A Crystal Maze for Mckane.

To the Editor:
| have a scheme which ought to make several
smail-sized fortunes, but do not know how to
get my idea on the market. 1t Is to put a crys-
tai maze IN the hands OF John Y.

associations or bosses, so that they can the more
easily get all the votes they want without paying
the foaters a dollar. and doing away with the
old style of perjury. thus saving their money
and their iouls. All they have to do Is to place
their election inspectors in the centre of a maze.
They then count as many votes as they want q
believe each man is duplicated some 800 times
or more). and what opposition party can stay
them with Supreme Court summonsc or other
wise? !.

Letter OF "Lovelace'' in your Issue OF the Sd
inst. While I do not insist that a man should
always give up his seat in a car to a woman,
| suggest to our friend that not only the ma
jority OF the stockholders" but also the majority
OF those standing at the hours when the cars are
most crowded are working people. and this poor.
tired man must, during the Ave years expe-
rience to which he refers. have seen many very
tired w'rkingwomea hanging to straps in his
vicinity. Whether a tired man is more tired
than 4 tired woman seems to me doubtful. ]
trust that that ride to Harlem proves n blessing
in disguise to the lady whose hancee kept his
seat while she stood. and that she decided before
It was too late that she would continue to
stand or fall alone as far as he was con-
cernsd. A
