TAFT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN.


The confirmation of William H. Lew
is OF Massachusetts, as Assistant At
torney General of the United States,
marks a new era in race progress. It
is positive advance over anything in
the line of political appointments ever
made by Republican President
In his inaugural address President
Taft said: ...
"The Negroes are now Americans.
Their ancestors came here years ago
against their will, and this is their
only country and their only flag"
ANY recognition of distinguished
Negroes, any appointment to office
from among their number, is properly
taken as an encouragement and an
appreciation of their progress, and this
just policy shall be pursued"
President Taft has appointed other
Afro-Americans to good places in the
government service, but the import
ance of the Lewis appointment lies in
the fact that it is a higher place thar
has ever before been given to one Of
the race.
An Assistant Attorney General out
ranks many high officials and the Afro
American people are pleased to know
that they have representative of the
race so near in rank to Cabinet of
ficer.

A short time ago it was published
in the daily press with evident pleas
ure that Champion Jack Johnson was
getting a little hard up for cash. The
latest, however, comes from London,
where he has gone to witness the
coronation Of King George V, and it
is said he spent $4,000 in six days, in
Guiding $4,000 for diamond and pearl
necklace for his wife and $4,000 for
a motor car with gold interior fittings.
He also has secured seats in one of
the most fashionable stands on Plea

like he is on the verge of bankruptcy.

GRANDFATHER CLAUSE VOID,

Judge John H. Cotteral of the United
States District Court at Oklahoma
City, Okla, has overruled the demur
rer of defendants in the case of the
United States against four election
officers, holding the grandfather
clause amendment to the state con.
stitution invalid, because it is in VIC
lation of the Fifteenth amendment to
the Federal Constitution.
The power to grant the right to
vote, the Court held, was not given to
the Federal Government, but the
Fifteenth Amendment decreed that the
right to vote should not be denied any
person because of race, color or pre-
vious condition of servitude''
To make the subsection of certain
individuals to the educational test"
dependent on their condition before
1866 would make it dependent on their
race and color, the Court held.
The grandfather clause exempts
from the "educational test those
whose ancestors were entitled to vote
On January 1, 1856, or were residents
Of a foreign country. Under this clause
were denied the right
TO vote.

dramatic debate resulted. Broadly,
the supporters of the clause, promi.

it followed the principle laid down in
the Act of Union. The clause was
denounced with passionate earnest,
ness in notably eloquent speeches by
Mr.. Merriman, Mr.. Quinn, Mr.. Theo

The clause was defended in a rather
notable speech by General Hertzog
