established. 1t appears that if Kuro-
patkin had not been threatened by
an enveloping movement which en-
dangered his communications he
would have beaten off the Japanese
on his front. The Russians, although,
defeated, are thus able to find solace.
But while Russia may feel pride in

is likely that the period Of Japanese
offense draws to a close. Japan has
now the line across Manchuria she
set out to secure We may safely
assume that if the war goes on next
year the Japanese will be in the
trenches and behind barbed wire.
Either Russia must attack or consent
that southern Manchuria shall re-
main in Japanese hands. The query
naturally arises, in view Of Japanese
difficulty in driving back the Rus
slams. of how great will be Russian
difficulty in driving back the Japan
ese? Will not the task be beyond
the strength of any army which Rus
sa will be able to create and main

In your second proposition you
state:
"When a person applies for regis
tration and reads a section of the
constitution as required, shall we re-
ouire him to write it from dictation
or let him copy same from book"
The proposition depends likewise
upon a construction of the sub-dlvl-
sion of the constitution above quoted,
that the applicant who relies upon
educational qualification for reglstra-
ton can both read and write any Sec
ton of this constitution submitted to
him by the registration officer
To write any section' means un-
questionably to write from dictation.
Otherwise. the condition would have
been simply to copy any section. 1t
is possible to put artistically formed
letters together that spell nothing,
and of course meaningless. Such
is not writing. for no idea is con-
veyed without proper spelling. Hence,
in order to test the spelling qualities
so absolutely essential to writing it
can be done only from dictation.
OF these qualifications the county
board is made the Judge, from whose
denial of the right to register an ap-
peal lies. Very respectfully,

Dear Sir: You request to be ad-
vised upon the following PROPOSE
tons in reference to qualifications
for registration:
\ and B own jointly 10 acres of
land assessed at $3.50. \ owns per-
sonal property in addition thereto
assessed at S1oo Can the assessed
value of the realty be divided and add
ed to the assessed value Of the per-
sonal property in order to raise the
value OF AS property to $500, or
more. in order that he may be ellgl-
Bile for registration, as he can neither
read nor write?
The advice depends upon con-
struction of subdivision, Section 4
of Art. II, of the constitution, which
is as follows.
ANY person who shall apply for
registration after January 1st, 1893,
if otherwise qualified. shall be regis
tered: Provided, That he can both
read and write any section OF this
constitution submitted to him by the
registration officer or can show that
he owns, and has paid all taxes col
lectible during the previous year on
property in this state assessed at
three hundred (S3oo) dollars or
more
From this it is manifest that all that
is required of an applicant for reg
istration who relies upon the proper
tv qualification is that he show he
owns and has paid all taxes collectl-
bic during the previous year on pro-
pertv in this state assessed at 5000
or more. The mere fact that part
of the property is held in co-tenancy,
or composed OF different parcels or
kinds makes no difference. The only
question for the board is to determine
whether "a" owns property assessed
at 5000 or more and has paid all taxes
