pre-existing prejudice
NOT GOOD PLACE FOR THE EXPERIMENT.
For this reason The military academy cannot
be made favorable place at which to first in
iroduce social intercourse between the white
ard black man. West Point win at the mosf
only be able to follow the example OF the coun-
try at large In this respect. 1t does not seem
reasonable expectation that young men OF a
race so recently emerged from state OF slavery
could compete success fully with those who have
inherited the strength gained in the many gen
eTations OF freedom enjoyed by their ancesfo rs
= and 1t was an act of doubtful kindness to the
colored race to force them into such unequal
competition: Yet one OF that race out of the
tary Academy without difficulty and graduated
with credit. although without Soc1al recogni-
tiop. If others can be appointed who possesses

their parents. The authorities OF the Military
Academy cannot even attempt to establish
social rules different from those which prevail
among the people OF the United States whose
sons ale sent to West Point for a military edu-
catiCn. "
The difficulty surrounding this subject Is
aggravated by the somewhat common error OF
aSclibing 1t to an unreasonable prejudice
against race or color. The prevailing ''preJu

law is valid. No action may ever be taken
under it yet it is none the less valid law.
Three of our present supreme judges, at the
election Of the fifty and four proposition
urged the people to vote for the proposition.
Would they have done so If the law had been
q nullity, IN their opinion?
The great iurist and author, Judge Cooley,
is not able to see any objection TO the refer.
ence Of a statute, after il has been perfected,
to the people, for adoption or rejection. Ills
views, in his own words, are as follows: 1T
is worthy of consideration, however, whether
there is anything in the reference OF stat
ute to the people for acceptance, or rejection,
which is inconsistent with the representative
system Of gsvt. To refer it to the people
to frame and agree upon the statute for them
selves. would be equally impracticab1e, and
inconsistent with the representative system;
but to take the opinion Of the people upon
bill already framed by representatives and
submitted to them, Is not only practicable,
but in precise accordance with the mode IN
which the constitution Of the State Is adopted
and with the action which Is taken In many
other cases. The representative IN these
cases has fulfilled precisely those functions,
which the people, as democracy, could not
fulfill: and. where the case has reached Il
stage, when the body Of the people can act
without confusion; the representative has
stepped aside TO allow their opinion to be ex-
pressed. The legislature Is not attempting,
in such a case, to delegate its authority to
a new agency, but the trustee, vested with
a large discretionary AUTHORITY, is taking the
opinion of the principal upon the necessity,
policy or propriety of an act which Is to gov
ern the principal himself. Cooley Con.
Lin. I'D Ed note Up. 120) Like views
were expressed by Redhcld, Oh. "a great
name in the law and enforced in a mastery
opinion, (Sec % p.356-365). In an able
opinion, Dixon Chi. Wisconsin, held that an
act of the legislature affecting the people of
the whole state was not invalid, because by
its terms, it required vote Of the people to
put it into operation. (26 Wis, 291-292. }
This, it is submitted, Is enough to demon
strate, that in taking the popular vote, on
the settlement of the state debt under pro-
perly framed statute, no new doctrine viii be
iuaugurated, and nothing proposed inimical
to the constitution, or not in harmony with
our representative system.
All of which I endorse and submit TO you
as the law on that question, and which up
sets the idea Of soma of our leading State
credit men and newspapers, who hold tie
legislature above the people.
Respectfully submitted,
A. NJ. LAMBETH, JR.
