SUPREME COURT UNDOING WO UNDOING WORK OF BR Continued from Page one which recently passed the House of Rep with few dissenting votes, in now public readers: House Bill No. 1—Anthony—An act in their city and public rights. House of Representatives is now published below Shony—An act to provide the rights. Be it enacted which recently passed the House of Representatives of the Kansas Legislature, with few dissenting votes, is now published below for the information of our readers: House Bill No. 1—Anthony—An act to provide for the protection of citizens in their city and public rights. Be it enacted by the Legislature of the state of Kansas: Section 1. No citizen of this state by reason of color, or previous condition of servitude, be excepted or excluded from the full and equal enjoyment of any accommodation, advantage, facility or privilege furnished by mukopers, by common carriers, whether on land or water, by licensed owners, managers or lessees of theaters or other places of amusements, by trustees, commissioners, superintendents, teachers, and other officers of common schools, and public institutions of learning, and by cemetery associations. Section 2. The violation of any part of the first section of this act shall be deemed a misdemeanor, and the party or parties violating the same shall upon conviction thereof be subject to a fine of not less than fifty or not more than one thousand dollars. Section 3. Discrimination against any citizen on account of color, by the use of the word "white" or any other term, in any law, statute ordinance or regulation now existing in this state, be hereby repealed and annulled. Section 4. That all acts or parts of such conflicting with this act be laid and the same are hereby repealed. This act shall take effect from any time after its passage. The same paper under date of Feb. 26th of the same year stated: "The Senate would not pass the civil rights House bill No. 1, but amended by inserting their bill with school house struck out. The bill in this shape was concurred in by the House today." The Commonwealth under date of Jan. 27, 1874 said: "S. B. 34, an act to better secure the civil rights of the people of Kansas, was taken up and Senator Winter proceeded to address the Senate speaking from manuscript. He spoke at great length and was frequently interrupted by applause. At the conclusion of his remarks his fellow Senators crowded around him and warmly congratulated him upon the effort he had just made in behalf of the down-grodden race." "Mr. Munley it offered an amendment providing that the act should not prevent voters or boards of education from maintaining separate schools for colored children giving them equal educational advantages. "Mr. Winter opposed the amendment as being calculated to sap the very foundation of his bill. The measure did not compel white and colored children to attend the same school, but left everybody free to act as they believed best. At the same time the bill did not exclude colored children from white schools or white children from colored schools. Mr. Murdock favored the amendment and thought there was as much prejudice on one side as the other of the question. People could not help entertaining a prejudice and no law should be passed that would so seriously affect the public schools as the penting bill would." The following legislators voted for the bill: A. M. Blair, Ottawa; Henry Rodson, Lawrence; C. R. Butler, Troy; H. Baker, Jewel City; J. H. Citron, Ontopa; A. F. Ely, LaCygne; W. H. Grimes, Atkinson; W. E. Guerin, Fort Point; W. M. Palmile, Madison; N. C. M. Parland, Topeka; J. T. McWhirt, Greenworth; E. N. Mottrig, Trawatha; M. M. Mundock, Wichita; M. A. O'Neil, Black Jack; L. R. Palmer, St. Marys; J. W. Rogera, Bayle's Station; Frank Schmidt, Marysville; W. L. Simons, Orange Mission; Wm. Simpson, Pawnee Station; P. H. Topping, Somerset; J. C. Wilson, Muscatah; A. M. Vork, Independence Those absent or not voting: Henry Brandley, Matfield Green; Thais, Butler, LaRoy; R. Judd, Wyndustite; W. M. Matlons, Bastard Spring; Thom Musslight LaWynmouth, Nathan Price, Troy; John P. St. John Olarwat N. P. Wilson, Adler, Jacob Winter, Atkinson. Now, dear judge, do you think that the author of that bill intended that restaurants, catering and kitchenettes or anything in a public nature should escape that law? Deep down in your soul, you know that the Civil Rights Bill was passed to carry out the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court which said that Congress did not have the right but that it was left to the states. Your court has made a root ball of the Civil Rights statute and has almost nullified it. Now every case pertaining to the rights of colored people have been decided against them on some flimsy protest. There should not be any special laws in favor of or against any class or race giving one the advantage over the other. Your court by that decision has one untold harm to the colored race of Kansas that will retard their progress for the next fifty years in Kansas. Railroad during cars, and writing houses can and will refuse colored passengers accommodation from now on under your unjust decision. They were up to this time treating them like citizens. Your unjust decision puts them in the hog class, they will be put in the kitten. Your count forgot that banana was not aside as the known or the oppressed. You gentlemen have binned the bridges behind you and your chances of becoming judges of any 17. Court are slim. The President will not send the name of a man for judge who is known to have tendered an unjust decision against anyone. Judge Hohn sent the Lighthot court by a truth turn on the colored face. He was bitterly approved and lost. Two in three now have fallen by the way side for similar to. While the voters may elect somebody on the supreme court of a state, the President has to be careful if the just class of judges mostly enter to public sentiment and the case of voters who elect them. If the colored people were in the water, their decision would have been different. In has case your court had a wide latitude to conform to public opinion. You could have decided the case and not reserved yourselves nor any decision made by former judges since the establishment of the Supreme Court. If the Civil Rights statute did not warrant you in doing justice, why did you not take up the rights which relied "All men are empowered of equal and unimpaired rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Your court does not seem to give much attention to important cases pertaining to colored people. We have in mind the McLomote case of Fort Scott, a white woman and her husband were the tenants of a colored man and they put up a defense to his own personal property by blackmail. He charged the capital crime of criminal assault. He was tried and convicted; appealed the case to your court. The case was full of errors but your court affirmed the decision and you would have come to prison had not Judge Dibard, a Democrat, asked for a retaliation, and he pointed out so many glaring errors the court allowed If you have a few dollars lying idle and Want to make BIG MONEY--No promise But the Ready Cash, Write the "Investment Broker" 1315 E. 18th Street Kansas City, Mo. In new trial. At the second trial he was exonerated. Justice Marshall and Mason dissented in giving him a new trial. At the second trial the accusers had left the county. We do not think that the court gives enough time or concern in examining cases where colored people are concerned. We hate to say it but this last decision shows the plain spirit. There was no excuse for this outrageous decision. No confident was the defendant of winning his case that he did not even file a brief. The Bible that you gentlemen took your oath of office on contains under its hula a passage telling where the Saviour turned away the Pharisee who refused to feed the hungry or care for the sick. We think that the meanest thing a person can do is to refuse a person these two things spoken of by the Saviour and your court should have thought of this before you tendered that unjust decision against a poor and unfortunate race which you gentlemen's ancestry is responsible for. It is cowardly for all of these millions of white people with their wealth continue to foster race prejudice against a hand full of poor people trying to struggle for existence. It shows cowardice on the part of the white man when he passes segregation law and supreme court to unhinder them. The Republican party of years ago stood up for the rights of the black man. The so-called Republicans of today are doing all they can to retard them, had this come up during Justice Horton's term of office, the law would have been sustained. The spirit of the law should have been upheld. The cultural people of Kansas do not want to push themselves upon anyone or their business but they do want a citizen's rights and it does not take any special laws or civil rights bills to give it to them. All eating places, grocery stores, meat markets and other places of a similar nature come under the supervision of the State Board of Health and Hotel and Fating House Commission, which keep a strict supervision over them in matters pertaining to cleanliness and conformity to the law. The colored people pay taxes to support the laws and the commission that supervise them. When any one of these places becomes nilty or unfit for the public to patronize, it is closed up and the public is given notice. Under the decision here discussed, it does not apply to the colored race—a bog pen or any kind of old dump would be good enough for them, or at least it looks that way from us. All public eating places, grocery stores, and meat markets are given gradual certificates for cleanliness, and this is also given to the public. Hon. William M. Bradshaw would have gone to a colored person's restaurant had there been one in the town. Since there was no eating house run by a member of his race, he went to this one as it must have been clean an O. K. or the state would not have allowed it to remain open. Being a citizen and a lawyer he thought he was acting within his rights. Now comes the Supreme Court of Kansas forowing positive Taney, who said that a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect; this decision means that in effect. The court has stretched itself in former decisions to conform to the law.

LESS WOMEN EMPLOYED Washington, Feb. 10.- Contrary to popular opinion, the United States women's bureau says there were less women employed in 1920 than in 1919. The bureau has this statement on a study of the census statistics. "In continental United States 8548511 women ten years of age and over were gainfully employed on January 1, 1920," says the bureau. This number represents an actual increase of nearly half a million since 1910; but if the increase in population be taken into consideration, the proportion of all women ten years of age and over gainfully occupied decreased from 234 per cent in 1910 to 21.1 per cent in 1920." There was a decrease in the number of women employed as servants, as farm laborers, as dress makers, and as millers. "On the whole, the great change seems to have been in a decrease among women working in or for the home and personal service occupations, and a corresponding increase in clerical and allied occupations, in teaching, and in nursing, all of which have been women employing positions for many decades but have not before reached such numerical importance," it is stated. There is no substitute for thorough- going, ardent, sincere earnestness. Charles Dickens. Things don't turn up in this world till somebody hunts them up. A ponder of pluck is worth a ten of luck.

The Apprentice's Club is composed of young men employed at the Santa Fe shops who are preparing themselves for good positions with that company. The club first started with five apprentices Aaron Green Jr., Neal Harris, T. Cim, C. Scott and Ernest Powers, and I now am able to seventeen well trained and cultured young men. These young men are the first Negro apprentices in the U.S. of their craft. Mr. Leon Green Jr. was their choice for President and he is worthy of the office he holds, as he is very businesslike in every respect and if he follows in the path of Aaron, Sr., he will not only be a leader for the present but a leader for posterity. On Thursday the 5th, instant, a de- lite, "Resolved That the Fear of Pun- ishment Has a Greater Influence over the Human Conduct than the Hope of Renewal."

A., Widita, Kansas, addressed us on "Social Work in the Church and Community." It was one of the best ever delivered before our people.

Purton is pastor. ing at different times were: Mr. Arthur Burton, representing Shawnee County. Mr. Geo. McCalep, representing Douglas County, Mr. Clyde Langston, Summer High, Wyandotte County, and Dr. Garnett of K. I. F. I. One delightful phase of the Conference was the manner in which the people in general helped to make it a success. Both white and colored rallied to the front with the use of cars to handle the delegates and threw open the doors of their homes that there might be ample homes to house the visitors. Words fail in expressing the gratitude felt by the officials in charge of the Conference for such fine cooperation on the part of such a large number of people. The Colored Hi-Y Quartette of Topeka High School, composed of Messrs. Theodore Duke, Willie Alston, Andrew Jackson and Enoch West furnished music for the banquet at the Central Park Christian church on Friday evening, and at the morning session at Washburn College Saturday. The boys did fine and showed a marked improvement over their singing of a year ago at the convention at the First Presbyterian church. Absolutely no time was wanted. From 4:30 p. m. Friday until the close of the conference at 5:30 Sunday afternoon, and on until the close of the church services Sunday night the visiting secretaries were kept busy. They surely ought not to forget Topka and the Tooka District Older Baya Conference, the Group N. M. C. A. regular Sunday afternoon meeting where a large audience had waited patiently for them for more than an hour and who greeted them with cheers when they entered.

Anderson of the Topka Plaindalee, where Mr. Hutcherson hastened to the Central Park Christian church where he was to address the Young People's Meeting and from which place he went to Nishihab Baptist church to another Young People's Meeting. From K. I. E. L. Gregg, Craver, Green, Anderson and Dr. Garnett went to St John A. M. E. church where following short talks by the Secretaries, Mr. Craver gave illustrated an lecture on the Colored "V" work at home and abroad. In all thirteen different audiences were addressed by the four secretaries including six churches, three Sunday Schools, Y. M. C. A. Forum, Y. M. C. A. Committee of Management, and morning and evening meetings at the K. I. E. L. In this manner about 2500 People were reached in one day.

Just what caused the car to leave the bridge, carrying the railing with it, is not known. The automobile landed in the shallow stream that flowed under the bridge but Mrs. Johnson was pinned beneath it. The force of the fall, it is believed, in the cause of her instantaneous death.

THE BEACON LIGHT ```markdown ``` It may be that some of our readers may think we have a personal grudge against the N. A. A. C.P. but really we have no personal grudge whatever against them but when we read about the accomplishments of branches, in other cities and think of the battery of our Topeka branch, naturally we become a little pessful, for who wants his home town left way behind in anything? It is such accomplishments as this which causes us to think so but of our brain when it fails to put forth any effort to do some of the things for which it is supposed to exist. "Activity of the Tolelo branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has resulted in plogues by the editors of the three daily papers of that city that the word Negro will be called with a capital N; that the insulting word "megress" will be described; and that orders will be given to mention race only where such mention would be applied to other races. The Tolelo branch worked through a committee consisting of Rev. P. A. Nichols, Attys, B. H. Fisher, and Albertus Brown. This committee called on the editors of the "Tolelo Blade, Times and News like, leaving with each editor a written memorandum, with suggestions for bettering relations between the races, two suggestions have been adopted by the three dukes." Perhaps this was a great accomplishment on the part of the Toledo branch, and may do a world of good toward bettering social relations, but we seriously doubt that the masses of the colored people, who after all really determine what our relations shall be, care one into whether the word Negro is capitalized, as long as other discriminations are practiced against them every day. The Toledo only Capital uses a capital when referring to Negroes but prepares discriminations on past the same. The Cleveland Gazette from which we got our information, in chalng the Cleveland Ohio which foits its inactivity has this to say in the same californian. Here is a valuable "pointer" for the local branch of the same organization. Put H. has had so very many pointers" (and kibbs) and his dons NOHIMI really worth while, as compared to the above, we have lost all hope of its ever becoming a live enough to do anything like it, under its present leadership.

Anderson hotels, picture theaters, theaters, and all other places of amusement and entertainment for which houses are required, to use the words of the statute. so far we have never heard of any actions attempt on the part of the N. N. P. to have the provisions of the law control out and like many others who are too timid to express themselves publicly we see to excuse whatever for the existence of the oral branch of the N. N.

League, under what direction; The Equal Rights League with Negro President; The National Association of Colored Women's Cubs headed by a colored woman, Ollalie Q. Brown, who hoisted of making 42 speeches for a white man against a Negro candidate for Governor of Ohio. The National Medical Association, with a colored man president, etc. etc. Finally, the year has been one of progress we only develop our racial consciousness to that of the Jew or Irish we will be able to write a different view with more outstanding accomplishments and with more pride or those a compilations than we are able to do this year.

The game was fast through and was a real gentleman's one as the one was never stopped to discuss the rules; the referee made good decisions, tactics, and players of both teams. I cleaned game, Captain Williams got a slight morsel on his lip and Captain Smith got his chin knocked, all of which were accidentally done. After the game the players were directed to the hall where the steam of the pool was in waiting and a way on the evening was spent in crossing the door and watering their cannels.
