According to the Associated Press dispatches of Thursday: "President Wilson, while receiving a delegation of Colored men who came to the White House to protest against segregating the races in government departments, objected to the tone adopted by their spokesman, W. M. Trotter of Boston, and told the committee that if it called on him again it would have to get a new chairman. The president added he had not been addressed in such a manner since he entered the White House." If Mr. Trotter's manner was such as to irritate the President he certainly made a grave mistake. Mr. Wilson is head of a great nation and his office should be respected. Any individual ought to be more careful of his manner when addressing the President of the United States than if he was speaking to an ordinary individual. The President should be approached with logical argument and not overheated discussion. There are however two sides to the question. Perhaps the President himself was somewhat irritated because of the persistence of the delegation in trying to secure an audience and the further knowledge that the colored people had registered their protest against the Democratic party in the recent elections. The dispatch says further: "President Wilson replied he had investigated the question and had been assured there was no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings given to the colored people. He added he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been undertaken to avoid friction between the races and not with the object of injuring the colored people. The president said he was deeply interested in the race and greatly admired its progress. He declared the interests of the colored race would best be served by complete independence of white people and that he felt the white race was willing to do everything possible to assist them." THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes co The human race hard test. Had no voice injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide The few who dare speak again to ri many.—Ella Wheel To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. This reply was not what it ought to have been to a delegation of American citizens and it is not strange that Trotter and other members at once took issue with the president, declaring the colored people did not seek charity or assistance, but that they took the position that they had equal rights with whites and that those rights should be respected. They denied there had been any friction between the two races before segregation was begun." The President may be correct in stating that there is no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings given to colored people, but that does not help matters. It is the FACT of segregation which is wrong. It is un-American to draw any line of demarcation between American citizens. The white and colored government employees worked together with out friction prior to the Wilson Administration and it should be remembered that work in the Departments is not a social function. There can be no "complete independence" of any one class in this country; such an idea is repugnant to the ideals of a democracy. The President seems disposed to speak patronizingly of the colored people, but in that he is wrong—neither special privileges nor assistance are desired—only justice. The President said the question is not political, but human. In that case it ought to be settled in a human manner and on a Christian basis. The segregation of government employees is an insult to the colored people. It is un-christian and un-American and it ought not be countenanced in a republic. "THE POWER OF AGITATION." THE APPEAL is always pleased to read in the columns of its Southern Afro-American contemporaries editorials which may serve to inspire the race to always protest against wrong. In the article which follows, Mrs. Maggie ... Walker, the banker editor of St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Virginia, truly says, "When the spirit and power of agitation die among a people, they are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption." THE POWER OF AGITATION. The greatest power on earth for the righting of wrongs, is the power of agitation. When the spirit and power of agitation die among a people, they are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption. So important is the power, that it is guaranteed to the people through the mandates of the Constitution of the United States. The colored man is not an agitator, nor has he ever been. It has dinned into his ears until it has reached his very soul, that all he has to do toward righting his wrongs, is to wait until the Lord himself shall see them. He is right and light. The idea of peacefully assembling and making intelligent and persistent protest against outrage and wrong seems foreign to him. Or, should he start an agitation and is rebounded at the start, he loses heart, abandons the effort and gives up like a disappointed child. It is the agitation of the waters of the sea, which prevents stagnation and death. It is the agitation of the air which gives pure air to breathe. It is the agitation of the blood, which gives us the power of motion and life, and it is the agitation of thoughts and ideas which prevents brain stagnation and mental death. When a people lose that interest in themselves, to that extent that they stand supinely by quietly submitting to wrong, without protest, they have reached the danger point in race progress development. "MADE IN U. S. A." Senator Fletcher of Florida, chairman of the senate committee on commerce, favorably reported the following resolution, which had been submitted by Senator Weeks of Massa chusets: "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with ew Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is severe That falls asunder at t He finds his fellow guil Not colored like his ow To enforce the wrong, Dooms and devotes him My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: 'Tis human nature's broadest foulest blot. ce when we should wards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against ce and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. "The secretary of commerce is hereby directed to cause to be prepared in detail an estimate of the probable cost of sending at least six vessels, now in the military or naval service of the United States, or otherwise, to the principal port of South America, such vessels to carry suitable samples of the manufacturers and products of this country, together with a reasonable number of representatives of business or trade organizations, and to adopt such other means as may by him be deemed advisable, to the end that our manufacturers and producers may be forthwith put in direct contact with the markets of South America." The majority of the people in Mexico, Central and South America are mixed bloods, Caucasians, Indian and Negroes and all sorts of complicated mixtures and it would undoubtedly be a great idea to load the ship with samples of jimrow cars and various other hellish things which are made only in the United States. The 19,000,000 colored people out of the 20,000,000 inhabitants of Brazil would no doubt be greatly interested in the U. S. Treasury brand of water closets "For Negroes only" put on the market by that distinguished inventor, John Skelton Williams of Virginia. TURKEY'S GREAT COUP That was a neat coup executed by Turkey. Seeing that the time was opportune she has by a stroke of the pen abolished the obnoxious system of extraterritoriality and declared herself self supreme in her own house. The principle of extraterritoriality has been very exasperating to the Turks. The alleged "Christian" powers, because the Turks are of Asiatic origin and Mohammedans, assume that they were unable to handle their own affairs and compelled them by force of their superior warships to submit to the indignity of allowing consular courts of the various powers to take the place of the regular Turkish courts. Then Great Britain, Russia, Germany, France, Austria and Italy established branch postofficees in the various cities of the Ottoman Empire for the use of foreigners and in order to compete with these usurping establishments the Turks were obliged to sell stamps at prices below the regular postal union rates. The subjects of the great powers were treated with more consideration than Turkish citizens and exempt from taxation. The situation was almost unbearable, but the outrageous condition was backed by the combined navies of Europe so what could the poor Turks, who had but a few bum battleships, do? When they voiced strong protests against the injustice of the thing, the Christian powers simply pointed to their warships. Then came a change. The great Christian powers began to spring at each others' throats and while they were engaged in the delightful pastime of murdering men with machine guns, Turkey, which is now ruled by the "Young Turks" who have modernized court procedure and brought the tribunals of justice up to date, seized the opportunity to put an end to an unjust and humiliating conditions and "put one over" on the Christians. Superiors Never Burn Inferiors. (Portland Advocate.) A superior race will not lynch and burn an inferior race simply because they have the power. Terrible crimes and brutalities will not be permitted against human beings by a superior race and then seek to find ease and peace for an injured conscience simply on the basis of color.

That particular line of the patriotic hymn certainly applies at this season to the national bird—the turkey, and not the eagle. From the sun kissed sands of the guilt to the snow clad mountain crests of Alaska, from the burning deserts of Arizona to the bleak, storm washed rocks of Maine, the turkey is king. Millions of Americans will pay him tribute. On the plain dinner table of the farmhouse, on the silver laden board of the city banker, in the cabin, in the mines and cars whirling along their tracks of steel, beneath the glow of electric lights and the sounds of music floating from behind palms or with the gleam of the tallow dip, the sovereign is the same, proudly resting THE DINING ROOM IN THE STATE DINING BOOM OF THE WHITE HOUSE. in his bed of brown gravy, his portly sides cracking with deliculness. Thanksgiving is a great day at the White House. The turkey intended for the president each year is a magnificent one, weighing about twenty-eight pounds. It reaches the White House a few days before the great dinner by express, already killed. When roasted it is truly a sight to make Lucullus' mouth water with envy. The turkey is cooked in a kitchen which is a model for cleanliness and comfort. On one side of the room is an immense range, at least twelve feet in length, and above hangs a large iron hood, which carries off any odor. The tables are two in number and covered with zinc. Above them is a hanging rod full of hooks, from which depend rows of shining saucepans of all sizes. The floor is covered with linoleum in a pretty design, and the whole place is lighted by electricity. There are three cooks, but the number of "help" at the White House is sixteen, which includes the maids, laundresses and waiters. The dishes are washed in a patent affair. By means of a dumb waiter the meals are taken right up to the butler's pantry, which adjoins the dining room and contains the presses full of china of all administrations and of every variety of beautiful design. There are historic sets which have come down from the earliest days, for nearly every president's wife has added to the collection. Of china used by Lincoln there are about 100 pieces left, the figuring and coloring being quant and the dish bordered by a rippling de Silver Moon Hotel and Cafe Mr. Lee Johnson who has had years' of experience in catering to the inner man is now the manager of the Silver Moon Hotel and Cafe, No. 7 E.

Roosevelt paid the sum of $22,000 for a set of white and gold china, which numbered 3,000 pieces. One of the prettiest sets is that purchased by Mrs. Benjamin Harrison. The edge is a wide band of blue, and in the white center of the plate appears an exquisitely dainty picture of the American eagle resting on a shield. The fish sets are all decorated with painted pictures of all kinds of specimens of the funny tribe, and the china used for game has pretty pictures of wild fowl in the air or standing among the reeds. There is even a plate which once belonged in the Confederate White House and one given to Washington by the Society of the Cincinnati. All of the silver at the White House is marked "The President's House." Other than having a monster turkey to grace his table, the president's dinner will be about the same as that of any other well to do American.—Washington Star. When the Ancient Jews Gave Thanks. Three thousand years ago witnessed the Jewish feast of tabernacles, with its magnificent rituals, melodious choirs and picturesque festivities. For eight days the people ceased their work to "eat, drink and be merry." During the time great throngs gathered in and around Jerusalem for several days, living in booths formed of the branches of the olive, pine, myrtle and palm and decorated with fruits and flowers. Grand public pageants were held, and, in addition to these, every household had its worship, its sacrifices and its banquet. AN OLD THANKS- GIVING FAVORITE By LYDIA MARIA CHILD.

By all means they should have been rebuked and their statements proven lies, but as it is, both sections believe it.

What Segregation Means Rev. Quincy Ewing, a Southern Caucasian, Born and Reared in Mississippi, Shows the Policy of the South is to Keep the Afro-American in Inferior Status. BY REV. QUINCY EWING. But we are very far from needing to rely upon any general consideration in support of the proposition advanced above. It is supported by evidences on every hand, waiting only the eye of recognition. Scarcely a day passes something is said or done with this end in view, every time last they forget, the conviction for both will be man and Negro that the latter is and must remain an inferior. Let me instance a few such evidences. Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness a dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a first-class seat? In every large city, there are hundreds of Negroes who would gladly pay for first-class seats at the theatre and the baseball game, were they permitted to. It can hardly be that permission is held because the剧院 and baseball games are so well attended by half the population that first-class seats could not be furnished for the other half. As a matter of fact Consider, first, the "Jim Crow" legislation in the manner of its enforcement. Such legislation is supposed to have for its object the separation of the races in trains, street cars, etc., to save the white people from occasional contact with drunken, rowdy, illsimmiling Negroes, and to prevent personal encounters between the whites and blacks. Members of the different races occupy the same cars, separated only by absurdly inadequate little open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and light that a conductor can move them with the strength of his little anger. Needless to add, these screens would obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell of drunken rowdies who sat behind them! In summer cars, black and white passengers may be separated not even by a make-believe screen; they are simply required, respectively, to occupy certain seats in the front or the back end of the cars. In Birmingham, Alabama, the front seats are assigned to Negroes in all closed cars, and the back seats in all open ones. Why the front seats in the one case, and the back seats in the other, it is not easy to understand in the light of the letter and alleged spirit of the Jim Crow law! The underlying purpose of the law is clearly not the separation of the races in space; for public sentiment does not insist upon its fulfillment to that end. The underlying purpose of it would seem to be the separation of the races in status. The doctrine of inequality attached white and black passengers rode public conveyances on equal terms; therefore the negro who rides in a public conveyance must do so, not as of undoubted right, but as with the white man's regulation. "This place you may occupy, that other you may not, because I am I and you are you, lest to you or to me it should be obscured that I am I and you are you." Such is the real spirit of the Jim Crow laws. Short Walk from Freeman to Sert (Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va.) It seems to us that agitation is needed and that some well directed effort on the part of the Colored people themselves should be made to take this pale of oppression which has not now been carried over the country. With the elimination of political rights has come the interference with our property rights and from freeman to serf is but a short walk in distance. Colored men must stand up for their rights, and they should not depend upon others to stand up for them. While the women are contending for the right of suffrage, let the Colored men contend for the same thing. Political "pull" against us is accomplishing our work. We have never been able to control people should eschew politics. This was the commencement of our undoing and the sooner we get back on the political road again, the better. Rights are controlled and curtailed by politics. This is the lever to be used in our favor, just as the white peoples have used it against us. Employees Who Get By. (Chicago Defender.)

Migration Means Born Caucasian, Born and Reared in policy of the South is to Keep in Inferior Status. Why is it that in every Southern city no Negro is allowed to witness a dramatic performance, or a baseball game, from a first-class seat? In every large city, there are hundreds of Negroes who would gladly pay for first-class seats at the theatre and the baseball game, were they permitted to. It can hardly be that permission is withheld because the剧院 and baseball games are so well attended by half the population that first-class seats did not be furnished for the other half, because of fact, theatre-auditoriums and the baseball stands are seldom crowded; the not, is not all first-class seats occupied, but many vacant. Surely as simple as moving from seat to seat a makeshift screen in a street-car, it be to set apart a certain number of seats in the dress-circle of every theatre, and in the grandstand of every baseball park, for Negro patrons. The reason why this is not done, is perfectly obvious; it would be intolerable to the average Southern man or woman to sit at the hours of a theatrical performance, or a baseball game or terms of equal accommodation with Negroes, even with a screen. Negroes would look out of place of status, in the dress circle or the grandstand; their place, signifying their status, is the peanut-gallery, or the bleachers. Consider further that, while no Negro, no matter what his occupation, or personal refinement, or intellectual culture, or moral character, is allowed to trave in a pullman car between state lines, or to enter as a guest a hotel patronized by white people, the blackest of Negro nurses and valets are given food and shelter in all first-class hotels, and occasion neither disgust nor surprise in the Pullman cars. Here again the heart of the race problem is laid bare. The black nurse with a white baby in her arms, the black vet looking after the comfort of a white invalid, have the label of their inferiority conspicuously upon them; they themselves, and everybody under their, to be servants, enjoying certain privileges for the sake of the person they are almost anything the Negro may do in the South, and anywhere he may go, provided the manner of his doing and his going is that of an inferior. Such is the premium put upon his inferiority; such his inducement to maintain it. count when prejudice steps in, so we must fight fire with fire, and those that are to be by" peace be with them and it is our duty not to hinder them in any way.

The Congressional Union has headquarters in Chicago, and is using every possible political effort to get the scalp of every democrat who is opposed to women receiving the ballot. Everybody seems to understand the power of the ballot except the colored people. We need but little here below, and we don't need that little long. Other folks need all they can get, and need it as long as they can get it—but we don't. UNIVERSITY A. M., D. D., President COMMERCIAL COLLEGE Bookkeeping Stenography Typewriting Economics, Etc.

Lawrence, Kan.-Being the wealthiest schoolteacher in the United States is the situation which has been forced upon Professor E. M. Wollank of the Pittsburgh Normal school, who has been notified that an estate of $25,000,000 has been left to him and his son and a Louisiana banker. The fortune was left by a great-uncle who died several years ago in Berlin. The will provided the money go to the male descendants of the Wollank line. Professor Wollank, his son and a banker of Delhi, La., are the only heirs, and each will get one-third of the estate. "Of course I will be glad to get the money." Professor Wollank said, "but I intend to keep on teaching school." Professor Wollank has been at the normal school five years. He is a teacher of languages and is a widower. GOSPEL AUTOS IN CHICAGO Will Try to Reclaim Wealthy as Well as Penniness "Savages." Chicago - Gospel automobiles were put into service here on the theory that there were more "religious savages" in Chicago than in "darkest Africa." Moody Bible institute dedicated the first of several such gospel autos which will tour Chicago. The speakers will consider the wealthiest residence districts and the poorest tenement sections equally "savage" and will work in both. Five hundred men and women will take turns preaching every night for weeks, first in ghetto districts, then along the lake shore. "We expect the wealthy will listen to the sermons just the same as the poorer people," said the Rev. W. W. Ketchum, who preached to a crowd at North Clark and West Division streets CONVICT MAY HARVEST CROP Kansas Governor Paroles Man Whose Family Needs Him. Topeka, Kan. - Governor Hodges granted a parole of sixty days to W. F. Richards, a prisoner at the state penitentiary, so Richards might go to his home in Saline county and harvest his wheat crop. Richards entered prison last January under a sentence of from one to five years for selling mortgaged property. He was heavily in debt and, according to reports to the governor, his family has been dependent upon neighbors. Friends recently informed the governor the wheat which Richards planted last fall promised to yield an abundant crop. The governor decided the family needed Richards for the next sixty days more than the state of Kansas did. Norwich, Conn. - Mr. and Mrs. Charles Courtney Haskell have just been celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their adoption of a "no breakfast" rule. Flaky rolls, fragrant coffee, crisp bacon and eggs and delicately browned griddlecakes may have tempted them to break the rule, but they declare they have never yielded. Twenty years ago Mr. Haskell was fifty-four years old and an invalid, hopeless of regaining health, he says. After eight years of "doctoring" he met a certain Dr. Dewey of Meadville, Pa., who advised him to omit the early morning meal. Mrs. Haskell had suffered from asthma for fifteen years. Both resolved to cut out breakfast. "Now, for twenty years," says Mr. Haskell. "we have followed this plan of natural, hygienic, scientific, divine living, without the break of a single day, and whereas I was an old, worn-out man twenty years ago, today, at the age of seventy-four. I am in the enjoyment of permanent, perfect health, doing better and more effective work than ever before." Mr. Haskell has persuaded Wu Ting Fang to adopt the no breakfast rule. During the most severe winter weather Mr. Haskell goes about generally carrying his hat, baring his head to the wind and storms and seeming to enjoy it and grow rugged by it. Mr Haskell was at one time a wealthy bookman. He published James G. Blaine's life when Blaine was running for the presidency and was said to have lost heavily when interest in Blaine slumped. Writes That the Children Make Tee Much Noise to Suit Him. Spokane, Wash.—A. L. White, president of the park board, was awakened by a servant calling that the house had been robbed. Investigation showed jewelry and clothing valued at $700 had been taken. The burglar left behind a note which read: "Your kids make too much noise and keep waking up, and it is now 5 o'clock, so I cannot finish the job. Goodby! I see you did not buy a new overcoat." Some weeks ago the White home was robbed of an overcoat, and it is believed the same thief was in the house a second time. Defective Page 50 CENTS FORTUNE FOR EDUCATOR. BURGLAR LEAVES A NOTE.

Norway May Go Wet Again. Christiania, Nov. 2.—The Norwegian press is making an almost unanimous appeal to the government to rescind the prohibition ordinance which was enacted in the first excitement of the war to stop the sale of strong alcoholic beverages. The appeal for rescinding the prohibition act is based primarily on assertions that after more than two months of prohibition, prohibition has not worked. Persons who could afford it have indulged extensively in the importation of strong liquors from Denmark and Scotland. Individuals have combined to form "private stock companies" and have taught in thousands of galleries how to serve son taking a keg or two for private use. Among the poorer classes complaint is made that the prohibition law has created worse conditions, prompting the concotion of such weird drinks and "self murder"—the name given to denaturalized alcohol flavored with oil of peppermint—and the cheapest kinds of so-called sweet wines, made from chemical products, which never saw grapes. The police reports in Christianity show that the average number of arrests for drunkers that be made the same as before was passed, and in the meantime the government loses a revenue of $280,000 a month.
