"A Missouri judge has decided thata
mother has no legal right to thrash her
daughter after the girl has passed her

Senator Norwood, of Georgia, in
his recent address at Emory College,
made some interesting points. Among
them were these: "Whilc emancipation
diminished our wealth, it increased our
political power. Negroes vote for men

rise and demand a surrender of the clcc-
