The bridge question, which has
been agitated for the last year or 50 be-
fore the Jefferson county court BY q
number Of citizens from Hsrpers Fer

An Opinion of the Attorney General
as to the Registration of Voters.
August %, 1908.
@ have carefully examined the new
registration law, chapter 10, Acts Of
the Legislature, 1908, Extraordinary
Session, and find no provision therein
requiring the voter to appear in per-
son before the Registrar in order to
have his name listed as voter. am
therefore of the opinion that any APP
plica ton made to the Registrar that
will satisfy such Registrar that the
voter is legally qualified voter of his
precinct, ought to be SUFFICIENT; but In
the event there was objection to the
registering Of any voter and there was
any doubt in the mind Of the Regis
trar as to the qualification ofthe voter,
am Of the opinion It would be wise
to thoroughly examine the voter, ask
ing all questions required in said
chapter
Very truly yours,
(Signed) VIM. q. Conley,
Attorney General.
The above speaks for itself. 1t
means, of course, that large discretion
is lodged with the registrar as whether
he will require voters to appear before
him for registration, and as 10 what
voters he will require thus TO appear.
If the registrar is PARTISAN, aad wishes
to make partisan registration, he
can register the names of all the voters
in his preoiact that he knows will vote
the ticket he favors, regardless Of
whether they appear before him, and
at the same time require every voter
of the opposing party to appear In
person and answer the questions pre-.
scribed by the statute. 1t IS necessary,
therefore, that every voter shall APP
pear before the registrar in his precinct
and see that he is properly registered,
for otherwise he may find. when it is
too late, that he was one of those
whose presence was required by the
registrar, and, not having so appeared,
his vote will be lost. The new law
may not have been enacted with the
intention to allow partisan registrars to
keep legal voters of the books. but If q
partisan legislature had desired to
enact law with that object it could
hardly have framed one more to the
purpose.
See the registration officer at once
and make sure your name is on the
book.

SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.
By Rev. A. C. Dixon. D. ]


Text-"This same Jesus, which is
taken up from You into heaven, shall
so come in like manner as We have seen
Him go into heaven. Acts II.
No man. however, knows "the day
nor the hour" when Christ will come.
The angels of heaven are ignorant Of
it; the humanity of Christ will not
know it. To set the day. the year, the
century, or the millennium, is to be
wise beyond what is written. We are
simply to watch for His coming at any
time and be ready In the two hun
dred and sixty chapters Of the New
Testament there are about three hun
dred references to the second coming
of our Lord. Surely it is important.
The Son of Man came the first time
to seek and to save the lost. He died
on Calvary, the Just for the unjust,
and on the third day lie rose again.
From the top Of Olivet He ascended
into heaven. On the day Of Pentecost
the Holy Spirit came upon the church,
and this Is the dlspensatlon of the
Spirit. To-day he holds the scepter,
wears the crown, and sits upon the
