TOGETHER FOR RIGHT.

The unanimity with which the Col
ored press endorsed the action of Will
liam Monroe Trotter in his protest
against segregation was remarkable.
Only two or three editors 'of small
caliber, who evidently have some per-
sonal grievance. against Mr.. Trotter,
abused the man who has against tre-
mendous odds done battle for the
rights of the race.
These sore head publishers of papers
of little influence will not be able to
do much harm. What they have said
is more than offset by strong South
ern Democratic newspapers which
have rebuked the President for his &C,
ton. Two Kentucky newspapers were
especially strong against governmental
segregation. --3
The Louisville Courier-Jo Journal: "The
Courier-Journal agrees with the New
York World that the segregation bust
ness over in Washington spells rather
small. During fifty years, including
two Democratic Presidential terms
there was no thought of separating the
black and white official sheep. Why
should the suggestion meet the assent
of anybody now. 81
THE segregation order should be re-
voked. It has no real cause or inter.
est to back it, The issue should not
have been raised. Let Mr.. Wilson take
matters further into his own hands,
and restore the status quo.'

NO JIM-cRow GOVERNMENT.
(From the New York WORLDLY

\HAOAA C11C 4\CW xOlh VOIlu.y
No President ever suffered more
from the foolish indiscretions of mem.
bers of his Cabinet than has Mr.. VIII
son. He had further illustration of
1t yesterday in his unfortunate inter.
view with delegation of colored men
who called at the White House to pro-
test against the segregation OF races
IN Government departments.
The President should have foreseen
this unfortunate issue when Mr.. Nc.
Adoo and Mr.. Burleson were carrying
their color-line theories into demo.
cratic government. Mr. Wilson told
the committee that there had been no
discrimination in the comforts and
surroundings of the colored clerks. but
explained that ''he had been informed
by officials that the segregation had
been started to avoid friction between
the races, and not with the object of
injuring the colored men," The Presi-
dent failed to explain, nevertheless,
why no such rule had been considered
necessary until Mr.. Burleson and Mr..
McAdoo got into the Cabinet.
For narly half century white
clerks and colored clerks have worked
side by side in the departments of
washington, under republican and
under democratic presidents. The
World keeps itself fairly we'll informed
about Washington affairs, but the first
1t ever heard of this alleged friction
to which Mr.. Wilson refers was when
Mr.. McAdoo began his Jim.Crow pro-
ceedings in the Treasury Department.
The president thinks that this is
not a political question, but he is
wrong. Anything that is unjust, dis.
eliminating, and un-American in gov
eminent is certain to be a political
question. Servants of the United
States Government, regardless of race
or color. For several years a colored
man has been Collector of Internal
Revenue in New York. He never
found it necessary to segregate the
white employees of his department to
prevent friction; yet he would have
had quite as much right to do so as
MT. McAdoo had to segregate the col.
ored employees of the Treasury in
Washington.
While the Democrats of the coun.
try have been trying to solve certain
great problems of government, a few
Southern members of the Cabinet
have been allowed to exploit their
petty local prejudice at the expense of
the party's reputation for exact JUS.
tice.
Whether the President thinks so or
not, the segregation rule was promul.
gated as a deliberate discrimination
against colored employees.
Worse still, it is a small, mean,
petty discrimination, and Mr.. Wilson
ought to have set his heel upon this
presumptuous Jim.Crow government
the moment it was established. He
ought to set his heel upon it now. It
is a reprOach to his administration
and to the great political principles
which he represents.

THE PRESIDENT AND sEGREcA.
TON,

(From The Indianapolis News.1
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.

who have a right to be treated by their
Government without discrimination.
The race affected had a right to be
heard in their own behalf and, showed
a proper spirit in going directly to
the. President with their grievance.
We fear that the President has lost his
head. He is certainly not so happy in
these extempore statements, made un-
der the irritation that so easily besets
him as in his more studied deliver
ances which compel the admiration
even of his political opponents and
often skillfully covered up the falla-
cies of his reasoning character of the
policy he is commencing.

Europe with food and other common
necessities we will create new domes-
tic business in lines previously inn
ported and we will export goods which
Europe previously has made for her
self.
"A good example of this is the fact
that right now representatives of
European countries are negotiating
here for the purchase of hundreds of
heavy motor trucks. Continental
truck makers are absolutely unable to
supply the trucks required by the diff
ferent large armies. The production
of motor trucks in Europe always has
been limited. and now being crippled
by the ravages of war, there is only
one big source of supply and that is
America. Europe must have trucks,
both for war purposes and to take the
place of those vehicles which have
been requisitioned by the different
governments. IT is only a few such
factories as the Packard which are
able to turn out these trucks quickly
and in large numbers. Consequently,
Europe is now buying of us.
I'm the conduct of our own bust
ness here in New York, where war
excitement runs the highest, we are
going on Just about as usual. We may
practice minor economics such as
would be good thing for us anyway
but we do not intend to curtail any
of the expenditures which affect the
proper conduct Of our various stores
and service stations and the proper
care of our customers. While Europe's
calamity is almost incomprehensible,
the United States has no excuse for
losing its head and |, for one, do not
think that it will do so. ! absolutely
predict gradual readjustment of
trade conditions to meet the new re-
quirements which have been thrust
upon u.s. to our advantage as well as
to our disadvantage. There seems to
be no real foundation for calamity
bowling. Meanwhile, we expect to go
right about our business, selling as
many cars as we can, which from
present sales and prospects will be a
good many, and taking care of our
trade, according to our usual pro-
cedure."

Chandler Six For Ralph
DePalma, Race Driver

Ralph DePalma, Americas most
popular racing driver, spent the aft
ernoons of August 21 and 90 accumu-
lating some $4,000 in prize money.
To obtain this purse he pushed his
Mercedes racer over 602 miles of IL
linois country road at an average
speed of 73 miles per hour. Now
$4,000 is a fairly acceptable sum to
almost anyone, but Ralph had more
at stake than appeared on the sur
face. Some months back he had set
his heart on purchasing an American
made siX-cylinder car and his dual
victory at Elgin spelled certain
achievement of his hopes
DePalmas choice of a Chandler

real tribute to the American built mo-

tunity of comparing the merits of

Sales Manager Ruprecht of the
Brady Murray Company, New York
City, who sold DePalma his new car
claims that the swarthy Italian is an
even better demonstrator than rare
pilot. After taking delivery of his
Chandler, Ralph invited the entire
sales force for ride and furnished a
novelty to the party by threading the
traffic of Fifth avenue as skillfully as
a New York bred taxi driver. Dur
ing the trip through the most con-
gested parts of the city, he kept the
six cylinder car on high gear and

Overland Cars For Coast
Patrol Duty in England

Twenty-Five Overland automobiles
were sold and delivered on August 5,
to the War Department of Great Brit
ain, according to word received from
John N. WHY'S, president of the
WHY'S Overland Company, who has
just returned from England. To-
gether with a number of automobiles
of the same make already in the serv-
ice of the English Army, the new cars
will be used for patrolling and guard
ing the coasts.
1.-The sturdy Overland construction
which has given the car universal
popularity as a pleasure vehicle is
making it invaluable to the English
coast guards says Mr.. WHY'S. Auto
mobiles also are being extensively used
for transporting men, ammunition and
supplies both in England and on the
continent They are already a great
factor in Red Cross and other hu-
manitarian work.
"The ability of motor cars to cover
great distances in a short space of
time has created a great demand for
them among the military authorities.
Many cars owned by private citizens
have been commandeered for pur-
poses of war.
There is also a great field for mo-
tor trucks on this side of the Atlantic.
Although difficulties are being en-
countered at present in shipping mo-
tor vehicles from the United States
to European parts, l believe that the
situation will clear within a few
weeks.
practically all of the motor trucks
manufactured in Europe are subsi-
died by the governments and conse-
quently are subject to call in case of
war. The withdrawal of these We
hicles from their ordinary work has
been followed by heavy levies upon
livery systems throughout the conti-
nent have been paralyzed, the tremen-
dous armies in the field are not en-
tirely provided with the needed trans
portation facilities.
