LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Some time
ago the Colored press of the
country and Colored people
everywhere were rejoicing be
cause the Christian County
Circuit Court had fined the l.
& N. Railroad $500 for viola
ting the separate coach law by
not giving Colored passengers
equal accommodations on
trains with white passengers
who :paid no more for their
tickets. This rejoicing is short
lived. as the Court of Appeals
of this State, on Tuesday re-
versed the opinion of the
Christian County Court and
held that equality of accom-
odationr does not mean ident
lty OF OmmOOatlOnS.
The fact that on separate
coaches the Colored passeng-
ers had only one lavatory for
both sexes is of no importance
according TO the court, which
says one lavatory for the Col
ored passengers is in proper
ton to the number furnished
the white passengers.
Hopkinsville brought the
fight encouraged and led by
Phil H. Brown and his Satur-

DO JEWS ACETATE

A few Colored leaders, both
North and South, decry ag-
i,ation for manhood rights.
They intimate that we must
not protest against the depriv-
ations lest we disturb the peace
full slumber and the repose of
the South and increase racial
friction. They say. Let our
grievances and wrongs along.
They will adjust them
selves" And a few of our
Northern friends and sympa-
thizers have likewise fallen
into this utopian dream.
1t has been Universally con-
ceded that the Jewish race is
a gifted race. 1t has produced
noted hnanceers, statesmen,
philosophers and poets, and
it would be we'll to observe
how that race submits to in
suits and indignities.
The B'Nai Birth News re-
ports the work of the Anti

Intra-State Jim-Crow Car
Law Upheld in Md.

Annapolis, Md.-The Ap,
pcllate Court Of Maryland to :
day upheld the validity of the
"Jim- Grow" law. The suit was
brought by James jenkins, who
refused to comply with the
provisions on a car of the
Washington Baltimore andAn
papolis Electric railway.
An appeal from the ruling
of the Criminal Court of Bal
timore City was taken. The
law in question gives railroads
operating twenty miles or
more from an Incorporated
city in the State the right to
segregate white and colored
passengers.
The courts opinion, which
was prepared by Chief Judge
Boyd, only passed on the State
provisions of the statute, as it
does not affect interstate pas
senger traffic.
Jenkins will now have to stand
trial on the original indict :
ment.

majority of the court declared
in the opinion read by Judge
Hughes that the law is suncon-
stitutional. Unfortuna t ely
fthls was an opinion only,
while the entire court agreed
in deciding that no action can
bestaken on this appeal be-
canse Of technical defect the
wayfthe suit was brought. 1t
seems that the colored people
who brought the suit did not
show that they had applied to
the railroads for accommoda-
tions under the law, or that
the railroads had notified
them that they would refuse
the accommodations. The
effect of the decision is to leave
tt unjust and unconstitution
al law undisturbed on the
statute books of Oklahoma.
But it should not be undist-
urbed long.
Perhaps the Supreme Court
is justified in treating this case
as it has treated it, but long
years continue to pass by with
no check upon the legislation
which Southern states have
enacted and have succeeded
in enforcing for the purpose
Of depriving Colored Ameri-
cad citizens of righ guaran-
teed by the national constit-
ution. Last year the Supreme
Court destroyed; all that was
left of the Civil Rights act up
on grounds which some Of our
most eminent lawyers and
jurists have declared were uu-
justified in both law and equi-
ty, and some trivial detect or
technical excuse has been
found which the Supreme
Court permits to stand in the
way of a definite decision es-
tablishing the constitutional
rights of our Colored citizens
anywhere. The rank injnstice
Of Jim Grow laws in the South
flourishes undisturbed. Other
cases involving this principle
Of equal riphts for all Ameri-
cans are still pending and we
hope that the highest judicial
tribunal of our country will
do its duty when the next op-
portunity comes.

MIR. w. M, Trotter, Editor
Boston Guardian:
One of our two city judges
willed all his estate to a color
ed nurse who had attended to
him during two serious spells
of sickness, Judge Chas. ].
Gauthreaux was a Democrat
but he was very fair to the
Colored prisoners and as a
mark of appreciation for his
kindness his funeral was at
tended by a group of PROM
inent Colored who spread
several wreaths from many
Negro clubs upon his grave.
Judge Gauthreaux was a
man who knew the temper
of men and how, often thro
crouch. many injustices were
perpetrated by those who wore
the badge of authority, such
as the city police.
We long to see another
judge Of his judicial temper
ament to weigh both sides,
as he always did, before cast
ing judgement. His likes are
few especially in our day.

MILES WINS COLLECTORsHIP.

DREsIDENT WILSON today sent to the United states
4 Senate the nomination of former Congressman
Joshua W. Miles, Of Maryland to be Collector Of In
erna Revenue for the DelawareM Maryland-District OF
Columbia district Il was complete turn-down for
Senator Salisbury of Delaware, and his candidate,
Alfred Raughley. this Partisans Of Salisbury
are asserting that Raughey was KNITTED by Delawar
cans" They seemingly to soften the hu-
initiation Of their political leader.
While Delawareans realize the hollowness Of that
plea, they also realize that the junior Senator de-
rive some comfort in using it a cloak to his
Shortcomings and humiliation The-simple truth
the matter that he overestmated his pull" with
the Wilson administration; that many of his friends
made foolish utterances relative to that pull" and
that he has been outgeneraied by the Maryland dele
CATION That fact that he has lost the fight for the
colIectorshp. it is in due to the knitting Of
Raughley by Deawareans, but to the overwhelming
of Salisbury by Maryanders
Public sentiment in this State has been strongly in
favor OF a Delaware man having the place. The ex-
tent Of that sentiment demonstrated by the fact
that in response to Senator saulsburys recent cry
for help two former Governors Of this State, both
Republicans, went to Washington with the large
Democratic delegation Of Rauehey advocates Demo
cratic and Republican newspapers in this State also
have joined in insisting that Delaware part of
the revenue collection district Deawarean should
hold the collectorslp at least part Of the time In
TACT, state pride gave to the movement in Raugh-
ley's behalf support which neither he nor senator
Salisbury could have obtained under any other cir
rumstances.
Raughiey has failed to obtain the coIlectorship
not because of treachery in Delaware. but because
Of Salisbury weakness in washington The junior
Senator selected Raughley as his candidate and he
should be man enough to stand fall with him and
