Randolph's best evening suit sickly

"Say," he asked, "how DO look?"
Mr.. Randolph surveyed him.
"Oh, you'll do, all right You look

bat. Better have few drinks, if you
can find them, and the world will fall
for your clothes. What time do l turn
the wagon in, and what time do / go

said the ex-cabman suspiciously
"Dyou think I'm goin' to throw in a
happy home for two hundred? You're
on the night shift for this week. Read
the rules and regulations when you
get to the garage. Say good-by to the
boys for me an tell the manager to go

They followed this remark out of
the cab; the tough in fop's clothing

Polo Two Thousand Years Old.

"Hockey on horseback" was the
name given to the first polo match
played in Europe. 1t is the only ath-
letic game which the west has Dor
rowed from Asia. Its very name was
unknown to England so years ago
though for over 1000 years it has been
played throughout the East. Firdusi
the Persian poet. who lived a century
before Omar Khayyam, described q
polo match between the Iranians and
Turanians. and its name is nothing

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

With this, the SD issue Of THE
APPEAL for 1921, we close the year
and also the 9th volume of the pa
per.
We started out at the beginning OF
this year, with some hope that the
change from eight years Of Wilson
ism to a Republican administration
would bring with it many desirable
changes for us; but latter about ten
months of the new regime, we fail
to see that we have much, if anything
to point to with pride that has been
brought about by the present admin
istration.
Judging the future by the past, We
have no good reason to feel that con,
ditions for us will soon materially
chage for the better, yet, as we never
known what the future may bring
forth, and as hope springs externally
in the human breast we are inclined
to hope for better things and to wish
for US all
A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

JIM GROW LEADERS,

We present in this issue a sympo-
SUM of views of colored editors in
various parts of the country on the
speeches Of President Harding in Bir-
ningham, Ala, and Atlanta, Ga.
One of the strongest of these is an
editorial from the Richmond (Va.)
Planet, by that fearless journalist,
John Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the
desire Of President Harding to have
more NEGRO" leaders developed, The
Planet says:
THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS
KIND OF LEADERS. DIR. BOOK
Err T. WASHINGTON DID HIS
PART IN DEVELOPING THIS
KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LAT
Err YEARS HE REALIZED THAT
HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE
EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE
PRINCIPLES OF ANHOOD,
WITHOUT WHICH NO RACE CAN
RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
This is a strong statement. yet it is
absolutely true. No single thing in
the history Of the colored people in
the United States has done so much

TRUE TO FORM.

At the Detroit Methodist. conference
Emmett ]. Scott declared "The Negro
does not ask social equality and never
has asked it. All he asks is social
justice" But, pray how can the col
ored man get ''social justice unless he
has every kind Of equality before the
law and in public opinion ?" Domi-
nant people do not give exact justice
to people they consider their interiors
Scott was private secretary tc
Booker Washington for nearly twenty
years and was well trained to reiter.
ate that the colored man does not
want that and other things which
would please the South. Now that he
is away from Tuskegee he ought tt
learn a new tune. 49,

HONOR GIVEN WHEN DUE.

1t is with very much satisfaction
that we learn, Rene Maran, a young
colored author, born on the Island of
Martinique, French West Indies, has
won the annual prize of the Con-
court academy for the best French
novel of 1921. The novel, entitled
"Batouala," deals with colored life in
Central Africa, the race question and
problems and aspirations of the COL
ored people. France has "a very
pleasing way Of giving honor wher-
ever due and talent is duly and fully
recognized even when found under a
colored skin. Vive la France.

cRlNGING AWAKENS CONTEMPT.

We cannot win by blinking at facts
or by ignoring fundamental princi-
pies. Editor j. @. Adams of the ST.
PAUL APPEAL is sound to the core
and we shall all have to accept his
kind of leadership if we expect to at
tain our full stature and status under
the American Constitution. Cringing
may be comfortable for the time be-
ing put it is mighty humiliating for
all the time thereafter and it awakens
contempt for usyas it should do in
the minds and hearts Of our adver-
saries.
Editor Adams points the way,
whether we accept his advice or not
and sooner or later he will blaze the
way to our financial, industrial and
political enfranchisement in this
country where none will dare modest
US or make us afraid. Wise colored
leaders will take notice and govern
themselves accordingly.
The foregoing from The Planet of
Richmond, Va, edited by Hon. John
Mitchell, j., who recently polled
10000 votes as candidate for gov
ernor Of the state, is pleasing to the
editor but we accept it as a tribute
to the cause for which THE APPEAL
has fought for nearly forty years
rather than a personal compliment.

NOT A MAGMA CARTA

We are sorry to notice that some
colored man has written an article in
which he says that President Hard
ing's Birmingham speech is magma
Charta of Negro rights" Evidently
the gentleman, like President Harding
has not thought the question through.
Instead of being a great charter of
liberties, it is really a curse hurled at
the colored people from which it. will
take thousand years to recover.
We have gathered together and re-
print in this issue many columns of
comment on the Presidents Southern
speeches and we recommend that the
people who have been disposed to
swallow the discourses in toto, should
read the articles carefully and learn
of the dangers which Turk in the
Presidents utterances. -

WERE THE CARDS STACKED?

Twenty three years ago the United

Shortly after coming into power the
present Republican administration
sent mission consisting of Gen
Leonard Wood and w. Cameron

been made public, recommends thai
the United States must keep thu

Months ago, long before the investi

Since the Dyer bill was favorably
reported by the Committee on the

sisting man to escape.
3. Two colored men were lynched
for aiding third to escape.
4. One colored woman was thrown
from a bridge and drowned for as
sisting colored man to escape.
Georgia leads in the list Of lynch
ings since the Dyer bill was intro
duced, having had 10. Mississippi is
second with 7, South Carolina third
with 5; Louisiana fourth, with 4, and
Arkansas and Texas each have 8.

to prevent the full attainment of citi-
zenship as that speech of Booker
Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ga,
in 1895.
Since then the descent to hell has
been swift and sure and the depths
were sounded when the other day,
Warren G. Harding, President Of the
United States, stood by the side of
the Grady monument in Atlanta, pro-
nounced a eulogy on Henry w.
Grady, the most. bitter, dangerous and
insidious enemy Of the colored people
that the country has produced, de-
clared that the race question must be
settled by the segregation of Aneri-
can citizens.

ton by the South of the B. Washing

done and longed for life to wash out
his unwise course but it was too late

ESPECIAL EXPERT.

The following from the Richmond
Planet upholds THE APPEALS con-
tentlon 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
pointed Director Of the United States
Veterans Bureau, has seen fit to ap-
point DR.. J. r. "A. Grassland of St..
Joseph, Mo-, Especial Expert" in this
department to look after the inter
ests Of colored ex-service men. This
IS a lifting recognition of one of our
ablest leaders. Nevertheless, it en-
phaslzes 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 Irish-American citizens
will be appointed only with the under
standing that they shall look after
the lrishman's interests. Hebrews
will look after those affairs, which
affect the Jews. Indians will be APP
pointed to look after the interests of
the Indians, the Germans to look after
the Germans. Italians to look after
the interests of the Italians, and so
on.
DR.. Grassland gave an only son to
the cause in Europe and as a result,
ne is confined in his operations to the
race with which his son was identi-
fled. We understand now, that col
lored men will hold offices all right,
but these offices will be confined to
work amongst the colored people ex-
| clusively. This will fan the flames of
race prejudice rather than stamp out
the GROWING infamy of this age.
Financially, we may be benefited, but
as a matter of fundamental princi-
pie, we are needlessly Inundated and
| our progress in the direction of full
American citizenship and it's attend
ant privileges checked for many years
to come. -
