Then, having washed his food to his
satisfaction he began to eat his
supper and the same time to gossip
with Billy Mink. He told Billy all
the news of the Green Forest, most
of which was no news at all to Billy.
for there is little going on that Billy
doesn't know. Then Billy told Bobby
the news of the Laughing Brook,
everything except about the traps
and trapper. 1t was very pleasant

the moonlight crept plump form
and sat down. One glance was
enough for Billy. Without a sound
he slipped up behind the plump
form.
"Booh!" said Billy, and when he
said that Bobby Coon almost fell
into the Laughing Brook he was so
startled. You see. it was Bobby who
had come out on that old log, and at

He had just about made up his mind
to leave that very night when he
happened to remember that while
he knew all about those traps he
had friends who didn't know any

I hate traps and I hate trappers! I
wonder If I can find any more traps

Billy continued on up to the very
beginning of the Laughing Brook,
but found no more traps. Then he
curled up in one of his favorite hid
ing places to rest and think things
over. He was strongly tempted to
go away from the Laughing Brook
altogether. He thought of going
down to the Big River for a long
visit. He felt sure that if he kept
away frNm the Laughing Brook the

ground his teeth and his eyes grew

that those traps had been set espe-

Billy. Eyes, sir, I despise trapper
It is bad enough to be hunted, but
then a fellow does have some show.
He knows where the danger is and
what to look out for. If he is rea-

be hailed not only as great gain
for Negroes because it establishes
their right to vote under the
fifteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition, but it also gives a broader
Interpretation to the so-called Civil
War amendments. Not only is the
right to vote established by the old

the right to register has been es-

NAACP Victories
Twelve out of thirteen cases car
ried to the U. S. Supreme Court by
the NAACP have been won. This
record extends over a period of
almost twenty-five years, from 1915
to date.
The first case in 1915 struck
down as unconstitutional period of
almost twenty-five years, from 49,
Is to date.
The second case declared the
Louisville segregation ordinance
unconstitutional in 1917. This Or
dinance similar to those in other
cities prohibited whites and Ne
groes from living in the same dis

The principle that a trial dom
mated by mob violence is but a

cess was established in 1923 in sew
eral cases growing out of the E.

gro sharecroppers were sentenced
to death and 81 for long prison
terms at trials dominated by mobs.
These men were freed by this de-
cision and the precedent of due
process established. This precedent
, has been used in many later cases
including the famous Scottsboro
appeals.
In 1926 the New Orleans segre-
cation ordinance similar to the
Louisville one was declared uncon-
stitutional in a memorandum opln-
ion.
The first Texas primary case IN
1927 established the right of Ne
groes to vote in the primary as we'll
as the general election and held
unconstitutional a Texas statute
which excluded Negroes from the
Democratic primaries.
In 1880 the Richmond, Virginia
( segregation ordinance, similar to
| the Louisville ordinance, was de-
clared unconstitutional in a me-
morandum opinion.
The second attempt Of the state
! of Texas to exclude Negroes from
/ the primaries was declared uncon-
stitutional in 1882 After the first
decision Texas attempted to evade
the fifteenth amendment by enab-
ling the Democratic party of Tex
as to exclude Negroes. This was de-
