BILL BRYAN 1OBS UP.

According to William Jennings Bry-
an, federal control of the railroads
doesn't work because there are still
some railroad men connected with it.
We suppose that the theater will at
tain its highest state of efficiency just
as soon as all the actors are removed
and that the churches will reach the
pinnacle OF success in removing evil
from the world when the preachers
have all been taken away. Better
stick to grape Juice and woman sui.
frage, William!

(From the Boston Guardian.)
We consecrate all of the powers we
have to fight for the immediate reign
of justice and law in the treatment of
100000 Of our own colored fellow
citizens, not on the banks of the
Rhine, but on the banks of the Mis-
sissipp1; not in Africa, but in Georgia.
We should lose heart if we relied
on man or men to win in this fight,
but we know as Charles Sumner once
said: Justice reigns aloft on the
throne of God and not below with the
multitude" We turn from faint
hearted leaders and cheer ourselves
with the thought, "The Lord God ON
nipotent reighneth.''

A GOOD BILL.

territorial boundaries of the United
States. 1t has been referred to the

Commerce and ordered to be printed.
AS the next Congress which will have

to it that it is promptly enacted into

that he "emphasized" the fact that the
colored soldiers should return mod

given by DR.. Motion appeared to in
terest these two American newspa-
pers published in Paris, and it is &C.
cepted that his special" mission to
France, at this time. and just at the
time when colored soldiers who have
been for months fighting In France
are about to return to the United
States, is to impress upon them that
they should be modest and unassum-

quietly, and >uncomplainingly what
ever discrimination and segregation
may be imposed on them in the States
on their return, after having fought
for months for world democracy.
Motion was accompanied on his trip
to the camps by Thomas Jesse Jones,
of the Bureau of Education at Wash

of the white instructors at Hampton

jim CROW DAY IN BOSTON
(From the Boston Guardian ,

tfTOm the Boston Guardian.)
Monday, February "a, was a typical
Jim Grow day in Boston, and it seems
10 nave been so planned. The dav
tlme was given over to welcoming the
returning president. In the evening
there was meeting held to honor col.
oieu soldlers. The two occasions at
least nave the alternatives of the Jim
GROW doctrine of separate and dis
tlnct but equal" or the Jim Crow ar.
rangement of up to the big house
ana down to the big gate." The i'm
presslons OF the events are significant
mere are strong and variant views
mere on the question of the League Of
Nations. There are equally strong
views on the race question and the
rights of man. But on this occasion
Boston behaved herself proud. There
was no heckling of the president, The
reception was dignified and ORDERLY
But ne left Boston still in possession
of her views.
There was no rough-necking down
at the big gate. Mr.. Scott and Mr..
Moton were received with respectful
dignity. But they left Boston with no
greater disposition to compromise hu-
man rights or to barter with lynch.
ers and Jim Grow propagandists.
Ihree-fourths of the audience were
Whlte. Doubtless they are friends of
the race. Their presence points to
another vital circumstance. The meet
ing was held under the auspices of
settlement house-a charitable insti-
tuition: Many white people are willing
TO assign restricted mendicant status
to the best the colored man can pro-
duce.
But the brainy colored man does
not accept the principle of ward and
warden any more than the principle
OF man and master: They are allies
and are opposed to self-determination.
Boston passed the incident coolly
but respectfully. The results so far
as all objectives go were a boomer
ang.
To sum up Jim Grow day in Boston
was a black-frost.

Porto Rico Will Demand Statehood or
Freedom.

San Juan, Porto Rico, March s.
After a debate of more than two days
in both houses of the insular legisla-
ture, the Unionists and Republicans
today agreed to join forces in insisting
that the American congress make
known what the future of Porto Rico
is to be-. It was agreed that if there
can be no assurance that statehood
is possible, the parties should work
for independence. The people of
Porto Rico are not satisfied with color
line which has been forced upon them.

SATURDAY, MARCH Is, 1919.
JEWS OPPOSE A SEGREGATED
NATION.

ShOrt-sighted colored men who are
talking about negro republic" in
Africa, and forgetting to agitate for
1eform in the treatment of 100000
colored citizens of the United States,
ought to know that prominent non
Zionist Jews from all parts of the
United States have sent with Presi-
dent Wilson to the peace conference
their objections to the Zionist demand
for Jewish state in Palestine.
The petition was handed to the
President by Congressman Kahn on
February 5. There were 988 names
on the petition representing the rich
est and most prominent Hebrews in
the country.
The objections to the establishment
of 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.''
"All Jews the petition states, "re-
pudiate every suspicion of double
allegiance, but to our minds it is nee
essarily implied in and cannot by any
logic be eliminated from the estab-
lishment of 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"
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 religious senti-
ment fostered through centuries of
gloom"
If the Jews representing to a great
extent the leadership lin commerce
and industry and the money power of
the World are opposed to "jimcrow''
state, why should not colored men pro-
test against segregation in every
form?

JIMCROWED ON SHIP
Say Chicago Co|ored Officers After Fighting For Freedom
IN France.
SEGREGATED ON THE OLYMPIA SOUTHERN coMmAhDFRx.
AND coLoRS LOST, THEY CHARGE
BY Philip A. Payne

New York, Feb. 24.-Colored OFF,
GERS of the 365th Infantry, Chicago's
colored draft regiment, who returned
from France today, charged they had
been "Jim Crowed" on the transport
Olympic and that a brigadier general
and colonel, ranking officers aboard
the ship, had refused to rescind an
order segregating them from the
white officers.
Their charges, made in writing and
presented to newspaper men by a
colored Y. M. c. A. secretary, acting
on behalf of the officers, were sub
stantiated by colored officers of the
350th Field Artillery, the seth In
fantry and the 317th Sanitary Train,
the other colored UNITS on the trans
port.
Officers Refused Justice.
They said "Brigadier General Charles
Gearhardt, commanding all troops on
the Olympic, and Colonel George H.
McMaster of the 365th Infantry, were
'southerners of the old school, with
all the old traditions, and refused to
see justice done the colored officers -
British naval officers commandine
the Olympic told delegation of the
protesting colored officers the segre
cation order had been issued to them
by their white commander.
Twelve colored officers of the 365th
and the other organizations gathered
in the cabin of the regimental chap
lain while the Y. M. c. A. secretary
gave copy of the charges to report
ers. The "Y" man said he was acting
for the officers who feared court mar
tial proceedings if their names were
used. They substantiated his state
| ment.

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 indorsed lin ungrudging
measure or he will not know how to
deal with other vital international
problems.
