Presbyterianism has always had
more or less to do with the Gov
ernment of the United States in the
sense that it furnished a large per
centage of its leaders. This is par
ticularly true with regard to the
present administration, as President
Wilson. Vice President Thomas R.
Marshall and Secretary William Jen
nings Bryan are prominent elders In
the Presbyterian churches of which
they are members. There are also
other members of the Cabinet who
are Presbyterians. No doubt this
fact will be mentioned not a few
times at the coming assembly, hut it
lias long been boasted by the Pres
byterians of this country that the
form of the United States Govern
ment Hgd its origin in the Presby
terian church. Indeed, it is almost
an exact copy of the system which
has been In operation in the Presby
terian Church since its organisation.
I he General Assembly Im the high
est Judicatory of the Presbyterian
t Miurob.
Besides the assembly there are oth
er judicatories in the various States,
cities and more local groups, but In
every case the form of government
is thoroughly representative of the
people, and thoroughly democratic in
its administration, and the represen
tatives in every Judicatory are made
up equally of minister's and laymen,
excepting in the local church, where
it is mode up entirely of laymen, wilh
the minister as presiding officer,
view of this fact, the possibilities in
an average General Assembly are
great when It comes to a question of
doing things quickly and thoroughly,
for here It is actually believed that
"the voice of the people is the voice
of God." With the Presbyterians
nothing ever "happens." It has been
"predestined" from the beginning of
time, hut in spite of this apparent
fatalistic view, the most thorough
democracy of opinion prevails at a
General Assembly, for the commis
sioners have Just as profound a con
viction with regard to the doctrine of
the "free will" of man. With such a
combination there is the utmost lib
erty and confidence in legislative af
fairs, as w'ell as a grimness which
makes the proceedings of an assem
bly very real.
Lack of Men to Join Clergy
Is Presbyterian Trouble
The work of over a thousand wom
en, local and visiting, will be one of
the biggest features of the great gen
eral assemblies of the Presbyterians
opening in Atlanta next *ttiursday.
Besides lending their support to the
\arious religious movements and at
tending the general night gatherings
at the Auditorium and the social fea
tures of the week, they will have sep
arate assemblies all their own. These
a ssemblies will go on at the same
time as the sessions of the ministers,
but in different buildings. This is
tarrying out the usual custom ob
served oy the Presbyterian women’s
general organizations to meet yearly
in the same city and on the same
days as the national assemblies of
their laymen
As early as Tuesday women dele
gates and missionaries from all parts
of the United States will begin to
arrive, and according to local ma
trons, they arc going to be royally
entertained,while they are here. They
will be met at the station by Atlanta
hostesses, who will pin badges on
them and take them under their
wings, as it were.
Two Assemblies of Women.
The missionaries—about twenty in
number—will be entertained directly
in Atlanta homes, as well as a group
of fourteen women composing the
Synodical Board of the Southern
Presbyt-rian Church. As is usual,
the expenses of regular delegates will
he paid by their home bodies sending
them as representatives, but local
women have spotted boarding houses
end hotels for them and will J^ee to
it that they are escorted or directed
to them in proper style.
There will be two women’s assem
blies—the Presbyterian U. 8. A., or
Northern, and the Southern Presby
terian The United Presbyterian or
ganization for some reason set Its
general meeting at a later date and
In another city.
The organization of the Southern
Presbyterian women is known as the
Women’s Council, and its sessions
w ill be closed, as is customary'. They
will crowd their program into three
days, and will begin Wednesday, u
day ahead of the men’s general as
semblies and the women of the
Northern Presbyterian Church, and
end their sessions Friday afternoon.
These meetings will be in the North
Avenue Church house, which adjoins
the church where the Southern Pres
byterians win be meeting.
Northern Presbyterian Women.
The Northern Presbyterian Wom
en will have a lengthier program, ex
tending from Thursday afternoon at
-:30 o’clock to the Tuesday afternoon
following. Their organizations to be
represented are the Women’s Boards
of both home and foreign missions,
and these meetings, which will be
open to the public, will be in the
Central Congregational Church, in
close proximity to the Baptist Tab- !
ernacle, where the Northern Presby
terian men will auemb'e,
While it is necessary to meet in
separate sessions on account of their
separate organizations, one Atlanta
woman said Saturday:
"We’re not going to feel at all
that we’re separate church peoples—
don’t you believe it! We women are
going to have one great organized
good time together!"
For this reason a large luncheon
at which both the delegates and mis
sionaries of the Northern and South
ern Presbyterian women will be
guests, has been arranged at the
Piedmont Driving Club Saturday at
1 o’clock. As this is the day set for
the large reception to both men and
women of the general assemblies, the
women will go immediately from the
club to Agnes Scott College. The
luncheon is to be a beautiful affair,
and has been arranged under the su
pervision of Mrs. John Grant and a
committee of women she appointed to
assist her in making it a success.
Vunaheon at Capital City.

nence will be a luncheon Friday at 1
o’clock at the Capital City Club to
be given especially for the fourteen
women of the Southern Presbyterian
Synodical Board. representing as

tee of the local Southern Presbyterian
Society. Mrs. Clyde King is direct
ing the alfair. It will be followed by
an automobile ride around Atlanta.
While the women offered their
service:, they will not this year serve

GROVER CLEVELAND’S HOME
TO BE KEPT AS MEMORIAL
CALDWELL, N. J.. May 10. -What
color paint was on the Presbyterin .i
mansion w hen Grover Cleveland was
born therein? This is a question
which the members of the Grov ~
Cleveland Memorial Association,
which now owns the property, is try
ing to ascertain with the view to
making the building again look as it
did on that historic occasion.
Opinions differ among the old resi
dents, but in view of the fact that
white was the prevailing color Tor
mansions years ago the committee s
likely to adopt it.
The committee is having needed re
pairs made and before July 4 expe -
to have the building in shape for in
spection.

VARDAMAN ASKS NEW
LAWS TO RULE NEGRO
Continued From Page 1.
#
tion; still they furnish more than
60 per cent of the criminals.
It is a discouraging fact that
each decade shows an increase of
crime among the negroes as a race.
Education cannot solve it. Chris
tianization will not solve it. The
only solution is a practical appli
cation of the law to restrain the
criminal tendency of the race and
fix his status in society. That can
not be done until the Fifteenth
Amendment is repealed and the
Foutreenth modified. In truth, no
plan has been proposed for the so
lution. or the partial solution of
the problem, whose application is
not prevented by the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments. Those
barriers must be removed before
anything practical can be done.
As 1 stated a moment ago, the
American people did not approve
these amendments. They are the
children of war—conceived in ha
tred and brought forth in a spasm
of venom and revenge. They might
properly be characterized jointly as
the Legislative Infamy of Crete. My
desire in this matter is not prompt
ed by hatred for the colored races.
Really 1 think I am the negro's best
friend. 1 understand him perfect
ly in all the relations of life and
all the phases of his character.
And 1 know that the white man
is not going to share with him in
the government of this country
where he Is In large enough num
bers to imperil the supremacy of
the white race. If the negro is
encouraged to aspire to the unat
tainable it will provoke a conflict
between the races. And we all
know that in the conflict all the
dead attrition will be on the side
of the weaker race. The white
is going to control this country if
It means the absolute annihilation
of every one of the colored races.
The Anglo-Saxon is as conscience
less as a cancer when It comes to
dealing with any of the inferior
races that Impede in any way the
pathway of progress* or threaten
the destruction of his own civiliza
tion.
Change of L*ws Urged.
It is impracticable to deport the
negro; but we can change the or
ganic law of the nation and bring
about perfect social and political
segregation. We can have a gov
ernment by law and prevent the
friction which will necessarily re
sult if w'e do not. There should be
separate coaches on the railroads
and on the street cars; and if the
negro is to remain in the public
service, he should be put to him
self. In other words, there should
be no commingling of the races at
all. Intermarriages should be pro
hibited and all social Intercourse
discouraged. Now, can this be
brought about by law? To my
own mind, there is not the slight
est doubt. It must be done. When
the white people of America under
stand the question in all of its
phases they are going to do it, not
only for the protection of the while
race, but also for the salvation of
the negro race. It is the most im
portant question that confronts the
civilization of the century. As a
matter of fact, all other issues, po
litical and social and business, pale
into utter nothingness compared in
importance to it. The integrity of
the race, the peace and purity of
the white man’s home and the per
manency of the white man’s civ
ilization and the life of the negro
race ar^ all involved. I am going
to press this matter before Con
gress at the proper time. And then
i am going before the American
people and endeavor to teach them
the truth regarding it. My heart
Is in the effort because it means so
much for my country.
