Something entirely new In qualllca. tions for suffrage Is about to be given trial In Louisiana. The provision finally adopted. not without opposition, requires an educational test for suf frage but makes an exception where the illiterate voter possesses property or his wife has property. Exception Is also made in ease of Il foreigner nut- uralized prior to the first of this year. and in the case of an llllternte voter whose father or grandfather was a voter in Louisiana or some other State previous to Jan. 1. lS6I. With voting where suffrage Is granted because of the electors garden patch or his Wife'S mules We are familiar. for SeN- eral States have similar property quail hcatlons But the plan of permitting man who cannot read and has no mules to vote simply because his grandfather was Il voter more than thirty years ago k Il decided innoNa- tion. The proposal would be amusing were it not SD serious. In business life young men frequently bank on the
 
 life there Is d tendency to rely oil grandfathers or more distant ances- tors. This. however, Is the first sug- gestion of hereditary qualification for suffrage ill any American state. Ii certainly Is not a suggestion of the surviving grandfathers, for few of them would care to continue voting in definitely through illiterate deScend- ants. This strange suffrage quali,ica- ton Is of doubtful validity. A majority of the delegates opposed 1t, but accept ed it as compromise. Both of the United States Senators from Louisiana havp declared it unconstitutional from Il Federal standpoint, and number of other Senators consulted denounre It. If it is finally tried and sustain"d What new and strange suffrage qualification may we not expect from the next eon- stitution-making body:

FOR THE CYCLISTS,

Beeswax and turpentine will polish
enamel and remove all but very deep
scratches.
Russia has established military BIZ
cycle corps, and squad is attached to
each regiment. These wheelmen attract
favorable attention, but their utility in
war is yet to be proven.
e. Slowly, but surely, we are coming to
the gcar-case. 1t is ugly and clumsy,
and adds weight; but it is being adopt
ed, because it saves the chain and thus
adds life to the wheel. 1t is really a
common sense idea, and in the end fash
ion always has to bow to utility.
Lady Griffin, one of the society lead
ers of London, has given it out that she
does not consider it dignified for elderly
women 10 ride a bicycle. That is very
true, but Lady Griffin forgets that peo-
pie do not ride bicycles in order to APP
pear dignified. If that was taken into
account, very few men or women would
ride.
The following advice to make a new
chain dust proof is given in the Wheel:
Coil it up and place it in a small tin
box. On the top put pieces of any good
candle, and place before hot fire. The
candle will melt and run all over the
chain, and find it's way into the links
and blocks. When this has been accom-.
plished, put aside the box and contents
to cool, and when the melted candle has
solidifed, wipe off any superfuity.
