that won't clear up the matter.
Apparently one can manufacture
jazz out OF anything handy, like one
makes a salad or hall tree. The say
ing that the packing houses are using
everything, including the squeal of the
hog, must be true. Wartime economy
has forced us to use everything. The
Jazz mixer has taken all the things
which the musician and the boiler
maker and the packer throws away
and herded them into a palpitating,
compact mass, a cacophonous wiener
wurst of hitherto wasted sounds. 1t

There is only one thing worse than
JAZZ and that is Hawaiian jazz, That

THE COURTS DECISION.

Ihe decision OF the Supreme Court
OF the United States as handed down
with the unanimous opinion Of that
august tribunal In Its last analysis
docs not mean that that body has
gone on record against tho segrega-
ton OF the races. 1t simply means
that the advocates Of racial segrega-
ton upon the plea Of police-powcrs
have gone beyond the twilight zone"
set by the Supreme Court, penetrat-
ing into the "sanctum sanctorlum"
Of the Constitution OF the United
States itself In doing this these
unwise people have endangered the
fundamental property rights in the
Constitution itself.
When Southerncrs Of the type Of
Mr.. Justice White and Mr.. Justice
McRcynolds unite in such decree,
il is notice to the country that all
that can be done by law has been
done and that determinations OF the
kind noted must cease.
We take it then that it would be
unwise for our people to indulge in
any undue jubilation over the opin
ion, but to accept its benefits in
sober and becoming manner, rcaliz
ing that the results will be as
beneficial to white people in many
sections Of the country as to colorcd
people. Let us prove ourselves
worthy Of this recognition and only
take advantage Of it in cases where
necessity warrants the same.
There is an immutable justice, an
equilibrium Of fair-play that is grad
ually asserting itself and we can see
In this that the pendulum of human
rights is swinging as far one way
as ii has the other God be praised!

THE RIGHT OF SEIZURE AND

When United States officials held

passengers, both white and colorcd,
and to examine their personal bag
gage. without even the scmhlancc Of
law and without even alleging to have
a warrant. we wondered when the
end would be in sight.
Then protest was made by the
citizens to the Richmond, Frcdericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad Com
pany and that corporation directed
its very able counsel to take action.

GEORGE RlSON'S GENEROSITY.
One of Danvillc'S Public Spirited
Citizens Liberal to Soldiers.

Granville, Va, Nov ~. 1919
During the months that three local
military commands were quartcrcd in
this city and at the time Of their de
parture for the training camps, it is
doubtful that any other citizen, white
or colorcd, was more generous and
thoughtful Of the soldier boys than
was George w. Rison, one OF the city's
best known and most public spirited
and influential Negro citizens. The
Same is true of the benefits and cour
tcsies extended to the drafted coun
tingents both the white and the col
ored.
Since the departure Of the troops,
George, as everybody knows him, has
continued his generosity and thought
fulness to the soldiers and in this
manner has chosen to testify his pa
triotism. He provided Seeds" for
the boys in the volunteer organiza
ton and for the drafted men when
they were gotten together. His devil
cd crabs are gratefully recalled by
many who have enjoyed them. Sand
wiches. tobacco in the form Of chew
ing and smoking have been freely be
discrimination. Most Of he foods and
AL Of the work Of :-rcpal ing. putting
them up and distributing them was
done by George Rison, himself.
The latest manifest alton OF this pa
triotic generosity on Georges part
was afforded recently when Pcyton r.
Hatcher recently made an automobile
trip TO Camp McCeEan. laden with
viaud& and gifts for the Danville men
in that Camp. On that occasion Mr. .
RiSGn sent down to Battery f. and
Company NJ. as the local artillery and
infantry comm"nds were known here,
one hundred twists or rolls Of tobac
co, which he had PREF ared and put up
for this purpose. Mr.. Hatcher kindly
consented to convey and deliver the
tobacco Since then Mr. Rison has
hcen receiving heavily mail from
Camp Mcclellan. consisting mostly of
expressions Of gratitude from the
'hcneficiaries Of his generous thought
fu'nees.

protecting authority attempted to
search the passengers and their per-
sonal belongings despite tho fact
that this warrant could not under
any construction OF law be made to
extend to passengers and their per-
sonal belongings.
These acts were perpctratcd in the
face of the specific mandate of the
Constitution of tho United States,
Article ", which reads:
The right OF the people to be
secure in their persons, houses, pa
pors and effects, against unreasonable
searches and seizures shall not be
violated. and no warrants shall issue
but upon probable cause. supported
by oath or affirmation, and partic-
ularly describing the pace to be
searched, and the persons or things
to be seized.
This constitutional provision SUI
pcrccdcs any act of Congress. The
President Of the United States and
every official in this country are
sworn to observe this provision. It
cannot be done upon the plea OF
breaking up the whiskcy traffic,
which is Dernicious enough in itself,
but this braZen violation Of consti-
tutional law Is much worse.
1t Is evident that the very able and
distinguished Attorney General of
the United States, cngrossed as he
has been with his other duties, has
not had time until now to give his
attention to this phase of the sub
ject Certainly. he understands the
situation when the following ruling
was made and officially promulgated
1t reads:
'Thc Attorneys general Of the Unit
cd States has advised the president
Of the Richmond. Fredericksburg
and Potomac railroad and Washing
ton-Southcrn railway that, while it
is the purpose Of the department OF
justice to use all proper diligence in
enforcing the law against the trans
portation Of liquors. the agents of the
department have been given instruc-
tons not to search persons or their
baggage against their will until after
an arrest under Il warrant has been
made"
President William II. White. Of the
Richmond Fredericksburg and poto-
mac railroad took the position that
the railroad company was under a
legal obligation to protect the pas
scngers and their personal belongings
against unlawful Interference This
applies to colorcd passengers as we'll
as to white ones. Attorney-G cneral
Gregory has not hesitatcd to uphold
the law and practically to hold up to
obloquy those officials who have Oh
croached upon private rights to a
point where each and all Of them are
liable to suits for damages.
1t is all coming right and in the
decisions now being handed down,
