Joseph Jenkins, charged with vio-
Iation of the law by refusing to &C.

passenger on a car of the Wash

demurred to the indictmenton the
ground that it did not state be-

EXHIBIT
At SAN FRANCISCO

The possibility of Negro Ex-
hibit at the Panama Pacific Ex-
position at San Francisco next
YET r is again talked of. AT first
the idea was secuted by many col.
ored citizens as relic of the "Jim
Grow" system, and the members
of Congress from California did
not take kindly to any suggestion
to separate display of the pro-
ducts of the brain and skill of the
Negro people. Nevertheless, Sen
ator O'Gormon Of New York, al
ways alert to please his colored
constituents, has introduced pro-
viding for the appropriation of
$4,000 for a Negro exhibit at
Frisco under government auspices
the plan being to show to the
world what distinctive class of
Americans are doing to enlarge
the scope of the nations intellec.
tual and industrial pursuits. There
is quite division of opinion on
the subject and even the oppon.
ents of separating of exhibits,
based on color, are inclined to
think that some means ought to be
devised whereby the colored people
may secure full credit for the pro.
ducts they may bring or send to
the big show. There is also a de-
sire to share in the Immense pat
ronage at the disposal of the Ex-
position, not only as subordinate
employee, but as managers and ex-
ecutives. 1t is argued that only
through separate exhibit can the
Negro get look in on the mana
gerial staff, or be any considerable
number of helpers. The conten.
tion is also made that the $4,000
suggested is not enough to guaran-
tee an exhibit that will do the race
anything like justice. 1t is
thoug hit that the amount ought to
be raised to at least 100000, the
sum allowed for the Negro De-
partment at jamestown, a much
smaller project than that to be
staged at Frisco Mrs. A. M.
Curtis, who was fiscal agent of the
Negro Department of the Ter-Cen-
tennial Exposition at jamestown
in 1907 and who was connected
with the board of lady managers
of the Columbian Exposition at
Chicago in 1893, is interesting her
self in the O'Gorman measure and
will be in a position to give some
definite information on the sub
iect in the future.

Every once in while the New

The question of woman's ability and willingness in time of war is frequently brought into discussion of the granting of the franchise. Alice Stone Blackwell, writing in this weeks issue of the Nom- ans Journal, comments in characteristic fashion on this point She says;
 Women share the perils of war. This is true whether it be foreign or civil or in dustrial conflict. A striking illustration or this has just been given in Colorado.
 For the last seven months there has been civil war going on in southern Colorado between certain mining companies ana their striking employees. The trouble IS due to the determination of the mine own CTS to crush out labor unionism among their men, The men are convinced by long experience that in a strong union lies their only protection from the extremes of exploitation. In addition to the recogni- ton of their union, they demanded the right to live where they pleased, to trade where they pleased, and to choose their own physicians, instead of having to live in the company's houses, trade at the com pany's stores and be treated by the com pany doctor They also wanted someone on their behalf to be allowed to watch the weighing of the coal and be sure that they were paid for all they dug.
 There has been long struggle, and much lawless violence on both sides, the majority of it on the side of the mine own ers Last week this eliminated in the slaughter of o2 persons, mostly women and children, when volleys were fired into the settlement of tents in which the strikers were living after having been turned out Of their shacks. The women and chli- dren had taken refuge In the cellars, put the smoke and flames found them out. A press report says:
 ''The bodies of Il children and two wom- en were taken from the death cellar of the tent at Ludlow by Red Cross agents where they were held trapped by the guns of the militia fin Mondays fight.
 ''The cellar is 10 feet deep and less than six feet square at the bottom. In thls hole lay the bodies heaped together The mothers had evidently tried to shelter their helpless little ones with their bodies. But the babies-one of them not more than II days old--struggled when the sur locating smoke crept down. Their little hands, scared by the flames. showed how they had reached out, trying to pull them selves out of the flames"
 After this the strikers went out on campaign of vengeance and wrecked eight mines; and other innocent persons per ished It Is a mournful spectacle of ruth less oppression on the one side and saw age and despairing resentment on the other. Local public sympathy Is so strongly with the strikers that at the re- cent elections the labor party swept all southern Colorado.
 The point is that throughout these trouble the women have done their ful share of the suffering and now they arc doing their share of the dying. Who car say that war-military or ndustrial-is 2 question with which women have nothing to do?
