Ay INDISPENSABLE AMENDMENT.

The action OF the Senate when IL passed the
Roincs Ballot Reform bill last week was not
satisfactory The feature OF the bill which has
nrovoked severe and deserved criticism IS the
nrov,sion that any voter willing to swear that he
Is illitcrate may be accompanied into the booth
nv friend who will assist him In preparing his
ballot That this Is m unwisc and dangerous
proyisIon was recognized by supporters of the
hill but nevertheless the measure was passed
with the understanding that the needed amend
ment would be made In the Assembly The rea-
son assigned for this singular course was that
time would be saved by taking IT, since under the
present rules the bill could not be amended and
retain It's place on the order Of third reading.
As. however. after being amended by the Assem-
blv the bill must be returned 10 the Senate and
passed a second time we fail TO see the force OF
the argument in favor OF saving time by sending
the measure 10 the Assembly In n shape which
the Senators who voted for II admitted to be i'm
perfect. The thing TO be insisted on now Is that
the desired amendment shall be made and the
door 10 fraud securely locked.
We were glad to see Mr.. Raines reported rs
appearing before the Assembly judiciary Com
mittec on Wednesday and urging an amendment
to the effect that lllteratc voters In preparing
their ballots should have the assistance only OF
two election inspectors, one Of each party. AS
reported by the committee yesterday, however,
the bin provides that the election inspectors shall
name two persons Of differing political faith to
go into the booth with any voter who needs help
in preparing his ballot. This Is by no means so
good an arrangement as the other, which we
earnestly advised last week. though It is clearly
much better than the provision Of the bill as 1t
came from the Senate But when viewed In con-
