the issuance of licenses to sell liquor.
If they have the right, since the pass
age of the Going act which did not
belong to them before, it is plain that
this right was conferred upon them by
the act itself,
Cannot Eliminate Part Of Act.
"The other suggestion is, that al
though the act may be unconstitution-
al, it may still be effective; that the
unconsHtutional provision may be
eliminated, and the remainder Of the
act enforced. The unconstitutional
part Of the act is that part which
grants to white persons the privilege
Of taking part in proceedings for or
against the sale Of intoxicating liquors.
If that part Of the act were stricken
out. what would be left? Nothing
but a statewide prohibition act; be-
cause 1t provides that licenses shall
not be issued at ALL except upon a
petition of majority Of the white
adults. If you strike out that condi-
ton there would be nothing left but a
provision that thereafter no licenses
shall be issued. OF course, the legis-
lature did not intend to make a state
wide prohibition act, and the courts
would hardly construe it as accom-
plishing something so different from
the legislative purpose and design,
Sustained by Supreme Court.
"The race Of Parkyiew Land Som
pany VS., Improvement District report
ed in 20 Ark, 80, sustains my view
on this point. Section Of the act,
however, provides that It shall not re-
peal any other laws, but shall be
cumulative to all other laws now in
force, OF course, If 1t should be held
valid as a statewide prohibition law,
it would necessarily repeal other
liquor laws.
"I have referred only to one section
Of the constitution with which this act
seems to conflict But there is an
other section which quite as plainly
forbids the kind Of discrimination con.
tanned in the act | refer to Sec. 3,
Art, Of the Constitution, which reads
as follows:
"The equality Of all persons before
the law is recognized and shall for
ever remain inyiolate; nor shall any
citizen ever be deprived Of any right,
privilege or immunity or duty on ac-
count Of race color or previous condi-
ton

Act Draws Color Line.

at seems to me that any ordinarily
intelligent man or woman reading this
section, would naturally conclude that
its manifest object and purpose was
to prevent the kind Of legislation at
tempted by the act under consldera-
ton for It excludes all races and col.
ors except white; and It excludes them
on account Of race and color, It draws
the color line Enthusiastically.
Some OF my lawyer friends, in
whose ability have much faith, have
investigated the question and think
the act is also void because It con-
rlicts with the federal constitution. |
have preferred, however, TO base my
opinion entirely on our own constitu.

Slowly, very hesitatingly. Carson
went back to the chair, and sank down
on it In a limp attitude OF detection
wholly unlike his customary postures
Of strength. Again, his fear fascinated
eyes went to the row OF cells that stood
silently menacing on the other side Of
the corridor beyond the windows. His
face was tinged with gray. A physical
sickness was creeping stealthiIy on
him. as his thoughts held mistakenly
Ito the catastrophe that threatened. His
Intelligence was too keen to permit a
belief that Burke's manner OF almost
fulsome kindness hid nothing omin-
ous-ominous with a hint of death for
him in return for the death he had
wrought.
Then, terror crystallized. His eyes
were caught by a figure. the figure of
Cassidy, advancing there in the cor
ridor. And with the detective went q
man whose gait was sinking, craven.
A cell door swung open, the prisoner
stepped within. the door changed to.
the bolts shot into their sockets noisily.
Carson sat huddled, ~stricken-for he
had recognized the victim thrust into
the cell before his eyes. 1t was Dacey.
one of his own cronies in crime
Dacey, who. the night before, had seen
him kill Eddie Griggs. There was
something concretely sinister to Gar
son in this fact of Dacey's presence
there in the cell.
OF a sudden the forger cried out rau-
cously:

thing on me, IL would The cry
dropped into unintelligible mumblings.
Burke retained his n of serene
indifference to the others agitation,
Still, his pen hurried over the paper.

he e~xpostulated. half banteringly.
Now, now. What's the matter with
you. Joe? | told you that i wanted to
ask you a few questions. That's ALL"
But, after a moment, Garson's emo.
ton forced him to another appeal.
"Say. Inspector he began.
Then. abruptly. he was silent. his
mouth still open to utter the words
that were now held back by horror.
Again. he saw the detective walking
forward. out there in the corridor. And
with him. as before. was a second fig.
ure, which advanced s%linkingly.
Again the door swung wide. the pris.

aWhy does God permit eyiia" All We

that8He could prevent ii IL He wished.
We read In His Word that He Is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents FOR theirs, and we
know how much that means; vet OF
tentImes 1t seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question is made very
clear In d book entitled. THE Divine
