THE MOCK IN DEMOCRACY.

1t has remained for an eX-Confeder-
ate soldier, as chief justice of the
United States, to hand down a unani-
nous decision of the supreme court
which places the brand of lawlessness
upon the attempt of a Southern state
to nullify the fifteenth amendment of
the United States constitution.
The so-called Democratic party in
the state of Oklahoma, under the
leadership of such self-styled apostles
OF the peoples rule as Senators Owen
and Gore, incorporated in a so-called
progressive state constitution an
amendment which attempted to base
the right of suffrage upon ancestry;
moi upon intelligence, education or
even property, but upon the social and
economic status of the voters parents
or grandparents in 1866. This, indeed
is putting the mock" in Democracy.
Yet politicians of the Gore-Owen
stamp have the supreme gall to per-
petrate legislation of this kind and
then undertake to instruct the rest of
the country in the principles of dem
OSAdSJ NOu Save the mdIk!
The attempt made was to apply a
literarcy test to blacks alone, permit
ting the illiterate to vote provided only
that the ignoramus was descended
from some o ne who in 1866 occupied
the status of citizenship. The pro
vision reads:
mo person shall be registered as
an elector in this state, or be allowed
to vote in any election here, unless
he be able to read and write any sec
tion of the Constitution of the state
of Oklahoma, but no person who was,
on Jan. 1, 1856. or at any time prior
thereto, entitled to vote under any
form of government. or who at that
time resided in any foreign nation,
and no hneal descendant OF such per
o shall be denied the right to regis
ter and vote because of his inability
10 SO read and write sections OF such
constitution"

The Oklahoma Democrats, in incor-
porating such a provision in their con
stitution. we're of course only initial
ing their associates in the leadership
of the Democratic party in that sec
ton in which it is chronically domi-
nant, and from which comes the sec
tional leadership that controls the
Democratic party today. This kind of
skulduggery was intended only to ac-
complish legally what had heretofore
been done by open force and fraud,
by politicians who treat the country
to a heap of talk about their interest
in human freedom, individual liberty
and social justice, all of which is mere
mummery in their mouths in view of
their habitual attitude at home not
only toward the black man. but toward
the poor white of the South.
There never was a more impudent
mockery than the affectation by Dem.
ocratic leadership of interest in de-
mocracy. That leadership has been
principally occupied for a generation
III 'hC oNbSihpJ W hdJOllly
rule in the South. As demonstrated
in the articles which have been print
ed in the National Republican concern
ing the government of Virginia, their
cry of negro supremacy has been a
mere cloak for the manipulations of
an office holding oligarchy which is
entitled to the name of aristoc-
racy. 1t is well to keep in mind that
with all his professions of interest in
the rule of the people in Mexico and
the Philippines, President Wilson is
cheek by jowl with the politicians
who make a mockery of representative
government in the states they domi-
nate, and that his official course JUS
titles the assumption that he is com
pletely in sympathy with the system
which produces one vote in every 20
of population in the South, as against
n vote in every four and a half pop
ulation north of the Ohio river. The
Democratic majority which sustains
the present administration in the
house of representatives is based on
the votes of men whose citizenship is
denied at the polls, but claimed vigor-
ously in congress and the electoral col
lese as a basis of representation
National Republican.

One of the most alarming things
that ever happens in a home that has
been blessed with children is the sud
den and frequently unannounced on.
set of a spasm in a child. Nothing so
completely disconcerts the \ entire

er, if he be at home, is usually dis
patched for the nearest doctor, while
valuable time is lost before the doc
tors arrival. For these reasons and
especially since this is one of the most
frequent and dangerous diseases of
infancy and early childhood, every
mother should possess some knowl-
edge of spasms and their manage
