manifested in historical associations and if New York City continues in this policy the city will soon rival Boston where nearly every other building in the centraI part of the business district is marked with a tablet
 The other day q tablet in memory of Thomas Wnlett, first mayor of New York. was presented to the city, to be placed in the city hall. The committee which presented the tab let, had been appointed by Mayor Gaynor a short time before his Un- timely death. For many months the committee made a thorough search of old archives. libraries and histori- cal collections in the hope of finding d portrait of New Yorl's first mayor but it seems that in 1864, when Thomas Wiuett was appointed first mayor of New York by Governor Richard NicolIs under patent grant ed by James, duke of York, neither the newspapers nor the photographers were on their jobs. In fact, the committee came to the conclusion that there were neither newspapers nor photographers in New York at
 
 impossible for the committee to dig up anything that could be taken for a portrait of the city's first mayor and the result was that the tablet only bears d legend stating the fact that Thomas WHlet was the first mayor and giving the date of his appointment
 Who wants Boss Murphys job? If the persistent rumors concerning him are well founded and not merely the expression of wish the boss will retire from the leadership of the Tammany organization and go to Europe for a spell to recover from the shock of his recent defeat It cost Tammany more than $200, ,o0o- probably q great deal more-to be defeated and to be landed high and dry upon sand bar with little prospect of being fioated within the next few years. There is little glory and even less profit in being the head of Tammany hall during such period of powerlessness and if Murphy should really retire it will probably be rather difficult to find any man of prominence willing to take his job. Senator O'Gorman, undoubtedly the strongest man in the organization and q man with clean record, politically and otherwise, would be the natural choice for the position of leader. but he has de clined the honor on the ground that being a United States senator keeps him fully as busy as he cares to be.
 The recent scandal involving Ty- son X Go. the biggest ticket specula- ting concern in the city and the business department of the MetropoI- itan Opera House has thrown the glaring limeIight of publicity upon the hypocrisy of the theater manage ments of this city and exposed their duplicity in dealing with the public.

 The police authorities of Far Roackaway are puzzled by an odd coincidence and are now trying to figure out the possible connection between the coinciding events When Mir. Butler, d wealthy cloak manu- facturer, residing in Far Rocka way. came down to breakfast the other morning he missed his butler When Mrs. Butler appeared at the break fast table a few minutes later she informed Mir. Butler that jeweIry, worth about S4000 had disappeared during the night from the dresser in her bedroom As neither NIr Buffers butler nor Mrs. Buffers jeWelry could be found anywhere. Mir Butler called up the police station and informed the official in charge of the strange coincidence ia the disappearance of butler and jeWclry. After mature de liberation the police officials have come to the conclusion that the pos sibiItv of casual connection be- tween the coincidcnt fact is not aI- together excluded.

Probably to show her guest how American women are doing things.

Mrs. Incz Milhol- land Boissevain, the shining legal light of the outfit and several union organizers. Mrs. Belmont descended upon one of the department stores on Sixth avenue. She and her Compan- ions made the rounds of the stores. informing the employees that after closing time speakers would address them in front of the store and urge them to join the retail clerks union The meeting was held. but it was not much of a success because the managers of the store had let the employees out through back door.
 From time immemorial it has been the custom of the big New York ho- tels to display from one of the flag staffs on the roof the flag of any nation the ambassador or minister of which happened to be the guest of the hotel at the time. This es- tablished precedent was broken the other day, however. at the Ritz Carl ton. when five foreign ambassadors and four ministers arrived on the same day and stopped at the house. It was found that there were not enough flagstaffs on the roof to dis play all these flags in addition to the American flag and as it would have been a serious breach of eti- quette to display only the flags of two of the nations represented and not the others. there was nothing left but to omit the formality al together. It is not believed that this incident will lead to international complications.

Tl.E ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church Of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end Of 1912, put for
ward TIE claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by resolute disclaimer Of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among otner things Sir Sidney said:
Ny study and comparison of con-
ditions in the United States and the
West 1ndies," he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. I
do not expect them to adopt the meth
DDS OF missionaries, nor do l sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
1t cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de.
velopment of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human
ltarian and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian.
Were race differentiation held to It
must increase civil discord. When the
balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. If statesmen and
citizens face in the contrary direction
do not say that they will attain i'm
civil peace, but am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward it.
Il do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combina-
ton between humans in healthy
life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man as well
as the black"

BRAVE BISHOP WALTERS,

Bishop Alexander Walters of the A.
M. E. q. church, a prominent Afro
American leader in the Democratic
party, in an open letter fatty denies
that he ever endorsed segregation in
any shape or form.
He says that the statement that he
favored an all-colored Register of the
Treasury Office is absolutely false.
And he tells his defamers tc write &c
Secretary McAdoo and ask him about
the matter.
The last paragraph in his statement
is strong:
L say once and for all that 1 have
never endorsed segregation in any de-
partment and never will. Do you
thing l have lost my senses and my
interest in my race? I would die be-
fore l would betray my race"
That's the right sort of talk. Now
let us hear from the other leaders
who have been charged with endors-
ing jimcrowism.

1t seems that the fate of the Titanic
passengers who were lost through in
adequate life-saving apparatus has not
had sufficient effect upon the law maxi
ers and the executives of the law to
cause them to safeguard human lives.
The terrible disaster of the Volturno
ought to start afresh methods to pro-
tect sea-going passengers. Affidavits
have been made by survivors of that

officers and crew were drunk, life
boats were rotten, life preservers also
rotten and not supplied with proper
straps, life boat chains rusty and could
not be lowered from the davits, etc.
More stringent laws should be made
for the safeguarding of human lives.

MoHAMMEDANlsM SPREADING,

A Berlin correspondent writes that
is gaining more
proselytes than is Christianity, among
the natives of the African colonies and
tribes that once protested the latter
are now relapsing into the former.
The result is the most natural thing
in the world.
The missionary is stuffed full of
color prejudice, he accepts his calling
because it is the best job in sight, and
he cares nothing for the native, but
holds him in utter contempt as mig
ger"
The native in a short time learns
to care nothing for the missionary,
because he discovers that he is a
hypocrite and fraud. He repays his
contempt in kind.
A man who is saturated with Amer
lean race prejudice is a very poor
specimen of Christianity and is not
needed by the natives.

TREA TED As LEPERS
Startling Effects Of Segregation as
Shown BY Report Of N. A.
A. G. +. Investigation
IS THIS A CHRISTIAN COUNTRY !?
Victims Of Government New Ar
rangement Eliminated as Com
petitors; Get What No
One Else Wants

The National Association for the
Advancement of COlored People has
made public the report of a special
agent sent to Washington to investi-
gate the segregation of white and col
ored employees in government depart
ments. The investigation was made
as the result of many complaints and
inquiries.
The association has twenty branches
throughout the country. Moortield
Storey of Boston is president and Os-
valid G. Willard of New York, chair
man OF the board of directors, which
includes, among others, Miss JAMS Adj
dams and Miss Lillian D. Wald.
From Agents Report.
The effect of segregation says
the report, lis startling. Competition
has been eliminated. Those segregat-
ed are regarded almost as lepers and
get Wnat no one else wants. Segrega-
ton in work has been effected 80 far
without official orders. Generally the
excuse is a readjustment of work to
increase efficiency.
Taking up individual departments.
the report says: ,
In the miscellaneous and examin-
Ing division of the bureau of engray-
ing and printing, workers have been
pared according to race In the dead
letter office of the Postoffice Depart
ment colored employees have been seq
regated back of a row of lockers in
corner OF the room. In fact, in this
department, segregation practically
amounts to elimination.
I'm the Urea curv h,,ild;,o. oo1.n.l
clerks have not yet been segregated.
put 1t seems to be understood that as
many as possible are to be segregated
in the registry division.
SkiIfuIly Worked Out.
IN the office of the auditor for the
postofhce, segregation seems to have
peen most skilfully worked out. In
one room colored men operate what
Is known as the gang punch and in
another the force working at the as
sorting machines is entirely colored.
IN the bureau of engraving and
printing, the lunchroom assigned to
the colored women is unsanitary. In
the Postoffice Department there is no
lunchroom at all for colored help. In
the office of the auditor for the post
office, the colored women were taken
from light and airy rooms and placed
IN an unpleasant alcove. In the dead
letter office, where the colored work.
ers have been grouped back of a row
OF lockers, the part of the room
chosen is least desirable.
AS far as could be ascertained.
only one official has given the colored
people an opportunity to express their
opinion of the policy of segregation
Arrangements for segregation had
been made in one of the divisions of
the pension bureau, but when the
chief of the division learned that the
colored employees were opposed to seq
regation, he gave them an opportunity
v..c on the matter. They were
unanimous in their ornasition.' ?

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER p, 1918.
JUSTICE, NOT OFFICES.

The Detroit Informer comes out in
defense of President Wilson and
thinks that the Anti-Segregation Dele
cation which presented a monster
petition bearing the signatures of TO-
900 Afro-Americans acted hastily.
The Informer further says that
there ''are other questions of more
Importance pending engrossing his
(the President's) attention than the
appointment of members of the race
to Office"
THE APPEAL believes that it is al
ways right to protest against wrong
and injustice and the time to protest
is when the wrongs and injustices are
being perpetrated. The President is
the head of the Nation and he does
not need the assistance of a single per-
son to stop segregation. 1t would not
matter if every member of Congress
objected to his decision, single word
from him would stop it instantly.
THE APPEAL has read the petit
ton, Mr.. Trotter's speech as chairman
of the delegation, and all the matter
pertaining to the petition and there is
not one word about the appointment
Of Afro-Americans to office. The OBJ
ject of the petition is to end con.
dition of affairs which is a disgrace
to country which calls itself Chris.
tian democracy.
The Informer seems to be very
much worried about appointment to
office but tnat is Of little consequence
in comparison to the greater question
whether caste is to be introduced into
this country and if Afro-Americans are
to be appointed to Office with the un-
derstanding that they are to segregate
their employees THE APPEAL does
not hesitate to say that colored man
who would accept any appointment
with such conditions attached would
be lower than the vilest reptile thai
crawls upon lne earth.
1t is of course proper then thai
President Wilson should give the
Afro-American representation in presi
dental offices and that matter shoulc
be taken up later, but the matter nov
in hand is segregation and that is the
matter to be handled first.
