VOTING BY MAIL.

Voting by post in the election of sen- ators and members of the house of rep resentatives is allowed under certain circumstances by the commonwealth electoral law. It is a convenience which will be more largely used in Queens land, probably, than in the southern more closely settled states. There must
 be many electors in this state who will on the day of election be at least five miles from any polling place. Accord ing to Melbourne telegram protesting to give particulars of the regulations
 these can avoid absenting themselves from their work on polling days for the
 purpose of voting by applying before that day to the returning officer of their
 district for a voting paper. It will ob- viously be great convenience if an elector living outside the stipulated distance from the nearest polling place can apply for his voting paper by a
 posted letter. Some town electors will
 be glad to escape the nuisance of push ing their way through the excited crowd at the polling-booth to vote, and that
 can be done, apparently, by arranging
 to be. five miles away from home on
 polling day. The Melbourne telegram
 dealin.s with this subject announces thr- female elector can vote by post 1 ie she anticipates ill-health on polling day. Doubtless many women will be glad to escape the ordeal of voting in. rrhlic by prophetic fore-knowledge of
 ness. These notifications of the ex- fsting election law are welcome, because they will conduce to a larger vote. It is
 not easy to see how they can be fraud
 ulently utilized for impersonation.
 In the case oS women. it decidedly
 opens a path to giving masterful heads
 of households two votes instead of one. Women who take interest in politics will no doubt vote publicly at the poll E ing booth--if their husbands allow them. Those who do not care to take the trouble and those who yield to mar ital pressure in support Of voting by post are pretty sure to vote as their
 husbands desire them to- Experience alone can show whether voting by post is so abused as to make it desirable to restrict that convenience. It is our an- ticipation that 1t will be more largely. ayailed of than the legislators who de- visedit xpect.-Townville (Queensland) Bulletin.

RESPONSIBILITY OF DIRECTORS.
An Interesting Study of Vital Ques-
 ton.

An Interesting Study of a Vital Cues ton.
 More and more is the question of the responsibility of directors coming to the front. Recent events have made it Iespecnally pressing and important. Specialization is the road to success
 in this world A man must know one thing, and know that thing superlative- l ly we'll in order to get on. A jack of
 all trades has no place in business un-
 der modern conditions, for one who
 knows little of everything, probably
 knows no one thing well. ''If man Is
 to make & success in any one line of
 work" says Charles T. Yerkes, he must devote his whole time and atten- tion to that particular work" The
 best road into Journalism to-day" says
 RolIa Ogden, land the best road to suc-
 cess within it, leads through special
 knowledge of some particular subject" !" | What is true of one department is true
 of all. The rapid advances which this country is making, in every productive
 undertaking, are the result largely of specialization. Men devote their time
 nd attention to one particular work or problem and strive to make a success of that.
 But while this truth generally recog-
 nized and followed by all men ofSaffairs, so far as their own business or profess sion is concerned there is wide depar- ture from it when it comes to accepting what is called 'the trusteeship of
 wealth." Even great leaders in the
 business world, who know how impor- tant it is that one should follow along
 one line of endeavor, apply the jack of all trades" principle when it comes to the direction of other peoples property.
 It is familiar spectacle to see bank ! CT, who understands that business thor oughly, becoming director of railroads. a business he does not understand. The frailroad man becomes a director in
 manufacturing companies, thus serving
 as trustee of wealth in a business en- tirely outside of his knowledge and training. Some men spread themselves
 over so much ground that they serve as
 directors or trustees in dozen differ ent departments of business, though they are themselves master only of one. Lnasmuch as the wealth Of the coun-

Cough Remedy. It is certain TO be
needed before the winter is oyer. and
results are much more prompt and
satisfactory when it Is kept at hand and
given as soon as the cold is contracted
and before it has become settled in the
system In almost every instance a
severe cold may be warded off by taking
this remedy freely as soon as the first
indication of the cold appears. There
is no danger in giving it to children for
it contains no harmful substance. 1t IS
pleasant to take-both adults and chill

Won't Pay Bounty.

State Auditor Theodore Turner
Saturday gave out the following
statement in response to numerous
queries:
s'The matter of the payment ~n< a
bounty upon beet sugar - conform
lty to the provisions of the act pas
sed by the Legislature at it's Seventh
session rs one of great Importance
TO the people of the state of Idaho.
Such payment would establish pre-
cedent for the payment of other
bounties and subsidies in the future
and would impose upon the people
a burden much too great to be as
sumed hastily or before the validity
of the act is properly determined.
''Without gong into the question
of the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a
precedent for the payment of boun-
ties, / will say that | have sought
and secured the advice Of competent
attorneys both upon tue general
question of the constitutionallty of
the act and that of the failure of

| appropriation of moneys for the
payment of the bounty offered. Up
on each of these questions I have re-
ceived such advice as iustlfiee me IN

until the proper tribunal shall have

81 have not communicated with
any of the persons who are likely
to be claimants for the payment of
bounty and do not know what course
such persons will pursue upou my
refusal to Issue warrants in payment
of their claims after approval by the

RAGING WATERS.

Passaic, N. j., Oct 12.-The village
of Duttonville, near here, is one of the
worst sufferers by the prevailing flood
but so far as known there was 90 loss
of life. More than 100 housee were
swept away and many of thelu were
wrecked by the breaking of fifteen
foot embankment of the Erie railroad
behind which an immense volume OF
water had gathered. The flood poured
down into Duttonville, carrying every.
thing before it. So far as can be
learned from reliable sources there
was no loss of life and this is consid.
cred almost miraculous. The village
of Wellington, a suburb Of this city
was submerged by from six to twelve
feet Of water and the inhabitants
went about in boats. At least 100
houses have been moved from their
foundations and in some cases they
have been turned completely over.

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several Important Points That Must
Re Remembered

CcNcraI Important POINTS ibdt MuSt
Be Remembered.
To teach child with success re-
quires only common sense, good judg-
ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
Of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
Of comprehension, with 1istlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
infiexible rule that requires teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present it
in an interesting and Ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dan
ger Of overriding, against which the
teacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fire.
quently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped so long as to-
morrow represents another day.-The

JOKE ON SWEET CHARITY.

And the colored Porter, He Thorough

The other day colored porter from
one of the hotels was sent to buy some
tin cups. After making the purchase
he started back to the hotel and met
one of the hostlery's best patrons a
commercial traveler-and the latter
asked the negro to carry his sample
case to Washington street store.
A few minutes later the negro, sam
pie case, and tin cups, were in front
Of the store. The travelling man was
in the store. While waiting for him,
the negro sat down on the sample
case, and in less than a jiffy fell asleep.

What One Man Said.

At the City Federation m Getting in

incidents. Husbands of the broad
minded women tarried in the ante
room waiting for their spouses to go
home. One of these patient escorts
was Leroy Sunderland Smith. He
gazed through the glass doors once,
sighed and returned to his chair Men
would come, inquire for their wives,
and then retreat to the cafe below. One
man heard few minutes of a certain
paper. He said: If these women
clubs did not struggle with the prob
lem Of how to raise other women's
children they would have no excuse
for being" He flung out the last
words savagely and then disappeared
to the place where highballs are con-
cocted.-New York Press.
