ence. In its columns has always
been found a mirror of passing
events and the careful chronicling

Aud the Peasantry sufrer.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-A dispatch from
Vienna to the Chronicle says that most
OF the corn bought for the starving peas
anty of Russia is still stored in the
granaries of that country, and that only
portion has been distributed to the
suffering multitudes of the famine
stricken provinces. There have been
numerous granaries before in the yery
regions where famine is now raging, but
no official action has been taken to re-
lieve the victims. The Russian govern
ment on this occasion has used the
famine to disguise its policy of prohibit
ing the exploration of corn and cramming
with food the granaries of northern
Russia upon which the Russians could
depend in the event of unsuccessful war.
The dispatch says this is understood. to
be true, in Russian official circles.

A Merchant Marine Board

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Two bills of
much interest to mariners were passed
by the senate today, one of which aims
to carry out the recommendations made
by the international maritime congress.
The more important of the measures
provides for the establishment of a mer-
chant marine board to be under the
direction of the treasury department to
recommend to the secretary of the treas
ury, any changes in existing laws or the
enactment OF new ones necessary for the
protection of the interests of the govern
ment, and the benefit of the merchant
marine of the United States, for the
relief OF the merchant marine from anv
harsh or injurious laws operating to its
detriment. The other bill provides for
the palmer wording of vessels, the
smallest letters used to be not less than
four. inches in size.

Stronger Knot in the Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The senate
has passed bill extending for ten years
the operation of the Chinese exclusion
law. The bill passed by the senate to-
day extending for ten years the opera
tions of the Chinese exclusion law is
a substitute for similar measure intro
duced by Senator Dolph. The bill has a
wider scope than indicated by its title.
for in addition to re-enacting the pres
ent exclusion laws. which are about to
lapse, it contains section intended to
meet the difficulty treasury officials have
encountered in returning the Chinese to
China, through judicial decisions ad-
verse to their right to return them fur
ther than to the country from which
they entered the United States. Under
this construction of the law the treasury
department returned number of Chin
ese to Canada instead of to China and
they were soon caught, again smuggled
across the line, which it was impossible
to guardsat all times and places. An
other new section provides severe penal
ties for return to the United States of
Chinese once sent out of the country.

Increasing in severity.

LONDON, Feb. 19.-The snow storms
which have prevailed recently through
out the United Kingdom have increased
IN severity. In several places in the
southwestern part of England the snow
is several feet deep. Many accidents
are reported from various English towns
with storms on land and sea, throughout
the week. In Yorkshire the weather
was the coldest in thirty years. A bIiz-
zard is raging today equal to that of last
year. Snowstorms of unusual violence
are raging in Ireland, and railway trains
are being delayed. Near Limerick there
are drifts four feet high. At Queens
town heavy gale prevails.

alliance, Patrons of Industry, National
Citizens alliance, and other organiza-
tions of similar character. The conyen-
ton, will decide the question as to
whether or not there will be in the-com-
ing presidential campaign third party
ticket with strength enough behind it to
affect sensibly the fight between the two
great parties. This convention is the
outgrowth of action taken at the Ocala
meeting OF the National Farmers alli
ance, in December, 1890. 1t was then
decided to move for closer union
between the great industrial organiza-
tlons of the country, and as a result a
meeting was held in Washington in jan
uary, 1891. at which were represented
the National Farmers alliance, the
Colored Farmers alliance, the Citizens
and the Knights of Labor, and the Con-
federation of Industrial organizations
was formed. This body called MONDAYS
convention for the purpose of deciding
on the ways and means of forcing the
passage of laws putting into effect the
of the Ocala platform.

Pacific Cable to japan.

MONTREAL, Feb. 19.-Regarding the
report that the British government
would contribute towards the cost OF a
Submarine cable from Vancouver to
Japan, G. R. Hosemer, president of the
Canadian Pacific Telegraph company, is
very desirous of seeing cable laid be
tween the places mentioned, as the ex,
listing cable rates of 1921 and 2.S6 per
word greatly restricts business and prac-
t1cally prohibits it. The cost of such a
cable would be about IS 900, 900. and the
route would probably be from Vancouver
via the Aleutian islands.

ABOUT VOTING PRECINCTS.

The approaching election impresses
upon us the importance of removing
all doubt as to the legality of the vote
of the Se,lalia precinct, and render
ing it impossible to disfranchise our
$500 voters by reason of some slight
irregularity or technicality. That
there is a serious question as to the le-
gality of the vote cast in this precinct
under the old method, none will
deny; that the trouble should and
must be Immediately corrected, all
lovers of fair play and justice are
agreed.
The facts briefly stated are these:
For the past twenty years, Sedalia
Township, including the City of Soda
liza, has constituted but one voting
precinct for general elections. Legal
ly, votes can be cast, received and
counted at only one place in each pre-
cinct. However, in order to facili-
tate voting and expedite the counting,
it has been customary, by mutual con-
sent of the local political leaders, al
though gross irregularity, to ap-
point for this precinct two sets of
Judges and clerks and divide the al
phabet allowing all parties whose
names begin with the letters from A
to X to vote at one window, and from
l. to Z at the other window.
This condition of affairs is without
precedent, unauthorized, wholly I'M
necessary and radically wrong; espe-
cially so when it can be so easily RENE
died a. shown by persual of the follow
inc section taken from the election
law now in operation to-wit:
The county courts of the several
counties in this state shall have power
to divide any township in their re-
sDec,ive counties into two or more
election districts, or to establish two
or more election precincts in any
township, and to alter such election
districts and precincts, from time to

would effect the desired result, VIZ:
Legalize the vote Of Sedalia town
ship. facilitate voting and expedite
counting.
1t is to be hoped that the Honorable
County Court will on. tomorrow,
when the matter comes up for their
final action, establish four voting
places in accordance with the above
suggestion, thus affording the voter
ample time and opportunity to pre-
pare and cast his ballot and enable
the Judges and clerks to complete the
count at a se.ssonable time without
compelling them to work during the
whole day, ali the following night and
a portion of the second day in order
to count the j, 200 votes cast in this
precinct.

4th Ward.

A. will be observed, the city words
will not be changed. and the outly-
ing portions of Sedalia township will
be divided by section lines on which
public roads have been established,
clearly marking the boundary lines Of
the proposed new precincts.
Ina,much as the court house now
stands mt the corner of our four city
wards, the lines Of the proposed new
precincts can be so arranged a. to
cross through the center halls Of the
building thus allowing the First ward
precinct to vote IN the northwest
corner of the court house the Second
in the northeast corner; the Third in
the southeast corner and the Fourth
in the southwest corner.
Under such an arrangement there
would be scarcely no chance for re-
peating rs all the voters would come

ing closed for the day, vote in the

same election officers. The BAzOO Is

to the above proposed arrangement

There will he a special session OF
the county court on Tomorrow morn
ing for the purpose of appointing the
Judges of election and also to divide
Sedalia township into two or more
voting precincts. These are matters
which should, and no doubt will re-
ceive the court, careful consideration
and wisest discretion. 1t is highly
important that We have none but our
very best men to act Us election
Judges; representative men. honest,
upright and firm. 1t is no less i'm
portant that Sedalia township he di-
vided into four or more precincts in
order that the count may be COM
pleted in an hour or so after closing
the polls. instead of requiring the
Judges and clerks to work all the fol
lowing night and a portion of the
second day as was done during the
last election.
The vote in this precinct is so large
that even two sets of judges can't
handle it in less than 30 or 81 hours,
which Is altogether too long for one
set of men to work. They become
completely exhausted and being anx.
ious to finish the count are likely ia
make errors: count ballots which
should be rejected. or reject some that
ought to be counted, rather than con-
tend with the opposing judges over
the matter. 1t is almost mandatory
under the decision Of the supreme
court in the Smith Bowers contest case
that the county court correct the
"gross irregularity" and "clear viola
ton of the law" which prevailed il
that election.
That being the case why not estab
lish sufficient number of voting pre-
cincts to accommodate the voters ant
at the same time not Over-tax thu
Judges and clerks of election. 1t ha
been clearly demonstrated time ant
again that two sets Of judges are no
sufficient for Sedalia, therefore w
trust that the better judgment of tn
), court will prevail and that not les
than four voting precincts will be e.
tablished in this township.
