VIRGINIA AND PENNSYLVANIA
DEBATE.

In "a Joint debate, held several days
ago. between the debating clubs OF
the University of Virginia and the
University of Pennsy lvania, the posi-
tions which should have been logic.
ally occupied by the respective de
batting teams on the question dis
cussed we're reversed, she Pennsyl'
vania team taking the affirmative
and the Virginia team tue negative
of the question as 20 whether the
10Th Amendment of the Federal Con-
stitution should be repealed. The
Pennsylvanians, however, based their
argument for the repeal OF the
Amendment upon she ground that IL
was utterly disregarded in she South,
and that a law which was evaded
and violated as the 10th Amend
ment had been should be repealed.
There is really no question about
she fact, looking at the matter from
an impartial standpOint, that the
enactment of the 18th Amendment
was a colossal blunder, and thas Is
would tend so Obliterate sectional
and racial strife to repeal it now, but
the ground upon which its repeal was
urged by the Pennsylvania debaters
is not tenable. First, because under
present conditions in the South the
10Th Amendment is not violated, and
it has been so held, more than once,
by the Supreme Court OF she United
States: and 2nd, the Pennsylvanians
drew their conclusions, according so
their own statements, from data fur
nished by Jno. S. Wise and Park Ag-
new, and actually charged upon evil
dence adduced from the statements
OF these men that the negroes in Viz
ginia we're wholly disfranchised, and
that there was not a single negro
vote returned in the recent Presiden-
tial election from the whole OF the 4th
Congressional District OF Virginia.
This fragrant misstatement OF she
facts can, no doubt, be traced to Vir-
ginia's recreant son, JnO. S. Wise,
but it seems strange that the Nir-
ginia debaters failed to deny she
charge and prove it's falsity. From
practical standpoint, the South
cares very little whether the 10Th
Amendment is repealed or not. A
proper and legal method OF meeting
and dealing with it has been found
and put into effect. The only argu'
ment for it's repeal, therefore, which
appeals to she South, is that it Is
greatly DESTROYS of sectional and rae
ial peace, and it believes that the re-
peal of the 10Th Amendment would
have tendency to bring about this
much-to- be-desired contamination.
