An Embarrassing Law.

The law enacted by theiGeneral AS
sembly in 1908 submitting seven pro-
prosed amendments to the Constitu-
ton to the voters of the state at the
general election to be held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in No
vember, 1904, expressly requires "that
each Of said proposed amendments
shall be printed sr written upon the
ballots to be voted in said general elec-
ton. This of course means that the
amend mepts shall appear on the boil
lots. The voing will beillegal unless
unless the PLAIN mandatory require
ments Of The law be carried out.
The problem that confronts the elec
ton managers is how to print iutelgi-
bly, the nearly 800 words comprising
the text OF these amendments within
the limited space of 3 by inches in
counties where the notifications of the
Australian ballot system, known rs the
Dortch law, does not apply. This il
really serious problem. 1t is not {
matter SO much for criticism although
the Legislature which ordered such al
absurd arrangement is open to JUS
criticism as it is for concern as to its
practicahilify The general election
law requires that all ballots "shall b,
plainly written or printed Thit
Of course means that they can be easil,
read, that the voters shall have not tn,
slightest difficulty in reading aud un
derstanding their ballots.
Now, is Is apparent that il the text o
the proposed amendments is to b,
printed within the by inches space
making allowance for the barest mar
gins, it must be in such small aud un
loaded type it will not be plain in tn
meaning of the law. 1t goes 'withou
saying that ballot on WHICH tn
names of candidates were printed il
pearl or FIVE point type would not b
tolerated. 1t would be hooted at anC
scorued as travesty and a trick. II

An Unworthy Thrust.

Mr.. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, in his
assault upon Mr.. Cochran interjected
into the campaign discussions of the
year declaration which may greatly
embarrass him and his Republican
confreres on the stump. This ungra-
cious declaration was. eff there be any
hoodlums among US, they are not the

They are to be found rather amongst

men who without conscience and with
out conviction find an opportunity now
with one warty, now with another tc
find market for their peculiar wares,
and which is not repectability." And
this utterance, so the dispatches state,
was loudly applauded by the Republi
can membera. This declaration, in

Cochran, as an Hish-American. is Sc

prising that it is resented by thousands

The supreme Court of the United
States has settled the Virginia suffrage
cases by throwing them out of court,
This action was taken because the

Republicans to overturn the constitu-
tion OF Southern States, which elimi-

In the Alabama case, which was heard
some months ago, Justice Holmes de-
livering the opinion, the court did not
review the facts nor pass judgement
upon them. This was construed to lie
a negative approval of the constitu.
tionality Of the laws which were ar
raigned, and the Virginia decision
seems to add weight to that construc
ton. If those laws were unlawfu
there would be some way to prove it
and the mere fact that the Republicans
can not lind the way shows how veal
