pointed failed to call on Mr.. Dayton
His frankness and courtesy and his
story of the school at Dalton, Mo-, also
of his fathers philanthropy, made
most favorable impression, and the
Editor felt that MIR. Dayton had not
made any determinations because o.
the color or the prejudice of his pa
irons. But our last interview changed
our idea. He refused to give us 9
statement over his own signature, say
ing "suit yourself" but admitted the
facts, stating that he had denied Ne
groes the privileges of the TEA
ROOMS and CORSET FITTING DE
PARTMENT. Mr.. Dayton called at
tention to the School at Dalton, Mo.
under Prof. Bruce, which Is partly en-
dowed by his father, and told about
his lack of prejudice, also that he was
nursed by a Negro waman. We as
sured him that the Negroes Of Mime
apolis would highly appreciate his per
sonal feelings and good will for thu
race, but would not suffer discrimina

any Negro school, also that they re
garded this action as an injustice, ani
"a denial of their civil rights. Mr.. Day
ton has not shown the Negroes thai
he wanted their patronage by adver

requested or accepted his charity, but
such stores as DoNALDsoNs, ROOT

groes are fairly treated, will get thu
trade of those who have any gooG
judgment and race-pride. We give Mr.
Dayton credit for this-that he has
acted within his prerogative, and ad

the facts,) go where they are wanted

BUFFET FLATS.

Every time you turn around you
hear something said about a buffet
flat. 1t Is said that there are many
Of them in the north end of town, es-
pecially. We know that q saloon exists
because 1t pays license Of $1,000 per
year to the city; we know club houses
exist by getting charter thereby
satisfying the city. But we do not
know how buffet flat derives its
right to exist nor by whose permission
1t exists. 1t has neither a license nor
a charter. What is a buffet flat, and
by whose permission is this new
tangled proposition permitted to take
the business Of the clubs and saloons
The Omaha Enterprise.
Same here too, and they are our
greatest social evil, mostly run by
women who have the privilege of
mingling in highest circles. They get
acquainted with young girls and mar
ried women, and frame things up for
the railroad porters and any one else
who desires high life within the inner
circle. Gambling Is also conducted
therein. They stand in with the clergy,
can always aid our churches, and all
Negro organizations are so corrupted
with the owners Of these resorts or
their paramours, that they have every
protection. This describes a buffet
flat, and Negroes are responsible for
their support.

During past two years, It has been
brought to public notice the treatment
of Negroes at the Dayton Dry Goods
Co., one of the leading stores Of this
city. The question of refusing Ne
groes at Dayton's" has been discussed
in the Minneapolis Sunday Forum,
and two delegations have been ap-
pointed to wait on the management to
get the facts. The last committee,
]. N. Sellars, Chm, Mrs. Ophelia Rice
and Mrs. John M. Wright were ap-
pointed by the Forum to investigate
a matter of discrimination at the Day
ton store. The case in question was
that Mrs. J. N. Sellars, State Pres.

to the Corset Department to get fitted
and was refused She sought Mr.. Day

and informed her friends. The matter

ing. He asked their business, and when
they requested q private interview,
he did not ask them in his office. Mrs.
Rice had contended that there was a
mistake and told Mr.. Dayton that she
spoke in his defense at the Forum. He
said. why did you do it?" She replied
that "She thought he had always been
fair to the Negroes" He said: "Why
did you think it?" He then gave them
to understand that things were as
reported by Mrs. Sellars. The report
Of the Committee was made and dis
cussed at the Forum on last Sunday.
The editor Of the Star called Mr.. Day
ton by phone Wednesday morning. It
was q loss Of time to call in person, as
he had met Mr.. Dayton, when the mat
