WALLER AGAINST "NEGRo."
Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Cause.
Mental and Physical Segregation.

Some time ago the following letter
was printed in the New York News.
1t is just as true now as when it was
first printed.
Sir: I cannot too heartily congra-
tulate you on a recent editorial dis
couraging the use of the word negro"
There is no greater delight enjoyed by
the white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
ize that it is the most potential factor
at work at the present to bring about
both a physical and mental segrega-
ton of the people of color. It's use is
on the increase only because our
speakers and writer's, especially De
Bots and Washington felt that its re-
petition, ad nauseam, is necessary to
retain the good will of the masses.
The term negro" is not only absurd
ly inaccurate as applied to millions Of
colored people, but it is also alarm
ingly Injurious for the following rea-
sons: ....,.<

MAY RUN OR RUIN THE WORLD
Scientist Explains the Force That
Might Result From the Liber-
alton Of an Atom.

London.-By liberation of the atom
man may some day control force
which will perform the entire work of
the world, but If It gets beyond his
control it may blow the earth and all
Its inhabitants to pieces, Doctor Ash
ton Of Cambridge declared in lActure
before the British association. The
chances Of such catastrophe are prac-
tically negligible, he explained.
professor Rutherford succeeded In
arranging a collision between the Gen.
trail portions Of two atoms. The result
was the transmutation of the atoms
into entirely different forms Of matter.
'The possibility Of such transmuta-
ton on any scale Is Of enormous i'm
portance. If the amount Of hydrogen
which goes to constitute a tablespoon
full Of water were Transmitted into
helium, the energy liberated would be
10000 kilowatt hours-one-seventh of
the total amount Of electricity used in
London in a day for lighting and pow
or purposes.
1.-The possibility has been discussed,
that this energy, when first liberated,
would be out Of human control. In
that case, If all the hydrogen on earth
were detonated into space, the success
full experiment would be published
throughout the entire universe as the
birth Of new star. The probability
Of this catastrophe Is practically neg
ligible"

During 1922 a total of 1876 men
were given employment by THE
HELPERS, an unassuming social
service organization.
Now when the total number of ap-
plicants-over 400-is considered,
1876 placements does not seem much
to boast of. But when the nature of
THE HELPERS organization is con-
sidered, the figure becomes signifi-
cant.
THE HELPERS are a relatively
unorganized, absolutely unsalaried
group of men who help other people
along just for the good of the race
in general. The helping business is
the side line of a post Office clerk,
a city hall clerk, and barber. All
that they ask in return for their
services is that the applicant help
the next man. ~.
This is real industrial social serv-
ice and cannot be commended too
highly. May 1928 bring new joys
of service to THE HELPERS and
to the community more widespread
spirit Of helping along.

LIKE The COWS TAIL
Always behind.

Always behind.
That is the schedule of the bust
ness and social affairs Of this race of
ours. Why?
Why must church services be so
long in getting under way? Why
must church entertainments be an
hour late in starting? Why do bust
ness and professional men arrive at
their Offices at 10 A. M. instead of
9-and get back at 2:15 instead of
l o'clock? Why does everyone take
it for granted that meetings, confer
ences, appointments and social func-
tons must never be at the time set
1t is foolish, silly, money-wasting
habit to be late for appointments and
to begin the business day in the mid
die of the forenoon. It is lazy, in
dolent, energy-sapping habit to trot
to entertainments and social functions
hours late.
Let's stop!
Lists do away with this easy, toler-
ant ineficiency! Let our ministers,
business and professional men punch
the time clock, fguratively speaking,
like the factory laborer. Let our en-
tertainers and social leaders shake off
the lethargy and climb out Of the
hour late" rut.
Let's be on time in 1928!

We OFFER FOR 1929

Into the thirty-ninth year of it's
life THE APPEAL plans to give it's
readers and the community greater
and better service than ever before.
There will be more news, both local
and foreign, than ever beforehand it
will be fresh every week. AS soon
as necessary arrangements with
news agencies can be completed, ad-
ver.isements will be removed from
the front page. The editor, with ca
pable assistants will have charge of
the news columns and the editorial
page Editorials will be written by
men thoroughly conversant with cur
rent events.
THE APPEALS policy of mini
MIXING crime and sensational news
will be continued. The editor will
strive to make the paper a medium
of information on questions of the
day, as they affect the race, and a
stimulus to thought.
AS in the days of its founder and
veteran editor, THE APPEAL still
will cry out for justice and fair play
for the colored American.
With these aims for 1923 we begin
the new year, confident that no organ
whose first aim is service to the race
and the community can fail of sup
port.

In the case of the Ku Klux Khan
The warning issued by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Coiored People three years ago is
now being justified by events
throughout the country and especially

,iation initiated the campaign of pub
lefty with which the Khan is now be-
ng fought by the New York World,

other publications. During the year
1922 we continued the campaign of
publicity against the Khan.
Conclusion
Beyond these concrete achieve
nents the National Association for
he Advancement of Colored People
has continued to carry out one of its
most vital purposes, that of keeping
intensely alive the sense of racial
vigilance and the conviction that the
future depends upon a relaxation by
the race of what it is justly entitled
to, and a determination to secure it.
So long as that spirit is kept alive
there can be no ultimate defeat.

Workers Party
Pledge Support To
C0|0red Workers
Will Support Race In It's Struggle for
Liberation and Seek to Open
Doors of Unions

New York, Jan. CRUSADER Serv-
ice).-The Workers Party of Ameri-
ca, in convention here December "a,
25 and 26, adopted a program in
which the party's purpose of support
ing the colored workers in this coun-
try is unequivocally stated.
The Workers Party, the program
says, will support the Negroes in
their struggle for liberation" and will
help them in their fight for economic,
political and educational equality and
will seek to end the policy of dis
elimination followed by the labor
unions and other determinations, in
Guiding those practiced by hotel keep
ers, restaurants, theaters and other
public places.
The convention, which was the Sec
ond national, also went on record for
the dictatorship of the proletariat"
(rule by the workers, of the workers,
by the workers, for the workers) and
the ''supplanting of the existing ca
pitalist government with Soviet
government"
The convention adopted declara-
ticn approving the leadership Of the
Third or Communist Internationale,
which recently went on record as es-
pousing the Negro struggle for liber-
alton throughout the world and as
standing for a free Africa, etc.:
"The leadership in the international
struggle which inspires hope in the
hearts of the workers of the world
and arouses fear in the capitalists of
our country is the leadership of the
Communist 1nfernationa1e
"The Workers Party declares it's
sympathy with the Communist Inter-
rationale and enters the struggle
against American capitalism, the
most powerful of the national groups,
under the inspiration of the leader
ship. Of the Communist Interna-
tionale."
Declaring for the dictatorship of
the proletariat, after the Soviets
have taken over both the legislative
and administrative work of the work
ing class government, the program
says;
workers. will. because of the same
recessity-the necessity of suppress
ing the capitalists-be a dictatorship
Of the workers. The government ex-
pressing the will of the 100000
workers will openly use it's power in
the interest of the workers and
against the capitalists.
ut will be the task of the govern
noent of the 100000 workers of
this country to take from the capital
lists the control and ownership. of the
raw materials and machinery Of pro-
duction upon which the workers are
dependent for their life, liberty and
happiness and to establish collective
ownership"

1,766,118 ARE
SOVIET VICTIMS
Astounding Statistics Showing
Executions in Russia Since
November 7, 1917.
FARMERS At HEAD OF LIST
Practically Half Total Number Exc
euted Were Farmers-Stories Of
Religious Prosecutions Borne
out-Murder 20 Bishops.

Washington, D. C.-Washington on
cials and members Of the diplomatic
corps are astounded at statistics re-
ceived here tending to show that
1,766,11S persons were executed in
Russia by the soviet government since
it came into power on November z,
1917, to the end Of 1921.
This total is given in what are
claimed to be official statistics which
have been received here by the diplo-
matte representatives of a European
country which is generally regarded
as not unfriendly to the existing Rus
sian government.
Farmers Lead List.
According to these statistics the per
sons executed were classified by the
soviet authorities as follows:
Farmers, $4,000; intellectuals, $780,
$50; soldiers, 100000; laborers, 1922
$50; officers, 54,65O; gendarmes, 49,
500; property owners, 1880; police
officers, 1O,5OO; physicians, $500; pro-
fessors and teachers, B,775; priests,
1,2l5; bishops, 70.
The statistics did not indicate, 1t is
said, whether the former Gar Mich
olas and his family were included in
the fateful list.
Some diplomats and officials said
that while it is impossible either to
confirm or refute it officially there
was much information to support an
assumption that the startling record
of execution and wholesale assassina-
ton was approximately correct.
May Explain Famine.
The fact that practically half of the
total number of persons executed were
farmers had occasioned some surprise,
and is interpreted by certain officials
as indicating that the conditions
among the Russian peasantry have
been much worse than commonly be-
lieved, and as explaining to some de-
gree the shortage of foodstuffs in
Russia.
Stories of religious prosecutions in
Russia seem to be borne out by the
execution Of % bishops and 1915
priests, and unofficial reports received
by the diplomat furnishing the statis-
tics are to the effect that more church
officials have been executed by soviet
authorities this year than In any pre-
ceding year.

Of all denominations is the
recognition of the value of

press. At the national con-
vention of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the
World at Milwaukee a
unique adjunct of that or
ganization was a department
devoted to the church and
the press: Facts, illustra-
tons, and statements were
presented which indicated
that the modern preacher is
keenly alive to the impor-
lance of the daily newspaper

the gospel"

should buy space in the pa

stock" was the statement
r"ade at that gathering by
the Rev. J. T. Bradner Smith,
an expert in religious pub
Lefty and propadandist for
the big centenary movement

The Rev. William M. Std
ger. Detroit, Mich, induced

LEFTY.
A DVERTISING is the
"A modern conception of
securing the highways and

is the connecting link be-
tween the church and the

church, with the use Of mod
ern methods of getting men
and women within its por-
tails by the aid of the press,
is the successful church.
The newspaper is read in
the homes Of multitudes who
never cross the threshold of
a church. To reach these,
the minister must make his
appeal through the press.
"HE Rev. Norman B.
Barr, pastor of the
Olivet Institute church,
Presbyterian, in sending in
a paid advertisement to a
Chicago newspaper, had this
to say:
"Out of appreciation of
your policy of promoting
church going by printing GO
to Church articles in con-
nection with church adver-
tisements, I think every
church in Chicago should
give you an ecclesiastical
paid advertisement. I am
in c losing one from my
church. In my judgment,
nothing will change the
Chicago we have into the
Chicago that most of US
want it to be but church 60
ing. And nothing will help
more than such articles as
you are printing in your Go
to Church columns to induce
citizens of Chicago to be-
come what they need to be-
come for their own, their
