Presidents Order for Better
Accommodations on a
Southern Railway
Directs Attorney General to
Compel Company to Provide
Proper Facilities

WASHINGTON. April s.-President
Roosevelt today made public his letter
OF April to the attorney general d.
recting proceedings by injunction TO
compel certain railroads Of the south
TO furnish equal accommodations to
white and negro passengers. The
presidents letter, in part, is as follows
| forward herewith the report of the inter
state commerce commission, containing IT'S order
of June 2I, 1907, and the report OF the fsiinre
of the railroad company to obey this order
under date OF March 20. 1908, together with q
letter of the commission OF April l. 1908. IT
appears that the Nashville, Chattanooga and
St. Louis railway company has not conlpnen
with the order of the commission TO furnish
the same facilities to coared passengers paying
trst class fare that arc furnished 10 wnlte
passengers paying first class fare. from time
10 time various complaints have been made 70
me by colored people to the erect that the
accommodations furnished TO coiored persons on
certain railroads are filthy and INADEQUATE COM
pared to the same accommodations furnished to
white passengers paying the same fare: The
commission has taken what is unqnestionapiy
the right ground: that where separate accom-.
modations provided for white ana colored
the accommoda tions for coored passengers shall
be good as those furnished TO white pas
sengers for the same money.
The action Of the commission mas simply
been TO insist that the accommoda tions be equal
in convenience and comfort for the same money
wherever the separation is made In this par
ticular where the railway has neglected
to comply with the order of the commission III
is important that compliance with this ORDER ne
Immediately obtained. l suggest that you pro-

stigma attached to the procedure and
endeavored to give the impression that
he was not acting for Hyde and Ben
son.
Don't go mixing me up with Hyde
and Benson" he exclaimed. MY client
is Miss Virginia L. Roberts of Sacra-
nento, a searcher of records. who was
refused permission to examine these
papers She employed me TO bring suit,
and ! am not acting for Hyde or Ben
son"
The first move made by Fairall was
to apply for writ of mandate COM
pelling Kingsbury to permit Miss Rob-
erts TO examine all public documents,
records and papers relating to sections
16 and Sc, and all lands in lieu thereof,
and state indemnity lands" The COM
plant stated that Miss Roberts had ap-
piled at Sacramento April to examine
these records, and had been refused.
WEBB MAKES ANSWER
An answer by Kingsbury, prepared
by Attorney General Webb, was also
submitted to Judge Seawen- In his
answer the surveyor general stated
that he had refused the permission be-
cause he had all the documents in
question packed in a box preparatory to
their conveyance to Washington in
compliance with the subpoena OF the
supreme court of the District of Colum-
bia In order to reach Washington by
April 10, the day he was subpenaed to
appear, it was necessary for him to
leave this state April 8. and that If he
had shown the papers to Miss Roberts
he said, it would have been impossible
for him to prepare them for conveyance
to Washington
IN arguing the matter before Judge
Seawell Fairall cited section 113 of the
penal code. This section" he said
makes it q felony for any public officer
TO remove papers of which he is custo-
dian from the state"
After listening to the argument
Judge Seawell said he did not believe
the surveyor general had the right to
take state records out of the state but
added that the petition for a writ of
mandate was not the right way to pro-
| ceed. He suggested that Fairall apply
for an Injunction restraining Kingsbury
from leaving California with the pa
pers.
Fairall took the hint and hastily pre-
pared an injunction restraining Kings
bury from removing from California
any records of which he is the custo-
dian. Later Judge Seawen signed the
injunction and Fairall had it served by
telegraph.

Since the abolition of the Park tele-

Of all the lines of the park district into

of poor telephone service received from
the residents and patrons of the COM

company.
w. ]. Phillips, division superintendent

the slowness among the operators. was

THE PLATFORMS.

Three public questions are before
the people for their decision, the tariff,
the currency and the relation of the
low to labor organizations. The re-
publicans and the democrats have
spoken by their national conventions
on each question, Ninety per cent of
the voters will accept their party's
declaration as gospel. The 10 per
cent, the determining factor which
gives p,rtics power, will read and
analyze both with the purpose of
deciding which they approve and will
indorse with their ballots.
The Tribune finds in neither plat
form expression of tariff policy which
is satisfying. The Roosevelt standard
for measuring protection was mummi-
fed with verbiage and robbed Of sin
cerity by the reasonable profit" modi-
fication. The Bryan declaration lacks
the old time virility and assumes a
tolerant attitude toward protection,
1t is no longer robbery of the en-
richment of the few" but something
to be gradually" reduced until rev
enue basis is reached. II is significant,

There can be no leaders if there are
no followers. So, in way, the fol
lowers select the leaders. To the men
who break paths there must be graft.
fication when others fall in behind
And also there must be chagrin for
those who find they have dallied until
they can do nothing but trail. The
pioneer of today is likely to be the
proprietor of tomorrow and this is as
true of politics as it is of farming.
The. eight ninths of the Chicago re-
publican convention which voted
against publicity of campaign contri-
buttons, and those echoing reaction
aries who abused LaFollette for fore
ing the convention to vote on this
plank, must now swallow their words
and fall in behind the oneninth of
the convention that declared against
the secret financing of political cam
paigns. For it has been formally an
nounced, at the instance of Taft him
self, that the republican national com
mittee will make known the amount
and source of campaign donations. 1t
is made plain that this is the reason
for the selection of George r. Sheldon
of New York for treasurer of the ma
tional committe, as the New York law
would require him to make a state
ment of campaign finances whether he
is serving state or national COM
mittee.
This is rebuke to congress, which
failed to pass law for publicity of
political campaigns. 1t is rebuke
to the national convention which also
neglected an opportunity to take this
forward step. 1t is a rebuke to all
who denounced LaFoliette as a
''troublemaker" for attempting to
strengthen the national platform. 1t
is rebuke to all who sneered at South
Dakota delegation for supporting the
LaFollette minority report.
The chronology of this political
drama shows LaFollette to have been
the first to urge endorsement of cam
paign publicity by the representatives
to the republican voters; Crawford to
have been among those who supported
LaFollette; and Taft to have been the
one to supply the omission by the ma
tional convention. These three are the
leaders; the rest will derive from this
notable achievement no more than
the distinction that belongs to faith
full followers. Sioux Falls Press.
