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 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. He 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." Defective Page 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. "The humblest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the law the full equal of the most power- ful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon 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 jimcrowlsh hide their heads in shame. The press dispatches of Monday announce that the Supreme Court of the United States has declared, through Justice Hughes, that the Jim Crow law of Oklahoma is invalid, in so far as it allowed the furnishing of sleeping, parlor and chair cars only to white persons. Every once in a while we get a hopeful sign that we may hope that things will not always be as bad as they are. The latest addition to the list of Afro-American newspapers that has reached our office is The Kansas City Herald, which made its advent November 28, with Bro. J. Sias Harris as editor. It is a six column folio, is well gotten up and is handing out some "hot stuff." When times get hard the pawn shops thrive. War makes times hard. Times are hard in Paris, more than $40,000,000 worth of jewelry and household goods have been pawned since the war began. The Germans seem not to be troubled as to the ultimate outcome of the war being in their favor. The Reichstag has just voted a new war tax credit of $1,250,000,000. With the wars and rumors of wars, now filling the earth, the coming Christmas will be a sad one to many of its inhabitants. CORNER STONE. Of Union Hall Laf With Appropriate Ceremonies. What marks an epoch in the history of the Afro-Americans of Minnesota occurred last Sunday in the laying of the corner stone of Union Hall, cor. Annex A. The erection of this building is the result of years of labor on the part of the progressive element among us and it is something of which we all admire. But for the sudden change in the weather from spring-like to sub-zero, marred the occasion considerably but it did not prevent the attendance of several hundred persons at the hall and cliché the ceremony of laying the corner stone was conducted by State Grand Master, F. and A. M. H. J. Shelton of Duluth, under the auspices of the members of Association composed of the members of Marshes Lodge 4. No. F. and A. M. and Mars Lodge No. 2202 G. U. O. of O. F. The members of the lodges met at the lodge rooms and in full regalia formed the body of the gathering to the locality of the hall. The gathering was called to order by Marshal Earnest James, invocation by Grand Chapman J. H. Dillingham and proceeded with the dualistic Mastic ceremony for laying a corner stone. Grand Secretary Geo. L. Hoage read the list of contents deposited in the box in the stone (which represented the order) as follows: a Copy of articles corporation; list of members of Mars Lodge who had paid their assessments on the building; list of members in good standing in Perfect Ashlar Lodge and as members of the Order dated Dec. 12, 1914; various clippings from newspapers concerning the building; a brief history of the building; copy of the program of the day; sixteen coins dated 1914; copy of the book of the Order dated Dec. 1914. Grand Master Shelton consecrated the stone with corn, wine and oil, then the parade and the people repaired to St. James A. M. E. Church to hear the grand oration by W. R. Marsh. Arriving at the church W. T. Francis acted as master of ceremonies and the 'following program was carried out: Invocation, Rev. H. P. Jones; solo, 'My Redeemer and My Lord,' reading, Rev. B. N. Murrell; grand oration, W. R. Morris, Esq.; solo, 'The Way of Mrs. Mrs. Adcile Cawdor-Minor; corner stone address, Rev. H. P. Jones; offering, Mrs. T. E. Cawdor-Minor; sapphire for the Juveniles. Benediction, Rev. Stovall, Minneapolis. There was a large crowd at the church and the oration and sermon were master pieces of information and encouragement. Benediction, Rev. Stovall, Minneapolis. The officers of the building association are S. E. Hall, president; J. E. furphy, vice president; R. M. Johnson, treasurer; Charles Miller, secretary. The other directors are Frank H. Hoage, William Francis, George Hoage and J. B. Johnson. Mrs. Mary A. Archer. The funeral services of Mrs. Mary A. Archer, who died at her home, 536 Anthony avenue, Saturday, Dec. 12, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. Church Tuesday afternoon. The remains were laid in the vault at Oakland cemetery, until spring, when they were taken and buried, where she was born and reared, for burial. The family wish to thank all the friends who were so kind to us during our mother's illness, and at her last thank Rev. H. P. Jones for his excellent sermon, Rev. J. S. Strong for his kind words and Queen of Sheba Chapter for the kindness of its members. We are very grateful for the many floral tributes. Respectfully, William S. Archer, Blamarck C.

PAUL AND AMES LODGE 106, MINNEAPOLIS Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World Hold Their Joint Annual Service at St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Paul. Sunday evening, Dec. 6, St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Paul was crowded with members and friends of the Immediate Protective Order of Elks of the World being the holding of the Joint Memorial Services of Gopher Lodge 105, St. Paul and Ames Lodge 106, Minneapolis. Despite the inclement weather there was a large representation of the and maternity present and it was a very representative gathering. The Elks gathered in the amphitheater room and at the proper time met around the church and entered through the front door in a body making a splendid appearance. When all had reached their proper stations the program began with a pianoVoluntary. The followed by the annual ceremonies, according to the ritual, L. B. Greer, Exalted Ruler of Gopher Lodge presiding. After the opening exercises the Elks sang their Opening Ode, to the tune of "Old Lang Syne." Exalted Ruler Greer then called up orger Lodge Holbert, Exalted Ruler of Ames Lodge, and the program proceeded with a paper by Ex. R. L. B. Greer as follows. "WHAT IS ELKDOM?" Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; these are the principles in the creed of every Elk. We believe in our creed and in our Order and hold that the most befitting we order those who have left us, is to aid them in our Order, we strive to help the living we honor the dead. And, every Order that is to be lasting must have something more lofty than mere social and educational features. In our Order, we strive to assist the wee people in distress and relieve the wee people in distress and thus spread the gospel of Brotherly Love and Charity to all. Be faithful to every trust and just to our fellow men. My brothers, let not store up malice, but seek to further the blessing Elkdom by practicing its principles. Elkdom does not ask how its members worship, but it asks Almighty us who does not believe in the Almighty God. Here is the common ground for men of all faiths; here we sit in Friendship and Brotherly Love. An Elk is a believer in this republic. This is a belief in today. Here should be less criticism and more things it represents. There should be less talk of more liberty and more P. H. SOUTHALL Past Exalted Ruler Ames Lodge proper use of that which we have, less thought of additional rights, we deem it a privilege to be American citizens. As for the Elks our faith is firm. Since the beginning of time the problem of mortality has been the riddle, men have always asked does life end now? That is not the case, that this cannot be so, for God did not create man nor the world for destruction. Faith teaches that the grave is the portal of life eternal. We have to be careful that we departed brothers know. That which is incomprehensible to us is plain to them of yesterday. We meet our brothers with the warm hand of friendliness, tomorrow they are gone, they have passed the river and the Grand Exalted Ruler of Heaven and Earth. Faith tells us they have entered upon immortal life, light and proper that we should cherish it, and we possess the flowers have left us and have gone to join the big Lodge above, but it is more important for us to make the lives of those who are left behind more peaceful, and we should lay flowers on the caskets of the departed but it is better to shed a little sunshine among those who are still with us. The choir, the掌剑 of Mrs. Addle C. Minor, sang: "I Will arise." The Exalted Ruler of Ames Lodge, H. P. Southall was introduced and pronounced the following: EULOGY It is our aim to teach the members of the order to love each other, love our God, love our homes, to do unto others as we would have others do to us and respect and reverence our dead. And when our earthly career is done and we close our eyes in the last sleep it is the desire of every Elk to awaken in a glorious eternity with the Exalted Ruler of the Universe in the Grand Lodge above. This day, throughout the land where Elkdom is known, the members of this order are assembled in houses in the city to hold memorial services for departed brothers. For the second time during the past twenty-four months the Almighty God in his infinite mercy has permitted the members of Gopher and Ames Lodges to come into his house with no names to be "called on in vain," no tears of sorrow to be offered away and no eulogies to be offered for departed brothers. So to Ames and Gopher, this service is a Thanksgiving rather than a memorial, but while we return thanks to the Most Exalted of all Rulers for his goodness to us we are mindful of the memory of those who have been so blessed, and our hearts are touched with keenest sympathy for those who this day are sorrowing over the memory of some dear departed Brother. But since no eulogy need be said for REV. H. P. JONES Pastor St. James A. M. E. Church MRS. ADDIE C. MINOR Soloist and Director of Choir W. R. MORRIS Past Exalted Ruler Ames Lodge Supreme Being, who knows but what they mean, has some time, become staunch members of the church. Our cultural principles are Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity and we endeavor to keep faithful to them at all times. Following came the recitation of "Thanatopsis" by Past Exalted Ruler, W. R. Morris, during which the solemn tomes of a song were heard at short intervals, ending with eleven strokes in succession. The closing exercises conducted by Exalted Ruler George W. Holbert followed. Then Mrs. Addie C. Minor sang "The Holy City." Rev. H. P. Jones, pastor of the church was then introduced and preached the following excellent and appropriate SERMON It was my pleasure and privilege a short while since to see a remarkable presentation of "Joseph and His Sons" in the matric art, James O'Neill. It had been the one regret of my life that I had not been permitted to see Thomas Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle and James O'Neill in the creation of the plays, the like of which we shall not see again and so I hailed it as a real privilege to witness this marvelous presentation of the part of Jacob by this artist who has now grown old. It is to one phase of this presentation that I desire to direct your thought, namely. The search of the past in the lives of these shepherds Shechem, these shepherds journeyed to Dothan and the youngest and favorite son of Jacob, Joseph, is sent in quest of his brethren, and when the inquiry is made of him as to what he seeks, he makes the answer, "I seek my brethren where they are." This quest for human brotherhood has been one upon which the world for a long time has dwelt. It has been the dream of many of the philosophers and poets of the past and present age, but we not yet attained to it and it will be brought about, but there are several things which cannot help it on and to a few of these things your thought is directed. We can never bring about a condition of brotherhood, but we have not a wonderful story which is told by Wallace's master piece, "Ben Hur," when the two playmates, one a Jew; the other a Roman, Bur Hur and Maselea, meet again after a long marathon. Maselea had been to Rome and was a glorious glory of the Romans. In conversation with Ben Hur, he speaks of this glory and tells the Jew that his people have no history, no name; that there is nothing of prestige behind him, but he can never make a name for themselves; the shaft strikes home and Bur Hur turns to his mother and with tears in his eyes, to tell her of this conversation with Maselea. The mother boy to her knee and begins to relate his world to his people, of its wonderful productions, poets and law givers, of statesmen and soldiers, of Moses and David, of Solomon and Josiah; a record which stands unparalleled perhaps in the his world, and Ben Hur resolves, after a lengthy journey, to shall ever meet Maselea again, man to man, he shall convince him of the power and dignity which may reside in a Jew. The consequence of it all seen in the charlot race, when Ben Hur is directing his Arabian steeds, brings the hero to the hub of Maselea's charlot, and thus brings his life to an untimely end. The lesson is plain. Don't be ashamed of yourself and of your people. We can never build a race by saying that we are nothing and can be a scene in Chicago where we in mind a scene in Chicago where we have the institution of national guard was recruited from what we might call largely the lower element or stratum of Chicago life. This regiment with its blue and brass buttons marches as proudly as showing the psychological effect of an army that we can be something if we will. The Daily News gathers its streeturchins and newsboys from the newsboys' alley and turns them into a brass band the old soldier shoulders his musket, braces himself and uses with quick step and erect form on celebration Day or at The Encampment. It is the power of a thought. G. W. HOLBERT Exalted Ruler Ames Lodge We must believe in our capacity and in our capability and address ourselves to the task seriously of bringing in this reign of human brotherhood by appreciating ourselves. It cannot be done by the caste of vocation. We have a great amount of brains behind barber chairs and on delivery wagons and doing porters' work in small shops and one may conclude that because the labor is menial that a badge of inferiority is, thus placed upon the worker, but this is not necessarily so. The degradation, if there is any, is that of the man and not of the vocation. The servant in the house may be, as in the story, a drain man, or the bishop of Beneres or the rector of a fashionable parish and yet they may all be brothers. Brotherhood is not a punishment upon the man, the lines he draws against any because of humble position. Brotherhood cannot be brought by the accentuation of creeds and color. The good Samaritan exemplifies it. That man who went from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his left arm by the waside half dead; the prize on his way to ministration in the temple passed that way, saw the poor unfortunate and went by on the other side. They were both Jews. The Levite passed that way, saw the wounded man, manners, religion, who came that way, saw the human need and answered it by dismounting, going to the wounded man, pouring in oil into the man's cup, saw the man upon his own beast, took him to the inn, paid the inn keeper the price for his keep and charged him to take good care of the man, saying that "when I return again, whatever is lacking, I will pay thee." Such accession of creeds, color and condition, will hasten the reign of human brotherhood. The Results of this Lack of Brotherhood. Wherever this brotherhood does not obtain, there will continue to be unrest. Men and nations will fly at each other's throats. The struggle between them is the world, is this struggle for an equality, which can only be brought about through such a condition of human brotherhood. This is the essence of the struggle in England where men and the men of Ireland stand in threatening array against each other. The disposition of one part of the world to regard the other as inferior and to treat them as inferior, must lead and always will lead to a struggle on the part of the underman to the other. This organization the public peace will be more or less menaced. Such a policy has the effect of giving an exaggerated and dangerous sense of self importance to the superior and an incentive feeling of resentment or inflicted anger, you don't care indifference and stagnation on the part of the inferior. It stultifies the manhood—leads to the loss of self respect—to Jim Crow legislation and a segregation policy? It accentuates race consciousness; it puts the burden upon ourselves. We are to be the greatest force in our own uplift—say what we will about the contributions which others can make or will make to the race's progress—the major part of this work must be done by ours and homogeneity of leadership and a loyal unity. These are two of the factors which will mean much for our future development. You are doing a splendid work—rewarding the service—advancing the cause of enterprise hastening the golden age of brotherhood, when you oppose every form of prescription which is engendered in prejudice and shapen in race hatred. It may take your order somewhat beyond the tradition—bounds to fight these battles of humiliation and of the race, but self preservation may demand of you such a service with the necessary sacrifice. You fought for the race when in defence of your order; you went into the ensignia of the land and contended for that right and splendidly succeeded. It is this spirit of contention for every right which inheres to you as citizens of your family which members of a common respect for ourselves and which is our due from others. You can do a tremendous amount of good. by an open door policy. We are suffering greatly from a policy of good in church, in private councils in public legislation, in the institutions of public learning and enjoyment and elsewhere. There was a time when we were to have it at our welcome almost everywhere, if our public councils and have carried their public doctrines over the land under the auspices of national committees. They were honored members of the Nation and have grown of that desirable sentiment of the United States now all this is changed. It is the policy of exclusion which is working to our detriment and which is rewarding growth of that desirable sentiment of the United States. Unfortunately, this is not intended to the feeling of the so-called superior race against us, but it exists also among ourselves. The churches have in too large a measure the thought that we should give or welcome some particular class to the benefit of the others and so the fashionable churches leave the lower districts and betake themselves to the higher ones as if we, despite our creeds, color or view their doctrines, are essentially not brethren where they are. It matters nothing that their religious doctrines or doctries differ from ours; it matters nothing that their doctrines is different or that their competence is different. The power and influence for good of the doctrine of which we espouse can best be shown in its importance for reformation and salvation of men without regard to external conditions. Our method is all wrong—spying on men—hounding on them—keeping them under suspicion—so impregnate them under suspicion—so impregnate them under moss-grown thought that everybody must be the man guilty until he proves himself innocent, that we cannot rid ourselves of it. You find the gems, the diamonds, the pearls hid by the dust of discouragement. Youress men with the thought that they are welcome; the they are equally heirs to all that in the world and in the world to come. Nothing can be lost; nothing can be jeopardized by such conduct nor can they be the extent that we should in bringing the extent that we should in bringing the extent that we should in bringing the extent that we should in bringing the extent that there is somehow essentially a difference between the man who lives in the mansion and the man who enjoys the shine of the house or of the one who is in the shade of adversity. We need to get just appreciation of worth and dignity of humanity. A hymn by the choir followed and then came the offering. The Elks are the sum of $21.75 of which $16.75 and the rest to Rev.

(Marshall). Providence, I. A. 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 offered by 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 the board had been offered the matter was taken by different colored organizations and others interested in and the directors were urged to take action. Following is a statement given out by the directors after last evening's meeting: "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 we believe that the only test of eligibility continue to be as it always has been, character and moral worth, and that by such standards of selection the MR, WILSON AND "SEGREGATION." 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 by the government immediately how deep the colored body of the government 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 the investigation has been associated has kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one occasion this representative appeared before the civil service committee and helped kill the bill of Edwards of Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana making segregation legal throughout the federal civil service. Much of the situation has disappeared. When the U.S. government of the postoffice in Washington was abolished all the colored men employed lost their positions, but through the 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. And we demand Mr. Hawkins resignation. If Mr. 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 the Colored people were united in an united stand. He was much credit for their united stand. They are very irritant 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 hope that every member of the band and 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 if you 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 floor. Segregation, nevertheless, will exist in the business 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 courts having passed the same examinations and having the same rate of pay, must be separated in their work if the ancestors of any of them had a drop of Nregro 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 produced an attempted separation. Always the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. E.
