PROPERTY RIGHTS.

The attempts of st. Louis and
Louisville Ky, to segregate their
negro population have run up against
a legal snag. The St. Louis Ordi-
nance, adopted few weeks ago in
popular referendum, provides thai
no white man or negro may occupy
property in a city block where -
per cent or more Of the residents are
of the other race. A. temporary in.
junction against the enforcement OF
the measure has been granted. Judge
Dyer, in granting the Injunction, eX
planned as follows:
"The question of police power rails
ed by the attorney for the city is
sharply drawn, but ! believe tina,
these ordinances exceed the police
powers. A man has a right to Occu.
py property that he owns under the
laws Of the United States and the
constitution
The right of any citizen to acquire
and own property, regardless of his
color, has never been questioned.
And if. as the court says, and as
common sense corroborates. the own.
ership of real estate implies the right
to occupy it. municipalities that want
to keep negroes out of white resi-.
dence districts will have to find some
other way to do it. A case based on
the Louisville ordinance is now pend,
ing in the United States supreme
court, and it's decision will settle the
matter for good.

we made that declaration we should
have understood exactly what it
meant and the obligation it imposed
upon us. 1t was declaration so Sc

made it good and, of course, it could
only be justified by immediate and
thoroughgoing preparedness on our
part. Yet for 4 months after making
that declaration and with outrage al

OLYMPIC GAMES.

There should be general support
for Representative Hulbert's bill to
erect a stadium in Washington suit
able for staging the Olympic Games.
1t is proposed to build the stadium
in Potomac Park. near the White
House and Washington's Monument
in a place naturally adapted for the
purpose. The grassy slopes would
hold 10000 spectators, accommodated
on temporary seats, in addition to a
seating capacity for 5000 in the stad-
ium proper. The site commands a
fine view of the Virginia and Mary
land hills with the broad Potomac
rolling between, and is as picturesque
and historic location as might be
found in the whole country
The stadium would be used for the
Army and Navy athletic games, and
also as parade ground Thus, it
would have a permanent and contin-
uous usefulness. The chief thing now
in the minds of the. promoters, how
ever, is the Olympic Games. 1t is
felt that they ought to be held in
the national capital. And the measure
even if it lacked any other appeal,
would deserve support as a contribu.
ton to the re-es Enlistment of inter
national good feeling after the war
The great conflict will surely be
over long before 1920. But there will
be bitter wounds to be healed, ma
tional prejudices and grudges to
overcome 1t would be fine service to
the world if the United States could
bring representatives of the various
powers together in Washington and
help to wipe out bitter memories in
friendly and peaceful rivalry.

nounces that it is having difficulty
because of the great increase in the
cost of book-making materials. Its
cheap testaments cost twice as much
to produce as before the war. Paper
ink, leather and glue have all gone
up. The result is that this society
and other organizations that distrib
ute religious literature of many sorts
are having to limit their operations
