| was panoplied with all the rights o.
an American citizen. Then came the
passage of the war amendments, th-
first of which made legal the Emanci
patton Proclamation and prevented
the putting into force of vagrancy
laws passed by the Southern states,
which in effect reduced the Negro u
a condition of bondage.
This legislation had in view the
prohibition of peonage, which had
grown to such enormous proportion
and which iniquity is being stamped
out vigorously by the administration
of President Roosevelt
THE 14th amendment fixed for the
first time in the history of the Am
erican republic the constitutional re-
quirements for civilization and pro-
vided for the penalization of such
states as might undertake to disfran-
chise the race.
THE 18th amendment sought to
make still more secure the Negro's
right to vote and provided for a con-
gressional method of enforcing that
right.
The justification of these war
amendments is to be seen in tie sub
sequent efforts to deprive a Loyal,
faithful class of that which should be
the inalienable right of every citizen,
the right to a free ballot and a fal-
count.
The great men OF that time who
enacted this legislation could not for
get that in war and in peace on sea
or land, where danger most lurked.
where priVation held sway the Negro
had ever been faithful and true. They
realized further that the American re-
public which had been a living contra
diCtiOn in that it stood for liberty
while half slave and half free would
in time find the words Liberty, fra
ternity and equality meaningless,
They realized that you cannot make
man good and great without giving
him real liberty-liberty OF body, mind
and soul, and that republic cannot
be made great until all its citizens
are truly free. In a republic such as
ours whose greatness is alike the won.
der and admiration of the civilized
world, there can be no master and
slave, but the regnancy of an enlighI
ened conscience must operate in the
control of its affairs.

behalf of ten million Negroes in Am
erica that we shall be pleased and
most fortunate to see the people rule.

Against Cigarette Smoking.

The cigarette smoker has been given a severe rebuke by Superin- tendent F. J. Easley of the Rock Island, who has issued the following order:
 It is noticeable that many of our employees are addicted to the habit of smoking cigarettes. This is not desirable, and hereafter any employee caught smoking cigarettes will be dls- missed from service.
 There are probably 2,500 men af- fected by the order. as all the con- ductors. engineers, fireman, brake. men, switchmen, shopmen, section men and bridge crews are under the jurisdiction of Superintendent Eas- ley.
 A Rock Island official says that experience has taught them that g man who habitually smokes cigar cites cannot render as efficient ser. vice as one who abstains from theil use.
 For this reason it has been decided shat "the employees of the company must either give up their cigarettes or their jobs"
 A similar rule has long prevailed among business men, and the yellow spot on the right forefinger ant thumb has cost many young man otherwise competent, position.
