IS the two teams were tied for third
place, so that each was out for blood.
BY winning, Elkton ties Parkside for
second place and sends Newark down

rate the fastest team in the League,
put crimp in New Castles winning
streak by a good dose of white-wash.

Grandfather Clause" Gets Death Blow

The Supreme Court of the United
States has dealt a death blow to the
grandfather clause, which, as a part
of their registration laws, is employ
ed to bar thousands of negroes from
voting in many of the Southern States.
The unanimous opinion of the court,
as handed down by Chief Justice
White, applies only to registration
cases coming from Oklahoma and An
napo.is. 1t can, however, be made
applica BILE to other Southern States
which have adopted this clause as
part of their election machinery, if
some interested party makes an at
tack upon it in the Supreme Court.
AS result it is now anticipated that
immediate steps vii! be taken to knock
out the grandfather clause" in North
and South Carolina and in Mississippi.
Upholds 18th Amendment.
This is the first time that the Sup
rene Court has passed upon the valid
ity of one of the most effective We
pons used by the Southern States to
bar the ignorant negro from partici-
pating in elections. The Court has
passed upon cases having an indirect
bearing upon efforts to restrict suff-
rage, but it has never before handed
down an opinion directly bearing on
the grandfather clause.
In its opinion the court unanimous
ly sustains the Fifteenth Amendment
to the Fedora. Constitution, prohibit
ing discrimination against negroes in
elections because of their "race, color,
or previous condition of servitude."
The court. however, pointed out way
by which State can restrict suffrage
If it sees fit. 1t held that State can
apply the literacy test to persons
seeking to register for elections or
seeking to vote, but this test must be
applied with an equal hand te both
white and black
The grandfather clause" of both
the Oklahoma and Maryland enact
mentS was designed to restrict negro
suffrage. In Oklahoma the clause was
written in the State Constitution and
applied to Federal, State. county and
municipal elections. In Maryland the
clause applied only to municipal cleo
tioHs a Annapolis and has 10 bearing
whatever upon Federal or Statewide
elections in that Commonwealth.
This clause provides that any person
whose grandfather was not regis
tered voter Of any State cannot regis
ter. The grandfather" clause" as
written in the Oklahoma Constitution,
was copied from the North Carolina
law. 1t is a product of the mind of
Senator Simmons of that State, who
led the fight % years ago and over
threw negro domination of his Com
monweath, AS can be readily seen,
only few negroes can produce evil
dence that their grandfathers were
voters. and as 2 result. the black vote
was wined from the registration books
in wholesale lnls

.BARNUM & BAILEY
Have Hundreds of New Features
That VIII he Shown at
Van Vert.

The Barnum and Bailey greatest show
on earth, which comes to Van Vert
on Wednesday June 2. claim to present
this year "A Circus Of ~ Nations. ."
meaning one that is filled with all new
features shown now for the first time and
presented by 4sO world famed artists
who represent every nation of the world.
The entire world has been secured by
special Barnm and Bailey agents so that
practically all of the arenic stars that
are really worth seeing take part.
The time honored custom has always
been to refer to each successive years
circus as bigger and better than ever"
but the phrase has become so hackneyed
that, this year, Barnum and Bailey hes
itate to use it, despite the fact that it ad-
equately describes the entertainment.
More railroad cars are required to trans
port the show. bigger tents are raised.
more arena is needed to accommodate the
the show than ever before. In fact. the
circus has reached a point where it is the
despair of many of the smaller railroads
and taxes their facilities to the limit, for
elghty-five cars are needed to convey the
gigantic canvas city from town to town
There's material enough in this years
circus to make dozen circuses of the
old days A big top" $50 feet long, near
ly l,5OO employees, three rings, four ele-
waited platforms, acres of aerial appara-
tus, the biggest stage ever erected for a
dramatic presentation, a 10 cage menag-
erie, $50 horses, forty elephants, a street
parade three miles long.
Among the novelties offered this seas
on are the six Riding Hannafords,"
The Paldrens." balancing, pyramiding |
and head jumping on the top of burning |
lamps. 'Pallenbergs Wonder Bears" |
'Adgie" and her den of nine performing |
lions, Barnum and Bailey statue |
horses, Madame Bradua's Angel horses. !
Three herds of war elephants, trained
and shown by the first and only lady ele-
)hant trainer. Besides thes are 60 aerial
performers, go riders so acrobats and 60
downs.
A wonderful prelude to this great cir
'us Is the presentation of the new mag
lihcent, spectacular pagaent, "Lalla
tookh" in which more than 1000 charac-
ers take part. Every one should get an
arly start on circus day in order to be
here in time for the parade which starts
t 10 am. and which is said to be three
niles long.-adv.
