firemen and other skilled laborers will
also be released for service on troop
and necessary freight trains.
Among the many patriotic duties of
the American public at this time is
the duty to refrain from travelling un-
necessarily. Every man, woman and
child who can avoid using passenger
trains in this time should do so. l
earnestly hope that they will do so.
Not only will they liberate essential
transportation facilities which are
necessary for wal purposes, but they
will save money which they can in
vest in Liberty Bonds and thereby
help themselves as well as their coun-
try; and the fewer who travel, the
more ample the passenger train ser.
vice will be.
/ may add that consistently with the
paramount demands of the war, every
possible effort is being made by the
Railroad Administration to supply the
largest possible amount of comfort

THE NEGRO AND
THE PUBLIC PARK
BY j. A. WILSON.

Mr.. Editor:
A recent incident published in your
paper regarding an insult and outrage
offered a Negro woman in a public
park by a workman of said park calls
for a thorough investigation. AS l
understand it, a Negro woman, a Mrs.
Morrison, who is reputed as intelli-
gent, cultured and refined, was simply
resting on a park bench within the
public highway, not disturbing the
public peace, when a park workman,
by whom appointed | do not know,
ordered her out of the park, with in
sulting language; threatened her with
violence when she demonstrated
against his outrageous action and hu.
inflated her by forcing her out. This
incident would not have happened in
England, France OF Italy, and not ever
in Germany, and it happened in this
country because of a condition be,
tween the races which ceased to exist
nearly half a century ago.
There is a certain class of Amer.
leans who will find it difficult to
thoroughly understand the true mean
ing of the Democracy of nations and
the same class has failed so far tc
learn that slavery was a wrong per
petrated by one class of people OF
another class of human beings ant
that when it was abolished both the
slave and his owner were freed alike
from it's d~emoralizing influence.
But there is a useful lesson in the
story of the Ten Virgins, who accord
ing to a custom of the Orient were
waiting to accompany the bridegroom
into the festive hall. Five of then
were wise, and were waiting; but five
were foolish, and neglected to pre-
pare themselves; so that when the
bridegroom came they could not en-
joy the privileges they were entitled
to.
The present condition of the worlds
affairs are by the power of destiny
bringing to the Negro Of this country
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1918-08-24

a fuller, if not a full, measure of his
civil rights and privileges. But there
is a large class who like the foolish
Virgins are not getting ready. This
class is not industriously saving
money, not acquiring properly, not
seeking useful knowledge and not i'm
proving it's prominent, obtrusive, OBJ
noxious, public manners, which last
was the direct cause of Mrs. Morri.
sons humiliation.
Fortunately among the other class
of Negroes are many who have learn
ed the lessons of ace usefulness from
Frederick Douglass, Abraham Grant,
Booker T. Washington, HIT. Healing,
Harriet Beecher Stowe and other il
lustrious men and and are
ready now to work. The task seems
sometimes a difficult one, but is one
which must be performed by the more
fortunate members of the race, and
if Hercules could successfully clean
the enormous Angean stables in one
night in myth, certainly with modern
intelligent methods some of the great
faults of the race can be improved or
cured. l have on several occasions
mentioned this matter in these col
umns and now | offer a practical idea.
Many Negroes conduct themselves
badly because they have not been
taught proper department. Let us try
to teach those who are not under
discipline. Let us raise a fund to have
printed placards bearing short lessons
in proper public department and place
them in such barber shops, pool halls,
club rooms, churches, schools and
other suitable places of public gath
erings and keep them there until they
effect the purpose sought. Let the
local association for the advancement
of colored people, The Civic League,
take the project in charge.
My dollar and other ideas are ready.
But in the meantime let the Morrison
cast be thoroughly investigated and
let us insist that we, the American
Negroes, are also American citizens.

Office of the
General Director of Railroads,
Washington, u. G.

OIIlCe VI the
General Director of Railroads,
Washington, u. G.
August 20, 1918.
Statement to the Public.
Complaints have reached me from
time to time of overcrowded trains
and unsatisfactory conditions prevail
ing in some sections of the country
in passenger train service. l feel GER
tain that there are grounds for some
of these complaints, but l am sure
the public will be interested to know
that the reasons are twofold:
First, the great number of troops
now being handled over the various
railroads between the homes and the
cantonments, between the different
cantonments and then to the sea-
board, is making extraordinary de-
mands upon the passenger car and
sleeping car equipment of the coun-
try. This has caused a scarcity of
day coaches and sleeping cars which
it is impossible to remedy immedi-
ately.
Secondly, the increased demands
upon track and terminal facilities for
the transportation of the tremendous
amounts of coal, food supplies, raw
materials, and other things required
for military and naval operations, as
well as for the support of the civil
population of the country, force the
largest possible curtailment of passen-
ger train service. The movements of
troops and war materials are, of
course, of paramount Importance and
must be given at all times the right
of way.
1t is hoped that the increase in pas.
senger rates recently made would
have the wholesome effect of reduc-
ing unnecessary passenger traffic
throughout the country. The smaller
the number of passengers who travel,
the greater number of locomotives
and cars and the larger the amount
of track and terminal facilities that
will be freed for essential troop and
war material movements. Engineers,

Lloyd George
Will Not Extend
Racing Season

Premier Lloyd George of England
has refused the request of the Ma
tional .Workmen's Council for an eX-
tension Of the racing season, especially
the fixtures under National Hunt
rules. in the localities adjacent to the
big munltion works. Some time ago
the council appealed to Colonel Will
lam Hall Walker, NJ. P, for his help
to secure the extension. He advised a
direct appeal to the government, think
ing it might heed the request from the
men who were supplying the main part
of the material to the firing line.
The council took the advice OF
Colonel Walker and several petitions
were sent to the government from the
different munition districts, but they
seemingly fell fiat. 1t appears that
the Board of Trade, the War Cabinet
were against the extension, the eX-
PLANTATION being that all the railroads
were needed for the transportation OF
troops.
The reply to the branches of the
Workmen's Council came through J. r
Davies, secretary to Lloyd George. He
said: Il am desired by the Prime Min
lister TO acknowledge the receipt OF
your letter Of the 30th of June, and
your further appeal of July 3. and tc
say that all the considerations which
you urge have been most carefully
studied by the government, but in view
of the report received from the Boarc
of Trade and the Railway Execu-
tive Committee the War Cabinet is
unable to modify the decisions arrived
at and announced on the subject OF
horse racing"
