The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1921-08-27

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 it's plan of set
Element upon the country.
They know that the South has, in
all it's forward" movements pro-
ceeded like the crab-backward. They
know that the colored citizens of the
South have been disfranchised, dis
eliminated against, segregated, de-
graded in every way, denied educa-
ton, lynched, burned at the stake.
There have been riots and lynchings
in the North, but never a burning,
and for every lynching in the North
there have been so 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
the so-called 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 has, nothing to do with inter-
marriage, and it is the veriest rot to
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. Mar
rlages between white and colored
people are so rare that when thew
occur, and that is seldom, there is
long story in the papers about the
| event. In the South, where there are
laws against intenmarriage, practical
ly 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
be to repeal all of the Southern Jim
crow laws. So long as the colored
people are voteless people and on
lower social and civil plane, the IL
legal racial mixing will continue.
That is history.
In his enuemration of what the
colored people desire, Rev. Alexander
omitted two of the most important
things 1.-The right to vote and the
abolition of public segregation. There
is absolutely no hope Of settlement
! OF the race question on just Amer
Jean lines if the South is to have the
leadership, especially if that leader.
ship is to eb vested in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, which has
ever been the foe of the colored peo-
pie from the time of the split over
slavery in the forties up to the pres
ent time when the church refuses to
merge with the Methodist Episcopal
Church, North, because the latter
church elected colored bishops.

DEFECT IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM

We are prone to brag about our educational
advancements. and the Improvement IN our
schools. but we sometimes think schools have
gone ahead too fast in At least some respects.
There are too many textbooks and too many dis
tracing activities in our schools today. Children
in schools generation ago did not use as many
textbooks as the children They were
not taught $ many things but what they did
learn they learned thoroughly. The result was
that when they grew up they were well grounded
in the things they had been studying. Children
in school today learn little about great many
things but they do not learn great deal about
anything. Much of their so-called learning is
superficial and when they get to be men and
women they will be inefficient in whatever they
try to do. This is bound to be tie result This
defect in our present-day school system which
has been growing for several years, has now
reached the point where a halt is demanded.
Fortunately. the situation is being recognized by
many school authorities. and look for change
in the right direction before very long

SOUTH TEXANS KNOCK THE PLAINS
COUNTRY

Two travelling men from San Antonio reached
Hereford Thursday by automobile They express
ed themselves being utterly astonished at the
magnificent weather the Plains hey had
laid in a supply of heavy garments blankets, foot
warmers chest protectors etc. expecting to tackle
regular Attic Circle weather
They said that prior to their departure
from San Antonio they had called on the local
Chamber of Commerce to get some information
about this country They were told. they said,
that they were couple of fools to venture into
this country in a car at this time of the year; that
the country would probably be bound and
that using an automobile would be joke
The fellow that handed out this line of dope
ought to be given pick and shovel and put to
work where his capabilities justify. 1t is such
rotten stupid, plain ignorance as this that hurts
this country more than anything else
San Antonio has splendid weather itself, but
It never saw the day in its history that it pro-
duced brand of weather like the one enjoyed in
Hereford today October ~ The nights are
clear. cool and snappy the days absolutely ideal
California never beat any such weather as the
Plains country produces from April to November.
And the winter months badly misstated as to
severity
Wbv. we have not even had killing frost as
yet while Hereford men returning from the Dallas
State Fair state that frost has killed everything in
that section a week ago.
The Brand does not believe there is any
malace in these mis-statements. It's just pure.
down right ignorance and lack OF nformauon' Ana
about the only way TO overcome it, SO TAR as we
can see is to maintain a steady, concise preerv-
ing advertising campaign to the world telling OF the
most magnificent weather conditions produced
anywhere from San Antonio. Texas to Los An
,geles California-Hereford Brand
There may not be any malace in the misrep-
reservations Of the Plains Country, but it is a
peculiar thing that they all ignorant in the
same direction. AS for believe the people
of the South and Eastern part of the State just
simply want to knock this great country. Some
of them not ignorant, but on the other hand
they know that this is the best section of the coun-
try and they would prejudice people against the
country if they can in effort to turn their atten
ton some where else or have them direct their at
tention to that part of the country. However.
their knocks are really boosts, for in these days of
automobiles and fast transportation. 1t does not
take long for a fellow to for himself, and they
come and find the country different to what
has been pictured to them. that they at once be-
come sold to this section and become boosters for
the great South Plains section.

THE CIRCULATING DOLLAR

Now is a good time to pay off some debts
and clean the slate. if possible, and then profit
by recent sad experiences by using economy
and sanity in expenditures. The endless chain of
debt must be broken before business can become
as good as it ought to be- If you bedt. pay
it, or all of it you can. The money will get into
circulation and find its way to the who owes
YOU and then come back home again. When you
pay the who you indebted to he passes
the money on to the man he owes and so on down
the line. A single dollar will pay hundreds of
dollars worth of debts. if it is kept in circulation.

A lot of good road work might be done by
the gamblers and bootleggers when they are

We presume there is law for such act, bot it
might be good thought for some Legislators who
should pass some gambling laws with teeth in them
against gambling in every form. This should APP
ply to the cotton gambler, the card gambler and
every other form of gambling.
