Two rRoRLENIs SOLVED

The Indiana l. gislaiure has solved two
questions which the Yves. Virginia Legis-
lsture left unsolved.
u the election emphasized any one fact
10 was She need of siricter safeguards for
the ballot The people Of the State are
not bdbcrz. and without regard TO party
they desire that every man who ia entitled
60 vote shall vote, and no man who IL not
entitled To- vote shall he allowed 20 defeat
the ballot of some honest voter 10 is inn
porhni Chat there shall bs some modi6ca-
too Of our laws. in order to guarantee a
free and homes. election. The school book
problem IS sous iy as pressing The In
diana Legislature AT it's last session solved
both Of these vexed questions. The Aus
tr,liap -ys,em If voting was adopted ard
q law passed for the purchase OF school
books ia quantity from the lowest bidder

DC is doubtful, to say the least, if wiser
reforms could be devised. The Australian
system eft voting is not a new and untried
experiment It's principles were embodied
IN the SAzr0N bill, which was vetoed by
the Governor Of New York, and there has
already been sn active agitation in it's in-
terest iu this State. Massachusetts has
conducted an election under 10, and the
results have been highly gratifying to
every friend of honest government
The school book contracts may or may
not DE sn evil 1t is claimed by their
friends that books are furnished the peo-
pie o, West Virgins st az low rates as the
people of any other State IN the Union, hu.
10 cannot be denied that the system gives
room fer gross imposition. Under the
present law the State Superintendent Of
Schools viii soon he compelled to renew
their contracts for a period Of five years
The Legislature at It's extra session should
