Suppose it should be decided just what are the different races of mankind. Representatives of them all probably would be found in this city. If this amendment should prevail. we should be compelled to have one probation officer. for the Caucasian race. one for the Mongolian. one for the Negro race. one for the Indian race. one for the Malay race. and one for every other race that could be distin guished. We should have some difficulty in distinguishing what are races and what are branches of races. tribes. and nationalities. and when we had decided those difficult. questions. then we shouldhave to appoint a probation officer foreach race represented in the District of Columbia. This. portion of the amendment is absurd and would be entirely incapable of enforcement.
