the question OF Jurisdiction. These cases
DO I'm my opinion clearly show how the
senate understood ttls matter before it
was led away from its normal condition,
by partisan impulses. The crying iucon-
venience Of our system before the adoption
Of the new constitution providing for re-
moval Of negligent and inefficient officials,
by address Of the senate, was that the adj
ministratiOn had fewer facilities for get.
ting its work well done than had the
humblest citizen for obtaining aid i'm his
own undertakings. Take the casenov be-
fore us,-here are certain State officials
who haYe openly confessed that they did
not faithfully execute the laws, because
to put It mildly, most obnoxious custom
prevailed contrary to law when they tool
possession Of their respective offices. Aftei
the State has lost millions through The
neglect Of such officials TO obey and en-
force the laws, why should they not be re
moved from office? / respectfully submit

were peaceful and conscious and his last

When the Baker ballot law goes into
effect It will be very necessary that
Lehighton be divided into two and per-
haps three wards. Under this system,
voting will be very slow and tedious
process. All the candidates names are
on one ticket, and until a voter has his
ballot prepared much time must neces-
sarily elapse. To prepare his ticket he
goes into a little steel booth, to be
occupied by one voter at a time only,
so that it can be easily understood that
Lehighton, having only one polling
place, couldnot poll its vote in one day.
We understand that our enterprising
town council will give the matter OF
ward division some consideration at
their coming monthly meeting. We
are glad this body has finally taken the
matter in hand; it shows the spirit OF
progress. By early action the matter
could be presented before the January
court and the fall election would be at
two OF three polls instead of at one as
is now the case. Every citizen should
give the ward question his hearty
cooperation and assistance, so that
Lehighton moves ahead.
