STANDING TOGETHER FOR RIGHT. The unanimity with which the Colored press endorsed the action of William Monroe Trotter in his protest against segregation was remarkable. Only two or three editors of small caliber, who evidently have some personal grievance against Mr. Trotter, abused the man who has against tremendous odds done battle for the rights of the race. These sore head publishers of papers of little influence will not be able to do much harm. What they have said is more than off-set by strong Southern Democratic newspapers which have rebuked the President for his action. Two Kentucky newspapers were especially strong against governmental segregation. The Louisville Courier-Journal: "The Courier-Journal agrees with the New York World that the segregation business over in Washington spells rather small. During fifty years, including two Democratic Presidential terms there was no thought of separating the black and white official sheep. Why should the suggestion meet the assent of anybody now. "The segregation order should be revoked. It has no real cause or interest to back it. The issue should not have been raised. Let Mr. Wilson take matters further into his own hands, and restore the status quo." Says the Lexington Herald: "We regret that the President has again permitted himself to display irritation to those who went to him as Chief Executive of the Nation, and refused to answer questions put to him about the treatment of public employees. "For the second time he has permitted himself to lose his temper when confronted by a delegation of citizens asking him to take action about a matter which is embarrassing to them.

Does the President of the United emerald policy, citizens of African ex from citizens of Anglo-Saxon, Teuton President of the United States has opened it of all nations, willing to make sanction of his great personality and a prejudice? Is it to the policy of the people, for the people, that any race is another race? Is the President willing to have him an example by those of lower order and where there are a large number of people one class on the law and another of the law? At what point will the government of different races? As we conceive the treat great individual as equal before whatever the ordered orders, a clear charged with the duty of serving the humblest American citizen of law the full equal of the most power descent. The public servant elected to the humblest citizen the same procured to the most powerful. Neither voaction should determine the treatme We are distressed that the President believe in the perpetuation of race private citizen, every man has the right public official, the higher the office the tice and treat with patience those who the protection of the law. It is due a step in descent from the clais in Washington who segregate one nern state who advocates lynch be cited by the lower official as justifier South that lynches in the night is but ful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon descent. We regret the President has again permitted himself to display irritation to those who went to him as Chief Executive of the Nation, and refused to answer questions put to him about the treatment of public employees. When the women who are striving to secure equal suffrage approach him he took refuge behind the prerogative that every private citizen but no public official has the right to exercise, a display of temper, and a declaration that he must refuse to be catechized. For the second time he has permitted himself to lose his temper when confronted by a delegation of citizens asking him to take action about a matter that is embarrassing to him. A number of Negroes, representing various Negro organizations, appealed to him to forbid the segregation of Negroes in the departments at Washington. The spokesman of the delegation reminded him of campaign pledges made and stated that they did not come to him to ask charity, but as American citizens to demand equal treatment to that accorded other American citizens. The President of the United States is presumed to be the servant of all the people; he is not the master, but the servant. Under a monarchy it is proper that the subjects should appear to believe "the king can do no wrong" and, therefore, refrain from criticism or from questioning. In a Republic there is no justification for any such belief. The President is, as is every public servant the servant of those who elect him, paid by them to administer the affairs of the country. Every human being, whether a servant or a master, is entitled to courteous consideration and should be safe from personally offensive criticism. So the President and every other public servant should be subject only to that criticism which is just and proper, uttered in a courteous manner. But he, as every other servant, is the subject of proper criticism and has not the right to refuse to answer proper questions upon the ground of offended dignity. It is peculiarly unfortunate that he should give the exhibitions of offended dignity upon occasions when women, who have not a vote, and Negroes, who are the weaker race, are those who appeal to him. If he believes that the policy of segregation should be adopted by the United States Government he should have no hesitation in so stating frankly and giving his reasons therefore. If he believes that the different races, of which the people of the United States are composed, should each be segregated, he has a right so to believe and so state. Has he a right as President, to act in accord with that belief? Does the President of the United States believe that as a mater of governmental policy, citizens of African extraction should be treated differently from citizens of Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic, Slav or Latin extraction? Is the President of the United States, the Chief Executive officer of the greatest republic in the world, that has opened its doors as a refuge for the oppressed of all nations, willing to stand before the peoples of the earth as giving the sanction of his great personality and high office to the perpetuation of race prejudice? Is it to be the policy of the government of the people, by the people, for the people, that any race is to be set aside as distinguished from another race? Is the President willing to have himself quoted as authority and cited as an example by those of lower order and more brutal instincts, who, in states where there are a large number of persons of different races favor putting one class above the law and another of different color beyond the protection of the law? As what point will the government as government stop the segregation of different races? As we conceive the purpose of this government it is to treat every individual as equal before the eyes of the law—black or white, red or yellow, Jew or Gentle, Protestant or non-Protestant—whatever the breed, whatever the creed matters not, at least should matter not to the public official charged with the duty of serving all the people. The humblest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the law the full equal of the most powerful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon descent. The public servant elected by the people, paid by the people, owes to the humbleest citizen the same protection and the same treatment accorded to the most powerful. Neither breed nor creed, neither culture nor vocation should determine the treatment accorded to a citizen by a servant. We are divided that the President himself with those who believe in the perpetuation of race prejudice and justify his own course. As a private citizen, every man has the right to determine his own course; public official, the higher the office the greater the obligation to act with justice and treat with patience those who must look to the public officer for the protection of the law. It is but a step in descent from the position taken by those public officials in Washington who segregate one race to the public official in a Southern state who advocates lynch law. The example of the higher official will be cited by the lower official as justification for his course. The mob of the South that lynches in the night is but a step further than the official order that segregates because of color in the day. ful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon of Oklahoma is invalid, in so far as it descent. "It is but a step in descent from the position taken by those public officials in Washington who segregate one race to the public official in a Southern state who advocates lynch law. The example of the higher official will be cited by the lower official as justification for his course. The mob of the South that lynches in the night is but a step further than the official order that segregates because of color in the day." When Southern Democratic daily newspapers have the moral courage to write such strong editorials demanding justice for the race it ought to make the cowardly colored curs who condone jimcrowism hide their heads in shame.

William Monroe Trotter, whose remarks on segregation in Government departments stirred President Wilson at a hearing in the White House last Thursday, arrived in Boston yesterday afternoon and did not deny any thing offensive either in his speech or manner, told of the way in which the report of the hearing was given to the newspapermen. "As we left the President," said Mr. Trotter, "I told him I was very sorry if he still considered that I had offended him. The President smiled and said: 'O, we'll call it all right.' When we came out our delegation caused in Sec. Tamuity's room as to what we should do with the papers. I told the newspaper men briefly about the conference, merely describing it as a warm affair. "I had gone outside the White House when Mr. Tumulty called me back and said: 'Trotter, you have violated every courtesy of the White House in quoting the President to the press.' I told Mr. Tumulty that I had done so unreasonably of the rules, and apologized. He accepted my apology. Then I asked the newspaper not to publish what I told them, and they consented. Mr. Tumulty said he was satisfied and I left. White House Statement Issued. "The report of the conference was then given out from the White House. It seems very peculiar to me, after the President had told me everything was all right, that a White House statement should say that I had offended the President of the United States." Did Not Lose Temper or Catechize? "I want to say," he continued, "that neither in manner, language, tone nor in any other way was I discourteous, impertinent or insolent to President Wilson. "My whole attitude was that of endearing, on the spur of the moment, to demonstrate a powerful morality and to refute it successfully and feeling a great responsibility to do so, I spoke with positiveness, deliberateness and directness, looking the President full in the eye. "I did not quiz or catechize the President, and I did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty did not come until the President had been permitted to declare for segregation the right of a jury that I should regard it as a benevolence and so represent it to my race. "Although it was a trying ordeal to listen to such a statement at length by the Chief Executive of the Nation, I was a temper, much less lost my temper," DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS HEAD? (From the Philadelphia Press.) It looks as though the result of the last election has got on the President's nerves and made him unreasonably irritable. In no other way can we account for the extreme sensitivity and quick resentment which he exhibited. The Trotter, of Boston, as chairman of a board, ousted men undertook to show him that Colored employees were unfairly discriminated against and segregated in some of the executive departments. There is nothing in Mr. Trotter's remarks as reported which disclose any ground for the President's resentment. Possibly the speaker's manner may have been too earnest, positive and aggressive to suit the President. He turned on him as he once before and insisted that he suffrage allegiance whose assertions and arguments were not to his taste and drove the President into making the absurd statement that he was not at liberty to approve woman suffrage because it had no place in the National Democratic platform. He told Trotter that the Colored people were segregated in the departments to avoid friction. But Mr. Burleson insisted that Mr. Burleson got into the Cabinet and began to enforce in their departments the principle of the Jim Crow law. The segregation practiced is wrong in public, to one class of public employee who have a right to be treated by their Government without discrimination. The race affected had a right to be heard in their own behalf and showed a proper spirit in going directly to the President with their grievance. We fear that the President has lost his head. He is certainly not so happy in these extempore statements, made under the irritation that so easily besets him as in his more studied deliverances which compel the admiration even of his political opponents and often skillfully covered up the fallacies of his reasoning character of the policy he is commending. THE COLOR LINE VEXES THE PRESIDENT. (From New York Evening Mail.) It is hard to discover, in the rather fully published reports, any sufficient reason for the President's resentment of the efforts of Mr. Trotter to persuade him to abandon the offensive policy of several Cabinet officers in drawing the color line in the Federal departments. The subject under discussion was the violation of the customs of fifty years and the spirit of the Constitution in establishing "Jim Crow" government. If the spokesman of the Equal Rights League waxed warm in urging the cause of his race, it is not wondered at. That he overstepped the bounds of propriety is not shown. That the President was vexed is all that appears in the published record. If any adequate reason for his vexation had been supplied by Mr. Trotter, it would surely have been disclosed. That there was reason for the President's ill temper is quite true, but it was supplied by the Cabinet members who were responsible for the narrow-minded policy of segregating Colored employees from white jobholders. The incident recalls the similar vexation by the President when he abruptly dismissed an equal suffrage delegation on June 30 on the ground that he could not "submit to cross-examination." When a man is right, he usually will listen patiently to the other side; when he knows he is wrong he is very likely to fly off the handle. TELEGRAM TO PRESIDENT WILSON BY DR. W. SINCLAIR, UNABLE TO BE PRESENT WITH DELEGATION. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., Honored Sir: Unavoidable circumstances make it impracticable for me to join the delegation as field secretary of the constitution league of the United States who are to present a memorial to you on Thursday, the 12th inst., invoking your intervention against the motion of government employees at Washington on the ground of race or color. I would fully submit that such segregation violates the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, forces hardships and degradations of Colored employees, undermines civilization, is subversive of American institutions, contravenes every principle of righteousness and justice and is a shameful reproach to our Christian religion. Segregation represents not the ideals of freedom but the ideals of slavery. We pray that we as the Christian President of this free and Christian nation will use your great powers, which are more than amply sufficient to remove this foul blot from our civilization. (Signed), WM. A. SINCLAIR, Field Secretary Constitution League, J. E. Milholland's Congratulatory Telegram. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 13, 1914. Mr. Wm. Monroe Trottier, Race Leader, The Guardian, Boston, Mass. You have rendered great service. That interview with the president is a memorable event in the history of the race struggle in America. You were easily victor. Never has Mr. Wm. Monroe trottied. Congratulate you on such a display of moral courage, answering loyalty and genuine Americanism. JOHN E. MILHOLLAND. Never has there been a time when the Christmas event stood under so impressive illumination as it does in this year's Christmaside. The birth of Jesus is this year a larger fact for the thought and life of the world than in any year till now. The phenomenon of the life of Jesus and his power in the world forms the summit question in the thinking of our times. Though there are some mournful defections from the divine truth of the manger event, the aggregate state of Christendom exhibits the ever enduring power of the grace that then and there came to seek and save the lost. No period has ever seen such wide circulation and study of the Holy Scriptures as the present, although recent events have demonstrated the still existing need of closer adherence to the divine principle of "peace on earth, good will to men." The evangel of a Saviour come thrills more hearts this Christmas than in any other year of this dispensation. --- Christmas Gratitude Do we think enough about saying "Thank you" at Christmas? We hurry and rush through the busy days before Christmas, and then when Christmas actually comes we put off the mood of giving and sit down intent upon the culmination of our effort, which is reached when we receive. We take what comes—sometimes eagerly, sometimes with a disappointed shrug—but we take what comes, do we not, and are we always prompt to give our thanks? A certain benevolent lady said last year, "I gave thirty-sight presents this Christmas and received only nine letters of thanks." This seemed dreadful beyond words. "And what of the others?" I hastened to ask. "Some of them thanked me when we next met," she said carelessly, "and some of them never thanked me at all. You know," she added after a pause, "one of the hardest things to do is to give thanks graciously. Some people can never do it. It is the distinct mark of high breeding. I don't suppose any one but a king or a princess has really the perfect art of saying 'Thank you.'" It is a mark of good breeding to be prompt and gracious in giving thanks. Even if the gift is a pincushion and you already have ninety-nine others, say "Thank you" sweetly, affectionately and in the spirit of Christmas. Do not let twenty-four hours pass by without taking sufficient time to write an appreciative, affectionate little note to every one who has remembered you at Christmas time. Though this may be looked upon as a duty to others, it is far more than that; it is a duty to yourself, a very real duty, for to be discourteous is to be selfish, and to be selfish is to be outside of many of life's keenest joys. As a matter of self training, if for no other reason, say "Thank you" as quickly and attractively and sincerely as you can. ```markdown ``` Once a year at least we are all children together. Imagine, if you can, a world from which childhood should be absent. If in any star among those sweeping planets over our heads there is one wholly inhabited by grownup folk that must be a quiet and grave place, a place to shun, a place of lonesome dignity, robbed of motive and of charm. Our homes exist for the children. They afford us our best reason for the incessant toll, which is less a curse to the race than a blessing. Their insistent claims on our care cannot be put aside. Their joyful irresponsibility is in contrast to our continual sense of obligation. Like the birds and the flowers, they bring song and bloom into our lives, and their dependence on us is as simple, their faith as sincere, as our ought to be on the great All Father. When Christmas comes their little cups are full to the brim. Such small things please them, too—the doll, the train of cars, the toy elephant, the picture book. When we do not spoil them by defrauding them of their share in the giving as well as in the receiving, how much pleasure they take in choosing their presents; what wonderful ideas they have of the possibilities of a dollar; how they select the biggest and most beautiful things without a thought of the cost! Money is nothing to a child. He has not yet entered upon that sordid phase of being when expense obtrudes itself like a genie of evil in the garden of roses. A child's heart is as large as heaven. A child's love is as wide as a child's life. At Christmas we all dwell for a little while under the beautiful scepter of the Child in the Midst—Margaret E. Sangster. An Ancient Christmas Hymn. Oh, come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant! To Bethelheim hasten now with one accord. Come and behold him Born the King of angels— Oh, come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord! Sing, chorus of angels; Sing in exultation! Jeu, forever be thy name adored, Wood of the Father Now in thine appearing. Oh, come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord! The Christmas Angel. Here comes the Christmas angel, So gentle and so calm. As sotly as the falling flakes He comes with flute and palm. All in a cloud of glory, As once upon the plain To the house of joy in the way. He brings good news again. He is the young folks' Christmas. He makes their eyes grow bright With words of hope and tender thought And visions of delight. Hall to the Christmas angel! He is on earth with wings. He gathers the youths and maids Beneath his shining wings. —Rose Terry Cooke. ```markdown ``` To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury and refinement rather than fashion; to think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasion, hurry never—in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common—this is to be my symphony.—Channing. Peace on Earth Peace? Yes; that is after all and above all our Christmas gift. To make joy for others, to behold their joy, to rejoice in it, is the joy unspeakable. And why? Because it is godlike and divine. Even so the Father joys in our joy, and the Son perfects his joy in completing ours. Peace is the product of passing out of the human into the divine element and activity. No man is peaceful who cannot share, in some faint way at least, in the experiences of his Father and his God. That is the only real absorption into the divine, the perfection of which heathen philosophy has dreamed as its highest goal, but which the gospel alone has brought to light and made accessible and attainable. de er fic po in we th in E.

May it be the happiest of happy Christmas days that comes once more to us. As we hear our children sing, may it be the echo of the angel's song, and as we unite with them in praising Christ the Lord may his peace enter into our hearts and abide there forevermore. silt to fT aaa) ile “© ST.

"Beer a Food." Professor Charles Frederick Chandler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, declares that beer is the best brain food. In a recent address he said: "Beer is a beverage prepared from barley, water, hops and yeast. Beer is food. American beer contains 6 per cent solid food, only 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is real brain food. Beer and bread both made from cereals; bread with water and is solid; beer with more water and is liquid. Yeast converts both into palatable and readily digested food. Both contain alcohol. Beer is not intoxicating in ordinary quantities and beer is one of the foods that is free from bacteria. It is appetizing and alds digestion. Beer there is any purpose in the United States that you call adulterated. It may be misbranded, but not adulterated. If the prohibitionists drive beer from the household they will deprive a large part of the population of a wholesome article of food."

SAINT PAUL, U.S.A. (Special to the Guardian.) Providence, R. I. At last the decision of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. has been handed down and it resolved itself into a very concrete form which was set forth in a resolution. The committee on membership, which was as follows: The Victory. The Providence Journal published the following report: That no distinction because of race or sect will be considered in receiving applications for membership in the Providence Young Men's Christian Association was the decision reached by the board of directors of that institution at a meeting held last evening. This action was taken by the directors because of objections from some persons to the admission of Colored men to membership in the organization and particularly in the many advantages offered by the new building. As soon as it became known that objection had been offered the matter was taken by different colored organizations and other groups and the directors were urged to take action. Following is a statement given out by the directors after last evening's meeting: The Note. "The Providence Young Men's Christian Association for more than 60 years has served the young men and boys of our city in a broad and liberal spirit, making no distinction in receiving applications for membership because of race or sect. We believe that the right must continue to be as it always has character and moral worth, and that by such standards of selection the New York—To the Editor of THE APPEAL. Sir: The interview of William Munroe Trotter and the delegation of colored 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 here goes and forcefully how deeply the colored men feel the injustice which Mr. Wilson's government has inflicted upon them and still inflicts. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been fighting segregation in federal departments ever since the first rumor 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 has kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one occasion a representative appeared before the civil representative 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 at the U street station were intervention of this association, three association will exemplify its high ideals. We therefore believe it is sufficient for this board to declare that no reason exists for any change in the principles which have heretofore governed the association in its requirements for membership. We demand Mr. Hawkins resignation, and if Hawkins could read between the lines he would send in his resignation and not wait until it was asked for. We hope that he will remember that he is in Providence and not in the South nor Southwest; now let the board of directors exact of Mr. Hawkins an explanation of his actions which has caused them to be held up to the ridicule of the world. This was one of the times when this board once approved it in an effort and they should be given such credit for their united stand. They are very illiquid over the victory. The fight was led by Rev. J. H. Wiley and Rev. S. W. Smith for the New England Suffrage League and Mr. J. C. Minkins, Rev. J. Harrison and Dr. Robinson for the N. A. A. C. P. branch. We have already, renewed our membership. We thank the reader of the Guardian will read the letter from the pen of M. E. L. Singsen, a white man, to the Providence Sunday Journal and see if you think that all our friends are dead. We wish to say to those who live in towns and cities where segregation is proposed, fight it with all your might and need any points we will gladly give you the benefit of our experience here. Respectfully, S. W. SMITH. 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, listens to the Treasury Department and in the Treasury, and possibly here and there in a small degree in other places. It still remains true that for the first time in half 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 examination, have 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 of the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. E.
