went black on him. He now lives
in a colored apartment house with
attendant limitations. He once took
a friend to dine with him at a ce-

land Hayes.
Schuyler and Miller Analysed
THE attitudes Of Schuyler and
Kelly Miller are historically based
on the amiable assumption that
there is little or no segregation IN
the North, and that agitation and
firm stand is making this disap-
pear; that obvious desert and ac-
conaplishment by Negroes can
break down prejudice. This is a
fable. I once believed it passion
ately. It may become true In $50
or 1000 years. Now it is not true.
No black man, whatever his Gull
ture or ability is today in Ameri-
ca, is regarded as a man by any
considerable number Of white A
mercans. The difference between
North and South in the matter Of
segregation is largely a difference
of degree; of wide degree certain
ly, but still of degree. In the North
neither Schuyler nor Kelly Miller
nor anyone with visible admix-
ture of Negro blood can frequent
hotels or restaurants. They are
confined by unyielding public OPP
inion to Negro world"
Conditions Grow Worse
PessimisticalIy DR.. Dubois as
serts that ''this situation has in the
last quarter century been steadily
growing worse. Joel Spingarn Ca
contributor to the symposium may
ask judicially as to whether or not
the N.A.A.C.P. should change its
attitude towards segregation. The
point that he does not realize is
that segregation has changed its
attitude towards the N.A.A.C.P.
The higher the Negro climbs or
tries to climb, the more pitiless and
unyielding the color ban. Segre-
cation may be just as evil today
as it was in 1910, but it is more
insistent, more prevalent and more
unassailable by appeal or argu-
ment. In 1910 colored men could
be entertained in the best hotels;
now he cannot be guest at a first
class hotel. Not even In Boston is
he welcome; IN New York, the num-
Der of hotels where he can go is
very small. Roland Hayes was
unable to get regular hotel accom-
modations, and DR.. Motion (R. r.
Motion, principal of Tuskegee In
stitute) only succeeds by powerful
white influence and by refraining
from use of the public dining room
or the public Hobbies.
Campaign Has Failed
IF as Spingarn asserts, the N.
A.A.C.P. has conducted a quarter
century campaign against segrs-

little less than nothing. We have
by legal action steadied the foun-
dalton so that IN the future, segrs-

DR.. Du Bots urges Negroes to
get together for their mutual de-
velopment and protection. TT is
perfectly certain that, not only
shall we be compelled to submit
to much segregation. but that az
some time it viii be necessary to
our survival and step towards
the ultimate breaking down of bar
riers, to increase by voluntary ac-
ton our separation from our fell
lowmen When white Amer'-
cans refuse to treat me as a man,
I win cut my intercourse with the
white Americans to the minimum
demanded by decent living It may
be and often has been true that
oppression and insult have become
so intense and so unremitting that
there is nc alternative in self-de-
Tense, until the attitude Of the
world changes. It happens that
today is peculiarly day when
such voluntary union for self-ex-
preston and self-denfense is fore
ed upon large numbers of people.
We may rail against this. We may
say that it is not our fault, and it
certainly is not.
Nevertheless. to do nothing In

 At midnight last night, when the lucky Year of the Dog began for millions. the head of ed"h fam fly gathered his family about him for observance of the triple rites" He donned long gown and per- formed the worship of the God of Earth and Sky, the Household Gods and the Spirits of the Dead.
 With the ceremonies complete. members of the family greeted the master and mistress with the Chi ncse greeting for Happy New Year. Then followed the feat of reunion. Again the triple rites" were per- formed. Gates of the family com pound were thrown open to permit of visits of felicitation by friends and relatives, fire-crackcrs were set off and the three days celebra- ton is now in full swing.
 For the last seven days good housewives have been busy sweep ing their homes clean. The doors of Chinese houses have been duly decorated with strips of red paper to ward off evil spirits. The strips of red paper represent the Garden Gods, who preserved the Emperor Tang from evil spirits many, many yeors ago.
 A week ago, which marked the 23rd day or the old 18th moon, the Chinese conducted ceremonies of farewell to the Kitchen God, who acts as the spy of the Jade God. On the night of Feb 6, by western reckoning. each Kitchen God in China departed for heaven to re- port on the affairs and conduct of the people to the great Jade God. There were many who, before his departure. rubbed his mouth with honey so that he could report only sweet words to the Jade God. More

A weeks continuance was grant ed to four garage-owners when ar- raigned in police court today on the charge of failing to obtain off, cia1 licenses for the operation of their businesses as required by state law.
 When the cases were called only Leo Therault, 50, of Main street. Oakvflle. Edward O'Reilly, 45, of 22 Walnut street, and Gaylord Whitney, 32, of 6S6 Bunker sHill avenue, responded to their names. Jacob Silver, 45, of 50 Meadow street failed to appear during the session of court. About ten min- utes after court adjourned Silver walked into the court room and was placed under arrest by Ser geant John r. Brickel. He was booked at the desk by Sergeant Hugh Flahsrty and released under bonds pending his appearance to- morrow morning. The other three men had been notified and were not placed under arrest.
 It is likely that the four defend ants will obtain>their licenses with out further delay and 1t is possible that the court may approve of Q nolle in each case. The permits is- sued by the. state motor vehicle de- pertinent will cost $25 each.

 The case of Stanley Paloski, 2S, of 36 Dikeman street was again continued today. Paloski was arr rested on January 18th and charged with reckless driving and evasion of responsibility. On that night the accused disregarding sig nals from police officers drove through established fire lines and crashed into, two automobiles and wrecked fire hydrant. Firemen were in the vicinity at the time fighting a fire in a residence. Pal oski leaped out of his machine and attempted to run away. He was captured, but a companion es- caped. Patrolman John Deeley, who had signaied to Paloski was also hit by his car and painfully injured.
 Pending a decision from the su- preme court on a case with similar phases to be considered as evidence the case of August O'Bernier, 52, of 358 Washington avenue, 0 months continuance was recom- mended and graAted. He was arr rested about month ago when the emergency squad found a small quantity of liquor in his place of business, bowling alleys. O'Bernier has raised a defense, which in- wolves several technical features.
