MINNESOTA,S SLICE.
Some Fat Offices in the House of
Representatives.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Minneso-
ia is going to receive the following po-
sitions in the house of representatives,
the same being assured through the
absolute certainty of the Mcdowell
Glenn combine going through at the
caucus: Enrolling clerk, c. r. Nc
Kenny, of Ramsey county. salary,
s., ,500 superintendent of folding room.
Capt. A. H. Reed, of Mcleod county,
salary, 1909. In addition to the above
first-class appointments, there will be
one position assigned to each of the
other members who have not secured
the better places. Representative
Towne held alcof from the combine
and may not feel as well as the bal
ance of the delegation. So far as the
committee prospects go, it looks like
TaWney on ways and means, McCleary
on education and labor, Heatwole OH

buildings and claims, Fletcher as chair
man Of interstate and foreign COM
merce, Towne, rivers and harbors and
Eddy, Indian affairs.
Representative Pickler. Of South Da-
kota, has arrived in Washington. He
said today that he would probably vote
with the Mcdowell people. although
he would like to support Gen. Harri-
son for some good Office. Maj. Picker
is ambitious to become chairman Of the
committee on pensions. He is the rank
ing Republican member on this COM
mittee and also on Indian affairs. He
has heard nothing from Mr.. Reed. and
doe's not know what he will DO. It
is said that Pickler, however. is pretty
certain to get the Craftsmanship on
either Indian affairs or pensions. Sem
ator Pettigrew is also in the city.

A PARADOX,

The controlling sentiment in the
Republican party today asserts prac-
tically that the Mckinley act must
be restored. Newspapers and public
speakers do not proclaim this in so
many words, but it is implied in ali
that they say. They declare the root
cient revenue. They say that this
must be remedied by increased taxa
tion. They declare that they will
not consent to impose a tax on beer,
or to raise revenue in any other way
than by a reimposition of heavy
tariff taxes. Only thus, they reiter-
ate, can revenue be made equal to
expenditures, and the current deficit
be cured. Now, as we have stated
many times, the Mckinley bill, to
which these gentlemen continually
bark back, was entitled an act to re-
duce revenue. One excuse made for
it at the time it was passed was that
the surplus must be disposed of.
The treasury was collecting too much
revenue. The surplus had become
bugbear. They wanted to reduce in
come, and their method of doing this
was to increase duties on imports to
such a point as would make them
practically prohibitory.
The passage Of the Mckinley act
did reduce revenue by 13 per cent.
How, then, can a return to the same
policy answer our needs when it is
more revenue, and not less, that we
require? The fetichism into which
the Republican party has fallen
with regard to the protective tariff
never showed itself more plainly
than in it's maintenance of these two
contradictory propositions. In 1890
it said we have too much revenue; a
high tariff will reduce it; therefore
let us put on more taxation. In 1895
it says we have too little revenue; a
high tariff will increase it; therefore
let us put on more taxation. The
discrepancy does not trouble your
orthodox Republican at all. What
he is aiming at is not the result, but
the method. He cares little about
more revenue or less revenue as
long as he secures the extortionate
tariff system whose central purpose
is not revenue at all, but is to fatten
the favored manufacturer at the eX-
pense of the great mass of the peo-
pie. This is going to be made more
and more clear to them with every
day that passes between this and the
next election.

THE FUTURE METHOD OF voT-

The practical results which have
been experienced in New York state
this year, in voting under the new
Australian ballot act, give additional
force to the demand for the adop-
ton. of the voting machine. The
New York law, as explained in these
columns, is thoroughly unsatisfac-
tory 1t provides for a party en-
blem or device at the head OF the
ballot, near which there is placed a
circle. A mark in this circle counts
for straight party vote. The in
dependent can instead place mark
opposite the name of each candi-
If any name is crossed off the ticket,
the ballot is spoiled altogether, and
cannot be counted. No complete eS-
innate has yet been made Of the
number of mistakes In the recent
election. The majority was so large
that these cannot affect the total re-
suit. Had the election been close,
however, a large number of ballots
which had to be rejected on account
of some technical irregularity might
have changed the fortunes of one
party or the other, and defeated the
will of the people as they intended
to express it.
Then there comes the difficulty
of canvassing the returns. In all
the states which have adopted
the Australian ballot, this is
the most serious feature. The
time required to complete returns,
where each ballot is two or three
feet long. is great. The neces-
sary holding back of returns
opens an opportunity for fraud
that will not be neglected. All these
objections will be removed by the
use of the voting machine. Some
of these are now in operation, and
have given general satisfaction. 1t
is said that no one of them is yet
so perfect mechanically, but prac-
teal experimenting with the differ
ent machines has so disclosed their
weak points that it is now possible
to make perfect voting machine.
AS soon as it appears, it ought to
be adopted by law in every common
wealth All trouble about ballots i'm
properly marked, or irregu}arly vot-
ed, would disappear. The voter can
not use the machine to cast more
than one vote for any Office. If he
makes a blunder, it is his misfor-
tune, but it is irrecoverable. 1t does
not reappear to embarrass the can
vasser of the vote.
The greatest advantage of all, per-
haps, is that the machine counts
the ballots as they are cast. When
the last man has voted, and the
polls are closed, the machine has al
ready registered the total vote for
each candidate. Nothing then re-
mains to be done except to unlock
it in the presence of all the judges,
and to read the registered return of
the vote. There is no delay in as
certalning, within five minutes of the
hour for closing the polls, who has
been elected. There is no excuse for
holding back returns, and no possi-
bility of tampering with them. 1t
is evident that the secrecy and Sc
curity of the ballot which the safety
of our institutions demand will come
only when the voting machine is in
universal use.

sermon at the Church of the Unity to-
day before an audience composed of
Unitarians, Universalists and Jews.
He said he objected to the form Of OBJ
serving Thanksgiving day and was op-
posed to the issuing of proclamations
by the president calling on the people
to meet for prayer and thanksgiving,
because, he declared, this was not a
Christian nation. While the majority
of the people were Christians, strong
minority were not, and that minority
was entitled to consideration. He said
he did not desire to detract anything
from Christianity, because he realized
what it had done for the country, but
he was in favor CT larger religious
freedom and the most of his sermon
was devoted to a plea for such free
dom.

Even careless readers of partisan

the peculiar method of reasoning so
frequently adopted by writer's more
anxious to score point than to elicit
the truth. Occasionally there is a
fact given as the basis, but more
frequently it is a mere surmise. The
next step assumes the surmise to be
an unquestionable fact. Then from
this fact they proceed to draw
their irrefutable conclusions. This,

all the sickness in the city at present is
due to influenza.

west and northwest districts have es-

plant, which was at FIRST Of q mild char.
acter, has grown more dangerous, and
the number Of deaths from influenza and
its complications this week has reached
several hundred.
In the Reichstag the usual attendance
has dropped to about forty. some $50
members either suffering or recovering
from an attack. The total number Of
cases in Berlin is estimated at from 3d.
900 to 40. 900. Among the sufferers are
the two Vice Presidents Of the Reich
stag and numerous court officials.
1t also develops that Emperor William
has just recovered from q mild attack Of
influenza when he started for Vienna to
attend the funeral Of Archduke Al

Theodore Runyon, has also suffered from
. slight attack OF the disease.
