Although to the casual observer II would seem
that the Cinnamon in the United States do the
larger part OF the hand laundry WORK, IL IS
fact as shown by the census. that they cOnsti-

clothes. There are $50 $50 people in the United

u 945 work in steam laundries. All told there
are about 10000 Chinese laundrymen. In this
city there altogether $4,000 washerfOIk, of

stones just cropping out of the water. Soaking
the blankets in the water the women spread
them out on the stones and beat them with
the roots Of the cactus until the juice of the
plant is pounded into a sort of suds. Along with
their husbands garments the wives wash their
own, which they have removed at the beginning
of their task Then spreading the clothes on
the bushes the Iaundresses disport themselves
about the river bank until the washing is dry.
In India there are no laundresses. Men called
dhobies do the washing, and because of their
outdoor. active lives their powerful figures con-
trast strongly with the cOnsumptive looking
workers Of some English laundries. The dhObies
go from house to house collecting the bundles
of dirty Clothes and their great strength enables
them to carry many that before they turn
toward the washing pools they appear like huge
animated clothes heaps. However may

with cabalistic code of his own to indicate the
ownership of the respective bundles.
Their collections done, the dhobies pile the
clothes in long stone trough, where they soak
them in water mixed with bit of their native
soap a product which white man would
call putty. A long rod is placed above the
trough just high enough to touch a mans
waist when he stands in the great long tub
Taking hold of the pole, the washermen jump
into the trough and tread on the clothes until the
water which is being dshed in and out con-

WORLDS LAUNDRY WORK.
Hoe 1t Is Done in Different Places
by FLASHER Women and Men.

The Fourteenth Amendment.

Colonel John s. A1osby has addressed
a communication to the shington Post,
III which he discusses the Fourteenth
ton to each other. He points out that the
Fourteenth Amendments, adopted in 1865,
declares that WHOM the right Of any cit-
zen in any State to vote Is denied or
abridged, the basis OF representation
therein shall be reduced in the proportion
which the number OF such male citizens
shall bear TO the whole number of male
citizens twenty-one years OF age IN such
States."5 But, he goes on to say, the F!f-
tecnth Amendment adopted in 1910, re-
stored the original constitutional basis
of national representation. and mado it
of any citizen to vote on account of race,
color or previous condition of scrvitude.
This provision of tho Fifteenth Amend
ment, Colonel Mosby concludes, being
clearly epugnant to the clause of the
Fourteenth Amendment on the same sub
icct and, adopted subsequent To 1t, an.
nuls It, as the Thirteenth Amendment
annuls tho clause FOR surrendering lusl-
tive slaves; and hence no State has n
constitutional right to abridge suffrage
on account Of race or color, nor has Con-
gress q constitutional right to reduce
States representation for having done
It, This question was ably discussed
year or so ago by NJ, Charles A, Gard
,,ier, prominent lawyer Of New York,
who took the same view as that now pre-
scented by Colonel Mosby. Mr.. Gardniers
argument seems to be unanswerablc. but
tho doctrine as cxpounded by him and
Colonel Mosby Is not generally accepted,
and tho question should be taken to the
court. A test case should be made up, IL
practicable and ile supreme Court of the
United states should be asked to decide
and dispose of the question definitely and
forever.

An Imperative Need.

An Associated Press dispatch from Ar-
gista says that there Is mitch excitement
and in,icli talk over securing what Is
said to be positive evidence Of u Before
Day Club iii Clarke connty, Gu, and
that the sheriff Is in readiness to serve
warrants against the negroes implicated
..The names of the alleged negroes Of the
club are already known. They arc MI
farm hands and live on the plantations
OF six well-to-do farmers who Dire mark
ed for slaughter. The aim Of tho nc
groes Is said to have been to walt until
some cotton had been sold by the FARM
crs and then Kill the men and rob them
and burr their homes. Peace warrants
will probably ne Issued for the negroes
implicated"
This brings again to tho front the
question which We have lately been dis
cussing, of having better police protec-
ton In the rural districts Of the South
we do not indict the whole negro race,
but there are many bad negroes through
out the South and the number seems to
be growing instead of diminishing. Wien
these negroes commit Density and savage
crimes, the whites are so indignant that
they frequently resort to lynch law In
Furnishing the offenders; and SO it Is
I that bad matter is made worse. The
South Is suffering to-day both from the
crimes Of bad negroes and from the law
lcssness among the whites which such
crimes provoke.
It may be mentioned here, by the way,
that 1t Is believed In Mississippi that the
wrong negro was burned at the stake at
Gllpor;l last June the mob in It's excite
nicnt having made n terrible mistake In
the identity OF the criminal. Whether or
no this be true. the fnct is5thnt this af-
fair ana the more recent affair III Geo
gin ana other such lynchngs have done
the South incalculable harm nnd have
seriously injured the Democratic party.
The Republicans are pointing the finger
OF scorn at the Democrats calling atten-
ton to these acts of lawlessness and de-
clarlng that they are fair samples of the
Democratic rule. Is !
III point of fact the Southern people
have shown n genius for government
as perhaps no other people in the world
have shown. 1t is manifestly unjust for
the whole South to be held responsible
for the lawlcss acts in q few sections.
But the whole South is held responsible
ana it ID very hard for the Southern
people to meet the arguments which their
enemies at the North are making against
them.
we arc face to face With a most seri-
GUS situation, and we must in SOME way
find remedy. we cannot ds. civ
illzed people, permit these ba1harous
acts to continue, yet we cannot allow
brutal negroes to ply their trade. We
