GREAT DISASTER.

This week has indeed brought to
the American people one Of the great
est glooms since the days Of war
times, in the great catastrophe at
Omaha in that tornado and the
mighty disaster in the destruction Of
human lives in the floods Of Ohio and
Indiana. Tongue nor pen cannot de-
scribe the horrors and suffering.
Thousands Of lives with billions Of
dollars of property is indeed great
calamity that we all must suffer.
Hundreds Of colored people lost their
lives and thousands Of dollars was
lost. It is beyond the control Of hu-
man hands. s5 a5g.

NO "JIM-CROW" DEPARTMENT
AT FRISCO.

A prominent member Of congress
from California says: "Unless there
is radical change of feeling from
what / have oberved among my con-
stitutents, there will be nothing like
a Negro building or department in
connection with the Panama Canal
Exposition at San Francisco is 1915.
There is absolutely no demands for
it, as far as I can see, unless we ex-
cept few persons who hope to gain
some personal profit by getting hold
of the management of it, and they
count for little in the aggregate. One
of the strongest arguments made by
the colored people against the selec-
ton of New Orleans 'as the logical
point was that the race would be
Jim Crowed' if the exposition was
held there or in any Southern city.
Now to come forward and ask Aor a
so-called 'Jim-Crow' department
seems to be the height Of inconsis-
tency. No, there will be no Negro
department. Congress will not vote
an appropriation for it; neither will
the state of California; and the coll
ored people themselves do not want
such an arrangement. These ought to
be sufficient reasons for putting a
quietus on the agitation for the ques-
tion." Right! No "Jim- Grow section
is wanted at Frisco in 1915, and
there will be none.
The above clipping was sent to US
by some one we know, not the author
nor the newspaper it was printed in.
yet we endorse it and do hope that
the spirit of it be carried out, not
only in California, but at all public
expositions Of that nature. We are
becoming segregated Jim-Crowed
and narrowed down too much in So
called free America. Away with
color line and race prejudice. a..
