among my intelligent and well-informed

neously were disqualified to vote no small
proportion would be shut out from the
ballot box.
Il might speak of other features of the
test which are plainly mere traps, and so
intended, but this would be a waste of
time, for the provision is in no proper
sense of the term test at all. 1t shows
nothing relevant to the applicants fitness
to vote, casts no light on his intelligence
his education or any of his moral
traits. At most. it tests his memory and
presence of mind. No one could pass it
without examining, and its obvious aim is
not to let in the fit and keep out the un-
fit, but to keep out as many as possible
and let in as few as possible whether fit
