Now is the time to write or tele-

committee and ask them to support
the bill. It is especially important
that the people of Minnesota flood

CRlNGING AWAkENs CONTEMPT

We cannot win by blinking at facts
or by ignoring fundamental princi-
pies. Editor J. @. Adams of the ST.
PAUL APPEAL is sound to the core
and we shall all have to accept his
kind Of leadership if we expect to at
tain our full stature and status under
the American Constitution. Cringing
may be comfortable for the time be-
ing put it is mighty humiliating for
all the time thereafter and it awakens
contempt for us as it should do in
the minds and hearts of our adver-
saries. IL
Editor Adams points the way,
whether we accept his advice or not
and sooner or later he will blaze the
way to our financial, Industrial and
political enfranchisement in this
country where none will dare modest
us or make US afraid. Wise colored
leaders will take notice and govern
themselves accordingly. -
The foregoing from The Planet of
Richmond, Va, edited by Hon. John
Mitchell, Jr., who recently polled
10000 votes as candidate for gov
ernor of the state, is pleasing to the
editor but we accept it as a tribute
to the cause for which THE APPEAL
has fought for nearly forty years
rather than personal compliment.

am native born here and feel what

are wholly bound up in St. Paul.
AS its own citizens must form it's

the spirit of that common interest
and in trust that my fellow citizens
might regard me worthy of a larger
sphere of public activity.
Together with others I have been
selected for nomination by the Work
ing Peoples Political League at it's
convention of January IA and the ref
erendum which followed. I am unre-
servedly with my associates and for
the declaration Of principles adopted
by the League February IS.
Events and a sense Of public duty
have made a place for me in the
city's civic life, with my acquiescence
rather than my seeking, and with no
dedication to the requisites of that
position.
Government should reflect the wish
of the citizens, and opportunity should
be given for free expression of the
popular will; and earnest effort should
be made for an honest and practical
Interpretation of that will.
I believe the governments para
mount duty is to it's people, that their
well-being and integrity as self-sup-
porting citizens may be best con-
served.
I believe in a progress for the city
that will make it a yet better place
to live in-that improvements should
be made for enhancement of it's pub
lie services, of its schools and play
spaces, primarily for the greater COM
fort and better service to that largest
class of citizens who are mostly de-
pendent on these facilities. I believe
these accomplishments should be
aimed with reasonable regard for
costs, and in the equitable apportion-
nent of such costs in taxation.
l believe in the impartial and effec-
tive enforcement of the law.
If elected pledge my best efforts
in the furtherance of these profess
sions.

Americans are overly suspicious ana

those who kick get at least some of
the things they complain about. And
the President would sit up and take
notice if the colored people kicked
hard enough and in unison.
While the administration is quick
to come to the aid of "Americans
abroad" it does not hesitate to curse
Americans at home" Colored
Americans have been jimcrowed in

THERE is A Difference.

The "jimcrow negroes" who are
continually repeating ''the North is
no better than the South know they
are lying when they utter such rot.
The oppression of the colored people
is ten thousandfold greater in the
South than in the North. Ninety per
cent of the lynching occurs in the
South, and ALL of the disfranchise-
ment and jimcrow laws.
A little instance which is illuminat-
ing. A colored man was arrested in
Chicago last week charged with hav-
ing assaulted white woman with a
club, breaking her skull. A doctor
diagnosed his case as dementia prae-
cox and he was committed to the
psycopathic hospital for treatment.
What would have happened in Geor-
gia? Well this is what did happen
in Georgia last summer even when no
white woman was involved. A col
Ored man shot white man and in
turn was shot by white mob. He
was taken to a hospital where he died
shortly after. About midnight the
white mob went to the hospital to
get the wounded colored man and
lynch him. Exasperated at finding
that he was dead, the mob broke into
the dead room, got the corpse, car
ried it to the outskirts Of the city and
burned it to a crisp. The charged re-
mains were then returned to the hos
pital. This happened in the city Of
Augusta, Ga, in the Year of Our
Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty
