The Australian ballot law was con
ceived for the purpose of preventing
the purchase of votes 1t was thought
that when voters were required to 90
into the booths and mark and fold
their ballots in secret it would put an
end to corruption, because the pur-
chaser of a vote would not be able to
know that the ballot was cast accord
ING 10 agreement, That something
has been accomplished in this direc-
ton is not to be denied. The time has
passed when a lot OF corrupted voters
can be rounded up under the eye Of
the purchaser and east with him look
ing into the ballot box. Curiously
enough, however, the law itself affords
an opportunity for purchasing votes
and knowing how they are cast that
even the old method did not give.
When the Australian law was passed,
il was foreseen that in certain cases
voters might be unable to properly
mark their ballots. Some provision
had to be made for these. According
~, it was decrecd that any voter might
select one of the so-called ballot clerks
10 90 into the booth with him and see
that he marked his ballot correctly.
Under this apparently fair provision,
the evil creeps in. Mr.. A buys Mr.. BIS
vote on condition that b calls in Bal
lot Clerk C,who is knowing TO the deal.
to prove that he votes according to
a agreement. II is done, and Mr.. 4 has
absolute knowledge that his money
was not wasted. Under the old law.
the voter could sometimes manage
to cheat the party from whom he re-
ceiyed the money, but under the pres
ent method there is no escape for him.
These cases are not common, but the
thing has been done. Weare glad to
believe that there is in Vermont no
general desire to carry elections in
this way. Sometimes we even question
the wisdom Of placing the voters in the
attitude of suspicion that the Austral-
ian law invites. But if any method of
guarding against the evil is TO be fol-
lowed, the loop-hole that now exists
ought to be effectually plugged up.
This could be done by requiring that
ballot clerks representing both parties
should assist the voter. when he re-
quired assistance. and that the officer
presiding at the polls should designate
them. The loose way in which the
present law is observed in many places
practically utilities its effect. Where
there Is an earnest attempt to purchase
and sell votes. the law proves very
/ Intellectual barrier. The last legisla-
turc attempted to correct some Of the
/ faulty provisions Of the law. but it was
an lost in the shuttle somewhere.

The case grew souts Of a division in
this church many years ago, since
which time one division has been
known as the liberals and the other
as the radicals. The, decision render
ed by Judge Lurton was from unan-
imous court. and 1t sustained Judge
Taft in giving the property to the lib
erals as against the radicals.
This decision from the federal court
Is in accordance with similar decis-
ions that have been rendered by the
supreme court Of Ohio. Pennsylvania,
Indiana. Illinois. Oregon and Mis-
souri,.
The liberal church has been repre-
sented by ex-Congressmen Gunkel and
McMahon.f 1t is stated by the liberals
that they have been compelled to
spend about $4,000 in defending these
suits from the radicals for church
property In the different states. In
some of the states decisions have been
rendered in favor of the radicals, but
the decision Of federal court Of final
jurisdiction in such cases ends this lit
igation. which has been going on all
over the country for almost ten years.
