says concerning the action of
the Connecticut Congrega-I
tionalists:
The resolutions have at
tracted almosl no attention.
An incident of this kind goes
to show how little the average
person cares what is done to
the Negro"
The Evening Post contrasts
the Presidents action in two
celebrated cases:
"Mr. Wilson's action in the
Pankhurst case is in glaring
contrast to his treatment of
the Negro in the government
service. 1t is one of the most
tdittlcult problems the Presi.
dent-any President has to
handle, and it is intensified in
Mr.. Wilson's case by the fact
that he is himself Southern
born, that half of his Cabinet
is Southern, and that South
erners dominate in Congress.
1t is all the more remarkable,
therefore, that in handling it

some,initial blunders not in

New England, and particu- =
larly Boston, has shown con

has had several long editorials.
In one it says:
The excessive hurry Of the

rassed the administration
Possibly as the result of the
hasty orders Of President
Wilson, a few cases of outrag.

ten have been corrected, fol
the time being; but in mos,
cases the matter has gone tC
far to be remedied, now, even
if the administration were
really anxious to restore the
old order of things. The
chief anxiety, now, seems to
be not to create too great a
public scandal, for the orders
for the discharge of colored

ever it appears that not much

when war is approaching,
there might be more patrio-

called attention to the tend
ency at Washington to ignore
the just complaints of the
Negro soldier. but nothing
seems to attract attention un-
til the black boys are needed
to open hostilities for Uncle
Sam.
There is no doubling the
fact that the Negro soldier is
superior to any other man in
the service. HIS record shows
that beyond dispute; and there
is no justification for discrim :
mating against him in time of
peace and making here out
of him in time Of impending
war. If he is a hero on the
battlefield, let him have the
treatment and consideration
of hero at all times. His
bravery is worth as much in
time of peace as in war. His
loyalty connot be questioned;
Let him have the protection
