New Form of Ballot.

The proposed new Australian ballot law
does away with party emblems, and the voter
who cannot read will be kept guessing how to
vote his party ticket. We have not seen the
bill and are not prepared to pass judgment
upon it, but generally speaking we can see no
objection to such an educational test for vo
tiers. The state and counties have maintained
public schools and spent millions of dollars to
provide free opportunities for education in
the past thirty years, and the voter who
cannot read ballot would only have himself
to blame for his dislranchisement.

PAUL REVERE PARALLELED
Daring Ride of Jim Watts Through
Hostile Chinese Territory.


Paul Revere's ride has for more than a
century been the admiration of the world.
Yet it Is cast in the shade by jim Watts
OF Tien Tsin. Instead of friendly colon
lists along the road to receive the warn
ing of an approaching enemy. Jim Watts
rode through hordes OF hostile Chinese.
He galIoped sixty miles from Tien Tsin
to Taku, arriving with one arm hanging
helpless by his side but otherwise none
the worse for his race to the coast.
When the Boxers, after two days she'll
ing. had almost exhausted and overcome
the foreigners in Tien TSin nine men
Of the legations started down the river in
the hope Of reaching TalSu and procuring
assistance from Admiral Kempff for the
besieged foreigners at Tien Tsin. One
OF the men was r. H. MacIay. interpre-
ter of the American consulate. Later in
the day word came back that the boat
had been killed by the Boxers This re-
port proved 20 be untrue, although the
to escape from the Chinese.
When the first report reached Tien Tsin
however. Jim Watts volunteered to ride
TO Taku and deliver the message to Ad-
lniral Kempff. Watts is a son OF Captain
Watts, a Taku pilot, and was born in
CHINA twenty-five years ago. Although
he knew the danger. Watts was in the
saddle and ready 20 start alone, when his
friends prevailed upon him to accent an
escort of three COssacks. Shells were
screaming over Gordon hall when Watts
eft and the bullets were falling in the
streets
Entering a village at breakneck speed.
Watts and the COssacks would dash
through the narrow streets or lanes
Watts had occasion now and then to use
the lash on some Cinnamon. who by their
manner appeared 30 be making an effort
70 catch his horse by the bridle, and the
Cossacks Piled their whips with great eff
feet. At daylight Taku and the warships
beyond were sighted. Watts FASTENED to
the landing. and, securing boatman he
was soon on board of Admiral Kempa' <
flagship. The message was the first init
nation that Admiral kempff had received
mat the Americans and others at Tien
Tsin We're ia any great danger and that

MISSING SULTAN OF SULU.
CPhfladelphia Record.O


The disappearg1see of the sultan of
Sulu is altogether too timely and too
advantageous to the administration at
Washington to be regarded as an i'm
penetrable mystery We do not ven
ture much in predicting that the preSi-
dent will not put detectives on the
trail of the lost potentate and fellow
ruler even to recover the $50, 900 which
he carried away. 10
. The sultan of SuIu, it will be recalled,
was the absolute monarch of an island
of the Philippine archiDelago that is
peopled by Mohammedans who were
Included in the treaty of Paris and be-
came in theory subjects of the United
states. These people had been pirates
and, like other Mohammedans, they
practice polygamy. As the TagaIs and
their friends in the hills provided all
the instruction the administration
needed, even for campaign uses, it
made peace overtures to Che sultan.
N return for a sum of money and a
recognition of his sovereign. rights Tin
Guiding the right of innUmerabie
wiveS) the sultan acknowledged the
supremacy of the United States.
The anti-imperialists have been par
ticularly acrid in their criticisms of the
administration on this subject. AS a
good Methodist and the president of a
cepubiic whose laws forbid polygamy
and an absolute monarchy. Mr.. McKin-

government at Washington, should be

De forced TO admit that under the stars
and StripeS heather monarch with
harem has power of life and death.
Probably at no time since the anti-im-
perlaliStS began their pointed remarks
would Chairman Hanna have refused
20 give 100000 TO anybody who would
rid the president of the Sulu chief and
his un-Christian and un-American
system Of social and political life.
Now the sultan has gone with $4,000
that did not belong to him. Some
months ago it was repOrted-from
Washington, not Manila-that the
monarch had been offended by the
tariff on rice and had started on

since he would have taken the shorter

commander at JOlo. learns that the sui

jOr has his own reason for making the
inquiry. The deserted wives of the
sultan have invaded the commanders
tent and they insist that as he is the
virtual successor to the lost rulers au-
thOrity, he is bound to succeed to his
harem also. Major Sweet is more eager
than the administration at Washing
ton for the sultan's return. The sus-
pic1On grows that one of the many per-
sonal commissioners of the president

money and disappear in order to re-
