TO PREVENT RAILWAY DISCRIMI-
NATION.

There is now abill before the House
of Representative designed to prevent
discrimination on railroad cars on ac-
count of race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude, and it is the duty
of every colored man with a spark of
race pride, to see to it that this bill
becomes a law. The bill was introduc-
ed by Hon. Edward Morrell of Pennsyl-
vania, Nov. /, 1903, and is now in
the hands of the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce. If
this matter is agitated there is no rea-
law. The thing to do right now, how
ever, is to beseige the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce with
letters and requests asking it to call
up the bill. The following is the per-
sonnel of the Committee and the mem
bers can be addressed, House Of Repr-
sentatives, Washington, D. C. Write

ALMOST A KRNTUCKIAN.

Arriving in Washington early the

to Porter's Exchange IHotel where he
found several members of the commit
tee domiciled, After this a short while
was spent with Editor E. E. Cooper at
the office of The Colored American.
Brother Cooper is almost a genuine
Kentuckian, having married one of it's
most lovely girls some years ago and
in that way has established a relation
which Kentuckians are always willing
to recognize. Besides this The Colored
American is one of our best race jour
nails and fills a unique place in that
field"

MORE SHAMS.

Editor Colored American:-At the
Lafayette and Columbia theatres in
this city, Negro patrons are utilized
as dark border, or black belt for the
white patrons. No matter how early
they may come, or how high a price
they may pay, they find themselves
seated back against the wall, and on
the side tier of seats nearest the wall.
1t is astonishing that so many of
our so-called best colored people allow
themselves to be used in this way.
How they can enjoy the performance
under such conditions is beyond me;
and yet many of this class are loud in
the denunciations of Booker t. Wash
ington for being as they claim, lacking
in manhood.

Theatrical Managers Realize Their
Mistake Now.

The theatrical managers OF New
York realize the mistake of their as.
sociation in limiting the weekly adver-
tising OF each theater to $500 week
Since the season opened the business
at most of the playhouses in New
York has been so unusually poor that
IT. is likely that a special meeting of
the Theatrical Managers association
will be called at an early date to abol-
ish this rule altogether.
Patronage at theaters throughout
the country is generally poor previous
to national elections, but the business
at the New York theaters so far this
season has been almost demoraliZed.
At the end Of last season the The
atrical Managers association, which
has been in existence less than a
year. decided that the advertising ap.
preparation of the various playhousas
could be greatly reduced The pres
ent limitation of $500 for display aG-
vertisins in the seventeen dailies of
New York gives each theater a dis
play OF about a quarter of an inch.
