well known purpose of taking a like
action. The movement Is under such
Roadway in Alabama that no one
doubts its early success there also.
The matter has been much discussed
in Georgia, where apparent setbacks
do not seem to Us to indicate any
likelihood that this state will not also
In the early future follow the exam
pie Of its neighbors. The movement
began under the apOstleship Of the
late Senator James z. George, Of
Mississippi, some ten years ago. The
South Carolina enactment following
that Of Mississippi bears the date of
1896; that of Louisiana Comes little
later. 10 50 far as franchise restric-
tiOns on their face apply equally to
the entire citizenship, and do not set
up class or race distinctions, they are
not likely to be annulled by an ap-
peal to the supreme court Of the
United States. But they have one
very practical bearing that interests
the people Of the whole country.
Under the amended constitution of
the United States, representation in
congress Is not based essentially upon
the relative number Of people living
in the various states, but rather upon
the number of legal male voters.
This distinction was not Of sufficient
practical importance to be observed by
congress in making the reapportion-
ments that followed the enumera-
lions of 1880 and 1890. But the reap
pOrtiOnments which must take place
by virtue of the census of the present
year cannot be properly made in dis
regard Of the profound changes that
four states ha re now enacted in their
suffrage laws

inherited from the fathers OF his
country their spirit and not their
aphOrisms Many a good man has
made will based On conditions he
thought eternal, and the next decades
development and change has made it
imperative and the will a dead
letter. The fathers Of this country
accepted the conclusions of events.
Their patriotism was not brilliancy so
much as manly recognition Of the in.
evitable logic Of circumstances and
events. You cannot run the United
States from hundred years ago, or
as Mr.. DoOley says. according to the
new illictiOD laws. We cannot vote the
cimitries." WashingtOn's example in
daring to accept and act upon the
situation is his legacy to US. To give
over the Filipino islands to one Of the
tribes there. a tribe hostile to the
other peaceful, pastoral, or more COM
mercial tribes, would be gross cow
ardice and rejection OF all the good
examples Providence has seen fit to
set before this country.
Mr.. Bryan thinks Washington would
have advised US to haul down the
American flag and leave the FilipinOs
to cut each others threats. do not
thus interpret Washington's life and
utterances. He was pre- eminentfy a
man of inspiration. When the crisis
came, that would have overborne a
weaker man. George Washington
read the writing on the wall and he
was never unready. He was man
of action, not OF surrender, and there
is every indication that the American
people have learned the lesson Of his
life and will sustain the administra-
tiOn which is nObly Obeying its plain
est lesson.

Limitation Of the SuffrAse.


From, the point Of view of the
southern negro the franchise bill
which excludes illiterate negroes
from the privilege Of the ballot, it is
beneficial. As an encouragement Of
education the bill is unique. 1t is
better than a compulsory school at
tendance law. What sincere, feryent,
missionaries to the negroes have not
been able to accomplish, the ambi-
tiOn that Mr.. Booker T. Washington
has tried to appeal to and failed. this
bill perhaps conceived by the whites
in an unfriendly spirit will accom-
plish for the Carolinian negro. 1t is
not conceivable that any black boy
who may learn to read and thus
measure up to the state constitutional
requirements Of voter, will refuse.
No man, and especially no colored
man who is endowed with large ap-
prObativeness, will long remain under
such constitutional anathema.
With such a literate clause in the
suffrage laws of North Carolina, there
Is every prospect that the state will
make a record in the next twenty
years that will induce Massachusetts,,
New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois
to incorporate such law in their own
statutes. II the illiterate could be
from the ballot in New
York and Chicago, the saloon might
lose its gripOn polling booths. Even in
Lincoln the unintclligent vote of the
bottoms is an unknown quantity. 1t
cannot be appealed to by the argu-
ments which convince good citizens
and it has elected men who have
never known the meaning Of civic
duty or responsibility.

for September, that this North Caro-
lima amendment will disfranchise

and South Carolina are the
three other states that have taken a
