Every Odd-Fellow should be a good citizen and it is the duty of each to feel an interest in having elected to office the best person or persons obtainable, but, the lodge room is no fit or proper place to thrash out such matters.

The committee was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. James Like, who had been victims of this treatment. The Mayor promised to take up the matter with the theatres' managers with a view to the suppression of the practice. Samuel Barnett of the Milwaukee Road has been suffering with a very bad eye.

FINDS TEOHNICAL DEFECT IN LAW Proves Escape By Strategy Not Prison Breach—Colored Lawyer Raises Novel Question and Wins Decision. (Bv G.M.R.) That white men are not alone learned in the law and colored lawyers are able to note and appreciate its technicalities, is evidenced by the signal victory just won by Attorney G. H. DeReef in the Municipal Court of Milwaukee County. In August, one E. Adrians, an inmate of the House of Correction, while working on the county road, escaped the vigilance of the guards and fled to Chicago. There he was arrested and brot back to prison and made to serve out his term. At its expiration, GEO. DE REEF September 28th, he was tried in the District Court on the charge of Breaking the House of Correction and escaping therefrom. As there was no dispute as to the facts, Mr. DeReef, defendant's counsel, prepared to argue the question of law—whether defendant's escape constituted an offense under the laws of Wisconsin. The Judge peremptorily refused to hear the argument and ordered any evidence to be put in, which was declined, and on the testimony adduced by the state, the defendant was found guilty and sentenced to a term of one year in prison. Counsel then appealed the case to the Municipal Court when on Oct. 27th it was heard and all of the facts alleged by the state admitted, but the same contention made that granting everything alleged to be true, still the defendant is guilty of no offense under the law. This contention being vigorously disputed by the District Attorney in person. Judge Backus, because of the importance of the question raised and its effect upon other cases recently tried and others to follow, took the matter under advisement requesting that written briefs be filed by both sides. After a month's examination of the authorities the Judge has just handed down a decision reversing Judge Page of the lower Court and sustaining Mr. DeReef in his entire contention. The Judge suggested that steps be taken to fit the situation. The present law has been on the statute books for more than a half century and under it many men similarly situated have been convicted and forced to serve time. Mr. George Herriott DeReef is one of the most sincere attorneys in the profession. He always enters his clients cases as conscientiously as if defending himself and is known from Washington. D. C. and other points in the East where he has practiced as an efficient technical lawver. Wisconsin people should feel proud of the honor to possess such an able jurist.

Smith who was brought from Madison, Wis., under and by virtue of a requisition from the Governor of Mississippi to answer the charge of embezzlement alleged against him, was released from custody by order of the Circuit Court without a trial.

BLADELETS Away with traitors! No hyphen bridges our Americanism. If not with the country you are against it. "Ask no favors because you are Negroes but only for justice because you are men." Even in the face of a common enemy some Americans are unwilling to lay aside their prejudices. A correspondent writes us that her husband is such a light sleeper she has to ask him for every cent she gets. Smarting even as we do under the cruel stripes inflicted by our fellow countrymen and countenanced by the nation, yet will we not desert her in her time of trial. We are AMERICANS, and maybe, of African descent, but we repudiate the hyphenated term, Afro-American, the Madison Democrat's opinion to the contrary notwithstanding.
