The remedy for these violations OF
the spirit 81 the Constitution is plain
and ADEQUATE. Under section 2 OF the
Fourteenth Amendment Congress is
given power to reduce the representa-.
ton IN Congress and in the electoral
college OF any state which deliberately
disfranchises any portion Of It's male
citizens over twenty-one years OF age.
The provision ls so definite and plain
as TO leave no doubt concerning the
powers Of Congress in this direction. II
The Southern States continue to dis
franchise large portions of their citl'
gens in the interest OF party supremacy,
Congress should not hesitate 90 apply
the remedy provided by the Constitu-

took place few years ago. he had
lent $4,000 to an East Texas merchant
on security which appeared to be ample,
One-half Of the loan had been repaid
when the merchant failed. His affairs

for the creditors. More as matter OF

be OF any value, Col. Moody got Judg-

count as one which should properly be
charged to profit and loss. A popularity
about profit and loss accounts is that
nearly all such charge or entries are for
losses, and few are ever records or
profit.
But this case was an exception. The
merchant who had failed had an enemy
who knew more about the merchants
affairs than was good for the merchant
This man communicated with Col. Moody,
and the information he gave was of so
much interest that Col Moody sent at
once for his lawyer. The information
was to the effect that the merchant
owned Isl, 900 acres Of land in West
Texas.
Investigation showed that this informa-
ton was correct. The Judgment was
possession of the land. This brought on
a long, tiresone legal fight, but the court
of last resort decided the case in favor
of Col. Moody, and he got the title
to the 1S1, go acres.
