Are the War Amendments Beyond Reach of Repeal? By Sam W. Small. ‘Do party platform declarations bind the party, or the people who once indorse them, forever after?” This Is an important question in the moral ethics of politics in this country and especially appeals to the righteous and statesmanlike sense of republicans and democrats alike at this era of the national history. Many republicans are asking for rm anti-trust and free raw materials revision of the protective tariffs made in fulfilment of republican platforms of the past. These republicans evidently believe that with changing conditions party policy not only could bo, but should be changed in the direction of larger benefits to the people. Other republicans are challenging their party to change its avowed purposes and policy in the Philippines, declaring it un- American and violative of the fundamen tal ideas ill it made the foundations of the party. A Demand on the Democracy. Also, and on the other hand, the re publican leaders have the way of as serting the “eternal persistence" of plat form utterances—by th- other party. For instance they are now, in their news papers and on their platform, denounc ing the agitation of the legislative repeal or judicial testing of the validity of the fifteenth arrmidment. when discussed by mccrat ; i - ion of the pledges f the democracy in 1876. In that year tie democratic platform contained the following declaration: “We do here reaffirm * * our devotion t.-> the cimstlt ution of the Felted States with its amendments universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversy •■■l. red the ch il war." And now the republicans contend that ev ry de:u< ; rat is bound and estopped by tli.-i: plank fr m everything otherwise as to those am> t. Iments. . specially the fil ternth. even should the United States su preme court finkily adjudge that it was nev - constitutionally passed by congress or ratified by the states.

A. g I 1861 the southern people let their pas- ; sions outrun their prudence and political j sagacity. i The Amendment That Failed. i The expiring congress of the Buchanan j regime, on March 2. 1861, tw'o days : before the inauguration of Abraham Din- i coin, adopted an amendment, to be known : as “tile thirteenth amendment” to the ■ constitution. It was certified to the sev eral states and read as follows: "Article 13. No amendment siia’d be I made to the constitution which will an- i thorize or give to congress the power to > abolish or interfere within any stale with i the domestic institutions thereof, inclucl- . ing that of persons held to labor or ser- ; I vice by the laws of said state.” I This article was acted upon in some i | of the states, but not by a majority of ! : them, and 1 leave not at hand the record , ! of wha.t state legislatures voted upon : i it or which ones voted to adopt it or to : i reje.t it. I only know it v#s pending j wh» n the southern states began to sever their allegiance to the union. Could He Have Carried? In the presidential election of 1860 ; Lincoln obtained the presidency by the | electoral votes of fifteen states, in which j ; lie obtained republican majorities, two I democratic states that gave him plural- I ■ ities and one that switched its vote from i Douglas to Lincoln. : ! Vet of the thirty-three states then I . composing the union, nineteen of them ■ ! were democratic in their politics, leav- ■ ■ ing only fourteen states that could be : 1 culled republican; in fact, two of these— ; Illinois and Indiana—changed from their ■ d. inoeratic status in 1856 and gave Lin coln majorities of 5,629 and 5,923, re- : spi ctively. It is reasonably certain tin t b'-th these states would have voted f< r | flie amendment, since Lincoln himself vored it. making twenty-one states stir for its rati.'l ation. It has been eoi ■ staritly b-'liivi-d bv men conversant with ; rii.it period that had the south acqii - '■ ■ ■ - d in Lincoln's programme and not revolted so hastily, enough other states ■ could have ben won over to ratify, i th,- amendment and incorporated it in the l federal constitution. Wh-it Would Have Resulted? Had tlm south ihos-n to make her fight further in congress and before the people, instead of by secession and bat- , th . ami the above amendment had been adopted, th chief ,-nds- of Lincoln and , his party would have been satisfactorily accomplished by the non-extension cf I .-.'livery into states and territories that did not desire it. and the south would j li.iv gained the constitutional right rs ' slavery in al! its territory, defended from , further interference by any act. of con- ‘ ■ Tien the negro would have remained ! ia Slav.- in the south until voluntary eman- I ci: ation bv th* ii holders.

PLEA MADE BY PICKENS TO GIVE NEGRO CHANCE Cleveland, Ohio. October 21.—This niorn- I Ing's session of the American Missionary 1 ! Association was largely devoted to pa- i ; pers on the Chinese and Japanese mis- ] I sions, Porto Rico and church work in the ' j south. The feature of tin session was the re- 1 I port on Indian and Alaskan missions, i 1 presented by the Rev. Robert W. .Me- 1 I Laughlin, D.D., of Grand Rapids, Mich. | | He emphasized the fact that the Indians j i are relatively few in numbers. The ne- j . gro questio.n numerically, he said, is ■ forty times as gieat as the Indian ques- i tion. The Indian reservations today, iho I speaker continued, cover an area equ 1 to all the New Eng.and states. New York, New Jersey and half of Pennsylvania. • The Indian has in the vaults of the Unite I I Slates government $240,000,000. If inis i money .should b<- divided equally among . ! them and the 250,000 receiving it should ■ go upon separate reserves as a nut ion i , they would constitute, per capita, tin; ■[ i wealthiest people upon the face of the i ; earth. i Thwing’ on Southern Education. 1 Dr. Thwing, in his report on educa- j tion in the south, said: i "The question is whether the negro ; shall be regarded as a man.

Address of William Pickens. “A Plea for Opportunity” was made by William Pickens, a senior of Yale uni versity, the colored student who won the historic Ten Eyck award of first prize in oratory last year. In substance he said: "America Is an opportunity for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness; an op portunity for the ignorant to learn, the lowly to rise and aspire. Today ten mil lions of her population, mongrel in blood and motley in hue, arc knocking at the door of this very opportunity. For 250 years of drudging toil they received the pay of freedom from physical bonds, but not from the moral and intellectual thral dom to which that period had so thor oughly made them slaves. This more, sub tle slavery can be removed only by the slow, slow progress of the evolution of mind and character. "To this more onerous but nobler task the American Missionary Association ad dressed itself Immediately after the war. Her teaeh.-r and missionary stepped into the clearing smoke of battle with a trut.it and gospel might.er than armies, and the word of life mingled with the death echo of the gun The sacrifice and heroism ot her workers are esteemed by a grateful race with tne martyrdom of Gettysburg and Fort Pillow. She lias held unswerv ingly to the manly, candid, Christian opinion tha: every man, whatever his race or color, should have a fair chance lor his highest self-realization. "If certain men and classes are su perior. du not legislate and discriminate against the inferior, but give all a free hai.d and the cosmic law of the survival of the fittest wdl du Hie rest. The best stimulus lor Hie sluggish powers of a large part of America's white population wool I be to lift al! h.andicaps from the American negro. That superiority of a race or an individual which has for its 'oiir.dation the ign eanc- of others a::.; measures i’s strength from their weak ness. is the most insignificant kind o' V- rioril y. J f ee- t.-i i n men li: 1 ve a ruts too wt nk for blacksmiths, it is unnecessary to pass laws to hin ler thieir becoming such; if negroes are unlit for th< pro!.-ssions. il is idle lo legislate against their becom ing such Gn the other hand, if tie y are fit for such, then the law is a wrong. Consequently such law Is eilber a dead letti-r or a flagrant injus,-. ■■ and in < itli-r case unworthy of a civilize 1 Christian "It has been stated that negro crimi nals hove multiplied with the progress 1 f edui-atit.n.

But when we go one step further .. id find “hat in fact, it crimi nality does insriasi-. the increase is elusivi-ly among uneducated negroes, then if the increase argues tor anything it argues for more education: it tends to show tli.it the ranks of ignor.in-'e :tro th< hotbed of criminality. The half truth was no argument against uegru eilueation. "How many educated n groes have been guilty of the ct’.ne in which the mon spirit vainly s. ek.i its justili'ation i Such eases can h summed up in one round figure.

"Considered as n race the negro needs -very degree- of education from Tuskegee to S'.'ile; f»■ th- present, the training of the masses must be rudimentary. Yet no reasonable person would deny that a man with the natural abilities of a law Is at much out of place in a black smith shoji as one with Hie qualifications of a f irmer in a professional chair.
