DIGNIFIED CHRISTMAS GIFTS

mept, 1915 E. 18th ST., Kansas City,
Mo-, will be found as usual this sea-
son a line of Christmas cards which
will not be shown by other small es-
tablishments in this city. To those
who have learned that value in Christ
mas gifts are by far the secondary
consideration. That sentiment is all
in all, we would ask to look over this
line and place their orders prior to
December in order that their deliv-
cries may be made in ample time.
This beautiful line of embossed en-
cravings can be seen daily at the
above named establishment. 1t costs
you nothing to view these beauties
even should you fail to order You
will find the customary courteous at
tention in evidence. The management
invites you to come.

To choose the PPresident by popu-
lar vote is one way to prevent the
South from exerting an influence in
national elections to which it is not
entitled; the electoral college is anti
quated. But in the meantime the dis
play of righteousness which the ad-
ministration is making in going after
only those election thieves who oper-
ate on comparatively infinitesimal
scale in Cincinnati and elsewhere is
amusing. Why not prosecute the
fraud that is practiced in the South
on colossal scale and which the per-
petrators do not take the trouble to
deny or even try to conceal? Why not
scale down the "solid South's" repre-
sentation in the electoral college until
it is in honest proportion to the popu-
lar vote cast? Why strain at a gnat
and swallow a camel?

A THANKSGIVING CONFESSION.
Rv REM " IOngdoD


At this time of the year two senti-
ments very properly find room in our
hearts, sentiment of sorrow and a
sentiment of gratitude. AS we look
back upon the past twelve months we
find much to regret, much to sorrow
for. At times we have been weak,
timid, cowardly and even perhaps
mean. All this, of course, makes a
dark picture and we shall sorrow for
it but we shall not be sad. Sadness
is never helpful. 1t enervates, weak
ems, discourages. Sorrow strength
ems, cheers and aids to reparation fol
the past and the mending of our lives
for the future.
The second sentiment that should
animate us at this time of year is
gratitude. "a certain widow was Sc
poor that she out the one
thin bed covering by laying an ole
door over herself and her children,
Mamma" said one of the children
one bitter night, what do those chill
dren do who haven't got a door Il
cover them?" Our hearts should b.
full to overflowing for the tens o
thousands of favors and graces givel
us since last Thanksgiving Day, Thi
gratitude will show itself not in use
less ripenings, not in Encouragement
but in loving energetic fidelity t
daily duties in the unborn years tina
are in Gods Providence to come I
us. We begin today with a, tear {
sorrow and smile of courage. wit
sigh of regret and a song of joy.
81 have a room whereinto no on
enters,
Save myself alone;
There sits blessed memory on
throne,
Thereby life centers."

THE ROMANCE OF YESTERDAY.
BY Chas. Starks.

BY ChaS. StarkS.
Looking back on past rich experience
Of the heart, is like playing with EN-
bers.
Romance has sweet thrills long after
season
Long passed, and it may be in soft
pathos
Or joy welding by fond recollection,
"reminiscences of the yesterday,
Or thru the long labrynth of pulsing
soul,
But even today has power to move
And will not be downed by Times cir
cumstance.
Love has been hurt but its God not
dethroned.
But can we sing if we see or feel not
Song without sympathy is blank dis
cord
And life without romance is life not
But poor existence, it is faint and sad.
There is sweetness in fondling o'er
the past
Though which essence can never be
recalled,
Its sad ghost we might scarcely see
fitting
Away into nights gloomy recedence.

to turn over to him all of the ma
chinery of government in those COM
monwealths in which his race is in the
majority; his would be the deciding
voice at all local elections. The ter
rible lesson of the reconstruction
period in this regard is not forgotten.
The North sympathizes with the
situation of the South to the extent
that no attempt is made to bring
pressure to bear to force compliance
with the law. There is no reason,
however, why the South should be
allowed to continue to cast an inflated
total of electoral votes based upon the
supposition that the Negroes are per-
mitted to exercise the franchise, when
all the, world knows they are not
In the election of 1916, for instance,
the electoral ballots have not yet been
cast. II the "solid South" were to be
permitted only that number of cleo
toral votes to which it is fairly en-
titled Mr.. Hughes and not Mr.. Will
son would be the next President oi
the United States.
The constitution gives to each state
as many members of the electoral col
lege as the sum of the number of its
senators and representatives in con
gress. Each state has two senators
and the number of its representatives
is determined on the basis of its popu
lation as given in the last census. 81
far, the South would seem to have {
right to all of its congressman anC

whether the Negro were permitted t

of the Fourteenth amendment specifi

any of the male members of such
state, being 81 years of age and citi-
zens of the United States, or in any
way abridged, except for participation
in rebellion or other crime. the basis
of representation therein shall be re-
duced in the proportion which the
number of such male citizens shall
bear to the whole number of male
citizens 21 years of age in such state"
That language is clear enough. If
all of the male citizens over legal age
are not permitted to vote, then the
electors shall be apportioned with re-
gard to the number who are permit
ted to vote. If only white men can
cast ballot in the South, then the
the Fourteenth amendment only to a
number of electors in proportion to
the total white voting strength. The
Negro should not be barred from the
polls and then have his vote counted
in the electoral college as though il
had been cast.
The Fifteenth amendment is violat
ed in the South because the North
makes no adequate objection. The
/ Fourteenth has been safely disregard
ed for the same reason. With the
Democratic party in an apparently
hopeless minority elsewhere, in time:
past it made little practical difference
if the South were allowed to cas-
more electoral votes than the number
to which it was entitled. Even il
1912 little attention was paid in th'
Republican ranks to this matter; thu
detection of the Progressiyes was thu
thing thta gave the Democrats th'
victory.
The result in 1916 has been to,
close and too hard fought for it longe
10 be possible to overlook the discrer
ancy between the South's popula
vote and its electoral vote. 1t is
fraud which has resulted in turning
the election. Mr.. Wilson will receiv
