Out of 1000 odd men who went

is believed that 800 were put out of
action. In view of these figures 1t
will be possible to form some opinion
as to the extraordinary good fortune
of the commander. The firing ceased
as much as 1t ever does just now in

Colonel McCay retired from the firing

On the climb down the cliff his cap
was knocked OF, and on picking it up
he was surprised to find bullet-hole
through rim and crown.
Scarcely had he replaced the cap
on his head than it was matched on
again, the bullet this time entering
the crown and coming out above the
peak. The brigadier decided to carry
the cap in his hand for the remainder
of the distance.
He conducted the second fine irltos

THE @GRANDFATHERv CLAUSE

At last the Supreme Court of the
United States, forced to squarely face
the Issue involved in the"grandfather
clause of Oklahoma's eleceion law. has
rendered a definite decision. 1t decid-
ed in the only way it could without re-
volzing the Fifteenth Amendment
The grandfather" clause had no
other object than to disfranchise the
negro voters for the sole reason that
they happen to be negroes. Aside from
the accident of birth, there is no obiec-
ton urged against the negro that is
true of all the race, and that is not
just as true of many white voters.
Aside from the accidert of birth there
IS no objection worth considering that
could not be overcome. without doing
violence to democracy, and without ra-
cial discrimination.
Had the trainers of the grandfather
clause been more concerned for dem
ocracy and less concerned about race
prejudice they would not have resort
ed to so discreditable subterfuge.
Suffrage is not a privilege. In DEM

CHANCE FOR ENLISTED MEN
Clerks for Navy Paymasters to be Ap-
pointed From Ranks.

Secretary Daniels has announced that
the Navy Department will hold an ex-
animation on November l for enlisted
men who wish to become paymasters'
clerks in the service.
These positions are quite desirable,
paying $500 year with pleasant du-
ties. Heretofore every paymaster has
appointed his own clerk, but the last
Congress passed law providing that
in the future the paymasters' clerks
shall become permanent body of the
service and that the enlisted men shall
be promoted to the positions
Those clerks now in the service are
not affected except that they have been
compelled to pas an examintion for per-
manent reappointment Mr.. Daniels
says that with but few exceptions all
the clerks had passed their examina-
tions. There are about two hundred
clerkships TO which the enlisted men
who pass The examination next No
vember viii be gradually appointed
