ADVOCATES EQUAL JUSTICE.
What Oswald Garrison Willard Says
About Race Segregation.

What Oswald Garrison Willard Says
About Race Segregation.
The news from Washington that the
effort to segregate the colored and
white clerks in the federal depart
ments is checked If not ended must
cause to rejoice every one who be-
lieves in fair play and the square deal.
says Oswald Garrison Willard, editor
Of the New York Evening Post, in a
lengthy article in the Philadelphia
Press Jan. 2. He says:
Particularly to supporters Of the
Woodrow Wilson administration, like
myself, Is the news welcome, for this
attempt to draw caste lines in the
very heart Of the government Of the
greatest Of democracies, founded upon
the principle that all are born free and
equal, constituted a grave blot upon
Mr.. Wilson's record, besides laying
him open to the charge Of preaching
new freedom" but practicing new
slavery" for those upon whom divine
Providence in its wisdom has bestowed
dark skins.
But II we can rejoice over this re-
versal of bad federal policy, to our
shame be 1t said that segregation goes
on apace elsewhere. Nine southern
cities have voted to establish the
ghetto on American soil. though Au-
gusta. to Its credit, has just voted
down this cruel and un-American
proposition. -
1t is a policy dictated by the most
selfish Of considerations, for it would
make the progress Of q race In an
urban community depend upon land
values. For once the commonest ex-
cuse for holding the Negro down-the
false cry Of race purity. and Of social
equality-is put aside In favor of this
new proposition that the Negroes
must be confined to given quarter
lest by going elsewhere they depreciate
the property of whites.
Thus it is laid down that If q colored
man would rise and secure for bis
children better light, better air, a bet
ter home in less crowded and more
sanitary quarters, he is thereby com.
mitting a social crime; that we must
prevent his carrying out an ambition
which we applaud in every other
American. be he Jew or gentle, Ar
? rnenian or Russian or Pole or German
or pure American.
We reprobate it in the Negro as II
mere contact with him were leprous.
We can all sympathize with those
whose property suffers in value by
reason Of color prejudice. but the
whole history Of our cities tells Of the
ruination Of aristocratic quarters by
the influx of trade or of masses OF i'm
migrants. Sudden changes in value
are what every one faces who buys
urban property. Losing money ought
surely never to be an excuse for put
ting extra burdens on a race already
heavily disadvantaged. r....='

Jan. 8. was attended by over 1000

ness to the vast throng which attend

This association. which Is the same

the most active advocate of the rights

cities throughout the country. from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast.

By N. BARNETT DoDsoN.


New York.-One Of the most promi
nent features in the work of the Afri

great interest in home and foreign
missions. The denomination has
grown In numbers and influence more
rapidly on account of this fact per.
haps than from any other known
cause. With competent bishops, we'll
qualified presiding elders, pastors and
secretaries, the work Of the various
churches and departments has shown
many good results since the last gen
eral conference.
Particular attention Just now is be-
ing focused on the work of the mis-.
sionary department, Of which the Rev.
DR.. ]. Warren Rankin is the efficient
secretary. DR.. Rankin was elected to
his present position at the general con-
ference Of the A. NJ. e. church held in
Kansas City. Mo-, In 1912. The de-
partment has accomplished a great
deal Of work under DR.. Rankin's man
agement Of less than two years. Much
has been done to increase the efficiency
and meet the demands Of the work
In both the home and foreign fields.
When he took charge of the work
the department was in debt. and there
was no money on hand with which to
pay the bills standing against the de.

for their untiring work In raising mon

more pressure on men and women in

Not ALI in the Speakers Job Lot.

The amiable Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, Hon. Champ Clark of Missouri writes
to The Herald protesting against msinterpretation
OF one of his utterances at school commencement
in Hoboken, N. J., recently. The sentence of which
the Speaker complains quoted from New York
newspaper which made him refer to Representative
Reed and Senator Bailey as members of lob lot
of accidental Congressman" in the Fifty-third Con-
gress.
The Speakers letter to The Herald quite convinces
it that his words were misunderstood by some New
York reporter and therefore cheerfuIly seize the
opportunity to vindicate him. Speaker Clark writes
to The Herald:
wouldn't pay the slightest attention to it. i never
said that the House of the Fiftythrd Congress con-
sisted OF job lot of men, who not fit to be
there, and surely never spoke of Senator Bailey and
Speaker Reed as samples of those who ought not
be there, because have great admiration for their
talents and count them among my friends. The man
who wrote the statement which you quoted deliberately
misstated what said because he couldn't have been
mistaken. was talking about the extremes who get
INTO Congress. l then stated that If seemed to me
that there were more extremes in the House of the
Fifty-third Congress than any other that | have
served IN. gave samples of extremes in age height
