HE BALLOT
IN VOTING

tn everybody's interest in the po-
liticaI questions of the day and
the candidates for the presidency
of til two great parties aroused and
election day only few days off, it may
be of interest to know that the institu-
ton of voting and balloting for candi-
dates for public offices and for other
purposes concerning the welfare of the
people is by no means a custom of mod
ern times, but dates back as far as the
classical ages. In ancient Greece the
people had a way of ostracising, or
Smelling" a troublesome man out of
the city. When two rival politicians
had become so violently opposed to
each other that their feud threatened
the public peace or rendered the pas
sage of good measures too difficult. the
voters were called upon TO decide which
Of the two should leave the city. Every
citizen who chose to vote put into a
large metallic urn small shell upon
which he had written the name of the
man whose Punishment he preferred.
IL six thousand votes in all were cast,
but not otherwise, the shells We're ex-
amined. and the man who had received
most votes was condemned to ten years
Of honorable exile. The historian Grote
was of the opinion that this method
often resulted advantag eously and
saved Athens from civil wars.
In some of the ancient Mediterranean
states there was a pretty variation
upon the vote by shells. The voter
wrote the name OF his candidate upon
an olive leaf. This was called petalism.
or leaf voting. just as the shell method
was called ostracism, from Greek
word signifying little shell. The great
jury, hundreds in number, which con-
demned Socrates TO drink the hemlock
voted In another way. Those who de-
sired his death cast into a brass box
little bali OF metal or stone. which
was either black in color or pierced
through the middle Those who voted
for his acquittal threw into the same
box a white bail or one not pierced.
There was small majority of black
balls. and thus he was doomed to die
At the present time in club elections
the same simple method is often used
and defeated candidate is styled as
| having been +blacktalled.' This way
o. voting was probably one OF the ear
/ lest attempts to secure secrecy.
( The Romans had some interesting
modes Of voting. When a law was sub
mitted to the people TO ratify or reject
each citizen received two small, square
smooth pieces Of wood called tabellae
or tablets. On one of these was written
the letter A, which stood for Antique"
~ reject" On the other were two
letters. U. r., which stood for "Uti 70.

tells always of retribution for those
who break the laws of God and man.
True enough. and the newspapers, too,
tell of the punishment that comes to
offenders Whenever men are executed,
whenever they are sent to prison, news
papers record the sentences and tell
the occasion therefor. 1t is just as
easy to find in the average newspaper
that the way of the transgressor is
hard as to find it in a sermon.
The publication of crime stories
serves another purpose. We believe it
prevents the commission of other
crimes Men with criminal instincts
fear the newspapers far more than
they fear the officers of the law. AS
many rascals have been run down by
newspaper reporters as by policemen
and detectives. Criminals fear nothing
as much as publicity, When news
papers publish stories of crimes and
descriptions Of men who have com
mitted them everybody is on the alert
to catch that man.
If there were no newspapers there
would be more criminals, and there
would be more If the newspaper re-
fused to print the stories Mr.. Goshen

clusion thenceforward. Pope Gregory
XIV decreed that the cardinals in con-
clave should vote by secret ballot. Pa
pers of uniform size, texture and color
are distributed to the cardinals They
are folded in such a manner that the
part on which each elector writes his
name cannot be opened, while that on
which he writes the name of his can
didate can. The ticket ia then folded,
closed with sealing wax and stamped
with the common seal of the conclave.
The elector then, kneeling, takes the
solemn oath prescribed, and deposits
his vote in a chalice placed on the al
tar. The votes of such as are detained
by sickness IN their cells are taken
with every precaution and formality.
The paper ballot in this country was
first used in 1912 10 get out of office
Governor John Winthrop, who had be-
come unpopular. The party opposed to
Winthrop were confident Of major
ity if the people could vote without
fear. To this end the freemen of the
colony were required to vote with pa
per ballots. The election was held at
Boston in a church. The voters were
required to come in at one door, with
their votes ready written, lay them
down on table before the court, and
then pass out Of the building by an
other door. Absentees could send their
votes by proxy, and blank votes were
counted as negatives. The old fash
toned English way Of voting by word
Of mouth was lively and picturesque
enough. Not unfrequently the candi-
dates themselves attended at the pools,
and rewarded men who voted for them
with a Thank you, sir" and a low
bow. but when, as often happened, the
candidate was the employer or land
lord of the voter, an election was lit
tie more than a formal Endorsement of
the landlords preference. a look into
the novels of the last century will show
to a conclusion that the viva voce
method of voting was the very worst
ever practiced in the world. 1t rem

The Democratic judicial convention
made a proposition to the Republican
judicial convention for a non-Dartisan
judicial ticket in this district. The Re-
pu5lieans refused to accede to the
proposition. Now suppose you get out

you vote for all of them.

DR.. PARKHURsT's VIEWS.

mr.. PARKHCRST, New Xorh's well
IL known minister, probably had in
mind the promotion Of his fame, noto-
riety. what you viii, when he gave ut
terance recently to some sentiments re-
garding the Iroquois theatre disaster
Among other things, DR.. Parkhurst
said:
'"The fire that burned those 500 per-
sons was Gods fire. God is love, but
that is not all there is OF him. He is a
loving Father, but he is not a doting
old grandfather. He is enough Of a
God to have some respect for himself
We hear SO much about Gods love, so
much, mean. that is said in a one
sided way, that we come to imagine,
after awhile. that God is nothing but a
mush Of concession; that his fOndness
for people has melted out Of his char
acter all respect for himself. With
such a light thrown upon a certain side
Of Gods character as is shown by dis
asters ike the one we have been con-
templating. I am sure We are all Of US
taking things too easily, The people
ing things too easily-the result shows
that-and we ourselves are taking
things too easily"
Dr. Parkhurst is one Of the first
preachers OF note to associate God with
fire. Most mortals think OF the devil
as the evil genius Of fire, The relatives
and friends Of the innocent women and
fire win not easily be convinced that
Cod had a great deal to do with it. If
they thought that God would be DELHI
arately fendish and cruel enough to
condemn innocents to q horrible death,
they could not long retain reverence
and respect and love for him. We can
rot believe the IRE was the work Of
auything but the devil, If there is a
devil
1t was the devil who put it into the
hearts Of men connected with the Iro-
quois to be careless; the devil tempted
them TO leave the exits closed and
locked; the devil whispered to them
that the asbestos curtain was all right
that there was no danger Of setting
fire to the fbnsy scenery. God gives
men the power to distinguish between
right and wrong. he rewards them on
this earth and in the world to come
when they DO right. Men would be nC
whit better than beasts II all of their
eomings and goings We're regulated by
a power they could not control
Or. Parkhurst assumes q great dea'
when he lays down a biography Of God
and insists that We must all believe il
