Every once in a while you will hear
some lecturer extol the methods of for
eign governments in making their gov
ernments an aid to the people, the in
ference being that we Americans are
woefully behind the times. This refer
ence is, OF course, purely economic. You
pay the lecturer a dollar or so to hand
out lot of dope on agriculture and do
mestic science. and wonder where in tar
nation all the expense of the United
States goes to. As a matter of fact, there
are few nations so well equipped as is
the United States to aid her people in an
economic way. Uncle Sam has in his
Department Of Agriculture instructions
based on experience for the big farmer
and for the little farmer. He has aids
for the country housewife and for the
city house manager. There is in bulletin
form help for every one who has to do
with the raising, preparation and serv-
ing of food. Widespread use Of the things
Uncle Sam has to offer would aid great
ly IN the solution of the problem created
by Mr.. Hi C. O'Livin. Some time we
may get the people to know that simply
to have governmental agency Is not
the only thing necessary We must make
use Of that agency for . proit.-Dayton

EACH DAY o. THE YEAR.

First printing Of an original poem, written daily
for Tue Washington Herald.
BY John Kendrick Bangs.
THE Overwhelmed.
Hi there, my friend! Just pause awhile,
Sit down and for a moment smile.
Why try to carry all the wrack
OF this whole world upon your back?
There're others right beside you here
With shoulders broad and purpose clear
Who're ready to take up their share
OF our great Universe of care
And what they cannot carry leave
To other shoulders to retrieve
And-hist!-those Souls have furthest
trod
who've left SOME part of it to God.

SEGREGATION STILL
RAMPANT AT THE Ma
TIONAL CAPITAL

Washington, Oct. IL. -Segre-
cation still exists in several of
the departments here. The Sc
gregation orders issued recently
have not been revoked. If any
thing the situation is more hui
initiating than many believe.
Most of the men are quartered in
very small rooms which are a
menance to the health, and
greatly hinders them in their eff
forts for efficiency.
Your correspondent finds that
segregation exists in the office of
the auditor for the postoffice de-
partment, otherwise known as
Sixth Auditors Office. And the
rooms in which all colored en-
ployees are located are as follows:
In room numbered 720 there
are usually four colored men en-
ployed in work conducted in this
room.
In room TAP there are five col
ored men.
In room 725 there are nine col
ored men.
In room 729 there are nine COL
ored men.
In room 828 there are six color
ed girls, all huddled in one little
room, scarcely large enough for
three people to work in.
On the sixth floor the only two
clerks in this division are places
in an alcove corner and the door
is locked that leads directly to the
room they are employed in.
There is but one toilet allotted
to the colored employees, and
while they are compelled to use
this, the white clerks frequent
this lavatory at their pleasure,
the colored clerks are prohibited
from using any but this toilet as
set out for their use, several
clerks have been reported for
attempting to go in those set
aside or apart for the whites.
The colored employees are COM
PEELED to lose quite a deal of time
from their employment by hav-
ing or being compelled to go on
the eighth floor.

When the men donned overalls
to start work and saw Freeman
also ready for business they OBJ
jected to working with Negro.
Mr.. Engle, however, had become
convinced of Freeman's skill, and
when he was assured by the col
ored man that other colored
workmen of equal skill could be
secured the objecting whites
were informed that they work
with Freeman or go. They went.
And so it is that the artistic

fit and proper person for election to
the position of Supreme Court Judge,

with mercy. Some of Judge Aliens

tious not to do injustice to litigants

aroes should not be permitted to
own and occupy property in the
same neighborhoods with white
people,"
Segregation, the most recent and
probably the most menacing, of the
practices calculated to hold the prog
ress of the Negro race in check, the
practice that restrict the property
rights of the colored people, has not
only the moral support of the Demo
cratic candidate for President but he
has placed it into actual operation in
the governmental departments, where
in administration of free institutions
is pledged. No President has ever
engaged in any practice SO small for
the head of a nation of people and so
disastrous to the advancement of the
colored Americans.
When a number of colored men who
had supported Wilson for the Presi-
dency called upon him to protest
against segregation, he flew into a
rage and declared that segregation
was not a political question" to which
the New York World, the paper that
has been his official advocate upon all
/ other matters, interposed the rebuke:
"Anything that is unjust, dis
eliminating and un-American in
government is certain to be po-
liticaI question. Servants of the
United States Government are
servants of the United States
government regardless of race or
color"
The colored people are naturally
Republicans but it behooves them in
this campaign as active, hard-working
Republicans to end that segregation,
disfranchisement and peonage may be
robbed of the prestige which the DEM
ocratic President has accorded them
Their old enemy is the Democratic
party. Everything that has been done
against them has been done by Demo
Gratis and everything that has been
done for them has been done by the
Republicans. When Frederick Doug
lass made his famous declaration
twenty-five years ago that "the Re-
publican party is the ship; all else is
the sea-" he propounded a prophecy
that time and President Wilson have
proven SO thoroughly that there is no
room for doubt.
The only way for the colored voters
to stop these contemplate reprisals
against the race is to vote for Hughes
and Fairbanks, who are not only
friends to the colored people as indi-
viduals but are the standard-bearers
of the Republican party. from which
has come all the Negro has secured
in political and civil rights.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-10-21

What the Negroes living in the bor-
der states, and even those who i've at
the north, have most to fear is
Democratic administration directed
by man of southern birth, and one
So Injured to southern racial preju-
dice as woodrow Wilson. This is not
so much prophecy as it is a concrete
fact, proven by years of Democratic
reprisals against the constitutional
rights of the colored citizens. Placing
a ban upon the progress of the Negro
race is the only policy to which the
Wilson administration has consist
emily adhered and the only one that
has been successful. The President
has succeeded in undoing in three
years what the Republican party has
the advancement and recognition of
the colored citizens.
In this short time he has removed
from the public service every Negro
holding position of trust and respon-
sibility.
He has segregated the colored civil
service employees in the departments
at Washington, accomplishing this
discrimination at great expense to the
government and to the detriment of
the service:
He celebrated his entrance to the
White House by closing the door OF
opportunity to the Negro.
BY word and deed he has lent en-
couragement to the enemies of the
race and fostered a racial prejudice
greater than has ever been known in
this country.
Slavery, peonage, disfranchisement
and segregation are the four greatest
crimes that have been visited upon
the Negro in this country. Two of
these were actually evolved by the
Democratic party, and at some time in
it's history that party has consistently
defended each of them.
Disfranchisement and segree alton
are purely Democratic institutions.
but it was left to Woodrow Wilson to
be the first President of the United
States to stamp them with his official
approval
He has submitted himself absolute
Iy to the vicious southern Negro-bait-
ers, such as Tillman, Vardaman, Hef-
lin and Hardwick, and his policy to-
ward the Negro has been tinctured
and controlled by their inherent
hatred
Encouraged by the approval of the
Wilson administration segregation has
been seriously considered in north
ern cities and has been placed into
operation in many border municipali
ties. In the city of Baltimore. where
this unjust measure has been under
taken in the residential districts the
President of the United States is cit
ed as an authority for the necessity OF
removing the ,colored people from
white neighborhoods. An article ap
pearing in Baltimore paper advocat-
ing the ordinance read:
"since the President Of the
United States has recognized
