Colorphobia Rears More and More Audaciously Its Oblious Head. EACH RACE RESPONSIBLE Whites Guilty of Unconscionable Aggressions—Blacks, of Pitiful Acquiescence—The Case of Hodgson—Even the Ministers of the District Draw Color Line. SHEET Correspondence of THE AGE. WASHINGTON. March 18.—The freest place for the Afro-American in caster-ridden America ought to be the National Capital. But it is not. Washington is a Southern city in respect to color prejudice. Here, in spite of equal laws, the lines which separate the races are hard and fast. The line of division runs through the schools, churches, theaters, restaurants and hotels. On one side of this line are Afro-American schools and churches, and on the other, white schools and churches. The line passes through the theatres in the main, where Afro-Americans are oploughed or "jim-crowed." From restaurants and hotels this same line shuts them out entirely. They might be strangers in the city, as were hundreds during Inauguration week, without food or place to lay that heads, yet for them no eating house or hotel, and because of the odds any more than they had for the wild animals at the Zoo. Strange to say, this outrageous state of things exalts to day and has existed without the slightest color of law to support it, for a quarter-century. Indeed, the court has been so insistent on the Civil Rights bill, which was overruled by the Supreme Court and declared inoperative in respect to the several States, remains in full force and effect, on paper at least, in the District of Columbia and in the state of Texas. When then, does it happen that the Civil Rights law of the Republic falls in practice in this city, the capital of the Nation? For two sufficient reasons mainly: the attitude of the whites in relation to its enforcement, and that of the blacks. Which the Court has not consented to, but defeat its equal operation by an unequal administration of its just provisions. The blacks have positively acquiesced in the injustice, have submitted quietly to an inquisitive situation in which the blacks have been guilty of quiesce, and to which no liberty-loving people ought tamely to submit: The result of this aggression on the part of one race, and submission on the part of the other, is seen to-day in the steady in crease of Negrophobia in Washington. It has been heard, in many places, in unlooked for directions. There has been heard; not once but many times of late, a voice calling for the separation of the races in the street cars of the District. Indeed, the "Jim Crow" car is no stranger in the capital. Street cars running between Alexandria and this city drive here every day in the year and every day in the year steam railroads running into Maryland and the South do likewise. Every day white and Afro-American people are growing more and more accustomed to the colossal race discriminations. The whites are thus being prepared to make the race the rights of the blacks, and the blacks are being prepared at the same time and by the same means for still other deprivations, for the most abject submission to theoke of social inferiority and inequality. Unless this "Jim Crow" invade Iowa cars running from Chicago to South Boulder is fought and checked at the boundary of the District of Columbia, an attempt will be made at no very distant time to introduce the "Jim Crow" feature on the street railway line of the capital of the Nation. Will the colored people of the District ever awake to their danger and to the pressing need of determined, concerted action, to ever learn that "who would be free themselves must strike the blow"? At the lunch-counters in government buildings no discrimination on account of color is practiced. But even in this respect there seems to be an exception, which has been established to a certain extent at the lunch counter and restaurant of the District Court or Court House of the District. It appears that Afro American members of the and other Afro American patrons are admitted to the lunchroom but are excluded almost invariably from the restaurant where white men and women are accommodated. This custom has grown up with the acquiescence of the Afro American patrons, for, when they wish to be admitted to the lunchroom, the restaurant of fellow in the restaurant has been, I am told like angels visits, few and far between. So they themselves help to draw the color line against themselves, to establish "Jim Crow" conditions for the race in the District. It is too late to shut the stable door after the horse has got out. The best time to fight the establishment of Jim Crow customs and conditions is when they want to take body and form. An source of prevention in such matters as in all others is of more value to us than pounds of cure. guard, and wrote to Director Higgins a report of the case. She obstructed hag report "In English restoring this meeting film Cunning called on students to write sentences illustrating correct usage of words and phrases. He used a hand, asking specifically the persuasion to illustrate the use of the word 'tables'. His sentence was, written on the blackboard, in full view of the class and with a smile: 'I will be here to answer questions (Here the sentence is given.)' "From my knowledge of the boy and of his attitude of disrespect of authority and institution, and from my conviction that he was not well-educated, denominating to the boys our public schools, I have to-day expended Mr. Hodgson from the Western High School. I further recommend that you report this matter to the board of education, and that you give me the education for the expulsion of this student from the high schools of Washington." Director Hughes proceeded therefore to confer with the Superintendent of schools, and together they decided that the boy should be reinstated. And so the following letter was sent to Miss Westcott by the Director of High Schools: "I have gone over Reginald Hodgson's case again and again since you reported it to me. I do not think the matter calls for dismissal from schools, although I recognize the fact of the accumulation of offences, as well as the vulgar and imprecatory language used last. If the boy applies to you for re-statement kindly send him to me." The real reason of Superintendent Stewart and of Director Hughes for overruing the action of Miss Westcott, it seems, is the inability of the school authorities to separate the insult to the President from that to the Afro-Americans. The Superintendent desided the NJ. Board of School Trustees could punish the first by expulsion, but not the second. For to punish this vulgar insult to the Afro-Americans might be misunderstood by the South, might be interpreted as an indirect approval of the bigaboo social equality between the races Of course, these two school officials could no measure lend themselves and theirs to the white race, the President of the United States to the contrary not withstanding. Will the matter be brought before the School Board? And, if so, will Board confirm the action of the principal or that of the Director of High Schools in this case. In the meantime we have our eyes on Director Hughes. We do not trust him. We have had mighty weighty reasons to follow his action not only in this case, but in other cases, with suspicion, with very grown suspicion, his opinion of the thinking Afro-Americans of Washington. For this situation the uniform conduct of Mr. Hughes as director of High Schools seems largely if not wholly responsible. "The true 'plty; and peril' is true." She wrote the above, the Board of Education has met and decided to confirm the action of Director Hughes in the premises to throw down the Westcott, the brave principal of the Georgetown High School, and indirectly to vitiate the Board's everlasting honor be it recorded that this action of the Board was taken against the stubborn, highminded, and vigorous resistance of Gen. Boynton and of Mrs. John K. Francis, members of the board of education. Have we now resumed this disagreeable indole? We shall see.

Special Correspondence of THE NEW YORK AGE ATLANTA, GA, March 30.—Nestling in a bed of the Chattahoochee river, twenty two miles north of Atlanta as the crow flies, sits the pictureque village of Roswell, once the home of President Roosevelt's mother and named after Roswell King, a wealthy relative of here. It is situated six miles from the main line of the Southern Railway from Washington to Atlanta, and is connected with that road by a branch line. Like the majority of small Southern towns, it is noted for its absence of hurry, its inhabitants being content to take life as they find it without uuidence excitement, yet, with, they are a prosperous and wide awake people. The town is built up around a square, with substantial buildings, most of them being only one story high. On the outskirts are factories that give employment to quite a number of people and present a scene of activity in contrast to the quiet of the square of town. To one standing in the suburb, the town presents a most pleasing appearance, with evidences of thrift and prosperity on every hand. Such is, in brief, a sketch of the place that was once called home by the mother of our present Chef Executive and where she, of the most popular belles of the State, was married and became Mr. Roswell. A pleasing reception will be accorded the President when he visits Roswell, as he has signified his intention of dof. In for all the Piedmont accession there is not a more hospitable people than the citizens of this model Georgia town. He will be as safe from insult and harm as he positions himself as he is located in the United States. While the people probably will not be demonstrative, they will nevertheless, be sincere in the cordial handshake and welcome extended him. The spirit of friendliness obtains in the town and is even manifest in the treatment extended to the Afro-Americans living in and adjacent to it. Indeed, the newspapers are never called on to chorelate under a Rose The Afro-Americans, for they are a lyrical The Afro-Americans, for they are a lyrical The kindly spirit exhibited toward them and are law abiding and in dustrious. It is but natural that the President should desire to visit the place. When he does so he will be delighted with its attractiveness and the friendship of the people, and besides will be given an oppor-tunity to engage in the business. Gorgia has famously noted for their cotton and other products. If his trip is made in June or July he will gaze on uncounts of acres of green-growing cotton stalks, while if it is timed for the fall, he will find the fields verily "white unto harvest." In either event he will find something to long and write much to prove that the purest Anglo-Saxon blood exists in the South. An to the truthfulness of this assertion I know little, being identified with and particularly interested in another race; but it has not escaped my observation that he is found, is capable of showing, and most generally does show, befitting deference to those in high station. It is therefore a safe proposition that when President Roosevelt makes his Southern tour he will be given a welcome in keeping with the high point of his career. In the wilds of the Texas woods or in the heart of any of the buoy and pro-gressive cities of "The New South." To be sure there have been differences of opinion with reference to executive acts, and those differences have been dwell on at considerable length, but in the actual presence of the Chief Executive they have been forgotten for the time being at least. A great big bomb has been exploded in the Republican political camp in Georgia by the appointment of F. Carter Tate, ex Democratic Congressman from the ninth Georgia district, to the position of United States District Attorney for the northern district of Georgia, displacing E. A. Anger, who has held the place for eight years. At first, it was that the President had made a mistake, but when all the facts are known it will stand as a very wise piece of judgment on the part of the President, who seems to keep well posted generally on affairs in all parts of the country. There was likely to have ariens considerable bickering on the part of several Republican applicants for the place, none of them any better lawyers than Mr. Tate, and all of the others their country to the well added so much manum. The President has, to my way of thinking, very wisely averted this. Apropos of the deposing of the incumbent, E. A. Angier, it might be mentioned that he was the official who in the face of the written request of the entire Republican committee of the State refused to appoint H. L. Johnson, a well-known African-American his alleged reason being that the appointment of Johnson would be distasteful to the white; whereupon Johnson proceeded to obtain endorsements from some of the leading members of the bench and bar of his home city and of the State. It so happens that the colored attorney was known and equaled by the judge of his town for his ability and good character. Many of them endorsed him, and there was very little like blood of any objection being made to his appointment. It pleased the District Attorney, however, to turn him down. Of course he had a right to do so and Johnson was not guilty of the proverbial "treat." Now it comes the district attorney's time to be let down and, not until he had been in eight years with a salary of All of which is suggestive, to say the less of it, and will be better investigated. It will be noted that the special makes use of the language: "The reasons given for the strike are many." The theory bangs the story. Within the last ten years the question of labor in the south has been the subject of considerable agitation. The great bulk of heavy work had been placed on the broad shoulders of the Afro-American, or for those who should be employed, for those who should be to do and since circumstance and conditions seemed insistent that he alone should do it? To dig the swarms, to sweep the streets, to build the railways, to plow the fields and in great measure to erect the buildings seemed designiously to fall to his lot. The duty was accepted with an avidity and real that are shown by actual experience. The grubber because this portion falls to his lot, but set about it with the strength of his hands tried to the song from his throat. There was satisfaction and never a murmur, though the hours were long and the pay not large. In the city nothing was allowed to come between him and his job: in the country he worked by day though the white-capter rode by night. He worked with his wife and self and his loved ones and was gradually accumulating a surplus that would stand him in good stead and serve as a set-off against the dreary day of the future. Then the voice of the calamity hower was heard in the land. It told all of sorts of evil in allowing the Negro to be regarded as the chief labor factor; it predicted that in a short time he would become calm when the arrogant and warlike Afro-American labor would interfere. It will all upon the argument that Afro-American labor was inferior and should be dispensed with. The result was the attempt as importing foreign labor. There is a world of meaning in the last two sentences of the special above quoted, because the condition of the Afro American labor is not in many places of the Boor's land to be. Poughkeepsie News.
