THE COLOR LINE VExES THE
PRESIDENT, ..-
(From New York Evenino MaiIl

(From New York Evening MaiI.)
1t is hard to discover, in the rather
FULLY published reports, any sufficient
reason 1or the Presidents resentment
OF the efforts of Mr. Trotter to per-
suade him to abandon the offensive
policy of several Cabinet officers in
drawing the color line in the Federal
departments.
The subject under discussion was
the violation of the customs of fifty
years and the spirit of the Constitu-
ton in establishing "Jim Grow" gov
eminent. If the spokesman of the
Equal Rights League waxed warm in
urging the cause of his race. it is not
TO be wondered at. That he over.
stepped the bounds of propriety is not
shown. -
mat the President was vexed is all
that appears in the published record.
II any adequate reason for his vexa.
ton had been supplied by Mr.. Trot.
ter, 1t would surely have been dis.
closed.
That there was reason for the Pres.
ldent's i'll temper is quite true, but it
was supplied by the Cabinet members
VINO were responsible for the narrow
minded policy of segregating Colored
employees from white jobholders.
The incident recalls the similar vex.
alton shown by the President when he
abruptly dismissed an equal suffrage
delegation on June 30 on the ground
that he could not submit to cross
examination"
When man is right, he usually will
listen patiently to the other side:
when he knows he is wrong he is very
likely to fly off the handle.

DID THE PRESlDENT LOSE HIS
f@A> HEAD? a-,'

(From the Philadelphia Press.)
1t looks as though the result of the
last election has got on the Presidents
nerves and made him unreasonably ir.
ritable. In no other way can we &C.
count for. the extreme sensitiveness
and quick resentment which he exhib-
tied while w. NJ. Trotter, of Boston,
as chairman of a delegation of Col
ored men undertook to show him that
Colored employees were unfairly dis
eliminated against and segregated in
some of the executive departments
There is nothing in Mr.. Trotter's
remarks as reported which disclose
any ground for the Presidents resent
ment. Possibly the speakers manner
may have been too earnest, positive
and aggressive to suit the President
He turned on him as he once before
turned on the woman suffrage delega-
ton whose assertions and arguments
were not to his taste and drove the
President into making the absurd
statement that he was not at liberty
to approve woman suffrage because it
had no place in the National Demo
cratic platform. He told Trotter that
the Colored people were segregated in
the departments to avoid friction But
there was no friction until Mr.. McAdoo
and Mr.. Burleson got into the Cabi-
net and began to enforce in their de-
partments the principle of the Jim
Crow law.
The segregation practiced is wrong in
-rrinciple because 1t Is disagreeable and
unfair to one class of public employees

effort on the part of the Colored peo-
pie themselves should be made to
check this pale Of oppression which
has now settled down all over the
country. With the elimination of. our
political rights has come the interfer-
ence with our property rights and
from freeman to serf is but a short
walk in distance. Colored men must
stand up for their rights, and they
should not depend upon others to
stand up for them.
While the women are contending
for the right of suffrage, let the Col
ored men contend for the same thing,
Political pull" against us is accom-
plishing our ruin. We have never be.
lieved that the Colored people should
eschew politics. This was the COM
mencement of our undoing and the
sooner we get back on the political
road again, the better:
Rights are controlled and curtailed
by politics. This is the lever to be
used in our favor, just as the white
peoples have used it against us.

objection whatever to the presence
of colored people on the most familiar

those same people become at once too
offensive to be permitted to breathe
the same atmosphere. The situation
in Washington would be restored in a
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 de.

that there can be only

SPECIFIC DENIAL OF
iNsOLENCE TO PRESIDENT.
Interview in Boston Globe of Nov. II,
1914,

William Monroe Trotter, whose re.
marks on segregation in Government
departments stirred President Wilson
at hearing in the White House last
Thursday, arrived in Boston yesterday
afternoon, and, after denying any
thing offensive either in his speech or
manner, told of the way in which the
report of the hearing was given to the
newspapermen.
"As we left the President" said Mr..
Trotter, u told him I was very sorry
If he still considered that I had Of
Tended him.. The President smiled
and said: 20, we'll call it all right
when we came out our delegation
>caucused in Sec. Tumulty's room as
to what we should say for the news
papers. l told the newspaper men
briefly about the conference, merely
describing it as warm affair.
Il had gone outside the White
House when Mr. Tumulty called me
back and said: 'Trotter, you have vio-
lated every courtesy of the White
House in quoting the President to the
press
II told Mr.. Tumulty that had done
so In ignorance of the rules, and apol-
ogized. He accepted my apology.
Then I asked the newspaper not to
publish what I told them, and they
consented. Mr.. Tumulty said he was
satisfied and I left.
White House Statement Issued.
"The report of the conference was
then given out from the White House.
1t seems very peculiar to me, after
the President had told me everything
was all right, that White House
statement should say that l had Of
Tended the President of the United
States"
Did Not Lose Temper or catechize.
II want to say" he continued, that
neither in manner, language, tone nor
in any other way was l discourteous,
impairment or insolent to President
Wilson.
my whole attitude was that of en-
deavoring, on the spur of the moment,
to answer piece of masterful sophis-
try and to refute it successfully and
feeling a great responsibility to do so,
l spoke with positiveness, deliberate
ness and directness, looking the Pres.
ident full in the eye.
II did not quiz or catechize the
President, and l did not attempt to
debate with him. The difficulty did
not come until the President had been
permitted to declare for segregation
of my race and to say that I should
regard it as a benevolence and so rep.
resent it to my race.
Although it was a trying ordeal
to listen,te such statement at length
