The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1922-01-14

After his argument in favor of
distinct place for the black and COL
ored people, Mr.. Harding tells US that
the zone thing we must most sedu-
lousy avoid is the development of
group and class organizations in this
country" He argued against the very
thing which he has previously argued
for. There are just as many differ
ences between the individuals of any
one race as their are between the peo-
pie Of any number Of races. The
idea of race differentiation in any
form in the law, in the functions Of
the government, and in public asso-
citation is contrary to just concept
OF democracy in which all men are
presumed to be equal, and is repug-
nant to the highest ideals Of the
Christians God, who is declared to
have made Of one blood all nations
of men. IL Mr.. Harding is right,
God is wrong.
# Mr.. Harding had had the time
to study the question and he had
studied it with an open mind he would
have found that in France, Spain and
Portugal, there have never been any
racial hatreds founded on the color OF
!! the skin and the same is true of South
and Central America. In these coun-
tries, unhampered by class and color
distinctions colored men have risen tc
the highest places in every branch Of
human endeavor. There are more
full-blooded Negroes in Brazil thar
i in the United States; and, counting
the mixed blood population of black
Indian and white, and the pure whites
the population totals over 10000, DOT
who live together in perfect harmony
without any public differentiation Of

race. There are no social barriers
whatever in Brazil and it is COM
plete refutation of the idea that there
must be social bars between the men
and women who are citizens of a
country.
Color differentiation means the as
tendency of one caste and the degra-
dation of the other. Social equality
does not necessarily mean amalgama-
ton. That should be a matter for
individuals to determine. During the
coming disarmament parley, the Japa-
nese will be treated with the greatest
social consideration. They will be
wined and dined and received at every
social function, meeting people whc in
their hearts hold hatred toward them,
and in spite of all the social minglinS
it is safe to say that not single
marriage will result.
In democracy like ours, all men,
whether they are black or white, red,
yellow or brown, should meet in, all
human relationships without racial

President and he had promised to aid
in eliminating segregation. Then
came speech to number Of colored
delegations from the Harding front
porch, which began with, "Fellow
Americans" and ended with, "Colored
men, America will not fail you"
These assurances caused THE AP-.#
PEAL to give candidate Harding
enthusiastic support. Our support,
probably, had little to do with the
victory, but is mentioned to show that
this paper was not prejudiced against
him.
Soon after the President assumed
his duties it was noticed that he
seemed to forget his promises. Sc
gregation in the departments at
Washington was continued, three or
four jimcrow colored men were APP
pointed to jimcrow government posi-
tions. Colored youth were segregated
in the. army training camps and col
ored men were not allowed to enlist
in the navy. In every way the Hard
ing administration has stood for the
segregation of colored citizens and it
is sad to relate that some jimcroW
men accept this jimcrow settlement
of matters.
THE APPEAL does not believe, as
Mr.. Harding puts it, that there is a
fundamental, eternal and unescap-
able difference between the races"
70 do so would be to challenge God
and Christianity. It is a distinct de-
| parture from the ideals Of the found
Iers of the Republic who declared that
IuaH men arc created pn11a1 and an.
| dowed by their Creator with certain
Iinalienahle rights, among them life
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness

President Harding Runs True to Form.

(Ffom the Philadelphia Amerlcan.)
President Harding, in his address at
the semi-centennial in Birmingham,
Ala, on Wednesday last, nobly sus-
tanned his unenviable reputation as
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 uttering in favor of equal protec-
ton of the law, the enforcement Of
the Federal Constitution, nor against
lynching or the roasting Of human be-
ings at the stake. He did not even
ask the moral support Of his audi
tors for the passage of the anti
! lynching bill now before Congress
| About all Of these important things,
he was absolutely silent-and why?
| 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

South The Presidents mental ba-
ronaeter 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. IL the President had
discussed the race question from the
standpoint Of equality before the law,

President has taken advantage of an
opportunity and thrust his views upon.
the public ear, for the purpose of Gre
ating a sentiment in favor Of his ideas
on the subject, which were evidently
obtained from individuals and books
favorable to the, South but inimical to
the real interests Of the colored peo-
pie.
The President enormously con-
Pounds "social equality" with amalga-
nation. He says that amalgamation.
cannot be, but it exists, it has always
existed and always will exist. The
combined efforts of the law and pub
lie opinion have failed to prevent the
mixing Of the races. Throughout the
ages there has been so much racial
mixing that today the scientists and
ethnologists agree that there is no
such thing as a pure race. In no
other country on the globe has there
been more racial mixing than in the
United States which is the melting
pot Of the world. The majority of
the people of the United States are
mixtures Of various races and the
greater part Of this majority is-com-
posed of people with more or less
Negro blood. The racial mixing in
the South is almost wholly illegitimate
as the laws make marriage between
+ the races a crime.
Now as to social equality, that ex-
lists in some part of the United
States and it is only in those parts
of the country which have more OF
less Of social equality that the colored
people have any rights which the
white people respect. The very words

Condemns Presidents Conception Of
American Citizenship.

(From the Afro-American, Baltimore)
President Harding's Birmingham
speech is being criticised by colored
people because it promises the COL
ored race too little and by the white
The ten thousand colored people
for political and educational equal
ity for them, cheered because they
know that their own state disfran-
chises them by the thousands and
robs them Of millions of dollars Of
school funds. His twenty thousand
white hearers were correspondingly
silent.
On the other hand President Hard
ing subscribed to the white South's
view Of "social equality" which
means intermarriage laws, jimcrow
street cars and railways, no political
Offices for colored people and discrim-
ination at every point Of contact be-
tween the two races. Carried out to
it's logical conclusion the President
would sanction separate school for
the hundred colored families in Ban
gor Me-, separate cars for the Boston
subways and a disruption of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
It comes with poor grace from
President of the United States to
thunder Grace an1algamation, there
cannot be- and close his eyes to mil
lions of n1ulattoes in this country who
represent the lust Of the white race.
We ardently believe with the Presi-
dent that colored people should di-
vide their votes, but we should have
preferred to hear him say so before
his election rather than after it.
The Afro-American adn1ires the
Presidents courage, believes in his
sincerity, but condemns his concep-
ton of American citizenship, his igno-
rance of the history Of civilization
and his bad taste .'..

Complete Surrender to LiIy-White.

OOHPIeIS SURRENDER 10 EIly-WHIte.
(From the Independent, Atlanta, Ga.)
81 will not appoint any colored men
to office in the South. Sink Or swim,
survive or perish, live or die, I shall
stand by this position"
Is that in keeping with his great
utterances of political equality at
Birmingham? On the contrary does
it not contradict that policy?
The President has made a complete
surrender to the lily-whites who have
moved heaven and earth to eliminate
the Negro from party councils. He
has placed the leadership in the hands
of such men as Bascom Slemp of Vir-
ginia. Colored men were driven out
Of the Republican convention by Or
der Of Slemp. On July 26, G. B. Mil
Ter, Joe Keeling and Houston were
delegated to come to Georgia and re-
move the regular Republican state
central committee and put new COM
nnittee in charge because the Presi-
dent said there must be white leader
ship without regard to regularity,
and the rules Of the party.
We again ask, does this comport
with the Presidents demand for DO,
litical equality as advocated at Biz
minghanl? We submit this to the
deliberate judgment Of mankind and
ask verdict.
