MARRIAGE ,MpAlRs EFFICIENCY

Belt, the South African Croesus,
who died the other day, was said
to be much averse to the marriage
of young men in his employ. At
one time his secretary asked for a
holiday to get married. Mr.. Belt
replied; "If you get married 1
shan't want your services any
more. You can't then serve me as
l want to be served and you can't
look after your wife as you ought
to if you serve me properly. Come
In later and let me know what you
are going to do" Next day the
secretary explained that he had
determined to wed. His services
were dispensed with then and
there, but just before the wedding
Mr.. Belt sent for him, wished him
success and handed him an envel-
ope, not to be opened until after
the wedding. 1t contained a check
for So, 900 and a note admiring the
young mans courage.

IN POWER PROPOSED

In a recent speech anent the gu
bernatorial campaign Hon. J. III.
Estill spoke at length upon the
power conferred upon registrars of
elections, in the event disfranchise-
ment should become law. Edu-
cation would be the basis of the
ballot, and if negroes who could
read and write were denied the
privilege of registering while ilIit-
crate white men were permitted to
register fraud would be committed.
The law would provide the same
tests for whites and blacks. No
distinction could be made by the
law, and the registrars wouldn't be
given authority to make discrimi-
nations in the administration of it,
but the registrars, if they were
willing to disregard their oaths or
office, could declare white litter
ate citizens qualified while deny
ing that the black citizens, al
though able to pass the education
al test, were qualified.
1t is said that in states in which
negroes are disfranchised and illit-
crate whites are not, negroes are
arbitrarily declared disqualified
by the registrars.
There are two dangers connect
ed with this fraud. One is the
people are taught to disregard the
laws. If they see one law evaded
by fraud or otherwise they natu-
rally lose respect for other laws.
The other danger is that in
closely contested election the reg
istrars might exercise their power
to disfranchise white voters.
1t may be. taken for granted that
the people of Georgia don't want
any law that cannot be honestly
enforced-that requires the of
ficers who administer it to violate
their oath or office. They want the
laws honestly administered and
they want the laws respected.
That being the case they don't
want the Smith disfranchisement
plan, especially since the present
method of securing white suprem-
acy accomplishes the end aimed at
completely.
The more the people think of
this matter the more likely it is
that they will be convinced that
the white primary for securing
white supremacy cannot be i'm
proved upon.

There is talk of Tom Watson
coming back to the Democratic
party. fthis be true he should
bear watching. Our opinion is,
there is no truth in such reports.
But even if we are mistaken it
would be for political gain and as
conditions now stand we believe
Mr.. Watson would do us more
harm in the party than out of it.
The time was when he would have
received hearty welcome back
to the democratic party, but we
do not believe he now has any hon
est love for the party and whether
in or out of it he should bear
watching Butler Herald.

This case of Jane TOQpan will be

she was noted as a mischiefmaker;
her foster mother was obliged to send
her from home because she continual

nurse she developed qualities which
made her agreeable, even loved. and
when she was arrested some of her
former patients evinced far more con-
cern than she herself. Indeed, from
the day OF her arrest Jane Toppan has
never shown fear of consequences.

INSANITY Becomes DeIusIonal.

her insanity. which had been purely
