lice field day. Saturday, Aug. IL.
Detroiters will have plenty to do.
Nacirema week opens with a SYM
postum, Saturday. in which several
interesting people will take part.
Richard w. Reading has also been
invited TO take part in the pro-
gram. Nacirema club has been very
active in its civic and social pro-
grams among Detrolters and is
doing quite a bit in selling De-
troit to the nation.
After few days OF social acti-
witty. the Detroiters will then turn
their attention toward the an
preaching fall election. Monday
Mayor Reading announced that he
would run for reelection. Mayor

SEGREGATION AND
CHRISTIANITY;
nOnhle. nnfY Dollar N Anci

The Baptist World Alliance is
history. IL was grand and glo-
rious occasion and doubtless did
some good. Meeting as Il did in
The heart OF the South. il had many
handicaps TO overcome: but II
came through without the loss OF
prestige. II is always unfortunate
for a great Christian conclave 10
meet under un-Christian auspices
In many ways il was unfortunate
that the alliance met in Atlanta.
although IL is 10 be hoped that It
lad some ljberalizing effects on At
lanta and Georgia; but more than
once | concluded that Atlanta was
inierracially unprepared for such
meeting Time and again Atlanta's
hand had TO be called TO relent in
ils tight segregation methods
Instead OF loosening up Allan

It's segregation program This was
unfortunate indeed. However. un-
der pressure Atlanta Welded and

Everybody knows that Atlanta

segregation was therefore to he
expected, but such practices arc
always inimical TO the best inter-
csts ~ Christian fellowship. The
cause OF Christianity loses wher-
over and whenever Il must Cham
bcrlainize" It's program.
i WAS most unfortunate that so
many OF The speakers, including
the reliying president. felt called
upon TO make dcrogatory reference
10 the Catholic church. Time and
again some speaker directly or in
directly riled the Church OF Rome
This too in the face OF The avow

when Il thus spells its Vaunted
hospitality. Atlanta left no doubt
that II was trying hard TO nut ND

dcncs that il failed TO impress the
world of its cenuin,Ness in matters
interracial.
More important and more inSpr-
atlonal than the alliance itsel, WAS
The opportunity to see Negro At

whites who moved out 10 more

glory lies. There are several

FRIDAY, MAY IL, 1899.
THE CLAMOR OF RAILROAD
FINANCE

Senators Wheeler of Montana and
Truman of Missouri have introduced
a bill to set up a special federal court
to handle the reorganization of bank
rupt and near-bankrupt railroads. The
Interstate Commerce Committee of the
Senate is holding hearings on the
measure. So far, all representatives
of rail finance are denouncing the bill
with all the force they can muster.
To anyone who knows anything of
the history of railroad finance, this
opposition is a point in favor of the
bill. That statement is not a blind
Endorsement of the measure. The sub
ject is complex in itself, and snarled
up by the frauds and trickeries of
two generations besides. 1t REQUIRES
the most careful study; and railroad
a~0Oi lCCGlNG dI IedSC 1S 0lucn
consideration as railroad finance.
But this is sure: Senators Wheeler
and Truman have been working liter
ally for years on the railroad problem.
They are probably among the dozen
men in the country who know that
problem best; and no one has i'm
peached their integrity. The bill they
have offered should be subject to the
broadest criticism as we'll as the clos
est examination. But clamorous at
tacks from the interests which have
brought the roads to their present
plight are not at all convincing.

FORD INSURANCE

The Ford Motor Company has come
to an agreement with the Travellers
Insurance Company whereby 100000
workers in the Ford plants may get
insurance. Starting June /, they may
take out life insurance to the amount
of $1,000 each, with sick and accident
benefits. The Ford Employees Service
will manage all the details.
Is this just another scheme to keep
alive the notorious Ford industrial
despotism? His workers have no saw
in the matter; Ford, who is to paw
"about half" the premiums, will die
tate all. Insurance controlled by the
company might be a potent club
against any movement of the men to
improve their wages and conditions of
