GOOD BILL.

Mr.. Madden, of Illinois, has offered a
bill in Congress to further amend an
act entitled IAN Act to regulate COM
merce," approved in 1887, that will, if
passed, do away with every jim-crow
system of transportation within the
territorial boundaries Of the United
States. 1t has been referred to the
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce and ordered to be printed.
AS the next Congress which will have
1t to deal with has working Republican
majority, it is hoped that the mem
bers OF the party of, Lincoln and Sum-
mer, the party Of equal rights, will see
to it that it is promptly enacted into
law.

SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1919.
ASKS RACE EQUALITY.

Action by the peace conference to
eliminate race prejudice, which he
termed "a fruitful source of discon-
tent and uneasincss among nations in
the past" was urged by Viscount Ishii,
Japanese ambassador to the United
States, speaking before the Japan So
ciety here tonight.
Nothing would contribute more ef-
fectively to the foundation of perma-
nent peace, he declared, than appli-
cation of proper remedy, "at this op-
perfume moment" to this cause of in
ternational discord." The constitution
of league of nations, he added, would
not be worthy of the conference if it
omitted provision to right the "con-
spicuous injustice" arising out of pre-
JUDGE between the races.
Viscount 1shii urged the right of the
Asiatics, "who fought side by side
with the Anglo-Saxons, Latins, and
Slavs against the common foe," to
equal consideration among the allied
peoples.
"The single minded object of the
war;" said the ambassador, twas the
maintenance of international justice
and the establishment of durable
peace. No consideration of racial feel
ing entered into the supreme decision
for the sacrifices of blood and treasure
on the part of any of the allied or
associated powers.
"And now, when this war for inter-
national justice is about to come to it's
happy termination and when the
world league for permanent peace is
being contrived, why should this ques-
ton of his race prejudice, race discrim-
nation, and race humiliation alone be
left unremedied? When restriction
or prohibition of discriminatory treat
ment of chattels and commodities is
being adequately provided for, why
should this unjust and unjustifable
discrimination against persons be al
lowed to remain untouched?"
Just notice the similarity of the plea
of Viscount Ishii to that of the editor
of THE APPEAL in his wire to the
President, which we reprint on this
page. In view of the wide spread de-
mand by all the various racial ele-
ments of the world for the abolition
OF the color line, why is it that so
many alleged colored leaders stand
like dumb driven cattle and voice no

and at the centenary it is very likely
that the brethren will recount the
wonderful thing the church has done
for "the negro" and all will join in
singing Onward, Christian Soldier"

SAME OLD STUFF.

Remembering the language in which
President Wilson induced his demo.
cratic congress to reverse itself on
the subject of Panama canal tolls,
against the interests of the United
States, it will not be surprising if he
tells the country that the proposed
constitution of the League of Nations
must be Endorsed "in ungrudging
measure" or he will not know how to
deal with other vital international
problems. !

The objections to the establishment
Of a Jewish Homeland in PALESTINE
are set forth under four specific head
ings, the chief one Of which is that
the jews are dedicated heart and
soul to the countries in which they
dwell under free conditions
AL Jews" the petition states, ere
pudiate every suspicion of a double
allegiance, but to our minds it. is nee
essarily implied in and cannot by any
logic be eliminated from the estab-
lishment OF a sovereign state for the
Jews"
The petition also states that "by the
large part taken by them in the great
war, the Jews have once and for all
shattered the base aspersions Of the
anti-Semites. who charged them with
being aliens in every land, incapable
OF true patriotism, and prompted only
by sinister and self-seeking motives. n
It says that those who would seek
the establishment of Jewish sover
eign state and yet "insist on their
patriotic attachment to the countries
of which they are citizens, are self
deceived in their professions of Zion
ism, and under a spell of emotional
romanticism or of a religious senti
ment fostered through centuries Of
gloom"
II the Jews representing to a great
extent the leadership in commerce
and industry and the money power Of
the World are opposed to a "jimcrow'
state, why should not colored men pro
test against segregation in every
form?

let-up all day Tuesday and

ture was above freezing and
the snow in contact with the

was very wet and heavy until
Tuesday night, when it became
lighter.
The official record gives the
snowfall up to Tuesday even
ing at 5 inches, with .85 of
