Sngrestions for AmendIng the ELECTION Law.


Editor Of The Times
Sir;-If there are any members OF the
Legislature inclined TO have the Parker
Walton election law so amended as to
secure honest elections in this State tho
Following changes in that law are re-
specially suggested 10 those members.
First. Abolish the electoral boards and
provide that each regularly organized
political party i'm the State shall he en-
titled 10 az least one judge Of election
for each voting precinct. 10 be appointed
by the judge OF the county court on the
recommendation OF the county chairman
Of each party.
This viii insure capable and hosest
judges of election, but failing 20 do so.
there viii be no complaint from either
party, except as 10 the failure OF the
county chairman I'm selecting good men.
To the next place, SO change the law
That when a voter presents himself at
the polls 90 vote one OF the judges of
election shall furnish him with a ballot;
WhereupOn, if the voter Us able to nm
his own ballot. he shall retire 10 the,
booth, hll the same, return IL 20 the
Judges, one or whom shall deposit ID in
the ballot box. but Of the voter. because
OF iliteracy or from any other cause. 10
incapable of nlllng his ballot he shalt
designate one of the judges 20 hll the
ballot for him.
The Judge designated by the voter shall
read 20 the voter The names of an the
candidates OF each party printed on tho
ballot. and i'm the presence of the other
Judges, prepare the ballot as directed by
the voter and when SO prepared shall
read the names of the candidates whose
names are not erased 10 the voter. and
deposit the ballot IN the ballot box in the
presence of the voter.
ln this way 10 is believed the vice of
the present law. SO much complained OF.
That is. the want of capable and honest
Judges. and the temptation 20 fraud on
the part of the cOnstables. or the Judges
selected 10 hll The ballots OF ilitcrate
voters will be emcctually remedied.

BITS OF LAW
Terms Of Teachers Contract Law to
Be Soon Settled

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 22-The In
terest In superior court matters centers
this week in the case of May Newell,

education for the fulfillment of her con-
tract to teach four years, only one of
which was carried out by the board, when

the contracts of the old. Preparations
have been elaborate for the trial, and to-
morrow 1t will come up in Department one.
The case of Julia Warner against her
husband, an engineer on the Santa Fe, has

was ordered to pay her S100 extra for at
torney fee and costs to defend the case
against him.

work accumulates that is of Importance
to the organization, and which must be
disposed Of in the interest of the great work
which the Y. M. G. A. is doing in the state.

EirearmS Are Not TOYS

Two more deaths have lately resulted
from didn't know it was loaded" accidents
a mother killing her babe, and boy al
most having his head blown off. Revolvers
and guns are dangerous under all circum-
stances Firearms are not toys. 1t is also
unsafe to tIifle with what are termed
minor ailments. Insignificant though they
seem at first, they are likely, if precau-
tions against their further development are
neglected, or they are unwisely treated, to
develop into maladies of dangerous and
complex magnitude. The best way is to
arrest their progress at the start with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which checks
constipation, liver complaint and rheumat-
ism, malaria, kidney trouble and nervous
ness. A decline in health is something
we cannot afford to disregard. Nature al
ways exacts a severe penalty for contin-
uous heedlessness of her warnings. In
dependently of it's sterling efficacy as a
specific for chronic maladies, the Bitters
is a superb tonic and promoter of appetite
and sleep.

A PITILEss JANIToR
Capital Punishment on Dog Resent
ed by the Scholars

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 22.-There is
trouble at the F-street school, an indignant
crowd OF scholars and janitor, wNo lodges
around corners and thinks that life is
hardly worth the living, and all on account
or little no-account specimen of a dog of
tender years. The young canine was a
waif or stray and took up with life around
the school house. as he was fond of young
company, and he got it in large doses.
The 5anitor tried to drive it away in vain.
but 1t was case of "come back' every
time. At last patiencec eased to be vir-
tue, and. not wishing to shed blood or
leave telltale marks of carmine to show
his work, the janitor tried the original
method Of getting rid of his persistent
nuisance by the use of the rope after the
manner of removing the surplus stock os
horse thieves on the frontier. The canine
was hung up by the neck in the most ~
proved style of the art and left to vacafe
life as quickly as possible Fortunatelv
for the dog, but unfortunately for tbe
hangman, the children discovered the. fate
of their pet. and a dozen jackknives
flashed In the air at once and the rome wa q
cut, the victim of mans inhumanitv to
dogs was gasping back to life in the arms
of its deliverers, while the indignant
youngsters hunted for the janitor. The
result would have been disastrous to him
but he sought safety in flight until the
storm was over.

The Long women's Case

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 22.-Attorney Gray
who is. counsel for the Long womer
charged with perjury, has secured another
order of habeas corpus from the supreme
court which directs that the women be
taken before the court at San Francisco
there to have their case inquired into. This
move will probably decide whether the
authorities of this county can lock people
up for weeks at time without preferrine
any charge III the regular form so that the
accused can make defense. The general
impression here is that the case against
the women is not good and that there is
not the least chance in the world to convict
them. This present move. namely, to take
the two women to San Francisco will cost
the county lot of money. all to satisfy the
spite of one man. who was instrumental In
securing the indictment against the
women
