STATE DIsFRANcHIsEMENr

THE negro has for some years
been boiling with anger and spit
ting flames of vituperation because
of the Legislative action of Missis
sippi, Georgia and some other states
that have amended their state con-
stitutions so as to actually dis.
franchise a large. percentage of
negroes and q respectable percent
age of whites. The constitutional
amendment referred to is based
upon a property or intellectual
qualification, very similar to that
which has existed in some of the
New England states for nearly a
century.
1t is unfortunate for the Negro
that he is incompetent to pass the
required examination requisite to
claim the rights of franchise in
those states, but he may as well
make the best of the situation and
proceed to qualify himself, for such
Is the ultimate standard of AmeIi-
can citizenship that sooner or later

As principle or proper measure
we most emphatically endorse it,
but a. q direct means of overcom-

negro, or any particular class or
race, We object. r.
Ignorance is the father of crime,

Unfortunately the largest percent

THE negro still insists that his
chief kick is not on the Spaniards
but on those fellows who shoot and
burn and hang and otherwise kill
our fellows in the south. Every
negro who bubbles over with pat
riotic enthusiasm for bleeding
Cuba and forgets about the un-
atoned blood of Baker, Loftin and
hundreds of others is fool and a
chump. Every conservative black
man in this country must say to

DISTINGUISHED LINEAGE.

- 49, - -
A. NJ. FKLrs, of Fort Dodge,
Iowa, received this week notice
that his mother, Elsie Ball Felts, is
one of the heirs to the famous
Joseph Ball estate which is estI-
mated at over 100000.
Joseph Ball died intestate in
1890 in Philadelphia, without Is
sue, leaving a vast estate consist
ing mostly of real estate, large
amount of which was leased for
80 years.
Numerous attempts have been
made to collect testimony sufficient
10 secure an equitable settlement
of the estate, and to collect data to
write up q correct history of the
Ball family, all of which have been
partial failures. Recently the in
terest In the matter has been re-
vived by the report that the gov
eminent was owing the Ball estate
. large amount of money in conse-
quence of the payment of the
French spoilation claims. The
Indianapolis Sentinel gives the fol-
lowing sccount of a systematic
effort that is being made to ac-
comphsh the desired result:
'The claimants Of the Joseph
Ball estate adjourned yester-
day after electing permanent
officers, president, V. E. Ball,
Brookston, Ind, secretary E. W.
Cans, Mansfield, Ind; assistant
secretary, Prof. H. B. Roney,
Chicago; historian, ]. E. Sutton
Logansport, Ind.
George Washington was the son
of Augustian Washington and his
second wife, Mary Ball, q descend
ant of John w. Ball, who emigrat-
ed to Virginia from England about
1857. His family has been salts
factorily traced in England to the
18th century and to the county of
Durham.
"There is no doubt that the Ball
descent from William Ball, Lord
of the manor of Bockham, Berks,
England, who died in 1910, is
authentic and through that descent
the crest which appears at the
head Of the column In the Logans-
port Reporter, is an old family
institution worthy of respect"
Their search in regard to the line
age has brought out the fact that
ali who can prove heirship have
flowing in their veins the blood of
the Balls, one of whom was the
mother of George Washington, so
that even If the heirs never realize
any material benefit Mrs. Felts
will still have the satisfaction of
knowing she is related to the father
Of our country for she is directly
descended from the Ball family.
