TO KNOCK OUT NEGRO VOTE.
OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATS SEEK TO
REVIVE A GRANDFATHER"
CLAUSE.
A Supreme Court Decision Prevents
Il When Congressional Candidates
4Are Being Voted Upon, But Not
So on State Candidates.

The Negroes of Oklahoma are not
done with the grandfather clause.
That amendment to the Oklahoma con-
stitution, which disenfranchised the
Negro and made the state certainly
Democratic, was %annulled last June
by a unanimous decision of the United
States supreme court.
Politically, the decision meant the
putting of Oklahoma into the Repub-
lican column at the next election, for
the Negro vote, added to the white
Republican vote in the state, would
sweep the Democrats out of office.
But since June the Oklahoma Democ-
racy has been busy. Gov. Robert l..
Williams will call a special session
Of the legislature January 10 to put
into law a plan which will virtually
annul the effects Of the supreme
annul the effects of the supreme
courts decision.
The grandfather" clause provided
a literacy test for certain voters. With
out mentioning the Negro it was made

was enforced in a way which made
it immaterial whether the Negro was
or was not illiterate. A Negro grad
uate Of Harvard once attempted to
vote at Muskogee. Not twenty-five
men in the state excelled him in lit
eracy. He read the section of the
constitution given him with a fine I'M
derstanding and a beautiful enuncia-
ton. The judges were compelled to
nod a%pprovingly. The test next re-
quired that he put what he had read
in writing. He was given a fountain
pen and a large section of plotting
paper and instructed to write on the
blotting paper with the fountain pen.
His protests were laughe dat and he
did not vote.

The supreme courts decision
knocked out all this procedure, but a
federal court has jurisdiction only in
an election at which federal officers
are voted on.
The law which the special session
of the Oklahoma legislature is ex-
pected to enact will provide for two
boths at a general election, one at
which state officers only will be voted
on and the other for congressional
balloting. The grandfather" clause
will be enforced with all its old time
rigor at the state booth. At the con
g%ressional booth the Negro will be
allowed to cast his ballot. The re-
suit will probably mean a gain of
three Republican congressman in Ok
lahoma and an advantage for the Re
publican presidential candidate in
1916 and succeeding years, but the
Democrats will continue to maintain
their complete control of the state
offices.

AS a means of promoting efficiency
and saving labor nothing car be more
important than the study of the Ameri-
can kitchen 1t is the workshop in
which hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of material, more or less raw, is
made into a manufactured product
which goes directly into tens of mil
lions of human mouths and sustains
tens of millions of human brains and
bodies. Upon the quality of this a
ufactured product depends the welfare
of the nation. Good food makes happy
homes, keeps families united, accom-
plishes wonders in keeping men from
drink and children from breaking
down under the stress of modern edu-
cation. Upon it hang the issues of life
and death. The kitchen, then, should
need no advocate and no defender. 1t
is the most important room in the
house.

screams of terror aroused residents
of the neighborhood and they saw the

By ]. f. HEREFORD,
Principal Lincoln School.

Two continents join this week in
lamenting tn death of DR.. Booker T.
Washington, founder of Tuskegee,
race leader, scholar and teacher. In
the face of such great loss and at a
time when a continuation of his SER
vice is so much needed, words are
inadequate for expression of sorrow
and pain. 1t is one of those losses
which stupefy rather than distress.
The services of DR.. Washington had
become not only a blessing to the
race but a real notwithstanding
great connecting link between the two
races in this country. Through him
we were able to reach the ears of
those who otherwise would scorn us.
Through him we had consideration
and respect from those who otherwise
would despise us. He was sc mod
crate and practical at all times that
no man refused to give him a hear
ing, no man refused him aid in the
great work of his life, that of lifting
as he arose.
From the little hatless, ragged, un
kept drudge boy he rose to the high
est example of useful and trained cit
izenship, thus illustrating his own life
the lessons which he gave to thou
sands OF his own people. His exam
pie has been an inspiration to peopl'
of every race, and the rich and pow
erful have never tired of his life stor.
and his ambition. Another decade o
his work would have been an untol'
blessing to the Negroes of America
for it will be difficult even if possible
for another to take up the work wher
he left off so abruptly-called by tn
Great Creator, who raised him up TO
us from the very dust.

Booker T. Washington, the
founder and principal of the
Tuskegee, Alabama, Normal In
dustrial Institute, was born at
Hale's Ford Postoffice, Franklin
county, Virginia, about 1856 or
1867. At the age of 8 he went
with his mother and the rest of
the family to Maiden, Kanawha
county, West Virginia. Here he
attended the common schools
until 1872. In the fall of that
year he left Maiden and proceed
ed to Hampton Institute, Hamp-
ton, Va. His lean were scanty
but he thought he had honey
enough to reach that place. Up
on his arrival at Richmond he
found himself minus enough to
pay for a nights lodging. He
took the next best, shelter un-
der a sidewalk. Next morning
he got employment in helping
to unload a vessel, thus earning
a sufficient sum with which to
continue his journey to Hamp-
ton. At this institution the first
year he aided his expenses by
working, with a brother helping
him some. The two remaining
years he worked out his entire
expenses as janitor. Graduating
in 1875 he taught several years
at Maiden the place of his birth.
In 1873 he entered Wayland
Seminary and took a course of
studies there. After leaving
there he was given a position in
Hampton Institute which posi-
ton he held two years, the last
year having charge of the Indian
boys. Meanwhile the legislature
of Alabama passed an act estab-
fishing a Normal School at Tus-
kegee, Ala. The State Commits
sioners applied to Gen. S. C.
Armstrong, principal of Hamp-
ton Institute to recommend some
one for principal. He recon-
mended Mr.. Washington who
went at once to Alabama and or
ganized the school July 4, 1881.
The buildings then occupied
we're a church and a small dwell
ing house with thirty pupils and
one teacher. Since that time it
has made such wonderful pro-
gress that today the site of the
institution is a city within itself.

Friar's Heel is the name given to a
large stone at ~Stonehenge, England.
An interesting tale surrounds the
placing of this stone in its present
upright position. II is related that
Geoffrey on Monmouth said that the
devil bought some stones of an old
woman in Ireland, wrapped them up
in withies and brought them to Sails
bury plain. Just before he got to
Mt. ANDRE the withies broke and one
Of the stones fell into the Avon; the
rest were carried to the plain. After
the fiend had fixed them in the ground
he cried out, mo man will ever find
out how these stones anne here" A
friar replied, That's more than thee
can tell" whereupon the fiend threw
one of the stones at him and struck
him on the heel. The stone stuck in
the ground and is said to remain there
to the present hour.
