a specified time in the precinct or
district or state, and other regula-
tons have been made, but to small
purpose. Like breaChy horse,
bribery goes over all these fences,
and the "f0ater" is "seen' by the
"boss." The principle of home rule
by the people, the arbitrator of
their own concerns, important or
minute, has been carefully pre-
served in all measures and plans.
The heart of bribery in England
was touched, when every candidate
was obliged to publish, under oath
an ite1nized account of his dis
bursements in the election. His
expenses were also limited. Bribery
annuls his election. His agent
must be legally appointed.
The publication Of a list of fit
candidates has been the practice
for long time of certain papers in
the United States. No perceptible
good was secured by this plan. The
character and ability and expert
ence of the candidates we're not i'm
proved by structures and plain
comments by these papers.
Ballot-box stuffing is past. "Vot-
ing early and often" depicts by
gone fraudulent practice when the
Tweeds reigned. Vest-pOCket VOt-
ing is obsolete.
The candidate who gives a check
for hundred, or a hundred thou
sand dollars, toward election ex-
penses is, in a sense, bribe-giver,
and no bribe giver is truly honest.
He knows it will be used for un-
worthy purposes. Limiting the
candidates contribution merely
shifts the matter.
In some states to lay wager on
the election DISTINGUISHES the
better for the time being.
Far back in English election his
tory men have been DISTINGUISHED
for bribery. At Hendon, in Willis,
England, there we're in IT'S, 2lO
electors, of whom 203 were disfran
chised, nominally for bribery, leav-
ing the decision of the contest in
the hands of seven.
An organization in New Hamp-
shire once declared:
1--WE denounce the republican
and democratic parties for using
money to buy votes and corrupt
elections, believing that an honest
ballot and a pure ballot-box are
necessary to protect our free instl-

their places are no longer endan-
gered.
The candidate and the official will
not feel that republics are ungrate-
full, for the need of assessments will
be removed. They will not be "bled'
for the partys good any longer.
The voter will be "alone with his
country, his conscience, and his
God," and be ruled by his own in
telligence where employer or boss
cannot enter, where no promise or
menace or cajolery can reach him,
where no trick can deceive him,
where no eye can scrutinize, where
no voice can speak.
When the state prints the ballots,
the public is simply resuming
proper control of it's own affairs.
The people more than the candi-
dates should be interested in the
result of the elections, and there
fore should have charge of the
same. The people are deeply con-
cerned to know which party is
fairly in the ascendency.
For the purity and protection of
the BALLOT many devices for ballot
boxes have been invented. Nearly
two hundred ballot-boXes have
been patented in the United States
patent-office Some are simple,
some complex meChanisms. Only
three or four have ever been
brought into actual use. The box
known as the New Jersey box looks
like rat trap and is said to be a
sure guard against ballot-box stuff
ing. It registers the vote in red
ink and deposits it in a glass box
below the register. Some devices
have clocks in them, which regu-
late their time of opening. One
device sews the ballots together
and winds them on a spool, from
which they are unwound when
counting. One invention requires
merely the pulling of a knob for
each person voted for. The Rhines
system is sort of typewriter pro-
cess of voting.
To guard the suffragist in the
performance of his greatest and
gravest political duty from the arts
and wiles and power of corruption,
a rope has been stretched around
the polls. The approaches thereof
were thus secured. Guards of Off
GERS have been placed about the
voting place. Moving before elec-
ton day has been restricted, dis

There are about $50 cheese factories
In western Ontario. II Is proposed to
