ertheless, Wilson reversed himself In
order to give it in the same way his
endorsement.
Both as to waterpowers on navigabie
streams and on public lands, the last
reversals leave the Administration
standing with the special interests
against the people.
The Phelan oil land measure, would
hand over to private individuals VINO
have no legal rights the valuable oil
lands set, aside as reserves for the
Navy. The Navy Department has
made public announcement that the
mere threat of the Phelan bills pass
age has caused it "to seriously con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of abandoning"
the policy of constructing oil burning
ships. Only oil burning ships can de-
velop and maintain the high speeds re-
auired in modern war, and without
them no Navy can be even second
class. The Secretary of the Interior
actively supported this surrender OF
National safety to private greed. The
Secretary of the Navy and the Attor-
ney General opposed it. Wilson re-
manned neutral and did nothing.
Because Wilson refused to take sides,
or took the wrong side, the question
whether the people or the interests
shall win or lose in the Shields and
Myers waterpower bills and the Phelan
oil bill is still unsettled. These bills
are still before Congress, and will pass
or fail at the coming session. The pub
lie waterpowers and the efficiency of
the Navy are at stake. There can be
no compromise between the men who
could grab the public resources for
private profit, and those who would
conserve them for the use of all the
people. Either the interests will get
them or the people will keep them
There is no middle ground.
To sum up, as in many other mat
tiers the promise made was not per
formed. Instead of progress in con
serving our resources, the last two
wears we have seen a bitter and often a
losing fight to hold what we had. Will
son talked well, began to act well, and
then, yielding to the political pressure
of the special interests, went back Oh
Conservation.

Ny Dear julius:
The famous Eighth, (12th Division)
is now camped in Camp Mabry, Austin,
Texas, having arrived here yesterday
noon. The boys stepped ITO miles
without the loss of a man and the Off
GERS were in the saddle 7 days. We
arrived in Austin in fine shape and as
fresh as daisies. The boys were
whistling and singing when they
marched into camp and the people
along the line of march in the city of
Austin cheered them for the first time
in the history of this great southern
city, because it is entirely out of the
question down here to cheer the Col
ored brother for anything and at any
time. We made a great record on the

CoLoRED DEMOCRATS CRITICIZE
WILSON.
Meet at Buffalo and Condemn Segre-
cation and Failure to Appoint Ne
groes to Office.

Buffalo, n. Y-The anti-Negro pol
icy of President Wilson and the Dem
ocratic Administration at Washington
was strongly denounced at a meeting
of Colored Democrats held here last
week. Resolutions were passed con-
demning the segregation of Negroes
in Governmental departments and the
failure of President Wilson to appoint
competent Colored men to prominent
positions.
Although the meeting was well at
tended, representatives being present
from the various sections of the State,
there was no enthusiasm. Everybody
admitted that President Wilson's I'M
friendly attitude toward the Negro
had not made him supporters among
the Colored voters of the country
Despite the diseouraging prospects

The speakers openly confessed thai
prospects for a Democratic victory were
net as bright as four years ago, AND
that hundreds Of Colored voters who
were enthusiastic Wilson men in 1915
are today opposed to his election.
