SITE FOR POLICE BUILDING.
to Secure Ground for a
Substa tfOu.

The District Commissioners have decided
to continue the condemnation proceedings
recently instituted for the purpose of Sc
curing a site on the Tenleytown road for
a subpolice station, the land in question
being owned in part by Christian Heurich.
Mr.. Heurich made an offer to sell a GER
tain other tract Of land to the Commission
ers subsequent to the institution of the
condemnation proceedings at small price
provided the proceedings Were stopped.
The Commissioners accepted the offer with
the understanding that they could secure
enough Of an adjoining tract owned by
Mrs. NJ. E. French to make up the nee
essary area. 1t has now been ascertaiRed
that the desired additional land cannot be
secured without taking all of the front Of
Mrs. French's property, thus cutting her
Off from access to the back part of her
land, which consists of a4aGut two acres.
The matter has been referred to the city
solicitor as to the proper course of action
in regard to annulling the former order
and continuing the proceedings.

tIates nave their Offices In the county be-

Ihe committee Of the Bar Association has
practically agreed to recommend that one

tne remainder OF the District be divided SO
as TO nave portion Of each subdistrict

PENNYPACKER AND BALLOT RE-
FORM

During his recent V in Penn
s%ylvania G~overnor-elect Pennypacker
made the statement that he was in
favor Of ballot reform. though he could
not believe the truth of half the sto-
ries told about election frauds in Phil
adelphia. If Mr.. P~ennypacker would
study the results of the election in two
of the wards of that city ne would need
no further proof of the existence Of
grossest kind of frauds in his election.
In the Third ward of the city McKin-
ley received 1,73S votes in 1900. The re-
turns of the late election gave Penny
packer $3.50. This ward is in a quarter
of the city where it IS said the popu-
lation is decreasing rather than in
creasing. From the Fifth ward, where
the population is said not tC have in
creased in the last to ear Penny
packer vas given SIG votes against
McKinley's 1867 two years ago. The
total vote in these two WARDS was 81
500 this year against $40 in the Nc
Kinley election. An increase of 1000
votes in two city wards N which there

rather a decrease. Still Mr.. Penny
packer says the stories about election
frauds in hat city are greatly exag-
gerated. These returns show upon
their face frauds so gross and SO vile
that account of them could not be
exaggerated if any one thought it
worth while to make the attempt at
exaggeration. 1t was the results of this
election, manipulated by one standing
high in the councils of the republican
party, in which we were told that
President Roosevelt took such keen
interest" So long as United States
senators conduct elections on such
systems of fraud and corruption and
have the moral backing Of the presi-
e of the country through his keen
interest in the result there is not much
hope for ballot reform. 1t would be
interesting to know what klnd of bal
lot reform Pennypacker and Quay
would institute if they were given the
work to perform.

another good service in the preparation

Convention of 1861" contained in one Of

in the Southern ~Confederacy. 1t also
has a sketch of each member and Off

the other legislation enacted in prepara-
ton for putting the state upon a war
footing are given. 1t is ar interesting
publication, containing information
concerning those stirring times which
the general public would find hard to
secure elsewhere. This pamphlet
should be made one of the public docu-
ments of the state for the time will
soon come. if it has not already ar
rived, when the people will know little
or nothing about the personnel or the
proceedings of that famous body whose
decision wrought such a revolution in
the state and made such a radical
change for all time to come in the con-
ditions existing from the formation Of
the federal union. 1t should be pre-
served and read-in no spirit of thresh-
ing over old straw or barking pack to
the old days of strife and animosity
between the states. but as a convenient
reference for information regarding
events and ~personages of those days.
