TIE CAUSE OF HIS SUCCESS
BY James II. Booker
Washington-trom the decisive
victory won last week tB Congress

The case, from another view
point, reflects thc constant
though fruitless decisions of the
South to Danish, when ever the
occasion seems suitable the few
rights race Americans should have
in line with Law, irrepressa1le
citizenship.
COURT DID NOT GIVE UP IT'S
POWER TO SEGTI0NALISM
The thought presented in the
previous paragraph gains an in
creased support from the unheard

shown by the brief filed by the
Attorneys General from that sec

VICTORY FOR RACE
While some may not agree with
this wiiter nevertheless the whole
court battle represents a racial
victory over concerted moves for
discrimination against the Negro
both singularly and jointly as to
equal railroad accommodations.
"This," Mr., Hughes declared,
nwas manifestry q discrimination
against him in the course Of his
Interstate ior,pev and admittedly
that discrimination was based sole
Nv ppon tbo fact that he was n
