1t happens that the year 1920
is historically doubly significant
in that exactly three hundred year
ago the 30th day of July, last,
there was convened in jamestown
the first legislature assembly to
meet on American soil. Further,
that November 11th not only is
the memorable day of the begin
ming of the Armistice that closed
the great world war but it is as
we'll the three hundredth anniver-
sary of the signing Of that remar-
liable "Mayfiower Compact" by
which the Pilgrim Fathers polite
ally bound themselves together,
and first established the priciples
of civil and religious liberty and
put into practice a genuine DEM
ocracy.
The President Of the United
States, following the National
custome Of more than half CEN
tury, has designated Thursday,
November 25, 1920, as day of
Thanksgiving and Prayer.
Now, therefore. on this Thanks
giving Day let us gratefully re-
ioice that these institutions altho
aboriously conceived were firmly
established; that they have been
luccessfully maintained; and from
generation to generation have
been handed down vital, vigorous
and unimpaired. And on that day
in public and in private, in church,
in school, and in our homes let us
pray that God may continue us a
free, equal, independent people;
| that He give us courage, wisdom
and strength to undertake the new
responsibilities constantly develop
ing unon us and finally that He
aid and guide us to be faithful to
the PRINCIPLES and high ideals of
the Pilgrim Fathers clean, un-
tarnished Americanism.

ators and representatives who voted against it to the last roll call
 A Democratic congress, under lead ership of President Wilson, refused to pass the amendment. It was not until the Republicans gained control of house and senate that the amend, ment was passed.
 Twenty-nine Republican states vot- ed to ratify the nineteenth amend ment, and only seven Democratic states. Seven Democratic states re, fused to ratify. The Republicans can well claim the credit for ratification of the nineteenth amendment Prac. tically all the opposition to women suffrage came from the bourbon south.
 In the south the negro is now dis. franchised by various devices which effectively destroyed his political rights as an American citizen under tue toilSlltutlOil. ue IteIdCy leSt, property qualifications, the grand father clause" which requires the voters father or grandfather to have served in the Confederate army, or plain shotgun tactics" are resorted to by the white political bosses to keep the negro away from the polls. These maneuvers succeed and few negroes are allowed to vote in any of the southern states. If the negro insists on his constitutional privilege he soon disappears" according to Henry Linclon Johnson, national Re publican consmitteeman from Georgia. himself a colored man.
 There are approximately 100000 negro women of voting age in the south. Under the white domination and the terrorist tactics of the south ern politicians practically all ot them are disfranchised now, despite the nineteenth amendment. It is pre- posterous to suppose that if the ne gro man is not allowed to vote in the south the negro women will be given the ballot.
 In the northern states, where the negro can vote on a parity with the white man, the negro voter in the Mo- vember election will hay an oppCr. tunity to avenge, in a measure, the political disfranchisement of his brothers and sisters in the south. But he can register his indignation only voting the Republican ticket.

PLANES REACH FIRESQUICKER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (by Asso- ciated Press. .)-Aairplane forest pa trols in California were able recently to reach the scene of a fire forty-five hours sooner than had they proceed ed by train and pack mule, a report to the army air service shows. An aerial observer spotted its blaze in Lassen forest while all foresters were engaged in fighting another fire in the Merced forest. Planes picked up the fire-fighters in the Merced zone and rushed them to the Lassen fire.
 "In three hours" says the report, ''the fire fighting personnel was on the job fighting the flames, whereas, had they proceeded by train and pack mule. AS hours would have been con stunned.

Colored Women of South Deprived of Privileges of
 Nineteenth Amendment
Rights of Coored Race and Even Shotgun Tactics Resorted to by White Political Bosses Keep Negroes Away From Polls

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 13. - Especial COrrespondence) - Though the woman suffrage amendment is now part of the constitution, and women of the republic are on politi- cal equality with men, there are two sections of the country where women will not exercise the privileges guaranteed under the nineteenth amendment
 In the southern states the negro women will not be allowed to vote, no more so than the negro men. In the District of Columbia, the national capital. which is completely disfran- chiSed, neither men nor women can vote, even for municipal officials.
 It is a fact taken for granted in the sixteen southern states that ne gro women, despite ratification of the nineteenth amendment, cannot use the newly won ballot In the south the negro man is not allowed to vote --a fact well known to every south erner and to all northern people who are conversant with political condi- tions throughout the country.
 Since the end of reconstruction days the whites have politically dominated the sixteen southern states. The cor ner stone of this domination has been disfranchisment of the negro. Were this not so and the negro allowed to yote on an equality with the whites in this section. there would be no more solid south" Instead most of the southern states would be Re- publican, for the negro, when he does vote, is always found in the Re publican column. It could not be otherwise as it was the Republican party, under the immortal Lincoln, that abolished slavery. The Demo- cratic party has disfranchised the negro in the south.
 During the campaign to pass the nineteenth amendment through con- gress, southern senators and repre- sentatives served notice on suffrage advocates that if the amendment was ratified the south proposed to nullify it as far as the negro women were concerned In the final lineup when the nine. | teenth amendment was passed by congress, it was the southern sen.
