Of the result.
Tho only natural foe the voting
machine can encounter is the machine
politician. who depends as much upon
the counting as upon the casting OF bal
lots. 1t is attracting more attention
every year. In New York the famous
Committee of Seventy and the Good
Government clubs have taken itin hand.
1t would be an interesting State paper
IL Secretary CHARLIE BENNET were to
inform the General Assembly next month
how much Rhode Island could save to
the taxpayers by the use Of this machine.

VOTING BY MACHINERY.

The working Of the Australian ballot
system constantly develops new diff
culties. The principle of the system is
everywhere recognized as not only right
but great advance on the old me thod.
Yet every election emphasizes the
awkwardness and the difficulty of hand
ling the ballots themselves. There seems
10 be no decrease in the number Of de-
fective ballots; and the count always
gives opportunity for injustice and fraud
IN passing Judgment upon ballots seem
ingly Irregular
There is, as matter of experience, TO
stronger public faith in the fairness OF
elections under the present system than
there was uader the old system. 1t is
practically as easy TO buy votes or to
"count in" or "count out" candidates
for Office.
These facts, born of experience and
observation, are leading many men to
think seriously of the suggestion to
utilize electric voting appliances-called
voting machines, but really only auto
matte registering devices.
The argument for the use of the "vot-
ing machine" is Of precisely the same
nature as the argument that brought
into vogue the Australian ballot system.
The machine would not in any sense
supersede the Australian ballot system.
1t would supplement it. and correct
some of the evils that now attend it, as
well as save expense and labor.
New York has general law, recently
enacted; which allows counties to use
the voting machine whenever majority
of the towns vote affirmatively. One
county nty-Nisgara--has just decided to
adopt the electric voting appliance
known as the Myers voting machine.
This voting machine has been de-
scribed in The NEWS in detail. Its
chief features are that as voter enters
the compartment where it Is located
the opening of the door registers his
vote, as one added to the total number
of voters, and releases the keys which
are to be pressed to perform the act Of
voting. The voter stands before big
ballot fastened to the wall, with push
button for every name Of every candi-
date of all parties. He merely pushes
the button placed by the names of the
candidates he wishes to vote for.

correct. The only chance for fraud is
the chance of rascally inspectors. who
may not set the counters at zero before
the voting begins. II that is done, the
votsrs cannot monkey with tho machine
In any way. A supposed Republican
may vote for Democratic candidates
without fear OF detection, as can be done
with the Australien ballot.
The voting machine is very simple
contrivance, capable Of immensely sim
plifyiug election processes and greatly
reducing the expense. II serves every
reformatory purpose of the Australian
ballot, and carries the spirit of that re-
form 10 Its logical cpncluSiou-the count

THE fact that "present conditions" due
to bis administration, constantly threaten
to deplete the gold reserve, is made the
handle for a Recommendation for an
overhauling of the banking system by a
President who can see no other way
out of lamentable mess. 1t
never seems to have occurred to the
President that he might strike nearer tho
root of present conditions" themselves
instead of assuming them a necessity
and thence going wild duck shooting.

The operation is much simpler than
a description of 1t can be. The ballots
for the different parties are arranged in
columns by themselves. and are printed
upon different colored paper slips.
When one Governor Is voted for all the
other buttons for gubernatorial candi-
dates are locked, SO that is impossible to
vote but for one party, however much
an unprincipled voter mvy wish to
do SO.
When the voter leaves the booth all
the buttons are locked, and are released
when another voter enters. When the
voting is flashed the register connected
with the entrance door must correspond
with the inspectors checklist, and the
counters attached to the voting buttons
furnish the election returns, absolutely

LOCAL BUSINESS PROSPERITY.

The j. B. Barnaby Company presents
through the advertising columns of the
local newspapers today an announce
ment that is not only unique in the way
Of an advertisement. but that has an
even broader claim to general interest 1t
appears that this old established house,
whose name is closely linked with the
name of the city itself, did business in
November that beat the record on retail
sales of any month in their whole his
tory which began back in the
fifties. To this claim, of which
the house Is pardonably proud,
His Excellency, the Governor of the
State, himself first rate business man,
has caeerfully affixed his signature and
both that and the business standing of
-&he house that makes the statement are
sufficient guarantee that it is absolute
ly correct.
The growth and success OF our home
business houses are always matters OF
qualification to citizens at large. Very
likely there are other houses in other
lines who have shared the business re-
vival enjoyed by The Barnaby Com
pany since a Republican revolu-
ton restored confidence IN every
quarter of this great country
from Maine to California and from
Lakes to Gulf. 1t is evidence also that
if you have got the goods that people
want you are pretty sure TO sell them
gu chly, and people will be glad to see
you make money.

STORIES OF OR. HOLMES.
A Young Woman Who Didn't Like HI
Literary Tastc.

A Young Woman Who Didn't Like His
Literary Tsetc.
The story IS recalled Of young Vir-
ginia country girl dining in Boston
some years ago, In the days when DR..
Holmes went 60 dinners. Seated next
to her was honeiy, little old gentle
man whose name she did not catch. He
begsn to talk with her and asked her
how she passed her time in the country.
"Oh, we read, my father and Il' she
said.
"And what do you read?" asked the
little man.
"Well, the 'Autocrat Of the Break
fast Table for one thing, she answer
cd.
II should think you would not care
TO read that more than once" remark
cd the little old man with sign of dis
appointment In his tones.
"My father and may not be judges
of literature, said Miss Virginia airi-
ly and with q faint accent Of scorn,
"but when we get to the end of the
'Autocrat' we generally turn back to
the beginning and road it over again.
Tho little old man smiled at this and
was disposed TO be friendly, but Miss
Virginia was so displeased with his tone
concerning the "Autocrat" that she met
him with chilly Indifference.
AS soon as the guests went into the
drawing room her hostess whispered
reproaohfuily to her:
"You didn't seem TO find DR.. Holmes
as interesting as i hoped"
CDR. Holmes" shrieked Miss Virgin
Ia. There were a tsbleau and an expla-
nation.
Another story of Holmes wit is told
Ono DAY old DR.. Peabody was TO meet
him at n certain place. Tho venerable
professor rode In q carriage. When he
got there, he was met By Holmes, who
had walked. Near by was statue Of
Eurydicc. And Holmes said:

That night he went back home and
sail TO his wife:
"Holmes got OF a good joke today"
His wife asked him what it WAS
"Why, / was to meot him down at

rived, nc said quite happily, oh, you

And then the genial professor wonder.

An Incompetent Congress.
Minneapolfa Tyfhune

Comptroller Eckels' contention that there
can be no solid and enduring prosperity in
this country until the whole currency and
banking system is formulated into one har-
monious plan. sound in principle, is no doubt
correct. The task of formulating such a sys-
tenn, however. Is most difacult one, and we
fear that the Fifty-third Congress win not be
competent to carry 1t through. In that case
the country will have to wait until the Fifty
fourth Congress meets a year from next
December. unless the President should see fit
to call an extra session In March.

traffic wfli increase, while the fixed charges
