Dem nocratic Presidents. The
World keeps itself fairly we'll
informed about Washington
affairs, but the first it ever
heard of this alleged friction
to xhich MIR. McAdoo began
his jim-Crow proceedings in
the Treasury Department.
Tie President thinks this is
moi. a political question, but he
is wrong. Anything that is
unjust, discriminating and un-
American in government is
certain to be a political ques-
ton. Servants of the United
States Government are SER
wants of the United States re-
gardless of race or color.
While the Democrats of the
country have been trying to
solye certain great problems
of government, a few South
ern members of the Cabinet
have been allowed to exploit
their petty local prejudice at
the expense of the party S
reputation for exact justice
Whether the Pre- i d e I
thinks so or not, :he segrega-
tion rule was promulgated as
a deliberate discrimination
against Negro employees.
Worse still, it is a small
mean, petty discrimination
and Mr.. Wilson ought to have
SET his heel upon this pre-
sunptuous Jim Crow govern
m&nt the moment it was es-
takfshed. He ought to Sc!
hisaesi upon it now. 1t is
lreproach to his administration
and to the great political prin'
ciples which he represents

And the Des Moines Reg
lister even goes so far as to
declare:
The president was OF
speaking frankly with the
Negro leaders, and he fully
deserved the rebuke he re-
ceived from them. To us the
incident is discouraging in
that it is another set back to
our effort to believe that
the presidents feelings are as
right" as are his intellectual
ideals. 1t seems to us that
Lincoln never would have so
treated delegation of Ne
groes. and that at the same
time he would have seen to it
that the high Office of the
presidency took no insult. A
man whose heart as we'll as
his mind was really concerned
in "the submerged IS per
cent" would have been more
kind. more forgiving, more
gentle 1t is just tn 8 quality
of "unfeelingness" that is
going to make most Difficult,
any effort to turn the Pro-
gressive party to the support
of Mr.. Wilson. This attempt
is now a distinct possibility.
1t may eventually succeed. if
Republicanism is blind enough
to try to re-create itself in the
Image of Penrose and reac-
ton. But it will be hamper
ed all along the line by the
fact that Mr.. Wilson, while
expecting and receiving Pro-
gressive support in the past.
has treated Progressives with
cold contempt and distrust.

them had been appointed by
Grover Cleveland-one of his
appointees to high places be-
ing the father of Mr.. Trotter,
a veteran of the Fifty fifth
Massachusetts,. But the Will
son Administration went out
of its way to create the issue
it now deplores. and cannot
see its way clear to admitting
its mistake and reverting to
the only defensible position
of absolute equality in the
Government service.
The way to deal with race
prejudice in such matters is
not to enhance it by yielding,
but resolutely to confront it
with refusal to give in. 1t
is surprising how often prejud :
ice fades away in a given sit
uation when it finds itself
wholly blocked. 1t is even
more surprising how frequent
iy it is merely a state Of mind
Often there is no objection
whatever to the presence Of
colored people on the most
familiar terms, provided their
position is clearly stamped as
menial; let them suddenly as
pire to equal privileges. and
those same people become a,
once too offensive to be per-
mitted to breathe the same
atm sphere. The situation in
Washington would be restored
in twinkling to the old and
absolutely satisfactory status
if the highest authority were
simply to lay down the law
that there was going to be a
square deal for everybody in
the departments without the
slightest discrimination; that
there can be only one class OF
public servants-all to be treat
ed with courtesy, considerat-
ion and absolute justice.

The Chicago Tribune of
Nov. IA, critically remarks
By giving his opinion off,
cially even if not publicly, Mr..
Wilson put the head of the
government in the position of
denying the principles of the
government and his situation
was awkward and not pleasant.
President Wilson came very
nearly establishing a national
program of treatment to be
given the negro when he de-
Tended segregation. If that
step is to be taken it certainly
is a serious one and the Presi-
dent would be in better posi-
ton if he we're representing
national rather than sectional
sentiments.
We are not ready to con-
ccde that any body of citizens
has less standing under the
law than any other. 1t is true
but to admit it officially is off
ensive. The President could
have avoided the ..interview
and that was the only sensible
thing he could have done. If
the South wishes to make any
such issue as this 1t will find
that the North, where prejud-
ice is violent. is nevertheless
restless when as a part of the
nation it is asked to declare
that the main principle of the
nation is piece of hypocrisy
and does nor apply where it is
inconvenient.

Negroes which called upon
him to protest against the ad-
ministration's policy of seq
regating'blacks from whites in
the government departments
at Washington.
The discussion of the segre.
cation issue is interesting
enough in itself, but the view
taken of the presidents con-
duct is even more interesting.
There is a very considera
BILE section of the press-Wil-
liam Allen Whites Emporia
Gazette among other papers
which approves without fur
ther analysis the Presidents
rebuke to Chairman Trotter
as one who had talked to me
as no other man has done
since l assumed the presi-
dency." These journals see
in the incident an insult to
the presidency and let it go at
that. without further analysis.
This is, perhaps, the prevail
ing view. But others see far
ther into the incident. The
Boston Advertiser. for in
stance, says:
We took occasion to say
yesterday that we believed
that the President was abso-
lutely right in his protest
against any show Of discount
esy on the part of the Boston
delegation of colored men
who called upon him. If
there was any intentional dis
leoureesy, also, we believe that
the president Will be fully
justified in excluding from the
White House hereafter any
man guilty of such an insult
to the presidents high Office,
which in itself justly and right
fully demands honor from
every loyal American.
That much being said, we
hope that this unfortunate in
cident will not distract public
attention to much from the
purpose of the delegates who
visited the president. Those
men went from a feeling Of
justifiable indignation-fully
as justihable as that shown by
the president. The presi-
dents rightful and proper
protest concerned the insult
to himself. His. visitors
rightful and just protest had
to do with a wrong to an en-
tire race of Americans.
While the Philad e p h a
Press remarks:
There is nothing in Mr..
Trotter remarks as reported
which discloses any ground
for the presidents resentment.
Possibly the speakers manner
may have been to earnest,
positive and aggressive to suit
the president. He turned on
him as he once before turned
on the woman suffrage dele

arguments were not to his

Gooding in Rathdrum.

Ex-Governor F. R. Gooding,
candidate for U. S. senator, ad
dressed fair sized audience at the
Fraternal hall last evening. A
number of county officials were
present from CGur d'Alene.
Mr.. Gooding spoke chiefly of the
tariff and its effect on the farmer
and laborer of this country. He
declared that free trade destroyed
prosperity and caused hard times
by reducing prices received by the
farmer for his products, destroying
his home market and, by importa-
tons of large quantities Of foreign
goods, brings American labor into
competition with the cheap labor
of Europe, Asia and South Amer
lea. Free trade, he said, does
not reduce the cost of living
because the trusts are permitted to
still control the price to the con-
sumer. He mentioned the wooden,
harvester, beef, tobacco and other
trusts.
Mr.. Gooding said the republican
party is the party OF prosperity
because its principles include a
protective tariff. He said if elect
ed U. S. senator he will vote for
protection, for national prohibition,
for woman suffrage and restricted
immigration. He spoke strongly
in favor of Idaho receiving every
dollar of revenue from the natural
resources of the state.
Mr.. Hoffman presided at the
meeting, and the Rathdrum City
band furnished music for the occa'
sion.

HEALTHOGRAMS.
(By DR.. R. r. Daniels.)

The average man requires eight
hours OF sound sleep every night.
Health is the first essential to sue
cess and to real happiness.
Ice water and iced foods are deadly
enemies. Don't knowingly take an
enemy into your mouth.
biood-making foods and drinks are
delusion, All good foods when
well digested make good blood.
Remember that the man who eats
everything he wants, smokes all he
wants and takes no care OF his health
Is usually the man who dies young.
backache usually means rbeuma-
tlsm and overworked kidneys. Eat
less meat, potatoes, and bread and
butter and you will get rid OF the
rheumatism, and at the same time
take the load from off the kidneys.
Mastication Is the first step in di.
gestlon; 1T is also the only part of
digestion that is under our direct
control and we should see to it that
1t is thoroughly done.
The hotter the weather the less
food you need. On the average hot
day your body uses up only one third
the amount of food that it uses on
the average cold day.

SEED DISTRIBUTION

In his recent address before the
Forty-seventh Annual Session of the
National Grange, Patrons of Hus-
bandry, the secretary of agriculture
made the following reference to seed
distribution:
You may be interested to know
that in the estimates just submitted
to congress it has been recommend
ed that the distribution of ordinary
vegetable and flower seeds be dis.
continued and that part of the $780,
coo heretofore devoted to this pur-
pose be used to procure, propagate,
and distribute among the people new
and valuable seeds and plants. If
congress sees fit in its wisdom to &C
cept the recommendation, particular
attention will be given to the secur-
ing and distribution of new and valu-
able seeds and plants, including for
age crop seeds, whose character and
quality will be thoroughly known and
tested; and pains will be taken in
every instance to see that a suffi-
Gent supply is sent to make it worth
y lille for the individual farmer to
make an experime emit.
