NOTION A MENACE
(From the Chicago Whip.)


Robert Russa Motion, President of
Tuskegee Institute, President of the
National Negro Business League and
also holder of many high-sounding
titles, arrogated to himself the right
to speak for the twelve million black
people Of America on Memorial Day
in Washington upon the occasion of
the: dedication of the Lincoln Memo
rial. Motion is man of sparce and
meager training and is very poorly
lettered in. comparison with other
men of his race. He cannot be ac-
credited with depth of thought or
originality: he has merely followed in
the beaten footsteps of his predeces-
sor, Booker I, Washington. He has
never raised his@voice ina belligerent-
note to the many insults and crimes
perpetrated against his race in this
country. He is a man who breaches
submission and docility at any price.
When he had the opportunity on Me-
mortal Day Of expressing himself as
a man he afforded nothing more than
the old stereotyped line of oratorical
etfulgence which has made his race
the target of worldwide derision and
disrespect. He failed to mention the
fact that Texas had just burned five
men of his own race at the stake. He
could only say that he pledged the
loyalty Of his race to the flag. Major
Motion was given authority to pledge
nothing and he does not represent the
higher type of black people who real
ly feel that they are men and desire
nothing short of absolute and un-
qualified liberty. Imagine De Valera,
DAnnuzio, Gandhi or any real men
getting up before the public and pros
tituting the ideals of their down-trod-:
den race in such mein. Motion is a
menace to the future of the twelve
million black people of America and
should be decried by all who have ra-
cial respect. :
The foregoing is the best editorial
which has appeared in a journal cir
culating among the colored people for
many moons. May the tribe Of edi-
tors who show up the hand-picked
cowardly "leaders," increase.

tee Endorses Anti
LynChing Bill.

We find that further legislation
should be enacted by the congress to
punish and prevent lynching and mob
violence" was the official recomen-
dation Of the American Bar Associa-
tion's committee on law enforcement
made at it's annual meeting at San
Francisco en- August 10.
The recommendation quoted above
gives official endorsement to the anti
lynching bill by the most influential
group of lawyers in America. The
American Bar Association is COM
posed Of the most illustrious lawyers
in the country, including such jurists
as William H. Taft, chief Justice of
United States court: Charles Evans
HUGHES, secretary Of state; Charles
5. Whitman, former governor of New

bers Of the bar in all parts of the
country. :-- ~

bill by the American Bar Association

been given to the measure make the

moves any and all excuses on the
score of const stitutionality which the

This action also marks another
forward step in the systematic work
which the NJ. A. A. C. P. has been
continuously carrying on to secure
the enactment of anti-lynching legis-

GIVES GOOD ADVICE

It is not often that we find a white
man advocating the doings Of colored
people, because they are just like
other people, with the same desires,
the same aspirations, and have God
given right to indulge in them. A
couple of weeks ago we published the
account of formation of a golf club
at "Shady Rest" near Westfeld, N.
j., and now comes William Allen
White, editor Of the Emporia (Kan-
sas) Gazette with some good advice
which it would be we'll for white men
to take notice Of and follow.
"At Westfield, N. j., 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 a 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. It
is as though the elephant should drive
an auto or a horse play the piano.
The reason for the risibility 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
The Appeal., 1922-08-19

black, brown, red, yellow or maroon
-as an animal. The anthropological
conceit Of the White man IN ponderous,
unbelievable, vastly amusing to the
gods.
'sWhy should not the black man play
golf if his economic status gives him
leisure for golf? Why should he not
have a motor car and a country house
if he can afford it? Why giggle at
the normal activities of men whose
skin differs from your. ..ewn? Some
thing of the same psychological reason
is being the fact that we middle-class
people make merry over the fact that
the worker in the mines or shops or
furnaces wears, a silk shirt of rents a
house with a bath or rides to work in
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?

~MOTON'S LAST OPPORTUNITY

Motion had the great opportunity of
mis- life to strike a blow for freedom
when he was on the platform as the
alleged representative Of the colored
people. Had he been a brave and
fearless leader, when he learned of
the segregation of the colored people
at the exercises he would have turned
20 President Harding and said: "Mr.
President of the United States, Mr..
Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Before making my set address, I
must make protest against the Sc
;regation and humiliation of the COL
ored people at these exercises dedi-
.ating a monument to the memory of
he Great Emaneipator, and as rep
resentative of one-eighth of the peo-
pie of the United States l say that
unless the barriers are torn down and
every vestige of discrimination re-
moved my prepared address will re-
main unspoken and the only words l
shall utter will be the words I have
Just voiced. Let that go into the rec
Jrds as my speech"
Such a statement would have Gre
ated a sensation. 1t would have
brought home to the audience the in
famous state Of affairs into which
the nation has drifted. It would have
made Motion a real leader and his
words would have gone laundering
down the ages. --.,.:
Motion had not the courage to say
it.

A good deal Of harm has come
from the popular notion that some

sirable in every case where local au-

AMERICAN UNITY LEAGUE FIGHTS
K, x, K

The American Unity League has
opened it's heavy guns on the Ku
Klux Klan. ... ...>r
Appeals were sent to 1000 Pro-
testant ministers and Jewish rabbis,
ealing on them to support the league
in its campaign against the Klan and
its policies which, it is asserted,
would plunge America into the hat
reds, bigotries and strifes that have
kept the rest of the world in turmoil,
war and poverty.
The appeals were signed by Bishop
Samuel Fallows, presiding bishop of
the Reformed Episcopal church, and
honorary chairman of the league;
Attorney Patrick H. O'Donnell, tenn
porary executive chairman, and S. M.
Melamed, editor of "East and West.'
The appeal read in part:
"The American Unity League is
established to challenge, locally and
nationally, the power of the Ku Klux
klan and its right to exist. It's
crusade is directed against these of
the Catholic faith and. Jewish belief,
and also against the foreign-born
citizens and the Negro race, regard
less of religious creed.
"The Klan appeals to the power
full Professionalism Of the country to
give them the strength needed in
this political crusade, thereby at
tempting to join church and state in
government.
"The United States is based upon
three fundamental principles.
1. Separation of church and state.
2. Freedom of worship.
8. An equality of all men before
the law.
The Catholics, in self-defense, can
be expected to oppose them. The
Jew will likewise offer a solid re-
sistance. And we believe the Pro-
testant denominations will not de-
part from their century long policy Of
liberation and freedom.

According to a statement just issued
by the postoffice department, about
1885, 100000 letters are going
through the United States mails
every year. This is an average of
l12 letters to a person, based on the
last census. The nation which comes
second in letter writing is Great
Britain, which has a per capita aver
age Of "a letters annually. Germany
has a per capita average of Is and
Italy "a. Letter writing has in
