er T. Washington. Affair.

LONDON. Oct. 26-The Spectator
this morning prints an editorial re-
garding the criticisms following the
dinner rendered Booker T, Washing
ton by President Roosevelt. The pa.
per expresses a wish that President
Roosevelt had not invited Washington
to dine with him, as 1t believes that
recognition of non-existent equal
ity of the races is not the best way to
XIII the white prejudice against the
blacks. 1t further says that the
whites and blacks should be two sep
arate and distinct classes, the same
as the Hindu and Mussulman in In
dia, with no intercourse except on
business. The ballot should be tenn
porarily withdrawn from the negro
although every Office except that of
president should be open to him. The
whites should be entitled TO the right
by trial before "A white Judge Under
these conditions the races would do
yelop peacably until the color lines
were felt to be inconvenient when
they would vanish.

in the supreme court today affirm
ing judgment for 500 secured by An
ma Lee, licensed rider, against the
City of Port Huron, for injuries in a
fall caused by the defective condi-
tion OF the sidewalk The opinion
which was written by Judge Grant,
says:
while the bicycle Is vehicle, 1t
is not one to be classed in all its
drawn by animals or propelled by me
chanical power. To ride a bicycle
upon sidewalk may not be a nui.
sance where to drive a horse and
wagon upon. it would be. A baby
carriage Is vehicle. but 1t Is not a
nuisance either upon the sidewalk OF
upon the street"
The court does not hold that the
municipality must keep the sidewalks
In good condition for bicycling. but
in reasonable repair for all ordinary
use.
BY It's decision the court recognizes
that the bicycle has become indis
pensible to many laborlng men ant
citizens, and that its use at all times
is rendered impracticable unless i
may be ridden on the sidewalks uD
