remarkable inaugural address? When
Mr.. Taft said that it was not the part
Of wisdom to appoint colored man to
office where there was opposition to
him he gave the country the impress
sion that the Negro had no right to
hold office and no right to labor where
the white man objected. The president
evidently meant what he said for the
good of the race. but his meaning mis-
carried. Immediately there began in
the south systematic effort to oust
the Negro from every federal office:
there arose spontaneous protest in
Mississippi against the few Negro
fourth class postmasters in that state;
the tiremen on the Georgia railroad
went into upheaval, southerners march
ed up to the White House and demand
ed that Register of the Treasury Yer
non be removed and a white man be
appointed in his place, and the Lily
White organization in Texas demanded
that every Negro otficeholder in that
state be removed. Following this, n
petition was presented to the officials
Of the Hartman railroads in the south
west demanding that the Negro work
men be discharged. And, lastly, the
railway mail clerks of Texas, who
hold their places by'virtue of competi-
tive civil service examinations, have
presented petition demanding that
Negro railway mail clerks be segre-
gated and placed on certain runs. And
the end is not yet.
All of this goes on while Mr. Taft
sits placidly in the White House and
does not open his mouth. What will
our brethren Of the north and west do
about it?-Lodge Journal and Guide.

Y. NJ. C. A. When it was found that
the church was in need of few more
deacons Mr. Moss was among the first
to be selected and ordained.
Long before he went to Brooklyn he
believed himself to have been divine
ly called to the work Of the gospel min
istry. For ten years he has been halt
ing in his decision to obey the call of
God to enter the work. About six
months ago. however, he made a final
decision in the matter His first SER
mon showed adaptability for his chosen
work, and the church. by the direction
and consent Of DIR. Dixon, granted him
his license to preach.
Mr.. Moss was the last young man
whom DR.. Dixon inducted into the
ministry. DR.. Dixon. however, died
before he presented Mr.. Moss his IL
cense. and that duty was performed
by the Rev. DIR. William A. Credit,
pastor of the Cherry Memorial Bap-
tist church of Philadelphia, who was
a close friend of DR.. Dixon. In order
to further qualify himself for his life
work Mr. Moss will enter Virginia
Union university at Richmond this fall.

The newspapers are discussing pret-

complaint is that the presidents atti-

South Africa Copying After America.

South Africa has drawn the color
line in politics. Negroes are not al
lowed to vote. Upon what grounds the
right of suffrage is withheld is not
definitely stated. But one thing is rea-
sonably certain and humanely true
that 1t is far better to withhold the
privilege than to grant 1t for a season
