Segregation by Legislation a Failure

Speaking editorially Of the recent
segregation ordinance In Norfolk, Va,
the Journal and Guide. an influential
weekly Of the above named city, asks
and answers this question: Was the
discrimination made because the Negro
is not an economic factor In the Ninth
ward or because he Is not taxpayer
In the ward? No! The Negro pays
taxes directly on over half million
dollars worth Of property in the Ninth
ward. The discrimination was made
because the Negro had no voice at the
seat Of power. Segregation by legisla-
ton will not help this situation, but
will Intensity IL.

posing C. NJ. Bendixen for Speaker
of the House. Mr.. Bendixen is one

Mr.. Bendixen's efforts during his
several sessions of the legislature have

At all times he has been found work.
ing and voting in the interest of his
constituents and the masses of the
people of this state. His record in
previous sessions proves that he has
been valuable member both for his
district and the state. We believe
the present session could do no bet
ter than select Mr.. Bendixen as its
presiding officer.
He has not been allied with any
click or faction, nor will he be at the
coming session. Advocates of legis-
lation of various kinds will get a
square deal at the hands of the Red
wood county member.
His committee appointments would
reflect credit upon himself and the
House.
Should Mr.. Bendixen be chosen
Speaker of the House the members
of the legislature and the people of
the state will find that the lower
branch of the legislature will be or

session are most admirably portrayed
by the delightful Actress Teribili,
who is a personal realization of all
ideals of Egypt's Queen and player
of remarkable genius, as well as a
mistress of the art of expression.
Quo Vadis Cast
Antony Novelli, who won millions
of friends here as Vinitius in "Quc

the role of Marc Antony. Numerous
other favorites of "Quo Vadis fame
