'" When Judge Lander has before him-a lad who has been arrested for a Juve nile' offense, he summons-the boy's pa rents as well. He asks all hands how they would like to have a Jail, sentence handed out; The result is invariably a lot of weeping by the young -prisoner and his mother (sometimes the father too), and a plea for clemency.-. Then the ."curfew" Is put -on .the boy. usually for the period - of a V inonth. Each week-end he must appear in court with a written report from his parents that he has been promptly put te bed at. 6:30, and a' report from his school teacher that he hsfs behaved .himself in class. If the parents fail to do their duty in the matter of curfewlng the young ster, Judge" Lander finds :It out and slaps a $5 fine on the father. Of course, as he; says, there's a chance that any higher court wpuld reverse him on, this procedure but it hasn't been lone yet Sixteen boys are now undergoing his treatment. v ' . .

Judge Lander, who is the most popu lar official of West Orange, was born in England and was a newspaper re porter' for many years Nearly half a century ago he reported a famous de bate won by the immortal Disraeli, for the Manchester Guardian, and he still keeps' up his old training by con tributions to New York papers. 1 - LONDON, Sept. 11. Conditions at Zaria, one of the "native principalities in the British protectorate of Nigeria; are discussed in the Daily Telegraph by Marjorie and Allan Xeverldge. They write: - ''" . 'h "Comparisons are always odious, but having arrived only recently from the Gold coast, one could not help thinking how very different the conditions were. Iff the latter colony we "had ample op portunity to meet the leading native rulers, people like the various Flas and Omanhenes, who attend the legislative council of that colony and are able to speak good English, enjoy! English books, and who are as at home in talk ing with a white official, as they would' pe in speaking with one of their own race. That'is one aide. And the other?

Upon the signing of the ratiiacation proclamation by Secretary Colby, the" woman's party, telegraphed to ; the at torney generals of thirty-three states inquiring whether , addltlonalvleglsla-! tion was required tOi enable women to yote in November. Twenty-six replies have been received. All of these states, except Alabama, where a decision is withheld until tne return of the at torney general to the state, and Mis sissippi, the only slate to send an un favorable reply, have wired; that women' 'may vote without additional legislation or that special provisions are being made. Attorney General Roberson of Mis sissippi writes that the provision of the state constitution reoulres that electors shall have been registered four months before any" election, and that women therefore cannot vote this autumn. . i ',.-,- " "In view of the fact that the four months registration requirement is- a constitutional provision, there is no possible method by which women could actively participate In the election in November, 1920, In this state," he writes. In sharp contrast to Attorney Gen eral Roberson's opinion is that of At torney General R. A. Denny of Georlga. Attorney General Denny holds the opinion that women may vote at the November elections although they have not- registerea, since they have not been given an opportunity to regTster.

"Any other construction than this would ' put the state above the con stitution of the-Unlted States,' he writes, "and would enable the state, by a passive inaction In - non-repeal of 'these provisions (of the state law) to defeat the express mandate of the constitution of the United States. .

"With reference to the second ques tion as to the necessity .of registration:- As a general rule, registration laws are upheld, nb,F upon the ground that registration is an additional qualification, but upon' the theory that such laws regulate the manner of exer cising , a right already exlstant, and tend o purity of the ballot. , But ;ln order to be valid; such registration laws must afford to the person entitled -to" vote a reasonable opportunity to register before the election. "Summing up therefore, women are entitled to vote immediately, both upon the ground that no reasonable op portunity has een given them to register, and upon the further ground that there is no law in Georgia pro viding for the registration of women, or .under which they, may register,- and; therefore, the necessity for registra tion only becomes an essential quallfica tion under our constitution when .the Georgia legislature has enacted a proper registration law for women., "Instead of a change of the present law with- regard, to . registration, so that women can vote, an; enactment li necessary requiring them to register, and until such law Is passed they are entitled to exercise their constitutional right of franchise; under the constitu tion of 'the United States and vote with out registration, " provided, of course, they are qualified otherwise under the constitution and laws of Georgia. , "Any other, construction than ' this would: either operate as a disfranchise ment on account of sex, in violation of the constitution of the United States,! or would demand some self-constituted state authority 'to enlarge on the registration laws of Georgia. This let ter creates legal absurdity and con sequently until legislative action is had, women can vote without registra tion. ' x "Respectfully submitted. (Signed) "R. A. DENNY, "Attorney General."
