SEGREGATION IS UPHELD
BY C0L0RED MINISTER
Tells Baltimore Members of
Negro Race That the e.
feet Is Not Bad.

BALTIMORE. Md. January 3.-The
Rev. DR.. Ernest Lyon. former American
minister to Liberia, the principal speaker
last night at the celebration Of the forty
eighth anniversary of the emancipation
proclamation, created a sensation when
he declared that the segregation ordi-
nance was a blessing in disguise.
DR.. Lyon is one Of the most influential
negro ministers in the south, and his ut
terances always attract notice. After re-
ferring to the attempts made to deprive
the negroes in the south Of their rights.
he said:
Blessing in Disguise.
segregation, self-imposed. is not such
q bad thing, after all. 1t may have a
bad name and a questionable origin. but
1t has helped the colored people IN this
country. Wherever it prevails the col
ored man has become an economic fac
tor. without 1t We would be without
representation In the city council Of Bal
timore today.
1T Is a means in disguise to bring the
race together. We object to segregation
by law. but the race would not get to-
gether unless forced by unpleasant meth
DDS. This method stops that class that
Is trying to get away from the race.
III colored men could get service In
white barber shop the negro barber shop
would be unable to maintain itself in its
town. II white churches would admit
negroes to membership with equal privi-
leges very few colored pastors could be
maintained In colored pulpits.
why Is it that certain business enter
prises among US do not reach any degree
Of success? The reason Is quite APP
parent. Commercial institutions run by
whites show no disposition to discrimi-
nate against negro patrons. This fact
removes the necessity for pushing race
organizations.
Determination by the whites against
the negroes created the necessity for
benevolent and insurance organizations.
These prosper best in the south, where
the conditions are more severe.
Let US profit from this segregation
movement by establishing such business
enterprises among our people as will also
tend to segregate their earnings. II all
our earnings were segregated in one or
two banks operated by negro bankers we
could make not only a respectable show
ing, but could command attention In the
financial affairs Of this city,

plastic and impressionable for the
work
These people meet you with the
names of g. few actors who gained cela-
brity in spite of the fact that they en-
barked on a stage career after they had
reached maturity, but every one of
these actors himself admits that he
suffered from the handicap all through
his life. Irving said so repeatedly, and
because he attained greatness and dis
tinction in spite of this handicap is no
reason why it should be imposed upon
every human being who wants to take
up a stage career.
There is about as much logic in the
argument that because few succeeded
thus hobbled as there would be in say
ing that because a man performed
some feat with one hand tied behind
his back he should be shackled to that
extent for the rest of his natural ex-
iStence.
Now, we don't want a roster of one
handed actors in America, and that is
what we are going to have unless
something is done to meet these unjust
demands

no injury and if any lawmaker at pres
ent in Topeka wants to right a great
wrong he should frame a law such as
they have in New York to govern the

1.-The child actor needs the stage for
the development of its talent, its gen
ius 1t is the only school in which it
can learn it's art. In going to the
stage it is going to school-to the
school which supplies the specific
knowledge for its special talent. To
deprive such a child of these vital
advantages is an injustice to the child
it does not protect it; it is an absolute
injury to it. If any one knows of any
person who is interested in this sub
ject I will be glad to send them
twenty reasons why the stage child
should exist, and not one of them is
illogical. I wish some one would give
me reason why my son should not be
permitted to adopt my profession and
to start in at an early age"
