is suggested that representation in the
House should be based on the number
OF votes instead Of on tho number OF in

States. It IS estimated. would lose at

as many presidential electors

ciares that tho representatives, shall be ap-

have attained the height OF about nity

injunction lie subduel the earth and
made IL yield her Increase. RE subdled
the beasts OF the field and made them
serve him. He subdued the minerals of
the earth and worked them into impIe-

and made them accomplish such Won
dors as have startled man himself ln
very truth he has dominion over all

But when we say man we mean the
white man. All these great accomplish

has subdued nothing. but has been SUBJ
dued himself from the beginning until this

able To- hold his own continent. which

is only by the voluntary act of the
whites that the negro to-day IS free
