Minister i'm Plea
for PrOtestants
To Adopt Rosary


MEADVILLE. Pa, March T.
Adoption of the rosary by Protes-
tant churches for use in prayer has
been advocated by DIR. James A.
Beebe, president of Allegheny Col
lege.
Speaking before the students of
the college, DR.. Beebe said that
Protestant prayer had fallen short
I'm that 1t lacked system to permit
controlled meditation. He said the
Catholic rosary provided definite
symbols which held the mind to
the meditation at hand and he sug
gested that the rosary might be
utilized to advantage by other
churches.
"Protestants are continually be-
ing urged, but seldom told how to
pray" DIR. Beebe said. with the re-
suit that the mind is permitted to
wander, resulting in reverie rather
than meditation. BY using the
rosary we would have definite SYM
bols from which visual pictures
could be taken, holding the mind to
the meditation at hand.
The only difference between
reverie and meditation" he as
serted, sis that one represents un-
controlled thought while the other
stands for controlled and directed
thought, out of which some per-
manent good may come"
Prayer Is only an exercise in
thinking, at least until the point
when 1t carries away the soul is
reached, the college head said.
Before coming to Allegheny,
Methodist institution, DIR. Beebe
was dean of the School of Theology
at Boston University.

PLAN TEXAS VOTE
LAW MOD|F|CAT|
Democrats Prepare to Sup
plant Statute on Primaries
Held Unconstitutional.

AUSTIN, Tex, March S.-Texas
Democrats plan a modified law to
suppiant the statute denying negroes
the right to vote in primary elections,
which was held unconstitutional by
the United States Supreme Court.
Failure of many negroes to prop
erly qualify as voters, including the
payment of poll taxes, also would
prove factor in preventing them
from obtaining control OF any State
election district, political leaders said
today In commenting on yesterday s
decision.
The law prohibiting negroes from
voting In Texas Democratic primaries
was passed in 1923. The measure
specified that should any negro vote
In such an election his ballot would
be thrown out.
Test Case i'm FL PasO.
The test case was brought by l.. A.
Nixon, who was refused the right to
vote at FL Paso in an election at
which both Federal and State candi-
dates were selected.
Justice Holmes, who wrote the de.
cision, In which the entire court con.
Cured. found the Texas law was a
direct infringement of the fourteenth
amendment. which mot only gave
citizenship and privileges of citize n
ship to persons Of color. but 1t denied
to any State the power to withhold
from them the equal protection of the
laws"
The court also held the Texas Law
was invalid because color alone can
not he made the basis for a statute
affecting the right TO vote. II also
pointed out that private damages
could he caused by deprivation OF
political rights.
Moody Expects Qualification.
Gov. Dan Moody. who as attorney
general supervised the preparation OF
a brief in the Nixon case, said he be
lieved the State Legislature could
give the party executive committee
power to fix the qualifications of
primary voters without violation of
the provisions of the fourteenth
amendment.
Party leaders throughout the South
west also were studying the question
of Federal control over primaries
brought out by the decision.
Judge Franklin E. kennamer of the
eastern Oklahoma Federal Court dis
trict declared he believed the Supreme
Court had no alternative in it's ruling
on the eligibility of negroes to vote.
Federal Right Established.
Judge Kennamer, who twice inter
vened when questions of negro regis
tration were raised. said the right OF
the Federal Government to supervise
public balloting apparently was well
established in cases where State
statutes supersede Federal laws.
Estimates show there are approx
mately 100000 negroes in Texas. Few
of them ever have qualified to vote
Although more than 900 900 persons
pay poll tax in Texas the total vote
cast seldom totals 100000. More than
so per cent of the voters are register
ed as Democrats.
