The trial was set for October 20
1908 at which Officer Burroughs was
acquitted of first degree murder.
The Times-Dispatch misspelled the
nol;coman's name. At the hearing
Of Rev. G. A. Simmons, who was
arrested at Brook Avenue and Mon
roe Street, in the Police Court tAe
colored attorney, J. Thomas Hewin'
appeared for Simmons with the an
nouneed satisfactory result. what
would the late Rev. John Jasper have
said about this action? He was noted
for his ardor and ability in preach
ing from the Book of Revelations,
Of all the persons in the world 1t
seems to us that Burroughs was
about the last one to specify just
what passage of the Scriptures
should be read to the colored folks
of this city.
Rev. Simmons was within his
rights and he seems to have known
his rights. We cannot for the LIE
of us understand why Walter B. Bur-
roughs, in view of his antipathy to
colored folks, better known to him
as "niggers," should have been as
signed to colored neighborhood,
where he would come in direct con-
tact with this class of people. 1t
may have been that he could not
stand the prickings of his own con-
science. He could have moved on
to the other place on his beat, espe-
cially in view of the fact that, as
Judge Haddon says, the matter came
directly under the supervision of his
own superior officer, Chief R. B.
Jordan.
We hope that it may be possible
to transfer Officer Burroughs to an
exclusive white neighborhood. But
what about that 22ud chapter of
Revelations? 1t is one of the most
sublime parts of that Book of Books.

s.Eud ! OneE'' s
Decision.

pels the adoption of what is called
impartial suffrage. Its purpose was
to establish all over the United States
one people and that each Of these
may understand the constitutional
fact that his privileges and immu-
mites cannot De abridged by State
authority. and that these rights are
rot confined TO any class or race but
comprehend all within its scope. The
General Assembly Of Virginia hav-
ing provided the primary as meth
cd Though optionaD for the nomi
nation Of candidates and the Supreme
Court of Virginia having declared it
when adopted an inseparable part of
the election machinery, it would seem
me necessarily to follow that the
Legislature cannot by delegation or
otherwise give vitality to claimed
right which it is itself prohibited by
the Constitution from enacting into
law.
