VOTiN0 BY MACHINE.

II Is said an attempt will I've made to
get the next Legislature of Illinois 20
pass bill to authorize the use of voting
machines at elections In Chicago AMI
perhaps I'm the State at large. The
proposition Is one deserving Of the care.
ful consideration of legislators.
The voting machine ~ said to insure
accuracy. secrecy and honesty fully rs
well rs. IL not better than. the present
Australian ballot system. 1t does away
with printed ballots. the cost of which
under the present syst an Is very heavy.
1t also lessons very much the labor of
judges and clerks Of election In the
counting of ballots ana makes possible
the announcement of the results within
u few minutes after the polls have
closed. Voting machines were used IN
the city Of Rochester. \. v. at the cleo.
ton last fall, ana the returns from the
city were ready for announcement,
within forty minutes after the polls
were closed. With this system In gen
eral Use citizens would not have ~ stay
up SO late election nights In order to
learn the results.
With the growth In size Of the blan
ket ballot. AMI with the increased ten
dcncy to independent voting. the work
of counting the ballots Is becoming d
very burdensome task. At the recen,
election In Chicago judges and clerks
were kept busy until very late the mex
morning In many precincts counting
the votes. II this task can be llglitenet

to decide Is whether the machines nov

THE ELEVATOR TRUST DEFES
THE COURTS.

Judge Tulcy entered an order in the
case of the people against the Central
Elevator Company recently. 1t will
reopen the fight between the grain
shippers and elevator men. Last June
the courts finally decrced that elevator
men could not store their grain In their
own warehouses, on the ground that 1t
disseminated against the shippers. Be.
fore the decision the Illinois Leglsla-
ture amended the warehouse act so as
to enable the warehouse men TO store
their own grain. and they have been
doing 1t regardless of the decision of
the Supreme Court. Now tho grain men
propose to test the validity Of the act
by bringing I'm the warehouse men for
contempt of court, and the first case is
brought by the Attorney General
against the Central Elevator Company.

NEEDED WORDS FROM THE BENCH.

In charging the grand jury Judge
Waterman of the Circuit Court laid
down specifically some truths that
should he more generally known In this
community. Speaking of the crime of
bribery. he said: Moreover. IL those
who are to receive or who expect to- re-
ccivc the profits of such criminal action
act through agents. however indirectly.
they are equally guilty with those who
hand over the vile stipend for which
the legal action Is to I've done. The
statute of this state provides as to ac-

for recrcancy held up to weak humanity

In morals. rs under the statute. the

The next of kin of n number of Chi

have filed suits against the steam

company.
The reparat!on thus sought Is p!tiful
enough when compared with the injury
inflicted upon II child, say, whose par

victims had lost their lives through the
grOsSest carclcssness on the part of any

next of kin would have found that they
could claim damages to the amount of
$1,000 only.
The law which thus limits the amount
of damages recoverable for II sacrificed
