The Appeal., 1908-11-28

That profound philosopher, eminent
statesman and erudite editor, Hon.
Josephus Daniels of North Carolina,
has his own idea-perhaps several
of them-in respect to the non-elec-
ton of Mr.. Bryan And what is more
to his credit. he has the courage of
his convictions and lets fly in the fol-
lowing impressive and Oppressive Ian
guage:
'The defeat of the Nebraskan does
not injure that foremost private citi-
zen of the world. It merely shows
that, having abdicated to Roosevelt
and Rockefeller, the people who cast
their votes against him are not wor-
thy to have Bryan at the head of the
Republic"
The language is Oppressive, because
it entirely upsets our conceptions as
to the worthiness of the American
people. Heretofore we have regarded
the American people as the salt of
the earth; now it is demonstrated
that they are the ,offscourings of
Hades. And some of them live in
North Carolina-more's the pity. Tt
is to be hoped that hereafter Mr..
Daniels will trek to some more wor.
thy country; say Montenegro or
Senegambia.

the truth. of how far we are behind
and with what remains to be done,
let me make a comparison: Two
years ago each child in the state of
Massachusetts, had spent upon him as
per school population, in the free pub.
lie schools $26.42, while taking the
South as a whole for the same year
each AfrO-American child had spent
upon him as per school population
from SO cents to $3.50 in the different
Southern States. At such rate, does
any one believe that we can educate
our children? Ignorance will grow
denser, and crime, lawlessness and in
efficiency will increase. Something
must be done and that speedily.
What is the remedy? Let parents
and leaders get into close and SYM
pathetic touch with the local and
county and state officials and make
known the condition and the needs
of the children. If one effort does
not succeed, make another and an
other. You, yourselves, must make
your wants known, no one can or will
do it for you. We must in firm, con-
servatlve and yet polite manner in
sist upon our proper share of the pub
lie school funds.
Parents must bear in mind that if
they get all the public school fund
that is justly due their children, this
alone will not provide for the educa-
tion Of their children Even the white
children in the South are not receiv-
ing enough money to properly educate
them from the public fund. In some
way each community must organize
effort to tax itself and keep taxing
itself until each community has a
good schoOlhouse and a school term
lasting from six to eight months in
each year, taught by qualified teach

ing and that they may raise money
this fall while our people have it.
Now is the time to act. Do not delay
another day. This is the season Of
the year when our people are hand
ling considerable cash as a result of
the sale of their crops. This is also
the season Of the year when they are
tempted to throw away thousands Of
dollars i'm unwise directions. I urge
you to use some of the money this
fall that you would throw away IN
providing for the proper education of
your children. We must, as a race,
learn to make sacrifices. 1t is better
that we go without proper clothing,
that we go hungry, live on bread
and water even if necessary, rather
than neglect the education of our
children. Let each person, teacher or
minister, who reads these words, be-
gin at once and stir the people to
action in his immediate county.

THE APPEAL has for a long time
advanced as it's most effective argu-
ment against the barbarous custom
of lynching the contention that, in
process of time, the lynchers would
themselves be the victims of lawless
violence and that thereby public SEN
tlment would be turned against it.
The time has arrived in one section
at least; that is in the state of Ten
nessee. In a late issue of the Mem
phis Commercial we find the follow
ing:
mo plea of justification, no story
of past transactions, no story of any
alleged wrongs suffered by fishermen
and no story of alleged suppression

1t remains to be seen whether or
not the Tennessee Journal will have
the courage and good sense to de-
mand the hanging of the murderers

not, it will be an admission that mur-

STILL HARPING ON MY DAUGH

An Alabama judge recently made
an address to local club in Chicago,
the object of which was to present
an argument in favor of the repeal of
the 18th amendment. Like all the
arguments of the Southern brother
in connection with that subject, the
effort was notable for it's complete
and complacent ignoring of the most
obvious facts and attempted conceal
ment of real conditions. For in
stance, one of the astounding asser-
tions was the following:
"Unsolved, the race problem re-
mains an unfortunate political condi-
ton; it means that the South shall
be recorded as a part of the union,
but shut off from any real participa-
ton in the administration of it's af-
fairs; it means the Southern white
man will continue to be a political
slave, just as much as the Negro was
chattel slave before his emancipa-
ton.
Now, the real fact is that the South
or what the judge meant by that
term, has privileges, immunities and
perquisites enjoyed by no other Sec
tion, as short enumeration will
show Millions of dollars of Northern
money have been spent to promote
education in the South; but when did
the South ever spend one penny to
promote education in the North? The
South has at least 40 representatives
in congress more than it would have

Regarding Impressions of Salt Lake

In a recent issue of the Daily Mail

who makes Salt Lake his headquarters
for territory covering Nevada, Mon

| his opinions of the west The letter
was published in the Brisbane paper to

among the friends of the writer.
The letter describes the sights of
