HOW ABOUT IT?

You vowed to be cheerful.
The test is to come.
Are you smiling this morning
Or moody and glum?
You vowed you'd endeavor
To spread smiles around.
What was it-cold coffee?

You vowed to be patient.

Had she used your razor
To rip up u dress?
You vowed to be pleasant
To all YOU would meet.
What. She didn't say Thanks"
When YOU gave up your seat?
You vowed you'd oblige.

That our good resolves end!

THE same thing may be said of
the third and fourth classes, which
includes foreign born citizens of the
United States naturalized between
Jan. 1, 1869, and the date of the adop-
ton of the proposed section, and the
male descendants of such mentioned
persons. This is in order to exempt
such immigrants and their descend
ants OF such mentioned persons. This
is in order to exempt such immi-
grants and their descendants from ed
ucational or property qualifications.
Now. we know the first four class.
es include no Negroes at all. In other
words, it is intended to free the
whites from educational or property
qualifications, but to subject all Ne
groes to them
The whole law ought to be con-
demned. 1t is not drawn in the spirit
OF justice and equality, having regard
for the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, and I sincerely hope
that no Republican who desires equal
ity OF treatment to the black and
white races will vote for it. Sincerely

that is justly due their children, this
alone will not provide for the educa-
ton of their children. Even the white
children in the South are not receiv-
ing enough money to properly educate
them from the public fund. In some
way each community must organize
effort to tax itself and keep taxing
itself until each community has a
good schoolhouse and school term
lasting from six to eight months in
each year, taught by qualified teach
ers.
I speak to our people now on this
subject that they may begin organic
ing and that they may raise money
this fall while our people have it.
Now is the time to act. Do not delay
another day. This is the season of
the year when our people are hand
ling considerable cash as result of
the sale of their crops. This is also
the season of the year when they arr
tempted to throw away thousands Of
dollars in unwise directions. I urge
you to use some of the money this
fall that you would throw away In
providing for the proper education of
your children. We must, as a race,
learn to make sacrifices. It is better
that we go without proper clothing,
that we go hungry, live ,on bread
and water even if necessary, rather
than neglect the education of our
children. Let each person, teacher or
minister, who reads these words, be-
gin at once and stir the people to
action in his immediate county.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1909.

A great movement has been inau-
gurated in Cleveland, Ohio, in which
several thousands have pledged them
selves to live for two weeks as Jesus
would. We would like to see the
movement extended to other parts Of
the country, including the localities
now cursed by the presence of Varda-
man, Tillman, Dixon, ct al. 1t might
also be further extended to the north
ern states, where so-called christian
Associations are excluding their broth
ers in black" from the benefits of
these associations solely on the
ground of color. True Christianity
knows no nationality or color; all
are alike children of the one Father
who is no respecter of persons and
who says: In as much as We have
done it unto one of these, We have
done it unto me-" Christ also said:
Il came not to save the righteous, but
to bring sinners to repentance Christ
was not of the 81 am holier than
thou class. He did not derive his

Upon it cannot be delayed or omitted

trip through the state of Maryland I
was surprised to find, for example,
that there were rural communities al
most within sight of the dome of the
Capitol of the Nation where the public
schools for our race are only open
from two to two and one7half months
during the year.
Taking the Southern States as a
whole, it is safe to say that the coun-
try schools are not in session au pes
ent longer than four or five months
out OF the twelve. When we add to
this condition, in most cases, poor
schoolhouses or no schoolhouses, little
apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it
is clear that this is a condition de-
handing the immediate and constant
attention of parents, ministers, teach
ers and leaders. of every description.
The facilities for public school educa-
ton In the cities and larger towns
are good for the most part, but know
OF counties where Afro-American
teachers are paid not more than SIS
per month, and out of this they must
board themselves. This means prac.
tically no school, for teacher worth
more cannot live on such a wage.
In order to impress our people with
the truth of how far we are behind
and with what remains to be done,
let me make a comparisons: Two
years ago each child in the state of
Massachusetts had spent upon him as
per school population, in the free pub.
lie schools $26.42, while taking the
South as a whole for the same year
each Afro-American child had spent
upon him as per school population
from so cents to $3.50 in the different
Southern States. At such rate, does
any one believe that we can educate
our children? Ignorance will grow
denser, and crime, lawlessness and in
efficiency will increase. Something
. must be done and that speedily.
What is the remedy? Let parents
and leaders get into close and sym
pathetic touch with the local anC
county and state officials and make
known the condition and the needs
of the children. If one effort does
not succeed, make another and an
other. You, yourselves, must make
your wants known, no one can or will
do it for you. We must in firm, con
servative and yet polite manner in
sist upon our proper share of the pub

BEREA COLLEGE

- 81. ~
And the coeducation for the Races.
Berea College is an institution char.
tered IN Kentucky for the education
OF the white and black races alike It
dates from the period of the Civil
war and it seems that for more than
generation children of both races
studied there together, side by side.
But in 1904 the legislature Of Ken
lucky passed a statute forbidding the
coeducatlon of the black children and
white children. The supreme court
OF the United States has recently af-
hrmed the validity of this statute as
applied to Berea College. The court
found it unnecessary to pass upon the
broad question of it's applicability to
individuals, but upheld it as against
corporation of the state of Ken
lucky, under the reserved power to
alter or amend corporate charters.
The'court, Mr.. Justice Brewer writing
the opinion, brushes aside the sug-
gestion that the statute must be val
ID IN every aspect or must fail alto
gether. There is no force" it. is
said, in the suggestion that the stat
ute, although clearly separable, must
stand or fall as an entirety on the
ground that the legislature would not
have enacted one part unless it could
reach all. That the legislature of
Kentucky decided to separate the
teaching of white and colored chill
dren may be conceded, but it by no
means follows that it would not have
enforced the separation 80 far as it
could do so, even though it could not
make it effective under all circum-
stances. In other words, it is not at
all unreasonable to believe that the
legislature, although advised before
hand of the constitutional question,
might have prohibited all organiza.
lions and corporations under it's con.
troll from teaching white and colored
children together, and thus made at
least uniform official action"
Regarding the actual question upon
"nlch the opinion is based, it is said
1T is undoubtedly true that the
reserved power to alter or amend is
subject to some limitations and thai
under the guise of an amendment 2
| new contract may not always be en-
torceable upon the corporation or the
stockholders; but it is settled thai
power reserved to the legislature tt
after, amend, or repeal a charter au
thorizes it to make any alteration OF

Ject to it, which will not defeat OF
substantially impair the object of the
grant, or any rights vested under it

and which the legislature may deem
necessary to secure either that object
or any public right. We need
quiry whether the first section of the
Kentucky law can be upheld as com
ing within the power of state over
it's own corporate creatures. We are
of the opinion that it does come
within that power"
The decision seems less extreme
than the case Of Security Nut. Life
ms. Co. v. Prewitt, 2O2 U. S. 246,
which held that a state might in
pursuance of statute forfeit the char
ter of "a foreign insurance company
for removing a case from the state
courts to a United States court. For
eign and domestic corporations are in
respect to the states power over
them subject to the same limitations.
Orient ms. Co. v. Daggs, 172 U. s..
557.
Mr.. Justice Harlan, with whom Mr..
Justice Day concurs, files vigorous
dissent, insisting that the statute
must stand or fall as an entirety, and
must decide is whether it is a crime
under any circumstances to educate
white children and Negro children
under the same roof" Regarding that
as the question, he proceeds to state
some rather startling consequences
which in his Judgment follow from
the decision, and which of course his
associates are as far as he from sane
tioning. IF the lower court be right"
he says, then a state may make it
crime for white and colored persons
to frequent the same market places
at the same time, or appear in an as
semblage of citizens convened to con
slider questions of public or political
nature in which all citizens, without
regard to race, are equally interested.
Many other illustrations might be Civ
en- to show the mischievous, not to say
cruel, character of the statute in ques-
ton, and how inconsistent such legis-
lation is with the great principle of
the equality of citizens before the
law. Law Notes. Northport, N. Y.
