The jim Crow Bill.

The Jim Crow Bill.
That the last Legislature failed
to enact Jim Crow Car law may
involve the payment of a party
pledge, but is little short of a
calamity to those who have to
live and travel in the Southern
portion of West Virginia, notably
in the Pocahontas and New River
coal fields.
No one who has not had
occasion to visit that section
can imagine what the white people
have to suffer from indiscriminate
commingling of the races in the
railroad coaches. Here, where
the travel is comparatively light
and where, as whole, the co1ored
folks are well behaved, and by
long residence known to our
people, the trouble is not acute,
though we have always strongly
advocated separate coaches for
white and co1ored everywhere, as
being in the best interest of both
races.
But, in the Flat Top country and
along the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railroad, where negro miners by
the thousands pack the trains,
pretty generally well primed with
mean whiskey, especially after
pay day, no white man cares to
have his wife:or. daughter travel
alone. Conditions are so bad Mat
many who can i'll afford it are
forced to pay extra fare for decent
accommodations and the asylum
which the Chair cars and Pull
mans afford.
Why was the bill beaten !
Thousands of white Republicans.
coal operators, store keepers, SUI
perintendents and others, have
clamored for this protection to
their families. and the railroads
are willing to furnish the neces-
sary equipment-the same accom-
odations for white and co1ored.
The real answer is that the
politicians, most of them rene
gades, have shameless1y pandered
tothe negro vote ON this issue, al
the same time fighting an honest
State wide Primary law, private
~ assigning as the reason to their
Democratic friends that it will
menace white supremacy.
Such political Zebras should be
driven out i'll the, open and giver
dose of their own medicine
No one would object to a special
provision in the law permitting
them to associate in their travels
with the negroes, by grace OF
whose suffrage many of them are
allowed to exist politica11y-a1-
ways provided that decent co1ored
people did not object to such ar
arrangement. But, the rest OF
us want to travel as do those OF
our race in Virginia, and through
ont the Southland.
We have no mixed schools in
West Virginia. Why m K d
coaches !?
The Republican party has tic
cater to the negro in West Vir-
ginia, as that race holds the bal
ance of political power. That to
do so it has to subject men, WON
en- and children of the white race
to humiliation and danger, is one
of the crimes for which it will
have to answer at the bar of pub
lie opinion.

is the first consideration in selecting man to direct the
work of keeping Honolulu clean?
Is il man who has had experience in figures and pur-
chasing or one who understands sanitation that is needed
to keep the city OF Honolulu in such shape that will be the
least liable to interference from port quarantine?
Is it money in the bank that Honolulu wants. or rea-
SOnabe guarantee OF an open port so that business can be
carried on without hndranCe?
Isn't sanitation after all the great necessity for the city
of Honolulu first last and all the time? And in order to
secure this should not the Territorial Board of Health have
as its directing head trained sanitaran who knows the
town. who knows what to do in an emergency OF threatened
epidemic and better than ALL knows what to do to avoid an
epidemic?
The Bull e in has learned that some of the gentlemen
connected with the Shippers Wharf Committee believe they
should handle their funds to create large surplus in
the bank that be drawn upon in time of community stress.
Others believe this money should be expended necessity

These gentlemen represent fairly we'll the opposing views

There not the slightest doubt in the estimation Of this
paper that the and the official organization that is con.

times more valuable in dollars and cents to the community
than the man and administration that stand ready to call in
assistance when the troubles OF port quarantine arise.

gotiated arbitration treaties with sew
eral nations. They all empowered the
President to submit such questions as
he selected to settlement The Sem
ate by an overwhelming vote amend
ed the treaties so that approval of the
Senate must be essential for each
controversy. President Roosevelt ut
once withdrew all the treaties from
the Senate and permitted them to
lapse. 1t is not improbable that II
similar fate may await the treaties
now pending.
In addition. the Pacific Coast Sem
ators do not take kindly to the treaties
as drafted. They declare contro-
versies affecting race problems. such
as arose in San Francisco during the
public school troubles, might be sub
mitted to arbitration. They insist
that exceptions must be made of all
matters relating to citizenship and
immigration.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The pro-
motion and retirement of Rear-Admir-
al Robert T.. Peary, in recognition Of
his discovery of the North Pole. have
presented tangled problem that the
Navy Department has not yet solved.
The bill honoring the explorer passed
Congress in March, 1911, but provided
that the promotion and retirement
should date from April 8. 1909, when
the pole was discovered.
The promotion of Peary made n
vacancy in the list of captains of civil
engineers and afforded opportunity
for promotions.
The question which has risen Is
whether these promotions should be
retroactive and date from April, 1909,
or begin with March, 1911, when the
act was passed.
