WILSON'S rs LUCK STILL WITH
,Ss& ~ Z, tSsr4a} J5 HIM. -

It was quite generally believed that
Congress would pass the Immigration
Bill over the Presidents veto, but
his veto was sustained last Thursday
in the House of Representatives by
the narrow margin of votes. AS it
requires a two-thirds vote in each
House to override a veto, no attempt
will be made in the Senate to carry
the bin over the veto. The action
of the House killed the measure, I'M
til the next session of Congress when
it will undoubtedly come up again.
Roosevelt and Taft each vetoed sim
liar bills during their presidential
terms.

Il. Seven United States Senators, who

DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS
HEAD?

(From the Philadelphia Press.)
It 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. M. Trotter, of Boston,
as chairman of a delegation of Col
ored men undertook to show him that
Colored employees were unfairly dis
permitted to declare for segregation
not come until the President had been
some of the executive departments.
There is nothing in Mr.. Trotters
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
principle because it is disagreeable and
unfair to one class of public employees

THE COLOR LINE VEXES THE
PRESIDENT.
(From New York Eveninu Mail.

lFrom New York Evening Mail.)
1t is hard to discover, in the rather
fully published reports, any sufficient
reason for 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 Crow" 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.
That 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
ident's i'll temper is quite true, but it
was supplied by the Cabinet members
who 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 80 on the ground
that he could not submit to cross
examination"
When a 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.

THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGA.
TON,

(From The indianapolis News.1
The government which makes laws
for all. collects taxes from all, and
summons all alike to it's defense in
time Of war, cannot rightfuly make
such distinctions. When men and
women enter the public service they
ought to be ready to conform to that
principle. No one is compelled to
enter it, but having made his choice
he should comply with the conditions
of his employment.
So the question is not wholly
economic, as Mr.. Wilson seemed to
think it vast is political as well.
not in the narrow partisan, but in the
broad sense. The people of the United
States as whole would oppose the
adoption by their government of any
thing resembling the Jim Crow policy.

ABILITY CAUSES RACE HATRED.
A novel explanation of the Russian
dislike for the Jew has been given by
Count Alexander Scherbatskoy, coun-
cillor Of the Russian embassy in Wash
ington.
The count said that Russians object
ed to Jews because they were more
capable than the Russians and not be-
cause they were of different race and
faith.
There is not much difference be-
tween the Jewish question in Russia
and the Japanese question in Califor-
nia," he declared "The Californians
know the Japs are more clever than
they are. The Russians know that
they can not compete with the Jews.
Their fear of the Jews is based on eco
nomic considerations"

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

William Monroe Trotter, whose re-
marks on segregation in Cove nment
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.

Trotter, 81 told him I was very sorry
if he still considered that I had Of

and said: %, wen call it all right

to what we should say for the news

briefly about the conference, merely
describing it as a warm affair.

House when Mr.. Tumulty called me
back and said: 'Trotter, you have VIC

House in quoting the President to the

Then I asked the newspaper not to

consented. Mr. Tumulty said he was
satisfied and left.

in any other way was l discOurteous,

SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1915.
THE NEW YEAR.

The year 1914 just closed has un-
doubtedly been the most momentous
of modern times. 1t brought both veal
and woe, just as other years have
done, only each was more voluminous
than heretofore. The biggest and
most deplorable thing is the existing
unchristian, inhuman war that is up
setting the entire world and costing
billions of money and millions of lives
and incomprehensible suffering. 1t is
hoped that the United States will not
be brought into it, though at times 1t
seems that that is possible if not
probable.
AS general rule throughout the
country it has been a prosperous year
and a majority of the people made
more money than usual. The high
cost of living" however, has about
evened up things so that there is not
much to brag Of
A large number of noted people have
passed to the great beyond" during
the year and some who will eventually
be quite as noted made their advent
into this fast, fast world.
A New Year, 1915, has dawned,
fraught with promise of both good and
bad; and, since life is what we make
it, let each one of us endeavor to do
the best he can as God gives him wis
dom to make this year the best ever.
And when it ends, as each year does,
may we, each one of us; have the sat
isfaction of feeling and believing that
it has been made better, in some
measure, because we have lived in it.
We wish all Happy Prosperous
New Year!

Honored Sir:
Unavoidable circumstances make it
impracticable for me to join the dele
cation as field secretary of the con-
stitution league of the United States
who are to present memorial to
you on Thursday, the 18th inst, in
voking your Intervention against the
segregation of government employees
at Washington or elsewhere on the
ground of race or color. I respect
fully submit that such segregation vi
olates the spirit and letter of the Con-
stitution of the United States, forces
hardships and degradations of Col
ored employees, undermines civiliza.
ton, is subversive of American in
stitutions, contravenes every prin-
ciple of righteousness and justice and
is shameful reproach to our Chris
ton religion. Segregation represents
not the ideals of freedom but the
ideals of slavery. We pray that you
as the Christian President of this free
and Christian nation will use your
great powers, which q" n
amply sufficient to remove this foul
blot from our civilization.
