gates and Visitors to Get
Special Railroad Rates.

All indications point to q record
breaking attendance at the forthcom-
ing seventh annual session Of the Ma
tional Association Of TeacheN In Col
ored Schools, which will be held In
Oklahoma City. beginning July q, for
two days. The date seems to be very
timely, as persons desiring to make
the trip may be able to take advantage
Of the home seekers rates, which will
be open to the public on July 10 and
will enable one to make the trip, with
liberal time limit, for little more
than one fare for the round trip.
All the officers Of the association are
well known teachers, President r. r
Wright Of the Georgia State collegs
and Professor ]. r. e. Lee Of the
academic department Of Tuskegee In
stitute being the active heads Of the
organization. The meeting last year
at Asheville, N. c., Is said to have
eclipsed all previous efforts, but Pro-.
fessor j. III. A. Brazzleton, to whose
persistence and strenuosity all present
at Asheville can well attest, declares
that the entertainment OF the teachers
and citizens of the baby state will
more than compensate the visitors for
the long journey.
There appear to be some good rea-
sons why the meeting at Oklahoma
City should be a pronounced success.
The invitation presented by Professor
Brazzleton on behalf of the Oklahoma
state association at Asheville last year
was exceedingly cordial and sincere
and had the uncompromising backing
Of the state department Of education,
which, the announcement comes, lis as
sisting In the entertainment Of the ma
honal association. Strenuous efforts
are being made by the department Of
education In that state to build up
comprehensive organization that shall
be effective and permanent In its re-
suits. Negro education in Oklahoma
fares as well as the education Of white
children, and the coming OF the nation
al association In large numbers, bring
Ing representative educators from state
schools, colleges, universities and the
common schools, will be q source ot
distinct encouragement to the teachers
In that state. Surely the teachers OF
the Negro youth throughout the ma
ton owe that duty to their struggling
brethren in Oklahoma.
The program is now in the hands Of
the proper parties and will be well ar
ranged, as usual Some addresses by
prominent educators, public discussion
of live and fruitful topics as well Us
the sectional meetings will lend inter-
est to the occasion, and the social side
Of the gathering can well be left In
the hands Of Mr., Brazzleton.

THE LAW UPHELD
BY JUSTICE FORD.
Race Prejudice Given Slap In the Face.
New York Court Turns Down
Southern White Man.

Undue extremes to which some
southern white men In the north carry
their personal race prejudice 1gainst
the Negro are constantly being enact
ed. The latest and most disgraceful
affair Of this kind was exhibited In
the supreme court in New York on
Friday, March 25, when one Leroy
Bowers, southern white man, re
fused to serve as juror In case
because Walter E. Douglas, Negro,
was on the jury in the same-c case and
its foreman.
The suit on trial was that Of Paul
q. Richter against Bernard Rust to
recover $1,000 for commissions alleged
to be due over a real estate deal.
Charles L. Hoffman, counsel for Rich
ter, had commenced to question the
members Of the panel, who had taken
their seats in the box, when Bowers
got up and, addressing Justice Ford,
who presided, said:
'.Your honor, see there is a Negro
on this jury. l am southerner. All
my education, training and instincts
are against associating with Negroes.
notice that that man" (here Bowers
indicated Douglas) sis Negro. I
therefore beg to be excused from sery-
ing on this case"
Justice Ford appeared to be angry.
Addressing Bowers, he said: You are
unfit for jury service either in this
case or in this court. You are excused
not only from this case, but for the
rest Of the term. A man who ex-
presses your views is not At for jury
service"
We commend Justice Ford for his
manly action and timely rebuke to
Bowers, and we would advise all such
persons who live in the north to change
their residence as quickly as possible
to some other section Of the country
where justice is meted out according
to their personal dislikes for the Negro
rather than according to law.
