ANNOUNCEMEN

The Alliance wishes to put empha-
sis upon the announcement that on
Feb. 4th will occur a Joint debate
which carries much weight and is of
importance to the people of this COM
munity and the whole race. The de-
baters are both speaking from convic-
ton and upon subject which they
believe OF vital Importance: Resolved,
That the lack of political liberty is a
more fundamental evil than industrial
inefficiency of our economic needs"
Affirmative, c. w. Buford; negative,
c. A. Franklin.
The subject matter is certainly
timely and vital, the speakers are
both of them well known in the COM
munity for public activity and plat
form ability. Each in his own way
commands attention and each usually
gets a hearing and convinces some
one of the righteousness of their
pleadings. What they will have to
say will be worth your while Each
speaker will be allowed thirty min
utes in which to present his side, di-
vided as they may mutually agree,
and when it is oyer-well, come and
hear and see for yourself.

AGAINST JlMCROW LAWS.
Louisiana Supreme Court UphoIds
Rights of CoIored Citizens.

New Orleans.-The recent decision
Of the supreme court of Louisiana in
respect TO jimcrow car laws should
gladden. the heart of every American
citizen who believes in law and order
and fair and equal treatment according
TO law for every American citizen and
who believes in legal rights and law
enforcement as against mob law.
The decision of the court is to the
effect that colored person has a vest
ed right to seat in n street car, de
spite the iimcrow law in effect in
New Orleans and other Louisiana cit
les. and that he cannot be moved from
n seat in the white compartment of n
car. provided there is no seat in the
Negro section.
The appeal was that of Joseph An
derson against the New Orleans Rail
ways and Light company. The tribu
nal affirms the verdict for damages
awarded Mr.. Anderson and increases
the amount from $50 to $3.50. The
partitions on the street cars in this
city are movable. The opinion holds
that conductor has a right to move
the partitions, but continues:
where passenger has found n seat
In the compartment assigned to his
race the officer has no right by moving
the partition to put him in the wrong
compartment when there is no seat to
be found in the compartment thus
newly established for his race" a
number of other cases based upon the
jimcrow law are also pending in the
vourts.

GLOWING TRIBUTE TO THE WEST

To the astonishment of the audi

of the Presbyterian church was a pro-
gram rendered. The occasion was "A
Haphazard Leap Year Festival" Ev-
erything about it was "Haphazard"
The attendance was "haphazard,, on
account of its unusual large size for
church festival. The participants
were "haphazard," since they were
unknown to the public until they ap-
peared. The renditions by Mesdames

Atwel Rose were "haphazard" in as
much as they outshone anything of
Its kind ever given in the past by the
guild OF its kind. The orchestra OF
which the Misses DeNeals are the re-
sponsible parties, and composed of
some fine looking gentlemen, whose
names "haphazardly" are unobtain-
able as We go to press, was hap

CLASSY" as only a "haphazard' or
chestra could provide. The menu
was "haphazard," the items being
varied, cheap, yet fine. The begin
ming OF the program and ending of the
same including the serving of the re-
freshments was "haphazard" for the
whole business was concluded a little
after 10 o'clock. The president, Mrs.
Laura Hill, with her untiring corps of
workers must be congratulated for
their haphazard Leap Year Festival.
