The Appeal

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. VOL. 38 NO. 4 Some Aspects of the Farmers' Problems By BERNARD M. BARUCH (Reprinted from Atlantic Monthly) The whole rural world is in a ferment of unrest, and there is an unparalleled volume and intensity of determination, for angry, protest, and an ominous swarming of occupational conferences, interest groupings, political movements and propaganda. Such a turmoil cannot but arrest our attention. Indeed, it demands our careful study and examination. It is not likely that six million atroff and ruggedly independent men have come together and banded themselves into active unions, societies, farm bureau, and so forth, for no sufficient cause. Investigation of the subject conclusively proves that, while there is much overstatement of grievances and mis conception of remedies, the farmers are right in complaining of wrongs long endured, and right in holding that it is feasible to relieve their ills with benefit to the rest of the community. This being the case of an industry that contributes, in the raw material form alone, about one-third of the national wealth production and is the means of livelihood of about 49 per cent of the population, it is obvious that the subject is one of grave concern. Not only do the farmers make up one-half of the nation, but the well-being of the other half depends upon them. So long as we have nations, a wise political economy will aim at a large degree of national self-sufficiency and self-containment. Rome fell when the food supply was too far removed from the belly. Like her, we shall destroy our own agriculture and extend our sources of food distantly and precariously. The farmers are well and fairly paid for their services. The farm gives the nation men as well as food. Cities derive their vitality and are forever renewed from the country, but an impoverished countryside exports intelligence and retains unintelligence. Only the lower grades of mentality and character will remain on, or seek, the farm, unless agriculture is capable of being pursued with contentment and self-containment. Hence, to embitter and impoverish a farmer is to dry up and contaminate the vital sources of the nation. The war showed convincingly how dependent the nation is on the full productivity of the farms. Despite herculean efforts, agricultural production kept only a few weeks or months ahead of consumption, and that only by increasing the acreage of certain staple crops at the cost of reducing that of others. We ought not to forget that lesson when we ponder on the farmer's problems. They are truly should be no attempt to deal with them if they were purely selfish demands of a clear-cut group, antagonistic to the rest of the community. Rather should we consider agriculture in the light of broad national policy, just as we consider oil, coal, steel, dystuffs, and so forth, as shews of national strength. Our growing population and a higher standard of living demand increasing food supplies, and more wool, cotton, hides, and the rest. With the disappearance of free or cheap land, additional acreage and increase in farm income from costly effort. This we need not expect from an impoverished or unhappy rural population. It will not do to take a narrow view of the rural discontent, or to appraise it from the standpoint of yesterday. This is peculiarly an age of flux and change and new deals. Because a thing always has been so no longer means that it is righteous, or always shall be so. More, perhaps, than ever before, there is a widespread feeling that all human relations can be improved by taking thought, and that it is not becoming for the reasoning aniline to leave his destiny largely to chance and chance. Prudent and orderly adjustment of production and distribution in accordance with consumption is recognized as wise management in every business but that of farming. Yet, I venture to say, there is no other industry in which it is so important to the public—to the city-dweller—that production should be sure, steady, and increasing, and that distribution should be in proportion to the need. The unorganized farmers naturally act blindly and impulsively and, in consequence, surfeit and dearth, accompanied by disconcerting price-variations, harass the consumer. One year potatoes rot in the fields because of excess of nutrients, and disconcerting of the things that have been displaced to make way for the expansion of the potato acreage; next year the punished farmers mass their fields on some other crop, and potatoes enter the class of luxuries; and so on. Agriculture is the greatest and fundamentally the most important of our American industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of national life, the roots of which go deeply into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer. So, when we of the cities read of the present universal distress of the farmers of slump of six billion dollars in the farm value of their crops in a single year, of their inability to meet mortgages or to pay current bills, and how, seeking relief from their ills, they are planning to form pools, inaugurate farmers' strikes, and demand legislation abolishing grain exchanges, private cattle markets, and the like, we ought not hastily to brand them as economic heretics and highwaymen, and hurt at what can be done to special privilege. Rather, we should ask if their trouble is not ours, and see what can be done to improve the situation. Purely from self-interest, if for no higher motive, we should help them. All of us want to get back permanently to "normalcy"; but is it reasonable to hope for that condition unless our greatest and most basic industry can be put on a sound and solid permanent foundation? The farmers are used to special privileges but are they used to special privileges that they be placed on an equal footing with the buyers of their products and with other industries? Let us, then, consider some of the farmer's grievances, and see how far they are real. In doing so, we should remember that, while there have been, and still are, instances of purposeful abuse, the subject should not be approached with any general imputation to existing distributive agencies of deliberately intentional oppression, but rather with the conception that the marketing of farm products has not been modernized. An ancient evil, and a persistent one, is the undergrading of farm products, with the result that what the farmers sell as of one quality is resold as of a higher. That this sort of chicaneer should persist on any important scale in these days of business integrity would seem almost incredible, but there is much evidence that it does so persist. Even as I write, the newspapers announce the suspension of several firms from the New York Produce Exchange for exporting to Germany as No. 2 wheat a whole shipload of grossly inferior wheat mixed with oats, chaff and the like. Another evil is that of inaccurate weighing of farm products, which, it is charged, is sometimes a matter of dishonest intention and sometimes of protective policy on the part of the local buyer, who fears that he may "watch out" more than he "weights in." A greater grievance is that at present the field farmer has little or no control over the time and conditions of marketing his products, with the result that he is often underpaid for his products and usually overcharged for marketing service. The difference between what the farmer receives and what the consumer pays often exceeds all possibility of justification. To cite a single illustration. Last year, according to figures attested by the railways and the growers, Georgia watermilner-raisers received on the average 7.5 cents for a melon, the railroads got 12.7 cents for carrying it to Baltimore and the consumer paid one dollar, leaving 79.8 cents for the service of marketing and its risks, as against 20.2 cents for growing and transporting. The hard annals of farm-life are replete with such commentaries on the crudeness of present practices. Nature prescribes that the farmer's "goods" must be finished within two or three months of the year, while financial and storage limitations generally help him to sell them at the same time. As a rule, other industries are in a continuous process of finishing goods for the markets; they dismay their productiveness, and they can curtail production when the great injury to themselves or the community; but if the farmer restricts his output, it is with disastrous consequences, both to himself and to the community. mized business production for the major part of the year, and has nothing to sell. The bulk of his output comes on the market at once. Because of lack of storage facilities and of financial support, the farmer cannot carry his goods through the year and dispose of them as they are currently needed. In the great majority of cases, farmers have to entrust storage in warehouses and elsewhere and are carrying of their products to others. Farm products are generally marketed at a time when there is a congestion of both transportation and finance—when cars and money are scarce. The outcome, in many instances, is that the farmers not only sell under pressure, and therefore at a disadvantage, but are compelled to take further reductions in net returns, in order to meet the charges for the service of storing, transporting, financing, and ultimate marketing—which charges they claim, are often excessive, bear heavily on the consumer and producer, and are under the control of those performing the services. It is true that they are relieved of the risks of a changing market by selling at once; but they are quite willful. $ \pi $ THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1922 TOBACCO'S FOES LOSING GROUND TOBACCO'S FOES LOSING GROUND Canvass of 7,847 Editors Shows 7,393 Communities Against Abolishing Weed. ANTISE LOSE THREE STATES. Utah, Under Mormon Influence, Only Commonwealth to Adopt Prohibition Measure During Year. "Is tobacco going to have its scalp added to the belt of the prohibitionist beside that of the lamented but as yet not altogether alive outfit?" is the question asked by Garret Smith in an article in the current issue of Leslie Magazine." The writer reaches the conclusion that while there has been increased agitation and legislative activity on the subject of tobacco following the success of the drive for prohibition of liquor the efforts of reformers seeking to abolish tobacco have no general support. This opinion is based on the results of the questionnaires on the subject sent out to newspaper editors of the country by the Press Service Company of New York City. The questions asked were: (1) Do you favor the enactment of laws prohibiting the personal use of tobacco by adults? (2) In your judgment does the general sentiment of your community favor such legislation? (3) Is the use of tobacco personally objectionable to you? No arguments accompanied the questions and from their form it was impossible for any editor to determine the attitude of the questioners. Out of 12,518 editors questioned, 7,847 replied according to the summary given. These editors, it is estimated, represent a combined circulation of 21,870,046. Of the 7,847 editors replaying, 7,838, or 95 per cent, represent public sentiment in their communities as opposed to anti-tobacco legislation. Only 260 editors, or 3 per cent of those replaying believed there was any considerable sentiment favorable to tobacco prohibition. There were 174, or 2 per cent, in doubt, while 20 failed to record their judgment. Editors' Judgment Unbiased "It is of special interest to note that 569 editors in answering the first question, personally favored such legislation, although only 260 of them reported that public opinion also favored the prohibition of tobacco—an indication of the conscientious effort made by the editors to distinguish public opinion from their own personal opinions," the article continues. "The highest percentage of replies reporting public opinion favorable to prohibition of tobacco came from Utah, where 42 per cent of the editors thought the public were for such a movement. Utah is the only state which has since adopted an anticigarette law. The result was forecast by several of the editors who stated that the influence of the Mormon Church was against tobacco. The Mormon Church is also strong in Idaho, which is the other state where the use of tobacco was recently prohibited, but the governor has signed the bill just passed, in which the prohibitory legislation is repealed. In this state per cent of the editors estimate communities as against tobacco production, which, nevertheless, is not below the average reported opposition. "The legislature of Tennessee some weeks ago passed and the governor has signed a bill repealing the anticigarette law that state. The questionnaire showed 93 per cent of its editors believed the public against anti-tobacco legislation. The statute of Arkansas has also passed a bill repealing its anti-cigarette law. In this state 94 per cent of the editor reported against tobacco prohibition. Arizona's Practical Joke "A bill, introduced in the current session of the legislature of Arizona to prohibit smoking in public dining rooms and other public places, was first amended to prohibit the consumption in public of peanuts, chewing gum, tea and coffee and then defeated by the senate. The questionnaire returns from that state were 92 per cent 'no'. "In Iowa where the 'no's' were 95 per cent a bill to repeal the anticigarette law has been passed and signed by the governor. "A bill to repeal the anticigarette law in Kansas, with 89 per cent 'no's, is receiving the attention of its legislature. Last year a petition for a referendum in Oregon to prohibit the use of tobacco failed of sufficient signatures to bring the question to a vote, and 95 per cent of the editors declare their public against legislation. In Oklahoma an anticigarette bill has been reported unfavorably in the house. The editors of that state reported 94 per cent against its public support. "Outside of Utah, where Mormon influence predominate," the article concludes, "the and tobacco movement appears, as in the case of Tennessee, Arkansas and Iowa, to be loss ground and is not to any considerable extent supported by the people." The friends of tobacco feel particularly elated over this showing, inasmuch as 1920-21 was a maximum-year in legislative circles with 42 state legislatures in session and the tobacco subject received an unusual amount of consideration. Alleged Thief Leaps 40 Feet and Lands on Auto. Then He tries to Take 30-Foot Plunge to Railroad Tracks, but Police-man Gets Him. New York.—This is how Alex Urbanoff, twenty-six, an unemployed tailor, accused of having robbed a woman of her pocketbook containing $10, spent an evening. First returned the purse containing the money at the Bridge Plaza elevated station in Long Island city, where he is accused of purloping it, when his alleged victim confronted him. Ran when his accuser, Mrs. Mary Howell of 322 Crescent street screamed for the police. Leaped from the end of the station platform to the tracks. Made record speed for four blocks when pursued by a special policeman and a crowd of men. At a point over the Diagonal street viaduct he almost ran into an approaching train. To save himself he leaped 40 feet for the street. He capped on top of a swift passing automobile and was bounced off to the roadway. He saw Mounted Patrolman Kavanaugh coming toward him, ran to the railing of the viaduct and was about to leap to the tracks of the Long Island railroad, a distance of 40 feet, when he was intercepted. Taken to Hunter's Point police station he was finger-printer. Suffering from shock and other injuries, he was removed to St. John's hospital. Here he was found to have sustained a bad injury to his left leg and shoulder and possibly internal injury Miss Clara Brown, Los Angeles, while visiting the Diamond Bar ranch, was moved with sympathy by an orphaned two-day-old pig. She took the little one, and now "Diamond" enjoys all the comforts of a pretty home. His happiest moments are at meal time, when Miss Brown feeds the "baby," as the picture shows. Columbia, La.—Can fish climb a tree or do squirrels take a bath occasionally? This is the question being asked by G. T. McSween. While he and his daughter, Mrs. Annie Wear, were fishing in Horseshoe lake they caught five unusually large trout, of which appeared to be somewhat overfed. On opening them, a squirrel was found in one, and a two-pound gar fish in the other. How that trout got that squirrel is the puzzling proposition. 'OLIVER TWIST'S' JAIL CLOSED Gruel Pot of Famous St. George's Workhouse in London Goes to Museum. London—St. George's workhouse, just south of London bridge, where Oliver Twist had the audacity to ask for a second helping of thin gruel, has been closed by the poor law authorities and the inmates have been transferred elsewhere. The gruel of which Dickens' child hero and his fellow sufferers partook was made in a copper caddison, which is to be presented to the Southmark borough council's museum. "Floating Crematory" for Japa. Tokyo—Tokyo will soon have a "floating crematory" the first of its kind in Japan. Two specially constructed vessels of 150 tons each, with facilities for cremating 80 bodies at a time, will be used. The vessels will be anchored at a wharf at Shihura, and, after funeral services have been held on board, they will leave for a point about seven miles off the bay for the MANY INDUSTRIES TIED TO TOBACCO Prohibition of Weed Would Mean Big Financial Loss to Allied Trades. WHO USES THE MATCH? The Smoker Mainly—Also Responsible for Spending Hundreds of Millions Annually for Licorice, Sugar, Coal, Cigar Boxes, Tin Foil, Etc. By GARRET SMITH "Got a match?" How many times a day is it that question asked in these United States? How many more times is the question unnecessary because most pockets are kept well supplied with the useful little article? Anyhow, inasmuch as it is estimated that there are 30,000,000 tobacco users in the country, we would guess that the answer to that question would run into the hundreds of millions. For if it weren't for the smokers in these days of electric lights how many matches would be used? A pretty small proportion of the number of these "sticks of blazes" produced in the country every year. Abolish tobacco and the match business would be shot to pieces. But the match business is only one of a dozen or more allied industries which derive large revenues directly or indirectly from the tobacco trade and would suffer from if national prohibition of tobacco if national prohibition of tobacco were to go into effect as some of our reformers would have it. The annual sales of tobacco products, based on retail prices, is estimated at $1,937,000,000. Of the cost of producing and selling this quantity of cigars, cigarettes and other forms of the weed, some hundreds of million dollars are paid out for other things than the raw tobacco and labor of making it up. $25,000,000 a Year for Boxes For example, the tobacco trade consumes each year 45,000,000 pounds of licorice, 50,000,000 pounds of sugar, both used in flavoring tobacco, and 650,000 tons of coal. It is estimated that the value of wooden cigar boxes used is $25,000,000 a year, quite an item to the lumber business and to manufacturers of the boxes. In making these boxes 550,000 pounds of nails are employed. Other large items used in making and preparing tobacco for sale are tin and lead roll, paper for bags and cigarette wrappers, cloth for tobacco bags, labels, coupons, etc., involving the printing trade extensively. Then building contractors and manufacturers of machinery are largely interested. Investments in plants and machinery employed in manufacturing tobacco are estimated at $102,000,000. Replacement, up-keep and interest on the investment make no small sum annually. And let reality men note there are approximately 825,000 tobacco farms in the country, with a total estimated evaluation of $100,000,000. Of further interest, the number of firms in the market that there are 700,000 retail establishments selling tobacco, involving a total rental and up-keep to estimate to office space occupied by administrative branches of the general business. The insurance men, too, have their share of the pickings. The tobacco business pays out annually $7,000,000 in premiums in the United States. And there are the railroads who reap revenue from 2,210,000 tons of tobacco products every year. As for the advertising business, here again it is impossible to form any estimate of the enormous annual outlay. The prohibition of tobacco would also knock a good-sized hole in the receipts of the United States government. The internal revenue receipts from the fiscal year 1920 amounted to $205,800,382,000 and provided an additional $25,000,000 in round figures, making the total revenue return to the government $220,000,000. Influence on Popular Sentiment It is this interlocking of the tobacco business with so many other interests and the vast amount of financial loss that would be involved in the abolition of tobacco that is one of the most serious aspects of the proposal to prohibit the sale of tobacco, a proposal, however, which has little support by public sentiment if the newspaper editors of the country are correct in their estimate of that sentiment. In a poll of the editors made recently by the Tobacco Merchants' Association of the United States, through the Press Service Company of New York City, the editors who replied expressed the opinion that the replied of their communities were opposed to any law against tobacco. As these editors represent some 80,000,000 readers the results form a pretty general test of national opinion. In their remarks accompanying their replies many of the editors expressed it as their opinion that the opposition of their communities to the abolition of tobacco was based to some extent at least on the damage such a change would do to the business interests of the community. This was particularly true in the tobacco growing states and centers where there were large tobacco plants. But when the extent of the business involved in the allied interests of the tobacco trade is considered, as above briefly outlined, it is clear that there is hardly a section of the country that would not be affected directly or indirectly by abolishing tobacco.

Disappear as Suddenly as They Come, Leaving Desert of Country They Pass Through. Buenos Aires — A plague of locusts, like that which in ancient Egypt "covered the face of the earth," this year descended upon the province of Santa Fe. Similar offensives are annual events in one part or other of Argentina. The locusts come suddenly and without warning. Where for a year or several years perhaps not one of the insects has been seen, a veritable cloud of them will one day appear and settle on the ground. These usually come from the northwest, from the vast almost uninhabited tracts, in Bali, it is supposed. They cover the earth like a moving carpet, gradually moving on. At first little damage is done, aside from the inconvenience of having literally millions of the insects covering everything and even penetrating the houses. But as they progress through the country they bore holes into the earth, preferably in hard spots such as roadways, into which they deposit their eggs. Within a short time the larva are hatched and come forth. At first these cannot fly, and it is at this stage that they devour every living plant within their path, with the exception of a few species such as willow. A little later the insects develop their wings and, leaving the country through which they have passed a desert, they disappear almost as suddenly as they came. Where they go to has never been discovered. Argentina has had recourse to many methods of fighting the locusts. The nation maintains organized locust fighting squads, something like those formed to fight fires, and these are sent every year to the sections invaded. In addition, every rancher is held responsible for fighting the pest in his own locality. One of the methods employed is to dig trenches in which the insects are collected, afterward being burned. But no matter how many millions of them are made away with in any such manner, it is impossible to block the pest, owing to the great extent of Argentina, much of which is still very sparsely settled. DOG WEARS AUTO SPECS Even the bow-wows are being fitted out with goggles for motoring, according to a report from Boston, which states that goggles for dogs have been placed on sale there. A prominent Boston woman who is in the habit of taking her dog on motoring trips started the fad. The dog was suffering from eye strain as the result of riding out on windy days. The photo shows Towser with his specs. Uncover Huge Ruins at Garden of Gethsemane London.—The Palestine department of antiquities, which had charge of the exploration work being carried out in the city of Ascalon, announces the discovery of some huge marble pillars and statues, says a dispatch from Jerusalem. The department has also unearthed some medieval and Fourth century churches and mosaic pavements at the foot of the Mount of Olives, leading into the Garden of Gethsemane. Run Big Bill in "Libre" Taxi. Mexico City.—In the belief that they were graciously being extended the freedom of the city, several Texas ex-convictionists halted a taxicab marked "Libre" and toured the city half a day. When presented with a rather large bill they protested, telling the driver his car was labeled "Free" and was part of an entertaining committee's courteses. The bill was paid when they were reliably informed that every taxicab "at liberty" or "ready to hire" is marked "Libre." Buried in the Wrong Town. New Albany, Ind.—Although nothing is known here concerning Samuel Peacock, overseas soldier, whose body arrived here for burial, members of the American Legion took charge of the funeral. $2.40 PER YEAR VOODOOISM IS FAITH OF HAITI Admiral Knapp, Investigating Conditions, Tells Shocking Tales of Practices. Native Is Strongly Superstitious, Fears Evil Eye and Stands in Great Awe of Voodoo Priests and Priestesses. Washington, D. G.—That 95 per cent of the natives of Haiti believe in the African jungle faith of voodooism which requires the sacrifice of human beings and the drinking of human blood is declared by Rear Admiral H. K. Snapp in his report to the secretary of the navy on investigation of Haitian conditions. Admiral Knapp cites a shocking case of the trial of a voodoo priest, who is reported to have killed 13 child, whose blood was drunk and flesh eaten by persons present at the rites. "Voodooism is prevalent," says the admiral's report, "and the further one goes from the coast into the interior the more openly is voodooism practiced. Voodooism is essentially snake worship, and in its extreme rites it requires the sacrifice of human beings and the drinking of their blood and eating of their flesh. Orgies at Sacrifices. "The human sacrifice is called the 'hornless goat'; minor sacrifices of goats are made. These religious celebrations, if the word 'religious' can be applied to such affairs end in disgraceful orgies of debauchery. It is very difficult, of course, to determine just how extensively the beliefs are held, but some Haitians themselves have asserted that probably 95 per cent of the total population believes in voodooism to a greater or less extent. "Of course, the contrary is strongly held by apologists for the Haitian character. It seems certain, however, that whether it be the effect of voodooism or not, the average Haitian is strongly superstitious—superstitious with the superstitions of the jungle. He is afraid of the evil eye, or as it is called here, the 'ouanga', and stands in great awe of the voodoo priests and priestesses. It is also believed the educated classes are not free from much of this superstition, even where they deny belief in or the existence of voodooism. Voodoo Followers Feared. "Halitan officials high in place will not take action against persons accused of vooodoism, whether because of their own belief in it or because of fear born of their own knowledge of the extent to which vooodoism is prevalent among the population or of incurring emmites. A vooodo priest has been lately tried and sentenced, and the proceedings of the military commission are now in Washington awaiting action. This man is said to have killed, at one or another, 13 children, whose blood was drunk and whose flesh was eaten by persons present at the rites. The practice of similar vooodo rites is confidently believed by those most familiar with the situation in Haiti to be not unusual in the remote places, although it is very difficult to obtain any positive evidence in corroboration." OLD WOMAN MAKES QUILT Makes One for Her Grandson That Contains 5,760 Pieces of Patches. Medford, Wis.—Mrs. Jackson Moon of Perkinstown has just completed a quilt consisting of 5,760 pieces for her grandson, William Woods of Wausau. The pieces were collected from friends and neighbors. Work on the quilt began last April. Two weeks of continuous sewing made Mrs. Moon's fingers so sore that she was compelled to abandon the work for a time, resting her fingers by spinning for a neighbor. Mrs. Moon, although seventy years old, does her own housework, entertains much company, helps with the milking, churns three times a week, markets her butter, and no sick relative or friend can find a better nurse than she. In the past twelve years this industrious lady has placed 13 quilts each made up of thousands of pieces, all sewed by hand, for Mrs. Moon does not like to sew on a machine. Baby Ostrich Scranny. Vancouver, Canada.-Jonathan, the first ostrich chick hatched in Canada, is progressing under the care of Zoo Manager F. Green in Stanley park. It was at first believed that the rare and valuable bird would not live, and it was taken from its parents and placed in the Green home. Appearance of weakness proved deceptive, for Jonathan quickly whipped the house cat and won a decision over the family spaniel. A. Room Seen B. Pursued A Boom Soon Punctured.

Owing to the constant and efficient fight of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill passed the House of Representatives in Congress Thursday by a vote of 230 to 119. Seventeen Republicans joined 102 Democrats in voting in the opposition while eight Democrats and one Socialist, London of New York, voted with 221 Republicans in favor of the measure. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow!" The bill now goes to the Senate with every hope of successfully passing that body. BRISBANE'S POISON GAS. Arthur Brisbane, who contributes a column headed "Today" to the Hearst newspapers, is considered a great writer, but THE APPEAL has noticed for years that he has great bitterness against colored people in his writings. Here is some of his latest dope: President Harding told the colored men and women in the South that it was a mistake for them to talk about "social equality." said he: "This is a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference." That earnest young Socialist plutocrat, Charles E. Russell, rebukes President Harding and wants to know what PROOF there is of a difference between Negro and white races. "Show me," says he. In any natural history museum the polite attendant will "show him." He will lead Mr. Russell to a row of skulls, and say, "This is a Negro of one type; this is a Negro of another. This is a white man." A 5-year-old child can be taught the THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cone The human race has test.

And to change the skull except by interbreeding, which is not desired, would take many thousands of years. To lift up the bone of a forehead, making it half an inch nearer to the perpendicular, would take 10,000 years at least. There is the "show me" answer, most puzzling to those that would LIKE equality, but that don't want to deceive themselves. A great naturalist said, "The difference between a low type of African savage and a highly developed white man is greater than the difference between that savage and a blade of grass." That, unfortunately, is true, and intelligent Charles E. Russell knows it. Let us not deceive ourselves or others, even in the noble cause of brotherly love. Those that are deceived, no matter how kindly, lose their way. The bunk about the African savage and a blade of grass seems to be a favorite quotation of Mr. Brisbane for he has used it at least a half dozen times a year for the last ten years. Other great naturalists have said that there are no fundamental differences between the white and black races and the Christ has said that of one blood were created all nations. The colored people in America are not African savages and probably half of the so-called white people in the United States have more or less Negro blood in their veins. President Garfield termed Alexander Hamilton "the greatest man who ever trod American soil," and yet it has been proved that Hamilton had Negro blood in his veins. A GOOD VIEWPOINT. The following under the heading, "The Colored Man's Viewpoint," is from the Chicago Tribune: I desire to compliment you upon the fact that you have taken up the practice of using colored man or colored woman instead of Negro or Negress. This is attested by an article which appeared on the front page of Wednesday's Tribune and another in this morning's Tribune. I have not at all forgotten that your paper at one time graciously agreed to capitalize the word Negro. Although the word Negro is a term which some persons of color dislike, yet it was thought a half loaf was better than none at all, and so we contented ourselves with the capitalization. We cannot commend too highly your use of the word colored in the place of Negro and are hoping that the substitute will be both general and permanent. S. A. T. WATKINS, President Appomattox Club. CHARLES S. DUKE, Chairman Civics Committee, Appomattox Club. It is a very important thing for a great newspaper like the Chicago Tribune to use colored instead of Negro as a racial designation. Probably no one thing has contributed so much to the contempt in which colored people are held than the use of the word Negro in describing the colored people of the United States. And it's a lie. The colored people are not Negroes. The are, and they ought to proclaim themselves, AMERICANS. THE K. K. K. BARS GILPIN. The tour of Charles Gilpin, the colored actor, has been abandoned so far as the south is concerned, temporarily at least. Adolph Klauber, under whose management Gilpin was playing in "The THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the we intolerant judgment the countenances of averted, and the hea cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the courtena 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. once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against he and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. he must speak and right the wrongs of her Wilcox. Emperor Jones," sent him into Virginia and had planned to send him further south. In Richmond the show did well and it began to appear the south would overlook the fact that Gilpin is a colored man. But now Broadway hears a quick change in plans came about. A letter with a Ku Klux Klan signature was received by Gilpin while in Virginia. It advised him not to attempt to continue in the south with his company, which contains a number of white players. It was then that the route was changed and the troupe is now in Ohio. GEN. MANGIN HAS RIGHT IDEA. 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 Goncourt 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." PREJUDICE STOPS NOT AT THE GRAVE. The late Governor Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinchback who had the distinction of having been elected to, or, appointed to more prominent political positions than any other colored man in Louisiana; in life, now has the distinction in death of being the only (known) colored man buried in Metairie cemetery in New Orleans. Thirty-five or forty years ago the Pinchback family legally became the owners of a tomb in that exclusive cemetery and the remains of the late P. B. S. Pinchback were taken there for interment and a storm of protest was raised by the owners of tombs, but as the family owned the tomb they rested on their rights and the interment was made, but no ceremony of any sort was allowed to be made, and only one automobile to accompany the hearse. On resurrection morn, we wonder what those color prejudiced people will do, when they learn that a "nigger" is among them? 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 Presi- who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall be applause of theences of relatives or dent Harding's assertion that there was an "impassable gulf" between colored and white people in the United States and advocated that, before attempting to lead the world to disarmament, the United States disarm the lyncher within her own borders. And so say we all! Here is one paragraph from Mr. Russell's speech: "I must frankly say to the gentleman who said that, President Harding," said Mr. Russell, "that you don't know what you're talking about. If this great gulf you speak of between the races which you speak of exists, what does it look like? Have you a photograph of it? There is no such gulf, and the only limit to the development of you colored people is the one you place yourselves." CRINGING AWAKENES CONTEMPT. We cannot win by blinking at facts or by ignoring fundamental principles. Editor J. Q. Adams of the ST. PAUL APPEAL 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 APPEAL 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 Plaret says: THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS KIND OF LEADERS. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS PART IN DEVELOPING THIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LATTER YEARS HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE PRINCIPLES OF MAN HOOD, 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 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. Washington speech and the white man's "good negro" pat on the shoulder, the jimcrow 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." 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 inferiors. 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. NEARLY $3,000,000 WILLED FOR UP- LIFT OF COLORED PEOPLE. Information has reached THE AP- PEAL that bequests of nearly $3,000, 000 for educational, charitable and development work among colored people are made in the will of Mrs. Calista S. Mayhew, who died Dec. 19, 1921, in Newark, N. J. This will be splendid if it is not used along any of the jimcrow lines. Five men, two of them colored, have been sentenced to life imprisonment in the Oklahoma state penitentiary for complicity in the lynching of Jake Brooks, a colored packing house worker. All of the men entered pleas of guilty. The Irish having fought for 760 years to gain freedom intend to keep it at all odds. The Irish Free State is not yet in official being, but the minister of defense is making plans for a powerful standing army. Six members of Howard's orchestra, a Columbus organization, were taken to the outskirts of Maimi, Florida, by masked men, flogged and told to leave the city within twenty-four hours. Marshal Foch of France has been signally honored during his visit to the United States and in many places colored men have been members of the reception committees. It is meet that the colored people should render him great honor as he brigaded the American colored soldiers with his French troops when the white Americans refused to fight with them. FIVE LYNCHERS GIVEN LIFE Three Whites and Two Colored Plead Guilty to Lynching Colored Man. Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 24. Five men, two of them colored, sentenced to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary when they entered pleas of guilty in district court here today to charges of complicity in the lynching of Jake Brooks, colored, packing house worker, here the night of January 14. The white man under similar charges were to be arraigned for evaming trial. An eight man is under arrest at Mart. Texas The white men are Lee Whitley and Elmer Yearta, striking members of the Butcher Workmen's union, and Charles Polk, a union sympathizer. The colored men, Robert Allen, cousin of the man who was lynched, and Nathan Butler, also are union men. (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 of the Jew, was made head of the U. S. Shipping Board. Representatives of other Jewish groups have been given places, but not segregated bureaus. No President of the United States would dare offer 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 appoinotments 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 defenders of segregation. (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 soldiers are the same as those of the veterans and Dr. Crossland has really accepted a Jim Crow job. Perry Howard, another prominent "Uncle Tom" politician also accepts 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. Dangerous and Undemocratic. (From the Crisis.) "Mr. Harding meant that the American colored man must acknowledge that it was a wrong and a disgrace for Booker T. Washington to dine with President Roosevelt! "The answer to this inconceivably dangerous and undemocratic demand must come with the unanimous ring of 12 million voices, enforced by the voice of every who believes in humanity." Mr. Harding Down South. To the Editor: The colored man, according to Mr. Harding in his Birmingham speech, "should seek to be the best possible black man, and not the best possible imitation of the white man." This is the Harding standard for the race. We admit that in many respects the white man is a poor model for imitation, as in lynching, discriminatory practices against his friends and his arrogant assertion of superiority by birth and color, but why does not Mr. Harding advise us to become the best possible men, and forget distinctions which sides apart from merit? Of course, if you hard it is to be logical and at the same time avoid offending the South while a recipient of its hospitality, but it does amusing, as well as pathetic, that in the same speech he says: "The one thing we must sedulously avoid is the development of group or class organizations in this country." Gee, but it is hard to straddle! J. MILTON SAMPSON, Dicertor of Research and Records, Chicago Urban League. assume man to the memorial to Chicago.

Increase Advertising Is Babson's Advice Roger W. Babson, statistician and business authority, is advising American business men and manufacturers to renew and even increase their advertising.

Take the aggregate course." Homemakers Learn to Conserve Time.
