postoffice window in the general deliv-
cry department was employed by f. r.

Washington, Feb. 13.--Attorney w.
l.. Houston wired President r. l..

eral of railroads announced an increase
in pay of $50 per month, with an eight
hour working day and 30 per cent al

THE RACE PROBLEM
AND DOMESTIC SERVICE

of providing as much home life as pos
sibe for the girls in domestic service
in order to attract colored women who
are being trained in schools like Tus-
kegee."
"Frequently," added Mrs. Washing
ton, "our students here go into domes-
tic service as a means to an end, but
some of them have had experiences
such as 1 have indicated which have
caused them to make up their minds
to do school teaching or any other
work rather than do domestic service.
If had time to relate some of the eX-
periences of these young women, Of
their neglect, of their exposure, and
of their loneliness, you would under
stand some of the reasonS why the
problem Of domestic help is so aggfa-

''The chief cause of race riots in the
United States,' said Mr.. Pickens, us
the attitude of mind in the white pub
lie toward the Negro race.
"As long as an intelligent and re-
ligious white man discriminates
against the Negro race, regardless of
individual merit, the ignorant and ir-
religious white man will do the same
but that ignorant and irreligous
white man will be cOarser and more
brutal in his dealings with the Negro.
"The politician in Washington at
temps to lynch the Negro civilly and
politically: the man at home in Tex
as attempts to lynch him with rope.
The one lynches him in soul, the other
in body. If where the Negro is con-
cerned, the senator respects no law,
human or divine as one of them said,
then the lynchng of the Negro is the
most logical thing in the country.
"The better classes of both races
must deliberately and consciously
seek out cooperation and acquain-
tanceship with each others aspira-
tions, needs, worth. Interracial com
mittees should exist wherever there is
an appreciable number of cOlored peo-
pie, to promote interracial amity. And
any organized effort to affect the race
problem in any particular, must he
along the lines of the National ASso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People-that is it must consist of
both white and colored men, deliher-
ately pursuing this solution. Neither
race can settle the matter alone. The
white man has already failed in that
method : the Negro need not try it.

"The Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage

But the situation changes radi-

forming themselves into groups and
parties, each group bound together
by a common belief in some funda-

conditions. Many people who criti-
cize political parties are really only
desirous of another party based on
their own special views.
II believe with increasing fervor
each day in education, especially edu-

chances for the promotion of edu- !
