"The Greatest Of These-Charity"
by PERCY CLARK

respect The aged or advanced In life
individuals who have an honorable pride;
some of them have known days of social
rank, prosperity and influence. Alas, for
some the waters have been diverted-"the
mills do not grind with the waters that
are pasti'' These are sometimes persuad-
ed to come to the house of healing the
free dispensary. .
Some of the most deserving of sympa-
thy are the strangers within our gates.
Not necessarily beggars, and tramps but
more often unfortunates, perhaps the VIC
Tins of bad luck or the sudden visit of
illness or disease overtaking them in a
strange city, without money and with
out friends. Sometimes these unfor-
tunates have found shelter and modest
creature comforts In some other of Bir-
minghams charity institutions.
If one can steel his nerves and his SYM

Caring for Nations Wards
1t is true that many negroes are seek
ing treat tment, some perhaps who, meas
ured by the moral and legal standards,
do not deserve it from this charity. But
what is a charity that looks into the lives
or the amlcted ana suHeflng, or the dis
eased?
We may be due something more than
the drachms of charity to the negro race
here in the south. In the reordering of
our social and political affairs it became
necessary to deprive the major portion of
the negro race of the ballot. 1t is true
we tax ourselves for his education, but
we do that for the illiterate white for
eign element and more-we permit their
children to associate with equal privileges
with our own children in the school rooms
and make their way easy to the ballot
box quite often.
And so, whether we will openly acknowl-
edge the obligations or not, we are In a
measure the keeper of the morals and
health Of ''our brothers in black We
may, in part, discharge this obligation by
giving to the free dispensary.
The free dispensary Is, or may become,
the safeguard to our homes and our chill

Would Mean Complete Defeat

This would mean complete defeat of the
effort to secure immediate congressional
approval for various important and val
liable concessions understood to have been
recommended by the Huerta regime.
Meanwhile the failure of Congress to eff
feet even preliminary organization in
both branches, delays the execution of SO
much of the programme of President
Wilson as was to be put in operation as
soon as the body was in full legislative
action. No one outside of the Presi-
dents council chamber is yet aware of
the nature of the programme, but it is
said that through the whole course of
events the American attitude practically
will be shaped by circumstances as they
arise

HOLD CONGRESS HAS.
POWER TO REGULATE.
SENATE ELECTIONS.
Subcommittee Prepares Bill
To Do Away With Entan-
clements Over Seating
of Senators

Washington, November 16.-.(special)
The Senate committee on privileges and
elections Is preparing to iron out the
difficulties that have been encountered in
the application of the constitutional
amendment providing for the election of
senators by direct popular vote.
To that end a bill is now being drafted
by a subcommittee and will be presented
to the Senate at the forthcoming regu-
lar session. Its enactment will put an
end to such entanglements as have arisen
over the Alabama and Maryland cases.
The subcommittee which now has the
problem under consideration, takes the.
view that Congress has authority toi
regulate the time, manner and places of
holding senatorial elections, exercising a
supervisory power similar to that 1t
holds in the election of representatives
The fact that 1t does possess this au-
thority is due to the Bristow-S Sutherland
amendment, of which there was a deter
mined fight when the constitutional
amendment was under consideration in
Congress.
In the form in which the popular cleo
tions amendment was first proposed and
passed by the House 1t deprived Congress
OF all authority to supervise the cleo
ton of senators. The Bristow amend
ment, which was first offered by Senator
Sutherland, retaining in Congress this
supervisory authority was carried by a.
narrow margin in the face of the bitter
opposition of the democrats

Wisdom of Amendment

Although the constitutional amendment
has been Iatiiied less than a wear the
wisdom of the Bristow amendment has
already been justified according to those
who supported it. Because of it, Con-
gress is in a position to enact legisla-
tion governing the election of Senators
and will be able to forestall further dis
putes such as have arisen over Governor
ONeafs appointment Of Representative
Clayton of Alabama, to succeed the late
Senator Johnston, and the election of
Blair Lee to succeed Senator jackson in
Maryland, In pursuance of a writ issued
by the governor.
The proposed legislation will provide
uniform rules for the elections of sena-
tors hereafter. The subcommittee has
not yet decided whether the elections
shall be held in the manner provided by
the various states for the election of a
governor or for the election of a general
officer
The question of the applicability of the
election amendment to the terms of SEN
ators beginning before it's ratifica ton
cannot, of course, be fixed by Congress
The constitution itself governs and its
Interpretation is a matter for the courts
The general opinion among the members
or the privilege and elections commit
tee Is that the amendment does not ap-
ply to the terms itself, but to the SEN
ators whose terms began before it's
adoption, and the proviso was inserted
as a precaution to secure to senator's the
title. they held to their seats at the
