SOUTH UNMOVED BY HARDING’S EQUALITY TALK President, by Appointments, Should Lead Way, Is Suggestion. ' By WALUCK BA9SFOBD. WASHINGTON, E>. C.. Nor. L—When the President said in bis speech at Birmingham. “Whether yon like it or not, it oar democracy is not a lie, you mast stand for the political and economic oqne'lty of the races,” be teas uttering a -ntlment which will sooner or later base deeper effect in the North than in the South, and be was undertaking tbe old and impossible task of measuring unlike things with the same yardstick. Os course the real purpose of the speech wai political* he expressed the desire that the wlii f e people of the South would divide up on economic lines and forget the race question—which is nothing but the old, old effort to break the solid South. Even Lincoln dreamed of it, and every Republican President since has tried his hand at it—all in Tain. The President also urged the negroes to divide their ranks on political questions—knowing all the time they would not do it. lie knew that those who take sufficient interest or pride in their new-found rights to vote, still vote more than 99 per cent for the candidates bearing the Republican label. SOUTH SIMPLY WON T lIAt E IT. Conditions iu the Southern States demonstrate two things: First, that the Southern white people are not going iu hare equality of any kind between the racos; they couldn't have if they wished, and they will never wish it. The differences, socially, economically and ethnically, are fundamental and ineradicable; they go back to creation’s dawn and to the Creator; they have always existed and always will. The ipse dixit of a President is uttered, talked of for awhile and is forgotten, while the age-old fundamental obstacles remain. Il Egypt, before the Exodus even, an Egyptian writer, speaking of the negro, said: "He is different; his skull is not like ours; It ossifies at the age of puberty, after which the brain does not grow.” That is a free translation from the cuneiform characters of the Egyptians. The difference noted then exists now. If the President's words, quoted in the firs. paragraph, mean anything, they mean that the negro must* be allowed to work on an absolute equality with the white mechanic or artisan. To be allowed so to work, he would so necessity have to be admitted to membership in the labor unions—the Bricklayers’ Union, tho

The Prlesidont says: “You must atana for the political and economic equality of the races.’' It will be interesting to note if the question will appeal to tho great labor leaders of the country with the same force with which it seems to have gotten hold of the President. HOW CAN EQUALITY EXIST. It is interesting to ask how such jqnaltty is possible in the northern cities to which the negro has flocked in recent yeirs, where practically all labor is performed by the of lalbor unions, operating under their rules, which require that each member demonstrate before a selected committee hi* ability to perform skilfully the work properly falling to members of that union. I believe it is true at the present time that all no*gross are barred from membership In these unions, and I am Informed by union men that there are a few negroes in those cities who could pass the re-

How half of tha canal is blocked by coffer dam at Flft.y-Slxth street in order to permit tho laying of the Fifty-Sixth street and Westfield road main sewer beneath tho canal bed is shown In the photograph. Tho sewer is five feet in diameter and drains practically all of the territory north of Fifty-Second, street west of Central avenua into White River. It will cost about $310,000. Tho Sheehan Construction Company, which has tho contract, is laying the sower beneath tho caual bed in two steps, the first of which is shown herewith. Workmen are excavating, building a concrete foundation and laying the pipe thereon behlnc' the steel walls which keep out the water. When the pipe it laid half way across tho canal the coffer dam will be pulled up and moved to the other half and the sower carried on across. The canal crossing operation requires the laying of approximately 130 feet of five-foot cast Iron pipe in this manner.

tested the temper of these men in othei matters do not think so. If tho President Is sincere in his startling utterance, he should show his faith by his works. The world Is still judging the tree by Its fr-ult. Something like 20 per cent of the Republicans are negroes; on that basis, 20 per cent of all the President’s appointments should go to j

But will tho appointments be made? No, not one of them —in fact, tbe negroes will not get at President Harding's hands three appointments that are dosired by white Republican politicians.

And Shank Cried Eight years ago today Indianapolis was in the hands of a mob. Lew Shank was mayor of the city. While policemen stood idly by, street car motormen and conductors were dragged from their cars and roughly handled. All through that long day street cars were smashed in Washington street and other property destroyed, without let or hindrance by Shank’s police department. The better element of our citizenship, regardless of whether or not it sympathized with the strikers, stood aghast at the failure of the police to act in the face of open lawlessness. Appeals to Shank were fruitless. He either would not or could not control his own police department. Rioting continued unabated for three days and nights until it naturally wore itself out in its own fury. On the third day while Mayor Shank was attempting to explain to a citizens’ safety committee why he had so miserably failed in maintaining law and order, he received word that the street car barns were about to be charged by a mob of 3,000, and armed men on the inside had orders to shoot if the police failed to protect them. Shank threw up his hands and cried like a baby, calling out in his frenzy, "What will we do? What will we do?” at a time when only strong men could be of use. i When the teamsters’ strike was threatened some days later, Shank resigned his office rather than try to enforce the law and protect the city as he had sworn to do. Indianapolis does not want a “quitter” for a mayor again. ' Republicans may save Indianapolis by voting for Boyd M. Ralston for Mayor. Remember that terror-period eight years ago with Shank as mayor and join the \ i Republican Movement for Ralston
