Congressman David Bremnes Hen
derSOn, who refuses to try for reelec-
ton in the third district of Iowa be-
cause of opposition to the tariff views
of some republican colleagues, has

Scotland, March IA, 1910. The family
came to America in 1916 and settled
on a farm in Winnebago county, H.

INDIGNANT AT EXCLUSION.
Shutting Out of CoIored Girl at Evan
ston Causes Furore.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-The exclusion of
a young colOred woman from Chaplin
hail. dormitory of goods at North
western university, continues to call
forth protests from professors of the
institution and other prominent resi-
dents of Evanston. There is talk of
bringing the question before the uni
versity trustees SO that the position of
the institution upon the color question
may become definitely settled. 1t is
not probable, however, that Miss Isa-
bella Ellis, the young woman whose
exclusion from the dormitory created
the furOre, will take action in the mat
ter herself. That Methodist college
should go on record as drawing the col
or line is very distasteful to the ma
jority of Methodists in Evanston.
Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, whose posi-
ton among the women of the negro
race in this country is something akin
to that which Booker Washington
holds among the men, said:
1t seems to me there is a revolution
in the Methodist Episcopal church-a
revolution backward. The first school
ing | received was from an auxiliary
of the Methodist Episcopal church, the
Freed Mans Aid Society.
TThe church was one of the great
est friends of the colored race during
and after the civil war period, but all
this seems to be changed, judging
from the Evanston incident. The col
cred people would sooner expect the
sun to move or the moon to turn back
ward than they would to have one of
the greatest institutions of learning Of
the Methodist church act as was done
in Evanston.
THE Y. M. G. A. has no use for col
ored boys, either. 1t is a sign of the
times, the old 81 feeling revived, and
means that the insolent demands of
the south, where a negro cannot dark
en- the door of white college, are be-
ing listened to and acted upon as the
southerners desire. There is a God,
but such incidents as that in Evanston
sometimes makes us lose faith in GER
tain kinds of religion.
