Consul in British Columbia Says

WASHINGTON, Dec. limited States
Consul Dudley at Vancouver, B, c., has in
formed the State department that after an
inquiry into the circumstances attending the
alleged kidnapping of the American, Everett,
across the Canadian line from the town of
Republic. Wash, he has concluded that the
man was wrongfully arrested, He has
mailed a detailed report to the State de-
partment as basis for action, in this case
probably a demand for the return of the
man to the United States.
Everett was charged with stage robbery
and the consul shows that the officials OF
Ferry county, Washington, were chiefly to
blame and not the Canadian officers for the
kidnapping.

VOTING BY MACHINERY.


 It is somewhat surprising that in the
 talk about election reform in this
 country little has besn said for the
 general introduction Cf the voting ma
 chimes which in the recent election in
 New York syalte gave re-fe e-t sats,sc-
 tiCn according to uncontradicted ac- counts, and seemed to present those
 ideal voting conditions which gre de- sired by all homes. men. Most of the
 discussions over proposed reforms have
 produced merely suggestions Of reme
 dies for the present defect or the in troduction Of plans that have been
 found in other cOmmonwealth5 to Ee
 far from perfect. All Gh3 wisdom Of
 our legislators cannot te expec c-ed to
 devise an election system which will
 be proof against fraud 50 long as msn handle the ballots The automatic m T.
 chine, it is argued by it's friends, can
 not be cheated and IS absolutely se
 cret. Many commorwe1l have
 wre@tled with this question only to be d sappointed in greater CT 1sss degree,
 but the advantages Of the New York
 voting machine are so overwhelming as to leave no room for dispute ss to it's comparative merits. It is zs ear sim
 plicity as seems possible. The v1teT sees ? number of levers hesring the names of candidates for office. He ca1 vote a straight ticket or Ea can vote for individual candidates Cn the dif- farent tickets; or he can vote a straight ticket With the exception of a few candidates The machine is so constructed that it improves upon court decisions, and will not permit a voter to. spoil his ballot. The ma chine is absolutely secret. Not until the voter leaves the room is the vote recorded, and then the levers fly back, efTaCing all record Of the individuals vote It is honest, because ic $ so con- structed that no man can vote for mo Q than the proper number of cand dates, cr vote mere than OEce. It is 9 g12at saving of cost, dispensing with the present waste of ballo,s, millions Of which are printed never to te used. And last. though net least, 2 great ad- vantage of the machine is in the say ing of time, both in the process of vt ing and counting; indeed there is no counting necessary, for the machine adds as it gees along. and the c-ose of the polls discloses the result instaI-- 1y. In Rochester, where the ma-iSfncs were used, the result of the b1' letting in the last election was known hours before the rest of the state was heard from The vexa,i0us delays of over | bUrdened or ignorant e-eltiCn officers are abolished, and with mach nes i1 | general use 1t should be possible 10 know the result in a city or state with in two hours after the polls are closed. | All the law necessary fer elections by | this means woud be simple and clear i, statutes providing for the secrecy of the booths in which the machines rest f and the proper decision by cleo ion boards as to who is entitled to vote. !
