Political Purity.

1t is sad commentary on municipal
affairs when 1t becomes necessary to
invent means for protecting the purity
of the ballot-box from the machina-
tions of corrupt politicians. Such,
however, is the state of things in
nearly every city throughout the union.
Oswego, N. Y, comes to the front with
a unique plan to reform municipal pol
itics, which has been agreed upon by
the people, and they have asked the
consent of the legislature to put it into
operation. Briefly stated, it is this:
The city is divided into four districts;
in each district the names of all it's
legal voters are put into a wheel like
that used for obtaining juries, and all
are then drawn; the first hundred citi-
zens whose names are drawn form
class A, the second class B, and so on
to the end. Each one hundred citizens
thus by chance thrown together meet
and elect delegates to a council, which
in it's turn elects city officials for that
district, and also delegates to a smaller
council made up of Representatives from
the four districts; this smaller council
elects the mayor and other general city
officers. At each election the whole
process is repeated. The idea is that
the citizens, thus divided by lot into
small elective bodies, cannot be easily
controlled In their action by corrupt
cliques or become subject to bribery.
This system might be found practicable
in the larger cities, and be operated
with good effect.

THERE is considerable criticism of the
action of the faculty of Delaware col
lege in treating the young women who
were guilty of torturing their fellow
students more leniently than. the men
were treated. This is an inequality of
the sexes that doesn't seem just right.
It's just.as bad, to say the least, to dis
figure the face of girl student. with
nitrate of silver.as to do the same thing
to a syoung man. Both are brutal
offenses and should be dealt with so
summarily that the experiment will
never be tried again.
