jim GROW LEADERS.

We Hdu III recent issue SVmpO-
SUM OF views of colored editors in
various parts Of the country on the
speeches of President Harding in Biz
mlngham, Ala, and Atlanta, Ga.
One of the strongest of these is an
editorial from the Richmond w.. }
Planet, by that fearless Journalist
1ohn Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the
desire of President Harding to have
more NEGRO" leaders developed The
Planet says: esq.,
IHE SOUTH is FULL OF THIS
KIND OF LEADERS. DIR. BOOK
ER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS
PART IN DEVELOPING THIS
KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LAT
Err YEARS HE REALIZED THAT
HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE
EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE
PRINCIPLES OF HOOD,
WITHOUT WHICH NO RACE CAN
RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
This is a strong statement vet it is
absolutely true. No single thing in
the history Of the colored people in
the United States has done 50 much
to prevent the full attainment of citi-
zensf1lp as that speech of Booker
washington delivered in Atlanta. Ga
in 1895. --...
Since then the descent to hell has
been swift and sure and the denths
were sounded when the other day,
Warren G. Harding, President of the
United States, stood by the side of
the Grady monument in Atlanta, pro-
nounced eulogy on Henry w.
Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and
lnsldlous enemy Of the colored people
that the country has produced, de-
clared that the race question must be
settled by the segregation of Ameri-
can citizens.
Lured on by the enthusiastic recen-
ton by the South of the B. Washing
ton speech and the white mans
good negro" pat on the shoulder, the
Jlmcrow leaders, tribe has increased
so enormously that it is now a men,
ace to be reckoned with in every COM
munity in which there are a humid red
colored men. q"
Before he died Booker WASHINGTON
repented in bitterness what he had
done and longed for life to wash out
his unwise course but it was too late
Although it may be news to many, it
is fact that after his death an ar
tlcle, written by him, was printed in
a leading magazine, in which he re,
pudlated segregation which he had sc
long championed.
No greater calamity could befal]
the colored people than the harvest
ing of new crop of "jimcrow negro
leaders,"

WHO Is He?

The press. dispatches say that the
President has picked NEGRO" to be
Recorder of Deeds for the District of
Columbia. THE APPEAL has never
heard of the man who it is said to
have been selected. Who is he? Has
he been selected, for the reason that
like all Of the other colored men who
have been given places under the
present regime, he will head a JIM
crow office? Will the office of Re-
corder of Deeds be a segregated
place? The colored people who sup
ported Harding have right tc
know. And the colored people ought
to rise in their might, if they have
any, and protest against any more
jimcroW business.

THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.

Postmaster General Hays, shortly
before signing his half million dollar
contract with the movie moguls, came
out strongly against the attempt in
some quarters to prohibit by law the
publication of racing news The
movement had gained such Roadway
that it's friends succeeded in attach
ing rider to. bill pending in the
House of Representative SO that
racing news would be prohibited

my opinion, than to add this addi-
tional curtailment Of the freedom of

Mr.. Harding Down South.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The colored man, according to Mr.,
Harding in his Birmingham speech.
SHOULD seek to be the best possible
black man, and not the best possible
imitation Of the white man." This is
the Harding standard for the race.
We admit that in many respects the
white man is a poor model for imi-
tation, as in lynching, discriminatory
practices against his friends and his
arrogant assertion Of superiority by
birth and color, but why does not Mr..
Harding advise us to become the best
possible men, and forget distinctions
on both sides apart from merit? OF
course, we know how hard it is to be
logical and at the same time avoid
offending the South while recipient
of it's hospitality, but it does seem
amusing, as well as pathetic, that in
the same speech he says: s'The one
thing We must sedulously avoid is the
development Of group or class organ
izations in this country" Gee, but it
is hard to stradd1e!

A 5-year-old child can be taught the
difference. And to change the skull
except by interbreeding, which is not
desired, would take many thousands
Of years.
To lift up the bone of a forehead,
making it half an inch nearer to the
perpendicular, would take 10000 years
at least. There is the "show me" an
swer, most puzzling to those that
would LIKE equality, but that don't
want to deceive themselves.
A great naturalist said, 'The diff
ference between a low type Of Afri-
can savage and a highly developed
white man is greater than the differ
ence between that savage and blade
of grass" That, unfortunately, is
true, and intelligent Charles E. Rus
sell knows it.
Let us not deceive ourselves or
others, even in the noble cause of
brotherly love. Those that are de-
'SNA'SA3 III 1AldCGCI llOW hluu1Y, lose
their way.
The bunk about the African savage
and a blade of grass seems to be "a
favorite quotation of Mr.. Brisbane for
he has used it at least half dozen
times a year for the last ten years.
Other great naturalists have said that
there are no fundamental differences
between the white and black races
and the Christ has said that of one
blood were created all nations. The
colored people in America are not
African savages and probably half Of
the so-called white people in the
United States have more or less Ne
gro blood in their veins. President
Garfield termed Alexander Hamilton
"the greatest man who ever trod
American soil,' and yet it has been
proved that Hamilton had Negro
blood in his veins.

Grassland lost son who fell slight
ing for democracy in France. and Il
is poor reward for the father to
be given segregated bureau. It is
also said that he was an effective
speaker in the last campaign. in
which it was given out that the Re-
publican party would abolish segre-
cation in the departments at Wash
lngton. If these things are true
Grassland deserves better treatment
at the hands of the victors, and he
also should have refused the appoint
ment as undemocratic and demanded
the same treatment as is given to
other groups of American citizens.
One Lasker, a Jew, was made head
of the u. S. Shipping Board. Repre-
sentatlves of other racial groups have
been given places, but not in segre-
gated bureaus. No President of the
United States would dare offer a Jew
place as the head of a segregated
Jewish bureau. There is no such
place and never will be. Only color
ed people are segregated by this al
legged democracy.
Some people may think that the
'"speciap appointments which have
been handed out by the present Re-
publican administration are forward
movements, but they are really nails
in the coffin of democracy and are
dangerous to the social and political
status of the colored people.
The Administration oug ht to cut
out these Especial" jobs, eliminate
segregation which was promised in
the campaign, and if colored men are
to have appointments let them be
on level with those given to other
groups of American citizens.
Better no places at all than those
which lower the status of the race
and automatically make their holders
defenders Of segregation.

One OF the greast victories of right
over color prejudice has just been
won in Louisiana in the case of Miss
Lille Taylor, who has legally secured
absolute right to property valued at
over $29,O00,000 to which she is
heiress. Every effort, that white men
could conjure up, was made to wrest
the property from her but she finally
won and now is, probably, one Of the

A GOOD VIEWPOINT.

The following under the heading,
The Colored Mans Viewpoint" is
from the Chicago Tribune:
l desire to compliment you upon
the fact that you have taken up the
practice of using colored man or col
ored woman instead Of Negro or Me-
gress. This is attested by an article
which appeared on the front page of
Wednesdays Tribune and another in
this mornings Tribune.
have not at all forgotten that your
paper at one time graciously agreed
to capitalize The word Negro. AL
though the word Negro is a term
which some persons of color dislike,
yet it was thought a half loaf was
better than none at all, and so we
contented ourselves with the capitali-
cation. We cannot commend too high
tly your use of the word colored in
the place of Negro and are hoping
that the substitute will be both gen
eral and permanent.

gro as racial designation. Probably
no one thing has contributed so much
to the contempt in which colored peo-
pie are held than the use Of the word
Negro in describing the colored peo-
pie Of the United States. And it's a
lie. The colored people are not Ne
groes. The are, and they ought to
proclaim themselves, AMERICANS.
