of its. necessity, for he has spent all
his life in Iowa, and knows what the
social life Of these two races has been
as we'll tas any man in the state.
There Is no pretense that this bill
Is called for by any general tendency
of whites and blacks to intermarry.
The most that can be said Is that the
bill aims at rare exception here and
there. What do these rare exceptions
mean? They mean that some black
man and some white woman or some
black woman and some white man
have formed an infatuation for each
other. That infatuation is disgusting
to both races, but Merciful Heaven!
law will not prevent such infatuations.
enact and enact and enact, and enact
until the legal enactments reach the
tip of this gilded dome-enact until,
in height, they pass the cloud line and
the sun is darkened, and yet you will
not prevent illicit infatuations. You
may prevent legal marriage, but the
lnfatuation and all that goes along
with II remains--all that goes along
with II remains.
Men of this chamber, l want your
minds to go down to fundamentals.
When these rare exceptions do occur,
which is better and more healthy for
society: allow them, in spite of our
adherence, to marry and bring chill
dren into the world, clothed in the
garb of legitimacy or deny them mar
riage and have children dumped into
society, clothed in the hideous RAIN
ent of bastardy?
What condition are you bringing
about by this law? If white man
seduces a chaste white girl, you per-
NIT him to marry the girl and escape
the penitentiary; but by this bill you
say to white men-men white Of face
but black of heart-that any self-re-
specting, pure-minded Negro girl is
only a toy in the hands of white beasts
and may be ruined with impunity.
Gentlemen, will vote for no such
law! "
