"While, therefore, the reason
ableness of such regulation as to
interstate passenger traffic is es-
tablished, it by no means follows
that carriers may discriminate be-
tween white and colored passen-

they furnish to each. The princi-
pie that must govern is that the
carriers must serve equally well
all passengers, whether white or
colored, paying the same fare.
Failure to do this is discrimina-

undue and unreasonable prejudice

the confines of America experience
ed a severe jolt when it was herald
ed far and wide that a Negro had
carried off with exceptional ability
one of the world-famed Rhodes
scholarships. The young Negro
who thus distinguished himself,
Mr.. Allan Leroy Locke, was in
the full swing of his senior Hazard
year when he met the tests, de.
feated all comers and was awarded
the palm of victory. Not content
with this he entered the lists again
and won out from large field at
the close of the year, much covet-
ed honor carrying with it a purse
of $3.50.
Now comes Mr.. Eugene J..
Marshall, a student of the
DIVERSITY of Wisconsin. Mr..
Marshal was born at Detroit and
has perhaps won more oratorical
honors than any man identified
with American college life. He
represented the Detroit Central
High School in oratory and secur-
ed second place in the state cham
pionship contest for Michigan.
He represented the same school
against Orchard Lake Academy
and was class orator in the Law

represented the same University
in the Northern Oratorical League
contest at Minneapolis in 1903. The
League is composed of the Uni
versities of Michigan, Chicago,
Northwestern. Minneapolis, Iowa,
Wisconsin and Oberlin.
Mr.. Marshall won second prize
in this League and in addition the
Chicago Alumnae medal for excel
lency in oratory and the Frank B.

five dollars. The crowning prize
among the many honors which
have come to him is life member.

When it is known that Mr.
Marshall has won his way to SC

incentive and inspiration to every

TO Be TREATED ALIKE.
JOHN III. PAINTER.

Washington, July S.-The Inter-
state Commerce Commission in a
decision today in the case of
Georgia Edwards against the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railroad held that where rail-
road provided certain accomoda-
tions first class for the white pass
engers, it is commanded by law
that like Accommodations shall be
provided for Negroes who have
purchased first class tickets. 1t
holds that in this case it is mani
fest the railroad "has unduly and
unjustly Disseminated in some
particulars against colored passen-
gers" and orders that where the
railroads provide wash bowl and
towels in the coaches for white
passengers and a separate smoking
compartment, similar accomoda-
tions shall be provided for Negro
passengers paying similar fare.
The complainant, who had pur-
chased a first class ticket from
Chattanooga, Tenn. to Dalton, Ga
was removed from a car for whites
to one for Negroes, and com.
planned that she was Disseminated
against because of her color and
was not afforded equal facilities.
Commissioner Lane, who rendered
the decision of the Commission
held: "The expense of the small
smoking compartment in the latter
(the cars for whites) accounts for
nearly all the difference in cost
between the two cars" He holds
that the broad question of the
right under the thirteenth and
fourteenth amendments of the con-
stitution to segregate white and
colored passengers has been up
held by the Supreme Court Of the
Uuited States. The opinion con-
tinues:
Accepting these decisions as
conclusive upon the constitutional.
ity of such laws, we turn to the

posed by the carrier; and this we
find to have been passed upon by
this commission within few
months of its organization in the
case of Council versus Western
and Atlantic Railroad, which was
decided December 3, 1887, anc
which held this separation may be
carried out on railroad trains with
out disadvantage to either race
and with increased comfort tc
both.

President of the Council made a
stirring address at the night ses-
sion on the 26. In the course of
his remarks he referred to Senator
j. B. Foraker as the ''Noblest Ro-
man of them ALL and invoked in
his behalf the unfinching support
of the race at all times and in
whatever way he may ask it.
DR.. S. L. Corrothers of Wash
ington made the principal address
at the morning session and paid
his respects in burning language
to the President and Secretary
Taft. Concerning Mr.. Booker T.
Washington he felf that he was
being used as the political agent
of the President and through such
means much injustice was being
done the Negro.
Rev. A. II. Gaines, in whose
church the sessions were held
welcomed the delegates in these
words "Ten millions of American
citizens, of whatever race they
may be, must be reckoned with,
because of the genius of the Amer
ican experiment of government.
1t is the opinion of the local com.
mittee and we believe it to be the
opinion of the National Council,
that ten millions of American cit
liens are denied by American pre-
judice, complete enjoyment of
their natural rights.
We submit also that American
prejudice has grown to the extent
that for ten million Negro Ameri-
cans, the constitutional guarantee
of the jury trial, evidence and pun
ishment, mean absolutely nothing"
The second days sessions of the
Council were enlivened by further
attacks upon the administration
the vigorous denunciation of Till
man, Vardaman and Tom Dixon
and an animated discussion be-
tween Prof Kelly Miller and Dr.
S. l.. Corrothers concerning the
expediency of noisy agitation.
Rev. Corrothers was of the opinion
that the time was past for keeping
quiet and that even the black man
who stood in the way of the race
obtaining fair consideration,
should be struck out of the way.
Prof. Miller was in favor of more
effective and general organization
and less "frothy talk" at the pres
ent time. Negro organizations up
to the present had accomplished
practically nothing in his opinion.
The Professor has put it very
accurately when he speaks of
''frothy talk" for the real benefits
accruing from ten years Of local
and national organization under
the Council, presents nothing
more substantial than the phos-
phorescent foam occasioned by the
frantic efforts of a noisy little
side wheel steamer.

1t will be interesting news to
many that the funeral expenses of
President Garfield have never been
paid.
The recent death of Mr.. w. r.
Speare, the veteran undertaken of
Washington has brought this fact
to light
1t seems that soon after the
death of Mr.. Garfield, Congress
passed a bill appropriating a sum
of money with which to defray all
expenses. The bill carried pro-
vision, however, that the Secretary
of the Treasury should appoint a
commission whose duty it should
be to investigate all charges and
require all those presenting claims
to file receipted bills for the full
amount of their claim and agree
ing to accept whatever amount
should be awarded by the commits
sion.
This idea did not appeal to the
late Mr.. Speare as good business
proposition SO he refused to COM
ply and the bill still remains un-
paid.
Congressional relief is probably
the only recourse left to the estate
of the deceased for the collection
Of the debt, which is doubtless
quite neat little sum.

secured by fraud. The swindlers would
get the Indians drunk, lock them in a
pen and make them sign papers. Then
they would keep them locked up until
they had the fraudulent deeds recorded.
