Last Saturday the Woman's club put
itself on record as of the opinion that
1t was undesirable for the color ques-
ton to be argued at the biennial to be
held at Los Angeles in May. This
seemed to be the wisest o which
could be made at present, and Marie
X. Mamie, who writes at length in a
recent issue of the Denver Times,
seems to have voiced the sentiments Of
a large majority of club women every
where. In part she says:
LAS a civilian, as a citizen of the IN
| tied States the colored member Of So
ciety should have every right and o n
| sideration vouchsafed a white man or
woman, and should be his or her
equal. In the club it is not so much a
question of equality or superiority as
Congeniality. Clubs-women's clubs
IT. particular-are mostly composed Of
friends, neighbors, women whose tastes
are in common and who enjoy the so
cial as well as the mental intercourse
| of club life; they are the widening cir
Giles of which domestic life is the en-
ter. Even supposing that no race feel
ing existed, and that the members Of
colored women's clubs were freely ad-
mitted to the federation. would they
enjoy it? Would they reap a benefit
from such association? Not at all.
They would feel constrained, unhappy,
out Of their element, and unable to do
themselves Justice, while the white
members Of the association would feel
| equally constrained and uncomfortable.
| The fact that the colored race was once
in slavery has nothing to do with the
matter. We see German maenner-
chors, French clubs. Russian clubs, It.
allan clubs. meeting of women's foreign
societies, at which the presence of an
American would be most unwelcome,
and 1t has been SO proven many a time,
demonstrated by black eyes and smash
ed noses, to say nothing of shooting
and cuttings, and other trifiing unpleas-
a%ntnesses al the result of the mingling
Of races. The appearance Of white
folks at a negro camp meeting is like
a wet blanket-all the enthusiasm, the
fervor Of their tropical natures 10
Quenched by the cooler Anglo-Saxon
blood, and scarcely knowing why the
negroes hang their heads. the singing
grows ~lifeless, the Amens' and Praise
de LAwds' die away and the meeting
breaks up early, no n knows exactly
