HOW The INDIANS VOTE.

they Are Very Deliberate and Then
Have 81 Simple Method.
The Chickasaw Indians cast their
vote differently from the way the
white man does it. They meet the day
before the election, and none but
Chickasaws by blood is allowed to
vote. No white man or intermarried
citizens have the right of suffrage
They go off to themselves and have
powwow. They decide for whom they
will vote after considering the matter
for twenty-four hours.
The polling place is quite unlike that
of the white man. There is a great
sheet of paper, white, yellow or brown
as the case may be, about three feet
square. Upon this sheet of paper are
vast number of cross lines, regularly
ruled off with pencil. Then down
one side of the sheet of paper are
placed the names of all candidates for
office, beginning with the candidates
for governor and running on down to
precinct officers. At the top of the
sheet are the number of blank spaces
that will be required for the names of
the voters. The judges of election sit
by and pass on those entitled to vote,
and there is certainty that no illegal
votes are cast.
The Indian is thoroughly deliberate.
He takes his time when it comes to
voting. He proceeds to the polling
place, looks carefully over the poll
sheet, and if he is ready to cast his
ballot he calls out his name, and the
clerk records it on the sheet. Then the
clerk reads off the names of the can
didates for governor. The voter DELHI
crates awhile, calls out the name of
the candidate for whom he desires to
vote, his vote is recorded and the
names of the candidates for the next
Office are called out, and so on through
the list, till all the offices represented
are voted for.
Thus it is that every voter knows
exactly how every other voter has cast
his ballot, and there are no remarks,
no suggestions and no quarrels over
differences of opinion.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
Discussed by State and County Health
 Officers Yesterday.

'
 New Haven, Aug 22-An important meeting of the state board of health
 was held yesterday in Osborn hall, Yale university, to hear the opinions of 1 town and county health, officers con- cerning the proposed regulation as to compulsory vaccination of school chill dren. All but a few of the town health officers in Connecticut were l present. At times the discussion was spirited. The concensus of opinion,
 however, seemed to be that the pro- posed regulation would be a salutary order and should be enforced at once. ] 1t is recommended by the town health officers to the state board of health, The former held meeting to consid- l CT the matter several weeks ago. The members of the state board of health who were present were Presi- dent William H. Brewer. Dr Joseph K. Townsend, W, H. Mckenzie, Henry I G. Newton and the secretary, Dr c. A. Lindsley of New Haven.
 George M. Gum of Milford. repre- senting the seiectmen of that town ob- 1ected to the proposed regulation. He suggested that no action be taken un- l til after September on the ground that | the people are not ready for compul-
 sorry vaccination and that to enforce the regulation will tend to keep many lchildren from school at the opening
 sessions.
 ! Health Officer Lemmer of Danbury
 said that the selectlnen of that town
 were opposed to the. proposition, but mat the people seemed to be in favor
 or its enforcement. Dr L F. Jones ior Greenwich said that it could not be
 enforced too quickly. Dr John H.
 Woodruff, health officer of the town of
 sherman, said that the selectmen of
 the town were opposed to 1t and that It would be difficult to carry out the
 regulation. He himself was not op-
 posed to it. Health Officer Donald lson of Westport said that the town
 onciais, the doctors, and the people
 or his town were heartily in favor of the regulation. Others who were in
 favor of it and spoke were Dr Pendle-
 ton of Wallingford. Dr Heady of Mil
 ford, Health Officer Wakelee of Soutb- bury, Health Officer Stephen A. TaI.
 madge of Prospect, Dr w. c. Gaylord of Branford, and Dr G. NJ. Burroughs or Madison; also the following county
 health officers: Messrs Edwin w Higgins, New London county: E. M.
 Aeomans, Holland county; F. w
 Ethridge, Litchfield county; George E
 HIl, Fairfield county; and Carleton
 E. Hoadley, New Haven county.
 Another meeting will be held in a few weeks at date not definite,v
 fixed. Several of the towns were not represented and 1t was deemed wise to postpone final action.

WORK OF REPORTERS.
The Man Who Wants to Give Roast
 His Worst Enemy.

Probably there is nothing a reporter has to do with ill tue discharge of his duties Us q newspaper man that taxes his powers of discrimination so fully as dealing with people who want to give some one roast in the papers and at the same time conceal their own
 identity, that is, provided the reporter feels he owes something to himself and his neighbor as we'll as to his eEl- ployer, and wants to do what he be- lieves right to all parties concerned. Every reporter should act up to tho principle that he has q reputation of his own to sustain as we'll as the paper he works on and, refuse to turn in what he knows to be false, if not malicious. even though it is just the kind of literature the editor wants. There is not an hour in the day but the reporter runs across people who want to be interviewed and who have some. thing to say which many might like to see in the newspapers, but as rule these parties are given deaf ear, and the most they can do is vomit their filth about the street corners and other places where people expect to find such stuff. They rarely get into the papers, and it Is good job for mankind that they don't, for if they had free access to the press no mans reputation would be safe. Of course we are told that ones character cannot be materially
 impaired save by his own willing co. operation. but it is equally true that an interruptions reporter or editor can go a long ways towards blasting mans reputation and yet not put himself within reach of the law. This is one of the evils of what is generally termed the unbridled license of the press, which permits paper to tear down < what it took years to build mp without leaving itself liable. No man, public or private. should be allowed the use of the columns of a paper to ailege any thing involving character. unless his name accompanies the charge.
