IMPRESSIVE PROGRAM
OELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
OF REBEL CHIEFTAIN
Scholarly Address By Hon. Wm.
Howard Feature of Program
The salient feature of the brilliant ad
dress by Hon. Wm. M. Howard at the
annual eehbration of the birthday of
Jefferson Davis Tuesday by the United
Daughters of the Confederacy was a
comparison of the two great chieftains
of the war of sections, Jeff Davis and
Abe Lincoln.
Mrs. J. Cary Lamar, president of the
U. D. C., presided over the exercises
and the speakers of the occasion. The
hall was most beautifully decorated with
flowers and Confederate flags, the latter
being- old. worn and faded, yet the love
liest emblem of them all, in the eyes
of those present.
The program opened with prayer by
Rev. G. Sherwood Whitney. This was
followed by the hymn sung at the funeral
of the president of the Lost Cause. Miss
Irma Cooper’s rendition of this hymn,
“For All the Saints Who From Their
Labors Rest,” added much to the pleas
ure of the program. The orator of the
day, Hon. Wm. M. Howard, was intro
duced by Hon. Alonzo H. Franklin, who
spoke appropriately of the work of the
U. D. C. and of the speaker of the af
ternoon, who he declared needed no in
troduction to the people of Augusta.
Mr. Howard’s address was one of the
most masterly ever delivered in this sec
tion. His original theme was a com
parison of the two great men, Davis
and Lincoln. While he did great justice
to the ability of the Northern leader,
he proved in brilliant fashion the superi
ority of the Confederate chieftain, his
tribute being one of the most scholarly
and flawless pieces of oratory that has
been heard here in many a day.
At the conclusion of Mr. Howard’s ad
dress, which was greeted with long and
enthusiastic applause, Misses Cooper and
May Long sang another beautiful selec
tion.
The Confederate Crosses of Honor were
then b stowed by Miss Ruth Weigle, cus
todian of crosses, upon the following vet
erans: Pleasant Busbee, Co. K, 20th, S.
C. Regt.; John Faulkner, Co. D, Ist S.

DEBATE IN SENATE
ON SUFFRAGE BILL
Borah Opposes It Because It
Would Abridge State Rights
of the South Who Would Not
Let Negro Vote
Washington.—Pinal action in the sen
ate on the house resolution tor submis
sion Of the Susan B. Anthony woman suf- j
Huge constitutional amendment was mv- i
Tuesday l) - v debate principally bv '
suffrage opponents, and by discussion of
the peace treaty. Tne resolution was i
made the unfinished business, and it is
beueved that before adjournment Wed- i
nesday the last roll call will be reach- I
ed with adoption apparently assured I
When managers of the resolution I
>\ luch adopted by thtf house two i
weeks uKo, 304 to SS, mu o up hope of a i
vote Tuesday, Chairman Watson of the'
senate woman suffrage committee an
nounced that he would insist on holding
the senate in session Wednesday until tne
final vote was reached.
Senator Watson spoke less than a min
ute m support of me resolution. Senator
I.enroot, republican of Wilconsin, also
urged Its adoption. Senators Bead of
Missouri, and Unuerwood, of \labam i
democrats, and Borah, republican of UiA
lio. made tile principal addresses against
the measure.
The senate rejected. 58 to 17. an amend
men by Senator llarison, democrat of
Mississippi, limiting benefits of tl»o pio-
POSed equal franchise to white cltiv.ens
An amendment by Senator Underwood
lott pending when the senate adjourned
would provide that popular state conven
tions instead of state legislatures should
act on tne proposed amendment to the
constitution.
Abridge State Rlflhts.
Speakers against the resolution took as
tlieir argument that the franchise mea
sure would abridge state rights and im
pair popular government. Senator Len
root. in replying to Senator Borah, de
nied that popular governmertt would suf
fer, and asserted that it would be pro
moted instead.
in opposing the resolution, Senator Reed
renounced it as an “outrage upon our
form of government .
“It is as undemocratic a thing as ever
was attempted/’ said the Missouri sena
tor
Militant suffrage work* rs were criticls
ed sharply by Senator Reed, who declared
they “gloried" in jail sentences imposed
for picketing the W hite J louse and other
acts.
Borah on the South.
Senator Borah contended that ratifica
tion of the amendment by three-fourths
of the states would override ruthlessly—
by “Prussianism,” he termed it—the
rights of a few opposing states. 110
brought up the negro question .and de
clared that even with adoption of the
resolution, negroes in the South would not
be allowed to vote, and that the consti
tutional amendment, therefore, would bo
“a solemn lie’’.
While explaining he was not defending :
the South, because that section of the
country has able representatives who are
able to do that. Senator Borah opposed
the imposition of woman suffrage on
states which, because of existing condi- j
tions, are opposed to it.
“I don't believe,” Senator Borah said,
"that the South is prepared for universal
suffrage. 1 don’t believe conditions are
such as to justify this situation to be
imposed on the people of the South."
The South, he said, is dealing with the
conditions in the best way possible, and
were this question left to a vote, ho Haiti,
in his opinion, the people in the Southern
States would not approve it. For that
reason to impose such conditions upon
'slates without their consent, Senator Bo
ah declared, is "Prussianism pure and
, simple”.
"I wil ask the democratic side of the
| chamber," lie declared, do you propose
! o go home and set* that this provision
which gives the vote to several million
negro women is faithfully carried out.
"I will ask the republican side, “do you
propose to use the power if you haxe it,
'mi see that this provision is faithfully
i carried out?"
Senator Borah got a reply from Senator
iVilliams, democrat of Mississippi, when
to declared the suffrage amendment
would be as ineffective in the South as
the negro enfranchisement amendment
an'd added that the latter was "as dead
a letter as if it were written in the pri
vate memorandum of the exiled czar of
Germany.”
"I challenge the senator,” said Senator
Williams, "to find in the constitution or
laws of Mississippi or any other southern
state a word, or Jot or tittle of discrimi
nation against the negro on account of
color.’*
"Just the Fame," replied Senator Borah,
"the negro does not vote.”
"No. for several reasons. Some are dis
qualified on account of education, some
because they don't pay their taxes, some
because they have committed felonies or
misdeeds involving moral turpitude.”
“No matter how' the juggling takes
place," rejoined the Idaho senator "the
result is that the negro does not vote
because he is black
“But on this question.” continued Mr.
Borah “there has been little enough dif
ference between the two parties." He
added: , , .
"Neither on my side of this chamber
nor upon your nul> Ik It expected that this
amendment will be In tht-_ South anything
more than a dead litter."
Advocating popular conventions to pass
upon the propos'd amendment Instead of
action l).v State legislatures. Senator Un
derwood said the constitution provides
both methods, subject to the will of con
gress. and that popular nction would be
a fairer method
The Alabama senator also Invelgned
against centralization of authority Ir. the
federal government encourachment upon
state'powers. Me declared the resolution
involved not the institution of women
voting but whether the fundamental
principles of local self-eovormncnt should
continue.
