KANGAROO BALLOT"
FOOLS SOME VOTERS

The recent city election illustrates
the fact that the kangaroo" ballot
is not thoroughly understood by all
people possessed of the elective fran
chise. Nearly a score of votes were
put into the ballot boxes in the differ
ent wards of the city that were nulli-
fled by the voters themselves in spite
of explicit instructions at the head Of
the ticket. Some of them had the
word prohibition" written in the
blank space to designate the ticket.
Cañon City record., 1905-04-13

while others had written therein teh
wordspublican, Citizens, "R, e
"Wet," Democratic" etc. As there
were no tickets bearing those designa-
tions in the field these "erratic" bal
lots were necessarily thrown out by the
judges, as not being sufficiently clear
With keen sense of humor, Bill
Laugherty, of South Canon, wrote his
own name in the space set aside for the
official designation of the ticket, but as
no "Bill Laugherty" ticket was recog-
nized by the law, his vote was thrown
out as being somewhat too nebulous for
the understanding Of the judges of the
election.

served that since the death of the
prince consort she had been in the
habit of consulting the Duke of SAKE
Coburg on all family affairs.
The matter was therefore referred to
Duke Ernest, who replied that since
the uniffcation Of Germany he had
made 1t rule to ask the emperor's
opinion on all important questions.
The case now came before the kaiser,
who decided that, as constitutional
sovereign, he was bound to ascertain
the views of his prime minister.
Happily for the now anxious pair of
lovers the Iron Chancellor" who was
then in office, had no wish to consult
anybody and decided that the marriage

Washington, d. c., Sept 1.-The
international board of advisers of the
Isthmian Canal Commission opened it's
session at hte Mills Building annex OF
the war and navy department today.
The board was called together for the
purpose of considering and discussing
the numerous plans and suggestions
for the construction of the Panama
canal submitted from various sources
to the Isthmian canal commission.
The board of advisers was called to
order by General George W. Davis, U.
S. A., retired, who is heading the
board. He was formerly governor of
the canal zone and is a man of wide
experience. His associates on the
board are Alfred Noble, a civil engi-
neer of Lowonla, Mich, formerly a
member of the Nicaragua canal
board; William Barclay Parsons of
New York; Prof. William H. Burt. of
Columbia university; General Henry
l.. Abbott, U. S. A., retired; F. p.
Stearns. Joseph Ripley, Herman
Schussler, Isham Randolph; Henry
Hunter, a British enginver; Eugene
Tincauser, a German engineer; NJ. NJ.
Guerard and Quellenes, two French
engineers; Prof, Jacob Kraus of the
Technical School of Delft, and others.
The number of plans and sugges-
tons which will be considered by the
board is very large and the board will
remain in session until all of them
have been considered. Then the board
will draw up report or perhaps a
minority report and a majority re-
port, embodying the result of its de-
liberations. Besides the plans of the
first commission, of 1901, will be the
plans OF the old De Lesseps company,
the project of Bunau-Varilla, the
plans of Lindon w. Bates of New
York. and various other plans for a
canal between Cristobal and La Boca.
Some of those projects are for a sea
level canal, while others contemplate
a canal above the sea level and con-
nected with the sea by means of locks
and dams.
If the members OF the board find 1t
impossible to form an opinion with
out personal inspection of the con-
ditions involved in the various plans,
they may visit the canal zone before
making their final report.

the serious problem with which tn,

keep the idle ones, who are ouly al
expense upon the state. in constan
employment. for their own good al
well as that OF the state, says the
Salem Statesman.
He has studied up all kinds OF
schemes by which he could secure
employment for them outside of the
prison, there being nothing for them
TO do inside, and the latest which he
has struck upon and which he con-
siders quite feasible and no doubt
profitable to the state. is to hire them
out to work upon the farms within
easy distance from the prison.
OF the over $50 practically unem-
ployed prisoners, about fifty are leas-
ed out to work upon the Marion coun-
ty roads and a dozen or SO were today
put to work for the state in spreading
gravel upon the asylum farm road,
which was improved by the prison
administration last spring. This
leaves over 200 idle convicts in con-
finement, and the governor believes
that they could be worked to great
advantage upon the farms within a
radius Of ten or twelve miles of the
institution.
No contract has yet been entered
into for the employment of the con-
Victs in the Northwest Stove Foundry,
nor is there likely to be until the i'm
provements under contemplation and
progress are completed at the prison,
and he thinks the state could make
a considerable amount of money in
working them out.
''of course" he said, you under
stand that 1 would take no such risk
as to allow the convicts to be taken
in charge by the farmers themselves
or to enter into contracts with them
for their labor, but my idea is for the
penitentiary administration to take
contracts for grubbing land and send
convicts out, under a strong and eff
cient guard, to do the work. This,
in my mind, is not only feasible, but
practical, and it would in no wise in
terfere with free labor.
