Prof. S. NJ. Tracy, of the bu-

of agriculture, who has been in
this section several days, returned
Yesterday afternoon from a trip to

man failed to locate him before he
left on the train this morning. so
did not get his latest impressions,
but taking his past opinion and
the recent glowing reports from
that section, it is quite easy to tell
how his next report will read.
Mr.. Tracy had an alkali testing
machine which he turned over to
T. J. Hooks, of La Blanca, and
all water will be tested before it is
used for irrigation purposes, es-
pecially after a rise in the river or
when the river is low. This
machine is constructed with tele-
phone receiver, and has cup to
be filled with the water to be tested.
1t is also provided with dial upon
which is marked the figures to
ascertain the amount of alkali
contained. To the dial is attached
a hand or marker connected with
a crank. When a test is made the
receiver is placed to the ear and
the crank turned with the hand.
If alkali is present a buzzing sound
is heard which gradually decreases
and finally ceases. The figures on
the dial as indicated by the hand
when the buzzing sound ceases,
denotes the per cent of alkali in a
given quantity of water. The
machine has been thoroughly
tested, works satisfactorily and
is calculated to be of vast benefit
to farmers and prevent injury to
crops by irrigation with alkaline
waters.

The palatial car, Rice, of the
American Rice Cereal company, in
charge of Byron D. and Herbert
Hurd, brought lot of prospectors
down to the Brownsville country
yesterday afternoon. Among the
guests of the Messrs. Hurd was J.
L. Ladd, proprietor of the Bay
City Tribune, who took advantage
of the occasion to visit the Browns
vile country for the first time.
He was pleasant caller at the THE
HERALD Office and expressed HIM
self much pleased with prospects
in this section. He visited Mata-
moros this morning and as that
city never fails to interest visitors,
he found much to claim his atten-
ton. Besides owning one of the
best newspapers IN Texas, issuing
a daily and weekly edition, Mr..
Ladd also conducts a very success
full real estate business, and has
been directly instrumental in bring
ing many actual settlers into his
locality. He is a very pleasant
gentleman, and as Brownsville and
Bay City are now bound together
by bands of steel, we hope to be-
come better acquainted not only
with Mr.. Laid, but many other
prominent citizens of that city.

Was Judge Bennett Elected
Analysis of the Eighth Judicial District
BY LEO VINCENT

That the elections in the eighth
judicial district, and for that matter
all over Colorado, have been full OF
surprises, none will deny.
That the voters are getting very
restless, all will agree.
But, that the voters are becoming
more intelligent. as determined bv
the results, some will question. l
am one OF these doubters.
l am still innocent enough to be-
lieve that the purpose Of an election
law should be to carry into Its use
the greatest degree OF individual in
telligence with the simplest possible
effort, and If it can be shown that
the present cumbersome election law
and system is productive of serious
blunders and otherwise faulty. it
should be the wish and effort of every
right minded citizen to seek to cor
rect it.
From the various official tables l
have taken sufficient figures from
which to draw the comparison de-
sired and from which the reader may
draw yet more lessons. In 1900 the
people were in quiet state of mind
and divided alone on the great ma
tional issues as represented by Nc
Kinley and Bryan, with the state
going very heavy for the latter. The
ratio is fairly represented in the
judicial vote below.
Early in 1903 the troubles COM
mence between the new republican
state administration and the labor
unions. This strife and much of the
time war, continued all through the
first Peabody administration and was
fairly reflected in the vote of 1904.

the scattered nature OF the result.
have used the large
vote here more as means Of fair
comparison-rhey all residing out
side of this judicial district and best
representing party strength.
The question of intelligent use Of
the present ballot Is only partially
shown in this table. 1t is found in
the ambiguous and seemingly contra
dictory instructions for the voting
where two persons are to be voted for
and elected, as in the case of two
district judges, two representatives,
etc. The democrats realized that
they had hard hill to climb in the
3, ,524 normal majority to overcome,
yet with the unusually popular man,
in the person of Judge Bennett, they
felt hopeful. An examination of the
full tables discloses the fact that he
ran ahead of his ticket in all Of the
l4l precincts In the district. Slowly
it has come to light that enough re-
publicans with an occasional social
ist, attempted to vote for Judge
Bennett and did SO to the extent of
placing an (X) against mis- name on
the ballot but failed to mark out
one of their own candidates, to make
a strong average over the district of
ten votes lost to each precinct.
This would nave made his vote
10, $50. In the 26 precincts heard
from semi-officially from the judges
or watchers, the losses to Bennett
run from four up to thirty-two to
the precinct. Had the voters who
intended to and believed they had
voted for Bennett finished the
bunglesome job they would have cast
], 40 less votes for the two republi-
can candidates. Divide this loss
equally between Judge Garrigues and
Mr.. Gamble and it would have
brought Judge Garrigues second in
the race with Mr.. Gamble a loser
instead of Judge Bennett.
The above fact may be edifying to
some and disappointing to others,
yet the most serious fact is the cum
bersome and ambiguous nature of
the ballot we have which becomes
abortive of the very purpose it Is in
tended to accomplish.
The people have adopted the
amendment to the constitution
which provides that machine may
be hereafter used instead of the
blanket printed ballot. 1 deeply
hope that the machine will be
adopted and the present law SC
amended that the voter cannot vote
a straight ticket by pushing one but
ton, but must go down the line and
vote for the person he or she really
believes is best qualified, regardless
of politics.
1t is not reasona BILE to 'retort that
this criticism is due to any demo.
cratic disappointment this year.
The bunglesome system works
against any popular candidate anG
may serve to defeat some particularly
strong and good republican another
year. If it is not simple, intelligen,
