He Owed a Negro

That associate press dispatch
asst week that told of con-
stable. an attorney and lot OF
workmen, who went to the home
of a Federal judge and disman-
tied it under a judgment eXecu-
ton regularly issued out of the
courts of that state, did not seem
to think that the law had in any
wav been violated, but ssthe out
rage of the matter was, Negro
held the judgment, and it9was
to satisfy his judgment that the
house was disrobed of all of its
belongings. Why should there
be any more Indignation among
abe members of thel bar for the
Judgment held by a Negro being
satisfied than if the Judge
ment had have been held
by the governor of the state
or some banker? The whole at
fair seemed to US the most ludic-
rous piece of information that
the associated press has ever
sent over it's wires. So ludicrous
was it that, the Seattle Daily
Times, as big a fool as it is, edi-
itorially had the following to say
on the subject:
"A federal judge in Atlanta is
very much exercised over the
fact that a Negro who held an
unsatisfed judgment against him
dismantled his home of its furni-
ture. 1t would seem that the
Judge should have looked after
the matter in the proper way
and the fact that the man to
whom the judgment was given
was a Negro has no bearing
upon the subject. Of course we
must allow something for the
fact that the occurrence had its
scene in Georgia, but from the
facts at hand, we cannot see how
the fault does not rest with the
Judge rather than with the
Negro"
It's Just such contemplate ar
ticles as this dispatch that keeps
a continued strife going on be-
tween the white and black folk
of this country. Federal Judge
though he was he should have
no more legal rights than any
one else, and the law should have
compelled him to satisfy a Ne
gro's just claim against him the
same as it would have that Of
the most influential banker in
the country.

INTERESTING POINT
Cemetery Case, to Be Argued
-, Tomorrow, Involves
Law Puzzles.
CONDEMNATION OPPOSED

An interesting point OF law will be
argued before Judge Fox in the
Wayne circuit court tomorrow. The
case of the Earlham Cemetery asso-
citation against Margaret Smith ct al
will be up for hearing on a prelimin-
airy point. 1t is maintained by the
defense that the Cemetery association
has no power nor authority to con-
denim the property of the defense.
The property is the farm on which the
Country club Is located. The Gene
terry association seeks to have ap.
praisers named and the property con-
demned, SO that It can be acquired by
purchase. It is undertaking to pro-
coed under the section Of law that
,gives railroad companies and other
public service corporations the right
to condemn property.
The defense insists the cemetery is
not considered in class with rail-
roads. It will seek to maintain the
cemetery Is a private institution and
exists for private gain. The defense
claims also that the Smith farm is
not necessary to; the cemetery as 1t
can extend its grounds so as to pro-
vide for long time to come by pur-
chasing ground located south instead
of west OF the cemetery.

The plaintiff is represented by John

It required long time to obtain 4

hand n there were any farmers in the
venire who wanted off for this case. SO
they might look after their crops he
would excuse them. Several farmers
took advantage Of this offer and were
excused. Their places had to be taken
by men from the city. The court says
1t would be hardship to impose on
the farmers. especially when men can
be found about the city whose business
does not require their constant at
tention.

HISTORY OF SHOES.

In No Article 81 Attire Have Mere
vagaP1es Been ShOW0.
Shoes or their equivalent are Of q
certainty even more ancient than
gloves, for they we're necessity Of To-
comotion. while the other was but q
luxury. Sometimes they were made OF
skins. sometimes OF papyrus. a. in
Egypt. Often they were gilded and
decked with jewels, and the most ex-
pert artists Of the day were employed
to decorate the foot coverings OF
wealthy patricians, consuls, emperors
and their fayorites. In no article Of at
tire have more vagaries been shown.
Today a lady who desires to be consid-
cred in the height Of fashion wears
shoes pointed az much as possible, but
in the time OF Queen Mary the taste
was all the other way, and II was
found necessary to issue royal procla-
nation prohibiting shoes with toes
wider than six inches. But perhaps the
most extraordinary development In the
way Of footgear were the ''chopines" in
troduced by the ladies' Of Venice to
make themselves taller than they really
were. The articles were really q kind
Of stills made Of wood and leather and
sometimes reached the absurd height
Of twelve inches. Even . trained aero
bat would have difficulty In walking on
such things. and ordinary women had
such trouble with them that when they
attempted a promenade they required
the assistance Of q servant at each side
and another behind to keep them from

FOR NEW BUILDING Is ON

Members OF the West Side Friends
congregation, which congregation Is.
confronted with the problem OF erect

plan OF Rev. Allan Jay. who believes
that q building sufficiently large to
accommodate the Indiana Yearly
Meeting attendance should be erected
on Earlham college campus For the
present the congregation will hold It's
meeting at the chapel IN Lndley hall
but as soon as school takes up in the
fall ether arrangements will have to

ing house is entirely too small for the
large number who annuity congre-
gate to attend Yearly Meeting. 1t is
the largest meeting house in the
city and has for years been the meet
Ing place Of Indiana Friends.
A Logical Plan,
Rev. Jay believes that il the Yearly
Meetings are held here In the future an
addition will have to be placed on the
church or else a new, one constructed.
He believes that his plan is the best
and most logical.
Nothing in regard to the building
plans have been definitely decided up
on. This will be taken up in the near
future, as the leading members Of the
church we're unable to consider the
matter just at the present time. owing
to the preparations for the semi-cetl-
tennial celebration Of Earlham college.
