WALKER-JOEHNK CASE.
How the Thing Looks After Being
Straightened Out.

In the report Of the appeal case of
William Walker against c. C. Joehnk
heard and determined in the Superior
Court last Tuesday by Judge Hughes, it
was made to appear that Joehnk sued
for the recovery of a lot of shoe
makers tools, whereas it was Walker
who sued for the tools, which were held
by the defendant for a debt of $31,
cash advanced Walker from time to
time.
Judge Hughes found from the evil
dence that this was a fact, and by his
decree ordered the tools returned to
Walker when he would pay the counter
claim of Joehnk, amounting to S31 In
place Of the special damage claimed
by Walker, amounting to $50 and al
lowed by the lower court, the appellate
court Judge Hughes) held that Walker
was not entitled to damages in any
sum, as he had agreed with the de-
fendant that he would not enter into
the shoe-repairing business in this city
after the dissolution of their partner
ship, without the written consent Of
Joehnk.
Judge Hughes also refused to allow
costs to either side, which had been
taxed in the Justices Court at S19.35.

THE SEWAGE PUMP.
Trustees to Revise Their Call for
Bids for Motive Power.

At the adjourned meeting of the
Board of Trustees last night COM
munication was received from the
editor of the .Nord California Herold,. =
requesting that he be authorized to
publish the election proclamation in his
paper for the benefit of the German
speaking citizens.
Devine moved to refer the matter to
the Finance Committee.
Tebbets objected to such reference,
declaring that if one of the minor
papers was permitted to publish the
proclamation they should all be treated
alike.
The matter was finally referred to the
Finance Committee to report next Mon
day night.
Attorney L. r. Hatfield, representing
the Sacramento Electric, Gas and Rail-
way Company, called attention to the
fact that the board had advertised for
bids for electric energy to run the S.
street sewer pump without first adopt
ing specifications for the same. He
said the company he represented de-
sired to bid on the proposition, and he
requested that the former action be re-
scfnded, the advertisement recalled ard
plans and specifications be adopted He
said his company could not bid with
out first ascertaining how much energy
would be required, and the difference
between that needed in winter and
summer.
On motion of Devine, the board re-
considered it's action, withdrew the ad-
vertisement, and instructed the Chair
man of the SaUar COnmfttaa TKoo ~
and the Street Superintendent to pre-
pare plans and specifications and gre
sent the same at Mondays meeting.

THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW,
Nearly Two Feet Of It Fell on the
Mountains Yesterday.

Snow fell most all day on the noun
tains yesterday and as far down the
slope as Towle on the railroad line. AT
the Summit the fall amounted to nearly
two feet.
Rain fell at other points along the
road, and it would seem that a consid-
cradle rise in the American River must
be the result. An increase in the vol
ume OF water would greatly please the
officials of the electric power compan-
les, as there has been a shortage for

not, by virtue of their citizenship alone,
entitled to vote, yet none but those who
are citizens of the United States by birth
or naturalization can have the right to
vote conferred ON them. For it is the
universal rude, prescribed by all cleo
ton laws in all the States, that every yo-
Ter must take an oath to support the
constitution of the United States, etc;
and no alien can remain an alien, after
taking the oath of allegiance to the
United States. He thereupon becomes Il
citizen. But the United States, by the
act OF Congress above quoted, absolutely
denies to the Chinese race admission to
citizenship, without which, as a prere-
quisite, no man can acquire the right to
vote. Does anybody question the pow
er of Congress to deny to the Chinese
race admission to the right of citizen

WITHOUT IT THE LEGISLATURE
WOULD NOT HAVE SUBMIT
TED THE AMENDMENT.
JUDGE ALLEN QUOTES SUPREME COURT
DECISIONS.
And Taking the Republicans on Their Own
Argument, Confounds Them. Each
Part Of the Amendment IS
Dependent Upon 0her

To the Editor:
l am confident that the amndment
to be submitted to the people is consti-
tutional, AMI there IS no DOUBT In my
mind that the courts cannot hold the
9TH section to be unconstitutional and
permit the other sections 10 stand.
The rule in the construction of stat
utes is thus stated by Chief Justice
Shaw, of Massachusetts, in Morrow VS..
Charlestown, , Gray, 81. IF they (the
parts Of statute) are so mutually con-
nected with and dependent ON each 9th
er, as conditions, considerations or COM
pensations for each other as TO warrant
a belief that the Legislature intended
them as whole, and that, if all could
not be carried into effect, the Legislature
would not pass the residue independents
ly, and some parts are unconstitu-
tional, all the provisions which are thus
dependent conditional or connected must
fall with Them"
This language is endorsed by the SUI
preme Court Of the United St9tes in
Allen VS.. Louisiana, 1903 IT, s. Il.
In Riggsbee VS.. Durham, 81 n. c. r.,
500, the court says: When such rela-
tons exist among the parts (of stat

ute). as that they make one consistent
whole, and each material to the eff
cacy of the statute in subscribing its
general object, it must stand as
unity, or fall altogether"
1t seems to me that the application
of the rule is easy. The Legislature
passed the amendment as a whole, and
the people ratify it in the same way.
The Legislature though the -ignt to
participate I'M governmekt should be
limited to those who BAD some train
ing, and that the test Of this should
be knowledge obtained 10y what we or
dinarily call education, or by experience.
1t said that men who could read and
write were qualified, and it also said
that those who could not read and
write, but who by themselves or through
their ancestors had been in the habit
of participating in government We're
equally we'll qualified, and that the two
would constitute the electorate of the
State.
1t is one system, one plan, is passed
as a whole, and ratified as a whole.
1T is a matter of public history that
the Legislature would not have passed
the amendment without the fifth Sec
we have invoked shows that the differ
ent parts of the amendment must fall
or stand together.
The Republicans who oppose the
view / express are not opposed to the
fifth section alone but to the whole
amendment. and they urge that the
fifth section is unconstitutional and
that it will be SO declared by the courts.
and that the remaining parts of the
amendment will be left i'm force. because
they believe the people would not ratify
the amendment without the fifth sec
ton.
These same Republicans concede that
the amendment as whole Is constitu-
tional on ITS face. but they say the
courts can look at the political eondi-
tions existing mt the time or its passage
and can see that the purpose of the
Legislature was to prevent the negro
from voting.
If the courts have this power they
will also see that 1t was the purpose
of the Legislature chat all white men
should vote, and that the firth section
was inserted to carry ont this purpose,
and that "the Legislature would not
pass the residue independently"
Att Iutt hIlilCNult 10 SldlWiSN WHICH
have discussed applies with greater
force in the construction or an amend
ment to the constitution, because in the
case of statute. If the court mistakes
the intention OF the Legislature the mis-
take can he easily corrected by repeal
ing the part of the statute left in force,
while the means of correcting a mistake
in the case Of constitutional amend
ment is much more tedious and compli-
Gated.
The power sometimes exercised by the
courts to declare part OF a statute
void, and to enforce other parts should
he carefully guarded, and Is not permits
sible except when it can be clearly seen
that the void part does not affect the
purpose of the enactment, and has not
influenced the Legislature, because the
statute with a part of it stricken out
by the court is not the act of the Legis-
lature but of the court, and the courts
have no power to make law.

States. and both of said amendments are
discussed in the opinion of the court.
Now we have already seen that the
highest court has declared that the right
to vote is not a right inherent IN or be-
longing to mere citizenship, bat the right
to vote is one which must be conferred
upon the "citizen' by legislation. And
here comes in the only restrictive or
prohibitory law on this subject to be
found in the Constitution Of the United
States. and it is contained in the 18th
amendment.
..rhe right of citizens of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by any

yious condition of seryitude."

But the Grandfather Section as it
is called, is the one which presents the
really serious question of them ALL as TO
its Constitutionality. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
