Tuskegee's Trustee
Ch arm an Dis
! agrees With Birth
right" Author

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, April 81
"Few Negroes in real life have blum
dered as Peter Siner did" said William
G. Wilcox, chairman of the board of
trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute, in a recent letter
to T. S. Stribling, the author of the
novel "Birthright," which ran serially
in the Century Magazine and now ap-
pears in book form. Mr.. Willcox's let
ter to Mr.. Stribling is as follows:
1 have just read the "Birthright'
with much interest and 1 am tempted
to ask if you had any definite object
in writing it.
The description of conditions at
"Niggertown" is Il vivid picture of the
aftermath of slavery. 1t is, as | sup
pose you intended description of
conditions which existed in the worst
sections of the South and which con-
fronted anyone who sought to educate
or improve the Negro people. Unfor-
tunately such conditions are not con-
fined to any race or section and it
would not be difficult to find similar
pictures among the white immigrants
and factory operators in the North
Such pictures do not indicate the char
acter of capacity of the race as a.whole
but rather the morbid conditions re-
sulting from the environment of Il par
tlcular group.
Peter Siner represents weak man
who has been given IL college course
without any solid foundation either in
education or in moral character. His
dismal failure furnishes strong en-
dorsement of Booker WashingtOn's the
ory that Negro education must begin
with fundamental training of the hand,
the mind and the character and build
from the ground up. Few Negroes in
real life have blundered as Peter did
while thousands trained at Tuskegee
and other schools are today making
good in all sections of the country.
The general effect of the book seems
to me to discourage the effort to edu-
cate and elevate the Negro race.
cannot believe this to be your inten-
lion and l am sure that the facts do
not at all warrant any such dishearten-
ing picture.

SOCIAL EQUALITY A CH|MERA

But, mentioning seduction, does
this commenter realize that the al
legged practice to which he alludes
has had more to do with encourag ging
the tendency toward race equality
socially than any other factor, good
or bad? The more white blood that
is injected into the veins of the Ne
gro race, the more dissatisfied do the
results of this infusion become with
their sociaI --atuS. 1t is the mulatto
who is the most urgent agitator, as
a rule, along the line so many of his
brothers are misguidedly following.
This fact puts seduction without the
pale of argument.
Equality in economics and educa-
ton can be attained without social
equality, and the Negro race will
be more respected the longer it re-
tains its consaguineous solidarity
and it's individuality. That is what
President Harding meant by ''prfde
of race" The Negro should be just
as proud to retain his blood uncon-
taminated by the corpuscles of
white, yellow, brown or red races.
as is the white man to keep his invio-
late. Mixed blood, as is seen every
day, engenders strife and discomfort
ment.
81 would accept that a black man
cannot be a white man." said Presi-
dent Harding in his Birmingham ad-
dress to both white and colored citi-
zens, "and that he does not need and
should not aspire to be as much like
white man as possible, in order to
accomplish the best that is possible
for him. He should seek to be, and
should be encouraged to be, the best
possible black man, and not the best
possible imitation of white man" :"
Imitation, which is said to be the
sincerest flattery, is not what the Ne
gro should practice. He should not
flatter the white man. He should
flatter himself. And to do that, he
must strike out Independently for the
same goal in economic and educa-
tional endeavor, and attain it
through his own initiative, his own
resourcefulness and his own ability.
He then will be commended for his
achievements, and because he is a
Negro and succeeded, will make his
accomplishments greater. He should
lay aside any desire for social equal
ity, for the more he aspires to that
plane, the more is his efficiency les
sened because of his discomfort. The
Negro should bring himself to under
stand that, If there ever is such a
status experienced by his people, CEN
turies will have elapsed before the
general racial complexion of Ameri-
can citizens is indicative of the ac-
knowledged mixture of white and
black blood.-Constructo

ELAINE RIOTERS FACE TRIAL
SECOND TIME.

Little Rock, Ark, April 20.-Twice
condemned to death by Phillips county
courts and granted new trials by the
Supreme Court, five men charged with
killing white man in the celebrated
elaine riots will facet rial again in the
next session of the court.
The last new trial was granted on
the ground that no colored men were
summoned for jury service. The al
legged riot resulted from the desire of
colored farmers in the section to free
themselves from ponage conditions.

avenue, New York, today announced
the receipt of q statement from Rev.
b. n. Henningham, beaten in the town
of Winder, Georgia, on charge of

statement has been forwarded to the
British ambassador in Washington, Sir
Auckland Geddes, as Henningham is
a citizen of the British West Indies !;
also to the United States Departments

ATTACK made upon Rev. B. N. Hen
ningham, pastor of Bushes Chapel, A.
NJ. E. Zion Church, located at Winder,
Ga, by twelve or fourteen masked
white men.
'They came to a colOred mans home
by the name of Oscar Bergamy, where
1, Rev. b. N. Henningham, was giving
his elementary training, about 8 o'clock
p. M, March 9th, 1922, seized me with
out moments warming; dragged me
from the house bare-headed and placed
me in an automobile and drove me
about ten miles toward Gainesville,
Ga. While on the way 1 asked them
what had done to be punished. They
answered me by holding pistol on me
and slapping me in the face, stating,
we will tell you what you have done.
Your damn bishop came here preach
ing Catholicism and got away before
we could get him. Then he sent you
here with your Catholic doctrine and
educating these damn Negroes, making
them worse. When we get through
with you your bishop and no one else
will come here preaching that damn
Catholic stuff.
"When they reached about the ten
mile point they took me out of the au
tomobile and carried me into the
woods, stripped me of my pants, placed
me over log and beat me with some
thing like leather strop."

A Negro to France
tFrom the New York Globe.)

(From the New York Globe.)
We have heard much in recent years
of the young American intellectual who
is a voluntary expatriate because he
so much more to his taste than shirt
sleeved, coarse, and pioneering Amer
lea. In L'Opinion, Paris, letter was
published the other day from one of
these young men, who, it must be con-
fessed, is a somewhat unusual speci-
men. His name is NOrval Barksdale,
he comes from Kansas CitT, and he is
Il Negro. The chief attraction of
France for him is the failure to draw
the color line. His letter Gas translat-
ed by the Living Age, Boston) says in
part:
people of France, pause a moment
TO hear the words of Il young man-an
American by birth, but a Negro by
race, but Frenchman by choice. -. :.
am convinced that the colored peo-
pies are to find their salvation in
French civilization rather than in Ger
man kulture-that is to say, the kul-
ture of the Germans, the English and
the Americans.
'French civilization produced Tous-
saint, LOuverture, Alexander Dumas,
Rene Maran, and a host of other
French writer's and scholars who had
cOlored blood in their veins. Among
the Teutonic nations men of colored
blood, no matter how gifted and culti-
waited, encounter nothing but obstacles
and discouragements. l re-
gret the Negro of France. He knows
true liberty; he knows what it is to
live"
found in France the quality of treat
ment he can never dream to get in the
United States. During the war there
We're grave apprehensiOns in some quar-
ters lest our Negro troops, returning
home after being treated by the French
exactly as though they We're white,
should resent violently the American
attitude. That these fears proved
groundless is due to the good sense of
the colored soldiers, and not to any
alteration of white Americas point of
view.
IT is the fashion to say that France
treats black men as she does because
she has never had to live in close con-
tact with n large colored population.
This situation is being modified at
least to degree. France calls to the
colors about 25OOOO Negro soldiers
each year according to recent reports.
The same number are annually re-
leased from service, and of these APP
proximately $4,000 remain in France.
1t will he interesting to see whether,
as this process goes on through the
marriage of these soldiers TO French
women numerous half-breeds appear,
the French attitude of tolerance gives
way TO feeling more like our own. In
that case Mr.. Barksdale will have TO
move on to some other country where
numbers of his race are still rare
enough or Independent enough to re-
ceive courteous treatment.
The Colorado statesman., 1922-04-29
(By Cecil Morrison Baskett.)

THE NEGRO with foresight is
not seeking social equality. He
- realizes that, if such a social
state ever obtains, American thought
will have to go through great trans
formation, and that the white race
in this country will have received
baptism of tolerance that would
transcend any recorded conversion in
the history of the world. The Ne
gro with vision is not found among
those of his race, who are clamoring
loudly for that thing which is Chi
merical, but is content with striving
for what is far more beneficial-eco-
nomic and educational equality,
which are nearer at hand and prac-
tically within his reach. If social
equality is the goal that the shouters
are after, they are, indeed, going the
wrong way about it, their methods
but instilling deeper the inherent
prejudice against such condition.
The black race has made great pro-
gress, and has achieved wonderful
advancement in an extremely short
period, the way time goes. but it can
not point to any rung of the ladder
of progression that was reached IN
haste and without extended effort,
or through a demonstration of hys-
terra, or by Illogical reasoning or
veiled threat of action. The Negros
advancement has been due to his con-
tinuous effort to improve himself and,
through his performance, soften the
prejudice of the white man, from
whom his demeanor elected cooper
alton in more or less measure. IL
should be remembered that those Ne
groes who have gained distinction,
have been frank in their relations
with the white man, and asked moth
ing more than that they be accorded
that degree of respect and apprecia-
ton which their highly developed
faculties commanded.
In his Birmingham speech in oc-
tober, President Harding advocated
broader political, economic and edu-
cational advantages, based, as he put
it, on a pride of race, but never on
an inspiration of social equality. His
enunciation of views on that occasion
has been warmly applauded, and al
so vehemently criticised, One of his
severest critics dwelt entirely upon
the social equality stand the Presl-
dent took, and overlooked the other
good thoughts expressed, and IN MS
comment it was shown that the
writer had his moral vision obscured.
Belonging to that class that wants
everything, and everything at once.
his perception was blurred by his
hysteria.
Unfortunately, this critic dragged
in the weather-beaten argument Oh
the seduction of the women OF MS
race by white men, as reason for
intermarriage of whites and blacks.
and argued that the amalgamation
of the races was the relief for this
existing condition-if it does exist.
This writer, who belongs to the Dla-
tant class of social equality advo-
Gates, knows, or should know, that
seduction is prevalent among all
races. and that the white man does
not go outside of his race to employ
his heinous wiles as much as he stays
within. The degraded white man Is
no more jealous in his desire to de-
file negresses, than is the depraved
black man to corrupt the chastity OF
white women. Seduction is entirely
foreign to the subject.
