Entered as second class matter June 6, 1885 at the postoffloe at St. Paul, Minn., under act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1914. Years ago, many who felt secure in their rights mini mized the power of Vardaman when he was making his "white man" cam paign and said that it would never be possible for such a creature as he to influence the policy of this great gov ernment, but now we are face to face with the fact that Vardaman actually controls the government of the United States. He has just delivered to President Wilson his ultimatum that he will fight any "Negro nomina tions" to the bitter end. Vardaman, who talks so much about a "white man's government" boasts of his Indian blood and it is also rumored that he has negro blood in his veins and he certainly looks as much like a negro as many men whom he aclls "Negroes." If WoQdrow Wilson is President, he ought to have the courage to treat every class of American citizens in accordance with the principles of the "New Freedom" of which he has writ ten and talked so much. He swore to do it when he took his oath of office. He should order the discontinuance of segregation of the races in the gov ernment departments and he should nominate colored men for office and stand by his nominations by recess appointments until he wins. The cause for Vardaman's latest outbreak is the fact that Municipal Judge Robert H. Terrill is a candi date for reappointment. Judge Tetrill was endorsed by 300 of th elowyers of Washington and 20 or more of the leading law firms wrote personal let ters to the President in his favor, its being unanimously conceded that he is the best municipal judge in the city.,V,H is also recommended by Attorney General McReynolds. We are not anarchistic and' don't favor any unlawful methods in any race, employs every means to keep the shackles on the Negro. Let President Wilson reappoint Judge Terrell. "A WISH AND A HOPE." William Ward Hayes, the veteran editor of The Independent (New York), has a forceful and interesting article in the 65th Anniversary num ber entitled, "A Wish and a Hope," in which he outlines his ideas of the future conduct of the magazine. He indicates some of the evils and injustices to which too many are blind in the order of their importance and he gives race prejudice the first place, as shown in the following quo tation from his article: "First, the selfish cruelty which condemns and penalizes socially and politically millions of our people be cause of their color. This hideous in justice debases or attempts to debase, one-eighth of our native citizens be cause they have more or less Negro blood. It also insults the three 0 1 IS VARDAMAN PRESIDENT?

That all of the whites do not in dorse Vardaman's ideas is shown in the following editorial from the St. Paul Dispatch: LET COLORED JUDGE STAY. President Wilson has a hard time of it placating the Southern fire-eat ers who see red every time it is pro posed to help the Negro. But he has gone far enough in that direction and public opinion will back him up in his apparent determination to reappoint Robert R. Terrell, a Negro, as munic ipal judge of the District of Colum bia. The public will be the more anxi ous that Judge Terrell be continued in office because Senator Vardaman of Mississippi has served notice on the President that he will oppose the appointment. It is nothing to Varda man that Terrell has served well as municipal judge. It is nothing to Vardaman that the retention of Judge! cused of Terrell in office will be an inspiration! white girl to other colored men in their struggle upward. Terrell is a "nigger" and that damns him in Vardaman's eyes. If there could be a more narrow view point than this, it has not been dis closed. Instead of condemning Ter rell, Vardaman condemns himself and that section of the white race which, instead of encouraging the colored emuuo UJ Asm, Oflina a pan and India, blocks our success in our island possessions, and invites our only danger of war. I would have The Independent fight this un-Chris tian spirit, not occasionally and half heartedly, but earnestly and persist ently." THE RACE IS RISING. The greatest fakers the world has produced have been Caucasians. The have fleeced their brethren out billions of dollars by means of all sorts of schemes from religion to tango. It would require too much space to even name the many plans of separating their victims from their coin. Some time since one Charles A. Lomax, an Afro-American, became a little enVious of the Caucasians who were extracting the "long green" from their confiding brethren and concluded that he could do something along that line himself. bomax conceived~the idea of teach ing colored men to be Pullman por ters by mail. Students sent in their Afrf: 4 money from all over the country. The "menace of Socialism." How about postofnee inspectors say he promised to get them positions and failed to make good. He was held to the grand jury. RAGE PREJUDICE. I am cpnyinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than Race Pre judice none at all.

In it Oswald Garrison Villard, the author, who is a grandson of the great abolitionist Wil liam Lloyd Garrison, takes the Wilson Administration to task for the great injustice of trying to establish caste in the republic. Every reader of THE APPEAL ought to purchase a copy of the North American Review, read the entire article and preserve the copy for his children's children to read. Now what do you think of this? Robert Threat of Arkansas was ac mistreating a 14-year-old He was sentenced to hang last Julyi but appealed to the Su prem eCourt and was granted a new trial and last week was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. It is strange that he ever had a trial and stranger still that after being sentenced to hang he was allowed to escape that penalty. Are the bloodthirsty South erners getting better? Brig.-Gen. John J. Pershing, former military governor of Mindanao, says that the Moros of the Philippine Isl ands have been pacified and that they will be good unless someone attempts to interfere with the Mohammedan religion. There is no reason why Americans should attempt to convert the Moros. They have a good reli gion and they are too shrewd to ac cept the jimcrow Christianity of the American Caucasians. The Afro-Americans of the District of Columbia ought to see to it that Judge Bundy of the Municipal Court is not reappointed. Any man who is so biased and full of race prejudice ought not to be a judge in a city having an Afro-American population of 100,000. A strong protest should be made against his appointment, is not fit to be a judge. Alfred, Noyes, an English poet, de clares that the age is drifting into materialism and away from idealism, on which poetry and the finer sensi bilities are founded. In this material ism lies danger of intellectual disin tegration. "The race is looking at life from an angle instead of full up on its beauty." Do not give up the fight on segre gation. Continue to write letters of protest to the president and members of the cabinet. Postmaster General Burleson seems to have more segre gation in his department so the bat tery of letters should be turned on him. The Richmond Planet says that it does not believe in the slogan, "Back jto the Farm," or in going backward at all. The Planet's~ldea is to keep 'going forward.

Careful inquiry by a representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and by newspaper men of the standing of Washington correspondents of the New York Evening Post and Boston Advertiser, has developed the fact that segregation of colored employees exists and is increasing, especially in the. Bureau of Engraving and Print ing, in the Post-Office Department, and in the office of the Auditor for the Post-Office, which is a part of the Treasury Department, and that it has begun in the Washington city ^ost office. As yet, segregation, has not been introduced in the Treasury Building, where there are two hun dred and seventy colored employees in the corridors and offices together with white clerks. It is defended by Mr. McAdoo as, "an effort to remove causes Of complaint and friction where white women hare been forced unnec essarily to sifcA^daaks with colored men." But Uteris no statement that there have been^many such complaints or that they were heard of under pre? vious Administrations. Nor is it ex plained why colored clerks are taken out of rooms in, which their sole com panions are white men, or why, if there should be segregation because of the women, the Government does not segregate all its women clerks. Nor does Mr. McAdoo record the fact that in many instances the white clerks, without respect to sex, have gone to their colored associates and expressed their complete dissent from the Government's caste undertaking. He indignantly denies that poorer quarters have been given to the segre gated, but eye-witnesses have told of colored women shut off in an unpleas ant alcove vin W: M-^+-3 1 one office of others face.

Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cher okee Indian as Register. When a group of citizens holds so few Federal offices as do the colored people, each one takes on a signifi cance far beyond any question of the salary or powers that may be attach ed to it. This is particularly true of the posts of Minister to Hayti and San Domingo. Not one of the stock Southern objections to Negro appoint ments holds here these ministers are accredited to colored people where the bogie of social equality cannot be raised. Under Mr. Wilson both of these posts have gone, temporarily, it is said, and doubtless for reasons satisfactory to Mr. Bryan, to white men. The colored people at large ac cepted this as notice from the White House that the remaining offices here tofore given to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this was, ,on top of it came the startling news that for the first time in the history of the Federal Government race prejudice was having full swing in some of the Departments at Wash-' ington. What had not been dreamed of under Mr. Cleveland, though begun in one office under Mr. Taft, was be ing attempted under Mr. Wilsonthe segregation of Negro clerks, both men and women. It appeared that the Sec retary of the Treasury had plannesd n^nortLL ?n F0 ft and in his various speeches prior ^l^ftr^T t?a!ld Mtowa, The readersan ouMjreu uie*huoverumeni's employ i *u fait in its justice, asking i tenn to on understande the humiliatioequafl war 'SStaXnX underworking,fla* thovstrucavo that aegis they are which their fetters from their limbs, should no take thef side of the oppressors in the year the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclama tionthis is what hurts and rankles beyond all else. Is It any wonder that one of the leaders of the race of na tional renown writes that he has never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as to-day? They rightly declare as must every fair-minded man free from prejudicethat this spells caste. They believe that it is intended to drive them out of the public service by ren dering it intolerable for Negroes with self-respect they assert that one of the Assistant Secretaries of the Treas ury has already held up the promo tion of two colored clerks because of their color. Segregation is, beyond doubt, an entering wedge, and here is the chief significance of it all. Let a precedent be established, and who shall say what the outcome will be, to what lengths despotic officials will take their way by means of discrimin ation, intimidation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall prophesy to what extent this caste idea may not be developed in the dec ades to come? If colored people can thus be set apart contrary to the spirit of the civil-service law and of the Constitution itself, why not others Jews, for instance? Indeed, it may come to pass that Mr. Wilson will go down to history as.the man who set in motion terrible forces for evil without adequate conception or prevision of the dangers he was inviting. jjjg philosophy, if he remains silent and segregates further will be wrong his democracy his book called "Th Ne Freedom, T^,,^ r++_. 4.1 v. 5 i iiuuier, will ue wrong,, aemourauy put- Patterson a* th-e bead of aonr ex- eraveiv, at fault- he has riven us clusivelv colored riivisi +i,e wd 0 clusivel colore division upon th graveiy at iauit, ne nas given us beautiful and worthy sentiments TLir^AA ueauuiui anu wormy senumenis iin an since his election to the dency. But nowhere thus far do we tSS^F^lX^ ZJ& find any indication that hi, democracy is not limited both by the sex line and the color line. He fails utterly to see that to discriminate in his democ racy against any one is to bring his whole carefully reared edifice crash ing to the ground. The principles upon which our democracy rests must apply to everybody without discrim ination, as exactly as a law of science, or they are open to doubt at once. Thus, we should not believe in the law of gravitation if it did not apply alike to every human beingf we should not think very much of Mr. Marconi's wireless invention if he could trans mit only the first half of the alpha bet and not the last. It avails the apologists for the President not at all to say that "The New Freedom" applies only to political and economic prob lems, for what is the whole race prob lem but an economic and political one? It would certainly be ridiculous for Mr. Wilson, or his publishers, to expect any appreciative reading among the millions of disfranchised Americans, whether they be colored men and women or white men and women, of his theory of the coming of a new political freedom at the very moment when there is placed upon the colored by two of his own Cabinet an official stigma which no amount of appointing to office will remove. What Mr. McAdoo does not appreciate is that the slight est yielding to prejudice on the part of a high Federal official will find a dozen imitators in the lower official ranks who think by outdoing their masters to curry favor with those in power. What he does not see is that if only one colored man or woman has been segregated it gives the deliberate lie to Mr Wilson's promise to advance the ^interests of the race and violates- his pledge of absolute fair dealing. The men who are injuring the President are not the defenders of this Government's repu tation for honor and of the rights of the colored people, but those subor dinates who by their official actions have made dubious the President's word. Wittingly or unwittingly the Wilson Administration has allied it self with the forces of reaction, and put itself on the side of every tor turer, of every oppresser, of every per-. petrator of racial injustice _in the South or the North. 2 Br- ,"C^ I But "the folly of raising this race issue does not stop there. It differs but very little from the one that rent the Union. The great struggle which .convulsed the United States was, in its simplest terms, nothing else than an attempt, quietly forced out of the lunch-room they had been using for nine years past and compelled to go into lava tories at the lunch-hour, of men clerks segregated behind lockers in one cor ner of a room- in the dead-letter divi sion of the Post-Office Department.
