JIM GROW CARS LEGAL.

When Oklahoma wished to be ad-
mitted to Statehood. Mr.. Roosevelt
sent Mr.. Taft out to the territory to
tell the peope what they must not do
to become State. Among other
things Mr. Taft told the Legislature
it could not pass a law requiring sep
arate passenger cars for the races if
it wished to be an American State.
And that threat caused Oklahoma to
bury its Jim Crow car bill. Now the
Supreme Court Of the United States
has overruled Mr.. Taft's Oklahoma
illumination and upheld the Jim Crow
law in his own administration. The
Southern States are careful to direct
the railroads to afford equal accom-
mediation for the races. Writing of the
recent decision to the effect that sep
arate accommodations are permisi-
BILE if they are equally good, the New
York Times says:
The case of Chiles VS. the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company
decided by the Federal Supreme
Court, eSta abliShes the principle enun-
ciated in 1885 in the circuit court of
Tennessee that for members of diff
ferent races separate accommodations
may be provided in public convey
ances, if the accommodations be
equally good. The colored passenger
Chiles travelled from the city of Wash
ington on a through ticket between
States to Lexington, KY: The law of
Kentucky required that he be placed
in a Jim Crow car after passing
within the States confines and this
also, was in accordance with the rail
road company's rules. On April Is
1907, the decision of the circuit court
In this case, now confirmed, declared
that a railroad company may, inde-
pendently of a State law, adopt and
enforce rules requiring colored per
sons, although they are Interstate
passengers, to occupy separate coach
eS.
This opinion practically reverses
1875 in the case of Hall VS. Decur
wherein Jim Crow act of Louisiana
was declared unconstitutional on the
ground that It presumed to regulate
the conduct of carriers engaged in in
terState commerce. The present deci-
sion reveals the influence Of the
change in public opinion since the re
construction era; it justifies both the
law and compliance with it by the
carrier, and permits the rest of the
Southern States to amend the Jim
Crow laws after the example of Ken
lucky.

thing We don't exactly commend in
the above remarks. Davidson is
classed as one of the Smaller col

ONE HOLMES WORTH A DOZEN
RALLINGERS.

Congress has established Bureau
Of Mines and the men who kno"
best about able experts in America
suggested Joseph A. Holmes, LII. D.,
former State Biologists of North Caro-
lima, for the important position as
head of the bureau. But it seems that
Mr. Holmes, who is the best qualified
man in America for the place, is not
approved by Ballinger. There is no
North Carolina knows. Commenting
upon Ballingers opposition to Holmes
the Baltimore Sun editorial1y says:
But the Ballinger snake-killing
campaign by no means ends with
those he regards as his active enc
mics 1t extends to officials who re-
fused to aid in his defense. Prof.
Joseph A. Holmes is regarded as the
ablest expert in certain features OF
mining and mine-rescue work in this
country Congress created a Bureau
Of Mines in order to extend the nota-
Bile work in which Professor Holmes
has been engaged for several years,
and no other man was thought of for
the first chief of this bureau. Holmes
takes no interest whatever in politics.
He refused to take sides or to be mixed
up in any way with the Ballinger af
fair. He spent his time in attending
strictly to business. Holmes was the
co-worker Of Secretary Garfield and
Clifford Pinchot in the previous ad
mintstration. But he failed to rush
to the rescue of Balflnger, and the
Secretary of the Interior is doing
every thing in his power to humi1iate
DR.. Holmes and appoint another man
chief of the Bureau of Mines. Mr..
Pa i1 ia
of the American people. His attitude
on the witness stand and his course
since that time show clearly what
manner of man he is
Though DR.. Holmes married in
North Carolina and has lived in this
State most Of the time since he left
college, where he paid his own way
by work. II lie is a native of South Caro-
ments upon the Ballnger view:
Joe Holmes is known to hun
dreds of people in South Carolina and
every man who knows him believes
in him. For years he was a member
of the faculty of the University Of
North Carolina and State Geologist OF
North Carolina. There is no more
high minded gentleman and he is a
modest, unassuming student of great
common sense, unselfish and wholly
devoted to his scientific pursuits. Long
before the coming of the autom ob1e,
which gave new impetus to high
way Improvement, Prof Holmes was
writing and lecturing in both the Car
olinas to stir interest in that subject
he was one of the first in the South
to urge good road making and to tell
the people how to make good roads, |
Even presuming that Secretary
Balllnger is an honest man, Mr..
II dimes is worth dozen of his ill<
to the public service. No one has
ever suggested that any conflicting or
outside interest has diluted Mr.. |
II Holmes' zeal for the work in which
he is engaged and no one who knows
him can believe that he could be sub
ject to any partisan or unworthy In
fiuence. The simple fact that Secre- |
tary OF the Interior is unfriendly to the
prom OtiOn of a scientist of MI |
Holmes tenn perament and attainments
is enough to place the motives of that
secretary under suspicion !
