THE GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE IS VOID
Unanimous Opinion of the U. S.
Supreme Court.
VIOLATES 18Th AMENDMEN
Effect OF Unanimous Opinion Likely
To Precipitate Suits To Remove
Franchise Restrictions In
Several States.

Washington. The Supreme Court
Of the United States dealt death
blow to the grandfather clause"
which, as part of their registration
laws, is employed to bar thousands OF
negroes from voting In many of the
Southern States.
The unanimous opinion Of the
court. as handed down by Chief JUS
tice White, applies only to registra
ton cases coming from Oklahoma and
Annapolis, Md. 1t can, however, be
made applicable 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 will 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 Su-
preme Court has passed upon the
validity of one of the most effective
weapons used by the Southern States
to bar the ignorant negro from par
ticipating in elections. The court has
bearing upon efforts to restrict suf-
frage, but it has never before handed
down an opinion directly bearing on
the grandfather" clause.
In Its opinion, the court unanimously
sustains the Fifteenth Amendment to
the Federal Constitution. prohibiting
discrimination against negroes in cleo
tons because of their race, color, or
, previous condition of eervitude." The
court, however, pointed out way by
which State can restrict suffrage if
it sees fit 1t held that g State can
apply the literacy test to persons seek
ing to register for elections or seeking
70 vote, but this test must be applied
with an equal hand to both white and
black
The grandfather clausep of both
the Oklahoma and Maryland enact
ments was designed 20 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
tons at Annapolis and has no bearing
whatever upon Federal or Statewide
elections in that Commonwealth.
This clause provides that any per-
son whose grandfather was not a
4 registered voter of any State cannot
register. The grandfather clause"
as written in the Oklahoma Constitu-
! ton, was copied from the North Caro-
lima law. II is product of the mind
of Senator Simmons, of that State,
who led the fight rs years ago and
overthrow negro domination of his
Commonwealth. AS can be readily
seen. only a few negroes can produce
evidence that their grandfathers were
voters, and as a result, the black vote
was wiped from the registration books
in wholesale lots.

Delayed Over Hour.

Only one race, the junior varsity
event, was started on time. The four
mile varsity contest was delayed by
rough water one and one-Quarter hours
and the freshman race postponed from
forenoon until after the feature event.
Then broken oarlock necessitated
the flrst-year crews rowing a race at
one and one-half miles in almost total
darkness.

largest regatta crowds that has gath
cred at New London in a decade fol
lowed the fortunes OF the crews 10y
ally, applauding the efforts Of both
winners and losers. The entire four
mile course, from the railroad bridge
to Bartlett's Cove, was lined with
steam yachts, sailing craft and motor
boats, until in places the racing crews
were hidden from those on shore and
train.
Fully 10000 spectators witnessed the
contests from the observation cars
which followed each race along the
banks of the Thames, while the river
shores were thronged. 1t was great
day for Yale and great day for New
London, for it was demonstrated that
the intervarsity boat races between
ale and Harvard are still one of
Americas sport classics.

ISN'T "sEAc1,onAsy" TINE WORD,

Instead of denominating the OPP
ponents Of the highway law as reac-
tionaries, outlaws, etc., it would be
much better to recognize the justice Of
complaints, and do something to
remedy them.-Clinton Herald.
1t is not of record that any Just
manned unnoticed. The fight has been
and still is against the Johnston bill
1t is reactionary. it's supporters are
consequently reactionaries. Why not
speak of the bill and its supporters
plainly in the one word accurately ex-
pressive of the bill and those who
reactionary to old conditions which
should be understood and feared in
Clinton county if in any county Of the
state. For Clinton county has recent
history bearing directly upon certain
conditions which the new road law
relieved and amended.
There is no disposition so far as
noted in the expression Of the press
which is almost without exception OPP
posing the Johnston bill to deny debate
or avoid listening to any complaint as
to the operation of the new law. With
out any manner of doubt it will be
amended and probably strengthened
by this or succeeding legislatures. But
not in an openly reactionary way. This
is new law. It had not had time to
wear off the rough and get to running
sweetly before the attack was made.
Without any manner of doubt it is
considered a step toward a business
like and efficient system of road max
ing and maintenance. 1t may need
retouching and if so is certain to get
it. The objection is to the proposition
to destroy the negative and smash the
camera.
In short the attempt has not been to
amend the road law or to change it
beneficially but to destroy it,
That attempt has been met
with protest from practically
every newspaper in the state. A re-
turn to 12-foot bridges to old time
pathmaster methods and to 14-foot ap-
proaches to 6-foot state is certainly
reactionary. Why not say so?

WHAT HAS THE WAR GAINED?

end soon. He bases his assertion on
the scarcity Of ammunition and the
expectation that the allies will cut thru
at the Dardanelles and crush Austria.
1t is possible however that the general

thought for the long trench reaching
from the North Sea to the Swiss
mountains is full Of men and the dead
ly line that hedges Germany still holds.
Suppose he is right and the war is
to end soon, what has it gained? A
city and a strip of territory and sea
port or so for one nation? But it has
destroyed one third of the selective
population of three countries, made
debts that will burden the next CEN
