Major Hudson's Opinion Of the Kansas
Ballot Law.

The new law governing the
ballot in Kansas ought to be
amended by the incoming legis-
lature. More than 10000 citi-
zens have been disfranchised be-
cause they did not mark their
ballots exactly as the new laws
directs. The point the Herald
makes is that a ballot that can
not be voted correctly without
10 per cent of the voters losing
their vote needs simplifcation
and needs it badly. A law gov
corning the manner of voting,
that ignores the constitutional
right of the citizen to be heard
at the ballot box, that does not
recognize the intention of his
ballot, ought to be changed. No
technicalities or unnecessary
difficulties should be placed in
the way of the voter expressing
his preferences in his vote. That
sort of thing is all right in Miss
issippi Or South Carolina, where
they are proud of the injustice
that defeats the will OF the voter,
but it is not called for nor should
it be tolerated in Kansas.
The plain truth of the matter
is that the law was intended to
be a stumbling block for fusion
and is a very small and unnecess-
airy advantage to take in a Re
publican state by Republicans.
Every voter has the right to
have his Judgment recorded at
the ballot box without danger OF
having it defeated by technical
and poorly understood details as
to the manner of marking his
ticket.-GeneralJ j. K. Hudson in
the Topeka Herald.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
NARRAGANSETT PIER, August IA, 1902.
As far as dress goes 1t is a white sea-
son by the sea and on the hill tops, but a
deep shade Of blue would better express the
feelings Of the hotelkeepers and other min
istering agencies to fashionable comfort at
most Of the summer resorts. The weather
has been too cool and entirely to capricious.
Most of the old habitues are back at the
Pier. however, for such are its fascinations
that few who come once are able after
ward to Withstand the temptation. The
destruction by fire of the Casino q season
or two ago did away with the main rem
devious of the liveliest SET but 1t has
stimulated considerable front yard energy
about the hotels and in the village,
frightened up the Point Judith Coun-
try Club and opened up the vicinity
of Earlscourt. the Little Casino and
cottages. splendid driveway now con-
meets the village and the Little Casino
lawns and over 1t travels every hour of
the day the wealth and fashion of the
place. Horseless vehicles of all sizes and
motive power only divide the honors Of the
road with the trotters driven in the bright
est runabouts, and are just as up-to-date
style with young women as with the men.
Autos and locos and all the rest Of the
rapd-transit conveniences have not ex-
cluded the fast horse yet by any means.
Horseback riding has resumed its old-time
supremacy in the daily program Of the
fashionable set. and at the Pier has evil
IDENTIFY twice as much attention given it as
golf or tennis.
White is universally worn both at New
port and Narragansett, both morning and
afternoon. Meeting the guests from the
Thatcher-Davies wedding last Saturday at
Newport each carriage seemed loaded with
billowy flounces of lace and chiffon. These
perishable materials that would seem more
appropriate for inland wearing have put
silks and satins and similar fabrics out of
sight this season. At the bathing pavilion
at the Pier the promenaders come dressed
In the daintiest Of silk muslins, all-over
laces etc., ruffled and furbelowed or with
medallions and insertions Of costly laces
