The Appeal

CROWDS THRONG TO ADAMS RITES CROV FILL PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH TO CAPACITY ELKS CONDUCT SERVICES The funeral services of John Quincy Adams, veteran editor of APPEAL, who died Sept. 4th, as the result of injuries received in an automobile accident, were held Friday, Sept. 8th, at Pilgrim Baptist Church, under the auspices of Gopher Lodge, No. 105, I. B. P. O. E. W., of which Mr. Adams was a charter member. The edifice was crowded to the doors with friends who came to pay their last respects to the esteemed editor, many of whom were from out-of-town. The casket containing the body of the deceased editor was escorted to the alter by the following active pallbearers: John Coquile, Niels Casey, S. W. Wright, Elbert Gilbeth, James Grissom, and Felix Reines. The honorary pallbearers were: James H. Loomis, W. A. Hilyard, R. C. Minor, W. T. Francis, R. M. Johnson, Thos. Hickman, J. W. Mellon, J. E. Johnson, St. Paul, John M. Allison, and W. R. Morris, Minneapolis, Mr. A. T. Hall, Pittsburgh, and Mr. C. W. Scrutchin, Benidji, Minn. Mr. Geo. W. Stewart presided at the service which was opened with a song by the choir—"Lead Kindly Light," followed by an invocation by Reverend T. J. Carr, of St. Paul Baptist Church. The choir then sang "Nearer My God To Thee"; then the Ninetieth Psalm as the Scripture Lesson was read by Rev. John W. Kelly, of St. James A. M. E. Church. Rev. Carr then read the obituary as follows: John Quincy Adams, editor and publisher of THE APPEAL, St. Paul, was born in Louisville, Ky., May 4, 1848, the son of Reverend Henry Adams and Margaret Adams (nee Corbin). His father was the founder of Fifth Street Baptist Church, Louisville, and was its pastor for thirty-three years. John Adams received his schooling in Fond du lac, Wis., Yellow Springs, Ohio, and completed his education at the college in Oberlin, Ohio, of which he was a graduate. He went to Arkansas to teach school and taught in two of the smaller towns, and later in Little Rock. He then became assistant to his uncle, Hon. Joseph C. Corbin, the then Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Arkansas. He was post-elected Engrossing Clerk of the Arkansas State Senate. While serving in the Senate, the famous Brooks-Baxter political battle took place, after which Mr. Adams returned to Louisville and became a teacher in the A Litany of Atlanta Silent God, Thou wh left our ears an-hun Hear us, good Lord Listen to us, Thy child a mockery in Thy sanctua heaven, O God, crying: We beseech Thee to he We are not better than human men. When our dee the deed: curse them as w than ever they have done to VOL. 38 NO. 37 public schools. After several years' service as a school teacher, he was appointed in the Revenue Service as United States Gauger and Storekeeper. With the change of Administration he was separated from this service. In 1879, Mr. Adams began the publication of The Bulletin, in Louisville, a weekly newspaper, which soon became famous in the Fourth Estate for its enterprise. One of the exploits of The Bulletin was the publication in 1883 of an issue dated 1983—one hundred years in advance. It contained a lot of imaginary happenings which were supposed to occur in 1983, and many of the wonderful facts. The inter-planetary communication, which he also predicted may yet come to pass by 1983. Mr. Adams continued the publication of the Bulletin until 1886, when, believing that there was no future for him in the South, he decided to make his home in St. Paul, Minn. Arriving in this city on August 6, 1883, he began work on THE WESTERN APPEAL, a weekly magazine which was being published by Messrs. Thos H. Lyles and F. D. Parker, both deceased. In January 1887, he became manager of THE WESTERN APPEAL, soon after acquiring complete control of the business, and changing the name of the paper to THE APPEAL. In 1892, Mr. Adams was married to Ella B. Smith of St. Paul, who survives him. Their union was a happy one, and four children were born to them, of whom three are living, a son and two daughters. Aside from his newspaper work, Mr. Adams held several appointive political positions. On September 3, 1922, returning home from a Gospel meeting which he had attended, about to board a street car, Mr. Adams was struck by an automobile, receiving injuries which resulted in his death seven hours later at the City Hospital. During Mr. Adams' management of THE APPEAL it has never missed an issue, and has never been a vehicle for scandalous publication, nor attacks on the characters of private individuals. On account of the strength and vigor of the editors, THE APPEAL is acknowledged by the press to be one of the most powerful organs in defense of right and justice in the United States. Mr. Adams was absolutely fearless in his denunciation of those he believed to be in the wrong, or whose policies were inimical to the good of all Americans. In September, 1911, on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his editorship of THE APPEAL, in his address before several hundred of his friends who had gathered to help him celebrate the occasion he said: Little did I think when I came here in 1886 and did some work on THE APPEAL the same day of my arrival, that I would be here twenty-five years afterward and still be working on THE APPEAL. But one never knows what Fate has in store for him. If, however, I have earned the THE APPEAL. M. H. H. right to be paid the compliments that have been bestowed upon me tonight, I ought to pat myself on the back; and, if it will be necessary for me to use a shoe horn in putting on my hat, in the future, I cannot be very seriously condemned. These words, by Howard Arnold Walter, very aptly express how I feel about the matter: I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up—and laugh—and love—and lift." My friends, I assure you that this occasion is one of the happiest periods of my life among you, and I hope I may ever maintain the place that this large and representative gathering, coupled with the enormous extended, warrant me in believing I have in your esteem. There are very few persons who do not, for the good opinion of their fellow men, and I assure you I am not in the minority class. For the past quarter of a century, despite all counter infinctions—and they have been not a few—I have maintained THE APPEAL, it never having missed an issue in all that time. THE APPEAL may not have been; and, may not be now, all that some of you have thought it should be; and, in fact, it never was all I might, could, should or would have had it. No man has ever yet conducted a newspaper, or anything else, for that matter, that completely suited everybody—and never will. I know not how long I will be permitted by the Ruler of the Universe to encumber His footstool, but I shall in the future, as in the past, endeavor to merit the good will of the people of this commonwealth by doing as I have always done—the best I can. Then Mr. Adams read an original poem to express the impression he wished to leave upon his fellow men, as follows: "When I am dead, if men can say He helped the world upon its way. With all his faults of word and deed, Mankind did have some little need Of what he gave"—then in my grave No greater honor shall I crave. If they can say—if they but can— "He did his best, he played the man; His way were straight; his soul was dead." His failings not unkind nor mean; He loved his fellow men and tried To help them"—I'll be satisfied. But when I'm gone, if even one Can weep because my life is done, and feel the world is something bare Because I am no longer there; Call me a knave, my life misspeet—No matter. I shall be content. Resolutions from The Sterling Club, of which Mr. Adams was an honorary member, were then read by Mr. O. C. Hall as follows: St. Paul, Minnesota, August 8, 1922. Among the recent demands of the grim monster has been his call for our friend and brother, John Quincy Adams, a part of whose very active life was that of being charter, honorary member of the Sterling Club, of which club he expected expression of highest social and civic ideals. When, as friend Adams, an individual has spent over 30 years in a community as faithful husband, gentle father, proud home owner, conservative business man, true friend and leader of an unpopular people, death is not a lament but a triumph, and pretty words nor high, sounding phrases can express the person's activities or the loss of family or community. Though by native endowment, ability and Chesterfieldian manners the path of life was open to our friend and brother to choose his pleasure and comfort where he would, he chose the more useful but rougher course where he must take unkind rebuffs with his fellows in a world that rates character largely by color. His life calling placed him in the fore rank of his group as spokesman. There he functioned long and well. Always gentle, but always contending, never offending but always insisting to those other than his race he said, "If we are wrong, you made us so. We are better than we were yesterday. Give us a man's opportunity not sympathy." Therefore Be It Resolved: That we the Officers and members of THE STERLING CLUB make mention to the family of the unexpressable feeling of appreciation of the life and works of our friend and brother John Quincy Adams; and of our grief because of our loss. That we pray to a merciful heavenly father that as descending mantle of an ascending Elijah fell upon a gazing Elijah, may the spirit of John Quincy Adams fall upon his son, inspiring him to lead as father led. That collectively and severally the hands of the Sterling Club members be outstretched to in any manner alleviate the grief of the family now or in the future. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the Club. $2.40 PER YEAR RITES and that copies be sent the press and family. W. E. Alexander, President. R. H. Anderson, Chairman Board of Directors. J. E. Johnson, Committee. Resolutions from Gopher Lodge No. 105 were then read by Mr. Geo. W. Stewart, as follows: September 6, 1922. Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, The Ruler of the Universe, to take out of our midst our beloved Friend and Brother, and whereas for that reason we have met here this afternoon in the Temple of Him who teaches the Humility and Nobleness of Charity, and here in the Sanctuary of Him who is the great Exemplar of Justice, to gather in, and commemorate, the fruits of the splendid life of achievements so indefinitely imprinted upon life's pathway, and so humbly wrought upon the shields of humility by Brother John Quincy Adams, and where it is little can do for the dead and whereas the voice of praise cannot delight the closed ear nor the violence of censure vex it, yet whom of us here today could encompass such a thought about the life of him whose death has made a community among us to mourn. Therefore be it resolved that we members of the Gopher Lodge 105, The Improved Benevolent Protected Order of Elks of the World, with hands clasped and encircling the globe with our free hands, spreading light and happiness, and comfort and good will, and with our feet cemented to the Eternal fellowship of Brotherly Love rededicate ourselves today to the unblemished record and the soothing remembrance of this departed Brother, and may the sweet tones of the muffled gong echo and in the hearts of all a bankk into Eternity that a further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, a copy spread upon our Minutes and a copy sent to the Afro-American Press. Following the above resolutions, Mr. Stewart read an original poem dedicated to the memory of John Quincy Adams: TIS WELL Yes tis well The Evening Shadows lengthen Homes Golden Gate shine on our ravished sight. And though the tender tides we strove to strengthen Break one by one at Evening time, tis light! Tis well the way was often dull and weary The spirit fainted of't beneath its load.

DEATH OF EDITOR ADAMS It is the sorrowful task of those to are left behind to announce the magic death of John Q. Adams for years editor and publisher of HE APPEAL. Mr. Adams wasruck by an automobile Sunday, September 3, 1922. He suffered for four six hours and then peacefully passed into the Great Beyond. Thus passed away a great soul, a loving husband and father, and a good citizen. The details of his untimely death burial will be found in this issue. CARD OF THANKS.

ADAMS. # 14 ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S SHAME Sixteen years have passed since the body massacre of innocent colored mericans at Atlanta, Ga. It was of the bloodiest chapters in the story of the world. Many of the *programs*" of the semi-barbarous issian mujiks pale into insignificence before the blood-frenzy of Atata's Caucasian Christians. The act number of the mobbed and ordered people will never be known diary editors of the Atlanta News and the Atlanta Journal, owned by Hoax Smith, then governor of Georgia. Smith was recently nominated for governor and in Georgia that is equivalent to election. It is evident that public opinion supports Smith's policies. We reprint DuBois'. famous classic because we believe that the race should ponder over the wrongs it has suffered. THE APPEAL'S PLATFORM 1. THE APPEAL resents the claim so persistently made by many Caucasians that this is a "white man's country". The colored people are citizens by right and birth and the Federal Constitution specifically places all citizens on equality before the law. 2. THE APPEAL believes that the idea advanced by certain persons that the Caucasian race has been especially commissioned by God to rule all of the colored races is blasphemy. 3. THE APPEAL firmly believes that in a republic there can be but one kind of citizen, hence challenges the right of the government—federal, state or local—to discriminate in any way between citizens by the enactment of any law which specifies that the colored people must be separated from or treated differently from the great body of citizens. 4. THE APPEAL is opposed to class legislation of every kind. 5. THE APPEAL believes in manhood suffrage without any educational or property qualifications whatever, and contend that the law abiding man of good character, who does his duty as a citizen and risks his life in defense of the flag, should not be deprived of the ballot because he is poor and cannot read and write. Disfranchisement works irresistibly for the denial or abridement of all the related rights of citizenship, because a voteless man has no right which any one is bound to respect. 5. THE APPEAL believes that the schools supported by public taxation should be open to all regardless of race, color or creed and that every parent should determine the kind of education he wishes his children to receive. 6. THE APPEAL believes that the statement that the Southern Caucasians pay the taxes necessary to educate the Southern colored people is an economic absurdity. That each man in his place pays as much tax as any other man in the community is an economic truism which has never been disputed by any reputable sociologist or political economist from Adam Smith down to the present time. 7. THE APPEAL knows that the colored people have been misrepresented in the matter of crime. Enemies have endeavored to prove that colored people are a criminal people, but their statements have been disproved by statistics. Caucasian-Americans commit more and baser crimes than colored people. 8. THE APPEAL is opposed to mob law and believes that mob license is more dangerous to the well-being and perpetuity of society than the isolated infractions of the law by individuals. 9. THE APPEAL does not believe that the Southern Caucasians are the best friends of the race. The Southern Caucasian idea of friendship is the relation of superior and inferior. In many cases the 'colored person who gains the "friendship" of a Southern Caucasian does so at the expense of his manhood. THE APPEAL is not willing for the settlement of the race question to be left to the unjust, un-American, unchristian south for settlement. 10. THE APPEAL refuses to consider any proposition that the colored man relinquish any of the political or civil rights now possessed by the race. Every effort should be made to retain those which exist and to regain those which have been lost. THE APPEAL reaffirms its unalterable determination to continue to battle for the right to the end and come what may. THE APPEAL will never give up the contention for justice and the absolute equality of all citizens under the law. "AU REVOIR JAZZEBOS" It seems that the colored jazz artists who have become so popular in Paris will soon have to leave for home. A recent dispatch from Paris says: A regiment of colored jazz artists from the U. S. A. have musical Paris in the hollow of their hands. Any jazz band can anchor at a French cafe and put the S. R. O. sign in front before the end of the week. It's a gift. The terrible consequences, from the French point of view, is that jazzbazs scoop up all the money in sight, while honor graduates from the French academies can't get a look-in on restaurant jobs. The Frenchman for all his temperment, his shrugging of shoulders and talking with the hands, can't grab off the knack of making a saxophone whine or causing a snare drum to syncopate. Parisians dance to rag music with abandon but the talent to create it must be imported. The result is that native borsn curl up and starve, while the colored men gather big money. For the protection of the French artists a law was recently passed that on and after October 1, no orchestra may contain more than 10 per cent foreigners. That means "au revoir" to American jazz and the return of symphonic dance music to Paris. It may also mean thumping down for a concert that would be rolled dividends on the strength of jazz. Strong Editorial Utturances of the Late John Q. Adams, Militant Editor, Reflecting the Policies Which Made THE APPEAL a Powerful Moulder of Public Opinion ACCURSED BE' THEY IF THEY YIELD (Reprinted from The Appeal of October 25, 1913.) For more than a quarter of the century the editor of THE APPEAL has struggled to give the Afro-American people of the West a newspaper which would defend their rights. A complete file has been preserved and the editor is proud to say that not a single false note has been sounded. THE APPEAL has always advised its readers never to relinquish a civil right to their Southern brethren to regain their rights which have allied away because of the activities of jim crow propagandists. THE APPEAL has never been a profitable business proposition in itself, the editor has made his living out of his job printing office and from other sources of income, but he feels that he has done something to aid the people and the consciousness of the fight for the right compensates him for the years of hard work and the expenditure of thousands of dollars. The editor of THE APPEAL is a father and the one thing he has endeavored to impress upon the minds of children to impress self respect, especially as it relates to their social rights of American citizenship. He is a poor man and has little of this world's goods to bequeath them, but if they have learned their lesson he will suffer hardships and privations and suffer hardships rather than degrade their souls by willingly accepting any treatment which is in any way inferior to that accorded to other Americans, the well will pass into the Great Beyond happy in thought that he has left his offspring a priceless heritage. The editor of THE APPEAL would rather see all of his children in their great happiness in the even in their minds consider the proposition of becoming jim crowstis and if they are ever willing to give liberty and become service syphonists, may God's most awful curse be removed from them and their children and may their children's children be accursed through all their time and eternity. IF HARDING'S RIGHT, GOD'S WRONG 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 evinced due to the fact that he had studied the question. Of course Mr. Harding, 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 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 appointment of an inter-racial commission to conditions in the United States. There was no need for haste in announcing his view on a question which could not have been studied properly. Mr. Harding, in 1921, announced his intention to dowing to his many and pressing official duties, and it seems that the president has taken advantage of an opportunity to give 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 available to the South but imical to the real interests of the colored people. The President erroneously confounds "social equality" with amalgamation. He says that amalgamation exists, it has always existed and is always combined efforts of the law and public opinion have failed to prevent the mixing of the races. Throughout the ages there has been so much racial diversity today among scientists and ethnologists than among 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 of the white majority of the people of the United States mixtures of various races and the greater part of this majority is composed of people with more or less Negro blood. The racial mixing in the state is almost wholly illegitimate as the state has no marriage between the races a crime. Now as to social equality, that exists in some part of the United States and it is only in those parts where the President has more or less of social equality than 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 another equality nor respect for rights. The President has the right to be 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 man has the right to be patches say, "In the white section there was a silence which was absolute and stony, only one light flutter of applause came when the President asked that the Negro should be enunciated to the old massa approached and not the best possible imitation of the white man." This seemed to please a few of the whites who evidently visioned a "good Negro" of slavery days, who hat in hand bowed low the massa approached. The South the man approached. The North the 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 library, the jimcrow park, the jimcrow telephone booth and on ad nauseam. When Harding was a candidate for President, the APPEAL doubted that the President would square deal and was not dispatched to support him, but we were reassure REPRINTED FROM VARIOUS ISSUES by letters signed by Chairman Hays and Secretary Miller and many leading Republicans, as well as the jim-crow delegates, as well as those just to his allies. Also Editor William Monroe Trotter said that he had had a personal interview with the President and he had promised to aid in eliminating segregation. ThenAMEs will not fall you." assurances caused THE APPEAL to the ennuious 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 jim-crow colored men were appointed to jimcrow government positions in the army training camp. Jim-crow 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 clear that some jimcrow men accept this jimcrow settlement of matters. many colored people vetted. It is not stranger religion of the gentle G should appeal to the because it not only teaches it to his allies. Also Editor William Monroe Trotter said that he had had a personal interview with the President and he had promised to aid in eliminating segregation. ThenAMEs will not fall you." assurances caused THE APPEAL to the ennuious support. Our support probably, had little to do with the victory, but is mentioned to show that this paper was not prejudiced against him. It is nauseaating to give out by R. R. M. of Tuskegee, as he to the South in jimcrow now and then to make ing his oppressors. It is so suffer it, but little, but telegraphed all over the every time he opens colored people of the sink lower in the mines. Many of his wholly unknown friends that some jimcrow men accept this jimcrow settlement of matters. before the students of North Carolina, the THE APPEAL does not believe, as Mr. Harding puts it, that there is a "fundamental, eternal and unescapeable difference between the races. To do that, we must embrace Christianity. It is a distinct departure from the ideals of the founders of the Republic who declared that men are created equal and endowed with 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 this country." He argued against the thing which he has previously argued for. There are just as many differences between the individuals of any one race as their are between the people of any number of races. The difference in any form in the law is the difference in 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 God, who is declared to have 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 in France, Spain and Portugal, there have never been any racial hatred founded on the color of the skin and the same is true of South Central America. In these countries the population of black, Indian and other distinctions colored men have risen to the highest places in every branch of human endeavor. There are more full-blooded Negroes in Brazil than in the United States; and, counting the central population of black, Indian and other distinctions colored men the population totals over 30,000,000 who live together in perfect harmony, without any public differentiation of race. There are no social barriers whatever in Brazil and it is a complete refutation of the idea that there are social bars between the men and women who are citizens of a country. Color differentiation means the ascendency of one caste and the degradation of the other. Social equality does not necessarily mean amalgamation, but rather a matter of the individuals to determine how 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 own way are not Japanese and in spite of 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 relationships without regard to differentiation—simply as AMERICANS. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE The "jimcrow negroes" who are continually repeating "the North is no better than the South" know they are lying when they utter such rot. The oppression of the colored people has thwarted them. South that is North. Ninety percent of the lynching occurs in the South, and ALL of the disfranchisement and jimcrow laws. A little instance which is illuminating. A colored man was arrested in Chicago last week charged with having assaulted a white woman with a diaper diagnosed his case as dementia praecox and he was committed to the psychiatric hospital for treatment. What would have happened in Georgia? Well this is what did happen in Georgia last summer even when no white woman was involved. A collar was worn on his trousers and turn was shot by a white mob. He was taken to a hospital where he died shortly after. About midnight the white mob went to the hospital to get the wounded colored man and lynch him. Exasperated at finding the dead room, he drove the carriage it to the outskirts of the city and burned it to a crip. The charred remains were returned to the hospital. This happened in the city of Augusta, Ga., in the year of Our Lord. Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-one. THE "MENACE" OF BUDDHISM. A woman who has been a Christian missionary in Japan for 18 years called the attention to the Disciples of Christ, at a recent general conference to the growing "menace" of the Buddha priests and teachers around in increasing numbers and are urging the Japanese in the U. S. to have nothing to do with the Christian religion on the ground, that its followers call them inferior and oppress them. She is gaining among Americans, and the many colored people were being converted. It is not strange that the religion of the gentle Gantana Buddha should appeal to the colored people, because it does not teaches the equality of mankind, not teachinga. Orthodox Christianity in the U. S. teaches inequality of race and oppresses, disfranchises, lynches and burns colored Christians at the stake. It is aided in "keeping the nigger" in his place" by the Klu Kux and oppresses, barring the Jews and Catholics, kneels for blaming "flaming Cross" and swears to uphold "white supremacy." NAUSEATING. It is nauseating to read the rot given out by R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, as he travels through the South in jimcrow cars, stopping now and then to make speeches laud his oppressors. If he were the only one, he would matter little, but his words telegraphed all over the country, and every time he opens his mouth the colored people of the entire country sink lower in the minds of those who read. Many of his statements are widely found in fact. For instance in a book before the students of the University of North Carolina, the wires say he said: "The Negro race has advanced further than any similar number of color people anywhere on the globe because it has had the privilege of the white people of the South." Could thing with a smaller amount of truth and a greater amount of servility be compressed into one sentence? The census of Brazil shows that there are about 22,000,000 people in that country, and nearly 100,000 as many as there are in the United States according to census figures. And the colored people of Brazil, although they were once slaves and were not emancipated until 1888, a quarter of century after Lincoln's proclamation, in this manner the colored people in the cause they have reached the point where color does not count. They are absolutely free from any civil or social discriminations. The color line does not exist in Brazil, and the Brazilian is in every way the peer of the whitest of his countrymen. Principal Moton deems it a wonderful thing that his race "has had the privilege of coming into contact with some people of the South." Here are some examples of his contact: Two hundred and fifty years of slavery; enactment of the infamous Black Codes to retain slavery, in fact, after its abolition; segregation; denial of living wages; denial of facilities; disfranchisement; jimcrow movement; the Tuskegee Institute which furnishes Principal Moton his bread and butter is the gift of the North. Northern people have given 95 percent of the endowment fund, and the rest of the pensiones is begged in the North. The state of Alabama gives the mealy sum of about $3,000. Here is another gem from Principal Moton: "To the Southern white people of our language and our religion and all that we have done and all that we have advanced civilization." Think of a man who would say such things being the head of an institution which trains the youth. is it strange that many of us come out imbued with distorted ideas of our proper place in the world? Then Principal Moton came out in his persecution in which he said that "no Southern colored man wanted social equality." In that statement he showed his ignorance of the English language? He probably meant to say that the colored people were aware of the advantages with white people. Principal Moton may not wish social equality, but there are millions of colored people who do desire it. Social equality means, "equality in the collective body composing a community, especially when considered as subjects of the definition of a government. Here are some of the definitions of equality, same degrees with another or each other; uniform in condition or action; of just proportion or relation; equitable, just, impartial, exact; of the same importance and concern; not distinguished by any ground or preference. Social equality means the right to vote, the right to equal and identical accommodations on common carriers, the right to service in public places of refreshment and amusement, the right to residence anywhere one is able to buy or rent a home, the right to attend the nearest public school, the right to a legal trial when right which citizenship is a republic charged with crime, and every other carries with it. Principal Moton's dear friends of the South have denied all of these rights to the colored people, every effort or advancement has been made to prevent them from being if conducted on jimmy row lines. The purpose of the South always has been and is now, to segregate the colored people from other citizens and make them a parish class, despised by all and subject to the whims and caprices of Carolina, where Principal Moton made his speech, colored people are treated as a group apart from the white citizenship and subject to different treatment. He has suffered from all the insults he has received. They have made progress not because of segregation, but in spite of it. If the Southern white people had not placed hindrances, including murder, in their path, they would have been allowed to play the plane which has been attained by the colored people of Brazil. Some of Principal Moton's activities in the past should not be forgotten. Shortly after he succeeded B. Washington as the head of Tuskegee, his wife was ejected from a Pullman sleeper because she was colored. According to the associated press Moton made no attempt to defend her, but stated that he had advised her not to attempt to ride in the plane. Moton was in the world war Principal Moton was sent to France as the special representative of President Wilson, the arch enemy of the colored race The Crisis and other periodicals and many colored soldiers asserted that instead of investigating and endeavoring to correct the outrageous treatment to which the colored troops were subjected, he rushed around, besieged, besieged selling the colored soldiers to "give" them the first boat for the U. S. "in order to attend a conference at Tuskegee." For a colored man to laud the brutal South, which has heaped unspeakable wrongs upon his people for years, is a disgusting exhibition of racism. You can, an Irishman approving the murders by the British soldier; conceive if you can, a Jew condoning the pogroms in Russia, Poland and the Balkan states; think of an East Indian lauding the English who blew the mouths of his countrymen from the mouths of his countrymen if you can visualize these things then you can get a true picture of what it means for a colored man to laud the South. JIM CROW LEADERS. We had in a recent issue a symposium of views of colored editors in various parts of the country on the country of the President Harding in Birmingham, Alabama. A later issue of the leader developers. 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 leaders developed, the Platet says: THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS KIND OF LEADERS. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS KIND OF LEADERS DEVELOPING THIS KIND OF LEADERS IN LATER YEARS HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE PRINCIPLES OF MAN H O O D, OUT WHICH NO RACE CAN RISE TO THE 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 Booken 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, the President Harding, President of the United States, announced 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 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 grood negro" pat on the shoulder, the man has increased so enormously that it has 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 long endured for life to wash out his unwise behavior too late. Although it may be news, 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. The greater humanity could befall the colony people than the harvesting of a new crop of "jimcrow negro leaders" MOTON'S LOST OPPORTUNITY Moton had the great opportunity of his life to strike a blow for freedom when he was on the platform as the alleged representative of the colored people. Had he been a brave and fearless leader, when he learned of the segregation of the colored people the examiner had would have turned to President Harding to ask President of the United States, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Before making my set address, I must make a protest against the segregation and humiliation of the colored people at these exercises dedicated to the memory of the Great Emancipation of the resentative one-eighth of the people of the United States I say that unless the harriers are torn down and every vestige of discrimination removed my prepared address will remain unspoken and the only words I will be the words I have just voiced. Let me go into the records as my speech." Such a statement would have created a sensation. It would have brought home to the audience the infamous state of affairs into which the nation has drifted. It would have moton a real leader and his words would have gone thundering down the ages. Moton had not the courage to say it. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES OVERAL OPPORTUNITIES. President Obama and Secretary Hughes "have bestowed" plants from Americans in the near east and have demanded equal opportunities for Americans in Persia and Mesopotamia. It seems that those who kick get at least some of the complain about. And the President wants us to take notice if the colored people kicked hard enough and in unison. While the administration is quick to come to the aid of "Americans abroad," it does not hesitate to curse "Americans at home." Colored Americans have been jimcrowed in America here in America. The President's speech Alabama and Georgia were cursed trotic American and double curses because some lickspitte "leaders" attempted to condone them. IT PAYS TO KICK The American Legion city committee of Wilmington, Del., objected seriously to the plan of the general committee to having the Norman D. Seger separate division of colored people instead of with the regular division assigned to the American Legion on Memorial Day. The Legionaires insisted that Schoenstet be in line with the other three people, and that it would withdraw from the area unless the discriminatory ban would be lifted. It always pays to kick.

Mr. Adams was 74 years old, and is survived by his wife and children. Mr. Adams express our deepest sympathy in the loss of a kind and devoted husband and father. Mr. Adams was a man of sterling qualities; he was highly esteemed by all who knew him for his kindness, his generosity and his kindness. His zealous efforts in behalf of his race were rewarded with great success, as he has done more for the cause of the colored man in the Northwest than any other one man. Mr. Adams wrote and enjoyed the friendship and respect of his fraternal brethren. Defective Page ST. PAUL WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNECOTA'S CAPITAL.

THE INSURANCE THAT LAPSED A World War veteran died at the age of twenty-six in a middle Western city a month ago leaving his widow and his baby son to face the world without funds. He had permitted his War Risk insurance policy to lapse several months before his death and he had never renewed it. The most poignant fact about this tragedy is the failure of this ex-service man to reinstate his insurance before his fatal illness and thus insure his family an estate of $10,000 which was the amount of the policy upon which he had paid premiums during the war. He had been seriously ill for a year, suffering from a disease whose earliest symptoms had developed during his eighteen months in France. The regulations governing both War Risk term insurance and converted insurance provide that if a person is suffering with a disease or injury incurred in or aggrivated by active military or naval service during World War II, that he may reinstate his policy provided that he is not totally and permanently disabled, by the payment of all premiums in arrears, together with interest at the rate of 5 per cent per year compounded annually from the due date of each premium. This provision, remember, applies to men who are suffering from disease or injury—men who would be refused new policies or reinstatements of term or converted insurance may not be made after a man is totally and permanently disabled. Men who need to pay up all back premiums—they need only pay premiums covering two months to have their insurance reinstated. Ordinary prudence dictates the necessity of every ex-service man knowing just what his government insurance rights are. Six hundred thousand veterans are now carrying government policies. How many of the remaining 4,000,000 were carrying policies but let them lapse, are familiar with their own rights? If any ex-service man has permitted his insurance to lapse, he should immediately get in touch with the service officer of his Legion post or write direct to the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, C. D. Hibbard. District Manager, Minneapolis, Minn., and find out just the conditions on which his insurance can be reinstated. VETERAN CITY FIREMAN DIES Philip H. Anderson, Retired Saint Paul Fireman Dies After Short Illness. Philip H. Anderson, 61 years old, a retired St. Paul fireman, died at his home, 881 Marion street, Monday, September 4, of kidney trouble. Mr. Anderson was born in Lebanon, Tenn., in 1861 and came to St. Paul in 1886. On January 4, 1888, he married Lola Alexander who survives him.

Philip Anderson was retired from the fire department four years ago with the rank of lieutenant, after a continuous service of 30 years. He was eligible for retirement after 20 1914 PHILIP H.

Three years ago he went to work for the Crex Carpent Co. as special policeman and day watchman which position he held until one month ago when he was taken sick.

Lawrence where he was employed for several years and for three years was associated with the largest undertaking establishments of Kansas City. He has a large place all newly decorated and furnished with office, waiting room and a chapel that will comfortably seat two hundred on the ground floor. The another room and worship are on another floor. He invites the public to call Ramsey—s. Probate Court. Ramsey, the Estate of Charles M. Roberts, deceased. Dated at St. Paul this 22nd day of August, 1922. The Court: N. A. A. C. P. FURNISHES SENATORS DATA ON LYNCHING Following the action of the Senate steering committee on August 30 in placing the Dyer anti-lynching bill on the program for consideration at the present session of congress, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent to those members of the Senate who are expected to support the bill on the grounds that auchenidia or lynching, so it was announced today by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. This data consists of authentic statistics and figures giving the number of known lynchings that have taken place in the United States during the past thirty-three years, together with the names of the victims, the place of the lynchings, circumstances and the alleged crime charged. These figures will be especially valuable in contradicting the argument which is certain to be repeated in the Senate that Negroes are lynched only for the crime of murder only for the awful funeral of the N. A. A. C. P. when the anti-lynching bil was being considered in the House of representatives and the friends of the bill in the House were able to meet with facts and figures the false statements made by the congressmen from the South. THE HENRIETTA In addition to statistics and figures the Association has sent to each senator pamphlets published by that organization which give numerous examples of the barbary and savagry which so often accompany lynchings. Many reports in these pamphlets of burning alive at the stake are taken verbatim from accounts which appeared in the newspapers of the communities in which the burnings took place. This forestalls any contention which might be made that the horrible details given are exaggerated. Each senator has been furnished with this material. ```markdown ``` CITATION FOR HEARING WILL Witness the Judge of said Court, this 14th day of September A. D. 1822. A. E. DOE. Judge of Probate.
