They spent Friday instpectir.g the buildings and tlie grounds .and getting acquainted with the faculty and students, o f the Institute. Friday evening they wpre honored with a reception at Lincoln Lodge, the beautiful home c f the pres­ ident, where. Dean and Mrs. Robison will reside if they decide to go to Lin­ coln Institute. They returned to Ce- dandlle on B.’-turdny. Lincoln Institute is a non-denomi- national school fo r training o f colored students. The administrative staff and, the faculty consists o f nineteen members besides the president. Lin­ coln Institute was inaugaiwteu, in 1C-21, soon after the state required the radps to be educated in. separate schools. Its student body was made up o f the colored students from Perea College at Berea, Ky. The Institute has made rapid progress.andf has been able to equip the departments quite adequately. It Owns four hundred and forty-four acres at the edge o f the biUo-grass region, This property with other holdings whic^. it has, a- mounts to ” six hundred and fqrty thousand dollars. It has an endow­ ment o f three hundred thousand. Many o f the most prominent men' of Louisville, business and professional, are interested as trustees and donors o f the institute/ Since the institute opened it hss graduated more colored students than Berea has graduated in thirty-seven years,, previous to the segregation of the tapes., Dr.-A.

While Judge | j Hough has sentenced a justice o f ; ! peace and other Constables, he s ta t/J ; i from the bench that the evidence hi i ; the cases warrmted a more thorough ( ! investigation, in that many otheis •*were involved. For that reason he ' is withholding sentence on the two constables that are regarded as the ring leaders in rr/d some places an 1 receiving protection money fo r others to operate. The evidence o f the cas' involved a principle o f morality and what the officers were charged with other than conspiracy. The startling thing was that ceil Jn leaders in two organizations made an ■attempt to defend practices in the commereialzed courts. The.evidence, the verdict o f guilty and the part the government h&s taken" leaves these soealled dry leaders, fo r profit, in an embarrassing position. All sections o f the state are invest- j ed with the commercialized or way- { side''court that drags thousands of motorists in and hold them up fo r the graft that can be collected. For th is : reason motorists generally are n ow . opposed to a plan to legalize the com- | mercialized court that the United J •States Supreme Court has killed. I Not so long ago the American Is- i sue Complained about liquor being served at the Deshler hotel when the Mayor o f New York" City was a guest but the publication never took any recognition o f the liquor party at the utility companies entertained mem- •".me hotel when lobbyists for the bers o f the legislature.
