FELLOW CITIZENS
The work of our next legislature is
expected to be of supreme Importance,
to Northern Minnesota particularly.
Alths I believe my three and a half
years service with the Attorney Gen.
eral, just prior to coming here in 1907
may be of some value, my friends and
neighbors will have to speak as to my
fitness for the position now sought.
If elected, 1 shall endeavor to repre-
sent the entire district impartially.
Our greatest need is roads, more
roads. All road money collected in
this district should be spent in our
immediate vicinity. We can then re-
duce the taxes and still have larger
funds than at present. What do we
care for Floodwood? Let them pay
their own road bills, just as we and all
parts of the state now do. Laws will
regulate this.
Equally important is the need Of
finding some way in which worthy
and industrious settlers can borrow
on their lands the few hundred dollars
needed to improve their homes. If
some such lending agency can be de-
vised, prosperous self-supporting farm
homes will increase at marvellous
rate. Dozens of sturdy pioneers can
now borrow nothing, although the
security is excellent.
Having made no pledges, shall be
glad to receive suggestions on any
matter that may come up, so that. if
elected, 1 may, insofar as pos
sible, really represent you and each of
you. believe in progress, rapid pro-
gress. and shall favor better condi-
tions for the wage-earner, the farmer
and the shop-keeper.

THE SEGREGATION ISSUE

(From Pittsburg Dispatch)
The misplaced zeal of the spokes-
man of the delegation that called
on the President to protest
against the jim Grow tactics in the
Treasury and Postal departments
in an unfortunate result of the in
PRODUCTION of that policy. The
fact that private spokesman per-
mitted himself to use some ILL
guarded expressions is not SO vital
as that high representative Of the
Government have introduced a
regulation solely to serve a small
and contemplate prejudice.
The President, according to the
report, explained to the committee,
that she had been informed by
officials that the segregation had
been started to avoid friction be
tween the races, and not with the
object of inJuring the Negroes :"
But he absolutely failed to show
why this dreaded friction arose on
ly from the time that Southern
men got chance of the depart
ments. For nearly half century,
white clerks and colored clerks
worked side by side in the depart
ments under both Republican and
Democratic Presidents The faith
er Of the spokesman whose protest
aroused the Presidential feproof
was an appointee of Clevelands'
How could this friction be absent
for 45 years and crop up SO threat

Jim Grow places in white theaters
would be cut out, for the reason
they would have no business. For
the. reason a white man has the
intelligence and keenness of fore.
sight not to operate business
that does not pay.
If the Negro preacher would
teach his congregation from his
pulpit each Sunday and the orator
from the platform, not to read a
white paper that endorses lynch
ipgs, that endorses outrages against
the race, that perpetuated and cir.
culated indignities and wrongs up
on our manhood and womanhood,
it wouldn't be long before the white
papers would cut out that policy,
for the reason every white paper
in the South is largely read by Ne
gro constituents, and their adver-
tising rates are based upon circu-
lation.
The jew will not read a rapel
that is hostile to Jews. The Ger
man cuts out every paper that an
tagonizes and fights his rationale
ties. The Jap resents with all of
his soul, with all of his might, ev-
cry wrong done him because of his
race, his color or his condition.
There is nobody a coward but
the Negro; there is no race so di-
vided against itself and is such a
consumate band of bootlicks, cow
ards and sycophants as plabk ed
ucated leaders. What we need
most is manly leadership-one

COMMENT ON SEGREGATION AS PRACTICED UNDER
THE WILSON DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION

would have had quite as much
right to do so as Mr.. McAdoo had
to segregate the Negro employees
of the Treasury in Washington.
While the Democrats of the
country have been trying to solve
certain great problems of govern
ment, a few southern members of
the Cabinet have been allowed to
exploit their petty local prejudice
at the expense of the party s repu-
tation for exact justice.
Whether the President thinks
so or not, the segregation rule was
promulgated as a deliberate dis
elimination against Negro en-
ployes.
Worse still, it is a small, mean,
petty discrimination, and Mr.. Will
son ought to have set his heel
upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow
government the moment it was
established He ought to set his
heel upon it now. 1t is reproach
to his administration and to the
great political principles which he
repreSents.-Ne York World
The Colorado statesman., 1914-11-21

There is an equal -sidedness
in the declaration of the President
that he would permit no political
threats" because the speaker had
referred TO the effect of such acton
on the Negro votes. The political
question was introduced when the
departments were permitted to re-
vive this color prejudice. 1t was
also introduced more than two
years before that when Mr.. Wilson
then candidate for President, de.
clared: "Should l become Presi-
dent of the United States, they
(the colored people, may count up
on me for absolute fair dealing
and for everything by which |
could assist in advancing the in
terest of the race in the United
States" Many colored men we're
led by such declarations to give
him their support When it is
found that this pledge does not
prevent him from serving a sheer
prejudice against the coloreG peo-
pie, the political effect of it is a
necessary one
We do not believe that Presi-
dent Wilson shares the silly preju-
dice which holds that it is imposs-
ible for white man and colored
man to be the same room, unless
the colored man is serving the
white man. But that makes it all
the more unjustifable that he
should serve the prejudice with a
plea of friction that has been
distinctly absent in 45 years, ex-
perience at Washington.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-11-21

Board, and finally a large petition
signed by Negroes was received.
1t needed no persuasion to con-
vince Mr.. Dyer of the justice of
the complaint and he promised
that the song should be elimi-
mated. Accordingly, a notice was
sent from the School Boar1 direct
ing principals "to paste piece OF
plain white paper over this page
or cut out the leaf" 1t further
suggested that, if other songs in
this or other books in use in the
schools give offense to the people
of the community, they should not
be used The circular concludes:
The music Of our schools it in
tended to promote harmony and
not discord. Thrre is sufficient
{ ood music accessible to meet all
needs without using any that is of.
fensive to any portion of our peo-
ple."

Washington, d. c., Nov. IL
In response to an invitation ex-
tended by Giles B. jackson of
Richmond and Judson w. Lyons
of Augusta, GA, former register
of the treasury, and a number of
others, President Wilson has prom
ised to speak at the exposition to
be held in Richmond next year
commemorating the fiftieth ami
versary of the emancipation of the
Negro.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-11-21

No President ever suffered more
from the foolish indiscretions of
members of his Cabinet than has
Mr.. Wilson. He had further IL
lustration of it recently in his
unfortunate interview with dele
CATION of Negroes who called at
the White House to protest
against the segregation OF races IN
government departments.
The bad manners of the chair
man of the delegation, however
deplorable, are no justification OF
the policy of Jim-Crow govern
ment which certain members of
the Cabinet have established in
their departments; and, as the
President well knows, insolent
conduct is not confined to the
members of any particular race.
The President should have fore
seen this unfortunate issue when
Mr.. McAdoo and Mr.. Burleson
were carrying their color-line
theories into democratic govern
ment. Mr.. Wilson told the COM
mittee that there had been no dis
elimination in the comforts and
surroundings of the Negro clerks,
but explained that che had been
informed by officials that the seq
regation had been started to avoid
friction between the races, and
not with the object of injuring the
Negroes. The President failed
to explain, nevertheless, why no
such rule had been considered
necessary until Mr.. Burleson and
Mr.. McAdoo got into the Cabinet.
For nearly half a century white
clerks and Negro clerks have
worked side by side in the depart
ments of Washington under Re-
publican and under Democratic
Presidents. The World keeps it
self fairly well informed about
Washington affairs, but the first
it ever heard of this alleged fric-
tion to which Mr.. Wilson refers
was when Mr.. McAdoo began his
Jim-Crow proceedings in the
Treasury Department.
The President thinks that this
is not political question, but he
is wrong. Anything that is un-
lust. discriminating and un-Amer-
lean in government is certain to
be a political question. Servants
of the United States government
are servants of the United States
government, regardless of race or
color. For several years Negro
