THE ALTON SCHOOL TROUBLE

THE ALTON SCHOOL TROUBLE
The board of education in the city of
Alton, conceived of a spirit to do some
thing smart, and to carry out it's own
personal ideas regardless of the majority
of it's citizens, during the vacation
months had erected two small ill-con-
structed buildings of two rooms each,
set apart for the accommodation of some
$500 Afro-American children and us
now trying to prohibit them from attend
ing any others. It matters not to what
inconvenience they are put or how far
they would have to travel in order to
reach either of them 80 far as they are
concerned. in short they have consider
ed their importance great enough to
draw the "color line" in the home of
Lovejoy and the great commonwealth of
Illinois, whose tenor is unfriendly to
separate institutions. The Afro-Ameri-
cans have secured local counsel who, by
their request, has called into the case,
as assistant, that specimen of manhood
and champion of human rights Gen.
eral John M. Palmer and the matter
will be contested in the courts. It is not
an idle boast to predict verdict in their
favor. Tie Afro-Americans at Quincy a
few years ago had similar experience
and the Supreme Court held:
| This is direct violation of the statue, which
says that the board Is prohibited from excluding
directly or indirectly, any such child from suct

bright colors-Chicago stanks to-day

world as the most cosmopolitan. The
question of color, creed or natl >nality is
only measured by the qualifications of
merit, fitness and capacity. The Afro

Nowhere in America is the line of pros
cription 70 loosely drawn. 1t is the
haven of refuge for the down trodden
and the poor. Before the courts of JUS

to the word of the white. In what ever
other cities are great Chicago excels.

CHICAGO.

Mrs Fannie Barrier Williams recent

an article for the St. Louis Expositor
on "Why Af.o Americans love to live in
Chicago" which had the effect of string
the ire of many Of the denizens of hat
sleepy old hamlet to a white heat of
jealousy, and now comes the Indiarapo-
lis Freeman, to their defense in an edi-
torial under the above caption-Chicago.
Our esteemed contemporary, after ad-
hitting many of the advantages set forth
by Mrs. Williams, to be enjoyed by the
race in the great bustling metropolis, as
truism, takes particular exception to that
lady's endearing mention of "Sweet
Chicago, and adds that such an asser-
ton should be made with modification
fer while the city holds out more to the
Afro-American for good, on the other
hand, for some good reason, there is al
so, standing invitation to ruin. Even
