also be included in the work of the asso-
cation. When it was found that Negroes
were not to gain admission to the various
officers training camps, efforts were start
ed to obtain camp solely for Negroes, but
TINS effort caused considerable opposition
even among the Negroes themselves, be-
cause 1t was felt that the action was tend
ing towards voluntary segregation.
There are 700 young Negro men soon to
be commissioned as captains, ieutenants
and second lieutenants. These men, Mr.
johnson says, are the very best the race can
produce, most of them being either grad
yates or undergraduates of colleges, and
men OF high position in business and pro-
fessional life. eve feel,'' Mr.. johnson
states, that if we are to make the supreme

1.-The right which the ordinance an
nulled was the civil right Of white man
to dispose of his property if he saw fit to
do so to person Of color and Of a colored
person to make such disposition to a white
person.
1--WE think this attempt to prevent the
alienation OF the property in question to
person Of color was not legitimate ex-
ercise of the police power of the State,
and is in direct violation of the Constitu-
tion''
Thus the highest tribunal of the land
has spoken on what the Boston Negro
weekly, The Guardian, calls ''the most out
rageous of all civil determinations against
the Negro race" The Afro American New
York Age considers the decision immense
ly important, and affirms that it will re-
new the Negroes faith in the Constitution.
for lit proves that the instrument devised
by the Fathers of the Republic has not vet
become "a scrap of paper, but can still
exert a vital, living influence for the main
tenance of right and the annulment of
wrong" In Richmond, where a segrega-
ton ordinance has been in force, The
Planet, another spokesman for the colored
race, knows of nothing 'that will have a
greater tendency to restore the confidence
OF the colored people in the integrity of the
courts and the sense Of fair play in the
nation.' 1t adds hopefully:
IF our people will be conservative and
not attempt to take undue advantage Of
this decree, but will 60 forward only as the
necessity Of conditions demands, the result
will be highly beneficial and other vital
decisions will be handed down that will
tend to relieve the strain and give us all
OF our rights and privileges under the law"
But The News-Leader, one of the leading
dailies of the former Confederate capital,
sees no "great race victory" for it's colored
fellow citizens to rejoice over, believing
that the principle of residential race segre-
cation 'can be maintained by custom, if
not by law In Louisville, The Post, which
favored segregation, does not think that
any ordinance can be designed which will
stand in the courts but predicts that Louis
vile Negroes will continue to build up de-
slrable sections for their own race. The
st. Louis Post-Dispatch had opposed the
creation of a segregated section as ga men,
ace to the whole city," and rejoices now
that segregation has apparently "received
it's death-blow" at the hands of the Su-
preme Court. Cities, it concludes, "can not
flourish on basis Of short-sighted disre-
gard for principle and the rights of their
citizens'

THE NEGRO'S RIGHT OF RESIDENCE
Literary Digest)
"A great victory ''for the Negro and for
democracy according to editors speaking
for the colored race was won when the
Supreme Court declared the Louisville seq
regatlon ordinance-and inferentially sim
liar ordinances in other cites-to be ''in
direct vloatlon' Of the United States Con-
stitutlon. The sentiment of the dominant
race in the cities affected is perhaps ex-
pressed by the Richmond News-Leaders
remark that what the city cannot do by
formal enactment it may be able to accom-
plish justly and fairly by other means,
and it's declaration that race-segregation
remains "a fixed principle in the South'
Northern editors inclined to sympathize
with Negroes in the South rejoice at the
Supreme Courts decision, because, in the
Springfield Republican, words, 1--WE do
not want any Ghettos, or because, as the
Rochester Post-EXpress puts it, the ''pale'
has no place in America The Brooklyn
Eagle is but one of several dailies in North
ern States to rejoice at a unanimous de-
cision in favor Of Negro rights from court
containing Democrats and Southerners
Although the case which brought this de-
cision came from Louisville, the New Or
leans Times-Picayune explains that
1.-The question first saw the light in Bal
timore, where long and energetic move
ment for the separation of the races was
inaugurated some years ago. The Maryland
city had a very large immigration of Ne
groes at the time, who poured into districts
formerly occupied exclusively by whites,
driving the latter out and having, it was
claimed a most depressing effect on real
estate values. An attempt was made to
meet this difficulty by a segregation ordi-
nance preventing Negroes from settling in
the white districts or Streets The first
ordinance adopted was crude and was
promptly knocked out by the courts. A
new and more carefully prepared one
stuck and was found constitutional by the
local courts. The movement spread to 9TH
err cities and similar ordinances were passed
in Richmond, Va, Atlanta, st. Louis and
Louisville"
The expressed purpose Of the now in
validated Louisville ordinance which was
effective more than three years, was to
"prevent conflict and ill-feeling between
the white and colored races in the city of
Louisville, and to preserve the public peace
and promote the general welfare by making
reasonable provisions requiring, as far as
practicable, the use Of separate blocks for
residence, places Of abode, and places Of
assembly by white and colored, respective
ly."
In rendering the courts decision, Mr.
Justice Day declared that the police pow
err of the State, broad as it is, and strength
ened by many Supreme Court DECISIONS
''cannot justify the passage of law or
ordinance which runs counter to the linn
itations of the Federal Constitution" The
admittedly difficult race problem, he con-
tinued, cannot be solved ''by depriving
citizens Of their constitutional rights and
privileges To quote further:

When God Probes.

God loves us too much to let what
would hurt us stay with us. So, be-
cause of this love, he himself is will
ing to hurt us in order to save us from
the greater hurt. Probing is done in
order to get rid Of something that
would injure. And so, as Prebendary
Webster has said "Do not be afraid
of Gods probing, He never wounds
except to heal. He never humbles ex-
cept to exalt. Do let God deal with
YOU; do not be afraid of his probing"
Most of US have been afraid of it; we
may be dreading 1t just now. We shall
not fear if we remember what kind of
love is back of it: that all-sacrifcing
love that died for us on the cross. So
we can safely, gladly let ourselves go
utterly into his hands and ask those
nail-pierced hands to do with us what
they will. Then he can begin to show
us his love as we may never yet have
known the meaning of love.-Sunday
