CAN'T KEEP EN- OUT.
Negroes May Attend All Public
Schools in Wichita, Kan.

Topeka, Kan July 6-The su'
prems court decided that she elsy
OF Wichita, by its board oieducation,
In the absence ofststutory authority,
has no right to exclude a child, by
reason OF it's color, from any OF It's
public schools.
The action was brought in the
Wichita district court by Mrs. Ssllie
Rowles on a writ OF msndamus TO
compel the school board OF the city
OF Wichita to admit her daughter
Fannie to the Emerson school. In
1889, Wichita passed an ordinance
providing separate schools for negro
children. The district court refused
the mandamus action OF Mrs Rowles.
She appealed to the supreme court.
The court today reversed the Sedg.
wick court ruling on this ground:
1T is certain that the city OF
Wichita Is not authorized TO main.
tain any grade of it's public schools
for the separate education Of It's
white and negro children, The his
tory OF the legislation on this sub
iect, from 1868 to 1905, amounts to
slmosta legislative declaration that,
In the absence OF an express grant
thereof, no city or school district
has any authority to discriminate
against any child or to deny It sd.
mission TO any public school thereof
on account OF It's color"

Real Life 81 Virginia.

1t has been we'll said that from the
moment Of Governor Yeardley's arrival.
In 1919. with the charter providing for
this legislative assembly, dates the real
life of Virginia. Here prosperity begun
with the day when Virginia received. as
n Commonwealth. the freedom to make
laws for herself. Under this new charter
solemn assemblago OF elected repre-
sentatives Of the people organized them
selves for the government of the colony,
on tho goth day OF July, 1919 about
seventeen months before the Mayflowcr
with her band OF Pilgrims reached
the shores Of New England. This as
sembly set the example which has ever
since been followed. by opening Its do
liberation with a prayer, said by Mr.,
Buck. the minister. that 1t would please
God to guide and sanctlfy all their pro-
ceedings to His own glory and to tho good
OF this plantation. This assembly was
the Judge Of the qualification OF its own
members, and refused to admit some who
claimed special privileges. They also APP
pointed committees ito read and consider
most carefully the great charter or COM
mission of privileges, orders and laws
sent by Sir George Yeardley out OF Eng
lind, In case they should find ought not
perfectly squaring with tho state of this
colony. or any law which would press or
bind too hard that they might. by way
of humble. petition, seek to have It re-
dressed. especially because this great
| charter was to bind them and their heirs
heirs forever"
| We see here the complete germ from
which has been evolved the great prin-
clples OF American liberty, viz: govern
mcnt by an elected assembly who
should be Judge of the qualifications
of Its own members, and a criticnl es-
animation OF all charters and constitu-
tons lest they should press or bind too
hard upon MS and our heirs for-
ever. The mon who thus laid tho foun-
dations OF our Commonwealth ought
| to be held In honored remembrance,
and It is a notable fact thai ono OF tho
members was Mr., John Jefferson, believed
to DO the ancestor Of Thomas Jeffer-
son.There was also in the colony at
lthat time Mr., Madison, who was pro-
