Raps Taylor Law
In L. Gaines Case

Our university bars the Negro
(while admitting all others for the
one and only reason that his an
cestors were brought here like wild
beasts in letters against their wills,
sold like cattle and held in slavery
against their prayers and hopeless
pleadings in short because
their ancestors were slaves.
Every Negro in the state, Just
as every white person in the state,
contributes to every dollar of the
large appropriations made by the
General Assembly for the support OF
the University OF Missouri That
institution belongs to the state OF
Missouri and to ALL the people OF
the state and every class Of its
citizens have the same rights to
its benefits that any other class has

JACKSON, Mich.-Charles Brown,

a deep gunshot wound to the right

man named Rice at a barbecue

George Rice, 81. OF 407 Francis

In a letter addressed to Victor L.
Hicks, clerk in Circuit Judge A.
Miller's court, o. B. Whitaker, can
didate for the governorship OF Mis-
souri, says in part:
II sincerely hope the court will
hold that the Taylor law is what it
actually is a subterfuge TO vio-
late the Constitution OF the nation.
The Taylor law was introduced
for the purpose of setting aside by
the state OF Missouri the sum Of
5000 900 to be used TO establish a
law school for Negroes to supply
the same educational facilities for
them as for whites, The Taylor law
was called by o. B. Whitaker a
subterfuge by the state Of Missouri
to evade the edict of the United
States Supreme court in a ruling
on the admittance Of Lloyd Gaines
to the University Of Missouri as a
law student
In a copy OF his argument on the
floor OF the House to the "hypocriti-
cal" Taylor bill, o, B. Whitaker has
this so say:
Why the Negro?
"In what seems to me utter de-
fiance OF the law Of the state, the
Constitution Of the United States
and the decree of the Supreme
court OF the nation, our university
excludes Negroes, while opening
wide its doors and privileges to
those of every other race, color
and nationality. even 10 foreigners

blood he is barred.

morals? Is it on the ground Of pa
triotism? Is 1t on the ground OF

The ground OF courage in defense OF

We heard this morning a woman
tourist who just arrived here via
PAA plane from Siberia We called

She is Mrs. D. Faircnild Wheeler,
bankers widow from Bridgeport
Con. Early this summer she de-
cided to add Alaska to her long
list of places to which she has
Travelled.
So she took a steamer north and
made the Yukon Circle Tour, going
to Fort Yukon and through the Ir-
terror before returning 10 Seattle.
That would have ended most
tourists trips, but Mrs. Wheeler
phoned her family long distance
tnaU she hadn't had enough.
To Boring Sea
So she headed for Boring Sea
aboard the Denali, saw Eskimo
and thinks and disembarked at
Nome. The ship was homeward
bound and she didn't like that.
She flew instead to Fairbanks for
more Alaska, then flew to Juneau
yesterday with Pacific Alaska Air
ways.
When we talked to her over the
phone to her Baranof Hotel room,
she said she had just peeled her
stockings and things to get into
a hot bath and wash off Alaska
Juneau mud accumulated in visit
through the mine.
That itinerary Of her trip gives
her somewhat of an Alaska tour
lists record. but she goes further.
All For Alaska
She said over the phone with
undeniable enthusiasm, I've been
to all the beauty spots of the
world, around the world five times,
TO Khyber Pass and almost every
where, but Alaska is the most beau
tiful place anywhere without a
doubt. Your fjords and glaciers
and mountains are just wonderful.
Switzerland can't compare.
That was the beginning of a
long train of words that extolied
Alaskas wonders. We thought we
were Alaska's best booster, but MS
D. Fairchild Wheeler leaves us
feeling like we are sailing under
false colors to even claim Alaska
as a residence.
