Ing exclusively with the French au-

Spanish ones would seem to indicate
that the former got tired Of fighting

pensive campaign at any cost. It
wGs plainly stated that when he ar
rived within the French lines he
was treated, as an equal and that
gpecial arrangements had been made
to give him a royal reception.
This arrangement was later modi-
fed, but the fact remains that he
brought with him his immediate at
tendants. his family and his treasure
IT is admitted, too, that he left some
very angry tribes behind, him and
that now he would not be safe In
his own homeland. With these
statements, it would appear that the
Spanish authorities will still have 8
war on their hands and that so fan
as the French zone is concerned
there will be peace.

No happening in recent years has
done more to arouse the moral sem
timent of the conntrp than that en-
braced in the trial and conviction
of Earl Carroll for perjury in con
nection with the bathtub episode on
the stage of his theatre. February
2j. 1926 in New York City A bath
tub was rolled to the front Of the
stage and was said by some to con-
tain champagne and by some others
to contain only Canada dry ginger
ale.
But this is beside the point Joyce
Hawley, a 17-year-old white girl ad
mitted that she was the one, who
sat in that bathtub, stark body
naked, while the guests drew the
liquid from the bathtub and drank,
she serving them. 1t seems that
moral depravity has reached it's low
est dregs for this girl admitted that
she was drunk at the time. This
class of people have induced, the re-

THAT RECENT DECISION.

We have read, with much interest
the comment upon the decision Of
the Supreme Court OF the United
States in the Helen Curtis case in
Washington We have been some.
w. at puzzled as to how and why the
National Association for the Adj
vancement of Colored People became
Interested in this phase of segrega-
ton and why it expended so much
money in securing the final decision
rom the chief legal tribunal in this
land, 1t seems to us that it did not
involve fundamental rights as i'm
pcrtant as those admittedly existent
IN the Sweet case.
We note that Mrs. Helen Curtis,
wlo is about as white as the good
God makes them, contracted to pur.
chase residence from the white
owner and this residence was lo-
Gated in an exclusive white section.
Eefcre the deal was consummated,
the owner was advised that Mrs.
Curtis had Negro blood in her veins
although to all intents and purpos-
es. she is a white woman. An in
junction was obtained restraining
the owner. who had signed con-
tract with Mrs. Curtis to deliver the
property, to bar her from carrying
cut this agreement.
1t was based upon former agree
nlent that the aforesaid white owner
had previously made not to sell her
property to person Of African de-
scent Or who may be with Negro
blood in her veins. There is no
statement that this contract or
agreement was made for monetary
consideration. while the contract
with Mrs. Helen Curtis was based
Oh the payment of a forfeit, If the
transaction had been completed and
Mrs. Curtis had secured title to the
property, the case would have been
different and it would have been
most interesting decision that would
decree that she could be dispos-
sessed. But in this instance, 1t
seems that the contamination of the
deal is invalidated in the face of the
fact that the last contract was pro-
h:bited by one previously made by
the owner.
Before the decision was handed
down. we were OF the opinion that
tie white owner could have carried
out the contract with Mrs Helen
Curtis but would have been liable
fci any damage incurred as result
OF the violation of the previous con-
tract. The point mSde by counsel
:@r the plaintiff sets forth that an
unlawful, an unconstitutional agree
ment, even though made in the
fern of contract Is null and void.
Tie Supreme Court gets around this
by setting up the argu-
ment that no constitutional question
is involved inasmuch as the provis-
len relates to States and not to in
Rapine, murder, arson, qualification
of civil rights and suffrage rights,
cruel and unusual punishmeDts are
not constitutional law violations I'M
less, such violations are authorized
by State laws In the words OF Mr.
Dooley. "And there We afro"

EIGHT REEL COMEDY
 SUNDAY AT LIBERTY

Make 'em laugh" says Johnny Hines, First Nationals latest star, and the hero of ''The Live Wire" which comes to the Liberty theatre Sunday.
 "The screen is literally flooded with productions having as their basis only marital and domestic troubles, com mented the dynamic Hines recently. Give the public the seamy side of life, show them their foibles but mix it up judicious1y with the proper amount of comic relief and you have the recipe for an enjoyable produc- tion.
 "The average moviegoer wants to be entertained for the hour he or she attends a motion picture performance and if given their choice between a good comedy and complicated do- mestic drama, the chances are they will generally choose the former. Life is too hard a proposition to spend much time watching the troub- les of others. We want to forget the things that are worrying us, we want to laugh, we want to give our imagin- ative selves a chance to live and function. And because motion pie ture comedies are in a measure able to meet that desire, hordes of people the world over gladly flock to see the good comedies of the screen"

 The message, which is being sent to thousands of congregations over the country calling for observance of Sun- day November 21, and of the entire week in behalf of world peace, declar- ed many European nations were ahead" of the United States in their pledges not to resort to war and un- less progress were made toward a general arbitral code the alternative would be lever increasing competi- tive preparation for war and recurring wars"
