Supreme Court in Segregation Case Defines Powers of 14th Amendment Over State Laws WASHINGTON, D. C.—The full opinion of the United States Supreme Court in the Louisville segregation case, which was rendered last week in favor of the Negroes of that city, and which affects all other segregation cases now pending in the courts throughout the country, has been issued in pamphlet form, showing that the criticism of the court in its condemnation of the obnoxious segregation finance more severe and sweeping than related by the press despatched. United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court holds that any person passed by a State to prevent the occupancy of a lot by a person of color a block where the greater number of residences are occupied by white persons is an interdiction based wholly on color—simply that and nothing Unite Brundale McKenna here; that the Federal Constitution and was passed within its authority are the supreme law of the land, and that the fourteenth Amendment protects life, liberty and property from invasion by the State without due process of law, property being more than a mere thing such a person owns. After reviewing the cause of action, growing out of the purchase of a plot ground in the so-called restricted district of Louisville by William Warley from Charles H. Buchanan, a white man, the court states that Warley averted in being deprived of the right to own the property by the Louisville authorities the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been violated. The contention of the Kentucky authorities has been that the property sold by Buchanan to Warley was in violation of the, segregation ordinance which makes it illegal for a colored person to occupy a lot in a district where most of the residents were white. The courts of Kentucky sustained this point of view. Measure Termed "Drastic." Considering the case upon its merits the highest court in the land says in part: "This ordinance prevents the occupancy of a lot in the City of Louisville by a person of color in a block where the greater number of residences are occupied by white persons; where such a majority exists colored persons are excluded. This interdiction is based wholly upon color; simply that and nothing more. In effect, premises situated, as are those in question in the so-called white block are effectively deferred from sale to persons of color, because if sold they cannot be occupied by the purchaser nor by him sold to another of the same color. This drastic measure is sought to be justified under the Authority of the State in the exercise of the police power. It is said such legislation tends to promote the public peace by preventing racial conflicts; that it tends to maintain racial purity; that it prevents the deterioration of property owned and occupied by white people, which deterioration, it is contended, is sure to follow the occupancy of adjacent premises by persons of color. The authority of the State to pass in the exercise of the police power, bearing for their object the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare is very broad as has been affirmed in numerous and recent decisions of the court. Furthermore the exercise this power, embracing nearly all indication of a local character is not be interfered with by the courts where it is within the scope of legislation authority and the means adduced reasonably tend to accomplish a lawful purpose. But it is equally well established that the police power, broad it is, cannot justify the passage of law or ordinance which runs counter the limitations of the Federal Constitution; that principle has been so supreme law of the land. The Fourth Amendment protects life, liberty, frequently affirmed in this court that we need not stop to cite the cases. Constitution Supreme Law of Land. "The Federal Constitution and laws passed within its authority are by the United States Supreme Court Pimsey White McKeynolds express terms of that instrument made and property from invasion by the states without due process of law. Property is more than the mere thing which a person owns. It is elementary that it includes the right to acquire, use, and dispose of it. Tile Constitution protects these essential attributes of property. Holden v. Hardy 169 U. S. 366, 391. Property consists of the free use, enjoyment, and disposal of a person's acquisitions without control or diminution save by the law of the land. 1 Blackstone's Commentaries, (Cooley's Ed.) 127. "True it is that dominion over property springing from ownership, is not absolute and unqualified. The disposition and use of property may be controlled in the exercise of the police power in the interest of the public health, convenience, or welfare. Harmful occupations may be controlled and regulated. Legitimate business may also be regulated in the interest of the public. Certain uses of property may be confined to portions of the municipality other than the resident district, such as liverystables, brickyards and the like, because of the impairment of the health and comfort of the occupants of neighboring property. Many illustrations might be given from the decisions of this court, and other courts, of this principle, but these cases do not touch the one at bar. "The concrete question here is: May the occupancy, and, necessarily, the purchase and sale of property of which occupancy is an incident, be inhibited by the states, or by one of its municipalities, solely because of the color of the proposed occupant of the premises? That one may dispose of his property, subject only to the control of lawful enactments curtailing that right in the public interest, must be conceded. The question now presented makes it pertinent to enquire into the constitutional right of the white man to sell his property to a colored man, having in view the legal status of the purchaser and occupant. War Amendments Equality Binding On All States. "Following the Civil war certain amendments to the Federal Constitution were adopted, which have become an integral part of that instrument, equally binding upon all the states and fixing certain fundamental rights which all are bound to respect. The Fourteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States and in all places subject to their jurisdiction, and gave Congress power to enforce the Amendment by appropriate legislation. The Fourteenth Amendment made all persons born or naturalized in the United States, citizens of the United States, and of the States in which they reside, and provided that no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, and that no State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, not deny to any person the equal protection of the laws. "The effect of these amendments was furthered by law. While the practice pur- Slaughter House' of Cases, 16 Wallace 36. The reason for the adoption of the amendments were elaborately considered by a court familiar with the times in which the necessity for the amendments arose and with the circumstances which impelled their adoption. In that case Mr. Justice Miller, who spoke for the majority, pointed out that the colored race, having been freed from slavery by the Thirteenth Amendment, was raised to the dignity of citizenship and equality of civil rights by the Fourteenth Amendment, and the States were prohibited from abridging the privileges and immunities of such citizens, or depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due Court. Clarke Van Devanter pose of the latter amendment was to protect persons of color, the broad language used was deemed sufficient to protect all persons, white or black, against discriminatory legislation by the States. Thus is now the settled law. "Mr. Justice Strong, speaking for the court, again reviewed the history of the Amendments, and among other things, in speaking of the Fourteenth Amendment, said: "It (the Fourteenth Amendment) was designed to assure to the colored race the enjoyment of all the civil rights that under the law are enjoyed by white persons, and to give to that race the protection of the general government, in that enjoyment, whenever it should be denied by the States. It not only gave citizenship and privileges of citizenship to persons of color but it denied to any State the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws, and authorized Congress to enforce its provisions by appropriate legislation. It ordains that no State shall make or enforce any laws which may abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. It ordains that no State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "What is this but declaring that the laws in the States shall be the same for the black as for the white, that all persons, whether colored or white, shall stand equal before the laws of the States, and, in regard to the colored race, (for whose protection the Amendment was primarily designed) that no discrimination shall be made against them by law because of their color." "The Fourteenth Amendment makes no attempt to enunciate the rights it designs to protect. It speaks in general terms and those are as comprehensive as possible. Its language is prohibitory, but every prohibition implies the existence of rights and immunities, prominent among which is an immunity from inequality of legal protection either for life, liberty or property. Any State action which denies this immunity to a colored man is in conflict with the Constitution. "Again this court in Ex parte Virginia, 100 U. S. 339, 347, speaking of the Fourteenth Amendment, said: "Whoever, by virtue of public position under a State Government, deprives another of property, life or liberty, without due process of law, or denies or takes away the equal protection of the laws, violates the constitutional inhibition; and as he acts in the name and for the State and is clothed with the State's power, his act is that of the State."

MONEY FOR COMMISSIONERS USED FOR THE Department to The New York Borough Court, Law. the parish for failure to pay their poll tax has brought forth the acknowledgment from white people in the parish that the officials take and use for the education of the white children money that should go and belongs to Negro children for their education. Wilbur H. Kramer, writing in The St. Mary Banner with reference to the non-collection of poll taxes from the colored people says in part: "The State of Louisiana annually appropriates a definite per capita sum of money for each educable child in each parish. The school board of the parish and of most parishes in this State do not near expend this amount, appropriated for the colored children by the State, in their education. The money derived by the school board from the parish, from the collection of general and special taxes, from fines and forfeitures of bonds and from poll taxes, every single dollar thereof is spent on the education of white children, and not a single dollar upon the education of colored children. "The deficit which has arisen in the school system of this Parish is not due to the maintenance of the colored schools of this parish, but to the maintenance of the white schools. If the additional revenue was given to the source from whence it came, the relief to the present school deficit, so earnestly desired by the Grand Jury and every good citizen, would not be given." PLAYGROUND PROVIDED IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA. JACKSONVILLE, FLA—Through the efforts of Miss Eartha M. M. White, president of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the city authorities have at last provided a playground for colored children. The City Council appropriated $600 to begin work on the playground, which is a large tract on Missouri street and Second avenue. Work is to begin at once, fitting it up for immediate use. Mr. Conroy, Dr. Haskell and Mr. Genovar have all along shown a friendly spirit to this project. TEST OF DEMOCRACY "We are all of the same clay and spirit, and we can get to; gether if we desire to get together. Therefore, my counsel to you is this: Let us show ourselves Americans by showing that we do not want to go off in separate camps or groups by ourselves, but that we want to cooperate with all other classes and all other groups in a common enterprise, which is to release the spirit of the world from bondage. I would be willing to set that up as the final test of American. That is the opening of democracy."—President Wilson in his Buffalo speech, November 12, 1817. NOISE VS. INFLUENCE. NOISE VS. INFLUENCE. An analysis of the vote cast in the two Harlem assembly districts—the 19th and 21st—where the majority of voters are Negroes shows that Mayer Mitchell received more votes in that section than both Bennett and Hilquit combined. This was done in spite of the campaign of vilification and neoimaking conducted by papers and soap-box eraters on behalf of Bennett and Hilquit. Figures do not lie, and the question of who wielded the most influence in Harlem—who are the prime factors in the community life of the city—may be gleaned from the following: Nineteenth Assembly District—Mitchel, 2,971; Hilquit, 1,869; Bennett, 1,074. Twenty-first Assembly District—Mitchel, 3,200; Hilquit, 1,410; Bennett, 802. CHURCH TREASURER DIES AFTER BIG RALLY David E. Springs, treasurer of the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Brooklyn, died suddenly at his home 347 Bridge street, Brooklyn, late Monday evening after having attended a meeting of church officers, at which the proceeds of the fall rally, amounting to over $3,000, were turned over to him for safekeeping. Dr. F. M. Jacobs, who was summoned to the bedside, stated that Mr. Springer's death was probably brought on by the excitement attending the rally closing. "JACK" NAIL WEDS MRS. GRACE MORRIS The marriage of John E. Nail and Mrs. Grace Morris, well known in New York, was solemnized Saturday, the Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor of the Salem M E. Church officiating. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Nail, well known New Yorkers, and is a member of the Nail and Parker Real Estate Company, which has put through some big operations in the realty world in recent years. SCOTT VISITS TRAINING CAMPS IN THE SOUTH ATLANTA, Ga.-Hon Emmett J. Scott, recently appointed special assistant to Newton R. Baker, Secretary of War, at Washington, D.C., is in the South on official detail, visiting various cantonments including Camp Sheridan, at Montgomery, Alabama and Camp Gordon, at Atlanta, Ga. While here he conferred with Major General Eben Swift, Commanding General, and Col. Hunter B Nelson, who is to have charge of training the colored soldiers at Camp Gordon, every courtesy possible being extended him by these military officials. Mr. Scott inspected the barracks, kitchens, infirmary and the splendid Y M. C. A building provided for the colored soldiers. He was accompanied to Camp Gordon by Dr. Charles H. Johnson, the well-known Atlanta physician, who, with his wife, Mrs. Carrie Bryant Johnson, gave a dinner in honor of the well-known Tuskegee at her home, Saturday evening, November 10, to which were invited Dr. J.

'SALUTE NEGRO OFFICERS SAYS EX-CONFEDERATE (Special to The New York Act) LOUISVILLE—Louisville, in which much of the spirit of the old South still lives, putting aside racial feeling and personal prejudice, has settled for itself, patriotically and unreservedly, the question of the propriety of white soldiers saluting Negro officers. This question, which came to the fore recently, was on first thought answered negatively, but later a way was found to reconcile inherent convictions with military regulations. The solution reached was that an officer should not be regarded as a personality toward whom the salute was directed, but that the military viewpoint which makes the salute homage to the country a uniform and honorable thing. ```markdown ``` acy, later Colonel of the National Guard regiment and a Brigadier General of Volunteers who saw active service in Porto Rico during the Spanish-American war. He said: "The discipline of the army must be maintained, and non-commissioned officers understand little of the spirit of the army when they refuse to salute a Negro officer. I have held several commissions in the military service, and I unhesitatingly say that I would, or will, at any time salute an officer, superior or inferior, who salutes me without regard to the color of his skin. The regulations, the laws and the fundamentals of courtesy and discipline upon which these regulations and laws are based prescribe this. It is no time to stand against them. I want to urge every soldier to be a soldier in the full sense of the term. We are at war, and soldiers are under the rules of the American Army. We are all one under the flag. We salute the rank, not the individual." The incident which brought forth General Castleman's statement occurred here recently when two white soldiers refused to salute Captain Glass, a colored officer. FURNISS ELECTED CITY COUNCILMAN (Special to The New York Age.) INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-Dr. Summer R. Furniss was elected councilman from the Fourth Ward Tuesday of last week, winning by a large plurality. The Fourth Ward is in a "colored" section and Dr. Furniss received 95 per cent of the vote cast. Due to Dr. Furniss' name on the Republican ticket the colored voters raled to the support of the Republican candidate for Mayor, Charles W. Jowett, who was elected by a small plurality. BOSTON MAN LEAVES (Special to The New York Agu) Tuskegee, ALA — Tuskegee Institute was a business man, $20,000 by Robey D. Evans, a business man, in Boston, who was deeply interested in New education. Hampton was left $25,000 by Tuskegee Institute also received $1,000 from the Sellman estate, New York, and the Leverett estate, Boston. THE MOB SPIRIT. "I have been very much distressed, my fellow-citizens, by some of the things that have happened recently. The mob spirit is displaying itself here and there in this country. I have no sympathy with what some men are saying but I have no sympathy with the man that take their punishment into their own hands, and I want to say to every man who does join such a mob that I do not recognize him as worthy of the free institutions of the United States."—President Wilson in his Buffalo speech, November 12, 1917. Soldier Vote of Fifteenth and Colored Conscripts Expected to Change Vote in Favor of Thomas—Ballots will Not be Counted Until December 18. Upon application of James C. Thomas, Jr., the Supreme Court of Tuesday directed the Board of Elections to recount and recanvase the votes cast for alderman in the Twenty-sixth Aldermanic District the charge being made by Mr. Thomas, the Republican candidate that Frank Mullen, his domestic opponent, secured a plurality by fraud. The order was made returnable Thursday, and a recount of votes will be sometime next week. It is expected that some starting disclosures will be made, showing that crooked voters were adopted to have Mullen abolished the winner. less section and when the battle turns were brought in Mullen the men come Thomas' plurality and assumed a commanding lead of nearly four hundred dotes. Although, the vote Wedec- day afternoon stood: Thomas, 1,962; Mullen, 1,754; later in the day the returns read: Mullen, 2,782; Thomas, 2,384. The six missing districts are supposed to have made this radical change. James C. Thomas, Jr., charges that evidence of irregularities has been secured. For instance, in the 17th Election District of the 21st Assembly District the following results were reported by the Republican captain of the district: Thomas, 178; Mullen, 14. However at the Police Station Thomas had strangely lost fifty votes, the returns reading: Thomas, 128; Mullen, 14. Mr. Thomas alleges that the "seven" in 179 was changed to a "two." Soldier Vote to Decide. "With a recount and the votes I shall receive from the colored soldiers I feel confident of winning out in my fight for alderman," Mr. Thomas stated to an Ace representative. "The soldier vote will not be counted until December, 18 and it is estimated that I should receive not less than one thousand additional votes." His vote should come from members of the Fifteenth Regiment and colored conscripts residing in the Harlem section, and I understand they were almost to a man in favor of my candidacy." In eight election districts where the vote is solidly colored in Harlem 1385 ballots were cast for James C. Thomas, Jr., and 148 for Frank Mullen. Colored workers for James C. Thomas, Jr., deplore the fact that there are some Negroes who still barter their vote on election day, putting a $2 bill above race pride and everything else. Colored Tammany workers were active in asking Negroes to remain neutral in the aldermanic fight and not vote for anyone. It is charged that colored men, particularly in the vicinity of Fifth and Madison avenues, were not above disgirting themselves for $2. The attempt of the Tammany candidate and his friends to inject the race issue in the aldermanic fight is said to have been deeply regretted by Thomas F. McAvoy and other Tammany leaders who are seeking to win over the colored vote. Several days before election circulations were given out in the white sections of the aldermanic district, which read: Do you want your alterman to be a Negro? James C. Thomas, Jr., is a colored man. Vote for Frank Mullen, who has been your alderman for four years. The contensus of opinion in Harlem is that James C. Thomas, Jr., was contended out in favor of his democratic component, and many are voluntarily coming forward and contributing to the fund being collected to carry on the recent and recavass. The Twenty-sixth Aldermanic District takes in four assembly districts as follows: Fourteen election districts in the 21st, ten in the 22nd, three in the 19th, one in the 20th Assembly District.

Sarders, U. S. R. who says he was compelled to flee from his home in Vicksburg, Miss., in civilian clothes to save his parents from the violence of white soldiers, who had warned him to leave town. Lieut. Sanders, who was awarded a second lieutenant's commission at Fort Des Moines, Ia., in October, is now in St. Louis, where he first told of the indignities to which he had been subjected. He has complained to the War Department that he was set upon by citizens of Vicksburg, the home of his parents, when he visited them after receiving his commission, and after being advised to remove his uniform, fled from that city in civilian clothes. He now is stationed at Fort Dodge, Ia. His story of the incident is: "I arrived in Vickershaw on Oct. 18 and was met by a pittown of white soldiers standing around the station. They did not make any attempt to render any military courtesy whatsoever, but that was all right and I did not say anything to any of them. "I was met on the streets by the same soldiers and they called me all kinds of names, and said I need not look to them for a salute for I would not get it. And I was knocked off the sidewalks, on several occasions and then cursed and bordered to get out of my uniform and leave town and not show up on the streets. "I left in disguise and my mother brought my clothes up to me at Greenvill. Miss. On the following day I left there for St Louis." I leutentant Sanders (said two police officers) called on him at his parents home and ordered him to get out of his uniform and to leave town. At first he refused to comply with this order but when he saw a crowd was forming he demanded for the government to lift the parish and parish council to do an in-vestigation of the door and door he got away through the rear door of the house. Quinquae he was accosted by a crowd which let him pass after a short questioning. He believes he was not recognized in the civilian clothes he wore. JUBILANT IN BALTIMORE OVER COURT'S DECISION (Bspecial to The New York Army BALTIMORE, Md.-Despite the decision of the United States Supreme Court abrogating residence immigration laws, there is an abundance of whites here who may be a way will be found to circumvent the decision. Among these are Mayor Preston and City Solicitor Fields. Fields has announced that he will have to study the decision before giving an opinion throug In the meaning of local legislation law is in force hailed into the Southwestern Police Court on Wednesday of last week, charged with moving into 1615 W. Lexington street, which segregationists want to construe as being in a white block. The 1600 block of Lexington street, is bisected by a small street, and Burrell moved into the part which only has white residents. His case came up before the Grand Jury Monday, but at the request of Deputy State's Attorney Marchant, consideration was postponed until the Court of Appeals decides some cases before it involving the legality of the local law. Baltimore was the first city to enact a segregation law. The law had to be ratified several times, however, to meet adverse decisions by Maryland courts. Its operation here has resulted in the circumserching of residence districts among colored people, and a big rise in rents and in properties that the colored people wanted to buy. In well-informed legal circles there exists the general opinion that the law invades property and personal rights, which have been upheld for centuries under the old English common law. The colored people are highly elated over the decision, as the operation of the law has given rise to much prejudice against the race and caused race clamor. some of the farmers have been and have two good jobs. The decision means that this attempt to prevent Miyagi Collage from locating in the sarbarie and the development of a colored residence section at Goya, a suburb, will fail. The Y. M. C. A. was forced by segregation to abandon a contemplied site and colored people were not allowed to buy the property. SCOTT VISITS TRAINING and blue, tiny flags decorating the salads and the various courses, streamers being used to encircle the dining room. At Montgomery, where the Ninth Separate Battalion of the Ohio National Guard is stationed with the Ohio troops, a meeting was arranged the General Smith, Commanding General, last week, at which Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Mr. Scott spoke. Both speakers called to the fact that the colored soldiers at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, had won the respect and confidence of the citizens of Montgomery, both white and colored, by their orderly deportment on the streets and in the camp, and commended them for keeping in mind the fact that they are serving their country and their race in a representative capacity, and that their conduct would largely determine the respect and confidence to be accorded their race now and hereafter. Major John C. Fulton, in charge of the battalion of 260 colored soldiers located at Montgomery thanked Dr. Moton and Mr. Scott for their visit and for the program which had been rendered for their benefit and entertainment by the Tuskegee Institute singers and by Charles Winter Wood, the well known dramatic reader who is a member of the Tuskegee Institute faculty. At Camp Gordon, Atlanta, and at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery to Mr. Scott called attention to the just and impartial attitude of the Secretary of War Hon Newton D. Baker, and his commitment to have the sympathetic co-operation of white and colored citizens alike in connection with such delicate situations as may arise from time to time, to the end that the serious and thoughtful people of the country may be safely relied upon to help in dealing wisely and temperately with such situations. URBAN LEAGUE NASHVILLE TENN.-Dr George E. Hayne has issued the following statement concerning the progress of the work of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes "After nearly two years delicate efforts in Memphis, Tenn., a strong organization has been formed out of the several interests among colored people. The new organization has drawn in the strongest colored people of the city and has secured a standing advisory committee from the allied business and professional interests of the white people. The Center Commissionetter, Cattahanna, Tenn., organized after my visit last year, has done some substantial work and now applies for membership in the League. "On a recent visit there I succeeded in tying the League un to two of the strong white social betterment organizations of that city. "In a visit to Birmingham, Alabama, last week the several interests represented by the churches, lodges, women clubs, business and professional people agreed to form a central organization After several conferences they appointed a nominating committee of nine men and two women to select an Executive Board of twenty-one and to start it on its work as a clearing house for the interests of the colored people. These leaders were connected up with two of the strongest white leaders in social betterment of the city. "Here in Nashville we have begun our most auspicious year yet.

According to the Associated Press despatches from the French front, two hundred and sixty-four personal citations for bravery have been won by the Negro soldiers of a single Somali battalion since it landed in France in June, 1916. Of these citations, 199 were gained in the fierce battles in the vicinity of the Alane and the remalder in the neighborhood of Verdun. The Somalis, many of whom were recruited in British Somaliland, are very independent in character, and find the discipline of an organized army very severe. Their French officers, however, are accustomed to deal with these freedom-loving tribesmen, and, by appealing to their pride of race and their self-respect, obtain their devoted obedience to such an extent that they rapidly become excellent soldiers. These men learn to handle modern infantry weapons quickly, and, furnish many specialists in the grenade throwing and machine gun sections of brench reconnaissance for the men, are of very high intelligence, and full of natural initiative—very valuable adjuncts in these branches of brench while at hand grenade throwing they are second to none in the army. The Sonalis, who are strict Mohammedans, never touch wine or alcohol. In fact, they look on any man given antitoxication With the greatest disdain They are self-sacrining to a decree, as was evidenced during their attack on La Rovelle, when they had to clean out the shellers in a trench which they had just captured and which were still full of Germans who had taken refuge there from the bombardment. One of the sergeants was about to enter a dugout keeper who prined enemies when he was pushed inside by a Sonali private with the exclamation, "Let me go first. You are a married man." A widely prevalent fallacy has charged the Negroes with savagery against their captives. Their officers say this charge has been disproved time and again after fights at Verdun, in Champagne, and north of the Aisne. The Associated Press correspondent saw Negro troopers bringing in batches of prisoners after a battle at La Bovelle, when a French artilleryman approached them to take one of the prisoner's shoulder straps as a squirrel. One of the Negro escort, however, became indignant and shouted: "Over there in the trenches you might have taken one, but now that the Germans' are prisoners they must be protected." And the artilleryman had to go away, without his squirrel. 11-12-13 the tenth annual chrysanthemum, was held Nov. 7. The exhibit consisted of all kinds and varieties of chrysanthemums. The history of the Chrysanthemum Show at Tuskegee Institute furnishes an interesting element in the character of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of the Institute. Years ago he traveled through Macon County, he was much impressed with the absence of flowers in the front and back yards and of home gardens. To stimulate interest in growing flowers and in making home surroundings more attractive, Dr Washington enlisted the services of a committee of wives of members of the faculty and placed the matter in their charge.

Interest in the Chrysanthemum Show has been greatly stimulated by the valuable prizes which are given each year. The two most important of these prizes are the Principal's Prize given by Dr Moton, and the Founder's Prize given by Mrs. Booker T. Washington. Both are for ten dollars. Mr. Julius Rosenwald gives twenty-five dollars each year towards the prize fund of the Chrysanthemum Show, and this is supplemented by small amounts of cash from friends and teachers and material prizes donated by the whitee merchants of the town of Tuskegee. Thus from its modest beginning ten years ago the Chrysanthemum Show has developed into one of the most important activities of the school year. The committee in charge were: M. dames Emmett j. Scott, Chairman; J. H. Washington j. W. Yates, M. D. Garner and D. A. Williston. VOORHEEES NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL DENMARK, S.

The Institute choir rendered very effectively "One Sweetly Solemn Thought;" the quintet, "Still, Still With Thee;" and the entire audience joined heartily in singing, "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," a favorite melody both of Dr. Frissel and Dr. Washington.

But do it with (Kink-no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on north Kink and on the west kind of hair.

In considering the many forms of injustice practised against the Negro, we are prone to fall into the blindness of sectionalism, attributing all the sins of intolerance and proscription to the South and crediting the North with all the fair-mindedness and liberalism. That this is not strictly true, we were unpleasantly reminded by the narrow and bigoted utterances of a New York daily in an editorial criticizing the decision of the Supreme Court in the matter of segregation. Committed with this was the broad and literal treatment of the same question by a leading North Carolina law. The New York paper whose utterances seemed so inconsistent with its former history and policy was the Evening Mail. As the Mail and Express, under the ownership of the late Col. Elliott F. Shepard, this same paper was notable for its stalwart Republicanism and advocacy of human rights. In recent years, with its committal to a Progressive and pro-German policy, there has been a tendency to exalt white supremacy in its columns. But in its defence of the Louisville segregation ordinance it out-heroded Herod defending it as "a law which recognized the realities of the situation and met those realities squarely." Not satisfied with endorsing segregation, the Mail editor exalted the principle of "Jim Crow" cars, and suppression of the suffrage, as these obtain in the South. Presumably he would welcome the extension of these blessings to the North. Incidentally, he suggests that the result of the decision "will probably be that a way will be found to break the law." His final pronouncement is a depencliation of "shams," under which head he seems to class all the rights and privileges sought to be conferred in the equality of citizenship set forth in the Constitution as amended. Verily it looks as if the Mail had taken a leaf from the Abbeville, S. C., Scimitar, which the Government recently suppressed and jailed its scurrilous and treasonable editor. In contrast to the fretful petulance of the Mail is the attitude of the Raleigh Times on the same subject. While the practice of segregation is approved of when brought about by voluntary action of property owners, the decision of the Supreme Court is hailed as marking a reaction against the habit of assuming that the Constitution contains nothing that is sacred against A recent study of history segregation has been argued for the rural districts of North Carolina moves the Times to express the hope that "We will now, we trust, have heard the last of these half-baked appeals to demagoguery in this State." The striking dissimilarity between the manner in which the New York editor and the North Carolina editor accept the decision is hard to explain. The former is anarchistic in resenting the decision to his feeble utmost, the latter accepts it in the interest of the good of the whole country and not that of any particular section. It is not hard to decide which is the better citizen, irrespective of the section in which he resides and helps to make opinion. The Mail is too big a paper to have such a small-caliber writer on its staff as the one who wrote on "Race Legislation." It should strive to get back to the high ground it formerly took for human rights. A SUCCESSFUL AGENT. A SUCCESSFUL AGENT. The first issue in November marked the fourth anniversary of Mr. C. E. Epps as agent and correspondent for THE AGE at Plainfield, N. J. Beginning with five copies weekly, by dint of hard work and persistency, Mr. Epps is now handling over two hundred papers every week. This success has not been achieved without many struggles and in spite of handicaps. But Mr. Epps has surmounted them all, and by application and industry rolled up the handsome circulation reported. Best of all, he has kept his accounts accurately and met his bills promptly, proving himself a master of businesslike methods. We would be glad to possess many more agents of his kind, although their number is steadily increasing. It is to be regretted that those Negroes in Harlem who supported Tammany Hall in the recent municipal election placed their allegiance to that ancient organization above their loyalty to race, and voted against the aldermanic candidate racially allied with them. The cause of the race should have transcended all political claims in such an issue. It also looks as if the Negroes who dallied with the lure of Socialism were equally regardless of the tie that should bind, but which failed to do so in this instance. Despite these drawbacks, the colored candidate made a good run, and had he received the votes of the colored followers of Socialism who tried to break up a Fusion meeting by cheering him, the result today would not be in doubt. The call of race solidarity evidently fell on some deaf ears in the aldermanic contest in Harlem. It is not too early to begin thinking about making Christmas a cheerful occasion for the soldiers, especially the members of the Fifteenth Regiment. Donations of articles of comfort and remembrance can be sent through the Woman's Auxiliary, which has made this organization its special charge. Contributions of money for smokes or other gifts can also be sent to Tire Age, which will transmit same to the Auxiliary. The headquarters of the Woman's Auxiliary is at 2217 Seventh avenue, New York City.. We are glad to note that Editor John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Planet, has been relieved from the charge of contempt of court, recently preferred against him and the editor of the News Leader of the same place by Judge Huntley of the Circuit Court of Charlotte County. From all we have read of the case there was an expression of healthy indignation on the part of the editors concerned over a judicial miscarriage of justice. But contempt hardly seemed to fit the facts presented. THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN Down in Mississippi they are having what they think are labor troubles. Now, labor troubles in Mississippi are entirely different from labor troubles in Massachusetts. Labor troubles in Massachusetts imply a strike or an absolute scarcity of men. I do not suppose that the whole history of Mississippi records such a thing as a strike; and I do not doubt that there are two men for every decent job in the state. Mississippi they are having what the labor troubles in Mississippi are lies in Massachusetts. Labor troubles lie or an absolute scarcity of men, history of Mississippi records such as that there are two men for every constitutes the labor troubles in Maryland affect the farms, and are causes of labor; by the fact that they job. The state of affairs has been broadly formerly the white Mississippi farm shares or by tenants has been able to and to pocket all the profits; at the end who ever made any profits by the farm. This the white land own great surplus of Negro farm labor, these land owners find that there is land; and, naturally, that calls for highrations. These Mississippiians have a problem before. They have no hands as they wanted and on the called in expert advice. As Director E. R. Lloyd of the Medical College. He addressed the man that they needed to take immediate the winter. He pointed out that State was still going on and that farm work was completed unless someone by supplying year-round employment his plan for securing the deep sections, one for the indefinite immediate present. Here is the plan: As condition we farmers must reorganize them provide profitable work one this we will not only be able and the farm bringing in an income be found with that. It is progress principles that could not possibly immediate present: Being, however, the farmers need as fencing, ditching, clearing and make definite yearly contracts 100 days." Effects for work on a Mississippi farm "contracts" bind the planters to furnish and wages throughout the year? Simply give the planters an option, and under such a "contract" a quit his job could be arrested and made to work for nothing, instead of urging the Mississippi are methods, is advising them to less than a form of peonage. intelligent colored people tell these in a contract. There is too great a country at good wages for any down in Mississippi, to subject he are proposed by Director Lloyd. What then constitutes the labor troubles in Mississippi? These troubles particularly affect the farms, and are caused by the fact that there is not a surplus of labor; by the fact that there are not four or five men for every job. This deplorable state of affairs has been brought about by the Negro exodus. Formerly the white Mississippi farmer who has had his land worked on shares or by tenants has been able to get it done for practically nothing and to pocket all the profits; at least, I have never heard of any Negro who ever made any profits by working as a tenant on a Mississippi farm. This the white land owner was able to do because, of the great surplus of Negro farm labor. At present these land owners find that there is just about enough labor to go around; and, naturally, that calls for higher wages and better working conditions. These Mississippiians have never been confronted with such a problem before. They have always been able to get as many Negro hands as they wanted and on their own terms. In their dilemma, they called in expert advice. The expert was Director E. R. Lloyd of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. He addressed the farmers at Starkville and told them that they needed to take immediate steps to hold their labor through the winter. He pointed out that the movement of Negroes from the State was still going on and that it would increase as soon as the farm work was completed unless steps were taken to keep the labor at home by supplying year-round employment. He then proceeded to unfold his plan for securing the desired result. This plan falls into two sections, one for the indefinite future and the other for the immediate present. Here is the plan as presented for the indefinite future: "To meet this condition we farmers must reorganize our systems of farming to make them provide profitable work the year round. When we have done this we, will not only be able to keep plenty of labor, but will find the farm bringing in an income every month in the year." No fault can be found with that. It is progressive and is founded on solid economic principles that could not possibly fail. But here is the plan for the immediate present: "For the time being, however, the farmers need to provide emergency work such as fencing, ditching, clearing and fall plowing in order that they can make definite yearly contracts with their Negroes during the next 30 days." Yearly contracts for work on a Mississippi farm. It is to laugh. Would these "contracts" bind the planters to furnish their hands with steady employment and wages throughout the year? Not at all. These "contracts" would simply give the planters an option on the labor and time of these men, and under such a "contract" any Negro who for whatever reason quit his job could be arrested and eventually thrown into the chain-gang and make to work for nothing. Inspector Lloyd, instead of urging the Mississippi farmers to adopt at once progressive methods, is advising them to take advantage of what is nothing less than a form of peonage. Let the intelligent colored people tell these farm hands not to sign any sort of a contract. There is too great a demand for free labor all over the country at good wages for any able-bodied man, even a farm-hand down in Mississippi, to subject himself to any such feudal conditions as are proposed by Director Lloyd. ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE o ago the New York daily paper, barbarity that has yet come out of word is not strong enough, nor is the word in the English language to hold by Captain David Fallon, a young diploli and Belgian campaigns, who instructors at their dinner a few ninen told his hearers how he had Belgium by nailing her to the door of the captain's speech clipped frogs gives the story in his own words. "I said the young captain, "I saw a door of her convent, and within the consecrated their lives to the beach to the poor, cut to pieces and mutilated saw an aged blacksmith, his foldes note on his breast proclaiming in Geir horses of our enemies." A day or two ago the New York daily papers carried the most horrible story of barbarity that has yet come out of the war. I said "barbarity"; the word is not strong enough, nor is the word "atrocity"; in fact, there is no word in the English language to express the character of the story told by Captain David Fallon, a young Irish-Australian veteran of the Gallipoli and Belgian campaigns, when he spoke before the Society of Illustrators at their dinner a few nights ago. Captain Fallon told his hearers how he had seen the Germans crucify a nun in Belgium by nailing her to the door of the convent. But here is a part of the captain's speech clipped from one of the morning papers, which gives the story in his own words: "In Belgium," said the young captain, "I saw a Mother Superior crucified to the door of her convent, and within the bodies of noble women, who had consecrated their lives to the teaching of the young and ministering to the poor, cut to pieces and mutilated. "In Belgium I saw an aged blacksmith, his folded hands pinned to his anvil, and a note on his breast proclaiming in German 'He will shoe no more of the horses of our enemies.'" Germans Cut Britons' Heads Off. we our turn our boys went into the trench happened to your boys, the trenches was over some of our boys were misshits. Cutting them from their bodies ayonets above the trenches, scarcely the word came, our boys waited for and in the enemy's trenches. There were disembowled and otherwise multilayer we vowed that never again would we on reading this revolting narrat is bragging or lying. That he was in the eyes of his lady listeners, "When it came our turn our boys went into the tranches to do their bit. And, as has happened to your boys, the trenches were raided, and when the clash was over some of our boys were missing. The next day we saw their heads. Cutting them from their bodies, the Boches had stuck them on bayonets above the trenches, scarce fifty yards away. That true, when the word came, our boys waited for no barrage before they went over and in the enemy's trenches. There we found our comrades crucified and disembowled and otherwise mutilated. And then and there, gentlemen, we vowed that never again would we spare a German life." My first impulse on reading this revolting narration was to say that Captain Fallon was bragging or lying. That he was talking to magnify himself, especially in the eyes of his lady listeners, or that he was purposefully distorting and inventing facts in order to stir up a feeling of revenge against the Germans. No doubt his words had both effects, for the accounts of the speech state that he thrilled the 200 artists, as in "words that went through every man and woman present like a bayonet thrust," he cited instance after instance of the debauched cruelty of German soldiers perpetrated against civilian and foe. I was not present so did not get the thrill. What I got was a feeling of indignation that this Captain Fallon would come to New York for the purpose of making us believe that Germans or any other civilized people would commit such acts either in war or peace; and I made a clipping of the account with the intention of writing an article stating that we had enough to fight the Germans about with- In filing the clipping, I came across two other clippings from the hearings before the Committee on Rules in the House of Representatives at Washington on August 3. I read through these two clippings and was immediately ready to apologize to Captain Fallon for my doubts regarding his sincerity and veracity. These clippings contained the statements of Congressman Dyer and Congressman Rodenberg before the committee regarding the East St. Louis riots. Congressman Dyer said: One man in particular who spee United/States Army Reserve Corp Washington somewhere, he having o General. At the time of these happenings he ermant, but he was there on some that he saw a part of this killing, and in yards, which were waiting for the merce.

He saw the most dastardated in this country, and this hers; and my opinion is that n. One man in particular who spoke to me is now an officer in the United States Army Reserve Corps, Lieut. Arbuckle, who is here in Washington somewhere, he having come here to report to the Adjutant General. At the time of these happenings he was not in the employ of the Government, but he was there on some business in East St. Louis. He said that he saw a part of this killing, and he saw them burning railway cars in yards, which were waiting for transport, filled with interstate commerce. He saw members of the militia of Illinois shoot Negroes. He saw policemen of the city of East St. Louis shoot Negroes. He saw this mob go to the homes of these Negroes and nail boards up over the doors and windows and then set fire and burn them up. He saw them take little children out of the arms of their mothers and throw them into the fires and burn them up. He saw the most dastardly and most criminal outrages ever perpetrated in this country, and this is undisputed. And I have talked with others; and my opinion is that over 500 people were killed on this occasion. Congressman Rodenberg said: Now, the plain, unvarnished true Secretary Baker, is that civil governor collapsed at the time of the riot. The description. It is impossible for any and brutality of that mob. In one of boy, whose mother had been shot and looking for his mother, and some and before his life had passed from him and threw him in the flames.

We again apologize. Now, the plain, unvarnished truth of the matter, as Mr. Joyce told Secretary Baker, is that civil government in East St. Louis completely collapsed at the time of the riot. The conditions there at the time beggar description. It is impossible for any human being to describe the ferocity and brutality of that mob. In one case, for instance, a little 10-year-old boy, whose mother had been shot down, was running around sobbing and looking for his mother, and some members of the mob shot the boy, and before his life had passed from his body they picked the little fellow up and threw him in the flames. Another colored woman with a little 2-year-old baby in her arms was trying to protect the child, and they shot her and also shot the child, and threw them in the flames. The horror of that tragedy in East St. Louis can never be described. It weighted me down with a feeling of depression that I did not recover from for weeks. We know the statements made by these two members of Congress to be true. Therefore, since civilized Americans could commit such acts against other unoffending Americans in peace, there is no reason to doubt that Germans would commit the acts related by Captain Fallon against their foes in war. We again apologize to Captain Fallon. A VITAL DECISION. The New York election, the Italian disaster and the swift changes in the Russian situation took the public attention away from one of the most important decisions ever rendered by the Supreme Court. This decision on the Louisville case makes segregation unconstitutional and nullifies all such ordinances as have been passed by Southern and border cities. The New York election, the Itali in the Russian situation took the purist most important decisions ever rend decision on the Louisville case make nullifies all such ordinances as had border cities. The decision was vital because upon it. Had the case been lost, theigation ordinances would have been where there was a considerable prop and South.

Had the case been lost, there is no doubt that eventually segregation ordinances would have been passed by every city in the country where there was a considerable proportion of colored population, North and South. As it is, there has been erected by the ultimate law-making body of the nation a permanent barrier against the forces that were fast encroaching upon one of the most essential rights of the Negro as an American citizen. The New York dailies that have commented on the decision, with the exception of the Mail, have commended it. The Mail must have imported a special Negro-hating writer to do its editorial. He began by stating that segregation ordinances are not discriminatory because they affect white and black alike. In his argument before the Supreme Court Mr. Moorfield Storey fully answered that fallacious argument when he said: In the present case it is contended that the difficulty is met by the provision that white persons shall not occupy buildings in "colored blocks." As well argue that an ordinance which prevented a denizen of the Five Points from moving into Fifth Avenue could be sustained because it forbade the dweller on Fifth Avenue to move into the Five Points. Anatole France has commented upon the absolute justice of the laws which prevent rich and poor alike from sleeping under the arches of the bridges which cross the Seine and from begging in the public streets. A law which forbids a Negro to rise is not made just because it forbids a white man to fall. This decision is a signal victory for the race, and an achievement for the Advancement Association which carried the case up to the Supreme Court. RACE LEGISLATION. New York Evening Mail. The Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional a Louisville ordinance allowing segregation of the residence districts of its white and black population. The ordinance provided that members of neither race shall be allowed to move into a block in which a majority of the residents are of the opposite color. If there was any discrimination in the law, the whites were discriminated against as much as the blacks. It was a law which recognizes the realities of the situation and met those realities squarely. It was a law which in principle cannot be distinguished from the "Jim Crow" laws of Southern States, providing separate cars for black and white passengers. White passengers cannot ride in the black cars any more than black passengers in the white cars. It is difficult to see how the Louisville ordinance is thrown out, while the "Jim Crow" laws were declared constitutional. This decision of the Supreme Court annulled not only the Louisville ordinance but also similar ordinances in Baltimore and other southern cities. The result will probably be that a way will be found to break the law. That is the fate of laws that are based upon fictions, shams. As the result of the civil war we enfranchised the Negro. We gave him equal voting rights with the white man. The poor ignorant refugees from slavery, tools of demagogues and corruptionists, bade fair to sink the South into a state of anarchy and ruin. The South was saved because the states passed voting laws which nullified the federal enactment and actually prevented enough Negroes from voting so that the combined voting strength of the whites, united into a single political party, averted the evil which these grown-up children would have perpetrated. And yet that large, uneducated, controllable Negro vote south of the Masont and Dixon line has been a terrible factor for class hatred and political corruption. Laws and institutions cannot endure if they are-built upon unrealities. The Malian disaster and the swift changes public attention away from one of the ordered by the Supreme Court. This exes segregation unconstitutional and have been passed by Southern and we so much for the Negro depended there is no doubt that eventually segre- passed by every city in the country portion of colored population, North erected by the ultimate law-making carrier against the forces that were most essential rights of the Negro as we commented on the decision, with amended it.

An ordinance like this of Louisville should never be declared invalid, based as it is upon the deepest race instincts—and race instincts which in this case have merely a social aim. Are we devoid' of the man or the men who will face this situation with courage, and lift himself above the shams which every one knows in his heart are shams? KNOCK-OUT FOR "SEGREGATION" Balsigh (N, C). Timas. The decision of the United States Supreme Court which holds unconstitutional the segregation law of Louisville, Ky. ought to mark the beginning of a reaction against a pernicious habit of assuming that the Constitution contains nothing that is sacred against politics or temporary or local public opinion. The Louisville segregation statute was similar to those enacted (or Richmond, Baltimore, and other Southern cities. It attempted to prevent the conveyance of property held in certain districts except to members of one race. Although its purposes was frankly to create barred zones for both white and colored residents, it was sought to justify the law on the plea that it tended to preserve racial purity and was thus a measure within the police power. The Supreme Court disposes of that contention with the brief statement that, broad as the police power is, it cannot operate in contravention of explicitly provisions of the Constitution. To restrict the right to convey land is as clear a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment as could well be imagined. As we said above, it is to be hoped that this decision will tend to discourage the widespread practice of passing extravagant laws and then trusting the Supreme Court to find some method of dodging the Constitution. It does not matter that courts all over the country—and that includes the "Most Highest,"—have encouraged this habit. If we are to live in a country rested on broad --- these laws and shall have to be followed in the good of the country and not that of any particular nation. It doublesh is desirable in some instances that there be a property conservation of the races. There is scarce a Southern city that has not witnessed the melancholy spectacle of once desirable sections turned into alums by insidious encroachment of Negro property owners. The same thing happens, however, when a chemical works, a packing plant, or any one of a number of different trades and industries gets a new into a residential district. The case follows and the occupant of the house gets out. The only legal protection against such happenings is voluntary segregation and personal protection property. To attempt to cure a particular offense in one city inevitable works toward commission of wrong and weakening of the law in all parts of the Nation. As for the police power, it is probably true that it has done ten times more harm with its insidious doctrine of doing an illegal thing in a legal to undermine the foundations of democratic liberty than it has done good with the sum total of all its benefits. It is gratifying to see that the Supreme Court has at last come to the point definitely limiting the application of the theory that has seemed to be illuminated in license. What a number of Southern cities have attempted by statute has agitated in North Carolina for the nine districts. We will now, we trust, heard the last of these half-baked peals to demagoguery in this State. RESPECT FOR THE UNIFORM. (From New York City) The violence offered to a Negro officer, who was driven from Vicksburg a mob, was an insult not only to the Negro race but to the United States uniform. Another Negro officer, whom a salute was refused by two white soldiers, promptly removed the coat, hung it on a post, and marched the two soldiers past it, forcing them with drawn revolver to salute the insignia of the United States. "You don't need me, a Negro," he said, "but you will mute the uniform of a United States officer." Respect for their government and its representatives should penetrate even the passions of the most violently anti-Negro maniacs. Respect for the United States, if not for the thousands and thousands of black men who are offering their lives to their country, should prevent such threats as the officer ejected from Vicksburg reported to the effect that "no nigger could wear a uniform in Mississippi that white people had to honor." This sort of mob rule is the kind that not only discredits us before world which we are trying to make safe for democracy, but discredits us to ourselves. It cannot improve the morale of an army in which are thousands of black men; it cannot but embolden those men who are giving their all for their native land, only to have their sacrifice met with contumely and insult. Shame, shame, shame to the recurrent Americans who are false to every principle for which our country stands! THE SOLDIER AND HIS SKIM (From New York World) Race prejudice in the United States Army is as intolerable as treason or subordination. If encouraged in any degree it cannot fail to destroy discipline and weaken the physical and moral force of the establishment. The day following Gen. Castleberry rebuke of this spirit in the Kentucky camp, a colored Lieutenant was mobilized at Vicksburg by white private soldiers with civilian assistance and finally compelled to make his escape in disguise. He had gone to his home proud of the commission which he had earned by hard study and training. He fed not so much to save himself as to remove from his parents the danger of violence. If colored men are good enough to go to France to defend with their lives the rights of the United States, they are entitled to all the respect at home for their uniform and rank which white men receive everywhere without question. The mingled blood of lords and costermongers is said almost to have obliterated class distinctions among the British who once regarded them as invincible. There can be no complete triumph for democracy so far as America is concerned which does not stifle forever the snobbery which judges a man not by his valor and capabilities but by his color. THE NEGRO IN THE WAR THE NEGRO IN THE WAR. (From the Greenville, (B.C.) News.) The course of the Negro race has been highly creditable in this war. Upon barren soil fell the seeds of sedition and insurrection disseminated by German agents and pro-German newspapers in an attempt to incite the Negroes to uprising against the United States. So far as we have observed, Negro leaders have been conspicuously free from treasonable utterances. Drafted Negroes have gone to the front as cheerfully as any other set of men and, if history repeats itself, they will fight with signal bravery. German bullets will send as much torture and agony into black bodies as into white. Death will not discriminate against the Negro soldier, the patriotism of these people will not be forgotten and should ever be kept in mind and taken into account for full credit in the adjustment of racial problems.

THE Clef Club, it seems, has active and interesting career reached that stage of its when its members may feel confident that an entertainment given under the auspices of this popular musical organization, will be well entrenched—war or no war, good weather or bad, opposition or otherwise. This fact was strikingly illustrated last Friday evening at Manhattan Casino, on which occasion the Clef Club gave its annual concert and dance. There have been larger Cefl Club gatherings, to be sure. But conditions are such today that it is not given that you are an old-time Manhattan Casino crested—a crowd taking up every inch of their space in the casino and overflowing into the spacious grounds. But Friday evening's turnout was of sufficient due to put "Dance" Johnson and his associates in good humor and French good reason for lifting the affair a success. The great world war is thousands of miles from the Manhattan Casino, but its sobering effect on a Harlem dance was quite noticeable. Usually members of the gentler sex rival one another by appearing in decollete. Heretofore the wearing of pretty gowns and jewels has contributed in a large measure to the success of a Chel Club entertainment. Friday evening the ladies, in many instances, were "tailored," and flimsy creations with the low V-shaped upper wraps were conspicuous by their absence. There is no denying the fact that music is a great gloom dispeller, and when the Chef Club Orchestra begins to dispense dulcit stains for the dancers it is doubtful if guilt and questions as the European side the sincerity of sugar and the pride of handicrafts in general are inserted into the minds of those dancing the "thimme me" dance or waltz. That Chef Club aggregation would make a cripple lay down his crutch. Transported to the Sömme Front, if they did not hold the war by their playing, they would at least bring about a temporary cessation of fighting. Instead of giving the concert earlier in the evening as heretofore, this treat was reserved until shortly after midnight, when half a hundred musicians, under the direction of Frederick M. Bryan gave a short but enjoyable program. The promising Mr. Bryan used rare judgment in not giving a long, heavy program at such an hour. The vocal hit of the evening was made by the Right Quintet, composed of Measrs. Loquen, Tisdale, Thorne, Lightfoot and Smith, who go big any time, anywhere. "Deacon" Johnson is an optimistic individual who believes that a wonderful future is in store for the Cefl Club. His members are becoming imbued with a similar opinion. There is more teamwork in the Cefl Club today than ever before. So, with no able a leader as "Deacon" Johnson, as competent a conductor as Ferdik M. Bryan with teamwork and the proper vision, nothing should keep the Cefl Club from becoming what it should be—a wonderful organization. Among those to protest the loudest and longest against the plan of Washington officials to save fuel in New York by reducing the electrical display along the Gay White Way are the theatrical managers who are insistent in their contention that the Rialto should be permitted to barbe in its present nocturnal effulgence. The theatrical men are wrothy and have raised the cry that New York is being unjustly discriminated against; they say no other city has been included in this fuelsaving scheme. From the present looks of things the managers have not been able to show the District of Columbia authorities that certain fine point, and a curtailment of light along the great theatrical thoroughfare is regarded likely. LAFAYETTE STOCK TO PRODUC E"BRANDED" "Branded," that soul-stirring drama which opened at the Fulton Theatre this season and had to be with/withdrawn on account of other bookings at that theatre, will have its first production off of Broadway next week at the Lafayette Theatre. Although the Lafayette management has produced many a strong play, "Branded" will rank as the strongest offering yet shown. To give the story of the play we take the liberty of quoting the author's review from the New York Herald: "During drama, presenting all that is true and all that is beautiful in life, is the summer in which the new four-part comedian "Broadway at the Fulton Theatre" is downloaded by the management. A nice fitting description of it would be hard to find. Oliver D. Hankey has prepared a story dealing with the efforts of a daughter to live a life of responsibility in spite of the reputation she, rather, lack of reputation of her mother, a woman of the underworld. The first act showed Mina Christine Norman, an old daughter, happily located in a girl's summary, an assumed name cloaking her identity and affording her protection. About to become engaged to the brother of a classmate, all the daughter's hopes are destroyed when her mother appears at the school accompanied by "Velvet" Kraft, her associate in crime. A most realistic policeman recognizes the pair, reveals their records, and, of course, the daughter is driven from the school. The daughter escapes to Paris Three years later we find her happily married and with her father-in-law and his wife visiting from the States. Kraft locates her, blackmails her as far as he can under threat of revealing the identity of her mother. "Desperate, the wife tells the whole story to her husband. The situation provides one of the best of the big scenes, and the husband vows to remain loyal in spite of her 'taint.' He changes his mind later on and the wife leaves him, taking with her her baby Dora. She returns to New York with Kraft, becomes absorbed in the use of drugs and is finally brought to the institution that her child Dora, now pregnant years of age, is about to fall into the chafes of death and the dead. Basically perhaps by this illusion of the omnipotent mother fighting to and defending herself possibly in the course of the great mystery in the last tent. "Nothing into the dim where Dora is held captive, the mother shoots Kraft. The husband opportunely returns, only to be charged with the murder. Here again the very good policemen move the situation by planting the murder weapon on Terry, one of Kraft's lieutenants. The company presenting this time drama at the Lafayette will be: Abbie Mitchell, Tom Brown, Susie Sutton, Wra. "Babe" Townsend, Inex Clough, Chaz. Olden, Lillian Gillam, A. B. de Comethiere, Ivy Hubbard, Frances Mores, Alice Gorges, Will A. Cooke, Chas. C. Taylor and others. TUSKEGEE, 19; MOREHOUSE, 6. TUSKOEK INSTITUTE, Ala.—Tuskegee performance Saturday in defeating Morchese College, her ancient rival, just gives her claim to championship honors among colored schools of the far South. In disposing of Morchese she is given a decided step toward the coveted honors of which the Maverick has so proudly been the past. Tuskegee has a pretty general talent that Tuskegee had a good team but it took just such a contest as she observed today in wrote her ability. Long before the game was called, the enthusiastic students began to pour onto the field. Pretty soon the famous Tuskegee Band swung into the field, playing "Come on Tuskegee" to the tune of "Are You from Diarce?" which not the vast throng in high spirits for the classic occasion. A long string of cedars followed the band which while playing lively marched and countermarched up and down the field. There was a clown dressed in Old Gold and Crimson, the colors of the school. His funny antics kept the anxious and enthusiastic crowd in good humor. A little boy, the mascot, held a tenacious looking bulldog training at his strap. The day was ideal from the point of view of the spectators. Morehouse opened the contest by kicking to Tuskegee. Failing to gain the Tigers kicked to Morehouse. Morehouse returned the kick. Lyons made a forward pass to Bryshaw which resulted in a touchdown for Tuskegee, occurring in about four minutes after the ball had been put in play. Tuskegee lost her chance to try for goal. Next, Morehouse received the ball and advanced with wifflinne yard of Tuskegee's goal line. Here the Tigers braced and held them for downs. The first quarter ended with the ball in Morehouse's territory. The second quarter opened with the ball in Morehouse's possession. After several successful line plunges she placed the ball on Tuskegee's 20-yard line and then all in a flash Warren made a forward pass to Harris who made the first and only score for the Maroon seven. Morehouse lost her chance to try for good. l soon after the ball was again, put in play. Blackus, Turkgee's clever little quartetback, covered considerable distance around end. Captain Goodwin also skirted the ends and hit the line for appreciable gaaps. But the most sensational of all the plays was the spectacular 40-yard run around right end by Blackus, who dodged and wrigled his way past the racing Maroon tacklers and carried the ball over for a second touchdown. Brashear kicked goal Both sides struggled fiercely, playing offensively and defensively. Thomas Smith's interception of a forward pass brought applause. The first half ended with the ball in Tuskegee's possession, about midfield. Tuskegee did good work in the final period. Brashear, the fleet right end, soon found his way behind the goat posts for a third touchdown and failing to kick goal registered six more points in the Tiger column and in a little while the whistle blew with a 19 to 6 victor for the Tuskegee team. Morehouse has a splendid team, Captain Warren, besides being a good field general, is a fine sportsman. Anderson and Harris were particular bright spots. In toe work Tuskegee outlapped Morehouse. Both sides used an assortment of forward passes several of which were well excorted and counted for gains. Lyons was injured near the end of the first quarter and had to be carried from the field. He was replaced by Thomas Smith, a young hopeful who did creatively. Captain Gaspard McQuenon, Blackman and Bradman, were without doubt the most competent individuals in today's game. They made consistent gains in spite of the fact that "machines on guard" kept close account of their movements. Thomas, William Hammons and Dillen, financier and Stannings in the backfield, played abundantly. Norris, left tackle, is always all "there" all the time. Tonight Tuskegee is celebrating his decisive victory and Mr. Gayle, Director of Athletics. The line-up: Tuckens Institute Merseyside College Oxford L.R. Harris Norfolk L.T. Kent Williams L.O.

Even the weather man smiled on the occasion. Hampton won, 25 to 6. On Hampton's second drive, came Rigney's conventional run of 40 yards for the first touchdown, with the whole Petersburg team in pursuit. In each of the quarterbacks Hampton carried the pivot system for a touchdown, in the first three quarters of the game. Owl did good work for Hampton in the touchdown, while Hamworth did nationally well at touchdown. Near the end of the last quarter came Petersburg's long, well-executed forward pass to Jackson, which resulted in a touchdown. Both teams tied a number of forward passes, but only a few were completed. The follower of the game around Petersburg declare the game Saturday to be one of the cleanest ever witnessed on the local gridiron.

The playing of Owl for Hampton, the handling of the long pass by Taylor and the forty-yard run by Gregory were features of the game. Union gained the decision in the second quarter when Hucka booted the bliskin between the uprights. The line: Substitution — Hampton: Hammond for Hearne. Umpire—Carper. Referee—Savoy.

Vann pastor of the First Institutional Baptist Church MEGRO P COUR NEGRO PRESS ON COURT DECISION The importance and far-reaching effect of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in declaring the Louisville segregation ordinance unconstitutional has not been underestimated by the Negro press of the country, which is enthusiastic over the big legal victory just won. As the result of the decision Negro editors are inclined to be more optimistic as to the treatment accorded the Negro in the future. Some of the ediiterial comment follows: Indianapolis (Jnd.) Freeman. The Negroes have won their fight as far as it is possible to be won at this time. We say, this advisedly, cautiously, having in mind the statement that 'There exists a serious situation, which, however, the law is powerless to remedy.' This may mean that there may yet continue an elusive system of segregation or discrimination which will refuse to yield to the mandates of courts. However, as the matter stands on the surface a great victory has been won and as said above, not unexpected, because things are conspiring generally to give the Negroes a better civil rating. Segregation as it is now done by ordinance is defeated, and we think that whatever possible thing that may tend to keep it up will be weak, falling of its own weight. The weakened sentiment in favour of the movement owing to the racialists' decision of the court will weaker grow and perhaps for all time, because the passing of legislation which tends to divide the people into hostile classes. Chicago (III.) Defender. An attempt at framing such an ordinance was suggested at a meeting of white real estate dealers in Chicago a short time ago, but it met with righteous opposition that the idea was abandoned. Monday's decision will lay at rest for all time these disusing attempts to "kanserize" the progressive, property-owned members of the Race, and will lend added zest to the millions of our people who are ready to aid and even die for this country in the present great struggle for true democracy. Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American. This opinion of the unconstitutionality of the segregation laws let us repeat is something. Let us hope it is but the forerunner of the future decree which shall declare all discrimination between citizens as contrary to the principles of a free democracy as set down in our constitution and its amendments. Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courier. The United States of America ought to feel nearer to Democracy since that nation than ever before. It would be more timely indeed. If the United States would be won for Democracy before our Supreme Court could check the prejudices of some un-American citizens residing in America. A pro-German citizen is admittedly an enemy to our country. But not one iota less an enemy is the man who seeks to blacken his country by the passage of any law that abridges the rights of any single citizen of the country. And before we shall be fully prepared to receive and practice the Democracy for which our sons have been sent to die, there is quite a little more house cleaning the Supreme Court must do, or we may find ourselves embarrassed when Democracy is thrust upon us. Now that the Ghetto is knocked out, let us have a decision on other phases of prejudicial legislation. 8ayannah (Ga.) Tribune The Supreme Court of the United States, as was expected of it, has risen in its pre-eminence and high vision of unwavering justice, and put its foot on this species of class discrimination and race hate. It could not afford to do less and maintain its own self-respect and the respect of its great constituency—the great people of the United States. There is but one right way, one standard of justice, and no temporizing, quibbling or subterfuge can ever settle great social and moral questions like this. one under discussion. Surely, "no question is ever settled until it is settled right." Philadelphia (Pa.) Tribune.

"Grandfather Clown" Gandalf, was a great whistle, but not so far the wandering man, an patient as this, far in most of the States where the "Grandfather Clown" was in effect, they found other excuses to chant the colored clown out of the knitting. Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide We are hopeful and optimistic. The segregation decision of 1917 is a far step from the Dred Scott decision of 1857. And it must be remembered that the decision was handed down by a Supreme Court the majority of whose members are Democrats, and whose Chief Justice is a native Southerner. The decision is unique and remarkable also for the reason that never before in the history of the Supreme Court has that tribunal reached a unanimous decision upon any question upholding the rights of the African Americans. (D.) Unions Glory to God. The Supreme Court has spoken. Segregation is a damnable doctrine, unworthy a Christian people, unworthy a civilized community, unworthy a country consecrated to liberty. Such condition, whether in streets or street cars, should not be tolerated. It breeds dissension, its breeds anarchy. In days of danger, a united country is a nation's greatest safeguard. Richmond (Va.) Planet. We do not know anything that will have a greater tendency to restore the confidence of the colored people in the integrity of the courts and the sense of fair play, in the nation. The action of the Supreme Court will win the cordial approval of thousands of white people, who have been more injured by the confiscatory nature and operation of the segregation laws that have the colored people who were intended primarily to be its victims. Boston (Mass.) Guardian. At last the U. S. Court has spoken on the most outrageous of all evil discriminatous uss, residen race segregation. As often fondly predicted, this extreme form of color segregal on was admitted unconstitutional. This is a most important victory for rights for colored Americans. As the Guardian has often said, segregation is the most dangerous form of proscription because it can be extended into the North more easily than some other forms. This residence segregation was its most dangerous and injurious form, because it was related to money-making. Chicago (III.) Idea It has long been the hope of the controlling element in the South that, when "Negro Segregation" had been thoroughly entrenched and established in that section, that similar agitations were to be launched in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and other cities of the North, and like ordinances passed and thus "segregation" or race separation was to become nationalized. But, thanks to the Supreme Court, this dream of the race-hating south, goes tumbling into that chaotic mass of unconstitutional laws intended to keep down and degrade the colored race "Thank God the government at Washington still lives," and constitutional liberty and fair play have an unwavering champion in the Supreme Court of the United States. Atlanta (Ga.) Independent In fact, the Supreme Court in this great decision, confirms the Declaration of Independence, "that all men are created equal, and endowed by their Contort with certain inalienable rights—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." This has been the standard for over a hundred and forty years, but it is just now being reduced to practice. Let us thank God that there is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and that, in His own good time, He will mete out justice to all who are accorded to face, color or previous condition, servitude. Let us possess ourselves in justice; let us do our duty as God gives us the light to see it, and in due time we will reap the reward if we faint not. Nashville (Tenn.) Globe The decision of the court is a righteous one. It gives to the Negro that which was already his by divine right. This decision will tend to stop the Negro baiting which has been so prevalent in certain cities of the United States and which once threatened Nashville. There never has been any good cause save hatred and prejudice, for the passage of segregation laws. Raleigh (N. C.) Independent While Justice Day's conclusions are sound to the core and leave no ground upon which to base any similar future action, it is not up to the great deliverance of Chief Justice Clark of our subject judge to stand on the same subject. Justice Clark's case was one of the finest ever delivered by any court in the country. Shreveport (La.) News Enterprises If we possess rights we would like to know it and feel they are ours. Don't jump on conclusions and don't try to move too fast. Do not hurry too loud or talk or act too fast. We are coming into what belongs to us and by providence we can retain it. Red Mark (Ft. L) Kobe We have always maintained that this idea of restriction on property which seemed only to affect Negroes and Indians who a rank injustice and a gross fraud to the Negro race in particular. Let us hope from now on that 'n man is a man whether white or black before th law, with equal rights and privileges. Louisville (Ky.) News It is a priorious victory for, the colored people of the city of Louisville, and a fitting reward for the sacrifices we have made to test this case in the highest court in the hand; it being the first case of this kind ever before the Supreme Court, and, consequently, the first time the question of racial segregation has been passed upon by that body. The Evening Post, in its characteristic dishonesty of expression, would lead us to believe that the segregation ordinance has been working to advantage in Louisville of both the colored and white races. The Post knows full well that the enactment of the segregation ordinance was not brought about by either economic or social necessity, not even of expediency, but that it was purely a St. Paul (Miss.) Assoc. We might say match in reference to this act of tardy justice, but we will satisfy ourselves by saying: "Praise God, from whom all blessing flow." Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter. Here in Birmingham we were fortunate in having among our people a lawyer who, without calling for the expenditure of a single do'lar, and merely out of an unselfish desire to serve his race, was able to safeguard his people against an unjustious law from the very contact so that they were compelled to suffer the injustice of its operation for a single day. The race would be blessed if we had a larger number of such men and such lawyers throughout the country. The Government of the United States can be depended upon to do right; and much of the colored man's oppression is due to the fact that he won't exercise his rights under the law. Galveston (Tex.) Times. The highest court of the land has set in action a turning back to those people of this country who have for ever half a century thought that colored people had no rights that white people were bound to respect. The colored people of this country are truly American citizen having been for all these years of residence It would now be far better for the whole nation and all others to destroy all signs of hatred that produce a spirit to arouse the heart and soul of mankind to despise his brother white or black. We are now on the banks of a mighty river of human justice and let's awaken to its action. St. Louis (Mo.) Clarion. The decision in the Louisville case is given added significance by the fact that it was the unanimous verdict of the same tribunal that annulled the infamous "Grundfather Clause," that for a generation has disfurbased the Negro in the states of the solid South Let God be praised for this helated act of justice and let us remember that, all things come to him who waits. Now for the "Jim Crow" Car Law. Cleveland (O.) Advocate. This decision, rendered by Justice Day, of our own great state of Ohio, is a notice to the South that her growing policy of repression, and injustice, is at an end; that the colored man who has given his blood for the establishment and preservation of this country, and who is now rushing to the front to help "make the world safe, for democracy," is entitled to justice—no more no less. That decision rendered by the Supreme Court cannot help but encourage us all, and arouse within us the belief that, after all, God reigns and the government at Washington still exists. Denver (Colo.) Stateman. But a few months ago we had an experience of a white organization of Denver endeavoring to get, by mayor and council to open a segregated ordinance on the same order of Louisville, but the foresight of this body of representative citizens prevailed, and they would have given their negative decision but for the persistent efforts of a number of white taxpayers, and as a case was slated for the Supreme Court, the matter was kept in abeyance awaiting the present decision. YOUNG BOOKER T. DOING WORK FATHER ASSIGNED (Special to THE NEW YORK ACAI) Tuskegee, Ala.—If Booker T. Washington, 2nd, is asked how he so successfully gets the colored people in the rural communities to respond to his request to help themselves to secure a new school house, he has for an answer, simply "Like the Rosenwald aid is a contingent fund, is a stimulus, a seducing nucleus, unfolding itself in triplicate. To obtain a new schoolhouse in place of the old one, or where there is nothing but a shamly substitute, or none at all, the State contributes one-third of the cost of construction, the Rosenwald fund one-third, and the community the remaining third and the plot of ground for its location. A suitable schoolhouse costs not less than $900. To get that remaining one-third out of the people of the community in the task of young Washington. The odds against him are many. He must first meet the people at their church schoolhouse. The minister must be placated and rocked with, so that permission may be obtained to address his congregation. The colored preacher in a rural community usually has a very overwhelming personality. He knows his congregation; he is their spiritual Czar. After the services and the introductions of visiting ministers, with their "short exertions and work remarks" and the Teller and the servant by the pastor, and the extracting collections, Washington is given opportunity to address the congregation, now out with fatigue, and drained empty in their purse. Very little money for building a new school can ever be raised after these services. However, this is the only occasion, "tugger preachin'" once a month, when the whole community comes together, and the representative of the Chicago philanthropist must make use of this opportunity to launch his campaign for a new schoolhouse Six or seven men, the most progressive At your dealer's or send 16cts in stamps to Those men were in the midst of the storm of 1820 in mourning, the consummation of that show honour, the proud overpower and educator of our community words. Those people in spite of the apathy of the inhabitants, the unceasing and loyal devotion to the many secret orders, whose agents swarm around and inflict their homes, bring forward, hit by bit, a part of their scant remaining substance to meet the condition—precedent toward obtaining a new and up to date schoolhouse. But very little money-getting can be left to the royal trustees; Washington must make a house-to-house campaign. He must traverse the steps of the minister; he must compete with the eminaries of the Royal Knights of King David, the Kaisers, and Daughters of Tabor; the Bifrons and Sisters, Sons and Daughters of Moses; the Gallilean Fisherman; the Mosaic Templars; the Wise Men and Women; the Good Shepherds; the Sons and Daughters of Peace; the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Friendship; etc. He must ride around their firesites; he must ride in their wagons from the town and attend their churches; he must join them in their procession over the collection, and mingle with them in their great spreads, after the church rally in the churchyard. In spite of the many obstacles he encounters young Washington is getting results. More than fifty Rosenwald schools have been constructed, within the last three, or forty years in Alabama alone. And now another schoolhouse has just been completed at 'Jackson Prospect, a colored community, Montgomery County. Families from the city of Montgomery. The Jackson Prospect schoolhouse is an elegant building, located upon what was once a part of the Greik plantation. A plot of two acres was donated by the owner, a prominent business white man of Montgomery — thus attesting an unselfish devotion to the improvement of the people in that community. The new school has a pleasing perspective, and is in every respect modern. It has two spacious rooms, high ceiling, a sanitary kitchen, and well ventilated closets for the children's wraps. The shades and lights are most effectively brought out, and the playground is beautifully ornamented with large trees and an indigenous turf. The greatest distance the farthest children have to walk is just a little more than a mile, and the main road to the city of Montgomery is one-quarter mile distance. Young Washington does not cease his efforts so soon as the building is erected, but he comes around as usual until the rooms are filled out with decks, blackboards, and other equipment. It was for this purpose, Sunday, October 4, that he carried down a party of teachers and officers of the Tuskegee Institute to assist him in fine appeal for the complete, equipment of this new schoolhouse, which will cost in all a little more than $1,000.

BEATRICE "Is it true that sailors have a girl in every port?" MISCHIHMAN HAROLD "Well, I'd hardly say that—there were several places we didn't touch on our cruise." Case Defines Powers of 14th Amendment Over State Laws (Continued from page one) situational provisions Congress enacted in 1866, Chap. 31, Sec. 1, 14th Stat, 27, that: "All citizens of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory, as is enjoyed by white citizens thereof to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property. And in 1870, by Chap. 114, Sec. 16, 16th Stat. 144, that: All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and procedures for the security of persons and property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, palms, penalties, taxes, licenses and exactions of every kind, and no other. "In the face of these constitutional and statutory provisions, can a white man be denied, consistently with due process of law, the right to dispose of his property to a purchaser by prohibiting the occupation of it for the sole reason that the purchaser is a person of color intending to occupy the premises as a place of residence?" All Citizens Have Some Right to Pur The statute of 1866, originally passed under sanction of the Thirteenth Amendment, 14 Stat. 27, and practically enacted after the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, 16 Stat. 144, expressly provided that all citizens of the United States in any state shall have the same right to purchase property as is enjoyed by white citizens. Colored persons are citizens of the United States and have the right to purchase property and enjoy and use the same without laws discriminating against them solely on account of color. Hall t. D. Curra, 95 U. S. 485, 508. These enactments did not deal with the social rights of men, but with those fundamental rights in property which was secure up to the same terms to citizens of race and color. Civil Rights Cases 169 U. S. 3. S. 22. The Fourteenth Amendment and these statutes enacted in furtherance of its purpose operate to qualify and entitle a colored man to acquire property, without state legislation discriminating against him solely by color. "That there exists a serious and difficult problem arising from a feeling of race hostility which the law is powerless to control, and to which it must give a measure of consideration, may be freely admitted. But its solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional 'rights and privileges. "As we have seen, this court has held laws valid which separated the races on the basis of equal accommodations in public conveyances, and courts of high authority have held enactments lawful which provide for separation in the public schools of white and colored pupils where equal privileges are given. But in view of the rights secured by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution such legislation have where the exercise of authority exceeds the restraints of the Constitution. We think these limitations are exceeded in laws and ordinances of the character now before us. "It is the purpose of such enactments, and it is frankly avowed it will be their ultimate effect, to require by law, at least in residential districts, the compulsory separation of the races on account of color. Such action is said to be essential to the maintenance of the purity of the races, although it is to be noted in the ordinance under consideration that the employment of colored servants in white families is permitted, and nearby residences of colored persons not coming within the blocks, as defined in the ordinance, are not prohibited. "The case presented does not deal with an attempt to prohibit the amalgamation of the races. The right which the ordinance annulled was the civil right of a white man to dispose of his property if he saw fit to do so to a person of color and of a colored person to make such disposition to a white person. "It is urged that this proposed segregation will promote the public peace by preventing race conflicts. Desirable as this is and important as this is the preservation of the public peace, this aim cannot be accomplished by laws or sentences which deny rights created or protected by the Federal Constitution. "It is said that such acquisitions by colored persons are disproportionately property owned in the neighborhood by white persons. But property may be acquired by undertable white neighbors or put to disproportion through lawful means with like premises.

BIQ BROTHERS TO HAVE JUNIOR POLICE For the first time in the history of New York City a Junior Police organization is to be formed under the direction of the Big Brother organization. Organizations of this kind have been formed among the white boys in various sections of the colored boys. J. C. Dancy, secretary of the Colored Big Brothers, has gotten the support of Leroy Peterson, secretary of the Welfare Bureau, to pledge himself to have this movement started. It will embrace the district bounded by 135th and 144th street, north and south, and Seventh and Madison avenues, east and west. This will give the boys in this community an opportunity to do police work in this section. Uniforms and badges are to be secured for the youngsters which will make them look like real nolicemen. The Big Brother work at the Colored Orphan Asylum is going along nicely and the authorities at the institution are enthusiastic over the result obtained thus far.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The full opinion of the Supreme Court in the Louisville segregation cases, the week in favor of the Negroes of that city, other segregation cases now pending in the country, has been issued in pamphlet form, show the court in its condemnation of the obnineance more severe and sweeping than related b WASHINGTON, D. C.—The full opinion of the United States Supreme Court in the Louisville segregation case, which was rendered a week in favor of the Negroes of that city, and which affects all her segregation cases now pending in the courts throughout the country, has been issued in pamphlet form, showing that the criticism of the court in its condemnation of the obnoxious segregation ordinance more severe and sweeping than related by the press despatches. The Supreme Court holds that any pass by a State to prevent the expancy of a lot by a person of color a block where the greater number of residences are occupied by white persons is an interdiction based wholly on color-simply, that, and nothing frequently affirmed in this court that we need not stop to cite the cases. Constitution Supreme Law of Land. "The Federal Constitution and laws passed within its authority are by the Brandeis McKenna United States Supreme Court. The Federal Constitution and law within its authority are the law of the land, and that the Amendment protects life, life, and property from invasion by the State without due process of law, property being more than a mere thing which a person owns. After reviewing the cause of action, growing out of the purchase of a plot of ground in the so-called restricted district of Louisville by William Warley from Charles H. Buchanan, a white man, the court states that Warley avers that in being deprived of the right to own the property by the Louisville authorities the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been violated. The contention of the Kentucky authorities has been that the property sold by Buchanan to Warley was in violation of the segregation ordinance which makes it illegal for a colored person to occupy a lot in a district where most of the residents were white. The courts of Kentucky sustained this point of view. Measure Termed "Drastic." Considering the case upon its merits the highest court in the land says in part: "This ordinance prevents the occupancy of a lot in the City of Louisville by a person of color in a block where the greater number of residences are occupied by white persons; where such majority exists colored persons are included. This interdiction is based wholly upon color; simply that and nothing more. In effect, premises situated are the queen's in the so-called block effectively deferred from sale to persons of color, because if sold they cannot be occupied by the purchaser nor by him sold to another of the same color. "This drastic measure is sought to be justified under the authority of the State in the exercise of the police power. It is said such legislation tends to promote the public peace by preventing racial conflicts; that it tends to maintain racial purity; that it prevents the deterioration of property owned and occupied by white people, which deterioration, it is contended, is sure to follow the occupancy of adjacent premises by persons of color. "The authority of the State to pass laws in the exercise of the police power, having for their object the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare is very broad as has been affirmed in numerous and recent decisions of this court. Furthermore the exercise of this power, embracing nearly all legislation of a local character is not be interfered with by the courts which is within the scope of legislative authority and that main adjoined reasonably tend to accomplish a lawful purpose. But it is equally well established that the police power, broad as it is, cannot justify the passage of a law or ordinance which runs counter to the limitations of the Federal Constitution; that principle has been so the supreme law of the land. The Fourteenth Amendment protects life, liberty, opinion of the United States Sugegation case, which was rendered of that city, and which affects all ing in the courts throughout the set form, showing that the criticism of the obnoxious segregation ornan related by the press despatches. frequently affirmed in this court that we need not stop to cite the cases. Constitution Supreme Law of Land. "The Federal Constitution and laws passed within its authority are by the United States Supreme Court Pitney White McReynolds Holt express terms of that instrument made and property from invasion by the states without due process of law. Property is more than the mere thing which a person owns. It is elementary that it includes the right to acquire, use, and dispose of it. The Constitution protects these essential attributes of property. Holden v. Hardy, 169 U. S. 366. 369. The Constitution of the free enjoyment and disposal of a person's acquisitions without control or diminution save by the law of the land. 1 Blackstone's Commentaries, (Cooley's Ed.) 127. "True it is that dominion over property springing from ownership, is not absolute and unqualified. The disposition and use of property may be controlled in the exercise of the police power in the interest of the public health, convenience, or welfare. Harmful occupations may be controlled and regulated. Legitimate business may also be regulated in the interest of the public. Certain uses of property may be confined to portions of the municipality other than the resident district, such as liverystaffs, prickyards, or like life and comfort of the occupants of neighboring property. Many illustrations might be given from the decisions of this court, and other courts, of this principle, but these cases do not touch the one at bar. The concrete question here is: May the occupancy, and, necessarily, the purchase and sale of property of which occupancy is an incident, be inhibited by the states, or by one of its municipalities, solely because of the color of the proposed occupant of the premises? That one may dispose of his property, subject only to the control of law, enments controlling that which the interests must be conceded. The question now presented makes it pertinent to enquire into the constitutional right of the white man to sell his property to a colored man, having in view the legal status of the purchaser and occupant. War' Amendments Equality Binding On All States. "Following the Civil war certain amendments to the Federal Constitution were adopted, which have become an integral part of that instrument, equally binding upon all the states and fixing certain fundamental rights which all are bound to respect. The Fourteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States and in all places subject to their jurisdiction, and gave Congress power to enforce the Amendment by appropriate legislation. The Fourteenth Amendment made all persons born or naturalized in the United States, citizens of the United States, and of the States in which they reside, and provided that no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or impurities of citizens of the United States, and that no State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, not deny to any person the equal protection of the laws. "The effect of these amendments was first, dealt with by this court in The process of law. While a principal pur- Slaughter House of Cases, 16 Wallace 36. The reason for the adoption of the amendments were elaborately considered by a court familiar with the times in which the necessity for the amendments arose and with the circumstances which impelled their adoption. That case Mr. Fitzgerald spoke for the majority pointed out that the colored race, having been freed from slavery by the Thirteenth Amendment, was raised to the dignity of citizenship and equality of civil rights by the Fourteenth Amendment, and the States were prohibited from abridging the privileges and immunities of such citizens, or depriving any person of life, liberty, or property without due Court. Clarke Van Devantier pose of: the latter amendment was to protect persons of color, the broad language used was deemed sufficient to protect all persons, white or black, against discriminatory legislation by the States. This is now the settled law. "Mr. Justice Strong, speaking for theAgainst theAgainst theAmendment, and among other things, in speaking of the Fourteenth Amendment, said; "It (the Fourteenth Amendment) was designed to assure to the colored race the enjoyment of all the civil rights that under the law are enjoyed by white persons, and to give to that race the protection of the general government, in that enjoyment, whenever it should be denied by the States. It not only gave citizenship and privileges of citizenship to persons of color but it denied to any State the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws, and authorized Congress to enforce its provisions by appropriate legislation. . . . It ordains that no State shall make or enforce any laws which may abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. . . . It ordains that no State shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. "What is this but declaring that the laws in the States shall be the same for the black as for the white, that all persons, whether colored or white, shall stand equal before the laws of the States, and, in regard to the colored race, (for whose protection the Amendment was primarily designed) that no discrimination shall be made against them by law because of their color?" "The Fourteenth Amendment makes no attempt to enumerate the rights it designs to protect. It speaks in general terms and those are as comprehensive as possible. but every prohibition implies the existence of rights and immunities prominent among which is an immunity from inequality of legal protection either for life, liberty or property. Any State action which denies this immunity to a colored man is in conflict with the Constitution. "Again this court in Ex parte Virginia, 100 U. S. 339, 347, speaking of the Fourteenth Amendment, said: 'Whoever, by virtue of public position under a State Government, deprives another of property, life or liberty, without due process of law, or denies or takes away the equal protection of the laws, violates the constitutional inhibition; and as he acts in the name and for the State and is clothed with the State's power, his act is that of the State."

MONEY FOR CO USED I (Appointed to The New York Times by FRANKLIN, LA—The New York Times Grand Jury in the past has been criticizing the white supremacy of the patron for failure to enforce the civil and constitutional rights of the people from White people in the past that the officials take and use for the education of the white children money that should go and belongs to Negro children for their education. Wilbur H. Kramer, writing in The St. Mary Banner with reference to the non-collection of poll taxes from the colored people says in part: "The State of Louisiana annually appropriates a definite per-capita sum of money for each educable child in each parish. The school board of the parish and of most parishes in this State do not near expend this amount, appropriated for the colored children by the State, in their education. The money derived by the school board from the parish, from the collection of general and special taxes, from fines and forfeitures of bonds and from poll taxes, every single dollar thereof is spent on the education of white children, and not a single dollar upon the education of colored children. The deficit, which has arisen in the school system of this Parish is not due to the maintenance of the colored schools of this parish, but to the maintenance of the white schools. If the additional revenue was given to the source from whence it came, the relief to the present school deficit, so earnestly desired by the Grand Jury and every good citizen, would not be given." PLAYGROUND PROVIDED IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA. JACKSONVILLE, FLA--Through the efforts of Miss Eartha M. M. White, president of the City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the city authorities have at last provided a playground for colored children. The City Council appropriated $600 to begin work on the playground, which is a large tract on Missouri street and Second avenue. Work is to begin at once fitting it up for immediate use. Mr. Conroy, Dr. Haskell and Mr. Genovare have all along shown a friendly spirit to this project. TEST OF DEMOCRACY "We are all of the same clay and spirit, and we can get together if we desire to get together. Therefore, my counsel to you is this: Let us show ourselves Americans by showing that we do not want to go off in separate games or groups by ourselves, but that we want to cooperate with all other classes and all other groups in a common enterprise, which is to release the spirit of the world from bondage. I would be willing to set that up as the final test of an American. That is the meaning of democracy."—President Wilson in his Buffalo speech, November 12, 1917. --- David E.

This question, which came to the fore recently, was our first thought answered magnificently, but later a way was found to reconcile interest convictions with military regulations. The solution reached was that an officer should and be regarded as a personality whom the mind was directed but that the military experience which includes the same language in the country is nothing good in the thought it should be directed. The conclusion of this vignette was directed by General John R. Corman, or Major of the Army M. the Commodore, who served in the Army for the Confederacy. General of Volunteers who saw active service in Porto Rico during the Spanish-American war. He said: "The discipline of the army must be maintained, and non-commissioned officers understand little of the spirit of the army when they refuse to salute a Negro officer. I have held several commissions in the military service, and I unhesitatingly say that I would, or will, at any time salute an officer, superior or inferior, who salutes me without regard to the color of his skin. The regulations, the laws and the fundamentals of courtesy and discipline upon which these regulations and laws are based prescribe this. It is no time to stand against them. I want to urge every soldier to be a soldier in the full sense of the term. We are at war, and soldiers are under the rules of the American Army. We are all one under the flag. We salute the rank, not the individual." The incident which brought forth General Castleman's statement occurred shortly when two white soldiers refused to capture Captain Glass, a colored officer. FURNISS ELECTED CITY COUNCILMAN (Special to The New York Times) (Special to The New York Age) INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-Dr. Sumner R. Furniss was elected councilman from the Fourth Ward Tuesday of last week, winning by a large plurality. The Fourth Ward is in a colored section and Dr. Furniss received 95 per cent of the vote cast. Due to Dr. Furniss' name on the Republican ticket the colored voters rallied to the support of the Republican candidate for Mayor, Charles W. Jewett, who was elected by a small plurality.

"I have been very much distressed, my fellow-citizens, by some of the things that have happened recently. The mob spirit is displaying itself here and there in this country. I have no sympathy with what some men are saying but I have no sympathy with the men that take their punishment into their own hands, and I want to say to every man who does join such a mob that I do not recognize him as worthy of the free institutions of the United States."—President Wilson in his Buffalo speech, November 12, 1917. x turns were brought in Mullen and knew come Thomas' plurality and assumed a commanding lead of nearly four hundred votes. Although the vote Wednesday afternoon stood: Thomas, 1,962; Mullen, 1,754; later in the day the returns read: Mullen, 2,782; Thomas, 2,384. The six missing districts are supposed to have made this radical change. James C. Thomas, Jr., charges that evidence of irregularities has been secured. For instance, in the 17th Election District of the 21st Assembly the fourth of the 44 results reported by the Republican captain of the district: Thomas, 178; Mullen, 14. However at the Police Station Thomas had strangely lost fifty votes, the returns reading: Thomas, 128; Mullen, 14. Mr. Thomas alleges that the "seven in 179 was changed to a "two." Soldier Vote to Decide. "With a recount and the votes I shall receive from the colored soldiers I feel confident of winning out in my fight for alderman," Mr. Thomas stated to an Ace representative. "The soldier vote will not be counted until December 18 and it is estimated that I should receive not less than one thousand additional votes. This vote should come from members of the Fifteenth Regiment and colored conscripts residing in the Harlem section, and I understand they were almost to a man in favor of my candidacy." eight election districts where the vote is solidly colored in Harlem I, 1,385 ballots were cast for James C. Thomas Jr., and 148 for Frank Mullen. Colored workers for James C. Thomas, Jr., deplore the fact that there are some Negroes who still barter their vote on election day, putting a $2 bill above race pride and everything else. Colored Tammany workers were active in asking Negroes to remain neutral in the aldermanic fight and not vote for anyone. It is charged that colored men, particularly in the vicinity of Fifth and Madison avenues, were not above disgracing themselves for $2. The attempt of the Tammany candidate and his friends to inject the race issue in the aldermanic fight is said to have been deeply regretted by Thomas McAvoy and other Tammany leaders who are seeking to win over the colored men. Several days before election circulars were given out in the white sections of the aldermanic district, which feed: Do you want your alterman to be a Negro? James C. Thomas, Jr., is a colored man. Vote for Frank Mullen, who has been your alderman for four years. The consensus of opinion in Harlem is that James C. Thomas, Jr., was集结 out in favor of his democratic opponent, and many are voluntarily coming forward and contributing to the final being collected to carry on the recent and recurrent. The Twenty-sixth Alderman District takes in four assembly districts as follows: Fourteen election districts in the 21st, ten in the 22nd, three in the 19th and one in the 20th Assembly District. --- REAL HUMAN CREOLE HAIR (Sponsored by True Rage Youth And) WASHINGTON, D. C. It is expected that the war Department will make a third investigation of the charges made by Lieut. Joseph B. Sanders, U. S. R. who says he was compelled to flee from his home in 'Vicksburg, Miss, in civilian clothes to save his parents from the violence of white soldiers, who had warned him to leave town. Lieut. Sanders, who was awarded a second lieutenant's commission at Fort Des Moines, Ia., in October, is now in St. Louis, where he first told of the Indigities to which he had been subjected. He has complained to the War Department that he was set upon by citizens of Vicksburg, the home of his parents, when he visited them after receiving his commission, and after being advised to remove his uniform, fled from that city in civilian clothes. He now is stationed at Fort Dodge, Ia. His story of the incident is: "I arrived in Vickburg on Oct. 18 and was met by a platoon of white soldiers standing around the station. They did not make any attempt to render any military courtesy whatsoever, but that was all right and I did not say anything to my of them. "I was met on the streets by the same soldiers and they called me all kinds of names, and said I need not look to them for a salute for I would not get it. And I was knocked off the sidewalks on several occasions and then cursed and ordered to get out of my uniform and leave town and not show up on the streets. "I left in disguise and my mother brought my clothes up to me at Green-will. Miss. On the following day I left there for St. Louis."

BALKMER, Md.-Despite the decision of the United States Supreme Court abrogating residence segregation laws, there is an element of whites here who believe that a way will be found to circumvent the decision: Among these are Mayor Preston and City Solicitor Fields. Fields has announced that he will have to study the decision before giving an opinion. In the meantime the legal segregation law is in force. Sidney Burrell was hailed into the Southwestern Police Court on Wednesday of last week, charged with moving into 1615 W. Lexington street, which segregationists want to construe as being in a white block. The 1600 block of Lexington street, is bisected by a small street, and Burrell moved into the part which only has white residents. His case came up before the Grand Jury Monday, but at the request of Deputy State's Attorney Marchant, consideration was postponed until the Court of Appeals decides some cases before it involving the legality of the local law. Baltimore was the first city to enact a segregation law. The law had to be redrafted several times, however, to meet adverse decisions by Maryland courts. Its operation here has resulted in the circumscribing of residence, districts, among colored people, and a big rise in rents and in properties that the colored people wanted to buy. In well-informed legal circles there exists the general opinion that the law invades property and personal, rights, which have been upheld for centuries under the old English common law. The colored people are highly elated over; the decision, as the operation of the law has given rise to much prejudice against the race and caused race clamor. $1.75 The company was forced by segregation to abandon a contaminated site and ordered people were not allowed to buy the property. SCOTTY VIEWS TRAINING white and blue, tiny flags decorating the salads and the various courses, streamers being used to encircle the dining room. At Montgomery, where the Ninth Separate Battalion of the Ohio National Guard battled the Smith with the Ohio troops, a force charged by General Smith, Commanding General, last week, at which Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, and Mr. Scott spoke. Both speakers called attention to the fact that the colored soldiers at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, had won the respect and confidence of the citizens of Montgomery, both white and colored, by their orderly deportment on the streets and in the camp, and commended them for keeping in mind the fact that they are serving their country and their race in a representative capacity, and that their conduct would largely determine the respect and confidence to be accorded their race now and hereafter. Major John C. Fulton, in charge of the battalion of 760 colored soldiers located at Montgomery thanked Dr. Moton and Mr. Scott for their visit and for the program which had been rendered for their benefit and entertainment by the Tuskegee Institute singers and by Charles Winter Wood, the well known dramatic reader, who is a member of the Tuskegee Institute faculty At Camp Gordon, Atlanta, and at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Mr Scott called attention to the just and impartial attitude of the Secretary of War, Hon Newton D Baker, and his earnest desire to have the sympathetic co-operation of white and colored citizens alike in connection with such delicate situations as may arise from time to time, to the end that the serious and thoughtful people of the country may be safely relied upon to help in dealing wisely and temperately with such situations. NASHVILLE TENN - Dr George E. Hayne has issued the following statement concerning the progress of the work of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes. "After nearly two years delicate efforts in Memphis, Tenn., a strong organization has been formed out of the several interests among colored people. The new organization has drawn in the strongest colored people of the city and has secured a standing advisory committee from the allied business and professional interests of the white people. *The Central Community Betterment League of Chattanooga, Tenn., organized after my visit last year, has done some substantial work and now applies for membership in the League. On a recent visit there I succeeded in trying the League up to two of the strong white social betterment organizations of that city. "In a visit to Birmingham, Alabama last week the several interests represented by the churches, lodges, women clubs, business and professional people aered to form a central organization After several conferences they appointed a nominating committee of nine men and two women to select an Executive Board of twenty-one and to start it on its work as a clearing house for the interests of the colored people These leaders were connected up with two of the strongest white leaders in social betterment of the city. "Here in Nashville we have begun our most auspicious year yet. Besides helping the local Women's War Council in their registration and in the Food Campaign, we now have twenty-nine seniors of Fisk University doing systematic work in cooperation with the Juvenile Court, the city and county Charity Commission, the employment bureau of our own Public Welfare League, and in the many activities centering at Bethlehem According to the Associated Press despatches from the French front, two hundred and sixty-four personal citations for bravery have been won by the Negro soldiers of a single Spanish battalion since it landed in France in June, 1916. Of these citations, 190 were gained in the fierce battles in the vicinity of the Alante and the remainder in the neighborhood of Verdun. The Somalis, many of whom were recruited in British Somaliland, are very independent in character, and find the discipline of an organized army very severe. Their French officers, however, are accustomed to deal with these freedom-loving tribesmen, and by appealing to their pride of race and their self-respect, obtain their devoted obedience to such an extent that they rapidly become excellent soldiers. These men learn to handle modern infantry weapons quickly, and furnish many specialists in the grenade-throwing, rifle and machine gun sections of French regiments for the men are of very high intelligence, and are full of natural initiative, very valuable adjuncts in these branches of fighting—while at hand grenade throwing they are second to none in the army. The Somalis, who are strict Mohammedans, never touch wine or alcohol. In fact, they look on any man go on intoxication, with the greatest disdain. They are self-sacring to a degree, as was evidenced during their attack on La Roseille, when they had to clean out the shutters in a tree which they had just captured and which were a full of Germans who had taken refuge there from the bombardment. One of their European sergeants was about to enter a dugout known to be full of armed enemies when he was pushed aside by a Somali private with the exclamation, "Let me go first. You are a married man." A widely prevalent fallacy has charged the Negroes with savagery against their captives. Their officers say this charge has been disproved time and again after lights at. Verdun, in Champagne, and north of the Aisne. The Associated Press correspondent saw Negro troopers bringing in batches of prisoners after a battle at La Royelle, when a French artilleryman approached them to take one of the prisoner's shoulder straps as a souvenir. One of the Negro escort, however, became indignant and shouted "Over there in the trenches you might have taken one," but now that the Germans are prisoners they must be protected." And the artilleryman had to go away without his souvenir. CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE (Special to Tue. New Years Eve) (Special to Eug New York Acm) TUSKESAN, Ala. The tenth annual chrysanthemum show was held Nov. 7. The exhibit consisted of all kinds and varieties of chrysanthemums. The history of the Chrysanthemum Show at Tuskesan Institute furnishes an interesting element in the character of the late Booker T. Washington, founder of the Institute. Years ago he travelled through Macon County, he was much impressed with the absence of flowers in the front and back yards and of home gardens. To stimulate interest in growing flowers and to make home surroundings more attractive, Dr. Washington enlisted the services of a committee of wives of members of the faculty and placed the matter in their charge.

In considering the many forms of injustice practised against the Negro, we are prone to fall into the blindness of sectionalism, attributing all the sins of intolerance and proscription to the South and crediting the North with all the fair-mindedness and liberalism. That this is not strictly true, we were unpleasantly reminded by the narrow and bigoted utterances of a New York daily in an editorial criticising the decision of the Supreme Court in the matter of segregation. Distrusted with this was the broad and liberal treatment of the same question by a leading North Carolina daily. The New York paper whose utterances seemed so inconsistent with its former history and policy was the Evening Mail. As the Mail and Express, under the ownership of the late Col. Elliott F. Shepard, the same paper was notable for its stalwart Republicanism and advocacy of human rights. In recent years, with its committal to a Progressive, and pro-German policy, there has been a tendency to exalt white supremacy in its columns. But in its defence of the Louisville segregation ordinance it out-herodated, defending it as "a law which organized the realities of the sit-down and met those realities merely." Not satisfied with endorsing segregation, the Mail editor exalted the principle of "Jim Grow" cars, and suppression of the suffrage, as these again in the South. Presumably he would welcome the extension of these blessings to the North. Incidentally, he suggests that the result of the decision "will probably be a way will be found to break law." His final pronouncement is denunciation of "shams," thus which head he seems to class of the rights and privileges sought be conferred in the equality of ownership set forth in the Constitution as amended. Verily it looks as if the Mail taken a leaf from the Abbeville, C., Scimitar, which the Government recently suppressed and jailits scurrilous and treasonable edi- in contrast to the fretful petu- sce of the Mail is the attitude of Raleigh Times on the same sub- tute. While the practice of segre- tion is approved of when brought out by voluntary action of prop- owners, the decision of the Supreme Court is hailed as marking reaction against the habit of assing that the Constitution con- nothing that is sacred against politics or imagery or local public opinion." The fact that statutory segregation has been agitated for the rural districts of North Carolina moves the Times to express the hope that "We will now, we trust, have heard the last of these half-baked appeals to demagoguery in this State." The striking dissimilarity between the manner in which the New York editor and the North Carolina editor accept the decision is hard to explain. The former is anarchistic in resenting the decision to his feeble utmost, the latter accepts it in the interest of the good of the whole country and not that of any particular section. It is not hard to decide which is the better citizen, irrespective of the section in which he resides and helps to make opinion. The Mail is too big a paper to have such a small-caliber writer on its staff as the one who wrote on "Race Legislation." It should strive to get back to the high ground it formerly took for human rights. A SUCCESSFUL AGENT. The first issue in November marked the fourth anniversary of Mr. C. E. Epps as agent and correspondent for THE AGE at Plainfield, N. J. Beginning with five copies weekly, by dint of hard work and persistency, Mr. Epps is now handling over two hundred papers every week. This success has not been achieved without many struggles and in spite of handicaps. But Mr. Epps has surmounted them all, and by application and industry rolled up the handsome circulation reported. Best of all, he has kept his accounts accurately and met his bills promptly, proving himself a master of businesslike methods. We would be glad to possess many more agents of his kind, although their number is steadily increasing. It is to be regretted that those Negroes in Harlem who supported Tammany. Hall in the recent municipal election placed their allegiance to that ancient organization above their loyalty to race, and voted against the aldermanic candidate racially allied with them. The cause of the race should have transcended all political claims in such an issue. It also looks as if the Negroes who dallied with the lure of Socialism were equally regardless of the tie that should bind, but which failed to do so in this instance. Despite these drawbacks, the colored candidate made a good run, and had he received the votes of the colored followers of Socialism who tried to break up a Fusion meeting by cheering him, the result today would not be in doubt. The call of race solidarity evidently fell on some deaf ears in the aldermanic contest in Harlem. It is not too early to begin thinking about making Christmas a cheerful occasion for the soldiers, especially the members of the Fifteenth Regiment. Donations of articles of comfort and remembrance can be sent through the Woman's Auxiliary, which has made this organization its special charge. Contributions of money for smokes or other gifts can also be sent to The Agr, which will transmit same to the Auxiliary. The headquarters of the Woman's Auxiliary, is at 2217 Seventh avenue, New York City. We are glad to note that Editor John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Planet, has been relieved from the charge of contempt of court, recently preferred against him and the editor of the News Leader of the same place by Judge Hundley of the Circuit Court of Charlotte County. From all we have read of the case there was an expression of healthy indignation on the part of the editors concerned over a judicial miscarriage of justice. But contempt hardly seemed to fit the facts presented. JAMES W. JOHNSON, COVERING EDITOR THE MISSISSIPPI PLAN. Mississippi they are having what they labor troubles in Mississippi are owed in Massachusetts. Labor trouble is or an absolute scarcity of men. History of Mississippi records such a fact that there are two men for every constitutes the labor troubles in Mississippi, likely affect the farms, and are caused plus of labor; by the fact that there are my job. The state of affairs has been brought formerly the white Mississippi farmer, shares or by tenants has been able to and to pocket all the profits; at lee who ever made any profits by wwpi farm. This the white land owner, great surplus of Negro farm labor. These land owners find that there is just; and, naturally, that calls for higher situations. These Mississippiians have a problem before. They have always hands as they wanted and on their called in expert advice. As Director E. R. Lloyd of the Misesical College. He addressed the farm that they needed to take immediate with the winter. He pointed out that the State was still going on and that the farm work was completed unless step home by supplying year-round employment his plan for securing the desire two sections, one for the indefinite immediate present. Here is the plan here: As condition we farmers must reorganize them provide profitable work one this we will not only be able to and the farm bringing in an income be found with that. It is progressive principles that could not possibly be immediate present: Being, however, the farmers need to as fencing, ditching, clearing and make definite yearly contracts with 10 days." Contracts for work on a Mississippi farm contracts" bind the planters to furnish it and wages throughout the year? Not simply give the planters an option; and under such a "contract" any quit his job could be arrested and eng and make to work for nothing. Instead of urging the Mississippiive methods, is advising them to take less than a form of peonage. Integrated colored people tell these farm a contract. There is too great a country at good wages for any down in Mississippi, to subject him as are proposed by Director Lloyd. Down in Mississippi they are having what they think are labor troubles. Now, labor troubles in Mississippi are entirely different from labor troubles in Massachusetts. Labor troubles in Massachusetts imply a strike or an absolute scarcity of men. I do not suppose that the whole history of Mississippi records such a thing as a strike; and I do not doubt that there are two men for every decent job in the state. What then constitutes the labor troubles in Mississippi? These troubles particularly affect the farms, and are caused by the fact that there is not a surplus of labor; by the fact that there are not four or five men for every job. This deplorable state of affairs has been brought about by the Negro exodus. Formerly the white Mississippi farmer who has had his land worked on shares or by tenants has been able to get it done for practically nothing and to pocket all the profits; at least, I have never heard of any Negro who ever made any profits by working as a tenant on a Mississippi farm. This the white land owner was able to do because of the great surplus of Negro farm labor. At present these land owners find that there is just about enough labor to go around; and, naturally, that calls for higher wages and better working conditions. These Mississippiians have never been confronted with such a problem before. They have always been able to get as many Negro hands as they wanted and on their own terms. In their dilemma, they called in expert advice. The expert was Director E. R. Lloyd of the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College. He addressed the farmers at Starkville and told them that they needed to take immediate steps to hold their labor through the winter. He pointed out that the movement of Negroes from the State was still going on and that it would increase as soon as the farm work was completed unless steps were taken to keep the labor at home by supplying year-round employment. He then proceeded to unfold his plan for securing the desired result. This plan falls into two sections, one for the indefinite future and the other for the immediate present. Here is the plan as presented for the indefinite future: "To meet this condition we farmers must reorganize our systems of farming to make them provide profitable work the year round. When we have done this we will not only be able to keep plenty of labor, but will find the farm bringing in an income every month in the year." No fault can be found with that. It is progressive and is founded on solid economic principles that could not possibly fail. But here is the plan for the immediate present: "For the time being, however, the farmers need to provide emergency work such as fencing, ditching, clearing and fall plowing in order that they can make definite yearly contracts with their Negroes during the next 30 days." Yearly contracts for work on a Mississippi farm. It is to laugh. Would these "contracts" bind the planters to furnish their hands with steady employment and wages throughout the year? Not at all. These "contracts" would simply give the planters an option on the labor and time of these men; and under such a "contract" any Negro who for whatsoever reason quit his job could be arrested and eventually thrown into the chain-gang and make to work for nothing. Inspector Lloyd, instead of urging the Mississippi farmers to adopt at once progressive methods; is advising them to take advantage of what is nothing less than a form of peonage. Let the intelligent colored people tell these farm hands not to sign any sort of a contract. There is too great a demand for free labor all over the country at good wages for any able-bodied man, even a farm-hand down in Mississippi, to subject himself to any such feudal conditions as are proposed by Director Lloyd. ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE to ago the New York daily papers a parbarity that has yet come out of the word is not strong enough, nor is the word in the English language to be told by Captain David Fallon, a young diploli and Belgian campaigns, when illustrators at their dinner a few night, told his hearers how he had seen Belgium by nailing her to the door of the captain's speech clipped from her gives the story in his own words. It said the young captain, "I saw a M. Moor of her convent, and within the b. consecrated their lives to the teaching to the poor, cut to pieces and mutilated saw an aged blacksmith, his folded bate on his breast proclaiming in German orses of our. enchies." A day or two ago the New York daily papers carried the most horrible story of barbarity that has yet come out of the war. I said "barbarity"; the word is not strong enough, nor is the word "atrocity"; in fact, there is no word in the English language to express the character of the story told by Captain David Fallon, a young Irish-Australian veteran of the Gallipoli and Belgian campaigns, when he spoke before the Society of Illustrators at their dinner a few nights ago. Captain Fallon told his hearers how, he had seen the Germans crucify a nun in Belgium by nailing her to the door of the convent. But here is a part of the captain's speech clipped from one of the morning papers, which gives the story in his own words: "In Belgium," said the young captain, "I saw a Mother Superior crucified to the door of her convent, and within the bodies of noble women, who had consecrated their lives to the teaching of the young and ministering to the poor, cut to pieces and mutilated. "In Belgium I saw an aged blacksmith, his folded hands pinned to his anyil, and a note on his breast: proclaiming in German 'He will shoe no mose of the horses of our enemies.' Germans Cut Britons' Heads Off. we our turn our boys went into the trench happened to your boys, the trenches was over some of our boys were missing, its. Cutting, them from their bodies, ayonets above the trenches, scarce fit the word came, our boys waited for no in the enemy's trenches. There we disembowled and otherwise mutilated, we vowed that never again would we use on-reading this revolting narration bragging or lying. That he was taken in the eyes of his lady listeners, or the invention force in order to "When it came our turn our boys went into the trenches to do their bit. And, as has happened to your boys, the trenches were raided, and when the clash was over some of our boys were missing. The next day we saw their heads. Cutting, them from their bodies, the Boches had stuck them on bayonets above the trenches, scarce fifty yards away. That time, when the word came, our boys waited for no barrage before they went over and in the enemy's trenches. There we found our comrades crucified and disembowled and otherwise mutilated. And then and there, gentlemen, we vowed that never again would we spare a German life." My first impulse on reading this revolting narration was to say that Captain Fallon was bragging or lying. That he was talking to magnify himself, especially in the eyes of his lady listeners, or that he was purposefully distorting and inventing facts in order to stir up a feeling of revenge against the Germans. No doubt his words had both effects, for the accounts of the speech state that he thrilled the 200 artists, as in "words that went through every man and woman present like a bayonet thrust," he cited instance after instance of the debauched cruelty of German soldiers perpetrated against civilian and foe. I was not present so did not get the thrill. What I got was a feeling of indignation that this Captain Fallon would come to New York for the purpose of making us believe that Germans or any other civilized people would commit such acts either in war or peace; and I made a clipping of the account with the intention of writing an article stating that we had enough to fight the Germans about with. out listening to such improbable tales as these related by Captain Fallon. In filing the clipping, I came across two other clippings from the hearings before the Committee on Rules in the House of Representatives at Washington on August 3. I read through these two clippings and was immediately ready to apologize to Captain Fallon for my doubts regarding his sincerity and veracity. These clippings contained the statements of Congressman Dyer and Congressman Rodenberg before the committee regarding the East St. Louis riots. Congressman Dyer said: One man in particular who spit United States Army Reserve Corp. Washington somewhere, he having a General. At the time of these happenings enermant, but he was there on some that he saw a part of this killing, an in yards, which were waiting for the merce. He saw members of the man saw policemen of the city of East St mob go to the homes of these Negro and windows and then set fire and little children out of the arms of the fires and burn them up.

He saw the most dastardated in this country, and this hers; and my opinion is that n. One man in particular who spoke to me is now an officer in the United States Army Reserve Corps, Lieut. Arbuckle, who is here in Washington somewhere, he having come here to report to the Adjutant General. At the time of these happenings he was not in the employ of the Government, but he was there on some business in East St. Louis. He said that he saw a part of this killing, and he saw them burning railway cars in yards, which were waiting for transport, filled with interstate commerce. He saw members of the militia of Illinois shoot Negroes. He saw policemen of the city of East St. Louis shoot Negroes. He saw this mob go to the homes of these Negroes and nail boards up over the doors and windows and then set fire and burn them up. He saw them take little children out of the arms of their mothers and throw them into the fires and burn them up. He saw the most dastardly and most criminal outrages ever perpetrated in this country, and this is undisputed. And I have talked with others; and my opinion is that over 500 people were killed on this occasion. Congressman Rodenberg said: Now, the plain, unwarnished truth of the matter, as Mr. Joyce told Secretary Baker, is that civil government in East St. Louis completely collapsed at the time of the riot. The conditions there at the time beggar description. It is impossible for any human being to describe the ferocity and brutality of that mob. In one case, for instance, a little 10-year-old boy, whose mother had been shot down, was running around sobbing and looking for his mother, and some members of the mob shot the boy, and before his life had passed from his body they picked the little fellow up and threw him in the flames. Now, the plain, unwarnished true Secretary Baker, is that civil government collapsed at the time of the riot. The description. It is impossible for any and brutality of that mob. In one boy, whose mother had been shot and looking for his mother, and some and before his life had passed from up and threw him in the flames. Another colored woman with a was trying to protect the child, and and threw them in the flames. The Louis can never be described. It was depression that I did not recover from.

We unvarnished truth of the man that civil government in East of the riot. The conditions possible for any human being mob.

The horror of the described. It weighted me do not recover from for weeks statements made by these two, since civilized America offending Americans in peas would commit the acts in war. We again apologize. Another colored woman with a little 2-year-old baby in her arms was trying to protect the child, and they shot her and also shot the child, and threw them in the flames. The horror of that tragedy in East St. Louis can never be described. It weighted me down with a feeling of depression that I did not recover from for weeks. We know the statements made by these two members of Congress to be true. Therefore, since civilized Americans would commit such acts against other unoffending Americans in peace, there is no reason to doubt that Germans would commit the acts related to Captain Fallon against their foes in war. We again apologize to Captain Fallon. A VITAL DECISION.

This decision on the Louisville case makes segregation unconstitutional and nullifies all such ordinances as have been passed by Southern and border cities. The decision was vital because so much for the Negro depended upon it. Had the case been lost, there is no doubt that eventually segregation ordinances would have been passed by every city in the country where there was a considerable proportion of colored population, North and South. As it is, there has been erected by the ultimate law-making body of the nation a permanent barrier against the forces that were fast encroaching upon one of the most essential rights of the Negro as an American citizen. The New York dailies that have commented on the decision, with the exception of the Mail, have commended it. The Mail must have imported a special Negro-hating writer to do its editorial. He began by stating that segregation ordinances are not discriminatory because they affect white and black alike. In his argument before the Supreme Court Mr. Moorfield Storey fully answered that fallacious argument when he said: In the present case it is contended that the difficulty is met by the provision that white persons shall not occupy buildings in "colored blocks." As well argue that an ordinance which prevented a denizen of the Five Points from moving into Fifth Avenue could be sustained because it forbade the dweller on Fifth Avenue to move into the Five Points. Anatole France has commented upon the absolute justice of the laws which prevent rich and poor alike from sleeping under the arches of the bridges which cross the Seine and from begging in the public streets. A law which forbids a Negro to rise is not made just because it forbids a white man to fall. This decision is a signal victory for the race, and an achievement for the Advancement Association which carried the case up to the Supreme Court. RACE LEGISLATION. The Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional a Louisville ordinance allowing segregation of the residence districts of its white and black population. The ordinance provided that members of neither race shall be allowed to move into a block in which a majority of the residents are of the opposite color. If there was any discrimination in the law, the whites were discriminated against as much as the blacks. It was a law which recognizes the realities of the situation and met those realities squarely. It was a law which in principle cannot be distinguished from the "Jim Crow" laws of Southern States, providing separate cars for black and white passengers. White passengers cannot ride in the black cars any more than black passengers in the white cars. It is difficult to see how the Louisville ordinance is thorned out, while the "Jim Crow" laws were declared constitutional. This decision of the Supreme Court annulled not only the Louisville ordinance but also similar ordinances in Baltimore and other southern cities. The result will probably be that a way will be found to break the laws. That is the fate of laws that are based upon fictions, shams. As the result of the civil war we enfranchised the Negro. We gave him equal voting, rights with the white man. The poor ignorant refugees from slavery, tools of demagogues and corruptionists, hade fair to sink the South into a state of anarchy and ruin. The South was saved because the states passed voting laws which nullified the federal enactment and actually prevented enough Negroes from voting so that the combined voting strength of the whites, united into a single political party, averted the civil which these grown-up children would have perpetrated. And yet that large, uneducated, controllable Negro vote south of the Mason and Dixon line has been a terrible factor for class hatred and political corruption. Laws and institutions, cannot endure if they, are built upon unrealities. The Italian disaster and the swift changes public attention away from one of the ordered by the Supreme Court. This secregation unconstitutional and have been passed by Southern and so much for the Negro depended there is no doubt that eventually secregated by every city in the country proportion of colored population, North erected by the ultimate law-making barrier against the forces that were most essential rights of the Negro as we commented on the decision, with amended it. The Mail must have imer to do its editorial. He began by are not discriminatory because they his argument before the Supreme answered that fallacious argument indeed that the difficulty is met by the all not occupy buildings in "colored finance which prevented a denizen of Fifth Avenue could be sustained beifth Avenue to move into the Five rented upon the absolute justice of the alike from sleeping under the arches line and from begging in the public gro to rise is not made just because for the race, and an achievement which carried the case up to the uneducated blacks ought never to have obtained the unrestricted franchise. An ordinance like this of Louisville should never be declared invalid, based as it is upon the deepest race instincts—and race instincts which in this case have merely a social aim. Are we devoid of the man or the men who will face this situation with courage, and lift himself above the shams which every one knows in his heart are shams? KNOCK-OUT FOR "BEGREGATION" Breland, G. O. C.) Years The decision of the United States Supreme Court which holds unconstitutional the segregation law of Louisville, Ky., ought to mark the beginning of a reaction against a pernicious habit of assuming that the Constitution contains nothing that is sacred against politics or temporary or local public opinion. The Louisville segregation statute was similar to those enacted for Richmond, Baltimore, and other Southern cities. It attempted to prevent the conveyance of 'property held in certain districts except to members of one race. Although its purposes was frankly to create harred zones for both white and colored residents, it was sought to justify the law on the plea that it tended to preserve racial purity and was thus a measure within the police power. The Supreme Court disposes of that contention with the brief statement that, broad as the police power is, it cannot operate in contravention of explicitly provisions of the Constitution. To restrict the right to convey land is as clear a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment as could well be imagined. As we said above, it is to be hoped that this decision will tend to discourage the widespread practice of passing extravagant laws and then trusting the Supreme Court to find some method of dodging the Constitution. It does not matter that courts all over the country—and that includes the "Most Highest," have encouraged this habit. If we are legal principles, we shall have to that the test is the good and not that of any particular law. It doubtless is desirable in some instances that there be a property gation of the races. There is a Southern city that has not within the melancholy spectacle of once able sections turned into slums by ridiculous encroachment of Negro pro owners. The same thing happens ever, when a chemical works, a pet plant, or any one of a number of ferent trades and industries gets into a residential district. The follows and the occupant of that gets out. The only legal protest against such happenings is voter segregation and personal protection property. To attempt to cure a particular offense in one city inner works toward commission of and weakening of the law in all of the Nation. As for the police power, it is ably true that it has done ten more harm with its insidious doom of doing an illegal thing in a legal to undermine the foundations of cratic liberty than it has done good the sum total of all its benefits. I gratifying to see that the Sew Court has at last come to the point definitely limiting the application of theory that has seemed to be illimited in license. What a number of Sew cities have attempted by statute has agitated in North Carolina for the districts. We will now, we trust, heard the last of these half-baked peals to demagogy in this State. (From New York Globe) The violence offered to a Negro officer, who was driven from Vicksburg by a mob, was an insult not only to Negro race but to the United States uniform. Another Negro officer, whom a salute was refused by the white soldiers, promptly removed a coat, hung it on a post, and marched two soldiers past it, forcing them drawn revolver to salute the insignia the United States. "You needn't salute me, a Negro," he said, "but you will hate the uniform of a United States officer." Respect for their government and representatives should penetrate even the passions of the most violently anti-Negro maniacs. Respect for the United States if not for the thousands and thousands of black men who are offering their lives to their country, should prevent such threats as the officer ejecutes from Vicksburg reported to the effect that "no nigger could wear a uniform in Mississippi that white people had honor." This sort of mob rule is the kind that not only discredits us before world which we are trying to make safe for democracy, but discredits us to ourselves. It cannot improve the morale of an army in which are thousands of black men; it cannot but embitter those men who are giving their all for their native land, only to have their sacrifice met with contumely, and most Shame, shame, shame to the recrens Americans who are false to, every principle for which our country stands. THE SOLDIER AND HIS SUNSHINE (From New York World) Race prejudice in the United States Army is as intolerable as treason or subordination. If encouraged in any degree it cannot fail to destroy discipline and weaken the physical and moral force of the establishment: The day following Gen. Castleton's rebuke of this spirit in the Kentucky camp, a colored Lieutenant was mobbed at Vicksburg by white private soldiers with civilian assistance and finally compelled to make his escape in diagnoi. He had gone to his home proud of the commission which he had carried by hard study and training. He fled not so much to save himself as to remove from his parents the danger of violence. If colored men are good enough to go to France to defend with their lives the rights of the United States, they are entitled to all the respect at home for their uniform and rank which white men receive everwhere without question. The mingled blood of lords and costumers is said almost to have obliterated class distinctions among the British who once regarded them as invincible. There can be no complete triumph for democracy so far as America is concerned which does not stifle forever the snobbery which judges a man not by his valor and capabilities but by his color. THE NEGRO IN THE WAR. (From the Greenville, (S.C.) News.) The course of the Negro race has been highly creditable in this war. Upon barren soil fell the seeds of sedition and insurrection disseminated by German agents and pro-German newspapers in an attempt to incite the Negroes to uprising against the United States. So far as we have observed, Negro leaders have been conspicuously free from reasonable utterances. Drafted Negroes have gone to the front as cheerfully as any other set of men and, if history repeats itself, they will fight with signal bravery. German bullets will send as much torture and agony into black bodies as into white. Death will not discriminate against the Negro soldier, the patriotism of these people will not be forgotten and should ever be kept in mind and taken into account for full credit in the adjustment of racial problems.

LARAYETTE STOCK TO PRODUCE E BRANDEL "Branded," that soul-stirring drama which opened at the Fulton Theatre this season and had to look at bookings at that theatre will have its first production off of Broadway next week at the Lafayette Theatre. Although the Lafayette management has produced many a strong play, "Branded" will rank as the strongest offering yet shown. To get a view of the show, visit the liberty of seeing the child's review from the New York Herald: "During dreams, processing all that is turbulent and all that is beautiful in life, is the answer in which the new four-four self-affirmation "Bewildered at the situation." The answer is displayed by the encouragement: "A more detailed description of what would be needed to stay deeply involved in the affairs of a daughter to the life of respectability in spite of the negotiation—or, rather, lack of expression—of her mother, a woman of the underworld. The first not showed Miss Christine Norman, as the daughter, happily located in a girl's summary, an assumed name cloaking her identity and affording her protection. About to become teenager, the daughter's hopes are destroyed when her mother appears at the school accompanied by "Velvet" Kraft, her associate in crime. A most realistic policeman recognizes the pair, reveals their records and, of course, the daughter is driven from the school. The daughter escapes to Paris Three years later we find her happily reunited with her husband, who is visiting from the States. Kraft locates her, blackmails her as far as he can under threat of revealing the identity of her mother. "Desperate, the wife tells the whole story to her husband. The situation provides one of the best of the big scenes, and the husband vows to remain loyal in spite of her 'taint'. He changes his mind later on and the wife leaves him, taking with her her baby Dora. She returns to New York with Kraft, becomes addicted to the use of drugs and is finally brought to the realization that her child Gora, now an avid teenager of age, is almost to fall into the churches of Kraft and his head. Realistic portrayal by Alison Illustrator of the miniature, mother lighting to save her daughter added generously to the success of the great pop song in the movie set. Where Dora is held captive, the mother knows Kraft. The husband apparently returns, only to be charged with the murder. Here again the very good policeman moves the situation by plasting the murder weapon on Tiny, one of Kraft's lieutenants.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—Tuskegee's performance Saturday in defeating morehouse College, her ancient rival, just given her claim to championship honors among colored schools of the far South. In disposing of morehouse she is given a decided step toward the coveted honors of which the Madison cleves so proudly boasted her general feeling that Tuskegee had a good team but it took just such a contest as she combined today to prove her ability. Long before the game was called, the enthusiastic students began to pour onto the field. Pretty soon the famous Tumuegne Band owing onto the field, playing "Come on Tumuegne" to the tune of "Are You from Dixie?" which set the most throng in high spirits for the classic occasion. A long string of cadence followed the band which white playing nicely rips marched and countermarched up and down the field. There was a clown dressed in Old Gold and Celtism, the colors of the school. His jubilant spirit and enthusiastic music brought "bumor." A little boy, the moolock, hold a tenonace, shouting bulldog strathing at his strap. This day was ideal from the point at view of the spectators. Morehouse opened the contest for kicking to Tuskegee. Falling to gain the Tigers kicked to Morehouse. Morehouse returned the kick. Lyons made a forward pass to Braitham, which returned it in about four minutes after the ball had been put in play. Tuskegee kicked to Braitham for the kick. Morehouse received the ball and advanced it within one yard of Tuskegee's goal line. Here the Tigers braced and held them for downs. The first quarter ended with the ball in Morehouse's territory. The second quarter opened with the ball in Morehouse's possession. After several successful line plunges she placed the ball on Tuskegee's 20-yard line and then all in a flash Warren shot a forward pass to Harris who made the first and only score for the Mayron House. Lost her chance to try for goal. So after the ball was again put in play, Blackus, Tuskegee's clever little quarterback, covered considerable distance around end. Captain Goodwin also skirted the ends and hit the line for appreciable gains. But the most sensational of all she plays was the spectacular 40-yard run around right end by Blackus, who dodged and wrigled his way past the racing Mattoon tacklers and carried the ball over for a second touchdown. Brahear backed him attentively for playoff offensively and defensively. Thomas Smith's interception of a forward pass brought apache. The first half ended with the ball in Tuskegee's possession, about midfield. Brahear, the fleet right end, soon found his way behind the goal posts for a third touchdown and failing to go goal registered in the Tiger's end in a litle while the whittle blew with a 19 to 6 victor, for the Tuskegee team. Morochue has a splendid team. Captain Warren, besides being a good field general, is a fine sportsman. Anderson and Harris were particular bright spots. In toe work Tuskegee outclassed Morochue. Both sides used an assortment of forward passes several of which were well executed and counted. He was the first quarter and had to be carried from the field. He was replaced by Thomas Smith, a young hopeful, who did credibility. Captain Goodwin, McQueney, Blankenship and Bradshaw, were without doubt the most accomplished individuals in today's game. They made numerous gains in spite of the dust that surrounded them on all their movements. Townewell, Williams, Shumis and Dillen, Hammons, and Simmons is in the backfield, played adverbially.

Vannator of the First Institutional Baptist Church --- The importance and far-reaching effect of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in declaring the Louisville segregation ordinance constitutional has not been unestimated by the Negro press of the country, which is enthusiastic over the big legal victory just won. As the result of the decision Negro voters are inclined to be more opposing as to the treatment to be accorded the Negro in the future. Some of the edictorial comment follows: Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. The Negroes have won their fight as as it is possible to be won at this time. We say this advisedly, cautiously, having in mind the statement that there exists a serious situation, which, however, the law is powerless to remedy. This may mean that there may yet continue an elusive system of segregation or discrimination which will refuse to yield to the mandates of courts. However, as the matter stands on the surface a great victory has been won and as said above, not unexpected, because things are conspiring generally to give the Negroes a better civil rating. Segregation as it is, now done by ordinance is deterred, and we think that whatever possible flipping that may tend to keep it up will be weak, falling of its own weight. The weakened sentiment in favor of the movement owes to the relations decision of the court will weaker grow and perhaps for all time, insuring the passing of legislation which tends to divide the people into hostile classes. Chicago (III.) Defendor. An attempt at framing such an ordinance was suggested at a meeting of white real estate dealers in Chicago a short time ago, but it met with such righteous opposition that the idea was abandoned. Monday's decision will lay at rest for all time these disusing attempts to 'kasserge' the progressive, property owning members of the Kace, and will lend added rest to the millions of our people who are ready to aid and even die for this country in the present great struggle for true democracy. Baltimore (Md) Afro-American. This opinion of the constitutionality of the segregation laws let us repeat is something. Let us hope it is but the溶剂 of the future device which shall declare all descrimination between citizens as contrary to the principles of a free democracy as set down in our constitution and its amendments. Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courier. The United States of America ought to feel nearer to Democracy since that decision than ever before. It would be travesty indeed if the world war would be won for Democracy before the Supreme Court, could, check, the prejudices of some un-American citizens residing in America. A pro-German citizen is admittedly an enemy to our country. But not one iota less an enemy is the man who seeks to blacken his country by the passage of any law that abridges the rights of any single citizen of the country. And before we shall be fully prepared to receive and practice the Democracy for which our sons have been sent to die, there is quite a little more house cleaning the Supreme Court must do, or we may find ourselves embarrassed when Democracy is thrust upon us. Now that the Ghetto is knocked out, let us have a decision on other phases of precjudicial legislation. Savannah (Ga.) Tribune. The Supreme Court of the United States, as was expected of it, has risen in its pre-eminence and high vision of managing justice, and put its foot in this species of class discrimination and race hate. It could not afford to less and maintain its own self-respect and the respect of its great constituency—the great people of the United States of justice and no temporizing, quibbling or jittery fuge can ever settle great social and moral questions like this one under discussion. Surely, "no question is ever settled until it is settled right." Philadelphia (Pa.) Tribune This is an important decision, the most important, we believe, as far as our race is concerned since the famous Dred Scott decision against us.

Church" was his object, they found other consults to cheat the colored citizen out of the fraternity. Norfolk (Vn.) Journal and Guide We are hopeful and optimistic. The segregation decision of 1917 is a far step from the Dred Scott decision of 1857. And it must be remembered that the decision was handed down by a Supreme Court the majority of whose members are Democrats, and whose Chief Justice is a native Southerner. The decision is unique and remarkable also for the reason that never before in the history of the Supreme Court has that tribunal reached a unanimous decision upon any question upholding the rights of the Nation. Cincinnati (O.) Union Glory to God. The Supreme Court has spoken. Segregation is a damnable doctrine, unworthy a Christian people, unworthy a civilized community, unworthy a country consecrated to liberty. Such condition, whether in streets or street cars, should not be tolerated. It breeds dissection, its breeds anarchy. In days of danger, a united country is a nation's greatest safeguard. Richmond (Va.) Planet We do not know anything that will have a greater tendency to restore the confidence of the colored people in the integrity of the courts and the sense of fair play in the nation. The action of the Supreme Court will win the cordial approval of thousands of white people, who have been more injured by the confiscatory nature and operation of the segregation laws than have the colored people, who were intended primarily to be his victims. Boston (Mass.) Guadian. At last* the U. S. Court has spoken on the most outrageous of all civil discommunications, residence race segregation. As often family predicted, this extreme form of color segregation was adjudged unconstitutional. This is a most important victory for rights for colored Americans. As the Guardian has often said, segregation is the most dangerous form of proscription because it can be more difficult to enforce than some other forms. This residence segregation was its most dangerous and injurious form, because it was related to money-making. Chicago (III.) Idea. It has long been the hope of the controlling element in the South that, when "Negro Secrecation" had been thoroughly entrenched and established in that section, that similar agitations were to be launched in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and other cities of the North, and like ordinances passed and thus "seegregation" or race separation was to become nationalized. But, thanks to the Supreme Court, this dream of the race-hating south goes tumbling into that chantic mass of unconstitutional laws intended to keep down and degrade the colored race "Thank God the government at Washington still lives" and constitutional liberty and fair play have an unwavering champion in the Supreme Court of the United-States Atlanta (Ga.) Independent In fact, the Supreme Court In this great decision, confirms the Declaration of Independence, "that all men are created equal, and endowed by their Constitution with certain inalienable rights—life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." This has been the standard for over a hundred and forty years, but it is just now being reduced to practice. Let us thank God that there is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and that, in His own good time, we will mete out justice to all men without regard to race, color or position of servitude. Then let us possess our patience; we do our duty as God given the light to see it, and in due time we will reap the reward if we faint not. Nashville (Tenn.) Globe. The decision of the court is a right-eous one. It gives to the Negro that which was already his by divine right. This decision will tend to stop the Negro baiting which has been so prevalent in certain cities of the United States, and which once threatened Nashville. There never has been any good cause save hatred and prejudice, for the passage of segregation laws. Raleigh (N. C.) Independent. While Justice Day's conclusions are sound to the core and leave no ground upon which to base any similar future action, it is not up to the great deliv- erance. While Justice Clark of our State Supreme Court has a subject. Judge Clark's opinion was one of the finest ever delivered by any court in the country. Shreveport (La) Nova Enterprises If we possess rights we would like to know it and feel they are ours. Don't jump to conclusions and don't try to move too fast. Do not hurrah too loud into what belongs to us and by producing we can retain it. Mod Mach (M. d.) Fahro. We have always maintained that this idea of restriction on property which seemed only to affect Negroes and Indians was a rank injustice and a group touch to the Negro race in particular. Let we hope from now on that a man is a man whether white or black before the law, with equal rights and privileges. Louverture (Ky.) Mavin It is a precious victory for the uncolored people of the city of Louisville, and a fitting reward for the sacrifices we have made to test this case in the highest court in the land; it being the first case of this kind ever before the Supreme Court, and, consequently, the first time the enquestion of racial segregation has been passed upon by that body. Theunning off, in its characteristic thirteenth chapter, leads us to believe that the segregation has been working to advantage in Louisville of both the colored and white races. The Post knows full well that the enactment of the segregation ordinance was not brought about by either economic or social necessity, not even of expediency, but that it was purely a In group work, we often need students that collaborate with other students on an economic basis that would make the object sought equally attainable to either. St. Paul (Minor) Appeal We might say much in reference to this act of tardy justice, but we will satisfy ourselves by saying: "Praise God from whom all bleasing flow." Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter. Here in Birmingham we were fortunate in having among our people a lawyer who, without calling for the expenditure of a single dollar, and merely out of an unselfish desire to serve his race, was able to safeguard his people against an uniquitous law from the very outset, so that they were not compelled to suffer the injustice of its operation for a single day. The race would be blessed if we had a larger number of such men and such lawyers throughout the country. The Government of the United States can be depended upon to do right; and much of the colored man's oppression is due to the fact that he won't exercise his rights under the law. Galveston (Tex.) Times. The highest court of the land has set in action a turning back to those people of this country who have for over half a century thought that colored people had no rights that white people were bound to respect. The colored people of this country are truly American citizens, having been for all these years of residence. It would now be far better for the whole nation and all others to destroy all signs of hatred that produce a spirit to arouse the heart and soul of mankind to despise his brother white or black. We are done on the bricks of a society over of human justice and let's awaken to its action. St. Louis (Mo.) Clarion. The decision in the four-suite case is given added weight by the fact that it was the maximus verbum of the same tribunal that said the injunction "Grandfather Clauses" that for a generation has distinctions between the New Jersey in the state of New York and the South Carolina in the state for this hefted act of injunction and let us remember that, all things come to him who waits. Now for the "Jun Crow" Car Law Cleveland (O.) Advocate. This decision, rendered by Justice Day, of our own great state of Ohio, is a notice to the South that her growing policy of repression and injustice is at an end; that the colored man who has given his blood for the establishment and preservation of this country and who is now rushing to the front to help "make the world safe for democracy," has been more and more less. That decision rendered by the Supreme Court cannot help but encourage us all, and arouse within us the belief that, after all, God reigns and the government at Washington still exists Denver (Colo.) Stateman. But a few months ago we had an experience of a white organization in Denver endeavoring to get our mayor and council to pass a segregated ordinance on the same order of Louisville, but the foresight of this body of representative citizens prevailed, and they should have given an apologetic decision, but they were persistent efforts of a number of white taxpayers, and as a case was slated for the Supreme Court, the matter was kept in abeyance awaiting the present decision. YOJING BOOKER T. DOING WORK FATHER ASSIGNED (Special to The New York Am.) Tuskegee, Ala.—If Booker T. Washington, 2nd, is asked how he so successfully gets the colored people in the rural communities to respond to his request to help themselves to secure a new school house, he has for an answer, simply "I like the work." The Rosenwald aid is a contingent fund, is a stimulus, a seducing nucleus, unfolding itself in triplicate. To obtain a new schoolhouse in place of the old one, or where there is nothing but a shamly substitute, or none at all, the State contributes one-third of the cost of construction, the Rosenwald fund one-third, and the community the remaining third and the plot of ground for its location. A suitable schoolhouse costs not less than $900. To get that remaining one-third out of the people of the community is the task of young Washington. The odds against him are many. He must first meet the people at their church schoolhouse. The minister must be placeted and reckoned with, so that permission may be obtained to address his congregation. The colored preacher in a rural community usually has a very overcrowding personality. He knows his competence and is well versed in the production and the services and the introduction of visiting ministers, with their "short exhortations," and "brief remarks" and the "replier preachin'" or person by the pastor, and the exhausting collections. Washington is given an opportunity to address the congregation, now worn out with fatigues, and drained empty in their purse. Very little money for building a new school can ever be raised after these services. However, this is the only occasion, "regular preaching" once a month, when the whole community comes together, and the representative of the Chicago philanthropist must make use of this opportunity to launch his campaign for a new schoolhouse. Six or seven men, the most progressive At your dealer's or send 16cts in stamps to imposition of the laws of the city on the community, the proud overcrowd and defiance of their community wealth, the people—in spite of the severity of the minister, the mercy and loyal devotion to the many sacred orders, whose aortic swarm is buried in their homes, bring followed, hit by a heart of civil war, remaining substance to meet the condition—precedent toward obtaining a new and up to date school house. But very little money-getting can be left to the royal trustees; Washington must make a house-to-house campaign. He must traverse the steps of the minister; he must compete with the emissaries of the Royal Knights, of King David, the Knights and Daughters of Tabor; the Brothers and Sisters, Sons and Daughters of Moses; the Gallican Fisherman; the Mosaic Templars; the Wise Men and Women; the Good Shepherds; the Sons and Daughters of Peace; the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten; etc. He must assemble his wagons from the musts in their wagons from the collection, and attend their churches; he must join them in their procession over the collection, and mingle with them in their great spreads, after the church rally in the churchyard. In spite of the many obstacles he encounters young Washington is getting results. More than fifty Rosenwald schools have been constructed, within the last three or four years in Alabama alone. And now another schoolhouse has just been completed at Jackson Prospect, a colored community, Montgomery County, ten miles from the city of Montgomery. The Jackson Prospect schoolhouse is an elegant buildings location where was once a part of the Grell plantation. A plot of two acres was donated by the owner, a prominent business, white man of Montgomery, plus attaching an imprisoned devotion to the improvement of the people in that community. The new school has a pleasing perspective, and is in every respect modern. It has two spacious rooms, high ceiling, a sanitary kitchen, and well ventilated closets for the children's wraps. The shades and lights are most effectively brought out, and the playground is beautifully ornamented with large trees and an indigenous turf. The greatest distance the farthest children have to walk is just a little more than a mile, and the man road to the city of Montgomery is one-quarter mile distance. Young Washington does not cease its efforts so soon as the building is completed, and until the rooms are filled out with decks, blackboards, and other equipment. It was for this purpose, Sunday, October 4, that he carried down a party of teachers and officers of the Tuskegee Institute to assist him in a fine appeal for the complete equipment of this new schoolhouse, which will cost in all a little more than $1,000.

(Continued from page. one) rational provisions Congress enacted in 1866, Chap. 31, Sec. 1, 14th Stat. Z2 that: "All citizens of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory, as is enjoyed by white citizens thereof to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and con- "All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be proclaimed, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses and exactions of every kind, and no other. "In the face of these constitutional and statutory provisions, can a white man be denied, consistently with due process of law, the right to dispose of his property to a purchaser by prohibiting the occupation of it for the sole reason that the purchaser is a person of color intending, to occupy, the premises as a plate of residence." All Citizens Have Same Right to Purchase Property. "The statute of 1866, originally passed under sanction of the Thirteenth Amendment, 14 Stat. 27, and practically enacted after the adoption of the fourteenth Amendment, 16 Stat. 144, expressly provided that all citizens of the United States in any state shall have the same right to purchase property as enjoyed by white citizens. Colored persons are citizens of the United States and have the right to purchase property and enjoy and use the same without laws discriminating against them solely on account of color. Hall v. DeCur, 95 U. S. 485, 508. These enactments did not deal with the social rights of men, but with the fundamental property which it intended to enforce the same terms to citizens of race and color. Civil Rights Casez, 109 U. S. 3, 22. The Fourteenth Amendment and these statutes enacted in furtherance of its purpose operate to qualify and entitle a colored man to acquire property without state legislation discriminating against him solely because of color. "That there exists a serious and difficult problem arising from a feeling of race hostility which the law is powerless to control, and to which it must give a measure of consideration, may be freely admitted. But its solution cannot be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges. "As we have seen, this court has held laws valid which separated the races on the basis of equal accommodations in public conveyances, and courts of high authority have held enactments lawful which provide for separation in the public schools of white and colored people where equal rights are secured. But in respect of the rights secured by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution such legislation must have its limitations, and cannot be sustained where the exercise of authority exceeds the restraints of the Constitution. We think these limitations are exceeded in laws and ordinances of the character now before us. "It is the purpose of such enactments, and it is frankly avowed it will be their ultimate effect, to require by law, at least in residential districts, the compulsory separation of the races on account of color. Such action is said to be essential to the maintenance of the purity of the races, although it is to be noted in the ordinance under consideration that the employment of colored servants in white families is permitted, and nearby residences of colored persons not coming within the blocks, as defined in the ordinance, are not prohibited. "The case presented does not deal with an attempt to prohibit the amalgamation of the races. The right which the ordinance annulled was the civil right of a white man to dispose of his property if be saw fit to do so to a person of color and of a colored person to make such disposition to a white person. "It is argued that this proposed segregation will promote the public peace by preventing race conflicts. Desirable as this is and important as is the preservation of the public peace, this aim cannot be accomplished by laws or ordinance, because the Federal Government is protected by the Federal Constitution." It is said that such intimidation by colored persons deprived property owned in the neighborhood by white persons. But property may be acquired by undesirable white neighbors or put in disproveable by lawful men with like resemblance.

The plans which completed he will send to the Forum so that they may meet the authorities in this work. All present were invited to help and willingly wormed their minds. Lincolnshire men had some interesting bits concerning Captain William Hewson who was the modest to speak of himself. He is not only a soldier and officer of 50 years experience in the regular army, but was also an instructor at Camp Des Moines. The Captain is held in high esteem by his associate officers. The assistance was favored by a solo "The Young Warrior," by J. W. Lorken. This song was touched those present he was compelled to repeat it. BIG BROTHERS TO HAVE JUNIOR POLICE. For the first time in the history of New York City a Junior Police organization is to be formed under the direction of the Big Brother organization. Organizations of this kind have been formed among the white boys in various sections of the city but none for the colored boys. J. C. Dancy, secretary of the Colored Big Brothers, has gotten the support of Leroy Peterson, secretary of the Welfare Bureau, to pledge himself to have this movement started. It will embrace the district bounded by 135th and 144th street, north and south, and Seventh and Madison avenues, cast and west. This will give the boys in this community an opportunity to do police work in this section. Uniforms and badges are to be secured for the youngsters which will make them look like real nolicemen. The Big Brother work at the Colored Orphan Asylum is going along nicely and the authorities at the institution are enthusiastic over the result obtained thus far. The Big Brothers plan an entertainment for their Little Brothers on Thursday, November 22, at the St. James' Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Frank Hyder, pastor. One of the auxiliaries of the church is to serve this reception for the Big and Little Brothers. A MUSICAL FESTIVAL An opportunity will be afforded the devotees of music on Thursday evening, November 22, at Mother Zion Church, the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor, to witness a present-of exceptional interest by a great appreciation of musical prodigies from the Martin-Smith School of Music, of which Prof. David L. Martin is the directing pianist. A Toy Symphony by Hayden—a composition of music to be played on toys, will be skillfully handled by some wonderful little musicians. It is a decided departure and is quite more to please. The Young People's Orchestra, and directed by Mike Minaia Brown, an artist of reputation and distinction, and recognized as such by the best critics, is composed of little folks whose claims to genius cannot be successfully disputed. Another distinct innovation calculated to arose widespread interest and provoke deserved admiration will be the twelve most beautiful ushers in all New York bewitching of feature, sinowy of form and divinely carved. The buffet supper served at the conclusion of the concert will be above the ordinary. Popular admission prices will prevail. Late comers will discover that the program began at 8:30. Adv. Y. M. C. A. The Honorable E. A. Johnson, the newly elected assemblyman will address the "Big Meeting" which will be held at the Public Library, 103 West 135th Street, Sunday afternoon, November 18 at 4 p. m. The subject will be "Getting Together." Mr. Johnson is the first colored man to be elected to the Legislature of the State of New York. Eugene Kinclek Jones gave an interesting talk on the Congressional Investigation of the East St. Louis riot at the meeting last Sunday. Much interest is being manifested in the $25,000,000 campaign which is being conducted by the Y. M. C. A; for the work among soldiers and it is the earliest wish of the Committee of Management that the colored citizens will feel a responsibility in this matter and will contribute to the same in order that the branch may make a credible showpiece. Each branch in the city is endeavoring to get the members and friends of the association to make contributions to this worthy cause. Contributions can be made at the 135th Street Branch, the 53d Street Branch, or to any member of the following committee: Henry C. Parker, Harry Bearden, A. T. Anderson, Dr. Charles H. Roberts, W. E. Handy, Dr. G. Henderson, Dr. Leo Fitz Nearon, John C. Hawkins, J. H. Collins, Jr., T. O. Challenger, W. V. Bond, James A. Anderson, David L. Clark, T. H. Parker, Fred Miller, E. A. Johnson, Dr. E.

Holmes, Alexander Henderson, Benjamin Thomas, C. A. Cilliam, Jr., W. H. Hart, Doncon Johnson, John B. Nail and George E. Voting. Some of the churches have already made contributions and the committee is desks of having each one of the church congregations make contributions in the name of the church on next Sunday when representatives from the association will be present to receive same. NOTICE St. James throbbed with life and spiritual activity all day Sunday. Dr. Hyder preached at both invocation and three periods joined the church.
