The Mary A. thompson Hospital
was able to show, by clerk, Mary A.
Vincent, that for the past two years
it has insisted upon mothers keeping
their babies. -
The Chicago Union Hospital rec
ords showed that it placed babies in
different states without any rigid in
vestigation as to their future, and
that it turned babies over to doctors,
who in some cases passed them along
to other doctors and the hospital had
no record Of their ultimate disposi-
ton.
DR.. Davis of the Chicago Mater
nifty Hospital admitted that in one
case a child twelve hours old was
placed out for adoption and that she
advertised her hospital as a lying-in
hospita1in state journals and in medi-
cal journals. Many of the children
born in her hospital were illegitimate
Walter H Wood, managing editor
of the Child Betterment Bureau "a
magazine bearing the inscription
For betterment of handicapped, de-
inquent children''), }, admitted that the
handicapped, delinquent children do
not get any of the proceeds from the
sale of the magazine, which sells for
10 cents copy. The solicitor gets
part Of the money and the publishers
the rest. -,
But Wood had this all remedied by
the fact that he said he possessed a
contract with the National Child
Welfare League, making it the organ
of the league after the 4th of May. He

This is the prediction of Horace B.

the meeting last Wednesday, he
points out, there were 35 delegates,
and they were all regularly elected
and authorized to represent organiza-
tons which have a total member
ship of more than $4,000. r
''It is less than six weeks since the
league was started, but it is growing.

the Otis building, where he is electri-
cal engineer. About three weeks
ago letters were sent to 492 clubs, So
cieties and unions. They were told
just what we are trying to do. We
put it up to them that Chicago can
get phone service at a penny a call
any time the city chooses to go ahead
and take the Automatic equipment
under the forfeiture clause in the
franchise of the Illinois Telephone

Replies came back from 96 Or

last Wednesday night. This number
will be doubled tomorrow night.

DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS
AEAO7

(From the Philadelphia Press.)
1t looks as though the result of the
last election has got on the Presidents
nerves and made him unreasonably If.
ritable. In no other way can we &C.
count for the extreme sensitiveness
and quick resentment which he exhib-
tied while w. M. Trotter, Of Boston,
as chairman of a delegation of Col
ored men undertook to show him that
Colored employees were unfairly dis
permitted to declare for segregation
not come until the President had been
some of the executive departments.
There is nothing in Mr.. Trotter's
remarks as reported which disclose
any ground for the Presidents resent
ment. Possibly the speakers manner
may have been too earnest, positive
and aggressive to suit the President.
He turned on him as he once before
turned on the woman suffrage delega-
ton whose assertions and arguments
were not to his taste and drove the
President into making the absurd
statement that he was not at liberty
to approve woman suffrage because It
had no place in the National Demo
cratic platform. He told Trotter that
the Colored people were segregated in
the departments to avoid friction. But
there was no friction until Mr.. McAdoo
and Mr.. Burleson got into the Cabi-
net and began to enforce in their de-
partments the principle Of the Jim
Crow law.
The segregation practiced is wrong In
principle because 1t is disagreeable and
unfair to one class Of public employees

THE COLOR LINE VEXES THE
PRESIDENT.
(From New York Eveninu MaiI)

(From New York Evening MaiI.)
1t is hard to discover, in the rather
fully published reports, any sufficient
reason for the Presidents resentment
OF the efforts of Mr.. Trotter to per-
suade him to abandon the offensive
policy of several Cabinet officers in
drawing the color line in the Federal
departments
The subject under discussion was
the violation of the customs of fifty
years and the spirit of the Constitu-
ton in establishing "Jim Grow" gov.
eminent. If the spokesman of the
EQUAL Rights League waxed warm in
urging the cause of his race, it is not
to be wondered at That he over
stepped the bounds of propriety is not
shown.
That the President was vexed is all
that appears in the published record.
II any adequate reason for his vexa-
ton had been supplied by Mr.. Trot-
ter, 1t would surely have been dis
closed. .
That there was reason for the Pres
ident's ill temper is quite true, but it
was supplied by the Cabinet members
who were responsible for the narrow
minded policy of segregating Colored
employees from white jobholders.
The incident recalls the similar vex-
alton shown by the President when he
abruptly dismissed an equal suffrage
delegation on June 80 on the ground
that he could not submit to cross
examination"
When man is right, he usually will
listen patiently to the other side:
when he knows he is wrong he is very
likely to fly off the handle.

full citizen of the purest Anglo-saxon

ful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon
descent.
1T is but a step in descent from the
position taken by those public officials
In Washington who segregate one race
to the public official in a. Southern
state who advocates lynch law. The
example of the higher official will be
cited by the lower official as justifica-
ton for his course. The mob of the
South that lynches in the night is but
a step further than the official order
that segregates because of color in the
day."
When Southern Democratic daily
newspapers have the moral courage to
write such strong editorials demand
ing justice for the race it ought to
make the cowardly colored ours who
condone jimcrowism hide their heads
in shame.

Hon. Woodrow Wilson,

WashinPt0n n q

Honored Sir: ...e
Unavoidable circumstances make it
lmpracticable for me to join the dele
cation as field secretary of the con-
stitution league of the United States
who are to present a memorial to
you on Thursday, the 18th inst, in
voking your Intervention against the
segregation of government employees
at Washington or elsewhere on the
ground Of race or color. / respect
fully submit that such segregation vi
olates the spirit and letter of the Con-
.stitution of the United States, forces
hardships and degradations of Col
ored employees, undermines civiliza-
ton, is subversiye of American in
stitutions, contravenes every prin-
ciple Of righteousness and justice and
is shameful reproach to our Chris
ton religion. Segregation represents
not the ideals Of freedom but the
ideals of slavery. We pray that you
as the Christian President of this free
and Christian nation will use your
great powers, which are more than
amply sufficient to remove this foul
blot from our civilization.

SEGREGATION DENOUNCED.

ton or not. We had supposed, after
the investigations of last winter that
the vicious policy had been checked;
we understood that it was to be aban-
dOned gradually. In numerous in
stances the jim Growing had, we know,
been stopped. The more discouraging
Is 1t to find the President apparently
UNFOLDING what the World justly calls
the foolish indiscretions of members
OF his Cabinet" There was no gen.
uine complaint as to the conditions
in Washington. Colored and white
employees had worked side by side
for fifty years. Some of them had
been appointed by Grover Cleveland
one of his appointees to high place be-
ing the father of Mr.. Trotter, veter.
an of the Fifty-ffth Massachusetts.
But the Wilson Administration went
out OF it's way to create the issue it
now deplores, and cannot see it's way
clear to admitting it's mistake and re-
verting to the only defensible position
OF absolute equality in the Govern
ment service.
The way to deal with race preju-
dice in such matters is not to enhance
1t by yielding, but resolutely to con-
front it with refusal to give in 1t
is surprising how often prejudice fades
away in given situation when it finds
itself wholly blocked. 1t is even more
surprising how frequently it is merely
a state of wind. Often there is no
objection whatever to the presence
OF colored people on the most familiar
terms, provided their position is clear
ly stamped as mental; let them sud-
denly aspire to equal privileges, and
those same people become at once too
offensive to be permitted to breathe
the same atmosphere. The situation
in Washington would be restored in a
twinkling to the old and absolutely
satisfactory status If the highest
authority were simply to lay down the
law that there was going to be a
square deal for everybody in the de-
partments without the slightest dis.
elimination; that there can be only
one class of public servants-all to be
treated with courtesy, consideration,
and absolute justice.
