attorneys and the agents to these legitimate
matters? By no means. There would be no
sense in requiring 'Docket Of Appearance
for attorneys who 60 before committees, to
offer evidence and to address the reason Of
the members. Those are not the people aimed
at The State of Georgia would not do SO
absurd thing as to put odious conditions
upon absolutely meritorious employment
No! The men aimed at are the lobbyists,
whose appeal IS not to reason and judgment.
And if this new law means anything, it
means that lobbyists may lobby, provided they
stay off the floor after the measures in which
they are interested has been formally intro
duced. The registering Of their names, and
the requirement as to salary and expense-ac-
count appeared to me to be conclusive of the
Legislative intent-to-wit, to regulate and
legalize lobbying.
1t the new law does not do that what does
1t 40? And if it does do that, why is not the
Mcdaniel act in conflict with it?

How Every TaX-Payiz1g Negro
Could Vote.
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE.)
Could Vote

truth OF the black mans statement may be
tested. He is not put upon the tax-collector
as a trlOr-as Juryman is put upon the c0ir
dire. NO QUESTIONS CAN Be ASKED.
Nobody is made the Judge of whether the
negro has told the truth, or not He simply
asserts that he understands the duties and OBJ
legations of citizenship, and that ends it. lie
must be enrolled, AND he IS QUALLFIED
TO VOTE.
And that is the law which Smith and
Hardwicl1 put upon the State of Georgia, as
compliance with their solemn political prom
lses to me, to put the negro out Of politics.
What are the duties and obligations of cit
lzenshlp! A thousand men, asked that ques-
ton, would answer in a thousand different
ways. How many registrars know what are
the duties and responsibilities of the citizen?
How many editors are capable of answering?
How many scholars?
AS my friend Mcclellan remarked at the
time we were discussing the matter in the
hotel at Waycross, the question opens up the
whole field of private and public life
Mr.. African can pay his poll-tax and say
to the tax-collector, II demand the right to
register under that paragraph of the new
law which directs you to enroll all those who
understand the duties and obligations of cit
izenship. [ am one Of those who understands
those duties and those obligations Swear
me. and register me-"
What can the registrar do? Nothing AL
though he may know that the negro is voicing
an unmitigated falsehood, he naatst accept his
statement, and put his name on the voters
list
If any lawyer in Georgia, Or elsewhere, can
prove that DR.. English is wrong, [ will gladly
publish correction.
1t never occurred to me before, but since
the point was made, it seems to me absolutely
clear that every black man who pays his
taxes can register and vote, if he declares that
he understands the duties and obligations of
citizenship The law fails to provide way
to test the veracity of his assertion.

hatOr Felker, and the Anti
Lobby Law.

Fl N tnlS issue, we publish the remainder of
Senator Felker's article on the new anti
lobby law. His opinion of it appears to have
improved since his first letter to me in which
he classed it as "a milk and cider affairo
That is natural; we grow friendly to that
which we defend
The Macon Platform of 1906 contained a.
resounding declaration against the evil Of
lobbying. The Performers" pledged them
selves to put a stop to it. Drastic legislation
TO that end was to be enacted at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature. Governor Smiths
speeches., letters and messages breathed ire
concllable hostility to wicked men who pre-
vailed upon our Solons to vote the wrong
way.
So late as July of this year we were as
sured by Gov. Smith that one of his main
reason for consenting to hold on to the Gov
ernorship while a Senatorial salary accumu-
lated to his credit in Washington was. that
he wanted to secure an effective law against
lobbying.
The outcome of his labors is the new law
which Senator Felker describes as "a milk
and cider affair" After five long years, we
are given statute which-if [ understand
plain glish-legalizes lobbying.
The Mcdaniel act of 1878 was an effort to
prohibit the use of any sinister, corrupting or
deceptive influence on legislation It applied
to measures pending as we'll as to measures
"t0 be introduced" The Mcdaniel act penal
ICES all solicitation not addressed s0zeZY to
the Judgment The Mcdaniel act also men
tions the kind of services which may be legally
rendered, for and against legislative action.
Therefore, the subject matter of the Nc
Daniel act is, zo56ying What is the subject
matter Of the new law, if it is not lobbying?
Gov. Smith must have so understood it, for
he spoke of it as the anti-lobby bill, and
signed it as such.
Senator Fell1er says:
"The object of the two laws are not the
same. One is to define and punish certain
crime in obedience to the Constitution; the
other IS to prescribe certain requirements by
which it may be discovered who has violated
the former law. And unless the objects of the
two laws are the same, there can be no repeal
by implication"
That is remarkable assertion. H02c does
the new law "prescribe certain requirements
by which it may be discovered who has vio-
lated the former law" How does any part
of the new law enable a court and jury to
"discover" that the Mcdaniel act has been
violated?
According to the new law, the lobbyists can
legally canvass the Legislature, and use all
of their evil influences for or against any
measure they wish to kill, or put through,
pr'o0ided the work is done before the actual
introduction of the bill. In this respect, the
new law is radically defective.
So far as [ can see, the new law prescribes
regulations for the doing of that which the
Mcdaniel act made felonious. Persons who
approach legislators in legal manner, are

at the hearing before the Taft Commission.
Mr.. Taft reported this mass of testimony to
President Mckinley, who transmitted it to the
Senate "Document No. 100" is one of the
most horrible exposures Of Romanist fraud,
imposture and immortality that was ever pub
ished.
Page $50, Of the Report, gives the evidence
of Senior Nozaro Constantine:
20. What political functions did the friars
discharge before 1886 in the villages in which
they were parish priests?
A. The political functions that they exer-
clsed were those Of ruling the entire country,
every authority and everybody having to be
subserylent to their caprice.
q. Do you know what were the relations
between the heads of the Spanish Government
and the heads of the church here?
4. Generally speaking the governor general
had to keep on the good side of the head of
the church here, for he knew full we'll that if
he should do anything which was displeasng
to the archbishop that he Would last a vsr7
short time in the Philippines.
Q. What were the fees usually collected for
the marriages and births and burials? We're
they oppressive or otherwise?
A. That depended entirely upon the caprice
the person needing his services Many times
the latter would pay four times the official
schedule
q. What was the morality Of the friars?
A. There was no morality whatever and the
story of the immortality would take too long
to recount. Great immortality and corruption.
Il desire to say here that, speaking thus
frankly about the habits Of the priests. the
witnnCCnC would +bot 4l,o1, 10 no.,
secuted by the priest if it should ever get out
what they were saying here)
Judge TAFT. ! don't expect to publish it.
l expect to use it to make report to the
commission.
Q. Have you known of the children of friars
being about in Bulacan?
A. Yes, sir. About the year 1910 and the
year 50 every friar curate in the province of
Bl1lacan had his concubine. Dr. Joaquin
Gonzales was the son Of curate of Baiaug,
and he has three sisters here and another
brother, all children of the same friar We do
not look upon that as discredit to man.
The multitude of friars who came here from
1876 to 1896 and 1858 were all of the same
kind, and to name the number of children
that they have would take up an immense lot
of space. There was a case, for instance. of
the governor Of the province of Bulacan (and
| know whereof | speak, for [ have practiced
law there for many years. who was named
Canova, and he was "a man who was very
strict in the performance of his official duty
an honest and upright man. He endeavored
to put stop to the deportations of the friars,
and they combined and called upon him in a
body and asked him in threatening manner
if he desired to remain as governor of that
province He told them to 90 to hell; and
they said, Now, if you don't want to stay
here you better ask to be transferred to an
