DEATH OF ABDUL BAHIA.

A cable from Haifa Syria, an
bounced the death in that city of
Abdul BAHIA Abbas, one of the great
est men of the day and the leader Of
the Bahaist movement.
Abdul Baha,. "servant of God,"
Travelled through the United States in
1912 and visited St. Paul among other
places. He was the guest Of the large
congregation of Bahaists in Chicago
the latter part of April and early in
May in 1912 and on May 1, he dedi-
Gated the site at the Sheridan road
bridge in Wilmette, a suburb Of Chi
cago, where the Bahaists are now
building a temple costing several mil
lions of dollars, to be the world cen
ter of Bahaism. -..%
Abdul BAHIA was born in Teheran,
Persia. He was the successor Of the
Bah, gateway Of knowledge" who
began about 1914 proclaiming
throughout Islam the coming of a
messenger of God and made much
Roadway until executed at the age of
81. The noble father of Abdul BAHIA
was Mira Hossein Ali of Nour, a
disciple of the Bah. s>'"s
Father and son were banished in
1868 to Aka, a prison city in Syria.
Forty years later the Young Turks
overthrow the despotic regime in Con-
stantinople, and Abdul BAHIA was
freed. ~. Z ~
The death of Abdul BAHIA will be
mourned by millions of his core
ligionists all over the world and it is
now claimed that there is at least
50,O00,O00 Of them, who practice, as
well as preach that "of one blood God
made all nations" IT,
There are many thousands Of col
ored people in the United States who
have left orthodox Christianity and
have become Bahaists because, of by
procrisy Of the so-called Christians on
the color question.

jim CROW LEADERS.

We present in this issue sympo-
SUM of views of colored editors in
various parts of the country on the
speeches Of President Harding in Biz
mingham, Ala, and Atlanta, Ca.
One Of the strongest Of these is an
editorial from the Richmond way
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 HOOD,
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
to prevent the full attainment of citi-
zsnship as that speech of Booker
Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ca,
in 1895. = r. s.
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 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 Ameri-
can citizens. .-.
Lured on by the, enthusiastic recep-
ton by the South of the B. Washing
ton speech and the white mans
good negro" pat on the shoulder, the
jimcrow leaders, tribe has increased
so enormously that it is now a men
ace to be reckoned with in every COM
munity in which there are a hundred
colored men.
Before he died Booker Washington
repented in bitterness what he had
done and longed for life to wash out
his unwise course but it was too late.
Although it may be news to many, it
is fact that after his death an ar
ticle, written by him, was printed in
a leading magazine, in which he re-
pudiated segregation which he had so
long championed.
No greater calamity could befall
the colored people than the harvest
ing Of new crop of "jimcrow negro
leaders,"
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1921-12-17
TRUE TO FORM.

At the Detroit Methodist conference
Emmett J. 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?" Don1i-
nant people do not give exact justice
to people they consider their interiors.
Scott was private secretary to
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 to
learn a new tune. ~ !: -..s. ]
BUNK!
Under the heading "Gamaliel Emu
lates Chilean" the Republican Pub
Lefty Association is sending out to
Republican newspapers lot of dope
comparing President Harding to Jesus
Christ, but the resemblances are not
many. Christ did not teach that there
were Fundamental, eternal and un-
escapable differences" between hu-
man beings. Rich and poor, bond and
free, black and white all looked alike
to the Galilean.

CONGRESS DEBATES ANTI -
LYNCH BILL,

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, 70
Fifth Ave., New York, has made pub
lie a statement to the effect that since
the introduction of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill in Congress on April
u, 1921, there had been 38 persons
murdered by mobs in the United
States, of whom two were burned,
four bodies being publicly burned
after lynching. One of those lynched
was a colored woman. Three were
white men. -
Since the Dyer bill was favorably
reported by the Committee on the
Judiciary, on October 81, 1921, there
have been seven lynchings, one body
being publicly burned, in Helena, Ark.
Among the causes assigned for
these lynchings are the following:
l. A colored man called to inquire
of white girl why she had not re-
piled to a note he had written her.
He was lynched for this .offense.
2. An old man was accused of as
sisting a man to escape.
g.. 3. Two colored men were lynched
for aiding a 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 Z, South Carolina third,
with s.; Louisiana fourth, with 4, and

Instead Of being a great charter Of

HONOR GIVEN WHEN DUE.

It is with very much satisfaction
that we learn, Rene Maran, 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. :.

Thedford's Black-D raught Highly
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer for Troubles Re-
sulting from Torpid
Liver.

East Nashville, Tenn The effic-
iency Of Thedford's Black Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr.. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer Of this city. ut Is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
don't believe I could get along without
II. l take it for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result Of
a torpid liver.
81 have known and used it for years,
and can and do highly recommend 1t
to every one. I won't go to bed with
out it in the house. 1t will do all 1t
claims to do. I can't say enough for
it."
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black
Draught just as Mr. Parsons describes
valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford's Black-Draught liver medi-
cine is the original and only genuine.
Accept no limitations or substitutes.
Always ask for Thedford's. z 81

1t was the old Beth. he could see
1t now, even If there was something
different about the clothes and the
way her hair was done, and such small
matters. But it only made Hugh's

New Talking Glove.

An ingenious glove by means Of
which the blind may converse has
been invented by a physician Of An
sonia, Connecticut, who Is himself
rapidly becoming blind and deaf. 1t
is a thin glove, with all the letters
Of the alphabet upon it, distributed
over digits palm and back. DR.. Ter
ry himself has learned the precise sit
uation Of each letter, 81 that when a
friend spells out a word by touching
the several spots, he can follow by
the feeling. The beauty of DR.. Terry's
invention is that 1t enables him to
receive communications from persons
who are unacquainted with his sys-
tenn. Any deaf-blind person could
have such a glove made, and, Of
course, it does not matter how the let
tiers are arranged upon it, for he
alone needs to know without looking
where they are situated.
