jim CROW Law
Federal Court Confirms Decision of
Lower Court

The following exposition Of the late
decision of the supreme court of the
United States is so clear that we pub
lish it here that it may be read along
the line of the railway against which
the action was brought:
The case of Chiles VS.. The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company,
decided by the Federal Supreme
court, establishes the principle enun-
ciated IN 1855 in the circuit court OF
Tennessee that for members of differ
ent races separate accommodations
may b. provided in public convey
ances, if the accommodations be equal
ly good. The colored passenger Chiles
travelled from the city of Washington
on through ticket between states
to Lexington, KY. The law of Ken
lucky required that he be placed in
a "Jim Grow" car after passing with.
in the states confines, and this,
also, was in accordance with the
railroad company's rules. On April
16, 1907, the decision of the circuit
court in this case, now confirmed,
declared that a railroad company
may, independently of state law,
adopt and enforce rdles requiring col
ored persons, although they are inter
state passengers, to occupy separate
coaches
This opinion practically reverses
the decision of the supreme court in
1875 in the case of Hall VS.. Decuir,
wherein a "Jim Crow act of Louis
lana was declared unconstitutional on
the ground that it presumed to regu-
late the conduct of carriers engaged
in interstate commerce. The present
decision 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 car.

Soutern States to amend their "Jlm
Crown laws after the example of Ken
lucky.

during the first years following the
civil war in their efforts to separate

naces, have gradually passed laws tt
this effect in every state save Mis-
souri,, and the courts have sustined
them. Oklahoma was restrained from
Incorporating the principle in its
constitution by the threat of Presi

has it's "Jim Grow" statute. On the

are careful to require that the accom-

POOR JOKE
Rumor OF New National Party So

Washington, d. c., June l3.-Judg,
E. A. Jaggard's intimation, as toast

welt, Pinchot, and Garfield as the lead
ers, brought out this response from
Senator Borah, of Idaho, yesterday:
Roosevelt, Pinchot, and Garfield
would form the personnel of the pro-
posed, or suggested, national or third
party. There is no occasion for the
formation of an organization, and no
possibility of it's naturalization. The
proposition is a poorly constructed
joke, due, believe, to the enthusiasm
and exuberance of good dinner, the
flowing bowl, and the wine when it is
red.

THAT HARRISON smus.

Much discussion is going the rounds
as 10 whether Mr.. Taft did not exceed
all decent bounds in refusing to see
Mr.. Francis Burton Harrison when he
called on business at the White House
a few days ago.
Is criticism of official acts to be
bar to conference with officials on bus
mess matters? This is serious ques-
ton. If 1t be so with the President
where will the line be drawn, and can
not every officer of the government do
the same thing? Mr.. Taft has called
by this act, attention to very doubt
full handling of official papers, that is,
of his ''antedating" paper in the no.
torious Ballinger case, and many now
have heard OF his action in regard to
that paper who never knew it was
antedated and signed at any time. The
signing of it and antedating it have
been of doubtful propriety, and have
always been looked upon as unworthy
a president and a cabinet officer, so
that Mr.. Taft now shows he feels the
prick of the accusation, and it has
made him no friends. This late incl
dent has tended to bring it out.

upon newspaper statment appearing

Fruit Experiment Station would be
located in the valley of Virginia, at

THE DOGS ARE GOING.

Any one who has ever visited Con-
stantinople was struck with the num-
Der and variety of dogs in that capital.
Nobody claims them, they act as pub
lie scavengers, they are not molested
by anybody, and they lounge in the
sun and go about booths and into
houses at will. They yelped at pleas
ure, and their pleasure seemed to be to
.yelp. Now it has been ldecreed that
dogs must go, and they are being kill
ed, carted off, and their skins may be
tanned. Yet we are inclined to the be-
lief that they will hardly be preserved
even as to that modicum of their for
mer being. Constantinople is catching
on.

THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUS.
NESS OF WOMEN.

The address of DR.. Stone to the young
ladies of the Graduating Glass on We'd
nesday night has been the subject OF
much favorable comment. 1t was a
most timely tcpic, and the matter is
being discussed in all leading news
papers and magazines. The Baltimore
Evening Sun under the head of 'The
Collective Consciousness of Women
has the following to say:
"The London Times has not yet
donned the suffragette yoke, but it has
so far toned down its thunderS rs to
begin the issue of 'woman's supple
ment, in which, dropping matters of
world politics and high policy, it dis
courses upon the interests and actlvi-
ties of women The Times notes the
widening aims and achievements in
many fields by which the women OF
today are making the present age re-
mark able' There is undoubtedly in
our day an oulburst of the collective
consciousness of women. Their power
has always been great-greateI than
the suffragetle is commonly willing to
admit-but till recently it has been
exercised chiefly in secret. AT presen4
her voice is heard more openly and in
many tones, from the hysteric shrek
to the mild suasion, announcing aims,
expounding desires and claiming at
| tentiun 10 her ideas. She is already
occupy ing many fields of effort--in
medicine, science, art, Literature, sports
| and games, as well as charity, benefi-
cence and religious work and social
service. She may be said, indeed, to
have occupied the field before she put
in her claim to title. In society she is
supreme, and in the home she is still
| the arbiter. 1t is a proof of the fertili-
ty of her studies that she now mani
| tests interest in municipal and national
politics. With few exceptions, pro-
gresSive woman eschewS nnannishneSS,
seeing the greater charm and power of
womanliness. Mans attire does not
attract her, but well-made gown and
becoming hat make still the strongest
appeal. The significance of her new
attitude, from the journalistic point Of
view, is that it demands wider make
up of items. For long time publish
ers have recognized that papers and
magazines can no longer be got up ex-
cIusively for mans reading. They
must be comprehensive. They must
recognize that the social unit is not
man nor woman, but man and woman
| together"

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Opinion Expressed by President
Daniel Willard

Deer Park, Nd, June 49, That the
trend of congressional legislation is
toward government ownership of rail
roads was the opinion expressed to
day by President Daniel Willard, of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at
a conference here Of the company's
officials. Mr.. Willard said that he
did not believe that such result
would be to the best interests of the
country, for, on the basis of rates and
service, governmental ownership, or
even exacting regulation, had not been
proved to be such abroau. Freight
rates, he declared, were far lower here
than in any other county, and had been
going downward in face of the reverse
as to operating expenses.
Mr.. Willard announced that the po-
Icy of his administration was to be a
recognition Of the changed conditions
regarding supervision Fof railroads
and a strict adherence to the statutes
so long as their validity was undis-
turbed by judicial declaration of un-
constitutionality.

STUDENT ASSAULTED
BY GREEK WAITER

Charlottesville. Va, June l2-In
the Charlottesville Restaurant, which
is run by & eeks, q difficulty took
place at 10 O'Clock tonight which for
time promised serious consequences.
A student from the University gave
an order which he changed little
later and out of which grew a misun-
derstanding This led first to words
and then to blows The student hurled
mustard bottle at the waiter, said to
be one of the proprietors, which miss
ing its object, smashed the mirror back
of the counter. The Greek picked up
a sugar bowl and with true aim,
smashed the college man on the head,
knocking him to the floor. Other en-
ployees of the restaurant then assault
ed the customer, jumping upon his
PROSTATE fo1m, it is alleged, and
stamping his face with their feet.
Tie student was rushed to a local
physicians office and later removed
to the University hospital. While he
is badly cut up and bruised it is not
believed that the injuries will prove
serious.
In short time large crowd had
assembled many students having come
down from the University post haste.
The restaurant was closed by the po-
lice and Tom Demas, one of the pro-
prietors, who said that he was respon-
sible for the assault, was placed under
arrest. As soon as the door of the
restaurant was closed rocks were hurl-

The other four or five Greeks, who
had gone to an upper story of the
build ing to hide themselves from the
crowd, were secretly got out Of the
rear Of the building and taken first tt
the police station and then to the
county Jail for safety.
The crowd, in a rather ugly mood
surged in front Of the restaurant fol
some time. Mayor Haden, Common
wealth's Attorney Walker and Police
Justice Shackelford appeared on tin
scene and took steps to quiet the gath

DEGENERATE RUSSIA.

The Philadelphia Times in noticing
the peculiar conduct of Russia just
now toward the Jew has the follow
ing to say:
The venomOus persecution of the
Jews is not, of course, due to their re-
ligion so much as to their activity in
the work of freedom. Centuries of OPP
preston and of natural and forced
abstemiousness have raised the Rus
sian Jew to a mental and moral level
far higher than that of the people
among whom he dwells. An innate
liberality of sentiment, the power pas
sively to endure suffering, and mark
ed intellectually have combined to
give him leadership that he has good
enough reasons to conceal, while his
nomadic habits make of him almost
the only possible means of commune
cation between the scattered revolu-
tionary groups who dare not commit
anything to writing. The Jews in Rus
STA are the nerves of the revolution, its
nntiring servants, and its uncomplain-
ing martyrs.
There is another reason why the
Jews are Delng driven out. 1ney own
property of value. This is being seized
by the Russian in part, and being TAX
en- at such prices as make the pre-
tended purchases almost highway rob-
berry. The Russian nation today has
degenerated until now no other nation
regards it as it was regarded few
years ago. Then it was the first power
in Europe, regarded possibly on this
account as the first powerin the world,
Today that country is down in the
class of nations, and the ease with
which the Japanese Inundated them,
shows a weakness never before sus-
pected. They have little of which to
boast.
