THE SECRET BALLOT BOX.
IFrom the washington Post.l

LFrom the Washington Post.l
There is no feature of improved cleo
ton laws more important than the
secret ballot. There is no more con-
venient device for promoting and pro-
tecting fraud in elections than decisions
of courts which declare the secrecy of
the ballot box inviolable under any and
all circumstances. The secret ballot
gives every voting citizen an opportu-
nifty to exercise his own judgment or
preference as to parties and candidates,
uninfuenced by intimidation, threats of
discharge, or any consideration but his
own free will. But if a ballot box
stuffed with fraudulent votes is to be
treated as thing too sacred for courts
to investigate, all that a party has to
do to win elections is to put its rascals
in charge of the ballot boxes and give
them a hint as to how much stuffing is
required to put the minority on top.
No friend of honest elections can pre-
sent a valid objection to the secret bal
lot Its adoption has been resisted by
influences that do not make for purity
in politics or honesty in government. No
consistent friend of ballot reform ever
has objected or ever will object to a
judicial opening of a ballot box when
ever there is good ground for the be-

There is no home so sacred that. in
the interest of justice, the law cannot
open it and examine all that it con-
tains, not sparing the beds that may be
actually occupied at the time. There
is no grave so sacred that, in the in
terests of the public, the law cannot
authorize corporation to build a rail-
road over it. And yet there are courts
which declare that the secrecy of a bal
lot box must not be invaded, no matter
