of the illiterate whites as a class To accomplish this, it is provided that only those citizens shall be allowed to vote who come under some one of the following qualifications:
 United States with foreign power or with Indians.
 Honorable service on the confederate side in the Civil war.
 Lawful descent from those embraced in the above.named classes.
 Ownership of forty acres of land in the state or of property of any kind assessed for taxation at $500.
 The possession of good character and comprehension of the obligations of republican citizenship.
 Ability correctly to read and write any paragraph of the federal constitu- tion, or, in case of persons physically disabled, ability reasonably to interpret any paragraph of the same instrument.
 Obviously, there is no apparent dis crimnation against blacks as such. But it is the registrars who will determine the existence of ability to "under stand" or "interpret" the constitu- tion, the possession of "good eharac ter' and of sufficient intelligence to comprehend the duties of citizenship. All agree that if the registrars shall be equal to their task the great major ity of the negroes will be disfranchised by the amendment. As to the white illiterates, the "good citizenship" clause is expected to cover a multitude of other shortcomings.

DIsFRANcHIsEMENT IN GEORGIA

The sO-called "disfranchisement bill'' which has now passed both branches of the Georgia legislature, embodies the suggestion of Governor Hoke Smith as presented by him in messages and in speeches, and as approved by the people in the last gubernatorial cam. paign, when the question of "negro dis franchisement" was the leading issue. It contains no strikingly original pro- visions, following substantially the suf- frage schemes of other southern states. It is claimed, however, that it is framed with such care that no successful at tack upon it, on constitutional grounds. will be possible in the federal courts.
 What the bill does is to provide for the submission to the people of an amendment to the suffrage article of the state constitution, such amendment pre- scribing certain qualifications for the exercise of the voting privilege. The grandfather clause" and the "under- standing-the-constitution" test have been incorporated into the amendment. The avowed object of the amendment is' to disfranchise the illiterate blacks without endangering the suffrage right

FOOLED DENvERITEs
Arizona Cattleman Thought He Was ar
 Actor in Disguise

With every newspaper in the entire town making a different guess as to his purpose in attending the cattlemen E convention in Denver, Cris E. EllerbC was variously put down as being any. thing from secret service agent, who was supposed to be the special repre- sentative of President Roosevelt, to an actor who was playing the part of q cOwpuncher.
 MT. Ellerbe has returned to his ranch at Dos Cabezas near Wilcox. He was formerly a resident of St. Louis, but for several years has lived in Arizona He came here originally from St. Louis on a pleasure trip and was SO taken with the country that he decided tc locate here.
 No one was more amused than was Mir. Ellerbe at the speculation that was indulged in as to whether he was a real cOwpuncher or an actor who was essaying the role of knight of the plains.
 Finally, to convince a party of skep tical Denverites, he ordered bronchc brought out, and on wager that he could remain on the hurricane deck of the animal, he won a supper. The horse bucked all right. He "pitched mag nificently. He twisted and turned ir great fashion, but Mir. Ellerbe easily maintained his seat. The Denverites willingly paid for the supper.
 It was to represent Governor Kibbey and the cattlemen here that Mir. Fl lerbe made the journey to Denver as a delegate of the Arizona cattlemen He took prominent part in the con. vention.

PEACE EXPERTS

Hague Conference Decides to Follow Lead Set by the
 English Delegate
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 THE HAGUE, August l7.-The peace conference here unanimously adopted the resolutions of Sir Edward Fry, the British delegate, confirming the roso. luti1n of the first peace conference re- garding the iiiaitation of military bur dens and declaring that as military bur dens since then had been considerably augmented, it is highly desirable that governments earnestly resume the study of the question:" The confer. ence listened closely to Sir Edward s speech, where in he recalled that the convoking of the peace conference had primarily in view tLe stopping of aug. mentation of arDdments. He announced that Britain is ready to communicate it's plans oE warships to all powers in clined to do likewise.
 The Russian, French, Spanish and United States Delegates formally in dOrsed the British resolutions.
 NJ. Nelidoff, head of the Russian del. egation and president of the conference, said that the disarmament suggestion is immature now, as a discussion of it would be not only sterile, but injuri- ous to the cause eff peace, because it would show a divergence of opinions, although in reality n unity of inten- tions exists which may one day lead to realization.
 Nelidoff therefore proposed unani- nous adoption of the resolutions, which was voted accordingly.

THE PARTY THAT DOES THINGS

THE PARTY THAT DOES THINGS
 In a recent speech at Charles City Iowa, Mr. Bryan gave three reasons for predicting that the next president would not be Republican: "First, the evi- dent growth in popularity of Demo cratic ideas; second, because of the dis sension among Republicans; third, the utterances of Republicans, who admit that they have no chance for success unless the proper man is chosen; and the different factions of the party dis, agree on the proper man. "
 What makes an ideal Demoeratic2 A party cannot prevent competing party from taking up any proposition in the platform of it's competitor. Mir. Bryan and his millions of admirers should be glad to have the Republicans pay so high a compliment, so conspicuous a tribute, to the Democratic party as the present administration has done, Instead of crying "Stop thief! Don t run off with our issues," the eloquent Nebraskan should rejoice that what he claims as his issues are adopted by a party that does things. However great and good a policy might be, of what benefit could it be to the American peO- pie while it remained in the platform, and in no other platform than that of party which gets control of legisla- ton for only two years out of more than fifty years'
 Of course the Democrats may win in 1908. That is always a possibility of a presidential campaign. But they can not possibly control the houses of con gress. Therefore, a Democratic victory would amount to indefinite postpone ment of all partisan measures. But the "dissension among Republicans is no assurance of Democratic gain. The Re publican party is a thoroughly organ ized party, whose members are amen able to discipline. In 1900, on the eve of the campaign, there was war, seem ingly bitter and vindictive, among the Republicans in congress, but the party got together and achieved an easy and great victory over the demoralized Democracy, whom Colonel Bryan had boldly bossed into a reaiIirmation of l6 to l, although the Democrats, in compliance with Mir. Bryan s wish, "paramounted" anti-imperialism, and this gave them no apparent increase of strength.
 Does MT. Bryan remember the cam jaign of 1880, when, in the Chicago Republican national convention there was phenomenal disagreement as to the proper man, and a factional fight of extreme bitterness2 In that year the Democrats should have won hands down, for it was the next elec- tion year after the counting out of Mir. Tilden. But the Republican fac tions got together. Grant took Conk ling to Mentor and the war was over Don't count on Republican disaffec- tion or disgruntlement as yet. Such conditions may prevail year hence, but the precedents are not now point ing that way. Whereas in the Demo- cratic party at this time there is no appearance of enthusiasm, nor has there been since the Democratic leader threw an ice water bath on the bright hopes and splendid prospects of both factions of his party who had assembled to welcome him home from the Old World.
