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 app oinotments let them be
on a level with these 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.
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
prejudice" a.
Hon. Charles R. Forbes Of Seattle,
Washington, who was recently APP
pointed Director Of the United States
Veterans Bureau, has seen fit to ap-
point DR.. J. R. A. Grassland Of St.
Joseph, Mo-, Especial Expert" in this
department to look after the inter
ests of colored ex-service men. This
is fitting recognition Of one Of ou1
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
respected 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-
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 Sc
on.
DR.. Grassland gave an only son to
the cause in Europe and as a result

race with which his son was identi.

lis 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
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 a Jew
a place as the head of a segregated
Jewish bureau. There is no such
place and never will be. Only color

legged democracy.

SOUTHERN "FoRWARD"> BUNK

Recently there was a 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:
1.-The next big forward step in the
inter-racial read justrnent 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 E.<
It is true that some of the jim
crow leaders" Of the South have said
that they do not want anything but
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
Element upon the country. T.
They know that the South has. in
all its forward" movements pro-
ceeded like the crab-backward They
know that the colored citizens of the
South have been disfranchised, dis
crmtllnated 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 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. 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 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 enjoy
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. n the North, where there
are no jimcroW laws, colored and
white people go together in public
places without intermamiage. Mar
riages between white and colored
people are 50 rare that when they
occur, and that IS seldom there is a
long story in the papers about the

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 typihes doctrine which cost our
country million lives and a 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.
