FRIENDS,

The writer recently overheard a
black man, just from the South, say:
Il think the Southern whites are the
best friends Of my people," He was
dirty, ignorant and degraded and ut
terly unable to appreciate the differ
ence between the North and the
South, but there are men, living in
the South who make some pretences
to education who have said the same.
Of course they were looking for the
good niger pat.''
There are few white people, verv
few, living in the South, who are
Christians and who are willing to &C.
cord to, colored people all the rights
of citizenship, but the great majority
are not friends in any sense of the
word, unless jimcrow laws and Gus
toms are evidences of friendship. And
again some of the most pronounced
enemies of the cobored people are
black and yellow men who are con-
tinually saying things which make
the whites hold the whole colored
group in contempt, because no man
can really respect another man who
believes himself to be inferior and
makes public announcement of this
belief.
Some colored people denounce all
white people. That lis unjust and
wrong. Garrison, Lovejoy, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Phillips and thousands
of others were who practically gave
their lives to prove their friendship.
And today John Haynes Holmes and
thousands Of others are better friends
to the colored group, than some who,
black in heart as we'll as in face,
"cringe and bend the supple hinges of
the knee that thrift may follow
fawning." Z

not believe such work is feasible OF

And again, the colored people Of
the United States are Americans and

and God knows there is work enough
here to employ all the brains and
money the race can command for a
thousand years to come.
We have nothing to offer South

-kUNTZ GETS A PLACE,

Emil Kuntz, Republican national
committeeman for Louisiana, has
been nominated by President Harding
to be collector Of Customs for Dis
trict No. 20, with headquarters at
New Orleans. Mr.. Kuntz, although
a white man, was one of the "Black
and Tans," and with his colored aids
fought the 'Lily Whites" to a finish.
Mr.. Kuntz is a square man who
would undoubtedly like to give some
good places to his colored friends,
but it is difficult to see how he can
do so as all of the places in his office,
except his own, are under civil serv-
ice. THE APPEAL met Mr.. Kuntz
some years ago and has always ad-
mired him because he has fought the
Lilly Whites" who were trying to
deprive colored Louisianians of DO
litical representation. We wish him
success. .~=

AFTER FORTY YEARS.

AFTER FORTY YEARS.
For forty years the editor of THE
APPEAL has battled with pen and
tongue against the rising tide Of race
prejudice, discrimination, injustice and
mob-murder.
He has seen state governments and
national administrations quail and
tremble before the onrushing waves
of hellish hate.
The so-called Christian church has
stood still and dumb before the bru-
talities of a Goddess land.
Many contemporaries have given up
the fight for justice and equality, but
many yet live who will never yield to
the oppressor, and so long as there
are even dozen determined souls
who have sworn to do or die, the
fight will not be in vain.
The way is dark and the work is
made difficult by the foe within, but
victory will come. It can not be
that the present infamous conditions
win continue forever. Our children
and our children's children will reap
the benefits of our labors of today.
We are still unafraid. We will con-
tinue the fight.

THE FOURTH IN "JAW JAW"

Possibly the people of Georgia
imagine that they are real patriots.
Anyway they had great Fourth of
July celebration at Union City in that
state. Again perhaps they think that
they are Christians, as they opened
the proceedings by singing, "All Hail
the Power of Jesus Name" And
then the "jaw-jaw" began with talk
by Senator Tom Watson, who sarcas-
tically criticized the federal reserve
board, William Ct. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury, liberty
bonds, President Harding, former
President Wilson, Then came this
gem: IF your Uncle Sam has $5,0O0,-
600 to give Liberia, then he's got it
to give Georgia negroes, and if they
got it, we'd get the most of it," And
so on.
Then Governor Hardwich appeared
upon the scene. He declared that the
signing of the Declaration of indie
pendence meant more than the crea-
ton of a new nation. s'It meant the
creation of a. new political dispersal
tion-one Of equality and freedom Of
man." s'The right of free speech,
the freedom of the press and equality
are fundamental rights"
i'll 4o1
American until the last lap of the
speech, when he said: "God AL
mighty made this a white mans
country and by His splendor and
grace we will keep it So" Of course
the historic fact that God made this
the Indians country and Europeans
stole it from the Indian and also
turned it away from God, did not
worry Mr.. Hardwick, he had to put
the NEGRO" in somewhere. ID

full half hour between Director

Southern women were students and
Secretary Trotter, who insisted race

that the girls have their rooms and

Finally Trotter prevailed, Miss
Roberts was escorted to a single suite
in Standish Hall by Secretary Trotter

I think that you must have been

Departments attitude on this ques-
ton for years is the first criticism of
this policy which we have received.
On the other hand this Office has re-
ceived numerous letters from colored

that the War Department has found
it necessary Tin view of limited ap-
preparations and the difficulty of
training units scattered over wide

organization of colored troops in the
National Guard to those units that
operate directly under orders of the
Corps or Army Commanders and
which do not enter into the compost

(Signed) JOHN w. WEEKS,
Secretary of War.
This is the reply of THE APPEAL
st. Paul, Mimi, June %, 1921.
to Secretary Weeks:
Hon. John w. Weeks,
Secretary of War,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
have received your letter without
date written in reply to my letter of
May ID, asking information relative
to the formation of separate color
ed division of the National Guard.
While I am pleased to learn that no
such organization has been ordered
for peace time, I regret to hear that
it is the policy of the War Depart
ment to organize separate divisions at
any time, either in peace or war.
The matter of organizing co]ored
soldiers into separate units is funda-
mentally wrong, and I believe uncon-
stitutional. It is a wrong which has
continued since the organization of
colored troops, but the continuation
of a wrong does not make it. right.
1t is a wrong which the World War,
fought as it was claimed ito make
the world safe for democracy" should
have righted. 1t is wrong because it
is undemocratic.
1t is wrong because it takes the
cofored soldiers out Of their proper
places in the states in which they
live and makes them a segregated
part of the Federalized National
Guard. 1t denies them their rights
as citizens of their respective states
and forces them into special segre-
gated status which is not applied to
other groups of Americans, such as
Germans, Irish, Russians, French,
Poles, Spanish, Portuguese, Danes,
Swedes, British, Austrians, Hungari-
ans, Serbians, Bulgarians, Belgians,
ETC.; and it is not applied to Indians,
Jews, Japanese, Chinese, Koreans,
Javanese, East Indians, Burmese, and
other colored. races.
If the colored man is a citizen, he
is entitled to ALL the rights of citi-
zenship and this includes the right
to be on an absolute equality with
all other citizens. It is unjust for
the government to single him out
from the various elements which
compose American citizenship and
place upon him the badge of a pariah
caste.
I am sorry to learn that I am the
first to protest against this wrong,
but trust that from now on protests
may come in by the thousands, to the
end that you may be induced to
change this policy of your predeces-
sors.

Dear Sir:

National Guard service. In reply 1
may say that although the separate
organization Of a colored division has
not been ordered by the War De-

Guard service, it is strictly in ac-
cordance with the policy of this De-
partment that colored units shall be
organized into complete and separate
divisions whenever the necessity arises
for the formation of such units in
time Of war. This policy is based
upon the experience gained by the
War Department throughout our
country's military history. It was
carried out during the World War in
