WE view with some CURIOSITY if
not amusement, the ruling Of a Min
nesota judge that the civil rights of
negroes does not extend to Sunday
schools. Under this Interpretation the
negro is entitled to recognition in the
public schools, hotels. street cars, pol
tiles and the theater, but when it
comes TO spiritual matters the black
man must take his chances under his
own color. Thus this judge would
have US believe that religion, like
beauty, is only skin deep.

advantage of the comforts, care and

ATTY. GENERAL LINDE HERE.
Henry j. Linde of North Dakota
Visits DEBORAH Friends.

Visits DEBORAH Friends.
Last week the many DEBORAH
friends of Attorney General Linde,
OF North Dakota, had the pleasure
of visit with him. He had been
visiting his brother at Ridgeway.
From here he went to Minneapolis,
where he had an important case,
and we take the following from Fri
Gays Minneapolis Tribune:
Henry j. Linde, attorney general
of North Dakota, arrived in Mime
apolis yesterday to take dispositions
i'll the case started by him against
the Equity Cooperative Grain En-
change charging fraudulent pract;-
ces Last night he attended the re-
union of his law class, the class of
1906 at the University of Minnesota,
at the Elks club.
Dispositions will be taken today
from the officers of the Equity in
st. Paul and from John G. McHugh,
secretary of the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce. Francis S. Muir
ply, assistant attorney general, is
in charge of taking the dispositions.
The adjourned hearing on the tenn
porary injunction restraining the
Equity from operating in North
Dakota will come up before Judge
Pollock in Fargo, June II. Mr..
Linde anticipates another adjourn
ment.
Mr.. Linde denied the charge that
his action was taken at the instance
of the Chamber of Commerce and
was directed against the co-opera-
tive movement. He said he was in
sympathy with cooperation, but
charged that the management of the
Equity was not in the hands of re-
sponsible men.
I'VE have traced 2,400 cars OF
grain sent by North Dakota shippers
TO the Equity" Mr.. Linde said, land
have found that nearly all of them
sold off, the shipper receiving from
to u cents less than the market
price. Many of these cars were sold
to employees of the Equity and then

makes the assertion that it does not

doesn't directly, but by the means i;

frauded as openly or perhaps more
so than if it did. We have records
of the 2,400 cars and can show just
how they were disposed of.

following in North Dakota. / should
say that less than per cent of the
farmers were members. Mr.. Lotus

make has neglected to explain his
own business, but instead has confn,

fectly willing that the society con
