DEMOCRATS PASS RACE ORDI-
NANCE IN THE FIRST
BRANCH OF THE
CITY COUNCIL.

Messrs. BinswangeT, Ulrich and Cum
nings Make Speeches Against the
Measure-Its Constitutionality Al
tacked-Forceful Argument IS Ad-
vanced by Councilman Cummings.
BALTIMORE, Md.
Special to The Bee.
The race segregation ordinance
passed the First Branch Of the City
Council recently by vote OF 10 TO s.
Messrs BlnSwanger, UIrlch and Cun-
mings were the only ones to make
speeches against the measure. There
were no speeches IN its favor, the
Democrats having agreed to stand to-
gether in putting 1t through the Coun-
Gil
Mr.. Cummings and Mr.. Ulrich made
their speeches before the voting start
ed Mr.. Binswanger had his say
when his name was called. All de-
clared the ordinance to be uncOnstI-
tutional. Mr.. Ulrich challenged any
friend of the measure to say that IN
voting for its passage he was not vlo-
Iating his oath as a member of the
CITY Council, which oath declared that
he would support the Constitution OF
fhe United States. This ordinance
IS so plainly and clearly viOlative OF
the principles Of the Constitution as
to need no argument in that respect,
said Mr.. Ulrich. He declared that
the ordinance would never be en-
forced, and referred to a number of
instances in which laws on the statute
books are not carried out.
Mr.. Binswanger said the passage OF
the ordinance would be a step back
ward in the city, as we'll as In the
State. In his argument declaring the
measure unconstitutional Mr.. Bins
wanger drew attention to the fact that
on the advice of Attorney General
Straus, Gov. CrOthers vetoed bill
passed by the General Assembly pro-
viding for the segregation Of the races
in Crisheld Nd. The Attorney Cen
eral held that the act was unconstitu-
tional.
Continuing his argument, Mr.. Bins
wanger said the ordinance was unfair
as we'll as unconstitutional, because
the majority OF the residents OF Bal
timore are white people. There IS
no such thing as race supremacy IN
Baltimore" said the Fourteenth ward
representative. He declared that et-
forts should be made to educate and
uplift the ColOred race, and that the
colored people should be given NOR
al support in their endeavCrs to bet
Ter their condition.

Suggested by the Dedication of the
Langston School.
John Mercer Langston.

The Ieaden sky of slavery covered all,
ShrOuding the Negro race as with a
pail,
When first he caught, with infant eyes,
the ray
Of what to others was the glorious
day.
That ray showed his race bound in
chains of might,
Their sky like lead, their day but
blackened night.
A child, not his to play in blithsome
Joy,
With thought no farther thana the
fragile toy;
For soon to dire conditions wakes
his soul,
Views, feels, deplores and compre-
hends the whole.
Hence, while light pleasures all his
mates employ,
Wisdom beyond his years has marked
the boy.
In days of old Moses, the child, was
given
To be the means through which his
chains were riven;
Samuel was early Lent unto the
Lord"
And from his youth his mind was
richly stored.
In anguish this boy his peoples trials
sees,
And asks for them Gods aid on bend
ed knees.
Behold on Alpine heights yon mann
moth rock,
Whose beetling brows both time and
glaciers mock,
Nor yields these thousand years to
snow or rain,
Yet by some hardy tree stands cleft
in twain!
Just So undaunted by Times rocklike
frOwn,
LangstOn cleaves the rock and dons
manhood's gown.
He measures the full stature of man
Built in fashion of Gods most noble
plan.
An earnest, thoughtful soul lends to
his face
A power near sublime, a lofty grace,
Eyes which beam in kindness or flash
in ire
Should right assuage or wrong arouse
their fire.
A student, he, of books, affairs and
men,
Few things escaped his vigil search or
ken;
Well versed in law, diplomacy and
arts,
He grows in power, a fulI-hedgel
"man of parts"
Like some well-tuned harp, language
he controls,
Golden is the strain as from his
tongue it rolls.

Oft in "slavery's reign" did his voice
arise,
Terrify the monster and melt the
Bid fair Columbia from her sleep
awake,
And cause the tyrant for his realm to
quake
Nor with sentiment, only, does he
pause,
His text, "The Constitution and its
laws"
When Union heroes" flung the mon
ster down,
Placed on Columbia's brow tn un-
tarnished crown
Of liberty, which blesses us this hour
Our Langston, too, was there tc
swell her power.
His clarion voice helped rouse the
force which wont
Though victory crowned the right
yet is his work not done.
For all around he looks and finds his
race,
With Freedoms sun full beaming in
their face,
Dazzled, bewildered, wandering in
that light
Oft prayed for, yet ne'er seen mid
slavery's night;
Then, like a man who views his ripen-
ed grain,
More Jealous works, nor is his work
in vain.
His voice again now stirs the Nation
heart,
Which, quick responding, gives his
race a start.
In by-paths, hills and valleys anvils
ring;
In tent and cot the studying free
men sing:
Anon the Negro schoolhouse decks
the land,
Where human heshmen" erstwhile
held their stand.
Nor stops lie vet, his race-love never
tires;
He fans into a fame ambitions fires
Wisdom like molten gold falls from
his tongue,
Quickens the old, inspires to work the
young.
Such aid, such hope to young folks
does he lend,
That the whole race halls him "The
young mans friendl"
No token more fit could his worth
proclaim
Than this, that what he strove for
bears his name;
No verse OF mine can justly sing the
lay
Of him whom some late Homer will
portray.
Ever will his race love this brilliant
son
And point with pride to John Mercer
LangstOn.

answered. They have lived close to ma
ture and they have studied it. Their book
learning hasn't suffered either for they
are just as well advanced in their studies
find, as the average city child of their
age. Their kindergarten course was OBJ
tanned in the ranch corral. Horses, dogs
wolf and bear cubs were their playmates
from infancy and their knowledge of the

mails is intimate as my own, and 1 have
been studying them forty-five years"
What are you going to make out OF
your boys?" the captain was asked.
Its Up TO the Boys.
That's for them to decide. Each shall
have a college education. Harvard will be
their alma mater unless they suffer a change
of heart. You know they fairly worship
Colonel Roosevelt and he is a Harvard
man. Anything the colonel does, or has
done, is perfectly alright in their eyes, for
next to their daddy he is the greatest
man in the world.
Colonel Roosevelt believes he Is q

continued, but my boys can give him
cards and spades and beat him out. Temple
was just years old when he went on his
first wolf hunt"
How are you going to amuse your boy,

why, they are going to amuse me. They
have much to see here and they will want
TO see ii all. OF course, many plans have
