Edfu, Esneh, Denderah, Erment, all begun by the Ptolemies, were completed under the Emperors. At Shekh-Abadeh1 Hadrian built a town, and raised magnificent monuments to his favourite Antinoiis. Chapels were erected at Kalabsheh, Dabod, and Dendur, 2 while new edifices at Philse added to the grace and beauty of this lovely island. Having by these means made sure of removing from the conquered people their usual pretexts for discontent, Rome now decreed that the Egyptian towns should be garrisoned by her legions. At the head of the general administration of the country was placed a Roman official called the Augustan Prefect of Egypt, who combined all offices in his own person, and governed uncontrolled 1 In the province of Minieh. All in Nubia. in the name of the Emperor. Rome, while quietly substituting herself for the legitimate masters of the country, thus armed herself powerfully against revolts. It is true that she reserved to herself the right of calling these allpowerful prefects to account: their administration was never a long one, and for the smallest shortcomings they were punished with banishment or death; moreover, it was required by a law of the empire that the Prefects of Egypt should not be chosen from among either the senators or the patricians of rank. These measures did not so much show that Rome regarded the conquered and humiliated country with indifference, as that she feared that the prestige of such a grand old kingdom might tempt the ambition of one of these-imperial delegates whom force of circumstances had placed in a position of such power.

That it shall, in all cases, be the duty of the Sheriff or his Substitute to take the Proof (A. S. 10th July 1839, sect. 68): --and no remit shall, at any time, be made to a Commissioner, unless where the Sheriff or his Substitute cannot personally perform this duty, without interfering with the other and more important functions of the judicial or magisterial office, which cannot be delegated. 3. That all diets for such Proofs shall (subject to the modifications hereinafter provided) be peremptory; and the proof, when once commenced, shall, as far as possible, be proceeded in continuously, de die in diem, until the same be brought to a conclusion. 4. That, for this end, the Sheriff or his Substitute, or the Commissioner, shall convene before him the Agents of the parties, and shall make with them such arrangements regarding the number of Witnesses to be in attendance on the day on which the Proof is to commence, and on subsequent days, as shall appear to him, on due consideration of the circumstances, best calculated to insure a continuous procedure in the Proof, and at the same time to prevent needless occasions of expense;--care always being taken, in making such arrangements (wherever the whole Proof cannot be concluded at a single diet), that witnesses be brought forward in sufficient number, to secure (as far as may be) that each days sederunt shall occup. . .

Excerpt: . . . are going at full speed; the engineer walks up and down With his long-nosed oil-can; he watches each motion, Studies the pressure-gauge, turns a screw, eases a tension;, Wheels revolve noiselessly; The dynamo snaps with green sparks; the electric bulbs glow. As the great siren with its sonorous chromatic finale, Or the full choir of multitudinous whistles like a vast organ With all its stops playing with powerful bellows, Or the clanging bell in the cupola high above the factory sounds at noon, Suddenly the machinery ceases; the hands pour out for the rest-hour; At early morning, likewise at the closing-time, the streets Fill with a human tide; there is laughter and chatter; Young men seek the maidens; in pairs they linger behind; Hands are blissfully claspt; men unhappily wedded, Dreading the termagant tongue at home, drift to the gaudy saloons; There with foaming stein, with elbows leaning on the bright brass railing, Cronies gossip and relate broad stories; the laugh goes round. Thus every day, year in, year out, the picture repeats itself; Faces may change as the old drop away, but new take their places. THE STRIKE AT last some morning, as the signal sounds, not a workman responds; Groups of sullen men or scowling women halt on the corners; The Labor Union delegates harangue in the central hall. Substitutes unused to the work, unskilled strikebreakers are hired, Shouts of Scab are heard; threats of violence break into acts; Stones and bricks fly hurtling; there s a crashing of glass; Fire breaks out; costly machines are ruined; Labor exults in the damage. Half-hearted come the police; a shot stings the air; an innocent spectator, Struck in the head, falls backward; the ambulance with clanging gong dashes up. At home the children are crying. . .

Walker, in his treatise on American Law, p. 246, says: One ferson cannot depute another to vote for im--meaning in civil and political elections. And Kent says, Vol. 2, p. 369, as we have before seen, that in the case of elections in public and municipal corporations, and in all other elections of a public nature, every vote must be personally given. This is a principle of common law every where recognized. Besides. Here is another consideration which should seem to be decisive, namely: The right to vole is a delegated right. It is not an original, natural or necessary right, such, for instance, as is the right to live. In our American system this right is created by the several State Constitutions. They determine by careful definitions the classes of persons on whom this risrht shall be conferred, and by implication that it shall not be conferred on any others. In respect to the right of voting the Constitution is of the nature of an enabling act. It gives the inhabitant all the right to vote he possesses. It enables those coming within its descriptions to exercise this right in the form which it points out. Others, both persons and forms, are excluded. This right, then, dees not extend to all--far from it. In this State, for illustration, the people, in framing the Constitution, withheld it from aliens, negroes, Indians of any tribe; from women and minors--in short, from everybody except such as answer to a certain specific description. Such as come under this description are called citizens, and to them the Constitution delegates the power to vote at Stito and local elections, in person, but not by proxy. It no where confers on the elector the right of substitution. It thence . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub, RareBooksClub. Paperback. New. This item is printed on demand.

Believe me, always, Faithfully Yours, L. White. OFFICIAL RULES. The official rules and regulations for the bestowal of all law scholarships in The Oklahoma College of Law are herewith substituted: 1. The whole number of free scholarships is now two hundred. Tuition is free to students who are residents of Oklahoma and Indian Territory and in so far as the number of scholarships will permit, students from adjacent states may also receive tuition free. Colored students are not eligible to scholarships. 2. The scholarships shall be distributed by the President, and their award to students is vested in him, but for convenience of admiuistration this powtr may be delegated to other officials, or persons to be elected by the Board of Trustees, or appointed by the President, who when duly authorized, shall be known upon the books of the College as Appointors, and entitled in conjunction with the President to award these scholarships. 3. No state can claim scholarships as a right, for the reason, thry are gifts of the Oklahoma College of Law, and the rate of distribution may be changed or transferred or they may be withheld altogether, but students once matriculating, in trie usual way, shall be entitled to regular instruction in law until graduation, preparatory to admission to the bar. 5.

One of the surest advances towards that end would consist in the grouping of the Colonies. Canada had shown the way, Australia was following, and in South Africa the idea had bulked largely in the past, and would probably come to the front again. There was, however, one suggestion--merely a personal one--which Mr. Chamberlain wished to place before the Premiers. This was for setting up some better machinery of consultation between the Mother Country and the Self-Governing Colonies. It might be possible to establish a great Council of the Empire to COLONIAL PREMIERS IN 1897 237 which they would send representative plenipotentiaries, not mere delegates unable to act without reference to their respective Governments, but persons who by their position in the Colonies, and by their close touch with Colonial feeling, would be able, upon all subjects submitted to them, to give really effective and valuable advice. If such a Council were to be created, it would at once assume immense importance, and might develop into something still greater; indeed, it might grow into a Federal Council. The opinion of such a body would be taken by the Legislatures of the Mother Country and the Colonies alike, and would weigh most materially, on all minor matters of common interest. There is, Mr. Chamberlain proceeded, only one point in reference to this which it is absolutely necessary that we all should bear in mind. It may be that the time has come--and, if not, I believe it will c0me--when the Colonies will desire to substitute, for the slight relationship which at present exists, a true partnership, and in that case they will want their share in the management of the. . .

Staff Director Marcus asked the panelists whether any of the concerns about the bill would be addressed by a potential amendment that could ensure that membership in the governing entity would not be based on racial characteristics, but on lineal descent from persons who lived in Hawaii at a particular time regardless of racial characteristics. Mr. Burgess thought that a substitute could not be used. He explained that establishing criteria based upon living at a particular place at a particular time had been held to be a proxy for race. He believed that the language used in S. 147 to define ancestry was similar to the definition criticized by the Rice court. Ms. Heriot agreed that ancestry was often simply a proxy for race. Nevertheless, she thought that more information was required to answer the question. If the bill were amended such that group membership was defined in terms of ancestry as of 1775 she thought it would be simply a proxy for race. On the other hand, if the group were defined based on ancestry as of 1890, many people would be included who were not ethnically Hawaiian. So, she believed that such an amendment would satisfy the Rice test, though she remained concerned that the bill might still raise other constitutional issues. Public Comments The Commission voted to hold the record of the briefing open until March 21, 2006 to receive additional comments from the public. Sixteen such comments were received during that period. Most of these commenters wrote to express their opposition to the legislation, mainly on the ground that it would, in their view, formalize racially discriminatory practices.
