BoSToN'S BLANK BALLOTS.

The ballot law of Massachusetts
has been recommended for adoption
in other states because it compels
the voter to express a preference for
tSch candidate and thus in theory
fsvors split ticket" voting. 1t has
another curious quality-the num-
Der of blank ballots it produces.
Parker for president had 10y609
plurality in Boston, but about 5000
ballots cast were not marked for
this Office at all. Douglas plurality
was 33yO76 in the largest vote cast,
, but even for governor there were
4,615 blanks. For lieutenant gov
ernor there were 9,757 blanks, for
secretary of state 1916, and so on
in generally increasing ratio until
23,256 blanks out of total vote of
only 96,634 testified that "a per cent
of the voters didn't care a pencil
mark who was to be sheriff.
Evidently the Boston problem is
not to get the voters to the polls,
but 10 make them take the trouble
to vote right through the ''bill Of
fare" when they are there.-New
York World.

Thrives on Poison.

There is young American
achieving fame in England in an
unusual way. lie is showing the
British medical men how much poi
son he can eat and drink without
III effect. His menu on a recent
occasion was paris green, strychnine,
blue indigo, phosphorus and afro
pine. 1t was all very simple. Each
plate contained its deadly burden
Of brilliant green and blue and white
powders. One after the other the
American partook Of each, missing
none, but deploring that he had
been unable TO secure certain other
things owing TO the stringency Of
the law controlling the sale of poi
sons. Medical experts msrveled at
the demonstration. Every dish was
severely tested, and the admission
was freely made that enough poison
had been swallowed to kill q reG-
msug Of ordinary mortals.

DISCREPANCIES ALREADY

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The sudden rupture
Of the amicable arrangement between
the Sportsman and Sporting Life news
papers. by which starting prices We're
ruled, has caused considerable confusion
among bookHfakers.
London firms of turf commission
agents display a pardonabIe reticence in
discussing the details of their business,
but several admitted this week that
many discrepancies had already oc-
cured in their accounts owing 10 differ
ent starting prices quoted by the two
newspapers.
Should Name Paper.
The only way to meet the situation. =
said welI-known London bookmaker
this week, ''is for clients, in their wires.
to say whose prices tfes- wish to be
ruled by. Most ookmalxers would be
quite content to be ruled by either, pro-
yided the prices were previo usIy settled
Some have announced that they will set
tie on the prices of a particular paper,
but this is sure to cause dissatisfaction
in some cases"
This opinion was coneurred in by
Charles Ashley, the managing director
Of the previous amicable arrangement
Artificial Arrangement.
THE arrangement at best was an ar
tificial one" said Mr.. Ashley we do
not consider the leveling up process be-
! tween the two representatives to be in
the best interests of the betting public.
| We have perfect confidence In the skill
and discretion of our expert, and desire
| him in future to act entirely on his own
| initiative l do not think there is the
! slightest possibility of the Jockey Club
| interfering. One of their rules pro-
| vides that betting shall not he recog-
nized. With regard to the proposal that
| each race course should have d perma-
nent official to fix starting prices, I con-
slider such a plan is not likely to appeal
