THAT APPEAL TO THE COURTS

The legal fight to test the segre-
cation ordinance as enacted by the
Council of the city of Richmond has
been launched with every chance of
success, if we are to judge by the
array of colored citizens as given
out to the public. DR.. Leon A. Reid,
the chairman, is one of our most
progressive and energetic young
men, and he is Democrat in poll
tics, even though his fellow white
Democrats have seen fit to disown
him by denying him the right to
vote in the primary of his own
party.
j. B. Deans, the secretary, is also
we'll known as being reliable and
honest. He is connected with the
North Carolina Mutual Insurance
Co. Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., the
treasurer, is one of the leading Bap-
fist divines in this country, being a
member of the Baptist Ministers
Conference of Richmond and vicinity
and chairman of the colored branch
OF the Interracial Commission of this
city.
The Finance Committee is COM
posed of the popular Dr.. w. H.
Hughes, James T. Carter, a national
character, president of the Southern
Aid Society and holding the same
position in tie Commercial Bank and
Trust Co.; B. T. Kenney; w. s.
Banks, cashier of the Second Stree
Savings Bank; A. W. Holmes. pre-
siding genius of the National Ideal
Society; Mrs, c, C. Sparrow. and
that queen among women, Mrs.
Maggie L. Walker, president of the
st, Luke Bank and Trust Co.
The committee to employ counsel
consists Of that prince of Baptist
divines, Rev. W. L. Ransome, D. D.:
that brilliant young leader, a man
of the soundest kind of Judgment,
DR.. A. NJ. Bowles, and also q Demo
crat without a primary party, being
in the class with DR.. Reid; Rev. W.
H. Branch; DR.. J. NJ. G. Ramsey.
one of our most brilliant young citi-
zens; j. B. Deans; Rev. A. w.
Brown, pastor of Rev. John Jasper's
famous church and one of the most
powerful and forceful pulpit orators
in this country. He leads a multi
tude on his own account. DR.. l..
A. Reid completes this committee.
Were we disposed to oppose the
movement or its manner and method
OF conduct, we would be unwilling
so to do in the face of this brilliant
galaxy of colored leaders. There
are many more who could have been
added to the list with profit. We
looked in vain for our own DR.. G.
B. Hancock, Rev. DR.. R. NJ. Will
liams, Rev. Junius L. Taylor, D. D.,
Rev. G. w. Gaines, D. D., and many
others. Certainly the directing mind
has made no mistake as far as it has
proceeded.
We see success ahead if these gen.
tlemen will not shirk their respon-
sibility and will do their duty in see
ing that what is done shall meet
their approval. The next step is to
keep the interest to the boiling
point" and this can be done by
quick action. If the City Attorneys
office will cooperate, as it intimates
it will do, the question will be speed
lily answered and settled. The oyster
cases just passed upon by Judge
Floyd H. Roberts, of Bristol, Va,
at the hearing at Newport News,
Va, to our mind is case in point. |
Let the legal machinery move
swiftly one way or the other, and
let us speedily end the suspense.

EXAMINERS NOTES.

We regret to inform you that the
examination discloses shortage in
the accounts of City Treasurer, Chas.
l.. Olson, in the amount of S1.761.63,
and in addition to this we were I'M
able to obtain a satisfactory check
of the water collections for the rea-
son that some of the receipts were
blank and others were not legible. The
water record was written up to April
1929 only and therefore a canvass of
the water users was impossible. 1t
is possible that some further shortage
may develop for the reasons above
mentioned and therefore in making
settlement either with Mr.. Olson or
his official bondsmen, do not give
receipt covering the loss in full
or do not release the bondsmen from
further liability. Mr.. Olson and the
Mayor were informed of this short
age and Mr.. Olson filed his
resignation Immediately. Immediate
demand must be made upon his bonds
men and the money recovered for the
city.
By comparison of the receipts and
the bank deposits by months it is
evident that the embezzlement has
been going on for some time. With
the exception of two small items ag-
gregating $8.08 all payments were
made by check and therefore all re-
ceipts should have been deposited with
this exception. Realizing that there
are several bonds and bondsmen in
volved we set forth below the re-
ceipts, deposits and shortage as it ac-
cummulated month by month. This
may be of some assistance in arriv-
ing at proper settlement. The de-
posits marked with an K indicate
the net deposit for the month after
deducting checks or items returned
and charged back by the bank.

amount in the closed Eureka Bank
which has been charged off by the
City, though still carried by this De-
partment.
The Treasurer should carry an ac-
count in the ledger with any eastern
bank that has a coupon or bond ac-
count, debiting the account when funds
are sent them and crediting the ac-
count as the bonds or coupons are
received. In this way you will always
know the exact balance to your credit
in such banks. Through a telegram

a motion was adopted to the effect
that "Sosfar as the Montana fish and

that the grebe is instrumental in

The letter says, "You will have no

make an arrest Of anyone killing these
birds, although they are still pro-

The Once Over
MOTHER KILLS A BEAR
By Fl. z. PHILLIPS

AO&A
(saute Ste Marie, Ontario-With a papoose on
her back, Frances zucigesick, an Indian woman.
killed a bear which, followed by two cubs, attacked
her today. She slowed the animal with a small AK
News item).
at was nothing nothing" said Mrs. zucige-
sick through an interpreter to a reporter for this col
umn today. Really, I had almost forgotten the lit
tie incident. I can't understand why such q fuss Is
being made over it."
Mothers all over the world are interested in
your story" said the reporter. 'The proper care Of
the baby is a foremost topic these days. Speaking
more particularly for the mothers of America, I be-
seech you to go in and tell your story in your own
way"
But there is nothing to tell. insisted Mrs. zucige-
sick. '"T was out airing the baby when attacked by a
bear. and I just knocked it bowlegged, that's all. A
good mother could do no less"
please go on, Mrs. Zucigesick."
well, if you insist, I was walking along with lit
tie B-unnikens-that's the babylon my back when I
saw the bear come from the woods with her cubs.
Now, you must never run from bears. That's one Of
the first things I teach my children. The kiddies
are inclined to be frightened at first and it takes a
lot of patience to teach them not to run, but it can
be done. Well, as I was saying, I stood my ground
and waited for the bear. She came quite close and
then circled me several times. Then she sat down
and growled. She wouldn't 60 away and she wouldn't
attack. This was most exasperating as I had a lot
of shopping to do and had left a roast at home In the
oven.
"I tried to provoke her by throwing rocks at her,
but she just sat there. For a time I wished I had
brought my Hitting.
"Then the baby. amused by the bear at first, be-
gan to cry from sheer boredom, and I realized that
if the bear would not attack me I would have to at
tack the bear.
I'VE clinched and fought for about Is minutes. It
was really a very short battle. I could have ended
it sooner, except that baby was so amused and kept
crying More, mommer, morer
"But there was that roast at home In the oven
to think of and I finally decided to kill the bear and
60 about my business. So I just gave it the ak with
everything I had and knocked it cookoo. That's all
there was to 1t. Why do you newspaper men make
so much of trifles"?

Enact the Amendments

How many Of your supreme court judges have
died at the top before they died in their bodies? Do
you know what it is that kills them2 They have
gone on with their work too proud to quit. Too poor
to quit, perhaps, and they have stayed there until
the great labor has killed them"
Chief Justice G. M. Cureton of the supreme court
OF Texas returned this indictment when he asked
members Of the Texas and New Mexico Bar associa-
lions in convention at Amarillo to support the pro-
posed constitutional amendment increasing the court
from three to nine members. After the Cureton adj
dress had electrified a large audience the association
voted unanimously as favoring adoption of the
amendment at the polls by the voters of the state
on July 16.
incidentally the chief justice said the work i'm
posed on the present court is far too great for three
men to handle. During the last year the court passed
BOA applications for writs Of errors, 301 opinions Of
the commission If appeals and their own, disposed
Of nearly 600 motions for re-hearings and sitting in
conference around the consultation table entered
nearly 100 orders. Very emphatic indeed was the
chief justice. He said, addressing lawyers of two
states:
I tell you that there are not three men on this
earth who have the physical capacity to do that and
Keep 1t up. This is a matter Of serious import to our
state. We are at a turning point; but aside from
the public interest we Of the supreme court have a
private interest. We know that three men cannot do
nine mems work and keep it up-neither the three
who are there now nor any other three"
This message from one who knows the real need
should decide the issue for anyone who had not al
ready made up his mind to cast a ballot for this
amendment. In addition to being needed for efficient
handling Of the states legal business there is a hui
manitarian issue at stake.
The other amendment, one which would increase
the salary OF the governor to $4,000 a year, is equally
important to the welfare of the state. When the sal
airy Of the chief executive was set at $4,000, the pres
ent figure, 1t was a princely salary.
Now executives handling corporations Of the size
OF Texas usually receive twenty times that salary.
There and many county officials receiving more than
the $4,000 which it is now proposed to pay the gov
ernor and there are few who receive less than the
$4,000 he now is being paid.
To pay the chief executive so misery a sum at
least suggests inefficiency. The governor of New
York receives $4,000 per year. Pennsylvania pays
$4,000 a number of states pay $4,000. A governor
Is permitted to spend $4,000 in his race for the office.
If he is to receive only $4,000 for the two years in
office how is he to be elected unless he is either a.
very wealthy man or unless he possesses a very easily
satisfied conscience.
Both Of these amendments have the endorsement
of the thinking men Of Texas. Vote Tuesday and
vote FOR both.
