The Australian Ballot.

New York Sun.
II had a good deal of experience with
the Australian ballot system in Canada, .
said former Canada politician who is now
n resident of New York, "and I can say
from my own knowledge that it protects
the politician who wants to buy votes II
good deal more than it does the ballot box
All you need beforehand is one copy of the
official ballot for each polling place. We
never had any trouble in getting as many
as We're needed, and until human nature
changes good deal from what it is now,
l don't believe there would be any difficult
ty in doing the same anywhere else.
The man who has II polling place in
charge has his men spotted beforehand,
and, in a good many cases the arrange
ments all made. He keeps his official bal
lot, ready marked, in his pocket and hangs
around in the ncighborhood of his polling
place and secs his men before they 20 in.
The man who receives it puts it in his
pocket. gets ballot from the official, stays
the proper time in the booth, where he
puts the fresh ballot in his pocket, and
deposited i'll the box and the other trans
lerrcd to the possession of the man around
the corner who knows absolutely that he
has got what he has paid for, which is n
good deal more than any politician can
be sure of under the ordinary plan.

DUE LARGELY TO PHILADELPHIA

In the interesting interview with Hon.
l.. l.. Terry, in the Philadelphia In
quircr, published in another column.
Mr. Terry says that the growth of
Roanoke has been due to Philadelphia
capitalists.
There is no doubt either about the
correctness of the statement.
Philadelphia may be slow at homo.
and New York and Chicago may think
the Quaker City SLOW in push and enter
prise, but capitalists in the City Of
Brotherly Love have certainly been the
pioneers Of development in Southwest
Virginia.
They have made Roanoke largely what
1t is, and also made possible the other
wonderful developments now taking
place i'll the section.

DOING WELL UNDER THE CIRCUNI
STANCES.

STANCES.
Without actual inspection and per-
sonal examination it is difficult to real
izc the immense amount of work the
Norfolk and Western railroad is engaged
in doing at present.
The double tracking of their road
from Roanoke to Radford, and from
Blnefield to Blue Stone Junction, is
equal to building new road, and much
more difficult.
Notwithstanding the delay of trains
and failure in ma ny instances to run in
accordance with schedule time. for
which the company, of course, is very
roundly abused. the road is doing adj
mirahly under the circumstances.
The tonnage of the road with the i'm
provements being made all along the
line; the building of houses and the
construction of furnaces and factories
is simply marvellous and could not be
handled at all without careful manage
ment.
The company is sparing neither work
nor large OUTLAWS OF money in making
the road firstclass in every particular.
No company could give better service
nndor present conditions, and it is
only justice to say that a large amount
OF the blame heapcd upon the road on
account Of delayed trains is undescrved
and unwarrantcd.
BETTER delayed trains, when bridges
arc being built and foundations for
trcstlcs being made. than human life
sacrificed.
Justice should be given even to Il
railroad corporation.
