birth in the minds OF men who we're fight
ing for manhood rights. That they breathe
the spirit OF deep passion is logical and
natural Prior to Mr.. Wilson's election Mr.
Trotter and a delegation OF representative
negroes journeyed TO Princeton and re-
ceived a sincere, apparently, promise
from Mr.. Wilson TO treat the negro in a
friendly and christianity manner, to see
that no rights which the. constitution
guarantees to him were denied him. Mr..
Trotter, upon the basis of THE unqual-
filed promise. advised his people TO sup
port Mr.. Wilson. Since the incumbency of
President Wilson a system Of segregation
has been inaugurated. In the face OF such
a fragrant reputation OF promises could
one expect Monroe Trotter to be other
wise than passionate? Was II not a mo-
ment when all OF the sincerity and elo-
quence OF the sufferer would burst forth?
We commend Monroe Trotter for telling
President Wilson the truth. The day Of
the spineless negro is fast disappearing
and the move for aggressive and constant
protest Is gaining huge momentum.

THE KINGS DREAM.

VIII God take time to save the kings?"
The kings are throned in castled state;
Upon them fawning courtiers wait;
In purple robes they sit, and know
Their hish-placed pride this comfort

God will take time to save the kingsl"
Far echoes Of the thunder-flght
Thrill through the kings dream in the
night:
Your soldiers brave the bitter strife
Where winning Death throws dice with
Life,
They Storm the heights. they sweep the
plains;
Where the red wrath of battle reigns;
Their shot-rent battle flags unfurled
Ger blood-drenched roses of the world,
Rest you beneath Sleeps healing wings
God will take time to save the kings!
And tNen the dream changed. and this

Weep the long lonely nights away;
UOon their knees MY children wait;
Their ruined homes are desolate.
And ] behold through grief-rent years;

One WAY to Save Legislative Time.

The legislative doctors are again trying to
prescribe remedy to stop the waste Of time
visionary, impractical or freak proposals with
which the bill files of every session are loaded.
To shut off or limit the introduction OF bills is
not feasible In states like Nebraska where the
constitution stands In the way, and gives every
law-maker the privilege OF sponsoring any num-
Der OF measures he sees fit. There is, however,
one effective way to wlnnow out the chaff that
is entirely constitutional though It's application
would require a governor with a real backbone.
Let the chief executive, who is a coordinate
branch Of the law-making body and whose mega
tive is equal to the votes Of a third Of the mem
bership in each house, go over the bills as they
make their appearance, and announce at once
his intention to veto all that on their face are
not entitled to consideration. II the proposer
persists IN pushing his bill notwithstanding
these odds, he will know what he is up against
but for the vast majority OF such bills the COVER
nor's elimination list would be the final word.

Negro Right. and Wrongs.


OMAHA, Nov. IS-To the Editor of The
Bee: Your recent editorial apropos the
president and segregation, arouses in the
breast or every race-loving negro great
Joy and thankfulness. Such a healthy
opinion coming from a great metropolitan
newspaper tends to awaken a Just and
righteous sentiment for the cause OF per-
secuted humanity. When so many influ-
entail newspapers are gradually becoming
weaned away from their former attitude
OF interest and defense of the great body
or Afro-American citizens, such a timely
expression from you causes the negro to
have new hope. You, sir. are carrying
out the admirable policy OF the late Ed
ward Rosewater, the humanitarian, whose
lifelong struggle for justice and equality
for all American citizens keeps the spirit
OF his work fresh In our memories.
Monroe Trotter is one of Harvard's
most brilliant sons. He indeed voiced the
sentiment Of millions of Afro-Amertcans
when he confronted President Wilson
with irrefutable instances of injustice and
humiliation in the civil service at Wash
ington. He reminded the president that
there was no law providing for segrega-
ton in the capitol of this republic. With
animation and courage he asked Mr..
Wilson II he had new freedom for the
white man and a new slavery for the
negro. Armed with the truth and the
ability and fearlessness to expound that
truth. Mr.. Trotter stood in the august
presence Of the president and had his
say. and our distinguished president in
the face of that powerful and truthful
unanswerable argument was abashed and
peeved,
