COMMENTS ON PRESIDENTS
SPEECH,
President Harding and Social Equality
(From The Nation, New York;

President Harding and Social Equality
(From The Nation, New York;
Find fault with the. President after
he has gone straight into Southern
territory and come out plump for the
colored mans political and economic
rights, and the necessity of giving
him an education equal to the white
mans?
Why then cavil at any single phrase
Of the President? Why not overlook
his one unfortunate utterance in Or
der to bestow upon him unqualified
praise? Because that one reference
to social equality-''m of both
races may well stand uncompromis-
ingly against every suggestion of So
cial equality like lash upon
every thoughtful colored man and off
set much of the good Mr.. Harding
did. Even in far-off Buenos Aires it
called forth protests; the national Ar
gentlne Socialist convention at once
interpreted Mr.. Harding as meaning
that the condition of 'the ten millions
Of colored population in the great re-
public will be eternally one of infe-
riority and subordination," and en-
phatically protested against it. True,
the phrase quoted sweetened the rest
of the dose for the South and saved
the President from endless coarse
abuse and fanatical denunciation as a
"nigger lover" and from the charge
of Insulting the South" Yet it
would have been far better had he
never uttered it, for by it he played
into the hands Of all who justify any
ca1sf,. or
man.
At least he should have defined just
what he meant by social equality. If
he had in mind intermarriage only, he
should, in justice to himself and to
the colored man, have said so. Unfor-
tunately the phrase covers multi
tude of sins. It is the excuse for end
less aggression and wrongdoing by
the superior race" In the final
analysis in the South social equality
invariably whittles down to the rela-
tions Of black men with white women,
and in order to prevent them multi
tudes of our white Americans in the
South honestly think themselves JUS
titled in resorting to any measures
down to torture and burning. So GER
tain are they that this must not be
tolerated that they seek to prevent
any approach to it by even forbidding
colored people the use of public libra
ries, to say nothing Of public car
riers. Hardly an hour goes by in the
life of a black adult without there
being driven in upon his conscious
ness a realization that in republic
which hypocritically boasts Of the
freedom of all it's citizens and their
equality of opportunity he bears upon
his brow the badge of shame and of
deliberately classified inferiority
So President Harding ought to have
informed us whether he meant by his
words on social equality to approve
of the jimcrow car, the denial Of all
cultural opportunities in theaters, in
concert and lecture halls to colored
people, and the unending discrimina-
ton against them in restaurants and
hotels and in practically every walk
of life. He has not even stated that
he is opposed to that precious Bit OF
Wilson Wrongdoing, the segregation
of the colored man IN the departments
at Washington. Until Mr.. HARDING

Ranchmen Chase Wolf
20 Miles to Rope Him


Miles City, Mont. and
Sol Nichols, ranchmen, discov-
cred a wolf trying to "cut OFF,
q calf from a--herd of cattle.
Recognizing the wolf as one
that had been terrorizing cattle
herds for several seasons, the
brothers took after the animal
on horseback. The wolf, 4 large
gray one, gave them q chase Of
twenty miles, but the ranchers
stuck on his trail and finally
succeeded in r0ping him. This
feat stands alone in the history
Of wolf hunting in this section.

Kalkaska, Mich.-Their two dogs
standing faithfully by their side, des-
pite the cold, Leonard and John Glide,
thirteen and nine years old, respec-
lively, were found frozen to death in
fifteen inches of snow, about six miles
west OF South Boardman. The boys,
SONS OF Conelius Glide. a farmer, had
left home with their dogs to hunt rab-
bits. They apparently lost their way
IN the snowstorm that came up late
IN the day, and, overcome with ex-
naustion, lay down to sleep, cuddling
against their dogs.

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

~~:s'FsSsS WI 'SnNSs " 1uJ'vshiSSs
From the Independent, Atlanta, Ga.)
II 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 complete
surrender to the lily-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-
GINA. 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 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 po-
itical equality as advocated at Biz
mlngham? We submit this to the
deliberate Judgment Of mankind and
ask verdict.

Called Isle Of lonorance

London.-Bardesy, little island off
the Welsh coast, near Pwllhell, has
been described as the island of igno-
rance" for it is only just recently that
men of the age of thirty-four have be-
gun to go to school. Up to three years
ago the inhabitants believed in ghosts
and fairies. Now they are to have the
services of minister of religion and
a school teacher.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1922-03-04

does speak out on these questions,
which mean more to the colored man
than anything else, which daily bend
his back, scarify his soul, and make
every educated colored mother look
upon her children and ask whether
she can justify to them their being
called into existence, he cannot have
thought through the problem nor can
he render the full service which we
believe he desires to render, which
we honor him for seeking to render.
Without in the least urging inter-
Presidents propaganda Of ''funda-
mental, eternal, and unacceptable race
differences" We have no quarrel
who urge what they call racial purity.
But the true method of control in
this matter is by a sound social pub
lie opinion and not by laws, nor by
the branding iron,- nor that slow fire
which in the Middle Ages was relied
upon to prevent the spread of Pro-
testantism. These measures are as
Ineffective as they are cruel and de-
basing.
The laws against intermarriage in
the South are the most effective pro-
moters of immortality and Of con-
cubinage and they place the black
woman at the mercy Of the white man
without redress. AS matter of fact,
statistics prove that where marriage
is permitted the amount of it is neg
hgible. We may rest assured that if
racial intermarriage is socially un-
wise and racially destructive, nature
herself will take hand and control it
without mems having to resort :, to
crime to check it. But in the last
analysis anyone who believes in in
dividual freedom and liberty must be-
lieve in the right Of every sound in
,dividual to seek his mate where he
will and it necessary to pay the price
for his deed in social sostracism to
which there is no need Of adding legal
penalties. Once more we repeat that
it racial admixture is not prevented
by the instructive Discrimination Of the
races, it will not efectually be pre-
vented by denying to one of them the
ordinary 5courtesies which individuals
earn by their conduct or deserve by
their essential humanity:
What Mr.. Harding has vet to see
is that if the colored man obtains the
economic freedom, the political free
dom, and the boon of education which
he Graves for him this whole question
of race relationship will at once adj
just itself on a far nobier and better
basis; that as long as the question of
social equality is made the excuse for
abuse, i'll treatment, and the denial of
rights sacredly guaranteed by the
Constitution it works infinite harm
to the whites who thus make Of their
republic an hypocrisy and defile their
own souls by sponsoring injustice and
wrong. There is something sadly
wrong with a racial integrity which
must be preserved in that manner.
Moreover, If there are Fundamental,
eternal, and unacceptable race differ
ences" they will take care Of the sit.
uation themselves. But whether they
do or not, no President is true to
America who does not insist that
every American citizen shall have the
freest social opportunity without bar
ners of class or race or color. and
political freedom as well.

BARKIS.

The league managers seem to be having trouble
in filling out their ticket. No encouragement has
been made as to their intention to put up a complete
ticket by naming candidates in opposition to the in
dependents who were nominated by the independ-
ents for secretary OF state and state treasurer. Per-
haps they concluded to con6ne their Efforts to the
offices whose incumbents are e~x-offic;o members Of
the Industrial commission. At any rate that is as
far as they<got at their Bismarck meeting. And one
of the nominations which they made there proved to
be a dud. Mr.. Sinkler, to whom the nomination for
attorney general was rendered, declined, respectfully
and very firmly.
The league people have known for weeks that
they intended to name candidates for these posi-
tons. Those of the inner circle have been in politics
for some time, and they have not permitted matters
to drift along all this time without considering pos
siblc candidates. They have discussed the various
possibilities and have talked over this, that and the
other man for each office. Yet, when it came to
endorsing a man for attorney general they picked
out a man who knew nothing Of their plans, and
who when endorsed refused point blank.
Isn't it reasonable to suppose that men who had
any expectation of being able to elect a candidate
would take some steps to find out whether or not
they had a real candidate before making public an
nounceuent of his selection?
In the meantime the league might run an ad

WHERE RIGHTS ARE LIMITED.

The owners of two adjoining farms got into a
disagreement. A stream flowed through the two
farms. Smith, lower down the stream, built a dam
across a narrow gorge, the effect Of which was to
food valuable lands belonging to Jones. Jones re-
sponded by cutting into the stream still father up
and ~diverting it entirely from it's course, depriving
Smith of water for his stock. Smith maintained that
he was with Ibis rights in building a dam on his
own land. Jones insisted that he had a right to cut
a ditch OH his.
But it appeared that aside from the damage
which the two men did each other, although they
had not stepped off their own property, both. had
violated the rights Of ether people. Smiths dam
had flooded the public highway at one spot, and
Jones ditch had washed it out at another.
1t didn't happen in just that way, but it might
have done. And Unless we recognized the principle
that the public has rights which sometime restrict
the right of the individual to do as he pleases, oven
with and upon his own property, we should be hav-
ing incidents Of that sort all the time, and any two
quarrelsorne neighbors could infict untold damage
on their neighbors, and there would Be no redress.
The principle that the public has inviolable
rights applies in the dan1ming or diversion of a
stream, in the mining of coal, and in the operation
Of a railroad. When those rights are jeopardized it
is the business Of the government to step in and set
matters to rights, whether the offenders be coal
nagnates, coal miners, railroad managers, section
hands or %shopmen.
