ADVOCATES EQUAL JUSTICE.

What cewald 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 II not ended must
cause to rejoice every one vino be-
heyes 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
new freedom" but practicing a 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 a bad federal policy, to our
shame be it 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
down this cruel and un-American
proposition.
It is a policy dictated by the most
selfish OF considerations, for It would
make the progress Of a 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 II a colored
man would rise and secure for bis
children better light. better air, a 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
American. be he Jew or gentle. Ar
menian or Russian or Pole or German
or pure American
We reprobate 1t In the Negro as II
mere contact with him were leprous.
We can all sympathize with those
whose property suffers in value by
reason OF cOlQ 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-

Or. FrisSsII Makes Optimistic Address
at Hampton Institute Celebration.
Here in Virginia colored people have
q better chance than anywhere else
In the world to live ana improve. We
can work out the race problem better
In America than anywhere else While
there is much for the colored people
to struggle for. still there should be
great thanks to God for what has
been accomplished"
These inspiring words were spoken
BY Dr.. Hollis B. ErlsseIl, principal Of
Hampton institute, when he addressed
the large audience Of colored people
who recently assembled In the normal
school gymnasium at Hampton insu-
tute TO hold a union celebration OF
their fifty years OF freedom
DR.. Frissell urged the colored people
to cooperate for the development OF
the nation. he referred to the work
which the Negro Organization society
Is doing to teach the lessons OF better
health, better education. better farms
and better homes" he expressed hii
pleasure at seeing so many Of our peO-
pie OF the lower peninsula gathered at
Hampton institute.
Rev. A. A. Graham Of Phoebus. the
presiding officer, referred to the i'm
portant work which mothers and IA
Tiers now aged had done In making 1t
possible for our young people to get
an education.
Addresses by local colOred men and
women showed the progress that has
come during fifty years OF freedom and
the work that remains to be done. The
music included singing by the large
Hampton chorus and audience and
band selections under the direction OF

An Opportunity For Everybody.

Being under the direct patronage Of
King Frederick August Of Saxony the
exhibition is q rare opportunity for
anyone having some regular or irreg-
ular things relating to the book in
dustry and graphic arts for exhibition.
While many great concerns throughout
the world are sending their exhibits, it
should not be forgotten, that there Is
one. department not for rent to bust
ness exhibitors, it is open only for ex-
position Of exhibition materials, that
will constitute afterwards q valuable
part Of the great Museum Of the Book
Industry at Leipzig, the only institu-
ton Of its kind in the world, when the
exhibition is over. Anyone may add
to this department printings, writings,
manuscripts, photos, pictures, book and
graphies with no cost to himself.
School plans and pictures of stu
dent classes, professors, teachers and
buildings, photos and models Of schools,
colleges, universities and publishing
houses will still be heartily accepted;
likewise drawings, lessons and papers
of scholars and students. Authors and
publishing houses should send Of all
books and pamphlets they have pub
lshed q good copy with order blanks
50 that every exhibition.visitor may
have q chance to order the exhibits
shown. Also editors should send the
best they have. The name Of the send
er should always be mentioned upon
the exhibit. Here is an excellent op-
portunity for the Colored people Of
America and for those who have dsyot-
ed their lives to the culture work
among the Colored people, to demon
strate what they have already done
and what they could do in the future.
Another important feature while col
leeting exhibition materials is that 1t
will have great value for the future,
as the great Museum-hbrary Of Leipzig
viii participate in the exhibits when
the fair is over. Readers Of these lines
who have some materials Of any kind
as mentioned above for this department
should direct it to Pastor Paul Hentsch,

BIG FINANCIAL CAMPAIGN.

Favorable Outlook For New n. N. C. A.
Building In New York.
The recent Y. NJ. c. A. building fund
campaign in New York. which attract
ed nation wide publicity. brought
about unity Of effort never before
known among the coIOred people of
that city. II called NJ, latent energies
which were heretofore. Cndreumed Of
1t established self cUhGICnce among
individuals who worked earnestly to
do their share i'm seCu.in: funds for
the big Y. NJ Z. a. building campaign,
and 1t resulted in the collection Of
over $4,000 in fortnight frnm those
who had little to give.
This cooperation indicates what may
be brought about when men and wom-
en- realize that they have important
interests In common and that they
win for themselves a new place In the
estimation ana respect Of their white
friends when they become active work
ers instead OF passive benefciaries-
The daily reports from those raising
money in the campaign evoked much
favorable comment. Analytical minds
were active In giving. by comparison,
true value To the gifts Of our men and
women-gifts from a race with few
avenues open for earning even a bare
living IN a great cosmopolitan city.
DIT. ]. f. MOOrland, national secre-
tary Of the eOlOred mems department
Of the Y. NJ. c. A.. and his able as
sistants deserve a great deal Of praise
for their untiring work in raising mon
ey for the large fund from which the

ings. More important than the added

work will be the improved social re-
action among our people. who will
have more opportunity to develop

don, wholesome amusements and reli-
gious culture.
