IN OLD MISSOURI

The mysterious stranger" has

as smoothly and easily as II dropped
in two years ago
The Democrats have regained seven
congressman I'm Missouri and elected
their state ticket by plurality of 5000.
In spite of the heavy weight of trying
to carry Joe Folk, the Missouri Demo-
Gratis have come into their own. elect
ing legislature which will be largely
Democratic on joint ballot and which
will undoubtedly return Senator stone
to the senate.
Missouri dropped into the Republican
column two years ago chiefly because
II would not have Alton y. Parker, and
also because It had a great many local
dissensions. Its return to the true
faith this year puts the splendid old
state back in 1.-The solid south" column

it will again wander away. Two years
of Republicanism were sufficient. They
have been followed by repentance in

THE BLANKET BALLOT

That the Australian ballot is far from
being a perfect voting device was
clearly proved in Tuesdays election. 1t
may afford the best system obtainable
at present, but there is ample scope for
the exercise of ingenuity in the line of
improvement.
The official ballot for Los Angeles,
as used on Tuesday, occupied a printed
area equal to about two pages of The
Herald. There was a bewilderihg num-
Der of names on the several tickets, in
addition to the proposed constitutional
amendments and the provision for vot-
ing outside of the regular tickets. No
doubt great many intelligent voters
were puzzled in efforts to comply with
the voluminous but not very lucid
printed instructions to voters. How
voters of Indifferent comprehension
must have struggled with the task may
be imagined.
The known. difficulty of understand
ing the ballot, as official copies of it
were mailed to voters in advance,
doubtless caused many to stay away
from the polls. Interest in the election
probably was not strong enough, in
some cases, to overcome timidity in
tackling the blanket.
The hope of sanguine city hall states
men that the mechanical voting ma
chine would simplify and facilitate the
casting of ballots has proved to be
both a delusion and financial snare.
The city and county together have a
large line Of voting machines in stock,
all of which promise to become speci-
mems OF costly junk unles the makers
can be hired to take them back whence
they came.
As the number of tickets is likely TO
increase with the development of politi-
cal parties, the cOmplexity Of the ballot
viii increase correspondingly. The size
OF the ballot in Los Angeles has doub-
led in short time, and II will soon
need to be the size Of counterpane If
it continues to enlarge IN like ratio.
And the greater the complexity In the
operation of voting the greater the op-
rortunity for fraudulent manipulation

GREAT PERIL THREATENS MAINE

1t is quite likely that the lev. DIR.
Sllas G. Swallow of Pennsylvania will
be called to Lewiston, Me-, to aid in the
crusade now being waged against un-
righteous young men who are feeding
cows Jamaica rum and selling result
ant milk punch to thirsty people.
SO great has been the demand for
the milk from these besotted cows that
the whole temperance movement in the
commonwealth is threatened. At Bldde-
ford Aunt Susan Polk, who was wont
to refresh herself while addressing the
Woman's Christian Temperance union,
accidentally got hold of a bottle of this
sin-charged milk and scandalized the
sisters by her fervid appeals for more
distilleries.
Three clergymen stopped at dairy
counter and fingered so long drinking
the fluid that they had to be dragged
away by force, crying in heartbroken
way against interference with personal
habits.
Night before last, at a church festi-
val, the ice cream made from alcoholic
milk proved so seductive for Miss
Prude Forbes, the oldest soprano
singer in Maine, that she Rugged the
pastor.
The vile stuff is rolling over Maine
in a flood and unless something is
done soon the whole people will be
and physically saturated in

NOT CALlFORNIA-LIKE

One result of San Francisco's de-
plorable condition is causing great
anxiety to the federal government
That is the ostracism of Japanese pu'
pills in the public schools. Until a re-
cent period no discrimination against
Japanese was made in the San Fran.
cisco schools and the step now taker
is credited to the demands of the trade
unions. The Schmitz administration
from beginning to end, is controlled by
the unions.
The action of the San Francisco school
authorities in segregating japanese
pupils has aroused indignant protest
in Japan. The treaty between the
United States and Japan, as amended
in 1894, gives to Japanese residents or
sojourners in this country all rights
and privileges enjoyed here by Euro
peans. The federal constitution, how
ever, provides that 1.-The powers not
delegated to the United States by the
constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
states, are reserved to the states, re-
spectively- or to the people" 1t would
seem, therefore, that the federal gov
ernment is powerless to compel COM
pliance, in San Francisco, with the
terms 20 the American-Japanese treaty.
The gravity of this situation lies in
the evidence that reprisal in Japan may
be expected if the discrimination
against Japanese pupils in the San
Francisco schools is allowed to con-
tinue. A boycott of American trade in
Japan is the primary danger appre-
hended, leading possibly to discrimina-
tion against American interests in
Korea and Manchuria, ultimately en-
dangering friendly relations between
Japan and the United States
The state of California, not the city
of San Francisco, should determine
the broad question involved in the con-
troversy cited. San Francisco is the
only city in this state, we believe in
which there is such school ostracism
as that of which the Japanese COM
plain. Certainly there is nothing of the
kind in Los Angeles nor any other city
or town in Southern California.
The Legislature, in the coming ses-
sion, should take up this question by
passing an act of uniform applica-
tion throughout the state bearing on
this question. There is no reason to be-
lieve that the great mass of Califor-
mans uphold the narrow-minded action
of the San Francisco school board.
The Japanese, as class, are well liked
by the people of this state. and their
labor has proved to be an invaluable
factor in harvesting our fruit crops and
assisting in many other industries.

"ROMANJl" FOR JAPAN

"Romanji' is now the cry of the new
and younger Japan. BY Romanj is
meant the Roman alphabet. Japan has
the Chinese method of writing and
printing. Chinese characters are not
letters in an alphabet, but arbitrary
representations of definite idea. They
are ideographs. Eight Roman letters
are required to spell Yokohama, but
only two Chinese characters are needed
to represent 1t.
1t can readily be seen that the task
of learning to read and write Chinese
is stupendous one. Many of the Chi
nese have learned to use enough of the
characters to enable them to keep ac-
counts and manage a shop, but only
the wealthy, leisure class have the time
necessary to master the forms suffi-
ciently to enable them to read their ma
tional literature. And outside of China
and Japan the knowledge is practically
useless
