FROM THE NATION

The story of the system of farming
out county prisoners in Florida does
not make pretty reading. It is the
old, old story of sentences for such
trivial offenses as stealing rides on
freight trains being worked off by
forced labor under contractors who
buy convict labor cheap and maintain
discipline by whipping, sometimes
with six or seven pound straps. The
men are herded in camps reeking
whit filth and disease, are sometimes
forced to work for hours hip-deep in
swamps, and have virtually no med
ical care. The sheriff receives a cash
bonus for each man he is able to send
to the contractor. This is slavery;
but Florida has caught the country's
attention through the death of Mar
tin Tabert, a North Dakota boy
chiefly because he is a white boy.
Black men have gone to unrecorded
death in these chain gangs for de-
cades. I'm Roosevelt's time there were
shocking revelations of the horrors
of peonage in the lower South, and
attempt at remedy. But the evil has
lived on. Two years ago where VIII
hams murdered eleven Negroes on
his Georgia plantation there came a
new outburst of protest.

THANKS!

We appreciate your observation
that THE APPEAL without blare of
trumpets is getting better and better.
THE APPEAL of the past needs to
make no apology, for it represents
thirty-eight years of persistent eff
fort, thirty-eight years of human vi
tally spent to give to the Northwest
a medium; that would interpret the
thoughts and ideals of it's colored
citizenry.
No! THE APPEAL shall not
apologize, THE APPEAL will not
boast, there will be no blare of trum-
pets or bottomless promises y
we have only this to say =
that in the past THE APPEAL has
received your support and co-opera-
ton because Of your respect and
friendship to it's late and veteran
Editor John @. Adams, and your de-
sire to support race periodical
= = in the future, we ask for
your patronage on it's merits!

WALTER H. CHESTNUT

The real tragedy in the death of
Walter Chestnut was not alone that
he died young-in the first bloom of
his manhood-but that he died in the
beginning of a life that promised to
yield more than ordinary service to
mankind. -.
He was self-made. Before he was
81 he had made a statewide name
for himself in high school track cir
cles, had earned the reputation of
being a hustler" and an Ambitious
kid" and before he reached the age
of twenty, he had started The North
western Bulletin with little capital
beside a Big Idea and a will to work.
Under his leadership The Bulletin
ranked easily among the upper ten
colored journalism less than years
time!
Here truly was youth of whom
the whole race may be proud. When
he was forced to forego college edu-
cation because Of private complica-
tions, he might have picked any one
of the easy ordinary jobs which col
ored youths follow. He chose rather
to press on and try to overcome the
handicaps which only few people
knew were pulling him the other way.
When he might have been Sowing

matters of life to more mature men
he was starting newspaper which
should speak for and aid his people.
The loss of the boy-the man-is
one that is mourned by his family
and his personal friends; but the loss
of the qualities in him is mourned by
a race which can i'll afford to lose
young men of his type.

BLOCKING THE WAY
By F. II. WALKER

THOSE apostles of Iaxity who can
I never find time to do anything as
1t ought to be, done, go crookedly
through life complaining in their semi.
serious moments that they are tagging
leagues behind their rivals and never
getting anywhere.
They admit this without any appar-
ent sense of shame or conjunction OF
conscience.
Sometimes to their intimates Of like
ilk, they boast of their Shortcomings
in spirit of brayado.
A laziness that distinguishes them
from what they disdainfully term the
common class" to whom they will
scarcely nod courteous good morn.
ing seem in their minds to put them
upon worshipfuI pedestal. -...
Daily they go about their task In
slipshod manner, stunning respon
sibflity DIS hen avoids a pool Of
water. Everything they do is halt
done.
Careless in observing how the pro
ficient save time and energy, and thus
make work a pleasure instead Of 9
drag. these listless persons are always
in trouble, scowling and finding fault
even when everything about them Il
cheerful.
Their desks or benches are contin
ually> in confusion, quite in keeping
with their unmethodical minds.
When urgently needed no paper OF
tool is within sight or reach.
It Is generally hidden somewhere In
disordered heap. Precious minutes
are lost while searching for the elusive
thing, and should the task of finding
1t happen to be more vexatious thar
usual, some innocent fellow-worker ii
openly charged with pilfering.
Then storm breaks and the at
mosphere is surcharged with anger
which in the customary slowness Of
cooling off Is likely to leave the prin
cipals for days and days in sulky
humors.
Persons Of this character are doomed
to fail in everything they undertake
except in the making Of quarrels and
the wrecking Of friendships.
Blameful themselves. they pile theil
sins on the blameless.
Wherever they are found there IL
turmoil, inefficiency, disloyalty and un
happiness, four danger signals which
block the way in every track Of en-
deavor to promotion to the higher
ranks. - E.(s.

that Paderewski intended to visit
Austin. Soon after the news arrived,
Rep. Roy G. Coffee sent to the Speak
er's desk a resolution signed by many
members extending a Texas welcome
to "the great Russian ex-premier and
famous baritone singer" and asking
him to sing before them. This reso-
luton was adopted without challenge
and by unanimous vote Of the House
of Representatives"
Yes, it is easier to understand the
white Southerner now. All along we
have been appealing to him as man;
we have Sought to reason with him;
we have sought to call him las in the
case of mob violence) to an apprecia-
ton of the State in the large, to the
preservation of the ideals of the whole
country. In all these efforts we have
failed because we have been talking
the language of men to the minds of
children; we have set nationwide
problems before infants who cannot
yet see over their backyard fences.
1t is possible that lawmakers who do
not know the difference between So
cialism and sociology, who do not
know enough current history to know
that Paderewski is ex-premier of Po-
land, not Russia, and is a pianist and
not a singer can have the faintest
conception of justice, morality and
fairness? Can they be expected to
see the desirability of books, educa-
ton and culture? No, of course not.
The South needs a corps of gov
ernesses to teach it it's A-B-Cs.

THE TEXAS MIND

Day by day it becomes easier to
see "the Southerner's side of ito
account for some of the things that
happen to black and white people be-
low the Mason and Dixon line. The
underlying cause is the puny mind OF
the Southerner. He (the great mass
average) has little or no mind; he
cannot think-he isn't trained to do
so; hence, like a child, he is swayed
by every wind of emotion and prejud-
ice that blows.
Last month DR.. Dubois, in the
Crisis, revealed a rather interesting
and amusing Texas mind by publish
ing some correspondence from that
state. The March 81 number of The
Nationa contains an article and a let
ter that throw further illumination on
the mentality of the people Of the
Lone Star state-and both are written
by native Texans. The quotations
which follow indicate clearly why
Texas ranks so high in mobocracy
and so low in democracy:
"The best preventive against con-
viction in Texas murder case is
money . "we have little inter
est in scientific, or indeed any sort of
knowledge, from books, unless inn

is hard to believe that large, rich,
technically and mechanically efficient
newspaper can fill its editorial page
365 days a year without indicating
somewhere in it that some time some
editor has read a book. But the
Dallas News, our greatest Texas
daily, achieves this -. "The pub
lie schools and the State University
were beautifully endowed with gifts
of land; but these have not been well
managed. Our country schools are
poor and the teachers miserably paid
"a Texas legislator recently
charged that the University was
teaching Socialims, and cited the
catalogue where in plain black print
It was set out that. there were classes
in and teachers Of Sociology.

light on the minds of these same
legislators:

SPINoARN MEDALIST
Chicago Whip,


They are now proposing men for
the Spingarn Medal which is given
each year to the black man who makes
the most notable achievement among
his people. 1t is hoped that the
Judges will not be prejudiced and
biased and will select a man who has
really accomplished something that is
worth while. Heretofore, there has
been a leaning toward a class of in
dividuals who have gained popular
favor but have not achieved anything
of lasting importance. We suggest

hensive history of the colored man is
