 The patriotic" history of the civil
 war which the veterans promise will
 have to run th= gauntlet of some very energetic and very naked facts. The
 old Articles of Confederation which held
 the s.atss together from 1778 to 17s9. when the present constitution took ef-
 f@ct, had a provision which denied to
 any state the right of withdrawal from
 the confederation without the consent
 Of all the others. But it was law de-
 volc of all penalty and, therefore, mere-
 " brutum fuhmen.
 Three separate. provisions were olfe1.-
 ca in the Philadelphia convention of
 lI87, which framed the present constitu-
 Vlon, Vesting power in the general gov- ernment to reduce nullifying or seeding states back to loyalty by force These three motions were offered each on US own merits at different times Thew W=re all and severally summarly voted down after discussion. The last four
 nlates 10 enler the union, two at the
 north and two at the south, New York ana Rhode Island, Virginia. and North carolina, ratified the constitution with
 the express proviso that the ssate re- served th@ right to resume its complete independence whenever in it's own wis dom the step became necessary. I refer
 to these qualifications of ratificatio es- peclally because Bancroft in his &C., count of the origin of the const titution
 omLts all mention of the separate state
 ordinances of ratification which are so
 eloquent in almost ievry instance of the doctrine of compact between the states
 Massachusetts and Pennsylvania were as pointed as Virginia and New York in declaring the constitution is a conn pact. Webster once challenged Calhoun
 to prove Massachusetts had taken that view The overwhelming proof is found
 in Calhoun's reply on the floor of ths
 senate, published In one of his speeches
 or the early thirties in the bound vol- unle of his work.
 There was no "ciyil" war
 The unsuccessful combatant in tha war between the American confedera- cles mas never been able to amend the | constitution so as to "settlS' the ques- tion. What constitutes state "rebellions | Is undehned by the constitution and is apt to remain undefined. When the state Of New York was in convention assembled, some ten years ago, to frame new consttu ton, a preamble declar, ing New York to be a fragment of the nation was indignantly voted down. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend. ments arg sorry opponents of the scrip tural, the scientific or the common sense view of the race question. I beg par don of MT. HanniS Taylor, but Those amendments are mere acts of congress, out Of line with the growth of constitu- tional government. They denote the passion of party and the fact of revolu- ton. That is all about them. The revo- lutionAry act of MT. Mckinley placing

 Jupiter and Mars are separate crea-

 whale and the gold fish, the black man and the white man ar= separate crea- tions on distinct patterns. Every por-

The colored races imitate They were here on earth on the Saturday morning of the last day of Gods creative work, but 1t was not until late ir the afternoon that the Cre- | ator said, after looking over it all, 'let us make man Ca man, of course) after our own image" The Adamites wsre thus appointed to the task of subduing l the earth and all it's atoms and crea~ lures to the mind of God.

 Bishop Turner urges the race to go to Africa for it's dues That is sound advice that will be slow to take effect. What the negro wants is contact with educated white men, coupled with the white mans protection, legislation that will secure to him tRse exercise of his initiative powers. k
