SEPARATION OF THE RACES.

good deal has been written about
| the social barriers which have been
erected in the south between the white
race and the negro. People are familiar
with the agitation which has resulted
in the adoption of the Jim Crow car
separate seats on street ears, and dis
examinations in theaters and other
places of public assembly. A writer
in the American Magazine shows an
other developing tendency which is
helping even more to widen the breach
between the races. 1t is the tendency
toward economic separation in the lines
of ordinary trade.
A striking illustration is afforded by
The story of a shoe store. managed by
negroes and patronized exclusively by
people Of that race in Atlanta, Ga.
When asked the reason for the enter
prise the proprietor said that the
treatment accorded negroes in the
white mans shoe store was unsatlS-
factory. Clerks showed Scant courtesy
to a negro customer. If there were
white patrons their wants were sup
piled before any attention was paid to
the waiting negro. This attitude to-
ward the negro customer prompted the
idea Of the opportunity for business an
furnishing shoes to negroes by store
keepers Of their own color.
Following out the hint given by this
instance, the writer discovered in the
city of his investigation that there is
an increasing tendency to complete
economic separation. Drug stores kept
for negro customers by negro pharn1a-
cists find abundant patronage because
Of the growing practice of negro physl-
clans. who recommend the store owned
by one of their race. Grocery stores.
photograph galleries, restaurants,
printing offices. barber shops. saloons
'for negroes only" with corresponding
ones for whites only" were found.
Difficulties in the way of success were
frankly stated by the intelligent pro-
prietors, such as unfamiliarity with
business methods and the lack Of finan-
cial responsibility on the part Of the
patrons.
But such difficulties are not counted
insuperable. and the feeling was
strong that negro business houses for
negro customers only Will develop more
land more The economic loss to the
white man, especially in cities where
negroes are in the majority, must be
considerable. A multitude of small
buyers spend large amounts in the ag-
gregatc. Even if this phase Of the sub
ject be entirely disregarded by the
white people the economic separation
bodies i'll for the future. It means in
creasing division of interest. 1t means
the loss of the feeling of dependence.
It means the strengthening of the social
consciousness of the negro. 1t means
greater emphasis of the wall of division
which has been growing higher with
each passing year.

AFTER THE NEWS
Information Bureaus Seek Standing
Of President Roosevelt

NEW YORK. May 1.-The move
ment recently started by some of the
railroads to discover the correct atti-
tude of the public toward President
Roosevelt's policy has proved so sue
oessful that the plan is rapidly being
adopted by other roads. especially in
the west. The greatest secrecy has
been maintained in obtaining the de-
sired information. From leak how
ever, there drifted out today news that
the information gathered by the rail-
roads has not been of a character to
reassure those executive officers who
opposed the recent Investigations.
In fact. it was admitted that through
out the west the president is even
stronger today than he was before the
Roosevelt Hartman controversy. AS
one railway president put it:
Just now the public is in a frame of
mind to believe everything President
Roosevelt says and discredit anything
! Hartman might say on the opposite
side. In my mind, the president is at
fault in denOuncing, at this time Debs,
Meyer and Haywood as undesirable
citizens: but from what we can learn,
his statement has gone a long way to-
ward helping him out of an awkward
position
The method which has been adopted
by the railroads to sound the public
sentiment is similar to that used in
gathering the crop reports. Orders We're
sent to each and every station master
along the road to keep his ears open
and report on his particular neighbour
hood.
From what could be learned today,
there is absolutely no doubt in the
minds of those railway officers who
have taken the trouble to inform them
Iselves of the public sentiment that the
great majority of the voters are with
President Roosevelt in his efforts to
correct corporation abuses.
When told what the other railroad
officers were doing to post themselves
as to the political situation and asked
why he did not establish an information
bureau, the executive head of one large
system smiled and said:
I'VE have one"
A round of the railway Offices. how
ever, did not show that the movement
had become general.

The report of the viewers in the
opening of East street was strongly
protested against by H. H. Turner in
behalf of the Ward estate. Although
the matter was laid over until next
meeting for final action Mr. Turner
was granted a few minutes to explain
the situation to the council by means
of a map.
He showed, if the report of the view

He said the Ward estate would be
willing to let the city have the land
actually taken on the basis of value
which the tract was assessed for at
the last assessment allowing for the
proportion of this value to the actual
value. This proposition was liberal
because the land next the street was
the most valuable on the tract

CALLS ATTENTION TO TREATY
Good Will Of President Roose-
Welt Is Also Shown.

Toxic, March 9.-Replying Satur-
day afternoon to a sensational inter-
polation in the house Of representa-
tives. in which the japanese were rep
resented as suffering humiliation at
the hands of Americans, foreign Min
lister Hayashi called attention to the
existence Of the last clause of the ar
ticle of the second treaty with the
United States. He said that this
clause was inserted in order to Sc
cure ratification of the treaty by the
United States. Japan, he said, was
at that time revising the treaty to
obrogate extra territoriallty which was
the greatest humiliation, Continu-
ing to reply to the Interpolation,
Minister Hayashi emphasized the i'm
portance Of approaching the question
Of Japan's relations with America
calmly and in a peaceful spirit, as ex-
element would only tend to increase
the difficulties and injure the tradi-
tional friendly relations of both ma
tons. He also pointed OUT the indis-
putable good will of President Roose-
welt and his government toward ia
pan.
