ELECTION BOARD
OPEN LETTER TO .
Murphy, Noith Carolina.
September la. 1020.
To
Messrs. .v. H. liiown,
\\ 1'. Udom and
.1. 11. Crawford,
>U'inl>Hrs of Hoard 1 Elections
for Cherokee County,
(it ntleuien:
t notice published in the Cherokee
Scout an order made by your honorable
body requiring a "New ltegistiu*
tion" of voters be had for C herokee
County. 1 nave given some thought
to the question, whether or not this
is a judicious move, and have come
to the conclusion that you should revoke
the order or modify same so us
to rvqune only a revision of the Registration
Hooks. My reasons for saying
that your order should be revoked
are as follows:
In 1000, tee people of North Carolina,
at an election held in August of
that year, adopted the amendment to
the Constitution of North Carolina
embracing what is known as "The
C rand father Clause and the educational
qualification. By that amendment
anyone who could, or whose ancestar
could, vote in 1870, could register
up to 1008 w ithout being required
to read, etc, alter 1008 anyone offering
to register was and is required
to read etc. Not till the adoption
of the Nineteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States,
which was declared August 28, 11120,
nas we rigni oi su II rage given women,
and as 190b hail passed, any woman
who presented herself for registration
had to read, etc., and did not
have the privilege her father, husband.
bi other, or son had to register
under "The Grandfather Clause".
Now there are quite a number of
Indies who did not have the advantages
of schools and are not possessed
of the qualifications required to
comply with Section 4, Article 6. of
the Constitution of North Carolina,
ami who possibly are registered, having
read and written, etc., to the
satisfaction of the Registrar to whom
she applied in 1920, 1922, or 1924,
but if required to apply this Fall to
-onie other registrar and put to the
test he may see fit to give, would be
denied registration and deprived of
the privileges of exercising her right
of suffrage, thus being humilated
and embittered. I do not think this
should be done. The State did not
provide her with an education. Now
should it deprive her of the privilege
of exercising her right of suffrage
because of the lack of (a) she din
not have the right of suffrage in
1900. etc., (b) because, after the
right of suffrage was given her she
could not road and write?
1 believe the educational qualification
for those who have come on
and those who have had the advantage
of schools since 1900, should be
rigidly required, for the State is providing
an education for all, and no
person over 16 years of age, or very
few of the younger set, can be excused
from not complying with the provisions
of Section 4 of Article 6, ot
the Constitution of North Carolina.
i oeiieve that the strength of our
government will be greater the more
our citizens are educated. As is well
known, I am a democrat, but I do
not wish to see anyone humilated be.
cause she does not possess a qualification
she had no opportunity to acquire.
Let me hope you will revoke
your order and require a revision ana
purging of the registration books, so
as to strike off those who have moved
away, and those who have died.
Yours very truly,
EDMOND B. NORVELL.

CLINE'S !
REFORMATION
B, THOMAS ARKLE CLARK
D?an of Men, University of
Illinois.
THE UK wab no doubt of it, Cllne
needed very much to be reformed,
and the obligation seemed to be upon
the organization to which he belonged
to bring It about.
He wa* a talented fellow nhont
whom everyone gmhered as soon aa
he caine Into the house. He told
stories delightfully with an engaging
humor that was Irrefutable. Ills narratives
wore no\er encumbered or
handicapped by fm Me could sing
heautlfnilv and Improvised bis own
accompan in"ni> without the least
hesitation The son. - he chose were
not always the most refined; the
scnrtes he told net nlwn.vs the most
elevating, and though he was always
amusing. It was pretty generally
agreed that hi* Influence upon the
freshtuen wus hardly wholesome. Ifc
had too much to say of bibulous
escapades of wblch he hud been a
part; his references to women whom (
ha had known or who had tried to
know him, were not Infrequently un- i
pleasantly suggestive; the sums of t
money he admitted that he had won i
In games of chance were not likely to i
halp to eliminate gambling; and he i
told a good many tales of cxnininn <
tlons passed by questionable methods. | ?
Whatever happens to the rest of the I
members of an organization, the fresh <
men at least must be kept Innocent. I
so the fellows were worried. I
There was a good deal of discus
slon on the part of the older men j _
They didn't want to offend Qlne;
they wanted to save the freshman to j ,
a life of temperance and virtue, and | ?
so they took up the matter with the I i
executive committee.
The executive committee saw the &
situation, and met It at once. Cllne! t\
was disciplined; he was denied thr 1
privilege of the clubhouse; he waa tc
keep away from the freshmen i
Poor Cllne had never realized his! ,
derelictions; he had thought himself j
In favor with everyone. He was i
crushed; he was humiliated; he burst} 1
Into tears when called before the com-1
mtttee to discuss his penalty. 1 ;
^You've been a fool, and you've got |
to reform," the chairman of the com-!
mlttee said to Cllne. "Maybe you are I
not worse than a lot of other people. J
but you talk abou* It too much. Yon
perpetrate all your irregularities In
the midst of your friends. When you
get drunk, everyone knows It. When
you run about with careless women
you do It openly. You don't use your
head. When Gregory here, for Instance.
wants to do the Indiscreet
thing he goes to ?h!cago or New York
or New Orleans. At home his influence
la fine. He Is looked upon as a
most exemplary citizen. He never
talks about his evil practices. II
you've got to raise Cain, go out ol
town."
And so Cllne was reformed, and
youth was no longer subjected to evil :
influences. The boys knew that Cllne
was no better than he had been be
fore, but be didn't talk any more, j
He had learned the theory which j
many people accept, that It doesn't
so much matter whni you do. aa where
you do it. Tf you are going to rob a
bank or commit murder, go out of
town.
