Judge Estee's Fourth of July cele-
bration, while not as noisy as many
held in Honolulu, will ever remain as
one of the best. 1t furnished an ex-
ample and inspiration for future years
and presented the opportunity to reg
lister sound patriotic doctrines which
ought to have far-reaching influence
for a stronger and higher Americanism
in this Territory.

MERITS OF STANDARD MACHINE.


The Standard voting machine was first
used at city election in Rochester in 1898.
Since that time 1t has been adopted in
many States. In no case where this ma
chine has been tried has there been re-
turn TO the paper ballot.
DR.. r. II. Thurston, one of the three vot-
ing machine commissioners of New York
and head Of the mechanical department of
Cornell University. in his report on this
machine in November, 1899. says:
1.-The voting machine is a simple. reliable
Purpose.
The machine compels the deposit of a
perfect and accurate ballot of the form
chosen by the voter.
1T restricts the voter absolutely to the
limit OF the law and permits him freedom
in voting within that limit.
Defective ballots, the usual fault Of
ordinary methods of voting, are done away
with. and no man loses his vote through
defect OF the system or fault of his own,
IL he votes at all. The disfranchised voter
becomes unknown.
Fraudulent voting is impossible as well
as errors in voting.
THE vote cast Is registered vote by vote
with absolute accuracy and certainty.
'"The result can be declared Immediately
upon close OF the polls. having been al
ready counted.
1.-The cost of the system is so much less
than that of the old method that the ma
chimes usually pay for themselves in three
TO seven years.

They VIII BE Used I'm Coming City
Election and Board Plans to Save
County $1,000 Every Election.
LETTER OF COLUMBIA COMPANY
FAULT FOUND WITH THE sPECIFI-
CATIONS AS PREPARED.
indianapolis Concern Not willing to
submit a Bid Under the Con-
ditiOns Named.

Voting machines will be given a trial in
the coming city election. The Board or
County Commissioners awarded a contract
for ten yesterday Afternoon to s. c. Ham
ilton. representing the United States Stand
ard Voting Machine Company. Of Roches-
ter. N. Y. The price to be paid. according
10 the agreement between the commission
ers and Mr.. Hamilton, is $500.
According to the terms of the contract
the machines are not to be paid for until
they have been shown to be satisfactory
by actual use in the election. They will
be delivered by Mr.. Hamilton Sept. b. one
month before the city election, and will
be placed on exhibition for the purpose
OF educating voters in their USE The rep
resentative of the company made no OBJ
lection 10 the requirement, simply saying
that his machines had proved so uniformly
satisfactory elsewhere that there was no
doubt as TO the ultimate decision of the
commissioners.
The commissioners believe that by the
OF voting machines the county will be
saved about $1,000 every election. 1t is the
purpose to reduce the number of precincts
and to extend their boundaries. By the
use of. machines twice many voters can
be accommodated in the same time as by
the old ballot system. The plan is TO change
the number Of voting precincts In Marion
county from $50 to lbs and to provide voting
machines ultimately for each of the pre-
cincts under the new boundaries: Money
and time will be saved. the commissioners
declare, and the honesty and accuracy or
elections will be insured.
Only one bid was made for the contract
yesterday, John Il. Cockrum, DR.. Frank
lin w. Hays and others interested in the
Columbia Voting Machine Company. of
this city, were present when the bids were
bid They said they were unwilling to make
contract providing that nothing should
be paid for the machines IL they proved un-
satisfactory in the coming election, and
that they were not prepared at this time
10 furnish a sixty-key machine. The Co
lumbia Company offered TO lend ten of
their thirty-key machines for use in the
that larger machines would be preferable
and refused the offer with thanks.
An average OF two men a minute can use
the new voting machines In eleven hours
from 600 to 200 voters can be accommodated
IN precinct. In a Buffalo district recent
~ 100 voters used United States machine
in that length OF time. During the recent
ulated returns were on the streets in news
papers one hour after the polls closed, the
United States Company's machines were
used.
Milwaukee, which is now Gusing voting
machines. has reduced its precincts to 115
and saves about 5000 a year Buffalo has
reduced its districts TO 10 and saves from
machines has permitted a Encouragement
OF precincts to allow from 600 to 200 voters
In eacn. The same general plan will be put
I'm operation in this county.
