IT looks very much as if those indi-
viduals who imagined that the people
were yearning to vote for them con-
tinuously had taken counsel with their
hopes rather than with their common
sense. 1t is now in order for some
men to go way back and sit down.
Evidently the commuters were on
deck yesterday judging from the re-
suits in the First and Fourth Wards.
They are eDterprising citizens and
know what they want.

Useless Moving Of Crops.

The country has another bumper
crop to move, vet the railroads, to
take them at their word, have done
very little in a practical way to stave
off the usual car famine. J.. J. Hill,
who speaks for the railroad interests,
says that enormous outlays will be
necessary at once in order to equip the
lines for handling the normal increase
Of traffic. In some quarters there is
complaint that the public attitude to-
ward the railroads does not encourage
the owners to put money into new
equipment whenever they can ,avoidEit.
Meanwhile, IL the soil keeps on yield
Ing generously, the public must get
around the crop moving problem as
best it can.

transportation burden. But It may not
be necessary, after all, to await the

and dredging OF choked up. channels.

some. The roads now often haul the
soil products twice az far AZ they
need tosbe moved. They get q long

Changing the Form of Ballot.


Since the national election advocates
Of ballot reform in many states have
renewed the agitation for a ballot
which shall eliminate the party col
umn. The object is to make the cast
ing of a .split" vote easier than it is
sometimes thought to be with the or
binary blanket ballot.
Objection is made to the form of
ballot which requires the voter to
mark each candidate of his choice on
the ground that this system demands
intelligence beyond the mind Of the
average voter. Agitation for ballot e
form is most vigorous in communities
where the vote is close, and It is no.
ticeable that in many states where the
form Of the blanket ballot has been
radically modified since 1t was first in
troduced the form in use at the last
election has been found wanting by
those who seek the ideal ballot.
