THE PRESIDENT AND THE
AFRO-AMERICAN.

(From the Chicago Tribune.)
We are not ready to concede that
any body OF citizenship has less stand
Ing under the law than any other. If
the south wishes to make any such
issue as this it will find that the
north, where there is prejudice, is
nevertheless restless when as a part
OF the nation it is asked to declare that
the main principle of the nation is a
piece of hypocrisy and does not apply
where it is inconvenient.

THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGA.
1lON

(From The Indianapolis News.D
The government, which makes laws
for all, collects taxes from all, and
summons all alike to it's defense in
time Of war, cannot rightfuly make
such distinctions. When men and
women enter the public service they
ought to be ready to conform to that
principle. No one is compelled to
enter 1t, but having made his choice
he should comply with the conditions
OF his employment.
So the question is not wholly
economic, as Mr.. Wilson seemed to
think it vast is political as we'll,
not in the narrow partisan, but in the
broad sense. The people of the United
States as a whole would oppose the
adoption by their government of any
thing resembling the Jim Crow policy.

Mr.. Wilson can feel keenly for the

yet to say a really sympathetic word

The difficulty lies, of course, in put
ting yourself in the other fellows

what it means to be the victim of
prejudice and injustice, to be wronged
without the power to remedy the

MORRIS WOULD WIDEN
N.Y.CENTRAL INQUIRY
Senator Insists, However, That
McReynolds Should Give
Information.
TELLS OF GETTING HINTS
Says Minority Shareholders
Gave Him Tips on the
Situation.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The Senate
talked. for two hours to-day on the reso-
luton introduced yesterday by Senator
Norris Of Nebraska, calling on the Attor-
ney- General for information as to whether
the New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad had been operating in violation
OF the Sherman antitrust law as a result
Of Its acquisition of other railroad lines.
Democratic leaders, notably Senator
Kern and Senator Overman, urged Mr.
Norris to allow the resolution to be re-
ferred to the Committee on Interstate
Commerce, but the Senator declined to
do so.
Senator Overman insisted that as the
resolution was worded II was a reflection
upon the good faith OF the Attorney
General. Senator Norris produced corre-
spondencc to show that he had brought
the New York Central situation to the at
tention OF the Attorney-General more than
year ago, and that Mr.. McReynolds In
tlmated that his department was "inves-
tigating the whole general subject OF UNI
lawful railway combinations"
Senator Norris intlmated that he had
correspondence In his possession which
tended TO show that the Attorney-General
had never intended 10 prosecute crimi-
nally anybody connected with the New
York, New Haven and Hartford.
In the course OF his speech. the Senator
said that he had obtained some OF his
| information from minority Shareholders
| OF the New York Central.
Senator Weeks remarked that som,
OF these shareholders on investigation
| might be found snort of the stock
| Senator Weeks asked Mr.. Norris why
he could not broaden his resolution I,

country such as the southern, Louisville
and Nashville. and Chicago. milwaukee,

other railroad properties since the passage

| cause his resolution was not definite
enough and specific in its charges an'
sugge sted that II Mr.. Weeks desired Il
broaden the inquiry. there was nothing
| to prevent him from introducing II resolu
| ton to that effect.

TANGLE IN SENATE
OYER THE TRADE BILL
Committee on Interstate Com
merce Drops Work Because Of
Wilson's Attitude.

WASHINGTON. May 2o.-After a fruitless
effort TO come TO "A conclusion on the ques-
ton Of reporting a bill for an interstate
trade commission and postponing all other
trust legislation until the regular session
in December the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce virtually threw up
the sponge to-day and Senator Newlands
went out of town for rest The com
mittee will not meet again until next
Tuesday.
The attitude of the President has caused
most of the trouble. Members of the
committee understood that the President
was willing to accept the judgment OF the
Congress leaders rs to the policy OF pass
ing simply the interstate trade bill and
allowing the other legislation on trusts to
go over until the regular session pending
report from the Interstate Commerce
Committee as to what the legislation
would be.
A motion in the committee by Senator
willard Salisbury OF Delaware to make
a report to the Senate In accordance with
this plan is still pending. The members
of the committee apparently do not want
to take a vote on the question until they
have more definite assurances what the
President will accept.
Meanwhile critics are finding tault with
the bill reported by the Senate suo-com-
mittee and made public. One senator
said to-day that the subcommittee OIL
was really the work Of two Senators
Robinson of Arkansas and Cummins OF
Iowa-and the more 1t was studied the
less popular II became.
The fact became known to-day that a
number OF changes have been made in the
bill since II was made public week or
no ago. The most important or these
changes affects interlocking directorates.
The committee has made revolution
airy change in that section of the bill.
which. as first drained. excluded from
| interstate commerce any corporation
, which had an interlocking directorate
with a competing corporation in inter-
| state commerce.
Mainly on the suggestion OF Senator
Salisbury of Delaware this leglsla ton
would afford corporations an opportunity
| to refuse to keep their contracts, where
| the other party to the agreement was
| carrying on commerce untFwfuily the
| committee decided to wipe out corporate
responsibility and make guilt personal
Members of the committee decline Il
| talk about the changes the committee ha'
| made, but one OF them intimated that al
the language now stood the interlockinl
| directors themselves would be made re
sponsible for violations and not the cor
porations they serve.
The situation In the Senate COMMITTEES
in regard to trust legislation is a hope
less one at present The members o
the committee admit this, and II Is sal,
that Chairman Newlands Is much dis
courased.
He is eager to have the programme
limited 10 the passage of the interstate
trade commission bill for the present
but he has been unable to convince som
OF his colleagues and the President tina
this plan will meet the situation.
