The following from the Richmond

tention and says truly that the policy
will serve to "fan the flames of race
prejudice:"
Hon. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle,
Washington, who was recently APP

point DR.. j. R. A. Grassland of St..
Joseph, Mo-, Especial Expert" in this

is a fitting recognition Of one Of our
ablest leaders. Nevertheless, it en-
phasizes the drawing of the color line
against which the far-seeing leaders
Of the colored people in this country
have protested without seeming effect.
Under this ruling, it may soon be
expected that American citizens

A SHAFT OF JEFF DAVIS.

It will be recalled that Louisville,
Kentucky never yielded allegiance to
the illegal Confederate government
and yet the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy have selected that city as the
site for monument 351 feet high to
the memory Of Jefferson Davis.
Davis was in no sense great
statesman, simply clever politician,
but as an ardent advocate of the Con-
federacy whose capstone was slavery,
he typifes a doctrine which cost our
country million lives and a billion
in gold:
The monument will serve no useful
purpose as the cause it glorifes is
dead. The Daughters of the Confed-
eracy ought to devote the money they
will spend on the Davis shaft to aid
ing the veterans who fought to pre-
serve our liberties rather than waste
it on a memorial to the man whose
life was given to the destruction OF
his native land. 49,.

TROUBLE WITH THE SOUTH.

In an article in the Smart Set Mr..
H. L. Mencken, Southern man, says,
that the South is still suffering from
the debacle Of fifty-six years ago. He
says:
"That debacle almost obliterated
civilization in the whole region, and
so the surviving Confederates took to
sentimentalizing the civilization that
had collapsed and departed. That
Standardization, in the end, became
sort of sacred duty, benevolent
mania, a furious and unintelligible
cult, and the Southerner himself a
walking sarcophagus Of dead ideas.
3. The result was that human
thought in the whole region was re-
duced to a mere poll -parroting Of for
mulae. The sSoutherner became the

THE WINGED BEDBUG.

The writer recalls bit of doggerel
of years long gone:
The common fly has wings of blue,
The FREELY wings of flame; &"
The bedbug has no wings at all,
But he gets there just the same.
Times have changed since that was
written. With the coming Of the new
era of airships, seventy-fve mile
guns, poison gas and other atrocities,
it is now said that the winged bed
bug has arrived at Constantinople
and is driving hotelkeepers, their
guests, and housewives to the utter
despair born of sleepless nights.
It has, so the dispatches say, in
vaded the palace of the sultan and
added to his many worries. 1t is
smaller than the pre-war type and
those who have examined it assert
that it has wings and flies like mos
quito.
It's activities defy mosquito netting.
1t appears to be able to bite through
sucn netting. It does not always Sc
crete itself in the bedding, but may
stow itself in the ceilings and from
there drop upon it's victims. It does
not come singly, but in married
couples with large families, attack
ing from all directions.
The old style bug was bad enough
but bedbugs with wings! Angels and
minister of grace defend us!

growing anarchy, and now when it |
peaks it comes with jimcrow plan.
And as usual the South talks Of !
social equality" The real intelligent |
s:olored people all over Sthe 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
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 intermarriage, 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 a voteless people and on a
lower social ands civil plane, the il
legal racial mixing will continue.
That is history. "a.

WOMEN AS PREACHERS.

The women are demanding their
right to become preachers of the Cos
pei on equal terms with the men. At
2 recent meeting of women pastors a
speaker declared that the majority Of
the church members at present are
women drawn by the eloquence and
magnetism of the male preachers and
if women were installed as pastors
would fall over each other in the ef-
forts to get into the fold.
The Reverend Clarence Edward
Mccartney of Philadelphia, dissents
from this view and says that the or
dination Of women as ministers of the
gospel would be prejudicial to the
best interests of the church and
'would increase the occasions for
fractional scandal and satanic church
,quarreling."
No doubt the men would be at
tracted to the church services if the
shepherdess was young and charm
ing, had trim figure, wore a peek
a-boo waist, with a skirt falling to
her knees, the portion of her anatomy
from that point to the French-heeled
oxfords encased in "invisible" silk
stockings. It would not matter what
she said, the attendance Of the men
including all of the bald-headed GA
theirs in Israel" would swamp the
meeting house-and they would all
be in the front pews-if possible.

NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT.

Bearing a Tuskegee date line, an
excerpt from the London (England)
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
and he has large following, but he
is in no sense great thinker or a
leader in thought. There are thou.
sands Of colored men who are ir
every way superior intellectually and
yet are not hampered by some of the
traits he has shown. Specifically, if
the matter of his alleged refusal te
protest against the election of his
wife from a Pullman sleeper severa
years ago, his alleged speeches to the
colored soldiers in France, and hi:
continual laudation of the South il
his public utterances.
DR.. Motion has recently written {
book called, Grinding a Way Out,
but as reviewer said, he seemed t.
be &getting in deeper Although
written in grammatical English, there
are no ''high lights" and certainly n.
evidences of great thought or literar!
ability. =. ~.
To the most casual observer, "Ma
jor" Motion is not leader in thought
but a follower, who not only thinks
but says that which pleases tn
South, and as a reward the Soutl
gives him not justice for the peopl
he is picked to represent, but a pa

SOUTHERN "FoRwARDv BUNK.

Recently there was laymen's con-
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, held at Lake Juna-
laska, N. c., and one Rev. w. w.
Alexander Of Atlanta, Ca, took the
stage and said:
s'The next big forward step in the
inter-racial readjustment is to come
from the South, and the reason for it
is perfectly apparent. The South can
afford to do it. Then too the South
has the social prestige to do this.
The social question figures largely in
the race question. So the South can,
when it will take the leadership in
inter-racial cooperation. I believe
that the South will assume the leader
ship with the same sort of pride and
determination as it led the nation.
1t has been the universal opinion Of
those who have come in close touch
with the question that Negro leaders
do not desire or seek social equality.
They have asked for police protec.
ton, better housing and living con-
ditions and a chance to develop into
useful American citizens with every
determination to maintain their own
social life and the purity of the two
racial stocks"
It is true that some of the jim
crow leaders" 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-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 burning,
and for every lynching in the North
there have been so in the South.
