Squire Graves Has
His Own Opinion
About Bresnahan

SQUIRE Lonnie Graves, the veteran
baseball fan, thinks that the Cubs
did we'll to get Bresnahan. although
the former Cardinal and previous
Giant, is getting trff,e passee.
He will do all right TO lead off and
get on the sacks" said Squire Graves,
but you want more than that. now
adays You need a man who can
get on the sacks and then get around
after ne has got on. not a fellow who
In obliged to be batted around the cir
cult. Possibly there Is season or
two in Roger yet"
There lie decidedly something in
that and Roger 10 not the colt he
once was. Still he will make a good
outfielder. he will do TO scare Jimmy
Archer into line, as Jimmy is a hold
out, and he may make a good man.

This is what the New York sun has
20 say on the subject;
G.. w. Murphy In securing Roger
Bresnahan for the Cubs believes that
he not only has strengthened the team
but also will Guell some OF the wild
clamor reused by the turning out OF
Chance. incidentally, Bresnanan's
engagement may open the eyes of
James Archer. who recently told the
Cubs owner that he wouldn't catch
again unless he received $4,000 a
year. Persons who enjoy predicting
trouble seem to think that Murphy
has cast q managerial anchor TO wind
ward in hiring Sir Roger. If Evers.
the present manager OF the Cubs,
should fail. Bresnahan could take
the Job where Evers left 1t. Mean
while Evers must receive credit for
urging the signing of Bresnahan. who
will be PLAYED in center field and
will lead off for the Cubs while Archer
is used behind the bat as much as
possible. Roger Chicago contract
calls for total OF $4,000 for three
years. He demanded FIVE years en-
gagement. as told in Mondays Sun,
but Murphy won him over by agree
ing to pay $4,000 now.

A soUTHERNER ON THE RACE
PROBLEM.

The world Is a neighborhood. The
ends of the earth are closer together
today than were New York and New
Orleans hundred years ago. News
of yesterdays battle in the Baykan
War, the latest news from China and
Japan, come to us over land, under
seas, and on the pulsing currents OF
air, thousands of miles, and we read
it the next morning before breakfast.
The world has become one vast neigh
borhood.
The mighty problem Of our wonder
full twentieth century Is to make OF
this world neighborhood world broth
erhood. To bring in this era Of broth
erhaad we must cultivate and cherish
the spirit of brotherliness. The strong
must help the weak. The rich must
help the poor. The educated must help
the uneducated. The fortunate must
help the unfortunate. Those high up
must help lift up those who are down
and out. Aholy and sacred duty should
impel to this work. We must look
deeper than the stamp that is on this
human coinage; deeper than accidents
of birth-race, color, and condition
to the gold and silver that are under
meath, the gold and silver Of true man.

This Is the spirit that must be

the relation between the white race
and the Negro race. All that I have
to say in regard to that problem is to

its settlement must be along the

Negroes is increasing. May It be said
that we have no fear from the Ad-

any one, for that matter, but we In
tend to respect everyone, each accord

Noted White Men Join Race Journals
In Fight Against Wrong.
Washington.-The recent newspaper
reports that the Democrats had relax
cd in their policy of segl eating color
ed employees at Washington shows
that the widespread criticism Of the
effort has had the desired effect Not
only did race journals join In the cam
paign against segregation. but repre-
sentative journals like the New York
Evening Post, the Springfield Repub.
ncan, the Boston Advertiser. the Chi
cago Record Herald. the Chicago Trib-
une, the Christian Science Monitor and
the Congregationalist entered emphatic
protest.
The New York Age, the Boston
Guardian. the Chicago Defender. the
Afro-American Ledger. the Amster-
dam News. the Freeman and the
Crisis were among the race publica-
lions that exposed the scheme.
The utterances Of such white men as
Senator Clapp, Moorfeld Storey, o.
valid Garrison Willard and ]. q. Spin
garn also had a telling effect.
It must be said. however, that color
ed men and women are themselves
largely responsible for the turning on
Of the light. One colored man here,
who prefers that his name be not
made public, enlisted several leading
dailies in fighting the scheme. 49,. e.,
J. G. Napier. who gave up his posi-.
ton as register Of the treasury rather
than submit to segregation, Is entitled
to praise for focusing attention on the
un-American plan. Bishop Walters,
whose attitude was grossly misrepre
scented, was also an insistent and con-
sistent foe of segregation. .... {
In his talks with President Wilson
and other Democratic leaders here he
always voiced his disapproval Of the
plan. He declared that Oswald CARR
son Willard was grossly misinformed
when he charged that he (the bishop
favored segregation. After the bishop
wrote Mr.. Willard that he was greatly
in error and that President Wilson,
Secretary McAdoo and others would
back him up in this statement Mr.. VII
lard wrote the bishop as follows: -
I'm regard to the recent happening
at Washington stated to the audience
that 1t had been said to me by high au-
thority that bishop had favored segre-
CATION, that should not mention his
name because he had denied it and
that I would not make an issue be-
tween him, a president Of the United
States and bishop. Since you wrote
me that you have been informed by
the White House and the treasury de-
partment that no such statement was
made to me there is nothing left for
me to do but to infer that was mis-
informed or misunderstood and to ex-
press my regret to you that such APP
pears to have been the case"
Though the administration is report
ed to have changed its attitude regard
Ing segregation, there has been no pub
lie announcement Of that fact. w.
Monroe Trotter and others, who placed
a monster protest into the hands Of
the president, are. it is said. still await
ing a reply.
Segregated Mushrooms are still in
vogue in the treasury, postofice and
other departments.
