64 THE ATHENAEUM to this constitution was passed the question was settled as to wheth er or not “persons born or naturalized in the United States and sub ject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States as well as of the States in which they reside.” The Articles states further that no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States nor shall any state deprive any person of life liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law. Such facts as those cited above are self-explanatory and need no interpretation. Yet in so intelligent a city as Atlanta, Ga., “The Gate City of the South,” within the last month the Supreme Court of Georgia had to decide unconstitutional a section of Atlanta’s zoning ordinance, the passage of which would segregate white and Colored residents. The condition which brought about the case was the purchase of property in a “white” residential section by a Ne gro, whom the city officials tried to evict. A similar case was won before the Supreme Court in a Louisville segregation case in 1917 by the N. A. A. C. P. We note that some landlords in the National Capitol are making a new attempt to segregate. However, we pre dict for them the same result that has accompanied every other attempt to segregate and put into effect ordinances which will deny to any persons the right which the fourteenth amendment guaran tees to black and white residents in these United States of America. Such a decision as was handed down by the Supreme Court of Geor gia on October 17, 1924 proves to the world that this government under which we live is attempting to carry out the ideals of its founders. _H. J. Bowden, '25. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE LOSES TO TUSKEGEE 10-0 OCTOBER 25TH, 1924. In one of the greatest games of the season, Morehouse College went down to defeat before the Tuskegee eleven. More than twenty-five automobiles from Atlanta formqd a caravan and attended the great home coming event at Tuskegee. Many spectators came from the surrounding towns to view the great classic. In all more than four thousand saw the game replete with thrills, and a great fighting team go down to defeat. When the first whistle was blown and Morehouse received the ball everybody' was surprised to see her walk through Tuskegee’s forwards for four first downs, Tondee and Clark gaining at will only to lose the ball on Tuskegee’s 30 yard line. Throughout the first half Tuskegee did not show any offense. Stevenson only kicked. And Stevenson’s kicking and Stevenson’s running were the reasons for Tuskegee’s victory.
