A writer in Leslie's Weekly fur
nishes food for thought In discussing
tho amenities Of travelling, as follows:
with the knowledge Of travelling con-
ditions abroad and at home. and after
having seen America pretty thorough
y, must acknowledge that the dining
car service, the sleepers and facilities
generally on our trains and steamers
are ahead Of those Of any other coun-
try. But It is true that the employees
Of our railroads are not as polite as
they are abroad, excepting perhaps the
porters, who do not regard their serv-
Ice a. beneath them and are therefore
willing to do their best to make every
passenger comfortable. OF course they
receive tips, but conductors would not
accept them. One never found q con-
ductsr ON a foreign train who was
above accepting a gratuity. On the
other hand, too frequently the traveller
u apt to be discourteous when hurried
or worried and often complains with
little cause and is inappreciative Of
many small attentions. A pleasant
Thank YOU and a genial smile can
b a. readily appreciated by the rail-
road Or steamship attendant as BY the

The late Henry James was American
born, but lived abroad the great part
Of his threescore and odd years. he
wrote Of America, as a rule, and his
"Daisy Miller" led to popularization
here Of his name. which otherwise
must have stood for peculiarly In lit
erature. James Daisy Miller was not
a genuine type, but was at least hu-
man creation. The tale appeared soon
after the Centennial exhibition In Phil
adelphia. where ON a large scale Amer.
lean manners and ideals were pitted
against those Of Europeans visiting the
show and incidentally the country. 1t
furnished wholesome food for reflec.
ton. and no doubt many Of the newly
and extravagantly rich American girls
modified their department In the face
Of that cutting satire upon presump-
ton. But the satire reacted. because
the girl was SO lovable in herself that
the onus fell upon the parents respon
sible for her unsophistication and help

COLOR SEGREGATION.
MINNEAPOLIS Daily News.)

This is the substance of the st.
Louis ordinance requiring segrega-
ton of whites and blacks:
Requires that blocks that are not
entirely cor part white and black"
shall remain so and no person of the
other race shall move in. Also,
where both races reside and one race
has more than IS per cent majority,
the block shall be designated accord
ing to that majority and the other
races are prohibited from moving in
into the block. This ordinance can
not be repealed by the alderman un'
til after a year and then only by a
two-thirds majority of the board. In
effect, St. Louis is trying out the
plan for a year.
The Negroes of St. Louis are up in
arms and furiously contesting the
ordinance.
The St. Louis ordinance does not
segregate the blacks any more than
it does the whites. 1t imposes no ter
ritorial restrictions upon them. They
may reside in any portion of the city
where they are at present located in
numbers and the inference is that such
localities are those in which they
have elected and would elect to re.
eide. Quite likely the ordinance will
prove to their advantage in the Ions
run. n -lS y
Only in cities where the Negro
population is equal, or almost equa'
to the white population can the
problem of social segregation be com.
pretended. 1t is big question. Dali
las has a segregation fight on ant
others are looming up in Baltimore
and Louisville. Both races should
welcome a solution of the problem
which does not unduly humilitate
either.

The bureau Of foreign and domestic

Every output Of definite information
from the interior of Mexico leaves
much to be desired. In fact. the sit.
uation there is shrouded in mystery,
and If the people rule on this Mexican
proposition as it affects the United

absence Of definite news from a neigh

that American journalism has lost its

SEGREGATION IN ST. LOUIS.
(The New York News.)

Northward the star of race hatred
slowly wends its way. St. Louis now
places a premium upon the progress
of colored people by Jim Growing
them in their homes. Russia is relent-
ing and releasing and repenting its
segregation of the Jews. America is
exulting and tightening in its chains
of colorphobia. The city of St. Louis
will now systematically neglect the
sanitation and the progress of its
black home districts. Their schools
will be overlooked Their policing
will be sporadic and covering. St.
Louis thinks it is wise economy she
is putting over" at the expense of
her progressive home purchasing
colored citizens. But contagious dis
ease and death follow faulty sewerage
and sanitation. Contagious disease
and death draw no color line. An
illiterate, unframed generation follows
poor schooling, just as ignorance
curses a nation. Vice and crime
awake when policemen and justice
sleep. Trouble will follow in the
wake of Jim Crowed black St. Louis.
In the days to come St. Louis even
as Warsaw may repent her race bait
ing. Yet the colored men of St. Louis
will be less than men if they tolerate
this new Jim Crow order. We urge
them to take the matter to the high
est court of the land. You will find
not only all your race, but legions

PEARL FISHING is
A GERMAN INDUSTRY

BERLIN, Feb. lit is not gen.
orally known but Germany has "A
not inconsiderable pearl industry,
and in the last 100 years many
thousands of the gems nave been
fished up out of the waters of the
various German rivers.
Bavaria has been the most pro
ductive of the empire. A total OF
155,SOO pearls, it is estimated, were
found there between 1914 and 1887
and the annual aggregate has only
decreased as the waters of Baval"
ian rivers have been spoiled by varl-
Gus industrial projects.
The most productive river a al
WAYS been the Elster in Saxony,
which for centuries has been rented
to one family by the state.
About 500 pearls OF value nave
been taken from the Elster by the
,amily in question in the last de-
cade, the summer of 1915 being
the most productive, with AZ good
examples.
