ASKS THAT BILLS Be DROPPED
Bryan Admits Right of California to
Pass Anti-Jap Law.

Sacramento, GAIA day of confer
ences between Secretary of State Bryan
and Gov. johnson and members of the
California legislature over proposed anti
alien land laws ended Monday with the
conference adjourned to await replies to
messages sent to Washington by Mr..
Bryan.
The impression prevailed here when
the conference adjourned that the reso-
luton of the majority leaders previous
ly announced to enact a bill specifically
debarring "aliens ineligible to citizen
ship from owning land in California
remained unchanged, although Mr.. Bryan
advised strongly against such action.
Gov. Johnson indicated this in a brief
address to the conference. He declared
California's right to follow the lead of
other states in framing the land bill
was unquestioned and said such actor
now seemed assured.

Not long ago negroes held some of the high elective offices in Washing ton. There was a negro member of the House of Representatives, James M. Lynch, of Mississippi, until 1900. Lynch was permanent chairman of the Republican National Convention which nominated President Harrison.
 Perhaps the foremost negro politi- elan of the country was old Senator Bruce, who for several years repre- scented Mississippi in the United States Senate His son, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, is at present assistant super intendent of schools of the district United States Senator White, of North Carolina, also was a negro Fred T.

NEGRO QUESTION
 IN WASHINGTON Young White Woman in Government Office SuD ject to Insults.
FAIR PLAY DEMANDED
Negroes Have Occupied Important
 Stations in the National Capital For Years.
(By JONATHAN WINFIELD0

Washington, May 31.-Once more the red flag of race prejudice is being waved in Washington and the days of the Reconstruction are being lived ov- CT again. The old race question is to the fore in the national cpaital with it's accompaniment of long-winded arguments pro and con on the ques- tion. The revival of the question is due to the organization here not long ago of the National Fair Play Associa- ton which, overnight, has sprung in to an important position, and, auto matically the problem has opened up again like an old wound.
 The basis of all the altercation is the question of whether or not white men and black men, white women and black women should be compelled to work side by side in government depart mental offices. And it is the North and the South which are disputing the question. as it always has been and it
 
 ever will be when the race question is at the bar
 In conformity with the ancient theory expressed by Thomas Jeffer- son in the declaration of Independence to the effect that mankind are more finclined to suffer evils while such evils are sufferable' than overthrow 1 the organized system under which 1 they are living and working, evil wrought by the enforced closed asso- clation of the two races has been suf- fered for long time because those in charge have considered it wiser to suf- l fer those evils than to disorganize the present order of things But every few years some man or some society or organization of employees brings the question up again and it is all thresh- ed out along the lines of it's original premises. Such an operation now is in progress. Whether or not it will re- suit in the segregation of the races, considered so desirable by some and unnecessary by others, remains to be seen.
 Negroes have held offices under the government of the United States ever
 since their emancipation and probably Will continue to hold office as long as
 the government endures. But the pO
 sitlons they hold are yearly becoming
 Of less and less consequence. They
 are hanging on tooth and nail to what prerogatives they claim but their is loosening. It is likely furth-

CT to loosen. A strong movement is afoot in the Republican party in favor of reducing the southern representa- tion in Republican National conven- tons. As one of the chief reasons for the giving of offices to negroes has been to secure political influence throughout the solid south this need will be lessened when the power of the southern delegation will assert in national conventions is lessened.
 But there are many negroes. men and women, employed as clerk in Washington and elsewhere in govern ment offices. Most of them have jobs merely as clerks and messengers. And as they are evenly apportioned throughout the service, necessarily the white race, work side by side. This will be one of the hardest to ad- just. There are quite a few colored men holding fairsized jobs and who have staffs of workers under them. The National Fair Play Association believes that in these instances, at lease, there ought to be a degree of segregation in order not to compel young white women stenOgraphers, for instance to work as subordinates to negroes.
 A recent example of the unpleas- antness of this ordering of the per sonnel of government offices was eX hibited in Washington when it was charged that Miss Irene Monroe, a young white woman, employed as clerk in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia was subjected to discourtesy by the Re corder, negro. and by other negroes in the office. It is alleged that she was struck by one of the negro clerks.
 There is one high office of the Unit ed States Government which since the civil war has been filled by negro. It is considered their property, after fashion,and appears to be heridtiary in the race. It is the office of Register of the Treasury. It is at present fill ed by J. c. Napier, negro, of course. Every piece of currency isued by the United States Treasury bears the name of the Registery of the Treasury. One need only to look at the paper money in his pocket to read the name of this negro w. T. Vernon and J. w. Lyons are former registers of the Treasury, whose names appear on a large amount of the currency now in circulation.
 Another fact which is not widely known is that the office of collector of the port at the capital of the United States, almost invariably is given to a negro. The office is not so important as it was but still carries some pres tige with it. Georgetown, section of Washington, is the port of entry of the capital city, and at one time was one of the chief ports of entry of the United States, being shipping poin for huge quantities of Virginia and Maryland tobacco. Whitefield Mo- Kinley, negro, is the present col lector at Georgetown.
 w. H. Lewis, a negro of Massachus- etts. until recently held the high of flee of Assistant Attorney General of the United States. In fact, if you go down the list a good many high jobs will be found to be filled by the ne- groes.
