ADAMS. HE ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S SHAME Sixteen years have passed since the oody massacre of innocent colored mericans at Atlanta, Ga. It was of the bloodiest chapters in the story of the world. Many of the programs" of the semi-barbarous JSsian mujiks pale into insignifince before the blood-frenzy of Atita's Caucasian Christians. The aet number of the mobbed and irdered people will never be known -4' diary editorials of the Atlanta News" and the Atlanta Journal, owned by Hoax Smith, then governpr of Georgia.

Smith was recently nominated for governor and in Georgia that is equivalent to election. It is evident that public opinion supports Smith's policies. We reprint DuBois'. famous classic because we believe that the race should ponder over the wrongs it has suffered. THE APPEAL'S PLATFORM 1.

THE APPEAL resents the claim so persistently made by many Caucasians that this is a "white man's country." The colored people are citizens by right and birth and the Federal Constitution specifically places all citizens on equality before the law. 2. THE APPEAL believes that the idea advanced by certain persons that the Caucasian race has been especially commissioned bv God to rule all of the colored races is blasphemy. 3. THE APPEAL firmly believes that in a republic there can be but cne kind of citizen, hence challenges the right of the governmentfederal, state or localto discriminate in anv way between citizens by the enactment of any law which specifies that the colored people must be separated from or treated differently from the great body of citizens.

THE APPEAL is opposed to class legislation of every kind. 4. THE APPEAL believes in manhood suffrage without any educational or property qualifications whatever, and contend that the lawabiding man of good character, who does his duty as a citizen and risks his life in defense of the flag, should not be deprived of the ballot because he is poor and cannot read and write. Disfranchisement works irresistibly for the denial or abridgement of all the related rights of citizenship, because a voteless man has no right which any one is respect. 5.

THE APPEAL believes that the schools supported by public taxation should be open to all regardless of race, color or creed and that every parent should determine the kind of education he wishes his children to receive. 6. THE APPEAL believes that the statement that the Southern Caucasians pay the taxes necessary to educate the Southern colored people is an economic absurdity. That each man in his place pays as much tax as any other man in the community is an economic truism which has never been disputed by any reputable sociologist or political economist from Adam Smith down to the present time. 7.

THE APPEAL knows that the colored people have been misrepresented the matter of crime. Enemies have endeavored to prove that colored people are a criminal people, but their statements have been disproved by statistics. CaucasianAmericans commit more and baser crimes than colored people. 8. THE APPEAL is opposed td mob law and believes that mob license is more dangerous to the wellbeing and perpetuitv of society than 'the isolated infractions of the law by individuals.

9. THE APPEAL does not believe that the Southern Caucasians are the best friends of the race. The Southern Caucasian idea of friendship is the relation of superior and inferior. In many cases the colored person who gains the "friendship" of a Southern Caucasian does so at the expense of his manhood. THE APPEAL is not willing for the settlement of the race question to be left to the unjust, un-American, unchristian South for settlement.

10. THE APPEAL refuses to consider any proposition that the colored man relinquish any of the political or civil rights now possessed by the race. Every effort should be made to retain those which exist and to regain those which have been lost. THE APPEAL reaffirms its unalterable determination to continue to battle for the right to the end and come what may, THE APPEAL will never give up the contention for justice and the absolute equality of all citizens under the law. "AU REVOIR JAZZEBOS" It seems that the colored jazz artists who have become so popular in Paris will soon have to leave for home, A recent dispatch from.

Paris says A regiment of colored jazz artists from the U. S. A. have musical Paris in the hollow of their hands. Any jazz band can anchor at a French cafe and put the S.

R. O. sign in front before the end of the week. It's a gift. The terrible consequences, from the French point of view, is that jazzbos scoop up all the money in sight, while honor graduates from the French academies can't get a look-in on restaurant jobs.

The Frenchman for all his his shrugging of shoulders and talking with tShe hands, can't grab off the knack of making a saxophone whine or causing a snare drum to syncopate. Parisians dance to rag music with abandon but the talent to create it must be imported. The result is" that native boras curl up and starve, while the colored men gather big money. For the protection of the French artists a law was recently passed that on and after October 1, no orchestra may contain more than 10 per cent foreigners. That means "au revoir" to American jazz and the return of symphonic dance music to Paris.

It also mean thumbs down for many cafes that have rolled up huge dividends on the strength of jazz. ACCURSED IF THEY YIELD (Reprinted from The Appeal of October 25, 1913,) For more than a quarter of the century the editor of THE APPEAL has struggled to give the people of the West a newspaper which would defend their rights. A complete file has beep preserved and the editor is proud to say that mot a single false note has been sounded, THE APPEAL has always advised its readers never to relinquish a civil right and to aid their Southern brethren to regain the many rights Which have slipped away because of the activities of jim crow propagandists. THE APPEAL has never beep a profitable business proposition in itself, the editor has made his living out of his job printing office and from other sources of income, but he feels that he has done something to aid the colored people and consciousness of having fought for the right compensates him for the years of hard work and the expenditure of thousands of dollars. The editor of THE APPEAL is a father and the one thing he has endeavored to impress upon the minds of his children is self respect, especially as it relates to demanding all the rights of American citizenship.

He is a poor man and has little of this world's goods to bequeath them, but if they have learned their lesson well and will suffer hardships and privations and even prefer to die rather than degrade their souls by willingly accepting any treatment which is in any way inferior to that accorded to other Americans, the editor will pass into the Great Bevond happy in the thought that he has left his offspring a priceless heritage. The editor of THE APPEAL would rather see all of his children in their graves than to feel that they will ever even in their minds consider the proposition of becoming jim crowists and if they are ever willing to give up liberty and become servile sycophants, may God's most awful curse descend upon them and their children and mav their children's children be accursed through all time and eternity. IF HARDING'S RIGHT, WRONG GOD'S President Harding recently made two speeches in the South, one at Birmingham, the other at Atlanta, on the race question, in which he displayed a remarkable lack of information on the subject evidently due to the fact that he had studied only one side of the question. Of course Mr. Harding is right, when he says that the colored man should have political, educational and economic rights, but he is wrong when he says that he is not entitled to every right to whioh every other group of Americans is entitled.

The president has no right to say that one-eighth of the population of the United States must be differentiated in any way from the other seveneighths. In his special message to the Congress which met March 4, Mr. Harding said that he looked with favor on the idea of the appointment of an inter-racial commission to study racial conditions in the United States. There was no need for haste in announcing his view on a question which could not have been studied properly in the short time since he, in June, 1921, announced his intention to do, owing to his many and pressing official duties, and it seems that the President has taken advantage of an opportunity and thrust his views upon the public ear, for the purpose of creating a sentiment in favor of his ideas on the subject, which were evidently obtained from individuals and books favorable to the South but inimieal to the real interests of the colored people. The President erroneously confounds "social equality" with amalgamation.

He says that amalgamation cannot be, but it exists, it has always existed and always will exist. The combined efforts of the law and public opinion have failed to prevent the mixing of the races. Throughout the ages there has been so much racial mixing that today the scientists and, ethnologists agree that there is no such thing as a pure race. In no other country on the globe has there been more racial mixing than in the United States which is the melting pot of the world. The majority of the people of the United States are mixtures of various the greater part of this majority is composed of people with more or less Negro blood.

The racial mixing in the South is almost wholly illegitimate as the laws make marriage between the races a crime. Now as to social equality, that exists in some part of the United States and it is only in those parts of the country which have more or less of social equality that the colored people have any rights which the white people respect. The very words, "social equality" imply that all rights are secure. In the South there is neither equality nor respect for rjghts. The contempt for the colored man Is largely due to his inferior social status, which extends through all human relationships in that benighted section of the country.

Eyep at the speech of the President the colored people were segregated and the dispatches say, the white section there was a silence which was absolute and stony, only one light flutter of applause came when the President gaid, "The Negro should be. encouraged to be the best possible Negro and not the best possible imitation of the white man." This seemed to please a few of the whites who evidently visioned a "good Negro" of slavery days, who hat in hand bowed low when "ole massa" approached. The South has a queer idea of social equality. In the North "social equality" in its narrow sense, intimate social mingling in private house parties, dances, pink teas, etc. In the Sopth the idea is distorted so that it includes civic rights, hence the jimcrow car, the jimcrow school, the jimcrow library, tlje jimcrow park, the jimcrow telephone booth and so on ad nauseam.

and Secretary Miller and many leading Republicans, as well as the jimcrow campaign bureau that he would be just to his allies. Also Editor William Monroe Trotter said that he had had a personal interview with the President and he had promised to aid in eliminating segregation. Then eame a speech to a number of colored delegations from the Harding front porch, which began with, "Fellow and ended with, "Colored men, America will not fail you." These assurances caused THE APPEAL to giye candidate Harding enthusiastic support. support, probably, had little to do with the victory, but is mentioned to show that this paper was not prejudiced against him. Soon after the President assumed his duties it was noticed that he seemed to forget his promises.

Segregation in the" departments at Washington was continued, three or jimefow colored men were appointed to jimcrow governmlnt positions. Colored youth were segregated in the army training camps and coll ored men were not alloweoSio enlist in the navy. In every way the Harding administration has stood for the segregation of colored citizens and it is sad to relate that some jimcrow men accept this jimcrow settlement of matters. THE APPEAL does not believe, as Mr. Harding puts it, that there is a "fundamental, eternal and unescapable difference between the races." To do so would be to challenge God and Christianity.

It is a distinct departure from the ideals of the founders of the Republic who declared that "all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." After his argument in favor of a distinct place for the black and colored people, Mr. Harding tells us that the "one thing we must most sedulously avoid is the development of group and class organizations in this country." He argued against the very thing which he has previously argued for. There are just as many differences between the individuals of any one race as their are between the people of any number of races. The idea of race differentiation in any form in the law, in the functions of the government, and in public association is contrary to a just concept of a democracy in which all men are presumed to be equal, and is repugnant to the highest ideals of the Christian's God, who is declared to have made of one blood all nations of men. If Mr.

Harding is right, God is wrong. If Mr. Harding had had the time to study the question and he had studied it with an open mind he would have found that in France, Spain and Portugal, there have never been any racial hatreds founded on the color of the skin and the same is true of South and Central America. In these countries, unhampered by class and color distinctions colored men have risen to the highest places in every branch of human endeavor. There are more full-blooded Negroes in Brazil than in the United States and, counting the mixed-blood population of black, Indian and white, and the pure whites, the population totals over 30,000,000 who live together in perfect harmony, without any public differentiation of race.

There are no social barriers whatever in Brazil and it is a complete refutation of the idea that there must be social bars between the men and women who are citizens of a country. Color differentiation means the ascendency of one caste and the degradation of the other. Social equality does not necessarily mean amalgamation. That should be a for individuals to determine. Touring? th6 coming disarmament parley, the Japanese will be treated with the greatest social consideration.

They will be wined and dined and received at every social function, meeting people who in their hearts hold hatred toward them, and in spite of all the social mingling it is safe to say that not a single marriage will result. In a democracy like oiurs, all men, whether they are black or white, red, yellow or brown, should meet in all human relationships without racial differentiationssimply as AMERICANS. THERE A DIFFERENCE. The "jimcrow negroes" who are continually repealing "the North is no better than the South" know they are lying when they utter such rot. The oppression of the colored people is ten thousandfold greater in the South than in the North.

Ninety per cent of the lynching occurs. in the South, and ALL qf the disfranchisement and jimcrow laws. A little instance which is illuminating. A colored man was Wrested in (Chicago last week charged with having assaulted a white woSnan with a club, breaking her skulfJ A doctor diagnosed his case as denrfentia praecox and he was committed to the psycopathic hospital treatment. What would have happened in Georgia? Well this is what'fdid happen in Georgia last summer eiren when no white woman was involved.

A colored man shot a white riian and in turn was shot by a white He was taken to a hospital where he died shortly after. About midnight the white mob went to the hospital to get the wounded colored man and lvnch him. Exasperated at finding that he was dead, the mob broke into the dead room, got the corpse, carried it to the outskirts of the city and burned it to a crip. The charred remains were then returned te the hospital. This happened in the city of Augusta, in the Year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Twentyone.

HE "MENACE" OF BUDDHISM. A woman who has been a Christian missionary in Japan for "18 years call' ed the attention to the Dtfsciples of Christ, at a recent general conference, to the growing "menace" of Buddhism. She said that Buddhist priests and teachers areooming in inpress creasing numbers and are urging the Japanese in the U. 9. to have nothing When Harding was a candidate for to do with the Christian religion on President, TJBE APPEAL doubted the ground its followers call that he would give colored people a oppre them, square deal and was not disposed ts also stated that Buddhism is support him but we were reassured gaining among Americans and that the arch enemy of the colored race.

NAUSEATING. tion denial of living wages denial of equal school facilities disfranchisement jimcrow cars, etcetera. Why even Tuskegee Institute which furnishes Principal Moton his bread and butter is the gift of the North. Northern people have given 95 per cent of the endowment fund, and the greater portion of the running expenses is begged in the North.

The state of Alabama gives the measly suim of about $3,000. Here is another gem from Principal 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 students come out imbued with distorted ideas of their proper place in the world? 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 English 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, especially when considered as subjects of civil government." Here are some of the definitions of of the same degrees with another or each other uniform in condition or action 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 ope is able to buy or rent a home, the right to attend the nearest public school, the right to a legal trial when right which citizenship in a republic charged with crime, and every other carries with it. 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 others, and subject to the whims and caprices of a master class. In North Carolina, where Principal Moton made his speech, colored people are treated as a group apart from the white citizenship and subject to different treatment. They have suffered from all of the inequalities of citizenship.

They have made progress not because 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 activities in the past should not be forgotten. Shortly after he succeeded B.

"in and burns colored CHristians at the'prder to attend a conference at Stake. It is aided in "keeping the Tyskegee." 'nigger' in his place" by the KnKluxL For a colored man to laud the Klanamen, who, barring the Jews and brutal South, which has heaped un- speakable wrongs upon his people for hundreds of years, is a disgusting exhibition of servility. Imagine if you can, an Irishman 'approving the 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. It is nauseating to read the rot given out by R. R. Mbton, principal of Tuskegee, as he travels through the South in jimcrow cars, stopping now and then to make speeches lauding 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 mnk 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 anything 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 proclamation, have advanced further than the colored people in this country because they have reached the point where color does not count. They are absolutely free from any civil or social discriminations. The color line 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 wonderful thing that his race had the privilege of coming into contact with the white people of the South." Here are some of the benefits of the contact: Two hundred and fifty years of slavery enactment of the infamous Black Codes to retain slavery, settled by the segregation of Ameri in fact, after its abolition segrega- citizens ca fromfrHthe a ride Pullman sleeper becaus she was colored.

We had in a recent issue a symposium of views of colored editors in various parts of the country on the speeches of President Harding in Birmingham, and Atlanta, Ga.

One of the strongest of theseTHIan is editorial from the Richmond (Va.) Planet, by that fearless journalist, John Mitchell, Jr. Referring to the desire of PresidenS 0 Harding to have PUL more "negro" leaders developed, The Planet says: I KIND OF LEADERS, DR. BOOK- ER T. WASHINGTON DID HIS DEVELOPIN THI KIND OF LEADERSHIP. IN LAT- ER YEARS HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD GONE TOO FAR, THE ELIMINATING THEfollowing PRINCIPLEWS OH MANHOOD, RACO CA 0 HIC RISE TO THE FULL HEIGHT OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.

This is a strong statement yet it is absolutely true. No single thing in the history of the colored people in the United States has done so much to prevent the full attainment of citizenship as that speech of Booker Washington delivered in Atlanta, 1895. 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, pronounced a eulogy on Henry W. Grady, the most bitter, dangerous and insidious enemy of the colored people that the country has produced, declared that the race question must be Lured on by the enthusiastic reception by the South of the B.

Washington 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 menace to be reckoned with every community 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 article, written by him, was printed in a leading magazine, in which he repudiated segregation which he had so long championeu. No greater calamity could befall the colored people than the harvesting of a new crop of "jimcrow negro leaders." MOTON'S LOST OPPORTUNITY Moton had the great opportunity of his life to strike a blow for freedom 'When he was on the platform as the alleged representative of the colored people. Had he been a brave and fearless leader, when he learned of the segregation of the colored people at the exercises he would have turned to President Harding and said: "Mr.

President of the United States, Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Before making my set address, 1 must make a protest against the segregation and huimiliation of the colored people at these exercises dedicating a monument to the memory of the Great Emancipator, and as a representative of one-eighth of the people of the United States I say that unless the barriers are torn down and every vestige of discrimination removed my prepared address will remain unspoken and the only words I shall utter will be the words I have just YPlceq. Let that go into the records as my speech." Sueh a statement would have created a sensation. It would have brought home to the audience the in famous state of affairs into which the nation has drifted. It would have made Moton a real leader and his words would have gone thundering down the ages. Moton had not the courage to say i EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES.

President Harding and Secretary Hughes "have been moved" by complaints from Americans in the near east and have demanded equal opportunities for Americans in Persia and Mesopotamia. It seems that those who kiek get at least some qf the things they complain about. And the President would sit up and take notice if the colored people kicked hard enough and in unison, While the administration is quick to come to the aid of "Americans abroad," it does not hesitate to curse 'Americans at home." Colored Americans have been jimcrowed in every way right here in America. The President's speeches in Alabama and Georgia were curses upon patroitic Americans and double curses because some lickspittle "leaders" attempted to condone them.
