the scheme has been successful,
and even this is but a half-way
measure. The( one way is to dis
charge employes before the election,
promising to re employ them on the
election of a certain candidate.
This, of course, makes the voter di
rectly interested in the result, his job
depending on it, and is therefore
strongly inducive in his voting. The
other way is to hold the threat of
discharge over employes of the op.
posite political faith, or those known
to be opposed to the election of the
person desired by the employer, if
they go to the polls. This only ac
complishes half the result of a pur
chase, because while taking one vote
away from the other side it fails to
add one to the opposite party. The
latter plan is not safe to pursue, be
cause there s a law punishing anyone
who keeps another away from the
polls, or attempts to do so. The
former, while not a statutory crime,
is a moral one, but ODe it would be
difficult to punish.
We may take it as true that the
Australian ballot law is nearly as
perfect as any system that can be in
vented. All that it now needs is a
registration law. The objection to
the registration law, heretofore raised,
was that it was unconstitutional-be
cause it (the constitution) provides
that a votet . may vote for district
officers in any district, and for state
officers anywhere in the state. The
Oregon ian points out that this is no ob
jection at all since the voter could be
provided with a certificate of regis
tration which would show that he
was a legal voter in this state, show
ing also the precinct and county
where he resided. Armed with this
he could vote, as the constitution
permits, in such districts as he might
be in, for such officers as he would be
permitted to vote for now. The reg
istration of every voter would make
it easily possible to detect illegal
voting, as the tally sheets could be
provided with a column for noting
the . precinct and county the voter
was registered in.
This would give us what every
good citizen, regardless of politics,
should desire, a fair, square ballot,
where every ' legal voter could have
his vote cast and counted, and where
the hobo and the itinerant vote seller
could not barter, away their own
votes, and then kill someone els
By all means let us have a registra
tion law.
and financiering, reduced to a . scien
title bafis. Our judiciajy, as a gen
era! , rule would not have much
trouble in distinguishing between the
hungry thief, who stole a salmon, and
the wealthy kleptomaniac who
"klept" a few diamonds. In Eng.
land a conviction was had," which
shows that our English cousins are
not onto their job, since they par
doned, after conviction, instead of
recognizing that some people are
so exalted -that stealing, instead of
being a vice, becomes a virtue, and
the theft an object of distinguished
admiration. If Mrs. Castle was
guilty, she shojild have been made to
take her punishmejit ; if really crazj',
she should not. have been eorvicted
at all. If she was crazy, however,
there was a good deal of method in
her madness. .
The matter of prospecting our
coal fields is receiving considerable
attention. This is as it should be,
and .while the iron is hot, it is time
to hit it hard. Iveep the good work

is for the beauty of its women and

It is annouced in a telegram on
the Cuban ' question, and the state.
ment is given as a sufficient reason
why this government should feel
very ' kindly towards Spain, that
'Spam remained perfectly neutral
during the presidential election."
That was awfully kind of the old
girl, wasn't it? If Spain' had just
thrown her influence on one side or
the other the whole "bilin" 'of us
might have gone bouncing into the
dim .oblivion of nowhere. , "Re

that in those countries - peopled with
