care Colored People Neglected?,,

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
The writer in yesterdays STAR under the
the above heading, using the signature of Gap
preparations" did an Observation-Disclosures
perhaps but still very serious injustice-to a
most deserving institution in emitting the
Children's hospital from the list of those given
III which colored folks are cared for The
cornerstone principle upon which the Chill
dren's hospital was founded and upon which it
has ever been conducted is the broad and gen.
erous ground that in the dispensation of its
benefits there should be no distinction in or
discrimination on account of sex, religion
race or color. Consequently ever since the
foundation of the hospital colored children
have had consideration and care equal in every
respect with those of white parentage. They
are waited upon by the same nurses, have the
same medical attendance and have the same
food. Not only this, but, in proportion to num-
bers of population, the advantages of the
hospital have been enjoyed to a far greater ex-
tent by the colored than by white children

HE WHO LAUGHS LAST LAUGHS
BEST.

Some of our Democratic friends
complain that we are too hard on
them since the election. They for
get that during the last four years
the Republicans received very little
comfort or consolation from Demo.
cratic sources. Four years ago the
Republicans couldn't get out or be
gotten out fast enough for the lingo
ing publicservice advocates of the
public trust order, and the Republic
can office holders or some of them
were sorely displeased because we
were in favor Of the Democratic
relief corps; now the Republicans
are just as anxious for scalps and
the Democrats eager to hold on to
the good things they have. There's
trouble if your in and there's trouble
if your out. In politics it's best to
be consistent with your friends and
liberal to your enemies, for the polt
ical tombstones seem to read: GAS
you now see me you soon shall be-"
The civil sevIce advocates of to-day
ridiculed the system four years ago
and now love it so dearly. Those who
don't believe in civil service rules
now may see the day when they
will stand up boldly for its princi
Pile. So the political world ever
wags.
