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 resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory. s....
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island OF Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
SOO,OO0 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
is a 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:
MY study and comparison of con.
dltlons in the United States and the
west lndles," he said, "has brought
me 10 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 me;h-
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
ltarlan and, above all, uncompromis-
ingly Christian. -s.-
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. If statesmen and
face in the contrary direction
| 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 it. -.
I do not suggest that race does not
greatly affect facilities for combina-
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 a.
as the black" -.'-'

John Arthur Johnson in a recent let

John Arthur Johnson in recent let
ter to the Cleveland Plain Dealer says
among other things: ''The whole
world wants to see a white man
champion. y bar no one when
I get my price. Moran's hackers met
my terms and all the others have the
same chance as Moran. X i i The
public wants white man to be my
successor. I am ready to fight 'em all
and bar no one, at 100000 apiece" So,
all the white hopes" understand what
they are up against, Johnson is the
recognized heavy weight champion of
the world and the fact that he is
black makes him none the less
champion and anyone who aspires to
the title must win it by licking Lii
Arthur.

known that so unjust a sentence had
been imposed white women sent in
protests, threats of recall and de-
nunciations. Deputations of white wo-
men visited the judge to demand that
action be taken to save the young man
from such severe punishment Tele-
phone messages informed him that
petitions were being prepared for his
recall. Other women called in person
to say that steps would be taken to
procure pardon from the governor.
The action of the women shows the
difference between California and the
South. If the highway robbery" had
occurred in Vardaman's state there
would have been a lynching.

JEFF DAVIS IN THE CAPITOL.

A statue of Jeff Davis, the arch
traitor who tried to disrupt the Union
in order that human slavery should
be preserved and extended, is soon to
be added to the collection in Statuary
Hall in the Capitol at Washington
The statue will be contribution to
the Nation from the state of Missis-
sippi.
The more or less grand old Common
wealth of Mississippi has contributed
the arch demagogue Vardaman who
represents the state in the United
States Senate, because it's Afro-Amer-
lean citizens have been robbed of
their votes. o..
Mississippi has also contributed to
the world the greatest number of
lynchings which have taken place in
any state in the Union. The unlaw-
full and unjustifable slaughter of Afro
Americans has made Mississippi a
veritable shambles.
Whittier are we drifting? What Is
to be the end of Nation which per-
mits its citizens to be murdered by
mobs; accepts as Senators men who
openly boast in the Senate Chamber
of the murder of their fellows; a Ma.
ton which attempts to degrade some
of it's citiZenry by discriminatory laws
and allows the segregation as lepers OF
men and women who have won their
places after severe tests and in spite
of the prejudice against them?
A statue of jeff Davis in the Capitol
at Washington!
God preserve our Nation!

HlNDUs SHOULD REWARE!

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.
It 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-
dcally 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.

A bill to segregate all white and col

partments was introduced IN the
House Of Representatives Monday by
Congressman Edwards of Georgia. Ths.
Edwards bill provides that white
clerks or employees shall not be re-
quired to occupy the same offices or
work rooms with clerks or employees
Of African blood or descent, nor shall
any white clerk or employee be placed
under the orders, direction or super

1t 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 fear 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.

DR.. W. Ward Plat, of Philadelphia,
is very anxious to convert the Asiatic
people living on the Pacific coast to
Christianity. Judging by newspaper
reports, it would seem that the Cau-
casians themselves need to be convert
ed to true Christianity. The Asiatics
are behaving themselves, making mon
ey, educating their children and con-
Quoting themselves with more propri-
ETY. than the white heather, who en-
deavor to Cypress them.

men. But there is no statement that
there have been many such complaints
or that they were heard of under pre-
v1ous Administrations. Nor is it ex-
planned why co1ored clerks are taken
out Of rooms lin 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 MIR. 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-
gated, but eye-witnesses have told of
colored women shut off in an unpleas-
ant alcove in one office; of others
quietly forced out of the lunch-rOom
they had been using for nine years
past and compelled to go into lava
tories at the lunch hour, of men clerks
segregated behind lockers in one cor
ner OF room in the dead-letter divi-
sion OF the Post Office Department.
Poorer accommod atoms for the segre-
gated are the inYariable law Of segre-
cation. The assignment of separate
toilet-rooms to the races under threats
Of prompt punishment for failure to
obey the rules has been another of
the deeply humiliating features Of the
Washington segregation. To the col
ored workers all this segregating has
been more brutal than slap in the
face. Il is as Il the great Govern
