Northern paper commenting on the
decision delivered last week in the
case OF BereG college versus the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. While

inquirer remarks Is another blow
TO tlfe Recoustruction legislation and

were intended to give the negro abb

white, but which have largely fail

cording to the New York Evening
Post the ruling might almost he
described as a latter-day bred Scott
decision
The main facts OF tho case are
briefly as follows: Berea college was
established in Kentucky before the
war for "the education of all per-
sons Of good moral character" Az.
ter the war colored students applied
and were admitted, and the benefits
OF the institution remained open to
both races until 1904, when the
Kentucky legislature passed a law
forbiddlng the education of blacks
and whites within twenty-five miles
OF one another by the same nstitu-
tion--that Is to say, colored branch
might be established not less than
twenty-five miles from the buildings
attended by white students. The
main object of this legislation was
Berea college which immediately
brought suit in the Kentucky courts
to prevent its enforcement Los
ing the case In the Kentucky courts
the college carried It up to the SUI
preme court, which now decides
with two dissenting voces---that the
Kentucky statute is constitutional.
The majority decision, as rendered
by Justice Brewer, construes the
challenged law as in effect an
amendment to the charter Of Berea
college. II reads in part:
we need concern ourselves only
with the inquiry whether the first
section Of the Kentucky law can be
upheld as coming within the power
OF q state over its own corporate
creatures. We are Of opinion that
II does come within that power"
One Of the dissenting voices was
that OF Justice Harlan, himself a

pressed minority opinion he dwells

which might follow from this decis-
ion and maintains that the leglsla-
ton In question is inconsistent with
the great principle OF the equality of
citizens before the law. To quote
Have we become so lnoculated
with prejudice OF race that an Am
erican government, professedly bas-
ed on the principles Of freedom and
charged with the protection OF all
citizens alike, can make distinctions
between such citizens in the matter
of their association for innocent pur-
poses simply because Of their re-
spectiye races? Further, If the low
or court be right, then state may,
make 1t a crime for white and col
ored persons to frequent the same
market places at the same time. or
appear In an assemblage OF citizens
convened to consider questions Of a
public or political nature in which
all citizens, without regard TO race
are equally interested, Many other
Illustrations might be given to show
the mischievous, not to say cruel,
character OF the statute in question,
and how inconsistent such Iegisla-
ton Is with the great principle OF
the equality of citizens before the
law"
These are noble words and they
go to the root of the matter" com
ments the New York Evening Post,
which goes on to say:
III citizen can be Disseminated
against because OF color, why not
because OF faith? Some of our Nor
thern universities are receiving so
many Catholics, Jews and foreign
born students, as to become extreme

see why not. 1t would not be more
contrary to the spirit OF our insti-
tutions than the Berea decision and
would be no more serious a blow to
our whole democratic experiment Its
enemies are today rejoicing"
Turning to the decision as hand
ed down by Justice Brewer. the same
paper goes on to say
The supreme court has for years
successfully evaded any direct iudg-
ment upon the various dlscrimina-
tons against the negro in the South
ern states. 1t has calmly permitted
violations Of the guaranteed rights
OF the freedman to 60 on unchecked
For tho thousandth time
therefore, We have an illustration OF
the narrow, technical way in which
courts decide grave questions Here
the judge is so anxious lest the right
OF state to control one OF It's cor
porate creatures be impaired, that
nothing else is visible in the law"

The representatives OF trunk lines
will reassemble again, probably early
in December Meanwhile various

In these conferences the matter Of
an increase in commodity rates has
not been taken up at all, as accord
ing to railroad men, there Is no in
tention Of making any change in the
commodity schedules
None OF those at the conference
would state just the extent OF The
advance which would be made in
class rates. Chairman Mccain, Of
the Trunk Line association, said that
1t would be hard to fix any specific
percentage as an average, as each
class Of goods was being considered
separately with relation both to the
railroads and the shippers.
