The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1922-01-21
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
people because it promises too much.
! The ten thousand colored people
who listened to the President appeal
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 internarriage laws, jimcrow
street cars and railways, no political
offices for colored people and discrin-
nation at every point Of contact be-
tween the two races. Carried out to
it's logical conclusion the President
would sanction a 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.
1t comes with poor grace from a
President of the United States to
thunder Grace amalgamation, there
cannot be" and close his eyes to mil
lions of mulattoes in this country who
represent the lust of the white race.
We ardently believe with the Presi-
dent that colored people should d.
vide their votes, but we should have
preferred to hear him say so before
his election rather than after it.
The Afro-American admires 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.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1922-01-21

President has taken advantage of an.
opportunity and thrust his views upon
the public ear, for the purpose of Gre
ating 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 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
social equality" imply that al RIGHTS
are secure. In the South there Is

Complete Surrender to LiIy-White.
(From the Independent, Atlanta, Ca

(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 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, C. B. Mil
Ter, Joe Keeling and Houston were
delegated to come to Georgia and re-
move the regular Republican state
central committee and put a new COM
mittee 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
mingham? We submit this to the
deliberate judgment Of mankind and
ask verdict.

President Harding Runs True to Form.
(From the PHILADELPHIA American


President Harding, in his address at
Ala, on Wednesday last, nobly sus-
tanned his unenviab1e 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 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
ings, we fancy, peace on earth and
good will to all white men in the
South. The Presidents mental ba-
rometer 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
q affiliations. IL the President had

Upper Columbia Co.
Has Large Apple Crop

Joseph F. Reed, manager of the
Upper Columbia Orchard Co., was in
Colville this week, and states that he
is now engaged in apple harvest,
with a crew of about 80 in orchard
and packing house. He has secured
some expert packers this year, some
of them from the orange orchards
of California. The output this year
will be from 70 to 80 cars of apples,
consisting of Rome Beauties, Wine
saps, Jonathans and Spitzenbergs.
There is a fair market. Some will
be shipped to London, and some will
be placed in eastern cold storage.
Mr. Reed states that he can use more
pickers.
The company has employed ]. w.
Beardsley, a New York engineer, to
survey for a larger water system,
and a crew of men is now at work
on the engineering problems requir-
ed to irrigate 700 more acres of land.
The company now irrigate 200 acres.
1t is planned to build a reservoir and
run pipe lines through the entire
orchard.

Attends MOrticians Meet
and Visits in Many Places

Mr.. and Mrs. Quinn w. McCord re-
turned from the east last Saturday,
she having spent s weeks visiting
friends and relatives, and he having
spent weeks visiting and attend
ing the convention of the National
Selected Morticians at Columbus,
Ohio. They visited her parents Dr.
and Mrs. A. w. Jameson at Zenia,
Ohio, and stopped at various points
in Illinois and Iowa.
When asked what business condi-
tions were like in the east, Mr.. Me-
Cord replied: "Nearly everyone |
have met since returning from the
east asked that same question. 1t
shows that the people are looking for

and shingle mill has been bought,
to be installed soon. A Holt lotion
caterpillar is in use for hauling logs
from the woods to the mill, the first
machine of that kind in use in the
northern part of the county. A new
engine and dynamo has been pur-
chased for furnishing. lights in tine
plant. There are now eight dwelling
houses at the camp, with three more
in construction. An office building
and warehouse is yet to be built.
Seventeen acres of land are being
cleared to serve as a lumber yard.
The winter cut will commence Nov.
Is, when the mill crew will probably
be doubled in order to run night
crew.
Most of the lumber goes to the
Minnesota transfer, to Muskegon,
and to New York city. Much of the
product of the mill is picket stock
for use in window curtain rollers.

LaSOta Lumber Camp
Sees Much Activity

With a crew of 60 men at the mill,
and rs men in the woods, F. P. La
Sofa has charge of a busy commu-
nifty at his mill II miles southeast OF
Northport. This mill produces lum-
ber, lath, pickets, shingles and poles,
and expects to put four to six mil
lion feet of timber through the mill
this winter, putting on a night crew
soon. There are two million feet of
white pine now on the skids.
An eight mile logging road has
Just been completed. Twenty thous-
and poles have been marketed since
the mill started last spring, and there
are twenty thousand more in the
woods. Arthur M. Wilson, who has
charge of the pole hauling, has the
record of having hauled all the logs
this summer without having to unload
but one load.
F. P. LaSota is owner and opera
tor of the mill. George A. Seal is
superintendent of the mill and yard.
Kelley Jackson is woods foreman.
AL. Treverton is the cook house con-
tractor. L. R. Gordon is in charge of
the office and the store.
The lath mill is a new institution,

for farm products and a shortage of
freight cars. The strike situation
seems to be slowly adjusting itself
and the old order of things so far
as the dictatory union heads are con-
cerned, has begun to pass away. AS
the railroad heads have learned that
they must pay a fair wage for
days work, so must the heads of the
unions learn that they must encour-
age rather than discourage a fair
days work for a days pay"
Professional standards and ideals
and a vision of service ahead of
profits, was the compelling message
of the convention of the National
Selected Morticians at Columbus. The
National Selected Morticians is the
highest type organization to which
funeral directors are eligible, men,
bership in which is confined to
single individual in a city, and these
by invitation only.
