PUBLISHING ORDINANCES.

The charter revisers have receded
from their first position regarding the
publicity Of ordinances. and have
agreed that all ordinances shall be
published at least once. and that there
shall be no posting. This is a step in
advance and Is to be commended,
though one day OF publication is very
little of publicity. But 1t is better far
than the system now in vogue.
1t has been added to the proposed
amendment that failure to publish shall
not affect the validity of the enactment
This leaves the matter Of publication
merely directory, which is to be regret
ted. 1t was insisted in the committees
that to make publication an essential
to validity would result In possible in
ability, after some lapse of time. to
prove publication when 1t should be
challenged in court We cannot look
upon II in that light. It is just as easy
for a clerk to keep book OF proofs Of
publication as to keep the book Of the
ordinances themselves. 1t ought to be
as easy to prove the publication as to
prove the necessary vote of passage
and the fact of approval.

THE BALLOT MACHINE.

That the press Of the country is ia
yorably discussing the proposition TO
introduce ballot machines into the Cali
fornia electoral system Is a good sign.
Thus Tar we have seen but one paper
that raises objection TO the machine,
and that Is that it prevents q voter from
writing In the name of any candidate
not on the printed slips. But there are
machines in which name not on the
voting list can be written In. However,
this objection Is not serious one.
The machine used in Massachusetts
In the recent election is faulty in one
respect in our opinion-it does not count
the vote. The vote of the elector is
registered by a perforation in paper,
and these perforations have to be
counted precisely as tallies are now ag-
9regated, SO that there is no gain in
footing up. There 10 great gain, how

garded as incredible, but there seems to
be no reason to doubt their accuracy
In the twenty-one years, from 1895 tc
1876, Mr.. Jessup consumed 226, ,934 pills,
which is at the rate of 10,S06 year, or
twenty-nine a day.
Many more of these were taken in
the later than in the earlier years. From
1S11 to 1916, a period of five years, the
rate of consumption averaged seventy
eight a day, while in one single year,
1914, Mr.. Jessup swallowed as many as
81 $50 pills.
These astounding figures came out in
the course of an action tried in the Lin
coin assizes in 1917, when an apothe-
cary of Bottesford, who had supplied
the whole Of the medicine, sued Mr.
Jessup for the amount of his bill. In
spite of taking all these pills, with the
addition of 10000 bottles of mixtures
and juleps and electuaries, Mr. Jessup
who was unmarried, lived to the age of
90. The aDothecary's bill. for the
amount of which he was sued, covered
no less than fifty-five long and closely
written columns.

ever, in tallying; all that process is
avoided, and it is always a tedious and
annoying one.
Other machines tally and count the
votes, and, all other things being equal,
they are the preferable devices. We
agree fully with the San Francisco
Chronicle" which advocates the early
test Of all the machines in the market,
since the tests will cost the State moth
ing, the inventors being only too anx-
ious to have them made. Our contem-
porary says:
The State of California having now
granted itself the right to use automatic
voting machines, we trust that they
Will come into general use at the cleo
tion two years hence. Aside from the
question of free ballot and a fair
count, which is all important, that OF
comparative expense is to be consld-
cred. Ten men can vote by a machine
while one is preparing his blanket bal
lot in a booth. This means that at
least half and possibly two thirds of the
city polling places now required could
be abandoned, and the pay of their
clerks and watchers saved The great
printing bill would also be eliminated
and whatever the cost of the machines
might be the difference in the expense
of voting methods would soon balance
the account and thereafter make the
cost of elections very much less.
A Mobile man complains that though
the appointment of the present Secre-
tary of the Navy was regarded as rec
ognition Of the South" yet the only
Southern town after which he has
named a warship is Montgomery, "a
place away up the creek and for eleven
months out Of the twelve to be reached
only on stills" When criticism of this
kind is INDUCED in how delightful it is
to fill official positions, says the New
York Times" That is true; and, by
the way, there is a great deal of just
such criticism indulged in along the
whole line of the public service. We
doubt if there ever yet was a public Of
f1cial who wholly escaped it. If he
did he was a goody-goody sort of fellow,
with not enough of independence and
originality to be worthy of the place he
filled.
