THE NEGRO AND SUFFRAGE.

.&@S Ns1SoA~O <Ax~D ~ = RAoAs
A few days ago steps were taken
under the auspices Of the Afro
American League to test the legality
Of the suffrage section Of the Louisi-
ana Constitution. The determine.
ton Is expressed of carrying the case
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States and settling conclusively the
legality Of the grandfather clause,
which has proven particularly OBJ
noxious in Louisiana. 1t is to be
hoped that nothing will be inter.
posed to prevent the final adjudica-
tion Of this case. We have no doubt
that the so-called grandfather
clause In the Louisiana and other
State Conventions is in the light of
the 18th Amendment unconstitu-
tional, and we feel confident that
such will be the Interpretation placed
upon 1t by the highest courts Of the
land. Whether or not, however,
that be the result Of the LITIGATION,
we welcome the opportunity of hav-
ing the matter conclusively deter
mined.
In this connection 1t Is interesting
to note that Senator Daniel, . prom
inent member Of the Virginia Con-
stitutional Convention, has submit
ted for the consideration of that
Convention rlan to limit sufYrage
and that his plan does not include
the grandfather" provision. His
idea is that the right to vote should
b made to depend upon educational
and property qualifications, Of course,
retaining the usual poll tax feature.
The voter must be able to read and
write and be the owner Of $500
worth Of property, although -elabo-
rate provisions are made for exemp.
tons from those conditions. If the
scheme proposed by Senator Daniel

A skeleton Under q Floor.

Pane, ILL.,, July 27.-John Rus
sell, q farmer living near Tower
Hill, suddenly and mysteriously
disappeared 3S years ago, and until
today no trace Of him ever has been
found. The skeleton of a man,
found beneath the floor of house,
which was torn down today, has
been identified as that of the man
who vanished a generation ago.
Several wealthy residents are un-
der arrest for alleged connection
with the affair. The circumstances
of his disappearance are said to be
that he went to Shelbyville and
drew $500 from the bank with
which to pay for some land. He
was last seen some miles from his
home and his horse returned home
riderless the following day, from
which time no clue was found until
today.

the result will b TO disfnnchhe
some white voters 1t the same time
the bulk Of the negro vote In elimi-
mated.
The purpose Of all the sunnge
amendments adopted Of late years
In the Southern States Is, Of eourse,
to eliminate absolutely the negro
vote without interfering 20 far - 1t
can be avoided with the right Of the
white man to exercise that privilege
no matter how illiterste and un-
worthy he may be. Under the 18th
Amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition determinations In the right
Of suffrage on account Of race, color,
&C., are prohibited. Where 1t aP-
pears therefore that the negro has
been excluded from the voting
privilege while the white man en-
Joys that right unrestricted IL Is very
strong presumptIve evidence at least
that the law denying him the right
to vote Is in conflict with the 18th
Amendment. The Virginia plan
seeks to avoid this and 1t must be
admitted that on its face is apparent
show Of fairness. It remains to
be seen, however, whether the ex.
emptions which are to be allowed
will not reinstate In voting favol
every white man In the confines Of
old Virginia, while still farther bar.
Reading the doors Of suffrage to the
negro.
The CAUCASIAN believes In fair
ness and justice and will Away
raise Its voice In their behalf. Il
does not believe that laws should b'
made for enforcement against some
and for others to evade. It Is un
relentingly opposed to ''loophole'
Legislation. Every law should b
; made universal In it's application
"squal rights to all; special priv
leges to none," should be the mott
for law-making % well as for law
: Interpreting. A Legitimate regula
ton Of the right Of suffrage. con
ceived in justice and executed fl
fairness, is undeniably the preroRs
, tive of the State. But no State ha
q right to abridge the privileges of
certain class of its citizens Will
} others who are no better qualiHe
and come equally within the pul
view Of the restrictive legislatiO
/, are permitted to escape the enforct
ment Of its provisions.

symptoms in such cases being a variable

lost its nutritive qualities, has become thin

SOME FACTS ATTACKED.

In0r0 are times Wn0Q the CruCn-
f0lness Of q statement causes it to be
attacked in q very vigorous manner
by those whose interest it is to sup
press the actual truth. And so .
statement recently made by Walter
H. Page, q North Carolinian. who is
now editor Of s"The Worlds Work"
is being attacked by certain people,
because these people desire that the
minds Of other people shall, if pos
sible be diverted from the truth.
Mr.. Page says In effect that poll
ticians have done more hurt to the
South during the past thirty years
than war, poverty, illiteracy, cpl
denies and tornados. This is .
sweeping statement, but it is . fact.
No matter how desirable it may be
to have such truth suppressed, it
def1es suppression and stands forth
in all its hideous boldness to any
one who will open his eyes long
enough to see. It only requires .
glance at the two Last campaigns In
this State to illustrate the truth of
Mr. Pages statement. Nothing has
ever happened in North Carolina
tina tcould put her so low and estab-
lish for her such . repulsive reputa-
ton "a these two periods Of redshirt-
ism and scoundrelism. All the
teaching and preaching that can be
done for . generation will not suffice
to kill out the disposition and pur-
pose to commit fraud and rascality
that were planted and established by
these two campaigns. For this the
redshirt politician is responsible,
and In North Carolina today, he is
about the lowest Of the low in prin-
ciple, and is only qualified to run
things by force or fraud or redshirt-
ism. One or the other of these
must be the regime and there il
little choice between them. Meth
or can offer decent and honest man.
sgement Of public affairs.
Mr.. Page placed the preachers
right ON the same seat with the poll
ticians. and said they "herded
women by the most stsgnant waters
Of theology"
Well, if this IL done in the South,
1t Is also done in the North. But
this is . portion of . statement we
do not care to touch upon. 1t is too
easy to Be Misguided and miscon-
strued in these days to permit brief
comment ON such an utterance. We
know there are some preachers who
are only miserable time servers, and
who preach the gospel just rs it Is
wanted by those who pay for it.
There are others who cry aloud and
spare not, and tell the living truth.
We do not know Of any in this sec
ton who condemned political ftaud
and rascslity, though there may be
some. Some are said to have been
chaplains for redshirt mobs. Silence
In the presence Of frauds or actively
In rascality cannot command the
confidence Of memo matter what
their character. The only thing
left for the time serving preacher
Is to work as best he may on the
sympsthies Of the women or their
charges and their love for and faith

After q brief period OF Compare
tive tranquility the Tillmsn-Mc-
Laurin controversy In South Caro-
lima once more FORCES to the front.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee Of that state, dominated by TIL.
man and bound to him body and
soul, has officially declared Its con-
vIction that McIAurin, "from the
standpoint of his honesty and self
respect, should tender his unqualified
resignation Immediately" ~ Sena-
tor Of the United States.
From tie standpoint Of decency
and consistency 1t would have been
better for the leonine Tillman and
his brave committee to have re-
Trained from any such expression Of
Opt ion. 1t will be remembered
that about . month ago Tillman
offered to resign and called upon his
adversary to do Likewise in order
that the people might decide be-
tween them. At that time there
was no thought Of excluding Nc
Laurin from the democratic prim-
aries, for to have done 30 would have
precluded fair test Of the strength
Of the respective leaders Of South
Cardinals political factions. Nc.
LAurin promptly called Tillman'i
bluff and sent his resignation tC
Governor McSweeney, who also re.
ceived that of Tillman. The Gov
ernor, however, declined to accept
the designations, and 1t is probable
that both senators were very much
relieved at his action, although, a.
was to be expected, one gentleman
INDUCED In considerable talk snd
buster before finally subsiding. Thil
was the status Of the case when Till
man and his Democratic State Com
mittee, probably becoming alarmed
ut the strength which the "nev
movement" was showing, de
cided to take upon itself tn
burden of determining what consti
tutes Democrat in the opinions o
the people of South Carolina. Till
man and the Democratic Executive
Committee have arrogated to them
selves the position of custodian ant
guardian Of the political opinion
and convictions of their fellow cit
liens.
In all justice and fairnes McLauril
was entitled to have the Democrati
constituency of his state decide be
tween him and Tillman. That h
has been denied that right simpl.
goes to prove his strength and tn
desperate straits to which his adver
saries have been reduced. Man,
Democrats in the South today n
doubt, are in sympathy with Nc
Laurin. The action of the Execu
tive Committee may have the ef1ec
for the present of preventing ope
aid and comfort being extended t
the new movement from inside tn
regular Democratic ranks, but sue
an effect will only be temporary
for freedom of thought and speed
can not be stifled in South Carolin
by the Tillman machine any NOR
than 1t can in North Carolina by tn
notorious, foul methods Of tn
Simmons redshirt machine.
