THE COLOR LINE VExEs THE
PRESIDENT.

(From New York Evening MaiL)
It 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 i'll 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 30 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.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-12-12
Peace on Earth.

Peace? Yes; that is after all and
above all our Christmas gift. To make
Joy for others, to behold their Joy, to
rejoice in it, is the Joy unspeakable.
And why? Because it is godlike and
divine. Even so the Father joys in
our Joy, and the Son perfects his Joy
in completing ours. Peace is the prod
uct of passing out Of the human into
the divine element and activity. No
man is peaceful who cannot share, in
some faint way at least, in the ex-
periences of his Father and his God.
That is the only real absorption into
the divine, the perfection Of which
heather philosophy has dreamed as
its highest goal, but which the gospel
alone has brought to light and made
accessible and attainable.
How much our Christmas Sunday
has in store for us! May we all in
deed realize its richest treasures and
feast our souls upon them. May it be
the happiest Of happy Christmas days
that comes once more to US. AS we
hear our children sing, may it be the
echo of the angels song, and as we
unite with them in praising Christ the
Lord may his peace enter into our
hearts and abide there forevermore.

DID THE PRFsibENr LOSE HIS
HEAD?

(From the philadelphia Press.)
1t looks as though the result of the
last election has got on the Presidents
nerves and made him unreasonably ir.
ritable. In no other way can we &C.
count for the extreme sensitiveness
and quick resentment which he exhib-
tied while w. NJ. Trotter, of Boston,
as chairman OF delegation of Col
ored men undertook to show him that
Colored employees were unfairly dis
eliminated against and segregated in
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
Grow law. sa.t
The segregation practiced is wrong in
principle because It is disagreeable and
unfair to one class Of public employees

1T is but a step in descent from the
position taken by those public officials

example of the higher official will be

SPECIFIC DENIAL OF.
lNsoLENCE TO PRESIDENT.
Interview in Boston Globe Of Nov. II,
1914. @-~,-.u--.a.

William Monroe Trotter, whose re.
marks on segregation in Government
departments stirred President Wilson
at hearing in the White House last
Thursday, arrived in Boston yesterday
afternoon, and, after denying any;
thing offensive either in his speech or
report of the hearing was given to the
newspapermen.
"As we left the President" said Mr..
Trotter, II told him was very sorry
If he still considered that I had Of
Tended him. The President smiled
and said: o., We'll call it all right
when we came out our delegation
caucused in Sec. Tumulty's room as
to what we should say for the news
papers. I told the newspaper men
briefly about the conference, merely
describing it asa warm affair.
II had gone - outside the White
House when MI. Tumulty called me
back and said: 'Trotter, you have vio-
lated every courtesy of the White
House in quoting the President to the
press
II told Mr.. Tumulty that had done
50 in ignorancesof the rules, and apol-
ogized. He accepted my apology.
Then ] asked the newspaper not to
publish what I told them, and they
consented. Mr.. Tumulty said he was
satisfied and left.
White House Statement Issued.
The report Of the conference was
then given out from the White House.
It seems very peculiar to me, after
the President had told me everything
was all right that White House

Tended the President of the United
States"

feeling great responsibility to do so,
I spoke with pesitiveness, deliberate
ness and directness, looking the Pres
ident full in the eye. 80.
II did not quiz or catechize the
President, and IT did not attempt to
debate with him. The difficulty did
not come until the President had been
permitted to declare for segregation
of my race and to say that should
regard it as a benevolence and so rep
resent it to my race.

to listen to such a statement at length

ABLE TO BE PRESENT WITH
DELEGATION.
Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States
Executive Mansion,
---- WQshin pf0n n q

washington, -. w.,
Honored Sir:
Unavoidable circumstances make it
1mpracticable for me to join the dele
cation as field secretary of the con.
.st1tution league of the United States
who are to present a memorial to
you on Thursday, the 18th inst, in
vok1ng your Intervention against the
segregation of government employees
at Washington or elsewhere on the
ground of race or color. l 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 subversive 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.
(Signed), VIM. A. SINCLAIR,
