NEEDED cAANGES IN THE
ELECTION LAW.

The NEWS heartily endorses the fol-
lowing extract from the editorial col
umn of the Carson Appeal. We adyo-
Gated the same changes two years ago
and with each recurring election the
desirability of simplifying the method
of voting as far as possible, without de-
stroying any of the good features OF the
Australian ballot law, becomes more
and more apparent. The Appeal says;
"Anyone who looks at the ballots
that were cast in this city on the 9th,
will realize the absolute necessity of
the passage of law requiring the use
of rubber stamp in voting.
MANY ballots were rejected because
the voter made check mark on his
ballot, while some made a sign like V
Instead of and X and some placed marks
like an o. The ballots were rejected
under the law, yet the last decision of
the Supreme Court was TO the effect
that the intention of the voter was to
BIZ recognized in the counting for 1t Is
clear that any sort OF mark after a
name could convey the idea to the
counters what the voters Intentions
were.
An attempt was made in the Senate
four years ago to pass a bill allowing
the Use OF a rubber stamp. 1t was
championed by Senator .McCone and
fought persistently by Sardis Summer
field. 1t was beaten by one vote and
when Summerfield was asked why he
fought such law, he replied with a
cunning chuckle, that the present law
was productive of recounts and good
for the lawyers. " Possibly Mr.. Nc
MILAN will realize the full force of this
remark. y
The Appeal also advocates change
In the arrangement of the names OF the
candidates on the ballots, by placing
all of the nominees of each party in a
column by themselves, with their party
name and emblem at the top. A circle
is also placed at the head of each col
umn, and If the voter wishes to vote
his party ticket straight, one cross in
the circle at the top does the work.
On the other hand, there is nothing to
prevent a man from voting mixed
ticket if he wants to, just as at present,
by placing crosses after the names of
the individual candidates for whom he
desires to vote. This method has been
adopted in nearly every State in which
the Australian ballot is used, and has
in our opinion decided advantages over
our own system.
We also believe that the act of the
last Legislature limiting the number
OF sample ballots to one for each voter
and that one not to be issued until
election day, is piece of very poor
economy and should be repealed.

The burning OF the negro, Porter, to
the stake in Colorado the other day,
is only another proof that it is a very
frail barrier that separates the most
civilized people from barbarism. Six
hundred men stolidly looking on while
their victim writhed and shrieked as
the flames scorched his limbs, and then
pilng additional fuel on his PROSTATE
body when part of the chains had given
way, presents a picture that would
have done credit to band of Apaches
The negro probably deserved the pun
ishment which he received but we can
not but feel that the manner in which
it was melted out was too terrible, too
diabolical to be INDUCED in by Ameri-
can citizens.

Probable Change of Time on the

reach that place at about 8 O'Clock in

about o'clock in the Afternoon, con-
Meeting at Palisade with the east bound
train that passes that place at 6:3O in
the evening. II the new schedule goes
into effect passengers for San Francisco

it reached Island Mountain and yicin-
ity. Now it is at fuckers, 40 miles
from Elko, and the next thing known
it will be here. a quarantine should
be declared, or more care taken to keep
the disease from spreading all over the
county"

Registered Indians.

According to the Belmont Courier,
II. p. Stimler, the registry agent for
that precinct, registered three Indians,
and in order to cover up his crooked
work refused to have the list printed .

insufficient to convince the agent of his
error and finally a challenge signed
by 81 electors was presented to the
judges of election on he morning of
the 9th. The Indians appeared at the
polls but were refused ballots when
they attempted to vote.

INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
liners Has Begun an Effort to CONF
pei Physicinns to Report.

The state board of medical examf.
ners has begun an effort to compel physi-
clans to report infectious diseases.
Through incompetence or negligence,
or to serve the ignorant and selfish wish
of patrons, some physicians have all
lowed infectious diseases to GO under
some other name or to be secreted, ana
the result was that an epidemic waa
started. Three Iowa physicians have
beennotitied to appear before the board
at its meeting in August to show cause
why their certificates should not be
revoked for incompetency, because they
failed to recognize and properly diag4
nose and report infectious diseases.
The result of their ignorance or neglect
was that the efforts of the state and
local boards of health to protect the
people were defeated. The diseases
spread and deaths occurred. If tho
board can make it understood that ii
is the intention to use the power Of
the board even to the point of taking
away physicians certificate to en-.
force this law it will be more generally
respected,
