this branch of our schools is badly in
need Of suitable quarters.
1t ought to be plain to any sensible
person that if negro children want
training in hand labor, they ought to
have it. Some people say that they
ought to be compelled to take It
whether they want to or not. But
until accommodations are furnished
for all who want such training there
is no sense in talking OF anything
compulsory.
1t should also be easy for anybody
&c see that training which will enable
these children to earn their own liv-

or calling, will be worth more than il

the law. ali nominations made at ordi-

open all day. There seems 10 be one
very weak point In the law-when \
voter goes into the booth he must desig-
nate whether he wishes to use a Repub-
lican. Democratic or Socialist ballot. The
preference is recorded by the clerk. and.
If the voter wishes to change his party
the following year. ne is obliged to give
notice of the fact 10 the election COM
missioners at least ninety days prior to
the next primary election
This provision is no doubt an effective
safeguard against the packing of eau
cuses by thugs and heelers where there
are strong contests. but it fails in that
it requires the voter to declare how he
is going to vote, and in every precinct
there were the stoutest objections 10
this invasion OF the voters right. and
in many instances voters decided to
lose their votes rather than disclose
their party Affiliations. The constitu-
tionality of this feature Of the law will
undoubtedly be tested in the courts.
The joint caucuses were "for the direct
nomination" OF State senators. Repre-
sentatives. members Of the State Cen
trail committee, and the like. The in
terest in the election was slight, and
the primary vote was rather small. but
the law seems TO have worked we'll ex-
cept in forcing voters to declare their

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The proposal made from time to time
for the reduction OF the Congressional
representation Of the South because OF
the Acknowledgement OF the negro seems
to have been given fits quietus in the
now repeal OF the Fifteenth Amend
ment OF nothing. and as any change
Of the Federal Constitution is so difficult
of accomplishment, the question may be
said TO be dead. According TO the
Fourteenth Amendment, any State which
denies. 10 any Of its adult male citizens
the right to vote shall have its repre-
sentstion in the House reduced In the
proportion that the number Of excluded
citizens bears to the total male citizens
over twenty-one years Of age. This was
the penalty for exclusion of the negro
vote by Southern States. but the Fiji
teenth Amendment. adopted later, says
plainlx:
1.-The right OF citizens OF the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States OF BY any
state on account OF race. color or previ-
Gus condition of servitude'-
The pertinent question has been rails
ed, How, under the Fourteenth Amend
ment, can the Government permit the
exclusion, even IL the representation
shall be reduced. and thus recognize the
right of the Southern States 10 do an act
which the following amendment abso-
lutely prohibits. Does not the Fifteenth
Amendment supersede that part Of the
Fourteenth Amendment which touches
on the subject. and would 81 not be IN
constitutional to proceed even to penal
ize State for doing a thing and permit
II TO do 1t. when another part OF the
Constitution prohibits it7 The PROPOSE
ton 10 reduce representation because Of
the exclusion OF the negro vote seems 10
be Of very doubtful constitutionalty. and
it certainly is not feasible in the pres
ent state OF public sentiment North and
