WAS AN ERROR TO GIVE THE
BALLOT TO THE NEGRO

New Haven, April 22.-That the
north was in error in giving the merge
the ballot when it did, was the opin-
ion given by President Hadley of
Yale last night in his lecture in the
Dodge course on "Citizesnhip.
President Hadley said of the award
of-the ballot to the negro:
sit was not the fault of the merge !;
1t was the fault of those who gave
him the ballot without previous pre-
paration. The same thing was true
in Italy before that, and in Russia.
The north did not recognize this at
the close of the war. They had recog-
nized the dictim that all men are
born free and equal. When the north
recognized the condition which pre-
vailed in the south it acquiesced in
the suppression of the negro vote.
The fact that the negro vote was re-
stricted showed that it was inevitable.
I shall not attempt to predict the out
come, but one thing should be said:
THE error of those who said'thirt,
years ago that the negro could be givel
the ballot before he was prepared TO
it, was no greater than that of thos
of today who think that those right
can be withheld from him after h
has developed and is ready for them.

of his teeth are missing.
The little girl is in even worse con-
dition. On the instep of her right foot
is a wound, caused, it is said, by
the application of a glowing poker.
Portions of her stocking had been
burned into the flesh. Four fresh
scars are on her left leg and there is a
deep scab wound in the top of her
head.
The humane society charges that
Earl inflicted the injuries. as punish
ment because the children refused to
perform acrobatic feats, which be had
endeavored to teach them. The wound
on the little girls head was caused by
her falling from a trapeze.
Earl and his wife travel as perform
ers with patent medicine shows. Re-
Gently they took the children from an
orphan school for adoption and when
one of the officers of the institution
called to see how the children were
getting along the discovery of their
condition was made.
