The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1923-03-10
STILL WORKING AWAY

That the Supreme Court has re-
versed the decision of the Arkansas
courts in the cases o. the poems is
only another way of saying that
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People has
scored again. We try to be impartial
in our judgment of men and move
ments. Recently criticism of the N.
A. A. C. P. has come to the surface
in a heated controversy.
We are waiting to be convinced;
our mind is still open. In the mean
time, between the reading of attacks
and denials, we cannot help but no
tice that the N. A. A. G. P. is doing
things. In the face of Supreme
Court decisions favoring poor, ex-
plotted poems, who haven't anything
which a "Negro-hating" association
could take away, it is difficult to be-
and controlled by white people bent
on further exploitation of colored
people. 1t is difficult to believe that
these white people in New York
whom, it is alleged, are not sincerely
interested in the colored man, would
go even to the Supreme Court of the
United States to prevent resident
segregation in Louisville, KY, 900
miles away!
All critics, even some members OF
the oton-Tuskegee wing agree
that the lobby for the defunct Dyer
bill as conducted by the associa-
ton was a masterful piece Of work.
And now the peon case. While
charges fly back and forth, the as
ISOLATION works on.
In the end, it will be deeds and not
words that win the verdict Of the
people. =

(From the Boston Guardian,

(From the Boston Guardlan.)
AS Vice President Coolidge stood
up at Tuskegee, reciting the achieve
ments of the colored people in war
and peace, as he made the dedicatory
speech at the new "Negro Veterans
hospital" he should have felt ashamed
that he was the Vice President OF a
country which has done so, much to
segregate and degrade the group OF
American citizens for which the
"Jim Crow" hospital was built. The
fact that it cost $2,000,000 serves to
emphasize the other fact that it is
a costly monument to the nations
shame.
The colored people having as Mr..
Coolidge says, performed the duties
of citizenship in peace, and given
their lives in war, they should be
treated exactly the same as every
other element in the mixed popula-
tion of the United States. No one
has suggested a segregated hospital
for Jewish veterans or those of other
races. The only way now that the
people of the United States can
prove that the Tuskegee hospital is
not a segregated affair, built for the
purpose of separating the colored
people from their fellow citizens, and
for the express purpose Of having all

one mile from the South Dakota
boundary line In Wyoming, Is
having difficulty saving his hay
supplies from a herd Of about
one hundred and fifty elk which
are roaming the region near his

Guidinger had stacked his hay
and had surrounded 1t with
fences, but the famished elk
break through the fences with
ease and attack his haystacks.
He says the state Of Wyoming
refuses to reimburse him for his
hay losses. 1t is against the law
to kill elk, so he Is confronted

keeping Well in the Summer" is
the title Of two pages Of advice being
sent out by the United States Health
Service. 1t is excellent, as most any
one will agree because it comedies
with experience common to most Of
US. but Of which we perhaps would
not have given thought had we not
been reminded Of it.
Surgeon General Cumming tells us
in this that: What one should do to
keep we'll in the summer depends on
what one has been doing in the VIM
ter. By this he apparently doesn't
mean that he who has been strenu-
ously stocking the furnace with $50
cCal in the winter should cease from
stocking himself with the reasonable
amount of Galleries on the day straw
hats are announced. What he does
convey is that vacation should mean
different things to different people
engaged in different vocations.
"a clerk, for instance, should do
something that would make him use
his muscles (though not to eXcess)
and an iron mill worker something
that would enable him to rest his. \
girl who has been typeWriting or
packing cigarettes or cooking in
somebody else's home should use her
vacation in outdoor sports such as
playing tennis or something like that.
A tired wife and mother should rest
by getting away from husband and
children, soothing her nerves by chat
ting with other women, and having a
few moments of genuine privacy. A
Society girl. who really works about
as hard as anybody in the service OF
the Goddess of Pleasure, and is prob
ably Temporarily. at leasD sick of
teas and men and other girls, would
do well to attend a summer normal
school, where she would at least get
a brand-new outlook on life-unless
she has courage enough to get a job
too naughty some factory girl might
ropes.
In other words often change rath-
er than a rest is what is needed. To
quote further: 1.-THE point is to get
new ideas for the brain to null over.
All persons. after being tied to one
set of ideas Cor to no ideas at alD for
months. will find themselves a lot
healthier and happier if they can pick
up totally different set during their
vacation. Whether the ideas are wise
or foolish. they can get a lot out Of
them. particularly il they can find
friends who are considerate enough
to find a contradictory set and to
stand up for them. The two will
prevent each other from negotiating
and keep each other happy (evef1 if
furious) till the next vacation. Vege-
tating is the worst thing in the world
for a human beine-at any rate for
the American species.

SCIENCE AND CRIME

There should be no conflict between
science and religion If properly APP
piled but when the former Is turned
to the uses Of bootlegging. when that
enterprise makes use of poisonous
gases and smoke screens to defeat the
authorities, questions naturally arise.
For long time the purveyors Of wet
goods have resorted to the science OF
chemistry in the concoction Of liquor
substitutes. perhaps in less degree
under prohibition than before. There
doesn't seem to be much use OF chem
istry in the mixing Of ground glass.
strychnine, sulphuric acid or whatever
chance ingredients find their way.
casually or otherwise, into the fluids
which the abnormally thirsty will buy
nowadays. Hit or miss rather than
science suffices now. where in the
competition Of former days, science
was necessary.
This so far as the concoction
goes. but in the matter Of airplanes.
submarines and the radio, not to
mention sundry other appliances
bootlegging has seized upon the re-
suits Of science for its nefarious pur-
poses. Well. for that matter, so did
the Germans, Notwithstanding which.
though they swept the lines Of their
opponents, unaware and unprotected.
with clouds Of chlorine gas. they
could not win.
A different quality Of mind and
purpose appears to be requisite for
the successful scientist than is re-
quired for the successful bootlegger.
The latter hasn't the inspiration; he
will invent nothing more than trick
cry: and while his money may en-
ploy the qualities Of the inventor we
feel sure that both will be unable to
keep up with the conceptions of
science, Of character and of moral
purpose that may be employed to
thwart the criminal.
