ACTS or VANDALISM.

The usual Halloween pranks were
INDUCED IN, by the youthful hoodlums
who seem 20 be unable to have any
run" except when they can do some
damage. Vandalism IS what gives 10y
to their hearts, and whenever they can
find an excuse, they abandon them
selves to the promptings of their in.
stincts Consequently persons who
never harmed them are often selected
as victims Their property is damaged,
and they are annoyed In various ways.
Infringing gates, tearing up fumes
and bridges greaslng street car tracks,
and Kicking I'm doors Of residences
were among the innocent" pastimes
INDUCED IN,
one OF the meanest and most con-
temptible acts Of vandalism was COM
mltted on the new Episcopal church
building, corner Of Eleventh East and
Tenth South, where. Il Is claimed, the
expensive windows were broken, and
an organ considerably damaged. The
members OF that congregation are
struggling hard to erect a place Of
worship, and their indignation can be
imagined when finding the property
destroyed In such a manner It seems
TO us that something should be done
TO find the 6ulprIts In this instance,
They ought TO be made to make good
the damage they have done. II would
be well to make an example of some
OF the yandals, as warning to all
that people have a right to enjoy the
possession of their own property
In this community particularly,
church property should be protected,
For tho majority OF the people here
believe In the right Of all TO worship
according to the dictates OF their own
conscienees Any act that Is contrary
to this principle deserves denunciation
aud punishment

TO ELECTION JUDGES.

Judges OF election ere sworn to per-
form the duties Of their Office accord
ing to law. They are thus under legal
obligations to protect the ballotbox
from fraud, and also placed on their
honor. as trusted servants OF the pub
lie, to promote the purity of elections.
II Is to be presumed that they will pre-
serve their honor and observe the law.
The judges must be governed by the
registration list of the district In which
they act. II any person presents him
self whose name is not on that list, he
must not receive or be permitted to cast
a ballot. II challenged he must be re-
quired TO answer the following objec-
tons:
81. That he Is not the person whose
name appears on the registration list.
and under which name he claims the
right TO vote.
"2. That he has not resided within
the state one year next preceding the
election.
20. That he has not been a citizen OF
the United States for period of ninety
days next preceding the election.
~. That he has not resided IN the
county four months next preceding the
election.
IS. That he has not resided within
the precinct for sixty days next pre-
ceding the election.
20. That he does not live In the cleo
ton district,
~. That he has voted before on that
day
IS. That he is not of the age of Fl
years or upwards"
He must be put under oath that the
challenge is untrue before being PER-
mitted to vote. The same rule Is re-
qulred IL the challenged person is a fe-
male
That there have been some fraudulent
registrations has been established be-
yond reasonable doubt. Let all persons
who can be proved to have participated
therein be prosecuted TO the full ex-
tent OF the law. Election judges should

the consciousness Of the closer rela-
lions OF believers with the source or
authority from which all truth pro-
ceeds. When II was believed without
question that God appeared IN visible
form TO Abraham and Moses and David,
and spoke 10 them. the words ascribed
70 them were accepted as authoritative
because Abraham and Moses and David
had heard God speaking to them"
That is to say, according to this view,
the Biblical persons mentioned, and
others, may be myths or they may
be telling falsehoods as to their al
legged revelations, but the truths"
they spoke remain the same, and II
may be that these truths are still more
precious, because nobody knows who
first uttered them.
This reasoning does not stand the
test OF serious consideration. These
men came 10 the world and claimed
they had a message from the Eternal
Father to His children Either they
had such "A message, or they did not
have II. In the latter case they we're
deceivers. and their alleged special
message must be rejected. II they
were really sent by God 10 reject
them means damnation. There is no
escape from this dilemma The mid
die position suggested that their mes
sage is true, while mo one knows where
il came from, is an absurdlty, grotesque
In the extreme
When the Word of God In concerned.
the question of authority is involved In
the question OF genuneness. II the
message comes to us through inspired
men, prophets and apostles Of God,
1t must be believed, If not II may be
rejected, unless II Is self-eyident. or
can be proved by ordinary methods OF
reasoning. But many important theo-
logical truths must be accepted on tes-
tlmony. They stand or fall with
the reliability Of the witnesses. They
relate TO life beyond this, and how
to reach happiness in that beyond. II
the witnesses who testify to the con-
dltlons there prevailing. and the only
way to happiness, are proved to be
myths, what becomes of their testl-
mony?
The Word of God, we must either
accept or reject. TO accept It partially
is to reject It entirely,

year, the county four months and the
precinct Tor city ward which corro-
spends to precinct for sixty days pre-
vlous to the election.
But it Ii stated that the laW as to
precincts IN the city was made inffeo~
tive by the Legislature OF 1901 The
assertion Is false in two particulars.
Nothing that relates to this matter
was enacted IN 9Ol There was a law
passed at the last session OF the LegiF-
laure IN reference to the election OF
justice OF the peace and constable
for each precinct and which provided
thai
cities Of the nrst class shall
for the purpose OF electing pre-
clnct officers, but such cities shall
be deemed one precinct for the
purpose Of electlng one justice OF the
peace and one constable therefor.
The now existing precincts, eni-
braced within cities having municipal
courts are hereby abolished for tho
purposes Of this act
Now there need be no mistake about
this simple matter City courts were
established In cities of the first class,
thus doing away with the precinct jus,
tees and constables therein, under the
Old law. The uniting OF all the pre-
cincts IN such cities into one precinct
was specified as, solely, FOR THE
PURPOSES OF THIS ACT II is go
stated in the title as well as In the body
Of the statute.
The attempt, then, to confuse regis
trars and citizens desiring to vote, by
asserting that this city Is now only one
precinct as II relates 20 the present
election, Is an exhibition Of gross ignor-
anoe or wilful deception. Whatever may
be the purpose Of II, no one with or
binary sense should be hoodwinked by
IT, and registry agents particularly
should be careful not TO fall into the
snare spread for their feet The law
must be complied with, and only such
persons be permitted TO vote as have
the qualifications specified in the oath
the form Of which we have copied
above Again we say, let us have a
fair election and lot every honest citl-
zen, aid IN securing It tomorrow
