son to be removed, or those having

Solicitor Poe then cites the
Berea College case, which is not at
all analogous to the questions under
discussion. The college was not
owned by the students. The educa-
tional department is in the hands of
the State. and regulations Of the
students have been delegated to it
for more than a decade. The in
dividual right of a law-abiding citi-
zen TO reside within the confines Of
his own home has never been ques-
toned except by a mob. and it is
strange that a Northern city like
Baltimore should lead in the move
ment.
If the City Solicitor cannot argue
his cases with more legal ability
than is shown in this instance. we
are forced to conclude that there is
dearth OF legal ability in the Mon
umental City. 1t is gratifying, too.
to realize that the law which is be-
ing used against the poor Negro to-
day will be used against the poor
white man tomorrow. The enact
ing of legislation of this description
has always reacted upon the com.
munity which permitted it and has
returned to plague the inventors.
We do not now, and we have never
taken, the Baltimore situation Sc
riously. II shows that the colored
people OF Baltimore are increasing
their real estate holdings and ad.
yanciug in the financial centres Of
the world. White men who are en-
yious are devisiug means to check
this progress, but they might as well
attempt to- check the waves of the
Atlantic with a broom or to darn up
a river with a shovel. It will slim
ulate other colored people TO great
er efforts, and they will buy block
after block of real estate. pile m

tial enough 10 either make all Of
this outrageous legislation a dead
letter or powerful enough Political
.ly to erase every vestige OF it from
the statute books OF the States in
which it has been enacted.
Let there be no despair then.
Press onward and upward and show
to Mr.. Poe and his associates that
there is no power under the sun that
can check the onward march OF a
determined and progressive people.
Let Baltimore cucumber its ordi-
nance books with this race discrim-
mating legislation. Let 1t outlaw
every citizen of color within it's
confines; let 1t send out it's war
cries and enunciate its doctrines.
and when all is said and done, our

But the attorney errs when he
rails TO note the fact that the Con-
stitution Of the United States does
not take notice Of such racial char.
acteristics as those cited. but ex-
pressly forbids racial determinations
in favor Of one citizen as against
another, and that the discriminat.
ing against both races does not
materially affect the situation any
more than the denial of political
rights to white man could be used
as a plea in justification for the de-
NAL of political rights to a coIorel
one. The point is that political
rights should not have been denied
TO either.
Solicitor Poe is quoted further:
Why should the State put itself
10 the extra expense of providing
separate schools for the colored
race? Why should common car
riers be put to the extra expense of
providing separate accommodations
Tor the cOlored race Why should
marriage between the races be pro-

the communities where such legis-
lation prevails the people actually

tion and safety of the community

BALTIMORE'S CITY SOLICITOR
AND HIS OPINION.

II the report of the opinion of the
City Solicitor OF Baltimore is cor
rect. then that Northern city is very
much Ia need of O. competent Off
cial in that official department OF
the city government. The gentle
man in question sails under the cog
nomen Of Mr.. Poe, and he gives
away his case in the opening of his
remarks, as follows:
The police power is the broadest
power possessed by the State. 40
attempt has ever been made 20
strictly define il. IL is spoken of
as the power OF the state TO pass
laws and 10 prescribe regulations in
order TO promote the health, peace,
morals. education and good order of
the people. The power, however. is
not an absolute one, and Is subject
10 control by the courts. Almost
every valid exercise Of the police
power interferes with and is a re-
striction upon individual and prop
erty rights.
In determining upon the validity
of a police regulation the questions
that present themselves usually are:
First-Does serious situation &c.
tually exist that calls for relief?
Seconl-Does the situation affect
the health, morals, safety or good
order OF the community?
Thirds the proposed measure
reasonably calculated TO afford re-
lief?
II all these questions can be
answered in the Affirmative. the pre-
sumption is in favor Of the validity
OF the measure, Notwithstanding the
fact that Individual and property
rights may be seriously affected
thereby.
But these questions cannot all
be answered in the affirmative. Does
a serious situation actually exist in
the purchase by a cultured citizen
Of color OF valuable piece Of real
estate in block occupied by white
residents and vice versa?
Does such a purchase and occu-
pancy by either a white or colored
person affect the health, morals.
safety or good of the community?
If 1t does affect the situation In the
case OF a colored person moving in
block occupied by white people,
how can you argue that IL affects the
situation in the case of a white
person moving in a block occupied
by colored people? And yet IT must
affect in both cases in order to main
tain that basis of equality guaran-
teed by the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Constitution OF the United
States.
City Solicitor Poe continues:
1t cannot be denied at this late
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1910-12-31

and State governments, 10 which he
pays taxes are pledged to protect him
in the peaceful possession of the
property which he purchased.
This is such a simple, fundamen-
tai principle of law that 1t is sur
prising that any lawyer OF reputa-
ton OF standing could be found to
oppose such a self-evident PROPOSE
ton. This is not all for the owner

The colored citizen has not pur-
chased a railroad or a hotel or a
theatre or a street-car or a school
house or a college as an Individual,
but when he buys a residence he
owns 1t outright. and so long as he
is a citizen there is no power to pre-
vent his occupancy of the thing pur-
chased. On the other hand, the city

STOPPING or erect, he was a mark for
Johnson's accurately driven blows.
Johnson simply waited for the big
white man to come i'm. and chopped
his face to pieces. They came into a
clinch after n feeble attempt by JEFF

body, and as they broke away, john
