GRANDFATHER CLAUSE"
 HELD TO BE ILLEGAL

WASHINGTON, June 2l-ln probably one of the most important race decisions in its history, the supreme court of the United States today annuled as unconstl tutionaI the Oklahoma constitutional amendment and the Annapolis, Md., voters qualification law, restricting the suffrage rights of those who could not vote or whose ancestors could not vote prior to the ratl- fication of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution
 Chief Justice White, a native ot the South and former Confederate soldier, announced Nthe courts decision, which was unanimous.
 By holding that conditions that existed before the fifteenth amendment, which pro vides that the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account ot race, color or previous condition of servitude, could not be brought over to the present day Tn dis regard of this self-executing amendment It is genearlly believed that the court went a long way toward invalidatlng much ot the so-called grandfather clause" legislation ot Southern states.
 The immediate effect of the courts decl- sion was to uphold the conviction of two Oklahoma election officials who denied ne groes the right to vote in congressional election, and to award three Maryland ne groes damages from election officials in An napclis who refused to register them.
 The court held that these clecti,n off cials could not ignore the potency of the fifteenth amendment in wlplng out of state constitutions the word white" as a quail fcaton for voting.
 In the Maryland case the courts decision established the point that the fifteenth amendment applies alike to municipal as well as to federal elections
 Discussing the Oklahoma cases, Chief Jus tce White said the suffrage amendment to the state constitution first fixed Q hteracy standard and then followed it with provl- sion creating q standard based upon the con GitIon existing on January l, 1866, prior to he adoption of the fifteenth amendment and eliminated those coming under that standard from the inclusion of the literary test
 The court had difficulty, he said in find ing words to clearly demonstrae its convlc- ton that this action of the state recreated and perpetuated the very conditions which the fifteenth amendment was intended tC destroy.
 Tt Is true,' continued the chief justice that it contains in no express words ar exclusion from the standard which it estab fishes of any person on account of race, colo1 or previous condition of servitude, pronib ,ited by the fifteenth amendment but the standard itself inherently brings that result into existence since it is based purely upor period of time before the enactment O the fifteenth amendment. and makes that period the controlling and dominant test oi the right of suffrage.

The dealer from whom he bought his machine sent man to teach hIm to operate the mechanism. At his suggestion Leo mounted the wheel, the machinery started and Leo was on his way. He cndeavored to shut of the power after while but was unable to do 50, and had gone some five miles or more when he finally managed to come to q stop. He never did see that instructor again.

4 PROBLEM IN DRINK WHICH
 WAS DIFFICULT TO SOLVE
(St. Louis GIobe-Democratl

T have observed" sad Herman Foelch 2t the last meeting of the Home Helghts John Burroughs Society just after Frank Kuhn had read a paper on whether It IS better to kill mole, which kills cut-Worm. which kills lettuce and cabb&CeS, or let the mole destroy the appearance of lawn.
 II have observed" repeated MT, FCelcA, that there are a large number ot the mem bers of this society who fancy themselves as mathematcians. I believe one of the charter members lays claim to the honor of being the first man who discovered how old was Ann. and that another member guessed right as to the number or posts needed for plot of ground that required l6O posts.
 Now I have something entirely new and original, something that will appeal to all of you, because it has to do with two great necessary evils, money and rum.
 Two farmers. friends of mine ln St. Charles county, started to town, each with gallon of home made whisky which they intended to sell One farmer-his name Is Jake-said to the other farmer, whose name is John, I am mighty dry
 This was after they had driven about three miles and were still fifteen miles from the place they expected to dispose of their wet goods,
 "'Iake a drink out of your jug, says John.
 "T dassent,' says Jake. I need the money. But I'll tell you what I'll Go. l have nickel, and I'll give it to you for >wig out of your jug
 GA nickel locks good to me said John, and the bargain was carried out. Pretty soon John says, Jake, I'm dry too and I'll give you a nickel for a drink
 "'All right says Jake, and the nickel went back to the original owner,
 "A little later Jake got dry again and bought a drink from John. Then John bought one from Jake. They kept that up until neither one of them had drop in his jug.
 Now, what I want to know is, who had the original nickel when the jugs were empty?"
 John did" said Phil Dunn. "He got it first"
 Jake did" said John Massey. Tt was his to start with.'
 Gimme a handful of matches and I'll show you John had it," said Ollie Love.
 '>Tm not running a lumber yard" said Massey. Take piece of paper and a pen cn"
 After all the members had figured on the proposition for ten minutes and there was tie vote as to whether Jake or John had the nickel, Tom Elliott, the chicken man, created diversion by demanding to know which one of the two farmers got the last drink of whisky
 Before the mathematicians got busy on this the tall conductor broke up the meeting by announcing that the car was ready to start for St. Louis.

repeatedly in order TO destroy the
springs and make the scale short
weight. Other charges also were
made.
At that time Harris was suspended
by the Board of Freeholders and
given until January 25 to answer the
charges against him. He filed his

given the board, as expected today,
