EDITOR w. n. STEWARD
For az Years Editor Of the American
Baptist, Celebrates His 75th
r* Anniversary

The 10Th anniversary of the BIRTH
day Ct Mr.. William H. Steward, edi-
tor OF the American Baptist for. ~
years, fell on July 18th and the good
people Of the city made this the oc-
casion of a big BANQUET in his honor
at the Empire Hotel to congratulate
him on mis- long life of usefulness IN
their midst.
Having been born in the "Falls
City, over "a years ago and having
lived there for nearly 40 years We
are acquainted with many of the par
Elephants on this suspicious occasion
and it brings to mind the days of
"Auld lang SINE" i
We recall that Mr.. Steward re-
'celved some Of his early education ir
our fathers, Rev. Henry Adams
school, before the days of public
schools.
We are well acquainted with, the
first speaker, Mr.. Samuel w. Jordan
who went to school to US, and also
with DR.. John H. Frank, pastor of
Fifth Street Baptist church, founded
and pastored by our father, and
which has had but two other pastors
IN all these years, Rev. Andrew
Heath and the present pastor. We
are also acquainted with the orly
lady speaker on the program, Mrs.
L. B. Sneed and Prof: J. S. Cotter,
Prof. A. E. Mayzeek, Prof. William
Perry, Dr.: C. H. Parrish, Mr.. Chas:>
B. Preston, Mr.. Thos. F. Blue and Mr..
Alex Morris. We also recall Misses
Jennie Burks and Mary Baker, Mrs.
Rebecca Quigley Smith, DR.. Felix S.
Fowler, Dr.. Chas. F. Snead and Miss
Alice Crutcher. .--.,-
And no one better deserved the
toast of Mr.. Morris, and the silver
loving cup presented by Mr.. Blue and
the purse of $54.0O presented by
Fifth Street Baptist Sunday school
Of which he had been superintendent
for IS years than Mr.. w. H. Steward.
Surely here was prophet that had
honor among his own people and we
extend our congratulations and hope
he may live many more years.

CARNEY. TIE ylMCROlST

Recently in New Orleans, Marcus
Garvey, who is not a citizen of the
United States, according to the as
ISOLATED press, said:
"his is white mans country. He
found it, conquered it, and we can't
blame him if he wants to keep it. l
am not vexed with the white man of
the South. for jimcrowing me because
/ am black. :....'
Il never built any street cars or
railroads. The white man built them
for his own convenience. And if I
don't want to ride where he's willing
to let me ride I'd better walk" <.
-@ That is a servile, foolish and dan
'gerous statement, but it sounds very
much like some of the Booker-Moton
talk which we have heard in recent
years. f.:
For years THE APPEAL has
preached that the greatest menace
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1922-08-12

which it would be well for white men
to take notice Of and follow. r..
AT Westheld, N. j., a. colored golf
club has been established and a nine
hole course laid out. A colored colony
there seems to warrant the golf
course. The item that this course is
laid out will cause million giggles
to sizzle across the country. Cartoon
lists will make funny pictures of it..
Vaudeville artists will do sketches
about it. Something exquisitely funny
seems to excite the white race when
it sees the colored race doing things
which are ordinary part of the days
work and play to the white people. 1t
is as though the elephant should drive
an auto or horse play the piano.
@'The reason for the visibility of the
white man at the black mans human
activities is obvious, and it is no credit
to the white man. He thinks it is
funny to see the black man doing
things that normal human beings do,
because the white man does not think
Of his dark-skinned fellow-traveler on
the planet as human companion. The
white man considers any colored man
black, brown, red, yellow or maroon
as an animal. The anthropological
conceit of the white man in ponderous,
unbelievable, vastly amusing to the
gods.
"Why should not the black man play
golf If his economic status gives him
leisure for golf? Why should he not
have motor car and country house
if he can afford it, Why giggle at
the normal activities of men whose
skin differs from your own? Some
thing of the same psychological reason
is being the fact that we n1iddle-class
people make merry over the fact that
the worker in the mines or shops or
furnaces wears silk shirt of rents a
house with a bath or rides to work in
a car Why shouldn't he? Is he an
elephant doing stunts Is he horse
playing the piano? What's the Joke
if he develops the same desires and
aspirations that we do? And who in
GODS name are we, anyway? --'= -

Anti-Lynch Law Needed

The fifth amendment to the consti-
tuition declares that mo person shall
be deprived Of life, liberty, or property
without due process of law" These
words should assure to- every citizen
or resident Of America due process Of
law, regardless Of the source or direc-
ton whence the fundamental right is
threatened. Congress must possess
the power to enact any appropriate
Legislation designed to prevent and
punish wilful violation of this right.
Since it is notorious that the states
have not been able to enforce effective
~ their anti-lynching laws, and since
American citizens have been and are
being deprived of life by mobs, there
IS no alternative save federal leg,is-
lation to carry out the constitutional
mandate.-Chicago News.

postoffice department ever since Mr..
Harding was inaugurated. The post
master general is very shrewd man,
and he says that the government is
losing great deal of money through
its failure to build enough buildings
to take care of its needs, and thus be
relieved of the payment of many mil
lions of dollars in rents every year
for buildings which are often unsuita-
BILE and unsightly.
"He says that many of the build
ings provided by the treasury depart
ment for postoffice purposes in our
principal business centers were made
quate when completed, and that the
gradual rise of postoffice business
since last November shows that the
country is rapidly reaching period of
unprecedented commercial activity. OF
course, if this wonderful rise in bust
moss forges ahead, the present build
ings and surroundings provided for the
business of the postoffices will result
in service embarrassments beyond de-
scription.
"When we realize that the govern
ment is paying an annual rental of Z
per cent of the actual cost of the
buildings being used, we can better
realize that it is necessary to build
and own all the postoffice buildings
the government uses and this is the
idea that Postmaster General Work is
trying to impress upon the country.
"W3th the combined efforts of Post
master General Work, who is, of
course, interested first of all because
he knows and sees the need first, and
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon who
as a real business man, quickly sees
the sense of Mr.. Works argument, the
government will soon, under Republi-
can adm nistration, see all postoffices
built by and owned by the government.
This will not only mean buildings built
right and for the needs of this great
business of handling mail and parcel
post, but also great saving to the
taxpayers of the country
Now off to bed, both of you.''
