CRINGING AWAKENS CONTEMPT.
We cannot win by blinking at facts
or. by ignoring fundamental princi
ples. Editor J. Q. 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 wil blaze the
way to our financial, industrial and
political enfranchisement in this
country where none will dare molest
us or make us afraid. Wise colored
leaders will take notice and govern
themselves accoidingly.
The foregoing from The Planet of
Richmond, Va., edited by Hon. John
Mitchell, Jr., who recently polled
20,000 votes as candidate for gov
ernor of the state, is pleasing to the
editor but we accept it as a tribute
to the cause for which THE APPEAL
has fought for nearly forty years
rather than a personal compliment.
JIM CROW LEADERS.
We present in this issue a sympo
sium of views of colored editors in
various parts of the country on the
speaches of President Harding in Bir
mingham, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga.
One of the strongest of these is an
editorial from the Richmond (Va.)
Planet, by that fearless journalist,
John Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the
desire of President Harding to have
more "negro" leaders developed, The
Planet says:
THE SOUTH IS FULL OF THIS
KIND OF LEADERS. DR. BOOK-
ER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS
PART IN DEVELOPING THIS
KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LAT-
ER YEARS HE REALIZED THAT
HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, TO THE
EXTENT OF ELIMINATING THE
PRINCIPLES OF MANHOOD,
WITHOUT WHICH NO RACE CAN
RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
This is a strong statement yet it is
absolutely jtrue. No single thing in
the history of the colored people in
the United States has done so much
to prevent the full attainment of citi
zenship as that speech of Booker
Washington delivered in Atlanta, Ga.,
in 1895.
A *5i^ fet^T^f^^fTS^S 'WIS
THE S9N OF SILENCE
Since then the descent to hell has
been swift and sure and the depths
were sounded when the other day,
Warren G. Harding, President of the
United States, stood by the side of
the Grady, monument in Atlanta, pro
nounced a eulogy on Henry W.
Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and
insidious enemy of the colored people
that the country has produced, de
clared that the race question must be
settled by the segregation of Ameri
can citizens.
Lured on by the enthusiastic recep
tion by the South of the B. Washing
ton speech and the white man's
"good negro" pat on the shoulder, the
jimcrow leaders' tribe has increased
so enormously that it is now a men
ace to be reckoned with in every com
munity in which there are a hundred
colored men.
Before he died Booker Washington
repented in bitterness what he had
done and longed for life to wash out
his unwise course but it was too late.
Although it may be news to many,/ it
is a fact that after his death an ar
ticle, written by him, was printed in
a leading magazine, in which he re
pudiated segregation which he had so
long championed.
No greater calamity could befall
the colored people than the harvest
ing of a new crop of "jimcrow negro
'eaders."

DEATH OF ABDUL BAHA.
an-
A cable from Haifa Syria,
nounced the death in that city of
Abdul Baha Abbas, one of the great
est men of the day and the leader of
the Bahaist movement.
Abdul Baha, "servant of God,"
tiaveled through the United States in
1912 and visited St. Paul among other
places. He was the guest of the large
congregation of Bahaists in Chicago
the latter part of April and early in
May in 1912 and on May 1, he dedi
cated the site at the Sheridan road
bridge in Wilmette, a suburb of Chi
cago, where the Bahaists are now
building a temple costing several mil
lions of dollars, to be the world cen
ter of Bahaism.
Abdul Baha was born in Teheran,
Persia. He was the successor of the
Bab, "gateway of knowledge," who
began about 1844
headway until executed at the age of'
disciple of the Bab.
Father and son were banished in,
1888 to Akka, a prison city in Syria.
Forty years later the Young Turks
overthrew the despotic regime in Con
stantinople,
freed.
WERE TH E CARDS STACKED?
Twenty-three years.ago the United
States occupied the Philippine Islands,
promising independence for the Fili-
sent a mission consisting of Gen.
Leonard Wood and W: Cameron
Forbes to investigate present condi
tions and the report, which has just
been made public, recommends that
the United States must keep the
islands.
Months ago, long before the investi
gation had been completed, Gen. Wood
was nominated for governor and is
now in office.
Did Uncle Sam stack the cards on
the liberty-loving Filipinos?
NOT A MAGNA CHARTA.
We are sorry to notice that some
colored man has written an article in
which he says that President Hard
ing's Birmingham speeches a "Magna
Charta of Negro rights." Evidently
the gentleman, like President Harding
has not thought the question through.
Instead of being a great charter of
liberties, it is really a curse hurled at
the colored people from which it will
take a thousand years to recover.
We have gathered together and re
print this issue many columns of
comment on the President's Southern
speeches and we recommend that the
people who have been disposed to
swallow the discourses in toto, should
read the articles carefully and learn
of the dangers which lurk in the
President's utterances.
BUNK!
Under the heading "Gamaliel Emu
lates Gililean," the Republican Pub
licity Association is sending out to
Republican newspapers a lot of dope
comparing President Harding to Jesus
Christ, but the resemblances are not
many. Christ did not teach that there
were "fundamental, eternal and un
escapable differences" between hu
man beings. Rich and poor, bond and
free, .black and white all looked alike
to the Galilean.

that we have denied the ensuing prob

but we have said with a certain
truth: Sufficient unto the present
tangle is the obvious evil thereof. Let
us follow the clear light and after
ward turn to other darknesses.
But sometimes this becomes sud
denly impossible. Sometimes the so
considere.d^minor problem is so tre
mendous and insistent that it leaps
to the fore and demands examination
and honest facing. This is particu
lraly so when we have not simply
ignored the problem but have delib
erately and cynically lied about it,
denied it, and said not that "Social
Equality" was not a pertinent and
pressing problem but rather that it
was no problem at all.
The Birmingham Speech.
And now comes ^resident Hard
ing's Birmingham speech when un
wittingly or deliberately the President
brings the crisis. We may no longer
dodp-e nor hesitate. We must all,
black or white, Northerner or South
erner, stand in the light and speak
plain words.
The President must not for a mo
ment be blamed because, when in
vited to the semi-centennial of a great
Southern city of industry, he talked
of the Negro instead of the results
of profitable mining. There is but
one subject the South. The South
prriers themselves can speak no other,
think no other, act no other. The
eternal and inevitable Southern topic
is and has been and will be the Black
Man.
Moreover, the President laid down
three theses with which no American
can disagree without a degree of self
stultification almost inconceivable,
namely:
1. The Negro must vote on the
same terms that white folk vote.
2. The Negro must be educated.
3. The Negro must have economic
justice.
The sensitive may note that the
President qualified these demands
somewhat, even dangerously, and yet
thev stand out so clearly in his speech
that he must be credited with mean
ing to give them their real signifi
cance. And in this the President
made a braver, clearer utterance
than Theodore Roosevelt ever dared
to make or than William Taft or
William McKinlev ever dreamed of.
For this let us give him every ounce
of credit he deserves.
Social Equality.
But President Harding did not
stop here. Indeed he did not begin
here. Either because he had no ade
cmate view of the end of the fatal
nath he was treading or because, in
his desire to placte the white South,
he was careless of consequences, he
put first on^ his program of racial
settlement a statement which could
have been understood and was under
stood and we fear was intended to
be understood to pledge the nation,
the Negra race and the world to a
doctrine so utterly inadmissible in the
twentieth century, in a republic of
free citizens and in an age of hu
manity that one stands aghast at the
motives and the treasons for the pro
nouncement.
It may to some seem that this
statement is overdrawn. Some puz
zled persons may say: But Negroes
themselves have told me that thev
repudiate "Social Equality" and
amalgamation of race in fact, right
here at Birmingham, Negro applause
of the President was audible.
All this doe^ not minimizerather
it emphasizes the grave crisis pre
cipitated by the President's speech.
It emphasizes the fact of-our mental
skulking or transparent and delib
erate dishonesty in dealing with the
Negro.
Social equality may mean two
thiners. The obvious and clear mean
ing is the right of a human being to
accept companionship with his fel
low on terms of equal and reciprocal
courtesy. In this sense the term is
understood and defended by modern
men. It has not been denied by any
civilized man since the French Revo
lution. It is the foundation of de
mocracy and to bring it into being,
the world went through revolution,
war, murder and hell.
But there is another narrow, stilt
ed and unreal meaning, that is some
times dragged from these words,
namely: Social equality is the right
to demand private social companion
ship with another.
Or to put it more simply: The
r^al meaning of "social equality" is
eligibility to association with men,
and the forced and illogical meaning
is the right to demand private asso
ciation with anv particular person.
Such a demand as the latter is idiotic
and was never made by anv sane
person while on the contrary, for any
person to admit that his character is
such that he is physically and moral-
1v unfit to talk or travel or eat with
his fellow men, or that he has no de
sire to associate with decent people,
would be an admission which none
but a leper, a criminal or a liar could
possibly make. It is the very essence
of self-respect and human equality
and it carries with it no jot of arro
gance or assumptionit is simply
Homo Sum.
Self-deception.
Desoite this, for fifty years the
Southern white man has said to the
Negro: Do you mean to sav that
you consider yourself fit to associate
with white people? And the Negro
has answered but the question whi^h
he answered was not the one asked,
but rather the other totally different
question: Do you mean to say that
you want to force your friendship
and company on persons who do not
want them? The answer to this is
obviously an emphatic and indignant
No. But when the Negro said No,
he knew that he was not answerine
the question the white man intended
to ask and the white man knew that
the Negro knew this, and that he him
self had purposely asked a qwes+ion
of double^and irreconcilable meaning,
