The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-14

EX-SENATOR JAMES r. DooL.TTLE, in
his recent address at the Winnebago
County Qll. } Agricultural Fair, proposed
a novel scheme for reform in elections.
His plan includes The following meas
ures: Q) The subdivision of electoral
precincts until not more than 750 votes
shall be in any one, a legal requirement
that every citizen who cannot give a
good excuse shall attend and vote at all
elections, and minority representation in
elections (popular) of judges and clerks
of election; (2) in cities of more than
$4,000 inhabitants the name and resi-
dence of each voter to be publicly read
before his ballot is deposited, and public
proof of his identity and qualification to
be given on the spot and under oath, if
challenged; and (3) that heads of fami-
lies shall be allowed two votes, one for
themselves, and the other as representa-
tiYes of their families.

4 HONE FOR uOODLUNs.

We are raising Tremendous crop Of
hootlluyrs in these Nevada towns. Right
now, there are TO be found as soplis.ica-
ted and wicked-wise set OF lads on
Carson street as ever graduated from
the docks of New York or the Barbary
Coast Of San Francisco. And what is
true Of Carson is true Of every consid-
cradle town and mining camp in the
State. Familiarity with vice III all its
forms Legets a precocity OF dePrayity;
and boys not yet in their teens, indicate
in iippant terms their familiarity with
the haunts and practices of the lowest
grades Of men and women. This too
close acquaintance with vice is not slow
to be.et an equally easy acquaintance
with crime; and mere children in years
and stature eyince calm and upper
tur5ed knowledge Of the criminal calen-
dar and its feats and heroes which is
startling to their elders who have had
more careful early trntnins. The often
ses of these ill-trained and uncarsd-for
boys are not few nor always trivial. Bad
examples are too close at hand. To
me;e out punishment to them by the
same standard and under the same en-
ac;ments provided fox the adult offender

When the peacock loudly bawls,
Soon wen have both rain and squalls.
When you see the gossamer flying,
Then be sure the air Is drying.
