ly policemen who are not citizens;
and in carrying on scientific and
other kinds of professional work 1t
Is also desirable at times to employ
persons who are not citizens.
The Judiciary Committee also re-
ported on Senate Bill 10, relating to
elections, as follows:
ELECTION LAW CHANGE
The bill relates to elections and
methods of voting. Sections / and 2
provide that the ballot boxes and bal
lots shall be furnished by the Secre-
tary of the Territory instead of the
Clerk of the County: and Section 3
provides that the Secretary OF the
Territory shall tabulate the election
returns, which provisions we APP
prove.
But the provisions of Sections from
4 to 10 inclusive do not meet with
our approval. The main object of
these sections Is to provide new
system of ballots and voting and
while the plan proposed has features
which are commendable we believe
that they will be found to be more
complicated than the present system.
And we therefore recommend that
the bill be amended by striking out
of the bin sections 4, 8, 6. Z, s, 8
and 10 and amend the title so as to
READ IAN Act to Amend Sections 81,
3S and 80 of Act 80 of the Laws of
the Session of 1906"
With these amendments we recon-.
mend the passage of the bill.

ported on House Joint Resolution No.

ing of two members of the Senate

under treaty protection and exempt
from arrest, no matter what he does.
One would think that under the
circumstances they would be partl-
cularly careful about not violating
police ordinances. But they are not
and they have complained bitterly to
the State department about being
stopped on the Conduit road. Now
the mayor and sheriff of the little
town have become incensed at the
persistent violation of the local laws
and they say that though they can
not arrest diplomat, that there is
no law against stopping him and
warning about the law. This is just
what the diplomats object to. They
say it 10 humiliating. But sheriff
Collins says there is nothing to dis
tinguish an ambassador or minister
from anbody else under bear skin
coat and pair of goggles. so he pro-
poses to stop every foreign envoy and
make him establish bis identity or
else carry a flag or some other dis
tinguisa.ng mark on his machine.
The whole corps diplomatique de-
clares it is an outrage. The State
department says it cannot do any
thing about it and up to date it
looks as though the mayor and the
sheriff had scored.
There has been good deal of talk
about graft and rake off in the pur-
chase of supplies for the Panama
canal, and it appears now that the
whole of buying is to be taken over
by the army, which will handle
practically all the purchases for the
work and the men. The purchases
of machinery and material for the
work are to be made by the chief OF
engineers, those of medicines by the
surgeon generals Office and those OF
commissary material through the
commissary generals Office. There
is one thing to be said about the new
scheme and that is that the officers
in charge of these departments are
about as nearly incorruptible as
human beings can be and there is not
likely to be much more talk Of graft.
! Accounts are being cast up at the

preparation of S25, ZOO made for .his
purpose by the last congress and
there was some talk about it's not
being large enough. The railroads
which had been furnishing prrsi
dental special trains had been spend
Ing money like water and going to-
. ex.ravagant lengths. The President
likes comfort but does not care about
; Injuries, and since he has been pay
ing his own way with government
money he has cut everything down
to every plain first class accomoda-
tions. The result is that the total
travelling expenditure comes inside
of $4,000 and about two thirds of
the appropriation will be turned
| back into the Treasury.
