SURPRISING the nlitera,e Vote.

The Supreme Court OF the United
States, as stated in a Washington dis
patch printed In the Sun Yesterday has
sustained the validity OF the Mississippi
election law This law was enacted for
the purpose OF "suppressing' by legal
methods the illiterate negro vote OF the
State. and imposes among other qualin-
cations a rigid educational restriction.
Tho result has been TO disqualify the
majority OF the negro voters OF the State
and 10 assure white supremacy in State
and local administrations. The supreme
Court OF the United states aolds that as
the election law applies 10 ililterate
whites as well as 20 ignorant colored
voters. the restrictions imposed by the
statute are within the field OF permissa-
bic action under the limitations imposed
By the Federal Constitution" Since Mis-
sissippi revised its Constitution and en-
acted a new election law South Carolina
has taken equally effective measures 20
restrict the negro vote. and Louisiana
will soon be In line. The Supreme Court
has indicated the way In which the
Southern states can solve the problem OF
their local governments without resortins
