THE PASSING THRONG

The editor hereof is unalterably opposed
to Negro segregation either in church, in
political or municipal affairs, and when
ever it is done the final settlement Of the
alleged race problem in this country will
be retarded just that much and for GER
tain length of time. But few weeks ago,
on the contrary, however, we published an
article herein telling how well colOred
community in this city is getting along and
what fine showing it makes, and yet all
such is but vainly endeavOring to erect
black home on white foundation, which
"can't be did" It is utterly impossible for
a white and black race to live without
friction in the same territory, land or
country. For the good of our institutions
the black folks should be scattered among
the whites. and. if so. they (the blacks)
would sooner adopt the ways and customs
of the whites and lessen the danger of
friction between them. All cities in the
North. East and West of this country that
have black belts are always in more or
less danger of race riots. 1t is due to the
fact that the whites and blacks know little
or nothing of each other and each mistrusts
the other and thereby springs up wall Of
color prejudice
1t is an undeniable fact that the fore
most Negroes in the United States. even
before and since the emancipation, are
mixed bloods- -offsprings Of white and
black parents 1t is further fact that
the colored persons Of this country who
accomplish the most and who reach the
highest strata in their acquired civilization
are those who come in immediate contact
with the leading white men and women.
Those, if you please. who have as their
neighbors the most influential white men Of
their respective communities. In order for
the colored man to be able to meet the
emergencies of the future. when neither
color nor creed will be considered. he must
do things as do white men. Now when and
where, if ever. the ANAL lgamation of the
white and black folks will begin after all
this higher state Of civilization has been
attained by the black man is question
for the future to settle.
It is difficult for westerners to under
stand the race riots which have occurred
in Washington and Chicago for the reason
that we have no race problem here. There
are many colOred men living in Seattle. to
be sure, but the most of them are educated
Negroes. They know their rights, and
would insist upon them if necessary But
it is not necessary, for the whites have no
quarrel with them I do not believe that.
with the class Of colored men there is in
Seattle, race riots would be possible If a
white should perform crime against a
Negro he would be punished promptly and

sufficiently by the law. The question OF
white or black would not enter into the
controversy. And if black should per-
form crime against a white the same
would apply.
But in the East there are more tough
black men just as there are more tough
and uneducated whites-The (Seattle)
Argus.
The above excerpt is truly the proverbial
clap of thunder from clear sky. No
man in Seattle and certainly no publisher,
has shown more indifference toward the up
lift of the colored population of this COM
munity in particular and the United States
in general than the editor Of The Argus
and in spite of his past indifferences he
writes as no one else in Seattle has written
on the causes Of Grace riots When
white men in all walks Of life here and
elsewhere, give colored men in like con-
dition, the same public consideration as
has the above editor, then there will be no
more race riots and less race prejudice and
hatred between persons of different colors
and conditions in this country. A white
man has no more right, according to the
laws of our land, to impose upon colored
men than does cOlOred man upon white
man and whoever does it should be pun
ished by the law.
Anent the antiJapanese sentiment the
Star of Seattle has endeavored to fasten
upon the citizens of Seattle in particular
and the Northwest in general the unde
veloped agricultural conditions Of the
Puget Sound country would seem to indi-
cate that the driving of the Japanese out
would be cutting off your nose to spite
your face. Coming home from Gle Elum
last Monday evening, at least fifty miles
Of country was passed through and the
most marked signs of human habitatiOn
was the track on which the train travelled
which was but a circuitous winding high
way through the jungles of the virgin
forests. In the fifty miles not one farm
was seen. Persons residing on those lands
come to Seattle for the fruit and vegetables
grown by Japanese, on which to exist In
stead OF driving the Japanese from our
shores those vast acres Of undeveloped land
would seem to be calling million Japanese
to their aid and assistance to become fer
tile fields and fine farms
Speaking about the Japanese and the
development Of wild lands reminds the
writer of the fact that twenty years ago
Vashon Island was almost in virgin state
the lands not being valued at more than
$50 per acre. The owners leased the lands
for nominal sum for five years or more to
Japanese to clear and cultivate the same,
and now those lands are valued as high
as thousand dollars per acre. The
Japanese is the most thrifty class of
human beings in the Northwest, not even
excepting the white man. From an agri-
cultural and horticultural standpoint he
holds the Northwest in the hollow of his
hands, Pullman Agricultural College to the
contrary Notwithstanding If by force of
circumstances the entire Japanese colony of
the Northwest would suddenly quit this
country, the actual citizens hereof amid all
OF their wealth would suffer for want of
food for the next three years. And so vou
see the Jap just now is essential to our
lives

No Union Station for Omaha
Says Railroad Chief Hines
Lack Of Appropriations Given AS Cause By Director
General for Inability To Erect Stations While
Roads Are Operated Under Government Owner
ship-Explains Crop Transformation Plan.

tain, the Omaha grain men ex-
pressed the opinion that unless a
large number of cars is available 20
move the grain east and to the large
milling centers, elevators will soon
fill and serious congestion will re-
suit.
Grain to be Moved Promptly.
Mr.. Hines informed the Omaha
rlen that the grain moving problem
had been under consideration by the
railroad administration for a con-
siderable time. He believed that the
situation would be cleared up ard
that there would be a much more
satisfactory method of handling
grain than maintained last fall and
that the car shortage would be less
acute.
1t was pointed out that indications
are that during the coming season
there will be many more cars avail
able for grain shipments than one
year ago. This will be due. Mr..
Hines said, to the fact that last
year thousands of freight cars we're
in service hauling war munitions
and government supplies. This year
these cars can all be transferred to
the grain hauling business, sent east
to the mills and the, seaboard and
rushed back into the grain produc-
ing areas to be again loaded and
sent on their way.
The grain men were told that to
prevent congestion of grain at ter
minals, the permit system would be
applied at an earlier date than last
year. and that in fact its application
would maintain Immediately upon
the opening of the shipping season,
instead of waiting until the elevators
are filled.
Permit System General.
This season the permit system
will be applied to country, as we'll
as to terminal elevators. Country
elevators will be prohibited buying
after their capacity has been reached.
In other words, country elevators
will not be permitted to fill to ca
pacity and then buy to fill cars that
may happen to be standing on
tracks.
At terminals, carload lots of grain
will not be received unless there is
storage for the same in elevators,
nor will there be permits issued for
out shipments unless there is ele-
vator capacity. at the market to
which the grain is consi gned. With
this system isaugurated and main
tanned and permits issued only by
the government grain inspection de-
partinent, it is believed by Mr..
Hines that grain will be kept NOV
ing more freely than heretofore;
that there will be less congestion at
terminal markets and. that the car
shortage will be reduced to a min
in um.
Omaha grain men agreed with
Mr. Hines in his solution of the
grain shipping problem and agreed
to do everything possible to put into
operation the plans outlined.
At 8 o'clock in the afternoon Mr..
Hines and the members of his party
lief. on their special, over, the Rock
Island, going to Denver, where to-
day they will hold conference with
the business men and shippers of
that city.

Nothing will be done toward the
construction of a union station in
Omaha during federal control and
operation of the railroads." said
Walker D. Hines, director general of
steam lines, as he swung off the
Rock Island special yesterday morn
ing Continuing, Mr. Hines said:
1T is like this: Everything points
to the return Of the railroad prop
critics to the corporations. No one
car say when this will occur, but it
is not likely that it will be very long
before the government will relin-
quish its management and the op-
Grafton that goes along with it,
SHOULD the administration decide
upon union depot here, in all
probabilities it could not be COM
pleted before the roads are turned
back. Then you see that it might
not be such structure as the inter-
ested lines would want.
No Funds for Improvements.
"Another thing that stands in the
way of the erection of a union depo.
at this time is the fact that we are
without funds for Improvements of
this character.
'We have to keep equipment in
good condition and continue i'm
provements along the lines, and this,
together with what we have to pay
out for wages, exhausts the earn
ings and the money that the gov
eminent appropriates for rail lines"

Jones, his assistants; Hale Holden,
regional director for the central
zone; H. G. Clark, chief engineer.

Slaughter House Smell Too
Much for His Family; Sues

The erection of slaughter house
by the Omaha Packing company at
Thirty-eighth and M streets, is the
reason for a suit for $l,700 damages
by Peter Murphy, 1911 M street. He
filed suit against the packing COM
pany in district court yesterday.
The smell of the slaughter house,
the lowing of cattle during the night
and other disagreeable things, he
says, have destroyed his peace and
that of his family and reduced their
efficiency.
