The executive committee of the Afro
American League has written to Hon.
Earl Finch and sent him pamphlets of
the League they have offered their assis-
lance in prosecuting the ring managers
who rejected the Misses Black at Osh-
kosh. We request Mr.. Finch to make it
a civil suit instead of bringing it into the
municipal court in order to make it a
race fight. After losing his case in the
Superior Court, on account of prejudice
judge, Mr.. Bryant carried his case to
the Supreme Court which upheld the
civil rights bill and sent the case back to
the Superior Court for it to find judgment
in favor of the plaintiff, but we are sorry
to say it newer reached the court again.
Our attention has been called to a law
enacted by the legislature known as
"Civil Rights BILL" which ID intended to
prevent discrimination in the treatment
of persons on account of their race or
color. The section of the law specifying
the places in which such discrimination
10 likely to take place reads as follows:
That all persons within this state shall
be entitled to the full and equal enjoy
ment OF the accommodations, advantages
facilities and privileges of inns, restur-
ants saloons, barber shope, eating houses
public cow yances on land and water,
thesters, and all other places of public
accommodation or amu,ement, subject
only TO The Conditions and limitations os-
tabl'shed by law and applicable alike to
all p RIO 8 of every race and color.
The violation Of this provision subj cts
the offender to fine if not more than
300 with costs. or an imprisonment for
not more than six months, or. to both
fine and imprisonment. The offender
must further pay the person aqgrieved
sum of not less than $50 as damages.
A similar law was presented to the |
Democra &C legislature in 1891, but was
defeated by strict party vote. The Re
publican legislature is to be congratulated |
on showing II more enlightened spirit in
this mater. We donot think that there
is a disposition in this state to deprive
any cit1z-n Of their equal rights and PRIV
iliages o., account of their "a o dior
1t is well, however, to guard against the
POSSIBILITY and the legislature has acted |
wisely j easing b law adopted to any
such cases that may, occur.
