broad enough for that purpose, and the Pres
ident apparently SO understands it.
What else could be meant when he speaks
of citizens being 'assigned2 to manual LAHORE
Who will do the assigning? Who will send
a thousand black men to the fields, and
thousand white men to the mines?
If they are unwilling to be assigned and
must be coerced, what becomes of the 18th
Amendment?
The liberty of one is the liberty of all: in
defending these two negroes we defend every
body. If Congress can annihIate their civil
status, and automatically transform them
into soldiers, it can with equal legality trans
form them into poems, and slaves. No Alex
andrian sword can cut a cleavage between the
prohibition against slavery and the prohibi-
ton against involuntary servitude The bolt
which smites one, smites the other: the curse
of the Supreme Law is pronounced against
both
How then, is Congress to raise armies?
The cOnscrlpt has never vet PLAYED any
part IN English history; and very little in
ours
There are 100000 volunteers fighting Eng
lands battles at this time; and nearly 1,0OO,-
600 Americans voluntarily enlisted in our
Army. Who knows how many would yOlun-
teer, under conditions which convinced our
people that such service is needed for the de-
Tense of the country?
There is no limit to the number of able
bodied men that the States may enroll in the
militia, and the United States has ample con-
stltutonal power to appropriate every one
of these men, provided the service is needed
to repel INVASION, suppress instruction, or eX-
ecute the laws of the Union.
Twelve million men will spring to arms ut
the call of the Government, to defend their
country.
1t is the idea of being sent into foreign
lands, to fight for something not understood,
that agitates our people, deters enlistments,
and spreads conservation
Not line of the Supreme Law indicates
the purpose of the Fathers to authorize the
use of the military for any ether purposes
than those stated in the Preamble, and in
the body of the Constitution; and those pro-
visions strictly limit the use of our troops
to tranQuilizing our own country, upholding
our system of laws, and repelling any invader
who ventures to attack our frontiers.
That question, however, is not before the
Court The only question here is the CON-
stitutio0ozity Of this act Of Congress.
If Congress has undertaken to raise armies
by method which violates the Supreme Law,
then Congress must try some other method.
If the method hastily adopted by Congress
destroys the guaranteed liberties Of the citi
zen, then Congress must choose some other
plan. To raise armies is a legitimate power,
most necessary to preserve the Union; but
that power must not be abused, to the destruc-
ton CT our republican institutions.
If the destruction of the Temple of our
liberties is condition precedent to raising
armies, then it is a colossal instance of pay
ing toe much for the whistle
Liberties without armies, are preferable to
armies without liberties.

Amendment prevails over its predecessor.
Now, with all the earnestness of my nature,
[ appeal to your Honor to say whether the
18th Amendment, so effective to safeguard
property, does not equally protect life; and
whether the 18th Amendment being part
of the radical change made in the Constitu-
tional system, after the Civil War, does not
override any preceding clause in the Supreme
Law and all decisions made hereunder!
The vast combinations of wealth, incorpo-
rated for all manner Of business enterprise,
have taken refuge in the broad provisions of
law, made particularly for the negro.
[ was present, some 81 years ago, when the
Justices of the Supreme Court of Georgia
heckled and jeered at the late Frank II. NIL
Ter, when that able attorney invoked the 14th
Amendment in behalf of the Augusta Street
Railway.
Justice Blandford told Mr.. Miller laugh
ingly that the 18th Amendment had moth
ing to do with railroads: ut ac08 made for
m5ggers."
With equal force it could be said, that the
18th Amendment was made for niggers; and,
in this case, we would not care because our
clients are niggers.
But the Congressional leaders who prepared
the general plan to safeguard the black man
in all of his newly-won freedom, made their
language as broad in the 18th Amendment, as
they did in the 18th.
Not only the white man, but the corpora
tons owned by the whites, can come into
Court and successfully plead against any
form of servtude to which they are opposed

next few weeks, and your Honor may have
to pass on it.
[ am not speaking of martial law, duly
proclaimed; nor of military law embracing
camps, trenches, and troops in actual service !:
| am speaking solely Of the civilian, and the
civil status: and my contention IS, that the
citizen can nc more be lawfully forced into
military service, than he can be drafted to
mine coal, smet metals, build post-roads, and
dredge rivers and harbors.
And my contention further is, that while
the enlisted man, legally soldier, is a SOL

ture Of the employment, may be sent any
where and controlled absolutely by his Off

The Act of May IS, 1917, together with
other legislation constituting the general
Army plan, has been officially construed by
the President to mean, not only the incorpO-
ration of the State militia into the Regular

as understood by the Fathers, and as set forth
IN such State papers as the Great Charter, the
Act OF Habeas Corpus, the Petition of Rights,
the Bill Of Rights and the Amendments to
the United States Constitution adopted prior
to the Civil War.
Whether an Act of Congress imposing COM
pulsOry military service upon citizens of a
selected age would have been held Constitu-
tlonal prior to 1865, need not now be con
sldered. We know that the States, alone,
exercised that power, to some extent, during
the Revolutionary War; and that the efforts
OF the Government in 1914 and 1888, to Sc
cure such an Act, were defeated
At the time the Fathers invested Congress
with the power ''t0 raise armies" the small
Kingdom Of Prussia was the only European
state that bad been accustomed to raise them
by conpulsion. The English system, since
Feuda]ism and its Knight service of 40 days
year, had consistently been uoz1tnta1V.
Crimping and kidnapping were the abuses Of
the system, but there was never a legaliZed
CONSUMPTION until the third year Of the pres
ent war; and even now, there is no compulsory
service imposed upon Ireland, Canada and =
l beleve-AustraIia.
We earnestly submit to your Honor, that
cate the issues we raise in favor of these two
compIainants.
The 18th, 18th, and 18th Amendments
worked material changes in the pre-existing
Constitutional system
The negro and his civil status were the sub
jects matter; but the words Of the law could
not measure the citizens rights by the color
of his skin. What was law for the black be
came law for the white; and what was law
for the natural person, became law for the
artificial.
| call your Honors special attention to the
fact that the United States Courts have held
the 14th Amendment to annul the 18th.
The Eleventh Amendment denies to the
United States Courts jurisdiction over suits
commenced or prosecuted against one of the
United States by citizens of another State;
and that, Amendment was adopted to protect
the sovereign States from being made defend
ants in United States Courts by private citi-
zens Of a State, or Of a foreign country
It is well known that Chisholm's case
against the State of Georgia was the provOca-
tive of that Amendment.
After the adoption of the 18th Amendment,
it was universally respected by the United
States Courts, during all the years preceding
the Civil War, and during the entire period
covered by that lamenable struggle.
But when the 14th Amendment was adopt
ed, after the War, different course was puv-
sued.
That change in the Supreme Law created,
for the first time, q citizenship Of the Fed
eral Government as distinguished from State
citizenship; and the States were forbidden by
the Federal Government, for the first time,
to make any law abridging the rights of these
newly-made United States citizens.
No State was thereafter to be allowed to de-
prive any person Of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law; nor to deny to
any person within its jurisdiction the enull

Isis theater tomorrow in connection
with the Purple Mask with beauti-
full and talented Dorothy Phillips
playing the leading role. The divorce
question is exploited in this Bluebird,
demonstrating that if divorce there
must be it were far better to let well
enough alone. In "The Piper's Price"
the man and woman who were di-
vorced did not do this, and the result
was untold misery for the faithful
wife. who was effected by the folly
of one man who was not brave enough
to abide by his own decision. Four
principals and two housemaid char
acters are shown upon the screen in
"The Piper's Price" but this small
cast proves by the force and charac-
ter of their artistry that numbers are
not necessary to the portrayal of an
interesting story when the characters
are skilfully played and combined in
effective delineations.

men that composed the Farm Bureau
in favor of limiting the number of
proxy votes that any one man could
represent, but since the Farm Bureau
feels that they are the whole cheese,
they seem to have no use for such an
amendment, and as the Farm Bureau
president explained in answer to my
inquiry they were too busy at the
special meeting to attend to it."
The president claimed that in elect
ing directors for three years, the dan
ger of dispensing with efficient men
before they have had chance to
make good, and the danger of having
an entire new board will be eliminat-
ed; yet in the face of these asser-
tons, they propose to make an en-
tire change in the personnel of the
board, but as majority of the candi-
dates are Farm Bureau men, we are
asked to assume that they are fully
competent, and safe men to tie to;
but are they?
Are men who will either deliberately
approve of such uncalled for and ar
rogant methods as these, or else be
willing to be led blindly around by an
ambitious organizer, safe men to in
trust with the management of our af-
fairs?
Personally l have always insisted on
a board who would do their OWL
thinking, and l see no reason fol
changing my views at this time; but
now it seems that under the proposed
regime we do not need board who
will do any thinking, as other powers
behind the throne will do that fol
them gratis, and our system will b'
