JUDGE RESERVES DECISION
 TN GTrTr AcArrc-

After a day of taking evidence Thurs day In the superior court before Judge Gardiner Greene in the S10,OoO suit of Miss Margaret Fitzgerald of 40 Otis street against the city of Norwich, the arguments were made late Thursday aft ernoon and Judge Greene reserved da- cision.
 Miss Fitzgerald fell an the icv side walk on Otis street, near the corner of Mckinley avenue, on January 10, 1918, breaking her left wrist. and claims that as result of the injury she lost the use of two fingers of her left hand Corporation Counsel E. W. Higrins. arguing the case for the city, claimed that the plaintiff had failed to show la bility on the part of the city and, cn the testimony of Drs. c. c. Gildersleeve, and E. P. Brewer, the stiffness of her fingers was not due to the wrist injury but to a gouty condition and the de- posit of caIcareous matter in her joints | from which the plaintiff is suffering.
 Attorneys A. J. Bailey and Judge John | H. Barnes who argued the case for 1 Miss Fitzgerald claimed that the ely l was plainly liable and negligent anj that the stiffness of fingers was not shown in the right hand but was show7 l in the left, which indicated that tn. l breaking of the wrist was the proximat tt cause of the disablement of the left hand. They figured that Miss Fitzge-- ads loss in wages for 3 and 1-2 years amounted to $1,76665, the value of heI sisters nursing service for 40 week, was $40 which. with her medical bills made at east S2, ,256.65 expenses for whicl she should be reimbursed. Besides th
 there were the elements of suffering an probable future disability

oBREaoN rs RIGHT.

ss would rather teach my people thu
4 usesof the toothbrush and the bathtut
than that Of the IA caliber gun. =
President Obregon.
Exactly Nobody has ever stated
*St the whole question more tersely SC
far as The Register can recall off hand
Is President Obregon must be given credit
n not alone for expressing himself against
ornaments, but also for seeing that
y between war on the one side and the
U kind Of civilization typifed on the
\ other there is nothing in common.
The civilization Of toothbrushes and
bathtnbs is civilization of greater
comfort and better health. a people
given uniformly to use of the tub and
toothbrush, and the other material
things that we are building on, will
1 have more happiness, more opportunity
to develop human capacities, more con
structive stimulus than any people has
had before.
Construction is the key of our civili-
zation, if there is any key. We empha-
size, material comforts, not so much be-
cause they are an end in themselves,
though that may be enough, but more
because we believe that once we get
humanity up to decent level of com
fort it will getlahead faster in what
eyer way actual human destiny lies.
Armaments and war are destructive,
not only of human life but of wealth
and social cohesion. The civilization
of bathtubs is a peaceful civilization.
War is its enemy, because war inter
'rupts it's processes, and not only inter
rupts, them, but threatens them with
extinction at any time. War is an an
achronism in wolrd dedicated to bath
tubs. Toothbrushes are futile in a
world at the mercy of a six shooter.
We can t have world ordered both
ways. It is cleanliness, health, com
fort, the accumulation of social wealth J
on the one hand, and savagery on the
other. Obregon hit the nail.

VICTIMS OF CIRCUMSTANCE.

TonS Lewis, Joe Williams and George
Davenport are three victims of circum-
i stances in the Thorsdale murder case.
+ There is a growing tendency to fix the
4 crime upon Negro at any cost. We
apprehended and brought to justice,
Y but Why confine the whole activity to
I Negroes
Tom Lewis, a poor ignorant vagrant
! was taken up as suspect. This poor
fellow was beaten until his eyes were
black. He was ebuffed about in the
prison cell day and night in order to
force him into confession. He did not
confess. BloodHbunds were taken to
the scene Of murder and it is alleged
by the officers of the law that these
hounds followed the trail right to Tom
Lewis, cabin door Three months later
Joe Williams was captured and upon
his story Lewis was set free and Will
Jams indicted. What lie those blood
honds told! What rights have men to
be officers of the law who will allow
themselves to be led astray by dumb
Brntes. Yet it goes to prove that in
many cases some white men will follow
dogs in order to do injustice to a
Negro.
Now the case against Joe Williams
is about as clear as the one against
Tom Lewis. Williams tells story
that places one George Davenport on
the defensive. Tom Lewis was help
less. The officers would rather listen
to the bark Of dogs than to believe what
Tom Lewis said. Joe Williams did have
sense enough to make the bloodhounds' !
story a lie. Now if George Davenport
can prove that Joe Williams is iar
and Joe Williams can prove that Tom
Lewis is liar and Tom Lewis can
prove that the bloodhounds are dog
gone liars, the dogs will have to prove
d that the officers of the laws are liars
! in order to convince the public that
b1oodAounds will not lie if they are
allowed to select their own company.
I Moral Bloodhounds must be careful
about the company they keep.

couse, this is the Negro IS country. III,
has no other and won It have any other
The American Negro is more American
than any other racial group. But he j.
also human, and he was human long be
fore. he was American, and human be-
ings do not remain loyal 20 anything
/ which@is never loyal to them.
If the Negro is treated as an Ameri-
can citizen, he will, of course, defend
this country against any foreigners,
1 even against foreign blacks. But he has
small hope of feeling that way about it
SO long as the savagery Of Georgia and
Arkansas endures.
Just listen at the Herald and Exam
iner, how it sings: .tThe Negro be-
longs here-The yellow man does not
belong here.
.The Negro is no menace. He is
loyal. He is willing soldier in war, =
etc, etc.
This is true, but why on earth don t
You impress it on Mississippi? If the
Negro is "not a menace, - why should
he be burned, lynched, Jim-crowed, seq
regated, hemmed in, bullied and held
down2
There's a loose nut somewhere; either
the Negro is menace, or he is not. r
he is not. then there is neither right
eousness nor prudence in hiss present
treatment. If he is loyal, then those
who lynch, Jim-crow and bully him, are
sisloyal
We wish that the Negro could be per-
mitted to feel that he is simply an
American and man in this country. AS
it is, we are not just certain how much
enthusiasm he should or could have in
a war against "yellow men, because
they are "colored. But if the call ever
goes forth for volunteers to clean up
the backward civilization of Georgia
and Mississippi, we can stake our repu-1
tation on the prediction that every
American Negro from sixteen to sixty
would join the army within week.
