As a matter of information to you
and your friends at Charlotte and the
press, If they CAFE to make the state

ceipts at Charlotte were 81, 8 .25. and
not $1,000, that they are inclined 20

were $500. The ladies' of the Presbyte-
rian Hospital k-cw that the expenses
would be 5000 when they signed The
contract four morths ago. This leaves
a profit of $3.50 % of which the ladies
of the hospital received s115.12. A per-

When the Boxes Can't be Stuffed.

The stufing OF ballot boxes, FOR
which several Fo irteenth ward citizens
have been given a Justly severe ger
tence in jail accompanied by a fine, Is
one of the crimes that will be pretty
well wiped out by the enactment Of Al
effective personal registration act
In nearly all the cases OF this kind
exposed the number of stuffed ballots
amounted to about 200 to a box n
fact, that has been so exactly the num-
Der as TO make IL clearly a point III
the conspiracy, and it has usually cx-
ceeded the number OF ballots honest
ly cast, showing to what extent fraHd
has been possible. They way in which
this crime has been perpetrated has
been a boast and a matter of amuse-
ment On the part of those who work
ed it. 1t has been described to coun-
try members of the legislature by sol
of their Philadelphia associates as a
triumph of political skill.
That crime cannot be achieved WITH
out a sufficient number Of fraudulent
names on the lists to form the bass
for it. There must be one name to
check for every ballot stuffed in the
bax, and the Names that represent The
200 ballots that go into a box bef IRE
the polls are opened cannot safely be
the names of citizens who may late. in
the day come to the polls to exercise
their honest right. These names. there
fore, have been the anne of dead per-
sons, of PRISONS who have no existence
of unnaturalized persons and those who
had no residence i nthe division, with
now and then the anne of childre1
and household pets.
Under q personal registration law
these James cannot be got on the lists.
For years anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000 were carried on the as
SCISSORS lists In the city, and as
evidence produced in a number Of
cases shows, practically all of them
were made use Of at each election. In
a number of wards the fraudulent
votes cast exceeded those of qualified
electors. The same work would nave
been done at the last election had it
not been for the vigilance Of the po-
lice management and the allied reform
organizations. The Organization did
it's utmost to save it's fraudulent
names from elimination, but the cleo
ton was too well guarded to make it's
efforts successful.
Given another chance the same unre-
formed Organization would again PAD
the lists in the same way. With a per-
sonal registration act effectively drawn
it will never again get such a chance;
and the light that has been thrown
recently upon criminal election meth
DDS ought to be a great help in the
| preparation Of d law that will have
no holes in it.-PhiladelDhia Press.

Japan Recuperating.

The little island empire Of Japan
furnishes constant surprises to our
longer-tested civilization. The manner
in which the authorities dealt with the
incipient riots growing out of the un-
satisfactory peace treaty is a fair in
stance. It's further prOmptness in re-
aliZing it's duties in Korea and sup
pressing, s~ummarily, the attempt at
revolution in the Hermit Kingdom"
is of the same reassuring nature.
Now we are informed, on the author
ity of the Revue de Commerce Exteri-
eur, Of Paris, that the government is
preparing to violate two of the most
venerable traditions of the country, for
the sake of fastening recuperatiOn
from the i'll effects Of the war and
pushing forward the industrial devel-
Opment Of Japan and allied territory.
This radical departure is no less than
permitting foreigners to buy and hold
land in Japan, and her own people to
mortgage their real estate holdings.
In a country rigid in it's exclusive
policy, despite it's bland courtesy, this
first step is remarkable. The second
one is no less extraordinary, consider
ing that it removes Il Of the safe
guards against ana WIZ
cat inyestment-a wise precautlOn OF
a discreet government.
AS our authority remarks, this policy
will release many million dollars, at a
time when the financial system of the
nation is stressed to the point almost
of collapse. Mines and manufacturing
and agriculture alike will profit by the
~expedient, which has the decided ad-
vantage of combining itself to the realm
Of legitimate business methods. And
it may safely be taken for granted that
the government that has thus long kept
its head and forced its population to
keep theirs, will know how to apply
the cheek should the device make to-
ward a wholesome foreign invasion Or
encourage dangerous speculation on
part Of the Japanese.-Atlanta Consti-
