UNIQUE CASES BEFORE
SUPREME COURT
One is Whether Negroes Can Force
the Burial Of their Dead In the
White Cemeteries.
[By United Press. i

WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-Some OF
the most extraordinarily unique cases
in history today are awaiting decision
of the supreme court of the United
States. Approximately seven hundred
mooted questions are before the high.
est judicial body on the eve Of its
October term.
Whether negroes may call upon their
constitutional prerogatives to force
the right to bury members of their
race In cemeteries reserved for
whites; whether the United States ar
my must pay for business damage
through fear Of shrieking shells from
its big guns; determining the rightful
mother of an incubator baby; and tc
determine the constitutionality of the
grandfather clauses" Of Oklasoma
and Maryland, designed against voting
privileges of negroes whose grandfath.
ers We're not voters are but few OF the
singular questions the court is called
upon to pass on.
Enough decided against the PLAINTIFF

lower court the supreme court mpst

terry company of Chicago shall be re.
quired to sell burial lot to John B.
Gaskill, negro. The body OF Gaskill,s
wife, who died in March 1912, still re-.
poses In temporary receiving vault.
The place of permanent burial depends
upon the courts decision. Four de.

IN the Forest Home Cemetery. Before

ed, as It is likely, If successful, to
provide a model for other states.
Commenting upon these laws, the
Outlook observes that we have come
to the point where it is conced ID that
the state should do for itself what
ever It can do better than an ind,vid-
ual or group of individuals can do for
it, 1t therefore applauds thsss regu-
lations Of marriage as holding forth
the prospect Of fewer crippled and
unfit children and a healthier, more
efficient race.
1t divides the general population In
to three classes-those morally and In
tellectually the best, who dc no, reel
such laws; those morally and intellec-
ually the worst, who will not heed
them, and tho great minority, not 50
very good nor SO very bad, who will
be vastly aided by them. It is for that
great majority that such laws are
made and it is that majority which is
responsible for the future OF the race.

PARCEL POST DISCOVERIES.

The parcel pest being new in this
country, 1t is not surprising that de-
fests and Inconsistencies are found.
One of the curious revelations is that
package may be shipped by parcel
post from Germany to San Francisco,
for example, more cheaply than It
can be shipper from New York to
San Francisco. This is due to the
fact that parcel post rates in this
country are about 100 per cent higher
than in Germany Our export postal
rates are about 80 per cent hiaher
than those OF Great Britain. From
the United States an 11-pound pack
age can be sent to the West Indies,
Mexico, Chile, Venezuela, Hongkong.
Japan, Italy or Peru for s1.52. The
rate of Germany TO these countries
for the same sized package ranges
from 40 to 80 cents, and from Great
Britain the rate ranges from 60 to
90 cents. Our parcel post export
business is not yet extensive.
In 1912 the number of parcels was
about 100000, while for the same
year the number for Great Britain
was 100000. Great Britain has more
than 200 parcel post conventions, Ger
many more than 100, while the Unit
ed States has At. The present law
permits the postmaster general to
make better postal arrangements with
foreign countries. A part of It reads:
For the purpose of making better
postal arrangements with foreign
countries, or to counteract their adj
verse measures affecting our inter
course with them. the postmaster gen
eral. by and with the advice of the
president, may negotiate ard conclude
treaties and conventions. and may re-
duce or increase the rates on mail
matter between the United States
and foreign countries" 1t is asserted
that under this provision the United
States can aid our export parcel post
business by making rates to meet
those OF foreign countries.
