HARDING GETS ANOTHER RAP.

At the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People, held in New
York last week, Charles Edward Rus
sell, orator and author welcomed the
advent of the ''new Negro" who, he
declared, was ready to stand up for
his rights. He also ridiculed Presi-
dent Harding's assertion that there
was an impossible gulf" between col
ored and white people in the United
States and advocated that, before at
tempting to lead the world to disar-
mament, the United States disarm
the lyncher within her own borders.
And so say we all!
Here is one paragraph from Mr..
Russells speech: 81 must frankly
say to the gentleman who said that,
President Harding said Mr.. Russell,
that you don't know what you're
talking about. If this great gulf YOU
speak OF between-the races which YOU
speak OF exists, what does it look
like? Have you photograph of it ?
There is no such gulf, and the only
limit to the development of YOU COL
ored people is the one YOU place vonr-
selves"

BRisBANE's POISON GAS,

Arthur Brisbane, who contributes a
column headed "Today" to the Hearst
newspapers, is considered a great
writer, but THE APPEAL has no.
ticed for years that he has great bit
terness against colored people in his
writings. Here is some of his latest
dope: -.-
President Harding told the colored
men and women in the South that it
was mistake for them to talk about
"social equality" said he: "This is a
question of recognizing a fundamen-
tai, eternal and unacceptable differ
ence."
That earnest young Socialist plu-
tocrat, Charles E. Russell, rebukes
President Harding and wants to
know what PROOF there is of a diff
ference between Negro and white
races. -..- ~
"Show me-" says he. In any nat
ural history museum the polite at
tendant will "show him." He will
lead Mr.. Russell to row of skulls,
and say, "This is a Negro of one
type; this is Negro of another.
This is white man."
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1922-02-11

the press. There has been a very
strong tendency of late in that direc-
ton, and am sure it is essential that
such tendency should be checked.
am reminded of Voltaire's statement,
I wholly disapprove what you say,
but I will defend with my life your
right to say it,
There are other ways of removing
the race track gambling evil than
through the indirect method of pro-
hibiting the transmission of news
thereof through the mails. There are
probably certain crimes committed
for the sole purpose of achieving no.
toriety for the criminal through press
account of his exploits. But that does
not mean that newspapers cannot pub
lish news story of the incident.
Crime is sought to be checked through
laws directed at the perpetrator.
The racing evil can be curbed in a
similar direct fashion. The people
are entitled to the news of the coun-
try, whether it is good or bad, and to
curtail the freedom Of the press in
giving it to them, strikes at the very
root of popular government.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1922-02-11
Challenging Mr.. Brisbane's CHALLENGE

Sir: Mr.. Brisbane in his "Today"
takes issue with Charles E. Russell
for challenging President Harding
and like thinkers to show him proof
that Fundamental, eternal and ines
capable differences" exist between the
black and white races. Mr.. Brisbane
is forceful, original and brilliant; but
a lightning bug is also brilliant. Un-
IKE your other writers, manifestly
fair, he is given to pronounced racial
prejudice, the appointed prophet
warning the white race to preserve
Itself while there is yet time. The
one proof he submits to Mr.. Russell
OF black inferiority is one of differ
ence in skull contour. Far greater
differences are to be found as relates
to skull contour in each race than
between any two races; the same is
true of brain weight, convolutions
and, in fact, a majority of physical
and biological characteristics which
are commonly taken by the layman as
peculiar to given race.
like to read Mr.. Brisbane's
column, but he should be made aware
that men of science have often had
occasion to laugh at his efforts to
parade as scientific. A little reading
of Thomas "Source Book for Social
Origins" and Boas' "Mind of PRINT
tive Man" would stand Mr.. Brisbane
il good stead.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

One hundred and thirteen years ago
tomorrow, Abraham Lincoln was born
into this world.
No other American, and very few
men of any nation or period have en-.
tered so intimately into the personal
experience of millions sas Abraham
Lincoln. The words of him who
never had year in school are used
in teaching college students the high
est possibilities of language. His
coined phrases are worn smooth and
dateless in current speech. But more
than that, his habit of thought has
guided the thinking of errand boy and
President His faith quickens the
faith of US all. ~.
Abraham Lincoln was not a spec
ulative philosopher, an originator of
systems Of thought. But he was one
of the greatest opponents and de-
tenders Of truth in it's applications
and illustrations in human experience
that the world has ever seen. His life
and words-which are inseparable-
perfectly teach the balance between
thought and act, principle and prac-
tice, general truth and particular
fact.
AS the years roll by he rises higher
and higher in the estimation of those
he left behind.
Would to God that we had more
Lincolns in these troublous times.

cRINGING AWAkENS CONTEMPT.

We cannot win by blinking at facts
or by ignoring fundamental princi-
Piles. 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 acknowledgements 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
