An interesting account Of how tho
courts in many states were enlisted
during the year 1913 to aid the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People in the steady
fight to obtain full recognition every
where for the Negro race is presented
in the report of the ASSOCIATIONS a.
torney, which is made q part OF tho
fourth annual report Of the body, tusa
issued in printed form. The attorney
is Chaplin Brinsmade of New York.
Included in his work we're three
cases before the United States Sn-
preme court, namely, an attack on b
constitutionality of the grandfather
clause in Oklahoma, which, In effect
compels Negroes TO pass educational
tests before being permitted to regis-
ter and vote; an effort to win an in
junction against the enforcement OF
the Jim Grow" law, which affects ran-
road travel by Negroes in southern
states, the injunction having been do
MED in lower courts; another. test Of
the Jim Crow" law as applicable TO
interstate travel in sleeping cara
These cases still are pending.
The following paragraphs from ME-.
Brinsmade's report show the varions
interests which have been taken By
the legal department Of the assoctAr
ton in behalf of the negro race:
The segregation idea is spreading.
jacksonville, KY, has just passed n
segregation ordinance. l am comm
nicating with a committee OF colored
citizens of Louisville organized to op-
pose its passage.
THE Jim Crow problem han
reached a stage where little can bo
done except by legislation to prevent
segregation. It seems to me h a moro
can be accomplished along this line by
appealing to the various public service
commissions than by bringing actiona
in the courts.
THE recent statute of Florida, maxi
ing it illegal for white teachers to
teach In colored schools, and coloree
in white schools, is perhaps the worsa
example of recent ~anti-negro legisla-
ton. / am in communication With

 Our exports to Brazil have more than doubled in the past four years; they have doubled to Argentina in the last seven years and have also doubled within the last five years to the republic of Uruguay. want to say few words about that country. Although it has 8 population of about l,3OO.OO0 and China has population of at least 400.0O000O, we sell to Uruguay fully one-third of what we sch to the whole Chinese republic. In other words, the purchasing power of the average Uruguayan Is about 800 times greater than that of the average Chinaman. as regards the United States think we ought to bear things like this in mind when first we consider the relative value of foreign markets, and, second because I think this is an argument for increasing our exports through Mobile to the South American. and more particularly to the River Platte countries
