Ag|tate, Organize, Act For
SeIf-Preservation.

The colored people of the
United States are face to face
with a determined effort by
certain Southern Democrats
to subject them to segregation
under the federal government
at the national capital. They
are purposely trying to put
the stamp of approval of the
national government on this
most degrading Of race dis
examinations to nationalize it.
They seek to do this now,
when the national Democrat
ic party is in control of the ex-
ecutive and both branches of
the legislative branch of the
federal government. Only
tremendous campaign against
this will avail to defeat this
purpose. The foundation and
backbone of this campaign
must be the colored people
themselves. I hey must ap-
peal and petition and protest
to the president and congress.
They must agitate and arouse
the latent sense of justice and
respect tor free institutions in
the white people of America.
They must begin to do this at
once. This can only be done
by very great number of in
dividual colored Americans
acting along these lines, In
addition there must be agitat.
ion and action by organizat-
ions of colored pcoplein every
or nearly every state in the
Union.
One has only to be at the
national capital and see what
is going on to be convinced of
this. 1t is not a party fight,
and partisan lines should be
ignored. The danger is
through the federal govern
ment and we are all citizens
Of it and should all exert
pressure upon the federal
government, both direct and
through others. We appeal
to the race to realize the dam
ger and to exert their pow
ers as citizens at once and as
never before. We can win if
we will work-Guardian.

death could sever the cement

mark her last resting place to
commemorate an unfinished
life. for with her the last duty
had been accomplished, and
the closing chapter bearing
the inscription "the end had
been written and life's curtain
had silently and gently de-
seended. She has gone to
her last and we'll earned rest,
gone to meet those of her
loved ones, who preceded her.

The Independent On Segregation

We are amazed and asham.
ed that this new and insulting
order shonld have been pro-
mulgated now. We wonder
what Southern influence
should have dared to risk the
result of it, if it did not mind
the injustice of it. 1t is an
act that ought to excite oppo-
sition and condemnation much
more serious than any tariff
policy that divides the parties;
for this is not matter of mon
ey merely, It is a matter Of
justice, of equal rights. of fair
play, to men and women as
worthy of consideration as the
best of us. These colored
people, who are thus set apart
as unfit to be in the same
room as their fellow servants
Of the country, are human be-
ings, they are not pariahs.
Those who insult them, who
refuse to give them an equal
chance with themselves, lack
not merely the instincts of lad
les and gentlemen, but the
sense of justice, which is the
basis of a free and equal gov
will do a righteous act if he
interdicts this discrimination
against American citizens. He
has spoken we'll for the Jews
Roumania. Will he not say a
noble word for Negroes in his
own country, who are under
his own orders, his own pro-
lection?

people of the United States,

forms one tenth of the popu-

along that line. Especially
as regards the present Ma
tional Democratic administra-
ton }
Wilson's Watchful Waiting
Policy being the main cry of
the democratic orators in our
very recent election, we shall
make some queries about the
so-called "watchful waiting
policy" In the first place we
believe the Professor -Presi :
dent has been given credit for
doing simply what every Pres
Eidene ofeAe4S since Wash :
ington made his historic fare
we'll address, would have done
and that is keep hands off,
and not enter into any en-
tangling alliance with foreign
nations. But is it not fact
that our soldiers we're hurried
down to Vera Cruz 20 enforce
the demand to have Huerta
salute the American flag,
which is claimed he insulted
through some Mexican sold
iers arresting American army
men and officers on Mexican
soil? Vera Cruz was taken
by the United States, but has
Huerta saluted the American
flag? Although this govern
ment refused to recognize
him as President of the Mex
ican Republic. Have the po-
litical factions in Mexico
ceased hghting2 Have the
outrages on Americans stop
ped or even become less?
In short what have we ac-
complished in the Mexico af-
fair by the Watchful waiting
policy toward Mexico2 In
view of the fact that Secretary
of State Bryan has made it
known that on the 23rd Of
Nov. the American .rooDS
will evacuate Vera Cruz. In
all seriousness what has the
watchful, waiting policy ac-
tomplished2 God knows we
believe the first chapter in our
policy with Mexico in not tot
ally intervening. nor absolute
ly abstaining from intervent-
ion will go down in history as
one of the many mistaken poll
cies of the Wilson administrat-
ion. Segregation of Govern
ment employees in the various
departments in our National
Capital, such as has never
been known before since the
Negro became a citizen, is
another topic which La
Estrella' will deal with in a
future communication. But
