WERE THE CARDS STACKED?

Twenty-three years ago the United
States occupied the Philippine Islands,
promising independence for the Fill
pinos in about twenty years or as
soon as the natives were "qualifed for
freedom" 49,.
Shortly after coming into power the
present Republican administration
sent a mission consisting of Gen.
Leonard Wood and w. Cameron
Forbes to investigate present condi-
tions and the report just made, which
will not reach Washington for five or
six weeks, recommends that the Unit
ed States must keep the islands.
Two months ago, long before the
investigation had been completed, Gen.
Wood was nominated for governor.
Did Uncle Sam stack the cards on
the liberty-loving Filipinos? -

Comments On Presidents
Speeches
An Appeal to Race Prejudice.
(From the st. Louis Argus. =

49, ~~SSAAA' 49, = No'y
A close study of the Presidents
speech as to it's effect upon the col
ored people of this country, The
Argus sees danger, grave danger in
the Presidents stand on what he
calls "social equality" In the first
place we believe it ill-advised that he
as President of the United States
should have attempted to discuss a
subject which he himself admits does
not exist.
The question of political, economical,
and educational equality is impossi-
BILE SO long as the white people of the
South, yes, of the North or elsewhere
are being warned of the question of
social equality. 1t is an appeal tc
race prejudice and it finds its way into
very economic and civil phase of
Americas life.
We want to be men, free men, en-
loying every right that others enjoy
limited only by our ability. We want
to breathe the sunlight of Gods love
in the "Land Of the free and the
home Of the brave" and be anything
we are big enough to be. -

JIM GROW 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, 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 MANHOOD,
WITHOUT WHICH NO RACE CAN
RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
This is 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-
zenship as that speech Of Booker
Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ca,
in 1895.

No More Blind Allegiance to Repub
.~~ lican Party, ...

(From the Star, Newport News, Va.)
The President may be assured that
he will never live to see the colored
man pay the same blind allegiance to
the Republican party which has
marked his conduct in the past. Like
other groups in this country, the col
ored mans support will go to- the
party which offers the nearest ap-
proach to the giving Of the race the
same rights and privileges extended
to other citizens Of the country.
But for the failure of ex-President
Wilson to keep his prediction prom
ises, Mr.: Rarding would never have
gotten the solid colored vote, which
was cast for him in his election to
the Presidency, and now that Presi-
dent Harding has handed the colored
brother the same sop which marked
their treatment by Mr.. Wilson, he will
be governed by far different condi-
lions in his support of parties in the
future.

A SHAFT OF JEFF DAVIS.

1t 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 a monument 351 feet high to
the memory of Jefferson Davis.
- Davis was in no sense a 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 a million lives and billion
in gold. 49,
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.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1921-11-26

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 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,"

A MISGUIDED MOVEMENT!

THE APPEAL has noticed in sew
eral papers the organization Of the
Federal Employees League composed
OF colored federal employees, which we
believe is great mistake and will
only serve to increase the segregation
now practiced in Washington.
There is already a Federal EN-
ployes' Union in which no color line
is drawn and to which federal en-
ployes of all races, creeds and colors
are admitted, so the formation of a
segregated organization is not only
not necessary but positively danger
Gus.
1t is not surprising that Perry w.
Howard is the president of the or
ganization. The article refers to him
as a Special Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral, which he is not. Mr.. Howard is
Special Assistant TO the Attorney
General which is quite a different
thing. 1t is segregated place.
How: the men who have gone into
this organization can hope to eradi-
cate segregation by segregating them
selves is not clear. The colored fed
eral employees should become men,
bers Of the union which is open to
all and work in harmony with their
brother employees of various races,
creeds and colors.
Men and women, do not segregate
yourselves.
