ABOUT THE BALLOTS.

Complaint is made that the bal
lots for West Berwick borough
we're wrongly printed, and thai
the result may be that the election
in those boroughs will be declared
void.
The ballots were all printed at
the COLUMBIAN OFFICE, and were
printed in accordance with the copy
furnished us. No mistake was
made here.
Columbia county has several
ways of printing ballots for differ.
ent localities. There is the regular
form tor boroughs. another for
townships. another for the Bloom
Poor District. and still another for
Conyngham School district. Papers
are sent i'll TO the Commissioner
office without any i'll tructions
whatever as to the make up of the
ticket. Frequently more persons
are nominated by caucuses than
can be elected, and when several
persons are nominated for the same
office there is nothing to indicate
how many are 10 be elected. The
Commissioners clerk and the print.
er have to do lot of guessing, as
it is impossible to make up a correct
ticket from some of the papers filed.
There is no reason why there
should ever be any trouble about
ballots. AS required by law, a
sample ballot was sent to the Judge
of election of every district last
week, Thursday. This is done so
that corrections may be made if
there is any error. If the Judge
sticks it in his pocket and makes 40
effort to see that it is all right, he
is not the man for the job. The
ballots are supposed to be prepared
properly, but with our complicated
system mistakes will happen, and
the sendiug out of specimens is to
give time for correction if any are
needed.

TO AMEND LICENSE LAW.
Liquor Dealers Drafting a Bill That win Be
More Definite as TO Restrictions.

Sweeping additional regulations
OF the liquor traffic Of this State, in
the interest of the liquor dealers,
will be adopted at the present sess-
ion of the Legislature. if the Retail
Liquor Dealers Association of
Eastern Pennsylvania has its way
A bill containing numerous amend
ments to the present high license
is being drafted by w. J. White
house, OF Pottsville, counsel for the
association, and will be introduced
into the Legislature by Representa-
tive c. A. Snyder, of Schuylkill
county and it is declared that It is
slated to pass.
Mr. Whitehouse says the bill
will cover many phases Of the liquor
traffic on which the law is now ST
lent, thus necessitating rules of
Court which differ widely in many
counties. Among these subjects
are the hours of closing on week
nights and the question of opening
or closing on holidays.
THE HOLIDAY DIVERSITY.
In certain sections of the State
the saloons have been ordered clos.
ed by the Judges on Memorial Day,
Christmas, etc, while in other
parts there has never been any
question of the rights of saloons to
keep open on such days.
In giving orders in this respect
it is said that certain Judges have
made use of their power to threaten
a revocation of licenses if their or.
ders are not carried out. In some
counties saloons are compelled to
close at 10 O'Clock at night, while
in others they are allowed to remain
open until midnight, and still in
others all night.
WANT LICENSE TO BE UNIFORM.
"The Legislature should more
closely define the regulation of the
traffic, said Mr.. Whitehouse.
Every saloon keeper will then
understand just what he is to do.
The average saloon keeper wants
to obey the law, and when he does
this he should not be bound down
by additional rules, operative in
only one section.
1--WE expect the bill I am draft
ing to have the support of every
liquor dealer in the State. as we'll
as those who are willing that the
traffic shall have fair play"
1t is intimated that the bill may
have clause which will impose
greater responsibility upon those
who make charges against liquor
dealers, with the intent of revoking
their licenses.
