NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT.


Bearing a Tuskegee, date line, an
excerpt from the London (Engsand)
Times is going the rounds of the
press, lauding the head of Tuskegee
Institute; and it says among other
things: CDR. Motion is the leader of
Negro thought in the u. S." This
statement needs some qualification.
Motion was put in as head Of the
school because the interests which
support it wished him there as a
mouthpiece through which they could
express THEIR thoughts. Emmett j.
Scott was the logical candidate for
the place, but it is said that at the
meeting at which the election took
place, some one suggested that Scott
would not be so easy to control as
Motion. That decided the matter.
THE APPEAL does not under
estimate the strength of DR.. Motion.
He has powerful interests behind him
ana ne mas lGti 80 4oA1O"AAAS, O"Ao 49,
IS in no sense a great thinker or a
leader in thought. There are thou
sands of colored men who are in
every way superior intellectually and
yet are not hampered by some OF the
traits he has shown. Specifically, in
the matter of his alleged refusal te
protest against the election of hl'
wife from a Pullman sleeper severa
years ago, his alleged speeches to thu
colored soldiers in France, and nj
continual laudation of the South il
his public utterances.
DR.. Motion has recently written
book called, Finding a Way Out,
but as a reviewer said, he seemed t
be "getting in deeper" Althoug
written in grammatical English, ther
are no ''high lights" and certainly n
evidences of great thought or literar
ability.
To the most casual observer, "Ms
jor" Motion is not leader in though
but a follower, who not only think
but says that which pleases tn
South, and as a reward the Sout
gives him not justice for the peop
he is picked to represent, but pc
on the back as "good negro"

WOULD AID coLoRED; BUSTED.

Robert T. Kerlin, professor of Eng
lish at Virginia Military Institute,
chanpioned the cause of the alleged
Elaine rioters and wrote a letter ito
the Governor of Arkansas, in which
he asked him to review the cases Of
the farmers under allegations which
had not been proven.
A few days ago Prof. Kerlin was
handed a resolution passed by the
Board of Visitors of the Virginia
Military Institute asking for his i'm
mediate resignation. When he re-
fused to resign, the Board of Visitors
passed another resolution ousting him
from his professorship. ~.
The board said it had considered
Professor Karlin's general activities
in interracial matters" in concluding
that his retention at the institute
would be terminal to it's welfare"
The board also said that Professor
Karlin's interracial activities chad
rendered his further connection with
the Virginia Military institute unde-
sirable and his retention in the pro-
fessorship harmful and detrimental
thereto and embarrassing to those
responsible for it's conduct and man
agement.' .E... =. H.. /

ugeful American citizens with every
determination to maintain their own,
social life and the purity Of the two
racial stocks !"
. It is true, that some ST tbs jlrn-
crow Headers" Of the South have said
that they do not want anything but
police protection and do not care TO
vote, ETC., ad nauseam, but the color
ed people Of the North will fight to
the last ditch against any scheme Of
the South to impose its plan Of set
Element upon the country.
They know that the South has, in
all its forward movements pro-
ceeded like the crab-backwMd.. They
know that the colored citizens of the
South have been DISTINGUISHED, dis
eliminated against, segregated de-
graded in every way, denied educa-
ton, lynched, burned ut the stake.
There have bsen riots and ly11alhings
in the North, but newer q burning,
and for every lynching IN the North
there have been SO in tRe South.
Nowhere in the South have the
co8ored people amy part "a. the local
government, and, FIRST Of all theywisa1s
the right to, vote and participate ia
the governments under which they
live. The colored people know that
the: soealled Christian church has re-
manned, dumb for so years in, spite, of
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 enjoy
ment Of CIVIL RIGHTS. They, DO
not wish to-. be designated as pariahs.
This hass nothing to, dos with inter
marriage, and it is the, vniest rot to
say that it means intermarriage for
white and eolered peoples to ride in
the same<: car or to gp,to the same
library. In the North, where there
are no jinaerow laws, colored and
white people go together. in public
places without intermanrih8e. Mar
riages between white: and colored
people are So rare that when they
occur, and THAT is seldom' there is a
long story; in the papers about the
event. In. the South, where: there are
laws against mternarriage, practical
ly all of the .UNLAWFJIl. mixing
goes on as it is promotes by the
difference iiR the social Status of the
white and! ceRored people. The surest
way to maintain racial purify would
be to repeal all of the Southern jim
crow laws. So long as the colorec
people are voteless people and on

in the least competent to discuss"
He stigmatized their observations
as "interferences in the task of

This Indictment has aroused n

Mr. Lloyd Georges former col
leagues IN the Free Churches and
resolutions have been passed at

Baptist leader, asserts that the

Men admire a pretty face, good

healthy, contented woman as
beauty fades and the figure will
change. Women who are troubled
with backache, headaches, those
dreadful dragging sensations, and
nervous irritability, cannot hope to
be popular, and advancement in
either home, business or social lii
is impossible. The cause of these
