The following Special Dispatch from
Washington appeared in the New York
Evening Post of August l.
Washington, August /. Negroes of
the nation carried to the White House
today their protest against the atroci-
Gus attacks made upon them at East
ST. Louis and other industrial centers
recently. They appealed to President
Wilson through Secretary Tumulty to
speak Some public word that would
give hope and courage to the Negroes
of the United States.
Mr.. Tumulty listened to the reading
of a petition and promised the delega-
ton. which was headed by James Wei
don Johnson, secretary of the National
Association of the Advancement of
ColOred People that the matter would
not be neglected. He told his cal
lers also that the President has been
in consultation with department Off
Gals concerning better protection for
the Negro citizens of the country. The
delegation requested a personal inter
view with the President, which request
Mr. Tumulty said he would place be

MR.. JOHNSON'S REMARKS.
The remarks Of Mr.. Johnson in ad-
dressing Secretary Tumulty were as
follows:
I'VE, the Committee Of the Negro
Silent Protest Parade, in which $4,000
colored men, women and children took
part last Saturday in New York, come
to present to you and through you to
the President and Congress a petition
for redress of certain grievances. We
come representing not only the Negro
| Silent Protest Parade, but the COlOred
people of Greater New York, and the
sentiments and aspirations and sor
rows, too, of the entire Negro popula
ton of the United States.
I'VE come representing twelve mil
| lion citizens whose devotion and loyal
ty to the nation have never been ques
tioned-twelve million citizens who
when the present storm broke over ou
land, took their unqualified stand sid
by side with the original American
stocks that landed at Plymouth Rocl
and at jamestown.
1--WE feel that in coming to you, w
are well within our rights-the RICH
given by birth, the right given by labor
and the right given by loyalty. We fee
further, that it is especially fitting tina
we come at this time when the hear
of the nation is so deeply touched b!
the cause of democracy and of humani
ty.
I'VE come asking that the Presiden
use his great powers to have granted t.
us some redress for the grievances Sc

This has been a strenuous week in
The Record Office. No electric current
since Monday evening until this Fri
day. afternoon. The old noisy, balky,
whimsical gasoline engine is a poor
substitute at best for electricity, and
for the past day or two we have been
waging persistent fight, backed by
some of the local gas engine doctors,
to keep it going. At best the issue
will be a few hours late, and whether
we get out at all or not will depend
upon the light plant, as the big news
press is one piece of machinery that
we cannot run without the current.

remarked, "as it involves conditions

SOUTHERN SEcTIONlLSM.

During the consideration Of the
food control bill in the senate in the
last week of the recent session, Sena-
tor Porter j. McCumber of North Da-
kota, charged that it was largely a
sectional measure, it's benefits being
confined almost wholly to two South
ern states. I'm fact" said he, "the
attention of the public has always been
turned toward the southern section Of
the United States, because it has been
so long in the habit of crying when
hurt" Mr.. McCumber asserted that
it was ten times as necessary to pro-
tect the farmers of the Red river val
ley in his own State from foods than
those along the lower Mississippi, yet
it had never occurred to them to come
to the government for aid. Their loss
es each year from floods alone exceed
$6O, 100000, but senator McCumber de-
clared that his people are sufficiently
patriotic to keep their troubles to
themselves. ~
