We Disfavor Reduction of South Southern - I ern Southern Representation I The Georgia Baptist has in season and out contended for the full and complete recognition of the AfroAmer can citizenship We have ever insist insisted - ed insisted that every child born on American soil should enjoy every right privilege and immunity in common We have tenaciously opposed every uhase of Jim Crowism because it is the out outgrowth - growth outgrowth of prejudice that draws racial and other lines that under any and ev every - ery every circumstance are di criminative The men who enacted the II Jim Crow laws may be honebt and sincere they m y think tbey subserve the public good but all of their reasoning is founded upon either personal preju dice or a recognition of the prejudices of others The Supreme Court of the I United Stet s yielded to tbe prejudices of the white people of the South when it decided that a state may enact laws requiring the separation of travelers on railioad tral B just as though peo people - ple people were horses and cows Such laws are always discriminative in their ap plication and there is no remedv The franchise is a bulwark of Amer AmerIcan - l Ican AmerIcan citizenship The women of the country as a rule do net vote and be because - cause because of this they are at the mercy ol the men and notwithstanding the in tuna relations which they sustain to the men they are the subjects ol many injustices beuause they have ac ballot with which to protect them themselves - selves themselves Take the ballot from any claw oi men andlthose men SB a class become helpless as against the class who have the ballot A government of the peo pie by the people and for the people must be a government founded upon
