4. Suffrage III Virginia Il i.

\ ROY. Dr.. ", vs. Landru,il is5 still
wrestling with tho suffrage qucstio ION y II
Virginia, but has not yet thrown, It down.
SO to speak, In a communication TO ono ono
OF the Atlanta pnpers lie quotes Article
|HlI., Section 2O, OF the Virginia Constitlul'-.
tlon, embracing the present quail lcati !t,t
for registration, and adds this comment
Desiring to DO accurate, ! present I
some official figures. Tho vote for Bryan
In 1900 was a. 900. The vote for Parker
In 1904 was o1,o7o III Subtract \ the latter lat
sum from the former. Then explain the
result in any way you pl ease. 3,4 Il, B
"a friend reminds me that must make
a distinction between legally disfran-
6cllised' and personally disqualified. The
white men I'M Virginia not now d eligible

because they feared to undergo the q IT

DR.. sLandrum got his facts and figures
from The Times Dispatch and the editor
thought he had set him straight; but
our friend Is still wandering. The edu-a
5cational test did not go into effect until
1904, and had little bearing on the vote
OF that year. The new electorate was
formed under the wide open provisions Of
the registrations Of 1902 and 1903 All who
were registered in those years were quail
fled to vote in 1901. That many Of these;
failed through Indifference to vote Is a
fact that can readily be established We
can cite one precinct in 1Ienrico where
less than half the registered vote was
9polled. The only way to. ascertain how
many voters we're disfranchIsed by tho
original suffrage clause Of the Virginia
Constitution is to ascertain how many
persons were registered In 1901 and how
many names We're on the#poll books at
the close Of the registration Of 1903. That
lis a task which mo one thus far has
undertaken. -
DIR. Landrum is also In error concern
ing those who shut themselves out be-
cause they feared to undergo the literary
examinations Ills f'informant'' referred
TO possible few who feared the examl-
nation in 1902 and 1903 under the under
standing clause" There is no such OK
animation now. All that the applicant
for registration has to do is to mako
application in his own handwriting, AS
Virginia has had an excellent public
school system in operation for many
years, It ought not to be difficult for
young men arriving at maturity to com
ply with this simple requirement.,

Davenport, June S.-The trial of the
case against Louis Benor, the China
man charged with operating hop or
opium joint in this city, was produce
tive of pitiable scene in Justice Halls
court. The prosecuting witness, Ruth
Booten. rather good looking young
woman 81 years of age. who since her
bling the Chinaman of SAG, has been
confined at the county jail became
such nervous wreck when she was
denied the use of the drug that she
had to be conveyed from the Jail to
Justice Halls office in the city ambu-
lance. In the court room she collaps-
ed entirely and a physician was sum
moned to give her medical aid. He re-
stored her sufficiently so as to be able
to give her testimony, after which she
was returned in the ambulance to the
county Jail and her case placed in the
hands of County Physician Barewald.
But for her sallow complexion, The
result of the deadly work of the dope
she has been using for the past six
years, Mrs Booten is what would be
called an attractive girl for altho
she is bur ri years of age. has been
married five years and has been a
dope victim for six months. she still
retains her youthful appearance.
Assistant County Attorney c. III.
Murphy has interested himself in the
ing Mrs. Booten sent to Mt. Pleasant
or some hospital as an inebrate, in
the hope that with the proper care
and treatment she may be cured Of
the terrible habit which she has ac-
CURED and which is by slow degrees
wrecking and wasting her once fair
life and bringing her nearer day by
day to the grave.
Mrs. Booten, so 1t Is claimed. is
the daughter OF highly respectable
parents. She was born In Texas and
still retains the air of refinement and
good parentage. An early marriage,
when she was barely 16 years of age
and contact with the world, has re-
suited in her present downfall.
On the witness stand Mrs. Booten
testified she has been patronizing
Louis Benor's hop joint for the past
month. She would smoke and inhale
the opium until under it's influence
when she would be given a bunk by
the Chinaman. She had seen her hus-
band and others both secure and
smoke opium at Benor's place When
asked by Mr. Murphy how much she
paid for TIE dope she replied as high
as 81 at a time She often went 10
Benor's place at midnight and remain
ed there under the influence of the
dope until the following day.
