SUPREME COURT WILL DECIDE.
Higher Tribunal VIII Say How Far
Negro May Demand Social
Equality.

DES MONIES, Iowa, June 10.-An
interesting opinion expected from the
supreme court at this sitting, which
may be handed down any day. will
determine with what latitude the
"civil rights statute is to be inter
preted in Iowa.
1t will be the opinion in the case
brought by Mrs. s. Joe Brown (negro).
of Des Moines against coffee house
which was exhibiting its products at
the Des Moines pure food show. At
that show the coffee company was
serving coffee free OF charge to people
who came to the company's booth.
Mrs. Brown appeared and applied for
cup of coffee. She was refused
service presumably because she was
a negress. She sought damages
against the company in district court
She lost her suit there and appealed
to the supreme court.
Admission Fee Charged.
Her contention is that as an adj
mission fee was charged to the pure
food show the free souvenirs and
service there was one of the induce
ments to enter and as she had paid
the admission fee she was entitled
to all these free souvenirs. The cof-
fee company contends that 1t was not
selling It's coffee, but was giving it
away to those whom 1t desired to
serve. Inasmnch as 1t was gift the
company maintains 1t had a right to
refuse to serve anyone for racial or
any other reason The case was holly
argued before the supreme court.

being listed at $4,000. 900. There are
four clubs which are assessed at a
sum aggregating $6,O0O.OOO. The I'm
ion League Club heads the list with
a valuation of one and three quarters
OF a million dollars. There are a
score of hotels assessed at more than
81 600 900 each. The Ansonia is as
sessed at s3.625,OOO and the Alpine
apartment house at $S.25O.O0O Eth
er of these hotels could be sold for
more than enought to buy the Ninth
district Of Maury county. provided 1t
could be purchased at its assessed
value.
The one piece of property in the
city assessed at the greatest sum is
the Waldorf Astoria hotel, which is
returned for taxation at $12,150,000.
This, however, includes the furnish
ings, the most costly Of any hotel per-
haps in this county. This is a sum
equal to all the revenues Of Tennes-
see for four years. 1t is almost
enough to pay the entire debt of the
State.

IF you SEE IT IN OUR AID ITS so.

And after all Gov Patterson was moi
astuated in his efforts at Union City
to bring to justice the perpetrators OF
the night riders outrages by regard
for his oath of office. He was merely
making spectacular play and employ
ing the army of the State in order to
acquire an absolute title to the con-
science of Hillsman Taylor. a. nominee
for the House. At least it thus ap-
pears from the organs of the Governor
at Nashville and Memphis. And the
the Governors well-known characters
tics are such as to give color to these
charges. Being wholly selfish, seldom
if ever actuated by worthy impulse,
a designing demagogue and a schem-
ing politician, one could hardly mag
inc that he took his life in his hands"

and guarded by a couple

About the widest canard so far pub.
lished is the story in the Memphis
News Scimitar that the present Legis'
lature will proceed to elect success
sod to Senator Frazier whose term
EXPIRES on March 4, 1911. There is of
course not one word of truth in this
story and the reporter showed his ig.
norance when he stated that Fraziers
term would expire in 1912. No Sen.
ator's term ever expires in an even
numbered year, a fact that the aver
age school child knows. Many OF tne
State.widers are or will doubtless be
supporters OF Frazier when his term
does expire and they are not engaged
in the work OF parcelling out Offices
that is the special work of the batter
son machine.

THE NIGHT RIDER SENTENCE.

Judge Jones was eminently correct
! in ignoring the jury's finding of miti-
eating circumstances In the night
rider cases. If the six defendants
found guilty perpetrated the murder
of Capt. Rankin there are no miti-
eating circumstances This is anoth-
er evidence of the cowardfy manner
in which juries shirk their duties and
responsibilities. The murder of Ran
kin was as cold-blooded, deliberate and
henious a crime as ever darkened the
criminal annals of Tennessee and If
the six men sentenced were guilty
there can be no circumstance that will
mitigate the offense. If they do not
deserve death no murderers should be
executed Fortunately Tennessee had
a Judge with the courage and the de-
termination to correct the mistake
made by the jury, or more correctly
with the backbone to supply the moral
lacking in the members of the
jury. 1t would be interesting to have
the members of this jury point out the
specific circumstances in the proof |
hat "mitigated" this crime.

THE FULTON CASE AGAIN.

Every new development in the Full
ton pardon case proves how utterly
unworthy is Gov. Patterson to dis.
charge the duties of his high office.
The remarkable features of this case
have been heretofore discussed in
these columns. 1t will be recalled
that Fulton was pardoned because he
was of nervous temperament
when he killed Sam Epps Young Park
er, noted athlete. 1t was further
stated by the Governor that Fulton
killed Parker in a fit of temporary in
sanity or rage because the latter had
slandered his wife.
Recent developments have proven
how utterly untrue are these state
ments. 1t is evident that Mrs. Fulton
did not appreciate her husbands latest
manifestation of affection. Before
the murder the proof shows that she
had been abused threatened with bod
lily harm, neglected and separated
from. Now she has filed bill for
absolute divorce. 1t is perfectly APP
parent that she would have much pre-
ferred her husbands love and care
and support as an evidence of his af-
lection and consideration than to have
had him STAY one whom he suspected ,
of slandering her.
Even If it were true that Parker
had slandered Mrs. Fulton, and there
is little evidence to this effect outside
the testimony of the convicted hus-
band, the record and this bill for d.
vorce shows that Fulton had by his
neglect his abuse and his threats
forfeited all right to pose as the pro-
tector of his wife. II men of Fultons
character would treat their wives with
that consideration, affection and cour-
tesy which the marriage estate de- ,
mands, there would be fewer murders
with the socalled "unwritten law de- {
fense." =

FUNDING THE DEBT.

That the County Court acted wisely
in deciding to fund the debt Of MaurI
county will hardly be denied by ma
FORTY Of the business men who have
given the subject careful thought. Il
is true that some of the members Of
the court and others who have mani
tested a lively interest in the subject
thought another plan for meeting the
county's obligations more satisfactory
but the method which they proposed
would have worked a real hardship
upon the tax payers of this generation
and especially the small tax payers.
BY the plan adopted ON Monday the
county will make an annual interest
savings of about $4,000. This sum
should be, by express order of the
court held for the sacred and ex-
elusive purpose of meeting the prin.
cipal of the debt when it shall mature.
In other words every year the saved
interest should be religiously applied to
the sinking fund. 1t will not do for the
court to issue the bonds and then
stop. A sinking fund should be pro-
vided for and in addition to the
amount derived from the levy for that
purpose all saved interest should be
added to it. In this manner the funds
necessary to meet the bonds at ma
turity can be secured with but small
additional levy and without any hard
ship to any of the taxpayers of the
county.
A debt Of $175,00O looks like a very
large liability to the average person.
But it is a small sum compared with
the magnificent resources of this most
resourceful of all counties. 1t repre-
sents the total debt of the county
which has a taxable wealth Of more
than $12,OO0,000 and actual wealth of
nearly twice that sum. There is not
an individual or a corporation of like
resources that would feel moments
worry with debt ten times as great I

proof was overwhelming, the law left

Hillsman Taylor's reply to the crit

convictions merely because the GOV

NEW Works. WEALTH.

Some interesting facts are CLEANED
from the report of the property as
sessment of New York city for the
year 1909. The aggregate value Of
real estate assessed for taxation is
sc, 407 100000, which is more than the
total taxable wealth of twenty-five
States of the Union. Property values
In the great metropolis of the West
have increased at a rate unparalleled
In the history of the world Nine
years ago the real estate of the city
was assessed for taxation at frac-
ton less than $3,OOO,O0O,OO0. This
shows a growth in nine years of more
than 100 per cent or at the rate of
more than IL per cent a year.
Nothing like it has ever been known
in great city in the history of the
world.
The assessment of the real estate
of New York city is but one billion of
dollars less than the total assessed
value of all the property of the United
States West of the Mississippi river
from the Canadian line to the line of
Mexico. The total assessable wealth
of this territory is $500, 900, 1000. The
aggregate taxable wealth of New
York city, real and personal is more
than $1,000 100000 or within 100000 |
of that of the Western half of the |
United States.
The largest individual taxpayer in
the city is Andrew Carnegie, who pays
on an assessment on his home of 81
100000 and on real estate and per-
sonalty aggregating $75Oe,0OO Thus
one residence is assessed at a sum
equal to the entire assessment OF the
city Of Columbia. The costliest resi-
dence in New York, judged from the
tax returns, is that OF former Senator
A. Clark, OF Montana, which
Is listed at more than $4,000, 900.
There are half dozen other resi-.
1ences that are assessed at more than
Il, 100000 each.
The most valuable rIece of real estate
n the city is the building OF the Equit. |
lble Life Assurance Society, which is {
assessed for taxes at $11.7OO,Oeo. This |
sum exceeds the aggregate real and ,
PERSONAL assessment OF Maury county I
