Maj. John I Yellott: If educa-
ted, intelligent and houest election
officers familiar with the Constitu-
ton and capable of doing what
many lawyers cannot do, viz, pass
on a reasonable construction of
any section of the Constitution,
are to be appointed, then the
amendment amounts to nothing.
Such cannot be had and will not
be appointed, but the tools of po-
litical bosses will fill the places,
and the "reasonableness" of con-
stitutional construction will de-
pend wholly on the political enti-
ment of the proposed voter. This
is wrong, vicious and dangerous.

Mr. Alfred S. Niles: To my
mind, a government based on the
votes Of ali electorate so qualified
is neither Republican, nor Demo
cratic, nor Aristooratic, nor gov
eminent at all in the true sense.
1t is anarchy under form of law.

Mr., Archibald H. Taylor: In
fact, it is an utterly unprincipled
measure, whose whole object and
effect is to put an arbitrary power,
to grant or refuse registration, in
the hands of judges of election.

AS Mr.. Bonaparte says, il is
absurd to suppose that any Repub-
lican will vote for the amendment.
With such good Democratic testi-
mony against it why should any
Democrat vote for it? With such
eminent independent counsel, why
should any independent vote for it?
With the Independent Citizens
Union on record in such strong
terms, why should any citizen of
foreign birth or descent vote for it?
After the Reform Leagues report,
why should any reformer vote for
it. WHY SHOULD ANY ONE VorE
For IT?

The Reform League: The Ex-
ecutlve Committee reports to the
League that the Poe Amendment
is subversive of republican and
democratic principles in our gov
ernment; is unjust and insulting
to white citizens Of foreign birth
or parentage no less than to color
ed men; furnishes no safeguard
against the evils of an ignorant
suffrage; entrusts arbitrary, ex-
cessive and dangerous powers to
officers of registration, powers
which can be and, according to all
human probability, will be grossly
abused by such officers for partisan
purposes, as similar, though less
extensive, powers have been
abused in the past; threatens the
most precious rights of our citi-
zens and endangers self-govern-
ment in Maryland.

The POE AMENDMENT.
What 1t Is And What People Says
About II.

NNOGh
Below is the text of the essential
part of the DISTINGUISHING Constitu,
tional Amendment which will be
submitted to the voters of Mary
land at the next election. The
part given is the test for voters,
and, as the proposed amendment
itself states, no person not coming
nder one ofthe three descriptions
Shall, if the amendment be adopted,
be entitled to vote. Here is the
test:
First. a person able to read
any section Of the Constitution of
this State submitted to him by the
officers of registration and to give
a reasonable explanation of the
same; or, if unable from physical
disability to read such section,
able to understand and give a
reasonable explanation thereof
when read to him by the registra-
ton officers; or,
Second. A person who on the
first day of January, 1869, or prior
thereto, was entitled to vote un-
der the laws of this State or of any
other State of the United States
wherein ne then resided; or,
Third. Any lineal male descen-
dant of such last mentioned per-
ons. No person not thus quail
ned by coming under some one
of the above descriptions shall be
registered as qualified voter nor
be entitled to vote.
What leading men say about the
measure:
Mr.. Charles J. Bonaparte, to the
Republican State Central Commit
tee: Of course do not ask if you
are opposed to it. Addressed to
the Republicans, that question
would be absurd and almost in
sulting. The Republican party
has ever held, with Voltaire, that
"a good citizen needs no grand
father"
Gov. Edwin Warfeld: The ed
ucational requirement therein is
not conservative or definite. but
is vague and uncertain, and is
liable tocause grave abuses through
9e prejudices, the whims of parti-
san zeal of the registration officers.
Any educational requirement or
qualification adopted should be
defined in precise terms in the
amendment and thus be placed be-
you'd the power of any election Of
fcer to do justice by partisan or
unfair action. The fundamental
right of a citizen to exercise the
privilege of suffrage should not
depend upon the opinion of any
set of election officers as to the
reasonableness of his Interpretation
Of any clause of the Constitution.
A ttorney G eneral w lillian
Shepard Bryan, Jr. 1t is funda-
mental principal Of Constitutional
liberty, other than Magma Charta,
that all mans rights should de-
pend upon definite and ascertain
able facts and not upon The discre-
ton, opinion, whims, or caprices
of any other man or set of men.
And when the discretionary power
to pass upon the political powers
and privileges of any portion of
t. people is sought to be given to
&c { of men notorious and scan
at'usly unfit to intelligently ex,
Sc that power, it is difficult to
n uss the measure in the Ian
4ge of moderation. The "leave
live by no mans leave" is the
Characteristic which distinguishes
constitutional liberty from despo-
tism.

DOCTORS SAY CLEAN UP
Sanitary Matters Discussed at Medi-
cal Meeting Last Night. City
Officers Present.

Tom Green County Medical
Association held n very impcr.
tant meeting last night. Papers
on sanitary matters were read by
Drs. S. G. Parsons and i. l..
Bats, DR.. Parsons was one of
the best ever read before the
Association and treated on city
and house sanitation.
One of the subjects discussed
was that of requiring physicians
to report all cases of tuberculosis
to the city physicians 80 the room
occupied by persons suffering
from this disease could be disin-
fected after being vacated by the
patient. 1t was agreed by all
present to teach the public the
danger of carelessness of dispos-
ing of sputum. Dry sputum is
equally as dangerous to the
patient as to the well people,
from the fact that the healthy
portions of their lungs may be in
fected from inhaling dust laden
with bacilli from their sputum,
which has been carelessly de-
posted where it could be reduced
to dust.
1t was the opinion of DR.. Par
SONS that all sewers whether pub
lie or private should be under
the septic tank system. For the
conditions as they now exist con-
vert over one-half mile Of the
North Concho into one open cess
pool and dump ground where or
ganic waste matter is exposed to
the sun and undergoes process
of putrefactlon, and such condi-
tions are wrong and constant
menace to the health of the city.
The Mayor and City Council
had been invited to be present
and Mayor Powell and Alderman
Spencer and Rust accepted the
invitation.

IN "KOOL KOLORADO."
Successful Contestant on The Press
Campaign for New Subscribers
Spends August In Colorado.

Miss Alice Hinkle, of Miles, is
in Colorado enjoying the delights
of that cool climate while we, of
Texas, are sweltering meath the
suns fierce rays. Miss Hinkle
left Miles Saturday of last week,
and letter from her to the editor
of this paper conveys the intelli-
gence that she is enjoying herself
as only those who are successful
in their endeavors can enjoy
things. Miss Hinkle is accompan-
led by her sister and a party of
friends. They travelled from
Miles to Denver on "the Santa Fee
all the way"
Miss Alice Hinkle was the sue
cessful contestant in the "Kool
Kolorado Kontest" conducted
most successfully by this paper
during the months of June and
July. By her efforts alone she
succeeded in winning first prize
in this contest, a round trip ticket
to Denver, Colorado, and $25 90
per week expense money for a
term of two weeks. Miss Hinkle
depended upon her own efforts
alone in her endeavors to win in
this contest and by reason of this
her enjoyment of the first prize is
all the more complete. She OBJ
tanned many new subscribers for
The Press and not one of them
for a longer time than one year.
She received 30, votes and
sent 101 new names.
The Press Is glad she is enjoy
ing herself and appreciates her
efforts in the contest. The fol-
lowing letter from her explains
itself.
