The question of more wards or more
voting precincts, for the city of Mari
eta is one that is being discussed
with much interest by our people. The
law governing this question is as fol-
lows:
I'm all municipalities where regis
tration is not required, and in town
ships, when five hundred votes or more
have been cast at the last preceding
November election in any ward or
township, or in any precinct therein,
such ward, township, or election pre-
cinct may, or, when majority of the
voters petition therefor, shall be divid-
ed by the deputy state supervisors, as
hereinafter provided, into two or more
election precincts, so as to limit the
number OF votes in each ward or pre-
cinct to three hundred, as nearly as
may be practicable; and from time to
time, any or all Of such precincts may
be rearranged, subd,vided, or combin-
ed, as often as may be deemed neces-
sary or the convenience of the electors
and the prompt and correct conduct of
the elections may require. At least
thirty days previous to any election,
the officers above named shall give ten
days notice, by publication in two
papers of opposite politics published in
the county, that the question whether
the township, ward or precinct shall
be divided, changed or combined will
be considered on a day named in said
notice. On said day or some subse-
quent day to which the matter may be
adjourned, the question of dividing,
changing or combining said precinct
shall be heard, and, if there are no re-
monstrances against said division,
change or combination, they shall de-
clare the same, and the precincts so es-
tablished but if any twelve electors of
such precincts demonstrate against
such division, change or combination.
The matter shall be heard and determ-
'hSu' anu outh OluSi Ildut LOT VI
against such division, change or COM
as is deemed proper"
Section 1926 provides further: "In
cities of the first. third and fourth
grades in the first class, and in cities
Of the second class, when six hundred
votes or more have been cast at the
last preceding election in any ward, or
in any precinct in any ward, such ward
or election precinct shall be divided
by the board of elections hereinafter
provided for, into two or more election
precincts, so as to limit the number of
votes in each ward or precinct to three
as nearly as may be practi-
cable. And from time to time the said
BOARD shall rearrange, subdivide or
combine precincts thereafter as often
Is it may deem such action necessary
And in cities OF the second grade in the |
lrst class, the board of elections there
If may divide, combine or rearrange |
my ward or election precinct so as to |
ecure the convenience of electors and |
he prompt and correct conduct of cleo
ions"
1t is likely that the present popula-
ion OF Marietta brings it under the
PROVISIONS OF Section 1926.

OUR DUTY TO FILIPINOS.


NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-President j. G..

address, on "Our Duty to the Philippines

Schurman summed up the duty of the
American government as follows: ITO pro-
tect American soldiers and life to protect
the lives of Fiipinos and their property
who would be loyal, to stamp out guerrilla
warfare, TO creace such permanency Of
power that every man, woman and child IN
the archipelago will know that we mean to
stamp out this warfare. In addition, to
send there an army so large and perma-
nent that Ii can accomplish those four OBJ
jects.
General Lawton told me-" declared the
speaker, that an army of 100000 men
would be needed, and reports from the
islands prove it, l hope and pray that
Congress will not consider the matter in
a penny-wise and pOund-foolish way. Do
not send sufficient force, but an over
whelming force. Nothing has hurt us SO
much i'm the Philippines as changing our
army and withdrawing part of it. They
said that we were going to give up the job
/ pray that Congress will give us an army
large enough to wind UP the business. The
greater preliminary cost will mean the
greater economy i'm the long run.

plot foreign lands for our benefit at home
The islands come as the inevitable result

all the home rule they are capable Of That
Is the immediate duty. Leave the rest to

TROUBLE AT STANFORD
HEAD PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS
AND SOCIOLOGY RESIGNS.
Statement by President Jordan. of the
University-Dr. Ross's Dismissal
Denounced by DIR. Howard.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, Nov. 10.
DIR. Edward Ross, head professor in the
department of economics and sociology at
Stanford University, has resigned. The
resignation caused quite a. sensation in
university circles, where DR.. Ross was ex-
tremely popular. In his formal letter of
resignation DR.. Ross intimated that he was
being forced out of the university by Mrs.
Stanford, who had taken exceptions to
statements made by him in his public adj
dresses on sociological and economic ques-
tions. He further said that Mrs. Stanford
was prompted by certain powerful persons
and commercial interests in San Francisco.
Several of the faculty have taken sides
with DIR. Ross.
President Jordan to-day said: ''In re-
gard to the resignation of DR.. Ross, it is
right that / should make further state
ment. There is not the slightest evidence
that he is a martyr TO freedom of speech.
Nor Is there any reason to believe that
his withdrawal has been due to any pres
sure of capital or any other sinister infiu-
ence / know that Mrs. Stanfords de-
cision was reached only after long and
earnest consideration, and that its motive
was the welfare of the university, and tina,
alone. The sentence quoted in San Fran
cisco morning paper to the effect that men
OF large intereStS-EaStern financierS, q
the relations of DR.. Ross is one which
cannot accept as having been uttered by
me. The interests to which the reporter
meant to refer were interests in economic
science, not in finance
Upon being shown Dr. Jordan's state
ment DR.. Ross dictated the following: 'Dr
Jordan knows vastly more than / do as &c
Mrs. Stanford's motives. Whatever he
says is conclusive, so far as l am con-
cerned. Lit is absolutely certain, however
that the freedom of speech is involved
not in my appearance, personality char
acter, but solely my nonpartisan scientific
utterances have been the root of Mrs
Stanfords distrust of me-"
experimenting former utterances on the
subject of Professor Ross dismissal, DR.
Howard to-day addressed his class in his
tory upon the matter, and his address
forms the most sensational statement that
has yet been delivered in the Ross contro-
versy. The entire hour of the class was
given up to the discussion of free
speech DIR. Howard arraigned the in
fiuence that brought about the dismissal OF
the professor. Professor Howard conclud-
ed his speech with this sensational utter
ance: II do not bow down to Saint Mar
ket street. L do not doff my hat 10 the Six
Companies, neither am / afraid of the
Standard Oil Company"
