THROWS UP THE SPONGE.

The Richmond News-Leader calls
attention to the fact shat even the
Springfield Republican has been at
last awakened to a real cation of
the fact that the fourteenth and If
teenth amendments are defunct
The decisio nof the supreme court
In the Berea college case Is what
accomplished the awakening. Deal
ing separately with the fourteenth
amendment, the Republican says:
So far as the negro race is con-
cerned, II (the amendment) has ev.
identity ceased to have vital. ~, and
the Republican party accepts he
iact, notwithstanding It's declara-
lions in the national platform of
1908" Then discussing the two
amendments jointly our contempo-
rary continues: I'm the success on
OF decisions along rigidly techn cal
lines may be seen the process OF ju-
dicial construction by which the Uni
ted States supreme court has rtu-
ally MADE dead letter OF the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments
The Republ can party's acceptance,
the Republ can gives us 70 under
stand, is In Mr. Roosevelt's letter
repudiating the suggestion OF rsduc-
ton OF southern representation in
congress by reason of the south's
course touching negro suffrage. II
Is perfectly clear from that letter, q
argues. that the executive depart
ment OF the government, which is
entirely under Republican domino
ton, acquiesces in the process OF

One of the most extravagant rela-

Speaking of the sights he beheld when
transported to heaven" he says: 81
saw there an angel, the most gigantic
of all created things. 1t had 10000
heads, each head had 10000 faces, each
| face had 10000 mouths, each mouth
had 10000 tongues and each tongue
spoke 10000 languages. All were en-
ployed In singing Gods praises"
When Mohammed first announced
his divinely inspired and appointed
system the Arabs demanded super
natural proofs of his commission.
