JUDGE DYER’S DECISION
IN SEGREGATION CASE
(Continued from first page.)
tied in Lincoln county in 1841. He
was the owner of Negroes. I was
raised with Negroes, but as God is my
judge, I have always tried all my life
to be just to them, and God giving me
help, I will continue so to the end.
Ancient Arguments
“I have heard all this talk about
intermarriage and miscegenation and
all of that fifty years ago. Arguments
were then made for the purpose of
scaring men out of their wits by an
appeal to their prejudices. These
arguments, if, they may be called such,
were made when the question of
emancipation was up; it was the con
tention then that ultimately it would
lead to intermarriage between the
races, I believed it would not do any
thing of the kind then, and believe
so now. Negroes do not ask for it;
whites do not- ask for it; the Ne
groes only ask to have the same priv
lieges as others have, the same rights
under the law as others have.
The plaintiffs are Negroes born in
the United States; they are taxpayers
of the city of St. Louis by virtue of
which they are entitled under the con
stitution to the same legal rights as
any white, native born, or any for
eign bom naturalized citizen of the
United States. I would not be doing
my duty if I hesitated to deal out
equal justice to every one alike.
As Citizen Votes Against Them
“These ordinances I have hereto
fore considered. As a citizen I exam
ined them with care, and as a citizen
I cast my vote against them, and, in
my judgment, not formed particular
ly today, but formed before I exer
cised my right to vote, I believe that
these ordinances are void and illegal
and that the police power claimed
here cannot deprive a man of using
the money made by the sweat of his
brow in buying property wherever the
property owner will sell it, and, when
he does buy it, he has a right, under
the constitution and the laws of the
United States, to occupy it as long
as he obeys the law, and as long as
the property is not made a nuisance.
Everyone knows, we all know anu
regret it, that not only among Ne
groes, but among white people there
are communities which are no credit
to the localities in which they exist,
but 1 know some of the most reputable
men that are to be found anywhere
are found in this city among the Col
ored people. I speak of that because
of the argument made here about the
police power being sufficient to de
prive a man of his porperty, deprive
a man of his earnings and deprive
him of the bread that he makes. I
have heard that before, it did not af
fect men then and it does not affect
me now.
Grants Temporary Injunction
“I shall grant here a temporary in
junction restraining the enforcement
of these ordinances, and I only say
temporary for the reason that it has
been stated that there is a case in
volving a like question now before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
“As I said at the beginning, know
ing this case was coming, I wrote to
the clerk of the Supreme Court for a
copy of the record in the case pending
there, and of the briefs filed by coun
sel in the case. I have examined that
record, and I have examined it in
the light of these ordinances and I
find a very great difference between
the ordinance before the Supreme
Court and the ordinances here, but
being desirous of not taking any ac
tion on issues on which the Supreme
Court is to pass, and whose decision
it is my duty and the duty of every
other citifcen of the United States to
acquiesce in, I will make this injunc
tion temporary; otherwise but for the
pendency of that case I would make it
permanent.
“The order will be that these in
junctions as prayed for in these bills
will be granted, a continuing order
until the further order of this court."
It will be of interest to local read
ers to learn that Judge Dyer is a
member of the Church of the Holy
Communion, St. Louis, of which the
ltev. James Wise, an old Omaha boy,
former rector of St. Martin’s, South
Omaha, and now bishop-coadjutor
elect of Texas, is rector.
