John Stuart Mill. jt SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1921 NAUSEATING. It is nauseating to read the given out by R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, as he travels through the South in jimcrow cars, stopping now and then to make speeches laud ing his oppressors. If he were the only one to suffer it would matter little, but his words are promptly telegraphed all over the country, and every time he opens his mouth the colored people of the entire country sink lower in the minds of those who read. Many of his statements are wholly without foundation in fact. For instance in a recent lecture before the students of the University of North Carolina, the wires say he said: "The Negro race has advanced further than any similar number of colored people anywhere on the globe because it has had the privilege of coming in contact with the white people of the South." Could any thing with a smaller amount of truth and a greater amount of servility be compressed into one sentence? The census of Brazil shows that there are about 22,000,000 people with more or less Negro blood in that country, or nearly twice as many as there are in the United States, according to census figures. And the colored people of Brazil, although they were once slaves and were not emancipated until 1888, a quarter of a century after Lincoln's proclama tion, have advanced further than the colored people in this country be cause they have reached the point where color does not count. They are absolutely free from any civil or social discriminations. The color line does not exist in Brazil, and the blackest Brazillian is in every way the peer of the whitest of his countrymen. Principal Moton deems it a wonder ful thing that his race "has had the privilege of coming into contact with the white people of the South." Here are some of the benefits of the con tact: Two hundred and fifty years of slavery enactment of the in famous Black Codes to retain slavery, in fact, after its abolition segrega tion denial of living wages denial of equal school facilities disfranchise ment jimcrow cars, etcetera, Why rotothers, 3L*. even Tuskegee Institute which fur nishes Principal Moton his bread and butter is the gift of the North. Northern people have given 95 perThe cent of the endowment fund, and the greater portion of the running ex penses is begged in the North The state of Alabama gives the measly sum of about $3,000. Here is another gem from Prin cipal Moton "To the Southern white people we owe our language and our religion and all that we have learned and all that we have advanced in civilization." Think of a man who would say such things being the head of an institution which trains the youth. Is it strange that many of the studentrsW come out imbued with distorted ideas of their proper wo tn i lac Then Principal Moton came out in his peroration in which he said that "no Southern colored iman wanted social equality." In that statement he showed his ignorance of the Eng lish language? He probably meant to say that the colored people were not seeking matrimonial alliances with white people. Principal Moton may not wish social equality, but there are millions of colored people who do desire it. Social equality means, "equality in the collective body composing a community, espe cially when considered as subjects of civil government." Here are some of the definitions of "equal": of the same degrees with another or each other uniform in condition or ac tion of just proportion or relation equitable, just, impartial, exact of the same importance and concern not distinguished by any ground or preference. Social equality means the right to vote, the right to equal and identical accommodations on common carriers, the right to service in public places of refreshment and amusement, the right to residence anywhere one ispractice able to buy or rent a home, the right to attend the nearest public school, the right to a legal trial when charged with crime, and every other right which citizenship in a republic carries with it. Principal Moton's dear friends of the South have denied all of these rights to the colored people, every effort for advancement has been fought, in one way or another, even if conducted on jimcrow lines. The purpose of the South always has been and is now, to segregate the colored people from other citizens and make them a pariah class, despised by all and subject to the whims and caprices of a master class. In North Carolina, where Principal Moton made his speech, colored people are treat ed as a group apart from the white citizenship and subject to different treatment. They have suffered from a}l of the inequalities of citizenship. They have made progress not be cause of segregation, but in spite of it. If the Southern white people had not placed hindrances, including murder, in their path, they would have ere this reached the plane which has been attained by the colored people of Brazil. Some of Principal Moton's activi ties in the past should not be for-Jwn gotten. Shortly after he succeeded B. Washington, as the head of Tuske gee, his wife was ejected from a Pullman sleeper because she was colored. Accordirig to the associated press Moton made no attempt to de fend her, but stated that he had ad vised her not to attempt to ride in a Pullman. Just after the armistice *fi ^l^i#:ll^ It^t t^^i^Gr*!- THE SIN OF S&ENC^ To sin by silence when we protest makes cowards out of The human rac^e has climbed on pro test. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the in- quisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide pur least disputes.

Crisis and other periodicals and many colored soldiers asserted that instead of investigating and endeav oring to correct the outrageous treat ment to which the colored troops were subjected, he rushed around, made a few speeches telling the col ored soldiers to be "good" and then took the first boat for the U. S. "in order to attend a conference at Tuskegee." For a colored man to laud the brutal South, which has heaped un speakable wrongs upon his people for hundreds of years, is a disgusting ex hibition of servility. Imagine if you can, an Irishman approving the, aw ful murders by the British soldiery conceive if you can, a Jew condoning the pogroms in Russia, Poland and the Balkan states think of an East Indian lauding the English who blew many of his countrymen from the mouths of cannon. If you can visual ize these things then you can get a true picture of what it means for a colored man to laud the South. DR. BENTLEY BANQUETED. Recently two hundred of Chicago's leading citizens gave a banquet cost ing more than $1,000 to Dr. Charles E. Bentley, the famous dentist, and he well deserved the honor. The editor of THE APPEAL has known Dr. Bentley since his youth in Cin cinnati and has watched his career with interest and has seen him rise by his own efforts from a poor boy to one of the greatest dentists in the country. He has received countless honors from the members of his pro fession who regard him as one of the most skilful practitioners in the world, In spite of the demands of his work upon his time, and he has a paying $20,000 to $25,000 per year, he has for years given much of his valuable time in looking out for the interests of those less for tunate than he. His activities as a public spirited citizen have won him the love and esteem of all who know him. THE JEWS FIGHT BACK. The Jews are not like some of our jimcrow people who turn the other cheek when they are kicked and get another kick. Oh, no they fight back when they are attacked. For some time past Henry Ford, the billionaire automobile maker, has been printing a lot of dirty stuff aaginst the Jews in his paper, the Dearborn Independent. The Jews have money and the influence which goes with it and they are preventing the sale of the paper. It has al ready been barred from the streets of Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Toledo and other large cities. That's the way to do it fight back. THE "NOW" OF THE CHRISTIAN. Compiled by E. W. Gilles.

THE g)BLE IN USEv%.% iu ff vftj, WT By E. W Gilles. S 3 A real Biblef sermon is Always a good sermon, Keep close to* the Bible and yon will keep close to the people. The psalmist says:. They that love Thee will be glad when they seo me, because I have hoped in Thy Word. When the farmer goes out into his cattle yard with a big basket of com, the animals will come a running and keep coming as long as he has the food for them. The Bible is the great moral and spiritual food basket, and as long as we feed the people out of it, they will come and keep coming. This is the secret of getting and holding an audience. Just'as good food, well prepared and well served will bring the peo ple to the church supper, so the good food of the Word, well prepared and well served will bring them to the church services. The Bible is the point of contact between pastor and people,, and as long as we keep the point of contact well in use we will be able to reach them. In electrics we have the electric dynamo and the electric current and the wires and all the rest. The-Bible is atrof this in spiritual things. If we keep it working, we will reach the people. CRISPUS ATTUCKS HOME. To Put on a Big Drive for One Thou sand Dollars. Under the reconstruction of the Board of Trustees of Crispus Attucks Home, its officers feel that they are entitled to the hearty co-operation and support of the people of the Twin Cities in seeing that the home is put in proper condition for the care of its inmates, our old folks an^ orphan children. And we the trustees assure the public that we will not lack in doing our part to see that everything is kept as it should be. We*have investigated the method in which the business of the home has been done and find, with out criticism, that it is necessary to make same changes in order that we may have a correct record of every thing that is done. Crispus Attucks Home needs $1,000, and the board is planning to raise this sum in 90 days, with the sup port and help of the generous public. Board of Trustees. GEORGE C. SHANNON, Chairman.
