RIGHTS OF THE NEGRO.
Political Action to Enforce the Con.
stitutional Amendments Demanded.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: 1t
is quite interesting TO note that st.
Marks Methodist Episcopal Lyceum, the
oldest institution of its kind in the State
of New York. has launched a campaign
for the express purpose of bringing
about the enforcement OF the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments to the Con-
stitution of the United States
The colored people OF this country are
a factor that this nation cannot get along
without. The race is absolutely loyal
and true to the principles of the foun-
dation of this Government. and since
this Government boasts of freedom and
liberty for the people 1t Is necessary
that the negro should enjoy the full
rights of citizenship.
No people should be made to abide
by a law when II does not exercise the
right to help make that law.
The negro Is required to respect every
law of this country. He should have the
privilege to be a full fiedged citizen. Be
cause of the fact that the negro is de-
MED the right of full citizenship we have
brought about n partisan form of gov
eminent in the South, just as embar-
RAISING 10 the white man as II is wrong
to the negro.
While the negro cannot vote in the
South, the white man can only vote for
the party which will see TO It that the
colored people are not allowed the free
dom OF American citizens.
The negro has made the freedom and
independence of white people in this
country safe and secure In exchange
the white man must see to II that the
negro shall have equality. St Marks
Lyceum of New York deserves much
credit for this timely move.

ENGLAND'S RULE.
Assertions Tending to Her Discredtt
Are Disputed.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Sir: You
published in your paper of October IL
a letter signed Alert" which contained
a TRADE against England. One of the
statements was as follows: LAS to all
others (smaller dependencies) she is as
brutal and as cynical an authority as
the Hun ever was He does not at
tempt to show in what way England ia
brutal and cynical, but he recalls her
treatment of the American colonies in
the eighteenth century in order to show
howsawful England is. Thus It is that
the Irish-Americans, using past condi-
tions as an argument, and without any
mention of the present, are causing such
unreasoning and blind bad feeling in this
country against England "Alert's''
statements are mere repetltions of propa-
ganda. He does not attempt to intro
duce any proofs or any argument TO sup
port his exaggerated claims. Most of
what he says regarding Englands treat
ment of Ireland is so manifestly unjust
and lacking in reason that 1t is needless
to reply to it.
The only definite and detailed state
ment nat we have had regarding the
so-called British atrocities was the
Walsh-Dunne report. As we all know
this report was specifically denied by
Great Britain, leaving the question still
in doubt.
What we need here in America Is
more knowledge on the Irish question,
and greater attention should be paid to
the facts and less to the unfounded and
unrestrained propaganda with which we
are deluged at present.

DR.. Gunsaulus, the president OF

has repeatedly urged her TO make an
exhibit, but for various reasons she
has made none in previous years.
When the Art Institute and DIR. Gun

there is no appeal. America has no

Bureau, and David Reid, his singer,
were at the United Chapel last
Thursday morning, according 10 pre-
vious announcement. They were in.
Produced by vice-President Ray
mond, and DR.. Crafts took charge OF
the chapel service.
He read the eighth Psalm and COM
mented on IL as the poetic express
sion OF David's feeling after being
praised for the victory over Go
Hath. Mr.. Reid then sang a solo,
and the Lords Prayer was repeated
by all.
The Doctor then addressed the
students. He said that since the
founding Of our nation twelve great
giant evils had been killed in our
country. Among them were duel
ing. piracy, slavery. lottery, gambl-
ing, the saloon and autocracy.
Bolshevism, he believed, was about
TO receive its death blow. But all
the evils Of the land were not over
come.
The next evil 10 be attacked is
the tobacco habit. The greater part
Of the address was given TO setting
forth its bad effects and an effort to
enlist Berea students in the fight
against il. The abstinence OF the
Japanese from its use, as they
trained for. their victory over the
Russians, was used in support Of his
statements against the evil.
A law prohibiting the use of TO-
bacco by students, especially state
school, was urged. Tobacco lessons
ones ability in school, and the state
has a right to demand that each
student refrain from anything that
lessons his ability to get the most
out Of the opportunities offered.
