The question arises In the mind OF the
ordinary citizen. In the peaceful pursuit
OF his business and in reliance upon the
supremacy OF the law, What is tho mat
ter with our election system, that It seems
to go wrong so often? The law on the
face seems to be all right and to insure
lust returns II administered with even
moderate fairness. and yet We arc con-
stantly confronted with fraud and cor
ruption that shocks and destroys conf-
dence in the very fundamental principle
of popular institutions"
TO this good citizen we would reply
that the law Is all right and popular nsu-
tutions are all right, though his conil-
dcnce has been rudely shocked and MS
proper scnsbilities have been distressed
Tho fountain head Of our electoral sys-
tenn is the court that appoints the cleo
toral board, that In turn appoints the
Judges OF election.

most part are the self appointed bosses

canacity to sell out the rights OF CITIZENS

toral board and why there should be any
occasion for appointing any but men OF

II has been said that citizens OF good
renown and reliable character Will not
xerye as Judges Of election, but we 90
not for one moment accept this expla-
nation as correct. 1t just is not true.
Some men may decline, but then there

Speak Kindly

On July 2lst we published In these
columns a little article on good cheer,
which was introduced as follows:
eve believe that many man ana
many n woman In lifes struggle have
gone down In despair for the lack OF
timely word of good cheer; nay, we pe-
l,eve that some men ana some "o'lion
have in their desperation destfoScu
themselves because there was none ~

In The Timcs-D Dispatch OF yesterday
there was an account Of an attempt AZ
suicide. by young man who left letter
containing this sentence:
"One word Of consolation or one kind
word would have saved my llfe'

Near n whole cityful.
Friends she had none"
How many man and woman has
pprshed for tho lack OF ono word OF
friendly sympathy and good checr How
many a boy has gone from bad to worse
because a cruel or stern father has given

brnnce OF every little speech OF love and
good cheer which proceeded out OF oul
