JUSTICE, NOT OFFICES. ‘The Detroit Informer comes out in defense of President Wilson and thinks that the AntiSegregation Dele- gation which presented a monster petition bearing the signatures of 20, 000 Afro-Americans acted hastily. ‘The Informer further says that there “are other questions of more importance pending engrossing his (the President's) attention than the appointment of members of the race to office.” THE APPEAL believes that {t is al ways right to protest against wrong and injustice and the time to protest {s when the wrongs and injustices are being perpetrated. ‘The President is the head of the Nation and he does hot need the assistance of a single per son to stop segregation. It would not matter if every member of Congress objected to his decision, a single word from him would stop it instantly, THE APPEAL has read. the pett tion, Mr. Trotter's speech as chairman of the delegation, and all the matter Pertaining to the petition and there 1s not one word about the appointment of Afro-Americans to office. ‘The ob- Ject of the petition is to end a con dition of affairs which is a disgrace to a country which, calls itselt a Chris tian democracy. ‘The Informer seems to be very much worrled about appointment te oftice but tant is of little consequence in comparison to the greater question whether caste is to be introduced inte this country and if Afro-Americans are to be appointed to office with the un derstanding that they are to segregate their employes THE APPEAL doe: not hesitate to say that a colored mar who would accept any appointment with such conditions attached woul be lower than the vilest reptile tha crawls upon ie earth, It 18 of course proper then. tha President Wilson should give the ‘Afro-American representation in pres! ‘Mential ofces and that matter shoul be taken up later, but the matter now Sn hand is segregation and that is'th matter to be handled first. ‘The 20,000 Afro-Americans who have Joined together to agitate this ques- Ulon of inequality and wrong are fight Ing for @ great principle.

Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. Z. church, a prominent Afro. American leader in the Democratic party, inan open letter flatly denies that he ever endorsed segregation in any shape or form, ‘He says that the statement that he favored an all-colored Register of the Treasury office is absolutely false. And he tells -his defamera to write te Secretary McAdoo and ask him. about the matter,” ‘The last paragraph in his statement is strong: “I say once and for all that I have Rever endorsed segregation In any de- partment and never will. Do you thing I have lost my senses and my interest in my race? 1 would die be- fore 1 would betray my race.” ‘That's the right sort of talk. ~ Now let us hear from the other leaders who have been charged with endors- ing simcrowism, MOHAMMEDANISM SPREADING. A Berlin correspondent writes that Mohammedanism is gaining more proselytes than is Christianity, among the natives of the African colonies and tribes that once professed tho latter are now relapsing into the former. ‘The result Is the most natural thing in the world. ‘The missionary is stuffed full of color prejudice, he accepts his calling because it fs the best job in sight, and he cares nothing for the native, but holds him in utter contempt as a “nig- ger.” ‘The native im a short time’ learns to care nothing for the missionary, because he discovers that he Is a hypocrite and a fraud, He repays his contempt in kind. ‘A man who 1s saturated with Amer ican race prejudice Is a very poor specimen of Christianity and is no ‘needed by the natives. It seems that the fate of the Titanic passengers who were lost through in- adequate life-saving apparatus has not had sufficient effect upon the law mak- ers and the executives of the law to cause them to safeguard human lives. The terrible disaster of the Volturno ought to start afresh methods to pro- tect seagoing passengers. Affidavits have been made by survivors of that “hell ship” stating that many of the officers and crew were drunk, life boats were rotten, life preservers also rotten and not supplied with proper straps, life boat chains rusty and could not be lowered from the davits, ete. More stringent laws should be made for the safeguarding of human lives. ‘The employers of the United King- dom are forming a new union and pro- Dose to raise a guarantee fund of $2,- 500,000 in order to protect themselves against strike movements by the trade ‘unions and other labor organizations. Certainly a good move for the biggest trust on earth 1s the labor unfon as it now is. ——— ‘Would you think that $20,000,000 worth of toys have been maile in this ‘country, or will be made before this year is out, and $9,000,000 will be im- Ported? That's what Ja claimed as the record breaker for the year. TREATED “sLEPERS Startling Effects of Segregation as Shown. by Report of N. A. A.C.P, Investigation 1S THIS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY 2. Victims of Goyermment’s New Ar- rangement Eliminated as Com-' petitors; Get What No One Else Wants The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has made public the report of a special agent sent to Washington to investi fate the segregation of white and col red employes in government depart ments. ‘The investigation was made as the result of many complaints and inquiries. ‘The association has twenty branches throughout the country, Moorfield Storey of Boston is president and Os wald G. Villard of New York, chair man of the board of directors, which includes, among others, Miss Jans Ad dams and Miss Lillian’ D. Wald, From Agent’s Report. | - “The effect of segregation,” says the feport, "is startling. "Competition has been eliminated. Those segregat ed are regarded almost as lepers and ‘get wat no one else wants. Sesrega Hon in work has been effected 80 far without official orders. Generally. the excuse is a readjustment of work to increase efficiency, Taking up individual departments, the report says: “In the miscellaneous and_examin- ing division of the bureau of engrav. ing and printing, workers have been paired according to race. In the dead- letter office of the Postoffice Depart. ‘ment colored employes have been ses. regated back of a row of lockers in a corner of the room. In fact, in this department, segregation practically amounts to’ elimination, “In the Treasury building colored clerks have not yet been segregated, but it seems to be understood that as many as possible are to be segregated in the registry division, Skilfully Worked Out. “In the office of the auditor for the postofce, segregation seems to have been most skilfully worked out. In one room colored men operate what is known as the ‘gang punch’ and in another the force working at the ‘as- sorting machines’ is entirely colored, “In the bureau of engraving and printing, the lunchroom assigned to the colored women is unsanitary. In the Postoffice Department there Is no lunchroom at all for colored help. In the office of the auditor for the post- office, the colored women were taken from light and airy rooms and placed in an unpleasant alcove. In the dead letter office, where the colored work: ers have been grouped back of a Tow of lockers, the part of the room chosen is least desirable, “As far as could be ascertained, only one official has given the colored people an opportunity to express thelr opinion..of the policy of segregation, Arrangements for segregation had been made in one of the divisions of the pension bureau, but when the chief of the division learned that the colored employes were opposed to seg. Fegation, he gave them an upportuntty io vets‘ om. the matter. ‘They were unanimous in their opeasition,” URGE RIGHTS OF NEGROES~ Speakers at Celebration of Emancipa tion Tell Race to Unite een a ee in Firm Stand, Pleas for Negroes to stand up for their rights and to strive to overcome the projudice against them among the whites were made by speakers at the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation last night in Arcanum hall. More than 400 Negroes were present. Pending legislation in Congress pro- viding for the segregation of the Ne- groes in Washington was condemned Vigorously and at the close of the meoting resolutions were passed unan- imously opposing the measure, Jullus A.

C., November 8—A delegation of colored citizens repre- senting the National Independent Po- Utical League, bearing a protest and petition directed against race segre- gation in the government service, vis- ited the Preident on Thursday,” and had an audience with him. The pett tion bore about twenty thousand sig- natures, from 38 States, mostly color ed people, about equally divided. be- tween the South and the North. ‘The delegation was introduced by Con- Sreesman Thatcher, of Massachusetts, ‘The delegation was composed of W. Monroe Trotter of Boston, Rey. Dr. Byron Gunner of Hillburn, N. Y., President of the League, Dr. William A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, W. Mau vlee Spencer of Delaware, Thomas Walker of District of Columbia, ¥F. HM. Murray of Virginia, and Mrs, Ta Wells Barnett of Chicago. W. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, was spokesman. He made an extended statement and gave instances of discrimination which had been discovered and insisted that these were calculated to “humiliate and degrade our race and bring {t into scorn and contempt,” and_ that it was all the worse sines it is belng done under authority of the National government. ‘The Presidént was impressed by ‘the protest and commented on its ‘strength and stated that it was de- ‘serving of, and should receive, care- ‘fal consldération. |The delegates said that the Prost dent seemed at first inclined to doubt if the matters complained of had any official sanction. But he was handed /@ copy of an order issued by the audl- tor for the Ifiterior Department which explicitly ordered separation on ac- count of color. in lavatories. Other orders of similar import which had been Sssued tn other bureaus were em: bodied in the matter lett with the President, He then stated that per- ‘haps he was not well posted on. the |matter. He said that he would go Anto the mattsr thoroughly and would “endeavor to find a solution satistac tory to all concerned, and gave as- surance that segregation had not been decided upon as an administration policy. | jm thelr protest the spokesman ot the delegation instated that it was the principle of segregation that was objected to and not the matiner in which it was administered. He quot- ed a letter written by Mr. Wilson be- fore election as follows: ‘Tt {a my earnest wish to see Jus- “tle done colored, people in every mat- ter, and not mere grudging. justice, but Justice executed with Mberality nd cordial good feeling, Every. prin- ciple of out Constitution comfoands this, and our sympathles should also make it easy,” Commenting on this the’ petitioners: said to the Pres{dent: ‘Fairer words wero never written ‘and thelr readers. could not possibly have expected their author to coun- tenance the institutiom. of any new policy in his own branch of the Gov- ernment, how admittedly tiased on ra- clal predjudice, against them; a policy of caste which no president would dare even hint for citizens of any of the many other racial extractions which make up our heterogeneous population.” ‘The petitioners laid particular stress upon the order of Secretary McAdoo requiring separate eating tables, and on the segregation in the auditor's room of the Postofiice Department, the Navy, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and elsewhere. “Necesalty,” says the petition, ‘‘can not be pleaded as an excuse for this affront and in- jury. ‘Afro-Americans and other American employees have been work- ing together, eating at the samo ta- bles, and using the samo lavatories and toilets for two generations. ‘They have worked in peace and harmony and the Government's business has been well executed. Some of the very Afro-American clerks taken from rooms where Americans of other an- cestries worked, or from seats in Jux- taposition thereto, have worked for twenty-five and thirty years. ‘They aid so through two Democratic Ad- ministrations. ‘These Democratic Ad- ministrations were nearer the aboll tion of slavery of Africans than yours, Mr. President. ‘The same efforts to inaugurate this segregation in Govern. ment service were made under your illustrious predecessor, thg late Presi dent Grover Cleveland, “and were stopped by his order, as wo trust they ‘will be in short order by yourself.” At a mass meeting under the aus pices of the League on Friday night which packed the largo Nineteenth ‘Street Baptist Church, the delegatior ‘made a full report. ‘At this mecting it was urged tha the sending in of signed petitions b continued. It was also advised tha letters of protest be sent to congress men and senators by colored eltizen: everywhere. SQUELCH THE HOODLUMS. Before They Have Us All Squelched In Public Places. It will be remembered that the last entertainment of the Younz Men's Progressive Club of Minneapolis was given in the National Guard Armozy ‘and everything went op smoothly. un- til some hoodlum youths if St. Paal made trouble. Now, it is stated on good authority, the custodian af the Armory has declared that Afro-Amer- fans’ cannot rent the hall. again. ‘These same hoodlums and others of their ilk have brought the whole peo: ple into disrepute because of their Gisreputable actions.” ‘These same hoodlums or others who have uo re- gard for decency or decorim have on ‘many occastons in St. Paul, at the halls and churches, acted outrageously. every one knows. They should be Squelched. ‘They should be barred from every public place until they learn to behave themselves and not bring disgrace and. deprivation upon the whole Afro-American population of the Twin Cities, ‘The managers of public places should learn to know these <isreput- ables and refuse to admit them to any Dublle meeting or place of pleasure. ‘They must be squelched. y WILLIAMS-ALLEN. ‘On Monday evening, November 10, Miss Myrtle Allen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Allen of St. Paul, was united fn’ marriage to Mr. Walter Williams in Sioux City, Towa, where they will make thelr future home at 2406 Hamilton. street, COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS PEIN Ne IER eee SS aes ag = rims ~ fateh, > As TS as a ee base eet a eee gree VRS 6s, 20 eae ic A Ne Oe ECS TEE ‘Knowles Baliing, Boys’ Hall Gtone Hall.

Business methods have changed all that now. You buy gas and electricity, use them the year 'round, and pay for them in monthly installments. Why not clothing? We sell the latest modes in men's and women's garments and take our pay in small amounts, by the month. Our sales rooms on the second floor are the pleasantest in the city—more privacy than in an ordinary store—and you are made welcome. Is very exhilarating but somewhat tiresome.
