SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1918.
JUSTICE, NOT OFFICES.

The Detroit Informer comes out in
defense of President Wilson and
thinks that the Anti-Seg1egation Dele
cation which presented a monster
petition bearing the signatures of TO-
900 Afro-Americans acted hastily.
The 1nformer further says that
there "are other questions of more
Importance pending engrossing his
t(the President's) attention than the
appointment of members of the race
to Office" "a &
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 single per-
son to stop segregation. It would not
matter. if every member of Congress
objected to his decision, a 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 a con
dition of affairs which is a disgrace
to a country which calls itself Chris
tian democracy.
The sInformer seems to be Yer!
much worried about appointment t.
Office but that is Of little consequence
in comparison to the greater question
whether caste is to be introduced int
this country and if Afro-Americans ar
to be appointed to Office with the ur
derstanding that they are to segregat
their. employees THE APPEAL doe
not hesitate to say that colored ma
who would accept any appointmen
with such conditions attached woul
be lower than the vilest reptile tia
crawls upon the earth.
It is Of course proper then ths
President Wilson should give th
Afro-American repres entation in pres
Dental Offices and that matter shout
be taken up later, but the matter no
in hand Is segregation and that is th
matter to be handled first.

MENHADEN FISHING
INDUSTRY PAYING

Especial tc The Richmond virginian.l
HEATHSNiLI4E, VA. Sept. o.
The menhaden fishing season which
opened the latter part of May Is
proving very much more profitable
than It was thought the early part
of the season.
AZ the season progresses the price
Of fish oil and scrap advances. At
the present time the price Of both
scrap and oil is 20 per cent higher
than II was the first of the season.
larger catches OF fish are being made.
and not for many years have the FISH
been fatter or produced more oil.
The fish being caught In the Chesa-
peake bay are yielding ten gallons of
oil per thousand fish. while the fish
that are being caught along the coast
are producing thirteen and fourteen
gallons per thousand.
Many OF the factories on the Ches-
apeake bay and =. 1t tributaries lost
considerable money during the first
OF the season, but most of them
have recovered their loss during the
past few weeks, and it Is likely that
all of the factories Will declare divi-
dends again this year.

Offer of Hospitals.
The offer of the executive COM
nnittee of the college to allow the city
of Richmond use of the Virginia and
Old Dominion hospitals--the former
for white. and the latter for coll
ored patients--is meeting with con-
siderable approval. and will afford the
college means of cooperating In an
effective manner with the municipal
government in caring for its sick.
The necessity of treating the tenn
porary inmates In quarters separate
from those devoted to the perma-
nently INDECENT Is becoming apparent.
This proposal of the Medical College
of Virginia authorities to place these
hospitals in the hands of the city Is
thought to be an excellent and most
convenient method OF solving the
need.
AS a first step In raising tho en-
trance requirements Of the college.
no student will be allowed 10 enroll
in the medical department who has
not had at least one year OF aca-
demic college work. In future years
this will be increased to two and
three years. and probably finally 1t
will become strictly a graduate
school.
The obstetrical department working
through out the city affords vast saw
ing in expense and danger to the
poorer people. A phone call to the
ohstetrical department at the Memo
rial hospital brings a professor ana
students at once TO any home. This
Is done without cost to the family
visited. Over thousand cases have
been managed by this arrangement.
with remarkably few losses of life.
The. .iispensary gives to the needy
all medicine free of charge. Liter
ally hundreds visit the college dis
pensary every day. 1t being admirably
located for the purpose.
All of the private schools will be
in operation before September Goth.
with increased attendance, and with
improved facilities.
