ODen Letter

To the President of the United States
Sir: | had occasion to visit a few OF
your executive departments Tuesday
morning. Things are SO different from
what thev used to be, Mr.. President.
There Is a segregation of white and
COlOred clerks in many of these de
partments In the Interior Depart
ment cOlored clerks are not permitted
TO eat at the public lunch room table
The Secretary of the Interior should
be called upon to explain; don't you
think so?
Mr. President, there is too much
discrimination IN many OF your execu-
tive departments against the colOred
Americans. 1t would seem to ME, Mr.
President, that you would speak to
the members Of your Cabinet
1 read with much sOlemnity your
dispatch to the family of Bishop
Grant. | read with interest your ref
eTenCe to his rise from slavery to the
highest position in his church. If you
had gone a little further, Mr. Presi-
dent, and said that this distinguished
ChurChman was one of the four col
Ored Americans to whom you sub
mitted your inaugural message, L
mean that part in which you said
that you would appoint no colOred
man to office in the South who would
be Objectionable to the white people,
you would have done the COlored
race a favor. | believe the Bishop
was one among the four who ap-
proved your message. Bishop Grant
was no doubt a good and great man,
but he lacked manhood, Mr.. Presi- |
dent, when he approved that portion
of your message.
| notice, Mr. President, that no |
COlOred men are being appointed on |
the police force since the retirement I
of Mr. West. Mr.. West once made |
a ruling that a colored mans place
on the force, that is, when ne re- |
signed, should be filled by Colored |
man. The cOlOred man in the Dis |
trict of Columbia stands a poor |
chance for appointment or promotion.
l have been waiting for some time
for the appointment of few col
Ored men. The excuse IS that there
are no vacancies There have been
several deaths and several vacancies,
but the favOrite white man gets the
Jobs While walking through the
several departments Tuesday morn
ing | could see colored men cleaning
the halls and the white laborers look
ing wise. This Is a great country for
idlers, Mr. President, among the
white people. | am glad that all
white people are not alike. The col
Ored man has a few friends left yet,
Mr.. President
Referring to your Southern policy,
want to say that there Is not a
Colored man who agrees with you, and
If he says that he does he is acting
the hypocrite to your face. 1t IS not
natural that one but a fool will agree
with a person who is discriminating /
against him. I give you these friend
Iy hints, Mr. President, so that you
will not be deceived in this so-called
Negro leadership that you seem to
be recognizing to the exclusion OF
real men. I wish you success in the
affairs of your government and until
you change your policy you will have
A hard time with the colored vote I
With no desire to misrepresent any t
one, believe me to be Yours,

week by defeating the basket ball
team from Baltimore in the first
game that the church team has ever
played. 1t IS bad that these boys
have reached the age limit, as this
will bar them from being considered
champions of Class B league, although
they are being allowed the privilege
OF competing in this class. Business

Saturday night and played a good
