one OF the greast victories of right
over color prejudice has Just been
won IN Louisiana in the case Of Miss
Lille Taylor, who has legally secured
absolute right to property valued at
over $29,000,000 to which she is
helress. Every effort, that white men
could conJure up, was made to wrest
the property from her but she finally
won and now is, probably, one of the
richest women in. the world.

Protest always pays. For some
time the people of India have been
making "silent protest. against the
many irjusticcs from which they suf-
Ter and now it seems that results are
about to be achieved. The govern
ment has introduced several bills for
the repeal of nearly all of the repres-
slVe and restrictive laws now on the
statute books.
And because they have protested,
England will give independence to
the Egyptians. Down South, Motion

THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

Postmaster General Hays, shortly
before signing his half million dollar
contract with the movie moguls. came
out strongly against the attempt in
some quarters to prohibit by law the
publication of racing news. The
movement had gained such Roadway
that its friends succeeded in attach
ing rider to a bill pending in the
House of Representative so that
racing news would be prohibited
transportation through the mails,
along with lottery and cheating de-
vices. 81 was not consulted about the
provision" declared Mr.. Hays, "and
| hope this section will not pass. THE
whole bill had better be defeated, in
my opinion, than to add this addi-
tional curtailment of the freedom of
the press. There has been a very
strong tendency Of late in that direc-
ton, and l am sure it is essential that
such tendency should be checked. I
am reminded of Voltaire's statement,
L wholly disapprove what you say,
but will defend with my life your
right to say it,"
There. are other ways of removing
the race track gambling evil than
through the indirect method of pro-
hibiting the transmission of news
thereof through the, mails. There are
probably certain crimes committed
for the sole purpose of achieving no.
toriety for the criminal through press
account Of his exploits. But that does
not mean that newspapers cannot pub
llsh news story of the incident.

The supreme court of North Car
DINA has just decided that schools
are not necessities. Long ago the
Wh1te people of the state decided
that education was not necessary for
the colored children, about thirty
cents per capita, more or less for
their instruction while the white chill
dren received about fifty times as
much. North "Caliny" is a great old
commonwealth, more or less.

which appeared on the front page Of

this mornings Tribune.
| have not at all forgotten that your
paper at one time graciously agreed
to capitalize, the word Negro. Al
though the word Negro is a term
which some persons of color dislike,
yet 1T was thought half loaf was

1t IS a very important thing for
great newspaper like the Chicago
Tribune to use colored instead of Ne
gro as a racial designation. Probably
no one thing has contributed so much
to the contempt in which colored peo-
pie are held than the use of the word
Negro in describing the colored peo-
pie OF the United States. And it's a
lie. The colored people are not Ne
groes. The are, and they ought to
proclaim themselves, AMERICANS,

Crime is sought to be checked through
laws directed at the perpetrator.
The racing evil can be curbed in
similar direct fashion. The people
are entitled to the news of the coun-
try, whether it is good or bad, and to
curtail the freedom of the press in
giving it to them, strikes at the very
root of popular government.

The colored people in the French

 If you came here to ask questions, why do you ask such silly ones?" the Rabbit Cat retorted.

 You have Rabbits tail' he ob- served. Did you once have Rab- bits ears? Were you once all Rab- bit? Will you some day become all Cat? Or were you once all Cat? And are you slowly turning into a Rab- bit?'' E.
 T never do anything slowly said the Rabbit Cat, unless I'm creeping up on game. And as for turning, when l turn l turn quickly-like this!"
 As she uttered those last two words the Rabbit Cat wheeled about and faced Jimmy Rabbit showing her teeth in a spiteful snarl.
 He jumped backward a little way. ready to run at her next threatening move.
 Will you go-or won't you"' she demanded. If you won't, I'll soon make you"
 "I'll go, thank you.' Jimmy Rab bit told her heartily. But won't you please answer just one more question before l leave? If you don't, l shall worry terribly"
 "Yes- What silly question do you want to ask me now?"
 Do you suppose l am slowly turn ing into a Cat?" Jimmy Rabbits ,-oi, elk lirTt h1 And if I am," he continued. will l lcse my long ears before my short tail? And when will I stop eating cabbage and lettuce and begin to catch mice and brds?"
 That's not one question: the Rab- bit Cat declared. You've asked me three. I promised to answer only one"
 Well, answer one, then" said Jim- my Rabbit.
 My answer is, 'Perhaps'!" the Rabbit Cat told him.
 Which question have you answer ed?" Jimmy Rabbit cried anxiously.
 But the Rabbit Cat replied that that was still another silly question and she wasn't going to pay any at tention to it.
 So Jimmy Rabbit hopped away. He felt very unhappy He took great pains to dodge any birds that he hap pened to see. And when he met Master Meadow Mouse over near Broad Brook, Jimmy turned and ran as if a dozen Rabbit Cats were chas- ing him.
 He vas afraid that he might al- ready be slowly turning into a Cat himself. And he couldn't bear the thought of catching Master Meadow Mouse.

 AS tiny ash began to show upon the end of the cigar, Allen Drake stepped forward again.
 Permit me" he said in the same ironically courteous tone he had used before, and he deftly slipped the cigar from between Smiths lips knocked the ash off, then stood for a second or two which seemed as many hours looking at the round brown object which meant to Smith the difference between comfort and misery
 Smiths lips curled back over his teeth.

THE RABBIT CAT.

Whisking around a raspberry bush at the edge of Farmer Greens gar den, Jimmy Rabbit came to a sudden halt. Before him a strange dame Crouched in the grass. She did not notice Jimmy Rabbit Her eyes were watching the awkward futterngs of a young bird-one of Jolly Robin S latest brood
 Well, well, well. Whats this? ?'' Jimmy Rabbit murmured At first he had thought that the strange lady was cat But a second look made him somewhat doubtful Where was her tail? The lady certainly had no more of a tail than he had himself.
 Jimmy Rabbit sat up and stared at this odd person. Then he cooked an ear towards her, She must have caught the movement of that ear out of the corner of her eye, for she turned her head upon her long, thin neck and glared at him.

 Nothing, ma'am," Jimmy Rabbit replied politely.
 Yes. you are" she insisted. You're spelling my hunting Go away, And don't come back. You're not wanted in this neighborhood.

Who Is This Strange Man,

If Allen Drake had meant to goac Smith into some sort of emotiona betraying outburst by his complet, ignoring of the bound man, and hi. impressively polite request of Lilliar and me to be permitted to smoke, he succeeded signally,
 You devil of q thousand devils !' The expletive burst from Smith { white lips as if 1t had been forced through them by superhuman pres sure. You spawn of a iellyfsh, you scum of the sea, to dare stand there and smoke when a man like me, a man whose shoes you are not fit to wipe, is burning dying
 "A million pardons my good man. Mir. Drake's voice was infuriatingly patronizing. T am remiss. May l offer you a cigar?'
 With swiftness strongly contrast ing to his languid attitude of a min ute before. he crossed to Smith and with one hand deftly put cigar in the mans mouth while with the other he held a light to the end of the ci- gar I found myself tensely watching Smith to see what his reaction would be His fury against us, his contempt for us were so patently at war with the most poignant craving a smoker can have, that curiosity as to his ac- ton sent my mental thermometer up dangerously near the bursting point.
 Allen Drake "MoyeS."
 That Smiths first impulse was to reject the cigar and strike the light from MT. Drake's hand was plainly evident as his face contorted with rage, and he lunged his bound body forward straining futilely at the bonds confining his hands. Then, as If act ing upon some driving impulse be- yond his own volition, his teeth clenched upon the cigar, and he in haled and puffed until it had caught the flame which Allen Drake held to it.
 My eyes went to Allen drake's face and I saw upon it a satisfied trium- phant look such as a scientist might wear who had just concluded some doubtful experiment necessary to the solution of the problem he had in hand. And I realized that back of his languid pose, his ignoring of Smith, and his Haunting of the cigar had lain a distinct purpose. He had
