THE PRESIDENT'S BUNK. President Wilson addressed the delegates to the convention of the National Chamber of Commerce at Washington, Wednesday and handed them some choice morsels of bunk. "If the government ever falls into the hands of men from a single section, or with single interests, it must go to seed and die." "I would prefer that you receive me as if for the time being I were one of your own number," the president said, "because the longer I occupy the office that I now occupy the more I regret any lines of separation; the more I deplore any feeling that one set of men has one set of interests, and another set of men has another set of interests; the more I feel the solidarity of the nation, the impossibility of separating one interest from another without misconceiving it; the necessity that we should all understand one another in order that we may understand ourselves. "What has got to pervade us like a great motive power is that we cannot and must not separate our interests from one another, but must pool our interests. A man who is trying to fight for his single hand is fighting against the community and not fighting with it." Mr. Wilson is famous for getting off highsounding phrases and beautiful words, but when it comes to the test he is found wanting. He argues against the danger of separation and says that if the government ever falls into the hands of a single section it will to seed and been trying to accomplish.

Recently when representatives of a group of 10,000,000 American citizens called on him to protest against un-American treatment, he endeavored to justify the actions of his subordinates and became indignant because the spokesman of the delegation earnestly presented his case. The President should square his talk with his actions. "WHY JESUS WAS A MAN AND NOT A WOMAN." This book, which is just from the press is the third book by T. Mapp, 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. INFAMOUS LEGISLATION The Democratic House of Representatives has passed an infamous act, prohibiting the intermarriage of white and colored persons in the District of Columbia. The vote was about four to one but the fact that sixty members voted against the infamous measure shows that the idea of justice is not yet dead. The bill is an insult to one-tenth of the population of the United States. It strikes at the very foundation of Christianity for among Christians of every creed, marriage is regarded as a divine institution. There is no reason for such legislation. Caucasians usually marry Caucasians and Afro-Americans usually marry Afro-Americans. The number who marry interracially is wholly negligible. The real purpose of the Bill is to place a stigma upon the Afro-American people. The Clark Bill is really an open invitation to immorality and leaves the Afro-American woman without protection and an easy prey to vicious men of the white race. If there is to be any mixing of the races it ought to be done legitimately in Christian marriage and not in an immoral manner. It is not the proper function of the Government to draw lines of invidious distinction between its various classes of citizens and place on the statute books a law which in effect brands one group of citizens as unfit, classing it with imbeciles, idolats, defectives, degenerates and criminals. And then there is another point of view. The mixing which has already taken place has not resulted in degenerate specimens of manhood. The first blood spilled in the Revolutionary War was that of a mixed-blood — Crispus Attucks. Frederick Douglass, one of America's greatest orators, a patriot and a statesman was of mixed-blood. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the great literate and sociologist, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Booker T.

Every colored person ought to get busy at once and write to the Senators to vote against the state and ask them to vote against the bill when it reaches the Senate. Do it now. We are delighted to state that to the Minnesota delegation in the House, they voted against the infamous bill. 'COWARDICE ON THE PLATFORM.' COWARDSHIP ON THE PLATFORM. A recent issue of the Atlanta Independent had a full page of redhot editorial matter lambastig the cowardly curs who call themselves "leaders." If our esteemed contemporary will keep up this kind of work for a while, perhaps our Georgia brethren may be aroused from their lethargy and as the editor suggests, and these are his words: "Kick out of pulpits and platforms every Negro leader who does not protest against the indignities thrust upon us." Under the caption "Cowardice on the Platform," the editor says: "No race or people in the history of civilization ever endured a leadership of more consummate cowards. The average Negro is a coward in his own esteem. Void of respect, appreciation or manly resentment, he submits to every indignity, with apology, the white man inflicts upon him. When we speak of cowards, we do not mean physical cowards, but moral and intellectual cowards. The coward who hasn't the moral courage to resent a wrong. The coward who submits to every indignity imposed upon him by cowardly newspapers; the coward who accepts every jimcrow accommodation offered. The Jews will not read a paper that is hostile to the Jews. The Irishman resents with all his hot blood insults heaped upon his race by newspapers and other nationalities. The Japanese resents with all his manliness, with all his soul, with all his might, every wrong done him because of his race, his color or his condition. There is nobody a coward but the Negro; there is nobody that kisses the hand that smites him but the Negro; there is no race so divided against it self and is such a consummate band of bootlickers, cowards and sy cophants as black educated leaders. What we need is a manly leadership—one full of moral courage and intellectual bravery. Men who will tell the race of indignities that they ought not to endure, and how they may rid themselves of the agencies that seek to crush and undo it. Let us have a manly race; and we can only have a manly race by manly leadership." The cry of "Back to the farm" should now be changed to "Back to the ballot." The ballot is about the only thing that will check these outrageous assaults upon the constitutional rights of the colored people in this country. The Philadelphia Ledger is credited with the following, published as a good joke: "There was absolutely no evidence against the man you lynched." "No evidence? Why he was as black as the ace of spades." Well, there is no joke about that, it's a plain unvarnished fact that when an alleged criminal is accused of the strongest evidence of his guilt. The answer is for nine out of ten lynchings is the fact that the victims are black. n who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- dgment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- Do It Now Dear Congressman—Please speak, vote and work against the bill for separate Jim Crow cars in the District of Columbia. It is Un-American, UnChristian, an insult to every Colored citizen and a disgrace to our country. Yours for equality of citizenship. PROTEST AGAINST JIM-CROW CAR BILL FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. By National Independent Equal Rights League, Massachusetts Branch. The National Independent Equal Rights League, Massachusetts Branch, calls the attention of the American people to the present epidemic of race product against Colored American citizens by the congress of the United States under security. We would awash all patriotic citizens, especially of the North, to this brazen attempt to resurrect the Black Code of the Secured States immediately after the abolition of slavery. First, African exclusion, then anti-immigration, now a bill reported favorably to the House for Jim-Crow cars in the District of Columbia. And this is but a part of the program of race-hate. We call upon the Congressman of Massachusetts, regardless of party, and upon all other patriotic Congressmen to defeat this nefarious color-line bill. Such a law separating citizens by race in public carriers is a fundamental violation of democracy. It is class legislation, a public, conspicuous humiliation to the citizens thus segregated. If applied now to Afro-Americans it may be later applied to other race groups. Such segregations excite rather than allys racial hatred. It is not prejudice, a national government on earth, and is especially odious in a Republic. Segregation should be based not upon race and color, but upon character and conduct. Separate street cars in the District of Columbia would be an object lesson from all parts of the world, and would exhibit the degradation of Colored people from a bad in a state, but infinitely more injurious in the nation's capital and by government. It destroys equality of citizenship, and sets a precedent for proscription without limit. Never before in the century and a half of the Republic's segregation been found necessary. Surely it is now too late in the day of advancing Christian civilization to inaugurate any such practice and infamy. We appeal to all Christians and true Americans to rise in the might of public sentiment and, smiting the authors thereof, to sternly stop now for all time to insist on slaughter upon an ever-loyal tenth of the citizenry of our common country.

I hang my head for shame that a committee of the Anglo-Saxon Race, to which I belong, has reported to the Congress of the United States a to provide separate cars for Colored and White citizens of Columbia at the seat of the National Government. Such a bill, if presented at the close of the Civil War, fifty years ago, would have excited less comment. He later in our country's history to separate any class of our fellow citizens from another class in facilities for travel. Representatives of the Hebrew, Irish, Teutonic, Slavic and Latin races may ride there they please. If Booker Washington, on the ground of a degree of LL D.; Prof. Fletcher, with honor man at Yale; Du Bols, the editor of "The Crisis"; former Assistant Attorney-General Lewis; and William Monroe Trotter must be put into separate cars in Washington as being unassociate with their fellow citizens, it is more vigorous protest were made. This is much more objectionable in the capitol of the Nation than elsewhere. Visitors from other nations have been allowed to enter the public buildings will have an object lesson hourly before them in the separation and degradation of our fellow citizens. Library and other public buildings which it is sought to pass is a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for six months for anyone who violates its provisions, and this applies to those in charge of where fare is charged by any vehicle where fare is charged by porters, etc., are authorized as special police for its enforcement. Premeditated. That this is a part of a previously determined and defined Southern policy is obvious from written the Editor of this book by Thos. H. Caraway, who is one of those who reported the proposed law and made the stationery of the House of Representatives under date of October 1913: "Personally, I shall vote for every measure that tends to segregate the transportation reference to residence, transportation believe that measures of that kind will be passed at the coming term of Congress. This it appears that he wishes Colored people to live only in a certain part of the city, ride only on cars set apart for them, and to deprive them of opportunities where they can earn an honest life." The writer of this editorial takes this ground, that segregation is always a badge of inferiority and is so intended, and that any segregation is not a bad thing. Let no one think that we would do away with classes in society. There will always be a wide gulf between the educated and the ignorant, the educated and the coarse and vulgar and the gentle, but all these conditions are not based on a person having one-eighth or one-third-second of African blood in his veins but as*$^{2}$*based upon conditions of education and tame submission, not recent visit of the editor of this paper to the White House he had gone in at the back door with a basket asking for cold victuals, all would be taken to the front door of the White House and looked the President straight in the eye and asked for justice, he was met with the remark that he spoke of the "background of passion" and that the "acceptable" Tueze would repudiate the leadership wince to be more concerned with the superior advantage of leghorn pullets for farmers and the fact that there is not a leader alone. Let us pray for a leader of the ordered family in the South, than it is with the fact of the loss of the ball, lynchings, African exclusion, intermarriage and finally separation in cars, base a leader alone. Let us pray for a leader of the barnyard and get into the arena of freedom and the rights of man. Lose not Freedom Gained by Abolitionists.

BRIGHAM ALL HONOR TO THACHER AND FITZGERALD. First Victory Against Jim-Crow Car Bill Instance of Racial Self Help. Douglas Memorial and Protest Day, Feb. 21, (Special) New York, N. Y., Feb. 9, 1915: The first skirmish on the Bill for Jim-Crow Cars in the District of Columbia was won by the opponents of the Bill, yesterday, led by Rep. T. C. Thacher of Rochester, Rep. J. H. Fitzgerald of New York, Rep. J. Fitzgerald felt the desire to show they were not in accord with the Southern Democrats on this color line measure. When the session of the House of Representatives opened at 11 A. M. R. Reagan, the president, remonstrance of the National Independence Equal Rights League, Mass. Branch, to then. Rep. Fitzgerald moved substitution of the Sundry Civil Bill for the District of Columbia Car resolve, it being the regular law, by D. C. of the measures. The motion of Fitzgerald was carried 168 to 107 no. Rep. Clark of Florida was sore. The next regular day for District of Columbia Bills is February 22nd. The Equal Rights League appeals to the Afro-Americans in every city to hold a meeting on Sunday, February 24th to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement and to pass resolutions against the Jim-Crow Car Bill, asking Representatives to speak and vote against it, and mail a copy to every U. S. Representative. Congress from the state, South Carolina, and some northern Northern State's Congressman. The Massachusetts Equal Rights League passed and had its resolutions published on February 3rd, and mailed a copy to Rep. Thacher and the other Congressman from Massachusetts and Rep. Thacher answered the League request to send a copy to the Bill. Branches of the League from Boston to Kansas sent resolutions, while the D. of C. Branch went to the Capitol. But the Chief of all the Colored Citizens of Boston, through the activity of Secretary Trotter, sent a personal lobistbto Washington as a personal lobistbto Washington to the Bill. He was at the Capitol at 9 A. Monday and went to work on the Congressman. This Colored organization is proud of this self-help.

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 Dearborn during the March 19th House last afternoon, and, after denying anything offensive either in his speech or manner, told of the way in which the report of the hearing was given to the President, "As we left the President," said Mr. Trotter, "I told him I was very sorry if he still considered that I had offended him. The President smiled and said, O, we call it all right. When I was in the room, caucused in Sec. Tumulty's room as to what we should say for the newspapers. I told the newspaper men briefly about the conference, merely denied the affair. "I had gone outside," 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 public." I told Mr. Tumulty that I had done so in told Mr. Tumulty of the rules, and apologized. He accepted my apology. Then I asked the newspaper not to return, and Tumulty, and they consented. Mr. Tumulty he said was satisfied and I said he. 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 should say that I had offended the President of the United States." Did Not Lose Temper or Catechize, "I want to say," he continued, "that neither in manner, language, tone now in any other way was I discoureteous, impertinent or insolent to President Willem." "My whole attitude was that of endearing, 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 am confident, in wisdom, deliberateness and directness, likening the President full in the eye. "I did not quiz or catechize the President, and I did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty did not distract against and segregated in of my race against that. I should regard it as a benevolence and so represent it to my race. "Although it was a trying ordeal to listen to such a statement at length, it was not a negative of the Nation. I had at least a temper, much less jost my femper." 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 coloration of the people in Washington. The whole incident shows grimly and forcefully how deeply 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 Advancement of Colored People has been fighting segregation in federal departments ever since the first rumor of it was made public. Over a year ago an investigator was sent to Washington and a report printed. Since that time a representative of the national association has been 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 make the federal civil service throughout the federal civil service. Of the segregation has disappeared. When the U street station of the postoffice in Washington was abolished all the colored men employed lost their positions, but through the intervention of this association three of them were reinstated. When the number of men moved to its new quarters it was the original idea to segregate colored and white people throughout the entire building, but through the efforts of this association there is no segregation in the lunchrooms or on the roof garden. Segregation, nevertheless, Department and in the Treasury, and possibly here and there in a small degree in other places. It still remains true that for the first time in half century a President of the United States and distinguished members of his Cabinet have deemed the need to have clerks of these United States that clerks in the federal service, having passed the same examinations and receiving the same rate of pay, must be separated from the ancestors of any of them had drilled into their records. 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 the clerks have tested against the attempted separation. Always the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. E. SPINGARN, (Chairman Board Directors National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) 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 irate. I no other way can we account for it. We had a 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 disregarded and segregation not come until the President some of the executive departments. There is nothing in Mr. Trotter's remarks as reported which discloses any ground for the President's resentment. Possibly the speaker's manner of speaking 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 supported by 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 Demo. Another factor that the Colored people were segregated to the departments to avoid friction. But there was no friction until Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson got into the Cabinet and began to enforce in their deed 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 employee to one class of public employee by their Government with whom they are affected. The race affected had a right to be heard in their own behalf and showed a proper spirit in going directly to the President with their grievance. We fear that the President has lost his ability to deal with these extempore statements, made under the irritation that so easily besets him as in his more studied deliverances which compel the admiration even of his political opponents and the public officials. In the cases of his reasoning character of the policy he is commending. ABILITY CAUSES RACE HATRED. A novel explanation of the Russian dislike for the Jew has been given by Count Alexander Scherbatskoy, councillor 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 California 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.” where it is inconvenient. In The St. Paul Public Library By Colored Authors.

Unavoidable circumstances make it impracticable for me to join the delegation as field secretary of the conference of states who are to present a memorial you on Thursday, the 12th inst., invoking your intervention against the segregation of government employees on or elsewhere on the ground of race, and fully submit that such segregation violates the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, forces the degradations of Colored employees, the segregation of institutions, is subversive of American institutions, contravenes every principle of righteousness and justice and is a shameful reproach to our Christian nation.
