THE WORLDS FREE
DOM AT STAKE
PRESIDENT WILSON

The great fact that stands out
above all the rest is that this a Peo-
pies War, war for freedom and JUS
tlce and self-government amongst all
the nations of the world, war to
make the world safe for the peoples
who live upon it and have made it
| their, own, the German people them
selves included; and that with us
rests the choice to break through all
these hypocrisies and patent cheats
and masks of brute force and help
set the world free, or else stand aside
and let it be dominated a long age
through by sheer weight of arms and
the arbitrary choices of self-consti-
tuted masters, by the nation which
can maintain the biggest armies and
the most irresistible ornaments
power to which the world has afford
ed no parallel and in the face of which
political freedom must wither and
| perish.
| For us there is but once choice. We
have made it. Woe be to the man OF
group of men that seeks to stand II
our way in this day of high reso1u
ton, when every principle we hole
dearest is to be indicated and made
secure for the salvation of the ma
tons. We are ready to plead at tn,
bar of history and our flag shall wea]
a new luster. Once more we shall
make good with our lives and for
tunes the great faith to which w,
were born, and a new glory shall
SHINE IN the face of our people.

Differences as to the state presl-
dercy Of the Farmers union appear

word G: President Wilson, and DR.. II.
@. Alexander is having difficulty In
locating his opponents.
The Matthews man, it now appears,
will beelected without opposition. The
refusal Of C. C. Wright of Wilkes to
become a delayed victim, fixed the
way for an easy return of power. 1t
now seems that DR.. Alexander is 60

need not take seriously the hope OF
many as strong unionisits as him that
he will cut out about SO per cent OF
his foolishness in the annual address,.

Constitutional Lawyer H. @. Anyway,
DR.. H. @. is all right for the 10000

one per cent Of these will attend the
convention and that per cent does all
the Whereasing, perorating, the reso-
luting and the crawfishing done. And
the Dock is king of that cult Of min
itude.

Of course, if Dock should lift his
lyric tenor against ringing resolu-
tom of some character, exact thing
not now known, he might generate a
little opposition, for it is not believed
that it would be safe for anybody to
suggest that the nation deserves te

NO SEGREGATION OF RACES
Supreme Court Holds Compulsory
Segregation of Whites and Ne
groes in Residential Districts
Violation of Constitution.
Washington Dispatch. Nov. 5.

Washington Dispatch, Nov. 5.
Compulsory separation of the ne
groes and whites in residential dis
tricts is a violation of the constitu-
ton, tie Supreme court held today in
d unanimous opinion declaring inval-
id the Louisville, KY, segregation Or
dinance. The measure, which prohib-
tied persons of either race moving into
blocks in which a majority of resi-
dents were of the opposite color, is
similar to ordinances now in effect in
Richmond, st. Louis, Baltimore and
many other Southern cities.
Such laws, the court decided, would
not prevent the amalgamation Of the
races as was claimed by the Louis
vile authorities, or prevent race con-
flicts.
Desirable as this is and important
as is the preservation of the public
peace" said the opinion, "this aim
cannot be accomplished by laws or
ordinances which deny rights created
or protected by the Federal constitu-
ton"
Laws providing for the separation
of the races in public conveyances and
in the public schools where equal
privileges are given, the court point
ed out, have been upheld, but it as
serted that such legislation must have
its limitations and cannot be sustain
ed where the exercise of authority
exceeds the restraints of the constitu-
ton.
The courts action was a reversal
of the lower court which held the or.
dinance to be reasonable exercise OF
the police powers. The ordinance was
enacted in 1914 and the case was
argued twice in the Supreme court.
All State Courts Reversed.
The Louisville negro segregation or
dinance was appealed tothe Supreme
court from the court of appeals O.

State had declared it constitutional
