Square With Palmer and

LONDON. May 9.-The American in
vaders who are in England to play for
the amateur golf championship at Sand
witch beginning May is are one by one
making their way to the championship
course Travers, the American anna
teur champion. and his friend Fred
Herreshoff. have had a round or two
on the links over which they will play
for the title. And yesterday Chick,
Evans of Chicago arrived on the
scene.
Playing with Harold Weber of Toledo
Ohio. Evans finished all square in the
morning against 1vo Wilton. the
Australian open champion. and Charles
title The same quartet went around
the course again in the afternoon. and
Evans showed none of the usual eff
fects Of a long sea voyage with no
chance for golf.
1t was learned that Fred Herreshoff
has sprained his ankle and there seems
to be some doubt as to wether it will
mend by the time the championship
begins Herreshoff. who is a heavy
man, will have to be exceedingly care
full of the injured ankle.
Francis Ouimet. the American open
champion, has not yet arrived at Sand
witch for his final session of practice.
but as he made round or two of the
ROYAL ST. Georges course when he
first reached England he may feel that
he can afford to stay away a day or
two longer than the others.

icism of Republicans who are
elected to office in Maryland
and then fail to give recoGni-
ton to the colored men who
laded them in making their
goal, was voiced by several
speakers who attended a
meeting at Republican head
quarters last week to discuss
plans for getting the full col
lQIed vote registered.
Some of the Republican
leaders were alarmed at the
fact that only 5000 colored
voters registered at the first
sitting two weeks ago. This
number was considerably aug
mented by the registration
this Tuesday and Wednesday,
however
Dr.. Ernest Lyons adverted
ito the fact that Governor
Goldsborough, a Republican,
had given the race practically
no political recognition and
added that the reason the
Progressives polled the ma
jority Of the colored vote in
Baltimore in the presidential
election in 1912 was because
Republican leaders in Mary
land usually forgot all about
voters after election. The
Rev. w. M. Alexander and
others spoke in a similar vein,
but pledged themselves to get

voters on the registration

What Segregation Means
Rev Quincy Ewing Southern Caucasion, Born and Rear
ed in Mississippi, Shows the Policy of the South is
,K..n the Afro-American in Inferior Status,

Why is it that in every
Southern city no Negro is al
lowed to witness a dramatic
performance, or a baseball
game, from a first class seat1
In every large city. there are
hundreds of Negroes. who
gladly pay for first class seats
at the theater and the ball
game. were :hey permitted.to.
1t can hardly be that per-
mission is withheld because
thea,ers and baseball games
are so we'll attended by half
the population that first class
seats could not be furnished
for the other half. AS a mat
ter of fact, theater-auditorium
and baseball grandstands are
seldom crowded; the rule is,
not all hrst-class seats oc-
cupied. but many vacant.
Surely as simple as moving
from seat to seat a makcshift
screen IN a street car. would it
be to set apart a certain num-
Der of seats in the dress circle
of every theater and in the
grandstand of every baseball
park, for Negro patrons. The
reason why this is not dunc,fs
perfectly obvious; it would be
intolerable to the average
Southern man or woman to
sit through the hours of a
theatrical performance or a
baseball game on terms of
accommodation with Negroes
even with a screen between.
Negroes would look out of
place, out of status, in the
dress circle or the grandstand
their place, signifying their
, status. is the peanut gallery,
or the bleachers.
Consider further that, while
no Negro, no matter what his
occupation, or personal refine
ment, or intellectual culture
or moral character, is allowed
to travel in a Pullman car be-
tween state lines, or to enter
as a guest a hotel patronized
by white people, the blacklist
of Negro nurses and Wallets
are given food and shelter in
all hrst-class hotels. and oc-
casion neither disgust or sur
prise in the Pullman cars.
Here again the heart of the
race problem is laid bare.
The black nurse with a white
baby in her arms. the black
valet looking after the COM
fort Of white invalid, have
the label of their inferiority
conspicuously upon t h { m;
they understand themselves,
and everybody understands
them to be servants, enjoying
certain privileges for the sake
of the person served. Almost
anything the Negro may do
in the South, and anywhere
he may go. provided the man
ner of his doing and his going
is that of an inferior. Such
is the premium put upon his
inferiority; such his induce
ment to maintain it.
