An Open Letter
MY dear Business Man:

Now IS the time to inspire and be inspired with
.'e thought that prosperity is for the ask

0ne curriculum OF the business man, when conditions
are as they Brain and Drawn iudicousv COM
phed are going to win Brain to conceive sue
cesstul business plans and Drawn to stick at them
until they prove their worth
The skyrockets that shot SO high during the
PERIOD OF imitation, attendant upon the war have
dashed TO earth one by one with such force that thew
are buried in oblivion There will be no fireworks
IN the current business period. The wise man will
look tor none He will be content to work for lust
reward and Will be educated to the idea that where
there is no work, there will be reward
To nstill this truth in the minds of the GREAT
American public Rotary created and launched it's
widespread poster campaign which is appearing on
thousands OF bllboards at the present time The
press OF the country has become Rotarys staunch a
IN this crusade for prosperity, which we know is
there, but which must be wooed and won with com
nonsense and zeal.
Rotary would be greatly indebted to YOU. Mr.
business Man, 1t, when you have acquired faith in
our new prosperity you would inspire those with
whom you come in business contact Be roo+er
and create rooters for 1922 Prosperity-it is vour

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES.

President Harding and Secretary
Hughes ''have been moved by COM
plants from Americans in the near
east and have demanded equal OPP
portunities for Americans in Persia
and Mesopotania. It seems that
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 ia
every way right here in America.
The Presidents speeches in Alabama
and Georgia were curses upon pa
troitic Americans and double curses
because some lickspittle "leaders"
attempted to condone them.

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. .
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 tribute
to the cause for which THE APPEAL
has fought for nearly forty years
rather than a personal compliment.

CURIOSITY CAUSES COMPLAINT.

The daily papers are publishing a
story of woman in New York whose
husband was something like old Blue
Beard, in that he had closet in his
house, which he kept locked and gave
his wife strict orders to>keep out Of it.
Of course this made her all the
more anxious to learn what was in
that closet. So when her husband
went away on a trip year ago her
curiosity got the better Of her, and
she opened the closet. She found
there group photograph Of her hus-
bands family and discovered he was
colored. Ye Gods and little fishes!
this was terrible, so, NOW, she is
seeking an annulment Of their mar
riage. What we would like to know
is why did she wait a year after dis
covery before instituting proceedings
for divorce? He certainly must have
looked pretty good to- her when she
married him fourteen years ago -anc
during the period she lived with him
up to the time Of her discovery. Her
discovery has not changed him one
bit, he is the same man she promised
to love, honor and obey and if she
had kept her promise might be living
happily with the man of her choice.

successful in Republican politics in

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 a white man and in
turn was shot by white mob. He
was taken to 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 crisp. The charged re-
mains were then returned to the hos

RAPs AMERICAN CHRISTIANS ~

In a recent interview a Japanese
gentleman walloped the American
Christian hypocrites in these words
and hits the nail on the head:
II am Christian, but I cannot
reconcile the rules which Christianity
taught me with American practices.
Americans are overly suspicious and
narrow hearted. Our nation is sup
posedly anti-Christian, but we have
broader hearts.
american missionaries teach us
that all people are equal, so we well
come Americans, let you travel
throughout Japan unmolested, buy
engage in business, and
give you equal rights with our own
people when you are in Japan. You
do not practice in America what your
teach us we must do, if
we want to be Christians. Even the
missionaries do not practice what
they preach when they return to
America" z....--. - -

THEY ARE FULL OF MooNsHINE

THEY ARE FULL OF MOoNSHlNE
Of all the fool things that we have
heard Of lately, comes from the be-
nighted state of South Carolina,
where one J. Walter Moon, a mem
Der Of the state legislature, has in
troduced bill in that august body,
which is intended to prohibit the
showing of pictures in colored motion
picture houses that contain the faces
Of white women. He states that it
is a crime to have colored men and
women gazing at faces of white
women on the screen, and so would
make drastic law compelling col
ored motion picture houses to show
pictures of colored people only. And,
it seems, that majority of the mem
bers of the House are as full Of
"moonshine" as Moon himself, for
they actually took the measure seri-
ously enough as to pass it. What
the asinine color prejudice of the
average Southerner will not cause
him to do is beyond our ken. -.
We understand that the bill now
awaits action in the South Carolina
senate. If made into law. it will
represent one of the most remarkable
precedents ever established even in
southern law-making bodies.

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 a white woman with a.
club breaking her skull. A doctor
diagnosed his case as denentia prae-
cox and he was committed to the
hospital for treatment.

e | am native born here and feel what
l believe tQ.be a common interest with
public spirited citizens who love their
city. have never lived elsewhere,
and my social and business interests
are wholly bound up in St. Paul.
AS it's own citizens must form it's
government, offer my candidacy in
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

erendum which followed. l am unre-
servedly with my associates and for
the declaration of principles adopted
by the League February 10.
Events and 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 yet better place
to live in-that improvements should
be made for enhancement of it's pub
lie services, Of it's 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-
ment of such costs in taxation.

Protest always pays. For some
time the people of India have been
making "silent protest" against the
many iEjustices from which they suf-
fer and now it seems that results are
about to be: achieved. The governs
ment has introduced several bills for
the repeal of nearly all Of the repres-
sive and restrictive laws now on the
statute books.
And because they have protested,
England will give independence to
the Egyptians. Down South, Motion
ct al are lauding the brutal people
who have stolen the rights of the col
ored people and restricted them to a
Jlmcrow place in the social scheme.
