MARKED CARDS.
From Wisconsin Blade.

From Wisconsin Blade.
Loading dice" marking cards"
and stacking the deck" are three ia
vorite pastimes of the crooked gam
bier. He does them with a fineness
to the credit of the profession, how
ever, that all gamblers do not resort
to these questionable methods. Many
of them are honesty ITSELF and rely
wholly upon their own skill and train
ed judgment in placing their bets.
Today we have the sorry spectacle
of the United States Government
champion of the rights of mankind" "
chief exponent of righteousness in
government mad self appointed arbiter
of world difficulties, engaged in prep
aration for the most stupendous war
of history, employing the despicable
methods Of the vilest gambler, though
without the skill and finish of it's
exemplar. In that little game of
draw" fittingly styled "selective con-
scription," marked cards" will be
used.
to be a facsimile of the card to be
used in the registration of citizens for
the coming draft. Among the many
questions to be answered is one which
seeks to know the particular race to
which the answerer belongs. AS if
that were not enough upon subject
so out of place in, the affairs of a
democracy, we find in the lower left
hand corner, running diagonally across
the card, this obviously misplaced but
significant expression: "If person is
of African descent, tear off here"
Ye Gods! what nauseating absurd
| ties are committed in the name Of
! Democracy! What wanton disregard
for the elemental principles of the
cause espoused! To what ends will
not some person go, what means viii
they not employ, to create and foster
artificial barriers between the races
| We have sought by all means tC
find a legitimate reason for this dis
tinction. Why the distinction be
tween Americans of African descent
and all other persons-citizens anC
aliens? What need for this ready
Identification? Why set apart native
Americans of African descent wheI
even unnaturalized Germans-alieI
enemies-are spared this mark o
Distinction" Can it be that this il
one of the incidents of the selectivt
draft for which the administration
! fought so valiently?
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1917-05-26

Throughout the week the dismissal
of Secretary Robert e. DeFrantz from
the Executive Management of the
Paseo Branch (Colored) of the Y. M.
C.. A., has been the principal topic
of discussion among the Colored peo-
pie of the city and opinion has been
greatly divided as to the wisdom or
Justice of this action. Very few of
the Colored people of the city were
aware that any friction existed, al
though complaint more or less reli-
able had been made over minor af-
fairs connected with the management
of the Institution. Those who uphold
the action of Secretary Bishop and
the Metropolitan Board contend that
the work has not been developed or
the membership inspired by the old
management and are prone to lay
much of the blame for the dismissal
of Secretary DeFrantz upon the pol
icies advocated by Prof. H. o. Cook,
Chairman of the Board of Manage
ment.
To be able to give clear state

resentative of The Sun visited Cen
eral Secretary c. S. Bishop at the
General Headquarters and asked for
a complete statement of the causes
that led up to the separating of Mr..
DeFrantz from the management and
incidentally the payroll of the Paseo
Department. Mr.. Bishop very gra-
ciously received our Representative
and DR.. Edw. B. Ramsey who accom-
panied him and after a general dis
cussion of Y. M. c. A. affairs entered
into a specific detail of the causes
leading up to the rupture, which epito-
mized; spells insubordination and flag
rant violation of the rules governing
the corporation. In the first place
the General Secretary contended that
thesPaseo Department had never ad'
hered strictly to the Bylaws govern
ing the organization and called partic-
ular attention to Article which reads
as follows:
ARTICLE ".
Section l. The management of this
Department shall be vested in a com
mittee of not less than seven, or more
than fifteen members of the Depart
ment, and shall represent not less
than three evangelical denominations
This committee shall be appointed
annually by the Directors of the AS
sociation, who shall designate the
chairman. Vacancies occurring in the
committee may be filled by the Di
rectors of the Association.
Before the appointment of this Com
mittee the Department, in such way
as may be deemed best, shall prepare
and submit to the Directors a list o
men eligible for membership on this
Committee"
None of these provisions, according
to Mr.. Bishop have been complied will
under a strict Interpretation of thu
law. Instead, the 'Paseo Department
has proceeded to elect members o
the Committee for three, two and on
years when the law specifically say
that This Committee Of Management
shall be APPOINTED ANNUALLY b.
