The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1921-10-01
WOMEN AS PREACHERS,

The women are demanding their
right to become preachers Of the Cos
pei on equal terms with the men. At
g recent meeting Of women pastors a
speaker declared that the majority of
the church members at present are
women drawn by the eloquence and
magnetism of the male preachers and
if women, were installed as pastors
would fall over each other in the eff
forts to get into the fold.
The Reverend Clarence Edward
Mccartney of Philadelphia, dissents
from this view and says that the or
dination of women as ministers of the
gospel would be prejudicial to the
best interests of the church and
''would increase the occasions for
fractional scandal and satanic church
quarreling."
No doubt the men would be at
tracted to the church services if the
shepherdess was young and charm
ing, had trim figure, wore a peek
a-boo waist, with skirt falling to
her knees, the portion of her anatomy
from that point to the French-heeled
oxfords encased in invisible silk
stockings. It would not matter what
she said, the attendance of the men
including all Of the bald-headed STA
theirs in Israeli would swamp the
meeting house and they would all
be in the front pews if possible.

NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT.

Bearing a Tuskegee date line, an
excerpt from the London (Engiand)
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 a
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 Dr. Motion.
He has powerful interests behind him
and he has a large following, but he
is in no sense great thinker or a
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 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 Way Out, y
but as reviewer said, he seemed to
be "getting in deeper" Although
written in grammatical English, there
are no thigh lights" and certainly no
evidences of great thought or literary
ability. :.
To the most casual observer, "Ma-
jor" Motion is not a leader in thought,
but a follower, who not only thinks,
but says that which pleases the
South, and as reward the South
gives him not justice for the people
he is picked to- represent, but pat
on the back as a "good negro"

graded in every way, denied educa-
ton, lynched, burned at the stake.
There have been riots and lynchings
in the North, but never burning,
and for every lynching in the North
there have been SO in the South.
Nowhere in the South have The
colored people any part in the local
government, and first of all they wish
the right to vote and participate in
the governments under which they
live. The colored people know that
the so-called Christian church has re-
manned dumb for SO years in spite of
growing anarchy, and now when it
speaks it comes with a jimcrow plan.
And as usual the South talks Of
social equality" The real intelligent
colored people all over the country
do not wish to be segregated from
other American citizens in the eniov-
ment of CIVIL RIGHTS. They do
not wish to be designated as pariahs.
This has nothing to do with inter
marriage, and it is the veriest rot to
say that it means intermarriage for
white and colored people to ride in
the same car or to go to the same
library In the North, where there
are no jimcrow laws, colored and
white people go together in public
places without intermarriage. Mar
riages between white and colored
people are so rare that when thew
occur, and that is seldom, there is a
long story in the papers. about the
event. In the South, where there are
laws against intenmarriage, practical
ly all of the UNLAWFUL mixing
goes on as it is promoted by the
difference in the social status of the
white and colored people. The surest
way to maintain racial purity would
be to repeal all of the Southern i'm
crow laws. So long as : the cohored
people are a voteless people and on
lower social and civil plane, the il
legal racial mixing will continue.
That is history. ~
In his enuemration of what the
colored people desire, Rev. Alexander
omitted two of the most important
things-the right to vote and the
abolition of public segregation. There
is absolutely no hope of settlement
OF the race question on just Amer
lean lines if the South is to have the
leadership, especially if that leader
ship is to eb vested in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, which has
ever been the foe of the colored peo-
pie from the time of the split over
slavery in the forties up to the pres
ent time when the church refuses to
merge with the Methodist Episcopal
Church, North, because the latter
church elected colored bishops.

ATLANTA THE LIMIT.

Atlanta, Ga, seems to have been
and is yet, the breeding place of near
ly all the four things which feed on
race prejudice and religious intoler-
ance. ff
A catalogue of these un-American
things would take too much space, so
it will suffice to mention the latest
evolved from the XIX. K. controlled
city. At the meeting Of the city
council Monday, by vote of ID to
g committee was appointed to pre-
pare an ordinance prohibiting inter
racial worship Of God. Under this
proposed law white and colored peo-
pie could not attend the same churches.
A white person could not preach in a
colored church. A white person
could not preach in scolored church.
"a white person could not teach in
colored Sunday school and even in
the presence Of death white priest
could not. administer extreme JUNCTION
to colored human being.
Atlanta wins in racial and religious
hatred.

HONOR WHOM HoNoRIS DUE

On Thursday evening, Charles Gil
pin, the distinguished colored actor,
playing in "The Emperor JONES'" was
complimented by newspaper men with
a reception at the Press Club Of Chi
cago after the theaters closed.
Every other current production was
represented in the gathering. Among
the actor guests were Frank Bacon Of
"Lightnin'," Grant Mitchell, "The
Champion" and Francis Wilson and
the girls in "Ermine.".
1t is very gratifying to note the
general recognition Of the extraor-
binary talent of Gilpin.

Jazz music is in it's death throes

The oriental dances have been almost
discarded and the native girls are

the occident by the soldiers of the
allied forces. All kinds Of jazz are
in favor and jazz records are being
sold in large quantities.

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 Irishman's interests. Hebrews
will look after those affairs, which
affect the Jews. Indians will be ap-
pointed 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 so
on.
DR.. Grassland gave an only son to
the cause in Europe and as result,
he 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 Scolored people ex-,
clusively. This will fan the flames of
race prejudice rather than stamp out
the crowning 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
ant privileges checked for many years
to come. -

(APPEAL Editorial Sept. 8, 1921
The APPEAL is sorry to note that
the color line has been drawn in the
new Veterans Bureau by the organ
lzatlon Of "Colored Division" and
the appointment of DR.. j. R. A. Cross
land as it's head.
Grassland lost son who fell 'fght-
ing for democracy in France, and it
is a poor reward for the father to
be given segregated bureau. It is
also said that he was an effective
speaker in the last campaign, in
which it was given out that the Re-
publican party would abolish segre-
cation in the departments at Wash
ington. If these things are true
Grassland deserves better treatment
at the hands of the victors, and he
also should have refused the appoint
ment as undemocratic and demanded
the same treatment as is given to
One Lasker, a Jew, was made head
OF the u S. Shipping Board. Repre-
>sentatives of other racial groups have
been given places, but not in segre-
gated bureaus. No President of the
United States would dare offer a Jew
place as the head Of a segregated
Jewish bureau There is no such
place and never will be. Onlv color
ed people are segregated by this al
legged democracy. ~
s Some people may think that the
special appointments which have
been handed out by the present Re-
publican administration are forward
movements, but they are really nails
IN the coffin Of democracy and are
dangerous to the social and political
status of the colored people.
The Administration ought to cut
out these Special jobs, eliminate
segregation which was promised in
the campaign, and if colored men are
to have appointments let them be
on a level with those given to other
groups of American citizens. H..
Better no places at all than those
which lower the status of the race
and automatically make their holders
defenders of segregation. -

Most Of the time you can follow the

you the general lay out, and full in

you ask information you can check up

must be careful to note the intelli.

The white population showed onlv
10 per cent expansion and the negro
90 per cent. Both the Indian ana
Chinese groups dwindled S5 per cent
and 1873 per cent, respectively. The
growth In the white population was
considerably less than the rate for the
previous decade, which was 22.3 per
cent. This decline, the statement said.
was due principally to the reduction
in immigration during the war.
The greatest numerical Increase i'm
the white population was shown I'm
the district embracing Ohio, Indiana.
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.
where the increase was Boil, 1853.
The rate Of increase In the negro
population was the lowest on record.
Evidence of the migration of the ne
gro to the north and west was found
in the figures showing nearly three
fOurths OF the increase in the negro
population, or 472,418 Of the 625 25O
gain in these sections. A growth NJ
only 1882, or about one-fourth. was
reported for the South, despite the
fact that 85 per cent Of the total negro
race still is there.
