WE are people noted tor our

son of the year that the editor of
the TRIBUNE thinks he would like

also the season that the farmer

and own a print shop, or run a
store, or some one of its businesses,
and have nothing else to do but
rake in the money! How peculiar
is man, he is generally the best,
and his mind is most at peace when
he is sound asleep.

Novel Suffrage Experiment..
Atlanta Constitution.


After sixty years of restricted suffrage,
Belgium, under her new constitution, is
about TO try a startling experiment The
new law gives a vote to every male citizen
who has reached the age of twenty-five. a
married man who pays taxes, or tax
paving bachelor of thirty-five. Is entitled
TO an extra vote. a third vote is given TO
a citizen of independent means, possessing
a certificate OF high education, or who holds
or has held public office of a certain
rank II is believed that every husband
will place his extra vote at the disposal
of his wife. thus indirectly giving her the
elective franchise. Under the new constitu-
ton the number of votes in Belgium will
leap from $50. 600 10 200, 900.
A well-equipped Belgian will now be able
to cast a vote on election day just after
breakfast, and IL he feels greatly interested
in the campaign he can stick in another
vote at dlnnertime. and still another on
his way home to supper. When the voter
feels muddled over a big question he can
go TO the polls like man and put I'm two
votes-one on each side OF the burning is
sue. He can pair off with himself nullify
his first indiscreet vote, and make sure of
being in the right by standing squarely on
two platforms
