Cannot Have Political Equality i
81 Social Interiors; -..-

(F'rom the Chicago Enterprise.)
In the first place the President says
that the colored man should not as
plre. for social equality. In answer
to that statement we wish to say that
II the colored man does not aspire
Tor social equality he must accept and
be satisfied with social inequality.
Social inequality would mean that the
colored man is either on social plane
above the white man or on a blame
beneath him. If the former were
true, the white man would aspire to
be on the same plane with the colored
man, so it follows that when Hard
ing says that the colored man should
not aspire for social equality, he
means that the colored man occupies
and should continue to occupy an in
Terror social position. We wish fur

dent says that the colored man should

Mr.. Harding Down South.
To the Editor:

y Clle EQ1COf:
The colored man, according to Mr.
Harding in his Birmingham speech.
SHOULD seek to be the best possible
black man, and not the best possible
imitation of the white man." This is
the Harding standard for the race.
We admit that in many respects the
white man is a poor model for imi-
tatio1ni, as in lynching, discriminatory
practlces-against his friends and his
arrogant assertion of superiority by
birth and color, but why does not Mr..
Harding advise us to become the best
possible men, and forget distinctions
on both sides apart from merit? Of
course, we know how hard it is to he
logical and at the same time avoid
offending the South while a recipient
of it's hospitality, but it does seem
amusing, as well as pathetic, that IN
the same speech he says: ssThe one
thing We must sedulously avoid is The

izations in this country" Gee. but Il

President Harding Runs True to Form.
(FrOm the PHILADELPHIA American

(from the Philadelphia American.)
President Harding, in his address at
the semi-centennial in Birmingham.
Ala, on Wednesday last, nobly sus-
famed MS unenviable reputation as a
discreet follower Of sectional senti-
ment. When he addressed an audi
ence in Ohio some time ago, he in
sisted that the colored citizen should
be given the equal protection of the
law IN the exercise Of his rights as
such. In Alabama, he claimed that
there could and should be no such
thing as social equality between the
races. Not one word is he reported
as utterlng In favor Of equal protec-
ton Of the law, the enforcement Of
the Federal Constitution, nor against
iynchlng or the roasting of human be-
lngs at the stake. He did not even
ask the moral support of his audi
tors Tor the passage of the anti
lynchlng bill now before Congress.
About all of these important things,
ne was absolutely silent-and WIN?
The President knew that such matters
as enforcing the law against murder.
MOB violence, peonage and the right
OF suffrage were unpopular subjects
to discuss in the South; hence, he
Journeyed all the way to Birmingham.
Ala, to tell the folks down there that
social equality between the races were
impossible. Good news and GLAD It'd
lngs, we fancy, peace on earth and
good will to all white men in the
South. The Presidents mental ba-
rometer is unerring in pussyfooting
on the race question. We do not
agree with the President that our
ideal should be the best possible black
man, nor the best possible white man.
nor an imitation of such; but rather
the best possible man stripped of both
qualifications. If the President had
discussed the race question from the
standpoint Of equality before the law,
the equal protection of the law, equal
civil and political rights, and one
standard of citizenship to be support
ed and maintained by the law
throughout the nation, he would have
delivered message to the people of
the country and those of Alabama in
particular, that would have been well
worth the effort.

The President Has Spoken,
(From the Denver Star)


The first utterance by the Presi-
Dent on the status of the Negro in
America comes at a time when 81
lence is no longer endured and upon a
subject wholly uncalled for. 'Twere
better that he remained in Washing
ton and kept silent than to advocate
any form of un-Americanism. The
colored man has suffered enough from
the so-called friends of the Republi-
can Party (?). Whey does the Presi-
dent OF the United States advocate
social equality as a cause to the black
man, when millions of the white
mans amalgamated sons and daugh-
tiers make up one-eighth the popula-
ton OF this country? If the coIored
woman was good enough to give birth
to their children she ought to be good
enough to marry them.
Why did the Supreme Court uphold
5lmcrow laws of the South? Was
that social equality? Why do depart-
ments at Washington discriminate
and segregate the colored employees?
Is that social equality? WHY dodge
the ;lIssue?, Why do the lily-white Re-
publlcans bar colored men and women
from voting? Is that social equality?
Why doesn't President HARDING en-
ploy colored men to positions thew
have held since 1866 - Is that social
equality? '
thousands of our sons lay asleep
upon the torn bosom of France who
died Tor this country of justice that
you portray as. a barrier to the So
clal life Of our race.
We will stand ready to defend our
race IN the sunshine of whose society
we are ever happy. We want equal
lty that is given every other citizen
under the Constitution. We will ac-
cept nothing less. -.

historians write: "Failed."

"Most Dangerous Doctrines Ever
Uttered"
(Dr w a Sinclair in .Guardi

3 CDR. w. A. Sinclair in Guardian:)
The speech delivered by President
Harding in Birmingham, Ala, is
fraught with the most dangerous, per-
lIicious, destructive and hell-born doc
trines that have ever been uttered in
fifty years of our development not
only by a President Of the United
States but by any responsible cabi-
net minister.
The colored race cannot afford to
ignore these utterances; unquestion-
ably great harm has already been
done and incalculable injury to our
race will certainly follow.
It's shameful exploitation. Pity!
The White House has lowered It's
prestige and dignity.

No Sharp Line Between Politics and
a H. Social Life. .

(From the New Republic, New. York
The South knows, as President
Harding ought to know, that you
can't draw a sharp line between pol
ltics and social life. The offices of "a
state are in most parts of America
positions of social leadership. With
complete political equality the state
Of Mississippi might easily elect a
Negro as governor. Would such a
result be accepted by Mississippeans
as devoid of social significance? The
race. problem unfortunately is not one
that admits of easy general solutions.

KLOOR TELLS OF

Further Light on Hinton Farrell Row Is
Shed.
(Rx Associated Pressl


ROCKAWAY, N. Y, Feb. 16.-Furth-
err light on the quarrel between Lieu
tenants Stephen A. Farrell and Walter
Hinton, when they reached Mattice,
Ont. after their adventurous balloon
flight into Canada was sought from
Lieut.. Louis A. Kloor, their companion
by the board of investigation.
Asked to state what he knew about
the alteration between the two officers
with it, Lieut.. Kloor replied:
and what steps he took in connection
mo official report was made to me.
I know nothing of it except that which
was told to me by newspaper reporters"
After counsel for Lieut.. Farrell had
objected to the way questions were
asked by the judge advocate, and legal
technicalities had been Strengthened out.
Lieut.. Kloor testified Hinton told him
that he and Farrell had an alteration.
The only steps he then took, Floor said,
were to get the two officers together and
restore friendship. He said he did not
consider the reported trouble between
them serious.
FarrelPs counsel again objected on
the ground that Kloor could not testify
as to what Hinton told him, as Farrell
had not been present when the con-
versation took place. The objection was
overruled and the hearing was adjourned
until tomorrow.

ORLEANS COTTON
SOMEWHAT EASY
Tendency to Sag Is Caused by Con-

by Associated Pressl


NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 16.-Except
for a period of advancing prices in
the early trading cotton today had an
easy undertone and a tendency to sag
mainly as the result of conflicting
spot accounts from the interior and
reports that several small mills in the
Atlantics had been forced to close on
account of lack of orders. The sag
ging tendency continued to the close
which was at the lowest of the day
at net declines of 20 to 81 points.
March traded down to 1348 and July
down to 400.
The steadiness around the opening
was derived from the favorable Liver
pool and the continued strength of
foreign exchange but after advances
of II TO Is points had been scored
and March had been sent to 1890. the
market lost its buying power and
commenced to fall off.
Spot advices from several import

other reports We're that only a small
business was being done and that SELL

in order to stimulate business. Spots
here were quoted steady and I'M

GONZALEZ WINS
DOUBLE HEADER
Muscogee Loses Both Games e
Aggios.

The Gonzalez high school seniors
defeated the Muscogee high school
seniors at Muscogee yesterday after
noon, to the tune of 25 to 0. Although
the Muscogee thin clads put up a
good fight, they were out classed.
The Gonzalez boys started scoring at
tho first and the Muscogee lads could
not stop them. The game was almost
entirely free from roughness.
The Gonzalez high school juniors
beat the Muscogese juniors 16 to 8.
This was a very fast game, as the
teams were more evenly matched. At
the end of the first half, the score
stood TO 2 in favor of Gonzalez, but
in the second half the more expert
enced boys piled up the score on the
Muscogee team. Muscogee has had a
team for only four weeks and the
men are greatly handicapped by in
experience, but with a little more
training they will undoubtedly be able
to hold their place on the map.

MARKET
SHOWS DECLINE
Trading Is Steady But the Close Il
Lower.

NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-An early adj
vance was followed by reactions in the
cotton market today with May con-
tracts selling off from s14.59 to s1A.10
and closing at s14.12. The general mar
ket closed steady at net decline of %
to 80 points.
The opening was steady at an advance
of II points to a decline of IT points
with near months relatively firm on
higher Liverpool cables and reiterated
reports of an improved tone in Man
chester. Early offerings were readily alb
sorbed by continuation OF the covering
movement which started on Monday and
active months sold about eight to 20
points above last nights closing figures
before the end OF the first hour. This car
ried March contracts up to $14.10 and
July to $14.92, making Il recovery of
about y to ~ points from recent low
levels.
A disposition to take profits on recent
purchases, for a reaction then developed.
while the demand from shorts became
less active and prices turned easier dur
ing the afternoon. Reports that the bet-
ter grades were offered at a slightly
easier basis in some eastern belt sections
may have promoted some of the selling,
but spot advices from the southwest
were bullish and the decline to $500
for March and S14.45 for July was most
generally attributed to an easier techni-
cal position. Last prices were at ap-
proximately the lowest point Of the day.
One of the private cables received from
Liverpool this morning said there was
more buying there for speculative than
trade account and that part of the in
creased spot business was for export A
report that an organization of Texas
growers formed to market low grade
cotton in central Europe had disbanded
last week may have been a factor on
the afternoon decline but was not
prominently mentioned in that respect.
