MR.. HARDING'S CHANCE.

For eight years one-twelfth of the
citizenry Of the United States suffer-
ed from the humiliation of segrega-
ton in the civil service of the coun-
try. It was a condition forced by
President Wilson, who while deliver
ing his smooth talks about world
democracy, used his great power to
humiliate and degrade millions of his
fellow countrymen.
Wilson considered himself a SUPER
man, and his ambition was to be the
president of a super-government and
go down in history as the greatest
man who ever lived. Regulated at
the ballot box by his countrymen. he
is today, according to all accounts a
physical wreck. And as he sits in
his easy chair, his keen intellect is
tortured by the spectres of his de-
feated ambitions.
Mr.. Harding, you have the pow
er to wipe out the President Wilson's
great wrong to the colored people.
You have stated on many occasions
that you believe in equality of citi-
zenship. You have the power to- is
sue an executive order abolishing
segregation in the departments at
Washington and in the Civil Service
of the United States.
Will you do it, Mr.. Harding?

NEGRO" ECONOMICS.

The Secretary Of Labor is out in
a circular which says:
''The so-called Division of Negro
Economics has been abolished bv the
Secretary of Labor, largely because
there is no such thing as segregation
in the economics of colored wage
earners from those of any other race
1t is fundamentally un-American to
create classes or to recognize classes
Our laws do not distinguish between
white men and colored men and any
other class or classes"
While the above is logical and the
rhetoric fine, it is not absolutely true,
because the laws do differentiate be-
tween colored men and white men.
However, we are pleased that the
Bureau Of Negro Economics" is
dead. So far as the editor knows,
THE APPEAL was the only news
paper to protest the formation of
such a segregated bureau. In a long
editorial we called attention to the
absurdity of such a division and it's
danger to the colored people in the
formation of jincrow bureaus.

business sharp, nor waste a golden
day, when carpenters consent to carp

mayhap; the normalcy that Warren
G. has placed upon the map. Alas,
poor dreaming, hopeful men, what
are you waiting for? You'll never
see the price again you saw before

repudiated the. action of Professor
Jeremiah Young, who omitted the
name of Willard Morrow, colored
student, when he was assigning seats
in alphabetical order, by voting to
permit Morrow to take his place in
alphabetical sequence with the other
students.
Professor Young told Morrow he
could take seat at either side or
in the rear of the room. Morrow
protested that he should he allowed
to be seated as the others, threaten
ing to quit the class. He appealed
to his fellow students. Professor
Young, filled with an unholy preiu-
dice, at first refused to accede, but
the matter was put to a vote and
the students decided that Morrow
should be seated by alphabetical Sc
qeunce. Good!

JAZZ.

Jazz music is popular with many
people, because they have not been
trained to appreciate music of the
better kind. Those who ought to
know say, that jazz music is detri
mental to both morals and health.
Shakespeare said that Emusic hath
charms to soothe the savage breast"
Well, jazz was tried ON the animals
of the New York ZOO the other day
and the monkey registered emotion,
but of rather savage kind. Then
the latest jazz was banged into the
ears of lions and their mates. All
hoped to their feet, with fur brist-
ling. The hippopotamus wrecked the
experiment by diving into her tank
and shutting out the racket. The
elephants seemed to tremble with
rage.
Now comes DR.. Robertson, Health
Commissioner of Chicago, who says
the pace that kills is the kind set to
the jazz band. And the man or
woman who is charmed by the indigo
toots of the saxophone will fill a
dancers grave. "Get back to rhythm"
counsels the doctor. "If you must
dance and it is great exercise-waltz.
Nothing is more beautiful or bene-
fcial."
''There are few things the human
frame is not equipped to do; one of
them is the shivering, quivering, raz-
zle-dazzle, nerve-racking and current
form of amusement obtained by keep
ing time to the screams and whistles
Of modern jazz orchestras. Consider
the cat Tabby has more endurance
than any other animal. Why? Be-
cause she is the most rhymthmical
animal in the world Even it's purr
is rhymthical. If a cat tried to
shimmy every night or to toddle and
do the lame giraffe it would die in
no time. Music is one of the best
preventives of nervous disorders, /
know. It's a home necessity. But
jazz music isn't. If you hear enough
of it, it will set you crazy"

ANTl-LYNCHING BILL,

Representative L. C. Dyer, Repub-
lican of Missouri, has introduced a
bill in Congress providing that per-
sons accused of lynching shall be
tried in Federal instead of State
courts, and that those found guilty
of participating in lynchings shall
suffer the death penalty. Every one
ought to get behind this bill and
push its passage. It is infinitely bet
ter than the Mccormick bill which
authorizes commission to "study'
lynching. No study is necessary; the
facts are patent. Minnesota has done
her part by enacting an anti-lynch-
ing law. Now give us a national law.
