THE NEW REGISTRATION.
Suggestions from Prominent Citizen as
to Best Way to Prevent Fraud.

Suggestions from Prominent Citizen as
to Best Way to Prevent Fraud.
EDS. RECORD UNION: Since suggestions
are in order as to the best method of pre-
venting fraudulent registration, permit me
to call attention to the provisions of Section
100 of the Political Code. That section
reads as follows: ANY person may pro-
coed, by action in the Superior Court to
compel the Clerk to cancel any entry made
on the Great Register illegally or that ought
to be cancelled by reason of facts that have
occurred subsequent to the time of such
entry; but if the person whose name is
sought TO be Cancelled be not a party to the
action, the Court may order him to be
made party defendant"
Section I'LL provides that in such pro-
ceedings, the Clerk and as many persons
as there are causes for action against NAV
be joined as defendants.
The Code Commissioners in comment
ing ON these sections say that "thev
enable any person taking proceedings to
purge the Great Register to join all persons
whose names are claimed to be illegally
thereon, in one proceeding This will
make the remedy more effectual because
cheaper. Committees of political parties
may always examine the register, and may
take steps under the provisions of these
sections to purge it of names not
legally thereon, or to test the
legality of any entry made in it.
1t is not in the power Of humanity to enact
laws that will effectually accomplish the
purpose intended, but it seems to the Com
missioners that under the provisions of
this chapter 1t is within the power OF the
citizens of the county to keep their Great
Register what 1t was intended TO be-a list
OF the voters of the county. No law that
could be framed would be entirely effectual
for that purpose unless the citizens of
the county at ali times manifest an interest
in preserving the purify of the elective
franchise"
The Republican Committee of twenty
six which has already done such good
work, ought to appoint a subcommittee.
whose special duty il should be 10 watch
and guard the Great Register now in course
or preparation. Every reputable citizen
ought tc furnish such committee all the
aiG ana Information within his power. and
submit to them lists of names that should
be Cancelled, with the reasons therefor.
About six weeks before the election the
committee should institute an action to
cancel every suspicious name on the Great
Register, which action should be prose-
cuted vigorously. The greatest publicity
possible should be given TO the proceeding,
be published in full. A hearing before one
OF our Superior Judges about ten DAYS be-
fore the election would probably result in
purging from the Great Register several
hundred fraudulent names. VOTER.

PROFESSOR GRAY's INVENTION.

The announcement of a new discovery
IN the art of word transmission is made by
Professor Gray. He claims to have in
vented an instrument by which he can
transmit the writing of the sender of the
message. The writer holds pencil con-
nected with the poles of an ordinary tele-
graphic battery and the ordinary tele-
graphic line. At the other end of the
line pencil is similarly adjusted the two
operate spontaneously. The claim is that
the writing or drawing can be reproduced
in fac smile at the other ..end of the line
the length of the circuit depending only
upon battery capacity as related to the
wires used. If Professor Gray's invention
proves to be practical and easy of use, it
will contribute immensely to the conven-
fence of men. With it one can identify
the sender of message, prove the genuine
ness of his signature, and of course con-
duct correspondence with all the secrecy
of the mails, or even greater. We remem-
Der that some years ago the claim was
made that a method had been devised by
which writing could be Transmitted" so
to speak, more correctly, reproduced. In
that case the writing was to be made with
peculiar kind of ink upon paper prepared
for the purpose. The sheet when completed
was passed over a cylinder traversed by
stylus teeth. At the other end of the line
a cylinder moving in perfect harmony with
the first, received the impressions made
by the opening and closing of the cir
cult, as the stylus teeth passed over and
off Of the linked letters upon the paper.
1t was claimed then that an entire news
paper could be passed through the instru-
ment and its printed matter be reproduced
at the other end of the line. If memory
does not mislead us, we believe veteran
journalist of San Francisco was so favor
ably impressed with the idea that he
made trip to the East to examine into the
working details of the invention. Moth
ing in recent years has been heard of it,
and We must assume that the scheme failed
to operate successfully when given bust
ness test. Let US hope for better fate for
Prot. Gray's invention. 1t is one, if prac-
ticable, that promises to greatly aid bank
ing, to facilitate commercial transactions,
and to supersede almost if not wholly the
now too slow telegraphing of the day.

DEATH OF THE CHEZ JUSTICE.

The announcement of the death of Nor
rison K. Waite, Chief Justice Of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, comes
with startling suddenness. Chief Justice
Waite was born in Lyme, Connecticut, No
vember "a, 1916. He received a liberal
education in early youth, entered Yale
College, and was graduated from that
institution in 1887. He then read for the
bar, and on admission, went to Maumee
City, Ohio, and entered upon the practice
of his profession. He met with success
from the outset, and by his learning, his
calm and Judicial mind, impressed himself
upon the profession as a lawyer Of great
strength. Ohio was then comparatively
new country, and the questions that came
to the bar for consideration were of the
most intricate character, as is true of the
practice OF the law in all communities in
the formative stage. Though he devoted
himself closely to his practice and in no
way sought political prominence, his abil
ity and strength as a reasoner and his
clean habits of life, drew him into such
notice that the people insisted upon his
representing them in the law-making
branch of the Government, and he accord
ingly served, upon demand, one term in
the Ohio Legislature, of 1S49-50, and at the
close of the term located in Toledo. 1t
was then urged upon him repeatedly that
he accept nomination TO Congress, but he
as repeatedly declined, and was finally
compelled to make an emphatic statement
that he would not give up his labors at
the bar for any political honors. He built
up law business that was second to none
in the West, and became widely known
for his legal acumen and ability. He was
offered 4 seat upon the Supreme Bench of
Ohio, but preferred to remain at the bar
and so declined it. In 1871 he was APP
pointed with William NJ Evarts, his Yale
classmate, and Caleb Cushing to represent
the United States, as its counsel, before
the Geneva Arbitration Commission. He
served in that capacity with di0tin-
guished ability In 1878 he was called to
preside over the Constitutional Conven-
ton of Ohio, and discharged that i'm
portant trust with judicial impartiality.
Upon the death of Chief Justice Chase,
President Grant appointed him to sue
coed, and in January, 1874, he became
Chief Justice of the highest tribunal in
the land.
He was not brilliant man, but he was
a worker of almost unlimited capacity.
His ability to dispose of the business of
the bench was something remarkable. He
had the confidence of the legal profession
throughout the nation, and his legal ca
pacity and broad erudition were every
where acknowledged. He was eminently
man of spotlessly clean character, and
his private life was model of the virtues.
His death occasions SO serious a loss to the
country that it will be difficult to place
man of equal capacity for hard work, who
is at the same time a learned jurist, in
the vacant seat The men whose ability
is so commanding as to indicate them as
fit to succeed Chief Justice Waite are not |
so few, but the number who are thus
qualified, and possess likewise the capacity
for great labor, is very limited

. A SECOND LAURA BRIp MAN"

Science in recent number gives an ex-
tended account of the case of u girl whose
deprivation of the sense of hearing and of
sight, and whose education in the face of
these misfortunes is far more remarkable
than the famous case of Laura Bridgman
There is a greater number of people af
ficted as is this Alabama girl than is gen.
orally supposed. The experience of teach
ers with these people now demonstrates
that the ease of instructing them is more
dependent upon native mental and intel
lectusl ability, than in the case of those in
full possession of all the senses. That is
to say, the affection does not of necessity
include mental or intellectual dizziness, as
has been supposed. Just so far as the
physical mediums for communication with
the mind are limited and crippled, the
development Of the mental faculties is re-
tarded, but not estopped.
In the Alabama case the child after
three months instruction was more ad-
tiidu Was 1@.itlii luSludl
two years of study and painful training.
The faculty of the Perkins Institution for
the Blind have demonstrated that the
earlier the iDfrmity occurs in life, the
more valuable is the study of the case
from psychological standpoint. Laura
Bridgman's case was of the greatest benefit
TO the students of mental science; it gave
them opportunity to study the
mind and note the dey elopment Of its row
ers under the most serious of iufrmities
short OF dethronement of the reason but
the case of the Alabama child promises to
be far more valuable to the same class of
students.
In that instance Helen Keller of Ala
hama lost sight and hearing in early in
fancy and before any mental impressions
had been made that could be retained BY
memory. The afiliction was the result of
grievous illness, but on the recovery of
the body not only was the mind unim-
paired, but it seemed to have acquired un-
usual power. The child as it grew W; S
happy, cheerful, remarkably bright and
exhibited none Of the moroseness and sad
ness that usually accompany such Attic
tions as hers. Without any instruction
she learned to distinguish her friends by
touch, and to understand good deal about
the domestic affairs Of the family
When Helen was seven years of age a
teacher was employed for her under whom
she made such rapid progress as to empha-
size her case as a very remarkable one.
The sense of feeling developed acutely,
