AN ABLE LAWYERS OPINION.
The Argonaut of Feb. 9TH

The lawyers are a great tribe and the
world will never be able to get along
without them until the millennium
dawnS. When every man loves his
neighbor as himself and seeks his broth
er's rather than his own good. the legal
fraternity will be out of Job, but not
till then. The lawyer is as permanent "a
fixture in our civilization as the doctor
or the teacher. When we get into trou-
Bile we want his advice. and when we
want our rights protected he is the man
we are looking for. He can express our
opinion of the other fellow better than
we can do it ourselves. We may be-
come dissatisfied about his getting the
lions share Of the offices and elect Il
reform Legislature, but we can't legislate
without him, and when we try it harry
est of lawsuits is the result.
Intemperance is one of the worst tenn
ptations that besets the profession.
Brain workers feel the need of stimu-
liant more than any other class of men,
They consume more vital force. This
is the secret of the sudden break-downs

the alcohol habit at Greensboro six or

institute he was unable to control his
appetite for drink. His system demand

without it than he could his food. His
general health was bad ana he was Unfit

count of his lack of certain qualities es-
sential to a proper exercise of the right
of franchise--Under this amendment
every person is disfranchised who lacks
that quality no matter to what race he
belongs and every person possessing it
is permitted to vote without regard to,
his race.
The purport of this amendment is that
every person who possesses the capacity
of exercising the right of franchise dis,
creetly-who has the faculty of self
government-shall vote.
There are two rules established by
which we ascertain or measure this ca
pacity:
/. Any person who has enough intelli-
gence to read and write the Constitution
is presumed to possess it.
?. Any person who has descended from
ancestors who voted prior to 1867. is
presumed TO possess it. whether they
cen read and write or not.
Now, is the latter a reasonable and
fair rule? We say it is because, as we
all know, the people who voted prior to
1867 were people whose ancestors for
many centuries have had the faculty of
self-goyernment in a higher degree than
any other people in the world, and who
from generation to generation had ex-
ercised, improved and developed that ia
Guilty, until it had become almost an in
stinct or second nature. 1t is well
known fact that children inherit the
characteristics of their parents.
Therefore, we say that the descendants
of these people who have for centuries
been exercising and developing the facul-
q II
tiles, and do not have to acquire them
by education.
In illustration OF this we call attention
TO different branches of the dog family
They all originally sprung from one
stock but some species have been for
so many generations trained to do par
ticular things that their offspring take
to that particular work naturally with
out any training whatever-they inherit
the faculty or instinct.

He has inherited that. On the other
hand you may take Il hound pup and
place him in hands of the finest dog
trainer in the world, and he cannot be
taught TO point in his whole life-he can
not acquire the faculty. II would take
several generations for his offspring. TO
acquire it in any appreciable degree
So ii is with the descendants of those
who have voted for so many
generations. They inherit the facul-
ty of self-government, and have it
without education in much higher
degree than any other people can acquitci
1t even by the most careful education.
