WASHINGTON. June 31.—la prob-
ably one of tho moot Important race
{Sec la Iona la Ita blatory. the aupreme
court today aanulled aa uncoaatltu*
tional the Oklahoma coaalltutlonal
amendment and the Anaapolla, Md
voter*' qualification taw restricting
tho auffraie right* of thooe who coul
not vote prior to the ratification oi
tho fifteenth amendment to tho fed
oral coaatltutlon.
Chief Juatlce White, a native of
the aouth, announced tho court’a do
clalon, which waa unanlmoua except
that Juatlce McReyuolda took no part
la tho caao. , -
By holding that condition* that ex-
latod before the fifteenth amendment
which provide* that the right to vote
Shall mot be denied or abridged on
account of race, color or prevloua
condition of aervltude, could not be
Nrougbt over to the preaent day In
diarogard of thla aelf executing a-
mondment. It la generally believed
that the court went a long way to-
ward InvalidaUng much of the ao-
called “grandfather clauaea" legiala-
tlon of aouthern atatea.
The Immediate effect of the court'*
declaion waa to uphold the conviction
of two Oklahoma election official*
who denied negroes the right to vote
In a congressional election and to
award three Maryland negroea dam-
ages from election officials In Anna-
polis who refused to register them.
The court held that these election of-
ficials could not Ignore the potency
of the fifteenth amendment in wip-
ing out of the state.constitutions the
nurd “white’’ aa a qualification tor
voting.
in the Maryland case the court’s
decision established the point that
the fifteenth amendment applied alike
to municipal aa well aa to federal
elections.
Discussing the Oklahoma case Chief
Juatlce White said the suffrage
amendment to the state constitution
first fixed a literacy standard and
then followed It with a provision cre-
ating a standard based upon the con-
dition existing upon January 1, 1866,
prior to the adoption of the fifteenth
amendment and eliminated those com
Ing under that standard from the In-
clusion In the literacy test.
The court bad difficulty, he raid, in
finding words to more clearly demon-
strate Its conviction that th’s action
of the state recreated and perpetu-
ated the very conditions which the
fifteenth amendment was Intended to
destroy than the language uard in
the amendment.
“It Is true,’’ continued the chief
Justice, “that it contains no express
standard Itself Inherently brings that
result late existence since It Is based
purely upon a period ef time before
the eaactawat of the fifteenth a-
meadmeat sad makes that period the
coatrolllag a ad dominant test of the
Hght af suffrage.
“la other words we seek In vain foi
any ground which would sustain any
other Interpretation but that the pro
vision, recurring to the conditions ex-
under any form of government, or
who at that time resided in some
foreign nation, and no Unsal dee
Cendant of such person shall be de
nied the right to register and vote
because of bis Inability to ao read
and write sections of such constitu-
tion.”
In Maryland the clause was Insert
ed in laws governing elections In
various cities. In 1908, It was Insert-
Istlag before the fifteenth amendment I ed In the law governing municipal
prohibited, proposed by la substance j elections In the city of Annapolis. It
and effect, lifting those conditions . authorised the registration as voters
over l period of time after the ! of all taxpayers of the city assessed
amendment to make them the basis ; for at least 3500; all duly naturalised
of the right to aaffrage conferred in
direct sod positive disregard of the
fifteenth umeudmeut. And the same
result, we are of opinion, la demon-
strated by considering whether It la
passible to discover any basis of rea-
son for the standard thus fixed other
than the purpose above stated.
"Wo say tbls because we are un-
able to discover how unleaa the pro-
hibitions of the fifteenth amendment
were considered, the slightest reason
was afforded for baaing the classifi-
cation upon u period of time prior to
the fifteenth amendment. Certainly
It cannot be said that there waa any
peculiar necromancy In the time
named which engendered attributes
affecting the qualifications to vote
which would not exist at another and
different period unless the fifteenth
amendment waa la view."
The chief Justice bad prefaced this
statement by n development of the
argument that the restriction Imposed
by the fifteenth amendment on .the
power of the states over suffrage was
coincident with the Hmlta of the
power Itself. He also set forth the
principle that while In the true sense
the fifteenth amendment gives no
“right” of suffrage, ‘Mt was long ago
recognised that In operation Its pro-
hibition might meaaureably have that
effect; that Is to say that as the
command of the amendment was self
executing and reached without legis-
lative action the conditions of dis-
crimination against which it waa .aim-
ed the result might arise that ns a
consequence of the striking down of
discriminating clause a right of
suffrage would be enjoyed by reason
of the generic character of the pro-
vision which would remain after the
discrimination was stricken out."
Tbls was said by way of answer to
the argument of attorneys for the
election officials that the fifteenth
amendment Was meanlng'ess be-
cause there was no such thing undcr
the American form of government as
q “right’’ to vote.
For more than fifteen years the
Qraudfather Clause” has been In-
serted In the constitutions of south-
^bltlzens of 21 years of age, and “all
citizens, who prior to January 1,
IMS, were entitled to vote In the
state of Maryland or any other state
of the United States at a stale elec-
tion, and the lawful male descendants
of any person who prior to January
1, 1868 were entitled to vote in the
state of Maryland or In any other
state of the United States at a state
•Junction
Various arguments were advanced
to meet the attack that these clauses
violated the fifteenth amendment to
the constitution providing that “the
right of citizens of tho United States
to vote shall not be denied or abridg-
ed by the United States or by any
state on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude.”
Another line of argument was that
the clauses did not “deny or abridge’’
the-right ot negroes to vote, as for-
bidden by the fifteenth amendment
but It merely discriminated against
them by allowing those not negroes
to vote without meeting the qualifi-
cations Imposed ostensibly upon all.

WILLIAMS FOR SENATOR?
Oklahoma City, June 34—That Gov-
ernor Williams expects to raa against
Senator Robert L Owoa for tho
United States Be Bate whea hi* term
aa Governor expires, or at bust that
the friends of the Governor are build
Ing a machine for the purpose of aid-
ing a candidacy, to the firm belief
of many of the Owen supporters In
the state who recall the ancient riv-
alry between Owen and Will am* for
the leadership of the Democratic par-
ty In 1 he old Indian .Territory.
In support of tbta belief they are
caljing attention to the fact that Wil-
liams Is supposed to be responsible
for the defeat la the recent Legis-
lature of an act which if passed
would have prohibited the Qovernor
of the state from being a candidate
for the United Staten Senaie within
two years after hi* term expired.
This despite the fact that the Demo-
cratic state platform has declared In
favor of such o restriction.
The fact that the appointees of
•Governor Williams pave been uni
forinly from the southern and eastern
parts of the statu. In counties having
heavy Democratic vote and when
Williams for Senator" works's wnul
be most valuable during the primary,
is taken aa aa Indication of the ma-
chine which la thing built for the
1918 primary.
Control of the electlou machinery
is, however, the surest means 10 suc-
cess In the Democratic primary and
It Is understood that because of this
fact some of William’s lieutenants
it|ave urged him to Ignore the law
which requires the Governor to se-
leet as tho Republican member of
the State Election Board one of the
five men whose names were submit-
ted to him by State Chairman Ar-
thur H. Gelssler on behalf of the
Republican State Committee, and
name Instead soma man wbo will
always be willing to .work w.th A. L.
Walker wbo la the Oovorno ’a ’ ap-
pointee for the position of Demo-
cratic representative on the State
Election Board. Should Williams
thus possess a majority of the Board
there would be little to fear from
Joe Morris, the Secretary of the
Board, who while a Democrat and
friendly to the administration, Is said
to be very Independent and la under
no obligation to the Governor for
ifela position.

Representative Ball was met by
the News r< porter Wednesday morn-
ing who asked him to give an ac-
count of his stewartship while In thi
legislature last session. "Well, you
see 14 was like this" said Mr. Ball,
“I was placed In the most embarr-
assing position I ev. r ran up against
Over iai the east part of the county
I received over twice as many votes,
as I did in Collinsville, hence to re-
present a majority of my constltu-
necy, I was compelled to vote and
work to keep Collinsville in Rogers,
county, much as I love Collinsville,
much as I respect her citizens. I
could do nothing but what 1 did and
hold any Influence in the legislature
at all. Had I have gone back on my
people no one would have had con-
fidenee In me. Rogers County could
nol afford to loose two million dollars
valuation."
Personally no one can blame Mr.
Ball for staying with what his con-
victions tells him is right, but it
makes It very Inconvenient for Col-
linsville people to get to the county
seat. News would suggest that Col-
linsville be connected with Claremore
fey an airship line as nothing short
of this would be of any service these
high water day*.
Mr. Ball waa the author of one of
h dozen road bills Introduced In the
legislature. The good road advo-
cates got together and formulated 11
bill which goes Into effect on the
23, day of thla month. This bill pro-
vides for a county highway officer,
who will be appointed soon under the
new law.

pose of building county road*, each

In th* Sunday edition of the Tulia
World the tint torpedo was fired off
in support of Harry Sinclair, multi
millionaire baseball and oil magnate
of Tulaa, for national committeeman
of the republican party from Okla-
homa.
The World la In the extremes In Its
boost ot Mr. Sinclair and very se-
vere In passing Judgment on the pres
ent and past committeemen, as fol
lows;
"Jim Harris never asked for an ap
polntment, principally, because, just
at the time he got hla machine to
working In good shape, there was 1
democratic landslide, and the repub
llcau party has been on the outside
looking In ever since, with no Jobs
to hand out. So It It gratifying to
have a man who has money enough
to pay hla own expenses down to
Washington when It U necessary to
go for the benefit of the party, and
one who will not have to put up at a
wagon yard or soak his watch to get
back home, and a man who will acorn
a "Job" but work for the benefit ol
the party for love of the party—not
greed for gore or mercenary aggrand-
izement. Harry Sinclair will not be
candidate In'the sense of seeking
the office, but It Is the conscientious
belief of The World that he will ac-
cept it If offered and we do not hes-
itate to say that no better man could
be chosen. He has every quallflcatloi
for the position. He has never been
identified with any particular faction
of the party, and he Is nobody's can-
didate He would be an ideal man
upon whom to center to heal any lit-
tle sores that may have grown up in
the past."
The World Intimates that should
the present committeeman, Jainis
Harris ot Wagoner, be retained for
another term, the republican 0’arty
would be represented In the wagon
wards and pawnshops of the National
City. But this Intimation Is absurd
and Injurious so far as the World is
concerned, as the editor of the Mes-
senger has known Committeeman Hai
ris personally for a number of years
md knows him to he a successful
business man, a staunch supporter ot
the republican party, a friend to the
small man, far above the clutches of
poverty, well known and liked In loea
and national circles of the party.
Mr. Sinclair la strongly supported
by the World because he is a mul-
timillionaire oil and baseball magnate
and that he has never been connect-
ed with the republican party, Is not
known In political circles, and has
not made public hla politics until
recently, and now It is asked that
he be accorded the highly esteemed
office of national committeeman. Sucl
policies and supports have been ad-
ministered by the editor of the World
In recent years In attempt to dictate
to tbls party but have never bad root
enough to grow to maturity.
We are satisfied with the pust pol-
icies and record of the present com
.mltteeman and think It would be u
right move In according him this of-
fice for another term. The wounds
caused by differences In the past
campaign have all been healed, the
people are for barrls, we are for him.
and he will be re elected to succeed
himself as national committeeman, ao
let It be Harris.

between 12 and 2 o'clock yesterday
morning. Oscar Plant, who sleeps In
the drug store next door, was aroused
by the report. Ills bed Is next to

CHICKS
Never feed the chicks beforo
they are 36 hours old, 48 hours is
still better. Nature has provided
them with enough food to last them
this length of time and It Is qulto
necessary that they have plenty of
Ume to digest It before more li
given them. The first feed should
be a little chick grit or fin.- parti-
cles of sand after which the yolk of
A hard boiled egg mixed with dried
bread crumbs should be fed for
three or four days, then feed a good
quality of commercial chick food
which does not contain too much corn
or millet, until the chicks arc old
enough to eat whole grain.
EVERY ONE LOVES A HORSE
If a small hoy were ask. d to cIiooh*
between ownership of a pony and
ownership of an automobile he would
unhesitatingly choose the pony.
So loug aa the natural, unapol' d
Instincts of the human heart have
any power the horse will retain his
placo In our affections. No machine
ever Invented by the Ingenuity of
mao can compare In charm with an
intelligent, well trained and affection-
ate horse, lie Is not merely a de-
vise for getting you over the ground.
He U a companion and a friend. His
soft muzzle in your hand Is more de-
lightful than the kickback of tho
starting crank of an automobile.
When the railroad trains displaced
the stagecoaches the horse did not
disappear. Men "traveled more and
farther. That was all the effect the
new mode of locomotion had. And
the motorcar Ins not displaced tho
horse either. There arc more horses
In the country today than there went
ten years ago. The new devise for
getting over th" ground has made
business for Itself, w hilt; leaving tie;
horse undisturbed In his position of
supremacy .
The indoor horse shows which have
