HlNDUs SHOULD BEWARE!

Hindu students from practically
every leading American university at
tended the meeting OF the Hindustan
Association of the United States at
Chicago last week. They are trying
to encourage the young men and wom-
en- of India to attend American
schools.
1t may be all right now but if the
number becomes very great they
would be treated in America just as
Afro-Americans are treated-with con-
tempt. Even now Hindus are prac-
tically barred from the Pacific Coast
and In the South they find it neces-
sary to wear turbans to prevent being
mistaken for Afro-Americans and be-
Ing subjected to the insult and degra-
dation Of the Jim crow car and other
devilish devices Of that benighted Sec
ton Of the country.

It is said that President Wilson
wishes to show the Afro-Americans
that he is not inimical to them. He
can do it easily and without fe ar from
the opposition of Vardaman. Mr..
President, just pass the word down
the line that there is to be no more
segregation in the service Of the
United States government; revoke the
separate toilet order and declare that
Afro-Americans are to be treated just
the same as other classes Of Amer
leans.

THE RACE is RISING.

The greatest takers the world has
produced have been Caucasians. The,
have feeced their brethren out 8.
billions Of dollars by means Of all
sorts of schemes from religion to
tango. It would require too much
space to even name the many plans
of separating their victims from their
coin.
Some time since one Charles A.
Lomax, an Afro-American. became q
little envious Of the Caucasians who
were extracting the .'long green
from their confiding brethren and
concluded that he could do something
along that line himself.
Lomax conceived the idea Of teach
ing colored men to be Pullman por-
tiers by mail. Students sent In their

THE REPUBLICS SHAME.

- $50 = ; 49,
For the; first time in the history of
the United States, the machinery of
the government Of 1000, 900 people is
being used, TO humiliate and degrade
5000. 900 Of its loyal and law-abiding
citizens.
In some Of the departments of the
Federal Government at Washington
Afro. American employees have been
segregated from their former associ-
ates and fellow workers and ordered
to use separate retiring rooms. In
some instances cages have been built
to separate Afro-American and white
government clerks. No other class is
obliged to bear this badge OF degrade
ton.
There is no warrant in law for these
orders of subordinate officials. The
facts have been brought to the atten-
ton of the Department heads and
thousands of petitions, memorials and
letters have been sent to President
Wilson, but up to this writing he has
not seen fit to rescind this infamous
un-American policy.
The clerks who have been humiliat-
ed by the segregation orders are in no
sense wards Of the government. They
have won their places by examina-
and women and the government which
they have SO faithfully and efficiently
served has no right to place upon
them this badge of dishonor.
It is not question of social equality
that chimera which so many Caucas-
ians claim to fear, but of civil equality
which is the right of every citizen.
Heretofore the attempts to degrade
the citizenry have been the work of
Individual states in the Southern tier:
the Federal Government must be held
responsible for this new attempt to
establish that impossible thing, caste
in a Republic. .-..-.2-s.s-.4
Honest fair minded Americans feel
that the fair fame of our country is
being trailed in the dust; they hang
is the Nations shame.
We hold President Wilson respon-
sible because in the final analysis the
acts of his subordinate officials are his
and he has the power to end this in
justice by a word.
We have not lost faith in the Presi-
dent and we believe that he will care
fully consider the many protests
which have been made and give the
word which Christian Statesman
should give, that during his admins
tration there shall be no segregation
or discrimination on account of race,
creed or color among the servants of
the government.

money from all over the country. The
postoffice inspectors say he promised
to get them positions and failed to
make good. He was held to the grand
jury.

Theory and practice of moral sua-

Aesthetics Of whiskbrooming.
Art Of bedmaking.
The human smile and how to use

Brig Gen. John J. Pershing, former

that the Moros of the Philippine Isl.

Americans should attempt to convert
the Moros. They have good reli.

The ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end OF 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by a resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island of Jamaica, where he was gov
erhor for i've years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is British colony and the govern
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which white
men have and there is no color line.
Among otner things Sir Sidney said:
Ny study and comparison OF con-
ditions in the United States and the
West indies" he said, "has brought
me to that conclusion. American and
colonial politicians and public men are
not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor
evangelical Christian missionaries. T
do not expect them to adopt the meth
DDS of missionaries, nor do I sympa-
thize with all their programmes. But
it cannot be ignored that it happened
that the faiths of the men who laid
the foundations for the peaceful de-
velopment Of the mixed community in
Jamaica were democratic and human
itarian and, above all, uncompromis-
fngly Christian.
Were race differentiation held to it
must increase civil discord. When the
balance of numbers is as it is in the
South in America it must tend to
foster obscure preparations for civil
war and rebellion. II statesmen and
citizens face In the contrary direction
I do not say that they will attain i'm
mediately civil peace, but am conf
dent that they will be travelling the
only road toward 1t.
Il do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combfna-
ticn between humans in healthy
national life, but race difference is
only one of many schismatic agencies.
The solution of the difficulty involves
discipline for the white man
as the black

essarily to sit at desks with colored
men" But there is no statement that
there have been many such complaints
or that they were heard of under pre-
v1ous Adm1ntSt lions. Nor is It ex-
planned why colored clerks are taken
out OF rooms in which their sole com
pan1ons are white men, or why, If
there should be segregation because
OF the women, the Government does
not segregate all its women clerks.
Nor does Mr.. McAdoo record the fact
that In many Instances the white
clerks, without respect to sex, have
gone to their colored associates and
expressed their complete dissent from
the Governments caste undertaking.
He Indignantly denies that poorer
quarters have been given to the segre-
