Well may all friends of education pay tribute to his memory.” STATE SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS MAYOR (Continued from first page.) court. The case was there submitted upon briefs and arguments of counsel for both parties. The complete record of the evi dence heard before the lower court was certified up together with pros pectus, brochure, and comments, lo cal and foreign. The supreme court in the opinion just handed down reviewed the photo play and the alleged historical events that it purported to portray. The de cision unreservedly sustains the right of the mayor to revoke the license, and held that the mayor properly ex ercised his power of discretion in re fusing to permit the play to be ex hibited. “Courts will not interfere with a municipal officer upon whom is con ferred discretionary power, unless it clearly appears that he has wontonly abused that power,” says the opinion. The learned justices, after review ing the evidence and commenting caustically upon the attempt through the medium of “The Birth of a Na tion” to revive issues long since for gotten and by that means incite hatred of one race against another held that the mayor wisely exercised his discretionary power in preventing the film from being shown in the city of Minneapolis. The order of the circuit court of Hennepin county, dismissing the com plainant’s bill for an injunction was affirmed. This is the first case involving the many legal attempts to prevent the exhibition of “The Birth of a Nation” that has reached and been decided by a state court of last resort. It is a signal victory for the opponents of Thomas Dixon’s vicious attempt to stamp the whole male portion of the Negro race as rapists and renegades. The decision will be of incalculable benefit to the race and fair-minded whites in stopping the play wherever hereafter attempts to exhibit it are made. Mrs. T. P.
