that the Congress and the several States shall have concurrent
power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation as
WIDE as the BOILING and FREEZING POINTS OF

successfully evaded the South by State statutes OF divers
descriptions and when the occasion positively demanded It,
in order to doveta with southern sentiment by actual denial

Consequently, it is an old story which describes grand
father clauses and constitutional whereby hundreds OF
thousands of qualified Negroes, according to the Fifteenth
Amendment are denied their vote Furthermore 1t Is dis

column few weeks ago, taking this means OF comment

we are eneavong without prejudice, to depart from any

condition of taxation without representation, minimum
degree of enthusiasm in the Negro labor group, and constant
desire to abandon the land Of cotton When this desire has
been coupled with railroad ticket the abandonment has been
conummated and the industrial efficiency OF the South already
weakened by the neglect to keep modern, has waned.
This situation has been plainly revealed in the discussions
in Congress upon the ject Of restricted immigration The
South no more than the North to bind itself up with
foreign labor for aside from the slow growth OF the efficiency
of the foreign worker that class has easier to southern
capital than has In the industrial cities OF the North where
quickly becomes uonized and thus becomes amenabe to
real American control and direction. Hence, the removal OF
Negro labor from the South great that frantic
efforts are being made to induce it to stay South. hus IN

This is apparent in Bmng CHAM iron and steel mills where the
Negro worker is well known producer and where, in many

1t has been only of recent years,
since the coming of woman's eco
nomic independence, that young
girls, as well as young boys, have
left family and friends, to fight
their battles alone.
They have won the right to be
taken seriously when they launch
their careers. They have proved
that girls can win success without
succumbing to the dangers that be
set them.
But the victory has been a costly
one. For the many girls who did
come through unscathed, many 9th
ecs failed, or have paid price far
too great for nominal success.
And so, realizing that sweetness
of the many successes cannot al
leviate the bitterness of the fail
ures, I would give a word of warn
ing with my word of encourage
ment to girls who seek to conquer
the world. and would remind them
that possibility Of success and happi-
ness frequently waits at home, I'M
noticed. while seekers after it wan
der afar.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO THE LITTLE MAR
QUISE, CARE OF THE
SECRET DRAWER

have come to the conclusion,
little Marquise, that heaven is a
place where everybody understands
said this to mother yesterday
when she had come to me in great
trouble because she had tried to
break down the reserve with which
Alice was treating all of us. and
could not do it.
Dear, dear mother! I could not
help contrasting her with John S
another, who is the least understand
ling and the most selfish old woman
have ever known. More than ever
since my fathers death mother has
seemed to get at the heart Of every
thing-except of her daughter Alice.
She makes me feel that if I could
be like her, there would be no more
unhappiness for me in all my mar
ried life.
She said to me yesterday: Dear,
all the sorrow and sin of the world
! is made up of misunderstanding
and the greatest misunderstanding
Of all is our misunderstanding of
the value of work. It is one of the
greatest comforts and consolation of
the world"
This she said to me. little Mar.
! quise, when I had demonstrated
with her for working so hard in the
settling Of her affairs and putting
her house in order.
Sometimes / have thought, Les
lie" she said, and her sad eyes took
on the look OF a sneer, that one
reason we look upon work as a pun
ishment instead Of a panacea is be
cause of that edict that came out
of the@Garden Of Eden when the
first man and woman were driven
out: BY the sweat of your brow
shall We Ive"'
Work, my dear, Is the greatest
blessing IN the world. I could not
have lived these past few days II
my hands and brain had not been
so busy with things outside myself
and my sorrow that l could not
crowd 1t in to either my thoughts or
my heart. I have come TO know
that this work Is the greatest bless
ing in all the world"
Alice who was in the room, spoke
up. II do not think you would
make such a paen on work, mother,
If you could see the children in the
sweatshops and the poor little
slaveys in the poorer places Of Lon
