' FIGIXTiriQ THE INEVITABLE Atlanta Journal. ; . The white people of North Carols are so nearly unanimous inr Bunnort the the proposed suffrage amendment tne consiuuuon oi mat state that it" j, rather surprising to see ex-Congressman Pearson, of the Asheville district, coJ out in a fun jus atiack upon it. Mr. Pearson says that when North Carolina was readmitted to thfi tt: : rnxd nnnn ltVa nnn.i.i ul w u uu iuuutmCUiai condi. be changed so as to deprive any chirJ or clas3 of citizens of the right to vote conferred by the constitution." This is a ridiculous statement. It a Billy begging of the question. la Of course no state law or constitution which in it3 restrictions of the suffrage conflicts with the constitution of the United States can stand. . But it is also true that the federal constitution permits a state to fix any qualification for the suffrage which do not disfranchise per sons on account of race, color or preyi pus condition of servitude. Massachusetts requires that persons who would vote must be able to read and write.' ' v For many years in Bhode Island the possession of about $150 in real estate was a prerequisite to the right to vote. Iri Connecticut now no person can vote who is not able to read the consti tution of the state in English. . The proposed amendment to the con stitution of - North Carolina fixes an alternative ' educational or property qualification to the right of suffrage. It excludes whites as well as blacks who cannot comply with its conditions. There seems to be nothing in it which contravenes any provision of the United States or any amendment thereto. The North Carolina amendment is directly in line with the suffrage provision of the new constitutions ,of Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina. It is not denied that the aim and intent of the amendment is' to disfrahchise the bulk of the negro vote, but it will be disfranchised, not because it is a negro vote, but because it is an ignorant vote. Every state has an unquestionable right to protect itself from a vote which it is i ui dients which may not be commendable in theory, but which the"" Buperior race any where would resort to if it became necessary to place and hold the govern ment in its hands. The disfranchisement of a vote that would prove fatal to t he welfare of a I community " had better be accomplished by legal than by lawlesa methods. It is the realization of this fact that has driven" the three southern states, I which hnvA tipirrn mmonHoa to adopt 1 constitutions i which will exclude the greater part of the negro vote. North Carolina has hot a negro majority, but I its intelligent and property-holding citi I zens have determined to impose, a suf frage qualification which will elimiffiate the worst and most mischievous element ip the state from participating in its government . This can be done lesally, and ex-Con- I gressman Pearson will haye to stand it. ..' ULllledL toy Practical Joke.
