THE DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL
PASSED THE SENATE

bill passed the senate on Friday last
by a vote of 20 to 10.
The vote was taken after a very
able presentation of the measure by
Senator Beard who stated that only
in this way could the rights of the peo-
pie of the state be asserted. He said
that the constitutional amendmnet.
which first gave the negroes the right
of franchise. had never been legally
enacted into law.
Senator Beard succeeded in getting
this same measure through the senate
in 1907 but it was killed when brought
before the house. He made his cam
paign for United States senator on
this platform.

AS TO CLASSES AND MASSES

There seems ever to be a tendency
on the part of small philosophers to
divide humanity up into classes.
We are set down as good or bad,
great or ordinary. bond or free, learn
ed or illiterate, aristocrat or plebian,
handsome or homely, saved or lost.
In addition to these classes. we have
the masses.
The masses are the great undissolv-
ed residuum-the people who go about
their business and neither pray on
street corners nor preach from house
tops.
To them babes are born and head
liners do not screech nor do the wires
flash.
They visit, but the society columns
are not burdened with the names of
their friends.
They die and the bulletins give no
sign.
Yet it might be difficult to find a
man who at the tribunal of his own
heart would confess that he belonged
to the masses.
We talk glibly about giving a help
ing hand to the masses, elevating the
masses. never once admitting that we,
like all others, are but a molecule in
Gods masses.
And a peculiar thing about this is
that the men who talk most about EEL
evating the masses" are often puny lit
tie bow-legged parties who themselves
are merely pensioners on a patient
world.
II there is any better way to help
the masses than by going quietly
about your work and setting a good
example, 1 have not seen it.
Each man thinks his own experience
unique. peculiar. distinctive; he be-
longs to a class. of course, but a very
small and select class. Just as all low
ars are sure that such love as theirs
