SEPARATE SCHOOLS.
(From the Boston Guardian.)

(From the Boston Guardian.)
Maryland is a Border, rather than
Southern state, at least it is not one
of the worst sort of Southern states.
The practice which forbodes a per-
petuation of color segregation in this
Republic is that of a separation of
white and colored in childhood in &C
tually public institutions, where for
all the foreigners the lesson is taught
of equality among the children. Sep
arates schools are in vogue even in
some Northern states where colored
people prefer jobs to equality and
democracy for the children.
But let no false picture be painted
of advantages. We give the educa-
tional conditions for the colored chill
dren under separation in Maryland,
where even for teachers the new pro-
posal gives LIST grade white teachers
$3.50, and 'colored $500; End grade,
whites $500, and colored $500; 3rd
grade, whites $3.50, and colored 1920
For children it is -.sl '.
1. "Colored children attend school
irregularly." -..-:- ~.~. -
2. "A large number of colored
teachers are just keeping school and
making a poor job of it at that"
8. "In only three counties do we
find as many as seven grades. Usu-
ally as many as four children twelve
and thirteen years old are found in
the first and second grade though
they have been in school for four or
five years" (From the report of the

Carrying the Color Line.
(From the New York 1Age.)

There is a tendency among the mem
bers OF the race to be over sensitive or
the subject of color. This tendency is
OF course excusable to a certain ex
tent, because of the fact that the mat
ter of color is so frequently thrust
upon them. But it would be the part
Of wisdom and good policy to forget
the fact of color when, possible and to
regard themselves merely as Ameri.
cans and good citizens.
= Such an attitude maintained with
modesty and dignity would of time
disarm the outcropping of prejudice
based solely upon color, and would in
sure the individual the same treat
ment accorded people of other races.
CARRYING the color line as a chip on
the shoulder is a sure way Of provok-
ing resentment on the part of the
other fellow, while a calm and un-
concerned demeanor, with proper in
slstence on the same sort of treatment
and accommodations furnished the
public in general is more likely to win
acceptance and secure propergrecogni-
ton
Colored people should endeavor to
forget their color in public places and
regard themselves solely as an in
tegral part of the body polite, with
the same rights and privileges and the
same duties and. responsibilities as
any other class of citizens New York
is a good place to practice such a pol
icy as cosmopolitan city where every
person is so intent on his own pursuits,
that so long as the other man or
woman does not tread on his toes, he
or she can go his own gait unmolested.
The public places and conveyances
are open to all, with the provision that
each PERSONS rights end where his
neighbours begin. So there is no ne
cessity to flaunt the color line in your
neighbor's face, So long as he is in
different to your color and only asks
that you do not infringe onshis rights.

JAPANESE TO DEMAND RACIAL.
EQUALITY,

AdVlceS from washington say that
the Japanese government has broad
ened the issue arising over the pro-
posed exclusion of her nationals from
owning land in California, it was
learned from official sources today:
She will now insist that the United
States formally recognize the equality
of her citizens with those of any other
nation. Such recognition would take
the form Of an official declaration;
similar to the one proposed at the
Versailles conference and Withdrawn
by Japan. !. 49, -
On that occasion two great Japa-
nese demands. were before the confer
ence. Japan insisted first upon a
statement recognizing the equality of
her race; second, that Shantung with
,, its vast resources in minerals, it's
great German developments and it's
100000 of people be given to her.
The council compromised by giving
Shantung. Now she demands that the
United States alone give her the far
more desirable concession which the
council of nations, acting upon a plea
from Australia, expressly denied.
It is recognized both by Japan and
the United States, it was pointed out
IN official circles today, that. nothing
whatsoever can be done to- prevent
the citizens of California from enact
ing the proposed land expulsion act.

American citizens, the action of Japan

CALVIN cooLiDGE's CREED,

Governor Calvin Coolidge, of Massa
chusetts, when notified of his nomina
ton for Vice President on the Repub
Ecan. ticket, outlined his creed. The
i'aro graph relative to colored citizens
is especially fine, and evidently sin;
cere; it is as follows: ~
There is especially due to the col
ored race a more general recognition
of their constitutional rights. Tempted
with disloyalty, they remained loyal,
serving in the military forces with dis
tinction, obedient to the draft to the
extent of hundreds Of thousands, in
vesting 81 Out of every S. they pos
sessed in Liberty bonds; surely, they
hold the double title Of citizenship, by
birth and by conquest, to be relieved
from all imposition, to be defended
from lynching, and to be freely granted
equal opportunities"
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1920-10-02

THE APPEAL heartily endorses
every word of the following editorial
from our enterprising and uncompro-
missing contemporary, The Chicago
Whip. What pity that there are so
few whips" among the papers edited
by colored men:
The strongest races of men, and the
most indomitable characters of history
have always either uncompromisingl
demanded every scintilla of their just
rights, or, being denied the full meas
ure of attainment of their ideals have
spurned even life ITSELF
Patrick Henry in crying out for
'either liberty or DEATH" voiced the
sentiment of the Pilgrim Fathers, who
preferred the unknown horrors of the
great uncharted Western ocean and
the savage-ridden land beyond to re-
ligious oppression in comfortable
home. 49,

apparently satisfied with the HALF
LOAF. For $50 years he was so told

mind could not grasp their signifi-
canoe. He took what was given him
with a thankful heart, thanks to the
teachings of the old school.
He has not yet demanded unequiv-
cally all that is due him! He fears
to refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf
and demand the WHOLE, trembling
lest he be denied any at all. With
apologize mien and Sinking smile,
he renders gratitude for Jim Crow
Settlement Houses, Jim Grow Soldiers
and Sailors Clubs, Jim Crow Y. NJ
c. AS, Jim Grow Officers Training
Camps, Jim Grow churches, frater
mites and politics.
He thus plays the begger's role in
spite of the fact that he has proven
himself to be an indissoluble and
indivisible entity of the whole warp
and wool of America, economic, politi-
cal, military and social. He is the
economic backbone of the South. He
holds the balance of political power
as he is beginning to learn. He has
always been the fangs of the American
army. His blood, suspected and un-
suspected, flows in more veins than
any other one strain in America.
He is still slave if he accepts any
thing short of the full unstinted meas
ure of recognition and respect. The
New Colored American will never
again be satisfied with EQUAL
RIGHTS when they are not the SAME
RIGHTS. The NEW Colored Ameri-
can, repudiating the teachings of the
old school, who led him into the quag-
mire of peonage and serfdom MUST

coWARDLY BISHOP RERukED.

We reprint from the Cleveland Ga
zette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith,
stalwart and outspoken champion
OF the colored people, the following
rebuke to cowardly colored bishops:
BISHOP PHILLIPS WRONG
While there is much in Bishop c.
H. Phillips pacifist interview of last
Sunday, in. the Cleveland News-Lea-
der, to interest the average reader,
there is one statement to which about
all of the intelligent members of our
race will take issue and that is his
statement that "the Afro-American
does not desire social, political or in
dustrial equality" That is not true,
bishop! In this section of the coun-
try we want and, in limited degree,
enjoy all three. In the South, our
| people are asking the last two. $50

exist among any class (race) of
Americans. It is matter for the
individual to settle and he alone set.

and colored individuals (families) in

ago settled it to their entire satisfac
ton and are enjoying the so-called
social equality" and will continue to
do SO until "the end of the chapter
