RAMPANT RACE PREJUDICE.

Northern Paper Exposes Jimorowism
In National Government Service.
The spirit of America and It's insti-
tutions which declares that neither
creed nor color shall be the measure
of man and his opportunity Is a
strange and an alien thing in Wash
ington today. In its place Is preju-
dice, narrow and sectional, and this
prejudice rules In Offices In which ev-
cry employee has obtained his place
through competitive examination and
has won by merit alone the right to
work In the service Of his government,
says the Philadelphia Press.
For the first time In Its history the
jimcrow law of the south has invaded
the department work Mt Washington.
This Is. the law which says that the
one distinction to be made. the one
line to be drawn. Is that Of color. 1t
prescribes the place and the limits
which each race shall occupy. 1t for
bids them to occupy the same quar-
tiers. .,.s
The southern Democrats who come
to official Washington have always
brought with them the race feeling Of
their section. They have showed It
when occasion arose. 1t has never
been concealed. But until now 1t has
not been permitted to stalk abroad and
ride roughshod over the usages and
the practice of years Never before
has 1t interfered with the work Of the
government as 1t was being carried
on at Washington. Occasionally there
have been instances Of individual race
feeling in the departments. but this
has always been promptly squelched
by the cabinet officer In charge when
-- ever IL showed its head. r'..
Now a settled plan and policy have
been adopted. Those of one race shall
no longer do their work in the same
room with those Of the other. It mat.
tiers not that their work is of the same
grade and character. that the method
OF performance is equal In merit, that
the efficiency Is the same. The law OF
the south that says to the man of one
race Thou shalt" and to the man Of the
other race Thou shalt not IL now ex.
tended to the Offices Of the govern
ment Nv. ...,
This has not happened casually. 1t
II the result Of elaboration. The head
Of the administration cannot say that
he knows nothing of IL A thorough
inquiry was made when FIRST the
charge Of race separation was made
The inquiry was made by men who
arc friendly to the president and we'll
wishers Of his administration. 1t was
thorough. and 1t was fair. The yer.
dict was guilty, given regretfully, but
! with no uncertainty.
One by one the departments have
fallen into line and kept step to the
new and backward march. In the
I great workshop Of the nation. conduct.
I ed and supported by the funds Of the
government, where the only entrance

Of color, with all that such action
means. And not until the rule Of
Woodrow Wilson has this thing been
done. t1@ '"v

NEGRO CONFERENCE NOTES.

A program of exceptional interest
has been prepared for the Annual
Tuskegee Negro Conference which
meets on January 81 and %, 1914. On
the first day of the Conference, which
is given over to the farmers, the
Fiftieth Anniversary celebration OF
Negro Farming will be held. The sub.
ject for the Farmers Conference is
Fifty Years Of Negro Farm Life"
The Conference will open with a
parade, showing the improvements
that have been made in farming in
the past fifty years. Among the feat.
ures will be the Negro farmer of half
century ago with his cob pipe, OK
and wooden plow. The improvement
in Negro farming will be shown prin.
cipally by implements and products.
The wooden pillow will be followed by
another old-time farmer with small
mule and a scooter pillow. Then will
come a more up-to-date farmer with
a good mule, but still a one-horse
plow.
Next in the parade will be a two
horse plow to be followed by a four
horse gang pillow, disc harrow, roller,
seed drill, mower, binder, thrasher,
gasoline engine, corn harvester, cotton
stalk chopper, and other modern farm
ing implements. "'
Another special feature of the pa
rade will be fine hogs, horses, mules,
and cattle. Floats will show girls
dressing vegetables, trees being
sprayed, fruits and vegetables being
canned, milk being separated and test
ed, and girls making butter. i.
After the parade the farmers will
assemble in the Chapel Of the Insti-
tute and discuss improvement in
methods of farming during the past
fifty years, how the homes of Negro
farmers have been improved, and the
improvement in the rural schools and
rural churches. .... ..
The Conservation Of Negro Health.
In order that the. Workers Confer
ence, in contrast to the Farmers Con-
ference, may have forward look and
that a wide interest may be created
among both white and colored in the
South, the subject for the Workers
Conference will be "The Conservation
of Negro Health"
/. The annual economic loss to the
South because Of sickness and disease
among Negroes. (a) On the farm.
(b) In the town.
2. Some ways Of conserving Negro
health. (a) On the farm. (b) In the
town.
Every Negro organization in Ala
bama-medical associations, educa-
tional associations, such organiza-
tons, secret societies, etc.-has been
invited to send representatives to the
Workers Conference.
The Workers Conference program
is especially appropriate at the pres.
ent time because Of the interest that
is being manifested everywhere In the
conservation of health. OF particular
interest is 1t to the Negroes OF the
country, for 1t is estimated that every
year sickness and death cost them
$60,000,000, Of which 1t is said that by
means Of preventable remedies at
least $2O.0oo,Oo0 of this amount might
be saved.
DIR. Booker T. Washington, Principal
OF Tuskegee Institute, has invited in.
terest groups Of individuals to be
present and to participate making
the coming conference one of notable
interest and value.
