THE "MENACE" OF BUDDHISM

A woman who has been a Christian
missionary in Japan for 10 years cali
ed the attention to the Disciples of
Christ, at recent general confer
ence, to the growing menace of
Buddhism. She said that Buddhist
priests and teachers arecoming in in
creasing numbers and are urging the
Japanese in the u. S. to have nothing
to do with the Christian religion on
the ground that it's followers call
them inferior and Cypress them. She
also stated that Buddhism is also
gaining among Americans and that
many colored people were being con-
verified. 1t is not strange that the
religion of the gentle Gautama Buddha
should appeal to the colored people,
because it not only teaches the equal
ity of amnkind, but practices it's
teachings. Orthodox Christianity in
the U. S. teaches inequality of race
and Expresses, DISTINGUISHES, lynches
and burns colored Christians at the
stake. It is aided in keeping the
'nigger' in his place" by the Ku Klux
klansmen, who, barring the Jews and
Catholics, kneel before the ssFlaming
Cross and swear to uphold "white
supremacy" .:-. =.

A QUESTION OF STATUS,

The Monitor of Omaha, prints un-
der the above heading, an editorial
which is so logical and conclusive
that we publish it in full: 90
"Well meaning people cannot un-
derstand why the American of color
objects to being set apart by him.
self. They seem to think that he is
not satisfied with his own people
and is therefore trying to force him
self into places and among people
who do not want him. This is to
miss the whole point. It is simply a
question of status. He objects to be-
ing singled out and set apart and
denied privileges inherent in Amer
lean citizenship because he knows
that such procedure gives him a sta
tus of inferiority, which no self
respecting American citizen can ac-
cept. He is either an American citi-
zen or he is not. The Constitution of
the United States considers him an
American citizen, American practice
in the denial of CIVIL rights denies
him this status. Which is right, the
Constitution which guarantees full
rights of citizenship, or custom which
denies them?"

BANKER BINGA PEAcE:HERo.

81 8 q Z. Il #-.r-
There are heroes of peace as well
as war, and jesse Binga, the banker
Of Chicago, deserves high honor
rating. About two years ago Mr..
Binga bought a beautiful home cost
ing $4,000 on South Park Boulevard,
which he furnished artisticalhy and
kept in the finest possible condition.
Some of the whites living in the
neighborhood resented this "invasion''
as they called it, and no fewer than
seven attempts have been made to
destroy it by bombing. The seventh
attempt about a week ago resulted
in the destruction of the front porch
and the SCATTERING of windows in the
neighborhood. The only person in
jured was a white woman across the
street who was thrown down by the
explosion. 5''s<. Ill.,.
1t shows great courage on the part
of Mr.: Binga and his family to stay
in the house, as it is almost like liv-
ing right on the firing line the great
err part of the time. Mr.. Binga is
wholly within his rights in living in
his own home and will not give up
no matter what may come. He de-
serves "Croix de Guerre."

proper leader for any kind of a re-
form movement as there are too
many skeletons in her closet.

ment, segregation and discrimination

SOUTHERN FORWARD" BUNK.

Recently there was laymen's con-
ference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, held at Lake Juna-
laska, N. c., and one Rev. w. W..
Alexander of Atlanta, Ca, took the
stage and said: ~'
'The next big forward step in the
inter-racial readjustment is to come
from the South, and the reason for it
is perfectly apparent. The South can
afford to do it. Then too the South
has the social prestige to do this.
The social question figures largely in
the race question. So the South can,
when it will take the leadership in
inter-racial cooperation. I believe
that the South will assume the leader
ship with the same sort Of pride and
determination as it led the nation
1t has been the universal opinion of
those who have come in close touch
with the question that Negro leaders
do not desire or seek social equality.
They have asked for police protec-
ton, better housing and living con-
ditions and a chance to develop into
useful American citizens with every
determination to maintain their own
social life and the purity of the two
racial stocks"
1t is true that some of the jim
crow Headers of the South have said
that they do not want anything bit
police protection and do not care to
vote, etc., ad nauseam, but the color
ed people Of the North will fight to
the last ditch against any scheme Of
the South to impose it's plan of set
tlement upon the country.
They know that the South has. in
all it's forward movements pro-
ceeded like the backward. They
know that the colored citizens of the
South have been disfranchised. dis
eliminated against, segregated, de-
graded in every way, denied educa-
ton, lynched, burned at the stake
There have been riots and lynchings
in the North, but never a burning,
and for every lynching in the North
there have been 50 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. Z, 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 enioy-
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

ESPECIAL EXPERT"

THE APPEAL is sorry to note that
the color line has been drawn in the
new Veterans Bureau by the organ
ization of a "Colored Division" and
the appointment of DIR. 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 a segregated bureau 1t 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
other groups of American citizens.
One Lasker, 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 Jew
a place as the head of a segregated
Jewish bureau There is no such
place and never will be. Only color
ed people are segregated by this al
legged democracy.
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 level with those given to other
groups of American citizens.
Better no places at all than those
which lower the status Of the race
and automatically make their holders
defenders of segregation.

NOT A LEADER IN THOUGHT.

Bearing Tuskegee date line, an
excerpt from the London (Engaand)
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 ].
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 large following, but he
is in no sense 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.
DR.. Motion has recently written a
book called, Finding Way OUT
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.

jor' Motion is not a leader in thought,

but says that which pleases the
