AN EXAMPLE FOR "HYpHENs"


n S an example of the devotion to
"A America that characterized the
"hyphenated citizens" of the
earlier days one need go no further
than Robert Morris. whose birthday
we celebrate to-day. Norris was born
in Liverpool. England, on Januury 81,
1874. He came to America at the age
of thirteen and entered the employ of
Charles Willing, a merchant of Phila-
delphia. Nine years later he formed a
with Thomas Willing which
lasted. till 1898. or nearly fifty years
He became one of the richest men in
America at that time. Although he
was at first opposed to the Decla-
ration of Independence, he finally
signed it and was a hard worker for
the Colonies. He was the founder of
the Bank of North America and sub
scribed himself for $4,000 worth of
stock. He was member of the Penn
sylvania Assembly from 1876 to 1887
with a short intermission; also of the
convention that framed the United
States Constitution. He represented
Pennsylvania in the United States Sem
ate from 1889 to 1895, but declined
the secretaryship of the treasury. Dis
tinguished services and unselfish pa
triotism marked his every step in pub
lie life. He risked his all in the War
of the Revolution when the cause of
freedom seemed almost hopeless. He
should be standing example for the
host of our foreign-born citizens of
to-day. He might with fair excuse
have been a Tory. Instead he chose
the right and won for himself a niche
in the hall of American patriotism.

CONQUERING MOTOR
IFrom dc Chicago Journal.

II IOiil NiS CIiNdSO
1t takes at least five years to breed
and raise a first-class work horse. 1t
takes-well, a good deal less time-to
make a motor truck or tractor that
will do the work of many horses This
is one of several reasons why there is
going to be a big increase of motor
transportation. motor trucking and
tractor farming within the next few
years.
OF course, there are plenty of other
reasons. The war has killed off vast
numbers of horses while multiplying
the manufacture of motors. When the
struggle ends governments will have
vast numbers of trucks and tractors to
sell at clearing-out prices and fac
tories will be ready to cater to private
customers. But these factors, after all,
merely hasten a development that was
written in the book of fate.
The world is outgrowing the draft
horse. and no true lover of the horse
can be sorry. The artist may regret
the passing of the great docile, beauti-
full creatures; but the thoughtful man
remembers the ice of winter and the
heats of summer; hard pavements, cal
lous drivers and heavy leads; and re-
joices that these burdens are to be
taken over by unfeeling machinery.

B. T. WESTINGHOUSE VIEWS

In the February number of The Crisis
is printed Booker Washingtons views
on segregation of the negro. In an
article written for the New Republic
and published after his death, he said:
segregation is ill-advised because
81. 1t is unjust.
"2. 1t invites other unjust measures.
"3. 1t will not be productive of good,
because practically every thoughtful
negro resents it's injustice and doubts
it's sincerity. Any race adjustment
based on injustice finally defeats itself.
The Civil War is the best Illustration
of what results where 1t is attempted
TO make wrong right or seem to be
right.
"a 1t is unnecessary.
"5. 1t is inconsistent. The negro is
segregated from his white neighbor,
but white business men are not pre-
vented from doing business in negro
neighborhoods.
"6. There has been no case of segre-
cation of negroes in the United States
that has not widened the breach be-
tween the two races. Wherever a form
of segregation exists II will be found
that 1t has been administered In such
way as to embitter the negro and
harm more or less the moral fiber of
the white man. That the negro does
not express this constant sense of
wrong is no proof that lie does not feel

Kansas City Times exudes this
interesting philosophy. which is
to say the least, very readable:
Sometimes we wonder how peo-
pie living in various countries of
Europe can get on with their kings
and other relics. But they seem
not only to get on with them, but
even to like them. Curious how
people bring themselves to like
things that are in themselves
rather disagreeable.
We are all inclined that way.
Badly kept streets wouldn't seem
to be particularly appealing. But
some American cities seem to like
them. No-gas service would strike
an outside observer as not wholly
joyous. But we joke about 1t and
make no fuss. We put up with all

But as we don't insist on their be-
ing remedied, probably the truth
is that we like them.
Anyhow, the American as we'll as
the European public seems to have
great capacities in that direction.

OF course, they think we like 1t
