 Guns are made to kill, and no one should be permitted to run at large with a gun unless he has been tho- roughly trained in the safety he should observe. In frontier days men trained their boys in the use of the gun, taught them how to shoot straight, gave them all the important lessons of care and thot. Then guns were in use nearly every day.

Mellon Denies
Jim Crow > In
U. S. Treasury

WASHINGTON, d. c., June IL
Declaring that not only does the
Treasury Department pay one of the
highest salaries in the government to
colored man. but that a large num-
ber hold highly paid and responsible
positions, Secretary Mellon denied
that segregation existed in his de-
partment in an interview last week.
The high salary case referred TO
is believed to be that of Charles An
derson, Collector of Internal Rev
enue of New York. In a carefully
compiled statement Secretary Mellon
says:
II have caused a very careful in
vestigation to be made of all of the
important branches of the Treasury
Department to determine whether
such statement can fairly be made.
As a result of this investigation, I
am satisfied that criticism of segre-
cation is unwarranted and that there
is no discrimination among en-
ployees of the Treasury Department
by reason of color, race, creed or
otherwise. This has been the policy
of this department throughout my
auHiiHiobAdhioitf anu Il Cdil dosuft yOu
that it will continue.
'In this bureau you will find that
there is absolutely no segregation of
white and colored employees's per-
forming the same kind of work. For
example, in the Examining Division
examiners and trimmers are allo-
Gated to certain sections of the room
depending upon the nature of the
work they perform, all examiners,
both white and colored, being one
end of the room and all trimnerss
both white and colored, being IN the
other. In the Plate Printing Divi-
sion printers assistants are assigned
to presses in various sections with
out regard to race. The assignment
is made according to the amount of
work to be performed on the partic-
ular day and the printer has no
choice as to whether he will have
white or colored assistants.
"In the Watch Division fourteen
colored watchmen are employed, and
the assignments are treated impair
TALLY with frequent shifts from one
post to another, so that colored and
white employees interchange posi-
tions from day to day and perform
identical work. In the Garage Divi-
sion, the superintendent, white
man, occupies desk in the same
room and adjoining the desk of the
clerk of the division, a colored man.
