The "Australian Ballot SYSTEM"
Philadelphia Press.

The ''Australian ballot system'' is the
subject of several inquiries from CORE
spondents, and the plan is likely next.
winter to be before enough legislatsTes,
including that of this state, TO nike its,
general knowledge important. Sfhe ball
lot system in force in this country asss
not guarantee secrecy, and it re8FTes
to be prepared by private or party ehter-
prise and served at every poll. The lat
ter requisite makes it practically i'm
possible to run candidate unless he is
backed by an organization large enough
or with money enough to have man at
each polling place,with his ballots. I'm
der the Australian system the ballots are
printed by the state, and all candidates,
nominated certain time before the
election, appear on these ballots. and no
other can be used. Instead of having a
separate ballot for each candidate, all the
candidates for one Office are OH the same
ballot and each voter marks his choice
in room by himself. The result is that
no one can know how he votes. and
in some election laws under this system
the voter is prohibited from telling how
he voted under penalty so as to relieve
him from pressure he might not be able
to resist. The practical result of the
Australian system is far more freedom of
action, collectively and individually, for
voters and greater opportunity for intel
ligent voting. In order to run candi-
date an expensive organization is not
needed, and at the election men in the
evil trade of buying votes cannot tell
whether the vote is delivered and havee
no way Of findingsout. Y

The Talking Newspaper.
New York Press.

Mr.. Edison is said to contemplate the
invention of a talking newspaper, on the
principle of the photograph. This is en-
tirely too wizardous
He ought to remember that file of
photographic newspapers could not be
kept in convenient form; that q phono-
graphic newspaper could not be read in
the sick room, because the reproduction
of headlines would wake patient from
the sOundest kind of sleep;
that the word "Extra'' as
now printed would, when issued
from the photograph, be in such tones
as would raise the roof from any moder-
ately well built house; that travel on the
elevated railroad with fifty or sixty bust
ness men grinding out the morning IS news
would be intOlerable; and that Il portrait
of Mr.. Holman hurled forth from pho
nograph would be infinitely more homely
than that published some years ago by
the New York Sun.
Your scheme will not do, Mr.. Edison.
A man can get all the talk he wants at
home without having a garrulous news
paper in the house.

LIZ BROAD. unselfigh craftsmanship wa

If BROAD, unselfish craftsmanship was
ever needed in any country at any era, it
is required by Texas at this, the most
.important stage of its development. Peo-
pie have flocked and are flocking to the
Northwestern states and territories be-
cause of the friendly policies of those sec
tons toward immigrants. The same
policies in Texas would produce the same
results. 1t is possible to increase the
population of Texas to 5000 200 before
the taking of the next census; it is posi-
to retain it at almost the present figure.
Which shall it be, 5 200 200 or 200 900?
