The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1895-03-23

One of the c~omtnendable features OF
the Christian Endeavor movement is
that in Observation-Disclosures unde,
nominational but Observation-Disclosures,
Each local society is Independent, owing
and owning allegiance only to Christ
and the church"-that is it's own branch
Of the church universal. A society may
join the United Society and then be
kept more in touch with other societies
If it please. It is no less an Endeavol
society If it Toes not join the United
Society.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1895-03-23

The band of union between the indi-
vidual societies is strong, though one of
sympathy, only. Each has the same
aim-the strengthening Of the individ-
ual Christian and the enlarging Of Gods
Kingdom. Much has been said and
written about Christian unity. Many
suggestions are being given by many
minds. But, too few realize that this
unity must be a growth-that it cannot
be legislated into life. Surely the
Christian Endeavor is doing much to
bring about a greater sympathy among
the denominations in which it is found
The effect Of this oneness of purpose Of
the Christian Endeavor societies can
but be towards Christian fellowship.

The legislature OF Indiana, by a deci-
sive majority, passed last week a bill
regulating the liquor traffic. Owing to
some "hocus- pocus" the bill failed to
reach the governor in time for his sigma
ture.
The main provisions Of the bill were:
First, that the admittance to the saloon
OF any person not belonging to the own
er's family, during fines when the sale
of liquor is prohibited, should be deemed
prima-facie evidence Of violation Of the
law; secondly, that all bar-rooms shall
have glass doors and windows, allowing
an unimpeded view of the entire room
from the street; thirdly, that no license
should be granted in a precinct With a
majority of the resident voters should
petition against it. The liquor dealers
were willing to accept the first two pro-
visions, but fought the, last. Is their
attitude an argument for the use OF the
referendum?

The walton LAW and the Spring
Elections.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In your issue of the 18th instant I find
MONTERREY. VA.
TO dhe Editor Of the Dispatch:
Many persons predict complications in
the coming spring election through the
Walton law, so please answer the foi-
lowing:
We have four or five candidates for
Commissioner of Me Revenue and only
two for COmmonwealjh's Attorney. Now,
suppose a voter wished TO cast his ballot
for Commonwealth Attorney and no
other: would he have to scratch all or the
names save the man he voted for, or
would just the name of his candidates
opponent do? ii. N. ;.
IF voter wishes to cast his ballot for
Commonwealth Attorney on.y. then he
must scratch of all the other names on
the ticket. and not simply the name OF
his candidates opponent"
Pardon the suggestion that you are In
error in saying that the voter must
scratch all the names on the ballot for
every office when he only wishes to vote
for one candidate for one office. The
law is clear that II the Highland voter
desires TO vote for attorney for the Com
mOnwealth. and none other. he can DO
so by scratching all the candidates for
COmmOnwealth's Attorney except the one
for whom he wishes TO vote. The rest
all left untouched. except where there Is
only one candidate for an Office. il II Is
not desired TO vote for him, his name
too. must be scratched Where there
are more names than one for an office
and none be scratched, the ballot IS void
as to them. and no notice is taken of
them in the count
The eleventh section Of the Walton law
says: - When as to any Office more
than one name remains unscratched. the
ballot for that particular office shall be
void, but the ballot as 70 any other office
for which only one name remains un-
scratched shall be valid"
| think the law too plain TO admit Of
doubt. for surely the law-malIlng power
never intended that where there were 50
or 10 names on "A ballot. being more than
one for each Office, that the voter Ia the
two and a half minutes allowed him
should go through the farce OF scratching
all OF them-not by a diagonal mark CH)
but TO run his pencil three fOurths of the
way through each name; about none Of
which he cared, or for which he desired
10 vote. Take the law literally there
will be complications enough 10 worry the
voter without imposing additional ones
on him, for when the able and learned
editors of the Dispatch do not understand
the law, where will the plain. honest. un-
lettered voter be? ii. T. j.
Thanks. Our language was too gene
raj, perhaps. We are obliged to our
for his full and accurate
of the law.

OF building numberless locks. During but
three weeks In the year are there any
changes In the level at Kiel harbor, and
In that period the lock at the Baltic end
may be utilized. These locks are each 800
feet long. 3 feet wide, and % feet deep
on the Sill. At the Elbe end OF the canal.
where the tide runs with considerable
strength, the gates will be closed and
opened every day.
The canal averages 2i7 feet In width,
and at the shalowest portions Is thirty
feet In depth. This will allow the pas
sage of the largest merchantmen and or
the heaviest men-of-war In the German
navy. Ordinary vessels will be allowed
to move only at the rate OF five and a
half miles an hour. and the toll VIII be
Is cents per net register ton. This means
that the receipts Will probably be In the
neighborhood OF $4,000 a year.
The festivities Of the canal opening
Will last many days. The celebration
will begin on June 18th at the Hamburg
City Hall, and will be continued the fol-
lowing day at Kiel. On June 18th there
will be great land and sea festivities,
and on the 10Th a yacht race and naval
and military narades. On this day the
Emperor will also hold a grand reception.
From this on to the 9th Of the month
there will be yacht regattas and number
less festivities for the entertainment OF all
classes.
