NO JlM.cRoW GOVERNMENT.
(From the New York World.)

(rrOm the New York WORLDLY
NO President ever suffered more
from the foolish indiscretions of mem.
bers Of his Cabinet than has Mr.. Will
son. he had a further Illustration of
II 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
TINS 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
lnlurlng 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
it 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 political question, but he is
wrong. Anything that is unjust, dis.
terminating, 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 1t 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
Mr.. Mead 90 had to segregate the col.
ored employees of the Treasury in
Washington.
While the Democrats of the COM
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 deliberate discrimination
against colored employees.
Worse still, it is 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.

STANDING TOGETHER FOR RIGHT.

STANDING TOGETHER FOR RIGHT.
The unanimity with which the Col
ored press endorsed the action of viii.
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.
The Louisville Courier.J 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:
''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"
Says the Lexington Herald: I'VE re.
greet that the President has again per-
mitted himself to display irritation to
those who went to him as Chief Exc
cutive of the Nation, and refused %
answer questions put to him about
the treatment Of public employees.
"For the second time he has per-
mitted himself to lose his temper
when confronted by a delegation Of
citizens asking him to take action
about q matter which is embarrassing
to them.

SPECIFIC DENIAL OF
lNSOLENCE, TO PRESIDENT.
Interview in. Boston Globe of Nov. II,
1914.

William Monroe TrOtter, whose re.
marks on segregation in Cove -nment
departments stirred President Wilson
at hearing in the White House last
Thursday, arrived in Boston yesterday
afternoon, and, after denying any,
thing offensive either in his speech or
manner, told Of the way in which the
report of the hearing was given to the
newspapermen. ...
GAS we left the President" said Mr.
Trotter, II told him I was very sorry
if he still considered that I had Of
Tended him. The President smiled
and said: %, we'll call it all right
when we came out our delegation
caucused in Sec. Tumulty's room as
to what we should say for the news
papers. told the newspaper men
briefly about the conference, merely
describing it as a warm affair
II had gone outside the White
House when Mr.. Tumulty called me
back and said: Trotter, you have vio-
lated every courtesy of the White
House in quoting the President to the
press
II told Mr.. Tumulty that I had done
so in ignorance of the rules, and apol-
ogized. He accepted my apology.
Then I asked the newspaper not to
publish what I told them, and they
consented. Mr.. Tumulty said he was
satisfied and left.
White House Statement Issued.
"The report of the conference was
then given out from the White House.
f0 oftor
the President had told me everything
was all right, that White House
statement should say that I had Of
Tended the President of the United
States"
Did Not Lose Temper or catechize.
II want to say" he continued, that
neither in manner, language, tone nor
in any other way was I discourteous,
impertinent or insolent to President
Wilson. Vs. .....
my whole attitude was that of en-
deavoring, on the spur of the moment,
to answer a piece of masterful sophis-
try and to refute it successfully and
feeling great responsibility to do so,
spoke with positiveness, deliberate
ness and directness, looking the Pres
ident full in the eye.
II did not quiz or catechize the
President, and I did not attempt to
debate with him. The difficulty did
eliminated against and segregated in
of my race and to say that I should
regard it as benevolence and so rep
resent it to my race.
Although it was trying ordeal
to listen to such statement at length
by the Chief Executive of the Nation,
had at no time any temper, much
less lost my temper" @ r.

THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGA.
TION." -.-.

(From The Indianapolis News.)
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 distinc tions. When men and
women enter the public service they
ought to be ready to conform to that
principle. No one is compelled to
enter it, 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 well,
not in the narrow partisan, but in the
broad sense. The people of the United
States as whole would oppose the
adoption by their government of any
thing resembling the Jim Crow policy.

who have 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.
