The Undoing Of The FOURTEENTH AND FIFTEENTH AMENDMENTS To The Constitution Of the United States A Paper Read By Lawyer James H. Guy, of Topeka, Kan. Before the National Afro-American Council, At Its Annual Session In St. Paul, Minn., July 9th to 11t '02 4TH YEAR. The Undo FOURTEENTH AND FIFTH To The Constitution A Paper Read By Lawyer Jars Before the National Afro-A annual Session In St. Pauls A citizen owing allegiance to the government is entitled very justly to protection from the government. Again, "No state shall make or enforce any law, which shall abridge the priviliges or immunities of citizens of the United States." What are priviliges and immunities of citizens of the State? "To be protected in life and liberty, to acquire possess and enjoy property, to contract and be contracted with under general laws; to be exempt from inequality in the burdens of government; to establish family relations under the regulations of law; to institute and maintain action of every kind in the courts and to make defense against unlawful violence." It was intended by this amendment to protect in life and liberty, the possession and use of property to every citizen under equal and impartial laws, which govern the entire country. I quote from a letter of Justice Story's to Dr. Francis Lieber in speaking of a work of the latter's entitled, "The State." This, said he, "puts the State up to true foundation—a society for the establishment and administer of general Justice—Justice to all equal and fixed, recognizing individual rights and not imparting them. This recognizes the important truth—in a republican government—the fundamental truth—that the minority have indisputable and unilienable rights—that the majority are not everything and the minority nothing; that the people may do what they please, but that their power is limited to what is just to all society." I quote from the Hon. Charles Sumner who with John Brown, Abraham Lincoln and Frederic Douglass complete a quartett of the most devout and illustrious supporters of human rights that have ever been mentioned in the annals of any country. In his argument so, "Equality before the Law," he said, "These are not vain words. Within the sphere of their influence no person can be created, no person can be born with civil or political priviliges not enjoyed equally by all his fellow citizens; nor can any institution be established recognizing distinction of birth. Here is the great charter of rights of every human being drawing vital breath upon this soil, whatever may be his condition and whoever may be his parents. He may be poor, weak, humble or black—he may be Caucasian Jewish, Indian, or Ethiopian; he may be French, German, English or Irish extraction, but before the constitution these distinctions disappear. He is not poor, weak, humble or black, nor is he Caucasian, Jew, Indian or Ethiopian. Nor is he French, German, English or Irish; he is a man, the equal of all his fellowmen. He is one of the children of the state, which like an impartial parent regards all its offspring with equal care. To some it may justly allow higher duties, ac- --- cording to higher capacities; but it welcomes all to its equal hospitable board. The state initiating the Divine justice is no respector of persons." The Article further says, "No state shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." (In the light of several happenings since the adoption of this amendment the most skeptical is almost constrained to a belief in the doctrine of inspired writers. If ever there were such, I now ready to declare the framers of the amendment were thus endowed. With the rights and securities of citizens so well guarded as they were before the passage of this article, who but the most wise of statesmen would have seen the necessities for it—who but one inspired as of God.) A very able writer has said, "The securities of individual rights cannot be too frequently declared nor in too many forms of words; nor is it possible to guard too vigilantly against the encroachments of power, nor to watch with too lively a suspicion the propensity of persons in authority to break through the 'cobweb chains of paper constitutions'." And the writer adds in a note, "It is not often that legislatures are so reckless as to disregard, openly and boldly, the restrictions of the constitution from which they derive their authority; but it cannot be denied that sometimes when desirous to accomplish something that the spirit and intent of the constitution forbid they question with close and technical nicety the words employed, in order to discover whether it may not be possible to keep within the letter of the instrument, while defeating its plan and manifest purpose." Undoubtedly it was the intention of the framers of this part of the amendment to guard effectually against passion usurping control of affairs and against corrupt and interested motives in shaping our laws. A certain class of people had in certain states been held as property. They belonged to a proscribed race. They were ignorant and non-self supporting. They had been used to the dominion of their masters. They were not calculated to exercise the rights and perform the duties of citizenship with that degree of foresight necessary to insure them that support, independence and self-protection, which their now new situation and condition demanded. They had been liberated and turned loose without a dollar in money or a foot in earth. I offer no criticism upon the manager of their freedom but beg leave to say, that had the lands which had been made rich and fertile by their labor—which had been purchased by the sweat of their brow, been confiscated and turned over to them, this action of the national legislature would have WICHITA, KANSAS, AUG. 30, 1902. been unnecessary. An appropriation of a financial competency, either in the manner I have mentioned or from the national treasury (if I may mention such an Idea with impunity) would have placed the Negro beyond the dependence upon his former master, who looked invidiously upon his freedom and sought every opportunity, directly and indirectly, to destroy it. With this state of affairs is it any wonder that the friends of the oppressed should put forth such measures in such a manner as would forever and completely protect the weak against the virulent and wicked tendencies and impositions of the strong. "It should be observed", says Judge Story, "of the terms, life, liberty and property that they are representative terms, and are intended and must be understood to cover every right to which every member of the body politic is entitled under the law. The limbs are equally protected with the life, the right to the pursuit of happiness, in any legitimate calling or occupation is as much guaranteed as the right to go about and move from place to place. The word liberty, here employed, implies the opposite of all those things which beside the deprivation of life and property were forbidden by the great charter. The rights thus guaranteed are something more than mere priviliges of locomotion; the guarantee is the negation of arbitrary power in every form which results in the deprivation of right. The word we imply to comprehend the whole, is not, therefore, a mere shield of personal liberty but to civil liberty and political liberty also, so far as it is conferred and possessed. The word embraces all our liberties—personal, civil and political. None of them are to be taken away, except in accordance with established principles, none can be forfeited, except the finding of legal cause after due inquiry." The second section of Article XIV refers to representation in Congress. It says, "Representation shall be proportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taexd. But when the right to vote at any election for choice of electors of President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of the state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any inhabitants of such State, being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state." To this section but one construction can be given. The sole purpose and intent of it was then and is now, to prevent the state or states which denied the colored people the right to vote or in any way abridged that right, from having the number of such persons so denied as a basis for representation in Congress. The language is so plain that comment is absolutely unnecessary. As to the third section and the last one I deem it necessarp to consider now, it provides that, "No person shall be Senator or Representative in Congress or electors of Pres- ident or Vice-Pirsident or hold any office civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress or as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a membes of any State legislature, or as an Executive or Judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." It must be observdd that the provisions of this amendment do not take from the states any of those powers of government which by the constitution were "reserved to the states respectively." It does prohibit the state from exercising certain powers over her citizens, but these are not such powers as the people of a free government desire to entrust to their rulers. This amendment does not take from the state any power already given by the Constitution but it is intended to prevent the possible exercise of any unjust powers or the enactment of any tyranical and pernicious measures. It is only intended to be observed when the essential principles of our civil government are in some states so far as they pertain to certain citizens, disregarded. It is, "When", says Judge Story, "the state purposely abuses its functions in the oppression of individuals or systematically refuses or neglects to employ its functions in giving protection to any class of its citizens, that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the common government, which for general purposes is "ever the whole" interpose its command to prevent the wrong. "It is not impairing the rights of the state but preventing it in the exercise of unjust and unholy powers." POPULATION SMALLER IN 1902 THAN IN 1901.

The management of the Searchlight believes that it will do much good to have the young people hear the excellent lecture of that matchless lecrurer, Prof. W. T. Vernon, who will lecture at Garfield hall on Wednesday night, Sept. 10th from the subject "The Building of a Race". For several years Prof. Vernon has been most closely allied with church and Sunday school work and believing that a few words from him to the pupils of our respective Sunday schools will have a wholesome effect, the management has extended an invitation to each Sunday school in the city to attend this lecture in a body. All the Sunday school scholars will be admitted free of charge together with their respective superintendents and teachers. The only condition is that the schools must come in a body. No pupil will be admitted free after his or her school has passed inside the hall. We want the children hear Prof. Vernon and will admit them free in order that they may have this opportunity. There is nothing short about the Searchlight except its finances and that would be better if all would pay what they ewe. Why not some energetic colored man or men open a first-class grocery store and drug store? It would pay. You should hear the chorus of children at Garfield hall Sept. 10th. Politics and poliiiicians are taking things easy these hays. " UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. " ILLITERACY AMONG VOTERS. It Is 6 Per Cent in Large Cities and 18 Per Cent in Small Towns and Country. The census office issued a preliminary report on illiteracy among men of voting age in city and country districts in the census year 1900. The report includes under the term "illiterate" those who can neither read nor write and also a small number who can read but cannot write. In the United States as a whole, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, the male population at least 21 years of age and living in cities having at least 25,000 inhabitants, was 5,885,644, of whom 330,223, or 6 per cent; were reported illiterate. In the rest of the country; the number of men of voting age was 15,248,655, of whom 1,949,247, or 13 per cent, were reported as illiterate. These figures indicate that illiteracy among adult males is less than half as prevalent in the large cities as it is in the rest of the United States. The difference, the report says, is due largely to the fact that the urban population of the country is massed in the northern and eastern states, and illiteracy is less frequent there than in other parts of the country. Illiteracy among adults, the report says, is found in the large cities less frequently than elsewhere in all the states and territories except New Hampshire, New York, Kansas and Oregon. The report continues: "As the difference between the large cities and the rest of the country in the Northern states is affected by the presence in the cities of large numbers of illiterate immigrant; so in the Southern states the same difference may be affected by the presence of the Negro population." The report concludes as follows: "Among the native whites the differences between the populatio of large cities in the North and in the South in the matter of illiteracy are comparatively slight, but in the smaller cities and rural districts of the South a considerable per cent of the adult population have not acquired the elements of book education. "As a rule a population living in large cities is likely to include a smaller proportion of illiteracy than a population scattered over a sparsely settled area and more difficult to reach by an effective system of public schools."

E. church have arranged a big rally at that church for the 2nd Sunday in Sept., which will be Sept. 14th, to raise a sum of money for the benefit of their very faithful pastor, Rev. A, C. Terrill, who has labored so heroicly for and with that church as its pastor for the last three years. This will be the last chance which the stewarts will have to raise money for their believed pastor before the session of the Annual Conference which will convene here Sept. 17th. The rally is being led by father Saunders, one of the founders of the church, and he appeals to all to come out on the second Sunday in Sept. (Sept. 14) and help them in their effort. Do not forget to bring your pocket book. Rev. Terrill deserves it and all should come preprad to give liberally. QUAINT CHARACTERS. In this world below there are many queer and quaint characters. To attempt to enumerate them, each seperately, would be near an impossibility. But out of the many quaint and queer ones, there are a few whom we come more in contact with than others. For an instance: There is the ever wakeful, self-important, officious fellow; the man who "imagines" that he is the apex on which and around which the whole world revolves and is dependent. This class of fellows are dangerous, not from a point of pre-intent, but from the want of knowing whereof they speak and what they do. They are a laughing stock Then there is the "mealy mouthed" big "I" little "you" fellow. This is the fellow who "knows it all" and when you boil him down the truth is, he knows nothing and a very litals of that. This fellow is somewhat of a danger, but mostly to himself. In this list may also be mentioned the "leader(?)" the man who can always "handle(?)" somebody. To rid of him we place him as the fellow who is a fool for the want of knowing bettere. But of all the quaints and queers the most bunglesome and dangerous cuss in the big "politician(?)" the fellow who has under his finger-tips the entire vote of his ward or city. This fellow is indeed a nuisance and a menace to good society. But, we guess they are some of those necessary evils, which are now, have always been and from the present outlook always will be found.

Referring to the car he said: "No horsese, no mulee; no pushe, no pullee; but run like hellee." And then Jack smiled. Recent experiences at Colenester, England, have once more demonstrated the value of antitoxin as a remedy for diphtheria.

On Sept. 10th, 1902, Rhe Wichita Searchlight will offer to the public the latest in the way of entertainment. This Jubilee will be given on the lateset Eartern style and nothing of the kind has ever before been given in the West. The featureer are novel as well as new. It will be replete in the modes of fashion. Every one attending will be met at the door by two ushers; one will escort the lady and the other will escort the gentleman to a seat. Upon being seated each person will be supplied with an Oriental program which will contain full instructions as to the part each one will be expected to take. Every one attending has a part. This Oriental Jubilee is grand, it is the realization of the latest as now practiced in the East. The recipe was furnished the management of the Searchlight a few weeks ago and we will introduce it here. If you want to attend something swell, be sure to get ready for Wednesday night, Sept. 10th, 1902. Admission to this swell affair 25 cts. THE TICKETS. The tickets will be printed and numbered in duplicate form—every ticket will be numbered—at the entrance the duplicate is torn from the ticket and given to the purchaser, who retains it. After the program corresponding numbers are placed in a hat and shaken up, a boy is blindfolded on the stage in front of the audience and turning his back to the hat in which all the numbers are placed he draws one and the first number drawn will entitle the holder of the duplicate correspondding to this number a cash prize of $1.00. Besides receiving a cash prize of $1.00, the winner will at once become the ORIENTAL JUBILEE GUEST. Tickets will be placed on sale Monday Aug. 11th at 10 a.m. and will continue until after the drawing is over. Who will draw the lucky number? No pains will be spared to make this a memorable event. Come and see the Eastern fashions exhibited in all their reality. The program will be fine in every respect. Remember every ticket has a number and you stand a chance to get $1.00 in exchange for 25cts. Buy your tickets early to avoid the rush. Wednesday night, Sept. 10th. BRANCH OFFICES.

This is part of the journalistic work which he dreads; he does not dread it because he is unable to "roast", but because he thinks it far below the calling of the journalist, be he big or little. But, however we may dread it, some times circumstances make it a necessity, so we wish to serve notice right here and right now, that should you read such an article soon on some "smarty", you can simply say we were driven to it and against our will, too. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Not a Gone's Answer. "Is he a vegetarian?" "Why, no." "Thought maybe he was. I hear him ask his wife if dinner wasn't almost ready, and she answered: 'Go to grass!'
