DRINK EVIL IN LONDON GROWS
SOLDIERS' WIVES TEMPTED.
One Plan Proposes Absolute Prohibition During War, Turning Bars Into "Tipperary Clubs"—Appeal to Citizens to Stop Buying Drinks For Soldiers. Duchess of Marlborough Active.
London.—Every day the demand in London for a stricter regulation of the sale of liquor during the war becomes more insistent. Military authorities are disgusted with the drunkenness of soldiers, brought about by the disposition of civilians to treat all men in uniform.
Lord Kitchener has issued numerous protests against the treating of his soldiers, but without the desired results. Even the closing of public houses at 10 o'clock at night has not cured the evil, and stricter regulations seem inevitable.
The increase of drunkenness among women, especially women whose husbands have entered the service, has fallen under the observation of social workers in all parts of London, and many delegations of prominent women have appeared before licensing justices in an effort to check this practice by regulation of some sort.

men were members of a delegation which recently visited Mr. McKenna at the home office and asked his assistance in battling the wave of alcoholism among women. Lady Byles, who presented the delegation, explained that the members represented different opinions socially and politically, but were unanimous in the opinion that the government should take immediate steps to check drinking among women. They furthermore believed that any regulation undertaken by the government should extend to men as well as women. The prohibition of the sale of liquor before noon was suggested as a regulation that would lessen the temptation offered by public houses. Such a curtailment of the hours of public houses would permit them to remain open only ten hours daily.
Mr. McKenna replied that it would require a new act of parliament to enable him to curtail the hours of liquor selling further. He promised to submit the suggestion to the house.
Lady French, Lady Jellicoe and other prominent philanthropists, who have established what they call Tippery clubs, where the wives of soldiers may meet, have found the need for such social centers so imperative and immediate that a plan has been devised to turn all public houses into such centers during the war, preventing the sale of alcoholies and offering only temperance drinks, besides food.
In his last days Lord Robberts made this appeal to the public to cease tempting soldiers with liquor:
"I feel it my duty to point out to the civil population that putting temptation in the way of our soldiers by injudiciously treating them to drink is injurious to them and prejudicial to our chances of victory."
Lord Kitchener recently made this appeal to the new army:
"The men who have recently joined the colors are doing their utmost to prepare themselves for active service with the least possible delay. This result can only be achieved if by hard work and strict sobriety they keep themselves thoroughly fit and healthy."
Sir James Crichton-Browne, the famous physician, in an interview on "Alcohol and the War," said:
"Tea has been one of the saviors of mankind. I verily believe that but for the introduction of tea and coffee Europe might have drunk itself to death. I am no uncompromising or fanatical opponent of alcohol. I believe it has played a part in human evolution, that it has its social uses and that it is an invaluable remedy in certain stages of unhealth and diseases. It is probable, however, that its evolutionary mission is fulfilled, and as regards its social use it is becoming more and more circumscribed."
KNOT TIED IN EYE MUSCLE
New Operation Marks Distinct Advance in Optic Surgery.
Philadelphia. A remarkable operation, representing the latest step in eye surgery and consisting of a method of tying knots in one of the muscles of the eye to shorten it and restore muscular balance, thereby curing squint eyes, was described here recently.
The operation has been named the "O'Connor method," after the originator, a western physician. The usual surgical operation for squint eyes is to shorten one of the eye muscles by taking out a section, but it has the disadvantage that frequently the sutures used to refasten the muscle will tear loose because of the strain. In the new method the strain is taken up by the muscle itself and there is no tearing of the sutures. One of the hospital physicians sad:
"In the few cases in which the new operation has been applied the suture seems to be soon absorbed, the knots of muscle gradually flatten out, without, however, making the muscle longer, and the shortened muscle perfectly does its work on moving the eyeball and exerting the pulling action, which brings the eye in alignment with the other one. The operation can be used in both types of squint, convergent as well as divergent, by shortening the proper muscle. The new operation is considered most interesting and is a distinct advance in the surgery of the eye."
SECOND STRAWBERRY CROP
Fruit Picked In November on Baltimore County Farm.
Baltimore. - Picking strawberries from a patch in the open air on a Baltimore county farm was the privilege this month of Miss Henrietta Sewell and Isabel I. Gibson of this city.
They were members of a week end house party at the home of T. Vickery Wedge, who owns the Mount Glead farm, near Woodensburg. In the morning they were invited to visit the strawberry patch, and Miss Sewell says they found enough of the ripe, luscious fruit to give each a bountiful plate. The berries were the second growth in the patch, which had borne quite prolifically during the berry season.
The patch was well protected from the cold north winds, as Mount Glead is a rolling tract of land affording good protection for the growth of fruits of all kinds late in the year.
HUNTS FOR HIMSELF OVER THREE STATES
Newspaper Man Loses Memory and Forgets His Past.
Lyons, Kan.-Walking out of his office in the middle of a busy day, leaving his family, friends and fortune and wandering through three states in search of some one who would identify him and tell him who he was, is the strange story of Frank L. Finch, a newspaper man of Littleton, Colo., who under the name of F. S. O'Dell was employed last winter as expert linotype operator in the office of the Lyons Republican.
About two weeks after his disappearance in response to a query for a linotype operator addressed to a Great Bend paper, F. S. O'Dell arrived in Lyons and went to work. He seemed satisfied with his job, and the Republican force had no thought Saturday night that he would "hit the road" before Monday morning.
Since January O'Dell seems to have wandered through Kansas and Nebraska "hunting for himself." Wherever there were crowds O'Dell went. He visited newspaper offices hoping some unusual printer would recognize him.
A short time ago he was working in a newspaper office in Clear Lake, Ia. While there his attention was attracted by an item signed "C. O. F.," Julesburg Colo., asking "F. L. F." to communicate with him O'Dell wrote.
Currance O. Finch recognized the handwriting as that of his brother and telegraphed him at once. O'Dell answered that there had been a mistake that he was not the man wanted.
White changing cars at Omaha he canon forget what he was doing and appalled to the police for assistance. The letter from his brother was found in his pocket, and he was notified. C. O'Fish came to Omaha on the first train and immediately recognized the man as his brother, Frank L. Finch.
KILLS COYOTE IN HOUSE.
Animal Invades Home and Explores Several Rooms.
Cottage Grove, Ore. -Coyotes have been committing many depredations in Creek county, according to a letter from Mrs. Fannie Morss of Post. One night the family of J. R. Knox was awakened by an unusual noise upstairs. Mrs. Knox went into the yard and could see a coyote tearing and biting at the window of the upstairs room in an effort to get out. Mr. Knox shot the animal.
An investigation showed that it had got into the house through a bedroom window downstairs, the tracks being plain on the bed that it had climbed over. The animal went through several rooms before going upstairs.
Mrs. Morss says that there have been many reports of rabid coyotes in that section, and that few go out after night without being well armed.
FRANK JAMES IS DYING.
One of Brothers, Formerly Notorious as Highwaymen, Has Heart Disease.
Excelsior Springs, Mo.- Frank James, one of the James brothers, notorious as highwaymen shortly after the war between the states, was stricken with heart disease and was reported dying at the James home, near here. He is seventy three years old.
James is one of the last survivors of the bank robbers, made notorious by an almost unparalleled career of crime during the unsettled period that followed the war. He has been living the life of an ordinary farmer for more than thirty years.
James was a son of a clergyman. He joined Quantrell's guerrillas in the war between the states, together with his brother, Jesse, and took part in the sacking of Lawrence, Kan.
When the war ended they were hunted far and wide by relatives of those who had met death at their hands. They soon became outlaws. Many crimes of the decade following the war have been laid at the door of the James-Younger gang, of which the only members left are Frank James and Cole Younger, now living at Lee's Summit, Mo. Among their deeds were:
Looting of the Russellville (Ky.) bank in 1838 for $17,000.
Bank robbery at Gailatin, Mo., in 1868, in which the cashier, Captain John W. Sheets, was slain.
Robbery of a bank at Columbia, Ky., in 1872, in which R. A. C. Martin, cashier, was killed.
Raid on a bank at Corydon, Ia., in which $40,000 was stolen in 1873.
The wrecking and robbing of Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific train near Council Bluffs, Ia., in 1873. The engineer was killed, the fireman wounded and several passengers injured.
Box office in the fair grounds at Kansas City, Mo., was robbed of $9,000 in broad daylight in 1873.
Detectives surrounded the James home near Kearney, Mo., Jan. 25, 1875, and threw a bomb into the house, thinking to kill the James brothers.
It exploded, tearing off the arm of their mother and killing their brother. Archie.
"WHEN IS A CHILD?" A PUZZLING QUESTION
"WHEN IS A CHILD?" A PUZZLING QUESTION
Adult University Students Claim They Are "Children."
Omaha, Neb.—When is a child? The question has been put up to the Omaha city commission, the street railway company and the teachers in Creighton university, and it has not been solved. A city ordinance provides that the street railway company shall sell at certain reduced rates tickets good for the transportation of "children attending school."
Several days ago a party of Creighton university students boarded a car and tendered the conductor the reduced rate tickets. The conductor refused to accept them, and the young men refused to either pay the full rate or get off.
Later a committee of the students called on the street railway officials and another committee went to see the city commissioners and then to City Attorney Rine.
"Nonsense, boys," said Rine. "You are not children."
"When is a child, anyway?" one of them demanded.
"I'll show you." answered Rine, picking up a dictionary. Then he read aloud:
"Child—A son or a daughter; a male or female descendant in the first degree; immediate progeny of human parents."
"Certainly we Creightonians are all sons, descendants in the first degree and the immediate progeny of human parents," the spokesman argued.
Rine read on a little further:
"A young person of either sex; one who exhibits the characteristics of a young person, as of knowledge."
Mr. Rine thought it might be possible to consider university boys in this category. But he looked further and found this definition:
One who, by character or practice, shows signs of relationship to or of the influence of another, as a disciple of a teacher, as a child of God, a child of the devil, a child of toil.
"We come under every one of those definitions," argued the twenty-eight-year-old six foot "child" at the head of the committee.
And City Attorney Rine had to acknowledge that he was right.
"But the ordinance says these reduced fare tickets are good for children only," the lawyer reminded them.
"And if we are not children, then the dictionary is wrong." quoted the six foot child as he pulled out a plug and bit off a big chew.
And so the case stands.
English Walnut Record
Galt, Cal.-On the farm of Alfred C. North at Valley Oaks a young English walnut orchard holds a record which many of the old settlers claim to be the most remarkable in the state. Last March North put out forty acres of young walnut trees. By actual measurement recently it was found that a number of the trees stand twelve feet high, showing a growth of ten feet in seven months. A large acreage in this vicinity is being planted to this variety of walnut.
War Correspondents Frequently Refer to Great American Civil War In Describing Present Day Struggles—Wisdom of Following Southerners' Example is Demonstrated.
London.—There is nothing more noticeable in the writings by the present British war correspondents than the frequent references to the American civil war and the tactics employed by the great leaders who directed it, particularly Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson.
British officers always have paid especial attention to the American civil war, but according to well informed military men it was the battles of the Franco-Prussian war which were considered best to repay study by British soldiers until the publication, about fifteen years ago, of "Stonewall Jackson and the American Civil War," by the late Colonel G. E. R. Henderson of the British army, with an introduction by Field Marshal Viscount Wolesey.
The two volumes of this work are quite familiar in the army cramming schools of London. It is studied closely by officers of all ranks, as is shown in the following estimation of its effects on British tactics, which was recently given in an interview by Colonel Willoughby Werner, late of the Rifle brigade, a fellow professor at Sandhurst of Colonel Henderson and later on the headquarters staff during the Boer war: "I know Colonel Henderson well, and for the three years prior to the Boer war we were both professors at Sandhurst, he of military history at the Staff college and 1 of military topography and reconnaissance.
"We often discussed questions of troop leading and the best way of handling men under modern rife fire. Before this, for many years, it had been the system of our staff college to accept the methods of the German armies in the war of 1870 as the beginning and end of all modern tactics. I had been audacious enough, when a student at the Staff college in 1882, to disbelieve this, and then had found few supporters. So I was delighted when one day Colonel Henderson told me that he had formed very similar opinions, adding that he believed there was infinitely more to be learned from the great civil war in America than from the Franco-Prussian war, and Colonel Henderson spoke from an unrivalled knowledge and close study of the campaigns in the United States.
"The accuracy of Henderson's views was demonstrated on many occasions during the Boer war, with the result that the whole of our British infantry since has adopted methods for developing rifle fire and of extended formations whereby the greatest possible amount of protection is obtained for those engaged in the firing line, combined with the maximum fire effect, which was the basis alike of the light division work in the Peninsular and of much of the successful fighting in the American civil war.
"According to all accounts, the Germans today adhere to their dense formations in the attack, as in 1870, and it is notorious how their attacks have been consistently met and repulsed by our British soldiers, fighting on more intelligent lines. The relative amount of execution thus attained will be known accurately only when the losses on both sides are reckoned up (officers at the front assert that it is as much as eight to one), but it can be said safely that, save when overwhelmed by numbers, the British methods have proved their superiority over those of Germany.
"It is no exaggeration to say that Colonel Henderson's book is viewed by all educated British officers as one of the very finest works on military art.
"In his own autobiography he writes: 'Henderson's delightful and instructive work on "Stonewall" Jackson and the American civil war I recommend to all our officers. They would find its well told story as intensely interesting as its teaching is sound and full of useful advice to Englishmen of today.'
"Few people nowadays know that in 1882 Woleseley, then a lieutenant colonel on the staff in Canada, obtained leave of absence on private affairs and unknown to his chiefs succeeded in joining Lee's army (as a spectator, of course). Here it was that he met several of the famous soldiers of those days and among them 'Stonewall' Jackson, of whom he writes, 'What a hero and yet how simple and humble minded a man!'
"Comparing Jackson with his great chief, Lee, he says, 'Both were great soldiers, yet neither had any Gothiclike delight in war.' What a lesson for the destroyers of Rheims!
"It was my honor to serve on Lord Woleseley's staff on active service and to have seen a good deal of him during his latter days, and I repeatedly have heard him talk with enthusiasm of the soldierly qualities of Lee, 'Stonewall' Jackson and other leaders whom he met during those eventful days in America."

HARDWARE WAS HIS DIET.
After Devouring 236 Pieces He Finally
Died of Indigestion.
Oklahoma City.-That it is possible for a man to turn his stomach into a veritable hardware shop and yet live and enjoy good health for years in again proved by a remarkable case which has just been reported here.
An inmate of the state hospital—a man twenty-seven years old—died after an illness of two weeks from what seemed to be acute indigestion. Previous to this illness he had apparently been in the best of health, aside from a weak mentality, and had been employed regularly at hard manual labor.
An autopsy revealed the fact that for several years this man had been secretly swallowing pieces of metal, glass and all sorts of other indigestible things. In his stomach were found 256 separate foreign substances, weighing all together one pound nine ounces. The assortment included nails, screws, rings, washers, nuts, safety pins, trousers buckles, glass beads, rings, collar studs and pieces of jewelry.
The remarkable feature of this case is that the man's physical health should have been so good for so many years in spite of this abnormal addition to his diet. Until a short time before his death his digestion was good and he was employed daily.
A somewhat similar case was reported a few years ago by Dr. A. H. Vandivert, who found in the abdomen of an insane patient after death 1,440 miscellaneous articles, weighing almost three pounds.
CATAMOUNT ROBS FARMER.
Jumps on His Wagon and Steals Two Dressed Chickens.
Sunbury, Pa.—Adam Sterner, an Augustville, Northumberland county, farmer, had an experience with a huge catamount that almost turned his hair gray. He was driving to the Sunbury markets with a load of produce and was passing through dense woods when he felt a heavy body land on his wagon, followed by spitting and "meowing" that were hideous.
Looking back, he saw two big balls of fire, the eyes of the largest catamount he had ever seen. It was pawing at the canvas cover he had over his load. With a revolver the frightened farmer fired twice. At the discharge of the weapon the cat jumped and escaped in the darkness. When he arrived at the market two fat dressed chickens were missing.
Kiel, Germany.—A pair of gray marines lie alongside the dock where the American sonderklasse yachts were moored on their last visit to Kiel. The warships anchored in the florid wear paint and have their torpedo nets rigged. A Red Cross flag flies from the Imperial Yacht club.
The skylights in the shipyard buildings have been blackened to prevent lights from within being seen by hostile aviators, and for a similar reason placards in hotel rooms bear the request that the shutters to the windows be closed before any light is displayed. As a further precaution against attacks by aircraft machine guns have been posted in inconspicuous positions on the roofs of the higher buildings, and occasionally sentinels may be seen on the tops of high structures. A broad expanse of fortifications and barbed wire entanglements is traversed here and there when one is driving on the outskirts.
These precautions have been taken against any possible attack on the all important Kiel canal by air or by land. Otherwise the Kiel of these days of warfare appears little different from the Kiel of ordinary times. In the harbor steamers and tugs, with long tows, go about their customary work, and in town, although there naturally is more activity, the people seem to be pursuing their ordinary course of life.

RAISES CHICKEN THIEVES.
Otherwise Known as Skunks, Which Are Profitable.
Greenville, Cal.—Greenville has now established one of the most unique industries in the state—namely, a skunk ranch. Early in the spring Will Stevens, a butcher, formerly of Goldfield, rented the F. W. Peck ranch and entered the business on a small scale. Young skunks were captured in various parts of Indian valley and placed in pens. They grew and multiplied rapidly.
The business proved so lucrative that larger pens of corrugated iron were made, and the number of skunks increased. The skins sell for from $3 to $6 each. The oil is also valuable and is sold to druggists. Stevens now has large skunks that will be ready for market in a couple of months.
The skunks will eat all sorts of scraps and waste food, but are especially fond of milk and vegetables. They seem to like human companionship and when called come to be petted. To see forty chicken thieves with their long, white striped bodies and bushy tails feeding at a trough like so many pigs is an interesting sight.
CHURCH WOMEN HUSK CORN.
On Farmer's Offer They Add to Aid Society Fund.
Marshalltown, Ia.—When Charles Miller, a Jasper county farmer, offered the Ladies' Aid society of the Christian church at Kellogg an acre of his best corn if the women would pick it, he found he could not run a "bluff". The women snapped up the offer in a hurry. Attired in overalls or in old clothes they in two hours picked and cribbed the entire acre, which yielded forty-eight bushels. A citizen who was interested in the society's work offered the women 80 cents a bushel for the corn and an additional 5 cents if they husked it. This they did.
Four other citizens agreed to donate 5 cents for each bushel husked, so that the forty-eight bushels brought the church women $1.05 a bushel or $50.40, which goes into the society's treasury.
HUMPBACKED SALMON ARE MOVED TO MAINE
Bureau Places 7,000,000 Eggs In Hatcheries There.
Washington—Seven million eggs of the humpbacked salmon spawned in Alaska waters have been rushed across the continent by the federal bureau of fisheries to replace the all but extinct Atlantic salmon of Maine waters. Their destinations are the bureau hatchery stations at Green Lake and Craig Brook, Me. Dr. H. M. Smith, director of the bureau, is personally interested in the attempt to give Maine a new salmon industry.
With the single exception of the Penobscot river, where Atlantic salmon come to spawn, there are but few salmon left in the waters of Maine. In the fall of 1913 the bureau sent 16,000,000 humpbacked salmon to that state, but because of the tendency of that species to spawn prolifically only every second year the bureau is planning to liberate a new stock of the young fish next spring, which will spawn, it is expected, in the "off" year.
The humpbacked salmon will spawn near the mouth of a small river or stream, while the other Pacific coast varieties as well as the Atlantic salmon insist on the headwaters of large streams as spawning places. The Chinook salmon of the Columbia river will very often "run" 2,100 miles upstream to spawn, while the humpbacked variety has no objection to spawning as near as 2,100 feet to the mouth of the stream.
FLOWER STALK SAVES BOY.
His Guardian Uses It to Pull Him Out of Cistern.
St. Joseph, Mo.-A sunflower stalk in the hands of Mrs. Adeline Grimm saved the life of six-year-old Francis La Bouff, who had fallen into a cistern in Mrs. Grimm's back yard.
The boy was playing near the cistern, and when he stepped on the covering the rotten boards gave way, and he plunged through into the water. Mrs. Grimm, who is the boy's guardian, heard his screams, pulled a tall sunflower out by the roots and thrust one end through the hole. The youngster clung to the end of the stalk while she pulled him from the water. The water in the cistern is more than six feet deep.

FEVER MENAGE IS REDUCED
Percentage of Disease Decreased 18 Percent In Past Year, Says Brigadier General Gorgas in His First Annual Report—Rate For Alcoholism Lower than It Has Ever Been Before.
Washington.—In his first annual report as surgeon general of the United States army, Brigadier General William C. Gorgas says the time has come when the United States can be assured that it can maintain a state of hygienic competence that will warrant the holding of large bodies of troops in the field indefinitely. Figures submitted by General Gorgas indicate that of all the armies in the world that of the United States is the healthiest.
The report further shows that the percentage of disease in the United States army is the lowest it has ever been and that since 1912 this rate has been decreased approximately 18 per cent in the United States proper, while the rate is also lower than at any pre

vious time among the troops on duty beyond the continental limits of the country. It is interesting to note that at no time in the history of the army has the rate for alcoholism been so low. "It is especially satisfactory," says General Gorgas, "in view of the extension of white races toward the tropics, to state that the rates for malarial fevers are the lowest since 1908, when our troops were first permanently stationed in the tropics."
The hospital corps of the army, the surgeon general says, should be made more attractive, because under present conditions there is little inducement in the pay to draw to it of men of intelligence that are necessary to perform efficiently its many and specialized duties. Pharmacists, surgical, laboratory and sanitary assistants, expert nurses and cooks can get better pay as well as better hours, out of the army than in it, he says.
"The reorganization of several new field hospitals and ambulance units during 1914." General Gorgas continues, "only in part remedies the giarrh defect observed in the shortage of mobile sanitary units. Our present personnel permits only a half of the regular army in the field to be served by the sanitary units prescribed by field service regulations. In view of the great battle losses to be expected in modern wars it is a serious responsibility to rely upon improvised units that must serve at the front.
"The great reduction in the amount of preventable disease foreshadows great economies to the government as practical application is developed. Until comparatively recently the duties of medical officers were almost entirely confined to the care of the sick and wounded. In keeping with modern tendencies specialization has developed and to their former duty is now added that of sanitary science with the practice of preventive medicine in the field and garrison, the handling and disposal of the sick and wounded in campaign and the various specialties of the civilian physician and surgeon. All this requires preparation and training unknown in past years. The medical corps is the only portion of the army not included in the plan of education of the army instituted when Senator Root was secretary of war.
"It seems time that a comprehensive scheme was adopted to keep medical officers trained and abreast of the times in both their medico military and strictly professional duties.
"For some years it has been necessary to constantly employ from ninety to 100 members of the medical reserve corps with troops. It is desirable that the medical corps be large enough to perform all the duties required in peace, and any reserve of trained medical officers be effected in other ways. In time of war there will be demands or medical officers that the corps will
able to meet. A sufficient num-
meet requirements in peace is
separation to meet the de-
partment the medical department in

"WHY JESUS WAS A MAN AND
NOT A WOMAN."
This book, which is just from the press is the third book by Mr. Tapp in which he interprets the Sex-Law of the Bible. His first book on the subject, "The Truth About The Bible" came from the press about two years ago. About a year after that, his second book, "Sexology Of The Bible" followed. In these books, Mr. Tapp contends that all sin of the Flesh is in the Sex-Senses and that is the reason that Jesus did not have a natural father. He is a lawyer and has done a great work for the inspiration of the Bible and the Divinity of the Christ. He has answered all the school of the Ingersoll's, etc. He shows that the fall of man was a matter of the Flesh and the Sex and that the Christ had to be conceived without a natural father in order to be a perfect man and Redeemer of the world. His idea is, The Law of Sex is the Key of the Bible. The Idea is arresting the attention of the great thinkers of the world. The books may be secured by addressing Sidney C. Tapp, Kansas City, Mo. They should be in every home and every library of the world.

SAYS PRESIDENT LOST HIS TEMPER
Leading Daily Newspaper of Lexington, Kentucky, Supporter of the Administration, Sternly Rebukes President Wilson for Losing His Temper When He Received the Trotter Declaration
(From the Lexington Herald, Lexington, Ky.)
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. Of the women who are striving to secure equal suffrage approach! he has too much to resist 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 of passing to him. A number of Negroes, representing various Negro organizations, are present in the departments at Washington. The spokesman of the delegation reminds 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 states are presumed to be the servant of all the people; he is not the master but the servant. Under it 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 official, the servant of those who elect him, paid by them to administer it. 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, are the weaker race, are those who appeal to him. If he believes that the United States should govern the government he should have no hesitation in so stating frankly and giving it thereafter. 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 matter 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 States, the Chief Executive officer of the greatest republic in the world, this the most oppressed of all nations, willing to stand before the peoples of the earth as a 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, people, that any race is to be set aside as distinguished from another races? 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? At what point will the 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, gentle, Protestant or Catholic—whatever the breed, whatever the creed master and 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 humblest citizen the same protection and the same treatment accrued by the powerful. Neither breed nor creed, neither culture nor vocation should detain the patient accorded to a citizen by a servant. We are distressed that the President himself with those who believe in the perpetuation of race prejudice and justice as a private citizen, every man has the right to determine his own course; as 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 an 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.
Jack Johnson was indirectly the cause of a splendid but peculiar funeral for Walter Campbell, an Afro-American barber of Little Rock, Ark., this week. Just before the Johnson-Jeffries fight Campbell made a wager with the leading white undertaker of the "City of Roses" that if Johnson lost, that he would shave the undertaker free as long as he lived; and if Johnson won and Campbell died and furnish the best funeral possible. Johnson won and campbell died and on last Tuesday the undertaker furnished the most costly casket in his establishment, a dozen carriages and an elaborate funeral for Campbell.
President Wilson has nominated the present Register of the Treasury, Gabe E. Parker, to be superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes in Oklahoma, and the Senate has confirmed the appointment. Who is to take Parker's place we wot not.

ABILITY CAUSES RACE HATRED.
A novel explanation of the Russian dislike for the Jew has been given by Count Alexander Scherbatskoy, counselor of the Russian embassy in Washington.
The count said that Russians objected to Jews because they were more capable than the Russians and not because they were of a different race and faith.
"There is not much difference between the Jewish question in Russia and the Japanese question in California," he declared. "The Californiaians know the Japs are more clever than they are. The Russians know that they can not compete with the Jews. Their fear of the Jews is based on economic considerations."

Statement to the American People by Masa Meeting Under Independent
Equal Rights League at District of Columbia.
Rosemary T. Kirkpatrick
We, citizens of the District of Columbia and of the United States, meet in mass meeting today, under the auspices of the National Independent Equal Rights League, to enter our emphatic protest against the pronounced tendency in American law and public opinion to draw the color line against us in the citizenship, in most of the relations of life, and to appeal, first, to the Afro-American community and acquit them as men, in fearless contition for equal rights in the making of the land, State and Federal, and secondly, we appeal to the American people, and especially to the sons and daughters of the old Abolitionists and the soldiers "who gave their lives freely that we might have life more abundantly," to give us their sympathy and active support in the contention we must for absolute justice, equally with others, in the making and enforcement of such laws, and against vicious public opinion which would make difference because of race and the household of citizens and citizens and Christians and Christians, we all being the Household of Faith, because the Nation has so decreed it.
Federal Policy toDraw Color Line.
We make this appeal at this time from the highest authority in the National Government to draw the color line, country denominate and denounce as a far inferior" that they may not assoc. service, nor hold employments that sort of citizens, but that they must the Government departments and Influence of the Government, such employment having competitive civil service examination color was the test of preferment.
Refuse to Accept Segregation as N.Don't
The contention set up by those we just complain of and protest a works no forfeiture of citizen rights be we do not accept, and which we do not will accept, as just to the government nowhere justified by the Federal Co. Faith, nor by the history of the people we do not accept, and which tell us bluntly that we are incapable grading and humiliating, our nerver than blunted by the policy of by the present administration of the The Nation, and armed are our only essentially political, and we lie as we do.
Segregation Policy Will E
We believe this Nation is passim crisis and that the issues of life and the people of the Nation shall be called judgment for or against the response unintended on account of race and color; a police if adopted, extended indefinitely to the compose the national population.
We make this appeal at this time because it has been ascertained by us from the highest authority in the Nation that it is the policy of the Federal government to draw a color line, to make what the newspapers of the country denounce, to impose a penalty on those who sort of citizen it considered to be, as Chief Taney declared it in 1856, "so far inferior" that they may not associate together in the same governmental order, and hold employments that place them in authority over another sort of citizen. We also assert that the Government departments and in the Railway Mail Service, in the matter of their working and eating, and other relations, as employees of a common Government, such employment having, for the most part, been obtained in the form of actual positions where actual merit and not race and color was the test of preferment.
Refuse to Accept Segregation as Not Humiliating—Reflection to Say We Don't Feel It.
The contention set up by those highest in authority that the segregation we justly complain of and protest against is not political in character and works no forfeiture of citizen rights, and is not supposed nor intended to be degrading and humiliating in its operations, is an interpretation which we do not accept, and which we do not believe fair-minded American citizens accept, as just to the government or fair to us, as such segregation is nowhere more important than nor by our common Christian Faith, nor by the history of the persecuted Jews thousand years; and, with what, it is a reflection upon our common humanity to tell us bluntly that we are incapable of feeling such segregation to be degrading and humiliating, our nervous sensitivities have been sharpened rather than blunted by the policy of segregation and negation of us practiced by the present administration of the Government during the past two years. The questions involved are not only political in character but vitally and politically, and we believe the Nation will so construe them, even as we do.
Segregation Policy Will Extend to Other Race Groups.
We believe this Nation is passing through both a physical and spiritual crisis and that the issues of life and death will be decided ultimately, when the people will be judged for or against the responsible Government at Washington in its unrighteous policy of discriminating against the citizenship of the country on account of race and color; a policy of discrimination that can, and will be enforced by the to one hundred and one race groups that compose the national population.
Appeal Against It to God and Our Fellow-Men.
In conclusion we appeal from the announced policy and practices of our Government to the God who made us, and to our fellow citizens, who love justice and detest injustice, "the canker and the worm" that eat out the life of Nations, in the firm belief that we shall not appeal in vain.
TROTTER'S SPECIFIC DENIAL OF
INSOLEENCE TO PRESIDENT.
Interview in Boston Globe of Nov. 17, 1914.
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 if he still was in any thing offensive either in his speech or manner, told of the way in which the report of the hearing was given to the newspaperman.
"As we left the President," said Mr. Trotter, told him I was very sorry if he still was in any thing offensive or fended him. The President smiled and said: "O, we'll call it all right."
"When we came out our delegation caucused in Sec. Tumulty's room as to what we should say for the news," he said. Mr. Trotter 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 in ignorance of the rules, and apologized. He accepted my apology. Then asked the newspaper not to help him with 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 official should say that I had fended 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 discourete, impertinent or insolent to President Whole. My whole attitude was that of endeavoring, on the spur of the moment, to answer a piece of masterful sophistry and to refute it successfully and feeling a great responsibility to do so, I spoke with positiveness, deliberate and 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 criminate against and segregated in the United States, and I 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, I had at no time 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 accuse Mr. Clinton of being quick resentment which he exhibited while W. M. Trotter, of Boston, as chairman of a delegation of Colored men undertook to show him that Colored employees were unfairly dispermitted to declare or segregation charges against them, 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 turned on the woman suffrage delegation 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 there was no friction until Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burklet got into the Cabinet and began to enforce in their departments the principle of the Jim Crow law. The segregation practiced is wrong in principle because it is disagreeable and unfair to one class of public employees
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 for grievance. We fear that the President will 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 of the opponents and often skillfully correct the final claims 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 toward him, or for the persecution him to abandon the corporate policy of several Cabinet officers in drawing the color line in the Federal departments. The subject under discussion was the fate of the president of fifty years and the spirit of the institution 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 was 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 are responsible for the narrow-minded employees from white jobholders.
The incident recalls the similar vexation shown by the President when he abruptly dismissed an equal suffrage candidate on the ground that he could not "submit to cross-examination."
When a man is right, he will usually lie to the other side; when he knows he is right, he is very likely to 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.,
Honorary 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 the president of the 2nd inst. in invoking your intervention in the segregation of government employees at Washington or elsewhere on the ground of race or color. I respect that such segregation violates the spirit and the constitution of the United States, forces hardships and degradations of Colored employees, undermines civilization, is subversive of American interest, and is a shameful reproach to our Christian religion. Segregation represents not the ideals of freedom but the justice of humanity, and that you 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 the nation. (Signed), WM. A. SINCLAIR,
Field Secretary Constitution League.

Leading Daily Newspapers of the Country Rebuke the President for Condoning the Jim Crow Policy of the Southern Members of His Cabinet.
NO JIM-CROW GOVERNMENT.
(From the New York World.)
The President ever suffered more from the harsh circumstances of his Catholic school. He had a further illustration of it yesterday in his unfortunate interview with a delegation of colored men to house to protest against the segregation of races in Government departments.
The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying democratic government. Mr. Wilson, the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the colored clerks, but explained that "he had been informed that he had been neglected and had been started to avoid feeling the races, and not with the object of injuring the colored men." The President failed to explain, nevertheless, no such rule had been considered and Mr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet.
For nearly half a century white clerks and colored clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington, under republican and under democratic presidents. The World keeps itself fairly well informed of Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard was a sudden friction to which Mr. Wilson referred. Mr. McAdoo began his Jim-Crow proceedings in the Treasury Department
The president thinks that this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, disjunctive, and un-American in government is not a political question. Servants of the United States Government, regardless of race or color. For several years a colored man has been Collector of Internal Revenue, and he found it necessary to segregate the white employees of his department to prevent "friction"; yet he would have had quite as much right to do so as McAdoo had to segregate the colored employees of the Treasury in Washington. While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few of the white employees have been allowed to solicit petty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact justice. Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation thinks was promulgated as a deliberate discrimination against colored employees.
Worse still, it is a small, mean, petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow government moment he was established. He ought to have been a reproach to his administration and to the great political principles which he represents.
THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGATION.
{From the New York Evening Post.}
It is a sad blot upon the Wilson
Administration that it has tolerated,
nay, harassed, real cause, save, as Mr. Trott truthfully put it, the racial antipathies of Messra. Burleson, John Skellton Wilson and a distinguished institution talks about a New Fremont and boasts of having bestowed a new liberty upon business men, not only to be blind to the wrongs of full-time workers, but to add to them is truly discouraging. Mr. Wilson can feel keenly for the governmental wrongs of the "subgroup" 85 percent of the people of Mexico, to many of them and of a mixed parentage, but he has yet to say a really sympathetic word about the wrongs of the millions in their own government.
Again, Mr. Wilson is reported to have resented Mr. Trotter's statement that if this discrimination were not ended, the Afro-Americans who voted for him would not have received a ticket, and to have declared that this was "political blackmail." But this is the time-honored American way of showing disapproval of an elective officials conduct. When Mr. Wilson was elected, he declared: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for every by which I could assist in advancing the cause of the United States. On the strength of this many colored people and their white friends advocated Mr. Wilson's cause, who would rather have cut off hands than have ended them. Soon after he was intending to draw the color line in the departments upon the excuse that there is a certain point in the relations of the races where friction must be avoided, he said: "I would fair dealing nor advancing their cause, but putting it back, because it sets the stamp of governmental approval upon color prejudice. To expect after this that the problem can be solved, it is quoted as urging, is to expect the impossible.
With Mr. Wilson's feelings as to the ultimate solution of the race problem, we are not today concerned. He may or may not have a constructive programme to suggest to the issue. He may not have a faithful English earth shall be established in Washing
ton or not. We had supposed, after the investigations of last winter, that the vicious policy had been checked; we understood that it was to be aban-
stances the Jim-Growing had, we know,
been stopped. The more discouraging
is it to find the President apparently
upholding what the World just calls
the "foolish indiscretions of members
of his Cabinet." There was no gen-
dation of the President in Washington. Colored and white employees had worked side by side for fifty years. Some of them had been appointed by Grover Cleveland—one of his appointees to high place be-
fore the election. Another of the Fifty-fifth Massachusetts. But the Wilson Administration went out of its way to create the issue it now deplores, and cannot see its way clear to admitting its mistake and re-
porting to the only defensible position
of equality in the Government service.
The way to deal with race prejudice in such matters is not to enhance it by yielding, but resulteutly to confront it with a refusal to give in. It is more surprising when it happens away in a given situation when it finds itself wholly blocked. It is even more surprising how frequently it is merely a state of wind. Often there is no objection whatever to the presence of colored people on the most familiar streets, but when it is clearly stamped as menial; let them deeply aspire to equal privileges, and those same people become at once too offensive to be permitted to breathe the same atmosphere. The situation in Washington would be restored in a more satisfactory way, and a satisfactory status; if the highest authority were simply to lay down the law that there was going to be a square deal for everybody in the departments without the slightest discrimination; that there can be only a few instances ofrants be treated with courtesy, consideration and absolute justice.
THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGA TION.
(From The Indianapolis News.) The government, which makes laws for all collects taxes from all, and summons them to attend a time of war, cannot rightly make such distinctions. When men and women enter the public service they ought to be ready to conform to that government, but having entered it, having made his choice he should comply with the conditions of his employment. The government is not wholly economic as its Wison seemed to think it was—it is political as well, not in the narrow partisan, but in the broad sense. The people of the United States would oppose the adoption by their government what thing resembles the Jim Crow policy.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN.
(From the Chicago Tribune.) We are not ready to concede that any woman with leadership has less standing under the law, but we are ready to the south wishes to make any such issue as this it will find that the north, where there is prejudice, is nevertheless realess when as a part the nation it is asked to declare that the woman with leadership is a piece of hypocrisy and does not apply where it is inconvenient.
DR. SPINGARN'S SECOND TOUR
Well-Known White Advocate of Justice to Tour Country Again.
Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association of Colored People, and one of the most persistent white advocates of justice and equal rights for Afro-Americans, is soon to make a second tour of the country in the interests of the cause of our people. That last January he addressed memorials in troft, Chicago, Quincy, Kansas City, Topeka, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Cleveland, attracting very large audiences wherever he went, and nearly wide publicity in white papers for the cause of justice to the Negro.
Dr. Springarn will speak at Wilmington, Delaware, on November 22nd, at Washington, D.C., on November 23rd, and at Pa., on November 24th. His main tour, however, will not begin until next January, and he then expects to speak at New York, at Columbus, Springfield, St. Joseph, Bus. Moines, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Millwaukee, and other cities. He hopes to succeed tours to cover every state in the country, burning message of freedom to the whole nation. All those who are interested in his coming tour, which like any other tour, can be carried on entirely at his own expense can obtain further information from Miss May Childs Nerney, secretary of the National Association for the Adolescent, People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
Dr. Spingarn was for twelve years Professor of Comparative Literature in Columbia University, New York, and the University of Pennsylvania, international reputation. He brings to this cause not only learning and ripe scholarship, but eloquence, practical experience, and a passionate sincerity. He has taught for over 10 years ago, and for the last ten years he has given uniting devotion to the cause of black folk. He is a man of independent means, who has never been a slave. He is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which he is chairman, has a membership of about 5,000, with branches in over thirty cities over the country; he is the chief benefactor of the publication under its direction, a circulation of over 35,000 a month. Among its other directors are Miss M. Bentley of Chicago, Archibald H. Grizzle of Washington, Moorfield Storey of Boston, and Oswald Garrison Villard, John E. Milholland, Rev. John Haynes E. W. Dr. E. W. Du Bois, Charles W. H. H. H. Bentley, Miss Mary White Ovington, Mrs. Florence Kearney, Kennaaday, and William English Walling of New York. It is the only organization in the world that supports black people together for the equal rights of black folk.
Superiors Never Burn Inferiors. (Portland Advocate.)
A superior race will not yinch and but an inferior race simply because they are not as strong as the superior and brutalities will not be permitted against human beings by a superior race and then seek to find ease and comfort in the violence of violence simply on the basis of color.

Cepesrat E> ae: Saar
Providence, R. I. At last the decl-
sion 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 folowing report:
‘That no distinction because of race
or sect will be considered in receiving
applications for membership in the
Providence Young Men's Christian As-
sociation was the decision reached by
the board of directors of that institu-
tion at a meeting held last evening.
‘This action was taken by the direc:
tors because of objections from some
persons to the admission of Colored
men to membership in the organiza-
tion and particularly in the many ad-
vantages offered by the new building.
As soon as it became known that
objection had heen offered the matter
was taken up by different colored
organizations and others interested
and the directors were urged to take
action. Following is a statement giv-
en ont by the directors after last eve-
ning’s meeting:
‘The Note.
“The Providence Young Men’s Chris.
tan 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 re:
ceiving applications for membership
because of race or sect. We believe
that the only test of eligibility must
continue to be as it always has been,
character and moral worth, and thal
‘by such standards of selection ith
MR WILSON AND “SEGREGATION.”
New York—To the Editor of THE
APPEAL. Sir: The interview of Wil-
liam Munroe Trotter and the delega-
tion 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
shows grimly and forcefully how deep-
ly the colored people of this country
feel the injustice which Mr. Wilson's
government has inflicted upon them
and still inflicts.
‘The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People has been
fighting segregation in federal depart-
ments 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
& representative of the national as-
sociation has kept in close touch with
the local situation, and on one oc-
casion this representative appeared be-
fore the civil service committee and
helped Kill the bill of Edwards of
Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana mak-
ing segregation legal throughout the
federal civil service. Much of the
segregation has disappeared.
When the U street station of the
postoffice in Washington was abol-
ished 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 suff
cient ‘for this board to declare that
no reason exists for any change in
the principles which have heretofore
governed the association in its re
quirements for membership.”
‘And we demand Mr. Hawkins resig
nation. It seems to. us that it 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
effort and they should be given much
credit for their united stand. They
are very jubilant over the vietory.
‘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
reader of the Guardian will read the
letter from the pen of M. E. L. Sing
sen, a white man, to the Providence
Sunday Journal and see if you think
that all our friends are dead, We wist
to say to those who live in towns
and cities where segregation is pro
posed, fight it with all your might an
if you need any points we will gladly
give you the benefit of our experienc
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
ullding, but through the efforts of
this association there is no segrega
tlon in the lunchrooms or on the roo!
garden, Segregation, nevertheless
‘still exists in the Postoffice Depart
ment and in the Treasury, and pos
eibly here and there in a small de
greo in other places.
It still remains true that for the fret
tlme in half century a President o
the United States and distinguished
members of his Cabinet have deemed
Mt necessary for the peace and quiet
of these United States that clerks ir
the federal service, having passed the
same examinations and receiving the
same rate of pay, must be separates
in thelr 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 othe
cases clerks of all colors have pro
tested against the attempted separa
tion, Always the separation ha:
caused humiliation and inconvenience
and added cost.
