THE GEORGIA AMENDMENT.

II looks, the way things are going in
the South, as though the Fifteenth
Amendment TO the Federal Constitution
might as well be repealed. We have
seen put in operation the grandfather
clause, the poll tax requirement, the
shotgun argument, and various other
means to disfranchise the negro. and
now "good character" proposition is
brought forward in Georgia. 1t seems
impossible to get case before the u
S. Supreme Court involving the validity
OF such State constitutional clauses as
the grandfather clause, the taxpaying
clause, and other quasi-legal lodges to
disfranchise the negro. 1t is possible
that, through the Oklahoma case involv-
ing the grandfather clause, the case may
come before the L. s. Supreme Court,
and all of those distractions to negro
franchise be swept away. Unless some.
thing of this kind can be done, it is idle
TO keep the Fifteenth Amendment as
part of tho constitution. for uuenforced
VI does more harm than good.
We say this because, under the Four
teenth Amendment, IL representation is
denied TO any Of the male inhabitants
OF any State of voting age and citizens
of the United States, or in any wav
abridged except for crime. 1.-The basis of
Congressional representation in such
State shall be reduced in the proportion
which such male citizens shall
bear to the whole number of
male citizens twenty-one years
of nge in sneh State, That is.
If the Fifteenth Amendment were not
IN the way, whenever the male negroes
of voting age are disfrancbised in any
State. the representation in that State
would be cut down in the same propor
tion that such disfrauchsed male ne
groes bears 10 the total white male vot
ing population OF the State That is.
taking the South as whole. that sec
tion would lose about fifty members n
the lower house of Congress through the
disfranchisemeut Of the negroes under

The bogus check industry is on the
gain; and it is marvellous that it should
be SO; for how does any one pass a
bogus checkl Judging by the rigid
questions asked when an tunknown
presents a check, one would be apt to
think that the passage of bogus
check would be quite impossible.

That is rather an alarming develop
mont to arise in q city which enjoys the
heav on. ordained commission system OF
government It seems that that com
mission form needs to have its opera
tions probed into, and that 1T will o7
necessary to have the citizens thor
oughly informed - as to what is going
on. It has been insisted heretofore
that the commission form of govern
ment was plain, simple, direct, eff
cient; that every citizen was sure TO
know what wns being done, and that
everything would be done for the best
Specifically, we have been assured that
that is the result Of a commission form
in Des Moines.
And now that pleasant dream is nr-
idly dispelled, and we find Bureau or
Municipal Research needed to probe
into municipal affairs and inform the
people of what is going on; and that
back of this bureau is the Greater
Des Moines Committee, which appar-
entity holds itself responsible over and
above the commissioners who nominal
ly govern the city, for what is going
on. 1t is curious outgrowth from
what was supposed TO be q perfect sys~
tenn; and it may be forecast of what
we arc coming to after while in Salt
