The Colorado statesman., 1913-11-08
SEGREGATION
DENOUNCED


Special to COLORADO STATESMAN
Upwards of 1900 people, includ-
ing an over flow audience of 25O0
gathered in and around the great
Metropolitan church on the even
ing of Monday the 9th of Oct, to
emphasize their Indignation and
protest against the cowardly pol
icy Ct segregation which the ad-
miEistration permits to operate
against the Negro employees of the
Federal government.
Nothing since the big meeting
of the early SOS where great men,
strong and true like Harlan and
Ingersoll; Douglass and Langston
addressed throngs of their fellow
citizens in denunciation of unjust
decisions of our supreme court in
volving the civil rights of Negroes,
has there been such gathering,
such evidences of racial pride or
SO much enthusiasm.
The meeting was arranged by
the local branch of the W. A. A.
G. P. of which Mr.. Archibald
Grimke is president and illustrat-
ed in a most forceful and convinc-
ing way what has been considerab-
ly doubted, that the Negro really
can get together in his own inter
est.
The keynote from the moment
of the fervid opening prayer by
the pastor, DR.. Ross, which elo-
quently laid the burning wrongs
of a race at the feet of the Master,
to the close, nearly four hours later,
was sorrow and Indignation at un-
merited injustice; an unfalterlng
determination to press on IN the
path of duty and righteousness
and an unalterable faith in the
processes of adjustment thro which
the Father of all chooses to mani
fest our human brotherhood.
Mr.. Grimke announced the pur-
pose of the meeting, in an able ad-
dress and introduced Rev. John
HAYNES Holmes, descendant OF
the great New England pulpit
orator and humanitarian Theodore
Parker D. D. The address OF Rev.
Holmes as might have been expect
ed was an eloquent reflection OF
the deep convictions and highest
ideals of the abolition forces OF
half century ago. Rarely indeed
is it given to us in this day OF ex'
pediency and lip service to listen
to such burning words OF TRUTH IL
the interest of so unpopular
cause as the manhood rights oi
Negroes, from the other race, ever
tho he be Christian minister

and each of them knew of the
specific orders to which they were
expected to conform, restricting
their personal actions while in Of
fee. This statement naturally
struck them as curious to say the
least for they scarcely believed the
Secretary would joke about SO del
icate and serious matter, hence
the groans.
The letter also stated that the
Negro employees had the benefit of
the heat, light and air as did the
white employees etc. ca
Mr.. Willard said he would leave
it with the audience as to whether
or not he should 90 on with his
speech, since the Secretary had
apparently disposed of the whole
matter. The response, came as of
one voice, Go on! Go on!'
The speaker entered upon a
long attack of the policy of segre-
cation as praeticed in Baltimors
and other cities and stated that if
allowed on account of race there
was no telling where it might lead.
1t might obtain on account of
many things, even Including re-
ligion.
He said the National Associa-
ton was not primarily concerned
with the extent to which the Will
son administration had practiced
segregation. 1t is against the
whole principle it takes its stand.
Let precedent be established and
who shall say what the outcome
will be.
Referring to the President he
said have known Mr.. Wilson ap-
proximately twenty years and l
take this opportunity 10 say, that
mistaken as | know him to be in
this matter l have complete res
pect for the sincerity of his mo-
tives. But his philosophy here is
wrong. His democracy gravely at
fault. But, he continued the folly
of raising this issue does not stop
there. 1t differs very little from
the one which rent the Union and
those who in this day and geaera-
ton ale seeking to establish two
classes of citizens, the disfran-
chised and the enfranchised and
to say that there shall be two kinds
of government employees, are on
the high road to convulsing anew
this land of liberty which can never
know peace and quiet so long as
there are determinations among
its citizens.
Among other things the speaker
also said L have personally been
appealed 10 by high authority to
do my best TO keep the colored
people in 'cool and just equipoise."
1t is beyond me to influence
them much in this direction but l
would not if / could On the con-
trary l shall lose no opportunity to
preach the doctrine of peaceful re-
bellion against any discrimination
of any kiud, whether it be against
Jew or Christian, colored or white,
Chinese or Japanese.
Each of the speakers addressed
the crowd gathered on the outside
whose shouts of applause frequent
ly interrupted the speakers within.

False Pride.

A group of bankers met for their
daily lunch at club restaurant where
it was their habit to discuss various
problems. This time the conyersa-
ton drifted towards the various modes
of deception practiced by people. one
member related how, among his ac-
uuaintances, there were five who
owned pianos, but not one could play.
These friends, he stated, were in but
fair circumstances and to his think
ing it was but folly to invest merely
for the sake of appearances. Another
member of the party stated that he
knew "a family where they had five
shelves of fake books to enlarge the
library so that it would have an i'm
pressive appearance. Glass doors Gov
cred the shelves and whenever visitor
expressed a desire to consult any par
ticular book, the key to the doors

to have some story to tell, even "Si-
lent Clarke" as one of the members
was known, because of the few stories
he told, startled them all by reciting

the success of the institution. The
machinery and vehicle exhibit has al
ways been one OF the big educational
features. Daily demonstrations of the
very latest in agricultural devices have
been a source of much benefit to the
farmer. Irrigation machinery In oper-
alton has been of unusual interest to
those who reside in the sections of the
Southwest where irrigation is needed.
All in all, our implement and machin-
cry departments have been big drawing
cards from an attendance standpoint.
In addition, great many of the larger
concerns have put up splendid perma-
ncnt exhibit buildings, and in this way
they have made Fair park more at
tractive. Fair arrangements through
out the country recognize the impor-
tance of an exhibit of this sort. They
realize that to gain the development in
agriculture sought 1t must be done
through the means Of the latest OF

Southwest Oklahoma.

From the Oil and Gas Journal
All eyes are now turned toward
the development in Carter county,
near Heah1ton, which has been in
the limelight during the past four
weeks, since the completion of the
original we'll in that vicinity. This
is about the only looking spot
in the entire southwest regions at
this time. as a good well in the
other districts has failed to mate
rialiZe. The large concerns oper-
ating in the other fields that are
now wideawake. Their representa-
tives are now on the ground and
there will be something doing in
that vicinity within a short period.
ArdmOre, the leading town in that
locality, is taking on prosperous
look and the hotels present a scene
never witnessed before in the his
tory of the town. Gathered in clus
ters are oil producers and leaser5,
while drillers and tank builders are
mingling with the throng. Maps are
scattered everywhere in the hotels,
wells Tin the hotel lOEbies oniy).
The CRATER. as usual, is in the field,
c1p
ding. Business in all lines is i'm
proving and there is already a de-
mand for dwellings, This all came
about by the finding of wildcat
we'll near Healdton, and the devel-
opment will be one of the most in
teresting during the current year
High prices prevail and very little
acreage is changing hands. In some
sections the prices paid are not SC
high, as a larger royalty is given.
The development around Wheeler
is not attracting much attention
Well after we'll has been drilled for
the past eight years, but as it is
strictly fuel proposition, it has
attracted only a few operators tC
that spot Who will take the o.
from the new wells at Healdton is
not known, although it is reported
that the Magnolia Petroleum Co. OF
the Gulf Refining Co. may take the
output. There is active wildcattinl
going on in other portions of The
state. but the wells are shut dowr
from time to time on account Of {
| lack of funds. Most of the wells are
being drilled by stock concerns, anC
shut downs occur when the visibl,
supply of cash is exhausted.
The southwest regions got a set
back the past week in the Stephen!
county end of the development
where number of dry holes wer,
found, some of which We're located
but short distance from the ga
wells This field has looked fairl,
good up to this week. The failures
will probably keep back operation
to some extent, that is, at the pres
ent time, unless some of the well
now drilling and starting show bet
ter than the late competitions.
