The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1923-01-27
ALAB AMA

Clement Wood, a native of Alaba-
ma, has drawn as honest and fearless
a picture of that state and of racial
mixture within it's bounds as has come
out of the South in many decades.
The majority of his article which ap-
peared in recent number of the
Nation is valuable not because it is
new and startling opinion, but be-
cause it is an open statement of the
things that, heretofore, few white
men (and especially Southern bred
white men) have dared declare. The
colored man has known of these
things all along, that is why in the
face of his knowledge of the intimate
affairs of the white men and women
of the Southland, he listens to their
rantings about racial purity and the
utter impossibility of amalgamation
with an ironic smile-often a smoker.
Some white students of the problem
have known of them, but they have
been necessarily reticent about ex-
pressing themselves. 1t is interest
ing to note that the material in a
lecture course on the American
NEGRO" at one of the largest North
ern universities comedies almost ex-
actly with the statements of Mr..
Wood. It is significant, too, that the
professor of this course is careful to
express his opinion only to selected
group of advanced students, who are
presumably, prepared for shock of
truth.
While the sketch of the sex life of
the state is interesting and revealing
reading, his discussion of the effects
of Alabama's discriminatory policies
is by far the most valuable part of
the article. He says in part:
"The Negro question permeates
every phase Of Southern thinking. It
wakes with the Southern white man,
walks with them, keeps him from
sleeping. It drugs Alabama's educa-
tional system. 1t determines her eco
nomic thinking. Two-ffths
of the population are stigmatized as
inferior and kept illiterate. :.
The cost Alabama is paying; and it is
not small thing. What is the states
or the South's-contribution to the
absorbing world of science, that hand
maiden of man in his progress from
beasthood? Where are the states
and the South's-contributions to mu-
sic, to drama, to sculpture, to paint
ing, to literature? 81. Alabama
leads the states in the alphabet; and
it is time she woke from her lotus
doze and accepted mans responsible
ties out of which grow mans achieve
ments. That land does not
prosper the half of whose citizens are
kept from wisdom, and in economic,
mental and spiritual poverty. That
land cannot speak her word, nor sing
her song when half Of her tongue
strives against the other half, when
half is bound and half is free"
Here is sound opinion. The South,
stifled and mired by color nausea and
race hatred will not seek the high
clean air of tolerance, knowledge and
progress. She will have none of up
ward movements lest the black move
upward, too. No mans achievement
can come out of the South until it
loses itself from it's childish petulance
over the magnifed color question.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Dun's tomorrow will say: It is significant and reassur- ing sign that Increased conservatism has developed in various business circles. The recent rapid extension of the commercial revival with recurrence of speculative tendencies In certain instances has prompt ed a note of caution in different quarters, and there is a disposition among prudent interests to avoid overexpansion. If fur ther proof were needed of the decisive character of the industrial recovery 1t Is found ia the unexampled production of pig Iron in March. with nearly 300 furnaces running. and in the reports of practica lily capacity operations in some other branches of manufacture. This situation reflects the vigorous efforts made to replenish de- pleted supplies of many goods as well as action to cover prospective requirements.

LIVERPOOL NEWS |CAUSESCOTTONTO
 LOST PART RISE

NEW YORK, April 6.-The cotton market lost part of yesterdays ad- vances, owing to easier Liverpool cables, reports of better weather in the south and realizing for over the week end. July sold off to 28.60c. or AZ points from the high level of yes- terday and 35 points net lower. That delivery closed at 2s.65c with the general market closing steadily Is to 31 points net lower.
 The market opened barely steady 15 to 20 points lower in response to the relatively easy cables from Liverpool There was some New. Orleans buying. presumably on strad- dle account which caused moderate rallies right after the call. They met increased offerings, howevera and it seemed that some of yester- days buyers were disappointed by the action. of Liverpool. The talk was that they had taken yesterdays s strength in the English market to mean the beginning of broadening export demand and this idea evil dently was modified by the receipt of private cables this morning stat ing that the higher prices had check ed the demand for both home and foreign account in Liverpool. Houses with Liverpool connections were moderate buyers here but the liqui- dation continued and became rather more active after the publica- tion of the days detailed weather reports. These showed more favor able conditions in the south than have been reported for sometime and while selling was checked to some extent by a possibility that unsettled weather would reappear in the'south- west before Monday, the market worked gradually lower. May sold off to 29.46c and October to 25.39c or about 30 to 37 points net lower and the close was within few points of the lowest although there was some buying on the moderately bull ish weekend figures.
 Two private reports were issued pointing to an increase of about 10 per cent in acreage with one of them suggesting that the increase would be larger if weather conditions from now on were favorable.
