AMENDMENT NO. II

ure. 1t does not really take away
the right of the negro to vote, pro-
viding only that he shall have a
certain standard of intelligence be-
fore he shall become all elector.
However, for all practical purposes
the Grandfather Clause" really is
the very thing it cannot really be
declared to be. The average negro
knows about as much of the con-
stitution of Arkansas as he knows
of the Dutch language. And ne
cares nothing about it.
The Record favors the adoption
of Amendment No. II, not on the
narrow ground that because his
skin is black the negro should be
denied the ballot, but on the broad
er ground that the illiterate negro
is not a qualified voter except in
the sense that the law has given
him the right to vote. We favor
the adoption of this amendment
because, although the illiterate ne
gro has the right to vote; although
he attends the polls, and although
a ticket is placed in the ballot box
supposed to be his, THE litter
ATE NEGRO DOES NOT ACTUAL
LY VOTE. The ballot for the ne
gro is a farce. The average negro
is not a voter. He is merely a
plant tool in the hands of whoever
controls him. The illiterate negro
exerts no other influence in politics
or in elections than as disturbing
element, and the ignorance of the
negro voter is responsible for some
of the r0ttenest and most corrupt
deals of politics. So long as the
negro vote of any community where
neeros are thick remains a pur-
chasable quantity, to be had for a
little money or little whiskey,
the community need expect moth
ing but domination by the negro
vote in the selection of officers and
in local government through the
manipulation of those who make it
a business to round up the negro
vote on election day. The negro
vote is a political asset in the hands
of those who control that vote. The
fact that if often thwarts the will of
honest and intelligent citizenship is
a disgrace to the American privi-
lege of free ballot and prevents the
ballot from becoming free and
intelligent expression of public sem
timent, The negro should have no
place in politics if his only business
there is to corrupt And the negro
vote does corrupt every ballot box
to which 1t is driven by the corrup-
zionist, The end it serves Is the re-
suit the most respectable class of
white citizenship is attempting to
avoid.

PAS Medicine
(Harper's Monthly,)

One time when was sick in bed
And pa stayed home with me all day.
noticed that his eyes were red,
And everything that he would say
Was soft and trembly, and he'd stand
Beside me there and hold my hand
And look down at me kind OF sad>
And suddenly it seemed as tho
He had forgot or didn't know
That had ever acted bad.
And when the doctor came to call
And looked at me little while.
Pa whispered to him in the hall,
And pretty soon commenced to smile
And then he got rockin chair
And stayed with me and stroked my hair
And patted me upon the cheek,
And when ma brought my broth for me
Pa kissed her. and both seemed to be
So happy they could hardly speak.
He made up lots Of funny rhymes
And kept the day from seemin long,
He told me of the high old times
We'd have when got well and strong,
He drew lot Of pictures, too
All funny-and first thing knew,
Why, forgot that was sick,
And when the doctor came that night
He said I'd get along all right
Pas medicine had done the trick
never knew before that day
How good and kind pa had;
He seemed to know of every way
There was to make person glad.
He told me of the times when he
Was just little boy like me
And sometimes made his pa complain; =,
almost wish I'd nearly die
Some other time, that way, so
Could take pas medicine again,

Folty-two years of political equal
ity for the negro have been q dis
nal failure, Having the ballot
thrust into his hands when he was
incompetent to receive 1t, the negro
has made no progress in qualifying
himself for the duties of citizenship
An occasional instance of laud-
able progress In mental develop
ment in black man or woman
fails to conceal the fact that the
masses of the race are degeneratinG.
The negro, as a race Is not advan-
cling In any quality that constitutes
the true citizen His ambitions are
fixed lowly, and his fondest hopes
do not rise above the actual days
necessities and the revelries of the
night, Does he build churches and
schoolsY Does he want themY
Where Is his support of public en-
terprises and the burdens of gov-
ernmentY Where Is his patriotismY
Where is he found when principle
Is at stalker When was his voice
raised In protest against d WrongY
With no knowledge of government,
and no concern about it, why
should the illiterate negro partici-
pate in forming the policies of gov
ernmentY If the negro Is to be a
citizen he should be a citizen In
something else besides mere name.
