mors throughout the day that the

confirmed when Governor Haskell 49,

ably will be made in the face of an
injunction to the contrary granted in

Oklahoma City the permanent seat OF

is based on legal opinion rendered
him, in which 1t is held that since a
law initiated by the people becomes
automatically effective Immediately
upon its passage. Oklahoma City is
the permanent seat of government and
all official acts Oh state officers in any
other place would be illegal
The governor has also issued a
proclamation calling an election on

SEGREGATION Of the Races in Baltimore

the city council of Baltimore has enacted an
ordinance by strict party vote prohibiting ne
rroas from moving into certain residential sec
lions of that city and forhidding whites to move
into other certain sections. The chief pro
Visions Of the ordinance are as follows;
That no negro can move into block in which
more than half OF the residents white
That white person can move into block
in which moro than hnlf Of the residents are
colored
That when a new block is begun the builder
must specify In his Application for permit

fine of not more than 500 or imprisonment al
from thirty days to on's year, or both
That existing conditions shall not be dis
turbed No white person will be compelled to
move away from his house because the block
in which, he lives has more negroes than whites.
and no negro can be forced TO move from his
mouse II his block has more whites than negroes.
That no section of the city is exempted from
the conditions Of the ordinance. 1t applies to
every house
Ii appears that there are several cities in Dor
der and Northern States which have acquired
.arge negro populations. aud those negroes that
are pecuniariiy able are seeking homes In the
most select and exclusive residential neighber-
hoods. Their attempts TO push their way into
neighhorhoods where social exclusiveness is tho
rule have been manifested in several Northern
and border State cities. and efforts have seen
made by demanding exorbitant rents to keep
them ont This plan has not been successful
In All cases because negroes with means with
pay the .tigh prices IN order to carry their
point which il push their way into white
society by any means in their power.
The invasion hF the negroes into white neigh
roTKoods has heen seriously complained Of in
baltimore. and the only effactive prevention was
decided TO be a law segregatng the races It
does not change conditions they already
exist. but II carried out it will finally operate

The constitutionality of such has been

Miliiin l,nN kill.

Tbera ia nov pending in both houses of con-
gross a bill which provides for government pay
to all members OF the militia propordoned ae-
cording to the number Of drills that each man
attends during the year. y this biii sn"htu
become law each officer would receive 10 pei
cent 81 the pay OF his grade from the national
gov ernment and each enlisted man pay mat
would amount to 81 for each dril he attends.
provided that he attends not less than twenty
drills in each six months
Although such measure would seem 10 De-
long To the class that the economists In con-
gress could be counted on to oppose, stiil under
the stimulus OF the scare that has been cF"atea
has been created as to the inadeauacy OF our
military preparations there Is believed to be All
excellent chance that 1t will become law Viewed
from a purely practical standpoint. II would
DO only just and proper that the members Oh
the national militia, both land and naval.
should receive some compensation for the
arduous work that Is imposed upon them
under the PROVISIONS of existing militia laws.
The militia service has long ceased TO be mere
social organization. maintained for the amuse-
ment that its members got out of 1t quite as
much as for practical military purposes. The
mitiaman Of to-day has to do good deal OF
hard work and comply with many onerous
exactions on his time and energy without re
ceivng any compensation. even in the shape OF
amusement that formerly was the attraction
in the militia service small amount to
pay would present some sort OF practical re-
turn for the work that liz actually done and for
the obligations To the general government that
have been assumed.
AS under our system 1t liz not possible TO ma
terially increase the regular army. the govern
mcnt Is compelled to depend to- n very large ex-
tent the militia In like manner the navy Is
dependent mainly tho naval militia for its
reserve forces. That these two auxiliary branches
OF the military service may be efhcient In the
event of war. ii Is essential that more time and
work must be given by the members of these
forces dril. and training. To expect all this
work without some form of compensation is ex-
acting more than the government mas right
-airiy to claim,
II Is a realization of these facts that has
made very many members of congress favor
able to the enactment of the militia pay bill
even though It may ndd somewhat to the aggre-
gate cost Of the military and naval establish
ments The payment af a small sum 10
each militiaman would enable the government
10 demand greater efficiency Of him than can
now be exacted in strict Justice.--New Orleans
