IDLE MEN WATKINS FOR An OppOnTU
NIFTY TO CORRECT A MISTAKE.

A few days ago a committee OF
colored men called on President
Wilson to protest against the un-
just discrimination going on in
certain departments of the pub
lie service against their race,
solely on account of their color.
In stating the case, the commit
tee called the Presidents atten-
ton TO certain promises in the
baltimore platform, relative to
the treatment Of all the people,
should his party be successful
At the polls. and on being assur
ed by his party that il elected
every promise in that platform
would be faithfully kept and car
ried out in letter and sririt, and
that he was indeed q second
Moses-thousands of colored
men rallied around the Demo
cratic standard and helped them
win . glorious victory. The Com
mittee told the President that il
his Administration winked at
these charges, when one word
from him would settle the whole
matter. then there would be at
least, some grounds for the sus-
picion that his platform was
molasses to catch nies," and
never was intended to be carried
out. and those Of the race who
voted for him would feel that
they had made a mistake. To
which the President replied
That IL the colored man felt
that he had made a mistake in
voting for him and his party.
that there would be another cleo
ton 1t which. all mistakes might
ne corrected"
The truth is, the Com mittee
did not 60 far enough. 1t nigh,

transported across the street in front
of the Elks' home. The first part set
ting is a revelation. A reproduction
of the beautiful Elks home is shown,
with the orchestra placed on the We
randa. The ballad singers will be seen
on the steps of the home, while the
"niggers" will gambol on the green
in front of the building and keep
things going all the time. The only
landmark missing will be Old Henry,
and he may get in at this finish.
Extreme care and good judgment
have been used in picking the musical
selections, and the consequence is
that the songs used are without eX-
ception brand new within the past few
weeks, among those most popular on
Broadway today.
The olio will consist of six acts. The
Elks' quartet will shine; Shelf Wright
will unload a monologue worth the
price of admission: dancing number
will be a diversion from the ordinary
local talent; Leon ID. Brooks of Bell
vile, N. j., will be presented in a
series of novelty recitations; sur
prise vii be sprung, and the notable
evening will close with a fast ANA iu-
rious half-hour with THE Misfit
Army, Cut On the Bias" The Quality
Four, the New Daytona theater or
chestra, will do much to add to the
success of the production. AS a local
talent offering the Elks' show will be
unsurpassed. AS an evenings enter

of anybody's money.

The feeling that pruning is IN I'M
