An Apologist.
(From the Washington Bee J

(From the Washington Bee.)
The Bee, at the time Major Motion
was named by a committee of apollo
glsts, said then that he was a Hand
Picked Leader"
The condition of the colored race
IN this country is due to these "hand-
picked leaders" Now, in the first
place, Major Motion represents a class
or white men and not the Colored
Americans.
He is not only a "hand-picked
leader but an apologist who fails to
resent an insult. Would any Ameri-
can white man of any nationality at
tempt to make excuses for an insult
TO his wife by common carrier.
Has this not been the policy of all
hand picked leaders? This hand
picked representative apologies for
the insult offered his wife while en-
route to her home Will Major Mo-
ton, the newly installed principal of
luskegee, enter suit for damages {?
NO. ne would offer an apology to those
who had insulted his good wife. The
Bee has always been an admirer of
Major Motion, and thought that he
possessed manly traits, that would
commend him to the thoughtful con.
slderation Of the American black
race, but The Bee must confess that
he is a hand-picked leader and an
apologist.

I'VE ARE ALL ALIKE"

In the midst of the base, unjust, un
American talk about race segregation
which Southern whites have started
in Chicago, the statement of a mem.
Der of an oppressed race, sounds like
voice of fairness in the wilderness
of race prejudice. T.. So i
-. A great hullabaloo was raised over
the sale by Rabbi Hirsch Of his for
mer residence at 1912 Grand Boule-
ward, to a. colored man. 1T was con-
sidered matter Of sufficient impor-
lance to warrant the sending of a re-
porter of the Chicago. Tribune to in
terview the seller. 81,
Rabbi Emil G.. Hirsch, the famous
Jewish leader, was asked by the re-
porter:
what are your views on r.ce seq
regation?"
Rabbi Hirsch replied:
Prom my point of VIEW we are all
alike. Colored people are just as good
as whites. I would -:ather have good
black neighbor tha1 poor white one"

Declaring that he would not be
swayed by outside influences in regard
to the death sentences passed on the
eleven colored men found, by preju-
diced jury, guilty of participation in
the recent Philips county race

cided to ignore the kilograms from

tional Equal Rights League, and Maj
J. E. Spingarn, of the N. A. A. C. p,
requesting executive clemency in the
case. He had the power to save these

was being black but chose to take

lowing them to be electyocuted with

MEET HIM WITH A SMILE.

When a feller's feelin' blue,
And his looks appeal to you;
Then it's clear what you should do
Just meet him with smile.
When feller's almost in,
And is getting short of tin;
Then help him the world to win,
And meet him with a smile.
When a feller's fghtin' sin,
And the vic'tries hard to win;
Then help him to just dig in,
And meet him with smile.
When a fellers down and out,
And the devils hard to rout;
Then help him to turn about,
And meet him with smile.
When Teller needs a friend,
That his ways he may amend;
IT'S for you hand to lend,
And meet him with a smile.
When a feller's feelin' blue,
And he don't know what to do;
Then it's clearly up to you,
To meet him with a smile.
When fellers maxim hay,
And it is a rainy day;
And he can't look blithe and gay,
Just meet him with a SMILE

REBs TO HONOR K. K. K.

. Headed by the Robert E. Lee camp,
whose membership includes Gen. K.
M. Vanzandt, commander in chief of
the United Confederate Veterans, a
movement has been launched by local
veterans in Austin, Texas, for the
erection of monument to- the Ku
Klux Khan, which 1ourished in the
south in reconstruction days, for the
purpose of intimidating and murder
ing colored people to prevent them
from voting or exercising any rights
of citizenship. 1t will be recalled that
Texas is the state in which Secretary
Shillady of the N. A. A. C. P. was
brutally assaulted about two months
ago because he was endeavoring to
aid the colored people.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church OF England
Congress at Southampton. Sir Sidney
Olivier. who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end Of 1912, put for.
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by a resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race ditferentiou
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island Of Jamaica, where he was eov.
ernor for i've years. there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is a British colony and the govern
nent is just. Colored men enjoy ev.
cry civil and political right which
white men have and there 10 no color
line.
Among other things Sir Sidney said:
my study and comparison of con.
ditions in the United States and the
West Indies" he said. has brought
mo to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men
are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor.
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the meth.
DDS of missionaries. nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
1t cannot be ignored t=at it happened
that the faiths of the mea Who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment Of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human.
ltarian and, above all. uncompromis.
ingly Christian.

DECLINED BECAUSE UNAMERI.
CAM

Inc department. OF Publicity of the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Company Of Lester, Pennsyl-
vania, gave a segregated picnic for
its colored employees. A long account
of the event was sent to THE AP-
PEAL but we declined to publish be.
cause we felt that the segregation
was un-American. We reprint here
with the body of the letter sent to the
Westinghouse Company, which gives
the opinion of THE APPEAL as to
the Importance of cultivating the feel
ing of 'Americanism among all Amer
lean citizens:
"Your matter is respectfully declin-
ed because THE APPEAL, which is
AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER does
not care to give publicity to a story
which on its face appears to be un-
American. We so regard it as it is
the exploitation Of the fact that a
segregated picnic was given for the
"colored" employees. That is drawing
the color line.
So far as we know the Westing-
house Company has not given a sep
arate picnic for each of the following
groups: German, Irish, French, Brit
ish, Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, Aus
trian, Lettish, Finnish, Bulgarian, Ser
bian and the one hundred and one
other nationalities which are employ
ed and there is no reason why picnic
should be given exclusively for "color-
ed" employees. ~:
Possibly some of the colored en-
ployees desire such a picnic, but that
is because many have come from the
South and know nothing but segrega-
ton. Instead Of encouraging such a
desire, it should be the aim Of an
AMERICAN corporation to encourage
the mingling of all of it's employees
of the various racial groups in order
that they may learn more of each
other. Ninety per cent Of radical pre-
juice IS uu6 " tu0 ldCL tQdL one
group has no real knowledge of the
other groups.
The meeting of the various racial
groups at a public picnic does not
carry with it the obligation to con-
tinue and enlarge relationships. Each
person must determine for himself to
what extent he wishes to go in his
social dealings with his fellows.
I do not doubt the rectitude Of your
intentions, but after my exposition of
the case, you may be able to see that
there lis an un-American trend which
you yourself had not previously real
lied. zen.
I trust that next year you will have
an ALL AMERICAN PICNIC, to which
ALL of your employees will be in
vited, in order that racial hatreds
may be curbed and every man, no mat
ter what his nationality may regard
his fellow workman as an AMERI-
sCAN-nothing more-nothing less"

THE BOYS CLUB FEDERATION
ITO West Fortieth Street, New York
Civ

|
The Boys Club Federation of New
York is planning for a wide extension
of its work during the coming year
IN the interest of the 100000 under
! privileged boys of America, whose
| need, following the war, is said to be
| a vital one. Immediate attention is
believed to be necessary if these lads
| are to be reclaimed and moulded into
men Of character and useful citizens.
The Federation is a national organi-
cation with a large membership, 3D.
Grating without profit to itself, sup.
ported by voluntary contribution, it's
purpose being to- give practical direc-
tlonal training to the boy of limited
opportunities, to build him up physi-
cally and to carry him over the danger
period OF his youth. AS a result of
such training, it has been shown by
statistics, juvenile delinquency has
been materially reduced, a real in
terest aroused in the wholesome things
OF life, and that the boys of this class
under the influence of the club, are
soon weaned from the street and pre-
pared for future citizenship.
The Boys Club Federation ordi-
narily is housed in a building with
gymnasium, library, game rooms and
meeting rooms for which the boys pay
nominal dues of S or 10 cents month.
The Federation club is non-sectarian
and -co-operates with all church de-
nominations and welfare organiza-
tions, being the only body of it's kind
that takes the boy under ~ years-a
critical age for the lad of unlimited
pportunities-as we'll as of all other
ages, and moulds him with reference
to his special needs. His spiritual
needs are cared for by the co-operat-
ing churches, and many boys without
religious home influences or training
are thus brought into the fold-boys
that, in the majority of cases, could
be reached through no other existing
channel. One of these federated clubs
alone, located in New York City, has
an active membership of 5000 boys,
most of whom otherwise would have
hearkened to the call of the street
with all it's evil influences and conse-
| quences.
1t is estimated that $3.50 Of the boys
of America belong to this class, vast
army for good or evil, and to bring
these 100000 and more under-priv.
ileged boys into club formation on a
community basis-as broad and COM
prehensive as the public playground,
| though more intensive-is the task
that the Boys, Federation has set for
itself.

INDIANS. AGAINST SEGREGATION

Three hundred members Of the
American Society of Indians, inaan.
nual convention at Minneapolis, voted
for the abolition of the U. s. govern.
ment Indian Bureau.
The reasons given by speakers are
that Indians should be regarded the
same as other American citizens and
do not need supervision.
A remarkable thing in connection
with this announcement is the fact
that the editor of THE APPEAL, in
a wire to the President just before he
left for the Peace Conference at Paris
in December, 1918, suggested the
same idea in reference to the Amari-
can Indian.

 With springtime usually comes a "clean up campaign, and movement in that direction Is general in cities and towns throughout the United States.

If things are not thrown into the streets, particularly bits of waste paper. they will not have to be picked up Reeeptacles for refuse, if placed in back yards, and used will help much in maintaining condition of neatness.
