should, in justice to himself and to the colored man, have said so. Unfortunately the phrase covers a multitude of sins. It is the excuse for endless aggression and wrongdoing by the "superior race." In the final analysis in the South social equality invariably whittles down to the relations of black men with white women, and in order to prevent them multitudes of our white Americans in the South honestly think themselves justified in resorting to any measures down to torture and burning. So certain are they that this must not be tolerated that they seek to prevent any approach to it by even forbidding colored people the use of public libraries, to say nothing of public carriers. Hardly an hour goes by in the life of a black adult without there being driven in upon his consciousness a realism that a rebellion against the freedom of all its citizens and their equality of opportunity he bears upon his brow the badge of shame and of deliberately classified inferiority. So President Harding ought to have informed us whether he meant by his words on social equality to approve of the jimcrow car, the denial of all cultural opportunities in theaters, in concert and lecture halls to colored people, and the unending discrimination against them in restaurants and hotels and in practically every walk the man is supposed to have he is opposed to that precious bit of Wilson wrongdoing, the segregation of the colored man in the departments at Washington. Until Mr. Harding does speak out on these questions which more mean to the colored man than anything else, which daily bend his back, scarify his soul, and make every educated colored mother look upon her children and ask whether she can justify to them their being colored, and think through the problem nor can he render the full service which we believe he desires to render, which we honor him for seeking to render. Without in the least urging intermarriage we must protest against the President's propaganda of "fundamental, eternal, and inescapable race differences." We have no quarrel whatever with those of either race who urge what they call racial purity. But the true method of control in this matter is by a sound social public opinion and not by laws, nor by the branding iron, nor that slow fire which in the Middle Ages was relied upon to prevent the spread of Protestantism. These measures are as ineffective as they are cruel and debasing. The laws against intermarriage in the South are the most effective promoters of immorality and of concubinage and they place the black woman at the mercy of the white man without redress. As a matter of fact, statistics prove that where marriage is permitted the amount of it is negligible. We may rest assured that if racial intermarriage is socially unwise and racially destructive, nature herself will take a hand and control it without men's having to resort to crime to check it. But in the last analysis anyone who believes in individual freedom and liberty must believe in the right of every sound individual to seek his mate where he will and if necessary to pay the price for deed in social ostracism which the court may impose of adding legal penalties. Once more we repeat that if racial admixture is not prevented by the instinctive disinclination of the races, it will not effectually be prevented by denying to one of them the ordinary courtesies which individuals earn by their conduct or deserve by their essential humanity. What Mr. Harding has yet to see is that if the colored man obtains the economic freedom, the political freedom, and the boon of education which he craves for him this whole question of race relationship will at once adjust itself on a far nobler and better basis; that as long as the question of social equality is made the excuse for abuse, ill treatment, and the denial of rights sacredly guaranteed by the Constitution it works infinite harm to the whites who thus make of their republic an hypocrisy and defile their own souls by sponsoring injustice and wrong. There is something sadly wrong with a racial integrity which must be preserved in that manner. Moreover, if there are "fundamental, eternal, and inescapable race differences" they will take care of the situation themselves.

(Editorial reprinted from THE APPEAL, St. Paul, Minn.) President Harding recently made two speeches in the South, one at Birmingham, Ala., the other at Atlanta, Ga., on the race question, in which he displayed a remarkable lack of information on the subject evidently due to the face that he had stunned only one side of the question. Of the Mr. Harding is right, when he says that the colored man should have political, educational and economic rights, but he is wrong when he says that he is not entitled to every right to which every other group of Americans is entitled. The president has no right to say that one-eighth of the population of the United States must be differentiated in any way from the other seven-eighths. In his special message to the Congress which met March 4, Mr. Harding said that he looked with favor on the idea of the appointment of an inter-racial commission to study racial conditions in the United States. There was no need for haste in answering the question, could not have been studied properly in the short time since he, in June 1921, announced his intention to do owing to his many and pressing official duties, and it seems that the THE APPEAL.

GARLAND LUGGAGE SHOP SIXTH AT CEDAR At the SIGN of the HANTHAM RED X President has taken advantage of an opportunity and thrust his views upon the public ear, for the purpose of creating a sentiment in favor of his ideas on the subject, which were evidently obtained from individuals and books, favorable-to the, South but inimical to the real interests of the colored people. The President erroneously confounds "social equality" with amalgamation. He says that amalgamation cannot be, but it exists, it has always existed and always will exist. The combined efforts of the law and public opinion have failed to tie mixing of the races. Throughout the ages there has been so much racial mixing that today the scientists and ethnologists agree that there is no such thing as a pure race. In no other country on the globe has there been more racial mixing than in the United States which is the melting pot of the world. The majority of the people of the United States are mixtures of various races and the greater part of this majority is composed of people with more or less Negro blood. The racial mixing of the South is almost wholly illegitimate as the laws make marriage between the races a crime. Now as to social equality, that exists in some part of the United States and is likely in those parts of the country which has less of social equality that the colored people have any rights which the white people respect. The very words, "social equality" imply that all rights are secure. In the South there is We purchased the entire sample line of Bags and Suit Cases from the Belber Traveling Goods Co.

GARLAND LUGGAGE SHO SIXTH AT CEDAR The contempt for the colored man is largely due to his inferior social status, which extends through all human relationships in that benighted section of the country. Even at the speech of the President the colored people were segregated and the dispatches say, "In the white section there was a silence which was absolute and stony, only one light flutter of applause came when the President said, "The Negro should be encouraged to be the best possible Negro and not the best possible imitation of white man, as seemed please a few of the whites evidently visioned a "good Negro" of slavery days, who hat in hand bowed low when "ole massa" approached. The South has a queer idea of social equality. In the North "social equality" in its narrow sense, intimate social mingling in private house parties, dances, pink teas, etc. In the South the idea is distorted so that it includes civic rights, hence the jimcrow car, the jimcrow school, the jimcrow library, the jimcrow park, the jimcrow telephone booth and so on ad nauseam. When Harding was a candidate for President, THE APPEAL, doubted that he would give colored people a square deal and was not disposed to support him but we were reassured by letters signed by Chairman Hays and Hill and Mills and Republican, as well as the jimcrow campaign bureau that he would be just to his allies.

Then came a speech to a number of colored delegations from the Harding front porch, which began with, "Fellow Americans" and ended with, "Colored men, America will not fail you." These assurances caused THE AP-PEAL to give candidate Harding enthusiastic support. Our support, probably, had little to do with the victory, but is mentioned to show that this paper was not prejudiced against him. After distinct ored peel the "or lousily group of country women, America will not fail you." These assurances caused THE AP-PEAL to give candidate Harding enthusiastic support. Our support, probably, had little to do with the victory, but is mentioned to show that this paper was not prejudiced against him. Soon after the President assumed his duties it was noticed that he seemed to forget his promises, Segregation in the departments at Washington was continued, three or four jimcrow colored men were appointed to jimcrow government positions. Colored youth were segregated in the army training camps and colored men were not allowed to enlist in the navy. In every way the Harding administration has stood for the segregation of colored citizens and it is sad to relate that some jimcrow men accept this jimcrow settlement of matters. THE APPEAL does not believe, as Mr. Harding puts it, that there is a "fundamental, eternal and unescapable difference between the races" To do so would be to challenge God and Christianity. It is a distinct departure from the ideals of the founders of the Republic who declared that "all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life liberty and the pursuit of happiness." After his argument in favor of a distinct place for the black and colored people, Mr. Harding tells us that the "one thing we must most seduously avoid is the development of group and class organizations in this country." He argued against the very thing which he has previously argued for. There are just as many differences between the individuals of any one race as are between the peo-ler of any number of races. The idea of race differentiation in any form in the past has been the question of the government, and in public association is contrary to a just concept of a democracy in which all men are presumed to be equal, and is repugnant to the highest ideals of the Christian's God, who is declared to have made of one blood all nations of men. If Mr. Harding is right, God is wrong. If Mr. Harding had had the time to study the question and he had studied it with an open mind he would have found that in France, Spain and Portugal, there have never been any racial hatreds founded on the color of the skin and the same is true of South and Central America. In these countries, unhampered by class and color distinctions colored men have risen to the highest places in every branch of human endeavor. There are more blacks than whites in England in the United States; and counting the mixed-blood population of black Indian and white, and the pure whites, the population totals over 30,000,000 who live together in perfect harmony without any public differentiation of If you have ought that's fit to sell, Use printer's ink, and use it well. $2.40 PER YEAR race. There are no social barriers whatever in Brazil and it is a complete refutation of the idea that there must be social bars between the men and women who are citizens of a country. Color differentiation means the ascendancy of one caste and the degradation of the other. Social equality does not necessarily mean amalgamation. That should be matter for individuals to determine. During the coming disarmament parley, the Japanese will be treated with the greatest social consideration. They will be wined and dined and received at every social function, meeting people who in their hearts hold hatred toward them, and in spite of all the social mingling it is safe to say that not a single marriage will result. In a democracy like ours, all men, whether they are black or white, red, yellow or brown, should meet in all human relationships without racial differentiation—simply as AMERICANS. Condems President's Conception of American Citizenship. (From the Afro-American, Baltimore) President Harding the Birmingham speech is being criticised by colored people because it promises the colored race too little and by the white people because it promises too much. The ten thousand colored people who listened to the President appeal for political and educational equality for them, cheered because they know that their own state disfranches them by the thousands and robs them of millions of dollars of school funds. His twenty thousand white hearers were correspondingly silent. On the other hand President Harding subscribed to the white South's view of "social equality," which means intermarriage laws, jincrow street cars and railways, no political offices for colored people and discrimination at every point of contact between the two races. Carried out its logical conclusion the President would sanction a separate school for the hundred colored families in Bangor Me., separate cars for the Boston bourne, and a discussion of the Methodist Episcopal church. It comes with poor race from a President of the United States to thunder "Race amalgamation, there cannot be" and close his eyes to millions of mulattoes in this country who represent the lust of the white race. We ardently believe with the President that colored people should divide their votes, but we should have preferred to hear him say so before his election rather than after it. The Afro-American admires the President's courage, believes in his sincerity, but condemns his conception of American citizenship, his ignorance of the history of civilization and his bad taste Complete Surrender to Lily-White. (From the Independent, Atlanta, Ga.) "I will not appoint any colored men to office in the South. Sink or swim, survive or perish, live or die, I shall stand to this position?" Is that in accordance with his great utterances of political equality at Birmingham? On the contrary does it not contradict that policy? The President has made a complete surrender to the lily-whites who have moved heaven and earth to eliminate the Negro from party councils. He has placed the leadership in the hands of such men as Bascom Slemp of Virginia. Colored men were driven out of the Republican convention by order of Slemp. On July 26, C. B. Miller, Joe Keeling and Houston were delegated to come to Georgia and remove the regular Republican state committee to put a new committee in chairmen because the President said there must be white leadership without regard to regularity, and the rules of the party. We again ask, does this comport with the President's demand for political equality as advocated at Birmingham? We submit this to the deliberate judgment of mankind and ask a verdict. (From the Philadelphia American.) President Harding, in his address at the semi-centennial in Birmingham, Ala., Wednesday last, nobly sustained his valuable reputation as a discreet follower of sozialen sentiment. When he addressed an audience in Ohio some time ago, he insisted that the colored citizen should be given the equal protection of the law in the exercise of his rights as such. In Alabama, he claimed that there could and should be no such thing as social equality between the races. Not one word is he reported as uttering in favor of equal protection of the law, the enforcement of the Federal law, the enforcement of lynching or the roasting of human beings at the stake. He did not even ask the moral support of his auditors for the passage of the antilynching bill now before Congress as he absolutely silent—and why? President knew that such matters as embodying the law against murder, mob violence, the law against suffrage were unpopular subjects to discuss in the South; hence, he趴救 all the way to Birmingham, Ala., to tell the folks down there that social equality between the races were impossible. Good news and glad tidings, we fancy, peace on earth and good will to all white men in the South. The President's mental barometer is unerring in pussyfooting on the race question. We do not agree with the President that our ideal should be the best possible black man, nor the best possible white man, nor an imitation of such; but rather the best possible man stripped of both qualifications. If the President had discussed the race question from the standpoint of equality before the law, the equal protection of the law, equal suffrage of the law, and one standard of citizenship to be supported and maintained by the law throughout the nation, he would have delivered a message to the people of the country and those of Alabama in particular, that would have been well worth the effort.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922. We derive very much satisfaction out of the position taken by the French General Mangin who recently said: "An end must be put to this absurd legend of the inferiority of the colored races. It is based solely on the tradition of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white races!" So declares Gen. Mangin, whose utterance is the most authoritative of those who have taken up advocacy of the cause of the colored peoples, following the winning of the Gonçont literary prize by the Martinique writer, Rene Maran. Mangin is the great champion of the colored army theory, holding that only by training and arming her colonial subjects can France redress the balance in face of more populous Germany. Their fighting value he proved in the war, for "Manger" Mangin's colonial army was always in the thick of the French offensives. The general gained his affection for the colored races during the twenty years he spent in colonial military and administrative commands. He is not merely a soldier, but has considerable competence in literary talent, which gives weight to his remarks on culture among the colored races. "There really is an intellectual elite among the colored races, whom liberty has introduced to our culture," he asserted in an interview. "And experience has demonstrated that this elite possesses the ability to excel in every domain of human activity." HARDING GETS ANOTHER RAP. At the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in New York last week, Charles Edward Russell, orator and author welcomed the advent of the "new Negro" who, he declared, was ready to stand up for his rights. He also ridiculed President Harding's assertion that there was an "impassable gulf" between col- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con- The human race ha test.

And so say we all! CHARLES S. MORRIS, JR., RAPS JIM CROWMIS. Gipsy Smith, the evangelist, conducted a three weeks' revival campaign in Norfolk, Va., at the Tabernacle, which seats 10,900 persons. Colored people were rigidly excluded from these meetings. Suddenly, because of financial reasons, an invitation was extended to them for a special afternoon meeting. Then a number of the colored ministers accepted the invitation to the jim crow meeting, and led something like 6,000 of their congregations to this meeting and they constituted the entire audience, the white seekers for salvation being conspicuous by their absence. This was the second time that such a meeting had been held in two years. The following Sunday at Queen Street Baptist church, Charles Satchchell Morris, Jr., "a chip of the old block," addressed a meeting of nearly 2,000 people including a body of clergymen and severely trounced the ministers and their people for attending the jim crow Gipsy Smith meeting. He chose as his subject, "The Blocks with which we Build," and plead for character, courage, faith, aspiration and loyalty. He declared the colored man was too largely an imitator and not sufficiently a creator. "We have forty so-called Black Billy Sundays and not one of them is worth his weight in sawdust. Indeed we appear to have been dedicated to the proposition of enthroning everything white and dethroning everything black. In speaking of loyalty to ourselves he waxed exceedingly bitter and vitriolic when he referred to the Gypsy Smith jim crow meeting. And when he said, "Down with those weakneed, cringing, cowardly colored preachers, ye led their flocks to the slaughter, ye to be crucified on the cross of the white man's prejudice," the great crowd leaped to its feet and attested that for that word it had been waiting. "Some of these old mothers," said he, looking to some of the aged females of his audience, "with the snows of seventy winters upon their brow that can not melt, can practice more Christianity in five minutes than Gypsy Smith and his gang of profiteering discriminators in five years." We are very fortunate in having a man like Mr. Morris, and a few others who don't fail to rap jim crowism on all occasions. May his tribe increase. THIRTY-EIGHT LYNCHED WHILE CONGRESS DEBATES ANTI- LYNCH BILL. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Ave., New York, has made public a statement to the effect that since the introduction of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in Congress on April 11, 1921, there had been 38 persons murdered by mobs in the United States, of whom two were burned, four bodies being publicly burned after lynching. One of those lynched was a colored woman. Three were white men. Since the Dyer bill was favorably reported by the Committee on the Judiciary, on October 31, 1921, there have been seven lynchings, one body being publicly burned, in Helena, Ark. Among the causes assigned for THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than th world, the counten the hearts of friends I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends. - Charles Sumner. ce when we should wards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. e must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. these lynchings are the following: 1. A colored man called to inquire of a white girl why she had not replied to a note he had written her. He was lynched for this offense. 2. An old man was accused of assisting a man to escape. 3. Two colored men were lynched for aiding a third to escape. 4. One colored woman was thrown from a bridge and drowned for assisting a colored man to escape. Georgia leads in the list of lynchings since the Dyer bill was introduced, having had 10. Mississippi is second with 7, South Carolina third, with 5, Louisiana fourth, with 4, and Arkansas and Texas each have 3. From the above everyone may readily see the urgent necessity of writing to the state Representatives in Congress urging their support for the early passage of the bill. CRINGING AWAKENS CONTEMPT We cannot win by blinking at facts or by ignoring fundamental principles. Editor J. Q. Adams of the ST. PAUL APEAL is sound to the core and we shall all have to accept his kind of leadership if we expect to attain our full stature and status under the American Constitution. Cringing may be comfortable for the time being put it is mighty humiliating for all the time thereafter and it awakens contempt for us as it should do in the minds and hearts of our adversaries. Editor Adams points the way, whether we accept his advice or not and sooner or later he will blaze the way to our financial, industrial and political enfranchisement in this country where none will dare molest us or make us afraid. Wise colored leaders will take notice and govern themselves accordingly. The foregoing from the Planet of Richmond, Va., edited by Hon. John Mitchell, Jr., who recently polled 20,000 votes as candidate for governor of the state, is pleasing to the editor but we accept it as a tribute to the cause for which THE APEALH has fought for nearly forty years rather than a personal compliment. JIM CROW LEADERS. We had in a recent issue a symposium of views of colored editors in various parts of the country on the speeches of President Harding in Birmingham, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga. One of the strongest of these is an editorial from the Richmond (Va.) Planet, by that fearless journalist, John Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the desire of President Harding to have more "negro" leaders developed, The Planet says: THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS KIND OF LEADERS. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS PART IN DEVELOPING THIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LATER YEARS HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE PRINCIPLES OF MANHOOD, WITHOUT WHICH NO RACE CAN RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. This is a strong statement yet it is absolutely true. No single thing in the history of the colored people in the United States has done so much to prevent the full attainment of citizenship as that speech of Booker Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ga., in 1895. Since then the descent to hell has been swift and sure and the depths were sounded when the other day, Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, stood by the side of who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be hearts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or the Grady monument in Atlanta, pronounced a eulogy on Henry W. Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and insidious enemy of the colored people that the country has produced, declared that the race question must be settled by the segregation of American citizens. Lured on by the enthusiastic reception by the South of the B. W. Washington speech and the white mar's "good negro" pat on the shoulder, the jincrow leaders' tribe has increased so enormously that it is now a menace to be reckoned with in every community in which there are a hundred colored men. Before he died Booker Washington repented in bitterness what he had done and longed for life to wash out his unwise course but it was too late. Although it may be news to many, it is a fact that after his death an article, written by him, was printed in a leading magazine, in which he repudiated segregation which he had so long championed. No greater calamity could befall the colored people than the harvesting of a new crop of "jimcrow negro leaders." ONE MORE OF THE "OLD GUARD" GONE. In the death in Washington, D. C., the latter part of last month, of Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinchback, at the ripe age of 84, we lose one of our most striking and historic characters. Few, if any, men among us had so varied a career as Pinchback. He was born in Macon, Ga., but at the outbreak of the Civil War he was living in New Orleans, La., and was made captain in the Louisiana Native Guards. He was a very fine looking man and made many trips to the cities on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. Few men were more widely or more favorably known than Le Capitaine. During the reconstruction period after the war he was quite active in politics both state and nation. He was a member of the Louisiana constitutional convention in 1868 and at the following election was elected to the state senate. When Oscar J. Dunn, who was lieutenant governor, died in 1870, Pinchback was elected to fill the vacancy, and when Governor Warmouth was impeached Pinchback was acting governor for 43 days, since which time he has been generally known as "Governor Pinchback," having enjoyed the distinction of being the only colored man who served as governor of one of the United States. He was delegate at large to the Republican national conventions of 1868 and 1884. He was at one time a member of the school board, served as president of the board of police commissioners and was appointed surveyor of the part of New Orleans. He was elected on the returns representative at large from Louisiana but his seat was contested by Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan who won out just one day before the term expired. Pinchback collected the salary for the nearly two years of the contest. At the same period Pinchback had been elected U. S. senator by the Louisiana legislature but after a long fight the senate refused to seat him. He published a weekly newspaper, "The Louisianaian," for a number of years of which Henry Corbin, an uncle of the editor of THE APPEAL, was manager. He moved to New York and was a deputy U. S. marshal there. Later he moved to Washington where he practiced law. He is survived by his wife and two sons. His remains were taken to New Orleans for interment. He was one of the few survivors of the "Old Guard" whose members are rapidly thinning out. DEATH OF ABDUL BAHA: A cable from Haifa Syria, announced the death in that city of Abdul Baha Abbas, one of the greatest men of the day and the leader of the Bahaist movement. Abdul Baha, "servant of God," traveled through the United States in 1912 and visited St. Paul among other places. He was the guest of the large congregation of Bahaists in Chicago the latter part of April and early in May in 1912 and on May 1, he dedicated the site at the Sheridan road bridge in Wilmette, a suburb of Chicago, where the Bahaists are now building a temple costing several millions of dollars, to be the world center of Bahaism. Abul Baha was born in Teheran, Persia. He was the successor of the Bab, "gateway of knowledge," who began about 1844 proclaiming throughout Islam the coming of a messenger of God and made much headway until executed at the age of 31. The noble father of Abdul Baha was Mirza Hossein Ali of Nour, a disciple of the Bab. Father and son were banished in 1888 to Akka, a prison city in Syria. Forty years later the Young Turks overthrew the despotic regime in Constantinople, and Abdul Baha was freed. The death of Abdul Baha will be mourned by millions of his co-religionists all over the world and it is now claimed that there is at least 50,000,000 of them, who practice as well as preach that "of one blood God made all nations." There are many thousands of colored people in the United States who have left orthodox Christianity and have become Bahaists because of hypocrisy of the so-called Christians on the color question. Bahaism is a social reform. It aims at the freeing of mankind from religious, social and political yokes. Among the things for which it stands are: Universal religion, universal language, a parliament of men with representatives from all countries for the settlement of international disputes, universal education, a perfect civilization founded on simplicity and co-operation, and emphasis on the spiritual things of life. In this world movement which found adherents of almost every religion—Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Confucianism, Judaism and Christianity. Almost every race and country of the globe contributes adherents to the organization for international brotherhood. People came to the city of Acca from all parts of the world to see and talk with Abdul Baha Abbas. His home was a regular Babel. Within it gathered peoples of all races and creeds. TRUE TO FORM. At the Detroit Methodist conference Emmett J. Scott declared "The Negro does not ask social equality and never has asked it. All he asks is social justice." But, pray how can the colored man get "social justice unless he has every kind of equality before the law and in public opinion?" Dominant people do not give exact justice to people they consider their inferior. Scott was private secretary to Booker Washington for nearly twenty years and was well trained to reiterate that the colored man does not want that and other things which would please the South. Now that he is away from Tuskegee he ought to learn a new tune. Marcus Garvey Arrested. New York, Jan. 12—Marcus Garvey, president of the Black Star line and head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was arrested today charged with using the mails to defraud. "SPECIAL EXPERT." The following from the Richmond Planet upholds THE APEAAL'S contention and says truly that the policy 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. Louis, M. D. Experienced 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 among the leading leaders of the colored people in this department have protested without seeming effect. Under this ruling, it may soon be expected that Irish-American citizens will be appointed only with the understated belief that they shall look after the Irish. Indians will look after those affairs, Indians will affect the Jews. Indians will be appointed to look after the interests of the Indians, the Germans to look after the Germans. Indians to look after the interests of the Indians, 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 colored will hold offices all right, but these offices are confined to work amongst the colored clusively. This will fan the flames of race prejudice rather than stamp out the crowning infamy of this age. Financially, we will be benefited, but as a matter of fundamental princi- plicity we are needlessly humiliated and our prejudice directed to the full American citizenship and its asturd- ant 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 law and the claims of the black soldiers are the those of the white and Dr. Crossland really accepted a Jim Crow job. Perry Howard, another prominent Uncle Tum, politician, also accepted a police job. As long as we take these political hardships, as long as our "leaders" are too willing 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 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 leader in the last campaign, in which it was even more important that the Republican party would abstain from the departments at Washington. If these things are true Crossland deserves better treatment at the hands of the yictors, and he also should have refused the appointment as undemocratic and demanded a treatment as is given to other group of citizens. One Lasker, a Jew, was murdered and 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 bureau, or 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.

It is the ambition of the Public Employment Service that during the year 1922 both the employer and the worker of St. Paul will be better served than in the past. The offices of the Public Employment Service (formerly known as the Federal-State-Municipal Employment Service) are at the following locations: Men's Division — (Skilled, common and farm labor; clerical and professional), 343 Minnesota St. Telephone Garfield 3915. Women's Division — (Clerical, industrial and domestic), 212 Guardian Life Building. Telephone Garfield 4951. The state of Minnesota and the city of St. Paul are maintaining these offices at considerable expense. Public employment offices are as necessary as public schools or public libraries but it is only by having the co-operation of all of the citizens that they can reach their highest usefulness. As a citizen of St. Paul, you are paying a proportionate share of the cost of these offices, and it is hoped that you will avail yourself of the service they can render. Place your orders for help at the offices. You will thereby eliminate the necessity of anyone who desires work having to pay for the opportunity. Please hear in mind that by giving ADVANCE notice of your needs better service may be rendered to you. The right man or woman is not always at hand; in that event recourse is had to the applications on file. Getting in touch by telephone or mail with the persons registered takes times. 1.00 DOWN GOLDMAN Gives Greater Values Purchases Any Diamond or Watch In This Store PAY AT YOUR CONVENIENCE 50c a Week Royal Jewelers, Inc.
