New York.-The annual meeting Of

Jan. 8, was attended by over 1000
delegates from almost every section Of

ness to the vast throng which attend

ADVOCATES EQUAL JUSTICE.
What Oswald Garrison Willard Says
About Race Segregation.

What Oswald Garrison Willard Says
About Race Segregation.
The news from Washington that the
effort to segregate the colored and
white clerks in the federal depart
ments is checked If not ended must
cause to rejoice every one who be-
ieves in fair play and the square deal.
says Oswald Garrison Willard, editor
Of the New York Evening Post, In a
lengthy article in the Philadelphia
Press Jan. 2. He says:
Particularly to supporters Of the
Woodrow Wilson administration, like
myself. Is the news welcome, for this
attempt to draw caste lines in the
very heart Of the government of the
greatest Of democracies, founded upon
the principle that all are born free and
equal, constituted a grave blot upon
Mr.. Wilson's record, besides laying
him open to the charge Of preaching q
new freedom" but practicing new
slavery" for those upon whom divine
Providence in its wisdom has bestowed
dark skins.
But. II we can rejoice over this re-
versal Of bad federal policy, to our
shame be 1t said that segregation goes
on apace elsewhere. Nine southern
cities have voted to establish the
ghetto on American soil. though Au-
gusta. to Its credit. has just voted
~ -
proposition.
1t is a policy dictated by the most
selfish Of considerations, for 1t would
make the progress Of race In an
urban community depend upon land
values. For once the commonest ex-
cuse for holding the Negro down-the
false cry Of race purity. and Of social
equality-is put aside in favor of this
new proposition that the Negroes
must be confined to a given quarter
lest by going elsewhere they depreciate
the property Of whites.
Thus It is laid down that If a colored
man would rise and secure for bis
children better light, better air, q bet
ter home in less crowded and more
sanitary quarters, he is thereby COM
hitting a social crime; that we must
prevent his carrying out an ambition
which we applaud in every other
I xaAefican. be he Jew or GENTLE Ar
8 rnenian or Russian or Pole or German
or pure American.
We reprobate it in the Negro as II
mere contact with him were ieDrOus
We can all sympathize with those
whose property suffers in value by
reason Of color prejudice. but the
whole history Of our cities tells Of the
ruination Of aristocratic quarters by
the influx Of trade or of masses OF i'm.
migrants. Sudden changes In value
are what every one faces who buys
urban property. Losing money ought
surely never to be an excuse for put
ting extra burdens on a race already
heavily disadvantaged. .,.r.:'.

Of the hundred or more missionaries

The recent Y. NJ. c. A. building fund

about unity Of effort never before

that city. 1t called up latent energies
which were heretofore undreamed of
1t established self confidence among
individuals who worked earnestly to
do their share in securing funds for
the big Y. NJ G. A. building campaign,
and 1t resulted in the collection of
over $4,000 in fortnight from those
who had little to give.
This cooperation indicates what may
be brought about when men and WON

interests in common and that they
win for themselves new place in the
estimation and respect of their white
friends when they become active work

sistapts deserve a great deal of praise
for their untiring work In raising mon
ey for the large fund from which the
colored people will receive back enough

action among our people, who will
have more opportunity to develop

gious culture.
The fact that our race will have in
New York an association building cost
ing $4,000 for men and one costing
100000 for yong women will put
more pressure on men and women in
other cities so that they will follow
the farsighted wisdom Of such a man

New York.-One of the most promi-
nent features in the work Of the Afri.
can Methodist Episcopal church is its
great interest in home and foreign
missions. The denomination has
grown in numbers and influence more
rapidly on account Of this fact per
haps than from any other known
cause. With competent bishops, well
qualified presiding elders, pastors and
secretaries, the work of the various
churches and departments has shown
many good results since the last gen
eral conference.
Particular attention just now is be-
ing focused on the work of the mis-.
sionary department, Of which the Rev.
DR.. ]. Warren Rankin is the efficient
secretary. DR.. Rankin was elected to
his present position at the general con-
ference Of the A. NJ. e. church held in
Kansas City. Mo-, in 1912. The de-
partment has accomplished a great
deal Of work under DR.. Rankin's man
agement Of less than two years. Much
has been done to increase the efficiency
and meet the demands of the work
In both the home and foreign fields.
When he took charge of the work
the department was in debt. and there
was no money on hand with which to
pay the bills standing against the de.
partment. There were no funds out of
which he was to receive his salary or
