AUTHOR OF DECISION
GENUINE SOUTHERNER
Chief Justice White, Who Rules
Against Disfranchisement,
Is Confederate Veteran.

Chief Justice Edward Douglas
White, who delivered the opinion of
the Supreme Court, pronouncing void
the Grandfather Clause" OF the Okla
homa constitution. is himself a South
erner, and was reared in a section
where the race problem Is ever. pres
ent.
It is also OF interest in connection
with the important and far-reaching
decision Of the court. to recall that
the Chief Justice fought under the
Stars and Bars Of the Confederate
States a half century ago. White, tho
Confederate soldier. fought with
others of Louisiana and the South in
defense OF the right Of the States to
permit slave-holding; White. the
highest judicial officer in the land. is
today the author OF an opinion which
declares that the Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution prevents dis
elimination against the former slave
and the sons of slaves because of
race. color, or previous condition of
servitude."
Chief Justice White became a soldier
in the Confederate army when a Lad
Of sixteen. He was captured at Port
Hudson in July. 1868. and remained a

He was successful at law from the
start and reached the supreme bench

the highest bench in the land. and in
1910 President Taft. Republican. pro-
NOTED him to the Chief Justiceship;
There was immediate confirmation OF
the Taft appointment by tho Senate,
no reference to committee being made
Of the nomination.
An interviewer, writing of Chief Jus
tice White at the time Of his elevation
referred to his Southern origin as fol-
lows.
Real Southern Gentleman.
"The phrase Southern gentleman
has been detestably overworked and
SO has the legend that manners down
there are courtly.' The WORT itself Is
despicable. for it implies an artificial
finish. There 10 nothing 'courtly' about
the Chief Justice: that because there
is nothing artificial about him. But
after a talk with him the poor pinch
back figure Of the imaginary Southern
gentleman of fiction fees away and
you have before you a perfect picture
Of the real Southern gentleman. Also
Of the real Northern gentleman. the
real Eastern gentleman, and the real
Western gentleman. for although Mr..
Justice White has all that indeflnabie
attraction that seems to be the es-
pecial birthright Of people from Louisi-
ness which is back OF all these things
