It looks as if Senator Vardaman of Mississippi is the real President of the United States, at least that he is dictating the reactionary jimcrow policy which has President Wilson bound hand and foot. Years ago, many Afro-Americans who felt secure in their rights minimized the power of Vardaman when he was making his "white man" campaign and said that it would never be possible for such a creature as he to influence the policy of this great government, but now we are face to face with the fact that Vardaman actually controls the government of the United States. He has just delivered to President Wilson his ultimatum that he will fight any "Negro nominations" to the bitter end. Vardman, who talks so much about a "white man's government" boasts of his Indian blood and it is also rumored that he has Negro blood in his veins and he certainly looks as much like a Negro as many men whom he calls "Negroes." If Woodrow Wilson is President, he ought to have the courage to treat every class of American citizens in accordance with the principles of the "New Freedom" of which he has written and talked so much. He swore to do it when he took his oath of office. He should order the discontinuance of segregation of the races in the government departments and he should nominate colored men for office and stand by his nominations by recess appointments until he wins. The cause for Vardaman's latest outbreak is the fact that Municipal Judge Robert H. Terrill is a candidate for reappointment. Judge Terrill was endorsed by 300 of the elowiers of Washington and 20 or more of the leading law firms wrote personal letters to the President in his favor, it being unanimously conceded that he is the best municipal judge in the city. He is also recommended by Attorney General McReymold. That all of the whites do not endorse Vardaman's ideas is shown in the following editorial from the St. Paul Dispatch: LET COLORED JUDGE STAY. President Wilson has a hard time of it placating the Southern fire-eaters who see red every time it is proposed to help the Negro. But he has gone far enough in that direction and public opinion will back him up in his apparent determination to reappoint Robert H. Terrell, a Negro, as municipal judge of the District of Columbia. The public will be the more anxious that Judge Terrell be continued in office because Senator Vardaman of Mississippi has served notice on the President that he will oppose the appointment. It is nothing to Vardaman that Terrell has served well as municipal judge. It is nothing to Vardaman that the retention of Judge Terrell in office will be an inspiration to other colored men in their struggle upward. Terrell is a a "nigger" and that damms him in Vardaman's eyes. If there could be a more narrow viewpoint than this, it has not been disclosed. Instead of condemning Terrell, Vardaman condemns himself and that section of the white race which, instead of encouraging the colored race, employs every means to keep the shackles on the Negro. Let President Wilson reappoint Judge Terrell. CONFUCIANISM IN CHINA. Confucianism has been made the state religion of China by the administrative council of the republic, although all religions are to be tolerated. It is understood that the president's intention is to set an example to the Chinese nation, which he thinks needs the moral influence of religion. The president will worship at the temple of Confucius and at the Temple of Heaven annually in the same way as the Manchu emperors did, but without wearing the diadem. One religion is as good as another and sometimes better and any old religion is better than the hypocritical force of Christianity as exemplified by Caucasian American Christians. Christianity is the state religion in many countries so it was rather presumptuous for the Christian missionaries to oppose the Chinese in having a state religion. The Chinese have acted wisely in having their own religion and not accepting the religion of the people who are doing everything in their power to degrade them. The opium traffic carried on by the British came near ruining the Chinese people, but England's aristocrats had to have the gold even if each coin represented a Chinese soul. Many alleged Christian nations, including the United States, have laws restricting Chinese immigration; Great Britain, an alleged Christian country, helped herself to Hong Kong some fifty years ago, Russia, an alleged Christian nation, gobbled up Manchuria; Germany, whose kaiser claims to rule by divine right, occupies a Chinese port; France, an alleged Christian nation, has appropriated a slice of Chinese territory and even little Portugal holds Macau. The shrewd Chinese realized that if they accepted Christianity they would at once be lowered in the estimation of the Christian world, that the Christians would probably proceed to enlarge their "spheres of influence" until their country would be Christianized out of existence. Wise Chinese! In whatever else 1913 was unhucky it was not in the matter of lynchings; for there were only 44 recorded, the lowest number of recent years, 250 being the highest. Of the number lynched only one was a white man. Nineteen of the victims were accused of murdering white men and four of killing white females. Attempted criminal assault was responsible for nine of the lynchings. Two were lynched for frightening white women, one for insulting a white woman, another for being found concealed under the bed in a woman's room. Two were lynched for shooting or assaulting white men, one for robbery and shooting, one for assisting an Afro-American murderer to escape, another for horse stealing. In one case the crime charged against the victim was not stated. The record is horrible enough, but it gives some hope that this favorite pastue of the southern whites is on the wane. Rev. Charles F. Aked, a clergyman of international renown, now located in San Francisco, has been asked to resign because he denies that Christ is God and doubts the immaculate conception. He backs up his statement by saying that there is no mention of the trinity in the New Testament. It is lucky that he did not live two or three hundred years ago for he would have been burned at the stake for his heresy. Dr. Aked does believe in the brotherhood of man and he has shown his interest in the downtrodden and oppressed of all races. That is of more value than the mere belief in moss-grown dogmas. Congress decided "not to offend Japan" and so the amendments offered to the pending immigration bill Tuesday were decisively defeated, thanks to Representative Mann of Illinois. They are very particular about Japan now-a-days. The amendments sought to exclude, "Mongolians, Malays and Negroes"—and they spelled Negroes with a small "n". --- THROUGHOUT his life, that was marked by many sorrows, Abraham Lincoln frequently expressed his sympathy, deep and sincere, for the poor and downrodden. It was his feeling for the slave that set his feet first in the path which led him to the presidency and to martyrry, visit which included the making of the famous speech in Cooper institute, he came most closely into contact with the very poor. The meeting took place in February, 1860. Its story is told as follows in "The Everyday Life of Abraham Lincoln": It appears that on the Sunday which Mr. Lincoln spent in New York city he visited a school in the notorious region called Five Points and there made a short address to the scholars. After his return to Springfield one of his neighbors, hearing of this, thought it would be a good subject for bantering Mr. Lincoln about and accordingly visited him for that neighbor was generally known as "Jim". Just as Lincoln was called "Abe". The following account of Jim's visit, furnished by Edward Eggleston, shows that he did not derive as much fun from the banter as he had expected; "He started for 'Old Abe's office, but, bursting open the door impressively, found a stranger in conversation with Mr. Lincoln. He turned to retrace his steps, when Lincoln called out, 'Jim, what do you want?' 'Nothing.' Yes, you do. Come back.' After some entreaty, Jim approached Mr. Lincoln and remarked, with a twinkle in his eye: 'Well, Abe, I see you have been talking about Sunday school children. What's the question?' Sit down, Jim, and I'll tell you about it. And with that Lincoln put his feet on the stove and began: "When Sunday morning came I didn't know exactly what to do. Washburn asked me where I was going. I told him I had nowhere to go, and he proposed to take me down to the Five Points Sunday school to show me something worth seeing. I was very much interested by what I saw. Presently Mr. Pease came up and spoke to Mr. Washburn, who intro- A. A. A. SCHL HE WAS REPEATING THE LITTLE SONG FROM MEMORY. duced me. Mr. Pease wanted us to speak. Washburn burglar and then I was urged to speak. "I remembered that Mr. Pease said they were homeless and friendless, and I thought of the time when I had been plucked by terrible poverty. And so I told them that I had been poor; that I remembered when my toes stuck out through my broken shoes in winter; when my arms were out at the elbows; when I shivered with the cold. And I told them there was only one rule. That was always do the very best you can. I told them that I had always tried to do the very best I could, and that if they would follow that rule they would get along somehow. That was about what I said. "And when I got through Mr. Pease said it was just the thing they needed. And when the school was dismissed all the teachers came up and shook hands with me and thanked me for it." "Just here Mr. Lincoln put his hand in his pocket and remarked that he had never heard anything that touched him as had the songs which those children sang. With that he drew forth a little book, remarking that they had given him one of the books from which they sang. He began to read a piece with all the earnestness of his great earnest soul. "In the midst of the second verse he then Jim felt a choking in his throat and a tickling in his nose. At the beginning of the third verse he saw that the stranger was weeping, and his own tears fell fast. Turning toward Lincoln, who was reading straight on, he saw the great, blinding tears in his eyes, so that he could not possibly see the pages. He was repeating that little song from memory. How often he had read it or how long its sweet and simple accents continued to reverberate through his soul no one can know." It is said that President Wilson wishes to show the Afro-Americans that he is not inimical to them. He can do it easily and without fear from the opposition of Vardaman. Mr. President, just pass the word down the line that there is to be no more segregation in the service of the United States government; revoke the separate toilet order and declare that Afro-Americans are to be treated just the same as other classes of Amer- that on the first day of January in the year of our dawn, one thousand eighty thousand and eighty three, all persons here as plains within any state or district of a state; the people whose shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be taken, those fronze, and forever free; MANIPULATION PROCLAMATION Man of the seeing soul, thou; man of the swelling heart, Chosen of God for sacrificing, cast for the noble part; Thou the lowbom's kinsman; thou, first of all the clan, Head of the House of Freedom and Fellowship of Man, With power to know and suffer, the power to feel and act; To live a life and give a life, to seal a solemn pact; Man of the hour, the moment; man of the years, all time; Man of the human instinct, of character sublime; Man in the darker shadows, man in the blazing light, Of tenderest emotions and of adamantine might; Man of the nation's crisis, man of the nation's need.

T was during a political campaign in Springfield, Ili; be springlight, Ill.; before the Lincoln in protected Edward D. Baker a mob which threatened to drag blim off the stand. "Baker was speaking in a large room," says Arnold, biographer of Lincoln. "reited and used for the court sessions, and Lincoln's office was in an apartment over the courtroom and communicating with it by a tradoor. Lincoln was in the courtroom, and through the open tradoor, when Baker, becoming excited, abused the Democrats, many of whom were present. A cry was raised, "Pull him off the stand!" "The instant Lincoln heard the cry, knowing a general fight was imminent, his athletic form was seen descending from above through the opening of the trapdoor, and springing to the side of Baker and waving his hand for comfort. Gentlemen, let us not disgrace the age and country in which we live. This is a land where freedom of speech is guaranteed. Baker his a right to speak. I am here to protect him, and no man shall take him from this stand if I can prevent it. Quelt was restored, and Baker finished his speech without interruption." A New Story of Lincoln. How General Thomas T. Eckert, former head of the Western Union Telegraph company, nearly lost his commission during the civil war was related on the witness stand during the trial of the contender over the general's will. The general Velt of New York quoted General Eckert as saying in 1862: "When I was an officer in charge of the telegraph bureau with the rank of captain Secretary of War Stanton called me to his office. He told me he had received advice that I was not attending to my duties and that my dismissal had been written out. He said, "I was standing speechless before him I felt a hand on my shoulder, and some one said; I vouch for Captain Eckert. I have had occasion to go to his office several times, and I always found him there." "It was Abraham Lincoln. Stanton broke the silence. I apologize to Captain Eckert' he said." Brig-Gen, John J. Pershing, former military governor of Mindanao, says that the Moros of the Philippine islands have been pacified and that they will be good unless someone attempts to interfere with the Mohammedan religion. There is no reason why Americans should attempt to convert the Moros. They have a good religion and they are too shrewd to accept the limcrow Christianity of the SOME SAYINGS OF LINCOLN.

The suggestion of a Lincoln memorial in London in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the fact that the great liberator is already memorialized in the British capital by the Lincoln tower at Churchchurch. The tower, 200 feet high, was built by Americans at the close of the civil war in appreciation of the sympathy extended by the Rev. Newman Hall and his congregation to the northern cause when public opinion in England was almost entirely on the side of the south. The stars and stripes are inwrought in the stonework of the tower, and the British Lion and American eagle adorn it. How would you like to own some stock in the Premier diamond mines of South Africa? They paid a dividend of 400 per cent for the first half and 850 per cent for the second half of 1913. President Wilson could end segregation in the departments with a single word. Will he have the courage to On October 16, 1912, Woodrow Wilson, then the Democratic nominee for President, declared that: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything in advancing the interests of their race in the United States." This statement completes satisfaction to those leaders the colored people and the friends of the race who were urging them to break away from their thraldom to the Republican party and to vote for the governor of New Jersey on the ground that governor of New Jersey would profit most by the election of a Democratic ticket. Qualified observers that many more colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. It was with dismay, therefore, that early in the Administration of Mr. Wilson, whose Cabinet is equally divided between Southerners and Northerners, there became noticeable in certain quarters a distinct hostility to people. For a long time no appointees were. Negroes were made by the President. He nominated Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma for the position of Register of the Treasury, a place long held by colored men. Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from those most violent negrophobes in the Senate. Hoke Smith of Georgia, Vardaman, Tillman of South Carolina, and others, declaring that Patterson should not be confirmed, or any other colored man, for an office which would put him over white women clerks. With Howardie Patterson rushed to the White House and demanded that his name be written as 'willing at this time to meet the issue raised. Mr Wilson consented to his request, unlike Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, who, under similar circumstances, put the responsibility on the Senate by continuing to nominate candidates for office and by giving the Senate appointments when the Senate was not in place. Instead, Mr Wilson appointed a Cherokee Indian as Register. * * * * When a group of citizens holds so few Federal offices as do the colored people, each one takes on a significance far beyond any question of the salary or powers that may be attached to. This is particularly true of the Postmaster to Hayti and San Domingo. Not the stock Southern objections to Negro institutions hold here; these ministers are accredited to colored people where the bogle of social equality cannot be raised. Under Mr. Wilson both of these posts have gone, temporarily, to the Postmaster and doubtless for reasons satisfactory to Negro men. The colored people at large accepted this as notice from the White House that the remaining offices herefore given to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this was, on top of it came the startling fact that the first time in the history of the department race prejudice was having full in some of the Departments at Washington. What had not been dreamed of under Mr. Cleveland, though begun in one office under Mr. Taft, was being attempted under Mr. Wilson—the segregation of Negro clerks, both men and women, it appeared that the Secretary of State planned to put Patterson at the head of theclusively colored division upon the plea to use Mr. McDadoo's own words —"that it would give the Negroes an opportunity of national dimensions, to prove their fitness to run, unaided by whites, an important bureau of the White House, just why this benefit undertaking has been so apparent as it appeared that an Indian and not a colored man was to head the division has not appeared; if it had all the merit claimed for it, the colored people should not have been deprived of the opportunity of collectively demoralizing the white men in the individual, has long been known to all familiar with the Government's operations. good enough to die alongside of white men in saving the day at San Juan Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people who are thus branded are not stoutabouts, or corpse eaters, or worthless laborers, but men, women and women, college graduates and women, from all over the country who have their civil service examinations and entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking merely the right to serve on equal terms with the reader of the North American Reptile understand the bitter humiliation of the segregation orders if they can imagine themselves set apart as unworthy by brute authority, but they can hardly appreciate the added sense that such comes from the fact that this is not the way Government. The colored people have borne as patiently as the children of Israel bore their burdens, the wrings of disfranchisement, the lynchings and burnings of innocent and guilty, the civilization of the "Jim Crow" car, the working, which struck their fetters in working, which should now take the side of the oppressors in the year of the fifth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation—this is what hurts and ranks one, if it is any wonder that one of the leaders of the national renown writes that he has never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as to-day. They rightly declare—as must every fair-minded man free from prejudice—that this spells caste. They believe that it is intended to drive them out of the public service by renaming it for "regardless with self-respect; they assert that the Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury has already held up the promotion of two colored clerks because of their color. Segregation is, beyond doubt, an entering wing, and here a precedent of significance of it all. Let a precedent of significance of it all shall say what the outcome will be, to what lengths despicotic officials will take their way by means of discrimination, intimidation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall prophesy to what extent this caste may be set apart contrary to the of the civil-service law and of the Constitution itself, why not others—Jews, for instance? * * * * * * * * * Indeed, it may come to pass that Mr. Wilson will go down to history as the milieu of the strong, forceful forces for evil without adequate reception or provision of the dangers he was inviting. What he does not see is that if only one colored man or woman has been segregated it gives the deliberrate lie to Mr. Wilson's promise to advance the interests of the race and violates his pledge of equality. The men who are inuring the President are the defenders of this Government's reputation for honor and of the rights of the colored people, but those subordinates who by their official actions have made dubious the President's word. Wittingly or unwittingly the Wilson Administration has allied it to the forces of reaction, and put itself in the eyes of every torturer, of every oppressor, of every persecutor of racial injustice in the South or the North. But the folly of raising this race issue does not stop there. It differs but very little from the one that rent the Union. The great struggle which convoluted the United States was, in its simplest form, the struggle of an aristocracy of cotton and land to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the free. They were willing to sacrifice the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the distranchised and the disfranchised, shall be two kinds of Government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—they are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never know peace and quiet as long as there are discriminations among its citizens. Upon their heads will be the responsibility of forging the issue. To oppress any one, to oppress the poor, to them full equality, is to court disaster. For each repression there is certain to come a terrible reckoning.
