wise guy who after handing us handsomely
embossed card, explained that he was spend
ing the summer in Washington, where he
could visit the Smithsonian Institute, and Con
gressional Library, to ascertain whether or not
lie had missed anything in his lifelong study
of art, science and history. He had graduated
from an Illinois University, done research
work in New York. studied three years in
England, and was now finishing up anthro-
po1ogy, chemistry, and philosophy, in the ex-
pectation of taking several additional degrees
in the early fall These things, he explained,
would enable him to make a real contribution
as Negro exponent of education; and the
Race would doubtless feel proud of being so
conspicuously represen in world progress.

PROPERTY
RESTRICTIONS.

@s !
The Get of Appeals Of the District OF
Columbia has upheld decision Of the STU.
preme Court, affirming the right of white
property owners to restrict the sale or rental
of property to white persons only, thus de-
properties as to which white tenants in zee
have, in writing agreed not to convey or rent
same to colored people. No one, of course,
questions the. sincerity and judgment of the
Court in rendering, upon the facts presented.
a decision so adverse to the hopes of the Negro
citizens: for of course, the hypothetical ques.
ton arises as to what the general situation
would be were white property owners the city
over or tile country over for that matter to
enter into similar agreements of restriction as
to the descendants of slave people who have,
in the larger sense, had to purchase or rent
from white owners Or landlords all the pro-
perty rights they have ever acquired in this
country.
Courts of law, however, decide; they do nor
instruct any one other than their juries
Hence, the grave question arises as to whether
or not the issues which, in restricted property
cases. have been carried to appeal courts hav.
been correct and proper ones. 1t appears
that the principal issues which have been
Joined in these cases were Constitutional and
public policy issues. based upon civil rights
rather than upon strict real property rights as
passed upon by the courts since the earliest
days of the English Common Law.
Without the slightest desire to criticlse.
and only with the honest hope of broadening
the scope of the issues in these retrictive-
agreement cases, we beg to call attention to
The view which the law has always taken OF
restraints upon alienation and the rule against
perputies. each of which doctrines has mitch
to do with the so-calfed land covenants, as to
which en,rent urists, have said: Much de-
pNnds uooa whether such covenants. tagree
ments tend directly or necessarily to enhance
it (t1r land) value Or render it more bene-
fetal to those by whom It may be owned Or

authority. there must be a privity of estat

conn part
Th~se highly technical points of the law of
real property it seems to Our humble mind,
take pr cedence over the general laws Or
civil rights. and with sincere apologies to the
legal profession, we point them out in good
faith. with honest motives. and with thu cof1-
viction that there is a way to break down the
