yaded the stock market at the irregular
opening of today's session. This was
attributed in large part TO overnight
developments, particularly the spread OF
the railroad strike and latest adviccs
dealing with the Franco-Gcrman situa-
tion. There were indication of consider
able short selling based on these factors.
Changes were fractional in the main,
although several of the leading steels
and equipments gained one TO two points.
A firmer tone set IN before the end OF
the FIRST half hour.
PRICES REcEDE AND ADVANCE
(NooS.) The early rally failed TO hold,
fresh selling being induced by reports that
the railroad strike had caused partial
suspension OF operations At western IN
dustrial centcrs. Reactions of one TO
three points were made by speculative
issues and Stromberg lost nine points
but soon recovered most of IT,
Before noon another buying movement
occurred, oils, shippings and equipments
leading the rebound with sugars. some OF
the latter making sensational advances.
The volume OF trading, however, was far
below that of previous days of the week.

of Intelligent, industrious, honest Negroes
be turned over to the County Registers by
that advisory body with recommendation
that the qualifications Of the list for regis.
traton should be legally passed upon?
"This program would be an experiment
worth trying. 1t would not result in any
large addition of Negro voters. 1t would
not endanger white supremacy. 1t could
not lead to Negro supremacy, for such
careful process, if kept up, would neces.
sarily exclude a large proportion Of Negro
residents for years to come. The expert
ment could be continued for some years,
according to the light of results, which
would be determined largely by the course
of the Negro voters themselves.
''It would be a very great stimulus to all
Negroes to right living, to character
growth, to civic progress"
In the language of the street, can you
beat it? This Birmingham suffrage plan
shows just how far astray smitten con-
science can 60, unless it takes the straight
and narrow path.
We say to Editor Glass and to the other
white men Of Birmingham and Alabama
that there is only one relief for smitten
conscience, and that is the old.time re-
igious one of open confession of sin and
What excuse could there be for this COM
plicated process devised by Editor Glass?
In the first place, there is no body of Ne
groes in Birmingham representative
enough or "high-class'' enough to be given
the power to draw up list Of the colored
citizens of that town who should be allowed
to vote And in the next place, there
could be no corresponding committee of
white men Representative" enough or wise
enough or good enough or anything else
enough to be given the power of passing on
that list
But, we ask again, why all this compli-
Gated process, when the State of Alabama
has franchise law which if impartially in
terpreted and administered will solve the
whole problem?
The colored citizens of Birmingham and
Alabama do not ask for any special allow.
aances for them in the franchise laws of
Alabama, nor do they ask for any lowering
OF tn qualifications of the voter. Let those
qualifications be as high as they may; let
them include the reading and translation of
a chapter from the Greek Testament or a
comprehension Of the Einsten Theory of
Relatively, the colored citizens will not COM
plain; provided the qualifications are en-
forced on all citizens alike.
Editor Glass suffrage plan is bad one,
and would not be stimulus to all Negroes
to right living, to character growth and to
civic progress. Instead is would prove only
another opportunity for fraud and chicane.
Nevertheless the plan shows that the white
conscience Of Alabama is not entirely at
rest on this question; and as long as the
conscience is troubled, there is hope that the
sinner will turn from his sinning-N Y.
Age.

TTHE BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA SUF.
FRAGE PLAN

good part of the country IS afflicted
with troubled conscience over the Negro
question. This is because there is an in
creasing number of colored people with
wisdom enough to see to it that the con-
science of the nation gets no rest, is not
allowed to 90 to sleep on the question.
If the Negro would only let the American
people alone and stop reminding them that
they have done and are still doing him
great injustices; if he would only stop max
ing himself a demonstration to them and
the world that American democracy is hy-
pocrisy and sham; if he would only con-
fine himself to proclaiming loud thanks for
what opportunities this country affords him,
and keeping quiet about the denial to him
of natural and common rights the American
people would be grateful, the conscience of
the nation could go to sleep, and the doom
of the Negro in the United States would be
sealed
But the Negro is doing nothing of the
kind. He is holding up the naked, ugly
facts before the face of the nation, no mat
ter which way it turns He is holding up
the mirror to it so that it sees itself as it is.
He will not let the nation escape from con-
templating it's wrong doing; therefore, he
keeps the conscience Of the nation troubled.
And this troubled conscience is not only
evident in the North it also shows itself in
the South. In the South they are ashamed
of it and hate to acknowledge it, but they
can't completely hide it.
Our attention was attracted a few days
ago to case of troublde conscience down
in Birmingham Alabama, over the question
of Negro suffrage. 1t might be thought
that white men down in Alabama are never
conscience-stricken over the question Of
Negro suffrage; but they are. All thought
full white men in the South know and rea-
lie that they are violating the Constitution
Of the United States and are perjuring
themselves when they defraud colored citi-
zens of the right to vote, and it often wor-
ries them They know it can't be kept up
forever, and they wonder sometimes when
and how it will end.
It appears that five prominent colored
citizens of Birming CHAM wrote a letter to the
editor of the Birmingham "News" asking
if something could not be done to give to
intelligent industrious members of their
race the franchise. The 'ENews" published
their letter, and in the same issue Frank
p. Glass, the editor, wrote an editorial in
response. Mr.. Glass wrote in part:
"Why may there not be beginning Of
an experiment in this matter? For instance,
as a suggestion, why should not some rep
resentative body of high-class Negroes be
encouraged to investigate into the standing
and record of several hundred Of the best
Of their race, as they see them? Why could
not that body after such an investigation
certify the list of some limited number of
colored residents to another corresponding
committee of representative white men?
And then why should not the desultant list
