Civil Rights in Texas.
In the United States District Court for
the Eastern district of Texas, Judge Nor
rlils, in an opinion in relation TO the civil
rights bill given in the charge of the grand
Jury, says: BY the constitution to the
United States, it is provided that all
persons, born or naturalized, in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States
ana OF the State wherein they reside: no
State shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States, nor shall any
State deprive any person of life liberty or
property without process of law, nor DENY
to any person within its jurisdiction the
equal protection of the law. This section
| OF the fourteenth amendment of the
constitution Is simply prohibition
against any State from passing
! any law that has tendency to
| jnjure any person, but it does not pre-
tend to furnish penalty tor the commits
sion OF any OF the acts done by individuals
in States where the law is silent relative
thereto. To meet this omission, on the first
OF March, 1919. Congress prepared an act to
protect all citizens in their ciru and legG,
rights. l have italicized civil and legal,
for the purpose OF showing that these
| rights only and not social rights, are
intended by the act. The first section
of this act provides that all persons within
the jurisdiction of the United States shall
be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment
of the accommodations, advantages, facii.
ties and privileges OF taverns, public CON
veyances on land and water, theatres and
other places of public amusement, etc. |
take this to mean that all persons
have legal right to have board
and lodging at an inn, transportation
on steamers and railroads or stages, and
an entrance in a theatre, but while they
have these legal rights hey do not thereby
acquire any social rights. A landlord of
an lnn and conductor of q railroad train
or manager of theatre must have due
regard to the social condition of those who
patronize him. While he must respect the
legal rights of all he must also respect the
al yuht 70 of oil To Lo1l Al.
conductor of railroad train can not as
sign a special Car to ladies and children
and their attendants to the exclusion of all
others, provided other passengers are fur
nlshed with other cars, with all necessary
facilities for travelling, would be to stab
social rights, privileges and immunities.
Therefore, my view of the act Is that it
was not intended to affect social rights, but
civil and legal righ hts. If it shall be made
to appear that any innkeeper has refused
proper facilities to any one on account of
race, color or previous condition, or if a
railroad conductor has failed to furnish a
proper seat in his cars, or a manager of a
theatre has excluded from his theatre any
one from similar reason you will be author
lied to find true bill against them.

since the extreme cold OF the middle of
April has not been high enough to Gauss
much development of buds or grain. The
fruit crop in the Southern portion of the
State generally is considered gone, while a
partial crop is expected inrhe Northern
counties.
Crop Prospects in Nebraska.
OMAHA, May 3.-On account of the back
wardness of the season, the recent trOste
have done but little damage. The prospect
for wheat, oats and fruit is believed to be
the finest ever known in this vicinity.
Orchard and forest tree planting has been
very extensive this season. 1t IS thought
the late frosts have destroyed the embryo
grasshoppers.
