The Appeal

Strong Editorial Utterances of the late John Q. Adams, Militant Editor of THE APPEAL Reflecting the Policies Which Made THE APPEAL a Powerful Moulder of Public Opinion If You Have. Aught That,s Fit To Sell, Use Printer's Ink And Use It Well. VOL. 38 NO. 39 Strong Editorial Utter Refle APPEAL OPPOSES ARMY COLOR LINE. THE APPEAL wrote the Secretary of War for information relative to the segregation of colored Americans in the army. The following is the reply: WAR DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON. I am in receipt of your letter of May 14th, in which you take exception to the idea of organizing colored troops into a separate division for National Guard service. In reply to the letter, the organization of a colored division has not been ordered by the War Department for peace time National Guard service, it is strictly in accordance with the policy of the Army. This policy shall be organized into complete and separate divisions whenever the necessity arises for the formation of such units in time of war. This policy is based upon the experience gained by the Army in the country's military history. It was carried out during the World War in the organization of the 92nd and 93d Divisions which saw overseas service, and I am surprised that this plan which met with such thorough appraisal of the time should now be objected. I think that you must have been incorrectly informed as to the War Department's attitude on this question for years is the first criticism of this policy which we have received. We have seen that the officers received numerous letters from colored citizens endorsing the organization of combat divisional units of colored membership and objecting to the fact that the War Department has found it necessary (in view of limited applied training) that the different training units scattered over wide areas) to restrict for the present the organization of colored troops in the National Guard to those units that operate directly under orders of the War Department, which do not enter into the composition of a division. This is the reply of THE APPEA St. Paul, Minn., June 28, 1921. To Secretary Weeks: Hon. John W. Weeks. I have received your letter without date written in reply to my letter of May 14, asking information relative to the formation of a separate colored division of the National Guard. While I am pleased to learn that no peace time I regret to ordered for peace time, I regret to be the policy is the policy of the War Department to organize separate divisions at any time, either in peace or war. The matter of organizing colored soldiers into separate units is fundamentally wrong, and I believe unconstitutional. It is a wrong which has colored troops, but the continuation of a wrong does not make it right. It is a wrong which the World War, fought as it was claimed "to make the world safe for democracy," should have righted. It is wrong because it is it. It is wrong because it takes the colored soldiers out of their proper places in the states in which they live and makes them a segregated part of the Federalized National Guard. It denies their rights as citizens of their respective states in the states in which they live and makes them a segregated status which is not applied to other groups of Americans, such as Germans, Irish, Russians, French Poles, Spanish, Portuguese, Danes, Swedes, British, Austrians, Hungarians, Serbians, Bulgarians, Belgians, etc.; and it is not applied to Indians, Chinese, Koreans, Javanese, East Indians, Burmese, and other colored races. If the colored man is a citizen, he is entitled to ALL the rights of citi-zenship and this includes the right to be on an absolute equality with all other citizens. It is unjust for the government to single out him from the women who compose American citizenship and place upon him the bishop of a parish caste. I am sorry to learn that I am the first to protest against this wrong; but trust that from now on protests may come in by the thousands, to the end that you may be induced to change this policy of your predecessors. Very truly yours, J. Q. ADAMS, Editor THE APPEAL WILL BE DISAPPOINTED The imperialistic Harding administration is absolutely opposed to giving immediate independence to the Philippines and the Filipino independence country to plead in this country soon to plead in the case probably is doomed to failure. Both the President and the Secretary of War, Weeks are opposed to independence. Of course the United States solemnly promised to give the Filipinos free independence from its cause probably country well supplied with warships and money and the people to whom the promise is given are weak and defenseless? No instructions issued by independence commission of the Philippines to the second Filipino mission says at the outset: "Gentlemen, the mission shall can people of granting us our independence as soon as stable government can be established in our country be, without delay, complied with." Before the President and congress of the United States this just demand of the Filipino people. The sacred promise made by the Americas SOUTHERN "FORWARD" BUNK. Recently there was a layman's conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, held at Lake Junkasland, N.C., and one Rev. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Ga., took the stage and said: "The next big forward step in the inter-racial readjustment is to come from the South, and the reason for it is perfectly apparent. The South can have the same privilege than the North has the social prestige to do this. The social question figures largely in the race question. So the South can, when it will take the leadership in inter-racial co-operation. I believe that the South will assume the leadership with the same sort of pride and determination as it led the nation. It has been the universal opinion of those who have come in close touch with the South. They do not desire or seek social equality. They have asked for police protection, better housing and living conditions and a chance to develop into useful American citizens with every determination to maintain their own social life and the purity of the two racial stocks." It is true that some of the jim-crow "leaders" of the South have said that they do not want anything but police protection and do not care to be involved in the lives of people of the North will fight to the last ditch against any scheme of the South to impose its plan of settlement upon the country. They know that the South has, in all its "forward" movements proceeded like the crab—backward. They have been citizens of South. Have they been disfranchised, discriminated against, segregated, degraded in every way, denied education, lynched, burned at the stake. There have been riots and lynchings and for every lynching, the North there have been 50 in the South. Nowhere in the South have the colored people any part in the local government, and first of all they wish the right to vote and participate in the governments under which they live. The colored people know that a restored Christian church has remained a Christian institution, growing anarchy, and now, when it speaks it comes with a jimcrow plan. And as usual the South talks of "social equality." The real intelligent colored people all over the country do not wish to be segregated from other American citizens in the enjoyment of CIVIL RIGHTS. They do not wish to be designated as parishs. They do not wish to be designated as intermarriage, and it in the veriest way say that it means intermarriage for white and colored people to ride in the same car or to go to the same library. In the North, where there are no jimcrow laws, colored and white people go together in public places without intermarriage. Marriages between white and colored people occur, and that is seldom, a long story in the papers about the event. In the South, where there are all of the UNLAWFUL mixing goes on as it is promoted by the difference in the social status of the white and colored people. The surest way to "maintain racial purity" would repeal the rights of the Southern jimcrow people are a voteless people and on a lower social and civil plane, the illegal racial mixing will continue. That is history. In his enumeration of what the colored people desire, Rev. Alexander omitted two of the most important things—the right to vote and the abolition of public segregation. There is absolutely no hope of a settlement in the South, just American lines if the South is not a leadership, especially if that leadership is to eb vested in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which has ever been the foe of the colored people from the time of the split over slavery in the forties up to the pre-1960s, which refuses to merge with the Methodist Episcopal Church, North, because the latter church elected colored bishops. WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS. Some members of the Episcopal board of missions favor the raising of a fund of $1,000,000 for the purpose of converting the Jews, "because they are losing faith in Judaism and becoming atheistic. This move brought a quick retort from many of the rabbis, three of whom we quote: "Attempt to convert" the Jew have never been successful," said Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple, "and the thronged synagogues refute the charge that the American Jew is straying from his faith." Rabbi Stolz said that reports that the Episcopal Church might be induced to appropriate large sums for Christianizing the Jews were too ridiculous to discuss. Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Temple Jerusalem was stronger than it had ever been and that the American Jew was one of its greatest factors. In Europe they have had for him THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1922 verting" the Jews by surrounding the dreds of years, a great way of "conghetto and murdering men, women and children. In Hungary, recently, hundreds of Jews have professed Christianity to save the lives of themselves and families, but all of the ceramics and baptism were overprinted in red, "Not good in case of pogroms (massacres)." The Jews of the United States will not rush to Christianity because they know that American Christians would then segregate them and compel them to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch them just as they have their colored brethren. A BLACK YEAR FOR COLORED PEOPLE. The first year of the Harding administration has been a distinct appointment to right-minded, clear-inking, far-sighted Christian Americans, far-sighted Christian Americans who have been placed by fate under the rule of the U. S. A. The Filipinos, a colored race, have been denied the freedom which was solemnly promised them more than twenty years ago. In 1921, there was a clear distinction between the policies, by the man who had been picked to rule the islands and whose policy had evidently been decided upon before the results of the "investigation" had been received in the U. S. A. The American regime has been sent to govern the Porto Ricans, the majority of whom are colored people, who are anxious to get from under the American yoke. Santo Domingo wishes to be free from the American regime hangs on without rhyme or reason. The man sent to "investigate" and rule Haiti, is the very man who was the ruler when the alleged outrages against the American regime nearly all black people and Catholics lignion. Not satisfied with the "pacification" outrages, the oppressors have added insult to injury, by forcing jimcrowism into the Catholic Church. Now the cases are now celebrated for colored white people. That is one of the sacrileges of the rule in Haiti of the U. S. A. The Harding administration has failed to recognize Mexico, although jimcrowism are now stable and there is no reason that the whole republic as there is in the city of Chicago in the U. S. A. The population of Mexico is approximately 70 per cent Indian; 25 per cent mixed white Indian and Negro Caucasian. More than 5 per cent pure Caucasian. When the President was a candidate he addressed a large delegation of colored people and said, "Fellow Americans, fear not, America will not be handed out some very touching phrases couch1 in the past Bostonnes, in which he made a plea for more rights for the colored people. Elder Will H. Hays and his assistants, including the "jimcrow" canam bureum unite Lincoln and Peter Johnson and the president that the election of the Republican ticket would make this country practically a territorial paradise. It was not long after March 4, 1921, that it became evident that a police of segregation was being formed and practically all of the jimcrowism of the Wilson regime have been continued and many new wrinkles have been added. The speeches of President Harding in South last all, in which he practiced segregation was invaded out of the Republican party and in effect endeavored to relegate them to an inferior status in the social order were a veritable curse upon a group of loyal citizens. The segregation was invaded the states in which colored had an actual part in the party organizations and has practically decreed that they must "fall in behind the white man," or get out. The administration started a K. K. K investigation which was suddenly called into any reason for the action being given. A few jimcrow offices have been thrown out like bones to a horde of hungry dogs and a few jimcrow colored men have been base enough to accept them. It has been a dark year for the dark peoples. The writer has been an active Republican for more than fifty years and still believes in the principles laid down by Lincoln, Grant, McKinley, and Roosevelt, and it is with respect that the present national administration has strayed from the G. O. P. landmarks. CRINGING AWAKENS CONTEMPT We cannot win by blinking at facts or by ignoring fundamental principles. Editor J. Q. Adams of the ST.PAUL APEI音响 is sound to the core. Adams have to accept his kind of leadership to maintain 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 except for us as it should 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 wil blaze the way to our financial, industrial and political entrenchment in this country where none will be most磊凄 leaders will take notice and govern themselves accordingly. The foregoing from the Planet of Richmond, Va., edited by Hon. J. John Mitchell, Jr., who recently polled 20,000 votes as candidate for governor, said he was assisting the editor but we accept it as the cause for which THE APPEAL has fought for nearly forty years rather than a personal compliment. THE "NIGGER" IN THE SEGREGA WOODEN FIRE "Prof. Neval H. Thomas, a school teacher in Washington and an active member of its N. A. A. C. P., concludes a vigorous news article published in the Cleveland Gazette with words which answer the boasts of a Negro enterprise, too blind to see that liberally to any movement that will keep Colored people away from him and make them acknowledge their inferiority. In fact, the most dangerous enemy of democracy with which we have to contend, and the most servicemen to any movement, are organized charity. The large donors Negro "charities" are making profitable investments when, through some well-paid Negro, they can establish a separate Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A. social settlement, or school. These inwardly masses apart, so that, on the principle of "divide and conquer," these wealthy "donors" can exploit. So, the collection of large "contributions" by these Negr. segregationists is no achievement, but another barrier to the program of these international charities" boasted of getting the money to build a Negro Y. M. C. A. in the great city of Chicago. If that institution remains there long the great civil rights law of Illinois will be null and void, its presence there has popularized the separate schools and segregation as to homes for our people. The colored man must fight to a win. The uncolored man can any public or semi-public institution. THE COLORED DIVISION (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 to the 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 suggested that a publican 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 another group of American citizens. One Lasker, a Jew, was made head of the U. S. Shipping Board. Representatives of other racial groups have been given places, but not in segregated bureaus. No President of the United States would dare offer a Jew a place as the head of a segregated Jewish bureau. There is no such place and never will be. Only colored people are segregated by this alienation. 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 appointment let them be on a level with those given to other groups of American citizens. Better no places at all than those which lower the status of the race and automatically make their holders defenders of segregation. STEPPING OVER THE LINE. The recent revelation of the census that the increase of 6.5 per cent in the "negro" population of the country during the last decade was the lowest on record has been accounted for in many ways, but there is still another explanation. We are the source of inaccuracies in all United States Census reports. The enumeration of the "negro" population is based on a false premise, and it follows that the figures are untrustworthy. The mixing of the races has been going on for 300 years and still continues in spite of law and public opinion. In many cases it is impossible to determine who is "white" and who is "colored" in the U. S. and why is it necessary? There are millions of so-called "white" people in whose veins runs Afric's warm blood, and yet they are unaware of its presence. The editor is personally acquainted with hundreds who are known as "white," and have a percentage of Negro blood in their eyes, and whose children have not the remotest idea that they are "colored." And if the editor knows so many there must be many known to others, but unknown to the writer. During the last decade, because of the increase in race prejudice, thousands of "colored" people who would have been "colored" to have been "colored" if they could have the rights of American citizenship and economic opportunity have simply stepped over the color line and become "white." This is not so difficult. Every "colored" person is the fact, and if any "white" reader doubts it, just ask any "colored" person if the statement is true. Recently the [editor met a man once "colored" who is now "white," and in conversation, he said: "I realized that there was no hope of a boy or my children in Alabama, not only the white people but because Negroes were preaching that we ought not to try to vote or do anything else that the white people objected to. So I withdrew the money I had in the house from my interests and cut loose from my friends who were willing to endure conditions in Alabama without protest; and I am now living in Iowa as a man, in that word implies. Eight other members of my family and other families from my neighborhood have done and have settled so far as they themselves are concerned, and we have not forgotten our brethren we left behind as we all give about a tenth of our incomes to aid them in various ways." The "white" people who imagine that people with need in barring all persons with need in Nebraska greatly mistaken. There are few communities in the United States in which there are not people of mixed blood taking part in all industrial, professional, civic and social activities. The census plan of designating all persons with even the smallest percentage of Negro blood is basically wrong and is done in no other country. Really segregation is just as much out of place in the census as it is in anything else in a democracy. All persons born in the states, no matter what their race or color, should be classed as Americans. AMERICAN8—THAT'S ALL. For many years it has been the custom to treat colored people as allens, although they are more than American birth; and there are no demony deny of the colored people to regard themselves as allens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" because they have not more than half, though they have not more than one-sighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be the ones and demand justice because they are American and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be protected them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. ALL HAIL. "THE HAMMER!" For many years we have heard a lot about throwing the "hammer" into the discard and giving time to "constructive work." Many have said: Build up; never tear down. But knocking and tearing down are just as necessary in the economy of things, as building up. Battering down Wrong is a useful process and must usually precede the building up of flight. "Foul as it is, hell itself is defiled by the foul presence of John. That was the terrible verdict of the temporaries of King John of England. In his person were combined in insolence, selfishness, unbridled just cruel. In Business, Fortunes Are Not Realized Unless Your Goods Are Amply Advertised. ty, shamelessness and tyranny. The barons rose against him and demanded a change A. D. 1215, they invited the King to a little meeting at Runnymede and they informed the absolute material modification must be some material power of the King John did not relish the demand but he realized that he stood alone and that the barons had their little "hammers" up their sleeves and were ready to use them, so he granted the Magna Charta. The Great Charter was discussed, agreed to, and given a day. Thus modern democracy and liberty had their origin in "hammer" work. In the sixteenth century the Catholic Church had grown corrupt. The priests were guilty of immorality, extortion and all the other crimes in the decalogue. The Inquisition was working overtime. When conditions were at their worst, Martin Luther appeared in armored with a "hammer" and he hated them. He braced Christianity and this in the strongly entrenched in the church. Thus began the Reformation which separated the Protestant church from the Romish See, and conferred inestimable benefits on mankind. For many years the American colonies had been oppressed by England, the mother country. The colonies without representation. Mother England fused to heed the cries of her children, so in 1775, the colonists revolted, the first blood shed being that of Crispus Attucks, a mulatto, whose valor the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has commemorated in enduring granite columns. The colonists continued "hammering" of the colonists finally brought the liberty which was proclaimed, July 4, 1776. In the seventeenth century, African slavery was inaugurated in America. William Wil伯force and others "hummered" at the vile wrong in England. The agitation was continued until the year when the abolition of slavery in all British colonies. Bond-service had a strong hold in the United States, but the abolitionists had already unheated their "hummers." William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglas, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Beecher Stove, Charles Sumner and hundreds of others "hammered" the great evil until the slave hold, rebellion came, when "hammers" were grenade and with the assistance of nearly 200,000 former slaves, who fought nobly, the great blot was wiped from the escutcheon. The work of the hammer is not yet complete. Thousands of social wrongs still exist which must be hammered until they disappear. Thousands of men, such as women slavers, jimcrowners and their ilk, men who would barter their birthrights, must be hammered until they beg for mercy and reform or are knocked into hell. Great is the hammer! Long may it exist to knock down the Wrong; to build up Right. PROTEST AGAINST INJUSTICE. We trust that our editorial friends will print strong editorials and write letters to the Secretary of War protesting against the color line in the army, and advise the writing of letters of protest to every cabinet member portesting the color line in the various departments. And ask the President to abolish segregation where possible. Let us stand together for the absolute abolition of the color line in American citizenship. DEATH OF ABDUL BAHA. A cable from Haifa Syria, announced the death in that city of Abdul Baha Abbas, one of the greatest men of the day and the leader of the Bahistian movement. Abdul Baha, the servant of God, trumpeted the United States in 1912 and visited St. Paul among other places. He was the guest of the large congregation of Bahaists in Chicago the latter part of April and early in May in 1912 and on May 1, he dedicated the site at the Sheridan road bridge in Wilmette, a suburb of Chicago where the Bahaists are now a temple in a town with millions of dollars, to the world center of Bahism. Abdul Baha was born in Teheran, Persia. He was the successor of the Bab, "gateway of knowledge," who began about 1844 proclaiming throughout Islam the coming of a headway until executed at the age of 31. The noble father of Abdul Baha was Mirza Hossein Ali of Nour, a disciple of the Bab. Father and son were banished in 1868 to Akka, a prison city in Syria. Forty years later the Young Turks overthrew the despotic regime in Constantople, and Abdul Baha was fainted. The death of Abdul Baha will be buryed by millions of his co-religionists all over the world and it is now claimed that there is at least 50,000,000 of them, who practice as well as preach that "of one blood God made all nations." There are many thousands of colored people in the United States who have left orthodox Christianity and are now because of hypocrisy of the so-called Christians on the color question. Bahaisism is a social reform. It aims at the freeing of mankind from religious, social and political yokes. Among the things for which it stands out are the use of a language, a parliament of men with representatives from all countries for $2.40 PER YEAR the settlement of international disputes, universal education, a perfect civilization founded on simplicity and co-operation, and emphasis on the purposes of life. In this world movement which found adherents of almost every religion—Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zorastrianism, Confucianism, Judaism and Christianity. Almost every globe contributes adherents to the organization for international brotherhood. People came to the city of Acaa from all parts of the world to see and talk with Abdul Bah Abbas. His family has a regular Babel. Within it gathered peoples of all races and A CURSE, NOT A BENEFACTION The recent offer of Julius Rosenwald, a wealthy Jew of Chicago, to give money to aid in the organization of segregated Young Men's Christian Association will not in the end be the colored people. If he had come with his offer to the Southern States the help they have been so great, but to include the whole country, he is doing a great wrong, from which it will take hundreds of years for the country to recover. He wrongs not only the colony, but he wrongs the whole people by catering to an un-Christian prejudice. It is surprising that a man of Jewish ancestry whose people have been for thousands of years and are even now the victims of race hatred would increase because the race hatred between white and black is of the United States, for there is no questioning the fact that such establishments have served to increase the prejudice of the white people against their colored brothers, as the white people of any kind of segregated semipublic If Mr. Rosenwald had told the Central Y. M. C. A.'s in the North that he would give money only on condition that these quasipublic institutions be open to colored men as freely as the white men, other races, even the scum of the earth the would have been a true benefactor. "GENTLEMEN OF THE MINIMUM." In 1917 during the world war, a number of colored men were called to meet at Washington, at the suggestion of Secretary of War Baker, and they were asked what they wanted. They stated that they really wanted nothing, that's what they said amounted to THE APEAL, the Boston Guardian and a few other papers, under the head "Gentlemen of the Minimum" who were asked what that was that was the proper time to demand the abolition of Jimcrowism in the army and if it was not done at that time, the future would show that a great mistake had been made. The contentions of THE APEAL and the other papers. Jimcrow lines were rigidly drawn even on the battlefields, the American colored soldiers were shamefully treated, but they fought on and many thousands gave their pretext to make the world safe for democracy." Now by a strained interpretation of the new army bill Secretary Baker practically excludes colored men from entering the federalized national army, and men they are to go in as parishs in "pioneer" segregated regiments. "The gentlemen of the minimum" ought to hang their heads in shame. IT MUST NOT BE The proposition to establish a playground for COLORED children in St. Paul is un-American and THE APPEAL is opposed to it. In nine-tenths of the plans to degrade the colored people into a parish class are conceived in the brains of people who call themselves Christians. In the majority of cases when the colored man is kicked down it is done "nothing" and "in the name of the Lord." No doubt some of the promoters believe that they are doing a great thing for the colored people of Saint Paul but they are mistaken. No greater evil could come to Saint Paul and we as the colored people, that the scion to segregate one group of citizens. It is a thing which will serve to inflame the fires of race prejudice. It is inconceivable that any colored people could so bellittle them as be parties to so infamous a scheme, that they would whether it is so intended or not. We are glad to know that the superintendent of playgrounds opposes the plan. The decent self-respecting people of Saint Paul must fight the nefarious people who should oppose it. IT MUST NOT BE!

HOW TO ESCAPE FROM EVIL: —Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil bait you shall any plague or plague give nigh thy dwelling. he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 9:1-91. THE APPEAL'S PLATFORM (Reprinted from THE APPEAL September 15, 1903.) 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 in 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. THE APPEAL is opposed to class legislation of every kind. 4. THE APPEAL believes in manhood suffrage without any educational or property qualifications whatever, and contend that the lawabiding 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 taxation 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. "FOR NEGRO PRESS EXCLUSIVELY." THE APPEAL during the war, patriotically published many pages of free advertising of Liberty Loans, Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps, Food Administration notices, etc., and at a great expense to the publisher. It was a duty which every American owed to his native land. We are now receiving a lot of copy headed (For the Negro Press exclusively) which will not appear in THE APPEAL. It is ridiculous to send out such stuff and really an insult to the colored soldiers, who fought for democracy. Thrift is a very important matter for ALL Americans, but it is not limited by color or race or creed and the identical matter should be sent to every group of Americans, unless it be translated into some foreign language for the benefit of foreigners who can not read English. The colored people speak the language of their native country—English. In the future as in the past THE APEAL will continue to print a portion of the official matter it receives but no jimcrowm matter. THE APEAL is not a "negro" per. For years it has had at its business heading THE APPEAL An American Newspaper and that is what it is. THE APPEAL believes in Americanism for every American of every race, color or creed. To send out copy sheets prepared "exclusively for the Negro press" is an insult to the intelligence, patriotism and Americanism of 12,000,000 English speaking AMERICANS, who wish no special privileges. THE REASON WHY. A distinguished foreigner who is touring the United States had this to say relative to his impressions of the race question in this country: "I have always been interested in what is called the race question in the United States and since my arrival I have endeavored to study it from every viewpoint and if possible find some reasons for its existence. "After I had met so large a number of intelligent, well educated, refined and cultured colored people I was at a loss to understand the reasons for the bitter race prejudice and the attempts in various parts of the country to segregate people of color. "That a body so-called Christians should find it necessary to even discuss the question of segregating any class of people was so contrary to the spirit of Christianity that I was greatly surprised; but after a Southern delegate had in a vigorous speech opposed segregation, I was dumb-founded to see a bishop of a colored Methodist church arise and make a speech favoring the separation of his branch from the proposed union of Methodism. He referred to his members as "white folks" Negroes" and said they wished to be set apart. It was a disgusting revelation. "The whole thing is now clear. Some ignorant, short sighted self-seeking leaders are seeking segregation in the church for some personal reasons. Evidently they are not versed in history or they would know that they are playing with fire. If they are segregated in the House of the Lord, segregation civilly and socially follows as a natural sequence. Old colored men who were reared in slavery are apt to have slavish ideas and the only hope of the colored people is that the young men, the clear-headed thinking young men, will take charge of the situation and push to the rear the trucking leaders who are willing to sell their birthright for a mess of potage." The headlines say: "Texans Lynch a Colored Man. Cause Unknown." O, yes, the cause IS known. HE WAS COLORED. That's enough in Texas. 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. A complete file has been prepared, and the editor is proud to say that not a single note has been sounded. THE APPEAL has always advised its readers never to relinquish a civil right and to aid their Southern neighbors. Many rights which have slipped away from the activities of jim crow propagandists. THE APPEAL has never been a profitable business proposition in itself, but he has done so by himself of his job printing ads and发 other sources of income, but he feels that he has done something to aid the colored people and the consciousness of having fought for the rights of thousands him for the years of hard work and 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 his students is respect, especially as it relates to the 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 and suffer hardships and privations will they rather than degrade their souls by willingly accepting any treatment which is in any way inferior to that accorded to other Americans, the kids will pass into the Great Beyond happy in his height that he has left his offspring a priceless heritage. The editor of THE APPEAL would rather see all of his children in their own way, even in their minds consider the proposition of becoming jim crowswits and if they are ever willing to give up liberty and become service sycophants, may God's most awful curse be overcome in their children and may their children's children be accursed through all 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 evident in his speeches. As a result, he had studied only one side of the race. Of course Mr. Harding is right when he says that the colored man should have political, educational and economic rights, but he is wrong when he says that he is not entitled to every right to which every other group of Americans is entitled. The president has no right to say that he is not entitled to the right 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 an 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, 1921, announced his intention to doowing to his many and pressing official duties, and it seems that the President has taken advantage of an opportunity to pay upon the public ear, for the purpose of acting a sentiment in favor of his ideas on the subject, which were evidently obtained from individuals and books favorable to the South but humilical to real interests of the colored people. The President erroneously confounds "social equality" with amalgamation. He says that amalgamation caused him to exist, it has always been 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 difference today the scientists and ethnologists use such things 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 people of the United States with the 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 South is almost wholly illegitimate and 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 of the country where the lack of social equality that the colored people have any rights which the white people respect. The very words, "social equality imply that all rights are secure. In the South there is little difference in the status of the colored man is largely due to his inferior social status, which extends through all human relationships in that benighted section of the country. Even at the age of 18, the black people were segregated and the dispatches say, "In the white section there was a silence which was absolute and stony, only one light fluttered in the air." The Negro should be encouraged to be the best possible. Negro and not the best possible imitation of the white man. "This seemed to please a few of the whites who evicted the black people from slavery days, who hat in hand bowed low when 'oce massa' approached. The South has a queer idea of social equality. In the North "social equality" in its narrow sense, intimate social mingling in private house parties, dances, pink teas, etc. In the North, the social equality it includes civic rights, hence the jim-crow car, the jim-crow school, the jim-crow library, the jim-crow park, the jim-crow telephone booth and on ad nauseam. The Harding was a candidate for President, the APPEAL doubled that he would give colored people a square deal and was not disposed to support him but we were reassured REPRINTED FROM VARIOUS ISSUES by letters signed by Chairman Hays and Secretary Miller and many leading Republicans, as well as the jim-crow campaign bureau that he would be just to his allies. Also Editor William Monroe Trotter said that he had had an interview with the President and he had promised to aid in eliminating segregation. That came a speech to a number of colored delegations from the Harding front porch, which began with, "Fellow Americans" and ended with, "Colored men, America will not fall you." assurances caused THE AP-PEAL to give candidate Harding enthusiastic support. Our support, probably, had little to with the victory, but is mentioned to show that this paper was not prejudiced against him. many colored people vetted. It is not religion of the gentle G. should appeal to the be because it not only tity of mankind, but teachings. Orthodox the U. S. teaches in, disfair and burns colored C. states is aided in hitger" in his place. Klanmen, who berr Catholics, kneel before Cross" and swear to supremacy." NAUSEAT It is nauseating him. Soon after the President assumed his duties it was noticed that he seemed to forget his promises. Segregation in the departments at the university was omitted, three or four jimcrow colored men joined to jimcrow government positions. Colored youth were segregated in the army training camps and colored men were not allowed to enlist in the army. In every way the Harding administration segregated of colored citizens and it is sad to relate that some jimcrow men accept this jimcrow settlement of matters. THE APPEAL does not believe, as Mr. Harding puts it, that there is a "funneling" of unacceptable difference between the two. To do so would be to challenge God and Christianity. It is a distinct departure from the ideals of the founders of the Republic who declared that the created equal and endowed by their Creator allowed 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 seduce the avoid is the development of group organizations in this country." He argues that the thing which he has previously argued for. There are just as many differences between the individuals of any one race as are their between the people of any number of races. The difference in any form in the law in the court of the government, and in public association is contrary to a just concept of a democracy in which all men are presumed to be equal, and is repugnant to the highest ideals of the people, which is declared to have made of one bloody all nations of men. If Mr. Harding is right, God is wrong. If Mr. Harding had had the time to study the question and he had studied it with an open mind he would have found that in France, Spain and Portugal, there have never been any racial hatreds founded on the color of South and Central America; same is true of South and Central America, unharmed by class and color distinctions colored men have risen to the highest places in every branch of human endeavor. There are more full-blooded Negroes in Brazil than white-colored States; and, counting the mixed-blooded Indian and white, and the pure whites, the population totals over 30,000,000 who live together in perfect harmony, without any public differentiation of race. There are no social barriers whatever in Brazil and it is a complete refutation of the idea that there must be social bars between the men and women who are citizens of a country. Color differentiation means the ascendency of one caste and the degradation of the other. Social equality does not necessarily mean amalgamation, but it does mean that individuals to determine. During the coming disarmament parley, the Japanese will be treated with the greatest social consideration. They will be wined and dined and received at every social function, meeting people who in their own way are not Japanese and in spite of all the social mingling it is safe to say that not a single marriage will result. In a democracy like ours, all men, whether they are black or white, red, yellow or brown, should meet in all relationships without racial 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 in the South than in the North. The oppression of the colored people is ten thousandfold greater in the South than in the North. Ninety per cent of the lynching occurs in the South than in the North in 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 weapon diagnosed his gaze as dementia, doctor diagnosed his gaze as dementia, doctor cox and he was committed to the psychoatic hospital for treatment. What would have happened in Georgia? Well this was what did happen the day last summer even when no white woman was in hospital, the man shot a white man and in turn was shot by a white mob. He was taken to a hospital where he died shortly after. About midnight the hospital got to the wounded colored man and lvchm him. Exasperated at finding that he was dead, the mob broke into the dead room, got the corpse, carried it to the outskirts of the city and the remains were then 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, the growing menace of Buddhism, the need to build priests and teachers are 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 saints, also a statement that Buddhism is also gaining among Americans and that many colored people were being converted. It is not strange that the religion of the gentle Gautama Buddha should appeal to the colored people, because it teaches the equality of mankind, but teaches the 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 Buddha place" by the Ku Klux Klanmen, who sew and Catholic, kneel before the "Flaming Cross" and swear to uphold "white supremacy." NAUSEATING. It is nauseating to read the rott given out by R. R. Motton, principal of Tuskegee, as he travels through the South in jimcrow cars, stopping his oppressors to make speeches lauding his oppressors the only one to suffer it would be little, but his words are promptly telegraphed all over the country, and every time he opens his mouth the people of the entire country sink lower, and those who read. Many of his statements wholly without foundation in fact. For instance in a recent lecture before the students of the University of Carolina, the wires say he said: "The South has been further than any similar number colored people anywhere on the globe because it has had the privilege of coming in contact with the white people of the South. Could anything with the South be of truth and a greater amount of security be compressed into one sentence"? The census of Brazil shows that there are about 22,000,000 people with more or less Negro blood in that country, or nearly twice as many as there are in the United States, according to census figures. And the census of state of São Paulo, although they were one of the bravest and were not emancipated until 1888, a century after Lincoln's proclamation, have advanced further than the colored people in this country because they have reached the point where color does not count. They are absolutely free from any civil or racial discrimination. The color line does not exist in Brazil, and the blackest 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 of the people of the South: the contact: Two hundred and fifty of slavery; enactment of the infamous Black Codes to retain slavery, in fact, after its abolition; segregation; denial of living wages; denial of living facilities; disfranchisement; jim Crow laws; even the Tuskegee Institute which finishes Principal Moton his bread and butter is the gift of the North. Northern people have given 95 per cent of their endowment fund, and the greater portion of their expenses is begged in the North. The state of Alabama gives the meagly sum of about $3,000. Here is another gem from Principal Moton: "To the Southern white people of the language and our religion and all that we have in mind and all that we have advanced in civilization." Think of a man who would say such things being the head of an institution which trains the students; it is strange that many of the students come out imbued with distorted ideas of their proper place in the world? Then Principal Moton came out in his persecution in which he said that no Southern colored man wanted him. In that statement he showed his ignorance of English language? He probably must say that the colored people were not seeking matrimonial alliances with white people. Principal Moton may not wish social equality, but he must have valued all of colored people who do desire it. He means, "equality in the collective body composing a community, especially when considered as subjects of government." Here are some of the reasons why he same degrees with another or each other; uniform in condition or action; of just proportion or relation; equitable, just, impartial, exact; of 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, 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 charged with crime in 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 for advancement has been made in either or another, even if conducted on Jimmy line in 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 all of the incarcerated. 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 in 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 Washburn, he was appointed his wife, his wife was ejected from a Pullman sleeper because she was colored. According to the associated Moton trade record, he had fend her, but he did not that he had denied her not to attempt to ride in a Pullman. Just after the armistice in the world war, Principal Moton represented the President Wilson the arch enemy of the colore 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, and the speeches telling the colored soldiers soldiers took 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 decades of years, is a disgusting experience. Imagine if you can, an Irishman apprehensible of the murders by the British soldiery 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 his sissy countrymen from the mouths of these things; if you can get a true picture of what it means for a colored man to laud the South JIM GROW LEADERS We had in a recent issue a symposium of views of colored editors in various parts of the country on the country of Birmingham, Alabama and Harding in Birmingham, Alabama. One of the strongest of these is an editorial from the Richmond (Va.) Planet, by that fearless journalist, John Milchfield, Jr. Referring to the president Harding to have more "ngro" leaders developed, the Planet says: THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS KIND OF LEADERS. DR. BOOK-ALE, WASHINGTON DID THIS PART IN THE FILM THIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN YEARS HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE KIND OF MAN HOOD WITHOUT WITHIN THE CARE 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 the full attainment of citizenship as the 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, W. Grady, of Harring, President of the United States, was 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 in 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 tribe has increased so enormously that 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 angered for life to wash out his unwise behavior too late. Although it may be news to him, 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 hamploned. No humanity could befelt the colored 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 Had he been a brave and fearless man, he would have segregated the colored people at the exercises he would have turned to President Harding and said: "Mr. President of the United States, Mr. Kennedy, ladies and Gentlemen: Before making any address, must make a protest against segregation and humiliation of the colored people at these exercises dedicating a monument to the memory of the Emancipator, and as a representative of the people of the United States, so unless the barriers are torn down and every vestige of discrimination removed my prepared address will remain unspoken and the only words I have just voiced. Let that go into the records as my speech." Such a statement would have created a sensation. It would have brought some fame the audience the infamous state of affair the nation has drifted. It would have made Moton a real leader and his words would have gone thunderning down the ages. Moton had not the courage to say it. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES **NES:** President Harding and the secretary Hughes "have been moved" by complaints from Americans in the near east and have demanded equal opportunities for Americans in Persia and Mesopotamia. It seems that the president can kick at least some of the things he about. And the President would sit in a 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 jim Crowed in every country here in America. The President's speech in Alabama and Georgia wereressexed in a patriotic Americans and double curse because some lickspitter "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. Post to march in a separate division to regular people instead of with the regular division assigned to the American Legion in Memorial Day. The Legionaires insisted that the Scott Post be in line with the other three posts, and intimated that it would withdraw from the parade unless the discriminatory ban would be lifted. It always pays to kick. Inspired by His Scholarly Attainments (Dr. C. F. Maxwell in the Search- light. Seattle, Wash.) The death of John Q. Adams was a great shock to all. Mr. Adams was a pioneer citizen and the oldest publisher. He was the most prominent colored man in the state of Minnesota and respected by persons in town and by the public at time a teacher in the public schools of Louisville, Ky. At a later period the two brothers cast their lots in Chicago and St. Paul. To the writer then a very small boy, these young men were an inspiration on account of their gentle and kind nature, by their hardiness and lastly by their extraordinary handsomeness. Mr. Adams served one or more terms as deputy sheriff at St. Paul in addition to his editorial duties. In every sense of the term, Adams was both a man and a gentleman. "None but the ashes of the just, Smell sweet, and, blossom in the Death Claims Veteran Editor. (From the Indianapolis World.) The sad news comes from St. Paul, Minn., of the death of the renowned veteran editor of the St. Paul APPEA, John Q. Adams, who curried from an accident of an automobile on the evening of Sunday, September 3, by being knocked down by its driver. Mr. Adams was brother of C. F. Adams who was for many years assistant register of the treasury. He was well known families and was one of the known business men in the Northwest. He will be greatly missed by all classes of citizens throughout the country, for he was a real humitarian, and fought for what he conceived to be right and just for the business men in the Northwest. The entire press throughout the country extend to his family and many friends their heartfelt sympathy. Had Transcendent Power as a Leader (From the Richmond (Va.) Planet) When John Quincy Adams, editor of the St. Paul Appeal died, the race suffered the loss of a leader, who was "a true as steel." He had high ideals and he did not fear to express the value of his counsel, with demonstrate the value of his counsel, in questions, he occupied a position that unassailable. For more than ten years, we have watched his utterances and at no time has he faltered in his devotion to duty and his fealty to the race with which he was identified. It is fortunate that he should have passed away at this time. We do not believe that his own people appreciated fully his transcendent power as a leader. We fear that we shall never gaze upon his like again. Editor John Q. Adams (From the Minneapolis Messenger). The death of Editor J. Q. Adams closes the career of an admirable citizen. He was an uncompromising advocate for equality and justice, regardless of his racial identity. His passing has caused the community in which he lived to praise him for his many virtues. He had lived to a ripe old age and fell on the firing line—in active service. The publishers of The Messenger have extended his family and relatives' delicies, wishing the continuance of the Appeal as a fitting memorial and that it will receive loyal support in recognition of his services to his family and the policies of Mr. Adams and the principles to which he dedicated his life's work. Regarded as the Douglass Type The news of the death of John Quincy Adams, editor of THE AP-PEAL, St. Paul, Minn., comes as a shock as well as a surprise to his many friends. According to reports, Mr. Adams came to his death on account of being struck by an automobile as he was returning from church Sunday afternoon. After the accident, he regained consciousness, having suffered a fracture of the skull, broken arm and internal injuries. Mr. Adams was a veteran newspaper man, fearless and courageous, and regarded as the Douglass type. The profession loses a valuable man in his death. Should Commemorate Editor Adams (From the Minneapolis Messenger.) The colored people especially in this section should set aside September for year as a memorial to Editor John Q. Adams in PEAL. It is regrettable that we so soon forget our benefactors and those who have done their part toward our advancement. The colored people of Minnesota should have enough pride and gratitude to re-remember the people so much and no one deserve that more than the late John Q. Adams. One of the Most Forceful Writers The death of Mr. John Q. Adams, editor, publisher of THE APPEAL, removes one of the ablest and most forceful writers of his country. He always stood for justice and right. Asked for no more nor anything less. We fear that we shall not soon find one so able and sacrificing for his race. The publishers tender their heart-felt sympathy to his family in its great loss. A Fearless Champion (H. C. Smith Cleveland Gazette) John Q. Adams was one of our two or three loyal, fearless and real editorial champions. WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNECOTA'S CAPITAL.

Fire Hazards Which Should Be Carefully Watched By Property Owners Where large quantities of soft coal being stored by mercantile establishments and industries because of the fear of a fuel shortage during the winter. The danger of spontaneous combustion in this causes a serious fire hazard, and unusual care should be exercised by the owners of such properties. The hazard can be reduced by proper selection of the grades and sizes of soft coal, and the exercise of proper precautions in its handling and storage. Where large quantities of soft coal are stored in the open it should be in separate piles, so that a fire starting will not spread through the entire supply, and the affected pile can be extinguished or moved. Where the pile is stored in basements the fuel administration suggests the following precautions: 1. Coal the size of a walnut or larger is well adapted for storing. Mine run, slack or screenings, on account of fine coal and dust, are not suited for storage in a basement. 2. Never place coal near a hot pipe, against a hot furnace or any other hot surface. 3. Do not mix ashes with the coal, as there may be live coals in the ashes. 4. If coal must be wet down, wet only the portion that is to be used immediately. 5. It is very important that pieces of waste, oily rags, sticks, paper and other rubbish should not be mixed, or allowed to come in contact with the coal. 6. Special attention should be paid to the proper cleaning of flues and chimneys regularly. EDUCATIONAL VALUES By E. W. Gilles For real educational values we must get down to books, and get down to them good and hard. When we get down to books that have real educational value we get down to something definite and substantial. When we get down to books of real facts we get away from the shallow and superficial and incidental, and get down to something that gets somewhere in real educational values. Books, real books, books of facts are "something to go by" and something to depend upon. For real educational values, get down to real books. ST. PAUL BAPTIST CHURCH Both attendance and services at St. Paul Baptist church were good and greatly loved last Sunday.

Jury Returns Verdict for William Bradley, Taken from Streets and Badly Beaten During Shopmen's Strike. Abilen, Kan., Sept. 17.—William Bradley, colored porter of the Rock Island at Herrington who was taken from the streets of that city by six men, some of whom strikers, last July, carried to the country and beaten, was given a damage of $5,000 against the city of Herrington in district court according to the verdict returned by the jury. He sued the city for $20,000 under the state mob law. This action shows how Kansas does things. If all other states would follow suit and enact laws to make municipalities responsible for crimes, there would be fewer riots and lynchings. Kansas laws make the taxpayers responsible for mobs and lynchings as well as providing that the sheriff loses his job or any peace officer who fails to do his duty. Kansas laws are properly interpreted and she has no petty judges who hold one thing for one class of citizens and another for the other. If he be Colored Southern sentiment cannot win in the courts of Kansas. The sooner the South puts fair officers on the judicial bench who will decide cases on law and merit, and not on color the sooner that section will prosper. "U. S. VIOLENCE GREATEST IN CIVILIZATION," SAYS NOTED LAWYER. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 19.—Speaking before the Rotary Club here Friday afternoon, Attorney William B. Swaney, chairman of the American Bar Association's committee on Law Enforcement, declared, "The criminal situation in the United States so far as violence is concerned is worse than in any other civilized country. "The remedy for this appalling condition is be found in the re-ment to doent living under self-control and respect for the laws of the land." During the course of his sneech he cited acts attributed to the "Ladies of the Invisible Eyes" in Texas and the crimes of mob violence in Birmingham in speaking of violation of law. "Americans hold the life of man too cheaply. Upon the slightest provocation men feel they are impelled to take the law into their own hands. This sort of conduct is contrary to the fundamental principles of government and this wholesale disrespect for law and order presages the downfall of any government." 39 SPEAKERS AT FUNERAL Helena, Arkansas, Mayor' Orders Stores, Retailer, Mayor of Rev. E. G. Morris Helena, Ark., Sept. 21.—The largest and longest funeral ever seen in this city was that of Rev. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist convention.
