His Marvellous Memory
Recalls Ancient Bills
New Superintendent OF Sem
ate Document Room Is
Veritable Index of
Public Affairs.

George II. Boyd, the new superin-
tendent Of the Senate document room,
promises TO become as famous for his
marvellous memory as was his predeces-
scr, Amzi Smith. Mr.. Smith, who died
recently, was known all over the coun-
try for his ability to remember the bills
and resolutions that had some before
Congress in the fifty years OF his
service as head OF the Senate document
room. His mind was a storehOuse Of
facts pertaining to the matters the Sen
ate has considered. and he could turn
10 thousands Of intriCacIes OF public af-
fairs that are not indeXed and cannot
be indeXed
Mr.. Boyd has now b. come superin-
tendeut Of the docUmeI- room as the
successor OF Mr.. Smith For about
quarter of century he was assistant
10 the superintendent. Scarcely a bill
OF resolution has been introduced in
Congress in the last twenty-five years
that does not have its proper niche IN
BOyd's memory and he can readily re-
call which Senators participated in
any debate of Importance, naming the
days Of the week and month when the
debates were held. Moreover. he has
that he Is able TO proJIce facts con-
CerninE most OF the Important dis
cussions Of the last half century.
Ia the FIT -ninth Congress there
were introduced in the Senate and
House 34.52t bills and of these SAP be-
came laws. If man were TO have
accurate memory OF the disposition OF
20 many bills il would be regarded as
a wonderful mental performance. But
Mr. Boyd knows the history OF the
bills hot only OF the last Congress but
Of many Congresses gone before He
is also an able executive.

The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1908-03-18

Yesterday was field day for con-
stitutional legislation in Virginia. The
subject was personal prepayment of
poll taxes and the law as laid down by
the Supreme Court declared the salu-
tary principle that the Constitution re-
quires such prepayment to be actually
done in person. This decision will de-
stroy by making illegal, the pernicious
practice Of paying in bulk the taxes OF
personal or party adherents.
That hotbed of doubtful political eX-
nedients-the Southwest-carried this
scheme to its highest development.
Republican officeholders were syste-
ma tically assessed and the poll taxes
of Republican TRUSTEES carefully paid.
What the Republicans devised the
Democrats soon appropriated. and so far
as a proof Of political interest soon
eerned, as shown by the supposed per-
sonal prepayment of poll taxes, the law
became dead letter.
Right here st home in Henrico, in
the Hechler case, we had clear cut-ex-
ample Of the abuse to which this pro-
vision might be put. Now, however.
for Southwest snd Underwater, for
southsido and Piedmont alike, the
question is at rest.
Also a fruitful and profitable source
of corruption in elections has been re-
moved, and the People are that mucn
nearer those most desirable conditions
when elections will record the will OF
the thoughtful, serlousminded, inter
ested and patriotic citizens, with the
least possible admixturc of a venal,
