THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Sixteenth Year. No. 47. THAT TROTTER INCIDENT --- WILSON AND THE NEGROES. President Wilson would have spared himself the annoyance of a loss of equanimity if he had refused to hear the delegation which wished to protest against the segregation of Negro employees of the government in Washington. He easily could have replied to the request for an audience that the matter was one of department and bureau administration in which he did not intend to interfere. Then the department heads would have had to do the stuttering and it would have been less important. By giving his opinion officially, even if not publicly, Mr. Wilson put the head of the government in the position of denying the principles of the government and his situation was awkward and not pleasant. The Negro question in the North of the United States generally is answered by a compromise between prejudice and an idealistic conception of pure right. In the South it is answered in any practical fashion that may be adopted by the whites. In both sections the situation is happiest when it is unexposed. Abstractly considered it is an impossible situation, but is has a knack of finding adjustments. Whites and Blacks manage to get along together in spite of every reason why they should not get along. Sometimes it almost seems that deferring a definite plan of adjustment is only deferring and magnifying the ultimate evil, but experience reveals that the question, unagitated, has a way of working itself out. President Wilson came very nearly establishing a national program of treatment to be given the Negro when he defended segregation. If that step is to be taken it certainly is a serious one and Mr. Wilson would be in better position if he were representing national rather than sectional sentiments. It may be admitted that segregation satisfies the prejudices and meets the practical ideas of a great majority of whites, north and south. The difficulty is that it does not meet the approval of at least the northern conscience. The ideal of equality in citizenship persists as one of the cherished ideals of American citizens and when a citizen, at least a northerner, finds that it has become inconvenient to defend or accept that ideal he becomes restless. Therefore theoretically he is always granting the Negro full rights and practically he always is denying them. And he is much happier when the question is not raised at all, when whites and blacks adjust themselves to each other by tolerance and reserve, by consideration of undoubted prejudices, by the simple process of slipping along somehow. In a fashion the question is more aggravated in the north than in the south. In the south the rule of white dominance is established and maintained without question. The north accepts the south's judgment as to its own necessities. In the north there is at least a theoretical concession that the Negro is fully established in all political and social rights. In the latter respect this is a fiction, although our laws maintain it true and the courts are supposed to enforce the law. We do not have much trouble in compromising and in the hope that the question has inherent in it its own solution, we are best satisfied when the situation is not irritated. Mr. Wilson did irritate it and to no purpose. He ought to have known that the nation does not know what to do and that he as the head of the nation had no authority to declare any principles or announce any programs. We are not ready to concede that any body of citizenship has less standing under the law than any other. It is true, but to admit it officially is offensive. Mr. Wilson could have avoided the interview and that was the only sensible thing he could have done. If the south wishes to make any such issue as this it will find that the north, where prejudice is violent, is nevertheless restless when as a part of the nation it is asked to declare that the main principle of the nation is a piece of hypocrisy and does not apply where it is inconvenient—Exchange. DENIES BEING IMPUDENT, INSOLENT OR INSULTING. Trotter, Who Offended President, Dictates Contradiction of White House Version of Incident. Speakers at a mass meeting of colored people, held at the Second Baptist church last night, denied that language which might be tenned "impatient, insulting and insolent," had been used in an interview with the President last week, at which a delegation of colored men protested against race segregation in the government department. Resolutions were adopted at last night's meeting in which the following was included: "We believe that this nation is passing through a physical and spiritual crisis, and that the issues of life and death will be decided ultimately when the people of the nation shall be called upon in the usual way to pronounce judgment for or against the responsible government at Washington in its unrighteous policy of discriminating against the citizenship of the country on account of race or color; a policy of discrimination that can, and will be, if adopted, extended indefinitely to the 101 race groups that compose the national population." The principal speaker was W. M. Trotter of Boston, who was rebuked by President Wilson for what the President termed language unbecoming on the part of one addressing the nation's chief executive. Mr. Trotter prefaced his remarks with the statement, dictated to the newspaper reporters present: "I emphatically deny that in language, manner, tone—in any respect, or to the slightest degree—I was impudent, insolent or insulting to the President." Other speakers were Thomas Walkins, chairman of the District branch of the Equal Rights League, who presided; Maurice W. Spencer, Judge E. M. Hewlett, Rev. W. Johnson, pastor of the church; F. Morris Murray, T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the Washington Sun, and Arnold Scott. —Exchange. Washington, D. C., Nov. 15.—The name of President Wilson was hooted and hissed by more than 500 Negroes at a mass meeting held here tonight as a protest against the president's avowed approval of race segregation in government departments. William M. Trotter, the Boston Negro who last week was invited to leave the White House and never return during Mr. Wilson's occupancy, was the principal speaker. Trotter frankly told the Negroes present he had the highest respect for the office of president, but little for the present occupant of that office. Following the meeting a resolution protesting against segregation was passed unanimously. Trotter opened his remarks by declaring that his audience with the president was obtained only after two years of effort. He assured the Negroes that he had not by his manner or time of speaking in the slightest way treated the president impudently, insolently, or disrespectfully. He said the president was wholly responsible for the publicity given the affair. Every time he mentioned President Wilson by name or as "the president" the audience went into a frenzy of passion, frequently hooting and hissing for several minutes. Trotter said he hoped the president's implication of insolence was not due to his southern birth. "I am confident," he said, "that the tone I used would not give offense to the governor of Massachusetts." Sava He Was Badly Treated. (Washington Star) Trotter Enfera Denial. --- Denies Being Insolent. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING NOV. 27, 1914. He declared he was denied the right of free speech at the White House and that the bad treatment, such as there was, was accorded him and not the president. The president according to Trotter, refused to discuss the question on its political ground at all, while Trotter believed those were the grounds to be discussed. If the segregation orders are allowed to stand, the speaker said, they would eventually result in the separation of the Teutons from the Slavs, as well as the blacks from the whites. He predicted a great upheaval, not only in the departments but throughout the country.—Exchange. --- President Wilson did not appear at his best in his recent conference with the delegation which appealed to him in behalf of the Negroes in the Government service. If, as is alleged, Mr. William Monroe Trotter of Boston, the spokesman of the committee, was guilty of an impropriety in making a reply to the President, then the President might well have used his discretion as to whether a rebuke was in order. But it does not seem obviously appropriate for the President of the United States to complain of the "intolerable burden" of his own office to Negroes who daily suffer burdens more intolerable, who come to the President with real grievances due to the President's own inaction in a moral crisis. (The President waives aside all reference to considerations of political support by Negroes as "blackmail," but the President before his election sought that support, and sought it with explicit promises which Negroes and others believe have not been kept. "Should I become President of the United States," he said during the campaign of 1912, "they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interest of their race in the United States." What the President has as yet done in advancing this interest he does not state; what he intends to do in the future he does not state. But he does express his unwillingness to introfere with Southern members of his Cabinet, who are segregating colored employees, setting apart Federal civil servants with Negro blood in them as though they were lepers, a humiliation which is bitterly resented by colored people throughout the country and deplored by thousands of high minded white people, opt one which the President finds words to condone. The President used fair words in 1912 in his appeal to the Negroes for votes. We know now that those words meant nothing. KANSAS CITY.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION Topeka is Mistreating Her Newly Acquired Citizens? Quite a stir is on in Topeka over the treatment accorded Mexicans by the authorities here, and if the federal government should happen to start an investigation some starting facts would be brought to light. Recently two of the city's policemen shot down a Mexican and made the claim that the man had shot at them and no sort of an investigation was made—not even an inquiry by the coroner. When cold blooded murders are perpetrated like this by the representatives of the law, how can foreigners be expected to show respect for the laws of the land? As a rule they practice what they learn by experience. 'We would like to know the make of the gun that this Mexican used in shooting at these officers and we should like to know how many empty shells were in that gun. When we know these things we can understand then how Mexicans can be taught to respect our laws and become law abiding citizens. Several Mexicans have been butchered in Topeka and as far as we know not a soul has answered in the courts for the crime. in the city, employed at the Home Pantatorium on N.

Sir: The interview of William Monroe Trotter and the delegation of cloaked gentlemen with the President of the United States brings forward again the burning question of the treatment of colored civil servants in Washington. The whole incident shows grimly and forcefully how deeply the colored people of this country feel the injustice which Mr. Wilson's government has inflicted upon them and still inflict. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been fighting segregation in federal departments ever since the first major of it was made public. Over a year ago an investigator was sent to Washington and a report printed Since that time a representative of the national association had kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one occasion this repressive appealed before the civil service committee and helped kill the bill of Edwards of Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana making segregation legal throughout the federal civil service. Much of the segregation has disappeared. When the U street station of the postoffice in Washington was abolished all the colored men employed lost their positions, but through the intervention of this association three of them were reinstated. When the bureau of engraving and printing moved to its new quarters it was the original idea to segregate colored and white people throughout the entire building, but through the efforts of this association there is no segregation in the lunchrooms or on the roof garden. Segregation, nevertheless, still exists in the Postoffice Department and in the Treasury. possibly here and there in a small degree in other places. It still remains true that for the first time in half a century a President of the United States and distinguished members of his Cabinet have deemed it necessary for the peace and quiet of these United States that clerks in the federal service, having passed the same examinations and receiving the same rate of pay, must be separated in their work if the ancestors of any of them had a drop of Negro blood. In some cases the "colored" clerks have been so white in appearance that the officials themselves have made mistakes in classifying them. In other cases clerks of all colors have protested against the attempted separation. Always the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. (Chairman Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) Held by Many Thinkers. "For this reason the idea, unpopular, to be sure, but still indicated by the facts, that the races in America are amalgamating is not unwelcome to many thinkers. Let me give you an example: A year ago at a public gathering I addressed an audience which was one third unquestionably Negro, another third unquestionably white, and the rest somewhere in between.

Edit: Chiles will soon pay a visit to southern Kansas and Oklahoma and then knowing themselves indebted to The Pardoner will please take notice that he will call on all and will expect all to pay part or all of what is due. The office is now at the place where it takes big money to operate and for the last year we have labored under great disadvantage to carry on our business. To issue from 9,000 to 10,000 papers a week, with from from 30 to 40 column of reading matter, with from 6 to 10 clerks, printers, etc., to pay requires no small outlay of money. Now, if one or two people owe a year's subscription or even two or more years we could live in clover; but when those who owe us run up into thousands we find hard "pickings" at times and the encouragement that we should receive seems far in the future.

Miller and Bradford Miller had in the Negro race in general and the institution in particular, during their life time. This program will be rendered at the school Sunday afternoon and will be addressed by Representative Robt. Stone and Attorney Jas, H. Guy; additional remarks will be made by W. W. Mills, J. B. Larimer and other members of the board of control of the school. The choir will render special selections and the entire school is to sing the quaint pla tion melodies. "Swirg Low Sweet Charlot" and "Steal Away to Jesus," these being the especially favorites of both Senator Miller and Bradford Miller. Beginning at 3 o'clock the overcises will be held in the auditorium of Bradford Miller hall. The general public, and especially persons interested in the uplift of the colored people, have a cordial invitation to be present. COLORED PHYSICIAN HONORED. Dr. Wm. J.

J. Brooks, the artist, who has been appointed to the clerkship in the hospital. Both are worthy men and no doubt will be credit to them as ardent and brave. The Churches ASHBURY M. E. CHURCH. (Rev.

The Ladies' Aid Society was entertained by Mrs. Turpin Friday afternoon, 841 N. Tyler. Mrs. Chambers presented a quilt to it which she made for the Ladies' Aid.

(Shade - no fog) Dear Editor: After the high praise for your excellent paper that is keeping us posted and giving us the essential things in state and church, we who live across the bridge congratulate you for being the man of the hour. Just keep driving your quill. it is the only way to raise the race to a higher standard and awaken them to a some of duty upon all lines in church and state. It takes care with courage to do things in this day of hate, blood-shed, touch and segregation. If all of us as a race could awake and see ourselves as segregated and "Jim Crowed" from a religious standpoint, then tip our hat and bow our heads, then bid our superior? belongs a pleasant afternoon, we could recognize the stat on where we are supposed by the other fellow to get off; but when we stand on a platform of equality of manhood with the nation standing from goes to a premium, and we must be on our guard if we would hold our place. We must put forth every energy that goes to make up a man before we can boast of true race pride. What is next? Why, a great carnival is coming to North Topeka on Tuesday, Dec. 1, to continue until the 5th. The tents will be stretched at St. Mark A. M. E. church and gra tinies are expected. The rally at St. Mark closed last Sunday with a net result of $150 00 — a sum we consider phenominal for the condition of our people and the small membership; but we are in the battle for the Lord and He showed us mercy and gave us the victory. For this, great success special praise must be given to Mrs. Corneal, Mrs. Hardison, Mrs. Jordan, Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Duncan, Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Patton and Miss Ethel Woldridge.

OCCASIONALLY the manage ment of the "APEX" is fortunate enough to obtain productions that stand out high above the usual run of film. This is not reflecting upon the regular programs. In "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN" they secured a strong portrayal of the famous old story by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which contributed so powerfully to the nation's history. Many stage versions of this great story have been seen again and again. But now comes the opportunity to see the play acted out on the very ground described in the book. Mr. Wm. R: Daly, the producer has followed the book rather than the stage version, has used fine discrimination in depicting pathos and has employed many colored players in the production. He was particularly happy in his selection of Uncle Tom, choosing Sam Lucas, the seventy two year old Negro actor who has for years been before the American public. He is the center of interest throughout the picture. His work is dignified and sincere. The entire cast is splendid, Irving Cummings, Boots Wall, and the "Than houser Kid" being among the players. It is no stage ice on which Eliza crosses the river, the real article being there in adundance. The at mostphere of the South during the ante bellum days and the spirit of the author are finely and seriously reflected. It is believed that the patrons of the Apex will welcome this not be set in portrayal and that like thousands in the larger cities who have already seen it, they will be more than pleased with it. MORE NEGRO WOMEN IN THE COUNTRY THAN NEGRO MEN. A bulletin on the Negroes in the United States will be issued soon by William J. Hattie, Director of the Census, Department of Commerce which will contain all the principal information obtained through the census of 1910, and a listing this information will be shown that there were 1,885,891 Negro males in the United States, as compared with 1,941,882 Negro women, the number of males to 100 females thus being 98.9, as compared with a ratio of 100 for the whites. The Negroes were the only race in the United States in which there were more females than males, giving every hundredth man a second choice for a wife. THE SANTA FE DE LUXE The fourth anniversary of the Santa Fe de-Luxe will be celebrated on January 5, 1915, when the first de Luxe train of the season will --- leave Chicago for Los Angeles. Although only four years old this coming January it still is extremely busy infant and is rapidly gaining in popularity, according to J. A. Connett, general passenger Agent of the A. T. & S. P. Advance reservations of space well into January, have already been made. It is operated once a week in the winter time for those who like superior service and are willing to pay for it. "It provides a long feet want," says sir. Connell, "and is supplementary to our California Limited which runs every day in the year. The Santa Fe is not selling speed in connection with the de Luxe, but service. More extra time trains in the East are operated with the idea of making the quickest time possible. The Santa Fe de Luxe, when it is one of the fastest trains from Chicago to Los Angeles, making the run in about 6 hours, is primarily a train or service, with barber, valet, manicure and stenographer as typical contents; there are also baiting facilities; stock market reports are handy; and the most world news is provided in the depot facilities. Instead of the usual station of sending waiters unless in the train calling the hours at which means are served, the steward in charge quietly announces this fact to each passenger as the meal proceeds." The equipment is all steel and consists of a ten section observation pullman, two all drawing-om Pullmans, one compartment Pullman, a Fred Harvey dump car and a buffet library car. A r which the passengers breathe is automatically washed and cooled. An extra fare of $25 is charged. William H. Austin, Plaintiff, vs. M. F.

TRAINMEN REJOICE Dear Editor: Please permit us, in behalf of the Santa Fe train portorm to thank the several clergymen of the two Kansas Cities for the loyal support and earnest efforts put forth in the recent election, to defeat the Ninth Amendment, known as the "Full Crew Bill." Had this bill become a law, several hundred colored men now employed in the rail way service throughout the state of Missouri, would have been thrown out of employment just as they were in the states of California. Arizona and several others, some years ago. It is with pleasure that we point with pride to the number of rail road officials who went to the front and fought this bill in western country through the newspapers, that it might be known that they had no desire to discriminate against a race on account of its color, and whose fathers fought and died to uphold the Constitution of Untied States. Again, we regret that such an unfair and discriminating proposition was offered, by our white brothers in the service, and it behooves us as a race, to stand together and watch those who are prejudiced against us on account of our color. We must ever remember that, "United we stand, divided we fall." C. A. Fox, M. J. Fortner, N. C. Gerren. According to the census bulletin to be issued soon the number of Negroes in the United States (exclusive of outlying possessions) in 1910 was 9,627,763, and they formed 10.7 per cent of the total population. In 1900 the number of Negroes was 8,833,994, or 11.6 per cent of the total population of that date. The increase among the Negroes during the decade was 993,769, or 11.2 per cent, as compared with an increase 29.8 per cent among the native whites and of 30.7 per cent among the foreign born whites. The growth of the Negro population results from their own natural increase, while the growth of the white population is accelerated by the great influx of immigrants and the high birth rate in immigrant families. Of the total number of Negroes in 1910 about one fifth were reported as mulatto; that is, as having some white blood. The proportion that 1890 and to 20.9 per cent in 1910. cent in 1870 to 15.2 per cent in population increased from 12 per mulattoes formed of the total Negro ROOMS:—Mrs. Amelia Allen conducts a fine rooming house at 1328 East 14th street, Kansas City, Mo.
