THE NEGROES or CT-B4

There is something that Is logical. but
much more that is quite Illogical. in SIR
Henry II. JOhnstOn's letter 10 THE Lon
don Times" concerning the negro insur-
rcCtion In Cuba, on which brief com.
lnent has already been made. That emf.
nent and expert authority on tropical
colonization and admnlstra ton IL prob
ably justified in saying that the revolt
Of the negroes against long continued III
treatment at the hands OF the "white
and half-caste national government" IS
! not to be wondered at. We have already
remarked upon the unfortunate discrImi.
nation which has apparently been prac
tised against the cOlOrcd race in Cuba
lie Is also right in saying that the Cuban
negroes are not illiterate. but have made
great progress i'm education, that the true
kind Of civilization has spread among
them and that nowhere today does the
negro In tropical America appear 10 bet
ter advantage than there
IL Is not easy, however, TO follow Sir
Henry In his argument that the Cuban
negroes must seek annexation 10 the
United States In order to secure better
treatment. The United States govern
ment Is doubtless far more stable and
enlightened than that Of Cuba. Let il
be granted that It's integrity is higher
though we are not inclined to cast undue
reproaches on the Cuban administration.
But with the strongest desire to think
well and to speak well Of our own coun-
try we cannot see in the example set by
those Of our states which have large ne
gro populations any assured promise Of
better political treatment of Cuban ne
groes under annexation than they now
get under their own Independent govern.
ment. Their complaint IS that they are
excluded from public offices. Are they
appointed to them in Alabama and
Georgia and South Carolina? There
may be reprOach TO our own country
in saying this, but It Is the simple truth
that there Is at least as much racial dis
elimination in the Southern United
States as there is In Cuba. In fact, there
Is more, for here it is largely matter
Of fixed legislation and not merely of
transient or at least readily changcable
practice.
Equally faulty is Sir Ilcnry's logic
when he says that if the United States
does not soon assume direct responsible
ity for the administration Of that island
Cuba may experience the history Of His
PAMELA. If the negroes Of Cuba are the
best in all tropical America, If they are
educated and civilized In the right way,
If II Is "a mistake to describe them as
"illiterate or IN any other opprobrious
terms surely 1t is an e1aggeration 70

iCJION NEEDED.

The proposal of various civic organi-
"a tons TO hold mass meeting 10 urge
prompt action on the Folks ordinance
for the regulation Of moving picture the
atreS is timely. Apparently something
should he done to aid that measure in
its hating progress through the Board
of Aldermen. Up to date its gait has
been disappointing. Since it was sent
back 10 the Committee on Laws and
legislation on May II for amendment
because of the astonishing discovery
that the aldermen were about 10 vote on
m ordinance lacking, as printed, an en-
acting clause nothing has been heard
about il.
This ordinance is too good to he al
lowed TO IangIlsh in committee. 1t is
needed too much i'm actual operation for
the protection Of the patrons of moving
picture places, especially in summer,
when those establishments are thrOnged,
for delay in action on it to be wholesome.
II is designed 10 assure the comfort and
safety Of the audiences at the movies
by its provisions regarding seating. ven
tilation, manner of construction, light
ing, heating and exit arrangements of
the theatres. These provisions apply
not only to new places but to those al
ready in existence, compelling the pro-
prietors to live up to far higher stand
ard Of requirements than is now de-
manded Of them. Responsibility for its
enforcement would be concentrated In
the Mayor, through the Bureau Of Ii
censes which permitted the theatres to
open, and corps Of inspectors to keep
track of conditions after the theatres
were running.
Opposition has been made to the
measure by some persons who believe 1t
should require municipal censorship Of
the films. That opposition seems mis-
guided. II such regulation Is required
and there is much doubt about the wis
dom OF the demand-let the proposal be
embodied in a separate measure which
would not conflict in any way with the
one designed to protect the physical
welbeing Of the patrons Of the moving
picture theatres. The only other OppO-
sition to the Folks ordinance has come
from moving picture men, speaking
through Tammany politicians, who want
present conditions TO 60 unbettered.
That is an opposition which cannot
stand the light Of day. It's nature should
convince the super-moralists Of their I'M
wisdom In attempting 10 hinder the pas
sage Of this measure by insisting on

longcd reactions known "a industrial de-

too great for productive business TO stand

the more worthy Of acceptance. AZ Tor
annexation, it would involve problems
compared with which those OF the pres

ment stores are permitting some or
their employees to attend 1t during what
would otherwise be working hours not
only paving their salaries for the whole
time but also paying their carfare 10

work which is being done in technical
schools In parts Of Germany, where boys
and girls have certain number or
hours week free from work and re-
ceive instruction in the work at which
they are employed. Employers In Ger
many. where the system has been cS-
