will BE DISAPPOINTED

The imperialistic Harding admins
tration is absolutely opposed to CIV
ing immediate independence to the
Philippines and the Filipino independ-
ence commission due to arrive in this
country soon to plead it's cause prob
abl' is doomed to failure. Both the
President and the Secretary of War,
Weeks are opposed to independence.
Of course the United States solemnly
promised to give the Filipinos free
dom, but what is promise to a great
country we'll supplied with warships
and money and the people to whom
the promise is given are weak and
defenseless? =
A letter Of instructions issued by
independence commission of the Phil
ippnes to the second Filipino mission
says at the outset:
"Gentlemen: The mission shall
bring before the President and con-
gross of the United States this just
demand of the Filipino people. The
sacred promise made by the Ameri-
can people of granting US our indie
pendence as soon as stable govern
ment can be established in our coun-
try should be, without delay, COM
piled with"

SHOULD INVESTIGATE

What is more cruel than color pref
udice? It knows no law of fairness
and right. Justice is said to be blind
but not SO where color is concerned.
The latest evidence of the unfair
ness of color prejudice is found in the
alleged failure of Emile Treville
Holly who was appointed to Annapo-
lis and who failed CD in the mental
test. The examination papers are
marked by three officers who are sup
posed not to know the names of the
candidates, but who believe that
where there was so much at stake,
there was not some trick that en-
abled them to know Holly's papers :?
When he was nominated we felt
that no matter how well he showed
up there would be way found ,to
keep him out-and there was.
THE APPEAL doubts the fairness
of the findings and suggests the N.
A. A. C. P. investigate the matter
and demand the production of the
original examination papers.

Be a Good Mixer.
(From the Boston Guardian

" rom Cne Boston Guardlan.)
TOO MUCH STRESS cannot be
laid on the Importance of colorea men
and women everywhere rubbing ell
BOWS with men and women of other
races and colors. In this wav alone
fhave we any chance of understand
ing other people and having other
people understand us. Most of the
trouble between the white and black
people of this country or any other
country where there is any trouble
between races of different colors.
doubtless is due to a lack of mutual
understanding. And, where such es-
sential is lacking misunderstanding
is the inevitable consequence. Gen.
uine sympathy and friendly cooper
alton between men and nations come
only from contact. Our best friends
are those who know more about US
ana our bltterest antagonists are
those who know less about US.
Here in Boston all men of all races
may meet together in all public
places and if the opportunity for mu-
tual understanding thus given is
used for all it is worth there is no
excuse for ugly race friction so COM
mon in other parts of the country.
From one blood God created all the
different races Of men and He in
tended that they should sall dwell to-
gether in peace and harmony. This
is as it should be and as it will be
some sweet day. Therefore, it be-
hooves us all to take advantage of
every given opportunity to know our
nelghbors better. Join in with the
crowds. Be good mixer. .,.-

FRENCH AS AN AID

The knowledge of French is not a
social asset in the class Of pearl
gray spats, canes and ability to. han
die teacup with dexterity. It is a
matter Of commercial and political
expediency. !,
Prof. Harry Kurz, professor Of
Knox college, in attendance at the
seventh annual meeting Of the asso-
citation of modern language teachers
at the Auditorium hotel, Chicago,
discussed the value of French as a
business proposition.
French is not a 'parlor language
nor language for women" he said.
GAS long as four centuries ago a
celebrated Spanish king, Charles v
said that if he wanted to talk to God
he would use. Spanish; that if he
wanted talk to a woman he would
use Italian; to his horse German
but to a man, French.
Business is not merely the max.
ing OF money. The representative
business man is citizen of the
world. French is the biggest asset
for being world citizen. The big
gest firms Of America advertise .ex.
tensively in French magazines, be-
cause French is spoken everywhere
The. international language is one
that has the greatest clarity. French
is that language, with English a
close second"
ut was the language used at the
Genoa and Washington conferences
There are great consular as we'll a;
business opportunities for the young
man who speaks French
:The French language will play its
part in the development of the movies
and in the solution of Americas race
problem" the professor said.
'There are some millions of col,
ored people under the jurisdiction Of
the French government, yet France
has no race problem. A study Of
French would, I believe, open up the
hearts and minds of Americans to {
realization of the French attitude
toward the colored people,"

M,asons Deny AffiIiation

Portland, Ore, May. "Ominous
and forbidding rumors" falsely init
mate that the Masonic fraternity is
aligned in approval of "a movement
melting religious bigotry and racial
discrimination" said an official circu-
lar issued last night by Frank S.
Baillie, grand master of the Oregon
grand lodge of Masons. j
The circular, which mentioned no
specific organization, followed closely
the lines Of one recently issued by
the grand master of the California
grand lodge, in which membership in
the Ku Klux Klan by Masons was
discountenanced.
Any person appearing masked on
the streets of Portland will be liable
to arrest on a charge of disorderly
conduct, Chief of Police Jenkins an
nounced. Orders to make arrests of
such persons were issued at the same
time. The orders resulted from a
statement by Fred L. Clifford, exalted
cyclops of Luther Powell Khan No. 1,
realm Of Oregon, that Ku Klux Khan
robes were being initiated and he
feared trouble of some sort that
might be laid. to the door of the khan.

-. LYNCHING BILL DELAYED
Senate Committee Action POSTPONED
Pending Discussion

r Washington; May 25.-Unable to
reach a decision on the House anti
lynching bill, the Senate judiciary
committee today decided to postpone
action for two weeks, to give time
for consultation with House LADDERS.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
chairman of the subcommittee i in
charge of the bill which advised that
the House bill was unconstitutional;
was appointed to confer with Repre-
sentative Dyer, Republican, Missouri,
author of the House measure; Repre-
sentative Volstead, Republican, Min
nesota, chairman Of the House COM
mlttee, and other House members in
terested in the bill. -.
The suggestion for substitute bill
to meet the constitutional objections
was said to be prominent in the COM
mittee's consideration. and Republi-
can leders predicted that some COM
promise measure would be worked
out.

UNJUST NOT BE

The proposition to establish a play
ground for COLORED children IN St.
Paul is un-American and THE AP-
PEAL is opposed to it.
One of the strange phases of i'm
crowism in these days in the fact that
mne-tenths of the plans to degrade
the colored people into a pariah class
are conceived in the brains of people
who call themselves Christians. In
the majority Of cases when the col
ored man is kicked down it is done
TOR his benefit" and Sin the name Of
The Lord"
No doubt some of the promoters
believe that they are doing a great
thing for the colored people of Saint
Paul but they are mistaken.
No greater evil could come to Saint
Paul, to the white people as well as
the colored people, than the attempt
to segregate one group Of citizens.
It is a thing which will serve to in
fame the fires of race prejudice.
: 1t, is inconeeivable that any col
ored people could so belittle them
selves as to be parties to so infam-
GUS a scheme and it is Infamous
whether it is so intended or not. We
are glad to know that the superin-
tendent of Fairgrounds opposes the
plan.
The decent self-respecting people
OF Saint Paul must fight the nefari-
Gus scheme to a finish. If you are a
good American you should oppose it.
1T MUST NOT BE!

Arthur Brisbane of the Hearst

"Dispatches late yesrady said that

underestimate the power of such an

of other secret organizations fails to
understand that what Fourier called
the capitalistic' instinct in man is
overwhelmingly powerful.
To know something that other do

THE BRAzILIANs ARE WARY

At the Des Moines general assem-

overt and open attacks upon native
workers were charged in the report,
which quoted from minutes Of the
Brazilian mission "that the Roman
Catholic church has officially de-
clared guerra sem streguas' (war
without quarter) against Protestant
ism in Brazil"
The majority of the people of Bra
iii are colored-African and Indian
and it is likely that the intelligentsia
realize that if any kind Of Protest
antism gets foothold in Brazil, it
will mean the degradation and segree
cation which white Protestant Chris
tianity has brought to the colored
people of the u. S. A.
