WASHINGTON, D. c !. Nov. II
The delegation of the National In

the White House with President

Southern born, against color segre-
CATION Of government employees.
1t was rendered sensational by the
endeavor of delegate sWm. Munroe
Trotter to reply to and retute the
elaborate defense Of such segrega
tion by the President. which Presi-
dent Wilson tried to stop by takii-g
ofense, based solely on the tone
and "eVident passion" of Trotter's
voice. Mr.. Trotter told the Presi-
dent he misinterpreted his earnest
ness and was urged not TO charge
passion. He continued his reply
for some time, however, and the
President finally said everything
was all right. Nevertheless the

PAST. PRESENT AND FUTURE IN MUSIC
I AMSTERDAM NEWS

1t is not SO many years ago that
colored people, when holding baiis'
etc, were forced to hire white
musicians, or, at best, a mixture OF
the two, with a white man leading
But time, ambition and able organ
ization have changed these things.
To day white people are much IN
the same position that we were IN
a few years ago. The white-light
districts simply clamor for colored
manipuIators of the rag-t time muse.
The colored musician is in favor.
His fame has spread apace.
Doubtless the colored race always
was in possession of the ability to
charm with the rag-timc muse.
Rag time first emanated from the
slave huts of the Southland. 1t
required ambition and organization
to place his claim before the public.
Among the foremost organizations
this need created are the Clet club,
the New Amsterdam Musical asso-
ciation, the Excelsior military band
and the Tempo club. The Elef
club, owning It's home on Fifty
third street. has done more for the
promulgation of colored musical
ideas and the popularity of the
oclored musician than any other
organization. 1t is pot only the
foremost organization OF its kind in
the State, but it is drawing card
the country over. as is annual
tours have fully demonstrated.
Taking the things accomplished
as an earnest of the things to come
there is Indeed a bright future in
the musical world for the colored
race. 1t would not be amiss, how
ever, to remember that those things
that meant success in the past will
be even more necessary for future
advance. Those things we believe
are talent, hard work Cor are these
two one and the same?), ambition,
organization aud perseverance.

What Has Europe Done for the Negro ?

In its issue of November 7, the
Chicago Defender prints the follow
ing thoughtful editorial, which is
worthy of careful perusal:
The secretary of the equal rights
society, in discussing Europe aud
what it has done for the colored
man, forgot to mention that she
gave the colored man equal rights
if they were or were not citlZens,
while America does not He forgot
to say that America has given the
Negro bastards and made him crave
for them. while Europe legalizes
his children born of white mothers
or fathers or mixed marriages
Europe has administered the law
of their land to him just as she has
done to her white subjects. What
has America done ? Europe has
taught lis subjects to love all shades
and colurs of people, which lets the
Negro in What has America donef
Taught the Negro to love white to
such degree that in some sections
of America it is crime for black
woman to bear a black child.
Europe has honored the black
woman and has honored her Off
spring, both from the mixed, as
Dumas. and from the black, as
Peter Jackson. Europe has and is
still giving us black generals iu her
armies and commissioned officers in
her navy. Would to God America
would get her eyes open at least.
