ately above or below the names of the
party candidates for the presidential offices.
When so placed there can be no mistake
about the right place for marking the ball
lot to give the vote its full effect In the
national contest. To range the full
ticket marking space in direct line with
the places for marking Individual electoral
names is to invite error. There is, indeed,
no longer any reason, as the American sys-
tenn of choosing President has evolved,
to invite the voters to mark the names OF
individual electors. No voter In his right
mind would ever think deliberately to name
only part of the list. All know that vote
for the full presidential ticket is the only
means of proclaiming the Individual prefer
ence between presidential candidates.
1t is important to note that had this cleo
ton been close, turning in the final result
upon the vote OF the state of Maryland. the
blunders of a few voters in that state
might have given the decision to one side or
the other 1t would have been highly hui
initiating to the authors of the Ubiquitous
ballot law In Maryland If Judge Parker
had missed reaching the White House as a
result of combined trickery and laundering
for which they were responsible.

Colonel Smythe Has Returned.

Tidings at last of Colonel Smythe, who
went as special commissioner to Panama to
obtain the proof positive that the President
and Mr.. Hay were deeply compromised by
the canal episode. He went, he saw, but he
failed to conquer. The story, which appears
in another column of The Star, is taken
from the New York Tribune. 1t Is very In
teresting but all too brief. Colonel Smythe
should take the public into his full conf
dence. He owes 1t to himself, as well as to
the future historian. to withhold nothing
which throws light on a mission so unique,
and. in fancy. so fraught with matter of
moment to the world. Suppose Colonel
Smythe had succeeded. Suppose he had OBJ
tained document which was not, and had
never been, in existence. How like thirty
cents ali professional prestidigitators would
now appear by comparison. What profit

That Freak Ballot in Maryland.

The miX-up of the returns in Maryland
Involves the possibility that the electoral
vote of that state may be divided between
the two parties, and directs the attention
of the whole country to the absurdity of
the existing ballot law in that state. This
ballot is a result of the law that was passed
by a democratic legislature for the express
and virtually avowed purpose of dsfran-
chisng the negro voter by a trick In ''off
years of state contests the names of can
didates are so arranged by the dominant
party that the average opposition voter can
select those of his own party only with
great difficulty. The official ballot this
year was so printed that a mistake was
easily possible. A cross-mark placed at
the top of the column of names of electors
for President voted the whole ticket of
eight names. But the space for such
cross-mark was by inadvertance or
design ranged Immediately above those for
marking any individual name. Many hun
dreds of voters in good faith believed that
the proper place for marking the whole
electoral ticket was the square space oppo-
site the name of the first elector, and ac-
cordingly large numbers of votes were cast
for but a single elector. instead of all eight.
The returns show that this belief prevailed
among democrats as well as republicans. as
both Mr.. Brown. the leading democratic
elector. and Mr.. Bonaparte. the leading re-
publican. received much heavier votes than
any of their colleagues on their respective
tickets.
The usual and sensible way of arranging
the ballot Is to provide a space for q
cross-mark at the top Of the ticket immedi-

The Veteran Vote in Missouri
The Star is in receipt of a commune
ton from St Louis in these terpa.

Inc star is In receipt of a communion
tion from st. Louis in these terms:
There are nearly $4,000 Union veterans
IN Missouri. 1t is estimated that 5000 of

Crdts IN many ways for the last thirty

The latest returns from Missouri indi-
cate a plurality of 2s.2I1 for Roosevelt in
the state. The transfer of 5000 soldier
votes from the democratic to the republi-
can column would have made a net differ
ence of 10000 votes, not enough to account
for the actual plurality but enough to ac-
count in very large measure for the total
overturning of the state, which went dem
ocratic by 1880 in 1900. Thus there is
difference of g. 10l votes between the
Roosevelt and Bryan pluralities, indicating
the shift from one side to the other of
33,O5O. The shift of 1876 would just have
suffced to swing the state from the Bryan
figures to Roosevelt by bare plurality,
and If it is true, as The Stars informant
states, that 5000 ex-soldiers turned about
face this year, on the score of Parker's
declaration about Order IS, then that step
cost the democratic candidate something
like ~ per cent of his margin in Missouri.
This is an interesting exhibit in a cam
paign which is remarkable for the great
number of possible causes of an extraordi-
nary result.

Politics and the Bench.

After the failure of Mr.. Bryan in 1900 che
leaders Of the democratic party, looking to
this year. took stock and began talking
about a new man. 1t was agreed that he
should be taken either from the bench or
the business world. The politicians were
all disqualified by reason Of factional
records. This man had been Cleveland
lite; that man had been a Bryanite; the
other man had taken to the woods. Men
on the bench and the captains Of industry
had escaped the turmoil and its conse-
quences. and hence the suggestion of find
ing the new leader among them.
David B. Hill, with others, "cottoned'
to this idea, saw In his friend and protege,
Judge Parker. the man for the emergency,
and brought him forward. The entry in
stantly commanded attention. In the prime
of life, of acceptable service chief JUS
tice of the highest court in the state, with
a regular record as party man, Judge
Parker seemed to promise all that the de-
mocracy stood then in need of, and, after
a spirited canvass, he was nominated. AS
a leader, however, he proved a sad disap
pointment. He lacked both force and tnit-
alive, turned helplessly first to one and
then to the other of the two factions of his
party, was misadvised by both, and finally
came 10 personal CONFUSION ana pOlltlCaI

the closing days of the campaign was pitt

a similar situation as respects the gov

records. So they went to the bench for

and, with him, landed in the ditch. He,
too proved disappointment, made shifty
and awkward canvass, mistook the temper
of the people, INDUCED in personal abuse
when public issues should have occupied
him. and In every way exposed his party to
criticism for selecting him. His failure was
as pronounced as Judge Parker's.
Let the politicians in future steer clear of
the bench, and let the bench steer clear of
politics, when party tickets are being pre-
pared. In fact there should be printed in

Leadership in the South.

Speaking yesterday to a representative OF
The Star. Representative Hay of Virginia
said:
81 think the time has come for the south
to assert itself and refuse to any longer
follow the dictates of the northern democ-
racy.
'One result of this election will be that
the south will no longer refrain from ask
ing representation upon the national ticket-
If two southern men had been nominated at
ST Louis the result could not have been
worse. In fact, I believe that Missouri
and Maryland would have been found In
the democratic column, instead of boosting
the republican majority. / am In favor OF
a southern man for President in 1908. and
l believe that every southern state will de-
mand this recognition when the time
comes to nominate a standard bearer four
years from now. The question or avail
ability should rule no longer"
Set up for leadership when you have not
shown the sagacity to wisely follow? And
where would the south lead? What policies
would she offer? The south thought there
a President and House of Representa-
tives in the Booker Washington luncheon!
She put that forward as the browning rea-
why Mr. Roosevelt should be defeated.
The civility he had offered to the WORTH
est and most eminent member of the negro
race in the world had stamped him In her
eyes as unfit for his high office. And at the
same time the northern allies were maxi
Ing earnest play for the negro vote in every
state where it is received and counted. Yell
ing until she was black in the face against
negro domination within her own Dor
ders. she was willing to accept. and secret
~ hoping for. control of New York New
Jersey, Illinois and Indiana through the
manipulation of the negro vote in those
states.
The south lead? With whom? Henry
Watterson, who is we'll entitled to speak
for her. has said over and over again in
the last Few years that the south has no
political leaders. Her strongest men-and
she has her share of strong men-are en-
gagged in business. They have been de-

Any nomination at ST. Louis on any sort

south's support.
NO we may all be sure. the south is not
going to lead in 1908, for the very good
reason that she has no policies that are of
the slightest interest to anybody but her
seit. AND they are hurtful to her If she
cares to shut herself up and SILVER over
