Washington, D. ca majority Of
the Supreme court joined in an opinion
that the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law
proviso permitting railroads to furnish
sleeping, dining, and chair car accom-
modations only to the White race was
unconstitutional, but they did not so
decree because of imperfections in the
petition.
The case was one in which five Ne
groes, claiming that the entire law was
unconstitutional, sought an injunction
to restrain five railroads in Oklahoma
from enforcing it. The Oklahoma
federal courts dismissed the petition,
holding the law constitutional.
Amrm Dismissal Of Suit.
The majority of the court affirmed the
dismissal today because the Negroes
had not shown they had applied to the
railroads for accommodation under the
law or that the railroads had notified
them that they would be refused GER
tain accommodations.
The majority, through Justice Hughes,
stated, however, that they could not
agree with the lower court that the
prOviso regarding sleeping, dining, and
chair cars was constitutional
A minority, consisting Of Chief Justice
White and Justices Holmes, Lamar and
MeReynOlds, concurred merely in the
order Of afirmanee.
Holds Lower Courts Were Wrong
In the opinion by the majority Justice
Hughes stated that previous decisions
that laws for separate coaches for the
two races were constitutional were not
to be questioned.
The justice then pointed out that
defects in the petition presented an
insuperable obsta lie to the granting of
the injunction.
Some of the ablest White and Colored
lawyers in this city and in other parts
of this country are firmly of the Opin-
ion that if the celebrated "Jim Crow
Car Law" case Of Oklahoma would
have been properly presented to the
United States Supreme Court that that
august body would have without the
least doubt declared it unconstitutional
but such was not the case.
At this distance from the scene OF
action it does seem that the Colored
people residing in the "Jim Crow
state Of Oklahoma would have displayed
rare wisdom if they would have raised
ten TO twenty-five thousand dollars
which sum Of money would have en-
abled them to select one or two emf,
nent fair-minded White lawyers to as
sist the COlOred lawyers who had charge
of it; to have placed it square on al
four Of its feet before the Supreme
Court, 80 that there would have beer

or darting through loOphole.

cHnoAao's HEALTH EXHIBIT

The people of Chicago who are in
terested in making it a better place
to live in, should embrace the oppor-
tunity for studying the city's needs
at the Public Health Exhibition now
being held under the auspices of the
Chicago City Club, which opened De-
eember LIST, and will continue to Jan
uary 18th.
This means that every good citizen
should feel it his duty to visit not
only once, but repeatedly, this exhibit.
In his introduction to the booklet,
which is intended as a guide for those
who visit the exhibit, Prof. E. o. Jor-
dan, Chairman of the Public Health
Committee, well says that the public
health is the most important material
interest of the community and the state.
Then he adds either the financial
loss that preventable sickness and
death bring upon 9 community or the
bunting and disabling effect that i'll
ness has upon all the higher and finer
forms of human activity would be
sufficient reason for placing the con-
servation of human life and health as
the most important function of normal
community existence.
The purpose of this great exhibit is
to present in visualized form so far
as can be done, Chieago's needs for
better protection Of its people 3 health,
comfort and happiness, and in addition
to show now these important adjuncts
of city ire may be secured and main
tanned.
In this exhibit, which occupies prse-
tically the entire building of the City
Club at 315 Plymouth Court, there will
be presented in q visualized way, facts
and figures showing how thousands of
Chieago's lives and millions of its
money can be saved. BY charts and
diagrams and by carefully compiled
figures, the yearly losses from the pre-
ventable diseases are shown; and better
still the methods that may be employed
to reduce the needless waste of human
lives and money.
If you visit this exhibit here are some
of the things that will be presented
for your thought and study.
Nine out Of every ten school child
rem in Chicago have serious or minor
defects, which will impair their future
efficiency unless cured.
Appropriation of s125, 900 by the city
for infant welfare work will save ST.
0O0, 900 in human lives.
tuberculosis costs Chicago $2s, 900, 900
year. A procession of Chicago's tu-
bercular victims marching four feet
apart would extend from Lincoln Park
to South Chicago.
One half of the children who dies be-
fore two years of age are killed by
impure food. Proper inspection would
save nine-tenths of them.
Defective health retards $4,000 school
children. year, causing an extra ex-
penditure of S4s each or a total of
more than 100000 year by the Board
of Education.
-. In order to see and study the ex-
hibit in its entirety, it is suggested that
visitors take the elevator to the sixth
floor and work down; but before doing
so, they should stop at the Office on
the main floor and procure the hand
book which will give the location Of the
various health exhibits together with
much other interesting information.

lished a valley record for cotton gin
ming Sixty-eight hundred pounds
was once put through the ten stands
within the course of a days time at
the local plant since it was placed
in operation a little over a month
ago, and other gins in the valley
have quite often paralleled and even
bettered that record. but Saturday
night was the first time any valley
plant has put out in bales as much
as 1900 pounds with but the regular
operations is averaging slightly over
$500 pounds to its eleven hours run.
Four hundred and thirty one bales,
half of which have already been
loaded and shipped to McFadden
Brothers at their Galveston. Texas,
agency, have been turned out by the
Tempe cotton gin so far this season
One car of fifty bales went out the
middle of last week and the sixth
consignment of the same quantity
will leave today Weekly and semi
weekly shipments are also being made
regularly of cotton seed to the Phoe-
nix Cotton Oil Company at its plant
in Phoenix.
The night crew which was laid off
about ten days ago after a weeks
run, went back on duty Friday night
and in view of the present rate at
which the cotton seed is coming in,
the two shifts will alternate the
twelve hours each through all of this
week. If the fast picking continues
and bad roads do not interfere with
the hauling, the night force may be
at work even longer.
The cotton that the local growers
are bringing in continues to be of
fine quality and many samples have
been chosen for display at the state
fair this week. The exhibit from the
