ESPECIAL EXPERT"

The following from the Richmond
Planet upholds THE APPEALS con-
tention and says truly that the policy
will serve to 'fan the flames of race
preiudice:"' .. 49,
Hon. Charles R. Forbes of Seattle.
Washington, who was recentlv an
pointed Director of the United StaIas
Veterans Bureau, has seen fit to an
noint DR.. J. r.. A.. Grassland of St.
Josenh, Mo-, "snecial Expert" in this
department to@look after the inter-
ests of colored ex-service men. This
IS 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 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 ap-
nointed 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 50
on.
DR.. Grassland gave an only son to
the cause in Europe and as result,
ne IS confined in his operations to the
race with which his son was identi-
fed. 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 VI, infamy of this age.
Financially, we may be benefited, but
as matter of fundamental princi-
pie, we are needlessly Inundated and
our progress in the direction of full
American citizenship and it's attend

That debacle almost obliterated
civilization in the whole region, and
so the surviving Confed erates took to
sentiment lizing the civilization that
had collapsed and departed. That
sentiment alization, in the end, became
sort Of sacred duty, a benevolent
mania, furious and unintelligible
cult, and the. Southerner himself a
walking sarcophagus of dead ideas.
!. The result was that human
thought in the whole region was re-
duced to mere poll-parroting Of for
mulae. The Southerner became the
most indiotic patriot ever heard of in
terrestrial history. Everything South

from the swinishs politics of the Job

Confederate veteran vote to the bar

NOT A LEADER in THOUGHT.

Bearing Tuskegee date line, an
excerpt from the London (Emgland)
Times is going the rounds of the
press, lauding the head of Tuskegee
Institute; and it says among other
things: "Dr. 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
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 DIR. Motion.
He has powerful interests behind him
and he has large following, but he
is in no sense a great thinker or
leader in thought. There are thou
sands Of colored men who are. in
every way superior intellectually and
yet are not hampered by some of the
traits he has shown. Specifically, in
the matter of his alleged refusal to
protest against the election of his
wife from a Pullman sleeper several
years ago, his alleged speeches to the
colored soldiers in France, and his
continual laudation of the South in
his public utterances. -
DIR. Motion has recently written a
book called, Finding a Way Out"
but as a reviewer said, he seemed to
be getting in deeper" Although
written in grammatical English, there
are no .'high lights" and certainly no
evidences of great thought or literary
ability.
To the most casual observer, sMa-
jor, Motion is not a leader in thought,
but follower, who not only thinks,
but says that which pleases the
South, and as a reward the South
gives him not justice for the people
he is picked to represent, but pat
on the back as ''good negro"

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 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 typifies a doctrine which cost our
country a million lives and 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 memorial to the man whose
life was given to the destruction of
his native land.
