THE FRANCHISE IN VIRGINIA.


vention, which began its work nearl
a year ago, completed it early il
April and adjourned to conven
again on May 22nd for the purpos
either of proclaiming the new or
ganic law or else of submitting it {,
popular vote. It's chief problem wa
solved on April 4th by its adoption
of an article dealing with the suf
frage question. The Virginia plar
adopts a principle that seyera
other States have put into force
known as the understanding clause,
as temporary expedient for short
period-that is to say, until Janu.
ary i, 1904, local registrars may pui
on q permanent roll of voters all
applicants otherwise qualified who
are able either to read or to give a
reasonable" explanation of any sec-
ton Of the new Constitution when
read to them; this in addition to
taxpayers and to old soldiers or
their sons. That the general pur-
pose of this clause is to give an op-
portunity for enrolment to white
voters, while excluding illiterate ne
groes, is not denied by any one. Yet
it does not follow, as many people
assert, that there is anything radi-
cally unfair in this plan. Gener-
ally speaking, the illiterate white
man possesses greater political ca
Pacity than the illiterste negro. The
important part Of measure of this
Kind is not the temporary but the
permanent method that it intro
duces. The permanent plan in Vir-
glnIa is 20 be n yearly poll tax of
$3.50, besides which each applicant
for registration must be able to
write his application clearly and
without assistance in the presence of
the registrar. Quite regardless of
any favoritism that may be shown
to the white voters, the Southern
franchise laws render an excellent
service to the negro race when thay
require from the negro voters either
educational or property qualiiica-
tion, or both. The ballot is of no
value whatever to the negro who is
not tit to exercise it. The existence
of reasonable qualifications as to lit
eracy aud property furnish excellent
incentives to progress, valuable on
all accounts and harmful on none.
The best and wisest friends of the
negro race are not worrying them
selves at all about new Southern
franchise laws. No Southern State
has made provisions which exclude
the negro of intelligence and prop.
erty. The Virginia Constitution
provides for an improved educational
system and advanced methods of
control over railroads and other cor
porations. = Amer7can Monthly Re

"KETcH-AwLs" FROM EyEsywHEs,

"KETcE-AwLs" FROM EvERywHEsE.
1t takes the editor. to make a long
story short.
A writer in the Atlantic -Eauca-
tional Journal has the following to
say of the school facilities in the
South: "The economy that drives
good men from State is the worst
possible extravaganza. Such is the
economy that withholds good schools
from the children and thus forces
the substantial citizens of commu-
nifty to emigrate to other communi-
ties where good schools may be
found"
The Portland Oregonian says: "The
North wants no quarrel with the
South, and it has formed the con-
viction that the South should be
suffered to meet its race problem in
its own way. That is the fact about
this bushes, and grandfather clauses
and fourteenth amendments are
alike negligible. Real things in the
problem are that the South has &C.
cepted the Union and fought fol
the flag side by side with the North
that it accepts the gold standard
and welcomes Pacific expansion. In
return for this It asks its Congress.
sional representation, its electoral
vote and its negro problem to be lei
alone. The concession is something
doubtless, but it is worth while
Sectional bitterness is worth allay-
ing, sectional cordiality worth culti-
vatiDg, on moral, social and trade
considerations. 1t is IA dastardly act
to seek to break in upon the grow
ing friendship between. North and
South"

WHAT FUNSTON MEANT

Simply Desired to Compliment Him on

DENVER, Co., April PA statement
which Gen Fred Funston is said to have
dictated concerning the order of President
Roosevelt directing him TO cease further
discussion of the Philippine question and
expressing regret at Funston's criticism of
a United States senator appears in the Re-

said he had never seen the water cure prac-
ticed or any other methods of torture
asked him what was the physical standing
of a youth of ten years in the Philippines.
His answer was that a ten-year-old lad
would rate with about a fifteen-year-old
boy here. He further informed me that
boys of that age and up 10 twelve could
bear arms greatly TO the disadvantage of
their opponents; that he had seen youths OF
that age and two or three years older
among the insurectos and ladrones cap
tured. and he further said that sometimes
there would be a considerable proportion of
such boys i'm the hostile ranks, a repre-
sented by those who surrendered and those
taken prisoners.
