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 grave blot upon
Mr.. Wilson's record, besides laying
him open to the charge Of preaching a
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 1t is laid down that II a colored
man would rise and secure for bis
children better light. better air, bet
ter home In less crowded and more
sanitary quarters, he is thereby COM
mitting 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 sympatbize 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.

EVEN
AMONG The TRAMPS
Hobo Holds Himself AIOOf From
the "Bum."

st. Louis. Superintendent George NJ.
Arcndcs. after four months experience
as keeper Of the municipal lodging
house, declares there is an ariStocracy
among the impecunious leisure class
as well defined as that among the rt~
maindcr Of society in the United
States.
"A lodging house In st. Louis Is Il
necessity and is helpful TO the unfor-
tunatcs who are temporarily uncm
ploycd and to the true hobo" said
Arendcs To n reporter, but there IL n
vast difference between this class of
men and those who are labeled
'tramps, buns and 'stifrs' by the no
boes themselves. TO these members
Of the lower castles we should not ex-
tend the same aid. If any, In my opin-
ion. because they do nothing to deserve
1t and do not profit by 1t.

who has no fixed place Of residence
and travels about more or less aim

employment whenever he needs money

"a bum. IN hobo |parlance. is a
barrel housc6y. who sticks to the
cities and bcgs N the streets for funds.
They are n surly lot as n rule, and the
real hobo will not associate with them
except in cases Of necessity. They pay
no attention 10 personal cleanliness, as
the tramp and hobo do. They are ur-
willing TO work under any conditions
and frequently develop into highway

Legitimate and Other Business.

Chicago Record Herald Hostility
to legitimate business must stop. But
it must stop in legislatures and political
conventions. but it must also stop in
the circles Of what is called high or
frenzied finance.
Hostility to business of the kind
illustrated by the New Haven. Rock
Island Frisco and similar operations :
hostility to business eXemplitied by
predatory and greedy trusts condemned
under the rule of reason; hostility to
business exemplihed by rebates and
other determinations condemned by
law and public sentiment; hostility to
business eXemplihed by industrial
bourbonS, who oppose all proper
regulation-all such manifestations of
hostility to business must stop, or legiS-
lative and political hostility to business
will never stop.
Legitimate business should purge it
self and Danish the gamblers and trick
sters, and get-rick manipulatorS.
Abuses in business by inner eliques
have done more to create hostility than
all the speeches of superficial and wild
demagogues.

In Boston there is a magnificent
school for the training of crippled
children. Pursuits and training are
devised to make these handicapped
children self -supporting and self
respecting citizens. A bus is provided
to carry the children to and from
school. Some children couldn't come
otherwise.
The principal told me during a visit
that even those who could walk with
the aid of crutches were often not safe
alone on the street. Able-bOdied
urchins attacked them, tainted them,
and even snatched their crutches away
and left them helpless.
1t is generally accepted as q fact that
the ~viciousness of some famous cripples
has been defensive in part, and in part
a retaliation for real and fancied in
suits.
A considerable proportion of deformi-
ty is preventable; practically all a be
lessened or compensated. Hip desease
and hunch backs, and most stiff joints
in children, are due to tuberculosis.
Cure of the disease and prevention of
the deformity call for prolonged and
expert treatment. Club foot, in in
fancy, is. under proper treatment, over
a sufficiently long period, entirely
durable.
Spinal curvature is a most Stubborn
deformity unless intelligent treatment
is begun Immediately when it is dis
covered. In this stage it is usually to
be remedied by simple corrective
gymnastics persistently carried out.
Bow legs and knock knees are i'm
portant mainly as they effect the
appearance of their owner. In the
present struggle for existence a child
should be freed from every possible
handicap. A mis- shapen body is a
terrible. In addition to their own i'm
p~ortance, deformities prepare the soil
for other diseases which may be due to
unnatural living conditions AS regard
exercise, etc.

(philanthropic,) the State Public
School for Dependent Children and the
Milwaukee County Hospital are public
institutions i'll Wisconsin especially

ties. No deformity, no matter of how
