WILSON vs. VARDAMAN'

Ex-president Wilson has at last
done one thing for which he will re-
ceive the thanks of the colored peo-
pie of the country.
In answer to a query relative to
what he thinks of former Senator
James K. Vardaman, who is a candi-
date for United States senator, DR..
James F. McCaleb of Carlisle, Clai-
borne county, received a reply from
former President Woodrow Wilson,
asserting that he thought Mr.. Var
daman Thoroughly false and untrust-
worthy"
Mr.. Wilson's letter follows: 6
'My Dead DR.. McCaleb: 80
II have your letter Of July 5. In
reply let me, say that I am not in a
position to review Mr.. Vardaman's
record in Washington in detail, but
1 can sum up my impression of him
in single sentence: ...r.. . r..
~ think he is thoroughly false and
untrustworthy, and that it would be
great detriment to Mississippi and
the nation if he should be returned to
the Senate. .~#s. ..~.. ..-s e.

CARNEY THE JlMCROlST

Recently in New Orleans, Marcus
Garvey, who is not a citizen of the
United States, according to the as
ISOLATED press, said:
chs is a white mans country. He
found it, conquered it, and we can't
blame him if he wants to keep it.
am not vexed with the white man of
the South for jimcrowing me because
I am black.
II never built any street cars or
railroads. The white man built them
for his own convenience. And if
don't want to ride where he's willing
to let me ride I'd better walk
That is servile, foolish and dan
gerous statement, but it sounds very
much like some of the Booker-M Motion
talk which we have heard in recent
years.
For years THE APPEAL has
preached that the greatest menace
to the rights of all Americans is the
jimcrow black man.

EDUCATION VALuE
U. S, Commissioner Urges Stud
ents to Advertise Benefits
Of Schooling.

What education needs more than
anything else right now. is somebody
to "sell' it to the American public.
So declared J. J. Tigert of Wash
ington, D. c., United States commits
sioner on education, before summer
students at the University of Mime
sofa in convocation in the university
armory.
$50 far, we have never sold edu-
cation to anybody except ourselves"
Mr.. Tigert declared. at is impera-
tive that we create in the United
States public sentiment really ap-
preciative of the value of education.
ever since the birth of our re-
public. statesmen and historians the
world over have declared that, if the
republic failed, its downfall would
come to pass because the people, who
are the rulers, could not be educated
"And now we have come to the
place where we must face these two
alternatives: either we must disfran-
chise all foreign-born naturalized
aliens in this country, or we must
educate them so that they may be-
come intelligent voters.
eve do a lot of boasting about our
wonderful public school system,
know. But how can you account for
this sort Of thing:
"A man, born in America and for
IL years resident of Philadelphia
almost under the shadow of Wash
lngton monument appeared at the
White House the other day and said
he wanted to see President Wilson.
Won't President Harding do?' he
was asked. .,". -. .....
"'Who is President Harding?' the
visitor asked with a blank express
sion
"He had never even heard of Presi-
dent Harding. When l was in the
army during the World War I met
boys who were born and brought up
in Ohio, right in the county where
President Harding was born, who had
never seen rilroad train until they
were drafted into the service.
GAS nation could not exist half
slave and half free, so it cannot ex-
list half illiterate and half educated
There is only one way in the world
? to make the American public appre-
clate education, according to Mr.
Tigert. That way, he declared, is to
sell it to them on money basis.
/ Teachers need professionalizing
Mr.. Tigert declared. He said that at
the National Education Association
convention he recently attended in
Boston, It was declared that only one
teacher in five had a really profes-
sional attitude toward her work.

FORMER SERVICE MEN MAY
LOSE OUT. '..'~ g.


Order have come out from the cen
trail Office of the Veterans Bureau in
Washington stating that the time for
granting certificates of injury to
those who were injured during their
service in the World War is rapidly
drawing to a close. These certif-
Gates Of injury will be granted to a
person entitled to the certificate if
the person makes application within
one year from his honorable separa-
ton from the service, or prior to
August 9, 1922, which ever date is
the later.
It is impossible to state now just
what future benefits, in. addition to
those at present available, may be
open to those who hold the certifi-
Gates of injury. The certificate is
Important enough that no ex-service
man entitled to it should neglect the
opportunity Of securing one.
Full information with regard to
these certificates can be gotten by
addressing the sub-district offices Of
the Veterans Bureau.

originality: he has merely followed in
the beaten footsteps of his predeces-
sor, Booker T. Washington. He has
never raised his voice in belligerent
note to the many insults and crimes
perpetrated against his race in this
country. He is 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
effulgence 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 I'M
qualified liberty. Imagine De Valera,
D'Annuzio, 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
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 Headers" increase.

MoTEN's LOST OPPORTUNITY

Motion had the great opportunity of
his 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
to President Harding and said: "Mr.
President of the United States, Mr..
Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Before making my set address, I
must make a protest against the Sc
gregation and humiliation of the col
ored people at these exercises dedi-
eating monument to the memory of
the Great Emancipation, and as rep
resentative of one-eighth of the peo-
pie of the United States 1 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 !
shall utter will be the words I have
just voiced. Let that go into the rec
ords as my speech"
Such a statement would have ere
ated 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 real leader and his
words would have gone laundering
down the ages. -.' -.

Tulsa's Jim Crow Labor Laws
Baltimore Herald.)
olCllIlOl0 IlcIdlu.)

Tulsa, Okla, is again in the lime
light. After wantonly and savagely
butchering a hundred or more Ne
groes, destroying their homes and
business places with fire, driving
them into the cold, herded like cat
tie, and finally attempting to rob
them Of their land by fire-limit pro-
Inhibition ordinances, its hellish prei-
udice is still unappeased.
Tulsa now attempts to regulate the
labor OF Tulsa Negroes by the pas
sage OF a jim crow ordinance forbid
ding them to work in hotels and
roomlng houses as bellmen, clerks or
elevator operators.
1t Tulsa can promulgate and en-
force an ordinance to prohibit Ne
groes from engaging in the work of
motel bellmen, rooming house clerks,
or elevator operators, it can pass or
dlnances and enforce them prohibit
ing Negroes from working at anv
calling or engaging in any labor that
white men determine that they shall
not engage in, and can be forced by
law to work at whatever labor or
calling white men determine thew
shall work in.
No law or city ordinance has been
written into the body of the laws of
any city more outrageous, and more
destructive of the liberties of the
Negroes since the passage of the
[damnable Apprenticeship Laws of
the "Black Codes" by the "Provi-
sional Government of the South i'm
mediately following the Civil War,
during the candy" Johnson regime.
1t is flying fairly boldly in the face
OF not only the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution, but the
Thirteenth as we'll.
The Negroes of Tulsa have borne
terrible burden and it is wonderful
If their spirit is not broken. They
should resist this last effort to re-
mand them to cursed slavery with
every fiber of their being, and it is
the duty of the Negroes throughout
the land to join should to shoulder
with Tulsa and test this damnable
ordinance in the courts. It is VIC
lation of the Constitution and cannot
stand. If it is allowed to stand as
law in Tulsa it will be good law in
Atlanta, Richmond, Baltimore and
wherever evil-minded white men are
in sufficient numbers to transcribe
their wills into law.

Churches and Advertising
BY THE REV. w. II. CARWARDINE-

~ N unusual development
in modern religious ac-
tivity among the churches
Of all denominations is the
recognition Of the value of
religious advertising in the
press. At the national con-
vention of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the
World at Milwaukee a
unique adjunct of that or
ganlzatlon was a department
Z devoted to the church and
the press. Facts, illustra-
tions, and statements were
presented which indicated
that the modern preacher is
keenly alive to. the impor-
lance of the daily newspaper
as an aid to "the spread of
the gospel"
N in every church for pub
- HERE should be a fund
Lefty purposes; the church
should buy space in the pa
pers and announce it's serv-
ices in the community with
the same energy as the
business man advertises his
stock" was the statement
roade at that gathering by
the Rev. J. T. Bradner Smith,
an expert in religious pub
licity and propadandist for
the big centenary movement
in the Methodist church.
The Rev. William M. Std
ger. Detroit, Mich., induced
his church to spend $1,000
for advertising. With per-
sistent advertising he soon
had a congregation large
enough to meet his advertis-
ing bill and more. Method

vertising, taught by a New

a DVERTISING is the
: = modern conception of
securing the highways and
hedges to fill the church. It
is the connecting link be-
tween the church and the
man without. The militant
church, with the use of mod
ern methods of getting men
and women within its Dor
tails by the aid of the press,
is the successful church.
The newspaper is read in
the homes of multitudes who
never cross the threshold of
a church. To reach these,
the minister. must make his
appeal through the press.
1HE Rev. Norman B.
Barr, pastor of the
Ollvet n tut e church.,
Presbyterian, in sending in
. paid advertisement to a
Chicago newspaper, had this
to say:
"Out Of appreciation of
your policy Of promoting
church going by printing Go
to Church articles in con-
nection with church adver-
tlsements, I think every
church in Chicago should
give you an ecclesiastical
paid advertisement. I am
n Il o S i n g one from my
church. In my judgment,
nothing will change the
Chicago we have into the
Chicago that most of US
want it to be but church go
ing. And nothing will help
more than such articles as
you are printing in your Go
to Church columns to induce
citizens of Chicago to be-
come what they need to be-
come for their own, their
children's and their citv's
sake;-;;,regular church-going

The state department has an
nounced a tentative plan for evacu-
alton of Santo Domingo by American
military forces. The program will be
carried out the statement said, "as
soon as it can be ascertained whether
it meets the approval of a majority
Of the Dominican people,"
A high commissioner has been ap-
pointed who will "ascertain the views

OLD SOL D|MMED
BY BR|LL|ANCY OF
new Twin SUNS
Planets $4,000 Times as
Bright as Earth'S Heat
Source Found,

Victoria, B. c. July -"Twin'
suns, So quadrillion miles from the
earth, have been discovered by DR.. J
S. Plackett, director of the Dominion
OF Canada's astro-physical observa-
tory here through the observatory
big 72-inch reflector telescope. ~
Scientists say the discovery is one
of the outstanding astronomical
achievements Of recent years.
The suns have been named Plas-
kett for their discoverer. =
DR.. Plaskett has estimated that
the suns burn at a temperature of
$4,000 degrees Fahrenheit as they
Whlrl around one another. One, the
more massive, is believed to be rs
times the bulk of our sun. The
lesser is So times heavier.
One is $4,000 times as bright as
the sun, the other $4,000 times as
bright.
Plaskett, DR.. Plaskett estimates, is
more than five times as large as any
other known heavenly body.
Reducing the figures to modern
terms the scientists pointed out that
an airplane travelling 200 miles an
hour would require 80 billion years
to travel from the earth to the newly
discovered planets. Light, travelling
at the rate Of 10000 miles a second,
requires more than 5000 years for
the passage. Il.
The announcement of the discovery
quotes Prof. Harold Jacoby Of Co
lumbia university as characterizing
it the most outstanding of recent
astronomical discoveries and as de-
claring that the measurements re-
corded by DR.. Plaskett must be ac-
cepted as most reliable.
