NON-POLITICAL REAL ESTATE.

According to the decision of the Su-
preme Court, delivered to the Governor
Canvassers and Registration, certain par
cells Of real estate sufficient to qualify a
voter according TO article 2, section 1, OF
the Constitution Of the State, become in
ocuous for such purpose and carry with
them no polit ical rights.
These parcels are such as are held in
trust. A previous decision OF the Supreme
Court has been made to the effect that
trustee cannot vote on such real estate
and the decision now made public is to
the effect that parties for whom 1t is held
In trust cannot vote on it, In other words,
the Supreme Court affirms that OF parcels
OF real estate in trust no one is "really
and truly possessed in his own right" as
provided under article 2, section /, OF
the Constitution and accordingly such
real estate can qualify no one to vote
Doubtless quite a number Of "real es-
tate voters" who have been such by rea-
son OF an interest in an estate Of trust,
will be disqualified by this decision as
trustees have already been. But the de-
cision OF the full bench that the Consti-
tuition meant TO provide for the simple
ownership OF vested legal estate, held
by one in his own right, and for moth
ing else, is very clearly and simply ex-
pressed, and will probably carry convic-
tion outside OF an especial legal aptitude
and training to assist in the comprehen.
sion of a court decision. As the Court
points out, also, their construction is a
helpful thing in a practical way, inas.
much rs very great difficulty "would
arise II the language used in the Constitu-
